2020 senior advice column
"Did CPS's small community encourage, discourage, or not play a factor in the college process?"
10 people said they wanted a "smaller" school:
"I wanted to go to a smaller school particularly because I enjoyed my time at CPS. Now, I'm going to be going to a school with a little over 1,000/grade, and I'm super happy! I think the thing to remember is even though you may feel a little suffocated at CPS, or think that there aren't as many opportunities because of its size, ANY college will be bigger. Even the ones that are comparatively tiny. Think more about the individual opportunities and setbacks at bigger/smaller schools."
"I've always been really comfortable in smaller communities, and I usually do better academically with small class sizes and good teacher-to-student ratios. However, I also wanted to get some experience in larger schools because that simulates the "real world experience." I ended up choosing a college with about 6000 undergrads, so it's 'medium-sized.' Ultimately, what's important to remember is that any school is gonna feel bigger than CPS."
"Actually, I chose to go to a smaller school because I wanted something like what I found here at CPS. I think I had large schools ruined for me by bad experiences in the public school system, and CPS was a lovely break from that, so I looked to continue that streak."
5 people said they wanted a bigger school:
"Yes—I loved CPS for high-school, but I wanted a bigger environment for college, and that's part of the reason why I chose to apply only to universities as opposed to liberal arts colleges."
"After knowing everyone for 4 years I kinda wanted to go somewhere where I would be able to meet new people every day. I still didn't want a gigantic school, so I ended up applying to mid-sized schools (like 5,000-15,000). It wasn't as much of not wanting to 'redo' CPS, but more that I wanted to expand the number and type of people that I'm around, so it's not just the same people with similar backgrounds."
"In the beginning of the process, I primarily picked large schools that I knew would have a lot of school spirit. As the time went on, I added smaller schools. There are definitely advantages to both, but still, I want to go to a bigger school next year. I need more diversity of people (not just race but interests, socioeconomic backgrounds, etc.), because I feel like there's a lot more to learn from that."
"How did you decide what to major in?"
2 people said they used summer programs:
"I had the opportunity to go to a summer program that helped me realize the type of people I want to be surrounded by and how I work the most productively, so I pretty much decided the summer of the college process. If you have the chance and you're still a freshman or sophomore, you should experiment with your interests and use your breaks to discover what you're actually willing to study for the next four or five years of your life."
1 person said they have absolutely no idea and 6 people said they haven't declared a major, but they have an idea of what they're interested in:
"I haven't yet. You do not need to decide a major before applying to college. It is good, however, to have an idea of what you're interested in, and to emphasize that in your applications. I was inspired in my choice by my favorite classes at College Prep. I also wanted to find similar people to those that I found in [those classes] as I quickly realized that these are my people."
"I don't know yet! Most schools don't make you declare your major when you're applying, and you're generally only required to declare your major your sophomore year. You shouldn't think that a single major means a single path. Keep an open mind. I still didn't put 'undecided' for my major on my applications, though. Instead, when they ask me 'potential' majors, I put down some basic interests. It rounds you out and shows the college that you have some interests, some personhood. Colleges aren't expecting you to know everything and have it all planned out."
"Any weird nuances about classes that you wish you knew going into them?"
"Don't take classes to get into classes. Take classes you're actually interested in, even if they're a lot of work, because you'll be more engaged and happy in school."
"In senior year, it's hard to switch out of AP classes once you've joined them because you've sorta 'promised' that class to your college, and they might not like it if you change. Be careful about which AP classes you decide to take! Think about what you actually want to be doing in the second semester when senioritis hits."
"Do you actually hate talking about college?"
5 people answered no, saying they like talking about college and they don't like the secrecy/stigma:
"The only thing I hate is the stigma that shouldn't exist. I don't mind at all and I actually like talking about college, I just feel like other people don't like when I talk about college. Not sure if that's true or not, but it's definitely the vibe. That's something I wish would change."
"No, not at all! In fact, I wish people would talk more openly about it so it doesn't seem so scary when you are just starting out in the process. I love when my friends in younger grades ask me questions about the process. I definitely am not an expert, but I wish someone in an older grade would've been there for me the way I'm trying to be there for my younger friends. Pretending college apps don't exist just makes everyone more… anxious, so my hope is that this dynamic at CPS will start to fade away in the coming years."
8 people answered no, saying they like talking about college, but they are still sensitive to the person they are speaking to and the circumstance:
"Not really, actually. It helped me destress because it was like we're addressing the 'elephant in the room.' A couple of my friends felt the same, and other friends really didn't like talking about college. As long as you figure out who likes what and how to broach the topic of college if you ever want to, you should be fine.
"Not really, but that's mostly because I got super lucky with my college process… This is a big part of our future we're talking about, so if you're not sure where you're gonna end up yet, it's nerve-racking! Be very careful about approaching a senior about college: the experience is different for all of us."
"College is one of those things that is very particular to each student. Some people really don't like to talk about it, some love talking about it…. Throughout the process I actually found it really helpful and comforting to talk with my friends in a healthy way…. I think everyone should choose how they want to talk about it, while making sure to respect how/if other students choose to talk about it."
5 people answered yes, that they don't like talking about college:
"Honestly, yes… Everyone has a judgement and an opinion and it can really make you feel like **** when they take it upon themselves to share it with you. It can also be super stressful to talk about it constantly when it's already on your mind and weighing on you."
"It can be kind of uncomfortable. Not everyone is in the same situation. It's sort of like talking about grades. People have different ideas of what is 'good' or not and it ends up hurting others' feelings. I think talking about college is totally fine if it's with your friends that you're close with, but otherwise it can be weird."
"There was a point during the college process when I kind of did. It felt overwhelming to constantly hear 'ooh, X has legacy at X school' or 'X school is my second choice.' It's all about setting boundaries and being honest. My friends and I decided to make texting/online a College Free Zone, and decided to only rant/discuss college in person, when everyone agreed that they were comfortable with it. This worked well and I recommend it!"
"I only hate talking about it because I usually have to keep saying the same thing over and over, because all the questions are just coming from different family members."
5 people said that it depends:
"It's weird. I do really want to talk about the things I'm excited about, but I really don't want to seem as though I'm being conceited or bragging. It's nice when people are excited with me, but I hate it when people start trying to compare themselves to me or others. It just makes everyone involved feel uncomfortable and bad!"
"It depends. After I got deferred from my early school and people kept asking me where I was going to college, that was a bit of a sting every time. I would advise people not to ask such questions between December and March. But after I ended up getting into my early school later and a bunch of other places as well, I don't mind anymore. When people ask specific questions like "which college" during stressful periods of time, that can be unpleasant. However, I always found planning in broad terms with my friends about how we'd visit each other and how we'd stay in contact to be fun, even when I didn't know where I'd be."
"Can you share some advice about how to get accepted by top colleges?"
9 people critiqued the framework of the question, saying that you should pick a college you like rather than a "top" college that you might end up hating:
"This isn't really answering the question, but don't think about prestige as the only factor you should look at when applying to schools. You should look for schools that actually cater to your interests, rather than ones that people have heard of. You'll be a lot happier at an obscure school that you're excited about going to rather than a school that you only wanted to go to for the reputation."
10 people said that you shouldn't do things to fill up your resume—instead you should actually do what you are passionate about and develop those passions:
"I am a firm believer that you should spend your time doing things that you actually care about rather than doing things just to bulk up your resumé. That being said, really dive into your passions and interests, whether that be your sport or job or art. Colleges just want to see that you care about things and are an engaged person. Obviously apply yourself at school, but make sure that you have other things in your life and that you don't sink yourself too deeply into grades and schoolwork. That's just no fun."
"Be yourself. It's all random, at the end of the day. You could be rejected from a safety and get into your reach. You could get rejected from 7 safeties, and get into your reach (that's me). But if you make yourself seem like a real person, with real interests, and not just a high-GPA, high SAT/ACT robot with the long goal of getting into your 'top college,' then you might have more trouble. Also, spend time writing your essays. Have someone look over them. Make sure they are you, not someone you think you should be. Follow your heart."
4 people said that you should listen to Martin and Kate:
"Listen to Kate and Martin. Also, know that there's only so much of the college process you can actually control. There's a lot of luck involved in the admissions process, so judging your own merit based on where you get accepted, especially with regards to 'top colleges,' is not helpful."
1 person said, among other advice, to ED to the school you're interested in/interview:
"ED is also helpful, because, as you will hear from colleges again and again, they REALLY value demonstrated interest (showing your commitment to the school), and ED is probably the most extreme version of demonstrating your interest. Also, do interviews! They help the college get to know you in ways your essays can't fully communicate."
2 people said you should focus on essays/applications:
"This kinda goes for any college but really think critically about your essays while you write them. It's super easy to just write the essay in the 20 minutes before your Kate meeting, but you're not gonna end up with a good product. If you do just write it right before the meeting, make sure you go back and do some edits on the actual content to make sure they are actually good."
"It might sound horrible, but don't be afraid to really sell yourself on your applications. All of you are talented individuals, so find ways to showcase that! Use your essays to let admissions officers know what you're passionate about and who you are beyond just your stats. It's not bragging; college apps are about being honest about your strengths. If you feel like there is nothing special about you, Kate and Martin are always there to help you uncover potential essay topics. Sometimes, something you think is completely ordinary can be transformed into an amazing essay."
2 people said they don't know because the process is unpredictable.
"What was the most challenging part of the college process for you?"
1 person said worrying about the future:
"The whole writing part wasn't that bad… The testing was annoying and kind of felt like a waste of time. But honestly, the worst part of the whole college process was just mentally processing that your time at high school is going to be over soon and you're going to have to start worrying about the future."
4 people said writing so many essays:
"Writing the supplements was pretty difficult for me. Yes, there are quite a few of them, but for the most part, it was because I had a hard time believing that my stories were interesting or special enough to stand out. I disliked the perceived blandness of everything I wrote until I finally took the time to find meaning in my activities and interests for my sake, and not for the college process. Once I actually understood why my passions were important to me, my writing flowed more easily, and I had material that I was proud to share."
"Getting started on the essays. Once you have an idea of how to answer it doesn't take too much time to get them finished, but some of the questions are so vague or just strange that I didn't know where to start."
3 people said time management:
"I struggled with juggling regular school work, college applications, and spending time with family/friends. I also had to think critically about what path I wanted to take in my life, whether I wanted to move away from my family for school, or what exactly I wanted to pursue (or even just a vague idea about a profession that interested me). I had to think about how I wanted to use my one shot at life, and what could make my life meaningful."
"Getting applications in on time. I'm a procrastinator by nature, and I thought I was fine when I glanced over various applications beforehand to see how much work would need to be done to get them finished. DO NOT DO THIS!!! A good proportion of the time, colleges will ask for some form of supplemental material Kate and Martin won't have prepared you for, especially if the application for the college is not covered by the Common App. Get on your applications as soon as you can, because the quicker you get them done, the less stressed you will be about them."
1 person said the inequities of school system:
"For me, it was the overwhelming realization of the inequalities and inequities of the college system in the US. It can be really difficult to learn that you are at a disadvantage because of money, parents' level of education, and many other issues. Something that really helped me was talking with anyone about these structural inequalities and how they affected me personally. I talked to Sara LC, my friends, and my family. I highly recommend reaching out if you are going through the same stress. It makes everything feel a lot more manageable."
4 people said they found all the options challenging to sift through:
"All the options. Everywhere seems so magical, you're gonna want to go to all of them, but you're allowed to be picky. There are thousands of colleges, and you're only going to one. If you don't like a place but still think it could mayyyybe be cool? Throw it out."
5 people said their biggest college-process challenge was surrounding their Early Decision college:
"Taking fall semester final exams the day after being deferred from my early school, when nearly all my friends had gotten into theirs was really tough. If this happens to you, tell yourself that you have to be a superhero and overcome whatever odds and it'll all work out, because it will."
"You'll get through it, I promise. I look back now and think, wow, that was kinda easy! It definitely wasn't. In the beginning, the hardest part was picking my ED. Martin did not think I'd get in, and I didn't think I'd get in, but I really loved the school and it felt wrong not to try and apply. I did apply, and no, I didn't get in. But I don't regret that choice a bit. I think the days before that, expecting that decision was really hard. When I actually got rejected I was completely fine, honestly, but I couldn't help but think 'ugh, now I have to go and apply to all these other schools, meanwhile my friends are done!'"
"Honestly, the waiting after submitting my ED in September and then waiting until December when I was accepted. You are sort of just left to sit there anxiously because there's nothing left for you to do."
1 person found it hard to lower their 'middle school standards:'
"I think middle school me set standards that were way too high for myself (aka Stanford and all of the Ivies). Coming to terms with the fact that these schools were out of reach was disappointing. Once I started researching other colleges though, I realized how many great alternatives there were that actually fit me better as both a student and person, so everything worked out :)"
1 person struggled with talking about college with their family members:
"Talking about it constantly with family members and strangers. It's so draining and can really mess with your head. Also choosing an essay topic was kind of difficult, but that really varies from person to person."
"What will you miss most about CPS?"
15 people said they would miss the community, the people, their friends, or teachers:
"I'm gonna miss the people so much. That includes faculty, students, staff, parents??? It's crazy but now that I've started talking to people from my college and branching out, I've really realized how special all the CPS people are. I mean everyone here is so respectful and kind and welcoming, which isn't easy to find. So just being around all the wonderful people is gonna be a big thing that I'll miss."
"The people! I have found that people here are truly so kind and passionate and welcoming and wonderfully weird and I live for the conversations I have with friendly acquaintances during passing periods. The teachers are also all exceptional human beings and truly care about us all and I'm really going to miss chatting with them after class and during free periods."
1 person said they'll miss how low-risk everything is:
"Everything is so low-risk. You don't realize it until you're a senior, and maybe until you're a second semester senior. You won't ever find another place where you can try out for a sport, write for the newspaper, try dance, a play, or try volunteer opportunities just because you want to. I think about that a lot. At other schools you have to apply and compete, but here you can just try out something. If it's not for you, give it up. There are so many underutilized resources. Also, the people, of course. I adore my friends. But I can't say I'll miss them, because I'm sure I'll stay in touch. I don't really feel like I'm saying good-bye to them, you know?"
Also, this:
"The teachers! Sunny days on the music lawn! The wisteria!" (one other person also said they'll miss the flowers blooming)
"Seeing people every day, like my friends and Janice. I'll miss you Janice!! Someone send this to her."
"The excitement of finding hot Cheetos in the vending machine, sitting outside on the music lawn when it's finally warm enough, and my friends :)"
"How has CPS changed you as a person?"
3 people said CPS made them more confident:
"That's a big question. I'd say the biggest way I've changed at CPS is that my confidence has grown a lot … I'm more likely to speak up in class now than I used to be, because I'm less afraid of judgment if I get something wrong."
"I can do things now. Sounds stupid, but freshman year, everything was so intimidating. There are like four things that I currently am the leader or a member of that I remember sort of scoffing at when I was a freshman and thinking 'I'd never do that.' I have a lot more confidence now, I'm a deeper thinker. Also, I'm just more myself. I'm not ashamed to tell people my opinions, or the TV shows/music I like—kind of stupid things, it's true, but it means a lot that I can at the way I am now and think that I'm telling the truth about my interests and my likes and dislikes. It's really refreshing."
Other assorted responses:
"1) CPS made me less confident in many ways. Because I'm constantly surrounded by so many talented and smart people, I have found that I often doubt whether I am smart and special enough to truly belong."
2) I found my voice. … . especially, in the last year, I seized opportunities available at CPS to get my voice. I am thankful that our community is so open and supportive of people finding their voice, and it has definitely changed my life for the better."
"I think that the biggest thing is that I learned how to think critically and evaluate situations from many different angles, which has been so useful in so many ways in my life. I feel ready to have big and deep conversations and to collaborate with others and exchange ideas, which I know will serve me in college and beyond."
"Biggest regret/missed opportunity at CPS?"
4 people regretted not spending enough time with friends:
"My biggest regret is not spending more time with friends. Especially in junior and senior year, I spent a lot of time spreading myself too thin—doing homework, too many club meetings, etc.—and I missed out on a lot of time that I could have spent with friends."
4 people wished they had talked to more people in the grade and branched out.
"I wish I had talked to more people in my grade. Once people settled into friend groups things seemed kind of set, so I didn't really hang out with people outside of my group too much, which I really regret because there are so many cool and amazing people all around you and so little time."
"Not going to enough sports games. I only really started second semester junior year, and I realized how much fun they are. People don't go often enough!!! And it's so awesome to watch your classmates do something they love and cheer them on."
"1) Partners, I think it would have been a cool experience to be able to serve the community like that; there just wasn't ever time in my schedule.
2) Men's shelter, for the same reason as Partners.
3) I kind of isolated myself sometimes and wasn't very outgoing in trying to hangout with friends. I wish I had been more active socially."
"Playing another sport, probably."
"Did you get excited about college once you decided on where you were going/got into schools?"
1 person responded "no." 1 person had not made a decision yet.
17 people responded "yes," most with a great deal of enthusiasm:
"Because the period of time for making college decisions spans almost five months and people get news at different times, my excitement didn't really kick in until all my friends also knew where they were going."
"Once I got accepted in December, I was still kind of shell-shocked and it took me about a week to process that I got into my dream school. Something that really helped me get excited was researching majors, classes, dorms, and campus traditions. Then I was overjoyed and couldn't wait! Although, I will mention that I continue to go through phases where I start preemptively missing CPS, California, and my friends. It's totally normal to be split between excitement for leaving and sadness, too."
"I did. I didn't think I was going to get into any more than one of my five choices. I celebrated each acceptance letter, and I have celebrated my final decision recently with the same excitement. It's been a rollercoaster of emotions through the whole process, and I think you should celebrate as much as you can because it's a big deal! Feel free to be excited about it."
"Yes! It feels real, for the first time ever. It feels nice to finally have some pride in a place. It also feels nice to be wanted by a school."
"Oh yeah. When I first opened my decision letters, I kind of trained myself to not have an emotional response, whether it was good news or bad news. So it took awhile for the euphoria to kick in because I kind of reacted like 'Oh. Nice.' or 'Oof.' but once I committed and started talking to other people from my school, I got super excited. I still am!"
"How can I deal with stress and anxiety during the school year, when I don't have as much time to try new hobbies?"
3 people advised to take it day by day and enjoy the little things:
":( I'm really sorry that that's happening for you. Unfortunately, there are a lot of moments when school and work gets kind of suffocating. I'm not sure what specifically about school depressed you, but for me, school and the expectations to get good grades and do well were always these looming stressors and it all felt like a responsibility I'd never escape. What worked for me was I kind of made my perspective smaller. Take each day one day at a time, celebrate when you get through each assignment."
"I have gone through lots of periods of feeling the same way, and first, I'm really sorry that this is happening to you. Something small that ended up helping me a lot was focusing on really little things that I could easily control and use to bring joy back into my life. While it can be hard to fully commit to hobbies and fun activities during the school year, focusing on these small things was actually super wonderful. But, of course, working towards finding happiness is a difficult, rollercoaster-esque process that requires some less fun work, too. Reaching out to the school counselor has been instrumental for me. Sometimes you do honestly need that support to get you back to a baseline level of okay-ness. I believe in you and hope that things become easier for you (I'm sure they will <3)."
"Make a plan for yourself long term/get into an academic routine. You should allot a certain amount of time for your studies, a certain extracurriculars, and for having fun and relaxing."
5 people advised giving yourself breaks and prioritizing spending time with friends:
"I've realized I should allocate my time and energy into things that will actually benefit me. So, instead of studying excessively for that upcoming math quiz, maybe I'll just study a little bit and then hang out with my family. I don't want to remember high school by the long nights or tedious study sessions. I want to remember the experiences and people that shaped me. It's difficult to deal with the stress of school, but I always remember my larger goals. I'm pursuing an education for a reason, and I can't stop now."
Two people advised incorporating those hobbies into your school life/school year:
"Maybe bring one of those new hobbies to school as a common classroom or at lunch or a club, or just to show your friends? I also found hanging out with friends and telling them about when I was stressed out was a comfort."
"As to how you [can] 'be happy,' unfortunately, there is no straightforward answer. Things differ from person to person, and what works for me won't necessarily be what works for you. However, you can adjust your life outside of school to be more helpful. As an example, you mentioned hobbies in your question, my suggestion would be to start engaging in those hobbies during the school year if you aren't already, keeping the thing that gives you joy during your break as a consistent through the school year. Because at the very least, if the hobbies then start to add to those bad feelings, the hobbies are something you have control over whether you engage in them or not."
8 people advised talk to a trusted adult like Rose, Sara LC, or an out-of-school counselor:
"That is totally normal! I spent a lot of my sophomore and junior year in a really similar situation. What helped me was getting a counselor outside of school with whom I could confidently talk about my anxiety. She helped me strategize so that my entire life wasn't consumed by CPS, and we made a schedule that mandated that I spend my Friday and Saturday nights with my partner and my friends. Being on the other side of this situation, I now realize what I was missing was balance, and I was so much happier after I took her advice."
"If it really is getting to a really bad point and you feel like you can't cope with this alone anymore, go speak to your advisor and to Rose/Sara LC. It may seem stressful, but these people are here to help you specifically… The school provides a very good support network and they want to see you thrive here—we're not a cram school for that reason. I hope this somewhat helps you, and I really hope that you can get through this low you're in, because I promise things only get better."
"How do I get into college?"
3 people advised listening Martin and Kate:
"Listen to Martin/Kate (but ask them questions/suggest things when you want to try something else), and finish your writing/researching as soon as possible."
9 people said you should just be yourself, pursue what makes you happy, and not worry–you'll get into college:
"Be yourself, and pursue what makes you happy. You'll match with the college that will help you do that."
"Everyone at CPS is going to get into college, don't worry about that. At the very worst, you'll end up in a school that wasn't your top choice, but is still one you could see yourself going to and enjoying."
"Do what you love and do it as well as you can, rather than doing what you think will get you into college. However, you are a CPS student and you will get into an excellent college no matter what you do, so don't worry about that. Really, there are so many excellent colleges in this country and the world and everyone from College Prep will get into one."
"You will get into college. There are so many incredible colleges out there, and there are countless schools that would be beyond lucky to have a student like you enroll at them. All you can do (and all you need to do) is to do your best and not compare yourselves to your peers. I know it's hard, but you are all on your own path. Everything will work out, just trust in the process and BREATHE :)"
"Is first semester senior year the last grades that matter for colleges?"
The 11 people who responded to this question answered in essentially the same way:
"Mostly, but don't let your grades drop too much in second semester, especially if you have a merit scholarship."
"To an extent. They are the last grades colleges see before making their admission decision, so they are the last ones that get you admitted or rejected. However, if your grades drop off significantly in the second semester, schools can rescind your admission. Basically, you can take it easy in the second semester, but don't completely stop working."
"How bad is the senioritis of senior year second semester?"
10 people responded that it was pretty bad, but some responded that it was a "fun" kind of bad and some said it was still stressful (some also specified that this effect was likely magnified by COVID-19):
"If you just deal with it like you would deal with a small child then it's a lot easier to monitor. So basically, give yourself incentives to do work and you can get it done.
"It really depends on every person. For me, I got pretty bad senioritis, and honestly… I feel pretty good. I am still learning and participating, but just taking a break from the crazy stress that comes with working super, duper hard."
6 people responded that it isn't too bad
"[It] depends on your work ethic, and how interested you are in your classes."
"How much expansion of social circles generally happens senior year compared to other years?"
7 people said they didn't see too much expansion in their close circles. Many said they did become much closer to both their immediate friends and people they became better acquainted with:
"People generally talk to their closest friends more than anyone else, but that's not cliquey, that's just how friends work. What does happen is that by senior year everyone in the class basically knows each other, so they are able to talk, crack jokes, and spend time with people besides their closest friends."
6 people also added that they mostly saw friend groups shift between sophomore and junior year.
5 people said that their friend groups (or people they are talking to) have expanded:
"I've met some of my closest friends senior year and felt a lot closer to my class."
"It definitely felt easier to reach out to people that I hadn't talked to as much because we all knew that we didn't have much time left together…"
2 people said that friend groups become smaller in senior year:
"From looking at my own friend groups and other seniors around me, most groups actually shrink or split. It's sad, but smaller groups definitely become tighter knit and it also makes you (at least it did for me) much more comfortable with them. When the friend group was so big, I wasn't all that close with anyone and I was always a little closed off, but now that I have a smaller group I've for sure opened up more."
"Any advice on ranking colleges if we only have a vague idea of what we want to major/focus on?"
9 people recommended evaluating the "general feel" of students/community
5 people recommended evaluating the location
4 people recommended evaluating the size
3 people recommended evaluating the core values of the college
3 people recommended evaluating the "vibe." (things that make you smile, unique classes, and people).
3 people recommended evaluating the school's curriculum offerings (i.e., does the school have an open curriculum or does it have required classes that everyone must take?)
2 people recommended imagining what it would actually be like going there for the next four years.
1 person recommended evaluating gender ratios.
1 person recommended evaluating teacher/student ratios.
1 person recommended evaluating diversity
1 person recommended evaluating dorms
Some other helpful recommendations students offers for evaluating a college:
Looking at student-run blogs, school newspapers, "school traditions" page of the college website, virtual tours, and reaching out to current or former students.
Also, this trick:
"Put aside your real world colleges for a moment, and come up with your ideal theoretical college and write down a list of its attributes, make sure you have at least 5. Then, once you have your lists of traits for your ideal college, take your real world colleges, and rank them on a scale of 1-10 for each trait from your ideal theoretical college, 1 being not that trait at all, and 10 being exactly that trait. Then add up your points and you will see which college gets closest to your ideal college. Another good one, especially when you come down to your last few choices is to roll dice or flip a coin, after assigning each side or number with a college. Now obviously, the roll is stupid and you decide off only a dice role, but when you do roll it, whatever answer you get, you will have a gut emotional reaction to that roll of whether that was a good or bad roll. That, theoretically, should help you decide once you know what you are hoping to get."
"What do you do if you fail a really important test?"
The thirteen people who responded to this question recommended meeting with the teacher, seeing if you could retake the test, make it up with extra credit, and work on strategies for the next test.
"Stick by yourself, don't beat yourself up. It's one impossibly tiny blip in your life, which is huge and exciting. You won't remember this test in 10 years. Academically, try to meet with your teacher and go through each thing that you missed with them. This can be kind of stressful, so I find it helpful to look up some of the core ideas that I missed ahead of time, and then bring them to my meeting to show my teacher that I really care about improvement! They'll respect you a lot for that."
"It sucks at first, but turning bad grades into learning opportunities is a lot better in the long run. Usually material you miss shows up on the final, so you should always try to do corrections to learn it properly."
"How do you set up a meeting with Rose or Sara if you're really awkward and shy like me???"
The majority of people recommended sending her an email:
"It always feels super daunting to admit that you want some help/support, but… email is a great way to set it up and you can literally say: 'Hi Rose, I was wondering if we could have a meeting sometime. My free period is X. When works for you? Thanks, Student' Rose has no expectations of you and there is no wrong way to have a meeting or anything that you have to tell her or talk about. You get to decide what you want and what you feel comfortable with, so no pressure at all!"
"Email her! I met with Sara last semester for the very first time in my whole four years at CPS because I'm also awkward and shy! It was really helpful and less scary than I expected."
3 people also suggested asking a PHIRE senior, a trusted friend/adult, or an advisor to set up a meeting for you.
Also, you can go to the student portal > Resources > Student Support Services > Counseling and Student Support > appointments, or access here.
Everyone emphasized that both Rose and Sara LC are really kind, welcoming, and 100% here to support you.
"What factored into your choice of college?"
Responses included: size, location, traditional campus feel, research money (financial aid offerings, presumably),"vibes," people, arts, faculty, open curriculum, average class size, proximity to relatives, food, opportunities for my interests/major, weather, culture, clubs, professors, similarity to CPS, former CPS students' college advice, and help from Martin.
"Was CPS the right choice for you? Do you ever regret choosing CPS?"
3 people said they had contemplated leaving or wondered if they made the right choice, but they said they are all glad they didn't leave.
"I never contemplated leaving, but I did wonder if I'd made the right decision. I was wondering if I had gone to a bigger school would I be better off academically. At the end of the day, I may have had a couple more "A"s than I did at CPS, but I wouldn't have gotten nearly as good of an education."
All 15 people who responded to this question said no, they didn't regret going to CPS:
"I have learned so much about myself and what it means to work hard for something…I also met some of the most wonderful people while at CPS and that made my entire experience so worth it.
"CPS pushed me academically of course, but CPS also pushed me to 1) discover who I am and 2) be authentic to my identity. Whether that was coming out or not falling into groupthink dynamics, CPS made me feel more comfortable being me."
"What's the biggest/most important thing you learned during your time at CPS?"
6 people said that they "learned who their people are," found a "deeper and more profound love for the people around [them]," and learned to be open-minded about meeting new people.
3 people said that they learned how to be genuinely and proudly themselves.
Others said:
"Hard work pays off. "
"Be mindful of others."
"Do what you love, not what you feel obligated to do."
"Make sure to check in with your friends if they seem upset, or even if they don't seem upset. I've become a lot more aware of both my mental health and the mental health of those around me while at College Prep… If you're feeling a bit lost, reach out to someone! The College Prep community is there to support you."
"Take every opportunity you are given and then some. Go out of your way to make yourself available for experiences, and offer your abilities for things you have never learned how to do before. Nothing teaches you how to do something better than learning it under the pressure of wanting to get it perfect. Create new things, or improve the old."
"Take risks, be interesting, have opinions and share them… This is the time for happy accidents, so try things and if they don't work out, think of it as learning."
"Don't be competitive."
"It's okay to not fall radically-left wing on the political spectrum…. be confident in your beliefs, but also don't be close-minded to other people's opinions, too! Political open dialogue is everything, so don't be afraid to step outside of your comfort zone politically."
"You don't have to be perfect all the time and it is good to ask for help…"
"Any other advice you think people should know?"
"Get your driver's license as early as you can."
"Enjoy your time here! It goes by so quickly, so make the most of it :)"
"BE KIND TO PEOPLE because it feels so much better for you and for them. Also, do what you want!!!! Don't do anything for college or to please other people. Focus on things that bring you joy, and make time for those things. Lastly, school is not everything. It's very easy to get wrapped up in school and doing well and getting into a good college, but a lot of times that takes the fun out of everything. Enjoy your friends and hobbies because you won't be here, at CPS, forever."
"Don't worry so much about getting into college, it will happen and you'll get into a great one."
"Make sure you watch the sunset from a high vantage point at school at least once in your time here. It's one of the most beautiful sights if you catch it on the right day. (Join drama or drama tech, it will be your best opportunity to do so.)"

