Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout Review – PC
by Brice Boembeke
+ Lighthearted, frantically fun and chaotic gameshow-style game all about being the last jellybean standing.
- Winning can sometimes feel impossible.
A crazy, chaotic mix of minigames where winning is elusive, but losing is just as addictive and fun.
If you ever wanted to be a contestant on a gameshow like MXC or Takeshi's Castle or Wipeout, then Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is probably your best chance to finally fulfil that wish. While the game is billed as a battle-royale because of its last-man-standing goal, it does not play like any other battle royale game that I've yet experienced.
Most battle royales are about being the final survivor of a highly lethal environment with everyone out to kill each other with a various assortment of weapons and slowly shrinking playable areas. Fall Guys, however, is a colorful, hilarious gameshow-style game with a huge assortment of mini games that are all designed to slowly chip away at the initial pool of 60 players, eliminating several each round until you find a winner.
The assortment of minigames is already impressive, with the possibility of even more to come since the game has had such an initial success. Because of the random nature of the selected games, I have played several rounds of the game and have yet to experience all of the various games.
Some of the minigames are better than others and some will become ones that you downright dread for one reason or another. There are some that are a mad dash to the finish line where the last few will be eliminated after a certain number cross the finish line. Others will eliminate people as they fall off the edge (or get pushed by the more aggressive style of players). And then there are some team-based games where the team that ends up with the lowest score is the one whose entire group gets eliminated for that round.
The game's style is very colorful, featuring characters that are referred to as Jellybeans, because of their shape and wobbly nature. Another feature of the game is the unlockable cosmetic items that you can get for your jellybean in order to design and dress them up in fun and unique ways. Additionally, each of the iconic mini game areas is also very colorful, with each obstacle or piece of the environment being easily identifiable and standing out from the surrounding area. All of this creates a playful, enjoyable, and really comedic atmosphere as you watch your jellybean stumble, fall, and wobble around the play area, trying to qualify for the next round and, hopefully, get a chance at winning a Crown, the sign of victory.
The thing is, that being the ultimate winner in any round is really, really challenging. As of writing this review, I have yet to win one, though I have made it to the final round a couple of times. But, the amazing thing about the game is that the way it rewards you for each little success like qualifying for the next round, makes it so that even if you don't win, you still feel like you're progressing. And it makes chasing that crown all the more enticing. It always seems like it's just within reach, but so very elusive.
Win or lose, I have to say that Fall Guys is a really fun game and a great way to kill some time. It's an easy game to get into with very simple controls and intuitive, easy to understand objectives for each of the minigames. It is a game that can be easily enjoyed by gamers of any age and of any skill level. Also, it is a perfect game for someone who wants to play but doesn't have hours to invest in a single game session.
I think that one of the only real criticisms that I can think of for the game is that it definitely seems like certain minigames have a much higher chance of showing up (Gate Crash and Hit Parade) but then again, it could just be that those are ones that I fear and then notice when they show up that much more.
Overall, I think the game is a real gem. It brings a new, but perfectly fitting spin to the battle-royale genre. It is a party game that can be enjoyed by absolutely anyone. It is simple to get into, but absolutely a challenge to master. It does a really good job of mitigating the frustration of loss by helping you celebrate the minor successes that you find along the way, and also making failure hilarious and fun and just as entertaining as winning.
To me, this game feels like a no-brainer and one that everyone should add to their library for when they just need to mix things up and take a break from the more serious, highly competitive, or super-hardcore games that seem to be more and more the norm these days.

Brice Boembeke
My first memories of gaming are from when I was 5 years old and my dad got a Commodore 64. It has been almost 30 years and my passion for gaming has only grown. I play a little bit of everything, but am particularly interested in the emergent and unscripted gameplay that comes from open world, sandbox-style online multiplayer games. It is a very exciting time to be a gamer, but I still feel like the best is yet to come. I can't wait to see what comes next.


The project involved restoration and extension of a mid-19th century terrace house in the Westbourne Conservation Area. The property is a Grade II listed building. The property is considered to have a key significance in this part of London that relates to its historic and architectural contribution to the Westbourne Conservation Area. The design proposal had to respect historic environment and the Conservation Area Planning Policies.
The design process included interior reconfiguration which aimed to reduce circulation space to increase the functionality of the floor plan and efficient use of space. The design considered original features and aimed to restore the ambience of the 19th century terrace house. As the property is a heritage asset, the design changes needed to the evaluated against the special architectural and historic interest of the listed building. The building has an impressive townscape value as it is part of a group of 24 buildings introducing visual harmony and architectural quality to the streetscape. The project had to consider uniformity in the visual appearance with the entire row of terrace houses.
The main changes to the exterior of the terrace house included enlargements to the rear elevation through a glazed infill extension that can only be visible from dwelling's secluded garden. The roof of the extension was transformed into a private outdoor area, sandwiched between two closet wings. The placement of the extension considered planning constraints, intended to eliminate any overseeing into neighbouring properties.
Despite the contrast of style between the original period character and the contemporary additions, showing a clear distinction between old and new, the planning permission was granted due to the sensitive choice of materials and minimal design that emphasised the original exterior features of the terrace house. The choice of texture and colour palette selected for the proposal aimed to remain sympathetic to the surrounding and compliment the listed property. The roof of the extension and the main roof was designed to imitate the original design from 19th century. The existing concrete tiles were replaced by natural slate matching the period of the building and enhancing the external appearance and unity with the neighbouring terrace houses.
Even if you don't have a Listed Building Extension in Chelsea, but you would like a London architect to help get you an extension in Kensington or Kingston, we can help. We can also help with questions about planning consent for loft conversions, or what you can achieve under Permitted Development.or whether you would need planning full permission.We can help you get planning permission, or let you know if your permission is still valid. We don't add VAT to the council's planning application fees when we submit your application and liaise with officers on your behalf. There is no extra charge for this.
Alternatively, we sometimes suggest the pre-app. route in the event of any contention. See the Pre-app section on the Planning Portal for more details. We can help you understand why you will need to satisfy the Building Control department of your local council, even for a small build.
If you are wondering what home improvements add the most value to a house, we can talk about that too. We can guide you regarding estimated build costs for a loft conversion, rear extension or to add a driveway. We can indicate the design & build costs as well as the resale value added.Please get in touch with us for your free quote.

