How Much Does a Hospital Care Coordinator Make?
Care coordinators help patients transition from hospitals to home.
1 What Is the Starting Pay for an Associate Degree in Health Care Administration?
2 Health Care Administration Salary
3 Starting Salary Range for a Hospital Administrator
4 Patient Care Coordinator Pay Scale
In the simplest terms, care coordinators act as points of contact for patients and their health care teams. Sometimes known as patient navigators, these health service professionals coordinate patient care during and after hospital stays. They work on admissions, unit transfers, length-of-stay targets, after-care plans and patient care documentation, depending on the facility. By coordinating care, hospitals can reduce risk and improve outcomes of medical treatments -- or at least this is the goal.
In 2012, health services managers earned an average of $98,460 a year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The top 10 percent of earners made at least $150,560, while the bottom 10 percent earned less than $53,940 annually. But none of these figures account for role. The University of Mary explains that care coordinators earn salaries similar to those of nurses. It set the range at $45,000 to $95,000 a year as of 2010. Diploma Guide, an online career resource, set the salary at $66,000 in 2011.
The similarity in pay is likely due to current hiring trends. Employers often seek RNs to fill the role of a care coordinator, but some facilities prefer to hire candidates with a bachelor's degree in other health-related fields, such as psychology, sociology or physical therapy, or even a master's degree in social work. You'll also need two to three years of experience working with the population the facility is serving.
The largest percentage of health services managers work in hospitals, reports the BLS. If you're looking to break into care coordination, consider contacting these facilities first. Offices of physicians employed the second largest percentage of health service managers. Nursing care facilities, home health care services and outpatient care centers round out the other employers.
The BLS expects employment for health services managers to grow by 22 percent through 2020. As people live longer, demand for medical services will increase and, in turn, improve job prospects for physicians, nurses and other health care professionals, including health services managers. In this relatively large field, this growth rate translates into the creation of roughly 68,000 new jobs. Other opportunities should arise from employees retiring and leaving the field.
2016 Salary Information for Medical and Health Services Managers
Medical and health services managers earned a median annual salary of $96,540 in 2016, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. On the low end, medical and health services managers earned a 25th percentile salary of $73,710, meaning 75 percent earned more than this amount. The 75th percentile salary is $127,030, meaning 25 percent earn more. In 2016, 352,200 people were employed in the U.S. as medical and health services managers.

North American innovation is vast and expansive—impossible to even scratch the surface in just two pages. A great nation of innovators is bookended by the inventiveness of Silicon Valley and Hollywood in the West, Wall Street and Madison Avenue in the east. There are well-heeled entrepreneurs such as Chamath Palihapitiya, former VP of user growth at Facebook, who founded venture capital innovator Social Capital in 2011. The firm, an early backer of companies including Slack and Yammer, uses sophisticated data techniques to evaluate investments and coach portfolio companies on growth. There are humble inventions too. Elon Musk alone has generated more innovations than could be explained in two pages.
As digital technology penetrates the culture more deeply, we see innovations built on innovations. Hooked, for example, created a new kind of fiction by sending readers short stories via chat messages—with forced breaks that help build suspense. The app has topped Apple and Android charts and had more than 40 million downloads. Vancouver-based Slack, "making inboxes obsolete," is likewise leveraging chat. Its enterprise app lets employees chat and send files within private servers dedicated to a specific company—and it already sports more than six million daily active users and over $200 million in recurring annual revenue.
Given how much Amazon has evolved since the early days of the dot-com boom, some of its biggest users might not know that it started as a humble online bookstore. Since then, Amazon has devised new ways of working with creators and other vendors, and its Amazon Web Services, initially created for internal purposes, has leveraged to a provide outside vendors a "storefront" on its platform—for a fee, of course. It's now a $13 billion e-commerce infrastructure business.
The company continues to outflank competitors. While companies such as Sears—an innovator of home delivery and catalog retailing it its day—fade into obscurity, Amazon Prime boasts 40 million to 50 million users in the US alone.
If that weren't enough, the company that revolutionized online retail is now changing the brick-and-mortar operations with Amazon Go. In this new retail experiment, shoppers swipe a code on their phone on their way into the store, take what they like, and pay for it automatically through existing accounts on their way out. Cashiers, lines and registers are gone thanks to voice control, machine learning, cloud computing and Amazon's logistics.
There are certainly similarities between Amazon and other innovators. Consumers want flexibility, convenience, ease-of-use, data connections to clients and even connections to third-party providers, and that's driving companies to adapt. Consumer considerations are also driving some of Bank of America Merrill Lynch's innovations. The bank's Global Transaction Team, for example, has looked at five innovations that are changing relationships with third parties, for example.
And, of course, much like Amazon and others, BofAML is using artificial intelligence (AI) and incorporating it as part of its customer solutions. A product known as Intelligent Receivables is helping clients reconcile multiple payment channels. By combining AI, machine learning and optical character recognition, clients can improve straight-through reconciliation of incoming payments and post receivables significantly faster than before. Three other innovations from BofAML include an Application Program Interface (API) Gateway, Global Digital Disbursements and Virtual Payables.
Whether the technology is around blockchain, enhanced customer experiences or cybersecurity, the financial sector is trending toward faster, smarter and better systems that use AI and machine learning as the starting point. This is becoming the new normal for all sectors, not just financial services.
North America, it would seem, is at a bit of a crossroads in terms of the innovation game. Large companies are thriving, such as Amazon and BofAML, while others are just getting started. Innovation is no longer exclusive to Silicon Valley or other North American tech hubs. Israel, China and India are producing huge, innovative companies of their own in record time. Competition and the fight for capital will only increase over time.


