When there is no rain, the ocotillo drop all their leaves, to prevent water loss, and end up dry sticks. They look dead
After a rain, new leaves sprout.
They can go through this cycle several times a year.
We saw very happy ocotillo this last trip.
And when they get really excited.
They flower.

A simple Sudoku game. Put a number from 1 to 9 in each empty square, but without duplicating that number in any row, column, or larger square of nine individual squares.
I’ve got a particular game this far. So close. How hard could it be? We could trial and error the remainder; it wouldn’t take long, but is there a solution that doesn’t require that initial trial and error guess?

We don’t get much real information on television about the Clinton Foundation and the Trump Foundation; mostly we get political hype. It turns out there are big differences between the two. There is a source for nonprofit organization tax returns; GuideStar.org. (Really, they’re information returns, since nonprofit organizations don’t pay taxes.) These are the returns filed with the Internal Revenue Service, but they’re different from income tax returns; nonprofit information returns are public records; available to anyone who wants to look at them. We look at them every day at work, since that’s the only thing we do; work with nonprofit organizations. At GuideStar, they’ve gotten asked about the two foundations so much, that they wrote this independent analysis. No taking sides. No spin. Just adding clarity to the conversation:
