Cornell Tech, a graduate school at Cornell University focused on technology, business and entrepreneurship, has inaugurated the Tata Innovation Center, a facility formerly known as The Bridge that "brings academia and industry together under one roof to share ideas and research on next-generation digital technologies and how to commercialize new areas of collaboration." The new center is named for Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a global IT services firm that contributed $50 million to help the school invest in technology research as well as expand K–12 digital literacy programs in New York City.
The goal is to establish the Tata Innovation Center as a hub for New York's tech sector, support innovation at Cornell Tech and boost economic competitiveness in the region. "The Tata Innovation Center will drive applied research and collaboration between Cornell, industry and the startup ecosystem in emerging areas including human machine interaction and cyber security, benefitting both U.S. business and local communities," explained Natarajan Chandrasekaran, chairman of the Tata Group, in a statement.
The facility will house a mix of companies from diverse industries (including TCS), working alongside Cornell academic teams, according to a news announcement. Research areas will include human-computer interaction and cybersecurity. In addition, TCS and Cornell Tech will work together to "promote the integration of computational expertise" in the region's K–12 schools. "This multi-year community engagement effort aims to build digital fluency and computational acumen among students, educators and schools in the nation's largest public school system, with a special focus on girls, minorities and the underserved," the announcement said.
"Cornell Tech stands apart because of our focus on academic excellence, coupled with real-world impact, and this new partnership with TCS will dramatically improve our ability to make a difference, from commercializing research to engaging with public school students across New York City," said Dan Huttenlocher, Jack and Rilla Neafsey Dean and vice provost of Cornell Tech, in a statement. "TCS shares our vision of ensuring all students and teachers have meaningful engagements with computer science in the classroom, and with their help we will reach even more schools."


The paper cup that contained our trial for the new coffee from Starbucks reminded me of a theme I might explore at the PSFK Conference San Francisco – it's about whether big companies are really doing enough to support the drive towards sustainability, whether they can or whether we need a new breed of alternative brands to replace them.
Look at the picture. Can Starbucks really only provide cups with 10% recycled material? Why not 100%? Am sure there's a standard excuse but if all they can muster is 10% why do they bother saying it on the packaging. And I think of something Jeff Staple said in this clip at the PSFK Conference New York 2008 where he talked about trying to make one out of 2000 Nike shoe designs environmentally sustainable. The question I ask is, why not all 2000 now?


The Sun Sets the Stage for an Amazing Show!
After the horrible, stormy day that was the second last day of May, it seems the month has decided to go out with a stunning, sunny bang! With little wind and plenty of sunshine, both Dolphin Spirit and Mischief were able to get out on the water and enjoy some mid-week therapy with our dolphins! It wasn't just the passengers sunning themselves either, as Mischief found at Chanonry Point, where a group of 8 dolphins were enjoying the weather and good food just off the point.
Our local boy Charlie is very well known for being a cheeky rascal, regardless of who he's with and he's always keen to put on a performance. Today was no different! While hanging around with Honey and her calf from last year, Charlie gave a fantastic set of breaches in the Chanonry Narrows (one of which is pictured above)! You can only imagine that Honey was underwater rolling her eyes at him, much like mum Kesslet must do. He's certainly a show-off and a bad influence on the little ones! Zephyr and her little one were also around, a little further away, as well as big Scoopy, who was chilling out with Bonnie and her youngster. In total contrast to Charlie, Bonnie was rolling around all relaxed-like in the currents as Scoopy and her youngster swam alongside. It was nice to see that it wasn't just a good time for all those watching!
And if that wasn't enough, the local seals were also getting a little up close and personal! Our sightings of them have been increasing steadily over the past couple months, and as we come into the pupping season over summer, it's only set to get better on that front too! That being said, we had a few couple curious seafarers pop up to say hello to the boats too. One even seemed to join the Mischief in a spot of dolphin watching! With the better weather too, hopefully our resident harbour seals will be appearing on the mudflats as well. It's all looking good here at Dolphin Spirit sightings-wise! Why not join us? You can book your experience here!
Not all dolphin-waters with Mischief had waterproofs!
Meet Some of the Moray Firth's Superstar Dolphins!
Upon writing the "Meet the Team" segments, it becomes apparent that we actually haven't given you a proper introduction to the other stars of the show - the dolphins! In today's blog we will cover a few of our most spotted individuals, how we identify them, and where we find them! How many on the list have you spotted?
Easily our favourite local lass here at Dolphin Spirit, Kesslet has been present on our trips since day one. Arguably the easiest to identify, due to her incredibly curved dorsal fin, Kesslet is a common sight around the River Ness and Kessock Channel. At the young age of 22, Kesslet is considered to be in the prime of her life. She has had 3 calves so far, though only one of which has survived - her son Charlie. Kesslet stands out, not just in appearance but in personality, choosing to spend a lot of time hunting on her own. She is occasionally joined in her hunts and travels by Charlie or her old pal Scoopy. That being said, Kesslet is also sometimes spotted among larger groups further out towards Chanonry; groups which will normally include Charlie, Scoopy, Bonnie, and Bonnie's calf. She seems to be particularly fond of sea trout, a food which keeps her around the Inner Firth even in winter.
Charlie is a cheeky chappy, and we love seeing him around. Ever since Kesslet had and lost her last calf, Charlie has remained a little distant from the Kessock Channel, but often returns to check in on his mum (what a good son!). Charlie will be 10 this year, making him a sub-adult; he's not quite the age to start breeding yet, but that doesn't stop him showing off in the hopes it will get him some attention! Charlie is a member of a young male pod affectionately named "The Bad Boys' Club" who are known for their boisterous antics and acrobatic displays. Even on his own, Charlie displays these youthful behaviours, often breaching and showing off to any boat who'll let him. Charlie's social groups are particularly wide, though he is known to flirt with various mother-calf groups, including Zephyr, Bonnie, Honey and all their youngsters. Bonnie's calf and Charlie seem to have an almost brotherly-spat going on, as when they're together they are often bouncing around each other and socializing, despite a 6-or-so year gap. Charlie is quite easy to identify in a number of ways (he is pictured above). His fin is tall and slightly bent near the top, with a few newly-accentuated nicks near the top and middle. His face is very recognizable, with a band of white over his rostrum (nose) with what almost looks like little black freckles.
Zephyr will most likely be seen by the Dolphin Mischief, as she is a very regular visitor to Chanonry Point. Zephyr is a mother to a couple of calves, namely Breeze and her newest youngster who is 1.5 years old and doesn't have a name yet. This youngster will often be spotted at Zephyr's side, though is becoming more independent now - often adventuring his environment and hunting tiddlers just within sight of his mum. Having been around for a while, Zephyr is very used to boats and often curious of them, though if there's salmon going you can bet that will be on her mind more than chasing boats! Zephyr is perfectly happy to hunt on her own, usually the first dolphin to arrive at the point. That being said, she will mingle with other mothers when they do arrive. She's an excellent hunter, and can easily catch 3 or 4 big salmon in a single session. Zephyr is quite easy to identify, with a slightly curved fin like Kesslet, though not as pronounced. The rear side of her fin is slightly nicked when you see it up close, and her back just under her fin has some mottled patches.
Scoopy is a bit of a social butterfly, flitting in and out the Inner Firth, possibly spotted anywhere. He has been hanging around with Kesslet for a number of years, and is thought to be just a little bit older than her, perhaps around 25 years old. Up until recently, when he was around 18 or so, Scoopy was relatively unmarked and was generally on the outside of social gatherings. These days, however, Scoopy is relatively well marked and easy to spot, with two large nicks near the middle of his fin and a number of rakes and marks around his head. He mingles in generally the same circles as Charlie would, and sometimes travels on his own. His shyness extends to how he treats boats; he's a little elusive. In the right circles he can be encouraged to get excited, but is generally quite relaxed when we've spotted him.
Bonnie's Aberdeen University ID is "Squat Fin", and it is easy to see why. Very easily recognizable by her short dorsal fin and generally quite petite stature, Bonnie is another of our commonly spotted individuals. She is often accompanied by her older male calf, who is around 4 years old now. In comparison to Bonnie, her calf has a very tall fin that is as of yet relatively unmarked. When they were last spotted aboard Dolphin Spirit, Bonnie's calf had a few shallow rakes on the left hand side of the dorsal fin, though those will have faded by now. Bonnie is a very sweet little dolphin, always part of a group and generally with either other mothers or the youngsters; it seems she has a bit of a nurturing side! She has been spotted right down into the Kessock Channel and out at Chanonry, so there is opportunity to spot her on any sailing, like Scoopy.


