Podcasts about massachusetts school

Tristian is a Massachusetts School of Law graduate and currently works as the CMO and COO at the Law Offices of Giselle Rodriguez, and as the Founder and CEO of Primus. Tristian's journey represents one that fully aligns with the tagline of this podcast. From College Basketball player to working in Real Estate and then landing himself in Law School, Tristian faced immense struggles, but still came out on top! Tristian and I started prior to Law School, where he was ending his college basketball career. Instead of going down the typical athlete route of teaching, coaching, or training, Tristian entered the world of Real Estate, achieving success and learning a tremendous amount. But after an issue with an attorney during his time doing Real Estate, and needing something more, Tristian decided that Law School was the route for him. We then moved to Tristian's first year of Law School, which he hated. It was a completely new way of doing school, and while he was grateful for the opportunity, it was a great struggle, an experience that resonates with many former guests of the podcast and law students around the country. In Tristan's first exam, he would experience a panic attack for the first time, and this moment would cause a mindset change for him. Tristian would make it to the end of Law School, getting his degree and moving to the next phase in his life Finally, we come to today, where Tristian is a serial entrepreneur, working as a COO and CMO as well as running digital marketing, and in the future, opening his own firm. Tristian's journey is full of wisdom and hard truths, but truths that are required for growth in this life!

The President uses a dissident's death to promote his bill for Ukraine, New York's AG threatens to take Trump Tower, and a Massachusetts school begs for the national guard to help with discipline. Things are getting desperate according to this week's "did they really just say that" moments.

A great speech from 2010 at the The Massachusetts School of Law's Educational Forum by Dr. Ilya Sandra Perlingieri. She makes great points about chemtrails, geoEngineering, and the harm it is doing to our health, including the harm it does to human reproduction.

More than four decades ago, the Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology (MSPP) opened its doors to offer graduate education in psychology to students who wanted to make a real difference in their communities. Thanks to a postcard in the mail, MSPP was renamed William James College in 2015, after the father of modern, applied psychology and someone who embodied the roles of educator, innovator, advocate, and influencer—all roles that William James College students, faculty, and alumni embrace and embody today. Under the 20+ year leadership of Dr. Nicholas Covino, the College has grown from a single-department, financially troubled institution to one that now has multiple departments and offers specialty training and consultative services. During our conversation, Dr. Covino shares the school's turnaround story including his insights about leading during periods of change. An oft-quoted mental health advocate and spokesperson, Covino also offers valuable guidance for college and university leaders about how to respond to the burgeoning mental health crisis impacting scores of college students, faculty, and staff. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/chelip/message

