Today's Top Tips: Bernie & Ruby, a slapshtick night at the Opera, and where to take Mom on Sunday
Posted on May 8, 2012 | Leave a comment
I'LL TAKE ROMANCE: Just added two movies to my Must See list that I didn't know even existed until quite recently. The first one is Bernie, a black comedy based on a true story about the ill-fated romance of a young mortician
MACLAINE & BLACK: Must See new movie
and a not-so-youthful Texas widow. Jack Black is the mortician. Shirley MacLaine is the widow. I think you'll understand why I'm dying (you should pardon the expression) to see it after you click on this sneak preview. The second movie on my new Must list is Ruby Sparks. It's about a young novelist (Paul Dano) struggling with both his writing and his romantic life. Then he creates a character named Ruby who inspires him. And then he finds Ruby (Zoe Kazan), in the flesh, somehow manifested by his writing, sitting on his couch. Antonio Banderas, Annette Bening and Elliot Gould are along for
DANO: Sparks f;ly
the ride, which to me strongly resembles a romantic rollercoaster. Click here for the sneak preview of that one.
SHOWSTOPPER: It's just one of those songs/that you hear now and then/you don't know just where/you don't know just when … but you sure know it when you hear it. There is a soft stirring in the audience at the Four Seasons Centre this month as soon as the first strains of Puccini's haunting melody O mio babbino caro come soaring up from the orchestra pit during every performance of Gianni Schicchi. The surprise for some of us less well-versed in operatic endeavours is that this beautiful ballad comes right in the middle of a slapstick farce about a greedy family trying to cheat monks out of an inheritance.
THE GAMG'S ALL HERE: A family schemes as Puccini serenades
Aided and abetted by a brilliant ensemble, soprano-turned-director Catherine Malfitano displays a fearless flare for broad comedy that suggests she's a serious fan of such screwball classics as Weekend At Bernie's and Fire Sale, and Wilson Chin's stylishly topsy-turvy set consistently keeps us in on the

joke. The lush musical score, sensitively and splendidly conducted by Sir Andrew Davis, makes the contrast even more appealing, and Simone Osborne's rich vocalizing on O mio babbino caro earns every minute of the tumultuous applause she receives. Check it out at www.coc.ca.

No word yet on who's playing his mom … and the woman some folks would describe as the mother of them all, and I do mean the one and only Roseanne Barr, is taking another kick at the can with a weekly series, without TV daughter Sarah Chalke (she's busy) but with TV hubby John Goodman already on board. Roseanne's new pilot, Downwardly Mobile, is about a trailer park boss –guess who? — who serves as a surrogate mother to all her tenants. And the beat goes on.
FLIGHTS OF THE PINSENT: "Guests may never wash their arms again after rubbing elbows with Gordon Pinsent," reported the Ottawa Citizen after Pinsent showed up at a benefit party to promote this summer's Ottawa International Chamber Music Festival. Pinsent will make his Festival debut there on July 30 by narrating Ogden Nash poetry to Saint-Saens' Carnival of the Animals and Tennyson's Enoch Arden set to Strauss. He'll also wing to Halifax next month to participate in April 15 events marking the 100th anniversary of the Titanic. In the meantime, his new CD collaboration with Greg Keelor of Blue Rodeo and Travis Good of The Sadies, Down And Out In Upalong, is scheduled to drop next week; his latest movie project, the 3D IMAX film Flight of the Butterflies, which he just finished shooting in Mexico last month, is currently set to premiere in September; and his new autobiography, Next, is due in stores on October 16. For the inside scoop on the Upalong album, click here. And if you're in Toronto on April 12, stop by The Drake Hotel and see Good, Keelor & Pinsent showcase their new CD in person. So don't say I didn't warn ya!
DICKINSON: big decision-maker
GRAND FINALES: If it's April it must be Season Finale week on CBC Television. Tonight Gerry Dee wraps up the first season of his freshman comedy Mr. D. with Jonathan Torrens and Bette MacDonald, followed by the much-anticipated very last episode of Little Mosque On The Prairie with Zaib Shaikh and Sheila McCarthy. (I believe Little Mosque is the only Canadian sitcom to be inducted into the Museums of Radio and Television Science in both New York and Los Angeles, and last week's episode, by the way, was a real church-burner — literally!) Also saying sayonara is Big Decision, which wraps up its four-show test-drive tonight too, with Arlene Dickinson on deck as the decision-maker. And tomorrow night we'll see the season closers of Rick

Hey, I've said it before and I'll say it again: Somebody must be doing something right.
TOMORROW: Watch for the Glenn Gould Foundation to announce the details of a Gala evening celebrating the ninth Glenn Gould Prize laureate Leonard Cohen. A stellar line-up of musical stars and honourary speakers will take to the stage to salute Cohen's lifetime achievements in music and poetry. Stay tuned.