Student narrowly escapes attackers on Saturday
Michael Hood
This past Saturday night, a Hope College student was approached by a car, physically assaulted and nearly kidnapped near the corner of 14th Street and College Avenue, steps away from Hope's campus. According to Campus Safety, the female student (whose name has been protected for security reasons), was walking down the street when a black SUV pulled up. After receiving threats from the individuals within the car, three of the vehicle's four occupants exited the vehicle and approached her – one of them attempting to grab her by the arm. The student struck the suspect and proceeded to flee to her place of student housing, from there she was able to contact authorities. The student was uninjured.
Campus Safety officers in tandem with officers from the Holland Department of Public Safety, combed the area in search of the vehicle that night, to no avail. At an institution that many regard as a perfectly safe and guarded community, this attack has hit close to home for many Hope students, as many never thought that anything such as this would ever happen to anyone on our campus. "It's scary that things like this are happening [here at Hope]…As a woman, it's even more scary because it could've been anyone in that situation", says Angelica Peña, who is a sophomore. "You hear about stuff happening in other places… but you never think about the fact that it could happen here. It's just scary and it reminds me that it is important to watch out for myself, and my friends too."
While it is difficult to entirely prevent incidents like this from occurring, there are measures that students can take to increase their own personal levels of safety when going out. Simple things such as: telling someone where you are going and when you expect to reach your destination, keeping your cell phone charged, and using the buddy system are often overlooked, but can make a huge difference when it comes to creating a comprehensive plan to stay safe. Being proactive before leaving and staying vigilant while out can be extremely important factors in protecting oneself.
The student who was attacked did not personally know any of the suspects. One of the suspects is described as a white male, approximately 20 years old, medium build, medium length brown hair, and is approximately 6'0" tall. A second suspect was described as a white male having a bigger build, a slight "gut", and being about 6'1" tall, with short brown hair and a large nose. The other individuals (who remained in the vehicle), remained unidentifiable. Anyone with information regarding the incident is advised to call campus safety at (616) 395-7770, call the Holland Department of Public Safety at 1(800) 249- 0911, or visit the Holland Department of Public Safety's office at 89 West 8th Street, open Monday through Friday, from 7 a.m., to 5 p.m.

My back was broken, my legs numb. Lying in the hospital bed I pondered the recent series of troubling events. One morning while putting on my riding boots I had a premonition; a vivid movie in my mind showed me being thrown off my horse and breaking my back. In disbelief, I went riding that day only to experience this premonition coming true.
What! Is that God talking to me!? Before the questions were formulated in my mind the answers came instantaneously. Time stood still as a deep abiding comfort came over me. Even though we were in the throes of financial ruin, I had complete and utter trust.
In the months following this event, I did nothing on my own volition. Tuned in and listening, I heard His voice directing me in every situation. It was fascinating and surreal, but temporary.
And so it began. There were many amazing results from this healing energy work flowing through me. With complete trust and faith, I just showed up. I let go and surrendered to Divine Intelligence that knew where and what was needed. Messages came through for clients. It was as if this "Unknowable Force" was speaking, using my voice.
Others had profound changes: one overcame a fear of flying, resolved after one session. Another, in a bad marriage, gained the strength and courage to leave her famous rock star husband. After just one session, a diabetic woman on an insulin pump discovered her insulin requirements dropped by half – unexplainable in human terms.
I felt empty, devoid of ability or direction. But this undeniable experience ignited a passionate search for more answers, like those inner truths that had been freely given. An unimaginable journey to re-discover this "Great Mystery" was set in motion.
Bridging hands-on energy practices with allopathic medicine became my passion. Patients loved the experience, stating it gave them a sense of peace and tranquility otherwise missing from day to day hospital tasks. Some were able to release tension, headaches, anxiety, fears, and body aches not relieved by pain medicines. I used Healing Touch and Therapeutic Touch on co-workers also, helping them get grounded and centered. It's truly what nursing is all about.

posted 16 Jan 2012, 03:12 by Krison Tan Kok Guan (SJI) [ updated 16 Jan 2012, 03:13 ]
Fédération Internationale d'Escrime (FIE), the international governing body of Olympic Fencing has named our very own Dennis Leong Kok Seng as one of the 24 designated referees for the Fencing sport in the 2012 London Olympic Games.
He is the first Singaporean to be nominated in the capacity of a sporting official – referee, at the 2012 London Olympic Games. Follow The Play Times as we engage Dennis Leong in a bout. En garde!
Fencing is a family of combat sports using bladed weapons. It came of age as a sport in the 19th century. A tense, compelling battle of wits and technique, the sport of Fencing is divided into three weapons: Foil, Sabre and Épée. It is one of the only four sports to have been featured at every one of the modern Olympic Games.
Dennis Leong was once a national fencer himself, having represented Singapore in various competitions such as the Southeast Asian Games and 2006's South East Asia Fencing Championships. The 30 year old stepped into the tense and yet compelling world of Fencing back in 1994, when studying as a Secondary One student in Tanglin Secondary School.
When asked why he chose Fencing over the other more popular sports in Singapore at that time, Dennis simply said, "At that time, I wanted a sport which is unique and different from the other usual sports. So, I chosen Fencing as it was a niche sport at that time."
Today, Fencing is fast becoming a popular sport in Singapore in comparison to the time when Dennis first started fencing. The 2010 Youth Olympics Games held in Singapore also contributed significantly, bringing to the numbers of fencers and standard of Fencing in Singapore to another level.
While he was competitively fencing, Dennis believed that a high refereeing standard would contribute to and improve the standard of Fencing. What started out as an earnest quest to improve his own performance by better understanding the rules of Fencing ultimately became his calling.
In 2006, when the opportunity came in the form of the International Refereeing Examination in Bangkok, Dennis took and passed the stringent examination conducted by the FIE; certified to referee in the Foil and Épée weapon category. Since then, he had actively presided in many international Fencing competitions.
Dennis was assigned a host of high profile international competitions including World Cups, Grand Prix and World Championships. In Dennis' own words, "In each international competition that I preside over, I try to improve my refereeing standard from the last. For the past 5 years I have set myself a target to be one of the best fencing referees to be selected to preside in the Olympics."
After leaving the Fencing scene as an athlete last competing in the 2007 SEA Games, Dennis also started coaching Fencing full-time apart from refereeing. He combines a background of competitive Fencing with valuable refereeing experience to provide tremendous insight and knowledge to students.
As an international referee, Dennis arranges his work and coaching commitment around the competition schedules, which normally lasts for about 1 to 2 weeks on average. Currently, Dennis coaches Fencing under his company, SportivA.
For Dennis, one of the greatest officiating accomplishments came when he was appointed the main referee in the finals of the World Fencing Championships 2010 held in Catania, Italy. "It was my biggest achievement. The experience of refereeing the Gold medal match in front of thousands spectators and live on television was surreal."
His hard work has paid off handsomely indeed. Be sure to watch out for Dennis Leong at his biggest achievement yet; refereeing at the 2012 London Olympic Games!

