Lucky for you, this flip is pretty simple — the edge, however, can be a little more complex. Once you figure out the trip-style edge at the wake, the rest is easy if you have a strong back flip. "A tantrum is one of the most basic inverts to learn, and in my opinion, it's the one with the least amount of effort," Adam Errington says.
In order to learn this trip at the wake, there are a few drills that will help you learn quickly with low impact and less risk of injury. The first are backside re-entry ollies — where you ride three-fourths of the way up the wake on your heels, ollie off of your toes and land back on the face of the wake or near the trough. This resembles the edge change required at the wake to "trip" you into the flip.
Once you have your backside re-entries dialed in, practice one-handed, one-wake tantrum attempts to get a feel for the tripping pop at the wake. On your first few attempts, let go of the rope completely just before you hit the wake. This will build your confidence and decrease your reliance on the rope. This invert does not require any line tension to function, so resist the urge to pull on the rope to gain stability.
When it's time to take your attempts wake to wake, Adam says to "come into the wake with a crouched position and a more aggressive approach than you would on a normal wake-to-wake jump — this is because you will lose momentum at takeoff. As you near the bottom of the wake, take your back hand off the handle and square up your chest and shoulders as you simultaneously begin to stand up out of your crouched position."
This is where the re-entry ollie practice really comes into play. Be sure to stand completely tall and push with your legs to take full advantage of the wake's energy.
"Getting this timing down is hard, but that what all the drills are for," Adam says.
Once you've got the takeoff correct, it's pretty simple from there. Push your chest up, keep your eyes open and spot your landing. This is where your trampoline training will really pay off.

Reverend George Wieneman founded Saint Joseph School September 1950. Sister M. Stephanie, IHM, was the first principal. The school started with six grades, there were three lay teachers and three Immaculate Heart of Mary Sisters. The Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary served Saint Joseph School and Parish for eighteen years in a tradition of academic excellence.
Early in 1967, a letter was sent out by the Archdiocese of Los Angeles informing the religious communities that the Immaculate Heart of Mary Sisters would no longer staff a number of schools. At the request of Cardinal James Francis McIntyre, Archbishop of Los Angeles, and Reverend Edward V. Callahan, Pastor of Saint Joseph Church, the Carmelite Sisters of the Most Sacred Heart of Los Angeles assumed responsibility of the school in September 1968.
During the summer of 1968, the Carmelite Sisters moved into a convent which was on Hill Street. Those in the original group were: Sister Mary Bernadette – Principal, Sister Mary Lourdes, and Sister Helen Marie.
In 2010, Saint Joseph School had its first Kindergarten class. In October 2010, Saint Joseph School celebrated 60 years of service to the children and families of Saint Joseph Catholic Church community and beyond. Many alumni were present for the celebration.
The school is also part of the larger school system of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, and is certified by both the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, and the Western Catholic Educational Association.

Q: Node js restler returns the same result when making 2 different API requests I'm trying to get the API of a website using restler and protractor, but when I make 2 seperate API requests, it would return the result of the first request twice.
My function:

var url = undefined;
var rest = require('restler');
var defered = protractor.promise.defer();

var getDataFunction = function() {
  var url = 'https://example.api.testlodge.com/v1/projects/16702/runs/287053/executed_steps.json?page=1'

  rest.get(url, {
    headers: {
      'Connection': 'close'
    }
  }).on('complete', function(result) {
    if (result instanceof Error) {
      console.log('Error:', result.message);
      defered.reject(result.message);
      //this.retry(5000); // try again after 5 sec
    } else {
      defered.fulfill(result);
      defered.promise.then(function(item) {
        console.log("fulfill", item);
      });
    }
  });
  return defered.promise;
};

var get2ndDataFunction = function() {

  rest.get('https://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=select%20*%20from%20weather.forecast%20where%20woeid%20in%20(select%20woeid%20from%20geo.places(1)%20where%20text%3D%22Hyderabad%2C%20Tel%2C%20india%22)&format=json&env=store%3A%2F%2Fdatatables.org%2Falltableswithkeys', {

I'm not sure if it's Restler or promise issue.

A: Below is the answer;

var url = undefined;
var rest = require('restler');

var getDataFunction = function() {
  var defered = protractor.promise.defer();
  var url = 'https://example.api.testlodge.com/v1/projects/16702/runs/287053/executed_steps.json?page=1'

  rest.get(url, {
    headers: {
      'Connection': 'close'
    }
  }).on('complete', function(result) {
    if (result instanceof Error) {
      console.log('Error:', result.message);
      defered.reject(result.message);
      //this.retry(5000); // try again after 5 sec
    } else {
      defered.fulfill(result);
      defered.promise.then(function(item) {
        console.log("fulfill", item);
      });
    }
  });
  return defered.promise;
};

var get2ndDataFunction = function() {
  var defered2 = protractor.promise.defer();

  rest.get('https://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=select%20*%20from%20weather.forecast%20where%20woeid%20in%20(select%20woeid%20from%20geo.places(1)%20where%20text%3D%22Hyderabad%2C%20Tel%2C%20india%22)&format=json&env=store%3A%2F%2Fdatatables.org%2Falltableswithkeys', {
    headers: {
      'Connection': 'close'
    }
  }).on('complete', function(result) {
    if (result instanceof Error) {
      console.log('Error:', result.message);
      defered2.reject(result.message);
      //this.retry(5000); // try again after 5 sec
    } else {
      defered2.fulfill(result);
      defered2.promise.then(function(item) {
        console.log("fulfill", item);
      });
    }
  });
  return defered2.promise;
}

Then;

getDataFunction().then(function() {

  get2ndDataFunction();

});

A: The protractor.promise is an exposed selenium-webdriver namespace and I believe the defer method has been deprecated since selenium-webdriver 3. It is not shown which version of Protractor you are using. Please check the selenium-webdriver changelog. Protractor took these changes in Protractor 5 with this commit.

