It was a stunning move, to say the least. Cespedes had hit in the third spot in Oakland’s order 37 times, in the cleanup spot 21 times and in the fifth spot 40 times. Suddenly, the right-handed power bat with 26 doubles, three triples and 17 home runs was gone. “Obviously, the first day it was unexpected for us,” third baseman Josh Donaldson told Sporting News. “But at the same time, we understand the game and we felt like we had the components to end up making it still a good situation for us....

The problem? It can cause your video doorbell to notify you of false motion detections and more. Considering most of us have battery-powered video doorbells, cutting down on false detections can really lengthen the time between charge cycles, bringing it closer to the fabled six months of use on a charge. However, the Ring Video Doorbell has an impressive 155-degree field of view that allows it to capture faces both above and below the camera at any given time, even when mounted at a much lower height....

While references to stories from ancient Greece often take center stage within Horizon Forbidden West, it’s far from the only mythology to make a prominent impact on the game. Its footprints tend to be slightly more subtle, but ancient Egyptian mythology has also clearly been a big influence on Guerrilla Games’ vision. So much so that fans of the PS4 and PS5 title might be surprised to learn just how deep the connection goes....

Louis van Gaal’s side are looking to make up for lost time after failing to qualify for Russia in 2018 and they have impressed in Qatar so far. The veteran coach has looked to blend exciting Eredivisie talents, with experienced heads, as the Dutch plot a path through the knockout stages. A clash with the USA in Al Rayyan will be their biggest test so far in the tournament and they will offer a proactive challenge to Gregg Berhalter’s side....

Specifically, I’d like to know the polarities (+ or -) of both the outside ring and the inner pin on a barrel DC jack. Also I have found an adapter that is 19 volts and 4.5 amps, but the monitor is 19v and 2.6 amps. I have been told that that a increase of 0.5 amps won’t damage the monitor but an almost 2 amp increase will damage monitor. Is this right?...

Self-contained composting toilets feature a toilet seat with a waste container permanently attached underneath it. Remote composting toilets have a composting site located separately, so the waste has to be moved. Batch composting toilets have multiple containers for waste, allowing users to rotate or switch between them. Continual process composting toilets have an extra-large container where the waste is collected. The compost is harvested from the bottom on an ongoing basis....

You might only need a pacemaker for a while, like when you’re healing from surgery. If you have a heart condition, you might need a pacemaker for life. This article discusses how pacemakers work, when they are used, how they are placed, and how to tell if there’s a problem with your pacemaker. How Pacemakers Work Pacemakers do not take over the work of the heart. Rather, a pacemaker helps regulate the timing and sequence of your heartbeat, as needed....

If you know how a projector works and the specs to look out for, it’ll be easier to choose a suitable projector for your needs. How Does a Projector Work? You know how you can cut up a small hole and put a flashlight inside it to reflect light on a wall that mimics the shape of the hole?...

Robin van Persie, Wayne Rooney, Danny Welbeck, Shinji Kagawa, Nick Powell, Will Keane, Angelo Henriquez and add Bebe into the mix as well. This roster of strikers is what one would call an embarrassment of riches. It gets further embarrassing when you add a Columbian by the name Ramadel Falcao, who has more than 100 goals to his credit over the last 3 years. Rumours mills are running riot with news that Manchester United are now 5/2 favourites by Sky Bet (slashed from 11/1) to sign the in-form and in-demand striker....

How to Set Up Facebook Portal Whichever version of Facebook Portal you pick up, you will go through the same set up process. Before you get started, think about where you want to set up your Portal. Some things to consider: You’ll want a flat, stable surface that you’ll be comfortable looking at. One of the main draws of the Facebook Portal is video chat, so you’ll want to have it in a place you spend a lot of time and feel comfortable with other people seeing....

The Ubuntu installer tools and instructions work on Ubuntu terminal commands, so if you want to give this a try, get yourself an Ubuntu-based system first. But installing the Preview is quite easy. This version, being a test version, is pre-loaded with contacts and social network notifications, but don’t let that overwhelm you. On the downside, web apps can only be previewed on the OS and you can’t even sync your e-mail, contacts and social accounts on the Nexus 7....

Russia gave the European Union (EU) an ultimatum earlier this month and said its Nord Stream 1 pipeline would not resume until sanctions against the country were lifted. EU leaders joined other nations in condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and issued several crippling sanctions against key individuals supported by the Kremlin as well as against the country itself. This week, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen hit out at Moscow and said it was “actively manipulating the gas market,” but insisted the continent would “diversify away from Russian fossil fuels....

One YouTuber has set out to show that there is a major difference between the two, showcasing footage from Fallout 3 and Fallout 4 side-by-side. The difference between the two is remarkable and it shows how far the graphics have come. Seen below, Arvuti highlights the differences between Fallout 3 and Fallout 4’s armor, people, monsters, and weapons. While Fallout 4 graphic mods have come out boosting the appearance even more, the base game is obviously superior to its predecessor in looks, lighting, and animations....

It was the secretary of the navy, Frank Knox, calling to inform him that the nation was under attack: The Japanese were bombing Pearl Harbor. In a long, ringing tone, the president shouted: “No!” The surprise attack on one of America’s most strategic naval bases shocked Roosevelt as well as the nation. It would turn out to be one of the worst military defeats in American history, killing 2,403 sailors, soldiers and civilians....

However, the Xbox free Games with Gold lineup for February 2021 shines a harsh spotlight on the service and serves as further evidence that it’s not really relevant anymore. The free Xbox Series X game for the February Games with Gold lineup is the critically-acclaimed Gears 5, a major Xbox console exclusive that, years ago, would’ve been a major “get” for the Games with Gold program. But Xbox Game Pass renders it completely irrelevant....

A great example of innovation came from Gen 7’s regional forms, which allowed Game Freak to revisit fan-favorite Pokemon from past games and tweak their designs in unique ways enough to make them almost entirely new species. On the other hand, an example of a lack of innovation is that Pokemon games almost never strayed from making pseudo-Legendary and Legendary Pokemon anything but Dragon-type. This is something that Game Freak pigeonholed itself into for a number of reasons, and unfortunately, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet don’t break this tradition but confirm it once more....

God of War Ragnarok reviews have indicated near-universal acclaim for Sony Santa Monica’s latest effort. A lot of praise has been aimed at the game’s graphics, story, and gameplay, with few finding much fault in the game at all. Not only were many critics impressed with the game’s main story, but they have also been impressed by God of War Ragnarok’s side quests, which may be the key area where Ragnarok manages to surpass its 2018 predecessor....

The town of Palm Beach, the billionaire’s playground where Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago is located, was no exception—though buyers in the area have much deeper pockets than the average aspiring homeowner in the U.S. “There are only so many homes on the island of Palm Beach,” Palm Beach realtor John Pinson told Newsweek. “In the high season, the town has a residential population of about 10,000 people. So it’s not very big, and it’s this availability factor that drives up prices there....

How Common Is Anal Cancer? Until recently, cervical cancer was thought to be the main cancer risk associated with HPV infection. Anal cancers and other genital cancers were thought to be relatively rare. However, although the overall anal cancer rate is still low, in certain populations the risk of anal cancer is actually quite high. For example, HIV-positive men who have sex with men (MSM) have been reported to have anal cancer rates that are very high....
