Carrier Transicold's Warm Generosity Keeps Utah Food Bank Deliveries Cool
SALT LAKE CITY - Apr. 22, 2019
Supporting Utah Food Bank's initiatives to fight hunger and food insecurity, Carrier Transicold recently provided the organization with a new generation Supra® truck refrigeration unit to keep perishable food at the right temperature as it is delivered to food pantries around the state. The grant is funded in part by Carrier and its parent company, United Technologies Corp. (NYSE:UTX), to aid food banks in the Feeding America network. Carrier Transicold is a part of Carrier, a leading global provider of innovative heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC), refrigeration, fire, security and building automation technologies.
"With this gift, Carrier Transicold is helping Utah Food Bank to collect food from local drives, food manufacturers and grocery rescue programs and transport that food –free of cost – to our partner agencies, so it's available for seniors, adults and children at moments in their lives when they simply don't have enough money for food," said Ginette Bott, president and chief executive officer, Utah Food Bank. "The value of the Supra unit is equal to the cost of about 48,100 meals provided by our organization."
For more than 110 years, Utah Food Bank has stayed true to its objective of serving those in need throughout the state. In 2018, it distributed more than 36 million meals through its network of 150 partner agencies located in all 29 counties. Utah Food Bank is the state's only member of Feeding America, the nation's leading domestic hunger-relief organization.
In its mission to serve the one in eight Utahns at risk of missing a meal on any given day, Utah Food Bank's 47-vehicle fleet travels enough miles in a year to encircle the earth 19 times at the equator.
"Utah Food Bank does great work for people in need locally and in communities throughout the state," said Royal Richards, territory manager, Carrier Transicold of Utah, the dealership that installed the Supra unit onto a 24-foot box truck for the food bank. "Our employees were especially proud to be a part of this initiative."
Established in 2017, Carrier Transicold's grant program in support of Feeding America network food banks across the U.S. has funded $300,000 worth of equipment and installation of truck and trailer refrigeration units for individual food banks that are part of the Feeding America network. In addition to Utah, to date more than a dozen food banks covering parts of Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Florida, Louisiana, Michigan, South Dakota, Arizona, Nevada and California have been helped through the program.
"Our cold-chain technologies help preserve, protect and deliver the world's food supply," said Jon Shaw, director, global communications & sustainability, Carrier Transicold & Refrigeration Systems. "In supporting Feeding America and its network members, such as Utah Food Bank, we are also helping to get nutritious and healthy perishable food to those most in need here in the United States."

A major defense contractor last week withdrew from the healthcare battle after deciding it couldn't adapt its high-powered technology in time to capture a sufficient share of the information systems market for integrated delivery networks. The decision to exit healthcare was sudden for Hughes Healthcare Systems, a Fullerton, Calif.-based unit of Hughes Aircraft Co. Alan Pelegrini, marketing director for the healthcare unit, said the company decided to exit now instead of continuing to invest money and then deciding in six months to pull out of the market. The early decision also avoids compromising the competitive position of customers that would have committed to Hughes products and lost valuable time in choosing and implementing new systems, he said. Last week, Hughes was notifying customers of the decision; all contracts were in the early stages, before any systems had been delivered, Pelegrini said.
Bergen Brunswig Corp. will acquire Colonial Healthcare Supply Co. to expand its medical-surgical distribution business by about 50%. The Orange, Calif.-based distributor didn't disclose terms of the deal. It expects to complete the transaction in late July or early August. Owners of 68% of Colonial stock have agreed to support the deal. Colonial, based in Lake Zurich, Ill., distributes $180 million in medical-surgical supplies annually to 1,100 hospitals and 10,000 physician practices or other outpatient-service providers. Bergen Brunswig, one of the nation's leading drug distributors with more than $8 billion in revenues, operates a subsidiary for medical-surgical supplies. Its Durr Medical now distributes about $400 million in supplies, mostly to physician practices and other outpatient providers.
OrNda HealthCorp reported strong earnings for the second quarter ended May 31. The company posted net income of $21.6 million, or 47 cents per share, compared with a net loss of $36.9 million, or 95 cents per share, in the year-ago quarter. The 1994 quarter contained $40.8 million in nonrecurring charges, including transaction costs from its three-way merger with Burbank, Ca.-based Summit Health and Dallas-based American Healthcare Management. Revenues grew 51% to $497.9 million. For the six months, the Nashville, Tenn.-based firm reported profits of $53.9 million, or $1.20 per share, compared with a loss of $32.6 million, or 91 cents per share, a year earlier. Revenues increased 54% to $1.4 billion. OrNda operates 47 hospitals in 14 states.
Community Health Systems, Houston, has agreed to acquire the operations of 55-bed Kentucky River Medical Center, Jackson, Ky. Community, a 40-hospital chain, will operate the hospital under a long-term lease. Terms were not disclosed, but Community said the hospital generated revenues of $20 million in 1994. The hospital is now leased by Cumberland Health System, Nashville, Tenn.
Eastern Maine Healthcare has dropped out of Yankee Alliance to join VHA, an Irving, Texas-based alliance of 1,200 not-for-profit hospitals and healthcare organizations. Eastern Maine owns two hospitals in Bangor. Yankee Alliance is an 18-member hospital group based in Andover, Mass., and is a shareholder in American Healthcare Systems, La Jolla, Calif.
The IPA Association of America has attracted 100 members in its first six months, founder and President Albert Holloway said. The Oakland, Calif.-based association aims to help independent practice associations run better. It made membership applications available in January. IPAs-networks of physicians in solo or small practices formed to contract with managed-care organizations-are appearing rapidly. Holloway estimates they number more than 1,000. The association will help members establish governance structures, information systems and monitoring systems such as utilization review. Dues are $500.

Q: Convolving a gaussian with a power law: Analytical solution possible? Suppose $f(x) = ax^{-q}$ and $g(x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}\sigma} \exp[{\frac{-1}{2\sigma^2}(x)^2}]$.
I am attempting to find the convolution $(f\star g)(r) = \int\limits_{0}^{\infty}dx \ ax^{-q} \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi}\sigma} [\exp{\frac{-1}{2\sigma^2}(r-x)^2}]$.
Assuming $q>0$. I have been searching for a way to solve this analytically (even with mathematica), but I cannot seem to find a solution for $q>0$. Is there any way to go about writing down an analytical solution to such an integral? Thanks.

A: I suppose that there is a serious problem close to $x=0$ since
$$ \frac{a}{\sqrt{2\pi}\sigma}\,x^{-q}\, \exp\Big[-\frac{(r-x)^2}{2\sigma^2}\Big]\sim\frac{a e^{-\frac{r^2}{2 \sigma ^2}}}{\sqrt{2 \pi } \sigma }x^{-q}$$
The problem is totally different and does not make any trouble if $q \leq 0$.

Star Wars Fans Hit Queens Theaters to Watch Film
By NY1 News Queens
PUBLISHED December 19, 2015 @5:21 PM
In a Galaxy, right nearby, "Star Wars" fans hit theaters in Queens to watch "The Force Awakens".
"I've seen it twice in 14 hours and it's still good, and I'll probably see it again," said one fan that saw the film at the AMC Loews Theater in Fresh Meadows on Friday.
The theater started showing the 7th installment of the "Star Wars" franchise around 6 a.m. and fans had nothing bad to say about it.
"I've been waiting for this for a year, and I was really, really happy to see it," said a movie-goer.
"This was one of the best movies I've ever seen," exclaimed another.
"Loved it. Loved it. Loved it. Well, it was no doubt about that, I loved it," added a third fan.
Several Star Wars enthusiasts also brought their kids to see the movie.
"I was named after Luke Skywalker," said one boy.
"I named my daughter after Leia, Princess Leia, because I wanted her to be named after a really strong female," explained a young mother.
"The Force Awakens" is expected to shatter box office records this weekend.
With more than 100 million dollars in tickets already pre-sold in North America before the film hit theaters.

