Kuala Lumpur archdiocese starts yearlong activities for families
This year's international gathering of Catholic families in Rome carried the theme "Family life: a vocation and a path to holiness"
The Archdiocese of Kuala Lumpur last week launched activities to promote and to support family life in line with the theme of the 10th World Meeting of Families in Rome in June.
"With this year given to us by the Holy Father, we are dedicating these 12 months to the theme of family," said Archbishop Julian Leow of Kuala Lumpur during Mass at the Cathedral of St John the Evangelist.
The prelate said the archdiocese has come to realize the stress suffered by families during the early part of the pandemic when members had to cope with being together at home during the lockdown.
"There were many challenges, and our families were perhaps torn, broken and stretched beyond their limits," said Archbishop Leow.
"I pray that our families may thrive so that society may continue to bloom and we will all be one in Christ," he added.
This year's international gathering of Catholic families in Rome carried the theme "Family life: a vocation and a path to holiness."
Father Peter Anthoney, the archdiocese's ecclesiastical assistant for the Family Life Commission, said he expects more families to benefit from the activities this year.
The activities were formally launched on August 21 and will continue until August next year.
Father Anthoney said the the archdiocese will use the guidelines and inputs from the sessions during the World Meeting of Families in June to organize events for the local Church.
Among the issues to be discussed are the encyclical Amoris Laetitia, topics raised in Rome during the international gathering, family worship of the Blessed Sacrament, family rosaries, and pilgrimages.
"The Holy Father chose the theme, 'Family Love: A Path to Holiness and Vocation' because he knows the struggles and the tensions in family life," said Father Anthoney.
He said that it is through the tensions and conflicts "that we grow to be holy and put the needs of others before our own."
"Our family has been put here by God for a purpose – to teach us how to get along and to be patient with each other, and to forgive," said the priest.
"Let us continue to build and nurture the ones closest to us. The ones closest to us somehow hurt us the most and therefore we need reconciliation – we need to forgive," he said.
Also planned later in the year and into the coming year are outreach programs for the poor, single parents, disabled, and migrants.

I've spent my whole known life making to-do lists and checking things off it. All in hopes to find love and acceptance from others. I'm learning now that my worth is not based on the things I check off my list but by the people I influence as I walk with Christ – being a light wherever I go.
This change from holding onto my to-do list to letting it go of it and letting the Lord guide my steps is foreign to me. Confusing… how do I make a to-do list but still be flexible enough to let God change my plans – through me curve balls…?

De ballonegelvis of bruine egelvis (Diodon holocanthus) is een straalvinnige vissensoort uit de familie van egelvissen (Diodontidae). De wetenschappelijke naam van de soort is voor het eerst geldig gepubliceerd in 1758 door Linnaeus.

Kenmerken
Deze 30 cm lange vis heeft een bruine rug en een gele buik met een stekelig pantser. Hij heeft krachtige kaken met vergroeide tanden en uitpuilende ogen. De stekels liggen normaal plat tegen het lichaam, maar bij gevaar kunnen ze worden opgezet. Dat doet de egelvis door snel water in te slikken, waarbij zijn lichaam opzwelt tot een gespannen bol met rechtopstaande stekels, dat uiteraard wel een belemmering vormen bij het zwemmen. Hij raakt ook weleens in netten verstrikt. Het vlees van de egelvis is giftig.

Leefwijze
Het voedsel van deze vis bestaat in hoofdzaak uit schelpdieren en andere ongewervelden.

Verspreiding en leefgebied
Deze soort komt wereldwijd voor in tropische en subtropische zeeën.

Approaching SAMA at Andrews Square, a sense of tranquility permeates the place. Branded with a gold circle that hints at a space for wholeness, connectivity and, as the name SAMA signifies, balance.
Shannon Salter Slinger designed SAMA to be a welcoming place for all. Serving the Buckhead community and beyond, SAMA is a place to encourage wellbeing with healthy fare and a community full of a yoga and meditation practice.
Prior to the creation of SAMA, Shannon was managing a demanding work life as modeling agent in New York City, providing guidance on the best beauty and wellness practices. Through her research, Shannon discovered a passion for yoga and meditation and became a registered teacher with I.S.H.T.A Yoga (Integrated Science of Hatha, Tantra and Ayurveda).
She immersed herself in the teachings of Ayurveda, the Hindu art of balance through mind, body and spirit. "Ayurveda is all encompassing; food to balance your constitution" said Slinger.
With a growing family and desire for a slower pace of life, Shannon with her husband and new baby moved to Atlanta. Shannon knew of Andrews Square and the close-knit community of retailers, specifically Lucy's Market. In addition to connecting with the retailers, Shannon having an eye for architecture, found Andrews Square to be a place of comfort. With breezy walkways, outdoor dining and a Mediterranean style, the unique atmosphere was a perfect home for SAMA.
Herbert Ames, EDENS Senior Vice President, guided the development of Andrews Square found SAMA to be the ideal fit for the neighborhood. "Bringing fresh cuisine and a spot to break away for morning mindfulness, SAMA is the perfect respite for our community," said Ames.
As part of the Andrews Square community, Shannon has connected with fellow retailers on exciting openings, such as House of Wallace who used SAMA's juices as delicious cocktail mixers, and provided her well-known balance bowls for Fit9 events. Fitting to the ethos of EDENS' Andrews Square, Shannon has enriched the Atlanta community in bringing balance through mind, body and bowl.

