TROUT ANGLERS owe Al Caucci a debt of gratitude. Just two examples of what he's done for us: the Comparadun dry fly and the Hatches books (all created with the late Bob Nastasi). These contributions alone assure that Caucci's and Nastasi's names will be included on any short list of innovative and influential trout anglers.
And now Caucci has put out this great book: A compact guide to identifying mayfly nymphs, duns and spinners entitled The Mayfly Guide. It's small enough to fit in a vest pocket, its pages are waterproof and it is perfect for a fishing road trip.
This book is pure utility. There is no purple prose, and not a single story of how Caucci correctly identified some unexpected mayfly and so saved an otherwise fishless day. A statement regarding the Ephemerellidae family on page 44—"These hardy and prolific insects are the most awesome of all mayfly families both in number and importance"—is as juicy as it gets. There are no distractions from the task of identifying mayflies.
The book is structured like a narrative flowchart: If "x" then "y," and if "y" then "z." The whole system is linear and elegant. An example: If the nymph you're looking at has tusks, it's a burrower; go to page 15. On page 15, you'll find drawings and descriptions detailing each relevant genus's defining characteristics. Once you've figured out the mayfly's genus, you're directed to subsequent pages to determine its species.
And just like that, you know what the bug in question will look like in each of its stages. This helps, of course, in choosing an accurate imitation, and then fishing it at the right time and in the right place. The Mayfly Guide streamlines mayfly identification in a way I've never seen.
The book was meant to be an on-the-water reference, but, its main utility isn't as an on-stream guide; I know very few anglers ("very few" = zero) who carry entomology guides with them while they're fishing, though I guess such anglers must exist. Instead, this book's primary virtue is that it's a simple-to-use, practical resource for the angler who collects some mayflies and who wants to key them out as efficiently as possible back at the home lab.
Let's say that during a morning session on the river you turn over some rocks and find a bunch of active 2-tailed mayfly nymphs with dark wingpads. You anticipate that the nymphs will emerge in the afternoon.
Whichever option you choose (and the choice will be dictated by your personality), The Mayfly Guide has you covered. If you're an option (1) type, your nymph-collection efforts gave you a good handle on what to expect for the afternoon emergence. If you're an option (2) type, you didn't collect any nymph samples, and you don't really know what to expect for that afternoon's emergence. So you do your best during the hatch, carefully observe some duns, and then key them out in the evening. You'll know what to expect for tomorrow.
In either case, using this book as a guide, your mayfly identification shouldn't take more than a half hour, tops, and there you go—you know where the pre-emergence nymphs are likely to congregate, where the duns should come off and what they'll look like, and whether there's a chance for a fishable spinner fall. All this from a book that measures a mere 6 ½ x 5 inches and that sports a red velourish cover.
It has to be noted that The Mayfly Guide is not like the O.E.D. of mayfly entomology. It is not comprehensive. It's a great help in identifying mayflies, but you'll need to look at other books to learn more about them. (The book provides a selected bibliography for just this purpose.) For example, it doesn't tell you what time of day the various mayflies are most likely to emerge, nor is there any attempt to state specifically when during a season emergences are likely to be heaviest. And there's no fly-pattern guide. The reader has to do some figurative legwork after identifying the mayfly du jour.
But this isn't much of a complaint: The Mayfly Guide hits its target straight on. It will help you identify mayflies more quickly than any reference I know of, and I'm itching to put it to use.

Q: Matlab Plot to image without display and save on a no Java server For the normal answers to this question, it is provided here: In MATLAB, how do I plot to an image and save the result without displaying it?
However, this will not work on a server that does not have Java support. This is the output:
>> testScript
??? Error using ==> imshow at 191
IMSHOW requires Java to run.

We cannot install Java in this server.
Of course, one of the answers suggest to modify the image directly, then go for imwrite. However, it is too primitive, and at this level, we should already have some sort of function that can draw lines.  What are some of the other available options for drawing directly on the image matrices?

John Prendergast Testifies to Congress on Sub-Saharan Africa, Urges Network Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Measures to Address War Linked to Grand Corruption
Enough Team May 9, 2018 May 9, 2018 No comments
Posted by Enough Team on May 9, 2018
Washington, D.C. – Today, John Prendergast, Co-Founder of The Sentry and Founding Director of the Enough Project, testified before the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health, Global Human Rights, and International Organizations, in a hearing on "Protecting Civil Society, Faith-Based Actors, and Political Speech in Sub-Saharan Africa."
In his testimony, Prendergast urged the use of robust financial tools to address mass corruption underlying war, atrocities, and human rights abuses in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Testimony excerpts:
"The ability of civil society to exercise their fundamental rights to self-expression and assembly are increasingly under siege in Sub-Saharan Africa due to the targeted violence and draconian restrictions on communication that allow autocratic rulers to suppress the voices of their people. The two interlocking and primary financial tools of pressure—network sanctions and anti-money laundering measures—can play a key role in creating actual consequences for repression and supporting civil society voices to press for freedoms throughout Africa, despite attempts by officials in those countries to stifle media, religious groups, rights advocates, and other civil society organizations."
"Serious financial pressure with meaningful consequences is not only possible but critically necessary to protect civil liberties and freedoms in Sub-Saharan Africa. The key ingredients to a more effective cocktail of U.S.-led financial leverage are network sanctions and anti-money laundering measures, working hand-in-glove."
In his testimony, Prendergast urged:
New Sanctions Tools and Better Utilizing Those We Have
Better Resourcing Current Sanctions Efforts
Anti-Money Laundering Measures
Additionally, Prendergast outlined key measures that Congress can take:
Strong Congo legislation introduced immediately
Speak out in strong opposition regarding any move to normalize relations with Sudan
Support beneficial ownership legislation
Increase in attention and pressure on South Sudan

