Yale Daily News 3:28 am, Sep 11, 2014
Whatever. Business Insider released a piece on Wednesday titled “19 Incredibly Impressive Students At Harvard.” It is not worth summarizing.
James Franco isn’t the only Hollywood big shot on campus. Director Neil Burger ’85 returned to campus yesterday for lunch with students in Calhoun College and a Master’s Tea. His filmography includes directing “The Illusionist,” “Limitless” and “Divergent.” Burger originally graduated from Yale with a degree in fine arts and explored experimental filmmaking directly after Yale.
Knuffle Beinecke. The Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library is acquiring the papers of Mo Willems, a beloved author and illustrator of children’s books. Willem’s creations include Knuffle Bunny, the irascible Pigeon and Elephant and Piggie. The library will now own a number of Willem’s sketches, notebooks and book drafts.
Abbey Road. In an effort to curb the excessive jay-walking around campus, the University has instituted a new awareness campaign that features administrators posing in an Abbey Road homage. Police Chief Ronnell Higgins (George), University President Peter Salovey (Paul), Professor Kirsten Bechtel (Ringo) and Provost Ben Polak (John) are depicted in a series of new signs crossing the road in the style of the Beatles’ album cover. “Please Use the Crosswalk,” the poster reads. Now it is only a matter of time before their bluegrass Beatles covers album hits the stands…
World Domination. As expected, the Yale Corporation is slowly taking over the world. Gina Raimondo LAW ’98, who was elected to the Yale Corporation by alumni this summer, won Rhode Island’s democratic gubernatorial nomination Tuesday.
Fat fest. At Ordinary’s Cocktail Lab last night, drinkers were treated to a “Fat Manhattan” made from fat washed Johnny Drum Bourbon, Meletti Amaro and Aztec bitters served with a salt, pepper, sugar and salemme rim. For those in search of a coma, the drink was paired with a pulled pork dish featuring bourbon bacon fat and a fried local egg.
Beyond Yale Dining. The best tell of fall, better than the leaves changing color, is the debut of Union League Cafe’s fall menu. The restaurant announced their first fall dish this week — a pan-seared chatham cod with parsley root brandade, garlic confit and sea beans.
THIS DAY IN YALE HISTORY 1967 Ronald Reagan announces intentions to visit Timothy Dwight College.

| Human torso found on Crown Street

Human torso found on Crown Street
Stephanie Addenbrooke 2:57 pm, Jul 30, 2015
Following the discovery of four severed limbs — two legs and two arms — earlier this month, police officers found a human torso today at 274 Crown St.
New Haven Police Department spokesman David Hartman confirmed this afternoon that officers from city forensic investigators and state police found the torso around noon. The victim has not been identified, but the torso could have belonged to Ray Roberson, whose severed legs were discovered on July 15 close to the State Street train station.
A pair of arms found close by have not been identified as belonging to Roberson, although Hartman said the state Department of Emergency Services & Public Protection, Division of Scientific Services notified police that the two were likely connected. Hartman earlier said in a press conference that it would be “disturbing” if the two discoveries were not linked.
274 Crown St., where the torso was discovered, shares a parking lot with the now vacant Salvation Army building located at 301 George St. The building is known to be a place frequented by the city’s homeless. Yesterday, police received information that Roberson was one of those people, and they obtained a search warrant for the building and began to investigate around midnight.
Roberson was last seen alive on May 20.

| Narrow Ward 1 vote to be recounted

Narrow Ward 1 vote to be recounted
Noah Daponte-Smith 3:29 am, Nov 05, 2015
Staff Columnist
Joey Ye
Tuesday night’s Ward 1 aldermanic race was the closest in recent history — close enough to trigger an automatic recount by the Connecticut Secretary of State’s Office.
Ward 1 Alder Sarah Eidelson ’12 beat Republican challenger Ugonna Eze ’16 by a 17-vote margin. While Eidelson originally held a 50-vote margin of victory at the New Haven Free Public Library — the main polling place for Ward 1 — the count of the same-day registration votes at City Hall dropped the margin below the 20-vote threshold necessary to force a recount in the race. Connecticut state law mandates that the recount must be completed by Nov. 10.
Eidelson said Wednesday she knew an automatic recount was underway, but said she was unaware of its details.
Tyler Blackmon ’16, president of the Yale College Democrats and a staff columnist for the News, said he doubts the recount will cause the result of the election to change.
“I don’t know the full details, but my understanding is that it’s just close enough that it’s required by law,” Blackmon said. “I certainly don’t expect for things to change substantially either way.”
Mollie Johnson ’18, Eze’s campaign manager, said the campaign looks forward to hearing the outcome of the recount.
The turnout of 759 voters at the polls was high, nearly matching the figure achieved during Eidelson’s 2013 race against Republican challenger Paul Chandler ’14. The line stretched outside the door in the hours before polls closed and the last ballot was not cast until 8:30 p.m. — a half hour after the official closing time. Poll moderator Andria Gieryk turned away roughly 10 voters from the polls after 8:00 p.m. when the polls closed.
Recounts are uncommon in Connecticut elections. In 2014, no race for state legislature proceeded to a recount, and no mayoral race in New Haven has gone to a recount in at least four decades.
However, irregularities in Bridgeport’s ballot count forced a two-week long recount of 6,000 ballots following Gov. Dannel Malloy’s 2010 race against Republican Tom Foley.
No other aldermanic race in New Haven will go to a recount this year. Beaver Hills incumbent Claudette Robinson-Thorpe’s 274-vote margin of defeat to endorsed Democrat Jill Marks was the city’s second-tightest victory.

