Who Are Chloe Chrisley's Parents?
By Amanda Ray Byerly/Updated: Dec. 5, 2022 7:46 am EST
On November 21, "Chrisley Knows Best" stars Todd and Julie Chrisley were sentenced to a staggering 12 years and 7 years in prison, respectively, for tax evasion and fraud. "Yesterday was a difficult day for the Chrisley family. But Todd and Julie are people of faith, and that faith gives them strength as they appeal their convictions," the couple's attorney, Alex Little, said in a statement obtained by CNN.
While sources told Us Weekly that the family is "devastated" following the couple's sentencing hearing, many in the Twittersphere are even more concerned about what will happen to the Chrisley's 10-year-old granddaughter, Chloe Chrisley, whom they raise. "Did the judge think about who would get Chloe if they lock Todd and Julie Chrisley up? And there is no parole or probation in fed time," one Twitter user wrote. Meanwhile, another tweeted, "Chrisleys going to jail and I feel bad for Chloe the most."
So what does this mean for little Chloe? And who are her biological parents, anyway? The answer just might surprise you...
Kyle Chrisley and Angela Johnson are Chloe Chrisley's parents
While many are under the misconception that Todd and Julie Chrisley only have three children, diehard "Chrisley Knows Best" fans know that Todd has two older children from a previous marriage: Lindsie and Kyle Chrisley. His granddaughter, Chloe, is his son Kyle's daughter.
The story goes that Todd and Julie were awarded custody of Chloe due to ongoing issues with her birth parents, Kyle and Angela Johnson. "I haven't been the best dad to Chloe, I've had a problem with drugs, I've acted completely ridiculous," Kyle confessed in a Facebook post in 2019, per Life & Style. Meanwhile, Chloe's mother has experienced her own problems. Per The Cinemaholic, Johnson was arrested in 2016 for allegedly committing Medicaid fraud. It does appear, however, that Chloe gets to visit with her biological parents. In November, Kyle wished Chloe a happy birthday on Instagram. "I can't believe how fast these 10 years have flown. You're turning into such an amazing little lady and you're so beautiful, " he penned in the post. "Gosh how I wish things were different. I would give you the world if I could.. I hope you've had a great day today and I love you so much, always!"
But now that Todd and Julie are looking at hard time in federal prison, where will little Chloe go? Here's what we know...
Savannah Chrisley now has custody of Chloe Chrisley

Chloe Chrisley's aunt and fan favorite Savannah Chrisley is stepping up to the plate!
On the November 21 episode of her "Unlocked" podcast, Savannah shared that she now has custody of her youngest brother, 16-year-old Grayson Chrisley, and her niece, 10-year-old Chloe. "[I'm] trying to navigate how you teach two younger children who aren't fully developed yet and ... get them to understand the circumstances," she explained, per Us Weekly. "That's a really, really difficult thing," she added. Indeed no small feat. Still, she was adamant that she would give them "love and hugs" through it all.
Fortunately, shortly after Savannah revealed that she was serving as Grayson and Chloe's guardian, she was met with a flurry of support on social media. "I just have to say my heart goes out for this family. I'm sorry I mean the kids are gonna suffer it's nobody's gonna suffer more than the children. So I'm sending prayers to #SavannahChrisley. Honey you have to play the role of mom and dad. and it breaks my heart," one Twitter user wrote.