Boston scored three runs in the third off CC Sabathia and Christian Vazquez homered in the fourth en route to a 4-3 victory to win the ALDS in 4 games.
NEW YORK -- Another day, another struggling Yankee starter, another early Red Sox advantage, another slow trigger on the bullpen.
Tuesday night's Game 4 remained far more competitive than Boston's blowout win in Game 3, but the Red Sox never relinquished the lead they established with a three-run rally off CC Sabathia in the third. They went on to win by a final score of 4-3, taking the series to advance to the American League Championship Series and end the rival Yankees' season.
After Sabathia labored at times during the first two innings, he hit Andrew Benintendi to lead off the third. Steve Pearce followed with a single, pushing Benintendi to third. A sacrifice fly by J.D. Martinez plated the Sox' first run, and an Ian Kinsler double and an Eduardo Nunez single drove home two more. Yankees manager Aaron Boone pulled Sabathia and went to his bullpen after the third, but the damage was done.
Red Sox starter Rick Porcello allowed several hard-hit balls, but few found gaps in the Boston defense. The right-hander -- last seen working in relief in Game 1 of the series -- struck out only one batter, but issued no walks and kept the big-swinging Yankees in the park. New York managed only one run across five innings against Porcello.
Red Sox ace Chris Sale came out of the bullpen in the eighth and shut down the three batters he faced on 13 pitches.
The Yankees tallied two runs in the ninth off a frighteningly wild Craig Kimbrel, but their comeback bid came up short when a bases-loaded fly ball from Gary Sanchez died on the warning track and Gleyber Torres grounded out.
As with every game in this series, the club that scored first never trailed. The biggest hit in the decisive rally Tuesday came from Kinsler, who drilled a double over the glove of leaping left-fielder Brett Gardner to drive home the Sox's second run and put himself in position to score on the ensuing single by Nunez.
After the soft underbelly of his bullpen was exposed in Game 1, Red Sox manager Alex Cora masterfully negotiated his club through the series and handily outmaneuvered his counterpart and fellow rookie manager Boone. In Tuesday's game, Cora seemed to spot the red flags present in Porcello's shaky fifth inning and pulled the starter with only 65 pitches on his ledger and a solid statline on the night. Cora also stuck with his formula in starting Kinsler at second base against the left-handed Sabathia -- rather than rewarding Monday night's hero, Brock Holt, with another start -- and Kinsler provided arguably the game's biggest hit.
The Yanks' 100-win season ended with the loss, but their future looks as bright as it has since their dynasty in the late 1990s. Though Game 4 starter Sabathia and valuable setup man David Robertson are ticketed for free agency after the season, the overwhelming majority of their key contributors will return for 2019 and most remain under team control into the early part of the next decade. And because they managed to stay below the luxury-tax threshold in 2018, they'll avoid stiff penalties if they're active in a free-agent market that will include Bryce Harper and Manny Machado. Though the club's crowded outfield picture may make a pursuit of Harper seem unlikely, the 25-year-old slugger grew up a Yankees fan and, at one point this summer, started taking grounders at first base -- where New York has a need. GM Brian Cashman likely will address the club's starting rotation in the off-season, either by trading from the club's organizational depth or by pursuing free-agents-to-be like Patrick Corbin, Dallas Keuchel or Charlie Morton.
With the win, the Red Sox move on to the ALCS to face the Houston Astros in a matchup of clubs with MLB's two best regular-season records. The Sox' 108-win season guarantees them home-field advantage for as long as they last in the postseason, so they'll host the Astros in Game 1 of the ALCS on Saturday at Fenway Park. Chris Sale, who had been slated to start Game 5 of the ALDS if it became necessary, likely will face off with Justin Verlander in the series opener. The tilt inevitably will draw comparisons to recent Western Conference Finals in the NBA, in which the league's strongest teams square off in the penultimate round of the playoffs.


Network 18 has launched a campaign to promote its app 'CricketNext', which puts the cricket-crazy fan at its centre. The campaign has been rolled out by Taproot Dentsu, the creative agency from Dentsu Aegis Network.
The app is designed to be a forum for fans to voice their opinion and post video comments, along with other standard features such as live score updates. In keeping with this theme, the films celebrate these opinionated fans.
The campaign starring Anil Kumble comprises two films, in which arm-chair experts are unexpectedly given a platform where they can be heard and valued.
Rahul Kansal, Group Brand Advisor, Network18, said, "Cricket Next is a next level app for the next level fan. Beyond just giving live scores and basic commentary, it invites passionate cricket fans to offer their opinions and share their insights on the game.

Scotts Hill High School Lions Basketball
Photo by: Dan Eason / The Lexington Progress
The Scotts Hill High School Lions basketball team had a home game against the Bobcats of McNairy County High School on Friday, December 7, 2021. The Lions were able to take care of business on this evening as the team outscored McNairy County. The final score of the contest was 62-55, in favor of Scotts Hill High School.
The game started by seeing Scotts Hill score 17 points to open the first quarter. The Lions gave up eleven points to the Bobcats in the opening quarter of play. Scotts Hill then added another 13 points to the scoreboard in the second quarter but allowed McNairy County to score 23 points before halftime. At the half, the Lions would trail by a score of 34-30. In the third quarter, Scotts Hill recorded 12 points and only gave up seven points to the Bobcats. Then, in the fourth and final quarter of play, the Lions added another 20 points of their own while allowing McNairy Central to score only 14 points.
The top performer for Scotts Hill in the win was Luke Ledbetter. Ledbetter netted a team high 27 points. Riley McClain would record 15 points and Bryce Allard followed with nine points of his own. Ripken Clenny finished the contest with six points and…

There is nothing quite like having the beach as your backyard. It changes your state of mind, makes you feel at ease. And on a perfect sunny day in the Tampa Bay area, you just can't wait to take a dip and let your mind wander.
Whether you long to be constantly on the water or you are simply in it for the stunning views, everyone one can agree to this truth: nothing compares to living on the beach. But if you are not entirely convinced, here are a couple of reasons why the beach lifestyle will change your life.
Life will slow down. Tired and constantly stressed because of the fast-paced city life? Living on the beach is your antidote. As the waves gently lap along the shoreline, time will gradually slow down. All your senses will be treated. You will be revitalized.
Because of the slow pace, many relocate from the city to the beach. But in the Tampa Bay area, you can still enjoy the slow-paced lifestyle while enjoying city conveniences whenever you like. The constant change of pace will be good for you.
Adventures are always around the corner. If you are craving adrenaline, living on the beach offers plenty of recreational pursuits. Hop on a boat and go sailing or deep-sea fishing. Take the plunge in local diving spots and swim with marine life. See where the wind takes you as you kite-surf.
Don't want to get wet? How about a volleyball or football match on the beach? The Tampa Bay area is also home to a vast network of trails, some even passing through lush wildlife areas and nature preserves. Hike, bike, run− the things you can do when you live on the beach are endless.
You will have time for yourself. These days, self-care is incredibly important. Living on the beach gives you plenty of opportunities to spend time with yourself. This way, you can get introspective, know yourself better, and meditate to your heart's content.
Aside from these benefits to your overall well-being, living on the beach can be a sound real estate investment.
Beach properties are always highly coveted, especially in communities along the Tampa Bay coastal area. You can turn a beach home into your primary residence, a summer home, and when it is not being used, a vacation rental. With the latter, you can even potentially earn a steady stream of passive income.
David and Allison Estabrooks know what sheer joy it is to find your dream beach home in St. Petersburg, Tierra Verde, and the Beaches.
They can help you get started on that dream life on the beach. Contact the Estabrooks Group today at (727) 373-8294 or fill this form here to schedule a consultation. Once you get in touch, you will unlock beachfront homes for sale in St. Petersburg, FL.