Tim Tebow defeats North Korea's Kim Jong Il.
This headline had to be written after a weekend of fever high Tebow headlines and with the latest news that the world's worst dictator Kim Jong Ill of North Korea has died. In regards to Tebow mania, last week you had students being suspended for Tebowing in the hallways, Rick Perry comparing himself to Tebow during the Iowa Presidential Debate and Jockey (Tebow's sponsor) announcing they would give away $1 Million in underwear if Tebow won the Super Bowl. Yesterday, you had news outlets like the Drudge Report making his game against the Patriots the #1 headline story. When Tebow lost to Tom Brady's New England Patriots, Drudge changed their top headline to "God loves Brady too". Tebow fever concluded yesterday with The Oregonian's John Canzano on KGW Sports Talk giving one of the most spirited defense of an athlete when he spoke about Tebow and his hopes for his future.
You have sports, religion and politics all mixed into one volatile mix. Is it just me, or is Tebow mania heading for a crash? I would like to get your opinion.

Finding some inspirations of hairstyles for thin hair men will be totally great since you will have the ideas on how to make your hair looks much thicker and looks much better. Having the thin hair does not mean you could not make your hair looks stylish. As long as you know the key to make your hair better and also thicker, you will get the best result to get the stylish look. However, you can also try to thicken your hair, for example by having the regular hair wash using the right hair products, applying the hair tonic for hair thickening, and also massage the hair. Those are said to be effective to trigger the new hair growth.
In addition the stylish hairstyles for men with thin hair are actually varied. However, you need to simply know about the rules for your thin hair. One of the rules is avoiding the haircut which is too long on its sides and on the back. It is better to make it a bit short. Making it properly textured is another way to get your hair thicker look. That will be really effective. Another rule you have to mind if you are men with the thin hair is avoiding combing your hair over or getting it comb in extreme way. Just let it comb in natural result.
If you are dealing with your thin hair, you do not need to be worried since you can still also use the hair products to style your hair. Sure, you need to choose the right hairstyling products which can give volume to your hair. Some of the ideas are the hair mousse and hair spray. Then, there are also some ideas of the hairstyles which you can try as like the fringe style, pompadour and swept-back, and so on. Those are some ideas for thehairstyles for thin hair men.


Yes, it should definitely be made clearer. Simply 'looking' for aliens is great. Making contact with them is dangerous.
Perhaps, but you may be obligated to work for your survival. Society, after all, doesn't guarantee you that.
Sure it does. Even mathematics has things like that. Is ∞ a number or not? In some cases yes, in some no. How about i, sqrt(-1)? You have to be very precise about your context or you get an incorrect answer.
Of course you can, but it doesn't make the answer *true*. If what you say is true, we'd have successfully developed AI in the 50s-60s. Modern machine learning algorithms don't use classical logic. They use math: neural networks, statistics, linear optimization.
But not as *all* people understand it. Only the majority, so your conclusion wouldn't be true for all people.
It certainly can when the universe you speak of contains things that are 'neither A nor not-A' or 'both A and not-A'. Our real universe contains lots of those things.
As a scientific construct, the concept of race is certainly problematic because it is poorly defined. However, as a social construct (somewhat like money), the concept of race does exist, and it is very real in its consequences.
If there must be a first cause for existence, then any creator must also have a first cause, ad nauseam. The first cause is more likely the universe itself.

That 'Right Leaning Think Tank'
By Alan | July 30, 2013 - 8:54 am | July 30, 2013 BBC bias
The BBC more often than not will reveal to us, in the interest of transparency and impartiality, that a think tank is right leaning.
It is a rarity to see left wing think tanks or charities similarly defined.
I have yet to hear The New Economic Foundation so described despite being not just left leaning but out on the fringes of the loony left, the Resolution Foundation or the Rowntree Foundation are never called 'left leaning' despite that obviously being the case.
Today the BBC brings us the Million+ think tank, 'a think tank that also represents newer universities' which is telling us that 'England's teacher training system 'broken down'
The system of planning teacher training in England has broken down and risks a future shortage of teachers, a university think tank says.
In her evidence to the committee, Pam Tatlow, chief executive of Million+ – a think tank that also represents newer universities – said School Direct, , which is focused around on-the-job, school-based training, had been introduced "without any robust assessment of its impact on teacher supply".
Pam Tatlow? Ever heard that name before? You might have…she was in the news not so long ago….as a short listed Labour party candidate.
You'd have thought that might just be a bit relevant when you have a person strongly criticising government policy and yet is Labour through and through.
Apparently the BBC doesn't think that to be the case.