November 2014 – Warrington Wildlife Artist Wins Association Award
15th November 2014 6th February 2015
Warrington wildlife artist Anita Young was presented with the very first Inaugural Chairman's Award by the Association of Animal Artists (AAA) at their Annual Dinner in Wrightington, near Wigan, in November. Anita lives in Stockton Heath and paints and teaches from her studio at Higher Whitley. Anita is a painter of the natural world whose work is influenced first and foremost by her deep love of nature. She has an all-consuming passion for wolves, is a dedicated supporter of wild wolf conservation, and promotes the cause at every opportunity through her paintings, workshops, demonstrations and talks.
Anita being presented with her award
The Association of Animal Artists was founded in 2009 to offer opportunities and support to animal artists who have already attained a level of expertise and experience, whether as amateurs or professionals, and who wish to promote and exhibit their artwork and further progress their skills. But the aims of the Association are much broader than that, as Julie Cross, current Chair explains –
"We also want to look beyond the artwork and see what our art can do – it truly is art with a purpose. AAA exhibitions openly support our animal welfare and wildlife conservation charity partners by giving charitable donations, but we do so much more. AAA members also have a valuable role in not only supporting these charities (and their own chosen causes), but in giving voice to the issues they promote, raising public awareness and helping us to celebrate and also preserve the animal kingdom that inspires our art – and that really is special."
The Inaugural Chairman's Award was conceived as a means of recognising the achievements of an up-and-coming member artist who exemplifies the founding principles of the Association and who has raised the profile of animal art through their work during the past 12 months. As the first recipient of the award, Anita was commended for her sterling work in a number of areas of artistic endeavour and activity this year – for her support of wolf conservation, contributing a percentage of proceeds from sales of painting prints and raising awareness through the narrative painting 'Glowing Embers of Ice'; for her support of local community projects via donations to the Warrington Wolves Charitable Foundation from sales of her previous work 'Spirit of the Pack'; for her teaching of animal art to individuals and groups; for her participation in numerous art fairs, markets, and demonstration days promoting animal art, and in several AAA exhibitions including their flagship Annual Exhibition which takes place each spring at Castle Park Arts Centre, Frodsham.
Anita with her painting and the award
Anita was presented with her award, which includes a year's subscription to The Artist magazine, by the Inaugural Chairman herself – Anne Corless, one of the original founders and Chair of the Association for four years until 2013. Anita expressed her sincere thanks to Anne and the panel of judges for selecting her for this award – "It is wonderful to have the recognition of the Association and makes all the hard work of this last 12-18 months so much more worthwhile. There are lots of exciting new projects already developing on the horizon for 2015. The award has given a boost to my motivation to move forward with renewed confidence – and reassurance that I am travelling in the right direction".
Anita's latest work, 'Glowing Embers of Ice', will be on display at the Castle Park Open Exhibition in Frodsham which runs until 4th January 2015.

