An Interview With My Italian Grandfather In 1968
Chad August 14, 2010 April 16, 2014 Family, Opinion 1 Comment
Prior to a family reunion a couple of years ago, a relative of mine ran across an interview with my maternal grandfather, Claude Smeraglia, from July of 1968. At the time, he lived and worked in an Italian-American enclave adjacent to the airport in Birmingham, Alabama. The interview was conducted by a Samford University student at the East Side Drug Company, a pharmacy he owned and operated. I'm guessing the student's thesis was a comparison of past cultural discrimination with the racial discrimination and unrest that dominated the headlines at the time. To put his remarks in context, you need to remember the social and political turmoil of 1968. His thoughts on the growing entitlement mentality and Americans' demands for cultural assimilation seem eerily prescient.
She interviewed him for the better part of an hour and half. Just so you know, Smeraglia is pronounced "smer-AL-ya." If you'd like to put a face with the name, here's a picture of Claude on his wedding day:
These are her notes, so there are some misspellings and grammar mistakes throughout:
Both parents born in Italy from the village of Castelvetrano, about 100 miles inland from Palermo, Italy. Father, Antonio Smeraglia, did truck gardening in Sicily. Father came to America in 1894, arrived with other men Port of New Orleans, worked in sugar cane fields for $1.00 a day from sun-up to sun-down, and re-hired each day for the benefit of the employer, culling out those who worked hard from those who did not. Employment was not steady, therefore he saved his money. Six months later, he brought wife (Martha Spallina Smeraglia) to New Orleans. Heard about TCI ore mines between Bessemer and Tuscaloosa (Russellville), Alabama, where employment was steadier than in Louisiana. Mr. Smeraglia, the interviewee, was born Feb. 3, 1905 in that area of Russellville, Alabama. He was the fourth of six children (3 older brothers Louis, Joe & Frank, 2 sisters Lil Smeraglia Lett and Bessie Smeraglia Tommasello). Antonio saved his money, bought property, and started vegetable/garden farming. First son Louis was born in Castlevetrano, Italy, next sons Frank and Joe were born in Donaldsonville, LA. Antonio's daughters Lil and Bessie were all born in Russellville, Alabama. Once Antonio and Martha established the farm they never moved away.
Claude Smeraglia is second generation, attended Barrett School in 1913. Italian dialect was spoken at home. Parents had little need of English as they lived among other Italians, and attended the Catholic Church, everyone around them spoke Italian. The immigrants learned English by picking up words here and there while doing business, and through the children as they were enrolled in school, but – Italian was spoken in the home, their Sicilian dialect. There were some English classes available to the immigrants in Birmingham taught by volunteers – enough to answer the questions necessary for successful completion of naturalization to become a citizen of the United States of America. He does not remember exactly what year his Father became naturalized, but is almost sure that it was before World War I. Mother, Martha was naturalized through her husband.
When the children started speaking English, they had a hard time communicating with their parents, trying to find the "right" Italian word for what they were trying to say. His parents did not formally learn English any other way except by working on the farm, enough to be self-sufficient. The six children in the family all helped with work on the farm. As a farmer, Antonio dealt with, and was instrumental in helping to create – thus being a charter member – of the produce association which was in several locations before finally settling on Findley Avenue, where it remains today as the Farmers' Market.
Antonio Smeraglia gained much knowledge from the two Italian newspapers he subscribed to – one from New Orleans and the other from New York. There was no Birmingham Italian newspaper at the time.
Antonio's children attended public school as parochial schools were not in vogue at the time. Besides, as it was, there was no parochial school in existence then, so there was no other alternative. Claude began Barrett School in 1913. Prior to first grade, he had played with neighborhood children occasionally, and they did get along – once they got to know each other. Italian was never taught in the public schools. Everyone adapted. However, he as well as his siblings came into contact with real discrimination when they began school, not only classmates but distinctly remembers the teachers' attitudes and that of the principal, not direct and official, but rather "indirect and sensed". If there was trouble or an actual fight, the Italians were treated as the "guilty or suspected" ones. They were called names like crossbacks (Catholics), fish eaters, spaghetti eaters, dago, made fun of our names, religion and nationality. It was understood that they felt the Italian immigrant was inferior.
Claude was conscious of his Italian heritage, and of his parents' background being different from Americans', immigrant children felt that their parents were stricter, it was evident that they were respectful for the "older" generation. When the children experienced disagreements and/or fights at school because of name calling, they would not tell their parents unless they were left with a physical mark. As far as the immigrants (from the adults to the children) were concerned, it was understood that the "Americans" or "natives" thought them foreigners, did not understand them, the Italian children felt that their classmates and "American" children in general felt sorry for them in a way, were naive in their name calling and were just repeating what they had picked up from their parents. Claude and his siblings attended Woodlawn High School. Their parents always felt that education was important for success.
Antonio and Martha tried to get their children to attend school through the 12th grade but the 3 oldest boys (Louis, Frank and Joe) were not interested in higher education and quit before graduating high school, Louis quit after 6th or 7th grade, preferring to work the farm and take care of the family interests, which in turn gave Claude the chance to take advantage of the opportunity to go to college. He was originally interested in chemical engineering but from a friend got interested in the idea of pharmacy. Since Claude opened the drug store, he says he has served some former classmates in his business without talking of the past, but he remembers what they went through with the discrimination. As the immigrant children grew up, many times they were reluctant to disclose that they were Catholic or Italian because of the previous and present discrimination. Claude felt that he was automatically cut from the social circle, especially when starting Pharmacy School in 1926 at Howard College. After 3 years of Pharmacy School, 1929 Howard College lost it's accreditation for their Pharmacy School during the Depression. The Dean of Pharmacy and six Pharmacy students (one being Claude) went to the University of Tennessee in Memphis and graduated from the School of Pharmacy in 1930.
On the other hand, he always felt that the Italians were given a "chance" because they were allowed to attend white public schools, a distinct advantage over the negro situation at the time. Italian parents accepted the negro from the southern point of view, but did not mix with them socially because they did not want to violate the customs of the community. They had no innate prejudice nor real hatred of the negroes, just trying to get along within the community.
During the First World War Claude remembers that some went back to be conscripted into the Italian army, but returned to the US when the war was over. He does not recall any incidents toward Italians then, maybe because Italy was on the "allied" side. During Mussolini's time, Claude felt that Mussolini did much to raise the prestige of the Italians in America, which was one of the reasons the Italians in America supported him, but then felt that Mussolini spoiled it all by declaring war on France, which was a mistake. Claude felt bad personally, and remains convinced that it lowered the esteem of the local Italians in the eyes of the community.
As far as the "black hand" goes, Claude felt that it had no root in Birmingham as this was not a large enough town to make it worthwhile for any rackets. He feels that Mussolini did good in trying to stamp it out in Sicily.