LinkedIn launches volunteer matching service
This news post is almost 8 years old
New adoption register website helps find families for vulnerable children
12 March 2015 by Paul Cardwell
Third sector groups will now be able to target volunteers via the popular business networking site
A new service will enable charities to advertise volunteer opportunities to 250,000 LinkedIn members who have declared an interest in volunteering.
For a fee – typically between £10 to £20 – organisations can post opportunities on the business networking site as well as contact users directly.
The LinkedIn Volunteer Marketplace will put charitable organisations in touch with LinkedIn members who want to know more about volunteering opportunities.
Meanwhile users will be able to browse thousands of volunteering opportunities at non-profit making organisations.
The service already runs in the US and has proven increasingly popular over the last year.
Alison Dorsey social impact manager at LinkedIn, said: "The volunteer experience and causes field has become very popular in LinkedIn profiles.
"A lot of members have indicated that they want to volunteer in the future.
"It's very difficult to gather data on how many people we've connected, but we hear fantastic stories about its success."
She said the site offered a powerful tool because it allowed charities not just to post information and wait, but to actively search a database of interested individuals and contact them.
"We have a powerful algorithm designed expressly to direct people towards the right opportunities for them," she said. "We want charities to make use of that.
"We also want charities to get in contact. A lot of people feel it's a bit forward to contact someone out of the blue and ask them to volunteer.
"But actually a lot of people feel flattered."
Ariel Eckstein, managing director of LinkedIn marketing solutions said talent was just as critical to the charity sector as it is for businesses, and charities often struggle to find the right fit skilled volunteers and trustees.
He added: "We have hundreds of thousands of professional members who want to volunteer their skills but, until now, there was no easy way for them to connect with charities through LinkedIn.
"We're launching the Volunteer Marketplace to solve that. By applying what we do best – connecting talent with opportunity on a massive scale – to the social sector, we want to help UK charities recruit the skills they need to tackle some of the world's most pressing challenges."
George Thomson, chief executive of Volunteer Scotland said the new service is a helpful addition to the volunteering landscape in Scotland.
"Research shows that volunteering can deliver health benefits to volunteers as well as providing them with valuable skills and experiences that can help them find a job," he said.
"As Scotland's only national centre for volunteering, Volunteer Scotland's website makes it easy for volunteers to search thousands of opportunities; we also enable organisations to advertise new volunteer opportunities and provide direct access to Scotland's Disclosure Service for voluntary organisations.
"We already share volunteering opportunities with other websites and LinkedIn offers an additional channel to reach potential volunteers.
"We would hope to connect our own service with this new facility to further promote volunteering and volunteer participation in Scotland.
"Our aim as an organisation is to increase participation in volunteering in Scotland to ensure that everyone has the chance to benefit from the enjoyment and well-being associated with volunteering."

In the last few years the web has seen a big shift from desktop to mobile and, unsurprisingly, this trend has resulted in a large number of online searches launched via mobile devices.
Currently, nearly 60% of all searches are performed on mobile, but Google still uses the desktop version of a site to calculate what page your website will appear on. However, Google has already announced plans to switch to a mobile first index which will use your mobile content to determine where you appear in the search engines.
Do I Need to Make Fundamental Changes?
Google absolutely loves response websites, even going so far as to recommend responsive design as the method to use when creating a mobile site. The reasons are straightforward, the content on a responsive site is the same as on a desktop, the URL doesn't change and the site responds to screen size directly.
ICG actively makes all of its websites responsive as we believe that this is results in a better and more consistent user experience.
It's not always easy to tell how fast your site is, it's often easier to tell when your site is slow.
On mobile the key is to focus on anything that can result in large data transfers as people will typically leave your site if it takes longer than three seconds to load, meaning it might be ok to show big imagery and HTML5 videos on the desktop but you will have to scale it back on mobile.
Images are the most common cause of a slow website, they are often left unoptimised and can result in some fairly significant increases to page load time. Other common culprits are scripts added by plugins and bad caching.
If you are using a popup screen on a mobile site you may well be on your way to an interstitial penalty.
Google is cracking down hard on people using popups on mobile, unfortunately, for a lot of websites it has become common practice to use a popup for newsletter signups and similar features.
We redesigned this feature on our clients' mobile sites to provide the same functionality but meet the Google guidelines, the result is a website that is fully compatible with the guidelines and a very mobile friendly experience for the user.


The GMC is on track to hit its target of revalidating all GPs who were on its register in December 2012 by the end of March 2016, official statistics suggest.
Close to three quarters (71%) of the 60,002 GPs on the GMC register before revalidation began had successfully undergone the process by the end of September 2015, according to official statistics seen by GPonline.
But around 7,000 GPs - 12% of GPs on the December 2012 register - are no longer subject to revalidation, because they are no longer registered, no longer licensed, or now hold temporary registration.
Excluding these GPs, the GMC has revalidated 81% of the GPs still subject to the revalidation process in the target group.
The GMC aimed to revalidate all GPs on the 2012 register by April 2016, setting out to get through 20% of doctors in year one of the programme (2013/14), followed by another 40% in year two (2014/15) and then the final 40% in year three (2015/16), the current financial year.
Almost 10,000 GPs – 16% of the GPs included in the target – must still undergo revalidation before April for the GMC to hit its target according to the statistics, which run until the end of September.
This gives the regulator six months, as of these figures, to revalidate this 16%, while its target at this point allowed for 20%, suggesting it is slightly ahead of schedule.
A GMC spokeswoman confirmed that it was on track to get through the majority of GPs by April, but added that it was 'inevitable' that some may have their revalidation planned for slightly after this date.
Once all doctors have been revalidated once, they will be provided with the date they will next need to be revalidated by in the second round of the revalidation programme.
GMC chief executive Niall Dickson said: 'We are pleased with the progress that we are making with revalidation, especially in primary care. More than 60,000 GPs have been revalidated since 2012 and we are on track to complete the majority by next spring. These figures are a testament to doctors and to those who have been supporting them with their appraisal and revalidation over the past three years.

