[bereft-of-frogs]

considering it's sunday and clearly I've given up on my internet-free weekend (got a lot harder when I was no longer looking at a lake and now have things that I'd like to avoid thinking about - grocery shopping, going back to work tomorrow, etc etc) so I have another theory to post

why did Osha leave the Jedi six years ago?

I'm not sure they're actually going to answer this one (except in one case, if it ends up being that they might address it in the last episode), and it's not necessarily on my list of '4-5 mysteries that they're saving for season 2' (I think those will be mostly focused on Qimir and his history and relationship with the Sith). I think they might just purposefully leave it vague or unexplored. But I think it's a few things blended together:

not being able to let go of her anger, resentment, and grief at what (she thinks) Mae does. Definitely would be an issue with the Jedi, if they're sensing that she's really not letting things go. This definitely I think is the surface level conclusion they're pointing to, from the dialogue in the first interview, about her struggling to let go of her grief and being particularly old when she joined. Did maybe something happen that made clear she wasn't going to get over it and she was in danger of traveling down a bad road? How upset she gets about her sense of 'failure' would point to something happening.

her personality tends towards independence while she craves belonging. I think Osha is desperate to feel a sense of belonging but also bucks against that structure. She struggles with the conformity of the coven and thinks she wants to be a Jedi, but I could see once there, her also struggling with the communal nature of the Order. Aniseya also points out her fickle nature in one of their last conversations ('you think you want to be a Jedi, but what you want will change'). I'm not saying it's true or that Aniseya was right, but I could see a child going over and over some of her last conversations with her mother, that doubt might stick in her mind like 'oh what if my mother was right and this isn't right for me either, I'll just fail at this too.'

her power fades or never fully develops. Osha....doesn't actually seem that powerful in the Force. Aniseya and Qimir both seem to imply she is very powerful/special, but something's not clicking for her. I don't know that we've seen a former/washed out Jedi struggling that hard as we see Osha struggling. (*Correct me if I'm wrong though, the only examples that are coming immediately to mind are Cal in Fallen Order - which might be a medium issue, you need *some* baseline skill to get past the early parts of the game and start collecting others - and Kanan in A New Dawn, both of whom had suppressed their abilities to hide from the Empire, but were able to do pretty big things in emergency situations. Ty Yorrick I'm not sure is a good example because she seems like an outlier in a few ways.) And aside from being unable to move Pip on the crashing ship, she seemed to be struggling even when she was with the coven, both in the first scene with the little butterfly things and in the training scene. It could be that she just never was that strong and 6 years ago it started to fade and that combined with her clear inability to let go of her resentment towards her sister led Indara to recommend her training stop?

this is more like point 3.5 (and this is where, IF they're going this route I think they would address it this season): Osha and Mae are clearly connected and in one interview (argh bad citation practice I don't have the link or the quote) Amandla said that she was trying to always play them in balance, so when one twin started expressing one personality trait, the other would lose it. Would this work with their strength in the Force as well? Is it possible that 6 years ago was when Mae began training under the Sith Master, honing her skills more for her revenge quest, and that caused Osha's abilities to fade? Maybe they're out of balance somehow, maybe Osha not going through with the ascension caused this, or maybe it's possible that Mae was just always stronger, but...I'm considering it.

Like I said, unless they go the 'the twins are connected and out of balance' route, I don't actually think they'll address it. It doesn't seem that compelling to put on the 'mysteries left on the table for season 2' list (which I think are going to be almost entirely about Qimir and the Sith, given other interviews and where I think the ending is going). I think they'll just let the line that gets cut off (the part where either Yord says 'Indara advised you stop training when you were--' and she cuts them off to insist it was her choice) hang, not unlike whatever Indara was about to say about Republic law. I don't think they want to box themselves in, so took the convenient interruption route to avoid committing. But it is something I'm wondering about!

this hath been a theory.

Spoilers for The Acolyte below. I'm serious. S p o i l e r s

Carrie Anne Moss was a centerpiece for their marketing campaign.

Her character, a Jedi, is killed within the first five minutes.

She is one of about four random Jedi we do not get to know , whom (one of) Amandla Stenberg's characters is seeking revenge against.

For reasons we still don't really know or care about within the first two episodes.

