I was looking around for KHL "career" stats, ie the combined stats from the first two season. The only thing I could find was the KHL totals on the player pages on khl.ru, and even there only on the Russian version. So I made a scripts that downloads all the player pages and collects the career stats from there. I will process that data and post some of the results here over the next few days.
Here are the leaders in goals and assists separately. There are 695 players with at least 1 goal, 750 with at least 1 assist and 768 with at least 1 point.
I'm wondering, how many players in the KHL still haven't missed a single game.
Among Dinamo Riga's players there's only one - Martins Cipulis, who, consequently, has 115 consecutive games played.
My stats so far refer only to the regular-seasons. I don't know how it looks like when the play-offs are included. I currently don't have that data and it would be more complex to figure out as one would have to compare a players GP number to the number of games that his team(s) played during the play-offs.
Thanks for doing this! I always wanted something like this for the KHL.
And here are the basic stats for the goalies, for now I do wins and shutouts. The khl.ru player pages list 123 goalies, of which 92 have played in at least 1 game. Vasily Koshechkin has the most games with 92.
PS: If you spot any wrong flag, please tell me (or change it yourself, if that is possible). The default is the Russian flag and I just change whatever "sounds non-Russian".

So, with a little assistance of eliteprospects.com, I manually checked the playoff stats for these 15 players. Only one of them(Guskov) didn't play all playoff games for his team(Lokomotiv), while Kokarev's MVD and Koledaev's Novokuznetsk were left out of them.
As a result, this is the current list of players with the most consecutive games in the KHL.
Clever idea, GX! Of course, 15 can be checked manually.
Ok, here is one last piece of stat for today: Robert Esche is the scoring leader among goalies with 4 assists.
More tomorrow. I will certainly do penalty minutes. (Although the winner there is obvious...). What else would make sense and is interesting?
Rookies, their stats for example.
You can involve players younger than maybe 20 years, last season and this one.
Wildboar, excellent thread. I changed a couple of flags and fixed a couple of spellings of foreign players.
Thanks for the feedback, guys! Funny that so many foreign player names are misspelled. I took them from en.khl.ru without verifying the correctness. It seemed that they have manually transliterated at least some of the names, so that at least things like Yaromir Yagr disappeared. But obviously the English names are still a problem.
would allow to extract game records (most points etc) and streaks. So if I have time, I think I should improve my scripts a bit to extract even more data. Further ideas would be franchise leaders for each team and leaders by nationality.

I finally found some time to do the play-off career stats. Here is the first bit: the top scorers. 462 skaters have played in at least one play-off game, 332 of them scored at least 1 point.
Last edited by wildboar; 25-05-2010 at 13:17.
And here are the goal and assist scoring leaders. 229 players have scored at least 1 goal and 284 at least 1 assist.
Well, surprise, surprise, the play-off PIM leaders are not from that country, and that team never qualified for the play-offs, so there are other players at the top. 382 players have received penalty minutes in the KHL play-offs.
Here are the goalie stats. 42 goalies have played in at least one play-off game. Only 15 of them recorded more than one win. There are also 15 players that have recorded at least one shutout.
This is the updated list for the most consecutive games played. The only one, which falls out from the list, is Alexei Zhitnik, who didn't play a game for Spartak in the playoffs.
Gennady Churilov has just won the "Iron Man Award" for the most games in the last 3 years - 221.
I am trying to update the career stats on about a monthly basis, so here is the update for October. These stats are only from the regular season.
We now have 991 players (skaters) with at least 1 game played. That means 94 new players have played this season. 847 have scored at least one point, which means 79 new scorers. 13 players have now reached the "milestone" of 100 points, the latest addition being Jaromir Jagr.
756 players have now scored at least 1 goal (61 more than at the end of last season) and 822 have now scored at least 1 assist (that is 72 new ones).
The current leader in number of KHL games played is Peter Podhradsky with 125. But this stat is not fair, because not all teams have played the same number of games.
I noticed you have also points per game column. Could you please post the top 10 for them, taking out players with, for example, less than 20 games played?
Does anybody know where to find career stats of KHL players?
It would be very interesting to follow milestones and current leaders in some categories.
some milestones are written by Zhidkov in his blog at khl.ru as I know.
Time for a little career stats update.
More than 1000 skaters have now played a KHL game, 1009 to be precise. 784 scored at least one goal, 845 at least one assist, and 867 at least one point.
Peter Podhradsky and Anton But are the players with the most games, both with 144 games.
There are now 17 players in the "100 points club" and Sergei Mozyakin is the first player in the "100 assists club".

And here is the first goalie career stats update in the new season. There are now 105 goalies with a KHL game, that is only 13 more than at the end of the previous season.
Finally, I have the career stats after the completion of the third KHL regular season. Here are the top 20 scorers, other tables will follow soon. Interestingly, Patrick Thoresen, who played only 2 seasons, is already number 14 on the list.
Last edited by wildboar; 06-04-2011 at 13:30. Reason: because of a bug, the Czech players were missing.
Since the KHK now also lists the nationality of (almost) every player, I made a list with the top scorers from every country. Of course, there can now be discussions of the nationalities of certain players, but I just took what the KHL lists.
The Dane played 18 rgular season and 6 play-off games for CSKA in 2008-09.
Dmitrij*Kotschnew isn't Russian. He was born in Kazachstan and plays internationally for Germany.
He holds at least two passports of which one is Russian. Since he goes in KHL by his Russian passport he is seen by the league as Russian and import rule doesn't apply to him even thou he plays internationally for Germany. The same applies for Lewandowski, Koval and some other players who play for other national teams, but are seen by the league as Russians.
One thing is clear. Kotschnew has a Russian and a German passport. Although he was born in Kazakhstan his family comes from Russia. But sometimes its a bit weird with passports of former soviet countries. Maybe he has 3 passports but at least the two I mentioned and thats of course why the KHL says he is Russian because you dont have to give him a foreigner spot in your team).
To the scoring: 50 players have scored 100 KHL points. The first 10 are listed below. The "GP" columns informs about the number of games played in order to reach the milestone.
So far, only 3 players have scored 200 points and more. Note that Radulov needed only 75 games for the second 100 points and Mozyakin only 77.

