Twenty-four states will either have a primary election or a caucus on Tuesday, making it the most influential political day in United States history. More than 52 percent of all Democratic delegates and 41 percent of all Republican delegates will be decided on Tuesday.
Many states, including New Jersey, pushed their primaries from June to February in order to insure that their votes truly counted in determining the candidates for President.
At Weehawken's Roosevelt School, the fourth and sixth grade students held their own Presidential primaries and caucuses Thursday, stumping for their respective candidates before heading to an online voting procedure instituted by Scholastic.com.
The students were definitely aware of the primary and caucus procedure, which was quite remarkable considering that most of the students are a good seven or so years away from heading to the voting booths themselves.
But they all certainly had opinions about their respective candidates, holding campaign signs and pictures of the top contenders through the caucus process.
The students even taught this reporter covering the event something - that there are 147 Democratic delegates from New Jersey at stake and 52 Republican. The first Democratic candidate to collect 2,025 delegates and the first Republican to reach 1,191 delegates will be the nominees for the November election.
Showing their support
Sixth grader Kara Keating was carrying a campaign sign for Sen. Barack Obama.
"I'm for Obama because he wants children throughout the United States to get a better education," Keating said.
Fellow sixth grader Emily Chong is supporting Sen. Hillary Clinton.
"She can change the course of history in the United States by becoming the first female President," Chong said. "She's also going to make a big difference when it comes to establishing health insurance for everyone. She's a tough woman."
Classmate Elizabeth Tejada is supporting Republican frontrunner Sen. John McCain.
"I think John McCain has the most experience of anyone else and that's a huge plus," Tejada said.
Although former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani announced last week that he was dropping out of the race for President and throwing his support behind McCain, the students at Roosevelt still considered "America's Mayor" to be in the hunt.
"I'm supporting Rudy because he would do a good job on cracking down on our country's security," young supporter Alex Santana said. "He wants to have better gun control and we can't have our people being able to buy guns."
Unfortunately, there were no supporters for former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney or former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who still remain in the race for the Republican nomination.
Former Sen. John Edwards, who announced last week that he was also dropping out of the race, received a major snub from the Weehawken youngsters.
There was only room for so many candidates in the Roosevelt caucuses.
Among the fourth graders, there was also mixed support.
"I'm for John McCain, because he's been serving this country for a long time," said Jerry Tejada. "He's just a good person."
Nine-year-old Michaela Cruciani is supporting Obama.
"He wants better education and that's important," Cruciani said.
Nine-year-old Lukas Stever is a Hillary fan, but mainly because of her husband, the former President.
"I just like the Clinton family," Stever said. "If it was not for Bill Clinton being President, my brother would have died because he needed so many surgeries."
Apparently universal health insurance is an issue even with the young.
A lot of the fourth graders were avid Obama supporters, citing education and health reform.
Nine-year-old Ally Tierney said that she enjoyed the campaigning and the caucuses, because it helped her learn more about the process.
"I now know how the primaries and caucuses work," Tierney said. "It was a lot of fun."
Voted online
After they heard all the campaign promises and lingo, the students went into technology teacher Brian Calligy's lab and voted for their respective candidates online.
While their individual class results were not tabulated, they were informed how fellow students in New Jersey were voting.
Among the Democrats, Obama was in front. The leading vote getter among New Jersey school children on the Republican side? Surprisingly, it was Mike Huckabee.
The voting will continue online by Scholastic.com through Monday.
But now, the students of Roosevelt can watch the proceedings of "Super Duper Tuesday" and have a better understanding of what was taking place. They will also return to their respective voting booths in November to vote in the Presidential election, which they've done in the last two prior elections in 2000 and 2004.
"There are so many primaries and caucuses, but they understand now what makes it all work," said Jon Hammer, a seventh grade academically talented teacher who helped coordinate the caucuses and primaries with Calligy. "They can sit down with their parents and tell them who they're voting for. I think the parents will be surprised and impressed with how much they know."

