This summer, my husband and I undertook a move. A relocation from Massachusetts to Arizona has been undertaken by others, no doubt. We decided to make things a little more interesting than a direct route. We headed north. Our circuitous route is winding us through Newfoundland, Portugal, and North Carolina. When one would think to take the southerly route from the Carolina’s to Arizona in the winter months, we will make Bugs Bunny’s famous right turn at Albuquerque to get to Bozeman, Montana. Then, we’ll drive to Arizona.
University education has long been a stepping stone to a successful career, but with the ever-changing job market landscape, is this still the case? In 2022, the majority of jobs will require some form of post-secondary education. However, the type of education needed will vary depending on the field.
Friends old and new can offer connection and perspective in shifting times.
The many aspects of friendship come up as a source for musicians, of course. Friendship also often informs the creation of music itself, as musicians collaborate in writing, playing, and recording their work.
Here are several ways to consider these varied aspects of friendship as expressed through music.
During one of my classes at the University of Stirling, we were asked what our decision would be if we had the power to grant asylum to a woman seeking asylum in our country on the grounds of consistent domestic violence from her husband. Being a woman and coming from a background where multiple women have died as a result of domestic violence, either directly or indirectly, I naturally want to offer her respite, but I also know that the answer depends on the substantive laws of both my country and her home country.
The approximate 6,000 ships that have succumbed to raging storms attest to the power of the Great Lakes. As I traveled, writing and compiling information for my three-volume travel series that explores Michigan's coasts, I heard or read the tales left behind by those ill-fated ships. They add a somber, but compelling backdrop to Michigan’s waterways.
Do you know what reproductive rights are, who they apply to, and what they involve?
Often, the reproductive rights narrative is minimized to:
● Women’s Rights
● Abortion
● STDs
Not only is this limited narrative incorrect—and, in some cases, harmful— it also does not fully reflect the impact, success, and importance of reproductive health care for all people in fully claiming, and enjoying their human rights.
Holidays are fun because everyone enjoys visiting family and friends. It's wonderful that airlines provide affordable vacation packages to exotic islands and other tourist destinations. The airport parking industry has significantly grown as more people travel by air.
There’s so much to explore in this world that, too often, we’re overwhelmed. Luckily for us, there are guidebooks written by experts that can clearly help us decide where to visit next.
Such is the case with a new book by renowned travel writer Sandra Bornstein, our History Comes Alive Through Travel Editor.
Growing up, I wanted to have that perfect penmanship. Taking notes in high school found me pressing hard enough with my pen to ensure I could feel the ink on the back of the paper, have evenly spaced letters and words, and quite literally rip out a page if I had to scribble out a letter. Needless to say, I had no idea then how much pressure and anxiety I caused myself in the process of seeking that perfect penmanship.
