Range Trains Police Cadets for Every Scenario Calendar of Events inside back ABOUT THE COVER: The Macomb County Building is a Michigan Historical Marker. The design elements which grace the Macomb County Building’s facade include six granite figures perched atop the structure. When the designs for the figures were drawn, a military motif was favored because of the nearby presence of Selfridge Field. For that reason, the visages of a soldier, sailor, marine and airman were incorporated in the design. In a nod to the county’s history, the figures of a Revolutionary War soldier and a Native American were added as well. The front and back of the building feature the Revolutionary War soldier and Native American faces. The sailor and marine face Cass Avenue, while the soldier and airman gaze toward Selfridge Air National Guard Base. Macomb: Everywhere you need us to be Macomb Community College is the result of a belief in the value and power of education to transform lives and energize communities.

They think about the county’s outsized contribution to the region’s role as the Arsenal of Democracy during World War II. And they think about the automotive industry. What’s changed? Nothing… and everything. Macomb County is still a powerhouse in the defense, advanced manufacturing and automotive sectors. However, technology has not only integrally reframed how most jobs are done, and heightened the level of education and training needed to do them, but it has also created a convergence of fields within sectors. For example, information technology and cybersecurity is not only an industry in itself. It is also a vital aspect of the modern automotive industry, where next- generation mobility through connected and autonomous vehicles is fueling transformational growth. In addition, the county’s traditional bedrock industries are driving the growth of support sectors. Macomb County is home to a robust transportation logistics and warehousing industry that supports an advanced manufacturing industry that is a leader not only in the automotive sector, but also in the aerospace, robotics, and tool and die industries. Professional services, encompassing professional, scientific and technical services, provide specialized skills to the county’s businesses as well as direct to the consumer. The Macomb County Department of Planning and Economic Development tracks industry and job growth. A look at high-growth categories from their analysis shows expected double-digit increases in job development between 2016–2020 in occupational areas related to engineering, information technology, architecture, construction, math and science. What does job growth since 2010 look like by industry sectors in Macomb County? • Advanced manufacturing: 46 percent growth through 2016, anticipated to be just under 50 percent by 2020 • Agriculture: 58.5 percent to 2016, expected to reach 60 percent by 2020 • Automotive: Three percent increase to 2016, expected to be near 10 percent by 2020 • Defense: Up 78 percent to 2016, with growth projected to hit nearly 110 percent by 2020 • Health Care and Social Assistance: 9.87 percent growth through 2016, growing to nearly 20 percent by 2020 • IT and Cybersecurity: 106 percent growth from 2010–16 • Logistics: 47 percent increase between 2010–16, continuing to near 50 percent by 2020 • Professional Services: 58.5 percent growth to 2016, reaching nearly 200 percent by 2020 22 Finishing Your Degree is Closer Than You Think Macomb University Center Did you know you can complete your bachelor’s, master’s or doctoral degree right here at Macomb Community College?

It is an honour for me to welcome, on behalf of this Health Assembly, our first invited speaker, the Eighth Secretary-General of the United Nations, Mr Ban Ki-moon. I think he needs no introduction but it is my duty to introduce him. From his earliest days in office, the Secretary-General has identified global health as one of his top priorities. He has been working to strengthen the United Nations system and he has reached out to foundations, research centres, civil society and the private sector to help build partnerships to advance the cause of global public health. The Secretary-General has been a consistent voice for the health needs of the poorest and the most vulnerable – especially at a time of economic crisis. He has been a leading advocate for women’s health. In the face of the outbreak of influenza A (H1N1) 2009, he has been a strong voice of support for WHO’s leadership and coordination efforts. His presence here is another demonstration of his commitment to the cause that brings us together – the advancement of global public health for all.

  • 2011 Fargo Film Festival Program
    1 AROUND THE WORLD IN 11 YEARS... COMING FULL CIRCLE... Dear Fargo Film Festival Audiences, On March 1, 2001 an intrepid band of film lovers held our collective breaths as we waited for the press to show up for the opening press conference of our very first Fargo Film Festival. The press arrived as did award winning filmmakers Rob Nilson and John Hanson to celebrate the screening of their North Dakota-produced and Cannes Film Festival award winner, Northern Lights. On opening night, March 1, 2011, the Fargo Film Festival again celebrates North Dakota culture, history, and film making with The Lutefisk Wars and Roll Out, Cowboy. Over the years, our festival journey has circled the globe from Fargo to Leningradsky to Rwanda to Antarctica, all without leaving the cushy seats of our very own hometown Fargo Theatre. Some of you have been my traveling companions from the very Margie Bailly Emily Beck FARGO THEATRE FARGO THEATRE beginning of this 11 year cinematic tour.

  • Redefining Gender in Disney Films from the 20Th to 21St Century Shrien Alshabasy SUNY New Paltz Honors Thesis 2018-2019
    Alshabasy 1 "A Whole New World": Redefining Gender in Disney Films from the 20th to 21st Century Shrien Alshabasy SUNY New Paltz Honors Thesis 2018-2019 Alshabasy 2 The Disney Dynasty is as familiar to American culture as apple pie. Sitting on land that is twice the size of Manhattan, the Disney Kingdom has expanded over the years to create a whole new world; a world seriously considered by cultural theorists like Baudrillard, as a simulacrum, a symbol so close to reality that it becomes hyperreality. Before water parks and resort hotels, before Disney bought out the land of orange groves and walnut trees in Anaheim, California, the Magic Kingdom began its conquest on American ideology. The Walt Disney Company started in 1923 as “The Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio,” and churned out films that embodied American ideals. Oftentimes, these films were set in 19th century rural America and featured an American hero -- usually Mickey Mouse, who could outwork and challenge any enemy big or small with his bravery. An embodiment of American ideals, Disney films became loved and endeared by audiences during morally depleting times, like the Depression years (“How Disney Came to Define What Constitutes the American Experience”). Audiences latched onto these ideals, seemingly stable, even when external factors were not. In 1938, Disney shifted gears into feature films with his vision of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Although many had their doubts, after three years of work Snow White was released and it quickly became the highest grossing film of all time. Feature films became the money makers for Disney and the start of consumer fascination with Disney culture (“Disney Animation Is Closing the Book on Fairy Tales”).
