University of Sunderland Delegation Visits Kings Cornerstone International College to Meet Future Transfer Students

Apr 27, 2024 | Business

The University of Sunderland, a long-standing partner of Kings Cornerstone International College, visited the campus on 22nd April 2024 to engage with students transferring to the Sunderland Campus, UK, in September 2024.

The delegation comprised senior staff members from the University of Sunderland, including John Murray, Academic Dean of the Faculty of Technology; James Scott, Head of the School of Law and Tourism; Dr. Mriganka Biswas, Lecturer in Computer Science; and Bhavna Bagga, Director of South Asia. They were warmly welcomed by John Christopher, Chairman of Kings Cornerstone International.

Established in 2016, the partnership between the University of Sunderland and Kings Cornerstone International has facilitated the transfer of numerous students from India under articulation agreements. The unique study abroad pathway programs offered by both institutions have been pivotal in this process.

Study abroad pathway programs have emerged as an innovative solution for students aiming to pursue their degrees from prestigious international universities while effectively managing their educational expenses. These programs blend local and international academic experiences, ensuring a seamless transition for students into the global education system.

By enrolling in a pathway program, students can significantly reduce tuition fees, accommodation costs, and living expenses during the initial years of their degree. This cost-effective model not only makes international education more accessible but also prepares students academically and culturally for studying in a foreign country.

Upon completing the first two years at Kings Cornerstone International College, students transfer as a cohesive class to the University of Sunderland to complete their final year abroad. This group transition facilitates adaptation, providing students with a supportive peer network.

One of the standout features of these pathway programs is that they also lead to degrees awarded by the top 100 QS-ranked universities. This ensures that students receive a high-quality education that is globally recognized and valued. Despite spending only the final year abroad, students are entitled to the same benefits as those who pursue their entire degree overseas, including access to post-study work visas, diverse cultures, global networks, internships, and employment opportunities.

The University of Sunderland and Kings Cornerstone International College remain committed to providing students with exceptional educational opportunities through their partnership, combining cost-effectiveness with the prestige of earning a degree from a renowned university.

Getting Tattooed with Gay History

Apr 27, 2024 | Business

Author Phillip Crawford Jr gets tattoos of vintage ads for alleged Mafia-controlled gay bars which he wrote about in his groundbreaking book “The Mafia and the Gays”

Fort Myers, Fla., USA – WEBWIRE –

For decades the Mafia controlled much of LGBT nightlife in many cities across the United States including New York and Chicago, and author Phillip Crawford Jr wrote about this relationship in his groundbreaking book The Mafia and the Gays which first was published in 2015 and then followed up with a second edition in 2022. To mark the historic ties between organized crime and the gay scene Crawford has gotten a sleeve inked on his right lower leg involving vintage ads for several alleged Mafia-controlled gay bars from the 1970s and 1980s, and written an essay to accompany the photographed tattoos.

The leg sleeve shows the same images which gay men decades earlier saw when flipping through the bar rags distributed throughout the gayborhoods. The ads are surviving ephemera which bring life to and evoke the identity of those gay bars from that era when the LGBT community lived on the edge of society and in partnership with the Mafia.

The tattoo is an apt medium by which to mark this history because tattooing once was a lifestyle adornment only among marginalized subcultures such as the gay scene and the hoodlum life. During the 1950s and 1960s before the liberation movement the homosexual rubbed elbows with the criminal in a shared underworld which rejected societal mores. The tattoo was their mark as members of a motley assembly of anti-heroes in post-war America. The tattoo scene was an alternative reality from the middle-class suburbs.

Phil Sparrow once was an English professor at DePaul University in Chicago, but in the early 1950s the gay prof fled the straight jacket of academic life to open a tattoo parlor on skid row. In 1953 Sparrows shop became known as a congregating place for homosexual activity among new enlistees from the Great Lakes Naval Training Station, and he was advised by a naval intelligence officer that the Navy was going to declare [his] shop off-limits.

Among the tattoos on Crawfords lower leg sleeve is one of Jamies which allegedly was owned during the early 1970s by the Outfit on Chicagos near north side. The young tough smoking a cigarette has a dollar sign on his belt buckle to tip off that Jamies was a hustler joint, and his cocky pose against the entrance door promises good trouble inside.

Also included is the infamous Mineshaft which operated in the meatpacking district on the west side in New York City from 1976 until closed by city officials in 1985 as the AIDS crisis was exploding. The ad illustrates an idealized macho man muscles, tank top and a mustache with a miners hat which puts the MINESHAFT name up in lights. The place allegedly was owned by the Gambino family but managed by a gay man who created the club concept. Freddie Mercury and Robert Mapplethorpe were among those who patronized the Mineshaft where primal desires became living dreams, and the scene there provided the inspiration for the 1980 film Cruising with Al Pacino.

This collage of tattooed ads expresses the zeitgeist of those bygone days, and is an homage to the gays and the mobsters who made it all happen.
