The first blog for the LACM student blog page. This blog page will allow people from all over the world get an insight into the life of a student at LACM. Call it a venting platform, which will also allow students to express their successes and challenges of the week or just share a piece of information. As LACM has weekly shows, masterclasses and interesting lessons, this blog page can be an open book of information that will interest and excite others whilst keeping them in the loop about LACM life.
Coming from Sydney Australia, I had just finished my degree in PR and Advertising and was all ready to run to the other side of the world to do what I truly believe I was born to do. Yes I got a degree, I made the parents proud but I knew I needed to do something risk taking and adventurous whilst exploring my true passion for songwriting. I knew I made the right decision when at orientation day at LACM, I got a flush of goosebumps with sheer excitement. I saw my skills as a songwriter develop through and through, I made friends for life from countries all over the globe. I learned guitar in 6 weeks, orchestrated a 6 piece band, performed in front of industry panelists and released an EP. None of which could be done without the education and assistance of LACM.
Yes it was hard, yes people were dropping like flies, yes I was stressed but this was only a little insight into the real world of the music industry. What was so crazy was that in Australia I felt so far away from all the action as a writer or a musician, "making it" seemed like a faraway task. However, at LACM I was meeting famous writers, meeting Beyonce's lawyer, meeting the Madden Brothers and actually going to their studio as an excursion. Everything feels accessible in Los Angeles and less daunting. I graduated this month, as writer and was so amazed at the overall experience at LACM.
The school overall has a nurturing atmosphere, a multicultural and bilingual environment that broadened my mind about the outside world. I became more cultured and more educated and inspired everyday whilst doing what I absolutely love. My teachers became guardians and friends that cared for me and still do.
I can truly say it was the best decision I have made and now I'm ready to set foot into the real world and I'm not as scared as I thought I would be, because I actually know what to do.


While cruciate-retaining and posterior-stabilized devices will perform well for the vast majority of patients presenting as candidates for primary total knee arthroplasty, the orthopaedic surgeon occasionally encounters cases of advanced severity. Complex presentations range from higher degrees of ligamentous incompetency to severe restriction of the range of motion with substantial flexion contracture to posttraumatic arthritis and to post-osteotomy deformity of either the distal part of the femur or the proximal part of the tibia. The challenge confronting the reconstructive surgeon is to obtain a well-balanced flexion-extension gap with balanced collateral ligaments. This is frequently best accomplished with a modular system that offers a continuum of constraint. Modularity allows intraoperative customization; namely, the use of stems, wedges, and augments. Frequently these difficult primary arthroplasties require the use of posterior-stabilized constrained implants. In this JBJS video supplement, Dr. Adolph Lombardi, Jr. demonstrates the versatility of a posterior stabilized constrained system.


Tomatoes, onions, and herbs have always come together in a happy marriage. In this recipe they provide the building-blocks for a savory, versatile loaf topped with some smoked sea salt to provide additional depth of flavour. Any breadbasket would welcome a few pieces of this bread for the dinner table. It's also great as a mid-afternoon snack, in the kids' lunch bag, or some have even been known to eat it for breakfast.
Pour hot water over the sun-dried tomatoes in a small bowl. Set aside and let soak for 1/2 hour or so.
Meanwhile, heat 2 tbsps of the olive oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet. Add chopped onions and 1 tsp salt. Cook the onions until they are soft and golden brown. Add the chopped herbs and sauté for another 1 – 2 minutes stirring often until the herbs are mixed in and you can smell the amazing aroma. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
Put the skillet back on the burner on medium heat, add the chopped tomatoes with their juices. Simmer for 5 – 10 minutes until they are tender and the liquids have boiled down. It should be slightly thickened and resemble a chunky sauce. Add the soaked sun-dried tomatoes with their water, 2 tbsps olive oil, and 1 tsp salt. Set aside and let mixture cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl combine the whole wheat flour and 1 1/2 cups white flour with the yeast and sugar. Mix well. Add the tomatoes and liquid and mix well with a wooden spoon. Continue to add the rest of the white flour bit by bit until the batter is thick and elastic. Add the cooked onions and herbs. Combine well but don't over work the batter. NB: You should have a sticky soft batter. This is not a dough that you knead but more like a stiff cake batter.
Oil a 9 x 12 rectangular baking pan with some olive oil. Spread the batter into the pan making sure to get it in the corners. Sprinkle with smoked sea salt. Cover, set aside, and let it rest until the batter rises to double its size, about 45 minutes.
Bake the bread in a pre-heated oven at 375F for 35 – 40 minutes until lightly browned and the bottom sounds hollow when tapped. Let the bread cool on a rack and then serve.


