WhatsApp will remove a leaf from Verificado and Comprova, two activities it had intended to expose false stories and talk in races in Mexico and Brazil separately, in front of India's next general decisions.
Verificado 2018, is a reality checking activity over numerous web based life stages including WhatsApp. Propelled around five months previously the Mexican race date on July 1, the activity had accomplices in 28 of the nation's 32 states.
Rather than utilizing communicate to spread exposes, Verificado picked 'singular relationship'. They made a WhatsApp line to which clients can send stories they think to be false and have them confirmed. Verificado truth checks the realness on the bit of substance and reacts to singular clients.
They have watched that most phony news are either pictures or recordings. Once an image or picture coursing on the web is exposed, they put it up as WhatsApp statuses to supporters of the WhatsApp line to effectively expose counterfeit stories.
Only two weeks after the dispatch of Verificado's WhatsApp line, they had 4,800 endorsers and got a staggering 18,500 messages — 13,800 of which it has replied. On a normal they transfer 10 distinctive news stories exposing them as false, with more than 1000 perspectives each.
Verificado had just a four part group to complete the whole procedure. Be that as it may, before five months' over, they distributed in excess of 400 notes, 50 recordings, and more than 5 million visits.
Dissimilar to in Brazil or Mexico, an extra test in receiving such activities in India is the numerous dialects it must be taken off in.
The second feature is the Comprova activity where 24 Brazilian media outlets are factchecking viral substance in front of decisions in October this year. The media outlets traverse no matter how you look at it with top TV, print, radio, and online media organizations taking an interest in the system.
Comprova is taking a shot at a WhatsApp scattering methodology where they include neighborhood ministers and influencers to expose counterfeit news. Comprova can likewise send messages to a great many contacts in the application, rather than 256 for every rundown allowed for customary clients.
Curiously, the majority of these activities are subsidized by Facebook, Google, and Twitter themselves to battle deception. For a bit of news to be exposed as phony, it must be approved by two other media in the comprova organize.
The story is later distributed on the site and on comprova's profile on interpersonal organizations. It is likewise duplicated in the pages and profiles of the accomplice productions.
This activity is one of a kind since it is the first run through different contending news outlets have met up to cross-check content coursed in Brazilian informal communities.

Whiteley Memorial to find new home in town
The controversial <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 />Whiteley Memorial Monument at Pukearuhe, in North Taranaki, will be dismantled and not rebuilt, the New Plymouth Methodist Church has announced.
Instead, the church will display the plaque and cross in an accessible location at the New Plymouth Methodist Centre, behind the Whiteley Memorial Church in Liardet Street.
The monument was erected to the memory of the Rev John Whiteley in 1923 from funds collected by the Methodist Church throughout New Zealand. It was erected on a former Ngati Tama pah site close to the spot where Whiteley, a renowned Wesleyan misssionary, was killed in 1869 during the Taranaki Land Wars.
Church spokesperson John Chittenden says Whiteley was killed, together with a number of other people, by a raiding party from Waikato. Oral tradition suggests he was warned by people of Ngati Tama not to proceed past a certain point, but ignored their warning.
"While a missionary to the Maori people, it would appear that Whiteley was a typical Victorian Englishman, loyal to God and the Queen, and saw no fault in being a Government agent at the same time. With the hindsight of history, this does not rest easy with the people of the iwi."
The current debate centres on the iwi's right to remove the monument and the feelings of local Pakeha people (including some church members) who see the monument as a part of settler/missionary history and oppose its removal.
"The Crown reserve on which the monument was erected has now been transferred back to Ngati Tama as part of a Waitangi Treaty settlement," John says.
"From Ngati Tama's perspective it is inappropriate for the monument to remain on their wahi tapu site. The Methodist Church is committed to addressing the causes of past grievances between Maori and Tauiwi and acknowledges Ngati Tama's right to receive the land free of any encumbrance, as agreed by the Office of Treaty Settlements."
The only Historic Place classification on the site is a wahi tapu classification, reflecting the cultural significance of the pah site to Ngati Tama, John says.
"The Church is conscious that a number of parties have expressed concern at the plan to remove the monument. It has been a landmark at Pukearuhe for 81 years and its removal has been the subject of a front page article and an editorial in The Daily News. It has also been the subject of numerous letters to the editor."
The Taranaki branch of the New Zealand Founders' Society had expressed a view that the cairn might be saved or relocated.
While being sympathetic to the views of those people, the decision to dismantle the cairn and relocate only the plaque and cross recognises that there are other memorials to the Rev Whiteley in the area, notably the church erected to his memory in New Plymouth. It is inappropriate to move the cairn to another site at Pukearuhe as it identifies the general location of Whiteley's death.
"Given Whiteley's commitment to mission to both Maori and settler alike it would be a tragedy for his memorial monument to be an ongoing source of discontent," John says." Perhaps the best memorial the church of today can erect to the Rev Whiteley is the removal of a significant past grievance to pave the way forward."

On the 14th of March, at a quarter to three in the afternoon, the greatest living thinker ceased to think. He had been left alone for scarcely two minutes, and when we came back we found him in his armchair, peacefully gone to sleep -- but for ever.
But that is not all. Marx also discovered the special law of motion governing the present-day capitalist mode of production, and the bourgeois society that this mode of production has created. The discovery of surplus value suddenly threw light on the problem, in trying to solve which all previous investigations, of both bourgeois economists and socialist critics, had been groping in the dark.
Two such discoveries would be enough for one lifetime. Happy the man to whom it is granted to make even one such discovery. But in every single field which Marx investigated -- and he investigated very many fields, none of them superficially -- in every field, even in that of mathematics, he made independent discoveries.