A man that Penticton's mayor described as a "gentle man" when he worked at the city is facing murder charges after a shooting spree left four dead on Monday.
John Brittain, 68, was charged with three counts of first-degree murder and one count of second-degree murder as a result of the incidents that allegedly occurred on April 15.
Two men and two women were killed in Cornwall and on Heales Avenue.
One has been identified as Rudi Winter, but police say they themselves will not be releasing any names.
Brittain made a brief appearance at provincial court in Penticton Tuesday morning and was remanded to the Okanagan Correctional Facility until his next court appearance in May.

How Agile and DevOps can Boost Software Development Cycle in 2018
By: Katie Johns
Offshore Development|Technology
Whenever am asked to comment about Agile Software Development or DevOps, I always say that they are a power couple (it's like they're married for the better). In fact, whoever adopts them in combination, be it software testers, software developers or delivery ops are bound to reap the benefits. "Faster", "Cheaper" and "Better" are no longer buzz words. Going by the trend, Agile DevOps seems to be the only approach, that can make faster, cheaper and better possible.
I once read this definition of Agile and it kind of stayed with me – "Agile is more a "direction," than an "end," a philosophy and mindset at board level." By Pearl Zhu, who's a digital visionary and author of the famous book Digitizing Boardroom, The Multifaceted Aspects of Digital Ready Boards.
And I once heard Jez Humble, CTO for DevOps Research and Assessment LLC, describe it as "DevOps is not a goal, but a never-ending process of continual improvement". Nothing more fitting as the definition of DevOps.
In an article titled Agile and DevOps: Friends or Foes? where he discusses the relation between Agile and DevOps, Ian Buchanan says, "many people think Agile means Scrum and DevOps means Continuous Delivery. This oversimplification creates an unnecessary tension between Agile and DevOps so you may be surprised to find that they are best friends!"
He further adds that both Agile and DevOps emphasize business value and a culture change and that is where they connect strongly. While Agile is always perceived as a response to the negative impact of the good ol' waterfall approach, DevOps, on the other hand, has never been perceived as a response to Agile. There are Enterprises, that have used both agile and DevOps in combination and say that when used together, Agile and DevOps help to increase productivity and sales.
History of Agile and DevOps
Agile denotes an umbrella term, which simply emphasizes following an iterative development. With Agile, frequent delivery cycles, collaboration, quick response to change, and involvement of key stakeholder so nothing comes as a surprise. There are practices like Scrum, Pair Programming, Scaled Agile Framework, Test-driven development, etc. that help Enterprises to meet the business needs of today.
Agile laid a lot of stress on –
Software development rather than documentation
Interactions rather than processes and tools
Quickly responding to changes
Collaboration with clients
DevOps, on the other hand, is a business-driven approach to help with solution delivery, and uses agile practices, collaboration and automation.
When Agile methodology was introduced, developers had a huge relief but it had drawbacks. There was lack of proper documentation, project getting off track, and failure to deliver on time. Agile methodology involved testers, developers and designers. DevOps could overcome these limitations and ensured secure, frequent and timely product deliveries. It also ensured that there was communication between marketing, customer service, operations, quality and other teams. In fact, DevOps emphasizes the involvement of the IT Operations team.
The focus areas for DevOps includes the following –
Organization culture
Deployment and delivery
Operations and Support
Are DevOps and Agile methodologies different?
There is difference between the two. DevOps is a technical practice while Agile is about processes like Scrum methodology and sprints. DevOps helps to enable cross functional communication (for example teams like QA, development, deployment, infrastructure, etc.) and agile believes in communication between the development team and client. It also emphasizes on inter-team communication with daily scrum calls where the key agenda is to identity the issues and resolve them with the help of agile scrum methodologies.
DevOps uses tools like Docker, Splunk, Jira and Chef that are focused on automating deployment and tracking errors in real-time to quickly fix them. Agile uses tools that are focused on project management and collaboration.
What are the benefits of adopting DevOps Agile for Software Development?
It's clear that DevOps and Agile are clearly allies. I'm giving you a few pointers to help you understand some obvious advantages.
Agile becomes more flexible with DevOps
Agile Model is flexible to adopt the changing requirements of the client and ensures that the product works in the test environment. But to get to that stage is a long cycle. With DevOps, the working software reaches the production level in a timely and more smooth way.
There won't be any silos with DevOps Agile
Agile helps different business groups to communicate with each other. But there are creating silos within the Agile production environment. With combination of Agile and DevOps, an overarching plan to develop, deliver and update software collectively can be implemented.
Both the methodologies complement each other
With this point, we'll just reiterate what we have just discussed. DevOps can take Agile to the next level with increased ease and transition from software to its implementation with the involvement of an operations person.
Trends have repeatedly shown that when Agile and DevOps work together, they give better results. Agile DevOps is a new mindset that is fast turning into a priority for many Enterprises. So, you know why I say they're married (at least for now).
Are you planning to benefit from their union? Speak to one of our software development experts to understand how you can.