I attended the VIADA Board meeting in January at the Crown Plaza in Richmond. Gail Davis of www.DavisAutoSales.com, Chairman of the Board for the Professional Development Committee, asked me to work with Howard Kershaw of K's Auto Center in Hampton, VA on an idea he has for increasing awareness of both VIADA and its websites.
Howard's plan involves attracting more car buyers to www.VAUsedCarDealers.com, (VUCD), accomplishing two things. First, it would obviously make VIADA more recognizable to the car buying public by being "introduced" to the buyer during the shopping process. Second, it would increase the benefit level of VUCD, a Member benefit exclusive to VIADA members.
During my Board presentation, I remarked on how this website puts the Association in a position similar to what an auction would find themselves in. When an auction opens, their main focus might be to attract wholesalers and build up the number of sellers. However, they cannot focus on only one side. They may have all the cars in the world to sell but if there aren't any buyers in the lane, nothing is gained. A successful auction has to attract a quality group of both buyers and sellers in order to succeed. VUCD is much the same because while Mr. Kershaw's plan is focused on attracting the buyers, it is still necessary to attract more of those sellers out there, and that means YOU!
All VIADA members get a free listing from the Find a Dealer page on the site. This is where car buyers search for VIADA dealers by zip code. This page alone was accessed almost 8,000 times in 2007 displaying a member's contact information, including web and email address links if VIADA has them on file, over 60,000 times. For those members who sign up for the association's Internet Advertising package, the benefits get even better. For only $35 a month (to avoid monthly credit card charges a member may pay for 5 months and get the sixth month free) each member can list their inventory on VUCD gaining additional exposure from the site's most visited part, those pages allowing the car shoppers to search our inventory listings. For $3 more a month you can bold your listings and $2 a month you can highlight them in a color of your choice. This is done to make your links and listings stand out.
Also available to VIADA members participating in VUCD is access to the Wholesale Listings page. These members can log in to VUCD with their user name and password and click on wholesale listings to get hundreds of cars for sale by other VIADA members. Members can list their own listings on this page with wholesale prices. We have many members taking advantage of this benefit today.
Also included in this "ridiculously low cost" (quote from Mike at Mike Duman Auto Sales in Suffolk, VA) is the data feed service, exclusively for VUCD participating dealers. We have consolidated all the work involved with managing inventory listings and photos at multiple online advertisers in to one site. Meaning, once you get your inventory on VUCD, that site will then broadcast your listings and photos to over 70 other online advertisers you may be doing business with now. For instance, a typical dealer today has a website of their own as well as an advertising campaign with Cars.com and/or AutoExtra.com. This means the dealer has to get the inventory listed on all three sites. In the past, you would have to log into your site, update your inventory and log out. Then you would have to do the same thing at the Cars.com site and every other site on which you advertise. Not only was this time consuming but also made it harder to keep your advertising consistent. You might put one price on your site and unknowingly put a different price, or even a different description on a third party site. This did not go unnoticed to the savvy Internet shopper and it may have unknowingly brought your credibility into question. Many members now have their listings sent to all their online advertisers automatically, every day, saving time and money. We send data every day to over 70 other website advertisers. There are even a handful of third party sites that will advertise your listings on their site for free.
If you already have a company providing this service, great! VUCD has made connections with all of these companies like Dealer Specialties, Cherry Auto and others. These companies will come out to gather all the vehicle data and photos and get them online for you. If you are a dealer using one of these companies, you can request for them to send your inventory to VIADA's website and get your listings online today.
I am going to let Mr. Kershaw and Chairman Davis work on attracting more buyers. When they succeed, they further promote VIADA and its values to the car buying public. Added public awareness about VIADA equates to added value in being a member. In an effort to show off what the site can do for you, here are some average returns for the dealers participating in www.VAUsedCarDealers.com. These stats are an example of a typical VIADA member advertising on VUCD during the month of December 2007.
The average dealership had 42 cars in stock. Those listings were displayed in search results a total of 5,250 times in December and clicked on (meaning your listing was chosen out of all similar listings) almost 1,300 times. The dealer had 20 people click to see an entire listing of only this dealership's inventory and 85 times someone clicked on the link leading to this dealership's very own website, leaving all the competitors' listings behind. Thirty times that month a shopper clicked on an email link or asked for the dealership's contact information.
All this exposure to your inventory, along with access to the wholesale listings and the ability to get your inventory updated at all the third party sites you advertise with, all for only $35 a month AND it is exclusively to only VIADA members. It is a Win, Win, Win situation. The shopper wins by gaining more knowledge about our association and added comfort in making an informed decision. The participating member wins with affordable Internet exposure and inventory management tools available to them at VUCD. The association wins a number of ways. First, we have already had dealers sign up to be VIADA members in order to utilize VUCD. This added member benefit would continue to attract and retain members. Second, a portion of the revenues from this service is returned to the association allowing them to better service their member base.
If I said I could better display your vehicles, ten of thousands of times this year resulting in thousands of leads back to your very own site and hopefully resulting in added sales all for less than a dollar a day, the only reason you would not sign up is if you are already selling too many cars. For those of you not already utilizing this member benefit, call JTZ Enterprise or VIADA today. All first time participating members get one month free. Once you see the results, you will join the almost 10% of the VIADA members already benefiting from www.VAUsedCarDealers.com.

Dr. Dina Navon
E-Mail: dina.navon.3@gmail.com
Dr. Dina Navon earned her doctorate from the University of Massachusetts Amherst studying the evolution of plasticity in African cichlid fishes. Her research interests focus on the ways that various interactions build on one another to produce the stunning array of diversity we see in nature. She is extremely passionate about science communication, outreach, and teaching, having written for several blogs during her tenure at UMass and having taught a graduate-level seminar in science communication for two years.
Dina is currently investigating questions about the genetic architecture of biomechanics in marine and freshwater three-spined stickleback at the BMSC. Her research includes assessing feeding behaviours in juvenile and adult fish using high-speed video. She is co-supervised by Drs. Sean Rogers and Tim Higham, and her fish have completely taken over the lab in the Fluids building at BMSC!
As a biologist with ecological and evolutionary interests that stretch back to a childhood spent on the Massachusetts shore, Dina's research focuses on how biodiversity is generated. More specifically, she wants to know how complex suites of behaviour evolve as a result of interactions between genes and the environment, and between the different systems in an organism. To address these questions, multitudes of three-spined sticklebacks have taken over the Fluid Dynamics Lab at BMSC.
Swimming and eating are indisputably essential behaviours, and a precise coordination between them is required for survival. But how can such complex behaviours evolve together, and what genes are controlling them? Using a high-speed camera to capture the feeding behaviour of marine and freshwater stickleback populations, as well as their hybrid offspring, Dina is able to associate genes with behaviours to answer whether these behaviours, and the coordination between them, are evolving when populations invade novel habitats. And if they do, her methods will help tease apart their genetic underpinnings.
Dina has also been evaluating behavioural plasticity in these sticklebacks; asking, do fish from different populations change their behaviour when presented with new types of food? The answer seems to be: sometimes. One population in particular stands out with dramatic results – the fish from Sarita Falls. While Bamfielders know Sarita as a beautiful place to picnic and swim, Dina tells us life isn't so easy there for a fish. "There aren't a lot of hiding places, there aren't a lot of great food sources…it's a really challenging environment." This preliminary finding aligns well with predictions that plasticity should be seen more in these challenging environments. "They say that it's more exciting when things don't work out, because then you have to figure out why, but…it's also reassuring when sometimes things just make sense."
Eager to hear updates on this research? Follow Dina on Twitter @evodevoDina for more on her work, and lively chatter on all things evo/devo and sci-comm.

Whether you have ever meditated or not, you should try the "mind watch." It is very simple. You don't really have to do anything. Actually, that is the hard part.
The idea is to get comfortable, either sitting or lying down, close your eyes, and observe what happens. The tendency may be to try out all those things you've heard about meditating like trying to empty the mind or focusing on the breath. But that is not the idea--way too much interference! You would be trying to control what happens and, as a consequence, working at it much too hard. You really are to do nothing except observe.
First time out, you should set aside about 10 minutes for the exercise. When you are finished, write out what you observed. Feel free to enter your observations as a post or a comment.


