José Abreu has been a fixture in the Chicago White Sox lineup for nine seasons.

He was the American League Rookie of the Year in 2014 and the AL Most Valuable Player in 2020. He led the league in RBIs in 2019 and 2020.

And he almost never misses a game.

Abreu’s time with the organization might be winding down. The first baseman will be a free agent after this season.

“As I said before, I’m just thankful and loyal to (Sox Chairman) Jerry (Reinsdorf),” Abreu said through an interpreter when asked Tuesday about the uncertainty of finishing his career with the Sox. “He gave me the opportunity to play here and I appreciate that. I always will be grateful for that opportunity.

“Like I said, I am a White Sox. I’ll be a White Sox (on Wednesday). We’ll see.”

Could he imagine himself in a different uniform?

“I said before, I’ll be a White Sox until tomorrow,” Abreu said.

Did you know that an iron deficiency is the most widespread nutritional deficiency globally?

Sure, it is true….

It is described as obtaining a small stage of iron in your blood, and it can lead to anemia. The human physique desires iron for electrical power, but it also requires other vitamins to take in it.

Another school year comes to a close. School administrators and teachers look forward to the summer months. It is a time to unwind and try to get some personal things done. Let’s look at the summer months a little differently. Look at it as a time to recover and rediscover yourself.

If you find yourself lacking confidence at work, and you kick yourself for not speaking up more in meetings, you’re definitely not alone. 70% of people admit to regularly lacking confidence in themselves when it comes to their careers.

TAIPEI (Reuters) - China has destroyed a tacit agreement on military movements in the Taiwan Strait by crossing an unofficial "median line" running down the waterway, Defence Minister Chiu Kuo-cheng said on Wednesday.

While acknowledging the end of the tacit understanding on the median line, Chiu told Taiwan's parliament Taiwan would react if China crossed its "red line".

He did not say what Taiwan's "red line" was but suggested it included Chinese aircraft, including drones, flying into Taiwan's territory. He did not identify the median line as a "red line".

China, which views the democratically governed island as its own territory, mounted large-scale drills including firing missiles over Taipei in August to show its anger over a visit to Taiwan by U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Whilst in Western Australia I had the privilege of meeting Alec Duncan, of Child’s Play Music. We met in one of Alec’s favourite places: Naturescape in Perth. In the words of the website, “…it is a place for children to connect with nature and learn to appreciate the unique Western Australian environment. It is a place to explore, climb rocks and ropes, wade through creeks, build cubbies and get dirty.“

As a concept, I initially found it discomfiting. Do we really need to package nature and offer it as an attraction to families to make it something worth doing?

When evaluating price movement patterns, a weighted moving average can be beneficial for day traders. This indicator reacts faster to price changes than the simple moving average, which means it can detect a trend earlier. This indicator can be used alone or in combination with other technical tools to give you ideal trade signals.

A weighted moving average computes the average of an input value over a set of time intervals. The more recent data points have a higher weight than older ones. It smoothes out a data series to remove noise, making it easier to identify data trends. A weighted moving average is calculated by multiplying each input value by the sum of its weights over a specified number of time intervals.

The saying that one picture is worth a thousand words usually proves to be a mere cliche. Yet, the images of Hip-Hop icons Dr. Dre and Sean “Diddy” Combs working on music together for the time ever back in August, encapsulates a wealth of history. Those candid moments, which marked a studio session and collaboration decades overdue, were captured by Armen Keleshian, a 30-year-old Los Angeles-based photographer who’s love for Hip-Hop has taken him across the globe.

Born in the U.S., Keleshian and his family moved to Beirut, Lebanon when he was a child. The Armenian-American grew up in the Middle East, discovering his future career-path as a teenager after tinkering with a camera he found at home. Honing his craft while shooting at concert events for radio stations, Keleshian first made a name by shooting pop stars like Shakira and Evanescence before switching his focus to Hip-Hop.
