World Series History
The World Series is a championship series of Major League Baseball in the United States and Canada that holds every year. As far back in 1903, the prestigious baseball event has held between the champion team of the American League (AL) and the Champion team of the National League (NL). Whichever team comes top from a seven playoff game becomes the World Series champion and takes home the Commissioner’s Trophy. The tournament is often referred to also as the Fall Classic as it is played during the fall season.
In baseball history, the first official World Series is recognized to have been played in 1903. However, before 1903, baseball World Series games were played. MLB considers 19th-century baseball to be the preceding developmental period to modern baseball and therefore do not officially recognized baseball competitions of the 19th century.
1930 saw a change of the MLB views to 19th-century baseball as various official sources on the subject of World Series history started the list from 1903, however, discuss the world series games before 1903 separately.
Providence Grays of the National League had played against the New Metropolitan Club of the American Association in the first baseball World Series in 1884. However, it was called “The Championship of the United States” It was a three-game series. The Grays emerged victorious in the game.
The following years’ variation of the “The Championship of the United States” game took place between the pennant champion of the National League and the American Association in a six to fifteen games series until 1891 when the American Association collapsed, resulting in a suspension of the series.
1892 saw the adoption of the split season practice in which the National League played a split season, and the first-half winner played the second-half winner for the league championship. However, this new methodology of play didn’t sit well with the majority of baseball fans, and so, therefore, the split season practice came to a stop in 1893.
In 1894, a championship trophy between the first positioned team and second-placed team in the National League with the financial benefits of the winning side pocketing 65% of ticket sales and the losing side raking in the remaining 35% was proposed by Pittsburgh’s owner William C. Temple and adopted. This new system of play replace the disrupted “The Championship of the United States” and became the seed for the famous baseball’s post-season games.
In 1901, the American League sprang back to life. Fierce competition and rivalry thus ensued with the National League following the AL establishments, a baseball “civil war.” After two years of bitter competition for fans loyalty and attention, both leagues reached a compromise termed the “National Agreement” and merger. It produced the business foundation for the modern-day baseball game.
And once again, the World Series was back in play. Boston Americans (Now known as the Red Sox) of the American League were up against Pittsburgh Pirates of the National League in the first official “World Series” in 1903. The game was held on Huntington Avenue Grounds, with a little over 100,000 in attendance. Boston Americans won the first official World Series, five-game to three.
Ever since the World Series in the sport became an annual tournament between the pennant winner of the AL and NL, however, it was boycotted the following year. From 1905 it continued to date aside from the 1994 season strike year. The World Series has been played 115 times. American League won 66 of those 115 and the National League 49.
World Series Facts & Trivia
Below are important and informative World Series facts & trivia. Explore!
1. The series had a rocky start
The first official World Series had taken place in 1903, with Boston Americans coming out victorious. The world of baseball had anticipated the continuation of the tradition the following year.
However, it skipped the next year and continued in 1905 for a hilarious reason. The New York Giants (now called the San Francisco Giants) turned down playing Boston Americans who they were meant to face in the World Series. Their reason being that the American League wasn’t a credible league deserving a competitive play against them and declared themselves world champions. How crazy!
The National League and American League was just recovering from a baseball civil war, and to maintain peace, the baseball world as a whole neither recognized nor disprove the New York Giants as champions but instead put the episode behind and decided to try the following year again.
2. The curse of the Billy’s Goat
When Billy Sianis was ordered to exit the Cubs’ World Series game against the Detroit Tigers in 1945, the Cubs had no idea they were stepping on the tail of a dangerous silent tiger, which would cause them the World Series for years to come. Billy had been sent off from watching the game as fellow fans were agitated of his pet goat, which was so smelly and upsetting to them.
Angry at been sent off, Billy cursed the Cubs that they would never win the World Series. As the event turned out to be, the Cubs didn’t win. They tried for years but never won. The Curse of Billy Sianis stood. In a bid to break the curse, they had Billy’s nephew bring a goat onto the field. Still, nothing changed. Not until 2016 was the curse broken after the Cubs recorded their first World Series win for the first time since 1908.
3. Too much jewelry
The giving of rings to players who won the World Series began in 1922. It was a souvenir to players and team coaches who achieved the World Series victory, and most players valued and cherished the rings. However, Frank Crosetti, after 17 World Series wins, decided he had enough rings and asked for the unexpected in replacement of the ring, an engraved shotgun.
4. The perfect game
A perfect game in base occurs when a pitcher doesn’t give the opposing team a chance to get on base. A perfect game for one team spells doom for the other as it means the opposing team doesn’t record hits or walks in the game. It seldom happens especially not in a World Series. In 1956, Don Larsen of New York Yankees threw 97 pitches to take out 27 batters of the opposing Brooklyn Dodgers on route to winning the World Series.
5. Baseball after dark
Baseball had featured some of its scheduled games at night timing from the 1930s. However, the World Series played its first night game in 1971 after. Surprisingly, a larger audience tuned in to watch the game at night. Soon it became a popular trend, and most World Series week games, which should supposedly hold in the day, were held at night.
6. Championships from different sports
For any baseball player, playing in the World Series is the peak of achievement. So also is playing in the Super Bowl for any American football player. One player, however, achieved both. Deion Sanders played in the World Series in 1992 with the Atlanta Braves against the Toronto Blue Jays. He also played two Super Bowl — the 1995 Super Bowl with the San Francisco 49ers and 1996 with Dallas Cowboys.
7. The World Series is a small world
It is called the World Series, but the implementation of its name isn’t literal to how the game is played since the entire world does not engage in the competition. Toronto Blue Jay’s happens to be the only team outside the US to have won the World Series. They won it twice, in 1992 and 1993.
8. The greatest comeback
In 2004, Boston Red Sox became the first team in the history of World Series to record a phenomenal come back after losing three games in the playoffs to go on winning 4-3 and qualified for the World Series matchup. They won the World Series in the fourth game against St. Louis Cardinals.
9. The 1994 World Series was not held
The players’ strike in 1994 affected not only regular baseball gameplay but also the prestigious World Series tournament. The World Series that year was canceled.

Dynamic Suspension Tuning
Modern day suspension systems are capable of improving every rider's experience out on the trail, but many times the benefits of a rider's suspension are being underutilized. The Dynamic Suspension Tuning (DST) Process was developed by Specialized Bicycle Components University (SBCU) and Specialized Pro athletes with the goal of delivering the highest level of suspension performance.
By bracket testing the bike, we take the existing bike suspension, along with a defined process, and best tune the bike to your specific riding style and trails.
BASELINE: STATIC SETUP
Baseline settings are the suspension settings that are result of proper static suspension setup. They play a crucial part of tuning because this is the starting point for any tune. Your DST service starts with a Static Setup of both your front and rear suspension. Measurements are calculated and then used in the following bracketed steps.
DST WILL CHANGE YOUR RIDE-AND YOUR LIFE!
Dynamic suspension tuning is the way to take your bike to the next level, by tuning your suspension to you and your riding style to create the best ride quality possible. You'll be able to hit jumps more confidently, tackle technical terrain, roll through berms more smoothly and quickly, and have an overall improved riding experience after your appointment with a DST Specialist.

Higher Clouds Retain Less Energy
Clouds reflect incoming energy from the sun but trap outgoing energy from the Earth. How much energy clouds retain versus reflect determines their
emissivity— their ability to act as a source of energy themselves. Satellite-based observations provide information about the top but not the bottom of clouds. Thus, ground-based observations are still important to understand the effect of clouds on the atmosphere and surface radiation balance. Scientists used the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Mobile Facility (AMF) dataset collected from Shouxian, China, in 2008 to simulate the downwelling radiances on the surface. Results show that emissivity of clouds decreases as the height of their bases increases. That is, the higher the bases of the clouds, the less those clouds can act as sources of energy. These results significantly improve our ability to quantify the impact of clouds forming at different altitudes on Earth’s energy budget.
Pan, L. J., and D. R. Lu. 2013. “A New Method for Retrieving Equivalent Cloud Base Height and Equivalent Emissivity by Using the Ground-Based Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer (AERI),” Science China – Earth Sciences 56(1), DOI: 10.1007/s11430-012-4398-z.

The victims of Donald Trump's sexist insults include a Playboy Playmate, a new mom, a newspaper columnist and Rosie O'Donnell — but the billionaire said on Friday that he doesn't remember bashing them.
