Coachella 2017: 10 Things That Happened Over The First Weekend
From technical difficulties to Lady GaGa's kick ass performance, here are ten things that happened during the first weekend of Coachella.
A lot went down in the desert over the weekend. In true Coachella fashion, there was plenty of celebrities, lots of music, and even more photo ops. This year went a little differently, though. In addition to the festival's 20-acre expansion, the then-expecting Beyonce had to skip out on the event per doctor's orders. Also, Coachella had a change of sound as well, and it seems as though Hip-Hop took over this year. From technical difficulties to Lady GaGa's kick ass performance, here are ten things that happened during the first weekend of Coachella.
1. Politics wasn't an issue
It was safe to assume that Trump's name would come up a time or two during the festivities. But it didn't, which was rather surprising considering anti-Trump sentiment has become a standard.
Not even Lady GaGa felt the need to speak on politics. However, Ezra Furman did call out Philip Anschutz for his alleged ties to anti-LGBT groups.
2. Lady GaGa stole the show
In place of Beyonce, Lady GaGa headlined Coachella this year. And she certainly kicked ass. Her high-energy set, as well as her massive audience, had everyone talking.
3. Immigration issues forced PNL to cancel their set
It turns out that immigration issues are also affecting Coachella. After learning that Tarik AKA Ademo was denied a visa, Parisian rap group PNL had no choice but to cancel their set.
4. Hip-hop was one of the most talked about genres
Typically, EDM and indie rock are the two top genres at Coachella. However, it seems as though hip-hop took over this year. From Kendrick Lamar's awesome headline to Future and Drake's epic performance, hip-hop had everyone talking.
5. There were a few technical difficulties
First, Radiohead's performance was interrupted not once, but three times due to technical issues. Then, The Avalanches' frontman Spank Rock had problems with his mic, and could not be heard for a significant portion of the set.
6. The list of performing acts was longer than usual
While Coachella has always provided a variety of music, some think that this year there was a little too much variety. From indie to rock, there was certainly something for everyone, though.
7. Pre-headliners were a little disappointing
The whole point of pre-headliners is to get the crowd hype and prepare them for what's to come. But this year, they failed to do just that.
8. The Yuma tent is now four times larger
Since appearing in 2014, the Yuma Tent has been a festival favorite. Though people love it for its darkness and small size, the tent is now four times larger in size. Still, it remains to be one of the festival's best-kept secrets.
9. Coachella has expanded 20 acres
Since adding on 20 acres, Coachella's capacity went from 99,000 to 125,000. As a result, there were lots of new additions at the grounds, including a new punk rock tent.
10. Guests were everywhere
Surprise guests are nothing new for Coachella. But this year, there were a ton of guest stars. For example, Future brought not only Drake on stage but also Migos and Ty Dolla Sign.

BENEFITING: Hollywood HEART
Please help Hollywood HEART raise $25,000 for our 2016 Arts Workshops
As most of you know, vital arts programs in our public schools have been drastically affected by budget cuts. In fact, a recent study reported that only 6 out of 85 LA Unified High Schools received an "A" rating for arts education and many of our schools have no arts programs at all. This holiday season Hollywood HEART has taken on this problem and is committed to helping bring arts programming back to our schools.
Hollywood HEART has run arts based programming for over a decade, including our innovative Camp Hollywood HEART for youth affected by AIDS, arts workshops at Los Angeles High School, and programs at youth facilities throughout Los Angeles. Take a glance through our Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or YouTube pages and you'll see the impact of our programs.
If we reach our $25,000 goal, Hollywood HEART will be able to bring arts programming to hundreds of young people in Los Angeles and give them new life-changing opportunities by discovering, practicing, and pursuing their creative talents.
Your contributions are tax-deductible and give at-risk youth the opportunity discover, practice, perform, and pursue their creative talents as they move from school to success.
Thank you for considering a donation to our Crowdrise Campaign. Should you prefer to donate by mail, please use our business address:

I am so excited to share this beautiful, new cover with everyone today!

Giving back…
As many of you know, cancer is a main theme in my debut novel, When You're Ready. It's a disease that has affected us all in one way or another. We've all lost someone, known someone who has been diagnosed, or maybe you've fought the battle yourself.
In the last year, I've had my own cancer scare when my doctor found what they thought was a mass in my breast during a CT scan and last month, we lost my husband's grandmother to liver cancer.
My emotional journey through my own cancer scare gave me the inspiration to write some amazing scenes in WYR, but I wanted to do more. Writing about something isn't enough, and after losing someone again to a disease that seems to have no cure, I decided I could do more than just type.
During the entire month of September, I will donate 20% of my net profits from the sales of When You're Ready to The American Cancer Society.
This is my way of putting my money where my mouth is. It's not enough to just write about it. I want to show my support and help those who are just being diagnosed, those fighting their way through and the families who support them.
Please help me by sharing this post, telling your friends, family members and neighbors. Let's make a difference.
The Most MASSIVE 3,000 LIKES Giveaway EVER!!!

