Bill will prevent individuals with outstanding student loan debt from having their professional licenses revoked
BOSTON — On Monday, November 21, 2022, the Massachusetts Legislature passed legislation to prevent individuals who default on their student loans from having their license or professional certification revoked as a result. As of Fall 2022, approximately one million Massachusetts residents hold a combined total of nearly $31 billion dollars in federal student loan debt, with an average debt of $34,146 per borrower. Senator Cindy F. Friedman (D-Arlington) supported the legislation and applauded its passage by the Legislature.
"Across our state, we are seeing a significant shortage of workers, especially in the healthcare sector, leading to significant barriers to tackling some of our biggest needs," said Senator Friedman, Senate Chair of the Joint Committee on Health Care Financing. "Taking away an individual's ability to work due to financial hardship makes little sense, and beyond that, stripping the workforce of talented, qualified professionals is equally as senseless. This legislation will support our workforce and allow Massachusetts residents to continue to work to correct defaults on student loan debt, rather than inflict further financial challenges."
Under current Massachusetts law, residents can have their licenses or professional certification revoked, denied, or refused for renewal as a result of defaulting on their student loan debt. Massachusetts is one of only 14 states with such a law. The bill does away with the law and blocks any state agency or board of registration from denying or revoking any license or professional or occupational certificate or registration based on an individual's default on an educational loan.… Read more.
Bill codifies 'no net loss' policy into law for conservation areas in Massachusetts
BOSTON – On Thursday, November 10, 2022, the Massachusetts Legislature passed legislation that protects open and public spaces throughout the Commonwealth and ensures their conservation for future generations. This legislation, known as the Public Land Preservation Act, permanently preserves and protects the amount of land designated as open spaces and prevents it from being used for other purposes. Senator Cindy F. Friedman (D-Arlington), supported the legislation in the Massachusetts Senate.
"It is vital that we preserve public and conservation lands and ensure safe and accessible spaces for Massachusetts families, nature, and wildlife," said Senator Friedman, Vice Chair of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means. "Passing this legislation is an important step in maintaining open spaces for the enjoyment of all for generations to come."
Since its passage as a ballot initiative in 1972, Article 97 of the Massachusetts Constitution has recognized the importance of public lands. Lands acquired for conservation purposes under Article 97 have protected status, and such lands' sale or conversion to other use must be approved by a two-thirds vote of each branch of the Legislature. Recognizing the importance of maintaining public lands, the Legislature, working with the Administration, has for many years ensured 'no net loss' of open spaces by requiring equivalent replacement land into open space when disposing of Article 97 land.
The conference report passed by the Legislature today codifies a 'no net loss' policy into law, making it legally binding.… Read more.
Investments support long-term economic health and prepares Massachusetts for new economic challenges
(BOSTON–11/10/2022) The Massachusetts Legislature on Thursday, November 3, 2022, passed a wide-ranging $3.76 billion relief package to provide targeted energy assistance, support ongoing transportation needs, and invest in the state's small businesses, caregivers, health care system, affordable housing, and efforts to fight climate change. Senator Cindy F. Friedman (D-Arlington) joined her colleagues in the Legislature to support the legislation.
"I am pleased with the important investments in both our community and across the Commonwealth that this sweeping legislation makes," said Senator Friedman, Vice Chair of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means. "Providing funding for food security efforts, affordable housing initiatives, and the strengthening of hospitals and behavioral health services is a critical step in ensuring our residents continue to have the resources they need as we face rising prices and financial hardships. I was proud to vote to send this legislation to the Governor's desk and thank my colleagues for their work to get this over the finish line."
In addition to $3.76 billion in direct investments, this legislation ensures that the Commonwealth responsibly pays for the historic $3 billion one-time tax relief that will be returned to an estimated three million taxpayers over the coming weeks. Combined, this $6.76 billion in tax relief and direct investments will provide much-needed breathing room for families, small businesses, and individuals feeling the pinch of inflation. Notably, the bill closes the books on Fiscal Year 2022 and dedicates $500 million in federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds, leaving a balance of $1.74 billion in federal resources for future use.… Read more.

BOSTON (11/04/2022) – On Tuesday, November 1, 2022, Governor Charlie Baker signed into law H.3117, An Act designating July 8 as Massachusetts Emancipation Day a.k.a. Quock Walker Day. The law directs the Governor to issue a proclamation commemorating the day each year. Senator Cindy F. Friedman (D-Arlington) and Representative Michelle Ciccolo (D-Lexington) sponsored the legislation in the Massachusetts Senate and the Massachusetts House of Representatives.
In 1783, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled that the Constitution of the Commonwealth's Declaration of Rights rendered slavery unconstitutional. Quock Walker, born to enslaved Black parents in Massachusetts, was the driving force behind this ruling. At 28 years old, after being promised his freedom on multiple occasions, Walker self-emancipated. Shortly after, Walker was found working nearby, was beaten, and locked in a barn by his former enslaver. Walker sued his former enslaver for assault and battery and was found to be a free man by a jury of the Worcester County Court of Common Pleas. This ruling was appealed and the decision by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court again found that Walker was a free man. This critical decision served as the precedent that ended slavery in the Commonwealth on constitutional grounds and led to Massachusetts becoming one of the first states in the nation to abolish slavery.
"Today, we took an important step to acknowledge the injustices in our state's history, as well as celebrate the Commonwealth's part in setting a nationwide precedent for human rights," said Senator Friedman, Vice Chair of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means.… Read more.
Senate bills support wheelchair users, recognize supported decision-making agreements
(BOSTON – 11/03/2022) The Massachusetts State Senate on Thursday passed two bills to help people with disabilities live independently in Massachusetts. First, An Act expanding wheelchair warranty protections for consumers with disabilities takes steps to ensure that wheelchair users are not stranded for long time periods in the event of the breakdown of an in-warranty wheelchair. Second, An Act relative to supported decision-making for agreements for certain adults with disabilities recognizes supported decision-making as an alternative to guardianship, allowing certain people with disabilities to retain greater decision-making power over their lives.
"I am proud of the Senate for passing these two very important initiatives today," said Senator Cindy F. Friedman (D-Arlington), Vice Chair of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means. "Ensuring that wheelchairs, an essential medical device, have strong warranty protections and allowing our residents to have greater decision-making power is necessary in our work to guarantee that people with disabilities are able to live their life with as much freedom as possible here in the Commonwealth. I hope that these two bills are taken up in the House soon so they can be signed into law."
Expanding Wheelchair Warranties
Wheelchair repair poses substantial problems for people with a mobility or physical disability in Massachusetts. In the event of a wheelchair breaking or otherwise failing to function, it is not uncommon for wheelchair users to wait weeks for repairs, including for wheelchairs under warranty. This leaves these individuals stranded at home and unable to go to work, school, medical appointments, grocery shopping, or elsewhere.… Read more.
Friedman Lauds New Law Limiting Step Therapy Practices
(BOSTON – 11/02/2022) Yesterday, Governor Charlie Baker signed legislation to limit the use of step therapy, or 'fail first' protocols that too often direct patients to cheaper medications rather than those more suitable to treat their condition. The bill, An Act relative to step therapy and patient safety, gives health care providers more leverage in determining the most effective treatment options for patients, saving patients expensive and painful regimens on medications they know to be ineffective or harmful. This law builds on similar legislation passed by the Senate in 2020, which was introduced by Senator Cindy F. Friedman (D-Arlington).
"This lawis a major step forward in ensuring patients and doctors have access to the right medication at the right time," said Senator Friedman, Senate Chair of the Joint Committee on Health Care Financing. "We are finally joining over half the states in the nation in reforming step therapy practices, putting the focus back on health care providers working with patients to offer the best treatment possible."
Step therapy serves as a cost-saving mechanism that can limit a patient's ability to access the medication that is most suitable for treating their condition. Insurers that utilize step therapy protocols require medical providers to prescribe lower-cost medications to patients first, and only grant approval for alternative medications when the cheaper options have failed to improve a patient's condition. In practice, this results in insurers effectively choosing medications for the patient, even in cases where their providers have recommended an alternative. When patients change insurers, they are often forced to start at the beginning of the step therapy protocol again, which results in wasteful health care expenditures, lost time for patients, and potentially devastating health care impacts on the patient.… Read more.

