Bart Walker III (born July 15, 1944 in Knoxville, TN) is an American radio personality and broadcast owner from Tennessee. He is the CEO of WGNS Radio in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Murfreesboro is listed as the tenth fastest growing city in the United States.

Career
In 1957, Walker built a low-power AM radio station when he was in the seventh grade. Belle Meade Theater Manager E. J. Jordan invited the youngster to interview greats like Fess Parker, Pat Boone, Diane Baker, Guy Lombardo and others who would come to the theater and sign the "Wall of Fame" in Nashville, TN.

That same year, popular top 40 Nashville WKDA DJ Ronn Terrell (Terrell Metheny, now retired in Arkansas) encouraged Walker by allowing him to pull news from the teletype on Friday nights, write news stories, and occasionally cover a story that was in the downtown area.

During the summer of 1958 (just before Walker's freshman high school year), William O. (Bill) Barry gave him his first break with a Saturday night job on WFMB (105.9 MHz in Nashville).

At that time FM was so new that the Nashville Public Library would check-out Granco table radios, just like books. That allowed listeners to hear the public library's classical music broadcasts that were on Nashville's WFMB. It was the only FM station on-the-air in Nashville at that time. Many years later, the Public Library of Nashville received a license for its own FM radio station (WPLN). Now WPLN is 100,000 watts and a non-profit known as "Nashville Public Radio" that is no longer a part of the library.

'WLAC-FM from L&C Observation Deck'

Life and Casualty Insurance Company purchased WFMB from Barry in 1962, and 105.9 MHz became WLAC-FM and increased power to 100,000 watts. Program Director Mark Prichard hired Walker to do mornings (6AM-noon) on the powerful station. The studios were in the glass-enclosed observation deck of the L&C Tower, 31 stories above Nashville.

Walker commented, "What a dream job, working sometimes in the clouds and watching the sun rise daily over the Cumberland River."

Prior to each morning's radio show on the FM, Walker would stop by WLAC-AM and get the news and weather from the teletype. Nashville broadcast legends Herman Grizzard and Roland Wolfe were wrapping-up their broadcasts on WLAC-AM, and talked with Walker over coffee each morning. This was on-the-job training at its finest. Later, longtime personality Ernie Keller joined WLAC-FM and he too shared his knowledge.

In the fall of 1965, Walker realized the importance of a college education. He left WLAC-FM to study journalism and English at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. While a student at MTSU, he worked part-time for 3-months at Murfreesboro's WMTS (FM) and WGNS (AM). He was program director at WBJF (AM) in Woodbury, until graduating from MTSU in 1968 (now WBRY). Ironically, he would return to Murfreesboro in 1984 to purchase WGNS (AM).

After receiving his BS degree (1968), Walker returned to Nashville where for the next three-years, he was in public relations with the Tennessee Department of Education as well as a Nashville advertising agency.

By 1971, Walker was more than ready to return to radio. His first boss, and mentor, Bill Barry hired him to operate a new big band format station that he had built. WAMB came on the air April 12, 1971 at 1190 kHz with 250 watts daytime only. Barry was able to move to 1170 kHz and jump it to 5,000 watts daytime, then 10,000 daytime and eventually to 1160 kHz with a maximum AM power of 50,000 watts daytime and 1,000 watts at night.

He continued to learn from broadcast legends, because WAMB's "blow torch" signal attracted Snooky Lanson, Bob Sticht, Buzz Benson, Ken Bramming, Bill Britain, Jack Gallo and other major market talent. Over the next fourteen years, Walker's on-the-job training was priceless.

'WGNS (Ownership)'

In 1984, Walker moved into ownership. He and local Weight Watcher's franchisee Ray Kalil purchased WGNS in Murfreesboro. Walker was able to later purchase Kalil's share in WGNS. Ironically, his ownership of WGNS has lasted longer than the combined years of all previous three owners. (Cecil Elrod 1947-1960; Regional Broadcasting was William Vogel and Monte Hale 1960-1979; and Davidson Broadcasting 1979-1984; Walker's Rutherford Group purchased WGNS in 1984).

Walker built WGNS on the theory established by its first owner, Cecil Elrod. The callsign (GNS) stood for Good Neighbor Station, and the news content, programming, and the way advertisers and listeners were treated, was as if it was done by a "Good Neighbor".

WGNS continues to focus on local news, high school and college sports, local government meetings, plus leaders like the mayor, police chief, judges—all have their own talk radio shows on WGNS. In fact, the man who served as Rutherford County's Sheriff for over 3-decades, Truman Jones, has had a popular talk show every weekday morning on WGNS since early 2011 (9-10am). His topics cover local history and conversations with residents who have made a difference in Rutherford County, Tennessee. "The Truman Show" has become a daily mirror that allows listeners to look into this communities' past.

During natural disasters (tornadoes, floods, ice storms, etc.) along with other emergencies, WGNS stops regular programming and devotes 100 per cent of its on-air time to informing the public. This has earned the station the Tennessee Emergency Management Agency's "Station of the Year Award" several times, along with acclaims from the National Association of Broadcasters and recognition by the Tennessee Association of Broadcasters.

'COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT'

Walker strongly believes that a station, its management and personnel must be heavily involved in the local community. This is evidenced in Walker having been Chairman of the Board for Rutherford County CrimeStoppers, the Heart of Tennessee Red Cross Chapter, Tennessee Association of Broadcasters, President of the Murfreesboro Rotary Club, and Elder with Murfreesboro's First Presbyterian Church (PC-USA). He has also served on the boards of the Rutherford County Chamber of Commerce, St. Clair Street Senior Center, Leadership Rutherford, and Committee On Ministry with the Presbytery of Middle Tennessee (PC-USA).

'HONORS AND AWARDS'

Walker has been honored with the highest award given by the Tennessee Association of Broadcasters, its Distinguished Service Award (2002), and Leadership Rutherford's Pinnacle Award (2011). The family business also received the 2004 Better Business Bureau's "TORCH AWARD" honoring the highest standards of ethics and conduct.

On May 14, 2016, Walker was inducted into the TENNESSEE RADIO HALL OF FAME The Murfreesboro, Tennessee Chapter of the NAACP honored Bart Walker on January 14, 2017, by presenting him the JERRY ANDERSON HUMANITARIAN AWARD at the Annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Breakfast that was held at Middle Tennessee State University.

In 2019 The Tennessee Radio Hall of Fame honored WGNS with the coveted "LUTHER AWARD". The Luther Award honors one outstanding Tennessee radio station for its above and beyond service provided for the community it served. This award was named for Chattanooga radio legend Luther Masingill, who spent more than 70-years at one station and woke listeners up daily with plenty of local news, weather reports, community events, as well as helping the community find missing pets. Like Luther Masingill, those who receive this award not only have a heart for serving, but a desire to devote their lives to serving the radio station's city of license.