NHPD rolls out body cams
Jever Mariwala 1:30 am, Nov 02, 2017
Thirty New Haven police officers began body camera training on Nov. 1, the New Haven Police Department announced at a joint press conference with Mayor Toni Harp on Wednesday.
After roughly three months of training, the officers will wear cameras throughout their shifts — but turn them on only during specific daily operations. The cameras will capture video and audio evidence during high-profile crimes in the city, NHPD Police Chief Anthony Campbell ’95 DIV ’09 said at the press conference.
“Most importantly, the body cameras are a vision for a more collaborative and interactive community model of community policing,” Campbell said. “This vision is Mayor Harp’s vision to bring up our department to the 21st century.”
This week, in-field training will begin, and the NHPD will launch the use of body cameras to provide all the advantages they bring to public safety, Harp said. Some of the benefits of the use of body cameras include more precise evidence collection, more accurate documentation and improved communication between the police and the public, she added.
Assistant Chief Racheal Cain and Sergeant Rose Dell spearheaded the departments’ efforts to phase in the program. Cain and Dell researched different cameras available to the force, developed two pilot programs for the body cameras, wrote the guidelines for camera usage and are overseeing the training of officers, Campbell said.
After the system is completely phased in, every sworn member of the NHPD will be issued a body camera, he added.
The state provided the NHPD with $770,000 to reimburse costs that occur in the first year of operations and will allocate $350,000 per year to fund unlimited storage of recorded footage, Cain said.
Officers who complete months of training will learn know specific instances in which the camera should be turned off and on, Dell said. Rules crafted by Cain and Dell specify that the camera should be used solely when officers are carrying out official duties, since having the camera on at all times generates too much data, making storage difficult. However, there are instances during official duties when the camera should not be on, like when an officer deals with juveniles or sexual assault victims, Campbell said.
After officers finish their shifts, they return to a docking station at either department headquarters or a satellite station. When they dock the camera, the footage will be uploaded to a secure cloud. Officers will be able to view footage of their cameras from issued cell phone, Cain said.
Media will gain access to body camera footage by submitting a Freedom of Information Act request. But during high-profile situations, he said, the department may release videos independently.
Harp decided to host a pilot body camera program several years ago to get a better sense of what really transpired in what appeared to be an “increasing number of controversial police actions across the nation.”
“It was challenging,” said officer Reginald McGlotten, who was trained in the initial pilot program. “It was weird at first to remember to turn [the camera] on every time you get a call. Over three months, though, we have adjusted.”
Before the program, Campbell said, some police officers bought and used their own cameras to accurately track their outings.
“Both the community and the members of the police department will have greater safety, accountability and transparency as a result of the policy,” Campbell said.
According to Campbell, the NHPD will wait two to three weeks before the next round of training for officers. This will allow the department to reveal the “kinks in the system” before streamlining the process.

| Local organizations march for adult education
Kelly Wei
Local organizations march for adult education
Kelly Wei 2:36 am, Sep 27, 2019
Lukas Flippo
Over a thousand education activists gathered in New Haven on Thursday to call for increased resources for adult learners.
According to the Connecticut Association of Adult and Continuing Education Center, one in six New Haven residents hold a high school diploma. On Thursday, CAACE hosted the march, which began on Columbus Avenue before moving across Church Street and culminated on the New Haven Green. After the march, the group hosted a community resource fair on the Green and listened to a medley of speeches from local leaders. Over 80 groups — from local non-profits to health care providers — participated in the event. One such agency was the Cornell Hill Health Center, which checked vitals for attendees on the Green.
“We are taking a positive approach and we’re not blaming the victim,” said Veronica Douglas, family advocate and community resource director of the New Haven Adult & Continuing Education Center. “We understand that the struggle is real for our students — struggles like lack of employment, lack of daycare, and poverty… Many of those issues are not their fault. We understand the struggle is real and want to continue to put wrap-around solutions in place.”
Dwight Hall helped publicize the event, and the University partly funded the community resource fair. This is the first time that Dwight hall has coordinated with CAACE.
CAACE hopes to continue this partnership with Yale by fostering a relationship between New Haven students and Yale students, Douglas said. Ly added that Dwight Hall recognizes the importance of adult education in breaking down barriers to opportunity.
“We are excited for what’s to come in this new partnership. Although we do not know [exactly what] lies on the horizon ahead, we hope to continue supporting the great work of the New Haven Adult & Continuing Education Center through student volunteer and fellowship programs,” Dwight Hall coordinator Serena Ly ’20 said.
Nearly 30 percent of New Haveners struggle to read, according to Michelle Bonara, who is the director of New Haven Adult Education. Many of these individuals now have children, and increased access to adult education can have positive effects across generations, Bonara said. Douglas added that by returning to school, many parents can inspire their children to continue pursuing their studies.
According Douglas, CAACE has worked on creating a public image that encourages adult students to understand that their struggles are common. They have created promotional videos and put up billboards pushing that message.
“The first goal is to get more people going through the doors,” said Douglas. “No longer do we want to be that building near the flea market.”
New Haven is not the only city participating in initiatives geared to increase awareness around adult education. 20 of the 40 adult education centers in Connecticut met on the New Haven green to advocate for this cause. New Haven Mayor Toni Harp helped the group in planning the march.
“We’re looking [to create] awareness. We want to see an uptick in adult enrollment across Connecticut,” said Bonara. “Overtime we’re looking to make a real dent in the alarming number of individuals across the state.”
CAACE also has an English as a Second Language program that helps individuals from 83 different countries improve their speaking and writing skills. Over 40 million adults in the US have low literacy, including 20 percent of those with high school diplomas.