Donald Trump claimed he never uttered many of the chauvinistic slurs brought up in Thursday's Republican debate just hours after the Fox News forum ended.
"I didn't say many of those things," he said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" Friday. "I don't know where they got some of these words. Not that I'm an angel, but I don't recognize some of those words."
During Thursday's debate, host Megyn Kelly asked how Trump would handle "the charge … that (he is) the part of the war on women," given his sexist tirades.
"You have called women you don't like 'fat pigs', 'dogs', 'slobs', and 'disgusting animals,'" Kelly said. "Your Twitter account has several disparaging comments about women's looks. You once told a contestant on 'Celebrity Apprentice' it would be a pretty picture to see her on her knees."
While Trump claimed he never said many of the derogatory comments, all of the specific sexist slams were well-reported when he made them.
Trump made the knees comment to a Playboy Playmate on a 2013 episode of "Celebrity Apprentice: All-Stars."
In boardroom deliberations about the outcome of a losing project, rocker Bret Michaels told Trump that his teammate model Brande Roderick "got down on her knees" to emphasize her passion for the task, VH1 reported at the time.
"Excuse me, you dropped to your knees?" Trump asked Roderick.
The blonde said yes, and after an uncomfortably long pause, Trump responded, "It must be a pretty picture. You dropping to your knees."
The "disgusting" soundbite came from legal proceedings during a 2011 lawsuit. The billionaire walked out on lawyer Elizabeth Beck, who asked to take a break so she could pump breastmilk for her infant daughter.
"You're disgusting," he told the new mom before storming out of the office.
He called New York Times columnist Gail Collins a "dog" sometime before 2011.
"He sent me a copy of the column with my picture circled and "The Face of a Dog!" Collins wrote in a 2011 op-ed, explaining the insult came after she referred to him as a "financially embattled thousandaire."
The other insults — "fat pigs," "slobs" and "animals" — were all directed toward Rosie O'Donnell. He has used those abusive names many times, including in a 2006 interview with Entertainment Tonight and a 2007 appearance on "Today."
During the debate, O'Donnell was the only woman Trump admitted to insulting. Halfway through Kelly's question, Trump said he made the nasty remarks to "only Rosie O'Donnell."
O'Donnell quickly reacted.
"Try explaining that 2 ur kids," she wrote on Twitter Thursday night.
On Friday, Trump claimed he won the debate despite being given "tougher" questions than the other nine presidential hopefuls. He specifically slammed Kelly for her "unprofessional" behavior.
"I've been set up before, and I think I handled it well," Trump said. "The questions were much tougher but I think I handed it well. I answered the questions well."
Trump said the debate's opening question — in which the moderators asked the candidates if they would pledge to not run as an independent should they lose the primary — was especially designed to corner him.
Trump was the only one to say he couldn't make that promise.
"I am running as a Republican, and I'm winning by a lot," he said Friday, adding that he'd rather run in the party than as an independent.
"It's not something I want to do, but a lot of people are asking me to do it — begging me to do it."

NFL games are unpredictable. Thus, many people enjoy watching them. Each NFL season brings surprising contenders, record breakers, and breakout performances. As a result, many unforgettable moments from the start of the season to the Super Bowl. NFL futures betting will take the excitement to a higher level.
This tutorial will look at the types of NFL future wagers available in software for sportsbook and how you can profit from them. Future bets are wagers on undetermined results, such as the MVP award or Super Bowl winner.
Line adjustments are standard in futures wagering. As awarding ceremony or a specific game nears, odds can become shorter or longer depending on various factors. In addition, the player’s or team’s performance during the season can influence the odds of the futures wager.
Sports betting solutions offer different types of NFL futures wagers. Thus, you can find value through various wagers. Although there are many futures to choose from, players prefer some markets.
One of them is the team win totals. It is one of the most lucrative futures wagers if you bet early in the season. It is betting on whether the team will win less or more than a specified number. Before you wager on team win totals, we recommend checking the strength of their schedule. A team might be strong on paper. However, it might have a tough schedule during the season. Thus, it will be difficult for the team to hit over 10.5 wins.