He noted that his wife, Lee Ann, has encouraged him from when they were married in 1967, including helping with advertising sales and promotions at WGNS. Their daughter Kristin helped with on-air duties for many years, and son Scott has learned all facets of broadcasting and is now President and General Manager of WGNS. Bart points with pride to have a true "Mom and Pop radio station" during a time of "corporate giants".

'WGNS Gets Nation's First FM Translator'

Walker's love for radio and habit of persistence, not only helped WGNS (first US radio station to get this new service), but other AM broadcasters across the United States. He commented, "It made sense for AM licensees to be allowed to put their programming on FM translators."

In 2004 he applied for an FM translator and received the license. However, the Federal Communications Commission did not approve his request to place WGNS' programming on that FM translator. Regular trips to Washington, visits with our legislative leaders—all proved unsuccessful."

It wasn't until December 2005 when the U.S. Senate approved President George W. Bush's nominee, Deborah Taylor Tate, of Tennessee to serve an unexpired term as Commissioner with the Federal Communications Commission that was when things began to change. Not only was Mrs. Tate from Tennessee, but she grew up in Murfreesboro.

In January 2006, she was a guest on WGNS' morning talk show and shared how growing-up in Murfreesboro, Tennessee and attending public schools, prepared her for one of the most powerful positions in the nation.

After the broadcast, Walker talked with her about the issues facing AM broadcasters. He told her that noise and interference on AM signals was running listeners away. The static was being generated by fluorescent lights, power line hum, cable TV and other sources of interference. Walker noted that FM broadcasters had long been allowed to use FM translators to fill-in weak signal areas, and he hoped the FCC would allow AM licensees to do the same.

Commissioner Tate saw the logic, and within a few months had the rule-making procedure moving forward. The National Association of Broadcasters supported the idea, and WGNS received Special Temporary Authority (STA) to use an FM translator. On March 1, 2007, WGNS began translating its AM signal on two translators, making it the first AM station in America to utilize this new service.

Commissioner Tate's work has enabled many AM broadcasters to get FM translators and better serve their communities with local news, high school sports, weather, natural disaster information and more. The FM translators have been a life saver for AM broadcasters, who had been suffering from dramatically increased interference on the medium wave band. And all of this began with a cup of coffee at the Good Neighbor Station.

On May 10, 2022, the Heart of Tennessee Chapter of the American Red Cross named Bart Walker the 2022 Hero Honoree

Walker served as the Chairman of the local Red Cross chapter when several hundred evacuees from Hurricane Katrina were flown to the Smyrna Airport in September, 2005.
Nick Paranjape interviewed Walker at the Heroes Breakfast that was held in the ballroom of Middle Tennessee State University's Student Union Building.

While chair, the local chapter moved from its Commercial Court location to a highly visible and heavy traffic location at 501 Memorial Boulevard in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.

A Field View of Reality to Explain Human Interconnectedness
June 13, 2016 Articles of the Heart 65526 Views = 11
"It is remarkable how closely the history of the apple tree is connected with that of man." –Henry David Thoreau
Is it true the physical world we see with our eyes is the essence or nature of reality? For much of human history, this is what scientists and most people around the world have believed. More recently, however, another view of reality has emerged, one the authors of HeartMath's new e-book, the Science of Interconnectivity, † contrast with the historic view.
"Classical physics conceived of reality as elementary building blocks made up of solid objects, separated by empty space," the authors explain. "This view continues to be most people's view of reality, including scientists."
In contrast, they write, "Physical objects cannot be understood, or observed in isolation, but rather must be viewed as part of a holistic web of interconnectedness in which fields and relationships are pivotal."
This new view, which HeartMath Institute's Dr. Rollin McCraty and Annette Deyhle, Ph.D. refer to in their e-book as the "field view of reality," is shared by a growing number of scientists around the world who are engaged in actively researching it.
"The understanding of the world we live in profoundly shifted," McCraty stated for this article, "after the discovery of electromagnetic fields and the experimental validation of modern quantum physics." These have helped to give rise to the field view of reality.
"We can no longer think of reality as little building blocks separated by an empty space," he said. "We now know there is no such thing as empty space and that physical objects, including us, do not exist in isolation, but are part of this holistic web of interconnectedness in which fields and relationships are primary."
HeartMath and the Field View of Reality
The field view ties in closely with research at HeartMath Institute (HMI). The institute has conducted experiments for a number of years to demonstrate the ways in which people are connected with one another through their own individual magnetic fields, which are generated primarily by the brain and, although much more so, the heart.
Examples of these experiments include measurements of an infant's heart rhythm registering in the brain waves of its mother, and the heart-rhythm coherence of a boy corresponding to an increase in his dog's heart-rhythm coherence.
In the latter example, a boy and dog were placed in a room together. Then the boy moved to a separate room, which resulted in the dog experiencing chaotic and incoherent heart rhythms, in contrast to when it and the boy were in the same room. The boy was instructed to use a coherence technique to consciously feel feelings of love and care for his dog, which he did after re-entering the room with the dog, while having no physical contact with it. The dog's heart-rhythm coherence increased significantly.
Through its Global Coherence Initiative, HeartMath also has had success in demonstrating some of the health and behavioral effects of activity in Earth's magnetic fields.
Other scientists have studied solar and geomagnetic activity and correlated it to changes in blood pressure, blood composition and the physical and chemical state of humans. There are many documented cases in which researchers have attributed increased rates of depression, heart attacks and debilitating conditions to solar and Earth magnetic field activity. (You can learn more about the Global Coherence Initiative and its work at GCI Research.)
Field View of Reality and A Theory of Everything
Besides being the title of the popular 2014 film about physicist Stephen Hawking, a "theory of everything" also arguably is the Holy Grail of modern physics. Simply explained, physicists hope such a theory, which is more formally referred to as a grand unified theory, would fully explain and link together all physical aspects of the universe.
Now, such an ambitious endeavor, which many physicists project may actually be successful within decades, naturally is far more complicated than the brief description above. The notion of a link, or connection between everything, however, suffices to convey one of its primary purposes, which happens to be a shared purpose with HeartMath's own research.
Connectedness, or what HMI calls interconnectedness, is an important and primary area of interest today at HeartMath and its Global Coherence Initiative (GCI). This interest has led their scientists in several directions as they explore and seek to validate the central hypotheses they have formulated in their interconnectedness studies.
1. Human and animal health, cognitive functions, emotions and behavior are affected by planetary magnetic and energetic fields.
2. The earth's magnetic fields are carriers of biologically relevant information that connects all living systems.
3. Each individual affects the global information field.
4. Large numbers of people creating heart-centered states of care, love and compassion will generate a more coherent field environment that can benefit others and help offset the current planetwide discord and incoherence.
As today's physicists pursue a unified theory that would explain and link together all physical aspects of our universe, HeartMath will continue expanding on its work in the realm of a field view of reality and the interconnectedness of all living things.
"New perspectives are emerging that suggest nonmaterial fields organize and in-form all organisms, including key aspects of our thoughts, emotions and intuitions," McCraty said. "It is exciting to see new data coming out of our research that shows that we really are deeply connected with each other and with fields of the earth."
† The Science of Interconnectivity e-book is expected to be released around mid-July and will be available for purchase in HeartMath Institute's online bookstore. Contributors to the current Tree Research Project, which is part of HMI's ongoing interconnectedness research, can receive a free copy of the e-book. Learn how.

