Another View: Things you can't say in elections
Tom Fletcher muses on the election and the big issues at stake
May. 15, 2013 2:00 p.m.
B.C. Views
Another election campaign has come and gone, with the ritual posturing of political parties and most news media searching for anything they can portray as a conflict.
Now comes the time to wonder why not enough people cared, or informed themselves about the real problems of running this $40 billion corporation called the B.C. government.
Why would they, when the whole thing is presented as a combination of beauty contest and sports event, with endless discussion of polls and "attack ads" and who's ahead and what's the score?
Again we have seen the truth of former prime minister Kim Campbell's observation that elections are no time to talk about serious issues. Indeed, there are some things you can't speak of at all.
Peace River North MLA Pat Pimm caused a stir at a candidates' debate when he referred to constituents' concerns that disabled children can cause difficulties in classrooms.
He didn't say classrooms should be segregated, although that's a discussion worth having. He didn't deny the need for more support for special needs kids. But his opponents immediately portrayed it that way, and media seized on the conflict despite the factual inaccuracy.
West Vancouver-Capilano MLA Ralph Sultan had a similar experience when he referred to his study of poverty in that affluent area. He noted that there was a high correlation between single parenthood and kids in poverty. Picking on single mums, his detractors exclaimed, and that's what got reported.
The B.C. Conservatives kicked their Boundary-Similkameen candidate out of the party because he wrote an article saying women shouldn't choose to be single mothers.
You can talk about child poverty, as long as you only discuss it based on federal statistics that do not measure poverty. Christy Clark started doing this as soon as she became B.C. Liberal leader, one of several issues where she dispensed with the facts and tried to copy a popular NDP stance instead.
She was all about families, which can of course be single people, single parents or pretty well anything you want them to be.
In fact the decline of the traditional family and the abdication of responsibility by many parents, fathers in particular, are central factors in the problem of poor and neglected children. But you can't talk about that, at least not during elections.
Whole areas of political discussion have devolved into euphemisms that are chosen because they can't be defined. Everybody's in favour of "affordable housing," for instance. What they won't admit is that this is code for subsidized housing, because then they would have to talk about how much the subsidy is, and who has to pay for it.
Good grief, that might raise the question of whether the state should be taking money away from some people and giving it to others so they can live where they otherwise couldn't afford to live.
We even have rules preventing the media from reporting polls on election day. People might be influenced by this, you see. If you tell them Party X is far ahead, they might stay home and mow the lawn instead. If you tell them someone is making a comeback, they might change their vote because they want to be on the winning side, or the one that has "momentum." Just like any other sport.
The news media are steadily losing influence with the public. There are many factors involved, including the vast array of information sources that are available at most people's fingertips.
Another factor is treating the public like they're idiots.

...now that Trump is gone.
Check this out: Was the FBI Manipulated by the Democratic Party?
Durham's investigation has taken a different approach. His last two indictments suggest that the FBI was not a villain but a victim, conned by Democratic operatives to pursue bogus investigations into the Trump campaign.
In September, Durham indicted Michael Sussman, a lawyer who represented the Clinton campaign in 2016. That indictment alleges that Sussman failed to disclose to the FBI that he was representing the Clinton campaign when he presented evidence alleging that servers for the Trump campaign had unusual communications with servers from the Russian Alfa Bank. Sussman, whose lawyers have denied their client misled the FBI, also shopped the story to journalists.
Like Sussman, Danchenko is also charged with hiding his relationship to a prominent Democrat in interviews with the FBI about the dossier. In this case, the prominent Democrat is described as "public relations executive 1." He was a state chairman for Bill Clinton's 1992 and 1996 presidential campaigns, and in 2016 "actively campaigned and participated in calls and events as a volunteer on behalf of Hillary Clinton." The P.R. executive's clients also included the Russian Federation and a Russian state-owned energy company.
This unnamed executive is Charles Dolan Jr., a senior strategist at KGlobal, his lawyer has now confirmed. Dolan did not return an email requesting comment.
According to the indictment, Dolan was likely the source for several items in the dossier. This undermines one of the central claims in the initial coverage of the dossier — that it was well-sourced Kremlin intelligence from a respected professional. It turns out that much of it was rumor conveyed in part by a Democratic partisan.
Can you imagine WaPo putting this story up during or before the Presidential election? Lol.
Anyway, Durham is just slowly pulling every string and it's looking very much like the vaunted Steele Dossier was cooked up by Clintonistas and fed to a clueless Russian, who then offered up the info to "super spy" Steele as if it had come from sources in Moscow.

