Real baseball fans love to discuss the game endlessly. As the old cliché (sort of) says, "Opinions are like posteriors…everybody has one".
Ask your favorite baseball fanatics who would be the three Outfielders on their all-time team. One may say Ted Williams, Willie Mays & Babe Ruth. Another may question how the player with the highest lifetime Batting Average (Ty Cobb) could be left off. The third might ask about the player with the most popular baseball cards of the post-War era (Mickey Mantle). Then, we'd hear from a Pirate fan about Roberto Clemente. And, as we know, "chicks dig the long ball", so Hank Aaron & Barry Bonds would get significant support.
This time of year always brings out opinions about the Hall of Fame balloting and no two fans seem to have the exact same list. This year is no exception with controversial players such as Curt Schilling, Bonds & Roger Clemens eligible. How about Omar Vizquel, Scott Rolen & Billy Wagner? Then there's Gary Sheffield, Todd Helton & Jeff Kent. What about first-time guys…Tim Hudson & Mark Buehrle each won over 200 Games with WAR (Wins Above Replacement) numbers of 59 & 58. Would your ballot include one player, a few players or ten players?
Another really interesting discussion involves great baseball finishes. For many fans, the World Series comes to mind and the names that were captured by our mental snapshots…Bill Mazeroski, Bobby Richardson, Kirk Gibson, Jack Morris, Joe Carter, Luis Gonzalez and so many more. But, of course there were also seemingly unimportant games that provided memorable finishes…the last day of the 1941 season when Ted Williams went 6-for-8, the last day of the 1950 season when the Phillies captured the pennant, Harvey Haddix and his 12-inning "perfect game". Or, maybe it's a moment you actually witnessed like George Brett's 3,000th hit or a Sandy Koufax no-hitter.
Now, there's a way to enjoy this topic fully in a new book by my friend Howard Peretz. He has developed the BFI (Baseball Finish Index) and ranked each of the top finishes in a fan's guide to "Baseball's 100 Greatest Finishes". It is a great read for both old-school fans and youngsters learning about the game. You will reminisce about many of the entries and also wonder about a few that might surprise you. To tease you a bit, #99 is about a College game, #93 took place in 1905, #79 is about a 15-inning game and #60 stars an 11 year-old.
Howard's book also has great visuals, as there are over 100 beautiful images of baseball cards that dovetail with the game descriptions. If you'd like more information, the book is available at both Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Just use "peretz" or "saving baseball" in the search engine.

What happened
Shares of Seattle Genetics (SGEN 0.43%) gained over 25% last month, according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence. The company reported positive results from the HER2CLIMB clinical trial evaluating a combination therapy involving tucatinib, its lead drug candidate, to treat advanced breast cancer.
Patients taking the combination of tucatinib, trastuzumab, and capecitabine demonstrated a 46% reduction in the risk of disease progression or death compared to those taking trastuzumab and capecitabine alone. The study also met two key secondary endpoints, which bolsters the case for approving tucatinib. Seattle Genetics plans to submit a new drug application (NDA) in the first quarter of 2020.
So what
Tucatinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that blocks the activity of HER2, a growth factor that is often overexpressed in breast cancer and other malignancies and causes tumors to grow uncontrollably. In addition to achieving a significant improvement in progression-free survival compared to the standard of care, the tucatinib arm of the study delivered a 34% reduction in the risk of death overall and a 52% decrease in the risk of disease progression or death in individuals with cancer that had spread to the brain.
The results were much better than many analysts had expected, which caused many to raise their peak sales estimates for the drug. After initially expecting a relatively paltry $250 million in peak annual sales, many on Wall Street have increased their expectations closer to $750 million or higher.
Now what
Seattle Genetics is suddenly buzzing with activity and optimism after a lackluster past three years in which the pharma stock underperformed the S&P 500. The company expects its lead drug product, Adcetris, to eclipse $1 billion in revenue in 2019. Seattle Genetics should receive an approval decision from American regulators on enfortumab vedotin in urothelial cancer in the first quarter of 2020, while the surprisingly good results for tucatinib suggest the drug could quickly gain market traction. Investors may feel more confident once those milestones are achieved, but there's certainly reason for increased optimism.