A 0-definable set $ D $ in a structure $ M $ is said to be stably embedded if every $ M $-definable subset of $ D^n $, for any $ n $, is $ D $-definable.
In a stable theory, every definable set is stably embedded. This fact is sometimes called the Parameter Separation Theorem, e.g., by Bruno Poizat. More generally, in an arbitrary theory, the set of realizations of any stable type is stably embedded (right?). For example, any strongly minimal set, or set of Morley rank less than $ \infty $, is stably embedded.
An analogous result exists for o-minimal sets. Theorem 2 in Hasson and Onshuus's paper Embedded O-minimal Structures implies that if $ S $ is a 0-definable ordered set which, in the monster model, has the property that every definable subset of $ S^1 $ is a finite union of points and intervals, then $ S $ is stably embedded.
In ACVF, the value group and the residue field are both stably embedded.
In a monster model $ M $, every elementary map from $ D(M) $ onto $ D(M) $ can be extended to an automorphism of $ M $.
Every complete type over $ D $ is definable over a small subset of $ D $.
Every complete type over $ D $ is implied by a partial type over a small subset of $ D $.
The assumption that enough sets are stably embedded plays a key role in the general means of getting binding groups from internality, as explained in Hrushovski's paper Groupoids, Imaginaries, and Internal Covers.

[Viewpoint] Lim should apologize sincerely
The rough words used by Democratic United Party Representative Lim Soo-kyung during a yelling match at a "P" bar in Insa-dong, central Seoul, were extremely cruel. They ignited the wrath of our society. She started with "How dare you challenge a lawmaker?" and it showed the authoritarianism of a first-term lawmaker who spent just three days in her office. No one will feel easy about it.
Calling Baek Yosep, a 28-year-old North Korean defector, "clueless," Lim then yelled at him, "You North Korean defector sons of bitches! Shut up and live silently in the Republic of Korea, betrayers." She was insulting the entire population of defectors, who risked their lives to come here.
She then cursed at Ha Tae-keung, a former student activist against the authoritarian South Korean regime. Ha is a popular North Korea rights activist. "Ha Tae-keung, you traitor son of a bitch. I will kill you with my hand," Lim said, and her horrifying hostility was evident.
The curses that Lim bombarded Baek with were posted on his Facebook page, and it is hard to believe that those words were from a female lawmaker in her 40s.
Lim apologized twice. The DUP also tried to calm the situation. But they were all meaningless attempts. Her two apologies do not appear sincere.
DUP floor leader, Representative Park Jie-won, said the party won't take any action because Lim offered enough apologies, and his remarks were premature. It is not the DUP, but the people, who will decide whether her apologies were enough or not. It is no wonder many DUP members were concerned that the single yelling match at a bar could cost 2 million votes in the presidential election.
This incident is a sensitive case. Korean society is already fed up with the unreasonable arguments of the hard-core members of the Unified Progressive Party. Although surveys showed that about 70 percent of the people want Lee Seok-gi and Kim Jae-yeon to give up their lawmaker seats, they insisted on the posts. Then, the public began wondering about the identities of members of the DUP, and the incident involving Lim took place.
If the Gyeonggi Dongbu Alliance of the UPP is the symbol of the underground pro-North movement, the upper echelon of the National Alliance of Student Representatives turned to the young lawmakers of the DUP. At least, this is how it appeared to the people. In the political arena, image is much more important than facts. It is no wonder that the lawmakers will be asked if they have shown unconditional, blind support for the North Korean regime or not.
The bar in Insa-dong, where the yelling match between Lim and Baek took place, is a place I regularly visit. It is a small space for light drinking. A female owner and a part-time server often work in the kitchen. Lim is a long-time regular of the bar. When she went through a divorce, lost a child and stayed at the Haein Temple, she visited the place from time to time when she felt depressed.
Lim does have some bad drinking habits. When she was drunk and didn't feel good, she became stubborn. And the next time she returned, she apologized for the other night. Everyone seemed to have some pity for her tragic life. That's the atmosphere of the bar.
The Friday night when the incident happened, the bar had guests at only two tables. According to the witnesses, Lim, who already had some drinks, was having beer with her aide. They were having two bottles of beer, and her driver just ordered a soda.
When Lim and Baek took photos together and the part-time server erased three photos from Baek's smartphone, nothing much happened.
The yelling began when Baek identified himself as a defector, saying, "Do you know how the North Korean regime would handle a situation like this? They'd shoot your aide."
The testimonies vary starting from this point. While Baek claimed he was joking, witnesses said he was provoking Lim and her entourage. After many swear words, Lim left the bar, but Baek and his entourage stayed, received apologies from the bar owner and the server and left after midnight after an hour of the drinking.
Ha gave cool advice to Lim that she should get sober. Maybe that's true. But it is hard to just let go of her profanity. No matter how drunk she was, she was a politician and she failed to control her emotions to a stranger. The incident will leave a deep scar on the defectors' hearts. Lim will have to offer more apologies in the future until the defectors will forgive her.

