Single-Season Pirates Home Run Leaders: The Top 27
Posted on April 5, 2022 August 17, 2022 by Matt Musico
If you want to talk about domination, you may not have to look much further than the Pirates home run leaders for a single season. Seriously, though — the top-10 is made up of just three dudes. Three!
Ralph Kiner is listed more than the other two combined, and it shows just how dominant he was during his MLB career. Due to the lack of different names on the list, we've extended it to the top-27 so we can see how else hit a lot of home runs in a single season for the Pirates.
Pirates Home Run Leaders: Top 10
Ralph Kiner
When you see someone is a Hall of Famer despite playing just 10 big-league seasons, you know that player dominated during their short time in The Show. That's exactly what happened for Kiner. He doesn't just hold the Pirates' single-season home run record, he completely overtakes the top of the leaderboard.
He led the league in homers during his first seven MLB seasons, and the only time he didn't finish with fewer than 20 homers was his final year in 1955 with Cleveland (he hit 18). Regarding Pirates history, six (!) of Kiner's seasons in Pittsburgh are still within the top-15 of the franchise leaderboard, with five of them in the top seven.
Here's a quick rundown of them all (with his franchise rank in parenthesis):
54 homers in 1949 (first)
51 homers in 1947 (second)
47 homers in 1950 (fourth)
42 homers in 1951 (sixth)
40 homers in 1948 (seventh)
And as we can see here, Kiner enjoyed five straight campaigns of 40-plus homers from 1947 to 1951. Let's take a second to marvel over the performance that towers over the rest, which was his 54-dinger output in 1949. Kiner also led the league with 127 RBI while slashing .310/.432/.658 in 667 plate appearances.
Although Kiner's first-half OPS (1.095) was higher than his second-half OPS (1.084), he hit 31 of his home runs following the All-Star break. How did that happen? Well, he absolutely went off in August and September, hitting 27 combined home runs (11 in August, 16 in September). That final month had some crazy stats attached to it, as the Hall of Famer added 33 RBI and a .330/.481/.870 line to all those dingers.

Willie Stargell
Willie Stargell is Pittsburgh's all-time home run leader, and he did that by being a consistent slugger throughout his big-league career. He suited up for 21 years — all with the Pirates — and slugged at least 20 homers 15 total times (including 13 years in a row between 1964 and 1976). Stargell got himself over 30 on six different occasions, but two instances stand out from the rest.
In 1971, he slugged 48 home runs, which is third all-time in Pirates history. Two years later in 1973, he got close to matching that number but settled for the fifth-most dingers in a single season for Pittsburgh with 44. The four other times he surpassed the 30-homer plateau, Stargell didn't hit more than 33.
Stargell did the majority of his work in the first half, slashing .320/.396/.705 with 30 homers and 87 RBI prior to the All-Star break. Those numbers dropped to .265/.399/.535, 18, and 38, respectively, in the second half. There were only two months where Stargell surpassed 10 homers and 20 RBI during the '71 campaign: April (11 homers, 27 RBI) and June (11 homers, 36 RBI). They were also the only times his OPS got up over 1.000.
Brian Giles
Brian Giles spent nearly five years with the Pirates, and they were the most powerful years of his career. Not including 2003 when he went from the Pirates to the San Diego Padres, Giles enjoyed four seasons with at least 35 home runs. Three of those instances are still in Pittsburgh's top-10: 39 homers in 1999, 38 homers in 2002, and 37 homers in 2001. The other one (35 dingers in 2000), you'll see below.
How significant was Giles' prime with the Buccos? Well, in years he didn't spend the entire season with the club, he accumulated 20-plus homers just two other times: 20 in 2003 (split between San Diego and Pittsburgh) and 23 in 2004 (with San Diego). That's it.
During the 1999 campaign, there were two specific pitch counts where Giles hit the majority of his home runs. The outfielder slugged eight dingers with a 1.145 OPS on the first pitch and another eight with a 1.465 OPS on 1-1 counts. The 2002 Pirates finished 72-89, so if a player was going to rack up stats, they'd have to do it when the team was winning and losing. While Giles was more effective in wins (1.227), he was still pretty good in losses (.952) and hit the same number of homers (19) in each situation. Of course, he had more chances to get there when the Pirates ended up in the loss column.
Pirates Home Run Leaders: The Rest
Here's what the remainder of the Pirates' top-27 single-season home run performances looks like:
Ralph Kiner, 1952: 37 home runs
Josh Bell, 2019: 37
Pedro Alvarez, 2013: 36
Brian Giles, 2000: 35
Jason Bay, 2006: 35
Dick Stuart, 1961: 35
Frank Thomas, 1958: 35
Barry Bonds, 1992: 34
Aramis Ramirez, 2001: 34
Willie Stargell, 1966 and 1972: 33
Bobby Bonilla, 1990: 32
Andrew McCutchen, 2012: 31
Jason Thompson, 1982: 31
Willie Stargell, 1970: 31

