It can get really frustrating when its feels like there is an endless war between you and creativity. Instead of getting worked up about not being able to get in the zone, you can focus on getting your mind where you need it to be by taking simple proactive steps.
You must have heard all your life that it's the right side of the human brain that controls creativity. However, new studies have found that creativity actually involves the whole brain. Highly creative people use one part of the brain for memory and attention at the same time that they use another part for imagination.
You might also have thought that your creativity depends on your IQ, but that is false as well. There is a host of moral, motivational, emotional, and intellectual characteristics that inform creativity. New information like this lets us understand the brain better, which can be useful for learning how best to boost creativity.
Read on to find some of the easiest ways to boost your creativity.
Do something you love to do
Often, the most creative people in any industry or field are those who really love what they do. If you are not as creative as you think you should be, perhaps you need to find a niche you find more enjoyable.
Love and creativity work hand in hand and when you understand that emotion plays a significant role in creative processes, you will learn how to enhance your creativity better. So, when you are in need of a boost, try taking a break and working on a hobby you truly love.
Create a problem for yourself
The last thing you want is another problem to deal with, however, restricting yourself is one of the easiest ways you can force yourself to be creative.
For example, if you are used to writing 2,000-word fiction stories, try restricting a story you would have written in 2,000 words to 500 words or less. The same applies to any endeavour you might find yourself engaged in. While we are often asked to think outside the box, sometimes you have to force yourself to think within the box and even reduce the size of the box.
Try nootropics
If you are familiar with nootropics, you would know that they can be used to enhance about any function of the human brain. If you have never tried them before or are completely new to the concept, Nootropic Geek has an excellent introduction to the topic.
Nootropic supplements would normally have different effects on different people and what might work for someone else might not necessarily work for you. Nootropics can be a lifesaver at times when you need to be super creative but you just haven't been able to get into the vibe.
Mind you, the best nootropics take time to work, so they are not exactly what you might call a quick fix. However, there are other options that will it work relatively fast. So, pick whatever options suit you best, depending on your needs.
Steal ideas
If we are completely honest with ourselves, it would be easy to see that nothing really is original. Creative persons are not creative because they are great at coming up with stuff out of the blue, rather, they are creative because they are able to make connections between existing ideas that other people failed to connect.
Stealing ideas does not mean you literally steal someone else's idea, but it means that you put your mind to work to notice things and make meaningful connections that no one else would.
Try something new
Sometimes, even if we find ourselves doing something we absolutely love, it can get to that point where it feels like we have lost our creative juices. At such times, it will help to do something different.
For example, if you are a writer and are having a hard time putting out any good work, it might help to take a break and practice a bit of photography.
This approach can be applied to about any field as the break you take might end up being just what you need to infuse some new ideas into your regular work. You don't have to be a pro at whatever it is you decide to try out, it is the actual fact of doing it that matters.
In conclusion, while it would have been grand to be able to push a button to flick on your creativity whenever you hit those all too familiar lows, we have not been blessed with that kind of luxury. The great thing about creativity is it never wears out. With the right methods and proper approach, you will only get better at maintaining an optimal level of creativity.

[Quotes Dipsychus, Scene IV, 83-8: 'O let me love my love' to 'mine own inmost heart'. ]
Within Clough's nature contended the spiritual instincts and intuitions, an intellect compelled to sceptical doubts by the tendencies of his time, and a will bent upon disinterested practical activity. The low worldliness, cynicism, mammon-worship, ignoble prudence, and paltering with conscience of our age were all apparent to him, but could not touch and stain his soul. The Evil Spirit of his Faust-like poem, Dipsychus, is this low worldliness, this ignoble prudence, this cynicism, the demon of a saeculum realisticum, who draws down men to hell.1
This article was reprinted in Modern Poets of Faith, Doubt and Paganism (London, 1904), 91-104.
Arthur T. Lyttelton (1852-1903), Suffragan Bishop of Southampton, was a liberal in politics and a tolerant high churchman.
We would contrast with Mr. Arnold's tone of thought, with his hopes, his sympathies, and his beliefs, not one of the more definitely Christian poets such as Mr. Tennyson or Mr. Browning, nor one whose irreligion is as definite, such as Mr. Swinburne; but one whom Mr. Arnold would, we suppose, claim as a sympathiser in thought, and who was, indeed,
1 To illustrate what has been said of Clough, the reader may refer to his review of Newman's The Soul, his poems 'The New Sinai', 'Qui Laborat Orat' and Dipsychus. (Dowden's note. )