Spain pays homage to its fallen heroes.
byMuhammad Abdul Wasay
The royal palace in Madrid bore a somber look as a memorial to honor the victims of Covid-19 took place. The memorial was officially held barely 3 weeks after the end of the state of emergency in Spain. Spain has been one of the worst hit countries, having suffered 28,413 casualties and still seeing a rise in daily infections. The event was a break from the usual duties and a way to pay homage to people of various professions and backgrounds, including healthcare professionals, who died due to the pandemic while performing their duties.
Amongst the attendees were the World Health Organization's executives, European Council President Charles Michel, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, and the Spanish Royal family. Spain's king Felipe VI spoke at the occasion saying, "This act cannot heal the pain felt by so many families at not being at the side of their loved ones in their final hours […] but what it can do is pay tribute to their lives, to their contribution to our society, to their memories". The king also met Prime Minister Sanchez. Flowers were placed near cauldrons by the attendees as an orchestra played Samuel Barber's song, "Adagio for Strings".

WFDF Applies To Get 'Flying Disc' Into 2020 Olympics
Ultimate has a non-negligible chance at being in the Olympics in just five years.
June 12, 2015 by Charlie Eisenhood in News with 7 comments
Could we see ultimate in the Summer Olympics in just five years? It's not an impossibility.
The World Flying Disc Federation applied for 'Flying Disc' — the discipline of which ultimate is a part — to be included in the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics after an invitation from the local organizing committee.
Major International Olympic Committee reforms have already significantly improved the odds of ultimate and other niche sports to one day join the Olympics. While ultimate is not yet even fully recognized by the IOC (the committee will vote in just over a month whether to raise WFDF from provisional to full recognition), the sport has a chance of reaching the 2020 games through a newly created mechanism: the ability for the host city to add events to that year's Games.
Flying disc was among 26 IOC-recognized sports that applied for inclusion in 2020, including the heavy favorite baseball, karate, squash, bowling, korfball, tug of war, and many more.
"In the end, I have no idea what the final decision will be," said WFDF President Robert "Nob" Rauch. "I would guess that baseball — a monstrous sport in Japan — is likely to get selected."
Although WFDF applied broadly as 'flying disc' and not 'ultimate,' it is likely that only ultimate was included on the application. The criteria for adding an event via the host city process include having a history of world championship events. Ultimate has a long history there; many other popular disc sports, like disc golf, do not. Rauch declined to comment on what events were on the WFDF application, citing non-disclosure agreements.
Flying Disc does have a fighting chance of being selected. Ultimate is popular and well-known in Japan thanks to a strong local governing body. The historic success of the Japanese teams — the women's team won gold at the World Championships just two years ago, for example — also improves the odds.
"I think we have a far higher probability [of being included in the Olympics] than I ever would have imagined two years ago," said Rauch. He estimated the odds of 'flying disc' being added for Tokyo 2020 at less than 50%, but certainly more than 1%. "I don't think it's negligible," he said.
Considering the criteria for new sports added through this program — getting the local country excited, having a place to test out new events to keep the Games fresh and interesting — along with the broader IOC goals of having better gender equity and youth appeal, ultimate is surprisingly well-positioned.
Amazingly, Flying Disc would not be eligible for standard Olympic inclusion yet, because WFDF does not have 75 member countries meeting the minimum criteria for local governance and sufficient membership. But that standard is waived under the host country provision.
If flying disc were to be selected for inclusion in Tokyo 2020, it would not mean that ultimate is a permanent fixture in the Olympics. It would be a one-time-only scenario. However, a good showing in Tokyo would significantly brighten the long-term outlook.
The Tokyo organizing committee will release a shortlist of sports on June 22nd, starting the second phase of the application process. Although there is no cap on the number of events that could be added, it is expected that it will be no more than three. Final confirmation on the sports to be added is expected to take place in August 2016 at the IOC meeting in Brazil.

Courtney Hicks currently leads the junior ladies after the Short Program at the 2011 AT&T U.S. Figure Skating Championships.
The junior ladies short program competition had to wait until the very last competitor to find its leader, as fifteen year-old Courtney Hicks from Chino Hills, Calif., skated twelfth in starting order and stole the show in Greensboro Monday night.
Hicks opened her program with a gorgeous triple flip-triple toe loop combination, while wearing one of Sasha Cohen's hand-me-down costumes.
The similarities to Cohen do not end with Hicks's choice of competition wear. The plucky high school student also used Andre Rieu's Dark Eyes as her music, one of Cohen's signature pieces.
Hicks' was understandably excited after her program, earning a total of 60.84 points, and her coach was equally proud of his young student.
Finishing in second place with 53.08 points is Katarina Kulgeyko, a fourteen-year-old from San Diego, Calif.
Kulgeyko opened her La Cumparsita short program with a nice triple flip-double toe combination and then a triple loop. High levels on her spins solidified her standing near the top of the leader board heading in to the Wednesday's freeskate.
Fourteen-year-old Lauren Dinh finished in third place with a strong performance to music from Charlie Chaplin films.
Dinh also skated a clean program, landing a triple Lutz-double toe loop combination, finishing with 52.51 points, two points ahead of the fourth place finisher Mary Beth Marley.
Marley, the fifteen year-old who has recently teamed up with former US Pairs Champion Rockne Brubaker, made a slight error on her solo triple loop jump and finished with 50.55 points.
McKinzie Daniels, ninth at last year's Nationals finished in fifth place, while twelve-year-old Polina Edmunds finished in sixth place.

