Who Is Aroldis Chapman?
You may have been reading or hearing the buzz surrounding Aroldis Chapman, a Cuban defector who is currently meeting with several MLB teams in regard to his services. Here is what we know about him:
– He will be 22 when spring training begins, born as Albertin Aroldis Chapman in Cuba on February 28, 1988
– He is lefthanded, stands 6'4″ and weighs around 180 pounds
– He pitched for the Cuban National Team in the WBC, and was on the Olympic roster before being removed after his first failed attempt to defect
– He holds a 24-21 record with two strikeout titles while pitching in Serie Nacional, Cuba's professional league
– He currently holds residence in Angorra, leaving behind in Cuba his parents, two sisters, a girlfriend, and a newborn child
– Several sources report that he's thrown as fast as 102 MPH
– His agent is the relatively unknown Edwin Mejia
There is an excellent profile and accompanying video on Chapman on ESPN.
Reportedly, the Mets are meeting or have already met with Chapman, who arrived in New York to begin a tour of his suitors this week.
Those suitors supposedly include the Yankees, Red Sox, A's, Giants, Dodgers, Orioles, Angels, Cubs, White Sox, Cardinals, and of course the Mets. Likely that list is longer — who wouldn't be interested in a 6'4″, 21-year-old lefthander who throws 100+ MPH?
And therein lies the big question — will the Mets be in the bidding for this young man's services?
Some scouts see him as among the top 3 young pitching prospects in the world, and project him to be a sure-fire, frontline MLB starter. Other scouts say he's "80% ready" for MLB right now. Still others peg him as a future middle reliever.
But it doesn't much matter what the scouting reports say, because, again: he's 6'4″, lefthanded, 21 years old, and throws 100 MPH. The bidding for that kind of raw talent on the open market BEGINS somewhere between Stephen Strasburg's 4-year / $15.1M deal and the $32M signing bonus given to 31-year-old Cuban defector Jose Contreras in 2002. Do the Mets have the funds and the chutzpah to make a serious bid? Or are they gun-shy after witnessing the Kei Igawa debacle, and experiencing a similar disaster with Kaz Matsui?
On the one hand, the Mets claim to have deeper pockets than everyone says, and adding a top prospect such as Chapman would be a bold move toward putting their money where their mouth is — while also immediately elevating the negative opinion of their farm system. On the other hand, the bidding could go as high as $25M or more — at which point you have to ask yourself, is any one prospect worth that much money? Or are you better off spending that kind of cash in several directions toward both unproven talent and MLB veterans? It's hard to say without knowing what their budget plan looks like (assuming they HAVE a plan in place).
Personally, I haven't seen enough of Chapman to make any kind of prediction about his future. From the videos I've seen of him (one is below), he reminds me a bit of Dontrelle Willis — mostly from his tall, lean, lanky frame and his somewhat awkward leg kick and long stride. A lot of his velocity appears to come from his extreme hip rotation, stride, and whiplike arm motion, but that same rotation could put a strain on his shoulder over the long term. At the same time, it looks like he can learn to use his height more to his advantage, both for velocity and in terms of getting downward movement on his breaking pitches — from the clips I've seen he is usually too much side-to-side and not enough up-and-down (gravity is a pitcher's friend … why fight it?). No doubt, he has enormous raw talent that, with polish, could develop him into a dominating pitcher.

Hopefully this (potentially) works out better than the last Cuban defector we signed.
on that note: Do we need him? I say no and here's why:
-For the money we could get a number of international FA. Last year we got Ugeth's Son which I thought was cool for 1M. for 50M we could get a number of FA pitchers. indeed after last night I am SIGNIFICANTLY more inclined to call Arte Moreno and offer back Krod, then sign our usual cast of muddied relievers (with high ceilings; ie Brandon Lyon, Billy wagner, Saito et al (mix in Bobby P and JJ Putz) with the blatant advertisement that the closer job is up for grabs again.
PS i'm with i-dude in looking for a Javier Vazquez (or facimile) in trade, but not necessarily foregoing a bid for John lackey.

