The Argonauts Club was an Australian children's radio program, first broadcast in 1933 on ABC Radio Melbourne. Its format was devised by Nina Murdoch who had run the station's Children's Hour as "Pat". The show was discontinued in 1934 when Nina moved to Adelaide. The format was revived on 7 January 1941 as a segment of ABC's Children's Session and broadcast nationally except in Western Australia where the two hour time difference made a local production more attractive. From 6 September 1954 it was called the Children's Hour, running from 5 to 6pm. It became one of the ABC's most popular programs, running six days a week for 28 years until October 1969, when it was broadcast only on Sundays and was finally discontinued in 1972.

The Children's Session
Following a decision of ABC General Manager (later Sir) Charles Moses, the Children's Session was instituted as a national program by the ABC in 1939 by Frank D Clewlow who was then Controller of Productions (i.e. director of drama and light entertainment). His protegee Ida Elizabeth Osbourne was appointed as its first presenter, as "Elizabeth". When she married in 1952, and was forced to leave as was then Public Service policy, the position was taken by "Nan" (Margaret Dalton).

The Children's Session was co-hosted from 1940 by London-born Scot Atholl Fleming, as "Mac" or "Tavish McTavish". His most durable co-presenters were the painter Albert Collins ("Joe"), then after his death the actor John Ewart, called "Jimmy" or "Little Jimmy Hawkins". The fourth member of the 'on-air' team was always female, again having an 'on-air' pseudonym. Some, perhaps most, are listed below.

Theme music
The Children's Session opened with the theme song by the Jim Davidson Dance Band, written by Elizabeth Osbourne with music by Wally Portingale:
Come, Old Mother Hubbard and Jack and Jill
And Tom the Piper's son
Leave your cupboard forget your spill
We're going to have some fun
The wireless says to hurry and run
To leave your games and toys;
The wireless says the time has come
For all the girls and boys.
So come with a hop, a skip and a run,
It's time for the Session, it's time for the fun."
and the team would introduce themselves with some light-hearted banter in keeping with their 'on-air' personas, followed by entertainment arranged roughly in order of audience age.

The Muddle-Headed Wombat
The first segment for most of the show's history was a dramatised series by Ruth Park, originally The Wideawake Bunyip, with "Joe" Albert Collins in the title role. When he died, in 1951, Ruth changed the title to  The Muddle-Headed Wombat, with Leonard Teale the first to play the part. When Leonard left, John Ewart "Jimmy" made it his for the next 20 years. The part of his friend "Mouse" in both incarnations was played by the current female co-presenter. When John Appleton was made Supervisor of Children's Programs and keen to be involved, a part "Tabby Cat" was created for him.  The popularity of the series led Ruth Park to write her series of Muddle-Headed Wombat books in the 1960s.

Entertainment
The remainder of the 'session' was given over to a variety of entertainments depending on the day of the week:
"singos" (singalongs), stories or skits by the team in their studio personas, written by Atholl Fleming or G. K. Saunders involving perhaps a confrontation with the studio supervisor 'Stewed Soup' or discovery of a secret passage from the studio.

On Tuesdays, "Orpheus" (baritone Harold Williams) would sing a segment from opera, a ballad like The Golden Vanity or Up from Somerset or fun song such as "One Fish Ball" or "The Green-eyed Dragon with Thirteen Tails" Harold had perfect diction and wide range of expression, so children clearly heard what he was singing about.

The finale was a serialised book dramatisation, usually by an Australian author such as Ivan Southall. This included dramatised versions of Southall's early semi-autobiographical war novel Simon Black in Coastal Command, telling the exploits and hardships of the RAAF crews of Short 'Sunderland' flying boats, patrolling the Bay of Biscay and the Western Approaches, hunting German u-boats, and Southall's sequel science fiction novel Simon Black in Antarctica, in which Simon Black and his team flew a futuristic jet-rocket hybrid to a hidden valley in Antarctica, warmed by geothermal springs, where a remnant community of Neanderthal people was discovered.
An early success was Budge (later and better known as Budge's Gang) with actors Ron Rousel (as "Budge"), Rodney Jacobs (as "Tubby"), Peter Dunstan or David Stout (as "Snick"), Patricia Crocker (as "Dolly") and Queenie Ashton (as Budge's mother). John Meillon was a later addition to the gang, and Morris Unicomb is also known to have taken part. The show, scripted by John MacLeod, was the basis of a series of illustrated books published by the ABC.
G K Saunders' The Moonflower and The Nomads and Coral Lansbury's first published play The Red Mountain were written for the Children's Session.

The program ended with the closing theme (again composed by Elizabeth and Wally Portingale):
A jolly good night to you and you and you and you and you
The time has come to greet the end, the session now is through
The thought is old, is old, is old but the wish tonight is new –
A jolly good night to every one
A jolly good night to every one
A jolly good night to all especially you :And you and you and you ... and you.

Culture
On different days, experts would talk about their specialties, particularly in relation to Argonauts' contributions:
Monday: Alan Colefax ("Tom the Naturalist") on nature and wildlife
Tuesday: Albert Collins, later Jeffrey Smart, as "Phidias" on art and painting
Wednesday: A. D. Hope ("Antony Inkwell") or Leslie Luscombe ("Argus") or John Gunn ("Icarus") on writing and literature
Thursday: Lindley Evans ("Mr Melody Man"), introduced by a few bars of Anatoly Lyadov's The Music Box, played and spoke on music performance and composition.
Guests on his segment included basso Alexander Kipnis, oboist Léon Goossens, singer Joan Hammond, pianist Geoffrey Parsons, conductor Richard Bonynge, French horn virtuoso Barry Tuckwell, violinist Patricia Tuckwell (sister of Barry) and conductor-composer Malcolm Williamson. Several of these were Argonauts in their younger days.
Friday was The Argosy, entirely devoted to members' contributions selected from the many thousands that might have arrived in the previous month, usually on a particular theme.
Saturday featured Argonaut Charades when the three-syllable word and the skits leading to its solution were outlined by club members and played by professional actors

The Argonauts
The Argonauts Club was open to Australian boys and girls aged from 7 to 17. It proved hugely popular with young Australians: by 1950 there were over 50,000 members, with 10,000 new members joining each year through the 1950s (national membership reached 43,000 in 1953). Applications for membership (and subsequent contributions) were made by post. The new member received an enamelled badge and handsome membership certificate with the Pledge (brought over from 1931):

Before the sun and night and the blue sea, I vow
To stand faithfully by all that is brave and beautiful;
To seek adventure and having discovered aught of wonder, or delight, of merriment or loveliness,
To share it freely with my comrades, the Band of Happy Rowers.

and the new member's allocated pseudonym (Ship name and number) were sent out to the new member. With no indication given of age, sex or origin, the only comparisons that could be made were between contributions; the members' only competitors were themselves.

