This Date in Pittsburgh Pirates History: October 12th, Joe Cronin and the Original Charlie Morton
Eight former Pittsburgh Pirates born on this date, including a Hall of Famer who got away.
Joe Cronin, infielder for the 1926-27 Pirates. He signed with Pittsburgh as a free agent in 1924 at 18 years old and played two seasons for the Pirates (1926-27) making his debut on April 29, 1926 at the age of nineteen. He was sent to the minors in early May of that 1926 season after just four games. When he returned the majors in late August, he almost immediately became the team's starting second baseman in the middle of a pennant race. The Pirates would lose the division to the St Louis Cardinals but Cronin played well, hitting .265 in 38 games. In 1927 the Pirates got Cronin into just 12 games and hit .227 in 22 at-bats. That's despite being healthy and on the active roster all season.
Just prior to the 1928 season started, the Pirates decided to sell Cronin to the Kansas City Blues of the American Association which obviously proved to be a bad idea. Just three months later the Washington Senators bought his contract and he was on the way to his Hall of Fame career. In 20 total seasons split between the Pirates, Senators and the Boston Red Sox, Cronin hit .301 over 2,124 games. He was a seven time All-Star despite the fact that the All-Star game wasn't first played until his eighth season in the majors. He was also a player-manager for 13 seasons and managed another two years, leading his teams to the AL pennant in 1933 and 1945. Here's an in depth article covering Cronin's time with the Pirates.
Casey McGehee, first baseman for the 2012 Pirates. In 92 games with the Pirates, he hit .230 with eight homers, before being traded to the New York Yankees at the trading deadline for Chad Qualls. McGehee batted .258 with 67 homers over 850 games and eight big league seasons, spending time with seven different clubs. The Pirates acquired him in the winter of 2011-12 in a trade with the Milwaukee Brewers for reliever Jose Veras. McGehee was originally a tenth round draft pick in 2003 by the Chicago Cubs, though he had his best years with the Brewers. In 2009, he finished fifth in the Rookie of the Year voting, and in 2010, he hit .285 with 23 homers and 104 RBIs. While most of his playing time with the Pirates came at first base, he played just 41 games at first base during the rest of his career. McGehee played 625 games at third base.
Joe Trimble, pitcher for the 1957 Pirates. He made four starts and a relief appearance during his one season in Pittsburgh, going 0-2, 8.24 in 19.2 innings. His only other big league experience was two shutout innings for the 1955 Boston Red Sox. He was actually a member of the Pirates system before his time with the Red Sox. Trimble originally signed with the Cincinnati Reds in 1951. He was released before making the majors, then signed with the Pirates in 1954. The Red Sox took him in the Rule 5 draft after the 1954 season, then returned him to the Pirates in 1955. Trimble appeared to be making the Pirates out of Spring Training in 1957, but a minor knee surgery kept him out of action for two months. His five appearances for the Pirates came between June 26th and July 14th. The final six batters he faced in the majors all reached base, four of them being former/future Pirates (Gus Bell, Jerry Lynch, Smoky Burgess, Ted Kluszewski). Trimble played one year in the minors (1958) before retiring.
Erv Brame, pitcher for the 1928-32 Pirates. He had a five-year career with quite a peak and drop. Playing only for the Pirates during his time in the majors, he finished with a 52-37, 4.76 record in 791.2 innings. Brame's peak was during the 1929-30 seasons, which is one of the best stretches for offense in baseball history. He went 33-19 during that time, averaging 232.2 innings per year. By 1932, his big league career was over, after he had a 7.41 ERA in 51 innings that season. The Pirates released him to Toronto of the International League in February of 1933. Brame finished up his pro career with three minor league seasons. He had a 9-21 record pitching in the International League in 1926, then went 18-9 the next season playing for the same team. It was said that his decline in 1931 was due to the flu, which kept him sidelined for six weeks, and he never fully recovered, losing velocity on his fastball. Brame was a two-pitch pitcher and his fastball was his best pitch, with a curve that was average at best. He was an outstanding hitting pitcher, which helped him stick around as long as he did. Brame batted .306 in 396 at-bats, with eight homers and 75 RBIs.
Jimmy Burke, infielder for the 1901-02 Pirates. When the Pirates were busy having their best season in franchise history in 1902, winning their second straight NL title, Burke split his time between five positions, hitting .296 in 60 games. That was well above his career marks in seven years in the majors, as he finished his career with a .295 OBP and .289 slugging percentage. Burke joined the Pirates late in the 1901 season and hit .196 in 14 games. He began the year in the American League, playing for the Milwaukee Brewers (current day Baltimore Orioles) and Chicago White Sox. Prior to that season, he had 15 games of big league time, playing 13 games for the 1898 Cleveland Spiders and two games for the 1899 St Louis Perfectos (Cardinals). The Pirates traded him after the 1902 season back to the St Louis Cardinals and he played three years before retiring as a player. Burke managed part of the 1905 season in St Louis, then in 1918, he moved across town and managed the St Louis Browns for three seasons. He also managed in the minors and coached in the majors.
Charlie Morton, outfielder for the 1882 Pittsburgh Alleghenys, the first Major League team in Pittsburgh history and the beginning point for the current Pittsburgh Pirates franchise. Morton was in the lineup for the first game in franchise history on May 2, 1882 which was also his big league debut. For the Alleghenys, he batted .282 in 25 games, while spending most of his time in center field. He finished the year as a member of the St Louis Brown Stockings and had just two hits in 32 at-bats. He played parts of two more seasons in the majors and hit .194 career in 88 games with no home runs. He managed three season in the majors and off and on in the minors until 1898. In 1884, he managed Toledo of the American Association, while also penciling his name in the lineup 32 times, despite a .162 batting average. The next season he was the Opening Day manager of the Detroit Wolverines, where the team went 7-31 before he was let go. Morton batted .177 in 22 games that season. While he has no stats listed prior to 1882, he was playing pro ball in Ohio (Cleveland/Akron) for at least three years before his debut with the Alleghenys at 27 years old.
Charles "Pop" Smith, shortstop for the 1885-89 Pittsburgh Alleghenys. He was the Opening Day shortstop for the 1887 Alleghenys, the first year that Pittsburgh played in the National League. Smith joined the franchise in October 1884 when he was purchased from the Columbus Buckeyes of the American Association. The Alleghenys received a total of ten players from Columbus, as the club folded. In fact, the Alleghenys were often referred to as the old Columbus team in 1885, so much so that articles from other cities often cited their teams performances against Columbus in the past instead of Pittsburgh. Smith stayed with the Alleghenys until he was sold off in July of 1889. In his five seasons in Pittsburgh. he hit just .220 over 557 games, but he had very good speed and played strong defense in the middle of the diamond, splitting his time between shortstop and second base. Smith was one of the first players born in Canada to play in the majors. He lasted 12 seasons in the big leagues playing 1,112 games, hitting .222 with 87 triples and 643 runs scored. He led all second basemen in assists in 1884 and 1885, then moved to shortstop in 1886 and led the league in fielding percentage. The Alleghenys parted ways with him at the perfect time. In 1890, he led NL second basemen in errors and he led the league in strikeouts as well. He played briefly in the majors in 1891, then continued his pro career in the minors, playing until 1899. He also served as a player/manager for three seasons in the minors.
Frank Ringo, catcher for the 1885-86 Pittsburgh Alleghenys. Ringo bounced around a lot during his brief career, playing for five teams in four years. He appeared in the National League during all four seasons and spent parts of three seasons in the American Association. He began the 1885 season with the Detroit Wolverines, playing for the aforementioned Charlie Morton. Detroit released him that season because of a drinking problem. He then played for Augusta of the Southern League for 13 games, where it was said that he hadn't touched a drop of alcohol since his early season incident. Ringo joined the Alleghenys on September 26th when the Augusta team disbanded for the season. He was joined by teammate/pitcher John Hofford in Pittsburgh. Ringo caught three games (all of Hofford's starts) over the final six days of the season, going 2-for-11 at the plate. In 1886, he played 15 games for Pittsburgh, splitting his time between first base and catcher. Those games at first base were the only ones he played there during his Major League career. Ringo hit .214 with five RBIs in 56 at-bats for the 1886 Alleghenys. On August 3rd, manager Horace Phillips released both Ringo and Hofford due to having too many men on the payroll at the time. They used just 20 players all season and not all of them were with the team on August 3rd. Ringo finished that season with the Kansas City Cowboys in the National League. That was the end of his big league career. Ringo played two more seasons in the minors, including 1887 with Kansas City in the Western League with Hofford as his teammate. That was before his life came to a tragic ending. Just before Opening Day in 1889, Ringo committed suicide by ingesting a lethal amount of morphine. He was just 28 years old.