Other futures bet you can make is the Super Bowl Futures. Again, we recommend placing your wager before the start of the season to maximize your profits on this type of futures bet. All you need to do is to wager on the team to win the title.
When betting on NFL futures, make sure you do some line shopping. Lines constantly move during the year, and shopping for the best odds will allow you to find one that gives the most value. Also, check other sports betting tutorials on how to compare odds.

QS promises savings of$ 100 Million with the end of public funding of private schools
Monday, 5 February 2018 16:47
Monday, 5 February 2018 16:51
Look at this article
Québec solidaire says that his promise to abolish the public funding of private schools will result in savings of nearly$ 100 million annually. A figure contested by the Federation of private educational institutions.
The formation of the left has unveiled its first electoral commitment on Monday at the end of his caucus présessionnel. If it came to power, Québec solidaire, promises to abolish the public funding of private schools in four years.
“We want the private system to become a truly private”, summed up the male spokesperson of the party, Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois.
His colleague, Amir Khadir, said that parents “have to struggle” to send their children to private school to give them a better chance.
While many believe that this measure would cost a fortune to the State, Québec solidaire believes that it would allow a savings of approximately$ 98 million since approximately 50% of students would migrate to the public.
“So there’s a half that would remain in the private sector, but whose families would fund fully the education, stresses Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois. Therefore, we would support more children in the audience, except that there would grant no more in the private sector. Therefore, at the net, we are talking about a savings of about $ 100 million per year, $ 98 million, to be exact.”
The Federation of private educational institutions refutes these data and states that she would rather some$ 600 million annually.
“In addition, several private schools are the owners of their buildings, some of which are buildings of heritage, written the Federation in a press release. The purchase of these buildings represent investments that are in the billions of dollars, without counting the amounts to be invested annually for their maintenance.”
More details to follow…

Freedom–August 9, 2019–The state issued a cyanobacteria advisory for middle Danforth Pond today after assessing samples taken from the shoreline in the Abenaki Drive area.
The first sample quickly decayed, but a second sample was viable and was found to exceed the state’s threshold of 70,000 cells per ml of cyanobacteria. Signs were posted in the affected area advising residents and visitors to avoid contact with the water. Pets should also be kept away.
The state’s notice stated that “observations have been noted at both ends of the pond and are likely to move through to other connected ponds.”
The advisory is not based on a toxin evaluation, and is intended as a precautionary measure for short term exposure. It will remain in effect until DES confirms that cell concentrations of the bloom have subsided.
Cyanobacteria, once known as blue-green algae, are natural components of water bodies, but blooms form when there are extra nutrients present in the water. Some cyanobacteria may produce toxins that can be harmful to humans and pets.
Danforth Pond residents and visitors are asked to be on the lookout for water that has a surface scum, changes colors, or appears to have green streaks or blue-green flecks aggregating along the shore. New blooms should be reported to the state at (603) 848-8094.
The latest news of the cyanobacteria warning is distressing to say the least. As a full time resident on Danforth Pond I’m left wondering what it is I can personally do to help alleviate this recurring situation. Is it the result of global climate change? Or can we as residents do more to help inform our neighbors about the use of pesticides and fertilizers? What can we do to make sure our aging septic systems aren’t leaching into the groundwater and the lake? Today I witnessed them installing warning signs on the beach at Danforth Bay Campground. Such a shame we can’t have full use of all the water activities available to us. Let me know what I can do to help. While I am disabled and rely on oxygen surely there is some way I can contribute by making phone calls or stuffing envelopes…organizing meetings etc.

Patriot Ordnance Factory Rogue Trigger Upgrade!
(3/9/2020) Phoenix, Arizona – When Patriot Ordnance Factory announced the Rogue in early 2020, it quickly gained traction for being the lightest .308 AR in the world. It’s based on the Revolution platform, however the Rogue boasts the low MSRP of $1799.99.
Recently the leadership at Patriot Ordnance Factory decided to add more value to the Rogue family. It was slated to ship with a MILSPEC trigger, but before the first shipment went out the door POF-USA has decided to upgrade all Rogue rifles, including future production, with their own 4.5lb drop-in match grade trigger.
