The valley began providing recreation for urban dwellers in the 1870s when people came from nearby cities for carriage rides or leisure boat trips along the canal. In 1880, the Valley Railroad became another way to escape urban industrial life. Actual park development began in the 1910s and 1920s with the establishment of Cleveland and Akron metropolitan park districts. In 1929 the estate of Cleveland businessman Hayward Kendall donated 430 acres (1.7 km2) around the Richie Ledges and a trust fund to the state of Ohio. Kendall's will stipulated that the "property should be perpetually used for park purposes". It became Virginia Kendall park, in honor of his mother. In the 1930s, the Civilian Conservation Corps built much of the park's infrastructure including what are now Happy Days Lodge and the shelters at Octagon, Ledges, and Kendall Lake.
Although regional parks safeguarded certain places, by the 1960s local citizens feared that urban sprawl would overwhelm the Cuyahoga Valley's natural beauty. Active citizens joined forces with state and national government staff to find a long term solution. Finally, on December 27, 1974, President Gerald Ford signed the bill establishing the Cuyahoga Valley National Recreation Area. The area was redesignated a national park by Congress on October 11, 2000,[3] with the passage of the Department of the Interior and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2001, House Bill 4578, 106th congress.[4] It is administered by the National Park Service. David Berger National Memorial in Beachwood, Ohio is also managed through Cuyahoga Valley National Park.
The Richfield Coliseum, a multipurpose arena in the Cuyahoga River area, was demolished in 1999 and the now-empty site became part of Cuyahoga Valley National Park upon its designation in 2000. It has since become a grassy meadow popular with birdwatchers.
The Towpath Trail provides recreational activities for visitors
Many visitors spend their time hiking or bicycling the parks' many trails which visit its numerous attractions, including the crushed limestone along portions of the 20 miles (32.2 km) Towpath Trail, following a former stretch of the 308 miles (495.7 km) Ohio and Erie Canal.
Waterfalls, rolling hills, caves, winding river scenery attract many park visitors. Steep narrow ravines, a rolling floodplain, and lush farmland contrast one another throughout the park. Animal life is also plentiful. The Ledges provides a boulder-strewn cliff to relax and watch the sunset over the wooded scenery below. Sled-riding is popular during the winter at Happy Days Park.
The park offers an array of preserved and restored displays of 19th and early 20th century sustainable farming and pastoral or rural living, while catering to contemporary interests with art exhibits, outdoor concerts, and scenic excursion and special event railroad tours on the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad.[5]
It includes compatible-use sites not owned by the federal government, including several local regional parks in the Cleveland Metroparks and Metro Parks, Serving Summit County systems, Blossom Music Center, and the Hale Farm & Village. In the mid 1980s, the park hosted the National Folk Festival.
Ohio and Erie Canal Towpath Trail
The multi-purpose Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath trail was developed by the National Park Service and is the major trail through Cuyahoga Valley National Park. From it visitors can make connections to many of the natural and historic sites in the park and to other trails that intersect it along the way.[6] or through one of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park visitor centers.[7]
Restored Ohio & Erie Canal Lock
The Towpath Trail follows the historic route of the Ohio & Erie Canal. Before the canal was built, Ohio was a sparsely settled wilderness where travel was difficult and getting crops to market was nearly impossible. The canal, built between 1825 and 1832, provided a successful transportation route from Cleveland, on Lake Erie, to Portsmouth, on the Ohio River. The canal opened up Ohio to the rest of the settled eastern United States.[7]
There are numerous wayside exhibits that provide information about canal features and sites of historic interest.[8] There is also a virtual tour.[7][9]
Today visitors can walk or ride along the same path that the mules used to tow the canal boats loaded with goods and passengers. The scene is different than it was then; the canal was full of water carrying a steady flow of boats amongst the constant conversations of "canawlers." Evidence of beavers can be seen in many places along the trail.[7]
Stanford House (Formerly Stanford Hostel)
Stanford House located in Cuyahoga Valley National Park, Ohio
Located in the scenic Cuyahoga Valley near Peninsula, Ohio, Stanford House is a historic nineteenth-century farm home built in the 1830s by George Stanford, one of the first settlers in the Western Reserve. In 1978, the NPS purchased the property to act as a youth hostel in conjunction with the American Youth Hostels (AYH) organization. In March 2011, Stanford Hostel became Stanford House, Cuyahoga Valley National Park's first in-park lodging facility. The home was renovated by the Conservancy for Cuyahoga Valley National Park and the National Park Service.[10]

