Where to Find Serious Coffee in New York? Everywhere Photo If you want to see just how much has changed in New York’s coffee scene in the last few years, stop by Gregorys Coffee. The company, which has eight locations in Manhattan and three more on the way, has the familiar feel of a chain store: cheerful cashiers, enormous lattes, flavored syrups. But look carefully and you’ll also see a short menu of exceptional coffees from cult roasters, prepared to order on an AeroPress, a syringe-like brewer that produces coffee with unusual clarity. Until recently, this was the kind of coffee and equipment you saw only at the hard-core coffee shops, the ones that felt like underground clubs: judgmental staff, coded language, obscure locations. You can also find it nearly anywhere, at prices comparable to the drinks at the bigger coffee chains. It’s not just that the coffee scene is growing; it’s also growing up. That the audience has grown is in no small part because of the changing geography of good coffee.

Interpreting Copyright Law (for Digital Storytelling) Issues of ownership, copyright, permission, and educational fair use invariably come up in any discussion involving the use of digital content created by someone else. The use of copyrighted material is indeed a serious concern and one that many educators and policy makers study and discuss. Unfortunately, there is no definitive answer to the question of what materials may or may not be freely used in educational projects. But other educators have a different opinion and do not want their students to use any materials that were created by someone else. The philosophy we use in our courses, reflected in the digital stories included on this website and in projects created by students in our courses, is that the use of some commonly available media may fall under the doctrine of Educational Fair Use in some countries, such as the United States. The digital stories are created by students and educators for non-profit, educational purposes.
Lasting Relationships Rely On 2 Traits Gottman wanted to know more about how the masters created that culture of love and intimacy, and how the disasters squashed it. In a follow-up study in 1990, he designed a lab on the University of Washington campus to look like a beautiful bed-and-breakfast retreat. He invited 130 newlywed couples to spend the day at this retreat and watched them as they did what couples normally do on vacation: cook, clean, listen to music, eat, chat, and hang out. And Gottman made a crucial discovery in this study—one that gets at the heart of why some relationships thrive while others languish. Throughout the day, partners would make requests for connection, what Gottman calls “bids.” For example, say that the husband is a bird enthusiast and notices a goldfinch fly across the yard. The wife now has a choice. People who turned toward their partners in the study responded by engaging the bidder, showing interest and support in the bid.
Three Entry-Level GoPro-type action cameras reviewed | Pretzel Logix Small action cameras like the GoPro have been around for awhile, but these cameras have traditionally only attracted the attention of those involved in “extreme” sports. As such, the price of such cameras has been kept in the $250 to $500 range. As technology has become cheaper, other manufacturers have realized that there is now an opportunity to make cheap, entry-level action cams for around $100.