DIFC Courts Recognise Side Agreements in Injunction Proceedings for the First Time
Peter Smith - Senior Associate - International Litigation Group / Litigation
Al Tamimi & Company has successfully acted on behalf of three claimants to obtain interim injunctive relief from the DIFC Court of First Instance against a defendant based in the Emirate of Ajman, in a dispute arising from breaches of various agreements ('the Side Agreement', 'the Shareholders' Agreement' and the 'Lease Agreement') governing the operation of a school in the Emirate.
The DIFC Courts found it had jurisdiction to hear the application for relief in accordance with clauses in the Side Agreement and Shareholder's Agreement that opted into the DIFC's jurisdiction and amended the explicit terms of the memorandum of association ('MOA') which created the third claimant under the UAE Commercial Companies Law (Federal Law no.8 of 1984 as amended by Federal Law no.2 of 2015; the 'Commercial Companies Law').
The first claimant was a businessman who owned the second claimant, a company registered in the Emirate of Ajman. The defendant was the sponsor and a nominee shareholder of the third claimant, another company registered in Ajman, which owned a school there. Under the relevant agreement, the defendant owned 51 percent of the third claimant's shareholding but held it on trust for the second claimant, and through a multi-year lease, he leased to the claimants the land and buildings on which the school was established.
The claimants complained that the defendant was interfering unjustly in the operation of the school which the parties had opened on the defendant's land. The defendant had granted the first claimant powers to manage the third claimant and the school under a power of attorney ('POA') made in accordance with the Side Agreement.
The defendant revoked the POA with the effect of freezing the third claimant's bank accounts and assets. The claimants sought urgent injunctive relief from the DIFC Courts, requesting remedies that would allow them to continue to operate the school.
The DIFC Court Injunction and Return Date
The Court granted an interim injunction on an ex-parte basis. Amongst other interim remedies ordered pending trial of the dispute, the DIFC Courts ordered the defendant to reinstate the POA, so the third claimant and the school could continue their operations, as well as to return a number of post-dated cheques that the defendant held as payment for the school's future rent of its property from him.
At the return date hearing for the injunction, the defendant argued that the interim injunction order should be set aside because the DIFC Courts did not have jurisdiction to hear the underlying claim brought by the claimants.
The defendant submitted that the MOA was a constitutional document of the third claimant which took precedence over the Side Agreement and Shareholder Agreement which, he said, had not been, and were not capable of being, validly notarised, attested and registered in accordance with the Commercial Companies Law. The dispute was, therefore, outside the jurisdiction of the DIFC Courts because the standard dispute resolution clause in the MOA meant that disputes should be decided under the jurisdiction of the Ajman Courts.
The defendant also said that the substance of the dispute related to alleged breaches of the lease agreement which was governed by the laws of the Emirate of Ajman and was subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of Ajman. He argued that other facts of the case pointed to the Ajman Courts being the appropriate forum for the dispute: the defendant was a UAE national domiciled in Ajman; the claim related to a school located in Ajman; the material agreements were concluded, notarised and registered (where applicable) in Ajman; and the second and third claimants were registered as companies in the Emirate of Ajman and the Ajman Free Zone.
The claimants responded, arguing that the Side and Shareholders' agreements expressly gave priority to the terms of those agreements in the case of any conflict with the MOA; the default term in the MOA and Commercial Companies law would necessarily mean that disputes with companies registered in Ajman would have to be heard in Ajman, regardless of jurisdictional clauses in relevant contracts; and in accordance with the DIFC Courts' own findings in cases like Standard Chartered Bank v IGPL [2015] CFI 026, the DIFC Courts were courts of the UAE for the purposes of the MOA and, by implication, the Commercial Companies Law.
The claimants denied that their claim was substantially over the lease agreement: they had pleaded breaches of terms of the Side and Shareholders' agreements too. Finally, they said that the DIFC Courts did not recognise the application of the doctrine of forum non conveniens when other domestic courts of the UAE could have jurisdiction over the dispute (following Investment Group Private Ltd v Standard Chartered Bank [2015] DIFC CA 004). Even if the doctrine applied, Article 31(5) of the UAE Civil Procedure Code allows parties to opt out of the Ajman Courts' jurisdiction where gateways into other jurisdictions were available.
In his ex tempore judgment, the Judge, H.E. Justice Omar Al Muhairi, upheld the injunction pending trial of the defendant's jurisdiction application. He considered that the DIFC Courts had jurisdiction to make the injunction, given the structure of the agreements. He also found that the balance of convenience favoured the claimants on the facts.
The Court has established a helpful precedent for entertaining disputes based on exclusive jurisdiction clauses in favour of the DIFC contained within side or nominee agreements in respect of companies incorporated outside of the DIFC, notwithstanding the express terms of any articles of association. This is particularly important given the DIFC Courts' willingness to make interim orders and grant interim injunctive relief, which provide useful and flexible tools for contracting parties.
The facts that none of the parties in this case had any substantial link to the DIFC and that the defendant was based in Ajman were overridden by the clear and express DIFC jurisdiction clauses in at least two of the agreements, which were given contractual priority by the agreements.
The DIFC Courts have also demonstrated the adaptable rules of contractual interpretation used in reading and interpreting formal company documents together with nominee or side agreements.

