On September 2, 2017, he was called up to the Astros and played in their doubleheader against the Mets, their first home game after Hurricane Harvey. In 17 games with the Astros, Kemp had a .216 average and 4 RBI. The Astros finished the season with a 101-61 record and eventually won the 2017 World Series, their first ever championship title. Kemp did not participate in any playoff action, but was still on the 40-man roster at the time, and won his first championship title. |
In March 2018, the Astros optioned Kemp back to Fresno. He was called up on May 16 to replace Jake Marisnick. In the 2018 season, Kemp played in 97 games for the Astros, batting .263/.351/.392 with 6 HR and 30 RBI, playing primarily in left field. He was mocked by the Fenway Park crowd and organist during the second game of the 2018 American League Championship Series (ALCS) when he took an extended period of time to return to the batter's box after a foul ball. Following the third game of the 2018 ALCS, Kemp received wide sports media coverage for making a leaping catch against the left field wall on a ball hit by Steve Pearce. The Red Sox challenged the catch at the wall, since it sounded like the ball hit the wall first. After further review, they announced the catch as confirmed, meaning the MLB replay crew in New York saw conclusive evidence of the catch. In game four, Kemp hit a fourth inning solo home run off Rick Porcello after only hitting six homers during the regular season. |
On July 26, 2019, the Astros designated Kemp for assignment to activate Carlos Correa. |
His 2019 season with the Astros ended with a disappointing .227/.308/.417 line over 163 at-bats, while setting a career high with 7 homeruns in just 66 games, prior to being traded. |

On January 13, 2020, Kemp was traded to the Oakland Athletics for minor league first baseman Alfonso Rivas. |

= = = Sundays at Tiffany's (film) = = = |
Sundays at Tiffany's is a 2010 made-for-TV romance film directed by Mark Piznarski. Originally airing on Lifetime, the film based on the novel of the same name by James Patterson and Gabrielle Charbonnet, and stars Alyssa Milano, Eric Winter, Ivan Sergei and Stockard Channing. |
In 1990, ten-year-old Jane Claremont (Emily Alyn Lind) is infatuated with her imaginary friend Michael (Gage Munroe), to the disappointment of her mother Vivienne (Stockard Channing), who thought that her daughter is not normal and even sends her to therapy because of her relationship with Michael. Michael knows that he has to go when Jane turns ten years old. Every birthday Vivienne takes Jane to Tiffany & Co in New York City to buy her a gift, while Vivienne is looking for the perfect gift, Michael talks to Jane and explains what happens when she turns ten. After explaining the situation to her he then prepares to leave through an "exit station" (the store's elevator) at precisely 5:15 pm, which is the exact moment of her birth. Jane doesn't understand and begs him to stay, but he departs, and Jane is devastated. |
Twenty years later, Jane (Alyssa Milano) is soon getting married to Hugh Morrison (Ivan Sergei), a famous television actor. She is currently following her mother's steps into becoming a theater manager and will produce her fiance in his theater debut. Michael (Eric Winter) reappears in New York as a full fledged human being who finally makes contact with Jane. |
Jane initially thinks that Michael is a stalker and struggling actor, who probably wants a role in an upcoming play. He assures her of his identity by coming up with information about her past he could not have known if he was not really Michael. |
Michael becomes surprised by Jane's life, because she is not exactly the woman she said that would be when she was younger, however Jane assures him that she let go some of her dreams, made better decisions and has grown up. Jane's life has become so hectic that she is unable to make any decisions in terms of her wedding, but with Michael's help Jane manages to pick out the dress, cake, and the flowers. Michael even repaints her apartment and fixes her shower, which Hugh has neglected to do many times due to his preoccupation with his career. Eventually Jane realizes that Michael really knows her better than anyone. |
They go out a couple of times afterwards and grow even closer, much to Hugh's annoyance. Hugh orders Jane to end her contact with Michael which leads to Jane asking Michel to leave her house and find a job or something to keep him occupied. After returning to her life with Hugh, Jane soon realizes that she is not happy with him, and that they do not share the same interests. She contacts Michael, who is now working in a restaurant. They reconnect and spend their first night together intimately. Because she is now finally happy, Michael announces that he must leave again at 5:15 pm on her birthday. Heartbroken, Jane assures him that she will not spend another minute thinking of him if he truly leaves. She continues preparing for her wedding, but then leaves Hugh at the altar because she still is in love with Michael. As it is Christmas Eve and almost 5:15 pm, she runs off to Tiffany's to find Michael. She does, just in time, and professes her love for him. But he again says he has to go, saddening her once again. Michael then disappears into the store elevator once again. Jane goes outside the store feeling heartbroken. But Michael then reappears and professes his love for her and explains that he came back because he needs her, and that "some rules were made to be broken". |
Milano was attracted to the script because "it's such an original concept, which I don't think we see that often, anymore" and because she was "really attracted to flawed characters because I feel like we're all flawed." When she took the role, she initially struggled with portraying a character who is "hardened off and protective of herself" without coming off "bitchy". |
The film was shot on location and in Toronto between September 8 and October 1, 2010. Milano credited her co-stars for making the production "not only easy but an experience where it felt like we were doing something great." She told an interviewer that she gladly reunited with Winter and Sergei, with whom she worked with on "Charmed"; and on working with Channing, she commented: "Working with her is a great reminder of why, after 30 years of being in this business, I still love my job." Milano also served as a producer of the film, which she liked, because "there is a sense of being more creatively involved and more emotionally aware." |

