  • Chinatown and Urban Redevelopment: a Spatial Narrative of Race, Identity, and Urban Politics 1950 – 2000
    CHINATOWN AND URBAN REDEVELOPMENT: A SPATIAL NARRATIVE OF RACE, IDENTITY, AND URBAN POLITICS 1950 – 2000 BY CHUO LI DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Landscape Architecture in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2011 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor D. Fairchild Ruggles, Chair Professor Dianne Harris Associate Professor Martin Manalansan Associate Professor Faranak Miraftab Abstract The dissertation explores the intricate relations between landscape, race/ethnicity, and urban economy and politics in American Chinatowns. It focuses on the landscape changes and spatial struggles in the Chinatowns under the forces of urban redevelopment after WWII. As the world has entered into a global era in the second half of the twentieth century, the conditions of Chinatown have significantly changed due to the explosion of information and the blurring of racial and cultural boundaries. One major change has been the new agenda of urban land planning which increasingly prioritizes the rationality of capital accumulation. The different stages of urban redevelopment have in common the deliberate efforts to manipulate the land uses and spatial representations of Chinatown as part of the socio-cultural strategies of urban development. A central thread linking the dissertation’s chapters is the attempt to examine the contingent and often contradictory production and reproduction of socio-spatial forms in Chinatowns when the world is increasingly structured around the dynamics of economic and technological changes with the new forms of global and local activities. Late capitalism has dramatically altered city forms such that a new understanding of the role of ethnicity and race in the making of urban space is required.

  • KUZPO's VIDEO GAME WISHLIST Latest Update: September 4, 2018
    KUZPO'S VIDEO GAME WISHLIST Latest update: September 4, 2018 Too much is never enough. Here are some guidelines to the wishlist before you start browsing: – The condition classifications of NES and SNES cartridges don't matter, as long as the cartridges work properly and are in decent condition (clean, scratchless, with the labels still intact on all sides). Starting with PS1, I demand all the games are at least classified B (Boxed). – I am ALWAYS interested in tips on game/peripheral retailers previously unknown to me. At the moment, GameStop is the only local, public retailer of video games (and their selection is limited to the last two or three console generations), and online shopping is still a bit foreign to me after all these years and all this experience, so I certainly don't know of all my options. – If you want to do your part in shortening this list, READ the limitations and preferences CAREFULLY. Here's something that will never happen: ”You bought me PROBOTECTOR? I wanted CONTRA, you stupid mommylover!” In reality, I am more than satisfied with what I can get. But, IF – in regards to the example I just mentioned – you can get the preferred choice with small effort and about the same price, I can guarantee I would be way beyond pleased. (For those who don't know what I'm talking about, let me explain that Probotector and Contra are one and the same in terms of gameplay – I just consider Contra the ”real” version of the game, it's visually cooler than its European counterpart and it fits into my already existing collection better.) – NO CONSOLE THAT I OWN IS A PRIORITY OVER ANOTHER.

  • 1492 Reconsidered: Religious and Social Change in Fifteenth Century Ávila
    1492 RECONSIDERED: RELIGIOUS AND SOCIAL CHANGE IN FIFTEENTH CENTURY ÁVILA by Carolyn Salomons A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland May 2014 © 2014 Carolyn Salomons All Rights Reserved Abstract This dissertation is an assessment of the impact of the expulsion of the Jews from Spain in 1492 on the city of Ávila, in northwestern Castile. The expulsion was the culmination of a series of policies set forth by Isabel I of Castile and Ferdinand II of Aragon regarding Jewish-Christian relations. The monarchs invoked these policies in order to bolster the faith and religious praxis of Catholics in the kingdoms, especially those Catholics newly converted from Judaism. My work shows how the implementation of these strategies began to fracture the heretofore relatively convivial relations between the confessional groups residing in Ávila. A key component of the Crown’s policies was the creation of a Jewish quarter in the city, where previously, Jews had lived wherever they chose. This transformation of a previously shared civic place to one demarcated clearly by religious affiliation, i.e. the creation of both Jewish and Christian space, had a visceral impact on how Christians related to their former neighbors, and hostilities between the two communities increased in the closing decades of the fifteenth century. Yet at the same time, Jewish appeals to the Crown for assistance in the face of harassment and persecution were almost always answered positively, with the Crown intervening several times on behalf of their Jewish subjects. This seemingly incongruous attitude reveals a key component in the relationship between the Crown and Jews: the “royal alliance.” My work also details how invoking that alliance came at the expense of the horizontal alliances between Abulense Jews and Christians, and only fostered antagonism between the confessional groups.

