The Spirituality of Baseball: How a Young Pitcher's Loss Still Inspires Generations
July 25, 2020 by Martin Davis
"PLAY BALL!" Action at Frank E. Sollecito Ballpark in Monterey, California.
By MARTIN DAVIS
Contributing Columnist
Yes, high school baseball is just a game—but baseball also is life.
Frank "Frankie" Sollecito in his pitching prime.
In our most troubled days, it's a game that defines who we are and transforms both players and their communities forever. That certainly was true of the relationship between Michael Groves—head baseball coach at Monterey High School and a member of the California Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame—and a once-in-a-lifetime student-athlete, Frankie Sollecito. Here is the story of the tragedy that united them—and how that event continues to shape new generations three decades later.
On an April afternoon in 1988 during a regular-season game against Bellarmine College Prep, Frank "Frankie" Sollecito Jr. was struggling. Something he didn't often do.
At 6'5" and 230 pounds, Sollecito was the type of athlete who played a level or two above his peers. That talent had been recognized and rewarded by UCLA and Oklahoma—powerhouse football programs that wanted him to play tight end. He was also a straight-A student, and a "character," whose humor and wisdom were beyond his years.
Sollecito, however, had other ideas. He had accepted a baseball scholarship and would enroll in the fall at UC Berkeley—two hours up the California coast from his home in Monterey.
None of that was on his mind, however, that day. Coming off the mound in the 5th inning, Frankie knew he was in trouble.
"Coach," Sollecito said to Michael Groves, "I'm exhausted."
Groves told him to sit; someone else could close out the game.
"No," Sollectio said. He was going to finish that tight game that ended in a Monterey one-run loss. That night Groves called the young man's parents, only to discover that they, too, had concerns. Frankie had recently had a dental procedure that was not healing properly.

The next day at practice, Groves saw Sollecito just sitting in the outfield. Again, he was complaining of exhaustion.
They sent him straight to the hospital. Later that evening, test results showed that Frankie Sollecito Jr., at 18 years of age, had leukemia.
The next month for Frankie was a gauntlet of hospital stays and chemotherapy.
His teammates at Monterey High School kept playing. And Coach Groves kept doing what he always does—giving of himself. Every afternoon, he showed up at the school's downtown baseball field. Oftentimes he arrived in a suit, coming from a full day's work running the successful land-use planning firm he founded in 1978. And in the evenings, he would often visit Frankie in the hospital.
In May, the team was in the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) section championship play-offs. Frankie was out of the hospital the week the playoffs began, down nearly 100 pounds from his weight just a month before.
He was there on the bench in street clothes at Salinas Municipal Stadium for the Toreadores' first round playoff game against Los Gatos. Monterey won 8-3, earning it the right to play the next playoff round at San Jose Municipal Stadium several days later.
However, that is not what was important in the moment. As the team and coach removed equipment from the dugout after the first round victory, Frankie remained seated in street clothes at the far end of the dugout, alone.
As Groves walked back through the dugout, he found Frankie still there, alone and crying.
Groves sat next to him, then stood and held him as he cried, and listened as Frankie whispered, "I can't do this, Coach. I can't come to the game and not play."
But neither could he not be there for his team.
Michael Groves
The second round CIF Championship game against St. Francis High School was tight through the first four innings. Sollecito, still in his street clothes, could do nothing but watch as the Toreadores pitcher walked the first batter of the 5th inning.
"I don't know what came over me at that moment," Groves says. "I turned to Frankie and said, 'let's get you loosened up so you can play.' "
Sollecito looked up and said, "Coach, I don't have a uniform."
Groves began unbuttoning his jersey. "You do now." Inwardly, he had a feeling that this could be Frankie's last time playing ball.
As Frankie dressed in the Toreadores' green and gold colors, then made his way to the bullpen to loosen up, the team's pitcher continued to struggle. He loaded the bases with no one out. Groves made the call to the bullpen.
Over the loudspeaker the announcer's call came: Frank Sollecito Jr. would be taking the mound for Monterey.
Groves remembers Frankie taking the hill. Word had gotten out about his condition. The MHS fans stood and cheered, but the crowd behind St. Francis was standing and cheering with equal fervor.
Frankie had been severely weakened by a combination chemotherapy-and-bone-marrow-transplant and other treatments. He'd lost considerable velocity on his pitches. Even tougher, he had not thrown competitively since the game against Bellarmine more than a month earlier when he was reaching 92 mph on his fastball—an exceptional velocity for a high school pitcher.
No matter. Frankie forced two quick outs with a ground ball and an infield pop-up, then struck out the last batter. He got out of the inning without giving up a run. Seasoned baseball fans on both sides, many parents, literally erupted over the performance, tears rolling down cheeks, unconcerned with trivial matters such as final scores.
Lacking the strength to pitch the sixth or seventh inning, Groves put him at first base.
It was the last time Frankie Sollecito Jr. would play a high school baseball game.
A Passing
Sollecito would bravely battle leukemia for two years. Through it all, he never lost his sense of humor. Still today, those who knew him talk about the funny impersonations that he would do to lift others' spirits, including the one of Coach Groves, with wild gesticulations loosely mirroring the signs he'd give from his coaching post on the third-base line.
On October 7, 1990—Groves' birthday—leukemia finally took Frankie's life. What leukemia didn't take, however, was Frankie's spirit.
"I went to his funeral," Groves recalls. What happened next has never left him. "As I was driving home, he literally appeared in the car with me. It wasn't a physical presence, but an energy presence."
Groves swerved off the road, stopped the car, and in those few moments felt Frankie letting him know that "it was going to be ok."
As a coach, Groves has always stressed the importance of gratitude to his players. He was determined that the joy each moment Frankie had playing would not be lost on future teams.
Today, Frankie's presence is everywhere at Monterey High School ballpark. The field is named in his honor, and a bronze statue of Sollecito stands smiling and holding his glove to his heart, greeting fans upon entry.
Every season, wristbands bearing Frankie's number, 16, are given to the players. One "special" player, who shares Frankie's character traits, is selected each year to wear the number 16. In addition, a college scholarship bearing Frankie's name is given each year. Before each game, the team walks past the stands to the statue of Frankie, where they express gratitude, and pray for the FOM (frame of mind) that will pave the way for a successful outing.
The physical reminders, however, don't always embody an individual's spirit over time. As students graduated, and younger ones moved in, the spirit of Sollecito began to lose weight with players.
Great stories need to be told and retold over the generations.
For Groves, it all came to a head in 2005. That year, the team had two dominant left-handers and looked to make another run for the CIF sectional championship.
In-fighting had become a problem during this particular year. Finally, with about 8 games to go in the regular season and the Toreadores mired in 4th place, Groves had seen enough. Following a bitter home loss, he ordered the boys to meet him at the ballpark the next day in their tennis shoes. "Don't bother bringing your baseball cleats."
Traditionally, the players are running through their warmup routines as Groves arrives and changes into his uniform. When he showed up the following day, no one had tennis shoes on.
Groves is a genial man who rarely lets people see him in a moment of anger. This day, however, he could not hide his frustration. He ordered the boys to take off their cleats, put on their tennis shoes, and together they went on a run.
"We ran around the ballpark and the surrounding El Estero Lake," Groves says. "Then I ran them into the cemetery across the street from the ballpark and straight to Frankie's gravesite. I had forgotten that they're young kids and don't know the story.
"I told them, 'Frankie believed it was a privilege to put on an MHS uniform. As long you're focused on arguing with each other and not playing for each other, you will not be successful.' After this, I asked the team to make a commitment to each other, and to have gratitude to be able to play this great game in every moment that you are alive, like Frankie did."
The team went on to win 8 straight league games and a league title, moved on to the CIF sectional play-offs winning four straight championship games, and ultimately the section title. (There is no State championship in California, only sectional championships, owing to the size of the state.) This dynamic team won 12 consecutive games after that run to visit Frankie's gravesite.
"Each player who wears the MHS green and gold," says Groves, "learns what Frankie taught his teammates. Wearing that uniform is a privilege and not to be taken lightly. That 2005 season was all inspired by how Frank Sollecito both lived and died."
The bond between Groves and Frankie Sollecito has shaped the Monterey baseball community for 30 years now. There is much more to the story, however.
As I was finishing this column, I had a phone conversation with Frankie's parents. They wanted to be sure that people know that Groves' compassion and support was about so much more than Frankie.
For the two years that Frankie was in treatment at Stanford University Hospital and others, his younger brother, Gabe, had to face life with his mother gone much of the time.
Two years younger than Frankie, Gabe was a remarkable athlete in his own right. He had a hard time getting out from under his brother's shadow, however.
His mother remembers Gabe pitching a no-hitter while Frankie was in the hospital, and the local paper noting the achievement, then talking mostly about his brother, Frankie. It tore at his mother's heart. Michael was there to help him through those difficult years.
Gabe would go on to play at UCLA, and then spend ten years in the minor leagues, rising to AAA—the level just below the majors. He never got the call to play in "The Show," as the major leagues is referred to by those who play the game.
Now back in Monterey, Gabe is again with Michael Groves—this time as an assistant coach on the baseball team.
This all reflects the way Groves coaches baseball, and teaches his players and everyone he meets, about life.
At the end of the day, we are here for each other.
Every day we have, matters.
"The bottom line," Groves says, "is this: If you knew it was your last day to play ball, how would you show up?"