On April 21, one of the largest services for Instagram promotion was closed at the official request of the Instagram administration. One of the alleged causes was a local political conflict between the creators of the service and the administration of the social network. The administration of our blog tells you why Instalex now — one of the best alternatives on the market.
Service Instagress was used by 100,000 people weekly. The service offered mass-following, mass-liking and other services, through which you can promote your account in the Instagram social network. Nevertheless, most users of the service got problems with the administration of the service. Instagress has not been updated for a long time and did not add new features to the set for promotion of the account.This led not only to problems with the user side, but also local problems, since the geographic service is located in the United States.
The situation with Instragress is not the most pleasant. However, let's take a look at this case from the positive side: now the market will be freed from the stagnation of one service. Potentially evolving services can attract more customers by introducing new functions.
That's why we offer you to take a part in history of Instagram promotion. We present Instalex — promotional tool for Instagram, which can help you promote your account with needed criteria on any range.
Instalex offers full cycle of Instagram promotion with detailed settings to improve promotional power. For example, if you are aiming to get followers on your business account — just choose needed options, such as gender, account activity and many others. Do activities only if target account has no more than specified number of followers. If people have many followers they may not pay attention to your activity because they get many followers, likes and comments each day — it is usual for them.

A Blakean Year: 2022
As we emerged out of lockdowns in 2022, so the year turned out to be an active one for Blake in the arts.
Jason Whittaker
On a personal level, this Blakean year began with a bang rather than a whimper as Sibylle Erle and I organised the Global Blake conference. More than 40 speakers gathered online to discuss aspects of Blake's reception around the globe, whether revolutionary comic strips in Italy, Blake and the counterculture in Brazil, or his relations to Zen Buddhism in Japan. You can view recordings of the conference as well as subsequent talks on Zoamorphosis or the Global Blake site.
While that was a personal achievement, Blake was making waves elsewhere. One of my particular favourites for the year was Christine Oatman's Stories of Innocence and Experience, an installation that emulated a 1950s classroom with various tableaux of books and educational apparatus displayed as the tools forming our transition from innocence to experience - all of it, as the title of the piece indicates, greatly influenced by Blake. January also saw the performance by RSC actress, Ruth Rosen, of her one-woman show Burning Bright at the Keats Community Library in London, while various commentators reflected on the new year's revelations that Radiohead frontman, Thom Yorke, wrote some of his music under the influence of Blake. Other big name musicians who likewise talked about their passion for Blake during the year were PJ Harvey to Rolling Stone, and Bono on the BBC's Desert Island Discs, while Billy Bragg talked about Blake and nationalism to the Blake Society and in an interview with Vanity Fair about his forthcoming museum, Bob Dylan said that Blake was ever present.
As well as passing references to the Romantic's influence, 2022 saw some substantial musical contributions: in May, Parthenia, a viol consort in New York, performed A Reliquary for William Blake, Will Ayton's composition for viols and voice based on several of Blake's poems. In September, the Scottish classical guitarist Sean Shibe released an album, Lost & Found, that took inspiration from Blake as well as Hildegard von Bingen. Throughout November and December, St James's Church, Piccadilly - the church where the artist was baptised as a baby - held a series of concerts and talks called Visions and Voices: Inspired by William Blake. The highlights of this season included a performance of The Westbrook Blake by Mike Westbrook and his band, and A Golden String in which I was on stage alongside Susheela Raman and Sam Mills. December also saw the performance by Tiffany Skidmore of electro-acoustic opera called The William Blake Cycle: Unseen, Unbodied, Unknown at Virginia Tech.