I don't know about anyone else, but when you get Carrie Anne Moss in your production only to drop her like that?

If that gives you any idea as to the quality of the writing, well.

Stenberg plays twins in this one, Osha and Mae, in a standard, hackneyed, "one of them was thought to be dead" scenario. Both twins were once Jedi-in-training, as children, and the one everyone assumed was dead (Mae) went off to join a Sith (how do we know? The red lightsaber and wanting to kill Jedi is a pretty big giveaway), while the other is a Cal Kestis-type mechnec with a pip droid who dropped out of Jedi High to tool around on Trade Federation ships.

Like you do.

It's assumed that Osha is the Jedi killer (in spite having zero reason), and this gets their old Jedi teacher involved and a non-chase to easily find out the truth. I say "easily" since the Jedi are a weird non-presence in this one: they're everywhere and yet they make no impression (unlike the bureaucratic knobs of the Empire in Andor, the Jedi are just....moving wallpaper). Jedi should be at least marginally interesting, but with so much world-building work done in so many other Star Wars shows, this one doesn't care to offer anything new or insightful (and, to be fair, probably doesn't have time to).

These episodes are only 30 minutes long, re-hash a lot of old material and waste pretty much everyone involved. Along with Stenberg, this show has Dafne Keen, Lee Jung-jae, Manny Jacinto, Charlie Barnett and Jodie Turner-Smith in roles that really aren't much to phone home about. Only Keen, as a clever Padawan, leaves any kind of impression (and is also largely unrecognizable). There's a smidgeon of a hint of chemistry between Stenberg and Keen, but as one seems dedicated to her Jedi training, not counting on that going anywhere.

The end of episode two brings us to a world visited in the game Jedi: Survivor, where we meet a Wookie Jedi, presumably in hiding. Well, I mean, they say it's a Wookie, but it looks less like a cousin of Chewbacca and closer to Baby Bigfoot.

So far, this seems like an afternoon kid's special of Star Wars off-cuts that, who knows, might get better over its run. It's got enough talent behind it (not least of which is its queer showrunner, Leslye Headland who last exec produced Russian Doll and is gearing up to direct the film version of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo).

I'm still just stunned at the laziness of it all though.

You got fucking Trinity to wield a lightsaber for all of one minute and killed her off?

Without even a Padawan around to mourn her, this really looks like a cheap casting stunt.

Will we get to see what these Jedi did to piss off Rue's twin? IMDB has Moss down for only one episode. If this was all they used her for, yikes. For her five minutes of screen time, Moss added more gravity than any of the others combined and if we really don't see her again? What a waste.

The Modesto Bee: Workers allege union busting, file labor complaint against Modesto-area insulation plant

In the Occupational Safety and Health (OSHA) complaint, employees outlined a series of grievances, including the company’s failure to provide adequate safety training and gear. Workers also informed Cal-OSHA about the presence of pigeons nesting inside the plant, leaving droppings that could potentially contain parasites harmful to their health. “We shouldn’t have to work like this,” Cabrera said.

California farmworkers say they were fired for leaving jobs in heat. Could a bill prevent that?

Agricultural workers are 35 times more likely to die from heat-related stress than workers in other industries, according to the National Institutes of Health. Cortese and advocates say the bill is designed to promote employer compliance with added financial pressure and circumvent Cal-OSHA understaffing. Agricultural employers are already required to provide shade, hydration access, rest breaks and heat illness prevention training, per a 2005 California law. But all too often, Cortese said, employers fail to comply. One in six farmworkers reported not receiving the minimum number of rest breaks, according to a 2022 study from the UC Merced Community and Labor Center. “The laws are fine,” Cortese said. “They’ve been on the books for 19 years. We just want them enforced, and we’re going to insist on them being enforced.” Jorge Santana, one of the now-called “Yolo Six” farmworkers, said he called Cal-OSHA repeatedly to report concerns about heat safety the day the workers were let go. Santana, 61, didn’t hear back from an inspector until three weeks later.

Workers Compensation Insurance for Roofers In California

Introduction

Workers' compensation insurance is essential for high-risk professions such as roofing. Given the inherent dangers associated with roofing work, it is crucial for roofing companies in California to understand and comply with workers' compensation regulations. This article explores the key elements of workers' compensation insurance for roofing companies in California, including legal requirements, coverage options, challenges, and best practices.

