Witnesses called police to report a possible drug sale between customers at the La Salsa Fresh Mexican Grill around 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 22. Although the alleged exchange had already taken place, police say officers spotted and stopped the seller as he was getting into a pickup truck around the corner, according to police spokeswoman Katie Nelson. Officers say the 46-year-old man allegedly had a small plas- tic bag in his pants pocket containing dozens of oxycodone pills, and had over 100 other pills in his vehicle, Nelson said. Police say the suspect allegedly went to the restaurant to sell the illicit drugs to two other men who had already left when officers arrived, Nelson said.

    Audi MediaInfo Culture & Trends Communications Christian Günthner Phone: +49 841 89-48356 E-mail: [email protected] www.audi -mediacenter.com/en Audi A8 in disguise as surprise guest at the world premiere of ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ Audi figurehead car in Spider-Man camouflage on the red carpet in Los Angeles Leading actor Tom Holland as a VIP passenger Official presentation of the Audi A8 on July 11 at Audi Summit in Barcelona Los Angeles/Ingolstadt, June 29, 2017 – Wednesday night the new Audi A8* could be seen in Los Angeles alongside many Hollywood stars at the world premiere of ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming.’ Tom Holland, who stars as Peter Parker / Spider-Man, was chauffeured down the red carpet at the TCL Chinese Theatre. Meanwhile, Robert Downey Jr. and Jon Favreau arrived together in a black Audi R8 Spyder*. Normally, Audi’s Technical Development team conceals their secret prototypes with a special adhesive foil with a camouflaged pattern of black and white swirls. However, this time Audi Design developed a new camouflage foil with a Spider-Man design specifically for the appearance on the red carpet at the world premiere of ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’. The traditional swirl design has been modified to incorporate spider webs on the vehicle doors and within the signature rings. Even before its official world premiere, the first glimpses of the Audi A8’s can be seen on the big screen in ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ – viewers can see parts of the front and side designs in the film. In addition, moviegoers also get to see Audi AI Traffic Jam Pilot in action when Happy Hogan drives Peter Parker and momentarily removing his hands from the wheel.

  • Florida Southern College Assessing the Vanishing Lesbian in Book-To
    Florida Southern College Assessing the Vanishing Lesbian in Book-to-Film Adaptations: A Critical Study of Rebecca, Fried Green Tomatoes, and Black Panther Felicia Coursen Thesis Advisor: Dr. Moffitt May 2, 2021 Coursen 2 A Framework for Understanding the Vanishing Lesbian Popular media consistently disregards lesbian voices and identities. The film industry, as a facet of popular media, often neglects to tell lesbian stories. When films do include lesbian characters, the depictions are often problematic and grounded in stereotypes. Literary critic and queer theorist Terry Castle argues the following in her book, The Apparitional Lesbian: Female Homosexuality and Modern Culture: “The lesbian remains a kind of ‘ghost effect’ in the cinema world of modern life: elusive, vaporous, difficult to spot – even when she is there, in plain view, mortal and magnificent, at the center of the screen. Some may even deny she exists at all” (2). Castle explains the “ghost effect” of lesbian characters in cinema, which is better identified as the process of lesbian erasure. Although the two terms are synonymous, “lesbian erasure” provides a more clear-cut verbalization of this process (i.e., there once were lesbian characters, but they are now erased). Lesbian erasure is a direct result of the following: (1) the absence of lesbian characters, (2) the inclusion of only one-dimensional/stereotyped lesbian representation, and/or (3) the use of subversion and subtextualization to hide lesbian characters from audiences. Book-to-film adaptations reveal the ghost effect most clearly. Lesbians in book-to-film adaptations are not only apparitional; they vanish right before the viewers’ eyes.