A last milestone table before the new season starts: 100 assists. Already 6 players have reached this mark, but nobody has yet scored 100 KHL goals.
but this is incliding his play-off goals. For regular season he has 91 goal so far.
So, I thought I could finally update the most consecutive games list. :) Or, better known as, "players who haven't missed a single game list", because, for example, Mikelis Redlihs recently played his 200th straight game and is ahead of Nikitenko, but missed a game in '08-'09.
The list has reduced from 13 to just 4 players. Interestingly, both Mozyakin and Glinkin missed one single game during the '10-'11 season.
P.S. Both Kokarev and Nikitenko have missed some games this season, so there are no other players that haven't missed a single game since '08-'09.
I suppose you will be be updating them during the summer, when the season's over?
I have now downloaded the game logs including the last season, so I am able to create the milestone data again. I will present it here over the next few hours/days.
There are now 1321 players with at least one KHL game.
494 players have played at least 100 games (96 new in last season).
166 players have played at least 200 games (144 new in last season).

Lawrence Dallman
Humanities Teaching Fellow
dallman@uchicago.edu
Stuart 224
Office Hours: Winter Quarter: by appointment
PhD, University of Chicago, 2021; BA, Montana State University, 2014
Research Interests: 19th- and 20th-Century Continental Philosophy, Epistemology, Metaphilosophy, Kant, History of Analytic Philosophy, Philosophy of Literature
Lawrence Dallman received his PhD in philosophy from the University of Chicago, and received BAs in both philosophy and English from Montana State University. His work concerns 19th- and 20th-century continental philosophy, especially focusing on core issues in epistemology and metaphilosophy. In his dissertation, Lawrence reconstructs Karl Marx's early reflections on philosophical method, arguing that they sketch a sophisticated form of methodological naturalism with important relevance for contemporary metaphilosophical debates. Lawrence is also interested in Kant, the history of analytic philosophy (especially. Wilfrid Sellars), and the philosophy of literature.
PHIL 28710 Introduction to Nietzsche
In this course, we will examine the philosophical writings of Friedrich Nietzsche, with the aim of arriving at a cursory overview of his thought. We will take as our guiding thread a paradox concerning the value of truth that arises in the course of Nietzsche's On the Genealogy of Morality: when, as in scientific inquiry, we take it as a rule that we should always seek the truth, we presuppose that we are the kind of creatures to whom rules can apply (i.e. morally responsible persons); but scientific inquiry, in its tendency to disenchant the world and subvert our traditional self-understanding, threatens to undermine this idea. What if truth-seeking drives us to the conclusion that we are not, in fact, morally responsible persons? What then of truth? All texts will be read in English translation.
PHIL 22002 Introduction to Philosophy
Topic: What Is the Human Being?
The philosopher Immanuel Kant claims (famously) that philosophy boils down to three questions: What can I know? What ought I to do? What may I hope? He also suggests, however, that these three questions reduce, at bottom, to a fourth: What is the human being? Philosophy, then, is the study of what it is to be a human being. In this general introduction to philosophy, we will examine a variety of efforts made by philosophers, both contemporary and historical, to answer Kant's three questions: What can I know? What ought I to do? What may I hope? We will do this always with an eye to how these efforts contribute to answering Kant's broader question: What is the human being? Possible topics of discussion include the nature of knowledge, the limits of science, whether there are objective moral truths, whether we are free, the nature of artistic beauty, whether we should trust our gut instincts, and whether there is progress in culture.
PHIL 22503 Truth and Ideology
There has been significant concern, in recent years, about the threat of "fake news" and "disinformation." Most of this discussion has concerned deliberate lies told for political reasons. Those who spread fake news, however, rarely do so deliberately; many believe what they say, however obvious the falsehood of their claims may seem to outsiders. Beliefs of this sort are ideological in nature. Philosophers have studied the social phenomenon of ideology for hundreds of years. In this course, we will examine a number of historical (e.g. Marx, Engels, Lenin, Adorno, Gramsci, Althusser) and contemporary (e.g. Haslanger, Stanley, Honneth, Jaeggi, Railton, Leiter) accounts of ideology. In doing so, we will try to come to terms with the reality of ideology: What is it? How does it relate to truth? Can it be avoided? If so, how? All texts will be read in English translation. (A)
PHIL 29200-02 Junior Tutorial
Topic: Marx and Philosophy. Karl Marx is at once an incisive philosophical thinker, and a powerful critic of the whole enterprise of philosophy. In this course, we will investigate Marx's critique of philosophy. In particular, we will do so with an eye to the implications such a critique may have for philosophy as it exists today. That is, we will ask what conclusions can be drawn within philosophy, and about philosophy, from Marxian premises. This will require careful examination of key works by Marx, as well as by Hegel, Feuerbach, and Engels. It will also involve reflection on central disputes in contemporary theoretical philosophy, including the mind-body problem, the problem of knowledge, and the naturalism/anti-naturalism dispute.
Meets with Jr/Sr section. Prerequisite: Open only to intensive-track majors. No more than two tutorials may be used to meet program requirements.