Never Been Ready – Teaser #1 is HERE!!!
I was sitting at home last night writing, as usual. I'm boring. You can pretty much find me on any given night either writing or reading. I lead a very exciting life.
Anyho, I was spending some quality time with Leah and Declan, and I just couldn't stand it anymore. I had to share something with my readers. The journey I am taking with these two characters is amazing. It's completely different than Clare and Logan, but yet just as satisfying.
So, without further ado, here is the FIRST teaser from the second novel in the Ready series, NEVER BEEN READY!!
As always, this is from my unedited manuscript (my editors probably hate me – I love you Ami!) and is subject to change. Oh, and adult supervision required – foul language ahead!
Never Been Ready – Teaser #1
"So when exactly do I get my strip tease?" I asked.
"Well that's up to you hot shot."
"Hot shot?"
"Yep. Cocky attitude, arrogant disposition and sexy as fuck. It's a good nickname."
"Alright, so what are your terms Leah?" I fought back the urge to touch her. Stuffing my hands in my pockets, I paced the room in a vain attempt at keeping myself from just saying "fuck it" and pinning her against the wall before she could lay down any terms or requirements. Because whatever she was about to say, I was going to agree. She didn't know it, but she had my balls in her hands and I was at her fucking mercy. I both hated and wanted her at the same time. She made me feel weak with need and out of control. But I couldn't stop the pursuit. I couldn't walk away.
"I will not be an easy fuck whenever you get too lazy to find a new bimbo for the evening. I will not allow you in my bed wondering where you've been and what kind of sloppy seconds I'm getting," she declared, before saying the one thing I never wanted to hear.
"I want to be exclusive with you. For however long we decide to do this. I don't care about labels, or dates. You don't have to take me out to dinner, bring me flowers or buy me anniversary presents. The only thing I ask is that for the time we are together, you are mine."
"Yes," I answered immediately, surprising us both.
"Yes? That's it? No counter offer? No freak out or temper tantrum Declan?"
"No Leah, no temper tantrum. Just one request," I answered.
"And what's that Hot Shot?"
"Make it two," I amended. "First, the same rules apply to you. While we're together, for however long, you're mine Leah," I purred against her ear. Her eyes widened and her breath picked up pace giving me a quick sense of satisfaction that I'd broken through her calm and collected exterior.
"And second?" she asked timidly.
"Don't fucking call me Hot Shot."
She visibly relaxed and snorted out a laugh before saying, "So not happening, Hot Shot."

Signed Paperbacks and other such News!
Yes, it's true, signed paperbacks are finally available. Let's all take a moment and give my husband some virtual applause for setting up the fabulous ordering website, *thunderous applause* I truly am lucky I married such a smarty pants.
There is a tab (look up) that you can click on and it will give you all of the info on purchasing a signed copy of WHEN YOU'RE READY. Awesome, right?!
Ok, next order of business. NEVER BEEN READY has a release date! I have set the publication date for February 1st, 2014. Ok, stop crying and trying to throw things at me through the computer! I know it's a long ways away, and I know waiting sucks. But there are good reasons for the delay. The first being that I haven't completed the manuscript! That's kind of a biggie. The second is I've hired a KICK-ASS cover designer (anyone heard of Okay Creations? Seriously, go look it up!) and I've also hired an amazing editor. Both required a bit of a delay, but will be well worth it!
Lastly, I've been busy scheduling appearance dates all over the place! I've added an "appearance" tab on the website so please check it out to see if I will be anywhere near you in the next year. I will hopefully be adding places and dates, so check back often!
That is all for now kiddos,

It was a priviledge for me to be able to take part in the SM Youth Meet-up at SM City Davao - Ecoland Department Store. Im humbled by the invitation of Ms. Alexandra Dela Pena, the Marketing Head for SM-Ecoland. It's not my first time to actually meet the SM Youth Ambssadors; i met them already before when i was in Manila. What maked this experience a lot more special is that i have the chance to interact and make friends with them.
Before I went to the meet-and-greet, i visited first the SM Youth bus parked just outside the SM City Davao - Annex. This is one iconic bus for it showcased the newest trends and designs of SM Youth Apparels that the Ambassadors wore in their caravans and events; and since it's the first time for the bus to be seen in Davao, people are really excited to visit and take a look of the inside.
It's time to meet and greet them! Finally i got the chance to interact and mingle with the SM Youth Ambassadors, LA Aguinaldo, Janna Tee and Tommy Esguerra. It took place at the SM City Davao Department Store - Men's Wear Section.

text: The weather is starting to get warmer and it is going to get harder to motivate yourself to exercise in the heat, so we have compiled a list of fun activities you can do to keep you exercising on hot days but also to cool you off. Firstly the obvious choice is to go for a swim, the local pool or beach is a great place for some exercise, whether you swim, walk or run, the buoyancy of the water means that there is low impact on your joints and you can keep cool while burning lots of kilojoules. Next give surfing a try, if you head towards a surf beach there are lots of surf board hire places and for 1-2 hours it's relatively inexpensive. But be sure to get advice from locals about the surf conditions and the best spots for beginners. Or for less than $100 at most places you can get a lesson and board hire to get started. If that's not your style you could explore the scenery of the ocean with a guided snorkelling tour. Most places will take you on a guided tour will all equipment included for around $60. So this summer try and mix it up and try something new you may even discover a new hobby!

Needless to say the chickens were quite happy. I have moved lumber piles before and had the chickens enjoy the feast, but I never put it together until recently. I really did not know what the bugs were eating. So I went out one night with a flashlight to see hundreds of crickets feeding on the chicken poop. I had no idea they ate that stuff. Barrrfff :--)~
So I laid down strips of plywood with limited success. Then I realized it must have been helped along because it had recently rained when I did it the first time. So I sprinkled the area with water every couple of days as I changed the chickens water, and within a week there were more. Now that I have been doing this for a few months I can turn the boards every three or four days and reveal hundreds of cockroaches and crickets (Sometimes I wait a week to let them really build up).
The chickens continue to poop on top of the plywood all day so when I turn it over the critters have a fresh supply of food again and they multiply like nothing I have ever seen.
Maybe it's the heat of the desert? Maybe it's something in our chickens food that the bugs like after it's gone through the bird? I don't really know. All I know is that the eggs seem to taste better and the shells feel thicker and brighter. The birds also look much better. One particular rooster that is a real bug hog is so shiny and perfect he almost doesn't look real. I mean he looks like a poster or something. It really is amazing to see first hand how diet improves health.
I thought that because they had free run and some access to the garden and lots of scraps that they were as healthy as can be. I can see now that there was room for improvement. The desert just does not normally produce enough bugs that they eat I guess.
I am not sure if there is a downside, I have not discovered it yet. Another upside is that it seems to concentrate the bugs to the coop. I find far less…I mean seriously - I would guess a 75 to 80 percent reduction in what I find in the house. I cannot think of the last time I found or saw a cockroach in the house. I think the chicken poop attracts them all to the coop! Whaddyall think?

