Lieber November 2013 Advisor: Sheila Schroeder ©Copyright by Matthew R. Lieber 2013 All Rights Reserved Author: Matthew R. Lieber Title: House of Cards Advisor: Sheila Schroeder Degree Date: November 2013 Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to approach adapting a comic book into a film in a unique way. With so many comic-to-film adaptations following the trends of action movies, my goal was to adapt the popular comic book, Batman, into a screenplay that is not an action film. The screenplay, House of Cards, follows the original character of Miranda Greene as she attempts to understand insanity in Gotham’s most famous criminal, the Joker. The research for this project includes a detailed look at the comic book’s publication history, as well as previous film adaptations of Batman, and Batman in other relevant media.

  • Bronx Bodega Partners Workgroup Don't Stress, Eat Fresh Marketing Campaign 1 the Don't Stress, Eat Fresh Bronx Bodegas Marke
    Bronx Bodega Partners Workgroup Don’t Stress, Eat Fresh Marketing Campaign The Don’t Stress, Eat Fresh Bronx bodegas marketing campaign, created by the Bronx Bodega Partners Workgroup (BBW), was officially launched November 15, 2017 to encourage Bronx residents to purchase healthier foods and beverages at bodegas in the Bronx. With Bronx bodegas selling healthier options -- fresh fruits and vegetables, healthy sandwiches, low-fat dairy products, water and low sodium products -- thousands of Bronx residents now have greater access to healthy foods in their neighborhood bodegas, an important means of improving their health. Begun in 2016, the workgroup includes: the Institute for Family Health's Bronx Health REACH Coalition, Montefiore's Office of Community & Population Health, BronxWorks, Bronx Community Health Network, the Bodega Association of the United States, the Hispanic Information and Telecommunications Network, Inc., the American Dairy Association North East, WellCare Health Plans Inc, Urban Health Plan, City Harvest, the NYC Department of Health – Bronx Neighborhood Health Action Center, and BronxCare Health System. The Bronx Bodega Partners Workgroup together works with 53 stores. The marketing campaign was created by MESH Design and Development, a small design firm selected by the workgroup. The campaign design was informed by community focus groups that included youth from the Mary Mitchell Family and Youth Center and from the South Bronx Overall Economic Development Corporation both youths and adults. Participants provided ideas for content, color, and images. The campaign ran from October 2018 through January 2019 with signage in English and Spanish. The bodegas received posters, shelf signs and door clings. Posters were also distributed to neighboring businesses located near the bodegas.

From the journals of Amadeus Arkham. We experience a long CROSS-FADE: INT. ARKHAM HOUSE - CORRIDOR A young BOY, Amadeus ARKHAM, walks through a large corridor carrying a tray of tea and food. He’s dwarfed by his shadow. ARKHAM (V.O.) In the years following my Father’s death, I think it’s true to say that the house became my whole world. He walks up the stairs. 2. ARKHAM (V.O.) During the long period of mother’s illness, the house often seemed so vast, so confidently real, that by comparison, I felt little more than a ghost, haunting its corridors scarcely aware that anything could exist beyond those melancholy walls.

    Bronx Arterial Needs Major Investment Study Executive Summary March 2004 New York State Department of Transportation URBITRAN Submitted by Urbitran Associates, Inc. In association with Parsons Brinckerhoff Quade and Douglas Howard / Stein-Hudson Associates, Inc. Eng-Wong, Taub and Associates Herbert S. Levinson EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ES.1.0 INTRODUCTION The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) initiated the Bronx Arterial Needs Major Investment Study (BAN MIS) to identify and develop transportation solutions from a multi-modal travel perspective. The focus of the BAN MIS was on the arterial system in the Bronx and, in particular, the Cross Bronx Expressway (CBE, I-95) and Major Deegan Expressway (MDE, I-87). Improvement alternatives were developed to address concerns with traffic operations and safety, transit services, goods movement, and bicycle and pedestrian mobility in these congested highway corridors. Special consideration was given to the Highbridge Interchange, which provides a connection between the CBE and MDE and the George Washington Bridge (GWB). The purpose of the BAN MIS was to assess current and future travel conditions and problems and to develop projects, programs and strategies to improve the movement of people and goods on the CBE and MDE corridors. Figure ES-1 shows a map of the study area, which includes the CBE from the GWB to the Throgs Neck and Bronx-Whitestone bridges and the MDE from the Triborough Bridge to the Bronx/Westchester county border. The Final Report does not provide any formal recommendations or preferred alternatives. The strategy is to look at the existing program of projects and to find ones that could integrate some of the improvement alternatives from this study.