Home > Our History > Meet the Team
We're Pro's, and we're here to Help
Ted and Marie Giouzelis, Founders
Ted and Marie Giouzelis have had the entrepreneurial spirit from an early age. As newlyweds in their 20s, they owned a successful produce market in San Francisco and a popular Hofbrau restaurant, Nob Hill Chicken & Ribs, in the heart of Union Square. Deciding to raise their family on the Peninsula, they moved to Belmont and renamed the restaurant Mr. Hofbrau. Almost immediately, they began receiving requests to prepare meals for schools.
After several years of operating Mr. Hofbrau—and with the demand for school lunches and private catering steadily increasing—Ted and Marie decided to focus on Nob Hill Catering, Inc. exclusively.
Ted and Marie have owned Nob Hill Catering, Inc. for nearly 30 years and The LunchMaster for nearly 20.
With their premier food service experience, it's no wonder thatThe LunchMaster is the #1 choice for school meals.
Felicia Giouzelis
Ted and Marie's daughter Felicia joined The LunchMaster during college. As Food Service Director at Nob Hill Catering, Felicia wears several hats. She works with corporate and private catering clients, manages sales and marketing operations, and oversees our relationships with the schools.
Felicia has introduced great new ideas at The LunchMaster. She implemented a discount program that offers special pricing to schools hosting catered events. In March 2010, she planned and executed the first annual "Night with The LunchMaster!"—which attracted school administrators, parents, and students. Sponsored by The LunchMaster and Kids' Culinary Adventures, this fun and informative evening was emceed by Nurse Rona Renner of the 98.1 FM "Childhood Matters" show.
Mike Giouzelis
Ted and Marie's son Mike joined the team after graduating from high school and is an integral part of The LunchMaster program. Mike began as Warehouse Manager and has worked his way up to being Chief Operating Officer. He is responsible for the LunchMaster Meals, from raw ingredients to when it arrives at the schools.
Mike has a family of his own, wife Stephanie and son Teddy and one on the way. He's a favorite at every school he visits and is affectionately referred to as "Mr. Mike" by students and school administrators.
Melissa Manning, Registered Dietitian
Our staff dietitian Melissa Manning specializes in child nutrition. The mother of two, she particularly enjoys making food healthy and fun. For example, in The LunchMaster menus, Melissa makes good use of nutrient-rich, dark-green romaine lettuce. And kids are unaware that her delicious marinara sauce actually qualifies as a vegetable. She believes that if foods like fruit are easy to eat, kids will love them. That's why our menus feature fresh-cut apples and oranges instead of whole fruit, which can be difficult for small children to manage.
Melissa has analyzed and evaluated the menus of more than 60 school districts as part of her work with California state nutrition auditors. She now brings her extensive experience to creating appealing, nutritious meals for The LunchMaster program.
Melissa has been a proud member of The LunchMaster team since 2006.
Joe Knipp
Joe Knipp is a peninsula local that prides himself on using character, discipline, and integrity on a daily basis in a team environment. Joe's graduation from Bellarmine College Prep provided him with the determination to graduate from the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD where he received a bachelor of science in general engineering. Upon graduation, he was commissioned as an officer in the United States Navy where he devoted six years of service.
Upon completion of his time in the United States Navy he transitioned into the competitive environment of sales where he thrives on working with a team to bring customers impeccable service paired with a superior product. His background of leadership, management, sales, and positive belief system along with The LunchMaster's flawless reputation for providing high quality, highly nutritious meals that kids actually eat and enjoy will operate as the beacon he uses to guide his clients though the purchasing process.
To register your child in the meal program you'll first need a password - request one here.