Sibal calls for independent probe into Gujarat false encounters
Sibal's charge comes in the wake of the arrest of three police officials, including DG Vanzara, for the alleged murder of Sohrabuddin Sheikh, reports Saroj Nagi.
india Updated: Apr 25, 2007 22:08 IST
Saroj Nagi
The Congress began its media war against the BJP government in poll-bound Gujarat by calling on the Supreme Court to ensure an independent probe into all cases of alleged false encounters carried out in the state in the name of anti-terrorist campaigns.
"The nation must be secure from the threat of terrorists. It must also be secure from acts of terror perpetuated by some representatives of a brutalised police force under a dispensation which has no respect for the rule of law,'' said Union Minister Kapil Sibal who is part of the AICC's Media Committee for the states where assembly elections are to be held in 2007-08.
Sibal's charge came in the wake of the arrest of three police officials, including DG Vanzara, for the alleged murder of Sohrabuddin Sheikh. Sheikh was killed in an encounter following suspicion that he was a LeT operative. According to the minister, Vanzara's name has figured in half a dozen encounters.
Sibal maintained that while there should be zero tolerance against terrorists, it was the court's duty to probe the root cause of false encounters and ask whether these encounters were meant to send a message or make a statement and who benefited from them.
Sibal listed some queries that required investigation:
Encounter specialist DG Vanzara's personal assets and wealth in view of charges that he benefited monetarily with each death.
Whether requisite police procedures were followed when the alleged warnings of assassination of LK Advani, N Modi and Pravin Togadia came in and the records of the same.
Who were behind the false encounter?
Do they have a godfather and who is he?
Why were the Rajasthan and Andhra police involved?
Is Kauser Bi, wife of Sohrabuddin Sheikh who was killed in an encounter, alive or dead? Sheikh was a suspected LeT operative.

Q: Why Go is not being detected? I'm trying to install Go, gRPC and Protobuf but I cant even install Go in the first place.
I followed steps mentioned in this site:
https://tecadmin.net/install-go-on-centos/

My bash_profile file looks like this now:
http://prntscr.com/nf2bm9

And when I try to test go installation by typing "go version" in the console I get this error:
-bash: go: command not found

Where did I go wrong?
Note: I navigated to /usr/local/ to see if there is any go folder with files or not to confirm the files has been downloaded and moved at the right place.

A: Changes to your .bash_profile file only take effect after you relaunch the terminal.
source ~/.bash_profile will reload it in your current session, if you'd rather take that approach.

Spice up your landscape with splashes of annual flowers. Annuals are defined as herbaceous plants that live for only one year. Bedded out en masse, used in containers or interplanted between perennials, annuals add unmatchable color and vibrancy to the landscape.
Like all plants, annual flowers perform best when chosen for light and moisture conditions, as well as color, size, and form. While potted annual plants can be planted anytime to add instant color and refresh the garden throughout the summer and fall, seeds and small starts planted in spring catch up quickly and require less water to establish. With a little thought and planning, the four months of non-stop blooms and colors that annuals add to the landscape will be well worth the yearly investment required to plant them.
The luxury of replanting an entire flower bed each year with new combinations of annual flowers might be reserved for public gardens or an avid gardener's prized view. For me, this is the view I see from my kitchen window. Here I choose annuals for their exuberant color display and to attract hummingbirds, which I enjoy watching dart from flower to flower as I prepare our daily meals. But my favorite way to use annuals is to fill gaps and increase color volume in perennial gardens.
Annuals that share their space without demanding star status work to weave a mixed border together without looking out of place. The best annuals are drought-tolerant, repeat perennial flower shapes and sizes, and produce profusions of flowers without deadheading. For a tidy, colorful border, try edging your gardens with short mounding or spreading annual flowers.
Taller, upright annuals with slender spires, daisies, or clouds of airy flowers work well repeated through the garden to extend bloom time, fill holes, and add unity to the garden. Upright Fuchsia—particularly Garten Meister Fuchsia—Sun Coleus, Nicotiana, and Big Leaf Begonias are excellent for adding color and brightening the shade. Favorite specialty annuals sold potted include Salvia "Black and Blue," Salvia "Lady in Red," and Angelonia. Other great fillers such as zinnias, sunflowers, cosmos, Verbena bonariensis, and snapdragons are easy to grow from seed.
Starting annuals from seed is an easy way to enjoy an abundance of flowers with minimal investment. Try planting annual seeds in your garden this year and enjoy them for years to come by either helping them to re-seed or allowing them to self-seed in the garden.
Reseed with Help. Collect zinnia, marigold, cosmos, sunflower, and nasturtium seed heads in fall and store in a dry, cool place for winter. Then sow directly in the garden the following spring by scratching seeds into bare spots after danger of frost has passed.
Self-Seeders. Sweet Alyssum, Datura, Nicotiana sylvestris, Talinum, Helenium "Dakota Gold," Nigella, Verbena bonariensis, and Violas replant themselves for the following year. In the fall, leave seed heads standing and the flowers will do the work, or cut back flowers and sprinkle their seeds over the ground where you want them to grow next year. Edit seedlings the following spring by weeding out or transplanting the babies that come up in the wrong place.
Make a splash in your own garden by planting annual flowers. Planted from seed or added as potted plants, annuals can be bedded out en masse or used to fill gaps and bridge bloom times. Available in an incredible array of colors, sizes, and forms, the choices are endless. Bursting with joy and vitality, nothing compares to annual flowers for adding months of non-stop color to the summer landscape.

