VANIA stands at the bus stop with the rest of her friends, BRANDI, RYAN and GERALD, waiting for the bus to take them home. Ryan dances around, bursting with excitement. RYAN Summer! Summer! Summer! Brandi cringes slightly whenever Ryan gets too close. BRANDI Ryan! You need to be careful! You’re going to run into me! GERALD (to Vania) Wow, Vania! Can you believe that was the very last day of Elementary school? He puffs out his chest and looks at Vania with a strange look on his face. VANIA What are you doing? GERALD Practicing my middle school look. VANIA Your middle school look? GERALD Yeah! Now that we’re in middle school, I need to be ready.

All rights reserved. 2 SONG -- “I’m Not Worried” VANIA It’s the last day of school The last day of elementary The last ride home as an official kid Feeling wary, cuz its kinda scary GERALD A final sentence in this chapter of our lives It will be full of surprises, when it comes and mystifies us RYAN (running by like a madman) It’s the last day of normal! BRANDI (weirded out by Ryan) He’s normal? GERALD Next year Everything’s new, but… GERALD/BRANDI/RYAN I’m not worried, not a bit worried I’m not worried, not a bit worried (to Vania) I’m not worried. I’m not worried, are you? MUSIC CONTINUES IN BACKGROUND Ryan stops dancing and mimics Gerald’s middle school pose. RYAN Middle school is gonna be awesome! Vania looks sadly back at her old elementary school building. VANIA You guys aren’t going to miss our old school at all? RYAN Well, of course! But middle school is gonna be awesome! © copyright 2018. Wonder Media, LLC. All rights reserved. 3 BRANDI (exasperated) You already said that, Ryan. VANIA What makes middle school so much better? RYAN Everything! He starts dancing again. SINGING CONTINUES ​ RYAN Next year in middle school We dissect frogs in biology BRANDI We get cute lockers like a big kid RYAN (pointing to upper lip) We might get hairy BRANDI Ew. That’s kinda scary GERALD A fun adventure. A new chapter of our lives We’ll go up a few sizes, after doing exercises BRANDI IN A GOWN (spins past in a formal gown) We’ll get dressed up for the formal RYAN IN A SUIT (nervous gulp) A formal? VANIA It’s so exciting and new. Yeah… EVERYONE I’m not worried, not a bit worried I’m not worried, not a bit worried I’m not worried. I’m not worried at all. Ryan spins as he dances and trips. Brandi leaps back in fear as he falls in front of her. © copyright 2018. Wonder Media, LLC. All rights reserved. 4 BRANDI Ryan! Ugh, use your brain! He gets up and brushes off. RYAN Oh, Brandi, you scaredy cat. The school bus pulls up and the doors open. VANIA Thanks Gerald Gerald exits frame to get on the bus. Brandi and Ryan leave too. Vania hangs back for a beat, looking at her old school. VANIA (to herself) I’m not worried at all. She smiles and heads towards the bus. ​ ​ CUT TO: INT. SCHOOL BUS – DAY The bus is a mix of students of all ages and from different schools. Behind MORT the BUS DRIVER, sit a group of 8th grade MIDDLE SCHOOL students. They all wear headphones and listen to loud music. VANIA (to 8th graders) Uh, excuse me. I’m starting middle school next fall and I was wondering... The 8th graders ignore her, unable to hear her over their music. KIARA They can’t hear you, kid. Their music is too loud. © copyright 2018. Wonder Media, LLC. All rights reserved. 5 KIARA, an outgoing and friendly high school student, sits in the back of the bus surrounded by her friends AMANDA, TREVOR and HECTOR. Vania takes a seat next to Brandi and turns around to talk to Kiara. KIARA (CONT’D) I can tell you about middle school if you want. Ryan pops up in his seat. RYAN Is it true we get to dissect frogs in biology class? GERALD And that P.E. class is about real sports? BRANDI And you get to decorate your own locker? Kiara laughs. KIARA Middle school is a lot different from elementary school. And you’ll get to do a ton of new and fun things. I liked middle school! TREVOR (morosely) Glad somebody did. I hated middle school. Trevor rolls his eyes and groans. TREVOR (CONT’D) Leaving there was the best thing that ever happened to me. VANIA Why didn’t you like middle school? TREVOR I’m in band which apparently wasn’t ‘cool.’ I was too nerdy to ever be part of the cool group. They never let me in. © copyright 2018. Wonder Media, LLC. All rights reserved. 6 BRANDI That’s awful! But at least you got to decorate your own locker, right? TREVOR Yeah, real fun, until you get shoved into one. Brandi shrinks back in terror. TREVOR (CONT’D) You wanna hear good stories about middle school? Talk to Hector. He was one of the cool kids. Trevor jerks a thumb towards his friend Hector who grins at them and shakes his head. HECTOR I was only pretending to be someone I’m not. I was afraid people wouldn’t like the real me, so I spent the whole time making up a new person. He sighs dramatically. HECTOR (CONT’D) It was exhausting. TREVOR But it worked! You were one of the cool kids. HECTOR Because I tricked everyone! But it wasn’t the real me. And I never knew if my friends were real friends, or if they just liked the fake me. KIARA Well, I like the real you, Trevor. HECTOR Me too. AMANDA, another fellow high school student, leans over her bus seat and stares at Vania intently with a smile that doesn’t quite reach her eyes. © copyright 2018. Wonder Media, LLC. All rights reserved. 7 AMANDA Personally, I loved middle school. VANIA You did? AMANDA Do you want to know why I loved middle school so much? Vania and Brandi nod silently, more than a little scared. AMANDA (CONT’D) Because all the new incoming kids would do exactly what I told them to whenever I told them to do it. VANIA That doesn’t sound like much fun. AMANDA Maybe not for you, but for me, it was perfect! KIARA Leave them alone, Amanda. Amanda sits back in her seat and laughs to herself. KIARA (CONT’D) Don’t listen to her, guys. Middle school is gonna be different but you’ll be fine. It’s..an adventure. But it’ll be a good learning experience. You’ll see. Vania turns back in her seat and sadly looks out the window. BRANDI It’ll be fine, Vania. VANIA I guess. She sighs sadly and sits quietly for the rest of the ride. FADE TO: © copyright 2018. Wonder Media, LLC. All rights reserved. 8 Sequence 2: Dorothy at the Farm EXT. ROAD TO FARMHOUSE - DAY The school bus pulls away, leaving Vania at the end of the road that leads to her farm house. On either side of the road are vast corn fields. A lone SCARECROW flutters in the wind. Vania’s dog, TOTO, runs up to her and greets her. VANIA Hey, Toto! Did you have a good day today? TOTO Woof! Woof. VANIA My day? Ah, it was okay. Last day of elementary school, which means after summer I start middle school. (fakes excitement)Yay. Vania sighs and starts walking to her house. VANIA (CONT’D) I’m not worried. It’s gonna be fine. (she’s worried) It’s gonna be fine. It’s just like elementary school...but not. EXT. FARM HOUSE GATE - DAY A CLANG and some MUTTERING catches her attention. She turns to see UNCLE HENRY working under a TRACTOR near the house. VANIA (CONT’D) Hi, Uncle Henry! UNCLE HENRY Hey there, Little Blue Behind him, dark storm clouds grow on the horizon. © copyright 2018. Wonder Media, LLC. All rights reserved. 9 VANIA (CONT’D) Those clouds don’t look good, Toto. It looks like a storm is coming. ​ ​ EXT. FARMHOUSE PORCH - DAY AUNTIE EM stands on the porch, staring at the clouds behind Vania. AUNTIE EM There’s a big storm coming. Glad you’re home now. VANIA Me too. AUNTIE EM Come on inside. I just made cookies. You can tell me all about your last day of elementary school. Vania and Toto follow Auntie Em into the house. INT. FARMHOUSE KITCHEN - DAY Auntie Em bustles around the kitchen while Vania sits at the kitchen table. She picks at a plate of cookies in front of her. AUNTIE EM Vania, honey, are you ok? VANIA I’m fine. AUNTIE EM You sure? You don’t seem fine. VANIA Auntie Em, I was thinking, with all the work you and Uncle Henry have around here, it would probably be best if I dropped out of school and just stayed home everyday to help out.

