The Dan Haren Trade Revisited
Before I get to the main subject of today's post, a few quick notes…
Congratulations To Red Sox Pitcher Jon Lester For Taking A Perfect Game Into The 7th
Jon Lester is a success story to many. A miraculous recovery from cancer, pitching again, winning the last game of the 2007 World Series, and finally pitching a no-hitter in 2008. Lester's story runs almost parallel with another player's: Dave Dravecky. At the beginning off the 1988 season, Dravecky had a cancerous desmoid tumor removed from his pitching arm, along with half of the deltoid muscle, and freezing the humerus bone. On August 10, 1989, Dravecky made a remarkable return to the majors, pitching 8 innings, and giving up three runs. However tragedy struck in his next start, Dravecky's humerus bone snapped while he was delivering a pitch, ending his career. Let's hope that Lester's career won't mirror Dravecky's that closely!
Chad Tracy, Stephen Drew, Chris Young, and Eric Byrnes, You Should Be Ashamed
Diamondbacks pitcher Max Scherzer has a .667 OPS, horrible, right? What else would you expect from a pitcher? Four D-back starters, 1B Chad Tracy, SS Stephen Drew, CF Chris Young, and RF Eric Byrnes, have lower OPS's than Scherzer! The D-backs offense should be ashamed.
Now the main topic, the Dan Haren trade Revisited
On December 15, 2007, the Oakland A's traded RHP Dan Haren to the D-backs for six players, LHP's Dana Eveland, Brett Anderson, and Greg Smith, OF's Carlos Gonzalez and Aaron Cunningham, and 1B Chris Carter.
After the 2008 season, in which they failed to impress, Smith, and Gonzalez were used as part of a package for Matt Holliday. They will be left out of the analysis
How has Haren done for the D-backs? Through 44 starts, Haren has gone 20-12 with a 3.09 ERA, and 284 strikeouts, including a career high of 206 in 2008, and a 1.06 WHIP. Ace numbers.
But the A's certainly received an ace's haul for Haren.
LHP Eveland was one of the A's starters in 2008, and at the beginning of 2009, he was solid in '08, but with the A's glut of young pitchers, I don't see Eveland in the team's longterm plans.
LHP Anderson, just 21 years old, has had a rocky start to his major league career, his minor league numbers are fantastic however, and he should be dominating in 2010.
Cunningham will take over in LF for 2010, he projects as power-speed combo, perhaps 15 HR's, and 20 steals, with a high .OBP.
Chris Carter will defensively end up a 1B, or a DH. But his hitting ability cannot be questioned, Carter is a slugger who gets on base a ton. He projects as a 25-30 homerun bat in the majors.
All in all, Haren could have been a young veteran anchor in an even younger rotation, but with the potential of Anderson, Cunningham, and Carter, the A's made the right move. The D-backs paid a king' s ransom to get a second ace, Haren's been great, but the D-backs offense hasn't put them in the playoffs yet.
This Day In Baseball History
1938-In a game against the Red Sox, Indians' pitcher Johnny Allen storms off the mound and doesn't return when he is ordered by ump Bill McGowan to cut off his distracting dangling sweatshirt sleeve. The shirt ends up in the Hall of Fame but the Lenoir, North Carolina native doesn't.
1982-Dodger first baseman Steve Garvey becomes only the fifth player in major league history to play in 1,000 consecutive games.
1983-Steve 'Lefty' Carlton of the Phillies strikes out Cardinals' outfielder Lonnie Smith for his 3,522nd career strikeout to pass Nolan Ryan as the all-time strikeout leader.
1989-For the first time in major league history, the same game is played partly outdoors and partly indoors as the Blue Jays beat the Brewers, 4-2 in a contest which features the closing of the SkyDome's retractable roof in the fifth inning due to inclement weather.
1998-Dave Burba becomes the first Cleveland pitcher to homer in 26 years in a 6-1 victory over the Reds at Cinergy Field. Ironically, the right-hander was scheduled to be the Opening Day pitcher for Cincinnati but was traded to Cleveland the day before for Sean Casey.
2006-With the Yankees 10-3 victory over the White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field, Joe Torre wins his 2,000th game as a manager. The former Brav
es (257), Mets (286) and Cardinals (351) skipper becomes the first person in big league history to have to reached the milestone and also have at least 2,000 hits as a player.
2007-With two outs in the bottomof the ninth inning at Network Associates Coliseum, Shannon Stewart lines a single to right field to break up Curt Schilling's no-hitter. Thanks to a first inning home run by David Ortiz, the Red Sox beat the A's,1-0.