While the Airstream was in Vermont with my contractors, it was important to me that I get the most out of my construction schedule. To do that, I'd made a list of tasks I could do from home that didn't require my having the trailer with me and made preparations in advance. As I shared in a recent post, one of the things I was able to do on my own was repair and refinish the interior cabinet woodwork. Another was stripping and re-painting the Hensley Arrow anti-sway hitch I'd purchased on Craigslist about a year ago.
Hensley Arrow sway-control hitch in the condition I had purchased it from a previous owner. Notice areas where paint has chipped and rust has started to develop.
If you don't already know, sway control hitches (or weight distribution hitches) are necessary for many because they prevent the trailer and tow vehicle from veering out of control in the event of high winds or other circumstances. The Hensley seems very durable and is a unique system that I thought I'd try.
Back at the shop, I used a green product to strip off the old paint, that I'd learned about from one of my construction jobs for an old client. The painters had used something called Smart Strip paint remover. It's billed as "safe & effective, earth friendly, [using] environmentally responsible ingredients," and I liked the results it produced for my client, so I thought I'd give it a try.
After a few hours, the old paint began to bubble and peel, but I let it sit for a full day before scraping it off. It became clear that the hitch had been repainted once before, because underneath the first layer was an older layer of paint of the same color. I worked on one side of the hitch, then flipped it over to do the other. To do two passes with the paint stripper, that meant at least 4 days of work to strip.
In the meantime, I called Hensley and ordered replacement stickers. Because I had a new owner's warranty, most of the stickers were free, but one that has my serial number cost me an extra 6 bucks.
Once I'd removed the paint, it exposed rusted areas that needed attention as well. As this is a eco-friendly project, normally I'd be researching "green" rust dissolvers (if such a thing exists), but I had an old bottle of Naval Jelly in my basement and figured I'd might as well use that.
Hitch with spray automotive primer.
…and here's the final result!
Time: I spent roughly an hour or two a day over 15 days, mainly due to curing / drying times.
…and lastly, I bring the trailer to an RV shop to assess the status of the refrigerator.
but that is the word that came to mind. Looks brand new.
The manufacturer told me over the phone that my hitch was one of the earliest of this model to be produced – about 20 years old.
It looks great! You are doing an awesome job! Can't wait to see the rest!


Contship Italia Group, Italy's leading container terminal and intermodal service provider, is set to embark on another profile-raising series of meetings in its key Asian markets.
The Group will be represented by its senior managers involved in meetings in Asia from 22 – 30 October 2018. The Contship Italia delegation will visit Beijing, followed by Tianjin, Qingdao, Ningbo, Hong Kong, concluding with an industry gathering in Singapore.
La Spezia Container Terminal, Contship Italia's premier gateway port is called at by all the major Lines and Alliances, with four Asia-Mediterranean services every week, reflecting the strong trade between Asia and Italy as both import and export volumes remain robust.
He added: "This is our fourth round of meetings in Asia and I am very pleased at the many positive comments and responses from our Asian partners and customers about the growth of La Spezia Container Terminal as an alternative gateway to southern Europe, that Asian shippers are now benefitting from in terms of time and cost saving. The Contship Italia Group is committed to continue providing an effective customisable and integrated one-stop solution for the logistics supply-chain".
More than a hundred leading logistics, forwarding, shipper and cargo owning companies have been invited to attend the round of meetings held by Contship Italia later this month.
The Group's message to Asian logistics providers is consistent and highlights the economic and business benefit of the southern gateway alternative to access the most important markets in south and central Europe. Asian based cargo owners and freight forwarders can benefit from getting their cargo delivered to Italy and central Europe, via La Spezia Container Terminal, with shorter transit-times, lower inventory cost through better risk-management within their supply-chain.
Events and one-to-one business meetings with partners and customers will take place by invitation only.

Jubilation at Emirates stadium as England star signs huge deal with Arsenal
January 11, 2021 3 min read admin
– Rob Holding's recent form has earned him a new long term deal at the Emirates
– The 25-year-old nearly left Arsenal last August on loan to Newcastle United
– The England international suffered a terrible ankle injury in 2018 that kept him out for nine months
Rob Holding has penned a new long-term deal with Arsenal after he almost left the Emirates last summer, Daily Mail reports.
The England defender has been outstanding for the Gunners in recent times and has made 18 appearances for the club in all competitions this season.
The 25-year-old joined Arsenal from Bolton in 2016 and has struggled to hit top form following his knee injury in 2018 after spending nine months on the sidelines.
Rob Holding signs new deal, commits long term future to club.

Lionel Messi finally tells former teammate Neymar the club he will join this summer
Holding was set for a loan deal to Newcastle last August but was put on hold by Mikel Arteta and the Englishman has made his selection count so far.
His deal at the Emirates was set to expire in 2023 but helped the Gunners win their 14th FA Cup trophy last season.
The summer arrivals of Gabriel and Pablo Mari did not threaten his position after he made a U-turn in fighting for his place at the center-back position.
Arteta heaped praises on the defender for his recent form of late saying:
"It was almost a year ago when he came back from his injury. He had a period when he did not play.
"When you compare how he has evolved from there to now, in a year's time, it is incredible.
"It is down to him, how professional he is, how much he wants to learn, how much he puts into every training session and then his character and his personality."
Jubilation as Arsenal complete first signing of the new year as top defender joins club

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had earlier reported that Arsene Wenger has revealed that Sol Campbell was booed in training by his teammates to help him prepare for the north London derby against Tottenham.
The center-back started his career with Spurs and spent nine years at White Hart Lane before joining London rivals Arsenal in 2001.
Wenger did not make his bid for the former England defender public due to the negative reactions the player was likely to face from rival fans.

Q: Symfony 3.4 the folder where web assets is set In symfony 2.*
I put /images or /js under each bundle Resources folder, then
php bin/console assets:install web
it deploys the js and images to web/public
Now in Symfony 3.4
All *.html.twig files are under /app/Resources/view folder.
So,I put assets files next to it like /app/Resource/public/js /app/Resource/public/images and so on.
Is it correct?? and how can I deploy these files to web directly??
related article is here
I have read this page but can't find the answer.

A: You can simply put them in the public directory.
The project-bundles no longer exist in the Symfony 4.
Also you are no longer required to use the assets:install command using the new structure.
For example :
public/
   img/
      header.jpg

You can then reference this asset using the asset twig function as follows:
{{ asset('img/header.jpg') }}

A: I understand that you are using Symfony 3.4 (which is the old lts version).
As stated in your article :

Store your assets in the web/ directory.

which is different with the version 4.0, where the assets would go to the /public directory.
When you put your assets in the /web directory, you can of course access them with the {{ asset()}} function. (for instance {{ asset('img/my-picture.jpg') }})
Hope it helped.

I'll give the same argument here that I gave during a guest lecture by Ashish Wadhwani, Partner at IvyCap Ventures, in our Corporate Strategy class on 16-Nov-12.
Wi-Fi [including hotspots and tethering] is a temporary solution to the core problem of having a pervasive, low-cost, high-speed, always-available wireless network. Sooner or later, the world will have such networks, and these will most likely be provided by telecom service providers. Just like today we have nearly-universal, always-available, highly-reliable, and low-cost wireless networks for phone calls and SMSes [particularly in developed countries], we will eventually have networks with these desirable attributes for wireless data needs too.
Think about diesel- or kerosene-powered domestic power generators, widely used in homes in India. Why do people install these generators at their homes? It's because the electricity supply in India isn't reliable. Power outages are common and frequent, often unpredictably. Hence people purchase and install their own power generators to compensate for the lack of pervasive, nonstop, reliable power supply. Do people in Singapore also own and use domestic power generators? No, because the power supply there is clean, nonstop and overall reliable.
And sooner or later, this will be the case with India too. India will eventually have a power supply that will be clean, nonstop and overall reliable. You can bet that Indians will then stop feeling the need of having their own generators, and hence will stop buying them. A domestic power generator is a temporary solution to a bigger problem.
You can begin to see the parallels. For similar reasons, as wireless networks keep improving in every dimension, the stopgap solution that Wi-Fi fundamentally is will be needed less and less, as people will increasingly rely on seamless wireless networks provided by telecom companies. So instead of localized pockets of high-speed wireless provided by conversion of wireline broadband into Wi-Fi, there will be all-encompassing wireless networks. Whether 4G does this or 5G or 6G is not the question. The real issue is that this change will happen in the next couple of years.