Gisborough Hall Hotel, situated near Middlesborough (in North Yorkshire/Cleveland) is offering a special package to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the first South Seas voyage of Captain James Cook – and we at Female First went along to find out more.
The package includes dinner, bed and breakfast at the hotel and features a stay in The Admiral's Room. There are also free tickets to the Captain Cook Birthplace Museum in nearby Middlesborough with complimentary tea or coffee and cake thrown in for good measure. Make sure you go there with a good appetite!
We arrived at Gisborough Hall (the correct ancient spelling apparently, rather than "GUISborough") on a sunny autumn day and were greeted by a romantic building covered in blazing red Virginia Creeper set in lovely gardens.
After check in we were shown to our room – The Admiral's Room – which features many nautical themed objects – a porthole window, a turret, walls covered in wallpaper with ships and framed navigation charts. You can climb into the turret and relax on large scatter cushions as you watch people come and go. The very helpful gentleman named Steve who showed us up to the room told us about the history of the hall which was the Baronial Seat of the Lords Gisborough and the Chaloner family– and which has many historical naval associations: our room was named after Admiral Thomas Chaloner, (1815-1884). Steve showed us around and there were some lovely touches such as a little decanter of sherry on the mantelpiece, luxurious welcoming chocolates and Molton Brown toiletries in the large bathroom.
After a snack in the modern and rather chic bar downstairs we had a walk in the grounds where roses were still in bloom in late September, then relaxed in our room.
Later on we enjoyed drinks in one of the tastefully refurbished historic drawing rooms downstairs where we were well looked after by our friendly host, Adele, who took our orders for the three course dinner. We were then seated in Chaloner's Restaurant to experience the culinary delights. For starters we both had the plate of Heritage tomato, pickled melon, Yorkshire air dried ham and Mozarella. It was light and tasty, with simple but effective flavours. For the main course my husband ordered the chargrilled Ridings Reserve Sirloin steak which came with chunky chips, onion rings, mushroom, tomatoes and Bearnaise sauce. It was declared a winner! I enjoyed the pan fried duck breast which was beautifully cooked, (tender and slightly pink) although I would have liked a sauce to go with it – undeniably tasty but perhaps lacking a bit in culinary imagination. Pudding was a chocolate fondue for him and a cheese selection for me – both of us were very happily replete. Over all, the atmosphere was relaxed but elegant and the food was finely presented, well cooked and made from high quality ingredients. Maybe if I had one criticism I would say that to my taste it was a little under-seasoned and they could be a little bolder and more confident with their flavours. This is a small criticism however.
The restaurant staff were attentive to just the right degree and extremely professional and well trained – even when they had to deal with a difficult customer. Indeed every member of staff at the hotel with whom we came into contact could not be faulted.
A lovely surprise greeted us when we returned to our room – our beds had been turned down, our towels refolded, and on our bedside table were laid out cups ready with hot chocolate sachets and glasses with bottles of mineral water. This was endearing and made us feel pampered and special.
Following this we set out for the Captain Cook Birthplace Museum in nearby Middlesborough. This is set in the picturesque Stewart Park (well worth a visit alone) which looked especially autumnal on this grey late-September Sunday. The museum has a welcoming and enthusiastic staff who are proud of their displays. We spent some time looking through the various galleries which chart Cook's history – from his boyhood to his famous voyages of scientific and geographical discovery, to his death and the somewhat gruesome treatment of his remains by his killers. He is apparently known as the greatest Yorkshireman ever - although my husband strenuously objects and stakes a personal claim to the title!
The presentations are made in a clear and entertaining format that would appeal to all ages, and it is inspiring and fascinating to be reminded of what it must have been like for Cook and his men sailing off into the unknown – they were like the astronauts of their day going into virtual outer space. It's easy to forget that no one in the Northern Hemisphere had ever seen a kangaroo or many of the world species we now take for granted. There were other interesting topics addressed and illustrated in an imaginative way; life on board an 18th Century wooden ship (pretty grim), scurvy, the punishment of sailors who were deemed insubordinate, scientific discoveries made on the voyages and the discovery of hitherto unknown peoples, fauna and flora. As well as there being much written information there were also many artefacts, replicas of clothes and uniforms and even a recreation of what Cook's childhood cottage may have been like. You can also learn how to do "The Middlesborough Haka" war dance in the section about Cook's encounters with the Maori peoples!
After enjoying the museum we headed for Cook's Café within the museum which is owned by Paul, an ex teacher who took a career change and is now rightly proud of his home baked cakes and use of locally sourced fresh food. I had a sublime slice of chocolate cake which I could sadly not finish after my large breakfast. My husband declared that he wished he had two stomachs.
The whole weekend was most enjoyable and I would recommend it to couples who want a romantic mini break with a difference in a picturesque quiet location that is steeped in history. Those with children would enjoy firing their imagination and helping to bring exciting history alive in the Captain Cook Birthplace Museum. It was a weekend to remember and we were sad to only be able to stay one night.