The Italian immigrants settled in sections or neighborhoods by themselves where they would be able to socialize, the elders felt free to speak the language comfortable to them, where they all enjoyed the same religion and practiced the same customs. This was what was familiar to them. At the time there were basically two Italian sections in Birmingham – The airport area and the Ensley area. It was the airport area that Claude Smeraglia's people settled. Where the airport stands today was originally truck farms set up by that section of the Italian community. The city of Birmingham bought many of the truck farms when planning and constructing the airport – because of the flatness of the land. When the airport came to be, the Italians scattered around the airport itself and on into the East Lake area. Antonio & Martha Smeraglia and their children remained at the airport, which today is that property on which is the present location of Claude's drug store. The property was bigger at one time, but has been divided among the children. At present, there is drug store, also other two stores (grocery, niece Marie Smeraglia Barranco) and cafe (brother, Joe) along with the gas station (brother, Louis) and more property owned by Mr. Smeraglia and his siblings.
U.S.P.P. was a club in which both Claude and his Father were members. He doesn't remember what the name stood for. It is not in existence now. He is not a member of the Sons of Italy but is aware of it. He said that the Italians tried to form a central Italian Community Center, like the Jewish have, but it never succeeded – mainly because of lack of funds. Italians did not accumulate capital as the Jews had done.
He does not think the immigrant Italians are very interested in political organizations. Not enough of them here to make their vote worth a difference to either party. He gave as an example that there was a man his Father had voted for, and when asked for a favor, made out like he did not know him. There were a few Italians ambitious politically, but does not think they are very interested as a whole in political power.
Claude said that Tony Romeo of Foremost Dairy's personnel division did a great deal for Italians in the community. Joe Fiore, worked at the Jefferson County Court House in the Tax Division and he was uncle to Duke Rumore, who was a local radio DJ and was an Italian active politically but not in a significant way, gains were negligible. Tony and Joe were first cousins and Joe was uncle to Duke. Ironically both Tony and Joe's sons became pharmacists.
Claude felt that World War II lowered the prestige of Italians. Firpo, Washington's Italian consul, was well liked and helped the immigrants with translation, etc. There was no consul after Firpo. The older element was dying out and the younger generation could handle their own affairs with their better command of the English language.
The airport neighborhood was originally all truck farms and eventually the younger generation began to scatter. When Claude married, he moved away from family as he felt that it was the best way to start out. They "moved right in to a nest of rednecks" 5th Avenue North and 79th Street followed by a move again to 3rd Avenue South 73rd Street, near Cascade Plunge, from there to Division Avenue and 68th Street. At first they were isolated, went back to visit their parents and the comfort of the old neighborhood. Eventually they did establish neighborly contacts with the non-Italians but each Sunday brought its own ritual of Sunday Mass followed by large lunches with extended family at the airport.
Concerning intermarriage, Mr. Smeraglia stated that Italians have no prejudice against marrying non-Italians but are more restrained in the question of marrying outside the Catholic religion. It is his belief that religion lasts longest between nationality and language, but nationality loses out in the mixture, even if from Italian stock. He gave as an example that his own children were brought up in a home where English was spoken, consequently his own children "know not one word of Italian." He feels that it is better to know both languages. The children in the end missed out and that began the loss of Italian language and customs for the new generation.
When asked when he felt that Italian was no longer considered part of their "foreign colony" he answered that he believes it was just before World War II and definitely after that war. Feels that the war hastened assimilation in two ways:
The government supplied soldiers with Catholic priests, who celebrated the Catholic mass, which made the ritual less strange, more open, and therefore more acceptable to others.
As buddies, the mixture of Italian soldiers with "Americans", under the pressure of wartime experiences. That broke the barriers of "strangeness" and lessened antagonism. He feels that the same will be true of the negro today.
Asked about tragic situations, many Italians during World War II whose homeland, Italy, was invaded, and their sons were sent to fight in the invasion, said "yes" it is true. Tragic because they did have feelings for the old country. You cannot erase childhood experiences, but also felt that what the immigrants went through when leaving one country and settling in another, certainly in most instances, that tore up whatever roots of allegiance there was to begin with. He mentions that his Father never had any desire to go back to the "old country", not even for a visit. Father, Antonio still had relatives (a sister and brothers) who remained in Sicily and died there. But his Father never returned. He also never regretted coming to the USA, in fact he was proud of the fact and said many times, that after settling in American he "felt like an ox that had had its yoke taken off!"
Concerning discrimination among nationalities under immigration restriction laws:
He feels that much of this is because of the immigrant's occupation here and the type of "classes" coming over from the countries of southern and eastern Europe – living off of the land and coming from less developed environments, unlike northern and western countries, where technically they are more advanced with more opportunity for education. The Italians were hard working, industrious people, but did not represent the technically advanced or better educated class of people. Rather than formal education, the early immigrants brought to this country the trades of their fathers – stone mason, shoe cobbler, vegetable farming and along with that their own form of irrigation systems.
He said that he feels the immigrants displayed "guts" in those days to go off to another country to make a "better" living for themselves and their families, not knowing the language or customs. Also important was that they were willing to break up their family relationships, even temporarily, in order to achieve their goal. He gave his Father as an example of this in that when he left for America after only six months of marriage he could not bring his bride with him then but rather sent for her later after saving money for her fare here.
He strongly feels that when the negro becomes educated to the level of the average American, he will be accepted, HOWEVER – as long as he wants "unearned" privileges, he will not be accepted, only resented. He used the popularity of Governor George C. Wallace as evidence of resentment felt by the people. The negro will find out he needs preparation for his job, just as others did and do. America is not a sick society but does have sore spots which it has tended to overlook in the midst of other developments. However, he feels that, "there is more reason for hope than despair."
Claude Smeraglia has no bitter feelings because of the discriminatory experiences he and his people have endured. He feels that they have had advantages in being the first generation here, with an awareness of two heritages! Again, about the negro he feels that discrimination should not discourage, but rather encourage the negro by learning and earning "some things in life that can't be given to you".
He noted that his son, Anthony (Bo) who attended Jacksonville State University was not aware of any discrimination and states that when son meets someone with an Italian name, he is not especially conscious of that either. He feels that that way of thinking is gone and behind us. Feels that the negro today is where the Italians were in the beginning of the 20th century!
Claude shared a story about a Polish man who saw soap being wasted at the water spigot in a mine in Pennsylvania and decided to go into the soap business, which was the beginning of Lever Brothers Company. He remembered hearing stories about the scarcity of soap in Sicily, in his parents' home village. It was so scarce that they only used soap on Sunday mornings when going to church, then was put away and hidden for the rest of the week.
He suggested that this study be put in a book and a copy placed in the Birmingham Library as a public service. Also said that there was no other way of getting the information as this is "not in any book already".
"America is not a sick society but does have sore spots which it has tended to overlook in the midst of other developments." That's a very tactful, almost poetic statement to make in a casual conversation. I think I would have gotten along pretty well with the guy. Unfortunately, he died before I was born.
When the Birmingham airport expanded in preparation for the Atlanta Olympics in 1996, most of the Italians' land was bought out and many of the old commercial buildings were razed. A once close-knit, thriving community splintered into many pieces and eventually scattered around Birmingham and out to other cities. I guess that's a pretty common tale.