Such was the man of science. But this was not even half the man. Science was for Marx a historically dynamic, revolutionary force. However great the joy with which he welcomed a new discovery in some theoretical science whose practical application perhaps it was as yet quite impossible to envisage, he experienced quite another kind of joy when the discovery involved immediate revolutionary changes in industry, and in historical development in general. For example, he followed closely the development of the discoveries made in the field of electricity and recently those of Marcel Deprez.
For Marx was before all else a revolutionist. His real mission in life was to contribute, in one way or another, to the overthrow of capitalist society and of the state institutions which it had brought into being, to contribute to the liberation of the modern proletariat, which he was the first to make conscious of its own position and its needs, conscious of the conditions of its emancipation. Fighting was his element. And he fought with a passion, a tenacity and a success such as few could rival. His work on the first Rheinische Zeitung (1842), the Paris Vorwarts (1844), the Deutsche Brusseler Zeitung (1847), the Neue Rheinische Zeitung (1848-49), the New York Tribune (1852-61), and, in addition to these, a host of militant pamphlets, work in organisations in Paris, Brussels and London, and finally, crowning all, the formation of the great International Working Men's Association -- this was indeed an achievement of which its founder might well have been proud even if he had done nothing else.
And, consequently, Marx was the best hated and most calumniated man of his time. Governments, both absolutist and republican, deported him from their territories. Bourgeois, whether conservative or ultra-democratic, vied with one another in heaping slanders upon him. All this he brushed aside as though it were a cobweb, ignoring it, answering only when extreme necessity compelled him. And he died beloved, revered and mourned by millions of revolutionary fellow workers -- from the mines of Siberia to California, in all parts of Europe and America -- and I make bold to say that, though he may have had many opponents, he had hardly one personal enemy.
His name will endure through the ages, and so also will his work.

Roadburn 2018 Announces Cul de Sac Lineup with Bison, Comet Control, Mirror Queen, Hair of the Dog and More
Posted in Whathaveyou on February 15th, 2018 by JJ Koczan
And so we see Roadburn 2018 once again open its gaping maw of righteousness to hurl forth another barrage of acts to its long-since-completely-overwhelming lineup. You know how many distinct acts are discussed in the press release below? 32 by my count. And granted, I've never been much for counting, and a couple of them were previously announced and are playing additional sets, etc., but do you see my point?
My point is this: Roadburn 2018 makes an announcement for its smallest venue — the get-there-super-early-no-earlier-than-that Cul de Sac — and tightens up a few other odds and ends, and all of a sudden you've basically got an entire other festival being announced. 30 bands? That's a fest. Roadburn throws it all out there like, "Oh it's nothing. We do this every year." And they do.
So who's my absolute gotta-see on this list? If you read the names below and have been hanging around here for a bit, you can probably already guess it's Comet Control. I was hoping they'd be added since they're touring with Earthless and still supporting 2016's much-loved Center of the Maze (review here). I'll be there for them for sure — scheduling conflicts be damned. If it means there's a chance I might get to watch that band play "Artificial Light," I don't care if I have to set up a tent in the middle of the Cul de Sac floor. I'm not missing it.
Here's the update from the PR wire:
Roadburn 2018: Cul de Sac bands, pre-show party & more!
Roadburn's artistic director, Walter Hoeijmakers comments:
"The sales of day tickets alongside weekend passes have surpassed our expectations and we're on course for another sell out year at Roadburn. We couldn't be happier as we dive headlong into putting the finishing touches to the 2018 edition.
"We still have the side programme to announce, and of course, the all important schedules, but for now, we think there's plenty for you to sink your teeth into with this announcement. The depth and variety of talent on show here is truly stunning."
The Cul de Sac may be Roadburn's smallest venue, but each year a hell of a lot of talent is packed into it's confines. 2018 is no different with a stellar line up of bands both big and small who will be squeezing into the diminutive space and packing an enormous punch.
THURSDAY will see Une Misère reprise their performance with a second set. They'll be joined by instrumental duo Insect Ark, hard rockin' New Yorkers Mirror Queen, Dutch force of nature – Black Decades, the droning riffs of Galg, plus your personal soundtrack to the end of times courtesy of Sum of R.
FRIDAY has Earthless' tour mates, Comet Control preparing for lift off, extreme metallers Départe from Down Under, Danish export Hexis, Dutch death metal darlings, Ulsect and a second set from Worship that promises some special surprises.
SATURDAY will see Planning for Burial perform again, mining his back catalogue for gems. Hair of the Dog will return to Roadburn, and be joined by fellow 2016 alumni Concatenatus, plus Mania's mix of doom and black metal, and Phantom Winter's suffocating sludge.
SUNDAY sees tour mates Bison and LLNN roll into Tilburg in an uncompromising fashion. They will be joined by the progressive sounds of Hidden Trails, a dual pronged Dutch attack in the form of Dystopia and Nefast, and visceral Italians, Syk.
SAN DIEGO TAKE OVER
Good news for fans of psychedelic riffs! There are new additions to the San Diego Take Over, and they're sure to bend your mind further into previously unknown directions. Unraveling the threads that run between the family of bands that make up the SDTO would require a headspace much clearer than anyone involved is quite capable of, but suffice to say that the pedigree running through the bands is of the standard you have come to expect.
RED OCTOPUS mix influences such as early Sabbath, Hawkwind and Can into a psychedelic wonderland.
ARCTIC is a California power trio steeped in the roots of early 70's blues/psych, á la Blue Cheer and Band of Gypsies, while drawing elements of modern heavy, reminiscent of early Sleep. Heavy, sludgy, stoner psych played with a slow, driving energy. The band features three pro skaters, Figgy on guitar, Frecks on drums and Nuge on bass.