My Home on 48th Street
by Susan E. Meyer
My father, Ernest L. Meyer, resigned from his work as a newspaper columnist for the New York Post in 1940, because he was not permitted to write his personal opinions about the Second World War. The Post couldn't fire him because doing so would infuriate union members who knew that my father and Heywood Hale Broun helped lead the formation of the Newspaper Guild. Instead, the editors humiliated my father by rewriting his articles or placing them within the back pages of the newspaper where very few readers would able to find them. Leaving the Post, my father chose to leave New York City as well.
I was about three months old when my parents moved to a rural section in Connecticut, where they lived on the paltry income my mother earned as a public school teacher and my father earned from the articles he wrote for progressive magazines. As the War was beginning to wind down, my father got a night job as telegraph editor of The Daily News and the family moved back into the City. At first, during the day—while my brother Karl was in school, my mother was teaching, and my father was sleeping off the late hours of his job—I was cared for by a nanny. This arrangement didn't last very long. One day the nanny was in a bad mood and told me if I didn't behave she would suck me up in the vacuum cleaner. By the time my mother came home that afternoon I was wailing in fear. She fired the nanny instantly. After this incident, knowing how difficult it was to hire good help, my parents decided I would be better off living with my grandparents in Sunnyside, Queens.
Several years earlier, my mother discovered Sunnyside, one of the first planned communities in the United States. The low-cost housing that attracted working-class immigrants, socialists, and artists during the '20s and '30s was in a safe neighborhood and everything was within walking distance of their home: my nursery school on 49th Avenue, the playground called Sunnyside Gardens, and the elementary school, P.S. 150, which I attended until the fourth grade. Throughout the neighborhood and for blocks and blocks, red-brick, two- and three-story attached houses circled well planted inner courtyards. Thanks to land-marking, Sunnyside looks pretty much today as it did when I was a child living with my grandparents.
Like many of the other houses in the area, the two-story building where my grandparents (the Narefskys) lived, 40-31 48th Street near Skillman Avenue, was designed for four apartments. The main entrance was through the courtyard. Two apartments stood to the left and to the right at the base of a stairway. We lived in the apartment to the left on the ground floor, which opened to the living room. On the second floor just above us my two cousins, Dorothy (nick-named Boo-Boo) and Tony, lived with their parents—my uncle, Solly and his wife Maddie. All the ground floor apartments faced an alley, where cars and trucks could pass through (and where—in the winter—we could fly on our sleds in the snow). From the alley, two exterior flights of stairs led to the kitchen entrance.
My grandparents' apartment was essentially a square divided into four main rooms, the kitchen, living room, and two bedrooms. My grandfather slept alone in one bedroom, huffing under an oxygen tent. (If he had the strength, he might emerge for meals. Occasionally he played checkers with me and seemed to take great pleasure in winning every time by cheating.)
I slept on a foldout cot in my grandmother's bedroom. On Monday nights I was permitted to listen to Baby Snooks at 8:30 on the Philco radio placed at the side of my cot, but otherwise my grandmother strictly enforced my bedtime. Granma slept on the opposite side of the bedroom, in a full bed she shared with my aunt, Tibel (pronounced Tie-bell), or with my mother if one of them chose to stay the night. I didn't mind that it was crowded in the bedroom because I was lonesome and enjoyed the commotion of these overnight visits. Tibie, especially, brought with her exciting stories about her boyfriends and the glamorous jazz singers she met at her job as publicist at the Café Society. She didn't have an apartment of her own and would sleep in Sunnyside, Manhattan, or with a boyfriend, always filled with tales to tell.
On Wednesday nights, after her day of teaching nine-year-olds in the fourth grade, my mother routinely came to Sunnyside to visit her parents and to spend time with me. (Since my father worked at night, he was never able to come with Mom.) Though she must have been tired at the end of the day, Mom took time to teach me to write and draw pictures. In fact, I still have the notebook with these early lessons spelled out.
As I recall, I was the only kid in the neighborhood to live with immigrants who didn't speak English well. What little English they did speak was in a Yiddish accent and not easy to understand. The other kids were Irish or first-generation Jews and some of them made fun of my old family's broken English. I defended my situation by pretending to be a bully. I heard that some parents even warned their kids to stay away from me, although I think you can see from this photograph that I really didn't look much like a bully:
In fact, I would say that I was more of a ring-leader than I was a bully. I had my circle of friends from the neighborhood, most of whom were younger than me, and—under my leadership—tended to be troublemakers.
Of this group, I remember only Ian Jenkins (standing on the left) and Jane Saul (standing on the right). Whenever Janie wanted me to come outdoors to play she stood in the alley outside our kitchen and called, "Soooooooozan, Soooooooozan," which sounded like a moose horn, and made my family laugh.
Our pranks often involved water. For example, we might hide behind a brick wall that separated the alley from the sidewalk, on the lookout for passersby to shoot with our water pistols (an old lady who wore funny hats, kids in strollers, or big dogs leashed to their owners, for example). After ambushing them with our pistols, we ducked behind the wall so they wouldn't know where the water came from. Or we might do the same thing perched above the sidewalk on the branches of a tree. We also got a kick out of calling random numbers on the telephone, then hanging up as soon as someone answered. And it's true, I did challenge these kids to steal candies from Mr. Glass, who ran the pharmacy on the corner of Skillman and 48th Street.
But when it came to bullies, my first cousins Tony and his older sister Boo-Boo were much more professional. They took real pleasure in teasing me. One day, when no one was at home upstairs, Boo-Boo and Tony locked me in their bathroom and told me to wait there until the cheesecake factory arrived to take me away. I cried so hard my grandmother came running upstairs and released me from my torture and yelled at my cousins for what they had done.