Lessons for Teachers #8: The Performance
Quote: Pepys on the Lord's Day 13 Nov. 1664
Marxist University Press?
Quote: The Ordinary Course of Latin
Perhaps, "Carolus illuminatio mea" ?
A few days ago I received via email and advertisement from Oxford University Press about their 50% Holiday Sale. That email came to me out of the blue, by the way, the first to have arrived at my inbox from OUP since I ordered my Oxford Latin Dictionary and Liddell Scott Greek Lexicon in college over a decade ago. Anyway I perused the titles and quickly noticed a particular bent.
Take a few examples along with the descriptions from OUP, which are often hilariously cliche-ridden. I'm not sure whether we can handle any more "explorations" or the earth any more "ground-breaking."

Deep Equality in an Era of Religious Diversity by Lori G. Beaman
Rigid identity imaginings, especially religious identities, block our vision to the complexities of social life and press us into corners that trap us in identities that we often ourselves do not recognize, want, or know how to escape.
Beethoven & Freedom by Daniel K. L. Chua
By exploring the musical philosophy of Theodor W. Adorno through a wide range of the composer's music, Beethoven and Freedom arrives at a markedly different vision of freedom. Author Daniel KL Chua suggests that a more human and fragile concept of freedom can be found in the music that has less to do with the autonomy of the will and its stoical corollary than with questions of human relation, donation, and a yielding to radical alterity.
The Return of Ordinary Capitalism: Neoliberalism, Precarity, Occupy by Sanford F. Schram
As Frances Fox Piven and Richard Cloward argued in the early seventies, in a capitalist economy, social welfare policies alternatingly serve political and economic ends as circumstances dictate. In moments of political stability, governments emphasize a capitalistic work ethic (even if it means working a job that will leave one impoverished); when times are less politically stable, states liberalize welfare policies to recreate the conditions for political acquiescence. Sanford Schram argues in this new book that each shift produces its own path dependency even as it represents yet another iteration of what he (somewhat ironically) calls "ordinary capitalism," where the changes in market logic inevitably produce changes in the structure of the state. In today's ordinary capitalism, neoliberalism is the prevailing political-economic logic that has contributed significantly to unprecedented levels of inequality in an already unequal society.
Black Rights/White Wrongs: The Critique of Racial Liberalism by Charles W. Mills
Mills argues that rather than bracket as an anomaly the role of racism in the development of liberal theory, we should see it as shaping that theory in fundamental ways. As feminists have urged us to see the dominant form of liberalism as a patriarchal liberalism, so too Mills suggests we should see it as a racialized liberalism. It is unsurprising, then, if contemporary liberalism has yet to deliver on the recognition of black rights and the correction of white wrongs.
Limits to Globalization The Disruptive Geographies of Capitalist Development by Eric Sheppard
...globalizing capitalism tends to reproduce social and spatial inequality; poverty's persistence is due to the ways in which wealth creation in some places results in impoverishment elsewhere.

Appeals to higher law became politically impotent: overly rational or overly sentimental. Recovering the Black natural law tradition provides a powerful resource for confronting police violence, mass incarceration, and today's gross racial inequities.
Capitalism: Competition, Conflict, Crises by Anwar Shaikh
Competition and conflict are intrinsic features of modern societies, inequality is persistent, and booms and busts are recurrent outcomes throughout capitalist history. State intervention modifies modified these patterns but does not abolish them. My book is an attempt to show that one can explain these and many other observed patterns as results of intrinsic forces that shape and channel outcomes. Social and institutional factors play an important role, but at the same time, the factors are themselves limited by the dominant forces arising from "gain-seeking" behavior, of which the profit motive is the most important. (Description via http://www.anwarshaikhecon.org/)
Two books seem non-Marxist:
Pieces of Tradition: An Analysis of Contemporary Tonal Music by Daniel Harrison
Jenkins of Mexico: How a Southern Farm Boy Became a Mexican Magnate by Andrew Paxman
Plenty of the books seem apolitical, but I can't account for the lack of non-leftist politics. I don't know, either, just what the apparent disparity might indicate. Perhaps left-leaning books are disproportionately printed at OUP, perhaps non-Marxist authors are being turned away or are not sought, perhaps non-Marxists authors seek publication elsewhere, or maybe the liberal stuff is just what's new, popular, put forward, or on sale.
I'm not sure that any of that is good news.
Thank you for taking note of my book. I describe myself as a centrist, not a conservative. My biography Jenkins of Mexico is as much as possible an impartial, warts-and-all account. Jenkins built Mexico's biggest fortune, but he was an entrepreneur and a crony-capitalist in equal measure.