3 University Of Delaware Students Robbed Of Their Cell Phones At Gunpoint
Filed Under:Cell Phone, Delaware, Newark, Robbery, Student, University of Delaware
(credit: CBS3)
By Todd Quinones
NEWARK, Del., (CBS) — Police in Newark are investigating after three University of Delaware students were robbed of their cell phones by a man armed with a gun.
READ MORE: Jersey Shore Residents Bracing For 12 Or More Inches Of Snow: 'I Hope We Don't Lose Power'
It's a scary scenario for students CBS 3 Eyewitness News talked to.
CBS 3 found several students walking and talking on their cell phones at the same spots where the robberies occurred, even after the University of Delaware sent out emails to students warning them.
Both armed robberies happened just off campus.
Sophomore Victoria Long was home when she received the alerts.
"It was a little nerve-racking and my parents were there when I received the alert. My dad was a little nervous about sending me back," she said.
A gunman approached two students from behind on South College Avenue near Winslow Road 7:30 p.m. Saturday.
He showed them a gun, forced the students to hand over their cell phones and he took off.
Then on Sunday at 2:30 p.m. on Tyre Avenue near Main Street, a third student was robbed in a similar fashion.

Non-students are also worried.
"Somebody is robbing people at gunpoint, and I'm just like OK wow, what am I supposed to do now," Marcus Cassidy said.
A check of the numbers of the most recent statistics available, between 2010 and 2012, there were 10 robberies on campus and five robberies just off campus.
Students says the university regularly alerts them to crimes.
"We get the UD alerts which are great, but we never get a follow up, if they caught anybody or any suspects or anything like that," student Alex Wolf said.
The descriptions of the suspects are similar. Both are described as a black male with a large or muscular build about 5' 9" tall and between 25 – 30 years old. One suspect is described as having a goatee, the other with a full beard. It's not clear if it may be the same suspect involved in all of the robberies.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Newark Police.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) –- Philadelphia Police say the suspect who violently attacked a 75-year-old man in a gas station, robbed an 18-year-old female one hour later on the 2000 block of N. Broad Street.
When police released the surveillance video of the man beating and robbing the 75-year-old victim, a Central Detective recognized the suspect in the video as the defendant in the robbery on the 2000 block of N. Broad Street.
The suspect, Joseph Smith, was already in custody from the attack on the female.
Smith will be charged in the beating and robbery of the 75-year-old man.
The video shows the 75-year-old victim standing at a counter purchasing lottery tickets. Out of nowhere, the suspect sucker-punches the victim in the right side of his head, causing him to fall to the ground.
While on the floor, the suspect continued to punch and kick the victim in his head and body.
The suspect stole the victim's lottery tickets and $40 in cash and then ran out of the store.
Both incidents occurred on September 18th.

Author Interview (#4): Sarah Beth Durst on Conjured
Posted on October 10, 2013 September 26, 2014 by missprint
Sarah Beth Durst is here today to talk about her latest novel Conjured and answer some questions about it. A spooky story including a magical serial killer and visions of a creepy carnival, this is an ideal read as you get ready for Halloween. Complexly written and patently suspenseful this one is a definite page-turner!
Miss Print (MP): What was the inspiration for Conjured?
Sarah Beth Durst (SBD): Sometimes ideas come as lightning strikes. But sometimes ideas sneak up on you when you're paying attention to something else. In the case of CONJURED, I was working on a story about federal marshals who worked for the paranormal witness protection program. As I was developing their case, the witness herself, Eve, a girl with no memories and tons of bizarre powers, drew more and more of my attention. The instant she made the birds in her wallpaper fly around her room, I knew the story had to be hers.
MP: Eve is a really interesting character because she knows almost nothing about herself at the start of the story. She is in danger, she has strange dreams, she can do some magic. How did you go about writing a story about a character with no clear picture of her past?
SBD: Eve is a true blank slate character. She has basically no identity. At the start of the novel, Eve is basically a camera, recording what she sees but not knowing how to process it. Eventually, all this input fills Eve and gives her some basis to build her own identity.
In order to compensate for Eve's lack of self, I tried to paint a really vivid world around her, filled with vivid secondary characters, to ground the reader in the present while Eve gropes for some solid ground of her own.
MP: Eve also suffers from blackouts and memory loss during the story leaving her not only without a past but also often losing time. What was it like writing about a character who is (through no fault of her own) such an unreliable narrator?
SBD: The entire story is told through Eve's eyes. The reader knows no more and no less than Eve does — and that info isn't necessarily correct. All the other characters have far more information, including memories of interactions with Eve.
The trick to writing this was to work chronologically. If I tried to hop around, it was too easy to accidentally drop info too early or mess up the gradual evolution of her identity. Working chronologically helped me pace her development. From a sheer technical standpoint, I also tried to keep careful track of who-knows-what-when and what happened during the time that Eve's forgotten. I used up a LOT of Post-It notes. :)
MP: Throughout the novel Eve has visions of a creepy carnival complete with a Magician and Storyteller. Was Eve's carnival inspired by any actual places or experiences?
SBD: I think there's something inherently surreal about carnivals — the sounds, the smells, the colors, the everything is all this heightened experience that can feel almost dreamlike. I did do a whole lot of Google searches for creepy and abandoned carnivals. And now I don't think I'll ever be able to go to one without thinking of the Magician and the Storyteller…
MP: At its core Conjured is a story of suspense and even a thriller. Although there aren't (many) high-speed chases or shootouts, the story is taut. How did you go about maintaining this level of tension throughout?
SBD: Thanks! I obsessed over the atmosphere in this book. I wanted to create a feeling of claustrophobic disorientation that Eve feels so that the reader goes through this experience with her. So I kept the POV very tight on Eve and kept ratcheting up her level of inner chaos. As soon as she begins to figure out her present, her past intrudes to rip the ground out from under her.
MP: You use the writing in Conjured to tell readers a lot about Eve and how she is changing throughout the story. Did you always plan to include these changes in perspective and tense when you started writing? How did those changes impact your writing process?
SBD: I broke a lot of writing rules in order to tell Eve's story through her eyes. This was one of the major ones. For Eve's visions, I shifted from past tense, third POV to present tense, first POV to create a feeling of disorientation. The visions feel timeless to Eve, and I wanted them to feel the same way to the reader — unbalanced and disorienting.
And I choose to shift perspective when Eve achieves agency. I actually planned this early in the writing process, though I changed around the moment of the shift — it had to be a moment that was both meaningful and subtle. I knew it was an unusual choice, but I felt (and feel) strongly that it reflected the true shift inside of Eve.
MP: What can you tell us about your next book?
SBD: I am working on two projects right now: THE LOST and MIND OVER MAGIC. THE LOST is my first novel for adults. It's the first in a trilogy, and it will be coming out from Harlequin/Mira in June 2014. MIND OVER MAGIC is my next YA novel, and it will be coming out from Bloomsbury/Walker in fall 2014. I'm really, really excited about both of them!
Thanks so much for interviewing me!