Hemingway story from 1956 published for first time
Hemingway...
NEW YORK (AP) - The themes and trappings are familiar for an Ernest Hemingway narrative: Paris, wartime, talk of books and wine and the scars of battle.
But the story itself has been little known beyond the scholarly community for decades: "A Room on the Garden Side," written in 1956, is being published for the first time. The brief, World War II-era fiction appears this week in the summer edition of The Strand Magazine, a literary quarterly which has released obscure works by Raymond Chandler, John Steinbeck and others.
"Hemingway's deep love for his favorite city as it is just emerging from Nazi occupation is on full display, as are the hallmarks of his prose," Strand Managing Editor Andrew F. Gulli wrote in an editorial note.
Kirk Curnutt, a board member of The Hemingway Society, contributed an afterword for the Strand, saying that "the story contains all the trademark elements readers love in Hemingway."
"Steeped in talk of Marcel Proust, Victor Hugo, and Alexandre Dumas, and featuring a long excerpt in French from Charles Baudelaire's 'Les Fleurs du Mal,' the story implicitly wonders whether the heritage of Parisian culture can recover from the dark taint of fascism," Curnutt wrote.
War was a longtime muse for Hemingway. He served as an ambulance driver during World War I, drawing upon his experiences for his classic novel "A Farewell to Arms." The Spanish Civil War inspired his novel "For Whom the Bell Tolls." He was both soldier and correspondent during World War II and was on hand in Paris in August 1944 for the liberation from Nazi occupation, described by the author in reports published soon after by Collier's magazine.
"A Room on the Garden Side" takes place in the Ritz hotel (Hemingway liked to say that he liberated the Ritz bar) and is narrated by a Hemingway stand-in called Robert who shares the author's own nickname - Papa. Robert and his entourage drink wine, quote from Baudelaire and debate "the dirty trade of war."
"I did it to save the lives of people who had not hired out to fight," the narrator explains. "There was that and the fact that I had learned to know and love an infantry division and wished to serve it in any useful way I could.
"I also loved France and Spain next to my own country. I loved other countries too but the debt was paid and I thought that the account was closed, not knowing the accounts are never closed."
Hemingway left numerous works unpublished at the time of his suicide, in 1961. "A Moveable Feast," his celebrated memoir on Paris in the 1920s, came out three years after his death. Other posth
Hemingway left numerous works unpublished at the time of his suicide, in 1961. "A Moveable Feast," his celebrated memoir on Paris in the 1920s, came out three years after his death. Other posthumous Hemingway books include the novels "The Garden of Eden" and "Islands in the Stream, and "The Dangerous Summer," a nonfiction account of bullfighting.
Hemingway wrote other World War II stories over the last decade of his life. In August 1956, he told publisher Charles Scribner Jr. that he had completed five: "A Room on the Garden Side," ''The Cross Roads," ''Indian Country and the White Army," ''The Monument," and "The Bubble Reputation." Until now, only "The Cross Roads" had been widely seen.
"I suppose they (the stories) are a little shocking since they deal with irregular troops and combat and with people who actually kill people," Hemingway told Scribner. "Anyway, you can always publish them after I'm dead."