24 Activists Arrested at Senator Norm Coleman's Office.
All of the individuals arrested were demanding that the Senator follow the wishes of the people of Minnesota. A clear majority no longer support the war or occupation of Iraq, as Senator Coleman continues to support the Bush administration's 'surge'.
At 5 PM near Coleman's office, University Avenue was blocked in an action organized by the Anti-War Committee, They lined up barrels, cones and barricades to shut down all four lanes of the major street. All traffic was stopped for 30 minutes. The action symbolized the hardships of daily life in Iraq.
Later, 12 others who sat in Senator Norm Coleman's St. Paul office part of the afternoon, were arrested and cited for trespassing when they refused to leave at 7 PM. The action was organized by the Twin Cities Peace Campaign and was part of the nine week Occupation Project.

If you need a passport to visit New York City, then you also need some cash in your pocket to spend on water, night outs, or anything. This mean you will have to exchange currency in New York City from what it already is to U.S. dollars. The best place to exchange currency in New York City has to be the Big Apple, but there can be some problems when doing this. You may have heard nothing is free in New York City, which means you won't get the currency exchange done free and will get charged. Before you go to exchange currency in New York City, you must be prepared to pay the fees relating to the transaction.
These may charge very less or even nothing for the purchases you make using another currency.
This is so you are ready to face any kind of situations as well as any ATM machines and any security checks. Due to the exchange rate always fluctuating, you may not be aware of how much this is until you have reached home and receive your debit or credit card bill. One thing you must remember is that it costs when converting your preliminary currency to dollars and when converting dollars back to your initial currency. You may think you can go home and go through the exchange process, but one thing you must remember is they will not exchange coins. This means you need to spend all those coins first, as dollar notes can later be exchanged. Before leaving, be sure not to spend everything, as you will need money when paying for the cab and hotel bill, etc.
Before ending your visit, bring back some of the cash in your pocket as you didn't get it for free did you? Make sure you take advantage of every last penny you paid for the transaction fee and have a brilliant story and tons of gifts to travel back home with. You never know, the leftover US dollars may come in handy for next time you decide to take this dream vacation again!

Q: How do we know which field we get in $\mathbb{Q}[x]/(x^3-2)$? In $\mathbb{Q}[x]/(x^3-2)$, we could have $\theta = \sqrt[3]{2}$, but can we not also have $\theta' = \sqrt[3]{2}\omega_3$, where $\omega_3$ is the primitive third root of unity, or $\theta'' = \sqrt[3]{2}\omega_3^2$?
I have learned that the fields $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[3]{2})$ and $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[3]{2}\omega_3)$ are isomorphic, but not equal. Is there a way to know which field we are talking about? Or is it for some reason irrelevant?