State orders more sampling at proposed compressor site
Jessica Trufant
jtrufant@patriotledger.com
WEYMOUTH — State regulators are requiring more environmental sampling at the proposed site of a 7,700-horsepower natural-gas compressor station on the banks of the Fore River after determining hazardous waste cleanup there may not be adequate.
The state Department of Environmental Protection completed its own audit of the cleanup of the site and determined that the steps taken by Algonquin Gas Transmission, a subsidiary of Spectra Energy-Enbridge, did not fully comply with the state's hazardous waste cleanup regulations.
"MassDEP is now requiring additional steps be taken to protect public health and the environment," Ed Coletta, a spokesman for the state Department of Environmental Protection, said in a statement. "The Baker-Polito Administration remains committed to ensuring that the environmental assessment and cleanup actions meet all state environmental requirements, and that additional steps are taken to properly assess and clean up the site."
Algonquin will have until July 19 to collect more samples at the site and provide more information to the state.
The decision to conduct an audit was made after Weymouth Mayor Robert Hedlund and other officials raised concerns that consultants for the natural-gas company made errors in an assessment of the site conducted two years ago.
That review was required when Calpine, the owner of a North Weymouth power plant, sold three lots totaling 16 acres to Algonquin for $13 million in 2017. State law regulates the cleanup of oil and hazardous materials in soil and groundwater, usually during a real estate transfer.
The Bridge Street property was previously used by Boston Edison to store and dispose of coal and ash for its Edgar station on the other side of Route 3A. The company later put an 11.3-million-gallon above-ground oil tank on the property that also caused contamination. Soil assessments in 1991 and 1992 identified polyaromatic hydrocarbons — chemicals that form during the incomplete burning of coal — plus coal, ash and metals, including arsenic.
Consultants from TRC Environmental Corp. identified the land as "historic fill" — material brought onto a site to raise a topographic elevation — but officials and residents argue that coal ash doesn't meet that definition.
State regulators agreed in their audit, and said "the fill material originated from operations or activities at the location of emplacement and that the fill is a manufacturing waste," not historic fill. Regulators said the company will have to further assess the nature and extent of metals in the soil and groundwater caused by the waste.
Hedlund said he's not surprised by the audit's findings.
"It was pretty obvious for a lay person who is not well versed in (environmental law) that it was flawed. It's general knowledge of the history of the site," he said. "It's frustrating that we have to devote town resources and time to see that our interests are protected and the process is followed, both for state regulations and federal law."
Spectra Energy-Enbridge received initial approval for the compressor station from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in January 2017, but the company still needs several state permits.
The state Department of Environmental Protection issued an air-quality permit on Jan. 11, a week after the Metropolitan Area Planning Council released a health-impact assessment that found that the compressor station would be unlikely to affect health and noise in the area.
Gov. Charlie Baker had ordered the study in July 2017 amid strong local opposition to the project from officials and residents in Weymouth, Quincy, Braintree and Hingham who say the plant would vent pollution and toxic gases and that it could explode in the densely populated neighborhood.
The state also issued wetlands and waterways permits, which are under appeal.
The state Office of Coastal Zone Management must decide whether the project is consistent with the federal Coastal Zone Management Act, but not until the project has first obtained the waterways permit.