Privacy holy grail elusive in its execution.
Information commissioner Timothy Pilgrim has warned that effective data de-identification remains an elusive goal in the "data space race" consuming Australia's enterprises.
He told the business community he was willing to consider de-identified data outside of the strict protection demands of the Privacy Act, but only when the ID stripping process meets the highest standards.
The OAIC is set to clarify these standards in upcoming draft guidance.
In a blog post written in the lead up to his CeBIT address in two weeks, Pilgrim reiterated the risks posed by undercooked de-identification.
"De-identification is a concept anyone can get, but not anyone can deliver," he wrote.
"It is far more complicated than removing names or postcodes, and ... the risks of getting it wrong can be substantial and very public.
"I would say that's 'not rocket science', but it kind of is."
Pilgrim has previously cautioned against placing too much faith in anonymised data.
However, he appears to have warmed to the process somewhat, stating that "when done correctly, de-identified information is no longer personal information and is therefore outside the scope of the Privacy Act".
"The track record of expertly de-identified data in preventing data breaches is very strong," he said.
"The OAIC is in favour of organisations using de-identification as a tool to protect both their customers and their reputation; provided that checks and balances, audit and review, and quality control are built in to your processes."
But just last year he cautioned that organisations should still treat de-identified or anonymised data in the same way they treat personally identifiable information, to safeguard themselves in case their efforts were reversible.
He pointed to high-profile cases in the US where researchers have been able to re-identify data sets by combining them with new information.

Areas of Geographic Depth
"Nature and Society Geography" is a field of geography concerned with the relationships between people and the environment. The field is broad and includes geography's two centuries of emphasis on humankind's interaction with and modifications of natural systems, as well as newer interests in conflicts over natural resources and environmental change, assessments of the sustainability and equity of primary production systems, and critical analyses of the meanings of taken-for-granted concepts like "nature," "natural resources," and "degradation."
The Nature and Society Geography subfield in geography and the UC Davis geography program occupies a middle ground between human and physical geography. Nature and society geographers rely on both qualitative and quantitative methods, including GIS and cartographic design. In this way, overlap among the subfields is intentional, and our faculty work across fields (e.g., teach courses in human geography and nature and society geography).
The subfields of Nature and Society Geography at UC Davis that are particularly strong include: agricultural geography; cultural and political ecology; environmental hazards; environmental justice and conflict; and historical nature and society geography.
Agricultural geography
UC Davis, as one of the nation's leading research universities focused on agriculture, offers great potential for Nature and Society Geography students interested in the intersection of agriculture, environment, and society. The areas of sustainable agriculture, agricultural development, and agricultural policy and models are particularly strong in UC Davis geography. The new Agricultural Sustainability Institute offers Nature and Society Geography students engagement with cutting-edge work on organic, transitional, and local food and farming systems.
Cultural and political ecology
Central to Nature and Society Geography is the subfield of cultural ecology and political ecology. Cultural ecology, a subfield in geography and anthropology, has a long history at UC Davis with current faculty members including David Boyd, Stephen Brush, Benjamin Orlove, and emeritus faculty Jack Ives. Cultural ecologists use ethnographic and other methods to understand indigenous resource management and the iterative relationship between culture and environment. In the late 1970s, cultural ecology was expanded to political ecology, which emphasizes extra-local political and economic forces that cause environmental change and degradation. UC Davis has one of the top ranked ecology graduate programs in the country, giving Nature and Society Geography graduate students ample opportunity to engage and collaborate with ecologists.
Floods, extreme weather events, volcanic eruptions, and earthquakes have important ramifications for society. Dating back to the work of Gilbert White in the mid-20th century, Nature and Society Geography has a tradition of informing policy by emphasizing that environmental hazards are invariably strongly influenced by social relationships.
Environmental justice and conflict
Environmental justice is the principle that all people and communities have a right to live in a healthy environment and to have equitable access to sufficient resources to maintain a good quality of life. Geographers and others from allied disciplines highlight uneven distribution of costs and benefits of environmental modifications along the lines of race, ethnicity, gender, and class. Additionally, environmental justice examines conflicts over the lived environment and the successes of the environmental justice movements. UC Davis houses the Environmental Justice Project through the John Muir Institute for the Environment, the lead faculty of which often collaborate interdisciplinarily with faculty and researchers associated with the Center for the Study of Regional Change, as well as faculty in Environmental Science and Policy, Plant Ecology, and other departments and disciplines.
Historical nature and society geography
Key to elucidating nature and society relations is an understanding of the processes that have shaped those interactions over time. An historical perspective offers multiple temporal scales of analysis, allows an examination of the ways different nature-society relations are constructed over time, and reminds researchers that environmental change is multidirectional and multifaceted.