Why & How to Switch to an Instagram Business Profile
Ever since announcing Instagram Business Profiles in 2016, brands have asked, "should I switch to an Instagram Business Profile or keep my personal account?"
For a lot of organizations, converting their account was an easy decision. In fact, there are over 25 million business profiles connected at the moment. However, some brands are on the fence because they're concerned about how it will affect their profile and whether or not they'll see a drop in engagement after switching.
We get it. With all the news about Facebook's algorithm prioritizing content from friends and families over brands, you can't help but wonder if Instagram is going to be affected too.
However, all the evidence suggests that switching to a business account will only help you. With access to analytics and other features unavailable to personal accounts, it's all upside. So it's no wonder why Instagram is nudging brands to switch.
In this post, we'll dive into the benefits of switching to an Instagram Business Profile, as well as show you how to convert your account if you're currently using a personal account.
What's the Difference Between a Personal & Instagram Business Profile?
The major difference between an Instagram Business Profile and a personal account is access to features like Instagram Insights, contact information, Instagram Ads and more.
Before Instagram Business Profiles were a "thing," brands relied on tactics like pack their bio with all their contact information or make assumptions about who's their target audience. But when you switch to a business profile, that's all taken care of.
Think of an Instagram Business Profile as a "beefed up" version of a personal profile. Sure, you technically could manage your brand's Instagram account with a personal profile. But why limit yourself when you can switch to a business profile in a matter of seconds, and get so much more?
With that being said, let's take a look at how to actually make the change.
How to Switch to an Instagram Business Profile
Here's how to switch to a business profile on Instagram:
Login to your Instagram account and go to settings.
Tap "Switch to Business Profile".
Instagram will prompt you to connect to a Facebook business page (note: you need to have Admin access to the Facebook page in order to convert to an Instagram Business Profile).
Choose a category for your profile/business.
Fill out your contact details (email address, phone number and address). You need to fill out at least one of these.
That's all there is to it! Instagram also has a video walkthrough that shows you the process step-by-step.
How to Switch from Instagram Business Profile to a Personal Account
If for some reason you switch from an Instagram Business Profile back to a personal account, that's simple to do as well.
Login to your Instagram account and go into settings.
In the "Business Settings" section, tap "Switch Back to Personal Account".
Instagram will give you a prompt to make sure you want to switch to a personal account. Tap "Switch Back" to confirm.
Keep in mind that you can always switch back to a business profile. We highly recommend sticking to a business profile if you're a brand, however.
Now that you know how to switch, we'll go over some of the benefits of using an Instagram Business Profile.
Benefits of an Instagram Business Profile
As we mentioned, some people are slightly hesitant about swapping to a business profile. But the benefits are hard to ignore. Seriously, check out these six benefits to an Instagram Business Profile:
1. Access Instagram Insights
This is probably the number one reason brands switch to an Instagram Business Profile.
If you're currently using a personal account, you likely don't have much data on how well your Instagram posts or Stories are performing. At best, you're probably just manually monitoring the number of likes and comments your content receives.
When you switch over to a business profile however, you get access to Instagram Insights. This is Instagram's native analytics platform that gives you data on engagement, impressions, audience demographics and more.
Insights is a great start, but at some point you'll likely want more data. For instance, tracking your top performing hashtags for the month or doing some competitive analysis. You'll need a separate tool in order to get that level of analysis.
Once you've switched to a business profile, you'll have the ability to connect your Instagram account to third party tools like Sprout Social, and get all the reports and analytics your heart desires.
Basically what we're getting at is if you want more data (what marketer doesn't?), you need to switch to an Instagram Business Profile.
2. Run Instagram Ads
Advertising is all about getting your message in front of your target audience wherever their attention is. Instagram has a lot of that attention right now, which explains why brands are seeing so much success running Instagram Ads.
In fact, Instagram's ad revenue is expected to reach nearly $7 billion in 2018, up from $3.6 billion in 2017.
With numbers like this, it makes more sense than ever to start running Instagram Ads. The first step is to switch to a business profile since Instagram Ads isn't available to personal accounts.
For more tips, check out our Instagram ads guide.
3. Post on Instagram From a Desktop
Earlier this year, Instagram announced their API would allow users to publish photos from a desktop, through select third party platforms. Sprout Social is one of those partners, which means you can publish content directly from Sprout to your Instagram page—as long as you've converted your profile from personal to business.
This is a huge time-saver and efficiency booster for brands. You no longer need to rely on notifications to remind you to post on Instagram, or have your phone on-hand. Plus, if you use desktop software to create or edit your photos before posting to Instagram, you don't have to worry about uploading the edited version to your phone. Just log into Sprout, upload your image, write out your caption and hit send.
So if you've been looking for a way to post to Instagram from a desktop, the wait is over. Switch to a business profile and use Sprout to post right from your computer.
4. Beef Up Your Instagram Profile
Another benefit of Instagram business accounts is you get a few extra features on your profile page. For instance, contact buttons so people can easily get in touch with your brand without having to search for your support phone number or email address.
While it may not seem like a huge deal, consider this: Social media is people's top choice for customer care.
That means when your customers have an issue with your company, the first place they head is social media, not your website. You need to make it as easy as possible for people to get in touch with you about potential issues so your comments aren't filled with irate customers.
Adding an email or tap-to-call button on your profile can go a long way toward getting customer support issues handled outside of your Instagram feed.
5. Potentially Get Access to New Features Early
Here's a benefit of switching to an Instagram business account that a lot of brands overlook. The potential to test new features early.
Instagram is constantly testing new features, and before rolling them out to the masses they usually test them with a smaller group of users first.
While there's no guarantee that you'll get early access to any features, you won't even have the option if Instagram doesn't know you're a business.
6. Keep Your Promotions & Partnerships Compliant
It's no secret that the FTC has been cracking down on paid sponsorships and deals between brands and influencers. If you're paying influencers or publishers to create a sponsored post or ad, you need to disclose it in each post.
Instagram has been trying to make the process easier with their branded content feature. Branded content adds a "Paid Partnership" snippet in any posts from influencers you work with.
One of the biggest benefits of using this feature, aside from avoiding costly fines, is it gives you insights into the content's performance. Instead of relying on the publisher to provide you with data on how much engagement or reach the post they made for you received, you can see it right from your Facebook account.
If you plan on doing any influencer marketing or partnerships with other publishers, you definitely need to switch to a business profile.
It's Time to Make the Switch
Hopefully we've helped shed some light on the whole Instagram Business Profile debate. If you're a brand on Instagram, we highly recommend switching to a business account. The benefits are too good to pass up and it takes less than a minute to do. Make the switch and thank us later.

The positive economic development has attracted investors and businesses to the West African country which demanded a rise in real estate development.
A rapid surge in real estate investment in recent years in Ghana can be attributed to a growth in economic development and an influx of expatriates and foreign investments.
The positive economic development has attracted investors and businesses to the West African country which demanded a substantial rise in real estate development to accommodate the incoming foreign investment traffic, as well as the increasing local population.
Ghana is leading the pack of top ten growing economies worldwide with an impressive growth rate of 8.3%, according to the World Bank.
Furthermore, Ghana's population is heading towards 30 million people with an expatriate population of about 40,000 people and growing. Most expatriates live in Accra, which has seen rapid property development in recent years.
Ghana's property developers need to cater to both growing populations, locals and expatriates and educate the public on making informed decisions about real estate.
For real estate investors, exhibitions and seminars are a good opportunity to find investment opportunities and gain essential skills in finding properties with investment potential.
A recent housing and property fair, the MeQasa Property Expo, brought together real estate developers, mortgage specialists and housing experts discussing Ghana's property market and its investment potential.
The three-day event was organised by online property marketplace MeQasa and took place at the Aviation Social Centre in Accra. Topics covered involved advice on finding the right home, how to spot property with investment potential, how to avoid land litigation, budgeting, mortgaging and property law.
Popular real estate investment opportunities in Accra include condominiums, luxury apartments, and townhouses in gated communities.

