Sergio Mitre

Sergio Armando Mitre (born February 16, 1981) is a Mexican-American convicted felon and former professional baseball pitcher. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Chicago Cubs, Florida Marlins, Milwaukee Brewers, and New York Yankees. In 2022, he was sentenced to 50 years in prison by Mexican authorities for the murder of his then-girlfriend's 22-month-old daughter.

Early life
Mitre is of Mexican American descent. He grew up in Tijuana, Mexico, where he trained in the arts of kenpo, boxing, and wrestling due to frequent street fights.

Mitre was a starting pitcher during his amateur career. He graduated from Montgomery High School in San Diego, California in 1999. He then attended San Diego City College.

Chicago Cubs
Mitre was the Chicago Cubs' 7th-round selection in the 2001 Major League Baseball Draft out of San Diego City College. He was the second player out of the 2001 draft to make it to the majors with the Cubs, the first being Mark Prior. His first stop through the minors was the Boise Hawks in the Short Season Northwest League, where he pitched alongside Dontrelle Willis. In 2002, he played for the Lansing Lugnuts in the Class-A Midwest League, pitching to a 2.83 ERA in 168.2 innings.

He started the 2003 season in Double-A with the West Tennessee Diamond Jaxx, compiling a 6–7 record with a 3.79 ERA in 18 starts. Mitre led the team in innings pitched (109.1) and strikeouts (98). He was promoted to the majors on July 22 in order to start in place of the injured Prior. He allowed eight runs on 10 hits in just 3.2 innings that day and was optioned back to the minors. He made two more appearances that year for the Cubs, including a spot start on the last day of the season.

In 2004, Mitre started out the season on the Opening Day roster, filling in for the injured Mark Prior. He pitched to a 6.51 ERA through nine starts before being sent down to the Triple-A Iowa Cubs after Prior came back from injury. On August 13, 2004, Mitre pitched a complete game shutout against the Albuquerque Isotopes. He allowed a double and a walk in the first inning of the game, then sat down 23 straight batters, striking out nine. For his effort, Mitre was named the Pacific Coast League's Player of the Week. He returned to the majors in September and pitched out of the bullpen, finishing the season with a 2–4 record and 6.62 ERA in 12 games.

Mitre began the 2005 season in Triple-A. Mitre returned to the majors on May 24 to make a spot start when Kerry Wood was placed on the disabled list. He had two strong starts during his stint in the rotation. On June 8, Mitre out-pitched Roy Halladay in a 2–0 win over the Toronto Blue Jays, allowing two hits and a walk, while striking out six in seven innings. On June 14, 2005, he threw a five-hit complete game shutout in a 14–0 victory over the Florida Marlins and Josh Beckett. However, he was removed from the rotation after pitching to a 5.19 ERA in seven starts. Mitre pitched another 17 innings out of the bullpen for the Cubs that season, allowing 11 runs on 20 hits.

Florida Marlins
On December 7, 2005, Mitre and minor league pitchers Ricky Nolasco and Renyel Pinto were traded to the Florida Marlins for Juan Pierre. He started the 2006 season in the Marlins rotation, pitching to a 4.89 ERA in seven starts. On May 12, he threw just three pitches before leaving the game with shoulder discomfort. Mitre was placed on the 15-day disabled list with shoulder inflammation. He was later moved to the 60-day DL, and stayed there through August. After returning to pitch out of the bullpen, he experienced more inflammation eight games later and was shut down once again.

He started the 2007 season in the Marlins rotation, setting career bests in games played (27), starts (27), innings (149), and strikeouts (80). From May 20 to June 15, Mitre did not allow an earned run over 24.2 consecutive innings. He missed time with a blister in April and a sore hamstring in June.

Mitre started the 2008 season on the disabled list with a forearm strain. He initially attempted to rehab the injury, but ultimately underwent Tommy John ligament replacement surgery on July 15 and was expected to miss 12–18 months. The Marlins decided to release him at the end of the season.

New York Yankees
On November 3, Mitre signed a one-year minor league contract with the New York Yankees with an option for 2010. Mitre was suspended for the first 50 games of the 2009 season after testing positive for androstenedione in August 2008. Mitre said the androstenedione came from a contaminated legal supplement purchased from GNC, but took full responsibility for his actions. He served his suspension while still on the disabled list from last year's Tommy John surgery. Mitre pitched to a 2.40 ERA in seven starts for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Yankees in Triple-A before he was called up to start against the Baltimore Orioles on July 21. In total, he had a 6.79 ERA across 12 appearances (nine starts) that season. The Yankees declined their option on him after the season.

In January 2010, the Yankees re-signed him to a deal that avoided arbitration. He hit the disabled list with an oblique strain on June 5 and didn't return until July 24 when he started in place of the injured Andy Pettitte. That day, he allowed five runs on seven hits in 4.1 innings against the Kansas City Royals and was relieved by Dustin Moseley, who pitched 4.2 scoreless innings. For the next turn in the rotation, the Yankees used Moseley as a starter and Mitre was moved to the bullpen. He recorded his first career save on August 19, pitching the last three innings of a 11–5 win over the Detroit Tigers. Mitre pitched well out of the bullpen, compiling a 2.55 ERA in 24.2 innings, and was added to the Yankees postseason roster. His only playing time came during the American League Championship Series against the Texas Rangers, when he made three appearances in mop-up duty. He allowed home runs to Josh Hamilton and Nelson Cruz in the 9th inning of Game 4.

