    NEW YORK STATE PAID FAMILY LEAVE (“PFL”) • AN OVERVIEW Presented by Ed Probst CLU ChFC ChHC RHU HCR New York Paid Leave Paving the Way to the Nation's Strongest Paid Family Leave Policy In 2016, Governor Cuomo signed into law the nation’s strongest and most comprehensive Paid Family Leave policy. Working families will no longer have to choose between caring for their loved ones and risking their economic security. Starting January 1, 2018, the New York State Paid Family Leave Program will provide New Yorkers job-protected, paid leave to bond with a new child, care for a loved one with a serious health condition or to help relieve family pressures when someone is called to active military service. Establishing Paid Family Leave marks a pivotal next step in the pursuit of equality and dignity in both the workplace and home. WHAT IS PFL? . New York Paid Family Leave goes into effect January 1, 2018 and is an addition to New York’s Disability Benefits Law (“DBL”). Private employers with at least one employee will be required to provide PFL coverage to its eligible employees. PFL provides wage replacement and job security to eligible employees for three leave types. Employers are required to cover all eligible employees, but the benefit is 100% employee funded through payroll deductions. TYPES OF LEAVE COVERED UNDER PFL . Bonding with an employee’s child during the first year after birth, or during the first year after placement of an adopted or foster child. An employee may apply for family leave before the actual placement for adoption or foster care.

While the cases in India are still raising, we have accepted the new N normal way with such restrictions and precautions. We are even gradually rolling back to our daily routine, 'social distancing' and 'stay-at-home' are becoming a norm for us. Over the past few months we all faced some harsh realities of life where many lost their jobs, businesses have shut down, with depression grasping our mind even in a worse way. The lockdown has had a terrible dreadful impact on everyone including the showbiz industry. With the Covid-19 crisis keeping the movie theatres shut, filmmakers have decided to skip the theatrical release of their films and go straight to digital release. The same is with Shakuntala Devi and Virgin Bhanupriya. We have featured our super-talented Vidya Balan and extremely bold Urvashi Rautela in this month's release. The month of August marks the beginning of the festivities across the country. Krishna Janmashtami to Ganesh Chaturthi, Onametc, this month heralds the arrival of one happy occasion after another. The festival calendar becomes dull this year. This pandemic has allowed us to redesign our lifestyle and has changed the way of major festivals with Krishna Janmashtami, taking the virtual route for social distancing.

  • Ronald Davis Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts
    Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts in America Southern Methodist University The Southern Methodist University Oral History Program was begun in 1972 and is part of the University’s DeGolyer Institute for American Studies. The goal is to gather primary source material for future writers and cultural historians on all branches of the performing arts- opera, ballet, the concert stage, theatre, films, radio, television, burlesque, vaudeville, popular music, jazz, the circus, and miscellaneous amateur and local productions. The Collection is particularly strong, however, in the areas of motion pictures and popular music and includes interviews with celebrated performers as well as a wide variety of behind-the-scenes personnel, several of whom are now deceased. Most interviews are biographical in nature although some are focused exclusively on a single topic of historical importance. The Program aims at balancing national developments with examples from local history. Interviews with members of the Dallas Little Theatre, therefore, serve to illustrate a nation-wide movement, while film exhibition across the country is exemplified by the Interstate Theater Circuit of Texas. The interviews have all been conducted by trained historians, who attempt to view artistic achievements against a broad social and cultural backdrop. Many of the persons interviewed, because of educational limitations or various extenuating circumstances, would never write down their experiences, and therefore valuable information on our nation’s cultural heritage would be lost if it were not for the S.M.U. Oral History Program. Interviewees are selected on the strength of (1) their contribution to the performing arts in America, (2) their unique position in a given art form, and (3) availability.