In Memoriam: The Dowager Duchess of Devonshire
#2548303 / gettyimages.com
This week, the Duke of Devonshire announced the death of his mother, Deborah, at the age of 94. Born the youngest of the famous Mitford sisters, the Dowager Duchess of Devonshire was the chatelaine of Chatsworth House, one of the grandest estates in England, for more than half a century. As you can imagine, the job came with the opportunity to wear some impressive heirloom jewels. Here's a look at some of the jewelry worn by Debo during her lifetime.
Banquet held by the Royal Society of St. George, 1954
With her husband, the 11th Duke, at the Dorchester Hotel, 1955. The ruby and diamond clasp of her pearl necklace was a Cavendish family heirloom; the necklace became Deborah's signature piece of jewelry
At the Dorchester Hotel, 1961. Deborah wears the smaller of the two Devonshire diamond tiaras; she also wore the tiara at the 1953 coronation, where the larger Devonshire tiara was worn by her mother-in-law, then the Mistress of the Robes. At the coronation, Deborah was described by Cecil Beaton as "the most beautiful of all ... with her hair dressed wide to contain an Edwardian cake-like crown -- a Cavendish heirloom" [1]. Her appearance at the coronation was especially striking because she wore the eighteenth-century robes of one of her predecessors, Georgiana, the famous wife of the 5th Duke. The Devonshires also have an unusual Victorian intaglio parure; Deborah wears it here

The new Corsa OPC (Opel Performance Center) will have its world premiere at the Geneva Motor Show (March 5 to 15, 2015) and we can expect it in 2016.
Whether you are on the Green Hell track or in the urban jungle the new Opel Corsa OPC behaves very well on any type of terrain. Whether you are on Nürburgring or going through the rush hour traffic, the fastest member of the new Corsa generation combines athleticism led to the extreme, with a remarkable ability to withstand everyday use.
This vehicle, with a length of about four meters, impresses with its turbocharged engine which generates high torque, handling agility, and not least its appearance of a true sportsman. However, neither the spacious interior, well known in the Corsa, nor the superior comfort, have suffered.
The interior also creates a sporty ambience. The Recaro performance seats stand out, ensuring their passengers excellent side support, even in the most challenging sequence of corners.
Leather steering wheel, with flat bottom section, OPC gear shift knob, and sports pedals with OPC characteristic instruments configurations complete the interior. In addition, the drivers will continue to receive outstanding connectivity.
IntelliLink infotainment system will be optional and will bring on board the world of smart phones using Apple iOS and Android.
Under the hood, the supercharged petrol engine of 152 kW / 207 hp is just waiting to spring into action. The OPC engine displaces 1.6 liters and generates a maximum torque of 245 Nm, between 1,900 rpm and 5,800 rpm, and with the amplification function an additional 35 Nm are available when needed.
Power is transferred to the front wheels by means of a six speed transmission. The new Corsa OPC goes from 0 to 100 km / h in just 6.9 seconds. The car can reach a maximum speed of 230 km / h. Despite sporting ambitions, the fuel consumption reaches a respectable 7.5 liters per 100 kilometers in the mixed cycle, with CO2 emissions of 174 g / km.
To transfer power on the road in the best way possible, Opel engineers have teamed up with experts from Koni to develop innovative chassis damping. Thus, other chassis components were calibrated accordingly.
The Corsa OPC is sits 10 millimeters lower compared to its brothers from the range. An electronic stability system, the latest generation, allows selecting multiple operating modes for ESP and traction control (TC). In the Competition mode, for example, traction control is not active, while ESP gives the Corsa OPC a larger area of maneuver. Experienced drivers can even completely disable ESP when they want to push the car to the limit on the racetrack.
Drivers who want even more sporting spirit can resort to the performance package. It includes a mechanical multi-disc differential produced by Drexler, 18-inch wheels with Michelin tires with enhanced grip and a more sporty chassis configuration. In addition, the Corsa OPC performance package includes Brembo high performance disc brakes with 330 mm on the front axle, which ensures optimum deceleration.
With the help of performance package, the Corsa OPC is a true athlete who can handle both the urban jungle requests and those on track, and that in spite of the fact that engineers know the new Corsa OPC will spend more time in city traffic than racing. Regardless, engineers have ensured the Nürburgring Nordschleife normal tests can be withstood.