With 'Waterlines,' Present Music evokes an America coping with floods
Jim Higgins
Almost presciently, Present Music begins its new season Friday with music about the devastating impact of flooding on American soil.
Guest conductor David Bloom will lead the concert, which features Christopher Trapani's "Waterlines," a song cycle about the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 that draws on hymns and blues of the period. Trapani, a New Orleans native, started composing it in the months following the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. Mezzo-soprano Lucy Dhegrae will sing "Waterlines" with the PM ensemble.
Other music on this program employs repetition, such as Julius Eastman's "Stay on It," and audience participation, including Pauline Oliveros' "Heart Chant" and Meredith Monk's "Panda Chant II."
Speaking of audience participation, PM will perform this concert on the river-level space at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design, 273 E. Erie St. Audience members can play pingpong and pool before the show.
"It's not just that we do new music," said artistic director Kevin Stalheim, articulating Present Music's distinctive niche in the local musical ecosystem. "We do more American composers, more living composers, more women composers, more composers outside of the European tradition, than any classical music in town."
For example, he noted that on its Thanksgiving program, PM is performing Iranian-American composer Sahba Aminika's "Warp and Weft," premiered by the Kronos Quartet, a musical reflections of the lives of carpet weavers.
Here's a look at the rest of the Present Music season:
Nov. 19: PM's annual Thanksgiving concert includes "Grace," a world premiere from composer Ingram Marshall, which will use both a string quartet and a vocal quartet and draw on traditional hymns. As has become tradition, the Bucks Native American Singing and Drumming Group will open and close the performance. Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist, 812 N. Jackson St.
Feb. 22-24: Under the clever title "Give Chance a Piece," PM will perform music about war and peace and music based on serendipity. Mary Kouyoumdjian's "Children of Conflict" was inspired by Chris Hondros' photographs of children in war zones. With chance in the title of the program, you know PM will play something by John Cage, too. A full list of venues for these concerts will be announced later, but will include the Women's Club of Wisconsin and Marine Terminal Lofts.
March 24: Guest conductor David Bloom leads a program featuring music of composers who overlap the pop and new-classical worlds. Minnesota singer-songwriter violist-composer Sarah Goldfeather guest-stars. UWM Zelazo Center, 2419 E. Kenwood Blvd.
June 23: PM returns to the Lynden Sculpture Garden, 2145 W. Brown Deer Road, River Hills, for a program that will take advantage of the many large sculptures on the grounds.

Genetic finding suggests alternative treatment strategy for common, complex skin disorders
genetically altered animal models allow researchers to move from conception of an idea to its implementation at an incredible pace."
The discovery broadens the basic understanding of the causes of skin disorders such as psoriasis and eczema, and may well contribute to the basic understanding of asthma and hay fever, conditions that arise when allergens penetrate the tissue barrier in the lungs and nose, respectively.
"Hopefully, this will help us understand the complex genetics of psoriasis," said Julia A. Segre, Ph.D., an investigator in NHGRI's Genetics and Molecular Biology Branch and the senior author on the paper. "Previous genetic studies have focused on the genes that regulate immune response. We are now examining the effect of genes that are involved in both regulating the growth of skin cells and signaling to the immune cells."
The problem causing these related disorders may simply be the body over-reacting to an allergen getting through the barrier that is supposed to block it. "The skin goes into a stress response and overcompensates by trying to rebuild the barrier too fast, actually becoming less effective," Dr. Segre said. "The skin cells grow so fast that they fail to make a normal barrier, and the body is stimulating the immune response because of material (chemicals and allergens) coming through the barrier."
Understanding the genetics of skin disorders may well have important implications for more serious illnesses, such as asthma. It is not uncommon for a family doctor to face the dilemma of a child who has eczema and then having to decide how aggressively to treat the disease. Eczema is not particularly dangerous, but children presenting with eczema commonly go on to develop asthma, which severely compromises quality of life and in rare cases can be lethal. Treating eczema with immune-suppressing drugs, which may also prevent asthma from developing, may cause undesirable side effects.

The city of Fort Worth was proven in 1849 as an military outpost on a bluff overlooking the Trinity River

Unions want to slug non-members for wins
Unions have suggested non-members should pay a fee to cover the costs of negotiating higher wages and better conditions.
With declining memberships across several industries, the Australian Manufacturing Workers Union wants laws rewritten to encourage take-up and give delegates and organisers greater powers.
The union says its members have to do more of the fighting for decent pay and conditions that benefit non-union workers.
One proposal would have non-union workers required to contribute a fee to a union.
"Imagine walking into a fishing club or a footy club and demanding all the benefits without being a member. You wouldn't even get through the door," AMWU national secretary Steve Murphy said.
"Many thousands of workers benefit from the outcomes of collective bargaining agreements fought for by unions, but don't join union members in the fight for higher wages, safer conditions and better workplace rights."
The Health Services Union said non-members should stop getting a free ride.
It has spent $1.2 million pushing for a 25 per cent pay increase for aged care workers.
"A lot of effort goes into that," HSU national president Gerard Hayes told AAP.
"The pay rise helps change their lives, it helps change their communities."
He suggested the equivalent of a one-year membership - $500 in the HSU's case - be levied on non-union workers to recognise the union's advocacy.
"If people choose to be a member of the union, great, if not that's a matter for them," Mr Hayes said.
"The last two-and-a-half years of COVID has shown we're a society that relies on each other and we need to support each other."
Opposition workplace relations spokeswoman Michaelia Cash said it was disgraceful to take people's money for services they didn't ask for.
"It is nothing more than the ailing union movement's way of propping up their declining membership," she told AAP.
Senator Cash said the Albanese government's industrial relations reforms, which it kicked off last year by expanding multi-employer bargaining rights, opened the door to "more outrageous demands from the unions".
"Australians have the right not to join a union and they should never be forced to do so," she said.
Man jailed for violent Qld home invasion
After 15 schooners, Alen Kovac drove to a Brisbane residence and took part in a home invasion that forced a family to leave and never return.A dispute between neighbours escalated into a violent attack after Kovac arrived to assist his mates - Russell and his son Trent Hirst - in April 2021, Brisbane District Court was told.

