Chinese parents sleep in "tents of love" outside their college kids' dorms to make the goodbyes easier
Quartz: As the new school year starts in China, many colleges are welcoming not only students, but their parents too.
Universities across China are setting up tents and makeshift accommodations for parents staying overnight when they drop off their children at the start of the semester.

www.eventmanagerblog.com: No question we are all shocked by what has happened over the last year. The attacks in Paris, Nice, Orlando, just to name a few, are all in front of our eyes. Images it will be tough to forget.

Vanyaland: The mercurial Kanye West rolled through town this past weekend, his ongoing Saint Pablo tour taking over TD Garden in Boston on Saturday night. And like previous stops of the tour, which kicked off last month in Indiana, the star of the show was once again Kanye’s 360-degree “floating stage.”
Hovering over the floor and general admission crowd, the stage is part space ship, part pirate plank, part church pulpit that gives fans an intimate and unique look at, and access of, the performer. Elevated by pulley system, the stage leans in and out, can be raised on a whim, and lowers down with Kanye’s weight, putting him right in the face of his frenzied fans below.Cellphones in the Theatre May Offer More Than Just Unforgivable Distraction
HowlRound: I fear my phone ringing in a theatre almost as much as I fear losing my Spanish. Both, in a way, deal with severed connections. When a phone goes off, and it will, there’s nothing to do but cringe. Will shushing the victim only add to the distracting volume? Or do we pray the actors don’t break the fourth wall to tell off the incendiary patron, inadvertently causing more glowing phones to surface and capture the show-within-a-show?Trace the evolution of high heels across 100 years