A card system held the member's real name and address and Club name and number, together with a record of contributions and awards. The Club encouraged children's contributions of writing, music, poetry and art. Contributions from members were awarded Blue Certificates (worth 1 point) or Purple Certificates for particularly impressive work worth 3. Members reaching 6 points redeemed the tear-off ends for a book prize. Higher achievements won for the member a title to be attached to their Ship Name and Number: The Order of the Dragon's Tooth for 150 points and The Order of the Golden Fleece for 400 points. A further award Golden Fleece and Bar (for 600 points) was instituted later to cater for particularly talented and industrious Argonauts. The certificates were designed by "Joe". Reading of the 'Log of Progress', when these awards were announced, was an essential part of Club business.

Throughout the Argonauts Club segment, the studio team strictly adhered to the policy of only using Club names. So Atholl Fleming was 'Jason', Elizabeth Osbourne was Argo 1. Some others are given below.

The segment was opened and closed with a specially commissioned theme written by Elizabeth Osbourne and Cecil Fraser and sung by Harold Williams and the male members of the ABC Wireless Singers
Fifty mighty Argonauts, bending to the oars,
Today will go adventuring to yet uncharted shores.
Fifty young adventurers today set forth and so
We cry with Jason "Man the boats, and Row! Row! Row!"
Row! Row! Merry oarsmen, Row!
That dangers lie ahead we know, we know.
But bend with all your might
As you sail into the night
And wrong will bow to right "Jason" cry,
Adventure know,
Argonauts Row! Row! Row!

A further touch was a call to sick members: "The Ship of Limping Men", as notified by parents. Whenever possible, Atholl Fleming would visit Argonauts who were seriously ill in hospital.

On Saturdays a major segment was the Argonauts Brains Trust

From December 1944, the ABC Weekly carried an Argonauts' Page devoted to selected contributions from members and relevant news items. A prominent contributor was one Ithome 32, now known as Barry Humphries, creator of "Edna Everage".

Annual 'live' productions of the Children's Session (and Argonauts Club) were a feature of Royal Shows in each State from 1947. The showground in each Capital City had its own purpose-built ABC studio, double-glazed on three sides.

Publications
Eight annuals were published:
 A.B.C. Children's Hour Annual #1 1956. The Educational Press Pty Ltd. (printed by Cumberland Newspapers, Parramatta)
 A.B.C. Children's Hour Annual #2 1957 The Educational Press Pty Ltd. (printed by Cumberland Newspapers, Parramatta)
 A.B.C. Children's Hour Annual #3 1958 The Educational Press Pty Ltd.  (printed by Halstead Press, Sydney)
 A.B.C. Children's Hour Annual #4 1960 The Educational Press Pty Ltd. (printed by Halstead Press, Sydney)
 A.B.C. Children's Hour Annual #5 1961 The Educational Press Pty Ltd.  (printed by Halstead Press, Sydney)

Retitled:
 The Australian Children's Annual # 6 – # 8 ed. T. S. Hepworth. 1963–1965. Angus and Robertson, Sydney.

The Introduction to Annual # 6 (1963) advises readers that it contains contributions from 'your friends from the A.B.C. Children's Hour and The Australian Children's Newspaper '. The Introduction also states that 'There are over 70,000 children ... in the Argonaut's Club ...'

At least three 'collaborative' children's books were published:

 Dangerous Secret (ABC, 1960) ed. John Gunn (Icarus)
 The Gold Smugglers (ABC, 1962) ed. John Gunn (Icarus)
 The Gravity Stealers (ABC, 1965) ed. John Gunn (Icarus)

These books were works of fiction, with an Australian theme and edited by Tom Stanley Hepworth who also edited The Australian Children's Newspaper – a publication of Educational Press Pty Ltd. Argonauts contributed a chapter for each stage of the plot, and the best was selected by Icarus for the final book. The illustrations were selected by the same process, under the guidance of Phidias (Jeffrey Smart).

These publications seem to break the 'anonymity' rule of the club: the names of the successful contributors are listed, instead of their ship number. In the case of The Gold Smugglers, a thumbnail photo and brief biography is included as well. This book (1962) states 'There are close on 100,000 members of the Argonaut's Club.'