When it comes to films and music, the USA dominates global cultural exports. Not so much for cuisine. Italy, China, and Japan are the world's leaders in "exporting" their cuisines, claims a recently launched study (paywall).
The concept of delicacies as export is an unusual one. Unlike the sale of synthetic goods or movie tickets, cash no longer necessarily glides between nations when they use each different's cuisine. An Italian restaurant in China ought to use entirely Chinese-made products to make their carbonara. It is likewise hard to pin down exactly what contains delicacies. Should Nacho Fries at Taco Bell be considered Mexican food or American?
Still, it is a thrilling exercise to don't forget which u. S .'s food has maximum spread worldwide, as they're a crucial degree of foreign cultures that have an impact, argues the study's writer Joel Waldfogel, an economist at the University of Minnesota. Waldfogel uses data from marketplace studies firm Euromonitor and motel and restaurant assessment website online TripAdvisor to estimate cuisine trade.
The studies handiest appears at food eaten outside the home, as data on cuisines eaten inside the residence are not available. It is primarily based on various eating places that serve that cuisine, consistent with how they're indexed on TripAdvisor. Waldfogel uses this as a proxy for that cuisine's reputation because real income at those eating places is not to be had. Given the research's numerous limitations, the study is more a thoughtful try to give you an estimate than a definitive assertion.
The records display that inside the 17 nations for which Waldfogel changed into able to acquire complete records for 2017, Italian food was one of the 3 most famous cuisines in 16 of those nations—the exception is South Korea, in which it's miles fourth, after Korean, Chinese and Japanese. He estimates that Italy "exported" about $176 billion of its delicacies to the rest of the arena. With $115 billion in exports, China is a distant second. The US ranks 7th, just underneath Mexico, with simply $27 billion in exports.
Some records about Italian delicacies
Most people have a not unusual idea that Italian delicacies are spaghetti, lasagna, and minestrone. However, if you visit Italy, you will realize that those forms of food do not simply constrain Italians. Rather, they may be cooking a selection of dishes in very revolutionary approaches that your grandmother might never have imagined.
Italy has nineteen regions, and each location has its very own district delicacies. Moreover, their delicacies change in every season. Giving utmost importance to fresh substances, the Italian kitchen serves summer cuisine and winter delicacies differently.
Southern Italian Cooking
South Italy's cuisine is distinct since the human beings there devour more fish in their weight loss plan. In widespread, their dishes are lighter and more healthy. One aspect that makes their food regimen healthy is using virgin oil in most of their dishes. For this cause, clinical research continually displays that they're among the healthiest people within the globe.
Cuisine from Northern Italy
Americans are acquainted with Northern Italian delicacies, in which the dishes are loaded with cheese and wealthy white sauces. Although Americans are somewhat familiar with the Northern Italian dishes, they may nevertheless be amazed at the range of variations and distinctiveness of the cuisine in North Italy.
Italian delicacies are rich, complicated, and complex. They are richer and have greater components in comparison to the usual spaghetti and meatballs. Italians put numerous spices on their dishes. However, they only use spices to beautify the herbal taste of their meals. This is opposite to what different human beings believe that Italians use too many spices in their dishes. People who are having this false impression are those who are no longer yet been to Italy.