This is my shocked face.
John Standley says:
The BBC seems to have many graduation of "Right-wingism":
Right, Centre-right, Far-right, Extreme-right, Hard-right, Ultra-right, etc.
On the left, by contrast, we only ever seem to get the rather lame: "Left-leaning", you know, not quite err properly left wing, just mildly, sort of, er.. leftish.
I would like the bbc to tell us what criteria are used when ascribing "Right-wing" characteristics to any person or organisation, after all, "Right-wing" does seem to be a very wide spectrum.
And of course "conservative" is a description of a wide variety of people & causes that the BBC reports in a critical manner.
… but, of course, it is NEVER 'conservative' to oppose reform of the NHS, of the EU, of the BBC or of the national curriculum: these are somehow 'progressive' positions, although quite how isn't explained.
Wild says:
Anything which seeks to preserve the privileges of the Leftist establishment is progressive, and anything which seeks to undermine the power of the Leftist establishment is dangerous right wing conservatism. It is hard to think of a single Thatcher reform which the BBC did not oppose or any expansion of the State the BBC did not support – all in the name of balanced and objective reporting of course.
Lots of references to "conservative" (boo! hiss!) in the Radio 4 prog' about Turkey (this morning from 09:00 and repeated again this evening). It's Global (= good) v conservative (bad) there apparently, rather than secular v Islamic.
David Preiser (USA) says:
Right-wing is anything not to the Left of Gramsci. And racism and fascism, of course.
Tommo says:
I thought everyone knew this, but in Beebland leftie think-tanks are designated by the adjectives "leading", "influential" or "respected".
Leha says:
UAF
I rest my case
deegee says:
The Political Compass UK sees Labour, Conservatives and Lib Dems gradually moving Rightwards. Most UK parties are Authoritarian rather than Libertarian.
While I am not going to bat for the Compass it has to be more accurate than the BBC's walk-like-a-duck test.
pah says:
That'll be the site part owned by Glenys Kinnock. Not exactly a recommendation.
Joshaw says:
UKIP more authoritarian than the Conservatives, but no more right-wing?
BNP right of centre (just)?
Greens libertarian?
Can't take it seriously.
RTD Colonel says:
BNP RIGHT of Centre??? Usually compared to National SOCIALIST parties, by that judgement surely left of centre
Sorry read quickly after a couple of G & T's didn't appreciate the irony – my humble apologies.
That's OK.
Bombay Sapphire?
Span Ows says:
Their historical points aren't bad but they are currently totally off the rails: I am a good deal further to the left and more libertarian than Ed Miliband? I don't think so.

The bias of the BBC is now incontrovertible.

Nicky Crapbell on R5L this morning peed his pants when someone called in to say that someone had referred to someone else was a c****. Highly paid tosser offered Conservative as an option, and then only when his dim brain fired off a synaptic event did he laugh and say he couldn't resist. Yeh right, he may be stupid, but some of us with more than half a brain wonder why you licence fee payers put up with this overpaid waste of carbon.

By Joe Volpe on February 8, 2018
TORONTO – Villa Charities has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in advertorials, mailouts, advertisements and in Consultants just to convince the public that they are "the keepers of the holy grail."
They have not gotten the response they hoped, so they have taken to their website to press down on their message.
The kindest observation that one can make regarding the latest posting on the Villa Charities website is: "They must have lost their mind(s)."
The small cabal that has seized control of a once vibrant, community-oriented, not-for-profit, charitable organization is now focused exclusively on land development for private profit. In the process, they have isolated themselves, completely, from anything remotely resembling "community interest". Their mantra is "highest and best use" – squeeze the most profit available – from property. It's fine, if you have only one objective, one goal; and if you have uncontested, legitimate ownership of a parcel of land for that development. This latter point is highly doubtful, and probably overdue for a contest in Court.
Or, perhaps if Villa Charities (the YOU, in this case) were to present a proposal for enhanced facilities and programs that would capture the imagination and convince the Community that "what is now theirs can flower into something more."
That is not what happened in the Toronto Catholic School Board/Villa Charities Inc project.
Villa's own Consultants released a final Report on January 31 effectively summarizing there was no discernable evidence of any Community-oriented proposal, nor any legitimate plan to engage the Community or win over its support.
The concept of building an oversized, over-priced high school on the site of the Columbus Centre lit no sparks of imagination. In fact, because the plan would allow for the construction of at least three condominium towers comprising 3,000 units, with no discernable Community benefit, it ignited public anger and hostility. The Consultants, probably concerned with their own professional integrity as well, effectively told Villa Charities: Reset, start over again; and, this time, do it right!
How did Villa Charities respond? The Cabal "turtled".
Then it whined that the Community "has alienated many of us". It went on in paroxysms of self-pity, concluding that, "we have driven many of our past supporters to the sidelines and new ones are reluctant to get involved." Hello???
For an organization that bills itself as the "voice of the community" that's a strange leadership style. Blame the victim, as it were. And lash out at anyone who points out the obvious with accusations of harbouring "hidden agendas", "lining (sic) up votes", "journaling (sic) lies", "pretense" and "manipulation".
Villa spares no hectoring and lecturing: "The Italian Community has demonstrated the 'worst' elements of our culture. People have been lied to, bullied, intimidated and discriminated against by age, gender and religion," it intones. Of course, the Cabal can say and do whatever to assuage its delicate sensitivities. But, an unprecedented critical mass of MPs, MPPs, City Councillors, Community activists, members of the Social and Health Club facilities, neighbours, writers from near and afar have been almost unanimously against Villa's partnership with the Catholic School Board to tear down the Columbus Centre.
Yet the Villa executive continues to rail against any and all who might oppose them with a merciless invective that serves only to raise suspicions of malodorous conduct.