Milwaukee Brewers
On March 25, 2011, Mitre was traded to the Milwaukee Brewers for Chris Dickerson. He was designated for assignment on June 27, after posting a 3.27 ERA in 33 innings.

New York Yankees (second stint)
On June 29, 2011, Mitre was traded back to the New York Yankees in exchange for cash considerations. On July 19, he was placed on the 15-day disabled list with inflammation in his right shoulder. In four games with the Yankees, he posted an 11.81 ERA. He became a free agent following the season on October 30.

Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles
Mitre dealt with multiple injuries, including nerve damage in his back, that brought his MLB career to an end. In 2014, Mitre signed with the Rakuten Golden Eagles of Nippon Professional Baseball. He became a free agent following the season without appearing in a game for the team.

Bravos de León
On April 29, 2017, Mitre came out of retirement and signed with the Bravos de León of the Mexican Baseball League. In 4 starts 23 innings he went 2-1 with a 2.74 ERA and 13 strikeouts.

Toros de Tijuana
On July 9, 2017, Mitre was traded to the Toros de Tijuana in 5 games (4 starts) 29.1 innings he went 3-2 with a 3.38 ERA and 11 strikeouts. He was the team's opening day starter in 2018. He was released from the organization on July 26, 2018, after appearing in 3 games (1 start) 5 innings he went 0-0 with a 5.40 ERA and 5 strikeouts.

Team Mexico
He played for Team Mexico in the 2018 Caribbean Series, collecting six hits in Mexico's 8–1 victory over the Dominican Republic.

Tecolotes de los Dos Laredos
On April 3, 2019, Mitre signed with the Tecolotes de los Dos Laredos of the Mexican League. He was released on May 9. In 6 starts 29.1 innings he went 3-2 with a 7.36 ERA and 20 strikeouts.

Saraperos de Saltillo
On May 14, 2019, Mitre signed with the Saraperos de Saltillo of the Mexican League. In 14 games (13 starts) he threw 74 innings going 9-3 with a 5.59 ERA and 43 strikeouts.

Personal life
He has a son named Sam (Sergio Armando Mitre III), who was born in 2006, and a daughter named Senya, who was born in 2009.

Mitre started Playmakers, a free youth baseball clinic for children in Chula Vista and National City.

2019 domestic violence arrest
On September 1, 2019, while playing for the Saraperos de Saltillo of the Mexican League, Mitre was arrested on suspicion of assaulting a woman, after employees at a Quality Inn in Saltillo alerted authorities of a domestic violence situation taking place inside a suite. Following his arrest, the Saraperos owner denounced Mitre's actions, and he was later suspended indefinitely by the team. Mitre avoided jail time by paying a fine of 20,000 pesos.

2020 murder
On July 13, 2020, Mitre was arrested in Saltillo for possession of marijuana. On July 14, Mitre was charged with femicide and aggravated statutory rape over the death and possible sexual assault of his girlfriend's daughter; he was booked into the Saltillo Prison. After the charges were announced, Mitre was released by the Saraperos and suspended indefinitely by the Mexican League. The statutory rape charges were later dropped after evidence showed the girl was not sexually assaulted.

On January 20, 2022, Mitre was sentenced to 50 years in prison after being convicted in Mexico for femicide in the murder of his then-girlfriend's 22-month-old daughter. He was also ordered to issue a public apology, and pay a MX$1,379,500 penalty for damages caused by his actions. Following the sentencing, Mitre's lawyers announced he would be appealing the conviction.

Photoperiodism

Photoperiod is the change of day length around the seasons. The rotation of the earth around its axis produces 24 hour changes in light (day) and dark (night) cycles on earth. The length of the light and dark in each phase varies across the seasons due to the tilt of the earth around its axis. The photoperiod defines the length of the light, for example a summer day the length of light could be 16 hours while the dark is 8 hours, whereas a winter day the length of day could be 8 hours, whereas the dark is 16 hours. Importantly, the seasons are different in the northern hemisphere than the southern hemisphere.

Photoperiodism is the physiological reaction of organisms to the length of light or a dark period. It occurs in plants and animals. Plant photoperiodism can also be defined as the developmental responses of plants to the relative lengths of light and dark periods. They are classified under three groups according to the photoperiods: short-day plants, long-day plants, and day-neutral plants.

In animals photoperiodism (sometimes called seasonality) is the suite of physiological changes that occur in response to changes in day length. This allows animals to respond to a temporally changing environment associated with changing seasons as the earth orbits the sun.

Plants

In 1920, W. W. Garner and H. A. Allard published their discoveries on photoperiodism and felt it was the length of daylight that was critical, but it was later discovered that the length of the night was the controlling factor. Photoperiodic flowering plants are classified as long-day plants or short-day plants even though night is the critical factor because of the initial misunderstanding about daylight being the controlling factor. Along with long-day plants and short-day plants, there are plants that fall into a "dual-day length category". These plants are either long-short-day plants (LSDP) or short-long-day plants (SLDP). LSDPs flower after a series of long days followed by short days whereas SLDPs flower after a series of short days followed by long days. Each plant has a different length critical photoperiod, or critical night length.

Many flowering plants (angiosperms) use a circadian rhythm together with photoreceptor protein, such as phytochrome or cryptochrome, to sense seasonal changes in night length, or photoperiod, which they take as signals to flower. In a further subdivision, obligate photoperiodic plants absolutely require a long or short enough night before flowering, whereas facultative photoperiodic plants are more likely to flower under one condition.