VOLCANO is a soundtrack for an ancient apocalypse. Primordial rhythm and afro-inspired melodies fill their grooves. The rumble in the distance grows, the forest falls silent. Let their trance fuel the dance, while theres still time. Let the lava flow…
PHARLEE was forged in the middle of the white-hot psychedelic jam scene in San Diego, California from members of Harsh Toke, Sacri Monti and Joy. But don't let their geographical origin and associated acts mislead you. Pharlee walks their own path on scorched-earth. Forgoing the weed-fuelled jams of their counterparts for full-on the speed-ruled riffage. Partying off the sounds of Priest, Motorhead, Betty Davis and ACID, Pharlee create a new shrilling sound.
The San Diego Takeover is supported by the Performing Arts Fund NL.
TOBY DRIVER & ZVI
These two component parts of Kayo Dot will be making their presence felt at Roadburn 2018 as they perform (separately) on Thursday, 19 April.
As a solo performer, on guitar, keyboard, and voice, Toby Driver has been exploring dark, austere neofolk akin to Grouper, Talk Talk, Current 93, and others, with a subtle progressive and unsettling edge, featured in his recent release, Madonnawhore (The Flenser, 2017). Along with songs from Madonnawhore, he will also be performing pieces from his forthcoming solo album, They Are The Shield, and additionally, a few left turns are of course to be expected.
Zvi is guitarist / vocalist Ron Varod (Kayo Dot, Sabbath Assembly, Psalm Zero, Myrkur) performing and recording solo since 2004. During the 40 minute run time of Zvi's 2016's Death Stops Us All, Varod gently wakes us up with a whispered vocal over nylon string guitar, pummels us with throbbing noise and lulls us back to sleep with droned out suspended clusters and Talk Talk-esque clean guitars.
RRRAGS
Formed by singer / drummer Rob Martin (formerly of Bliksem), guitarist Ron Van Herpen (Astrosoniq, ex-The Devil's Blood) and Rob Zim (bass, Lords of Altamont), RRRags emulates the sounds and styles of power trio's such as Grand Funk, Blue Cheer and James Gang. But in addition to their fuzzed-out and soulful approach, there are also touches of psychedelica and psyfunk, which sets the band apart from the current crop of Sabbath worshipers, or old school hardrock devotees.
HARD ROCK HIDEOUT
Roadburn's annual pre-party returns! For those in Tilburg on Wednesday evening, before the festival kicks off "proper", we welcome Roadburners to the city in style! This year we have teamed up with Babylon Doom Cult Records in Belgium to present speed metallers Bütcher, and Speed Queen, plus genre-crossing Witch Trail.
The Hard Rock Hideout is FREE and will take place at the Cul de Sac.
As with last year, the festival's wristband exchange will be open on Wednesday, April 18 between 18.30-23.00 for early arrivals to pick up their passes in advance of Roadburn kicking off on Thursday.

Over the years, Motorola has proven to be one of the best when it comes to having accessories available for its flagship phones at launch. While other smartphone makers (read: Samsung and Google) show off fancy accessory lineups during unveilings of products, we almost never see any of them for months, if ever. But Moto almost always seems to have top quality docks, cases, and other gadgetry around so that you can make the most out of your recently purchased smartphone. With the Moto X, that appears to be the case once again.
We have already put our hands on the Motorola Skip wearable NFC tag. But we've also seen a really sharp looking desktop dock, along with an official car dock that we wouldn't be surprised to see go live tomorrow when the Moto X becomes available through AT&T.
Another accessory you will see before long is the InCase Snap Case that we have in house to show you today. Motorola worked with InCase to create a perfectly molded clear case that can be used to protect your phone without hiding the custom design you put together through their MotoMaker service.
With the case on, you'll feel no movement. The Snap Case attaches with a firm grip to the Moto X, and has cutouts and molded parts made specifically to help highlight Motorola's phone design. They even cutout an extra long strip on the back so that you can use the dimple that everyone with a Moto X seems to be oddly in love with (us included). To find out more, be sure to watch the video below.
Once the phone goes live tomorrow, I'd assume that you'll be able to buy it from Motorola's site here. We don't have official confirmation, but the case could run $29.95.

This new, week-long intensive arose by popular request of our past participants, wanting to deepen their meditation practice. It is geared towards young people who already have meditation experience, but also for everyone who knows that they want to experience meditation in-depth directly. The seminar includes longer meditation periods, studying meditation and its mode of action, as well as periods of silence.
Reading together, listening to talks, and exchange on our experience bring tremendous joy and create connection. And although we don't really "do" anything in meditation, it still is the most effective and profound practice for discovering our true self.
Besides several hours of meditation (including breaks and walking meditation) in the morning and afternoon, we offer daily talks and study courses on meditation and meditation in daily life. We are also happy to facilitate one-on-one interviews with our trained meditation instructors on demand. All parts of our programme are of course voluntary and serve the purpose of getting to know meditation in its depth, really experiencing and exploring it. Alongside this, there is always plenty of time for walks and retreating.
The meeting place Neumühle is one of the oldest meditation centres in Europe, idyllically situated in a forest and meadows. Its former flour mill nowadays functions as an oasis of silence and recreation. Gentle rolling hills, welcoming meditation spaces, and the comfortable ambience make for calmness, rest, and gathering the mind.
Click the link below for a direct access to Google Maps. The retreat is at Seminarhaus Neumühle in Saarland/Germany.
To reach the seminar house via car is very easy – 15min from the highway A8. A Ride Share Signup Sheet will be published before the program.
You can also travel to Mettlach via train where we are happy to pick you up from the station. Please visit the website Deutsche Bahn to check your options.
The next airports are Saarbrücken, Luxemburg or Karlsruhe.
