Top 9 Rarest White House China Pieces
Posted by RALEIGH DEGEER AMYX on Thu, May 25, 2017 @ 11:00 AM
Presidential dinnerware since the time of George Washington reflects the taste and culture of its day. Shapes, sizes, and decoration of the pieces vary considerably – dramatically in some cases – and every casual viewer and collector has their aesthetic favorites. But when it comes to identifying the rarest White House China, beauty has no bearing. Rarity is strictly a matter of numbers. The fewer pieces still in existence, the rarer they are.
Several Official White House China patterns were so popular with later Presidents, they were reordered instead of being replaced with a new design. The Abraham Lincoln Official White House China is a prominent example. Because so many pieces with this pattern were produced, there are more available to be collected, even today. Comparatively speaking, they are not rare, but Lincoln is Lincoln, thus in high demand.
We asked world renowned White House China collector Raleigh DeGeer Amyx which Presidential China collections are most rare. Here's how he ranked them:
LOVELY 1870 STATE DINNER PLATE FROM THE ULYSSES S. GRANT OFFICIAL WHITE HOUSE CHINA COLLECTION - HAVILAND AND COMPANY - PART OF THE RALEIGH DeGEER AMYX COLLECTION
SEE MORE WHITE HOUSE CHINA COLLECTIONS HERE
#9. Ulysses Grant
This 1879 Official White House China order consisted of more pieces – 587 – but no 1879 pieces were ever re-ordered, that bear a distinctive verso marking. There is a special marking on the 1879 order that does not appear on any of the following china order pieces, by any other subsequent Presidents.
UNIQUE HAND-PAINTED DESSERT PLATE FROM THE 1879 RUTHERFORD B. HAYES OFFICIAL WHITE HOUSE CHINA COLLECTION - DESIGNED BY THEODORE RUSSELL DAVIS - PART OF THE RALEIGH DeGEER AMYX COLLECTION
#8. Rutherford Hayes
President Hayes' original 562-piece White House China service is marked "1879" on the back. However, Haviland & Co. lost so much money producing this stunning china that they reissued it repeatedly for public sale, minus the 1879 date. Even a subsequent Presidential order to replenish White House supplies arrived without the 1879 mark. For this reason, pieces remaining from the original, dated order are deemed to be about five times as valuable as matching, undated 1879 pieces.
PRISTINE EXAMPLE OF A DESSERT PLATE FROM THE 1846 JAMES K. POLK OFFICIAL WHITE HOUSE CHINA COLLECTION - MANUFACTURED BY EDOUARD D. HONORE - PART OF THE RALEIGH DeGEER AMYX COLLECTION
#7. James K. Polk
The 1846 James K. Polk White House China was never re-ordered and bears no specfic markings that help identify it as Official White House China.
TIMELESS STATE FISH PLATE FROM THE 1903 THEODORE ROOSEVELT OFFICIAL WHITE HOUSE CHINA COLLECTION - MANUFACTURED BY WEDGWOOD - PART OF THE RALEIGH DeGEER AMYX COLLECTION
#6. Theodore Roosevelt
There were just 120 pieces in Theodore Roosevelt's original White House China order, and this pattern was never re-ordered. Not only are there no verso markings to indicate the pieces were Official White House China, the seal on the front rim is the seal of the United States, not the Presidential seal. This makes it even more likely subsequent owners would not have realized what they had. Mr. Amyx says, "pieces rarely appear on the market, perhaps every 5 or 10 years." One 9" fish plate from the Theodore Roosevelt Official White House China collection is part of the Raleigh DeGeer Amyx Collection.
EXTRAORDINALRILY RARE SERVING PIECE FROM THE JOHN QUINCY ADAMS OFFICIAL WHITE HOUSE CHINA COLLECTION - PART OF THE RALEIGH DeGEER AMYX COLLECTION
#5. John Quincy Adams
None of the John Quincy Adams White House China was ever re-ordered. Most of the original order was lost or broken. During the 1800s, most Presidential china orders were not marked as such, so they were often inherited by individuals who had no idea of their true provenance or value.
ELEGANT PLATE FROM THE 1853 FRANKLIN PIERCE OFFICIAL WHITE HOUSE CHINA COLLECTION - PART OF THE RALEIGH DeGEER AMYX COLLECTION
#4. Franklin Pierce
There were only 287 pieces in Franklin Pierce's 1853 White House China order, and they had no helpful verso markings. The pattern was never re-ordered. Mr. Amyx owns one pristine piece from of Pierce White House China, and says "he has seen only one other piece offered for sale in the last 30 years."
EXTREMELY RARE LOZENGES SERVICE DISHES FROM THE 1806 JAMES MADISON OFFICIAL WHITE HOUSE CHINA COLLECTION - MANUFACTURED BY NAST'S FACTORY PARIS - PART OF THE RALEIGH DeGEER AMYX COLLECTION
#3. James Madison
Prior to becoming President, James and Dolley Madison ordered a set of china that consisted of about 300 pieces. Following the War of 1812, the Madisons brought to The White House the china that they had used as Secretary of State. They used this service for dinners with foreign dignitaries, so it became Official White House China. Today, only 30 pieces remain, thanks to the fact that the British burned down the executive mansion and much of its contents during the Madison administration. Thirty pieces are accounted for – among them, 8 are in the White House collection, 4 are housed at the historic Madison home in Montpelier, and 5 Madison pieces are in the Raleigh DeGeer Amyx Collection.
PRISTINE DESSERT PLATE FROM THE 1820 JAMES MONROE OFFICIAL WHITE HOUSE CHINA COLLECTION - MANUFACTURED BY DAGOYT AND HONORE - PART OF THE RALEIGH DeGEER AMYX COLLECTION
#2. James Monroe
Similar to the John Quincy Adams White House China, no President after James Monroe ordered this same pattern, so only the pieces in Monroe's original order ever existed. James Monroe White House China is sought after in a major way.
BEAUTIFUL CHINESE EXPORT PORCELAIN PLATE FROM THE 1786 GEORGE WASHINGTON PRESIDENTIAL CHINA - CONSIDERED THE "HOLY GRAIL" OF WHITE HOUSE CHINA - PART OF THE RALEIGH DeGEER AMYX COLLECTION
#1. George Washington
Very few pieces of our first President's china still exist today. The dinnerware Washington used for official state occasions while President was his own personal china, used by him both before and after his Presidential service. Although there was no White House during the Washington Administration, this extraordinarily rare porcelain is still considered to be Official White House China. After the passing of both George and Martha Washington, the remaining china was moved several times – and not always gently. Not much survived. Specifically, a pristine George Washington White House China dinner plate has a value exceeding $80,000.

Theodore Roosevelt: election Campaigns Then and Right Now
Posted by RALEIGH DEGEER AMYX on Tue, Mar 08, 2016 @ 10:30 AM
THEODORE ROOSEVELT (1858-1919)
OUR 26TH PRESIDENT (1901-1909)
Teddy Roosevelt is one of our historically highly-rated, most well-known, and beloved American presidents. Stories about him in and out of the White House abound. Since we're now in the midst of another hotly-contested presidential election season, it is interesting to look back at how TR, as he preferred to be called, approached his own campaigns. Was electioneering really so different 100+ years ago?
In a word - NO. Remove modern technology from the equation, and you find some surprising – and some humorous – similarities. Teddy Roosevelt first campaigned in 1900, as running mate to Republican presidential nominee William McKinley. He couldn't have known he would actually become our 26th president shortly thereafter, when McKinley was assassinated. He worked so hard in support of McKinley, one columnist reportedly said, "Tis Teddy alone that's running, an' he ain't a running, he's gallopin'."