“We knew the Rogue was going to be popular with hunters that use an MSR in the field,” says Frank DeSomma, head patriot at POF-USA, “so we wanted to give them a trigger that enhances the rifle’s performance, while giving the hunter the edge they need to make an ethical shot.”
This free upgrade will be installed in all Rogue models, including the 12.5” barrel pistol and 16.5” barrel carbine. The carbine weighs just 5.9 pounds, while the pistol weighs a mere 5.7 pounds. These weights are almost a full pound lighter than the class-leading Revolution DI.
POF-USA 4.5lb Drop-In Match Grade Trigger - Now included with all Rogue models
Rogue Rifle .308 WIN 16.5” barrel, 11” Renegade Rail 5.9lbs

Over one-third of Australians 12 years and older own a smart speaker. And Google is the dominant operating system, with 24% of Australians owning a Google device, and only 3% owning an Amazon speaker. That metric is different from the U.S., where 24% own Amazon and 13% own Google.
In the U.S., 33% of Americans (12+) own a smart speaker, compared to 26% in Australia.
These metrics come from the recently released Smart Audio Report Australia 2021, released by Edison Research (which conducted the field work), supported by Commercial Radio Australia (CRA) and TalkVia.
Most Australians who own smart speakers have just one, but the three-year trend shows growth of three-speaker households:
And 61% of smart speaker owners plan to purchase another one.
Two-thirds (67%) of owners use their speakers every day, and 88% use them at least weekly. At the same time, most owners agree with the statement, “You don’t know enough about your smart speaker to use all its features.”
Interestingly, smart speaker ownership drives use of smart assistance on phones — 49% of smart speaker owners who own a smartphone say they use their phones for conversational assistance more than previously.
What about non-owners? Is there an appetite for smart speaker ownership in that cohort? Not uch. sixty-two percent say “Not at all likely.
The report is based on an Australian national survey of 5,000 18+ adults in April and May of this year.

Case-Shiller: Seasonal bump in Q2 home prices
All 20 tracked metros see year-over-year declines
Home prices rose in the second quarter compared to the first quarter, but fell on a year-over-year basis, according to the latest Standard & Poor’s/Case-Shiller National Home Price Indices report released today.
The quarterly national index rose 3.6 percent in the second quarter to 130.1, after a reported “double dip” in the first quarter. That’s a 5.9 percent decline compared to second-quarter 2010, taking home prices back to what they were in early 2003.
The 20-city composite index rose 1.1 percent on a monthly, nonseasonally adjusted basis in June, to 141.3. On a seasonally adjusted basis, the composite remained essentially flat at -0.1 percent. The composite fell 4.5 percent year over year.
None of the 20 cities in the composite posted monthly declines in June, and 19 of 20 posted increases. Minneapolis and Chicago saw the largest monthly increases, at 3.2 percent each. All 20 markets declined compared to June 2010, however, with Minneapolis and Portland seeing the biggest drops, down 10.8 percent and 9.6 percent, respectively.
Annual rates of growth have improved in 13 out of 20 cities, though they remain in negative territory, the report said.
Without power, schools won’t be able to open on time. But local school officials are hoping that’s not the case.
“Safety is our biggest concern,” said Jere Hochman, Bedford Superintdendent of Schools, on Tuesday afternoon. “We have sports activities running today outside and we plan to have new teacher orientation tomorrow. But we are exploring all of our options and if we don’t have power on campus by Friday, it’s a possibility that we could delay opening day.”
Hochman said he planned to send out an official message to district parents sometime on Tuesday.
Katonah-Lewisboro Superintendent of Schools, Paul Kreutzer, released a statement Tuesday afternoon saying that the district planned to open as scheduled. Lewisboro and Meadow Pond Elementary Schools and the middle and high school have no power.
“On a more positive note, Katonah Elementary School and Increase
Miller Elementary School, along with the District Offices, are operational and are currently being used by District staff to prepare for the opening of school,” said Kreutzer in a statement, which is posted on the district’s website.
The district has closed all buildings to the public through Tuesday, Sept. 6, which has led to the cancellation of the following activities:
- Kindergarten orientation
- New student orientation
- Teacher meetings
- Meetings with Guidance Counselors
- Student appointments
- Teacher training
- Other social events
Check back with Patch for updates to this story later in the week.