Current early childhood systems of care are not geared to respond to the complex needs of preschoolers at risk for mental health problems in a timely, coordinated, multidisciplinary, and comprehensive fashion. Evidence-informed policy represents an opportunity for implementing prevention, promotion, and early intervention at the population or at-risk level. Exposure to risk factors as well as the presence of clinical disorders can derail the developmental trajectories of preschoolers, and problems may persist if left untreated. One way to address these multiple research-to-policy gaps are systematic reviews sensitive to context and knowledge user needs, such as the realist review. The realist review is an iterative process between research teams and knowledge users to build mid-level program theories in order to understand which interventions work best for whom and under what context.
The realist review employs five 'iterative' steps: (1) clarify scope, (2) search for evidence, (3) appraise primary studies and extract data, (4) synthesize the evidence, and (5) disseminate, implement, and evaluate evidence, to answer two research questions: What interventions improve mental health outcomes for preschoolers at risk for socio-emotional difficulties and under what circumstances do they work? and what are the best models of care for integrating mental health interventions within pre-existing early childhood education (ECE) services for at-risk children? Knowledge users and researchers will work together through each stage of the review starting with refining the questions through to decisions regarding program theory building, data extraction, analysis, and design of a policy dissemination plan. The initial questions will guide preliminary literature reviews, but subsequent more focused searches will be informed by knowledge users familiar with local needs and further building of explanatory program theories.
Policy makers want to know what works best for whom, but are faced with a wide and disparate intervention literature for at-risk children. Applying evidence-based standards is a good start, but the chain of implementation between research results and how to match interventions sensitive to local context are ongoing challenges.
Mental health interventions
At-risk children
Realist review
Current early childhood education (ECE) systems of care (providers and decision-makers) are not geared to respond to the complex needs of preschoolers and parents at high risk for serious mental health problems in a timely, coordinated, multidisciplinary, and comprehensive fashion. As the number of children in early day care has grown, both in overall numbers and in amount of time each child spends in early care, so too has the number of children presenting in these settings with challenging socio-emotional difficulties [1]. Child care providers report that as many as 30% of their charges warrant special attention because of emotional regulation or behavioral difficulties [2]. As a result, preschool children with these difficulties experience an expulsion rate from day care three times greater than the rate for school-aged children [3, 4]. The gap is even greater for children outside of the day care system whose difficulties are not identified until kindergarten, when the behaviors are already entrenched.
Who are these preschoolers and families at high risk? Can they be reliably identified so that they can receive appropriate support and intervention? In the ELDEQ study (Étude Longitudinale du Développement des Enfants du Québec), Japel and colleagues found that risk factors impacting child development included maternal depression, age and educational level of mothers, parental substance abuse, family violence, child health, temperament, poverty, and neighborhood safety [5, 6]. These risk factors were identifiable as early as 5 months of age in infants and were predictive of hyperactivity, inattention, aggression, anxiety, and oppositional behavior in kindergarten. Poor mental health outcomes were dependent on the cumulative effect, i.e., the number of risk factors an infant experienced and the amount of time (years) a preschooler was exposed to the risk factors.
Advances in assessment and treatment of socio-emotional functioning in infants and preschoolers as well as longitudinal studies in child development over the last 20 to 30 years have demonstrated that psychopathology (the combination of environmental and genetic risk factors) can be reliably identified in preschoolers and that many of these problems may be enduring if not treated early [7, 8]. Infants and preschoolers can suffer mental health disorders such as anxiety and aggression or can manifest attachment difficulties and post-traumatic stress disorder if raised by a parent with their own risk factors (mental illness, substance abuse, trauma) or in the context of family or intimate partner violence. Some children, struggling against many risk factors, will be thrown off of their normal developmental trajectory whereas other children, at genetic risk for psychiatric disorders, may show early manifestations of sub-syndromes or the full manifestation, with developmental variations, of psychopathology. Unfortunately, some children and their families are subjected to multiple environmental and genetic risk factors that interact/correlate (i.e., parental depression and adverse parenting) resulting in more negative outcomes.
Therefore, preschooler psychopathology must be conceptualized as the manifestation of psychiatric symptoms and/or impaired development within the context of sensitive parenting or secure/insecure attachments. Early identification and treatment become imperative to mitigate risk factors and increase protective factors, which in turn affect early brain development, caregiver/family interactions, and, ultimately, the developmental adaptations of growing children.
In order to match intervention to need while optimizing development, various public health models have been proposed, such as the universal/selective/indicated preventive approach [9]. Preventive universal interventions are intended to support healthy development for all children, whereas selective approaches target children with high lifetime or imminent risk (e.g., Head Start programs for poor families, home visitation). Indicated interventions target children already displaying minimal but detectable symptoms which may become major identifiable disorders. A fourth emerging level of intervention is for treating specific identifiable disorders in preschoolers and their families. Many new treatments are emerging and undergoing a first wave of evidential scrutiny at all levels of intervention. Some of these therapies are established treatments in older age groups that have been modified to account for developmental differences (e.g., cognitive behavior therapy for younger children) whereas other interventions have been specifically designed to address risk factors specific to the early years (attachment-based therapies to target changing parent-infant interactions or parental sensitivity). While this schema has some intuitive appeal, the field in general is still struggling to match what interventions will mitigate which risk factors in order to produce the best developmental outcomes.
Therefore, the case for intervening early and effectively is compelling; some studies have demonstrated that high-risk children and families benefit the most from high-quality intervention, delivered through either home or center-based care [10, 11]. However, the evidence base is quite inconsistent and at times contradictory for comprehensive approaches because complex psychosocial interventions are quite context dependent [12, 13]. Two separate reviews on US home visitation concluded that there were modest benefits at best from home visitation programs [14, 15]. Cochrane reviews of home visitation involving disadvantaged mothers [16, 17] and disadvantaged teenage mothers [18] found no difference in outcomes on parental or child risk factors. However, home-based interventions delivered by trained professionals with high adherence to model fidelity (such as the Nurse-Family Partnership) show better and more consistent results compared to less rigorous programs [19]. A Cochrane review for center-based care found favorable outcomes in child IQ, behavior difficulties, and school achievement [20], but the review was criticized for insufficient control of confounding home visitation interventions [21].