Governor Baker Signs Legislature's Expansive Mental Health Bill
August 16, 2022 October 11, 2022 Cindy Friedman
Law will further equitable access to mental health care for residents
(BOSTON – 08/16/2022) Today, legislative leaders and advocates joined Governor Baker for the ceremonial bill signing of the Mental Health ABC Act: Addressing Barriers to Care, comprehensive legislation to continue the process of reforming the way mental health care is delivered in Massachusetts, with the goal of ensuring that people get the mental health care they need when they need it. The Governor officially signed this legislation into law on August 10, 2022.
The Mental Health ABC Act is driven by the recognition that mental health is as important as physical health for every resident of the Commonwealth and should be treated as such. The legislation includes a wide variety of reforms to ensure equitable access to mental health care and remove barriers to care by supporting the behavioral health workforce.
"The health care system in Massachusetts is only as strong as its weakest link, and for far too long, mental health care has been overlooked and underfunded," stated Senator Cindy F. Friedman (D-Arlington), Senate Chair of the Joint Committee on Health Care Financing. "This law confronts this reality with the most comprehensive mental health care action the Commonwealth has seen in recent years, and it builds off of the historic investments we made in this care system over this past two-year legislative session. Of particular importance to me, this bill will finally provide the state the tools it needs to enforce existing mental health parity laws and it will address the emergency department boarding crisis that is impacting too many of our children and their families.… Read more.
Massachusetts Legislature Passes Comprehensive Legislation Protecting Access To Reproductive And Gender-Affirming Care
July 27, 2022 July 27, 2022 Cindy Friedman
(BOSTON–07/26/2022) Today, the Massachusetts Legislature passed comprehensive legislation designed to further protect and expand reproductive health care and gender-affirming services in the Commonwealth. Although abortion remains legal in Massachusetts due to the Legislature's efforts to codify and expand access to reproductive rights in 2020, the Legislature today took additional action to further protect these rights and establish additional safeguards following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. The legislation, An Act expanding protections for reproductive and gender-affirming care, provides legal protections to abortion providers, out-of-state patients, and insurers; expands access to contraceptives; and helps ensure that women who face grave circumstances after 24 weeks of pregnancy are not forced to leave Massachusetts to access reproductive health care services.
"In the face of an increasing amount of anti-abortion and anti-gender-affirming care laws enacted across the country, Massachusetts continues to serve as a national leader in protecting these essential rights with the passage of this legislation," said Senator Cindy F. Friedman (D-Arlington), Senate Chair of the Joint Committee on Health Care Financing and the lead sponsor of the bill. "We must do everything we can to protect the rights of our providers, patients, and visitors to the Commonwealth. This bill takes important steps to ensure that pregnant people who face dire circumstances after 24 weeks of pregnancy are not forced to leave Massachusetts in order to access reproductive health care services, and places the decision-making power to end a late term pregnancy in the hands of the patient and their treating physician, not a hospital's independent review panel.… Read more.
Friedman Amendments Included in Senate Legislation to Promote Economic Growth and Give Residents Relief
$4.57 billion spending package includes tax relief, funding for health care, housing,
technology, tourism and other sectors strained by the COVID-19 pandemic
(BOSTON – 07/21/2022) On Thursday, Senator Cindy F. Friedman (D-Arlington) joined her colleagues in the Massachusetts State Senate passed a $4.57 billion spending package to promote economic development in the Commonwealth and give relief to residents facing the continued effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and economic turbulence. The bill includes a broad-based tax relief package that will result in permanently lower taxes for many households and hundreds of thousands of residents receiving rebates from the state. Seven local amendments introduced by Senator Friedman were adopted, amounting to $5 million in local funding.The bill targets investment to sectors such as health care, housing, early education, agriculture, and tourism, which have been impacted by economic uncertainty. The bill also pursues economic growth by investing in climate resiliency, public lands, and clean energy.
"True economic development only occurs when we are meeting and exceeding the basic necessities of all of our residents – and that's what we're trying to focus on in this bill," said Senator Friedman, Vice Chair of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means. "This legislation invests several billion dollars in working families supports and programs across the Commonwealth. I'm glad to see my local amendments were adopted, which focus on increasing local funding for clean drinking water initiatives, food insecurity programs, and infrastructure investments."

Feb 5 Book Review: Zurumbático by Luis Cobelo
Culture, Reviews
© Luis Cobelo
By Scarlett Davis
Luis Cobelo's Zurumbático is more than a word; it is an entire mind-set. Zurumbático is an exhibit, a book, a film and even a gif. This project was inspired by the photographer's ardent admiration of the novel One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez, which celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2017. The collection is a sublime delve into magical realism and Latin American culture. Masterfully, the photography transcends fiction, while interweaving the sense of dream, memory, and fantasy. Profoundly elusive yet present in every still, are thoughts of love and death.
Zurumbático is a kind of carnivalesque-grotesque where everything in the world is turned upside down. Cobelo guides his book with the phrase, "Todo es real hasta que se demuestre lo contrario" which means "Everything is real until proven otherwise." In the cannon of Magical Realism, what is outlandish or improbable is presented as matter of fact. A new world is presented without the need for a referential reality, free from the constraints of convention.
As the Venezuelan photographer Cobelo has expressed, it is common for people in Latin America to share this mind set. He once said, "Some things people find strange are very normal to me. If someone told me that he met his mother's ghost on his way home, I would believe him." In Zurumbático, things are exactly how they are. His words have additive meaning, given that while shooting this project his mother passed. The death provided new meaning to his work, as the photographer has expressed.
The word "Zurumbático" was crafted from One Hundred Years of Solitude and encapsulates many meanings: silly, melancholic, somber, dull, enigmatic, and drunk. Much of the shooting took place in Colombia. The town of Aracataca , the birth place of Márquez, proved to be reminiscent of the novelist's fictional town, Macondo. Cobelo pays homage to the work with some of his pictures. At one point, the exhibit was featured in an old hospital in Cortona, Italy as a part of the festival Cortona in the Move (2017). The exhibition began its tour in Rome during the book fair, Più libri, Più Liberi (2017) , making its way to México City in Hydra+Fotografía in November of 2017, and following that is scheduled to appear in Bogotá, Miami; Puebla , México; and Venezuela with more destinations to come.
The word "love" was handwritten above a portrait of a yellow butterfly trapped under a translucent glass, symbolic of the love between Mauricio Babilonia and Fernanda del Carpio. While a picture of a woman's nipples visible beneath a wet white t-shirt featured the words, "When I saw you in the yard"---a statement employing Cobelo's own interpretation of Márquez's work. Yet in all of the photos, love is a kind of universal language unto itself and is very much of the moment, beautiful yet also fleeting.
A kind of tragicomedy, the images in Zurumbático exist on their own spatial and temporal level. The sacred and profane are united along with the dark and the light. Cobelo made the artistic decision to tap into the heart of Latin America, shooting with color what is so often depicted through black and white. Life is hard and challenging but it is also unimaginably profound and moving. Luis Cobelo's images evoke color and vitality and were created to last.
Luis Cobelo holds a degree in Philosophy from the University of Zulia, Venezuela. His work has appeared in publications such as Rolling Stone, National Geographic, GQ, Vogue UK and Vice Mexico. He is the chief editor of LAT Photo Magazine, an online publication dedicated to Latin American documentary photography.
Zurumbático is available for purchase.
Be sure to watch the Zurumbático musical video.