1½ miles south of Rockside Road Canal Visitor Center contains exhibits and a bookstore. Exhibits illustrate 12,000 years of history in the valley, including the history of the canal. The canal-era building once served canal boat passengers waiting to pass through Ohio & Erie Canal Lock 38. Canal lock demonstrations are conducted seasonally on weekends by National Park Service staff and by volunteers wearing period costumes. A 20-minute slide program about the park and three, 30-minute videos on canal history are shown on request.
Happy Days State Route 303,
1 mile west of State Route 8,
2 miles east of the Village of Peninsula, Ohio Happy Days was constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1938 and 1939 as a camp for urban children. The visitor center offers information and a variety of activities, including concerts, lectures, plays, and special events. A 20-minute slide program about the park is shown on request. Several hiking trails are located nearby.
1/10 of a mile east of Riverview Road Boston Store was constructed in 1836 and has been used as a warehouse, store, post office, and gathering place. It is now a museum featuring exhibits relating to canal boat-building.
Hunt Farm Bolanz Road,
between Akron-Peninsula Road and Riverview Road The Hunt Farm property is typical of the small family farms that dotted the Cuyahoga Valley in the late 19th century. Here you can get information about park activities and see exhibits about the area's agricultural history. Next to the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail, it is an ideal starting point for a hike or a bicycle ride.
3½ miles south of Rockside Road The Frazee House was constructed in 1825 and 1826, during the same years the northern section of the Ohio & Erie Canal was dug. It is a fine example of a Western Reserve home and features exhibits relating to architectural styles, construction techniques, and the Frazee family.