The topic of having children at weddings is a sensitive and often controversial conversation….
Do we invite kids to our wedding? Do we only invite the children in our bridal party?
Do we invite only the small children in our family? Do we have a cut off age? What will the children do if they are at our wedding? Will they interfere? Will they have what to eat? Will we insult guests if we don't include their children but include the children of our relatives?
If you are currently planning your wedding, it is very likely that these questions have come up in conversations with your fiancé, wedding planner or nosy relative looking to give you advice.
We recently learned about a wonderful babysitting service called My Fair Nanny which offers a wedding day child care solution!
We spoke with Kimberly, owner of My Fair Nanny, to better understand the child care services provided.
She shared a ton of valuable information with us so let's take a look at our conversation!
How did you come up with the idea of starting My Fair Nanny?
When I was planning my own wedding , I chose to have two children in my bridal party, one as my flower girl and one as my ring bearer. I wanted their parents to enjoy the night without having to worry about diaper changes, feeding times or bedtimes.
Finding a sitter for the night became a challenge though! All of their regular sitters were also going to be attending my wedding! Since I had been a nanny throughout college, I figured I would just find a sitter for the children for the evening and we would be all set.
This was the first time that I had to ever personally look for a sitter which proved more challenging than I thought! I sifted through listings on popular websites of sitters who were certainly not qualified enough to care for the two most important munchkins in my life. I still remember the night that I discussed this dilemma with my now husband and he said " You should just start a nanny company that caters to weddings" – needless to say about a week later, My Fair Nanny was created!
How far in advance should a wedding couple plan to call you to secure the date?
I would recommend calling us about three to four months prior to the wedding date just to ensure the spot and secure the date.
What if the wedding couple doesn't know how many children they will have in attendance?
No problem at all! To book our services we require only a small booking fee. The remaining balance will be due with the final headcount two weeks prior to the wedding date, so that should give plenty of time to collect those RSVPs.
What do you need to know from the wedding couple before the wedding day?
We like to know as much as possible about the children before the wedding so we can bring along supplies that specifically fit their age range and interests.
Three weeks prior to the wedding we send out a questionnaire to collect information such as the children's ages, names, interests, favorite characters and activities, if they've been left with a sitter before, if they have any allergies or special needs we need to be aware of etc.
What types of games and activities do the nannies bring with them?
Our sitters bring age appropriate toys, games, arts and crafts, movies, music, coloring books etc. Typically their bags are full with Jenga, Puzzles, Building blocks, puppet supplies, Elmo/Ninja Turtles/Frozen (or whatever the "cool" movies are at that time), cars, dolls, books, go fish, counting games etc.
Our supplies vary from event to event since each one is comprised of different children of different ages and interests.
Is there a nanny to child ratio per wedding?
Is there a minimum number of kids? Maximum?
There is no minimum or maximum number of children.
Where do you set up your service in the venue? Is the wedding couple required to pay for the extra room if it is necessary to rent it out or is that part of the price?
Typically we set up in the bridal suite, in an empty room at the venue, bridal suite or guest room at the hotel. We are very flexible and can make any empty space work for the evening. If there is no empty space available and a space is required to rent, that would be the wedding couple's responsibility.
Normally, we are able to work with the venue to acquire a quiet area for the kids to play without any problem.
Please describe who your nannies are including background and training.
Our sitters come from a variety of different backgrounds all with extensive experience in childcare. They are teachers, mothers, professional nannies, school counselors, and nurses.
Each sitter is First Aid and CPR certified. They are background-checked and trained with My Fair Nanny before heading out to their first event on their own. We also have a select group of nannies who are certified to work special needs children.
Thank you Kimberly for taking the time to chat with us! Learn more about My Fair Nanny by visiting their website.

Q: inner product and orthonormal basis problem Let $w_{1},...,w_{n}\in V$. Let $g_{ij}:=T(w_{i},w_{j})$, where $T(w_{i},w_{j})$ denotes the inner product. I want to show that $g_{ij}=\displaystyle\sum_{k=1}^{n}a_{ik}a_{kj}$.
Hint: suppose that $v_{1},...,v_{n}$ is an orthonormal basis for $V$ with respect to $T$ and $w_{i}=\displaystyle\sum_{j=1}^{n}a_{ij}v_{j}$.
I am lost a bit in the indices that appear in the solution:
Let $A:=(a_{ij})$ with $w_{i}=\displaystyle\sum_{j=1}^{n}a_{ij}v_{j}$.  Then by the bilinearity $g_{ij}=T(w_{i},w_{j})=\displaystyle\sum_{k}a_{ik}a_{kj}$, where the rhs is just the entries of $AA^{T}$.
In, paricular I don't understad how to obtain the last equality (the sum).  Since
$$w_{i}=\displaystyle\sum_{j=1}^{n}a_{ij}v_{j}\hspace{4mm} \text{and}\hspace{4mm} w_{j}=\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{n}a_{ji}v_{i}$$
is it true then
$$\displaystyle\sum_{i=1,j=1}^{n}w_{i}w_{j}=\displaystyle\sum_{j=1}^{n}\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^{n}a_{ij}a_{ji}v_{j}v_{i}$$ but then as $v_{1},...v_{n}$ is an orthonormal basis with respect to $T$ we have that $$v_{j}v_{i}:=\delta_{ji}=\begin{cases}1,\;\text{if}\;j=i\\0 \;\text{if}\;j\neq i\end{cases}$$
Can someone explain how to get
$$g_{ij}=\displaystyle\sum_{k}a_{ik}a_{kj}$$ where did the index $k$ come from?
Thanks in advance

A: The index $k$ comes from the definition of matrix multiplication. If $A = (a_{ij})_{m \times n}$ and $B = (b_{ij})_{n \times p}$, then if $C = A \cdot B$, by definition we have: $$c_{ij} = \sum_{k = 1}^n a_{ik} b_{kj} $$
Try to recognize and interprete the matrix multiplications that appeared.

