In man there are 39 homeobox genes of the HOX family in four loci, HOXA, HOXB, HOXC and HOXD on chromosomes 7, 17, 12, and 2. We discovered the existence of two major alleles, termed a and b, of gene HOXB1. They differ at a specific position in the 5' portion of the coding region. Sequencing the two alleles revealed that the allele HOXB1A, contains two copies of the 9bp sequence 5'ACAGCGCCC3', starting at position 65 of the coding region, whereas the allele HOXB1b contains three copies of this sequence (Fig. 1). As a consequence, the allele HOXB1b encodes a homeoprotein containing two copies of the tripeptide HisSerAla, starting at amino acid residue 25, which is present in only one copy in allele HOXB1a. We analyzed 250 individuals and found that the allelic frequencies of HOXB1a and HOXB1b were 78.8% and 21.2%. The murine homologue contains only one copy of the 9bp repeat (Fig. 1). 7 mouse strains, namely 129, BALB/c, C57BL/6, C57BL/10, CAST/Ei, C3H and SPRET/Ei, are homozygous for this allele. The allele present in gibbon and rhesus monkey appears to be identical to the human HOXB1b (Fig. 1).

I can't say I'm a dyed-in-the-wool Prince fan but I do enjoy a lot of his music and admire his career. There's no question Prince (a.k.a. Prince Rogers Nelson) is a living legend of pop music. With roots in funk, soul, and R&B, he is prolific, averaging more than 1 album per year since 1978.
What has always eluded me is why I don't like more of his music. Engaging less and less with his new music over the years, I felt he had lost his touch. With his latest release, I've come to realize: Prince just bores easily. With so much chart success early in his career, Prince's musical centre of gravity shifted to anti-pop experimentation. The hits continued through the 90's but his albums on the whole bore the mark of an artist striving not to be boxed-in by conventional pop.
HitnRun Phase Two is his most consistently accessible album in a very long time. As if to show off his hit-making prowess, Prince serves up pop hits in multiple sub-genres of the form. "Rocknroll Loveaffair" and "Big City" are vintage 80s/90s Prince. "Look at me, Look at U" draws more from his R&B/ballad chops. "Black Muse" is different yet again, verging on smooth jazz. What's remarkable is that they are all chart worthy songs [drop mic here].
Phase Two reminds us that Prince can dispense music at will in almost any form that strikes his creative fancy. If this album happens to be a crowd-pleaser, some may unfurl the "comeback" banner but Prince quietly knows, he never left. He's just allowing us to catch up again.


Hi. My name is Randy, and I'm happy to call San Diego home.
I was lucky enough to have been born and raised here, and I consider San Diego to be one the most incredible cities in the United States. Though I've had the fortune of living in other parts of the country, my longing to return home has always brought me back to the amazing weather and majestic beaches of southern California. What's more, my love for the unique beauty and diversity of the area has helped to foster a passion for sharing the experience of living here with others.
After serving 4 years in the Army, I was honorably discharged from active duty three weeks before September 11, 2001. At the time, I wasn't sure whether or not I'd be called back to duty, so I remained with my wife in North Carolina, just outside of Fort Bragg. As a young family, we had the intention of establishing roots in an area where the cost of living was relatively low. It didn't work. The humid weather, mosquitoes, and a 4-hour drive to the nearest beach forced us to rethink our choice.
My wife and I moved back to San Diego in 2005, choosing La Jolla as the community to raise our children. Considering my personal experience with buying, selling, and renting real estate, Greater Good Realty seemed like a perfect fit. Working as a realtor has allowed me to use my background in sales and business development to better serve the people and communities of San Diego. Specializing as a buyer's agent, I focus mostly on San Diego's downtown districts and northern suburbs. I also work in some of the more family oriented areas around the city, such as La Jolla, Del Mar, and Rancho Santa Fe.
When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time with my family at the beach and going on camping trips. We're a pretty active family in general, and are involved with various local groups in our community. Our kids participate in music, dance, boxing, and the local Pop Warner Youth Football league. I also have a background in fitness nutrition and training, and absolutely love being outdoors, whether that be running, biking, hiking, or walking. It's my way of enjoying San Diego's amazing architecture, exploring the area's diverse neighborhoods, and staying atop the city's ever-changing real estate landscape.

On Facing the Blank Page
"The goal always is to write." American Philipp Meyer – author of the bestselling novel 'The Son' – reveals why he doesn't believe that a 'writer's block' exists, and how starting a novel is a matter of drowning out your inner critic. Read more …
To put words down – whether that be on a computer screen or a piece of paper – is the whole point of being a writer: "Anything that gets in the way of that goal is bad." When you're having difficulties writing, you can chiefly blame yourself: "It's basically insecurity. It's your own internal critic turned up to a higher level than it's supposed to be at that moment," says Meyer. When you're starting a new book and facing a blank page "your critic has to be turned down to zero." Only when writing without considering other voices than your own, can the story and its characters truly form.
Philipp Meyer (b. 1974) is an American novelist. Meyer's first novel, 'American Rust' (2009), won the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, and his second novel, 'The Son' (2013), was runner-up for the Pulitzer Prize in Literature and has been on the bestseller list in several countries. Meyer is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship (2010), a Doie Paisano Fellowship (2010) and in the same year he was named one of The New Yorker's 20 best writers under 40. He lives in Austin, Texas. Find out more about him here: http://www.philippmeyer.net/
Philipp Meyer was interviewed by Kasper Bech Dyg in connection to the Louisiana Literature festival at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Denmark in August 2014.