WBZ's Nichole Davis tells us more on what the mandate implies

WBZ's James Rojas has details

July 2012  Carole presented this at the Taking Action for Animals conference in Washington, D.C.   One person can be the cat-alyst for change. If you are sitting in this audience, YOU might be the kind of person who has the passion to overcome the impossible in order to help save thousands, or millions of animals. Rose Church is one of those people.   How many of you have heard about Tony the tiger who has been kept at a Louisiana truck stop for the past decade?   How many of you have heard of, or recognize Ian Somerhalder from the Vampire Diaries?   Ian Sommerhalder   Rose Church is a pro bono attorney for the Ian Somerhalder foundation and she wanted to get Ian involved in freeing Tony the tiger. Ian has 2,300,000 followers on Twitter and she thought that getting him to Tweet about Tony might help raise awareness about Tony the truck stop tiger. She contacted me to ask what Ian could ask his followers to do.   Even though we get more complaints about Tony than any other single situation and have been working to free him for the past decade, we had exhausted our ability to do anything. We had hired the tiger a lawyer and had shown up with plenty of supporters to testify, but it had become obvious that the state of Louisiana was not going to do anything. USDA has revoked the license to display the tiger, but that rarely seems to stop exhibitors from exhibiting.   The ALDF (Animal Legal Defense Fund) had continued the fight in the only venue left, which was the legal system. Court cases wind their way through the system like a river of molasses so there wasn't much anyone could do. It seemed like the whole world already knew about Tony, so having Ian Tweet his audience didn't seem like a terribly productive thing to do. If we had the help of a celebrity we told Rose that he could make a far great impact for thousands of tigers like Tony by educating his fan base about the issue that causes so many tigers and other big cats to end up being bred, exploited and discarded.   The underlying cause for almost all of this suffering is cub petting.   I explained to Rose that it was big business in the U.S. for breeders to charge the public to pet or pose with big cat cubs. One claims to have made $23,000 in a single weekend at a mall, charging people to have interaction with the cubs and / or have their photos made with the cubs. The breeders and dealers were doing these pay to play sessions with older lions and tigers up until the death of a high school student named Haley Hildebrand.   Thanks to pressure from the media and then the public, the USDA issued a FAQ sheet suggesting that cubs under 8 weeks should not be used this way. In a separate appellate court case the judge ruled that cubs over the age of 12 weeks were too dangerous for such interaction. The unintended result was creating a loophole whereby breeders could still charge customers to touch cubs who were between 8-12 weeks old. That resulted in massive breeding in order to have profitable cubs to use. Since their shelf life was only 4 weeks, breeders decided to produce lion and tiger cubs every month so that they would always have “legal” age cubs to use.   Rose could hardly believe her ears. First of all, she had never seen these mall exhibits where tiger breeders set up shop and offer cubs as photo props all day over a four day weekend. Second, she couldn't believe that USDA hadn't done something to close that 4 week window they had created.   It can be anything from fixing a broken toy to curing some social ill; have you ever had one of those moments where you see a situation and think to yourself, “I can fix this.” This was Rose's moment. She said to herself, “I can do something about this!”   Rose figured there at LOTS of animal protection groups out there and if they all worked together they could fix this thing. But, she doubted that anyone would listen to her if she made the suggestion that they do so. She took the information to her professor from Law School, Diane Sullivan because she knew that Dean Sullivan had her own animal law television show and a lot of clout in the animal protection community. She figured that if Dean Sullivan were to ask the big animals groups to come together that it might actually happen.   Rose asked me who the big players are that care about tigers. That was an easy question because I had been part of a team of more than 40 such organizations who worked together as the International Tiger Coalition. The ITC had been formed primarily to end the tiger farming in China, but time and again the hurdle was that China would resist our suggestions by pointing out the fact that the U.S. doesn't even know how many tigers we have nor where they are nor how they are being housed. I gave her the names and contact info for the people who I felt had been most involved in the ITC and who could work well together.   