In this weekly column, Reel Retake, we compare the original film and its remake. Beyond highlighting the similarities, differences and measuring them on the success scale, we aim to discover the potential in the storyline that spurred the thought for a newer version and the ways in which a remake could possibly offer a different viewing experience. And if that is the case, analyse the film.
In focus this week is Marathi drama Mala Aai Vhhaychy and its Telugu and Hindi remakes Welcome Obama and Mimi.
What is Mala Aai Vhhaychy about?
Mary (Stacy Bee) visits India in search of a surrogate mother. She finalises Yashoda (Urmila Kanetkar) to bear her child seeing she is healthy and experienced. Meanwhile, we learn that Yashoda is already a mother to Surekha, who is physically challenged and living separately in a care facility. Yashoda needs money for proper medical attention of her daughter and a deal is brokered. She becomes a surrogate for Mary and gets pregnant. Mary's life now gets tied to Yashoda's for nine months during which she learns that the baby she is carrying may be deformed. Fearing she will have to bring up a child who is not perfectly healthy and sound, Mary abandons Yashoda during the last stage of her pregnancy and flies off abroad. She even suggests that Yashoda drops off the child in an orphanage and offers her some money for the same. Yashoda denies and is left with another child to take care of.
Luckily, Krishna is born healthy. Since he has blonde hair and a white face, many in the village treat him differently. Years pass by and Krishna and Yashoda form a close bond. He talks of airplanes and Yashoda secretly knows she cannot fulfil his dreams.
Miles away, Mary comes to know that her son was born healthy. Now, she decides to get him back with her. Back in India, she confronts Yashoda years after leaving her pregnant and stakes her claim on the baby. Yashoda refuses to part with Krishna.
Who then has the legal right over the baby? The woman who has blood relations with him or the one who has borne and nurtured him? Mala Aai Vhhaychy (I Want To Be A Mother) rounds off as a realistic drama that invests in relationships, motherhood and legal and emotional aspects of surrogacy practice.
Wherein lies the potential?
Commercial surrogacy had become quite popular in India after it was legalised in early 2000s. It involves financially compensating the surrogate mother for carrying and delivering a child on someone else's behalf. Fertility clinics started coming up and agents sought poorer women from rural areas in this practice. Many foreign couples used to abandon the surrogate half way through the maternity period leaving her with no legal recourse as the industry was unregulated and exploited women, their bodies and choices. The agent had no onus and was running blindly after money. Mala Aai Vhhaychy takes root in this context and makes for a hard-hitting drama about nature, nurture and the legal rights of a mother and her surrogate.
The basic plot is thought provoking and promising. The story unfolds its various facets- expectation, joy, betrayal, loneliness, love and sacrifice- with nuances at each turn and is shot in a very simplistic manner. This allows the viewer to invest in the story and empathise with the surrogate mother and her helplessness. In the midst of struggles and emotional push and pull, Urmila Kanetkar showcases various aspects of motherhood with bravery. She is distant from the baby during her pregnancy but becomes possessive once Krishna is born. Everytime Yashoda encounters a crisis, there is depth and sincerity in Urmila's acting and that makes the film heavy duty. It is Urmila who shoulders this rollercoaster ride throughout and the camera just captures her in various moods. Two scenes of her emotionally breaking down are stellar.
Mary is introduced to us as a finicky and selfish woman right from the start and when she abandons Yashoda and the child, it does not come as a surprise. Years later, when she returns to reclaim Krishna, we see that Mary is still acting on impulse. Stacy also embraces her character with finesse and her various shades are fun to watch and enjoy. It is ridiculous to see at times how easily she can detach from the situations. Meanwhile, the child actor appears confounded and quiet in most scenes as he embodies the identity crisis his cross-cultural roots have bestowed on him.
Yashoda's companion Ganpath (Vivek Raut) lightens the mood and adds humour to the film. He is also the manifestation of every Indian who marvels at the sight of a 'gora' (foreigner) and their way of living. In the latter half, he shows emotional range as things gets serious.
As subtext, Mala Aai Vhhaychy also comments on the class distinction between the rich and the poor, and, in turn, the West and the East. Inequality is personified in the scenes where Mary and Yashoda are living together in a village hut and are still distant. There are many scenes as such that starkly point out how lack of resources breeds an environment of exploitation.
The two remakes- Welcome Obama and Mimi
In 2013, Mala Aai Vhhaychy was first remade as Welcome Obama in Telugu. Urmila revived her role as Yashoda. Veteran filmmaker Singeetam Srinivasa Rao handles the weight of this social drama with care. An additional track is introduced here wherein Yashoda runs off to the city with Krishna, fearing Lucy (Rachel Lewis) will grease the palms of the police and use her influence to take away the child. In the city, a comedy track awaits that functions as a distraction from the main storyline. It also stretches the film quite a bit. The over-the-top comical additions don't add value but offer a detour from the serious nature of the story. A scene where Yashoda opens up to Ganpath near the water banks and accepts to let go of Krishna in the hope for a better future for him is shot in one take. It stands out in Welcome Obama as Urmila furthers our interest in her selfless character Yashoda. How surrogates are duped and agents persistently exploit them is more defined in Welcome Obama. The songs in the Telugu remake are certainly better, lighten the mood and are shot beautifully.
Mimi released in 2021 and is filmed in the digital format. It initiates us with a 2013 setting but does not come across as a film set in the time. But that is easily forgotten as there are bigger woes in performances and screenplay. It adapts the main storyline of a young woman agreeing to become a surrogate for a wealthy couple but burdens itself with insipid humour. Pankaj Tripathi as Bhanu is an additional character who is distracting right from the word go. Instead of sincerity, Mimi is constantly travelling back and forth between loud emotions, cranky humour and melodrama, rushing towards an end. It robs the story of its emotional essence and Kriti simply fails to leverage this once-in-a-lifetime performance opportunity. Mimi agrees to be a surrogate for money to fund her Bollywood dream, but her emotional attachment to the newborn isn't justified in the story progression or how her lively character is sketched. Plus, there's too much chaos and no realism. The music by AR Rahman does not blend in the film as it did in the original.
Success meter
Welcome Obama has its shortcomings but since Urmila knows the character she is playing, the flavour of the story is retained. She even goes beyond her original act in some scenes. Mimi, on the other hand, is shallow in emotional range and Pankaj's straight-faced humour attempt does not sit well at all. From the village, the movie has shifted to the city but the new setting does not lend any novelty. The Hindi version also trivialises the surrogacy angle, which is exploitation in the name of motherhood. Mimi could have done well with a better cast or by simply sticking to the original screenplay instead of just basing itself on all the good parts and not using the best parts of Mala Aai Vhhaychy at all.

Cures for Morning Sickness and Nausea
You find out your pregnant and you're elated and excited… until the nausea and vomiting kicks in. Nausea and vomiting are one of the first signs of pregnancy and usually begins around the 6th week of pregnancy. Don't let the name mislead you – morning sickness can occur at any time of the day. But the good news is for most women, it seems to stop after the 12th week of pregnancy.
Does everyone get morning sickness?
More than 50% of pregnant women experience morning sickness. Morning sickness refers to the nauseous feeling you may have during the first trimester of pregnancy, which is a result of the increased hormones in your body.
How can you stop morning sickness?
As it's caused by your raging pregnancy hormones, you can't really stop it -but there are things you can do to alleviate the discomfort.
10 things to try to help Morning Sickness and Nausea:
- Eat small meals often
- Sip on a smoothie, like Vitimum Original, throughout the day.
- Drink fluids before or after a meal, but not with meals.
- Drink small amounts of fluids during the day to avoid dehydration.
- Eat something when you first wake-up in the morning.
- Eat whatever you feel like eating, whenever you feel you can.
- Ask someone else to cook for you; open the windows, or turn on fans if the odor bothers you.
- Get plenty of rest and nap during the day.
- Avoid warm places - feeling hot adds to nausea.
- Exercise - it may be the last thing you feel like, but some gentle exercise, walking, yoga cycling or swimming, can help. Just make sure you keep hydrated and don't over do it.
How do you avoid Nausea?
Here are our 5 Don'ts:
- Avoid lying down after eating.
- Don't skip meals.
- Don't let this condition go untreated - if you're unable to eat at all or keep fluids down, see you local doctor.
- Avoid spicy food.
- Eat big meals - best to have smaller meals through out the day. You will find this will be helpful through pregnancy too, to avoid indigestion and heartburn.