Phytochrome comes in two forms: Pr and Pfr. Red light (which is present during the day) converts phytochrome to its active form (Pfr) which then stimulates various processes such as germination, flowering or branching. In comparison, plants receive more far-red in the shade, and this converts phytochrome from Pfr to its inactive form, Pr, inhibiting germination. This system of Pfr to Pr conversion allows the plant to sense when it is night and when it is day. Pfr can also be converted back to Pr by a process known as dark reversion, where long periods of darkness trigger the conversion of Pfr. This is important in regards to plant flowering. Experiments by Halliday et al. showed that manipulations of the red-to far-red ratio in Arabidopsis can alter flowering. They discovered that plants tend to flower later when exposed to more red light, proving that red light is inhibitory to flowering. Other experiments have proven this by exposing plants to extra red-light in the middle of the night. A short-day plant will not flower if light is turned on for a few minutes in the middle of the night and a long-day plant can flower if exposed to more red-light in the middle of the night.

Cryptochromes are another type of photoreceptor that is important in photoperiodism. Cryptochromes absorb blue light and UV-A. Cryptochromes entrain the circadian clock to light. It has been found that both cryptochrome and phytochrome abundance relies on light and the amount of cryptochrome can change depending on day-length. This shows how important both of the photoreceptors are in regards to determining day-length.

Modern biologists believe that it is the coincidence of the active forms of phytochrome or cryptochrome, created by light during the daytime, with the rhythms of the circadian clock that allows plants to measure the length of the night. Other than flowering, photoperiodism in plants includes the growth of stems or roots during certain seasons and the loss of leaves. Artificial lighting can be used to induce extra-long days.

Long-day plants
Long-day plants flower when the night length falls below their critical photoperiod. These plants typically flower during late spring or early summer as days are getting longer. In the northern hemisphere, the longest day of the year (summer solstice) is on or about 21 June. After that date, days grow shorter (i.e. nights grow longer) until 21 December (the winter solstice). This situation is reversed in the southern hemisphere (i.e., longest day is 21 December and shortest day is 21 June).

Some long-day obligate plants are:
 * Carnation (Dianthus)
 * Henbane (Hyoscyamus)
 * Oat (Avena)

Some long-day facultative plants are:
 * Pea (''Pisum sativum)
 * Barley (Hordeum vulgare)
 * Lettuce (Lactuca sativa)
 * Wheat (Triticum aestivum)

Short-day plants

Short-day (also called long-night) plants flower when the night lengths exceed their critical photoperiod. They cannot flower under short nights or if a pulse of artificial light is shone on the plant for several minutes during the night; they require a continuous period of darkness before floral development can begin. Natural nighttime light, such as moonlight or lightning, is not of sufficient brightness or duration to interrupt flowering.

Short-day plants flower as days grow shorter (and nights grow longer) after 21 June in the northern hemisphere, which is during summer or fall. The length of the dark period required to induce flowering differs among species and varieties of a species.

Photoperiodism affects flowering by inducing the shoot to produce floral buds instead of leaves and lateral buds.

Some short-day facultative plants are:

 * Kenaf ( Hibiscus cannabinus)
 * Marijuana (Cannabis)
 * Cotton (Gossypium)
 * Rice (Oryza)
 * Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor)
 * Green gram (Mung bean, Vigna radiata)
 * Soybeans (Glycine max)

Day-neutral plants
Day-neutral plants, such as cucumbers, roses, tomatoes, and Ruderalis (autoflowering cannabis) do not initiate flowering based on photoperiodism. Instead, they may initiate flowering after attaining a certain overall developmental stage or age, or in response to alternative environmental stimuli, such as vernalisation (a period of low temperature).

Animals
Daylength, and thus knowledge of the season of the year, is vital to many animals. A number of biological and behavioural changes are dependent on this knowledge. Together with temperature changes, photoperiod provokes changes in the color of fur and feathers, migration, entry into hibernation, sexual behaviour, and even the resizing of organs.

In insects, sensitivity to photoperiod has been proven to be initiated by photoreceptors located in the brain. Photoperiod can affect insects at different life stages, serving as an environmental cue for physiological processes such as diapause induction and termination, and seasonal morphs. In the water strider Aquarius paludum, for instance, photoperiod conditions during nymphal development have been shown to trigger seasonal changes in wing frequency and also induce diapause, although the threshold critical day lengths for the determination of both traits diverged by about an hour. In Gerris buenoi, another water strider species, photoperiod has also been shown to be the cause of wing polyphenism, although the specific daylengths changed between species, suggesting that phenotypic plasticity in response to photoperiod has evolved even between relatively closely related species.

The singing frequency of birds such as the canary depends on the photoperiod. In the spring, when the photoperiod increases (more daylight), the male canary's testes grow. As the testes grow, more androgens are secreted and song frequency increases. During autumn, when the photoperiod decreases (less daylight), the male canary's testes regress and androgen levels drop dramatically, resulting in decreased singing frequency. Not only is singing frequency dependent on the photoperiod but the song repertoire is also. The long photoperiod of spring results in a greater song repertoire. Autumn's shorter photoperiod results in a reduction in song repertoire. These behavioral photoperiod changes in male canaries are caused by changes in the song center of the brain. As the photoperiod increases, the high vocal center (HVC) and the robust nucleus of the archistriatum (RA) increase in size. When the photoperiod decreases, these areas of the brain regress.

