Bonnaroo Music Festival will return to its home in Manchester, TN on June 13th-16th with a loaded lineup that includes Phish, Childish Gambino, Odesza, Cardi B, and many more. While the four days and late nights of music inside the main event hub will be filled with live performances and shenanigans across multiple tents and stages, it’s actually the campgrounds which have earned the reputation as one of Bonnaroo’s best locations for daytime hangs and late night parties.In hopes of stepping their weekend programming up a notch in 2019, Bonnaroo organizers continue to expand their presence out in the campgrounds with more experiences, art installations, and events/parties set to take place in the Plazas over the four days and nights.According to an announcement via press release shared by Bonnaroo on Monday, Plaza 2 in the campground will become “Roo’s Sanctuary Of Self Love,” curated By Hayley Williams of Paramore. Fans will get the chance to enjoy hair styling, mini spa treatments, and glitter stations, in addition to alternative therapies and panels on mental health and self-love. There will also be nightly themed dance parties for those hoping to keep the fun going well into the morning hours. Another new campground installation will be known as “Where In The Woods,” where the forest will host DJs and surprise sets which run late into the night.Other Plazas will feature interactive experiences inspired by the landscape and the spirits of the Louisiana Bayou and Nashville, comedy performances, and one-of-a-kind dance parties curated by popular Brooklyn nightclub, House of Yes.Fans can watch the video below to get an inside look on how Bonnaroo organizers haved upped their campground game in 2018 and again in 2019.Bonnaroo – Way More Than Just “Camping”[Video: Bonnaroo]Music fans can head over to the Campground Plaza information page on the Bonnaroo website for more detailed info.

Notre Dame alumnus and independent film director Patrick Creadon, ’89, returned to the University on Friday for a screening of his new documentary “If You Build It.” The film, which screened in Debartolo Performing Arts Center, will premiere in theaters in 2014. “I would describe this film as a cross between ‘Extreme Home Makeover’ and ‘The Breakfast Club,’” Creadon said. “This is a story of what our education can be if it dares to try new ideas and dares to try things that it doesn’t normally do.” “If You Build It” follows the efforts of Emily Pilloton and Matt Miller, two architects invited to rural Bertie County in North Carolina by Dr. “Chip” Zullenger, Bertie County’s Superintendent, to help revitalize the struggling public school system, Creadon said. Creadon said the movie shows how education can change if it dares to try new ideas and give students a reason to feel indebted to their community. “A sad thing about brilliant kids is that they leave their hometowns and they never come back,” Creadon said. “They feel that they have nothing to give back to the community. They never get asked to solve problems in their own town.” Creadon said the goal of his documentary is to motivate kids to give back to the institutions that help form them. “This story we’re telling is trying to reverse that,” he said. “This is about what those kids can do for their community and ultimately become better citizens.” Pilloton, who appears in the film, said Bertie County represents a prime example of the demise of rural America. “It’s the hollowing out of small towns. The brain drain where the educated and qualified leave and never come back,” Pilloton said in the film’s opening minutes. In the film, she said orienting new projects around things that the community needs could be vital to public education. She said design and building classes offer the chance to create a different type of classroom, giving youth the opportunity to imagine a new future for themselves. Creadon said the impact of the film has already been recognized outside of Bertie County, in places such as Washington D.C. “The White House asked us to be part of a program called Film Forward where they take four documentaries and screen them worldwide to, essentially, show what America can be,” he said. “I think what they see in this film is an educational model that could work everywhere. It could work in small-town America and anywhere overseas.” Creadon was proud to return to his alma mater to show his work. “As a third-generation Domer, Notre Dame really meant something to me before I even attended,” Creadon said. “What made this place for me would be the professors. I never really knew what I wanted to do and I was majoring in international relations and I was set on a path to law school. It was a head of the Psychology Department Dr. Daniel Lapsley who told me to take a year off before graduate school and it was then when I started my career.” read more