In February, the fashion house of the late Alexander McQueen announced its Spring-Summer collection inspired by Blake's designs, and after its huge exhibition that was interrupted by the pandemic, Tate Britain announced a series of new free displays that included Blake as well as John Singer Sargent. Blake's poetry made its first appearance on TV for the year as "Poison Tree" was recited during an episode of Peaky Blinder, one of my other favourites of the year being a reference to Auguries of Innocence in the SF series, The Peripheral which aired in October on Amazon Prime. (Trivia: The shows creators had previously name checked the same lines in Westworld.)
Throughout the year there were various exhibitions by artists who claimed Blake as an inspiration, beginning with Theodora Allen, whose exhibition Syzygy went on show at the Poe & Blum gallery in Santa Monica in February. Hew Locke's The Procession at Tate Britain likewise used Blake's images of abused slaves, while in Asheville, North Carolina, Melissa Crouch and Mina Gerard opened a new gallery, The Tiger, that sought to bring with it a Blakean sense of openness to art. Towards the end of the year, Sudanese painter Kamala Ibrahim Ishag put on her show, States of Oneness at the Serpentine Gallery, and Srijon Chowdhury included art that took elements of Blake's "The Human Abstract" for an art piece displayed as part of Same Old Song at Seattle Art Gallery. There was also an important online exhibition of "fake Blakes" - illuminated books produced after Blake's death using his plates or facsimiles - on the Blake Archive.
Elsewhere in the arts, there were a number of stage performances of Blake-inspired works as well as Burning Bright already mentioned. The most significant was the return of Jez Butterworth's play, Jerusalem at the Apollo Theatre in London, starring Mark Rylance and Mackenzie Crook. In May, Toby Pritchard performed his one-man show, Albion, Awake! at Swedenborg House, while Linda Wilkinson's play Ghosts on a Wire about the London coal station, The Pioneer, and which included William Blake as a character, had its premiere in May at the Union Theatre, Southwark. The year ended with the theatre group Complicité announcing a cast to put on a theatrical version of Olga Tokarczuk's Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead to be performed in 2023.
This year saw the return of the Glastonbury William Blake festival, with performances by Jenny Bliss, Tim Gallagher and many more, while London-based architects used AI and culinary delights to construct a Blake-inspired fantasy. The combination of tech, art and Blake continued in Apple stores, which teamed up with the Getty Museum to create Blake's devils from his illustrations to Dante for the London Apple Store.
It only remains to mark the sad news during this year, which saw the passing of the artist Simon Lewty, who included Blake among his various inspirations, and Niall McDevitt, the poet and activist whose work took much of its inspiration from Blake.

I am in Mumbai for 17 years, Papa said it will return in 3 months: Neha
About 17 years ago, Neha Dhupiyya, when she left Delhi and went to Mumbai's dream city, her father thought that she would be back soon. Though Neha considers herself lucky for her long career but she wants to do a lot more.
Neha made her debut with the Malayalam film 'Minnaram' in 1994. After that, he won Femina Miss India title in 2002 and a year later, he stepped into Bollywood with the film 'Doom: City Under Threat'.
Asked about his career, Neha said, "I am happy that I am a career. I remember when I was 20 and had come to Mumbai to make my life, my father had booked my ticket and told me That I think you will be back in three months. Y
Neha said that he still has that ticket. He said, I have been here in Mumbai for the last 17 years. The actress said that as a person today they have much faith in themselves.
He said, "I am happy with whatever decisions I have taken in my life. I am happy that I have the option and I have made a life in a city where I had never gone before.
I always want to do more. Happy box office is not defined by your earnings orimage because you are struggling to do better every day.
Apart from Neha 'Hindi Medium' and 'Tumari Suloo', 'Julie' has worked in many films like 'One forty's Last Local', 'Mithya', 'Sing Is King' and 'Daswidania'.
On the question of regret, Neha said, "There is no regret except to choose the wrong choices for the sake of work, nothing else." Neha is now heading a gang in the action reality show 'Roadies Extreme' on MTV. Looks lik