Promotion for Australia's potential second saint
A portrait of Australian Eileen O'Connor. Image: Archdiocese of Sydney.
The Catholic Archdiocese of Sydney has launched a new website and social media platforms aimed at promoting the pathway to sainthood for the co-founder of Our Lady's Nurses for the Poor, Eileen O'Connor.
Eileen has already taken a critical step towards becoming only Australia's second saint after her cause for canonisation was officially opened in February 2020 with a Sydney Archdiocesan investigation underway into evidence of her reputation for holiness and a life of heroic virtue.
The new website, www.eileenoconnor.com.au contains detailed biographical information on Eileen O'Connor's life, prayers through her intercession as well as information on the ongoing legacy left by Eileen covering not only Our Lady's Nurses for the Poor, but also the Brown Nurses and Eileen O'Connor College for students with disabilities.
The Centenary Project Leader with Our Lady's Nurses for the Poor, Sr Margaret Mary Birgan hopes the new website encourages growing numbers of Australians to learn more about Eileen and the order she co-founded in 1913 with Fr Edward McGrath to care for the sick poor in their own homes.
"The new website has come at an important time for us as we prepare to mark the centenary of Eileen's death in January 2021", Sr Margaret Mary said.
"We are planning a number of events throughout next year not only in Sydney, but also in other areas where Our Lady's Nurses have left their mark such as Brisbane, Newcastle and Minto. We hope the website and the Facebook and Instagram pages linked to it will help us spread the word about these important events and just generally raise greater awareness about what a special person Eileen was that really makes her 'a saint in waiting'."
Eileen died at the young age of 28 after spending most of her life confined to a wheelchair due to a debilitating condition known as tuberculosis osteomyelitis.
In a video Reflections on Eileen O'Connor on the new website, the Archbishop of Sydney, Most Rev. Anthony Fisher OP pays tribute to Eileen, especially her great courage in the face of tremendous difficulty throughout her young life and despite these trials, her selfless devotion to serving those in greatest need.
"She's going to be a saint for our land, I believe. I don't know how long it will take God in God's good time to show His signs that He favours that. But I think she is such an inspiration and if the Church in her wisdom eventually raises her to the altar of saints, that will be great for our country," Archbishop Fisher said.
"The promotion of her cause is giving her a new voice and inviting us all to look more closely at what Eileen did and what she represented. When we're suffering physical or psychological pain, the temptation can be to roll up in a ball just to protect ourselves. But her response was to get out there and help others."
The Bishop of Broken Bay, Most Rev. Anthony Randazzo said he was encouraged to see growing numbers of Australians want to learn more about Eileen O'Connor's remarkable life and legacy.
"And through coming to know her, they'll come to know Jesus Christ more personally in their own lives and in the life of the community of the Church since Jesus was always at the heart of Eileen's work," Bishop Randazzo said.
Alongside the new website – www.eileenoconnor.com.au is a dedicated Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/SoGEileenOConnor and an Instagram page https://www.instagram.com/theeileenoconnor/
With thanks to the Catholic Archdiocese of Sydney.

This paper provides an overview of the key factors impacting upon the gender pay gap in the UK, Europe and Australia. Forty years after the implementation of the first equal pay legislation, the pay gap remains a key aspect of the inequalities women face in the labour market. While the overall pay gap has tended to fall in many countries over the past forty years, it has not closed; in some countries it has been stubbornly resistant, or has even widened. In reviewing the collection of papers that make up this special issue we identify four broad themes with which to group the contributions and draw out the explanations for diverse trends: theoretical and conceptual debates; legal developments and their impacts; wage setting institutions and changing employer demands; and newly emerging pay inequalities between and within educational and ethnic groups. Across the four themes we underline how the trends in the gender pay gap capture the dynamism of inequalities, as the market power of different groups and stakeholders changes over times. Three key dimensions emerge from the papers to provide a framework for future research and policy discourse: the relationship between litigation and bargaining strategies; the interaction between wage-setting institutions and new organisational practices; and the increasing and range of diversity or equality strands competing for equal treatment. We conclude that progress towards closing the gender pay gap will not be easy, will require a collective effort of various actors, and will not be quick.

The purpose of the command is trackdown the state of the repository when given test command succeed. Usually it is looking for last compilable state or for state when some unit test has been passing.
Without any flag, the command run a given test (or if none give, the test defined by setpref) on the last recorded version of the repository, and outputs whether the test has been successful or not.
With the --linear flag, the command looks for the last state of the repository when the test has been passing.
The --bisect flag is also a tracking-down option and has advantages but also disadvantages. Text should help user understand when to use –linear and when to use –bisect.
--backoff is similar to --bisect and may be faster on bigger repositories.
Example: darcs test --linear "cabal configure && cabal build"
For an up-to-date and detailed explanation see darcs help test.
The behavior is simple, it unpulls the patches until test succeed.
Note: Each number is patch.
With --bisect option the trackdown searches using bisect algorithm. It starts from the half of repository and jumps next into left or right half depending on test result.
--backoff is aimed at finding regressions which are closer to the head than to the middle of the repository. It will perform relatively better on repositories with more patches. Example: on darcs's repository, it performs between 30 and 70% faster than bisect.
The search strategy starts by unapplying 4 patches (chosen to match the break-even point with linear search). If the test fails, it unapplies 8 more patches and tests again. On each test failure, it removes twice the number of patches as before. Once the test passes, it bisects the patches it just skipped.
When the command fails for whole history it will be found after tracking down the complete history.
Jump into half is basically pull or unpull half of the patches depending on the half. Jump has O(n/2) complexity and not O(1).
If there are more states of the repository where command start and stop working than there is not guarantee which is in result.