What factors account for these inconsistent results? Home or center-based programs are quite varied and must be flexible to meet the needs of their target populations (i.e., the context in which service delivery takes place). Therefore, some programs are effective under some conditions (poverty, immigration), for some groups of children (developmental age), and for some risk factors (parental risks—depression, substance abuse; child risks—aggression, trauma; family risks—intimate partner violence). Even the most rigorously tested programs with high fidelity (Nurse-Family Partnership) must be part of a comprehensive approach. For example, a home visitor may need to refer the child and family to a parenting program and needs to know which one is evidence based but also suits the client's needs (Incredible Years? Triple P? Parents as Teachers?). Any intervention program should be seen as an entry point into a system of care, rather than as a single model of care. Furthermore, overarching principles guiding evidence-informed policymaking common to all early interventions are only now starting to emerge. For example, Astuto and Allen found that parental engagement was crucial for the success of any comprehensive intervention, whether it is home or center based [12]. At the higher policy level, different programs involved in early child development clash over ideological and historical differences on whether to focus on socio-emotional development or cognitive and literacy skills. National systems of care have differing priorities about the importance of the early years, affecting overall resource allocation for child welfare.
Programming decisions based strictly upon the current available evidence may be misleading or fail to recognize the multiple needs of at-risk children, parents, and communities. Since risk factors for children with mental health challenges are nonspecific and quite context dependent, this knowledge gap needs to be synthesized for policy makers involved in program design of developmentally sensitive services. Currently, no reviews, policy documents, frameworks, or models exist to help decision-makers design new or review existing programs (resources, training, staffing, and coordinated services) around mental health interventions within child welfare, early education, or public health systems of care.
Traditional systematic review methods which focus on measuring and reporting on effectiveness of interventions are not easily applied to interventions that take place in 'real world' health and social systems that are more complex and uncontrolled than research-based settings. Implementation science brings an evaluation framework to specific patient populations with complex needs [22]. A further refinement of implementation science specifically designed to take into account how interventions may be modified by context is the realist review [13]. This type of review requires a broader examination of all relevant information than would typically occur in a meta-analysis. It is an iterative process integrating and synthesizing knowledge from the scientific literature with input from knowledge users (KUs) familiar with local needs and barriers. KUs are actively involved with the research team to build mid-level program theories.
The realist review approach is especially suitable for complex policy questions as it attempts to illuminate the mechanisms of how interventions work under different contexts. It makes explicit the context (C), mechanisms (M) of change, and outcomes (O) (CMO configurations) in order to identify what interventions work best, for whom, and under what circumstances. This is a particularly appropriate methodology for synthesizing complex, difficult to interpret evidence from multiple settings, i.e., merging home, community, and clinic-based interventions, and where more than one change mechanism or multiple change mechanisms acting simultaneously may be operating.
This realist synthesis comes at a time when there is a critical need for integrated knowledge in the field of ECE concerning preschoolers at high risk for socio-emotional difficulties, an at-risk population and policy area heretofore neglected. Working with knowledge users responsible for ECE policy at the provincial level, this proposal provides a novel approach with a clear, practical methodology for synthesizing knowledge relevant for policy recommendations.
Our synthesis is a collaborative initiative between researchers and knowledge users across different policy, disciplinary, and organizational boundaries. The interpretative approach inherent in this review of complex early childhood interventions will benefit from the empirical perspective of researchers coupled with decision-makers and practitioners who work in the system and therefore are knowledgeable about the context. Knowledge users and researchers will work together through each stage of the review process starting with refining the research questions through to decisions regarding data extraction, data analysis, and design of a dissemination plan. The initial research questions will serve to guide preliminary literature reviews but can be modified by knowledge users in the course of the review if deemed relevant: (1) What early childhood interventions improve mental health outcomes for preschoolers at risk for socio-emotional difficulties and under what circumstances do they work? and (2) What are the best models of care for integrating mental health interventions within pre-existing ECE services for children at high risk for socio-emotional difficulties?
The primary focus of a realist synthesis is to make explicit the underlying theories about the causal mechanism of the complex intervention of interest [23]. This is accomplished by examining patterns of interaction between the context, mechanism, and outcome in a sample of primary studies. Our goal is develop a realist program theory to explain how early childhood interventions work in different contexts to achieve improved mental health outcomes for preschool children. We will employ the five steps outlined in the realist template to guide our review: (1) clarify scope, (2) search for evidence, (3) appraise primary studies, (4) extract data, (5) synthesize the evidence, and (6) disseminate, implement, and evaluate [13]. Although the steps are described in a linear fashion, progression through the steps is an iterative process and it may be necessary to revisit earlier steps as the evidence begins to emerge. More specifically, in concert with knowledge users, we will:
Clarify the scope of the review by searching for candidate (middle range) theories which explain how and why early childhood interventions work under different contexts. More than one middle range theory may explain the influence of context on a mechanism to produce an outcome. Therefore, an initial scoping search will be conducted to map the range of possible relevant theories for consideration and refine the research questions. We will extract the following data from all studies included in the scoping search: study characteristics (year, population, sample size, setting, and type of intervention or program), any explicit reference to a theory underlying the intervention, and any theoretical description linking context (C), mechanism (M) of action, and outcome (O). Data will be summarized in a table, and researchers and knowledge users will work together to review the results of the mapping exercise and begin to develop a program theory. Our beginning program theory will outline the contexts in which, populations for which, and main mechanisms by which important mental health outcomes for preschool children are expected to be achieved. Researcher and knowledge user consensus around the explanatory basis of these complex programs is vital to the success of the review process, and we anticipate that this work will initially consume a large portion of our project time. We will examine the evidence from the different intervention studies and negotiate with our knowledge users to adjudicate between the rival theories and identify which theory, or set of theories, might be important for inclusion in our program theory [24]. A realist review can generate a large number of paths to explore; therefore, we will use the following questions to guide refinement of our research objectives: Do the interventions work as predicted? Which theory/theories fit best? How do the different interventions work in different settings, for different groups? What are the policy implications for the different interventions? We will keep a project journal, separate from meeting notes, to document points of contention, key decision points, and insights arising from review of the evidence and researcher-knowledge user negotiations.
Our purposive search for the evidence, focused on finding data that can be used to test our program theory, will require a combination of formal protocol-driven strategies and more informal approaches such as browsing and snowball methods (checking references of references and citation tracking). The search strategy will be guided by an information scientist and will evolve as the evidence emerges through each step of the review process. Databases to be searched include, but are not limited to, ClinicalTrials.gov; Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL); The Cochrane Library, including the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL); Educational Resources Information Centre (ERIC); EMBASE; Latin American and Caribbean Literature on the Health Sciences (LILACS); MEDLINE; ProQuest Nursing and Allied Health; PsycINFO; Web of Science; and WorldCat.