Legal Requirements

In California, employers are required to carry workers' compensation insurance for all employees, including part-time, temporary, and seasonal workers. This mandate is particularly important for roofing companies due to the high-risk nature of the work.

Key Points:

Mandatory Coverage: Roofing companies must provide workers' compensation coverage for all employees, regardless of the duration or nature of their employment.

Compliance with State Laws: The California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) and the Division of Workers' Compensation (DWC) oversee compliance with workers' compensation regulations. Roofing companies must adhere to these regulations to avoid penalties and ensure employee protection.

Reporting and Record-Keeping: Employers are required to report work-related injuries and illnesses promptly and maintain accurate records.

Coverage Options

Roofing companies in California have several options for obtaining workers' compensation insurance. These include purchasing a policy from a private insurance carrier, utilizing the state's assigned risk pool for high-risk employers, or self-insuring if the company meets specific financial criteria set by the DIR.

Key Points:

Private Insurance: Many roofing companies prefer private insurance for its flexibility and variety of available policies.

State Compensation Insurance Fund (SCIF): SCIF is a state-run program that provides workers' compensation insurance, especially for businesses that have difficulty obtaining coverage through private insurers.

Self-Insurance: Larger companies with substantial financial stability might choose to self-insure. This option requires state approval and a demonstration of financial capability.

Challenges for Roofing Companies

Roofing companies face unique challenges in managing workers' compensation insurance:

High Risk of Injury: Roofing is a high-risk occupation with potential hazards such as falls, tool injuries, and exposure to extreme weather conditions.

Varied Work Environments: Roofers work in different environments, including residential, commercial, and industrial sites, each with unique safety challenges.

High Turnover: The roofing industry often experiences high employee turnover, complicating record-keeping and claims management.

Cost Management: The cost of workers' compensation insurance can be significant due to the high risk associated with roofing work.

Best Practices

To effectively manage workers' compensation insurance and minimize risks, roofing companies should implement several best practices:

Comprehensive Training: Provide thorough safety training tailored to the specific tasks and environments where employees will work. This includes fall prevention, proper use of tools, and safe handling of materials.

Regular Safety Audits: Conduct regular safety audits of job sites to identify and mitigate potential hazards. Ensure compliance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards and California's specific safety regulations (Cal/OSHA).

Effective Communication: Maintain open lines of communication with employees to quickly address any safety concerns or incidents. Encourage employees to report unsafe conditions and near-misses.

Accurate Record-Keeping: Keep detailed records of employee training, job assignments, and incident reports to streamline the claims process and ensure compliance with state regulations. Proper documentation is crucial for managing claims efficiently.

Return-to-Work Programs: Implement return-to-work programs to help injured employees transition back to their jobs. These programs can reduce the duration and cost of workers' compensation claims and improve employee morale.

Insurance Review: Regularly review insurance policies to ensure they provide adequate coverage for the company's current operations and adjust as necessary. This includes evaluating different insurance providers to find the best coverage options.

California's Unique Considerations

Medical Provider Network (MPN): Employers in California can establish an MPN, a network of healthcare providers to treat workers injured on the job. Employees generally must choose their treating doctor from the MPN.

Benefit Structure: Understanding California's specific benefits structure, including temporary disability, permanent disability, and medical benefits, is crucial for accurate claims management.

Vocational Rehabilitation: California law includes provisions for supplemental job displacement benefits (SJDB) to help injured workers who cannot return to their previous job.

Conclusion

Workers' compensation insurance is a critical component of managing a roofing company in California. By understanding the legal requirements, exploring coverage options, addressing unique challenges, and implementing best practices, roofing companies can protect their employees and their business. Effective management of workers' compensation not only ensures legal compliance but also contributes to a safer and more productive workforce, ultimately leading to a more successful roofing company.

As workplace violence remains a pressing issue, the importance of proactive prevention through comprehensive training cannot be overstated. A workplace violence prevention course in California is not just a regulatory requirement; it is a commitment to the safety and well-being of every employee.