Crisis management in power systems: a knowledge based approach
Michael Negnevitsky
School of Engineering, University of Tasmania, Australia
currently visiting Department of Computer Science, RIT
mn@cs.rit.edu
In emergency and abnormal conditions, a power system operator has to deal with a large amount of data and apply the most appropriate remedial actions. However, due to emotional and psychological stress, an operator may not be able to adequately respond to critical conditions and make correct decisions. Mistakes can damage very expensive power system equipment or worse lead to the major emergencies and catastrophic situations. Intelligent systems can play an advisory role, suggesting necessary actions, which should clear a given emergency or abnormal condition. This paper outlines some experience obtained at the School of Engineering, University of Tasmania in developing intelligent knowledge based systems.
Michael Negnevitsky received his BSEE (1st class honours) and Ph.D degrees from Byelorussian University of Technology in 1978 and 1983 respectively. From 1984 to 1991 he worked there as a Senior Research Fellow and Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering. After his arrival to Australia, Dr M. Negnevitsky worked at Monash University, Melbourne. Currently, he is a Professor in the School of Engineering at the University of Tasmania, Australia. His major interests include power system analysis, power quality and intelligent systems applications in power systems. He has published over 200 papers. Dr M. Negnevitsky is a Senior Member of IEAust and a Member of IEEE. He is also a Member of CIGRE AP36 (Electromagnetic Compatibility), Australian Technical Committee.

@Inventors, Facts and Family
Sir Richard Arkwright was an 18th century inventor known as 'the Father of the Industrial Revolution'
BritishBusiness PeopleInventors & DiscoverersCapricorn Celebrities
Sir Richard Arkwright was an 18th century English inventor and industrialist known as 'the Father of the Industrial Revolution'. He was a leading entrepreneur and is credited to be the creator of the modern factory system which enabled the large scale economical production of standardized components. A very creative inventor, he invented the spinning frame and a rotary carding engine that transformed raw cotton into cotton lap. However, it was his development of the modern factory system that made his name immortal in the annals of history. Born as the youngest child in a large family, he grew up in poverty. His father, a tailor, was so poor that he could not even afford to send Richard to school. After learning to read and write from a cousin, he apprenticed with a barber and started making a living as a wig-maker. In his career as a wig-maker he came into contact with many weavers and spinners and eventually entered the textile business. He became a successful businessman and devised a method for mass-producing yarn which greatly improved the efficiency of the production process and improved profitability. Over a period of time he established textile mills in several locations and died a very wealthy man