The Spartans will host a six-team spring tournament in Jenison Field House starting at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, March 30, 2019. Teams will include Bowling Green, Ferris State, Notre Dame, Oakland, and Toledo. MSU's first match is scheduled for 10 a.m. See the tentative schedule below.
The SideOut Club's Annual Meeting will be held on March 30, 2019 in room 300 of Jenison Field House, during the spring tournament. It will start at about noon, during a break in the schedule just after the 11 a.m. match. All members are encouraged to attend. The Club's annual financial statement will be presented and there will be an election for the Board of Directors. The Annual Meeting also serves as a forum for members to voice any suggestions or concerns. Hope to see you all on the 30th.
Eileen Ellis, vice-president of the SideOut Club, announced the Club's donation of $9,000 for use by the volleyball program.
The 2018 fall schedule begins August 18 with the traditional Green vs. White exhibition match at 4:00 p.m., with free admission for all. Then the team will take to the road for three weekends, before returning to host their home opener with the Auto-Owners Insurance Spartan Invitational Sept. 14-15 at Jenison Field House. The pre-conference schedule is less challenging than in some previous years, giving the lineup of mostly young, new starters some time to gain experience.
The AVCA preseason poll of coaches has the Spartan volleyball team ranked number 22 in the country. As expected, this is down from the final ranking of number 8 for the 2017 season, after the graduation of most of last year's starters. The Big Ten preseason poll puts MSU at ninth in the Big Ten after their fourth-place finish in 2017.
Kristin Kelsay Among "Thirty Under 30"
The Spartan volleyball team has a reduced schedule for spring 2018. They will start March 30 at Central Michigan University matched up against Ferris State and the host Chippewas. A week later they travel to Louisville, KY for the Kiva tournament on April 7. They return home to wrap up the spring season hosting Eastern Michigan on April 14.

2018 sees a number of coaches switching schools, yet remaining within the Big Ten.
The NCAA has announced rules changes for women's volleyball, to take effect for the fall 2018 season. They are all procedural changes, so fans will not notice any changes in the play of the game.
Probably the most noticeable change will be the shortening of the mid-match intermission from ten minutes to only five, "to improve pace of play".
In the challenge review system, in/out calls and touches will be combined into a single challenge, three-meter-line attack violations will be challengeable, and teams will be granted a fourth available challenge when a match goes into a fifth set.