My one real regret was that I wasn't allowed to have any pets in the house. My parents always fed cats or dogs in Connecticut, and I was lonely for that kind of companionship. There was no way my family or the kids in the neighborhood were able to fill that lonesome void.
Things livened up somewhat after my ailing grandfather died of a heart attack. My bachelor uncle Sam immediately returned from southern California, where he had led a glamorous life with beautiful women, and managing the famous singer/bandleader Rudy Vallee.
Sammy came to Sunnyside with big dreams of becoming a rich inventor. He took over my grandfather's old bedroom. Within weeks the house was strewn with electric tubes, wires, gears, and mysterious parts that seemed to disappear with Sammy inside a large polished wood cabinet. What emerged months later was a wondrous robotic Victrola never before seen on earth. Sammy crafted and installed a shiny, curved metal arm that could swing sideways, reach down, lift a 78 rpm phonograph record off the platter, turn it to the other side, and lower it slowly back onto the spindle. Imagine not having to turn over a record by hand! Sammy put an ad in the paper and sold the console to a rich man in Texas for $1,000. He eventually abandoned the project when he found he couldn't get his automatic Victrola into production in a factory. I missed the excitement of the record player, but Sammy made up for it by buying an RCA television set that had a round screen. I no longer needed to knock on the Friedland's door at the end of the courtyard to watch their tv. Now I could watch Magic Cottage and Howdy Doody Time every day after school in my own home.
Sammy was full of mischief. He loved to drive, for example. In Connecticut my parents owned a car, used strictly for errands. Sammy had a car too, but he used it for pleasure. He was always happy to take a drive to Coney Island or to Jones Beach. Mom and Tibe might agree to go along now and then, but my cousin Tony and I were always ready for an adventure with Sammy. Tony and I played a game: There was a popular car called a Studebaker, which was designed in such a way that the rear of the car looked almost identical to the front. On every foray with Sammy we would count the number of Studebakers on the highway, trying to outnumber the ones we had seen on previous journeys. "There's one," Tony called out. "No, that's a Chevy, Sammy would say, or "No, that's a Nash Rambler," just to see if he could fool us.
Although Sammy and Tibel certainly enlivened my days in Sunnyside, I longed to live with my mother and father almost as much as I yearned for a pet. Manhattan, only thirty minutes away, was another world entirely. Every Friday afternoon Boo-Boo earned a quarter for taking me to visit my parents living on East 15th Street, where I made some weekend friends who would play with me—not sissy games like jumping rope or hopscotch on the sidewalks, but stickball in the streets, or a game we called Hindu that required a certain expertise in tossing a powdery pink Spaulding ball to just the right spot on the exterior wall of the Masonic temple on 15th Street.
On Sunday evenings my mother coaxed me back to Sunnyside, and my grandmother scrubbed off all the soot and scrapings I had accumulated during my weekend escapades so that I would be respectably clean for school on Monday.
By then I was old enough that my mother instructed me to take Granma to the election booths to vote. This wasn't easy. Since she couldn't read English, I pointed out the picture of the Liberty Bell and told her to pull down the little lever next to it. One time she seemed to be behind the curtains for a very long time and I was growing restless. Finally, I heard her call out in her broken English, "Offisa how do I get outta here?" not realizing she was supposed to pull the big lever to the right in order to register her vote and simultaneously open the curtain. That was embarrassing. I couldn't understand how it was possible for Granma to become a citizen without being able to read English. Mom explained that when Granma was called up by the judge at the immigration court, she charmed him by saying, "Judge, you work hard and look tired. Would you like a cup of coffee?" That seemed to have amused him enough to approve her citizenship.
My exile in Sunnyside ended when I was nine years old. I was by then mature enough to navigate the bus system in Manhattan to and from school on my own. This entailed my taking the bus cross-town on 14th Street—from Third Avenue to Sixth Avenue—and changing to the bus that would bring me downtown to Little Red School House on Bleecker Street. A new school was exciting enough, but for me living with my parents in Manhattan was the real change. And second to that, I was allowed to adopt a puppy, a shiny black English cocker spaniel. I called him Nicky. Because of him and the tricks I taught him, I became popular with my classmates.
When I was twelve years-old, I moved on to the high school building of Little Red School House called Elisabeth Irwin (named after its founder).There I developed a huge crush on a girl who was two years ahead of me in school: Adria Fisher. I was so enamored that when I found a piece of paper with her writing on it I imitated her handwriting. (Sixty years later, when Adie and I attended high school alumni meetings, neither one of us could distinguish our handwritings. It was a subject of much laughter then, but a deep secret when I was young.)
Because Adria lived in Sunnyside, I was able to see her when I went there to visit my family. Sammy often played tennis on weekends at the Boulevard Gardens courts in Woodside. I didn't play tennis myself, but as soon as I learned that he regularly played with Adria, I went with him as often as possible. I also had an alternative plan, made possible by my obliging dog Nicky. In Sunnyside Adria lived within walking distance of 40-31-48th Street, in a two-story family house that overlooked a grassy plot of land. Almost every weekend, Nicky and I played on that grassy plot until "by coincidence" Adria came out to greet us and invite us into her home. Thanks to Nicky, Adria and I became good friends.
I'm curious about why so many of my contemporaries lived in Sunnyside and attended Little Red School House and Elisabeth Irwin High School. That dual connection is surely one of the reasons Adria and I are still friends, so many years later. There were others as well, Flora Friedland, Eddie Schoenberger, Ian Jenkins, as well as those whose names I've forgotten. And how is it that my mother knew in the 1930s that Sunnyside would be a safe and cheerful neighborhood for my grandparents? The population has certainly changed since those days, but I wonder if that sense of community still exists. I suspect it has.