Buy Clear Aligners Smile Direct Club Colors And Sizes
In June, the thin, transparent plastic trays that fit over her top and bottom teeth can be found in the mail. McKinney is working through the series slowly, swapping the first set for the next, and the next, as her teeth move. It’ll take about 9 months in all. However after 3 months of using these trays almost every day and night, McKinney is thrilled about flaunting her brand-new smile (Buy Clear Aligners Smile Direct Club Colors And Sizes).
Danny Menendez/ BuzzFeed News Inside among SmileDirectClub’s New York City areas. SmileDirectClub’s service model appears to be working. Align Innovation– the company that makes Invisalign, SmileDirect’s primary rival– invested $46.7 million to end up being SmileDirect’s unique provider in 2015, and this year invested another $12.8 million, to own an overall of 19% of the company.
On the other hand, lookalikes have actually released with similar services: Orthly, released by two University of Pennsylvania students, now offers services to consumers in Philadelphia, and Candid Co. released in New York this summertime. A SmileDirect customer can be matched with one of 225 affiliated dental experts or orthodontists in all 50 states. These oral experts remotely examine patient cases and then create the aligners that SmileDirect sends out in the mail.
The business declined to call any of the medical specialists within its network, and would not provide details about its financial relationships with them. “Essentially they are collecting payments and paying us marketing costs,” Fenkell stated.”I believe that claim is rather fake,” AAO’s general counsel Dillard said. “The consumers do not even see a dental professional.
(SmileDirectClub has a two-star rating on Yelp.) And lots of professional dentists are alarmed that customers never ever see a licensed medical professional prior to or throughout their treatment.”It blew my mind,” Casi Stubbs, a Florida orthodontist and member of the American Association of Orthodontists, informed BuzzFeed News. Like normal orthodontists, SmileDirect’s dental professionals base their prescriptions on computer simulations of mouth scans.
“The teeth do not move biologically like they do on the computer system,” Stubbs stated. Among her patients, 60-year-old Charlene Burnham, is a SmileDirect consumer whose too-tight aligners cut her gums, exposing part of her tooth near the root. Burnham told BuzzFeed News she spent a week trying– and failing– to consult with a SmileDirect dentist on the phone, then went to Stubbs for aid.”They were bleeding, they were cut to the root,” Burnham said.
“I was appalled.”A SmileDirect representative told BuzzFeed News by e-mail that company-affiliated dental experts “track the client’s progress throughout treatment at routine intervals.”The company “assists in the communications” of clients and dental providers, the representative stated. “Oral suppliers interact straight with clients through the consumer portal and through SMS or phone when proper or shown.”In a YouTube video that’s been viewed over 21,000 times given that June, Baltimore orthodontist Jeffrey Miller cautioned individuals away from the service, saying that no orthodontist would ever recommend aligners without very first taking the X-rays that SmileDirect skips.
(The video was gotten rid of after this story published.)Grant Olson, a dental expert in Springfield, Missouri, informed BuzzFeed News that the company’s product marketing, which compares itself with orthodontist-fitted Invisalign, is misleading. Unlike Invisalign trays, which orthodontists can optimize by sticking special accessories on a tooth, SmileDirect’s item is limited to extremely minor corrections: The aligners can remedy a tilt, however can’t move a tooth’s orientation or position together with its root.
He described that SmileDirect-affiliated orthodontists only approve cases that are suitable for a remote assessment and don’t need follow-up dental check outs (Buy Clear Aligners Smile Direct Club Colors And Sizes). Laws for dental professionals vary across states, however there are some typical styles in the 36 complaints sent by the AAO: Some states consider making impressions and offering retainers to be the function of a certified doctor, however SmileDirectClub typically supplies those services.
AAO basic counsel Dillard also told BuzzFeed News that the business’s organisation model incentivizes dentists affiliated with SmileDirect to recommend the trays even if they aren’t needed. Danny Menendez/ BuzzFeed News Although the business hasn’t attracted the attention of regulators yet, consumer grievances are plentiful online. TL; DR: Prepare for a bumpy flight.
The huge majority of customers in these groups resign themselves to handling the snags due to the fact that there are just no other choices (Buy Clear Aligners Smile Direct Club Colors And Sizes).”If you can be patient, desire a budget friendly strategy, SDC IS properly to go! Having a positive mindset and being patient goes a LONG method,” Melanie Masso wrote to BuzzFeed News.
For numerous other customers, the ride is a bust. Seattle resident Melissa Gulick informed BuzzFeed News that at the end of nearly a year of treatment, the aligners have ruined her bite: Her front teeth touch before her molars can make contact (Buy Clear Aligners Smile Direct Club Colors And Sizes). “I’m pretty irritated– food is tough to chew now and they won’t repair it!”Gulick said that after grievances to the company, SmileDirectClub consented to continue treatment free of charge.
When inquired about problems that the trays messed up clients’ bites, a SmileDirect agent told BuzzFeed News: “Over 95% of our clients total treatment and sign off on their finished brand-new smile. It is essential to keep in mind that with any orthodontic treatment, bites will continue to shift until the treatment is finished.”Another consumer, 24-year-old Drexel College student Kacie Durham, told BuzzFeed News that SmileDirectClub sent her a simulated treatment plan that made her teeth look worse.”It actually made my teeth appear more uneven at the bottom,” she stated.
Durham returned her trays and applied for a refund. Later on, an orthodontist not affiliated with the business told her that her teeth would have to be filed and shaped before they might be lined up. Durham felt deceived: SmileDirect had actually approved her for a treatment that would never ever have actually worked.”If a possible consumer is unhappy with the 3d sneak peek of his/her smile, there is no commitment to buy aligners,” the SmileDirectClub agent said (Buy Clear Aligners Smile Direct Club Colors And Sizes).
Minelle Tendler, a Boca Raton orthodontist, signed up with among the most significant Facebook groups, the 11,800-member SmileDirectClub Support, after two of her patients inquired about the product. In perusing the posts that appear in her Facebook feed, Tendler said that she’s not seen anyone say they’ve had the ability to talk with a dental professional at the company.
“You’re asking somebody who has no oral background, ‘Is this going to work?'”More than as soon as, Tendler has actually stopped short of responding to threads on the forum. She sits on her hands due to the fact that the clients are not hers. “I’m looking at the pictures and thinking, Oh my god, you need to get teeth taken out, do not do it.”Mostly, she is stressed that people who are charmed by SmileDirectClub’s low cost aren’t fully familiar with the downsides of skipping an oral visit.
A previous version of this short article misidentified him as an orthodontist. Align Innovation owns 19% of SmileDirectClub. A previous version of this story specified it was 17%. Also, SmileDirectClub started operating in North Carolina in early October. A previous version of this story, based on an August interview with cofounder Alex Fenkell, stated that the business was not operating in North Carolina.
Mail-in aligners might appear like an excellent choice for a small fix. However remember you’re not the professional on how minimal a fix your teeth need. “It’s hard to go from something that’s 90% good to make it 100% best; in my experience, I discover that these are the harder cases,” Dr.
The outcomes of utilizing invisible aligners can be exceptionally unpredictable, due to the fact that some people respond well to them and others won’t. “It’s very difficult to monitor this on your own, because– like whatever in medicine– not everybody responds the very same,” he says. The genuine difficulty comes with figuring out how to fix your smile if you’re not responding properly to the retainers, he says.