Launch of ALEC Exposed-style website highlights big business funding of "small" biz group, the National Federation of Independent Business, and its partisan agenda.
"Quid pro quo: something given or received for something else"
At about ten o'clock on the morning of March 23, 2011, Faith Williams walked into the office of Ohio House Majority Whip John Adams (R-District 78). Williams, a lobbyist with firm, Bricker & Eckler, LLP, (Bricker) had an appointment to speak with Adams about an "economic development study" created by some of her clients in the life insurance industry.
Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald are pushing for radical changes in Wisconsin's current mining law to benefit a single out-of-state company.
Gogebic Taconite, based out of Florida, has proposed a massive twenty-one mile long iron-ore strip mine in some of the most beautiful and pristine land in the northern part of the state. Walker and the GOP are promoting the mining bill as the most important "jobs bill" of the session. Since Governor Walker's austerity budget kicked in on July 1, Wisconsin has lost jobs for six straight months, the worst record in the country.
The Assembly proposal (PDF) would make numerous changes to current law, including regarding how mines can affect waterways, wetlands and groundwater. The new bill drastically limits the time available to the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for processing permit requests to 360 days. Similar permit requests in Minnesota took between two and four years. The new bill also places a two million dollar cap on the amount a company must reimburse the DNR for costs associated with processing a request. Any expense beyond the two million dollar cap would come from the DNR's budget. Similar mining permits elsewhere have cost between three and four million dollars, and the DNR already faces severe cuts.
A Wisconsin state legislator is filing a bill that would require greater transparency regarding the activities of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) in the state.
Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Madison) has been circulating the "ALEC Accountability Act," a bill that would require ALEC to register with the state as a lobbyist and report the funding sources for the "scholarships" funding legislators' travel. Pocan refers to ALEC as a "dating service" for right-wing politicians and corporations who exercise undue influence over state law by crafting "model" legislation behind closed doors.
Pocan believes that while ALEC is doing the work of a lobbyist, it is not complying with the reporting and registration requirements asked of all lobbyists. The bill would redefine "lobbying" to include contact with any member, employee, or agent of a body that "proposes uniform, model, suggested, or recommended legislation."
Rep. Farley Proposes Some Strong Arizona Sunshine on ALEC "Scholarships"
With the 2012 legislative season and another episode of the Great American Campaign Circus dawning over the nation, Arizona may find itself the proving grounds for possible reform in the age of "pay-to-play" politics.

Disc golf report time baby! Welcome back.
This time around, my trusty photographer and I take an excruciating 4.5 mile road trip (HendoRD @ 5pm,) to the exotic Lake Julian Disc Golf Course, to check out some singles tournament tomfoolery.
Let's start with a chat about the course. First off, it's pretty strange how few people even know of it's existence. For a number of reasons (location, 9 holes only, tee boxes are death traps) it's fairly off the radar, which is awesome in itself because even on the nicest days, the wait to play is very doable. Dig just a smidge deeper, and you'll find this is a more than worthy course that provides challenge, sophistication, variety and beauty. Take a gander at the montage below to get a feel for how Lake Julian DGC plays out.
Mad props to my homeboy Sir Name for providing the beat to this weeks video. A way talented local indeed. Check him out @ https://soundcloud.com/sir-name.
You'll notice the course is only 9 holes long, HOWEVER, it does have multiple tee boxes on most holes (except for #2 & #5), and even multiple baskets on two of them (#5 & #7). Essentially making Lake Julian a 20 hole course if you play all the possible combinations. The course design is clever and lends itself to natural barriers and man-made obstacles alike, creating a solid combination of tight woodland corridors and open field throws. In fact, if you play #7-Long, you get both. And yes, the lake does come into play on #9, creating a bit of a "Who's got the balls?" situation. Sure, the tee boxes need some love, and the constant clicking of power lines on #4 & #7 is rather unsettling, but this course makes for a damn fun outing, which is why they host a weekly tournament here. Check out the photo gallery below to view some highlights from this weeks tourney.
Photos courtesy of Daniel Griffin. Thank you very much good sir!
The type of tournament they play here is "Singles Handicap". Meaning each player is assigned a handicap depending on their level of skill (handicaps are determined after averaging your first 3 rounds). For instance, the best player on the board will likely have 3 strokes added to their final score and the worst player will have 3 strokes deducted from their final score. Thus making the playing field a little more even for anyone to join in and compete. In the end, there can only be one, and that honor this week goes to Tony Malone with a score of 49 strokes, great job man!
Don't you dare mess with Tony Malone!
And finally, my favorite part about the entire tournament at Lake Julian, the food! It's a super special treat that you can only get by coming out for the tourney. That's because long time disc golfer and mastermind cook Nick Sampayo of Food Club Enterprises hooks it up hard. Clearly the secret ingredient is love, as Nick's culinary contribution to the disc golf scene is for nothing more than donations (which he cycles all back into next weeks dish) and the satisfaction of helping bring the disc golf community together. Not only is it just awesome to get some food with your disco, but it's also SUPER GOOD. Like smoking and simmering for 12 hours good (look at the pics above if you don't believe me), more than good enough to warrant a shout out to anyone looking for catering.
Roasted Garlic cloves, short pickled bell peppers, caramelized onions and peppers, red sauce, sauteed mushrooms on chopped pasta, with micro Italian meatballs, hog jowl and collard greens . Simply D-LISH.
Well that does it for this DG Report. Catch you next time.
Looks like ziti to me.
Lake Julian will be a great park once the power plant converts to gas.

According to online reports, OnePlus 6T will be slightly more expensive than the current OnePlus 6 smartphone. A CNET report claims a tentative price of $550 in the US for OnePlus 6T, which is slight increase from the $529 price of OnePlus 6.
OnePlus is all set to launch its next flagship smartphone OnePlus 6T next month. The TV ads of OnePlus 6T have already started coming. The company has also confirmed some of the specifications of the upcoming smartphone. Here are all the confirmed as well as speculated specifications of the OnePlus 6T smartphone, along with its likely pricing and availability.
OnePlus is likely to launch OnePlus 6T globally on October 17. CNET recently shared an alleged image of the upcoming smartphone with October 17 written on it, triggering speculations that the smartphone will launch on that day.
OnePlus has confirmed that it is there will be no headphone jack in the upcoming 6T. The company's co-founder Carl Pei said told TechRadar website, "By removing the jack we've freed up more space, allowing us to put more new technology into the product."
OnePlus 6T will run on Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, same as the current OnePlus 6 smartphone.
According to OnePlus co-founder Carl Pei, OnePlus 6T will offer better battery life than OnePlus 6. Reports suggest that it will come with 3,500mAh battery with VOOC charge vs current OnePlus 6's 3300 battery capacity.
OnePlus 6T is expected to come with 6.4-inch (2340x1080) AMOLED display with 91.5% screen-to-body ratio. The smartphone's screen, however, is said to replace the OnePlus 6's notch with Waterdrop Display.