If your company is grappling with the shift towards wireless connectivity and automation, you're certainly not alone. As more processes are automated, especially within industrial markets like oil and gas or utilities, data has become a valuable asset that provides critical information for operations and performance. Up and coming industry leaders are pushing for modern Industrial IoT (IIoT) networks, as the older, more traditional workforce heads towards retirement. As a result, the processes of yesterday are being phased out – especially when it comes to choosing between hardwire and wireless for remote deployments.
For many, wireless solutions have been accepted for some time as the primary means in which data is collected, transported and analyzed. Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS)-based technology in particular is proven to be a reliable and maintainable wireless option. Now, however, we are facing an entirely new realm of opportunity with FHSS-based programmable wireless technology that is molding the future of data collection.
Bring it all to the Cloud – Programmable wireless solutions are equipped with the ability to incorporate custom, third party applications at the Edge. When we talk about the Edge, we essentially mean the outermost layer of the network. For industrial networks, the Edge is often a remote area where mission critical operations occur. In order for the business to capture a holistic view of their entire network, many have added sensors and other data-capturing devices at the Edge. By adding third party applications with new programmable wireless technology, businesses are able to expand automation capabilities, reduces costs, simplify operations and enable data transmission directly to a private or public cloud.
Smart Data Over Big Data – The goal of achieving 'Big Data' is common practice in most modern IoT and IIoT networks. Decision makers recognize the power of data and know they need to receive it from every network end-point. We've seen this to be true purely in the proliferation of sensors and IoT devices deployed across the U.S. that continues to grow. Having programmability at the edge of the network offers a big advantage, because you have the ability to control of the quality of the data. Even better than Big Data is access to the specific, timely data that is most pertinent to your business operations.
Robust and Reliable Technology: Programmable wireless solutions are equipped to embrace the future of data collection. The beautiful thing about these solutions is that the backbone of the technology is FHSS. This particular Radio Frequency (RF) technology has been proven in some of the most adverse conditions imaginable. These technologies are trusted by the government to maintain their links and have proven to operate in some of the most dreadful and intense environments in the world . Where performance is critical – these solutions have proven to work for decades and now programmable options can reliably bring this data directly to the cloud.
Flexible and customizable– We are all privy to the fact that no two networks are the same. With programmable options, radio functionality is customizable to the specific needs of the network. Despite the variances, remote networks likely have one thing in common – data needs to be transported across significant distances. Programmable wireless technology is built to be deployed at nearly any point in the network where sensors are collecting data. This is an area in which traditional hardwire solutions almost always fall short, as most businesses cannot afford the cost of running hardwire to these remotes sites. Besides, there are wireless options that are built for easy installation and long-range communications that simply make the most sense for remote deployments.
Meeting Modern Demands– Today, IT and OT departments are one in the same. These modern networks eliminate barriers which is conceptually great for operations. However, like any major disruption, convergence has created a number of challenges from visibility, to cultural difference, to security. To ease some of these tensions, modern wireless solutions are designed to drive connectivity for the entire network, and are even able to tie in legacy systems from the field. Many FHSS-based technologies offer secure-data transmission, and by leveraging the programmable wireless technology, and you can bring data to the cloud.
Wireless technology is recognized as a necessary solution for remote operations. As IIoT networks mature, there are stark advantages in leveraging programmable solutions. Not only do they rack up cost savings and streamline operations, but they are deployed at the edge of the network with minimal hassle and are built to deliver in any environment.

