On the contrary, in The Maldives there was a recent increase in the number of crimes that are punishable by death, and in countries such as Pakistan and Indonesia, who had de-facto moratoriums for several years, executions have resumed. Of particular concern, notably in Asia, is the continued imposition of the death penalty for drug crimes despite this being a clear violation of international human rights stan- dards. -

Zawia DEAN OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND 2017 ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the relationship between the print novel and new media. It argues that this relationship is productive; that is, it locates the novel and new media within a tense, but symbiotic relationship. This requires an understanding of media relations that is ecological, rather than competitive. More precise, this dissertation investigates ways that the novel incorporates new media. The word “incorporate” refers both to embodiment and physical union. -

The Staircase Model” – Labor Control of Temporary Agency Workers in a Swedish Call Center
“The Staircase Model” – Labor Control of Temporary Agency Workers in a Swedish Call Center ❚❚ Gunilla Olofsdotter Senior lecturer in Sociology, Department of Social Sciences, Mid Sweden University, Sweden ABSTRACT The article explores the labor control practices implemented in a call center with extensive con- tracting of temporary agency workers (TAWs). More specifically, the article focuses on how struc- tural and ideological power works in this setting and on the effects of this control for TAWs’ working conditions. Open-ended, semi-structured interviews were conducted with TAWs, regular employees, and a manager in a call center specializing in telecommunication services in Sweden. The results show that ideological power is important in adapting the interests of TAWs to correspond with those of temporary work agencies (TWAs) and their client companies, in this case the call center. The results also show how ideological power is mixed with structural control in terms of technologi- cal control systems and, most importantly, a systematic categorization of workers in a hierarchical structure according to their value to the call center. By systemically categorizing workers in the staircase model, a structural inequality is produced and reproduced in the call center. The motives for working in the call center are often involuntary and are caused by the shortage of work other than a career in support services. As a consequence, feelings of insecurity and an awareness of the precarious nature of their assignment motivate TAWs to enhance their performance and hopefully take a step up on the staircase. This implies new understandings of work where job insecurity has become a normal part of working life. -

Steps By Caroline Turner Cole Dallas, TX [email protected] 214.274.8578 Cast of Characters STEP ONE PERSON, mid-30’s STEP FOUR/FIVE PERSON, late-20’s STEP TWELVE PERSON, mid-30’s Note: Cast should be entirely female. Race is irrelevant. Lights low. There is music. Three actors enter from different entrances and meet center. They interact (some sort of movement) with one another without speaking before negotiating their way to three distinct places onstage. Perhaps three pools of light. Perhaps three chairs. Perhaps a mix of both. Actors rotate through these areas interacting wordlessly with each other between monologues. Lights full. Note: Text messages can be read or projected or both. Whatever your heart desires or your tech allows. STEP ONE PERSON Begins mid-thought. First defending herself to the other cast members. Then, in turn, to the audience. They are anyone and everyone. Her mother. Her father. Her best friend. Her last lover. Yes, but it's not a problem. You don't understand. I can stop drinking any time I want to. Really. I mean, look, I'm not drinking right now. I haven't been drinking at all today and it's already... Looks at watch ...nine-thirty...in the morning. See? I'm doing great. I don't have a headache from last night because, guess what? I didn't drink that much. I mean, I did have to have a drink or two, because it was Guy's birthday. I mean, we were at a bar after all. So, of course I had a drink. -

2255 sshhoowwss ffoorr ttwweeeennss ( T H A T Y O U M I G H T L I K E T O O ! ) marycarver.com 25 shows for tweens ( T H A T Y O U M I G H T L I K E T O O ! ) The question I get asked most often is, "What are some good shows for my tweens?" It's hard to find shows that are appropriate but interesting and yet not annoying for the parents in the room. But it's not impossible! Here are 25 shows your tweens (and young teens) will love—and you might too! Big Shot (Disney+) – A men's college basketball coach is fired and forced to take a job coaching at a girls private high school. As you might guess, he learns as much from them as they do from him. Diverse cast, funny dialogue, moving stories. Diary of a Future President (Disney+) – Elena will eventually become president of the United States, but for now, she’s navigating family, friends, and homework in her first year of middle school. (This has some themes best for older kids, but it is a sweet, funny show.) Girl Meets World (Disney+) – Spinoff of Boy Meets World, with Cory and Topanga’s daughter and her friends as they navigate school, friends, and life. Gortimer Gibbon’s Life on Normal Street (Netflix) – Middle school friends go on adventures and learn about life in a sweet, timeless show that’s also a little bit magical. The Healing Powers of Dude (Netflix) – A middle school boy with social anxiety returns to school after being homeschooled, along with his dog (whose thoughts we can hear).