Developers who created the game Rules of War: Nuclear strategy, decided to use the same system that I use games such as Travian, simply moving it from the medieval setting into space. In the War Rules, we also begin to develop from a small town, after which we build a resource mine in it and gradually bring it to a level where it is already possible to pay attention to the army and seize neighbors. Standard buildings here are replaced with space analogs, such as turrets or towers, and conventional units such as cavalry or spearmen – for tanks and space ships.
The online game Rules of War invites us to develop our character for as many as 150 levels, which can be obtained by performing all sorts of tasks or during the war with the players. To ensure maximum effectiveness of extermination of self-similar authors, they decided to use a system of alliances, as a result of which clashes between some such alliances become really large-scale.

Multiplatform love at the End of Eternity?
By Russ | May 13, 2009 at 11:31 pm
Sega and tri-Ace embark on an adventure of their own with the title End of Eternity.
After Infinite Undiscovery and Star Ocean: The Last Hope gave 360 owners a slight edge in RPGs, both next-gen consoles will feel a bit more flattered with tri-Ace's most recent title in development. Publisher Sega unveiled a trailer showing what appears to a mix of Prohibition, Fritz Lang's Metropolis, Bullet Time and a Floating Island. You can see a trailer for the game here.
End of Eternity currently has no release date nor any relation to Asimov's novel of the same title, but will be available on the 360 and PS3 platforms.