My quick thoughts I put down while watching The Acolyte

I want to say I’m not bashing the show, I love Star Wars (if that wasn’t obvious.) and went into the show with not a lot of hope, but enthusiasm. I was decently surprised by how it was made, as well as how much I enjoy the characters. If my thoughts seem conflicting while you read on, that’s because I’ve noticed the show can contradict itself. With all of this being said, here are my thoughts I jaunted down while watching.

Dislikes:

One liners, too many one liners.

Manipulation inside the Jedi, one Jedi to another.

Jedi using the force, but not feeling through the force. (Not using it to feel if someone is telling the truth or searching the room.)

Foreseeable actions and consequences, as well as dialog. (Osha falling, Mae not getting caught.)

Jedi not having more defenses placed, this was not common during this time. (Think the Jedi games)  

There are force sensitive twins and one of them was taken into the order and trained at an unlikely age while in mourning; sound a bit familiar?

Empty dialog.

Jedi not using proper Jedi practices.

Almost seemingly empty build up.

Osha getting caught (“I know what this looks like, but I can explain” oh force, and the rest that follows is very textbook.)

Osha just… accepts that Mae is alive? There is a moment of surprise, then that’s that. Same the other way around, but Mae is more surprised.

Yord gives me the ick I don’t know.

Where are my PowerPoint presentation transitions?

Likes:

Droids and how you can see the evolution (pip having detachable head which has useful gear)

Use of the force which has been lacking in past couple movies, as well as tv.

Osha being a crafty and nifty girl who is caring, but quips well.

The costuming (brights mixed in with earthy browns, this offers a soothing feeling about the Jedi.)

Mae costume design being more fearsome with the blacks and dark browns, as well as a monk-ish feeling, but still apposing because of the bumps and wear on the gear. Mask for mystery. Purple, royalty, but also the feeling that she is trying to make herself bigger.

A look into the Jedi Order before Prequels in live action.

CORUSCANT!! 

We see that the trade federation wasn’t always bad.

I suppose it is just common for Jedi to leave and then do manual labor, Kenobi, Cal Kestis (HEAVY on Cal.) I don’t dislike this, I really think it’s fun, and it’s Star Wars. It also shows that Jedi, after they leave the order, don’t turn to mercenary jobs and such; most just want to be useful and make by. This also tells us that they want to be by people, but not with, if that makes sense.

We see the good in Jedi, how they often fight calm and collected, letting their opponents wear themselves down first. Seems like form 4 mixed together with a little bit of 3.

Force sensitive Wookie! Always a win.

Jecki Ion is a fun character and good Padawan, I can’t wait to see her and Osha’s character development.

Master Sol is clear thinking and intellectual, I like him.

Deaths at Disneyland:

A surprising number of deaths have occurred at Disneyland and here are some of the most well known ones.

In 1964,15-year-old boy from Long Beach, California was injured after he stood up in the Matterhorn Bobsleds and fell out. It was reported that his restraint was undone by his ride companion. He died three days later as a result of those injuries. This was Disneyland's first fatality.

In 1973, an 18-year-old man drowned after he and his little brother, who was 10, hid on Tom Swayer Island until after closing and then tried to swim across when they wanted to return home. The older brother tried to carry his younger brother to shore, but didn't make it. He disappeared under the water about halfway across. The 10-year-old was rescued by a ride operator, but the older boy's body wasn't found until the next morning. 

In 1998, Luan Phi Dawson, 33, and Lieu Thuy Vuong, 43, were waiting to board Columbia. As the boat docked at the Rivers of America, it tore a metal cleat loose, which struck both Dawson and Vuong. Vuong survived, but Dawson was declared brain-dead two days later. 

Two teenagers were killed 13 years apart, both while trying to hop cars while on the People Mover. Ricky Lee Yama, 17, was crushed to death in 1967 and Gerardo Gonzalez, 18, was crushed and dragged by a car when he fell onto the track. 

In 2003, Marcelo Torres, 22, was killed on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad when the car he was on separated from the rest of the train. Torres was the only fatality, but several other passengers sustained injuries.

A 75-year-old man jumped to his death from a 9th floor balcony of the Disneyland Hotel. This was the first suicide known to be committed at the Disneyland Resort in 1994.

A 48-year-old woman was killed when she was thrown from a Matterhorn Bobsled car and struck by the next oncoming bobsled. The spot where she was killed is now called "Dolly's Drop" by cast members. An investigation found that her seatbelt was not buckled. It is unclear whether the victim deliberately unfastened her belt or if the seatbelt malfunctioned.