Kościół świętej Anny i Świętego Ducha – jeden z zabytkowych kościółów w Kazimierzu Dolnym. Obecnie jest to kościół filialny parafii św. Jana Chrzciciela i św. Bartłomieja Apostoła. Znajduje się na trasie szlaku Renesansu Lubelskiego.

Historia
Kościół rozpoczęto budować w 1649 roku pod kierunkiem prepozyta Jana Izidora de Flores i być może przy udziale architekta Piotra Likkiela, serwitora królewskiego, lecz ze względu na przerwy w budowie spowodowane "Potopem szwedzkim" samo ukończenie i konsekracja świątyni nastąpiła dopiero w 1671 roku. Kościół wzniesiono w miejscu wcześniejszej kaplicy św. Ducha.

Architektura

Budowla jest wzorowana na kościele parafialnym. Składa się z jednej nawy prostokątnej oraz węższego od nawy, półkoliście zamkniętego prezbiterium z zakrystią, pod którą znajduje się sklepione podziemie. Jest to świątynia wzniesiona w stylu renesansu lubelskiego. Mury zostały wykonane z kamienia wapiennego oraz z cegły. Otwory okienne są umieszczone w każdym polu między pilastrami ścian nawy oraz w co drugim polu ścian prezbiterium.
Szczyty nawy posiadają dekorację w stylu renesansowym podobną do frontowego szczytu kościoła parafialnego. Cztery pilastry szczytu zakończone są pinaklowymi sterczynami. Elewacje boczne nawy oraz ściany prezbiterium także ozdobione są pilastrami: po cztery pilastry na każdej elewacji bocznej nawy i osiem na ścianach prezbiterium. Nad ścianą tęczy jest umieszczona, tak jak w kościele parafialnym sygnaturka. Znajdujące się w nawie sklepienie beczkowe z lunetami ozdobione jest siatką sztukatorską, tak samo jak w kościele parafialnym, ale jest ona bardziej prosta i skromniejsza. Znajdujące się w prezbiterium sklepienie beczkowe posiada schodzące się lunety, szwy lunet są ozdobione dekoracją sztukatorską. Prezbiterium wewnątrz jest zakończone prostą ścianą, znajdującą się prostopadle do osi podłużnej świątyni, za którą są umieszczone, na dwóch poziomach w pseudo absydzie (o formie półkolistej): skarbiec i zakrystia. Wewnętrzne, drewniane wyposażenie świątyni pochodzi z XVII wieku, ale późniejsze przemalowania zeszpeciły jego wygląd.

Szpital
Obok kościoła zachował się budynek dawnego szpitala. Najstarszy z przekazów historycznych z 1530 roku dotyczy zapisu 50 grzywien przeznaczonych przez Stanisława Ruszkiewicza na szpital, zaś sam dokument dołączony został do erekcji wznoszonego od poł. XVII w. kościoła św. Anny. Pierwszy opis szpitala, powstały w 1603  r. przy okazji wizytacji biskupiej, zawierał m.in. informacje o ówczesnej rozbudowie budynku, dowodząc tym samym wcześniejszej metryki jego południowej części. Lata 1625-35 charakteryzowały się licznymi dotacjami na szpital dokonywanymi po zarazie z 1625 roku, a z którymi to przychodami wiąże się kolejną fazę w rozwoju budynku szpitalnego, tj. powstanie manierystycznego szczytu od strony ul. Lubelskiej. W latach 1947-48 nastąpiła odbudowa dawnego budynku szpitalnego po niewielkich zniszczeniach wojennych, a pomiędzy 1953 i 1957 rokiem jego adaptacja na Dom Kultury i bibliotekę.

Now that I've convinced you to stay at home and make any of my easy romantic meals for two, you're probably searching for easy romantic desserts for two, right?
In order for a dessert to make the 'easy' cut, it needs to contain only a few ingredients, be quick to make, and have a guaranteed success rate of 100%–no tricky cooking methods here! Bonus points if it can be made in advance, because there's nothing fun about stress-baking in front of your date. I would know. I've done it.
There's a 100% chance that you and your date will love this easy chocolate fondue for two. You can absolutely make it in advance, store it in the fridge and re-heat it. Raid your pantry for fun dippers like marshmallows and cookies, and let your date bring the fresh fruit.
Chocolate mousse is so impressive, and this one is easy AND impressive! If you can melt chocolate into butter and whip heavy cream, you've got mousse! This can also be made ahead of time, but be sure to bring it out of the fridge for an hour to soften before serving. Easy chocolate mousse for two.
Pressing caramel hearts into a pan of brownies is such an easy way to elevate regular brownies! Just try not to fight your partner over the brownies with the oozing caramel! Caramel brownies.
I happen to think that cookie bars are loads easier to make than actual cookies. There's no rolling of dough or required chill time, and you get more frosting per bite. That's an all-around win to me. Sugar Cookie Bars.
Instead of making dessert, what about drinking your dessert?! This rich Nutella martini has a Nutella rim with crushed raspberries, vodka, and Chambord. I like to float a few fresh raspberries in it, too. Nutella Raspberry Martini.
It can't get any easier than this S'mores Dip for two! Pile chocolate chips in a cast iron skillet, top with marshmallows, broil until golden brown, and use graham crackers to scoop it all up!
If dipping is your thing (and you don't mind double dipping with your dude), you have to make these chocolate caramel pretzel bites. The extra sprinkle of salt on top is too good!
Sometimes, simple is best. Like a store-bought frozen chocolate waffle stuffed with ice cream and dipped in chocolate. Optional roll in crushed freeze-dried raspberries, of course. Waffle Ice Cream Sandwiches.
This is my go-to easy dessert. If you can use a handheld mixer and whisk this all together in 5 minutes, you have the best, creamy cheesecake for two!
If you press regular chocolate chip cookie dough into two mini cast iron skillets, bake it, and top it with ice cream and chocolate sauce, you have something worth sharing with Cupid. Chocolate Chip Cookie Sundaes.
Because sometimes, simple is best. If your sweetie's favorite dessert is chocolate chip cookies, make these!
Admittedly, the hardest part about this recipe is finding dried rose petals for sprinkling on top. But they're so worth it! White Chocolate Rose Chocolate Bark.
When you'er in the mood for chocolate cake, but don't want to make a giant one, these two mini chocolate cakes in ramekins are just the thing!
Let's be real: red wine chocolate truffles is all it would take to make any of us happy on Valentine's Day. Truffles are deceptively simple: just heat, stir, chill and roll! You can't mess them up!
If you knew it was this easy to make fudge with just two ingredients (chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk), you would make it every day, wouldn't you? Easy romantic desserts are too fun!
The quintessential Valentine's Day dessert for two is chocolate lava cakes, and you need to master them now! Try making them tonight, a few days ahead of Valentine's Day (something you can totally do with dessert for two because of the lack of leftovers!). Plus, there's a how-to video in the post to walk you through it!
Ok, that's it, friends! I hope you have a great Valentine's Day at home with your loved ones! I hope these easy romantic desserts make it on your table!
Thank you for such wonderful ideas!
I am going to attempt to make a box of homemade candies for my hubby and daughter.