north of State Route 303 The Peninsula Depot was originally located in the village of Boston, just north of Boston Mills Road. It was moved to Peninsula in the late 1960s. The building may be the only surviving combination station from the Valley Railway, which operated between Cleveland, Ohio and Tuscarawas County, Ohio in the late 19th century. Today the Peninsula Depot serves as an information and orientation center for people on foot, bike, and rail, and serves as a station for Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad (CVSR) excursions. Exhibits highlight the history and recreational opportunities of the area.
Points of historic interest
41°22′24″N 81°36′59″W / 41.37333°N 81.61639°W / 41.37333; -81.61639 (Canal Visitor) Canal Visitor Center - "Hell's Half Acre" Exhibits related to human history in the valley and Ohio & Erie Canal history are available at Canal Visitor Center. The exhibits are housed in a renovated canal-era tavern that, for some time, had such a colorful reputation that it came to be called "Hell's Half Acre." Lock 38 is located in the front; lock demonstrations are offered by volunteers and staff in period costume every Saturday, Sunday, and holiday during the summer months. A lock model is located inside the visitor center. The ranger at the information desk will perform lock model demonstrations on request. An auditorium in the basement is used to show three different canal-related videos and one park orientation slide program. These programs will be run on request.[13]
Ohio & Erie Canal Related Structures The Ohio & Erie Canal was constructed between 1825 and 1832. It successfully provided Ohio with a transportation system that permitted residents to conduct trade with the world. While it stopped functioning after the great flood of 1913, remnants and ruins of canal-related structures can be seen alongside the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail. Wayside exhibits explain the function of many of the structures visible from the trail. Our Towpath Trail Sites to Visit list may be useful in directing you to the points of greatest interest.[14][15]
Frazee House The Frazee House was under construction in 1825 when the canal was dug through its front yard. It's a great place to visit for information about Western Reserve architecture and construction techniques as well as some tidbits about the Frazee family.[16]
Boston Store This early canal-era building was owned by the Boston Land & Manufacturing Company. The Boston Store now houses numerous exhibits relating to canal boat building.[17] Everett Road Covered Bridge The Everett Road Covered Bridge was constructed after a local resident was killed attempting to cross the swollen Furnace Run in 1877. It was destroyed by storm floodwaters in 1975 and reconstructed by the National Park Service in 1986. It is the only covered bridge in Summit County today. The bridge is located on Everett Road about 5/10 of a mile west of Riverview Road near Everett Village.[18]
Brandywine Village Brandywine Village was conceived and founded by George Wallace, who built a sawmill next to Brandywine Falls in 1814. He encouraged others to move to the area, including his brother-in-law, who built a grist mill on the opposite side of the falls. With inexpensive land available and the presence of mills to provide lumber, flour, and corn meal, the Village of Brandywine began to grow. Today only a couple of buildings remain from the village but historic photos and remnants of building foundations allow us to remember the Brandywine Village that once was.[19]
Civilian Conservation Corps Structures The Civilian Conservation Corps was responsible for the construction of some of the most attractive buildings in the valley. Happy Days Visitor Center as well as the Ledges, Octagon, and Lake Shelters were built of wormy American Chestnut wood in the late 1930s. These structures can be found in the Virginia Kendall Unit of the park.[20][21]
The George Stanford House James Stanford moved to Boston Township immediately after surveying and naming it in 1806. He and with his wife Polly and son George were the first homesteaders in what is today Cuyahoga Valley National Park (CVNP). His son George built a stately Greek revival home in about 1830. That home, located at 6093 Stanford Road, now serves as the Cuyahoga Valley HI-Stanford Hostel.[22]
National Register of Historic Places This page contains a complete list of National Register of Historic Places locations within CVNP. Some of these locations are privately owned.[23]
Hale Farm & Village Hale Farm & Village is an outdoor living history museum that is just a few miles and 150 years away. Costumed "pioneer" interpreters describe life in the Western Reserve during the formative years of the United States of America. The village features 21 historic buildings to tour and many talented craftspeople. It is operated by the Western Reserve Historical Society.
Craft demonstrations include glassblowing, candlemaking, broommaking, spinning & weaving, cheesemaking, blacksmithing, woodworking, sawmilling, hearth cooking, and pottery making. The farm also features oxen, sheep, cows, and gardens.[24]
Many of the listed homes are in private ownership.[26]

Sep 17 New Hours and Offerings at the Spa
Noa Maltzman
Admin faculty policy
After concerns of overcrowding in the dining hall at dinner, Dinning Services this year has instituted changes to ease congestion. No, they did not add more seating, nor did they expand the dining hall in any way. Instead, they changed the Spa hours. The Spa is now open from 11am to 7pm, Monday through Friday, while last year their weekday daytime hours were 9:30am to 5:30pm (not including late night weekend hours, which is staying the same). Doing this "will offer another option for dinner and hopefully eliminate some of the crowding in the Dining Hall that exists" said Director of Dinning Services, Mark Miller.
Due to the altered Spa hours, the Skidmore community has lost an on-campus breakfast option. Miller said that they "have noticed an increase in some guests at breakfast in the Dining Hall" and said they can easily accommodate this increase. Miller did not see any new issues in regards to a potential influx of patrons at the Burgess Café, saying it "has always been busy."
Your early morning coffee at the Spa is no longer an option; however, Dining Services has added additional morning coffee options. They installed "another Starbucks vending unit in the Athletic Center where guests can get three varieties of freshly brewed Starbucks coffee and hot cocoa using a credit card or their Skid-Cards," said Miller.
In addition to the new coffee vending unit, there are new dinner options, lunch and dinner specials and new grab and go items (for example, a new Chobani yogurt and fruit bar) now offered at the Spa. Food options at the Atrium have also been increased.
There was also another change in Dining Service hours. The Burgess Café now closes at 1 a.m. instead of 2 a.m., Sunday through Thursday. Cerri Banks, Dean of Students and Vice President for Student Affairs, said in an email to all Skidmore students that this change was made because "we have found that during that hour [1am to 2am] we serve almost no customers and staffing is a considerable challenge." The one-hour earlier closure will allow Skidmore to "use our staff resources more effectively and to better serve the students and our community," said Banks. A new semester always brings about change and hopefully these changes to Dinning Services hours will be worth the new products they are able to offer.