Other sources: Due to the nature of our research questions, we anticipate that gray literature searches will yield important sources of information. Gray literature sources from Canada, Europe, and the USA will be searched, including but not limited to Canadian Health Research Collection, Canadian Public Policy Collection, Grey Literature Report, and OpenSIGLE.
We will search the websites of organizations relevant to mental health and child health and the websites of federal and provincial government departments, including but not limited to Canadian Institutes of Health Research, Centre of Excellence for Early Childhood Development, CMA Infobase, Institute for Research on Public Policy, International Network for Early Child Development, International Organization for Early Intervention, National Guidelines Clearinghouse, Offord Centre for Children at Risk, World Health Organization, and World Infant Mental Health Organization. Where applicable, table of contents of specific infant mental health journals will be hand searched, e.g., Infant Mental Health Journal, Child Development, Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, Journal of American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Child Abuse and Neglect, and Developmental Psychopathology. Key policy experts will be identified and approached as well for literature, policy, or program information.
Based on the goals of the study and the two research questions, the following inclusion/exclusion criteria will be used initially to inform the search process. After developing the CMO configurations, it is possible (consistent with a realist approach) that knowledge users and the research team may modify these criteria:
Studies (qualitative or quantitative) focused on any type of complex intervention involving at-risk preschoolers.
Should address risk factors or adversity in child or parent and include at least one mental health outcome.
Should include reliable assessment of baseline mental health diagnosis or risk factors.
Studies focused on preschoolers at risk for socio-emotional difficulties (anxiety, depression, aggression).
Age range, 0 to 5.
Relevant reviews and meta-analyses.
Parenting group interventions including parents or children at high risk will be included (i.e., generic parenting groups such as groups for psychoeducation will be excluded).
Studies examining autism, developmental, and communication disorders, as they are more related to child developmental-neurological factors.
Studies involving adults over the age of 19 that do not report data for the age group 0–5 years separately.
Studies focused on organic causes of intellectual or emotional impairment, i.e., fetal alcohol syndrome, or extreme prematurity.
Studies focusing primarily on assessment with no intervention component, no comparison group, and no outcome measures.
Screening of studies will take place in two stages. First, two team members will independently screen all titles and abstracts for inclusion. Disagreements will be resolved by discussion or, if necessary, the senior investigator will adjudicate. In a second round of screening, the same two team members will independently examine the full text of included citations for suitability.
Next, we will appraise included primary studies using forms and tools agreed to collaboratively by the knowledge user-research team. Selection and appraisal of documents in a realist review is carried out from a heuristic perspective to enrich the proposed CMO model. Given the diverse nature of likely sources of data, we will apply a 'fitness of purpose' approach to appraise primary sources [25]. Two team members working independently will assess each study for relevance (Does the study add anything to our program theory?) and rigor (Are the conclusions drawn by the researcher adequately supported to make a credible contribution to test our program theory?). A summary table outlining study authors, publication date, objectives, and type of study, conclusions, and appraisal data will be developed.
Data extraction will be guided by the program theory outlined in step 1 and will evolve in an iterative manner to accommodate possible re-examination of studies as new codes emerge. One team member will conduct the first round of data extraction to examine the nature of the interventions reported in the primary sources. The basic components of a realist causal explanation include articulation of the context, mechanism of action, and outcomes of intervention of interest [26]. A matrix will be developed using Excel spreadsheets to organize extracted data into the basic context-mechanism-outcome configuration (step 1). In addition, we will extract any data related to relevant concepts or theories. As data are sorted, we will look for patterns (demi-regularities) to confirm or modify our program theory.
We will track how different studies are used or omitted from this first round. A second round of data extraction will follow our second search and will be used to continue to build and refine our program theory.
Data analysis and synthesis will be a joint effort of the researcher and knowledge user team and will be guided by the research questions. The primary goal of this task is refining our program theory improving our understanding of how interventions work in different contexts to achieve important mental health outcomes for preschool children. Each primary study will be examined according to how it supports, weakens, modifies, supplements, or refocuses our CMO configuration [26]. This critical approach will assist with specifying the CMO elements and developing our program theory.
The final step in the review process will involve reporting our findings, development of recommendations and a plan for dissemination. Our findings will be reported using the items listed in the RAMESES reporting standards for realist synthesis [27]. The knowledge users and researchers will work together to identify important stakeholder groups and develop recommendations taking into account the context and implementation chains of the different stakeholder groups. A brainstorming exercise will be completed using an online forum to identify potential barriers for the uptake of the recommendations. A dissemination plan will be designed to address these barriers and include successful strategies that have worked with the stakeholder groups in the past.
Integral to the success of our project's work is the use of a knowledge broker familiar with local resources who will be an integral part of the dissemination process, merging policy, and academic perspectives. The knowledge broker will assist with crafting recommendations that are sensitive to local policy context using the appropriate lexicon.
Many prospective and retrospective longitudinal studies of the risk factors that can affect developmental trajectories during a period of rapid brain growth have demonstrated that this sensitive period can be a tipping point leading to life-long health or disorder [28]. Within these trajectories, certain subgroups of children are more at risk due to exposure to multiple, cumulative, and prolonged environmental or genetic risk factors, such as poor attachment, maternal depression, and poverty. Infant mental health researchers have identified another subgroup of children with the onset of psychopathology (with or without environmental triggers), highlighting an early predisposition to partial or full psychiatric disorders such as disruptive behavior or anxiety disorders. These longitudinal studies highlight that it is no longer acceptable to adopt a 'wait and see' attitude coupled with the prevailing attitude that 'it is just behavior' and ignore the evidence that preschoolers can experience intense psychological distress with potential long-term sequelae. From the treatment perspective, 'not doing anything' is also a missed opportunity for preventive interventions within this window of rapid development.
Policymakers want to know what works best and for whom, but are faced with a wide and disparate literature on intervention in the early years. Applying evidence-based standards to interventions is a good start, but the chain of implementation between research results and how to match interventions to local context are ongoing challenges. One way to address these multiple research-to-policy gaps is by using systematic review methodologies sensitive to local context and knowledge user needs, such as the realist review. Our first research question is formulated to address this specific need around evidence-based interventions for preschoolers at high risk for socio-emotional challenges. In addition, systemic factors such as lack of coordination between departments mandated with child development, continuity of care across developmental phases, simultaneous parallel services for children and parents (two generation models), and uneven specialized personnel training have hampered a consistent approach to intensive and continuous interventions for this population, the focus of our second research question. Working with local knowledge users, the research team will synthesize evidence and contextual factors to shape policy recommendations around embedding mental health services for at-risk preschoolers.