Comment Number: | 522418-10018 |
Received: | 7/15/2006 4:03:19 PM |
Organization: | Quackwatch |
Commenter: | Stephen Barrett |
State: | PA |
Subject: | Business Opportunity Rule |
Title: | Notice of Proposed Rulemaking |
CFR Citation: | 16 CFR Part 437 |
No Attachments |
An effective Business Opportunity Rule would help millions of people and would be one of the most significant actions in the FTC's history. Work-at-home plans, party plans, and multilevel marketing (MLMs) have some characteristics that are common and others that are not. Thought should be given to whether each part of the rule is applicable to all types of business opportunities and whether sections should be added that apply to only one or a few types of opportunities. The comments below are meant to apply only to MLMs. Since 1980, I have investigated more than 150 MLM companies offering health-related products and found that none gave a realistic picture of probable income. I recommend: 1. THERE SHOULD BE NO EXEMPTION OR THRESHHOLD FOR EARNINGS CLAIMS: Because the promise of high income is the cornerstone of MLM recruiting, all MLMs should be required to comply with the earnings-claim disclosure rules and no MLM company should be permitted to make "no earnings claims." For the same reason, the applicable threshold for coverage of the rule should be zero. Even a $100 threshold would exempt MLM companies who solicit millions of people every year. 2. DISCLOSURE MUST BE MEANINGFUL: All MLMs should be required to disclose the following in a clear and understandable format (such as easily interpreted percentile columns), and separate from all other materials furnished to prospective distributors: (a). Total company revenue from US-based distributors. (b). The total number of US-based distributors involved in the company for at least three years or since the company's founding if the company is less than three years old. (c). The number of terminations and the number of new recruits for each of the past three years in the United States. (d). The net increase (new ones less those who drop out) in the number of distributors in the various ranks of the upline as a percent of all who have been distributors for three years. (e). The percentile incomes of all who have signed up for a distributorship in the United States. (e.g., the top 10% averaged $___, the next 10% averaged $__, etc.) Percentile income is far more meaningful than "average" income (total company income divided by the number of distributors) because including the highest earners would make the reported average higher than most distributors make. Income data should not be limited to those a company would describe as active distributors. (f). Income should be defined as money the company pays to distributors minus all money distributors pay to the company. However, it should be disclosed that this does not take into account distributor expenses such as advertising, exhibiting, travel, purchase of sales aids from non-company sources, or other overhead. (g). The percentage of US-based distributor income derived from sales outside of the United States. 3. DISCLOSURE MUST BE CONSPICUOUS To ensure that the rules are conspicuous and to help the FTC monitor compliance, copies of all disclosures should be given to each distributor and posted on each company Web site. In addition, all distributor Web sites that solicit new distributors should either post the earnings statement or link to it on the company Web site. To facilitate comparison and further consumer education, the FTC should maintain a site that contains the final Business Opportunity Rule, the individual company disclosures, and other information that would assist prospective investors. The attached document contains additional suggestions. If you hold hearings, I would welcome an opportunity to testify. Sincerely yours, Stephen Barrett, M.D., Quackwatch, Inc.

Get Financially Fit: 10 New Year's Resolutions For Your Wallet
Too often at the beginning of a New Year, we don't address one of the biggest problem areas in our lives: our finances. Instead of striving to be financially fit, our physical fitness is more important. While health and wellness should be a main priority in our lives, our finances should also take some type of priority as well. And as 2013 approaches, striving to be more wealthy should be another resolution to put on our list.
If you are looking to make a few changes in your financial part of life this New Years, here are a few suggestions of resolutions for your finances. Get in better financial shape in 2013!

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has found that one in five people who look at their credit report are seeing a version that's different from the one that lenders see when they pull that person's info.
According to The Huffington Post, the CFPB examined 200,000 reports from the three major credit reporting agencies (it doesn't specify, but that's usually Experian, TransUnion and Equifax) and found that between 19 and 24 percent of the time, the differences in the scores were significant. Credit agencies use their own scoring models to determine a person's score. As you know, banks and other lenders use these scores to determine whether a person is too much of a risk to lend money to. They also determine the cost of the loan you're getting.
HuffPo reports, "[The discrepancy] could lead those consumers to waste time applying for loans they cannot afford or to take out loans with worse terms than they could get if they saw the same score as the lender, the consumer agency said."
The CFPB was created by the Dodd-Frank law, which itself was a response to the Great Recession. The group has been charged with keeping an eye on 30 credit reporting companies, among other things. These findings demonstrate the need for an organization like this.
Unfortunately, if there's information going to lenders that you're not privy to, there's not much that you can do. But, consumers would be smart to keep an eye on the credit scores they do have access to, making sure that there are no glaring mistakes and correcting ones that are found. Consumers are at a disadvantage, so they have to have a firm grasp on all the data they can control.