ANGELS WITH DIRTY WINGS
Any fan of the Christmas comedy hit of the 1990s, Home Alone, remembers Angels with Dirty Wings. It was the film noir movie that the kid protagonist played repeatedly, the mobster's taunt – "Keep the change, ya filthy animal" – punctuated with a spray of .45 cal. bullets from a Model 1928 Thompson submachine gun, being used as part of the boy's plot to keep the bad guys at bay.
In today's case, the angel is Angel's Path, a developer, and the dirt on its wings slid off a big mound the company put right on its property line as it built houses. The neighbors didn't much like the dirt sliding into their back yard, and weren't big fans of the stagnant water that collected after every rainstorm. But when Angel's Path asked for summary judgment on the trespass and nuisance claims the Peters brought, for some reason they opposed it on the cheap, with an affidavit from Mr. Peters and a bare letter from their engineer.
It's seldom a good idea, saving money at the most crucial moment in the litigation. Better to adhere to the old law school maxim, "too much is not enough." You have affidavits from five experts? Use 'em all. You have five boxes of documents? Attach 'em. Opposing a motion for summary judgment is no time to spare the horses. Here, Mr. Peters should have had an affidavit from his engineer, his own survey done by a registered surveyor and recorded down at the county building, and enough pictures of shifting dirt piles and standing water to start his own Instagram site.
But he didn't. The trial court granted summary judgment to Angel's Path, finding the survey of property lines — showing the dirt piles on its own land — more persuasive than Mr. Peters' affidavit claim that the dirt had sloughed over the line. Peters' affidavit was "self-serving," the trial judge complained.
The Court of Appeals reversed. Sure the affidavit may be a little self-serving, the Court said, but for purposes of summary judgment — a fairly high bar for a defendant to leap — the Court had little problem believing that a property owner knew where his own boundary lay. The summary judgment test, after all, is whether the evidence, taken in the light most favorable to the party against whom summary judgment is sought, shows there's no material question of fact.
This standard required that the trial court assume that any reasonably detailed facts Mr. Peters raised in his affidavit were true. If after doing this, the court still believes that Peters was not entitled to a judgment, then summary judgment could go for Angel's Path. It was pretty clear that Mr. Peters was going to need a whole lot more persuasion at trial to pull the halo off Angel's Path, but for now – at the summary judgment stage– his showing was enough to stay in the hunt. Just barely.
Incidentally, this case was brought with a companion case from the Kramers, who sued Angel's Path, too. That decision is an interesting study in nuisance and trespass. We'll consider that decision tomorrow.
Peters v. Angel's Path, L.L.C., 2007-Ohio-7103, 2007 Ohio App. LEXIS 6211, 2007 WL 4563472 (Ct. App. Ohio, 2007). Clarence and Nanette Peters complained that Angel's Path, LLC, a developer, damaged their two residential properties. As a result of residential property development by Angel's Path, dirt mounds at the edge of the development property caused water run-off and flooding on their adjacent land. They sought restraining orders to prevent Angel's Path from trespassing on their properties or continuing to alter the natural flow of water, as well as damages.
Angel Path filed a motion for summary judgment, arguing that the earth mounds did not cause run-off to appellants' property or any sinkhole conditions, and therefore, were not a nuisance; and that their surveyor said that the mounds did not encroach upon appellants' property, so no trespass had occurred. The trial court also granted summary judgment against the Peters on both their nuisance and trespass claims. The Peters appealed.
Held: Summary judgment was reversed. A "nuisance" is the wrongful invasion of a legal right or interest. A private nuisance is a nontrespassory invasion of another's interest in the private use and enjoyment of land. In order for a private nuisance to be actionable, the invasion must be either intentional and unreasonable, or unintentional but caused by negligent, reckless, or abnormally dangerous conduct.
If the private nuisance is absolute, strict liability will be applied. By contrast, a qualified nuisance is premised upon negligence, essentially a negligent maintenance of a condition that creates an unreasonable risk of harm. To recover damages for a qualified nuisance, negligence must be averred and proven. A qualified nuisance is a lawful act so negligently or carelessly done as to create a potential and unreasonable risk of harm, which in due course results in injury to another.
Where damage to one property by water run-off from an adjacent property is alleged, Ohio has adopted a reasonable-use rule. A landowner isn't allowed to deal with surface water as he or she pleases, nor is the owner absolutely prohibited from interfering with the natural flow of surface waters to the detriment of others. Instead, each landowner over whose property water flows is allowed to make a reasonable use of the land, even though the flow of surface waters is altered thereby and causes some harm to others. He or she incurs liability only when the harmful interference with the flow of surface water is unreasonable.
In answer to Angel's Path's motion for summary judgment, Mr. Peters provided an affidavit along with photos that claimed the mounds created by Angel's Path had slid across the common property onto his property. Peters' affidavit also said that Angel's Path workers entered onto his property to cut the weeds because the slope of the mounds didn't allow appropriate maintenance without entering onto his land. Finally, the Peters affidavit stated that the back portion of his property now flooded and would not dry out, preventing his use of the land for a rental or for farming. Peters also included as a letter from his expert stating the mounds blocked the natural flow of the water, creating a "permanent pond," and suggesting possible ways to eliminate the problem.
The Court said that Mr. Peters' testimony about the location of his property lines, although perhaps not the best evidence to rebut a commercially prepared survey, was something presumably within the property owner's personal knowledge. Therefore, despite the fact that he had not yet had a separate survey done, the Court would not disregard the affidavit. At the same time, the Court criticized the trial judge for placing too much weight on the fact that Angel's Path plans had been approved by the local county engineers. The Court of Appeals said that while the county engineer and other agencies approved the Angel's Path development plans, including the projected effects that it might have on surrounding properties, "such facts are of little consequence and comfort when examining the real-world results of the construction…"
Here, for the purposes of summary judgment, the Court concluded that the Peters had presented prima facie evidence to establish causes of action for private nuisance and trespass. Whether Angel Path's actions were reasonable, intentional, or negligent, the Court said, are decisions to be made in a trial, not on summary judgment.

Our own Panorama youth trap shooters (see picture) got their tournament season off to a great start.
The Scholastic trap team they shoot on had their first traveling match of the season in January and they were awesome. The team sent 11 shooters to the First match of the Five Star Tournament traveling and they were the top 11 shooters.
Of the three divisions Pro, Junior, and Novice they swept the first three places in all three divisions. Danny Evans shot a 91 and won the pro division, Tanner Chung shot 84 for 3rd place Novice, and David Cohen, and Stephanie Gutierrez shot 86 and 81 respectively.
Congratulations to all. GREAT SHOOTING!

There's no mystery why. The CD offers sterling music values and great musicians like his friends Sheesham and Lotus. The songs themselves are ones Rasberry often sang at campfires both as a kid and a counsellor. The CD is on sale at Brian's Record Option.
For Rasberry, the CD is picking up in the same area where his career started.
Later, Rasberry branched out as a folk singer most notably with the folk group Fireweed. He was also an active volunteer for the Yarker Family School for a decade where, among other things, he assembled a six CD archive of sound, song and story involving the students.
There's one song that's already there, The Cat Came Back, the ditty with many verses about a cat that just is impossible to get rid of. The song became a kind of audio calling card for Canadian children's entertainer Fred Penner.
The title song was written by Rasberry and his friend, singer-songwriter David Archibald.
"I had the lyrics and he's a theatre guy so we came up with a kind of circus theme," says Rasberry. "I saw the words what's the big idea on a graffiti at Queen's. That phrase has many connotations. It could mean don't be a wise guy or it could be an open-ended question.
The other original song by Rasberry on the CD is Name-Rhyming Blues.
Another song called The Road was taken from the repertoire of Rasberry's older brother Pete. "When he was a young man he was in a group called The Boys Camp, which performed all over and this was one of the songs they wrote," he says.
Part of making this CD one that parents could listen to a lot was to have great musicianship on it. There are several guest artists on the CD but most active among them are Sheesham & Lotus, with whom Rasberry is performing often with these days.
Currently, Rasberry is an artist-educator who is on the Ontario Arts Council's artists in education roster. He hopes to take the CD on the road to the various folk festivals across the province and is booked at a couple of them this summer.
Who: Local performer Gary Rasberry has just released a family CD called What's The Big Idea.
Where to buy it: It's available for $20 at Brian's Record Option.