SEE MORE OFFICIAL WHITE HOUSE CHINA HERE.
Name calling – a hallmark of current campaigning – was prevalent back then, too. Mark Hanna, a political rival within TR's own Republican Party, called Teddy "that damned cowboy." During the 1904 presidential election, the Democrats billed themselves as the "sane and safe choice." Conversely, they described Roosevelt's administration as "spasmodic, erratic, sensational, spectacular and arbitrary."
CAMPAIGN FINANCE. Teddy raised more than $2 million from wealthy industrialists and Wall Street financiers like J.P. Morgan. Reportedly this group said they would rather see an "unpredictable head of a predictable party" in the White House than a "predictable head of an unpredictable party."
PRESIDENT THEODORE ROOSEVELT'S ORNATELY CRAFTED
1902 STERLING SILVER CASE, MONOGRAMMED "TR 1902" - PART OF THE RALEIGH DeGEER AMYX COLLECTION.
THE ART OF EXPEDIENT DEAL-MAKING. To secure support from more conservative Republicans, Teddy made a trade. He promised to downplay his progressive domestic agenda if they would allow him to follow his own lead in foreign affairs. When he used his "bully pulpit" to promote regulation of big business, the conservatives insisted that TR tone it down. However, as a campaign tactic shortly before the 1904 Republican convention, Roosevelt defiantly issued an executive order giving pensions to all veterans between 62-67 years old.
Ironically, it was deal-making that caused Teddy to split from the Republicans and form his own Progressive Party. Having decided to make another run for the White House against his former protégé William H. Taft, Roosevelt arrived at the convention with more delegates than Taft. But Taft's people refused to recognize their credentials. Teddy was irate and walked out, along with his followers. He later told them at their own convention, "We stand at Armageddon, and we battle for the Lord."
THEODORE ROOSEVELT'S EXQUISITE
STERLING SILVER TEA CADDY - PART OF THE RALEIGH DeGEER AMYX COLLECTION.
Even key platform issues haven't changed much. Roosevelt campaigned for economic opportunity and political justice, a national health service and a minimum wage for women. Woodrow Wilson, running against Teddy in 1912, campaigned for corporate campaign spending limits and banking and currency reform.
ONE MAJOR DIFFERENCE. Although Teddy had campaigned long and hard on behalf of McKinley, he did not actively participate in his own campaign to become president in 1904. In those days, presidential candidates did not do that. It's difficult to imagine today's nominees sitting on the sidelines while their respective vice-presidential candidates did all the work to win over voters.

ONE OF AMERICA'S GREATEST PRESIDENTS - Theodore Roosevelt 1858 –1919
Posted by RALEIGH DEGEER AMYX on Thu, Jan 23, 2014 @ 08:01 AM
ONE OF AMERICA'S MOST COMPETENT PRESIDENTS THEODORE ROOSEVELT
Teddy Roosevelt had overcome many difficult circumstances in his lifetime. When President McKinley was assassinated in September of 1901, he felt he was well-prepared for the challenges he would face as the nation's commander in chief.
Although young TR had been raised by a wealthy, well-connected family in New York, he was personally burdened with poor health. Because he suffered from asthma, he did not attend school but was instead educated at home by tutors and his parents. This allowed him to delve deep into studies of the natural world. He was reported to have had a photographic memory and a great love for books. In fact, he would later author more than 35 books himself.
A YOUTHFUL AND DETERMINDED THEODORE ROOSEVELT AT HARVARD UNIVERSITY
His passion for nature led him to Harvard University, where he studied biology. He graduated magna cum laude in 1880. Although he entered Columbia Law School, he left to pursue a post with the New York Assembly. He was elected to represent the New York County 21st District from 1881 to 1884. Coincidently, Columbia awarded him a law degree in 2008 posthumously, as a member of the class of 1882. In 1901, Yale University awarded Roosevelt an honorary doctorate in law.
On his 22nd birthday, Roosevelt married Alice Hathaway Lee. Their daughter Alice Lee Roosevelt was born in February of 1884. Tragically, Roosevelt's wife passed away two days later on Valentine's Day exactly 4 years after they had publicly announced their engagement. Her illness had been masked by her pregnancy and had advanced to kidney failure. On the same day, in the same home Roosevelt's mother passed away from Typhoid fever.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT - ROUGH RIDER OF SAN JUAN HILL
It is hard to imagine how anyone could cope with such tragic circumstances especially considering that Roosevelt had formerly lost his father in 1878 while studying at Harvard. He abandoned his political ambitions for the moment and left his newborn daughter, Alice Roosevelt, in the care of his sister, Anna Roosevelt. He spent the following years living as a rancher in the Dakota badlands. Perhaps gaining first-hand experience of the great outdoors assisted him in regaining his internal motivation and move past this difficult period.
In 1885 T.R. built a home on Long Island, New York. On a visit to London in early December of 1886, Roosevelt married Edith Kermit Carow whom he had known since childhood. Together they raised Roosevelt's daughter Alice Lee Roosevelt, and five children of their own: Theodore "Ted" Roosevelt III, Kermit Roosevelt, Ethel Carow Roosevelt, Archibald Bulloch "Archie" Roosevelt, and Quentin Roosevelt.
PRESIDENT THEODORE ROOSEVELT AND HIS HIGHLY ENERGIZED FAMILY- MINUS ALICE ROOSEVELT
Roosevelt began working for the federal government and served in the US Civil Service Commission from 1888 to 1895. In 1895, he became president of the board of New York City Police Commissioners. Roosevelt was very successful in his efforts to reform the police department and providing them with proper support. Having established his reputation in these two roles, President William McKinley appointed Roosevelt Assistant Secretary of the Navy in 1897 to boost the limited effectiveness of the sitting Secretary of the Navy.
In 1898, at the beginning of the Spanish-American War, Roosevelt resigned from the Department of the Navy to form the First U.S. Volunteer Cavalry Regiment (a.k.a. the Rough Riders) who fought in Cuba. In 2001, Roosevelt was awarded the Medal of Honor posthumously for "For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty" at San Juan Hill in 1898. He was the only President of the United States to be awarded America's highest military honor to date.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT AS A ROUGH RIDER DURING THE 1898 SPANISH AMERICAN WAR
After returning to the U.S. a war hero, Roosevelt was able to capture the popular vote in the New York gubernatorial election of 1898. This victory was followed by his nomination for vice president in President William McKinley's reelection campaign after the death of Vice President Garret Hobart.
As fate would have it, on September 6, 1901, President McKinley was shot and, at the young age of 42, Theodore Roosevelt became the youngest President in US history. Building on the momentum he had established in previous government roles, Roosevelt was determined to be an active reformer, providing citizens with a "Square Deal" under his leadership. He is memorialized for appointing 75 federal judges including 3 Supreme Court judges. In 1906 he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for negotiating an end to the Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905). He chose not to run for another term in 1908, and instead spent more than a year on expedition in Africa.
THE IRREPRESSIBLE THEODORE ROOSEVELT ON SAFARI
Although Roosevelt survived an assignation attempt in 1912, his trip to the Amazon jungle in 1913-1914 was said to have led to a worsining his health. A minor leg wound turned into tropical fever that caused delirium and a loss of more than 50 pounds. He never fully regained his strength and stamina. In 1919, at the aage of only 61, T.R. died in his sleep at home. He was survived by his sisters Corinne and Anne, his wife Edith, five children and eight grandchildren. His son Quentin had been lost at war in 1918.