Time Pieces: Wendover Landing
May 26 - Aug 11, 2012
As part of the Time Pieces series of collaborative projects exploring time and space, poet Miriam Sagan has launched Wendover Landing, an interdisciplinary art piece merging poetry and sculpture, which asks the questions: What is our position vis a vis our own personal histories? How do we understand and express the history of the time into which we were born? How do we locate ourselves – as artists and as people – in relationship to these narratives? Sagan's poetry is combined with a textile installation by Alisa Dworsky and a flock of porcelain messenger pigeons by Christy Hengst in the front of the gallery. Sagan says, "Our notion of the world may be continually expanding, and yet human habitation and a sense of home give the observer a position from which to create. Where is home located in relationship to time, starting with the deep geologic, and continuing to the ephemeral present moment?" and explains, "Wendover, Utah is the site of the Enola Gay hangar and was an airforce base during WW2, now abandoned… a launch from it implies the atom bomb and the destruction of Hiroshima. The 'landing' is about many things: cause and effect come home to roost, the poet in a dystopic landscape, and the more redemptive image of Christy Hengst's dove-like birds and Alisa Dworsky's winged tent structures settling down peacefully. With both ascent and descent over a barren landscape there is hope in some healing from the imagination.

Is Your Heater Experiencing Any of These Electrical Problems?
Other parts of the country may be warming up and getting ready to use our air conditioners, but we're still relying on our heaters to get us through more than a few chilly nights. So if yours begins to malfunction, you may start to panic. This is understandable, but know that if you've had your system maintained before the heating season began, it may likely not even be an issue with the system itself.
Instead, you may be in need of Newton, MA electrical wiring services for some component of your heater. Keep reading to learn more about how your heater can be impacted by electrical issues.
Posted in Electrician, Heating | Comments Off on Is Your Heater Experiencing Any of These Electrical Problems?
When people think about generator use, they're likely to think about winter storms and major power outages that are more common that we would like to think it is in this part of the country. Generators keep lights on, and ensure that heaters stay running in the middle of a winter-related crisis.
Major outages, however, don't limit themselves to just the winter months. Mother Nature can surprise us at any time, and therefore it's important to make sure that our generators are always ready to keep important appliances running, whether it's your air conditioner, refrigerator, or even medical devices that require electricity.
As spring progresses and temperatures begin to warm, now is a great time for Brighton, MA generator maintenance.
As we progress into spring and the weather slowly but surely warms up, many homeowners throughout the U.S. are considering what type of home remodeling or renovation projects they'd like to take on this year. Many projects in this realm make great do-it-yourself tasks, but this is not the case for Boston area electrical services.
Before you begin your home renovation project, its' important to review safety precautions, and understand the various electrical considerations that must be factored in, both before and during a project of any large magnitude. And managing the electrical aspect of the job is something that should be left to a trained and certified professional to prevent safety hazards.

Wednesday, November 16, was supposed to an ordinary day for my brothers and I. Little did we know it would turn out to be one of the saddest days of all our lives. The last day we would see or hear from our mother. My mother was a very well-known person. She loved helping and feeding people even if she didn't know them. As far as I can remember my mother had her struggles and battles with drugs and alcohol throughout her lifetime. Throughout my mother's struggles during my younger years I could never fully understand why she would do the things she was doing.
It wasn't until I decided to go to school for medical assistant, that I finally understood that what my mother was encountering was not just a habit, it was a sickness. I became very close to my mother, hoping she would seek help. Soon she did just that. She obtains the help she needed for her addiction. My brothers and I were like the happiest children there could be. But of course there were hard times my mother would face, temptation, and the urge to want to pick up and use again. Unfortunately she could not kick the habit; she slipped back into her old ways. My brothers were too young to understand what our mother was dealing with.
They would argue because of the things she would do, it was very hard trying to explain to them what our mother was dealing with, they could never understand that our mother had a sickness and that this was not something she wanted to do on a regular day to day basis. My mother went back to receive help for her addiction, this time my brother's had to go with her. I was too old to go so I had to stay back with my grandmother. I had hoped and prayed that this would be the last time I would have to be away from my mother and brothers, and that maybe my brothers would now get the understanding that I had about our mother and her sickness.
My mother and brothers were away for about one year. My mother received the help she needed, but this affected my brothers' behavior and it soon became questionable. My brother was taken from my mother and was place in a group home for social emotional support. My mother came out of the program and was able to obtain a house for us to live in, but according to the courts my mom dealt with too many drugs' issues and was considered not capable to get my brothers out of placement. So that left me no choice but to take on the responsibility to get my brothers out of placement so that we can soon be one family again.
This was a long process and a big step for me to take, but someone had to do it. I soon succeeded with getting my brothers out of placement. After two years of going back and forth to court and proving that I can handle taking care of my brothers. Now that we were all together now in one house as one, things didn't go the way I thought they would go. Two years had past and my mother had now relapsed once again, this time it wasn't as easy to convince her to go back to get help. She would say to us she was tired and wanted to go be with her own mother who has passed away.
I remember having arguments with my mom because of the life style she choose to live. But the one this one particular argument still plays in my head still to this day. It was an argument between my mother and my youngest brother. The words that cane out of his mouth were harsh. He said to my mother, "why won't you just die somewhere? " Two days later my mother did just that. We all got up to go on with our day as we always did, but this day was different. We were trying to wake our mother up, but she would not respond to none of us.
I walked up to my mother and touched her arm and it was at that moment when I knew she was no longer with us. This has changed my whole attitude towards life itself. I always keep in mind the things that I say to my love ones or anyone in that matter. The saying is being careful of what you ask for because you might just get it goes along way. I talk to people all the time that may complain about the things they don't like about their parents. I tell them all the time that they should cherish their parents while they are still here. Always to keep in mind of the things you say and what you may wish upon a person.