A few weeks ago, the first ever group of 10 computer science and computer engineering students traveled to California to begin their semester studying in Silicon Valley.The program has been in the works since Notre Dame California interim director Patrick Flynn was on sabbatical last school year.Courtesy of Luke Duane “Things went quiet in the early spring semester of 2016 because [former Notre Dame California director Greg] Crawford was starting to transition to Miami University, but when I was asked to step in as the interim director for Notre Dame California, this idea was revived and I was encouraged to pursue it,” he said. “Since that time, it’s been a matter of setting things up and getting it into place and identifying students to come out here and then making things go when they started arriving earlier in the semester.” Students involved in the program split their time between three classes — all offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays — and an internship. Junior computer science major Luke Duane is working 20 hours a week as a data scientist with OpsPanda, a sales-resource planning startup that reached out to him.“Currently, I’m getting used to the company and how they do stuff and the code and what not, and they’re going to do that for a few weeks — then I’ll get assigned to a project that I’ll be working with another intern so we’ll be working on that for the rest of the semester,” he said. Initially, the classes are being held at Menlo College in Atherton, Calif., but construction on the “physical home of Notre Dame California” in downtown Palo Alto recently wrapped up and classes will move there soon, Flynn said. “We’re not going to be able to hold courses until [Feb. 21] because the internet connection hasn’t been activated,” he said. “It will be activated in the next week or so. Once that happens and we get the networking installed, then the courses will migrate from Menlo, where they’re being held in pretty much a traditional lecture hall with a projector to the Palo Alto facility, which has a very nice teaching space as well as small meeting rooms.”The facility will be the hub for Notre Dame California for the next three years, per an agreement with the owner of the building, AT&T. “At the end of that time, there will be a decision about to continue using that space or to move to a new space,” Flynn said. “That’s going to depend on growth, not only of the Silicon Valley Semester program, but the other things that are underway at Notre Dame California.”Of the courses being offered to students in the Silicon Valley Semester, only one — taught by Flynn — is being taught on site. The others are through the online platform offered through the Office of Digital Learning or through two-way live video streaming, Flynn said. “I think a recipe for growth for [Notre Dame California] is going to involve those things, but we’re also going to have to identify some local teaching talent, possibly through some of the other local schools to see if they’re interested in sharing courses and work out a mix of course offerings,” he said. “It’s a fact that the cost of living out here is rather high, so I think our ability to bring people out here to teach is fairly limited, so we’ll have to see what we can do in collaboration with other schools and that’s something we’ll be paying more attention to that as we build up other programs to take advantage of the facility and the space while we’re out here.” Looking forward, Flynn said he hopes to expand the study programs being offered by Notre Dame California.“We’re looking at an undergraduate study program for Arts and Letters in Los Angeles — you could even imagine similar experiences in San Diego and in Orange County,” he said. “All of those have been discussed as part of the growth plan for Notre Dame California. It’s going to take time — we can’t do it all in a one-year stretch — but if we come up with a plan and then provide the appropriate resources to execute the plan, we should probably have a nice, comprehensive set of offerings. “We certainly want all majors to have opportunities out here — we don’t want to limit offerings just to STEM majors,” Flynn said. In addition to classes and internships, Flynn said he has helped organize a host of “outside activities” for the students, one being weekly dinners with Notre Dame alums. “What we do is we meet at an area restaurant, we bring in one of the alumni, and they have the chance during the meal and after the meal to talk about their experiences in California, what Notre Dame was like when they were there,” he said. “Certainly, there’s a tech orientation to many of the people, but they’re not exclusively technologists. We have people who are more on the venture capitalist side and some other friends of Notre Dame as well.” Duane said the dinners have been a great way to connect back to the University while he’s studying in California. “It’s something I didn’t really realize until I got out here — I had always heard about the Notre Dame network and how deep it is and how many people are out there, willing to help Notre Dame alums,” he said. “I always believed it, but I didn’t really meet it face-to-face until I entered this program.“ … It’s really cool to meet these people that went to the same school and have found so much success and they’re so well intertwined with the area. They’re very adamant about us reaching out for anything we need. It’s kind of a realization of the abstract Notre Dame network I’ve always heard about that I didn’t actually realize, but it’s kind of come alive and it’s been great to meet those people.”Tags: engineers, Silicon Valley, study abroad read more