1) The AP is not enabled to be broadcasted. Please check the controller if the AP name is broadcasted. Also check if the AP is in Monitor mode.
2) It might have also happened that the AP was read by the application but placed under 'Not placed on any map', under the Access Points list. If its here, the AP can be dragged and dropped on the map on its actual location.
3) Also, check what regulatory domain is ESS running in. For example, if the regulatory domain in ESS is set to United States and the AP is operating on channel 12-14, it wouldn't get detected during the survey due to these channels being restricted by the regulatory domain. If this is the case, the solution would be to correct the regulatory domain to your location under the Preference menu.
Why am I seeing the exact same AP show up twice in a single survey, broadcasting on 2 different channels?


Two terrorists released in the Gilad Schalit exchange pledged to continue their jihad, the Middle East Media Research Institute's (MEMRI) Palestinian Media Studies Project reports.
In an interview posted online Oct. 19 and translated by MEMRI, Ahlam Tamimi expressed no regrets for her role in the suicide bombing of an Israeli restaurant. "This is the path. I dedicated myself to Jihad for the sake of Allah, and Allah granted me success," she said. "You know how many casualties there were [in the 2001 attack on the Sbarro pizzeria]? This was made possible by Allah."
Tamimi was serving 16 life sentences before she was released, one of hundreds of terrorists exchanged for Israeli soldier Gilad Schalit, who was kidnapped by Hamas five years ago.
Similarly, Muhammad Abu Ataya told Al-Quds TV of Lebanon last week that he was not deterred by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's warnings to hold accountable any released prisoner who returns to terrorism.
"He can make as many warning as he likes. His warning and threats will not deter us from continuing the journey of resistance, on which we embarked decades ago," Ataya said. He also declared that he had been imprisoned for 16 life sentences for "killing spies and traitors" and "going after the herd of settlers and the Israeli army," actions which he still supported.
Hamas' threats to continue the "resistance" and suicide bombings have also been repeated elsewhere in the Arab world. Saudi cleric Awad al-Qarni offered $100,000 as a reward for the kidnapping of Israeli soldiers, arguing that if Hamas could exchange one soldier for 1,000 prisoners, six additional Israelis would result in the release of all Palestinians in Israeli jails.
To fuel its terror, Hamas has also taken advantage of supplies of Libyan weapons which have become abundant since civil war rocked the North African country. Israeli daily Haaretz reports that Hamas has acquired relatively sophisticated Russian anti-aircraft missile, which were looted from Libyan storehouses during the chaos. This has prompted Israeli concern and motivated the United States to insist on strict arms controls from the new Libyan government.


The average person spends 90,000 hours at work over their lifetime.

The tip of fin tended to be towards port by about 1/4", thus when screwing things together pulled 1/4" starboard of plumb. When we let it go it stayed at 1/4" to right. Thought oh well. After bout 4 hours of 85 degrees it went perfectly plumb! Sometimes luck is just as important as skill!

Melvin Thomas Ott (March 2, 1909 – November 21, 1958), nicknamed "Master Melvin", was an American professional baseball right fielder, who played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the New York Giants, from 1926 through 1947.
He batted left-handed and threw right-handed. Though unusually slight in stature for a power hitter, at 5 feet 9 inches (1.75 m), 170 pounds (77 kg),[1] Ott led the National League in home runs a then record six times. He was an All-Star for 11 consecutive seasons[a], and was the first National League player to surpass 500 career home runs.
He was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1951.

