History and Social Studies are Global Competencies
An understanding of global events and conditions is incomplete—even impossible—without the perspective of history and social studies. History strives to answer questions about what happened, and social studies strives to answer questions about why things happen. Awareness of these forces informs students' ideas about how to respond and act in the face of events and circumstances around the world.
By looking at the influences of history and social studies on their immediate environment, students begin to extrapolate about the factors that create living conditions, social movements, economies, conflict, alliance, and cultural and political institutions. Looking at these influences on their own lives prompts students to ask questions, synthesize knowledge and information, and apply ideas and hypotheses to explain the world. They can then learn to apply these same skills and behaviors to their view of historical and social influences affecting other parts of the world. Inquiries like these inform greater understanding of issues such as world poverty, economic policy, resource distribution, and international initiatives around trade, environment, and human rights.
The study of history and social science has always contained a component of citizenship education. Learning how to participate in social and political institutions, make good decisions on issues beyond one's own personal interest, and contribute productively to the economy and to society in general are all founded on a recognition that the individual is accountable for the events that become history and for society's initiatives. A global approach to history/social studies enables students to recognize how their local actions touch and influence others half a world away. Having achieved this realization, students can then imagine ways to address local and global challenges for the benefit of all.
The pace of change in the world is accelerating, and the problems of the world are increasingly big and complex. The capacity to respond requires commitment, rational optimism, inventiveness, and the willingness to act. Examples of these characteristics abound in history, across boundaries and cultures. These examples were influenced by the societies, traditions, and institutions from which they arose. Through a comprehensive study of global history and cultures, students learn by these examples that history can be forged through individual and collective action.

Tadd Fujikawa has come out as gay on Instagram.
He hopes his post will "inspire" others to be loving and empathetic, as he remembers how other stories helped him in his "darkest times to have hope."
Fujikawa is the first openly gay male professional golfer his sport has ever seen.
Tadd Fujikawa has come out on Instagram and is reportedly now the first openly gay professional athlete that men's golf has ever seen.
Fujikawa first found sporting fame aged 15, when he became the youngest golfer to qualify for the 2006 US Open — one of the four main major tournaments in the game. He has six tour wins in his career so far, and is currently on the PGA Tour Canada.
Fujikawa published a passionate post on September 10, Suicide Prevention Day. "So … I'm gay," he said. "My hope is this post will inspire each and every one of you to be more empathetic and loving towards one another."
Fujikawa added: "I've been back and forth for a while about opening up about my sexuality. I thought that I didn't need to come out because it doesn't matter if anyone knows. But I remember how much other's stories have helped me in my darkest times to have hope. I spent way too long pretending, hiding, and hating who I was. I was always afraid of what others would think/say.
"I've struggled with my mental health for many years because of that and it put me in a really bad place. Now I'm standing up for myself and the rest of the LGBTQ community in hopes of being an inspiration and making a difference in someone's life.
"Although it's a lot more accepted in our society today, we still see children, teens, and adults being ridiculed and discriminated against for being the way we are. Some have even taken their lives because of it. As long as those things are still happening, I will continue to do my best to bring more awareness to this issue and to fight for equality."

Four Shabaab fighters killed as KDF foil attempted terror attack in Lamu
By Maureen Murimi For Citizen Digital Published on: June 29, 2016 06:15 (EAT)
The Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) troops on Wednesday foiled an attempted terror attack in Milimani area near Baure in Lamu County.
The troops, under the Operation Linda Boni, are reported to have repulsed Al Shabaab terrorists and had been in hot pursuit of the terrorists after they conducted a probing attack on a KDF camp in Mangai, Lamu on Tuesday evening.
In a statement to the media, Colonel D.O. Obonyo confirmed that four Al Shabaab militants were killed and one KDF soldier injured during the incident.
The KDF troops also recovered a Rocket Propelled Grenade, two hand grenades, four AK47 rifles and one unexploded Improvised Explosive Device (IED).
"The Kenya Defence Forces wishes to to assure the public that operations against the Al Shabaab will continue, until all the terrorists are eliminated to ensure that the locals continue to enjoy peace and security," read the statement.


So when the National Restaurant Association Education Foundation asked me to be part of a CEO panel to discuss career trajectories at the recent Armed Forces Culinary Forum, I was excited. It was a chance to share some of the lessons learned from 30-plus years in the workforce with the military's brightest foodservice stars.
What I didn't expect was that I would be considered a sort of Shark Tank judge.
Every entrepreneur needs energy and optimism. I just want to make sure this generation understands that there is another – I would argue more important – component to success.
Those of us on stage – Jack Kleckner from EcoLab, Shayne Varnum of HobartService, Jay Stieber, Chairman of the National Restaurant Association and RozMallet of PhaseNext Hospitality – have decades and decades of collective experience.
It's safe to say that none of us were weaned on dreams of reality TV competitions of going viral. We came up through the ranks before all that.
Don't get me wrong. The enthusiasm before us was terrific. Every entrepreneur needs that kind of energy and optimism. I just want to make sure this generation understands that there is another – I would argue more important – component to success: substance.
Gather a panel of CEOs from almost any other industry and they will say the same thing. Substance is at the root of success.
This means that skill development is essential for anyone starting out or looking to transition.
The process does not have to be lengthy. I'm not suggesting that young talents wait it line just for the sake of developing patience. But learning curves need to be respected.
In my field, the journey can include culinary training, management courses and cultural bridging. For this military audience, the move to the private sector will take some time as they learn that hierarchy and order-taking look different in the commercial world.
There's a good chance that practical education will even inform those great ideas.
Take the time to hone your skills and learn your trade, I told the audience. It will lead to expertise, pride in one's work and, perhaps, the fruition of dreams.


Brendan Duddy was born in Derry on 10 June 1936. He became a businessman in his native city, and by the early 1970s he owned and managed two fish-and-chip shops, one in Beechwood Avenue (Creggan) and another in William Street.
His motivation for involvement in community affairs, and eventually in behind-the-scene politics, grew out of a deep interest in politics and debate ("I have been a political analyst all my life"), and out of an upbringing in a mixed community where Protestants marginally outnumbered Catholics, a fact he highlighted when making his statement for the Bloody Sunday Inquiry in 1999.
"Much of my early life was associated with the Protestant population, many of my friends and associates were, and still are, Protestants and I realised that there were two communities and that the only way forward was to bridge the divide between them. I have been pacifist, anti-war, and anti-violence all my life".
Duddy has been firmly committed to the peace process, believing that only dialogue would lead to a settlement. Knowing many active members of the civil rights movement, as well as Nationalist party politicians, he was however not directly involved with NICRA, and did as a rule not attend marches. By the mid-1960s, one of the two premises he owned (in Beechwood Avenue), attracted a broad cross-section of people interested in political debate who would gather there informally, until the setting-up of a barricade in about early 1971 made it difficult for some of those on the other side to come to the Creggan. While the meetings were open to anybody, there was no conscious dialogue going on with the Republicans (or Provisionals). Duddy knew Martin McGuinness in the 1960s when he worked for a supplier company delivering burgers to Duddy's shops - at a time when McGuinness's interest in politics was not yet kindled. Members of the police force also frequented the shop, and Duddy was friendly with Peter Gilgunn, one of two officers killed shortly before Bloody Sunday.
Brendan Duddy died 2017 after an illness for some time.