Price: 455 Euros (including accomodation in 2 to 3-bed-rooms, full pension, costs of the seminar and optional collection at station Mettlach). If available, one-bed-rooms can be booked for €100 more.
Where and when? Seminarhaus Neumühle in Saarland/Germany. 21 April – 28 April 2019.
Lectures will be given in English. Participants come from different countries.

With the laparoscopic expertise of Gem Hospital & Research Centre and the expertise of Medanta Institute of Biliary Sciences ,Gurgaon in liver transplantation, the Gem-Medanta Institute of Liver transplantation is proud to be India's only Laparoscopic living donor liver transplant centre.
Using this technique , the living donor(one who donated a portion of his/her liver) would have the surgery performed using laparoscopy .This would give all the advantages of laparoscopy to this patient enabling fast and safe recovery. This is usually performed using the open technique where the abdomen of the patients will be opened to remove the portion of the liver.
Laparoscopic donor liver resection is quite popular in South Korea. But with this now available in India at GEM, is a big step ahead in the field of liver transplantation in India. Gem Hospital is equipped with the latest imaging technologies like the 3D, 4K etc which enable these surgeries to be performed with utmost precision. We have now introduced the da Vinci robotic technology, using which the same could also be done.
Liver transplantation is indicated for conditions like Chronic liver diseases related to alcohol, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, metabolic liver diseases etc.


Location: Angeles National Forest north of the San Fernando Valley. From I-210, take the Sunland Blvd. exit. Head east (turn left if you're coming from the north; right if from the south) on Sunland Blvd., which becomes Foothill Blvd. At 0.7 miles, turn left on Oro Vista Avenue. At 0.9 miles, bear right onto Big Tujunga Canyon Road. Go 4.4 miles and turn left onto Forest Service Road 3N29 (if you reach Wildwood or Vogel Flats, you've come too far). Go 0.2 miles and turn right at the fork. Go 0.2 miles and park at the trail head. The dirt road is in good shape and shouldn't present a problem, although it is narrow, so be careful. A National Forest Service Adventure Pass ($5 per day or $30 for the year) is required for parking here. Click here to purchase. Note: If the gate is closed, you will have to park at the bottom of 3N29 and walk up the fire road, adding a total of 0.8 miles round trip and 150 feet of elevation gain. No Adventure Pass is required to park on the shoulder of Big Tujunga Canyon Road, but note posted restrictions.
Camping/backpacking: The Tom Lucas Trail Camp is about two miles beyond the waterfall for those who want a longer trip with a backpacking option.
Located in the southwestern corner of the Angeles National Forest, just a short drive from the edge of the San Fernando Valley suburbs, Trail Canyon Falls is a perennial favorite of L.A. hikers, especially since re-opening following the Station Fire. The 30-foot waterfall is impressive after heavy spring rains and even in dry times, Trail Canyon is an area that feels pleasantly remote, especially considering how close it is to civilization.
Begin either at the information board by the cabins in the parking area or, if the gate at the bottom of 3N29 is closed, by walking up the fire road for 0.4 mile. The trail is well signed. Almost immediately you make the first of eight stream crossings, some of which can be pretty tricky if the water level is high. You pass a few cabins before reaching a junction where the trail becomes a single-track and climbs to a ridge before briefly dropping down to make the second stream crossing.
Head deeper into the canyon, crossing the stream several more times and keeping an eye out for poison oak. Between the sixth and seventh crossings is a picnic table beneath an oak tree. After the eighth crossing you pass another oak tree, a possible site for remote camping (about 1.1 miles from the info board and 1.5 miles from Big Tujunga Canyon Road). The trail then makes its climb up the western wall of Trail Canyon.
You ascend steadily, picking up about 350 feet over the next 0.6 mile, the views getting better and better. After rounding a bend, you get your first view of Trail Canyon Falls. The base of the falls can be reached via a steep use trail. About half way down, a nylon rope helps negotiate the drop, although there are enough handholds that, with caution, the descent can be made without the rope.
At the bottom of the drop, head upstream and climb around a few fallen trees to arrive at the base of the waterfall, which drops about 30 feet over a polished granite ledge into a small pool. After enjoying Trail Canyon Falls, retrace your steps. You can continue a short distance farther along the trail to the top of the waterfall.
As for the name? The "Trail" in Trail Canyon refers to the "trail" of gold flakes seen in the creek by miners in the early 20th century. Like most mining attempts, efforts to get rich in Trail Canyon were not successful.


Columbia used trickery to stun Stanford 7-0 in the 1934 Rose Bowl.
Way back in simpler times, long before SportsCenter, BCS and the Chick-Fil-A Bowl, there were four major bowl games. played like clockwork, year after year, on New Year's Day. Rose, Orange, Sugar and Cotton.
The Granddaddy of them all, the Rose Bowl, began in 1902, when Michigan routed Stanford, 49-0. The following year, polo replaced football as the sports attraction. From 1904 through 1915, the Tournament of Roses held chariot races, but dwindling interest and economic factors persuaded the return to football as the main attraction in 1916.
That year, Washington beat Brown, 14-0; the following year Oregon defeated Penn by the same score.
In today's world of major college football, Ivy League schools like Brown and Penn would never see the light of the Rose Bowl. Nor would Bucknell, which defeated Miami of Florida 26-0 in the inaugural Orange Bowl in 1935. That same year, Tulane edged Temple 20-14 in the first Sugar Bowl.
The Mare Island Marines defeated Camp Lewis Army 19-7 as service teams supplied the competition for war-time continuance of the Tournament of Roses game.
The Great Lakes Navy, led by future NFL Hall of Famers Paddy Driscoll, who passed for a touchdown and George Halas, who scored twice, beat Mare Island 17-0.