The Dark Is Sucking
Posted byadmin	 August 16, 2007 Leave a comment on The Dark Is Sucking
I was extremely happy to see, earlier this year, that a film adaptation was being made of one of my favorite novels as a teenager, Susan Cooper's The Dark Is Rising. If you've never read the book — or the other four books in the series — they're worth your time, at least if you're into fantasy based upon British mythology. What characterizes the novels most for me — and what made them stand out to me when I first read them — is their intelligence and their pervasive sense of atmosphere. What I most remember about the novel is the way Cooper describes a small prosaic modern British town choked by snow and darkness — a place that is literally and metaphorically being crushed under the weight of its own history. It's a quiet novel, and though the heart of it is a deep and desperate struggle between the Light and the Dark, it's thankfully short of wizard duels and big explosions. The confrontations between 11 year old protagonist Will Staunton, his ally and tutor Merriman Lyon, and the Dark — represented by dark horseman the Rider and insane tramp the Walker — are mostly metaphorical. There's a lot going on, but it's all behind the scenes.
And who couldn't love dialogue like this? (Copied over from Oz and Ends):
The rector stood up, his smooth, plump face creased in an effort to make sense of the incomprehensible. "Certainly it has gone," he said, looking slowly round the church. "Whatever–influence it was. The Lord be praised." He too looked at the Signs on Will's belt, and he glanced up again, smiling suddenly, an almost childish smile of relief and delight. "That did the work, didn't it? The cross. Not of the church, but a Christian cross nonetheless." "Very old, them crosses are, rector," said Old George unexpectedly, firm and clear. "Made a long time before Christianity. Long before Christ." The rector beamed at him. "But not before God," he said simply. The Old Ones looked at him. There was no answer that would not have offended him, so no one tried to give one. Except, after a moment, Will. "There's not really any before and after, is there?" he said. "Everything that matters is outside Time. And comes from there and can go there." Mr Beaumont turned to him in surprise. "You mean infinity, of course, my boy." "Not altogether," said the Old One that was Will. "I mean the part of all of us, and of all the things we think and believe, that has nothing to do with yesterday or tomorrow because it belongs at a different kind of level. Yesterday is still there, on that level. Tomorrow is there too. You can visit either of them. And all Gods are there, and all the things they have ever stood for. And," he added sadly, "the opposite, too." "Will," said the rector, staring at him, "I am not sure whether you should be exorcized or ordained. You and I must have some long talks, very soon."
So I was very, very unhappy to see the trailer for David Cunningham's film, which looks like a pretty blatant attempt to ride on some extremely profitable coattails. (I won't go into the massive and bizarre changes between book and film; someone's already done it for me.) There's also a lot of discussion about Cunningham's apparent evangelical bent…and it seems odd that they picked screenwriter John Hodge to adapt the novel; though he's definitely an excellent writer, he's most known for writing gritty and/or weird Danny Boyle films (Shallow Grave, Trainspotting, A Life Less Ordinary, The Beach) than fantasy.
But of course, the path that leads us here is a pretty clear-cut one: novels about boy wizard sell roughly a hundred trillion copies; movie adaptations of said novels do pretty much the same; good old Gandalf and Aslan (who, on screen at least, is a contracted employee of Walden Media, the same faith-based production company that's making The Dark Is Rising) are worth their weight in gold; suddenly, every producer in Hollywood is hunting the used bookstores for cheap young adult fantasy properties they can option and turn into their very own personal magical mint.
Problem is, the "kids" haven't read The Dark Is Rising. It came out in 1973. And while you can probably turn any Newbury Award winning book into a movie and guarantee that parents will drop their Potter-besotted children into theater seats, your real audience for this film are the people who read it as children or teens and fell in love with it, and smart kids and teens who've never been exposed to it.
Of course, that's not the billion dollar Harry Potter audience…but The Dark Is Rising is not Harry Potter. It's not full of expensive CG set pieces. You could probably make a pretty good and faithful adaptation for about $20 million, and earn your money back in the first week. And you'd end up with a great piece of cinema, both profitable and high quality, something to be remembered by.
But I think The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising (as the film is clumsily titled; there's gonna be a sequel, kids!) is going to be at best a by-the-numbers Hollywood fantasy film, and at worst a complete train wreck…this despite the presence of Christopher Eccleston as the Rider, which is a nearly pitch-perfect piece of casting. As much as I like Ian McShane in Sexy Beast and Deadwood (where he actually plays a real-life ancestor of mine), he's totally wrong to play Merriman Lyon; I think Paul McGann would have been excellent in the role. From interviews I've read, it seems apparent that none of the filmmakers and maybe only one or two of the actors were familiar with the books before production. (McShane was quoted as saying "I know they sold a few copies, but I couldn't read it very well. It's really dense. It's from the 70s, you know?")
So do me this favor: don't see it. Go buy the (doubtless marketed as a movie tie-in) book and read it instead. Punish these people with your wallet, and reward Susan Cooper for writing such an excellent novel.
And maybe in another twenty-odd years, somebody will revisit this material and do it right.