VNU Net: IBM ships Linux for S/390 server
May 17, 2000, 14:24 (0 Talkback[s])
(Other stories by Linda Leung)
By Linda Leung, VNU Net
IBM has announced the availability of Linux for the S/390 server as it ships the mainframe system without its native operating system for the first time.
Linux for S/390 will be available from SuSE in Europe and TurboLinux in the US. The open source operating system will be able to run natively in the machine or alongside OS/390, with the S/390 hardware partitioned or with Linux running as a virtual machine.
The announcement is part of IBM's bid to capture a piece of the Linux market and to push S/390 as an alternative to servers from Sun Microsystems for hosting web applications.
However, some analysts questioned how well Linux for S/390 supports all the third-party software that can run on the IBM environment.
By the end of the year, IBM will port its range of middleware software to the platform to allow Linux applications to connect to DB2 and third-party databases, such as Oracle, as well as to Big Blue's IMS transaction environment.
But Stacey Quandt, an analyst at researcher Giga Information Group, warned that further technical work may be required if customers want to run Linux and Oracle natively on the S/390 without the help of IBM's own operating system or database.
She said IBM has failed to confirm whether it will port its Workload Manager software to the new platform, which is necessary for managing this type of environment.
"The announcement is of significance to IBM in the short term and in the long term it could have implications to the Linux market," she said, adding that existing customers could use the port to consolidate their servers onto one machine.
According to Rich Lechner, vice president of ebusiness for S/390, one unnamed telco has thrown out 400 Sun web servers in favour of using Linux virtual machines running on one S/390. He claimed that one IBM server could support up to 41,000 Linux virtual machines.

LeBron James says Syracuse's Jim Boeheim is 'big mad' about Darius Bazley's New Balance deal
Ex-Syracuse signee Darius Bazley, a top-20 high school prospect in the Class of 2018, spurned college for a professional pursuit with the NBA's development league earlier this year.
Bazley's decision was a bit of a stunner that led him down a unique path. It was met with a fair share of criticism, as some questioned whether or not he was ready for the pros – but he gained some vindication this week when the New York Times revealed he'd been guaranteed $1 million by New Balance to be an intern.
Had Bazley opted to stick with his Orange commitment, he'd be readying for the 2018-19 college hoops season. He's now using the year to train and prepare for the 2019 NBA Draft. That Bazley would be a part of Syracuse's loaded roster may anger some Orange fans, unsurprisingly, but Hall of Fame coach Jim Boeheim showing some pettiness towards his decision isn't a new development.
He offered up his own analysis of the arrangement with New Balance announced this week and said, "LeBron did a nice job helping his client," referencing the fact that Bazley signed with James' agent, Rich Paul, who is part of Klutch Sports. James immediately got wind of the interaction and took to Twitter to throw a retort back Boeheim's way.
To which Boeheim responded:
James this week tweeted his support of the G League and its movement towards a more professionalized path, which will begin in 2019. He also voiced his wish for more support and options for kids – presumably high school-aged athletes – who are faced with tough choices after graduation on whether to go pro or go to college, and has openly pined for more player-empowerment on the whole.
Boeheim has said that Bazley "made a mistake" by backing off his Syracuse commitment and has been dubious of a first-round grade some have placed on him as an athlete.
Bazley was a McDonald's All-American coming out of high school. He decommitted from Syracuse in March to enter the G League draft after originally signing his national letter of intent in November 2017.