Siccar Point Energy ('Siccar Point') has commenced its 2019 drilling campaign with the spudding of an exploration well at the Blackrock prospect.
The campaign, using Diamond Offshore's Ocean Great White semi-submersible rig, is expected to take around five months and also includes the Lyon exploration prospect North of Shetland.
Located 140 km north-west of Shetland, the Blackrock licence is located directly between the Rosebank and Cambo oil fields. Siccar Point acquired its operated interest in the P.1830 licence in 2017 by acquiring OMV UK Limited. Shell UK Limited joined the current Blackrock licence holders, Siccar Point and Suncor Energy UK Limited, last year in a deal with Siccar Point which included a 30% non-operated interest in Cambo.
The Blackrock prospect targets multiple reservoirs similar to those underlying the neighbouring Rosebank field. If successful, it will add substantial resources as well as de-risk a portfolio of other exploration prospects in the region.
Siccar Point will progress exploration drilling at the material Lyon gas prospect immediately following the Blackrock well.

Henry FitzRoy (ur. 28 września 1663, zm. 9 października 1690) – angielski arystokrata, nieślubny syn Karola II Stuarta, króla Anglii i Szkocji oraz Barbary Palmer.

1 sierpnia 1672 poślubił Isabellę Bennet (ok. 1668–1723), córkę Henry'ego Benneta, 1. hrabiego Arlington i Izabeli von Nassau, córki Ludwika von Nassau. Henry i Isabella mieli razem jednego syna: Charlesa (1683–1757), 2. księcia Grafton i 3. hrabiego Arlington

Z okazji ślubu król Karol nadał swojemu synowi tytuł hrabiego Euston. W 1675 Henry został księciem Grafton, zaś w 1680 kawalerem Orderu Podwiązki, zaś rok później pułkownikiem Grenadierów Gwardii.

Grafton służył w Royal Navy. Jego chrztem bojowym był udział w oblężeniu Luksemburga w 1684. Początkowo służył wiernie katolickiemu królowi Jakubowi II, swojemu stryjowi. Podczas rebelii swojego przyrodniego brata, księcia Monmouth w 1685 dowodził królewskimi wojskami w Somerset. Później jednak pokłócił się z królem i wspólnie z lordem Churchill przyłączył się do Wilhelma Orańskiego.

W 1690 dowodził królewską flotą płynącą do Irlandii. Na wysokości miasta Cork flotę dopadł sztorm, podczas którego Grafton został ciężko ranny i zmarł niedługo później.

As the American economy struggles, China is on the mind of most Americans. Already, 47 percent of Americans believe China is a greater economic power than the United States.
In fact, China's GDP is less than half that of the United States. Americans believe China holds most of the U.S. national debt. In fact, China holds only 7.5 percent of the outstanding U.S. Treasury securities.
Even respected economists project China to pass the United States to become the next economic superpower. Looking only at China's very impressive recent growth and totalitarian government that can "turn on a dime," those forecasts seem plausible.
Indeed, anyone who visits China may be seduced by its economic growth . The Chinese have leapt into the 21st century.
That said, China faces a number of serious hurdles to overcome.
China's central problem is that its government controls all segments of the economy , from its "State Owned Enterprises" to its courts and regulators. There is little separation of power between the government and major industries.
In the past 60 years, Americans have feared that other countries with extensive government involvement in their businesses might pass the United States. The Soviet Union during the 1950s and '60s had extraordinary growth in GDP.
From the 1960s through the '80s, Japan did even better, growing to be the world's second-largest economy. It had major direct government involvement in a very strong industrial policy and Keiretsu, where the government worked with companies to establish groups around a major bank and operate in concert to provide them a sizable advantage in international trade.
While the Japanese economic stagnation of the last decade is harder to dissect, its model is no longer one we would hope to emulate.
The Soviet Union, Japan and China all had great success in their early growth phases for good reason: The United States already blazed the trail in many areas. Other competing countries did not need to make the big gambles on how to proceed. The U.S. was making the discoveries and other countries could engineer improvements or developments with much less risk.
Just like traveling through an unchartered wilderness, the leader must make the decisions as to which way to go and backtrack when mistaken.
The followers can travel faster and easier on the blazed trail. When they reach the front of the trail, these other countries now have to make decisions — by governmental fiat rather than free-market allocation of resources — which can result in costly mistakes.
America's free-enterprise system is designed to do well in making these "leader" decisions. The U.S. economy succeeds because it encourages innovation at all levels, and for the most part keeps the government out of picking winners and losers.
Corruption is antithetical to economic growth.
China's repression of freedom hinders vital growth in research and development, education and innovation.
The absence of basic freedoms and the rule of law inhibit obtaining accurate and comprehensive data on the Internet, creating acceptable working conditions, preventing the theft of intellectual property, stopping the actions of corrupt local officials, avoiding forced technology transfers, receiving fair treatment in the courts and regulatory bodies, and sustaining economic growth and development.
This is already reflected in recent comments about the difficulty of doing business in China by CEOs like Jeffrey Immelt, of General Electric, Peter Loescher, of Siemens, and BASF's Juergen Hambrecht. In the World Bank's rating of "ease of doing business," China came out 79th out of 183 countries.
The U.S. must face up to its many problems. But those who envy how China's autocratic system avoids the endless debates of Washington policymaking must also remember that China's government-run economy, lack of press freedom, widespread corruption, and difficult environment for business in the long run will undermine the soundness of Chinese resource-allocation decisions.
It does not sound like a country about to become No. 1.


So we are back from our week long trip to Swedish Lapland and it was amazing! As someone who has never been anywhere with any amount of snow before it was a little overwhelming being near so much of the fluffy white stuff!!
We were treated not only to the snow but also the NORTHERN LIGHTS!!! Not on just 1 day but 4 days!!! There aren't really any words to explain how thankful I was to actually see them and for them to be so vivid! Bucket list item ticked!!!
Here is a sneak peek of 5 of my favourite shots while I type up the weeks worth of adventures.
Yes we did!!! I would recommend it! Not sure I could stay there though. Too cold.

Q: Confusion in the relationship between compact riemann surfaces and complex algebraic curves I know that every compact Riemann surface is algebraic, i.e. every compact Riemann surface is isomorphic
to a smooth projective complex curve, not necessarily plane (take e.g. the twisted cubic).
However, I have encountered the following proposition in Freitag's "Complex analysis 2":

Every connected compact Riemann surface is biholomorphically equivalent to the Riemann surface which is associated with an irreducible polynomial $P(z,w)\in \mathbb{C}[z,w]$

This proposition confuses me deeply: what about Riemann surface associated with the twisted cubic? Is it biholomorphically equivalent to the R.S. of a plane curve? How can it be so?