The Hot Springs Mountains are a range of rocky hills located in Northern Nevada, in Churchill County, between the cities of Fallon, Lovelock, and Fernley.  The area was recently volcanically active (in geological terms), is underlain by hot rocks, and is the site of several geothermal electric power plants.  It is an arid, rough terrain, uninhabited.   These mountains are adjacent to the Lahontan Valley, which contains the Forty Mile Desert, a daunting section of the 19th century California emigrant trail.  During the Pleistocene epoch this range of mountains was an island in the now extinct Lake Lahontan.

Q: How many principle primitive in ZFC set theory? I am reading both Paul Halmos Naive Set theory and Endertons Elements of set theory. Both the books are developing ZFC.
In Enderton, he says:

Our axiom system begins with two primitive notions, the concepts of
"set" and "member." In terms of these concepts we will define
others, but the primitive notions remain undefined.

Whereas in Halmos book, he says:

The principal concept of set theory, the one that in completely
axiomatic studies is the principle primitive (undefined) concept, is
that of belonging.

I think Enderton is correct as we never define the term set or member/belonging, so both of these must be the principle primitive. But searching on the Internet, it seems everyone agrees that only belonging/members is the principle primitive.
If so why isn't Set a principle primitive as well?

Degreasing and browning in the same easy application. Laurel Mountain Forge Barrel Brown and Degreaser will work right through fingerprints, grease, oil films, giving an even, streak-free brown.
Easy to use, no need to heat the barrel as with hot browns, no lengthy browning sessions lasting for days as with other cold brown. Barrel Brown and Degreaser is applied cold at three hour intervals. An average job can be finished in about four to eight coats. The color of the brown obtained varies from a rich reddish brown to a dark chocolate, depending on the number of coats applied. It also can be used to produce a "rust blue" with a deep blue-black color.

Persistent niggles and nagging injuries can be extremely frustrating, but they're a reality for those of us who push our physical limits every day in the gym.
Besides the pain and discomfort, there's the obvious frustration of having to take a break from training while you either receive medical treatment, or wait for the body to repair itself.
"But if your body has an innate healing ability, you may ask yourself why niggles persist and often return weeks, months or even years after overcoming the initial injury," says Sean Johnson, owner and principal at The Centre for Structural Medicine, which is located in the northwest of Johannesburg.
Take, for instance, knee pain, which is a common complaint, especially among runners, cyclists and those who lift weights seriously. "The knee is a joint with an incredibly high number of fascial connections to other parts of the body, but none more so than with the pelvis. In my clinic, when people complain about their knees I immediately look for pelvic instability or dysfunction," explains Sean.
Tension states in any of the muscles that share attachments with the pelvis and knee can affect the functioning of the joint and, in turn, be the root cause of knee pain. Even tension states in the glutes, hamstrings, quads and 'locked' sacroilliac joints can all lead to pelvic dysfunction, which, in turn, can lead to knee and ankle issues; even shin splints.
Often the presenting symptoms are not the main area of concern. "So, to effectively, and permanently, recover from injuries you have to look past what the body is showing you and try and understand the injury within context," he concludes.
Ultimately, treating the cause of an injury, not the symptoms, will help you recover quicker, and permanently.