Shell Nigeria's Afam VI Power Plant in Rivers State has delivered over 20million Megawatt-hour (MWh) of electricity into the Nigerian grid between its inauguration in 2008 and June 2015, thereby consolidating its position as a leading contributor to the country's grid generation.
The operations at Afam VI plant have also led to subcontract opportunities and employment for over 150 Nigerians from the 16 host communities.
The milestone 20million MWh of electricity is equivalent to 24-hour power supply to over one million residential consumers or nearly 180,000 medium-sized commercial enterprises for six years. It is also worth six years of 24-hour power supply to Port Harcourt city alone!
The power plant was built by the Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria (SPDC) Ltd Joint Venture and achieved first power in August 2008 about three years after the contract was awarded.
Located at Okoloma village in Oyigbo Local Government, the plant has an installed capacity of 650MW and consists of three gas turbines each rated at 150MW, and one steam turbine rated at 200MW. The gas turbines were inaugurated in July 2009, while the steam turbine came on stream in December 2010. The plant receives gas from SPDC's gas plant, also at Okoloma.
Built on the best technology in the industry and utilising waste heat energy in the gas turbine exhaust gas, the additional 200MW from the steam turbine considerably reduces the plant's carbon footprint.
As a Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) project under the United Nations Executive Board for Climate Change, the Afam VI Power Plant eliminated over 500,000 tons of CO2 emissions per year, while also maintaining excellent safety standards. The plant could not, however, deliver nearly 5 million MWh due to gas supply disruptions from crude theft and pipeline vandalism.
Aside from the over 150 jobs created by the SPDC JV through the Afam VI operations, the integrated energy giant has also provided hands-on and offshore training for 15 youths in Electrical, Mechanical and Instrumentation engineering on Combined Cycle Power Plant operations and maintenance. All the trainees are already employed in the Nigerian power industry. Arrangements have been concluded for the training of another 15 community youths.