Robert Bakrero picked up the phone and dialed the number again. Still no answer. «Damn it!», he said aloud. «Stigvarf should have been home by now. He knew I was going to call!» he thought quietly. He felt wound up and aggravated at the same time, and couldn't shake the destructive spiral he was in: the more he thought about the unbearability of the situation, the more aggravated he became. Finally he uttered a strange, contorted, but quiet, roar, and hurled the phone at the floor. It was one hurl at the floor too many for the poor battered phone; it split in two and revealed its inner mechanisms to the aggressive Mr. Bakrero.
Mr. Bakrero's state of mind immediately transformed from rage to remorse and caring. He fell to his knees, and clumsily tried to piece the phone back together. «No, no, no... I must speak to Stigvarf... No... no...» He collapsed into apathy.
He lay on the floor listening to the rain drumming against the window. It had rained almost constantly for three days. Ever since that night three nights ago, when their gang of four had suddenly been halved. First, Turbo hadn't been home when Bakrero, Stigvarf and Turbo were to meet in Turbo's apartment. He had been gone since that night. When they had tried to contact the fourth man of the gang, that had proven to be impossible as well. Was Stigvarf also missing now..?
Suddenly he pulled himself out of his chain of thoughts, and threw himself to his feet. He had to do something! But before he was allowed another thought, there was a heavy knock at the door.
«Stigvarf..?» thought Mr. Bakrero. «But he wasn't supposed to come here. He was supposed to stay at home and wait for my call, so that we could agree on a place to meet.» Still he answered the door.
«But... What are you... I thought you had disappeared!»
«Hello, Robert. Do you have the paper from the day before yesterday?»
«What? The paper? Uhhh... 'Day before yesterday'? Do you mean... Hang on, today's... Tuesday? Do you mean Sunday's paper?»
«Don't play games with me, Robert! It's two o'clock, it's Wednesday! You know bloody well I mean Monday's paper!» He pushed his way through the door, and looked around.
«Wait, you can't just barge in here, I'm in the middle of some important... "
He turned towards Bakrero: «You did it, didn't you?! You sent the parcel to no.4!? Fucking bastards!!» He pulled out a knife with dried bloodstains and walked stiffly towards Bakrero.
«NO!!» cried Mr. Bakrero «N-no, what are you d-doing?! What parcel are you talking about? I dunno nuthin' about no..!»
Those words were Mr. Bakrero's last, as he was brutally stabbed to death with three stabs through his left lung, one stab through his right, one stab in his left arm, and two stabs through his stomach.
The killer stood, gasping, and wiped the sweat off his brow, only to find that the sweat had already evaporated. He felt a terrible heat. Was it over now? He didn't think so. Three lives he had taken, but it didn't feel as though the end was any closer. He peered down at the carpet. The blood had now run to his boots where he was standing, and mixed with the water that was dripping from his coat. He put the knife back in his pocket.
After searching the small apartment he concluded that a copy of the wanted paper was not to be found on the premises.
«How can I know whether Stigvarf's paper was the real thing?» the man asked himself. «I MUST check another paper. Stigvarf's aunt lives next-door! I can get in there without problems!»
And then the ticking started again. He looked around for a clock. There were none around. Was he going insane? Or was this a healthy reaction to taking a life? Again he felt a chill. The same thing had happened three times. But not after the first kill. It had happened twice after the second kill, and for the time being, once...
He decided to wait in the apartment until morning, so as to be certain the woman next-door would let him in.
Suddenly he woke up, and realized that he must have dozed off again. What time was it? He stepped over Bakrero and left the apartment, closing the door behind him.

NameJet just announced the introduction of a Seller Dashboard, allowing sellers on the platform to see the status of their auction sales. Previously, sellers could "watch" their auctions when they went to auction within their bidder dashboard, and they could search for them individually or on a special auction page if that was created for their auctions.
This is good news for sellers, as it makes it much easier to see the status of their auction at any time rather than having to wait for a daily payment update email or having to email the NameJet team. The Seller Dashboard is located within a seller's "My Account" page, listed on the left hand side under "My Listing."
Here is a screenshot of the Seller Dashboard with the drop down menu showing the auction status options:
Here is a screenshot of a sample Seller Dashboard with listings so people can see how it will look when listings are active:
I think sellers have been waiting for this for a while. The other way worked, but this will make it much easier to get an idea of how auctions are performing and see the payment status.