A: Take a look at the answer to this question: Is every algebraic curve birational to a planar curve.
It's a fairly short argument that every curve is birational to a planar one. Since birational maps between smooth curves are isomorphisms, I think this answers your question. It seems that the statement "not necessarily planar" is false in your statement. The reason that the twisted cubic is not a counterexample is because it is the image of an embedding $\mathbb P^1\to \mathbb P^3$ and hence is isomorphic to a line in the plane.


Buying low-cost auto insurance has become easier with the help of online plans. Now all you need to know is the best way to purchase auto insurance online.
Car insurance is mandatory, which means that without it, driving your car is illegal on roads (forsikringsselskap norge) . In addition to buying a car, you must take out a suitable automobile policy. Many new car buyers avoid it because of the high rates of auto insurance premiums. For all these buyers, the online policy is the best option available. A large number of leading companies offer affordable auto insurance plans online. The online availability of these packages makes it easy to compare and purchase fonts online. Another key feature is that you can also pay online premiums, policy renewals and run-offs.
Many car owners want to know the smartest ways to save money by buying auto insurance. The good news is that you can do it easily and create financial protection for your car in case of damage caused by accident, liability or other external calamities.
1. Discover the insurance requirements.
Either a new policy or a renewal of your existing policy; understand your insurance requirements Identify key factors, such as budget, deductibles, and other coverage options that are right for your vehicle. Common coverage factors include liability, collision, medical expenses and rental reimbursement (Personforsikring) . Check the availability of property coverage and full coverage against natural disasters and fire or theft damage.
Subscribers tend to purchase additional deductibles and cover options that cost them high auto insurance premiums. These deductibles are easily avoidable, for example, the amount of collision coverage. This is a common franchise that covers the damage done to your vehicle by your own mistake. This is actually an unnecessary cover if you practice safe driving. These seemingly affordable franchises burn bigger holes in your pocket.
The most basic step in finding affordable sources for your vehicle is to compare the available insurance quotes. Compare all available quotes with each other using your policy requirements, including budget, coverage type, source type and deductibles (Innboforsikring) . Check if the policy you want to buy offers affordable premiums and flexible terms.
Insurers offering affordable online policies are not lacking. As a customer, you must make informed decisions and choose a plan that suits the type of vehicle you have. It does not mean being a victim of false ads. You must check the plans according to the requirements of your insurance. Always keep in mind that low-premium policies offer low coverage and that you must pay in the event of an accident. High premiums, by contrast, cover most financial damages.

The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) has just launched the'Better Energy Homes Scheme'. This scheme offers homeowners grant support towards installing various upgrade measures to improve the energy efficiency of their homes.
SEAI 'Better Energy Homes Scheme' Grants are available to eligible applicants for undertaking the following works, in accordance with the requirements contractor Code of Practice Technical Specification.
*Cash Grants are set value unless expenditure is below the set value, in which case the actual expenditure will be reimbursed.
**A Building Energy Rating (BER) is an integral part of all grant applications under the Better Energy Homes scheme, whereby homeowners must undertake a BER on their home after grant aided works have been completed. A homeowner is entitled to BER funding of €50 once per home. This funding will be applied to your grant application automatically provided you have never applied previously for BER funding. You will be informed during the online grant application process if BER funding is available for your home or as part of your Letter of Grant Offer if you have applied through the post. It is advisable that you apply for and undertake all planned grant aided works at the same time to minimise the costs of multiple BER assessments.
*** From December 8th 2011 internal and external wall insulation grants will no longer be one single amount, but rather be based upon the house type.
Please note the minimum grant amount for the first application must be €400. A BER grant, where applicable, does not count towards the €400 minimum.
In the instance where a Contractor is completing works within his own home then only the cost of materials will be deemed qualifying expenditure.
Grants are claimed after the measures are completed and the contractor has been paid by or entered a financing agreement with the homeowner.
Each home signed up the Ballynagran Energy Plus scheme also should by now have received a goodie bag containing their Energy Advisory Report, Radon Test Kit, Low Energy Light Bulbs and Questionnaire.
The Energy Advisory Report provides an indication of the present energy use of your home, provide indicative costings to carry out upgrade works and show how much these works will reduce your energy bills.

But What Do I Know? . . . Fergie Jenkins, Matt Stairs, Paul Quantrill, George Selkirk
– Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame inductee Fergie Jenkins (Chatham, Ont.) posted this powerful photo (below) on Twitter on Tuesday. He also shared a more personal message two days later. He is an important voice to be listening to right now.

– So how is Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame inductee Matt Stairs (Fredericton, N.B.) spending his time during the COVID-19 pandemic? Well, the former big league slugger, who belted 265 home runs in his 19-season major league career, is devoting some of it to helping others. On Friday, Brent Grant, the father of 2020 draft prospect Max Grant, who also hails from Fredericton, N.B., posted this photo on Twitter (below) of Stairs providing instruction to his son. Grant is an 17-year-old outfielder who has honed his skills at the Vauxhall Baseball Academy in Alberta. "Thanks to my high school teammate and friend Matt Stairs for giving back," wrote Brent Grant when he posted the photo below. "Youngest son Max at a loss for words when Matt shows up to watch him hit and lend advice. Neat that Max's hitting coach at Vauxhall, Jim Kotkas was a teammate on 88 Olympic team with Matt."

– It was 26 years ago today that Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame inductee Paul Quantrill (Port Hope, Ont.) registered his first National League win. A week earlier, the versatile right-hander had been traded to the Philadelphia Phillies by the Boston Red Sox. Quantrill entered the game at Veterans Stadium in the bottom of the eighth inning with the Phillies and Chicago Cubs tied 6-6 and struck out slugger Sammy Sosa — the only batter he'd face that day. The Phillies then scored a run in the bottom of the eighth and closer Doug Jones retired the Cubs in the ninth to secure the win for Quantrill. In all, Quantrill recorded 13 wins for the Phillies before being traded to the Toronto Blue Jays on December 6, 1995.

