Frederick Douglass: Prophet of Freedom
Courier Book Reviewed by Greg M. Romaneck
(Available at Our Online Store)
There are times when a reader comes across a book that manifests the author's depth of knowledge on a given subject. In other instances, readers may find books that are skillfully written by men and women who have a talent for narrative. On occasion, you may peruse a book that tells an engaging story and does so in a way that draws you into it. David W. Blight's recent in-depth biography of Frederick Douglass is one those rare books that combines all of these traits and does so in a way that leaves the reader not only knowing far more about an amazing person but also the way in which the world he lived in has affected our very own.
In Frederick Douglass: Prophet of Freedom readers will encounter a man whose life is so improbable that if written in a novel many people would refuse to believe the plausibility of the plot line. Douglass was probably born in 1818 in Talbot County, Maryland. Douglass's mother was Harriet Bailey, one of five daughters of Betsy Bailey, and a woman who was to die at a young age only eight years after Frederick's birth. Frederick's father, in all probability, was his mother's white owner. Douglass was removed from his birthplace, and his family, when he was only seven years old, and thus began his hard years of education where the harsh realities of slavery carved their lessons into the very flesh, mind, and spirit of young Frederick Douglass. The result of those hard life lessons of bondage, paired with the almost fantastical experiences the aging Douglass had as a prominent freedman, molded the character of a man who would become one of the most famous individuals of the nineteenth century.
Douglass fled from slavery as a young man and entered into a period of life and work that resulted in not only amazing accomplishments in the field of civil rights before, during, and after the Civil War, but also a truly exceptional life in general. As Professor Blight chronicles in this comprehensive biography, Frederick Douglass became the primary spokesperson for the honor and dignity of African-American's lives during his era. It can be reasonably argued that until the coming of Dr. Martin Luther King onto the national stage of the Civil Rights Movement of the mid twentieth century, that Frederick Douglass was the most significant voice for the freedom of African-Americans in the nation's history. Douglass was also the most widely photographed American of the 19th century. Douglass was competitive with Mark Twain for the honor of being the most widely traveled American public figure of his century. In terms of sheer miles traveled and number of speeches made, Douglass's efforts left him few rivals for the honor of being the most widely heard American public speaker of his age. It is quite probable that more Americans heard Frederick Douglass give a speech than anyone else of what was a golden age for public oration. In fact, as David Blight notes early on in this amazing book, "Indeed, to see or hear Douglass speak became a kind of wonder of the American world." But, despite all the fame that came to Frederick Douglass, his life was one marked by bitter familial losses, physical pain, abiding defeats, and the harsh reality that all too often he and his people were beaten down by a society that seemed hellbent on punishing them for their color and heritage.
Douglass was also not a saint. Throughout his life Frederick Douglass demonstrated the ability to shine as a thinker, speaker, and writer. A supremely talented and driven man, Douglass was also a complex web of strengths and weaknesses. These contrasting qualities are vividly captured by Blight through his exhaustive research, cunning narrative, and great skill as a story teller. By the end of Blight's book readers should conclude that Frederick Douglass lived a life that was almost storybook in terms of its implausibility but also one that featured tremendous highs and lows which could break most people. The result of the essential contradictions and improbabilities of Douglass's success was a life of exceptional value while simultaneously being one lived on an edge of energy that periodically nearly broke his heart. This contrasting reality is ably captured by Blight who manifests a tremendous capacity for telling the story of one singular person's life in a way that allows readers not only to ponder upon it but also reflect on its implications for their own lives. As Blight notes, "Frederick Douglass was first of all a man—honest within the limitations of his character and his time, quite frequently misguided, sometimes pompous, gifted but not always a hero, and no saint at all." This is a fitting description not only for Frederick Douglass but for all of us, who are made up of contradictory elements of good and evil that clash during the courses of our lives. By showing Douglass to be above all utterly human in his capacity to act with strength and weakness, the author of this fine book brings him to life for readers in a way that makes him approachable as a person and not simply a statue from the past.
Perhaps no element of this biography stands out more than those pages, chapters, and sections that the author dedicates to Douglass's tireless efforts to use the written word as a tool of expression directed at freeing people. Literacy was a hard-won skill that young Frederick Douglass surreptitiously earned. Reading was unacceptable for most slaves but Douglass managed to find remarkable ways to become literate. With some assistance from the wife of one of his masters, Douglass not only learned to read but honed that essential skill into a weapon he used to fight against the institutions of oppression that ground his people into the mud. Over the course of his life Douglass wrote literally millions of words. In Douglass's autobiographies, speeches, newspaper articles, and the papers he edited, it can be argued that Douglass was among the most prolific American writers of the 19th century. These words of Douglass had a consistent focus aimed at illuminating the realities of slavery and oppression while at the same time impacting his audience so that change could occur. When the words used by Douglass in his thousands of speeches are added to those he scribed, the end result is an avalanche of rhetoric that helped push America closer to being a true democracy rather than a fake one built upon an ignorance of its very essence. As Blight writes, "Douglass was a man of words; spoken and written language was the only major weapon of protest, persuasion, or power that he ever possessed."
On the personal front, as David Blight describes, Douglass experienced both great happiness and terrible emptiness. Douglass married Anna Murray, a woman who was a tremendously devoted supporter of his life as well as a loving mother to his children. But it cannot be argued that marriage was satisfying for Douglass. Anna was a loving woman but one who was uneducated and bent upon a quiet, domesticated life. Anna bore five children and watched as her husband traveled the nation and the world while she remained home tending to her growing family. This distancing of husband and wife left Frederick Douglass prone to seeking out long-term friendship with a series of highly intellectual women who themselves stirred controversy. Douglass flaunted the social code of his era by maintaining intimate relationships with several Caucasian women inclusive of his second wife, Helen Pitts whom he married in his old age. Douglass also lived to see the struggles of his own children, the death of his steadfast first wife, and the sad deaths of numerous grandchildren. This personal turmoil, and the long-suffering yet stoic nature of Anna Murray Douglass, resonate and should leave readers wanting to know more about this patient woman who stood by her "great" husband while silently enduring tremendous inner pain. Blight brings Douglass's personal life to light in this painstaking study and does so in ways that help the reader to understand that he was not simply an historical figure but rather a living, breathing man.
In the end, Frederick Douglass saw enormous gain and loss in terms of the fate of African-Americans and their plight in the United States. Born at a time when the fate of the vast majority of African-Americans was to live in bondage, Douglass lived to see emancipation become a reality. The opportunities of equality harkened toward during the Reconstruction period gave Douglass great hope for the future of his race. Those hopes, in turn, were crushed by the end of Reconstruction and the commencement of the Jim Crow era featuring voter suppression, lynching, the eradication of hard won civil rights, and economic nullity for African-Americans. Douglass also saw the reality of a Supreme Court that seemed bent on suppressing the rights of Black people in ways offered little or no hope that the promises made during the Civil War would ever be honored. When Douglass died in 1895 the United States was a nation where segregation and inequality for Black people was the norm, while the fading memory of the realities of the Civil War was papered over by the false narrative of the Lost Cause.
While Douglass saw great gains for African-Americans in his lifetime he died a man who mourned the loss of the dreams of equality that he had used to motivate his entire life. Little did he know that the struggle he dedicated himself to would persist not only into the Civil Rights movement led by Dr. King and other noteworthy men and women, but to this very day. In telling the story of Frederick Douglass's life in a way that is noteworthy and deserving of literary honors in the field of biography, David Blight has served his readers well. Frederick Douglass was a brilliant and flawed man, and one whose extraordinary life is essential to understanding his nation's history and all the racial contradictions that have persistently plagued it.