The President kept his personal property, as illustrated above,within the White House living quarters until the Roosevelts permanently left, in 1909. At that time, it was presented to a favored White House Employee as a Gesture of Appreciation. When properly brought to the polished state of immaculate and unblemished appearance, T.R's Ornate Silver Frame brings on even more Stunning clarity.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT - IN 1898 - AS A "ROUGH RIDER"
The 1898 Rough Rider Venture into Cuba, during the Spanish American war, was perhaps, singularly the most Important Event in Theodore Roosevelt's Life. Overwhelming Publicity was garnished from his role as a Rough Rider and it was a Major reason why he was elected Governor of New York. And if he had not been the young Governor of New York, T.R. would not have been selected as Vice-President under William McKinley. And not long after, T.R. was to become an Accidental President, when President McKinley was Assassinated in 1901. A few years later he was Elected President, in his own right, and Theodore Roosevelt's exploits, as well as accomplishments, have been carefully attested to by Historians over time.
ALWAYS PHOTOGENIC - PRESIDENT THEODORE ROOSEVELT
There was a Tremendous amount of Publicity resulting from the Rough Rider conflict during the 1898 Spanish-American war and the Gallantry of the future President was extensively covered by the Press. At the time of the adventure, there was an Official Recommendation for the Congressional Medal of Honor. This Distinction of Bravery ultimately arrived on the desk of a Politically Conflicting - Secretary of War. The Secretary then refused to sign off on this Major Honor. Many years of ensuing debate followed; with The Congressional Medal of Honor, the Epitome of Heroic Distinction, eventually being Approved and Awarded by President William Jefferson Clinton in 2001.
THE MEDAL OF HONOR - AS AWARDED TO THEODORE ROOSEVELT
Currently this Important Personal Relic, that once belonged to Theodore Roosevelt, is in The Collection of Raleigh DeGeer Amyx (a.k.a.) The American Heritage Collection.

WHITE HOUSE CHINA - SERVICE PLATE OF WOODROW WILSON FINALLY LOCATED
Posted by RALEIGH DEGEER AMYX on Wed, Jan 26, 2011 @ 11:01 AM
Recently, a very select number of pieces of Official White House China have been located. In 1918, President Woodrow Wilson; in conjunction with the First Lady, selected and acquired, perhaps one of the Top 5 most popular examples of White House China. The Wilson pieces represent, Executive Mansion Elegance.....at its total best.
STUNNING OFFICIAL 1918 WHITE HOUSE CHINA OF PRESIDENT WOODROW WILSON
It pleases us to share an example of this elegance. The 1918 Wilson State Dinner Service Plates came in two sizes (11.125" and 11.75"). The Woodrow Wilson China was manufactured by Lenox, of Trenton, New Jersey. For the first time, the White House had its Official China manufactured in the United States of America. By 1918, it had been fifteen years since any President or First Lady had ordered State Service; and that was when it was purchased by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1903.
THIS GILT PRESIDENTIAL ARMS APPEARS IN THE CENTER OF SERVICE PLATE OF PRESIDENT WOODROW WILSON
As it turned out the Wilson service was later received by other Administrations in a totally positive vein. In fact, Warren G. Harding, Calvin Coolidge, Herbert Hoover and even William Jefferson Clinton ordered additional pieces of this exact same design. They felt it important to update this elegant pattern, in order to serve a larger number of White House guests, as well is to replace pieces due to chips or breakage over a period of many years.
WOODROW WILSON AND EDITH GALT WILSON AT WORK IN THE WHITE HOUSE
The stunning piece featured above is now in the Collection of Raleigh DeGeer Amyx. His Official White House China Collection now ranks in the Top 2 privately held collections in the world. Other items in The American Heritage Collection AKA The Raleigh DeGeer Amyx Collection, have previously been loaned to Presidential Libraries as well as to non-profit entities of note.

