Senior students at the Lawrence Herbert School of Communication will air the 15th annual Friends of Max Kolb Telethon on Sunday, May 1, 2016 at 9 pm on maxkolbtelethon.com. The 90-minute show, produced and directed exclusively by television students, has raised more than $65,000 for scholarships for Hofstra film students.
The telethon and the Max Kolb Endowed Memorial Scholarship were created to honor Hofstra film student Max Kolb, who died in 2001. The first telethon was a collaboration between Max's film and television classmates and Peter Gershon, PhD, associate professor in the Department of Radio, Television, Film and the telecast's faculty adviser. It originally aired with a number of minor acts, but has grown to include live musical performances, as well as interviews with student filmmakers and successful alumni in the media industry.
This year's telethon features performances by artists including Phil Firetog Trio, Approaching Troy, Katja, Hoax, and Theory 47. Items for auction include two round-trip tickets to anywhere from Jet Blue, memorabilia such as ticket stubs from all 27 New York Yankees World Series championship games, a CrossFit membership certificate, and two tickets to see Bravo's hit late-night TV show Watch What Happens Live and a chance to meet and chat with host Andy Cohen.
"The telethon is a highly-regarded Hofstra tradition that highlights the unique partnership between the film and television students as well as the passion all of them have for their respective crafts," said Dr. Gershon.
Scholarship recipients may use the award to help offset production costs of their junior or senior films, which can reach upwards of $5,000. Funds raised since the scholarship's inception have helped support more than 60 student filmmakers as they prepared to launch rewarding careers in the media industry.

Possession of a Weapon at the Airport
Review of PC 171.5 Possessing a Weapon at California Airports
Penal Code 171.5 PC makes it a crime for anyone to knowingly possess certain weapons within the sterile area of a California airport, which also includes a frame, barrel, magazine of a firearm, among others.
The sterile area of airports starts where people enter screening at the security checkpoint operated by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).
It's illegal to have possession of a weapon in the sterile area of any California airport.
Readers should note that possession of weapons at a California airport could also be filed as a federal offense under federal laws.
While the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees citizens the right to keep and bear arms, the state and federal government have the legal right to place some reasonable restrictions limiting where someone has the right to possess a firearm.
Further, in the state of California, there are certain people who are normally prohibited from possessing a gun, such as convicted felons, drug addicts, someone with a mental illness, and anyone convicted of a domestic violence crime.
Put simply, if you are found in possession of a weapon in the secure section of any airport in California, you could be facing significant criminal charges.
As noted, not only is it a violation of the law to bring weapons into airports, but because airports are administered at the federal level, you could also be charged with a federal crime that carries more severe penalties.
Our Los Angeles criminal defense lawyers will take a closer look at the laws below.
Overview of Possession of a Weapon at the Airport Law
As noted, Penal Code 171.5(b) PC is the California law that prohibits possession of a weapon at any airport. This law states that It is:
"unlawful for any person to knowingly possess a weapon within any sterile area of an airport or a passenger vessel terminal."
Violating this law is a misdemeanor offense punishable by up to $1000 in fines and up to six months in the county jail—although judges have the latitude to impose summary probation as an alternative to jail time depending on the circumstances.
There are a few related offenses that could also be filed by the prosecutor in addition to PC 171.5, such as carrying a concealed firearm under Penal Code 25400(a)(2), or carrying a loaded firearm in a public place under Penal Code 25850(a).
As noted above, a "sterile area" is an area, including airport security checkpoints, in which airport authorities control access.
Generally speaking, it's a crime to carry any kind of weapon or weapon component beyond the TSA screening checkpoint at the airport.
What Constitutes a Weapon?
PC 171.5 includes a comprehensive list of what the State of California deems a "weapon." The list includes, but is not limited to:
Any firearm;
Individual firearm components (e.g., frame, barrel, magazine);
Knives with blades exceeding four inches;
Box cutters;
Switchblade knife,
Straight razors;
Tear gas;
Grenades;
Tasers and stun guns;
Ammunition;
BB guns, pellet guns, or paint guns.
It's important to note that the law also includes imitation or replica weapons as part of these prohibited items.
So if you bring any type of imitation firearm, replica grenade, etc., past security, you can be charged with this crime the same as if you had possessed an authentic weapon.
What are the Related Offenses?
Possession at the Airport is governed by Penal Code 171.5(b), but California law prohibits possession of a weapon in other public areas as well. Similar offenses include:
Possession of a Weapon at a California Public Transit Facility (Penal Code 171.7 PC): Like airports, possession of a weapon in sterile areas of public transit facilities (e.g., bus or train stations) is a misdemeanor;
Possession of a Weapon in Public Buildings or Public Meetings (Penal Code 171b PC): a "wobbler" offense that can be charged as a misdemeanor or felony;
Possession of a Weapon at Government Residences (Penal Code 171d PC): this law is a "wobbler" that makes it a crime to carry a weapon onto the grounds of the Governor's mansion, the residence of any legislator, or the residence of any constitutional officer.