Ohio State vs. Notre Dame preview: Buckeye seniors seek immortality against Irish

For just the sixth time ever, Ohio State and Notre Dame square off on the gridiron.
Ten years after their last meeting, Ohio State and Notre Dame get together in the desert again for the BattleFrog Fiesta Bowl in Glendale, Arizona. The Buckeyes had been hoping to be competing in a second straight College Football Playoff, but a loss to Michigan State in late November derailed those plans. Now Urban Meyer's team will have to get up for this matchup against the Fighting Irish, but it shouldn't be too hard since it's always a big deal when Ohio State and Notre Dame get together. This is just the sixth matchup between the schools, but the third straight one in which both teams were ranked in the Top 10. Ohio State has won the last three meetings, including the 34-20 victory over the Fighting Irish 10 years ago in the Fiesta Bowl.
The last time Buckeye fans saw Ohio State on the football field was over a month ago, when Ohio State had little issue dispatching Michigan 42-13 in Ann Arbor. The Buckeyes went into halftime up 14-10, and pulled away in the second half for their fourth straight win over their hated rival. J.T. Barrett and Ezekiel Elliott combined to rush for five touchdown, with Barrett adding another through the air. Elliott racked up 214 yards in the win, while also moving into second in Ohio State history in career rushing yards, passing Eddie George. The junior running back won't be able to take the top spot though, as he is well behind Archie Griffin, and Elliott has already announced his intentions to declare for the NFL Draft.
Much like Ohio State, Notre Dame had dreams of the College Football Playoff coming into the year. In early October, Hurricane Joaquin derailed some of those hopes. The Fighting Irish fell to Clemson 24-22 in a rain-soaked game under the lights in Death Valley. While that loss didn't eliminate Notre Dame from playoff contention, the 38-36 loss to Stanford in late November was the nail in the coffin of any playoff hopes for the Fighting Irish. A win here would give Notre Dame 11 wins, which would mark the second time in four years they did that. The only other time the Fighting Irish had two seasons of 11 wins over a four-year period was when they won 12 games in 1988 and 1989.
It's impressive Notre Dame even made it to 10 wins after looking at the injuries the Fighting Irish have had to deal with this season. After rushing for 889 yards and six touchdowns last year, running back Tarean Folston was lost for the season after injuries his knee just three plays into the season. Notre Dame had little trouble in the season-opening win against Texas thanks to junior quarterback Malik Zaire, who threw for 313 yards and three touchdowns. In the next game against Virginia, Zaire was also lost for the season after breaking his ankle, leaving redshirt freshman DeShone Kizer to take the snaps.