It's no secret that I LOVE libraries. I use my fabulous public library weekly. And librarians have a special place in my heart, because they do what they do with such joy and passion - they love books, and they love bringing books and people together. It's a wonderful thing.
This year, the YALSA YA Lit Symposium was in my backyard here in Portland, Oregon so my publisher had me attend the book blitz Saturday evening, which was SO much fun. Librarians in attendance were given six tickets each and with those tickets, they were able to go around and get signed books for themselves and/or for their library. I was able to chat with a bunch of librarians and signed a WHOLE bunch of books, and it makes me happy to think of some of those books making their way back to find homes in libraries or even some teens' homes when they're given away as door prizes and other things.
Three especially fun things happened during the book blitz.
1) A librarian said, "Since The Bridge from Me to You is on Soaring Eagle list, I'm wondering if you'd sign this bookplate for my own personal copy back home?" I was like - the what list? Turns out Wyoming has a state reading list called The Soaring Eagle list and my book is one of fifteen books that are nominated for the award that will be announced in the spring of 2016. Landing on a state reading list is always a fun thing!
2) A librarian came up to me and said, "You're probably not going to believe this but I'm Mrs. Smith's daughter-in-law. You know, your old teacher, Patsy Smith?"
and wondered if it might be the Mrs. Smith she was related to. What are the chances, she wondered? Still, she asked, and of course Mrs. Smith didn't recognize my name, because it's my married name. But when she saw my picture she was like - yes, that was one of my students!
So I got to sign a book for that teacher who I adore so very much. Isn't that cool?
3) A librarian (do you see a pattern here?) told me All We Have is Now is one of the best YA novels she's read in the past TEN YEARS! Holy Moly. Do you know how nice it was to hear that? Very, very, very nice.
Thank you YALSA and librarians for a great evening, and for all you do for teens and YA literature!
A great thing you can do for a book that you think might be good for reluctant readers is to nominate it for the YALSA Quick Picks List. I've had two books on the list in years past - I Heart You, You Haunt Me and The Day Before. Anyone can nominate by filling out THIS FORM. Publishers love it when books make these lists.
We went to New York City a couple of weeks ago. I thought I might share some photos I took. It was a fabulous trip. I had lunch with my editors, saw some great plays, ate some delicious food. My husband went with me and it's the first vacation we've had together without kids in like 20 years. So yeah, it was wonderful.
Hey, that's one of my publishers!
The trunk that carried the first Harry Potter books to the U.S.
One of the plays we saw - it was so good!
Now I'm back and hard at work! Happy almost November!!
Kate Messner, PB and MG author, recently shared the following information on Facebook and I thought I'd share the information here as well.
"What books did you love to pieces? Have you suggested them for your state's children's choice awards? These state lists make a huge difference for authors."
I'm Lisa Schroeder, your host for this stop in the tour. I'm the author of over 15 books for kids and teens, including I HEART YOU, YOU HAUNT ME, CHASING BROOKLYN, IT'S RAINING CUPCAKES and my latest release, ALL WE HAVE IS NOW. This is my first time participating in the hunt and I'm thrilled to be here. So let's get to it!
This bi-annual event was first organized by author Colleen Houck as a way to give readers a chance to gain access to exclusive bonus material from their favorite authors...and a chance to win some awesome prizes! On this hunt, you not only get access to exclusive content from each author (mine is out there somewhere - can't wait for you to see it!), you also get a clue for the hunt. Add up the clues, and you can enter for our prize--one lucky winner will receive one signed book from each author on the hunt in my team! But play fast: this contest (and all the exclusive bonus material) will only be online for THREE DAYS.
on simultaneously, and you can enter one or all! I am a part of the Green Team -- but there are SEVEN other teams which means eight chances TOTAL to win huge sets of signed books!
Rules: Open internationally, though anyone below the age of 18 should have a parent or guardian's permission to enter. To be eligible for the grand prize, you must submit the completed entry form by October 5, at noon Pacific Time. Entries sent without the correct number or without contact information will NOT be considered.
I'm thrilled to be hosting Debra Dockter for the fall 2015 YA Scavenger Hunt.
When her parents told her she could be anything she wants, she took it to heart. She became a ballerina (performing "Swan Lake" 28 times), worked as a magician's assistant, became a child psychologist, and currently works as a college professor and YA author. She lives in Kansas with her family. You can visit her online at www.debradockter.com and twitter: @debdockterYA.
Debra is the author of DEADLY DESIGN which "School Library Journal" calls "an action-packed, page-turning thriller." You can purchase the book at many online retailers including Amazon.
Debra is sharing one of her favorite scenes from the book, which requires a little backstory. As you can see from the description above, Kyle and Connor are genetically engineered twins. But the family doesn't realize that the boys have been genetically altered to be superior beings. Connor succeeds at everything he does, while Kyle, being two years younger, doesn't think he can compete with his brother's greatness, so he doesn't even try. Over the years, he starts to resent his brother's almost superstar status in their small town, so much so that he flips off anyone who accidentally calls him by his twin brother's name.
The following scene occurs after Connor dies on his 18th birthday, and Kyle is asked to read Connor's valedictorian speech during, what should have been, Connor's high school graduation. Hope you enjoy!
"I'll never forget when you were in first grade. We were walking home, and you wouldn't talk to me because the teacher made you miss recess when you didn't get a perfect score on your spelling test. She thought that because we have the same DNA, we'd have the same brain, the same likes and dislikes. But the truth is I had to learn those words. Maybe it's that oldest child syndrome or something. I had to get them right, but you didn't. You could have if you'd wanted to, but you didn't, and that's okay. Hell, that's great, as long as you know you could have.
Okay, now, don't forget to enter the contest for a chance to win a ton of signed books, including books by me, Debra Dockter, and many more. To enter, you need to know that my favorite number is 15. Add up all the numbers you find for the Green Team, and you'll have the secret code to enter to be eligible to win the prize!
To keep going, you need to check out Kay Honeyman's website, the next author on the hunt.
But WAIT, before you go, how about a little extra giveaway (for an entirely separate prize)? Because I LOVE giveaways. This one is open to US residents only, and you must be 13 or older to enter.
Just fill out the Rafflecopter below and voila, you're entered to win a lovely framed print with a quote from ALL WE HAVE IS NOW along with your choice of any one of my YA novels, signed and personalized!