Mammals
In mammals, daylength is registered in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), which is informed by retinal light-sensitive ganglion cells, which are not involved in vision. The information travels through the retinohypothalamic tract (RHT). In most species the hormone melatonin is produced by the pineal gland only during the hours of darkness, influenced by the light input through the RHT and by innate circadian rhythms. This hormonal signal, combined with outputs from the SCN inform the rest of the body about the time of day, and the length of time that melatonin is secreted is how the time of year is perceived.

Many mammals, particularly those inhabiting temperate and polar regions, exhibit a remarkable degree of seasonality in response to changes in daylight hours(photoperiod). This seasonality manifests in a broad spectrum of behaviors and physiology, including hibernation, seasonal migrations, and coat color changes. A prime example of the adaptation to photoperiods is the seasonal coat color (SCC) species. These animals undergo molting, transforming from dark summer fur to white coat in winter, that provides crucial camouflage in snowy environments.

Humans
The view has been expressed that humans' seasonality is largely believed to be evolutionary baggage. . Human birth rate varies throughout the year, and the peak month of births appears to vary by latitude. Seasonality in human birth rate appears to have largely decreased since the industrial revolution.

Other organisms
Photoperiodism has also been demonstrated in other organisms besides plants and animals. The fungus Neurospora crassa as well as the dinoflagellate Lingulodinium polyedra and the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii have been shown to display photoperiodic responses.

Jam session

A jam session is a relatively informal musical event, process, or activity where musicians, typically instrumentalists, play improvised solos and vamp over tunes, drones, songs, and chord progressions. To "jam" is to improvise music without extensive preparation or predefined arrangements, except for when the group is playing well-known jazz standards or covers of existing popular songs. Original jam sessions, also called "free flow sessions," are often used by musicians to develop new material (music) and find suitable arrangements. Both styles can be used simply as a social gathering and communal practice session. Jam sessions may be based upon existing songs or forms, may be loosely based on an agreed chord progression or chart suggested by one participant, or may be wholly improvisational. Jam sessions can range from very loose gatherings of amateurs to evenings where a jam session coordinator or host acts as a "gatekeeper" so that appropriate-level performers take the stage to sophisticated improvised recording sessions by professionals which are intended to be broadcast live on radio or TV or edited and released to the public.

Jazz
One source for the phrase "jam session" came about in the 1920s when white and black musicians would congregate after their regular paying gigs to play the jazz they could not play in the "Paul Whiteman" style bands they played in. When Bing Crosby attended these sessions, the musicians would say he was "jammin' the beat," since he would clap on the one and the three. Thus these sessions became known as "jam sessions." Mezz Mezzrow also gives this more detailed and self-referential description, based on his experience at the jazz speakeasy known as the Three Deuces:

"I think the term 'jam session' originated right in that cellar. Long before that, of course, the colored boys used to get together and play for kicks, but those were mostly private sessions, strictly for professional musicians, and the idea was usually to try to cut each other, each one trying to outdo the others and prove himself best. Those impromptu concerts of theirs were generally known as 'cuttin' contests.' Our idea…was to play together, to make the improvisation really collective… Down in that basement concert hall, somebody was always yelling over to me, 'Hey Jelly, what you gonna do?'—they gave me that nickname, or sometimes called me Roll, because I always wanted to play Clarence Williams' '(I Ain't Gonna Give Nobody None O' This) Jelly Roll'—and almost every time I'd cap them with, 'Jelly's gonna jam some now,' just as a kind of play on words.  We always used the word 'session' a lot, and I think the expression 'jam session' grew up out of this playful yelling back and forth."

The New York scene during World War II was famous for its after-hours jam sessions. One of the most famous was the regular after-hours jam at Minton's Playhouse in New York City that ran in the 1940s and early 1950s. The jam sessions at Minton's were a fertile meeting place and proving ground for both established soloists like Ben Webster and Lester Young as well as the younger jazz musicians who would soon become leading exponents of the bebop movement, including Thelonious Monk (Minton's house pianist), saxophone player Charlie Parker, and trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie. The Minton's jams had competitive "cutting contests," in which soloists would try to keep up with the house band and outdo each other in improvisational skill.

Afro-Cuban music
Influenced by jazz, Cuban music saw the emergence of improvised jam sessions during the filin movement of the 1940s, where boleros, sones and other song types were performed in an extended form called descarga. During the 1950s these descargas became the basis of a new genre of improvised jams based on the son montuno with notable jazz influences pioneered by the likes of Julio Gutiérrez and Cachao. During the 1960s, descargas played an important role in the development of salsa, especially the salsa dura style.

Rock
As the instrumental proficiency of rock musicians improved in the 1960s and early 1970s, onstage jamming—free improvisation—also became a regular feature of rock music; bands such as Pink Floyd, Cream, The Rolling Stones, the Jimi Hendrix Experience, Deep Purple, The Who, the Grateful Dead, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Santana, King Crimson, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Steely Dan, and the Allman Brothers Band would feature live improvised performances that could last 10 to 20 minutes or longer.

In this context, jams are not casual congregations, but rather improvised portions of rehearsed public set lists.

Jam bands
The Grateful Dead are often credited as being the first jam band, dating back as early as 1965 providing freeform improvisation at the Acid Tests put on by the Merry Pranksters. Other bands in the late '60s incorporated live jam techniques like Cream yet the Grateful Dead and the Allman Brothers allowed the "jam band" to become a genre unto itself; more recent bands following in their steps include Phish, moe., Umphreys Mcgee, and Widespread Panic, all of which feature extended improvisational sessions. Other bands, such as the Red Hot Chili Peppers also regularly perform live jam sessions.