21 Bold Predictions for 2021
By Dave Fleming
Twenty-one bold predictions for 2021. And, as always, you're invited to post your own predictions in the comments below, and we can check back on our collective prognostical power at the end of the year.
1. Carlos Correa has a better year than Francisco Lindor
Francisco Lindor's red-hot spring, combined with the Mets efforts to get him inked to a long-term deal before he hits free agency, have made the former Cleveland shortstop a popular preseason MVP candidate. But I'm guessing that Houston shortstop Carlos Correa will be the shortstop who has the big breakout 2021, posting the kind of season we've been waiting for since he won the Rookie-of-the-Year award back in 2015.
As for Lindor: if he doesn't sign an extension with the Mets prior to Opening Day, I think he'll regret it. While Lindor is a terrific all-round player, he is coming off consecutive seasons with a .335 on-base percentage, and he'll be playing his home games in a pitcher-friendly park. I expect a decline in his batting numbers this year.
2. Aaron Civale will pace the AL in quality starts in 2021.
Civale, my baseball obsession from last season, notched seven quality starts last year, trailing teammate Shane Bieber's ten. But he actually threw 6+ innings in all of his starts except the last one, when he got hammered by the Pirates. I'm guessing that the crafty right-hander - who is one of the most entertaining pitchers in the game to watch - has a big year in 2021.
3. The Brewers win 100 regular season games.
If the season goes the full 162 games, here's a guess that the Brewers are the team that runs away from the pack and hides. Christian Yelich hitting .205 obscured some really impressive pitching performances, particularly from starters Corbin Burnes and Brandon Woodruff. Add in a spectacular bullpen, and I'm going with the Brew Crew takes control of a mediocre division.
4. Yu Darvish throws two no-hitters.
One no-hitter isn't sufficiently bold, so let's go ahead and give the Whirling Darvish a couple no-hitters on the season. Everyone knows that Nolan Ryan, Halladay, and Scherzer had multiple no-hitters in a season, and Johnny Vander Meer went back-to-back. Who are the other two pitchers to pull off the trick?
5. Randy Arozarena doesn't crack 20 HR.
Counting his bonkers playoff performance, the Rays outfielder swatted 17 homeruns in 43 games last year, which projects to something in the ballpark of 1,649 homeruns over a full season. Just to be a downer, I'm taking the under on everyone's excitement about what he might do in a regular season.
6. Junior passes Senior.
I am more bullish on the younger Vlad Guerrero. Vlad Sr. hit a career-high 44 homeruns in 2000: I'm going to guess that Impaler-the-Younger will eclipses that mark and hits at least 45 homeruns in 2021. He is a good candidate to lead the AL in RBI's, too.
7. Gary Sanchez leads the Yankees in HR.
Speaking of optimistic takes on power hitters, I'll toss out Gary Sanchez to out-dinger Judge, Stanton, and Voit, and pace the Bronx Bombers in…bombs.
Sanchez has about as awful a 2020 season as any player could imagine, so this will require a considerable rebound from the still-very-bad-at-catching catcher. But Sanchez has twice posted 30+ HR seasons in his short and rocky career, and more spells at DH could give him a chance to outpace his more recognized teammates.
8. Zack Greinke wins twenty games.
About the only box that Zack Greinke hasn't ticked on his Hall-of-Fame resume is a 20-win season. It won't matter - Greinke is a shoo-in for Cooperstown – but here's a guess that 2021 is the season baseball's cerebral stranger crosses the old-time measure for pitching effectiveness, and wins 20.
9. German Marquez has a better road ERA than the NL Cy Young winner.
Not as bold as you might think: Marquez posted a 2.06 ERA on the road last season, and is (quietly) one of the best young starting pitchers in the NL. He'll have a hard time winning hardware in the high altitudes of Denver, but he's an underrecognized talent who is quickly staking his claim as the best pitcher in the franchise's dismal pitching history.
10. Cavan Biggio will lead the majors in bases on balls runs scored.
I though leading the majors in walks was a little too obvious, as Biggio has already established himself as a premier walker, collecting 112 walks in 159 career games. So we'll do one better and project that those walks will translate to runs scored, and Biggio will break the 24-year drought of having a person named Biggio atop the runs leaderboard.
11. Mike Trout plays in the World Series…
This is a bold prediction, as the Angels are only a bubble playoff team, and not well-designed to run the table in playoff baseball. But I am contractually obligated to make a bold Mike Trout prediction every year, so that's my guess for this year.
So how will he get there?
12. …Because Shohei Ohtani wins the MVP.
Let's go ahead and predict that Shohei Ohtani breaks our collective minds by combining 120 innings of solid pitching with a breakout season at the plate. With the Angels sneaking into the playoffs, the writers will credit Ohtani for stabilizing a rotation while giving Trout with some much-needed help on offense.
13. Mookie Betts will not be the worst hitter against left-handed pitcher in 2021.
Mookie Betts, an overrated player justifiably punished by the BABIP Gods for leaving Fenway Park, will see his triple-slash line of .200/.313/.218 improve at least slightly in 2021. And if that it not sufficiently bold, I will double-down on my optimism and hazard that old #50 will improve on his 2020 tally of extra-base hits against southpaws (one) in the coming season.
14. Slam-Diego Slammers are in for a decline.
Here's a guess: the four best hitters on the Padres last season will all see declines in their OPS+ in 2021. That's Wil Myers (162), Manny Machado (161), Tatis Jr. (157) and Eric Hosmer (134). All will have lower adjusted OPS tallies in 2021.
And it probably won't matter too much: this is a terrific baseball team.
15. Brad Keller leads the AL in WHIP.
Brad Keller is another not-hard-throwing pitcher that I have more affection for than I perhaps should. He's twenty-five and unknown, but he's managed a career 3.50 ERA over three seasons, and he was quietly effective over the short 2020 year, posting a 2.47 ERA and a WHIP of 1.02. He doesn't strike out a lot of hitters, but he keeps the ball in the yard and doesn't walk too many hitters, so here's a guess that the Royals Opening Day starter gets some Black Ink on his Baseball-Reference page.
16. The Oakland A's finish under .500.
The A's managed to finish twelve games above .500 last year, a remarkable feat considering that they played a 60-game season, and they are projected to remain competitive this year. But a rebounding Houston and an upstart Angels team are going to knock the Bay Area club back a little in 2021.
17. Mike Yastrzemski has a better OPS+ than any Carl Yastrzemski season except that season.
This probably isn't as bold as it seems: Yaz's best OPS+ season - outside his epic 1967 Triple Crown year - was a 177 mark in 1970. Mike Yaz nearly matched that last year, posting an impressive 166 mark over the short season. While the odds favor a regression for the Red Sox legend's grandson, we'll go ahead and project another stride forward for the Giants outfielder.
18. Joey Gallo hits 60 homeruns.
It isn't shaping up to be an exciting season in Arlington, but Joey Gallo has revamped his approach to hitting after a rough 2020 season, and the results have been excellent this spring. Here's guessing the Texas slugger posts a big year.
19. Trevor Bauer gets traded.
This is just an absolute, off-the-wall guess, and I'm not sure, given the complexities of his three-year contract, if it is even possible, but I'll throw it out there anyway. Bauer…traded.
20. Ozzie Albies wins the NL batting title.
Albies had strange platoon splits last year: after bashing .335 off southpaws in 2018 and .389 in 2019, Albies saw his average against lefties drop to a dismal .214 mark last year. But what he lost to lefties he gained against righthanders, hitting a career-best .289. If he maintains his gains against righthanders and comes back to clobbering lefties, he's snag his first batting title.
21. The Mets win the World Series.
Not that bold a prediction, I guess, but picking anyone other than the Dodges or San Diego seems like a lunatic proposition these days.
So let's hear your predictions, and have a great Opening Day!
David Fleming is a writer in southwestern Virginia. He welcomes comments, questions, and suggestions here and at dfleming1986@yahoo.com.
Just wanted to point out that Correa has a high career OPS+ than Lindor, and the two players have almost identical career OPS. Not very bold!
10:42 AM Apr 5th
No data, just a bad feeling which is common for Twins fans. Twins won't make the playoffs this year. But, on the good side, they won't add to consecutive playoff game streak losses this year, either.
6:37 PM Apr 2nd
DaveFleming
One day in, at least Gary Sanchez is holding his own. Can't say the same for Brad Keller.
I thought about giving Mookie a couple perfectos (his BB-Ref page credits him with three) but I've probably spent too much time writing about his bowling. His splits last year were very much a small-sample-size thing, though he also struggled against lefties in the postseason. Still, he's too smart/talented to not figure out an adjustment.
It's like Trout. The most recent line is you can beat him upstairs. I was watching the White Sox broadcast and they made that point when he had two strikes, and the pitcher threw a fastball upstairs and he smoked it: foul, but hard. There's no book for guys like Trout or Mookie.
To Mikewright's point: Albies is absolutely a different hitter from the right side, and it'll be interesting if he gives up hitting left-handed altogether. Help me out: who are some hitters who gave up switch hitting early in their careers, and how did it work out for them? Anyone have any memories?
8:22 AM Apr 2nd