The 2013 Technology Expo Thursday at the Hardin Center will give local businesses a chance to meet one-on-one with vendors about technology and see how new innovations can improve their businesses.
Hours for members of the Chamber of Gadsden & Etowah County will be 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., according to Chamber President Heather Brothers New. It will be a "premier screening" with food and beverages available. The general public and members will be admitted from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Admission is a business card to ensure those attending are with a business, New said. Twenty exhibitors are expected to have booths, New said, and some of the vendors will have giveaways at their booths.
Ricoh USA Inc., the lead sponsor, will be giving away a flat-screen television as a door prize.
New said with technology changing at such a rapid pace, the Chamber wanted to connect members who offer services with those who need them.
She said having a "hands-on" opportunity to see technology is more effective than reading about it or seeing a photograph of it.
Vendors will range from merchant services, to advertising services, to office machines, New said.
Parking will be available in the rear of the center, but attendees can enter from the front or back.
Other sponsors include The Gadsden Times, the University of Alabama Gadsden Center, Southern Data Automation, Dowdy's Office Equipment LLC, TeleSystems, Exchange Bank, CBS 42, the Alabama Publishing Group and Observer Office Supply.

Family Held at Gunpoint in Scripps Ranch Home Invasion: SDPD
The home invasion robbery happened in the 11000 block of Fortino Point just before 3 a.m.
By Monica Garske and Elena Gomez	• Published January 29, 2016 • Updated on January 29, 2016 at 12:20 pm
A San Diego family experienced a terrifying ordeal when three intruders broke into their house early Friday morning and held the family at gunpoint during a home invasion robbery.
Officer Frank Cali with the San Diego Police Department (SDPD) said the break-in happened just before 3 a.m. at the family's home in the 11000 block of Fortino Point, near Stonebridge Parkway, in Rancho Encantada near Scripps Ranch.
Police said three unknown men entered the home, tied up the family and held the victims at gunpoint as they ransacked the residence. The suspects stole jewelry, cash and credit cards from the home.
The men fled the scene in an unknown direction and were nowhere to be found by the time police officers arrived. Cali said none of the victims were injured.

