Friday, February 23 at 6 PM - 9 PM
University of Massachusetts Boston, 100 William T Morrissey Blvd
the Asian American Studies Program has a campus exhibition in the Harbor Gallery (McCormack Building, 1st floor across from starbucks counter) until the end of februrary. the gallery is open regularly on mondays through thursdays from 1:00-6:00pm. we will host a culminating event on friday evening, february 23rd to give alumni and community friends an opportunity to see the exhibit and catch up with each other and current students/faculty.
we had an opening reception on feb 8th (see: https://www.flickr.com/
the purpose and intention of the gallery exhibition are as follows:
***
During the past 30+ years of continuous Asian American Studiesteaching/learning at UMass Boston, our faculty/students/staff/
In this new exhibit, we offer three overarching themes that are typically lit, though not often in neon.
1. Capacity-building with both students and communities to be stronger, healthier, and more resourceful over time through long-term commitments that invest holistically and ecologically beyond academic-only visions of student development or community service/activism.
2. Educational transformation with the intentions of not only creating new opportunities and visions for students through their UMB classroom experiences, but also modeling changes in the structure and culture of teaching/learning for preK-12, higher education, and community education.
3. AANAPISI knowledge and resource production to go beyond criticizing stereotypic frameworks and lack of data by generating our own contributions – including original community research and documentation, digital stories, literary anthologies, photo essays, food challenges, names guides, leadership portraits, children’s books, shadow puppet dramas, art installations, and more that represent the unique profiles, needs, and assets of AsAmSt students and their under-resourced, under-researched family/community contexts.
Threaded within and across the exhibited artifacts are many carefully crafted connections: intersectional dimensions of identity; 20+-year commitments with disaggregated, ethnic-specific communities across the lifespan from Vietnamese immigrant 2nd graders at the Mather School to Chinese immigrant elders and ancestors at Mt. Hope; multidisciplinary approaches with faculty, students, and alumni from health and social sciences to humanities and creative arts to policy- and practice-based fields; and real life real stories shared from past and present for the future.

LePage州長與商務廳長Gervais對賴處長一行來訪熱烈歡迎，除對本處多年來用心經營緬因州與臺灣雙邊關係表達謝意外，並表示緬因州農漁業發達，龍蝦產量全美第一，著名波士頓龍蝦其實多來自緬因州，渠有機會將予正名，另藍莓及楓糖品質極佳，盼能擇期促銷緬因州之龍蝦與藍莓等農產品，以及促進雙邊高等教育之交流。賴處長表示樂於協助，並盼緬因州與臺灣能在既有雙邊教育備忘錄下，更進一步加強合作關係。此外，賴處長亦請緬因州研議與臺灣簽署駕照互換協議，倘能促成此協議，當能增加廠商與留學生赴緬因州投資與留學之誘因，進一步增加雙邊交流與實質關係。

(Boston Orange周菊子麻州報導) 萬達影視傳媒和上海騁亞影視合作的”唐人街探案2”，將於大年初一(2月16日)在全美48個地區上映，麻州有波士頓廣場19號(Boston Common 19)，以及瑞維爾櫥窗20號(Showcase Revere 20)兩家戲院放映。
這是陳思誠自編自導的第二部”唐人街探案"，主場景從唐探一的泰國曼谷轉來美國紐約，劇情關鍵是主角唐仁為巨額獎金，以自己將與阿香結婚為由，把搭檔秦風騙到紐約，參加唐人街教父七叔為找出殺害孫子兇手而舉辦的世界名偵探大賽。影片同樣有三名主角，但在王寶強，劉昊然之外，佟麗婭換成了蕭央。其他演員包括劉承羽，尚語賢，王迅等仁，歸類為懸疑、動作、喜劇，冒險系列。
這部片是好萊塢八大影業之一的華納影業首次參與中國電影的海外發行。在麻州的波士頓廣場19號這家戲院，還將已IMAX
2D制式放映。

這部片的風格中西夾雜，既揉進了中國傳統的五行風水，密教鎮靈符咒等元素，也採用了西方慣見的電腦科技特效，劇組使用搶租才拿到的美國頂級品牌Panavision數字攝影機，拍出不少很有特色的場景鏡頭，不過片中的中國式人物塑造，尤其是王寶強的唐仁角色，有點聒噪，劇情是想營造懸疑氣氛，但情節推展並不能讓觀眾感到緊張。純粹以娛樂效果而言，倒的確是適合春節檔期，讓全家人感到熱鬧，笑一笑的電影。
“唐人街探案2"這部影片將在北美，澳洲，新西蘭，英國，德國，奧地利，義大利，西班牙，北歐同步上映。香港，新加坡，馬來西亞等地，則是安排在春節後陸續上映。

