  • Strategic Policy Statement 2014 Melinda Katz
    THE OFFICE OF THE QUEENS BOROUGH PRESIDENT Strategic Policy Statement 2014 Melinda Katz Queens Borough President The Borough of Queens is home to more than 2.3 million residents, representing more than 120 countries and speaking more than 135 languages1. The seamless knit that ties these distinct cultures and transforms them into shared communities is what defines the character of Queens. The Borough’s diverse population continues to steadily grow. Foreign-born residents now represent 48% of the Borough’s population2. Traditional immigrant gateways like Sunnyside, Woodside, Jackson Heights, Elmhurst, Corona, and Flushing are now communities with the highest foreign-born population in the entire city3. Immigrant and Intercultural Services The immigrant population remains largely underserved. This is primarily due to linguistic and cultural barriers. Residents with limited English proficiency now represent 28% of the Borough4, indicating a need for a wide range of social service support and language access to City services. All services should be available in multiple languages, and outreach should be improved so that culturally sensitive programming can be made available. The Borough President is actively working with the Queens General Assembly, a working group organized by the Office of the Queens Borough President, to address many of these issues. Cultural Queens is amidst a cultural transformation. The Borough is home to some of the most iconic buildings and structures in the world, including the globally recognized Unisphere and New York State Pavilion. Areas like Astoria and Long Island City are establishing themselves as major cultural hubs. In early 2014, the New York City Council designated the area surrounding Kaufman Astoria Studios as the city’s first arts district through a City Council Proclamation The areas unique mix of adaptively reused residential, commercial, and manufacturing buildings serve as a catalyst for growth in culture and the arts.

  • Heirport Eero Saarinen's Twa Terminal Has a New Neighbor That Embodies

Before jetBlue, no one had attempted a white-tablecloth restaurant at JFK since the reviewed by greg lindsay raymond loewy–designed coffee shop in saarin- en’s terminal. But as airport “dwell times” have soared since 9/11, sit-down meals have become Heirport viable again. rockwell’s personal contributions are a chan- delier of flat-screens floating above a grandstand eero saarinen’s TWA terminal has where idling departing passengers will be able to watch the eternal stream of new arrivals. rockwell went all the way back to william whyte’s pioneer- a new neighbor that embodies the ing studies of human traffic in public spaces to create the layout and placement of his grandstand, realities of 21st-century air travel. which doubles as a traffic funnel. once past the marketplace, the terminal is more prosaic—artfully, purposefully so. “everything is done with an eye toward usefulness,” hooper told me, like the special slurry of scuff-camouflaging terrazzo in the halls, or the virtually indestructible blue carpeting that just might outlast the terminal. the only razzle-dazzle is provided by workstations at each gate from which passengers will be able to order food for delivery—an eye-opening innovation with the potential to be a customer-service disaster at peak hours. But the most crucial feature of all, at least from the airline’s perspective, is one that will likely go unnoticed by most passengers. small closets stocked with cleaning supplies have been placed at each gate; the faster jetBlue can wipe down its JetBlue’s new JFK terminal planes, the faster it can reload and get them back in tries not to overshadow the air, saving money lost to delays and increasing the Eero Saarinen landmark out front.

He served on a panel discussion, “Election Politics and More,” presented by the New Jersey Institute for Continuing Legal Education last fall. Barack Obama hates it. So does Donald Trump. The rise of ‘fake news’ has drawn widespread condemnation, though the meaning of the label itself is now a matter of political dispute. Obama has criticized fake news based on its original definition—patently false disinformation masquerading as journalism. A few weeks after the November election, he lamented the impact of "active misinformation" that is "packaged" to deceive, so it "looks the same when you see it on a Facebook page" as a legitimate article. A false item claiming the Pope endorsed Trump, for example, was one of the top election ‘stories’ on Facebook, according to a Buzzfeed analysis. That means millions of Americans wrongly thought they were reading and sharing something that happened (it didn't) from a news source (it wasn't).

  • Portnyc Developing the City's Freight and Passenger Infrastructure To
    New York Harbor is the third-largest port in the United States and the largest port complex on the Atlantic Coast. New York City Economic Development Corporation’s PortNYC develops the City’s freight and passenger transportation infrastructure to strengthen the region’s economic growth. PortNYC facilities include marine cargo terminals, rail facilities, cruise terminals, ferry landings, active maritime piers, vessel berthing opportunities, and aviation facilities within New York City’s five boroughs. Marine Cargo Terminals New York City’s ports are America’s gateway to the largest and wealthiest consumer market in the United States. PortNYC supports the local economy by enabling firms to bring goods to market by vessel, one of the most efficient modes of freight transportation. Approximately 400,000 containers move through New York City’s seaports annually, and recent infrastructure upgrades to the city’s marine cargo terminals will allow more than a million tons of cargo to arrive by water instead of truck. The City promotes and incentivizes the maritime industry by maintaining and leasing these facilities and designating them Significant Maritime and Industrial Areas. CARGO FACILITIES • Global Container Terminal—New York (containers, break-bulk, and ro-ro), Staten Island • Red Hook Container Terminal (containers, break-bulk, and ro-ro), Brooklyn • South Brooklyn Marine Terminal (break-bulk, ro-ro, and project cargoes), Brooklyn Global Container Terminal on Staten Island is • 25th Street Freight Pier (aggregate), Brooklyn the city’s largest deep-sea marine facility.

  • Pieces of a Woman
    PIECES OF A WOMAN Directed by Kornél Mundruczó Starring Vanessa Kirby, Shia LaBeouf, Molly Parker, Sarah Snook, Iliza Shlesinger, Benny Safdie, Jimmie Falls, Ellen Burstyn **WORLD PREMIERE – In Competition – Venice Film Festival 2020** **OFFICIAL SELECTION – Gala Presentations – Toronto International Film Festival 2020** Press Contacts: US: Julie Chappell | [email protected] International: Claudia Tomassini | [email protected] Sales Contact: Linda Jin | [email protected] 1 SHORT SYNOPSIS When an unfathomable tragedy befalls a young mother (Vanessa Kirby), she begins a year-long odyssey of mourning that touches her husband (Shia LaBeouf), her mother (Ellen Burstyn), and her midwife (Molly Parker). Director Kornél Mundruczó (White God, winner of the Prix Un Certain Regard Award, 2014) and partner/screenwriter Kata Wéber craft a deeply personal meditation and ultimately transcendent story of a woman learning to live alongside her loss. SYNOPSIS Martha and Sean Carson (Vanessa Kirby, Shia LaBeouf) are a Boston couple on the verge of parenthood whose lives change irrevocably during a home birth at the hands of a flustered midwife (Molly Parker), who faces charges of criminal negligence. Thus begins a year-long odyssey for Martha, who must navigate her grief while working through fractious relationships with her husband and her domineering mother (Ellen Burstyn), along with the publicly vilified midwife whom she must face in court. From director Kornél Mundruczó (White God, winner of the Prix Un Certain Regard Award, 2014), with artistic support from executive producer Martin Scorsese, and written by Kata Wéber, Mundruczó’s partner, comes a deeply personal, searing domestic aria in exquisite shades of grey and an ultimately transcendent story of a woman learning to live alongside her loss.