Plava Laguna realized long ago that the motive for coming is not accommodation, but the content of the destination, and accordingly in the past couple of years began to invest in the organization and sponsorship of large events that attract the masses, both before and after the season and in season.Among the prominent events, I would mention the Sea Star Festival, which was visited by more than 25 fans from May 28 to 50.000, and as many as 93% of them came from outside Umag. Also, Plava Laguna Croatia Open Umag has positioned itself as one of the leaders in the promotion of Croatian tourism, which attracts over 100.00 visitors. As well as the cooperation with Vinistra, the most attractive fair of wine and wine equipment in Croatia, with which Plava Laguna signed a multi-year agreement on business cooperation, and which generates 20 percent more tourists in the pre-season.”Since we have been operating in destinations for 60 years, we believe that it is our responsibility to develop the destinations in which we operate, as well as to participate in the active management of content at destinations. Precisely such music festivals are the motive for coming outside the main tourist season and increase the competitiveness of our destinations. Rise up 2019 is just such an event that will enrich the holiday for our guests”They say from the Blue Lagoon.Plava Laguna is certainly interested in such and similar content due to the extension of the tourist season, filling its capacities, increasing tourist spending, promotion and thus reducing one of our main tourist problems – seasonality. The entry of Laguna Poreč into sponsorships and encouragement of event organizations is a logical and certainly smart move, because the motive for coming is not accommodation, but quality, diverse and authentic content of the tourist destination.On this track is one of the biggest events of this year in Istria – Rise up Poreč Music Festival. Porečka Peškera will do so on the 6th, 7th. and July 8 will be the venue for one of today’s biggest stars Rita Ora. Rita Ora is performing in Croatia for the first time, which is an additional motive for the whole region to come. But the whole musical line up is very high quality, which is the first prerequisite to become a motive for coming to the destination. In addition to Rita Ore, Franka Batelić and DJ duo Vanillaz, Mija Dimšić, Severina, Dubioza kolektiv, Edo Maajka, Damir Urban and Filip Motovunski will perform.Investing in events is not a cost, but an investment If we want to have a good attendance and a good story, we must invest, ie invest money in quality content. Without content there is no story, no visitors and ultimately no interest. The goal is to offer quality products and services that visitors are willing to pay and consume, and of course to build a story about the event as the main motive for coming. The most important thing is to complete the whole story, both to the visitors and to the partners who are within the festival through catering, sponsors and all other facilities. The event must be a win-win-win for everyone, because if only one element is missing, everything falls into the water.But the most important message is that investing in events is not a cost, but an investment, of course if we look at the long term and work on developing a large event that becomes a motive for coming. With the arrival of as many visitors as possible, tourist overnight stays are generated, as well as the most important tourist spending. If there is no spending, there is no interest, and interest is the earnings of all partners. Everything pulls one after another, so the organization of events is a serious business that consists of a lot of elements that complement each other.If you want to develop events, then you have to invest money, because one does not go without the other. Without investing in production, the whole experience and quality development, the money invested is a cost and thrown to the wind because we did not complete the whole story, ie get a sufficient number of visitors and, accordingly, not tourist spending.After all, the best proof for the thesis that investing in investment events is the results of research conducted by the regional research center “TIM” from Novi Sad, which confirmed that the premiere edition of the Sea Star Festival in Umag last year contributed to Croatian tourism more than 60 million.Related news:SEA STAR FESTIVAL GENERATES MORE THAN 60 MILLION HRK TOURIST CONSUMPTIONBLUE LAGOON CROATIA OPEN UMAG IS ONE OF THE BEST PROMOTERS OF CROATIAN TOURISMBLUE LAGOON FIRST “SAVE” FROM THE AMENDMENTS TO THE RULES ON INCOME TAX, TRANSFERRED INTO WORKERS ‘RIGHTSPOREČ BLUE LAGOON PRESENTED A NEW BRAND STRATEGY AND VISUAL IDENTITY read more

Annie and Adam Stewart bought a 1960s postwar home and knocked it down to build this four-bedder.More Brisbane buyers are choosing to knock down and rebuild their homes avoiding costly renovations.Recent data by Porter Davis Homes has shown an 85 per cent increase in knock down rebuild jobs across a number of both up and coming and established suburbs.Porter Davis Homes Queensland sales manager Alex Hill said the increase had remained consistent over the past year with various house builders having started to cater for the knock down rebuild segment.“Many homeowners are looking to knock down rebuild as the preferred option over renovations or moving into a new home,” Mr Hill said.

We went from one extreme to the other. We now have three bedrooms which we don’t use.” The home at 1 Enderby St, Mt Gravatt East before it was knocked down.

We often find this is the case throughout the inner suburbs in order to maximise space in denser areas.“The more willing you are to live further outside of the CBD it’s much more likely to snap up a larger land size, which is when and where we start to see more variety in the types of homes people are choosing to build.” Three knock downs for sale 526 Beenleigh Rd, Sunnybank.