By looking at arts advocacy groups, this event will discuss knowledge and strategies around campaigning and awareness-raising against exploitation and labour conditions in the cultural sector. Speakers from W.A.G.E. (NY, US), Intern Labor Rights (NY, US) and Precarious Workers Brigade (LONDON, UK) will present recent work and discuss local conditions of their practice. Although the arts and cultural sector in the US differs from that in the UK, there are similarities in these groups' approach. Questions of aesthetics and modes of artistic and political intervention are secondary: these groups focus on social organization and activist methodologies. By offering modes of address that reshape our understandings of labour, W.A.G.E, Intern Labor Rights and Precarious Workers Brigade unpack and elucidate the conceptual barriers and possibilities of making and presenting art. With this in mind, this talk will continue the discussion with regards to art and its relation to activism.
Founded in 2008, Working Artists and the Greater Economy (W.A.G.E.) is a New York-based activist group whose advocacy is currently focused on regulating the payment of artist fees by non-profit art institutions and establishing a sustainable model for best practices between artists and the institutions that contract their labour.
Intern Labor Rights aims to raise awareness of the exploitation of unpaid labourers. We have experienced first-hand the detrimental effects of a practice whereby workers contribute to their employers' success but receive no wages in compensation.
Precarious Workers Brigade is a UK-based group of precarious workers in culture and education. We call out in solidarity with all those struggling to make a living in this climate of instability and enforced austerity. Join us to learn, create and struggle together!

Is Will Smith in a fraternity? Will Smith is not affiliated with Kappa Alpha Psi but it does look like his fictional character from the show might have been interested in pledging, had he been accepted into "A Different World's" fictional HBCU, Hillman College.
What does J15 mean aka?
Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Incorporated
What does sands mean in a sorority?
Sands – An NPHC term for members of your new member class or Greeks who became members the same semester. Comes from the phrase "cross the burning sands" which means to cross over (become initiated) into full membership.
What does a sorority girl wear?
Jean shorts are a basic in every girl's closet. However, your jean shorts do not need to make an appearance at sorority recruitment. Wear something that is a little nicer. If you are given a t-shirt for one or multiple rounds of sorority recruitment, try patterned shorts or a jean skirt.
What is a sorority girl?
0. The definition of a sorority is a social club for females, typically at a college or university, where the girls call each other "sisters," and do activities together. Alpha Phi is an example of a sorority.
What does crossing the burning sands mean?
The term "crossing the burning sands" describes pledging a Greek-letter organization and crossing over from being a pledge to becoming a full member. Other organizations use this term as it speaks to the trials and tribulations that people face and rise above in life.
Can you drink in a sorority?
Being in a sorority means you have to drink. In fact, sororities nationwide are considered dry, meaning that there is no alcohol permitted in the house or at any sorority functions.
Why does aka have 20 pearls?
The 20 pearls indicate the nine original founders, seven sophomores who were invited a month later and four women who incorporated the sorority and expanded its influence on college campuses. Four incorporators moved the organization forward in 1911 when Nellie Quander was elected president of the sorority.
Is it illegal for sororities to throw parties?
No law actually prohibits sororities from throwing parties in the United States. However, the National Panhellenic Conference, which governs the country's 26 major sororities, maintains that sisters can't swig booze in sorority houses — even as the fraternity down the street throws a keg party.
Can you join 2 sororities?
If you drop after you are initiated, you cannot join another sorority. Therefore, you cannot join another sorority at a different college. However, if you are in a sorority and you transfer, you can join the same sorority. You have to go through the transfer process at your new college.
Who came first Delta or aka?
The difference between the two stems from the fact that Alpha Kappa Alpha came first; the sorority was founded in 1908 at Howard University. However, five years later, some members of Alpha Kappa Alpha broke away and formed the Delta Sigma Theta sorority.
What is the richest sorority?
Among the top 25 women named to Forbes' list of America's Richest Self-Made Women, three are known to be sorority members:

\section{I. Introduction:}
Recent experiments have shown quantum oscillations in underdoped YBCO samples in strong magnetic field$\sim$45 T \cite{Doiron07,Bangura08,Yelland08,Jaudet08,Sebastian08}. This observation has been interpreted as a signal of the underlying Fermi surface (FS). The period of the oscillation is large, which corresponds to a very small FS, and implies that the FS has been reconstructed, probably by some translational symmetry breaking order in the ground state \cite{Chakravarty08,Millis07,Jdimov,podolsky}. However, for both materials that have been studied, the simplest construction, a $(\pi,\pi)$ folding forming four hole pockets in the original Brillouin Zone (BZ), would imply a pocket too small comparing to the nominal doping by about $25\%$ \cite{Doiron07,Yelland08}. This partly motivated a number of workers to intepret the data in terms of more complicated reconstruction, such as incommensurate spin density wave (SDW) \cite{Sebastian08,Millis07}. Furthermore, the measured Hall effect is negative \cite{LeBoeuf07} and this has led LeBoeuf et al to propose that the quantum oscillations originate from electron pockets. Whether the negative Hall effect is due to flux flow \cite{Ong} is currently a subject under debate.

We believe that in these experiments the samples are still in a vortex mixed state. One evidence is the measured torque hysteresis \cite{Sebastian08}, which implies that vortices exist at least up to 45 T. Furthermore, the commonly quoted core size of 20$\,A^\circ$ (see for example, extrapolation based on STM measurements \cite{shpan} as well as Nernst measurements \cite{luli}) lead to an estimate of $H_{c2}$ of 100 T. Therefore, in order to interpret the oscillations data one has to understand the quantum oscillations in the mixed state.