Yesterday, I mentioned that I'd set up a borrowed turntable. The next step, of course, was to buy some vinyl. I haven't had a turntable of my own since I was a very small child and had a plastic, two-part turntable on which I played the hits from Disney films, so I needed to go out and start a collection. My brother kindly started me off by giving me the excellent album 'Riot on an Empty Street' by the Kings of Convenience on vinyl for my birthday. As a newly-recorded album, this was rich and detailed, and the warmth and presence of the medium showed off the delicate vocals and intricate acoustic guitar playing to their best advantage. This was an excellent start.
I headed out to Birmingham's finest second-hand record shops in search of bargains. There are several good shops, which all have slightly different markets, but my favourite by far was The Diskery, the very place where Steve Winwood used to buy American R&B albums. They have a huge selection in all kinds of genres, their stock seems to generally be in excellent condition, and they are very reasonably priced. After much shuffling through the £1 bin and 'general rock' sections, I came away with four discs for a grand total of £11. Another advantage of vinyl is that you can get a lot of music for your money if you stick to second-hand, non-collectable discs.
Kate Bush - The Kick Inside and Never For Ever. I have both of these albums on cassette, but as I don't have a tape player anymore, I haven't listened to them for years. That's a great shame, as there's some great material on these albums, as well as wonderful, bizarre artwork by Nick Price on 'Never For Ever'.
Japan - Quiet Life. I have fond memories of this album, but for some reason I've never bought a copy myself.
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon. An original 1973 pressing. What more do I need to say? It's a classic album, and still sounds deeply innovative even today. I think that "Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way" from 'Time' might get may vote for Best Song Lyric of All Time. In fact, the [entire lyrics] for 'Time' are pure genius and an excellent reminder that life is fleeting and mostly happens while you are waiting for it to start.
Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band - Clear Spot. This was a special 180 gram vinyl pressing that I bought from another shop. I hadn't heard this album and took a wild chance with it, as Beefheart creates — in my experience — either sheer musical genius or completely unlistenable noise. Happily, Clear Spot fell into the former category, with 'Big Eyed Beans From Venus', 'Her Eyes are a Blue Million Miles' and 'Sun Zoom Spark' as standout tracks.
So there it is. Having a turntable is encouraging me to seek out formerly beloved music from my adolescence, and to take risks on music I haven't heard before. It has also reminded me that there are many different ways of listening to music. Using a turntable is quite labour-intensive, with the fussy ritual of cleaning the records, carefully positioning the stylus, and turning the record over half way through. I'm finding that this makes me actually sit down and just listen. With CDs — or worse, with MP3s — it's so easy to just shove an album or two on and do something else, that you often find yourself doing something else with music as a background.
There's nothing wrong with that of course, but sometimes it's good to do the music proper justice and concentrate on it. You could do that with CD, but I find the the need for more attention to the equipment with vinyl enforces a different kind of listening environment. I'm not about to give up my CD player or iPod (in fact, I chose my CD player because it had a vinyl-like quality), but there's also something intensely engaging about vinyl, even with a fairly budget turntable. Despite the occasional pop and crackle, with properly recorded material it just sounds more intensely alive than a digital player.

