  • Weekly Notes 072817
    MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL WEEKLY NOTES FRIDAY, JULY 28, 2017 BLACKMON WORKING TOWARD HISTORIC SEASON On Sunday afternoon against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Coors Field, Colorado Rockies All-Star outfi elder Charlie Blackmon went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored and his 24th home run of the season. With the round-tripper, Blackmon recorded his 57th extra-base hit on the season, which include 20 doubles, 13 triples and his aforementioned 24 home runs. Pacing the Majors in triples, Blackmon trails only his teammate, All-Star Nolan Arenado for the most extra-base hits (60) in the Majors. Blackmon is looking to become the fi rst Major League player to log at least 20 doubles, 20 triples and 20 home runs in a single season since Curtis Granderson (38-23-23) and Jimmy Rollins (38-20-30) both accomplished the feat during the 2007 season. Since 1901, there have only been seven 20-20-20 players, including Granderson, Rollins, Hall of Famers George Brett (1979) and Willie Mays (1957), Jeff Heath (1941), Hall of Famer Jim Bottomley (1928) and Frank Schulte, who did so during his MVP-winning 1911 season. Charlie would become the fi rst Rockies player in franchise history to post such a season. If the season were to end today, Blackmon’s extra-base hit line (20-13-24) has only been replicated by 34 diff erent players in MLB history with Rollins’ 2007 season being the most recent. It is the fi rst stat line of its kind in Rockies franchise history. Hall of Famer Lou Gehrig is the only player in history to post such a line in four seasons (1927-28, 30-31).

Jean-Charles Vegliante Soutenue le 13 décembre 2014 Devant un jury composé de : Mme. Isabelle Felici (Université Paul Valéry Montpellier 3) M. Hervé Le Corre (Université Sorbonne Nouvelle-Paris 3) M. Jean-Charles Vegliante (Université Sorbonne Nouvelle-Paris 3) M. Gérard Vittori (Université Rennes 2) 1 Une identité problématique : cittadinanza, nazionalità et italianità parmi les Italo-descendants en Argentine et au Brésil RÉSUMÉ Selon la législation italienne, est Italien le fils ou la fille d’un citoyen italien. Cette transmission de la cittadinanza par droit du sang remonte à l’aube de l’Unité italienne, dans les années 1860, et à un contexte d’émigration massive, en particulier vers l’Amérique Latine. En légiférant de la sorte, les parlementaires du tout jeune Royaume d’Italie souhaitaient maintenir un lien fort avec la population émigrée dans le monde entier, pour l’intégrer, sur le principe de la nazionalità, à la construction de la nation italienne. Depuis, la loi n’a que très peu changé, tandis que l’Italie s’est transformée de pays d’émigration en pays d’immigration. Entre-temps, les émigrés italiens se sont intégrés à leurs pays d’accueil et leurs descendants, qui sont donc légalement aussi des citoyens italiens, sont encore considérés par les parlementaires italiens comme une véritable ressource pour l’Italie : ils joueraient ainsi le rôle d’ambassadeurs d’italianità, contribuant au prestige de l’Italie à travers la diffusion de la langue, de la culture, et des produits de consommation italiens.

  • Don't Decriminalize Weed, Legalize It (Canadian Pot
    Don’t Decriminalize Weed, Legalize It (Canadian Pot Politics) By Cotey Paterson In July of this year, Justin Trudeau, the leader of the federal Liberal Party of Canada, came out in support of cannabis legalization. Trudeau said he’s “not in favour of decriminalizing” cannabis, he’s “in favour of legalizing it”. Trudeau supports taxation and regulation, saying “it’s one of the only ways to keep it [cannabis] out of the hands of our kids because the current war on drugs, the current model isn’t working". Trudeau did not keep it safe by using the weasel-word 'decriminalization', which would keep the black market unharmed while creating uncertainty in the law. Instead, he had the courage to say what a majority of Canadians know: the laws prohibiting cannabis do more harm to users and society than the drug itself. We need to make it known that Canadians support Trudeau’s courageous position. One easy way to do that is by signing the petition to legalize cannabis on the Liberal Party of Canada’s website. It currently has more than 22,000 signatures, but with millions of Canadian cannabis users, there should be many more people willing to take a few minutes to show their support and possibly impact Canada’s drug laws. Trudeau’s pot remarks have been well-received by most – but in the past, he has expressed fears about the danger cannabis poses to society. Additionally, in 2009, Trudeau and other Liberal MPs voted for Bill C-15, which would have imposed mandatory minimum sentences for cannabis-related offences.

    News Video Music Politics TV Movies Video Games RS Country More Justin Trudeau: Is the Opeth's Mikael Ronnie James Dio TRENDING Canadian Prime Akerfeldt: My 10 Hologram Plots World Minister the Free... Favorite Metal Albums Tour Justin Trudeau: The North Star He was raised in jet-set privilege but overcame tragedy to become Canada's prime minister. Is he the free world's best hope? By Stephen Rodrick Michael Kappeler/ZUMA Let's begin by synchronizing our watches. We are in the Eastern time zone. The legislative session is over, and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is about to give his wrap-up press conference. The reporters trudge into the gallery, grumbling, as reporters like to do, about trac and editors. Someone gives the "10 seconds" signal, and Trudeau strides to the podium. He gives a nod and starts ticking o his accomplishments. The rst is self-praise for cutting taxes on the middle class and raising them on the one percent. "We've given nine out of 10 families more money each month to help with the costs of raising their kids," Trudeau says. RELATED Canada's Legal Weed: What You Need to Know Justin Trudeau introduced a bill that would make marijuana legal – but what will that look like, and what will it mean for the U.S.? It's strange to witness: He speaks in a modulated, indoor voice. His dark hair is a color found in nature. At home, there is a glamorous wife and three photogenic children, still not old enough to warm his seat at next week's G-20 summit or be involved in an espionage scandal.