Richard Arkwright born at
Preston, Lancashire
In 1755 he married Patience Holt and they had a son the same year. Unfortunately his wife died in 1756.
A few years later he married Margaret Biggins in 1761. They had three children of whom only one survived to adulthood.
He died on 3 August 1792, at the age of 59. He was a wealthy man at the time of his death, with factories in Derbyshire, Staffordshire, Lancashire and Scotland, and a fortune of £500,000.
Richard Arkwright was born in Preston, Lancashire, England on 23 December 1732. His father, Thomas, was a tailor and a Preston Guild burgess, and his mother's name was Sarah. Richard was the youngest of 13 children.
His family was a humble one and his parents did not have enough money to send him to school, so he learnt to read and write from a cousin.
As a young man he was apprenticed to a barber in a nearby town.
He embarked on a career as a barber and wig-maker. He was an intelligent and hard working young man and soon set up his own shop at Churchgate in Bolton in the early 1750s.
Blessed with a creative bent of mind, he invented a waterproof dye for use on a type of fashionable wigs called 'periwigs'. Over a period of time he expanded his business and he travelled across the country buying human hair for use in the manufacture of wigs.
He came into contact with weavers and spinners in his profession as a wig-maker and when the market for his wigs started declining he decided to enter the textile business.
In the 1760s he became fascinated with spinning machineries and began the construction of his first machine—a mechanical device for spinning cotton thread. Working along with a clockmaker, John Kay, he worked on the spinning machine and finally patented the spinning frame in 1769.
Even though he had invented the spinning frame, there were still several problems involved in the process of spinning that needed to be addressed. The raw cotton had to be prepared by a hand process and the spinning frame had to be made suitable for practical wide-spread use to be commercially viable.
Richard Arkwright is best known as 'the Father of the Industrial Revolution'. He is credited to have devised a method of mass-production that not only increased the efficiency of machines, but also standardized products, and enabled the manufacturers to earn increased profits.

India : Single brand retailers active - Q4 2013
Published on 06/02/2014 at 11:31
You must be a subscriber to print this article
A research produced by
The overall take-up activity in malls in Q4 2013 was lower than Q3 2013 and was largely concentrated in newly opened malls. High-street in most cities, on the other hand, witnessed a rise in demand from both domestic and international retailers. The rise in demand for high-street locations can be attributed to the lack of availability in prime malls.
Despite the slowdown in the economy, several single brand retailers remained active in 2013. International retailers such as Starbucks opened over 25 stores during the year where as retailers such as Michael Kors, Emilio Pucci, Stuart Weitzman and KidZania opened their first outlets in India.
Q4 witnessed cumulative new supply of 1.09 million sq ft as compared to 1.59 million sq ft in Q3. However, the cumulative new supply recorded in 2013 was 51% higher than that in 2012. With several malls currently under construction, 9.8 million sq ft of mall space is likely to become operational in 2014 spread across the seven major cities in India.
The cumulative vacancy level of the seven cities remained in double digits. However, Bengaluru, Chennai and Hyderabad recorded low vacancy levels of 6.67%, 6.5% and 4.5% respectively, at the end of Q4 2013. With supply outpacing demand and high availability in underperforming malls, vacancy levels in Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad and Kolkata increased by 4.0% to 6.0% in 2013.
With high vacancy levels in existing malls and tepid demand, the average prime mall rents across the seven cities grew by 6.0% in 2013. The prime high-street rents, on the other, hand grew only by 3.0% during the year.
Due to tough economic conditions, retailers have been cautious with their expansion plans in 2013. However with the Delhi government announcing its plans to ban Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) in the retail sector in Delhi, most retailers have now adopted a "wait and see" strategy due to the prevailing uncertain political environment in the country. With the general elections due in May 2014, the first half of the year is therefore expected to remain slow.

The .223 WSSM (Winchester Super Short Magnum, 5.56×42mm) is a .224 caliber rifle cartridge created by Winchester and Browning based on a shortened version of the Winchester Short Magnum case.
The .223 WSSM was introduced in 2003 by the Browning Arms Company, Winchester Ammunition, and Winchester Repeating Arms Company. The .223 designation is a reference to the popular .223 Remington. It is currently claimed to be the fastest production .22 caliber round in the world with muzzle velocities as high as 4,600 feet per second (1,402 meters per second), but this is not completely true. The .220 Swift still holds the record as the fastest .22 caliber centerfire cartridge with a published velocity of 4665 fps using a 29 grain projectile and 42 grains of 3031 powder.[2][3][4][5]
Even before the cartridge was commercially introduced, it was claimed[according to whom?] that it would be extremely hard on barrels and high wear would lead to short barrel life. Another criticism is that, although the round is suited for long range varmint hunting, it is not good for medium game any farther than 200 yards.[6]
The Winchester made Model 70 in .223 WSSM has not been revived in the new Browning-made Winchester Model 70s, but Browning has chosen to use chrome-lined barrels on all of its guns chambered for .223 WSSM and has introduced the .223 WSSM cartridge as a chambering in its A-bolt rifles. Browning rejects the charge that the .223 WSSM round is especially hard on barrels: "The 223 and 243 WSSM cartridges are said to 'burn up' barrels in as little as 300 rounds. Nothing could be further from the truth."[7]
According to Browning, the .223 WSSM offers a 600 ft/s (180 m/s) gain with a 55 gr (3.6 g) bullet over the standard .223 Rem. It also offers a 440 ft/s (130 m/s) gain over the .22-250, a popular varmint round. This comes out to a 600 ft?lbf (810 J) gain over a standard .223 Rem, and a 350 ft?lbf (470 J) gain over the .22-250.[8]