Rose contacted IFAW, the International Fund for Animal Welfare and went over the list to get further input on who would be willing to work together on the tiger issue. The result was a round table meeting in D.C. at IFAW in July 2011. At the table were the International Fund for Animal Welfare, the Humane Society of the United States, Born Free, the World Wildlife Fund, the Animal Legal Defense Fund, the Wild Cat Conservation Legal Aid Society, World Council for Animal Rights, the Dean of the Massachusetts School of Law, Ian Somerhalder Foundation, the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries and Big Cat Rescue. Combined we represent more than 18 million supporters.   I've been a part of other animal welfare coalitions but this group has worked better together than anything I've ever seen before. The meeting was hugely successful and we got to the root of the tiger problem: cub petting. In your conference bags you will find a four page summary of the Tiger Handling Crisis. There is another page of citations used for the document that we are providing online at BigCatLaws.com   What the group concluded was that we can't save wild tigers as long as there is such unregulated trade in captive tigers who provide a legal smoke screen for illegal activities such as poaching. China has made the argument that they should be allowed to farm tigers for their parts to fill the demand, but there will always be a demand for the “real” tiger; the “wild” tiger and expanding the market through farming tigers will only result in them being exterminated more quickly in the wild.   Right now there are more tigers in back yard cages in America than are left in the wild. It is thought that there are less than 3200 tigers left in the wild and at last count, by USDA, there were about 5000 tigers in USDA facilities. Only about 200 of those are AZA zoos, so the rest are in roadside zoos, circus acts, and back yards; and that is just the ones who voluntarily reported and who hold USDA licenses. For those who are not licensed by USDA, the people who own them as pets, there has been no census done.   As the group looked at the situation in the U.S., it became apparent that the number one cause for so many tigers to end up in deplorable conditions was the very lucrative cub petting industry. Two factors made this abuse possible.   Back in the 1980s white tigers became all the rage. White tigers would sell for $60,000 because the public was so enamored with seeing this freak of nature. What the zoos kept quiet was the fact that the only way to create that white coat was through purposely inbreeding, father to daughter, mother to son and brother to sister. Over time the cubs became more and more genetically impaired, suffering from club feet, open spines, crossed eyes and badly formed bones and teeth. Before long the Bengal tigers were so inbred that they were no longer reproducing or cubs were being born dead. But the public demanded to see white tigers, so the zoos started hybridizing Bengal tigers and Siberian tigers to continue the inbreeding a few generations more.   So many zoos and backyard breeders were cross breeding tigers that the USFWS decided it wasn't worth their time to process the captive bred wildlife permits that are required for endangered species, so they created the “generic” tiger loophole. What this did was allowed zoos and private owners to breed non purebred tigers with no oversight and the tiger population exploded in the U.S.   The other factor that made it so easy for tigers to be bred and used as photo and petting props was that even though USDA had inadvertently created a four week window, between 8 and 12 weeks when cubs could be petted by the public, they had no way to enforce it because they do not require any sort of registration of tigers and rely almost entirely on what the tiger owner tells them as to the age of the cub or why the cub was taken from their mother. The same person who claims to make over $20,000 in a good weekend at the mall had 23 tiger cubs die over the span of just a little over a year, but to date the USDA has done nothing about it.   So, the coalition decided on a three prong approach to ending the abuse of tigers:   Close the generic tiger loophole at the USFWS   Ask USDA to close the 4 week window of cub petting   A federal bill that ends the breeding and trade in big cats outside of AZA zoos   Only a year has passed since one person arranged for a bunch of animal protection groups to work on this and we have good news so far:   The USFWS has put the suggestion of closing the generic tiger exemption out on the Federal Register for public comment and more than 14,000 commented in favor of doing so. The rule hasn't been made final, but the government moves slowly.   We met with USDA, presented the Cub Handling Crises flier you have, along with the citations and the concurrence of 20 zoo vets who agree that cub petting should be banned. Unfortunately, the USDA has taken the position that they do not have the power to close the window. They made it; they should be able to close it, but they are unwilling, so we are still working on that one. For the most part their attitude seems to be that they don't think it is a big enough problem because they don't hear about it much. With your help we can fix that!   I've been writing my story since I was able to write, but when the media goes to share it, they only choose the parts that fit their idea of what will generate views.  If I'm going to share my story, it should be the whole story.  The titles are the dates things happened.