Bluegrass
Bluegrass music also features a tradition of jamming. Bluegrass jams happen in the parking lots and campgrounds of bluegrass festivals, in music stores, bars and restaurants and on stages. Bluegrass jams tend to be segregated by the skill level of the players. Slow jams for beginners provide an entry point. Open bluegrass jams are open to all comers, but the players in an open jam will expect a certain level of proficiency from participants. The abilities to hear chord progressions and keep time are essential, and the ability to play improvised leads that contain at least a suggestion of the melody is desirable. Jams that require advanced musical proficiency are generally private events, by invitation only.

Soulquarians
Members of the Soulquarians, an alternative-minded black music collective active from the late 1990s to the early 2000s, held jam sessions while recording their respective albums at Electric Lady Studios. This began in 1997 when the singer D'Angelo and the drummer-producer Questlove (of The Roots) prepared to record the former's Voodoo (2000) album at the studio. Their sessions there over the next five years resulted in the Roots' albums Things Fall Apart (1999) and Phrenology (2002), singer Erykah Badu's second album Mama's Gun (2000), rapper Common's albums Like Water for Chocolate (2000) and Electric Circus (2002), and singer Bilal's debut album 1st Born Second. Badu has said that "just about everything from [Mama's Gun] was a jam."

According to music journalist Michael Gonzales, their sessions were marked by an experimentation with "dirty soul, muddy water blues, Black Ark dub science, mix-master madness, screeching guitars, old school hip-hop, gutbucket romanticism, inspired lyricism, African chats and aesthetics, pimpin' politics, strange Moogs, Kraftwerk synths and spacey noise." The musical approach also influenced the collective's associated musicians, including rapper Mos Def's Black on Both Sides (1999), singer Res's How I Do (2001), and rapper Talib Kweli's Quality (2002).

Bilal held improvisatory jam sessions while recording his second album, Love for Sale, at Electric Lady, although its experimental direction alienated his label from releasing it, and a subsequent leak led to its indefinite shelving. Common's similarly experimental Electric Circus sold disappointingly, which discouraged MCA Records, Common and the Roots' label, from letting the artistically-free environment at the studio to continue.

In 2018, leading up to the Grammy Awards, the Roots used their four-day residency at the Gramercy Theatre in New York to "revive a long tradition of jam-session concerts with unannounced special guests," including Common, Big K.R.I.T., Wyclef Jean, Roxanne Shanté, Gary Clark Jr., and Mtume.

Something Wicca This Way Comes

"Something Wicca This Way Comes" is the first episode of the television series Charmed. Written by series creator and executive producer Constance M. Burge and directed by John T. Kretchmer, it was first broadcast in the United States on The WB on October 7, 1998. "Something Wicca This Way Comes" was the highest-rated episode of Charmed in the entire series. It was watched by 7.7 million viewers and broke the record for the highest-rated premiere episode in The WB's history, being later surpassed by the pilot episode of Smallville.

The series focuses on the lives of three Halliwell sisters, known as the Charmed Ones: Prue (Shannen Doherty), Piper (Holly Marie Combs) and Phoebe Halliwell (Alyssa Milano), as they deal with their grandmother's death and learn that they inherited a little more than the house they grew up in. All three of them have inherited magic powers; Prue has the power of telekinesis, Piper has the power to freeze time, and Phoebe has the power of premonition. Together they try to live everyday normal lives in San Francisco, while battling demons and warlocks, and keeping their supernatural identities a secret.

The name of this episode is a play on words from Shakespeare's Macbeth: "By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes."

Plot
In San Francisco, witch Serena Fredrick (Lonnie Partridge) is murdered in her apartment by an unidentified man. Homicide Inspectors Darryl Morris (Dorian Gregory) and Andy Trudeau (T.W. King) investigate her murder. Andy tells Darryl that he suspects that witchcraft is involved, but Darryl dismisses the idea.

Piper (Holly Marie Combs) arrives late at Halliwell Manor, which she and her sisters Prue (Shannen Doherty) and Phoebe (Alyssa Milano) inherited from their recently deceased grandmother. Prue states that Piper's boyfriend Jeremy (Eric Scott Woods) has sent some flowers and a bottle of Port, the ingredient she needs for her showpiece recipe in the morning. Piper sees an old spirit board that Prue found in the basement while she was looking for a circuit tester. She turns it over to see the inscription on the back: "To my three beautiful girls, may this give you the light to find the shadows the power of three will set you free. Love, Mom."

The pair then begin to wonder about Phoebe, who is living in New York. Prue suggests that they should rent out the spare room at a reduced rate in exchange for fixing things around the house. Piper suggests that Phoebe could move in before admitting that two weeks earlier she had agreed to allow their unemployed, penniless sister to move back in. Prue is not happy with this since she and Phoebe had fallen out over Prue's former fiancé, Roger (Matthew Ashford). Months earlier, Prue had broken off the engagement because she believes he and Phoebe slept together.

After a tense reunion with Prue, Phoebe joins Piper in playing with the spirit board. As Piper goes into the kitchen, the pointer on the spirit board starts to spell a word. Frightened, Phoebe tries to convince her sisters that the pointer is moving, but they do not believe her. Piper then sees the pointer move briefly and then the spirit board finally spells out the word "attic" as Phoebe writes it down. As the storm continues, the power goes out. Piper and Prue head off to the fuse panel, but Phoebe follows the spirit board's prompt and heads to the attic. The door opens and Phoebe is guided to a wooden chest, in which she discovers a large, ancient book called the Book of Shadows. Overcome with curiosity, she reads a page aloud, which mentions the "power of three" having the active powers of an ancestor named Melinda Warren. The spell bestows Phoebe with premonitions, Piper with molecular immobilization, and Prue with telekinesis.