Unlike Invisalign trays, which orthodontists can optimize by sticking unique accessories on a tooth, SmileDirect’s product is limited to very slight corrections: The aligners can fix a tilt, but can’t move a tooth’s orientation or position in addition to its root.
He explained that SmileDirect-affiliated orthodontists only authorize cases that appropriate for a remote consultation and do not require follow-up oral gos to (How Much Smile Direct Club Clear Aligners). Laws for dental experts differ across states, but there are some typical themes in the 36 complaints sent by the AAO: Some states think about making impressions and providing retainers to be the function of a certified medical professional, however SmileDirectClub usually provides those services.
AAO general counsel Dillard also informed BuzzFeed News that the company’s business model incentivizes dental professionals associated with SmileDirect to recommend the trays even if they aren’t necessary. Danny Menendez/ BuzzFeed News Although the company hasn’t drew in the attention of regulators yet, consumer grievances are plentiful online. TL; DR: Get ready for a bumpy trip.
The large bulk of customers in these groups resign themselves to handling the snags because there are merely no other choices (How Much Smile Direct Club Clear Aligners).”If you can be client, want an inexpensive strategy, SDC IS properly to go! Having a favorable attitude and being patient goes a LONG way,” Melanie Masso wrote to BuzzFeed News.
For many other customers, the ride is a bust. Seattle resident Melissa Gulick informed BuzzFeed News that at the end of practically a year of treatment, the aligners have destroyed her bite: Her front teeth touch prior to her molars can make contact (How Much Smile Direct Club Clear Aligners). “I’m quite frustrated– food is difficult to chew now and they will not repair it!”Gulick said that after grievances to the company, SmileDirectClub concurred to continue treatment totally free.
When inquired about grievances that the trays ruined customers’ bites, a SmileDirect representative told BuzzFeed News: “Over 95% of our consumers complete treatment and approve their ended up new smile. It is very important to keep in mind that with any orthodontic procedure, bites will continue to shift until the treatment is completed.”Another consumer, 24-year-old Drexel University student Kacie Durham, told BuzzFeed News that SmileDirectClub sent her a simulated treatment strategy that made her teeth look worse.”It in fact made my teeth appear more uneven at the bottom,” she stated.
Durham returned her trays and made an application for a refund. Later on, an orthodontist not affiliated with the company informed her that her teeth would need to be submitted and formed prior to they might be lined up. Durham felt deceived: SmileDirect had approved her for a treatment that would never have actually worked.”If a possible client is unhappy with the 3d preview of his/her smile, there is no responsibility to purchase aligners,” the SmileDirectClub representative stated (How Much Smile Direct Club Clear Aligners).
Minelle Tendler, a Boca Raton orthodontist, signed up with among the greatest Facebook groups, the 11,800-member SmileDirectClub Assistance, after 2 of her patients asked about the product. In browsing the posts that appear in her Facebook feed, Tendler stated that she’s not seen anyone say they’ve had the ability to talk with a dental professional at the business.
“You’re asking somebody who has no oral background, ‘Is this going to work?'”More than when, Tendler has actually stopped short of replying to threads on the online forum. She rests on her hands because the clients are not hers. “I’m taking a look at the images and thinking, Oh my god, you require to get teeth taken out, don’t do it.”Primarily, she is stressed that individuals who are wooed by SmileDirectClub’s low rate aren’t totally familiar with the downsides of skipping a dental go to.
A previous version of this article misidentified him as an orthodontist. Align Innovation owns 19% of SmileDirectClub. A previous variation of this story mentioned it was 17%. Also, SmileDirectClub began running in North Carolina in early October. A previous variation of this story, based on an August interview with cofounder Alex Fenkell, stated that the company was not running in North Carolina.
Mail-in aligners may appear like a great option for a slight repair. However bear in mind you’re not the professional on how minimal a fix your teeth require. “It’s challenging to go from something that’s 90% good to make it 100% best; in my experience, I discover that these are the harder cases,” Dr.
The results of utilizing unnoticeable aligners can be very unpredictable, because some individuals react well to them and others won’t. “It’s really hard to monitor this by yourself, because– like whatever in medication– not everybody responds the exact same,” he states. The genuine trouble comes with figuring out how to correct your smile if you’re not reacting properly to the retainers, he states.

*NEW* SING REVIEW *NEW*
March 19, 2017 July 22, 2017 by pmbayobale, posted in Animation, Best and worst films, Children's movies, Cinema, Comedy, Family movie, Film essay, Hollywood, Movie review, Uncategorized
Easy going toe-tapping fun.
In a city of humanoid animals, a crafty koala’s (Matthew McConaughey) attempt to save his theatre with a singing competition becomes grander than he anticipates even as its finalists’ find that their lives will never be the same.
I don’t know why the family put this on (considering our youngest is now 23) but I’m glad they did. A much needed tonic after all the hard hitting super serious Oscar flicks.
The cast were fantastic. I actually didn’t believe that all of them sang. I skimmed through the credits to double check (and for the awesome soundtrack listings).
Of course, a killer soundtrack is crucial in a singing competition and Joby Talbot selected some great choices. I did NOT expect to hear a chimp singing Elton John’s I’m Still Standing.
Or open the show with Kanye West’s Flashing Lights. Seriously, I wanted to revisit the albums on my iPod right there and then BUT I digress.
Matthew McConaughey nailed it as the bumbling Buster Moon. Desperate to save the theatre that his father bought him and spurned his love for the arts. Swindling and squeezing every penny he could.
Until that wonderful light bulb moment. A singing competition. With a cash prize. However, one silly typo from his scatty secretary Judith and that strapped for cash prize changed from $1,000 to $100,000!
Cue one mad little movie.
It was silly BUT entertaining fun that left me smiling. Funny, charming and one for the whole family.
You could argue that all the characters were loosely strung together around the American Idol style competition. BUT you could relate to them all in one way or the other.
Reese Witherspoon was brilliant as Rosita, the frustrated pig housewife desperate to break free from her hum drum routine. I knew she could belt out the tracks. Let’s not forget she won an Oscar for Walk The Line.
Any excuse for Seth MacFarlane to belt out the Sinatra tracks and he’s there. Always slipping a croon-sesh into Family Guy whenever he can. He marvelled as Mike the mouse. The mini street hustler out to earn a quick buck.
My future wife (I hear she’s divorced now) Scarlett Johansson nailed it as Ash, the punky porcupine desperate to sing her own songs instead of the generic tripe that everyone keeps forcing her to play or her moronic boyfriend’s metallic nonsense.
Her reaction when Buster suggested she sang Carly Rae Jepsen was great!
I couldn’t believe Eddie the Eagle could sing. Taron Egerton continues to surprise. He was brilliant as Johnny. The kid chimp desperate to break away from the life of crime to become a singer.
Peter Serafinowicz (Shaun of the Dead) was on top form as Johnny’s mobster monkey dad (appropriately titled) Big Daddy. Completely oblivious to his son’s desires and determined for one last score.
I wasn’t familiar with Tori Kelly. Only that she had a duet with Michael Buble once. BUT she had one hell of a voice and played the part of Meena, the stage shy elephant perfectly.
I know, an elephant with stage fright. The mind boggles.
The animation was excellent and there were genuine moments where I laughed out loud. All I’ll say is car wash. That and a nervous buffalo with flatulence.
The supporting cast were on fine form featuring the likes of Jennifer Hudson, Jennifer Saunders, John C. Reilly, Nick Offerman, Leslie Jones and Rhea Perlman. The list goes on.
It’s corny, cheesy BUT easygoing. A lot better than the disappointingly droll Trolls.
It did the job and killed the time.