OPINION: How We Talk About the Holocaust
There was nothing about Reich's story that was any more gruesome or devastating than the stories I had heard throughout middle and high school. I was not even brought to tears by the emotions, or lack thereof, of my seatmates — both of whom had dozed off as Reich addressed the audience. I exited the auditorium swiftly after Reich concluded, wiping tears with shaken fists.

OPINION: Women's History Month in the Media: Shining the Right Spotlight
As I scrolled through my social media this past month, I became aware of the increase in female representation across the pages of well-known brands. Obviously, this was due to the fact that March was Women's History Month, but it got me thinking about the implications that arise by limiting the celebration of women to one month out of the year.

Fun Day Changes Meant to Ensure Safety Among Students
Some Skidmore students have called Fun Day the best day of the year. Some plan their outfits weeks in advance. The rest make sure they are as far away from campus that day as possible. When the recent Fun Day changes bubbled to the surface, responses from the student body was a mix of emotions and concerns.
OPINION: Why Do Skidmore Students Make Less Than Minimum Wage?
The justifications for our deflated wage seem vapid, even if the college is legally allowed to pay us that little, and I think I should be paid at least the state-mandated minimum for the work I do.

Trump Says The U.S. Is Renegotiating Its Trade Deal With Korea
(Photo by Alex Wong/Getty Images)
Alex Pfeiffer White House Correspondent
June 30, 2017 12:24 PM ET
President Donald Trump said Friday that the U.S. will work with South Korea to sign a new trade deal.
The U.S. signed a trade deal with Korea in 2011 and between then and 2016, America's trade deficit with South Korea has increased by more than $11 billion, according to President Trump. He said while making a statement next to South Korean President Moon Jae-in that is "not exactly a great deal."
Trade was expected to be an issue brought up when the two leaders met. A senior White House official told reporters Wednesday that the trade imbalance has "caught the president's eye," and that Trump was hoping to have a "frank" discussion with President Moon about it.
Trump previously told The Washington Post in April that he is open to terminating America's existing trade agreement with South Korea.
"We will do more to to remove barriers to reciprocal trade and market access. We talked last night and today about some tough trade issues like autos and steel," Trump said. "I'm encouraged by President Moon's assurances that he will work to create a level playing field so that American workers and businesses, and especially auto makers, can have a fair shake at dealing with South Korea."
Trump said that American companies should be able to freely sell cars in South Korea and that he also called on South Korea to stop enabling the importation of Chinese steel into the U.S
"These would be important steps forward in our trading relationship," Trump said. "They have to be made, not fair to the American worker if they are not, and they will be."
"Our teams are going to get to work on these issues, and they're going to sign a deal that's great for South Korea and great for the United States," Trump stated.
President Moon alluded to this during his remarks and said: "We both agreed on this view. economic growth and job creation will be promoted to insure our peoples enjoy greater mutual benefits through the collective efforts we've committed to make. "

Sephora's New Retail Stores Will Take Cues From YouTube
Sephora's new in-store retail model puts a real-life spin on makeup tutorial videos, which have grown massively popular on YouTube.
The beauty retailer already prominently places video how-tos in its mobile and online stores, and now, Sephora's retail stores will bridge the gap between digital demonstrations and the in-store visit.
In its new San Francisco store, opening this Friday (Nov 20, 2015), Sephora has designated stations called the "Beauty Workshop," where customers can watch video tutorials, take a class with a Sephora team member, and share content online. It's the center of the new store's design, and up to 12 customers at a time can sit down to watch videos, practice with new products and learn from Sephora's team members.

