This is the first time ever that Kuwait sets a minimum wage for laborers in the private sector. The move apparently comes in line with demands from international rights organizations. The decision means that the lowest salary that can be given to laborers in the private sector should be KD 75. Laborers who are paid less than this salary can sue their employers. The measure comes after the Interior Ministry last year set a minimum wage of KD 60 for domestic helpers. The amount must be mentioned in the work contract. According to the minister’s decision, the new BANDA ACEH: Indonesian Muslims pray at a mosque in Banda Aceh during the wage limit applies to new or renewed work permits and holy month of Ramadan. — AFP contracts both in the private and oil sectors.

  • The Making of Hollywood Production: Televising and Visualizing Global Filmmaking in 1960S Promotional Featurettes
    The Making of Hollywood Production: Televising and Visualizing Global Filmmaking in 1960s Promotional Featurettes by DANIEL STEINHART Abstract: Before making-of documentaries became a regular part of home-video special features, 1960s promotional featurettes brought the public a behind-the-scenes look at Hollywood’s production process. Based on historical evidence, this article explores the changes in Hollywood promotions when studios broadcasted these featurettes on television to market theatrical films and contracted out promotional campaigns to boutique advertising agencies. The making-of form matured in the 1960s as featurettes helped solidify some enduring conventions about the portrayal of filmmaking. Ultimately, featurettes serve as important paratexts for understanding how Hollywood’s global production work was promoted during a time of industry transition. aking-of documentaries have long made Hollywood’s flm production pro- cess visible to the public. Before becoming a staple of DVD and Blu-ray spe- M cial features, early forms of making-ofs gave audiences a view of the inner workings of Hollywood flmmaking and movie companies. Shortly after its formation, 20th Century-Fox produced in 1936 a flmed studio tour that exhibited the company’s diferent departments on the studio lot, a key feature of Hollywood’s detailed division of labor. Even as studio-tour short subjects became less common because of the restructuring of studio operations after the 1948 antitrust Paramount Case, long-form trailers still conveyed behind-the-scenes information. In a trailer for The Ten Commandments (1956), director Cecil B. DeMille speaks from a library set and discusses the importance of foreign location shooting, recounting how he shot the flm in the actual Egyptian locales where Moses once walked (see Figure 1).

  • Hottest N.J. Primary Features a Kennedy Vs. a Pundit for Right to Face Party-Switching Trump Fan
    Set Weather Subscribe Politics Hottest N.J. primary features a Kennedy vs. a pundit for right to face party-switching Trump fan Posted Jun 25, 10:45 AM The race between Brigid Harrison, left and Amy Kennedy, right, has shined a spotlight on the race the 2nd Congressional district seat. Reliable local news matters. 0 shares By Jonathan D. Salant | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com South Jersey’s 2nd Congressional District was already expected to feature one of the nation’s hottest congressional races. That’s because angry Democrats promised an all-out fight against rookie Rep. Jeff Van Drew, who switched to the Republican Party after refusing to back Donald Trump’s impeachment and then pledged his “undying support” for the president. Political pundit Brigid Callahan Harrison, a Montclair State University political science professor, quickly lined up the backing of six county chairs and state Senate President Stephen Sweeney, D-Gloucester, and entered the race. Then Amy Kennedy, wife of former Rep. Patrick Kennedy, D-R.I., and the most recent candidate from the iconic political family, also jumped in the July 7 Democratic primary. So there’s indeed a street fight in this district — a few months early. “I don’t think this primary would get as much attention if there wasn’t someone named Kennedy in it,” said Nathan Gonzales, editor and publisher of Inside Elections, which rated Van Drew as a slight favorite for re- election. Kennedy used campaign donations from her family to help surpass Callahan Harrison in campaign contributions, $566,253 to $158,345, through March 31.

Presented as part Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA, a far-reaching and ambitious exploration of Latin American and Latino art in dialogue with Los Angeles, this massive exhibition fills MCASD’s downtown galleries with more than 400 works by 50 artists in 8 different countries. The exhibition examines the ways in which Latin American artists from the 1960s to the 1980s responded to the unraveling of the utopian promise of modernization after World War II. In the immediate postwar period, artists had eagerly embraced the “transition to modernity,” creating a new abstract geometric language meant to capture its idealistic possibilities. As modernization failed, and political oppression and brutal military dictatorships followed, avant-garde artists increasingly abandoned abstraction and sought new ways to connect with the public, engaging directly with communities and often incorporating popular strategies from film, theater, and architecture into their work. Memories of Underdevelopment: Art and the Decolonial Turn in Latin America, 1960-1985 is the first significant survey exhibition of these crucial decades and will highlight the work not only of well-known artists , MUSEUM such as Hélio Oiticica and Lygia Pape but also lesser-known artists from Colombia, Peru, Chile, and Uruguay.

    Look for Primaries to Be No Holds Barred in NJ’s 2nd and 3rd Districts IAN T. SHEARN | JUNE 25, 2020 | PRIMARY 2020, POLITICS It’s already gotten ugly between Democratic hopefuls in the 2nd Congressional District; it’s no better between GOP contenders in the 3rd Top row, L to R: Democratic challengers in the 2nd District, Brigid Callahan Harrison and Amy Kennedy; bottom row, L to R: Incumbents, Republican Jeff Van Drew of the 2nd District and Democrat Andy Kim of the 3rd District A lot has happened since rookie Congressmen Jeff Van Drew and Andy Kim rode a Democratic blue wave into ofõce two years ago. The alliance ended in their freshman year, when Van Drew switched parties and got behind President Trump. The move also disrupted the vulnerable tectonics of South Jersey politics. The two men never had much in common, ideologically or otherwise, but they now share this: Both are expected to win their party’s nomination for reelection, and each has the luxury of watching prospective opponents spend large sums of money to bludgeon one another in closely contested primary campaigns closing in on a July 7 election. While it is unusual in New Jersey to õnd a competitive congressional primary race — or general election, for that matter — political winds shift quickly these days. In 2018, Democratic newcomers úipped four GOP House seats in New Jersey, the worst Republican defeat in a congressional election in the state party’s history. They are among õve Democratic incumbents who face tough reelections in November. It’s not surprising that two of those districts — Van Drew’s 2nd and Kim’s 3rd — are up for grabs in the July 7 primary.