Appellate Case: 11-5154 Document: 01018941311 Date Filed: 10/30/2012 Page: 2 Congress enacted 7 U.S.C. § 1926(b) as part of a federal statutory scheme to extend loans and grants to certain associations providing water service to farmers, ranchers, and other rural residents. Section 1926(b) prohibits other water utilities from encroaching upon services provided by federally indebted water associations. Plaintiff, Rural Water District No. 2 Creek County, Oklahoma, a rural water provider covered by § 1926(b), and Defendant Glenpool Utility Services Authority, a public trust created to provide water service, and its beneficiary, Defendant City of Glenpool, entered into a Settlement Agreement under which Plaintiff agreed not to file a civil action pursuant to § 1926(b) during the term of the agreement unless Defendants defaulted on their contractual obligations. Subsequently, Plaintiff filed the present civil action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 alleging Defendants violated § 1926(b). The district court dismissed the action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Our jurisdiction arises under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and our review is de June v. Union Carbide Corp., 577 F.3d 1234, 1238 (10th Cir. 2009). On novo. appeal, we must determine whether Plaintiff's agreement not to file a civil action against Defendants, absent default, deprives us of subject matter jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1331, where a state court has not yet determined whether Defendants defaulted. 1 We hold such agreement does not deprive us of subject matter 1 A motion to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(1) may take one of two forms. A facial attack "looks only to the factual allegations of the complaint in challenging the court's jurisdiction." (continued...) 2 Appellate Case: 11-5154 Document: 01018941311 Date Filed: 10/30/2012 Page: 3 jurisdiction. Accordingly, we reverse and remand. I. Our story begins nearly a half century ago in Creek County, Oklahoma. In 1964, the county commissioners incorporated Plaintiff to provide water service. The Farmers Home Administration (FmHA) thereafter loaned Plaintiff the funds to construct a rural water system. Three years later, Plaintiff annexed additional territory in two counties, including an area later known as Eden South. In 1983, Defendant City of Glenpool annexed new areas into its city limits, including the area of Eden South. Defendants filed the first lawsuit in this saga a year later, requesting a declaratory judgment that Defendants enjoyed the exclusive right to furnish water to Eden South. Plaintiff counterclaimed, also seeking a declaratory judgment that it possessed the exclusive right to furnish water to Eden South. The district court held that neither party had an exclusive right to furnish water to Eden South. Both 1 (...continued) Muscogee (Creek) Nation v. Okla. Tax Comm'n., 611 F.3d 1222, 1227 n.1 (10th Cir. 2010). A factual attack, on the other hand, "goes beyond the factual allegations of the complaint and presents evidence in the form of affidavits or otherwise to challenge the court's jurisdiction." Id. Plaintiff contends Defendants presented a facial attack. But Defendants did not attack the sufficiency of the amended complaint. Rather, Defendants claimed the terms of the Settlement Agreement deprived the district court of jurisdiction. In a case such as this, where the court is presented with a factual attack on the complaint, "a district court may not presume the truthfulness of the complaint's factual allegations." Holt v. United States, 46 F.3d 1000, 1003 (10th Cir. 1995). Instead, "[a] court has wide discretion to allow affidavits, other documents, and a limited evidentiary hearing to resolve disputed jurisdictional facts under Rule 12(b)(1)." Id. 3 Appellate Case: 11-5154 Document: 01018941311 Date Filed: 10/30/2012 Page: 4 parties appealed. We reversed in part and remanded. Glenpool Util. Servs. Auth. v. Creek Cnty. Rural Water Dist. No. 2, 861 F.2d 1211 (10th Cir. 1988). We held 7 U.S.C. § 1926(b) precluded Defendants from curtailing Plaintiff's service in Eden South. Id. at 1217. Consistent with our mandate, the district court on remand entered judgment for Plaintiff and enjoined Defendants from curtailing Plaintiff's service area. That judgment, however, did not end the parties' differences. On remand, Plaintiff requested the district court impose a constructive trust on the water lines Defendants constructed to the subject property and award damages in the amount of the water tap fees Defendants collected. The district court denied this relief and declared that Defendants remained the owners of all water lines and easements relating to the subject property. Plaintiff again appealed. This time we affirmed the district court, holding Defendants' acts were not sufficiently wrongful to require them to transfer ownership of the water lines to Plaintiff. Glenpool Util. Serv. Auth. v. Creek Cnty. Rural Water Dist. No. 2, 1992 WL 37327, *4 (10th Cir. 1992) (unpublished). We did, however, note that our decision left the parties in an unusual position. Plaintiff had the exclusive right to provide water service to Eden South, but it did not own the water lines in place. We stated, "Surely there is incentive for these two nonprofit public bodies to work out a solution that would not require the District to build duplicate lines." Id. The parties did arrive at such a solution. On March 2, 1992, Plaintiff and 4 Appellate Case: 11-5154 Document: 01018941311 Date Filed: 10/30/2012 Page: 5 Defendants entered into a Settlement Agreement. Defendants agreed to make certain payments to Plaintiff during a 20-year term. In return, Plaintiff granted Defendants permission to provide water service within the "area of agreement." Plaintiff further agreed it would not claim any § 1926(b) exclusive right to provide water service in the "area of agreement" during the period of the Settlement Agreement except in the case of Defendants' default. If Defendants failed or refused to pay or perform, and the failure or refusal was not cured within 30 days, Defendants then owed Plaintiff a remedy, which might include specific performance, injunctive relief, monetary damages, termination of the agreement, receipt of water lines, and/or reinstatement of full rights of exclusivity. Plaintiff exercised its right to request an audit of Defendants' records. Plaintiff then sent Defendants a notice of default, contending Defendants failed to provide a proper accounting and failed to make appropriate payments in conformity with the Settlement Agreement. Plaintiff next filed this lawsuit asserting its right to be the exclusive water service provider, as granted it by virtue of § 1926(b). In its amended complaint, Plaintiff alleges Defendants are selling water within its geographical boundaries, a portion of which coincides with the "area of agreement." Defendants filed a motion to dismiss pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(1) for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. In their motion, Defendants argued the district court lacked subject matter jurisdiction for two reasons. First, Defendants contended the Settlement Agreement was "insufficient by itself to convey federal jurisdiction." 5 Appellate Case: 11-5154 Document: 01018941311 Date Filed: 10/30/2012 Page: 6 Alternatively, Defendants asserted Plaintiff's § 1926(b) claim was not yet ripe. The district court granted the motion to dismiss without an opinion. II. Defendants admitted at oral argument that Plaintiff alleged a violation of its rights under § 1926(b). Regardless, Defendants believe the district court correctly dismissed the action based on a provision of the Settlement Agreement. The agreement provides that, in the absence of default over the term of the agreement, Plaintiff agrees that it will not make a claim of exclusivity as to the "area of agreement." Defendants contend the state law question of whether a default or breach of contract occurred must be decided before Plaintiff's federal claim may proceed. Plaintiff, on the other hand, contends the district court erred because Defendants in truth simply raised the terms of the Settlement Agreement as an affirmative defense, rather than as a bar to federal court jurisdiction. "Federal courts are courts of limited jurisdiction; they must have a statutory basis for their jurisdiction." Morris v. City of Hobart, 39 F.3d 1105, 1111 (10th Cir. 1994). In this case, that statutory basis is § 1926(b). Defendants correctly argue that enforcement of the Settlement Agreement is a matter for a state court, unless some independent basis for federal jurisdiction exists. Kokkonen v. Guardian Life Ins. Co., 511 U.S. 375, 382 (1994). But Plaintiff's amended complaint alleges a violation of a statutory right—much more than a mere state law breach of contract claim. Plaintiff and Defendants agreed at oral argument that Plaintiff's amended complaint 6 Appellate Case: 11-5154 Document: 01018941311 Date Filed: 10/30/2012 Page: 7 alleges the elements of a § 1926(b) claim. Specifically, Plaintiff alleged in its amended complaint that (1) it is indebted to the United States Department of Agriculture and (2) it has provided or made service available. Rural Water Sewer & Solid Waste Mgmt. Dist. No. 1, Logan Cnty., Okla. v. City of Guthrie, 654 F.3d 1058, 1062 (10th Cir. 2011). Plaintiff also alleges Defendants have limited or curtailed that service. Despite Plaintiff alleging the elements of a statutory cause of action, Defendants contend that the Settlement Agreement bars this lawsuit until a state court has litigated the issue of breach of the Settlement Agreement. Defendants' assertion does not relate to our subject matter jurisdiction, but instead relates to an affirmative defense to Plaintiff's § 1926(b) claim. Indeed, Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8(c) lists a "release" as an affirmative defense to a lawsuit. And "[a] defense, however valid, does not oust the district court of subject matter jurisdiction." S. New England Tel. Co. v. Global NAPs Inc., 624 F.3d 123, 132 (2d Cir. 2010). The explanation is simple enough: "once the court's jurisdiction has been properly invoked in the plaintiff's complaint, the assertion of such a defense is relevant only to whether the plaintiff can make out a successful claim for relief, and not to whether the court has original jurisdiction over the claim itself." Id., see also Onischuk v. Johnson Controls, Inc., 182 F. App'x. 532, 533 (7th Cir. 2006) (unpublished) (concluding that although legal issues involving formation, construction, and enforcement of settlement agreements are matters of state law, the validity of a prior settlement does not affect a federal court's jurisdiction). Because 7 Appellate Case: 11-5154 Document: 01018941311 Date Filed: 10/30/2012 Page: 8 Plaintiff has alleged Defendants violated its rights pursuant to § 1926(b), the district court had subject matter jurisdiction over the lawsuit. We emphasize our decision does not reach the merits of the parties' dispute. Defendants may raise the relevant provision of the Settlement Agreement as an affirmative defense to Plaintiff's federal claim. III. For much the same reasons, Defendants' claim of ripeness also fails. Defendants contend Plaintiff's federal claim is not ripe because Plaintiff cannot assert that federal claim until a state court adjudicates the breach of settlement agreement claim. Defendants posit the adjudication of the § 1926(b) claim, without first allowing a state court determination of the existence of a breach of the Settlement Agreement, amounts to a "premature adjudication" and "abstract disagreement" that we should avoid. "The ripeness doctrine aims to prevent the courts, through avoidance of premature adjudication, from entangling themselves in abstract disagreements." Tarrant Reg'l Water Dist. v. Herrmann, 656 F.3d 1222, 1249 (10th Cir. 2011) (internal quotation marks omitted). "[I]n determining whether a claim is ripe, a court must look at (1) the fitness of the issue for judicial resolution and (2) the hardship to the parties of withholding judicial consideration. Id. "A case meets the first prong if it does not involve uncertain or contingent events that may not occur at all (or may not occur as anticipated)." Chavez ex rel M.C. v. N.M. Pub. Educ. Dep't, 8 Appellate Case: 11-5154 Document: 01018941311 Date Filed: 10/30/2012 Page: 9 621 F.3d 1275, 1281 (10th Cir. 2010). "The second prong addresses whether the challenged action is a direct and immediate dilemma for the parties." Id. (internal quotation marks omitted). In their motion to dismiss, Defendants relied primarily on two cases to support their view. First, they cited our decision in Salt Lake Tribune Publishing Co., LLC v. Management Planning, Inc., 454 F.3d 1128 (10th Cir. 2006), for the proposition that the ripeness doctrine applies in contract claims where a particular claim is contingent upon facts that have not been developed, or events that have not yet occurred. In that case, we determined that a plaintiff's claim for damages from an allegedly inflated purchase price was not yet ripe because the claim depended upon two contingent events. Importantly, the plaintiff had not yet paid the allegedly inflated price. Likewise, in this case, Defendants believe the § 1926(b) claim is not ripe because a contingent event exists—a state court must determine whether Defendants violated the Settlement Agreement. This argument, reminiscent of their first argument, must fail. Plaintiff's § 1926(b) claim is ripe. As mentioned above, Plaintiff alleged (1) a continuing indebtedness on loans obtained from the USDA and (2) Plaintiff has provided or made service available. Moreover, Plaintiff alleges Defendants have limited or curtailed that service. Each of these allegations has allegedly occurred. A prior state judicial determination of default of the Settlement Agreement is not an element of a § 1926(b) claim. Whether Plaintiff may properly bring the lawsuit because of a prior release is not a jurisdictional bar, but an 9 Appellate Case: 11-5154 Document: 01018941311 Date Filed: 10/30/2012 Page: 10 affirmative defense for the reasons set forth above. The second case Defendants relied on heavily in the district court was Public Water Supply District No. 10 of Cass County, Missouri v. City of Peculiar, Missouri, 345 F.3d 570 (8th Cir. 2003). In that case, the Eighth Circuit held a § 1926(b) claim was not ripe because the case would benefit from further factual development. The Eighth Circuit concluded the water district did not satisfy the hardship prong because it alleged a speculative injury. The only possible injury to the water district was dissolution, and no petition for dissolution had been filed, nor could the court conclude a petition would ever be filed. In the present case, however, Plaintiff has alleged an injury that is not speculative—that Defendants are curtailing the service. Nonetheless, Defendants believe Plaintiff's federal claims "face an obstacle that remove[s] the dispute from the federal court's Article III jurisdiction." According to Defendants, Plaintiff must prove a breach of the Settlement Agreement in order to reinstate and enforce its rights of exclusivity. Thus, Defendants argue, a state court adjudication that no breach of contract exists would eliminate Plaintiff's § 1926(b) claim. Defendants misinterpret the ripeness doctrine. Defendants and Plaintiff agree Plaintiff alleged a cause of action pursuant to § 1926. Taking the facts Plaintiff alleged in the amended complaint as true, we agree Plaintiff has alleged a cause of action pursuant to § 1926(b). No alleged facts are contingent upon any future events. Plaintiff is indebted to the USDA and it has provided or made service available. Whether the specific provisions of a settlement agreement 10 Appellate Case: 11-5154 Document: 01018941311 Date Filed: 10/30/2012 Page: 11 preclude Plaintiff's claim on the merits does not relate to ripeness. Plaintiff met its burden to show its claim is ripe. If Defendants believe that Plaintiff's claim is precluded because of the language of the Settlement Agreement, such an assertion relates to the merits of the action, not to the ripeness of the § 1926 claim. Accordingly, the judgment of the district court is— REVERSED and REMANDED. 11