Health minister provides assurance to establish blood banks in all districts
IMPHAL, June 14: Health minister L. Jayentakumar Singh has today announced that the government will soon establish blood banks in the all districts of the state to reduce the sufferings of the people.
The minister made the announcement during the Blood Donor Day 2011 observation held today at the conference hall of JNIMS under the theme "More Blood More Life". The day was jointly organised by the Manipur State AIDS Control Society and State Blood Transfusion Council, Manipur.
The programme was graced by minister, L. Jayentakumar, as the chief guest, director JNIMS Prof. PK. Das Gupta as functional president and Medical superintendent, JNIMS Dr. L. Khomdon and commissioner Health and Family welfare Moses Chalai, as the guests of honour.
Further in his chief guest speech the minister stated that there are only three blood banks in the state which are located at RIMS, JNIMS and one at Churachandpur district. He lamented that people from remote areas especially of hill districts are the ones bearing the major wrath of the scarcity of blood. Many have lost their lives due to this and the problem is still stalking the hapless people, the minister maintained.
He also stated that during his tenure as the health minister of the state he has come across various unfortunate cases including a pregnant woman from a remote part of the state who expired on her way to Imphal due to loss of blood.
The minister said that the government is aware of the situation of the shortcomings in terms of man power; infrastructure faced by the health department and added that all-out efforts are on to improved the situation.
He also maintained that the effort cannot bear fruits without the co-operation of the people.
Encouraging the need of blood donation he urged the people to be aware of the benefits that could save lives and further urges the general public to start donating blood.
Dr. Khomdon, Medical Superintendent, JNIMS, while speaking at the observation stated that there is no replacement for blood despite the advancement in computer technology.
He stressed the need of mass blood donations and drew the government's attention to improve the misery being faced due to scarcity of blood in the state.
As a part of the observation 39 outstanding blood donors including three members of NGOs were presented with medal, certificate and citation as a mark of honour for their service.
On the other hand, the day was also organised at the RIMS Jubilee Hall wherein at least 32 volunteers donated blood as a part of the observation.

Maryland's Borbely Interviews for Pitt OL Position
Aaron Donald Wins PFWA NFL Defensive Player of the Year for Third Time
UPDATE: Feb. 8, 10:56 a.m: Pittsburgh Sports Now has learned that Maryland assistant Dave Borbely will interview on Thursday for the open Pitt offensive line coach position.
As you know by now, Pitt is in the process of trying to find a new offensive line coach after the departure of John Peterson.
The question is who are some names that Pat Narduzzi will be looking at?
Yesterday, PSN's Alan Saunders introduced you to some names that could be considered.
Here's another one to add to the list: Dave Borbely.
Borbely is currently at the University of Maryland in a role as the special assistant to the head coach. He joined D.J. Durkin's staff last year as offensive line coach but was reassigned after the season.
Borbely is a veteran assistant coach, having been in the business for 35 years. Prior to Maryland, he had stints as the offensive line coach at Stanford, Notre Dame, Colorado, Louisville and Virginia.
Last season at Maryland, their running game rushed for over 2,500 for just the seventh time in team history and the first time since 2003. The Terps also scored 26 rushing touchdowns—most for that school since 2007.
As far as his recruiting background, Borbely has a deep background recruiting the Northeast and the West Coast.

2017 Honda CR-V Makes a Strong First Impression
Added size, sophistication, and safety bolster the redesigned SUV's appeal
By Jeff S. Bartlett
Competition is fierce in the increasingly popular small SUV category, with leading contenders routinely freshening their models with an emphasis on fuel efficiency and safety. Engaging in this sales battle, Honda is launching its latest salvo against the Ford Escape, Subaru Forester, Toyota RAV4, and others with an all-new CR-V, on sale starting in December. In an attempt to keep its sales crown, the 2017 Honda CR-V adds convenience, technology, and refinement; expands advanced safety feature offerings; and, for the first time, offers an uplevel turbocharged engine.
Slightly larger than the outgoing version, the fifth-generation CR-V is 1.4 inches wider and taller, and a smidge longer. Despite the growth spurt, the CR-V weighs about 58 pounds less than before.
Based on a Touring model rented from Honda for an early preview, this CR-V feels substantial in scale and substance. The size gains translate to a commodious cabin over the already roomy previous generation.
Check our buying guide and ratings for new and used SUVs.
The top-of-the-line Touring's interior is decidedly upscale, with premium trim well-executed throughout. There are soft-touch materials for the dash and door trim, attractive matte wood trim, and the seats and steering wheel feature tasteful stitching. The front seats are very comfortable, with welcoming contours, soft-yet-supportive cushioning, and a four-way lumbar adjustment—a feature some models from Honda's upscale Acura division lack. Rear-seat room is generous and easily accessed through doors that swing out almost 90 degrees.
An available 7-inch touch-screen infotainment system offers Android Auto/Apple CarPlay compatibility and Garmin navigation. We are enthused to see a real knob is used with the infotainment system for volume controls, but it is just a halfway measure. We would have preferred a tuning knob instead—the volume can be readily controlled via the steering wheel. Despite the update, our frustrations with Honda infotainment systems continue. Some common functions require multiple distracting steps, and the trip info is tedious to scroll through. Phone interaction through steering wheel controls and the instrument cluster is a big improvement, however.
A convenient power hatch adds luxury on this high-level trim, with handy hands-free operation—just wave a foot beneath the rear bumper to open the liftgate. The cargo area itself is generously proportioned. For hauling large payloads, the seats can be folded flat from the rear and the headrests flipped down.
The base CR-V LX is fitted with a 184-hp, 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine that's carried over from the 2016 model. But the EX, EX-L, and Touring trim levels sport a 1.5-liter turbo engine with 190 hp. Both engines have similar horsepower ratings, but the turbo delivers more low-end punch, making it feel more effortless.
The combination of the turbo's low end swell of power and continuously variable transmission (CVT) works well, masking the droney, rubber-band tendencies typically experienced with a CVT.
Thanks to standard active grille shutters to improve aerodynamics, the turbo engine is EPA-rated at 30 mpg overall in front-wheel drive and 29 mpg overall in all-wheel drive. That combo bests the base engine, which is rated at 28 mpg overall in FWD and 27 mpg overall in AWD.
During our time with the 2017 CR-V, we observed 26 mpg in mixed driving, according to the onboard display. We'll see whether the new CR-V matches the 26 mpg overall we measured with our Subaru Forester when we buy our own.
Handling has improved, with better contained body roll and quicker steering, though it's not as sporty as a Ford Escape. The ride has also improved, particularly over the 2015-2016 CR-V. Though the suspension skews firm, the ride is compliant and composed.
Crucially, noise is much better managed. The CR-V's notoriously loud road noise is almost eradicated, contributing to the car's more substantial and premium feel.
All CR-Vs include a rearview camera. Advanced safety gear such as forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and blind-spot warning come with the EX and higher trims. Thankfully, LaneWatch is gone. That unique Honda feature showed a video feed on the center display every time the right directional signal was on. But LaneWatch was no substitute for an actual blind-spot monitoring system that covers both sides. In addition, the EX, EX-L, and Touring will include adaptive cruise control, automatic high beams, lane-departure warning, and lane-keep assist.
As before, the base LX will come with an appealing starting price, but most buyers are likely to opt for the EX and higher for the added convenience and safety features.
Overall, the 2017 Honda CR-V boasts notable improvements throughout that make it very competitive. Plus, the incremental size increase makes the CR-V a viable option for shoppers considering a midsized SUV.
We will be buying our own soon to test, then we'll know how it truly stacks up.