TOM Coupe moved to Australia from Belgium to experience a different part of the world and develop as a rugby player.
On Saturday, the power-packed No.8 helped steer Hamilton to a fourth straight premiership and collected the John Hipwell Medal for player of the match.
The 27-year-old was strong at the line-out, pilfered possession at the breakdown and made a series of busts early in the second half to put the Hawks on the front foot.
Coupe joined the Hawks on the recommendation of countryman and friend Mathieu Verschelden, who was a part of last year's premiership-winning side.
Verschelden, a rugged lock, left after one season but Coupe hopes to stay at least for a second campaign.

But for me it is good to be near God;
I have made the Lord God my refuge,
that I may tell of all your works.
(Psalms 73:28)
"Freely you received, freely give" (Matthew 10:8)
"Impossibilities through Him become possibilities; things unseemly become seemly; things human become divine" (Athanasius of Alexandria, On the Incarnation of the Word of God)
Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come here." The woman answered and said, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, "You have well said, 'I have no husband,' for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; in that you spoke truly." The woman said to Him, "Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet. Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where one ought to worship." Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father. You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." The woman said to Him, "I know that Messiah is coming" (who is called Christ). "When He comes, He will tell us all things." Jesus said to her, "I who speak to you am He."
- John 4:16-26
Yesterday we read that when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John (though Jesus Himself did not baptize, but His disciples), He left Judea and departed again to Galilee. But He needed to go through Samaria. So He came to a city of Samaria which is called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied from His journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour. A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give Me a drink." For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy food. Then the woman of Samaria said to Him, "How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?" For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans. Jesus answered and said to her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give Me a drink,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water." The woman said to Him, "Sir, You have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. Where then do You get that living water? Are You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, as well as his sons and his livestock?" Jesus answered and said to her, "Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life." The woman said to Him, "Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw."
Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come here." The woman answered and said, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, "You have well said, 'I have no husband,' for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; in that you spoke truly." The woman said to Him, "Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet." As Jesus perceived that this Samaritan woman was living with a man without being married, and because He knew of her string of husbands, the woman perceives that Jesus is a prophet. Because the Samaritans did not accept any prophets after Moses, they expected only the Messiah whom Moses foretold (Deuteronomy 18:15-18). This deep insight to the hearts of human beings -- which is given to us in many examples in the Gospels -- is an indication of His divine nature.
"Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where one ought to worship." Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father. You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews. But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." My study bible tells us that if Jesus were truly the expected Prophet, then He could be the one to settle the historical argument about where precisely worship was to take place. But Jesus refuses to answer this earthly question. Instead, the discussion is elevated to the manner in which people should worship. More importantly, Jesus turns the attention to the One who is worshiped: God. The Father is worshiped in spirit -- that is, in the Holy Spirit -- and in truth -- that is in Christ Himself (14:6), and also according to Christ's revelation. That God is Spirit confirms that God is not confined to a particular location. Those who receive the Holy Spirit and believe in Jesus Christ can worship God the Father with purity of heart, my study bible says. Jesus affirms that true revelation comes from Judaism, in saying that salvation is of the Jews. (We note that we should not conclude that no other religion contains truth; all may reach for the Person they do not know as Jesus, who is yet Truth.) But my study bible here quotes St. Athanasius, who gives us the building blocks of our true understanding of Christ: "The commonwealth of Israel was the school of the knowledge of God for all the nations." More importantly, what Jesus testifies to here is that the Messiah, who was prophesied among the Jews, has risen from among the Jews. While the gift of salvation in Christ is for all nations, it has come from within Judaism. The hour which Jesus notes here is that of the death and Resurrection of Christ and to the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, which inaugurates the worship of the new covenant.
The woman said to Him, "I know that Messiah is coming" (who is called Christ). "When He comes, He will tell us all things." Jesus said to her, "I who speak to you am He." Jesus' final revelatory sentence here (I who speak to you am He) is literally translated "IAM [in Greek ego eimi], who speak to you." That is the "I AM" which is the divine Name of God. Its use, my study bible says to us, indicates a theophany, a revelation of God. The use of this Name by a mere human being was considered blasphemy and was punishable by death (see 8:58; Mark 14:62). But Jesus is divine, and therefore His use of this Name reveals His unity with the Father and the Holy Spirit. In fact, He is God Incarnate.
It is significant that my study bible quotes St. Athanasius in commenting on our text today (he wrote, "The commonwealth of Israel was the school of the knowledge of God for all the nations"). St. Athanasius is also known as Athanasius the Great or Athanasius of Alexandria. He was the Archbishop of Alexandria. But more importantly for our consideration in today's reading, it was Athanasius who was known as the defender of the doctrine of the Incarnation; that is, that Jesus the Christ was fully human and also the only begotten Son of God. His work and thought was noted already within a decade of his death as being that of a pillar of the Church. He was foundational to the decisions of the Nicene Council. If we understand Christ in today's passage, then we understand His declaration to the Samaritan woman as a revelation of God: "begotten, not made" who is also Incarnate as human being. It simply cannot be underestimated that this powerful affirmation of Jesus' identity would be contested throughout the centuries of Christianity. It is foundational to the whole of our faith. And like the Crucifixion, we could also call it "a stumbling block and foolishness" (1 Corinthians 1:23), as this reality has been the most contested, and is the most central tenet of Christianity itself. St. Athanasius famously wrote (along with others expressing similar ideas and reasons), "The Word was made flesh in order that we might be made gods," meaning that in so doing, Christ assured us of the potential to be "like Him." This would include the promise we're given of everlasting life, and our participation in Him through the Eucharist. Among the many other reasons for our faith as stated in the Creed, here is an instance of Christ's own statements bearing witness to His identity. To those who understand the language of the Scriptures, there is no missing the statement of the Name of God, as was revealed to Moses, in the Greek ego eimi of Jesus' word to the Samaritan woman at the well. These words are the bedrock of our faith. Let us pay attention. Spoken to this particular woman at Jacob's well, they guarantee that this splendid, majestic, seemingly-impossible revelation is for all.