Ohio State's Biggest Advantages
Take it to the air: Ohio State might have relied on Ezekiel Elliott and the running game for most of the season, but they would be wise to open up the passing game in the Fiesta Bowl. Notre Dame comes into this contest missing a trio of players in the secondary, with the most notable injured player being senior cornerback KeiVarae Russell, who suffered a fractured right tibia against Boston College in November.
Russell's replacement, junior cornerback Devin Butler, fractured a bone in his foot, which means he'll also miss the Fiesta Bowl, leaving sophomore Nick Watkins to start at one of the cornerback positions. If that wasn't bad enough for Notre Dame, junior safety Max Redfield has been suspended for this game for violation a team rule.
Wide receiver Michael Thomas has caught at least one pass in 28 straight games, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see Thomas get more targets with Notre Dame having a depleted secondary. Jalin Marshall has started to make some strides in the passing game, catching a touchdown pass in each of the last two games for Ohio State. Also, with Braxton Miller playing in his final game for the Buckeyes, Urban Meyer will probably have a few extra targets penciled in for Miller.
To go or not to go: Often times when there is speculation of players getting ready to declare for the NFL Draft, a bowl game without anything on the line can lead to some lackluster performances. Ohio State won't be fighting for a national title like last year, but there are a number of Buckeyes who will be looking for strong performances to bolster their draft stock. Ezekiel Elliott announced his intention to declare for the NFL Draft after the Michigan State game, but that didn't slow him down against Michigan the next week.
Joey Bosa will likely declare for the NFL Draft after the Fiesta Bowl, too. Even though Bosa seems to be a given to be taken with one of the first three picks of this spring's draft, a big performance against the strong Notre Dame offensive line could boost Bosa all the way up to being the projected top pick overall in the draft.
For others the decision on whether or not to leave isn't as cut and dried as it is for Elliott and Bosa. Players like Darron Lee, Eli Apple, and Vonn Bell will have an important decision to make following this game. If the trio is as impressive in the Fiesta Bowl as they have been during their Ohio State careers, it could lead to them declaring for the NFL Draft and foregoing their final season in the scarlet and gray.
Then there are some players who will definitely be playing their last game for Ohio State. Linebacker Joshua Perry, offensive linemen Taylor Decker and Jacoby Boren, and Braxton Miller are just a few of the 18 seniors who will be appearing for the final time for Ohio State. A win would tie Boise State's four-year record of 50 wins from 2008-2011 for the most wins by a senior class. For those suiting up for Ohio State for the last time, there is plenty of motivation to end their careers on a high note.
Familiar coaching foes: For a few coaches this game has some extra meaning since they used to work at Notre Dame. Before taking over at Bowling Green, Urban Meyer was the wide receivers coach at Notre Dame from 1996-2000. Meyer undoubtedly has a lot of respect for the prestigious school, but also wants to secure his 50th win as head coach at Ohio State.
When Meyer was filling out his staff when he arrived in Columbus, it was heavy with coaches who were working at Notre Dame. Current co-offensive coordinator Ed Warinner served as the offensive line coach at Notre Dame during then 2010 and 2011 seasons before moving to the same role in Columbus. Tight ends coach Tim Hinton was on the same staff with Warinner at Notre Dame before also moving to Columbus to take on the same role. Strength and conditioning coach Mickey Marotti coached with Meyer for a few years at Notre Dame, serving on the Fighting Irish staff from 1998-2005 before joining Meyer at Florida and then at Ohio State.
The latest coach to move from Notre Dame to Ohio State came in the offseason, when after six years as running backs coach at Notre Dame, Urban Meyer hired Tony Alford to replace Stan Drayton, who took the running backs coach position with the Chicago Bears. With all these past ties this is a game that all these former Notre Dame assistant coaches would love to win for bragging rights.
Notre Dame's biggest advantages
Attack the weakness: It might be crazy to call the Ohio State defensive line weak, but in this game it might be the weak link of their defense just because of the interior linemen they will be missing. Not only did Adolphus Washington get suspended for his final collegiate game after being cited for soliciting a prostitute, but senior Tommy Schutt will also miss his final game due to a broken foot. Even at full strength the offensive line was going to have their hands full with a talented Notre Dame offensive line, and now it'll be even tougher without two key players.
Even though Notre Dame took a hit early in the season with the loss of running back Tarean Folston, they have had a couple players step up to fill the void. Senior running back C.J. Prosise has carried a lot of the load for the Fighting Irish, rushing for 1,032 yards and 10 touchdowns on just 156 carries this season. Prosise has dealt with injuries late in the season, which leaves questions on just how much of an impact he'll have in this game.
If Prosise is still hampered by injury, freshman Josh Adams will be looked on to pick up the slack left by Prosise. Adams has made quite a name for himself during his first season in South Bend, with the highlight being a 98-yard touchdown run against Wake Forest, which is the longest play from scrimmage in Notre Dame history. So far this season Adams has 757 yards rushing, leaving him just a bit shy of Darius Walker's freshman record of 786 yards set in 2004.
Kizer chiefs: After losing Malik Zaire to a broken ankle in just the second game of the season, many Notre Dame fans were probably thinking the season was already over. Redshirt freshman DeShone Kizer has played above and beyond expectations for the Fighting Irish since stepping in as the starter for Zaire. Kizer has thrown for 2,600 yards and 19 touchdowns, while throwing just nine interceptions. The quarterback can also elude defenders, as he rushed for over 100 yards against Temple and Stanford.
Kizer might have a little extra motivation in this game as well, as the Toledo native didn't get much attention from Ohio State in the recruiting process. Had the Buckeyes made a bigger push, Kizer might have had a tougher decision when choosing schools, but Ohio State chose to target a number of other quarterbacks instead of Kizer. Now Kizer has a chance to make Urban Meyer and his staff regret not making a stronger effort to get the quarterback to come play in Columbus.
Count on the specialists: It's tough to win 10 games in a season in college football unless you have all facets of the game working at full capacity. Notre Dame has gotten tremendous play out of their offense and defense, but their special teams has also contributed a lot to their successful season this year.
One name that might ring a bell with Ohio State fans is C.J. Sanders, who is the son of former Buckeye wide receiver Chris Sanders. The younger Sanders was a bit of a child star, as he played young Ray Charles in the movie Ray. The true freshman has been a star on special teams in his short time in South Bend, becoming just the third Notre Dame player ever to return both a kickoff and a punt for a touchdown in the same season.
Another true freshman who is making his mark in the special teams unit is kicker Justin Yoon, who has made 12 field goals in a row. On the season Yoon has only missed two field goals, with one coming in each of the first two games of the season. Ohio State has had plenty of issues with field goal kicking this year, so if this ends up being a close game, the Fighting Irish will have a little more confidence if it comes down to a field goal attempt.
F/+ Projection: Ohio State 32, Notre Dame 28
Win Probability: Ohio State 60%
It's always a game that can't be missed when Ohio State and Notre Dame square off, just because these two storied programs don't see each other on the field all that often. Had it not been for the bowl meeting with Ohio State, this would have been the first year since 1916 in which Notre Dame didn't play an active Big Ten team. Add in the former coaching ties of Urban Meyer and his staff to Notre Dame, as well as all the NFL talent on the field, and this is a game that should live up to the hype.
Projections have Ohio State winning this game by four points, which puts it just inside the nearly touchdown the Buckeyes are laying with the point spread. Both teams have some areas of concern on their defenses due to injuries and suspensions, which could make this a little more of a high scoring game than some were expecting. In the end, Ohio State gets up for this game and squeaks out their fourth straight win against Notre Dame.

February 25, 2015 Bruce Berman Litigation, News, Places, Uncategorized 2 comments
Samsung has had to defend itself from dozens of patent suits in the Eastern District of Texas, one of the most popular venues for patent plaintiffs.
At times it may feel to a defendant like a Texas version of the movie 'Groundhog Day.' The company so often finds itself in front of a Marshall, TX jury that you could call this part of the U.S. its home away from home. And, as it's been said, that's where charity should begin.
In an apparent effort to make itself more hospitable to Marshall's denizens, Samsung has been donating cash, monitors and recreational facilities to local charities and schools. (See Samsung sponsored ice skating rink pictured below in front of the Marshall's historic court house.)
A well-researched and cited story that ran recently in Ars Technica lists of some of Samsung's charitable activities, which include a field trip to a local semiconductor plant. The story starts out discussing how a Marshall jury has awarded $15.7 million to Rembrandt, a successful NPE that had sued Samsung over having infringed its bluetooth technology.
"The company also makes a habit of granting scholarships to high school students in Marshall and nearby Tyler," reported Ars Technica, "giving a total of $50,000 last year. Winners receive photograph-worthy giant checks with a Samsung logo on them, and those images are often published in the local newspaper. The same check was on display in the News-Messenger when Samsung made a donation to Habitat for Humanity.
"No Samsung donation seems to be too small for the company's public relations team to promote. The Samsung Holiday Celebration Show, an $8,000 donation of monitors to Marshall High School, and a field trip to an Austin semiconductor plant all made the News-Messenger. A 2012 op-ed referred to Samsung as 'the South Korean company that has fortunately become Marshall's benefactor.'"
Joe Mullin, veteran legal and technology reporter and "troll" tracker, provides a good analysis of Samsung's charitable giving history in and around Marshall, TX. (Unfortunately, the Marshall News-Messenger seems to have deactivated most of the links.)
The discussion of charitable giving comes at the end of the bluetooth litigation story. It does not speculate whether it may have influenced the amount of the damages awarded in the case, which are relatively low for a jury award in a patent case against a company of this size. To be fair, Samsung was on the hook for only $15.7M, and the award could be the result of any number of factors, not just the mood of the jury.
What's next for defendants in patent cases? Maybe Apple will erect a dream stadium for high school football in Tyler, TX, another popular patent venue — They could call it Apple Field: If you build it a jury will come give you a break.

