Nina De Bisschop, Assistant Professor ESL 1 1 AMELEVI TOSSOU My name is Amelevi Tossou. I’m from Togo. I’m 19 years old, and I just graduated from Moline High School and am now attending Black Hawk College. My goal is to become a pediatrician, so I’m hoping to finish the ESL program so that I can start taking my major classes. I live here with my family: two siblings, one girl and one boy, my dad, and my stepmom. My dream is to find my mom and become a really big family. I hope I can find her. I love to play sports, such as basketball and volleyball, and I love to run. In my free time, I like to read books and sometimes watch movies. I like comedies, family movies, dramas, and romantic movies. Bullying Prevention As a victim of bullying, I was interesting in the definition of bullying: “use superior strength to influence people to intimidate (someone), typically to force him or her to do what one wants.” There are two types of bullying: psychological and physical. Psychological bullying involves gossiping, spreading destructive rumors, and talking trash behind people’s backs. Pushing, slapping, smacking, punching, tripping, physical wounding, and destruction of property are signs of physical bullying. The victim of bullying should use a variety of options to deal with bullying. Options to counteract or deal with psychological bullying can be painful. Ways to deal with those kinds of bullying could include ignoring the insults, asking for help, and talking to someone. In my point of view, the best way to deal with this is to stand firm and try to talk to someone who may help like a professor, a friend, parents, or anyone else who could help. For a bystander, the only way to stop psychological bullying is to help the victim. Do not walk past, but stop and say something. People may be surprised that only that one word said may change a life or even save someone’s life. For instance, if you see that someone is being bullied, do anything to help that person. You may not know this, but your stopping will make a really big difference in the victim’s life. Also, the bully may change his or her bad behavior. Many people become a bully because they were bullied before at school or home, or they may even have been abused at home by their parents or another family member. Psychological bullying can be worse than physical bullying because it is really hard to notice since you cannot see the victim’s pain. Before you notice that this person is being bullied, it may be too late. You can see when a person is being bullied physically. Physical bullying involves the victim getting beaten, being pushed around, or hurt in any other way. In my opinion, in order to stop this kind of behavior, people should not act scared, but should try to fight for themselves. It will stop sooner or later, but the only way it can stop sooner is to stand firm. 2 This is my own personal story of psychological bullying. In high school, during my freshmen year, I did not know any English; I could only speak French. Then one day, a bunch of girls came to me, stood next to my locker and tried talking to me, but I could not understand them, so I wrote on a piece of paper “only French”. They laughed at me, threw my books on the floor, and stepped on them while walking away. So

Gabrielle Hamilton stars in this scene in a revival that has it performed by a single dancer, barefoot, in a modern style. The film version of this scene has a tornado roaring in the background, while Susan Stroman’s choreography for this scene has the main cast perform it themselves, instead of having trained dancers play (*) avatars of them. This sequence ​ occurs after a character consumes the “Elixir of Egypt,” and it begins with a cheerful wedding that changes tone when the bride realizes two men have suddenly switched characters. Originally choreographed by Agnes de Mille, this revolutionary scene is regarded as the first dance sequence in a musical to incorporate plot.

  • …But You Could've Held My Hand by Jucoby Johnson
    …but you could’ve held my hand By JuCoby Johnson Characters Eddie (He/Him/His)- Black Charlotte/Charlie (They/Them/Theirs)- Black Marigold (She/Her/Hers)- Black Max (He/Him/His)- Black Setting The past and present. Author’s Notes Off top: EveryBody in this play is Black. I strongly encourage anyone casting this play to avoid getting bogged down in a narrow understanding of blackness or limit themselves to their own opinions on what it means to be black. Consider the full spectrum of Blackness and what you will find is the full spectrum of humanity. One character in this play is gender non-binary. I encourage people to fill the role with an actor who is also gender non-binary. I also urge people not to stop there. Consider trans performers for any and all roles. This play can only benefit from their presence in the room. The ages of the actors don’t need to match the ages of the characters. I would actually encourage an ensemble of all different ages. As we play with time in this play, this will open us up to possibilities that extend beyond realism or any other genre. Speaking of genre, my only request is that the play be theatrical. Whatever that means to you. This is not realism, or naturalism, or expressionism, or any other ism. Forget all about genre. All that to say: Be Bold. Have fun. Lead with love. 2 “Love is or it ain’t. Thin love ain’t love at all.” -Toni Morrison 3 A Beginning Darkness.