Review: Leslie Odom, Jr. | Dallas Symphony Orchestra | Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center
Everything We Waited For
Hamilton star Leslie Odom, Jr. thrilled audiences in his pops concert with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra.

Leslie Odom, Jr.
Dallas — "Seeing four men of color singing together on stage about friendship and brotherhood—to me, that was the revolution."
That is how Leslie Odom, Jr. described his first experience with what would eventually become the hit Broadway sensation Hamilton, by Lin-Manuel Miranda. When he first saw the work, still in its infancy in 2013 at Vassar College, he had no idea that he would be at the center of the cultural phenomenon as a member of the original Broadway cast.
Now, some two years after his stint as Aaron Burr, Odom, along with his five-piece band Remedy, has crafted an effective musical identity with a clever penchant for jazz interpretation, which they've displayed in music halls across the country.
Friday night's performance of Odom's collaboration with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra saw the Meyerson Symphony Center nearly sold-out as Hamilton fans flocked to see the Tony and Grammy award-winning entertainer—and interestingly, a few days before the First National Tour of Hamilton hits Dallas. It was a superb performance, characterized by deeply poignant music and Odom's endearing on-stage charm. There is one more performance, at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, March 31.
Odom astutely kicks off his set with the wildly popular "Wait For It" from the show that made his career. Its high energy serves as a perfect kick off to an evening of artful exploration into jazz, pop, and showtunes.
The show is well-paced, punctuated by intimate moments between Odom and the audience. He delivers thoughtful renditions of contemporary Broadway numbers. The song "Sarah" from The Civil War demanded undivided attention, with a rich and soulful lilt that left the room feeling breathless. He also gave his players amble time to shine with "The Guilty Ones" from the Tony-winning musical Spring Awakening—each instrument takes a turn in the spotlight with dizzying solo improvisations that amount to a very well-received extended jam session.
Odom's careful treatment of Nat King Cole and the American Songbook is noteworthy as well. With elegance and longing, he colors "I Know That You Know" with a touching shade of blue, then aptly uplifts the mood with a rousing medley of "Mona Lisa," "Straighten Up and Fly Right," and "Unforgettable." He even has fun engaging the crowd in an enjoyable rendition of Cab Calloway's "Minny the Moocher," bobbing and jiving from one end of the stage to the other while waving the mic toward the crowd on the iconic "Hi-dee-hi-dee-hi-dee-hi!"
Musically, Odom is alert, expressive, and flexible. His tenor is lyrical and sweet, with a surprising depth at the bottom that gives him versatility and range. With it, he effortlessly weaves in and out of emotive turns with an edge that is Broadway clean and freely gospel-esque. In concerts like these, the mix of orchestra and post-audio reverb can be a difficult balance, but the vocalist manages a good enough blend that fills the space well.
His collaboration with the orchestra, and theirs with him, is noticeably neat under the baton of Jeff Tyzik. Their contribution to the sets offers a shimmering layer of tonality and musicianship that elevates each number. They mindfully set up each half with exciting orchestral pieces—the first is a medley from West Side Story and the second is Mancini's rousing "Strings on Fire."
It's not until the end of show when Odom delivers what many had been waiting for. "We've reached the Hamilton portion of the night," he says as he jokingly teases younger attendees for being bored up to this point. He is a font of charisma as a belts "The Story of Tonight" and closes off with "The Room Where it Happens," dripping with all the swagger of the role that made his career.
Sending the high-spirited audience home with an encore of "Without You" from "Rent," which he describes as the Hamilton from his youth, Odom's concert is a brilliant compilation of covers that energizes, emotes, and engages.