Bienvenidos a Resplandor International
Scholar/Artist in Residence
Verano en México
Imagine – Taking Education to New Heights
An Abandoned Home Becomes a Shining Star for Teachers and a Small Community in Mexico
Associate Professor Todd Fletcher puts his heart and soul into a life-changing community center that provides the perfect training ground for teachers.
by Gabrielle Fimbres
Todd Fletcher is a man on a mission, devoted to helping teachers improve the school experience for special education English learners.
As part of that mission, a piece of Fletcher's heart will always be more than a thousand miles south of the University of Arizona, in rural Mexico.
Fletcher, who joined the UA College of Education in 1985, has created an educational community center in Cajones, Mexico, about 10 miles outside of Guanajuato.
For decades, he has led Verano en Mexico, a summer school program for education students. He was inspired to give back to the community that has been so hospitable to UA students and faculty.
"I had an inspiration to do something more concrete to make a difference and to do something for the community," Fletcher said. "We set up a school where
international faculty can present and can really do something to impact these children and families."
In 2009, Resplandor International was born.
For the past three summers, faculty and students from around the globe — and many from the UA — have traveled with Fletcher to this lush Mexican community that has limited resources. They have formed close bonds with the children and families of the area, offering everything from early childhood education and earth sciences to cooking, guitar, and Zumba classes.
Resplandor also serves as a rich training ground for teachers and professionals. Arnulfo Velasquez, teacher in residence at the UA College of Education, who also sings with Arizona Opera, has spent two summers with Fletcher at Resplandor, teaching guitar and singing to children and adults, some with special needs.
"It was a wonderful experience," Velasquez said. "We were able to integrate music and sign language with some of the deaf kids in the community. It was tremendous."
Velasquez credits Fletcher with having the vision to build a life-changing community center — and making it happen.
A love for Latin America
But how did this kid from Iowa end up putting his heart and soul — and a chunk of his savings — into the abandoned home in the middle of nowhere that would become Resplandor?
Fletcher spoke little Spanish when he enrolled in the University of the Americas, a bilingual school in Puebla, Mexico, where he received his bachelor's degree in education. He fell in love with Latin America, and ended up teaching in Nicaragua.
When political strife forced him to leave Nicaragua in 1978, he moved to Oregon for more schooling. There, he met psychologist Richard Woodcock, who was looking for help in developing a psychoeducational test in Spanish.
Fletcher traveled to Peru, Costa Rica, Spain, and Mexico to help develop an evaluation tool that would be appropriate for English-learning students in the U.S. I knew nothing about special education back then," Fletcher recalled.
He conducted his dissertation research in Mexico City, working in public and private schools, comparing two psychological tests — in Spanish — used to measure cognitive abilities and academic achievement.
English learners often misdiagnosed
After receiving his doctorate in educational foundations and special education from Oregon State University, Fletcher joined the UA College of Education in 1985 to develop bilingual special education in response to a growing community need. He coordinates the specialty program in bilingual/multicultural special education in our Department of Disability and Psycho educational Studies (DPS).
"This is kind of where bilingual education started," Fletcher said of the UA. "I was hired to develop a program to prepare teachers and develop skills in evaluating children who are primarily Spanish speakers."
Today, it is one of only a handful of bilingual special education programs in the country. "Bilingual special ed really didn't exist before this," Fletcher said. He brought in distinguished scholars who were instrumental in helping him develop the course work.
Fletcher said English learners are often misdiagnosed as having special needs because of language and cultural differences. "These kids need to be better understood," he said. "Teachers are not
well prepared to understand the language and cultural differences. This lack of understanding can be difficult to overcome."
Fletcher developed a core of four classes and received a federal grant to fund scholarships for students to be trained as bilingual special education teachers. "It enabled students from diverse backgrounds who might otherwise not be able to access the university to come here," he said.
Over the years, the UA graduated about 10 bilingual special education students each year. A couple of years ago, funding for scholarships was terminated, but Fletcher continues to teach. One of his classes, Cultural and Linguistic Diversity in Exceptional Learners, is required for all DPS graduate students. .
To complement what his students were learning in the classroom, Fletcher developed the five-week program Verano en Mexico in 1986.
Every summer, Fletcher leads groups of students — from the occasional high school student to doctoral candidates — to Mexico City and Guanajuato. They live with a host family, meet with Mexican education officials, spend time in schools, and learn Spanish.
"They experience the culture firsthand," he said. "No matter how much you read and study, it's important to be there. It's a transforming experience.
"A lot of students come from schools in Mexico, so it is helpful if future teachers can have an understanding of the culture and education system there," he continued. "The whole goal was to develop cultural competency. These are not simple students to work with, and the reality is that all teachers today have that population that they are working with. It is important that they have assessment and instructional skills they need."
Jeannie Favela, assistant superintendent at Sunnyside Unified School District, said Verano en Mexico helped prepare her for real-world teaching. She attended the program in the late 1980s.
"I didn't know much about the education system in Mexico, especially special ed," Favela said. "That was very helpful."
Favela, who grew up on the Nogales, Ariz., border, learned about where her students were coming from.
"Dr. Fletcher has mentored me and kept track of me," Favela said. "We still collaborate. I have great regard and admiration for his program."
Powerful work
Resplandor grew out of Fletcher's summers in Mexico and his own travels.
"When I studied in Mexico, I got all of these wonderful experiences," he said. "I want to give students an opportunity to gain what I gained and to have the opportunity to transform their lives personally and professionally. It's very powerful to work in the community, to work with families and feel like you are making a difference."
The UA community has supported the project through fundraisers and through faculty and students who teach there.
The center provides after-school programs as well as summer classes for children ages 4 to 16, as well as adults.
"One of the goals is to provide residents with what they need to stay in their communities," Fletcher said. "The families and the communities are really happy."
He adds, "They love participating at Resplandor." And it provides an excellent training ground for teachers.
"We will use the center to train teachers and professionals, locally, nationally, and internationally," he said.
Patricia González, bilingual special education teacher at Davis Bilingual Magnet School in Tucson, received her master's degree from the UA in May 2011. She said Fletcher's classes, along with her summers at Resplandor, prepared her to teach.
"Dr. Fletcher was my professor, my advisor, and he has been a strong supporter of my studies," she said. "He's been a wonderful mentor. As a teacher, I feel I have learned so much and I am more effective because of Dr. Fletcher and his classes."
At Resplandor, González , who took the photo on the cover of this year's Imagine, has taught everything from reading to Zumba.
"It's really an honor more than anything to be part of the program," she said. "I am so grateful and blessed to be a part of it and to know these children and families."

Radiation is energy that is sent out from a source. Radiation exposure happens when you're exposed it.
It can be found in nature. It can also be manmade. Ultraviolet (UV) rays come from the sun. They can also come from microwaves used to heat food.
Ionizing—High frequency and can injure cells. Linked to cancer and other health problems.
Nonionizing—Low frequency and is not known to cause cancer. However, UV rays can.
This fact sheet focuses on the ionizing type.
Your chances of exposure are higher if you are near sources that make it.
Health problems may not happen in everyone. Having a chest x-ray does expose you to some radiation. The dose and risk for health problems is low. Other tests, like CT scans, expose you to higher doses. Health risks from CT scans, while still small, are higher than from x-rays.
The higher the exposure, the more likely there will be problems.
A radiation survey meter can measure the amount of radiation in your body.
If you have radiation sickness, care will depend on the where the damage is. You will be watched closely during care.
Radioactive iodine can be taken in by the thyroid gland. This can cause harm and lead to thyroid cancer. Potassium iodine will block the body from taking in this type.
Talk to your doctor or manager about the best ways to lower your chances of exposure. There are policies in place to help you. Ask about the risk of exposure during visits with your doctor or dentist.

