They were immediately like, ‘no, we can’t have you living here, it’s bad for the neighborhood, it’s bad for the other tenants.” Webb was eventually able to settle in a supportive housing building operated by The Fortune Society in Manhattan. There, he earned his master’s degree, something he said he wouldn’t have been able to do without a solid living situation. “I couldn’t have done that commuting from a shelter,” he said. “I wouldn’t have been able to use wi-fi to be able to continue my classes. Having a place to lay your head at night is crucial.” Ultimately, supporters of the campaign say that formerly incarcerated people have already been punished for the crimes they were convicted of. Once they’ve been released, it’s unjust to continue the punishment. “The deal is supposed to be you do the crime and you do the time and you’re done,” Webb said. “Doing background checks and eliminating people just because of that, with no regard to who they are, what they are, what they’ve done to be where they are at this point — you’re making the punishment forever.” Piping Plovers nest along the Rockaway Peninsula.

    Re-mixing Old Character Tropes on Screen: Kerry Washington, Viola Davis, and the New Femininity By Melina Kristine Dabney A thesis submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Colorado in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Film Studies 2017 This thesis entitled: Re-mixing Old Character Tropes on Screen: Kerry Washington, Viola Davis, and the new Femininity written by Melina Kristine Dabney has been approved for the Department of Film Studies ________________________________________________ (Melinda Barlow, Ph.D., Committee Chair) ________________________________________________ (Suranjan Ganguly, Ph.D., Committee Member) ________________________________________________ (Reiland Rabaka, Ph.D., Committee Member) Date: The final copy of this thesis has been examined by the signatories, and we Find that both the content and the form meet acceptable presentation standards Of scholarly work in the above mentioned discipline. Dabney, Melina Kristine (BA/MA Film Studies) Re-mixing Old Character Tropes on Screen: Kerry Washington, Viola Davis, and the New Femininity Thesis directed by Professor Melinda Barlow While there is a substantial amount of scholarship on the depiction of African American women in film and television, this thesis exposes the new formations of African American femininity on screen. African American women have consistently resisted, challenged, submitted to, and remixed racial myths and sexual stereotypes existing in American cinema and television programming. Mainstream film and television practices significantly contribute to the reinforcement of old stereotypes in contemporary black women characters. However, based on the efforts of African American producers like Shonda Rhimes, who has attempted to insert more realistic renderings of African American women in her recent television shows, black women’s representation is undergoing yet another shift in contemporary media.

Steven Tyler United States - 19 May 2011 Many contestants who audition for American Idol tell moving and emotional stories. Perhaps the most touching of them was told by Chris Medina who performed Breakeven by The Scripts at the auditions in Chicago. He told the judges of his fiancée Juliana Ramos who had suffered a brain injury after a car accident that left her in a wheelchair – able to move only her left arm and little more. After Chris sang, he brought his fian- cée to the audition room at the judges’ request. While Randy Jackson and Jennifer Lopez intro- duced themselves, Steven Tyler shook her hand saying: “Hi, girl. I just heard your fiancée sing, and he’s so good.” He added in a warm, tender whisper: “That’s why he sings so good, because he sings to you.” The New York Times called the moment “a stellar embrace” and praised Tyler as “deeply practiced and deeply humane” and an “unalloyed genius”.

    Crafting a sustainable future • for globalisation at Davos • Growth risks in 2017: China, oil, debt • Disruptive technology trends Feb – March 2017 MCI (P) 148/08/2016 Dealing with a Trump world Donald Trump’s salvos against globalism raises questions about whether America will remain a beacon of hope, for Asia and beyond. Will the wall he is erecting leave the US vulnerable? Letter from the Editor-in-Chief Gain an insider’s view on Asia with us Dear readers, It has only been weeks since United States President Donald Trump took office, but his slew of executive orders has stirred much controversy and sparked considerable anxiety around the world. These include America’s withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal, controversial appointments, as well as clashes with other political and world leaders. The implications of these recent events are likely to be with us well into 2017, and beyond. Straits Times US Bureau chief Nirmal Ghosh takes a look at what the new Trump presidency means for all of us and where things might be heading, while our associate editor Ravi Velloor ponders the implications for Asia should the US decide to go head-to-head with China, on trade or security issues. Mr Trump was the focus of attention at this year’s World Economic Forum meet in Davos too, where delegates debated what his “America First!” views portend for the world and the future of globalisation. I attended the sessions and sum up the discussions on pages 10 & 11. These issues are a key focus for all of us in The Straits Times.