Haus Blong Miranda (Miranda's-House) is more a village-with-villagers, than a house.
It's many places in one: coming-together places, being-apart places.
To the street and sea, it's a village-of-pavilions: friendly, traditional. Cars stop quickly, enabling a meandering way through – for people, landscape, view, breeze.
Platforms step sea-ward: they nestle, they perch, accompanied by hardworking, tropical natangorah-thatched-rooves which create deep-shelter, shade and dark-cool internally – and waving, joyous fringes.
Primary pavilions are an essay in exquisite local kwila-hardwood, anchored to site-cuts through local-coral-stone and polished-coral-concrete. Almost wall-less, they are broadly opening, then shuttering; never of glass, but with slats, fine-timber-louvres and split-woven-bamboo.
Freer-form nakamals afford making/party/play-spaces and shelter-points around the site. Here, bush-timber-and-natangorah structures follow the whim of Ni-Van builders.
Spaces-between are transitions, journeys-with-outdoor-art, places to hold-and-show collectibles and gifts.
Open House: the site becomes the house, the house the site.
This project's about comprehending traditional-construction, reshaping for contemporary knowledge: tradition and niu-way, side-by-side.
It's about design for cyclones: learning old principles, applying new translations.
It's about working with Ni-Van trades&craftspeople, but through commercial engagement: old economy, new economy.
Kastom land is leased, but kastom owners are on-site, too: 2-way learning continues.
Open-house: a dot in Miranda's Vanuatu-journey: Haus blong Vanuatu.

Two animal welfare groups have obtained an injunction from the Grand Court to halt a planned cull of feral cats believed to pose a threat to native wildlife on the Sister Islands.
The Cayman Islands Humane Society and Feline Friends were granted a temporary injunction Tuesday to stop the cull, which was scheduled to begin in Little Cayman this week.
Justice Richard Williams will be asked to consider Thursday whether to grant the applicants leave to apply for judicial review of the cull program – a joint initiative between the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Environment. He is also expected to make a decision Thursday on whether to extend the injunction.
Gina Ebanks-Petrie, director of the Department of Environment, confirmed that a cull had been planned to help deal with feral cats preying on wildlife.
The two charities are asking government officials to meet with them to discuss more humane options for dealing with the problem. They have proposed a trap, neuter, vaccinate and release program and say they are willing to provide funds and resources to assist government.
In a joint statement, the groups said they had to act swiftly after learning about the planned cull, which was scheduled to start on Tuesday, earlier this week.
The statement said the organizations were "acutely aware" of the hardships faced by indigenous wildlife in Cayman.
Feral cats, the generational offspring of unwanted pets released into the wild, are considered a problem on all three islands.
They are believed to hunt rock iguanas on Cayman Brac and have been known to target brown-footed booby nests.
The feral cats cause much more suffering when left in the wild, neutered or otherwise. It is indisputable that they kill the local indigenous animals. Anything they can catch. And yes, they "play" with their food while it is alive and suffering. Beyond that, if you saw the condition these poor animals are in, you would agree that the only humane thing to do is to put them down. Asking for an injunction in the name of humanity is having the exact opposite affect. It is killing our local wildlife in a horrific way, and it is prolonging the suffering of these poor creatures.
The endangered species do not have time for these over-abundant introduced super-predators to "live out their lives." TNR has no record of success anywhere, and its advocates are now shipping cats across state lines in the US trying to desperately create false "success stories." People always want to feed the cats saying that it will cause them to hunt not as often, but at the same time say how good they are for controlling rodents. So which is it? Cats are indeed insatiable killers of everything they can kill whether or not they are fed, and the cat food is made of more dead animals anyway. More animals are killed than are saved by prolonging the life of a cat with no responsible owner. It is nothing but an embarrassing madness.
Mr Hillenbrand has very valid points . Wild cats vs all the other wild life on the Island . Which one is the biggest predator ? What wouldn't a hungry cat not kill and eat in the wild . I think that all wild animals should have rights to exist in the world , but not on Islands the size of Little Cayman wild where we would like to see other wild life survive and exist . So what is the best solution for the cats ?
I think that people should be able to sit down and work this situation out without having to tie up the Courts time , and work together to keep it under control for the betterment of everyone and the Island wildlife.
Unfortunately it is not possible to reason with the cat people. They hold the lives of the cats higher than that of wildlife. It makes no sense whatsoever. They also believe that cats must die from "natural causes" outside rather than ever be professionally euthanized. These are religious beliefs dug up from ancient Egypt. They also don't care if the cats deposit infected feces into sand that children play in. You can't reason with the other side. Only action is going to save your endangered animals.

The melanocortin-3 receptor (MC3R) is a member of family A G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). The MC3R remains the most enigmatic of the melanocortin receptors with regard to its physiological functions, especially the role in energy homeostasis. The N/DPxxY motif and the eighth helix (helix 8) in the carboxyl terminus of GPCRs have been identified to be important for receptor functions. To gain a better understanding of the structure-function relationship of MC3R, we performed systematic study of all the 20 residues in this domain using alanine-scanning mutagenesis. We showed that eleven residues were important for ligand binding and one was indispensable for downstream cAMP generation. F347A was identified to be constitutively active in cAMP signaling while all the other mutants had normal basal activities. We also studied the signaling capacity of nine mutants in the ERK1/2 signaling pathway. All of these mutants showed normal basal ERK1/2 phosphorylation levels. The pERK1/2 levels of six binding- or signaling-defective mutants were enhanced upon agonist stimulation. The unbalanced cAMP and pERK1/2 signaling pathways suggested the existence of biased signaling in MC3R mutants. Not only mutant receptors can be biased, different ligands of the same receptor have been shown to induce distinct receptor conformations that lead to the activation of diverse signaling pathways, resulting in biased physiological responses. The orexigenic agouti-related peptide (AgRP), which was initially identified as an endogenous antagonist for both neural MCRs, has been suggested to be a biased agonist of MC4R independently of its antagonizing effects. However, little is known about the underlying mechanism or whether the biased agonism of AgRP also exists in MC3R. Herein, we investigated the potential of AgRP to regulate the activation of intracellular kinases through both neural MCRs. We showed that AgRP acted as a biased agonist in MC3R, decreasing the basal cAMP activity of constitutively active mutant (F347A) but stimulating ERK1/2 activation in both wide type and F347A hMC3Rs. AgRP-stimulated ERK1/2 phosphorylation through MC3R was abolished by protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor H-89, whereas AgRP-initiated ERK1/2 activation through MC4R was inhibited by phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitors wortmannin and LY294002. Both NDP-MSH and AgRP treatment induced significant AKT phosphorylation in GT1-7 cells but not in either MC3R- or MC4R-transfected HEK293T cells. The pAMPK levels in both GT1-7 cells and HEK293T cells transfected with neural MCRs were significantly decreased upon stimulation with NDP-MSH but not AgRP. In summary, we showed that the DPLIY motif and Helix 8 are important for MC3R activation and signal transduction. We also provided novel data for the biased agonism of AgRP in neural MCRs. Our result established a theoretical basis for the structure-function relationship of MC3R and AgRP-initiated multiple intracellular signaling pathways, leading to a better understanding of neural MCR pharmacology.