– Eighty-four years ago today, Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame inductee George Selkirk (Huntsville, Ont.) clubbed a walk-off home run in the 16th inning for the New York Yankees to give them a 5-4 win over the Cleveland Indians. Playing right field and batting fifth in the Yankees' lineup behind Joe DiMaggio and Lou Gehrig, Selkirk socked the home run in his seventh at bat of the game. The Canadian outfielder hit 18 home runs and had a career-best 107 RBIs for the Yankees in that 1936 season.
– Here's something I learned this week: For years, people have criticized the Montreal Expos for trading three pitching prospects – Brian Holman, Gene Harris and eventual Hall of Famer Randy Johnson – to the Seattle Mariners for left-hander Mark Langston on May 25, 1989. What I didn't know until I was researching the 1990 MLB draft this week was that after Langston left the Expos and signed with the California Angels following the 1989 campaign, the Expos received a compensatory first-round pick in 1990 draft. They used that pick (24th overall) to select outfielder Rondell White. White proceeded to bat .293 and belt 101 home runs in eight seasons for the Expos.
– And speaking of the Expos, in the MLB draft 43 years ago today, they selected right-hander Bill Gullickson with their second overall pick. The Chicago White Sox chose Hall of Famer Harold Baines with the first pick, while the Brewers opted for Cooperstowner Paul Molitor with the third pick. That draft proved to be lucrative for the Expos. In the third round, they selected right-hander Scott Sanderson and two rounds later they chose a speedy Florida native named Tim Raines.
– So who did the Blue Jays take with their first draft pick in franchise history in that 1977 draft?. The answer is shortstop Tom Goffena. He visited the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame back in 2008 and I had a chance to speak with him. Goffena never made it higher than the class-A level, but eight rounds later the Blue Jays took a promising, strong-armed outfielder named Jesse Barfield.
– Thirty-one years ago today, the Blue Jays registered their first win at SkyDome. They had lost their first two games at their new stadium to the Milwaukee Brewers before Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame inductee Ernie Whitt recorded three hits and three RBIs and left-hander John Cerutti tossed a complete game (see video below) to lead the Blue Jays to a 4-2 win. The game was also notable because it was the first time that a major league game had been played both indoors and outdoors. The roof of the Dome was open until the fifth inning when rain started to fall. There was a short rain delay while the roof closed, but play was eventually resumed indoors.
– At first glance, it looks like the 1982 MLB draft, which took place 38 years ago today, was a bust for the Blue Jays. They had the second overall pick and used it to select shortstop Augie Schmidt who never played in the majors. But if you take a look at some of the other picks made by the club that year, you have to tip your hat to Pat Gillick and his scouting staff. Here's a rundown of some of their selections: David Wells (second round), Jimmy Key (third round), Pat Borders (sixth round) and Mike Henneman (22nd round). And yes, that's the Mike Henneman, who was a reliable closer for the Tigers for several years. Two Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame inductees – Duane Ward (ninth overall, Atlanta Braves) and Kirk McCaskill (fourth round (88th overall), California Angels) were also selected that year.
– This week's trivia question: Who are the only two Blue Jays' first-round picks to play more than 1,000 games for the club? Please provide your answer in the "Comments" section below. Please note: I'm going to hold off awarding prizes until after the COVID-19 pandemic. Hope you understand.
– The answer to last week's trivia question (Who was the first Canadian pitcher to toe the rubber for the Blue Jays in a regular season game?) was Denis Boucher (Lachine, Que.) on April 12, 1991.
1977 MLB Draft, 1982 MLB draft, Bill Gullickson, Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame, Dalton Pompey, David Wells, end racism, Ernie Whitt, Fergie Jenkins, first NL win, first win at SkyDome, Fredericton, George Selkirk, Harold Baines, Jesse Barfield, Jimmy Key, John Cerutti, Matt Stairs, Max Grant, Montreal Expos, New Brunswick, New York Yankees, Pat Borders, Paul Molitor, Paul Quantrill, Philadelphia Phillies, released, Toronto Blue Jays, walk-off home run

Tom Fagner says:
How about Lloyd Moseby and Vernon Wells?
Great read Kevin – taking nothing away from Gullickson's fine career but a big OUCH to the Expos missing out on Molitor. Take care.
You're correct, Tom. Great work! I thought Shannon Stewart may have also played 1,000 games with the Blue Jays, but he played 907. Thank you again for your support. Hope you are well.
Thanks for another interesting Sunday morning Canadian baseball blog.
David Watson says:
I was at university at the same time as Brent Grant. He and his brother Peter both played hockey for St. Thomas University, and I worked for the campus radio station and broadcast their games. They were both great guys, and Brent was the team's leading scorer. (Yes, it's a small province we have.) Some good athletic genes there.
Thanks, for sharing this, David. That's a great story. I didn't know any of that. Thank you again.
Great to see Stairs giving back.
White makes the Randy Johnson trade a bit more manageable.
So excited for the draft this week Kevin. Can't wait to read all your stories
Thanks for the kind words and support, Scott.

Yale-NUS College picks new president Tan Tai Yong
Historian and former NMP plans to enhance major programmes, build culture of trust
Prof Tan, who is currently the college's executive vice-president for academic affairs, was dean of NUS' Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences from 2004 to 2009.ST PHOTO: JOYCE FANG

Historian Tan Tai Yong has been named the new president of the Yale-NUS College, the college announced yesterday.
Prof Tan, 56, who is currently the college's executive vice-president for academic affairs, will assume office on July 1. He will take over from current president Pericles Lewis, who has helmed the liberal arts college - a collaboration between Yale University and the National University of Singapore (NUS) - since its establishment in 2011.
Yale-NUS' governing board met here yesterday and unanimously elected Prof Tan following an "extensive global search" which took seven months, and considered 80 to 100 initial candidates.
In his current role, Prof Tan, a former nominated Member of Parliament, worked with Yale-NUS students, staff and faculty to improve the college's academic programmes and educational experience.
He holds a doctorate in history from the University of Cambridge and taught at NUS before joining Yale-NUS in 2014. He was dean of NUS' Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences from 2004 to 2009 and vice-provost for student life from 2010 to 2014.
NUS president Tan Chorh Chuan, who helped lead the search for Yale-NUS' new president, said: "In Tai Yong, I think we find somebody really experienced, with the knowledge, with the ability, but also with the deep passion, the deep commitment to this form of education."
What we want to build is a culture of trust... Our students must believe that we have their welfare at heart.
PROF TAN TAI YONG, who will assume office on July 1.
Yale University president Peter Salovey said his institution and Yale-NUS plan to strengthen links. For instance, more Yale-NUS students will spend a semester at Yale in New Haven, Connecticut.
Currently, there are 24 slots per year. Yale-NUS has a student body of more than 700.
Prof Tan said he plans to review all the college's major programmes to enhance, refine and possibly expand some of them.
Since taking in its first students in 2013, Yale-NUS has not been without controversy. Last year, the college rejected a student's call for Professor Chan Heng Chee to step down from the college's governing board after she spoke in defence of why Singapore maintains a law that criminalises sex between men.
Last month, it had to engage some students who were irked by a change in policy on the use of college space that they said occurred without their input.
With regard to college-student communication, Prof Tan acknowledged it was "an area... we want to improve", and said the university will broaden its existing channels while creating a more structured system to ensure effective dialogue.
"What we want to build is a culture of trust," he said. "Our students must believe that we have their welfare at heart."

