(April 2010) Elizabeth Michael Melton Department of English Department of Performance Studies Texas A&M University Research Advisor: Dr. Kirsten Pullen Department of Performance Studies Since its introduction to the world, Alice Walker’s The Color Purple has been recreated in other media. Audiences are just as likely to have learned about Celie’s journey from the 1985 Warner Bros.’ movie or the 2005 Tony Award-winning musical as from the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. Each iteration of The Color Purple offers ambivalent representations of Black female experience in the early 20th century era of the American South. My research thus far has placed me in the midst of other audience members enjoying the highs and lows of Celie’s on-stage story and behind a desk shuffling through Walker’s personal letters and manuscripts.

Habitat, Body, Story: Picturing the shifting nature of home Prologue Upon visiting the Grotto of the Nativity in Bethlehem, Annie Dillard touched a hole, painted with a fourteen-pointed star, in the cobblestone floor of a deep, dingy, poorly decorated cave. The hole marks the spot where Jesus was born. Supposedly, it used to be a stable with a manger, but the landscape has changed over time, now completely covered with monasteries “like barnacles.”1 Annie’s present day experience of Jesus’s birthplace is an odd collision. The story of Jesus in Christian religious texts, the actual body and life of Jesus, and the surrounding habitat or setting of his birth exist in different time frames. The landscape of the Earth’s surface and the structures we build on it continually recycle.

    THESIS WONDER WOMEN IN THE VIRTUAL WORLD: HOW FEMALE SHEPARD REDEFINED THE FEMALE HERO ARCHETYPE IN VIDEO GAMES Submitted by Chelsea McHenry Department of Communication Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Master of Arts Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Spring 2021 Master’s Committee: Advisor: David Scott Diffrient Nicholas Marx Rosa Mikeal Martey Copyright by Chelsea Rebecca McHenry 2021 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT WONDER WOMEN IN THE VIRTUAL WORLD: HOW FEMALE SHEPARD REDEFINED THE FEMALE HERO ARCHETYPE IN VIDEO GAMES AAA video game protagonists typically represent the white, heterosexual male. While standards are changing, there remains a considerable discrepancy between the number of male and female protagonists available. This study intends to examine how video game producers can move forward with creating resonant AAA protagonists by examining one of the first protagonists who presented unforeseen equality. This thesis explores the character of female Shepard from BioWare’s video game series Mass Effect (2007-2012) and what elements made her a fan favorite and marketable. Using Jim Bizzochi’s video game narrative framework and Shunsuke Nozawa’s concept of ensoulment related to voice work, this thesis argues that FemShep redefined the video game landscape. She served to create her own space as a character and not merely a gender-flipped construct of her male counterpart. By examining how she is constructed and handled in-game, the conclusion suggests that when the developmental focus is on creating the character, there is a market for strong heroes who are also female. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT …………………………………………………………………………….………...ii CHAPTER I – INTRODUCTION………………………….………….…………………………1 CHAPTER II – MOLDING THE HERO FROM CODE...………………………………………22 CHAPTER III – THE MOST PERFECT INSTRUMENT…...………………………………….54 CHAPTER IV – AN END OF A JOURNEY IS A BEGINNING OF ANOTHER ………...…...84 BIBLIOGRAPHY………………………………………………………………………………..94 iii CHAPTER I: INTRODUCTION – LEGACIES OF HEROES I will always remember June 9, 2014.

  • Data Breach Reports
    CONTENTS Information & Background on ITRC ........... 2 Methodology .............................................. 3 ITRC Breach Stats Report Summary .......... 4 ITRC Breach Stats Report ..........................5 ITRC Breach Report ................................ 42 Information and Background on ITRC Information management is critically important to all of us - as employees and consumers. For that reason, the Identity Theft Resource Center has been tracking security breaches since 2005, looking for patterns, new trends and any information that may better help us to educate consumers and businesses on the need for understanding the value of protecting personal identifying information. What is a breach? The ITRC defines a data breach as an incident in which an individual name plus a Social Security number, driver’s license number, medical record or financial record (credit/ debit cards included) is potentially put at risk because of exposure. This exposure can occur either electronically or in paper format. The ITRC will also capture breaches that do not, by the nature of the incident, trigger data breach notification laws. Generally, these breaches consist of the exposure of user names, emails and passwords without involving sensitive personal identifying information. These breach incidents will be included by name but without the total number of records exposed. There are currently two ITRC breach reports which are updated and posted on-line on a weekly basis. The ITRC Breach Report presents detailed information about data exposure events along with running totals for a specific year. Breaches are broken down into five categories, as follows: business, banking/credit/financial, educational, Government/Military and medical/healthcare. The ITRC Breach Stats Report provides a summary of this information by category.

    Innovation and Investment: Building Tomorrow’s Economy in the Bay Area Bay Area Economic Profile March 2012 Eighth in a Series Bay Area Council Economic Institute 201 California Street, Suite 1450, San Francisco, CA 94111 (415) 981-7117 Fax (415) 981-6408 www.bayareaeconomy.org [email protected] Innovation and Investment: Building Tomorrow’s Economy in the Bay Area Bay Area Economic Profile March 2012 Eighth in a Series Innovation and Investment: Building Tomorrow’s Economy in the Bay Area Introduction This report, the eighth in a series of biennial Bay Area Economic Profile reports produced by the Bay Area Council Economic Institute in partnership with McKinsey & Company, examines the evolution of the Bay Area’s econ- omy in the wake of the Great Recession that severely impacted the region from 2008 to 2010 and continues to be felt by many of our citizens and busi- nesses. As previous profile reports have done, it benchmarks the Bay Area’s economic performance against other knowledge-based economies in the United States and around the world, to assess the region’s national and global competitiveness. It also analyzes the economic and policy challenges that continue to confront the region and that must be addressed if the Bay Area wishes to maintain its current position of economic leadership. This year’s Bay Area Economic Profile report finds, as it has so often in the past, that the region has experienced a substantial economic recovery and remarkable economic growth based on its ability to innovate across a range of leading sectors. This strength in innovation continues to position it fa- vorably as both a partner and a competitor with leading economic regions throughout the world.

  • Beethoven FESTIVAL, BERNADETTE PETERS, and BOYZ II MEN
    RENEW BY APRIL 27 to get first access to the BEETHOVEN FESTIVAL, BERNADETTE PETERS, and BOYZ II MEN “Music Director Alain Trudel was on the podium, and the AUDIENCE WAS ON THEIR FEET.” The Blade Dear friends, Our work continues in the 2020-2021 season as we strive to inspire our region to come together though the performing arts. As a symphony orchestra, we aim to create musical moments that leap from time and remain forever in our memories. We aim for moments that move us all to think differently, to laugh, to love, to maybe even cry. We aim for moments that make us lean forward in our seats, hold our breath, and hold hands with the ones we love. These are the magical stories that our musicians and performers work to create. These are the moments that bring people together. It is with this in mind that we title this brochure “live art.” It has intentional dual meaning. As an adjective, we produce live art. Our musicians, dancers, and performers are the art, and it is created right before your eyes by people. It is created in the moment and can never be produced again in the same way. Because of this, live art seizes us—you, the audience—to feel, sense, and hear new things because it’s elusive and passes us by. It reminds us be present. As a verb, we live art. We experience it, and it changes us. Art can pour through us—through our fingers, our breath, and our bodies as we take it in.