During the nearly one-hour press conference, reporters quizzed Harp on a range of topics including how she manages the stress of being the city's top executive, her run for reelection, her thoughts on climate change and the value of student testing.
For five weeks, eight sixth- and seventh-grade students from Barnard have been paired with Yale School of Drama mentors, learning about the craft of playwriting firsthand. Supporting them is a small team of sound, lighting and costume designers, and dramaturgs also from the School of Drama. Some have just graduated; others have just finished their first year in New Haven, and are staying on for the summer.
Fifteen New Haven high-school students brought playwright August Wilson's characters to life in an August Wilson Monologue Competition on Friday evening. Before they started, James Bundy, artistic director at the Yale Repertory Theatre, reminded the audience that a little bit of themselves might be in Wilson's plays.The New Haven branch of the competition was organized by staff from Long Wharf, Yale Rep, in coordination with the competition's national staff. Sixty high school students from the region auditioned for the chance to perform on Long Wharf's stage. By Friday, judges had narrowed the field to 15 finalists. They came from Educational Center for the Arts, Cooperative Arts and Humanities High School, Regional Center for the Arts in Trumbull, and Wilbur Cross High School.
The Silence Project served as the final assignment for a Yale seminar, "Introduction to Public Humanities," which is taught every fall semester by Ryan Brasseaux, who also serves as dean of Davenport College. The course examines the relationship between knowledge produced in a university and the circulation of ideas among a broader public.
Four Pathways to Arts and Humanities students participated in this unique project.
It was fun, and there were games, but the two-week "For a Girl" program was mostly about empowering young women to do and be whatever they dream.
Sponsored by Dr. Lynn Fiellin's play2PREVENT Lab at the Yale Center for Health and Learning Games, nine girls heard life stories from successful female faculty members at the Yale School of Medicine and elsewhere at the university and designed video games that were meant to educate, not entertain. The three teams presented their games on Friday.
"Listening to other people's experiences in life and college, I matured a bit from this program and realized, like a girl, I can be somebody someday," said Kelsey Snedeker, 18, of New Haven, whose team designed a game about adoption.
An adoptee herself, Snedeker said her team was struck by how little information is available to assist adoptees and their parents. Doing a computer search for "another social justice problem, it would pop right up, but 'adoption' you can't find anything," she said. Snedeker will be a senior at Hill Regional Career High School.
The two other teams focused on women's rights in a variety of cultures and on immigrants' rights.
As Twelve New Haven high school students who formed its inaugural class prepare to graduate, "Citizens, Thinkers, Writers: Reflecting on Civic Life," (CTW) a residential summer program and school year mentorship program, is wrapping up its inaugural year and preparing for the sequel. Bryan Garsten, professor of humanities and political science, and Kathryn Slanski, senior lecturer in humanities and Near Eastern languages, started the program last summer to introduce high school students to the trials and joys of college life. Students live on campus in Timothy Dwight college for two weeks, intensely studying and analyzing classical and modern political philosophy, poetry, and literature, especially as the works relate to engaged citizenry in New Haven. After the two-week course, Garsten and Slanski continued to mentor the students throughout their senior year with the help of one graduate student, two undergraduate students, and a collection of New Haven community figures. To find out more about "Citizens, Thinkers, Writers: Reflections on Civic Life," visit its website.
Yale has many partnerships with New Haven Public Schools, and New Haven students benefit from a wide range of opportunities to engage with Yale resources and programs well in advance of Bulldog Days. Yale's largest investment is in the New Haven Promise, a location-based program that provides scholarships up to 100% of college tuition for residents and graduates of New Haven Public Schools and approved charter schools if they attend college in Connecticut.
New Haven Promise has disbursed over $5 million since inception and assisted more than 1,000 Promise Scholars since 2011. Yale is the principal funder of these scholarships. Over a five-year, phased-in implementation period, New Haven Promise has had a 165 percent increase in students enrolling and being funded at Connecticut's public colleges. Promise's growing internship program will place 100-120 Promise scholars in paid summer career-focused internships in 2017- with the majority of these placements at Yale University, adding another $500,000 in funding to help students reduce college debt.
The Yale Pathways to Science program also serves public schools students in New Haven with free programs, demonstrations, lectures, and laboratory visits at the Yale campus where they learn about cutting-edge advances in science from respected professors. Once students join the program they are invited to attend more than 50 different annual events. There are more than 1,000 students participating in the program and more than 300 program alumni enrolled in college. At the most recently Connecticut Science Fair, 21 Pathways students received distinguished awards, and 14 Pathways students were recently admitted to the Yale Class of 2021.
Dozens of Connecticut elementary and middle school students descended on Yale's campus on March 4 to participate in a unique science outreach program run jointly by the Yale Scientific Magazine and Yale Pathways to Science.
Taking place on six Saturday mornings every year at Sterling Chemistry Laboratory, Science on Saturdays aims to teach science to local students in engaging and accessible ways. The event, an initiative from Yale's Office of New Haven and State Affairs now in its 11th year, emphasizes hands-on learning through experiments and demonstrations.
"A program like Science on Saturdays is really crucial in getting students invested in science, especially because we present a side of science that you won't get a lot of in the classroom — an experiment-based, hands-on side that is significantly more fun," said Stephanie Smelyansky '19, the president of Synapse.
The events, which are open to the public, include science demonstrations by student volunteers followed by a lecture by a Yale science or engineering professor. The demonstrations cover a wide range of scientific concepts, from microbiology to conservation of momentum.
On January 26th, over fifty students from schools all over Connecticut, including several from New Haven Public Schools, visited Yale to compete in the Open Round of the 2017 North American Computational Linguistics Olympiad (NACLO). Each student took a 3-hour written test consisting of linguistics puzzles such as developing a computational procedure to solve a linguistic task or to decipher writing, numeral, or language kinship systems. The top scorers across North America will advance to NACLO's Invitational Round; the finalists there form teams that compete in the International Linguistics Olympiad in Ireland.This is the fourth year that the Yale linguistics department has hosted the competition, organized by professor Raffaella Zanuttini and a team of undergraduates including seniors Aidan Kaplan and Tom McCoy, junior Kate Rosenberg, sophomore Jay Pittman, and freshman James Wedgwood. Aidan, Tom, and James all participated in NACLO in high school and advanced to represent North America at the International Linguistics Olympiad in Ireland.
Best of luck to students advancing to the Invitational Round!