Johnny Vander Meer threw those back-to-back to hitters in 1938 for the Cincinnat Reds.
Nolan Ryan of the California Angels threw the first two of his record seven in 1973.
Roy Halliday of the Phillies threw no-hitters in both a regular season and playoffs in 2010.
Max Scherzer threw two for the Washington Nationals in 2015.
6:23 PM Apr 1st
ajmilner
Not only did Virgil Trucks throw two no-hitters in a season, as BobGill pointed out, he went 5-19 that season.
I love me some Albies, but his splits were freak occurrences last year. He's just a different hitter right handed. I'd rather he give up switch hitting, but if he won't he should never try to pull the bill hitting left handed and make contact.
OBS2.0
re: Bauer's contract. I don't know if the actual contracts are made public? I saw one place that there was something in a trade clause about whether he was in the running for the Cy Young. But AP has it like this:
""Bauer has a limited no-trade provision that requires his consent to be dealt to an American League team from opening day through the All-Star Game. He has a contingent limited no-trade provision for the rest of each season requiring his approval to be dealt to an AL team if he is an All-Star, has thrown more than 80 innings before the All-Star Game or pitches at least one inning in each start before the All-Star Game.""
Seems like somebody realllly wants to make the All Star game and win another Cy Young, since he only has one of each at Age 30. He doesn't notch those up, his optouts and market value 2024 will be notsohotso.
Sorta interesting to speculate whether he would have made the All Star game in 2020's "season" Halfway through (yeah, only 6 starts) he was only 3-2 and at least four NL pitchers had lower ERAs...deGrom, Darvish, Lamet and fellow 2019 All Star Sonny Gray, who would have siphoned off votes.
Are the full text of contracts released?
While not in one year, it should be mentioned that deadball era no-hitters were thrown by guys named Pud, Noodles and Bumpus. Because it just should.
benhurwitz
I'm on the record as being a big fan of this series of season predictions (and follow-ups!), so thanks for another one. That said, I was disappointed at the Mookie Betts "prediction", so I will supply a better one for you: Mookie Betts will complement Yu Darvish's performances by bowling two 300 games. You're welcome.
12:31 PM Apr 1st
GuillermoMountain
Mookie's career OPS vs. LHP including last year is .888 (.897 vs. RHP). Is there some reason to believe last season's small sample of 55 PA indicates a sudden inability to hit lefthanded pitching? My bold prediction is that Mookie has a normal platoon split for a right handed batter over the full season, with a better OPS against lefties.
BobGill
About the question in No. 4: I think Allie Reynolds and Virgil Trucks are the other two. Both did it in the early 1950s -- 1951 and '52, maybe.
8:55 AM Apr 1st
Wow on Betts.
An MVP-2 and Silver Slugger who batted .200	/.313/.218/.531 against lefties.
His righty OPS was almost exactly double his lefty: .531 to 1.061
Your best column ever!!

I love your Angel comments. I think Ohtani will have a breakout year. From your thoughts to God's ear.

Baskwel History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
Baskwel is a name of ancient Norman origin. It arrived in England with the Norman Conquest of 1066. The Baskwel family lived in Herefordshire, although the name is derived from the area of the family's residence sometime prior to the 1066 invasion. The family was formerly from Boscherville in Eure, Normandy. [1]
The name of this town comes from the Old Northern French elements bochet, which means copse or thicket, and ville, which means town.
Early Origins of the Baskwel family
The surname Baskwel was first found in Herefordshire, where "the family of Baskerville is one of the most ancient and honourable in England, and from the time of it's Norman patriarch, has continued to hold the highest position amongst the great landed proprietors. It's earliest residence was the castle of Erdisley." [2]
Of this line one of the earliest records of the name was Sir Richard Baskerville of Erdisley who represented the county of Hereford in parliament in 1295. His wife was daughter of Rees ap Griffith, Prince of South Wales. [2]
Roger de Bascheruilla was listed in Gloucestershire in 1127. [3] Shropshire had the following early records: Roger de Bascrevill (reign of Henry III); and Nesta de Baskervill. The Hundredorum Rolls of 1273 listed Hugh de Baskerville in Shropshire. [3]
Some of the family have been well established at Winterbourne-Basset since early times. "Some property here formerly possessed by the Baskervilles has descended to Lord Holland. The church is a small ancient edifice with a neat tower, containing portions in the early and later English styles; it has a handsomely carved font, and in one of the aisles is a singularly elegant window: the chief monuments are of the family of Baskerville, who long resided here." [4]
Important Dates for the Baskwel family
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Baskwel research. Another 126 words (9 lines of text) covering the years 1922, 1936, 1295, 1314, 1315, 1572, 1597, 1592, 1615, 1640, 1597, 1668, 1630, 1720, 1574 and 1641 are included under the topic Early Baskwel History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Baskwel Spelling Variations
Multitudes of spelling variations are a hallmark of Anglo Norman names. Most of these names evolved in the 11th and 12th century, in the time after the Normans introduced their own Norman French language into a country where Old and Middle English had no spelling rules and the languages of the court were French and Latin. To make matters worse, medieval scribes spelled words according to sound, so names frequently appeared differently in the various documents in which they were recorded. The name was spelled Baskerville, Baskervile, Baskervill, Baskerfield, Baskervyle, Basquill and many more.
Early Notables of the Baskwel family (pre 1700)
Outstanding amongst the family at this time was Sir Richard Baskerville, Member of Parliament for Hereford in 1295; Sir John Baskerville of Combe who served in the retinue of Henry V. at the battle of Agincourt; Richard de Baskervill, High Sheriff of Herefordshire (1314-1315); Thomas Baskerville (died 1572), MP for Worcestershire; Sir Thomas Baskerville (died 1597), an English general and Member of Parliament for Carmarthen borough in 1592; Francis Baskerville (born...
Another 70 words (5 lines of text) are included under the topic Early Baskwel Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Migration of the Baskwel family to Ireland
Some of the Baskwel family moved to Ireland, but this topic is not covered in this excerpt. More information about their life in Ireland is included in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Migration of the Baskwel family
Because of this political and religious unrest within English society, many people decided to immigrate to the colonies. Families left for Ireland, North America, and Australia in enormous numbers, travelling at high cost in extremely inhospitable conditions. The New World in particular was a desirable destination, but the long voyage caused many to arrive sick and starving. Those who made it, though, were welcomed by opportunities far greater than they had known at home in England. Many of these families went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States. Analysis of immigration records indicates that some of the first North American immigrants bore the name Baskwel or a variant listed above: Mary and Robert Baskerville who settled in Virginia in 1635; Richard Baskerville who settled in New England in 1634. A Baskerfield settled in Heatherton in the St. Georges district of Newfoundland..

