This podcast goes over all the skills Natalie Hutchinson learned abroad in Italy and how she has been able to use them home.

One of students biggest concerns is funding not just college, but their Study Abroad experience as well. The thing is, students don't always realize how many resources are out there to assist them with paying to study abroad in another country or location. Every program offered at our university is different and students are able to use some or all financial aid depending on the program. There are also many scholarships offered to students. Yolanda Alcaraz, Stan State's Financial Aid Advisor works with students who are going to study abroad. She is here today to discuss more about financial aid and scholarships, and answer some of students most asked questions.

Claudia Mendoza (Spain) and Nathaniel Heisler (Costa Rica) are the guest speakers in this episode and they share what their experience was like to be abroad during the development of Covid-19 and they also share their views on studying abroad after their own experience was cut short.

Diamond Brows is the perfect place for you— no matter your budget. With the season changing the City’s Winter Watering Schedule will be in full effect starting Nov. 1. Here’s a story to inspire you, Oscar Avila (owner) and the crew at the Turlock Cost Less grocery store have donned bright pink t-shirts in support of the Turlock Firefighters Local #2434 and their breast cancer fundraising campaign. Next, as the city of Turlock continues to grow, residents and visitors have seen a steady increase of different businesses.

And now show some support to our local businesses especially during this pandemic as I give you 2 business highlights this week. Also sharing the latest updates bout COVID 19 in Stanislaus County. All that and more today in this week's Local Turlock podcast. Despite some loss, heart of downtown continues to beat Source: https://www.turlockjournal.com/news/local/despite-some-loss-heart-downtown-continues-beat/  Since the coronavirus pandemic brought the world to a standstill in March, there has been plenty of movement in Turlock’s downtown core — from some longtime tenants who have closed down for good to out-of-town businesses making plans to open up shop. Despite recent economic setbacks both locally and nationwide, downtown Turlock has fared well since the pandemic began compared to past recessions. According to Assistant to the City Manager for Housing and Economic Development Maryn Pitt, the downtown vacancy rate was about 35 percent following the Great Recession. In the years that followed, a colorful revitalization took place complete with new boutiques, restaurants and coffee shops. While some businesses have closed due to the pandemic and rising rents, the progress made in the downtown core hasn’t been lost due to the shutdown. The vacancy rate is currently at about seven to 10 percent, and the City has taken measures to ensure businesses stand a chance at making it through the difficult climate. The weekly Downtown Turlock Street Vibe, which sees West Main Street closed between 1st Street and Broadway from Thursday to Sunday, has provided restaurants on that particular block to seat plenty of people outdoors. Throughout all of downtown, the City’s permits have allowed restaurants to get creative with their outdoor seating, utilizing sidewalks and creating ambience with lights and planter boxes.   Commonwealth is currently working with architects to figure out a seating plan that can be safe and profitable during the pandemic. Though some businesses have been hit harder by the pandemic than others, different industries continue to support each other.   New salon moves into Turlock Town Center Source: https://www.turlockjournal.com/news/local/new-salon-moves-turlock-town-center/ One of the newest tenants in the Turlock Town Center is a salon hoping to help everyone feel welcome — no matter their budget.  Diamond Brows owner Maisa Safi opened her first salon in Salinas before moving to Turlock, where she has expanded her business to not only include the eyebrow services her longtime customers already know and love, but also other beauty necessities like hair, nail and pedicure appointments. Since opening on Sept. 5, Diamond Brows has provided these services to the community in a glammed-out space that helps customers feel welcome. Diamond Brows specializes in lash application as well as eyebrow threading, waxing and microblading — a semi-permanent makeup service that gives clients the illusion of full brows via small, tattooed strokes. While the procedure typically costs anywhere from $500 and up, Safi offers quality work — or as she likes to call it, “talent” — for a fraction of the price.  