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.

This stunning open-ended text is a philosophical exploration of the culture of work but also of society. It traverses themes such as belonging, alien- ation, corporate bureaucracy and work, difference and prejudice, sub- mission to control/freedom, transformation/metamorphosis, resurrection and regeneration. Shaun Tan’s publisher describes the book as: ‘A dream of escape, a com- mentary on corporate slavery, a multi-layered allegory—Shaun has taken the humble cicada and created a mythic fairytale of magic, menace and wonder.’ Justin Ratcliffe, co-managing Director, Hachette B&P 15 November 2017 Shaun Tan is partly concerned here with Kafka’s nightmare of bureaucra- cy which, like many other concepts swirls together in a tantalising soup of ideas. -
Ethics, Edible Insects and Sustainable Food Choice in Schools Verity Jones* University of the West of England, Bristol, UK
British Educational Research Journal Vol. 46, No. 4, August 2020, pp. 894–908 DOI: 10.1002/berj.3655 ‘Just don’t tell them what’s in it’: Ethics, edible insects and sustainable food choice in schools Verity Jones* University of the West of England, Bristol, UK Supporting young people with global crises mitigation strategies is essential, yet loaded with ethical dilemmas for the educator. This study explores whether young people will make ethical decisions regarding the sustainability of food choice in schools, and based on the processes identified, what educators’ needs are in supporting transformative learning. This study is the first of its kind, where young people under the age of 14 have been tasting edible insects and discussing their role in a more sustainable diet. The article draws on mixed-method research with over 180 young people and their teachers in three schools in Wales and examines responses to a possible introduction of edible insects into school canteens. Highlighted is the complexity of sustainable food choices—likely to be identifiable with other young people and educators in western countries. The article considers how educators and policy makers may need to frame routes to positive sustainable action and the associ- ated impacts these may have on personal, social, political and environmental spheres. Keywords: edible insects; ethics; pedagogy; sustainability Introduction It is estimated that half of the planet’s surface considered habitable to plants is now being used for agriculture. Sarilo (2018) notes that 45% of this is being used for food that goes directly to humans, while a further 33% is for food to feed animals that will be slaughtered for human consumption. -

MARSHALL1 & KATHY B. R. HILL Dept. of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Connecticut, 75 N. Eagleville Rd., Storrs, CT 06269 USA 1Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A morphologically cryptic subspecies of Neotibicen similaris (Smith and Grossbeck) is described from forests of the Apalachicola region of the southeastern United States. Although the new form exhibits a highly distinctive male calling song, it hybridizes extensively where it meets populations of the nominate subspecies in parapatry, by which it is nearly surrounded. This is the first reported example of hybridization between North American nonperiodical cicadas. Acoustic and morphological characters are added to the original description of the nominate subspecies, and illustrations of com- plex hybrid song phenotypes are presented. The biogeography of N. similaris is discussed in light of historical changes in forest composition on the southeastern Coastal Plain. Key words: Acoustic behavior, sexual signals, hybridization, hybrid zone, parapatric distribution, speciation Introduction The cryptotympanine cicadas of North America have received much recent attention with the publication of comprehensive molecular and cladistic phylogenies and the reassignment of all former North American Tibicen Latreille species into new genera (Hill et al. -

Also, there are three periodical cicada.

Two races of the periodical cicada exist. One race has a life cycle of 13 years and is common in the southeastern In Tennessee, Brood XIX of the 13-year cicada had a United States. The other race has a life cycle of 17 years spectacular emergence in 2011 (Map 1). In 2004 and and is generally more northern in distribution.