T is trading at a premium to all four valuations above. Since T's tangible book value is not meaningful, a Graham number can not be calculated. The stock is trading at a 31.1% premium to its calculated fair value of $26.20. T did not earn any Stars in this section.
T earned two Stars in this section for 1.) and 3.) above. A Star was earned since the Free Cash Flow payout ratio was less than 60% and there were no negative Free Cash Flows over the last 10 years. T earned a Star for having an acceptable score in at least two of the four Key Metrics measured. The company has paid a cash dividend to shareholders every year since 1984 and has increased its dividend payments for 30 consecutive years.
T earned a Star in this section for its NPV MMA Diff. of the $1,077. This amount is in excess of the $500 target I look for in a stock that has increased dividends as long as T has. The stock's current yield of 5.24% exceeds the 3.22% estimated 20-year average MMA rate.
Memberships and Peers: T is a member of the S&P 500, a Dividend Aristocrat, a member of the Broad Dividend Achievers™ Index and a Dividend Champion. The company's peer group includes: CenturyLink, Inc. (CTL) with a 6.6% yield, Sprint Nextel Corp. (S) with a 0.0% yield and Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ) with a 4.3% yield.
Conclusion: T did not earn any Stars in the Fair Value section, earned two Stars in the Dividend Analytical Data section and earned one Star in the Dividend Income vs. MMA section for a total of three Stars. This quantitatively ranks T as a 3-Star Hold stock.
Using my D4L-PreScreen.xls model, I determined the share price would need to increase to $44.80 before T's NPV MMA Differential decreased to the $500 minimum that I look for in a stock with 30 years of consecutive dividend increases. At that price the stock would yield 4.0%.
Resetting the D4L-PreScreen.xls model and solving for the dividend growth rate needed to generate the target $500 NPV MMA Differential, the calculated rate is -0.7%. This dividend growth rate is lower than the 2.3% used in this analysis, thus providing a margin of safety. T has a risk rating of 2.00 which classifies it as a Medium risk stock.
The gains in consumer wireless and broadband should continue to outpace losses of wireline customers. After its failed attempt to acquire T-Mobile, T has been adding wireless spectrum and has the liquidity to continue to grow. The company recently agreed to purchase Leap Wireless for $15 per share in cash, which should allow it to accelerate the growth of its prepaid business.
Investors looking for yield in solid companies have run T's stock price up over the last year. It is currently trading above my calculated fair value price of $26.20. I will look for opportune situations to add to my position.
Full Disclosure: At the time of this writing, I was long in T (2.1% of my Dividend Growth Portfolio). See a list of all my dividend growth holdings here.

Revision Strategies for Prose Writers (with Kate Senecal) - ONLINE
SKU: MWRSPW22
The revision process for writers is often billed as a way to "find mistakes and fix them," but in this 8 week course we'll reframe revising as a process of inquiry, a mechanism for prose writers to get at the heart of their creative intent, and a urge their work to grow into its best and truest self. During each meeting, writers will learn and practice targeted revision exercises that are geared toward seeing their work with new eyes and supporting them in addressing big picture issues such as structure, plot, characterization, and point of view choices along with sentence level and micro-organizational issues. Between class meetings, writers will receive supplemental craft readings and additional exercises and should plan on 2 -4 hours of work outside class time each week. While writers will be encouraged to brainstorm about their pieces and discuss their experiences working with the revision exercises, there will be no formal feedback offered during class time. However, each participant will receive a one-page professional feedback letter and customized revision plan from the instructor on a piece of writing up to 6,000 words in length by the end of the course. This course is useful for writers who are working in any prose-based discipline who have an early draft of a project and are looking to begin revising. For experienced writers (intermediate or advanced) engaged in revision work. Limited to 10 writers.
WHEN: 8 Weeks: Wednesdays, May 11 - June 29 (6 - 8pm EST)
WHERE: Online, via Zoom video conference

COURSE GOALS
• Support writers in becoming their own best editors
• Reframe the revision process as inquiry based on/rooted in curiosity, not a hunt for mistakes
• Understand when to ask for feedback, how to use it and how to give it
• Understand the basic mechanics of craft in storytelling
• Build community
• Engage in fun prompts and exercises
WEEK ONE: MINDSET & USING FEEDBACK
What is revision? When do I ask for feedback and what do I do with it when I get it? Using thematic purpose as your revision north star. This week we'll discuss mindset, reading like a writer, and the ways in which to ask for and use feedback from peers. We'll also talk about the importance of getting clear on your thematic intentions for a piece.
WEEK TWO: PLOT
We'll review the basics of story arc, talk about generating tension to maintain the reader's interest.
WEEK THREE: POINT OF VIEW
This week we'll talk about the function of the narrator and discuss how to figure out whether the narrator you've chosen is the best storyteller for the job
WEEK FOUR: CHARACTERIZATION
We'll focus on how to portray characters or the real life people you're depicting in your stories in a way that makes them feel vivid and real.
WEEK FIVE: STRUCTURE / BEGINNINGS & ENDINGS
This week we'll think about how our stories navigate time, whether the events described are positioned in the right order, and also discuss things like epistolary devices, chapter/section length and other structural concerns. We'll unpack the best place to start and the best place to end.
WEEK SIX: SCENES & ACTIONS
What makes a scene? This week we'll figure that out and work through strategies to make the real-time "showing" parts of your story riveting and full of tension
WEEK SEVEN: TELLING, DETAILS, SUBTEXT, & SPECIFICITY
This week is all about the stuff in between the action, and the power of description. What do you say overtly and what do you leave out? How can you get the maximum power out of your detail choices?
WEEK EIGHT: SUPREME SENTENCES, VERBS, LINE EDITS, & KNOWING WHEN YOU'RE DONE
We'll talk about end stage revision work, and figuring out when it's finished.

This is a healthy smoothie its's delicious. I swear. You can just taste the cashews infused with banana flavour, the smoothie gets creamy with the banana and cahews its so delicous i equate it with the thickeness as a macdonald's milkshake. Though this is an all organic smoothie. . A refreshing breakfast drink. The ripe banana gives it the sweetness. If you add sugar or honey it won't be as healthy as it should be.