Several years back, Dennis Pajot had written a great bio of Florence Killilea, the president of the Milwaukee Brewers for the 1929 and 1930 seasons. Sadly, she left us in 1931 when she was much too young and never had the chance to show her true potential. The sketch shown below was from the Wisconsin News in May 2, 1929.
Milwaukee's First All-Black Baseball Team
Posted by :Dennis On : January 20, 2014

I imagine we have all done it. Found a tantalizing tidbit on a subject and decided to research it further. It sounds so exciting and newsworthy. Just find what there is to be found and put it into an article. Heck, maybe even a short book. There will be so much of interest. The big problem will be what to use and what to discard. The research starts for real. And then……almost nothing on the subject everywhere you look. You have to word spin just to get to the middle of page two.
While not quite as bad as that, my project on Milwaukee's first Black baseball organizer and star player–Napoleon Broady and his Milwaukee Reds–yielded some information, but left what I suspect is a lot of baseball unreported and probably lost to time.
The Reds (originally named Red Stockings) were first organized in May 1890, consisting of "the culinary and bell hopping department of the Plankinton House"*, a large hotel on West Wisconsin Avenue at North 2nd Street. All the athletes looking for spots were "colored." The players chosen for the squad were:
Billy Johnson — 1b
Ben Underwood–2b
Napoleon Broady-3b
Spencer Butler-ss
Bill Lyons-rf
F.J. Chapman-cf
Bud Demly-lf
Randall Philips-c
Burt Hutchinson-p
The players held a meeting on May 7 and decided they were prepared to meet any amateur club in the city. "In order that no suspicions of partiality in umpiring should be raised", the Reds decided to employ a man from another hotel as their umpire–"Jake", the Kirby House [on East Mason and North Water Streets] supernumerary. Challenges were to be addressed to James Blaine, superintendent of the bootblacking department of the Kirby House.
[* = The report the players consisted of "the culinary and bell hopping department of the Plankinton House" can be questioned. As will be seen below, Napoleon Broady worked at the Kirby house. Strangely, challenges were to be sent to James Blaine, who was a superintendent at the Kirby House. Others, Hutchinson and Phillips for example, never appear in City of Milwaukee directories I checked in the early to mid-1890s.]
The Plankinton House Reds first game was played a few days after their meeting. At Athletic Park, 7th and Chambers, home of the Western Association Brewers, the Reds beat the Lime Kiln Club—the only other Black baseball team organized in the city—by a score of 4 to 2. I could find no further information on the Lime Kilns before or after this game.
The Reds next game was on Sunday, June 8, again at Athletic Park. This game was against the Milwaukee Blues, a white team. It was reported the Reds had not had enough practice to get in "good trim" but would make things interesting for the Blues. The Reds and Blues both must have made the game interesting, the Reds winning 25 to 21. I could find no reports of any other games the Reds were to play during 1890.
Again in 1891 nothing could be found about the Milwaukee Reds baseball team. However, it was reported the following year the team won a number of victories in 1891, principally out of the state.
In 1892 the team emerged again. On June 2 the Milwaukee Journal announced the Plankinton House Nine had been organized as follows:
Nap Broady-captain and 3b
Eliott-1b
Harrison-2b
Ellis-ss
Demley-rf
Chapman-cf
Payn-p
Johnson-c
Sunday-lf
It was stated all communications should be addressed to Napoleon Broady, Kirby House.
The first game I could find in 1892 played by the Milwaukee Reds was against South Milwaukee on June 25. In that southern suburb of Milwaukee's park, the Reds lost 4 to 2, in what was said to be a "close and exciting struggle." The teams met again a week later at Athletic Park, the South Milwaukees beating the Reds badly, 25 to 5.
In July the first game involving two teams of all-Black players was scheduled for Athletic Park. The Reds were to take on the Boston Dips, captained by Randall Phillips. Although sounding as if they were from the Massachusetts city, the Dips were from Milwaukee. It was reported a bitter rivalry existed between the teams, and the Milwaukee Sentinel stated "a wad of money as big as a pillow will be wagered before the game comes off." As can be seen above, pitcher Phillips was on the 1890 Reds with Broady, as was the Dips' catcher, Burt Hutchinson. Both these players had played for the famous Gordons of Chicago. However, all the players of both nines could "play ball in dead earnest."
I could only find the two games between the Reds and the South Milwaukee club mentioned above having been played by either the Reds or Dips in 1892. How many unreported games were played I can not guess, as the July 24 Sentinel stated "both clubs are fully uniformed and have been playing winning ball this season." However, in the same article the Sentinel reported this season the Reds had played only a few games, the best being the first of the South Milwaukee contests.
A few days before the game betting was said to be even on the teams, and demand for tickets was high. It was reported this game was the only topic of conversation in sporting circles. This might not be an exaggeration, as only a few weeks before the Milwaukee entry in the Western League had dropped from the league and the Western League disbanded very shortly after that. Tickets were put on sale at the Plankinton House drug store, Phil Lederer's cigar store on Wisconsin Avenue, Rudolph Giljohan's tavern on North Water Street, and the baseball headquarters. Anticipating a large crowd, arrangements were made to insure ample streetcar accommodations to and from the park. The day before the game Frank Brady, of the Southern Texas League, was agreed upon as umpire.
Milwaukee Journal July 22, 1892
At 1:30 p.m. Broady's Reds left the Plankinton House on 2nd and Wisconsin Avenue in full uniform in carriages. Randall's Dips left at the same time from North Third Street, between West Wells and Grand Avenue. Both teams paraded through downtown streets on the way to the ball park at 7th and Chambers, a distance of about 3 miles.