We chatted with Chief Ron Sellon from the Mansfield, MA Police Department.  Chief since 2013, Ron earned his law degree from Massachusetts School of Law.  He is an active member of the Massachusetts Chiefs of Police Association and is a Vice President with the International Chiefs of Police Association.  Ron is an FBI National Academy graduate.  He is focused on ensuring his agency is proactive, using Evidence-based and data driven decisions.  He has established a model Problem-oriented unit in his community. In a wide-ranging chat, we spoke of leadership, reacting to the current issues, and the future of policing. 

The Big Cat Coalition Formed in DC Rose Church a pro bono attorney for the Ian Somerhalder Foundation contacted Big Cat Rescue asking what Ian could do to help Tony the tiger be saved from the truck stop in Grosse Tete, LA.  Ian Somerhalder is the star of the Vampire Diaries and from Louisiana and had a Twitter following of 2.3 million fans at that time.   We had been working to save Tony since 2009 and so had the Animal Legal Defense Fund and there wasn't anything more that could be done at the time as these things drag out through years and years of appeals, so Howard Baskin and I suggested that if Ian really wanted to make a difference for big cats that he help us stop cub handling.   Rose couldn't believe that such abuse actually existed in this country and contacted her law professor, Diane Sullivan, to see what could be done. They thought that bringing together the big non profits who work on big cat issues together for a round table would be a good idea and asked if I knew anyone.  I gave her the contacts we had in the International Tiger Coalition and she managed to get representatives from a number of them to come to a meeting on July 25, 2011.   Attendees were:   ALDF  Stephan Otto from the Animal Legal Defense Fund   BCR  Howard Baskin and Carole Baskin from Big Cat Rescue   BF USA  Adam Roberts and Tracy Coppola from Born Free   GFAS  Patty Finch from the Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries   HSUS  Debbie Leahy from the Humane Society of the United States   IFAW  Jeff Flocken, Nathan Herschler & Gina Miller from the International Fund for Animal Welfare   ISF  Rose Church from the Ian Somerhalder Foundation   MSL  Dean Diane Sullivan, from Massachusetts School of Law, filmed the Plight of Tigers further down   WCAR  World Council for Animal Rights   WCCLAS  Wild Cat Conservation Legal Aid Society   WWF  Leigh Henry from the World Wildlife Fund   Combined we represent more than 18 million supporters.   Each of us had come there to decide how we could end the big cat crisis.  Each person around the table said what they thought the biggest contributing factor to big cat abuse and extinction was.  No one mentioned cubs and I was the last or next to the last to speak. I said that if we end the cub handling, all the other abuses fall away; circuses, private ownership, illegal trade and the smokescreen for illegal trade which was causing extinction in the wild.  We agreed on a three prong approach that day:   1. Rescind the generic tiger loophole with USFWS. 2. Force USDA to enforce the Animal Welfare Act  which should already be interpreted to not allow cub handling. 3. A federal ban on cub handling and private ownership.   https://bigcatrescue.org/big-cat-coalition/   I've been writing my story since I was able to write, but when the media goes to share it, they only choose the parts that fit their idea of what will generate views.  If I'm going to share my story, it should be the whole story.  The titles are the dates things happened.

Randol Barker Award at Johns Hopkins and the Education Achievement Award for the University of Massachusetts School of Medicine Population-Based Urban and Community Health Track (PURCH) curriculum. The next time you enter a patient's room, pause at the door to become mindful. This is the advice Dr. Raquel Belforti shares with us today about the best way to approach patient care. Being able to be a part of the patient's world is a gift, and we can honor that by taking the time to listen to them mindfully. As physicians, our job is to establish trust and connection quickly—because the patient is putting their life in our hands. The best thing we can do is take the time to be present, and ask the patient not just about their diagnosis—but about their story. Dr. Belforti explains that it's not so much the medical knowledge, but the role modeling, where she feels she'll leave her biggest impact as a mentor. And the best place to make that impact is at the bedside. Pearls of Wisdom: 1. Stop yourself at the patient's door and be mindful of the role you're going to play in that patient's life. Then, take the time to sit and listen to the patient. 2. A career in medicine requires us to be at our best at all times. If there is something that is preventing us from doing that, we need to actively speak up and gather support from others—which is a sign of strength, not weakness. 3. Build a mentorship map: Have a mentor for each category of your professional and personal life in that map, and seek advice based on the role they fit into. 4. Take advantage of opportunities that come your way. But first, ask yourself first if you can commit 100% to it, if you can give it your all.