There's no question TV chef George Calombaris knows his way around a kitchen.
But some of his neighbours say there's nothing tasteful about his latest renovation.
We live in a friendly local community and are passionate about ensuring it remains a great neighbourhood for families.
Like all homeowners who undertake renovations or home improvements, I understand the need to keep the relevant neighbours informed of any works and ensure they go as smoothly as possible and create as little impact as possible on the people around us.
As the owner of the property I have undertaken minor works to my home and these have been done strictly in accordance with all permits and consents.
As is normal practice, Stonnington Council sought objections to the planned building on our property and one objection was received.
After a full briefing on the building plans, that objection was withdrawn and Stonnington Council approved the building permit on December 19, 2017.
We have also continued to ensure our neighbours who share a land boundary with us were kept informed of the progress of the construction works - as we were required to do - and those neighbours have expressed no issue with the construction or the process that took place.
A private building surveyor has been appointed and Council is not the relevant authority in this matter.
The Victorian Building Authority has received the complaint and are in the preliminary stages of looking into it.


Turbulence Ahead: Who Says They Want a Revolution?
In the afflicted nations, public protests and disturbances are increasing as the populace rejects greater austerity. Populist politicians, willing to reject the need for further "sacrifice" and repudiate the country's debt, hover in the wings. The argument that the country will be an international "financial pariah" don't carry much weight when you are already one with no one likely to lend you money any time soon. It also has less weight when you don't have a job and the country is on the brink of social breakdown.
Instead there is placid laziness alternating with gross sensation-seeking, reinforced by the rainy climate (which make rioting risky - who wants to riot in the rain? But encouraging ) - but all that domestication will act against the English if society becomes disordered and resistance is required.
So instead of revolution we face the prospect of something more akin to what is happening in Belfast right now: mindless thuggery masquerading as violent protest against 'the system'. A policing problem, not a political problem. Or at least that's how it'll be until the money runs out. Then we'll all be reminded that civilisation is three meals away from anarchy.


Our driver was at the airport to meet us. The air conditioned car was parked conveniently and our journey to the hotel was smooth.
Excellent trip from Nice Airport to Monte Carlo.
Our driver, Amdi, was great. Very professional and personable. Drove us from Nice to Monaco. We forgot a bag and he drove an extra 30 minutes to return it to us. Great service!
Very easy to arrange and purchase the transportation option.
Very efficient service. Short walk to the car and a smooth transfer to our hotel.
This is a great service & it executed exactly as I wanted. Easy to book with prompt confirmation & vouchers. The driver was there with a large sign with my name on it when we got off the ship. Quick, quiet ride to NCE airport in a clean, roomy Mercedes van.
Driver was there to meet us as planned. Excellent service.

About International Studies
Global and Intercultural Studies
ITS major Elyse Legeay (right) with 3 fellow students at an oasis in Chebika, Tunisia (Spring 2020)
The International Studies (ITS) major at Miami is one of the nation's oldest of its kind. ITS is a program in the Department of Global and Intercultural Studies and offers a interdisciplinary major drawing from concepts and courses in:
economics and international business
The distinctive nature of our program is based on:
the rigorous language requirement (3-4 years)
integrative nature of the coursework
ITS is at its heart an interdisciplinary approach to studying the world. We believe that most global problems and issues are too complex to be understood through a single disciplinary perspective. Students therefore take a series of courses from many academic departments. They learn about the world through a multiplicity of lenses. All of our students study abroad as a necessary means of learning how to operate effectively in a different cultural context.
"We strive to give students a solid liberal arts background in conjunction with an international emphasis and foreign language skills."
The BA degree with a major in International Studies appeals to students with academic interests and career plans that intersect with peoples and places in the world beyond the United States.
Our students gather many honors including:
Fulbrights
Critical Language Fellowships
Gilman International Scholarships
Provost's Student Academic Achievement Awards
University Summer Scholar Awards
and others …
International Studies majors are successful in finding internships related to their academic interests. In 2015, 58% of graduating ITS majors had completed at least one internship experience.
Our 2015 graduating seniors reported the following post-graduation plans:
38% Private sector jobs including:
researchers and analysts
31% Professional and graduate school including:
international relations/diplomacy
19% Public sector jobs including:
U.S. foreign service
government analysts
federal, state and local service coordinators
12% Volunteer and non-profit sector jobs including
Peacecorps
children's advocacy
refugee service
Many of our graduates work overseas and draw extensively from the study abroad, language training and analytical skills learned as part of their ITS degree.