Grimm v. FD Borkholder Co., Inc.
454 N.E.2d 84 (1983)
James L. GRIMM & Mary H. Grimm, Appellants (Defendants below), v. F.D. BORKHOLDER CO., INC., d/b/a Borkholder Buildings, Nappanee, Indiana, Appellee (Plaintiff below).
No. 4-982A268.
Court of Appeals of Indiana, Fourth District.
*85 Edgar A. Grimm, J. Frank Stewart, Grimm & Grimm P.C., Auburn, for appellants.
Max A. Myers, Fort Wayne, for appellee.
CONOVER, Presiding Judge.
James L. and Mary H. Grimm (Grimms) brought this action against F.D. Borkholder Co., Inc., (Borkholder) alleging breach of express and implied warranties, negligence and fraud. The trial court entered summary judgment for Borkholder.
We affirm.
A single issue is dispositive of this appeal:
Whether the release executed by the Grimms barred their action as a matter of law.
On August 24, 1977, the Grimms entered into a contract with Borkholder for construction of a grain storage building. The contract provided the building would hold 22,044 bushels of shelled corn when filled. The building was to be completed by September 30, 1977, at a cost of $18,900.
The building was not completed until about November 12. Borkholder then agreed to reduce the price if the Grimms would agree not to pursue their judicial remedies for late completion. The Grimms agreed, and executed a release in exchange for the reduction in price. The release stated:
[T]he undersigned does hereby release and forever discharge the said F.D. Borkholder & Co., Inc., from all claims and causes of action the undersigned now has or hereafter may have concerning the contract which is attached hereto... .
The Grimms later discovered the building did not hold the amount of grain specified in the contract, and it had structural defects.
DISCUSSION AND DECISION[1] I. Standard of Review
Under Ind.Rules of Procedure, Trial Rule 56, summary judgment is appropriate only where there are no issues of material fact and the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Perry *86 v. NIPSCO, (1982) Ind. App., 433 N.E.2d 44, 46. A fact is material if its resolution is decisive of the action or a relevant secondary issue. Lee v. Weston, (1980) Ind. App., 402 N.E.2d 23, 24. A factual issue is genuine if it is not capable of being conclusively foreclosed by reference to undisputed facts. Stuteville v. Downing, (1979) Ind. App., 391 N.E.2d 629, 631.
Summary judgment may not be used as a substitute for trial to resolve factual disputes. Clipp v. Weaver, (1983) Ind., 451 N.E.2d 1092 citing Podgorny v. Great Central Insurance Co., (1974) 160 Ind. App. 244, 311 N.E.2d 640. Even if the trial court believes the nonmoving party will not be successful at trial, where material facts conflict or conflicting inferences are possible from undisputed facts, summary judgment should not be entered. English Coal Co., Inc. v. Durcholz, (1981) Ind. App., 422 N.E.2d 302, 307. The trial court, and this one on appeal, construe all materials and resolve all doubts concerning the existence of a genuine dispute in favor of the nonmoving party. Moll v. South Central Solar Systems, Inc., (1981) Ind. App., 419 N.E.2d 154, 159.[2]
II. The Release[3]
The Grimms finally argue they only intended to release Borkholder from claims stemming from late completion of the building, such intent is a question for the trier of fact, and thus, summary judgment was inappropriate. Borkholder argues the release was unambiguous, and barred this action as a matter of law.
We agree with Borkholder.
The Grimms rely on Wecker v. Kilmer, (1973) 260 Ind. 198, 294 N.E.2d 132. That case, which reached the court as a certified question from the U.S. Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, involved a plaintiff whose injuries stemming from an automobile accident were allegedly aggravated during treatment by the defendant, a physician. The physician argued a release to the other driver barred the plaintiff's claim against him.
Justice Hunter, writing for a unanimous court, held parol evidence should be admitted to determine the effect of the release. This determination was to be based on a two part test: (1) whether the injured party had received full satisfaction, and (2) whether the parties intended the release to be in full satisfaction of the injured party's claim, thus releasing all successive tortfeasors from liability. Id., 260 Ind. at 203, 294 N.E.2d at 135 (emphasis in original).
However, the court has subsequently limited Wecker to cases presenting similar facts. In Bellew v. Byers, (1979) 178 Ind. App. 451, 396 N.E.2d 335, the plaintiffs had been injured in a collision involving two other vehicles, one belonging to the Indiana National Guard. The plaintiffs executed a general release to the civilian driver, and then brought an action against the State. The supreme court, in an opinion by Givan, C.J., held the general release executed to the civilian driver barred the claim against the State as a matter of law. Although the plaintiffs argued parol evidence should be introduced to determine their intent in executing the releases, the court held Wecker is applicable only in cases where there are independent and successive tortfeasors. Bellew, 396 N.E.2d at 337. Accord, Cooper v. Robert Hall Clothes, (1979) 271 Ind. 63, 390 N.E.2d 155, 158.
After Bellew and Cooper, most decisions by this court have construed release agreements *87 as a matter of law. See, e.g., State v. Totty, (1981) Ind. App., 423 N.E.2d 637, 640-42; Moll v. South Central Solar Systems, Inc., supra, 419 N.E.2d at 159-60; Kincaid v. Lazar, (1980) Ind. App., 405 N.E.2d 615, 619-20; Atwood v. Prairie Village, Inc., (1980) Ind. App., 401 N.E.2d 97, 102; Rose v. Rose, (1979) 179 Ind. App. 299, 385 N.E.2d 458, 459-60. Cf., State v. Ingram, (1980) Ind. App., 399 N.E.2d 808, 811 (loan receipt agreement), rev'd on other grounds, (1981) Ind., 427 N.E.2d 444; Lazarrus v. Employers Mutual Casualty Co., (1977) 173 Ind. App. 452, 455, 364 N.E.2d 140, 142.
Judge Garrard's recent opinion in Indiana Bell Telephone Co., Inc. v. Mygrant, (1982) Ind. App., 441 N.E.2d 481 (trans. pending) is distinguishable. That case arose from an automobile accident, where the plaintiff executed a general release after receiving compensation for property damage, but only later discovered he had suffered permanent injuries.
The Mygrant opinion contrasted the interests involved in personal injury actions with those involved in commercial disputes. Although in commercial disputes the "question of mutual assent is resolved by objective standards according to the manifestation (usually by words) of the parties' intention," id., 441 N.E.2d at 486, the Mygrant court believed a more liberal rule applies where the existence of personal injuries may not have been known when the release was executed. The opinion outlined thirteen factors to be considered in determining the validity and extent of a release in such cases. Id., 441 N.E.2d at 486-87. Judge Hoffman dissented, arguing there was no support in the record for the contention the parties intended to release only property damage claims. Id., 441 N.E.2d at 488-89.
This case involves a commercial contract, not latent personal injuries. The release is unambiguous. The Grimms fully released all their claims against Borkholder as a matter of law.
MILLER and YOUNG, JJ., concur.
[1] We note the parties' briefs fail to include a verbatim statement of the judgment, as required by Ind.Rules of Procedure, Appellate Rule 8.3(A)(4) and 8.3(B). This court will waive issues or dismiss appeals when parties commit flagrant violations of the rules of appellate procedure, but will reach the merits where violations are comparatively minor. We choose to address the merits in this appeal, cf., Carmichael v. Silbert, (1981) Ind. App., 422 N.E.2d 1330, 1332.
We further note appellants' briefs on appeal incorrectly designate their status below. They were "plaintiffs" there, not "defendants." A minor inconvenience for our purposes, but an inconvenience nevertheless.
[2] The Grimms state their first and second issue in terms of the trial court abusing its "discretion" in granting summary judgment. We agree with Borkholder that T.R. 56 does not allow exercise of judicial "discretion". The trial court may only grant summary judgment in cases satisfying the rule's criteria.
[3] The Grimms also argue the trial court erred by considering an affidavit supporting the motion for summary judgment submitted by Borkholder the day of hearing. Among other things this affidavit included a text of the release signed by Grimms. We need not address that issue because the release text previously was included in Borkholder's answer as an affirmative defense, and in materials presented by Grimm in opposition to the motion for summary judgment. Thus, the release was properly before the trial court when it considered the motion. Accordingly, any error in admitting Borkholder's affidavit was harmless.

Why No Time to Die's biggest twist doesn't work as well as it should
Bond 25's controversial climax is daring but ends up achieving the opposite effect than was intended. **Contains spoilers**
By Morgan Jeffery
Published: Wednesday, 6th October 2021 at 9:00 am
"James Bond will return." It's rare for a work of fiction to dramatically kill off its protagonist only to shortly afterward promise their resurrection in a future outing, but that's exactly what happens at the climax of No Time to Die, the 25th Bond film and the final outing for Daniel Craig as Ian Fleming's agent 007.
Back when the rumours first began to swirl about Bond's demise in the upcoming film, I'll admit I dismissed them out of hand. As a lifelong fan of the franchise, I balked at the very notion. You can't kill James Bond. (In fact, until Craig's tenure, it was a rare occurrence for the character to so much as sustain a bullet wound.)
But it has to be said, in context, as played in the final movie, killing James Bond works and it works beautifully. It's a fitting end for Craig's interpretation of 007 – tragic yet heroic – with pitch-perfect performances from the man himself and Léa Seydoux as Bond's beloved Madeleine Swann (though it was actually the restrained reaction of Ben Whishaw's Q, taking a deep breath and fighting back tears, that actually almost broke my own resolve).
Once you've seen it, it's sort of difficult to imagine how else the Craig era could've ended – just having the tortured spy ride off into the sunset with Madeleine (again), this time with little Mathilde (Lisa-Dorah Sonnet) in tow, wouldn't have been anywhere near as satisfying. Let him go out all guns – or rather missiles – blazing.
But for all their faultless execution, these scenes don't quite pack the punch they should. Why? Those four little words: "James Bond will return."
If this were not merely Craig's final film in the franchise but the final one ever, then Bond going out in a blaze of glory, saving the world from imminent destruction, would make for a fitting end. But this isn't the end – not really. The character's durability is in this instance a weakness – yes, we might've seen the last of Craig as Bond and series producer Barbara Broccoli has promised there'll be a suitable period of mourning, but it won't be all that long before somebody else – Tom Hardy or Regé-Jean Page or in all likelihood someone brilliant most of us would never have thought of – will be strapping on that tux and swilling vodka martinis.
MGM/EON
There's an argument to be made that killing Craig's Bond at least ups the dramatic stakes for future instalments. Previously, 007 was untouchable, indestructible – we always knew he'd save the day, get the girl and emerge more-or-less unscathed. Now, not only can James Bond bleed, he can die. They went there once, they could do it again. That possibility will always be in the back of our minds when 007 takes on his latest fiendish nemesis and aims to thwart his wicked schemes.
But if we always know that the character – in some form, wearing some face – persists, does any of that even matter? No Time to Die seems to suggest it doesn't, obliterating our hero then promising his revival mere minutes later. The franchise will reboot and he'll miraculously be restored to life. Ironically, by killing Bond, the franchise has proven his invincibility beyond question. Now, even death can't stop him.
Yes, James Bond can die. But he'll always, always return.