Napoleon Broady was reported to be 28 years old in a November 1895 newspaper article, making him born ca. 1867. In the 1880 U.S. census I found a Napoleon Broady, born 1868 in Ohio. At the time of the census he was living in Miami, Ohio. If this is the same person, I could not find when he came to Milwaukee, when/if he left Milwaukee, or when he died.
A Napoleon Brody [sic] is first listed in the City of Milwaukee directories in 1890 as a porter at the Kirby House. Napoleon Brody is listed as this also in 1891 and 1892. In 1893 his name is spelled Brodie, but he is still listed as a porter at the Kirby House, possibly living there. His name is spelled Brodie again in the 1894 directory, but he is now listed as a bellboy–no hotel stated– and a home residence of 416 State is given. In 1895 Brodie's occupation is given as waiter, with a residence of 413 Cedar. In the 1896 directory the name is again Napoleon Brody, and he is again a porter (again no hotel stated), living at 417 State. He is listed in the City of Milwaukee directory in 1897, again as a porter, living at 710 Wells. Starting in 1898 the name is almost always spelled Broady [the exception being 1904, when it is again spelled Brody.] In the next 19 years Napoleon is listed as a boot-black, porter, laundry man and bartender in the directories, living at a variety of near west side addresses. In the 1912 and 1913 directories he is listed as the owner of a saloon at 405 Cedar [West Kilbourn Avenue].
As can be seen Napoleon's last name was spelled three different ways in city directories and local newspapers: Broady, Brody or Brodie.
Milwaukee Sentinel July 24, 1892
Outside of baseball I first came across Napoleon Broady in local newspapers in May 1890 when he was used, unwittingly, in an attempted land scheme by some out of state men. (The Milwaukee Sentinel gives his name as Napoleon Brody, while he is referred to as James Broady in the Milwaukee Journal, adding another variant to the name). In January 1893 Broady was again in the newspaper, being involved in a shooting of a chambermaid at the Kirby House. The Sentinel identified him as Napoleon Broady, but the Journal gave his name as Alexander Broady, to add another name to the growing list. Napoleon was released from custody, as the shooting was determined to be accidental.
Little could be found on Napoleon Broady the baseball player. The July 24, 1892, Sentinel reported he had played baseball for the last ten years, "and at one time was a member of an amateur club of white players which defeated everything in and about Milwaukee." [I do not remember coming across his name in my earlier research on Milwaukee's amateur clubs of this period, and a quick check of the few box scores and accounts I have with player's names of the major amateur clubs in the city, did not show his name. Perhaps further research, or that lucky find, will discover what team he played for, and when.] Broady's baseball coaching style appears to have been vocal and colorful. The Sentinel commented: "when he gets out on the line he just 'conversations' his men around the bases and razzleates the pitcher." The newspaper said he would be at his best for this game against the Dips.
The game on July 24, 1892, itself was an exciting, close game, played in front of 1,500 to 2,000 people, who sat "in a sweltering sun." The Sentinel reported there were many "pretty plays" by members of both teams. Unfortunately, the game was called after seven innings, so that there would be plenty of time for the other contests. The Dips won by a score of 9 to 8.
Unfortunately, the newspaper coverage gave more attention to the non-baseball activities than the game itself. In respect to people I respect, I will not get into this aspect of the afternoon. One shorter paragraph was given to the game. But we can be thankful for the box score.
I found no further games played by the Milwaukee Reds or the Boston Dips in 1892.
On July 10, 1893, the Reds played the Dips at Milwaukee's National Park (South 27th Street and West National Avenue), the Reds winning 8 to 7. The Reds captain stated he was accepting any challenges, and they should be addressed to "Napoleon Brody, second porter, Kirby House." Again, I could find no other game by either team played in 1893.
In 1894 the Reds, "whose members have in past years covered themselves with glory on the diamond field" where looking to again field a team. Milwaukee had a club in the minor Western League, but the team was in last place with a 10 and 25 record on June 20. On this day Broady talked to a Milwaukee Sentinel reporter. Napoleon told the reporter the Reds were in the "pink of condition" and were itching for a game. They decided to issue a challenge, and not to the all-Black teams of the area, but to Charlie Cushman's Milwaukee Brewers. Saying the Brewers had been easier to beat than "makin' a natural in a crap game," the Red's Captain said his team would play them for any amount of money. The Milwaukee Journal reported: "The Reds have the reputation of being an unusually strong team, capable of putting up a rattling game, so that it is somewhat surprising that Capt. Broady should stoop to meet the has-beens on the diamond." Cushman and his Brewers were in Sioux City, Iowa, at the time, and Cushman was asked about the challenge. He said he would have to communicate with the board of directors about a game with the Reds, and "if a game is arranged, I have the utmost confidence as to the outcome." A game never came about.
The Milwaukee Reds did play at least one game in 1894. It was announced in the Sentinel as part of the events at the Turf Club picnic to be held at National Park on August 8, the Reds would play the Turf Club team. However, the Evening Wisconsin had earlier reported the Reds would play the Boston Dips on this day "for the colored championship of the state." Whatever teams played on August 8, I could find no results of any game.
Although Napoleon Broady's name would appear in the newspapers a few times in the following years, I could find not a connection with him and baseball again. The last mention of him in the newspapers was on June 19, 1916, when it was reported Napoleon Brodie, was fined $25 and costs for being the "alleged keeper of a disorderly house." The last City of Milwaukee directory Napoleon Broady (by any spelling of the name) appeared in was the 1916 directory.
At least for now I have lost the trail of Napoleon Broady after 1916. But hopefully more will be found on one of the first in Milwaukee's tradition of local Black athletes and coaches.

