As technology continues to evolve and play an increasingly active role in our daily lives, Marriott International has teamed with two leading companies – Samsung and Legrand – to launch the hospitality industry's Internet of Things hotel room to inspire the ultimate hotel experience of the future.
The Internet of Things Guestroom Lab – powered by Marriott's Innovation Lab at the company's corporate headquarters – explores concepts that have the potential to elevate the guest experience, create more efficient hotel room design and construction, and contribute to Marriott's global sustainability efforts and goals.
As the hospitality industry's smart hotel room, the Lab allows multiple responsive Internet of Things systems, devices and applications to communicate with one another to serve guests and optimise hotel operations.
"We know that our guests expect to personalise almost everything in their lives, and their hotel experience should be no different," said Stephanie Linnartz, global chief commercial officer, Marriott International.
Developing an intuitive system is critical as Marriott seeks to continuously innovate the global guest experience across its 30 brands.
The technology inside the Internet of Things Guestroom Lab allows, for instance, a user to ask a virtual assistant for a 06:30 wake-up alarm, to start a yoga routine on a full-length mirror, request additional housekeeping services and start the shower at the desired temperature stored in their customer profile – all by voice or app.
Marriott is working towards a future where hotel owners would have a seamless, transparent and flexible end-to-end solution that requires minimal equipment, while customers would enjoy an integrated experience with access to their own data and information, as well as accessible voice and mobile-optimised controls.
Such systems would also benefit hotel operations and improve personalised service by, for instance, allowing staff to provide services at a guest's desired time.
"At Samsung, we aspire to make life easier and better for our consumers, whether they're at home or their home away from home," said James Stansberry, senior vice president and general manager of ARTIK Internet of Things, Samsung Electronics.
"Partnering with Legrand and Marriott, we can offer users unprecedented levels of control and personalisation, thanks to our end-to-end IoT services powered by the ARTIK platform and the SmartThings Cloud.
Following the three-month-long experiment Marriott, Samsung and Legrand will analyse feedback to continue innovating with Internet of Things technology.
Consumers will start to see elements of the technology in hotel rooms within the next five years.

Agency responds to claims made by Bus Riders Unite!
When TriMet instituted a new ticket system on buses earlier this year – moving from manually-issued receipts to computer-printed tickets – the agency achieved a long-sought after goal: A consistent fare system and 2-hour ticket time across all modes – both buses and trains.
In July, the ticket printers went into use on all buses lines following an initial pilot period on lines 17 and 70. At that time, we emphasized that with the printers, 2-hour tickets on buses would finally be valid for the full two hours. There had always been variability with manual-issued transfers. The tear-off transfers were not precise in showing the valid time of the transfer and some riders got more or less time than the designated two hours. The ticket printer equalized all fares for all riders across all modes.
Implementing the bus ticket printers was not a fare hike, rather it was an operational improvement to ensure consistency in the application of our long-standing fare instrument, the 2-hour ticket. For more than a decade, TriMet has positioned the fare structure to consist of a monthly pass, a day pass and a 2-hour ticket. While the 2-hour ticket has always been exact on the MAX system, the time on buses was not due to the manual process of punching and ripping the tickets, and we were criticized for the discrepancy. When we introduced the ticket printers, we solved the inconsistency.
The 2-hour ticket is intended to allow a rider to make a one-way trip to their destination in that two hour window. If riders travel shorter distances, they can make a round-trip on the single fare.
With the 2-hour tickets on both bus and MAX, riders only need to board the vehicle while the transfer is valid; they do not have to complete their trip during the 2-hour ticket window, just as in the past when riding with a manually issued transfer. We have heard that some riders believe they have to deboard when the 2-hour ticket expires. That is not the case. You just need to board the vehicle before the time expires.
TriMet is committed to providing high-quality service to low-income communities and communities of color. In addition to our existing reduced fares for seniors, youth and people with disabilities, we set aside $1.3 million for our low-income fare discount programs, Access Transit. In coordination with Ride Connection, TriMet has distributed $335,691 in grant funds to 33 organizations in all three counties TriMet serves. The program is part of an effort to mitigate the impact of the 2012 fare increase. Anyone interested in the Access Transit program or wanting more information should go to trimet.org/accesstransit.
In April 2012, TriMet conducted a Title VI equity analysis of proposed fare changes: TriMet Title VI/Transit Equity Impacts Assessment – Recommended Plan for Major Service Changes and Fare Changes; Effective September 2012. The analysis assessed proposed fare changes for any possible disparities in regard to adverse effects on minority and low-income riders, and highlighted a number of actions to mitigate any such impacts.