= = = Heartaches and Tears = = = |
Heartaches and Tears is the fourth studio album released by American country artist, Jean Shepard. The album was released in January 1962 on Capitol Records and was produced by Marvin Hughes. It produced one single, which was released a year prior to the album's release. |
"Heartaches and Tears" was recorded a year before its official release in two separate recording sessions. The first took place on May 8, 1961 and the second took place the following day. This was the second of Shepard's albums to not be recorded in California, instead being recorded in Nashville, Tennessee at the Bradley Film and Recording Studio. "Heartaches and Tears" was produced by Nashville A&R man, Marvin Hughes. Although it was not the first session of Shepard's that Hughes produced, it was the first album to be completed by him. All previous releases had been recorded under the direction of West Coast producer Ken Nelson. Session musicians used for the production of "Heartaches and Tears" consisted of The A-Team. This group of background musicians played on recordings for most Nashville-based artists during the late 1950s and 1960s. They would appear in many of Shepard's albums during the sixties decade. Unlike Shepard's previous release ("Got You on My Mind"), the songs on the record were mainly new material. Examples of this included songs such as, "I Don't Remember", "Would Be Satisfied", and "I'd Like to Know Where People Go". However, a cover version of "Jealous Heart" appears at the end of the album. The tracks on the release were written by some of Nashville's well-known songwriters, including Jack Rhodes and Marijohn Wilkin. |
"Heartaches and Tears" was officially released in January 1962. It was released under Capitol Records on a Vinyl LP. Because "Billboard"'s "Top Country Albums" chart was not yet created, the album did not chart on that list. Additionally, it did not appear among any "Billboard" or "Cashbox" record chart. "Allmusic" reviewed "Heartaches and Tears", giving the album four out of five stars. However, an official album review was not provided. |
= = = Sextus Julius Caesar (consul 157 BC) = = = |
Sextus Julius Caesar Sex. f. L. n. was a Roman statesman, and the first member of the Julii Caesares to hold the consulship, which he attained in 157 BC. |
From his filiation, we know that Sextus' father was also named "Sextus", and that his grandfather was named "Lucius". In his reconstruction of the family, classical scholar Wilhelm Drumann assumed that he was the son of Sextus Julius Caesar, one of the military tribunes of 181 BC, and the grandson of an otherwise unknown Lucius Julius Caesar, who would have been the son of Sextus, praetor in 208 BC. However, more recent scholarship has concluded that the military tribune and the consul were the same person, and that his father was the praetor of 208. |
Sextus had at least one brother, Lucius, who was praetor in 183 BC, and probably a second, Gaius, who was a senator and the great-grandfather of Gaius Julius Caesar, the dictator. He had two sons: Sextus, who was praetor "urbanus" in 123 BC, and Lucius, by whom he was the grandfather of Lucius Julius Caesar, consul in BC 90, and the orator Gaius Julius Caesar Strabo Vopiscus. |
In 181 BC, Sextus served as a military tribune under Lucius Aemilius Paullus Macedonicus, proconsul of Liguria. In 170, he was one of the legates sent to Thrace in order to restore liberty to the people of Abdera, and to seek out and return those who had been sold into slavery. In 165, Sextus was one of the curule aediles. At the Megalesian Games, he and his colleague, Gnaeus Cornelius Dolabella, gave the first, unsuccessful presentation of Terence's comedy, "Hecyra". Sextus subsequently held the praetorship; the exact year is uncertain, but it was no later than 160. |
In BC 157, Sextus became the first of the Julii Caesares to obtain the consulship. His colleague was Lucius Aurelius Orestes. Their year of office was largely uneventful; Ariarathes, who had been deposed as King of Cappadocia the previous year, was at Rome seeking support for his subsequent restoration, and Sextus is named as a witness to a decree of the senate to the people of Tibur. |
Ten years after their consulship, in 147 BC, Orestes was sent as part of an ambassadorial mission to arbitrate in a dispute between the Achaean League and the Lacedaemonians. Following the senate's instructions, he removed several important towns from the League, leading to riots at Corinth, and an attack on the ambassadors. In response, his former colleague was dispatched at the head of a second delegation with instructions to censure the Achaeans and continue negotiating the dispute. Sextus' attempt to resolve the dispute was frustrated by the Achaean general Critolaus. The following year, the League rose against Rome, and was decisively defeated in the Achaean War. The League was dissolved, and most of mainland Greece was incorporated into the Roman Republic. |