California Loses Key Military Project And Gains Funding For Wall Plus More State And Local News
San Diego News Matters / September 5, 2019
The California Air National Guard is losing an $8 million flight simulator as one of 127 military projects to lose funding to pay for border projects ordered by the Trump administration. Also ahead on today's podcast: two Southern California congressman are rallying support to block new offshore oil drilling along the state's coast, San Diego Unified is speaking out about the need to provide food to immigrants and a report from UCSD found plastic sediment in the Santa Barbara Basin has doubled every 15 years.
Speaker 1: 00:00 It's Thursday, September 5th I'm Deb Welsh and you're listening to San Diego news matters from KPBS coming up. The Trump administration's decision to pull money from military projects we felt here in San Diego and a new study shows the amount of microscopic plastics found in the earth sediment doubles about every 15 years. When you think about that, that sounds like a huge number, but it's actually kind of crazier number when you think about how light plastic really is that and more coming up right after the break.
Speaker 2: 00:32 Mm.
Speaker 3: 00:33 Thank you for joining us for San Diego News Matters. I'm Deb Welsh, the Trump administration's decision to pull money for military projects as consequences in San Diego KPBS military reporter Steve Walsh says the California National Guard will lose an $8 million project
Speaker 4: 00:51 throughout the military. 3.6 billion was taken from 127 military projects to fund construction along the southern border in California. The Air National Guard lost funding for an $8 million flight simulators scheduled to be built in the channel islands. Senator Dianne Feinstein says the simulator would've prepared a c one 30 pilots to respond to natural disasters in a statement Feinstein called the decision by the administration to divert money from military construction projects irresponsible. The money will fund three projects in California including pedestrian fencing near Oti Mesa and the Ducati port of entry. Two additional projects will extend a total of 13 miles of secondary pedestrian fencing around the El Centro port of entry. The projects will be built by the army, Steve Walsh KPBS News
Speaker 3: 01:39 San Diego residents will get more power over their online data next year when the California Consumer Privacy Act goes into effect. But as KPBS science and technology reporter Shelina Celani explains, it's still unclear whether consumers will use that power.
Speaker 5: 01:56 A March ACLA poll showed 90% of voters in the state support more consumer privacy protections from online technology companies, so California residents will likely welcome the new law says Emory Rhone of the nonprofit group privacy rights clearing house in San Diego. He receives numerous concerns from residents expressing concerns. Like
Speaker 6: 02:16 I just got a data breach letter I this business has my information, my debit card, and my social security number and my drivers license are out on the Internet. Apparently. What do I do and how did it get this bad?
Speaker 5: 02:28 He says the law will finally give consumers a chance to ask businesses to delete their data before these types of issues arise, especially in San Diego where he says there are a lot of students using applications for tasks like keeping up with finances, but he admits consumers might be wary of using this law because it could mean losing access to some online services that can only work if provided personal data such as social media sites. It's
Speaker 6: 02:54 a little early to say that consumers won't be interested in it. Will it be the of people certainly know.
Speaker 3: 03:00 Rune says consumers can use the legislation on a broad range of sites and not just the popular ones like Facebook, Shelina, trout, Lani key, PBS news. The San Diego Unified School district is still encouraging parents to apply for free meal programs and they're trying to reassure parents concerned about federal rule change. The rule could bar people from getting a green card if they use public assistance. KPBS pvs reporter Matt Hoffman has the story.
Speaker 7: 03:27 A new rule from the Trump administration is going into effect next month, which food assistance groups and San Diego unified says is leaving people confused. Officials gathered Wednesday to discuss the upcoming change and clear up misconceptions about the public charge role. Basically before someone is deemed eligible to enter the U s receive a Green Card or extended visa. Immigration officials look to see whether or not that person can support themselves or if they will need government assistance. If they do need assistance, their immigration status could be jeopardized. Part of the rule change next month, accepting food benefits like CalFresh or snap could put someone's immigration status at risk but free or reduced meals at school is not considered a public charge under the new rule. San Diego Unified Superintendent Cindy Martin wants parents to know so children don't go hungry.
Speaker 8: 04:10 Your message to our families, this will not affect your status in applying for green card. Did we have great food and nutrition programs? We don't want any of our families to have any type of fear or confusion in applying for that free or reduced lunch program.
Speaker 7: 04:23 San Diego unified school officials say they serve more than a hundred thousand free or reduced meals everyday for students. Matt Hoffman, K PBS news.
Speaker 3: 04:32 Susan Davis who represents San Diego's 53rd district says this will be her last term in Congress, KPBS editor Tom Fudge reports on the Democrats decision to step down
Speaker 9: 04:44 at age 75 Davis is serving her 10th congressional term. She said in a press release. Her decision to leave reflected a desire to live and work at home in San Diego. Born in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Davis moved with her family to northern California and attended college at Cal Berkeley. After moving to San Diego, she commenced a long political career serving on the San Diego School Board and in the California Assembly. Then in the year 2000 she narrowly defeated incumbent Republican Brian Bilbray in the 49th district. Redistricting landed her in the 53rd district with its comfortable democratic majority. David serves on the House Armed Services Committee and the Higher Education and workforce subcommittee. She said she hopes her successor in office will put public interest above self interest. Tom Fudge KPBS news,
Speaker 3: 05:36 a federal judge has declined to throw out a lawsuit against the California state DMV over a personalized license plate capitol public radio. Steve [inaudible] explains soccer fan. Jonathon Cotler wanted his license plate. They have the acronym c. O. Y. W. The DMV asked him what it meant and he replied, come on you whites not in California
Speaker 10: 05:58 knows what it means and everybody who does know what it means knows it's not a sense of [inaudible].
Speaker 11: 06:03 That's Kotler his attorney. When far with the Pacific Legal Foundation in Sacramento, come on you whites is what fans of England's Fulham football club chat to cheer on the players who wear white jerseys. The DMV told Kotler the lettering has connotations offensive to good taste and ask the court to dismiss the lawsuit saying all vehicle license plates constitute government speech. The judge disagreed
Speaker 10: 06:23 the department's argument that this is somehow government's speech was so odd because the government usually doesn't ask individuals to supply the government with the meaning of the government's own speech.
Speaker 11: 06:35 The DMV declined our request for an interview saying it doesn't comment on pending legislation. Instead, the agency sent us a list of its criteria for determining whether a configuration is offensive, including any terms of prejudice, hostility, and vulgarity and anything with sexual connotations in Sacramento. I'm Steve Ne
Speaker 3: 06:51 to southern California. Congressmen are rallying support to block new offshore oil drilling along the state's coast KPBS environment. Reporter Eric Anderson says they argue this is not the time for new offshore oil platforms.
Speaker 12: 07:06 Congressman Scott Peters and Mike [inaudible] co-sponsored legislation aimed at blocking a Trump administration plan to sell new offshore oil leases and u s coastal waters. Offshore oil drilling could endanger the regions beach economy, which generates more than $8 billion in economic activity. Bob Keef works for the Business Alliance for protecting the Pacific coast.
Speaker 13: 07:28 We know that our beaches and our oceans in California are special places. They're part of the fabric of our lives here. For many of us. What we also need to remember is that our beaches, our oceans are the lifeblood of California's economy,
Speaker 12: 07:43 tourism and recreation alone account for a five point $3 billion economic impact and more than 96,000 jobs in the county. That more than doubles the estimated $2 billion impact linked to offshore drilling. Eric Anderson KPBS news.
Speaker 3: 07:59 Since World War Two, the use of plastics has soared in the United States and around the world. So it's not surprising that plastic pollution in the ocean is exploding as well. A new study from Scripps Institution of Oceanography shows how quickly plastics are accumulating near the California coast scripts. Microplastics biologist Jennifer Brandon was lead author of the study. She spoke with KPBS midday host mark sour. She talked about her research, which looked at the accumulation of plastics on the ocean floor of the Santa Barbara Basin.
Speaker 1: 08:34 The study went from World War Two to 2010 and I found this exponential increase in plastic. So it went from almost no plastic on the sea floor around the end of World War II to a huge increase and in basically modern day. And, and then when I tied that exponential increase to the exponential, an increase world plastic production over that same time, there's a very tight correlation. So what that means is the plastic we're producing on land and consuming on land is leaving a plastic imprint in our sedimentary record.
Speaker 14: 09:09 And you note that the surgeon microplastics in the ocean might serve as a marker for the great acceleration within the new geological epic known as the Anthropocene. Explain what that means.
Speaker 1: 09:21 So geologists believe that since World War Two we have so greatly changed and human civilization, human population and consumption patterns that we're truly creating a new geological epoch. We are changing where populations are, how big populations are, and how we consume materials that we really might be changing. MRG illogical signatures. And why plastics makes such a good geological proxy for this is that plastic lasts forever. It doesn't degrade. And so when I find it in these, in the sediment, it means that, you know, future civilizations might find plastic forever. As our kind of fossil record, we could really be known as the plastic age, like the ancient irony, age or copper age.
Speaker 14: 10:10 It's your study shows. Most of the plastic was found in the form of clothing fibers that might surprise most people who think of plastic bags and straws and containers, soda, soda bottles, so forth as making up the bulk of plastic pollution. How much plastic is in clothing and how does it get into the ocean?
Speaker 1: 10:26 We were more and more synthetic fabric these days. And so our clothes are actually being made of plastic. And then what happens is when you wear clothes that are made out of synthetic fibers, you wash them and little microfibers come off of them. They're too small to be filtered out at the waste water treatment plant. When you, you wash your clothes, they washed down the drain, they go to the wastewater treatment plant and they're too small to get filtered out. And so we did find the vast majority of our samples were these microfibers. Um, so yeah, you're not just littering on the beach and adding to this problem. Your clothes are actually adding to the problem too.
Speaker 14: 11:06 How can that be prevented?
Speaker 1: 11:07 It can be prevented on a variety of ways. You can actually do things at your individual household level. You can add a filter to your washing machine, you can wash your clothes in specific microfiber catching bags, but it can also be, um, prevented at the larger level of companies looking at how they make their clothes. And then at the much larger level as us working on engineering, different ways to catch microfibers at waste water treatment plants. And that is much harder to do. But there's some engineers really working on that.
Speaker 14: 11:39 The study is among many regarding plastic pollution in the oceans. What are some of the key findings regarding the number of tons of plastic entering oceans each year and at what depth is plastic being discovered?
Speaker 1: 11:50 So one of the main studies that talks about how much plastic is entering the ocean each year kind of gives it a rounded estimate of four to 12 million tens entering the ocean per year. And when you think about that, that sounds like a huge number, but it's actually even a kind of larger, crazier number when you think about how light plastic really is and how much of that plastic are these tiny microplastics. So to get a ton of microplastics and microfibers is literally trillions of pieces. So we are adding a ton of plastic to the ocean. It is a kind of mind bending problem when you think about it.
Speaker 3: 12:31 Scripts, microplastics, biologist Jennifer Brandon was lead author of a study that looked at the accumulation of plastic waste off the coast of California. Elected officials from around San Diego County. We'll be making a big decision tomorrow on the future of housing. Cities are tasked with planning for enough home building to accommodate population growth. KPBS Metro reporter Andrew Bowen says the housing crisis has changed the conversation about where that growth should be happening. Hi Lois.
Speaker 15: 13:03 Hi. It's so nice to meet you. Lowest son rich is 72 retired and a longtime resident of Encinitas. Well, this is my studio apartment and I'm a story collector and have a little nonprofit and this is my office and my home son. Rich's walls are lined with books, mostly memoirs and 250 diaries filled with her own writing. These are all of your journals,
Speaker 1: 13:29 parties and those up there and then the closet over there.
Speaker 15: 13:35 Rich is lucky. Years ago a patron helped her pay off this 400 square foot condo, but with little saved for retirement. Her living situation still wasn't stable. She looked into selling and moving into a subsidized rental apartment, but in a city where 80% of the land is zoned for single family homes, affordable housing is nearly impossible to find, much less build.
Speaker 3: 13:58 One of the difficult parts about being in the conversation about housing and Encinitas is that we have created laws that have made it more difficult for us to build housing.
Speaker 15: 14:12 That conversation continues Friday when local leaders will gather to decide how much housing each city in the county will have to plan for over the next decade. Encinitas. Mayor Catherine Blake Spear was one of the elected officials who came up with a methodology to guide that decision. She says in the past, cities including her own could get away with blocking any growth from happening and the State perceives that that is what has created the housing crisis. So we have a lack of supply of homes because so many cities have said, we're not interested in more homes here and we got ours. We're going to close the door after us. Under the new methodology, a city's housing is determined by two factors, how much public transit it has and how many jobs there are. The goal is to allow more people to take transit to work or if they have to drive, at least it's a shorter commute.
Speaker 15: 15:03 Although the methodology and concept make sense and doesn't take into account the nuances of each individual city. Richard Bailey is mayor of core Nado. If leaders approved the new housing methodology, his city would have to plan for a thousand new homes. That's not much compared to other cities, but it's 20 times what Cornetta was asked to plan for it the last time around. Bailey says the methodologies should take into account. Some of his city's jobs are actually overseas in the military and he says the city of core Nado has authority over only a fraction of its own land.
Speaker 16: 15:37 Then the question comes down to, well, who who's responsible for stepping up and throughout the South Bay region, many cities have already stepped up including Cornado and so I think it's important that we take a a look at what cities have already done historically and make sure that all the cities throughout the region are stepping up to do their fair share.
Speaker 15: 15:56 I mean, I'm not sure that that's really a legitimate position and Encinitas mayor Catherine Blake Spear says the methodology for allocating housing throughout the county has to be fair and explainable to the public. I think that every city has their particular reason that they think their numbers should be different and lower. I, of course really like my colleagues on the sandy board and the cornetto mayor, but I don't know if he has a different methodology that would apply to everybody or he's just asking for our carve out. I have been extremely fortunate back at her studio in Encinitas low, as Sunridge says, she's now getting by thanks to the charity of friends and colleagues, but she knows others aren't so lucky. She says, the way things are going, only the rich will be able to live in the communities where they work.
Speaker 3: 16:43 We're going to be segregated. We're not going to all come together and live together and, and I, I'm, I'm really not wanting to have that kind of city is my home town.
Speaker 15: 16:53 Elected officials are scheduled to vote Friday on a draft methodology that will guide its housing plan, whatever they settle on it. We'll also need approval from the state. Andrew Bowen KPBS news.