"What a reflex!" is a sentence that is often heard in professional soccer. Certainly, goalkeepers often don't have an easy time, what with all of the stimuli catching their eyes. But where do these reflexes come from? Is it a special characteristic that you either have or you don't have?
No, reaction speeds can be trained in the same way that muscles can. What doesn't help, is a player kicking a ball one thousand times at the goal from a distance of sixteen meters; that is not nearly enough to really train reaction speeds. The goalkeeper isn't surprised by these shots. You also don't train your muscles by just "using" them.
Let's use ice-hockey as an example. Everyone has seen how especially goalkeepers need to react very quickly when pucks come flying towards them at up to 170 km/h. How do goalies train their reaction speeds though?
Something that the goalkeeper is not expecting has to happen: something erratic, fast, and crazy. That's why ice-hockey coaches get creative: ice-hockey goalies train with the whole team. Fifteen people stand around the goal and each player has a stick and a puck.
The goalie never knows who is going to shoot next, or how fast the shots will be made in succession. Something like this hones reflexes and reaction speeds quickly and very effectively.
This concept can also be applied to soccer practice. What's important is that the individual drills include an element of surprise for the goalie.
1. Place some balls approximately five meters away from the goal. They should be lined up parallel to the goal line and there should be a lot of balls. Make a second row of balls about eleven meters from the goal.
The coach will kick these balls low at the goal. What happens? The balls that are close to the goalkeeper are hit and jump towards the goal in an uncontrolled manner. The goalie may not let any ball past - neither the bouncing balls nor the balls that were shot. That's his job.
2. Now the goalkeeper should stand on the goal line, facing the goal. The coach stands a few meters away from the goal, depending on the strength of the shot.
On the coach's signal, the goalkeeper quickly turns around and tries to stop the shot. This sequence can be quite difficult for the coach also, since timing the command to turn and kicking the ball can be tricky.
3. The coach stands and holds a ball between his outstretched arms. The goalkeeper stands in front of the coach, with knees bent and ready to react. The coach then lets the ball go. The goalkeeper should catch the ball before it hits the ground.
Still, you shouldn't expect miracles. For the most part, genetics are responsible for a person's reflexes. You can improve them through practice, but a goalkeeper should already have good reaction times to begin with.


Hi I'm quite new in SAGE, I'm trying to learn it to migrate from Matlab. The problem I'm having is with Matlab cell structures, I couldn't find any similar structure in SAGE. The Matlab cells allows me to gather data of different sizes and styles in a single structure (matrices of different sizes for example) which I find really useful since my measurement data tends to change in size, headers, etc. Any feedback will be appreciated.
A python list can handle heterogenous data.

Mt Baw Baw: Helping alpine dingoes thrive
Situated on the Victorian end of the Great Dividing Range at 1450m altitude, the Mt Baw Baw Alpine Resort offers an array of unique nature experiences for every season. But for animal lovers, the biggest drawcard might just be the Alpine Dingo Resource Centre, where visitors can get up close and personal with these rare Australian canines.
Protecting an Aussie native
Among a sea of snow gum trees in the Australian alps lies the Mt Baw Baw Alpine Dingo Resource Centre. For four years now, the team here has been dedicated to the education and conservation of one Aussie native: the alpine dingo (Canis lupus dingo).
The initiative is part of a state-wide effort to encourage the protection and preservation of this threatened species. "Current protection laws in Australia aren't exactly in their favour, so we're focussing on preserving them and educating people about the species," says Taylor Woods, Environmental Services Officer at Mt Baw Baw.
In addition to managing the resort's environmental needs, Taylor is in charge of looking after resident dingos Warragul, Rowdy and Bunji. "We've had Warragul, or 'Gully' as we call her, since she was a cub. She's a pure cream alpine dingo and an absolute sweetheart. She has an excellent character for working with schools and children."
Then there's Rowdy, who's part desert and part alpine dingo. And the latest addition to the pack is one-year-old Bunji. Like Warragul, he's a pure alpine dingo. He also happens to have a famous dad: alpine dingo Wandi, who was found In Wandiligong, near Bright as a cub, before DNA testing confirmed he was pure alpine dingo.
For Taylor, working with dingoes every day is more than just a job. "I've always had dogs. I don't think there was a time in my life when I didn't, so this sort of gave me that similar experience." Volunteering with the local RSPCA and wildlife sanctuaries in Canada also helped her prepare for the task.
"Although dingoes are different to dogs, there are a lot of similarities in terms of animal husbandry, which I could apply here. It helped me gain a bit of an understanding of how to approach working with dingoes when I first started."
The team also works closely with the Australian Dingo Foundation as well as the Dingo Discovery Sanctuary. "They have a wealth of knowledge and are always there to answer questions and give us feedback," says Taylor.
Circulating in high altitudes
Though dingoes are often associated with wild dogs and belong to the canine family, they're an entirely different species "The biggest challenge has been understanding the species itself and their behaviour," Taylor points out.
Broadly speaking, there are three ecotypes of dingoes in Australia: the desert dingo, the tropical dingo and the alpine dingo. All of them have different traits, which benefit them in their native habitat.
"As apex predators, dingoes play an important role in our ecosystem. They help manage the spread of so-called feral pest species that pose a threat to our natural flora and fauna."
Alpine dingoes, like the ones at Mt Baw Baw, not only have a thicker coat to survive sub-zero temperatures in high altitudes, but they also have increased circulation in their feet to keep their paws warm in the snow.
Maintaining a healthy balance
Dingoes are known to be opportunistic hunters, meaning they will go for any food source available at the time. "In their natural environment, they'd eat anything from fruits to grubs to lizards to grasses and even small to medium mammals." This makes them especially adaptable to environments with variable food sources.
As opposed to some domesticated dogs, dingoes haven't developed the ability to digest grains, which is why for those living in captivity, a grain-free diet is key. "We try to keep it as close to their natural diet as we can, which is why it's important we feed high-quality kibble like Black Hawk Grain Free," says Taylor. "This way, we can ensure they get all the nutrients they need."
On top of that, Warragul, Rowdy and Bunji enjoy snacking on fresh kangaroo mince or offal meat mixes, chicken necks, as well as eggs and sardines for healthy fats and a shiny coat.
"We try to get as much nutrition into their diet as we can while also stimulating their senses."
Other than that, their diet is comparatively low in fats, even throughout the colder winter months. "Their hunger does change between the green and snowy seasons. They definitely need more food to keep themselves warm in winter, but we're always watching their fat levels to ensure they maintain a healthy weight range."
Visitors to Mt Baw Baw can learn more about these four-legged natives in an intimate cuddle session or on a stroll along the resort's picturesque alpine trails.
"Their behaviour completely changes during summer and winter," Taylor explains. "They love the snow and get really giddy in snowy conditions, jumping around and digging. In the summer months, you can watch them hunt for lizards, chase flies and sniff around for wombat poo."
"People love being able to interact with them in their natural environment and it's been so valuable to the public's learning experience."
Eventually, the team at the Alpine Dingo Resource Centre hope to support research groups and the public to learn enough about the species to help governing bodies put more effective protection laws in place and secure the future of this Aussie native in its natural habitat.