Your vet will provide clinical advice and guidance.
Pets -- they're here for a good time, not a long time. As difficult as it might be to accept, the majority of pet owners will outlive their pets and, in cases where the pet becomes sick or debilitated, will have to make that final call to bring a pet's life to an end. It's a difficult process to go through, but it can be made a whole lot easier with honesty, pragmatism and an acceptance of advice from others.
Your vet will be able to give you two very important pieces of information. Firstly she'll be able to advise on whether your pet's health is likely to improve. Secondly, she can also make a good guess on the likely pain or discomfort your pet may experience based on his condition. Use this information to inform your own decision on when the right time to say goodbye to your pet might be. Oftentimes, the assurances from a vet that your pet is unlikely to improve are comforting, as they remove that dreadful doubt from your mind that you may be acting too hastily. Your vet will also be able to advise on whether pain medication can make your pet more comfortable.
You know your pet better than anyone else. Therefore, only you can judge whether he is truly himself. If your pet is unable to behave naturally and follow his instincts, it may be kinder to consider euthanasia. Animals can tolerate discomfort to a point, but many veterinarians recommend using the ability to perform basic natural behaviors as the determining factor for deciding on euthanasia. For example, if a dog is unable to walk, eat or relieve himself, it is typically kinder to bring his life to a peaceful, painless end rather than prolong his suffering.
All pets have days when they're sick and, sadly, as our beloved pets age, these days become more frequent. But even in cases of chronic or terminal illness, this doesn't necessarily mean the end is in sight. A good way of determining a pet's quality of life is to keep a record or diary, noting the good days and the bad days. If the majority of your pet's days are spent in pain or without the ability to behave as nature would intend, this may be the time to say goodbye. However, if your pet enjoys as many good days as bad, or perhaps more -- provided he isn't experiencing a lot of pain -- you might consider waiting to make that decision.
Caring for a sick pet, especially one nearing the end of his life, can have a huge emotional and financial cost. This can make an otherwise compassionate and loving pet owner agitated, irritable and high strung. It's therefore essential you ensure that caring for your pet is not having an adverse influence on your own health. Don't be ashamed or feel guilty about considering your own feelings in this difficult scenario.

Nigeria Matters
Edo State; The Nigerian State
by Michael Egbejumi-David6 min readAugust 24, 2013Add comment
Six years or so ago, when I wrote that Imo State has the highest literacy level in Nigeria, an Edo lady from the Nigerian Village Square disagreed heatedly – even in the face of incontrovertible statistics. She was trying to push the line that that distinction belongs to Edo State.
So it gives me no particular pleasure (wink!) when a video turned up showing a school teacher in Edo State who is unable to read. The video went viral about a week ago.
I'm sure most of us have seen the video: The Edo State governor, Adams Oshiomhole had made an unscheduled visit to a Staff Training Centre that was being used for the verification of certificates of primary school teachers in the State. Unfortunately for one Mrs Augusta Odemwinge, a teacher at Asologun Primary School, Ikpoba, this was the precise moment she too turned up at the Centre with her certificates and a sworn affidavit. The governor asked Mrs Odemwinge to read out her affidavit and that was when all hell broke loose. The teacher could not read! She was unable to read over half the words on the paper, and her pronunciation was atrocious. When the governor asked her to go write on the board, she demurred and asked to take the paper with her.
Everyone present was taken aback; they were greatly shocked. Embarrassment was etched on the face of the governor. A kindergarten pupil would have done better. Watching that video for me was painful and quite disheartening. Watching the teacher struggle and bumble along recalls to mind another one time teacher, Mrs Patience Jonathan. This was someone's mother being put through the griller in public.
And in a cruel twist of irony, sitting directly behind poor Mrs Odemwinge was the Chief of Staff to the governor. The one and only Igodomigodo, Patrick Obahiagbon, a man partial to turbulent and concussive grammatical bombast. The one man in whose very presence you want to watch your spoken English.
When a teacher cannot not read; when a teacher cannot pronounce words such as, 'judiciary,' 'residing,' 'hereby,' 'registered,' 'declaration,' 'provisions,' 'solemn,' 'affidavit,' 'virtue,' etc, etc, what hope is there?
What has happened to education in Nigeria?
Back in December 2011, in the same Edo State, all the secondary school students that sat the National Examinations Council (NECO) exams failed. ALL of them! The great Ogbemudia must be crying in his beer.
A few years ago, I found myself lusting after a young lady from Ogun State. She had a body and a backside that simply made a man's eyes water. You know, the kind of body that guarantees that she would always have more female enemies than friends. But when she opens her mouth to talk, you couldn't call her spoken English awful; it was almost non-existent. It was very, very embarrassing. I almost gave up chasing what it was I was chasing. However, the young lady had a degree from a College of Education from her State!
When I also wrote that in the late 1970s and early 1980s, students were being taken out of some secondary schools in Kaduna as early as Form 3 and were being enrolled in Ahmadu Bello University's pre-Law programme, some folks from the afore-mentioned Nigerian Village Square locked horns with me in disagreement. But look at the shape and the state of the Nigerian judiciary today.
Here in the UK, not too long ago, the General Medical Council (GMC) was forced to bar graduates of nine Nigerian Universities from practicing in the UK. Medical graduates from Ambrose Ali University, Ekpoma; University of Benin; University of Jos; University of Nigeria, Nsukka; University of Port Harcourt; Ebonyi State University; Igbinedion University College of Health Sciences; Ladoke Akintola University of Technology; and Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka were not allowed to practice in the UK because, in the view of the GMC, the schools did not meet prescribed minimum standards.
Also here in the UK, there are very many Law graduates of Nigerian Universities. But quite a few of them cannot put two coherent sentences together to save their lives. They are unable to pass the UK Bar exam. In frustration, about half of them have become Pentecostal pastors.
What has become of Nigeria's educational system?
There is beginning to appear a very visible and a very loud generational divide in our educational quality and erudition. It is beginning to look like quite a few people that graduated from our tertiary institutions post the 1980s were not quite fully cooked.
We used to export professionals – especially Jurists and Professors – to other developing countries to help develop their systems. Our military officers used to train and used to lead international military organisations and peace corps. Our schools and universities used to boast of renowned indigenous and expatriate professors and teachers. But not anymore. We now turn out teachers who cannot read!
Some point the accusing finger in Babangida's direction. The man probably accelerated the downward spiral but I suspect the problem predates the evil genius. I think Ali-Must-Go started it all. Then came IBB. Incessant ASUU strikes. Then hunger. Emphasis shifted from learning to merely passing exams. Some lecturers became corrupt. They became more interested in food, money and sex. These they traded for passing grades. Affirmative action and federal character destroyed the rest.
Things were particularly bad during IBB's time. Government deliberately starved educational institutions (and the Police Force) of funds and support. They were crippled and made near worthless. As a result, disparate and chicken-shed private schools sprang up everywhere. I still don't quite know the rationale behind that policy.
And so today, we have a Comptroller General of Customs who is unable to protest when accused of having someone else sit his school exams for him. We have a teacher who cannot read her own credentials. Please think about that for a moment: A primary school teacher who is unable to read! That means the future of the young wards under her tutelage is being severely compromised right at the very foundation.
To make a bad situation worse, now, there is 'text' or 'texting' language and writing, and some of our graduates can't tell the difference anymore.