  • The Genso Suikoden Tabletop Roleplaying Game Rule Book: Revision 5.2
    The Genso Suikoden Tabletop Roleplaying Game Rule Book: Revision 5.2 Matthew Bloise Not for reprint, sale, or commercial distribution. For private use only. Not an official product of Suikoden, Konami or any of the copyright holders. This is simply a fan work used under fair use guidelines. Curious? Visit http://www.thegrumpypaladin.com/gstrpg.html for the latest revisions, updates, notes, and whatever else I’ve rambled off about. Revision Notes Revision 5.2(2018): - Kept picking at things, editing and adding more notes here and there. 115 pages is a weird number for a book, especially when you want to go to get it bound. Plus I should really be saying more things and not necessarily always focus on mechanics. - Added a Lore and Mythos section, and a The Lands of Suikoden section. - Garamond is a copyrighted font. Well, removed Garamond! That's why the main text might look different. Revision 5.1(2018): - Did you know it’s actually “Silverberg”? Fifteen years, nobody said anything. - Other little changes. - Added a Special Thanks part. - We InDesign now. Revision 5 (2018): - I CHANGED EVERYTHING LAWL. No seriously I think it’s mostly everything. - Most good designers would change one or two things and playtest again, but not this designer. This game was in basically an unplayable state and fell apart over time. So I ironed it all out. All of it. No problems at all now. - Like, for some silly reason, I had no system in place for the headquarters, one of the most defining features of a Suikoden game.

  • Opuscolo Festival 2004
    40° FESTIVAL PONTINO DI MUSICA 2004 Rosetta Acerbi insieme a Goffredo Petrassi ROSETTA ACERBI Nasce a Venezia. Dopo una breve fase di impiego di un linguaggio astratto-informale, l’artista attiva una personale ricerca figurativa di sottile indagine psicologica, che passa attraverso l’evocazione onirica di miti e archetipi, e l’approfondimento del simbolismo legato all’evocazione dell’acqua e del mare, nonché di suggestioni orientalistiche in direzione mistica. La sua attività espositiva inizia nel 1955, tenendo mostre personali e partecipando a rassegne collettive e premi in Italia, Gran Bretagna, Germania, Francia, Spagna, Australia, Stati Uniti, Croazia, Egitto e Giappone, presentata in catalogo da autorevoli critici italiani e stranieri. Nel 1986 ha un’ampia antologica a L’Aquila, presso il Museo Nazionale d’Abruzzo, e nel 1991 nel Palazzo della Cultura di Latina. Nel 1986 e nel 2000 partecipa alla Triennale d’Arte Sacra di Celano, e nel 1991 alla V Biennale d’Arte Sacra di Venezia. Nel 1999 è presente alla XIII Quadriennale d’Arte di Roma, e nel 2000 alla mostra “Immagini di Impegno - Impegno di immagine” a Roma. Nel 2001 la mostra “Presenze”, promossa dal Comune di Roma; nel 2002 “Paesaggi onirici”, nel Palazzo Comunale di Sabaudia. Nel 2004 è invitata con una personale in Giappone, al Museo Vangi, in collaborazione con l’Istituto Italiano di Cultura di Tokyo.

  • National Recognition of Our Armed Forces
    Report of Inquiry into National Recognition of our Armed Forces Report to the Prime Minister by: Quentin Davies MP Bill Clark OBE Ministry of Defence Air Commodore Martin Sharp OBE MA RAF Report of Inquiry into National Recognition of our Armed Forces Report to the Prime Minister by: Quentin Davies MP Bill Clark OBE Ministry of Defence Air Commodore Martin Sharp OBE MA RAF May 2008 Foreword Rt Hon Gordon Brown MP One of the greatest privileges I’ve enjoyed since becoming Prime Minister has been to spend time with the extraordinarily skilled and dedicated men and women of our Armed Forces, and to visit them on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan. Their courage, their service and their professionalism make an immeasurable contribution both to building peace and stability around the world and to protecting our nation here at home. The Government is acutely aware of the debt we owe our Armed Forces, and our gratitude for the work they do in the service of our country is reflected in our recent initiatives on pay, on tax-free bonuses, on housing and on health care, as well as in our decision to commission a Command Paper on conditions of service and quality of life, which we will be publishing this summer. But beyond these individual initiatives, important though they are, it is vital for our serving men and women, especially those engaged in difficult and dangerous overseas campaigns, to know that the whole of Britain understands and appreciates the work that they do in our name. I believe the British public are fully behind the men and women of our Armed Forces, and people want to do more to pay tribute to them.