How do we stop the Welfare hemorrhage?
In the 60's I was Executive Director of Junior Achievement. A non-profit organization that taught High School students about the free enterprise system by putting them into a business. It was totally financed by businesses. It was a real eye opener for me. In the downtown Oakland Center, it was mostly black kids. I couldn't get a program director to run that center so I doubled back at night and ran that center. I was dealing with third generation welfare recipients. The local businessman was the enemy, he took Momma's money! Which made it okay to rip him off.
Once they experienced being a business owner and all that goes with it, attitudes changed. They realized how much work and effort went into earning that small profit. They also, developed pride and dignity. They no longer needed their false bravado and cocky facade. They were made aware that they could be the commander of their fate and could change the course of their lives and future.
It was before drugs were so prevalent. And the mind numbing, hopelessness that comes with the use of these drugs.
Having babies to create an income for an uneducated woman is almost an accepted career for many of the welfare raised people.
Is it a California issue only. Contraire, my dear. It is wide spread nationally. And alas, will continue to be until we get the Government out of the picture. We need more organizations like Junior Achievement. Which follows the old; "Don't give a person a fish. Teach him how to fish".
I think there should be drug testing done before any welfare check is issued. Also, mandatory tubes tied and vasectomies done when more than two children are spawned and placed on welfare. If the adults do not comply with sterilization: NO WELFARE CHECK!
The adults should have to complete a trade school before the child enters kindergarten and then is taken off Welfare. Child care should only be given in exchanged for hours spent attending job training, school or serving others; Soup kitchens, Old Folks Homes and working at the child care centers.
The Welfare Checks should only be issued when the adult has completed several hours a month painting over graffiti, planting gardens at schools in their neighborhoods. Or chalking up hours doing something positive for their neighborhood or themselves.
The bleeding heart liberals will never allow this. They prefer to just throw our money at them. sigh….
And this isn't only California. When are we, the taxpayers, going to stop this nightmare???????
Here's a quick lesson in why we've got a problem, folks. Be sure to watch what she says at the end.

European Union is about to reach an agreement on Covid travel passports
As the EU members are adjusting to join the common COVID passport system, other countries will have to comply with the EU and WHO principles. Officials in the region say it will not be easy to set up a single system of Covid passports. The tens of thousands of citizens from the region who have been vaccinated in Serbia can get the green certificate, proof of vaccination, through the service for foreigners on the website of the e-government or via e-mail. The interlocutors in the Res publica video podcast recommend the citizens to verify the restrictions in the countries before traveling.

Q: Why isn't Entity Framework recognizing my procedure? I am trying a function import, and EF doesn't recognize my procedure.
That's it:
ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.AddNewTicketFieldOption
    (
        @ticketFieldID INT,
        @optionID INT
    )
AS
BEGIN

INSERT INTO tbTicketFieldOptions
(cdTicketField, cdOption)
VALUES
(@ticketFieldID, @optionID)

--only to return something, EF hack
SELECT 0

END

Actually this procedure doesn't need a return. But I know EF requires it, so I've tried this scalar return (using RETURN 0 also), and selecting top 1 from an entity, using the select of an already recognized procedure.
When I try to update the model, it doesn't show up with this new procedure.
Is it something with the naming? I'm lost with it.

Q: Does Gaussian Naive Bayes have paramter to be tuned I am trying to implement the Gaussian Naive Bayes from a scikit-learn library. I know that the Naive Bayes is based on the Bayes' theorem which is defined in high level as:
posterior = (prior * likelihood) / evidence.
As far as I know, the prior and evidence are learned from the training data.
I am not sure about likelihood whether Q1: is it also learned from the training data or by using Maximum likelihood estimation ?. Q2: Is there any hyper-parameter required to be tuned or not ?.

A: Suppose you have  Bayes Theorem as,
P(A|B) = (P(B|A)*P(A))/P(B)
Where,
P(A|B) = Posterior Probability
P(B|A) = Likelihood
P(A) = Prior Probability
P(B) = Marginal Likelihood

Answers to Your Question

*

*Likelihood is calculated using the training data, and the Maximum Likelihood estimation is used to calculated the maximum value of the likelihood.

*Naive Bayes has almost no hyperparameters to tune, so it usually generalizes well.