Q: Association analysis in Python - memory error on groupby I am doing an association analysis in a problem like 'Market Basket' (find products that are sold together). I have a dataset of 12 months with 150Mb of data, approx 7mi registers (Invoices and the products, among other data). I think it doesn't worth going to Hadoop.. I'm following this tutorial (http://pbpython.com/market-basket-analysis.html), but I'm getting Memory Error in the df.unstack() part.
data = pd.DataFrame()
list_ = []
for date in files:
    df = pd.read_csv('VND_%s.csv' % date,
                    sep=';',
                    skiprows=0,
                    names=names,
                    index_col=None)
    list_.append(df)
data = pd.concat(list_)

basket = (data.groupby(['INVOICE', 'MATERIAL'])['TOT_QUANTITY']
          .sum().unstack().reset_index().fillna(0))

def encode_units(x):
    if x <= 0:
        return 0
    if x >= 1:
        return 1

basket_sets = basket.applymap(encode_units)
frequent_itemsets = apriori(basket_sets, min_support=0.05, use_colnames=True)
rules = association_rules(frequent_itemsets, metric="lift", min_threshold=1)

print(rules.head())

And if you find something that could be improved please tell me. I'd appreciate.

Q: Como passar variáveis do Controller para a View no ASP.NET MVC 4.5? Estou bastante acostumado com o MVC em PHP onde consigo passar os valores para a view a partir do controller da seguinte forma:
public function Index(Users user)
{
    return View('index')
        ->with('user', $user);
}

Ou para retornar erros de validação:
public function Index()
{
    return View('index')
        ->withErrors(['Erro1', 'Erro2']);
}

Como eu posso fazer o mesmo no C#? por exemplo, eu possuo a função que recebe os valores de E-mail e Senha de um formulário, verifica se o usuário existe e caso não exista, retorna uma variável com o erro.
[HttpPost]
public void Attempt(string email, string password, Admins db)
{
    Admins admin = db.admins.Where(model => model.email == email).FirstOrDefault();

    // return view().with("error", "test1"); ????
}

A: Normalmente usa-se ViewBag ou ViewData. O que for criado no controlador poderá ser acessado na visão.
[HttpPost]
public void Attempt(string email, string password, Admins db) {
    Admins admin = db.admins.Where(model => model.email == email).FirstOrDefault();
    ViewBag.Error = "test1"; //ou ViewData["Error"] = "test1";
    return View();
}

Na view vai usar assim:
@ViewBag.Error
ou @ViewData["Error"]

Coloquei no GitHub para referência futura.
Mais informações.

A: A maneira correta de enviar erros de validação do Controller para a View é através do comando ModelState.AddModelError():
[HttpPost]
public void Attempt(string email, string password, Admins db)
{
    Admins admin = db.admins.FirstOrDefault(model => model.email == email);

    if (admin == null)
    {
        ModelState.AddModelError("", "Usuário não é admin.")
    }
}

O dicionário ModelState representa não apenas o resultado de todas as validações envolvendo a requisição, mas também o estado do Model, o binding de suas variáveis e informações sobre o formulário. É preenchido, em boa parte, pelo próprio pipeline MVC, mas pode ser também preenchido pelo programador, como neste caso.
AddModelError possui também uma forma que aceita uma exceção ao invés de uma mensagem de erro. O primeiro parâmetro corresponde ao nome do campo em que a mensagem de validação deve aparecer (normalmente combinado com jQuery.Validation, que já vem instalado por padrão) O preenchimento do primeiro parâmetro é opcional, já que a mensagem de validação pode se referir ao Model inteiro, como no exemplo. Neste caso, deve-se usar @Html.ValidationSummary para exibir as mensagens de validação levantadas sem campos específicos.
ViewBag e ViewData não são boas escolhas para validação porque não possuem qualquer padronização de dados e não são preenchidos automaticamente pelo framework


Brake for bicycles with adjustable distance between the brake shoes and the wheel rim in the rest position.
The so-called V-Brake is the most widely used brake on bicycles. In this rim brake the two brake arms, including brake shoes, are mount on frame parts (brake base). The brake bases are firmly connected to the frame of the bicycle and are de facto standardized. When the brake lever on the bicycle handlebar is released after braking, the brake shoes on both sides of the wheel rim in the ideal case move back the same distance. If they do not, the brake is not properly centered. In extreme cases, a brake shoe remains in contact with the wheel rim and rubs on it, even if the brake is not being actuated. Even if the brake has been properly adjusted (centered), the brake arms may be skewed under certain circumstances. This happens especially when water or dirt penetrates between the moving and fixed parts of the brake. Every cyclist who rides a lot knows this deficiency. In addition, it sometimes happens that under very strong braking, a brake shoe remains in contact with the wheel rim after releasing the brake lever while with weak to moderate braking all remains in order.
A change in construction as shown in the sketch of Fig. 0 solves the problem.
In order to always have equal distance between brake shoes and the wheel rim when the brake is not actuated, the return travel of the brake arms is limited instead of the usual setting of the return spring force. In this case it is not decisive which force the return springs develop. If the brake is not actuated, the return spring pushes the brake arm to a limit. As a result, the distance between the brake shoe and wheel rim remains constant in the rest position of the brake.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the brake can be constructed in such way that the distance between the brake shoe (1) and the wheel rim (2) can be adjusted in the rest position, with one adjusting element (4) attached to the attachment element (13), which presses against the brake shoe holder (14). The adjusting element (4) is fixed with a lock nut (15). This setting is also easier than the adjustment by changing the spring force, as is customary in the V-Brake. The procedure is as follows: The adjusting elements (4) are screwed in until the brake shoes (1) touch the wheel rim (2). Then undo both adjusting elements (4) with the same number of revolutions again. Then it is to check whether the wheel is running freely, so that the brake shoes (1) do not touch the wheel rim (2).
When adjusting the brake, it is necessary to adjust the tension of the pull rope (9) in the rest position of the brake. For this purpose, a hollow screw (7) with a fixing nut (8) at the upper end of a brake arm (6) are mounted, as it is already often used on brake levers in bicycles.
The diameter of the locking pin (12) may be only slightly smaller than the diameter of the corresponding locking hole in the frame part (11), so that the spring block (3) cannot rotate even slightly, otherwise the exact adjustment and compliance with the distances between the brake shoe (1 ) and wheel rim (2) is not guaranteed. A chamfer on the locking pin (12) is used to facilitate the mounting of the brake on the bike.
A wheel change is made easy in this design: The screw (10) is to remove and the brake arm (6) to take off.
Because the described brake is constructively oriented to the most commonly used design, the adaptation of the existing manufacturing process does not require much expenditure to implement the invention.
In 2015, a prototype of the brake was manufactured and mounted on a bicycle. To this day, post is daily delivered with this bicycle in rural hilly area, with an annual mileage of about 6000 km. The "Go-Brake" has proven to be reliable and required low maintenance.
We are looking for a producer for the "Go-Brake"!