Battle Theme is where it's at!
So it's on in Manchester this Saturday, definitely getting myself to that.
Went to see The Chamber this afternoon. Hardly going to make the history books but it's an effective, claustrophobic little thriller, enjoyed it.
Noticed in the credits James was credited along with Loz Williams, Dave Eringa and Mylene, and Faster Studios. Director said he was a Manics fan and found it strange to be giving musical directions to James, and that the soundtrack would be released eventually.
So... How was the music?
The soundtrack is out on CD next month!
Nice! Thanks for that. Looks like the film itself is out on DVD and Blu-ray next month too.
This could be the most avantgarde thing ever released by a Manic!
Only just saw what the trailer is about.
I think Desert or Depths could be a Game Show.
Makes more sense from the bits of music (That wasn't the standard trailer suspense music) as to why they picked James. An orchestra would sound too big for an enclosed film setting. So who better than JDB?
At the end of the trailer I got Pink Floyd fused with Prisoner Cell Block H cliffhanger flanged sound.

Miracle Theatre donates $100K to local charity
by admin|Published April 8, 2020
Miracle Theatre's Anne Laughlin and Ted Price are donating $106,265.04 to the Community Foundation's Children of Prince George fund.
Anne Laughlin and Ted Price announced today that Miracle Theatre has just made its biggest donation ever to a local charity. The professional theatre's recent production of The Birds and The Bees raised $106,265.04 for The Children of Prince George Fund.
"It means a lot to us it's now that Miracle Theatre's efforts have been especially fruitful," said Producer Anne Laughlin. "With the present health crisis there are some hard times ahead. We know the funds will be put to good use by local charities helping children in need."
The fund is for children dealing with serious difficulties involving such things as health, neglect, abuse, and sufficient food.
The Children of Prince George Fund is an endowment under the trusteeship of the Prince George Community Foundation. The foundation asked Miracle Theatre to establish the fund in 2019 by donating last year's production of "Halfway There." That play launched the endowment with a donation of $84,036.45.
Price and Laughlin decided to also donate this year's production of "The Birds and The Bees" to the Community Foundation with the goal of increasing the Children's Fund to at least $150,000. Price, director and designer of the productions said, "we felt that goal was achievable but never dared hope to exceed it by over $40,000. With every production it comes home to us what a remarkably supportive and generous town this is."
As well as community support, the two long-time theatre professionals attribute the success of the project to several additional factors. They believe the script and cast were especially strong with the play being extended twice for a total of 28 performances. In 2017 Price and Laughlin were hired by Victoria Playhouse on Prince Edward Island to direct and stage manage "The Birds and the Bees."
"We had already 'field tested' the script and were sure it would speak to our Prince George audiences," said Price. "And for our production we made the extra investment of hiring from all across Canada to put together the strongest cast we could find."
Laughlin and Price also give a lot of credit to the theatre's team of Prince George volunteers. Although all of the performing arts have a volunteer component they believe it is rare to get people as capable and committed as those who have rallied around Miracle Theatre. "These people are exceptional," said Laughlin. "It's uncanny how many of them could have made a career of what they do for us if they had wanted to."
Since 2016 Miracle Theatre has donated a total of $334,669 to Prince George Charities including Northern BC's Breast Cancer Clinic, Salvation Army Food Bank, United Way, Prince George Community Foundation and The Children of Prince George Fund. Price and Laughlin are now planning their next production.

Cambridge University Australian Rules Football Club (CUARFC, also known as the Lions), founded in the early 20th century, is the Australian rules football club for Cambridge University. Both men's and women's teams represent the club in the National University League, the Fitzpatrick Cup, and the annual Varsity Match against Oxford, among other things.

History
The club has been active for over 100 years, with the first recorded men's game against Oxford taking place on March 18, 1911. The women's game has developed more recently, with the first women's varsity match in 2018 ending in a tie.

The 90th Varsity match was the subject of a short ABC documentary.

The connection between the university and the sport in fact stretches much further back to when Tom Wills, one of the founders of the game, studied there (seemingly to be more concerned about playing cricket than academics), then returning to Australia to set up the Melbourne Football Club.

Club record

Varsity match results

Membership & organisation
Membership of the club is not restricted to Cambridge University students or staff, although a significant proportion of the club would fall into these groups. The club naturally has a large Australian membership, as well as many Irish players, due to the similarity of the game to Gaelic football.

Players have a wide range of sporting backgrounds, ranging from having not played much sport at all, to having played Australian rules previously for a large part of their lives.

The club is managed by a committee, elected annually, consisting of the President, Treasurer, and other responsible people.

The club also has strong ties with the North London Lions, and a handful of players have ended up playing for both teams.

While in Poison Canyon we observed multiple crowns on North Facing slopes (sorry no photos as all crowns were at a distance). We estimated these crowns to be 1m in height and 20 - 40 meters in width.
We then dug a pit on the south facing slope. Results were two CTEs 35cm from the surface on a mid-storm density change. Then two CTMs @77cm that broke on an old suncrust (visable in the photo) An ECT resulted in a sudden collape at 14 on this same layer. I would describe the snowpack in the Bear Valley area as unstable at this time.

The complex data processes that are essential for running the "Internet of Things", for control processes in infrastructure regulation and in digital production are based on programme code that provides structure and controls algorithms.
Algorithms are not neutral. They are consistently based on the ethical premises and control objectives of their programmers, who generally remain shut off from those who are affected by them. The more tasks society outsources entirely or partially to (entirely or partially) automated systems and the more sensitive (in regards to personal information) the spheres in which the self-learning systems become involved and feed information into the data processing, the more urgent the question of the (constitutional) legal limits of its use, of suitable control methods and of state organisational structures to keep the technical possibilities within the scope of what is beneficial and acceptable for the common good. Delegating these continually further-reaching decisions about more and more complexly configured, non-transparent and autonomously acting systems brings the threat of serious loss of control if there is insufficient risk prevention. Proper Big Data regulation therefore requires effective algorithm control.
Effective algorithm control requires a basic understanding of the technical functional relationships and the consideration of legal, ethical and economic points of view.
Delegating statutory decisions to digital assistance systems is connected to Big Data-specific risks of discrimination, which puts the constitutional principal of equality as well as the social state right to participate on the legal test bench. They must use quality standards for programming to take into account the software and its self-learning mechanisms.
The model of transparent administration (open government) as well as the potential benefit from more efficient, fully automated management processes are at odds with the non-transparency of self-learning Big Data analytical algorithms: the fewer the comprehensible analysis results produced by the analytical tools and decision-making assistants used by the administration for their decision-making process as well as the fewer the recommendations based on these results, the greater the constitutional concerns about their use with regard to the principles of justification and clarity of accountability.
The phenomenon of algorithm-based decision-making is also tangent to the ban on automatically generated individual decisions, as previously laid out in § 6a BDSG [German Data Protection Act] and - as the European Union's legal "replacement" - now in Art. 22 GDPR. The GDPR introduces hurdles to the admissibility of automatically generated decisions - including so-called profiling. They are only legal when they are either required in contractual relationships, when they are carried out on the basis of the relevant legal provision or when the affected parties have consented. The (regulated) forms of self-regulation defined by Art. 40 ff. GDPR and the forms of co-regulation have become a model in this respect. The data protection impact assessment is also assigned an important role as an instrument of regulation.
With a view to the consumer protection aspects of algorithm control in the Internet of Things, the project is financed in part by third-party funds. The programme area was successful in the tender process for the subsidy programme "Promoting Innovation in Consumer Protection in the Law and the Economy - Consumer-Related Research on the 'Internet of Things'" of the German Federal Ministry of Justice and for Consumer Protection (BMJV) with its proposal for algorithm control as a consumer policy protection mechanism. The research projects analysed regulatory approaches for controlling the switching points in the Internet of Things and drafted solution proposals for practical use to achieve effective implementation of algorithm control.

Brae MacKenzie: A Romance of Mythic Identity
By Kenneth Atchity
When folklore becomes alive.
"This is a story that most adult women will love. The author does an excellent job of bringing forth the characters of this young woman and man and then elaborate, thorough descriptions of the countryside, the weather and the plants. I was enthralled with this story." 5 Stars
By Joan A. Adamak, Joan's Musings
This book encompasses a beautiful love story and it is like a travelogue of Scotland, for those of us who have never been there. Brae MacKenzie is a successful San Francisco painter, who seems to have it all, but because of family losses during childhood, cannot find happiness within herself, especially after her charismatic husband suddenly dies. She is left with a son, but she has always felt a sense of loss and longing since childhood. Her artistic passion hasn't filled that void, and with the untimely death of her husband, the old pain resurges and her depression becomes deeper and deeper. Brae's father senses his daughter's pain and before she embarks for an exhibit in England, he hands her a family heirloom hidden away for years...a letter with a treasure map, which says: "Since you are still among the living, your heart is not broken...follow the map to Scotland." The London exhibit, in its ultra-chic hollowness, prompts Brae into taking the advice of that bewildering letter. She hops a train for Glasgow. When her train emerges in an ancient Caledonian forest, Brae is pulled enough out of her depression to feel something and she stops at the next station.
She is met by Damon, a well-built young Scot, who although a stranger to her, yet seems to know her. He becomes her personal guide into the myths and history of Scotland, including identifying all of the fauna, and takes her on a trip by horseback around the country, setting up camp, cooking and protecting her. But he doesn't say much, doesn't seem to want to talk, is rather withdrawn and dour. She gets accustomed to it and begins to look outside of herself. They travel much of Scotland to the ocean and as time passes, Brae begins to feel again and find some joy and beauty in life. She has inherited her grandmother's house and lands on the edge of the ocean Damon becomes friendlier and even laughs with her sometimes. He explains her deceased grandmother's life, and finally admits to her that he will never marry because he is sterile and he wouldn't burden any woman with that. But she has a child, she realizes that they are falling in love and that he will never make a move, so she does and he responds. Her travels and kinship with him bring out the best in her and in him.