Access to some of our lessons has changed
Our lessons and resources were initially created at the height of the pandemic with a range of schools, publishers and organisations. With the worst of the pandemic now thankfully behind us, we've been discussing new arrangements with our partners.
We've been working hard to keep all our lessons and resources available. You'll still be able to access and fully rely on 85% of our content for the full year ahead, with no changes.
Unfortunately, due to restrictions and the end of licences from some of our partners, we have had to remove some lessons and subjects in certain key stages. We're really sorry as we know the changes will cause inconvenience.
Continued access via United Learning's platform
Lessons for the following subjects have now been taken down from our online Classroom and Teacher Hub. We're pleased, however, that you'll continue to be able to access these for free from United Learning's own platform:
KS4 history
KS3 and KS4 science
KS3 and KS4 geography
KS3 and KS4 art
You can access these on United Learning's platform here.
If you have any queries about accessing the platform or content you can contact United Learning via continuityoak@unitedlearning.org.uk.
KS3 and KS4 science: new sample resources
You can now access a small number of sample KS3 and KS4 science lesson resources via Oak. Find out more.
Other limited changes on the Oak platform
The following, more limited, changes have also been made:
KS4 MFL lessons
Not all lessons are affected, but across all units of KS4 French, German and Spanish, there have been changes to some lessons. In the affected lessons, due to copyright restrictions we've removed the video lessons and transcripts, and updated lesson slides to remove some speaking and listening exercises. Where they were already available, our worksheets and quizzes are still there for you to use to support your teaching.
The exercises that have been removed from the slides can be found in textbooks by Pearson. You can find the textbook and page references in the curriculum map appendices tables we've linked to below (second tab, final column). These documents also include a breakdown of the lessons and information about the grammar, vocabulary and sounds of the language each lesson should cover, so teachers who do not have access to the relevant textbooks can plan appropriate exercises of their own.
KS4 French
KS4 German
KS4 Spanish

The sonnet through time,: 'The sonnet-ballad', Gwendolyn Brooks.
A small number of citizenship lessons have been removed. Use our lesson directory to find the lessons that have been removed.
A small number of specialist lessons have been removed. Use our lesson directory to find the lessons that have been removed.
All other units, key stages and subjects will be unaffected and, as above, you'll still be able to access and fully rely on these for all of 2022/23.
Plan for the changes using our directory
To help you navigate these changes, we've updated our Lesson and Resource Directory: a downloadable document detailing every one of our lessons.
We've highlighted the lessons that will be changed or moved from Oak and made available on United Learning's platform.
As part of our plans for the future, we'll be working with schools and expert organisations in the years ahead to create new, improved resources in all of the above affected subjects. You can read more about our plans here.
When we initially created our lessons, we never envisaged they'd be available for so long, so we want to thank all our partners for the amazing support they've given.

Though conditions in the blazing hot, dry Sonoran Desert may seem inhospitable to life, all manner of flora and fauna thrives there. Saguaro National Park is the best place to see not only its namesake plant, but also hundreds of other species of cacti, grasses, shrubs, flowers, trees, birds, mammals and reptiles. And the scenery isn't shabby either; the plants and critters live amid a dramatic backdrop of terracotta-tinted mountains and endless blue sky. Come visit and experience the wild beauty of the desert.
The giant saguaro cactus is the universal symbol of the western USA, and Tucson, Arizona, is home to the nation's largest cacti. These majestic plants, found only in a small portion of the United States, are protected by Saguaro National Park, to the east and west of the modern city of Tucson. Here you have a chance to see these enormous cacti, silhouetted by the beauty of a magnificent desert sunset.
There is so much to take in while visiting this beautiful park. Saguaro National Park has two districts: East and West. The park also encompasses numerous hiking trails that wind through the stunning desert scenery — all within easy reach of the restaurants, shops and galleries of Tucson.


So, what really causes bad breath? It could be one of many factors, or a combination of these same factors.
From a dental perspective, bad breath could be caused by poor oral hygiene. Bad odors can occur from food debris, plaque and tartar that are not cleaned away by proper brushing, flossing and regular visits to see the hygienist.
Also, for many individuals, it means cleaning the tongue. Our tongues have a velvet-like surface that attracts bacteria on a daily basis. Untreated gum disease or untreated cavities are big contributing factors in the search for tracking down the sources of bad breath.
If, after looking at all these factors the issue is not resolved, we consider physical concerns like gastric reflux or gastric distress, sinus infections or dry mouth syndrome. A dry mouth can be caused by certain medications, anxiety or dehydration issues.
So, if you are interested in becoming more kissable…..think about these factors that could be causing bad breath. We all want our breath to be fresh and not offensive to those we come in contact with on a daily basis.
I look forward to seeing you soon. If you have any questions, please bring them up at your next visit.

Q: Nails and strings and paintings This question is based on the "Picture proof" challenges from Rankk.org...
IDEA:
You want to hold up a painting using nails on a wall and string. The string is attached to the left and right sides of the painting and the nails are in between (let's say in a horizontal straight line for simplicity).
QUESTION:
The object is to find ways of doing this to satisfy various requirements. For example, so that if any one nail is taken out, it will fall. Or so that if any two nails (but not one) are taken out it will fall. In particular, I want to find short solutions or even a method to construct all possible solutions. Basically, what exactly is the mathematical structure and what are the main results or whatever.
VISUALS:
Here I use capitals for the inverses.

THEORY:
First nomenclature. Let's say we have three nails: $a$, $b$ and $c$. If we pass over the first nail rightwards, we call that $a$, but if we go over it leftwards, we call that $a^{-1}$. Then if we conatenate or multiply them, it means we do one after another. So for example, $abc$ corresponds to the string going across over the top of all the three nails from left to right. In that case, all three nails would need to be removed before the painting fell. Something like $aba^{-1}$ means it's looped around $b$ but sort of hanging on $a$ as well. Only $b$ needs to be removed for it to fall.
Obviously $aa^{-1}$ cancels out. And $a^5$ means a bunch of loops. Removing a nail simply means removing all of its appearances in the formula. The painting will fall if the whole thing reduces to the identity. Eg) $bca^{-1}cac$ becomes $bc^3$ if the $a$ nail is taken out. Perhaps the most powerful tool I've found is that you can use a kind of conjugation as an "or" operator. It entangles the two parts. For example, $aba^{-1}b^{-1}$ will fall if either $a$ or $b$ are removed. The complement "and" operator is just multiplication. So $abcb^{-1}a^{-1}c^{-1}$ is $ab$ conjugated with $c$ and will fall if $c$ is removed or both $a$ and $b$.
As a starting point, who can find a short string for four nails that falls if any two are taken out?
PS. I can give more examples...