List of Best private universities in Nigeria 2021
by Wellborn Education Consult
When speaking of industries that has been hugely influenced by the private sector in Nigeria, the education industry is one of them.
Many years back, if anyone predicted that private individuals or organizations will be establishing and running their own universities in Nigeria, such person would have been seriously mocked because everyone was familiar with only public universities then.
As it is today, private universities are not just in existence alongside government-owned universities but some of these private universities are ranked higher than several public universities when it comes to research, student discipline, technology etc little wonder we now have many private universities situated in different states of the country.
It is safe to say that the private universities have earned their slots in the list of most preferred universities in Nigeria due to many obvious reasons.
Asides from the fact that private universities invest hugely in infrastructure thereby ensuring that students have a conducive learning environment, some of the private institutions are presently at the forefront when it comes to technology, student entrepreneurial education, and research.
Moreover, the fixed academic years of learning in private universities are more reliable than that of public universities, there are much external forces that affects public universities, unlike the private universities.
Do you know that a good number of these private universities have technology hub; some of them even have on campus incubation programs that enhances student business ideas.
If you are a parent or guardian and you desire the best for your ward, you are on the right page as we will be sharing with you, the best private universities in Nigeria. This list will help you in making the right decision as regards your children education.
1. Covenant University, Ota
Occupying the first position on this list is the highly esteemed higher institution of learning, covenant University. It is reasonable to conclude that this university is the best private university in Nigeria and the second best university in Nigeria.
This is so because Covenant University is a fast-growing school established with great vision. The school stands out because it is excellence oriented.
Moreover, it was created with the sole aim of raising new generation of leaders not just for Nigeria, but for the African continent. So you see a school with such a high goal cannot be expected to operate below excellence.
2. Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti
(ABUAD), On the second position, we have ABUAD, a school that is highly regarded as a good model for other private universities in Nigeria for several reasons.
This is the first university in Nigeria who moved to its permanent site, built hostels, staff quarters, and ensured that the teaching facilities were well equipped even before it was given license to operate by the Federal Government of Nigeria.
The school currently has five colleges
College of social and management sciences
3. Landmark University Omu-Aran
This university was founded by the Living Faith Church popularly known as the Winners Chapel.
Land Mark University was established in order to nurture and train students who would become leaders and agents of economic development not just in Nigeria but in Africa.
In this school, all students are taken through high level of information technology training in arts, sciences and entrepreneurship regardless of their field of study or area of academic specialization.
Since its inauguration many years ago , the school has succeeded in impacting knowledge, skill and excellence into the students, and that is why it has earned a second position on the list of top private universities in Nigeria.
4. Babcock University Ilishan- Remo
Speaking of the best higher institutions of learning in Nigeria, Babcock occupies the front row position. Since its establishment in 1999, Babcock has upheld the good reputation of impacting excellence, skill and ensuring modesty in its students.
In the third quarter of 2010, Babcock inaugurated its postgraduate school and its medical school took off in January 2012.
Also, the school has upgraded its departments by adding new programmes in order to meet the present market demands an d to ensure that the school products (graduates from Babcock) are relevant in the market.

The ROI of Social Media Ads
By Alexandra Golaszewska
I'm asked all the time whether it's worth spending money to advertise on social media. The answer is that it depends on your audience, and how well you target them.
For example, today I saw an ad in my Facebook newsfeed that's for something a mom might buy for her daughter. Some women my age are mothers, but I'm not. Whoever set up that campaign just targeted women within a certain age range, without narrowing it down any more than that, which means that a lot of the views — and therefore the money — is being wasted.
Here's a better way to do it, and a specific example.
I recently ran a campaign for an organization that holds fundraising events all over the United States. The goal was to get people to sign up and pay to register for a local event; results were tracked through a Facebook pixel.
I was responsible for boosting registration in multiple cities. Here's what I did.
Had my client split the list into higher and lower priority cities.
Took the ad budget and made a spreadsheet listing what we'd spend in each place, using the total budget as my starting point.
Wrote customized copy for each city. It didn't need to be complicated, but it did need to prominently include the date, place and cause. A generic version that covers every location is a lot less work, but it's also a lot less effective.
Created my target audience. In this case, I included people of all ages and genders, and targeted by location (living within 25 miles of the events) and interest. The ads were shown to those who were Facebook fans of nonprofit organizations, advocacy groups and businesses related to the cause I was promoting.
Set up campaigns and ad sets for each city. (These were created as ads only, so they did not show up on the organization's timeline or in the news feed of anyone who didn't live in the area being targeted.) Facebook allows you to create a group of ads that will go to the same targeted audience, but it will rotate up to 6 images. Once it sees which images are doing well, it will show those more frequently.
These are the results from the past 10 weeks:
Reach: (number of people who saw one of the ads in the campaign): 176,611
Amount spent: (Facebook ad fees only; does not include our fees for ad creation and setup): $3648.95
Complete registration: (people who registered and paid for the event after clicking a Facebook ad): 429
People taking action: (this includes people who liked the ad, shared it, etc.): 8920
The organization has a formula for calculating how much money each registered participant is expected to bring in. In this case, the total from those who registered through this campaign was $41,000.

Futures muted after Nike's surprise loss, Fed's pandemic analysis
https://i-invdn-com.akamaized.net/trkd-images/LYNXMPEG5P0ZG_L.jpg
(Reuters) – Futures tracking the S&P 500 were largely flat on Friday as investors digested a surprise quarterly loss for Nike (NYSE:NKE) and the Federal Reserve's move to limit shareholder payouts by banks amid a surge in new coronavirus cases.
Nike slipped 3.4%, the most among the 24 of 30 blue-chip Dow Jones Industrials (DJI) constituents trading before the bell, as the footwear maker posted its first loss in more than two years hurt by store closures.
U.S. lenders Bank of America Corp (N:BAC), JPMorgan Chase & Co (N:JPM), Goldman Sachs (N:GS) fell between 1.4% and 3.2% after the Fed capped dividend payments and barred share repurchases until at least the fourth quarter following its annual stress test.
In the previous session, banks stocks had powered Wall Street's main indexes higher, helping them offset investor fears due to rising virus infections in several U.S. states.
The uptick in cases has also threatened to derail a strong rally for Wall Street that brought the S&P 500 within 9% of its February all-time high on the back of record government stimulus measures.
At 6:26 a.m. ET, Dow e-minis <1YMcv1> were down 50 points, or 0.2%. S&P 500 e-minis were up 2 points, or 0.07% and Nasdaq 100 e-minis were up 15.25 points, or 0.15%.
Facebook Inc (O:FB) fell 0.8% after Verizon Communications Inc (N:VZ) joined an advertising boycott that called out the social media giant for not doing enough to stop hate speech on its platforms.
The U.S. Commerce Department's data at 8:30 a.m. ET is expected to show personal income dropped 6% in May after surging 10.5% in April.
Separately, a reading of core personal consumption expenditures price index likely remained unchanged last month after easing 0.4% in April.
Friday also marks the reconstitution of the FTSE Russell indexes, including large cap Russell 1000 <.RUI> and small cap Russell 2000 (RUT), that often marks one of the biggest trading volume days of the year.