In addition, the following offenses are often charged alongside PC 171.5(b) and can result in increased penalties:
Carrying a Loaded Firearm (Penal Code 25850): The crime of carrying a loaded firearm prohibits carrying a loaded firearm in public, concealed or unconcealed. This offense is a misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in county jail and a fine of up to $1,000;
Carrying a Concealed Firearm (Penal Code 25400): PC 25400 specifies that it's generally illegal for anyone to carry a concealed firearm in their vehicle or on their person in public. This crime is punishable by up to three years in county jail and a fine of up to $10,000;
Felon in Possession of a Firearm (Penal Code 29800(a)(1): This statute prohibits convicted felons or those with felony warrants from owning, purchasing, or possessing a firearm.
Relinquishment of Firearms by Convicted Persons (Penal Code 29810): This statute requires people convicted of certain misdemeanor or felony crimes to relinquish all firearms they own or possess.
Finally, because airports are federally controlled, possessing a weapon at the airport is also a violation of federal law.
While most instances of weapons at California airports are charged under state laws, the federal government may opt to charge you with a federal crime in some cases--for example, if you created a dangerous situation or brought the weapon onto a plane.
Common Defenses for Possession of a Weapon at the Airport
Being caught with a weapon in a secure area of the airport does not mean an automatic conviction.
A good criminal defense attorney can offer compelling defenses based on mitigating or extenuating circumstances. Some common defenses to this offense may include:
You didn't know you were carrying a weapon. The law states you must "knowingly" possess the weapon to be convicted of the crime. We may be able to argue that you accidentally carried it past security or simply forgot it was inside your luggage or carry-on bag.
Contact our law firm to review the best defense strategies to fight the charges for best outcome.
Violation of probable cause. Officers cannot detain or arrest you without probable cause. If the circumstances of your arrest had no probable cause, the evidence is not admissible in court.
You were under duress. In some cases, the lawyer may be able to argue that you were forced to carry the weapon under threat of harm.
As noted, the statutory language within Penal Code 171.5 PC says that a defendant can only be found guilty if they knowingly possessed a prohibited weapon at an airport.
Put simply, we could use a legal defense of while the defendant did take a prohibited weapon into the airport, they did not know it. Perhaps someone else put the weapon into their luggage or bag without their knowledge.

#MeToo and the Law (LAWS8403)
Assessment 1
Class Contacts
While originally coined in 2006 by Tarana Burke, a social activist and community organiser, the #MeToo movement moved into the spotlight in 2017 when several female celebrities accused film mogul Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment and assault. Since then, women (and some men) around the world have shared their experiences with sexual violence and harassment across social media and the press using both #metoo and #timesup. These hashtags aimed not just to bring the issues to the collective attention, but to end sexual violence and discrimination in all their forms by breaking the silence around gender-based violence and promoting social change.
Beyond giving survivors a platform to discuss their experiences, these movements also raised important legal issues. For example, #metoo raised issues around spoliation, statutes of limitation, due process, wrongful termination, libel, non-disclosure agreements, backlogs of evidence, and sexual harassment and abuse in legal workplaces, amongst other issues. Changes occurred as a result of the movement, but at the same time back-steps happened in some jurisdictions as a backlash was felt.
In this module, we discuss the issues #metoo raised for the criminal justice system and civil courts, while considering the broader socio-legal interface to explore potential further points for improving equality and addressing inequity for those experiencing sexual violence and harassment, including in the legal profession itself. The module brings experts from their respective issues to ask: What did #metoo highlight? What legal changes did it initiate? What work is there still to be done?
Students will begin by considering the theoretical underpinnings of the movement, exploring violence, intersectionality, marginalisation and access to justice. Next, we consider the role of social media and the digital age in the momentum #metoo gained, and what legal issues this raises. Then, we move to explore what the movement has highlighted about the problems and pitfalls of the criminal law, evidence and procedure for those with claims, both old and new. In the civil realm, we explore issues around contracts, arbitration provisions, and non-disclosure agreements, asking what these mean for breaking the silence. Finally, we consider how the legal profession itself has come into focus as a site of sexual harassment and abuse, raising issues for courts, law firms and the profession more broadly. In short, students explore how #metoo has made significant and lasting difference, but also explore how its impacts have been felt unequally, looking to what can be done moving forward.
Investigate and critically evaluate how responses to sexual misconduct, rape and sexual assault have been augmented by online advocacy, both in theory and in practice;
Reflect critically on the how law both shaped, and is shaped by, #metoo and related campaigns on gender-based violence and discrimination;
Explore and review the legal principles and rules applicable to sexual misconduct and violence inside and outside of the workplace, and evaluate how these principles sit within the broader legal framework;
Critically analyse and assess what the #MeToo and allied contemporary movements mean for the legal profession and legal workplaces; and
Plan and execute complex legal research in order to critically evaluate how #metoo has impacted on the law and on our understandings of gender-based violence and feminism.