This quote forced me to sit down and reflect. I pondered this for weeks, and I have finally come up with an answer. I used to be an extremely happy person, there were days when I would smile for no reason at all.
When I compare the joy I felt then to how I feel now there's a drastic difference, I feel disconnected from that hope-filled little girl with pure uncontainable joy. The girl I am feels foreign, she worries far too much and holds on to the past much longer than she should. I feel like I have to regain my trust in myself which is proving to be extremely difficult.
When I found the quote above, I was reading the book The Four Agreements by Miguel Ruiz. I had also recently listened to public speaker Lisa Nichols. Ruiz and Nichols articulated the impact of self-limiting beliefs and how they affect all aspects of our lives.
Nichols recommended an exercise called Expose the Lies, which entails writing down your lies about money, who you are, relationships, health, fitness and spirituality in pencil. Then, you skip 4 lines in between the lies and write down your truths in red pen. Once complete read through your lies and truths for 2 days once or twice a day until the truths become more believable. After the second day of reading through your list, erase the lies to reveal your truths. These truths provide you with a new foundation for your life.
I have attempted it twice and stopped because it is a very emotional process. Nichols was not lying about that part! This process takes perseverance and consistency which are things that I seek to improve on, sometimes I am quick to give up when I feel uncomfortable. One thing that I've learned about myself this year is that I loath discomfort. Which is silly that I am discovering this because I believe that everyone on Earth seeks to be comfortable. Right?
Reading through all the negativity that I feed myself made me feel like someone was pouring sour milk down my throat and forcing me to digest it. I even made excuses for why I didn't finish the exercise, for example, I didn't have the time. Yet, in the past, I have found time to binge several series on Netflix within hours. That being said I plan to try the exercise for the third time and actually complete it because I do want to live a better life than the one I'm allowing myself and this process may be the key to unlocking it.
L: My life is a mess.
T: I am changing & growing toward greatness.
L: I will never have a long-lasting healthy, loving relationship with a significant other.
T: I will only open myself to healthy, loving, respectful relationships.
L: It cost too much for me to eat healthily.
T: I can afford to eat healthily.
L: I can't afford my dream life.
T: My dream life is a life I can afford to put money and energy into, it is mine already.

Q: Can I use use .last and get an ActiveRecord_Associations_CollectionProxy at the same time? I have a model called Notification and inheriting models VoteNotification and CommentNotification. I'm building a summarize feature which takes the last 50 notifications and condenses them based on similarities. My code uses a lot of .where statements to narrow down what I need at different points.
Doing current_user.notifications.last(50) returns an array
Doing current_user.notifications returns an ActiveRecord_Associations_CollectionProxy which is the ideal data type for what .summarize actually does
My question is, is there a way to get a CollectionProxy while also limiting the scope of my initial query to the last 50 notifications?
Thanks!

A: No, you can't use .last, but you can definitely get the "last" record as a collection proxy:
current_user.notifications.order('id desc').limit(1)

Or
current_user.notifications.order('created_at desc').limit(1)

A member at realcent.org has this post-- Any help would be nice.
This was in an auction lot I recently purchased. What might it be categorized as? Any value here?
I've seen similar items on other coins, but not the neat engrailing. The silver is milled/machined out and lead or lead alloy poured in. Then the etching takes place. You find these with plain backs & no design, as a type of crude counterfeit that weighs something close to silver. I like it and someone has some silver shavings to keep and accumulate.


An intrusion detection system (IDS) can perform log analysis, check file integrity, monitor policy changes, and keep an eye out for rootkit installations and alert you when a threat is first suspected. The IDS that I chose for my host was OSSES HIDS, an open source host-based Intrusion Detection System offered by Trend Micro. Here's how I installed OSSEC on my hosted Linux VPS and Splunk on a local Windows machine to monitor.
A Dutch man built this and posted it on tweakers.net (a Dutch website but translates to English pretty good using Google Chrome). He took a gaming computer system that he had and rather than change out the case, built a desk around it. He mocked up the design using Google Sketch, had his friend weld the aluminum frame and desk, installed thick glass as the desk top, and assembled the computer hardware into the desk frame. I believe the cooling system is in the drawer section to the right.
Silicon wafers used in computer chipsets (processors) have typically been two dimensional. On May 4, 2011, Intel announced a 3-D transistor technology, called Tri-Gate, that ensures Moore's Law, which predicts that chipset transistor density doubles every two years, keeps pace. Dense chipsets allow Intel to pack more computer cycles (with less power usage) onto a single chip. By building above the chip's surface, Intel can build chipsets that are smaller, faster, and use less power. The Tri-Gate transistors will be used in a line of 22 nanometer processors (code named Ivy Bridge) and ready for production use by 2012.

Sandy Marton (* 4. Oktober 1959 in Zagreb; bürgerlich Aleksandar Marton) ist ein kroatischer Italo-Disco-Musiker. Als Sohn des damaligen jugoslawischen Konsuls in Italien, zog er in den 1970er Jahren nach Mailand.