Industrial complex of the former Białogońskie Works along with an industrial residential estate
A comprehensive industrial complex originating from the 1st half of the 19th century, preserved in the urban scale, characterised by representative factory buildings and extensive residential and administrative buildings — subordinated to an axial spatial arrangement.
The works in Białogon near Kielce were to serve the purpose of smelting copper, silver, and partially also lead from the local deposits. The construction was started in 1814, according to a design by J. F. Moritz; the metalworks were named "Aleksander". The infrastructure created had symmetrical, axial layout and is comprised a complex of factory buildings and a workers' housing estate. In 1817, a water system including a pond with a causeway, weirs, and internal hydro-power system, was commissioned. In 1820, the construction of the works was completed and at the same time the construction of the workers' housing estate was started. The estate was designed by German constructor Karol Khake. The metalworks were closed in 1827 due to technical problems, but soon thereafter Prince Drucki-Lubecki (the then minister of treasury of the Kingdom of Poland) decided to convert the works into a machines factory. The conversion and modernisation were carried out under the supervision of engineer W. Preacher. In 1831, new rolling mill departments (of copper, brass, and lead) and a new sheet metal tin coating department were commissioned, and in 1834 — a cast iron foundry; in 1832, the forge was extended. Also the hydro-power supply system was converted, with a new great wheel on an iron shaft. In 1836, the modernisation was ended and the site of the works was fenced. Between 1833 and 1845, the factory was administered by the Bank of Poland. The works in Białogon had then the greatest capacity of mechanical energy in the Old-Polish Industrial Area, and 240 people of staff. Industrial production devices for local industrial facilities were manufactured here, and also farming equipment and various tools. In the 2nd of the 19th century, the works fell into decline. In 1898, engineer L. Skibiński started to lease the works; he restores them, replacing old devices and introducing new technologies. Mass production of cast iron pipes and outlet pipes is commenced; new workers' houses also start to appear. After the World War I, the works remain in the hand of the Skibiński family and operate under the name of Mechanical Works and Cast Iron Foundry "Białogon", with the production profile unchanged. In 1939-1944, the factory is managed by German occupation authorities. In 1945, the whole plant is nationalised. In the 1960s., a thorough modernisation of the plant was commenced; its production profile and name were modified (Kielce Pump Factory "Białogon"), most of the machine park was replaced (the old machines were donated to the Museum of Technology in Sielpia), there were conversions and extensions, and new facilities were created. The water system was diluted (part of the pond and uncovered channels were filled). In 1997 the plant was purchased from the State Treasury by a joint-stock company with shareholding of the plant's workers. At present, it operates under the name "Kielecka Fabryka Pomp BIAŁOGON S.A." (Kielce Pump Factory "Białogon" Joint-Stock Company) and produces pumps and cast iron moulds.
The industrial complex is located in the south-western district of Kielce (former Białogon settlement is now included into the administrative borders of the city), by the route to Cracow. It was created based of the principle of comprehensive planning and completion of investments, applied in the 1st half of the 19th century. All spatial elements were subordinated to the principle of axial arrangement, with the system of access roads and the representative factory architectural complex at the entrance used as a framework; the water system was left aside, outside the boundaries of the complex. The main accent of the layout was constituted by a complex of factory buildings with a square in front of if, located on the side of the housing estate and shaped as a half of a decagon. The square gathered outlets of five radial streets opening to the gate of the factory yard. The main, widened street, built along the axis of the plant towards the east, connects the plant with the route Kielce-Cracow, and the street perpendicular to it separates the plant site from residential buildings also today. The factory complex was originally comprised of four separate pavilions encasing the factory square from three sides. The square was enclosed from the east by a gate flanked by two symmetrical gate-houses and auxiliary buildings. Of this historical buildings, whose symmetrical axial layout had been distorted as a result of continuous evolution of the production functions of the plant, only three main buildings (partially converted): the middle buildings of the former metalworks and forgery, and side buildings which were once rolling mills and a gate-house, were preserved until today. Built on rectangular plans and featuring variegated proportions, they were made of split stone, were one-storey, with gable roofs. They were originally plastered. The former metalworks were converted into a workshop hall, and later on into a warehouse (currently, it is not used), and the former rolling mills — into auxiliary buildings (currently used only partially). The water system is no longer discernible within the site, and neither the adjoining residential estate avoided substantial spatial and construction interference. The layout of streets has been preserved, but only some residential houses made it to our times, and even those were significantly transformed (mainly by extensions and modernisation of the façade). They were one-storey buildings, partially with basements, with half-hip roofs; built on a rectangular floor plan, featuring a two-bay layout, and originally intended for 2-4 families. Next to the residential houses, there were also supplementary facilities housing a school, offices, house of the management board — also currently converted and transformed into flats. In the north-eastern part of the square of the residential estate, there is a wooden church, founded in the early 20th century by L. Skibiński, the then lessee.
The site is fenced and available upon arrangement with the User; the area of the housing estate is generally accessible, the houses are owned by private owners

Blast furnace plant
Kuźniaki
An example of the 19th-century industrial complex in Poland with a blast furnace of a distinctive, pyramid-shape shaft.
The area of today’s Świętokrzyskie, abounding in ore, wood and water, has been known for its steel industry for ages. The industry began to flourished in the 1st half of the 19th century, mainly due to the investment of the government of the then Congress Kingdom of Poland. Besides larger plants, also smaller private initiatives were developing, among them the first furnaces in Kuźniaki. Already in the 2nd half of the 18th century, Kużniaki was home to, first quarter- and then half-furnace integrated with a water hammery (perhaps at the beginning of the 19th century in the possession of the Kołłątaj family). In 1844 there were three metallurgical plants active in addition to the blast furnace. In the years 1860-1870, a new blast furnace was constructed operated the Jewish entrepreneur, Szlama Orner. Modified ca. 1890, the furnace was operated until 1897. The products were pipes, grids, sheet, crosses, and railings. After the decommissioning of the blast furnace, a wheel-driven mill was installed in the adjacent building, using the existing water system. later it was powered by a turbine and operated until 1955. The plant was closed down in the following years and the buildings fell into disrepair. In the years 1967-1968, the blast furnace was secured against collapse. By the 1980s, the water system had been considerably transformed: the spillway was disintegrated, the causeway was converted into a road, the canal was destroyed and the pond turned weedy. The condition of the production building (later the mill) without the equipment dramatically deteriorated. Only the blast furnace structure has endured the test of time as a clear, permanent ruin (in the 1960s it was secured by the personnel of Zawiercie Steelworks). It has remained so ever since. Today, the area around the blast furnace is a private property; it is fenced and clear although no specific information about its historical value is provided. Visible are also the remnants of the former water system, especially the old spillway, overflow and outlet duct.
The remains of the plant are to be found between a small river (part of the watercourse of the Wierna River) and the municipal road Kielce-Mniów. Of the former blast furnace plant, only the ruins of the furnace are left along with the traces of the water system (an outline of the pond and causeway, the outlet duct under the road, parts of the underground canal, partly filled up with stone debris). The area of the plant is in private hands; next to the remains of the furnace, there are meadows, an orchard and garden, and residential and farm buildings. The blast furnace has survived as a permanent, yet visible ruin in the shape of a truncated, narrowing pyramid, square in plan with a circular interior; at the base of the furnace, there are four arched openings. The structure was built of quarry stone (local reddish sandstone) with the wedge elements in the openings and corner elements at the sides; the wall is partly covered with vegetation.
The area around the blast furnace is fenced; the structure is visible but beyond reach (private property); other elements of the water system are generally accessible