Research-Led Teaching
The course draws in experts from around the University and the International Bar Association to discuss topics they are researching and practicing around. Further online resources will draw on research case studies and reflexive content. At the same time, students are asked to engage in their own research projects and engage in peer-to-peer learning around research and legal issues encountered. The aim is for students to be partners in the research process around this issue of significant international importance.
Required Resources
There will be electronic resources provided on Wattle for all students.
Students will be given feedback in the following forms in this course:
written comments
verbal comments
feedback to whole class, groups, individuals, focus group etc
ANU is committed to the demonstration of educational excellence and regularly seeks feedback from students. Students are encouraged to offer feedback directly to their Course Convener or through their College and Course representatives (if applicable). The feedback given in these surveys is anonymous and provides the Colleges, University Education Committee and Academic Board with opportunities to recognise excellent teaching, and opportunities for improvement.

ANU has educational policies, procedures and guidelines, which are designed to ensure that staff and students are aware of the University's academic standards, and implement them. Students are expected to have read the Academic Misconduct Rule before the commencement of their course. Other key policies and guidelines include:
Student Assessment (Coursework) Policy and Procedure
Special Assessment Consideration Policy and General Information
Student Surveys and Evaluations
Deferred Examinations
Student Complaint Resolution Policy and Procedure
Assessment Requirements
The ANU is using Turnitin to enhance student citation and referencing techniques, and to assess assignment submissions as a component of the University's approach to managing Academic Integrity. For additional information regarding Turnitin please visit the Academic Integrity . In rare cases where online submission using Turnitin software is not technically possible; or where not using Turnitin software has been justified by the Course Convener and approved by the Associate Dean (Education) on the basis of the teaching model being employed; students shall submit assessment online via 'Wattle' outside of Turnitin, or failing that in hard copy, or through a combination of submission methods as approved by the Associate Dean (Education). The submission method is detailed below.
Moderation of Assessment
Marks that are allocated during Semester are to be considered provisional until formalised by the College examiners meeting at the end of each Semester. If appropriate, some moderation of marks might be applied prior to final results being released.
For all courses taught in intensive mode, the ANU College of Law considers participation in the classes offered to be an important part of the educational experience of the graduate program and students are required to attend ALL classes (and all of each class).
In exceptional circumstances, a student may be granted permission by the Course Convenor, in consultation with the Stream Convenor or Director, LLM Program, to miss some classes, provided:
(a) it does not exceed a maximum of 25% of the classes;
(b) permission is requested in advance; and
(c) the request is supported, where appropriate, by adequate documentation.
Failure to comply with this policy may result in a student receiving the grade of NCN (non-complete fail). The normal pressures of work or planned personal trips do not constitute exceptional circumstances to justify an exemption from full compliance of this policy.
Assessment Task 1
Value: 30 %
Learning Outcomes: 1-4
Reflective Online Journal
Students are asked to complete reflective journal pieces after each session. These pieces should seek to explore critically both the student's learning and the content of the session itself. There is no required length to this reflective exercise, although each reflection should comprise of no less than 200 words. Students are advised that in their entries they should reflect critically on their understandings: 1) of the strengths and weaknesses of the content, 2) of the law, and3) of different perspectives presented.
Students are advised that we can see different experiences of learning from other people's eyes and make new connections, often between topics and disciplines, and that it is therefore important to take time to:
1. self-assess what they know or thought they knew;
2. think about how they might improve their understanding;
3. think about how to improve the law itself.
The reflective journal is time to undertake these important reflections and to emerge skills that are simultaneously reflexive as they are critical. It is noted this content is used not only for peer-to-peer learning, but I also look to how a session benefited or not students, and that I use the reflections to inform my teaching and learning.
Students are reminded that it is important that they to approach reflexive practice sensitively to others, and it is note that engagement should be respectful. Students are reminded that many participants of the class are likely to be survivors of harassment and other forms of violence, and therefore it is critical to build respect, trust, communication amongst the diversity of experiences and views in the class. Students are made aware that should reflective practice bring up issues you need support with, they can head to this site which can help them with disclosure options, a range of internal ANU and external services and other options like joining the ambassador programme.
Nature of Task: Compulsory. As an intensive module, students are expected to participate in all sessions. Students who fail to complete the task before the next session will receive a mark of 0 for that particular session. Students who miss more than three entries over the course of the module (e.g. receive three marks of 0 across the course) will receive a 0 mark for this element of the course.
Assessment Criteria:
a) Appropriate description of context/critical incident/experience/conflict
Sets the stage and allow understanding of the experience that is the foundation for the reflection.
