As one senior put it, he felt like he won the lottery and he was in tears.” According to Kandyse McCoy Cunningham, director of property management for Heartland Housing, 440 people applied for the housing during the initial two-day pre-application session to qual- ify potential residents at Center on Halsted in May. Leases were to be offered and signed through the end of October, but due to the popularity of the project, the spaces filled up within a 15-day period, and sooner than expected.

(August 2012) Evleen Michelle Nasir, B.A., Texas A&M University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Kirsten Pullen There is a discursive formation of incapability that surrounds senior women’s sexuality. Senior women are incapable of reproduction, mastering their bodies, or arousing sexual desire in themselves or others. The senior actresses’ I explore in the case studies below insert their performances of self and their everyday lives into the large and complicated discourse of sex, producing a counter-narrative to sexually inactive senior women. Their performances actively embody their sexuality outside the frame of a character. This thesis examines how senior actresses’ performances of sexuality extend a discourse of sexuality imposed on older woman by mass media. These women are the public face of senior women’s sexual agency.

The program was launched in 2002 with a goal of reaching thousands of girls of diverse backgrounds within the first three years.

The program aims to address the challenges girls face in their daily lives, in addition to helping girls build a strong sense of self, develop healthy relationships and take care of their bodies and minds. how does uniquely me! foster positive self-esteem? uniquely ME! consists of a curriculum that integrates the latest research from the Girl Scout Research Institute (GSRI) and learning by doing. Four activity booklets, available in English and bilingual English/Spanish, guide girls through simple, but meaningful exercises which lead them to understand and build their self-confidence. The booklets target three developmental levels: uniquely ME! The Way To Be/Nadie Como yo! Una manera de ser for 8 to 10 year-olds, uniquely ME! Inside & Out and uniquely ME!

    Joan Rivers Saturday, May 5

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NOVEMBER 15, 2011 RIVER ROCK CASINO RESORT PRESENTS JOAN RIVERS SATURDAY, MAY 5 Richmond, BC – The one and only Joan Rivers is a force of nature whose career skyrocketed in 1965 when after performing in comedy clubs for nearly a decade, she appeared on NBC’s The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. Within three years she was hosting That Show with Joan Rivers which was one of the first syndicated daytime shows on television before becoming the first sole guest host of The Tonight Show in 1983. Joan then hosted her own late night talk show, The Late Show Starring Joan Rivers which aired on FOX in 1986. Three years later, she returned to daytime television with The Joan Rivers Show … a syndicated talk show where she won an Emmy Award for “Outstanding Talk Show Host” in 1990. That same year, she launched her fashion jewelry line on QVC achieving unprecedented and continued success with record-breaking 300 million dollars plus in sales. Her line is also featured here in Canada on The Shopping Channel. In 2009, Donald Trump “hired” Joan as the winner on NBC’s The Celebrity Apprentice where she earned more than $500,000 for God’s Love We Deliver … a New York City-based organization that prepares and delivers meals to people living with illnesses. That same year, she was the guest of honour on the Comedy Central Roast of Joan Rivers. Earlier this year, she and her daughter, Melissa Rivers starred on their own reality television series, Joan & Melissa: Joan Knows Best which airs on the US cable channel, WE tv.