Missing Huntington Beach Woman Found Alive
By Vanessa Arredondo and Gene Kang	• Published at 2:25 pm on July 14, 2019
A Huntington Beach woman on a camping trip near the California-Nevada border who had been missing since Friday afternoon has been found alive, authorities and family members said Monday.
"Missing hiker, Sheryl Powell was located alive by ground search team members near the Montenegro Springs area (below where her dog was located earlier today)," the Inyo County Sheriff's Office said on its Facebook page. "Searchers describe her as resilient and strong but exhausted after being lost in an extremely remote area above Big Pine, CA."
Powell's husband and children posed with the found camper at a hospital and shared the photo with NBCLA Monday. Powell's son told NBCLA that his mother "was chased down a hill by a man with a knife."
The search for a Huntington Beach woman, who was reported missing in a camping area in the Bristlecone Pine Forest area near the California-Nevada border appeared to have turned up the woman's dog earlier in the day, the Inyo County Sheriff's Office said.
A dog matching the description of the pet that was with the missing camper was found about 2 1/2 miles from her last known location, as the search on the ground and by air continued until Powell, 60, was located.
Powell and the dog, Miley, vanished near the Grandview Campground, about 275 miles north of Los Angeles, around 2 p.m. while husband Joseph Powell repositioned their Jeep, a task, family members said, that only took five minutes. Her husband said when he returned, his wife and their 5-pound black and white Yorkipoo dog were gone.
Powell was described as an experienced hiker by the Inyo County Sheriff's office said.
Joseph Powell searched for an hour before notifying officers of his wife's disappearance through his satellite device.
"My parents have an extremely loving relationship and my dad (who has refused to leave the campsite) is on the verge of breakdown," said son Greg Powell in a Facebook post Saturday.
Greg Powell had said there were no traces of his mother except for the footprints she left at the campground.
Prior to Sheryl Powell being found, her son believed she may have been the victim of an abduction. He had said police were "refusing to acknowledge" the possibility, stating that she might have gotten lost during a hike or she might have been led offsite looking for her runaway dog. Greg Powell previously had said neither scenario was likely.
Inyo County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Carma Roper said investigators have determined the husband was not connected to his wife's disappearance.
Inyo Search and Rescue and the Inyo Sheriff's Department began an immediate search of the area after receiving the notification on July 12, the Inyo County Sheriff's Office said.
Aerial search equipped to detect thermal imaging was provided by CHP-Inland Division Air Operations, Inyo County Sheriff's added. Ground searches were provided by Inyo SAR, Mono SAR and China Lake Mountain Rescue Group.
Greg Powell had said the helicopter would stop searching for his mother if she was not located in two days and he created a GoFundMe page to raise money to continue chartering the helicopter in case she was not found before then.
If she was found, as was the case Monday, Greg Powell said he would refund the proceeds.
The Inyo County Sheriff's asked that anyone with information about the missing camper contact them at 760-878-0383.

Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra Concertmaster Frank Almond stands inside a vault with his 299-year-old Lipinski Stradivarius. The violin was stolen on Jan. 27 and recovered a week later.
Stradivarius violins are so important that they come with their own biographies. Several hundred of them survive today, and they're so prized, you can trace their lineages through the musicians who played them over the centuries.
The instruments have been valued at prices ranging from hundreds of thousands of dollars to several million. That kind of money attracts a lot of nonmusicians, like investors — and thieves.
There's always intrigue involved when one of the instruments goes missing. They've been stolen out of Carnegie Hall, out of a New York City apartment, out of a London sandwich shop — and, most recently, from a parking lot in Milwaukee.
Stealing The Lipinski
Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra concertmaster Frank Almond had just finished a performance on a frigid Wisconsin night in January of this year.
With a rare violin, the Lipinski Stradivarius, slung over his shoulder, he walked out into the freezing parking lot toward his car.

The Lipinski Stradivarius is worth between $5 million and $6 million. Only about 650 Strads, made by master luthier Antonio Stradivari, survive today.
"I sort of walk briskly to my car and notice an unusual Scooby-Doo-looking van backed in next to my car," Frank Almond says. "And it was running."
As Almond put the violin case in his back seat, he noticed someone getting out of the van.
"I thought, 'Why is he getting closer, and why is he trying to take my picture?' "
The flashing light Almond thought was a camera flash was actually a Taser.
"Very jarring electric shock, like when you get hit with 50,000 volts or so, I suppose," he says.
Almond hit the ground and the van sped out of the parking lot. The Lipinski Stradivarius, worth between $5 million and $6 million, was gone.
A Master Luthier
Stradivarius instruments, also known as Strads, are worth so much because there are only about 650 left in the world.
The maker, a 17th- and 18th-century Italian luthier named Antonio Stradivari, is considered the best there ever was.
He crafted violas, cellos and harps, but the sound of his violins, in particular, seems to get better with age.
To truly understand the value of a centuries-old Stradivarius, you have to see one up close.

Nicolette Kocsardy plays the 1732 Duke of Alcantara Stradivarius at UCLA. "It's very light compared to any violin I've held," she says. "I never had anything this precious in my hands."
Kocsardy is a graduate student at UCLA. The school owns this Strad, made in 1732, worth about $2 million.
"The first thing I noticed was how light it is," Kocsardy says. "It's very light compared to any violin I've held. I never had anything this precious in my hands."
It's usually locked away in a vault on campus, but now Kocsardy gets to play it for the first time.
"It's very sensitive," she says. "It's like a really nice car that you just lightly push the pedal, and then it's zooming by."
Back in the '60s, this Strad was also stolen. Either that, or the man who had it on loan accidentally left it on the roof of his car and drove off.
Either way, it was found beside a freeway on-ramp — that's the story, at least. Each Stradivarius seems to have some story of survival.
Back in Milwaukee, days went by without a trace of the Lipinski Stradivarius, which was on loan to Almond.
It seemed like the perfect crime. Even before the instrument was stolen, the thief had watched Almond's every move.
"The guy knew where I lived, he knew my kids' names," Almond says. "He had actually attended a concert — and I hope he enjoyed the concert. ... This was a very, very premeditated incident that was on this guy's mind for at least five or six years."
One detail that the thief overlooked, though, was that an item that hot can't stay hidden for very long.