A quick overview of GParted Live.
Linux.com checks out lightweight LiveCDs useful for all kinds of system modification and recovery needs.
Things go wrong. Hard disks fail and whole servers crash. Luckily, many Linux-based distributions are available to help systems administrators handle minor catastrophes. We looked at four of the most portable, all of which fit on a 210MB mini CD — SliTaz, Parted Magic, GParted, and RIPLinuX.
LinuxHaxor.net has a list of useful tasks for the GParted LiveCD.
This week's DistroWatch Weekly compares two popular, lightweight LiveCDs aimed at partition management.
Linux.com has instructions for backing up partitions using GParted-Clonezilla.
Backing up partitions and hard disks sounds like work — until youve tried Clonezilla. With Clonezilla you can clone and duplicate partitions of various formats and disks of various sizes locally or over the network. Even more impressive is the fact that you can do all this without typing complicated commands. And since Clonezilla is available as part of the GParted-Clonezilla live CD, you dont even have to install it.
Blogcritics.org goes over repartition a hard drive with the GParted LiveCD.
The GParted project has released a LiveCD which allows Ghost-like efficient disk and partition imaging over a network.
UnlikePartimage or ntfsclone, which only for partitions. Clonezilla, containing some other programs, can save and restore not only partitions, but also a whole disk.
Unlike G4U or G4L, in Clonezilla, if file system is supported, only used blocks in harddisk are saved and restored. This increase the clone efficiency.
Computeract!ve has an overview of GParted.
PC Advisor details the steps needed to setup a computer to dual boot Windows XP and Vista. The tool used is the GParted LiveCD.
If you don't have a partition manager, download an ISO image of the GParted Live CD from gparted.sourceforge.net and burn a CD from it. This is a free partition manager based on Linux and an essential addition to any serious PC user's toolkit.
APC Magazine includes some information on WinPE and the GParted LiveCD in their instructions on dual booting Windows XP and Vista.
Announced in the latest DistroWatch Weekly, the latest GParted LiveCD has added support for moving partitions.
The State has a quick introduction to GParted.
IT Week mentions the new GParted LiveCD in a short article.
GParted LiveCD 0.2.5-1 A Must Have Disc!
ReviewLinux.Com reviews GParted LiveCD 0.2.5-1. Lots of screenshots to go with the review.
OSDir.com has screenshots of the Partition Magic replacement GParted LiveCD.
Linux.com reviews the extremely useful GParted LiveCD.
Need a way to resize NTFS partitions, mirror disk images, or otherwise muck about with disk partitions — and don't want to use a proprietary package like Partition Magic? If so, the GNOME Partition Editor (GParted) is an excellent open source tool for the task. The GParted team released the GParted live CD version 0.2.4-2 this month, so I decided it was a good time to take GParted for a spin.

Trump, in law and order speech, calls for African-American support

U.S. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on Tuesday delivered his most aggressive call yet to woo African-American voters, vowing to restore law and order, only days after a fatal police shooting of a black man sparked more street violence.
Speaking a few miles from Milwaukee, which was rocked by weekend riots, Trump accused his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton of "bigotry" and vowed to protect the jobs of minorities from immigrants. Trump has been repeatedly called a "bigot" by his Democratic opponents.
"I'm asking for the vote for every African-American citizen struggling in our society today who wants a different and much better future," Trump said.
"Jobs, safety, opportunity, fair and equal representation: We reject the bigotry of Hillary Clinton which panders to, and talks down to, communities of color and sees them only as votes - that's all they care about - not as individual human beings worthy of a better future."
Earlier, Trump held three events in Milwaukee, a city still reeling from violent protests after the death of Sylville Smith, 23. Authorities said Smith was stopped for acting suspiciously and was shot by police because he was carrying an illegal handgun and refused orders to drop it.
Trump encountered only a handful of peaceful protesters while in the city, including some at a closed fundraiser.
He held a brief meeting with veterans and law enforcement, including Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke and Inspector Edward Bailey. But news media representatives were escorted out and not permitted to hear the discussions.
Are Trump and GOP on the same page?

Clarke, who is black and spoke at last month's Republican National Convention, has criticized the protests, writing in an opinion piece for The Hill that they were "a collapse of the social order, where tribal behavior leads to reacting to circumstances instead of waiting for facts to emerge."
Trump also taped a town hall meeting with Fox News, in which he blamed President Barack Obama for what he sees as hostility toward police. "He has not been good to the police, simply, and the police are not big fans of his," Trump said.
Trump traveled 45 minutes outside of Milwaukee, which is 40 percent black, to deliver his appeal to African-American voters in the suburb of West Bend, Wisconsin, a community that is 95 percent white. He spoke before an almost entirely white audience.
"A vote for her (Clinton) is a vote for another generation of poverty, high crime and lost opportunities," Trump said. "Crime and violence is an attack on the poor and it will never be accepted in a Trump administration."
Clinton won the Democratic nomination in part thanks to her large victory margins among minorities in nearly every state, including overwhelming support from African-Americans in the South.
"With each passing Trump attack, it becomes clearer that his strategy is just to say about Hillary Clinton what's true of himself," Clinton spokeswoman Jennifer Palmieri said.
"When people started saying he was temperamentally unfit, he called Hillary the same. When his ties to the Kremlin came under scrutiny, he absurdly claimed that Hillary was the one who was too close to Putin.
"Now he's accusing her of bigoted remarks - we think the American people will know which candidate is guilty of the charge."
Trump also took aim at Clinton's past acceptance of large speaking fees, saying he would force top administration officials to sign a pledge not to accept speaking fees from corporations with registered lobbyists or foreign countries for five years after leaving office.
Trump, Clinton's clashing economic plans
Police violence against African-Americans has set off intermittent, sometimes violent protests in the past two years, igniting a national debate over race and policing in the United States and giving rise to the Black Lives Matter movement.
Trump said critics of the police "share in the responsibility for the unrest in Milwaukee and other places in our country."
"The war on our police must end and it must end now," Trump said. "The war on police is a war against all peaceful citizens."
The shooting of Smith was likely justified, Trump argued in an interview with Fox News on Tuesday morning.
"But the gun was pointed at his (a police officer's) head, supposedly ready to be fired. Who can have a problem with that? That's what the narrative is," Trump said. "Maybe it's not true. If it is true, people shouldn't be rioting."
Officials from the Office of Director of National Intelligence are expected to give Trump a briefing on national security issues this week, an adviser to Trump and a source familiar with the matter said on Tuesday.
Presidential candidates are entitled to a briefing of classified information after formally securing the nomination, which Trump did last month. Hillary Clinton, Trump's Democratic rival for the Nov. 8 election, is also entitled to receive a briefing if she requests one.
Democrats have criticized Trump's positions on foreign policy and national security, besides some freewheeling remarks. Democratic President Barack Obama has called Trump "unfit" for the presidency and this month warned the Republican candidate that briefing information must be kept secret.

