    “Sensing Time” Yasmina Chavez Electronic Integrated Arts MFA 2016 Thesis School of Art and Design - NYSCC at Alfred University Thesis Exhibit: April 9, 2016 Committee Members: Peer Bode (Chair), Barbara Lattanzi, Joseph Scheer Introduction In Las Vegas, Nevada, where I’m from, there are three different coexisting strata of time: casinos or casino environments, the regular 24-hour clock calendar day society, and the desert. The casino environment consists of any place with gambling facilities. This includes any place with a gambling license from the major touristic casinos like the MGM to your neighborhood grocery stores or even, on your way out of the city, the airport. The casino environment furnishes the experience of timelessness, which is activated through an infinitely looping hand action. Pushing buttons or pulling levers (slot machine), holding, flicking or arranging cards (table games), and rolling or throwing dice (roulette table) are some examples of this looping hand action. The action holds the gambler in place until they run out of money, win, or something from 24-hour calendar day society pulls them away. Both the casino environment and the 24-hour calendar day society weave in and out of each other like soap bubbles in the wind. These two bubbles of time exist inside a larger bubble – the desert, which visibly surrounds the city a full 360 degrees. It is not only visible everywhere, but it is also felt through the tremendous heat and dry air that it breathes. On some of the hottest days everything seems to pause, even the air. Time in the desert is experienced on a massive scale, as if the land, which exudes a sense of finality, an end of calendar-time and eternality of both, had swallowed time.

Skepticism is the deadly enemy of progress and self-development. You might as well lay this book aside and stop right here as to approach this lesson with the feeling that it was written by some long- haired theorist who had never tested the principles upon which the lesson is based. Surely this is no age for the skeptic, because it is an age in which we have seen more of Nature's laws uncovered and harnessed than had been discovered in all past history of the human race. Within three decades we have witnessed the mastery of the air; we have explored the ocean; we have all but annihilated - 5 - distances on the earth; we have harnessed the lightning and made it turn the wheels of industry; we have made seven blades of grass grow where but one grew before; we have instantaneous communication between the nations of the world.

  • Constitutional Culture Or Ordinary Politics: a Reply to Reva Siegel
    Constitutional Culture or Ordinary Politics: A Reply to Reva Siegel Robin Westt Reva Siegel's lecture, Constitutional Culture, Social Movement Conflict and Constitutional Change: The Case of the de Facto ERA,1 ex- plores the interaction between the courts and social movements in creating constitutional meaning. In the primary part of this response I focus my comments on Siegel's three major contributions: First, the historical expla- nation of the source of the Court's authority in the development of the so- called defacto ERA;2 second, the articulation of a general, jurisprudential thesis regarding social contestation as a source of constitutional authority apart from text, history, and principle;3 and third, the quasi-sociological descriptive account of the form social contest must take to be juris genera- tive.4 I find Siegel's historical interpretation, jurisprudential thesis, and so- ciological analysis compelling, and in this response I offer thoughts on how Siegel's basic thesis might be expanded and strengthened. The subsequent part of this response raises some questions and doubts about Siegel's underlying invitation in this lecture: an invitation to social activists, whether or not legally trained, to participate more frequently and self-consciously in the umbrella of social processes commonly referred to as "popular constitutionalism."5 While we should worry-as the popular Copyright © 2006 California Law Review, Inc.

    Episode 63: LOSE WEIGHT This is the Become an Unstoppable Woman podcast with Lindsay Preston Episode 63, Lose Weight. [music] Welcome to the Become An Unstoppable Woman podcast, the show for goal-getting, fear-facing women for kicking ass by creating change. I'm your host, Lindsay Preston. I'm a wife, mom of two, and a multi-certified life coach to women all over the world. I've lived through enough in life to know that easier doesn't always equate to better. We can't fear the fire, we must learn to become it. On this show, I'll teach you how to do just that. Join me as I challenge you to become even more of the strong, resilient, and powerful woman you were meant to be. Let's do this. [music] Hey there, Miss Unstoppable. Happy to have you for this episode about losing weight. Believe it or not, I have never talked about losing weight directly in any of my podcasts, either this one or my former one Life Lovers Radio and any of my content and my courses directly. I'm just getting more and more people who are coming to me saying, "Lindsay, part of coaching is why I want to lose weight. That's one of my big goals," so I am taking these goals on and I'm helping clients make it happen. Now, I must admit weight loss isn't something I'm super passionate about. It's not something I've overly struggled with in my life. I am just one of those people, you may hate me, but I'm just pretty naturally thin.

    June 1, 2020 County and Workforce Director Call COVID-19 Response Efforts Since May 26 • I will as usual get started with some high-level items, then move into programmatic areas, and then we’ll go beyond with our questions. • I know we all have been paying close attention to the events of the last few days. Now, more than ever, our work is critical to the Ohioans we serve. As an agency, we have always championed the cause of those in need, and we cannot turn away from the collective pain that our nation is experiencing. Black and brown people are in despair over the historical and present impacts of institutionalized racism. Over 100,000 people have lost their lives to an incurable disease. Millions are unemployed and experiencing food insecurity. The past 60 days have upended the entire fabric of our lives. We cannot let this crisis go to waste. o Many people have asked me what they can do to help. Global solutions to our most complex challenges begin at the individual level. I’m proud to lead an agency that has always championed this work, and I’m proud to work shoulder to shoulder with all of you as you advance our mission at the local level. We will continue pressing onward. Through this pain, there can be growth. We would be wasting this moment if we did not come out better on the other side. That is my hope and expectation, at least within the sphere of influence that I am able to exert. o As you may know, Governor DeWine activated the National Guard in both Columbus and Cleveland over the weekend.

This is clearly a picture taken for a tourism brochure, It certainly hasn’t looked this way since I’ve been here! But I know better… I am a native of Washington, born on the sunny side of the state in Spokane This is more likely how the city will look while we’re here. It rains at least 50% of the time in Seattle. That doesn’t necessarily mean the other 50% is sunny! After all, Seattle’s nickname is the Emerald City… … which of course comes from how green everything is because of the rain— the name has no connection to the Wizard of Oz. Unless you consider this massive Microsoft campus … is this Seattle’s emerald city? I would like to especially thank Microsoft and Nintendo for hosting this conference. Brian Honey and Charles Nishida—first-time conference hosts—have put together a great program that will certainly help us become stronger leaders as we adjust to the New Normal. There are so many facets to what each of us might define as the New Normal. A couple of examples were in the recent issue of E-visions. One was the expectation to be at work 24/7, and another was our planned ROWE pilot project as one way to improve productivity and employee satisfaction within that expectation.

Welcome to the Redefining Health & Wellness podcast. I'm your host, Shohreh Davoodi. I'm a certified intuitive eating counselor and a certified personal trainer. I help people improve their relationships with exercise, food and their bodies so they can ditch diet culture for good and do what feels right for them. Through this podcast, I want to give you the tools to redefine what health and wellness mean to you by exposing myths and misconceptions, delving into all the areas of health that often get ignored, and reminding you that health and wellness are not moral obligations. Are you ready? Let's fuck some shit up. Shohreh: Well hello there my health and wellness kings, queens, and everything in-betweens.