Q: Using R Caret model with different tunning parameters I trained a NNET Caret Model with three sizes in tuning function.
The final Model was fitted with one size. It was choosed by the smallest RMSE, automatically.
    Neural Network

9700 samples
  23 predictor

Pre-processing: centered, scaled
Resampling: Cross-Validated (8 fold, repeated 8 times)

Summary of sample sizes: 8488, 8488, 8487, 8485, 8488, 8488, ...

Resampling results across tuning parameters:

  size  RMSE    Rsquared  RMSE SD   Rsquared SD
  12    0.0328  0.951     0.002033  0.006127
  24    0.0221  0.978     0.001358  0.002764
  72    0.0134  0.992     0.000647  0.000815

Tuning parameter 'decay' was held constant at a value of 5e-04
RMSE was used to select the optimal model using  the smallest value.
The final values used for the model were size = 72 and decay = 5e-04.

But I want to explore the models trained with the others sizes too.
Can I use the the predict function with others tunning parameters of the model?

A: If you use the savePredictions argument of trainControl, you can get the hold-out predictions from the different models in the tuning grid. Apart from that, you would need to fit separate models.

Emma Goldman Biography, Life, Interesting Facts
Birthday :
Died On :
May 14, 1940,
Also Known For :
Birth Place :
Kaunas, Kaunas, Lithuania
Zodiac Sign :
Emma Goldman was born in Kaunas in present-day Lithuania, then part of the Russian empire on June 27, 1869. She was the daughter of Abraham Goldman and his wife, Taube Bienowitch. She had five other siblings in the family.
She grew up in a dysfunctional family. She suffered violence from his father while her mother became a silent observer. Goldman developed defiance and resistance as the only way to defend herself. She only opened up to her elder sister Helena as a friend.
As years went by, Goldman grew up to defy any authoritative figure in her life. She became rebellious to her parents, teachers, and any person who tried to help her. In his retaliation, Abraham Goldman discontinued her education from the formal school system. She obliged and started studying on her own. Goldman became a self-taught student. She did odd jobs to support her mother and siblings since their father technically abandoned them to poverty.
Activism Career
In 1885, Emma Goldman moved to the US at the age of 16. She settled in Chicago with her sister and the husband who had emigrated earlier. With little formal education, Goldman got a job at a local clothing factory as a seamstress.
She became actively involved in the union movement. She organized the workers against the labor injustices and lack of better representation to the management. Goldman became a target for factory owners' surveillance machinery.
In May of 1886, the workers of Haymarket Square in Chicago staged an industrial strike. They held a rally in support of the implementation of the eight-hour working day. A bomb thrown from the crowd killed seven police officers. The identity of the bomber was never revealed, and no arrests were made. The police responded by arresting and prosecuting several local anarchists. Emma Goldman, like most of the unionists, was appalled by the police action. She gradually drew closer to the anarchist ideology.
In 1889, she moved from Chicago to New York. Goldman met with the leading anarchists in the state. She met Alexander Berkman, who after a while introduced her to publisher anarchist Johann Most. Most owned, edited, and published the anarchist journal with a German name Die Freiheit. A gifted orator, Most impressed Goldman after attending one of his speeches. She decided to join the mainstream anarchist movement.
Emma Goldman made her debut speech accompanied by her mentor Johann Most in 1890. She did many other lectures on several tours she went with him. She also created a working relationship with Alexander Berkman in 1892. They made a plan to kill the Carnegie Steel Company manager Henry Clay Frick. Frick had been in the spotlight for opposing labor rights for workers.
Since they were involved with the workers union movement, Goldman and Berkman found murdering Frick as their only way to silence the anti-workers bosses. Berkman got arrested after a failed attempt to kill Frick. He was tried and jailed, while Goldman escaped a prison sentence for lack of substantial evidence.
In the wake of the economic crunch that gripped the US in 1893, Emma Goldman and her colleagues stepped up their campaign for better industrial terms for workers. She gave a fiery speech to a meeting of the unemployed. The meeting degenerated into chaos with the police. She got arrested and charged for inciting people to violence.
This time, Goldman got a prison sentence for her actions. As part of her reformation program in jail, she enrolled for a nursing program. She finished her medical studies as a nurse, though she never practiced medicine.
Emma Goldman returned to her movement upon her release from prison. In 1896, she published her first anarchist book titled Anarchy Defended by anarchists. In 1906, she did establish a controversial magazine Mother Earth.
She used the magazine to propagate her views on birth control, labor rights, government regulations, and women empowerment. Alexander Berkman, now out of jail, edited the publication. She toured the country publicizing the magazine while delivering fiery speeches on anarchism.
Emma Goldman got an ally in the pro-contraception campaign. She teamed up with Margaret Sanger to publicize the debate through the media. In June 1914, they published a controversial column in a local feminist journal The Woman Rebel. She continued with her nationwide anarchist tours in 1915 and 1916. Defiant in nature, she got arrested severally and released.
In 1917, she led a campaign against the forceful conscription of young men into the military for WW1. With her No-Conscription League, she spearheaded a futile battle against Congress and the executive. In 1920, Goldman went into exile in Russia after the US government declared her a persona non grata. She left Russia for London and reached Canada in 1927. In 1936 she went to Spain during the Spanish Civil War and founded an organization for helping the vulnerable women and children in the war.
In 1887, Emma Goldman married Jacob Kershner and divorced the next year. She then married James Colton in 1925, with whom they stayed together until her death
Emma Goldman died on May 14, 1940, at the age of 70. In 1981, a film in her honor titled Reds was produced. In her stay in the US, the media nicknamed her the Most Dangerous Woman in America.

