Two years ago she was working at Breathe Yoga studio as an operations lead and instructor. She loved her job but felt a tug to open her own studio. Initially, she looked into opening her own Breathe franchise. But the num- bers weren’t right, and she decided to part ways with Breathe and create her own brand. For a year and a half Griffo, 39, scoured Rochester for the right loca- tion. She came close to securing a spot a few times only to have her plans fall through. There were periods of dis- couragement, nonetheless she perse- vered. “All the times I wanted to quit, my husband was there putting the mirror in front of me saying ‘You can do more than you think,’” says Griffo. “He’s been Photo by Kate Melton such a great mentor and a wonderful Melissa Griffo partner.” Revolution Studio settled in at 439 membership for $88 per month. out there and if they’re making some- consent is always an ongoing conversa- Monroe Ave. and started welcoming She also incorporates food and drink thing and really want to put in the tion,” says Griffo. clients in January.

  • Quarantine Information for Simon Graduate Students
    Quarantine Information for Simon Graduate Students What is quarantine? Quarantine means staying in your house for the duration of a 14-day incubation period and monitoring yourself for any potential signs of infection. Quarantining means that you can’t go out—not to work, school, or public places. While it is vital to keep in touch with friends, significant others, and family via phone or text, it is not possible to spend any time with them during the 14 days. Who must quarantine? All graduate students arriving from hot spot states or from an international location should plan to quarantine for 14 days in their graduate housing space or their off-campus residence. Quarantine must be completed prior to coming on campus for any reasons. Please see the list of restricted states for a current list of the states designated as COVID-19 hot spots. Students traveling from these states will be required to quarantine for 14 days. Students arriving from international locations also are required to quarantine for 14 days, per CDC guidance. Students from states designated as hot spots who plan to arrive on campus for the start of the semester may quarantine on their own in the tri-state area (New York, New Jersey, Connecticut) or in any state not on the NYS list of restricted states for 14 days prior to their scheduled move-in date. When should I arrive in Rochester if I need to do a 14-day quarantine? If you wish to participate in person for Welcome Week starting August 17, you should start your quarantine by August 2.

  • City of Rochester Name: Raul Salinas Downtown Name: Center City District County: Monroe
    Rochester, NY Submission to the Downtown Revitalization Initiative 6/10/2016 Executive Summary The revitalization of downtown Rochester must engage and retain young adults as residents who want to live and work in cities. A recent Urban Land Institute and National League of Cities supported a study of downtown Rochester, NY identified an immediate need to re-activate the Genesee Riverfront and Main Street to target diverse young adults and bring vibrancy to the fronts of downtown buildings. Critical to re-activating Rochester’s downtown is giving the job to rebuild it to the people who need the work the most. Thanks to the efforts of the Governor’s Rochester Anti-Poverty Task Force and the local Rochester Monroe Anti-Poverty Initiative (RMAPI), the anti-poverty program pilot area is adjacent to Rochester’s downtown district. The program will provide employment supports (e.g. daycare and transportation) to stabilize families and connect them to Rochester’s downtown success. Rochester’s downtown district, the Center City District (CCD), is experiencing dramatic residential growth. Developers partnered with government to create new living spaces within iconic buildings. Despite the 1.7 million people visiting the district annually and record investment in downtown growing high tech firms, retail and walkable amenities do not support 18 hours of activity. Foot traffic by young adults connecting downtown living and work will bridge the gap between living and work that exists in downtown Rochester, NY. Young adults are drawn to an iconic city and will create the demand for first floor retail that will give jobs and stabilize neighborhoods.

To my Father, without whom all this would have been even more unlikely. iii Letter of Dedication from the Author The 9th of February 1994/XV This work is a history of the Kingdom of Talossa. Talossa is a community of people, most of whom live in or around Milwaukee's East Side, and who are engaged in what can only be described as fabled exploits--building an independent country (although we do reluctantly concede that we may not have attained very effective sovereignty). Talossans are having fun as Talossans by doing things which are reasonably similar to what other ("real") countries do, whether for reasons of tourist nostalgia, out of a lust for power, in pursuit of parody, or--yes--as nationbuilding. The hilarious pretence (or incipient subversion?) of having our own sovereign state on Milwaukee's East Side began on 26 December 1979, while I was in high school.

  • FINAL DECISION May 28, 2013 Government Records
    FINAL DECISION May 28, 2013 Government Records Council Meeting Katalin Gordon Complaint No. 2011-336 and 2011-337 Complainant v. City of Orange (Essex) Custodian of Record At the May 28, 2013 public meeting, the Government Records Council (“Council”) considered the May 21, 2013 Reconsideration Findings and Recommendations of the Executive Director and all related documentation submitted by the parties. The Council, by a majority vote, adopted the entirety of said findings and recommendations. The Council, therefore, finds that: 1. The Complainant has failed to establish in her request for reconsideration of the Council’s March 22, 2013 Interim Order that: 1) the Council’s decision is based upon a “palpably incorrect or irrational basis;” or 2) it is obvious that the Council did not consider the significance of probative, competent evidence, and has failed to show that the Council acted arbitrarily, capriciously or unreasonably. The Complainant failed to present any evidence which was not available at the time of the Council’s adjudication which would change the substance of the Council’s decision. Thus, the Complainant’s request for reconsideration is denied. Cummings v. Bahr, 295 N.J. Super. 374 (App. Div. 1996); D'Atria v. D'Atria, 242 N.J. Super. 392 (Ch.