A recent case at the BC Supreme Court, British Columbia v. The Administrator of the Ship-source Oil Pollution Fund, demonstrates how difficult it is to make a successful legal claim against a company that was dissolved at the time the claim arose.
In the proceeding at issue, the B.C. government sought to restore a company to the provincial Register of Companies. The company had dissolved in January of 2014, at which time it had owned a large derelict vessel moored in B.C. waters, the Chilcotin Princess. When the company dissolved, title to the Chilcotin Princess automatically transferred to the B.C. government.
The B.C. government was not aware this had occurred, however, and assisted the Coast Guard in decommissioning the Chilcotin Princess in early 2015. As part of that process, Coast Guard employees first removed potential oil pollutants from the vessel, at a total cost of $137,680.88.
The Coast Guard later requested and received reimbursement for the $137,680.88 from the federal "Ship-source Oil Pollution Fund". The Fund reimburses parties for their clean-up costs for any oil pollution relating to ships, and then attempts to recover the costs from the ship owner, or any other responsible party.
In this case, the Fund sought recovery from the B.C. government under the federal Marine Liability Act, as the province had (unwittingly) become the owner of the Chilcotin Princess before the clean-up costs were incurred. The Province responded by (1) applying to restore the dissolved company that had previously owned the vessel, and (2) for that restoration to be "with prejudice" to the rights the Fund had acquired against the B.C. government in the interim. This would mean that the company, and not the B.C. government, was the owner of the Chilcotin Princess at the time the pollution was cleaned up.
The Court agreed that restoration of the dissolved company was appropriate. However, it also held that the revival should be without prejudice to the rights of the Fund, as to find otherwise would entirely defeat the Fund's claim against the B.C. government. It would also fall afoul of Parliament's intention, as expressed in the Marine Liability Act, to impose liability for pollution on any person that "has the rights of possession" of a ship. The province, as the owner of the Chilcotin Princess at the relevant time, remained strictly liable for the pollution-related costs the vessel created.
This decision highlights the difficulty of attempting to restore a dissolved company to assume liability, and the importance of considering which parties will be prejudiced by a restoration. While other recent court decisions in British Columbia have restored dissolved companies to permit claims against them to proceed, the process remains an uphill battle for a litigant.

Divaria Productions Teams With Bay Street Theater for 'Othello; The Opera And Play Enmeshed'
Bay Street Theater and Divaria Productions are joining forces to put on a production of "Othello: The Opera and Play Enmeshed."
The event is set for Saturday, Sept. 14 in New York City. The production is set to to put a spotlight on one of the most famous stories ever written and its unique interpretations across different art forms.
Leland Gantt and tenor Limmie Pulliam will take on the title role. Rivka Borek and soprano Ashley Galvani Bell will portray Desdemona. Finally, Michal Gizinski and baritone Kidon Choi will play Iago.
The production will be co-directed by Antón Armendariz and Andrew Bell.
We've grounded our staging of 'Othello' in World War II, a period where heroes abound, and unexpected villains lurk on every corner," noted co-director Bell in a press release. "It's an uncertain time period where one's ethnicity divides and one's loyalty is always being put to the test. Religion historically was more of a driving force in skirmishes of yesteryear, but it is in the dark days of World War II, where one's identity is under assault and determines one's fate."

It's an age-old proverb - and one Morgan Stanley says applies to the tech sector.
Snap's chief strategy chief Imran Khan is leaving, the company said Monday, becoming the latest executive to depart its top ranks.
And even though he leaves a big hole for founder and CEO Evan Spiegel to fill -advertising executives aren't particularly sorry to see Khan go.
Khan, 41, joined Snap in early 2015, with a mandate to expand its business and revenue and steer it toward an initial public offering.
But while he succeeded in charting the company's path to an IPO, insiders and outsiders apparently never saw him as an advertising guy.

