Courses that would be offered in the program include Filmmaking I, Filmmaking II, Cinematic Non-Fiction, 2D Animation and Film Production Fundamentals. Marshall students and graduates have already worked on several of the projects in the state, including doing some music videos with country star Brad Paisley and working on the ABC television show “What Would You Do?” hosted by John Quiñones, according to Lavender.

For many, it's easy to ignore the cold by turning up the heat inside, but not everyone has that ability. That's why the West Virginia Department of Human Services offers the Low Income Energy Assistance Program to residents. The LIEAP program helps low-income families support their home heating and cooling needs in different ways, according to Kent Nowviskie, Deputy Commissioner for Programs and Policy in the Bureau for Family Assistance. LIEAP is federally funded through a grant. Eligible households must be at 60 percent or lower of the state median income.

Dopo i processi, le attività del Comitato “8 ottobre per non dimenticare” si sono concentrate su come far migliorare le misure di sicurezza negli aeroporti e come implementare la Family Assistance, cioè la gestione organizzativa e psicologica dei famigliari delle vittime in un contesto di emergenza. Grazie al suo impegno, dopo l'incidente di Linate sono state cambiate le normative di sicurezza, non soltanto negli scali italiani, ma anche in quelli europei, per cui è stato creato uno standard di gestione delle piste unico per tutti gli aeroporti.Nel frattempo anche la psicologia dell'emergenza ha continuato a mettere a punto protocolli terapeutici sempre più evoluti per affrontare l'emergenza e la vita dopo un trauma. In questo modo, la memoria di ciò che è avvenuto e di chi non c'è più non si limita solo a celebrare, ma riesce ad avere una funzione educativa e un ruolo attivo nel promuovere il cambiamento.

I had the pleasure of doing a podcast with Elizabeth Andrade, CEO of Family Assistance Ministries, talking about homelessness and food insecurity and pockets of poverty within South Orange County. Elizabeth describes her experience as CEO leading an organization that responded to a true crisis in 2020 as a result of COVID-19 and how they dealt with it, and described where the organization is today helping to acknowledge and educate individuals through State of the Family once a month. Elizabeth describes for us how the causes of homelessness for families is very different from homelessness for the individual. At the end of the podcast she shares how we can solve homelessness in our own community.

California Legislature Wants to Make Application Fraud a Crime https://zalma.com/blog Application fraud in California is only recognized with regard to workers' compensation policies. The proposed new statute provides it will be a crime for any fraud in any insurance application. Why it's Difficult to Fire a Government Employee Insurance Fraud Conviction Requires Dismissal of Government Employee After Conviction for Fraud State Employee Demands Her Job Fatu Rimbert appealed from a November 12, 2019 final administrative decision of the Civil Service Commission (Commission) affirming her removal as a family service worker for the County of Essex (County), Department of Citizen Services, Division of Family Assistance and Benefits (DFAB). In The Matter of Fatu Rimbert, Essex County Department of Citizen Services, No. A-1684-19, Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate Division (August 18, 2021) was asked to reinstate the job from which she was fired. Insurer's Report to Insurance Fraud Authorities Is Privileged It Is Not Defamation to Report a Suspected Fraud to The State Cholla Bay Hotel Group LLC; CBHG Management S.A. DE C.V.; Desert Springs Equestrian Center LLC (“DSEC”); and Lorilei Peters (collectively “CBHG”) appealed from the trial court's grant of summary judgment in favor of Farm Bureau Financial Services, its “affiliate,” Western Agricultural Insurance Company, and Paul Cully (collectively “Farm Bureau”), and the ultimate dismissal of its claims. In CBHG Management, S.A. de C.V., a foreign corporation; Cholla Bay Hotel Group, an Arizona corporation; Desert Springs Equestrian Center, LLC, an Arizona limited liability company; and Lorilei Peters, in her individual capacity v. Farm Bureau Financial Services, a foreign corporation, and Paul Cully, No. 2 CA-CV 2020-0111, Court of Appeals of Arizona, Second Division (August 6, 2021) the Court of Appeals was asked to reverse the trial court's judgment. The “Chutzpah” of Insurance Fraud Perpetrators After Sentencing Defendant Attempts to Change His Plea of Guilty It takes a massive amount of unmitigated gall (chutzpah) to file an appeal of a conviction and sentencing after pleading guilty with knowledge and understanding but insurance fraud perpetrators seem to have no trouble doing so rather than pay restitution or serve probation; a classic case of the dog biting the hand that feeds him.

Government agencies work hard to help the people they serve, whether it’s helping individuals find jobs or improve family well-being. But despite best efforts, some participants still don’t succeed. What are some ways government agencies can improve services and ensure participants remain on the right track? In this episode, Kate Gualtieri, MDRC’s Director of Strategy, talks with MDRC Senior Fellow Melissa Wavelet, the former director of the Office of Performance and Strategic Outcomes in the Colorado Department of Human Services, about her experience implementing a variety of data-driven strategies that help city and state government agencies meet their goals and improve the lives of the people they serve.

Recorded on October 24, 2017 How old are entitlement programs in the United States? Entitlement programs are as old as the Republic, according to John Cogan, former deputy director of the US Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and a Hoover Institution senior fellow. Cogan joins Peter Robinson to discuss his latest book, The High Cost of Good Intentions,on the necessity for entitlement reform in the United States. Currently there are a bevy of entitlement programs in the United States, each costing a large percentage of the federal budget each year. These programs are open-ended and hard to estimate into the budget because people with the average number of benefits vary greatly from year to year. These programs have become complex and bloated over the many years since they’ve been instated and are in dire need of reform. According to John Cogan, entitlement programs such as pensions, Medicaid, and Social Security have been a part of US history since the Revolutionary War when Congress first created pensions for all the soldiers who had served the Republic during the war. Congress then went on to expand entitlement programs after the Civil War to include soldiers who had fought in the war. Entitlements remained restricted to only those who had served the Republic until the New Deal when entitlements were extended to all citizens above a certain age (Social Security). This was the first time that entitlements were given to citizens who had not served. This was also the first time that entitlements were granted to everyone until the end of time.

Cogan is an expert in domestic policy. His current research is focused on US budget and fiscal policy, federal entitlement programs, and health care.

In this episode, we talk about leaving behind a successful corporate career to follow your souls calling with my guest, Melissa McClain. Guest Bio: Melissa is an art photographer currently living in the Pacific Northwest. She grew up near Dallas, TX and as a child loved art classes and drawing. Over the years as art programs in schools began to diminish, she strayed from her love of creativity and color. After graduating from college she began working in Crisis Management, eventually receiving a Master’s Degree in the field and becoming a leader in the area of Survivor and Family Assistance. While traveling the world working with clients and responding to mass fatality events, photography became her self-care outlet and rekindled her passion for creativity and color. Today she finds inspiration in travels across Europe and the Pacific Northwest. From sunsets and sunrises to her unique images from the bottoms of boats, Melissa has a passion for color and her images have an abstract, painterly quality about them. She has exhibited her photography in group exhibitions around New York City and Seattle, her first show winning Best Of Show for her abstract from the Water Colors Collection. Recent accomplishments include a public art display in King County. Public collection of her work includes Weill Cornell Medical Center. Melissa's dream is to take her photography “off the walls” and expand her images to textiles and home and fashion designs.