Humans seem to be driven by an unquenchable urge to see more – to gaze farther into space; deeper into our own cells. Super-resolution fluorescence microscopy is at the forefront of this exploration of inner space, giving biologists some of the clearest views of the nanoscale mechanics of living organisms. Three pioneers of the technique – Eric Betzig, Stefan Hell and W E Moerner – won this year's Nobel prize in chemistry for their work.
The award makes a neat pair with the physics Nobel, awarded the day before for the invention of blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs) – and not just because they both harness light. Neither of these breakthroughs would have been possible without interdisciplinary collaboration, nor would they have had nearly as much impact without significant input from commercial R&D labs. And above all, both technologies are founded on a solid bedrock of chemistry.
Conventional microscopes cannot resolve structures smaller than about half the wavelength of visible light (around 200nm), so the organelles within a cell, for example, inevitably look like fuzzy blobs. For cell biologists studying the processes of life, this is like trying to read braille while wearing boxing gloves.
Hell's invention – stimulated emission depletion (Sted) microscopy – has helped biologists to take the gloves off. It uses carefully coordinated laser beams to illuminate fluorescent dye molecules within a tiny aperture, revealing cellular structures roughly 20nm across.
Hell published his first theoretical paper on Sted in 1994, and demonstrated a working microscope in 2000. After a breakneck development timeline, Leica Microsystems unveiled the first commercial Sted system just seven years later.
It is significant that Hell's PhD involved working at a start-up company, Heidelberg Instruments, which eventually became part of Leica. This helped him to build a long-term relationship with the company, a collaboration that was essential to bring Sted microscopes into biology labs. For some academics, fostering those sorts of links can feel like a chore imposed by their university's technology transfer office. But for Hell, it was a crucial part of realising his vision.
The other two chemistry prizewinners also have roots in industry: Moerner was working at IBM when he showed that fluorescence imaging could pick out single molecules, while Betzig started grappling with super-resolution microscopy at Bell Laboratories. Eventually, they independently developed similar forms of single-molecule microscopy, which takes multiple snapshots of a rainbow palette of different fluorescent probes dispersed through a sample.
His supplications paid off. After working with chemists, biochemists, cell biologists and others, Betzig demonstrated the power of his technique in 2006 by imaging the membrane around the lysosome, a bag of enzymes found in most cells. Its structure can be seen in pin-sharp detail, like the sharp outline of an island coastline at night, twinkling with thousands of points of light.
Again, the story mirrors Hell's. Working at the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry, Germany, Hell also needed a multidisciplinary team of chemists and molecular biologists to develop the fluorescent probes that Sted relies on, as well as biologists to demonstrate the technique's utility.
There's a similar history of chemistry, collaboration and commerce behind blue LEDs. Through the 1960s, researchers at Philips, Bell Labs and others were busily tweaking the dopants used with gallium phosphide semiconductors to fine-tune the colours of light they emitted, from red to green.
Blue, though, required something with a bigger bandgap – and the three physics laureates were convinced that gallium nitride would do the job, even after most other researchers had given up on it because of difficulties growing crystals of sufficient size and purity. But improved crystal-growing techniques ultimately enabled gallium nitride and other junction materials to come together into an efficient blue LED. Blending chemistry with physics and electrical engineering was key to that success, while industrial partnerships, focused by a clear application goal, helped spur it to market.
Some might wonder if the physics and chemistry prizes got mixed up this year; others may grumble that after years of giving the chemistry prize to biologists, physicists are also muscling in on the act. But as the prizes show, blurring the boundaries of science brings us greater insight and clarity. Chemistry's role as a key enabler in this process is a cause for celebration – I'd say that chemistry just got two Nobels for the price of one.

Robin H. Lemaire, Keith G. Provan, Liesbeth Mercken, Scott J. Leischow
The research reported here is an analysis of the evolution of the relationships that comprise a single public health network, focusing especially on the position of the network administrative organization (Provan and Kenis 2008) in the flow of knowledge among a large number of organizations providing similar services. Our study examines the North American Quitline Consortium (NAQC), a multi-sector network that spans the US and Canada and whose members provide telephone-based tobacco cessation services to anyone interested in quitting smoking. Data were collected using web-based surveys at three different points of time. Implications are discussed for network organizing, for both theory and practice, focusing especially on the importance of the network administrative organization in shaping the evolution of the whole network information flow.

AB - The research reported here is an analysis of the evolution of the relationships that comprise a single public health network, focusing especially on the position of the network administrative organization (Provan and Kenis 2008) in the flow of knowledge among a large number of organizations providing similar services. Our study examines the North American Quitline Consortium (NAQC), a multi-sector network that spans the US and Canada and whose members provide telephone-based tobacco cessation services to anyone interested in quitting smoking. Data were collected using web-based surveys at three different points of time. Implications are discussed for network organizing, for both theory and practice, focusing especially on the importance of the network administrative organization in shaping the evolution of the whole network information flow.

