    Sogni Rubatirubati

    SogniSogni RubatiRubati © Di Jeff Hawkins, 2008. Tratto da http://counterfeitdreams.blogspot.com/ Traduzione in italiano © Simonetta Po per “Allarme Scientology” www.allarmescientology.it , 2009 Prefazione del traduttore Jeff Hawkins è stato staff della Chiesa di Scientology per 35 anni, la maggioranza dei quali in Sea Org. Per tutta la sua carriera si è occupato di promozione e marketing, ha tra l'altro lavorato, curato e diretto le riviste interne e ha progettato e lanciato alcune tra le campagne pubblicitarie di maggior successo della Chiesa di Scientology. Ha lavorato a Pubs WW a Edimburgo, partecipato al trasferimento a Copenhagen di quella che sarebbe diventata la New Era Publications, concluso la carriera a Golden Era Productions oltre a collaborazioni con Bridge Publications e ASI (Author Services Inc.) Il suo è un racconto dettagliato della vita di staff e mostra la schizofrenia delle decine e decine di organizzazioni Scientology, la loro farraginosa burocrazia, il complicato organigramma. Parla dell'indifferenza verso il vero merito del lavoro svolto, della follia delle "statistiche", di come venga premiata l'obbedienza piuttosto che la creatività e il buon senso, spesso messo da parte per compiacere i capi di turno. E di come, in definitiva, a vincere sia sempre l'ottusità, in quello che dovrebbe invece essere il regno per eccellenza della razionalità (caratteristica dell'Essere "chiarito" con la "tecnologia" di Hubbard) e dell'intelligenza al suo massimo livello. Ciononostante quello di Hawkins è un racconto pacato e sereno che non scade mai nel vittimismo, ma nemmeno nell'apologia. Con Hawkins si ripercorrono quattro decenni fondamentali per la storia della Chiesa di Scientology: gli anni della costituzione della Sea Org come organizzazione veramente "del mare", imbarcata sulla piccola flotta privata del "Commodoro".

    Undermining Black Enterprise with Land Use Rules

    CLOWNEY.DOC 7/10/2009 2:12 PM INVISIBLE BUSINESSMAN: UNDERMINING BLACK ENTERPRISE WITH LAND USE RULES Stephen Clowney* Rates of self-employment in African-American neighborhoods remain feeble. Although the reasons behind the failure of black busi- nesses are complex, zoning regulations play a largely unexamined role in constraining the development of African-American enterpris- es. Land use fees, municipal zoning board decisions, and the general insistence on separating residential from commercial uses all impress unique and disproportionate harms on African-American merchants, making it difficult to find affordable business space in suitable loca- tions. Moreover, current attempts to reorganize the land use system are inadequate to solve the problems facing black businesspeople. A complete rolling back of zoning laws is impractical and unnecessary, while attempts to promote street vending or home-based business run aground on the objections of local homeowners. Instead of pursuing these failed strategies, municipal governments should create programs that transfer abandoned buildings to fledgling merchants of the inner city. This new land use policy could spark a revival of urban entre- preneurship and help restore crumbling neighborhoods to their for- mer glory. Unlike other proposals to reform zoning laws, transfer- ring vacant government-owned land unites the interests of businesspeople, homeowners, and local governments. Inner-city merchants receive the space they need to foster new business ideas. Local homeowners rid themselves of the scourge of empty buildings. Finally, municipalities generate new revenue by returning unproduc- tive buildings to the tax rolls. INTRODUCTION At the start of the twenty-first century, land use reform is the most underexamined method of restoring the economic vitality of central ci- ∗ Assistant Professor of Law, University of Kentucky.