Up to now all discussions assume that quantum oscillations in the mixed state maintain the same frequency as in the normal state. This is true of all experiments performed up to date where it is possible to scan the magnetic field across $H_{c2}$ \cite{tjanssen,wosnitze}. However, we note that all previous experiments have been done on conventional s-wave low $T_c$ superconductors, with the possible exception of the organics which may be d-wave, and the high $T_c$ cuprates may be in quite a different parameter regime. For example, the coherence length $\xi_0$ is very short, of order 4 or 5 lattice constants and is the consequence of a large energy gap $\Delta_0$. The number of Landau levels $N$ is about 10 in the high $T_c$ experiments, as opposed to 100's or 1000's for coventional superconductors. This means that the semiclassical orbit encloses 10 flux quanta, i.e., 20 vortex cores. There are good reasons to believe that the pairing amplitude and the gap scale $\Delta_0$ are very robust in the underdoped cuprates. In contrast, the commonly used theory of Maki \cite{Maki} and Stephen \cite{Stephen} considers the lowest order scattering of the normal state quasiparticles by a pairing order parameter which is random with short range correlations. It is not at all clear that this picture applies to the current problem. Another parameter which clearly distinguishes the cuprate from other superconductors is $k_F\xi_0$ which is less than or of order unity if $k_F$ is the size of the observed pocket while $k_F\xi_0>>1$ for conventional superconductors.

In this paper we address the question of whether the traditional picture continues to hold in a parameter regime which has not been tested experimentally. We take as our model the Bogoliubov-de Gennes (BdG) equations with a variety of vortex coordinates and competing order parameters, which can take on arbitrary spatial dependence. We take the coherence length and the pair field as parameters and make no attempt to solve the problem self-consistently. Since we do not expect the BdG equations to be the correct microscopic theory for the underdoped cuprates, it makes little sense to determine these parameters self-consistently. Rather, we treat this as a phenomenological model. To the extent that the proximity to the Mott transition is not captured by by this phenomenology, the application of our theory to high $T_c$ problems should be treated with caution. With these caveates, we write down a tight-binding Hamiltonian on a square lattice constant $a$, and we set $e=\hbar=a=1$:

\begin{widetext}
\begin{eqnarray}
H&=&\sum_{i,j\epsilon NN,\sigma} (-t+(-1)^{i_x+j_y} i\Delta_\mathrm{sf}(\vec r_{ij}))e^{iA_{ij}}c^\dag_{i\sigma}c_{j\sigma}+\sum_{i,j\epsilon NNN,\sigma}(-t')e^{iA_{ij}}c^\dag_{i\sigma}c_{j\sigma}+\nonumber\\
&&(\sum_{i,j\epsilon NN}(-1)^{i_x+j_x}\Delta_\mathrm{d}(\vec r_{ij})c^\dag_{i+} c^\dag_{j-}+H.C.)+
\sum_{i,\sigma}((-1)^{i_x+i_y}\sigma V_s(\vec r_i)+V_c(\vec r_i)-\mu)c^\dag_{i\sigma}c_{i\sigma},
\end{eqnarray}
\end{widetext}
where $t$ and $t'$ are the hoppings, $\Delta_\mathrm d$ is the nearest neighbor (NN) pairing, $\Delta_\mathrm{sf}$ is related to the staggered flux or equivalently d-density wave order (SF-DDW) \cite{thsu,Chakravarty01}, and $V_s$, $V_c$ are the staggered spin and charge potential respectively. The potentials are defined on sites $\vec{r_i}=(i_x,i_y)$ and the pairing is defined on bonds $\vec{r}_{ij}=(\vec{r}_i+\vec{r}_j)/2$. The $k$-dependent d-wave gap would be of size $2\Delta_\mathrm{d}(\cos k_x-\cos k_y)$, and near half filling the gap opening seen in the tunneling expriments would be $\sim 4\Delta_\mathrm{d}.$ As a phenomenological model, we take $t$ to be of order $J$, the antiferromagnetic coupling. In underdoped cuprates the gap size is then $\sim0.5t$. $A_{ij}$ is the electromagnetic gauge field taken to be compact on the lattice, which satisfies $\sum_{plaqutte}A_{ij}=B$ and $\sum_{triangle}A_{ij}=B/2$; $B$ is the magnetic field.

The pairing amplitude near a vortex is described by the ansatz
\begin{eqnarray}
\label{sinansatz}
|\Delta_\mathrm{d}(\vec r)|&=&\Delta_\mathrm{0}\sin\theta;\nonumber\\
\cos\theta(\vec r)&=&\frac{r_0}{\sqrt{r_0^2+d(\vec r)^2}},
\end{eqnarray}
where $\Delta_0$ is the NN pairing amplitude deep inside the superconductor, $r_0$ the core size, and $d(\vec r)$ is the distance to the vortex center. When multiple vortices are near by we replace $d$ by $d_{min}=(\sum_id_i^{(-p)})^{-(1/p)}$ which is smaller than the distance toward the nearest vortex. The choice of $p\geq 1$ does not qualitatively affect the result. The phase $\phi$ of $\Delta_\mathrm{d}$ is not a gauge invariant quantity so we must determine it according to the gauge choice of $A_{ij}$. An alternative way is to assign $\phi$ and then determine the gauge field under the constraint mentioned above. We choose $\phi$ to follow the constraints: (i) $|\Delta\phi|<\pi/2$ for every link; (ii) $\sum_{loop}\Delta\phi=2\pi n$ where $n$ is the number of vortices enclosed, and (iii) $\phi$ is periodic in the $y$ direction. We then determine $A_{ij}$ using the fact that the physical configuration must minimize the free energy $\sum\frac12\Delta_\mathrm{d}^2(\vec r)v_s(!
 \vec r)^2$ where $v_s=\phi_i-\phi_j-A_{ij}$ is the superfluid velocity. The free energy is a function quadratic in $A_{ij}$, so we can optimize it by solving a linear equation, using sparse matrix routines.

$V_c$, $\Delta_\mathrm{sf}$, and $V_s$ describe the order in the normal state. They can be uniform, periodic, or localized around
the vortices depending on the order present. There is an additional piece in $V_c$ which balances the charge density in the mixed state. In a finite system with periodic boundary conditions it is not always possible to fit in a periodic vortex lattice. Instead we work with with a disordered array of vortices. At each $B$ the vortex positions are determined by a Monte Carlo annealing process for particles with $Cr^{-2}$ repulsion. The vortices are stuck as we gradually lower the temperature. The resulting vortex configuration has short range order but is rather disordered. It is a reasonable representation of a snapshot of a vortex liquid or a pinned vortex solid.