Remains of blast furnace works
Bobrza
individual and monumental spatial arrangement demonstrating daring plans, execution and technique of the former industrial construction, as well as the landscape value of the complex
The former blast-furnace plant is one of the monuments of technology which has developed for centuries in the region today known as Świętokrzyskie. The northern part of the region which is now referred to as Old-Polish Industrial Region or Old-Polish Industrial Area, was a site for ore mines, blast furnaces, iron works and manufactures of tools and armaments. Planned industrialisation started after 1815, in what then constituted Russian Partition, mainly due to the activity of Stanisław Staszic, priest Drucki-Lubecki, and the Bank of Poland. The remains of the blast furnace works originate precisely from that period. The construction was started in 1926 in accordance to a design by mining consultant Lempe, which envisaged five blast furnaces along with accompanying structures. Until 1830, the following structures were built: a reserve pond with lower and upper channel, retaining wall for the plant area on which warehouses, coal depots, auxiliary furnaces and residential buildings were erected; the blast furnaces themselves were not constructed - work had been stopped by the November Uprising, and was never resumed thereafter. In 1833, the Bank of Poland, the then owner of the facility, located a nails manufacture in Bobrza, which was liquidated in 1863. In 1873, the works went under management of the Kielce District Office, and as of 1884, they became private property. Subsequent owners carried out their own craft activities here - first, there were blacksmith workshops, then a weaving plant. Supposedly, no new investments were carried out, and the activities were based on the former, adapted, and partially converted structures. Weather conditions (including floods), lack of one purpose, or often improper use resulted in degradation and partial destruction of the complex. In the times of the Polish People's Republic, the works were nationalised, and the Knitting Plant "Elekta" was housed in the complex. In the 1920s, the plant discontinued its activities. In the meantime, the site of the former blast furnace plant and the adjacent area of the water system underwent numerous proprietary changes and their actual status is as follows: area of the former plant (along with the retaining wall) — property of Miedziana Góra commune; water system area and part of the residential estate - private property. In the years after the war, renovations and partial reconstruction of the retaining wall were carried out, as well as maintenance renovations of the buildings in use; the water system was converted for the purposes of a recreational resort. In the recent years, the commune started activities (projects, cleaning works and renovation) aimed at providing access to the former plant and developing the area for public purposes.
The structure is located near the Kielce-Łódź route — at present in Miedziana Góra commune. It is situated on a wide plateau with a steep slope descending to the west, to the river Bobrza, which flows at the foot of the hill. The hill (probably after necessary levelling), surrounded with a retaining wall, was earmarked for the plant site. The intention of the constructors of the early 19th century was that the new industrial complex (located on two levels - a difference of approx. 17 m) would comprise: a complex of production preparation and administration buildings (on the plateau), formidable retaining wall, system of blast furnaces (at the feet of the wall), water system (connected with the river Bobrza), and residential estate with auxiliary buildings (farther into the plateau). The planned size of the complex was impressive - it were to be the largest blast furnace iron smelters comprising the key facilities of the Old-Polish Industrial Area. Only part of the complex was built: the retaining wall, part of production buildings, part of the water system, and the residential estate. Retaining wall - due to its impressive size, thoroughness of craftsmanship and shape reminiscent of the old tradition of earth ramparts, it is without equivalent in Poland. Built on a plan of a shallow U, with total length of approx. 500 m, it is up to 16 m high, ca. 5.5 m thick at the base, and approx. 3.5 thick at the top section. It is made of local sandstone in different shades of brown. It is comprised of irregular main core and external face bound with it, and bricked up horizontally. In times of its existence, the wall was most probably many times repaired and secured and the state of preservation of its individual parts varies. The most spectacular (and best preserved) is its southern part, comprised of two perpendicular sections — a southern and a western one; in the substantial part, the height of the wall preserved is similar to its original height - approx. 16 m. The central and northern sections were heavily destroyed — they are interrupted by landslide slopes, pond marsh, overgrown with vegetation and devoid of the face layer. Water system was planned as a whole and never completed. Until 1830, some elements of the system were built — the bottom working channel, water wheel cage, parts of earth dam, and possibly also the upper working channel. Most of them were obliterated over years by the forces of nature and by human intervention (conversions and adaptations). The system was used, inter alia, for the purposes related to a mill, fish ponds, and recreational resort. At present, the lower working channel and the stone abutment of the weir are discernible. Two coal depots were located on the upper terrace of the blast furnace works. The remains of the southern depot - built on a rectangular plan, survived until today. It was a single-storey structure, with basement and gable roof, made of local split sandstone with brick elements; originally, it was carefully finished and had a wooden shingle roof. At present, only its outer walls and the pillar structure of the ceiling over the basements exist. The building of the former management (smelter master house), which is located further on to the south-east, is a single-storey structure built on a rectangular floor plan, with a half-hip roof. Currently used as a residential building, it retained its original fabric to a significant extent. Also the following buildings survived (even if significantly converted): former industrial hall and part of residential buildings of the in-house estate. The buildings show signs of modest, but stylish Classicist development; they represented robust construction technology of that time, skilfully adapted to the functions dictated by the industry.
Area of the complex is mostly accessible.

Remains of an industrial plant complex
Samsonów
An example of a monumental, carefully designed and laid out - in terms of function, space and technology - industrial complex of the 1st half of the 19th century.
The remains of the former plant are one of the technical monuments of the industry that developed in the Świętokrzyskie region over centuries. The regular industrialisation started after 1815, mainly due to the activity of Stanisław Staszic, the Rev. Drucki-Lubecki and the Bank of Poland. The facility in Samsonów was built in that period. The foundation stone for the new plant was laid in 1818 by the governor of the Congress Kingdom of Poland, General Józef Zajączek, and the facility opened in 1823 and was renamed Józef Steelworks. Some foreign experts were behind the design and construction, among them Bogumił Schmidt and the mining specialist Frederick Lempe, and perhaps Henryk Grabkowski. The complex comprised a blast furnace with iron foundry and workshop as well as a storage and workers’ houses. In 1824 some adjustment were made to the blast furnace and the foundry was commissioned. In 1829 bellows were installed on the water wheel and steam engine, and in 1835 the blast furnace was readjusted again. The production covered pig-iron and military and utility equipment. After the fire of the blast furnace in 1866, the facility ceased its operation, and the facility began to fall into disrepair. During WWI, the hoist tower was partially destroyed in warfare. In 1922 the area of the former plant, as a "mining property with a pond and factory ruins”, was purchased from the Ministry of Industry and Trade by individual investors. In 1976 the property was purchased by the Voivodeship Conservator of Historical Monuments in Kielce for the State Treasury. In the years 1981-1983, the necessary works were carried out to secure the area as a permanent ruin. In 1995 the area of the plant became the municipal property and has remained in the possession of Zagnańsk municipality until today.
The former blast furnace plant is located on the local Miedziana Góra-Odrowąż road, at the junction with the road to Zagnańsk. It originally consisted of a water power system, factory buildings and a residential estate. The reservoir, supplied by the Bobrza River and situated in the south-east part of the complex, was connected by means of an oblique inlet canal with the blast furnace facility; culverts were also originally there. Today, they do not exist any more, nor does the reservoir. The situation of the main complex of factory buildings, gathered around the blast furnace, was designed in a classicistic manner as noble residences of the late 18th century. This is an axial layout, with the central, dominant structure of the blast furnace and hoist tower, and the foundry and yards located farther along the axis; they are flanked by two, symmetrically arranged two-storey production buildings (model shop, drying shop, forgery, paint shop, carpentry). The blast furnace and tower were surrounded by auxiliary buildings, e.g. the coal storage, engine room (controlling the water wheel at the tower and the steam engine by the furnace); there are also inlets of technical canals running under the complex in vaulted underground tunnels. The complex had both a monumental and aesthetic character with well designed proportions. The front wall of the complex (south façade) was a seven-axis structure with a three-panel entrance in a centrally located avant-corps. The blast furnace stands on a base in the form of a cubic block with the truncated cone of the chimney placed on it (originally of considerable height); the adjacent hoist tower is higher - rectangular on the ground floor and pyramid-shaped above (originally topped with a high lantern). Currently, these buildings are in a state of permanent ruin. The layout, scale and proportions of the complex are still visible, yet the detailed architectural solutions have not been preserved. Other auxiliary factory buildings (now in ruins) were scattered on the west and north side of the complex of blast furnace; to the south, outside the yard, there was the housing estate - now only one house has remained, yet considerably altered. The buildings of the plant are made of quarry stone, and the shaft of the blast furnace is lined with bossage. The whole thing was probably plastered, and the architectural design elements were exposed. The roof truss and the ceilings (except for the vaulted basement) were made of wood, and the roofs covered with shingles. The complex is well-maintained and quite well adapted to sightseeing.
The area is partially fenced and publicly available; from Tuesday through Saturday: 8:00-4:00pm - guided tours in consultation with the nearby Tourist Information.