With Dwight, Hermes, Cubert, and the Professor.
He is known to have worked for an ad agency, as he appeared in a commercial for Planet Express (1ACV02). However, it is unlikely that he met anyone at the company directly, as he doesn't seem to recognize Hermes Conrad or Professor Farnsworth before, during, or after beating them to a pulp, an act caused by a lot of stress down at the plant he was working in, which introduced computers in 3002 (3ACV12). He has also worked as a stockbroker (3ACV21). Later, the bad influence of Bender to his son made him become one of the FART (4ACV06). Additionally, H. G. Blob seems to be on the Earthican $20 Bill (BBS).
In 3010, Horrible Gelatinous Blob fried a hobo during the Heating of the Western Hemisphere (6ACV08), and attended the 100th Delivery Party, being the first guest to have entered the Planet Express headquarters (6ACV12).
H.G. Blob is featured on one of the discs of The Complete Collection 1999-2009.
His name was spelt Mr. H.G. Blob in the package the man who is not Evans gave him (1ACV02). These initials may be a reference to science fiction author H. G. Wells.
His voice is very similar to the voices of Lrrr, ruler of the planet Omicron Persei 8, and Morbo, co-host on Channel √2 News. All three characters are voiced by Maurice LaMarche, who has stated that they actually sound pretty different.
In The Beast with a Billion Backs, he describes Yivo as being "horrible". This is ironic, as he is a horrible creature himself and his first name is also "horrible".
A poster for "Space Mutants 5" featuring an image of a Horrible Gelatinous Blob appears in the dorm room of the nerds Homer Simpson meets in Season 5 Episode 3 of The Simpsons, "Homer Goes To College".

For once I actually thought this was a great suit and fit appropriately in all areas if you have slight larger breasts this suit will fit awesomely. Mine had room up top because my breast size is not adequate for my body size. I received many compliments wearing it. I will note, even when says chlorine resistant. I wore it 3x week for water exercise classes at the Y and after about 5 months it faded in back end booty area from seamward out soo.... I have found all suits that claim that here did the same. Should last you the season though... hope that was helpful.
Hey thanks Dawn! I am big on top but not huge. I'm thinking of taking a chance.
Love this suit. Really true to size. Hard to answer that question, but of course suits are supposed to be tight.
It may be a bit snug but not right. I bought a size down and find this to be the case.
The sizing is quite good on these suits. I suspect it would be too tight.
I'm a 14 and I bought a 16 and it fits fine. I suggest sizing up.

Sebastien Rojon, and his dissertation 'Immigration and extreme-right voting in France: a contextual analysis of the 2012 presidential elections' has won the Dr Nicola Knight Prize in Quantitative Methods for best MSc dissertation in 2013.
In memory of Dr Nicola Knight, the School of Anthropology and Museum Ethnography awards the prize for the best use of quantitative methods in an anthropological dissertation.
Sebastien's dissertation addresses the rise of extreme right voting in contemporary France. The dissertation has a rich theoretical framework based on realistic conflict theory and contact theory, which is enhanced by a wide range of contextual information to illustrate the theoretical points made. Sebastien suggests that these two major theories might not be as mutually exclusive as they seem, because they operate at different geographical levels; he develops eight hypotheses on factors related to far right electoral support in France and tests these at different geographical scales using a multilevel regression model.
The dissertation was also awarded a distinction and has been published as a joint IMI-COMPAS working paper available to download.
Being an interdisciplinary subject, migration can provide a lens into many other areas of interest, for example an investigation into the relationship between immigration and the level of support for the extreme-right can turn into a discussion of the different reasons why people vote for the extreme-right.
The course not only gave us the freedom to explore other subjects, but it also equipped us with the necessary skills. When I started the programme I had no previous experience with statistics, but after having been properly introduced to social surveys, I was inspired to employ quantitative methods for my dissertation. At several points I found myself struggling with the software, but the advantage of being tied to the International Migration Institute and the Centre on Migration Policy and Society is that there are many academics more than willing to help you.
The most valuable lesson I learned from the course was to be critical: we should be critical of policies which assume that migration leads to development, we should critical of political claims that immigrants have a significant negative impact on the economy, and we should be critical of those who exaggerate the scale of migration when only 2-3 percent of the world's population are migrants.

Q: Creating a dictionary without duplicates I am trying to create a dictionary from a CSV that has no duplicates. The CSV file contains: sample names (s1, s2, etc.) gene names, impact of sample 1 mutation, impact of sample 2 mutation. Here is an example of two lines of the CSV file:
s1, s2, gene1, MODERATE, HIGH
s3, s4, gene2, HIGH, MODERATE

My goal is to obtain a summary of how many samples have a specific gene mutated, and then whether the mutation is HIGH impact or not.
As an example:
gene12  7   ['s1', 's3', 's4', 's10 [HIGH]', 's17', 's19', 's24 [HIGH]']
gene20  2   ['s10 [HIGH]', 's21']

Currently my code looks as follows:
import os
import sys

path = ("path/to/csv")
open_csv = open(path+"csvfile", "r")
read_csv = open_csv.read().splitlines()
gene_dict = {}
for line in read_csv:
    split_lines = line.split(", ")
    gene = split_lines[2]
    sample1 = split_lines[0]
    sample2 = split_lines[1]
    impact1 = split_lines[3]
    impact2 = split_lines[4]
    for i in range(0, len(read_csv):
        if gene in gene_dict:
            if impact1 == "HIGH":
                gene_dict[gene].append(sample1+" [HIGH]")
            if impact2 == "HIGH":
                gene_dict[gene].append(sample2+" [HIGH]")
            else:
                gene_dict[gene].append(sample1)
                gene_dict[gene].append(sample2)
        else:
            gene_dict[gene] = [sample1]

final_dict = {a:list(set(b)) for a, b in gene_dict.items()}

for key, value in final_dict.items():
    genename = key
    num_samples = len([item for item in value if item])
    samples = value
    print(genename,num_samples,samples)

My script works except that I am getting duplicated samples. What I mean is that if a sample has a HIGH impact mutation in a gene, the final summary will list the sample twice. Below is an example of what I mean:
gene12  8   ['s1', 's3', 's4', 's10 [HIGH]', 's17', 's19', 's24', 's24 [HIGH]']
gene20  3   ['s10', 's10 [HIGH]', 's21']

It is probably the way that I'm creating the dictionary which is causing the duplication, but I can't figure it out. You'll see that for gene12, s24 is listed twice, throwing off the counts. This also happens for gene20 with s10. The samples are listed twice, once correctly as having a HIGH impact mutation and again as not having a HIGH impact mutation. However, s24 only has a HIGH impact mutation in gene12 and s10 only has a HIGH impact mutation in gene20. I hope this made sense. I can clarify if needed. Thanks in advance for any and all help!