Fragments Of AA History, The Washingtonians, January 1991
Fragments Of AA History
Copyright © The A.A. Grapevine, Inc., January 1991
ON Thursday evening, April 2, 1840, six drinking buddies gathered, as was their daily customs at Chase's Tavern in Baltimore. A well-known temperance speaker was lecturing that night, and four of them thought it would be a good joke to go and hear him. As they discussed the lecture later that evening, one of them proposed (still not quite seriously that they form a total abstinence society, and on Sunday, April 5, while strolling and drinking, the six men did make a decision "to drink no more of the poisonous draft, forever."
Each of the six agreed to bring a man to the next meeting, and they wrote and signed a pledge not to "drink any spiritous or malt liquors, wine or cider." The name Washington Temperance Society was chosen in honor of George Washington.
The Society continued to meet for a time in Chase's Tavern, but when the owner's wife objected to the loss of good customers, they switched to the home of one of the members, and finally rented a hall. In November, they held a public meeting which, with subsequent monthly meetings, proved such a success that by their first anniversary, the Baltimore Washingtonians counted "about 1,000 reformed drunkards and 5,000 other members and friends in the parade to celebrate the occasion."
The Washingtonians were zealous in carrying their message of hope beyond Baltimore. Several leaders turned out to be powerful orators who traveled widely, speaking to large crowds, and "by May 1842 the movement had penetrated every major area of the country and was going particularly strong in central New York and New England."
At its peak, the Society's membership was estimated at anywhere from one to six million, of whom perhaps 100,000 to 600,000 were sober drunks. (One difficulty is the terminology – the Society claimed to have sobered up everything from "confirmed drunkards" to "hard drinkers often drunken" to "sots" to "tipplers in a fair way to become sots," and the distinctions were never too clear.) Others who joined up were friends and families (even very young children), as well as liquor dealers and tavern owners.
Abraham Lincoln (according to the February 1953 Grapevine) was "the foremost member of the Springfield, Illinois, Washingtonians. He had never taken whisky, but he had seen his business partner … overcome by it." And the December 1948 Grapevine describes how "in Dedham, Mass., a Mr. Thompson proved himself such an eloquent speaker that the entire town joined. The leading liquor merchant gave up his business, signed the pledge, and was made President of the village society" and poured his entire stock of liquor on the ground.
Formation of the Washingtonians was tied in many ways to the temperance movement, which had been gaining strength since 1825, but was beginning to lose momentum. At first, the Washingtonians were notable for their differences. Unlike temperance advocates, who considered the drunk a hopeless case (Justin Edwards said in 1822, "Keep the temperate people temperate; the drunkards will soon die, and the land will be free"), the Washingtonians treated drunks with love and won them over with "moral suasion." An 1842 document gave directions for organizing a Washingtonian Society, which included "Declaring that love and kindness and moral suasion are your only principles and measures."
Accounts of the early Washingtonians are in some ways remarkably similar to descriptions of AA meetings. The Washingtonians were the first to insist on the recounting of personal experience in their meetings (apparently this practice began as a pragmatic measure, when public meetings became popular and the Society's leaders had to think up a way to keep them interesting). In January 1949, Richard Ewell Brown wrote in the Grapevine: "The Washingtonian charter provided that only ex-drunks could address the meetings. Thus the 'benefits of experience spoken in burning words from the heart' were made available for all to hear. . . Debates, lectures and speeches were definitely out, and matters of business were limited to 'as few remarks as possible.' Politics and religion were both taboo as topics of discussion."
Brown went on to say: "Every effort was made to prevent the society from encroaching on anyone's prejudices, so that all people would feel free to join the organization. One purpose and one purpose only, was held in mind: to rescue men from the toils of drink." Another aspect was simplicity: "Responsibility was divided equally… and everyone was kept busy doing missionary work, bringing new members to the weekly meetings and helping old members who had slipped back into their former habits."
Yet by 1848, the Washingtonian movement had "destroyed itself completely and dropped out of sight. With it went the hope it had held out for thousands of drunks of that day," and the only tangible evidence remaining was its Home for the Fallen in Boston.
How did it happen? The similarities between Alcoholics Anonymous and the Washingtonians are too clear to be overlooked: alcoholics helping each other, weekly meetings, sharing of experiences, and constant availability of fellowship with the group or its members, reliance on a Higher Power, and total abstinence from alcohol. Why is AA celebrating 55 years of growth, while its nineteenth century forerunner fell apart within only a few years? Most historians are agreed on the reasons: For one, the Washingtonians had no sustained program of recovery comparable to AA's Twelve Steps. But the real key to their self-destruction lie in the lack of any guiding principles like those incorporated in AA's Twelve Traditions. The Washingtonian movement "met its Waterloo in the conflicting aims of its members.
Affiliation with outside enterprises; public controversy: From the beginning, the Washingtonians were closely allied with the temperance movement, and outside of Baltimore, the early "missionaries" were "invariably sponsored by temperance organizations." Temperance leaders looked upon the Washingtonians as a means of "sparking" their cause, and in the end, this became the chief interest of the Washingtonian leaders themselves. In many places, Washingtonians spoke in churches, and some came into conflict with the beliefs of religious entities. "Nothing can divide groups more quickly …than religious or political controversy. Strong efforts were made in the Washingtonian movement to minimize sectarian, theological and political differences, but the movement did not avoid attracting to itself the hostile emotions generated by these conflicts … it was still caught in all the controversy to which the temperance cause had become liable.'
Singleness of purpose; membership requirements: Formed for the purpose of helping drunks, a Society whose membership encompassed alcoholics, their families, and nonalcoholics of many types could not provide that vital ingredient of AA's success: identification. "The nonalcoholic member soon grew tired of listening to an endless chain of ex-drunks expatiate on an experience that, in the final analysis, had no meaning for anyone but another alcoholic." The movement's founding aim, helping drunks, "became an increasingly secondary interest of those whose primary interest was the furtherance of the temperance cause . . . And as fewer and fewer men were reclaimed, the last distinctive features of the Washingtonian movement dropped out of sight."
Anonymity – In his discussion of AA and the Washingtonians, Milton Maxwell comments: "A comparison with the Washingtonian experience underscores the sheer survival value of the principle of anonymity in Alcoholics Anonymous. At the height of his popularity, John B. Gough [one of the most prominent of the Washingtonian missionaries] either 'slipped' or was tricked by his enemies into a drunken relapse. At any rate, the opponents of the Washingtonian movement seized upon this lapse with glee and made the most of it to hurt Gough and the movement. This must have happened frequently to less widely known … Washingtonians. Public confidence in the movement was impaired. Anonymity protects the reputation of AA from public criticism
"Equally important, anonymity keeps the groups from exploiting prominent names for the sake of group prestige; and it keeps individual members from exploiting their AA connection for personal prestige or fame. This encourages humility and the placing of principles before personalities."
Bill W. cited the experience of the Washingtonians in a number of his writings and he considered them both a forerunner of AA and an object lesson for the Fellowships future.
In an article in the August 1945 Grapevine, he reflected on the lessons of the movement and emphasized the importance of being "strong enough and single-purposed enough from within" to be rightly related to the world: "We are sure that if the original Washingtonians could return to this planet they would be glad to see us learning from their mistakes… Had we lived in their day we might have made the same errors. Perhaps we are beginning to make same of them now"

[Here's another letter I published on AfricanCrisis. This is hand written letter by Nelson Mandela to General Constant Viljoen in 1993. Constand Viljoen is an important character. In 1994, some whites were preparing for a race war. Constand Viljoen was the most famous of our generals and many white men were prepared to go to war on his orders.
But at the last moment Viljoen pulled out and formed the political party the VF, the Freedom Front (Afrikaans: Vryheid's Front).
I checked and the signature of Nelson Mandela is genuine. Also the address this letter is from is Shell house. Shell house used to belong to the international oil company Shell! And the ANC (African National Congress) got hold of it. So that address is valid.
Interestingly on AfricanCrisis I had some creepy run ins with the "ANC Intelligence Department" which was located at Shell house. That is a story I still want to tell.
Former State President PW Botha told me that he thought Viljoen made a mistake in creating the VF. He had given him different advice. Viljoen walked out of parliament seething after wasting 7 years of his time in the South African parliament. Nelson Mandela had lied to him and strung him along and wasted his time. This is what white people everywhere must be aware of … that the Jews and blacks know the games of how to waste your time and misdirect you. So Mandela basically strung him along and lied to him and it worked.