Revealing mistake: In one of Pickett's charge scene the bayonets are obviously rubber.
Revealing mistake: There are white wristwatch marks on the tan arms of the Confederate soldiers as they reach for Lee as he rides among the troops.
Revealing mistake: A jet con trail can be seen just before the fight at Little Round Top, when Chamberlain and Tom are talking.
Revealing mistake: Just before Pickett's charge, there are a number of shots of drummer boys playing the drums. Their drums have plastic drum heads with the "Remo" brand name on them.
Revealing mistake: In the battle of Little Round Top, as the Confederate soldiers are backing down the hill there is one man walking backwards and loading his gun. Behind him another soldier aims his weapon and fires, shooting the first man in the side of the head. The man then ducks and waits for the smoke from the shot to clear and continues down hill.
Revealing mistake: There is a scene in which Union soldiers are standing on Little Round Top. You can see the General Warren statue, which is partially hidden by shrubbery.
Revealing mistake: In several scenes where the cannons are firing, they either don't recoil or recoil very little. In real life, they would have a bigger recoil.
Revealing mistake: In the scene where Chamberlain is walking with his brother just after Little Round Top and before they get to the safe part of the battlefield, there is a jet con trail in the sky.
Revealing mistake: When Buford's cavalry is first riding into Gettysburg, he brings his men alongside a fence. On the other side of the fence, there is a trail with tire tracks from a car or truck. They can't be from wagon wheels because they are about a foot thick each too well formed.
Revealing mistake: There is one shot where the camera shows the battlefield with a large tree in the middle of it. You can see that the tree has been cut away to make room for a power line, which has been removed for the movie.

Belgian Sheepdog
Belgian Sheepdogs can be traced back as far as the 1800's in dog shows and are considered to be a hard working dog. During WWI they became famous for serving as message carriers, ambulance dogs, and even pulling machine guns. This strong, black dog breed stands between 24 and 26 inches and weighs around 65 pounds. The Belgian Sheepdog would be suitable for any family that can provide jobs for the dog to do, such as herding.

How Can We Force Congress to Give Money to Average Americans, Instead of High Level Grifters?
To prevent him from using it to help out his and Trump's rich buddies, Congress mandated the only companies that could demonstrate they have been harmed by the economic fallout of the coronavirus could qualify for money, that it would have to be used to retain employees, and that the money will be passed out in relatively small amounts.
Now, it turns out, Mnuchin has rewritten the regulations so that an individual company can get up to $200 million (because so many small businesses need to buy a new private jet), only has to make "commercially reasonable efforts" to hang onto or help their employees during the term of the loan (so they can put financial considerations ahead of the health of their workers), and no longer has to prove that they are financially in trouble because of the coronavirus.
Additionally, most of the money has not been distributed, although it now appears that a major Trump donor who runs a private jet company that shuttles rich people and executives to private high-end golf resorts got one of the very largest payments to date.
Giving professional grifters like Steve Mnuchin and Donald Trump hundreds of billions of dollars to give away or spend at their own discretion is like dropping a couple of alley cats into a cage full of canaries. Once again, the grifters get rich and the average American gets screwed.
Whatever they're doing to help our fckd economy and citizens, it ain't working. Evidently, Republicans are praying to the wrong god (of greed). Or maybe they just really pissed off Jesus this time. A portrait of losers -- good luck winning anything in November, if the People remember.
Ruth Chris Steakhouse and the LA Lakers got millions weeks ago. Most of the actual poor individuals have not received anything. Supposedly the checks go out starting on the 22nd.
A good look at the 1930's Spanish revolution is at http://www.squaker.cat/

It might be fair to note that the administration called out corporations that should not have applied for the money even though they were entitled. Ruth's Chris and the LA lakers have returned the money along with a number of colleges that had billions of dollars from endowments sitting in banks.

Purchase The Cast Album · Sheet Music · The Movie (VHS)
THE operetta opens in the palace of the mythical kingdom of Karlsberg. It is 1860. Prince Karl Franz, heir to the throne, is bored with royal life in his native land. With his tutor, Doctor Engel, he plans a visit to the old German University town of Heidelberg. Engel recalls nostalgically his own youth in Heidelberg, as the Prince looks forward with considerable anticipation to his future freedom in that delightful city ("Golden Days"). When they arrive in Heidelberg it is spring, and the world is in bloom. The Prince, now incognito, joins his new comrades in a student's song ("Student's Marching Song"), after which they parade to the "Golden Apple Inn". There the students raise their Steins of beer in a robust toast to drink and romance ("Drinking Song"). They call for Kathie, the lovely young daughter of the innkeeper. She addresses the students with considerable warmth of feeling, after which she comes to the Prince's table and dedicates to him a sentimental song about Heidelberg ("In Heidelberg Fair"). The students respond with a vigorous rendition of the age-old student hymn, "Gaudeamus Igitur". Before long, Kathie and the Prince are strongly attracted to each other. In the ensuing weeks their friendship ripens into love ("Deep in My Heart"); one beautiful evening the Prince is inspired to sing a serenade under her window ("Serenade"). But their love idyll is doomed. The news arrives from Karlsberg that the king is dead, and Prince Karl Franz must return to ascend the throne. More than that, he must, for reasons of State, marry Princess Margaret. Realizing that their life together is over, they bid each other a sentimental farewell.
But back in Karlsberg, the new king cannot forget Heidelberg or Kathie. As he sits in his royal suite, visions arise of the place where he had been so happy, and the girl with whom he had been so in love. Unable to contain himself any longer, he leaves Karlsberg to revisit Heidelberg. When the lovers meet again they are deeply moved, but they also know that a permanent union is an impossibility. They say farewell for a last time, with a pledge to keep at least their memories of each other alive as long as they live.
The original New York run of The Student Prince (608 performances) represented the longest of any Sigmund Romberg operetta. The operetta is now a classic of the American theatre, repeatedly revived.