A: Looks like your inner loop for i in range(0, len(read_csv): is duplicating and adding useless hits. Also the if/if/else structure and adding the [HIGH] mark look broken.
Corrected version:
import os
import sys

path = ("path/to/csv")
open_csv = open(path+"csvfile", "r")
read_csv = open_csv.read().splitlines()
gene_dict = {}
for line in read_csv:
    split_lines = line.split(", ")
    gene = split_lines[2]
    sample1 = split_lines[0]
    sample2 = split_lines[1]
    impact1 = split_lines[3]
    impact2 = split_lines[4]
    if impact1 == "HIGH":
        sample1 = sample1 + " [HIGH]"
    if impact2 == "HIGH":
        sample2 = sample2 + " [HIGH]"

    if gene in gene_dict:
        gene_dict[gene].append(sample1)
        gene_dict[gene].append(sample2)
    else:
        gene_dict[gene] = [sample1, sample2]

final_dict = {a:list(set(b)) for a, b in gene_dict.items()}

for key, value in final_dict.items():
    genename = key
    num_samples = len([item for item in value if item])
    samples = value
    print(genename,num_samples,samples)

This looks consistent for the few examples I tried.

A: I would create a class like this :
class Sample:
    def __init__(self, name, level="low",):
        self.level = level
        self.name = name

    def __eq__(self, equal):
        if equal.name == self.name:
            return True
        return False

Something like that (could not test it) :
import os
import sys

path = ("path/to/csv")
open_csv = open(path+"csvfile", "r")
read_csv = open_csv.read().splitlines()
gene_dict = {}
for line in read_csv:
    split_lines = line.split(", ")
    gene = split_lines[2]
    sample1 = Sample(split_lines[0])
    sample2 = Sample(split_lines[1])
    impact1 = split_lines[3]
    impact2 = split_lines[4]
    for i in range(0, len(read_csv):
        if gene in gene_dict:
            if not sample1 in gene_dict[gene]:
                if impact1 == "HIGH":
                    sample1.level = impact1
                    gene_dict[gene].append(sample1)

                else:
                    gene_dict[gene].append(sample1)

            if not sample2 in gene_dict[gene]:
                if impact2 == "HIGH":
                    sample2.level = impact2
                    gene_dict[gene].append(sample2)
                else:
                    gene_dict[gene].append(sample2)
        else:
            gene_dict[gene] = [sample1]

Swimming World introduces the first of a three-part series on dryland training for developing swimmers. It is designed to address the fundamental questions posed by parents and swimmers about when to start and what to expect once the process is begun.
Breaststroke times have gotten faster as athletes find ways to make the slowest stroke more efficient. The breaststroke kick is the latest segment to undergo an adjustment, as swimmers are leaning toward a more narrow kick. Although some power in the kick is lost, the reduced drag creates a smoother stroke and better speed consistency and maintenance.
Swimming World contributor Pamela Roberts from Germany claims that the 2013 Duel in the Pool between the United States and the European All-Stars was a classic! And she should know: she was there!
In honor of her coach and close friend who died from cancer, swimmer Alli DeFrancesco—herself a cancer victim who became cancer-free after surgery and chemotherapy—successfully crossed the English Channel in her memory.
A transition point is a stage in your swimming career where your level of achievement is determined by the decisions and choices you make in your training every day.

The meaning of fiber optic color standard
by Lorena Moscalu | Aug 11, 2017 | Latest News
Source: BEYONDTECH
Yellow, aqua, or orange? The meaning of fiber optic color standard
Fiber optic colors standards are crucial to anyone who works manipulating thousands of cables at day or doing a major installation.
The following definition of "standard" can be found in the ISO/IEC Guide 2:1996, definition 3.2:
'A document established by consensus and approved by a recognized body that provides for common and repeated use, rules, guidelines or characteristics for activities or their results, aimed at the achievement of the optimum degree of order in a given context'.
In the realm of fiber optics and fiber optic cables, standards are what allow us to create uniform product specifications that make possible the confirmation of interoperability between different products from different manufacturers.
According to the Fiber Optics Association (FOA), these standards operate on two levels:
1.- Component level, covering specifications for cables and connectors, how to connect with other cables and the complete testing procedures.
2.- System level, cover protocols, signal bit rates, encoding of data, frequencies and amplitudes, packet length, timing, error correction and factors needed to ensure systems can talk to each other.
The TIA Technical Committee TR-42 (in the USA) and ISO JTC 1 (international) are the committees in charge of issuing standard reports for fiber optics and premises cabling.
Having as an end goal the production of a predictable minimum performance level in terms of cabling that other manufacturers can use as a guideline when designing and developing communications products.
Standards of: Single Mode Optical Fiber
Single mode optical fiber usually has an 8.3-micron diameter core and makes use of laser technology and light to send and receive data. A micron is a unit of measure equal to 1 millionth of a meter. So you can picture it: one strand of human hair has a diameter of more or less 100 microns.
Single mode fibers have the ability to carry information for miles without losing too many data which makes it ideal for companies that offer services such as cable and telephone providers.
Transmission distance is affected by chromatic dispersion because the core of single-mode fibers is much smaller than that of multimode fibers.
And it is also the reason why single-mode fiber can have longer transmission distance than multimode fiber.
High powered lasers operating within single mode optical fibers lend it its efficiency since they can readily transmit data at far greater distances the light used in their multimode counterparts.
If you need to handle large amounts of data with the least dispersion, single mode fiber might be your best choice. Just take into consideration that these fibers are noticeably more expensive than multimode ones since the technology used is a bit more sophisticated.
The following are the standards for single mode optic fiber as given by several international committees:
Standards for: Multi-mode Optical Fiber
Multimode optical fiber, as its very name indicates, allows the signal to travel through different pathways or modes that are placed inside of the cable's core.
For these types of fibers, the transmission distance is largely affected by modal dispersion.
Due to the fact that the fibers in multimode cables have imperfections, the optical signals are not able to arrive at the same time causing a delay between the fastest traveling modes and the slowest ones, which in turn causes the dispersion and limits multimode fiber performance.
This type of fiber uses inexpensive LED (light emitting diode) light sources to transmit data.
The signal travels through a LED-based optical transmitter called a media converter, then down the glass in the fiber and bounces from wall to wall within the cable until it reaches its final destination at a rate of 10 or 100 Mb/sec but all that bouncing brings modal dispersion to the mix, diminishing the amount of data transmitted over a specific distance.
The demand for more data and faster reception of it has increased over the years making LED cables seem terribly slow and limited. This caused the creation of cables that use lasers to transmit data along with light, giving the world single mode optic fibers.
Multimode fibers can be found in 4 different presentations identified with the acronym OM which stands for optical multi-mode and varies according to performance criteria determined by ISO/IEC 11801 standards.
These presentations are OM1, OM2, OM3, and OM4.
The standards for multimode cables are as follows:
Fiber Optics Color Standards
Fiber optic cables are available in a wide range that varies according to use, length, diameter, etc.
Giving each one a specific color allows better and faster recognition of the cable in use and avoids issues due to bad connections or confusions.
Cable jacket colors make it faster and simpler to pinpoint which type of cable you are dealing with. Yellow, for instance, can identify a single mode cable (which it does), while orange identifies multimode cables and so on.
Here's a guide to identify cables according to their jacket colors:
Inside each cable or in the inside of each tube in a loose tube cable, individual fibers will also be color coded for easy identification.
Fibers follow the convention created for telephone wires except fibers are identified individually, not in pairs.
For splicing, like color fibers are spliced to ensure continuity of color codes throughout a cable run.
For cables that have over 12 strands, the color code runs from 1 through 12 then repeats itself, identifying each 12-strand group in some other unique way such as adding a stripe to the second group (if it is a 24-strand cable) or some other specific mark to identify the new group
Each fiber number has a color assigned to it:
As for connectors:
They are also color coded for easy use and identification.
In the early day, it was simple: orange, black or gray was used to identify multimode cables while yellow was used for single-mode ones.
Currently, there is a wide array of cables to choose from, making it necessary to expand the color horizon.