The National Committee of the Socialist Party USA
As members of the groups listed above, we have joined together out of concern for the future of the organized socialist left. We have two concrete proposals that are being submitted to all of our groups simultaneously, so that they might be discussed and, if accepted, acted on as soon as possible.
1. We propose that joint regional meetings of our six groups be organized for members and invited individuals, as outlined in the June 1996 issue of CROSSROADS.
2. We propose that organizing begin immediately for a national conference of socialist youth in Fall 1997, initiated by the youth members and affiliates of the six groups, but open to co-sponsorship by other agreed-upon groups and individuals.

Saul Mendelson's funeral
The Memorial Service for Chicago Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) member Saul Mendelson was held on Sunday, March 29, 1998, at the First Unitarian Church, Chicago[14].
The service was MC'd by a retired colleague, Bob Clark. Carl Shier of DSA, spoke first and was followed by Saul's friend Deborah Meier, "a MacArthur Genius Grant recipient who is now starting a new school in Boston". Amy Isaacs, National Director of the Americans for Democratic Action, spoke of what "Saul had meant on foreign affairs to the ADA".
Other speakers included Communist Party USA aligned Senator Carol Moseley Braun, Alderman Toni Preckwinkle, State SenatorBarack Obama, Illinois House Majority Leader Barbara Flynn Currie and "a good friend from New York", Myra Russell.
The concluding remarks were made by an old friend, Harriet Lefley, a former Trotskyist with Saul Mendelson in the 1940s, who was then Professor of Psychology at the University of Miami Medical School.
Eulogies also came from Quinn Brisben, (Socialist Party USA presidential candidate 1976, 1992) and David McReynolds (Socialist Party USA presidential candidate 1980, 2000).
Both Brisben and McReynolds are also members of Democratic Socialists of America.

Socialist Party USA Involvement
At its national convention[16]in mid-October,1999 the Socialist Party USA nominated David McReynolds for U.S. President and Mary Cal Hollis for Vice-President.
He was the Socialist Party USA presidential candidate in 1980 with a Catholic nun as his Vice Presidential runningmate. He was the first openly gay person to ever win a party's Presidential nomination.[17]
McReynolds served two terms as National Co-Chair of the Socialist Party USA.[18]
DSA support in 2004
In 2004 Democratic Socialists of America targeted local races where control of state houses were up for grabs and where statewide electoral-vote outcomes hinged on successful local district turnouts.[19]
NYDSA activists are also backing David McReynolds in what the local views as a spirited and needed educational campaign for U.S. Senate against centrist incumbent Democrat Charles Schumer, who faces token Republican opposition. McReynolds, a DSA member, longtime peace activist, staff member with the War Resisters League and a Socialist Party leader, is running on the Green Party ticket. In Albany County, incumbent Democratic District Attorney Paul Clyne is a notorious champion of the punitive New York State Rockefeller drug laws unrevised."
In Democratic Socialists of America's Democratic Left Winter 2004/2005, Theresa Alt wrote;[20]
We reported on the candidates that DSAers were supporting in the last issue of Democratic Left. How did they do?
New York State looks like politics as usual on the surface... Longtime left labor advocate Frank Barbaro, who took on a challenging congressional district; Socialist Green David McReynolds, whose longshot campaign was really about educating for a more peaceful and wiser foreign policy; and labor activist Dan Cleveland, who made a state senate bid in rural Republican western New York, all lost..
As of 2009 David McReynolds served as a sponsor of New Politics, magazine almost completely staffed and run by members of Democratic Socialists of America[21].
Campaign for Peace and Democracy
McReynolds is listed as an endorser of the Campaign for Peace and Democracy, as of March 15, 2010.[22]

Q: Cannot create rounded top left in triangle object with border-top-left-radius and border-width How can I add border radius when using border-width? I want to add border-top-left-radius of 15px.
I have this code to create a triangle object and it looks nice, but I want the object have border radius at top left. However, if I use border-top-left-radius: 15px; the object is not triangle but a square.
Currently I use Bootstrap 3.3.7.