The Lipinski Stradivarius violin is displayed at the Milwaukee Police Department on Feb. 6.
The Milwaukee Police Department and the FBI worked quickly. At a local news conference one week after the theft, Police Chief Edward Flynn approached the podium.
"Today the Milwaukee Police Department is pleased and very proud to announce the safe recovery of the Lapinski Stradivarius violin that was stolen," he said.
Police had discovered it, undamaged, the night before — in a suitcase in an attic.
Two men were arrested, including the mastermind behind the theft, who pleaded guilty this month to felony robbery.
Now, the violin is safely back in the hands of Frank Almond.
"It's survived wars and revolutions and, most recently, someone trying to steal it," he says.
Just another story of survival to add to this 299-year-old Stradivarius violin.

Upon hearing that resonating phrase, I immediately stopped scrolling down my phone for a second (or even two) and had to check it out! While there are no conclusive studies linking the increase in reported childhood injuries to distracted parents using smartphones and other devices, there is a growing concern among doctors and social scientists over the tug-of-war parents feel between their parental obligations and the lure of technology.
But then there are times, as a work-at-home mom, that I truly need my kids to understand that mobile communication has been a game-changer, allowing me to earn an income while also effectively managing my kids' busy schedules and being an accessible partner to my self-employed husband.
I am quite certain that in the heat of a good tweet or text, many of us have been sucked into some form of mesmerizing cyber vortex! I think as parents, however, that we can exercise a little self-restraint and determine when or if we are being neglectful or even downright rude.
I think that whether or not we are drawn into the novelty of all the bells and whistles and wall updates, we are all smart to consider prioritizing being courteous to our present company and, most importantly, attentive to our primary obligations, namely our children. Remember, multi-tasking is a myth!
It is always smart to feel out the situation before we whip out our devices at family gatherings, play dates, meetings, etc. I am sure we would all agree that by giving small kids our full attention (or taking turns with other adults), we will help insure their safety and foster a greater sense of well-being.


Maintaining balance, stability and mobility is essential to aging successfully. In addition to making it possible to perform basic activities of daily living, such as rising from a chair, walking safely, bathing, or climbing a flight of stairs, good balance forms the foundation on which a healthy and active lifestyle is built. Research shows that Balance & Stability Training using existing facilities and inexpensive equipment increases strength and balance which helps older adults alleviate their fear of falling (the number 1 fear of this age group) by creating confidence and skills to prevent falls.

When I went to Iowa on the 11th, I decided that trip and this one to Ohio would be good ways to go through the CD holder, listen to music and change what I have in the holder. I tend to listen to the same stuff over and over because I don't want to go through the hassle of finding the jewel cases for what's in the holder and changing the music. But when I've got all this music surrounding me, it should be something I should do. I bought this music because I liked it. Then I should be listening to it.
The trip to Ohio allowed me to listen to 14 different CDs. Of course, my tastes being what they are, three genres were featured: jazz, Scottish and classical.
On the ride out, I started with A Treasury of Artie Shaw. He was a big band leader during World War II, played clarinet. My favorite song on this CD is "Begin the Beguine".
Next was The Tannahill Weavers Collection: Choice Cuts 1987-1996. This is a greatest hits collection. It's a good choice if you aren't familiar with them.
Then was Old Blind Dogs and Tall Tails. While this CD has some catchy tunes; Wife in Ev'ry Port, Pills of White Mercury and Barnyards of Delgaty; it's not my favorite OBD collection. I skip over at least a couple of the songs.
After that was the seminal Miles Davis recording, Sketches of Spain. If you are looking to include some Miles Davis, I strongly recommend this recording.
From there, I went to Gene Harris/Scott Hamilton Quartet and At Last. Gene Harris was a pianist and Scott Hamilton is a saxophonist. It's a nice addition to my jazz collection even if it's not something I might reach for when wanting to play music.
The black CD is The Best of the Rat Pack. This is a collection of music sung by Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Junior. It's what could be termed a 'little ditty' of an album. There are better collections by each of these men, but this is a good way to have something from each. "Me and My Shadow" by Frank and Sammy, is one of my favorites. I play this and remind myself that I need to search out a Sammy Davis, Jr collection. He had a wonderful voice.
Lastly, on the player as I pulled into the driveway was Legacy by Old Blind Dogs. I like everything on this album but my favorite is "The Snows They Melt the Soonest".
On the way out, I started with the radio but quickly lost the signal as I headed east. Since I don't know any jazz stations close to Youngstown, I simply stayed with CDs all the way home. If I do another road trip, I need to find a listing of radio stations that play jazz in the locations I find myself. Then, carefully copy down the call letters and number and leave that list on the kitchen table as I head out the door.
I started the trip back with Five by Old Blind Dogs. The opening numbers, "Trip to Pakistan" and "Battle of Harlow" are two of my favorites. "Parcel Full o'Rogues" is a lament on the union of Scotland and England. This is the second CD I've owned of this, so that tells you how much I enjoy it.
Next up was Best of the Preservation Hall Jazz Band. Preservation Hall is located in New Orleans, for those who don't know it. They play New Orleans-style Dixieland jazz. This collection has their anthem, "When the Saints Go Marching In". They tour a lot so if they come near you, go see them.
After that, I played Tchaikovsky. This CD holds his "Pathetique" and "1812 Overture" on it. It's hugely ironic that this should come up as I'm just taking the CDs as they are in the holder. We had talked briefly about Tchaikovsky on Sunday night. I did not know he committed suicide by drinking cholera-laced water. People passing me or being passed by me must have wondered as I was "singing" along with the ending of the Overture. "Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba bup ba bah...boom." This is the very familiar overture which, in some settings, can end with cannon fire. A Tympany plays that roll in normal settings.
From there, it was back to jazz and Lionel Hampton with Flying Home (1942-1945). If you have any knowledge of jazz, "Flying Home" is one of the most recognized tunes. This CD has several variations on that theme including the original. For those who don't know, Lionel Hampton was a vibraphonist. He played what you might call a xylophone only it was a lot more than just that. The CD has a queer little number, "Blow Top Blues" sung by Dinah Washington. It's just, well, weird.
Next was Preservation Hall Jazz Band Volume 2. Why only have one collection of hits when you can have two? I recommend the first one and get this one to supplement.
After that, I listened to one of a series, Benny Goodman, Best of the Yale Archives, 1936-1986. When he died in 1986, Benny Goodman left his music notes and tapes to the Yale University Archives. They compiled a series of CD's documenting Goodman's rise from a small trio to a band leader and then back to small group before concentrating on classical music in his later years. This particular CD contains quite a number of his more popular recordings. It does not have his signature song, "Sing, Sing, Sing". I honestly don't remember where I got this and I wouldn't recommend this if you want a collection of Benny Goodman. There are other greatest hits CD's out there or get your hands on the Carnegie Hall concert CD set.
I ended with Nina Simone and Little Girl Blue. Nina Simone had a husky, gravelly voice that may not appeal to some people. She could wrap that voice around a song and change how you perceived it. "I Put a Spell on You" is one of my favorites and I love what she did to "I Loves You Porgy".
Now to put these back in their jewel cases and select some different music for my travels about town.