Als Hautblutung bezeichnet man den Blutaustritt (Erythrodiapedese) aus Blutgefäßen in die Haut oder Schleimhäute. Die Ursache für eine Hautblutung kann eine Verletzung oder eine krankhaft erhöhte Blutungsneigung sein. Frische Hautblutungen zeigen sich durch eine rötliche Verfärbung der Haut. Durch den Abbau des in den Erythrozyten (rote Blutkörperchen) enthaltenen Hämoglobins kann sich diese Farbe über die Zeit nach braun, grün und gelb verändern.

Hautblutungen haben zwei prinzipielle Ursachen:
 Schäden im Endothel
 Gerinnungsstörungen (Koagulopathien)

Je nach Art und Größe der Hautblutung werden in der Medizin unterschiedliche Bezeichnungen verwendet:

Neben diesen Termini sind noch die Begriffe Vibices (streifenartige Hautblutungen) und Suffusionen (flächenhafte Hautblutungen).

Von diesen Hautblutungen sind das Erythem und die Roseolen zu unterscheiden. Dabei handelt es sich um vorübergehende vermehrte Gefäßfüllungen, die sich beispielsweise mit einem Glasspatel wegdrücken lassen.

Hey folks. Fantastic, nearly-full-time job opportunity with KALW in SF. Details here and below. Go for it!
The KALW News team is looking for an experienced and creative sound engineer/sound designer to help mix our daily news magazine Crosscurrents. You'll work alongside our senior engineer, Chris Hoff, joining the ranks of top-flight sound designers who have engineered our show, including Roman Mars (99% Invisible), Colin Anderson (Maximum Fun), and Seth Samuel (Deep Look).
Crosscurrents airs Monday through Thursday evenings on KALW public radio in the San Francisco Bay Area. Our tagline is "context, culture, and connection," and we deliver through sonically rich, thought-provoking, long-form stories. Our work typically uses a lot of natural sound from field recordings and frequently utilizes music to enhance the storytelling.
Your main duties will be to mix feature stories from scratch; shorten stories that have already been mixed; cut interviews; track reporters and our show host Hana Baba; mix the show, itself; and contribute your own ideas to the overall sound of Crosscurrents. Our show has a specific sound, and we want to retain this; but we are also open to adding to it, to improving it, to making it as great as we possibly can. So new ideas and thoughts on mixing and sound design are always welcome.
As part of its mission, the KALW News department trains many people in the art and craft of journalistic audio storytelling. It makes for a dynamic and energized newsroom with a changing cast. We have a steady team of experienced core staffers and contributors with whom you'll work most closely, but you'll also work with people who are still learning to do this work well.
This is an independent contract position for approximately 32 hours a week, Monday-Thursday.
An editorial ear, i.e., an ear that can detect what's boring or confusing, both in language and in sound.
To apply, please send a cover letter, CV, clips or links, and references to KALWapplications@gmail.com. Application deadline is Thursday, August 6, 2015, 11:59 PT.
Hey folks. Great opportunity here to attend PRPD with a scholarship from AIR. I'm going to this conference for the first time and would love to meet up with any AIR or Freelance Cafe folks who might be there. Drop me a line if you're going! Details about the scholarship below.
As AIR's network expands (our year-over-year growth increased 73 percent in the first half of 2015), we are working to open the golden age of talent — and its opportunities — to a diverse, inclusive range of media makers.
AIR's New Voices scholarships (http://airmedia.org/programs/new-voices-scholarships/) are available for those who can contribute fresh craft, diversity or perspective to the network and media.
If you are, or if you know, someone who can help make public media more inclusive, apply or help us spread the word (https://airmedia.wufoo.com/forms/airs-2015-new-voices-scholarship/).
The scholarship brings new talent to industry gatherings — this year, to the Public Radio Program Directors' conference in Pittsburgh (http://www.prpd.org/conference/2015.aspx) — where they will find a peer support network, opportunities to meet industry leaders, and chances to share their interests, concerns and work.
WE SEEK: Creative makers from all corners of the country who are new to public media. You do not have to be an AIR member to apply (https://airmedia.wufoo.com/forms/airs-2015-new-voices-scholarship/).