Catching the tail end of the month here after a whirlwind trip - no, not to Bangladesh - to Legoland, which I must say was amazing. More amazing still, I didn't take my computer and I did barely any work. Guess what - the computer didn't pine without me and the world didn't end. A timely reminder!
Back in January, I decided that I had to get back into the writing groove. After all, five years is probably long enough to hide behind a PhD and use it as an excuse for not actually writing anything else... So I set myself the task of entering a few short story competitions and submitting the novel for any relevant awards.
Nobody has (yet) fallen on the novel and deemed it the next best whatever, but I'm delighted to say I've had some mentions for the short stories - look away now if you want to avoid shameless boasting; I never usually win things so I'm making the most of my moment!
And you never know, there might be a third time lucky - but more about that next time. Hopefully. The best thing is, that it's all reminded me how much I enjoy writing for it's own sake, and that I will do it anyway, prizes or not!
Finally, if you're looking for a great read from a real, proper writer, check out Corrie Jackson's Breaking Dead. It's a crime thriller set in the midst of London Fashion Week and the world of modelling. The eBook is currently 98p and there's a paperback due out later in the year.
Thanks,Katie - and congratulations you, on the novella and short story publications!
Thanks, Wendy! Likewise with the novel and all your magazine stories.
I wish! The first step would be to send the novel out... Thanks, Claire.
Congrats on your wins, thats fantastic anne. Good luck with the next one and all your writing. Take care. Katie.

An important push to use Blockchain to link the development of autonomous vehicles on an open source network

" There is no central administrator who approves transactions, no intermediary connects participants to the network (for example, a charging station to with a vehicle), "said John Frazer, communications manager of DAV in an e-mail. & nbsp; " Instead, it is vehicles that communicate with charging stations or other infrastructure providers. Or, if several companies have their own fleets of vehicles going on board, they can use the infrastructure on the network without interfering with each other, which is beneficial for vehicle suppliers, as they no longer need to develop their own infrastructure. for the fleet but can rather join the network and use the services already existing within the network. "
The secret sauce of the non-profit efforts based in Switzerland is creating the DAV network using the blockchain technology of Wikipedia in transactions where instead of a series of transactions all maintained and managed by a single financial institution, the participants in these transactions maintain their own records, communicating directly with each other.The Blockchain first entered awareness as a platform for Bitcoin cryptocurrency. & nbsp; DAV's encrypted currency of the kingdom is called DAV Token

Happy Monday, y'all! How amazing was the weather here in Georgia yesterday? It had me SO excited for spring and all the spring things to wear. I also made some little spring refreshes to my home over the weekend. I love changing things like pillows and accessories to make my house feel lighter, brighter and cleaner. Out with the dark winter-y accents, in with the light and airy details! One of my favorite ways to change the look of a room in my house is by switching out the pillows; it's an easy, cost-effective solution. While I love finding pillows at places like HomeGoods, you can't always find the exact color, quantity, or quality you're looking for. That's when I take to Etsy! I have been following Aurelia on Etsy and Instagram for some time now because she uses the coolest designer fabrics. It's like buying designer pillows at a fraction of what you'd pay in a high-end retail store!
I bought this new rug a few months ago and love the navy and blush tones in it. I decided to play on those colors in the accents in my living room, so when I found these blush Hill Brown Macau Fret pillows and navy Brunschwig & Fils pillows I knew they'd be perfect! The quality is great and the fabric is sturdy.
2. Head to my recent photo and comment with which room or space you'd use these beauties in, AND tag THREE (3) friends!

This must be a dizzying time in the Williamson family. It won't be long before they have a new member, the only one capable of distracting their father from taking the bat and defeating the world.
New Zealand expect lost Kane Williamson at some point as she prepared for the birth of her child. And even though it seems little baby W will let Daddy play one more game, many things have changed.

There is also the potential for celebration on the pitch. A 2-0 sweep of West Indies will place New Zealand at the top of the ICC ranking. But that doesn't matter as much as reaching a similar position in the World Test Championship points table. The team wants to be at Lord's by 2021. They've said it would be "great" if that happened, which is Kiwi code because we wanted it so badly and we're going to do everything we can to get it.
So don't be surprised if the field returns to a creepy green. Wellington is usually one of the highest scoring places in the country but it didn't start out that way, especially after the West Indies advertised their vulnerability in the most conspicuous way. Score like 138 all-out, then 27 for 4 following invite a do-over.

Holders Jason pointing finger right in the top order batsmen for their woes. Her words make it clear that she is fed up with having to deal with this matter again. Maybe he already knew – or had feelings – what the West Indies had one of the top four worst performers on the cricket test. Over the past five years, only Ireland, fairly new to the format, have been below their hitting average. How do you win with such a handicap?

In places where fast bowlers get lateral movement at most times of the day, a batsman with their offensive skills becomes invaluable. Darren Bravo have that. But he's also prone to minor dismissals. One of them sparked a second-half collapse in Hamilton as the pitch died down and the bid went on. Such an experienced player shouldn't make such mistakes, but because he does, he will be hungry to get things right as quickly as possible.
"Are you playing for Black Caps?" the boy asked. Maybe. We do not have audio of the wonderful conversations taking place on the border line in Hamilton. Luke Ronchi would say no, and point to BJ Watling only then were ambushed for an autograph. This is typical of a man who, despite wearing a head-to-toe cricket outfit, needs help getting recognized and a push to embrace his fame. The goalkeeper-batsman missed the first Test with a hamstring injury but now he's fit again he's just walking back to the XI. He's that good.

Tom Latham will be captain in Williamson's absence and Will Young will take his place at No. 3. Meanwhile, the Wellington Test will also mark Neil Wagner's 50th appearance in a white shirt for New Zealand.
New Zealand (possibly): 1 Tom Latham (captain), 2 Tom Blundell, 3 Will Young, 4 Ross Taylor, 5 Henry Nicholls, 6 BJ Watling (week), 7 Daryl Mitchell, 8 Kyle Jamieson, 9 Tim Southee, 10 Neil Wagner, 11 Trent Boult
West Indies will also celebrate one of their fast bowlers. Shannon Gabriel will be 50 Tests tomorrow. He will take over as leader of the offensive with Kemar Roach returning home to face his father's death. Goalkeeper Shane Dowrich was also not available, which gave him a chance Joshua da Silva to make his debut.
West Indies (presumably): 1 John Campbell, 2 Kraigg Brathwaite, 3 Darren Bravo, 4 Shamarh Brooks, 5 Roston Chase, 6 Jermaine Blackwood, 7 Joshua da Silva (wk), 8 Jason Holder (capt), 9 Alzarri Joseph, 10 Chemar Holder, 11 Shannon Gabriel
It will turn green. New Zealand believe that's when they are playing their best cricket though the preference may have more to do with how nearly every opposition that comes on this beach finds it so difficult to score big goals here. In the last five years, the away team, who hit first, have been eliminated 200 or less 13 times. New Zealand is just an advantage like that three times.
Rain is unlikely to play much of a role in any of these five Test match days.