.exclusive-price{
    position: absolute;
    width: 0;
    height: 0;
    border-style: solid;
    border-width: 160px 160px 0 0;
    border-color: #C00000 transparent transparent transparent;
    /* if use this the object will be a square */
    /*
    border-top-left-radius: 15px;
    */

}
.exclusive-price>label{
    position: relative;
    top: -110px;
    left: -5px;
    text-decoration: none;
    word-wrap: normal;
    min-width: 140px;
    font-size: 20px;
    color: #fff;
    -webkit-transform: rotate(-45deg);
    -moz-transform: rotate(-45deg);
    -ms-transform: rotate(-45deg);
    -o-transform: rotate(-45deg);
    filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.BasicImage(rotation=3);

}
<link href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>

Most Effective

A: Wrap a container and make some changes on CSS to achieve this:

.corner-label {
  position: absolute;
  left: 0;
  top: 0;
  width: 160px;
  height: 160px;
  display: inline-block;
  border-top-left-radius: 15px;
  overflow: hidden;
}
.exclusive-price {

  height: 100%;
  border-style: solid;
  border-width: 160px 160px 0 0;
  border-color: #C00000 transparent transparent transparent;
  /* if use this the object will be a square */
  /*
  border-top-left-radius: 15px;
  */

A: According to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) CSS has something called as box model.  CSS box model describes the rectangular boxes that are generated for elements in the DOM. That is why if you apply border radius to top left corner the object appears as a rectangle/square.

El callejón de los milagros (Midaq Alley en Estados Unidos y Miracle Alley en Australia) es una película mexicana de 1995 dirigida por Jorge Fons y protagonizada por Ernesto Gómez Cruz, Salma Hayek, Bruno Bichir y las primeras actrices Delia Casanova, María Rojo y Margarita Sanz.

Está basada en la novela homónima de Naguib Mahfuz, cuya historia original ocurre en El Cairo en la década de 1940. El filme, adaptado por Vicente Leñero, tiene lugar en la década de 1990 en pleno centro histórico de la Ciudad de México.

En el filme, la historia es narrada desde tres diferentes perspectivas: Don Ru (Ernesto Gómez Cruz), el dueño de la cantina donde la mayoría de los hombres se reúne a beber y jugar dominó, Alma (Salma Hayek), la chica hermosa del barrio que busca pasión, y Susanita (Margarita Sanz, quien ganó un premio Ariel por su papel), la solterona dueña de la vecindad donde Alma y otros de los personajes viven.

Argumento
El filme está dividido en cuatro episodios, que transcurren en el escenario central de la callejuela que se llama como el filme mismo. Los episodios se centran en los personajes principales:
 En el primero, "Don Rutilio", un patriarca tiránico y machista que ha ocultado su homosexualidad hasta ese momento y consigue a Jimmy, un amante más joven; su hijo, Chava, no puede soportarlo y ataca al amante de su padre.
 El segundo, "Alma", es la historia de una bella muchacha, habitante del callejón, enamorada de Abel (quien parte hacia EE. UU. para acompañar a su amigo Chava en desgracia), luego de un fallido compromiso matrimonial, es seducida por José Luis, quien la enamora para después prostituirla; cuando ella se da cuenta de la trampa en que ha caído, lo abandona pero finalmente vuelve a él y acepta prostituirse.
 El tercero, "Susanita", es el relato de cómo una solterona irredenta trata de cumplir sus sueños románticos.
 En el cuarto, "El regreso", como su nombre lo sugiere, las historias anteriores se anudan y concluyen.

Personajes
Don Rutilio (Ernesto Gómez Cruz): es uno de los protagonistas de la película. Es el claro ejemplo del machismo mexicano. Es dueño de la cantina "Los Reyes Antiguos" en el callejón. Tras 30 años de matrimonio con Eusebia, decide ejercer su homosexualidad, hasta ese momento oculta, consiguiendo como amante a un dependiente de una camisería. Ante los amigos, se comporta como el mismo machista, pero es bien sabido por todos lo que hace.
Doña Eusebia (Delia Casanova): es la abnegada esposa de Rutilio, con quien lleva tres décadas casada. Sufre de los desprecios de su esposo, que ya no la ve como mujer, sino como sirvienta. Descubre los amoríos de su esposo con un jovencito y recibe una brutal paliza de parte de Rutilio por meterse en su vida.
Chava (Juan Manuel Bernal): es el hijo del matrimonio antes mencionado, ya mayor. Su más grande anhelo es marcharse a los Estados Unidos para hacer fortuna, además de que está cansado de la actitud de su padre ante todo. La oportunidad llega inesperadamente cuando agrede al amante de su padre, y luego tiene que marcharse, seguido de su amigo Abel, el cual lo acompaña por solidaridad. Tiene un hijo en el otro país, al que bautiza como Rutilio.
Jaime Paredes (Esteban Soberanes): más conocido como Jimmy, amante de Don Rutilio. Chava lo descalabra en un baño de vapor, al encontrarlo con su padre.
Alma (Salma Hayek): hermosa joven que le da esperanzas a Abel luego de mucho esperar. Se vuelve prostituta tras ser engañada.
Abel (Bruno Bichir): muchacho enamorado de Alma desde el comienzo de la película. Por un tiempo, trata de convencerla de que sea su novia, y que sus intenciones son serias. Pero tras haber consumado su noviazgo, se tiene que ir con su amigo Chava a Estados Unidos, lo que deja los planes que tenían de casarse en suspenso. Vuelve a pedir su mano, pero descubre que se ha ido. Su amigo Chava lo pone sobre la pista, y así es como va al burdel a tratar de llevársela, pero solo consigue que lo maten.
José Luis (Daniel Giménez Cacho): es el hombre que aparece para convertir a Alma en una cortesana, como él llama a las prostitutas de burdel. Tras mucho intentar, lo logra. Es herido con un cuchillo cuando Abel regresa e intenta recuperarla. Luego, con un cuchillo diferente, mata al joven.
Doña Catalina (María Rojo): es la madre de Alma, famosa por ser lectora de tarot en el callejón. Gracias a eso y a otras actividades parecidas, saca adelante a su hija. Se le muestra como abnegada y buena.
Doña Susana (Margarita Sanz): tercera protagonista, es la casera de la vecindad donde viven todos los habitantes de la historia. Solterona y ya entrada en años, acude a doña Cata para que le lea el destino. Ella le dice que aparecerá un hombre en su vida, y ella termina por conocer a Güicho, la mano derecha de don Rutilio en la cantina, para luego casarse. Su matrimonio, sin embargo, fracasa, porque Güicho se casó solo por interés, ya que Susanita era de las más ricas del lugar.
Güicho (Luis Felipe Tovar): ayudante de don Rutilio en su cantina. Debido al tiempo que lleva trabajando con él, comienza a robarle. Le solapa a su jefe sus aventuras con Jimmy. Se casa con Susanita por dinero, pero termina siendo descubierto y alejado de su lado.

Otros personajes:
Doctor Beltrán (Álvaro Carcaño): es un dentista tuerto que frecuenta el bar de don Rutilio. Está metido en asuntos sucios, junto a Zacarías. Susanita acude a él para que le haga una nueva dentadura. Pero poco después de eso, es arrestado en la celebración de la boda. Sale años más tarde, para reunirse de nuevo con los amigos en "Los Reyes Antiguos".
Zacarías (Abel Woolrich): es un malviviente que cobra cuotas a quienes trabajan en su territorio. También es frecuente visitante del bar de Rutilio. Acosa sexualmente a Flor todo el tiempo, y es por esto por lo que se le arresta junto con el doctor en la boda de Susanita.
Ubaldo (Óscar Yoldi): se le conoce como "el poeta", que también frecuenta "Los Reyes Antiguos". Es el hombre más culto del callejón, debido a que es dueño de una biblioteca. Se la pasa recitando versos, preferiblemente de Amado Nervo. Sin embargo, también menciona a Sófocles y Dante Alighieri. Eusebia acude en su ayuda para convencer a Rutilio de que sus actos de homosexualidad son malos, pero eso solo hace que Rutilio lo amenace para que no vuelva a su bar. Regresa a reunirse con los amigos luego de que salen de la cárcel.
Don Fidel (Claudio Obregón): es un hombre maduro, dueño de una joyería, que completa el cuarteto integrado por el doctor, Zacarías y Ubaldo. También visita el bar de Rutilio, para jugar dominó como todos los anteriores. Doña Cata está enamorada de él, pero él se presenta a pedir la mano de Alma. Doña Cata se la concede, con lágrimas en los ojos. Pero poco antes de la boda, muere en el bar, víctima de un paro cardiaco. Todo su dinero se lo dejó a sus hijos, ya adultos.
Doña Flor (Gina Morett): es una mujer dueña de la carnicería del callejón. Es acosada sexualmente por Zacarías, y finalmente, ella decide denunciarlo, por lo que se le arresta.
Macario (Eduardo Borja): es el marido de doña Flor. Según la película, es maltratado a menudo por su mujer, a quien ama, pero también teme. Buen amigo de don Rutilio, se le vio en "Los Reyes Antiguos" en tres ocasiones.