Q: Compute/dominate $\int_s^t \gamma(\tau) d\tau$ for large $t$ Let the dispersion map $\gamma$ is 1-periodic,  i.e.  $\gamma(t+1)=\gamma (t)$ and piecewise constant:
\begin{eqnarray}
\gamma(t)=
\begin{cases} \gamma_+ \quad  0<t\leq t_+\\
-\gamma_ {- } \quad  t_+ <t \leq 1
\end{cases}
\end{eqnarray}
where $\gamma_{\pm}$ are some positive  constants and $t_+ \in (0,1).$ We  denote by
$$\Gamma (t,s)=\int_s^t \gamma(\tau) d\tau $$

Question:
Can we show that
$|\Gamma (t, t_0)| \geq C |t|$ for $t \geq t_0$  is sufficiently large?

Motivation: This function appeared in dispersion managed nonlinear Schrodinger equation.

A: I should have also said, what the relative sizes of ... and how large $t_+$ is. We need more detail. E.g. Let $t_+=1/2$ and $\gamma_+=1=\gamma_-$. Then $\Gamma(x,0)=x$, for $0\le x\le1/2$: $\Gamma(x,0)=1/2-(x-1/2)=1-x$ for $1/2\le x\le1$, with $\Gamma(1,0)=1=\Gamma(0,0)$. It is clear that $\Gamma(n,0)=0$ for integer $n$ yet $\Gamma(n+1/2,0)=1/2$ for integer $n$. In short, the integral oscillates and no satisfactory asymptotic can be found.
But if $t_+=0.9$, $\gamma_+=10=\gamma_-$, $\Gamma(0,0)=0,\Gamma(1,0)=8;\Gamma(2,0)=16,...\Gamma(n,0)=8n$ which has a completely different asymptotic behaviour.
These two quick identities are important.

$$\begin{align}\tag{1}\Gamma(x,0)&=\Gamma(\lfloor x\rfloor,0)+\Gamma(\{x\},0)\\\tag{2}\Gamma(n,0)&=n\cdot\Gamma(1,0),&n\in\Bbb N\end{align}$$

The key value is $\lambda=\Gamma(1,0)$.
If this is zero, then that means $t_+\gamma_+=(1-t_+)\gamma_-$ and $\Gamma(x,0)=\Gamma(\lfloor x\rfloor,0)+\Gamma(\{x\},0)=\Gamma(\{x\},0)$, which periodically increases on $0\le\{x\}\le t_+$ and then decreases to zero on $t_+\le\{x\}\le1$.
If $\Gamma(1,0)>0$, then that means $t_+\gamma_+>(1-t_+)\gamma_-$. Using $(1)$ and $(2)$ together, $\Gamma(x,0)=\lambda\cdot\lfloor x\rfloor+\Gamma(\{x\},0)$. The latter term is periodically increasing, and then decreasing to some positive value ($\lambda$) whereas the former term increases with $\lfloor x\rfloor$. Then: $$\Gamma(x,0)\sim\lambda x$$As an asymptotic relation which is very quickly accurate. If you want a bound, $|\Gamma(x,0)|=\Gamma(x,0)\ge\lambda\lfloor x\rfloor$ follows.
If $\lambda<0$ then $t_+\gamma_+<(1-t_+)\gamma_-$. You get the same behaviour as above, with the same proof, except $\Gamma(\{x\},0)$ periodically decreases below zero and $\Gamma(x,0)$ decreases with $\lfloor x\rfloor$.
Be warned that the periodic $\Gamma(\{x\},0)$ term might spike to be much larger / lower than $\lambda$. You'd need explicit bounds on $\gamma_{+/-}$ to say any more.

Saudi mega-city Neom has its first officially endorsed sporting events with the IWWF Neom Wakeboard event and a FIFA-endorsed beach football tournament, Neom announced on Monday.
Athletes from 16 nations took part in the wakeboarding event, which took place on the beaches of Gayal in Neom.
Additionally, the four-day Beach Soccer Cup tournament included teams from Saudi Arabia, Oman, the UAE, Egypt, China and England. Oman won the tournament after edging out Egypt 5-4 in extra time.
Other events included exhibition beach rugby matches featuring players from Saudi Arabia and an all-female set of match officials, as well as an invitation-only beach tennis event, which included male and female players from around the region.
"As we build the land of the future, we see sports as an integral part of the Neom offering, leveraging our unique pristine land to host international sporting events both for professional and everyday athletes, as well as those who choose to visit and live in Neom," said CEO Nadhmi Al-Nasr.
"Sport plays a leading role in the realisation of our dream to inspire us all to live healthier lifestyles," Al-Nasr added.
Jason Harborow, head of Neom's future of sport sector, said it was a "great testimony to the spirit" of the project to host the events as an early stage of the development.
"As we evolve, beach sports will be an important part of our offering and major events will be high on the agenda," he said.
In April, Neom's potential for outdoor sports was starkly highlighted by a wing suit and climbing challenge which was broadcast to more than 300 million people in 105 countries.