"I think it's a bit of a reflection of the recent good performances. Contributing and getting a few appearances. At the same time, it feels a little surreal because, gosh, the whole world has a lot of bowling players of better quality. It's the lower ranks than me."

Match Preview – New Zealand vs West Indies, West Indies tour New Zealand 2020, T20I 2nd | Instant News
Quick initial sensation. The chaos of collapse. A bowling player quickly breathes fire. A T20 maverick stands tall. There are so many good things about The first T20I in Auckland – at least the return of the people in the stands and the shutdown of the crowd-made noise machine, which could not have happened soon enough.
But there is still room for improvement. Lockie Ferguson make that point in the post-match press conference several times. Except for its ferocious 4-0-21-5 spell, the rest of the bowlers need little time to get back to understanding international cricket. Even someone skilled Southee Team – who was also a substitute captain for the first two games – started the day with two games wide.
The West Indies is also rusting. Yorkers turned into beamers were the main culprit for their defeat on Friday and Kieron Pollard will be eager to restore discipline to his team and push the series to the fore.
For all the excitement at the Garden of Eden, there could be something better at Bay Oval on Mount Maunganui, as both groups of players work back to peak performance levels. Pollard is there. So is Ferguson. And the rest won't be far behind.

Recently Jimmy Neesham want to get away from the game. He hit softly and was thrown too predictably. As a result, he lost his place on the side and was forced to travel to find himself again. Friends and family as well as Wellington's players and staff are helping him find his love of cricket again, and now he's out there trying to be a limited finisher. New Zealand often missed it, with senior top batsmen Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor forced to both inning and shutting it down, but now things are changing.
Nicholas Pooran fell for the duck that was knocked full of stump legs. Sure, his speed was up to 150 kph, but he should have been a crown jewel among the next generation of West Indies hitters. And those guys should have brought a bad ball like that off the ground. Pooran is no coincidence. He's good against speed and spin. He is already a batsman capable of seeing two overs up front in a game and taking a hit accordingly. And he has all the shots and talent left. Sooner or later, the class will be displayed.

Now that they don't have to worry about the tiny confines of the Garden of Eden, New Zealand might think about bringing it up Ish Sodhi back to XI. Glenn Phillipsthe kneecap had come out, and then reappeared, when he hit him last night. He should be available for the second T20I.
New Zealand (maybe): 1 Tim Seifert (week), 2 Martin Guptill, 3 Glenn Phillips, 4 Devon Conway, 5 Ross Taylor, 6 James Neesham, 7 Mitchell Santner, 8 Tim Southee (captain), 9 Kyle Jamieson, 10 Lockie Ferguson, 11 Ish Sodhi
The West Indies were concerned about their defeat at goal in the clump, but given that the grove was made up of almost dazzling talent, they would probably stick with the same line-up and just ask them to be a little more – well – like themselves.
West Indies (presumably): 1 Andre Fletcher, 2 Brandon King, 3 Shimron Hetmyer, 4 Nicholas Pooran, 5 Kieron Pollard (captain), 6 Rovman Powell, 7 Fabian Allen, 8 Keemo Paul / Kyle Mayers, 9 Oshane Thomas, 10 Kesrick Williams, 11 Sheldon Cottrell
Another run-fest is likely given the average run-rate across the seven games played at Bay Oval is a very healthy 9.01. Fast bowlers tend to spoil most of those runs – they've run 9.60 over – so both captains can try to control the game with a spin, which costs a lot better 7.80.
The weather forecast for Sunday shows brief rains in the afternoon on Mount Maunganui.
Neesham has played four T20Is since the end of his two-year absence in January 2019. He made 111 runs in it, facing only 62 balls, with a strike rate of 179.
Pollard's number in T20 cricket this year reads: 615 ran in 308 balls with an average of 55.90 and an attack rate of 199.87.

International cricket returns to New Zealand. The last time they played at home – Christchurch test against India ending March 2 – the coronavirus has just started sending shock waves around the world. And everything rotates very fast. Their tour of Australia later that month was cut short after a ODI behind closed doors in Sydney, and they are the last team to play an international cricket match before the world locks up.
Four months later, the West Indies became the first international team to embark on a tour during the pandemic, when they visited England in July. New Zealand, however, will have to wait despite their relative success in controlling the viral spread community. Strict protocol is still in place, but – which is of interest to the team, no doubt – they will play in front of the crowd.
Both parties will lose some big names due to injury or workload management. Many of the players who have come to the series have barely played cricket for a while, while others have had to deal with the rigors of moving from one biobubble to another. The returnees from the IPL could barely train with squads, having completed their quarantine the day before the series. Both teams will be looking to break away and prepare for the relatively busy schedule over the next 12 months, leading up to the 2021 T20 World Cup in India. They will also get to work to sort out their best XI picks and reserves for the showpiece tournament.