On December 10, public high school students from New Haven and West Haven came to Yale for Ophthalmology Day, an experiential learning opportunity hosted by Yale Pathways to Science. The event brought 30 local teens to campus to receive hands-on lessons from School of Medicine students, faculty, and staff. During the half-day of activities, the students took virtual reality tours of the eye, practiced conducting an eye exam with a slit lamp machine, and dissected a cow's eye. They also attended a panel where members of the Yale League of Black Scientists shared insights on college preparation and transition, and heard a retina surgeon describe her journey to becoming a surgeon.

Jefrey Lopez, whose family hails from Mexico, decided he might vote for Donald Trump because it might result in a free trip back home.
Then he thought better of it.
He made the joke, and then the vote, as he and his 27 classmates in Laura Generoso's eighth grade class participated in East Rock Community Magnet School's mock presidential election Tuesday, one week before Connecticut's adults cast their own ballots in the official main event.
The election, at least at East Rock School, turned out not to be close.
Democratic Hillary Clinton won in a landslide, with 209 votes. Republican Trump won 19 votes, Green Jill Stein 19; and Gary Johnson 16.
The mathematical mind does not take weekends off. It is a way of looking at the world — its shapes, its patterns, its tendencies — that finds expression just as readily on a sleepy Sunday as any other day of the week. Which is a roundabout explanation for the enduring success of Math Mornings at Yale.
Each year since 2012, the Department of Mathematics has organized a series of public, Sunday morning talks on all things mathematical. The talks often draw more than 100 children and their parents to campus from around the region.
"This is a light-hearted outreach series, with no assumptions about what the audience already knows," said Yair Minsky, Yale's Einar Hille Professor of Mathematics, who started Math Mornings and continues to coordinate the series. Part of Yale's Science Outreach program, Math Mondays is partially funded by the National Science Foundation.
This semester's series opens Oct. 16 at Davies Auditorium, 10 Hillhouse Ave. The program starts at 10:30 a.m. with snacks, math games, and demonstrations. The talk begins at 11 a.m.
"Last year, we had 109 different programs that students could come to," says Maria Parente, coordinator of community programs in science at Yale. Selections range from family nights at the Leitner Observatory and Planetarium, to girls' science investigations. "They get to see really strong women in science leading the charge," says Parente.
And that's one of the goals: to show kids that scientists come in all shapes, sizes, genders and colors.
Science on Saturdays, created in 2004 and presented by Yale Scientific Magazine, illustrates the collaborative spirit of the outreach. While aimed at middle school students, all are welcome. The program, held three times in the fall and three times in the spring, features fun lectures after the demonstrations. The crowd ranges anywhere from 150 to 300 people.
"We have kids that have attended every single one…which is really amazing," says Zilm. The Oct. 15 class is called Birds are Living Dinosaurs: Dinosaurs are Stem Birds and runs from 10 a.m. to noon in the Sterling Chemistry Laboratory. Kids can just show up; there's no registration.
On Saturday, September 24th, 171 New Haven middle school girls took over Sloane Physics Lab to broaden their scientific horizons and discover the properties of light. This event, "The World of Light" was organized by Girls' Science Investigations, a free program for New Haven middle school girls founded in 2007 by Yale physics professor Bonnie Fleming. The goal of the program is to empower young women by showing them that they can be successful in the realm of science. The students spent five hours Saturday experimenting with and creating projectors, periscopes, optical fiber flowers and virtual reality goggles.
Citizens, Thinkers, Writers is a residential program offered by Yale's Humanities Program as part of Yale's Pathways to the Arts & Humanities initiative, in consultation with The Education Studies Program. The residential program aims to foster a small community of intellectually ambitious students that will outlast the two weeks of the seminar. The faculty, residential teaching assistants, and coordinator will remain in touch with the students through the 2016-17 academic year to support students in the process of applying to college.
This summer twelve rising seniors from the New Haven public schools were invited to participate in the 2016 seminar from July11th -22nd. Two professors led the seminar, guiding students through discussions of thought-provoking texts by Plato, Thucydides, John Locke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, Jane Addams, W.E.B. Du Bois, Martin Luther King, Jr., Hannah Arendt, and others. The seminar discussions focused on questions of enduring importance, linking historical writings on civic life to contemporary reflections on life in our city. What is the best way for individuals to live together in communities? How can citizens think critically about their societies? What basic agreements lie beneath our political communities, and what happens when those agreements are broken? What are the origins of ideals such as "freedom" and "equality" and what prevents us from achieving them?
Two summer programs have returned to the New Haven community this year: Pathways Summer Scholars Program and the Ulysses S. Grant Program. The Pathways Summer Scholars Program is a free, two-week long program for 100 high school students, in which current Yale students serve as teaching assistants and mentors. This summer, workshops on green chemistry, web development and coding, neurobiology, consciousness, and more are being offered for the first time. Virtually all the participants are among the 1,077 students who are involved in other Yale Pathways STEM programs during the school year. A more longstanding program, the U.S. Grant Program, which was founded in 1953, is a six-week summer program for talented middle school students. Each morning, current Yale students teach small, single-grade classes of their own design to challenge and excite the students. The program has 77 New Haven students participating this summer.
At the second annual Pathways to Genomics and Proteomics Day, twenty-five local middle and high school students from the Yale Pathways to Science program spent the day on campus learning about "omics" science and the cutting-edge research driving future discoveries in personalized medicine. To kick-off the event, Sarah Slavoff, of the Chemical Biology Institute, first introduced students to the human genome and later Yale graduate students and post-docs from Cell Biology, Chemistry, Genetics, Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology, and Neuroscience departments led a variety of hands-on activities and demonstrations. Among the activities, students were able to make green fluorescent protein stickers, tour the Yale Center for Genome Analysis, discuss 'bad science' in movies, learn about mass spectrometry, and create their own DNA necklaces.
High school students from across Greater New Haven visited Yale F&ES on April 2 for the fourth "Green Careers, Women Leaders," an annual event in which F&ES students share leadership skills with young women from across the region and showcase the variety of environmental career paths available to them.
Co-hosted by the F&ES group EQUID (Equity, Inclusion, Diversity), this year's event welcomed students from 13 high schools.
SheCode is a program for middle and higher school girls from the Elm City, that teaches them the fundamentals of coding. Girls in this program learn how to use coding to create their own websites, games, and designs. Started last fall by Joyce Chen '16 and Erika Hairston '18, this program features three sessions each semester, each two hours long. In the first session of this semester there were already around 25 girls in its first session of the semester. Students will learn programming languages like Scratch and Python through lectures and hands-on practice. In the first session, girls began to brainstorm ideas for their spring projects, including topics such as volleyball, virtual pianos, and the planet Venus. SheCode is driven to empower young, local female coders in a currently male dominated field.
The Pathways to the Arts & Humanities program was created last year aiming to link young students to programs and opportunities at Yale. Already gaining traction, the Pathways to the Arts & Humanities program has created an infrastructure to allow faculty and students on Yale's campus to better reach their audiences.
Reporters from the East Rock Community Magnet School newspaper, The East Rock Record, attended a press conference this week, to get the dirt from politicians about New Haven Reads' new location on Willow St. New Haven Reads is mainly focused around one-on-one tutoring, but also includes a summer program, clubs, and a book bank. Already serving 500 kids with 400 tutors, the program has still been forced to turn away a large amount of kids. Now the program has just been upgraded, with an entirely new location, in a brightly renovated space on the second floor of the old Marlin firearms factory. After its opening in early April, 150 more tutors and their new students from Kindergartners to Fifth Graders will hold sessions there each week. Access to tutors will now be much easier for a large amount of Fair Haven students in the program. At the press conference, East Rock Record reporters grilled speakers, including Mayor Toni Harp, New Haven State Representatives Roland Lemar and Toni Walker, and State Senator Gary Winfield, who were largely involved in securing grants for this space.
The first annual Yale Young Women's Leadership Launch conference, organized by SOM students, will provide female New Haven high school students with the opportunity to participate in a series of sessions focusing on career tracks for future CEOs, lawyers, scientists, and engineers. Several speakers, including Connecticut Rep. Elizabeth Esty, will supplement these tracks, exposing students to leadership positions within these arenas and resources to assist them in climbing career ladders. "I want everyone walking away from Evans Hall that day to feel like they can literally do anything in the world," said YWLL Founder and Co-Director Angelina Cardona SOM '16.