Shop Around: How To Get The Best Deal On A Home Loan
Applying for a home loan can be overwhelming — what with the paperwork, credit requirements, terms and other banking jargon. But don't be deterred. Just as you would comparison shop for any big-ticket purchase, do the same when it coms to loans. Various banks will offer you different rates and terms. Select the one that's best for your financial situation.
There are the things you should do before going shopping, according to Charon D. Darris, VP and senior business banker for New York City's, KeyBank Corp. "Know your credit scores and credit reports," he said in an email. The three credit rating services are Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax. "These reports and scores can differ from company to company. It's important you pull all three to ensure you have a comprehensive picture of your full credit profile and can proactively address any discrepancies you may uncover."
Darris suggests using "an online mortgage calculator" to first do your calculations at home. "Most banks have a section of their website that will estimate what size loan you can handle given your income, property taxes, and other deductions," he explains.
And before you hit the major banks, consider the smaller institutions. "Start with community banks. Often people start with the big names like Chase, Bank of America and Citi. However, underwriting standards and pricing are likely to be more negotiable at smaller financial institution," advises Darris.
Now you're ready to shop around. Here are a few tips from Darris on what you should ask each bank.
• Will you cover my closing fees? And if not, do you have a cap on closing fees?
• What is maximum tenor will you provide for my loan? (Tenor is the length of time until a loan is due.)
• What is the minimum down payment I will need to provide and when do I need it?
• Would an additional guarantor help the bank be more comfortable?
• Are there any government programs I qualify for?
Armed with knowledge, you're ready to haggle for the best deal.
Tips for Keeping Credit Card Fraud Under Control
Ugh! You woke up after a late-night of dinner and drinks with friends. You drag yourself out of the house to grab some breakfast. You go to pay. And BAM! DECLINED! How did that happen? Are you sleepwalking to Bloomingdale's?
It's a real pain in the neck, but a lost or stolen card happens. Reporting that and getting a new card is a pretty simple process. The most important thing is making sure your credit isn't all messed up by some baddie with sticky fingers.
The key to preventing major credit damage is keeping an eye peeled for anything strange. Look over credit card statements when you get them. If you use online banking, go to your account once per week with the expressed purpose of going through purchases to make sure you're responsible for all of the transactions listed.
If you think something fishy is happening, act quickly. Contact the card issuer and the credit bureaus — Experian, TransUnion and Equifax. The bureaus can place an alert on your credit report, which will last 90 days or longer. This is a free and useful service. You can even ask for a credit freeze, which will stop anyone, including you, from getting credit in your name.
For your online shopping, look for "secure servers." Oftentimes we see these security guarantees on big sites like Amazon, PayPal, and Ticketmaster. It's just as important, if not more, to look for those advisories and the "s" ("secure") on the "https" in the URL of smaller sites you're unfamiliar with.
Unfortunately, you can't prevent everything. But being vigilant will save you a lot of headache down the line.

Clothing and shoes are a great start to your Halloween look, but be sure to finish things off with the perfect piece of costume jewelry. Different pieces of jewelry can create different vibes. Try your best to match your style of jewelry to your outfit's theme. Matching your bracelets and necklaces by decade is one of the easiest ways to find a good fit. Each fashion era has its own unique style and therefore has its own unique accessories.
he 1920s was a time for flapper girls with pearl necklaces and long pendant chains. A bejeweled headpiece is also a great choice for this decade. Moving on to the 50s, you can match a poodle skirt theme with pink and black plastic jewelry. Try on a pair of poodle earrings to match your skirt. The 1980s were full of neon colors and geometric designs, so brightly colored jelly bracelets and hoop earrings will be a hit at a decade party. Of course, if you travel way back in time you can find exotic jewelry choices from Egypt or Rome.
Decade theme pieces are fun, but other specific costume jewelry can create a great level of detail. Add red and black gothic jewelry to a vampire outfit for a sophisticated look. Beads and leather jewelry can create an American Indian costume or historic design. For holidays, a few colorful beaded necklaces will do the trick.

Village head man Tao Zhengrong was delighted when dozens of firms specialised in making car interiors set up a business hub in his village - until he had complaints that locals had no place to plant food.
But the enterprising mayor at Chengbei village, in Xinhe township at Wenling city, in east China's Zhejiang province, solved the problem by turning the factory roofs into mini rice fields.
He said: "Lots of people found work here so they could buy rice but some of the older people had nowhere to grow rice, so we tried it on the roof and it's been a great success.
"The roof is so high that you don't get insects up there so you don't need pesticides, and the water keeps the buildings cool in summer."
It took the mayor and helpers three days to put the earth on the roof needed for a 300 square feet field area located 60 foot up in the air.
Now other buildings are being added to the network and Tao added. "The only problem is getting the machine on the roof to harvest the rice, but other than that it's a great success."