Update, 4:30 p.m. Aug. 30
Power is restored to the Katonah pool, and it will re-open to the public Aug. 31 at noon.
The pool house is available Tuesday from 4 p.m. – 7:45 p.m. for residents to take showers.
For the remainder of the week, pool house facilities are open:
Wednesday, August 31st
Thursday, September 1st
Friday, September 2nd
9am to 12pm– Open for Showers
12pm to 7pm– Pool open for swimming
7pm to 7:45pm– Open for showers
If residents have questions, they may call the recreation office at: 666-7004
Bedford Hills and Bedford Village pools remain closed due to lack of power.
First Story, 2 p.m.
If you stopped by Panera Bread in Bedford Hills Tuesday, you know an outlet is hard to come by. But now locals have another option—and you don’t need an iced coffee to keep your table.
Town Hall, at 321 Bedford Road in Bedford is now open to residents who want to charge up their computers and phones. Bedford Supervisor Lee Roberts sent an email alert to let folks now they can stop by for electricity, and water.
Residents are invited to bring containers to fill up with water which is being distributed at the court entrance.
The town also received 40 bags of dry ice which is now available at the Bedford Hills Park on Haines Road. Town officials are working securing additional supplies when that runs out.
Roberts expressed her hopes that residents would pull together in the hurricane aftermath.
“We should all be helping our neighbors, inviting them in for a shower, checking on seniors, sharing a meal outside together,” she said.
Earlier today, David Gabrielson, town councilman, told Patch that town officials and highway workers were working around the clock to clear roads.
Some residents have been critical of the town’s response to the storm.
Amy Drucker, a Katonah resident, posted this to the Bedford-Katonah Patch Facebook page:
“I’m very disappointed with communication from the town of Bedford and NYSEG…Ms. Roberts – keeping us informed (even with bad news) is vital for our decision making abilities.”
Since the storm occurred on Aug. 28, the town of Bedford has sent at least 5 emails through their subscription alert service (users sign up from the town’s website) with information from NYSEG regarding power restoration and road closures, and today’s electricty and water notice.
The Bedford police department has also sent at least 7 emails regarding road closures and hazards through its Nixle service.
The lights started coming on in Bedford Village Tuesday morning.
Dina Clayson and her staff were putting the merchandise back into window displays at Consider the Cook—they had taken it out before the hurricane to save new product from potentially being damaged in the storm. The store survived the storm, unscathed.
“We only lost one day of business, on Monday, but I don’t know how many people will be coming in today,” said Clayson, the shop’s owner. “We sold a lot of french presses before the storm though!”
Across the street at Bedford Gourmet, where the power had not yet returned, they weren’t so lucky.
“We lost thousands of dollars in food—just threw it all out,” said Debbie Franzese, co-ower of the shop. She and her partner Alex Walsh, opened up the store on Monday wihtout power, offering coffee and pastries al fresco. “We became a real meet and greet place for the village,” said Franzese. “People were so appreciative.”
Franzese lugged a 40-pound coffee grinder and 10 pound bag of coffee to Walsh’s house in Goldens Bridge—where power was restored—to grind beans to serve to the community. She said they would try to remain open without power, but were hopeful it would be restored soon.
The Meetinghouse Restaurant planned to open on time Tuesday evening, perhaps even a bit earlier. Their freezers were stocked with enough dry ice prior to the storm to preserve their product.
The Bedford Deli had not yet re-opened, and a note on their door said they were waiting for product deliveries on Wednesday to welcome customers back.
Without power, many businesses remained closed. But a few opened, serving customers in darkened stores.
Matty Fruchtman, who co-owns the Bedford Pharmacy with Gerald Griffiths, said the opened Monday and planned to be open 9 – 12 all week, or longer if power was restored.
“We are here to serve our customers, especially those who need medications,” she said. “We’re filling prescriptions and giving our regulars their meds. I’ve seen some customers who have said picked up their pills and said they were leaving the country for Europe.”
Next door at the Bedford Village Cleaners, Nunzio Tripoli was also open for pickups and drop-offs. “We have a plant in Pleasantville so we can remain open,” he said. But the shop does not offer wash and fold laundry services—some residents have gone down to laundromats in Mt. Kisco to clean clothes, he said.