A fellow Romance Diva, Jennifer Bianco, is celebrating the success of one year at her blog, Once Upon A Crime. Congrats to Jennifer Bianco, Jennifer McKenzie, Cynthia Justlin, and KH Singletary for their achievement. You go girls!
To celebrate OUAC's one-year anniversary, we are giving away some awesome prizes this month.
So how do you win? It's simple.
Each prize will be up for grabs for a week.
At the end of that week, we'll pick a winner and post it on our blog. Easy peasy!
Let's get this started. Whoo hoo!
The first prize up for grabs is a first 3-chapter crit by me. (That just means the first 3 chapters as opposed to 3 chapters in the middle of your ms.) While I prefer chick lit, women's fiction, suspense, horror or mysteries, I'll crit anything but historicals, please.
Now, just post about our contest, our site or anything about us that leads your readers back to our site and leave that link below in our comment section. I'll pick a lucky winner next Monday, the 10th. I'll consider any comments received by Monday morning or when I put up a new post.


Join us for a day helping the Stream Team, a group of a parents who, together with the students and teachers of Owhiro Bay School are restoring their lcoal stream. As the only daylighted stream on the south coast and one that empties into the Taputeranga Marine Reserve it's a precious resource for the wider community as well. The area was at one time entirely covered with blackberry vines and now has a thriving native plant community. Activities may vary but are likely to included riparian planting releasing and weeding the current plants as well as some litter collection.
This project starts at 9 and will finish mid-afternoon.

In the period before their breakthrough with Sex 'n' Jazz, three international albums by Gare du Nord appeared to be cherished by the many fans of the first hour. The debut album (in search of) Excellounge with the European hit Pablo's Blues appeared in the slipstream of St Germain's Tourist and became a classic in the genre. Successor Kind Of Cool contained - in addition to the title song in the best Miles Davis tradition - the film hit Sold My Soul. The successful Club Gare Du Nord had a remarkable contribution by trumpet player Erik Truffaz in the classic We Still Grow and the catchy Becker / Fagen adaptation Go Back, Jack.
Although the three albums reached the gold status, they weren't available for ten years. The reason for this lay in the fact that producers Barend Fransen and Ferdi Lancee wanted to keep the analog sound of the tracks for a reissue on vinyl. Now the time has come: Fresh From the Can contains an exclusive selection from the "French" period of Gare du Nord, for which the original tracks were specially remastered for vinyl. Added to the album is the long version version of Rock Your Baby, recorded with the original singer George McCrae, that can't be found on any other release. Fresh From The Can, packed in new artwork inspired by Andy Warhol, offers a complete side for each of the three albums to preserve the original sound and atmosphere. Side four contains classic hits from the platinum albums Sex 'n' Jazz and Love For Lunch.
Fresh From The Can is available as a first pressing of 1.000 individually numbered copies on transparent vinyl and includes a printed innersleeve.