Givanni Damico | February 7th, 2020
The Buffalo Bills made a nice run during the 2019 season, finishing 10-6 and making the wildcard game. Unfortunately, they blew a lead to the Texans, so they are still winless in the playoffs in recent history. The culture is meshing well in Buffalo right now. The coaching staff has it figured out and this group of guys resembles a true team. They have a tough 2020 schedule, so they will need to add some talent, especially on offense, in order to compete next season.
Make sure to check out all of our other NFL team mock drafts here.
Round 1, Pick 22: Justin Jefferson, WR, LSU
If I'm Brandon Beane, I cannot pass up an electrifying talent like Jefferson. I'm not too high on Tee Higgins; I see him as a Mike Williams archetype, meaning that he is not a dynamic receiver, just a solid number two or three. Jefferson flourished in the LSU offensive system. He was not quite as explosive as his teammate, Ja'Marr Chase, which may overshadow him a bit. The Bills need a receiver over 6'0" to complement John Brown and Cole Beasley. Jefferson has the ability to go up and get the ball, but he's great in space for a big man as well. The Bills need to surround Josh Allen with some weapons because it was their offense that stalled out last season. Their defense got the job done every week. If Buffalo drafts Jefferson, he may immediately jump to the top of the depth chart.
Round 2, Pick 54: Jonathan Taylor, RB, Wisconsin
Many of you who are reading this are probably asking how Jonathan Taylor fell so far. Running backs just do not have the same value as any other position. They're easily replaceable and are normally not worth a first-round pick. Taylor dominated in his time at Wisconsin, taking the nation by storm as arguably the best running back in America. He has some issues when it comes to fumbles, but that seems to be the only area of concern. Devin Singletary was very productive last year for the Bills, but they need a two-headed monster in the backfield. Singletary won't be a bell cow, so the addition of Taylor will allow for a consistently strong rushing attack.
Round 3, Pick 86: Akeem Davis-Gaither, LB, Appalachian State
Davis-Gaither showed out at the Senior Bowl, cementing his name as a potential "diamond in the rough" in the 2020 NFL Draft. He was a tackling machine at Appalachian State, while he also managed five sacks during his senior year. Akeem is very physical, which makes up for his slight lack of size. He's versatile, showing the ability to line up as an outside linebacker or a stacked backer. With the retirement of Lorenzo Alexander, Buffalo is in need of a replacement at his position. Davis-Gaither is a perfect fit for Buffalo's scheme and should bring even more firepower to the defense.
Round 4, Pick 125: K.J. Hill, WR, Ohio State
Depending on if they pick up a veteran wide receiver in free agency, I see no reason why Buffalo shouldn't draft two receivers in this draft. Hill had a monster Senior Bowl week and proved how underrated he is. He's got sneaky speed that Josh Allen could put to use on deep-ball routes. He also has a rather advanced route tree due to the Ohio State offensive scheme. Hill is sure-handed; he cemented himself in Ohio State history, becoming the all-time leader in receptions. Benjamin Solak of The Draft Network described Hill as having a "low ceiling", also stating that he will do his best work on checkdowns. I do not agree. If properly utilized, Hill could be a starting slot wide receiver. He lacks physicality which will hurt his contested catch game, but Hill is still a valuable player who would fit well with this offense.
Round 5, Pick 155: Jonah Jackson, OG, Ohio State
Jackson, a grad transfer from Rutgers, jumped in and solidified the offensive line. In a class that is lacking talent at the guard position, some people have named Jackson as one of the best guard talents in this draft. He is a low-ceiling, high-floor player. You know what you're going to get. I don't expect tremendous growth from him, but he could be one of those players who has a very long career as a solid lineman. This would be a steal for Buffalo in round five.
Round 5, Pick 168: J.R. Reed, SAF, Georgia
This is more of a depth pick than anything for Buffalo. Reed was solid at Georgia, showing his solid ball skills and tremendous tackling ability. He would likely be a great special-teamer for Buffalo, as his playstyle compares well to current Bills safety Siran Neal. With Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde locking down the safety positions for at least this season, Reed wouldn't see too much defensive action outside of playing in the box against the run.
Round 6, Pick 189: Davon Hamilton, DL, Ohio State
This makes three Buckeyes for the Bills in the 2020 draft which seems unlikely in and of itself. I was close to giving them Jordan Fuller at safety instead of Reed last round, but I thought Reed was a slightly better prospect. Hamilton is a monstrous man who has shown his intelligence and leadership ability. He has a good first move and quick hands. He wasn't incredibly productive at Ohio State, but he would certainly be a great depth option for Buffalo.
Round 6, Pick 202: Darryl Williams, OC, Mississippi State
Another depth player being selected here for Buffalo. Williams was solid as a Bulldog, showing decent power at the point of attack and exhibiting his long reach and good size. He was trouble holding blocks and will definitely be a developmental player. You never know though, Elgton Jenkins (former Miss. St. OC) was slept on in the 2019 draft and ended up being the best offensive lineman from that class. This is a weak link to connect the two, and Jenkins was projected better than Williams, but this would definitely not be a reach for Buffalo.
Round 6, Pick 208: Alex Highsmith, EDGE, Charlotte
I have my doubts that Highsmith falls this far after recording a 15 sack season at Charlotte last season. Buffalo needs a bit of help rushing the passer and creating pressure. Highsmith is a high-ceiling, low-floor player who I honestly don't have expectations for. He may excel or he may just be another non-Power-5 player who shined in college but doesn't translate to the NFL. Who knows, he might have a season like Maxx Crosby did for the Raiders this year.