BILLERICA MAN SENTENCED TO 40 YEARS IN PRISON FOR SEXUAL EXPLOITATION OF TWO YOUNG BOYS
BILLERICA MAN SENTENCED TO 40 YEARS IN PRISON
FOR SEXUAL EXPLOITATION OF TWO YOUNG BOYS
BOSTON – A Billerica man was sentenced today in federal court in Boston for sexually exploiting two young boys over a five-and-a-half year period.
Philip Toronto, 43, was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge F. Dennis Saylor IV to 40 years in prison and five years of supervised release. In November 2017, Toronto pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual exploitation of children.
On Feb. 28, 2017, a search warrant was executed at Toronto’s home in response to multiple CyberTips that tracked the trade of child pornography over Skype to Toronto’s Billerica address. During the search, law enforcement recovered evidence of child pornography. Law enforcement confronted Toronto with evidence that some of the child pornography appeared to be homemade. Toronto admitted to filming his sexual abuse of two young boys: a five-year-old boy as recently as September 2016; and a now 15-year-old boy between 2011 and 2014.
More extensive forensic review of the devices seized from Toronto’s home revealed surreptitious recordings of the children in various stages of undress as well as videos and images of Toronto raping and indecently assaulting each of the boys.
United States Attorney Andrew E. Lelling; Raymond Moss, Acting Inspector in Charge of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service; and Colonel Kerry A. Gilpin, Superintendent of the Massachusetts State Police, made the announcement today. This case was investigated in conjunction with the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office, which indicted Toronto for the rape and assault of both boys. Assistant U.S. Attorney Anne Paruti, Lelling’s Project Safe Childhood Coordinator and a member of his Major Crimes Unit, prosecuted the case.
The case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood. In 2006, the Department of Justice created Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative designed to protect children from exploitation and abuse. Led by U.S. Attorneys’ Offices and DOJ’s Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Project Safe Childhood marshals federal, state, and local resources to locate, apprehend, and prosecute individuals who exploit children, as well as identify and rescue victims.

BOSTONHIRES LAUNCHES, PROMOTING GOOD JOBS FOR BOSTON RESIDENTS

New hiring campaign to place 20,000 residents in good jobs by 2022
|
BOSTON - Thursday, February 15, 2018 - BostonHires, a City-led effort to promote quality jobs for Boston residents announced by Mayor Martin J. Walsh in his Inaugural address on January 1, 2018, officially launched today under the direction of the Mayor's Office of Workforce Development (OWD). The campaign aims to place 20,000 unemployed or underemployed residents in good jobs - defined as jobs paying at least the living wage, with half of these offering employer-sponsored benefits - by 2022.
"BostonHires is about lifting up each and every one of our residents. The City of Boston has both a trained and ready workforce and an exceptional community of business leaders in need of that talent," said Mayor Walsh. "I invite our city's companies, small businesses, and community-based organizations to join BostonHires to ensure that all our residents have access to good jobs that keep our economy thriving."
Employers and job placement providers (such as job training programs and career centers) can join BostonHires by signing up to become either a BostonHires Champion or a BostonHires Advocate:
Any organization that employs Boston residents or places them in jobs is welcome to join BostonHires at owd.boston.gov/bostonhires. The website includes additional information about the campaign.
Boston's living wage, currently $14.41 per hour, is re-calculated each year to account for the City's changing cost of living.
Twice per year, BostonHires Champions and Advocates will report their numbers of residents placed that count toward the citywide goal. In return, BostonHires Champions and Advocates will be able to display the BostonHires seal on their websites and storefronts to signal their participation to the community.
"BostonHires gives us a concrete objective to work toward in collaboration with our partners," said Trinh Nguyen, director of OWD. "Working together in our various capacities as employers, job trainers, and workforce development professionals, we are pushing ourselves to create a more prosperous and equitable Boston for all."
"At Goodwill and Boston Career Link, the one-stop career center we operate, our mantra is jobs, jobs, jobs," said Joanne Hilferty, President and CEO of Morgan Memorial Goodwill Industries. "Every day, we help Boston residents achieve the independence and dignity that come from good jobs. We connect employers in need of workers with qualified jobseekers and are excited to partner with the City of Boston to advance the BostonHires Campaign."
While encouraging good hiring practices through BostonHires, the City of Boston is also doing its part through a new initiative called City Academy. City Academy is a training pipeline for Boston residents to access entry-level City positions that offer good wages, health benefits, pensions, and opportunities for advancement. For more information, please visit owd.boston.gov/cityacademy.
The program is currently recruiting candidates for two tracks:
1) Hoisting and Commercial Driver's License (CDL) training for jobs with the Boston Water & Sewer Commission, the Department of Public Works, the Parks Department, and Boston Housing Authority.
2) Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) training for jobs with Boston Emergency Medical Services.
The OWD is an affiliate of the Boston Planning & Development Agency.
About the Mayor's Office of Workforce Development
The Mayor's Office of Workforce Development (OWD) is an innovative agency within the Boston Planning & Development Agency that seeks to ensure the full participation of all Boston residents in the city's economic vitality and future. The OWD funds and oversees programs that promote workforce development through education, jobs training, apprenticeships, financial coaching, career pathways, literacy initiatives, and the like.