Kayaking is an activity enjoyed by a myriad of people from a rage of backgrounds, ethnicities and upbringings. There is something universally satisfying in plotting your course down a body of water, whilst able to explore the untouched sophistication of nature first-hand. It helps us to feel connected to the natural world around us, and also helps us to keep in touch with who we are deep down too.
When were kayaks first used?
Invented in Greenland almost 4000 years ago, Kayaks were probably first used by Inuit people. These are those from snowy and adverse climates. Historians and scientists believed that they used whale skeletons in order to give the boat a skeletal foundation. They then would use sealskin or other animal skin to give the boat a cover and a buoyancy. The idea was to create narrow slender boats, in order to traverse river, stream and ocean alike. The paddle was usually made from animal bone or wood.
Todays kayak still resembles those of yesteryear quite closely. The narrow body adopted by almost every type of kayak serves to make the boat aerodynamic and manoeuvrable through the water. The word 'kayak' roughly translates to 'man's boat', inferring that they were always meant to be quite personal crafts. The paddle has followed roughly the same design throughout the evolution of the kayak too, as it allows for the pushing back of water, and thrusting of the body of the boat.
This is actually quite a complex question, as in modern times we have a range of different types of kayaks available to anyone. They are engineered to tackle certain special conditions and are often different from each other in a number of ways. Kayaks are also made out of different materials depending on purpose. But before we go ahead, Kayaks will usually weigh around 40 – 80lbs. We will specify if the types of kayaks we are talking about are a bit different.
What materials are kayaks made out of?
You might know this material from being what plastic bags are made out of. Thankfully, the kayaks utilise polythene pellets or powder in a kayak mould. Kayaks made out of this material are often able to be sold for quite a cheap price, the only downside is that these kayaks are quite heavy. This means that they are a lot less manoeuvrable.
This material is plastic reinforced with glass fibers. It is used to make swimming pools and hot tubs, as well as surfboards. This is the mid-priced and mid-weight option in terms of materials.
This material is widely renowned as the most advanced kayak material. The most lightweight, meaning that a composite kayak is easy to manoeuvre through any sort of water. Though a kayak made out of this material will only come at a high price.
White-water kayaking involves very rapid streams of water. One must navigate their way through range of different rivers and streams, all moving very fast. These kayaks are made to withstand a lot of contact with rocks and other solid things. Kayakers need these models to be as durable as possible, whilst also being lightweight to avoid any significant damage to the hull.
These kayaks are quite different than white-water kayaks. Touring kayaks only really have to take on calmer and less unpredictable waters, so this means they can stand to be a bit heavier and a bit less durable too. This means that they usually come to an average weight, dependent on the material used to make them.
Though kayaking is often seen as quite a solitary activity, many like to take part in it as part of a partnership. Thankfully for them, there are kayaks made exclusively for those that like to bring someone with them on their travels. Tandem kayaks feature a second seat or hole in which another person can sit and paddle. But, with this being the case, they often weigh a lot more than normal kayaks.
With the need for ease of transport and portability being a big thing, designers have engineered kayaks that are easy to use and pack away as well. One of these innovations comes in the form of the folding kayak. Usually made from flexible material and easily movable covering, these kayaks fold up to allow for packing away and transporting. These kayaks often weight quite a bit less than normal kayaks at around 30lbs as their frame is made from wood or aluminium to allow for easy folding.
Another invention that tried to tackle the need for portability, inflatable kayaks work in a wholly different way to normal kayaks. They are made of a thick, flexible plastic and they need to be inflated to work. The kayak will not float on the water unless it is blown up fully. But when it is, it floats along the water as easy as any other sort of kayak would. Some of these inflatable kayaks are so light that they actually allow for storage in back packs and rucksacks. All one needs to do is deflate the kayak and roll it up tightly. This means that these kayaks weigh a whole lot less, usually under 20 lbs.
How do I find out the weight of my kayak?
If you've got a kayak but don't know the weight of it, it can be risky bringing it out and letting people use it. The best way to find out the weight of a kayak is to use a search engine. Type in the exact model of your kayak and see what comes up. Oftentimes, sellers of kayaks and other water sports vehicles will include details about the dimensions of the craft for those looking to buy it. This will enable you to see exactly how heavy your kayak is.
Think about it this way, you store your kayak somewhere in your house, so to get it to where you need it to be, you need to put it in the car. That involves some heavy lifting, once you are at your destination, you will also need to take the kayak off of the car and transport it down to the water. And bare in mind, that after you've had all your fun, you'll need to get it back on the car and back in it's storage place! So, you don't want to be second guessing just how heavy the kayak is going to be, as you may find yourself unable to carry it.
You also need to know how heavy it is to know just how much weight it can take before sinking into the water, because that won't make your day out very fun at all! A light kayak might not be able to take the amount of people you need it to.
Now that you know all there is to know about the weight of a kayak, we wish you the best of luck with your excursion! Have fun and stay safe when you are on the water.


After our reception, we went to Macau with my parents. Macau is an interesting city in its unique cultural blend. It used to be a colony of Portugal, so Portuguese influence remains in the architecture and cuisine. We walked around the city when we first got there, and checked out some local food and the ruins of St. Paul's cathedral.
Macau is basically a Vegas in the middle of Asia. The casinos there look identical to the ones in Vegas; when you walk into the Wynn or MGM here, it literally seems they were cloned in Vegas and plopped down on the other side of the planet. However, as a former Vegas frequenter, I have to say, Vegas takes the cake. More free drinks, more nightlife, and higher ATM limits (even though I don't even like gambling). We ate twice at a restaurant called Dom Galo, which specializes in Portuguese fusion food. We usually prefer to try as many different places as possible when on vacation, but this place was so good we had to come back two days in a row.
We did stay in one of the nicest hotels we've ever stayed in though. The Grand Lisboa is what one expects of extravagant gambling cities: ornate, elaborate, excessive, and shiny. Unfortunately, it was a bit rainy when we visited. We spent one of our afternoons here drinking in our luxurious hotel room with my brother, then hit up some casinos afterwards.

Suéter ―también escrito como Sueter― fue una banda de rock argentino formada en agosto de 1981 y disuelta en diciembre de 2007. Suéter fue una de las bandas más emblemáticas del movimiento dentro del rock argentino de inicios de los años 1980 conocido como música divertida, el cual renovó el ambiente y fue crucial para que el rock argentino recuperara la energía y el estilo bailable característico con el que se expandiría por Latinoamérica.

Incomprendida por muchos, su música fusionó diferentes estilos como el pop rock, la new wave, el reggae, el rock and roll, el rock espacial, entre otros más. A diferencias de otras bandas contemporáneas a ellos, su fama y consagración fue de un leve ascenso y se caracterizaron por sus constantes cambios de formación y separaciones informales. Si bien varió de integrantes, los originales fueron: Miguel Zavaleta (teclado y voz), Gustavo Donés (bajo), Juan del Barrio (teclados) y Jorge Minissale (guitarra). En su primera etapa grabaron cuatro discos de estudio.