The AL Championship Series participants will be decided in a pair of deciding Game 5s. In Toronto, the Blue Jays host the Rangers at 4:07 p.m. EDT to complete a series in which the visiting team has won every game. Then at 8:07 p.m. EDT, the top-seeded Royals will try to carry over momentum from a late-inning comeback in Game 4 in their series finale against the Astros.
Adrian Beltre is hoping to get back in the lineup for Game 5 after missing time this series with lower back stiffness. The Rangers' four-time All-Star and Gold Glove winner was pulled from Game 1 and didn't return until Game 4, when he singled twice despite clearly still being bothered by the injury. Rangers manager Jeff Banister said Tuesday that he hadn't heard news either way from the training staff regarding Beltre's condition after the third baseman played Monday. ''I take that as we're all good,'' Banister said.
The Royals will ask Johnny Cueto to fulfill the role they envisioned when they traded away three top prospects for him before this year's non-waiver trade deadline - be the shutdown ace in a deciding postseason game. The former Reds pitcher is 0-2 with a 5.52 ERA in four career playoff starts, though, and didn't exactly carry Kansas City into the postseason after the deal with Cincinnati was made. Cueto can become a free agent after this season, so this could be his final outing as a Royal.
The Cubs get to recover after a raucous night that included the franchise's first postseason series clinch at historic Wrigley Field. The Cubs hit 10 homers in the final three games of their series against the Cardinals after being shut out in Game 1 of the best-of-five set. They get a few off days to recover from the festivities, which included partying with Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder, and will prep to open the NL Championship Series on the road Saturday.
The right to host Saturday's NL Championship Series opener will be decided Thursday when the Mets and Dodgers play Game 5 of their NL Division Series. For LA, starter Zack Greinke led all qualifying starters with a 1.66 ERA this season, while Mets pitcher Jacob deGrom was sixth with a 2.54 mark. In Game 1, deGrom outpitched Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw, striking out 13 batters in his postseason debut. Greinke then got the win in Game 2, allowing two solo home runs and not much else over seven strong innings.
Police are planning to have a strong presence at Game 5 at Dodger Stadium after a fan was critically injured in a fight outside the ballpark following Game 1. The two people suspected of injuring the man are a mother and son, who are being sought by the police, according to Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck. Security at Dodger Stadium came under national scrutiny after a 2011 attack in the parking lot on opening day left Giants fan Bryan Stow with brain damage. Beck said that stadium security has been significantly enhanced since that beating, which led to a jury awarding Stow nearly $18 million from the team in a six-week trial in 2014.

History Canceled:Regents Eliminates History Assesments
The New York State Board of Regents voted to approve two sets of strategies to achieve cost reductions in the state assessment program at its full Board meeting in Albany this week. History educators will no doubt be appalled at the elimination of 5th and 8th grade Social Studies examinations, which include the history curriculum. The two plans were laid out in a press release:
* If the State budget includes the $7 million that the Regents have requested for the assessment program, the Board approved a cost reduction of $4.25 million to be achieved through reduced reliance on educational specialists in developing tests ($1.25 million), discontinuance of paper-based scoring materials for examinations ($.60 million), elimination of component retesting for high school Math and English exams ($1.6 million), and elimination of 5th and 8th grade Social Studies examinations ($.80 million).
* If the State budget does not include the $7 million that the Regents have requested, or a final State Budget is not in place by August 1, 2010, the Board approved additional reductions of $6.1 million to further offset the deficit. These reductions would be achieved by eliminating Grade 8 second language proficiency exams ($2.0 million), eliminating August administration of Algebra II/Trigonometry and Chemistry high school Regents exams ($.8 million), eliminating all high school Foreign Language exams except for Spanish and French($1.2 million), an immediate end to translation of state assessments into Chinese, Haitian-Creole, Korean, and Russian while continuing translation into Spanish ($.75 million), and eliminating January high school Regents exams ($1.4 million).
Should additional funds be included in the P-12 budget the reductions listed last in the priority order above would be the first to be restored.
&#8220These were tough decisions made in light of the State's difficult financial situation&#8221 Regents Chancellor Merryl Tisch said, &#8220Foremost in our consideration was the concern we heard from stakeholders across the State that the cuts to the assessment program made to achieve savings should not have an impact on high school graduation.&#8221
Background on these decisions was also provided in the press release, as follows:
The State Education Department's expense to operate the assessment program continues to rise in light of the State's fiscal crisis as a result of several factors including: inflation, the addition of examinations, increased cost of testing vendor contracts, and the need for more test security. Based on the Executive Budget, SED projects a deficit of approximately $11.5 million in available funding in 2010-11 for P-12 programs, including the assessment program. The Regents have requested $7 million in additional State funds for the assessment program from the Legislature. The State Education Department has limited ability to address the P-12 deficit by redirecting federal or state funds dedicated to specific purposes by title or statute. SED will explore further internal cost reduction strategies to eliminate the remaining deficit of $1.1 million in the P-12 budget.
Full details of the cost reduction strategies the Board of Regents approved are on the web.
A webcast of the full board meeting of the Board of Regents is also available online.

Peter Feinman: The Intersection Of History And Tourism


The Mediterranean basin region presents a wide diversity of habitats and ecosystem, and also has a long history of human settlements. For this reason the Mediterranean landscape as we know it today, been shaped and modeled over the centuries as result of interactions with human needs. As result of long period of co-evolution the Mediterranean landscape is very much influenced by human activities, and also Mediterranean cultures have co-evolving and adapted to the ecosystem services available.
This long history relation is, however, under increasing threat, as pressure over natural resources increases. To address this concern IUCN promotes the management of ecosystems through the application of the Ecosystem Approach. IUCN believes that human wellbeing is directly related to the presence of healthy ecosystems.
Protected Areas, where the programme focus on management effectiveness of protected areas, integration of sustainable development in protected areas, including tourism, and promoting connectivity and integration of protected areas in networks, including transboundary Protected Areas.
Ecosystems risk assessments and identification of key areas, where the programme aims at compiling information on ecosystem risk of collapse, and support identification of areas key for persistence of biodiversity.
Drylands /Desertification, where the programme aims at raising the importance of drylands in supporting human life, and reverting land degradation processes.
Ecosystem Restoration aims to support the processes of recovery of Mediterranean ecosystems that have been degraded, or damaged.

