Trial Want 19 Women to Testify Bill Cosby made his first court appearance of the #MeToo era this D.I.V.A.’s Trek Downtown Miles week as defense lawyers tried without success to get his sexual assault case thrown out, then turned their attention to blocking some of the 80- for Domestic Violence Awareness year-old comedian’s dozens of accusers from testifying at his retrial. Prosecutors are trying to persuade the judge to allow as many as 19 other women to take the stand, including model Janice Dickinson, as they attempt to show the comedian had a long history of drugging and attacking women. Allowing other women to take the stand will show jurors that Cosby “systematically engaged in a signature pattern of providing an intoxi- cant to his young female victim and then sexually assaulting her when she became incapacitated,” Assistant District Attorney Adrienne D. Jappe told the judge. Cosby’s lawyers have argued in writing that some of the women’s alle- gations date to the 1960s and are impossible to defend against, given that some witnesses are dead, memories are faded and evidence has been lost. The judge allowed just one other accuser to take the stand at Cosby’s first trial last year, barring any mention of about 60 others who have come forward to accuse Cosby in recent years.

  • Daylight Saving Time (DST)
    Daylight Saving Time (DST) Updated September 30, 2020 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R45208 Daylight Saving Time (DST) Summary Daylight Saving Time (DST) is a period of the year between spring and fall when clocks in most parts of the United States are set one hour ahead of standard time. DST begins on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November. The beginning and ending dates are set in statute. Congressional interest in the potential benefits and costs of DST has resulted in changes to DST observance since it was first adopted in the United States in 1918. The United States established standard time zones and DST through the Calder Act, also known as the Standard Time Act of 1918. The issue of consistency in time observance was further clarified by the Uniform Time Act of 1966. These laws as amended allow a state to exempt itself—or parts of the state that lie within a different time zone—from DST observance. These laws as amended also authorize the Department of Transportation (DOT) to regulate standard time zone boundaries and DST. The time period for DST was changed most recently in the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPACT 2005; P.L. 109-58). Congress has required several agencies to study the effects of changes in DST observance. In 1974, DOT reported that the potential benefits to energy conservation, traffic safety, and reductions in violent crime were minimal. In 2008, the Department of Energy assessed the effects to national energy consumption of extending DST as changed in EPACT 2005 and found a reduction in total primary energy consumption of 0.02%.

  • Place Studies on Tourism and Identity in Modern South Carolina
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: SOMBREROS AND MOTORCYCLES: PLACE STUDIES ON TOURISM AND IDENTITY IN MODERN SOUTH CAROLINA Paula Nicole King, Doctor of Philosophy, 2008 Directed By: Professor Mary Corbin Sies, Department of American Studies This dissertation examines the rise of tourism as an important social and economic force in the U.S. South through place studies of tourist sites in South Carolina. The roadside attraction South of the Border and the historically black town of Atlantic Beach are analyzed as touriscapes that provide historical narratives foregrounding the connections between place and southern identity in the modern era. Touriscapes are defined as places where perspectives overlap and identities intersect to produce spaces of serious cultural and historical significance as well as recreation and fun. Both of these touriscapes were enacted as tourism developed and Jim Crow segregation began to crumble, and they have survived into the twenty-first century. They are sites of commercial development, resistance, and political strife that should be studied, engaged, and preserved for future generations to better understand the complexity of southern history, culture, and identity.

  • More States Moving to Keep Daylight Saving Time Permanent | Old Farmer's Almanac
    3/19/2021 More States Moving to Keep Daylight Saving Time Permanent | Old Farmer's Almanac MORE STATES MOVING TO KEEP DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME PERMANENT PLUS, DST IS NOT FOR FARMERS! By Catherine Boeckmann March 10, 2021 M.Vich/Shutterstock Last week, a group of bipartisan senators reintroduced the Sunshine Protection Act, legislation that would make Daylight Saving Time (DST) permanent across the country. This push to end the practice of clock- changing twice a year has been gaining momentum the past few years. Here’s the latest news on the time change. Daylight Saving Time (DST) begins on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November in the U.S. and Canada. In March, we “spring” forward and set clocks forward one hour. In November, we “fall” back and set clocks back one hour. Learn more about When Daylight Saving Time Begins and Ends. It’s a popular myth that Daylight Saving Time exists for farmers. This practice—which only became regular in 1966, suprisingly enough—was actually challenged by farmers and is being increasingly challenged by modern society today. The reasons that DST was started (as a wartime effort over a century ago) are now antiquated and many Americans find the twice-a-year “time change” makes little sense. In addition, there are many studies that show thSeu pnpegoartive impact of biannual time changes and the benefits of a year-round Daylight Saving Time.
