I entered the world of disability at the age of 20, having completed my sophomore year at UCLA. That summer, I took a daytrip with a friend of mine, a young pilot and sophomore at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. We flew in his uncle’s small plane from our hometown in the San Joaquin Valley to the California Coast to pick up some supplies from his campus apartment, then flew to a coastal ranch to visit a friend of mine. We never made it home, crashing in the coastal mountains. He died instantly, and I survived. From that moment until this day, I have been paralyzed from the waist down, a full-time wheelchair user. When I returned to the UCLA campus eight months later, having UW-Whitewater Chancellor Beverly Kopper shakes hands with 2017 graduate Yarden Hershko. been hospitalized for nearly five months, everything was exactly the same as the day I left for Can a quadriplegic become a doctor?

  • 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.

Patients are stunned at their diagnosis and do not know where to turn and carepartners feel powerless and unqualified in their efforts to comfort and provide care for their loved ones. We here at CurePSP are sensitive to these circumstances and over the years have developed programs and support networks to assist you. The materials we have available to you from the onset of the disease through its course can be obtained by simply calling our office. We have more than 50 support groups nationwide where patients and carepartners meet once a month to discuss their issues and ease their burden. These support groups are led by well-trained facilitators, some of whom have had a personal experience with one of the diseases.

Each state‘s relative share of these programs is described. The geographic themes, patterns, and images from these programs are analyzed, with an emphasis on identity in five American regions: the Mid-Atlantic, New England, the Midwest, the South, and the West. The dissertation concludes with a comparison of television‘s senses of place to those described in previous studies of regional identity. iii For Sue iv CONTENTS List of Tables vi Acknowledgments vii 1.
