  • Aun Año De Haber Asumido El Cargo Como
    04 Chihuahua.- un año de haber asumido el cargo como senador de Morena por Chihuahua, ENTREVISTA A Cruz Pérez Cuéllar hizo un balance de las acciones que, desde su trinchera, lo han colocado en el ojo público, como un legislador cercano, presente entre los ciudadanos. Cumplió su promesa de campaña: regresar al estado a trabajar, y no solo quedarse en Ciudad de México dentro del “glamour” de la política nacional. Empezó con el pie derecho el primero de los próximos cinco años que le restan en el Senado de la República. REVISTANET.MX “México se está transformando, y mi trabajo es representar a los chihuahuenses en esta nueva etapa”, aseguró Pérez Cuéllar después de presentar su Primer Informe de Actividades. “Cumplí con la promesa de regresar porque quiero ser un senador cercano a los chihuahuenses”, reiteró. Cercanía, la clave Pérez Cuéllar recorrió la entidad con la llamada #CruzadaXChihuahua, entre mayo, junio y julio de este año, un viaje de muchas horas por tierra en el que recogió las inquietudes de los ciudadanos, mismas que se tradujeron en CRUZ PÉREZ CUÉLLAR acciones de las que rindió cuentas, entre las que destacan la gestión social a través de las oficinas de enlace ubicadas en los principales municipios del estado. “Hemos instalado seis oficinas que están “Es tiempo a la orden en Chihuahua, Ciudad Juárez, Cuauhtémoc, Delicias, Parral y Nuevo Casas Grandes. Me decían que era muy arriesgado abrir seis oficinas por la cantidad de de apoyar solicitudes, no es fácil, tenemos muchas citas pendientes, apoyos pendientes pero entre asumir ese reto y cumplir con la palabra optamos por cumplir por nuestra palabra”.

  • Geeks for Consent Assessing the Safety of San Diego’S Comic Con International 2014 July 1, 2015
    GEEKS FOR CONSENT ASSESSING THE SAFETY OF SAN DIEGO’S COMIC CON INTERNATIONAL 2014 JULY 1, 2015 SUMMARY The following is a 20+ page report detailing the significant harassment issues in convention spaces, San Diego Comic Con’s (SDCC) inferior response to harassment, and a discussion of the legal and moral requirements for SDCC to do better. SDCC has a vague anti harassment policy with no clear mechanisms for reporting harassment or enforcing the policy. Leading up to SDCC 2014, GeeksForCONsent launched a petition and championed significant fan-based pressure on SDCC to improve their anti harassment efforts. The petition received over 3,0001 signatures. David Glanzer, SDCC’s PR representative, responded that harassment was not a significant problem and that common sense was enough, and that a thorough, prominent policy might lead to bad press. At San Diego Comic Con in 2014, multiple incidents of harassment were reported to GeeksForCONsent staff, including photographic and verbal harassment. Alicia Marie and Adrienne Curry, prominent cosplayers, experienced physical harassment. San Diego Comic Con has still not revised their anti harassment policy or released a statement, despite the significant national press they received for their failed anti- harassment efforts during the 2014 convention. A few weeks after SDCC 2014, New York Comic Con (NYCC) convened a panel and revamped their entire policy, creating thorough, detailed signs, explicit enforcement mechanisms and multiple ways to report harassment, including an app that will allow for immediate and thorough response by convention staff. And NYCC surpassed SDCC by over 20,000 attendees, proving that it is possible to implement in large spaces, and only results in positive press and feelings of safety and security for attendees.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Anthropology Theses by an authorized administrator of ScholarWorks @ Georgia State University. For more information, please contact [email protected]. EMBODYING COSPLAY: FANDOM COMMUNITIES IN THE USA by NATASHA LOREN HILL Under the Direction of Emanuela Guano ABSTRACT Cosplay is a portmanteau of costume and play, referring specifically to role-play. Cosplay consists of various costumed role-playing, such as anime, manga, video games, science-fiction, fantasy, horror, mythology, etc. In the 1990s, cosplay emerged as a popular street fashion subculture in Japan that has become a worldwide phenomenon. Cosplay was already present in North American popular culture in association with comic and science-fiction conventions. These events at the time were considered masquerades, not cosplay. Cosplay communities rely primarily on maintaining social relationships via internet communication and word of mouth. The standards for what constitutes cosplay are upheld by individuals, the community, and organizations. These organizations are made of security personnel, cosplay contest judges, local police, and convention staff. Through this ethnography on cosplayers, I will identify the hidden power structures, agency, and resistance or replication of hegemony in the community; by using a combination of interviews, participant observation, and auto-ethnography.

  • Orcacon-2019-Program-Web.Pdf
    WELCOME TO ORCACON 2019 Greetings, OrcaFriends! Wow, it’s already time for OrcaCon again; it seems like just last week we were here playing games and eating delicious food truck noms. We welcome back everyone who’s been with us from the beginning, and offer a joyous hello to all of you who are new to our wee convention. OrcaCon was founded by a group of friends with an idea of a modest friendly convention, focused on being a welcoming and safe space for folks of all ages to play games. We decided early on to focus on bringing diversity, inclusion, and accessibility to tabletop games, and highlighting many marginalized creators who feel left out of other tabletop spaces. For year four, we’re focusing on LGBTQIA+ creators, artists, designers, and more. Be sure to attend their panels and play their games during your weekend. We’re extremely excited to present an amazing guest list, and hope you’ll get a chance to play games with them or have a wee chat. They’ve submitted some great games and panels, so be sure to drop by and see that they’re doing. It’s great to support marginalized creators! We are extremely happy to be back here at the Bellevue Hilton. They’ve been so kind to allow us free parking and to bring in food trucks. They’ve been a delight to work with so be sure to say thanks when you interact with them! Speaking of new things for 2019, we’re also excited about some new Sponsors and groups.

Wesley Yin-Poole Deputy Editor @wyp100 Crysis developer Crytek has denied claims it is on the verge of bankruptcy. A recent report from German magazine GameStar claimed Crytek, which has its headquarters in Frankfurt, was in financial trouble and that the development of Xbox One exclusive Ryse: Son of Rome had been a "disaster". Our colleagues at Eurogamer Germany looked into the report, and gave me the following translation: "'The vultures are circling already,' so says a leading employee of one of the large publishers. Companies like this have already started making offers to the most talented people at Crytek, to hire them away. Such a brain drain can become dangerous for any studio, even a financially stable one. "A takeover of Crytek would be interesting for a company, that could use the development-experience of the Crytek and doesn't want to build up such experience itself. That is why the Belarus F2P-giant Wargaming is rumoured to be a potential buyer. "When you are reading this, there is hope that Crytek has managed to avoid disaster. A new source of money, said Avni Yerli [one of the managing directors], is in sight.

Executive Summary Proposed Class 19 is virtually identical to the video game console “jailbreaking” exemption that the Librarian denied in the last rulemaking proceeding. As in the last proceeding, “the evidentiary record fail[s] to support a finding that the inability to circumvent access controls on video game consoles has, or over the course of the next three years likely would have, a substantial adverse impact on the ability to make noninfringing uses.”2 Proponents offer no more than the same de minimis, hypothetical, 1 See http://www.theesa.com/about-esa/members/ (listing ESA’s members).