When he was in the 7th grade and taking Saturday courses on aerodynamics at Northwestern University, Jonny Cohen noticed school buses' inefficient design and was alarmed by the amount of exhaust they generated.
He suddenly got an idea on how to make them more efficient, in order to slow carbon emissions, increase gas mileage and help schools save money on fuel. He create a prototype for a transparent Plexiglas cover to retrofit school buses by redirecting the airflow and reducing drag. Together with his older sister and other friend, he started the GreenShields Project to further develop his idea.
His team entered the 2009 Youth Venture Summit at MIT at MIT, where it won a $1,ooo grant. Jonny used the prize to "built a homemade wind tunnel and did testing in my garage, and then won a $25,000 grant" from the Pepsi Refresh project to test a full-scale version of his idea on school buses.
After winning that prize, Jonny was invited on Good Morning America to discuss GreenShields. The Cook-Illinois Bus Corporation's wife happened to be watching the program and determined her husband to offer the young entrepreneur a school bus to work on.
Jonny also started working with Northwestern University's Segal Design Institute, where he and his team developing a radically different that his original model, which was heavy, big and difficult to install. The new prototype, which is placed on top of the roof of the school bus, weighs only 8 lbs, costs only $30, and installs in minutes, reducing material and installation costs.
Tests conducted with the school buses provided Cook-Illinois Corp. determined that the GreenShield improves fuel economy 10 to 20 percent, thus saving over $600 per bus per year of the over $6,500 that schools currently spend on diesel fuel for each bus.
Jonny is in the process of obtaining permits from the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Transportation, in order to be able to bring shields for the mass market. GreenShields already has its first customer lined up, as the owner of the Cook-Ilinois Bus Company, Mr. John Benish, has promised to buy GreenShields for his 4300 bus fleet as soon as they will be on the market.
Jonny believes that his mission will be over only when school buses "become super-efficient." In recognition of his creativity, Jonny has been selected on Forbes "30 Under 30" list twice and has spoken at the 2012 Continuity Forum on the topic of future social, environmental and economic innovation. Among other prizes, the young entrepreneur's project has also won the audience choice award from the Ashoka Youth Venture and Consumer Bankers Association Foundation's "Banking on Youth" program.


You can blame the economy, the tight job market, or the full moon for not getting interviews, but the truth is that you probably made one of the following errors.
Yes, some things are out of your control, but these are things you can control in your job hunt.
Lack of experience or no experience is probably one of the biggest reasons you aren't getting the job. I always recommend that you apply for jobs even when you don't have all the qualifications, but you'll need to make a strong case in the following areas to overcome that deficit.
Do you know someone at the company in which you're applying? Have you been doing your informational interviews, networking, and community building? If not, then you probably don't know anyone in the organization and the boss's niece (even if she has less experience than you) will get the job over you.
No matter where you live, your local professional niche is probably relatively small. If you made mistakes that position you as untrustworthy, unreliable, unprofessional, or a risk, then you're likely to lose out on a lot of jobs. Confirm your references are positive before putting them on your application.
Google yourself. What do you find? Negative comments on blogs and tasteless photos on Instagram are a sure fire way to take yourself out of the running.
Don't send the same cover letter to every employer. Craft a unique cover letter telling the employer how YOU can help THEM.
Don't make any errors on your resume. Proofread a hundred times and have at least three friends look it over.
Leaning back in your chair with your arm swung over the seat rest is a power pose – don't do it in an interview. An interviewer will pick up on cockiness immediately and you want the first impression you give to be one of warmth, openness, and mindfulness.
Of course, lack of confidence can also kill your chances. Don't apologize for your life decisions, and don't sweat it too much. It's just an interview! Think of it as a conversation with a new person and let your confidence shine.
People do this ALL THE TIME. I've seen Prichard Communications spelled Pritchard on more resumes than I can count. I immediately throw those resumes away.
If you don't seem enthusiastic about the job or passionate about the industry, it will show. Demonstrate your interest but be careful not to overwhelm the interviewer with too much enthusiasm, as this can also be a turn-off.
Consider the job you are applying for. Does it require client-facing work? If so, maybe cover the tattoo on your chest, take the face piercing out, and wash your hair.
I love odd people. I really do. But don't fly your freak flag in a job interview. This is not the time to make a statement. In time, you can slowly roll out your oddities, as it seems appropriate.
Did you forget to write a thank you note, connect on LinkedIn, or follow up with an email? You might as well forget it. Always follow up with a thank you.
In this new world of work, where competition is fierce, cross your t's and dot your i's to get that job. If you make one of these mistakes–forgive yourself, learn from it, and don't do it again.

Una discordancia de Hutton () es una discordancia que hace referencia a algunos de los sitios geológicos más famosos de Escocia que el geólogo del siglo XVIII James Hutton identificó y que proporcionaron evidencias para establecer las teorías plutonistas y uniformistas y acerca de la edad de la Tierra.

Teoría de la formación de las rocas

Hutton dio con una variedad de ideas para explicar las formaciones rocosas que veía a su alrededor, y después de unos 25 años de trabajo, su Theory of the Earth; or an Investigation of the Laws observable in the Composition, Dissolution, and Restoration of Land upon the Globe se leía en las reuniones de la Royal Society de Edimburgo en 1785. Más tarde, ese año, Hutton leyó un resumen de Sobre el Sistema de la Tierra, su duración y estabilidad en una reunión de la Sociedad, que había impreso y distribuido en privado.

En ella, expuso su teoría de que las «partes sólidas de la tierra actual parecen, en general, que están compuestas por los productos del mar, y de otros materiales similares a los que ahora se encuentran en las costas». De esto dedujo que la tierra era una composición que se había sido formada por la operación de causas secundarias, en un mundo anterior compuesto por mar y tierra, con mareas, corrientes y «operaciones similares en el fondo del mar a las que ahora tienen lugar» de modo que «mientras que el actual terreno se estaba formando en el fondo del océano, la antigua tierra albergaba plantas y animales; por lo menos el mar estaba habitado por aquel entonces por los animales, de una manera similar a como lo está en la actualidad», y que la mayor parte, si no toda, la tierra había sido producida por las operaciones naturales que implican la consolidación de las masas de materiales sueltos recogidos en el fondo del mar, seguido por la elevación de las masas consolidadas a su posición actual.

Discordancias

Algunas discordancias angulares ya habían sido señaladas por los antiguos geólogos que las interpretaron en términos del neptunismo como «formaciones primarias», por lo que Hutton quería examinar esas formaciones por sí mismo para buscar apoyo a su teoría del plutonismo. En un viaje a la isla de Arran, en 1787, se encontró con su primer ejemplo, la discordancia de Hutton en Newton Point, al norte de dicha punta, cerca de Lochranza, pero la visión limitada no ofreció toda la información que necesitaba. Se presentan en orientación vertical esquistos dalradian cámbricos cubiertos por Old Red Sandstone más reciente, del Carbonífero, con una diferencia obvia en la inclinación entre las dos capas de roca,  pero creyó de forma incorrecta que los estratos eran conformes a una profundidad inferior del afloramiento expuesto.

Más tarde, en 1787, señaló Hutton lo que ahora se conoce como la discordancia Hutton de Inchbonny, Jedburgh, en capas de roca sedimentaria. Más tarde escribió de cómo «me regocijó en mi buena fortuna por tropezar con un objeto tan interesante en la historia natural de la Tierra, y que yo había estado buscando durante mucho tiempo en vano». Ese año, se encontró con la misma secuencia en el río Teviot ('Tiviot' en el escrito de Hutton), cerca de Hawick.