There's no doubt that women are still facing the challenges of stereotypes, especially when you're a woman in a male-dominated industry. Transitioning from sports to tech, Lindsay McCormick successfully proves that women can break the traditional workplace roles.
McCormick is a sports broadcaster whose career has taken her from hosting live events for the Super Bowl XLIX to being a guest correspondent for Showtime. Now, she is taking over the world of tech as an investor on Elevator Pitch. In an interview with McCormick about the challenges and successes she faces in her career, and the impact of being a female in a male-dominated industry.
1. From your experience and success in the field of sports broadcasting, what did you learn about the traditional roles of female broadcasting? How are you challenging those roles?
2. Can you share a specific moment, anecdote, where you experienced sexism? How did you react, and overcome it? (Many women don't know how to react in these situations because of fear of losing their job or opportunities, our audience would love your tips and advice on this).
3. Being in male-dominated industries, do you think women are still judged by their appearance instead of their achievements? How can we change this outdated narrative?
I think anyone on TV is judged by their appearance, hence why even men can spend hours in hair and makeup. Are women judged harsher? Yes. I'm not sure this will change anytime soon.
I don't view it as leaving the sports world, as the two are starting to go hand-in-hand. Look at how big e-sports are becoming! I was fortunate that Ray Brown, executive producer of a movie I was in, "The Bounce Back," introduced me to Trevor Doerksen, CEO of ePlay Digital, who is launching Big Shot (essentially the sports version of Pokemon Go). I'm grateful that Trevor wanted Robert Horry and me to tag along on the ride as advisors and in-game avatars. This is how I first got involved with the world of tech.
When I first started in sports, you could count the number of women on television on one hand, and everyone knew their names: Robin Roberts, Suzy Kolber, Linda Cohn, Lisa Salters. I can't tell you how many job interviews I went on where employers would flat out say, "You are too young," or "Prove your sports knowledge to us. Male viewers won't believe a woman understands the game." I've found the tech world—and business in general right now—to be quite receptive to working with women. It's up to women to take advantage of the new opportunities!
7. As an investor, what do you look for in startups and founders? How does a founder or an idea get your attention?
The first thing I look for is a strong work ethic and passion for their product or service. Secondly, do they have experience in the marketplace? It's always more comforting to invest in someone who has had previous success, but I'm also open to those with less experience.
8. What's next for you and how will you be using your success and story to uplift and support other women?

Tip of the Month - May 2007
Cover your Assets-Renter's Insurance
Source: Mark P. Charron-Journey of Property Management
(Deloitte & Touche, Inc.)
Most residential lease agreements are specific about the Landlord not being responsible for the loss of perishable goods or any other event in a power outage. It becomes more complicated if it can be determined that it was the Landlord's negligence that caused the outage. Residential Landlords should encourage Tenants to purchase Renters Insurance. While it would typically exclude claims resulting from loss of power, Renters Insurance does provide coverage for many other risks.
A Renter cannot look to the Landlord's property policy for protection. Typically, the Landlord is only insuring the building, not its contents.
The Renter's personal property therefore, is their responsibility. In addition to personal property, Renter's Insurance also provides liability coverage in the event a Guest of the Renter requires medical treatment.

When to Sell Estate Jewelry
Deciding to sell estate jewelry can be a big decision. When you want to sell estate jewelry some foresight is very helpful. Any type of considerate information is always helpful when dealing with jewelry. A set of jewelry is generally valued more with the complete all together. A set of earrings will sell for more in the complete set rather than if it was sold piece by piece. The difference can be thousands of dollars. If jewelry is backed by certification and authentication papers it will be worth more too. Gathering up the information before hand is vital and meaningful to do. The information about the jewelry will insure that you are going to get the top dollar for the pieces that you are trying to sell. Many people are surprised that when they want to sell estate jewelry they can get the jewelry appraised for free of charge at Revere Jewels.