Prue tells Phoebe that the book is witchcraft, but they do not believe it. In the morning Prue is confronted by Roger, who is also her boss. He removes her from the project that she had been looking after. Prue quits her job, but her anger unwittingly causes her to make his pen explode and his necktie to nearly strangle him. Piper runs out of time and can't complete her dish until she accidentally freezes the chef of the restaurant, which allows her to finish the sauce and get the job. Whilst Phoebe is riding her bike, she sees a premonition of two boys on roller skates getting hit by a car, but she saves them by crashing her bike into the car.

Prue sees her power in action for the first time when putting cream in her drink. While Prue is in a pharmacy looking for aspirin, Phoebe observes that Prue uses her power when she is angry. Phoebe winds her sister up over Roger and their father, which causes Prue to knock most of the stock off the shelves. Meanwhile, Piper is on a date with Jeremy, who is actually a warlock who steals the powers of good witches. Jeremy says that he has always known that Piper and her sisters are witches, which is why he started dating Piper six months earlier. He then shows Piper Serena's powers, revealing himself as her murderer. While Jeremy attempts to stab Piper with an athame, she freezes him and escapes before telling Prue and Phoebe what happened. The trio then create a potion which injures Jeremy, and Phoebe has a premonition that he has been wounded but not defeated. After trying to blockade themselves from Jeremy, Prue remembers the inscription on the spirit board and begin chanting, "The power of three will set us free", which destroys Jeremy.

Production
An unaired pilot for the series was first shot, with some scenes filmed in the actual manor that is shown on the show, located at 1329 Carroll Avenue in Los Angeles. Lori Rom and Chris Boyd were originally cast to play Phoebe and Andy, and were later recast. After Lori Rom leaving Charmed, executive producer Aaron Spelling asked Alyssa Milano, whom he knew from Melrose Place, to be her replacement and the show moved to a sound studio.

The unaired pilot is featured in a bonus disc of some editions of the complete series DVD releases.

Reception
In 2016, Gavin Hetherington of SpoilerTV ran a series of Charmed articles in the run-up to the 10th anniversary of the series finale. The first was a complete season review of season one, including the pilot episode, in which Gavin comments that the episode is a "classic", and that he "loved the episode".

Leicester Racecourse

Leicester Racecourse is a horse racing course in Oadby, Leicestershire, about three miles south of the city centre.

History of horse racing in Leicester
The earliest evidence suggests that racing took place at Abbey Meadow, Leicester on 23 March 1603, the day before Queen Elizabeth I died. The highlight of these early meetings was the Corporation Town Plate. This was discontinued towards the end of the century but was re-introduced in 1720. In 1740 meetings were transferred to St. Mary's Field, although racing was still held at Abbey Field. However, in 1742 it was decided to end racing at Abbey Field because of flooding, so St. Mary's Field became the preferred location. In 1807, the Leicester Gold Cup, worth 100 sovereigns, was first run at Victoria Park racecourse. The first meeting at the present racecourse at Oadby took place on 24 July 1883. Victoria Park became a cricket ground, with the grandstand becoming the cricket pavilion.

On 31 March 1921, a young apprentice jockey, Gordon Richards, rode the first winner of his career at Leicester: Gay Lord, trained by Martin Hartigan. He went on to ride a total of 4,870 winners. On Friday 20 January 1931, Golden Miller won his first race, the Gopsall Maiden Hurdle, over 2 miles at Leicester, and worth £83. Ridden by Bob Lyall, Golden Miller started 5/4 favourite and won easily. He came back to Leicester in January 1935 and, ridden by Gerry Wilson, won the Mapperely 'Chase. Golden Miller won five consecutive Cheltenham Gold Cups between 1932 and 1936, and the Grand National in 1934. The Golden Miller Handicap Hurdle is run at Leicester every year in memory of the horse.

The racecourse reached its reputational peak of in the late nineteenth century when it staged some of the most valuable races in the United Kingdom, including the Prince of Wales Stakes and the Portland Stakes, both of which carried more prize money than any of the five British flat-racing Classics in 1889.

Leicester racecourse was the scene of the infamous Flockton Grey ringer case.

The course
It is an oval shaped course of about 1 mile 5 furlongs, with a straight 7 furlong course which joins the round course 4½ furlongs from the winning post. The 7 furlong course runs downhill to half way, uphill for 2 furlongs before levelling out for the last 1½ furlongs. Races are run over distances between 5 furlongs and 1 mile 3 furlongs 183 yards.

The steeplechase course, which is also about 1 mile 5 furlongs, has ten fences. There are six fences, including the water jump and an open ditch, down the back straight, which runs inside the flat course. On the turn to the home straight the steeplechase course switches to the outside. Prior to the 2009/10 National Hunt season, the open ditch, which was jumped as the fourth last fence on the turn from the back straight, was moved to the home straight. The home straight now consists of four fences, with the open ditch taken as the third last fence. Hurdle races are run on the flat course. The last 3 furlongs are uphill, so Leicester presents a stiff test of stamina.

Racing is held on 30 days a year at Leicester: 19 Flat, 11 National Hunt.