In order to see the quantum oscillations, either the sample size has to be larger than the cyclotron radius, or one can take advantage of the periodic boundary conditions. With the periodic boundary conditions the magnetic flux through the sample is quantized, and to achieve a small stepping in $1/B$ the sample size again has to so large that the hamiltonian cannot be diagonalized. We can instead, use an iterative green's function's method to get the local density states (LDOS), at any fixed energy:

We affix our sample to two semi-infinite stripes in the $\pm x$ direction. The stripes are normal metal described by $t$ and $t'$. We take periodic boundary conditions in the $y$ direction. Now the configuration is similar to \cite{PALee81} and we can use the same method:
\begin{eqnarray}
G^L(x)=&[G^0(x)^{-1}-\mathbf{t}G^L(x-1)\mathbf{t}^\dag]^{-1};\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,
\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,&\\
G(x)=&&\nonumber\\
\label{greens}
(G^0(x)^{-1}&-\mathbf{t}G^L(x-1)\mathbf{t}^\dag-\mathbf{t}^\dag G^R(x+1)\mathbf{t})^{-1},\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,
\end{eqnarray}
where $G^0(x)$ is the Green's function for the isolated $x_{th}$ column, $G^L(x)$ ($G^R(x)$) is the Green's function at column $x$ when the right (left) side of the column is deleted, $\mathbf{t}$ is the hopping matrix between the two consecutive columns (contains $t, t', \Delta_\mathrm{d}(x)$, and $\Delta_\mathrm{sf}(x)$), and $G(x)$ is the Green's function for the $x_{th}$ column in the original setting. Everything here is a $2y\times2y$ matrix, containing the electron part and the hole part. We first go from left to right, compute $G^L$ for every $x$. Next we go from right to left to compute $G^R$ and use Eq (\ref{greens}) to compute $G(x)$ for all $x$. The imaginary part of the $y$th diagonal matrix element in the electron part of $G(x)$ is then related to the local density of states at $(x,y)$.

Using this method we can get the LDOS everywhere on our sample. However, the LDOS varies from place to place due to its relative position to the vortices as well as the disorder of the vortex lattice. To see the quantum oscillations, it suffices to look at the averaged density of states. In this work, if not specified otherwise we set $t'=-0.3t$, $r_0=5$ and the lattice is of size $2000\times80.$ We vary the magnetic field in accord with the number of the vortices, which is from $500$ to $10000$.

\begin{figure}[!htp]
 		\includegraphics[scale=0.32]{sfhp.eps}
		\caption{\label{sfhp}this plot shows the averaged DOS vs. $1/B$ in the vortex mixed state with $(\pi,\pi)$ SF-DDW order. $B$ is in units of $(\frac{\Phi_0}{2\pi a^2})$.  If we view $H_{c2}$ as the field strength where vortices are overlapping, it corresponds to $1/B=25$ in the plot. Different lines in the plot show states with different pairing fields. The maximum pairing gap in the antinodal direction would have size $\sim 4\Delta.$ We can see as the gap increases the frequency decreases. The inset is a plot of the Fermi surface in the normal state. There are 4 hole pockets with 2.5\% area each of the original BZ. This corresponds to $p=0.1$ from half filling. In this plot $\Delta_\mathrm{sf}=0.25t$.}
 \end{figure}

In Fig. \ref{sfhp} we showed the result where we start from the state in which the Fermi surface is reconstructed by $(\pi,\pi)$ SF-DDW order. If we define $H_{c2}$ to be the field where vortices start overlapping and $r_0=5a$, this gives $(\frac{\Phi_0}{2\pi a^2})\frac1{H_{c2}}=25$, where $\Phi_0$ here is the full flux quantum, $hc/e$. The experimental probe, roughly at the $10$th Laudau level, would be around $(\frac{\Phi_0}{2\pi a^2})\frac1{H_{c2}}=60.$ We create a gap large enough to kill the electron pockets, leaving 4 hole pockets shown in the inset. We found that the oscillation period of the normal state matches the prediction from the Onsager relation and the Luttinger theorem. As we turn on the d-wave pairing amplitude, the period of the quantum oscillation increases. As the pairing gets large the period of the oscillation is off from the period in the normal state by about 20\%. The frequency shifts are clearly seen in the Fourier transform shown in Fig. \ref{fourier}. Note that in our modelling of the vortex cores, the superconducting pairing remains, albeit at reduced amplitude, even for  $B>H_{c2}.$ This explains why the frequency shift persists somewhat above $H_{c2}$, but we can ignore that region becouse it is not reached experimentally. We have also done calculations for a $(\pi,\pi)$ spin density wave (SDW) order, and the period is shifted in a similar way (see Fig. \ref{sdwhf}.)

To check whether this is a generic phenomena, we ran a simpler setting with an electron pocket centered at origin. The result is showed in Fig. \ref{fig:ep0}.
\begin{figure}
 	\includegraphics[scale=0.32]{ep0.eps}
	\caption{\label{fig:ep0} an electron pocket is centered at the origin. The pocket has an area of 14\% of the original BZ. In this plot $t'=-0.14t.$ The maximum gap $\sim 1.5\Delta.$}
\end{figure}
Again, as we turned on the d-wave pairing, the frequency is reduced as the pairing is increased. It is worth noting that we shifted the chemical potential in order to maintain the total electron density as we increase the pairing. We also added a charge potential to make the charge density approximately uniform inside and outside the vortex core. Even if we just forget about density and keep the same chemical potential as in the normal state, the period still decreases (not shown). The chemical potential shift is significant in the case of Fig. \ref{fig:ep0} because the pairing is strong and the electron is far from particle-hole symmtries. It is less significant in the more realistic case of Fig. \ref{sfhp}.

\begin{figure}[htp]
 	\includegraphics[scale=0.32]{sdwhpep.eps}
\caption{\label{sdwhpep}\,4 hole pockets and 2 electron pockets are present. In this plot $A_h=2.9\%$ and $A_e=1.44\%$ of the original BZ, and $p=0.086$. In the normal state, from Onsager's relation we can determine that the peaks with period $11$ are from electron pockets. The amplitude is heavily suppressed in the mixed state. In this plot $V_s=0.2t$.}
\end{figure}

In Fig. \ref{sdwhpep} we started with a 2-pocket Fermi surface reconstructed by a $(\pi,\pi)$ SDW order, and turned on a small d-wave pairing. The oscillations from the electron pockets are clearly visible in the normal state, but are rapidly killed in the mixed state. Note the pair field is very small, about 10 times smaller than that in Fig. \ref{sfhp}. One explanation is that the electron pocket originates from the antinodal region where the gap is large, and is dephased by the random pairing potential due to the random vortex configurations. However, this cannot be the whole story because we find that for s-wave pairing with similar pairing gap size the electron and hole pockets both survive. One difference we noticed is that in the s-wave case there is a strong density of states peak inside the vortex core, much larger than that inside the d-wave core. At this point we do not have a full understanding of the suppression of the electron pocket oscillations.