Two music geeks discuss an overlooked song by a popular artist.
Welcome to Skipped on Shuffle!
Hello! Welcome to Skipped on Shuffle, a brand new podcast. In this music lover's delight, your hosts Scott and Jason will discuss overlooked songs by popular artists. After all, even the most famous bands of all time have songs which aren't as popular as others, and Scott and Jason want to bring some of those forgotten gems to the forefront.
Scott got the idea for the podcast while he was listening to the album Elemental by British pop band Tears for Fears. He reminisces, "I was walking along listening to the album and thinking to myself, 'This record is so good.' It's a shame it isn't more well-known. As I listened, I was trying to think of ways I could introduce people to albums and songs that get passed over."
As a freelance writer, Scott's initial thought was to create a blog where he could write articles about albums and artists he thinks deserve a second listen. However, he realized the idea bored him.
"I didn't want to make another blog. I write all day, and I've run numerous blogs, and didn't want to run down that path again with this particular idea."
He had the notion of turning the idea into a podcast when he realized how often his friends were discussing podcasts, and how feverish they are to find new series to enjoy.
The only problem was Scott knew a podcast which consisted of him talking into a microphone would fall flat.
The Skipped on Shuffle Duo
Scott doesn't mince words when he talks about the idea of a solo podcast. "No one wants to hear me ramble on about music by myself," he says. "That's not a podcast. But if I had someone else to talk to, someone with a similar love for music but slightly different tastes, that would certainly be interesting."
Scott called up his friend Jason, a musician and self-professed music geek, and told him about his idea.
"I absolutely loved the concept right from the beginning," Jason said. "Scott and I have been friends for over a decade, and whenever we're together, we talk about music. The idea of the two of us working together to bring people into our conversation and expose listeners to music they may have never heard before was simply perfect."
However, neither Scott nor Jason had ever made a podcast before, and both admit that they weren't big podcast listeners.
"We had to take a crash course in podcasts together to figure out what Skipped on Shuffle was going to be," Jason explains. "We found a bunch of music-related podcasts and listened to them on our own time, and then met to discuss what we liked about certain presentations and what didn't work for us."
Scott adds, "We were surprised no one had done this before. Sure, there are a lot of podcasts which talk about pop music, but we couldn't find one specifically focused on the songs by popular artists which for whatever reason aren't popular. That's when we knew that not only did we have a topic we both enjoyed, but we had an original premise which would set us apart from the crowd."
Next Step? A Name!
Armed with a premise and a medium, the pair now had to figure out a name. Numerous ideas were thrown around, including "Playlist Refugees" and "Skip Limit Reached," but "Skipped on Shuffle" ended up being the favorite.
"For me, Skipped on Shuffle gets across what the podcast is about without any need for explanation," Jason said. "Most people nowadays are listening to music on playlists which are either put together by computer algorithms or by people they've never met. When you're playing a list of shuffled tracks, you tend to skip the ones you don't already know or don't grab you within the first five seconds. This podcast is about those songs, so it was the perfect title."
Over the next year, the duo figured out which songs they wanted to talk about and how they were going to structure each episode.
"We knew right from the beginning we were going to have to limit ourselves to only talk about songs from tremendously popular artists," Scott said. "Jason and I both have such broad taste in music, so there are quite literally tens-of-thousands of songs we could discuss on Skipped on Shuffle. However, we knew talking about an obscure band that released one record in Japan or something wasn't going to be interesting to people who aren't already a fan of that band."
"So we made a list of some of the most popular acts we could think of from each decade," Jason said. "Once we had that list we pared it down to six artists which we thought had a big influence over their respective decade, and then got to work figuring out what song of theirs to cover."
Scott adds, "That last part was pretty easy; we just looked at the artist's iTunes chart, sorted every song by popularity, and scrolled all the way to bottom. It was shocking to both of us what songs were low on the list, especially for enormous bands like The Who and Led Zeppelin."
What Is A Skipped On Shuffle Episode Like?
The duo decided to structure each episode as a funnel, discussing the broad topic of who the artist is and their history first, then the album, then the song itself, and then their own personal connections to that song.
"While it's hard to think of anyone not knowing who Coldplay is, there are still plenty of people out there who don't know Coldplay's story," Jason said. "We decided it would be best to give everyone a quick crash course on each artist before getting into the song we focused on for each episode. It's a great way to give context to the individual song because people have a sense of what was going on with the artist while it was being written and recorded."
The first six Skipped on Shuffle episodes center on songs by rock acts like The Who and Led Zeppelin, electronic acts like Depeche Mode, and singer/songwriter acts like Fiona Apple. In the future, Scott and Jason hope to include more acts from diverse genres across the decades of music history.
"We figure we could do one hundred Skipped on Shuffle episodes focusing on a different artist every time without breaking a sweat," Jason said. "It would only be by the time we got into the triple-digit episodes that we would start to run out of well-known bands to cover, and would either have to do smaller bands or repeat artists."
"If we make it to a hundred episodes, I'll gladly take on that challenge," Scott says with a smile.
All The Pertinent Info
The first Skipped on Shuffle episode will land on April 27, 2018, and will focus on the song "Werewolf" by Fiona Apple.
Subsequent episodes will center on "The Punk and the Godfather" by The Who, "The Love Thieves" by Depeche Mode, "We Never Change" by Coldplay, "For Your Life" by Led Zeppelin, and "Light Years" by Pearl Jam.
Each episode will be preceded by a blog about the artist written by either Scott or Jason. These blogs will be exclusively published at SkippedOnShuffle.com.
Simultaneously with each episode, the duo will upload a YouTube video of their interpretation of the song featured therein. These interpretations will be recorded live, usually in an acoustic setting.

If your child has any of the following symptoms, call your pediatrician for an evaluation. Heel pain that begins after starting a new sports season or a new sport. Walking with a limp or on tiptoes. Pain that increases with running or jumping. Heel tendon that feels tight. Pain when you squeeze the child's heel near the back. Pain in one or both heels.
Depending on the Podiatrist's diagnosis and the severity of the pain, there are several treatment options available. Rest/ reduced activity: your child should reduce or stop any activity that causes pain, such as sports and running. This can be a difficult option, as children are normally quite willful in pursuit of their favorite pastimes! Over the counter anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen (found in Nurofen), to help reduce pain and inflammation. Try to make sure your child does the recommended stretching exercises before sport/play. This will should help reduce the stress on the fascia tendon and relieve heel pain. The use of Orthotic insoles. Footactive Kids orthotics are made for children. They will help properly support the foot, help prevent over-pronation or improper gait restoring your child's foot the the correct biomechanical position. If you are in any doubt or your child's foot pain persists then please arrange an appointment with a Podiatrist or Physiotherapist. Please click here for more information on the use of orthotics for children.


Thank you for these reflections. I've been thinking lately, related to your point 1 about missing being around kids, how strange it is that we've managed to create societies where students-equal-children and they are in schools all day, most of the year. There's a very real chance, now, that people never get to know any kids until they have kids themselves.
That is so true, Leah. I had never considered that before.
There are little girls in the building next to mine and they now capture me daily with hugs and demand I watch their cartwheel shows.
I swear we have teacher pheromones that never dissipate!
You make a great great point that I hadn't considered before, either. If people were more exposed to kids — including kids other than their own — I wonder if they would show more empathy and support for teachers/education in general.
You're the best! Your blog has been so helpful to me as I've made the transition out of teaching and into an office job. I wonder if I'll start missing being around kids. Right now I'm thrilled to be away from them, though keep in mind I taught the primary grades for 14 years. Right now I'm in the "rejoicing in my newly calm, predictable work environment" phase. And speaking of clothing, I was thrilled to immediately ditch all my teacher outfits. I've really missed "dressing up" and am so happy to be able to look a little more put together throughout the day. As for your point #5, I too am enjoying the "lightness of my work bag," both literally and figuratively.
Thank you for your kind words. I'm so glad that the blog has helped you and that you have been enjoying your new job.
What a change from fourteen years with primary-age children! I can definitely see why you would appreciate the chance to dress up now, along with the other perks of office work.
Congrats on finding Life After Teaching, and welcome to the club!
Well, I am deciding whether to retire or not, and I ran across this nice blog. If I do retire, then there won't be the extra planning, papers, evaluation (we have a very comprehensive one in our state), and all the other stressors that comes with teaching. I still enjoy teaching the kids but all the other "stuff" that is put on the teacher's plate is pushing me to retire. I have one month to decide, and, it's a tough one.
Thanks for sharing your story. If you haven't yet, check out the comments from the first Life After Teaching post — they might help you with your decision. You may also find inspiration from this interview with Marie, a retired teacher who found a second career that allows her to teach without all the stresses of the classroom. Best of luck to you!
Two years out, I still love how long weekends feel and the joy of not doing reports or revising virtual stacks of essays every night. Teaching MS English sometimes feels like groundhog day!
But, most of my career was spent overseas in international schools, so the life I gave up is still winning out right now in my heart. That being said, I still can't bring myself to walk back into the classroom despite lovely offers.
I might retrain as a librarian because I do miss my colleagues and the kiddos. And I still love education! And, if I'm totally honest, I miss the money (international teachers…and teachers in Canada…make significantly more than American teachers).
Thanks for reading and sharing — and good luck with your next step!