Thank you for taking the time comment and for the details about your premises, which surely commend you and your book. I regret to have given it short shrift in this post and to have painted it (and indirectly, you) with a broad brush. I should have said "non Marxist" and not conservative, both because not all non-Marxists are conservatives, but not all conservatives are pro business.) I'll gladly emend my statement.
At any rate I welcome a warts-and-all account, certainly far more than the Marxist or blind pro-business cheer-leading to which ideologues are prone.

Longitudinal Study Shows Significant Fast ForWord Gains Endure Over Time
Home › Blog › Longitudinal Study Shows Significant Fast ForWord Gains Endure Over Time
Oct 6, 2011 by Melissa Agocs
Every spring, the Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests, abbreviated CRCT, are administered to students in Georgia. The CRCT is designed to measure how well students acquire the skills and knowledge described in the Georgia Performance Standards.
Students are tested in reading, English/language arts and mathematics. This summary will concentrate on the reading results from the Clarke County School District in Georgia. The CRCT is given every spring to all students in grades 1-8, and the students included in this study were first through eighth graders during the time of the study.
A longitudinal study is a type of study that follows the same subjects over time. Clarke County students who used the Fast ForWord products generally started with the Fast ForWord ®Language or Fast ForWord ®Literacy series, with students then progressing through the Fast ForWord ®Reading series. Students started on the products during different years, with some starting as early as the 2006-2007 school year, and others starting aslate as the 2010-2011 school year.
The first wave of Fast ForWord participants at Clarke County started using the products in the fall of 2006 and made statistically significant improvements on the spring 2007 CRCT with continued improvements in 2008 and the following years. Students in the second wave started using the products in the fall of 2007 and made statistically significant improvements on the spring 2008 CRCT.
After a third group started in 2008 school year, the group's CRCT scores significantly increased and then continued to go up. Similarly, students who began using the products in 2009 and 2010 also started to show increases in their reading scores after Fast ForWord participation.
Each cohort exhibits a similar pattern in that after Fast ForWord participation started, on average, the group showed a steady increase in their CRCT reading scores with each passing year.
Looking at the students who started using Fast ForWord products in 2010, there was an increase in the percentage of students reaching reading proficiency, with 55% of students who were not proficient in 2010 crossing the proficiency threshold in 2011.
In addition to longitudinal results, data were also analyzed for certain demographic groups, including students who were receiving Special Education services and students with Limited English Proficiency. Both groups achieved statistically significant improvements on the CRCT Reading Test after Fast ForWord participation.
If you have questions on this study or any other Fast ForWord study, please feel free to contact our Customer Service Team.