Annamárie Horváthová, a pupil from an impoverished Romani family, has drawn attention and expressions of sympathy from the public in Slovakia after winning a race in which, unlike her competitors, she was wearing just flats. A co-organizer of the competition has found a sponsor who has now given the girl new running shoes and socks.
Slovak President Andrej Kiska has also met with the promising runner. The competition was participated in by roughly 450 adults and children in the eastern town of Moldava nad Bodvou on tracks of different lengths in June.
The girl has only drawn public attention more recently, however. A local recreation center that co-organized the competition published a photograph of the announcement of the winner through online social networks.
The photograph shows the pupil standing on the winner's podium in the footwear she wore during the race, flats without socks, while her competitors who came in second and third place are wearing running shoes and athletic gear. The recreation center announced that it will be creating conditions for the winning pupil, who attends a Hungarian-language school, to continue improving her running performance under the guidance of a trainer.
On 5 September, Slovak President Kiska visited eastern Slovakia to attend the launch of the new school year and met with Horváthová. "Each child must get a chance. I have no doubt that among the children we have many talents that have not yet been discovered," he said.
The story of the Romani girl, who has six siblings and gets top grades at school, has sparked a debate in the media about the fact that children from impoverished conditions do not have much chance to develop their talent. According to the Denník N newspaper, two years ago another running competition was won in the east of the country by a girl who ran in slippers.


You'll find many thousands of products to market on Clickbank which will pay you up to 75% commissions every two weeks.
Affiliate marketing can also give you the opportunity to stand behind products you know and love, be offering links and banners to them on your personal internet site. You'll receive money for each item bought that you are representing , which is reason enough to take part.
This is merely a matter of common courtesy - but it is amazing how many marketing pros decide to avoid this step. Some do this because their idea is, if theyare going to promote this pup, it had better bark or theyare not squandering their time, and the vendor can just fix it.


Welcome to British Isles Friday! British Isles Friday is a weekly event for sharing all things British — reviews, photos, opinions, trip reports, guides, links, resources, personal stories, interviews, and research posts. Join us each Friday to link your British-themed content and to see what others have to share. The link list is at the bottom of this post.
Last week's collection of posts included photos from London and Cornwall, book reviews, and humor. A new blogger joined us, Mark Baker of Carstairs Considers…. reviewed a book from a mystery series centered around a hat shop in London. Fun!
For my post today, I'm reviewing Sugar in the Blood by Andrea Stuart. This is the second time in a row that the selection for the Diversity Book Club also worked for British Isles Friday. Last month, our selection was TransAtlantic by Colum McCann.
Summary: Generations of Andrea Stuart's ancestors lived and died on the Caribbean island of Barbados. They came from England and they came from unknown lands in Africa. They owned slaves or were enslaved. They came to Barbados by choice to seek greater opportunity or by force to be the means for creating that opportunity. For generations, the cultivation of sugar was the economic engine that drove the work and culture on the island with impacts that were felt far beyond — including England and the rest of the British colonies, like the thirteen that eventually became the United States.
When Americans tell the story of slavery to ourselves, we tend to make it a story about the US, leaving Europe and Britain out as lesser players, somehow. But slavery was established in the New World for some three-hundred and sixty years and the US only existed for the last four-score and seven of them.
Barbados was important not because it was the first society with slaves, but because it was the first slave society in the British Americas: that is, it was the first society that was entirely organized around its slave system and, as such, it would be come the model for the plantation system throughout the Americas…..Its political structure as well as its system of governance was organized around the control and management of an enslaved majority, while the moral, ethical and ideological values of the society were entirely developed and shaped to reproduce the system of slavery. p. 83.
Sugar in the Blood describes the British involvement in slavery by focusing on Stuart's ancestors, black and white, on the island of Barbados.
Thoughts: Barbados was the proving ground for the plantation structures that underpinned slavery and were eventually exported to the American South. In 1661, Barbados enacted a law "For the Better Ordering and Governing of Negroes" that became model legislation throughout the British Americas. Comparable codes set up by the French and Spanish were much more "liberal" in granting certain rights of personhood to the enslaved.
Barbadians helped invent the concept of whiteness and blackness, making race a defining characteristic of slavery.
By the 1660s, while England recovered its monarch and London dealt with fire and plague, Barbados became the star of the empire, leading the overseas trade, creating jobs in the mother country, and providing sugar for use and export.
That passage took my thoughts in two directions, one very negative and one a little more positive.
On the more positive side, I wondered if a clear-eyed look at the past, seeing the evil but also recognizing that's not what it looked like from the angle of Robert Cooper Ashby, presents a path to healing. As I felt after reading Before the Mayflower in the fall, I sense an invitation in this book to accept both the slave owners and the enslaved women and men as our shared history, grim as it was. From that acceptance, can spring a more united sense of history that, I hope, can lead to a more inclusive future.
Appeal: Sugar in the Blood is a remarkable book — readable but dense, weaving genealogy with history using documents, maps, and pictures to tell a story that has been ignored too long on both sides of the Atlantic.
Reviews: I didn't find any other book blogger reviews of this book. Andrea Stuart was interviewed widely when the book first came out — that's how our book club heard about it. I'm surprised no one else picked it up. If you read Sugar in the Blood, let me know and I'll link your review up here.
Challenges: I'm counting this as my third book for the British History Reading Challenge, which means I met that goal of three books — but I think I'll keep reading! Sugar in the Blood is also my ninth book for the Nonfiction Reading Challenge, putting me on track to read 16 books this year.
*Mostly, I'm thinking about plastics here. It's easier to imagine a modern world without cars than without plastic. I'm not talking about packaging — I'm thinking about all of the things we require for work — on my desk I have my laptop, ballpoint pens, a pencil sharpener, my headphones. And, just try to imagine a hospital without plastic.
We need to be more inclusive, just as we need to see that we have not yet moved beyond the mindset that puts people into different "boxes" based on the color of their skin.
I read Sugar in the Blood a few months ago while I was doing some research. It is a great book. I want to read her book on Josephine Bonaparte.
My non-fiction British Isles link this week is a review of a wonderful book I read several years ago called 'The Perfect Summer: Dancing into Shadow in 1911' by Juliet Nicolson. It's told through the eyes of several people living in London at a time of social change. I thought it was an absolutely fascinating read and I would definitely recommend it if you're interested in that period of British history.
Another great book review. I am finding echoes of my History of the Slave South class are definitely present in this book and the discussion of the commodities that drove the British to claw their way out of infighting and economic ruin through the forced labor and degradation of Africans.
I picked this book up before from the library but never had a chance to read it. I need to change that. Your review is wonderful, Joy.