The workshop helps enrich the experience for the customer who wants to sample the product. For Sephora, it's where the company can turn buzzing digital trends in the beauty world into moments that both enable education and drive conversion. Sephora president and CEO Calvin McDonald, for example, pointed to contouring (which is the art of using bronzer, concealer and highlighter to create a sculpted foundation look) as a major makeup obsession that became a prime opportunity for Sephora's expertise.
"People were sitting on the sidelines, watching other people's contouring videos, not knowing how to do it themselves," said McDonald. Sephora looked to social media to realize that people wanted to contour, but had no idea how to do it themselves. And most people won't invest in buying the product — contouring requires a whole crew of makeup items and brushes — until they feel confident they can create a look at home.

"That's where Sephora comes into play," said McDonald. "When you demystify, people feel empowered to buy. This translates into her being more engaged in beauty, and that translates into her buying more items."
Also featured alongside the workshop is Sephora's digital Beauty Board, a shoppable screen that plays user-generated content coinciding with current trends. Visitors who sit down at the station can watch the looks go by for inspiration, and then pick up the exact products used. Customers can also share their beauty routines and accompanying products to stream on the board. A "People Like Me" search function filters the content stream to show specific skin tones, hair textures and more.
"It's not digital for the sake of digital," said McDonald. "It's a combination of products, services and teachable moments that support our customers' missions."
More features in the new San Francisco store include fragrance identifier InstaScent (previously called Poof) that spritzes raw notes of a perfume to help customers decide which defining scent they're most attracted to (McDonald noted that fragrance is one of Sephora's under-performing categories). Digital Trend Tables show which online products are most popular and best-selling in real time.
According to Deborah Yeh, Sephora's svp of marketing, it's about balancing the customer who's there for the experience, and the one who's there simply to run in and out for a purchase.
"Our [salespeople] can identify which customer is there to learn and which is there to get in and out," said Yeh. "Technology can't do that as elegantly, but we're getting there."

A thirst for beauty - two thirds of global skincare NPD in 2012 had moisturising / hydrating claims
A thirst for beauty – two thirds of global skincare NPD in 2012 had moisturising / hydrating claims
April 16th, 2013April 16th, 2013
With weather conditions and stress playing havoc with consumer skincare regimes, beauty products which claim to hydrate and moisturise have never been more in demand. And new research from Mintel BPC highlights this move towards a thirst from manufacturers as 66% of all new products launched globally in the skincare market in 2012 had a moisturising and hydrating claim.
Furthermore, product launches communicating the inclusion of water from oceans, lagoons, seas, glaciers, springs or spas have seen consistent growth in the skincare category since 2009. Indeed, skincare products that specify the use of water from a particular source grew 78% between 2009 and 2012.
Chris Lindsley, Global Skincare Analyst at Mintel, said:
"Naturally, water is where many hydrating claims start – but not just any old water. Provenance as well as functionality has become an important feature on pack. Claims regarding water sources are becoming increasingly ambitious, with companies' descriptions ranging from "wild" to "antique". Looking to the future, playing with the state of water in skincare products offers innovation for formulators and a splash of sensoriality for consumers, while water activation also has appeal. The challenge for the future will be to entice consumers with exotic but meaningful stories, while avoiding tipping over into hyperbole and switching them off."
Furthermore, it appears that NPD is responding to consumer demand as, according to Mintel's research, dry skin is one of the key concerns of European women. In the US, over half (52%) of consumers buy facial skincare products to treat or prevent dry skin – rising to 56% of consumers in the UK. Meanwhile, more than a third (37%) of French women and almost half (48%) of German women use facial skincare products to treat or prevent dry skin. In addition, more than a third of women in France (33%), Germany (37%), Italy (35%) and Spain (39%) use facial skincare to prevent or delay the onset of fine lines and wrinkles, so it's clear that hydration is crucial for women's skincare regimes.
And it is not just skincare embracing the powers of H20. Mintel's research shows that in haircare, the moisturisation claim was seen in 26% of product launches in 2009, rising to 32% in 2012. Consumers are also aware that drinks can offer more than just hydration. Some 27% of consumers say that bottled water with vitamins is healthier than plain bottled water, rising to over a third of French (49%), German (39%) and Italian (34%) consumers, while three in 10 (30%) UK consumers would be willing to pay more for water with added benefits.