I have noticed that bugs gathering in animal areas pulls them from their usual haunts.
I think I will give this a try even though I haven't seen a cockroach in years I know my neighbors have 'em (I raise chickens in the city).
This post reminds me of one I've been wanting to make.... off to start a new thread!
A bed edge made of modern-style bricks with recesses pressed into it was covered with ants carrying larvae when I turned it over. I don't know how often the chickens could eat this before the colony moved, though...
"the qualities of these bacteria, like the heat of the sun, electricity, or the qualities of metals, are part of the storehouse of knowledge of all men. They are manifestations of the laws of nature, free to all men and reserved exclusively to none." SCOTUS, Funk Bros. Seed Co. v. Kale Inoculant Co.
When it was in the 100's 2 months ago, there were crickets, roaches, worms, cutworms, etc. under the same boards, etc. This idea is one of the easiest ideas I've read about on here. Kudos!

Anyways, a picture of chickens going after those uncovered bugs would be much more dramatic!

Okay my hands are up…you got me! Wow - your BS meter must be smo-o-okin.
I was just sitting around the other day….bored. And I thought, I wonder what I could do today that would be fun? Maybe I could let my kids tear up the house while I take the time to sit down and totally make something up and post it on the internet.
But what to post?
Suddenly chicken poop came to mind!
…..nah not very exciting I thought….and then….(I am looking around to make sure nobody is looking - as if they could read my mind?) from out of nowhere the thought arose….what if there were bugs EATING IT?
*shudder* no way - that is just too gross. I cannot believe that thought even came into my.... cripes - I need help!
But the little red devil was already firmly perched on my shoulder and would not SHUT UP!!
....bugs eating it....makes them breed like rabbits....and then you rip the roof off their home and let the chickens devour them! A little dark, but hey I could soften it up by saying how good it makes them TASTE….no wait…that's not right….well maybe yes I could add that part ….but…just the eggs...and ....how good it makes them LOOK…yes that's it….it improves their health…that will sell it and make it more legit. OK!
And so I gave into that disgusting idea and well you know the rest…boards came to mind…plywood of all things? Hmm I dunno and spraying them down with water?? Sick I know.
I promise it won't happen again. *wink* *wink*
I hope nobody actually went out and laid boards down in the dirt and misted them with water …..hoping that their chickens would go and poop on them so they could turn them over every few days to feed bugs that live underneath. ROFLMBO (Rolling on floor laughing my butt off) You silly, silly farmers - ah so gullible - but I still love ya anyways! You are all truly precious.
Marty...I have a pretty good sense of silly humor...but...from now on I think I'll take your posts with grain of salt! Guess you got your April Fool's prank in a little early...like 6.5 months early!
As Ralph Kramden (aka Jackie Gleason) on the Honeymooners would (sarcastically) say:
"Hah, hah, haar, dee haar, haar."
A couple of more things I remembered while out there today. The boards need to stay in the shade…at least for me here in the desert. And they multiply the most where the board is the most flat….so warped corners don't seem to make them little critters feel safe? In fact I stacked a few sheets of plywood strips and there were crickets between them - lots of crickets.
Frankly now that I think about it, there are always more cockroaches than there are crickets down in the dirt. I placed some plywood down where the chickens roost for the night….more poo there than anywhere….and almost no critters…why? Because I never get that area wet. Dampness is a key ingredient to this little cockroach concoction.
I think I will keep a stack of 3 or 4 going against the fence just for the crickets and see how that turns out. I guess the cockroaches like the dirt? And the dampness. Crickets like the poo and then a dryer place to….do whatever it is that they do.
Maybe I will test out some plywood stack designs and see which ones keep crickets and cockroaches multiplying the most. Then I will sell those plans for a buck or two and ….I'm rich, I'm RICH! …..naw I won't keep a dime, I will donate the critter fortune to a worthy cause LOL
Okay I will play along with Paul - here are a few pictures….I was surprised how many there were today because I just turned them yesterday. My guess is that half or more escape and come back when the boards are turned and the chickens leave. It would be wise to find a way to keep them more trapped in the coop because they do escape very quickly. And chickens aren't…well you know how chickens are.
The looking for land stuff should probably go in the rockies forum.
As for the chickens and bugs .... in the pics, I can see the chickens and the boards, but .... where are the bugs? Do we need bigger pics or something?
As for the chickens and bugs .... in the pics, I can see the chickens and the boards, but .... where are the bugs? Do we need bigger pics or something?
I can do a larger pic....but the fact is I am using my phone because our other camera just stopped working properly. There is about a five second delay after you push the button on this thing and the bugs scatter super quick - in that amount of time they are on the other side of the board or on their way out of the coop.
It is in the shade and yet light enough the flash doesn't come on and the chickens jump right in on top of them. I also just exposed them twice now in two days so their numbers are getting low....so....you may just have to take my word for it, or try it out yourself if you think there is any value in it. If you have scrap wood that is at least a foot or so wide it should work to some degree.
If I feel inspired I will go out in a few days and try to have button pushed before I lift the board and see if I can get the flash to work so you can see the huge pile of bugs under the boards. It's really cool.

