From costumes and trick-or-treating to parties and donating leftover candy, there are many ways to practice a sustainable Halloween and still have fun each fall. Promote zero waste for the planet and save money with these tips! Pumpkins Before Halloween Buy local and don’t overshop​: According to the United States Department of Agriculture, ​Illinois​ ​harvests about 3-5 times as many pumpkin acres as . any of the other top states​ ​Support local farmers and connect your family with​ t​ he pumpkin growing process. By visiting a local pumpkin patch, children can see for themselves how pumpkins grow and may even get to feed animals and participate in farm activities. Even better - grow your own! Start planning now for sowing the seeds of next year’s pumpkins this spring. Take into account that there are suggested varieties​ for carving and eating. After Halloween Plan ahead for your pumpkin’s afterlife:​ ​Don't doom your pumpkin to eternity in a landfill​! When pumpkins and other organic materials decompose in a landfill, they generate ​methane​, a greenhouse gas 84 times more potent than carbon dioxide. Landfills are the third largest producer of methane in the U.S. where an ​estimated 1.91 billion pounds of pumpkins are grown annually​. Keep your pumpkin in the cycle of life - eat it, or compost it! Eat your pumpkin​: Give your pumpkin a second life is to turn it into a key ingredient of a delicious ​meal, dessert, or hot beverage​ to enjoy on a crisp fall night. Pumpkins ​are high in fiber and beta carotene​, add flavor, and are a great source of Vitamin A and C. You can also scoop out the ​pumpkin seeds and roast them for a healthy snack. Compost your pumpkin​: If your pumpkin is already a jack-o-lantern, or you aren’t interested in eating it, the best thing to do is to compost it. Composting is the natural process of recycling organic matter. Adding compost to soils not only reduces greenhouse gas emissions, it returns nutrients to soils, reduces the need for synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, and helps prevent soil erosion. ● Join or host one of ​SCARCE’s Pumpkin Smash​ events across Illinois. Take a look at their guide on ​How To Host a Pumpkin Collection ● Compost​ your pumpkin in your own backyard. Take a look at this​ DIY Project​ by SCARCE. Costumes Don’t buy new Use what you own​: Raid your closet and house to find clothing or items that could be used to create a unique costume. Find easy DIY costume ideas on ​Pinterest​ or websites with guides such as ​Perfection Pending​ or ​Real Simple​. Costume swap​: Gather your friends to swap costumes, clothing, and props to create your look this Halloween. Or consider renting a costume. Thrift an outfit​: Look for second-hand clothes at a thrift store, which will often have Halloween sections in the month of October. Shop sustainably If buying new, keep these tips in mind: ● Avoid or minimize plastic and non-recyclable props.

JOSH: It was written by Aaron Sorkin, it was directed by Tommy Schlamme, and it originally aired on May 17th, in the year 2000. HRISHI: Here’s a synopsis.. JOSH: A hrynopsis? HRISHI: [laughs] Sure.. JOSH: I just wanted to make sure because, you know, it’s an important distinction. HRISHI: An American fighter jet goes down in Iraq, and a rescue mission ensues to find the pilot. But, it’s a covert operation, so CJ has to mislead the press. Toby’s brother is onboard the space shuttle Columbia, but it’s having mechanical difficulties and can’t land. Plus, Josh has to meet with the Vice President to bring him around to the Bartlet administration's plans for campaign finance. President Bartlet travels to Rosalind, Virginia, to speak at the Newseum and give a live town hall meeting. But as they’re exiting, S#&* goes down and shots ring out. JOSH: Well done HRISHI: Before we even get into the episode though, Josh, I want to ask you about the title. ‘What kind of day has it been’ is a very Sorkin title, it’s been the finale for lots of things that he’s done before.