En la primavera de 1788 partió con John Playfair a la costa de Berwickshire y encontró más ejemplos de esta secuencia en los valles de los burns Tower y Pear, cerca de Cockburnspath. A continuación, hizo un viaje en barco desde el este de Dunglass Burn a lo largo de la costa con el geólogo Sir James Hall de Dunglass. Encontraron la secuencia en el acantilado por debajo de la capilla de St. Helen, a continuación, justo al este en Siccar Point encontraron lo que Hutton llamó «una bella imagen de esta unión dejada al desnudo por el mar», y la que ha quedado como la discordancia de Hutton en Siccar Point. Playfair más tarde comentó sobre la experiencia, «la mente parecía marearse por mirar tan lejos en el abismo del tiempo». Continuando por la costa, hicieron más descubrimientos, incluyendo secciones de los lechos verticales que mostraban claras marcas de oleaje que dieron a Hutton «gran satisfacción» como una confirmación de su hipótesis de que estos lechos habían estado en posición horizontal en el agua. También encontraron conglomerado a altitudes que demostraba el grado de erosión de los estratos, y dijo de esto que «nunca hubimos soñado con encontrarnos con lo que vimos». Playfair escribió:

En el cabo Siccar, los estratos de grauvaca del Silúrico inferior que reposaban en un entorno de aguas profundas hace unos  se inclinaron verticalmente, y luego se superusieron a los estratos de areniscas del  Devónico superior que habían sido depositadas en una amplia llanura costera sujeta a inundaciones periódicas por el mar, hace unos .

It's the beginning of Mercedes (Merci) Suarez's sixth grade year, and right away she notices big changes. There's a new boy in class, just moved to South Florida from Minnesota, and Merci has been assigned to be his Welcome Buddy, but wealthy, popular classmate Edna Santos has set her sights on him. Merci's older brother Roli has his driver's license and will soon be leaving for college. Most ominous of all, though, are the changes in Merci's beloved grandfather, Lolo, who forgets more and more, and now has begun to act strangely—fighting with loved ones and wandering off into traffic. All the older people in Merci's extended family—all of whom live in three small adjacent houses they call Las Casitas—seem to know what's going on but won't tell her.
Roli has only had his license for a few weeks and already we've lost a mailbox and two recycling bins to his skills behind the wheel. Even our cat, Tuerto, has learned to hide when he hears the jingle of car keys. Continue reading.
Publisher's Synopsis: Thoughtful, strong-willed sixth-grader Merci Suarez navigates difficult changes with friends, family, and everyone in between in a resonant new novel from Meg Medina.

The new Duet digital wireless monitor system consists of the M2T dual-stereo half-rack transmitter and M2R diversity belt pack receiver. The Duet covers the UHF frequencies of 470-608 MHz (138 MHz) in a single range, uses digital modulation for transmission, and can accept analog or Dante™ digital inputs. The new system can be considered a "wireless IEM" or a deluxe IFB product, designed and developed with professional touring, installation, theater, filmmaking and broadcast customers in mind.
Both the M2T ½ rack transmitter, and the M2R beltpack receiver units have 2-way IR sync, so scan data from the receiver can be sent to the transmitter and thus onto the Ethernet network for use by Wireless Designer™ software for frequency planning and coordination purposes. Additionally, the system includes a Flex List mode, where a number of names and frequencies can be stored in the receiver. This way, a monitor engineer or production manager can quickly find and listen to any of the talents' mixes on the stage or in the studio.


I worked on the Charleston flightline with the best bunch of guys you could imagine. Every one of was, and still is, a treat. One particular day my boss assigned me to an inbound down on Able row. After the crew door opened and the gears were pinned. the LM came down the ladder mumbling something about a gas mask. I brushed it off as a rant from a tired crew member.
As I went up the ladder and looked to my right, I saw the biggest mess I'd ever seen in a aircraft. The tube was end-to-end trash, almost a foot deep. Empty MRE's, flight lunch boxes, ketchup, laundry, cigarette packages, GI blankets. You name it, it was in that pile of s**t. Just a freakin' disaster area.
My boss came by for the 781's and saw the pigsty. He scheduled the aircraft to go straight to the wash rack, for sanitizing, so to speak. Why the crew didn't open the back of the aircraft and dump it anywhere above FL300 was beyond me.
This was 1975 and the evac of Saigon had caught this aircraft off station at Clark. I never found out for sure but my guess was the aircraft might have brought their evacuees to the left coast somewhere. I now wonder why it wasn't quarantined after coming stateside.
After realizing that their Vietnamese money was now without value, the PAX left it on the floor with all the other trash. I collected a bunch of this 'loot' before I left shift and divided their booty up with the other guys on the line that day. This scans below are the front and back of the only bill I have remaining. The stuff is worth only memories now, but I thought it might be an interesting item for C141Heaven.

In the retirement industry, many employee benefit plans have highly technical aspects and difficult administration that can make using a specialized TPA more cost effective for plan sponsors.
Did you know that one way to work smarter is to partner with a TPA?
Working with a TPA means you have the extra client support you need. Here are four excellent reasons why you should work with a TPA.
A vital motivational factor for working with a TPA is their expertise at building quality customized plans designed to meet the specific needs of any plan sponsor. TPAs are able to provide outstanding plan design support to any plan sponsor by utilizing the creative tools at their disposal. By having access to the kind of services a TPA offers, existing clients will be very satisfied over time.
A TPA can provide potential clients with creative plan design options. They can also help to ensure the highest level of compliance on issues like loans and distributions. In addition, a TPA can assist a sponsor in navigating through legislative changes and operational challenges by advising the plan sponsor about what it needs to do from both a legal and operational perspective.
In the era of full disclosure, TPAs provide a clear and understandable fee structure. TPAs also may have the ability to offset plan sponsor fees by the compensation they receive from vendor service fee income programs.
A recent sponsor satisfaction survey conducted by the Gregory Group, showed that clients who use TPAs, gave very high client satisfaction scores to their TPA in the areas of plan design and responsiveness to client questions. TPAs help plan sponsors minimize the time they spend on plan matters. Where applicable, TPAs can also provide consultation on mergers and acquisitions.
Each year the U.S. government adjusts the limits for qualified plans and Social Security to reflect cost-of-living adjustments and changes in the law. Many of these limits are based on the "plan year" as defined in the plan document. The elective deferral and catch-up limits are always based on the calendar year.
Maximum annual elective deferrals under 401(k), 403(b) and governmental 457(b) plan participants for employees under age 50.
These limits also apply to Roth deferrals.
"Catch-up" contribution amount in 401(k), 403(b) and governmental 457(b) Plans for employees who turn age 50 by the last day of the calendar year.
Maximum annual elective deferrals for employees who turn age 50 by last day of calendar year.
Maximum annual addition through a defined contribution plan without an employee deferral provision, i.e., profit sharing plans.
Maximum annual addition through a profit sharing plan that has a 401(k) or 403(b) feature for employees age 50 or over.

