Podcasts about continuums

In today's episode of Roger That, I'm sharing with you all more about CHIP – which stands for Coalition of Homelessness Intervention and Prevention. CHIP mobilizes, advocates, and empowers community collaboration toward ending homelessness and fosters an effective system of homelessness prevention and intervention in the greater Indianapolis area. One effort CHIP leads is the Point In Time Count – also known as the PIT Count. The PIT Count is an annual survey of homeless people in the United States conducted by local agencies called Continuums of Care on behalf of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. This count also includes counting how many of the homeless are veterans – which is where HVAF comes in. So today, we are going to be talking all things CHIP and PIT Count with who better than CHIP's Executive Director, Dr. Chelsea Haring-Cozzi.   SHOW NOTES: Podcast questions? Topic ideas?

"As of January 2019, California had an estimated 151,278 experiencing homelessness on any given day, as reported by Continuums of Care to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Of that Total, 7,044 were family households, 10,980 were Veterans, 11,993 were unaccompanied young adults (aged 18-24), and 41,557 were individuals experiencing chronic homelessness. Public school data reported to the U.S. Department of Education during the 2017-2018 school year shows that an estimated 263,058 public school students experienced homelessness over the course of the year. Of that total, 10,407 students were unsheltered, 17,299 were in shelters, 13,713 were in hotels/motels, and 221,639 were doubled up"   -Taken from the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness   These pre pandemic numbers should serve to be a staggering reminder that even before the Earth stood still with the pandemic, the real economy was in shambles.  All over the San Francisco Bay Area homeless encampments are popping up in areas that it would've been unheard of to see them.  The reality becomes all too real as we step closer to the end of the rent moratorium (some cities have already started evicting people)and more people will be forced out to the streets.     There is no real federal plan to help people that have lost jobs and healthcare due to COVID-19.  A CARES Act that has bailed out the 1% to the tune of BILLIONS made during the pandemic, while the most vulnerable of us are left to fend for ourselves.  While congress and the senate fight over giving or not giving Americans $2,000, real people have been on the ground doing incredible work to help this vulnerable population.     Kelvin Martinez works with the unhoused population in Southern California and is a mental health worker.  A therapist by trade, he has been out in the streets doing what he can to not only bring attention to the plight of the unhoused, but also to help people.  In this episode we talk about the real efforts on the ground to make a difference.     Follow Kelvin on Twitter: @AlmostKelvin   Theme song music creator: https://aetherghul.bandcamp.com/album/the-hanged-witch   Thank you guys again for taking the time to check this out.  We appreciate each and everyone of you.  If you have the means, and you feel so inclined, BECOME A PATRON!

Salmos 119:109-112 (Reina-Valera Actualizada 2015) De continuo está mi vida en peligro, pero no me olvido de tu ley. Los impíos me pusieron trampa, pero no me desvié de tus ordenanzas. Tus testimonios son mi heredad para siempre porque ellos son el gozo de mi corazón. He inclinado mi corazón para poner por obra tus leyes de continuo y hasta el fin.