Project Opens Doors to Jobs and Hope in Gaza
Baltimore, MD (March 18, 2016) — Growing up in the Gaza Strip, Sami, 24, was driven by a dream to ease the suffering of others. He pursued that dream by attending nursing school, from which he graduated with honors. Harsh reality quickly followed as he was unable to find a nursing job or a way to support his wife and two young daughters. Sami even volunteered long hours at public hospitals in the hope that doing so would lead to work, but the hospitals weren't hiring.
Anwwar, 23, faced the same struggle. One year after graduating with a degree in accounting, the young woman could not find work. With a terminally ill father and younger siblings still in school, Anwwar felt pressure to be the family's only breadwinner. "My education cost me and my family a lot of money; we went into debt to pay for it," she said. "I have to work so I can earn an income to support my family, pay for my father's medication, and pay off my school debt."
Nine years of living under a strict blockade has crippled Gaza's economy. The lack of jobs has created widespread poverty and overwhelmed community service agencies. More than 80 percent of Gazans rely on assistance in order to survive. IOCC is working to reduce the rising unemployment and ease the burden on understaffed service organizations in Gaza by creating short-term job opportunities for Gaza's college graduates. With support from Peace Winds Japan, the IOCC program has paired 210 recent university graduates with paid positions at 30 grassroots organizations that serve the educational, health, agricultural, and community rehabilitation needs of Gaza's people.
"Through this program, IOCC is striking three birds with one stone," Gaza Program Director Nael Younis explained. "First, we are creating cash-for-work opportunities for new graduates from households facing food insecurity so they can earn money for basic necessities; second, we are providing opportunities for new graduates to build and grow their professional skills; and third, we are empowering local partners by providing them with additional human resources for expanding their community services and outreach."
Anwwar's new position as an accountant for a local organization is generating an income for her and earning praise from her boss, who plans to keep her on after the three-month project is over. Sami now works as a nurse at a community health center in his hometown of Khan Younis, treating children who suffer from malnutrition and teaching parents how to improve their children's health. His addition to the healthcare staff fills an unmet need in the community and gives Sami the opportunity he says he has hoped for since his own childhood. "Having a job that matches my field of study and generates an income to support my family while I serve the community is a great feeling."
"This project is instilling hope in the hearts of Gaza's young people at a time when all doors are closed in their faces and around them," stated IOCC Country Representative George Malki. "It really gives meaning to what they have worked to achieve in a place where signs of hope seem to be fading away."
IOCC has been providing humanitarian assistance in Jerusalem, the West Bank, and Gaza since 1997, working to help improve the lives of the region's most vulnerable people in times of conflict and increased isolation.
IOCC is the official humanitarian aid agency of the Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops of the United States of America. Since its inception in 1992, IOCC has delivered $580 million in relief and development programs to families and communities in more than 50 countries. IOCC is a member of the ACT Alliance, a global coalition of more than 140 churches and agencies engaged in development, humanitarian assistance and advocacy, and a member of InterAction, the largest alliance of U.S.–based secular and faith-based organizations working to improve the lives of the world's most poor and vulnerable populations.

The 24 year old QB Josh Allen has heard some stiff criticism from many – he was the 7th overall pick in 2018 and nailed his spot as the starting QB and winning 5 games in his rookie year. He heard that he wasn't accurate; he was too wild when throwing the ball. His style on the field isn't common but that doesn't make him any less a QB when slinging the ball. That struggling rookie 2018 season is a long ago memory – faded away like the VCR from the 80's. The Bills have struggled to be a strong offense in the league for many seasons but now they are now sitting at 8th in the NFL hanging 27.8ppg. This is based on the heart of Allen and his dedication to becoming better as a passer. The question of his viability as a QB was verging on being looked at as a terrible crisis for the team that made a crummy choice at the 7th spot.
Allen took over a Buffalo Bills team that was substandard and had been a bottom feeding to middling team since the 90's – in terms of having poor offense, and their many times over sub .500 records. Keep in mind, Buffalo hasn't had a great team for many years. The 6-5 gunslinger is now surrounded by a solid roster, with 5yr vet Stefon Diggs – sneaky underappreciated WR Cole Beasley coming into his own, opposite power runner Zack Moss and 23 year old RB Devin Singletary giving the Buffalo Bills a punishing 1-2 punch, with some good route running WRs and some young tenacious RBs.
The Bills see encouraging and bigtime signs with Josh Allen – and Buffalo's offense can finally keep pace with its defense. Through 2020 – the 3rd year QB has been wonderful this season, pumping out 26 passing TDs, 6 rushing TDs, and completing almost 70% of his passes. From early on – he knew he had stuff to work on, and that's exactly what he has done, and it shows – going from a 52% passer to 69%. The best part about QB Allen right now is the confidence he has been showing – even after an interception, where it can turn into a long day for many QBs – he shakes it off and pulls it together. He bounces back with revenge in his eyes and unbordered vigor – he doesn't blink and keeps pushing forward. The former Wyoming QB is doing a magnificent job, picking up huge wins against Seattle and the LA Rams and playing in the AFC East division – with the reigning 20+ year dominance of the New England Patriots looking like they are finally done after so many years in charge.
It is a perfect storm and winning combination for him.
Josh Allen led the low scoring 10-6 Buffalo Bills to the playoffs in 2019 – and will likely do it again this year, this time with much more skill and a team that can really hang points on the scoreboard. I'm not saying he's the perfect QB – but he is the perfect guy to lead this Bills team.

Special Events
Lost City offers a full calendar of well-attended, animated and inclusive events that give members a chance to relax and to enjoy their Club and each other.

Membership bonds are strong and are based on a shared passion for the game of golf, and truly enjoying each other's company. Lost City's social events are the glue that binds our tight-knit community.
Kick-start your week with a Monday Night Mixer.