WE OFFER: New Voices scholars receive up to $1,500 in funding to subsidize the costs of attending the conference. They gain access to the PRPD Conference and additional New Voices only programming in Pittsburgh, as well as access to the New Voices alumni network.
DEADLINE: Friday, Aug. 21, 2015 at 5 p.m. PT. Applications that are not completed at 5 p.m. will not be saved and cannot be considered.
CONFERENCE DETAILS: PRPD convenes program directors, reporters, editors, producers and managers for conversation about where public media is and where it can go. Read full conference details at the PRPD website (http://www.prpd.org/conference/2015.aspx).
MORE: Seven years of New Voices alumni include some of the most interesting, sought-after talent rising in public media. They're working at the network and station levels and as independents, domestic and international.
Please read through the New Voices FAQ (http://airmedia.org/programs/new-voices-scholarships/) in its entirety before completing the application.
Questions? Contact AIR Talent Manager Bec Feldhaus Adams at Rebecca@airmedia.org.
Feet in 2 Worlds seeks pitches – many media accepted. Deadline Aug 15. Details below.
The New School's 10-year-old immigration reporting project Feet in 2 Worlds is looking for new contributors for their fall food issue — please pitch us!
Full details re: topics + medium are below. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me directly.
This is a really excellent journalism project that works to bring immigrant reporters + perspectives into public media. Good work + good people — please join us!
Sustainable, local, organic, artisanal – these terms help define and frame today's food culture. Do these terms have different meanings for immigrants? If organic food is harvested by immigrant workers who are underpaid for their labor, is it sustainable?
The next issue of the Feet in 2 Worlds online magazine will explore the intersection of immigrant food and culture with these concepts from today's food scene. Immigrants – their labor, culture, and recipes – occupy every position in the food chain, yet their stories often go untold or are misrepresented.
We are looking for stories in any medium – audio, video, photo essay, text, info-graphic – that help bring a deeper understanding to these complex issues and shine a light on unseen parts of the food system. The stories we seek to tell will use the tools of narrative journalism, be investigative in nature, go beyond clichés and stereotypes, and will advance our mission to bring underreported stories from immigrant communities to new audiences on public radio and online.
Deconstructing a meal – where do the ingredients come from?
Hidden food systems/hidden people – how immigrants participate in food industries and food culture in unseen ways.
Immigrant food entrepreneurs and locally made ethnic food products.
Scraps – how food is reused and conserved in ethnic dishes and immigrant kitchens.
The deadline for submissions is August 15, 2015. Please send submissions by email to anne [at] cityspoonful [dot] com.
AIR established a national standard for freelance rates in 2002 that has been adopted across the public radio industry. In 2012, following this model, we worked with the Public Radio News Directors Association (PRNDI) to publish a rate schedule for indies working with local stations. More recently, we've successfully negotiated with major national outlets to increase rates across the board, and we undertook a study with the Independent Television Service (ITVS) comparing revenues of independent filmmakers and radio producers.
In response to calls from freelance producers and commissioning editors, programs, and networks in the AIR ecosystem, we're presenting a basic rate guide for podcasting and a standard template agreement for audio freelancers and podcasters, both of which follow established best practices.

Marlowe Tower was a place where wealthy capitalists went to grow their already large stake in the world. After parking their expensive imported cars at nearby garages, they entered at street level through the air lock created by the polished brass revolving doors, wearing their hand- crafted leather shoes and customtailored silk suits, each determined to make his fortune, whether it was his fi rst, his second, or some subsequent iteration thereof.