Biografie
In der Mailänder Diskothek Primadonna wurde Aleksandar Marton 1982 von dem Talentscout Claudio Cecchetto entdeckt. Cecchetto erkannte früh sein kommerzielles Potenzial als Teenie-Idol und nahm ihn unter Vertrag. Im folgenden Jahr debütiert er unter dem Pseudonym "M. Basic" mit der Single Ok Run. Der Song wurde unter anderem als Jingle in der Werbung für die Videospielkonsole Philips Videopac G7000 verwendet.

Unter dem endgültigen Pseudonym Sandy Marton brachte ihn Cecchetto 1984 mit der englischsprachigen Single, People from Ibiza, die von Marton selbst komponiert wurde, in die Charts. People from Ibiza, beschrieb inhaltlich als auch musikalisch das Lebensgefühl der Mittelmeerinsel und wurde in ganz Europa zum Sommerhit des Jahres 1984. Die Nachfolgesingle Exotic and Erotic platzierte sich im Frühjahr 1986 in den deutschen Singlecharts, White Storm in the Jungle kurze Zeit später in der Schweizer Hitparade. Das Album Modern Lovers kam im gleichen Jahr in den Handel.

Angesichts des Erfolgs mit Marton gründete Cecchetto die Produktionsfirma Marton Corporation und das Plattenlabel Ibiza Records. In den folgenden Jahren veröffentlichte er eine weitere Handvoll Singles, wenn auch weniger erfolgreich (Love Synchronicity 1987, La Paloma Blanca 1989). Aufgrund des schwindenden Erfolgs und der harten Regeln des Showbiz verließ er Ende des Jahrzehnts das Musikgeschäft und zog nach Spanien.

2005 ging Marton noch einmal auf eine Club-Tournee, veröffentlichte ein Best-of-Album und war Teilnehmer an der Rai-2-Reality-Show L'isola dei famosi.

Tag Archives: Cal McVey
"The Sock on the jaw ended the game and their Friendship"
In June of 1922, Seventy-two-year-old Cal McVey was still working; more than 40 years after his final game with the Cincinnati Reds, he was a night watchman at a San Francisco lumber company.
A reporter from The San Francisco Call and Post called him to let him know the National League had just voted him a monthly pension.
"It was welcome news to the old-timer. Jobs have been more and more infrequent and difficult to hold…Rheumatism and other ills of advancing age have meant weeks in the hospital…The idea of a benefit for the veteran had been suggested and abandoned, for the name 'Cal McVey' carried little significance to the bulk of 1922 fans."
A benefit game on McVey's behalf between two military teams held in 1919 at San Francisco's Recreation Park had drawn a very small crowd.
The paper said
"(T)he league will only be doing what is partially due a man who was one of the real founders of organized baseball and one who did his full share toward keeping the game out of the clutches of the gamblers."
McVey had been "approached" while playing for the Boston Red Stockings.
"This gambler was a friend of Cal and the two were playing billiards one day in Boston when the proposition was made…(McVey hit the gambler) so hard on the jaw that he forgot all about baseball and everything else for awhile…The sock on the jaw ended the game and their friendship."
Cal McVey
The Call and Post claimed McVey left major league baseball behind while still in his prime at the age of 30 partly as a result of his disdain for gamblers. After the 1879 season, McVey, then manager of the Reds came to the West Coast with the team for a series of games with the Chicago White Stockings and local teams:
"Cal suspected two men on his team of being too friendly with gamblers. But he could not prove anything on them, nor could he get the owner of the club to fire them (and) he was disgusted that fall because his team did not win the pennant when he thought it had the class to do so."
After finishing in second place in 1878, the Reds added shortstop Ross Barnes and had high expectations for the 1879 season—McVey replaced Deacon White as manager in June—they finished the year 43-37 (34-28 under McVey) in fifth place.
McVey "took a flyer" on an investment in a mine while in California and The paper said he was "unlucky enough" to have quickly made a $3500 profit—he earned $2000 with the Reds that season.
"That settled it. No more baseball for him (not entirely, McVey did play in the California and Pacific Leagues in 1880 and played with some independent teams in the mid-1880s). He was cut out for a mining broker. He sold his stuff in Cincinnati and moved to San Francisco."
McVey was successful in San Francisco until the 1906 earthquake and resulting fires:
"Cal was running a cigar store at Third and Folsom Streets…His wife (Abbey) was hurt in the disaster and, after a lingering illness of two tears, she died. Cal says the light of his life went out when his wife died."
After the loss of his wife and business, McVey worked a series of jobs. In 1913, a wire service report said he had been "crippled" in a mine explosion in Nevada and friends in California asked many of his former teammates to help him financially.
It is unclear how incapacitated McVey was from the accident, in 1919 he was healthy enough to travel to Cincinnati for the World Series, but by 1922, when the National League granted his pension, McVey was nearly destitute and in poor health. He told the reporter who called him with the news he "was proud today that the National League had 'remembered an old fellow like me.'"
McVey 1922
McVey died in San Francisco four years later.