Description: Cole Huffman | Isaiah 58

Dear Family and Friends, This is Rachel Steinman and in less than three months we will be in a new decade- The Roaring 20’s. So let’s seize the day and make bold resolutions. One of my resolutions is to connect with you. It’s why I’ll be podcasting weekly. And it’s why I want to invite you to PLESE JOIN MY PRIVATE FACEBOOK GROUP- “Dear Family Members.” (Link in bottom of show notes.) I’ve been saying a lot lately how I could literally walk up to anyone on the street or knock on any front door and whomever I ended up speaking with would have some type of family issue or a family secret they were ashamed of. I'm working hard to create mental health and get the message out by: *Attending WerkIt, a Podcasting Bootcamp put on by the Annenberg Foundation. It was free of charge and meant to encourage a diverse population of women. A brave woman got up to speak about the difficulty of recording in the "hood " (her words) with helicopters, sirens, and dogs barking all around her. I realized her voice needed to be heard, and podcasting is such an incredible platform to get it out there.  We also discussed mixing boards, advertising, production and so much more. I realized how much I have learned since beginning this podcasting journey.  *Sharing my experiences of feeling vulnerable and brave at the same time when I went into a middle school in Burbank and spoke to kids and their parents about the NAMI Ending the Silence Program. You know when something just feels right? Well, this felt right. I felt like I had a lot to offer because I’m a teacher who has taught kindergarten through sixth grade, a mother of two thriving teenagers whom I will take some credit for, and I’ve become a mental health advocate, researching the latest news in addition to owning my personal family stories. Being able to answer the kids' and their parents' questions with knowledge and knowing I might change the trajectory of a young person’s life felt really great. *Attending UCLA’s Friends of Semel’s Open Mind screening of BEDLAM, the first documentary to explore the crisis in the care of people with severe mental illness in this country. It premiered at Sundance in 2019 to a standing ovation. The documentarian was made by Dr. Paul Rosenberg, a psychiatrist, and filmmaker who went into psych wards, prisons and into the tent cities of the homeless on the streets of Los Angeles. California is the epicenter of the homeless crisis and prisons are being used to house many people who used to be held in psych wards, or as they used to be called Insane Asylums. Learning about the history and politics of tearing down mental hospitals to be replaced by prisons was fascinating and sad. Dr. Rosenberg was joined by a panel of psychiatry royalty for an incredible discussion. What made the doctor’s story so powerful was it was personal. His family hid the shame and stigma of his sister’s schizophrenia. I walked away feeling like my goal of discussing mental health in families was even more important. We as a society have to shine a light on our bias’ against mental illness. By educating our young about mental health, we can prevent self-medication and substance abuse, and keep our youth off the streets. It really matters because 50-75% of youth in the juvenile justice system experience a mental health condition. I  feel hopeful because we are beginning to shift the paradigm as our youth begin to see their mental health as a priority and schools are beginning to see the value in teaching mindfulness starting at a young age. The good news is we CAN break the generational trauma and curses. So when someone says, “It runs in the family,” you say, “This is where it runs out.” Sincerely, Rachel        SHOW NOTE LINKS:   PLEASE JOIN: ***Dear Family Members, Private Facebook Group- CLICK THE "VISIT GROUP" BUTTON    *Rachel's YouTube Video of this Conversation- Please Subscribe   *WerkIt Podcast Festival   *Second Home Work Space in Hollywood   *NAMI's Ending the Silence Program   *Sundance Documentary- Bedlam   *Bedlam- the Book   *The Friends of the Semel Institute of Neuroscience and Human Behavior at UCLA   *Rachel's Essay- Homelessness is More Than Lesshomeness   Correction on stats- *As of January 2018, California had an estimated 129,972 experiencing homelessness on any given day, as reported by Continuums of Care to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). *According to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development's Annual Homeless Assessment Report, as of 2018 there were around 553,000 homeless people in the United States on a given night or 0.17% of the population.   CONNECT WITH US! *Dear Family, the Podcast Page *Write Now Rachel Website *Rachel's Blog Page- @Medium *Rachel Steinman's Twitter *Dear Family, and Write Now Rachel's Facebook Page *Dear Family, and Write Now Rachel's Instagram Page   PLEASE JOIN: ***Dear Family Members, the Private Facebook Group   WAYS TO HELP THE PODCAST: *Leave a 5-Star Review.  *Share with your Dear Friends and Family,. ***Listen and Subscribe via iTunes!!!  ***Listen and Subscribe via Stitcher!!! ***Listen and Subscribe via Spotify!!!   Thank you!