The first acts will soon take the stage to open the 2019 Guilford Performing Arts Festival—the second season of an entirely FREE, biennial event that in its inaugural year drew nearly 4,000 people to some 50 performances at just under 20 Guilford venues. More than 300 people performed.
We have a larger and more diverse festival planned for September 26-29, 2019. We'll present a mix of internationally known, local and regional performers in almost every genre of music, theater and dance. We also intend to contribute to the community in a greater way—artistically, socially and economically. Stay tuned, as we'll announce 2019 performers soon. In the meantime, we'd like to tell you about our plans and ask for your support. It's only with your help that we can remain a strong organization, present an entertaining and innovative festival, and keep admission to every event free.
The 2017 festival succeeded largely because of the confidence and investment placed in us by the Guilford Foundation, the tireless work of a board and staff of volunteers, and the community spirit of the hundreds of artists who performed for free. Animated by that energy, we've been planning the 2019 festival almost since the lights went down on the last act in 2017. We were granted 501(c)(3) nonprofit status in 2018 and set out to more explicitly achieve a vision that drove us from the beginning—that we not only put on a great festival but that we also serve the community and encourage the creation of new work by Connecticut artists.
To those ends, we created the Guilford Foundation/GPAF Artists' Awards, which provide grants to professional, Connecticut-based artists who use the funds to create new work. Our first winners were jazz composer/pianist Noah Baerman and playwright Susan Cinoman. You'll be able to see and hear premieres of their work at the 2019 festival.
With some of the most talented artists in world coming to town to perform, we wanted to leverage their presence by giving students and others a chance to learn directly from them. Thanks to a partnership with the Guilford Public Schools, members of a marquee-name dance company, a jazz quartet, a hip-hop violinist, a gospel singer and an innovative theater company will conduct workshops and master classes for students.
We're also working on a partnership in which members of the dance company will work with a local population struggling with substance abuse. That program, details of which we plan to announce this spring, is intended to help participants access their creativity and imagination, expand their forms of communication so as to better understand and convey their feelings and experiences, and to channel their energy in positive ways.
Because we're an all-volunteer organization, 100% of your donation will go to festival activities.
The Connecticut Shoreline is a beautiful area to live and work. Help us make it ever more alive, exciting and vibrant. We appreciate donations of any amount. Follow this link to donate online or send a check payable to GPAF to 316 Little Meadow Road, Guilford CT 06437. We'll acknowledge your generosity on our website, in the festival program and, for the highest donor levels, from the stage at our events. We can't thank you enough for your support.

Are there still birth defects in Hiroshima?
What would happen if the US didn't bomb Japan?
Should the US have bombed Japan?
Why did America not bomb Tokyo?
Seventy-four days after Pearl Harbor, President Roosevelt issued Executive Order No.
The order forced over 110,000 Japanese Americans to leave their homes in California, Washington, and Oregon.
The people forced into camps were deprived of their liberty, a basic freedom of the American Constitution..
Japan surrendered because the Soviet Union entered the war. Japanese leaders said the bomb forced them to surrender because it was less embarrassing to say they had been defeated by a miracle weapon. Americans wanted to believe it, and the myth of nuclear weapons was born.
It was a war without mercy, and the US Office of War Information acknowledged as much in 1945. It noted that the unwillingness of Allied troops to take prisoners in the Pacific theatre had made it difficult for Japanese soldiers to surrender.
Among some there is the unfounded fear that Hiroshima and Nagasaki are still radioactive; in reality, this is not true. Following a nuclear explosion, there are two forms of residual radioactivity. … In fact, nearly all the induced radioactivity decayed within a few days of the explosions.
World War 2 ended with the unconditional surrender of the Axis powers. On 8 May 1945, the Allies accepted Germany's surrender, about a week after Adolf Hitler had committed suicide. VE Day – Victory in Europe celebrates the end of the Second World War on 8 May 1945.
The United States detonated two nuclear weapons over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and 9, 1945, respectively.
Robert Oppenheimer," published earlier this year by Knopf. SIXTY YEARS ago tomorrow, an atomic bomb was dropped without warning on the center of the Japanese city of Hiroshima. One hundred and forty thousand people were killed, more than 95% of them women and children and other noncombatants.
Hiroshima was chosen because it had not been targeted during the US Air Force's conventional bombing raids on Japan, and was therefore regarded as being a suitable place to test the effects of an atomic bomb. It was also an important military base.
The truth is that National Socialist Germany could not possibly have built a weapon like the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima or Nagasaki. This was not because the country lacked the scientists, resources, or will, but rather because its leaders did not really try. They were certainly trying to win the war.
The atomic bombing of the Japanese city killed 140,000 people by December 1945. When Lewis saw the huge mushroom cloud, he uttered the famous remark: "My God, what have we done?" Japan eventually surrendered on August 15, 1945, after the Americans dropped a second atomic bomb on the city of Nagasaki.
Charles W. SweeneyCharles W. Sweeney (December 27, 1919 – July 16, 2004) was an officer in the United States Army Air Forces during World War II and the pilot who flew Bockscar carrying the Fat Man atomic bomb to the Japanese city of Nagasaki on August 9, 1945.
From January 1944 to August 1945, the U.S. dropped 157,000 tons of bombs on Japanese cities, according to the U.S. Strategic Bombing Survey. It estimated that 333,000 people were killed, including the 80,000 killed in the Aug. 6 Hiroshima atomic bomb attack and 40,000 at Nagasaki three days later.
Facebook. If a nuclear-tipped missile were hurtling toward the United States, would we be able to stop it? … Still, it's the only defense we have against an intercontinental ballistic missile or ICBM once it's in the air. On May 30th, 2017, the US tested these defenses against an ICBM-like target for the first time.
On August 13, 1945—four days after the bombing of Nagasaki—two military officials had a phone conversation about how many more bombs to detonate over Japan and when. According to the declassified conversation, there was a third bomb set to be dropped on August 19th.
Bombs dropped from 279 Boeing B-29 Superfortress heavy bombers burned out much of eastern Tokyo. More than 90,000 and possibly over 100,000 Japanese people were killed, mostly civilians, and one million were left homeless, making it the most destructive single air attack in human history.
The explicit reason was to swiftly end the war with Japan. But it was also intended to send a message to the Soviets. Ever since America dropped a second atomic bomb on Nagasaki, Japan on August 9, 1945, the question has persisted: Was that magnitude of death and destruction really needed to end World War II?
The revisionists argue that Japan was already ready to surrender before the atomic bombs. They say the decision to use the bombs anyway indicates ulterior motives on the part of the US government. … It concluded that Japan would have surrendered anyway before November (the planned start date for the full-scale invasion).
But there was never any specific warning to the cities that had been chosen as targets for the atomic bomb prior to the weapon's first use. The omission was deliberate: The United States feared that the Japanese, being forewarned, would shoot down the planes carrying the bombs.
Japan intended the attack as a preventive action to keep the United States Pacific Fleet from interfering with its planned military actions in Southeast Asia against overseas territories of the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and the United States.
Charles W. SweeneyCharles Sweeney, 84; Pilot Who Dropped A-Bomb on Nagasaki. Charles W. Sweeney, a retired Air Force major general who was the only pilot to observe from the cockpit both nuclear blasts that devastated the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and brought World War II to an end, has died.
In mid-July 1945, President Harry Truman was informed that the first test of the atomic bomb on had been successful. The bomb was ready for military use. Internal deliberations and weather conditions ultimately led the U.S. to use a nuclear weapon on Hiroshima and, later, Nagasaki.
Groves states that the commanders believed that the war in Germany was almost over and that Japan would be a better target. This was also based on the construction of Japanese buildings and the strong aerial defense Germany had. To carry the Little Boy and Fat Man bombs, B-29 planes had to be modified.
The Bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki First, of course, was to bring the war with Japan to a speedy end and spare American lives. It has been suggested that the second objective was to demonstrate the new weapon of mass destruction to the Soviet Union.
Ten Million LivesBack to Hiroshima: Why Dropping the Bomb Saved Ten Million Lives.
As the headquarters of the Second Grand Army, the chief concentration of military power in Central Japan, Hiroshima was a major "staging area" for the South Pacific theater of war. … The plutonium-type bomb detonated over Nagasaki actually had a greater explosive power than that used on Hiroshima.
Without the American entry into World War II, it's possible Japan would have consolidated its position of supremacy in East Asia and that the war in Europe could have dragged on for far longer than it did. … There was no evidence of the Japanese moving toward Pearl Harbor that was picked up in Washington."
Birth Defects among the Children of Atomic-bomb Survivors (1948-1954) No statistically significant increase in major birth defects or other untoward pregnancy outcomes was seen among children of survivors. Monitoring of nearly all pregnancies in Hiroshima and Nagasaki began in 1948 and continued for six years.
The result would lead to many more casualties for both the Allies and Japan, possibly even surpassing the over 200,000 civilians who perished from the bombs. Eventually, after more years of fighting, the war, in all likelihood, would have still ended in the Allies' favor, but not without further losses.
"Yes. A bloody invasion and round the clock conventional bombing would have led to a far higher death toll and so the atomic weapons actually saved thousands of American and millions of Japanese lives. The bombs were the best means to bring about unconditional surrender, which is what the US leaders wanted.
The U.S. likely did not target Tokyo for the atomic bomb strikes as it was the seat of the Emperor and the location of much of the high ranking military officers. … The U.S. decided to drop the bombs onto military industrial targets and centers that had significant military utility such as ports and airfields.