"This kind of Argument is the Veriest kind of Twaddle"
After just one season in the National League—a 24-36 record and a fifth place finish in 1878–the Indianapolis Blues disbanded. Four members of the Blues joined the Chicago White Stockings—Silver Flint, Joe Quest, Ned Williamson, and Orator Shafer.
The 1879 White Stockings
The White Stockings had been a disappointment in 1878, finishing in fourth place with a 30-30 record under Manager Bob Ferguson. President A.G. Spalding, who had named Ferguson as his successor when he retired from the field, announced that first baseman "Cap" Anson would replace Ferguson for 1879.
The changes gave the Chicago press high hopes for 1879.
But, The Cincinnati Enquirer did not agree. The paper said while the Chicago club was "greatly strengthened where it was very weak," they would still finish no better than fourth place unless they were "properly managed." Boston Red Stockings Manager "Harry Wright could take this team and run it up to second place at least."
In January The Enquirer implied that in addition to questionable management, Chicago's new players were going to be a detriment:
"A prominent baseball official of Boston, in a private letter written recently, sententiously remarks: 'Look out for the Indianapolis element in the Chicago Club next year.' There's a text for everybody's thoughts."
The Chicago Tribune quickly fired back with an article under the headline:
"Harmony" vs. Energy
"There has been a great deal said at one time and another concerning 'harmony' in nines, and those who had the most to say on the subject contended that it was an essential point to be carefully looked after in the formation of any club which hoped for success on the diamond field. Now The Tribune does not wish to set itself up in opposition to the judgment of men who have made baseball and the management of those who play it a study and a business venture, but it does say that many of them have harped so long upon this matter of 'harmony' that it has become a kind of second nature, whereby their judgment has been sadly warped. Of late a paragraph, started in Cincinnati, has been going the rounds, in which the general public is solemnly warned to 'look out for the Indianapolis element in the Chicago Club' during 1879.
"Now the President and Manager of the Chicago Club are probably about as astute and far-seeing as any in the business and in view of this fact and reflection on their judgment or sagacity is in bad taste, and the parties who make ill-advised criticisms on the course of any club in hiring men, are very apt to undergo the unpleasant experience of persons not brought up in New Zealand who indulge in the pastime of throwing boomerangs; their weapons may come back and inflict considerable damage on those who threw them. Whether or not the White stocking nine of next season will be a 'harmonious' one, it is doubtful if anybody knows, and still more doubtful if anybody cares.
"At the risk of being howled at by several papers, the baseball columns which are presided over by young men whose practical ignorance of the game is exceeded only by their ability to construct tables which not even themselves can understand when printed."
One of the "Young men" referred to was The Enquirer's sports Editor Oliver Perry "O.P." Caylor.
One of O.P. Caylor's tables "which not even themselves can understand when printed."
"The Tribune will say that the question of whether or not the Chicago nine of next season 'harmonizes' will probably make very little difference with its play. Some of the men who enjoy the reputation of being first-class kickers and disorganizers are nevertheless very handy individuals to have around when a base hit or good field play in wanted. Without intending either to arouse the wrath or flatter the vanity of the very amiable and stalwart young man, Anson, it may be said that his reputation as an experienced and prolonged kicker is one that any man might be proud of; but, in spite of those who preach that harmony is everything, he is acknowledged to be one of the best and most useful ball-players in the country. (Cal) McVey, of the Cincinnatis, can also make quite a conspicuous kick, even when not specially called upon to do so; still he is a good ball-player.
"Lip Pike is a disorganizer of the first water, but last season, when he used to hoist a ball out among the freight cars on the lake shore, people who were presumed to know a good player yelled themselves hoarse in his praise. The list could be extended indefinitely, but such action is not necessary. Those who organize nines on the basis of 'harmony' alone will never grow rich at the baseball business. It is not possible to get together nine men who could travel around the country eating, sleeping, and playing ball together that would never get out of tune. Nine angels could not do it, much less nine mortals, subject to the little idiosyncrasies that human nature is afflicted with. "
The Tribune likely assumed the "prominent baseball official of Boston," was Manager Harry Wright, and next turned its attention to him, his brother, and his championship teams.
"Harry Wright has always been the prophet whom the 'harmony' men delighted to honor, and the success of the Cincinnati and Boston Clubs under his management has been laid entirely to the dove-like dispositions of the men engaged by him. This kind of argument is the veriest kind of twaddle, and the history of the Boston Club proves the truth of this assertion. George Wright and Tommy Beals went many a day without the interchange of a friendly word, and George and (Charlie) Gould did the same thing. For one whole season Ross Barnes and Gould never exchanged a word, and glared at each other like opposing game chickens, but the Boston's won the pennant that year (1872—National Association) all the same harmony or no harmony.
"Other instances of like character could be adduced were there any necessity therefore, but these, from the fountain head of 'harmony,' will suffice. If a club wins the championship it will be because its men play ball, not because they are 'goody-goody' boys. Your man who gets hot at something during a game, and then relieves his feelings by making a two or three base hit, is much more valuable than one who, although possessed of a Sunday-school temperament at all times, manifests a decided aversion to reaching first base., when the occupancy of that particular bag of sawdust would be of some value to the men who pay him high wages for playing ball."
O.P. Caylor
Caylor would not let the insult to him and to Harry and George Wright, go unchallenged:
"The Chicago Tribune published some strange statements against the argument that in harmony there was always strength. To prove that harmony was not always necessary to create strength in a baseball club, the writer made bold to say among other things that Tommy Beales [sic] when a member of the Boston Club, went many a day without the interchange of a friendly word with George Wright, and that the same feeling existed between George and Gould. The writer knew from the first these statements were fiction, but in order to crush the fallacious argument our reporter left it to George Wright himself for an answer. The letter is before us from which we quote, though we half suspect George would demur to its publication out of modesty if he knew it. "
Wright wrote to Caylor:
"(The Tribune) said Tommy Beales [sic] and I went many a day without the interchange of a friendly word, and that Gould and I did the same thing. While they were with the Boston nine they were about my best friends. Most of the time Beales [sic] boarded at my house, while Charley and I roomed together on trips. I think the reporter was wrong in his argument against 'Harmony' as it was the great cause of the Boston Club's success. The credit for this mostly belonged to Captain Harry Wright."
Although it appears Wright spelled the name of his good friend Tommy Beals incorrectly, he got the spelling right 12 months later when he named his son—tennis Hall of Fame member –Beals Wright after his former teammate.
The Tribune allowed Wright, and Caylor, the last word, and dropped the dialogue regarding "harmony."
Despite Caylor's prediction, the White Stockings, under Manager Cap Anson, led the National League from opening Day through August 15. Anson became ill during July, and as his performance slipped, so did the team's fortunes.
Suffering from what The Tribune called "an acute affection of the liver…that had sadly impaired his strength and capacity for play," Anson left the club on August 26 with a 41-21 record, in second place, just a game and a half back.
With Silver Flint serving as manager, and without Anson's bat—he led the team with a .317 average—the White Stockings were 5-12 in the last 17 games, and a fourth place finish.
Harry Wright's Boston Red Stockings finished second; his team, winners of the previous two National League championships lost some of the "harmony" that made them winners when his brother George Wright and Jim O'Rourke signed with the Providence Grays. George Wright, in his only season as a manager, led the Grays to the 1879 National League championship.