Sequester Highlights Need to Prioritize Spending Last month, spending cuts took effect to reduce spending by $1.2 trillion over 10 years as agreed to in the Budget Control Act of 2011. These cuts, also known as the "sequester" were accompanied by dire warnings from President Obama and others about the catastrophic impacts reducing government spending would have on our economy and safety. Thankfully, these predictions have so far proven to be overstatements, and most Americans have seen little or no changes in their daily lives. I still believe there are smarter and more appropriate ways to reduce this level of spending from the federal budget and I remain concerned about future consequences of cutting in such an arbitrary fashion. This is why the House of Representatives has voted twice to replace the arbitrary sequester cuts with targeted reductions and reforms. The sequester has put a spotlight on government waste and reinvigorated the public debate on spending. When faced with a reduced budget, should an agency cut |

Health Care Update on Law's Third Anniversary It has now been more than three years since the controversial health care law was pushed through Congress and signed by President Obama. Since the law was passed premiums have increased, health care costs continue to rise, small businesses have been burdened, and the estimated price of the law continues to increase. Unfortunately, several recent reports and studies conclude the effects of the law are more painful than initially expected. A new economic report by the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office predicts 7 million people will lose their employer-sponsored health insurance – nearly twice the previous estimate of 4 million people. Those on the individual market could also lose the quality health care they currently enjoy because of increased premiums. Since 2008, premiums have increased by an average of $3,000. On top of these premium increases, Americans will face a number of new taxes on their health insurance. In addition to the individual and employer mandates |

We sat with our friends on the rooftop of their apartment building, a glorious display of fireworks exploding over our heads in the Jerusalem night sky. In the streets below, thousands of men, woman and children cheered and sang in joyous celebration. Children on roller-skates passed mischievous teens spraying colorful, plastic string on passers-by while Israeli's danced until dawn.
It was a night to be remembered and savored, one that only 50 years before seemed improbable. This was Yom Ha'atzmaut, Israel's Independence Day, in 1998.
It is 15 years since my family and I lived in Israel and celebrated her 50th birthday. But Israel at 50 was a very different Israel than the one we now know at 65.

