12/31/2023 0 Comments Kim chi drag queen black and whiteWhile this can be incredibly entertaining, RuPaul’s Drag Race is not living up to the full capacity it could to help people of color in the LGBTQ+ community. The show has the opportunity to give an in depth look at the drag culture and race, similarly to how Paris is Burning showed the balls in the 80’s, but instead the show keeps the focus tied to the petty drama that occurs between the contestants. Kim Chi was the first Korean-American contestant on the show as well as the first Korean-American drag queen on American national television. While the show and contestants had an opportunity to discuss potential ways to combat racism within the LGBTQ+ community, the conversation quickly ends when the two drag queens agree that they have both experienced specific micro aggressions. Sang-Young Shin (Korean: born August 8, 1987), known professionally as Kim Chi, is a Korean-American drag queen, artist, entrepreneur, and television personality best known for competing on the eighth season of RuPauls Drag Race. Later in the episode, two of the Black contestants, Naomi Smalls and Bob the Drag Queen, discuss the racism they have experienced as Black, gay men. In addition, Derrick Barry suggests that she should play a character that involves being “a black woman trapped in a white woman’s body.” She proceeds to then speak in a poorly executed African American Vernacular English accent, which results in several shocked looks from Black contestants. Kim Chi decides to dress up as “Kimmy Jong-Un,” the drag version of Kim Jong-Un, and she uses several phrases and hand gestures that stereotype North Korean people as being violent, uncaring individuals. The “snatch game” is in no way racist by itself, but some drag queens rely on racism for their humor. Later, Derrick threw “shade” at Bob by saying “Hey Bob, if I want to do ratchet drag next week can you give me any tips?” There are several instances of blatant racism in this episode especially because the queens are participating in the “snatch game” competition where they dress up as celebrities or characters to play a game show set up by RuPaul. Derrick insulted Bob for talking too much, and when Bob responded pointing out the hypocrisy in what Derrick said, Derrick left the table. The fifth episode starts off almost immediately with an argument between Derrick Barry and Bob the Drag Queen. There are 12 drag queens who start out the season 8 competition- 5 White men, 4 Black men, 2 Hispanic men, and 1 Asian man- creating a racially diverse cast, including the first drag queen from South Korea, Kim Chi. Drag queens are often shown as a “token” characters who represent the majority of the LGBTQ+ community, so by having twelve drag queens competing, there is a more diverse representation of gay men. To start with the positives, Drag Race showcases almost exclusively gay men who bend ideals of gender by performing as drag queens.

I originally chose to look at RuPaul’s Drag Race because it’s my favorite reality TV show, but upon a closer look, the show highlights several different intersections between race, gender, and sexuality in both positive and negative ways.

The game is constantly ongoing and it saves every few moments and when this happens it'll usually slow down or pause for a second or two. Or sometimes, especially if you're playing two player split-screen co-op (yes it has that too) it'll sometimes pause for a second or two while it saves your game. Nothing happens to your data, though, it's just an inconvenience is all. It'll freeze sometimes and just reset itself. The game is not without it's problems though. For example, if you want to make a chainsaw you'll need a schematic and you'll have an easier time finding one in a hardware store than you will just finding one randomly laying on the floor in the middle of nowhere. One thing to note is that some weapons require a schematic before you can create it and you usually just find them by chance, although you'll increase your chances if you choose to loot the right stores that relate to the item you want to make. You can also make your own clothing, make your own home, or create an underground home if you'd like. Need shelter? Then you'll have to find a place in your travels (there are plenty of places if you know where to look) or you can build your own. Need water? Then you'll have to find a water source and then find a way to boil the water to kill whatever impurities it may have. Need food? Then you'll have to hunt for it, or grow your own (yes you can farm in this game too), then figure out a way to cook your food. You can make many things in this game and you'll need to if you want your character to survive. I also mentioned that it's a creation based game and I'll go a little bit into detail about that. You can turn off the zombies in this game and just worry about survival but it adds an extra element of difficulty because the zombies in this game can be a bit hard to kill, at least when your first start out. You can die of starvation, food poisoning, freezing to death, dehydration (or even die from drinking from a bad water source), being mauled to death by a bear, or even being killed by zombies. When I say a survival game I mean it, too. Like I said above, this game is a survival based game that also has creation tied into it. I'll try and use a good amount of detail to let you know whether this game is a good choice for you or not. I've owned the game for several months now so I have a firm grasp on the game and the things you'll experience while playing. If you're not into survival or creation based games then you'll hate this game. If you're into games like MineCraft then you're going to love this game. 12/31/2023 0 Comments 1961 firebirdIt is a beauty with its Jet Age styling interior and exterior, built in a time when cars were cars.

Also, the steering wheel did not center when going straight. Good acceleration and easy steering it pulled to the left when braking but seemed to get better as we drove on. A real cruiser, the radio works great, and I can be sure I'm not running late due to the interior clock still ticking after taking an 18-year licking. This car started right up, took a bit to warm up, but once it did all I can say is there are not enough oooh's in smoooooooth for this ride.

Tan padded vinyl makes up the curved dash which is above the swooping ribbed aluminum. Interesting that this model has the power window toggles located in the doors and not the center console.