Police said the suspects were only described as wearing dark bandanas and dark clothing. No further details were immediately released.
NBC 7 spoke briefly with one of the victims Friday who said she was home with her husband at the time of the break-in. She was visibly shaken by the incident.
Neighbors told NBC 7 there have been between three and five break-ins in the community within the past year, many on the canyon side of the neighborhood. One resident said he now has a dog and alarms in place to protect his home.
Residents are on edge, fearing armed intruders may strike again.

Through the years, Ronald Reagan has become a myth conservatives can worship and liberals can despise. Both sides blame Reagan for the country's current state of affairs, and they either praise every decision he made or criticize every little thing about him. But Eugene Jarecki's latest documentary, Reagan, constructs a much more complete picture of the actor-turned-president. As a result of this middle-ground approach, Reagan is Jarecki's most mature work to date. While retaining his habit of mixing popular music and television shows with more serious anecdotes and interviews, Jarecki successfully characterizes Reagan in a way even hardcore democrats won't be able to resist.
Much of the even-handedness of the film can be attributed to Reagan's son, Ron Reagan. You might remember him from the 2004 Democratic convention when he spoke about stem cell research. His avoidance of partisan speaking in that speech and now in this film seems characteristic. In Reagan he comes across as a knowingly biased, yet completely fair interview subject. He praises his father's good qualities – Reagan's desire to be a hero, his love of this country – and criticizes his bad qualities – the Iran-contra affair being most prominent. The president's other son, Michael, is far more political in his approach to his father, but Ron seems trustworthy. He gives the film, relying on Ron's testimony, a trustworthy backbone.
PBS puts out a series that I love called "The Presidents." They have released a four-hour documentary on Ronald Reagan that gives you a detailed crash-course in Reagan's life and politics. Reagan starts similarly, going over Reagan's early career as a lifeguard, actor, union president, and GE spokesman. What makes this film different than a PBS production, though, is the inclusion of biased interviews. Many of Jarecki's subjects believe the myth surrounding Reagan and either love or despise him. Many come across as self-serving as they try to justify their own participation in the administration. Reagan works because the end result gives us a more complicated, confused understanding of the president than we had before. The film forces us to reconsider our own thoughts on the Reagan myth and perhaps adjust them accordingly. Yes, through cutting taxes Reagan created a disgusting amount of poverty. He ignored AIDS and he ignored congress. Because of these deplorable actions, people want to feel indignant and angry watching Reagan. They want to make that superior, annoying audience "tsk hisss sigh." But Jarecki's film refuses to give them that satisfaction. As a result, he has created an interesting, moving, inspiring film on which members of the left and right might finally be able to agree.

Hell – No amount of regret can appease it. For every moment that passes, a moment is added to the extent of one's stay. Deep frustration, hopeless turmoil and constant confusion are forever in the soul. Hope is destroyed. After all, there is no mercy past this point. The instant your eyes catch a glimpse, your pride and stubbornness are broken. But it's too late. The moment you sense the evil, you desire the opportunity to repent. But God is not mocked. The reality is confirmed. Everything you knew in your heart to be true is now visibly apparent. You escaped the thought on earth, hoping the thought would never manifest its own reality.
Every moment of sinful pleasure, every comment of mockery, every laugh at God – they turn to be regrettable, sorrowful even. To know that safety was within reach is a tormenting thought. Why such foolishness? Why such carelessness? It could have all been prevented – that is a most tormenting thought. No time exists – Hell is the constant state of highest anguish. It is darkness that never again will see light, pain that will never know comfort and loneliness that will never again find companionship. It is the justice of God. Can you grasp the vastness of the universe? That is temporary. Hell is a universe void of all things good. Pride is the door to Hell, and stubbornness is the step that takes you through.
What sort of pride would walk into Hell fire? What pleasure is worth the soul? Mock, laugh, scoff and push it from your mind – it remains a reality. Life is a thin, fragile glass upon which we walk. Once it is broken, it cannot be repaired. Only fools go to Hell when salvation is so near. Frustration that causes physical tension, fear that causes your heart to race, anger that brings depression and pain that causes a scream – these are the reactions of a Hellish existence. They are the eternal marks of a tormented, rejected soul.

Q: Leave message discord.js v12 I have a porblem. My leave message. There I have:
client.on("guildMemberAdd", member => {
  const welcomeChannel = member.guild.channels.cache.find(
    channel => channel.name === "welcome"
  );
  welcomeChannel.send(`Hosgeldin :heart: ${member}`);
});

client.on("guildMemberRemove", member => {
  const welcomeChannel = member.guild.channels.cache.find(
    channel => channel.name === "gelen-giden"
  );
  welcomeChannel.send(`Bye ${member}!`);
});

and then when somebody left then came <@id>.
I want to find his id because then I can make an link of the person who left.
It look like https://discordapp.com/users/732569703142129685 .
And then it should write 'Member' and this 'member' should be the link.
Please in v12.

A: When a user leaves, he is no longer on the guild, so you can't find a channel on a server he isn't anymore in. You'll need to use client.channels.cache.find() in this case.
have a good day.

A: Discord returns <@id> because the member that left doesn't have more guilds(servers) in common with you and he is no more in your cache. If you need his id for some deletion of rows in db you can get it as member.id

Two new talks that were part of the Africa Express events are now available to watch on the 14-18 NOW website.
A Remarkable Journey
How do you reunite an orchestra separated by war? Can music bridge such a great divide?
Players from the Orchestra of Syrian Musicians, rapper Eslam Jawaad and concert organiser, award-winning journalist and co-founder of Africa Express, Ian Birrell, with Jenny Waldman Director of 14-18 NOW told the story of how they came to perform together against all odds in a talk hosted by the Southbank Centre prior to their performance on 25th June. The orchestra brought together people from both sides of the conflict to perform for the first time since the country's civil war began.
Drawing a line: from the great war to civil war
The Southbank Centre also hosted a second talk, which debated Syria, its contested borders and the migrant crisis. Historian James Barr explored the WW1 pact's links to the current conflict, which to date has displaced nearly ten million people, one hundred years after the Sykes-Picot Agreement saw French and British diplomats carve up the Middle East.
The speakers were writer Wassim Al-Adel, who mentors displaced Syrian refugee children and youth living on the Syrian border, Regina Catrambone, the co-founder of MOAS (Migrant Offshore Aid Station), the search and rescue charity that has to date saved over 12,000 lives at sea and Ahmad al-Rashid, a Syrian campaigner born in Aleppo and recently granted asylum in the UK. The talk is chaired by Diana Darke, author of My House in Damascus: An Inside View of the Syrian Crisis and Middle East expert.