Q: What is the Angular Equivalent for Jquery Ajax? $.ajax({
            type: "GET",
            url: "../Home/RightPanel",
            data:{"movie_name":$(".search_columns").val()},
            contentType: "application/json;charset=utf-8",
            success: function (res) {
               $("#right_panel").html(res);
            },
            error: function (xhr) {
                alert(xhr.responseText);
            }
        });

I tried using $http instead of $.ajax. But it didn't work.

A: There is a whole section in the docs on how to use it:

The $http service is a core Angular service that facilitates communication with the remote HTTP servers via the browser's XMLHttpRequest object or via JSONP.
The $http service is a function which takes a single argument — a configuration object — that is used to generate an HTTP request and returns a promise with two $http specific methods: success and error.

Simple GET request example :
$http.get('/someUrl').
    success(function(data, status, headers, config) {
        // this callback will be called asynchronously
        // when the response is available
    }).
    error(function(data, status, headers, config) {
        // called asynchronously if an error occurs
        // or server returns response with an error status.
    });

Simple POST request example (passing data) :
$http.post('/someUrl', {msg:'hello word!'}).
    success(function(data, status, headers, config) {
        // this callback will be called asynchronously
        // when the response is available
    }).
    error(function(data, status, headers, config) {
        // called asynchronously if an error occurs
        // or server returns response with an error status.
  });

A: It is not possible to send data in an $http GET request. You can either send you data as query string parameter or you can make a POST request. JQuery automatically converts the values in data in query string parameters.
GET request with query string parameter:
$http.get("../Home/RightPanel",
{
params: { movie_name: $(".search_columns").val() }
});

You can find more examples at AngularJS passing data to $http.get request.

Cesar Montano Withdraws As Co-Director Of Iglesia Ni Cristo Movie
Feb 13 ping5134 Views
Award-winning actor Cesar Montano pulls back from being a co-director of "The Last Messenger," a biopic of the life of Felix Manalo, the first Executive Minister of Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC).
Atty. Ivy Fajardo, the legal counsel of Cesar, released the official statement about the actor's decision to withdraw from the movie, and let award-winning director Tikoy Aguiluz lead the helm of the all-star cast and big-budgeted movie.
According to the statement, Cesar was supposed to co-direct the movie with Tikoy. However, Cesar and INC failed to reach an agreement regarding his role as a director.
Now, Cesar has no knowledge of the status of the movie or the engagement of Tikoy in the movie. The reason for the disagreement is because Cesar and INC did not agree on the date of the completion of the movie.
INC wants the movie to be completed by June of this year, but Cesar did not agree to it because an epic film like "The Last Messenger" requires a lot of time. The movie will include computer graphics and special production design requirements.
"He refused to compromise the quality of the film."
After the disagreement, the two camps stopped negotiating for Cesar's role as co-director of the movie.
Cesar is the second personality to back out from the movie. In October last year, Senator Bong Revilla said he won't be able to remain as one of the casts of the movie.
The senator said he doesn't want the movie to be dragged into the controversy involving him with regards to the pork barrel scam. Gabby Concepcion replaced the senator in the movie as Eduardo Manalo, the third and current Executive Minister of INC.

When performing a vocational analysis, the vocational expert relies on multiple pieces of data to formulate vocational opinions. In addition to obtaining a detailed medical and work history, it is important to consider the evaluee's preferences for work, especially when alternative employment is necessary due to permanent physical restrictions. To measure preferences, vocational experts may rely on vocational testing, which typically includes interest inventories. Most interest inventories are based on John L. Holland's theory that vocational and career choices are linked to the persons' personality type, which influences interests.
Realistic - Realistic personality types prefer to work with things and are considered doers versus talkers or thinkers. Realistic persons tend to be competitive, assertive, independent, and practical.
Investigative - Investigative personality types prefer working with data, are considered thinkers, and tend to be intellectual, analytical, and observational.
Artistic - Artistic personality types like to work with things and ideas and are considered creators. Artistic persons are typically sensitive, inventive, creative, and emotional.
Social - Social personality types prefer to work with people and are considered helpers. They usually seek out relationships, are humanistic, responsible, and supportive.
Enterprising - Enterprising personality types are considered persuaders and like to work with people and data. For these individuals, the value is usually placed on money, reputation, and power.
Conventional - Conventional personality types prefer to work with data and are considered organizers. Conventional persons tend to be quiet, responsible, and well-organized.
The results of the interest inventories allow the vocational experts, not only to have insight into what type of career the evaluee would be interested in pursuing but also allows the expert to make inferences about the person's personality features. These personality features can provide the vocational expert with information about how the person might approach the job search or present in an interview. Ultimately, interest inventories can assist in providing useful information related to a person's vocational outlook.

Federal court would not like to add LinkedIn to its professional network
By Sarah Kliff Oct 6, 2015, 3:00pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Federal court would not like to add LinkedIn to its professional network
A general view of atmosphere at the LinkedIn B2B Forum panel during Advertising Week 2015 AWXII at Nasdaq MarketSite on September 29, 2015, in New York City.
Andrew Toth/Getty Images
It's a near universal experience of being a human being who uses the internet: receiving spam emails with the dreaded subject line, "I'd like to add you to my professional network on LinkedIn."
The emails are ubiquitous — so much so that they've become a punchline in New Yorker cartoons. And they are impossible to escape by quitting LinkedIn; I have tried and failed.
Now a federal court has found those emails aren't just spam. They're actually an illegal abuse of tens of millions' Americans inboxes.
In the class action lawsuit Perkins v. LinkedIn, LinkedIn users charge that the website sent out numerous emails to their contacts without asking permission. The networking site, according to the lawsuit, "never discloses to its users that it will send multiple emails to each email address that it has harvested."
"LinkedIn, without consent, downloads and indefinitely stores email addresses gathered from its members' third-party email accounts," the lawsuit continues. "Not only does LinkedIn send an initial email to the email addresses obtained from a user's external email account, but LinkedIn sends two additional emails to those addresses when those users do not sign up for a LinkedIn account."
The lawsuit reached a settlement in late September, with LinkedIn agreeing to pay a total of $13 million to approximately 20.8 million people who used the site's "add connections" function to import external email addresses between September 17, 2011, and October 31, 2014. That means the only people eligible to get money are the people who sent the spam emails — who argue in their lawsuit that the spam messages damaged their reputations — and, sadly, not those who only received the messages.
LinkedIn has agreed to send an email to users who may fit that group and will pay out up to $1,500 per person — although the number could be smaller if many people petition the website for funds. There will soon be a notice on the website, too, letting LinkedIn users finally seek vengeance for their spam-ravaged inboxes.