Question Video: Reading Pictograms Where Each Picture Stands for 10 Mathematics
The picture graph shows how many people played sports last weekend. How many people went cycling? How many people went swimming? How many more people played football than hockey?
This picture graph shows us how many people played sports last weekend. The graph has four categories or four different types of sport: swimming, football, cycling, and hockey. We have to answer three different questions about the information shown in the picture graph. The first question asks us how many people went cycling. This row shows the number of people who went cycling, and we can see three pink circles. The key tells us that each pink circle is worth 10 people, so we need to count in tens — 10, 20, 30. 30 people went cycling. Each circle is worth 10 people. Three tens are 30.
The second question asks us how many people went swimming. There are two and a half pink circles. If each pink circle is worth 10 people, then half a pink circle is worth half of 10. Half of 10 is five. One circle is worth 10 people; half a circle is worth five people. And let's count how many people went swimming. 10, 20, and five more makes 25. 25 people went swimming.
The final part of the question asks us how many more people played football than hockey. We need to compare the number of people who played football with the number of people who played hockey. The football category has five circles. We know that each circle is worth 10 people. Let's count in tens five times. 10, 20, 30, 40, 50. 50 children played football. Now let's count the number of children who played hockey. 10, 20, 30, 40, and half a circle makes five. 40 and five is 45.
To find out how many more people played football than hockey, we need to find the difference between 50 and 45. 45 is five less than 50. The difference between 50 and 45 is five. Five more people played football than hockey. 30 people went cycling, 25 people went swimming, and five more people played football than hockey.

➤ 'I would never have dreamed of asking her about the rumours until she goaded me into it'
Dusty Springfield in 1970: "To say I'm promiscuous is a bit of bravado on my part"
With Ray Connolly's permission, Shapers of the 80s is pleased to republish one of his landmark interviews from 1970 in which the chart-topping singer Dusty Springfield admitted to being "bisexual". Earlier this summer 2017 Ray recalled highlights from his
50-year career with this insight into how he prepared for their meeting. The original interview follows on
◼ DUSTY SPRINGFIELD WAS THEN, AND REMAINS, one of my favourite singers, one of the true witty originals of the Sixties with a beautiful voice. Changes in attitudes towards sex and marriage came up time and again in interviews back then. But it was Dusty Springfield, popularly thought of then as the sunny British girl next door with the voice of pure honey, who surprised most of all, when, for some reason, she decided to come out to me about being bisexual.
Ray Connolly: former Evening Standard columnist, novelist, script-writer for TV, radio and film
I'd heard the gossip about her, as had everyone else who wrote about entertainment in those days. But would never have dreamed of asking her about the rumours until she goaded me into it. "There's something else you should ask me now. I know you've heard the rumours. Go on, ask me," she kept saying. So I did.
Her answer was fulsome [as you'll read in the interview below]. "I know that I'm as perfectly capable of being swayed by a girl as by a boy. . . I'm promiscuous. Not often, but when I am, I really am. . . I don't mean that I leap into bed with someone every night, but my affections are easily swayed and I can be very unfaithful. . . The truth is, I'm easily flattered by people's attentions and after a couple of vodkas I'm even more flattered."
Today such self-revelations by a popular woman star would surprise, but no more. But in 1970 such talk could have been self-destructive. As we lived near each other I drove Dusty home after the interview during which she mused jokily that what she'd just told me "might put the final seal" on her doom. But she'd made her mind up. She wanted me to write it – although she couldn't quite bring herself to say that she was a lesbian.
I was a huge fan and liked her and, worried that she might be damaging her career, I hid the quotes inside a long article under the headline Dusty At Thirty. She phoned when the article was published, happy with the result – although I heard later that her manager had had a fit. She was a brave, clever woman who was years ahead of her time, and I just happened to be the medium through which she let the public know a little more, if not everything, about her sexuality.
1970 ➤ DUSTY SPRINGFIELD AT 30
Ray Connolly's original interview for the London Evening Standard, published in September 1970, the year Dusty released her sixth studio album titled appropriately A Brand New Me
◼ DUSTY SPRINGFIELD LOOKS AS THOUGH she's playing at doctor-during-consulting-hours sitting in a white-walled room at Philips Records, meeting the all and sundry members of the musical press.
I've never met her before, and the first thing she says is: "You're sinister. Would you mind if I go to the loo before we start?" And then with her tassles tinkling like summer 1967, she goes off down the corridor in a Mini-Ha-Ha embroidered suit, and wearing a great chunk of fancy iron and brass-work around her neck which looks like something she might have pinched off a Russian Orthodox altar.
She's 30 and hasn't really had a big hit record for some considerable time. It's a cliché but it's true. Pop does have an awful lot of obsolescence hanging over it. She's still singing as well as ever, dreamy and romantic, and I like her very much, but the public aren't buying her records in the volume they used to. Her new one is called How Can I Be Sure? and was originally a hit in America for the Rascals. She'll be surprised if it's a hit for her in Britain.
Album release of 1970: A Brand New Me
"That," she says, "comes from a backlog of doubts in myself because the last few records have gone wrong. And I'm always a bit surprised to sell records anyway.
"It would be a souring experience if I were not to have any more hits, but I would survive. It would be a test of character for me. I very seldom think about it, but if it did happen I'd probably get out unless I could find some other direction to go in. I don't particularly want to be a cabaret type of entertainer. Whether or not I could be defeated into accepting that type of existence I don't know."
She's plumper than I'd expected ("I'm nine stone and I should be eight-two or eight-four. But I'm too lazy to bother about slimming"), and amazingly she still apparently buys her eyelashes by the yard, and mascara by the hundredweight. Her eyes aren't as black as they were, she insists, looking short-sightedly through a pinkish coloured Perspex ruler at me.
"This," she squints, "is the best colour in the world. It's really erotic. I supposed I've got very erotic tastes. I like purple and magenta and all the tarty colours. I don't wear them any more. I should go back to them because I've become very sedate. I'm all talk and no action. I've been very un-newsworthy recently. Haven't been throwing any custard pies at anyone or anything."
She was brought up a Catholic but never goes to Mass now. "It's about six years since I made my Easter Duties. My mother's going to love this. I still think that because I don't go to confession I'm going to go to hell but I haven't really done anything evil. I'm just lazy and self-indulgent."
She's a strange lady of contradictions. She wants me to send her a copy of an old Maureen Cleave article but she won't give me her address. She never gives it, she insists, and then in the next breath tells me. She has a pretty, lumpy little face which looks best when she smiles. I notice she has a big shiny grey filling in her pre-molar bottom left. Her hair is the colour of dried leaves.
I think she's a bit sad, but she says no, not at all. The last thing she wants is to be pitied. Only occasionally, when she needs someone to lean on is she lonely. Much of the time she shares her house with songwriter/painter Norma Tanega. She is concerned that whatever I may ask her will make her sound conceited. So I suggest that she tells me her little vices, and with an enthusiasm which is almost self-destructive, she sets about it, giggling from time to time at her own ability to rattle me.
"Well, I don't pick my nose, but I burp like everyone else. I don't cut my toe nails, but I pull at them and tear them off. And I'm promiscuous. Not often, but when I am, I really am. I'm not a nymphomaniac. In fact, I could do with a lot more action really. I think my laziness even spreads so far.
"It's an effort to be promiscuous. I don't mean that I leap into bed with someone special every night, but my affections are easily swayed and I can be very unfaithful. It's fun while it's happening, but it's not fun afterwards because I'm filled with self-recriminations. The truth is I'm just very easily flattered by people's attentions, and after a couple of vodkas I'm even more flattered."
She's giggling a lot now. "I suppose to say I'm promiscuous is a bit of bravado on my part. I think it's more in thought than in action. I've been that way ever since I discovered the meaning of the word. I used to go to confession and tell all my impure thoughts."
Suddenly she becomes serious again, and begins to space her words out carefully and thoughtfully. "There's one thing that's always annoyed me – and I'm going to get into something nasty here. But I've got to say it, because so many other people say I'm bent, and I've heard it so many times that I've almost learned to accept it.
"I don't go leaping around to all the gay clubs but I can be very flattered. Girls run after me a lot and it doesn't upset me. It upsets me when people insinuate things that aren't true. I couldn't stand to be thought of as a big butch lady. But I know that I'm as perfectly capable of being swayed by a girl as by a boy. More and more people feel that way and I don't see why I shouldn't.
"There was someone on television the other night who admitted that he swings either way. I suppose he could afford to say it, but I, being a pop singer, shouldn't even admit that I might think that way. But if the occasion arose I don't see why I shouldn't.
"And yet, I get such a charge out of walking down a street and having a guy who's digging the road give me a whistle. This business makes me feel very unwomanly sometimes and I love to be admired just for being a woman. I don't feel masculine. If I did I'd have more drive. But being a woman is very precious to me, and that's probably why I could never get mixed up in a gay scene because it would be bound to undermine my sense of being a woman.
"I've had this reputation for years, but I don't know how I got it. I'm always hearing that I've been to this gay club and that gay club. But I haven't. I sometimes wonder if it would be nice to live up to my reputation.
"I got raided the other day by the police. But they didn't find any drugs. I've hardly ever smoked as a matter of fact. As it happens I think I know who tipped them off, and it relates to what I've been saying. There was a rather hysterical lady who was upset because I didn't fancy her. I think it was her."
She is not involved with anyone at the moment, and I wonder if she fears that she may never have a family.
"I don't know whether I want children or not," she says. "The urge to reproduce is always there, of course, but then I think 'what for?' I probably wouldn't be a terribly good mother. It would be great spasmodic moods of affection which don't last and that wouldn't be very stable. I would like children psychologically and physically, although there's something which stops me from just reproducing. But there has to be something more than what I do. There just has to be something more for me."
I offer to take her home and out we go through the doors past the Philips records executives who smile and wave goodbye to their lady star in great hearty fashion.
"D'you realise," she laughs, "what I've just said could put the final seal to my doom. I don't know, though. I might attract a whole new audience."