"Dunnie's" Narrow Escape
Samuel Morrison "Dunnie" Dungan returned home to Southern California in 1889 after graduating from Eastern Michigan University– the Michigan State Normal School– and joined the F.N. Hamilton's a powerful San Diego-based semi-pro team that included 39-year-old Cal McVey, a member of Harry Wright's Cincinnati and Boston Red Stockings teams from 1869 through 1875 (with a detour to Baltimore in 1873).
In the spring of 1890 the Oakland Colonels, champions of the California League in 1889 recruited Dungan to catch for them during a series of exhibition games in Los Angeles. The Oakland squad did not impress Southern California critics. The San Diego Union said:
"It is drawing it mild to say that it was the rottenest game that been played on the ground. If it was not a fake, than the Oaklands cannot play ball. Do they suppose up about San Francisco and Oakland that they can bring down to Southern California a lot of boys and show the Southerners how to play ball?"
Samuel Dungan
The Union said the Hamiltons, as well as two other San Diego teams, the Schiller & Murthas and the Llewellyns "can beat the Oakland team out of sight."
The paper said only one player stood out:
"Dungan, the San Diego catcher, who caught for the Oaklands both days, was about the only redeeming feature of that club…And he does not pretend to be a professional."
As a result of his play during the exhibitions, Dungan was signed by the Colonels; he still caught occasionally but was now primarily an outfielder. Team owner Colonel Thomas P. Robinson was unable to restrain his enthusiasm when Dungan was signed, telling The Oakland Tribune:
"I believe Dungan is the greatest batter we've ever had here—better than (Lou) Hardie or (Vince) Dailey, the latter of whom I rank as the best of the old men."
Fred Carroll, a California native who played with the Pittsburgh Burghers in the Players League in 1890, called Dungan "the only scientific batter on this coast."
Statistics are incomplete for the 1890 California League season, but both The Tribune and The San Francisco Chronicle reported that Dungan was the league's batting champion. The Los Angeles Herald said he hit .332. The Colonels finished third in the four-team league. The Tribune said it was "probable that Dungan will go East."
He was first rumored to be heading to be heading to the Washington Statesmen in the American Association but ended up signing with the Western Association's Milwaukee Brewers.
It was Dungan's departure from the West Coast in the spring of 1891 that led to the biggest headlines of his career.
The San Francisco Chronicle told the story:
"Sam Dungan, the ballplayer who was with Oakland last season and who led the California League in batting, is being pursued by an irate wife who says she will follow him to the end of the earth if necessary to again clasp him in her arms. It seems that last year among the many conquests Dungan made in Oakland was Miss Mamie Bodgard. She became wild over him, and at last was introduced to him. After the season Dungan came south to his home in Santa Ana, but communication between himself and Miss Bodgard kept up. She sent him many dainty perfumed notes. Finally the marriage of the couple was announced and it created no great surprise.
"Now comes the thrilling part of this story. Two hours after the marriage had taken place (in Los Angeles) Dungan left his bride and journeyed to Santa Ana, where he had an interview with his parents, who are well and favorably known and rank among the leading families. Sam is a college graduate and was the idol of his parents. Mrs. Dungan also journeyed to Santa Ana. She did not go to the home of the Dungan's, but went to the Richelieu Hotel. She is a most pronounced brunette, rather petite, and is reported to have a temper. The couple had parted, and the news of the separation soon became noised around. Mrs. Dungan consulted a lawyer to have her 'hubby' restrained from leaving Santa Ana, but the heavy hitter eluded his young wife and started for Milwaukee, giving his bride the slip at Orange, she being on the same train with him that far."
The jilted bride told a reporter for The Los Angeles Herald that she was "a grass widow," but vowed to pursue Dungan to Milwaukee. Mrs. Dungan's trip to Milwaukee was unsuccessful.
A year later The Herald reported that a court in Santa Ana had awarded Mrs. Dungan $25 a month "and she is very elated in consequence." She was said to have gone to Milwaukee twice the previous year and had taken to reading "Sammy's love letters on the street corners," of Santa Ana:
"Mrs. Dungan is an excellent dresser and is an exceptionally handsome woman. She doubtless could be induced to kiss and make up, but the parents of her husband stand in the way of a reconciliation. The Dungan's are anxious to have Sam get a divorce, but he can't very well, and Mrs. Dungan says: 'Never in a thousand years.'"
A divorce was finally granted in 1893. Sam Dungan remarried in 1900.
Dungan went on to play parts of five seasons in the major leagues, mostly with the Chicago Colts and had a .301 career batting average. He was an excellent minor league hitter, putting up several excellent seasons—including averages of .447, .424 and .372 in 1894, '95, '97 with the Detroit Creams and Detroit Tigers in the Western League. He also hit a league-leading .337 in 1900 for the Kansas City Blues in the inaugural season of the American League.
Dungan returned home to Santa Ana after retiring at the close of the 1905 season and participated in many old-timers games in Southern California. The Santa Ana Register reported on his heroics during a 1924 fundraising game for former player Ed Householder who was dying of stomach cancer—Dungan joined Sam Crawford, Gavvy Cravath, Fred Snodgrass and other West Coast baseball legends for the game in Los Angeles:
"Yesterday, Dungan, now a prosperous Santa Ana resident and rancher, proved that years have not dimmed the remarkable eye nor time deprived the power from his arms and shoulders that enabled him, year after year, to outhit the other big league players of his day.
"Dungan rapped out a two-bagger with two men on the cushions in the tenth inning. This blow broke up the game. Previously Dungan had smashed out three other bingles. Thus, Dungan of Santa Ana, the oldest man on the field in point of years, was the heaviest hitter just as he used to be years ago."
Dungan died in Santa Ana in 1939.