Ott was born in Gretna, Louisiana, a suburb of New Orleans. Despite his average height, he quickly established himself as a gifted athlete, especially in baseball. During high school, he played on a semi-pro team three or four days a week. He already showed considerable power at a young age and was getting paid for it. His team had a tradition of passing the hat whenever a player hit a home run that figured in a victory, meaning Ott was taking home money for playing baseball as early as 14.[2]
Despite his power, Ott's hometown minor league team, the New Orleans Pelicans, refused to sign him because of concerns about his size. He then found a job at a lumber company in Patterson, near Morgan City, where he became a sensation on the company baseball team. Company owner Henry Williams was particularly impressed with Ott. While visiting New York, he suggested that Giants manager John McGraw give him a tryout. Ott was skeptical at first, so Williams bought Ott a train ticket to New York .[2]
Ott arrived in New York in early September. He quickly impressed observers with his hitting, especially McGraw, who predicted that he would be "one of the greatest lefthand hitters the National League has ever seen." He formally signed Ott to a contract in January 1926.[2]
Regular season[edit]
Ott had originally been a catcher, but McGraw concluded that Ott was too small to be a major league catcher and converted him into an outfielder. After two years as a part-time player, he became the regular right fielder in 1929 at the age of 19. He didn't disappoint, powering 41 home runs and collecting 151 RBIs—both records for players who were 20 years old or younger at the start of the season.[2]
Ott was a six-time NL home run leader, in 1932, 1934, 1936–1938, and 1942. From 1928 through 1945, he led the New York Giants in home runs. This 18-season consecutive dominance is a record; no other player has ever led his team in more consecutive years in a single Triple Crown category. He was both the youngest player to hit 100 home runs and the first National Leaguer to hit 500 home runs. He passed Rogers Hornsby to become the all-time NL home run leader in 1937 and held that title until Willie Mays passed him in 1966.
Ott's 1940 Play Ball baseball card
Because of his power hitting, he was noted for reaching base via the base on balls (BB), or walk. He drew five walks in a game three times. He set the National League record for most walks in a doubleheader, with six, on October 5, 1929, and did it again on April 30, 1944. He tied an MLB record by drawing a walk in seven consecutive plate appearances (June 16–18, 1943). He also led the NL in walks six times: in 1929, 1931–1933, 1937, and 1942. He twice scored six runs in a game, on August 4, 1934 and on April 30, 1944. He is the youngest major leaguer to ever hit for the cycle. Ott was the first NL player to post eight consecutive 100-RBI seasons, and only Willie Mays, Sammy Sosa, Chipper Jones, and Albert Pujols have since joined him.
He used a batting style that was then considered unorthodox, lifting his forward (right) foot prior to impact. When McGraw first saw Ott's style, he called it "the most natural swing I've seen in years.[2] This style helped him hit for power. More recent players who used a similar style include Harold Baines and Kirby Puckett, as well as the Japanese home run king, Sadaharu Oh.
In 1943, all of his 18 home runs came at home; only two other players ever had a greater number of all-homefield home runs. Of Ott's 511 career home runs, 323 of them, or 63%, came at home.[3] Because of this, his home run record historically has been downplayed, suggesting that a 257-foot (78 m) foul line at the Polo Grounds resulted in higher numbers at home. Sportswriters often jokingly referred to him as the master of the "Chinese home run" as such short homers were called at the time; Ott would often respond by noting that if it was so easy to inflate his homer totals by hitting over that fence, all other hitters in the league would be doing it.[4]
As a balance, the Polo Grounds had the deepest power alleys in baseball. Also, he hit more career home runs in foreign stadiums than any other National League hitter at the time of his retirement. In some of his better seasons, he hit more homers on the road than in the Polo Grounds.
There may be reason to believe that he was a better hitter than his record suggests because of differences in National League and American League ball specifications.[5] Those differences are considered the greatest in the history of the game and made it considerably harder for National League hitters to achieve home runs.
Ott was also a skilled fielder. He was a master at playing balls that bounced off the fences at the Polo Grounds, allowing him to garner 26 assists in 1929, his first full season as a full-time player. He would never even approach that figure again, as baserunners quickly realized it was far too risky to run on balls hit in Ott's direction.[2]
During the prime of Ott's career, 11 seasons from 1931–1941, American League batters averaged 21% more home runs—peaking at 41% more home runs—than their National League counterparts. Babe Ruth and Jimmie Foxx, contemporaries, and both American League players, were the only batters to surpass Ott's record during this time.
Post-season[edit]
Ott played in the World Series in 1933, 1936, and 1937, winning in 1933. He hit two home runs during the 1933 series. In Game 1, he had four hits, including a two-run home run in the first inning. In Game 5, he drove in the series-winning run with two outs in the top of the 10th, driving a pitch into the center-field bleachers. In the 1936 World Series, Ott had seven hits and one home run. In 1937, he had 4 hits and 1 home run. Playing in 16 World Series games, Ott batted .295 (18-for-61) with eight runs, four home runs and ten RBI.
Career statistics[edit]
In his 22-season career, Ott batted .304 with 511 home runs, 1,860 RBIs, 1,859 runs, 2,876 hits, 488 doubles, 72 triples, 89 stolen bases, 1,708 BB, .414 on-base percentage and a .533 slugging average. Defensively, he recorded a .974 fielding percentage. He hit better than .300 10 times in his major league career. At the time of his retirement, he had hit 200 more home runs than the next-highest National Leaguer.
Managerial career[edit]
After longtime teammate Bill Terry retired as manager in 1941, he named Ott as player-manager. Ott continued as a regular player for another five years, and remained productive at the plate for much of that time. In 1942, he led the league in home runs, runs scored, and walks. He finished second in home runs and third in slugging percentage in 1944. In 1945, he hit .308 and finished tied for fourth in home runs.[2]
On the second day of the 1946 season, a day after hitting what would be his final career home run, he injured his knee while diving for a fly ball.[2] The injury effectively ended his career; he only appeared in 29 more games for the rest of 1946, and retired after making only four cameo appearances in 1947. He stayed on as manager until Leo Durocher replaced him midway through the 1948 season.
The Giants' best finish during Ott's tenure was third place in 1942, one of only three times he finished with a winning record. However, his 1943 and 1944 teams were decimated by World War II, which saw a number of established players drafted into the military.[2]
It was in reference to Ott's supposedly easy-going managing style that then-Dodgers manager Durocher made the oft-quoted and somewhat out-of-context comment, "Nice guys finish last!" Ott was the first manager to be ejected from both games of a doubleheader, when the Giants lost both games to the Pittsburgh Pirates on June 9, 1946.[6]
Ott spent the remaining two-and-a-half years of his contract helping his former teammate Carl Hubbell run the Giants' farm system. In 1951, Ott succeeded Chuck Dressen as manager of the Oakland Oaks of the Pacific Coast League, leading the club to an 80–88 finish (seventh place). In 1952, the Oaks finished 104-76 under Ott, good for second place in the PCL.[7]
MLB honors[edit]
Mel Ott's number 4 was retired by the New York Giants in 1949.
Ott was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1951 with 87.2% of the vote. His number "4" was also retired by the Giants in 1949, and it is posted on the facade of the upper deck in the left field corner of Oracle Park.
He was a National League All-Star for 11 consecutive seasons, from 1934 through 1944 (All-Star selections only began in 1933; Ott had at least three All-Star caliber seasons prior to that, as well as in 1945, when MLB cancelled the 1945 contest and selections).[8]
He is one of only six National League players to spend a 20+ year career with one team (Cap Anson, Stan Musial, Willie Stargell, Tony Gwynn, and Craig Biggio being the others).
He was a nominee for the Major League Baseball All-Century Team.
Broadcasting career[edit]
Ott (left) in the broadcast booth with Van Patrick, 1957
Ott spent the 1953 and 1954 seasons out of baseball for the first time since coming to New York in 1925. In 1955, he joined the Mutual radio network to recreate baseball games. From 1956 to 1958, Ott teamed with Van Patrick to broadcast the games of the Detroit Tigers on radio and television.
Ott was injured in an auto accident in Bay Saint Louis, Mississippi, in November 1958. He was transferred to a hospital in New Orleans, where he died a week later at the age of 49.[9] He was interred in Metairie Cemetery. Ott died in a similar manner to two other New York Giants Hall of Famers: Frankie Frisch in 1973 and Carl Hubbell in 1988.
Legacy[edit]
Ott is remembered in his hometown of Gretna, where a park is named in his honor. Since 1959, the National League has honored the league's annual home run champion with the Mel Ott Award.[10][11] In the 1989 film Field of Dreams, Ott was one of several deceased players portrayed in farmer Ray Kinsella's Iowa cornfield. In 2006, Ott was featured on a United States postage stamp, as one of a block of four honoring "Baseball Sluggers" — the others being Mickey Mantle, Hank Greenberg, and Roy Campanella. In announcing the stamps, the U.S. Postal Service stated, "Remembered as powerful hitters who wowed fans with awesome and often record-breaking home runs, these four men were also versatile players who helped to lead their teams to victory and set impressive standards for subsequent generations."[12] Ott is also remembered in the name of the Little League of Amherst, New York. The Mel Ott Little League began in 1959, named for Ott soon after his death.
Ott's name frequently appears in crossword puzzles, on account of its letter combination and brevity.[13]
Ott is mentioned in the poem "Line-Up for Yesterday" by Ogden Nash, first published in Sport magazine in January 1949:
O is for Ott
Of the restless right foot.
When he leaned on the pellet,
The pellet stayed put.[14]