Although many students said they voted in the 2010 California General Election, only 20.4 percent of youth aged 18 to 29 cast their vote on Tuesday, according to final exit poll results.The youth voter turnout in Tuesday’s election was about one million votes fewer than the previous midterm elections in 2006, when 23.5 percent of youth voted, according to the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement.Tuesday’s ballot in California included a senatorial race, a gubernatorial race and several propositions, as well as local elections. Of youth who voted, the majority — 56 percent — voted Democratic, whereas 40 percent of youth voted Republican.Redirected – Phil Gordon, a poll station inspector at the fire station on Jefferson Boulevard directs Kattie King, a junior majoring in anthropology to the back of the fire station for voting. – Mindy Curtis | Daily TrojanStudents said that going to the “Moving America Forward” rally at USC on Oct. 22 affected their enthusiasm.“The president came to make sure that we know how much of a value it is and how we should do it and make a difference because we can. It definitely got me more riled up — definitely more excited to vote,” said Roy Parker, a freshman majoring in writing for screen and television.Stephanie Tong, a senior majoring in business administration, agreed.“The rally on campus really did encourage a lot of college students to come to vote because it became a lot more personal to them,” Tong said. “Having the president come and visit on campus made us feel that much more important, like your one vote really could make a difference.”“In the future, if we have more rallies like this, with a lot of big-name politicians, it would really encourage another generation of college voters,” Tong said.In recent months, students from USC’s chapter of the California Public Interest Research Group collected signatures of students pledging to vote no on Proposition 23. There have also been students campaigning their fellow Trojans to vote yes on Proposition 19.But Sandra Espinoza, a senior majoring in English and American Studies, said that seeing political activism on campus didn’t really change her opinion.“It’s nice to see that everyone else is getting involved and really cares about their issue, although it doesn’t really affect how I vote,” she said.Yes on Proposition 19 campaigners were more visible on campus Tuesday than they had been over the past weeks. Amanda Charney, a freshman majoring in theatre, said their manner of promoting Proposition 19 might have made it seem less dignified.“They were being obnoxious and getting in people’s faces. It was good that they were trying to get the vote out, but tattooing pot leaves on their bodies didn’t exactly give people a good impression of the proposition overall,” Charney said. “There’s other stuff to it besides the fact that it’s legalizing pot — there’s reasons behind it.”However, Michelle Soroudi, a junior majoring in business administration, said political activity on campus in any form is good for the student body.“Students on campus that don’t know what’s happening need to get involved and make their voice heard and make a change,” Soroudi said. “We’re the future so we need to be heard.” read more
Published on May 3, 2014 at 7:03 pm Contact Jesse: jcdoug01@syr.edu | @dougherty_jesse Facebook Twitter Google+ For the first time in a long time, John Desko emptied his bench.With Randy Staats, Kevin Rice, Dylan Donahue and Chris Daddio — who had each run circles around Colgate for a little less than three quarters — standing together on the sideline, the Syracuse head coach cycled the team’s less familiar faces onto the field.Freshman Joe DeMarco took his first faceoffs since the Orange lost to Duke on March 23, and won both. Jeff Desko and Dylan Maltz scored a goal each. Evan Molloy and Tyler Avallone saw time in the net.And when the final whistle sounded and 13 goals separated SU from the visiting Raiders, the starters lightly jogged onto the field and thanked the reserves for polishing off a game that was over almost as soon as it started.“We haven’t had many games like that this year,” Desko said.AdvertisementThis is placeholder textNo. 4 Syracuse (11-4, 2-3 Atlantic Coast) ran by Colgate (9-7, 4-4 Patriot) in an eventual 19-6 win in front of 3,215 in the Carrier Dome on Saturday, right after it honored its nine seniors before the game.The Raiders came into the contest with the nation’s ninth best defense and eighth best faceoff specialist, and had surfaced in Inside Lacrosse’s top 20 rankings earlier in the season. They weren’t supposed to be an opponent the Orange rolled over before SU set its sights on the NCAA tournament.But after each of Syracuse’s starting attacks netted a hat trick, Daddio collected 15-of-21 draws and the Orange back line bullied Colgate into nine first-half turnovers, the Raiders became just that.“A lot of times we walk into a game like this with so many distractions, it’s hard to focus,” Desko said. “ … I’m very happy with everyone. I thought we came out and played right from the opening whistle and right through the rest of the game.”Midfielder Hakeem Lecky used his speed to start the scoring just over two minutes in after he dodged down the right alley and ripped a shot past freshman goalie Brandon Burke. Then a flurry of Syracuse goals followed.Rice on the fast break. Staats off a pass from Billy Ward. Lecky, this time from the left alley. Rice again. Henry Schoonmaker after muscling off a defender and placing a shot in the side netting.Colgate extended its pressure to the top of the zone, but Syracuse was able to dodge past and cut behind the Raiders. The Orange pestered Burke with 16 shots in the first quarter and 29 in the first half.