Harry Wright Returns to Cincinnati
In 1871, Harry Wright took several of his Red Stockings players, as well as the team name, moved to Boston and joined the newly formed National Association. Wright's exit from Cincinnati was contentious, but despite that he was invited back for an exhibition game in July between his former team and a "picked nine" consisting of the members of Wright's current team and the Washington Olympics.
Advertisement for the July 3, 1871, game
The Cincinnati Enquirer said the two thousand people in attendance indicated "that the interest in base-ball is not dead in this city, but only needs the stimulus of first-class games to awaken it to renewed life."
The paper said:
"The old Reds did not have the services of George Wright (who was injured), and did not play with the skill characteristic of them in 1868-'69, which may have been due to fact that there was nothing at stake than gate money."
Albert Spalding pitched for the "picked nine" and beat Wright's club, with Asa Brainard pitching, 15-13. The Enquirer said former Cincinnati players Cal McVey and Charlie Gould, who both joined Wright in Boston, "have improved in their batting powers."
Wright's team led 10 to 4 through five innings, but the opponents posted a five-run sixth which included a home run by Davy Force and added two in the seventh and three in the eighth.
The box score
One sign that all might not have yet been forgiven in Cincinnati: while Harry Wright was listed in the box score and the inning-by-inning recap of the game, The Enquirer didn't use his full name in any of the game advertisements or articles.
Professional baseball returned to Cincinnati in 1876 when the reds became an inaugural member of the National league.

1876 Salaries
In July of 1876, The Brooklyn Argus published the salaries of the two highest paid teams in the newly formed National League; many of these have never appeared in any of the collections of early baseball salaries.
According to the article, the highest paid player was Chicago White Stockings pitcher Albert Goodwill Spalding who "as pitcher and manager, receives $3,000 for the year, with $1,000 bonus for producing the secession from the Hub (Boston) to Chicago." (The 1950 book "100 Years of Baseball," by Lee Allen said Spalding earned $3,500 and a $500 bonus for the season).

In 1793, Célestine, the servant girl of the Café Théâtre saw Augustin and Charlotte Gouze whispering together at midnight about the imminent closure of the convents of Paris, a dechristianization of the Revolutionary France which was greatly upsetting for Augustin. The young girl gossiped it to the intendant, who subtly told her to mind her own business by asking her what she was doing out of her room at midnight.
Later, bottles from the wine cellar of the café were stolen and the cook lady reported it to the intendant, telling him that she had seen Mr. Colignon, the gardener recommended by Augustin near the cellar. The intendant spoke of the matter with Célestine who did not believe in the guilt of Colignon, saying that as a gardener he didn't have the key of the cellar. Still suspicious, the intendant asked Célestine to follow Grisier and see what he was doing outside of the Café, because he found him mysterious and did not like to know so little about someone living in his house.
Grisier is probably related or is loosely based on a famous fencing master of the same name born in 1791, Augustin-Edme-François Grisier, who was also known to be a good friend of the writer Alexandre Dumas, the son of Thomas-Alexandre Dumas.

Official: Besiktas sign Adriano
By livio - 29 July 2016, 16:55
Besiktas have completed the signing of full-back Adriano from Barcelona for an initial €600,000.
Adriano has put pen to paper on a three-year contract with Besiktas, who were crowned Turkish champions last season.
A statement on Barca's official website adds the club will be entitled to a further €1.1m if BJK qualify for the Champions League group stage in that time, before wishing the player "good luck" on his new challenge.
The 31-year-old joined Barca from Sevilla in 2010 and made 189 appearances for the Catalans, but his playing time decreased substantially in his final two seasons.

MILAN (Reuters) - The European Union expects a "substantial effort" from Italy on its upcoming budget law, European Commissioner for Economic and Financial Affairs Pierre Moscovici told the financial newspaper Il Sole 24 Ore on Friday.
Italy's anti-establishment government, made up of the 5-Star Movement and the League, will release its new gross domestic product and public finance targets in September. The cabinet will approve the budget in late October and send it to the EU Commission for its approval by the end of the month.
Investors are concerned that tax cuts and welfare spending proposed by the ruling coalition could push up Italy's debt, the heaviest among major euro zone economies.
Moscovici did not quantify what he meant by "substantial effort".
"It is in the interest of Italy to control public debt," Moscovici said, encouraging the Italian administration to work toward a "prudent budget which respects commitments and minimizes risks".
The country's debt burden is now 132 percent of GDP.
Moscovici added that the EU's limit on deficits of 3 percent deficit of GDP was "not a target but a roof". Surpassing it would create "difficulties that I do not even want to imagine", he said.
Rome has said it wants to keep its electoral pledges, including the approval of a minimum income for the poor and tax cuts, but Economy Minister Giovanni Tria has sought to reassure markets the new government is committed to cutting its debt.
The country's two deputy prime ministers, Luigi Di Maio and Matteo Salvini, have demanded that the EU let Italy pursue a more expansive budget. They have repeatedly said the best way to bring down debt is by investing more to boost economic growth, rather than trying to balance the budget each year.
Moscovici acknowledged that the upcoming negotiations with Italy would not be easy, but that he would work with the government in the most "serene and constructive way" and that Tria was a "serious and reasonable interlocutor".
But Moscovici added he could not "totally exclude" the possibility that there were politicians in the country that were willing to leave the euro.
"The euro envisages the respect of rules. If the rules are not respected it means wanting to leave the monetary union," he said.