El estilo musical de Suéter tenía influencias de la corriente new wave como Devo, Duran Duran o A Flock of Seagulls, mezclando un sonido único con letras humorísticas y bailables, aunque también con baladas pop rock con letras más cercanas al amor y también de contenido crítico, político y social. En su obra conceptual Misión ciudadano I de 1987, las letras fueron concebidas para dar a entender como la hipotética primera misión espacial de la Argentina en la luna, lo que provocó la primera separación en 1989, en parte a la poca difusión que tuvo el material por estafas de la discográfica, sumado a la difícil situación económica argentina a fines de los '80, la cual llevó a que la industria discográfica se replegara y quedaran muchas carreras musicales truncadas de otros artistas.

La banda se reunió en 1994, con Zavaleta como único miembro original, con los que graba un año más tarde la placa Suéter 5, que contiene el hit «Extraño ser», en colaboración con Andrés Calamaro. Luego de ese éxito pasajero, se separaron nuevamente. La banda volvió por tercera vez a principio de 2002, con la formación de 1982: Zavaleta, Donés, Minissale y del Barrio. Con esta alineación duró hasta mediados de diciembre de 2007, cuando a los conflictos internos, se sumó la muerte de Gustavo Donés; lo que hizo que los demás integrantes se desintegre definitivamente y tomaran caminos por separado. La revista Rolling Stone y la cadena de televisión MTV Latinoamérica, posicionó la canción «Amanece en la ruta» en el puesto #95 de Las 100 mejores canciones de la historia del rock argentino. La versión hispanoamericana de la señal Vh1, posicionó a «Amanece en la ruta», uno de sus más grandes hits, en el puesto número #71 de Las 100 grandiosas canciones de los 80 en español según VH1 Latinoamérica. Además de «Amanece en la ruta», «Extraño ser» es considerada su canción más exitosa a nivel comercial y uno de los últimos éxitos del grupo en actividad. Sus canciones han sido versionadas por otros tales como Andrés Calamaro, Nicole y Man Ray.

Comparten con Los Abuelos de la Nada, Soda Stereo, Patricio Rey y sus Redonditos de Ricota, Virus, Serú Girán y Sumo, entre otros, como una de las agrupaciones de rock argentino más convocantes de los años ochenta.

Historia

Antecedentes (1975 - 1981)
A mediados de la años setenta, Zavaleta lideró la banda Bubu; que se caracterizó por su propuesta musical y teatral, cuya tendencia se emparentaba con la música sinfónica o progresiva de la época con influencias como King Crimson, Emerson, Lake & Palmer o Genesis y que comenzaron a presentarse bajo el nombre de Sion ya sin Miguel, que se fue a Europa a principios de la años ochenta para escapar de la dictadura militar de Argentina. A su regreso, en 1981 formó Suéter.

Gustavo Andrés Donés, antes de Suéter, había formado parte de la banda de apoyo de Los Hermanos Makaroff, Pastoral y Merlín. Esta última, Donés la integraba al momento de formar el grupo de Zavaleta, luego de reemplazar a Edgardo Folino en el bajo. Juan del Barrio había formado parte de M.I.A, Sr. Zutano y Spinetta Jade. En 1981 fue convocado por Zavaleta para integrar la primera formación. En los años setenta, Jorge Minissale fue músico de apoyo de Litto Nebbia, Moris, Tren Plateado (banda que contaba en sus filas a Beto Satragni y Miguel Vilanova) y MAM (con Omar Mollo), además de tocar en numerosos teatros de la zona céntrica, durante cuatro años. Entre los grupos más destacados en los que tocó, se encuentra Trigémino.

Juan del Barrio Integró destacadas bandas del rock argentino en los años 1970, como la cooperativa musical M.I.A. (co fundada por él y Lito Vitale), Sr. Zutano, Spinetta Jade, etc.

A comienzos de los años 1980, Argentina atravesaba una feroz dictadura cívico-militar, autodenominada Proceso de Reorganización Nacional. Este golpe de Estado, que se instauró el 24 de marzo de 1976; hizo que les fuera difícil a la banda y a otras, poder llevar una carrera musical, debido a la censura, ejercida tanto del gobierno militar como de los medios de comunicación afines al gobierno autoritario. En 1981, tras volver de su auto-exilo en Ibiza, Miguel Zavaleta retorna a sus estudios de abogacía, aunque los abandonaria al poco tiempo, para formar su banda.

Origen del nombre
El guitarrista Jorge Minissale explicó en una nota de un portal de radio, por qué el grupo se llamó Suéter:

En una entrevista de 2008, Zavaleta dio el porqué del nombre del grupo:

En 2020, Zavaleta explicó en una entrevista en el diario Clarín que otro nombre posible para la emergente agrupación hubiese sido La banda del fin del mundo, sin embargo, dado el contexto trágico en que se hallaba Argentina por esos años, Zavaleta descartó por completo ese nombre.

Período 1981-1989

Antes de la formación inicial (Zavaleta-Donés-Minissale-del Barrio), el grupo era un combo, con miembros rotativos y/o esporádicos. Entre los músicos que pasaron por el naciente proyecto, fueron: Edgardo Folino (bajo), Frank Ojstersek (bajo) y Eduardo Rogatti (guitarra). Su primer álbum lo grabarían con esta formación: Miguel Zavaleta (teclado y voz líder), Juan del Barrio (teclados), Daniel Colombres (batería), Gustavo Donés (bajo), Jorge Minissale (guitarra) y como coristas a Fabiana Cantilo, Claudia Puyó y Celsa Mel Gowland.
Al poco tiempo de su surgimiento, el grupo es convocado para interpretar una partitura musical creada por Carlos Cutaia (ex Pescado Rabioso y La Máquina de Hacer Pájaros) que servía de fondo para la ópera rock sobre Romeo y Julieta, cuyo estreno fue en 1982 en el teatro Coliseo.

1982: Debut en Ferro e incidentes

Su álbum debut homónimo fue editado en el año 1982 (al que también se lo conoció como La reserva moral de Occidente, una humorada hacia los militares del Proceso), conformado por diez canciones emparentados con el pop rock, entre las cuales estaban «Como un barco lleno de lauchas», «Sin porteros», «Atrapado en el hielo» y «El pecarí». Lamentablemente, el disco pasó casi desapercibido, aunque empezaron a convocar algunos fanáticos. Su debut oficial fue el 25 de diciembre de 1982 cuando fueron invitados por Charly García a abrir junto a Los Abuelos de la Nada una presentación en el Estadio Ferrocarril Oeste, que era parte de la gira de promoción del álbum Yendo de la cama al living de García. Pese a los preparativos para la ocasión, no fueron bien recibidos: el público los rechazó arrojando objetos al escenario y cuando alguien del público gritó "que se vayan", Zavaleta respondió "si querés que me vaya andate vos, flaco"; hecho que precipitó el descontrol del show y la salida apresurada de la banda del escenario. La falta de prueba de sonido y del ensayo - a raíz de una lluvia -, puso tensa a la banda, y en particular a Zavaleta.

El segundo show más importante de la banda después de Ferro, fue el conocido festival de La Falda (Córdoba), en donde la experiencia se volvería a repetir: no hubo agresiones a los músicos, pero no fueron tomados en serio.

1983: Movimiento divertido

El 10 de julio de 1983, se llevó adelante en la provincia de Tucumán, el festival Cerrorrock '83, pensado para reflejar las propuestas musicales de todo el país, llamando a artistas de diversas ciudades del territorio nacional. En el festival se presentan por Buenos Aires grupos como: Hangar, Orions, La Torre, Virus y Los Abuelos de la Nada. Mientras que por la ciudad de Rosario tocan: Juan Carlos Baglietto, Silvina Garré, Fito Páez y Jorge Fandermole. En ese espectáculo, efectuaron su presentación: Nito Mestre, Miguel Cantilo, Los Abuelos de la Nada, Fontova Trío, Claudia Puyó, Zas, Rubén Rada, Oveja Negra, Alejandro Lerner, Fantasía y los propios Suéter. El balance de esta nueva forma de difundir el rock fue positivo y aunque no asistió una gran cantidad de espectadores, al grupo como al resto de los artistas, les valió la experiencia para mostrar nuevamente que el rock argentino podía ser un espectáculo para todos, sin distinción de edades.