On April 29, 2019, the Supreme Court decided Thacker v. Tennessee Valley Authority, a case involving a dispute over the “discretionary-function exception” to waivers of federal sovereign immunity.In 2013, Anthony Szozda and Gary and Venida Thacker were participating in a fishing tournament on the Tennessee River. The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) had a crew near the river, trying to raise a downed power line that had partially fallen into the river instead of crossing over it. The crew attempted to lift the conductor out of the water concurrent with Szozda and the Thackers passing through the river at a high rate of speed. The conductor struck both Thacker and Szozda, causing serious injury to Gary Thacker and killing Szozda. The Thackers sued TVA for negligence. The district court dismissed their complaint for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. On appeal, the US Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit affirmed that judgment. Although the act creating the TVA waives sovereign immunity from tort suits, the Court held that the waiver does not apply where the TVA was engaged in governmental functions that were discretionary in nature. Applying a test derived from the Federal Tort Claims Act, the Court determined that the TVA’s challenged conduct fell within this “discretionary-function exception,” and immunity therefore applied.The Supreme Court unanimously reversed the judgement of the Eleventh Circuit and remanded the case for further proceedings. In an opinion delivered by Justice Kagan, the Court held that the TVA’s sue-and-be-sued clause, which waives sovereign immunity, is not subject to a discretionary-function exception. Rather, on remand the court below should consider whether the conduct alleged to be negligent is governmental or commercial in nature. If it is commercial, immunity does not apply. If it is governmental, immunity may apply--but only if prohibiting the kind of suit in question is necessary to avoid grave interference with the governmental function at issue.To discuss the case, we have Richard Peltz-Steele, Professor at the University of Massachusetts School of Law.

Burr, when testing the immunity of governmental “sue and be sued” entities (like the Tennessee Valley Authority) from the plaintiffs’ claims.To discuss the case, we have Richard Peltz-Steele, Professor at University of Massachusetts School of Law.

In this episode, Dustin Marlan, Assistant Professor of Law at the University of Massachusetts School of Law, discusses his draft article "Unmasking the Right of Publicity." Marlan describes the creation of the right of publicity by Judge Frank in Haelan v. Topps (1953), and the confusion that has long surrounded the justification for the right of publicity. He argues that Frank was influenced by the psychoanalytic theories of Freud and Jung, in particular the concept of the "divided self," consisting of a "true" inner self and a "false" outer self. Marlan observes that modern theories of the "intersubjective" self suggest that Frank's model may need to be revisited.Keywords: right of publicity, psychoanalysis, Judge Jerome Frank, Jung, Freud, intersubjectivity, advertising, new media, social media, legal realism, persona, personality, Haelan Laboratories, self, identity See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Dr. Judson Brewer is someone who has dedicated his career to uncovering the benefits of paying attention, or what is typically known as mindfulness. He is the Director of Research at the Center for Mindfulness and an Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Medicine at the University of Massachusetts School of Medicine.  In his new book, "The Craving Mind: From Cigarettes to Smartphones to Love – Why We Get Hooked and How We Can Break Bad Habits," he unpacks the science behind the many different kinds of addiction and how we can conquer them. He is an important voice in the relatively young field of mindfulness research because he makes it accessible to all of us, not just those who “meditate.” Mindfulness isn’t one more thing we have to mindful of; rather, If we can stay curious, we can stay mindful. And when we are mindful, we can then remain more present to our one and only precious life.

Psychiatrist and addiction expert Judson Brewer was researching better treatment options for alcohol and cocaine addiction patients and found, through clinical studies, that meditation could significantly help break these behaviors or "habit loops" and prevent relapses. Brewer, who is now the director of research at the University of Massachusetts School of Medicine's Center for Mindfulness, founded a company called Claritas MindSciences, which uses neurofeedback techniques combined with mindfulness exercises for several conditions, from eating disorders to smoking addiction.