Ok well I am willing to try but may have to modify a bit. Turn board over for a bit and put back in same place...think it will work?
I think it depends on where you are at, what kind of little critters are common around your place and ...ummm....if they like to eat chicken poo.
If I were starting today I would scoop or rake some fresh poo to about half the size of the boards I am about to lay down....not too much, give them some room to live or breed or whatever they do under there besides eat. Oh and I would sprinkle the ground first so that it was damp, not soaking wet, just damp.
Let me see if I can explain that a little better.....if I had plywood or boards that were say two feet wide and four feet long (Mine are about one foot wide and the bugs are always right in the center. If I had wider pieces I would use them)....I would rake about one foot by two feet of chicken poo under where I am going to lay the board. So about half the board is food and the other half is free for them to multiply - preferably in the middle. I think that is where they feel safe.
I would give it a light sprinkle, drop the board down and wait for a couple of weeks. I would avoid walking on the boards or moving them in any way during this initial time.
I would lift the board, let the chickens feed and then turn it over, putting it down exactly where it was before so that they come back and continue doing whatever it is that they do. My boards are in a little walkway area so they get pooped on a lot, if this was not the case I would rake some fresh stuff in around the edges and lay the boards down in the same spot.
I guess I just turned mine because it was quick and simple - It might make more sense to not turn the boards and just lift them up and rake some fresh poo under and set back down. I will do that next time.
I am also going to rake some poo in a corner after I stack several boards there in the hopes that it will attract more crickets. I will let you'all know.
I cannot think of anything else right now so I hope that helps. The live bug feed really made a rather surprising improvement in my birds and their eggs. It's well worth the effort and I am going to be looking for other ideas to raise living food.

I don't see how to insert a photo, but will figure it out. I attached a photo as a file.
The mattress bags are free for the taking and tough enough to last over a year in the sun and weather. Initially they were to cover and insulate the root crops which I harvest in mid winter for the sweetest carrots and roots, but discovered how well they maintain little patches of green grass all winter. Whenever I move them I use the big scoop snow shovel to quickly clear a new spot right next to the current spot. The chickens jump right on the green patch and spend most of the day there if the ground is snow covered, like they're fenced in. It is also nice to have a large, year round source of dry carbon bagged up to use in the compost, and I use the leaves as bedding in the coop, too.
I have lots of friends with chickens confined to coops and runs instead of on grass and there is a noticeable difference in egg flavor, as evidenced by the trade offers that come in! I have been getting an egg a day per chicken since Feb 1, and their other food is compost and scraps of course, with a mainstay of local grown grains and legumes cracked with camelina meal and kelp especially for chickens for the same price as the imported feed.
I also installed this automatic chicken door in January so they would be safe at night once they put themselves to bed:
http://www.chickendoors.com/products.htm It works great and I opted for the solar panel and light sensor so the girls can be outside as soon as they wake up and stay out until dark. It's great to be away from the house at sunset and know that they are safe. I have no relation to the door company and it may seem expensive but it's worth it to me.

Now that you've discovered the mechanism, take it a bit further, and have an area specifically for the bugs to live and reproduce. Harvest periodically for your birds, but leave enough to keep the colony going. Maybe some sort of cricket+cockroach hotel that gets regular additions of chicken manure. Sounds like it could be tweaked to produce a lot of bugs, not just a treat.

But, if you are worried about it, feed the bugs to fish, then feed the fish to the chickens.
Personally, I prefer my chickens to be strong enough to handle a bit of manure every now and then.

I'm sure this could be modified so that It could catch more types of insects and more of them. I think something like a funnel with a light inside and a jar to catch the falling bugs.

We get a lot of crickets in the summer. No cockroaches though. Too dry for them here I think.
I too was initially a little concerned that the chicken poop may be in too rapid a cycle to be consumed by the chickens, but the point that was made about how much poop already gets into their system fresh through their messy eating habits makes a lot of sense.
Here's another possible trick to attract nutritious bugs for your chickens, also discovered completely by accident.
I'd been making various "humus ditches" inspired by sepp holzer, and was throwing different types of organic wastes into them to see how they decomposed.
In one ditch, actually more of an oblong pit, I threw some old dry cat food, some dry beans, poured some water in, covered it in dry loose straw, and laid a plastic fluorescent light cover over the top and forgot about it.
At some point later in the year I remembered it and when I had a look I nearly leapt out of my skin when I saw quite a few dozen large size meal worms writhing virulently in the hot moist pit!
Now, I can't say how long it took for them to get in their and produce so many... but when I get chickens of my own you can be sure I'll be experimenting to figure out what I accidentally did so right.