Bayern Munich defender Rafinha admits it won't be easy in the UEFA Champions League- UCL news
Bayern Munich defender Rafinha has admitted that UEFA Champions League this season will not be easy as Bayern Munich have been included in the Group of death in the draws in Monaco on Thursday. The Brazilian insisted that it will
be a very tough campaign in Europe as each team is capable to progress to the knock-out stages.
Bayern Munich were drawn in Group A in of the UEFA Champions League this season. The German side was placed with the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003 and Manchester City and the group is called as the 'Group of Death'. It is arguably
the toughest group in the competition and all teams are capable of finishing in the top two.
Rafinha admitted that it is a difficult group as there are some great teams apart from Bayern Munich. He insisted that the supporters will witness some great games in the future and added that Bayern cannot afford to be complacent.
"We know it's a difficult group because all the teams have qualities and not only ours but other groups also have their difficulties and who stands to gain from this are the fans which will see great games," he was quoted as saying
in an interview.
The Brazilian international claimed that it is hard to predict the winners of the group at this stage as all teams have the potential to go through. He added that Bayern utmost goal would be to progress to the knock-out phase after
winning the group.
"It is hard to point out which is the toughest team that we will face because each have their strengths and we know that will not be easy. But every game is a story and I believe that with hard work and commitment," he concluded.
The Bavarian giants will kick start their Champions League campaign against Villarreal CF at the El Madrigal in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 on September 14. The former European champions will face a tough task next when they face Manchester City at
Allianz Arena on September 27.

Rissi Palmer and Kelly McCartney introduce the Color Me Country Artist Fund
Singer-songwriter and Color Me Country radio host, Rissi Palmer, has announced her partnership with Kelly McCartney and the Rainey Day Fund to create the Color Me Country Artist Fund to provide financial support to underrepresented voices of BIPOC artists in country music. The Rainey Day Fund was created by McCartney to assist BIPOC, LGBTQ+ and disabled artists, as well as others who add to the rich fabric of roots music. With a similar mission, Palmer recognized a real problem in the country music industry. As a result, Color Me Country was born to bring Black, Indigenous, and Latinx histories of country music to the forefront that for too long have lived outside the spotlight and off mainstream airwaves.
"As an artist, I've experienced the highest of highs and lowest of lows. I know what it's like to have to choose between eating and paying rent, to work a 9-to-5, then pull an all-nighter in the studio to get closer to the dream of being a self-sustaining musician," says Palmer. "Any success I have achieved has been because of the kindness of others and their belief in me, and I want to pay it forward. The Color Me Country Artist Fund will be an extension of the work I do with my radio show to further the careers of artists of color in the country music space," Palmer continues. "I don't want anyone's dreams deferred because of financial hardships. 100% of the funds will go to artists in need. I thank Kelly McCartney and the Rainey Day Fund for planting the seed."
Palmer launched her Color Me Country radio show in August of this year. Some of her guests have included Miko Marks, Crystal Shawanda, Kamara Thomas, The War & Treaty, Mickey Guyton and Darius Rucker. The show airs every other Sunday on Apple Music Country at 8pET.
McCartney, who also hosts Southern Craft Radio on Apple Music, is a long-standing advocate for the BIPOC music community and a clear supporter of Color Me Country from its conception. She created the Rainey Day Fund in 2018 and set out on a mission to support marginalized artists.
"Between our seed funding and a recent donation from Brandi Carlile's Looking Out Foundation, we have gifted grants to Yola, Birds of Chicago, Tré Burt, Joy Oladokun, Brittney Spencer, Jontavious Willis, and others, while also creating an Indigenous Music Scholarship with Folk Alliance International," McCartney says of the Rainey Day Fund. "Seeing the work that Rissi was doing in the country music space, it just made sense to create a specific Color Me Country program to support the artists on those fringes, as well. Together, we're being the change we wish to see in the music world."