Blog » TEFL Information » In-class and online TEFL/TESOL courses: What's the Difference?
There are three common ways of earning your TEFL/TESOL certificate; in-class, online or a combination of the two. But how do they differ and how can you decide which course is the right one for you?
The first option is the in-class TEFL course and this is best for people who like a structured study environment and have the ability to attend a four week on-site course. Trainees on in-class courses benefit from more than 120 hours of study time, the advice of experienced and qualified teacher trainers, foreign language learning experience, welcome meal and excursion, plus much more.
In-class courses have many benefits over other ways of studying. You won't be going through the course alone and will be able to share the experience with your fellow classmates. Taking the course alongside other trainees provides plenty of opportunities to socialise and acclimatise to a new country.
One of the most important parts of an in-class TEFL/TESOL course is the several hours of observed teaching practice you will receive. This practice gives you the chance to earn valuable practical experience and feedback on your teaching. Observed teaching practice will help you to improve as a teacher and also improve your chances of getting hired.
Another benefit of an in-class course is that if you attend it in the country you want to teach in, you will have a head start when it comes to finding the perfect teaching job. Upon graduation of the in-class course you will receive an internationally recognised certificate and lifetime job support.
The next option is taking a course entirely online. ITTT's high quality online courses represent outstanding value for money; giving you a thorough grounding in the theory without the expense or inconvenience of taking four weeks off work to attend an in-class course.
You can study anywhere you want whether at home, at work, or on the road as you travel. As long as you have internet access, online courses offer you maximum flexibility when it comes to earning your TEFL/TESOL certificate.
The courses available range from the 60-hour introductory TEFL/TESOL course to the more advanced 250-hour Diploma in TESOL. We also offer a standard 120-hour TEFL/TESOL course and two specialised courses in teaching English to young learners and teaching business English.
All these courses are studied 100% online and are available with or without tutor support. Graduates will receive an internationally recognised certificate and lifetime job guidance.
The final choice offers trainees the best of both worlds when it comes to online and in-class courses. The combined course has been designed for those who prefer to do the majority of their studying in their own time and in the comfort of their own home or office, but who still require the valuable experience that in-class sessions and observed teaching practice can give.
With this option you study the theory 100% online with the support of a highly experienced online tutor. Once the online component is complete you can then attend one of our training centres for practical teaching sessions and advice from our teacher trainers. All combined course graduates will receive an internationally recognised certificate as well as our lifetime job assistance.
When trying to decide which course to take you need to consider what you want out of the course, but you also need to think about what your potential employers will need.
If you are planning to work in a country that is already a popular destination for TEFL/TESOL teachers, then an in-class course in that country is probably your best option. On the other hand, you may not yet be sure where or when you intend to teach. In that case the 120-hour online course could be the better choice for you. If you plan on volunteering, or are just curious as to whether you would enjoy teaching English as a foreign language, a 60-hour online course would be a good choice.
Get learning and start teaching!
Whatever your plans are for teaching English abroad, ITTT has got the right course for you. Sign up for an in-class or online TEFL/TESOL course today and you could be teaching in the destination of your dreams before you know it.


text:
Falivene es un apellido italiano originario de Salerno, principalmente en los montes Picentinos. Surgió aproximadamente en el siglo XVI.

Se escribe correctamente Falivene, sufriendo a lo largo de los años diversas deformaciones: tales como el reemplazar la "V" por la "B"; o en algunos casos la terminación, la "E" es cambiada por la "A" o la "I".

Según el Historical Research Center, deriva de dos palabras Fali y Vene, respectivamente Valentín y quien obra bien.

Uno de los primeros en hacer uso del apellido fue Monseñor Agostino Falivene, en el 1500s o Fiorella Falivena, fundadora del convento de SS Maria in Carbonara. En la actualidad es conocido por sus temas musicales el compositor e intérprete Gerardo Faliveri.
