Josh Harrison chosen to represent Pirates at All Star Game - LP 119

Jul 12, 2017.

US baseball news.

Josh Harrison chosen to represent Pirates at All-Star Game.

Joshua Isaiah "Josh" Harrison was born July 8, 1987. He is an American professional baseball second baseman with the Pittsburgh Pirates of Major League Baseball (MLB). Harrison has also played third base and outfield for the Pirates.

Josh Harrison participated in his second All Star game yesterday. His first came back in 2014, when he broke out in a major way. Josh Harrison said he will bring his usual assortment of gloves to the All-Star Game.

Jung Ho Kang's visa problems and Starling Marte's suspension forced Harrison back into a multi-position role.

After signing a four-year contract of $ 27.5 million with two options of the team, after five years of work, Josh Harrison struggled through the two intervening seasons, never quite putting together a season approaching his 2014 highs.

In 2015 and 2016, Harrison put up a combined 2.8 fWAR. Harrison seemed to have carved out a profile for himself that represented the type of player many clubs would love to have it.

Harrison said with a grin that I will take what I normally take: an infield, an outfield. Harrison will be the lone Pirate in the game. Harrison tops the majors with 18 hit by pitches, a skill he doens't have to display in Miami.

He is a 2017 NL All Star, and he does deserve that recognition, however underwhelming it might seem. During his 2014-2015 downturn, with just a 3.9 percent walk rate for his career, Harrison loves to put the ball in play. It ended up serving as his undoing.

More info about Josh Harrison:

On July 6, 2014, Harrison was selected to his first career All-Star Game, along with teammates Andrew McCutchen and Tony Watson. At the time of his selection, Harrison was hitting .298 through 72 games. Harrison also had played 5 different positions throughout the season, and was listed as a utility player for the All-Star Game.

Since then, Harrison has played multiple positions for the Pirates. He spends most of his time at third base following Pedro Álverez's move to 1st Base. Harrison finished 2014 with the best statistics of his career with a .315 batting average, 13 home runs, 52 runs batted in, and finished ninth in voting for NL MVP.

Harrison began the 2015 season as the starting third baseman for the Pirates, agreeing to a four-year contract extension through 2018, with club options for 2019 and 2020, shortly after the season's start.

Following the 2015 season, the Pirates' regular starting Second baseman, Neil Walker, was traded to the New York Mets. Josh Harrison is slated to begin the 2016 season starting at second base.

Six things you need to know about Swedish countess Eva Ekeblad – LP 118

Jul,2017.

Science News.

Six things you need to know about Swedish countess Eva Ekeblad.

Eva Ekeblad (10 July 1724 – 15 May 1786) was a Swedish countess who was a salon hostess, agronomist, and scientist.

She was widely known for discovering a method in 1746 to make alcohol and flour from potatoes, allowing greater use of scarce grains for food production, significantly reducing Sweden's incidence of famine. Ekeblad was the first female member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences (1748).

This year Google Doodle honours Swedish aristocrat and scientist Eva Ekeblad (1724-86) on the 293rd anniversary of her birth.

Here are Six things you need to know about this extraordinary lady.

1. Ekeblad has a rather special family background

Eva De la Gardie was born to statesman count Magnus Julius De la Gardie (1668–1741) and the amateur politician and salonist Hedvig Catharina Lilje: sister of Captain Carl Julius De la Gardie and Hedvig Catharina De la Gardie and the aunt of Axel von Fersen the Younger.

Her brother was married to Cathérine Charlotte De la Gardie and the brother-in-law of the royal favorite Hedvig Taube.

Her sister-in-law, Catherine Charlotte De La Gardie, was also an interesting character: inventing a smallpox vaccine and intervening to stop Sweden's last witch trial in Dalarna in 1758.

2.  Ekeblad was the first female member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences (1748).

Eva helped solve Sweden’s recurrent food crises as potatoes were now being used to make alcohol, therein reducing dependence on other staple cereals like oats, rye and barley. This contributes to releasing them for use in pastry to feed hungry people.

Ekeblad submitted his results to the Swedish Academy in 1746 and was rewarded by becoming the first female member to understand the full meaning of her breakthrough.

3.She improved the country's eating habits and reduced the frequency of famines.

Ekeblad began experimenting on potatoes in 1746. In 1746, Ekeblad wrote to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences on her discoveries of how to make flour and alcohol out of potatoes

Ekeblad's work turned potatoes into a staple food in Sweden, and increased the supply of wheat, rye and barley available for making bread, since potatoes could be used instead to make alcohol.

4.She also discovered a method of bleaching cotton textile.

She also discovered a method of bleaching cotton woven fabrics with soap in 1751, and replaced the dangerous ingredients in cosmetics at the time using potato flour (1752).

She is said to have advertised the plant using its flowers as hair ornaments.

5.Eva Ekeblad also took on a number of roles within the royal court in Stockholm.