From Ontario to Arkansas to Indiana to Virginia, children learned the importance of eating healthy food and being active during the 7th Annual Healthy Al, Healthy Me Day! Stay tuned for pictures and stories of the fun they had!
February 17 is Random Act of Kindness Day. We see long lists of ideas for being kind and spreading acts of kindness. The ideas are wonderful and we think, "I could do that one, and that one, and maybe that one." But do we? The reality is that sometimes we get bogged down by the demands of everyday life – and there is a lot going on!
So what can we do to combat the day-to-day drag-down and promote positive energy and kindness? Let's start small, just with ourselves. Here are a few concrete, simple acts that we can each do, every day, right now.
Eye-to-eye: When you pass someone, look them in the eye and smile. It's amazing to see their face light up as they smile back – and they usually do.
"After you": Let someone go ahead of you in line – any line. At the coffee shop, in the grocery store, step back and gesture them in. Yes, you may be in a hurry, but it only adds a few minutes, and the goodwill lasts much longer, for both of you.
Help others: Keep a pack of bottled water in your car, and hand them out to folks on the corner asking for help.
Don't talk: Make an effort to really listen when someone is talking to you. Look at the person, nod your head, pay attention. And put your phone down. It lets that person know that you value their thoughts, and that you value them. And all we have to do is open our hearts and close our mouths.
Write it down: Leave a note on someone's keyboard, pillow, lunch box, steering wheel, or gym bag saying what you appreciate about them.
Be present: Put your phone away and make a connection. In person.
Be kind to yourself: In the midst of our busy lives, we sometimes forget to take care of ourselves. Remember that we cannot give what we do not have. If we are worn out and depleted, it's hard to give. Think about what restores you – slow, deep breaths, a quick nap, a soothing cup of tea, a brisk walk, positive thinking? Try to make it happen.
And let's keep it up beyond the day! When we are aware of how we interact with those around us, we can start a kindness revolution, an upward spiral of goodwill. Plus, we are modeling the kind of behavior we want our children to see and copy. So try to smile, listen, and connect. You will feel as good as the people you do it to!
Work an a project together – and have FUN, too!
Life is busy – regular everyday life. And this time of year gets even busier. The holidays can be wonderful – full of family gatherings, special traditions, and delicious food. But it can also mean having too much to do and feeling very stressed! How can we navigate this hectic time and find the balance we need for ourselves and our families?
One of the most important things a family can do is to make time to be together. Time when everyone is unplugged and present. Time when the focus is on conversation. Time to re-connect. This is an excellent stress reliever and helps family members feel close to one another. But how do we find that time?
Have a family meeting – get together over hot cocoa and graham crackers (without phones or devices). Start with each family member telling something kind or helpful another member of the family did for them. Talk about what is coming up that week. Schedule a Family Fun time – and it can be simple: block out half an hour to play a board game, go for a walk with flashlights, build a blanket fort, or color together. Having some simple, fun time together can make a big difference.
Eat together – one of the most important and beneficial things you can do with your children is have dinner together. Again, without any electronic devices or TV. Research shows children have a bigger vocabulary, do better in school, and even eat more fruits and vegetables when families have dinner together. And it doesn't have to be a home-cooked meal. It's the sitting down and eating together that's important.
Give back – brainstorm with your children ways to help others. Think of something you can do as a family – volunteer at a food pantry, go through toys together to find some to donate, fix a meal for a neighbor, or serve a meal at a shelter. Spending time helping others strengthens the family bond, supports the community, and sets a great example for kids.
Work together – take on some projects that you can all do like raking leaves, sorting laundry, or organizing books. Make it fun by singing or telling knock-knock jokes. If children help with household chores from an early age, it becomes the expected norm. And it increases their sense of belonging and of feeling valued.
Just say 'no' – you do not have to say yes to every invitation or event that comes along – even if it might be fun to do. You don't need to make excuses when you decline. A simple "We are not able to attend that evening" is fine. Scheduling time to not have plans is a splendid way to have some down time together. Treat that time like it's written in stone; everyone can relax and re-charge.
Plan now to make family time a priority. It doesn't have to be elaborate, or costly, or take a lot of time. It does need to be intentional and involve talking and listening. Everyone will feel more connected and better prepared to take on what life brings next.
The end of summer brings lots of changes. The weather gets cooler. The days get shorter. The leaves start to change color. Children start school. Or child care. Or have new teachers and classrooms. A lot of change.
While starting something new can be exciting and eagerly anticipated, it can also be scary for a child. Will my teacher like me? What are the rules? Will I know anybody? Where is the bathroom?
And it's not just the child having all the worries! Parents have them, too. How did my child grow up so fast? What if he doesn't like it? Will he have friends? How will I manage the school routine, soccer practice, my job, and everything else going on?
It can take weeks for children to become comfortable in a new environment.
When a child has to 'keep it together' all day, there may be melt-downs where it's safe (with you!) and they can let it all out. Anticipating this can help us be prepared to stay calm and supportive.
New behavioral issues may surface: a child who rarely cries may be quick to break down. An easy-going child may become grumpy and quick-tempered. Or a child may regress and say she can't get dressed on her own or pick up her toys anymore. Patience is the key here. Typically these behaviors won't last long.
Children will probably need more sleep, especially early on – adjusting to all that newness can be exhausting!
So how do we weather the stormy or even the sunny transitions?
Take your cues from your child. What questions is he asking? What is he worried about? What is he excited about? Help him identify his feelings and let him know those feelings are okay. He might be feeling anxious and eager. It is comforting for children to know that they can have more than one feeling at a time and that feelings can change quickly.
Be careful not to dismiss your child's feelings by saying things like, "Don't worry. Everything will be fine." While we want to be reassuring, it doesn't feel like everything will be fine at the moment. Instead, reflect the feelings you hear.
Tell a few positive stories about your early school days, or about a time you started something new (going to camp, joining an organization, changing jobs). And talk about times you felt scared or nervous and what you did to feel better. It helps to know that we are not the only ones who have felt this way.
To build skills that are helpful in a classroom, play games that involve taking turns, have rules, or require thinking before acting. Even good ol' Simon Says, Red Light – Green Light, and Mother May I help children develop self-control.
Keeping to a routine (as much as possible) is comforting to children. Try to hold the extra activities at a minimum those first few weeks. Allow for down time – over-scheduled kids can mean tired, frazzled, and tense kids. And parents!
Refrain from telling your child how much you will miss him. Instead, at the end of the day ask him to share one thing about his day, and you share something about your day as well.
Try to set aside a few minutes each day (without technology) to spend on an activity that your child chooses. That focused attention, even if it's brief, is reassuring for your child and makes him feel valued.
Sometimes in preparation for a transition like the start of a new school year, we focus all of our attention and energy on our child. If we are going to be supportive, we need to be aware of how WE are feeling, too. Young children are intuitive, and can pick up on adult worries and concerns. Whether you find comfort in talking with a friend, taking a walk, or just carving out a little 'me' time, try to take care of yourself, too. When we care for ourselves, we are often better emotionally equipped to have empathy for others.
Learn and practice steps designed to help you calm down when you feel yourself getting impatient or upset or even overly excited. Not only does this help you calm down, but you are modeling the use of a very helpful tool for your child. Teach it to them, too.
Stay in touch with your child's teacher. It can help to know how things are going from that perspective.
In the immediacy of everyday life with young children, finding ways to take care of yourself, will help you be a calm, loving presence with your child.
Starting anything new is challenging. Taking time to plan ahead and be prepared can result in a more confident, relaxed child who is ready to take on the world!
6th Annual Healthy Al, Healthy Me Day was a Blast!
How was your Healthy Al, Healthy Me Day?
The 6th Annual Healthy Al, Healthy Me Day was a great mix of moving, reading, experimenting, and learning! Early childhood programs around the country and in Bermuda danced, ran, tried new foods, read books, and played games.
The students at Lyceum Preschool in Bermuda enjoyed an interactive read-aloud by Mrs. Shavana Wilson. After doing about twenty minutes of exercise, students were given a healthy snack of fresh fruit kabobs and peanut butter and jelly rice cakes. Mrs. Kimwana Eve also presented all the students with their own Al's Pals t-shirts and water bottles.
Debbie Miller's class at Maymont School in Richmond Virginia read Al's Healthy Choices and talked about their favorite healthy food and how they stay active. Then they had a tasting party with cauliflower, snap peas, mango, red pepper, cara cara orange, and starfruit. Most were a big hit, but the starfruit was not very popular! Everyone was adventurous and willing to try new foods.
In Arkansas, at the North Little Rock School District, Whitney Addie's class celebrated Healthy Al, Healthy Me all week and tried different fruits and vegetables. The overall favorite was strawberries. After talking about how they grew and what they looked and tasted like, the children did a still-life drawing. Each child was excited about trying so many different fruits and veggies.