It is Located at: 545 N Golden State Blvd., Turlock and open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday and Wednesday through Saturday; 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday; Closed Tuesdays. You can contact 209-250-2646 for more information. Winter Watering Schedule fast approaching Source: https://www.turlockjournal.com/news/government/winter-watering-schedule-fast-approaching/ With the season changing, the City’s Winter Watering Schedule will be in full effect starting Nov. 1. Make sure you reset your automatic sprinkler and irrigation timers to only turn on within the Winter Watering Schedule, which runs from Nov. 1 through Feb. 28. Even numbered addresses are allowed to water on Saturdays only and odd numbered addresses on Sundays only. No watering is allowed between the hours of 9 a.m. and 7 p.m. The City of Turlock strongly encourages customer to turn off sprinkler systems during the fall and winter months. As a reminder, there is no watering during or within 48 hours after measurable rainfall. As a part of the Water Conservation Program, the City does enforce the watering schedule and issue warnings and penalties to those customers who waste water and water on non-watering days. Please do your part to help ‘Save Our Water’ and conserve this season. For more information contact, Municipal Services at (209) 668-55or visit the City of Turlock website at: www.CityofTurlock.org.  Local market supports firefighters with shirt sales Source: https://www.turlockjournal.com/news/local/local-market-supports-firefighters-shirt-sales/ With many of the area’s normal fall fundraisers cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic, one local grocery store is doing its part to continue with its giving ways. Every October for the past eight years, Oscar Avila and the crew at the Turlock Cost Less grocery store on W. Main Street have donned bright pink t-shirts in support of the Turlock Firefighters Local #2434 and their breast cancer fundraising campaign. The specially designed pink t-shirts have helped raise over $100,000 during the past several years for the Bill and Elsie Ahlem Cancer Endowment, which assists local community members with their cancer treatments. When Avila heard there would be no pink t-shirts this year, he decided to take things in his own hands. Cost Less has designed its own t-shirt, with the help of artistically inclined employee Timothy Brown, as a tribute to firefighters.  The red shirts — not pink, as Avila didn’t want to infringe on the firefighters’ signature fundraiser color — read “We Appreciate Firefighters” and feature firefighter equipment such as a helmet, axe and hose. It is important for Avila to show support to the firefighters who “are having a very rough year” and at the same time raise some funds for their breast cancer campaign.  The t-shirts can be purchased for $20 at Cost Less, 255 W. Main St. in Turlock. Battle of the Bobas: Turlock Welcomes Another Boba Shop Source: https://www.csusignal.com/food/article_edf13cb0-0f69-11eb-9b01-ffcb80eb0935.html As the city of Turlock continues to grow, residents and visitors have seen a steady increase of different businesses. One of the newest is a Boba shop called Kung Fu Tea. Kung Fu Tea will join Quickly, which has been open in Turlock for nearly three years, as premier boba spots. These shops are not only within a short distance from Stan State, they are also within walking distance of one another. Both businesses expressed their thoughts on the two shops being so near each other. The Kung Fu Tea staff said that they are aware of Quickly being just a couple doors down. Their goal is to provide more options for Stan State students and Turlock and having competitors would help both businesses improve on their drink quality and customer service.  They are currently offering FiveStars rewards, which means that after 12 drinks purchased, the customer can get one free drink. They are prepared for the new customers coming in. You can’t go wrong with any of their drinks, it’s just based on what type of flavor you are interested in. Coronavirus update, Oct. 22: Stanislaus announces 394th death. Cases reach 17,403 Source: https://www.modbee.com/news/coronavirus/article246625388.html Stanislaus County announced its 394th death to COVID-19 on Wednesday and 49 new cases.  The total number of positive tests now stands at 17,403. It lists another 98,723 residents who have tested negative and 16,771 who are presumed recovered. The county’s five hospitals had 44 confirmed COVID-19 cases Wednesday, up from 41 on Tuesday.  In the first update Tuesday since leaving the move restrictive purple tier a week ago, Stanislaus County was able to meet the criteria for staying in the red status of California’s “slow and stringent” coronavirus reopening program. Geographically: Modesto has 6,461 positive cases Turlock has 2,322, and Ceres with 2,160 cases Business Highlights Eating out has been a well-mourned commodity since the COVID-19 pandemic shut down. Many small businesses in the area have been severely impacted, and some have gone under due to the temporary shut-down and subsequent lack of indoor eating accommodations. Others have still managed to survive by delivering or offering outdoor seating options. But if you are a local resident from Turlock, I bet you wish to be informed of the numerous tasty and affordable places to eat. Willie’s Pizza and Wings + Lulu’s Ice Cream Parlor Run by the same owner, these two establishments have a variety of foods to offer, and at decent prices as well.  Willie’s makes everything from scratch, pizza sauces, wing sauces, everything. They grate their own cheese and slice all of their vegetables.

