Complaints about the incorrect name began soon after the name was first used, and on May 6, 2023, for one home game, the team called itself the Winston-Salem Hyphens. The Dash name is rumored to be a reference to a nickname for the city of Winston-Salem, "The Dash", a reference to the (-) symbol used in the middle of the city's name, despite the fact that it is not a dash at all, but a hyphen. On December 4, 2008, the team publicly announced that they would be called the Winston-Salem Dash from 2009 onward. When the Warthogs were about to open a new ballpark, a contest was held to give the team a new name. As the Warthogs, they were the league champion in 2003. In addition to being alliterative, it also referred to the somewhat-celebrated acquisition of some warthogs at the North Carolina Zoo around that time. The winning entry, the Warthogs, became the official team name in 1995. After the 1994 season, the club decided to change its name and sponsored a contest through the local newspaper, the Winston-Salem Journal, to come up with a new name. The team initially retained the Spirits name after becoming the Cincinnati Reds A-level affiliate in 1993, winning the Carolina League championship in that same year. The logo of the Winston-Salem Warthogs, used from 1995 to 2008 In 1984, the team changed affiliates again, this time contracting with the Chicago Cubs, and changed its name to the Winston-Salem Spirits. It remained with the Red Sox for 22 years, and was known until 1983 as the Winston-Salem Red Sox. Īfter a brief period (1957–60) as the Winston-Salem Red Birds, the team switched affiliation in 1961 to the Boston Red Sox. ![]() The 1950 team was recognized as one of the 100 greatest minor league teams of all time. ![]() Louis Cardinals affiliate, it retained the Twins name until 1953, when it became the Winston-Salem Cardinals. The current franchise joined the Carolina League in 1945, and is the oldest continuously operating team in that circuit. The Twins played in the Virginia-North Carolina League in 1905, the Carolina Baseball Association from 1908 to 1917 and the Piedmont League from 1920 to 1933 and again from 1937 to 1942. Previous baseball clubs in Winston-Salem had typically been called the "Twins", in reference to the long-since-merged "Twin Cities" of Winston and Salem since 1905. The Dash began playing their home games at the Truist Stadium in 2010 after having Ernie Shore Field (now known as Gene Hooks Field at Wake Forest Baseball Park) as their home from 1956 to 2009. They are a High-A team in the South Atlantic League and have been a farm team of the Chicago White Sox since 1997.