Tsuwano Festivals
Tsuwano
"Tsuwano Yabusame Festival (流鏑馬まつり)" .
Yabusame is a type of mounted archery which has a long history. An archer on horseback shoots arrows at a wooden target. First, during the Heian period, there were many such contests in Japan, but Yabusame as it practiced now was not known to many people. It was first invented by Minamoto Yoritomo (源頼朝) as a way to train his samurai . However Yabusame became less and less popular and finally disappeared. It was only revived during the Edo period as a mental and spiritual discipline for samurai. Now, Yabusame is only celebrated as a festival in several places in Japan including Tsuwano.
This festival is held on the first Sunday in April. Although there are a few mounted archery festivals left in Japan, Tsuwano's festival is the only one which actually takes place on a dedicated archery field. In general, the morning contest starts at 11a.m. and the afternoon session starts at 2 p.m. It gets very busy, so get there early to get a good view.

The Government of Karnataka's (GOK) initiative in partnership with Hewlett-Packard (HP) to launch an e-Procurement platform for its various departments has met with increased adoption and popularity among the contractor community, making this one of the most successful PPP (Public Private Partnership) implementations in the country.
The GOK has derived many benefits from this plan including a dramatic reduction of the tender processing time from estimate preparation to tendering, for example, in the case of PWD – its Public Works, Ports and IWT Dept – a reduction of up to 40 percent on transaction time has been recorded. Other departments of the GOK, which have already implemented the above model, include the Sarvasiksha Abhigyan (SSA), the Karnataka Drug Logistics Warehousing Society (KDLWS), the Krishna Bhagya Jala Nigama Limited (KBJNL) and the Centre for e-Governance (CEG).
For the contractor community, specific benefits include the reconciliation of Earnest Money Deposit (EMD) and other payment related parameters by a remarkable 50-60 percent, as all payment transactions are now enabled online – thus, effectively, the return of EMD to contractors is now much quicker and simpler.
One of the leading benefits of the e-Procurement initiative has been the standardisation of public procurement practices across departments for works and goods procurement. The initiative has also led to greater transparency and is anticipated to give rise to healthy competition for all tenders, thus keeping final prices in check.
As part of the partnership, HP conducted extensive training for the contractor community (Works and Goods) as well as government users and individual department employees. The training covered both operational and behavioural aspects (related to change) and is expected to continue till such time as all the departments of the government are on board. It will be further supplemented by on-call support as and when required.


"Periodically a writer captures the pattern of comedy and tragedy that peppers office life like alternating colors of carpet squares. . . . As smart as Medoff's critique of corporate inanity is, it's tempered by compassion for these people, who are ultimately tender with each other, too. . . . Medoff finds plenty of hurt--but strains of hope, too."
Corporate America: boring, soulless, fixated on profit. So how does This Could Hurt—based entirely around the daily happenings of a human resources team—yield such a delicious, satisfying book? Because Jillian Medoff delivers a story that is about so much more than run-of-the-mill office politics.
While Rosa is fiercely protective of her employees, she also gets the sense that they're not exactly living up to their full potential. There's Peter, her trusted VP of operations, who gets caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Rob, her lead for recruiting and training, manages to defeat a few levels of Brick Breaker on his Blackberry every day, but not much else. Lucy, who oversees policy and communications, soldiers on through the recession, but loses a little bit of her drive every day. Kenny, a whip-smart Wharton grad in charge of compensation, knows he's underemployed but doesn't have a clue how to fix his life.
Only Leo, her trusted employee benefits manager, lives up to Rosa's exacting standards. But he is miserable in his job and his life. When Rosa is stricken by a serious health issue a few months before retirement, her team comes together to protect her. But can they step up after so many years of inertia?
This Could Hurt is a worthy follow-up to Medoff's bestseller I Couldn't Love You More. Filled with heart and humor, it will ring true to anyone who's experienced both the cruelty and the camaraderie that make up the modern American workplace.