Role of ELNs in patent matters after the America Invents Act
How to protect your scientific IP and why the use of an ELN remains essential in patent matters even after the implementation of the America Invents Act.
By Cynthia R. Wright in Guides
Pre-AIA proceedings
Applications filed after the AIA
Inventorship Issues
Shop rights
Collaboration issues
Unnamed inventors
Invalidation issues
Non-inventorship issues
Before the implementation of the America Invents Act (AIA), patents were issued on a "first-to-invent" basis, and an inventor's lab notebook was essential in proving that an inventor was the first to invent. Beginning on March 16, 2013, the AIA switched the approach in the United States to a "first-to-file" system wherein the first inventor to file a patent application wins the race to patent their invention.
This article explores whether an electronic lab notebook (ELN) is still essential in patent matters after the implementation of the AIA.
Patent applications filed before March 16, 2013, are still subject to "first-to-invent" interference proceedings. Interference proceedings are administrative proceedings conducted within the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) to determine which patent application was the "first-to-invent" an invention.
During 2019 and 2020, the USPTO had an interference inventory of 15 and 10 proceedings, respectively (uspto.gov). The pending interference proceedings all relate to patent applications filed before the implementation of the AIA.
While the number of interferences is quite small, ELN software may be essential to proving your case if you happen to be involved in an interference. In fact, an ELN may be the only way that inventorship can be established.
Although the AIA eliminated interference proceedings, it essentially replaced them with derivation proceedings, which are more limited in scope than interference proceedings.
Derivation proceedings are typically less expensive and less complex than interference proceedings. In a derivation proceeding, a first inventor alleges that a second inventor or inventors named in an issued patent derived their invention from the first inventor without authorization. ELN software might be an evidentiary starting point in any derivation proceeding.
Of the total 669,434 patent applications filed in 2019, there were 22 pending derivation proceedings (uspto.gov). Despite this small number of derivation proceedings, you do not want to have to file or defend a derivation proceeding without an ELN to substantiate your claim of inventorship.
The AIA did not impact pre-AIA inventorship questions such as:
Does a lab have "shop rights" to use an invention?
Who is the inventor in a collaboration of multiple investigators?
What if there is an unnamed inventor?
What if the patent fails to list the correct inventors?
ELN software can be indispensable in helping to resolve these types of inventorship issues.
All lab personnel should utilize ELN software, whether that personnel is specifically hired to invent or is merely employed as a technician. The ELN should record all experiments conducted in the lab and any lab resources utilized by an employee to perform their duties.
If, for example, an investigator hired by the lab to invent new and useful technology invents a new and useful product or method, then the lab is the owner of the new technology (assuming an agreement for the investigator to assign technology invented to the lab).
What rights would a lab have if one of its lab technicians identifies a new method of completing routine experiments that allows the experiments to be completed faster while reducing the amount of waste produced? Typically, a lab in this situation would not have any rights to patent or license the new method (assuming no assignment agreement has been executed by the technician to assign the new technology to the lab). In this situation, the lab typically retains "shop rights" to use the new and useful method royalty-free. The ELN maintained by the technician may be necessary to substantiate a lab's claim of "shop rights."
Often two or more inventors or labs collaborate on a project so that each inventor, or lab, investigates a distinct portion of a complex issue. Who is the inventor if a new and useful process or product is invented during a collaboration? Inventorship is important because it determines ownership and who financially benefits from a patent (a patent often vests with the inventors and the lab that employs them).
The following example is illustrative:
Inventors X, Y, and Z collaborate on a new cancer drug. Patent Application 1 (PA1) is filed, naming X, Y, and Z joint inventors. PA1 discloses the new cancer drug and the dosing method for the new cancer drug utilized by the inventors.
The patent office determines that the patent application discloses two distinct inventions and requires the application to be "restricted" to the new cancer drug or the dosing method. X, Y, and Z decide to restrict PA1 to just the new cancer drug. X, Y, and Z then file Patent Application 2 (PA2) seeking a patent on the dosing method for the new cancer drug.
Although the development of the new cancer drug and the dosing method was a collaborative project, X was assigned the task of formulating the new cancer drug, and Y and Z were assigned to come up with a dosing regimen. Thus, PA1 discloses the invention of X, and PA2 discloses the invention of Y and Z.
X is employed by Lab 1 and works in California, while Y and Z are employed by Lab 2 and work in Massachusetts. The inventorship listed on both patent applications will need to be corrected to protect the patent rights of Labs 1 and 2.
The new cancer drug is highly effective in treating certain cancers. Lab 1, the sole owner of PA1, successfully brings the new cancer drug to market and receives tremendous compensation. Unfortunately, the dosing method disclosed in PA2, which is owned by Lab 2, is immediately supplanted by an improved dosing method invented by others. Lab 2 cannot commercialize PA2 and does not generate income from the dosing method.
The previous example demonstrates how important inventorship is and the importance of creating research documentation to substantiate and verify a claim of inventorship. Each inventor should maintain an ELN to resolve inventorship issues quickly and early during the patent process. In cases of collaboration, the ELN of the inventors may be the best evidence establishing inventorship.
The USPTO can reject patent applications that fail to name all inventors for failure to name the correct inventorship. See In re VerHoef, No. 2017-1976 (Fed. Cir. 2018). In VerHoef, the named inventor was denied a patent because the application failed to name an inventor of an "essential" feature of the invention.
Generally speaking, each joint inventor of a patent has a right to "make, use, offer to sell, or sell the patented invention...without the consent of and without accounting to the other owners." An inventor owns whatever he invents irrespective of whether he is named an inventor on a patent application.
The inventor may have contracted with a lab to assign his rights to the invention to them. If so, then the lab can file a patent application on behalf of the inventor because the inventor's rights have been assigned to them. If the inventor has not assigned his rights to a lab, then the lab has no right to apply on behalf of the inventor, to license the technology to others, or to commercialize the invention, but may have "shop rights" as set forth above.
For example, Inventor Y issued Patent A for a new chemical composition. Y works at Lab 1. Inventor X, a former employee of Lab 1, is not listed as an inventor on Patent A, but X worked with Y at Lab 1 when Y invented the new chemical composition.
X has now left Lab 1 to form Lab 2 to make and sell Patent A. Lab 2 is now a direct competitor with Lab 1. The ELN of both Y and X while at Lab 1 may be the best evidence of whether X was an unnamed inventor of Patent A.
If X worked at Lab 1 and was an unnamed inventor of Patent A, X might be found to be infringing on Lab 1's patent rights if X executed an assignment of his rights to Lab 1. Alternatively, if X was a joint inventor of Patent A and X did not assign his rights to the invention to Lab 1, then X may have the right to make and sell the new patented chemical composition, including licensing Patent A to Lab 2.
X may be omitted from the patent due to inadvertence on behalf of the patent attorney filing the patent application on behalf of Lab 1. Or, X may be unnamed because his contribution to the invention was not initially claimed in the patent application and was only added after the claims were amended. Alternatively, X may have been removed as an inventor because his contribution to the invention was removed during the prosecution of the patent application.
A real-life example of what can happen when an inventor is removed during the prosecution of a patent application is found in Ferring B.V. v. Allergan, Inc., No. 20-1098 (Fed. Cir. 2020).
In Ferring, patent applications were filed by Ferring relating to a new drug. The patent applications did not name an inventor that consulted with Ferring during the new drug development. The unnamed inventor was not an employee of Ferring and had not assigned his inventor's rights to Ferring. The unnamed inventor filed his patent applications relating to his contribution to the new drug.
The unnamed inventor obtained patents on the use of the new drug and assigned these patents to Allergan. Ferring then attempted to add its employees as joint inventors of the Allergan patents. Allergan responded to Ferring by attempting to add the unnamed inventor as a joint inventor of the Ferring patents.
This case illustrates that patent law can be a minefield.
A patent is invalid if it fails to name the true inventor(s). In cases wherein a competitor is accused of infringing an issued patent, the infringer may allege that the patent is invalid due to a failure to name the correct inventors. A mistake in naming the correct inventor(s) of a patent can only be corrected upon showing that the mistake in naming the inventor(s) occurred through error and without any deceptive intent.
ELN software can help prevent errors in naming the inventor(s), thus preventing future patent validity issues and protecting patent rights. If questions of inventorship arise, then the applicable portions of the ELN can be forwarded to the patent attorney or agent prosecuting the patent application to answer these questions.
The AIA did not affect pre-AIA non-inventorship issues such as novelty. US patent laws require that an invention disclosed in a patent application be novel. 35 U.S.C. §102(a)(1).
During an examination of a patent application, the USPTO may require the applicant to show that the invention is, in fact, novel.
Novelty can be difficult to prove, particularly in applications disclosing new chemical methods. For example, Inventor X files a patent application on a new method of attaching an oligonucleotide (oligo) to a silicon surface via an oxime bond. The prior art discloses numerous devices that attach oligos to a silicon surface via an amine bond. An oxime bond is one type of amine bond. The USPTO looks at whether the disclosed oxime bond attachment method is novel compared to the prior art amine bond attachment methods.
If X is conducting cutting-edge research, then there may not be any published literature or published patent disclosing the novelty of X's new method of coupling an oligo to a silicon surface via an oxime bond. For example, X may wait until a patent is issued before his research is published. How do you show novelty in this situation? You may show novelty by providing data from X's ELN showing the unexpected results obtained from the oxime method compared to the other amines tested. The raw data in the ELN may also be converted into a table or graph and provided to the USPTO.
In many chemical and biotech patent applications, experimental data is exported from ELN software and imported into the initial patent application to support the novelty of the disclosed invention.
In summary, ELNs may be necessary to establish inventorship in "first-to-invent" and "first-to-file" situations.
ELNs may also be critical for a lab or company to:
Establish "shop rights" to an invention
Establish inventorship and ownership rights during a collaborative research project
Defend against unnamed inventors
Protect against the invalidation of a patent
Demonstrate novelty during patent prosecution.

