The Covid-19 pandemic threw into stark relief the multi-dimensional threats created by neoliberal capitalism. Government measures to alleviate the crisis were largely inadequate, leaving women – in particular working-class women – to carry the increased burden of care work while at the same time placing themselves in direct risk as frontline workers. Emancipatory Feminism in the Time of Covid-19, the seventh volume in the Democratic Marxism series, explores how many subaltern women – working class, peasant and indigenous – challenge hegemonic neoliberal feminism through their resistance to ordinary capitalist practices and ecological extractivism. Contributors cover women’s responses in a wide range of contexts: from women leading the defence of Rojava – the Kurdish region of Syria, to approaches to anti-capitalist ecology and building food secure pathways in communities across Africa, to championing climate justice in mining affected communities and transforming gender divisions in mining labour practices in South Africa, to contesting macro-economic policies affecting the working conditions of nurses. Their practices demonstrate a feminist understanding of the current systemic crises of capitalism and patriarchal oppression. What is offered in this collection is a subaltern women’s grassroots resistance focused on advancing and enabling solidarity-based political projects, deepening democracy, building capacities and alliances to advance new feminist alternatives.

\"19 Therefore, this defendant's actions did not sufficiendv connect him with the forum state.20 B. Martinez v. Aero Caribbean In Martinez v. Aero Caribbean, an airplane crashed in Cuba and everyone on board was killed.21 Heirs of one of the passengers sued the owners (the Cuban defendants) and the manufacturer of the plane, Avions de Transport Régional (ATR), for wrongful death and negligence.22 Before the Cuban defendants were properly served, ATR moved to dismiss.23 The Northern District of California granted the motion to dismiss and entered a judgment with respect to ATR, but not with respect to the unserved Cuban defendants.24 The plaintiffs appealed.25 \"Therefore, at the time plaintiffs filed their notice of appeal with [the Ninth Circuit], their claims against the Cuban defendants remained pending before the district court. Characterizing the plaintiffs' theory of causation as \"sheer speculation,\" the court granted summary judgment in favor of the United States.342 The court also granted summary judg- ment in favor of Agusta, holding that the pilots followed the controller's instructions of ATC, kept the Grumman in sight as instructed, maintained appropriate separation, and complied with all pertinent Federal Aviation Regulations.343 Collaterally, the Turturro case also addresses the FAA's duty to preserve radar data in the context of the plaintiffs' claim for the spoliation of evidence.344 As a non-radar facility, the PNE Tower had no radar data to produce.345 However, the plaintiffs' expert expected that Philadelphia International Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) would have coverage of PNE and requested its radar data pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act.346 By the time the request was submitted, 105 days after the accident, the data had been overwritten subject to the facility's standard forty-five day retention policy.347 The plaintiffs alleged that the FAA was aware of its culpability imme- diately after the accident, but nevertheless destroyed radar evidence that would enable the plaintiffs to prove their claims.348 In response, the United States referred the court to the FAA's document retention policy which, inter alia, provides that \"an air traffic facility that 'provided no direct or indirect air traffic services to the aircraft in question' must retain documentation such as radar data only '[w]hen requested by specific persons.

Purpose - Librarians have traditionally followed a model of service based on a professional ethic. Attempts to introduce a retail model of service have generally met with staff resistance. The study aims to ask librarians about their attitudes to the retail and professional models of service and what they did not like about the retail model.Design methodology approach - Data were drawn from focus groups consisting of experienced reference librarians.Findings - Results suggest that librarians behave differently while front-stage and backstage. They resist the retail model because it is perceived to replace service based upon knowledge with fake behaviour.Practical implications - Managers can draw on the results when considering how best to improve the service provided by library staff who prefer the professional model of service over the retail model.Originality value - The use of Goffman's theory of dramaturgy has highlighted previously unknown attitudes to service held by reference librarians that will slow or stop the introduction of the retail model of service.

This article explores the concept and feasibility of fast-tracking older people through A&E services to enable appropriate admission and quality responsive patient care. It illustrates how an academic assignment undertaken as part of a pre-registration programme could be adapted for publication to challenge thinking and encourage examination of potential new ways of working.

Napoleon Bonaparte's epic march to Paris blazed a trail that even France's visionary little corporal could never have dreamed would become a favorite tourist highway.