    BUZZED DRIVING IS DRUNK DRIVING QUALITATIVE ADVERTISING RESEARCH REPORT AUGUST 2011 1 Outline I. Background II. Research objectives III. Methodology IV. Summary & recommendations V. Findings 1. Attitudes & behavior 2. Campaign feedback 3. Details by execution 2 I. Background • In 2009, nearly 11,000 people died in highway crashes involving a driver or a motorcycle operator with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 or higher. Thousands more were injured. Since its debut more than 20 years ago, the Ad Council‟s “Friends Don‟t Let Friends Drive Drunk” campaign has played a significant role in improving the safety of our roads. In large part due to the PSA campaign, more than two-thirds of Americans (68%) say they have tried to stop someone from driving impaired. Alcohol-related crashes dropped dramatically, reaching a low point in the late 1990s. In conjunction with stepped-up law enforcement, this long-running PSA campaign had changed the social norm. “One for the road” was transformed into “Friends don‟t let friends drive drunk.” It has been one of the Ad Council‟s most well-known and successful campaigns • Despite these successes, crashes involving alcohol consumption started rising again in 2000. Younger drivers age 21-34, predominantly men, were responsible for nearly 60% of alcohol-related traffic crashes. In response to these trends, the Advertising Council and its longtime partner, the U.S. Department of Transportation‟s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), decided to refocus the Drunk Driving Prevention campaign. Rather than targeting the intervener, the new campaign targeted those most likely to drive impaired • The mindset of the target audience was researched and understood to be well-meaning regular people, 21-34 years old (60% male), who don‟t intend harm but continue to drink and drive.

  • The-Marriage-Of-Billie-Birdsong-5.Pdf
    The Marriage of Billie Birdsong 2 The Marriage of Billie Birdsong A Sherlock Holmes Adventure by Laurie R. King The Marriage of Billie Birdsong 3 Introduction In 1923, on his world tour of Spiritualism lectures, Arthur Conan Doyle visited San Francisco. The following spring (or so it is given in Laurie R. King’s Locked Rooms) Mr. Sherlock Holmes and his wife Mary Russell themselves arrived in San Francisco. What happened there, as described in King’s The Art of Detection, has created something of a controversy in the world of Holmes studies. Either the account was penned by Sir Arthur during his 1923 visit to this skeptical city, then abandoned and left unpublished for fear of shocking his devoted readers—or it was written in 1924 by Mr. Holmes himself, while his wife and partner Mary Russell was away on business of her own. Readers of the Russell memoirs will accept that the story is nothing short of the actual truth. Billie Birdsong’s story is but a part of a larger tale, and only finds its completion on the day when the mayor of San Francisco, Gavin Newsome, opened the doors of city hall to the marriage of same-sex couples. From February 11 to March 11, 2004, gay men and lesbian women were given the same rights as the rest of the population. On August 24 of that year, those marriages were annulled—until four years later, when the California Supreme Court ruled that such a ban was unconstitutional. In 2015, the US Supreme Court did the same for the entire country.