Two evenings of plays created by New Haven middle-school students and Yale School of Drama students will be staged on Friday and Saturday, June 19 and 20 at 7 p.m. in the Off-Broadway Theater, 41 Broadway. The performances mark the culmination of the 2015 Dwight/Edgewood Project (D/EP), a collaboration between the Yale Repertory Theatre and the School of Drama. Admission is free; seating is available on a first-come basis.
D/EP pairs eight 6th- and 7th-graders from the Barnard Environmental Studies Magnet School, who are selected based on their interest in writing and storytelling, with mentors from Yale School of Drama. During the month of June, the students work one-on-one with their mentors and a teaching artist to learn about theater and playmaking through interactive games and writing exercises. Each student then writes an original one-act play, which is designed, directed, and performed by the same Yale School of Drama artists who have served as teachers and mentors to the young playwrights.
Four plays will be presented each night. Friday's program features "The Woods" by Justin Threet, "Spy Guy" by Divine Wilkins, "Two New Worlds" by Marielys Bodden, and "The Appearance of Kelly, Queen of Zutarc" by Jalen Chandler. Saturday's program features "Chipskunk" by Angel Rovira, "Fearfull" by Jamiah Green, "The Unlikely Friendship" by Gianna Pressley, and "It's Hunting Time!" by Jayden Jimenez.
Co-op High School senior, Najeem Abubakar, argued and won his hypothetical case that teachers and school staff should be legally allowed to search students' cell phones, despite claims of privacy violations. The case was tried at the National Moot Court Competition in Washington D.C. in late March, after months of intensive legal coaching from students at Yale Law School, as part of the Marshall-Brennan Project, in which law students teach 25 participating high school students to understand and protect their constitutional rights.
In the hypothetical case—Marshall Brennan v. Capital City School District—a school security guard looked through a student's bag and then her cell phone, suspecting her of possessing drugs. He found confidential medical information by opening an app on the phone. The student had taken the school to court and lost. Abubakar represented the school on the student's appeal. Yale Law students Adam Saltzman and Michael Zucker had been working with the group since January, pulling similar real state cases for Co-op kids to review and draw from to build their cases.
Abubakar studied every free minute he had prior to the competition—on the train and in his hotel room the night before the moot trial competition. He is the third Co-op senior in a row to win the annual national competition.
For the past 10 years, the Science on Saturdays program has given community members insight into the life of Yale faculty and undergraduates. On six Saturdays every academic year, Pathways students and their parents gather on the second floor of Sterling Chemistry Lab for the event. For the first hour, Yale undergraduate and graduate students give hands-on demonstrations on a variety of scientific principles. The crowd then flows into a lecture hall for an hour-long presentation by one of Yale's many renowned faculty. Science on Saturdays is a joint venture presented by the Yale Scientific Magazine (YSM) and hosted by Kurt Zilm, professor of chemistry and chemical engineering. It is organized by Yale Synapse, YSM's outreach group, and Yale Pathways to Science.
Previous presentations have spanned topics from "Why Birds Are Dinosaurs" to "The Universe in Your Hands." The event highlighted in this article featured Stefan Simon, Director of the Yale Institute for the Preservation of Cultural Heritage, who presented a lecture on how forensic analysis is used to identify art fraud. As an expert conservation specialist, he explained how he uses technology and chemistry to examine pieces of art and to pinpoint fakes. This lecture was followed by two demonstrations outside of the lecture hall, respectively about the separation of components of a pigment, known as chromatography and use of camera filters to see the preliminary carbon sketches of old paintings.
IPCH participated with hands-on experiments and a lecture on forensic analysis in the field of cultural heritage at Science on Saturdays on January 31, 2015. Science on Saturdays is an award-winning public lecture and activity series designed to raise interest in science and engineering and is hosted by Kurt Zilm and Yale's Science Outreach. The event on the 31st involved a lecture by IPCH director Stefan Simon and engaging science demonstrations by members of the IPCH's Technical Studies Lab, Drs. Aniko Bezur, Erin Mysak, and Jens Stenger.
On April 5th and 6th, four New Haven public high school students traveled to Washington, D.C. to compete in the National Marshall-Brennan Moot Court Competition. This competition brings together the top finishers from a number of regional competitions, held earlier this year. These students, representing Hillhouse High School and Co-op High School, were coached by a number of Yale Law students, led by Program Director Alex Whatley and teachers Gilad Edelman, Marcus Curtis, and Xiao Wang.
This year's fictitious case involved whether a student must be read his Miranda rights after tweeting out a bomb threat from his personal Twitter account. To make their case, students utilized the constitutional principles they learned from the Marshall-Brennan Constitutional Literacy Project. The Project recruits law students from around the country to teach constitutional law classes at public high schools in their local area. Over twenty law schools currently participate in this Project, with this year marking Yale's fifth year of participation. Approximately 30 Yale Law students have been involved in the Project this past year, working with nearly forty area high school students.
Science on Saturdays is an award-winning lecture series that conveys the excitement of research and the passion of scientists to school-age children in New Haven and beyond. The event introduces middle-school-age children to scientists and explores who they are, and how and why they study what they do. It is designed to shatter stereotypes about scientists and to show the fun of science. The Yale faculty members participating in the program are of various backgrounds, ages, and disciplines. Each event involves a lecture and an engaging science demonstration and/or game run by Yale college students.
"Germ Busters! The Genetics Behind Our Amazing Immune System (or, why we aren't sick all the time)" is the topic of the next Science on Saturdays event there will be a hands-on demonstration from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m., and a lecture from 11 a.m. to noon.
On Thursday, January 30, twenty-six students from local middle schools and high schools will arrive at Yale to compete in the Open Round of the 2014 North American Computational Linguistics Olympiad (NACLO). Each student will take a written test consisting of linguistics puzzles. Some of these problems might look familiar from introductory linguistics assignments, while others involve developing a computational procedure to solve a linguistic task, and still others require students to decipher writing, numeral, calendar, or kinship systems. The top achievers across North America will then advance to NACLO's Invitational Round; the finalists there form teams that compete in the International Linguistics Olympiad. This is the first year that the Yale linguistics department has hosted the competition, organized by professors Raffaella Zanuttini and Bob Frank and two undergraduates, Aidan Kaplan and Tom McCoy, who participated in NACLO in high school and earned gold medals at the International Linguistics Olympiad in 2012 and 2013, respectively.
Mitra Miri (Neuroscience) has been a Fellow at the Graduate School's Office for Diversity and Equal Opportunity at Yale (ODEO), mentored a local student through the Hill Neighborhood Mentoring Program, and worked as a graduate assistant for the Science, Technology and Research Scholars Program, which is designed to support women, minority, economically underprivileged, and other historically underrepresented students in the sciences, engineering, and mathematics. But arguably her most ambitious volunteer project is Brain Education Day, which she has coordinated for the past three years in collaboration with ODEO, the Yale Pathways to Science Program, and fellow student Nikki Woodward (Neuroscience). This day-long event brings about 100 local public school students to campus, where they visit labs and interact with graduate students, undergraduates, medical students, post-doctoral fellows, and faculty. Last year's program included sheep brain dissections and sessions on comparative neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, and sensation and perception. Mitra's dissertation research focuses on seizures and what inhibits them on a cellular level. However, one of her main motivations is to make neuroscience accessible to non-scientists, a goal which she also pursues through the Yale Neuroscience Outreach Program, which is dedicated to promoting knowledge about and interest in neuroscience to local K-12 students through school visits.
Eight original plays — written by local middle-school students, and designed, produced, and performed by Yale School of Drama (YSD) students — will be staged on Friday, June 21, and Saturday, June 22.
The production is part of the 18th annual Dwight/Edgewood Project (D/EP), an after-school initiative which pairs the middle-school students with Yale School of Drama mentors, designers, and directors. The students spend the month of June learning about theater and writing original plays. The program culminates in performances of the students' work at 7 p.m. in the Off-Broadway Theater, 41 Broadway. The shows are free and open to the public.
D/EP 2013 will include students from Augusta Lewis Troup School, who were chosen, based on their interest in writing and storytelling, by school administrators and teachers, along with Boost! Service Corps member Lizzy Anderson. This year's playwrights include 7th graders Bianca Pagan, Dejae Barnes, Kyasia Sharpe, Synquea Jenkins, and Tah-Janay McKnight, and 6th graders Eliza Rayne Vargas, José Thomas, and Tyrease Pouncey Jr.