  • MTO 2.2: Burnham, Theorists
    Volume 2, Number 2, March 1996 Copyright © 1996 Society for Music Theory Scott Burnham KEYWORDS: theorists, musicologists, musical training, prototypes, Chopsticks [1] Everyone in this room has probably either heard or performed the piano classic popularly known as “Chopsticks.” Here’s a question for you then: Why is Chopsticks so fun to play? And here are a few answers. Let’s start with one that does not involve a close reading of “the music itself ”. For instance, let’s start with the title and its implications. Guess what: the fun we have with Chopsticks is not as innocent as we might have imagined. The title perhaps implies that the piece could be played with chopsticks, that its blankly primitive repetitions are to be associated with what a Westerner might ethnocentrically think of as blankly primitive tableware. And thus a seemingly innocuous bit of piano play could be interpreted as invoking anti-Asian prejudices so thoroughly ingrained in our American culture that they are imbibed in the very first organized polyphony we generally learn to produce on the piano. An investigation of Chopsticks in this vein would reveal sinister forces pulling at our fingers, making sure we in fact enjoy the work of stereotype and subjugation, such that it becomes a form of play. We could then broaden the context of this interpretation by playing figuratively on the fundamental black-and-whiteness of the keyboard, invoking the degraded histories of ivory and slavery, latent horrors waiting to be uncovered in the family piano. Remember, for instance, that Chopsticks stays on the white keys and celebrates (enforces?) Western diatonic tonality, while that old pentatonic ditty—rival to Chopsticks among the piano’s young proteges—is primitively played with a rolling fist on the black keys.

  • Today's Leading Exponent of (The) Legacy
    ... today’s leading exponent of (the) legacy. Backstage 2007 THE DANCER OF THE FUTURE will be one whose body and soul have grown so harmoniously together that the natural language of that soul will have become the movement of the human body. The dancer will not belong to a nation but to all humanity. She will not dance in the form of nymph, nor fairy, nor coquette, but in the form of woman in her greatest and purest expression. From all parts of her body shall shine radiant intelligence, bringing to the world the message of the aspirations of thousands of women. She shall dance the freedom of women – with the highest intelligence in the freest body. What speaks to me is that Isadora Duncan was inspired foremost by a passion for life, for living soulfully in the moment.

  • Sel Roti ( Nepali Rice Bread)
    Sel Roti ( Nepali Rice Bread) Ingredients 3 cups white rice soaked 1 medium banana 1 cup sugar ¾ unsalted melted butter ½ cup rice flour Vegetable oil Start by soaking the rice at least 4 hours or overnight. Drain and place in a blender or food processor with the banana, sugar, butter and process, adding up to 1 1/2 cups of water to make a semi-thick puree. You may have to do this in two batches. Remove the batter and place in a mixing bowl and beat with hand vigorously to make it fluffy semi-thick smooth batter. Cover and set aside to rest for 20 to 30 minutes. When the batter is well rested, mix it again with your hand until all the ingredients in the batter are fully mixed - this process is called "peenako chaamal lai beskaree faaune" in Nepali. The consistency should be similar to thick pourable heavy cream. If the batter is too runny, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of rice flour and mix well. If it seems too thick, gradually add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water and mix well. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until it is hot (350 to 375 degree). Test the readiness by placing a small drop of batter into the hot oil. If it bubbles and rises to the surface immediately, it is ready. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the oil slowly, making a large circle. You can use your hand, or a squeezable paper or plastic cup or a pastry bag with a medium-size opening to pour the batter.