1061 1070 1072 Collaborations Outfit WhereToGo
2 days in New York City: what to see and do.
It seems incredible but until last month I had never been to the Big Apple. The city that never sleeps had always fascinated me a lot, but I knew that sooner or later its time would come.
I didn't look for it but I wanted it so much and so in a cold and rainy May it happened.
And it couldn't have happened better: with my Lu (l) i hand in hand and a prelude to a road trip in true American style that left me with the enormous desire to come back again.
How to get to New York
Once again I had the pleasure and honor of flying with Norwegian. Officially my favorite low cost airline for intercontinental flights.
After the dedicated fast track (0 row for airport checks), we flew on a brand new Dreamliner Boing 787 from Rome Fiumicino to Newark.
8 hours of direct and super comfortable flight (to be low cost there is really room for your legs) and welcome in New Jersey.
Newark airport is about 1 hour drive from the center of New York, so an excellent solution as a point of arrival.
Moreover, given that the last stop of our journey was the Philadelphia countryside, this is the nearest airport (if it had been JFK we would have had to cross the whole city of NY).
2 days itinerary in the Big Apple
I open my eyes and the feeling is very strange. I slowly feel the adrenaline of the discovery that replaces sleep numbness.
I have a vague memory of a thousand lights shining in the sky of a night when the stars are eclipsed by thousands of messages that crowd the city even when everyone is asleep.
We wake up a little later to regain energy.
Times Square is completely transformed by day, but this is no less interesting and impactful.
I imagined it to be more chaotic, a bit like Shibuya, the heart of Tokyo, but I found it much more on a human scale than I expected.
The wonder instead remains intact and the expectations are not disappointed.
Let's go hunting for one of the many wonderful New York cafes where we can have breakfast and we find ourselves in Little Italy.
A curious stop for an Italian. Here is where to find all the iconic symbols of our country turned to extremes in the "American way".
The place I had chosen had no seats to sit on and so our breakfast becomes a real lunch.
With the metro, in fact, we move to Greenwich Village in a beautiful Mexican corner in the heart of the Carrie Bradshaw district: The Buchter's Daughter is a must-see address.
Super friendly atmosphere and cuisine that reminded me of an authentic piece of Mexico.
The inevitable stop to admire the famous house of the protagonist of Sex and The City.
Among other things, the West Village is truly one of the most livable areas of NY.
Another meter, another race. The desire to pay tribute to one of the symbolic places of our era: Ground Zero.
A white dove made by Calatrava symbolizes the purity and innocence of those who are ignorant of everything, one day he never returned home from work.
It is a mandatory step to leave a small piece of heart here in respect and honor. You will never forget the flow of water, where life once flowed.
With a heavy heart and a crying sky we move towards Brooklyn.
We walked through the 2.3 km of pedestrian wooden walkway that looks at Manhattan moving away slowly. From here you can feel the frenzy of the metropolis fade away at every step until you reach DUMBO, the place for the customary photo in Brooklyn.
What I wear:
Skirt: Zara
Leather jacket: Mango
Shirt: H&M
Ankle Boots: Lorena Paggi
An icy wind accompanies our return to Manhattan, it's time for a drink in a wonderful company on one of the most beautiful rooftops in the city: Refinery RoofTop. The perfect place for a goodnight in true New York style.
One of the true New York rituals is breakfast at Magnolia Bakery. A pastry shop with more sales points that fills the air with the scent of its freshly baked dishes. Don't forget to try a banana pudding, it's heavenly!
We are ready to tackle a new day of walking and so many metro stops, we head to the Flatiron bulding.
Born to be one of the tallest buildings in NY and nicknamed immediately: "Iron from" for its particular architectural form.
In Madison Square, in addition to this building, there is also the first Shake Shack: one of the most famous and tasty fast food.
Trench: vintage Versace
Pants: Asos
Bag: vintage YSL
Shoes: Zara
It's Friday and the May sky in NY is particularly gray and the wind is cold.
We grew up with the idea of a Central Park, the green lung of the city, to admire and live hand in hand under an umbrella for two.
So the next step is this. Venture to the central pond and on sunny days, you can enjoy a rowing boat ride.
I understand why New Yorkers care about this park so much. Relieves the soul. From the concrete jungle of the city (without even a tree) you magically move on to an enchanted forest with the most incredible skyline ever.
For lunch we move to Soho; I can say this is officially my favorite area of the city. Vibrant, full of inspiration and with a mood that will make you feel catapulted into the future.
Incredible venues, street art and bits of every corner of the world.
Here I meet the creator of a project dedicated to women travelers: Dame Traveler.
Nastasia has an incredible story and it was a real honor to meet her, she gave me a lot of energy and charge. I hope soon to be able to tell you more about his project, there will be a surprise.
We share the incredible Israeli food (my favorite food in the world after the Italian one) from 12 Chairs Cafè.
Remember this address, it's the perfect place to immerse yourself in the local atmosphere!
I fall in love so much with Soho that we decide to continue exploring it after sunset.
We discover hidden gems like Laduree's secret garden and the enchanted tunnel of Nomo (one of the most beautiful restaurants I have ever been).
The sunset that gives way to the thousand lights of the city arrives quite late in May and gives us the opportunity to enjoy an aperitif at Nomo and then move on to one of the most exciting stages of the whole trip: Top of the Rock (don't forget to book your entry time).
From the top of the Rockfeller Center (about 70 floors) everything becomes clear and orderly: the avenues and the streets cut the city at right angles.
The view from up here is truly breathtaking and by all accounts to be preferred to that of the Empire State Building.
We used the NY CityPASS to access this attraction, you can find it HERE. With the NY City Pass you can save up to 42% by entering the best attractions of the Big Apple.
Unfortunately the time we had available to exploit it was not much, but in reality it lasted 9 days from the first use; I therefore recommend it to those who decide to enjoy this incredible metropolis for at least a week.
Among the attractions included?
Empire State Building (with double daily entry)
Top of The Rock Observation Deck or Guggenheim Museum
Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island or Circle Line Cruises
11 September Memorial and Museum or Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum
On Friday night NY becomes a real city of nightlife and we tried to find the places where people flock and not tourists by hunting for Speakeasies. Thus we find ourselves in Chinatown and specifically in the Basement.
You will be able to find it thanks to a giant Coca Cola distributor behind which there is an incredible place with lots of beer pong.
In true New York style we salute the city and our evening with a slice of pizza in one of the most famous venues: Prince.
Attention it's not real Italian pizza, but pepperoni pizza (with spicy salami). Trust me if I tell you that it's really worth it.
Our time in NYC ends here, but the desire to return is already immense. It is a city that will immediately make you aware of being in the center of the world and of evolution. It fills you with inspiration and gives that charge of wanting to do more and better and better to improve yourself and get closer and closer to the ideas and perspectives that each of us has in our drawer of future dreams and intentions.
See you soon NY! Road to Philadelphia !!!!