Microsoft Teams and Microsoft Planner are a terrific combination for planning event presence and managing any project.

It's not easy to run a business or sell a product especially when there's a lot of competition – both online and offline. However, with changing times and technologies, people are making big decisions on their smartphones and laptops. And it has become harder than ever to attract new customers, and most importantly, retain them.
To make your business a successful brand, you must focus on establishing and managing better customer relationships. This is the reason why customer relationship management has become the talk of the town. It is almost impossible to run a successful business without having loyal customers. Whether you are a CEO, a digital marketer, or a product manager, it is essential to understand your customers and their journeys with your product or services.
Customer lifecycle marketing can be defined as the process of providing personalized customer communication at each stage of a customer's journey in order to attract, convert and retain them, and eventually develop a better relationship with them. The ultimate intention of this type of marketing is to maximize the overall buying experience of customers while working towards boosting revenue and contributing to the growth of the brand.
To expand your business and improve profitability, one must know about the various lifecycle stages that customers go through and strategize for providing a better customer experience to retain them for as long as possible.
It is interesting to know that when the term "customer lifecycle marketing" was originated, it comprised of only three stages: attract, sell and wow. Today, not only the stages have different names but marketers have also expanded these stages and their definition as per the present needs of the time.
It is the first stage where your potential customers find or discover you for the first time. Some of the most common channels or mediums that enable you to be seen are through social media, content marketing and SEO.
It is this stage that customers are looking out or considering their options. At this stage, you should focus on influencing them to form a preference of your brand and start considering purchase options. This could be done through welcome campaigns, product descriptions, product comparisons and reviews.
Since marketing is all about making people act, it is this stage when you have to literally persuade your customers and encourage them to take the final call i.e. to make the purchase. The two most used methods are product recommendations and call-to-action (CTA).
At this stage, you have to work hard to win the loyalty of customers and make sure they stay with the brand always. Marketers use special discounts and come up with different loyalty schemes to retain customers.
During advocacy, digital marketers have to come up with processes and methods to make your loyal customers endorse your brand. The most trusted method would be to create campaigns that help you to display user-generated content on social media channels.
There are scenarios where customers lapse; it is during this stage that you come up with different ways to get them back.
Join our free workshop Attract. Engage. Profit. to discover how you can attract, engage and profit from new leads by systematically giving them what they desire at every stage of their customer journey.
After learning about customer lifecycle marketing and various stages in the marketing cycle, it's the right time to know how to win in the marketing lifecycle.
The first step should be to provide multiple channels to customers. The more the availability, the happier they are to get options to choose from. Bear in mind that whether customers are engaging with you on an app, a store, or through your official website, make sure they are getting a smooth experience via each and every channel because anything less could lose you a potential customer.
Welcome campaigns are an effective marketing strategy to get new customers and thus, boost profitability. Whenever someone (a potential customer) joins your email list, you should send him an automated list of emails as a part of your marketing strategy. It gives you an opportunity to introduce your brand to him and tell him the difference it could make to his life.
Create some messages and emails with content that helps you to build a relationship with them and get them excited about the product and, eventually, make a purchase.
These days, people have excellent customer experiences and service, and they have gotten used to it. However, there are so many organizations that haven't yet mastered this art of going an extra mile to wow their customers.
This can only be done if you know them or have some data that tells you about their preferences. Start focusing on making a personal connection with customers to win their trust.
Oftentimes, customers put an item in their cart or basket but leave the site without making a purchase. Whenever something like this happens, you get a cart abandonment email. Such information could be helpful to improve your conversion rates by knowing what could be the possible reason for their exit. You can entice the customer to come back and buy by offering a discount or something similar.
The whole point of creating a marketing strategy is to make the customers act. It depends on your needs that what action you want them to take. Make use of customer lifecycle marketing strategy to let your current customers, prospects and lapsed customers to take a step that is profitable to the brand. Thus, one should never underestimate the power of a well-placed call-to-actions through every phase of the customer journey.
It could be a bit difficult to understand and get used to the concept of customer lifecycle marketing but it doesn't mean that it's impossible to be taken care of. More and more brands and organizations are realizing its importance and are coming up with innovative ways to incorporate it into their existing marketing strategy and increase profits.