Q: Create a program without infinite loop I have to create a program that adds all the numbers from 1 to n following an equation. Then I want to add the total for those iterations in the total_bis list and have it again ask the user for a number of iterations and recalculate them. Without going into an infinite loop (which is what is happening to me). When the user gives the order to finish, the program ends.
Thanks.
n_iteraciones = int(input('Especifique el numero de iteraciones:'))

total_bis = []
total = 0
for elem in range(1, n_iteraciones + 1):
    total += elem * (elem +1) /2
    total_bis.append(total)

print(f'total: {total} para {n_iteraciones} iteraciones')

while True:
    n_iteraciones != 0
    print(n_iteraciones)

    if n_iteraciones == 0:
        break

n = len(total_bis)
print(n)

A: I think this is what you want to achieve:
while True:

    total_bis = []
    total = 0
    n_iteraciones = int(input('Especifique el numero de iteraciones:'))

    if n_iteraciones != 0:
        for elem in range(1, n_iteraciones + 1):
            total += elem * (elem +1) /2
            total_bis.append(total)
        print(f'total: {total} para {n_iteraciones} iteraciones')
    else:
        break

A: You can ask for the user input inside a loop. If the user selects q instead, the loop breaks:
while True:
    n_iteraciones = input("Especifique el numero de iteraciones (pulse q para salir): ")
    if n_iteraciones == "q":
        break

    total_bis = []
    total = 0
    for elem in range(1, int(n_iteraciones) + 1):
        total += elem * (elem + 1) / 2
        total_bis.append(total)

    print(f"total: {total} para {n_iteraciones} iteraciones")

Hollywood Wildcat (1990 – June 23, 2012) was an American Thoroughbred racehorse. Bred by and raced by Irving & Marjorie Cowan, her sire was Kris S., an outstanding sire of five Breeders' Cup winners. Her dam, Miss Wildcatter, was a daughter of Mr. Prospector, a nine-time Leading broodmare sire in North America.

Trained by Emmanuel Tortora, at age two Hollywood Wildcat won her first four starts until an injury in September ended her 1992 racing campaign. After going winless in her first five starts of 1993, Hollywood Wildcat's owners sent her to the California stables of their trainer Neil Drysdale. She promptly won four straight important stakes races then made it five with a win in the Breeders' Cup Distaff, defeating such stars as Paseana and Sky Beauty. Hollywood Wildcat's 1993 performances earned her American Champion Three-Year-Old Filly honors.

Sent back to racing at age four, Hollywood Wildcat made six starts, winning twice, finishing second twice, third once and sixth in her attempt to win a second Breeders' Cup Distaff. Her most important win in 1994 was the Grade 1 Gamely Handicap at Hollywood Park Racetrack. At age five, Hollywood Wildcat made five starts with a single win in the Little Brianne Stakes at Santa Anita Park.

In 2002, Hollywood Wildcat was inducted in the Calder Race Course Hall of Fame.

Breeding record
Hollywood Wildcat was retired from racing in 1995 and began broodmare duty the following year. She was bred to high-profile stallions such as Danehill, Danzig, Storm Cat, and Giant's Causeway from whom she produced nine foals. Among them was Ivan Denisovich, a son of Danehill and a winner of the 2005 July Stakes at England's Newmarket Racecourse. In the United States, her colt War Chant, by Danzig, won the 2000 Breeders' Cup Mile and had career earnings of more than $1.1 million.

In 2012, Hollywood Wildcat died at the Oak Tree Division of Lane's End Farm in Lexington, Kentucky. Her last foal was born in 2010.