New Democracy Party (Portugal)

The New Democracy Party (Partido da Nova Democracia, ) was a small Portuguese Eurosceptic liberal-conservative political party. In voting ballots, its name appeared only as New Democracy, with the acronym unchanged. The party was founded in 2003. It was, at the time, a new party which resulted from Manuel Monteiro's separation from the Democratic and Social Centre – People's Party. The party was a member of the EUDemocrats. Manuel Monteiro eventually would leave the party in 2009, which was led, since then, by Joel Viana until its extinction.

In the 2011 presidential election, the PND's candidate was José Manuel Coelho. He won 4.5% of the vote: greatly surpassing expectations and pre-election polling.

The party's registration was cancelled by the Constitutional Court on 23 September 2015, after the party failed to submit its required annual report in 2011, 2012, and 2013.

People's Monarchist Party (Portugal)

The People's Monarchist Party (Partido Popular Monárquico, ) is a political party in Portugal. It was founded in 1974 by various groups opposing the Estado Novo, in the context of the Carnation Revolution.

The party seeks the restoration of the Portuguese monarchy. The People's Monarchist Party is a member of the International Monarchist Conference and the European Christian Political Movement.

History
The party is known for its dispute with Duarte Pio, with party leader, Nuno da Câmara Pereira, supporting a rival claimant, the Duke of Loulé.

The party had, until 2009, two representatives in the Assembly of the Republic, elected on the lists of the Social Democratic Party, following an agreement with the latter party's leader, Pedro Santana Lopes. In 2009, under the leadership of Câmara Pereira, the party decided to run in the elections of that year on its own, gaining no seats.

The party had not been elected on its own since the dissolution of the Democratic Alliance, of which it was a part, and seldom reached 0.5% of votes.

Ergue-te

Rise Up (Ergue-te, E), originally the National Renewal Party (Partido Nacional Renovador, PNR) until July 2020, is a Portuguese far-right    nationalist political party.

History
The PNR was established in February 2000. In July 2020, the party was renamed.

Controversy
Although in the past the party did not reject connections to so-called neo-Nazi racist movements, it claims to be a target of political persecution. In their youth, some of its former members were convicted for racial discrimination and violent crimes, such as the racially motivated murder of Alcindo Monteiro in Lisbon, after being linked to right-wing armed groups such as the Portuguese Hammerskins. In recent years, however, the party has expelled its members that have connections to these kinds of groups and, as a result, the former Portuguese Hammerskins leader Mário Machado has decided to try to create a new party, the New Social Order.

Election results
In the 2005 legislative elections, the then PNR obtained just under 0.2% of the vote, failing to elect any deputies to Parliament by a wide margin. In the 2009 European election, the party had about 13,000 votes, having 0.37% of the vote, the party had its higher results in the districts of Lisbon and Setúbal. 2015 was the year the party most increased in votes, having received 27,269 votes in the legislative elections. An increase of just over 50% in comparison to 2011.

Since 2019 the right-wing populist Chega seems to be taking votes away from PNR.

Talk:Interstate 205 (California)

Strange confluence of dates
The article reads "When I-205 opened in December 1970, it replaced 11th Street, which passed through downtown Tracy, as part of the primary all-land connection between the Bay Area and Sacramento until the Carquinez Bridge opened in 1927, and carried the Lincoln Highway and later U.S. Route 50."

I'm guessing some content dropped out. When...1970...until...1927 doesn't make sense, plus the Carquinez Bridge would not be an all-land connection.

I'm guessing this is saying that 11th Street, as part of a land-based connection between Bay Area and Sacramento, was part of the primary such connection before the opening of Carquinez Bridge opened in 1927, and that subsequently, in December 1970, I-205 largely replaced 11th Street for remaining users of the land connection.

That said, I'm not able to parse out from the rest of the article whether that is actually the case, nor are there in-line citations I can use to figure out what this is trying to say. The sentence might benefit from being broken up into two or three sentences by someone who knows the full story.

Democratic Party of the Atlantic

The Democratic Party of the Atlantic (Partido Democrático do Atlântico, ) was a political party, based in the Portuguese archipelago of the Azores. A regional party, whose electorate was concentrated on the islands of São Miguel, it was created by former supporters of the New State. it seldom obtained more than 1% of the votes in regional or national elections (even within the Azores).

History
The party had its origin in the Movimento para a Autodeterminação do Povo Açoriano (MAPA) (Self-determination Movement for the Azorean People) founded in 1979 by Francisco da Costa Matos. The Movement and, later the PDA, promoted a form of home rule for the Azores, following the example of the Bermudas. While registered with the Supremo Tribunal de Justiça (Supreme Court) on 5 November 1979 as the União Democrática do Atlântico (Democratic Union of the Atlantic), it had changed its name to the PDA by the 1983 election.

In the Regional legislative election in the Azores held in 2004 the PDA got 284 votes.

It first presented a list of candidates for the national assembly elections on 20 February 2005, but only received 0.35% (1618 votes) for the Azores.

Although initially perceived as a far-right party, the party claimed to be as a right-of-centre party. It supported Socialist Manuel Alegre when he ran as an independent in the Portuguese presidential election of 2006 and, again, in 2011.

During the 2008 regional elections, the party ran a campaign that included the support for a mandatory local history discipline in the regions curriculum. Visiting the district school in Ribeira Grande, party leader José Ventura, indicated proposals to extend history in school, and evaluate students. As he indicated, "the student who is diligent and disciplined, of course, at the end of the school year must have learned something", referring to situations in the local educational system, that permitted some students advancing without a comprehensive understanding. On the 19 October 2008 vote, the party received 0.8% (627) of the votes.