10 Insanely Romantic Hotels in New York City
The streets, parks, and landmarks of New York have been romanticized in books, on film, and in song, so it makes sense that its hotels enjoy a similarly idealized status. And it doesn't hurt that they genuinely have l'amour down to a science, with just the right blend of ambiance, amenities, and impeccable service to impress the object of your affection no matter what the occasion. To help you plan the perfect rendezvous, we've rounded up 10 of Manhattan's most romantic hotels.
By Jennifer Fernandez January 3, 2020
Jen has been a staff editor at Architectural Digest, Travel + Leisure, and Martha Stewart Weddings, and her work has appeared in The Wall Street Journal, Afar, and Elle Decor. When she's not snowmobiling in the French Alps or tasting scotch straight from the barrel in Scotland, she's at home in Brooklyn with her husband and daughter.

Although it doesn't have the pop culture legacy of some of the other hotels on this list, The Nomad is as romantic as they come. Inspired by the Parisian apartment French designer Jacques Garcia grew up in, the 1903 Beaux Arts gem is a plush retreat complete with freestanding claw-foot tubs, antique Persian rugs, and leather headboards that complement the mahogany writing desks in each of the 168 rooms. The moody bi-level library, cocktail bar, and restaurant, helmed by Daniel Humm and Will Guidara, are equally elegant in both setting and menu; don't miss the foie gras and truffle–stuffed roast chicken for two.

The Greenwich Hotel
It makes sense that a hotel owned by actor Robert DeNiro feels like a living movie set. Located on a cobblestone street in Tribeca, arguably one of New York's most picturesque neighborhoods, The Greenwich combines stylish midcentury design with accessories that look like they were sourced from flea markets around the world, including oriental rugs and Moroccan tiles in the 88 individually decorated guest rooms and leather club chairs and marble-topped bistro tables in the lobby. With its cozy fireplace, the eclectic drawing room sets the scene for an amorous tête-à-tête, though the charming courtyard and rooftop pool and spa are worthy runners up.
For sheer history alone, few hotels can compete with the romantic star power of The Plaza—just ask anyone who's seen The Way We Were. A stay in the iconic Beaux Arts landmark at the corner of Central Park South and Fifth Avenue is the ultimate New York experience thanks to 24-karat gold–plated faucets, French-style furnishings, and crystal chandeliers in the 282 period-appropriate rooms. You'd be forgiven for holing up in your love nest for the length of your stay, but do venture out. The Palm Court's over-the-top garden décor makes it a must-see for afternoon tea; those looking for something stiffer can enjoy a cocktail with a side of live jazz in the Rose Club.

If these walls could talk, they'd reveal tales of Hollywood royalty (Humphrey Bogart married his first wife on the rooftop) and political intrigue (John F. Kennedy, lived here for a time). The 1925 icon was restored to its former glory by Ian Schrager and Julian Schnabel back in 2006, and Gramercy Park Hotel has since become a magnate for stylish couples with a discerning eye—think sumptuous velvet and Dutch still life hues in the 185 guest rooms, while artwork by Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat line the walls in the checkerboard-floor lobby. With its imposing fireplace and jewel-hued walls, the Rose Bar sets the scene for candlelit conversations, but the real draw for guests is a key that gains you exclusive access to the private grounds of Gramercy Park, just steps away.
Crosby Street Hotel
British designer Kit Kemp's richly patterned jewel box is a plush landing pad for Soho couples looking for a place to declare their love. The 86 individually appointed rooms at Crosby Street Hotel, housed in an 11-story brownstone, are playful yet sophisticated, with upholstered headboards and fabric-clad walls in vibrant hues, all backlit by the brilliant sunlight that streams in from floor-to-ceiling factory-style windows. Though there's a restaurant and sculpture garden tucked away in the heart of the property, guests will likely take to the surrounding streets: for breakfast croissants at Balthazar or a shopping spree at Bloomingdales, around the corner.
If a Parisian getaway was on the agenda but proved out of reach, you'll find a worthy alternative in The Lowell, a family-owned refuge nestled behind a restored Art Deco façade on New York's tony Upper East Side. The 70 rooms exude old world European glamour with silk curtains, polished oak floors, canopy or four-poster beds, and marble baths; many also have wood-burning fireplaces, and the hallways that lead to them are embellished with French landscapes. Downstairs, afternoon tea in the Pembroke Room has all the elegance of an English high service, while parquet floors, sumptuous sofas, and elegant crown moldings set the scene for a dimly lit nightcap in the Club Room.
The Marlton
For an intimate hotel that feels more like a stay in a friend's home downtown, consider The Marlton, in Greenwich Village. The hospitality begins in a toasty wood-paneled lounge lit by a fire, its leather and velvet sofas and marble-and-brass side tables beckoning guests to rendezvous. The scene is just as welcoming at Margaux, the on-site café outfitted in Argentinean tile, midcentury-inspired lighting, and perfectly dangling greenery. But it's the rooms that really encourage displays of affection with herringbone floors, brass sconces, and faux-fur throws on the bed. Despite their snug proportions—or perhaps because of them—you may never leave.

The Beekman
After a $500 million renovation that turned the former office building and writing haunt of Edgar Allen Poe into a 287-room hotel, The Beekman has become the Financial District's buzziest new opening. Much of it has to do with the oft-Instagrammed Victorian atrium and skylight at the center of the hotel, as well as architect Martin Brudnizki's idiosyncratic rooms (think foo dog lamps, leather headboards, custom armoires, and modern art) and public spaces. The dark wood-paneled lobby—and the wrought-iron backed landings above it—offer plenty of opportunities to steal away with your paramour. Of course, Keith McNally's elaborately tiled French bistro Augustine proves that the way to any lover's heart is most definitely through his stomach.
With its storied Fifth Avenue at Central Park address and enviable roster of celebrity clientele (everyone from Hollywood elite to foreign dignitaries like Prince Philip have stayed here), The Pierre is New York glamour at its best. A $100 million renovation of the historic 1930s property has restored public spaces thanks to the work of Alexandra Champalimaud, while 189 guest rooms maintain their stately grandeur, from the nail head trim on the headboards to the Turkish marble baths; elaborately patterned fabrics are the touch of new owners, the Indian hotel chain Taj. Feeling amorous? Order the fresh-shucked oysters downstairs at Two E bar, or hire the hotel's Jaguar for a sunset spin around Manhattan.
The High Line Hotel
If the High Line Hotel looks like a place where the lead couple in a Gothic drama sidle up for illicit moments away from prying eyes, that's because the 1800s red-brick seminary's interiors were revamped by former Hollywood set designers Roman & Williams. The 60-room boutique belies its hip Chelsea neighborhood with a studied collection of throwback antiques, from Tiffany lamps that echo its stained-glass windows to oriental rugs and vintage-inspired wallpapers. You can take your Intelligentsia coffee in your room or on one of the velvet settees in the lobby, or better still, under the gas lamps in the hotel's Parisian-inspired courtyard.