Archie McFadyen — One of Milwaukee's Forgotten Nice Guys
Posted by :Yance On : March 6, 2011

Here is a new article written by Dennis Pajot about one of the early pitchers in the Cream City Baseball club.
"A year or two ago I started a minor project to find what happened to the players on Milwaukee's first major baseball team, the Cream City Club. Of the 9 regulars on this late 1860s club I could find information on most, but not enough to put together whatever I was trying to do. Then a few months ago Gary Rebholz and I were talking at the library and he told me he had found a death notice on an old ball player named Archie McFadyen. He asked if I was interested and I told him I certainly was. Gary was kind enough to send me (and translate from the German) the death notices he found. With this information I could find look for further information in the Milwaukee Journal and Milwaukee Sentinel and together with the information I had, put together something on the life of Mr. McFadyen."
According to the Milwaukee Sentinel of February 11, 1900, "one of the most even-tempered and courteous men in the city" was the doorman to Milwaukee's Chamber of Chambers, Archie McFadyen.
Archibald McFadyen was born in Erie, Pennsylvania in 1839. Archie's father, Archibald Sr., brought his family to Milwaukee in June of 1842 on the high pressure steamer, James Madison, captained by Archie's uncle John McFadyen. The senior Archie McFadyen was a sign painter by profession. It was said the signs he painted were done so well they lasted as long the buildings on which they stood. The McFadyen family took up residence on Van Buren Street.
While little is known of our Archie's early years we do know he was in active service with the volunteer Liberty Hose Company No. 2 of the Milwaukee Fire Department. We also know in the late 1860s McFadyen was in the Merchants' Zouaves and at some point became a member of the Knights of Pythias.
After the Civil War young men in Milwaukee became interested in the game of Base Ball that was becoming increasingly popular around the country. Archie was one of the young men enthused with this game. The Cream City Base Ball Club was formed in late 1865 and a match game between members was played at Camp Scott (on Prospect Avenue near today's Royal Place) in early November. McFadyen was the pitcher in this first match game, giving up 30 runs. Fortunately his team scored 36 in the seven inning affair.
The Cream City Club took on a more formal aspect in 1866 and played a number of out of city clubs. One of these games was a Decoration Day game against the Capitol City Club of Madison at Camp Randall. The Cream City Club left for Madison in high spirits, perhaps fueled by the news that the young ladies of Madison were "preparing to crown the victors after the manner of the ancient Grecians." Cream City won the game 48 to 15, McFadyen's pitching "completely demoralizing" the Capitol City nine.
Play continued for the Cream Citys through the 1866 season, including tournaments in Illinois. The local club went on to win the Wisconsin State Championship. In the 1867 McFadyen was elected secretary of the club. Archie continued pitching until later in the season when the Cream Citys found a new pitcher. McFadyen changed to shortstop. For the second straight year Cream City held the state championship.
1868 found Archie at shortstop again. But baseball was changing. Members of the Cream City Club, as all baseball players in Milwaukee, were amateurs. But professionals were filling the ranks in other major cities, and some of these professional teams played the Cream Citys.
Archie continued to play shortstop for the Cream City Club, in addition to being the team captain in 1869. When the club's regular catcher could not play, McFadyen took over behind the plate. He was in this position when the Cream Citys played the famous 1869 all-professional Cincinnati Red Stockings. Archie managed one hit and to score a run in the home team's 85 to 7 loss to the famous Red Stockings. McFadyen continued to play with the club until 1870 when professionals took the front seat in baseball across the country.
In December 31, 1867, Archibald McFadyen had taken over the job he would be best remembered for: doorkeeper of the Milwaukee Chamber of Commerce. Archie's job description at first was more than doorkeeper. It was also his duty to sweep out the chamber and performed duties later delegated to others. He was a bit of a utility man. McFadyen was at first doorman at the old Chamber of Commerce building at Michigan and Broadway. This building was torn down in 1879 and Archie stood guard at the temporary quarters occupied by the chamber in Munkwitz's building up the street on Broadway. The new Chamber of Commerce building was opened in the fall of 1886 and still stands.
While at the door of the Chamber of Commerce McFadyen made the acquaintance of many financiers and speculators—both those extremely successful and those who lost all their money. It was said his "unfailing good nature and willingness to accommodate made him a favorite with every one." He was just as skillful at introducing new members of the bulls and bears as he was at keeping non-members out.
Of the many he met, Archie had a few stories on some of the most famous. He though the most interesting character on the floor was Daniel Newhall. Not only was Newhall a smart speculator, but a fair and honest man, who was helpful to charities and passed money around freely. Other speculators and investors who stuck out in Archie's memory were Edward Sanderson, Peter McGeoch, Alexander Mitchell and Phillip Armour. Archie had a funny story about Armour once giving him a cigar to smoke after dinner. McFadyen, who had never seen Armour smoke on the floor, marveled at Mr. Armour's constitution, judging from the cigar. When Archie smoked the cigar, he said "It almost took my head off."
Archie McFadyen had the desire to round off his service at the Chamber of Commerce at 50 years. But after more than 48 years his family persuaded him to retire his post after a serious operation. It was thought it was doubtful if any other man held the position at the door of a commercial organization in the United States as long as Arche McFayden had held his position as doorman in Milwaukee.
Archibald McFadyen passed away on October 8, 1921 at his home at 650 Van Buren (later address changed to 1232 North Van Buren). He was survived by his widow, Jennie Louise, and two sons and two daughters. One of his sons was Alexander McFadyen, a nationally known pianist and composer. Archie McFadyen was buried at Forest Home cemetery.