James Bond not simply goes toward class, but additionally he'd sit within the front row and participate actively in class discussions. Just as inside a lyric, the poet pours out his whole heart delighting within the passing mood with the moment, therefore the literary English essay writing carries a pre-eminently subjective character.

Oughtred, William
Oughtred, William, an eminent English divine, noted especially as a mathematician, was born at Eton, Buckinghamshire, in 1573. Being educated at Eton as a foundation- scholar, or "colleger," he was elected thence, in 1592, to King's College, Cambridge, of which in regular course he was admitted perpetual-fellow. He largely cultivated classical learning, as the elegant Latinity of some of his works indicates; but he applied himself chiefly to the study of mathematics. While yet an undergraduate he invented An Easy Method of Geometrical Dialling, which, though not given to the public until 1647, was then immediately translated from English into Latin by Christopher Wren, at that time a gentleman-commoner of Wadham College, Oxford. Oughtred took his degree of B.A. in 1596, and that of M.A. in 1599. In 1600 he projected a horizontal instrument delineating dials upon any kind of plane, and for working most questions which could be performed by the globe. In 1603, or thereabout, Oughtred was ordained priest, and presented to the living of Aldbury, near Guildford, in Surrey, upon which appointment he left the university and resided upon his living. He continued his mathematical purstits, but at the same time distinguished himself by the faithful discharge of his pastoral duties. The mathematical sciences were to him "the more than Elysian fields," and his house was continually filled with young gentlemen who came thither for instruction. He probably wrote his Treatise of Trigonometry about 1614; and in pursuing the same subject he invented, not many years afterwards, an instrument called The Circles of Proportion. 'All such problems in arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, and navigation as depended upon simple and compound proportion might be solved by its aid; and it was the first sliding rule that was projected for those uses, as well as that of gauging. In 1628 he was engaged by the earl of Arundel as tutor to his son, lord William Howard whose patronage of science has much to do with the history of its progress during the 17th century. For the use of his pupil Oughtred published, in 1631, Arithmetices in numeris et speciebus inzstitutio, quae turn logisticae tum analytiae, atque totius mathematicae clavis est. This manual contained so many new and excellent theorems, both in algebra and geometry, that it was universally esteemed; and the general plan of it has since been followed by the best authors on the subject. Oughtred was, in 1646, in danger of sequestration by the committee for plundering ministers, and several articles sufficient to have sequestered him were sworn against him. But William Lilly, the celebrated astrologer, appealed to Sir Bulstrode Whitelocke and all his old friends, and they appeared in such numbers in his behalf on the day of hearing that he was cleared by the majority, though the chairman and many other Presbyterian ministers were active against him. He sometimes amused himself with physical sports, and was sprightly at the age of eighty. Fuller (Worthies, 1:145) says that "this aged Simeon had a strong persuasion that before his death he should behold Christ's anointed restored to the throne, which he did to his incredible joy, and then had his 'dimittis' out of this mortal life Jan. 30, 1660." According to Collier (Dictionary), Oughtred died about the beginning of May, 1660, having expired in an ecstasy of joy upon hearing the news of the vote at Westminster which passed for the restoration of Charles II. David Lloyd says that "Oughtred was as facetious in Greek and Latin as solid in arithmetic, geometry, and the sphere of all measures, music, etc.; exact in his style as in his judgment, handling his tube and other instruments at eighty as steadily as others did at thirty — owing this, as he said, to temperance and archery; principling his people with plain and solid truths, as he did the world with great and useful arts; advancing new inventions in all things but religion, which, in its old order and decency, he maintained secure in his privacy, prudence, meekness, simplicity, resolution, patience, and contentment." He had one son, whom he put an apprentice to a watchmaker, and for whose use he wrote a book of instructions in that art. He left besides a great number of papers upon mathematical subjects; and in most of his Greek and Latin mathematical books were found notes in his own handwriting, with an abridgment of almost all the propositions and demonstrations. These books came into the museum of William Jones, F.R.S., and with the manuscripts passed into the hands of Sir Charles Scarborough. Such of the latter as were found suitable for publication were printed at Oxford in 1676, under the title Opuscula Mathematica hactenus inedita. Many of Oughtred's MSS. are in the library of the earl of Macclesfield. See Biog. Dict.; Allibone, Dict. of Brit. and Amer. Authors; Engl. Cyclop.