  • TEXTUALITY in HENRY JAMES' the FIGURE ZN the CARPET José
    TEXTUALITY IN HENRY JAMES' THE FIGURE ZN THE CARPET José Liste Universidad de Santiago A tale of literary detectives, a teasing burlesque of naive criticism, a comic demonstration of the ineffability of Art, a parallel defence of the intimate mysteries of life and literature or a prime exarnple of a literary master's inveterate habit of pulling his reader's leg? Which description succeeds in filling out the figure of The Figure in the Carpet? Henry James presents us with a tale of reading(s), a story which iraces through the eyes of an envious, self-seeking but ultimately likeable -and anonymous- first-person narrator both a frustrated and a succesful search for meaning: frustrated in the case of the narrator and the tale's "real" readers, successful (?) in the shape of fellowaitic George Corvick's quest. A meaning which originates "despite itself" in the work of the renowned novelist Hugh Vereker, which is discovered by that "demon of subtlety", George Corvick, and which finds its final resting-place, rather despairingly for the tale's more mortal readers, in the enigmatic figure of Gwendolen Erme, Corvick's wife, to whom the secret was seemingly transmitted via marriage and/or sexual intimacy. The "secret" remains a secret to the end and so our plight as readers is equated with that of the narrator-protagonist. But do we really lose out in this testing of literary agility and perspicacity? 1s it not the case, rather, that we get something out of James' tale in direct proportion to the effort we expend in, as Corvick says, "getting at" the tale? In other words, we must make it work for us rather than merely work for it.

    DECEMBER 2010 | OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY ENFORCEMENT COORDINATOR DECEMBER 2010 EDITION Intellectual Property Contents Introduction 1 Securing Our Supply Chain 2 Federal Coordination with International Organizations to Fight Intellectual Property Crime 5 Spotlight Federal Coordination with State and Local Law Enforcement 5 Counterfeit Pharmaceuticals 6 Enforcing Our Rights Internationally 6 Introduction This month marks the one-year anniversary of my being confirmed by the Senate as the U.S. Intellectual Property Enforcement Coordinator. Six months ago, we submitted to Congress the Administration’s first strategy on intellectual property enforcement. Since that time, we have been hard at work implementing the strategy. We have taken some exciting steps. I want to highlight one of those recent steps. Working with agencies across the U.S. Government, my office hosted a series of meetings with private companies that provide services to online pharmacies to help increase cooperation among them and with law enforcement to take voluntary action against illegal online pharmacies. On Dec. 14, at the White House Intellectual Property Health and Safety Forum, a group of private sector partners —American Express, eNom, GoDaddy, Google, MasterCard, Microsoft, Paypal, Neustar, Visa, and Yahoo!—announced that they will work to form a new nonprofit entity with other private sector participants to take appropriate voluntary action against illegal pharmaceutical websites. This effort is the first of its kind to combat illegal online pharmacies and it is an important first step in our efforts to facilitate voluntary and cooperative efforts in the private sector. With this announcement, the U.S. Government sent an important signal to governments and the global marketplace by demon­ strating an approach that combines aggressive enforcement of rights with working closely and cooperatively with the private sector on effective voluntary enforcement efforts.

  • Talking to Strangers: the Use of a Cameraman in the Office and What
    Running Head: TALKING TO STRANGERS 1 Talking to Strangers The Use of a Cameraman in The Office and What It Reveals about Communication Sarah Stockslager A Senior Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation in the Honors Program Liberty University Fall 2010 TALKING TO STRANGERS 2 Acceptance of Senior Honors Thesis This Senior Honors Thesis is accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation from the Honors Program of Liberty University. ______________________________ Lynnda S. Beavers, Ph.D. Thesis Chair ______________________________ Robert Lyster, Ph.D. Committee Member ______________________________ James A. Borland, Th.D. Committee Member ______________________________ Brenda Ayres, Ph.D. Honors Director ______________________________ Date TALKING TO STRANGERS 3 Abstract In the television mock-documentary The Office, co-workers Jim and Pam tell the cameraman they are dating before they tell their fellow co-workers in the office. The cameraman sees them getting engaged before anyone in the office has a clue. Even the news of their pregnancy is witnessed first by the camera crew. Jim and Pam’s boss, Michael, and other employees, such as Dwight, Angela and others, also share this trend of self-disclosure to the cameraman. They reveal secrets and embarrassing stories to the cameraman, showing a private side of themselves that most of their co-workers never see. First the term “mock-documentary” is explained before specifically discussing the The Office. Next the terms and theories from scholarly sources that relate the topic of self-disclosure to strangers are reviewed. Consequential strangers, weak ties, the stranger- on-a-train phenomenon, and para-social interaction are studied in relation to the development of a new listening stranger theory.