"So far, no experiments have been made to test the effect of X-rays on the human embryo. I imagine that such experiments would be illegal, in common with many others that might make valuable additions to our knowledge. Sooner or later, however, probably in Russia, such experiments will be made. If science continues to advance as fast as it has done recently, we may hope, before the end of the present century, to discover ways of beneficially influencing the human embryo, not only as regards those acquired characters which cannot be inherited because they do not affect the chromosomes, but also as regards the chromosomes themselves. It is likely that this result will only be achieved after a number of unsuccessful experiments leading to the birth of idiots and monstrosities. But would this be too high a price to pay for the discovery of a method by which, within one generation, the whole human race could be rendered intelligent?
"So far we have been considering those ways of influencing the mental life which proceed by mental means as in psycho-analysis, or by means of the conditioned reflex as in behaviourism. There are, however, other methods which may in time prove of immense importance. These are the methods which operate through physiological means, such as the administering of drugs. The curing of cretinism by means of iodine is so far the most remarkable of these methods. In Switzerland all salt for human consumption is obliged by law to be iodized, and this measure has been found adequate as a preventive of cretinism. The work of Cannon and others concerning the influence of the ductless glands upon the emotions has become widely known, and it is clear that by administering artificially the substances which the ductless glands provide, a profound effect can be produced upon temperament and character. The effects of alcohol, opium, and various other drugs have long been familiar, but these effects are on the balance harmful unless the drug is taken with unusual moderation. There is, however, no a priori reason why drugs should not be discovered which have a wholly beneficial effect. I have never myself observed any but good effects to flow from the drinking of tea, at any rate if it is China tea. It is possible also that psychological marvels may become possible through pre-natal treatment. One of the most eminent philosophers of our day regards his superiority to his brothers, perhaps humorously, as due to the fact that shortly before his birth his mother was in a carriage which rolled down the Simplon in an accident. I do not suggest that this method should be adopted in the hope of turning us all into philosophers, but perhaps in time we shall discover some more peaceable means of endowing the foetus with intelligence. Education used to begin at eight years old with the learning of the Latin declensions; now, under the influence of psycho-analysis, it begins at birth. It is to be expected that with the advance of experimental embryology the important part of education will be found to be pre-natal. This is already the case with fishes and newts, but in regard to them the scientist is not hampered by education authorities.

Q: TV series about a man guided by another man with a sort of calculator When I was little I used to watch a TV series, not quite regularly, but it managed to stick in my memories. The problem is I can't remember the title.
It was done probably in the 90s, but I'm not sure about this. However, something that can help figuring this out, is that it was about a man guided by another man with a sort of calculator and a cigar.
This "guide" called his calculator with a weird name, something like Ziggie, but I cannot remember the exact name. Anyway, this series was peculiar because of this guide, who, if I'm not mistaken, could walk through obstacles.
Does it ring any bells?

A: The show is called Quantum Leap.

The show's premise and the pattern of each episode is established in the first episode.  Sam appears in the past with no memory of who he is or how he got there. Referred to frequently throughout the series as a "swiss-cheesed brain", Sam's partial amnesia prevents him from remembering most of the details of his own life; all he knows is that he's not who everyone in the past seems to think he is. Rear Admiral Al Calavicci (Dean Stockwell), a senior naval officer, Naval Aviator and Sam's best friend, appears to him as a hologram and explains that Sam is the victim of a time travel experiment that went "a little kaka." Now Sam is lost in time, and his colleagues are unable to bring him back to his own time.

From Wikipedia
Ziggy was the artificial intelligent computer that ran the project and helps Sam figure out why he traveled to that particular time and place, so he can "put things right that once went wrong".