Packers Sign Undrafted Green Bay Native as Center
Posted on 08/16/2016 by Contributor
The Green Bay Packers have a tradition where players ride bicycles to and from practice during training camp, which has been going on for a long time. As a kid, Kyle Steuck parked his bike outside the team's training facility, hoping one of the players will pick him up for the traditional ride. Now, he is a member of the Packers who has young kids hoping he picks one of them for the ride. NFL free picks have the Packers winning the NFC North, but the team still has to contend with the Minnesota Vikings, who won the division last year.
Steuck, who grew up in Green Bay and went to high school five miles from Lambeau Field, signed with the Packers on Saturday and made his practice debut with the team on Sunday. He told reporters after practice that playing for the Packers is a big deal for someone that grew up in the town. He said he remembered going to practice and hoping one of the players grabs his bike, now he is the one grabbing a kid's bike, and called it a dream come true.
As a home-grown talent, there was a lot of local media members around Steuck in the area of the Packers locker room where undrafted players change. Several Packers players wondered what all the commotion was about until tight end Casey Pierce told them that Steuck was from Green Bay.
Punter Peter Mortell said he spoke with Steuck in the morning before practice and told him to take it all in. Martell also told Steuck that he was going to feel overwhelmed a little, so he needed to take a step back and just soak it all in.
Mortell told reporters he knows a little about what Steuck is going through because he is also from Green Bay. The punter added that he thinks it's cool to have players from the area on the team and hopes it inspires other Green Bay kids because he and Steuck are living their childhood dreams right now playing for the Packers.
Packers head coach Mike McCarthy told reporters he thinks the situation is funny because the first eight years he spent with the team, they didn't have a player from the state of Wisconsin on the team. Now, it's like the team has an overflow of players from the state and the city they play in.
McCarthy added that it has to be great to play for your hometown team, especially in a city like Green Bay where the fans are very passionate about their team. The coach also said he hopes Steuck takes full advantage of the unique opportunity he has been given.
Like Kyle Steuck, Mortell hung around the Packers as a kid, but had more access to the players because his grandfather was the Lambeau Field clock operator during home games, which is something his father does now.
Steuck was signed by the Packers after injuries decimated the center position. Starting center Corey Linsley remains on the physically unable to perform list because of a hamstring injury. Jacob Flores and Matt Rotterdam have also been unable to practice because of injuries, leaving the team with a few healthy centers.

Henry Deringer (* 26. Oktober 1786 in  Easton, Pennsylvania; † 28. Februar 1868 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) war ein US-amerikanischer Büchsenmacher. Sein Vater war ein thüringischer Einwanderer namens Döringer, änderte aber diesen Namen bei Ankunft in Amerika. Wie sein Sohn war er Büchsenmacher, er ist bekannt für die von ihm hergestellten Kentucky-Gewehre und -Pistolen.

Henry Deringer (Junior) entwickelte Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts eine kleine Pistole, die sein bekanntestes Produkt wurde, den von 1835 bis 1868 in Philadelphia hergestellten Deringer. Mit einer dieser Waffen wurde am 14. April 1865 der US-amerikanische Präsident Abraham Lincoln durch den Schauspieler John Wilkes Booth ermordet.

Weiterentwicklungen und Kopien führten später zur Gattungsbezeichnung Derringer für solche Pistolen, die überwiegend von anderen Herstellern gefertigt wurden. Auch spätere, von der amerikanischen Waffenindustrie hergestellte kleine Patronenwaffen werden als Deringer oder Derringer bezeichnet.