Course Structure
Core modules
Core modules run in term 1: Culture and policy (worth 30 credits) runs for one day over ten weeks; Managing organisations (worth 15 credits) and Introduction to research (worth 15 credits) each run for half a day over ten weeks.
Culture and policy
This module defines and engages the meanings, practices, and interrelation of culture to cultural policy, management, and work. It focuses on culture, the state, capital, and labour; identifies key texts that are central to current debates; and introduces students to analytical and critical skills that are fundamental to working in the cultural sector. The contemporary context is set within a historical overview of the development of cultural theory and policy practice.
Managing organisations
The module aims to develop managers who will perform competently, if not competitively, in a changing environment. Given the risks that they face, crucial issues for anyone managing a cultural organisation today include sustainability, the ability to foster solid management systems and ensure the delivery of high quality and successful cultural product. These affect all aspects of the organization and its management. Strategic management requires that these are addressed through new forms of decision making, effective planning and ways of working.
Introduction to research
Cultural Managers are increasingly required to evaluate and justify the work that they do through the use of sophisticated research strategies. This module will equip students with a range of methodologies with which to carry out research and reflect on their own and others' practice. It will enable them to critique the claims made for the work of culture, and to design robust and effective research strategies. This module fulfils the University's commitment to provide opportunities for students to develop research skills, aptitudes and abilities.
Elective modules
Elective modules run in term 2 for one day, over five weeks.
The number of days you will spend at university depends on how many electives you take at the same time. For every day of teaching we expect two days research.
Audiences and marketing
This module introduces you to the knowledge and skills needed to consider the function of marketing in a creative and cultural organisation from a strategic perspective. In this module we explore the factors that influence arts/cultural consumption in its diverse forms and examine appropriate ways in which cultural and creative organisations market themselves effectively and productively.
Cultural policy and globalisation
This module defines and engages the meanings, practices, and interrelations of globalisation with cultural policy, management, and work. In other words, it focuses on culture, the state, capital, and labour; identifies key texts that are central to current debates; and introduces students to analytical and critical skills that are fundamental to working in the cultural sector. The module explains globalisation's success and power and accounts for its use of state resources. It also offers tools for analysing globalisation as a site of culture and examines culture as a crucial component of it.
Cultures of work
This module considers the place of work in our lives; examines how it has changed and is changing; and asks what we think its role should be. It examines contemporary cultures of work through different perspectives. It considers the emergence of various techniques in the management of people, including the development of the twin traditions of human resources and 'scientific management'. The module considers the way geographies and technologies of work are changing; the uses and abuses of emotion; and the relationship between work and personal identity. Drawing on practice and theory, guest speakers and the study of a wide range of literature, it provides a thorough grounding in understanding key techniques used in modern working life, and the issues facing both the cultural sector and contemporary cultures of work.
Digital cultures
Digital media are fundamentally re-scripting the relationship between cultural institutions and their users. Notions of producer and consumer, authorship and authenticity are being re-evaluated and explored in ways that are creative, experimental and infinite. This not only opens up new avenues of opportunity for audience development, but simultaneously calls into question the many practices of cultural consumption. This module explores the claims being made for so-called 'new' media in culture. Are they representative of a shift toward more democratic and participatory engagement? What happens to the when and where of this engagement? How is policy changing in order to reflect this paradigm shift? What are the implications for cultural managers?
Evaluation, politics and advocacy
No previous manifestation of cultural policy, particularly UK cultural policy, has been so resolute about the importance of outcomes and accountability. Funders in both the private and public sectors now look for what difference - or impact - projects and organisations are making, and they expect evaluations to evidence effective project delivery. However, 'evidence' will also be called upon to play a role of justification and persuasion in the development of policy/programmes; which often explains the political use of evaluation results (by players from all sides) for advocacy purposes. This module critically examines the context within which impact and evaluation develop and explores the design of evaluation and impact assessments and any relevant methodological issues.
This module critically examines the context within which impact, evaluation and monitoring form different perspectives. The module also explores the design and specification of impact assessments and evaluation and any relevant methodological issues as well as the constructive use of the results of evaluation.
Fundraising in and for the cultural sector
This module considers the full range of revenue sources available and explores effective approaches to making the case for support in different funding contexts. Students are encouraged to analyse different constituencies, and to develop a typology of communication approaches, including strategies directed at local, national and international government funds, trusts and foundations, the business sector and wider influential stakeholders.
Government and culture
Government has changed radically in line with social changes of the last 40 years. Specifically, governments have constructed a highly interventionist relationship with the cultural sector. Practitioners in the cultural sector need to understand the political economy within which the cultural sector functions, not least if they are to operate strategically and effectively. This module explores the rationale behind government funding to the cultural sector, the implementation of policies - through the workings of central and regional government agencies and local government - and their shaping of cultural provision.
Hollywood as a cultural enterprise
This module defines and engages the meanings, practices, and interrelations of Hollywood with cultural policy, management, and work. In other words, it focuses on culture, the state, capital, and labour; identifies key texts that are central to current debates; and introduces students to analytical and critical skills that are fundamental to working in the cultural sector. The contemporary context is set within an historical overview of the development of Hollywood. It explains Hollywood's success and power and accounts for its use of state resources. It also offers tools for analysing it as a site of work and looks at counter-strategies to its hegemony.
Professional work placement
The Professional Placement module gives students the opportunity to work in the cultural sector in order to practice skills acquired earlier in the programme. With guidance from the module leader, each student draws up their objectives for the placement and identifies potential placement hosts. This helps the student find an appropriate host organisation which fulfils their aims. Students carry out a programme of work supervised by a host at the organisation. The placement lasts for 6 weeks, between April and June. The majority of work placements are based in London and embrace all cultural forms.
This module gives you the opportunity to work alongside professionals in the cultural sector in order to practice competences acquired earlier in the programme. The module comprises of two parts: part one is the preparation for the placement; part two is the placement itself.
The placement lasts for 8 weeks, between March and June, is mainly based in London and embraces all cultural forms.
Public culture: the politics of participation
This module considers how politics, policy and practices have worked together to shape Public culture. The concept of 'public culture' refers to a government-funded cultural sector, but also to urban space, corporate-funded mass media and general 'shared meanings' in cultural circulation. We will discuss how exclusions have been made in these domains on a variety of grounds in overt and covert ways. We will analyse challenges to such exclusions through a range of actions: from alternative cultural constructions to educational outreach programmes. We consider the strategies and impact of such initiatives in depth, alongside the changing boundaries of 'public culture' itself, and the contemporary cultural moment.
Understanding financial accounts and entrepreneurship
All arts managers need the capacity to understand the financial management of their organisations, to inform business planning and improve their capacity to deliver effectively. In a climate in which cultural organisations increasingly depend on income from a number of sources, including self-generated income, they also need to be able to draw on entrepreneurial skills.
Communication, culture and development (Sociology)
This module provides a focus on development issues and communication studies. It provides a theoretical framework on the role of communication for and in development. It also introduces students to specific themes and case studies to assess development programmes in different countries. It considers conceptual frameworks for understanding and critically assessing the role of communication for and in development projects; development within the context of globalization; and critically assesses development programmes introduced in different regions.
Globalisation and the city (Sociology)
The module introduces a range of theoretically and historically informed analysis on the construction, communication and transformation of urban places. This will be done by considering the different ways in which places have been regulated, used, claimed and transformed by different social groups, and by exploring the possible impact that this might have on the identity of places.
Popular music and society (Music)
This module examines aspects of popular music in relation to the societies in which, and for which, it was created, as well as probing social responses to popular music. You will investigate the many complex relationships between popular music and society and the ways in which the two are inextricably linked, departing from the premise that understanding the social context is an integral part of understanding the phenomenon of popular music.
Rights, multiculturalism and citizenship (Sociology)
This module is focused on a critical assessment of controversies and debates about the relationship between rights, multiculturalism and citizenship in contemporary societies. It explores the development of ideas about multiculturalism and the consequences of policies that address issues of cultural diversity and considers the implications of multiculturalism for political and policy agendas. Drawing on conceptual debates and developments in specific societies we explore the different meanings attached to the notion of multiculturalism. Finally, the module reflects on the kinds of agendas that need to be developed in order to deal with the dilemmas raised by multiculturalism as a social and political issue.