Breakout session B:
K-12 Partnerships
Breakout session B
GK-12 Partnerships
Saturday, November 8, 2003
11:15am - 12:30 pm
Samuel C. Silverstein, Professor and Chair, Physiology and Cellular Biophysics- Columbia University
This breakout session will explore science work experience programs for teachers (SWEPTs). SWEPTs are formal programs created and run by colleges, universities, and professional schools, that provide opportunities for K-12 science teachers to do hands-on science under the mentorship of practicing scientists. The goal of these programs is to increase student awareness, interest and achievement in science by helping teachers to understand the processes of science by doing science. There are virtually no football coaches who have never played football. In contrast, it is rare to find an elementary or secondary school science teacher who has hands-on experience with the practice of science. "A concept of science drawn entirely from textbooks is no more likely to fit the enterprise that produced them than an image of a national culture drawn from a tourist brochure." Thomas Kuhn, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions.
1. Colleges, universities and professional schools are financially strapped. There are many demands on faculty time. Why should these institutions and their faculty invest in K-12 education? Deficiencies in U.S. K-12 science education have been evident for twenty years1. Students who are "turned off" to science in elementary or high school, do not pursue science in college. The opportunities for improving human welfare through medicine, chemistry, physics, and information sciences have never been more promising. Yet the number of U.S. citizens pursuing Ph.D.-level training in biomedical and behavioral sciences has been constant for the last five years, and the number pursuing Ph.D. degrees in chemistry, physics, and information sciences has declined every year since 1998. Just as a scientifically competent workforce is required to maintain our economy, a scientifically literate populace is required to maintain our democracy. These concerns, and the belief that you cannot teach something you have not yourself done, led me in 1990 to found Columbia's Summer Research Program for Secondary School Science Teachers.
2. Why focus on teachers? If you want to interest and improve student performance in science, why not create programs for students? Aside from their parents, teachers are the adults who have the most sustained daily contact with, and the greatest potential to influence the beliefs and interests of, children and young adults. Each teacher interacts with 35-125 students/year. Over the course of 20 years one creative and charismatic teacher can influence as many as 2,500 students. Simply put, there is a multiplier effect in working with teachers that cannot be achieved by working with individual students. Important as it may be to provide science work opportunities for the most talented and interested students, it is even more important to provide such opportunities for teachers.
3. Teachers already have had four years of college. Many have a Masters Degree in addition. What can they learn in two months that they haven't already learned in college and graduate school? "Prior to my research experience at Columbia I taught my students about chemistry, now I teach chemistry." "Now I can visualize what I teach. All of the words came to life for me this summer." This is how Alexandra Bodha, who teaches chemistry at Wm. Maxwell Vocational High School, and Barbara Lillien, who teaches biology at South Shore High School, both in New York City, described the impacts of their experiences in Columbia's Summer Research Program.
For many teachers, and most students, the materials and methods of science appear unrelated to their daily experiences. Few teachers, and even fewer students, interact with or know a scientist. Except for the rare student who knows he/she wants a career in science, most students who enter science are encouraged to do so by an inspiring teacher, a teacher who makes the process of discovery alive and exciting. Students whose intermediate and high school science courses involve rote memorization of abstract terms invented by bearded old men, whose laboratory experiences are restricted to cook-book exercises of no apparent practical usefulness, are unlikely to find science interesting or to pursue it in college.
4. What is Columbia's Summer Research Program and how does it work? Each spring, 10 secondary school science teachers from New York City, Westchester, Nassau, Rockland, and Bergen County secondary schools are selected by the Program's Advisory Committee from ~50-70 applicants. Teachers are selected on the basis of evidence of leadership in their schools, sufficient course work in science to be able to understand and participate in the research ongoing in Columbia labs, and a personal interview. They perform full-time hands-on laboratory research in astronomy, biology, chemistry, earth science, medical science, or physics, under the supervision of a member of Columbia's faculty for two consecutive summers. They become regular members of their laboratory's research team, participating in all its activities. It is the program's key element, to which each teacher devotes >80% of his/her time.
Teachers are appointed Visiting Scholars in Columbia University, which enables them to use all of Columbia's resources, including its libraries. They receive a stipend of $6,000/summer, and $1,000 following each summer to purchase supplies/materials/equipment needed to translate the concepts/technologies they learn at Columbia into classroom and school laboratory exercises. Professor O. Roger Anderson of Columbia's Teachers College, and their peers in the program, provide them with pedagogical assistance in developing these exercises. Teachers meet as a group one day/week for a scientific seminar led by a member of Columbia's faculty, to participate in a series of pedagogical activities designed to fortify their classroom instruction, to learn about educational resources available on the Internet or at one of New York's great public institutions (e.g., American Museum of Natural History, New York Hall of Science, etc.), to tell one another about the research they are doing, and to network with one another. By the end of a summer, teachers have become a professional learning community, celebrating one another's successes, sharing one another's frustrations, helping one another to find new ways to make science come alive in the classroom. Mr. Jay Dubner, the Program's only paid employee, has been responsible for designing and facilitating many of the workshops including "Internet as a Research Tool," "Grant Writing for the Classroom Teacher," and "Introduction to PowerPoint." In addition, Mr. Dubner coordinates all of the weekly seminar activities. During the 2003 Summer Seminar Series, there were 35 separate activities.
5. How much does the program cost, and who pays for it? Columbia faculty generously contribute their time and welcome teachers into their laboratories, thereby making the invaluable human and physical resources of this great research university available to the teachers, and through them, to their students. Program funders in 2003 include the Bristol-Myers Squibb Foundation, Camille & Henry Dreyfus Foundation, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, J.P. Morgan Chase Foundation, Laura B. Vogler Foundation, Lucent Technologies Foundation, National Science Foundation, The New York Times Company Foundation, The Pfizer Foundation, and The Waksman Foundation for Microbiology. Grants from these foundations cover the full costs of teacher stipends, enrichment funds, laboratory supplies and other direct expenses, which total ~$10,500/teacher/summer. Other administrative expenses total ~$90,000/year, bringing the program's total direct annual costs for 20-22 teachers to about $300,000, or a total of $30,000/teacher for the two-year program. Most teachers remain in teaching for more than10 years following completion of the program. Assuming each teacher teaches ~100 students/year, the program costs ~$30 per student, about the cost of 15 slices of pizza with no extra toppings.
6. Is there evidence that students benefit from their teachers' participation in Columbia's Summer Research Program? John Dewey conceived of the Lab School at the University of Chicago as a laboratory in which to explore new educational practices. We have followed Dewey's example and studied the impacts of teacher participation in Columbia's program on their students. At the breakout session I will describe studies showing that in the year prior to entry into Columbia's program, students of participating teachers passed the New York State Regents exam in the science taught by that teacher at the same rate as students in the sciences classes of non-participating teachers in the same school. In contrast, in the years following a teacher's completion of Columbia's program, more of their students were involved in after school science clubs and Intel-type science projects, and significantly more of them passed the New York State Regents examination in the science taught by the participating teacher than students in the sciences classes of non-participating teachers in the same school. Our data indicate these benefits are long lasting, continuing to pay dividends five or more years after teachers complete Columbia's program.
Summary. Science is at the forefront of the development of contemporary culture. To paraphrase Timothy Ferris, science is what we humans do best at the beginning of the 21st century. It is like sailing in the time of Prince John the Navigator, and music in the time of Mozart. Its tools and concepts are changing more rapidly than at any time in history, making it more difficult than ever for biology, chemistry, physics, and earth science teachers to maintain contact with the tools, materials, and concepts of their sciences. SWEPTs enable teachers to obtain hands-on experience with these tools, materials and concepts, and with leading practitioners of science. SWEPTs make the existing human and physical resources of our nation's universities available to primary and secondary school teachers at minimal added cost. They are a complementary form of professional development, not a substitute for in service programs, graduate courses, or other types of professional development. Schools and school systems should collaborate with neighboring colleges, universities, hospitals, and businesses in developing and supporting SWEPT experiences for all science teachers.