Unbeaten but once tied Harvard defeated Oregon by a 7-6 margin on Arnold Horween's kick for an extra point following a 12-yard touchdown run by Fred Church.
In a stunning upset, Columbia resorted to a bit of trickery, right, by legendary coach Lou Little to upset Stanford 7-0. Al Barabas skirts 17 yards completely unmolested or detected on a hidden ball play to score the winning touchdown.
The first Orange Bowl game was a blowout, Bucknell defeating Miami of Florida 26-0. The game was broadcast on CBS Radio, and recognition for south Florida was amply raised during the inaugural year.
Catholic University held off a late rally by Ole Miss to prevail 20-19. Cardinal fans in D.C. managed to sweep up President Franklin Roosevelt on his way to church during a 3,000-person victory parade up Pennsylvania Avenue.
A desperation 72-yard touchdown pass from tailback Boyd Brumbaugh to Ernie Hefferle spelled an end to Mississippi State's hopes as Duquesne edged the Bulldogs 13-12.
Santa Clara beat LSU two years in a row, 21-14 in 1937 and 6-0 in 1948. The Broncos also knocked off Babe Parilli and Kentucky 21-13 in the 1950 Orange Bowl.
St. Mary's 20 forced eight turnovers, built up a 20-0 lead and held off the Red Raiders for a 20-13 victory.
Fordham nipped Missouri 2-0 in a game played in the rain and mud of New Orleans. The only points came in the first quarter when Fordham's Alex Santilli blocked a punt and Stanley Ritinksi tracked it down, sliding through the end zone and out-of-bounds for a safety.
Some unlikely major bowl losers in addition to Brown and Penn in the Rose Bowl were Marquette, which lost to TCU 16-6 in the first Cotton Bowl; Carnegie Tech which lost to TCU 15-7 in the 1939 Sugar Bowl; and Georgetown, which fell to Mississippi State 14-7 in the 1941 Orange Bowl.
In the 1946 Orange Bowl, the winning touchdown for Miami of Florida came after time had expired. With the score tied 6-6, a pass by Holy Cross quarterback Gene DeFilippo was deflected into the arms of defensive back Al Hudson, who returned the ball 89 yards for the winning touchdown as the Hurricanes won 13-6.
Most baseball fans over 40, especially Yankee fans, can still remember where they were on Thursday, August, 2, 1979, when they heard the news.
That was the day Yankee captain and catcher Thurman Munson perished in a fiery plane crash in Canton, Ohio, while practicing take-offs and landings in his new Cessna Citation jet.
Thirty years ago, I was a sports columnist and assistant city editor at the Fitchburg-Leominster Sentinel & Enterprise in north central Massachusetts. The newspaper's softball team, the Deadliners, was in the midst of a close game against one of the best teams in the league when we heard about Munson.
The stunned 'Liners rallied that day to win in walk-off fashion. Over beers after the game at a local tavern, we dedicated our victory to Thurman Munson.
I recently finished reading Marty Appel's book "Munson: The Life and Death of a Yankee captain." Appel, at one-time the Yankees PR director, co-authored Munson's best-selling autobiography in 1978.
But more important, Appel's book it paints a picture of Munson the man from those who knew him best — his family, his friends and his teammates.
Appel chronicles the last days of Thurman Munson's life, including the plane crash that led to his untimely passing at the age of 32.
Munson's closest friends on the team, Lou Piniella and Bobby Murcer, delivered eulogies to their fallen comrade at Munson's funeral in Canton. In his eulogy, Murcer quoted Angelo Patri, a noted American educator, author and philosopher and my great uncle.
"The life of a soul on earth lasts beyond departure.
You will always feel that life touching yours.
The voice, speaking to you, talking to you in the familiar things he touched, worked with, loved as familiar friends.
And live he did…He lived…He led…He loved. Whatever he was to each one of us….catcher,….captain….competitor…husband….father….friend….He should be remembered as a man who valued and followed the basic principles of life.
The Yankees were exhausted the day they buried their captain. The had flown from New York to Ohio for the funeral early that morning, then flown back home from a Monday night baseball game with the Orioles at Yankee Stadium.
That night, Murcer insisted that manager Billy Martin lput him in the lineup. He went on to drive home all five runs as the Yankees came back from a 4-0 deficit to beat Baltimore, 5-4.
Murcer gave the bat he used that night to Diana Munson, Thurman's widow. He never used it again.
Jacob Ruppert's plaque hangs in Monument Park in Yankee Stadium, but not in the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown.
There are 31 pioneer/executives in the Baseball Hall of Fame — and Jacob Ruppert Jr. is not one of them.
Walter O'Malley, Tom Yawkey, Barney Dreyfuss, Charlie Comiskey and Larry and Lee McPhail are in. So is Clark Griffith and Bill Veeck (as in Wreck). But no Ruppert, by George, even though he was "The Boss" long before Mr. Steinbrenner.
The man who put the Yankees on the map and helped them grow into America's most famous franchise and sports brand, the guy who signed three of the greatest players ever and won seven World Series is on the outside looking in when it comes to Cooperstown.
Two of the managers who worked under Ruppert — Miller Huggins and Joe McCarthy — are in the Hall, So is his long-time general manager with the Yankees, Ed Barrow.
Yet the owner who built "The House that Ruth Built" is not in the Hall of Fame.
Jacob Ruppert had already make fame as a United States congressman from New York, a colonel in the National Guard, and a brewery owner when he and Tillinghast L'Hommedieu Huston acquired the Yankees in 1915. The Yankees, who were born as the Highlanders in 1903 and played their games in upper Manhattan, had been pretty much the laughingstock of the American League under the team's first owners, Frank Farrell and William S. Devery.