Texas State alumnus brings mini-golf course to San Marcos
By Leanne Castro
Jul 22, 2020 Updated Sep 17, 2020
Putt Pub, an 18-hole mini-golf course with cold drinks, food trucks, games, fire pits, and a seesaw is ready to take a swing at the San Marcos entertainment scene in just a matter of weeks.
Reilly Hursley, a Texas State alumnus, came up with the idea of an adult playground devoted to putting after dreaming about it in 2014. After a years-long journey, Reilly Hursley’s dream will soon become a reality as he prepares to open Putt Pub at 307 South LBJ St.
Putt Pub’s course is designed to follow snuggly around its outdoor mini-golf bar, so visitors never have to venture too far when they’re ready for a cold drink. Reilly Hursley says he has big plans for Putt Pub and hopes it becomes the ultimate Sunday Funday spot.
“Eventually, we want to be doing weekly and monthly tournaments,” Reilly Hursley said. “I’m already envisioning the mini-golf championships of Texas. Let’s make that a thing; let’s host them at Putt Pub.”
Reilly Hursley was determined to make Putt Pub a reality from the start. He was the first person to call the day the old Texaco lot where Putt Pub is now located hit the market. He even went as far as getting the Putt Pub logo tattooed on his arm before securing investors.
He says waking up and seeing his tattoo every day serves as a constant reminder to never give up. That dedication convinced Reilly Hursley’s longtime friend, Omid Kalantari, to become an investor in Putt Pub.
“I could see it in his eyes from the beginning that he was 100% committed to making this thing huge,” Kalantari said. “That’s the driving force that made me dive in, is Reilly and his passion for the place.”
Between completely redeveloping the property and navigating the tricky world of getting a liquor license, to painstakingly designing every last detail of each hole, opening Putt Pub is a journey Reilly Hursley has been on for the past half-decade of his life.
Reilly Hursley’s older brother, Joe, was awestruck watching his brother blossom. He says whatever Putt Pub turns into will be unique and fun.
“He’s had the fortitude and the vision to see it through and the patience. A lot of people would’ve bowed out,” Joe Hursley said. “Seeing him adapt, I’ve been inspired. Nobody was going to do it like he does it.”
Before Putt Pub opens to the public, it must face one last obstacle: COVID-19. Joe Hursley predicts the future of bars relies on offering something unique in order to draw people out of their homes; he sees Putt Pub as exactly that.
“As people are returning to a sense of normalcy, it’s going to be a healthy venue where you’re not on one big roof and breathing everyone’s fumes,” Joe Hursley said. “It’s also an activity where it’s not just about alcohol; you’re out there having fun, creating smiles.”
Reilly Hursley calls Putt Pub “a total dream” and is excited to share it with the community he loves so much. To him, returning to the town where he spent his college years brought his dreams full circle.
Putt Pub is planning to open within the next 60 days. To stay in the loop about opening day, visit Putt Pub on Facebook and Instagram.
Admission to Putt Pub will be $8 per person. On weekday nights after midnight, admission will be half-off. Sunday admission will be $15 for unlimited mini-golf.

The Netherlands Find Four Games in Violation of Country's Gambling Laws
The games have eight weeks to comply or face fines and bans.
News by Matt Kim, News Editor
Is there something you think we should be reporting on? Email news@usgamer.net.
The Dutch Gaming Authority has come to a ruling on the matter of loot boxes and determined that out of ten popular games with loot boxes the commission investigated, four don't comply with the country's Better Gaming Act.
The news comes by way of the Netherlands' public news agency NOS (translated by Stolkie1971). According to the Dutch Gaming Authority, the four games in violation of the Better Gaming Act because they feature "elements in them that can also be found in the gambling world."
A loot box from Star Wars Battlefront 2
The Dutch Gaming Authority ruled that because the cosmetic items could be traded for euro at fluctuating prices, these items have economic value. And since players can earn money for rare items, the games violate the rules of chance.
Companies that do not comply with the Better Gaming Act can be fined or even prohibited from being sold in the Netherlands. While we don't know specifically which games are in violaction of the act, we know that they are games that have loot box items which can be sold through third-party channels.
Of the remaining six games the Dutch Gaming Authority investigated, they found that the loot boxes contained items that could not be traded. Thus they are in compliance with the Better Gaming Act. However, the group still criticized how loot boxes were implemented as slot machines or roulettes.
The Gaming Authority said that it will announce the names of the games that do not comply with the Better Gaming Act if the games are not modified to meet Dutch standards. The companies have eight weeks to modify their games.
Overwatch's loot box items cannot be traded via third-party sites.
It was reported that some of the games tested by the Gaming Authority included Dota 2, FIFA 18, PUBG, and Rocket League. Of those PUBG, Dota 2, and Rocket League include items that can be traded through third-party services.
The Gaming Authority also said that young people are particularly vulnerable to loot boxes and that these in-game mechanics could lead to gambling addiction if the game companies don't intervene.
The loot box controversy has been roiling the games industry since EA's Star Wars Battlefront 2 first brought the issue to public attention. Game companies have responded in very real ways, sometimes altering the ways their game's loot box systems or microtransactions function.
In the U.S. state governments like Hawaii have pushed forward legislation to ban the sales of games with loot boxes to anyone under 21. Other states like Washington have joined in similar legislative action.
Meanwhile the ESRB has maintained that loot boxes are not gambling, but have altered rating labels to include "In-game purchases" to games with loot boxes after a letter from US Senator Maggie Hassan called on the ESRB to act.