Church Rights, Homeless Outreach, and Zoning Laws
Posted on March 4, 2010 by Universal Life Church Monastery
The conflict between church interests and local zoning laws is not a new phenomenon; in the United States, communities have often sought to restrict church building expansions and, perhaps to a lesser extent, church activities in the public realm. The chief question at the heart of the issue is to what extent a congregation has the right to practice its religious freedom unimpeded.
The conflict between church public outreach and the concerns of the surrounding neighborhood has reached the federal court in Phoenix, Arizona, where city officials have ordered a halt to a CrossRoads United Methodist Church's breakfast for the homeless in an upscale neighborhood park. Officials, who say the event violates zoning laws, instituted the ban in response to complaints from neighbors about the alleged criminal activity of some of the event's homeless participants. According to Amanda Lee Myers of the Associated Press, "Residents say the homeless create blight and pose a danger to them, pointing to the case of a homeless felon caught with child pornography in the neighborhood". "[S]ome have stuck around and have urinated in yards or broken into cars", claims resident Jason Morris, who argues, "[The ban is] about a law that applies to every property owner." Church pastor Rev. Dottie Escobedo-Frank argues, "It doesn't make sense that they would leave here, where there's a bathroom, and go urinate on someone's yard". The man possessing the child pornography was found in an alley just outside the home of Kevin Swatich. However, Escobedo-Frank claims that the incident was an isolated one and happened months prior.
But does CrossRoads Church have the freedom to carry out its charitable services in public parks despite the concerns of neighbors, or is its freedom limited by certain responsibilities which all citizens and corporations are granted? Exactly how far does freedom to practice religion extend?
On one hand, the actions of the city potentially violate First Amendment protections for religious freedom, argues Kevin Theriot, senior counsel for the Alliance Defense Fund, a Scottsdale-based legal group which takes on legal cases in defense of Christian congregations. "Feeding the homeless and feeding those who are hungry has been recognized as an important religious belief for years," he says, according to Myers. "My guess is if they were serving a pancake breakfast to local neighborhood folks that aren't homeless, then nobody would have a problem." Theriot claims the homeless event was banned because city
officials target the homeless in an attempt to keep them invisible. On the other hand, residents posit that the First Amendment does not cover unimpeded church activity, and that the same laws which apply to citizens apply to religious organizations: "This has never been about the First Amendment," Morris says. "It's about a law that applies to every property owner."
Whether or not Morris is correct in his assessment, it is becoming more difficult for local jurisdictions to restrict public religious events: in 2000, the U.S. Congress passed the federal Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act, a law which guarantees greater protection for religious groups in zoning disputes and requires solid evidence to show that the event endangers the public.
Exactly what constitutes religious freedom? As the above law already presupposes, religious organizations do not possess the religious freedom to impinge on the civil or human rights of other citizens or entities. Given this stipulation, why should faith groups be exempt from zoning laws and permitted, for example, to build outlandish suburban "mega-churches"—only too often segregated along class and race boundaries—on wetlands, farms, and other delicate ecosystems? After all, such unregulated growth might arguably impinge on the rights of the general population to have access to sustainable natural resources and recreational opportunities.
Of course, the breakfast in the park held by CrossRoads Church does not exactly constitute environmental degradation. However, it is a church event held in a public park, and the community who swayed officials to ban the event provided tenuous evidence that the homeless participants vandalized property or generally threatened the children of the community; indeed, what stands out most of all seems to be an underlying classism.
It is probably a blessing that online churches such as Universal Life Church Monastery avoid this problem by conducting their public outreach largely through the medium of the Internet and smaller and more frequent worship celebrations in our Seattle Sanctuary's Le Jardin.
Still, the use of public space is a concern for most churches. We always welcome the thoughts of our ministers; give us your opinion on this matter.
Newspapers should cover the Lee NH does not want homeless US Military Combat Veteans living in their community go to http://www.veteranresortchapel.com
Lorraine Pierce says:
Our local Methodist church is letting druggies hang out at the front breezeway. All day long they go back and forth from the "smoke shop" to the church. Three have been found passed out and Over Dosed at the church this week. Our community is tired of it, yet the pastor supports having them there and was on the news saying so!
What kind of help is this? Enabling isn't helping.
Peter Macdonald says:
In Lee NH at the http://www.veteranresortchapel.com church the town of Lee does not want homeless US Military Combat Veterans in their town.
Mary Centers says:
Our church asked the city administer about a soup kitchen ministry and was told we cant stop you but don't like the ideal. We. Have been donated commercial. equipment. Architect was ready to began construction of remodel asked us to double check with city in case there was any thing we did need to get after calling all of a sudden our church isnt zoned to feed people. We asked for a meeting. So much invested to turn back.
http://www.veteranresortchapel.com is a Church, non-profit with the mission from God to help homeless U.S. Military Combat veterans find their way home. The Town of Lee NH has refused to allow our church in. We can not find a lawyer to help does anyone know one. Go to http://www.veteranresortchapel.com and let us know.

NewsQuest to exit NY, charge flat fee
February 07, 2000 by JOHN FRANK
DENVER: Broadcast clipping and monitoring service NewsQuest is closing its New York office as part of a cost-cutting plan. But another move may prove a boon for clients, as it now plans to offer its services for a flat monthly fee rather than on a per-item basis.
DENVER: Broadcast clipping and monitoring service NewsQuest is
closing its New York office as part of a cost-cutting plan. But another
move may prove a boon for clients, as it now plans to offer its services
for a flat monthly fee rather than on a per-item basis.
Former NewsQuest/NY employees will go to work for Advertising
Information Services in New York, an affiliated company, and service
area clients from there, according to president Darren Rogers. He added
that closing the NY office saved the company dollars 15,000 a month in
rent alone.
NewsQuest, which will soon change its name to News & Information
Services LLC, will now offer clients a dollars 2,500 monthly package
that includes 50 taped broadcast segments and 50 verbatim transcripts
gathered in New York, Chicago, Washington, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and
Denver. Previously, NewsQuest had charged dollars 95 per segment,
meaning that clients now get roughly twice as many clips (50 instead of
26) for the same amount of money.
A new dollars 4,500 monthly package offers 100 clips per month and a 25%
discount on access to its web site (www.nq1.com), where users can
conduct their own searches for items. The dollars 6,000 package offers
an unlimited number of clips and a Web discount.
'Our clientele wants a product that's less expensive,' Rogers said.
'With other clipping services, they're paying for a lot of markets they
don't really want.'
NewsQuest closed its St. Louis office last year, and now has outposts in
Philadelphia, Chicago and Denver.
The company, which bills itself as a premier service in recording,
monitoring and capturing radio and TV news stories, also boasts
affiliations with more than 125 monitoring services across the country.