The Yankees had zero American League pennants, just two second place finishes, and only five seasons over .500 from their founding until Ruppert and Huston took over. The Yankees hit rock bottom in 1912 with a last place finish and a .329 winning percentage, worst in team history. They finished seventh in 1913 and sixth in 1914.
Under the stewardship of Ruppert and Huston, the Yankees made steady progress starting in the 1915 season. Then in 1920 they made the move that is still talked about today, nearly 90 years later, when they purchased the contract of Babe Ruth from the Boston Red Sox for $100,000.
Ruth captivated fans with his batting exploits, and soon New York became the center of the baseball universe. The Yankees won their first AL pennant in 1921 and another in 1922. That year, Ruppert bought out Huston, and became the sole owner of the Yankees.
The team was just warming up. In 1923, they moved out of the Polo Grounds (where they were tenants to the New York Giants) and christened a brand new ballpark across the Harlem River in the Bronx. It didn't take long for Yankee Stadium to become the equivalent of the Roman Coliseum. And later that year they won their first World Series, defeating the in six games.
Under Ruppert's watch, the Yankees would win another pennant in 1926 and six more World Series — 1927, 28, 32, 36, 37 and 38 — before Ruppert passed away in the winter of 1939.
The Yankees dominated baseball throughout a good portion of the 1920s and 1930s, including the Murderers' Row team of 1927 that many consider the greatest team ever.
In addition to Ruth, Ruppert signed immortal first baseman Lou Gehrig to a Yankee contact in 1923, and the legendary Joe DiMaggio 11 years later.
A total of 13 Hall of Famers spent considerable time in the pinstripes during the Ruppert regime: Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggo, Home Run Baker, Earl Combs, Bill Dickey, Leo Durocher, Lefty Gomez, Waite Hoyt, Tony Lazzeri, Herb Pennock, Red Ruffing and Joe Sewell.
Everyone loves a parade, especially Alex Rodriguez, who came back from the depths to help lead the Yankees to a World Series win over the Phillies in 2009.
Alex Rodriguez hit rock bottom in the spring of 2009. Outed on steroid use, facing career-threatening hip surgery and considered A-Fraud by many fans, especially Yankee fans, Rodriguez had a permanent seat in the dead-end cafe.
Six months later, Alex Rodriguez was riding shotgun down Broadway in the Yankees victory parade. Criticized for choking in the clutch, he was arguably the Yankees MVP throughout their playoff run, with dramatic late-inning home runs against both the Twins and Angels and the biggest hit of the World Series, a two-out double in the ninth inning of Game Four that gave the Yankees the win and an insurmountable 3-1 lead against the Phillies.
Coming off a year in which he wound up with 30 homers and 100 RBIs despite missing 38 games, A-Rod was warming up for the post-season, where he hit..365 with six homers and 18 RBIs, just one off the major league record.
It doesn't take a psychologist to figure out what happened to A-Rod. He had bottomed out. He had nowhere to go but up. Suddenly he was playing with house money. He rolled the dice.
Then, once Rodriguez had the hip surgery and began his rehabilitation, he realized he was going to get a second chance on the ballfield.
A-Rod this year was a changed man. A different man than the one Selena Roberts described. in her book.
Sure, Alex Rodriguez still needs to be needed. That won't change. But in 2009, Change-Rod learned to dodge out of the spotlight. He wasn't the only Yankee superstar. He let his exploits speak for themselves.
He became more of a Yankee teammate, a brother in arms. You could tell by his facial expressions, his body language, that he was finally able to fully enjoy the successes of his teammates as well as his own. All the way to a World Championship.
Yep, it paid off for Pay-Rod in the end.
It would have been a tight squeeze, but with a little ingenuity fans could have seen the Knicks, Giants and Rangers on the same day.
The enterprising New York could have caught three originals franchises in action today – the Knicks, Giants and Rangers.
Sure, it's probably happened before. And it would have taken some hop-scotch back and forth across or under the Hudson to make it happen again.
But if anyone out there did it, send me a post card.
When the Giants are going right, the opposing quarterback – not Eli Manning – is the guy facing the big pass rush.
Since their Thanksgiving Day debacle in Denver, the New York Giants have had 10 days to figure things out; 10 days to try and save their season.
The Giants, pre-season picks to win the Super Bowl in some circles, showed why they are the NFL's most overrated team in that 26-6 drubbing by the Broncos. .
They looked like turkeys against the Broncos. It was their fifth loss in six games following a 5-0 start.
Even during their bad times, the Giants have almost always played their trademark smashmouth football style. Put pressure on the quarterback and stop the running game on defense. Maintain ball control with a strong running attack on offense.
Not lately. These Giants have been imposters in blue.
"Well to be honest with you, I don't even know what is going on." defensive end Osi Umenyiora, left, said earlier this week. That was before Tom Coughlin decided to bench both Osi and Fred Robbins — at least in certain situations — when the Giants play their divisional rival, the Dallas Cowboys, on Sunday.
The National Football League can be very forgiving. In spite of their prolonged slide, the Giants have a chance to turn their season around against their hated rivals.
A win over the Cowboys would put the Giants just a game behind Dallas in the NFC East. And the Giants would own the tiebreaker over the Cowboys by virtue of a 33-31 win that spoiled the opener of Cowboys Stadium.
Following the Dallas game, the Giants host another divisional rival and playoff contender, the Philadelphia Eagles.
The G-Men wrap up their season with road games at Washington and Minnesota, sandwiched around a home tilt with Carolina.
Amazingly, if they can figure things out in time, the Giants could still make a playoff run. They have the talent — less than two years ago they won the Super Bowl, and last year they started out 11-1 before losing four of their last five games, including a home playoff loss to the Eagles.