2017 Eclipse
View full screen.
On August 21, 2017, a solar eclipse will cross the continental United States. This hasn't happened in 38 years! The last time an eclipse path crossed the continental United States was in 1979. At the time, Jimmy Carter was president, a gallon of gas cost 86 cents, and Atari video games were a hot item. The total solar eclipse will travel from Oregon to South Carolina and cross over 21 national park units and 7 trails. Although the partial eclipse will be visible anywhere in the continental United States, it will not compare to experiencing the total eclipse.
National parks offer an amazing setting for watching the eclipse. The National Park Service mission to preserve special places for the enjoyment of everyone means that you can experience this historical event in a place that represents our heritage. National parks are also places to learn about our world. For example, monitoring air quality and starry night skies helps us understand how hazy skies affect parks and visitors. Working with partners, we can protect what is special about parks so that they are there for you to enjoy. While you are visiting, events at parks will help you make the most out of this unique solar event while you learn about the park.
No matter where you go, plan ahead. People have been planning where they want to view the eclipse years in advance. As a result, lodging and camping around many parks in the path of the total eclipse are full. It's hard to estimate how busy parks will be, but planning ahead will help make the experience unique and enjoyable. Here are some things to consider:
Protect your eyes. Bring your eclipse glasses. You don't want to arrive and discover the local stores are all sold out. The eclipse will be amazing, but it's not worth your eyesight. Learn more about safely viewing the eclipse.
Driving. Get there early; parking could be scarce.
Pack a picnic. Snacks, water, and a lunch will help make waiting for the big event enjoyable.
While you are at the park
The eclipse will take 2–3 hours from start to finish with the total eclipse only occurring for 1 minute on the edge of the path of totality to a maximum of 2 minutes, 41 seconds, on the center line in Southern Illinois and Western Kentucky. Since you are in a park, it is a great time to explore. Here are some ideas:
Explore the park. Take a hike, check out the visitor center, or attend a ranger program. There are amazing stories to discover in the park.
Become a Junior Ranger. Download a copy of the Junior Ranger Eclipse Explorer booklet. Check out other junior ranger books online (some of these are available at parks, too). You can also become a star explorer, paleontologist, cave scientist, or other specialty junior ranger.
Stay for the stars. The sun may steal the show, but stargazing can also remind you of your place in the universe. Check to see if the park has nighttime stargazing programs.
Join the ranks of citizen scientists. iNaturalist is looking for citizen scientists to document animal and plant behavior during the eclipse. Check out NASA's Public Engagement site for other ideas for getting involved. If you will be along the path of totality for the total solar eclipse on August 21, 2017, then you may want to participate in the Eclipse Megamovie Project.

The Hampton Park Terrace neighborhood was rural land until roughly 1912, when 251 lots were planned and developed. Hampton Park Terrace is bounded on the east by Rutledge Ave, north by Hampton Park, west by the Citadel and south by Congress Street. Two neighborhood highlights include the Citadel - the Military College of South Carolina - and Joseph P. Riley Park, home of the Charleston RiverDogs.


Public Rec Makes Super Soft And Stretchy "Technical Leisurewear"
Honestly, we didn't even think "technical leisurewear" was a thing, but we're really not at all surprised it is. If your idea of comfortable, versatile clothing is a pair of joggers and a pair of running shoes, you might want to check out Public Rec, a Los-Angeles based clothing company, makes a line of technical leisurewear that manages to be both stylish and casual at the same time, while incorporating elements of technical clothing. They got their start on Kickstarter in the Summer of 2015, and have only expanded since then, now with a whole line of comfortable, soft athletic wear.
The All Day Every Day Pants, for example, are the perfect combination of casual comfort and style. They feature a blend of nylon and spandex that is soft, stretchy, and highly breathable. And id we stretchy? They have an elastic waistband with internal drawstring to make them snug while remaining ultra-comfy. The Two front zipper pockets keep your stuff safe while the side panel adds a refined look, and the front fly is actually entirely fake – it's just there for looks. Two welt pockets in the back let you stash your wallet comfortably and safely (though we still recommend switching to a front pocket wallet; you'll back will thank you). Public Rec wants you to wear them almost anywhere outside of work – the bar, the couch, the store. They're soft and easy without the loungey look.
Another piece we really like is the Go-To Henley. This henley is constructed with Public Rec's proprietary Relux fabric blend of Pima Cotton, TENCEL®, and Spandex, that is luxuriously soft, super stretchy and moisture-wicking, and designed not to shrink in the wash. Public Rec also gives it flatlock stitching, which protects against chaffing. Just a super soft, comfortable shirt that is as comfortable lounging at home as it is out for the night.
Public Rec has got a few other great pieces of clothing – the Go-To Polo, Go-To Tee, and Crosstown Bomber. All are comfortable, soft options for everyday wear. Try some out for yourself if you're into that laid-back, casual style.