Born to the Belgian nobility; son of Stance and Plectrude. Raised in a military atmosphere. Courtier to the Count of Namur. Disappointed by court life, and ashamed of the many privileges he received from his family and military post, Gerard realized that he was called to the monastic life.
He found Belgian monasteries too lax in their discipline. While visiting France in 917 on a mission from the Count, Gerard decided the life of the monks of Saint Denis was right for him. He settled his worldly affairs, and took vows at the monastery. There Gerard became an example to other monks in following the Rule, and in his devotion to prayer. His life, and his encouragement of the brothers, helped Saint Denis becoming an example for monasteries throughout Europe.
He was ordained, but wrestled with feelings of inadequacy as a priest. After 11 years, the abbot asked Gerard to return home to form a monastery there. Abbot of the new monastery, he soon gained renown for his strict observance of the Benedictine Rule. This led many religious and political leaders to request that he reform monasteries throughout Flanders, Lorraine, and Champagne. Near the end of his life Gerard returned to the monastery he built, and spent the rest of his life there in solitude and prayer.


Our yoga & fitness classes are taught by inspiring, professionally trained and certified teachers that offer a variety of class styles for every level of experience.
Melanie is a Calgary-based Yoga teacher, Holistic Nutritionist & Reiki Practitioner. Growing up as an athlete, she always had a passion for health & wellness. After becoming a Holistic Nutritionist in 2013 she began to understand that being healthy wasn't just about what you put in your body, it was just as important to balance the emotional, spiritual and energetic aspects of yourself. Up until then, she had pursued yoga as injury-prevention and fitness but quickly began to see positive shifts in her mental, emotional and spiritual body. Yoga and meditation brought her to a place of deep connection and self-love and she understands that healing starts from the inside out. Melanie is passionate about sharing and creating safe space for others to connect to their true selves and find true love.
Her yoga classes focus on breath work, mind-body connection, and healing from the inside out– all complimented by contemporary music to form an inviting atmosphere. She inspires students and clients to connect with their authentic selves and embrace all of their unique abilities.
Melanie graduated from the 200-hour Vinyasa teacher-training program at Karma Teachers Vancouver. She's taught at studios, workshops & retreats with Lululemon, Saje Wellness & Chloe's Countertop and more.
Hannah is a life-long yogi and a lover of all things movement - whether that be on the mat, in the ocean or high in the mountains. She's inspired by travel, music, nature, photography, culture, and food. She brings her passion for community and connection into every class she takes and leads. Get ready to sweat, laugh and cheer each other on!
The decision to become a yogi wasn't one that I consciously made but rather one that unfolded through a series of life events and well-planned timing ( thanks Universe). Cliche as it may be, my practice began as a means to escape, and an attempt to mend, a very broken heart. While I have come to discover that yoga is much more than poses placed skillfully on a mat, it was this physical practice that gave me refuge. At a time in my life when nothing seemed to make sense, yoga did.
The initial step into my first YTT was one fuelled by a longing for something more. I am forever grateful to Rob Walker at the Alberta Yoga College for instilling a sense of curiosity in me and for allowing me to explore the transition from a student to both a student and teacher of yoga. Since graduating from the College I have been incredibly blessed to mentor daily under the gaze of my most cherished yoga teacher Tamara Terry.
Presently, I am completing my 300 RYT with Kate Mak at the Mynah school of yoga. In my classes, I aim to weave the physical practice with music, laughter, mindfulness, and most importantly, love. I will challenge you to move through the asana practice skillfully and ask that you trust yourself enough to move from a place of intention rather than one of habit. From one yogi to another, I would be honored and delighted to share my practice with you.
For me, Yoga is a chance to be present, and to focus on something other than "what's next." To focus on the breath. Feeling. Noticing. One of my favourite aspects of the physical practice is the humbling knowledge that each day is different. The Yoga community has brought me so much joy and created the most amazing friendships.
I love sharing my practice with others, and look forward to meeting you and experiencing your energy!
Amy is a local Parkhill resident and yoga instructor. She has been practicing yoga for over fifteen years and was grateful to deepen her practice as a student of Rob Walker at the Alberta Yoga College teacher training program.
Her classes adopt a flowing vinyasa style with elements of breathwork and the occasional deeper, longer hold. Amy is passionate about movement, proprioception and breath, and their relationship to brain plasticity and adaptation.
Yoga makes us feel good and there are endless reasons why this is true; Amy loves to explore and express this mind/body/breath connection through her practice of teaching.
Tara is a born and raised Calgarian and started her yoga journey just over ten years ago (though she's convinced it's been lifetimes longer). For Tara, yoga is a way to create space and alignment within oneself and is the foundation for a meaningful life.
Through the gifts and challenges of the practice, Tara recently chose to take a leap of faith and pursue a very uncertain, but certainly more joyful, path ahead. Her classes are a little bit of everything, always with the intention of sifting through and opening up the energy lines of the body.
Besides an avid yogi and teacher, Tara is a holistic nutrition and functional medicine student, aspiring healer, and budding entrepreneur.
My feet first landed on my yoga mat back in 2006 as a means to rehabilitate my body from injuries sustained as a nationally ranked figure skater. After a career-ending stress fracture in my lower back, I found myself back on my yoga mat working through the frustration of the healing process. But this time I also needed to work through my own mental resistance to slowing down. Those years gave me a wealth of knowledge of body awareness and proper alignment, which continue to be pillars in my style of teaching.
After spending 3 years traveling the world as a professional figure skater, a year backpacking through various countries, as well as finishing my Bachelor of Interior Design, I was ready to come back to my mat.
Yoga brought me back home to myself. It allowed me the space to stop living inside of my head and to live more in the moment, letting go of my own limiting beliefs and the need to be perfect. Yoga to me is self-care, and self-care should feel good. Therefore, in my classes, I focus on each individual's connection to self, encouraging them to gracefully move from a place of authenticity and love.
Off the mat, the adventure continues to be a huge part of my life. Whether it's mountain escapades (rock climbing, skiing, boarding, or hiking), playing on circus silks, or ice cream adventures, you'll always find me out exploring. Yoga helps to bring balance to this full lifestyle and in my downtime, you can find me jamming out on guitar or piano. This practice continues to inspire me, and hopefully all of you, in connection, in creating space, and in letting go of the stresses of day to day life.
Let's live a life more inspired.

