    NEBRASKA : THE COR NHUSKER STATE 43 larger cities and counties continue to grow. Between 2000 and 2010, the population of Douglas County—home of Omaha—increased 11.5 percent, while neighboring Sarpy County grew 29.6 percent. Nebraska’s population is becoming more racially and ethnically diverse. The most significant growth has occurred in the Latino population, which is now the state’s largest minority group. From 2000 to 2010, the state’s Latino population increased from 5.5 percent to 9.2 percent, growing at a rate of slightly more than 77 percent. The black population also grew from 3.9 percent to 4.4 percent during that time. While Nebraska’s median age increased from 35.3 in 2000, to 36.2 in 2010 — the number of Nebraskans age 65 and older decreased slightly during the same time period, from 13.6 percent in 2000, to 13.5 percent in 2010. RECREATION AND PLACES OF INTEREST31 National Areas32 Nebraska has two national forest areas with hand-planted trees: the Bessey Ranger District of the Nebraska National Forest in Blaine and Thomas counties, and the Samuel R. McKelvie National Forest in Cherry County. The Pine Ridge Ranger District of the Nebraska National Forest in Dawes and Sioux counties contains native ponderosa pine trees. The U.S. Forest Service also administers the Oglala National Grassland in northwest Nebraska. Within it is Toadstool Geologic Park, a moonscape of eroded badlands containing fossil trackways that are 30 million years old. The Hudson-Meng Bison Bonebed, an archaeological site containing the remains of more than 600 pre- historic bison, also is located within the grassland.

  • Virtual Día De Los Muertos Nov. 1
    It's Wednesday, October 28. In today's issue: Día de los Muertos; women, voting, and drinking; re-imagining historic posters; historic site seasonal hours; expedition archeology; 1920s Wayne hospital radio station; swabbing the decks of the USS Missouri. Virtual Día de los Muertos Nov. 1 2 Experience the excitement and discover the meaning of El Día de los Muertos, (the Day of the Dead), virtually. The 2020 Day of the Dead will be celebrated in Lincoln with ofrendas (traditional memorial displays) at the Nebraska History Museum and Bennett Martin Public Library. We're asking you to participate in this year's ofrenda by providing a story of a passed loved one you wish to remember. Keep reading. Don’t let women vote if you want to keep drinking! 3 If you let women vote, will they take away your beer? There was a time when many Nebraska men feared their wives and daughters would do just that. Traditional-minded men feared that politically active women would drive them to drink—and then prevent them from drinking. Nebraska’s brewers, distillers, and saloon owners financially supported anti-suffrage efforts in order to stop Prohibition in Nebraska. Keep reading. History Nebraska and Nebraska Arts Council invite artists to re-imagine historic posters Nebraska has a long history of circulating posters encouraging social action, particularly during years of intense change. Recognizing that 2020 is also a year of change, History Nebraska, in partnership with the Nebraska Arts Council, invited ten Nebraska artists to continue this tradition. Using historic posters from History Nebraska’s collection as inspiration, artists created their own posters to address today’s themes, including (but not limited to) COVID-19, economic hardship, equality, racial injustice, and voter 4 participation.

  • Macross TV Series Disc 4 Liner Notes (PDF)
    MACROSS DISC 4, EPISODES 13 – 16 Episode 13 - "Blue Wind" (November 2009) According to Kawamori Shoji, the main Studio Nue and Artland staffers didn't work on this episode, although it did introduce the infamous "Lolicon 3." This episode was one of those that Studio Nue and Artland farmed out to Tatsunoko Production studios-- who in turn farmed it out to its offshoot Anime Friend, who farmed it out yet again to Star Pro. If you notice that a certain episode is not quite up to par, chances are good that you'll find Star Pro in the credits .... The “Lolicon 3” is the nickname for the three Zentraedi spies. See the People section of the liner notes for more info on the unusual nickname. Episode 14 - "Gloval Report" (November 2009) Along with Episode 17 "Phantasm," this episode was created to boost the episode count after the series was extended from 23 episodes to 36. During production, these episodes were actually numbered "13.5" and "15.5" respectively. This numbering gave the final episode a production number of 34, instead of the broadcast number of 36. Episode 15 - "China Town" (November 2009) Notice the painted radio call sign and the extra passenger in one of the Valkyries escorting Captain Global's plane. Minmay's manager is supposed to be modeled after Mikimoto Haruhiko. If Minmay is telling the truth, the city of Yokohama opened the New Marine Tower, the world's tallest, in 1993. So far, no one has spotted a 900-meter-tall tower here .... (The real-world Marine Tower in Yokohama was built only 106 meters tall in 1961.) While New Marine Tower may be a figment of the creator's optimistic imagination, the Harbor View Hill Park (Minato-no-Mieru-Oka-Kooen) that Hikaru and Minmay visit is a tourist attraction that actually exists.