We have also calculated the oscillation for an "incommensurate" SDW, with period $Q=(\pi(1\pm 2\delta),\pi)$ where $\delta=1/8.$ We impose a sinusoidal $V_s(\vec{r})=V_{s0}\cos(2\pi\delta x))$ and $V_c(\vec{r})=V_{c0}\cos(4\delta x)$. Complicated band structures in this kind of potential was computed by Millis and Norman \cite{Millis07}. It is instructive to consider the hybridization only with the primary vector $Q$ for SDW and $2Q$ for the charge component.  \begin{figure}[!h]
\includegraphics[scale=0.3]{bandstructure.eps}
\caption{\label{bs}Primary bands for the incommensurate SDW in the first quadrant of the original BZ.}
\end{figure}
Fig. \ref{bs} shows the pure SDW case ($V_c=0$) and we see that after hybridization only two closed orbits are possible. One is a small hole pocket and the other is the electron pocket. The larger hole pocket becomes an open orbit. Inclusion of $V_c$ further cuts the small hole pocket to an even smaller area.
\begin{figure}[!h]
\includegraphics[scale=0.32]{isdw.eps}
\caption{\label{isdw} 1/8 stripe state with $t'=-0.4t$, $V_{s0}=0.4$, and $V_{c0}=0.1$. In the normal state 3 frequencies are visible. The fast oscillations localized around $1/B\sim 20$ is a breakdown effect. At lower fields the fast oscillation (period 6) is coming from the electron pockets and the very slow oscillation (only 1 period seen in the range) is from the hole pockets. As we turn on superconductivity the oscillation from the electrons is diminished.}
\end{figure}
Fig. \ref{isdw} shows the quantum oscillations in a uniform $1/8$ stripe phase. We indeed see the oscillations from the electron pockets and the small hole pockets. The electron pocket is again heavily suppressed in the mixed state, leaving a hole frequency which is much too small compared with experiment.

 \end{figure}

In conclusion we have shown that the Onsager relation does not always apply to quantum oscillations in the vortex mixed state. When the pairing is strong and the coherence length short, we find a systematic decrease in the frequency. We have also checked that if the core size is increased, the shift is diminished. Thus our result is consistent with experiments performed so far on conventional superconductors, which are in the large core size limit. The implication for the experiment on high $T_c$ cuprate is that the simple interpretation in terms of $(\pi,\pi)$ folding creating four hole pockets cannot be automatically ruled out. There are two candidates for $(\pi,\pi)$ order. One is SDW order and the second is SF-DDW order. We note that in view of the recent measurement that the $g$ factor is much less than 2 \cite{sebastianpr}, the SF-DDW scenario must be accompanied by some additional order, such as incommensurate SDW. In that case there are possibilities for larger orbits composed of two or three hole pockets shifted by $\delta$ if magnetic breakdown is taken into account. The other interpretation is the incommensurate SDW order. In this case the observed pocket must be identified with the electron pocket. Alternatives in terms of SF-DDW with electron porckets have also been proposed. \cite{Chakravarty08,Jdimov,podolsky}. While the electron pocket is rapidly suppressed in the mixed state in our model, it is not clear how general this conclusion is, i.e. whether it is valid beyond the BdG theory. We think that within the Fermi liquid scenario both are viable options at this point and further work will be needed to distinguish between them.

Residence Inn by Marriott held a grand celebration at their Midtown Manhattan location to announce Actress and NYT Best Seller, La La Anthony as the 2016 Resident Mom of the Year. La La has had an impressive career trajectory, from radio and television personality; to actress and beauty entrepreneur; to best-selling author and producer. Her most important roles, however, remain closer to home as a mom to her son Kiyan and wife to her husband and Basketball Player, Carmelo Anthony.
The Resident Mom award, now in its sixth year, highlights the brand's continued commitment to celebrating moms. Residence Inn makes family travel easier and enables moms to maximize their time with select conveniences and services including: free hot breakfast and Wi-Fi; fitness centers; pools and complimentary grocery delivery service. Most importantly, spacious suites complete with full kitchens give families the opportunity to spread out and live better during extended stays.
La La is inspiring. She thrives as an accomplished businesswoman and role model who encourages women and mothers, in particular, to forge their path. Throughout her career she has devoted equal parts of her time to work, home and fun, and employs this balance even when traveling. Her busy career often means celebrating holidays on the road with her family, and the superstar has picked up a few tricks along the way. Today, La La will unveil La La's Lists, a series of curated grocery delivery lists exclusive to Residence Inn. From signature beverages, including Shirley-La's Temples, to holiday treats such as peanut butter cup pilgrim hats and fun ideas for children's birthdays, La La's Lists provide creative concepts for milestone occasions.
"Travel is a central part of my family's lives. Whether it's acting on location, sourcing materials from around the world for my beauty and clothing lines or accompanying my husband during the basketball season, I am always on the go," said La La. "I appreciate Residence Inn and how the brand helps travelers, especially busy moms, navigate life on the road with time-saving amenities in stylish settings, which means I can spend my trip exploring new destinations and focusing on quality time with loved ones."
"La La exemplifies what it means to be Resident Mom of the Year," said Diane Mayer, Vice President and Global Brand Manager, Residence Inn. "She has proven that dedication and hard work can drive success and propel you to reach your goals. La La is a devoted mom and wife who balances her career and family, and yet, still finds time for fun and discovery. This strikes a chord for many moms, and is a perfect fit for Residence Inn, a brand that understands the importance of maximizing time and thriving while on the road."
During the celebration at the spacious penthouse suite at Residence Inn New York / Manhattan Midtown East, guests were glammed with GLAMSQUAD mini make-overs using MOTIVES by La La beauty products and treated to signature beverages and treats.
La La will join Residence Inn for a Traveling Mom Twitter party on May 19 at 9:00pm EST to discuss thriving on the road, and tips for celebrating special occasions.

