    “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.

  • 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.