Justice Christopher found that the parties’ acknowledgment was valid. Both acknowledgments use the past tense regarding the signing of the document. Dobi, 90 NY2d 127 (1997).Ĭontrary to the husband’s argument, Justice Christopher found that the language in the instant acknowledgment conformed substantially with the Uniform Form Certificate of Acknowledgment provided in Real Property Law §309-a. In pertinent part, the section reads “such acknowledgment can be made only by the person who executed the conveyance, and such proof can be made only by some other person, who was a witness of its execution, and at the same time subscribed his name to the conveyance as a witness.” Real Property Law §292 does not state that the notary must say in the acknowledgment that he witnessed the signature, Justice Christopher citing Matisoff v. However, as Justice Christopher noted, Real Property Law §292,titled “By whom conveyance must be acknowledged or proved,” differentiates between conveyances that are acknowledged and conveyances that are proved by use of a subscribing witness. In fact, the wife stated in her opposing affidavit that both parties were present before the notary at their local bank branch when they signed and the husband did not refute her claim in his reply. The husband’s argument went on: the notary used the past tense to state that the party “acknowledged that he has signed… the …Premarital Agreement.” He argued and that because of the use of the past tense “has signed” in the acknowledgment, the requirements of Real Property Law §292, that the notary witness the agreement’s execution and certify this fact in writing, had not been satisfied.Īlthough not determinative, the husband did not allege that either party failed to be present before the notary. He argued that Real Property Law §292 requires that the notary witness the signature and say so in the written certificate. In B.W., the husband sought to invalidate his prenuptial agreement by challenging the acknowledgment. in the year… before me, the undersigned, personally appeared…., personally known to me or proved to me on the basis of satisfactory evidence to the be the individual(s) whose name(s) is (are) subscribed to the within instrument and acknowledged to me that he/she/they executed the same in his/her/their capacity(ies), and that by his/her/their signature(s) on the instrument, the individual(s), or the person upon behalf of which the individual(s) acted, executed the instrument. An acknowledgment, “must conform substantially with the form” set forth therein. The proper wording is found in Real Property Law §309-a. Given under my hand and notarial seal this 14th day of October, 2004. I,_, a Notary Public in and for said County, in the State aforesaid, do hereby certify that, personally known to me to be one of the persons whose names are subscribed to the foregoing Premarital Agreement, appeared before me this day in person and acknowledged that he has signed, sealed and delivered the foregoing Premarital Agreement as his free and voluntary act, for the uses and purposes therein set forth. In the case before her, the acknowledgment recited: R.F., Westchester County Supreme Court Justice Linda Christopher upheld a prenuptial agreement in which the notary’s “acknowledgment” used the wrong wording. What does “acknowledged or proven in the manner required to entitle a deed to be recorded” mean. New York’s Domestic Relations Law §236B(3) states “n agreement by the parties, made before or during the marriage, shall be valid and enforceable in a matrimonial action if such agreement is in writing, subscribed by the parties, and acknowledged or proven in the manner required to entitle a deed to be recorded.” Marital and divorce agreements have to be “notarized.” But does the notary have to be present and witness the actual signing? 12/31/2023 0 Comments Atlanta subway mapJob centers, residential centers, and major tourist destinations are focus areas. Demand:ĭemand considers both existing and potential riders in areas that are currently underserved by rail transit. Three general concepts guided the proposals: 1) Demand, 2) Growth, and 3) Equity. MARTA 2040? The logic behind these ideas is explained below. This proposed system map would create a rail network that accommodates current and new residents in a comprehensive and logical way, leveraging the strength of the existing lines with new connections both within the city and beyond. By 2040, the city is projected to have 1.2 million, in a metro area of 8.2 million, moving the city’s share up to 14 percent. But not only is it a necessary goal, given Atlanta’s growth trends, with the right planning and proposals, transit expansion in Atlanta can begin to correct decades of inequity that continue to plague the city.Ĭurrently, the city of Atlanta has roughly 500,000 people, with the metro area closing in on 6 million the city is just over 8 percent of the total “Atlanta” population. When MARTA CEO Jeffrey Parker announced his $100 billion “moonshot for transit” this past January, it likely struck many as wishful thinking. And continued redevelopment of growing job and residential centers with loyal transit ridership, such as Lakewood, Greenbriar, and South Dekalb, present opportunities for new transit connections in the near term that will only become more costly, and more necessary, the longer they are not implemented. Similarly, integrating rail transit as a central component of the redeveloped Tilford Yard (Bolton) should be a priority, not an afterthought. Much of this proposed infrastructure is at a time-sensitive juncture: a rail connection to southeast Atlanta has an extremely rare opportunity to be seamlessly incorporated into the ongoing redevelopment of the Georgia State Stadium area. In the context of Atlanta’s inner core and outer suburb structure, MARTA’s heavy rail system is particularly well suited to accommodate trips of five to 25 miles, and this scale forms the focus of these proposals. “This proposed system map would create a rail network that accommodates current and new residents in a comprehensive and logical way.” Atlanta residents inherently understand this, due to our traffic, and the issues with transit that shares vehicle lanes, and overwhelmingly requested the city “expand rail transit” as the primary objective in Atlanta’s Transportation Plan. Others are significant new routes that will provide crucial connections to major growth areas-many long underserved-and will be necessary to accommodate the anticipated doubling of the city’s population over the next 25 years, with significant growth throughout the surrounding suburbs as well.Īlthough rail expansion is contentious for its high cost, there is simply no substitute for the efficiency and capacity that fully separated rail offers. Some are long-proposed expansions, both to the heavy rail network and new light rail lines. This proposal presents the kind of critical, equitable and transformative transit investments that MARTA should make to continue thriving over the next 20 years. Like Beltline Rail Now! advocates, Stephens stresses the importance of rail transit to the growing region’s mobility and success in this detailed Letter to the Editor and transit proposal, which includes a compelling visual. That input will help inform a 30-year transportation plan that ARC leaders must deliver to federal government officials by a February deadline, outlining which local projects might deserve grants from the feds. The metro’s 10-county planning agency, Atlanta Regional Commission, is accepting public comments via email until the close of business today (December 13). When it comes to transit, given metro Atlanta’s anticipated population explosion, Stephens says the time to act is now.