Lulu’s serves burgers, fries, shakes, sundaes and ice cream scoops. They serve 28 flavors of ice cream and what some say are the best burgers in town  Lulu’s menu is broad in that it offers $12 gourmet burgers as well as a more readily affordable $2 menu.

News 9-28-17 Security camera to help police ID rabbit thieves https://www.nyoooz.com/news/chennai/797219/security-camera-to-help-police-id-rabbit-thieves/ Summary: "The two thieves took some time to select fully-grown rabbits , the largest in the enclosure," the officer said. "There may have been someone else involved who sent the juveniles to steal the animals and took them from the thieves. "The culprits walked into the research unit and pulled the rabbits out of their unlocked enclosures," an investigating officer said. "After the research assistant reported that the rabbits were missing, the head of the institution, Prof H Gopi, lodged a complaint with the Guduvancherry police. "They may have been involved in similar thefts earlier, perhaps the stealing of pet animals whose owners did not contact police. Police said a security camera near the enclosure had captured two juveniles as they stealthily filched 11 Russian Chinchilla rabbits and five New Zealand white rabbits from the research lab. Midwest BunFest: Rabbit fundraiser keeps growing http://www.thisweeknews.com/news/20170918/midwest-bunfest-rabbit-fundraiser-keeps-growing Midwest BunFest has found a home. The annual event for a nonprofit organization that seeks to find homes for abandoned pet rabbits will return Oct. 14 to the Northland Performing Arts Center, 4411 Tamarack Blvd. Midwest BunFest hopped from venue to venue for a while, but Ohio House Rabbit Rescue founder Beverly May said she’s pleased to see the event, which is vital to the organization’s survival, has hit on the perfect location. “Our biggest fundraiser is Midwest BunFest,” said May, whose organization is headquartered at 5485 N. High St. in Clintonville. She said the Northland Performing Arts Center probably is the permanent home for the annual celebration of all things rabbit. “They’ve just got the manpower to make it happen,” May said. “We’re very thrilled that we can be stationary for quite a few years.” Kent Stuckey, Northland Performing Arts Center board chairman, said the nonprofit is grateful to organizations such as Ohio House Rabbit Rescue for helping to pay for operating expenses at the building that is home to Vaud-Villities and Imagine Productions. “The center was founded with a mission to, while serving primarily central Ohio community arts organizations, to also be a community center,” Stuckey said. “We’ve got many community organizations that are dependent upon the facility for their operations, their meetings, their big, major events.” Along with fundraising efforts like a bowling event and an annual road race, Midwest BunFest helps raise awareness about Ohio House Rabbit Rescue, said May, who founded the organization in 2009. Ohio House Rabbit Rescue provides shelter for pet bunnies given up by their owners, as well as offering services to rabbit owners. This year’s Midwest BunFest will continue traditions set in previous years, said Ohio House Rabbit Rescue volunteer Adrienne Lang of Powell. “I think we’re kind of a well-oiled machine now,” she said. “We know what works and what doesn’t.” BunFest topped 1,000 in attendance for the first time last year, Lang said, and 250 bunnies also were on hand. “The growth we’ve seen in the past few years is incredible,” said Shanleigh Brown, marketing coordinator for Midwest BunFest. “It’s great people-watching and you get to see the bunnies.” Rosie Wendt of Upper Arlington, another rescue organization volunteer, said she attended the first Midwest BunFest shortly after getting her pet rabbit in 2013. “It was good to hear people who know much more than I did, and probably still more than I do, talk about what typical behaviors should be,” Wendt said. The Northland Performing Arts Center provides space to community organizations based on their ability to pay rent, Stuckey said. “There are a number of recurring events that we really depend on that are particularly productive so we need to prioritize the recurring events that help us keep the doors open and keep the lights on,” he said. “I would emphasize from a business perspective, this is only to meet operating needs. We don’t need to pay a mortgage. We don’t need to pay a lease. We’re just striving to cover operating costs. Essentially, this is a community asset.” The Midwest BunFest will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is $6 for adults, $3 for children younger than 12. Children younger than 5 are admitted free.   Pet events: Haunted trail, goat yoga and wine and rabbits http://www.post-gazette.com/pets/2017/09/22/Pet-Events-Haunted-Trail-Goat-Yoga-and-Wine-and-Rabbits/stories/201709230006 Wine and Rabbits Meet rescue rabbits looking for a home and enjoy wine, cheese and fruit from 6-10 p.m. Sept. 30 at The Pump House, 880 E.