Tommie Agee Stats
Tommie Agee was born on Sunday, August 9, 1942, in Magnolia, Alabama. Agee was 20 years old when he broke into the big leagues on September 14, 1962, with the Cleveland Indians. His biographical data, year-by-year hitting stats, fielding stats, pitching stats (where applicable), career totals, uniform numbers, salary data and miscellaneous items-of-interest are presented by Baseball Almanac on this comprehensive Tommie Agee baseball stats page.
"Few Mets achieved a higher state of popularity than Tommie Agee, who succumbed to a massive heart attack that day (January 22, 2001) while leaving his New York City office. Agee was only 58, which made the news all the more unbearable. Although Agee played only a handful of his 12 seasons with the Mets and didn't start or finish his career with the franchise, he became a lasting symbol of the team's unexpected success in 1969. Displaying his vintage Gold Glove defense against the Baltimore Orioles, Agee made two acrobatic catches for the Mets in Game 3 of the 1969 World Series . The pair of catches helped the Mets win the game and take a two games-to-one lead in the Series. And let's not forget what Agee did during the regular season in 1969, when he hit a career-high 26 home runs as the team's everyday center fielder." - By Bruce Markusen in Tales from the New York Mets Dugout: A Collection of the Greatest Mets Stories Ever Told (Sports Publishing, 03/14/2012, Page 234)

Quick Links: Cycle Box Score
Did you know that when Tommie Agee finished his fifth big league season with a .273 batting average, twenty-two homers, and eighty-six RBIs, he was voted by Baseball Writers as the best Rookie of the Year , the third Chicago White Sox player to receive the honor?
Agee was the first Pale Hose outfielder to win Rookie of the Year , joining, a shortstop ( Luis Aparicio ) and a pitcher ( Gary Peters ). Agee was still able to win the prestigious baseball award because his plate appearances and time on roster still classified him as a rookie.
Baseball Moments | Agee Gets It Done | MLB Advanced Media, L.P.
The year after that legendary catch, Tommie Agee led all National League outfielders in putouts and range factor. He turned the second most double plays by a center fielder, led the NL in errors as well, but still received the highest fielding honor - the first New York Mets outfielder to win a Gold Glove Award .
Agee was the first first New York Mets player to score 100-or-more runs in the same season, finishing the 1970 campaign with a team record 107 runs scored, breaking the previous team record of 97 runs scored (set by Agee in 1969). That mark was broken first by Darryl Strawberry in 1987, and more than a dozen times since then. Do you know who holds the current Mets team record for runs scored in a season as of today? [ Answer ]

UnPacked Shorts – Would you bank with Google?
Would you bank with Facebook or Google? Well you may soon have the chance. In this UnPacked Short, Peter Franklin, Charlotte Pickles and Seb Giraud dicuss "TechFin", when finance is provided by technology companies. What will it mean when the tech giants who know everything about us are also managing our finances?


Azim Premji-backed iD Fresh Food, a ready-to-cook meals company that dominates the market for idli and dosa batter in southern India, has announced that it will focus only on organic food products.
The Bengaluru-based firm said the move will help it to address the modern day challenges of food sustainability. The phase-wise transition of iD Fresh products into organic items has started and will include flagship offerings such as idli and dosa batter and Malabar parotta.
Over the course of the year, other iD Fresh products, such as natural paneer, filter coffee decoction, wheat chapati and vada batter, will also join the organic group.
Musthafa PC, chief executive officer and co-founder of iD Fresh Food, said one of the triggers for this transformation was the death of his co-founder's father due to cancer, an event that led them to make organic products.
"The food we are eating is full of pesticides. We thought we should take up the challenge," said Musthafa.
The firm has been working on the technology and supply chain to become organic for the last two years. Musthafa said all of the company's ingredients and processes are compliant with organic certification norms – from suppliers to storage facilities and manufacturing units.
The firm raised Rs 150 crore in 2017 from PremjiInvest, the family investment arm of Wipro Chairman and billionaire Azim Premji, and it has been invested in building such facilities. "We are a profitable company," said Musthafa, who is expecting to achieve revenue of Rs 350 crore in FY20.
"Going organic is the direction of the consumer preference. They are actively looking for wellness (products)," said ace venture capitalist Kanwaljit Singh, one of the board members. "From our experience, consumers are willing to pay a slight premium for organic (items)," said Singh.
The organic products market in India is expected to touch Rs 10,000-12,000 crore by 2020, according to a report by Assocham and EY.
ID Fresh has evolved from making the batter in a 50-sq ft kitchen in Bengaluru to modernising food packaging and establishing its presence in 28 cities across India and the UAE. The company provides 55,000 kg of 'idli and dosa' batter per day, with other products like parottas, vada batter, chapati and paneer to more than 21,000 retail outlets.