The Reserve unit claimed Best Squadron, Best Crew, Best Aircraft Maintenance Unit, and Best Crew Chiefs awards at the conclusion of the five-day competition. Calling the win "a great honor," Lt. Col. Keith Schultz, 93rd BS commander, also said his people "have always been the cream of the crop; things that other people find challenging we find as second nature." According to 917th AMXS maintenance officer Capt. Stewart Martin said, "I knew we had good people and the expertise, and I knew we put together a good team." TSgt. James Dudash, assistant crew chief with the 917th AMXS, praised the active duty crew chiefs, saying, "This award is such a great honor because we competed against the best." The active-duty 11th AMU captured the fifth team award for Top Weapons Load Crew and 20th BS participants won individual awards. (Barksdale report by Capt. Newman Robertson)

Der Rycroft-Maler war ein Vasenmaler aus Attika im antiken Griechenland. Seine ins letzte Jahrzehnt des 6. Jahrhunderts v. Chr. datierten Werke im schwarzfigurigen Stil fallen in die Spätzeit dieser Stilepoche.

Der Rycroft-Maler steht der zeitgleich im Aufschwung befindlichen rotfigurigen Vasenmalerei schon sehr nahe. Häufig zeigt er Figuren in Umrisszeichnung. Besonders gern zeigt er dionysische Szenen, doch sind seine besten Bilder die, die Themen voller Haltung und Würde darstellen. Diese präsentiert er meist auf Bauchamphoren des Typus A. Er steht dem Priamos-Maler und Psiax nahe, doch müssen sich seine Bilder nicht hinter denen der rotfigurigen Maler der Pioniergruppe verstecken. Der Rycroft-Maler ist somit einer der besten Vasenmaler seines Stils und seiner Zeit. Ein stilistisch enger Zeitgenosse war der Maler von Tarquinia RC 6847.

I am interested in what other forums do gentooers frequent. Please share your favourite forums.
FARK, under the handle "Programmer Cat".
I didn't see that post above.
This is a good point. Instead of posting a URL, I'll simply use the secret knock: Do you have stairs in your house?
edit: this is in reference to forums other than the alternate otw ones.
What if we built a large, wooden badger?
This project seems very interesting! I have been wanting to get a nice projector so I could have my parents watch movies at home with a big screen. But they are so expensive. This seems to be a very creative way out! Thanks!
Not only are they expensive to begin with but did you realize that even an $800 projector can have a 200-500 dollar range for the bulb and need to be replaced (depending on how often you watch) every 1-2 years.
These build your own projectors have a much cheaper bulb potentially better resolution and longer life. Plus you get to say I built it hehe.
Did you build one? I wanna have a go, but I need to know how easy it was. I live in europe, so I'm going to have to adapt to 230 V wiring.
Kto jest twoim autorytetem moralnym i dlaczego jest nim JPII ?
Just joined the REAL OTW, Same handle as this forum.
I use the same handle for everything.
I am helping my friend build one now. When his is done I am building my own. His lenses are on backorder he is doing the cheaper version. I am going to do the pro version that has a longer throw on the lense so the projector can be further away. I will try to post back with some results as soon as I have them.


What did you gobble down the moment your precious newborn popped out? Soft cheese? Sushi? Runny eggs?
Inspired by this glorious image of a mum in hospital right after labour, we ask some of our #Kinderlingfam for their first post-birth meal of choice.
One mum sounds like she's living the LIFE!
Except for that last bit. A sausage roll after expecting a steak dinner is a MASSIVE letdown.
Sometimes you don't have much of a choice but to inhale whatever the hospital's got ready for you.
Think a plain old bowl of cornflakes, or a ham and cheese sanga, even run-of-the-mill cheese and crackers.
Though there are moments in life where simpler is better.
KFC, Subway, Hungry Jacks and McDonald's seem to run a rip-roaring trade post-pregnancy. Preferred menu items include apple pie, McFlurries, soft serve, pancakes, hash browns and nuggets.
Even while having contractions for some mums!
For those ladies with gestational diabetes, sugar's the first thing on the mind! Cornflakes sprinkled with sugar is one commenter's choice. And this mum also jumped straight back on the sugar train.
Another said she chose fresh banana bread, hot choccie and a bowl of passionfruit yoghurt. Bread and butter pudding also gets a mention.
Blue cheese, D'affinois, brie, ham and salami are all common foods that are denied for nine months, and incredibly missed. So it makes sense they're high on the list.
Sushi and sushimi are super popular choices from mamas desperate for their raw fish fill.