Many have likened the wicketkeeper-batsman batting style Seifert Team with Brendon McCullum. The hugely successful top batsman had an outstanding performance at last season's Super Smash and also impressed with two and a half centuries against India in the T20I series at home earlier this year. He was part of the champion Trinbago Knight Riders team in the CPL and then flew to the UAE to join his IPL team, the Kolkata Knight Riders, where he didn't get a chance in the starting XI. McCullum himself, who is a guest coach at the Managed Isolation Quarantine and has been part of the Knight Riders franchise coaching arrangement at the IPL as well as the CPL, thinks Seifert is "in breakout season for the Black Caps".
Fabian Allen has been promising, but the past few months have not been easy for him. He was kicked out of CPL after missing his flight and didn't get a chance at Sunrisers Hyderabad XI at IPL. The left-handed player provides the complete T20 package: mid-level enforcer and left-winger, who can also enter with his left arm spin. He has displayed flashes of brilliance in previous CPL seasons and at West Indies domestic games, and has earned high praise from the likes of Ian Bishop. He really showed his abilities in a limited-overs series against Sri Lanka earlier this year, and now Allen has 12 months to prove why he should fly to India next year.
Ross Taylor keeps up with the nets Getty Images
Kane Williamson and Trent Boult has good performance on IPL but has rested for the T20I. Devon Conway, whose exploits with bats on the domestic circuit earned him a place in the national team, and a pioneer Kyle Jamieson could make their T20I debut when the duo wasn't around. Colin Munro's Big Bash League commitment keeps him out of the squad, so Team Seifert is ready to open up with Martin Guptill.
New Zealand (maybe): 1 Tim Seifert (week), 2 Martin Guptill, 3 Glenn Phillips, 4 Devon Conway, 5 Ross Taylor, 6 James Neesham, 7 Mitchell Santner, 8 Tim Southee (c), 9 Kyle Jamieson, 10 Lockie Ferguson, 11 Ish Sodhi
That Andre Russell's absence and Dwayne Bravo have opened two mid-level venues in the West Indies XI. Fast bowling allrounder Kyle Mayers can get a chance, meanwhile Keemo Paul, who opted out of the series against England, provided another option quickly.
West Indies (presumably): 1 Andre Fletcher, 2 Brandon King, 3 Nicholas Pooran (wk), 4 Rovman Powell / Kyle Mayers, 5 Shimron Hetmyer, 6 Kieron Pollard (c), 7 Sheldon Cottrell, 8 Hayden Walsh, 9 Fabian Allen, 10 Oshane Thomas / Keemo Paul, 11 Kesrick Williams
A running party is to be expected, but the defending team doesn't have much luck in the final game in Eden. Six of the last seven games were won by the pursuing teams even when their total exceeded 200.
There is little chance of taking a bath in Auckland tomorrow.
New Zealand have lost their last two bilateral T20I series at home – against India and England. If the West Indies beat them here it would be their first example of losing three straight T20I series at home.
Kieron PollardThe 160.26 strike figure across all T20s since the start of 2019 is the second best among the 63 hitters who have scored over 1000 runs during this period. Only Russell (174.34) has a better strike rate. Pollard has scored 1944 runs averaging 38.88 since January 2019.
Ross Taylor it took 91 more to complete 2000 processes on the T20I and join two other New Zealanders in the club: Martin Guptill (2536) and Brendon McCullum (2140).
"I think with the schedule we have, we are clearly looking forward to the next successive World Cup. I think there will be a little rotation with the Test boys coming and going. So, give me a chance in the future if other people are also not available."
Mitchell Santner in given the opportunity to lead New Zealand in third T20I
"We will continue to be positive and play our cricket brand. Sometimes it is difficult – winning two T20 World Cups and being ranked No. 9 in the world are a bit unbalanced, but I am sure we will get back there in the rankings."
Andre Fletcher believes West Indies T20I ratings do not justify their achievement in that format
The US saw 20% more deaths than expected this year, mostly due to COVID-19, according to research | Instant News
During the coronavirus pandemic so far, there have been 20% more deaths than is normally expected from March 1 to August 1 in the United States – with Covid-19 officially accounting for about two-thirds of them, according to The new research was published Monday in the medical journal JAMA.
"Although the total number of US deaths has been very consistent from year to year, US deaths increased by 20% over March-July 2020," according to the study, written by Dr. Steven Woolf and colleagues at the University of Virginia Commonwealth School of Medicine and Yale School of Public Health.
"Covid-19 is the documented cause of only 67% of these excess deaths," write the investigators.
The researchers analyzed mortality data from the National Center for Health Statistics and the US Census Bureau. In all, there were 1,336,561 deaths in the United States between March 1 and August 1, 2020, the study found – marking a 20% increase compared to what would normally be expected.
"Contrary to the skeptics who claim that the deaths from COVID-19 are bogus or much smaller than what we hear in the news, our research and many other studies on the same subject show the opposite," Woolf, a professor at the VCU School. of Medicine, said in a news release on Monday.
"Some people who have never been exposed to the virus may die from the disruption caused by the pandemic," added Woolf. "This includes people with acute emergencies, chronic illnesses such as diabetes that is not properly treated, or emotional crises that lead to overdoses or suicides."
New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Louisiana, Arizona, Mississippi, Maryland, Delaware, Rhode Island and Michigan are the ten states with the highest per capita excess death rates. The absolute increase in mortality varied from 22% in Rhode Island and Michigan to 65% in New York.
New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts – the three states with the highest death rates – account for 30% of the excess US deaths, but have the shortest epidemics, according to the researchers.
"The states that experienced an acute spike in April (and reopened later) had a shorter epidemic that returned to their early May, while states that reopened earlier saw a more protracted increase in excess deaths that extended into the season. hot, "write the researchers.
Covid-19 accounts for about two-thirds of excess deaths in the US
Of the 225,530 excess deaths, 150,541 – or 67% of them – were attributed to Covid-19.
The analysis found that there was an increase in deaths related to causes other than Covid-19, including the US death rate for heart disease, which increased between the weeks ending March 21 and April 11, "driven by a spring surge in Covid-19 cases, write the researchers.
Death rates from Alzheimer's disease and dementia have more than doubled, the researchers found. First between the weeks ending March 21 and April 11, and then between the weeks ending June 6 and July 25 – "coinciding with the summer surge in sunbelt state".
"Some states have greater difficulty than others in containing community spread, causing a protracted increase in excess mortality that continues well into the summer," the researchers wrote.
They also added that excess deaths attributed to something other than Covid-19 could be a reflection of deaths from unknown or undocumented cases or deaths among uninfected patients facing disruption caused by the pandemic.
This study does have several limitations, including relying on preliminary data, inaccurate death certificates and assumptions applied to the model.
But overall, "these deaths reflect the true size of the death toll from the Great Pandemic of 2020," Dr. Howard Bauchner, editor-in-chief of JAMA, and Dr. Phil Fontanarosa, executive editor of JAMA, wrote in an editorial accompanying the new study on Monday.
They wrote: "These deaths far exceed the number of US deaths from several armed conflicts, such as the Korean War and Vietnam War, and deaths from the 2009 H1N1 (swine flu) pandemic, and are close to the number of deaths from World War II. "
The death rate from the US coronavirus is high compared to other countries
The United States has experienced high death rates from the coronavirus during the pandemic, even when compared to other countries with high COVID-19 mortality rates, according to a separate study also published Monday in JAMA.
Alyssa Bilinski, PhD candidate at Harvard University, and Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, vice chancellor of global initiatives and professor at the University of Pennsylvania, compared the death rates from the US coronavirus through September 19 with those of 18 other countries with varying pandemic responses.
The researchers found that after May 10, the US had more deaths per 100,000 people than other "high mortality" countries included in the comparison, such as France and Sweden.
Countries with high mortality rates have more than 25 deaths per 100,000 people, and include the United States, the Netherlands, France, Sweden, Italy, Britain, Spain and Belgium.
The US has fared better than some countries with high death rates, but only in the early stages of the pandemic. Comparisons in the study show that if the US had a death rate comparable to France from May 10, it would have had 96,763 fewer deaths.
Countries with moderate mortality, with fewer than 5 to 25 deaths per 100,000 people, include Norway, Finland, Austria, Denmark, Germany, Israel, Switzerland and Canada.
Bilinski and Emanuel note that if the US had a death rate comparable to Canada since the start of the pandemic, 117,622 would have died less.
Bilinski and Emanuel categorized South Korea, Japan and Australia as countries with low mortality, with less than 5 deaths from the coronavirus per 100,000 people. If the US had a death rate comparable to Australia since the start of the pandemic, it would have had 187,661 fewer deaths, the study shows.
'Few people will forget the Great Pandemic of 2020'
This study has several limitations. One limitation of the study includes differences in risk of death between countries. For example, "the US population is younger but has more comorbidities than any other country," write the investigators.
Bilinski and Emanuel suggest that a variety of factors may have contributed to the US death rate during the pandemic, including a weak public health infrastructure and inconsistent pandemic response in the US.
JAMA editors, Bauchner and Fontanarosa, wrote in their editorial: "Few people will forget the Great Pandemic of 2020, where and how they lived, how it substantially changed their lives, and for many, the huge loss of life that has taken place. it caused. "

"It's no secret that I'm a fan of these Albertans' sound. It's basically the best parts of the 80s glam scene roughed up a good bit (to refer to Steven Tyler's famous thoughts on, the dudes no longer look like ladies) by the addition of modern heavy metal party rock like Holy Grail and their ilk. Striker's sound is similar to a well-made cheap beer like Old Style Pilsner: perfectly agreeable, easy to swallow, easy to enjoy in large quantities, even better when inebriated, and palatable to a wide range of folks."