Wrote score for "Meet Me In St. Louis"
Hugh Martin was born in Birmingham, Alabama on August 11, 1914, and began studying music at the age 5 at the Birmingham Conservatory of Music. He attended Birmingham. Southern College and his original intention was to be a classical musician, but he had fallen in love with George Gershwin's songs, and decided on a career in popular music.
Moving to New York City in the mid 1930's, Martin worked as a vocal arranger for many of the most successful Broadway shows of the period, including Cole Porter's DuBarry Was a Lady (1939), Vernon Duke's Cabin in the Sky (1940), Rodgers and Hart's The Boys from Syracuse (1942), Jule Styne's High Button Shoes (1947), and Jules Styne's Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1949).
In 1937, in addition to doing the show's vocal arrangements, he was a singer in the Broadway production Hooray For What?. Another singer in that show was Ralph Blane. Not long after the opening of the show, Martin organized a vocal quartet called The Martins, and he included Blane as one of the singers. The Martins appeared on Fred Allen's popular radio show and also appeared in Irving Berlin's 1940 musical Louisiana Purchase, for which Martin and Blane were the vocal arrangers.
Soon, Martin and Blane began collaborating on songs of their own, and in 1941 Richard Rodgers and George Abbot, chose Martin and Blane to write the songs for a new Broadway musical to star Nancy Walker. The show was called Best Foot Forward, and included the standards "Buckle Down Winsocki", "Wish I May", "What Do You Think I Am", "That's How I Love The Blues", and "Ev'ry Time".
In 1944, Martin and Blane wrote the original songs for the classic Hollywood musical Meet Me In St. Louis, starring Judy Garland. The score that contains what are probably their best known songs, including "'The Boy Next Door", "The Trolley Song" and "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas."
In 1945, Martin and Blane wrote "Love" for Lena Home to sing in the film Ziegfield Follies. In 1948, working alone, Martin wrote both words and music for the Broadway show Look Ma, I'm Dancin'. The show starred Nancy Walker and included the songs "Tiny Room" and "If You'll Be Mine". In 1951 he again worked alone on both words and music for another Broadway show Make a Wish, which included "What I Was Warned About".
Re-teaming with Blane in 1955, the two wrote the song "An Occasional Man" for the film The Girl Rush. In 1961, there was a revival of Best Foot Forward, which included a new song "You Are For Loving", written by Martin and Blane.
In 1964, Martin began collaborating with songwriter Timothy Gray. The two produced a new Broadway musical High Spirits, based on a Noel Coward play Blithe Spirits. The musical was a hit and included several brilliant songs, most notably "I Know Your Heart", "If I Gave You", and "You'd Better Love Me".
Throughout his career, Martin remained active as a performer, most memorably as Judy Garland's accompanist when she first played the Palace, and as Eddie Fisher's accompanist at London's Palladium. He was also music director of the 1979 Broadway hit Sugar Babies, which starred Mickey Rooney.
Hugh Martin currently resides in Encinitas, California.

The prisoners whose scorched bodies were carried out piece by piece on Thursday morning from a charred Honduran prison had been locked inside an overcrowded penitentiary where most inmates had never been charged, let alone convicted, according to an internal Honduran government report.
American country's capital were either awaiting trial or being held as suspected gang members, according to a report sent by the Honduran government this month to the United Nations.
A fire started by an inmate tore through the prison, burning and suffocating screaming men in their locked cells as rescuers desperately searched for keys. Officials confirmed 358 dead, making it the world's deadliest prison fire in a century.

D'Anta Johnson has gone from ballboy to superstar for the Dinwiddie County (VA) High School football team. Next fall, Johnson hopes to make the leap from prep standout to major college contributor at East Carolina.
The 6-foot-2, 275-pound defensive tackle made a verbal commitment to the Pirates on Halloween during a ceremony at Dinwiddie's auditorium. Flanked by his family, Johnson gave a short speech before unzipping his jacket to reveal an ECU T-shirt. Family members followed by revealing identical ECU T-shirts and hats.
"Tae,'' as Johnson is known to friends and family, chose East Carolina over offers from Central Florida, Coastal Carolina, Delaware, Delaware State, James Madison, Kent State, Liberty and Villanova.
D'Anta "Tae" Johnson (Twitter.com)
ECU defensive line coach Jeff Hanson, who has been recruiting the Richmond-metro area for many years, played a big role in landing Johnson, according to Dinwiddie coach Billy Mills.
"We've always had a good relationship with Coach Hanson and he's done a great job recruiting our kids,'' Mills said. "He is always honest, and I appreciate that as a coach. But that being said, this was all D'Anta. When he and his parents visited (ECU) in the spring they really liked it. Of course, I encouraged him to make sure he visited all the schools who offered him and he did that. The only place he didn't go was Central Florida, and nothing against them, it was just too far away from home.
"He's a very intelligent kid. He knew where he wanted to go and pulled the trigger. East Carolina is getting a good one.''
Mills has had a front-row seat to Johnson's development. Johnson was a fixture around the Dinwiddie program long before he reached the high school. At age 11, Johnson served as ball boy for the 2013 Dinwiddie varsity squad that finished 15-0 and won the Virginia State 4-A championship.
But the Dinwiddie coaching staff was exposed to Johnson's talents even earlier.
"We have a (youth) program that starts with six-year-olds," Mills said. "We only have one county (high) school, so everybody plays in that youth league, and a lot of the coaches on my staff help out. Then he was our ball boy when he was 10 or 11 for our state championship team in 2013. So he's been around our program and our coaches forever."
Arriving at Dinwiddie High in the fall of 2016, Johnson spent his freshman year on the junior varsity before making an impressive debut on the varsity as both an offensive and defensive lineman. But it was on defense where he made 29 tackles and nine tackles for loss in just seven games that caught Mills' attention.
"There are certain things about kids that are capable of playing at that (college) level that you just know after this (coaching) a long time," Mills said. "When you see that fast twitch and explosion, we saw flashes of that with D'Anta. It was just a matter of him learning the Xs and Os of football. Once he did that, he flourished."
Johnson emerged as one of the Richmond metro areas top defenders as a junior. Playing 12 games for an 11-2 team, Johnson collected 61 tackles, 19 tackles for loss and three sacks. The highlight of the season for Johnson occurred in the third game, a 27-20 win against Salem, when he made 11 tackles and had five tackles for loss.
Even bigger dominance was on display by Johnson this season through Dinwiddie's first 10 games. He's recorded 69 total tackles with a team-high 24 tackles for loss and 12 sacks. Six of those sacks came in a single game against Petersburg when he collected 10 total tackles in a 37-20 victory. Johnson recorded a season-high 12 tackles in a 27-24 loss against Prince George.
Mills noted a great example of what Johnson has been doing on defense this year occurred in a recent 63-0 win against Meadowbrook.
"They tried to double team him," MIlls said. "But he split the double team and hit the kid (runner) three yards deep in the backfield. He hit him so hard he knocked his helmet off. He's just done a lot of great stuff like that."
Johnson is almost as accomplished on the wrestling mat as he is on the football field. He produced a 47-1 record in the 285-pound weight class, won the 4-B Regional title and finished third in the Class 4 state meet after losing a 3-2 decision in the semifinals.
If that wasn't enough, Johnson also was an all-region selection in track where he competes in the shot and discus.
For all those exploits, Johnson was named Dinwiddie's Male Athlete of the Year in 2018.
"He does everything," MIlls said.
Johnson is the latest player to join East Carolina's recruiting Class of 2020, bringing the total of prospects to 22. He is the fourth defensive lineman, joining tackle Xavier McIver from Cheraw, SC, tackle J'Vian McCray from Shallotte, NC, end Jason Romero from Laurinburg, NC, and junior college end Elijah Robinson who is playing at Louisburg College.

The Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday visited a Dalit family and had lunch at their home in Ayodhya, amid 72-hour ban on campaigning imposed on him by the Election Commission of India. Adityanath also met Nazia, a triple talaq victim, along with his sister, at his official residence in the morning. He assured them of all the possible assistance from his side.
Nazia, who hails from Uttar Pradesh's Gonda district said, "I was beaten up and thrown out of my house by my husband and in-laws. Besides, my husband also married another woman. I came here to seek help from the chief minister." "They also threatened that if I stay in my husband's place, they'll both burn me and my daughter alive. That's why, I have gone to my own house," she added. The EC had, on Monday, barred Adityanath from campaigning for 72-hours for violating the model code of conduct (MCC). The Lok Sabha elections are being held from April 11 and will go on till May 19 in seven phases. The polls in Uttar Pradesh will be held in all the seven phases. The counting of votes will take place on May 23.

Your Vietnam voyage promises to be all the more exhilarating with a remarkable, memorable excursion into the depths of this awe-inspiring limestone apparition of Halong Bay.
Set off from Hanoi along the southeast of Red River Delta to The 8th wonder of the world Halong bay which literally means "Descending dragon" by crossing through lush rice paddies, then Mao Khe and Uong Bi coal zones.
Arrival at Tuan Chau port around noon to board the cruise ship. A subtle blend of traditional and contemporary decor, our boat was conceived and designed to meet the standards of beauty required of such an alluring location. The crew greets you on board with a welcome drink while the captain sets sail.
After settling into your cabin, the activities of the day will be well introduced to you. Then, lunch, a succulent serving of seafood, served in our panoramic-view restaurant, is an indulgence to be savored. Not only sense of taste, but also that of sight is aroused by gazing upon the majestic karst landscapes through which we sail. The upper deck allows for a spectacular 360- degree view.
Ho Dong Tien is a cave protected and conserved by the local management board and still be unprecedented. There is no electric light inside the cave, some areas have no light so we have to use flashlight instead. Especially, since this site is new wild, very few amount of tourists have known about it. We spend about 45 minutes at this authentic nature's gift.
Then, about one hour remaining, we head towards Trong Cave which is an area for kayaking with much wider zone for paddling and the landscape is not hidden from view as in the Luon Cave's area. Gliding along the bay in absolute quietude, one can more fully appreciate the myriad of limestone formations.
We kayak back to our boat to pursue our voyage and drop anchor to the spot 587 Nha Lat. Under clear skies, the upper deck offers a vista onto the magical performance of the sun descending below the horizon of the violet sea, creating a whole palette of incandescent colors.
Fresh fruits are served to recharge your energy before enjoying dinner.
Dinner will be a gastronomical experience of meticulously prepared seafood dishes.
Welcoming the dawn with a session of Tai Chi on the upper deck.
With coffee & tea and assorted homemade pastries.
Return to the boat and continue your exploration to make it to Soi Sim island, where we have the option to swim or climb to the island's peak for a breathtaking panoramic view of the bay.
11.15Disembark and drive back to Hanoi.
After lunch, it is time to bid farewell to the crew and to prepare for disembarkation, reminding of your memorable trip in Halong bay.
Wi-Fi is available in the restaurant / bar, but internet connectivity is limited due to Halong's geography.

Aurelia Meijer Is a Breath of Fresh Air for Penn State Field Hockey
Photo via Cardoni
When Aurelia Meijer came to Penn State in the fall of 2015, it wasn't just her first time on a college campus. It was her first time ever stepping foot in the United States.
Meijer, a standout midfielder/forward on the Nittany Lion field hockey team, holds the distinction of being the first foreign-born player in program history. Born in South Africa, Meijer has lived in the Netherlands since she was 4.
It was not long after that Meijer started playing field hockey. She picked up the game after watching her father play in the country's highest men's league and her grandfather play for the national team in the Netherlands. The Meijers even have a turf next to their house in the Dutch municipality of Hattem, where you can watch the family play and work on their skills.
Basically, field hockey—in addition to being part of the cultural identity of the Netherlands—has been a constant presence in Meijer's life from the time she was a child.
So it only makes sense that Meijer is really good at the sport. When she was 15, (more…)

A Championship and a Record for Penn State Field Hockey
Photo via GoPSUSports
Penn State field hockey won the Big Ten Tournament over the weekend, marking the first time since 2012 that the Nittany Lions have won the tournament and earned an automatic NCAA Tournament berth. Head coach Charlene Morett-Curtis '79 led her squad to victory over Maryland in the championship game, 2-1, thanks to goals from Aurelia Meijer and Gini Bramley.
This win was significant for more than one reason: It marked the 500th win in Morett-Curtis' time at the helm of Penn State's field hockey program, making her the third coach in school history to win at least 500 games along with women's volleyball coach Russ Rose (1,207) and men's volleyball coach Mark Pavlik (522).
The Lions will kick off NCAA Tournament play on Nov. 12, taking on Princeton at the Penn State Field Hockey Complex at 11:30 a.m. The two teams played earlier this season and the Nittany Lions came out on top, 4-2.