A 22-year-old man died after suffering severe blunt force trauma and extensive internal bleeding in a derailment of the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad roller coaster that also injured ten other riders. The cause of the accident was determined to be improper maintenance.

An 18-year-old employee was crushed to death between a revolving wall and a stationary platform inside the America Sings attraction. She was in the wrong place during a ride intermission; it was unclear whether this was due to inadequate training or a misstep as the ride had been open for only two weeks by this time. The ride closed for two days, and was subsequently refitted with breakaway walls.

On April 22, 2003, A 36-year-old stage technician fell 60 feet from a catwalk in the Hyperion Theater, prompting an investigation by the California Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Cal/OSHA). The victim did not regain consciousness following the incident and died on May 18, 2003. In October 2003, Cal/OSHA fined the Disneyland Resort $18,350 for safety violations related to the technician's death.

A 17-year-old boy from Hawthorne, California, was killed while jumping between two moving PeopleMover cars as the ride was passing through a tunnel. He stumbled and fell onto the track, where an oncoming train of cars crushed him beneath its wheels and dragged his body a few hundred feet before it was stopped by a ride operator. The attraction had only been open for one month at the time.

An 18-year-old boy was crushed and killed by the PeopleMover while jumping between moving cars. The accident occurred as the ride entered the SuperSpeed tunnel.

Workplace Violence Prevention in California: Ensuring Safety for All

Workplace violence is an unfortunate reality that businesses and organizations must address to ensure the safety and well-being of their employees. In California, workplace violence prevention is not just a recommendation but a critical component of workplace safety regulations. The state has taken significant steps to implement comprehensive strategies to combat this issue, and understanding these measures is crucial for every employer and employee in the region.

Understanding Workplace Violence

Workplace violence encompasses a range of behaviors, from verbal threats and harassment to physical assaults. It can occur between employees, or involve clients, customers, or other external individuals. The impacts of workplace violence are far-reaching, affecting the victim's physical and mental health, workplace morale, and overall productivity.

California's Legislative Framework

California has been at the forefront of implementing stringent laws and regulations to curb workplace violence. The state's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Cal/OSHA) has specific guidelines to ensure that all workplaces have effective violence prevention programs. The Cal/OSHA Workplace Violence Prevention in Health Care standard, for instance, mandates health care facilities to adopt comprehensive plans to protect their workers.

Key Elements of Workplace Violence Prevention in California

Risk Assessment: Employers must conduct regular assessments to identify potential hazards that could lead to workplace violence. This involves evaluating the physical environment, employee roles, and previous incidents to pinpoint areas of concern.

Training and Education: A critical aspect of workplace violence prevention in California is ensuring that employees are well-informed about the risks and trained on how to respond. This includes recognizing early warning signs of potential violence and knowing the appropriate steps to take if an incident occurs.

Reporting Mechanisms: Establishing clear and accessible reporting mechanisms is essential. Employees should feel confident that they can report any concerns or incidents without fear of retaliation. Effective reporting systems are a cornerstone of workplace violence prevention in California.

Emergency Response Plans: In the event of an incident, having a well-defined emergency response plan can mitigate harm. This includes procedures for contacting law enforcement, providing medical assistance, and ensuring the safety of all employees.

Regular Review and Improvement: Workplace violence prevention in California is an ongoing process. Regularly reviewing and updating violence prevention plans based on new insights and changing circumstances is necessary to maintain a safe workplace environment.

The Role of Employers and Employees

Both employers and employees have roles to play in preventing workplace violence. Employers are responsible for creating and maintaining a safe work environment, conducting risk assessments, and providing necessary training. Employees, on the other hand, should stay vigilant, report any suspicious activities or threats, and participate in training programs.

Conclusion

Workplace violence prevention in California is a multifaceted approach that requires commitment and collaboration from all parties involved. By adhering to state regulations and implementing robust prevention strategies, organizations can create a safer, more secure environment for their employees. Ensuring the well-being of workers not only fosters a positive workplace culture but also enhances overall productivity and morale. As California continues to lead the way in workplace safety, other states and regions can look to its example to develop their own effective violence prevention measures.