Busdriver: Fear of a Black Tangent
By Pierre Hamilton / 11 May 2005
Busdriver
Fear of a Black Tangent
It takes a certain kind of breed to ride the bus, especially when the driver's only map is his maniacal, stream-of-consciousness flow and a penchant for stringing together lyrical couplets from the zeitgeist. But, as Tom Wolfe said to describe the LSD-induced antics of the Merry Pranksters, a group who traveled America freaking out the establishment in his psychedelic tome The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, "You're either on the bus or you're off the bus". And if you're on the bus, you have to hang on for dear life. Busdriver forces you to do exactly that, going off on absurd tangents, whipping around this obtuse album blindfolded, wildly veering from rap's standard course.
When he says his album will sell more copies in France, he acknowledges his limited fan base. His "prog rap" is like how jazz sounded to the ears of most Americans — too strange. U.K. grime has yet to find its footing in North America, so it's hard to believe an emcee claiming to be "the first black astronaut to walk the bare moon" will be anything but the hero of the pseudo-intellectual hipster crowd.
On "Reheated Pop!" he attacks the posthumous success of rapper's corpses. The Omid-produced track barrels through space and time, deftly defying gravity with a shuffling drumbeat as Busdriver asks how an emcee's death has become a label's greatest cash cow. His gut-busting verses are rife with references to Hello Kitty, winged gnomes, and Dick Clark's head and often leave you doubled over in laughter or, alternatively, dumbfounded.
He gleans some knowledge from physicist Stephen Hawking for "Wormholes" and takes a stab at his hipster audience on the fast-paced rhythm of "Befriend the Friendless Friendster". And he does it all with moxie, spinning complex but perhaps meaningless narratives. "Happiness ('s Unit of measurement)" finds him explaining that Fear of a Black Tangent doesn't mean white kids can't listen to it. It's just a spoof on the Public Enemy album Fear of a Black Planet.
Enlisting his own crew of Merry Pranksters, Busdriver requisitions producers with names every bit as mysterious and eclectic as their unorthodox styles. They include Daedelus, Thavius Beck, Omid, Paris Zax, and some cat named Danger Mouse. Their contributions combine to form something mainstream audiences rarely embrace, an album that ventures way out past the fringe with no intent to return. It's a rap space odyssey; the sound charts new and unexplored territories, latching onto Busdriver's unorthodox delivery and pace, producing tracks that range from the overpoweringly hallucinogenic "Low Flying Books" to the narcoleptic nursery rhyme "Lefty's Lament".
Busdriver is either an emcee from the future or the future of the emcee. Not the first prog rapper to appear, he dons the aesthetic of an MF Doom or Kool Keith, two guys who broke barriers, winning over fringe audiences in droves. Fear of a Black Tangent is a genuine freak-out. Elements of jazz, downtempo, old school/futuristic hip-hop, and psychedelia weave in and out of the album. At times, it's sheer hilarity. At others, excruciatingly tedious. What you always get, however, is the unexpected, and that's the music I like to hum in my eardrums. He makes lyrical connections where none seem to exist. He stops abruptly, then loops back with an inspired dose self-indulgence, sarcasm, and acid logic, making Fear of a Black Tangent a trip that you'll wanna buy a ticket to ride.

With the way things are, we most certainly are headed to a dystopia of our own. Honestly, it was a long time coming which is why the fact that we have so many books and movies on the topic is not surprising in the least. These fictional worlds though are magnificent in their imagining and some hit quite close to home. While not all have the stomach for it, for those who enjoy the genre it is extremely engaging. Here are some of the best dystopian movies we're sure you'll enjoy.
Warm Bodies (2013)
Zombie apocalypse movies mostly end with blood and gore, more deaths and the earth laid to a barren wasteland, this film though, not so much. Ending on a positive note, it challenges the usual narrative and brings a twist to genre.
Warm bodies follows the story of an infected boy and his relationship with a living girl. As he spends more time with her, he starts gaining back his humanity and becomes the catalyst that brings back other zombies to life. A little bit of romance and comedy, this light-hearted film is perfect for a day of relaxation and enjoyment.
The Maze Runner (2014)
Based on the novel by the same name, the film follows the story of young Thomas who wakes up in The Glade with no recollection of who he is and where he came from. The place is strange to say the least with the people inhabiting it with similarly sketchy memories. So, how do you get out? Well, you must find the way out from the deadly maze. They must run as fast as they can against the monsters behind them to find the opening, wherever it may be. It's a nightmare to live in and only strong conviction can deliver them from this accursed life.
It started off as a graphic novel, which went unpublished. However, Kosinski's phenomenal work managed to become a sci-fi film that would go down in the annals of the dystopian genre. The film follows Jack, a drone repairman, following the orders he receives to salvage the abandoned earth. He lives a happy life with his partner, searching for resources on earth and trying to make it habitable once again. His world is thrown into chaos and he begins questioning all he believes in when he finds a crashed alien spaceship. From then on nothing is the same.
I, Robot (2004)
A worlds where artificial intelligence takes over, this one hits close to home. Based on Isaac Asimov's sci-fi thriller, the movie follows detective Del Spooner, played by Will Smith, who is wary and skeptical of the robots presence in the world. Sure, they're ruled by three laws that protect humans but armed with the ability to think on their own, you never know.
George Orwell's 1984 is an iconic novel that really puts into perspective the wretched world we can expect if humanity continues the way it is and while in 1984 we did not see this world become a reality, we did find a world showing spiraling into a nightmare. The film showcases a totalitarian regime in power that is feeding lies to the people about the state of world affairs to control them. When John Hurt, an office worker, finds the truth and learns of the deception he goes on the run.
Snowpiercer (2013)
Each culture has its take on a dystopian world and if you're looking to learn of a different perspective, South Korean Snowpiercer might be an enticing find.
The movie takes place in a world where a climate disaster has forced surviving humans to live on a perpetually moving train. Constantly being reminded of your lower class status and the class divide that punishes the less privileged, Curtis leads a violent uprising. As he and his followers go from one room to the next, you're in for surprises that'll take your mind for a spin. This thought-provoking film is not one to miss.
The Platform (2019)
This one is a Spanish film, one of Netflix original movies. The story takes place at a prison called the Vertical Self-Management Center where inmates are fed through a platform system that travels from the top to the bottom. With new food servedat the top only, each level below only gets the grub left behind by those on the floor above. Highlighting race and class inequality, the film, has enjoyed widespread popularity since 2019, when it premiered at the Toronto Film Festival.
There you go, these movies offer a variety of storylines, some dark while others a bit lighter. Powered with great scripts and directed by pros, they are a must watch. All you need now is a good cable TV plan that allows you to watch what you like when you like. Spectrum's Select TV channels offer you the perfect lineup rich in entertainment. Add to that their huge on demand library and the fun never ends even if the world does. So, go ahead and get your movie night on!

Now that I've got you all booted up, it's time to dive into the world of autumnal coats. Let me tell you that the options in autumn are endless, whether you are going for a more lightweight coat and layer it up, or whether you dive straight into faux furs, it is all perfectly acceptable come October time.
If you haven't been able to tell by now (bless you), autumn is by far my favourite season when it comes to fashion. Every year my favourite patterns make a stronger comeback and all sorts of leather and faux fur hit the shelves. The colours get a little deeper and darker, the fabrics a little warmer and softer and it becomes acceptable again to make your coat the main item of your outfit!