COVID-19, the Public Support Test and your Nonprofit's Status
Author: Marie DeCicco, Denise McKnight and Sarah Avery
COVID-19 has had a vast and varied impact on our economy. Unfortunately, in many ways nonprofits are bearing the brunt of a post-COVID economy characterized by tightening of wallets and reduced cash flow. Among the many unexpected challenges it has introduced, a post-pandemic economy could contribute to an unanticipated change of status for your nonprofit.
What is the Public Support Test?
There are five categories of IRC Section 501(c)(3) organizations ("501(c)(3)") qualifying for Internal Revenue Service (IRS) benefits (namely, freedom from income tax and contributions that qualify for a charitable tax deduction). However, only public charities – the largest category of 501(c)(3) organizations – are subject to the public support test ("test").
The test is designed to ensure that organizations classified as public charities have a broad and diverse base of funding and are truly supported by the public they're designed to serve. This requirement positions public charities in contrast with private foundations, which generally have limited sources of funding.
To qualify as a public charity, nonprofits must meet one of two annually recurring tests conducted by the IRS:
At least one-third of the total support from individuals, corporations and dues is made up of publicly sourced donations; or
The services available to the general public, and the make-up of the board of directors, reflects that the nonprofit operates like a public charity with at least 10% of total support coming from individual, government or organizational sources (the facts and circumstances test).
The one-third support or the 10% support tests do not include aggregate donations from a single source of funding exceeding 2% of a nonprofit's total support. Contributions from related parties are required to be aggregated into a single funding source for this test and includes entities owned by the same donor, private foundations funded by the donor and family members of the donor. Good record keeping is essential for complying with public support test disclosures.
Why Should I be Concerned About a Change in my Nonprofit's Status?
For some organizations, it's essential to maintain classification as a public charity. For others, the designation is less of an imperative. The importance of maintaining a designation as a public charity comes down to each organization's unique goals versus the restrictions that the other four categories of 501(c)(3) impose.
Typically, an organization classified as a public charity that fails its public support test will be automatically reclassified as a private foundation. Private foundations can be operating or non-operating (depending on their mission and meeting statutory tests), are 501(c)(3) organizations like public charities and enjoy similar tax benefits. However, they do face some requirements or restrictions that public charities don't.
In contrast to public charities, non-operating private foundations:
Must distribute a portion of their income annually,
Need to remain independent from major contributors (certain business relationships with major contributors can be considered "self-dealing" and subject to excise taxes),
May be subject to penalties for risky investments or failing to distribute funds appropriately, among other regulatory requirements,
Generally are subject to excise tax on investment earnings.
Finally, donors to private foundations are subject to limitations on federal income tax deductibility. A year of an individual's contributions to a private foundation are deductible only up to 30% of their adjusted gross income for that year. Furthermore, contributions of appreciated property to private foundations are subject to their own deductibility limitations. It is important to consider these factors from the perspective of your donors. Will a change of status from a private charity to a private foundation make your donors less inclined to contribute?
How Might COVID Lead to a Change in Status?
Because COVID has limited cash flow throughout the economy, nonprofits may not be enjoying the diverse sources of funding that they have relied on in previous years. For example, if your nonprofit is meeting fundraising goals by increasing its reliance on fewer sources of funding issuing larger contributions, it may be in danger of failing an upcoming public support test.
Unfortunately, budget and staffing limitations within the nonprofit industry can make it difficult to recognize when your nonprofit's status is in danger. In some cases this is not clear until the year-end has passed and the annual audit is already underway. This provides little time to affect the outcome of the test. These internal reporting issues, pronounced even in strong economies, have only been exacerbated in the current climate.
What Remedies are Available to Prevent a Change in Status?
Once the danger is recognized, there are several means of curing situations and strengthening a nonprofit's chance of passing a public support test.
The simplest way may be to communicate your circumstances to major donors and amortize large donations over several years. When possible, let them know your situation and the maximum dollar value your nonprofit can receive without compromising your ability to qualify as a public charity. This requires a bit of preliminary legwork in predicting and modeling donations, but can save huge headaches down the road, while strengthening key relationships.
Note that the public support test is a rolling five-year test and careful planning should be employed to prevent single donor concentrations from "tipping" the organization into private foundation status. A review of the public support test should be performed annually as part of the 990 compliance preparation service.
Plan a fundraising strategy with the public support test in mind. It may sound obvious, but any public charities' fundraising strategy should prioritize donations from as broad a base of support as possible. That may mean basing fundraising goals around diversity of donation sources, rather than their total dollar value.
Finally, take a look at the nature of each of your large donations. In some cases a large non-recurring donation can be excluded from the public support test. Often this exception applies in cases where a charity is named among the beneficiaries of a will.
If a public charity status is essential for your nonprofit to accomplish its goals, you need real-time insight into your funding. By paying close attention to your ability to meet the IRS's public support test requirements, you will know when to take action and, using the actionable steps above, protect your status.

Een botellón (Spaans: grote fles) is een gezelschapsfenomeen dat in Spanje in het begin van de jaren 90 is ontstaan. Een botellón bestaat uit een verzameling vrienden, vooral jongeren, die in een park of op een andere plaats in de buitenlucht samenkomen om alcoholische dranken te drinken. Dit kan zijn voor een verjaardag of een andere gelegenheid. Vaak wordt een botellón gehouden alvorens men uitgaat.

De bijeenkomsten vinden meestal plaats in de late lente en zomer, wanneer de temperatuur ook 's avonds boven de 20 graden Celsius blijft. De naam van het fenomeen is afgeleid van de wijze waarop de alcoholische dranken worden meegebracht: voorgemengd in 1 liter- of 1,5 literflessen. De drank wordt meestal in supermarkten gekocht, het is een goedkope manier om een uitgaansavond te beginnen. In veel gevallen gaat men na de botellón naar een nachtclub of discotheek.

Problemen
Deze samenkomsten leiden vaak tot drinkgelagen, waarbij jonge mensen zwaar gealcoholiseerd raken en medisch verzorgd moeten worden. Ook het afval dat wordt achtergelaten wordt vaak als een probleem ervaren. Andere bezwaren tegen botellones zijn de soms voorkomende vechtpartijen, vandalisme, verkeerschaos en omzetverlies voor winkels in de straat waar een botellón wordt gehouden. Alcohol is voor jongeren onder de 18 jaar in Spanje verboden, ze gebruiken dus tijdens een botellón illegaal alcohol en lopen het risico op een boete. Botellones zouden ook leiden tot alcoholisme.

Macrobotellones
Sinds het einde van de 20e eeuw worden ook macrobotellones gehouden, waarbij zich duizenden deelnemers verzamelen. Ze worden georganiseerd met behulp van sociale netwerksites zoals Facebook. De eerste macrobotellón werd in Sevilla georganiseerd om het einde van de schoolexamens te vieren, en had een opkomst van 5000 personen. Door de aandacht die de media eraan gaven waaide het fenomeen over naar andere Spaanse steden. Als officieus wereldrecord deelnemers aan een botellón wordt beschouwd de macrobotellón in Sevilla in maart 2004 toen 70.000 personen samenkwamen.

Maatregelen
De Spaanse overheid tracht zowel op gemeentelijk als nationaal niveau de overlast van botellones te beperken. Een van deze maatregelen is een nationaal verbod op verkoop van alcoholische drank na 22.00 uur in supermarkten en slijterijen. Dit verbod bleek echter een wassen neus omdat de deelnemers enerzijds de drank gewoon van tevoren gingen kopen en anderzijds controle voornamelijk in de buurt van botellónlocaties als parken plaatsvond en verder gelegen winkels het verbod negeerden. Soms komt de politie ook naar een botellón om de deelnemers naar een andere locatie te verwijderen. De deelnemers werken in dergelijke gevallen vaak mee, hoewel minderjarigen het risico lopen naar huis te worden gebracht met een boete. Andere steden sluiten 's nachts hun parken zodat hier geen botellones kunnen plaatsvinden, of ze wijzen speciale locaties aan.