It is a little under a week until my work's Christmas party - more or less the only occasion during the year when I really dress up. This year I've chosen a floaty navy blue dress that is very under-stated and I've been struggling to find an appropriate jacket to wear over the top of it. I've now found this smart lighweight textured coat from Simple Be which I think will work well and I'm expecting to get plenty more use out of it beyond the Christmas party.
Most of my jackets and coats for winter are heavy. chunky and very casual; I like this one because it is warm over the body and arms and yet it is phenomenally light weight. Perfect as a jacket over a dress when it's cold and chilly. The pockets are false which is a bit of a shame as I'd love to be able to dig my hands in there to keep warm. There is one big button across the front if you need to hold it closed but to me it feels more like the sort of jacket that you fold over yourself and snuggle up inside.
The reason I chose this as a party jacket from Simply Be is that I knew it would work well on numerous other occasions, not just Christmas party night. As a wintery wrap up over a pair of jeans it works perfectly and looks far less formal.
I've chosen to pair the jacket with a lace trim tunic which, worn with a pair of black leggings and heels could in itself be suitably smart for an office Christmas party. However, worn with a pair of jeans I think a long-sleeved top and jacket combo is a wonderful winter smart-casual look.
This lace-trimmed tunic top has lace-effect shoulders and arms but a solid block of fabric around the body. I've worn it with black jeggings or blue jeans. Now all I need to go with it is a pair of sparkly heels to complete the wintery look!
Disclosure: Simply Be sent me the jacket and coat so that I could share my own winter style.

What exactly is an alternative break? – An alternative break is a trip that engages a group of students in volunteer service and learning. Alternative break trips originated with college students in the early 1980s as a counter to "traditional" spring break trips. Trips typically have a focus on a particular social issue, such as (but not limited to) poverty, hunger and homelessness, education reform, health and wellness, immigration rights, and the environment. Students learn about the social issues and perform projects with local non-profit and community-base d organizations.
What does an alternative break look like? – Teams of approximately ten students will spend the week of March 22 to March 29 on three different trips in Oregon, Washington, and California. Teams will engage in pre-trip planning and orientation meetings and post-trip debriefing and reflection, a structure that promotes continuous learning through the emphasis on critical reflection and reciprocity.

Brian Ulaszewski: A Better Alley
Dec. 21, 2011 / By
Brian Ulaszewski. Photo courtesy of himself.
Having traveled across the world during his youth, Brian Ulaszewski settled in Long Beach where he has lived on and off for nearly two decades. He is an urban designer working on architecture and planning projects of all types and sizes. In his free time, he contributes to his community by trying to raise the level of discourse around urban design and planning. Brian also advocates for improvements to Long Beach's built environment, focusing on open space access, balanced mobility and quality urban design.
The following article is the first contribution to our Reader's Voice, our curated response section that brings professionals from the field to further the discussion on the work our Youth Journalists are making. Brian has written in response to Jesus Hernandez's Re-Imagining Alleys: Reclaiming The Space In Between.
Recently, Jesus Hernandez explored the current state of alleys in Long Beach and pondered whether there might be opportunity for alleys to have more than just a utilitarian function. Instead, alleys could become a place for recreation and social interaction, with art, landscaping and positive activity populating these oft-forgotten public spaces. The image Hernandez painted was both vivid and familiar to me. It recalled past urban hiking expeditions in other cities, where I discovered creative uses of alleys and wondered where similar opportunities might exist for Long Beach.
San Francisco is a well-known case of a city where a range of alleys have been repurposed as pedestrian spaces.Maiden Lane is an intimate alley which runs for two blocks east of Union Square, in the downtown area. The block furthest from Union Square provides circulation for cars, bikes, and pedestrians. Many stores use this block of the alley for service access, but it also acts as the point of entrée for several boutique shops and restaurants (including a couple art galleries). The block of Maiden Lane closest to Union Square is largely limited to pedestrians throughout the day, when large portions of the alley are used as outdoor dining space for swanky bistros.

On the opposite end of San Francisco's socioeconomic spectrum, but no less interesting and beautiful, is the guerilla transformation of a half-block long alley in the middle of the Tenderloin district. The Tenderloin National Forest was created through incremental do-it-yourself (DIY) landscape and public art projects by a local arts organization. Once an alley that was arguably the scariest dark corner of the roughest neighborhood in San Francisco, the Tenderloin National Forest has become a vibrant community oasis, complete with vegetable garden, cultural event space, and seating area, as well as beautiful murals, metalwork, and mosaics.

Back in Southern California, Pasadena has created vibrant public spaces from portions of alleys situated along the main commercial corridor, Colorado Boulevard. Towards the western end of the boulevard is One Colorado, a network of three intersecting alleys that have been rededicated to pedestrian use. Where they intersect at the center of the street block there is now a large courtyard, surrounded by restaurants with outdoor dining spilling onto the space. Events are regularly held in the central courtyard, including music, theater, and art exhibitions. Other revisioned alleys along Colorado Boulevard include Mercantile Place and Paseo Colorado, a formerly enclosed mall whose transformation harkens to the days when alleys were centrally for pedestrian use.
What can we learn from these examples in places like San Francisco and Pasadena? From the downtown area to the east side of the city and northward to Bixby Knolls, Long Beach has a dense network of service alleys. These alleys provide a range of creative opportunities in contexts ranging from commercial environments to residential neighborhoods. In wh the Central Area of Long Beach (between 7th Street and 17th Street, and from Rose Avenue to Alamitos Avenue), there are a dozen alley-courts with small California bungalows and Spanish Revival cottages flanking either side. Though only a few are designated landmark districts (specifically Toledo Walk, Brenner Place, and Minerva Court), these collections of single-family homes are largely historically intact.
In the historic Wilmore City neighborhood, just northwest of downtown, there are as many alleys as streets. Many residents use these alleys to access apartments, cottages and flats over garages; indeed, many postal addresses in this neighborhood list alleys, not street. As a result of this centrality of alleys to the Wilmore City area, it is not surprising that both the community and the city government has set about trying to improve them. This starts with basic maintenance, but there exists a framework to transform alleys in this area into beautiful lanes that could provide livability as well utilitarian access. Called the Courts and Ways in the Wilmore City Implementation Plan (PDF), the idea is to redesign many of the east-west alleys (the "Ways") and the north-south alleys (the "Courts") to include landscaping, public art, signage, social spaces and sustainable stormwater management facilities.

In the East Village district, we can see the finishing touches underway on a beautification project between Linden and Elm Avenue on Alta Way (an east-west alley that runs between Broadway and First Street). This project involves converting this section of Alta Way from vehicular use to pedestrian space. Landscaping is largely complete and large stone table and chairs have been set in place: all that remains to be done is installing public art in the form of a large mural. This project was wholly a community initiative, with financial support from the City's Neighborhood Services Bureau and Downtown Long Beach Association, along with whatever additional resources could be scraped together, and a lot of sweat equity. This certainly will not be a bad place to grab a coffee and relax on an afternoon.
These varied examples illustrate how alleys make up a significant portion of Long Beach's public right-of-way space, and there is value in viewing them as more than a home for forgotten mattresses and rusted clunker cars. With some foresight and investment, they can become living lanes, lush with landscaping and filled with art, extensions of bike and pedestrian networks as well as the city's public parks. It might take some vision to scratch away initial layers of grime, but we can find examples across California and beyond from which to draw inspiration.
