But the apology did not come from Jack- son Memorial Hospital in Florida, where Pond lay dying from a brain aneurysm suffered Feb. 18, 2007, hours after the family boarded the R Family Cruise. Instead, President Barack Obama said those words to Langbehn in a phone call April 15, 2010, when he phoned her in Olym- pia, Wash., from Air Force One, ironically while it circled over Miami, where Jackson Memorial is Chicago located. Obama called Langbehn to explain a memo he Red Stars page 22 had signed that day to address discrimination LGBT families face from healthcare facilities.

  • To Whom It May Concern: My Name Is Jennifer Martucci, and I Believe I'm
    Jennifer Martucci • http://jenmartucci.wordpress.com • [email protected] • 206.395.8536 To Whom It May Concern: My name is Jennifer Martucci, and I believe I’m the perfect candidate for an Office Production Assistant position. I thrive in active, ever-changing environments and I’m a creative and analytical thinker, enabling me to problem-solve in high stress situations. I have been passionate about filmmaking and television production for years, and my education at Savannah College of Art and Design has given me an excellent foundation for working in this industry. My background in teaching and sales has honed my strong communication and organizational skills, and my work with robotics organizations has given me valuable production experience with putting on live events for a large audience. I am very detail-oriented and excel at taking pieces of information and fitting them into a much bigger picture. - As a Judge Advisor Assistant for FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) competitions I managed information and people on a strict schedule. In this key volunteer position I was responsible for tracking and communicating detailed scoring data, and liaising between the organizers, teams, and judges about the schedule for events hosting between two and four thousand people. - While attending Savannah College of Art and Design, I wrote and directed two short films that were granted entry into film festivals. As the creative leader of Eulogy, a narrative film I wrote, directed, and produced, I secured locations and set pieces and managed schedules for crew and talent. When none of my scheduled background showed, I was able to source new background on an hour’s notice and creatively restructured shots to produce an even better result.

  • The Structure of Musical Preferences: a Five-Factor Model
    Journal of Personality and Social Psychology © 2011 American Psychological Association 2011, Vol. 100, No. 6, 1139–1157 0022-3514/11/$12.00 DOI: 10.1037/a0022406 The Structure of Musical Preferences: A Five-Factor Model Peter J. Rentfrow Lewis R. Goldberg University of Cambridge Oregon Research Institute, Eugene, Oregon Daniel J. Levitin McGill University Music is a cross-cultural universal, a ubiquitous activity found in every known human culture. Individ- uals demonstrate manifestly different preferences in music, and yet relatively little is known about the underlying structure of those preferences. Here, we introduce a model of musical preferences based on listeners’ affective reactions to excerpts of music from a wide variety of musical genres. The findings from 3 independent studies converged to suggest that there exists a latent 5-factor structure underlying music preferences that is genre free and reflects primarily emotional/affective responses to music. We have interpreted and labeled these factors as (a) a Mellow factor comprising smooth and relaxing styles; (b) an Unpretentious factor comprising a variety of different styles of sincere and rootsy music such as is often found in country and singer–songwriter genres; (c) a Sophisticated factor that includes classical, operatic, world, and jazz; (d) an Intense factor defined by loud, forceful, and energetic music; and (e) a Contemporary factor defined largely by rhythmic and percussive music, such as is found in rap, funk, and acid jazz. The findings from a fourth study suggest that preferences for the MUSIC factors are affected by both the social and the auditory characteristics of the music. Keywords: music, preferences, individual differences, factor analysis Music is everywhere one goes.