“We watched a good amount of film this week and were pretty comfortable with their slide packages,” Rice said. “I thought just overall, everybody was just making the right play at the right time. Not doing too much and just running the offense.”After the Orange’s lead swelled to 10-3 by the half, it was more of the same at the start of the third. Staats netted a goal just over a minute into the frame, Bobby Wardwell — who replaced senior goalie Dominic Lamolinara at the half — snared the first three shots he faced and Daddio won the quarter’s first two faceoffs.Syracuse outscored the Raiders 7-0 in the third, collected 12-of-13 groundballs in the quarter and Burke faced 10 shots without recording a save.“We were unselfishly moving the ball,” attack Derek Maltz said. “If there were hockey assists in lacrosse, I think some of our middies, guys who did a great job of that all day, they would rack them up.”When asked what his team needs to work on heading into the NCAA tournament, Desko wryly responded, “Not much from this game.”Syracuse’s up-and-down season has provided all kinds of games. The Orange has won in overtime, been blown out, come from behind and so on.But not since beating Siena 19-7 in its home opener on Feb. 10 has SU effortlessly handled an inferior opponent. It played Binghamton down to the wire in a 10-8 win on April 2 and needed every bit of a nine-goal effort by Staats and Rice in a comeback win over Hobart on April 19.Colgate didn’t stand that kind of chance. And with NCAA tournament seeding being announced Sunday night, Syracuse may have flexed its muscles at the perfect time. Comments read more
The city’s Planning, Land Use and Management Committee postponed the vote on Aug. 21 to give more time for city planners to investigate concerns raised at the meeting, which ranged from a possible budget underestimate for the construction of bike lanes to inadequate measures to ensure jobs in the new center are filled by local residents.Austin Coleman, a senior majoring in psychology and political science, said it is very important that the community is involved with the project.“I’m glad they’re taking the community into consideration,” Coleman said. “We all agree the University Village needs to look better, but we need to work with the community to decide what should be a part of it.”The renovations will replace the University Village, Cardinal Gardens and Century Apartments with a housing complex and shopping center, which would include a grocery store.“When you think about it, it sounds awesome,” Coleman said. “But I think we’re forgetting about the people we share the neighborhood with. We’re in their neighborhood. We’re taking it away from them.”Junior critical studies major Kiki Hallebo said the Village would benefit students but is unsure whether the renovations will benefit the community.“It will bring in more jobs, but who are you actually giving jobs to?” she said.About 70 people, fairly equally divided between supporting and opposing the plan, spoke over the course of 2 1/2 hours at the PLUM hearing. Those commenting included other councilmembers, local business owners, USC employees, nearby residents, employees, community priests, public interest groups, students and professors.“USC wants the right to service the city,” said Councilmember José Huizar, PLUM vice chair. “This issue is that a project of a magnitude this size, people will expect more certainty in this process … we need more certainty.”The additional time is partially the result of having fewer people to analyze the documents submitted by USC, several presenters said, after the department was downsized due to budget cuts. The Sept. 18 presentation could result in a vote, but Councilmember and PLUM Chair Ed Reyes said a November vote seems likely, and the presentation would give the project “more urgency.”Craig Bunn, a senior majoring in English, said he hopes the committee continues to consider community input as they move forward with the vote.“There’s no question that it’ll change the existing community, for the better of the students but not necessarily the better of the people living there,” he said. “It’s kind of unfortunate that they don’t have as much of a say.” Students reacted to news that a Los Angeles city committee decided to delay a vote on approving a plan to renovate the University Village until November and schedule a hearing on Sept. 18. Dozens of public comments raised concerns over the effect that the development would have on the community and current shop owners and certain budget allocations.Master Plan · The large-scale project will include a housing complex, retail shops and a grocery store at the University Village. – Austin Vogel | Daily Trojan read more
Thierry Henry is expected to agree a deal to become Monaco head coach within the next 48 hours, Sky Sports News understands.Talks are at an extremely advanced stage and though a deal is not fully concluded yet both parties are hoping to settle on terms over the weekend.Monaco sacked Leonardo Jardim on Thursday with the club 18th in Ligue 1 and having won only once this season. Other names on Monaco’s shortlist were former Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte and River Plate manager Marcelo Gallardo.Since winning the French title in 2017, Monaco have raised almost half a billion pounds by selling players such as Kylian Mbappe (Paris Saint-Germain), Bernardo Silva and Benjamin Mendy (Manchester City), Tiemoue Bakayoko (Chelsea), Thomas Lemar (Atletico Madrid), and Fabinho (Liverpool).Henry, currently assistant manager of the Belgium national team, started his playing career at Monaco in 1994 and he was part of the side that won the French title in 1997 under Jean Tigana.He ruled himself out of the running to replace Steve Bruce as Aston Villa manager before Dean Smith was appointed earlier this week.Share this:FacebookRedditTwitterPrintPinterestEmailWhatsAppSkypeLinkedInTumblrPocketTelegram read more
