  • February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers In
    February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES. In solidarity and support, Megan Abbott (DARE ME) Chris Abbott (LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE; CAGNEY AND LACEY; MAGNUM, PI; HIGH SIERRA SEARCH AND RESCUE; DR.

  • We Write Dramas, Comedies, and Other Narratives for Television, Movie Theaters, and Online Companies Like Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Hulu Plus
    We write dramas, comedies, and other narratives for television, movie theaters, and online companies like Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Hulu Plus. The characters and stories we craft entertain and inform millions of people around the world, and our productions employ tens of thousands of New Yorkers. For many years, leaders in the entertainment industry and in government have recognized the need to make our ranks more diverse and inclusive, to ensure that our stories and our employment practices mirror the society, and the state, in which we do our work. The time for studies, training programs and speeches has passed and the time to take meaningful action has arrived. A bill overwhelmingly approved by the State Senate and Assembly would create real opportunities for women and people of color to write and direct television in New York. If this bill becomes law, New York will be the place where progressive ideals intersect with workable solutions, a place that goes beyond talk to create meaningful change and real jobs. We strongly support S.5864A (Jackson)/A. 6683A (Crespo) and we urge the honorable Governor Cuomo to sign it into law.

  • Of Covenants and Conflicts- When "I Do" Means More Than It Used To, but Less Than You Thought
    Of Covenants and Conflicts- When "I Do" Means More Than It Used To, But Less Than You Thought JASON ANDREW MACKE* Louisiana's recent passage of a "covenant marriage" law is the first successful attack on the no-fault divorce revolution ofthe Seventies. The law has been championed by supporters as a return to marriages that matter and attacked by detractors as a draconian interference in the private lives of Louisiana's citizens. This Note gives a detailed analysis of the law and concludes that the politicaluproar surrounding the law has obscured the purely legal issues raisedby its passage. This Note addresses several legal arguments againstthe law and concludes that its major flaw lies in its failure to take into account basic conflicts of law principles. The oversight proves to be one that renders the law ineffective in many situations. I. INTRODUCTION Even if marriage has never been easy, it has usually been simple-that is, when two people get married, it is generally understood that they are bound together not only by their vows to each other, but also by the laws of their state. Occasionally, though, things get more complicated-especially when there are questions about the legality of the marriage. In the past, those questions have usually centered on problems of validity-for example, if Jerry Lee and his thirteen-year-old third cousin marry1 in one state, and that marriage would have been illegal under the laws of another state, is the marriage valid? In such cases, courts have generally held that if the marriage was valid when performed and legal in the state where performed, it should be deemed valid in all other states, even if it could never have been performed in those states.

  • Assessment of Learning Outcomes
    STANDARD 9 ASSESSMENT OF LEARNING OUTCOMES The ultimate outcome: Students launch creative and meaningful careers HIGHLIGHTS The school assesses undergraduate student learning through two direct measures (senior examination and aggregate internship evaluations) and three indirect measures (student surveys, student awards and alumni survey). Assessment has led to the addition of culminating courses in each major, a stronger emphasis on research, creation of a student agency, and enhanced career services. Significant student achievements nationally include a 2009 Pacemaker Award for the student newspaper, the 2011 collegiate Emmy for best student television newscast, and third in the nation for the school’s Bateman public relations team in 2011. The M.A. program assesses student learning through three direct measures (e-portfolio evaluations, team project evaluations and an end-of-program exam) and two indirect measures (exit interviews and graduate employment). 1. Provide the unit’s definition of goals for learning that students must achieve. If this definition is incorporated into the plan for assessment, a page reference will suffice. The Elon Eleven is the school’s distinctive way of expressing ACEJMC’s values and competencies. Each concept in the Elon Eleven has a specific learning outcome, and these learning outcomes are listed on the following pages. The Assessment Plan immediately follows, specifying how the unit uses direct and indirect measures to assess whether student learning is occurring as the faculty intends. The undergraduate

There is a subtle difference between “to charm” and “to seduce.” The need for fame, glory, power, money, or other objects of affection drives antagonists so blindly that they’ve no hope of regaining a consciousness about their actions. If and when they do become aware, they infrequently feel remorse.