|Snow makes me happy!
Happy New Year to all of my dear readers! I wish you can memorize 2015 with happy thoughts and believe in the new year being as amazing if not better. However, if your previous year wasn't what you had hoped for, remember that 2016 is a new year - a year full of new experiences, new friends and amazing moments to be remembered forever.
|Vanaja Church while singing Christmas carols
I celebrated the change of the year very calmly at home with my mom. It was a different New Year's Eve because it was the first time (that I can remember) that we stayed at home. Every other time we have celebrated at my granny's in Hamina, but this time we couldn't go due to my work shift. That didn't matter too much because we were able to start the cross-country skiing season by skiing 10 km. Afterwards, we watched some fireworks and took a sauna ''to wash the previous year away'' as my grandpa used to say.
New Year's wasn't the only difference in my December, which meant the month passing by extremely fast. The beginning of the month was spent focusing on my studies, visiting family friend's places and starting with the Christmas season work. After the autumn semester ended (Yay.), I had some more time to focus on meeting friends, to pay more attention to socializing and prepare for Christmas. Unfortunately, I couldn't evaluate so much time for correspondence, however, now I'm happy to say that I have only three letters waiting for to be replied; from Ilona (Latvia), Almante (Lithuania) and Christine (Austria). I'm sorry for the terrible delays, but I'm also happy of being able to catch up a bit with the letters.
Christmas was celebrated with the dearest people in my life. It followed a similar pattern as previous years, therefore, I'll show my Christmas through pictures. Thank you for all the pretty postcards - I'm fond of postcards and Christmas, so they are more than welcome.

New trailer for Disney's Frozen gives more backstory and teases the music of the film
Disney's latest CGI animated tale, FROZEN, is set to roll in next month and it has all the spirit and style of their similar effort TANGLED. Now, we have a new trailer that dives more into the backstory and villain of the film, Elsa, and also teases the music, particularly the songs. With the bold claim that this is the greatest Disney animated event since THE LION KING, this has got a lot to live up to, but I can't deny that it looks pretty fun. I mean, at least it's not ESCAPE FROM PLANET EARTH, right?
Have a look/listen:
The irony of Josh Gad's snowman character happily yelling "Let's go bring back summer" is a bit too much, but then I reminded myself that it's a talking snowman and all was right again. The film also stars Kristen Bell, Jonathan Groff, Alan Tudyk, and Idina Menzel as Elsa. This will likely make some solid dough, especially heading into the holiday season, and it looks harmless enough in terms of animated kids films, which have been rather lackluster this year.
FROZEN debuts on November 27, 2013.

Martin B-26 Marauder
A Selected Bibliography of Research Sources
In 1992 Malia Enterprises, Inc. published The Martin B-26 Marauder, A Bibliography and Guide to Research Sources, ISBN 1-877597-02-3. This 184 document, compiled by Esther M. Oyster, Senior Archivist and John O. Moench, Senior Historian, contained twenty-three categories of data supporting B-26 Marauder research.
Due to the continuing requests for published information on or related to the Martin B-26 Marauder, the book section of the cited bibliography has been reproduced below with the addition of some select items brought into view since the 1992 publication date. While the following list of items is extensive, it does not purport to reflect the full scope of published materials that serious researchers need to investigate to do a thorough job.
Research is an in-depth undertaking. The idea that casual reading or a simple entry into the Internet will produce a researched answer of value is wrong. To research the Martin B-26 Marauder and that of the associated men and women requires access to and study of a breadth of available data some of which by category follows:
What is important for all researchers to keep in mind is that other researchers can and do make mistakes and to accept the writings and authorities of another writer without a verification of the data presented can be to add depth to an unwitting or intended distortion or error of history. What is equally important for all researchers to keep in mind is that only by thorough research can they avoid adding to the record of historical errors. Esther Oyster & John O. Moench

Sometimes life's most precious treasure lies at Dangerous Depths.
Leia ditched a promising medical career to settle on a secluded island of Hawaii. She ditched Bane, too, and he's come to the island to find out why. He's also in search of a fortune rumored to lie offshore. But an act of sabotage that pushes Bane closer to Leia plunges them both into a tangle of emotion--just as a series of threatening events grip the island.
Theft, a friend's death, a bizarre intruder, hints of a second treasure...and even murder--how can they sort it all out when everyone on the island has something to hide?
The novels in Colleen Coble's popular Aloha Reef Series combine mystery and suspense with tender romance in an irresistible island setting.