text: Nicolle Devenish, Communications Director White House 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., NW Washington, DC, 20500 Dear Ms. Devenish: Congratulations on your new job. I'm Art Levine, a contributing editor of the Washington Monthly who has also written for numerous other publications that have often been quite critical of the Bush administration. Nevertheless, I've got a great proposal for you to consider. Even though the administration's $240,000 arrangement with Armstrong Williams seems to have backfired, I'd argue that paying commentators to promote the administration's agenda is still a savvy approach. (As a job-hunting freelancer newly returned to Washington, when I saw the news about the Williams flap, my gut reaction was: Why didn't I think of that?) But for your purposes, instead of supporting a conservative figure like Williams\u2014who, after all, was "preaching to the choir"\u2014why not back an enterprising liberal journalist who can write high-impact contrarian articles that will create intellectual legitimacy for your priority issues? As Democrats unite in opposition to your administration's agenda here and abroad, you'll need someone like me to "shill" for you in liberal circles. Of course, I'm not as well-known as Armstrong Williams, but my progressive background will add credibility to the arguments I can make on behalf of your policies. And instead of the $240,000 your Education Department paid Williams, my services can be obtained for a mere $5,000 per article (plus expenses) and a "power lunch" at the Palm restaurant, drinks included. Here are some of the potential articles I'll be able to submit on your behalf: Alberto Gonzales: The Next Bobby Kennedy? With an up-from-poverty background that gives him a unique appreciation of the nation's minorities, Alberto Gonzales looks to be the sort of crusading attorney general who will surprise even his liberal critics with independent, public-spirited actions. And just as Bobby Kennedy was able to put his role as a henchman for Joe McCarthy behind him, Gonzales has shown that's he's capable of growth in office. Despite his alleged role in crafting purported "torture" memos, Gonzales showed a commendable readiness to learn and change when he told the Senate Judiciary Committee, "Torture and abuse will not be tolerated by this administration." He also vowed to "aggressively" pursue those who engage in such wrongdoing. Bobby Kennedy would do no less.At the same time, Gonzales's tough-minded willingness to maneuver around petty bureaucratic niceties (e.g., the Geneva Conventions) when faced with America's enemies brings to mind RFK's crusades against Jimmy Hoffa and organized crime. Kennedy faced carping then for his brass-knuckle tactics, but history has proved him right, and Gonzales will be similarly vindicated after his term is over. Social Security Privatization: Building a Democratic Majority President Bush's private Social Security accounts should be embraced by liberals who want to construct a winning Democratic majority. This majority will be formed not by opposing Bush's plans but by supporting them. Doing so will create a bloc of newly affluent Americans who, like Silicon Valley and Hollywood entrepreneurs, will become reliable Democratic supporters, able to write big checks for liberal causes. Let's take off our blinders on this issue: The stock market clearly pays more than paltry Social Security accounts that can't even cover most expenses. And this new generation of rich younger workers will favor progressive causes, such as increased social spending to help the growing numbers of starving and homeless senior citizens. The Case for War: The Rise of Iraq's Counterculture The media has focused relentlessly on the bad news from Iraq, but champions of cutting-edge expression should be cheered by the growth of a new generation of artistic rebels there. Only the presence of American troops makes it all possible. It took decades for Great Britain and the United States to develop thriving punk rock scenes, but Operation Iraqi Freedom has indeed created a new sense of freedom\u2014including the freedom to attack American imperialism\u2014in that once-repressed country. Today's Iraqi punk rockers\u2014such as New Found Glory to Allah\u2014have created a mass following among young Shiites and Sunnis alike with such powerful anthems as "Baghdad Calling" and "F*** the Military." The United States has also worked to strengthen more moderate Islamic and secular factions, which in turn has allowed avant-garde artists to emerge who feel free to challenge not only America, but traditional orthodoxy as well. Whether it's a chic Baghdad gallery displaying Mapplethorpe-style photographs of gay Iraqi men posing in unique ways with bullwhips or just performance artists who feel free to burn American flags, a sense of liberation not seen since the heady days of the Weimar Republic is alive throughout Iraq. Even the prospect of a civil war has not deterred Iraq's emerging artists, and they stand ready to make the modern-day equivalent of such immortal masterpieces as Picasso's Guernica. This creative upsurge in Iraq can be expected to bring with it support for such longstanding liberal causes as gay and abortion rights. Even if this flowering of personal liberation proves to be short-lived and its champions are all beheaded by a Shiite theocracy, this so-called "Baghdad Spring" will give an oppressed people a taste of Western-style freedom. The cost to America of establishing such a beachhead of personal\u2014and artistic\u2014self-expression in the Mideast has been well worth the sacrifice of our brave fighting men and women. ****** As you can see, I have plenty of ideas for articles with a pro-administration slant. I hope you'll agree that arranging to subsidize my work would be well worth your money. I look forward to speaking to you soon about this win-win opportunity. Yours, Art Levine