A: A possible solution (in the first situation, that is we require exactly one nail to be pulled out in order for the picture to fall down) for nails $\alpha_1, \dots, \alpha_n$ would be the iterated commutator: $\gamma = [\alpha_1,\dots, \alpha_n]$, where $[a_1,a_2] = a_1a_2a_1^{-1}a_2^{-1}$ and $[a_1, \dots, a_n,a_{n+1}] = [[a_1,\dots, a_n],a_{n+1}]$.
The problem is completely described in the following way: Find an element $\gamma$ of the free group $F$ on generators $\alpha_1, \dots, \alpha_n$, such that $\gamma$ is not trivial and lies in the kernel of all the projection maps $F \to F/\langle \alpha_k \rangle$.
Now for the challenge at the end of your post: Let $\{a_1,a_2,a_3\} := a_1a_2a_3a_1^{-1}a_2^{-1}a_3^{-1}$. An element $\gamma$ of the free group $F$ generated by $\alpha_1,\alpha_2,\alpha_3,\alpha_4$, which is not trivial, whose projections $F \to F/\langle \alpha_k\rangle$ are not trivial but which lies in the kernel of the projections $F \to F/\langle \alpha_k, \alpha_j \rangle$ whenever $k \neq j$ is given by $\gamma = [\{\alpha_1,\alpha_2,\alpha_3\},\{\alpha_1,\alpha_2,\alpha_4\},\{\alpha_1,\alpha_3,\alpha_4\},\{\alpha_2,\alpha_3,\alpha_4\}]$. It should now be pretty easy to see how to generalize these results (using more nails, or requiring more nails to be pulled out) using only $[]$ and $\{\}$.

A: Relevant: Picture-Hanging Puzzles by Demaine et al:

We show how to hang a picture by wrapping rope around $n$ nails, making a polynomial number of twists, such that the picture falls whenever any $k$ out of the $n$ nails get removed, and the picture remains hanging when fewer than $k$ nails get removed. This construction makes for some fun mathematical magic performances. More generally, we characterize the possible Boolean functions characterizing when the picture falls in terms of which nails get removed as all monotone Boolean functions. This construction requires an exponential number of twists in the worst case, but exponential complexity is almost always necessary for general functions.

"All monotone Boolean functions" means the following: Suppose you have a set $S$ of nails, and you select a family $\mathcal F$ of subsets of $S$. You remove some subset $S'$ of nails from the wall, and you want the picture to fall if and only if $S'\in\mathcal F$.
It is possible to hang the picture so that it falls only if a set of nails $S'$ is removed that is in $\mathcal F$ if and only if $\mathcal F$ has the following properties:

*

*If $S'$ is an element of $\mathcal F$, so is any superset of $S'$.

*If $S'$ is not an element of $\mathcal F$, the neither is any subset of $S'$.
So for example, if you want the picture to fall if nails $A$ and $B$ are removed, you have to agree that it will also fall if $A$, $B$, and some other nails are removed, and if you want the picture to stay up if only $A$ and $B$ are removed, you have to agree that it will also stay up if only $A$ or only $B$ is removed.

We have recently looked at two different approaches to application workload efficiency. The first is from 1E, the power management software vendor. 1E's server power management solution has two main elements. The first is the provision of detailed analysis of the application-level utilization of IT servers. This enables IT managers to understand in detail the utilization of their IT assets. NightWatchman reporting can therefore help in the identification and elimination of comatose servers, as well as the manual fine-tuning of server performance. The second element is the NightWatchman Drowsy Server capability, which utilizes built-in processor power management capabilities to allow voltage levels to be modified on demand. 1E combines this capability with defined business rules to decide which workloads should run at lower power levels. These tasks are then carried out using minimum power levels, reducing power consumption when the server is not doing useful work.

John Donaldson
J.L. Wilkinson
Series: Diamond Heads '15
Team: All Nations
League: Independent
John Wesley Donaldson (1891-1970) "was the most amazing pitcher I ever saw" said J. L. Wilkinson, who had seen them all: Cubans, Blacks, Whites and the best female players of the early 20th century. Wilkinson's All Nations team was a famed forbear of the Negro Leagues of which he was a founder. He told Satchel Paige that, had Donaldson been available to play for their Kansas City Monarchs, Paige would have been behind John in the rotation. Research has documented as many as 399 wins in Donaldson's long career in black baseball; a career that would have been quite different had he heeded John McGraw's plea to adopt a Cuban persona, renounce his family ties and come play in the major leagues. McGraw later said he'd have paid $50,000 for the left-hander but for the color barrier. But Donaldson was a man of integrity and dignity. He wouldn't stoop to denying his heritage and thus remained in the "bushes" as modern baseball unfolded without him on the mounds that he deserved. Amateur historian Peter Gorton has made Donaldson his occupation, gathering records from libraries and news files around the country. Published box scores reveal games of phenomenal strikeout performances with the highest being 31 in an 18-inning game. John was just too good for the caliber of players he was able to face.
Donaldson first pitched for clubs in Missouri before touring with the barnstorming Tennessee Rats and then the All Nations. His 30-year career ended in 1949, two years after Jackie Robinson debuted in Brooklyn
4,915 strikeouts have been documented for Donaldson. Remarkably, this total does not include the strikeouts from more than 150 games in which Donaldson pitched, but for which statistical data is lacking
Research shows that Donaldson compiled a 1.37 ERA over his 30 year career, during which he also threw 13 no hitters and one perfect game.
Donaldson had two, 30-k games; eleven, 25+ K games; thirty, 20+ K games
Despite never playing in MLB, Donaldson did become the first full-time black scout in major league history. He scouted for the Chicago White Sox from 1949 into the 1950s
Of Donaldson, John McGraw said, "I think he is the greatest I have ever seen."
J.L. Wilkinson credits Donaldson with suggesting the name "Monarchs" for Wilkinson's pioneering Negro League team from Kansas City
In 2006 the special HOF committee charged with evaluating pre-Negro League talent declined to include Donaldson
Additional cards in pop: 1
Lowest winning bid: $19.50
Highest winning bid: $102.58
Hall: National Baseball Hall of Fame
James Leslie Wilkinson (1878-1964) loved to play baseball and he loved to see everyone play the game. He organized women's teams, black and Cuban teams, and the multi-hued All-Nations team. He barnstormed with the House of David and brought night baseball to the heartland. His KC Monarchs sent more black players to the majors than any other Negro League club and eleven of his players are in Cooperstown. Being the sole white owner in the black circuits may have seemed an unlikely role for this modest Midwesterner, but "Wilkie's" integrity and fairness earned the trust of Rube Foster when he organized the NNL in 1920. Few men of any background have left the legacy that Wilkinson established.
Won 17 titles and two Colored World Series
An inveterate entrepreneur and showman, Wilkie brought the joy of America's game to all of America thru the Roaring Twenties, the depths of Depression, and the darkness of WWII
Elected to Hall of Fame: 2006