Dragon Chase
by Petar Meseldzija
Dragon Chase, oil on MDF board, 56 x 100cm / 22 x 39,4 inch, 2011
The commission was clear – three women + one or more dragons + one or more dogs.
They are
all companions, and traveling to a central gathering. When the client asked me to do this painting, there was a number of artists who were already taking part in this project: Donato Giancola, Raoul Vitale,
Todd Lockwood,
Steven Hickman,
Julie Bell,
Bob Eggleton,
Boris Vallejo,
Scott Gustafson,
Matt Stewart,
Heather Theurer and Ruth Sanderson. All of them were doing a variation of the main theme, therefore the different environments, different dragons, different nationalities, and different types of dogs were required.
I was given the opportunity to choose between the two scenes: an icy polar scene at night with the Aurora Borealis, or a scene where the travelers camp near or in a graveyard. However, the client was open to my suggestions for the environment and the types of women and dogs.
When I started to think about both the icy and the graveyard scene, I felt that nothing moved inside of me, which is often a bad sign, for it meant that I was not inspired,
in spite of the fact that I found the general concept of the project very appealing. So, I tried to come up with an idea that would be inspiring to me, an idea that will create the feeling of excitement which would stay with me for the biggest part of the work on the painting. I then closed my eyes and started to envision a forest scene, letting all sorts of images to ascend from the depths of my mind to its surface. When in this kind of meditative state, I often see vivid pictures in front of my mind's eyes, pictures that are so much more vivid than any painting I have produced until now or will ever create, I am afraid. As soon as I open my eyes and start sketching them, they are gone. Therefore I am often forced to sketch these images with my eyes closed. Anyway, while doing this "pictorial meditation" of a forest scene, the image of a dragon flying low through a dense forest just popped up in my mind.
This is a very poor depiction of what I have seen in my mind. However it was sufficient to "catch" the idea and to "freeze" the emotion that went with it. The idea of a chase followed quickly after. I then did a drawing of the scene (this time with my eyes widely open, of course), by using some photo reference, as well as drawing from imagination, looking at the sketch and remembering the image I saw in my mind.
In order to be more precise about what this scene is all about, I will have to explain the genesis of the painting's title. The initial, working title was
Dragon Chase
, for I envisioned the scene as a dragon hunt scene. But then I remembered that they are all companions and therefore do not kill or eat each other. "Damn it", I thought…
However because this is all about friends having a pleasant time with each other during the long trip, and in order to keep all the composition elements in place, I turned the basic idea of a hunt into the concept of a friendly race, and renamed it
Dragon Race
. Later on I finally chose to call it
Dragon Chase
anyway, purely because of the sound of the words, in spite of the fact that the word "chase" often implies a hunt situation.
I than started to realized that this new concept offered me a new set of challenges. The question that presented itself was: what do I actually want to say with this new concept, what do I want to show?
Gradually it became clear to me that my main goal with this painting was to depict a situation wherein the requested elements/characters from the composition interact with each other in a specific way and are connected by one common thing, or a feeling. That feeling, I thought, should be a feeling of joy of freedom, movement and speed.
Although it seemed at first a little strange, even a bit ridiculous, I in fact intended to depict a universal aspect of the mental state of the human being, as well as these two animals in question, regardless of the nature of the surrounding environment, something that, one could say, belongs to the domain of psychology rather than the fantasy. In other words, I wanted to depict the feeling of
joie de vivre
, or
cheerful enjoyment of life.
I guess I needed to infuse the painting with that kind of content, to add an extra layer to the painting's story, in order to inspire and amuse myself during the process of its creation, and to give myself the feeling that this is not just a superficial depiction of a scene from the story, but rather something….well, more!
As for the technical side of this painting, the low horizontal composition was chosen to emphasize the dynamic movement and to imply a claustrophobic feel of the forest, suggesting that, although it seems obvious that the flying dragon is quicker than the rest of the company, however the complex pattern of the tree brunches, roots and boulders prevent him to fly full speed, giving his slower friends, his "opponents", more chance to ketch him, or to win, whatever the point of their game is. By introducing a situation of confronting horizontal and vertical lines / forms (tree brunches, position and the movement of the characters) I tried to emphasize the general movement in the painting, and by doing so to accentuate the feeling of speed and joy. In other words I first of all tried to present the spectator with a certain feeling. This was my primary objective. The other elements and layers of the picture's story were of the secondary importance, although some of you might see it as to be the other way around, which is perfectly ok with me, for if the painting is good, it must offer more than one door for entering it.
Have a creative day!