.The Heil HDK drum kit series is a culmination of over 2 years spent on the road with leading drummers. They gave us their ideas, their dreams and their needs which we turned into reality. Every component of a drum kit needs special attention when it comes to reproducing the sound accurately. There are many drum microphones out there but the artists that helped design the Heil drum microphones wanted more accuracy, not just level. Each one of them were tired of little plastic toys that did not reproduce well. They all agreed, after hearing and using the new technologies of the Heil drum microphones, that they had never heard this level of quality reproduction.

Palapa History Timeline
Sharon Morris
Sharon Morris and her husband, Harry, came to Todos Santos from Albuquerque, New Mexico in 1996 and purchased property on the "otro lado" where they planned to retire. Their simple dream of retirement evolved into Serendipity, a bed and breakfast that continues to welcome guests and provide a tranquil "oasis" on the ocean. Sharon enjoyed careers in a number of areas including music, theater, special education, educational administration and psychology. In all of these endeavors, her focus was on children and families, which was a perfect fit with the mission of the Palapa Society. She joined the Palapa Board in 2005 and has served in both active and advisory roles.
"I strongly believe that children and families are the core of any community and that education is the most important tool we can provide. Through the years the Palapa Society has continued to develop educational opportunities for the Todos Santos community and I am grateful to be a part of this exciting journey."

On Tuesday, April 25, 2017, ten SVRTC divisions were represented by members (Amelia, Brunswick, Cumberland, Franklin City, Greensville, Henry, Hopewell, Lunenburg, Nottoway, and Sussex) to learn about disaster recovery from Infrascale. Larry Mogil, Territory Account Manager with Infrascale, gave members an overview of the disaster recovery service it provides. Mr. Mogil emphasized how costly the loss of time from an appliance failure can be to a company or school system. Another huge effect he discussed was the loss of productivity. "The chances are very high for most people to have a problem in the next 24 months", he added. Mr. Mogil explained how ransomware attacks a computer and holds the data hostage. He equated disaster recovery and backup is like insurance. Two key concepts he discussed was that Infrascale provides cloud back-up and disaster recovery. Mr. Mogil answered questions from members and encouraged them to contact him at larry.mogil@infrascale.com with other questions they may have.


In my last blog post, I shared this reality: many college career service offices are lame. Too many schools are failing to prepare students adequately for the work world and part of the problem can be traced to moribund career services.
A college career services office should be more than a place that students discover in their senior year. It should be more than a place where students can learn how to write a resume or obtain the schedule of corporate recruiter visits.
It's hard to know what an ideal career services when so few exist. Consequently, today I am sharing what Wake Forest University – a true trailblazer in this field – is doing.
I pulled the following details about the ambitious Wake Forest program from a report, A Roadmap to Transforming the College-to-Career Experience, that I mentioned in my previous post.
When you are asking a college or university about how it prepares its students for the work world, compare the response you get to what this trailblazing university is doing. What we need are college administrators across the country to start taking career and personal development as seriously as the folks in Winston-Salem.
Transformational change at Wake Forest came from the top. In 2009, as part of his strategic plan, President Nathan Hatch envisioned a campus culture in which personal and career development would be a mission – critical component of the undergraduate student experience. He imagined and set out to ensure an undergraduate experience in which students would gain not only an academic education, but also a career education by utilizing all four years to learn about themselves and their options in the world of work.
Soon after, he appointed Andy Chan as the Vice President for Personal & Career Development, the only known cabinet-level career development professional in higher education. Assuming President Hatch's vision, VP Chan conceived of an innovative, well-resourced office designed to successfully prepare students for the world of work in a comprehensive way. By audaciously aiming to impact every student and to activate the entire college community, a new paradigm for personal and career development was launched.
Fast forward to 2013 and the new Office of Personal & Career Development (OPCD) has made huge strides. At a time when the average college has slashed its career office budget by 16 percent, Wake Forest is investing heavily in this critical area.
Over the last three years, Wake Forest has raised more than $10 million to invest in a state-of-the art office, unique "College-to-Career" courses, enhances employer relations, and quadrupling the size of its team to address not only career development, but also mentoring, leadership, innovation, creativity, entrepreneurship, family business and professional development.
The approach is paying off as 95 percent of the class of 2012 was either employed or attending graduate school six months after graduation, according to first destination survey respondents (78 percent of the student body).
importance of utilizing their entire college experience – and not waiting until their senior year.
As the name of the office communicates, students must first engage in their personal development and understand the importance of assessing and knowing their own interests, values, beliefs, personality, strengths and goals. Students are encouraged to study themselves and learn frameworks for self -understanding, to explore their personal interests and desires, and think about their values and purpose – asking "Who am I and who do I want to be?" before "What shall I do?" Students achieve this through assessments and mentoring conversations with their respected and influential "adult fans" such as faculty, parents, advisors, mentors, counselors and coaches.
Students also have the opportunity to earn course credit for this self-assessment work. With financial and staff support from the OPCD, the academic Department of Counseling offers a series of four College-to-Career Courses with the first focusing on self-discovery. Entitled "Personal Framework for Career Exploration," this course provides thought-provoking activities, readings and reflections to help students understand their personal strengths, interests, values and beliefs, which strengthen their abilities to make sound career decisions.
In the second course, "Options in the World of Work," students begin the crucial task of understanding the range of careers available and consider which careers will best align with their interests and needs. "Strategic Job Search" is the third course in which students learn about and create professional documents such as resumes and cover letters while learning how to network and interview effectively.
In the final course, "Professional and Life Skills," students consider the concept of a holistic life and learn the practical aspects of independent living such as personal budgeting, basic financial planning, choosing health and insurance benefits and understanding the dynamics and expectation of the 21st century global workplace.
Wake Forest is also innovative in its expansive use of LinkedIn in the career exploration process. Wake Forest students are taught and encouraged to learn about the world of work through proactive networking and researching. The OPCD has enabled students to utilize LinkedIn to connect with alumni, parents and employers to learn about various careers and industries. During counseling appointments, workshops, courses and instructional videos on the OPCD website, students learn how to create a LinkedIn profile and are taught how to utilize this resource to find informational interview contacts.
Additionally, the OPCD has created a LinkedIn group called the "Wake Forest Career Connectors" designed exclusively to connect Wake Forest students with helpful faculty, staff, parents, and alumni in different careers around the globe. Currently, there are more than 6,300 members in the group including approximately 2,000 students, 75 parents, 130 faculty and staff, and 4,100 alumni, and it continues to grow and evolve daily.
To supplement this digital approach, Wake Forest encourages in-person career exploration outside of campus as well. In new initiatives this year, the OPCD has taken students across the country on a series of career treks and set up job shadowing opportunities for students over fall, winter, and spring breaks. Partnering with Stanford University and the University of Chicago, Wake Forest offered career treks to students in Washington, D.C., Chicago, and San Francisco.
Fifteen students from each school attended each trek where they became familiar with companies in the respective cities, expanded their and were able to explore the city as a potential destination for themselves after college. With similar objectives in mind, Wake Forest also offered a job shadow day with companies in North Carolina for more than 60 students over fall and spring breaks. Wake Forest alumni have played a significant role in providing opportunities like these to students.
A signature feature of the Wake Forest model is its College-to-Career Community. The OPCD partnerswith faculty, advisors, parents and alumni to provide career guidance and support to Wake Forest students. This community complements the resources and programs offered by the OPCD and enables students to ask for and receive important information from the people they trust most. Over the last three years, the office has met with hundreds of faculty and partnered with every single academic department in the college to provide a career-elated event.
connect their academic disciplines to the world of work.
A final, yet crucial component of the OPCD's offerings has been the detailed, transparent reporting of student outcomes – by academic program and by major. All constituencies highly value this information for making decisions about major and career direction. Subsequently, the perception of the career office rises when these constituencies have data that reflects the mantra that a liberal arts education is highly valued.
Through this reporting, all community members begin to buy into this new approach as they see evidence that it is working and they can see the wide range of career outcomes of their own students.
NOTE: I will be holding a college workshop at the University of California, San Diego on June 22. You can learn more about the event and how to sign up by heading to my workshop page. Lynn O.

i got state for country id, but for city i am not getting.