Your investment will help Azuri to provide clean energy to 500 families in Kenya
Since Azuri began in 2012, they have focused on Sub-Saharan Africa, and now have one of the widest reaches of any off-grid provider in the region. Azuri is addressing the problem of energy access that affects over 600 million people in Sub-Saharan Africa, a lack of access to the grid. Your investment will help Azuri to provide clean energy to a further 500 households impacting over 2,500 people in Kenya.
This project benefits from match funding from UK aid. UK aid has provided an up-front match of £25,000, meaning that for every £3 invested into this project by the crowd an additional £1 will be invested through match funding.

Azuri in the media
The BBC recently featured Azuri Technologies, one of the pioneering solar companies supported by the Energise Africa initiative, a joint venture between Lendahand and Ethex.
Every £200 invested will allow Azuri to make a SolarPlus home system available to a rural Kenyan family that would otherwise be out of their financial reach. Azuri's PayGo service model enables customers to pay back the cost of the system over time (typically 30 months) after which they fully own the system and can continue to use it for free.
The SolarPlus system (a Lighting Africa quality assured product) includes a 50W solar panel, a rechargeable battery, 4 powerful LED lights, a rechargeable torch and radio and 2 USB phone charging cables. Furthermore, the system has the ability to power an energy-efficient 24-inch LED satellite TV with access to 57 TV and 21 Radio channels. Azuri's customers increasingly want a fuller on-grid system experience. With the SolarPlus system, when powered by a full days' worth of sunlight, families are provided with up to 5 hours of Lighting and TV, as well as phone charging.
Azuri aims to raise £100,000 of investment, enabling them to manufacture and distribute at least 500 SolarPlus systems together with their local distribution partners. Furthermore, Azuri will also co-invest a further £33,300 alongside this investment to purchase an additional 167 SolarPlus systems - making a combined total of at least 667 SolarPlus systems which can be purchased and deployed.
Azuri also aims to recycle capital repaid by its solar customers during the 24 month loan period to procure additional SolarPlus systems to further maximise impact.
Azuri Tech
Azuri will deploy the funds across Kenya, where today, approximately 4 million households do not have access to mains electricity. Working with local distribution partners Azuri will continue to extend the scope of its operations across remote rural regions where access to mains grid electricity is limited, including the Rift Valley, Western and Nyanza provinces.
Thanks to Azuri's expertise in last-mile distribution, combined with an extensive team of field agents visiting every customer, units funded and installed by this project will be geotagged. This helps Azuri keep track of where customers are (in absence of formal addresses in remote villages), and enables Azuri to provide high quality customer service on an ongoing basis after the system is installed. Furthermore, in the event of problems or need for support, it means Azuri can also quickly dispatch an agent to help customers.
Solar home systems, such as the SolarPlus system, have been shown to have a significant impact on customers' lives and the environment. To date, Azuri has sold more than 100,000 systems across Africa, with the potential to provide approximately 0.5 million people with access to solar energy.
The installation of solar home systems to off grid families has significant impacts that can be divided into the following categories: lifestyle, flexibility, health and safety, and economic. Over the years, Azuri's own customers have told us how their solar home systems have benefitted them:
My air quality has improved
My family's previous kerosene-related health issues have reduced
I feel safer
My children can study more
The money I save on kerosene, batteries, and candles I mainly use for my children's education
I have more evening home visits from family and friends
Using industry-recognised Global Off-Grid Lighting Association (GOGLA) impact metrics, Azuri has calculated the environmental impact of installing 500 SolarPlus systems as follows:

Q: PsExec copy script and run on remote computer I am trying to show an confirmation-box on a remote computer and from what I understand I can't use invoke-command for any interactive scripts.
I found some tips in a forum-post that I need to run PsExec to be able to run interactive scripts.
I managed to get the script running on a remote host by using:
PsExec \\<Host> -s -i powershell -WindowStyle Hidden c:\temp\test.ps1

But that just works if the script is already in "c:\temp\test.ps1" on the remote host. I have tried using:
PsExec \\<host> -i -s powershell.exe -c c:\dev\scripts\test.ps1 test.ps1

and different variations of the "c" and "f" parameters but I only get a flashing black window on the remote host when I run the command from my server. What am I doing wrong?

Consumer Reports: Avoid Romaine Lettuce for Now as Health Officials Investigate Possible Link to E. Coli Food Poisoning

Oops, we messed up. Try again later
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Health officials are investigating a series of recent illnesses from a dangerous strain of E. coli bacteria that may be linked to romaine lettuce. Five people in the U.S. have been hospitalized and one has died, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). There has also been one death reported in Canada.
Food safety experts at Consumer Reports are advising that consumers stop eating romaine lettuce until the cause of the outbreak is identified and that product is removed from store shelves.
Over the past seven weeks, 58 people in the U.S. and Canada have become ill from the strain of E. coli (0157:H7). In the U.S., the infections have occurred in 13 states — California, Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Vermont, and Washington state.
Canadian health authorities identified romaine lettuce as the source of the outbreak in Canada, and are advising people in the country's eastern provinces to consider eating other types of salad greens until further notice. In the U.S., government health officials are investigating the outbreaks, but have stopped short of recommending people avoid romaine lettuce or any other food.
Even though we can't say with 100 percent certainty that romaine lettuce is the cause of the E. coli outbreak in the U.S., a greater degree of caution is appropriate given that romaine lettuce is almost always consumed raw.
James Rogers, Ph.D., Director of Food Safety and Research at Consumer Reports, said, "Even though we can't say with 100 percent certainty that romaine lettuce is the cause of the E. coli outbreak in the U.S., a greater degree of caution is appropriate given that romaine lettuce is almost always consumed raw." While anyone can get sick if they are infected with this strain of E. coli, young children, the elderly, and anyone who has a condition that weakens the immune system, such as cancer or diabetes, are at a greater risk. Rogers advises that people in these groups should be particularly vigilant about avoiding romaine lettuce.
The CDC and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are investigating the E. coli infections in the U.S. According to the CDC, the type of E. coli making people sick is genetically similar to the bacteria involved in the Canadian outbreak. Still, the CDC says it does not have enough information to recommend people in the U.S. avoid a particular food.
The FDA should follow the lead of the Canadian government and immediately warn the public about this risk. The available data strongly suggest that romaine lettuce is the source of the U.S. outbreak. If so, and people aren't warned, more may get sick.
Jean Halloran
Jean Halloran, Director of Food Policy Initiatives at Consumers Union, the policy and mobilization division of Consumer Reports, said, "The FDA should follow the lead of the Canadian government and immediately warn the public about this risk. The available data strongly suggest that romaine lettuce is the source of the U.S. outbreak. If so, and people aren't warned, more may get sick."
Neither the U.S. nor Canadian health officials have provided information on where the romaine lettuce potentially involved in the illnesses was grown or processed, so for now, Consumer Reports says consumers should assume that any romaine lettuce, even when sold in bags and packages, could possibly be contaminated. Do not buy romaine lettuce and don't use any that you may have in your refrigerator until there is more information on the source of contamination. Consumers should also check salad blends and mixes, and avoid those that contain romaine.

The stimulus for our "Marco Polo" collection came from the Netflix series of the same name. Inspired by the large tonal rugs used on the walls, floors and doorways in the yurts of Kublai Khan and his tribes, we created a collection of antique style Mongolian style designs. The original Mongol rugs were not woven in a traditional fashion, but produced by wetting, flattening and rolling (dragged on a pole by horses) wool into a thick felt. This meant any designs had to be relatively bold a simplistic.
Our Mongolian style rugs use a combination of two colours and are hand-tufted using a high-grade wool. As with all our rugs they are made to measure, and you can choose from over 90 base colour combinations.


For the first time ever, our Underage Players took part in the St Patricks Day Parade in Cork City. Dressed in their Dillons colours, close on 45 girls represented our Club and they did us proud. The U10's were high as a kite with excitement while the U16's who were at bit more subdued, showed off their skills to the large attendance. A great day out and great exposure for our Club. Thanks to all our girls who were extreemely well behaved. Thanks also to the parents for their attendance and support. All the preparation was well worth the effort and a million thanks to Karen, Cathriona, Mary and Niall. Please log on to Camogie Photos.


The installer is asking me which analyzer I have. I have an older unit that isn't on the list. Can I not use BC?
Some of our newer analyzers have advanced features that require additional software and/or special settings to be able to take advantage of them. This is why the installer is asking you what model analyzer you have. If you have an older analyzer that is not in the list, select the "Quantum-II".

Health care workers plead with Triangle residents: don't let down your guard as COVID-19 cases soar
by: Maggie Newland
RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) — While we're all getting frustrated with the COVID-19 pandemic, health care workers are pleading with people not to let down their guard. They say precautions are more important now than ever.
Johnston Health's chief medical officer Rodney McCaskill summed up the situation.
After his family catches COVID-19, Johnston Health chief medical officer says vaccines work
"Everybody's tired of this," he said. "The best thing you can do is just be safe, and that means get vaccinated. I can't say that enough."
With the ultra-contagious omicron variant of COVID-19 taking over, health care workers say even vaccinated people must continue to be careful.
"You can't just assume that because you're vaccinated you can go back to the life you were living in 2019," said WakeMed infection prevention specialist Jessica Dixon. "You still need to wear masks you still need to think about where you go and whom you're around."
"It doesn't mean lock yourself in your house, but definitely take precautions when you're out among people," Dixon added. "This is a very risky time. There's more COVID out here now than there has ever been."
Triangle hospitals need people to stop going to the ER for COVID-19 tests
While health care workers say vaccines and boosters are preventing most cases of severe disease and death, they aren't necessarily preventing infection with the omicron variant.
"The numbers that I'm seeing every day when I open up my list of positive tests, it's horrifying," said Dixon.
Friday, North Carolina's positivity rate was above 31 percent.
Doctors say the high positivity rate means people should assume there is someone with COVID-19 just about everywhere they go, and make sure to wear a mask.

All right?? It's amazing but finally in mid-March I had the courage to go out without socks and you can not understand that liberation !! Aside from the cost savings given that I break virtually a couple of socks a week, the beauty of being able to run without socks is really indescribable !! Of course, the evening is still a bit 'too cold, but for the hottest hours you can definitely do, even if your legs are white!!
I wore this look that I show you today for an afternoon stroll taking advantage of the good weather. I tried to create a look suitable to the occasion, but with a touch more and I then chose a large bag, a pair of comfortable and stylish dress shoes that are able to play down with a nail leather!
Let's find out the look!
To create this look, I left the shoes, a pair of slippers Charles Phillips super comfortable and always characterized by fabrics and prints relevant today! I chose this model in camouflage fabric, perfect for spring. I then matched the shoes to a short black dress, but with long sleeves made of Asos and a mud-colored leather jacket that I laid on his shoulders because the climate was good!
To top it all I then chose a couple of simple and golden trim RayBan that are a must have for this spring / summer and a wide and comfortable designer bag Caterina Lucchi characterized by working tonal fabric and handles and trim Leather!