Chennai, June 4 (IANS) The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Finance will be awarded the Sansad Ratna Award 2018 for its outstanding performance, a top official said on Monday.
"We have decided to honour Departmentally Related Standing Committees with Sansad Ratna Award based on the criteria like the reports presented, numbers of sittings and number of subjects selected and others," K. Srinivasan, Founder, Prime Point Foundation, told IANS.
The Foundation has been awarding top performing MPs since 2010.
"In the Indian Parliamentary system, the Standing Committees plays an important role in studying the subjects and guiding the government. Since, we wanted to create awareness about Standing Committees, we have introduced the Award under this category," Srinivasan added.
The selection of award winners was done by a Jury Committee consisting of eminent parliamentarians.
"M. Veerappa Moily, Chairman of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Finance will receive the award at a function to be held in Indian Institute of Technology-Madras on Saturday," Srinivasan said.
Former West Bengal Governor M. K. Narayanan and former Chief Election Commissioner of India T. S. Krishnamurthy will present the awards.
According to Srinivasan, during the 16th Lok Sabha till date, the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Finance had selected 67 subjects, held 84 sittings and presented 60 reports as per the data culled from the Lok Sabha website.
There are 24 Departmentally Related Standing Committees in Parliament. Sixteen are known as Lok Sabha Committees and eight as Rajya Sabha Committees.
"We could get data only for 16 Lok Sabha Committees. We could not get data for the Rajya Sabha Committees," Srinivasan said.
In addition, seven MPs (six from Lok Sabha and one from Rajya Sabha) will also be honoured with the Sansad Ratna Award for their individual performances.
He said the names of the seven MPs will be announced on Friday.
This is the only award on behalf of the civil society to honour achievers in Parliament, Srinivasan added.

