Skate 101
Skate 101 is a system to help people learn to roller skate and is the brainchild of Jen "Jenny Jen" Goldstein based on her realization that beginner roller skaters make mistakes which can easily be prevented. With a motto like, “Save ya ass, take a class!” Goldstein put together rhymes that included how-to instructions for her students. Paired with the one-man band, Taki76, the two formed Phat Sk8trax and churned out a number of tracks, including “The Boogie Back Rap,” which became the top ten single of the year in The Village Voice. The Boogie Back is the world’s only “how to skate backwards song.” They can be heard on the radio, in skating rinks and clubs throughout the world.
History
Goldstein grew up in Gainesville, Florida. Although roller skating was a favorite childhood sport, it wasn’t until a trip to New York City in 1989 that Goldstein became hooked on rolling around town. After skating a loop through Central Park, Goldstein purchased a pair of roller skates and became a self-taught skating junkie. Skating influenced several aspects of her life, including her career at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, where Goldstein used her skates to get around town during the 1998 SEPTA (Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority) strike. Goldstein even convinced her professor to allow her to write her thesis – titled “The Development of a Product: In-line Skating” on the activity. After graduation, Goldstein became a certified skate instructor and opened Philadelphia’s first and only skate school.

Woman
A woman is a female human. The term woman is usually reserved for an adult, with the term girl being the usual term for a female child or adolescent. The term woman is also sometimes used to identify a female human, regardless of age, as in phrases such as "women's rights". "Woman" may also refer to a person's gender identity. Women with typical genetic development are usually capable of giving birth from puberty until menopause. In the context of gender identity, transgender people who are biologically determined to be male and identify as women cannot give birth. Some intersex people who identify as women cannot give birth due to either sterility or inheriting one or more Y chromosomes. In extremely rare cases, people who have Swyer syndrome can give birth with medical assistance. Throughout history women have assumed or been assigned various social roles.
Etymology
The spelling of woman in English has progressed over the past millennium from wīfmann to wīmmann to wumman, and finally, the modern spelling woman. In Old English, wīfmann meant "female human", whereas wēr meant "male human". Mann or monn had a gender-neutral meaning of "human", corresponding to Modern English "person" or "someone"; however, subsequent to the Norman Conquest, man began to be used more in reference to "male human", and by the late 13th century had begun to eclipse usage of the older term wēr. The medial labial consonants f and m in wīfmann coalesced into the modern form "woman", while the initial element, which meant "female", underwent semantic narrowing to the sense of a married woman ("wife"). It is a popular misconception that the term "woman" is etymologically connected with "womb", which is from a separate Old English word, wambe meaning "stomach" (of male or female; modern German retains the colloquial term "Wampe" from Middle High German for "potbelly"). Nevertheless, such a false derivation of "woman" has appeared in print.
Women (album)
Women is the debut album by Calgary band Women, recorded by fellow Calgary-native Chad VanGaalen. It was released in 2008 on VanGaalen's Flemish Eye record label in Canada, and on Jagjaguwar in the US. The song "Sag Harbour Song" is a direct reference to the suicide of the artist Ray Johnson, like "Locust Valley" and "Venice Lockjaw" on Women's second album of 2010, Public Strain.
Recording
Women was recorded by Polaris Music Prize-nominated Chad VanGaalen, in "[VanGaalen's] basement, an outdoor culvert and a crawlspace." It was recorded using boom boxes and tape machines, contributing to its lo-fi sound.
Reception
Women was released to favourable reviews, with Cokemachineglow naming it as "the best 'indie rock' record released [in 2008], hands down."