Like Threadless, FN shares vaguely similar democratic-pop-culture values that seems to please its community. Appearing on the main FN page, with its 14 million followers, represents the opportunity for rapid fame-boost and free new clothes as a form of payment. They constitute the brand’s visible community, the Novababes. The company can also rely on its fan-base, among which 3,000 micro-influencers regularly send pictures of themselves wearing the brand’s apparel to the official FN account in order to be broadcasted. Their inventory is extremely large since they offer “500 new styles a week” according to Saghian. Their success is due to their ultra-fast-paced organization from design, the company deals with over 1,000 manufacturers, to same day delivery, available to customers within 40 miles of LA. It takes FN 24h to create a prototype, photograph it on a model and post it online. In 2017, CEO Richard Saghian said “the company grew by 600 %” and in 2018, Google placed it the most Googled fashion company, before major luxury fashion brands.įashion Nova’s business model is based on sensing the popularity of certain IG influencers’ style in order to immediately offer a copied version at very low price, ranging from around 9 to 50$, on their online store. FN experienced a rapid expansion since the launched of its online service in 2014. Most of IG users are between 13 and 29 years old which turn out to be FN’s targeted crowd. ![]() A quick overview shows that IG and e-fashion will respectively experience promising growths while both attracting the same age segment as well. With over one billion of monthly active users, IG is the leading platforms for influencer marketers. The ER, a clear indicator of crowd’s taste considers the number of likes and comments in its equation and constitutes a free, easily accessible data.Īfter Instagram (IG) became so popular, Fashion Nova, a low-cost e-fashion company has developed a winning scenario by exploiting user’s ER on one hand and asserting the brand’s reputation on the other hand using paid partnerships with the same IG influencers whose style was emulated, thus rising from anonymity to pop-stars favorite’s brand in only a few years. ![]() Fashion Nova seems to have mastered the art of “crowd reading” by monitoring Instagram’s user’s Engagement Rate on the photo sharing platform. While “it is notoriously difficult to predict which people and which products will succeed in the creative industries”, a safe solution is always to use the crowd’s opinion as a compass. ![]() ![]() Since each piece of Tumbled Stone is made from a Crystal host, each piece still contains small levels of metaphysical energy properties. Crystal Tumbled Stones make excellent decor, as their bright polish enhances light reflection, and their small, lightweight form means they can be taken anywhere. Perhaps “Xochitzol’s tears” weren’t wasted after all.Crystal Tumbled are beautifully polished and smoothed samples of Crystals, often coming in various sizes and shapes. Obsidian is still fairly new in modern medicine but the history of this glass rock abundantly found in central Mexico has come full circle in terms of its usefulness and value. Today, obsidian blades are most often used in cardiac and eye surgery, due to the precision of the incision, which allows for rapid healing and minimal scarring. “Under the microscope, you could see the obsidian scalpel had divided individual cells in half, and next to it, the steel scalpel incision looked like it had been made by a chainsaw.” As soon as he turned around, everyone in the studio was like ‘Ohhh,’ ” Green said. “It wasn’t hard to tell the difference at all. Green once worked with documentary producers in Egypt to do a blind test on the difference between obsidian scalpels and surgical steel scalpels. “The biggest advantage with obsidian is that it is the sharpest edge there is, it causes very little trauma to tissue, it heals faster, and more importantly, it heals with less scarring,” he said.” Lee Green, professor and chairman of the Department of Family Medicine at the University of Alberta, says he routinely uses obsidian blades in surgery. ![]() Our common household razor blades are 100 times thicker than obsidian!ĭr. Obsidian has one of the finest edges that nanotechnology can produce and is 15 times sharper than surgical steel, it’s no wonder that obsidian became a valuable tool in medicine and warfare when you consider that at an obsidian scalpel can rival diamond in the fineness of its edge. Obsidian was believed to protect its owner, so Aztecs would place an obsidian knife in water in the courtyard of their home to keep sorcerers away because it was believed that they were frightened by their own reflections. They believed that obsidian, like everything in nature, had a spirit. Aztec priests polished the obsidian to a mirror-like sheen and claimed to divine the future with it. This greatly added to its importance, as Aztec royalty and aristocracy wore obsidian jewelry. In Lake Chapala, we still find small clay pots which were used to catch the blood from cuts in their ears and tongues to appease Tlaloc, the rain god, which were then thrown into the lake as an offering.īesides being used in weaponry, obsidian is a semiprecious stone, which can be polished. Many have questioned how the Aztecs could be so willing to undergo the pain of cutting themselves but it’s now known that a fresh obsidian blade is so sharp that the cut is barely felt and the blade approaches molecular thinness. The Aztecs believed in ritual sacrifice and self-mutilation to appease their gods. It was one of the main objects valued and traded among the Aztecs, Teotihuacan and Toltecs, but obsidian reached its pinnacle of pre-Columbian development in the hands of the Aztecs. When the god asked her how he could help her, Xochitzol asked him: “May my tears become a beacon of light for when my beloved returns.” Her tears became representative of the enormous Obsidian deposits in the area.Īrcheologists agree that this is one of the largest and most important obsidian deposits in Central Mexico. ![]() ![]() One of the gods asked her why she was crying, and she told him of her lost love. When he didn’t return, she climbed the mountain and began to cry without stopping. As they were saying goodbye, they climbed to the top of the Sierra de las Navajas and Xochitzol swore that she would never marry until her beloved returned. Her father, a priest, did not want them to get married so he sent her lover to war. Obsidian was known as the “Stone of the Gods.” As the story goes, a beautiful young woman named Xochitzol (Sun flower) fell in love with a great warrior. The majority of obsidian is black or gray but a rarer green obsidian was prized for works of art and their most valuable weapons. Obsidian is a naturally occurring volcanic glass formed into a kind of rock by the rapid cooling of lava. In the Sierra de las Navajas (Razor or Knife mountains), about two hours outside of Lake Chapala, is a modern mine that recently crossed paths with pre-Hispanic tunnels used to quarry obsidian by the Aztecs. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Encrypting your files and requiring two-factor authentication, the service does its best to keep both Mac and Windows-based customers secure.