After the initial nervousness and awkwardness of the long-distance relationship wore off, all I'm left with is wonderful memories and effortless moments. I very regularly visit the city of Leeds to see the special K but also get a (quite pricey, I must say) detox from London (there's no only so much time you can bear to spend on the tube without going nuts).
Last Sunday was countryside Sunday. The sun was glorious, a few clouds strolled along but a cloudless sky is very rare and indeed, suspicious, so it's all fine. Me and Kieran, we jumped into his grey Toyota Corolla and took to the (country) roads with Malham Cove as our final destination.
For those who don't know what Malham Cove is, read on:
"The 70 metre (230ft) high, gently curving cliff of white limestone has amazed visitors for centuries. Formed along the line of the Middle Craven Fault, it has been eroded backwards from the line of the fault by the action of water and ice over millions of years."
It's quite impressive and it was exactly how Percy Shelley described Mont Blanc: 'sublime'. The visitor stands in awe of the glorious work of nature, which has been tirelessly working on its masterpieces for centuries.
A few minutes away from the Cove, where we parked the car, are some local, cozy, proper traditional pubs (no Wetherspoons here!) with lovely English food (although I had a Greek pastry, so a bit of gourmet is to be expected). Perfect for lunching after jumping your way through boulders (I might be exaggerating here).
The walk up the Cove is lovely, with a stream flowing right on front of it, and cows grazing (and posing for Instagram? cheeky!). Surprisingly, the patches of grass didn't trigger my hayfever, and for the first time in my life I am grateful of the way my body works.
The walk up the Cove is relatively smooth, with a few dodgy boulders to practice your jumping skills on. Up on the Cove, moving around the surface can be a little risky, as the gaps between boulders widen and the chances of getting your foot stuck between two mean-looking rocks are quite high. No, i'm only exaggerating for the sake of humour, it really isn't that bad.
Turns out (surprise surprise) that I was wearing the wrong shoes. I was fully aware that my low-heeled boots weren't perfect for bouldering, but I only brought a backpack so my space was limited. I had to make do with boots, while everyone else was comfortably practicing jumping / bouldering skills in their trainers. Never mind, I was born to stand out, right?
The view from the top is hugely rewarding. The vastness and the sublime beauty of Yorkshire countryside is practically at your feet. Combine this with a glorious sunny day and you have a good life, better than the one most people live. London, take note.
The rest of the day was wonderful too. We stopped by Haworth, where the Bronte sisters were from, and whose people will never let you forget that, with the Bronte theme being popular among shop owners. I fell in love with its beautiful cobblestone streets, the vintage/cute shops and cafes and this feeling of being in a place untouched by time and still in touch with its tradition & roots. A proper English village.
My message for you all London / city people; get out of the urban jungle once in a while, breathe in some fresh air, trigger your allergies (if you're like me) & let your body take in nature (not too much, you might develop an allergy to your city's public transport afterwards).

In our attempt to make Rabies a history in the region, the Animal Care Section of Tibet Charity carried out 10 days' mass vaccination program for the stray dogs in the region starting from 28th September which is also a World Rabies Day.
Our veterinary team consisting of two vets, two para-vets and two assistants went from village to village and from door to door looking for stray dogs and vaccinating them. In their attempt to vaccinate as many dogs as they possible could, they had to climb hills, cross streams on foot and work tirelessly from dawn to dusk. Many in the team got bitten by dogs but still then they faced every difficulty with strong determination and focus to achieve their noble goal.
Last year we vaccinated little more than 700 dogs but this year, we could cover more area and hence vaccinate more number of dogs. This year our vet team vaccinated 865 dogs in 10 days' time which meant that on an average they vaccinated 80 dogs a day.
It may be mentioned here that since we started our anti-rabies vaccination program in 2007, the areas covered by us had no rabid dog cases. This fact has been verified by the Chief Medical Officer of Delek hospital who said, 'Before Tibet Charity started A-R program, Delek hospital used to get patients with rabid dog bites coming to the hospital but since 2007, no such case was reported."
We have thus far achieved in making rabies a history in the region and this would not have been possible without the kind support we have received from our sponsors, volunteers and our vet team.
We therefore thank Brigitte Bardot Fondation, France for their kind financial support which enabled us to provide free vaccination to all the stray dogs in the region for last so many years. We thank all our volunteers, both past and present, for their wonderful contribution towards making the anti-rabies as well as ABC program a big success.


text: I have never enjoyed working out. Like never. I hated the gym because I always felt judged and never really felt successful. I signed up for Kristen's HIIT on a whim, thinking "Oh crap, what did I just do?" But it was a great decision! Not only did I enjoy working out, but I actually missed it (gasp!) when I missed a few days! I could feel my body getting stronger and I just felt good about myself. I didn't focus on the number on my scale because it could in no way measure how I was feeling, which was awesome!