So which Giants team will show up against the Cowboys — the Super Bowl contender or the club that' has lost nine times in its last 16 games?


The Sunnyside Arch, on Queens Boulevard at 46th/Bliss Street, below the No. 7 elevated station, is perhaps an object only Sunnyside could love; therefore, Sunnyside might be forced to defend it against the Municipal Art Commission of the City of New York, which evidently wishes it would fall apart or be torn down.
At the November luncheon meeting of the Sunnyside Chamber of Commerce, Joseph Conley, chairman of Community Board 2, told the chamber members he had recently attended a commission hearing that looked into the case of the arch. Those who would preserve it have money in abeyance for needed repairs, but the Art Commission, which has existed since the consolidation of the city in 1898, must approve of such repairs. Conley said that the Art Commission had nothing but disdain for the arch, and suggested that those interested in preserving it should get an artist to redesign it. Somebody from the commission told him the arch should be more "kitschy" — a term he said he could not understand. And though the arch may be shabby at the moment, it is not dilapidated; the Department of Transportation inspected it, Conley said, and declared it "overbuilt", so its basic structure is sound.

The Minoans were an advanced peaceful civilization that lived in comfort with paved streets and sewers that were unheard of in the ancient world. They dedicated themselves to art and the love of life. They valued the natural world and created a naturalistic art style that is remarkable even by modern standards and was far advanced for the time. Thier joy in life shows in the remarkable frescoes that survive filled with vivid color, and finding beauty in both small and large things.
They valued leisure time and practiced sophisticated athletic recreation. Women in Minoan culture had as important a place as men and economically all prospered, not just a wealthy few. Everyone appears to have lived in prosperity, unlike other ancient cultures. It was matrilineal, that is people traced their descent through the female, rather than the male line, and women played as important a role in the society as men. They did not feel the need for a standing army, and appear to have avoided military conflict. They were so sure of their security, perhaps because of their large fleet, that they lived in unfortified cities along the coast, again unheard of in this time of constant warfare.
Although there is much that we don't know about the Minoans, what we do know paints a remarkable picture of a society that was free of most of the problems that continue to plague us today. The later Greeks, looking back on this amazing culture, might well have thought of it as a utopia, a perfect place of knowledge, peace and prosperity. Many have suggested that the Minoans might well be the people that formed the basis of the legend of Atlantis, though other locations have been suggested over the years. The Minoans may be the best fit.
The legend of Atlantis first appears in western literature in the works of Plato. He speaks of Atlantis in his dialogues Kritias and Timaios. He reports that the Atlantians were a strong people who were virtuous and lived in peace. They had divine origins and were altogether remarkable. In time their divine nature faded and human nature asserted itself, leading to the decline of the Atlantians. The gods destroyed Atlantis in a single day and night by earthquakes and floods, and sunk it into the sea, leaving only mud behind. Plato reports through Kritias that it was a story which came from the Egyptians. The loss of perfection has fascinated us since, and there has been much speculation about the location of the lost city. Plato's purpose in writing about Atlantis was to tell a moral tale and to glorify Athens. Although most agree that there was a story of a lost civilization, no one can tell to what extent Plato might have embellished or manipulated the facts for his purposes. But if you look at the germ of the story - an advanced peaceful island civilization which disappeared suddenly by natural disaster - you have something very like the Minoans.
Could the Minoans be the people so distantly remembered in the time of Plato? Recent discoveries about their disappearance have supported this theory.

I grew up in a small village in the beautiful but remote countryside of West Germany and moved to Berlin in 1999 where I earned my master's degree in Modern and Contemporary History from Humboldt University. But in Berlin you never just study. While a committed student, the country bumpkin in me eagerly experienced and explored this biggest of Germany's villages, delved into its cultural scene and nightlife and soaked it up hungry for more. With the attentive eye of the New Berliner and keen on understanding the world and urban space around me, Berlin's history and current changes were always at the core of my attention. But I never thought it would become my real calling. In 2008, having received a scholarship, I moved to Budapest to start my academic career as a PhD student at the Central European University. Only when I came back to Berlin for research and started giving my first tours I found out that my real passion lies outside the highly specialized academic field. Being a tour guide became the job I loved. Who would have thought: tour guiding allows a history nerd not to see all her social skills, love for communication and wider interests gather dust in some archive.
My friend Arja and I founded Berlin Locals, our own tour company providing custom-made tours of Berlin, Potsdam and surroundings.)) Berlin with all its idiosyncrasies makes it so easy never to get bored or exhausted with exploring it. Join me on a trip into Germany's biggest village and an exploration of the peculiarities of the German capital!
I love how histories weave together, how different eras and aspects of life intersect and influence each other historically and every new era or site I learn about fascinates me because it adds to the mosaic. My academic focus has been on the history of the 20th century, particularly the Nazi era and the roaring 1920s. In addition, I have developed a special fascination with the immediate postwar period and the time of the Berlin Wall. Discussing the individual and public memory of two dictatorships and what this experience means for the people and the country is particularly important to me. And close to my heart personally are topics such as city development and politics, the city's art scene, cultural life and architecture, now and then.


Another blog is New Hope in Pictures. New Hope is a five-year capital campaign of the Episcopal Diocese of Bethlehem. The Campaign's five years are officially over though contributions may still be made. New Hope is divided between our companion diocese of Kajo-Keji in the world's newest country, South Sudan (75%), and the Needy in Northeastern Pennsylvania (25%). The blog principally concerns Kajo-Keji.