Everything Sandra Oh Has Said About 'Grey's Anatomy' and Her Life After the Show
admin August 21, 2021	Grey's Anatomy Leave a comment 0 Views
Grey's Anatomy: Why The Show Made Amelia The Anti-House
'Grey's Anatomy' and 'Station 19' Fans Will Be Surprised About This Delay News
ABC Boss Discusses The Future Of Grey's Anatomy After Season 19 Renewal
Closing the chapter. Since shocking fans with her exit in 2014, Sandra Oh has toyed with the idea of making a triumphant return to Grey's Anatomy — but she's happily moved out of her comfort zone.
Oh's portrayal of Dr. Cristina Yang on the ABC medical drama instantly gained her critical acclaim, winning the 2005 Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Series and the 2006 Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series. She remained in the role for 10 seasons, confirming her departure in August 2013.
"Creatively, I really feel like I gave it my all, and I feel ready to let her go," she told The Hollywood Reporter at the time. "It's such an interesting thing to play a character for so long and to actually get the sense that she wants to be let go as well. [Cristina] wants to be let go, and I am ready to let her go."
Cristina was written out after the show's 10th season, leaving Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo) and more beloved characters behind for a new job in Switzerland. After learning that Oh would be saying goodbye, creator and showrunner Shonda Rhimes wanted to give her character the perfect ending.
"One of the best days of my life as a writer happened the day Sandra Oh walked in my door to audition and forever changed the course of Grey's Anatomy with her brilliant, nuanced portrayal of Cristina Yang," Rhimes told THR in August 2013. "Over the past 10 seasons, I have been made better by Sandra's trust, faith and friendship, and I can't quantify how grateful I am for her collaboration on a character we both love so deeply. … When Sandra walks out of my door, Grey's Anatomy will once again be forever changed."
As a whole, Grey's Anatomy is far from over. The series was renewed for an 18th season in May 2021 after several fan-favorite alums — including Patrick Dempsey and Chyler Leigh — made cameos during season 17. Though she's grateful for all the memories she made with her former costars over the years, Oh doesn't see herself putting on her doctor's coat again.
"It's very rare, I would say, to be able to see in such a way the impact of a character," she told The Los Angeles Times' "Asian Enough" podcast in May 2021. "In some ways, you do your work as a bubble and you let it go. I left that show, my God, seven years ago, almost. So in my mind, it's gone. But for a lot of people, it's still very much alive. And while I understand and I love it, I have moved on."
Following her nine-year run on Grey's Anatomy, the actress dabbled in live theater and nabbed a supporting role in 2014's Tammy. She returned to television for season 3 of American Crime in 2017 and has starred on Killing Eve since its 2018 premiere. The role earned her the 2018 SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Drama Series and the 2019 Golden Globe for Best Actress – Television Series Drama.
"I think it's very different than Cristina. There's certain [similar] aspects, for sure, like both of those characters are determined," she told Entertainment Weekly in March 2018 of her work on the two series. "But what they want and the circumstances, and the style and the genre, it's like apples and oranges."
Scroll down to see more of what Oh has said about life after Grey's Anatomy — and about possibly returning to the show:
Oh "was completely in tears" while filming her final episode, she told The Hollywood Reporter in May 2014, but there wasn't anything she would have "done differently." At the time, she admitted that she and Rhimes had spoken about Cristina making a comeback for the eventual series finale, adding, "I told her, 'If you guys want to finish it out however you want to finish it out, I'd be more than happy to come back. And if it doesn't fit in that way, I totally understand. I just want you to know that I'm available.' Who knows!"
Having come to terms with her exit in February 2017, Oh told Access Hollywood, "I just don't know [about returning to Grey's]. It would have to feel right."
Big Departure
"I feel very much in a completely different and separate world with Killing Eve. I was actually really happy for the departure," Oh said during a January 2018 panel of the differences between her ABC character and her work on the BBC series. "It's so different that I don't necessarily have those similar character comparisons at all. But I'm so happy and proud to be playing Eve, because it's a lot of hard work and a lot of fun."
A New 'Relationship'
While speaking with Entertainment Weekly in March 2018, the Canada native said her experiences on Grey's and on Killing Eve were "like apples and oranges" — in a good way. "It's so funny. Every year, it's like I hear that I'm coming back to the show. Like for real," she joked. "But what I realize is, in a way that I'm really pleased and grateful for, is that the show is continuing on with its life, and that the show and the people who are still attached to the show are still attached to Cristina. It means a lot to me. … I am moving on and very happy and excited to be in another relationship."
Complicated Choices
In April 2018, Oh hinted that her time on the medical drama was more "complicated" than some might expect, and confessed that she'd been holding her breath for a chance like Killing Eve. "The four years of actively waiting by doing the things that I love … it was my choice to do three plays. It was my choice to do American Crime, you know?" she told Vanity Fair. "Actually being able to exercise your own choice can bring about greater opportunity. I think it's just as important what you say no to as what you say yes to."
'Lightning in a Bottle'
"I'm just going to say no," Oh told Variety in April 2018 when asked about a potential return to Seattle Grace. "I'm just going to put that down there because it's been four years since then, and I've really got to try and create much more of that separation. Even though I could just talk on and on and on about that show and what I feel like I learned from it and continue learning from it. It was so special, lightning in a bottle that's lasted for over a decade."
'Fighting' for Christina
Though she may not reprise the character any time soon, Oh learned a lot of valuable lessons from Cristina Yang. "If something kind of came up which was like, 'That is completely wrong,' I would go toe-to-toe with Shonda and a lot of the writers, which has been challenging," she said during a roundtable with Kerry Washington in June 2020. "But I think ultimately, for the entire product and our relationship, if you're fighting for the show, if you're fighting for your character, people can tell that. … I feel like, when I look back, because it's been six years now since I left Grey's, I feel like one of my biggest successes, for me, was I don't feel I gave up. … I started to learn how to trust that [instinct]."
"In my mind, [the show's] gone. But for a lot of people, it's still very much alive. And while I understand and I love it, I have moved on," the Emmy nominee said on the Los Angeles Times' "Asian Enough" podcast in May 2021. "So please come with me to Killing Eve and on to [Netflix's] The Chair and on to the other projects. Come see the characters that I'm playing that are much more deeply integrated in … the Asian-American experience."
Still Connected
Oh reflected on the surprising similarities to her character in Netflix's The Chair and her beloved Grey's persona. "Then & Now. The first scene I shot for #netflixthechair was as Ji Yoon Kim, the newly minted Chair of the English Dept, entering her office and falling off her chair. And I immediately remembered one of the last moments as Cristina Yang @greysabc as the newly minted director of cardio thoracic surgery, exiting her office. And their name plates on the doors. 😄," she wrote via Instagram in August 2021.
The actress couldn't wait for fans to see her tackle the new story. "These are the amazing moments you remember in your body 7 yrs later…'Wait this feels familiar but different.' Like bookends," she added. "I love Cristina. I miss Cristina. And I really love Ji Yoon. I hope you do too."

Justice Teams Network launched on May 2 to build power against systemic State Violence in all its forms. The Network is a statewide coalition of rapid response organizations across the state of California that will mobilize communities to respond radically to state violence. The Network will focus heavily on legislation as well as a public information campaign around the Law Enforcement Officer's Bill of Rights, the single largest obstacle to police accountability.
In California, police consistently shoot over 100 people every year. Last year in the United States, nearly 1,200 people were killed by police officers. These deaths destroy families and rip apart communities while law enforcement responsible for even the most egregious cases are rarely, if ever, held accountable.
The Network is grounded in the rapid response model developed in the Bay Area by the Anti Police Terror-Project (APTP) project, and a model for healing justice developed by Dignity and Power Now in LA. The network launch signals the adoption of these models by activists and organizations across the State.