The important thing is to stay flexible, as injury updates will have a huge bearing on streaming this position in Week 15. I like a lot of matchups this week for defenses. Mac Jones (18%) is also worth a look in a plus matchup against the Raiders. Baltimore faces Atlanta and Pittsburgh in Weeks 16 and 17, respectively. If Jackson misses extended time, Huntley could be a set-and-forget quarterback for the entirety of the fantasy playoffs. Tyler Huntley (28% rostered) has to clear concussion protocol to play this week against Cleveland, but he’s my preferred streamer if he suits up and Lamar Jackson remains sidelined. Chigoziem Okonkwo (15%) is a high-risk, high-reward option this week as Tennessee takes on Dallas. Tyler Conklin (26%) has provided serviceable performances more often than not this season and should be a relatively safe option. If he’s back on the field against the lowly Falcons defense, he could provide the spike week you’re looking for. Juwan Johnson (18% rostered) was a touchdown machine for New Orleans before missing Weeks 12 and 13. But if you have the luxury of empty bench spots, I’d consider stashing Mack on the off chance he takes the lead role by Week 17. The most likely scenario is that Mack and Murray destroy each other’s fantasy value. However, Mack was impressive in his first action for the Broncos and looked more explosive than Latavius Murray. I’m not telling you to put your playoff hopes on Marlon Mack’s surgically-repaired Achilles tendon this week. Edwards is an excellent handcuff for Dobbins, but he can provide standalone value for the rest of the season.ĥ. Dobbins is back in the lead role, but Baltimore is going to run the ball a lot, especially while Lamar Jackson is sidelined. Gus Edwards, Baltimore – The Ravens face Cleveland, Atlanta, and Pittsburgh in the next three weeks. The arrival of Jameson Williams could give you pause, but I expect Detroit to bring Williams along slowly and not threaten Chark’s workload in Week 15.Ĥ. Chark, Detroit – The Lions’ offense is humming lately, and Chark has put together three solid weeks in a row. Hubbard has flex appeal in what projects to be a low-scoring affair in Charlotte.ģ. ![]() Chuba Hubbard, Carolina – Hubbard is still behind D’onta Foreman in the pecking order, but the Panthers should be able to stay hyper-focused on the run game in Week 15 against Pittsburgh. I prefer Collins if he’s healthy, but Chris Moore is widely available and can slot into the role again if Collins remains sidelined.Ģ. It seems likely that Brandin Cooks won’t play again for the Texans, and whoever operates as the WR1 in Houston has a chance to see a lot of targets against the Chiefs.

UVA and UVB rays are very damaging to the skin in various ways. They are also thought to cause most skin cancers. ![]() They can damage the DNA in skin cells directly, and are the main rays that cause sunburns. UVB rays have slightly more energy than UVA rays.UVA rays are mainly linked to long-term skin damage such as wrinkles, but they are also thought to play a role in some skin cancers. These rays can cause skin cells to age and can cause some indirect damage to cells’ DNA. UVA rays have the least energy among UV rays.Why should you be concerned about exposure to UV rays? First, it is important to note the two types of UV rays that reach us on Earth’s surface. Time spent in the car should also be considered for the same reasons. Therefore, if you spend the entire day at home but you are near windows, your skin is still being exposed to UV rays. However, one must consider that while windows block some UV rays, they are not blocked entirely. It is difficult for many people to understand why sunscreen would be needed if they aren’t planning to spend time outside. Either way, it is important to wear sunscreen daily, rain or shine.

Also, you have the ability to pour drinks, charge the customer for them, but never ring them up. Honesty – most people pay with cash when at the bar, and thus you will be handling a lot of money. Stamina – considering the fact that you will be standing for several hours on end, you will need to have the wind to carry you all the way through a busy day at the bar.

Patience – a requirement to become a bartender because you may encounter unruly customers. Within that GO, it states that we cant work at any business that.