Adam Schoelkopf, owner of Bedford Home and Hardware, was another local business owner who opened his doors without power.
“We just got a shipment in of gas cans, propane, chain saws and flashlights,” he said. The store’s clerks had filled up several pages of yellow legal pad with customer credit card numbers for processing later.
Doreen Rosenblatt of Bedford was inside, purchasing lanterns in anticipation of another dark evening at home. Though the store didn’t sell generators, she was already in touch with an electrician to purchase one for the future.
“I’d better get a generator, or a divorce,” she quipped, revealing the frustrations felt by many without power.
At first glance it appears to be a typo; Paul Allen’s private island is called … Allan Island? Someone must have messed up. However, according to The Seattle Times, the private plot of land off Anacortes, WA, was not named for the tech billionaire, but a Navy hero. Allen recently listed his private isle in the San Juans for $13.5 million.
Allen co-founded Microsoft alongside another Seattle billionaire, Bill Gates. Allen was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 1982 and during treatment, left the company. Although he no longer is an active member of the board, he still serves as an adviser to Microsoft and owns a reported 138 million shares. His net worth, according to Forbes, is $13 billion.
In addition to owning several sports teams — the Seattle Seahawks, Portland Trail Blazers, and part of the Seattle Sounders — plus one of the world’s largest yachts, Allen also holds a plethora of expensive real estate. He owns a huge compound on Mercer Island in Seattle composed of nearly 9 separate parcels that serves as his primary residence, as well as the former home of Rock Hudson in Beverly Hills, and an estate in Malibu.
In addition to Allan Island, Allen also owns another property in the San Juan Islands called the Sperry Peninsula, which is located on Lopez Island. He purchased the property in 1996 for $8 million. Allen never built up Allan Island, deciding instead to develop his place on Lopez.
This isn’t the first time Allen has listed the island. In 2005, he put it on the Anacortes real estate market for $25 million. Without any offers, the property was removed. It was re-listed in the middle of August with a significant decrease in its asking price: $13.5 million. Median Anacortes home values have been dropping, they are currently $235,200.
The 292-acre island is known for its wild animal sightings, in particular bald eagles, coyotes and harbor seals. Located southwest of Anacortes, the only sign of development on the rocky isle is a caretaker’s cabin powered by a generator near the sole dock and grassy airstrip. Allan Island is among a handful of private island homes for sale.
Besides breathtaking water views, Allan Island has views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, the Olympic Mountains and surrounding San Juan Islands.
The listing is held by Wally Gudgell of Windermere Real Estate.
Based on a 30-year fixed mortgage rate at a current rate of 4.140 percent and assuming a 20 percent down payment, the monthly mortgage payment for this home is $52,436 per month, as quoted on Zillow Mortgage Marketplace.

RIYADH: The unemployment rate among Saudis has dropped to its lowest level since records began in 1991.
It fell to 8 percent in the fourth quarter of 2022, from 9.9 percent in the previous three months, according to the General Authority for Statistics’ labor force survey.
The Kingdom has set itself a target unemployment rate of 7 percent by 2030.
The country’s overall employment rate, including non-citizens, fell to 4.8 percent in the final three months of 2022, from 5.8 percent the previous quarter, the General Authority for Statistics said in a statement.
“The impressive decrease in the unemployment rate resulted from a double effect of the decrease in labor force participation and at the same time the employment growth,” Gastat said in its report.
The overall unemployment rate includes foreign residents of the Kingdom, who comprised just over a third of the total population in 2021, the majority of whom need an employment contract to live there.
Job creation, especially for Saudi nationals, over 60 percent of whom are under the age of 35, is a key part of the ambitious economic agenda known as Vision 2030, spearheaded by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to cut reliance on oil.
Joblessness among Saudis fell 3 percentage points from 11 percent in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Workforce participation among female citizens is also on the rise. Unemployment among Saudi women dropped to 15.4 percent in the final three months of 2022 from 20.5 percent in the previous quarter, though their labor force participation rate fell 1 percentage point to 36 percent.
The labor force participation rate and the employment-to-population ratio of Saudi males increased to 65.7 percent and 68.5 percent, respectively.
Expansion of the non-oil private sector is a key pillar of Vision 2030, with a wide-ranging program of privatizations and other government-supported initiatives to spur growth.