'Walk into the Light': Tuscora Park event honors loved ones lost to suicide
Jon Baker TimesReporter.com staff writer Staff Reporter
Sep 14, 2019 at 5:44 PM Sep 15, 2019 at 6:24 AM
NEW PHILADELPHIA Miss Ohio 2018 Maddi-Lynn Chrisman of Cambridge shared the story of her struggle with depression during the annual "Walk into the Light" suicide prevention walk Saturday at Tuscora Park.
Depression has controlled 90 percent of my adult life, she said. When she was a student at Kent State University, she isolated herself so much that "darkness was who I was."
Now, she is on the road to recovery.
"I chose to talk about this because saying these things out loud validates what happened to me, because only I know what happened to me," Chrisman told the crowd gathered for the walk. "And saying these things out loud lets everyone around me say, oh wow, I felt like that once. It normalizes the conversation that we're now having."
This was the first year that the "Walk into the Light" has been held at Tuscora Park. For the past four years, it has been staged in Newcomerstown. Participants gathered at the Tuscora Park amphitheater to hear speakers. That was followed by a balloon launch, and then participants walked around the park.
More than 300 walkers signed up this year.
"The importance of the walk today is to honor the loved ones we've lost to suicide and the survivors that are left behind," said Kristie Wilkin, a local suicide prevention advocate and co-chair of the event. "It's a day that we can all come together and support each other and maybe learn something from the speakers today."
Chrisman told the crowd she had a great life growing up in Cambridge.
"My life was awesome," she said. "But by the time I was 17 years old, I knew that there was something very wrong with me. I felt lonely and angry and tired and crushed for no reason, no reason at all. I couldn't find the words to explain to anybody what was happening to me."
Things got worse when she went to college.
When she opened up to people about her problems, she was told not to tell anyone, because no one would want to be her friend, no one would hire her and no one would want to be in a relationship with her.
"That advice created an anxiety so deep within me that I was constantly looking over my shoulder," Chrisman said. "I was constantly praying that the kid next to me in class didn't notice that I had terrible bags under my eyes, that I had just failed another exam and I barely made it to class at all."
In March 2017, she woke up one morning and decided she'd had enough. She then began traveling on the road to recovery.
"Getting better has been a really long journey that I'm still on and I'll probably travel on the rest of my life," she said.
After she won the Miss Ohio crown in 2018, she started a campaign called Pain Isn't Always Obvious. She travels the state, talking to different schools and organizations. Her campaign teaches mental health awareness and suicide prevention to different groups in age-appropriate ways.
Chrisman noted the people attending the walk Saturday already support her cause.
So she encouraged them, "The real work has to be done when we leave here. What we do outside of this bubble of hope is what is going to matter."
Another speaker was Katy Wells, special education director at Tuscarawas Valley Local Schools in Zoarville, who talked about the district's Hope Squad, a mentoring program to help students dealing with stress and depression.
It is the first one in the county.
"This time last year we were noticing a large uptick in referrals from parents, students and teachers of kids who were really struggling with some heavy life issue and just risky behaviors and over-stressed in their classes and athletics, and our guidance doors were constantly revolving," she said. "As soon as a student would come out, a new student would go in."
About that time, faculty and staff approached Superintendent Mark Murphy about what could be done to address the issue. They went to a conference and heard about the Hope Squad, a peer-to-peer mentor program that helps teens learn to identify, persuade and refer kids for help, to avoid them getting into a place where they think suicide is their only choice.
The program includes 21 student mentors who were nominated by their peers.

Brandon Crawford, Giants living up to new motto of 'Let The Old Guys Play'
Sports // Giants
July 7, 2021 Updated: July 7, 2021 6:55 p.m.
San Francisco Giants' Brandon Crawford hits an RBI double in 5th inning against St. Louis Cardinals during MLB game at Oracle Park in San Francisco, Calif., on Tuesday, July 6, 2021.