Angelette Pryor at Shady Grove Y in Richmond Virginia reports that Al was as popular as ever during the YMCA Healthy Kids Day. At the Al's Pals station kids made Al hats. This station is a calm spot among the busy, noisy stations. Several kids came to the calm down spot which had big pillows on a small rug with the Calm Down and Problem-solving posters there. They had current Al's Pals kids stop by as well as those who remembered Al from previous years.
The Grasshopper Class at St. James Child Development Center in Richmond Virginia did yoga poses and danced. The celebration fit right in with their focus for the month of April: exercise!
Ruby Allen's STEPS Head Start class in Charlotte Courthouse Virginia joined the celebration by having the children choose their favorite fruits and decorating them. The teachers used the fruits from the dramatic play center to continue the discussion of their favorites. They all enjoyed the celebration and had such fun – they can't wait until next year!
What will you put in your fruit salad?
At Michelle's Playland in Suffolk Virginia, they started their day with a discussion on the importance of healthy habits and taking care of their bodies. They exercised and danced to "Shakin' It" by Paragraph Express. They read Al's Healthy Choices – a couple of times! Their healthy morning snack was apples, cheese and crackers, and water. They were talking about butterflies that week, so their physical activity was moving like butterflies. That afternoon, their outdoor activity was to run races.
Enjoying a snack that tastes good, and is good for you, too!
Talking about making healthy choices.
So it was another great Healthy Al, Healthy Me Day! And remember that all the resources for these and other activities are always available here.
Ready or Not, Here Comes Kindergarten!
There's lots of talk about school readiness, but what does that really mean?
School readiness is more than basic knowledge of language and math, important as these are. Being ready for school means being ready in all areas: physical, cognitive, AND social-emotional. It also helps to come with a positive attitude toward learning.
There are many facets to helping a child prepare for success in school and summer is a good time to support your child's readiness. These tips can help make the transition a smooth one.
Lots of new experiences at school!
Helping hands. Have children take on more responsibility as a member of the household. Together with your child, come up with a list of chores that he can do this summer. Some ideas are tidying up his room, helping with meal clean-up, feeding and brushing a pet, sweeping the kitchen, sorting laundry, making his bed, putting away groceries, planning a meal. Children will have more responsibility at school, so this is good practice. And children thrive when they contribute to and feel like a part of a group.
Fine motor fun. Give children a chance to use scissors, glue, and paints, or build with small blocks or legos. These activities help with fine motor development and spark creativity.
I did it myself! Look for opportunities to let your child do more things herself. Can she order her own lunch, carry a tray, speak to the cashier or librarian, or pack and zip up her backpack? This builds independence and gives her the message that you believe she is capable.
Play. Games that have rules, require waiting, or involve counting are great for practicing self-control, understanding rules, and learning how to take turns. Old favorites like Red Light/Green Light, Mother May I, and Simon Says help children learn the difference between right and wrong, fairness, and delayed gratification.
Silence is golden. If your child is talkative, help him remember to share the talking time. Have a discussion about taking time to listen to others and waiting to talk sometimes. This is another opportunity to work on self-regulation – remembering to stop and think before speaking.
But why? Encourage curiosity, discovery, and exploration. Get books from the library on topics that your child asks questions about. Look things up online together. Try new foods – have taste tests with unusual fruits or vegetables. Be curious yourself and ask questions about how things work, or grow, or fly (weather, nature, animals, space).
Hit the books. Read, read, and read some more. Reading together promotes emerging literacy and language development. And research shows that reading to a child is the single most important activity for building the knowledge required for eventual success in reading. Plus that time together evokes warm feelings about reading and enriches your relationship with your child!
Teach kindness and friendship. When reading together or out in the real world, point out and talk about what it means to be a good friend. What does kindness look like? How do friends treat each other? Model kind acts by letting someone go ahead of you in line, keep bottled water in your car and hand them out to folks on the corner asking for help, visit a neighbor, take flowers to a friend for no reason.
Share your memories. Tell stories of starting school or talk about when you started something new. Certainly be genuine, but spend the most time on the positive parts of your experience: making new friends, learning cool things, getting new supplies.
Spend time together. Designate some time when there are no electronic devices and really connect. Spend 15 minutes doing whatever your child chooses (that doesn't involve technology!); try to have dinner together as often as possible (device-free); take advantage of time in the car to talk and sing together; make time to snuggle.
You child will appreciate your attention during any of these activities. Your positive attitude about starting school will set the tone and help to make it something to look forward to!
We've all done this, we all do this. Habits are hard to change.
What happened? The other grownup directly asked the child a question and the child didn't get a chance to answer for himself. No big deal, right? Actually, children benefit tremendously when they have more time to process questions before answering. Some adults do, too.
As adults we often experience this rushed world. We have become accustomed to immediate responses, instant gratification. At the coffee shop, we expect our order lickity split. At work, or even socially, some people jump in immediately with ideas or suggestions. Others may have equally valuable ideas but may not articulate them as quickly. We all process information in our own individual way. It's important to honor a variety of personalities with varying degrees of willingness to speak up in a group.
Let's go back to the child. The value in giving the child 5-7 extra seconds to form their own response is immensely more powerful to that child's individual development than saving 5 seconds and answering for them.
Why is wait time for a child important? What's the big deal?
Having the support from a valued adult helps a child feel more comfortable thinking for himself and speaking up.
We are modeling that we value other people's ideas and thoughts.
Thinking and speaking on one's own terms builds self-esteem and confidence. This. Is. Huge.
Practicing wait time for children to respond is a valuable form of respect.
Waiting helps the child who needs more time to process and form a response.
If children are always spoken for, they may begin to believe they are unable to speak for themselves. They may believe their thoughts are not valuable.
Research shows that when a teacher asks a question, the average wait time is one second or less. But when teachers purposely wait a minimum of five or more seconds after a question, children give higher quality and more substantive answers, their self-confidence increases, and they interact with one another to advance discussion. What's more, children reluctant to raise their hands begin to participate.
So what can we adults do to intentionally give a child time to respond?
Believe in your mind and heart that the child can think and speak independently.
Show on your face that you believe the child can express himself independently.
Say nothing and allow the child 5-7 seconds to think and respond.
Look at the child. This will help the other adult also look at the child and wait for the child's answer.
For a child who is particularly reserved, it might help to gently prompt or coach, after giving him ample wait time.
What if the child's response isn't true or isn't right?
Ask them more questions! This can be an opportunity to gauge their level of understanding or reality.
Is it hurting anyone? If not, it's probably fine if they answer incorrectly.
Are they using their imagination? Childhood is for fun, for learning through play, and it's a time to make mistakes and figure out reasons.
Now back to habits… It is tricky to hold back from answering for the child if you are constantly doing it. Perhaps it's a cultural norm, perhaps it's a pet peeve. If we can begin by being aware that we're not giving children wait time, that's a step!
Sure, there will be times that you ARE in a hurry and can't wait a few extra seconds for a child to respond independently. That's okay, forgive yourself. Barely anything about caring for children is realistic with ALWAYS or NEVER.
Here's a challenge: try it out, ask a child a question and wait much longer than feels comfortable, maybe 7 seconds. What do you notice?
I'd love to hear your thoughts and observations!

Donating in memory is an excellent way to help keep alive the kindness and good nature of a loved one who has passed away. If someone close to you was a supporter of the Family Holiday Association, or simply wanted to do something to make the world a fairer place, then setting up a memorial fund is a great way to celebrate their life and continue their generosity.
There are a few ways that you can donate to the Family Holiday Association in memory.
Setting up an interactive memorial page online is an increasingly popular way of giving in memory of a loved one. A website such as Memory Giving works in partnership with leading UK funeral companies to create personalised fund pages as an extension of the client service. As friends and family visit the page to pay their respects, they can make a donation quickly, easily and securely.
Another is to organise a collection in the name of your loved one at their funeral or memorial service. We at the Family Holiday Association can help with this by sending you supporting materials.
One more way to donate in memory is to make a regular or single donation on behalf of your loved one.
However much you are able to raise, you can be sure it will go a long way.