Tasmania makes the perfect spot to enjoy a Working Holiday, not least because of its plentiful harvests. Fruit picking and farm work in Tasmania are a great way for backpackers to earn cash, and experience the friendly culture of regional Tasmania.
More people than ever are heading to Tassie to take advantage of recent changes to the working holiday visa, which allows travellers who have worked as a seasonal worker in regional Australia for at least three months to apply for a second work visa in Australia.
Originally known as The Apple Isle, Tasmania's reputation is today firmly cemented as Australia's gourmet state, producing not only traditional crops such as apples, cherries, apricots and strawberries, but also more exotic produce such as saffron and wasabi.
Fruit picking in southern Tasmania's Huon Valley remains a popular pastime for Working Holiday makers; head for Huonville, the major cherry and apple producing area.
Huon Valley Backpackers is located in the heart of this famous fruit growing district, and offers special weekly rates and transport to work.
The nearby Tamar Valley and further north, along Tasmania's east coast are regarded as some of the finest areas for cool climate grape varieties — particularly rieslings, pinot noirs and sparkling varieties. March to August is the season for grape pruning and harvesting.
If you're heading to Tassie, be prepared for changeable weather – a common saying in Tasmania is "if you don't like the weather, come back in five minutes", and four seasons in one day is not unheard of. It's not all rural shenanigans though: Hobart, Tasmania's buzzing capital, offers up great nightlife, which as a backpacker clutching a Working Holiday Visa, means an increased number of bar and restaurants jobs becoming available!
In all honesty, there are few places with so much on offer to enthusiastic working holiday makers. If you're someone who loves the outdoors, and the smell of dew rising off a peaceful orchard, then this is definitely the place for you.

The Firestone Diamonds Journey…
Since 2014, Firestone Diamonds has undergone a rapid transformation, turning its focus to the development of its Lesotho-based Liqhobong Diamond Mine ('Liqhobong'), whilst exploring ways to unlock and maximise value from its Botswana assets. With production from Liqhobong generating returns, the Company is well positioned to benefit from the shortage of new diamond mines and over time the potential decline in production from the ageing portfolio of current large scale producers coming on stream and the ongoing rising demand for quality rough diamonds.
Liqhobong was first discovered in the late 1950s, and over the past 60 years it has been through a series of feasibility studies and trial mining phases, none of which proved to be financially viable. In 2010, Firestone acquired its 75% interest, with the Government of Lesotho holding the remaining 25% and successfully completed all the required work to finalise a detailed definitive feasibility study and subsequently raised the necessary funds to begin building the mine in 2014. The mine build was completed in October 2016 and has been steadily producing ever since.
Building a world-class diamond mine
Following the positive restructuring initiatives of 2013 and successful $225 million fundraising in 2014, development and construction activities started at Liqhobong in July 2014. First production was achieved in October 2016 allowing Firestone to start reaping its rewards, and achieve its strategy of becoming a mid-tier diamond producer.
Liqhobong timeline
1950's Ore bodies discovered in the Maluti Mountains of northern Lesotho.
1990's First large scale evaluation programme undertaken on the Main Pipe.
Comprised satellite and main pipes – 8.6 hectare of kimberlite pipe, contains probable Diamond Reserve of 9.5 million carats.
2005 Production commenced at Satellite Pipe.
2007 Definitive Feasibility Study for development of Main Pipe commenced.
2008 Production suspended at Satellite Pipe.
2010 Liqhobong was acquired by Firestone Diamonds from Kopane Diamonds for US$71 million.
2011 Production restarted by Firestone Diamonds. Pilot plant, produced in excess of 325,000 carats.
High incidence of fancy yellow stones and potential for large stones.
2012 Completed DFS which set out the basis for an open pit mine with a 15 year life, producing 3.6 million tonnes per annum, yielding in excess of 1 million carats.
2013 Restructuring in place, new CEO, Stuart Brown joined Firestone Diamonds.
Production suspended immediately.
Update the DFS, revalidated initial capital expenditure for the Project and confirmed economics for Liqhobong.
2014 Firestone raised US$222.4 million to bring Liqhobong into production, targeting 1 million carats per annum.
Construction activities commenced.
2015 Revised Mine Plan completed. Base case, post financing, NPV of US$389 million (8% discount rate), IRR of 42%, payback of 4.1 years.
2016 Construction completed.
First diamond recoveries commenced, recovery of special stones and fancy yellow diamonds.
2017 First sale in February.
110 carat gem-quality light yellow diamond recovered.
2018 Paul Bosma appointed as new CEO.