Verbod
Sinds 2002 geldt in Spanje een wet die het consumeren van alcoholische drank op openbare plaatsen zoals op straat of in parken verbiedt op straffe van een boete. Dit heeft het fenomeen niet kunnen terugdringen. Het is vaak lastig onderscheid te maken tussen wel- en niet-alcoholische dranken. Bevat een fles water of wodka? En is vruchtensap gemixt met sterkedrank of niet? Een hardere houding van de Spaanse overheid ten opzichte van botellones leidde ertoe drinkers in sommige gevallen de confrontatie met de politie aangingen.

België
In juni 2009 is de eerste Vlaamse botellón in Gent georganiseerd. Hoewel burgemeester Termont aangaf dat het feest "heel gezellig" was, heeft de gemeente de organisator een rekening van 1310 euro gepresenteerd bestaande uit schoonmaakkosten en een boete, omdat de organisator niet van tevoren een vergunning voor het geven van een straatfeest had aangevraagd, en de gemeente nu ineens extra kosten moest maken. De organisator, die zelf geschrokken was van het succes, heeft zich meegaand opgesteld.

SunClad is the name we give our heavy-gauge extruded aluminum exterior on our clad-wood products. It provides exceptional strength and long life for the product and it is the perfect surface for our High Durability Powder Coat Finish. Additionally, our new construction SunClad products have an integral nailing fin that provides a strong, rigid fastening surface for their installation and a hard flashing point.
All SunClad products are designed with a Fail-Safe Water Management System with two levels of protection. The first level of protection is the perimeter glazing seal between the sash and glass. However, because years of exposure to the elements can cause this seal to develop small gaps, we also build in a back up venting system that provides an effective path for water and moist air to exit the glazing channel and sash structure. This protects the insulated glass against seal failure and the interior wood components from deterioration.
Sun uses high durability powder coating as the exterior finish of our SunClad products. Our standard finish meets AAMA 2604 requirements. An even higher performance AAMA 2605 finish is also available. Sun offers a wide range of Standard Colors, Upgrade Feature Colors, and Premium Metallic Finishes to assist in your design choices. Additionally, virtually any color is available through Custom Color Matching. Sun's Powder Coating is also environmentally friendly, with no VOCs and no lead or chromium in any of the processes.

Review by DemandOpener
Very punchy recording; a must listen if you're a big fan of Fish. Drums are very high in the mix early on, while Page's keys and the vocals are pretty low, but they seem to get all that ironed out by the middle of Possum.
At any rate, the show is very well played, probably one of the best ones from the 1st 1990 Colorado jaunt. That's not a particularly difficult feat, but for historical purposes, it's definitely the "must-hear" show of the run.
Anyway, the first set is pretty average for the time period, although it does include a rare trombone+vacuum I Didn't Know, the early version of Cavern (I hope they change the lyrics soon!), and a sharp Weekapaug. Nothing special, but again, a better sounding tape than literally anything else from this particular tour.
The second set goes about as swimmingly as is possible for this time period, with a great YEM and some amusing stage banter regarding Mike's bass-string-changing skills. Also, it's SO NICE TO HEAR GREAT SBD QUALITY Bouncing, BBFCFM, Esther, etc., after so many poor quality recordings of those songs. It makes this average-good show more refreshing after slogging through dozens of 1990 tapes. I'm going to go with 3.5 stars here. While the show lacks a true standout jam or moment, you might as well listen if you're looking for something representative of their first 1990 trip to Colorado.

Submitted to the legacy Phish.net site 12/28/99...
A friend had told me to come with them to see this band Phish who were playing for free down at Colorado College. Never heard of them and didn't know what to expect. I was living in Denver at the time and it seemed like a great way to spend a Sunday. They has set a stage up between some dorms and the backdrop was Pike's Peak. It happened to be sunny that day and they came on late in the afternoon for the first set. I think there may have been a hundred people there. I didn't really get them at first although I enjoyed them. It was during the solo on Possum that they started to click for me and then the rest of the show went by way to fast. They came out for the second set as the sun was setting behind Pike's Peak. The front range in Colorado Springs is a beautiful sight although the town is pretty odd for me these days. Some clouds were hugging the top of the peak and the colors from the sunset were beautiful. The stage lights(what little one's there were) popped on in synch with the early part of YEM where Trey hit's those high notes. I loved the various styles of music they played throughout the show that really got me. Unfortunately they got some noise complaints and the show had to end. I came home that night a huge fan and am real happy for their success today although I rarely see them anymore. Keep rockin'.

Just adding that there are some subtle Ooh Child teases in Harry Hood. Listen close.

Review by TheEmu
I found this to be quite a bit more well played than the 4/6 show, although still with some rough patches. Not too much to get excited about, though. The YEM is kind of nice, and BBFCFM almost always puts a smile on my face. EAT, KILL, EAT, KILL, EAT, KILL!!! Why kill? I think Trey is teasing something in the BBFCFM, but I'm not sure what (kinda sounds like Men of Harlech at one point, but I don't think that's it). So, there ya go, FWIW. Three stars.
Oh, and Don wants me to remind you to pick up your trash.

this was my first phish tape. given to me at the age of 13. i lost the tape a while ago. favorite weekapoug of all time. if anyone has this show, let me know. i would love to hear it again


Could Golden State's Starting 5 Actually Beat the East's All-Star Lineup?
Once upon a time, not long ago, Kawhi Leonard would often drive a rehabbed 1997 Chevrolet Tahoe because it was paid off, and he'd use coupons to get free wings at Wingstop. The NBA All-Star forward has always been fascinating to so many, but no amount of money was going to alter his lifestyle. Oh, how the times have changed.
So much is different these days. Leonard still rocks cornrows and is one of the NBA's best players, but everything else is new. He plays for the Toronto Raptors instead of the San Antonio Spurs, rocks New Balance sneakers instead of Air Jordan, and apparently hasn't been as frugal with his money as he has been in the past.
While the weather in Canada is getting colder, the two-time All-NBA First Team and NBA Defensive Player of the Year selections is thinking much warmer thoughts. He just paid $13.3 million for a beautiful mansion in Rancho Santa Fe in San Diego County, California.
Sick is an understatement. It could be impossible to find anyone who wouldn't want to live in this Southern California house.
The Tuscan-style estate is 13,000 square feet on the inside, filled with seven bedroom suits and 10.5 bathrooms. The master suite even has two dressing rooms and a spa-like bath, according to the Los Angeles Times.
If that's not enough, there is also a dry bar, home theater, a gourmet kitchen, two offices and a controlled wine vault.
On the outside of the five-acre plot, there's a multi-second pool with a raised spa, a fire pit, water fall, Baja decks, fruit orchards, and a tennis court.
Just take a look at this place, via redfin.com and LA Times.
So why did the 27-year-old Leonard purchase this home? That's the question everyone is trying to figure out.
Could it be because of him becoming an unrestricted free agent this summer and is eying a move to play for the Clippers or Lakers next season? Or is it because he was born in Los Angeles and went to high school in Moreno Valley and Riverside, California before playing his college ball at San Diego State?
All signs point to the second option here. Perhaps the 6-foot-7 forward, who was recently named an Eastern Conference All-Star starter, has found the perfect vacation spot in the offseason with this California mansion.
The former NBA Finals MVP and No. 15 overall pick in the 2011 NBA Draft is having a sensational year since being traded from San Antonio to Toronto for fellow All-Star DeMar DeRozan this summer. It just got even better his new home.