        State:
        <select class="full-width">
          <option *ngIf='selectedCountry.id == 0' value="0">--Select--
</option>
          <option *ngFor="let state of states " value= {{state.id}}>
 {{state.name}}</option>
        </select>

        City:
        <select class="full-width">
          <option *ngIf='selectedCountry.id == 0' value="0">--Select--</option>
          <option *ngFor="let citi of cities " value= {{citi.id}}>{{citi.name}}</option>
        </select>

here is the code for getting country and state:
onSelect(countryid) {
this.states = this.dataServie.getStates().filter((item)=>
item.countryid == countryid);
//this.states = this._dataService.getStates().filter((item)=>
item.countryid == countryid);
}

here is country.ts code :

}

export class State {
constructor(public id: number, public countryid: number, public name:

here is the code for city.ts :
export class City {
constructor( public stateid: number, public name: string) { }
}

i am not getting how i call city of perticular state id
Could any one help me out.Thanks in advance.

A: You need to make a function that retrieves the cities and saves it in your controller. Similar to onSelect(countryid) you need to make a selectState(stateid) function that retrieves and assigns cities to this.cities.
Also city is not spelled citi.

A: You need to add this to the Template
State:
<select [(ngModel)]="selectedState.id" (change)="select($event.target.value)">
  <option *ngFor="#state of states " value= {{state.id}}>{{state.name}}</option>
</select>

city
<select>
  <option *ngFor="#city of cities " value= {{city.id}}>{{city.name}}</option>
</select>

Add this to component
  select(stateid){
    this.cities = this._dataService.getCities().filter((item)=> item.stateid == stateid);

  }

Russia's Deputy Prime Minister, Maxim Akimov, the Deputy Transport Minister, Venyamin Kondratyev, and Oleg Belozerov, the CEO of Russian Railways, officially opened the new 65-km Kozyrki-Severo rail section part of Krasnodar-Caucasus Railways.
"We have completed a key transport project for South Russia which enables us to solve the important task of ensuring the growth of freight handling volumes at Russia's sea ports," Maxim Akimov said.
The new Kozyrki-Severo rail section is a fully electrified double-track railway line which connects the Volga region with ports on the shores of the Azov and Black Seas. The section enables the freight transit trains that previously passed through Krasnodar to bypass the city, thus improving the transport and environmental situation in the capital of the Kuban region in southern Russia. On the section that reduces freight delivery time by 10 hours, 154 pairs of trains will run.
"The railway line does not cross roads and motorways because we built 29 artificial structures, which enable us to deliver goods faster without creating transport problems for the population at large," noted the Company CEO and Chairman.
Works on the 65-km section were started in 2013 and included the construction of two new freight stations at Kirpili and Beyuzuzhyok and in 2017 active construction phase of the bypass around the Krasnodar railway hub on the Kozyrki-Grechanyai section commenced.
The construction of the Kozyrki – Grechanaya section required investment amounting to more than RUB 36 billion (USD 548 million) from the Russian federal budget and the RZD's own funds.
The commissioning of the bypass around the Krasnodar rail hub is just one part of a comprehensive project to develop approaches to the ports of the Azov-Black Sea basin. Implementation of this larger project began in 2007, and since then, about 900 km of new track has been built. Total investment so far has exceeded RUB 150 billion (USD 2.3 billion).
During 2019-2020, the project provides for the commissioning of another 200 km of track for various purposes, with a further investment of RUB 62.5 billion (USD 952 million) to complete the project.

L'amor confluent descriu un tipus de relacions personals pures amb caràcter obert i negociable. Anthony Giddens, sociòleg britànic, en el seu llibre The Transformation of Intimacy (1992), va utilitzar el terme relació pura per a definir les relacions de l'amor confluent. Aquestes relacions tenen en compte les necessitats i els interessos de cada individu, predominant davant l'esfera privada. També fomenten la igualtat sexual i emocional entre homes i dones. En aquell moment, la necessitat de les dones en complaure els seus propis desitjos va fer ressorgir tots aquests canvis que van facilitar la nova visió de la dona davant la societat. A partir d'aquest moment elles decidien el rumb de la seva vida en tots els àmbits. Així doncs, s'entén que aquest amor del segle XX s'allunya de l'amor etern i únic. L'amor confluent és una tendència més occidental, ja que en molts països orientals encara es duu a terme l'amor romàntic o patriarcal. En algunes comunitats asiàtiques del Regne Unit encara preval el matrimoni concertat entenent-lo més com una necessitat social on l'amor apareix amb el temps.

Contextualització
Aquest nou concepte d'amor va aparèixer en un moment de canvis en la societat. A finals dels anys 60, molts joves es van rebel·lar contra la societat burgesa, fet que va provocar una revolució, més coneguda com la Revolució de 1968. A mitjans dels s.XX, un moment en què el paper de la dona prenia importància, van sorgir els moviments feministes, que fomentaven la igualtat d'oportunitats i el reconeixement de la seva identitat com a dones. Aquests canvis van significar l'inici d'una nova visió de família, que s'allunyava del model patriarcal que regnava en aquell moment i que va perdurar anys després. Lligats a aquests moviments i a la revolució sexual, es comencen a sentir conceptes com "parelles obertes" o "swingers".

Orígens
L'amor confluent va sorgir a partir de la revolució sexual a mitjans dels s.xx. Aquesta revolució va suposar un canvi en la mentalitat pel que fa a la moral i al comportament sexual dels humans. Des d'aquest moment, va haver-hi un alliberament dels costums i es va replantejar l'amor romàntic que predominava fins aquell moment. L'aparició d'anticonceptius, la legalització dels divorcis, l'acceptació de la homosexualitat, els canvis en les famílies, la figura de la dona en l'àmbit públic, etc., van ser factors que van obligar a reflexionar sobre el model d'amor romàntic que existia en aquell moment. Cap a finals del s.XVIII, ja es començava a parlar d'una sexualitat plàstica, concepte utilitzat per Anthony Giddens i Ulrich Beck, que es defineix com la diferència entre el sexe per plaer i el sexe per reproduir(-se). Però no va ser fins a mitjans de l'edat moderna, amb l'aparició de la revolució sexual, que aquest concepte va prendre força i va portar canvis en la societat. Aquest fet va afavorir que la gent tingués una nova visió sobre l'amor.