The customer chooses "pay" in its Biedronka mobile payment app, a payment code is shown and given to the cashier, the purchase is then displayed in the mobile and approved with "OK".
Another example of a large player that will create their own mobile payment service is the joint venture MCX, consisting of the largest retail chains in USA.
This is yet another proof on what I have commented before, that I believe the main players in mobile payment will be financial institutions (banks, card companies), mobile network operators and large brands like for example Biedronka, MCX and maybe Google Wallet and ISIS.

NCAA Tournament Central
Tallahassee, FL – Florida State soccer has played some big games at the Seminole Soccer Complex. In 2000 FSU beat both Florida and North Carolina at home. Later that season the Seminoles hosted the first NCAA Tournament game in school history. In 2002 the Seminoles hosted two opening round games in the tournament and last season for the first time a third round game was played in Tallahassee. None of those stack up with what is going to take place Friday night when the Seminole Soccer Complex serves as the host site for an NCAA Quarterfinal match. Second-seeded Florida State (17-3-4) and ACC rival Clemson (11-7-5) will face-off at 7:00 p.m. for the right to go to the College Cup.
"This is a big deal," said senior Toby Ranck. "If you step back from it, you realize how lucky we are. We have worked so hard all season and put ourselves in a good place so I think it is deserved."
"This is a perfect way to end the home field portion of our careers with an NCAA Quarterfinal match," said India Trotter. "We get to play in front of people who have supported us at home for four straight seasons. It is a great send off for our last game at home but hopefully it is not our last game."
The game is a rematch of the 0-0 tie that ended the regular season for both clubs. That game was also played in Tallahassee. For Clemson it was the first of three 0-0 draws they have been involved in over a six-game stretch that covers the ACC and NCAA Tournaments. Florida State, on the other hand, has scored 13 goals in the six games since the teams last met.
"A lot of us were disappointed with the outcome of the first meeting," said Kelly Rowland. "We had a lot of good chances that we just didn't put away. In the back of our heads we want to try and not go into overtime or PK's as they have won three straight shootouts. The stakes are high so is the motivation."
"I thought we played very well," said FSU Head Coach Mark Krikorian of the first meeting with Clemson. "It's one of the games we look back at and thought that the passing play and the attacking play was very good and the defending was outstanding. But our finishing was less than stellar. I think that's an area where we have improved. We've done a better job at taking our chances and finishing them. We're going to have to finish our chances at NCAA tournament time. Everyone's a little bit tighter and the results are a little bit closer for the most part. We have great respect for Clemson and we look forward to the competition this weekend."
Finishing was a problem for FSU on the day as was Tiger keeper Ashley Phillips. The Seminoles outshot Clemson 32-9 and put 11 of those shots on goal but Phillips had a brilliant day in net saving 10 of those shots with one other saved off the line by her teammates.
"We had a lot of shots on goal in that game but since then I think we have been more precise in our finishing," said forward Selin Kuralay. "We have confidence scoring goals right now. We will try to do the same thing we did against them last time except this time hopefully we will be able to score because I think our finishing is sharper at this point of the season."
Florida State's finishing has been much sharper in the NCAA Tournament where the team has scored 10 goals in three matches. Part of the success has been due to getting off to fast starts. Eight of the team's 10 goals have come in the first half and six have come in the first 30:00 of a game.
"It will be important for us to get a goal early," said Kuralay. "Then Clemson will have to attack more and that will provide more space. An early goal will allow us to spread the play more and penetrate a little bit more."
Clemson will come into Tallahassee as the tournament's Cinderella team. They are one of just two unseeded teams still remaining in the NCAA's and the other is defending National Champion Portland. The Tigers have not won a game yet in this year's postseason recording three straight ties and advancing to the next round by winning three straight shootouts.
"Clemson's hard," said Krikorian. "They've done what they've had to do to fight their way late during the regular season into the NCAA tournament. They beat Duke and Wake, they came here and drew with us and then they get into the ACC tournament and beat Boston College. And now they've gone through three rounds of NCAA playoffs to find a way here. So I give them all the credit in the world. They've battled uphill for six or eight weeks with their backs against the wall and have found ways to get results. We're pretty sure they'll come in here ready to go and we're hoping we'll have our A-game that day."