The latest data showed that 94.1 percent of unemployed Saudis would accept jobs in the private sector, slightly higher than in the third quarter of 2022. Historically, the public sector has been the principal employer of Saudi citizens.
Moreover, 57.8 percent of unemployed Saudi females and 43.6 percent of unemployed Saudi males would accept a maximum commuting time to work of one hour.
Similarly, 73 percent of unemployed Saudi females and 89.1 percent of unemployed Saudi males indicated they would accept work for eight hours or more per day.

Even the most courageous dental patients can get a little weak in the knees at the thought of oral surgery. But you can’t afford to let your fears get the better of you. If oral surgery is recommended, there’s a good reason for it, and delaying the procedure may only result in more complicated problems in the future.
Comfortable Oral Surgery Techniques
However, you will be pleasantly surprised to know that the days of lengthy, uncomfortable procedures are over. The compassion and understanding of your dental team, paired with state-of-the-art technology and sedation techniques, allows most oral surgery procedures today to be performed efficiently. This means less discomfort and less time in the dental chair for you.
Good General Health is Important
In general, you should be in good oral health before undergoing oral surgery. As part of your comprehensive dental history, your dentist will already have a good picture of your general health. This should include medications you take or conditions that may require a special approach.
Gentle Sedation to Put You at Ease
Most dentists offer sedation like nitrous oxide to help you relax and drift off during your procedure. If your dentist prescribed a calming medication, you should take it about an hour before your appointment. With oral sedation, the medicine stays in your bloodstream for several hours, so you will need a friend to drive you to and from your appointment.
Please Call to Learn More
If you are facing oral surgery in Brentwood, TN, Sullivan Dental Partners is here to help. Our experienced team has the experience and skill necessary to perform efficient procedures and offers compassionate care to support you.

All right, this may not come as a big shock. But I'm a big fan of cartoons, especially Hanna-Barbera!
Whether it's Johnny Quest, Space Ghost, Yogi Bear, Laugh Olympics, Huckleberry Hound, Magilla Gorilla.....etc. My favorites were usually the adventure shows. There were a couple that would make an awesome pulp fiction campaign (or even Gamma World or Mutant Future campaign). Thundar the Barbarian and Galtar and the Golden Lance!
Thundar (1980) took place on Earth right after a comet passes too close to the planet. The moon is split in half and the Earth's ozone layer is destroyed. This causes mutants and magic to emerge, and the scene is set for high adventure! Thundar, along with Ookla the Mok (a mutant) and Princess Ariel (a sorceress) adventure throughout the dying Earth.
I used to look forward to this cartoon every Saturday morning! It still holds up today!
Galtar and the Golden Lance (1985) had a similar feel, in fact the mutant horses were of the same design, so I always imagined that they took place in the same fictional universe. This was more of a revenge story, Galtar is hunting and evil sorcerer named Tormack who was responsible for his parents deaths. He is joined by Princess Goleeta and her brother Zorn, and together they rid the planet of evil.
I'm not being overly nostalgic about these shows. After all it's only nostalgia if you're revisiting things you loved as a kid, I'm not revisiting anything, this is a daily walk through my life.
I think both series have a kind of Jack Vance/Lin Carter/Andre Norton kind of feel, and I think that both settings are great for any fantasy RPG!
Although it could also be the Coco Puffs talking!

This article discusses ways to assist women in assessing risk related to intimate partner violence cases.
Implications are drawn in this work as to innovative ways that women who are abused can be identified and, with skilled assessment of the danger in their relationship, helped in making more informed plans for their safety. The article notes that only approximately one-half of the 456 women who were killed or almost killed by a husband, boyfriend, or ex-husband or ex-boyfriend in a recent national study of homicide of women accurately perceived their risk of being killed by their abusive partner. Additionally, women were unlikely to overestimate their risk; however, many would underestimate the severity of the situation. From the same study, it was found that relatively few of the victims of actual or attempted intimate partner homicide were seen by domestic violence advocates during the year before they were killed; they were far more likely to be seen in the health care system. The descriptive data presented in this article are from a national 12 city study of risk factors for homicide in violent intimate relationships. Figure and references