In Cost Sector Catering's series of Q&As with suppliers, we talk to Paul Howell, head of commercial at Anglia Crown.
Cost Sector Catering: What challenges within the healthcare sector are influencing your business plans?
Paul Howell: The healthcare sector constantly encounters challenges, from operational and financial pressures to the social implications of an ageing population. We understand the catering constraints our clients work under and provide flexible meal solutions as part of our core Crown Choice and Crown Advantage ranges.
Strict nutritional standards, food waste and decreasing NHS budgets are just some of the pressures facing healthcare caterers, all of which influence our business plans. With Brexit on the horizon, the UK is in a period of political and economic uncertainty, but we will continue to look at the ways to best support our customers and patients.
What trends are driving your programme for new product development?
We invest in research and the development of technology to respond to the sector's ever-changing needs, carrying out product reviews twice a year, in April and October.
Most recently, we developed a finger-food range to help better care for patients who struggle to use cutlery – particularly those with dementia – after a need was identified through patient-led assessments.
In response to the national drive for sugar reduction, we are also developing a range of reduced-sugar desserts.
Is the business undertaking any new initiatives in 2017?
Our 'Good to Great' campaign will ensure our products continually evolve as we seek to improve the quality of each dish.
We are developing our Crown Choice finger food to bring out an individual meal version in our Crown Advantage range. This includes around 50 dishes, ranging from main meals to desserts cut into easy-to-eat pieces.
Our vegan meals are being extended as demand has quadrupled over the last seven years.
We've also set up a cross-party working group to raise awareness of the issues facing hospital caterers and the real-life circumstances they work under. It aims to recognise the diversity of NHS catering nationally and the solutions available within those environments.
What advice are you offering your customers?
We work closely with customers to drive standards, increase patient satisfaction and reduce waste. Each ward can be assessed separately to see which service is best for them. Patient meal systems should reflect the best fit in terms of quality, choice and flexibility, while keeping waste to a minimum. We encourage customers to provide feedback to ensure we maintain the high standards they expect from us.
Our commitment to our customers can be demonstrated by recent contract wins such as our new five-year agreement with ISS Facility Services Healthcare and new business with Frimley Park Hospital.
What is on your wish list for the year ahead?
Contract retentions, as well as expected new business, will form a significant part of our plans for future growth.
The sector is working hard to improve the perception and delivery of hospital food. Despite lots of positive things happening in hospital catering, we rarely hear about them in the media. As a food manufacturer, we need to challenge the misconceptions surrounding hospital food, especially regarding brought-in food. We need to get better at promoting positive stories.


Around these parts, it's pronounced PeKHAN, and it is truly delicious. A little nutty and a little fancy, it's steeped in time-honored kolache tradition. Think of it as a classic pecan pie filling topped with a honey roasted pecan, rolled into your favorite treat.


Think about when you feel pain and misery. It likely comes from thinking something shouldn't be the way it is.
This time of year can be especially hard for some of us as we look around at the mayhem and superficiality that comes with holidays, making it easy to focus on how bad the past year has been or how uncertain the next year may look today, instead of concentrating on just this exact present moment that we're in right now.
I've recently been struggling a lot with staying focused solely on the present moment, because despite all of the hard work, day in and day out, that I put in, this past year particularly has been filled with one crushing, disappointing blow after another. And because I don't like to voice my complaints about things that are personal, very few people ever really know exactly what's bothering me, or that anything at all is wrong. But I will admit that much of my pain has to do with not accepting the present for what it is.
When I think about the past ten years, I often find myself trying to figure out where I went wrong—what I could've or should've done differently, thinking maybe I should've chosen different schools or made different career choices, because back then, I was always dreaming about the future—about where I'd be today. I wasn't living in the present then. I was thinking about what might (or should) be in ten years. And quite honestly, this was not the way it was supposed to be.
But here I am now, trying not to focus on what's passed, and trying not to do what I was doing years ago by surmising the future. I still have dreams, and I work toward them with vigor like you wouldn't believe. One day at a time is my motto, but really, the goal is to focus on one moment at a time, because even though during weak moments I sometimes look back and despise the past, I must admit that I missed a lot—perhaps a lot of cool stuff—because I wasn't living in the moment.
So think about it: Do you find yourself in misery and pain because you're constantly thinking that something shouldn't be the way it is?
Today's assignment: Take 5 minutes to just write whatever is on your mind at this very moment. It can be anything—something you see out the window, the food in front of you, or even the random nothingness that might be floating through your head. Afterward, think about the freedom you felt by just being in the moment for those 5 minutes.
In most Buddhist traditions, The Buddha is regarded as the Supreme Buddha. The word Buddha means "awakened one" or "the enlightened one".