New Hope in Kajo-Keji is this picture, exemplifying our mission there. A school bombed out during the civil war necessitates classes to meet under the mango tree. Scattered debris in the foreground shows the scant attention to the environment in a subsistence economy. New Hope in Kajo-Keji has constructed five primary schools, a secondary school with a dormitory, and the Canon Benaiah Poggo College in Romogi.
New Hope in Pictures chronicles the eight trips I have made to Kajo-Keji on behalf of New Hope to plan, to construct, to dedicate, and to inspect the various buildings of the seven schools. The chronicles are cultural and theological observations about the contrasts and similarities of my experiences and those of my sisters and brothers in Kajo-Keji. I welcome your comments.

Dustin Poirier to accept, then auction off Jake Paul's 'Sleepy McGregor' chain
LOS ANGELES — Jake Paul had a custom chain made with the likeness of Conor McGregor after he was knocked out by Dustin Poirier at UFC 257 in January. The chain, which Paul dubbed "Sleepy McGregor," will now be changing owners — to Poirier, who plans to auction it off for charity.
Paul, the YouTube-star-turned-prizefighter, wore the chain on Saturday at UFC 264 in Las Vegas, where he saw Poirier beat McGregor by TKO after McGregor suffered a broken leg at the end of the first round. Paul offered the chain, which he said cost him $100,000 to have made, to Poirier on social media.
Paul told ESPN on Tuesday he is in the process of shipping it to the UFC lightweight star.
"It's real," Paul said after a news conference to promote his boxing match with former UFC welterweight champion Tyron Woodley, which is scheduled for Aug. 29 in Cleveland. "I'm hoping [Poirier] takes a picture with it. I think that'd be the most legendary thing and make Conor look so stupid."
Paul said after a social media exchange that Poirier sent over his address and "we're getting it shipped." Poirier's manager, Robert Roveta, confirmed to ESPN that Paul and Poirier brokered the deal, though the chain has not arrived to Poirier yet.
Roveta said the plan is to auction off the chain for charity. Poirier is one of the most active fighters on the UFC roster with regard to philanthropy. His Good Fight Foundation helps youth in his home state of Louisiana.
In December, Paul offered McGregor $50 million to fight him in boxing. Paul joked Tuesday at the news conference that his offer is now just $23, because McGregor has lost two straight to Poirier.
Paul said the gold chain "manifested what happened" to McGregor at UFC 264 and the Irish fighter was "sent out on a stretcher like a b—-."
"He's just lost it," Paul said. "He's an actor now. I think it's all an act. And Dustin Poirier was the one to expose that."

Inspirational poems that remind us that life holds many good things, even when there are times we do not like. Be inspired by these inspirational poems. Have faith and pray!
Are the winds of your life contrary, disturbing your comfort zone?
Are they boisterous, hard, forbearing; do you feel you're traveling alone?
He knows the path you must travel, even the hardship that life brings.
With a world of indifference to curb you, there's always a hope and a dream.
The worries, the burdens, the heartaches, the longings the world hasn't seen.
Be patient and wait on His timing, in time He'll remove all your strife.
Of being in total submission - your heart, your mind and your soul.
But sometimes the process of learning seems an eternal long test.
Give heed to His gentle persuasion, just watch as new miracles start.
Be patient, observe, and take notice, He's faithful; of this there's no doubt.
Calamities cannot escape His grace.
The elements of nature that displace.
Valiance far more fierce than e're before.
The sins of man increasing more and more.
The chaos of the world is out of hand.
The merciless destruction of the land.
His Book records the deeds of all mankind.
Yet we continue acting as if we're blind.
He masquerades as if he were a friend.
Then Satan cannot claim God's very own.
But be assured, you never walk alone.
The sense of failure seem to temp you sore.
Will be there as they always were before.
We may just be a cog within the wheel.
That may have influence on the way they feel.
That men would walk by faith and not by sight.
As it's my favourite time.
The mountains I love to climb.
To all seasons with great cheer.
That spring and summer find.
To give thanks to God in prayer.
Make the most out of all you can.
Life's too short to be a season fan.
Life's days can bring you both smiles and frowns.
Take life's simple pleasures let them set your heart free.
As you are met and faced with Life's Tug of War.
"Nothing tends more to cement the hearts of Christians than praying together. Never do they love one another so well as when they witness the outpouring of each other's hearts in prayer."
"God shapes the world by prayer. The more praying there is in the world the better the world will be, the mightier the forces against evil."
Just knowing this, nor knowing more.
My days and ways, so I am free.
And what my future is I would not know.
One step ahead - why should I anxious be?
He knows the way that is best for me.
He reads my heart and what I need He'll give.
How safe my life if in His will I love.
Than grace today to help me in my task.
If in His love I trust, this little while.
That patters against the window pane.
A ball of fire in the glowing west.
We are led each step by His guiding hand.
Can you leave your nets to go, when you're called to serve?
Would you let the Lord direct your way?
Are you willing to respond if the summons comes?
Could you change the things you do each day?
It's not easy when you're called, it is certain there'll be stress.
Wouldn't it be simpler to say "No"?
Couldn't someone else be told to go?
Isn't God content to let you be?
Is there not another road, someone else to take the load?
Is there any reason why it should be me?
In a personal response, "Must I always be the one?
Is there not a soul more qualified for this?"
I can do without this so called, "added bliss."
I would rather You would make another choice.
and I'll always try to listen to Your voice.
Could You call another day? Give me time to think and pray?
As I ponder what all this could mean to me.
For man's purpose is to glorify God's name.
No amount of earthly gold can bring you fame.
For it all will turn to dust if you never learn to trust.
When your time on earth is done, where will you be?
But the offer only lasts while you're on earth.
Nothing you present will have eternal worth.
Let His Word direct the path you need to take.
It's the best decision you will ever make.