Your monthly donation will help to establish a Brick Manufacturing Plant within a community in order to build either…
One Day House
Because of restricted time constraints, the need for the transfer of much-needed building-related skills, along with proper facilities to accomplish it, has become an almost overwhelming challenge.
The need demands a system that is quick and cost-effective.
The One-Day-House concept was born from this great challenge.
Open-plan structure consisting of Lounge/Dining Room/Kitchen,
Bathroom and 1 or 2 x Bedrooms.
Building is constructed with our Africon Concrete Bricks, manufactured on-site by the local community.
Every house comes complete with electricity/solar-powered energy and equipped for a water-borne sewer system.
Starting with a completed concrete slab, workers can build the house in 1 day.
Anyone can get involved in sponsoring a One-Day House.
Individuals, families, churches, youth groups, businesses and schools are reaching out to provide housing for those who need it.
You can sponsor a One-Day House now for just $8,000 or support our $10 Fundraiser Programme.
One Day Church
The One-Day Church initiative is a response to the urgent need for a church. Thousands of congregations around the globe meet in a house or under a tree every week.
The One-Day Church strives to meet these needs with a high-quality, low-cost, quickly constructed building.
Without a proper meeting place to call their own, congregations often dwindle and eventually disappear.
These congregations want a church building very badly but do not have the resources to construct a permanent framework and roof.
We use our Africon Bricks to build the exterior walls.
The congregation supplies their 'sweat equity' and window frames
In this way a representative church home can be provided quickly and economically to thousands of church families across the globe.
The One-Day Church is a rugged galvanized steel structure with a vented roof.
The walls and floor can be finished with our concept in one/two days.
The One-Day Church is 20 x 38 feet (6.1 x 11.6 meters) and can seat approximately 150 people.
You can sponsor a share of a One-Day Church for $12,000. 2 shares make a complete sponsorship.
One Day School
Because of the rapid population explosion, the need for Education, along with proper facilities to accomplish that, has become an almost overwhelming challenge.
The One-Day School was born from this great challenge.
This building can be used as a single classroom, or in quantity to create a complete campus for larger schools.
Many One-Day Schools will be used in warm or hot climates, so engineers and architects paid close attention to ventilation when designing the structure.
The roof is white to reflect the sun and the exterior walls are constructed with Africon Bricks while large windows and strategic vents promote airflow and thermal efficiency.
Starting with a completed concrete slab, unskilled workers can build the classroom building in a single day, and be ready for classes to start the next.
A share of a One-Day School can be sponsored for $12,000. 3 shares make a complete sponsorship.
Anyone can get involved in sponsoring a One-Day School. Governments, individuals, families, churches, youth groups, and schools are reaching out to provide education for children who need it.
The Need (Greater Good)
Globally, there is an imence need for affordable housing, churches and schools. Here are some local stats:
With the 1996 South African Census reflecting a housing backlog of 2, 202, 519.
Since coming to power in 1994, the state has built only 1,4 million Low Income housing units.
The backlog now stands at more than 3,000,000 – counting Low Income and Affordable units.
Other Housing Backlogs include:
Philippines: 5,8m (2016)
Zambia: 1,5m (2014)
Zimbabwe: 1,25m (2008)
Nigeria: 17,5m (2010)
India: 9m (2014)
And many more overwhelming numbers in need of this service and your contribution.

When you have a large estate, an important aspect of your estate planning is determining how to avoid federal estate taxes, which can substantially diminish the amount that can be passed on to your heirs. For some, establishing an irrevocable trust is the best available option. To learn more about whether or not establishing an irrevocable trust is right for you, speak with a Phoenix irrevocable trust attorney at Gorman & Jones, PLC.
An irrevocable trust is one that once created, cannot be altered. The downside is that you will lose control of the assets placed in the trust, which may include businesses, life insurance policies, cash, real estate, investments, and other property of value. On the other hand, all of the assets placed in an irrevocable trust are removed from your estate, making this a convenient way to keep the value of a large estate beneath the federal estate tax threshold.
An irrevocable trust doesn't eliminate taxes altogether, but it does set up a taxable entity that is separate and distinct from your estate and may be taxed at a lower rate than when all of your assets are included together as part of your estate. An additional benefit is that the assets in the trust are protected from creditors.
Furthermore, unlike an executor of a will, the trustee assigned to manage the trust can live out of state and does not have to qualify through the probate court. And unlike wills, trusts are private and may not be opened to public scrutiny.
Setting up an irrevocable trust is detailed and labor intensive, so you will need to have a lawyer with plenty of experience in this area to handle the paperwork for you. Your lawyer will want to make a detailed examination of your entire estate to ascertain whether this is the best estate planning device for your situation. You must keep in mind that once assets become part of the trust, you can't go back and undo anything without the permission of the trust's beneficiaries and you will no longer own those assets.
In a revocable living trust, on the other hand, you maintain complete control of all assets until your death, at which point the trust becomes irrevocable. Arizona's Trust Code has undergone a number of revisions in recent years, and it is extremely important that the Phoenix estate planning attorney who sets up the trust has a substantial amount of experience and is thoroughly familiar with the current law.
Establishing an irrevocable trust can sometimes provide significant benefits to your estate and your family, but it should only be handled by a seasoned Phoenix irrevocable trust lawyer with a detailed knowledge of estate planning law. When you hire the estate planning law firm of Gorman & Jones, PLC our attorneys will put our many years of experience to for work you and will look closely at the entirety of your estate to determine if this strategy is right for you. If it is, we will ensure that every detail is addressed when creating the trust, to prevent costly mistakes that could later cause problems for you or your heirs.
Call the law offices of Gorman & Jones, PLC at 602-388-1623 or contact us online today to arrange a time to meet with us to discuss your estate planning options. We have offices in Arizona in Phoenix, Scottsdale, Sun City, and Sun City West for your convenience, and we are available for weekday and evening appointments.

Mystery upon mystery around this drawing. I just found a 6″ square ringed drawing notebook, dated "2000", every page filled.
This figure stood out–among miscellaneous pages of landscapes and still life objects. So I am sharing it for my figuralist frends.

Q: Redraw matplotlib canvas without hanging/freezing GUI I am working on an application that plots data in real time.
I've used PyQt5 to create the GUI and Matplotlib to create the graphs.
The GUI consists of a window with multiple tabs.
There are currently 4 tabs and all of them have a grid layout.
The grid is 2x3, and the widgets that contain the graphs are
in locations (0,0), (0,1), (0,2), and (1, 0).
I am parsing the data, and processing it, in a separate thread.
The data is then passed to the widget that contains the graphs
and the graphs are cleared and then redrawn.
I believe that the hang/freeze is due to the
redrawing that is done within the main thread which contains my GUI.
This is what I've gathered from reading other questions, but
I have not seen a working solution to the given problem.
Is there any way that the drawing process can be done within a
separate thread so that it does not hang/freeze the GUI?
If there is no solution, is there another plotting library that is thread-safe and would be a good substitute for what I am trying to do?
I have not had any success in finding examples that solve this problem,
or good answers that I fully understand to address it.
Here is a related post in which I do not understand the provided answer as I cannot
get the code to execute.

This episode (called "The Racket") opens with not one but two ghosts, Otis Blackwell and Richie himself (My suggestion is that "The Racket" in the episode is the game Richie is running on himself).