Brexit and Hell's special places
by Miles Saltiel
article from Monday 11, February, 2019
MY REGULAR READERS have been asking what I make of current events. Last week, the President of the European Commission, Donald Tusk, stagily expressed his own frustrations with remarks about a "special place in Hell" for British Brexiteers. No doubt, Hell has many special places, possibly including one for the promoters of Project Fear, now attracting widespread derision and laying the ground for something akin to the several generations of distrust between the American government and people, following Vietnam and Watergate. Possibly also for those who have tried to intimidate legislators by associating the Irish backstop so roundly with the Good Friday Agreement. This is set to unravel as one of the Agreement's progenitors, the Nobel laureate David Trimble, goes to court to prevent this aspect of the Withdrawal Agreement (WA) taking effect. This will turn attention to the economics: Ireland is acutely vulnerable to Brexit and the EU wishes to avoid a claim under Article 340 of the TFEU (Lisbon Treaty), which provides that:
"Inthe case of non-contractual liability, the Union shall, in accordance with the general principles common to the laws of the Member States, make good any damage caused by its institutions or by its servants in the performance of their duties."
At risk of Donald Tusk's infernal consignment, let us offer our own heroic simplification. To our surprise, the Prime Minister's doggedness means that some sort of version of her deal remains in play. But it may well not happen. Before we come to these central alternatives, let us briefly dispense with the less likely outcomes.
We can be absolutely certain that there will not be a general election – or at any rate not soon enough to affect the WA. There is no time for it; the EU will not permit an extension of the deadline to allow it, as it grants them no greater certainty; and however dogged, May cannot realistically hope to lead the Tories into another such campaign.
We can be almost as certain that there will not be a second referendum, for similar reasons to the above. Once again there is no time for it; and the EU will not permit an extension to allow for it, as it too grants them no greater certainty. In addition, unless there is an extraordinary alteration in parliamentary arithmetic, there is insufficient support in the Commons for it.
There will be no extension of the timetable, or in any event not more than a few weeks to dot "i's" and cross "t's" if a deal is truly imminent. No one wishes to get the Brits involved in the European elections. And even a few weeks is unlikely as if the Brits asked for it, the EU would want something in return. To put it mildly, the mood in Westminster and much of the country is unreceptive to such requests.
Unless the next Commons vote shows a very different character to the last, there will be no commitment at this stage to a "Norway" option, Customs Union or the like, including Corbyn's most recent formulation of BRINO. Quite apart from the fact that none of these reflects the referendum outcome, it is premature to address them as they relate to the eventual end state rather than the WA itself. Ventilating one or the other on the part of May's Cabinet (less so May herself) represents manoeuvres to get the Commons in a mood to support her deal as the lesser evil, ie, dishing the Malthouse Compromise, best seen as a graceful acknowledgment of "no deal".
And so to the alternatives actually before us…
May's deal is universally unloved, but she has more-or-less succeeded in defining objections to it down into the backstop, that is overlooking the pragmatic complaint about the unconditional payment and the principled objection to the prolonged survival of EU jurisdiction.
May is hoping for a last-minute fig-leaf from the EU, enabling her to proclaim victory to an exhausted Commons. This cannot be ruled out: after all it is Brussels' way of doing business. May hopes to peel off enough die-hards from the ERG, to combine with Labour votes – bought with regulatory promises or ready money – to get her over the line. Certainly, Europe is deft at legalistic manoeuvres intended to paper over differences.
No deal simply means "not May's deal". Immediate deals would have to be made both bilaterally to keep goods flowing and at EU level to (eg) maintain Member-States' access to London's financial markets. Because there will be much to be agreed, the UK has every reason to hang on to the money surrendered in May's deal as a bargaining counter. This should remind us that these excruciations will not end on 29 March (or as extended). Even if there is no deal, look out for those arguing for carrying on "as if" the deal had been agreed, in particular handing the money over.
Regardless, Remainers will become Returners, as well as beefing up their campaigns for the weakest form of separation from the EU's structures. Like diehard socialists, those promoting the Norway option, staying in the Customs Union or the Single Market, won't go away until relations with the EU are definitively re-specified. Although a draft UK-EU FTA is now available, this is more likely to become the matter for an eventual general election. First however, May would have to leave the scene, while the two parties set out their stalls, courting the risk of splitting.
It is hard not to share Mr Tusk's frustrations, though it would be pleasant if he had sufficient humility to acknowledge the part which he and his colleagues have played in promoting the current pass. If no deal occurs it will be a colossal failure of statecraft, in Brussels as much as in London. But at a time when France and Italy are sending each other's ambassadors home, Germany is sliding into recession, and the Continent's flagship industry, car manufacturing, is going on to life-support, the EU may well feel that there are reasons to tone down the hellish rhetoric and prepare for pragmatic solutions.

Q: Python SSL server to provide intermediate CA certificates I am using the Python (2.7) SSL module to write some server code like follows:
ssock = ssl.wrap_socket(sock, ca_certs="all-ca.crt", keyfile="server.key", certfile="server.crt", server_side=True, ssl_version=ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1)
The 'all-ca.crt' contains the signing CA certificate and the root CA certificate:
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
... (signing CA)...
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
... (root CA)...
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

The documentation for the Python SSL module states:

In general, if you are using SSL3 or TLS1, you don't need to put the
  full chain in your "CA certs" file; you only need the root
  certificates, and the remote peer is supposed to furnish the other
  certificates necessary to chain from its certificate to a root
  certificate.

And this is my experience having written SSL servers in C. It doesn't seem to work here though. If I write a client that uses just the root certificate in its wrap_socket() call:
csock = ssl.wrap_socket(sock, ca_certs="root-ca.crt", cert_reqs=ssl.CERT_REQUIRED, ssl_version=ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1)
then an exception is raised:

ssl.SSLError: [Errno 1] _ssl.c:499: error:14094418:SSL
  routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:tlsv1 alert unknown ca

If instead I pass all-ca.crt to the client ca_certs argument, then everything works as expected, but this is inconvenient at the client side and should not be required.
Is there any way I can tell the server side that it needs to provide the intermediate CA certificates to the client on negotiation?

A: In the server side, the ca_certs option is used to verify client's certificate. (If CERT_REQUIRED set to be True, the server will ask the client provides its certificate).
In fact, the CA's certificates in ca_certs are not sent to clients. The server will just send its own certificate to clients. But you can put all intermediate certificates and your server's certificate into your server.crt. For example, using
cat server.crt intermediate-ca.crt root-ca.crt > server-chain.crt
to produce the chain.

Cooper, Gary (07 May 1901–13 May 1961), film actor, was born Frank James Cooper in Helena, Montana, the son of Charles Henry Cooper, a lawyer, and Alice Louise Brazier. The actor, beloved for playing the all-American hero, was raised on a 600-acre ranch near the Big Belt Mountains at a bend in the Missouri River by parents born in Britain. Cooper unreliably attended a one-room schoolhouse his father built on the property and much preferred to play with local Indians and ranch hands. He sometimes swam naked in Andy's Creek with his first girlfriend, Mary Three Feet, standing by. This horrified his mother, who insisted that he and his brother Arthur be schooled in Helena. Cooper's truancy forced the family into a radical course. The boys were enrolled in the Dunstable School in Bedfordshire, England, in 1911 under the watchful eyes of their paternal grandparents. Charles and Alice Cooper remained in Helena, where Charles served as a justice on the state supreme court. During his three years in England their son earned a reputation as headstrong and voluble....