Bearcats Set to Begin 2019-20 Season at Cornell
The start of the 2019-20 basketball season is here and tonight (Tuesday) the Binghamton Bearcats men's basketball team opens on the road in Ithaca against the Cornell Big Red. It is the opening game for both teams.
The Bearcats have nine newcomers on their 2019-20 roster.They lost their second, third and fourth leading scorers due to graduation. They do return their top gun in Rookie of the Year Sam Sessoms who averaged 17.6 points per game. The Bearcats have added more size with 7'0" center Yarden Willis from Seward County Community College expected to start against the Big Red.
Cornell lost senior Matt Morgan who averaged over 22 points per game last year. One returner who averaged over 11 points per game last year is Jimmy Boeheim, the son of Syracuse basketball coach Jim Boeheim.
Cornell leads the series 10-4 and has won four of the last five meetings. Last year Morgan exploded for 38 points as the Big red registered an 86-75 win at the Events Center. BU's Sam Sessoms scored 27 points in his college debut.
Tonight's game is part of a Bearcat doubleheader on News Radio 1290 WNBF. The BU women visit Siena at 5 PM with air at 4:45 with Cam LaVallee. The men follow with a scheduled 7 PM start.

There can be no guarantee as to which forces will win out in Tehran. But those on the left who were hostile to the huge protests are in danger of lining up with those who want to crush the movement.
Scepticism is necessary every time the media extol what they claim to be democratic movements against unpleasant regimes. The cheerleaders for the occupation of Afghanistan, Iraq and Palestine have a nerve talking about democracy.
It is hardly surprising then that much of the left in Latin America and the Middle East was hostile to the huge demonstrations in Tehran against Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's government. The Iranian government has, after all, outraged the US with its support for Hezbollah in Lebanon, its hostility to Israel and its friendly relations with Hugo Chavez.
Yet the hostility to the demonstrations was seriously mistaken in this case. For all its religious rhetoric, the Iranian regime is a capitalist regime prepared to do deals with imperialism - as is shown by its support for the government of Nouri al-Maliki in Iraq.
Its origins lie in the form capitalist stabilisation took after the 1979 revolution against the Shah. Religious slogans provided a brief unitary focus for the different social forces involved. But a section of the middle class, allied with a layer of wealthy merchants and leading religious figures, was then able to use religious and anti-imperialist language to conceal its real aims as it bloodily crushed other social forces, including independent workers' organisations, ethnic minorities and left wing guerrilla organisations.
It established a set-up in which there were elections, but overall power lay with a non-elected supreme leader and "unsuitable" parliamentary candidates were prevented from standing.
But it was not only repression that provided stability for the regime. In the post-revolutionary period it was able to provide certain important, if limited, reforms that benefited significant layers of the population - something many sections of the defeated left failed to see.
However, the stability of any capitalist regime depends on reconciling differing interests within the ruling class while containing discontent among the mass of the population.
From the 1990s onwards this was increasingly difficult. Private disagreements within the ruling establishment turned into open debates during presidential campaigns. By this year's campaign the establishment could no longer prevent its internal disagreements drawing a vast number of people from outside its own narrow circles onto the streets.
If all that was involved was the division between the two ruling class groups, scepticism would be justified. But clashes within a ruling class have a potential to unleash movements none of its elements can control.
The new forces that take to the streets can be very confused about their goals. They come from different social milieus, with contradictory interests and aspirations. Talk of "people power" conceals the gap between those who toil for a livelihood and those who hope to gain new privileges from the turmoil.
Students frequently play a key role in providing the initial impetus to such movements. They are not a social class in their own right and can give expression to the wider desire for deep, but unspecified, change. Hence the role of students in the late 1960s or in the Tiananmen Square movement that shook China 20 years ago. But as the movement draws wider sections of exploited and oppressed people into action, the different class interests at work inevitably began to have an impact on the activists.
There is incipient political differentiation as some see the way forward through reliance on the reformist section of the ruling class, some through radical forms of minority direct action, and some through looking towards mass action by the workers, the peasants or the urban poor. Such differentiation characterised the movements of the 1960s and 1970s.
Iran can be no different. All sorts of political forces will be attempting to fish in the movement. Some will be dubious in the extreme. The most corrupt figures from the reform wing of the ruling class will try to manipulate activists, as will the CIA and exiled royalists.
But any cursory glance at what protesters say points to very different currents within the movement. There are activists who emphasise the similarities between their plight and that of the Palestinians of Gaza. There are groups of workers who have seen the forces of the state attack their strikes and independent unions. There are students who have faced imprisonment for expounding socialist ideas and reading Marxist works. There are intellectuals who see the great advances of the 1979 revolution strangled by corruption and repression.
There can never be a guarantee in advance as to which forces will win out in a great political and social upsurge. But socialists have a clear responsibility in such a situation. This is to provide solidarity and encouragement to those who want to lead the movement forward in a positive direction. It cannot be done by lining up with those who want to crush the movement.
Twenty years ago some of the left internationally did support the crushing of the Tiananmen movement by Deng Xiaoping.
That crushing enabled China's rulers to override all forms of popular resistance as they unleashed the most untrammelled form of capitalism. The crushing of the movement in Iran would not stop a similar logic of capitalism working itself out there. But it would make it much more difficult for popular forces to emerge to challenge that logic - under either wing of the ruling class.