Biden endorsed by John Kerry, 2004 Democratic presidential nominee
By Trevor Hunnicutt

(Reuters) - Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden on Thursday won the endorsement of his party's former presidential nominee, John Kerry, a high-profile show of support.
Kerry was the Democratic nominee in 2004, when he lost narrowly to Republican President George W. Bush.
His support could help Biden make the case that he is the Democrat best-suited to face President Donald Trump in the November 2020 election. Kerry also served as secretary of state under President Barack Obama and was a longtime U.S. senator from Massachusetts.
"I've never before seen the world more in need of someone who on day one can begin the incredibly hard work of putting back together the world Donald Trump has smashed apart," Kerry said in a statement, crediting Biden's help on fighting Islamic State and striking a deal on Iran's nuclear program.
Biden argues that his foreign policy experience as a longtime senator and then Obama's vice-president have prepared him for the White House.
But he is facing a tough primary against 14 other Democrats, including a current U.S. senator from Massachusetts, Elizabeth Warren.
Kerry will join Biden on the campaign trail on Friday in Iowa and on Sunday in New Hampshire, a state that neighbours Massachusetts and where Kerry's endorsement may be particularly important. Iowa and New Hampshire will be the first states to select a Democratic nominee next February, and Kerry won both states in the 2004 primaries.
One of Biden's other Democratic rivals, South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, announced the endorsement of three Obama administration officials earlier on Thursday, including close Obama aide Reggie Love, former Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers Austan Goolsbee and Linda Douglass, former director of communications for the White House Office of Health Reform.

The implemented measures within the framework of the LIFE+ Alte Donau project are based on the rich fund of experience gathered by Municipal Department 45 - Water Management (MA 45) and the latest findings from the field of water resource management for bodies of standing water.
Various different sets of measures have been developed and combined within the programming period 2013 to March 2018 under the approach of "Integrated Water Resource Management".
The planned measures were aimed at safeguarding good water quality, restoring selected peripheral zones and stretches of shore, maintaining biodiversity and improving the coordinated management of the aquatic vegetation (macrophytes). In view of the Alte Donau's role as a local recreation area, the interaction of the various user groups was analysed and optimized.
A large number of measures have been implemented on and around the Alte Donau within the programming period. An informative map shows them all at a glance.
Here, a lakeshore site formerly in private use was taken over by the City of Vienna and carefully revamped. In May 2015 the renamed ArbeiterInnenstrand was opened for public use by all visitors to the Alte Donau.
Much has also been done around the lakeshore: the long-term goal is to increase the proportion of near-natural stretches of lakeshore to around five and a half kilometres, or roughly a third of the perimeter of the Alte Donau. For example, the stretch of lakeshore between Drygalskiweg and Mühlschüttelgasse and another section at Broßmannplatz have been redesigned. In both locations a series of hydraulic engineering measures were carried out, and trees and reeds were planted on the lakeshore.
The centrepiece of the LIFE+ project from the hydraulic engineering point of view is the innovative biological filter bed in the Water Park, via which water from the Neue Donau is fed into the Alte Donau. The new filter bed is a true prototype, designed to safeguard the outstanding water quality of the Alte Donau for the long term. The construction works started in March 2016, and the filter bed went into operation in August 2016.
The brochure The LIFE+ Alte Donau Project provides details of all measures implemented within the programming period (2013 to March 2018).

Companies Struggle to Quantify Climate Risk
Stakeholders want more information on climate-related risk, but for the most part it's not readily available.
Katherine BlueNovember 22, 2017
A Faster Close with NetSuite ERP
Learn how Ubiquity Retirement + Savings switched from QuickBooks to NetSuite ERP and brought their close from 21 days to five.
As climate change awareness intensifies, investors, lenders, insurers, and other stakeholders are factoring climate-related risks into decisions. Therefore, corporations are expected to disclose relevant information about the financial impacts of climate change on their businesses.
Katharine Blue
However, such information is not readily available, and many companies are struggling to identify, quantify, and report these risks.
Back in 2010, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission issued public-company guidance to address the disclosure of material impacts of climate change. This was intended to incentivize investment in sustainable businesses, while responding to growing investor awareness of the importance of climate change.
In 2015, Mark Carney, chairman of the Financial Stability Board (FSB) and chair and governor of the Bank of England, formed the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), the first international initiative to examine climate change in the context of financial stability.
Despite these developments, there has been little change in how companies disclose climate-related information. The KPMG Survey of Corporate Responsibility Reporting 2017 found that three-quarters of the largest companies worldwide by revenue (the G250) don't acknowledge climate change as a financial risk. And nearly half of the largest 100 U.S. companies by revenue (the N100) don't acknowledge financial risks of climate change in annual reports.
Furthermore, no companies that do recognize these risks publicly quantify them in financial terms or model their potential financial impact using scenario analysis.
So, what are climate-related financial risks, and why is disclosure increasing in importance
The TCFD describes two climate risk categories: transition and physical risks, according to KPMG's FSB Task Force on Climate Related Financial Disclosures report.
Transition risks include the financial and reputational impact of failing to make a successful commercial transition to the low-carbon economy. This could include policy actions that attempt to mitigate climate change or encourage adaptation to it, litigation claims against companies for contributing to climate change (or failing to act on it), or risks of the displacement of existing technologies with new technologies and infrastructure and changes in market dynamics.
Physical risks include the financial impacts of the physical effects of climate change. This could include disruption to a corporation's operations from extreme weather or impacts from longer-term shifts in climate patterns.
The TCFD has highlighted opportunities that can be realized by companies through efforts to mitigate and adapt to climate change, including:
Reducing operating costs and curbing emissions through resource efficiencies
Realizing energy cost savings from the decreasing cost of low-emission energy sources
Capitalizing on increasing commercial opportunities from the growing global market for low-emission products, services, and supporting infrastructure
In July 2017, the TCFD submitted recommendations to the G20, offering guidance on how organizations should disclose climate-related risk in public financial filings. The recommendations are designed to generate actionable, forward-looking information on climate-related financial impacts and increase the focus on risks and opportunities related to a transition to a lower-carbon economy.
Why aren't companies disclosing climate information? Most have never had to before, and there are no widely established processes for the scenario-based climate risk reporting that the TCFD recommends.
Companies must first acknowledge the existence of climate risks and work to understand their likelihood and potential business impact. Without awareness by top management or external pressures driving disclosure, climate does not get elevated as an enterprise risk in the same way financial or operational risks might. Climate-related financial risks should also be pinpointed for attention by boards of directors, and companies should adapt their risk management processes to identify and manage them.
Companies should also assess climate-related financial risks and opportunities. The TCFD recommends scenario analysis to assess potential business, strategic, and financial implications of climate-related risks and opportunities and that public disclosures provide technical guidance.
We are witnessing some progress. Companies are adopting science-based targets (23% of both the G250 and the N100). Such targets can help companies demonstrate to their investors, suppliers, workforces, and the public their preparedness to transition to a low-carbon economy and can be an important first step in adopting TCFD recommendations.
The use of these targets should increase as investors seek assurance that companies are prepared for a low-carbon future.