Is This the Year of Women of Color in Politics?
Because the year of W.O.C. is long overdue.
Four women. That's all it took to christen 1992 the "Year of the Woman" in politics. Patty Murray, Dianne Feinstein, Barbara Boxer and Carol Moseley Braun. Three of the four? White women. The one woman of color — Moseley Braun — has since retired.
Considering that a tiny boost in representation counts so much when dealing with a highly underrepresented group, it might be fair to call 2015 the Year of Women of Color in Politics. Doesn't quite roll off the tongue. But while we wait for someone to come up with a better name, let's review the facts. Perhaps for the first time, this year more than a few female politicos of color are being touted as candidates for major political office and are close-to-household names. South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley — a VP candidate for the GOP if ever we saw one. California Attorney General Kamala Harris, who might well replace Barbara Boxer. Utah Congresswoman Mia Love, the first black GOP House member. Loretta Lynch, whose confirmation as attorney general went on as long as a Ted Cruz filibuster.
The numbers show the increase is real. In the 13 years after 1992, some two-thirds of all women of color who have served in Congress were elected — it seems as though the Year of the Woman may really have jump-started something. Numbers from the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University show that just over 30 percent of the women serving in Congress today are of color. Women of color have, in fact, done an even better job of upping their numbers than white women, says Christine Sierra, a professor of political science at the University of New Mexico. And it's hard to deny that 2014 was a boom year for conversations about race and gender, even if it came about for unfortunate reasons, between killings of black men and discussion of sexual assault everywhere you looked.
Women are really the people who have been at the table forever … doing real grass-roots work.
"My presence before you symbolizes a new era in American politics." That's what the late Shirley Chisholm said in 1972 when she announced her candidacy for the presidency, making her the first black woman in a major party to take a shot. Chisholm, the first African-American woman in Congress — elected in 1968 — might well have been Hillary Clinton, for all the work she did to explain herself as a proud black female who was simultaneously not running as The Black Woman Candidate.
Shirley Chisholm, first black female member of Congress, after her successful run for office.
Without diving into a giant pile of intersectional academic theory about what that would even mean, it is clear that women-of-color policymakers approach their work distinctly in a few concrete ways, says Kelly Dittmar, a professor of political science at Rutgers who works with the Center for American Women and Politics. Women of color are more likely to prioritize issues related to women, children and families, she says. That relates to more than you'd realize: For instance, think of the unaccompanied minors embroiled in the immigration debate. Or criminal justice issues related to parent-child visitations.
Statistically, she adds, women are more likely to "work together, even across aisles." And crucially, though women do focus on those familial issues, "that doesn't mean they all agree with one another." A rise in women of color in politics doesn't necessarily mean a bunch of pro-choice, pink-sneakered ladies. "Women are really the people who have been at the table forever, community organizing, doing real grass-roots work," Dittmar says. And that's what we're seeing: the "grass roots bubbling up," says Tonya Lovelace-Davis, CEO of the Women of Color Network.
Of course, plenty still gives. Women of color still make up a mere fraction of overall American representation — just under 5 percent of Congress and 10 percent of governors. And to call something the Year Of Anything risks overestimating progress and pretending to be race-and-gender blind, Sierra warns. Lovelace-Davis worries of backlash if we call it THE year too early.
Look ahead, though, says Sierra. America's population of people of color is growing; whites will soon be a minority — experts guess as soon as 2044. And then there's something more interesting at play too: globalization. Change is afoot all across Europe, between South Asia and Dubai, between Peru and Brazil. France, never previously known for political gender equity, whose female and minority representation jumped in 2012. Or Marina Silva, who's of African descent and who made a legitimate run for the Brazilian presidency. Karen Bird, professor of political science at McMaster University in Canada, points out that, in immigrant-wary Europe, "women children of immigrants are less scary than men children of immigrants." Even there, though, she notes that many of the "foreign" types are safe, pretty, secular.
Happening or not, we amend: Call the Year of the W.O.C. the Long Overdue Year of the W.O.C.

Antique Ruby and Diamond Crescent Moon Boxed Brooch by Carrington & Co.
This exceptional item holds 28 old mine cut diamonds that have an estimated total weight of 1.20 carats, they are E-G color and all are beautiful unique cuts and shapes. I love the high crowns and larges culets! The diamonds are VS1-I1 clarity. All lovely with some that have girdle inclusions called "indented naturals and naturals". I really like this type of diamond inclusions because they are commonly seen in antique diamonds, as the cutters tried to retain as much weight as possible with shaping the diamonds for the customized item. The 22 old mine oval and antique cushion cut rubies have an approximate total weight 2.00 carats. The rubies are all natural gemstones without treatment. This brooch is in very nice condition with little to no wear. The original box has the initials D.M.O. and inside top shows the maker and says "Carrington & Co. Ltd. 130 Regent Street" with a crown and "By Appointment".
Carrington & Co. (1880 – 1922)
"John Bodman Carrington was a British silversmith and jeweller. In 1870s he worked in the London branch of the Birmingham firm G. R. Collins & Co, at 130 Regent Street. In 1880 he incorporated the company and entered his first mark at the Goldsmiths Hall of London together with his partners John Carrington, William Carrington Smith and George Budford. The company specialised in high quality trophy cups and tableware, dinner and tea and coffee sets and supplied restaurants, ships and hotels. Nevertheless it also produced fine jewellery such as brooches, cufflinks and lockets, that were very much sought after by royals all over Europe. The company obtained Royal Warrants from Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, Edward VII, George V and the Russian Tsars. Among the firms who retailed Carrington & Co. it is worth to mention Tiffany & Co. and Cartier. In 1903 John Bodman Carrington was named Prime Warden of the Goldsmiths Company. Three years later he retired and W. C. Smith carried on the business as a sole partner. In 1922 the firm was incorporated by Collingwood." – https://www.pushkinantiques.com/carrington-co
