NEW STRATEGIES DMC: One more on baseball, well, starting from baseball
http://newstrategiesdmc.blogspot.com/2011/11/one-more-on-baseball-well-starting-from.html
One more on baseball, well, starting from baseball. For the Europeans: As playing in the Major League baseball clubs was forbidden during the de facto apartheid years in US history African Americans organized their own baseball competition. That period started to end with Jackie Robinson’s entry into Major League baseball in 1947. Many claim this moment to be one of the contributing moments to the birth of the Civil Rights Movement. 8220;What would be the benefit? To some there’s nothing new in tha...

Clearly not all about Detroit. It's been 380 days since we left Detroit. And by we I mean Joao and me. It's been 24 days since they left Detroit. And by they I mean Jonas and Chris.

Therefore we would like to invite everyone to an event on Friday the 16th in the Kanaleneiland apartment of Expodium, in Utrecht. Following up is the press release! Have a look and drop by!