Diane Graber of Cyberwise: No Grownup Left Behind There's some fear of the unknown for parents, because their kids are growing up in a world so different from the one they grew up in. Although that was true for an earlier generation or more, dangers seem to have multiplied. Principles of human behavior, though, Diane emphasizes, haven't changed although the tools available have. Focus on the behaviors, and you won't have to keep up with every new tool. Consideration for others, ethical behavior, good manners, need to be modeled by parents even while children are too young to use the tools the parents are using, because little ones are taking it all in. Research shows adults are prone to share personal information online than kids are! Three things our guest recommends 1. Remember it's not about the tools, it's about using them wisely. 2. Be curious about the world kids are living in, especially when they first start using social media, before the door closes in teen years when they are not so eager to have you enter their world. 3. Try the apps out yourself to see what the buzz all about. Your kids can help you learn how. In teaching the Cyber Civics™ Privacy unit Ms. Graber has her 7th graders read the Privacy Policy of a tool they are interested in using, providing help with the legal terms. In small group discussion the kids go over the policy and voice their reactions to it. “I can't believe that! That's not right!” is a common reaction. Some decide they can live without an app that makes unfair demands. The 3-year middle school Cyber Civics™ curriculum includes in year one, Digital Citizenship, in year two, Information Literacy (how to retrieve, analyze, and use information), and in year three, Media Literacy (how to analyze media messages). If you'd like to introduce your child's middle school to the program, contact Diane at cyberwise.org or go to cybercivics.com for a leaflet or free downloads of the actual lessons for one-hour per week of the school year. Her school found that the students' school scores have risen because so many subject areas are touched upon in the classes and critical thinking skills are being taught. Success depends upon the three communities (teachers, children, and parents) working together, so workshops for teachers and presentations to parents are available. Front-running apps at present include Instagram and Snapchat. It is important to remind kids that there are a number of ways that Snapchat's “disappearing” shots can be recorded by others, contrary to the belief that they cannot form part of their digital footprint that stays online. On the plus side, kids can save their ‘snaps' throughout the day and combine them to form Snapchat stories to tell others about their day. News bits from CNN and National Geographic are distributed to Snapchat users, increasing its value. It is very important for parents to support and abide by the age requirements of various tools. If you must be 13 to sign up, stick with that and do not let peer pressure or kid pressure coerce you into allowing your children to use the app if they are underage. They will not be protected by the Children's Online Protection Act (COPA) if they have lied about their age. Furthermore, developmentally children do not typically have the cognitive ability to think ethically before the age of 13.

Is the younger generation running digital circles around you? Thanks to our expert guests our listeners are familiar with many guidelines for parents, educators, and adults in general, who are confronting the challenges of the digital age. This episode goes one step farther, because Diana Graber of Cyberwise.org has provided mini courses designed to teach you what research has shown to be the six most important Digital Life Skills. Ms. Graber earned an M.A. in Media Psychology and Social Change, making her an ideal guest for The Social Network Show. She and Dr. J discuss the importance of getting research findings into the hands of the public. When researchers write primarily for other researchers, too often even the most useful information can become cloaked in jargon with which the general reader is unfamiliar. Diana has translated and organized valuable information in bite-sized chunks as certificate modules available at the very affordable price of $8.99. (cyberwisecert.com) In fact, your first course is completely free. Schools can subscribe to Cyber Civics™ [http://www.cyberwise.org/#!get-the-cyber-civics-program/c10pf ], years 1 and 2, to provide curriculum in digital literacy training to middle school educators. Asking children to show you how to use the social apps they are fans of is a great way not only to learn the ropes, but also to establish the custom of being where your kids are, before they reach the teen years when they are may not be so eager to communicate. Diana observes that the frontal lobe, source of judgment, may not completely develop until the age of 25! She notes other developmental milestones that will help you appreciate the opportunity, as well as the challenge, information technology presents. Diana emphasizes that behavior is far more important that the particular digital tool-du-jour. Although new tools appear almost daily, behavioral principles are evergreen, carrying over from one app to the next!