Penn State Field Hockey Player Aurelia Meijer Gave the Best Interview Ever
What does happiness sound like? Watch our interview with @PennStateFH's Aurelia Meijer after her game-winning goal https://t.co/o7Jcpa7o6V
— Big Ten Network (@BigTenNetwork) October 23, 2015
Watching the joy in an athlete's face after a big win is one of the best things about sports. This was on display last week after Penn State's field hockey team took down Iowa, 3-2. All three goals were scored by freshman midfielder/forward Aurelia Meijer, including the game-winner as time expired.
Afterward, Meijer – a native of South Africa and the first international player in program history – did an interview with the Big Ten Network. Meijer had a smile on her face as she broke down each of her three goals in detail. She also talked about her brief time at Penn State, which led to the BTN announcer calling her "a breath of fresh air."

Laser skin rejuvenation treatment can help reduce signs of facial aging, including sun damage, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and fatigue. Our experienced plastic surgeon, Dr. John P. Zimmermann, employs state-of-the-art laser techniques at our practice, including the ActiveFX™ system. The ActiveFX™ system is a non-surgical cosmetic enhancement technique designed to renew your skin and give it a healthier, more vibrant appearance.
Laser skin resurfacing treatments can also be performed in conjunction with surgical procedures such as facelift or blepharoplasty for a more complete cosmetic makeover. During your initial consultation with Dr. Zimmermann, he will discuss all aspects of treatment with you and help you determine if laser skin resurfacing is right for your goals.
Laser skin resurfacing involves the gentle elimination of damaged outer layers of the skin to reveal the healthier skin underneath. The ActiveFX™ laser releases pulses of laser energy deep into the targeted areas to encourage collagen growth for a more refreshed, energized appearance. Laser skin resurfacing has become so advanced, it is now more possible than ever to precisely target the affected areas of skin while leaving surrounding healthy tissues unharmed.
Laser skin resurfacing can be performed on an outpatient basis and may require several treatment sessions to give you the best results. Each session can take 15 minutes to an hour, depending on the number and size of the treatment areas.
If you have any questions about laser skin resurfacing, or if you would like to schedule a consultation with Dr. Zimmermann, please contact the Aesthetic Surgery Center of Napa Valley today.

AlzAuthors Cares During the Covid-19 Crisis, Offers Free Anthologies
by Press Release | Mar 26, 2020 | News
The Covid-19 crisis is disrupting lives all over the world. With 80 confirmed cases in Mecklenburg County as of Sunday, and the numbers rising every day, caregivers of those with Alzheimer's and dementia are hit particularly hard. Caregivers are becoming more isolated as families are encouraged to stay at home, businesses and restaurants have closed, and support groups are unable to meet. AlzAuthors, a global community of authors writing about Alzheimer's and dementia, wants to help by offering free copies of their anthologies, Alzheimer's and Dementia Caregiving Stories.
"Our hearts go out to our global community during this pandemic," says director Ann Campanella, a Davidson graduate and author of the Alzheimer's memoir Motherhood: Lost and Found. "Our management team is spread across the United States and Canada, and many of us are under stay-at-home orders. As daughters of dementia, we share an understanding of the unique challenges and pressures facing those caring for people living with Alzheimer's and dementia, but the limitations posed under this situation make caregiving more overwhelming than usual."
The AlzAuthors website offers over 230 books and blogs to support caregivers. The anthologies introduce readers to over 100 books about Alzheimer's and dementia and the personal stories behind them.
Here are three ways to get a copy without leaving your home:
Alzheimer's and Dementia Caregiving Stories (VOLUME I) Kindle.
The ebook is available to download for free through Book Funnel.
Alzheimer's and Dementia Caregiving Stories (VOLUME I) Audiobook. We have codes available for free downloads. Email us at [email protected], and we will send you one. Please indicate whether you need a US or UK code.
Alzheimer's and Dementia Caregiving Stories (VOLUME II) Kindle. The ebook version is available for free for a limited time, from Monday, March 23rd to Friday, March 27th.
"We hope these books let you know you are not alone," says Campanella. "May you and your loved ones stay well and be blessed."

Pictured left to right are: Aldo Basile, Boeing Commercial Airplanes Sales vice president, Europe, Russia and Central Asia, Pierre Vellay, Air France executive vice president for New Aircraft & Corporate Fleet Planning, and Larry Loftis, vice president and general manager of the Boeing 777 Program.
EVERETT, Wash., Feb. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Boeing today celebrated the delivery of the company's first 777 Freighter to launch customer Air France in a ceremony at the Future of Flight Aviation Center & Boeing Tour near Paine Field. The contractual delivery and airplane departure are scheduled for Friday.
"Our new Boeing 777 Freighter will operate very well with our 747-400ER Freighters," said Air France Executive Vice President for New Aircraft & Corporate Fleet Planning Pierre Vellay. "Also, we will benefit from the airplane's commonality with our proven 777 passenger fleet and improve our cargo efficiency to help us through the current economic difficulties."
Providing cargo capacity normally associated with larger airplanes, the 777 Freighter can fly 4,880 nautical miles (9,038 kilometers) with a full payload of 226,700 pounds (103 metric tons). The new airplane is expected to progressively replace the 747-400 Boeing Converted Freighter (BCF) in the Air France Cargo fleet. Air France currently operates five 747-400ER Freighters and four 747-400BCFs.
"The 777 Freighter uses less fuel per cargo tonne than any freighter operating," said Aldo Basile, vice president, Sales, Europe, Russia and Central Asia, Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "With the 777F, Air France also will experience the lowest maintenance costs and the lowest trip costs of any large freighter, as well as outstanding environmental performance."
The 777 Freighter is the world's longest-range freighter and features the lowest trip cost of any large freighter, with high cargo density and 10-foot (3.1-meter) interior height capability that complement the popular 747 Freighter family.
"The 777 Freighter provides a new level of cargo economics, with low tonne-kilometer costs to help cargo airlines in the current environment," said Larry Loftis, vice president and general manager of the Boeing 777 Program. "The 777 Freighter is a great example of Boeing's commitment to continuously improve the 777 family to deliver top value to owners and operators."
The 777 Freighter is powered by General Electric's GE90-110B1L and meets QC2 noise standards.
Air France Cargo also was the first operator of the 747-400ER Freighter.
Twelve customers have ordered a total of 73 777 Freighters.