As most of you know I signed up with a running coach. I started beginning of October. I have to say I have noticed a big difference in my overall running performance.
Here are a few things I've learnt through my training with a running coaching:
1. I can run around a track in a circle and not be bored.
2. I can run faster than I think without my legs falling off and my lungs exploding.
3. I am a consistent runner. (What I mean is that I can keep the same speed each time I run around the track)
4. I am a runner not a walker – who knew?
5. Consistent practice makes the improvements greater.
6. Rest is just as important as running.
Two weeks ago I ran my first 10km after a month of training with my run coach and I can honestly say that I felt different. I ran consistently throughout the race. I felt strong throughout. I finished strong. I may not have run a personal best time but I ran consistently, not a lot of walking. I ran most of the up hills. These are all massive improvements for me personally!
So what are the things I now need to focus on:
1. I need to get into a running routine on my own. I tend to just run with my run coach and not a lot of runs on my own.
2. I need to focus on keeping my pace and worry less about time.
3. I need to do more body conditioning and core strength training.
4. I need to keep focusing on my stride, the way my arms swing and my breathing.
In other running news I have signed up to a running club (more to follow on this soon) for next year.
My plans for next year start with running my second 21km race on the 11th of January, The Dischem 21km as well as training for the toughest 21km around Johannesburg, namely the Pirates 21km (a lot of hills!) which will be in February next year. A lot of training and running needed over the festive season to ensure I stay fit and ready to tackle 2105 head on!
What are your thoughts on a running coach? Have you ever used one? What is the toughest 21km in your area and have you tackled it?

Thank you sir I appreciate it, just thought Grandma finally got her revenge.
That's very funny. As a total BASIC head back in the day, I recognize the interpretation. Also, conditional requests have always been a bugaboo for me.
Alright, cool. The Magnolia poster is that flower with the actors faces in the petals, it's also the dvd cover.
I like most of those movies. I haven't seen Red Pill or Triangle but I like most of the others. Girl Next Door is very underrated. But Fight Club is total garbage other than the first 30 minutes or so, just homoeroticism and a guy slowly turning into a domestic terrorist. About the Magnolia flower signifying the overlapping stories, well yeah duh, that's not something for a smart person to "get", that's the poster, and that's clear from the poster. It was a gimmick though and an unnecessary one.
I'm fuckin' with you, man. I like Frailty too, but I haven't seen it in a long time. I might watch that again and see if I have a different opinion. I was certainly not mad, I'm just willing to say absolutely anything to anyone and it means nothing to me. This is the internet Brocephus! We're not even using our real names here. None of this matters, never did. I'd be interested to know what movies you like. With Magnolia, the flower thing you said, I don't get that and don't know what you're talking about. I just know that there's something that can be derived from Magnolia flowers that can treat cancer, and the movie's predominantly about cancer and adults treating children badly and ignoring them.There's through line of "everything and everyone is connected" that I don't really care for but still I really like that one. You are a very troll seeming non-troll.
Fuck you, you cuck incel cunt! Good trolling lately Rotwang. What's the worst movie? Bitch