Queen's Club Championships (также известен по наименованию компании-спонсора как Fever-Tree Championships) — мужской профессиональный теннисный турнир, проводимый в начале лета в Лондоне (Великобритания) на травяных кортах местного королевского клуба. С 2015 года турнир относится к серии ATP 500 с призовым фондом около 2,3 миллионов евро и турнирной сеткой, рассчитанной на 32 участников в одиночном разряде и 16 пар.

История
Турнир в Queen's Club впервые проведён в 1890 году и является одним из старейших в мире теннисных турниров, которые разыгрываются по сей день. Широко распространено мнение, что травяные газоны, на которых он проходит, являются лучшими в теннисном мире, превосходя даже газоны Всеанглийского клуба лаун-тенниса, на которых проводится Уимблдонский турнир. С 1969 года Queen's Club Championshipsявляется открытым как для любителей, так и для профессионалов. Спонсорское название турнира с 1979 до 2008 года — Stella Artois Championships, с 2009 до 2017 года — AEGON Championships, с 2018 года — Fever-Tree Championships.

25 из 27 последних чемпионов Уимблдонского турнира, начиная с 1979 года, участвовали в Queen's Club Championships.

До 1973 года турнир проводился также и среди женщин, и в последний год проведения его выиграла представительница СССР Ольга Морозова.

В 2012 году Давид Налбандян стал первым в истории турнира спортсменом, дисквалифицированным по ходу финального матча одного из соревнований за неспортивное поведение.

С 2015 года турнир получил повышение и стал относится к категории турниров ATP 500.

Vikram Mansharamani
Lecturer, Harvard John Paulson School of Engineering & Applied Science Author, "Boombustology: Spotting Financial Bubbles Before They Burst"
How will global, political, market, technological, societal, and economic forces impact your industry and business? Vikram Mansharamani shows business leaders and investors how to look at the world differently in order to manage risk and navigate radical uncertainty. Vikram first gained widespread attention with his book Boombustology: Spotting Financial Bubbles Before They Burst. He is a contributor to Worth magazine and PBS NewsHour in addition to being LinkedIn's #1 Voice on Economy and Finance in 2015 and 2016. Vikram believes that the future doesn't have to surprise us — and won't — if we regularly step away from our own expertise, look at the world through multiple lenses, then connect the dots.
Download full bio
Navigating Uncertainty: An Unconventional Approach
In this stimulating and entertaining talk, Dr. Vikram Mansharamani applies a unique combination of practitioner experience and academic perspective to help audiences navigate the seemingly unending crosscurrents of global economic, financial and geopolitical uncertainty. He explains how we got to the current world of protectionism, nationalism, populism, and currency conflicts and explores how the combination of political, social, technological, demographic, and economic pressures will impact future trends. After presenting several scenarios, he considers the risks and opportunities emerging from a recession or an escalation of global tensions. While audiences often find themselves agreeing with Dr. Mansharamani each step of the way, they're frequently surprised by what turn out to be unconventional conclusions.
In a fast-paced world driven by complex and changing factors, connecting the dots is often more important than developing them. As a result of the overwhelming flood of information that pours at us daily, we run headlong into the arms of experts and technologies. We've stopped thinking for ourselves and now habitually – perhaps unconsciously – outsource our thinking about important decisions. Rather than turn to specialists, Dr. Mansharamani guides us to think bigger and look across the silos of expertise, leaving listeners empowered and energized to think for themselves. This memorable talk is filled with stories from a variety of industries and settings about how we got to where we are and how we can reclaim control.
Boom or Bust: Spotting Bubbles Before They Burst
Our dynamic global economy seems to be producing boom and bust cycles more frequently than in the past. There's always something that seems ahead of itself, having reached unsustainable levels. In direct contrast to the prevailing academic thinking, Dr. Vikram Mansharamani believes it's possible to identify financial (and other) bubbles before they burst. Drawing on entertaining examples from art markets, architecture, and popular culture (as well as economics and politics), he powerfully demonstrates that you need not be an expert to anticipate the future. Audiences leave this talk feeling empowered to think independently and connect the obvious dots to generate not-so-obvious conclusions.
Coming in June 2020
Boombustology: Spotting Financial Bubbles Before They Burst
"Vikram gives a dynamic presentation that pulls disparate trends together to make compelling and thought-provoking arguments about future outcomes and investment opportunities."
– President and Chief Operating Officer, Cambridge Associates
"Easily one of the best I've seen, Vikram's presentation was a clear standout among the dozens of conferences I've attended over my twenty years in the investment industry. I found his conversational style remarkably engaging and his perspectives the most innovative and fresh-thinking I've seen to date. His message was thought-provoking, informative, and I'd even say inspired; a rare combination indeed."
– Christopher Cannon, CFA | Chief Investment Officer, FirsTrust, LLC
"Vikram has been a speaker at several of our client events in the past. His dynamic and entertaining talk on the boom & bust cycles is not only very engaging but it really pushes the audience to think outside the box. He leaves us inspired about 'connecting the dots.'"