In the Regional legislative election in the Azores held in 2012 the PDA got 530 votes.

During the 2011 Portuguese legislative elections, the party candidates included representatives of the Movimento Partido do Norte (Movement of the North Party), led by ex-PS deputy Pedro Batista, whose party competed in various constituencies, including Aveiro, Braga, Bragança, Porto, Guarda, Viana do Castelo and Vila Real, addition to the Azores.

The party's registration was cancelled by the Constitutional Court of Portugal on 1 September 2015, after the party failed to submit its required annual report in 2011, 2012, and 2013.

Please stop posting your essay on the cohabitation disambig. CAPS LOCK 21:20, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

Cohabitation
You have recently contributed a large body of text to the cohabitation article. Several editors (myself included) would like to see further referencing of figures (such as "Women in these relationships spend 31 hours a week on household chores, compared to the 37 hours spent by married women" or "nearly 75% of these couples plan to marry but only less than half actually do. Cohabiter marriages have an 80% higher dissolution rate than non-cohabiter marriages. On average, most cohabiting relationships last two years before marriage or a break up; and 63% of cohabiting couples separate. Only about 10% continue to simply live together.") After all, information on wikipedia needs to be verifiable. You do vaguely mention some sources, but they are not explicit enough. A few examples of this are "Recent social science research has discovered that..." and "This is supported by a study, which found that..." There is also the issue of original research, which basically covers all of the "Gender differences", "Risks" and "Factors that encourage cohabitation" sections. Original research is not a bad thing, but information on wikipedia needs to be reliable, reputable and credible. That's why wikipedia relies on such sources (scientific magazines and reliable newspapers and tv channels). Original research doesn't have to be bad, but it's just not something for wikipedia.

Oliver Taplin

Oliver Taplin, FBA (born 2 August 1943) is a retired British academic and classicist. He was a fellow of Magdalen College and Professor of Classical Languages and Literature at the University of Oxford. He holds a DPhil from Oxford University.

Academic career
Taplin's primary focus as a scholar is Greek drama, especially from the viewpoint of staging and performance. His first book (based on his dissertation) was The Stagecraft of Aeschylus, in which he dealt with the entrances and exits of characters in Aeschylus's plays. Subsequent books, including Comic Angels (1993) and Pots and Plays (2007) examine vase paintings as evidence for the performance of tragedy and comedy. In 1996, together with Edith Hall, he set up the APGRD (Archive of Performances of Greek and Roman Drama). It is devoted to the international production and reception of ancient plays since the Renaissance. He has also worked with productions in the theatre, including The Oresteia at the National Theatre (1980–81), The Thebans at the RSC (1991–92), and The Oresteia at the National Theatre (1999–2000).

Apart from Greek drama, his chief area of interest is Homer. Taplin was doctoral supervisor for Classicist Isabel Ruffell.

Among the general public, Taplin is probably best known for Greek Fire, a celebration of the capacity of Ancient Greek culture to stand the test of time and influence modern art, thought and society. The book accompanied a Channel 4 documentary series of the same name. The book has been translated into five languages. In 2008, Taplin took part in the programme "Greek and Latin Voices" for the BBC where he gave a talk on Homer and translated the Homeric texts for the programme.

Taplin retired as Tutor in Classics at Magdalen College, Oxford in 2008. The same year, Oxford University Press published Performance, Iconography, Reception: Studies in Honour of Oliver Taplin, edited by Martin Revermann and Peter Wilson.

Honours
Taplin was elected Fellow of the British Academy (FBA) in 1995.

James Anderson (Manitoba politician)

James Frederick Anderson (September 2, 1903 – October 18, 1983) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1948 to 1958 as a Liberal-Progressive.

The son of William V. Anderson and Harriet Ellen Whitmore, Anderson was born in Oakville, Manitoba and was educated there and at the University of Manitoba. He went on to study law, practising in Winnipeg until 1942, when he moved to Ashern. Anderson was administrator for the Rural Municipality of Woodlea from 1942 to 1948. He also served as a school board trustee, as a member of the Ashern Hospital Board and as president of the Manitoba Hospital Organization.

Anderson was first elected to the legislature in a by-election on December 23, 1948, defeating CCF opponent Michael Taczynski in the Fairford constituency. The by-election was called after former Premier Stuart Garson resigned to run for a seat in the House of Commons of Canada.

Anderson was returned by acclamation in the 1949 election, and was re-elected without difficulty in the 1953 election. He was a backbench supporter of Douglas Campbell's government during his time in the legislature, and did not seek re-election in 1958.

He died in Ashern at the age of 80.

Talk:Interstate 305

Wikiproject
Well... I-305 is not defined in state law... it is defined in federal law ... so I chose not to put the stub marker on this page. However, more external links should be added. --Rschen7754 21:29, May 30, 2005 (UTC)

8.44 miles?
According to the FHWA Route Log, I-305 is 8.44 miles long. Kurumi concurs, saying it was increased from 5.3 miles in 1999. Any idea where the extra 3.1 miles came from? This would take it north on SR 51 to roughly SR 160, south on SR 99 to roughly 47th Avenue, or east on US 50 to roughly Watt Avenue. SR 160 seems most likely, but I have no evidence of which way it actually goes. The plan for I-80 to bypass the substandard North Sacramento Freeway would have taken it to SR 51 just south of the river - my guess is that the road was actually built to Interstate standards south of SR 160. --SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates! ) 13:59, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