Study Abroad
If you are a national of an European Economic Area member state or associated country you can choose to spend three months of the course studying culture, policy and management at one of our partner universities:
- Arhus University, Arhus, Denmark
- Hochschule fur Musik, Hamburg, Germany
- Groningen University, Netherlands
- University of Barcelona, Spain
This is a wonderful opportunity to experience and compare the cultural life and culture, policy and management issues of a second country, enabling you to establish European links that can offer you social and professional advantages in future years. All the students who have taken part in this scheme have reported on the value of the experience. They have made friends, have studied a different subject or the same subject from a different perspective, or have undertaken research for their course work at City.
Above all, they have gained an alternative perspective, an enlarged set of contacts and a better knowledge of working across borders and boundaries. Many eventually work with funding agencies, with international agencies, with the British Council or with arts organisations that want to develop international links.Funds from the European Union's SOCRATES scheme are available to assist with the additional costs of study in another country, and City University London's Centre for Language Studies provides short courses in some European languages to help prepare you for your time away.
If you would like to spend your three months studying in a different country or at a different institution to those listed above, we have an extensive network of partners in countries as diverse as the US and Canada, the Czech Republic, Italy, Poland and western Russia. These partners are outside the SOCRATES/ERASMUS scheme and are not part of a funded programme, but provide the opportunity for you to experience exactly the country or course of your choice.

The Professional work placement (elective) module gives you the opportunity to work in the cultural sector in order to practice skills acquired earlier in the programme. With guidance from the module leader, you draw up your objectives for the placement and identify potential placement hosts. This helps you find an appropriate host organisation which fulfils your aims.
You carry out a programme of work supervised by a host at the organisation. The placement lasts for 6 weeks, between April and June. The majority of work placements are based in London and embrace all cultural forms. Past placement hosts have included, for example, the Southbank Centre, Tate Modern, IMG Artists, LIFT, Business of Culture (consultancy), Motiroti, British Museum, Unicorn Theatre, Jerwood Space, London Fashion Week, The Philharmonia, Arts Council England, British Film Institute, Artichoke, Craft Central, Barbican, Sadler's Wells Theatre, Flow gallery, Vortex Jazz Club, Secret Cinema.
Past placement hosts said the following:
- The Theatre Royal Stratford East said of the placement student: "Her background in terms of her course was incredibly valuable when thinking about how an engagement project like Open Stage would work, and could relate the aims of the project to cultural policy."
- The Akram Khan Company said the placement student "has been so helpful and initiated such important projects for us, such as a sponsorship leaflet and the renewal of our website, that we have decided to employ her until October 2010 to give her time to see these projects through."
- The Poetry Society said the CPM student "really got us to think about the way in which we plan and manage projects, encouraging us to take a step back from what we are doing and take more time with our planning. We also talked a great deal about the overall vision of the Poetry Society and about ways in which we can convey this to the public. It has been incredibly helpful having her here."
- The British Library said their placement student was "certainly one of the best interns we have ever had in our team. We are eternally grateful for the hard work and dedication she put into her work and for making her stay in our team a very pleasant one on all fronts. We were sad to see her go!"