What started as a sharing of a photo and thought each day of Lent has devolved into the occasional post. Today's word is "Thanks".
This year I had the honor to participate in my third graveside service for a Veteran. This was for a long time and beloved member of our congregation. The ceremony in which representatives of our nation's armed services express the thankfulness of a nation is very moving.
Almost three years ago one of our favorite hiking spots was devastated by fire. Today we went on a hike there and, thanks to recent rains, were treated to some beautiful scenery. I didn't take any photos of all the wild flowers in bloom. But I found a perfect illustration of the theme of "restore". There are some trees common there (unfortunately I don't know what they are) and they burned in the fire. Black scarred trunks and branches adorn the landscape. But if you look a bit closer you can see the outer burned layer peeling away and new life beginning to show. This tree is farther along in its restoration than most of the others. Death and resurrection…in a tree…as we approach Holy Week.
As my word of the day for Lent has become a word every few days I have the ability to choose the words… Today's word then is "remembrance".
In the church calendar, November 1st is All Saints Day. At Our Redeemer we observe this day on the first Sunday of November. I know that many congregations light candles in remembrance of those members who died in the previous year. We do this too and it is always very moving for me as I say the name while lighting a candle. We also invite members of the congregation to share photos and light candles in remembrance of their loved ones. I've placed sand-filled trays in the shape of the cross as a reminder that we have the promise of new life through Jesus. It is always beautiful to see when all the candles are lit.
When I think of the word, faithful, my first thought is influenced by the fact that I'm a pastor. For today though, I'm thinking of my pets. We were having a discussion at the church this morning about how our dogs (and cats and other animals) are part of our families. I then came home to the generous welcome of my three little dogs. It's amazing that I can be gone for 10 minutes or 10 hours and they are always so happy to see me. Maybe we can learn from them about faithfulness.
This winter we are reminded of the awesome power of the ocean. The big waves are both beautiful and dangerous…like much of the power we encounter in nature. Some palm trees were no match for the waves earlier this winter. Lots of work has been done since to save the rest of the trees, and the shore.
The thing about disciplines is that they require discipline! I am attempting a Lenten discipline of posting a photo to illustrate a word each day while also adding some thoughts. My last post was March 1, so I need to work on that discipline. Today's word is Spirit.
This morning I received a text message from a former church member and current friend. She is a former member because she now lives too far away to actually attend worship. This morning's text led to a wonderful discussion about grace. Then later, as I thought about it, I realized I'm so thankful for the technology that allows me to be in meaningful contact with some who's so far away. Of course face to face is good, but I've found that technology has allowed the fostering and growth of many different relationships. So today I show a photo of my phone as I express my thanks for the Holy Spirit working in our world in so many different ways.

Q: CSS clip - rect(auto) vs inset(0) I was previously using CSS clip like this..
clip: rect(auto, auto, auto, auto)

I am trying to move over to clip-path and have this..
-webkit-clip-path: inset(0 0 0 0);
clip-path: inset(0 0 0 0);

This is not behaving the same way as clip did, reading through the docs it looks like using auto in clip is like not applying any clipping.
Is the clip-path inset doing to opposite in this instance, how can I make them the same?
My original  behaves like this..

html,
body {
 height: 100%;
 margin: 0;
}

.section {
  height:100vh;
}

.blue {
background:blue;
}

.menu_holder,
.footer {
 position: absolute;
 width: 100%;
 height: 100%;
 clip: rect(auto, auto, auto, auto);