Alissa Cordeiro - Actress. Writer. Teaching Artist.
Headshots, Etc.
"Alissa Cordeiro [Marjorie] is excellent as the sympathetic victim, and as later as the strong vengeful woman, you want to root for, as she attempts to bring her own brand of vigilante justice to bear on her attacker. The depth and range she brought to the character of Marjorie...is riveting to watch throughout every scene."
- David Tompkins, BroadwayWorld
"The acting team is phenomenal. Alissa Cordeiro as Marjorie and Padraig Sullivan as the intruder both have character arcs that leave them broken by the end of the play and it's incredible to see how both navigate those reversals of fortune. The changes seem to happen so incrementally, so subtlety, as to be almost non-existent. It's not until the end that you realize just how far they've gone...Cordeiro manages to make us feel her desperation as her character's day spirals out of control.
It feels somewhat perverse to call a play like this thrilling, but when a theater company nails a play the way AKA Theatre nails this one, the result is thrilling."
- Jamie Wilkinson, Rabbit Reviews Boston
"The play is heavily laden with fight choreography. A great deal of trust and dexterity is required from the roles of Marjorie and Joe in order to execute their assaults. Both Cordeiro and Sullivan demonstrate restraint and flexibility while executing complicated staging under the scrutinizing gaze of the audience. They aren't easy to watch. Assault shouldn't be.
I don't think Extremities is the kind of play one is supposed to find entertaining. Yet, it is important storytelling. It is feminist and courageous. It honors the survival of others by offering an alternative ending to an all to common conclusion."
- Kitty Drexel, New England Theatre Geek
"Alissa Cordeiro handles Marjorie's transformation with admirable control, perfectly manipulating her physicality, words, and emotions to the brink of over-acting, but never beyond the line. The result is a performance buzzing with freneticism, imagining trauma as a chaotic, dangerous force...Watching these four actors at the top of their game is a treat; watching them work together with incredible fluidity and cohesion, even more so.
Sacrificing neither political power nor aesthetic prowess, Extremities is a tightly-constructed and astonishing piece of theater, its incisive social critique matched only by its rare craft. It is not to be missed. "
- Nicholas Whittaker, TheaterMirror
Citizens of the Empire
"Josephine (Alissa Cordeiro),[is] a scrappy survivor who ran a brothel until she ran afoul of the law. [She] is a dynamic, sensual presence, sometimes calculating in her flirtations but often unconsciously physical in the way she interacts with her new friends."
- Killian Melloy, EDGEBoston
"There's a lot of WONDER that does hit the mark, chiefly because of the cast's spot on, tongue-in-cheek delivery...Alissa Cordeiro is a treat as the dubious shrink/clown (and wiseacre waitresses)"
- Beverly Creasy, Boston Arts Review
"[Cordeiro] delivers one of the funniest lines in the play just after a climactic moment...[She] also does heavy duty multiple role management throughout as a shipboard tourist and as three different servers at the above-mentioned themed restaurants, creating (and hopping back and forth between) separate, distinct characters in a virtuoso display."
- Killian Malloy, EDGE Boston
"Alissa Cordeiro is the character-actor workhorse of the production. Throughout the show she removes one character and dons another as fluidly as if she were taking off one mask and putting on the next."
- Michael Cox, EDGE Boston
"Alissa Cordeiro is a riot in multiple roles including the clown/therapist and a series of waitresses at a series of increasingly ridiculous themed restaurants."
- Mike Hoban, Boston Events Insider
What Once We Felt
"Alissa Cordeiro is Healy's tragic anti-hero, who knits like Mme. Defarge, watching her mother suffer...the crackerjack ensemble is the reason WHAT ONCE WE FELT succeeds."
On Ego
"I haven't seen characters like Alex, Alice and Derrick onstage for a long time. Just seeing them is a treat...Alice adds new depth to the show when we find out she has an inoperable brain tumor. Alissa Cordeiro does a fantastic job of portraying both Alice's vibrant personality and declining state; she's normal enough to be a foil to Alex's quirks, yet strange enough to be interesting, even without the complication of illness. "
- Joelle Jameson, Bostonplays
Alex's wife, Alice (Alissa Cordeiro) has just received news that she has a "butterfly tumor" in her brain and that she is going to die...Cordeiro believably straddles between normality and this debilitating condition while creating a very realistic character who is dealing with the tension within her marriage and her family...Like an engrossing episode of The Twilight Zone, the science is a means for exploring the relationships between these three characters in a heightened matter that they cannot hide from...this play achieves the best of science fiction by exploring humanity and man's place in the world.
- Becca Kidwell, New England Theatre Geek


Time to think about your spring garden and in more temperate areas in North America you will have an opportunity to start your second season of cool weather crops. If you are going to be growing your plants from seed, you will need to begin procuring your seeds now and getting them into your starter pots. When you order seeds for your garden, be sure to think about crops for your livestock will enjoy as well. Include carrots, kale, chard, collards and comfrey roots for your goats. Chickens adore carrot peels - be sure to use all parts of the plant. For more information on starting your plants and then transplanting into your garden, check our our gardening section.
Depending upon what kind of animals you are keeping, babies will begin to arrive soon. With that in mind you will want to think through not only what needs to be maintained now, but what supplies you will need on hand for your new arrivals.
Be sure to watch roofs of barns, coops and other structures for leaks or signs of stress under snow build-up or increased rainfall.
Make sure waterers and their pipes are well insulated. When in doubt, it's always easiest to drain a line before a freeze as opposed to digging up broken pipes and making repairs.
Be sure to have plenty of heat lamps in your inventory. Use them in your chicken coop to keep your flock warm, your goat kids will appreciate the extra warmth on cold, blustery days and nights, and if you are allowing your flocks to breed, you will need heat lamps in the not too distant future for your chicks.
When the weather is inclement, take advantage of your downtime to set up your record keeping for the new year. Everyone has different needs for the information, so it is good to prepare early to decide what information will be important to you in the coming year. Basic data should include production and health records, dates of worming, vaccinations, and products used. We recommend always recording expenses. Knowing what your milk or egg production costs is a great incentive and tool to improve your management. Record birth dates, weights and any other pertinent information.We like to weigh our kids once a week for the first few months of their lives and once a month until they are of breeding age. If you raise registered animals, be sure you have the service memorandum and you may wish to photograph and record the sire and dam information. This information is easy to forget but can be very useful if you need to sell the kids or want to document your herd.
We wish you a happy 2012 and hope you have a joyful and productive year with your garden and animals!