The Afghan Hound is a truly ancient breed, older than written history itself. Bred for grace and speed, these are sighthounds, which are able to track and chase down prey with wicked speed. As pets, these dogs are aristocratic in bearing, but can let their goofy side shine with those that they love. Read on to learn more about the Afghan Hound.
These dogs are known for their gorgeous coats. It comes in many, many shades, and even more markings. Silky, thick, and long it ranges the gamut: black, blue, black and silver, blue and cream, red, silver, cream, black and tan, and white.
Behind all that hair is an elegant build. Surprisingly big paws propel the lean frame into bouts of uninhibited speed.
Noblemen bred these dogs to be hunters and companions. Their breeding took place deep within Central and South Asia, and they made their way to Europe and the British Empire decades later.
Well-bred and cared for Afghans can live lengthy lives. Their life expectancy is anywhere between 12 and 18 years.
Although these dogs are lanky, they don't have much bulk. They can stand between 25 and 27 inches tall, and weigh just 50 to 60 pounds.
This breed, like most sighthounds, is not a protector. Afghans are generally wary of strangers, but quiet and non-aggressive. Their elegant looks aren't much of a deterrent, either!
These dogs can be reactive and even jumpy. If they feel that you are yelling, or have an intimidating presence, they will likely shut down. Afghans do not like to be manhandled and may simply refuse to do anything if they are uncomfortable.
Early obedience training will instill good habits. Maintain a positive and calm attitude, both during training, and in your daily life, and your Afghan should have no trouble listening. Take the time to be sure he fully understands what you want.
Be sure to build training on reward- and relationship-based methods from the get-go. Treats can be a great motivator to help set a positive and fun tone for training sessions.
These dogs need bouts of strenuous daily activity. It is important to let them stretch their legs in order to keep fit and mentally sound. For most of the days, Afghans are content to laze around as long as they have that hour or two of activity.
This dog is a quiet, composed companion most of the time, as they're content to serve as a beautiful throw rug. However, when Afghans feel comfortable, they'll show their goofy and playful side.
These dogs have sensitive personalities and require calm, collected owners. In the right situation, they can live long, joyful lives.
These dogs are not necessarily hardy, but are well adapted for sighthounds. Their sensitive personalities will reward owners that care.
The Afghan's long coat will protect him from most of the elements. They are slim enough to avoid overheating like many larger dogs. Still, in the winter, their hair serves as an efficient coat. In extreme cold, they may require additional protection or more time indoors.
The most important part of the Afghan's routine is his run. These dogs should have a safe, enclosed area for all-out sprints. They are generally too distractible to run in the open and may easily get themselves into trouble.
After this daily bout of exercise, most Afghan Hounds are content to chill out. They may enjoy additional play time with their family where they can let their goofy side loose.
Surprisingly, this breed does not shed heavily. However, they will still need plenty of coat care.
When fully grown, Afghans require hours of brushing each week. At least a short session each day will help their coats avoid tangles. Baths can be less frequent, just once a month or so.
This breed is perfect for a sensitive owner that will appreciate her beguiling personalities. As a dog that is reserved most of the time, the Afghan saves her true personality for those she cares about.
Owners should be calm and well-adjusted. These dogs may get along with well-behaved children, but are generally too sensitive for shenanigans.
Homes should have plenty of enclosed outdoor space for running.
Afghans suffer from common problems like eye degeneration, hip pain, and bloat. Other issues include thyroid regulation. Generally speaking, though, this breed is quite healthy.
Most sighthounds are sensitive to anesthesia, so make sure your veterinarian is aware.
This breed can be destructive when distressed. This may stem from boredom, stress, or loneliness.
Other issues surround Afghan Hounds' uncanny athletic ability. They can scale high fences, and chase after prey, faster than you can call out their name. Take care with enclosures.