Not too much is spent on describing but on analysis of how this informs the reflector's self-understanding, practice and others or course concepts.
b) Clarity
The language is clear and readable.
Concepts are explained accurately, where applicable.
c) Evidence of thinking around changed practice now and in the future
It should be clear what new knowledge has been gained or thinking changed.
Reflections should refer to action and how this might relate to what they do in the future.
There should be sensitivity to diversity, alongside self-awareness.
d) Expression and style
Reflection is highly personal and therefore the first person should be used.
While free writing is permissible, the reflection should have an internal structure and should dedicate most of the time to analyzing and synthesizing learning, rather than describing.
Forum Participation
Students are asked to engage with forum posts made by others and to comment respectfully and thoughtfully, engaging with the content presented in class, the readings and more widely. Students should contribute a total of 800 words of posts on other students' reflections over the course, although greater participation is encouraged.
Students are advised that they should reflect on understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the content, of the law, and of different perspectives presented. They are advised that we can see different experiences of learning from other people's eyes and make new connections, often between topics and disciplines. It is therefore important to take time to self-assess what they know or thought they knew, and how they might improve their understanding, and improve the law itself. It is noted this content is used not only for peer-to-peer learning, but I also look to how a session benefited or not students, and that I use the reflections to inform my teaching and learning.
It is critical to approach commenting and engagement sensitively to others, and it is note that engagement should be respectful. Students are reminded that many participants of the class are likely to be survivors of harassment and other forms of violence, and therefore it is critical to build respect, trust, communication amongst the diversity of experiences and views in the class. Students are made aware that should reflective practice bring up issues you need support with, they can head to this site which can help them with disclosure options, services and other options like joining the ambassador programme.
Nature of Task: Compulsory. Students are expected to make at least one comment or reflection in response to another student's uploaded journal entry. Due to the nature of this task, extensions are not possible.
A) Engagement with entries, and reflections on what is said.
B) Clarity and quality of engagement.
C) Ability to communicate knowledge and understanding of the core concepts or experiences in response to an entry.
Return of Assessment: 09/10/2020
Students may choose a law research topic around #metoo that particularly interests them and write a research paper. The gold standard aimed for is that the piece should be capable of becoming a draft article. Students could consider, for example, writing a critical analysis article of a recent case or piece of legislation or reform, or consider an area requiring reform. This assessment task will assist students to satisfactorily complete ELOs 1-5 with a particular focus on detailed knowledge of new developments in an area of national and international controversy and activism.
Nature of task: Compulsory. Failure to submit this task will result in a mark of 0 for the task.
Length: 4000 words
Deadline: 25 September 2020, 5pm.
Referencing Requirements: Students should reference their draft research articles in the style of the AGLC 4th edition.

Ways to update Windows 8/10 to Windows 11
New Features Of Windows 11
How to recover lost data after upgrading to Windows 11?
Would you like to upgrade to the latest version of Windows 11? Here is a step-by-step guide to doing so!
Microsoft has recently released Windows 11 to improve the experience of its users. The new operating system would deliver an excellent experience and bring you closer to all you love the most!
Anyone can freely upgrade to Windows 11. But, before you take the steps towards the up-gradation, it is far essential to make sure that whether your system would allow you for that or not?
If you are interested to know would your system be able for this recent update or not? Just give a reading to this article!
Recently, Microsoft has launched a new update. Well, multiple pictures of the Windows 11 were gone viral before it was found in the market. On 24th June 2021, the higher authorities let the users download Windows 11.
With the release of Windows, various questions and doubts pop up in people's minds. Thus, they start looking for them all. The Windows came with many major and minor changes. The operating system comes along with multiple new and exciting features.
With Windows 11, the users would be able to download and run multiple applications on their computers. Besides it, you will also find a few changes in the Start menu to make it operate better. Above all, the team has also made efforts to change the overall look of Windows11. And thus, for now, Window 11 gives you an appearance of a Mac.
You can not upgrade to Windows 11 if your computer is not compatible with Windows 11. Most Windows 10 hardware would support this update, but the same would not be for all the devices.
Microsoft has also updated the hardware requirements for Windows 11. For instance, from now TPM 2.0-enabled processor would be required for this purpose. And beside it, 4GB RAM, along with the 64GB on-device storage, is necessary. So, these requirements would make various devices ineligible for this update.
A 1GHz or faster processor with two or more cores on the compatible 64-bit processor would be required. The computer must have a graphic card DirectX 12 or later with a WDDM 2.0 driver would be required. The HD display should be greater than 9" diagonally and must have 8 bits per color channel. And lastly, the Microsoft account and internet connectivity would be a must. Get Windows 11 checker.
So, if your computer can fulfill all of these hardware requirements, then you can take the step to download the updates.