Bini, the Holland Lop rabbit, claimed the Guinness World Record for most basketball slam dunks in one minute by a rabbit by dropping a tiny ball through a miniature hoop seven times within the time limit. "Having Bini become part of the Guinness World Records family is an incredible feeling, especially since I used to read the annual books when I was a kid," owner Shai Asor said. Asor said he passed his love of basketball onto the 5-year-old rabbit after watching Bini repeatedly push a ball into a box. He then realized he could train Bini to place the ball in a hoop and helped the rabbit practice his dunks every night before bed.

Nottingham vet school master’s degree student and project lead Emma Gurney said: “I have a personal interest in this subject as I love rabbits and have four of my own at home. They are increasingly popular as pets, particularly with the new trend of house rabbits that can even be trained to use litter trays. “We are very keen to know more about the extent of breeding for sale in the UK as it is pretty unregulated.” Question time The survey asks breeders basic questions such as: the numbers of breeding rabbits they look after how many ‘does’ and ‘bucks’ they keep what daily feeding routines are how many rabbits – and what breeds – they breed and sell the type of housing environments they are kept in No regulation According to PDSA, rabbits are the third most popular pet in the country, with an estimated population of 1.5 million rabbits, yet very little is known about how they are bred for sale into the pet trade. Zoologist and supervisor on the project Naomi Harvey said: “There are laws about the breeding and housing conditions of laboratory rabbits in scientific research, but our investigation so far has found no legislative guidelines or regulation in rabbit breeding for the pet industry.” The online questionnaire will be available until 31 January, with the project results submitted to Royal Society Open Science.   Frightened Rabbit have released a new video for ‘Roadless’ Posted On September 22, 2017 Words: Sam Taylor http://www.upsetmagazine.com/news/frightened-rabbit-released-new-video-roadless/ Last week, Frightened Rabbit surprise-dropped a new EP called ‘Recorded Songs’ – and today they’ve shared a video for one of the tracks. ‘Roadless’ features on the new three-track effort alongside a duet with Julien Baker called ‘How It Gets In’, and fellow new song ‘Rained On’. Scott Hutchison explains: “We’re proud to present the video for ‘Roadless’ to you all today. For the film we teamed up with one of Scotland’s most talented young animators, Ross Hogg. Ross has managed to unlock a layer of beauty with this, painstakingly etching into found footage to create a delicate and poignant animated film. We hope you enjoy watching and listening.” The EP follows on from latest album ‘Painting Of A Panic Attack’, released just last year, and a standalone track called ‘Fields of Wheat’ which they (unsurprisingly) released around the time of the general election. Stanislaus State Announces Rare Rabbit Joins National Geographic Photo Ark of Endangered Species http://goldrushcam.com/sierrasuntimes/index.php/news/local-news/11299-stanislaus-state-announces-rare-rabbit-joins-national-geographic-photo-ark-of-endangered-species A tiny cottontail on the edge of extinction has gained a foothold on forever, thanks to the Endangered Species Recovery Program (ESRP) of Stanislaus State and the National Geographic Photo Ark project. The riparian brush rabbit, whose numbers had dwindled to perhaps a few dozen, has been spotted worldwide since Sept. 7 on a National Geographic video post that has received more than 1 million views on Instagram. Photographer Joel Sartore’s images of the light gray bunny, with its distinctive pouchy cheeks, have joined 7,000 species captured for posterity. Sartore founded the Photo Ark so “that people will look these creatures in the eyes, and be inspired to care, while there is still time.” More than an effort to document the planet’s biodiversity, he and National Geographic seek to spur innovative efforts to save threatened species and raise funds for conservation, including through the #SaveTogether campaign. The suddenly famous brush bunny, tagged #0956 after the photo shoot, modeled for Sartore after being coaxed from underbrush on a scorching summer weekend by Patrick Kelly, ESRP coordinator and zoology professor, and Stan State students Celia Tarcha and Rachael Devaughn. “He only weighs about 1 pound, and lots of other critters would like to eat him. That’s why they have the name brush rabbit. They hide out in dense brush,” Kelly noted. The little lagomorph rarely strays more than a few feet from cover. It was once common in parts of the Central Valley, but farming and suburban sprawl reduced its habitat, and predators, including feral cats, decimated its numbers. In cooperation with private land owners and state and federal agencies, Stan State’s Endangered Species Recovery Program successfully bred captive rabbits from 2001 to 2013 and reintroduced those furry families into the wild. Today their descendants live in growing colonies on San Joaquin River National Wildlife Refuge and conservation partner lands, including the Faith Ranch. The effort got a helping hand from the largest contiguous riparian habitat restoration program in California, which introduced thickets of willow, wild rose and blackberry favored by the diminutive mammal. “When I was a small child reading National Geographic at my granduncle’s house in Galway City in the west of Ireland, I never dreamed that someday I would be working with a National Geographic photographer on a project,” Kelly said. Now he looks forward to doing so again. “ESRP biologists and students have worked to save many species over the past 25 years. I am hoping that Joel Sartore will return to California in the not-too-distant future to photograph some of our other threatened and endangered species: the riparian woodrat, San Joaquin kit fox, San Joaquin kangaroo rat, Mohave ground squirrel, blunt-nosed leopard lizard and many more,” Kelly said. “We need all the help we can get. As Joel says, we need people ‘to look these creatures in the eyes, to be inspired to care, while there is still time.’ ”     © Copyrighted