Lady Gaga’s Ex-Fiance Christian Carino Is Dating Publicist Robin Baum 6 Months After Split
By Nicholas Hautman
A new chapter. Christian Carino, whose engagement to Lady Gaga ended in February, is dating publicist Robin Baum, multiple sources confirm to Us Weekly exclusively.
Lady Gaga and Christian Carino: The Way They Were
Us broke the news that Carino, 50, and Gaga, 33, were dating in February 2017 after they were spotted kissing ahead of her halftime performance at Super Bowl LI. That November, a source told Us exclusively that the couple were engaged after the talent agent quietly proposed over the summer.

It wasn’t until October 2018 that the A Star Is Born actress confirmed the news of their engagement. While accepting an award at the Elle Women in Hollywood event, she thanked “my fiancé, Christian.”
Hot Rebound Romances
“She isn’t blasting this relationship and putting [it] out there like she might have in the past because of how things hurt with Taylor Kinney,” a source told Us at the time, referencing Gaga’s past engagement to the Chicago Fire star, 38. “She was so open about that relationship, with the public and her fans, so she’s learned from that and has chosen to keep this happiness and healthy relationship [with Christian] to herself. She’s excited to marry Christian, and they are enjoying their relationship to themselves.”

Carino supported Gaga throughout the first half of the 2019 awards season as A Star Is Born picked up multiple trophies, but split rumors surfaced when she attended the Grammys solo in February. Soon after, Us confirmed that she and the CAA agent had gone their separate ways.
An insider revealed that the Grammy winner “was the one who broke things off.”
Gaga has since sparked romance rumors with her monitor engineer, Dan Horton, after they were photographed kissing while having brunch in Studio City, California, in July.
For his part, Carino — who shares daughters Isabella and Lola with ex-wife Brooke Baldwin — has been leaning on friends. On Instagram in June, he thanked Johnny Depp, whose publicist is Baum, for “loving me and helping me heal” in the wake of his separation from Gaga.

Eighteen Players Called To Represent USA At 2019 Concacaf Boys’ U-15 Championship
USA Will Compete in Tournament for Second Time; Team Finished Second at 2017 Edition
CHICAGO (July 25, 2019)—The U.S. Under-15 Boys’ National Team will compete at the 2019 Concacaf U-15 Boys’ Championship at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla. from Aug. 4-11. Eighteen players will represent the USA at the tournament, its second participation in the competition.
Drawn into Group B, the USA will face Haiti on Aug. 4 at 9 a.m., Guatemala on Aug. 5 at 9 a.m. and Suriname on Aug. 7 at 11 a.m. in the group stage. The USA’s games will be streamed by Concacaf and will be open to the public.
Steve Klein, Academy Director at U.S. Soccer Development Academy club PA Classics will serve as the U-15 BNT head coach for the tournament. Players born on or after Jan. 1, 2004 are age-eligible for the 2019 Concacaf Boys’ U-15 Championship. The 18-player roster is made up of 17 players born in 2004 and one born in 2005.
2019 Concacaf U-15 Boys’ Championship Roster by Position (Club; Hometown)
GOALKEEPERS (2): Damian Alguera (De Anza Force; San Jose, Calif.), Gabriel Slonina (Chicago Fire; Addison, Ill.)
DEFENDERS (6): Armando Avila (LAFC; Torrance, Calif.), John Carlos Cortez (New York Red Bulls; Ridgewood, N.J.), Antonio Leone (LAFC; Long Beach, Calif.), Angel Martinez (Seattle Sounders FC; Everett, Wash.), Justin Reynolds (Chicago Fire; Chicago, Ill.), Devan Tanton (UE Cornella/ESP; Barcelona, Spain)
MIDFIELDERS (6): Kenan Hot (New York Red Bulls; Lincroft, N.J.), Allan Rodriguez (Chicago Fire; Elkhart, Ind.), Rokas Pukstas (Sporting Kansas City; Stillwater, Okla.), Evan Rotundo (San Diego Surf; La Mesa, Calif.), Victor Valdez (LA Galaxy; Santa Ana, Calif.), Aethan Yohannes (AZ Alkmaar/NED; Springfield, Va.)
FORWARDS (4): Osvaldo Cisneros (Sporting Kansas City; Omaha, Neb.), Rafael Jauregui (Sacramento Republic FC; Rancho Cordova, Calif.), Federico Oliva (Atletico de Madrid/ESP; Madrid, Spain), Christian Torres (LAFC; Fontana, Calif.)
Following the group stage, the top two teams from each group will advance to the knockout round. Should the USA advance, it will face a team from Group D in the quarterfinals. All four Division 1 groups are listed below:
Forty-two teams across three divisions will compete at the 2019 Concacaf U-15 Boys’ Championship. Divisions 1 and 2 are composed of four groups of four teams, while Division 3 consists of two groups of five teams. The winner of Division 1’s knockout round bracket will be crowned Concacaf champion. Israel, Portugal and Slovenia will participate in the tournament as invited guest teams from UEFA.
The USA entered the Concacaf Boys’ U-15 Championship for the first time in 2017. At that competition, the U.S. rolled through the group stage and semifinal with four straight victories and a plus-14 goal differential before dropping a hard-fought final to Mexico. Gianluca Busio led the way for the red, white and blue with five goals. Eight of the players at the 2017 tournament went on to represent the USA at the 2019 Concacaf U-17 Championship.
The U-15s’ most recent international action came at the 2019 Torneo delle Nazioni in Gradisca, Italy. There, the team finished ninth, highlighted by a dramatic victory over England that saw the USA equalize in stoppage time and go on to win via penalty kicks.
ROSTER NOTES
Twelve clubs are represented on the roster, with 15 players at domestic clubs and three based internationally in Spain (two) and the Netherlands (one).
Chicago Fire and LAFC contribute the most players to the roster with three each. Two players each come from the New York Red Bulls and Sporting Kansas City.
Goalkeeper Gabriel Slonina, defender Antonio Leone plus midfielders Kenan Hot and Evan Rotundo have appeared in all six events of the 2018-19 U-15 cycle.
Slonina signed a MLS Homegrown contract with the Fire in March at 14-years-old, making him the youngest Homegrown signing in MLS history.
ACADEMY NOTES
Sixteen of 18 players have spent at least one season in the U.S. Soccer Development Academy. Fifteen just wrapped up the 2018-19 Academy season last month.
The roster’s players from LAFC helped lead the club to a runner-up finish at the first Boys U-15 Academy Championship.
Defender Antonio Leone won the Golden Ball as the Academy postseason’s best player, while forward Christian Torres tied for the Golden Boot as the tournament’s leading scorer.
Goalkeeper Damian Alguera played up with De Anza Force’s U-16/17 squad during the Academy Playoffs, helping the team reach the national semifinals.