OTTAWA, Nov 21: Expanding its list of approved covid vaccines, the Canadian Government has announced that it will allow international passengers who have been fully vaccinated with Indian Bharat Biotech's Covaxin from November 30. China's Sinopharm and Sinovac have also been included in the revised list.
Currently, Canada allows travellers vaccinated with Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, AstraZeneca or Johnson and Johnson only to enter the country. Those who "qualify as fully vaccinated travellers and who re-enter Canada within 72 hours of leaving, won't have to provide a pre-entry molecular test result." The vaccination should have been completed 14 days prior to travel.
"This will also apply to their accompanying children under 12, regardless of whether or not the children are vaccinated," the Government said.
Covaxin, approved by the WHO, has also been accepted by the UK from November 22.
The Government also announced that as of January 15, 2022, certain groups of travellers, who are currently exempt from entry requirements, will only be allowed to enter the country if they are fully vaccinated with one of the vaccines approved for entry into Canada. These groups include:
Individuals travelling to reunite with family (unvaccinated children under 18 years of age will retain exemption if travelling to reunite with an immediate or extended family member who is a Canadian, permanent resident, or person registered under the Indian Act); International students who are 18 years old and older; Professional and amateur athletes; Individuals with a valid work permit, including temporary foreign workers (outside of those in agriculture and food processing); and, Essential service providers, including truck drivers.
Travellers should contact their airline or railway company to obtain the necessary form and submit them.
Travellers should check if they are eligible to enter Canada and meet all entry requirements before heading to the border. In addition, some provinces and territories may have their own entry restrictions in place. Check and follow both the federal and any provincial or territorial restrictions and requirements before travelling.
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has launched a new feature in ArriveCAN called Advance CBSA Declaration. This feature will allow travellers arriving at certain airports to electronically submit their customs and immigration declaration in advance of their arrival in Canada. This feature is currently available for travellers arriving at Vancouver International Airport through the ArriveCAN website only. It will soon be launched at other airports across Canada.


For some businesses, long-lasting success hinges on mastering the mailroom.
Whether it's for distributing marketing materials, sending out invoices, or getting readymade products in customers' hands, making your mailroom work efficiently can represent a huge advantage.
Although most business start out with an ad hoc mail solution, making frequent trips to your local post office can quickly become time-consuming and expensive.
There comes a time when you need a complete mailing solution that lets you operate in an efficient, streamlined way.
FP Mailing Solutions is the fastest growing commercial postal vendor in the United States. They offer three broad categories of postal service, ranging from Small Business, to Office and Enterprise solutions.
Our key partnership with this company gives us an advantage when developing and implementing mailing room solutions for our clients. Rather than forcing our clients to use stamps or postage meters, we are able to implement complete mailing solutions that save both time and money.
For instance, FP Mailing Solutions' MailOne software is a fully integrated suite of applications that lets organizations print shipping labels, track packages and perform shipping accountancy using unlimited accounts on multiple devices.
Using this kind of technology, you can improve your mailroom's day-to-day workflow, reduce costs spent on package management, and enjoy easy, intuitive record keeping of packages sent out.
While MailOne is a powerful application for handling shipping from your computer, the company's lineup of PostBase postage meters is what truly stand out. When you choose to work with FP Mailing Solutions, you gain access to a wide range of automatic postage meters that use the latest technology to reduce the amount of time and money you spend per package sent.
The PostBase Mini: This tiny postage meter is perfect for small businesses. It has a color touchscreen, operates almost silently, and leases for less than $25 per month.
The PostBase Econ: This is an improvement over the Postbase Mini, adding Wi-Fi connectivity that lets you instantly create postage.
The PostBase Auto: This mid-range postage meter can process 95 letters per minute and features a 4.7-inch touch screen.
The PostBase ONE: This high capacity postage meter can process 150 pieces of mail per minute and offers built-in postage spend analysis as well as advanced networking capabilities.
Imagine how much time it would take to manually post 150 pieces of mail and compare it to the speed of FP Mailing Solution's products. Businesses that rely on sending out high volumes of postage stand to earn huge savings when compared to the opportunity cost of the next best option.
For many organizations and their customers, package tracking is a deal breaker. Any postal service provider that fails to offer accurate, up-to-the-minute tracking of parcels sent is automatically rejected. Fortunately, FP Mailing Solutions' latest offering is a state-of-the-art parcel tracker called QTrak.
QTrak is a cloud-based parcel tracking solution that lets businesses manage inbound package shipments at any volume. Thanks to its decentralized cloud architecture, it is as viable a tracking solution for small business as it is for major global enterprises.
With one user license, you can add unlimited individual users using unlimited handheld devices. Each one of those devices can become a digital signature pad, eliminating the need for parcel couriers to carry around handheld computers. Every package benefits from complete tracking information including pictures, notes, and additional information as needed.
Furthermore, the solution stores no package data on handheld devices, making it compliant with most firms' bring your own device (BYOD) policies. By keeping the data on the secure, encrypted cloud, even a lost or stolen mobile phone cannot be used to compromise customer data. This is just one of the many ways FP Mailing Solutions brings the future of post to our clients.
Donnellon McCarthy Enterprises is an authorized FP Mailing Solutions partner. Ask one of our postage specialists for details on postage meters and tracking.

Andersey Island ist eine Insel in der Themse flussaufwärts des Culham Lock bei Abingdon in Oxfordshire.

Die Insel ist durch eine Umleitung des Flusses zwischen dem Hauptstrom und dem heutigen Nebenarm des Swift Ditch entstanden. Der Swift Ditch war der Hauptarm des Flusses, bis dieser in der Richtung von Abingdon umgelegt wurde und so die Insel entstand. Mit 1,10 km² ist die Insel ein der größten in der Themse.