Marketing Concept and Kindle Ebook Launch
Marketing Concept to Attract Changemakers and Creatives
I've been a marketer for over a dozen product launches, business startups and micro businesses, as revealed in my Kindle ebook, Marketing Step-by-Step Guide. My marketing concept ebook for micro businesses was a natural fit with the Crowdfunding Workshop for startups and entrepreneurs looking for marketing info to build your tribe. Over 70 attended the live workshop at The Tribe and another 50 were on the livecast (Zoom, Facebook Live and Google Hangouts). There was a total audience engagement of 120 offline and online live event. I will be using this particular event as a case study for this website. Every startup is unique and results will vary.
In this case study, the reason for the high turnout was the matching of the target audience or persona or customer avatar of creatives and changemakers to the messaging:
The Art Party is co-producing workshops at The Tribe, tech startup collaboration space in 2017 to help 270 creatives and changemakers get their projects funded. Changemakers are the force of social evolution and every one of us can become one through collaboration and being part of something greater. Crowdfunding already has a successful track record funding artistic and creative projects, or community-oriented social entrepreneurship projects.
The Art Party had built up an audience of over 10,000 social media contacts on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram in Vancouver. As endorser of Earth Charter® for a just, sustainable, and peaceful planet and participated in the annual Earth Charter Day at DUDOC Vancouver, The Art Party promotes events that inspire changemakers.
The Art Party target audience or persona is involved in social innovation, a conscious business person and is savvy. With the advice of Spring, The Art Party spun off Vancouver Social Innovation Meetup in 2015 for "conscious + savvy innovators". The Meetup grew to over 1,000 members in 2016. Having the alignment of the persona representing the tribe to the messaging for the crowdfunding event resulted in a high turnout with a lot of audience engagement, offline and online.
The live event speakers covered:
- The difference between rewards-based crowdfunding, fundraising & equity crowdfunding.
- Why some campaigns fail and others succeed.
- Strategies for planning and launching a successful rewards-based campaign.
- How to use Facebook Ads to build your social media following and promote your campaign.
Here is the link to the videos: https://theartparty.thinkific.com/courses/crowdfunding-success-workshop
How to Create Your Customer Avatar
A customer avatar allows you to learn as much as possible about your potential customers. The more you know about them, the easier it will be to engage them with your message. We want to find out everything possible about the folks in our target demographic. The more precise we can get on our laser targeting, the better our marketing will perform. Customer avatars are only one important part of the puzzle.
Another piece is to make sure you reach your customer exactly where they are. You should understand their pain points. People are either moved from pleasure or pain. They want to be moved away from their current pain and suffering. They'll take any action that will remove them from that pain. If they are moved by pleasure, then you will need to provide incentives.
How to Discover Your Customer Avatar Questionnaire
* A customer avatar is a detailed profile of your target customer. This will help you write your marketing message and use the mobile tool to reach that specific person.
1) Who is your ideal customer?
• Name? Age? Married? Children?
• Lives where? School Attended?
• Job Title? Profession? Household Income?
• Hair color? Eyes? Weight?
• How many years in current position? Current salary?
• How many jobs held during course of career?
• Industry? Sells to? Annual Revenue?
• Number of Employees? Located at? Years in Business?
• Political views? Religious views?
• Personal interests? Hobbies?
2. What is a typical day in the life of your ideal customer prospect?
• Favorite brands?
• Favorite Web sites? Which social media? Which mobile tool?
• Source for breaking news?
• Source for industry or business news?
3. List at least 3 problems your ideal customer is having that makes them an ideal customer for your business.
4. What is the worst thing that could possibly happen to your ideal customer if their problem isn't eventually solved?
5. What is the best thing to happen to your ideal customer if their problem is solved?
6. What is it that you are trying to provide your customers?
7. Now, create a short story about your customer avatar.
• What are the details about their life and professional background?
• How is this problem making your customer feel?
• What types of frustrations does your customer keep having?
• What does your customer need more than anything?
• How can your business best provide the product or service that's needed most?

You Never Can Tell
By George Bernard Shaw
Directed by Lisa Peterson
Runs Aug 10 – Sep 4. Opening Night August 13, 2016, 8pm
At one riotous lunch, Mrs. Clandon, a famed feminist author and lecturer, is accidentally reunited with her estranged husband, while her high-minded eldest daughter tries to stave off a smooth-talking dentist's advances. Originally set at a stuffy seaside resort, director Lisa Peterson moves Shaw's off-beat comedy out of the drawing room and into the Bay Area! Identities are confused, ideals are challenged, and mischief is afoot in this turn-of-the-century romantic farce. What could possibly happen? As a wise waiter continuously, and hilariously, observes, "You never can tell!"

Small businesses in rural North Bay communities looking for financing are about to get a boost.
Working Solutions (workingsolutions.org), a microlending agency with offices in San Francisco and San Rafael, is aiming to provide 120 loans throughout the Bay Area in 2016 for low-income, women and minority business owners. That includes 15 loans each in Sonoma and Marin counties, and 10 in Napa.
Wells Fargo Bank has provided support for Working Solutions for the past 15 years and recently presented them with a $50,000 check to help launch a new initiative, the Rural Investment for Sustainable Economies (RISE), with the goal of providing capital and consulting services to help start and expand rural businesses throughout the North Bay.
"Wells Fargo understands the importance of small businesses to help generate job growth and build a vibrant local economy," said Ashoo Vaid, the bank's North Bay area president. "This grant will go a long way to help strengthen Working Solutions' efforts to provide business consulting services to entrepreneurs in rural communities."
Since 2005, the nonprofit has issued about 29 loans to small businesses in Sonoma, the majority of those within the last two years. Working Solutions provides loans to entrepreneurs for $5,000–$50,000, with the majority of those around $24,000. Brand new businesses typically borrow $5,000–$10,000. It functions as a credit-building loan, to be able to eventually access a bank loan.
Since 2014, Working Solutions has provided over $600,000 in loans to Sonoma County small businesses — 48 percent of which went to female entrepreneurs and 83 percent to low-or-moderate income entrepreneurs. Those businesses based include Hip Chick Farms, Firefly Chocolate, Sonoma Gymnastics, Nexo Advertising and Mama Tina's Ravioli.
While their only office in the North Bay area in San Rafael, Working Solutions partners with the Sonoma Economic Development Board along to reach out to farther flung communities in Sonoma County. It also provides every business with resources, workshops, mentoring, and business coaching program and networking opportunities for five years.
"Access to capital for entrepreneurs through programs like Working Solutions helps meet one of the primary needs for Sonoma County businesses to start, grow, and expand here," said Sonoma County Economic Development Board Executive Director Ben Stone.
Working Solutions started in 1999 as a workforce development program under the auspices of TMC Financing. As a nonprofit, it received funding from the federal government's CDFI, the Small Business Administration, and Corporate Grants. To date it has granted 341 loans, totaling $8.5 million with a 96 percent repayment rate.
"Our current North Bay small business clients are such a unique mix of industries and experience — and we love to see the impact that they have on job growth and economic development in this region," said Laurie O'Hara (email@example.com), Working Solutions director of business development. "We're so excited to be able to connect more small businesses with resources and continue to build community through our work."