El 9 de julio de 1983, tocaron en el Estadio Obras Sanitarias, ya con Claudio "Pato" Loza en reemplazo de Daniel Colombres y sin Juan del Barrio, consiguiendo la consagración y el reconocimiento en Argentina.
Al año siguiente ingresó Fabián Quintiero como tecladista invitado. A Zavaleta le pareció ocurrente apodar a este último como Fabián «Von» Quintiero, hecho que marcó la carrera de dicho artista posteriormente.

La banda fue parte en primera instancia del movimiento denominado Música divertida, corriente que surgió a comienzos de los años 1980, caracterizado por su sonido bailable influenciado por el twist de los años '60, el rock teatral y el ska, y el uso de letras humorísticas e irreverentes, con críticas y burlas a la sociedad, la política y los militares, además de letras picarescas que hablaban de temas tabú en Argentina hasta ese momento como sexo, cirugías plásticas o transexualidad.

Además de Suéter, entre las principales exponentes de la música divertida estuvieron: Viuda e Hijas de Roque Enroll, Los Twist, Los Helicópteros, Virus, Las Bay Biscuits, Los Abuelos de la Nada y Soda Stereo.

1984: «Amanece en la ruta» y éxito masivo

A partir del suceso que causó su canción «Amanece en la ruta», su primer gran éxito, perteneciente a su segundo álbum titulado Lluvia de gallinas editado bajo el sello DBN en el año 1984, alcanzaron el reconocimiento tan deseado. «Amanece en la ruta » alcanzó un éxito notable, siendo muy difundido en las radios. Paradójicamente, el tema fue incluido en el álbum a expensas de los técnicos del estudio de grabación, ya que el grupo no estaba muy convencido de que pudiera ser exitoso. El álbum fue producido por la propia banda y Daniel Grinbank para DG discos. De esa misma placa, sobresale el sencillo «Mamá planchame la camisa». Esta canción sería la primera del grupo en tener su primer videoclip promocional. Otro tema de ese disco fue «Manifestación de escépticos» compuesto por Zavaleta y Minissale, el mismo estuvo dedicado al exarquero de Boca Juniors Hugo Orlando Gatti.

Pese a la calidad del álbum Lluvia de Gallinas, de estilo progresivo/psicodélico, la banda no consideraba que este trabajo fuera en su momento su gran oportunidad de alcanzar el éxito masivo:

«Nuestra gran oportunidad va a ser cuando vayamos por el cuarto o quinto long play y realmente seamos comprendidos como quisiéramos ser comprendidos. El primer disco no fue un éxito discográfico pero fue un éxito en varios sentidos. A partir de él pudimos hablar de igual a igual con cualquier músico.

A pesar de todos los problemas que tuvimos con el público, para mi fue un éxito como artista. Ahora los productores dicen que "Lluvia..." va a ser una pegada", pero a nosotros no nos interesan las ventas más allá de que nos brinden la posibilidad de seguir grabando. Lo único que nos interesa es hacer buena música. Si quisiéramos hacer plata compondríamos un chamamé rock o un twist o una balada para que lloren todos. Lo que nosotros queremos es hacer música alegre de calidad. Y acá, los hits no se construyen con calidad, aunque en el rock argentino hay compositores de hits que son excelentes músicos.

Nosotros podríamos hacer hits pero no lo hacemos porque somos mucho más ambiciosos. Queremos que el verdadero hit de Sueter sea su trayectoria no un tema.» - Entrevista a Miguel Zavaleta, realizada en junio de 1984 por la revista Pelo.

Durante 1984 y 1985, corría el rumor de una posible separación de la banda, debido a que sus integrantes tenían importantes proyectos paralelos, y por el desgaste físico y anímico de sus miembros. Zavaleta entre tanto, participaba en bandas con otros diversos artistas como Comida China, Los Proxenetas Prófugos y Ray Milland Band. Muchas de estas agrupaciones solo editarían un disco o dos y no tendrían mayor trascendencia.

1985: Consagración definitiva

Hacia 1985, los miembros de la banda vuelven a tener contacto con García y este produce el siguiente álbum de la banda, 20 caras bonitas en ese año, grabado y editado bajo el sello Interdisc.

Esta placa contiene las canciones más exitosas del grupo como: «Vía México», canción bastante difundida que hablaba sobre la ilegalidad del divorcio, en momentos en que la Argentina se preparaba para establecer la ley que lo admitía. Aunque el nuevo trabajo no tuvo éxito en su momento, sobresalen canciones como el semi reggae «Él anda diciendo», «Comiendo gefilte fish» y la adaptación libre de «Jugo de tomate frío» (canción del grupo de blues Manal), de la cual hicieron su propia versión libre. Ya para ese entonces, el éxito era considerable para la banda. Como muchos otros grupos con las mismas propuestas musicales que tenía Suéter, son invitados a programas de televisión ómnibus como Cable a Tierra, Sábados de la bondad, Feliz domingo y Badía & Cía.; al mismo tiempo que tocaban en renombrados pubs underground como Cemento, Palladium, entre otros.

1986: Cambios de formación

En el año 1986, por diferencias con Charly García, Jorge Minissale abandona la banda, debido a que García no dejó que tres canciones de Minissale (solo con excepción de «Amor a la italiana»); quedaran en el disco. Minissale diría años más tarde: "Cuando Charly se puso a escuchar (el disco), me saltaron todas las alarmas. Me dijo: Tus temas son de otro disco; los eliminó, y se cayó todo mi castillo de naipes." Su último show con la banda, lo da el sábado 19 de julio de ese mismo año, en Paladium. Tras esto, Minissale deja la agrupación, para dedicarse a un nuevo proyecto llamado Radio Shakespeare, e ingresaron José Luis "Sartén" Asaresi en guitarra y Alejandro Desilvestre en teclados.

A mediados de ese mismo año la revista musical Canta Rock, en su edición 60°, le dedica la portada hecha con un dibujo a los integrantes de la banda, con un reportaje exclusivo y una miscelánea con acordes uno de sus temas para tocar con la guitarra.

1987: Misión ciudadano 1 y fracaso comercial

Los cambios continuaban y para su disco Misión ciudadano I editado en el año 1987, Claudio Venier sucede a Pato Loza en batería. Este disco es una opera rock, que la mente de Zavaleta le dio forma pensando en la hipotética primera misión espacial de la Argentina en la Luna. Otra particularidad de este trabajo del grupo, es que ya no solo se basaba en una obra conceptual enteramente musical, sino que inclusive estético.

En Misión ciudadano I, los músicos emplearon una serie de vestimentas que emulaban a los trajes espaciales como si fuesen parecidos al de los astronautas de la NASA, y que utilizaron a partir de todas sus presentaciones para promocionar la placa discográfica. La temática que tenían los trajes hacían referencia a la estética muy similar del grupo estadounidense Devo. Dentro del arte de tapa interior del disco se ve a Asaresi, Zavaleta y a Donés en fila con la frase: «El Suéter del año 1987: tres astronautas pletóricos de argentinidad tratando de trasladar nuestro caos al cosmos», cuya interpretación consiste en los problemas socios políticos y económicos que atravesaba la Argentina a fines de la años ochenta durante el gobierno de Raúl Alfonsín. De este disco salió el sencillo «Ciudadano ilustre» y se destacan las canciones «Vladimir Soplanuk» y «Antes de que explote mi planeta».

1988: Impasse
Sin la repercusión esperada para su último álbum, la banda entra en una pausa a comienzos de 1988. Mientras entran en un receso indefinido, en ese mismo año, su compañía discográfica Interdisc lanza un compilatorio llamado Suéter Completo, que básicamente recopila los tres primeros álbumes del grupo.

«Estaba cambiando el paradigma y aparte la grabadora ya me había condenado de entrada. Alguien me estaba usando para algo. Fue un disco que no tuvo difusión y eso fue una impotencia horrible. Lo que me pasó en el año 88 fue que me había quedado enganchado en un contrato asqueroso con unos cretinos y quedé condenado. Fue un momento de mi vida horrible, porque no me dejaron ni siquiera lanzarme como solista. Después de eso ―durante unos 4 o 5 años― me dediqué a dar vueltitas por ahí, a jugar tenis, a pasear, boludear... Recién me volví a enamorar de la música cuando volví con el disco Suéter 5». - Miguel Zavaleta.