}

.menu {

The following image illustrates how the L. A. Miller diaries traveled from Darrtown to Colorado and back to Darrtown.
A more detailed explanation of the discovery and recovery of the Miller diaries appears below the image.
Hello! I am a school teacher in Colorado and two years ago I purchased a set of yearly diaries in an antique auction. The diaries start in 1910 and go through 1936. I have used them in teaching diary writing; but, after seeing your website and learning about your town's history I believe you would be interested in them.
They are diaries of L.A. Miller and contain a day to day journal of the high and low temperatures, what he did that day, and what was happening in the world. As a history major in college, I am fascinated with this wonderful account of Darrtown and the world through this man's eyes.
I don't know why these left his family and managed to be sold at an auction, but I know that, if I were a family member, I wouldn't let them out of the family. I paid about $85 for the set and somewhere I have the receipt.
From what I have learned, Mr. Miller was involved with the telephone company and maybe gave it to his son. In your newspaper page, I checked and it said that Mr. Miller visited a friend in another town and after looking up the date in the diary, he mentioned the visit.
Are there any surviving family members that would want these diaries?
I appreciate the info that you provided and understand that your knowledge of the diaries is limited to what you wrote above.
However, the really intriguing question for me is: how did the L. A. Miller diaries get from Darrtown, Ohio to Colorado?
If you can provide any insight to that question...GREAT!
If not, then I will stop pestering you with inquiries.
Thank you for your time and information [past – and future, if you have any more to add].
Thanks, I just wanted to be sure that this was not some scam or you had another ulterior motive. I purchased the 2 story house next to Don's Carry out in ~1996 and restored it. The house was a wreck and was in the possession of a bank. I purchased the house and contents from the bank. After the closing, the heirs of the Miller Estate took a few items from the house, but the diaries were among the things they left behind. Other than that I do not know much more about them. In addition to that house, I believe the Miller family also owned a one story house on the way out of town as you head to Hamilton. it is the house that is on a triangle-shaped piece of property between two streets. It was in worse condition and is why I went with the house next to Don's. If I run across any more of his ephemera I will let you know. I still have a large framed late 19th ink etching of a leaping deer that is marked as from Butler County that was left in the house. If you have more questions let me know.
Subject: Re: Identity of seller?
Thank you for writing and thank you for your patience with me.
Below, you will see the passage that you provided Annelise at Gorman Auctions – and she, in turn, forwarded to me.
I understand that you would want to be certain about why I made my inquiry about the L. A. Miller diaries.
I know the house that you bought.
I visited there as, a kid in the 1950's, as my uncle, Paul Weiss, rented the house from Ernie and Belle Miller. Ernie was the son of Mr. L. A. Miller.
Paul Weiss, his wife, Lois, and their three children (my cousins) Francis, Bill, and Linn, lived in that house north of Don's Carry-Out. At that time, the property was in good shape.
I can confirm that the Millers owned the house immediately north of Don's Carry-Out (known in the 1950's as Glardon's Grocery), because Paul Weiss's daughter, Francis, told me about the times that she delivered the monthly rent check to the Millers, by riding her bike from the Weiss home to Ernie and Belle's home [located in the triangular piece of property that you describe below].
I personally recall that Ernie and Belle Miller, along with their son, Bill, lived in that house in the triangle south of Scott Road and east of Rt. 177 – as I grew up on a farm south of Darrtown and drove past the property a "bazillion" times.
Also, you might find it interesting to see the connection between the Miller family and the Darrtown Telephone company. See Businesses / Page 5.
Then, I suggest that you visit the NEW page that I added just last week, which tells the story about how the Miller diaries wound up in my hands. See Families / Miller, L. A.
With your permission, I would very much like to add the latest info [which you supplied below] to the L. A. Miller page/story.
Where were you located when you bought the Miller house? I assume that you were "local" [in the tri-state area of Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky] and not in Colorado.
Do you have any idea how the Miller diaries traveled from Darrtown to Colorado?
This is Bryan's wife, Amy, answering. Bryan is pretty swamped with work right now, and as he is a lover of history, he is glad to help. While he's short on time, I can fill in a few details. . .
He lived in the Dartown house throughout all his renovations and I'm sure would be thrilled to expand on the details of all his restorations of that house if you're interested. (He has many, many interior photos of his pre-restoration work--not sure if you could find any clues from these.) Small world, indeed.
With his graduate work done and his shore tour complete, he left Ohio and was never stationed there again. He took all his stuff with him, and that's how the diaries ended up in Colorado.
One more bit about those diaries: I knew Bryan as a fellow grad student. We were part of a Bible study group and were friends through this group. Just before leaving for his next assignment, he invited me to the "open house"--at last his long project was complete and ready for guests.
I don't know that I would have gone to this party. Bryan was nice enough, but I was busy with my own work.
Then he mentioned that there was a set of diaries left behind and sold as contents, diaries from the 19th century.
I was doing my work in English and writing, you see, so how could I resist reading someone else's diaries? Thus lured, I went to the party.
And now I'm married to Bryan.
Had I known the diaries would faithfully report each day's weather and every trip into town while leaving out things like marriage proposals and dramatic birth stories and daily strife, I don't know that I'd have taken that bait. Still: It seems the efforts of L. A. Miller reached far ahead to play a part in someone else's diary."
and the thoughtful generosity of Loyd Mowery!
Without the Internet and the thoughtful generosity of Loyd Mowery, it is highly unlikely that this page would have been created. Furthermore, the history told by the diaries of Mr. L. A. Miller would have gone unknown to persons interested in Darrtown.
The recovery of the Miller diaries underscores the need for a place where Darrtown artifacts can be preserved. Again, the question arises; will some individual or group step forward and initiate the creation of a Darrtown Historical Society and/or a Darrtown museum?
The Diaries arrived April 30, 2013!
BELOW: Mr. Loyd Mowery was true to his word. As promised, he mailed the collection of L. A. Miller diaries - from Colorado to Ohio. And, he did so, at his expense! The box was delivered by the U. S. Mail service.
BELOW: This is a view of the diaries, still in the box. There are 26 diaries - one for each year from 1910 through 1937 (unfortunately, the 1912 diary was missing).
RIGHT: This is a view of the 26 diaries in chronological order. Most of the diaries are three inches wide by six inches tall.
The following "Buyer Statement" was included inside the box that contained the L. A. Miller diaries. This February 26, 2011 document, issued by the Gorman Auctions, LLC of Manitou Springs, Colorado, confirms that a quantity of three Trays Diaries sold for $25 each. The purchase cost, including taxes and a buyer's fee, was $89.76.
What was a diary to L. A. Miller?
"A diary is a record. If to be handed down to coming generations, it should not contain any personal matter that may offend or in any way leave a blot in the ancestors or of the writer's relatives or of the Writer and his relations - A destruction of the Diary, might follow."
Who Was L. A. Miller?
Weight: 170 - 185 lbs.
Hat size: 7 3/8 in.
April 9, 1915 ~ "Ernest should be at home with us. He is our only son living."
July 16, 1915 ~ "Arnold Miller, my son."
RIGHT: This is the first entry for the first day in the first diary in the L. A. Miller collection.
This entry, on January 1, 1910, is typical of the entries recorded by Mr. L. A. Miller - every day, every year - from 1910 through 1937 - in this collection of diaries.
At the top of each page, Mr. Miller routinely recorded the temperature three times per day. Hence, the temperature on January 1, 1910 in Darrtown, Ohio ranged from six degrees to a high of 18 degrees to a night-time low of 10 degrees.
Mr. Miller then recorded his activities for the day and often noted news for the local area and beyond - frequently commenting on national and world affairs.
On this day, Mr. Miller wrote, "At home all day. I did not go to Hamilton today, it being a holiday. We had a few New Year calls and made some about town. New Year, I salute you. You will be what we make of you - largely Prosperity to some, Adversity to others."
From newspaper accounts and local folklore, Darrtown has long been believed to be a bastion of good, old "country baseball." The success and notoriety of Darrtown's native son, Walter "Smokey" Alston, is one example.
The famous 1920 baseball game played on Darrtown's field, south of town, stands out as the most memorable game played by the Darrtown boys. The story of this game, which featured two professional baseball pitchers, made the newspaper; see the story, with a photograph of the players, at "1920 Baseball" at: Events / Miscellaneous / Sports.
A perusal of Mr. Miller's diaries reveals numerous references to baseball games played by "the home team." Mr. Miller regularly reports scores of games played against other small Butler County villages, such as Jacksonburg, Shandon, and Somerville. Occasionally, there are reports of playing teams from the larger city of Hamilton (Ohio).
Does Mr. Miller's diary include any record of the storied 1920 Darrtown baseball game, in which Hod Eller, of the Cincinnati Reds, pitched for Darrtown and Charlie Root, of the Chicago Cubs, pitched for the Hamilton Hoovens?
Upon searching the pages of Mr. Miller's 1920 diary, a reference to the memorable ball game appears for Sunday, October 17, 1920.
This is a significant discovery, as Mr. Miller's record provides more information about the memorable game than does the newspaper account that appears at: Events / Miscellaneous / Sports.
The exact date of the game (October 17, 1920).
The weather ("fair to cloudy"), with morning, mid-day, and evening temperatures of 65-80-70 degrees.
The number of paid admissions (3,000).
The final score (1-0, in Darrtown's favor; heretofore, the final score was reported to be either 2-1 or 1-0).
"Warm, dusty, and dirty. Mr. Laughton & family visited with us today. We all attended the ball game. Hoovens vs. Darrtown. Score 0 to 1. Hod Eller pitched for Darrtown. Root for the Hoovens. The teams were very evenly matched. 3,000 people witnessed the game. Over 2,200 pd admissions, children free. 0 - 1 favor of Darrtown."
Clarification Note: When Mr. Miller wrote the phrase, "Root for the Hoovens," he was not acting as a cheerleader. He was reporting that Charlie Root was the pitcher for the Hoovens team.
Extra info: Apparently, L. A. Miller was looking forward to the baseball game, because on the preceding day (October 16), he wrote: "Still summer weather. No rain and cooler, but not much. A good day for ball game tomorrow. This is my birthday. Nobody said anything. They never do. I am now 58 - getting older & no mistake."