Donut Man featured at Home Fest at First
First Presbyterian Church's celebration next week is all about bringing people "home."
The church will host Home Fest at First with doors opening at 3:30 p.m. Aug. 27 at 1111 Fifth Ave. N.
Rob Evans, the Donut Man, will perform at 4 p.m. in a concert especially for 3- to 10-year-olds.
The 641 Project, a band from Marshalltown, will take the stage at 7 p.m. on Aug. 28, with a wide variety of Christian rock and worship music especially geared towards teens and adults.
The goal is to bring people "home" to the church, said Laura Stover, Christian education director.
Stover said the church was seeking a way to bring a lot of families they haven't seen for a long time "back home" to the church, and to meet the neighbors who may never have "come home into a church."
"So we thought, what could we offer outside, so it's not like having to come into a building, that would make you curious and want to come meet people, and learn a little bit more about your neighbors?" Stover said.
The church serves 75 families through its Kids Zone daycare, so it wanted someone very kid-friendly.
"I said I'd want to invite the Donut Man. And nobody in the room knew who he was except me. So I had to do quite a sales pitch first," she said.
Stover said she's used the Donut Man's songs with her own kids, who are grown up now, as well as with the kids who come to church.
"Now I use them in my Sunday School program, in my after school program, at the Kids Zone preschool," she said.
The 641 Project is made of five different youth pastors, she said.
"They love playing music for a cause, to help you raise money," Stover said. "We said we want to raise money this weekend for those who do not have a place to call home."
The concerts are free, but a freewill donation will be taken to benefit Dodger Academy, which helps kids who can't go home right after school because no one is home.
"We thought we'd go with the school kids first, because there's so many of them that couldn't even qualify to stay, so they did go home to an empty home," she said.
The event will feature games and activities before the concerts, free food, and free doughnuts.
There will also be a free movie shown both inside and outside following the concert.

In this article, the methodical principles for assessing the level of adaptation of employees to the transformational changes in the company have been improved, which are based on the construction of a five-vector map of the readiness of the company's personnel to change. This five-vector map is presented as a decomposition of the following parameters: gender-age structure, level of qualification, motivation, productivity and corporate commitment of the personnel. Each of the five parameters of staff characteristics is further described with the help of four relevant indicators. The formalization of the selected parameters is carried out by multiplicative convolution of the indicators of their characteristics, normalized by the logistic method. The proposed model allows to determine the percentage of employees' readiness for transformational changes in the company, to establish the current dynamics of adjustment of the personnel of the investigated company to the transformational changes in the economy and society relative to the previous year or the standard, to identify the necessary tools for activating the company's personnel management policy.
Keywords: adaptation of employees, transformation processes, system of management, economy and society.