Brandon Crawford (35) touches home after hitting his two-run homerun in the fifth inning as the San Francisco Giants played the Arizona Diamondbacks at Oracle Park in San Francisco, Calif., on Monday, June 14, 2021.
Carlos Avila Gonzalez / The ChronicleShow MoreShow Less
Two years ago, Major League Baseball introduced an ad campaign encouraging personalities and celebrations and pooh-poohing the unwritten rules of yesteryear.
"Let The Kids Play" was the slogan.
Well, the Giants have a little different slogan, and it's the perfect touch for their 2021 season.
Players and coaches were seen before Tuesday's game wearing "Let The Old Guys Play" T-shirts, an obvious reference to the team's elder statesmen who have made major impacts this year.
"I think they're just more funny than anything," 34-year-old shortstop Brandon Crawford said after collecting four hits in the Giants' 6-5 loss to the Cardinals on Tuesday.
"We as veteran guys still have a lot to offer, not just from a baseball standpoint but experience and showing some of the younger guys either the right way to play the game or tips here and there about the game at this level.
"I think that's what every team needs. I had it coming up, and I think it's pretty important."
However, not all the "old guys" have played lately. Of the four core everyday players well into their 30s, only Crawford is healthy. Third baseman Evan Longoria, 35, and first baseman Brandon Belt, 33, are on the injured list with a shoulder sprain and knee inflammation, respectively.
Future face of the franchise? Marco Luciano pursues his Giants destiny
Giants' moves: Tyler Beede back in majors, Jaylin Davis to injured list
Catcher Buster Posey, 34, has been shelved since Sunday with a thumb contusion.
Still, all have done their part for a team that owns the majors' best record. In fact, the Giants entered Wednesday leading the National League in home runs, and look who was leading the team: Crawford with 17, and Posey (12) and Belt (11) are among the other three hitters with double-digit homers, along with Mike Yastrzemski (12).
Longoria, despite not playing since the first week of June, was tied for fifth with nine.
Despite the veterans missing time, the Giants began Wednesday ahead of the mighty Dodgers and Padres in the NL West and on track for their first playoff appearance since 2016, their losses Monday and Tuesday to St. Louis, notwithstanding.
"It's hard to replace somebody like Belt or Buster or Longoria," Crawford said, "but we've had guys that have stepped up and done well and gotten some big hits and played some good defense for us.
"It's about trying to get through this little time period without them with some wins and not dropping off too much, and hopefully we'll get them back soon."
Crawford, like the other three 30-somethings, has been open-minded to the Giants' analytic-driven coaching staff.
Crawford's 17 homers through Wednesday are four shy of his career high, and one more this week would tie him with Jose Valentin (2004 White Sox) for most homers by a shortstop at least 34 years old before the All-Star break.
On Tuesday, Crawford opened the ninth inning with his fourth hit, only to be stranded at third when Jason Vosler crushed a ball that was caught by left fielder Dylan Carlson before he crashed into the wall.
"I feel good," Crawford said of his work at the plate. "I've gotten more and more comfortable with some of the stuff we've been working on and keeping a more consistent bat path and direction with my swing."
Crawford said two of his hits, a two-run single to left-center and RBI double to right, were the result of "exactly what we've worked on. They got a little deep on me with the fastball and cutter in those at-bats, but my direction was good in going the right way to be able to get hits out of them."
The Giants hope to get healthier after the break. Posey continues to receive treatment and likely would be available to pinch hit before working his way into the lineup. Belt hit off a tee Tuesday and threw from 110 feet. Longoria is behind the others and still doing light baseball activity.
At some point in the second half, perhaps the band will be back together.
As they say, let the old guys play.

Q: How to unlist a vector [1:3] in R? I have a vector which has "lists" inside, it appears as it has 3 elements (as it was a list).
This is how it looks:

When you type str(my_complete_vector) you get that is a vector not a list of lists.
str(my_complete_vector)
 chr [1:3] "SIGLEC14, TOM1, LOC102725035, CRISP3, VAT1, ATG7, AGPAT2, OLFM4, LOC107987462, CEACAM3, HPSE, CEACAM8, RAB10, C"| __truncated__ ...

However, I need a vector [1:1] and I don't know how can I get it (note that some genes are repeated, so I would like to remove them if they are already saved).
I have tried with a for loop, to fill a new vector, but it doesn't work, because it gets the same form.
This is a reproducible example:

yy = as.data.frame(enrichPathway(genes, pvalueCutoff=0.05, readable=T))

my_genes <- yy$geneID

my_complete_vector <- c()
for(i in 1:length(my_genes)){
  mylist <- my_genes[i]
  mylist <- gsub('/', ', ', mylist)
  my_complete_vector <- c(my_complete_vector, mylist)
}

Does anyone know how to help me?
Thanks very much in advance