    THE IMAGE OF AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMEN AS PRESENTED BY AMERICAN MASS MEDIA AND POPULAR CULTURE: INTERPRETATIONS BY URBAN AFRICAN AMERICAN ADOLESCENT FEMALES REGARDING THEIR LIFE CHANCES, LIFE CHOICES, AND SELF-ESTEEM By Pamela Rose Smith A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Sociology - Doctor of Philosophy 2014 ABSTRACT THE IMAGE OF AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMEN AS PRESENTED BY AMERICAN MASS MEDIA AND POPULAR CULTURE: INTERPRETATIONS BY URBAN AFRICAN AMERICAN ADOLESCENT FEMALES REGARDING THEIR LIFE CHANCES, LIFE CHOICES, AND SELF-ESTEEM By Pamela Rose Smith The aim of this study was to investigate the image of African American women in popular culture and gain an understanding of how those images are interpreted by urban African American adolescent girls (N=40) between the ages of 13-19 years old. Black magazine covers and hip-hop/rap music videos that display images of African American women were viewed by the participants. Questions were asked of the girls that explored whether popular culture media images of African American women affect the interpretation of their self-esteem, choices they make, and future chances in life. Specifically, I sought to understand: 1) Do images of African American women shown in popular culture influence the interpretation of life chances and life choices of urban African American adolescent girls, and if so, how?; and 2) Whether portrayals of African American women in popular culture influence the interpretation of the self-esteem of urban African American adolescent girls. A mixed method research process was used to gather data that represents the participants’ perspectives.

    March 16, 2020 Councilmember David Ryu Councilmember Marqueece Harris-Dawson Councilmember Curren Price Councilmember Herb Wesson Los Angeles City Hall 200 N. Spring Street Los Angeles, CA 90012 Re: Request for Motion and Unanimous Passage for Neighborhood Council Funding Rollover to Fiscal Year 2020-2021 Dear Councilmembers Ryu, Harris-Dawson, Price and Wesson, We truly are witnessing one of the most sweeping crisis of our time. I am asking for your assistance on an immediate basis with a neighborhood council matter. Many neighborhood councils, including the one I preside over, have cancelled meetings and events in co-operation with our City’s COVID-19 containment strategies. I am deeply concerned over how this change in the rules of engagement will impact funding initiatives in the respective communities and the ability to return to business as usual seamlessly. What can be done to ensure that this interruption isn’t disruptive to future neighborhood council endeavors? One answer is to allow NC’s to rollover all of the fiscal year 2019- 2020 funding to the following fiscal year. This will afford us the opportunity to continue to produce meaningful community events and award neighborhood purpose grants that may not come to fruition. Because we cannot conduct business as usual so close to the end of our fiscal year, my request is simply that one, or all of you, file a motion that orders the City Clerk to allow all 99 neighborhood councils to roll over all unspent 2019-2020 fiscal year funds into fiscal year 2020-2021. Second, I am requesting that City Council pass this motion unanimously and immediately.

    Economic Development

    ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT MOTION Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, grocery workers in the City of Los Angeles have continued to report to work and serve their communities, despite the ongoing hazards and danger of being exposed to the novel coronavirus. Because of the work of these essential grocery workers, families throughout the City have had access to the food they need during this pandemic. However, the pandemic is far from over and with increased case rates, the health threats that grocery workers face are even greater now than when this crisis began. These essential grocery workers cannot choose to work from home - they must come in to work to do their jobs, which involves substantial interaction with customers. Workers are wearing masks, social distancing, and constantly wiping down cash registers, food conveyor belts and shopping carts in order to protect the public health. Additionally, these workers are continuously working to restock items that households desperately need like toilet paper, cleaning supplies and other essentials. These workers are staying inside with large crowds every day under ventilation systems that could be spreading the novel coronavirus. This puts these essential grocery workers in a position where they must live with the daily fear of not only contracting the virus but also bringing it home to their families. The number of COVID-19 clusters within the grocery industry in the City of Los Angeles continues to rise significantly. The health threat that these grocery workers face cannot be overstated - recent studies before the current surge report grocery workers to be 5 times more likely to test positive.