Extra Tough English Bridle Leather – Orox Leather Co.
English bridle leather is vegetable rather than oil-tanned so the leather is stiffer and drier. This is ideal for the use cases described above, but not for a bag. A bag made entirely of English bridle leather would be so tough and heavy that it would take decades to break in. We use English bridle leather in most of our belts and for the straps of all our Merces Purses.


Chances are, if you're reading this, you get defensive about NYC life when you're traveling, too. You never feel as overwhelmed by crowds or put off by rudeness as non–New Yorkers assume you should. Of course, there are frustrating things about the city (the L train shutdown, creeps on Tinder and terrible roommates, to name a few). But in case you need a quick retort for someone who just doesn't get it, we've rounded up the 15 most common misconceptions about the city. Here's why they're not true (mostly).
Yeah, there are a lot of us sharing the streets and subways. But that also means there are more people to meet, more funny conversations to overhear and more memorable chance encounters. Plus, it makes running into a friend feel extra special.
Go back to the Midwest and it probably won't take long to hear things like, "I hear a pop costs five dollars there!" and "Don't you have to lay down 20 big ones for lunch every day?" Admittedly, those things are both true. If you don't know where to go, that is. Live here for a bit, and you'll know the best spots for cheap eats, free snacks and other cost-saving hacks like the back of your hand.
Of all the misconceptions about New Yorkers, this is the most blatantly incorrect. We may develop gruff exteriors, but we are happy to help lost visitors find their way, and we always give up our subway seats for the pregnant and elderly. We carry strollers and suitcases up stairs, and we hold the door for whoever's walking behind us. We may not be smiling all the time, but we're certainly not unfriendly.
Girl, turn off that SVU. Network procedurals may still paint New York as a crime-ridden place full of random acts of violence, but that hasn't been the case for years. In fact, crime and murder rates have dropped so fast that New York is now one of the safest cities in the United States. You can walk the streets here without Mariska, we promise.
Um, clearly everyone else just walks too slowly. If you want to meander here, feel free, but just let the rest of us get around you. We've got places to be.
Do you live within a mile of a 843-acre park that also happens to host Shakespeare plays and ice-skating? What about a 585-acre one with free outdoor summer concerts? Didn't think so. Yes, there's a lot of concrete here, but our parks offer amazing respite. And a short train ride away are hikes in the Hudson Valley, Long Island beaches and all the apple orchards you could want come fall (and you don't even need a car to get there).
There are plenty of sirens, honking cabs and noisy conversations, but that hum is part of what makes NYC feel so alive. And you get used to it—you learn to tune out the din to such an extent that you start to find silence unnerving. When you venture outside the city, it can be hard to sleep without that white noise out the window.
Brooklyn has been gaining more attention in recent years due to it's international hipster cred, but for many people, Manhattan and New York are one and the same. That's obviously wrong. But whatever you do, don't tell them how awesome Queens actually is. It's hard enough to get a table at Mu Ramen as it is.
Unfortunately, if you move to New York, you aren't going to live in Monica's gigantic apartment from Friends or Carrie Bradshaw's dream-worthy Upper East Side studio. If Monica Geller owned that apartment today, she would have to be a millionaire many, many times over. They would have to rename the show Millionaire Friends and Their Poor Friend Joey.
We may not have as many taco trucks as California, but if you know where to look, you can find a great burrito or enchilada, especially in the outer boroughs. Plus, lots of NYC chefs use Mexican influences to get creative with upscale dining, so our sit-down Mexican food scene is pretty baller.
We don't have trunks to store all our junk in (literally), but instead, our commutes involve reading, listening to podcasts, and most important, people watching. Driving alone in your car doesn't foster the productivity that you can find on the train. And though the subway map may look complicated to outsiders, it's actually very easy to get anywhere you want. And the trains runs all night, so nobody has to worry about driving home after an evening out. We'll take that over highways anytime.
You probably won't have a picket fence or a backyard, but raising a kid here is just like doing it anywhere else (except that they might grow up a little faster). Children can learn the bus routes and say hi to neighbors in the hallway just as well as anyone else. Plus, city kids never wish they'd grown up in the burbs, but Westchester and Long Island natives always move to NYC. Case closed.
Yeah…this one is actually true.

The FBI's investigation had dogged Clinton's presidential campaign since last summer. The longer it goes, the more likely it is to damage to her chances of winning the Democratic nomination and the White House. Reports indicate that the bureau is sprinting to complete its work so it won't be seen as meddling in the presidential election. Still, according to Clinton, the FBI has yet to reach out to her to schedule an interview, despite reports that she and other top aides could soon be brought in for questioning. Most Americans only have two lingering questions for Hillary Clinton. One being why is a criminal allowed to run for the most powerful office in government, and second being if the investigation has been going on for a year or longer. What is taking so long for her arrest, because if your average American did one thing she has done. We would all be in Federal prison after a one day trial, after they discovered what we did after one week of sending top secret information out. Another question would be, what in the hell to people who support her for president see in her. She only got four Americans killed in Benghazi for taking no action, and just this week she stated the unborn have no Constitutional rights. Why do people support her you ask? Well she's anti unborn, and shes pro illegal immigration. When those two things come into play we have lots of misinformed Americans, who would only be her supporters. It is now time for her arrest for the sole reason if we did what she did? We would all be wearing orange jumpsuits now.