Jersey Water Works partners with local elected officials, municipal water and sewer departments, regional utilities, professionals, nonprofit organizations and associations, academics and community groups to find innovative and cost-effective ways to upgrade water infrastructure in a way that delivers multiple community benefits.
Mainstreaming Green Streets in New Jersey Policy Paper: State-level policy recommendations for government to make green streets a mainstream practice in New Jersey based on research and discussion with key stakeholders including state agencies (Jersey Water Works Green Infrastructure committee, 2017).
Fact Sheet: Impact of Proper Maintenance of Combined Sewer Overflow System on Flooding in the City of Camden: Predicts, through modeling, the changes in the volume of stormwater conveyed to water pollution control facilities (WPCFs), combined-sewer overflows (CSOs), and flooding in the City of Camden as a result of cleaning pipelines and removing build-ups of silt and debris (Jersey Water Works Best Practices committee, 2017).
Green Acres and Green Infrastructure White Paper: Recommends ways for New Jersey Green Acres Program to allow green stormwater infrastructure in existing parks. To prepare, the committee sought and received input from Jersey Water Works members (Jersey Water Works Green Infrastructure committee, 2016).
Recommendations for Designing Parks and Public Spaces with Green Infrastructure: Green infrastructure features allow parks and public spaces to manage stormwater, control flooding, and improve water quality in ways that complement and can even enhance their other functions. Green infrastructure features can be especially useful in flood-prone areas and in cities that need to reduce combined sewer overflows (Jersey Water Works Green Infrastructure committee, 2016).
Suggestions for NJDEP Guidance Regarding Green Infrastructure: Comments on CSO permit language result in suggesting how NJDEP can improve clarity for the permittees without overly restricting permittee options (Jersey Water Works Best Practices committee, 2015).
Recommendations to NJDEP on the Stormwater BMP Manual Provisions for Green Infrastructure Techniques: Recommends to NJDEP green infrastructure design methodologies and templates that will educate and guide practitioners, convey NJDEP expectations, and reduce lifecycle costs (Jersey Water Works Best Practices committee, 2015).
Water Infrastructure that Works for Cities: Best Practices and Considerations for Preparing Long Term Control Plans to Control Combined Sewer Overflows: This white paper draws upon best practices from across the country to provide New Jersey's CSO communities with smart solutions that employ innovation, reduce costs, and deliver tangible benefits that build community support. Prepared for New Jersey Future. 2015.
New Jersey A•I•M•S4: A downloadable resource for sewer and stormwater infrastructure system managers, was developed by Jersey Water Works members to offer a menu of strategies for managing sewer and stormwater systems that achieve better results at lower cost.
Model RFP for New Jersey Combined Sewer Overflow Long Term Control Plans: This model RFP includes a scope of services and consultant evaluation criteria, and is intended to enable a CSO permittee or regional collaboration of permittees to hire the professionals needed to develop a successful long term control plan — one that meets regulatory requirements in a cost-effective manner while maximizing benefits to the community. Prepared for New Jersey Future. 2015.
Build it Green (BIG) Initiative: BIG helped New Jersey communities design, finance, and implement integrated projects aimed at addressing CSOs alongside other urgent community priorities.
Jersey Water Works has convened a collaborative task force of experts from water utilities, trade associations, environmental groups, academia, advocacy and community development organizations, and all levels of government will develop a practical, broadly-supported action agenda to eliminate lead in drinking water throughout New Jersey. Chris Daggett, former commissioner of the NJDEP serves as chairman. More information and a list of members here. Contact Gary Brune, 609-393-0008 ex. 119, to learn more.
The New Jersey CSO Network is a forum for CSO permit holders and municipalities to share information and resources and seek regulatory, technical and financial support for CSO solutions that save money and serve communities better. The network includes staff and consultants from the 21 municipalities with CSOs and eight sewage treatment plants with NJDEP CSO permits. Andy Kricun of the Camden County Municipal Utilities Authority and Fred Pocci of the North Hudson Sewerage Authority serve as co-chairmen. Jersey Water Works provides staff support.

Canadian Film Chosen For Film Festival in New York City
MONTREAL (WirePress.ca) -- The award winning short film drama, Nawzad Lost, a creation of Montreal filmmaker Costa Moshopoulos, has been officially selected to be screened at the 6th Annual Manhattan Film Festival. Dubbed a "…13 minute gem" by NewsFirst.ca, Nawzad Lost takes viewers into the precarious world of war and innocent civilians.
Many amateur filmmakers who step into the realm of the silver screen do so with the primary desire to see their creativity come to life. Few however, dare to dream, let only whisper their hope of public acclaim, but such is the case for an up-and-coming filmmaker from Montreal. Costa Moshopoulos' creative piece Nawzad Lost has captured the attention of the Manhattan Film Festival, named top 25 film festivals worth the entry by Movie Maker Magazine and won the Royal Reel Award at the Canada International Film Festival. The Manhattan Film Festival will also showcase films starring fellow Canadian Michael Cera and Andy Garcia.
In a market that is already well-saturated with grim depictions of war, Nawzad Lost, with its unique and eerie look into war-torn Afghanistan, has successfully managed to stand apart from its peers. The 13-minute short film stars Gemini Award winner Christine Ghawi and co-star Chelsie Ostrega, and is centred around a mother and daughter who struggle to cope with the effects of war. The film contains no dialogue, providing viewers with an unsettling visual and auditory portrayal of the war.

Human Capital is the most important resource an organization has to reach its goals and objectives, and when it is not correctly managed, the whole organization suffers in a lack of efficiency and an increase in costs.
As companies grow, the organizational structure becomes more complex and more difficult to visualize, making the job of decision makers much more harder.
1. A clear image of the organizational structure.
In startups or small businesses, normally a single employee will have many responsibilities of different areas of the company. There are rarely many clear boss-subordinate relationships. Sure, everyone knows who is the boss, in most cases the owner or founder, but most employees will work in an environment where almost everyone share very similar responsibilities.
If we had an organizational chart at this stage, it would show a very flat organization.
But when a business grows, responsibilities also grow. In consequence, more clear roles need to be defined within the organization. And an organizational chart becomes an excellent tool to let all employees know their role and responsibilities, and to define a chain of command within the organization.
How often we need to delay meetings because the information is not readily available? Or how many work hours are wasted in making manual organizational chart drawings instead of using this time for more productive tasks?
With an organizational chart, you have easy access to the most important data and documents of your organization, all of them ordered in a visual and logical way, instead of endless lists of names.
There is a quote that says "a picture is worth a thousand words", and it couldn't be more true with the Organizational Chart. Seeing the whole structure of your company gives so much information about its current state, all this in a simple and intuitive way.
Everyone knows how Organizational Charts work, they are easy to understand. And when things are easy, simple and intuitive, people will keep using them.
We send en email every 14 days.
Create your organizational chart automatically from your payroll system, ERP, Excel or any other source and give online access to your users.