Cabinet of Curiosities: Cultivating a Sense of Wonder
By: Eszter C.
In the 16th and 17th centuries, Europe opened its eyes to the unfamiliar western hemisphere. Explorers, merchants, and navigators became fascinated by the riches and peculiarities of the New World.
Discoveries of alligator skins and dinosaur bones propelled collectors to show off their finds to their friends. But how? By collecting and preserving the most unique flora and fauna, they would introduce the strangeness of the world from the comfort of their home.
A cabinet of curiosities is a collection of nature in all of its forms, displayed in no particular order. You will find palm-leaf fans next to gold-plated shells along with portraits from respected artists. The boundaries between science, art, and life disappear. In their place, nature unifies each object to create a miniature representation of the entire universe.
"What is beautiful in science is the same thing that is beautiful in Beethoven. There's a fog of events and suddenly you see a connection. It expresses a complex of human concerns that goes deeply to you, that connects things that were always in you that were never put together before." – Victor Weisskopf
One of the most famous cabinets is Ole Worm's Musei Wormiani. It shows a diverse collection of artifacts displayed without order.
Ole Worm's cabinet of curiosities, from Museum Wormianum, 1655.
Levinus Vincent, a Dutch designer, and merchant also took a liking to these collections. His eight cabinets contained "600 phials of animal cadavers in spirits, 288 boxes of indigenous and exotic insects, 32 drawers of shells and crustaceans, 14 drawers of minerals and fossils, and a cabinet with a woodland-like scene created from different kinds of corals and sponges."
Illustrations from the book, Wondertooneel der Nature - a Cabinet of Curiosities or Wunderkammern.
Visitors in the natural history cabinet of Levinus Vincent in Haarlem. In the large room of the cabinet of curiosities, objects such as corals, minerals, fossils and stuffed animals are displayed along walls. Visitors can take a closer look at the artifacts from the long tables.
Others captured the eccentricities of the animal kingdom through drawings and sketches. The Naturalist's Pocket Magazine showed the beauties of nature through illustrations.
Title page of the Naturalist's Pocket Magazine from the Natural History Museum in London.
Plate of Spotted Guaperva from the Natural History Museum.
Plate of Sapphire-Crowned Parroquet from the Natural History Museum.
Plate of Ternate Bat from the Natural History Museum.
These collectors created a tangible encyclopedia by representing the entire world through objects, books, and organisms. The world was available for investigation right in their cabinet. You could examine seashells from the Americas and the Asian islands at the same time. In a way, the Internet is a digital curiosity cabinet. From a single location, you can browse through the knowledge of the entire world. The tabs of your browser act like digital cabinets.
Science progressed as a result of making associations. You didn't need to be a trained scientist to be at the forefront of science. Charles Darwin was an eager naturalist who revolutionized biology by studying the similarities and differences between finches. All he needed was a curious eye and a sense of wonder.
"Those who dwell among the beauties and mysteries of the earth are never alone or weary of life." – Rachel Carson
A cabinet of curiosities is the intersection of science, art, innovation, and education. It's interactive, immersive, and encourages forming your own opinions and conclusions.
I remember when I played with the objects in the National Museum of Natural History. When I was a little kid, it was one of my favorite museums. There was so much to look at in a relatively small space. You could observe the entire world as giant squid, dinosaur bones, and precious minerals were only a few feet from each other. But I only fell in love with the museum when they opened up a new wing. Shelves of fossils and preserved specimens were in glass boxes. You could take these out and observe them under high-powered microscopes. I dashed from one bookcase to the other, my eyes wild with excitement. Once I discovered this part of the museum, I didn't care about the exhibitions anymore. I cared about making my own discoveries.
The beauty of the curiosity cabinet is that it encourages lateral thinking. You don't need to be an expert. Exploration is about letting go and letting the path take you wherever it meanders. The Age of Exploration didn't stop in the 16th century. It is very much alive today.
"We need the tonic of wildness, — to wade sometimes in marshes where the bittern and the meadow-hen lurk, and hear the booming of the snipe; to smell the whispering sedge where only some wilder and more solitary fowl builds her nest, and the mink crawls with its belly close to the ground. At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea be infinitely wild, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us because unfathomable." – Henry David Thoreau

How about "stand your ground" law for Florida's animals?
October 12, 2015 animals, boating, hunting, news, newsfeed, outdoors, pets, Uncategorized.
This photo, entitled An Alligator Glides Silently Through, won Gardens Councilman David Levy the Florida State Parks June photo contest.
You've probably heard of Florida's "stand your ground" law, a law that allows people to respond to force with deadly force if necessary to combat a threat to them in public.
The controversial law has been on the books in Florida for the past 10 years.
But what about "Stand Your Ground" for Florida's animals?
Apparently not. If so, the alligator that chomped Kemp Galleneau, an alligator hunter in Volusia County, on Sunday was well within its rights.
Over the weekend, Galleneau, who is licensed to hunt alligators, had tried to harpoon a 12-foot alligator alongside his boat in a lake at the Pine Island Resort campground in Seville.
Instead, Galleneau fell into the water and the attacked gator responded by biting the man's leg. He survived.
But the gator didn't. Because the reptile had bitten the man, it was later killed by a trapper.
Even though this was clearly a case of "Stand Your Ground" in Florida, or maybe "Stand Your Lake."
That might not be the final word on the subject.
There's a more sympathetic member of the animal kingdom in Florida that just might prevail in a "stand your ground" defense.
There's an effort to apply the law to Padi, a black Labrador-mix dog that bit the ear off a 4-year-old boy in a veterinarian's office this summer in Manatee County.
The boy had been trying to play with the rescue dog in the vet's office, and the bite was reportedly the result of the unsupervised child allegedly provoking the dog. Here's the story.
News of this has created a well of sympathy for the marked-for-execution dog. A "Free Padi" Facebook page has been started. Padi's fate may be decided during its upcoming court date on Nov. 4.

Pirates to celebrate golden anniversary of another broken color barrier
The Pittsburgh Pirates did something that had never happened in the history of Major League Baseball on Sept. 1, 1971. This was five days before my 11th birthday.
The nine Pirates starters were players of color. The 50th anniversary of this milestone evening is upcoming, and currently there are MLB teams that have NO Black players.
Dock Ellis, a 1971 All-Star who had thrown a no-hitter while on the effects of LSD on June 12, 1970, was the starting pitcher. Manny Sanguillen was catcher, and Al Oliver was at first base.
Rennie Stennett played second base. Dave Cash, the team's usual second baseman, played third base. Jackie Hernandez played shortstop. Gene Clines and future Hall of Famers Willie Stargell and Roberto Clemente played in the outfield. Sanguillen, Clemente, Stennett and Hernandez were Latino.
According to history.com, you won't find any mention in a Pittsburgh newspaper. Racism was not the reason. Both of its major newspapers were on strike.
It was "briefly mentioned" by longtime Pirates radio announcer Bob Prince and his partner Nellie King and just 11,278 attended the game in Pittsburgh's Three Rivers Stadium.
"I don't think we even realized it until the second inning," King told the Pittsburgh Press in 1986.
"We didn't make a big thing about it on the air. We mentioned it, I'm sure, but we didn't dwell on it."
It should be noted that Prince, a flamboyant and opinionated broadcaster, "spoke Spanish, took many of the Pirates' Black and Latin players under his wing, inviting them to his home and giving them advice on how to survive life as a major leaguer. One of those players was Clemente," according to Prince's Society for American Baseball Research biography.
When the 40th anniversary of the historic contest was celebrated in 2011, Oliver told mlb.com that he and teammates didn't realize what was happening until well into the game.
"It really wasn't a major thing, until around the third or fourth inning, and Dave Cash was sitting next to me and one of us said: 'You know, we got all brothers out there, man,' and we kind of chuckled, because it was no big deal to us," he said.
"We really had no idea that history was being made."
Pirates manager Danny Murtaugh told UPI after the game he could have cared less about the color his players.
"When it comes to making out the lineup, I'm colorblind, and the athletes know it," Murtaugh said.
"The best men in our organization are the ones who are here. And the ones who are here all play, depending on when the circumstances present themselves."
Ellis lasted less than two innings after the visiting Philadelphia Phillies hammered him early. Bob Moose, a white pitcher, replaced him. The Pirates rallied to win 10-7. Clemente, Stargell and Sanguillen each drove in two runs.
The Pirates would go on to win the World Series over the favored Baltimore Orioles, winning the final two games on the road.
Clemente capped the historic season by becoming the first Latin American player to win the World Series MVP Award.