Based on our recent global survey of more than 100 higher ed brand identity redesigns over the past 2 years, Ken Steele counts down the 10 best rebrandings – those that are professional, memorable, balanced and well-designed, AND that didn’t spark a backlash from faculty, students or alumni.   #10: Saint Louis University, Missouri Design firm Olson of Minneapolis created a streamlined new logo using a vastly simplified coat of arms and an “ownable” fleur de lis. The branding system includes specs for consistent iconography, a variety of wallpapers, and a wide range of subbrands – including a new logo for Billken Athletics. This is SLU - https://youtu.be/CYMBLYkEsPQ About SLU’s New Logos - https://youtu.be/oc1tCyzm0_c What is a Billiken? - https://youtu.be/xmaxVk8lakY   #9: Belmont Abbey College, North Carolina Another Catholic college redesigned their steeple-focused identity with the help of Rickabaugh Graphics in Ohio. The result is a dynamic shield emblem with fresher typography and a slightly brighter crimson, and a new mark for Crusaders Athletics.   #8: Augusta University, Georgia In 2012, Augusta State University merged with Georgia Health Sciences to create Georgia Regents University – and then, apparently after a lawsuit from Regents University in Virginia, it changed its name again in 2015 to Augusta University. The new identity features a slick illustration of a colonial belltower (which doesn’t actually exist) that is simultaneously clearly a letter “A”. Augusta University Identity in Depth – https://youtu.be/CIBKWkF9DMY   #7: Stanislaus State University, California It was known by far too many different names: CSU Stanislaus, CSUS, California State Stanislaus, Stanislaus State, Stan State, and even “Turkey Tech.” But with the help of the Jeffrey Scott Agency in Fresno, Stan State unveiled a snazzy new “split shield” logo system in 2015 that standardized its name. Departments and individuals can now choose from “CSU Stanislaus” or “Stanislaus State” logos, and even “Stan State” is officially endorsed for internal audiences.   #6: Maricopa Community Colleges, Arizona The 10 colleges in Maricopa County had startlingly different brand identities, but in 2015 the Maricopa System unveiled “One Maricopa,” a new unifying logo system that would create consistent subbrands for each campus, while retaining their former colours and visuals. It was a masterful effort at compromise… but so far, there’s little sign that the colleges have actually adopted the new branding system.   That’s the first half of our round-up of the world’s top ten recent rebrands.
