ONEin3 Presents Public Art Happiness Project in Copley Square
ONEin3 Presents Public Art Happiness Project in Copley Square
ONEin3 Council asks residents and visitors what they love about the city
BOSTON – The 2014 ONEin3 Council is asking Bostonians to participate in a "Public Art Happiness Project" in Copley Square on Saturday, July 19. From 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM, council members will ask passers-by to fill in the statement “We are Boston. Boston is____.” The phrase will appear on a large painted board and each participant will write in their unique answer on an IdeaPaint surface. Once the answer is recorded, it will be erased for the next person to write in their response.
Participants will be asked for their age, neighborhood and hometown. The process will be video-taped and photographed in order to capture each response. The group will produce a time-lapse video to illustrate the variety of responses and diversity of participants.
“Our goal is to capture Boston’s sprit in a fun and visually-appealing way,” said ONEin3 Boston Manager Chloe Ryan. “This project combines people’s enthusiasm for Boston with their passion for public art.”
ONEin3 will partner with local nonprofit YouthBuild Boston (YBB) and IdeaPaint to design and construct the display board. YBB members will also be present on Saturday to help encourage participation in the project.
“We are extremely excited about the way in which the Mayor’s ONEin3 Council is going to activate the community of Boston and curate feedback through a public art piece,” said Jeff Avallon, VP of Corporate Development, IdeaPaint. “IdeaPaint is all about collaboration and this is a perfect example of the city coming together in a fun way to celebrate what Boston is all about.”
波士頓浙大校友夏日遊喬治島
參加活動的浙大校友,當天上船後,感受海風微醺,欣賞目不暇接的美景,盤點各自在波士頓的點點滴滴,談論彼此的學習、工作和生活,將近四十分鐘的輪渡,竟然一晃眼就到了。
上了喬治島後,先抵達島南端的海牆(Sea Wall),一夥人躺陽在海鷗飛翔、鴨子浮水,海天一線的美景中,霎時忘卻所有煩惱。
喬治島上最值得遊覽的是美國內戰沃倫堡,鳥瞰時,形狀有如美國國防部的五角大樓。
島上的中央草坪是娛樂活動的好地方。浙大校友們在這玩起足球、桌遊,推車輪等遊戲,還有人三三兩兩的環遊堡壘,邊欣賞風景,邊拍照。
郊遊結束前,參加活動的校友們一齊在草坪上擺出了“ZJU”字樣,聊表對母校浙江大學的懷想,感念。

波士頓市雙語選票即起永久有效
派區克說,保護居民投票權,是好政府的基本條件。這法案將容許更多麻州居民在選舉日那天發聲。
麻州參議員安東尼,裴楚西里(Anthony
Petruccelli)也稱讚華埠社區,坦言他從陳翟蘇妮(Sonia Chang Diaz)那兒接管波士頓華埠社區以來,推動雙語選票也是優先要務。他笑說人們不會相信,過去這三週以來,為了雙語選票一事,他和麥家威通話次數有多頻繁。
波士頓市議會議長林乃肯(Bill Linehan)昨日代表波市議會發言,指出雙語選票法案從波士頓市家規法(
Home Rule petiton),搖身變成州法,是波市議會歷屆議員努力的結果,包括約翰康納利(John
Connolly),小阿若約(Felix Arroyo),都有功勞。
華埠居民會的共同主席余仕昂,梅陳月嫦;華人前進會的名譽主席李素影,共同主席湯建華,行政主任駱理德等人昨日全都獲邀站在麻州州長身後,見證法案簽署,笑容滿面的每個人還都獲得一隻簽署法案用筆作紀念。
州長辦公室指出,這法案是由麻州眾議員麥家威(Aaron Michlewitz)代表波士頓市提出的家規法,規定麻州州務卿須在麻州辦理州及聯邦層級的選舉時,必須特別為波士頓市印製雙語選票。該法案也規定,波士頓市選務局須為波市的所有選舉,印製雙語選票。波市選務局將根據聯邦人口統計數據,市府記錄,以及其他資料來決定,哪一個投票區需要印製雙語選票,但凡在語言上屬於少數族裔,且英語流利程度有限的人口超過該區總人口5%,就必須在選舉時印製雙語選票。
該法案也規定提供音譯。但凡候選人的姓名是英文,或不是傳統上用中文書寫的語言時,就由相關的,發音類似的中文字來代表。
每名候選人都將拿到一份姓名譯音建議,並有七天的時間考慮,再以書面通知回答是否要修改音譯,或決定是否要翻譯他們的姓名。

麻州波士頓雙語選票法案主要內容
永久性雙語法案主要內容:
麻州州長亞美顧問委員會副主席李超榮為幫助社區了解州長簽署通過的雙語法案內容,特地截取出其中的重要條文,並說明有意查看原文者,可上網
雙語法案中比較重要的第二段為,儘管麻州總法第54章第40節,或者其他的總法,特別法和此相反,麻州州務卿必須在依法需準備的其他雙語選票之外,在波士頓市內指定地點,為聯邦,州級的選舉準備中英,越英的雙語選票
波士頓市選務局需在波士頓市內指定地點,為所有的波士頓市初選,大選,準備中英,越英的雙語選票。
凡是選區內說某種語言,英語程度有限的少數族裔, 達到投票區人口的5%時,就須印製中英,越英,雙語選票。波士頓市選務局可藉由聯邦統計局最近的人口普查數據,市府記錄,關於索要雙語選票的記錄,以及其他的人口地理資訊,包括姓氏名單等數據,做決定。
波士頓選務局將決定應提供多少雙語選票給市內的各個投票站,並在聯邦及州級選舉時,依照麻州州務卿指定的日期,通知應該印製的雙語選票數量。在任何初選或大選之前三十天,選務局需通知波市選舉顧問委員會,任何非牟利機構或宣傳組織已向該局登記,將向相關語言的少數族裔社區提供通知。