The key to Clemson's NCAA Tournament success has been defense and Phillips. The Tigers have scored just one goal in the NCAA's and the team has scored just four times in its last seven matches but Clemson has shutout back-to-back opponents to land in the NCAA Quarterfinals for the first time since 2000.
"Clemson has done a great job keeping the ball out of their net," said Ranck. "One thing we have done very well in this tournament is create a lot of chances and finish so I think this should be a classic match-up. Hopefully we can remain consistent in our attack and find a way to score a goal against a very good team."
"Obviously Clemson has been playing well for quite some time," said Rowland. "They are limiting opponent's chances and their scoring. At the end of the day I still think we have to focus on ourselves. If we do the things we can do that makes our team so special, we will be OK and have a chance to get a result."
Even though this is Clemson's fifth trip to an NCAA Quarterfinal, there is no player on the Tiger squad that has ever played in a game of this magnitude. For the Seminoles seven players on the roster have started an NCAA Quarterfinal match and two others have started two.
"Being in the quarterfinals for the third time you know what to expect a little bit more," said Ranck. "There is more excitement for me than nervousness. Obviously this one means more now because I am a senior and it could be my final game as a Seminole. The experience is a positive though."
"I think experience is somewhat of a factor at this point of the season," said Trotter. "We have been here before, we know what is at stake and we know what it takes to advance. That is an advantage but I also know in 2003 we went to Florida in our first quarterfinal. Florida was experienced in the NCAA Tournament and we knocked them out. Experience is no guarantee."
On top of the experience factor, FSU's success this season versus familiar opponents will boost the team's confidence. After a 3-1 loss to Duke in the regular season FSU beat the Blue Devils 2-0 in the ACC Tournament. The Seminoles improved on their 3-0 win over JU from the regular season to the tune of a 6-0 win in the NCAA Tournament's opening game. The Seminoles have already eliminated two teams in Cal and Illinois that they faced in last year's NCAA's so the squad has had success in rematches this season.
"It is great to play a team you are familiar with," said Trotter. "Florida State and Clemson know one another very well. We are in a great situation as far as preparation but so are they. We will be ready to play and give them a good fight."
"It helps anytime you see a team for a second time because you are more prepared," said Rowland. "It can hurt us too. They know our personnel. They know how we like to play. Especially being an NCAA game, there will be no surprises. There is so such much at stake with the College Cup on the line. Both teams will be ready to play."
One other area where FSU will have an advantage is playing at home. Florida State is 17-0-2 in its last 19 games at the Seminole Soccer Complex. Twice already this postseason FSU fans have set and then broke an NCAA Tournament attendance record. This will be the first time the team has played on a Friday night since opening the NCAA's in front of more than 1,000 fans with a 6-0 win over Jacksonville.
"It means a lot to host this far into the tournament," said Ranck. "We have such great support here and to get to play an NCAA Quarterfinal game on the field where we have worked so hard for four years means so much."
Friday's NCAA Quarterfinal match will be broadcast live free on Internet radio at Seminoles.com. GameTracker will also be available. Tickets for the game are available on line at Seminoles.com or by calling the Seminole Athletic Ticket Office at (850) 644-1830 or 1-888-FSU-NoLE. The first 200 FSU students with a valid ID will be admitted free to the game.

The New York City Police Department is continuing to investigate a fatal accident that occurred when a city garbage truck allegedly hit and killed an elderly woman in West Brighton. The woman, 91, was crossing Clove Road when the accident occurred at 7:30 a.m. July 18.
The woman died at the scene of the accident where Clove Road intersects with Delafield Avenue on Staten Island. Neighbors said the victim walked to a deli on Clove Road every morning from the home she shared with her family a short distance away.
Clove Road was closed to traffic for four hours while police investigated the accident. The refuse collection truck is owned by the New York City Department of Sanitation. Police cited the driver for failure to yield to a pedestrian. Neighbors said the intersection has a blind spot, and drivers turning left from Delafield onto Clove cannot see pedestrians. Close also curves and goes from three lanes to two near where the accident occurred. Because of these factors, neighbors speculated this is how this accident occurred, though police have made no public statement as to how the pedestrian accident took place.
The victim's surviving family members may be eligible for a wrongful death claim as a result of this accident. The fact that police cited the truck driver may increase the family's chances for compensation. Wrongful death compensation can include burial expenses and loss of income if the victim was contributing to household expenses. If the woman did not die immediately from her injuries, the claim might include pain and suffering.