    SUMMER 2019 Today is the day to stop saying “someday.” Felicia Webb, Graduate Social Gerontology, BGS & Master’s University of Nebraska at Omaha My today started when I realized dreams don’t have a time limit. At 48 years old, I decided to go back to school. As soon as I reached out to the University of Nebraska at Omaha they grabbed my hand. The professors were all willing to help. Before, I thought my education was something I couldn’t attain. I was busy trying to make a living; I wasn’t smart enough. But one day I felt smart enough to try and never looked back. With my online program I felt like I was in classroom with other classmates, but from within the four walls of my home. I did my schoolwork everywhere: airports, traveling, at home. Wherever I was, I was walking into a classroom and never felt alone. The impact of the people I’ve never met face to face is just as strong as if I’d stood there and shook their hands. 125+ online programs. online.nebraska.edu SUMMER 2019 IN EVERY ISSUE 4 From the Chancellor 10 5 Letters to the Editor 6 From the Editor 7 Alumni Association 22 10 Philanthropy Matters 14 The Colleges 20 Athletics 26 52 Class Notes 55 Future Alums 56 Sights & Sounds 58 For Fun 30 FEATURES 22 Getting Serious About Comics 38 26 Walking Works of Art 30 Art House 38 Witness 42 Art of Preservation 46 46 Artists at Work SUMMERVOL. 10, NO. 2 www.unoalumni.org/unomag UNO MAGAZINE is a publication of the University of Nebraska at Omaha, the UNO Alumni Association and the University of Nebraska Foundation.

  • The Dissemination and Localization of Anime in China: Case Study on the Chinese Mobile Video Game Onmyoji
    The dissemination and localization of anime in China: Case study on the Chinese mobile video game Onmyoji Wuqian Qian The Department of Asian, Middle Eastern and Turkish Studies Master Program in Asian Studies, 120 hp Autumn term 2016 Supervisor: Jaqueline Berndt English title: Professor Abstract In the 2017 Chinese Gaming Industry Report, a new type of video games called 二次 元 game is noted as a growing force in the game industry. Onmyoji is one of those games produced by Netease and highly popular with over 200 million registered players in China alone. 二次元 games are characterized by Japanese-language dubbing and anime style in character design. However, Onmyoji uses also Japanese folklore, which raises two questions: one is why Netease chose to make such a 二次元 game, the other why a Chinese game using Japanese folklore is so popular among Chinese players. The attractiveness of an exotic culture may help to explain the latter, but it does not work for the first. Thus, this thesis implements a media studies perspective in order to substantiate its hypothesis that it is the dissemination of anime in China that has made Onmyoji possible and successful. Unlike critics who regard anime as an imported product from Japan which is different from domestic Chinese animation and impairs its development, this study pays attention to the interrelation between media platforms and viewer (or user) demographics, and it explores the positive influence of Japanese anime on the Chinese creative industry, implying the feasibility of anime or 二次元 products to be created in other countries than Japan.

  • Talking Like a Shōnen Hero: Masculinity in Post-Bubble Era
    Talking like a Shōnen Hero: Masculinity in Post-Bubble Era Japan through the Lens of Boku and Ore Hannah E. Dahlberg-Dodd The Ohio State University Abstract Comics (manga) and their animated counterparts (anime) are ubiquitous in Japanese popular culture, but rarely is the language used within them the subject of linguistic inquiry. This study aims to address part of this gap by analyzing nearly 40 years’ worth of shōnen anime, which is targeted predominately at adolescent boys. In the early- and mid-20th century, male protagonists saw a shift in first-person pronoun usage. Pre-war, protagonists used boku, but beginning with the post-war Economic Miracle, shōnen protagonists used ore, a change that reflected a shift in hegemonic masculinity to the salaryman model. This study illustrates that a similar change can be seen in the late-20th century. With the economic downturn, salaryman masculinity began to be questioned, though did not completely lose its hegemonic status. This is reflected in shōnen works as a reintroduction of boku as a first- person pronoun option for protagonists beginning in the late 90s. Key words sociolinguistics, media studies, masculinity, yakuwarigo October 2018 Buckeye East Asian Linguistics © The Author 31 1. Introduction Comics (manga) and their animated counterparts (anime) have had an immense impact on Japanese popular culture. As it appears on television, anime, in addition to frequently airing television shows, can also be utilized to sell anything as mundane as convenient store goods to electronics, and characters rendered in an anime-inspired style have been used to sell school uniforms (Toku 2007:19).
