October is the tenth month of the year on the Gregorian calendar and one of seven months with 31 days. October’s name, containing the Latin word octo, refers to its ancient place as the eighth month in the Roman calendar, before January and February were added to fill out the winter period. October is usually considered to be the height of autumn; the Slavic people call it “yellow month,” referring to the fading colors of the leaves. The First Winter Moon October Birthdays In the Old English or Anglo-Saxon calendar, Donna Karan (designer) – October 2, 1948 the year was split into two seasons rather than Chubby Checker (singer) – October 3, 1941 four. They simply divided the year between Susan Sarandon (actress) – October 4, 1946 the months with days that were longer than Kate Winslet (actress) – October 5, 1975 the nights (summer) and those with less daylight (winter). In this tradition, October Elisabeth Shue (actress) – October 6, 1963 was designated the first month of winter and Simon Cowell (TV host) – October 7, 1959 was called Winterfylleth or “fullness of winter,” John Lennon (musician) – October 9, 1940 as it also had the first winter full moon.

Please do not let your guard down, as more people are out and about. Your goal and ours for you, is to stay in optimal health!

Hines Executive Director Page 4 COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENTS October 2020 PAUL’S RUN GRATEFULLY ACKNOWLEDGES THE FOLLOWING TRIBUTE GIFTS IN MEMORY OF: Florence Milewski From: Ms. Rita M. McMonagle IN CELEBRATION OF: Sylvia Weinfeld By Mr. Ari Katz Page 5 MUSIC THERAPY NOTES October 2020 Technology has the power to both bring us together and drive us further apart. In a time when we are more separated than ever before from our loved ones and friends, technology often serves as the tool that brings us together. Using Zoom and other video conferencing platforms, we have been able to attend weddings, bat mitzvahs, graduations and other important life milestones from the safety of our homes. I am proud to serve a clinical training site for music therapy students from Temple and Drexel University. Working within our community, students have the opportunity to share their talents, grow their clinical skills, and develop relationships with residents. However, with COVID-19 and visitor restrictions, clinical training has had to adapt. Instead of in person, students will be joining our community virtually this semester. I am excited to introduce two Temple music therapy students: Lauren Carter and Jingxiang (Shawn) Yi. Lauren Carter Jingxiang (Shawn) Yi Lauren is an undergraduate student, while Shawn is a graduate student. If you attend Music & Memories on Wednesdays at 1:15pm, you may notice them on the big screen in the auditorium and have the opportunity to introduce yourself. Technology is a marvel. I’m beyond excited to explore all the ways it can be creatively incorporated to expand/improve programming. I am thinking of each of you. Wear your mask. Wash your hands. Social distance. Stay well. I wish you the best! Musically, Molly Page 6 RESIDENT MONTHLY ARTICLES October 2020 WHAT KIND OF WORLD DO WE WANT TO LEAVE BEHIND? From: Sr. Franceline Malone I have recently been rereading Laudato Si by Pope Francis. "Why are you here?" kept coming to me in prayer. In Chapter 4, Pope Francis poses the questions, "When we ask ourselves what kind of world we want to leave behind, we think in the first place of its general direction, its meaning and its values..... Why are we here………………What need does the earth have of us?" Pope Francis reminds us, "Leaving an inhabitable planet to future generations is, first and foremost, up to us." He reflects on the problems of our postmodern world that often connect to individualism, wasteful consumption, and lack of concern for those excluded from development. "The world is a gift which we have freely received and must share with others." In justice, "the world we received also belongs to those who will follow us." What are some of the problem facing today's world? Climate change causing fires, floods, destroyed homes; lack of affordable housing; traffic congestion in our cities; pollution; stress leading to violence; extreme poverty in some parts of our planet, even in our U.S.A.; pandemics flaring up every couple of years; distrust.... What can we at Pauls Run do about those problems, we who are blessed by having comfortable apartments, nourishing meals, friendly neighbors, medical care, our religious, cultural and racial identities respected? Page 7 RESIDENT MONTHLY ARTICLES October 2020 What Kind of World Do We Want To Leave Behind? continued Thinking about "Human Ecology" may help us to focus.

  • Al Brancato This Article Was Written by David E
    Al Brancato This article was written by David E. Skelton The fractured skull Philadelphia Athletics shortstop Skeeter Newsome suffered on April 9, 1938 left a gaping hole in the club’s defense. Ten players, including Newsome after he recovered, attempted to fill the void through the 1939 season. One was Al Brancato, a 20- year-old September call-up from Class-A ball who had never played shortstop professionally. Enticed by the youngster’s cannon right arm, Athletics manager Connie Mack moved him from third base to short in 1940. On June 21, after watching Brancato retire Chicago White Sox great Luke Appling on a hard-hit grounder, Mack exclaimed, “There’s no telling how good that boy is going to be.”1 Though no one in the organization expected the diminutive (5-feet-nine and 188 pounds) Philadelphia native’s offense to cause fans to forget former Athletics infield greats Home Run Baker or Eddie Collins, the club was satisfied that Brancato could fill in defensively. “You keep on fielding the way you are and I’ll do the worrying about your hitting,” Mack told Brancato in May 1941.2 Ironically, the youngster’s defensive skills would fail him before the season ended. In September, as the club spiraled to its eighth straight losing season, “baseball’s grand old gentleman” lashed out. “The infielders—[Benny] McCoy, Brancato and [Pete] Suder—are terrible,” Mack grumbled. “They have hit bottom. Suder is so slow it is painful to watch him; Brancato is erratic and McCoy is—oh, he’s just McCoy, that’s all.” 3 After the season ended Brancato enlisted in the US Navy following the country’s entry into the Second World War.

(2008) "Estimated Age Effects in Baseball," Journal of Quantitative Analysis in Sports: Vol. 4: Iss. 1, Article 1. DOI: 10.2202/1559-0410.1074 ©2008 American Statistical Association. All rights reserved. Brought to you by | Yale University Library New Haven (Yale University Library New Haven) Authenticated | 172.16.1.226 Download Date | 3/28/12 11:34 PM Estimated Age Effects in Baseball Ray C. Fair Abstract Age effects in baseball are estimated in this paper using a nonlinear fixed-effects regression. The sample consists of all players who have played 10 or more "full-time" years in the major leagues between 1921 and 2004. Quadratic improvement is assumed up to a peak-performance age, which is estimated, and then quadratic decline after that, where the two quadratics need not be the same. Each player has his own constant term. The results show that aging effects are larger for pitchers than for batters and larger for baseball than for track and field, running, and swimming events and for chess. There is some evidence that decline rates in baseball have decreased slightly in the more recent period, but they are still generally larger than those for the other events. There are 18 batters out of the sample of 441 whose performances in the second half of their careers noticeably exceed what the model predicts they should have been. All but 3 of these players played from 1990 on.