Ousted executive Carlos Ghosn sues Nissan, Mitsubishi
Sean Szymkowski July 23, 2019 Comment Now!
The former Renault-Nissan Alliance chairman, Carlos Ghosn, has fired back at his former employer with a lawsuit.
According to The Financial Times (subscription required) in a report last Thursday, Ghosn is suing Nissan and Mitsubishi Motors in The Netherlands. A joint venture called Nissan-Mitsubishi BV (NMBV) employed Ghosn as chairman when the Renault-Nissan alliance created the entity in 2017. The Renault-Nissan alliance acquired a controlling stake in Mitsubishi in 2016.
Details provided in the report claim Ghosn is suing over improper termination from the joint venture for $16.73 million at current exchange rates. The joint venture, set up in the Netherlands, follows a certain dismissal process under Dutch law. Ghosn and his lawyers assert Nissan and Mitsubishi did not follow protocol in terminating the executive. Allegedly, the entity did not provide any evidence surrounding allegations of taking payments from NMBV. The payments were made between April and November of 2018 and an internal investigation did not find the reason why Ghosn used NMBV to receive funds. Ghosn filed the lawsuit in late June.
The payments were supposedly in exchange for Ghosn heading up the joint venture as managing director. The investigation reportedly did find the entire process was invalid because an unauthorized Nissan official signed off on the agreement. Other Mitsubishi board members were not involved in the payments for Ghosn's employment, per the report.
Nissan, Renault, and Mitsubishi have so far not shared evidence of Ghosn's alleged crimes with Ghosn, and this new lawsuit is part of a legal strategy to change that. While the lawsuit has nothing to do with the financial crimes Ghosn is accused of committing, his team hopes to gain access to any documents Nissan and Mitsubishi may have compiled. Additionally, the court challenge may compel Hiroto Saikawa, Nissan CEO, and Mitsubishi chairman Osamu Masuko to testify in a Dutch court.
Ghosn is currently out of jail on bail in Tokyo. He's accused of misreporting income to financial regulators, transferring personal losses onto Nissan's corporate books, and most recently, transferring corporate funds for his own personal use. Ghosn vehemently denies all charges.

Vlad Murnikov and I have been friends for many years. I met Vlad shortly after he set up shop in the U.S. following his 1989 Whitbread Round the World Race adventure on Fazisi, an 82-foot radical offshore racing machine. Vlad does not design "out of the box" because I'm not sure he even knows there is a box. Looking at the newest America's Cup monohulls I can see elements of design that Vlad was proposing five years ago. So when Vlad sent me these images and said, "I have put my whole heart and soul into this design," I quickly paid attention.
Obviously this is not a boat for everyone. The estimated cost is $12 million so that would eliminate me as a buyer. But we live in a world where technology is venerated by many and I can think of some people who would be very attracted to this vessel. I suppose you could call it a "cruising cat" but that may depend on your definition of "cruising." I just look at the drawings and think of it as an amazing big catamaran.
Curved foils are used to develop lift to reduce displacement and provide resistance to leeway. Fully deployed, the foils are capable of reducing the total displacement by 75%. But this is not a fully foiling hull. At max foil lift there would still be some hull left in the water. This will reduce the chance of pitchpoling. My wife really hates it when we are sailing along and all of a sudden we pitchpole. "You do that one more time!" The trunks for the foils are designed to allow adjustment of the foil to optimize the angle of incidence for either upwind or down. There is a very slight bulge in the hull sides to allow for this.
The client for this design did not want accommodations for a crowd. (My kind of guy.) There are staterooms for two couples with the owner's stateroom taking up the entire port hull. There is both shower stall and bathtub in the port hull. To starboard there is another stateroom with adjoining head and shower. Forward of this there are accommodations for four crew with another head and shower.
The saloon is huge! The galley is huge! You could dance a wild Mazurka in there. But the exciting part of the saloon is the double step-up command center. There are seats for observers and a pilot chair at an array of electronic nav and control gear that makes this look more like the cockpit of an airplane than a helm position on a boat. This is the only steering station although Vlad says he could work in a cockpit steering station on your boat if you like. The aft deck is an extension of the saloon and it is covered for sun and rain protection. You step down from this deck to a broad and deep boarding area.
The rig is two independent, two-part wing sails on unstayed rotating masts. There are several advantages to having twin masts. It gets the center of pressure down to reduce the heeling moment. It is a lighter rig than one, big single unstayed mast. The masts are stepped on each hull rather than on a connecting beam. This reduces the loads on the beam considerably and again reduces weight. The two-part wing sail features a rigid forward section and an aft section that can be lowered or reefed. Each sail will have independent controls. I wonder what life at the dock or the hook is like with masts like this. I don't have that experience. I like doing 20 knots but not while anchored. I'm not sure SA/D as we calculate it is even relevant to this design but using the standard formula the SA/D is 35.54. With a number like that there will be no "light-air performance." This boat will create its own apparent wind.
I don't know what to say about the styling. Vlad likes low windage shapes. He has done just about everything in terms of shaping this structure to reduce windage. In a word it's "sleek." But it's more than that. It's also "playful." It's a good example of Vlad's flare with the art of the design process.
Construction would be all carbon fiber infused over a foam core. Using pre-preg carbon (carbon fiber combined with heat activated epoxy) would further reduce weight but add very considerably to the build cost and complexity.
I can't wait to see photos of this boat under sail.

Headline NFL Players Sports Agents
On To The Next One: Cornelius Edison
Post author By Cameron Chung
Sep 7, 2013; Berkeley, CA, USA; California Golden Bears defensive lineman Deandre Coleman (91) holds off Portland State Vikings offensive linesman Cornelius Edison (77) and offensive linesman Mitch Gaulke (66) during the first quarter at Memorial Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Kelley L Cox-USA TODAY Sports
Cornelius Edison, a center for the Chicago Bears, has found new representation after his first year in the NFL. Edison has signed with Mook Williams of Symmetry. He was previously represented by Evan Brennan and Brian Adkins of 7 Sports Group.
Edison just finished his first season with the Bears after going undrafted out of Portland State University. While at Portland State, Edison emerged as one of the top lineman in the FCS. After his senior season at Portland State, Edison won the Rimington award as the division's top center. The 6'3, 295 lb lineman earned his way on to the practice squad as an undrafted free agent and looks to have a bright future ahead of him as he's only 22 years old.
Symmetry was created by Mook Williams and Brian McLaughlin in 2011 after the two left National Sports Management. One of their clients, Matt Paradis had a breakout season as the center for the Super Bowl Champion Denver Broncos. Interestingly enough, Paradis was on the Broncos practice squad last year. Can Edison have the same level of success in his 2nd year with the Bears?