I'm a power eater who enjoys life and people who have interesting foods and culture to share. My love of food comes from my parents. Mom was a superb cook who learned the basics from her mother, a Jewish Polish emigrant. Mom never met a recipe she couldn't improve. Dad, on the other hand, was not one to be in the kitchen, but could make a mean reservation. He frequently dined at some of the top eateries in NYC, where we lived, as well as places around the world as he traveled. They both taught me to seek out and enjoy good food wherever it's found. I've decided to write this blog to share with you my eating adventures, whether they be at restaurants', food events, parties and food I cook my self. Follow me on Twitter and Facebook as I discover interesting eats. I hope you'll suggest some too as you follow along.
When I share my restaurant experiences with you, it will be after several visits. I'm seriously interested in food rather than the surroundings and service but as we are all aware, these things may sometime have an effect our perceptions. I often dine alone or with friends and family and especially my brother. He and I most certainly don't always agree! And so, from time to time, I will include his opinions here as well.
I am not a fan of the skewering, negative type of food review. If the place is that bad it will not appear here. In cases where my meal was not what was expected, I would rather express that privately to an owner/chef and look in on them again at another time. My blog musings are an attempt to share my good eating experiences with folks. At the end of the day, the opinions I express are my own…unless my brother has something to add.
And finally, I pay for my meals as you would, and for now I accept no advertising on this blog site. If I should accept ads in the future, they will not be from any of the places I write about.
Less is more. Fresh food cooked simply is the gold standard. This applies to the hamburger stand or the fine dining restaurant. And my writing!
Don't try to fool the customers. Never cut the quality of the product to maintain a price point. So disappointing to anticipate a meal to find that it's changed beyond all recognition. Time to bite the bullet and make a decision; either raise the price or eliminate the dish. The food business is constantly reinventing itself. Those that are slow to change risk all.
Tell the truth. My mom ordered a broiled piece of fish at a restaurant. When it arrived she looked at it and said to me, "This is baked not broiled." She explained that the color and texture as well as taste of the fish indicated it was baked. The server disagreed. The host disagreed. The chef began to disagree and then said, "Well…we sometimes do bake the fish…! The restaurant biz is the toughest to do correctly and make a profit in. Not being truthful with your customers is the fastest way to lose their loyalty and repeat business.
I enjoy following your check-ins on FourSquare. Keep eating, my friend!!

"I LOVED your book! For about the past 4 and a half to 5 DECADES I have read every book I could get my hands on in the metaphysical spiritual category, and yours is my absolute number 1 favorite because its simplicity makes the distilled wisdom within its pages easy to apply. Usually by the time I have finished one "spiritual" book, I have already begun the next one. With your book, however, I find myself able to apply every concept and actually add the tools to my toolchest; as opposed to just gathering more tools. Again, repetition for emphasis, thank you for the simplicity of your book of distilled wisdom making universal laws as easy to follow as my favorite recipe! I look forward to experiencing your next contribution.

Indigenous Language Series 5: Sami languages of Northern Europe
Posted 26/06/2019 26/06/2019 thomas@2m.com.au
Indigenous languages are important for social, economic and political development, peaceful coexistence and particularly for reconciliation in our societies. Yet many of them are in danger of disappearing. It is for this reason that the United Nations declared 2019 the Year of Indigenous Languages to encourage urgent action to promote, revitalise and preserve endangered languages as part of the world's cultural diversity.
This year, as part of our Indigenous language series, each month we will present one of the many Indigenous languages of the world.
The Sami languages of Northern Europe
The Sami languages are a group of Uralic languages spoken by the Sami people in Scandinavian countries such as Finland, Sweden and Norway as well as some northwestern parts of Russia. We count, depending on the nature and terms of division, 10 or more Sami languages. The Sami languages form a branch of the Uralic language family which is composed of 38 languages spoken by about 25 million speakers most of them being Finnish, Hungarian and Estonian.
Sami languages map
The Sami languages are divided into 2 groups, western and eastern. Depending on how widely the sublanguage groups are separated speakers can either be mutually intelligible to each other or not understand each other at all.
The Sami languages family is believed to have formed in the Gulf of Finland between 1000 BC to 700 AD, deriving from a common Proto-Sami-Finnic language. The Proto-Samic language developed in South Finland around 2000–2500 years ago, spreading then to northern Fennoscandia (a region composed of the Scandinavian countries and the Russian Kola peninsula). The language is believed to have expanded west and north into Fennoscandia during the Nordic Iron Age, reaching central Scandinavia during the Proto-Scandinavian period ca. 500 AD.
Sami family – early 20th century
In the early 90s, the Sami languages started to gain official recognition as minority languages and even becoming an official language in Finland and Norway. Only Russia, to this day, has yet not recognised the Sami languages spoken in its Kola Peninsula.
Written Sami
The Sami languages use Latin alphabet with their own additional letters such as Áá Čč Đđ Ŋŋ Šš Ŧŧ Žž for Northern Sami, the most widely spoken Sami language with about 15 000 speakers.
Do you speak English? Humatgo Eaŋgalasgiela?
What is your name? Mii du namma lea?
Thank you Giitu
Please Leage buorre
I'm sorry Ándagassii
Goodbye Báze dearvan (to one person)
Goodbye Báhcci dearvan (to two people)
Goodbye Báhcet dearvan (to more than two people)
Present situation and future
After a lack of recognition and an overall decline in the 20th century, the Sami languages gained official recognition at the end of the 20th century. During the 1990s, legislation aimed at securing for Saami speakers certain limited rights within administration, police, courts, and other sectors of society was introduced in all three Nordic countries with a Saami population (Finland, Norway, Sweden). It is too early to evaluate the effect of these policies but in certain parts of Norway, the resistance from the Norwegian-speaking majority against any form of Saami cultural rights has been very strong.
Modern economic development, including the exploitation of natural resources in Saami areas, does not further Sami development. Usually, the companies push the use of official languages such as Norwegian, Swedish or Finnish to Sami workers. Mainstream media is also a threat to the daily use and revival of Sami.