These were the words from a family member of one of 57 kids who went on the Kidd's Kids 2018 trip to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fla. Founded by late radio host and television personality, Kidd Kraddick, Kidd's Kids provides hope and happiness by creating beautiful memories for families of children with life-altering and life-threatening conditions.
Every November, the organization sponsors a group of children and their families on an all-expense paid trip to "The Happiest Place on Earth," where they can forget about doctor appointments and their illnesses, and enjoy a magical day with their families.
At the start of this once-in-a-lifetime trip, the kids were gifted with a personalized Apple iPad that is preloaded with all relevant and contact information for their trip.
This is the eighth year that FUSION OF IDEAS has gratefully donated our app development and customization services to this amazing cause. Together with Best Buy, we were onsite to help hand out the iPads to the kids, and see the delight on their faces when they were presented with the customized devices.

The Große Musikvereinssaal
The Große Musikvereinssaal in Vienna is regarded as the crown jewel among world's concert halls. It is a space that transmutes architecture into music and music into architecture. One reaction among music lovers attending the hall's opening at the time noted: "If it were possible to imagine Mozart's great Jupiter Symphony constructed as concrete, visible architectural forms, the Musikverein's new concert hall would provide a vision to match this." When the concert hall opened its doors for the first time on 6 January 1870, its impact upon visitors was overwhelming. "No matter how high expectations might be", wrote the press, "they will be exceeded by first impressions of the hall, which is unique in its quality of architectonic beauty and elegant grandeur." The concert hall designed by the Musikverein's architect Theophil Hansen is 48.80 metres long, 19.10 metres wide and 17.75 metres high and combines the harmonious basic form of a rectangular box with dynamic details. The walls and ceiling are rhythmically aligned while forms and colours are used to create a fascinating interplay. The ceiling frescoes, painted by August Eisenmenger and depicting Apollo and the nine muses, surrounded in adjoining paintings by allegorical figures, create a dynamic counterpoint through the use of blue tones to the predominant gold of the concert hall interior. The sculptural details created by Franz Melnitzky and retaining their elegant white design, include the details above the eaves of the balcony doors and the Organ, and the caryatids at the ground floor level. The model for these figures, which have come to symbolise the Musikverein itself, can be found at the Acropolis in Athens. Beneath the arched windows of the hall we find marble busts of famous composers throughout history. This illustrious company includes only those composers who had already died by 1870. The Große Musikvereinssaal provides seating for 2,000 music lovers, with 1,700 seats, and approximately 300 standing places. The acoustic experience is equally good throughout the hall. Indeed, the Große Musikvereinssaal continues to set the standard for acoustic excellence today. The outstanding acoustic qualities of the concert hall are not the result of strictly empirical science – after all, systematic research studies of acoustics only took place decades thereafter – but were rather a consequence of the architectonic concept underpinning the design. The rectangular box form of the hall is known to provide the optimal environment for spatial acoustics. Within this framework, additional elements – the coffered ceiling, balconies and caryatids – ensure the optimal dispersion of sound waves. Other details also have a positive function in acoustic terms: a void beneath the wooden flooring provides – just as with a violin – a resonating base, and the wooden ceiling, which is not simply laid upon but is hanging from the roof trusses, provides an advantage in allowing the sound to resonate throughout the hall.