En julio de 1988, durante un impasse de Suéter, Zavaleta realiza una gira latinoamericana, acompañado al cantautor Nito Mestre. Visitaron Santiago (Chile) y Machu Pichu (Perú), con gran éxito.

1989: Primera separación
En 1989, la banda se separa y Miguel emprende su carrera como solista sin demasiado éxito. Graba dos long plays, uno de ellos fue producido por Pedro Aznar. Sin embargo no fueron editados comercialmente y uno de esos discos, aun permanece inédito. Después de su fracaso en solitario, Zavaleta se retiró de la música por cuatro años, aunque entre 1988 y 1994, participaría en grabaciones de otros artistas emergentes como Fena Della Maggiora, Man Ray, Los Auténticos Decadentes, Los Pericos, Bersuit Vergarabat, entre otros.

Período 1994-1995: breve regreso a los escenarios y nuevo disco

Retornaron en 1994 con Zavaleta como único miembro original, con la colaboración de Diego Chorno en guitarra y teclados, Silvio Furmansky en guitarra, Jorge Álvarez en batería y Raúl Chevalier en bajo (luego reemplazado por Laura Gómez Palma y Daniel Castro). Con esta nueva formación la banda edita en el año 1995 su quinto álbum de estudio titulado Suéter 5, que es producido por Andrés Calamaro. Zavaleta declaró que el disco estaba dedicado a todos los portadores de sida. En este material también participaron Hilda Lizarazu y Fabiana Cantilo, colaboradoras de la banda desde sus inicios. La placa contiene los sencillos «Señorita Inés», «Joe Gay» y la más destacable del álbum con la temática directa sobre el sida y la homosexualidad: «Desvanecidos», que narra la historia real de cuatro amigos de Zavaleta, que murieron enfermos por el virus VIH. La tapa del disco, estaba representada con los colores de la bandera LGBT.

De este disco sobresale el éxito «Extraño ser», que es grabado a dúo con Calamaro y es promocionado con un videoclip. Si bien esta canción fue un éxito, según Miguel la idea de incluir a Calamaro no le gustó.

Reportero:¿Cómo fue cantar «Extraño ser» con Calamaro?
Zavaleta: «Fue un error, porque yo odio llamar a mis amigos famosos para hacer cosas como esas. No quiero tener contactos a ese nivel, pero el productor de aquel momento me insistió para que lo llamara a Andrés, y yo como un tarado acepté la propuesta. Y aunque yo nunca quise que ese fuera tema de difusión ―no sólo porque no quería llamar a Andrés para hacer eso sino también porque ese tema ya lo había sido― lo mandaron igual como tema de difusión, y así tuvimos que hacerle un video clip, en el cual también aparece Andrés, al que le tuve que pedir que participe, haciéndole perder un día de su vida ―para filmarlo― muriéndose de calor... Estoy muy avergonzado de eso, él igual lo comprendió; pero es algo que nunca me perdoné, porque quedó como que yo le quería robar, chupar fama a Andrés y eso es algo que yo odio soberanamente».- Miguel Zavaleta, entrevistado el 16 de agosto de 2011.

Pese a este inconveniente y tras el éxito del disco, Zavaleta se retira nuevamente de la escena del rock hasta 2002. En el año 1997, su compañía discográfica PolyGram, (anteriormente llamada Interdisc); vuelve a editar otro álbum recopilatorio de la agrupación bajo el título de Elefantes en el techo.

Período 2002-2007: retorno, muerte de Gustavo Donés y separación definitiva
A fines de los años noventa, los miembros originales ya habían hecho sus carreras con diversos proyectos. Minissale había formado en 1995, la banda Mamporro y a su vez era guitarrista de Los Twist. Juan del Barrio editó un disco titulado Piano (1996) y se dedicaba a la enseñanza musical, Gustavo Donés era músico de sesión y era el bajista de la banda que acompañaba a Horacio Fontova. Por otra parte, Miguel se había abocado al tango, e hizo presentaciones en teatros y en la televisión junto al maestro Mariano Mores, acompañado por Daniel Melingo, Pipo Cipolatti, Omar Mollo y Claudia Puyó.

En 2002, se reunió la formación original que había grabado el primer disco en 1982: Zavaleta, Donés, Minissale, Del Barrio; y con el baterista Jorge Álvarez. Hicieron su primer concierto en vivo en la señal de televisión Canal CM, interpretando todos sus hits. Luego de casi un año de realizar presentaciones por distintos pubs de Buenos Aires, el 2 de agosto de 2003, hacen su primer show en un teatro, la cita fue en el teatro Premier y la banda sonó como en sus mejores épocas, tocando todos sus hits que marcaron una época en los 80: «Vía México», «Amanece en la ruta», «Extraño ser» y «Como un barco lleno de lauchas», que contó con la presencia de Hilda Lizarazu como invitada. En agosto de 2003, muere en un accidente automovilístico a los 47 años, el baterista Jorge Álvarez y es reemplazado por Hernán "Fresa" Robic. Entre 2005 y 2006, realizaron una gira nacional presentándose en las ciudades más importantes de la Argentina.

La banda continuó en actividad y en enero de 2007, se presentan en la ciudad de Mendoza, mientras preparaban un nuevo material de estudio.
El último recital de la banda, lo dieron en el teatro ND Ateneo el 8 de noviembre de 2007. Allí interpretaron sus clásicos y temas que serían parte de un sexto disco de estudio, que se titularía como "Hacete ver" y que pretendía salir en pocos días.

Sin embargo, un mes exactamente después este último concierto, el 8 de diciembre de ese año, fallece el bajista Gustavo Donés y debido a conflictos internos, el grupo se separa definitivamente al poco tiempo dejando el nuevo disco inédito por algunos años. Debido a la separación final del grupo, «No lo sé, suerte quizás» (que pretendía ser el sexto material de Suéter), se convirtió en el primer álbum solista de Miguel Zavaleta, lanzado en el año 2011 a través de su propia página web.

Estilo musical de la banda

Influencias

En la creciente ola que se había gestado en Europa a principios de los ochenta con el new wave, el post punk y el synth-pop, la banda siguió la temática y estética de bandas como A Flock of Seagulls, Duran Duran, Devo o Simple Minds. También tenían influencias por artistas de rock progresivo de los 70's, como Frank Zappa, Genesis, Steely Dan, Pink Floyd y todo lo que se llamó art rock, vanguardia, experimental, funk, etc. La agrupación se enfocaba en interpretar canciones de llenas humor y ritmos bailables, temáticas que rozando con el posmodernismo.  En sus comienzos, se caracterizaron por un sonido mucho más experimental, al estilo de grupos como King Crimson, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Psychic TV o Einstürzende Neubauten.

Años 1980

En su disco debut de 1982, sus letras abordaban temáticas muy pocos comunes, desde una canción de amor sobre un hermano que tiene síndrome de down en «Su única diferencia»; pasando a contar la historia de dos cerdos muy molestos y dadivosos en «El Pecarí», hasta describir todo tipo de maneras de seducir mujeres en «Métodos». Todas estas canciones tenían como sostén el humor. El disco no fue bien recibido por la crítica y el gran público y quienes los seguían, eran de un público completamente reducido y fanático.

Con la salida de su segundo trabajo discográfico en 1984, el éxito de los hits los sacó del underground. Ya en ascenso, la banda comenzaría a experimentar con sonidos cercanos al new wave, aunque sin perder su singular estilo intercalado con el humor. En el álbum se encontraban géneros impensados para la época, como el rap y el disco. Entre dichas canciones se encuentran, «Mamá planchame la camisa», «Ella quiere a muchos», «Vivo de noche», etc. Si bien la banda marcaba un estilo singular como Los Twist o Sumo, supieron tener su lado «serio» con canciones peculiares como «Amanece en la ruta», que hablaba de la muerte en primera persona tras un accidente en auto, que llevó por mucho tiempo la frase «una tragedia hecha hit» y «Nada es como fue», dedicada a las Madres de Plaza de Mayo.