I just changed the theme on my site. I'd just love feedback. Do you like the new theme? Is it an improvement over the old one? What do you think?

Lovely photo! I don't mind the text size, my gripe lately has been sites & emails that use gray type instead of black – is maximum readability no longer a factor in design? I like black on white, my eyes aren't the clearest in the morning when I read the most.
Thank both of you! The theme is called Yoko, and the header picture is the Seattle Japanese Garden, which is very photogenic. In fact, for members they set aside a whole day where professional and amateur photographers can set up their equipment and take pictures with no members of the public getting in. Just yesterday after changing the theme, I got four new followers!

Miles from Mistissini
Israel Mianscum left home to chase his hockey dreams at a very young age, leaning on his family and his heritage to see him through
Paul Edmonds
Favourite ()
Imagine you're 11 years old. It's autumn in a northern First Nations community in Quebec, the weather is turning crisp and your hockey talent has already outgrown the surrounding area.
When most kids were trying to figure out a costume for Halloween, Israel Mianscum was trying to navigate through a new way of life, 147 kilometres from home without family or friends and playing hockey in a league with kids a year older.
Understandably, it wasn't easy. Avoiding homesickness was impossible, but his mother made a deal – one she honoured faithfully; the family would drive nearly two hours every weekend from its home in Mistissini, a Cree community of around 4,000 people, to culturally identical Ouje-Bougoumou to visit him weekly in the pursuit of his hockey dreams.
If the move wasn't difficult enough to start, it was further complicated by the loss of two family members – a grandfather and an uncle that same October. At that point just barely into the transition, it could have been easy to acquiesce and return home.
But the touchstone of daily phone calls and frequent visits from family eased the change and five years later there are few shoulder checks.
"He struggled to stay put at first," says Tiffany Neeposh, Mianscum's mom. "We knew he really wanted to play hockey and I knew he would be more broken if he came home.
"We did everything we could for him to stay there. He got used to it after a while. It was quite a year for him. He's so much stronger today living without us."
Of course, the longing for home didn't just dissipate after one season. In fact, it took a few years to truly adjust.
What always eased the original move away from Mistissini was the comfort of being around other players that spoke Cree.
And in Quebec, where French is the dominant language and English a distant second, being able to speak your own tongue created cultural stability and a soothing environment for a wistful teenager.
However, at 14 and a few more moves down the hockey road, Mianscum suddenly found himself isolated and miles away from his upbringing as a member of the Citadelles de Rouyn-Noranda, a Midget Espoir team in western Quebec.
"That was a hard year for me," he says. "I was alone. There was nobody to talk to me in my language. It was tougher for me than at 11."
To cope, there was nothing else to do but pour his mind and body deeper into hockey and continue to develop. The results were impressive. He posted 29 goals and 56 points in 29 games to lead the league in scoring and earn MVP honours, despite being one of the youngest players.
"Looking back on what I did to leave to play hockey kind of amazes me now," says the six-foot-one, 192-pound centre. "I'm proud of myself. I'm not homesick now."
He graduated to the Forestiers de Amos of the Ligue de hockey midget AAA du Québec last season and had another stellar offensive campaign with 21 goals and 35 points in 36 games.
Those numbers and other assets eventually attracted the attention of the Sherbrooke Phoenix, who selected Mianscum with the 10th pick of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League draft last summer.
"The draft was exciting," he says. "It was really fun. It was the best day of my life so far. That's probably one of the best moments for my family. It makes all the sacrifices worth it."
Mianscum started skating at the age of two. He was a natural, but the early beginning was aided by the annual construction of a backyard rink at home under the guidance and assembly of his mother and father, Louie.
His ability to propel himself around the ice so early in life certainly made it easy for his parents to realize he was special. And his mother knew it was inevitable that he was going to have to leave home in order to pursue his hockey dreams.
"From the very beginning he was very competitive," says Neeposh, a hockey player herself. "We knew from there he was going to be different. He was so determined. He was always on the rink doing extra stuff like shooting pucks. He was always competing. Hockey is his passion."
Now 16, Mianscum has found his way from small-town Quebec to the international stage as a member of Canada White at the 2019 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge.
"Israel is a real interesting prospect," says Brad McEwen, head scout with Hockey Canada. "He has a good skill-set plus size, which makes him a double threat. He can play a bigger game or can play a skill game to create offence."
"It's a dream come true for me to play for Team Canada," says Mianscum. "To represent [my country] is an honour. I'm proud of myself and I know my community is too."
As a fan of the Montreal Canadiens, Mianscum looks to their Aboriginal goaltender Carey Price for inspiration. He admits to also following Edmonton Oilers defenceman Ethan Bear, too.
He hopes one day he'll get even closer to realizing his goal of playing with or against either one of those players in the National Hockey League, thus becoming the first Quebec Cree player in the NHL.
"That's everyone's goal," he says of the NHL. "It's my goal too. That's what I want to do. But there is so many things I need to improve on. I'll take it day-by-day. I just need to make sure I play my game all the time."
And it appears he's right at home doing that.