Die Insel war der Ort eines königlichen Anwesens seit der Zeit der Angelsachsen, das von Wilhelm I. übernommen wurde. Um das Jahr 1100 wurde der Besitz an den Abt von Abingdon übertragen und zerfiel danach. Die Insel ist zum größten Teil offene Grünfläche, es gibt aber auch einen Fußballverein, einen Cricketverein und verschiedene andere Gebäude auf der Insel.

What I think gets forgotten is that five of the world's biggest newspapers – and WikiLeaks – held a shared timetable for three weeks. That's an unprecedented level of collaboration, and I think everyone involved will look back on it more favourably than perhaps they do at the moment.
While I think the duty exists to an extent, WikiLeaks wants to be seen by media outlets as a partner organisation, receiving due credit as the source of the material, being free to release its own stories and take on the subject matter, and to co-publish. I think that's a more activist and more controlling position than a typical source, and so perhaps means outlets have less duty of care than otherwise.
WikiLeaks is a conduit which exists to protect the people who are directly taking the risks to get powerful material to the public. They are the sources that most deserve, and need, protection.

Decolonising the Future: Not to go where Cyborgs have gone before?

Can those of us living in hi-tech, computer-dependent parts of the world imagine a future without the Internet? By that I mean everyday life without the means of 24/7 communication with family, friends and colleagues, access to information resources, professional or leisure-based products and services? Even those without full access, who use the web reluctantly or have unplugged themselves from the global information infrastructure that underpins the disjunctures and differences of the world today still have to work and live with the rest of us who take these facilities for granted. This reflection considers what form and substance a future information society, however defined, might take as if this were purely a problem-solving exercise is to let the tail wag the dog.
First I discuss the way different assumptions about the relationship between technology on the one hand and society on the other underscores deliberations further upstream. The second section looks at how these ideas resonate in popular science fiction; a literary and entertainment genre that provides a productive filter through which to look at ongoing and emerging debates about the Internet and society. The third section returns to live issues; where the Internet, as part of the latest generation of new media has become a focal point for political and social mobilization. With these reflections I hope to trigger some alternative ways to start thinking futures. My goal is to show that while there are many unarticulated scenarios to consider and prepare for, others are available in fictional form. Many others are already in the making; revolutions and counter-revolutions are being digitized as we browse, click, or tweet

Description Grave marker in a friedhof (cemetery) in Niederrotweil, Germany. Image shows rows of headstones, some white and some black. All have blooming flower beds in front of them. In between the headstones are gravel walkways. Most of the flowers are red, pink, or orange. There are also various green plants. There are large pine trees in the background. Slide.


Add vines to your landscape. You can get a variety of vegetation which might be vines. Some decorative, and a few fruit or vegetable varieties. Vines can grow up most fences or structures. Use them to create more interesting landscapes in your yard. Have them grow up an awning, and create shade for you. If you want to develop vegetables, but do not need the room, take into account planting greens that develop on a vine. Vegetables like squash, melons, and tomatoes will be educated to develop up alongside a trellis or fence. You can make use of vertical house to get the vegetable backyard that you really want.
Beat back infestation of annoying backyard pests like aphids by evenly spraying the stems, leaves, and buds of your flowers with a closely diluted mixture of warm, soapy water and a few drops of liquid dish washing cleaning soap. Subsequent, comply with-up by rinsing with a generous spray of water. This is effective for even probably the most serious aphid downside. If you happen to aren't able to dedicate your time and power to a full organic garden or simply haven't got the space for one, use a container instead. Search for crops which are small and effectively suited for containers. Whiskey barrels are great for container gardens as a result of they have plenty of room for roots to grow and can be used for a number of kinds of vegetation.
When growing your individual natural vegetation, you need to move your seedlings away from any air vents or radiators instantly upon germination. This is because your seedlings don't must be really warm like germinating seeds do. They have to be cooler in order for them to grow in the best way. Be careful if you end up shifting your plants from plastic containers to the soil. Crops typically will find yourself with bound roots after they have spent too much time in plastic. Flip the plastic container upside-down slowly and faucet gently to remove plant. Avoid damaging the plants delicate root system.
Are you aware the right way to start your own organic garden now?
If you're growing tomatoes, it's best to be sure to have them in a spot the place they will get ten hours of light at the minimal through the summer. Otherwise, your tomatoes is not going to develop properly. You also wish to have space in between your tomato vegetation in order that the air can circulate. Weeds are annoying to any garden, natural or in any other case. This natural weed killer is safe for the environment and also you.
Weed control in your organic backyard will likely be more difficult than a standard garden as a result of you can't use chemical herbicides. Among the finest ways to manage weeds with out using chemical substances is creating floor cowl with mulch. Save tree trimmings and grass clippings from elsewhere in your garden and spread them around your vegetation to a depth of about 3 inches. This ought to be enough to forestall weeds from germinating and growing.
Organic fertilizers are higher for the soil than chemical fertilizers.