Firm That Invested In Stumptow..
Toby's Estate Announces New Bu..
In the future—not long from now, surely—each and every telecom data replenishment node will sport a far-out high-end cyber modified coffee experience. But here in 2018 there is Ada's Discovery Cafe, a first-of-its-kind high-flying collaboration between Seattle local indie Ada's Technical Books and multinational telecommunications conglomerate AT&T, open now at Broadway and East Thomas.
It's a match made in Seattle, or at least the Seattle of today, where rising rents and influx of new money tech culture make successful cafe/bookstore/event space/coworking hybrids like Ada's so very important. Founded in 2010—roughly an eon ago in the Seattle time scheme—Ada's is the work of Danielle and David Hulton, an enterprising couple with deep connections in the international informations security and cryptoanalysis scenes. David co-founded a leading information security conference, ToorCon, in 1998, and sold his company Pico Computing to a larger technology firm in 2015. Danielle is a Seattle Pacific University graduate in the field of electrical engineering and manages day to day for Ada's growing team including bookstore, events, co-working, and cafe staff.
Those operations now include Ada's Discovery Cafe, opened in late September a block from the iconic Broadway strip running north-south through the heart of Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood. Once synonymous with the city's bohemian music scene and LGBTQ community, not to mention coffee culture, today it's a neighborhood in flux, with construction everywhere and a rapidly changing social milieu. (Walking to the cafe I passed a gentleman in skin-tight neoprene gym clothes and wraparound sunglasses, hitting his Juul vape and checking his iPhone, balanced atop a Segway MiniPro just so.) The Hultons are ardent advocates for Capitol Hill: they've lived here for 15 years and owned a business there for around half that time. "We're passionate about the neighborhood," says Danielle, and they see the newly opened Discovery Cafe as a way to further serve it.
But your coffee purchase—indeed, the totality of your coffee interaction—have not been AT&T app-ified, and it's very much Ada's own staff, own menu choices, and own expression of playful, geeky coffee culture on exhibit here at the pop-up. That's the key compound word here, "pop-up," as Discovery Cafe is officially a three-year commitment in which Ada's has complete creative control over the bar space. "We control everything from here"—pointing to the bookshelf, stacked with titles by Ursula Le Guin, Roxane Gay, and Cordelia Fine—"to here," says Danielle, gesturing to the end of the coffee bar. Over the next three years, one presumes that AT&T's hopes the space, a kind of ur-millennial New Seattle tech denizen AT&T store on steroids (or rather, nootropics), can make waves and shift units on Capitol Hill. In the meantime, we've got a very ambitious little coffee bar to enjoy.
Overseeing the insertion order for said ambition is Cole McBride, the 2018 United States Barista Champion and a career competition barista. The Hulton's relationship with McBride extends back the better part of a decade, when McBride—in a previous capacity with Seattle's Visions Espresso coffee supply and consultancy—helped train and set-up the couple's first coffee bar, at the Ada's Technical Books flagship store (at 425 15th Ave E, a few blocks straight up the hill). At the new Ada's Discovery Cafe McBride has been given what appears to be free reign to design a challenging, surprising, playfully geeky take on the coffee bar menu in 2018, chockablock with flourishes from frozen espressos to cocktail riffs like the "Cannon Iced Coffee" made with Scrappy's lime bitters (an ode to Pacific Northwest coffee professional Mike Cannon) to a series of drinks brewed on co-founder David Hulton's own line of KYOTOBOT robotic coffee brewers.
Shots drop into frozen espresso cups.
That frozen espresso? With its Igloo cooler full of billowing dry ice? It works. Made on my visit with Verve Coffee's Ethiopia Sakara, the shot offers loads of warm-cold contrast upon first sip (expect an icy lip mark on your cup), melding into a lovely sort of melted chocolate orange thing for the back half of the shot. It's the drink we tried at Ada's I could most see myself coming back for, as a civilian coffee enjoyer, to drink for fun on future visits to the neighborhood.
There's that word again—accessibility—and so I asked Hulton to help dial it in. The menu at Ada's Discovery Cafe is a lot of things: exciting, challenging, unabashedly weird, and oddly reverent to the coffee styles of yesteryear, with options like dry and iced cappuccinos and shakeratos. But I'm not sure the word I'd use is "accessible", or at least not in the same way as, say, the massive hulking Starbucks Reserve store a few blocks down the road, whose presence at five years in now looms over any other new coffee project on the Hill. I feel like David and Danielle Hulton understand the question well.
That's all well and good, and this notion of democratizing specialty coffee for the curious is something we're hearing more and more of from new cafes around the world. Snobbishness, it turns out, isn't great for business. Making delicious coffee accessible, however, more assuredly is. Where frozen espressos and siphon robots fit into the equation, I'm not totally sure (quantum mechanics is not my field), but I do know that the menu at Ada's is unabashedly fun, and frequently surprising, in a kind of "nerds take over the cafeteria" sort of way.
But they did not, in fact, partner with Tully's or Starbucks, or any other multi-national coffee conglomerate. Instead, they partnered with Ada's, a small business whose co-founders seem to be swaddling their new creation into the world like loving parents of a second child, with lots of lessons learned and hopes and dreams for the future and also some quite natural concerns. The interior design vibe, controlled entirely by AT&T, feels like what you'd find in the common room event space of a fancy new condo building. The TV's are big and garish and have been widely derided by commenters in the local press. The footprint for books and magazines, while well-curated, is far too small—with all that space, and all that expertise from the team at Ada's, it could easily be expanded to include more titles.
I guess I just want more Ada's in the Ada's Discovery Cafe experience at AT&T Lounge, but therein lies the devil's bargain of big brand/small brand collaboration. It is rarely ever perfect, but it has the capacity to create experiences that get people talking and pique their fascination, and on that front the Ada's + AT&T project has been a roaring success out the gate. People want to see and experience this thing for themselves, and in today's ever-crowded new cafe market, that's saying something.
And so for at least the next three years we get Ada's Discovery Cafe, which means more dry ice espressos, more highball iced cappuccinos, more coffee cocktail riffs from morning 'til afternoon, and more from our new friend KYOTOBOT. Maybe this really is the future, in which enormous brands partner with tiny brands to help create a version of both for more people to enjoy. Perhaps we, as a society, can requisition further nodes of collaborative dispensation betwixt large corporations (with money and vision) and indie companies (with good ideas/delicious products/etc) so that exciting and interesting things have the backing and platform to capture popular imagination at scale. This is how a lot of great literature and film and music is made, after all—as a collaboration of art and industry.
More good ideas, more tasty coffee, more books, and maybe, you know, if you need it, some more GB for your data plan. This is… not capitalism, exactly, or at least not any sort of zero-sum straight-line version of it. But in 2018 it feels very much like Capitol Hill.
Ada's Discovery Cafe is located at 800 E Thomas St, Seattle. Visit their official website and follow them on Facebook and Instagram.
