Makers: Women in Hollywood
WOMEN IN HOLLYWOOD OVERVIEW: MAKERS: Women In Hollywood showcases the women of showbiz, from the earliest pioneers to present-day power players, as they influence the creation of one of the country’s biggest commodities: entertainment. In the silent movie era of Hollywood, women wrote, directed and produced, plus there were over twenty independent film companies run by women. That changed when Hollywood became a profitable industry. The absence of women behind the camera affected the women who appeared in front of the lens. Because men controlled the content, they created female characters based on classic archetypes: the good girl and the fallen woman, the virgin and the whore. The women’s movement helped loosen some barriers in Hollywood. A few women, like 20th century Fox President Sherry Lansing, were able to rise to the top. Especially in television, where the financial stakes were lower and advertisers eager to court female viewers, strong female characters began to emerge. Premium cable channels like HBO and Showtime allowed edgy shows like Sex in the City and Girls , which dealt frankly with sex from a woman’s perspective, to thrive. One way women were able to gain clout was to use their stardom to become producers, like Jane Fonda, who had a breakout hit when she produced 9 to 5 . But despite the fact that 9 to 5 was a smash hit that appealed to broad audiences, it was still viewed as a “chick flick”. In Hollywood, movies like Bridesmaids and The Hunger Games , with strong female characters at their center and strong women behind the scenes, have indisputably proven that women centered content can be big at the box office. -

A Message for Lent from Rev. David Madden
10 Creative Ways to Explore a Bible Passage by Jeremy Steele (www.umcom.org)(Note: This is a helpful and interesting article. Since space is limited, this will be a two or three part article, spread out in two or three newsletters.) #1 #14 Last month (February 2017 Methodist Dimension), we covered 1) Decode the Story and 2) Decipher the Argument, as ways to explore the Bible. Here are additional suggestions of out-of-the-box ways to explore, study and better communicate the Bible’s message. Good to the last drop 3. Design a comic strip: This method can be great when used with the first two ideas. Break the passage into eight or fewer discrete scenes and draw the key action of each scene paired with dialogue or important narration. This is all about exploring the passage by imagining what else is happening in the surroundings. What are the reactions of the other people? Do any props come into play? How are they held/used? How does the setting shape the scene? Don’t be afraid to use stick figures! 4. Create a meme: The current trend of placing a catchy word or phrase on top of an image is not only fun, but can also help you explore the Bible. Imagine that you are encouraging people to read a specific passage of the Bible. What phrase would hook Volume V – Issue 3 March 2017 people to read more? What image both matches the theme of the verse, and inspires curiosity? sample of a ‘meme’ 2017 5. Become a Bible translator: Don’t worry; we’re not arguing that you need to take several years of biblical languages to understand the Bible. -

2013 Sex Work and the Senate Swedish Meatballs | a Paper Bird.Pdf
Sex work and the Senate: Swedish meatballs | a paper bird 9/14/13 9:06 AM a paper bird Un pajaro de papel en el pecho / Dice que el tiempo de los besos no ha llegado Sex work and the Senate: Swedish meatballs Posted on 14 September 2013 — Ny spännande möbel från IKEA! Med IKEAs nya PERVERS ställning kan man hotta upp sitt sexförhållande. Go ahead, translate that. There was a time when “the Swedish model” meant either some girl who was dating Leonardo DiCaprio, or a literary anthology of IKEA assembly instructions. Those were innocent days. Now it’s all about sex, and not of the unthreatening DiCaprio variety. Specifically, it refers to what Swedes call the Sexköpslagen or Sex Purchase Law, a 14-year-old act saying that no man kan hotta upp sitt sexförhållande with the use of money. The provision criminalizing the buyer but not the seller of sexual services has become a pattern for pushing legal repression elsewhere, including Canada, England, Scotland, and most recently Ireland. Now even the US Senate is under its influence. David Vitter is a boringly conservative Louisiana Republican. For the most part, he’s there to vote for whatever the oil industry tells him to, though he spikes up the monotony a bit by fighting same-sex marriage, crusading against gambling, and getting lewd women to dress him up in diapers. http://paper-bird.net/2013/09/14/sex-work-and-the-senate-swedish-meatballs/ Page 1 of 9 Sex work and the Senate: Swedish meatballs | a paper bird 9/14/13 9:06 AM The latter propensity started to make headlines during his first term in the Senate, in 2007. -
The Econometric Society Annual Reports. Report of the Editors 2018
Econometrica, Vol. 88, No. 1 (January, 2020), 361–364 THE ECONOMETRIC SOCIETY ANNUAL REPORTS REPORT OF THE EDITORS 2018–2019 TABLES I–III BELOW PROVIDE summary statistics on the editorial process in the form presented in previous editors’ reports. Ta b l e I indicates that we received 955 new submissions this year. This number is down from the previous year (there were 996 submissions in 2017–2018, highest on record). The number of accepted papers (60) went down from last year’s 67. The number of condition- ally accepted papers increased (from 38 to 40). Ta b l e III gives data on the time to decision for submissions evaluated in this reporting year. For new submissions, 62% of papers were decided within three months and 96% were decided within six months. 53% of revisions were returned within three months and 93% within six months. We hope to continue to keep the number of reviews that last more than six months low while maintaining high-quality of reports from our referees, associate editors, and co-editors. Ta b l e IV provides information about the total time to publication for accepted articles. Papers accepted during 2018–2019 spent an average of eleven months in the hands of the journal (adding up all “rounds”) and seventeen months in the hands of the authors (carry- ing out revisions) prior to final acceptance; the time between acceptance and publication averaged 6 months. Together with the editors of QE and TE we have started to push back on the steady increase in paper length over the last fifty years.