After the death of her husband in 1771, the renowned scientist took on a number of roles within the royal court in Stockholm.

She served as lady in waiting to Queen Sophia Magdalena, as Mistress of the Robes and as governess to Crown Prince Gustav IV Adolf, whose birth she witnessed.

6.She is a talented woman but she also carries a strange disease.

Her hitherto good health was affected by an illness that year which left her much weakened and made her periodically bedridden for her remaining eight years.

She spent her last six years in Mariedal Castle, where she continued to be celebrated by the local aristocracy until she died.

Spanish professional tennis Rafael Nadal falls in fifth set at Wimbledon...

July 11, 2017.

Wimbledon News.

Spanish professional tennis Rafael Nadal falls in fifth set at Wimbledon.

Fifth-seeded Nadal fell behind two sets to none, with his loss in the first set snapping a streak of 28 straight completed sets won in Grand Slams. He erased a two-set deficit. Then, he erased four match points. Nadal could not, however, erase the fifth.

Rafael Nadal admitted 34 games. He only lost 35 in the entire French Open in 2017. Nadal lost despite defeating Muller, 198-191.

Muller managed to pull this one out, unfazed but allowing opportunities to pass him by. No. 16 seed Gilles Muller got him in a four-hour, 47-minute, five-set marathon to post the upset and advance to his second career quarterfinals.

Although good playing as in the opening game, Nadal could not handle Muller's attack and hit the attacking net. Muller's powerful attacks, Nadal failed to win.

Many people find the surprising failure has prolonged Nadal's drought. He has won two of his 15 Grand Slam championships at Wimbledon, and played in the final three other times, most recently in 2011, but since then, Nadal’s exits at the All England Club.

Nadal has won 15 Grand Slam singles titles, the 2008 Olympic gold medal in singles, an all-time record of 30 ATP World Tour Masters 1000 titles, tied with Novak Djokovic, and 18 ATP World Tour 500 tournaments.

He was also a member of the winning Spain Davis Cup team in 2004, 2008, 2009, and 2011. In 2010, he became the seventh male player in history and youngest of five in the Open Era to achieve the Career Grand Slam at age 24.

He is the second male player, after Andre Agassi, to complete the singles Career Golden Slam. In 2011, Nadal was named the Laureus World Sportsman of the Year.The left-hander is the sixth player in the Open Era to reach more than 100 finals on the ATP World Tour.

Nadal is the only male player in tennis history to win one Grand Slam and at least one Masters 1000 title for ten consecutive years from 2005–2014. He beat Guillermo Vilas's Open Era record of 49 clay-court titles by winning the Monte-Carlo Masters in 2017.

Nadal became the first man to win the same tournament 10 times by winning the Monte-Carlo Masters in 2017. By winning the 2017 French Open, Nadal became the first male and second overall to win a single Grand Slam tournament 10 times.

But clearly at Wimbledon 2017, Rafael Nadal simply got outlasted. The fifth set alone lasted 2 hours, 15 minutes, and Nadal could not manage to complete what would have been his fourth career comeback from two sets down. Therefore, Muller who was able to enjoy a win that seemed to be slipping away.

It is regrettable for Rafael Nadal's great efforts.

More info about Rafael Nadal:

Rafael Nadal was born in Manacor, Balearic Islands, Spain. His father, Sebastián Nadal, is a businessman who owns an insurance company and a glass and window company, Vidres Mallorca, and manages his own restaurant, Sa Punta.

Nadal turned professional at the age of 15, and participated in two events on the ITF junior circuit. In 2002, at the age of 16, Nadal reached the semifinals of the Boys' Singles tournament at Wimbledon, in his first ITF junior event. In the same year he helped Spain defeat the US in the final of the Junior Davis Cup in his second, and final, appearance on the ITF junior circuit.

In 2003, he won the ATP Newcomer of the Year Award. By the age of 17, he beat Roger Federer the first time they played and became the youngest man to reach the third round at Wimbledon since Boris Becker.

At 19, Nadal won the French Open the first time he played it, a feat not accomplished in Paris for more than 20 years. He eventually won it the first four times he played at Roland Garros. Early in his career, Nadal became known for his habit of biting the trophies he won.

Nadal went on to win a record tenth French Open title, his first since 2014, ending his three-year drought in Grand Slams.

Nadal lost in the round of 16 at Wimbledon, 13–15 in the fifth set, to Gilles Müller.

The Celtic Football Club is a professional football club based in Glasgow, Scotland, which plays in the Scottish Premiership.

He led the club to win promotion to the Premier League, the first Welsh team ever to do so, before guiding them to finish 11th the following season. 

On 1 June 2012, Rodgers accepted an offer to become the new manager of Liverpool, whom he led to runners-up position in the league in the 2013–14 season before his dismissal in October 2015. He became manager of Celtic in May 2016.
