  • To Our Valued Arcata Community Pool (ACP) Season Pass Holders
    To Our Valued Arcata Community Pool (ACP) Season Pass Holders We closed the pool on November 17 as California slipped into the red and then the purple tier designations for COVID spread. These tiers mandated that indoor pools be closed for public use. Humboldt County progressed to the orange tier on April 6th which finally allows facilities such as ours to reopen! The approved Operational Plan has allowed the pool to reopen, but it also has a number of restrictions in place to promote a safe environment for customers and staff. Limited numbers of people in the facility, restrictions on group use, enhanced cleaning procedures are all examples of these restrictions. Aspects of these social distancing measures, additional operational costs and the nearly five‐month closure has created significant operational and financial challenges for the pool. For Season Pass holders we welcome you back to the pool and would like to inform you on how we are going to work with annual passes going forward. For 2020 Passes: 1. We will calculate a credit or a refund, based on you time lost during the most recent closure. This amount will include all days starting on the closure date in November up to the date the pass would have expired in 2021 2. You have three options for this amount. a. We can issue you a credit towards a new 2021 pass. b. A refund can be issued. Once requested a check will be sent to your physical address. This will take up to three weeks to process. c. You can donate this amount if you would like to help the pool through this unprecedented financial challenge.

    Université de Montréal Survivance 101 : Community ou l’art de traverser la mutation du paysage télévisuel contemporain Par Frédérique Khazoom Département d’histoire de l’art et d’études cinématographiques, Université de Montréal, Faculté des arts et des sciences Mémoire présenté en vue de l’obtention du grade de Maîtrise ès arts en Maîtrise en cinéma, option Cheminement international Décembre 2019 © Frédérique Khazoom, 2019 Université de Montréal Département d’histoire de l’art et d’études cinématographiques Ce mémoire intitulé Survivance 101 : Community ou l’art de traverser la mutation du paysage télévisuel contemporain Présenté par Frédérique Khazoom A été évalué par un jury composé des personnes suivantes Zaira Zarza Président-rapporteur Marta Boni Directeur de recherche Stéfany Boisvert Membre du jury Résumé Lors des années 2000, le paysage télévisuel américain a été profondément bouleversé par l’arrivée d’Internet. Que ce soit dans sa production, sa création ou sa réception, l’évolution rapide des technologies numériques et l’apparition des nouveaux médias ont contraint l’industrie télévisuelle à changer, parfois contre son gré. C’est le cas de la chaîne généraliste américaine NBC, pour qui cette période de transition a été particulièrement difficile à traverser. Au cœur de ce moment charnière dans l’histoire de la télévision aux États-Unis, la sitcom Community (NBC, 2009- 2014; Yahoo!Screen, 2015) incarne et témoigne bien de différentes transformations amenées par cette convergence entre Internet et la télévision et des conséquences de cette dernière dans l’industrie télévisuelle. L’observation du parcours tumultueux de la comédie de situation ayant débuté sur les ondes de NBC dans le cadre de sa programmation Must-See TV, entre 2009 et 2014, avant de se terminer sur le service par contournement Yahoo! Screen, en 2015, permet de constater que Community est un objet télévisuel qui a constamment cherché à s’adapter à un média en pleine mutation.

  • Empathy in Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Books, Mirrored in Illustrations By
    Journal of Literature and Art Studies, January 2018, Vol. 8, No. 1, 1-31 doi: 10.17265/2159-5836/2018.01.001 D DAVID PUBLISHING Empathy in Rudyard Kipling’s Jungle Books, Mirrored in Illustrations by John Lockwood Kipling and Aldren Watson Norman Arthur Fischer Kent State University (Retired), Kent, Ohio, USA Rudyard Kipling’s Jungle Books depict empathy in the animal and animal-human world, and the illustrations of Rudyard’s father, John Lockwood Kipling, and the American artist and prolific illustrator, Aldren Watson, help depict that empathy. Lockwood Kipling was both influence on and interpreter of the Jungle Books, as shown above all in the development from his Beast and Man in India of 1891 through his illustrations for the 1894 Jungle Book, and 1895 Second Jungle Book, to his illustrations that appear in the rearranged stories of The Jungle Book, and Second Jungle Book in the 1897 Scribners Outward Bound (O/B) editions. A variation on Lockwood’s O/B mode of Jungle Books illustrations is found in Watson’s illustrations for the 1948 Doubleday edition, Jungle Books, which is the title I will use throughout.1 Part One details the influence of two animal empathy writers, Lockwood Kipling and Ernest Thompson Seton, on the Jungle Books. Part Two uses recent philosophical studies of empathy in the animal and human relationship. Part Three applies a German philosophy of art history to the new look of the O/B and Doubleday Jungle Books. Part Four interprets selected Jungle Books stories in the light of Parts one, two and three.

  • Msed 473 | Teached 373 Topics in High School Math: Statistics And
    MSEd 473 | TeachEd 373 Topics in High School Math: Statistics and Probability Northwestern University School of Education and Social Policy Spring 2018 Thursdays 6:00 – 9:00 pm Annenberg 317 James Lynn [email protected] Course Description Statistics and probability have played an increasingly important role in science, industry, health, and business. The fields of data science and decision analytics, for example, are exploding. These disciplines also touch most peoples’ everyday lives, as there is a growing need for people to interpret data, evaluate risk, weigh trade-offs, and make predictions about the future. In response to the ever-increasing importance of statistics and probability in today’s world, the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) has substantially elevated the status of these mathematical content areas in K-12 mathematics. As a result of these realities, the Conference Board of the Mathematical Sciences (CBMS) has advocated for a “new and improved” college-level statistics and probability course for aspiring teachers: “Given the importance of statistics in most people’s daily life, given future teachers’ minimal exposure in high school currently to the CCSS statistics and probability topics, and given the holes that remain after the typical introductory college statistics course and upper-division probability-statistics course, there is a strong argument that future teachers merit their own upper-level stats-prob course.” This course aims to be the probability-statistics course that the CBMS envisions—one that effectively prepares teachers to help middle school and high school students “learn with understanding” the fundamentally important statistics and probability concepts and skills that are needed for today’s world and that are articulated in the CCSS standards.

  • Susan Steinberg RE: Pilot Project: Residential Eating Disorders
    Behavioral Health Administration Aliya Jones, M.D., MBA Deputy Secretary Behavioral Health 55 Wade Ave., Dix Bldg., SGHC Catonsville, MD 21228 TO: MABHA FROM: Susan Steinberg RE: Pilot Project: Residential Eating Disorders Program for adults and/or minors Date: June 4, 2021 The Behavioral Health Program is issuing a “Request for Proposals” for Residential Eating Disorders Programs to serve adults and/or minors. Background: Over the past couple of years, BHA has received inquiries from entities seeking to establish a residential eating disorder program for children & adolescents and asked for advice regarding how to license such a program. The possible licensure categories are a residential treatment center (RTC), or a therapeutic group home (TGH). RTCs requires a Certificate of Need, a schooling component and maybe a higher level of care that the program did not want to meet. By statute, a TGH must be owned by a non-profit. Also, there is the question of whether a TGH provides the appropriate level of care. OHCQ has a category called Limited Private Inpatient Facility, but by regulations that is limited to adults. Thus, no category of licensure fits the model of care that these private companies wish to establish in Maryland. BHA regulations state that the Department may exempt a program from licensure requirements if the program is a pilot project and the program demonstrates to the Department that it is subject to contractual provisions, conditions of grant awards, or other requirements that are comparable to the regulations in COMAR 10.63. Therefore, to assist these providers, BHA has established a pilot project for residential eating disorder programs.