Su tercer álbum de estudio, 20 caras bonitas (1985), fue su disco más maduro a nivel musical e interpretativo, que los consolidó como uno de los grupos más populares del momento, llegó a ser disco de oro. Canciones como «Vía México», «Él anda diciendo» y «Comiendo gefilte fish», fueron hits que -pese a no haber tenido reconocimiento en su lanzamiento inicial- supusieron clásicos del grupo. La primera tocaba un tema tabú por ese entonces en la Argentina: la ley del divorcio. La segunda marcó un cambio en el estilo del grupo al experimentar con el reggae y la tercera es una crítica a la sociedad cosmopolita y consumista bonaerense. Otro tema destacables es «Noche sin regreso», que habla según Zavaleta en una entrevista en la revista Canta Rock de 1986: "infancia rota, de la persona destruida en su infancia, que le sacan la fuerza y que después no puede amar u odiar". García no solo produjo el material, sino que también escribió y grabó con la banda, una adaptación libre del clásico de blues «Jugo de tomate frío» de Manal, que inclusive su autor, el baterista Javier Martínez, llegó a decir que era la mejor versión y más divertida de su canción.

Tras el éxito pasajero, compondrían a continuación su disco menos vendido y el más experimental, Misión ciudadano I (1987), cuyas letras abordaban sobre la posible expedición de astronautas de origen argentino en la luna. Con el fracaso del disco y con estafas por parte de la grabadora, la banda se disolvió.

Años 1990
La escena del rock argentino a comienzos de los años 1990, cambió radicalmente, por lo que en el retorno de la agrupación, dejaron sus sonido new wave y adoptaron un estilo más basado en el protagonismo de la guitarra, el bajo y la batería. A comienzos de esa década, la Argentina atravesaba varios periodos de inestabilidad política, económica y social, durante el gobierno peronista de Carlos Saúl Menem, cuyo gobierno se caracterizó por sus políticas neoliberales. Esto no fue ajeno al arte, y en particular la música: empezaron proliferar bandas de heavy metal como Hermética, Nepal, o grupos de rock fusión como Los Auténticos Decadentes o Bersuit vergarabat, que criticaban al capitalismo y la desigualdad social. Con estas corrientes y otras, muchas de las bandas que triunfaron en la década anterior en el circuito mainstream, no encajaban con estas nuevos sonidos y estética; salvando excepciones como Soda Stereo. En paralelo, apareció una nueva tendencia musical llamada «Nuevo Rock Argentino» o también conocida como «Movida sónica»; cuyos exponentes fueron Babasónicos, Los Visitantes, Juana La Loca, Los Brujos, Peligrosos Gorriones o El Otro Yo. Para fines de 1993, Zavaleta decide volver a retomar su carrera y refunda Suéter, siendo el único miembro original de 1981. Su sonido pasó a ser simplemente pop rock y con tendencias más tradicionales. En septiembre de 1995, lanzarían su último material Suéter 5; que tocaba la problemática del virus del VIH/sida y estuvo dedicado a todos los portadores de dicho virus. El material fue producido por Andrés Calamaro y Camilo Iezzi (ex integrante de Los Twist). Además de visibilizar la discriminación y estigmatización de personas que padecian de esta enfermedad, la banda retoma su singular manera de hacer canciones con toques de humor con canciones como «Bolero», «Guruses» o «El book».
La canción «Desvanecidos» contaba la historia de cuatro amigos de la vida real de Zavaleta, que padecían de dicho virus, le pedían que le dedicara esta composición. Con este álbum, el éxito vuelve. El tema, «Extraño ser» es su canción más famosa y su último éxito comercial. Ya había sido grabada por el dúo Man Ray en 1988, pero con una letra improvisada por su cantante Hilda Lizarazu, expareja de Zavaleta. Tras esto, a fines de los años 1990, Zavaleta se retira nuevamente de la música.

Questions about ongoing games
For example, the question I played 2.f3 by accident! How do I save my position? seems to be about an ongoing game ("I almost feel like resigning here"). Consulting other people about a game in progress is against rules of almost all (correspondence) chess sites and clubs. Should we discourage such behaviour by not answering (or closing) these questions?
One can always say that we don't know the exact rules of the game being played, and it's not our business to find out if the OP is breaking rules. Or probably that it is not our business even if we know that the OP is breaking rules. On the other hand, I'd suggest that in these cases the OP should clearly say if he is not breaking any rules, because otherwise it seems very likely that this is cheating. Anyway, I think we should not deliberately encourage cheating.
This was also asked as a side question in Questions about chess.stackexchange.com but newer answered, and I didn't find any other related results.

I would also like to know what are the guidelines for this, as discussion of ongoing games is strongly discouraged or outright disallowed (and rightly so in my opinion) on almost all chess forums. – GrizzlyRawrz Apr 2 '14 at 18:58
Just to make it clear, the guidelines are whatever we (by which I mean the sum total of site users, not the mods or some other body) decide them to be right here in this thread. It's a community-run site, so it's the votes on meta that will set our policy on the matter. – ETD Apr 2 '14 at 22:46
I don't think that we should close general questions just because a specific game is still in progress. The question might still be useful to other people, and the game will end eventually. – WilQu Apr 3 '14 at 10:24
@WilQu They could always ask the same question after the game has ended, though. Then it will still have the same use both to the asker and any others reading it, but without providing (very likely unfair) help to one side of an ongoing game. – GrizzlyRawrz Apr 3 '14 at 15:01
@GrizzyRawrz what about all similar ongoing games? Right now, there may be many players who played 2.f3 in an ongoing game, and we can't prevent them from visiting chess.stackexchange.com. That's why I think it doesn't make sense to close a question because of one specific game. Besides, even if we closed those questions, the asker can omit the fact that his game is still in progress. – WilQu Apr 4 '14 at 14:21
These types of questions puzzle me. Is the community being complimented? Our collective judgement is better than any of the very powerful, free chess engines out there? When answering questions (usually about games that have finished) requesting analysis I never use an engine. I usually but not always mention this in my answer. It is clear to me that anyone who has access to the necessary computing power to ask a question here has access to powerful engines. – Brian Towers♦ Mar 20 '17 at 12:15
I'm posting opposing answers for users to vote in support of.
NO, questions about ongoing games are not acceptable. Any questions in which it is indicated the subject is a game in progress should be closed.
YES, questions about ongoing games are acceptable, and it's not for us to decide whether the questioner is abiding by the rules of the particular game.
This is a tricky subject. It is one thing to ask about a position after the second move. It is another thing to ask about middlegame and endgame positions. Having a bunch of closed questions would not be too great. Perhaps we should discourage these questions as they pop up and in some cases rephrase them to be more useful for the broader audience. Automatically closing such questions can prove itself to be counter-productive. It could also prove itself to be the right way to go...it depends on what sorts of users this site will attract...

The UTS trials for 2012 for men & women are coming up soon.
There are 2 weeks of trials and potential players should attend both. This is the time to come along if you are looking to play with the UTS Volleyball Club through the SVL competition as well as weekend State Cups. If you are new to the club then just come along on the day or you can get in touch with the club earlier if you can't make those times.
Women: UTS Sydney Boys – Saturday 25th & Sat 3rd March – 2-5pm Honours players from last year to attend from 3.30pm.
Check out this link for the new gym as well.
The UTS 2012 Annual General Meeting was held on Saturday the 15th January.
Clearly a very formal meeting. You can tell by the kids table.
As has been typical of the UTS AGMs for the last 10 years at least, this was a time to sit down and catch up with our volleyball friends after the Christmas break, organise the year ahead, and share some some drinks and food.
We will share the full minutes, including all the important dates and details very soon.
You are currently browsing the UTSVC blog archives for January, 2012.