On the latest Geek Confidential podcast Luke Kerr is joined by Melodie Aikels, Casie Eckholm, Carly Silver and Jennifer Brody, the author of The 13th Continuum, in Exploring Female Geekdom. The women share what being a geek means to them, who inspired their geekdom and the importance of finding the right community or tribe to fit into. Who are the best representations of geek female characters in TV in film? Which TV and film female characters frustrate and disappoint? Why do authors and TV and film writers create fantastic strong women and then, often, change much of what we love about them because of a man? How do writers avoid this trap? Why is it so hard for female super hero icons to get their own blockbusters when characters like Thor, Captain America, The Hulk, Wolverine, Batman, Superman, Aquaman and The Flash get solo titles? How could the Wonder Woman movie change Hollywood's resistance to female led super hero films? Sexism takes place in front of the screens, behind-the-scenes, in gaming and online. Casie shares how she's dealt with sexism while gaming, trolls and how players who see it happening to others can step up. She also talks about how and why female gamers gravitate to certain games, but only have a small representation in the most popular gaming genres like first person shooters and MMOs. The discussion then turns to sexism in pay inequity. Jennifer talks about her experience working in the film industry and what women face developing and producing projects that men may not. Melodie shares her ideas for projects We Do it Together, a non-profit production company whose emphasis is on female empowerment in TV, film and other media, could produce. Carly shares her perspective, as an assistant editor at Harlequin, on the need for more diversity in publishing and provides insight into how certain genders dominate certain genres. Jennifer follows up with her thoughts, from an author's perspective, on the industry and how female and geek creators are being hurt by the New York Times' decision to eliminate Best Seller lists like graphic novel/manga, mass market paperback and middle grade e-book and young adult e-book lists. Casie then dives into pay inequity in e-sports and streaming. In 2015 the highest paid male player earned $1.9 million in prize money, but female e-sports players earning nothing close. Women have found success and large audiences on streaming platforms like YouTube and Twitch, but how do they make their presence felt in e-sports? Luke wraps the Exploring Female Geekdom episode by getting Melodie, Casie, Carly and Jennifer's final thoughts on female geekdom.

Return of the Continuums (Turner Publishing) One thousand years after a cataclysmic event leaves humanity on the brink of extinction, the descendants of the chosen survivors take refuge in thirteen contingency shelters buried deep underground, at the bottom of the ocean, and in the far reaches of outer space. In the underwater 13th Continuum, sixteen-year-old Myra Jackson has heard rumors and whisperings all her life of a magical place called "The Surface” where people could breathe fresh air, feel the warmth of something called sunlight on their skin, and see things known as stars and trees and mountains. Myra has never dared to ask whether the stories are true, since the act of speaking such words aloud is an offense punishable by death. But after she discovers that the air supply aboard her underwater colony is running out, she realizes that her only hope for survival is to find this mysterious place. To get there, she must first recover the only guide to the Surface—the Beacon, an ancient device that also connects her to Captain Aero Wright, a dashing young soldier from one of the only remaining space colonies. With the fate of all humankind depending on them, Myra and Aero must escape the tyrannical forces that rule their colonies, journey through the black depths of the ocean and across the cold void of space, to find each other on the Surface that their ancestors once called home.   Praise for The 13th Continuum "Likeable characters, an intricate world, and imaginative settings combine to make a satisfying young-adult read in Jennifer Brody’s Return of the Continuums, the second book of the dystopian Continuum series."--Foreword Reviews "Non-stop excitement and strong world-building combine to make The 13th Continuum a fantastic read for science fiction and dystopian fans alike. The story sucked me in from the very beginning, and had me pulling for Myra and Aero to break free from their very different, but equally oppressive governments. Eagerly awaiting the next in this series!" ―Rysa Walker, author of The Chronos Files "A fascinating premise and compulsively readable debut. It totally sucked me in." - Robin Talley, author of Lies We Tell Ourselves "I tore through Jennifer Brody's The 13th Continuum at light speed. This fresh, fast-paced novel featuring a post-doom Earth will hook readers with its likable characters and thrilling stakes.
