Tau beta sigma famu1/15/2024 ![]() ![]() In the year 2001, my mother and I resided at 1915 West 67th Street in Chicago, IL. What made you want to pledge Delta Sigma Theta? We can see how necessary these programs are to Tallahassee and can’t wait to give back. We’re really excited to bring these events back and serve the campus and community. Our biggest event coming up in the spring is Frenchtown Explosion, where we partner with other organizations to put on fun events for kids in a neighborhood near our university, and give out donated items such as clothes and toiletries. We will meet with legislators and attend different bill hearings to lobby for legislation that will have a strong impact on the members of our community. Delta Days at the Capitol is something we’re really excited about because, being at FAMU, we are right in the heart of the state of Florida and are located fairly close to the capitol. Niamoja is where active chapter members visit a specific school in our community and bond with the children through reading and activities. Support a Black Business is one of our staple programs that benefits the surrounding Tallahassee community economically by encourage patronage at local black business through social media and other marketing tools, as well as financially supporting the business ourselves. This upcoming year, some of our biggest initiatives include Support a Black Business, Niamoja, Frenchtown Explosion, and Delta Days at the Capitol. What specific initiatives is your chapter heading up this year and how do you think they will improve the campus/surrounding community? I refused to attend any other institution besides an HBCU, and although going to school almost 1,000 miles away from home was challenging and pushed me outside of my comfort zone, I know that I made the right choice. It was really FAMU’s School of Business and Industry (SBI) and the marketing of their program at my high school, Lindblom Math and Science Academy, that drew me in. I wanted to create an everlasting legacy and blaze a new trail for my family, and there was no better place to do this than Florida A&M University (FAMU). ![]() I am the first person in my family to attend college, so selecting the best university was a very serious decision for me. What made you decide to attend Florida A&M University for undergrad? I am constantly making sacrifices for my chapter and must do my best to make myself available to chapter members for anything, especially conducting chapter business. To me, being a Chapter President is to always uphold Delta’s standards. What does it mean to be a chapter president to you? The footage is from a 1990 field show filmed on VHS.We interviewed the Business Administration major who is currently on a five-year MBA Program and talked about her position, goals, future and what it means to hold a leadership position on campus in the digital age. If you want to look at a FAMU show under the direction of William Foster we attached a clip below for you to check out. Five years later, in 1955, he received a Doctor of Education Degree with a major in music from Teachers College, Columbia University. Foster received his Bachelor of Music Education Degree from the University of Kansas in 1941 and then went on to receive a Master of Arts in Music Degree from Wayne State University in 1950. Foster is known for revolutionizing college marching bands with high tempos, dancing, and high-stepping.ĭr. He also secured a partnership with Disney World that helped the school gain national attention. They began to appear in film, television, magazines, and newspapers. When Foster became director he sensationalized the Marching 100. This was during the time that the institution was still known as the Normal and Industrial College for Colored Students.

First isadora moon book1/15/2024 Sin embargo, lo más importante del libro nos lo enseña el Conde Moon.Įs mejor ser honesto, pasar un mal rato y después contar con el apoyo de las personas en vez de mentir, sentirse culpable y lidiar con el peso de la conciencia.Īmo este tipo de libros que aunque en apariencia solo sirvan como entretenimiento, nos van dejando mensajes importantes que a primera leída, pasan desapercibidos. Lo que para Isadora es vergonzoso y malo, a todos les resulta sorprendente y les gustaría estar en sus zapatos. Resulta que pierde el peine de su padre y conoce a unas sirenas. Isadora Moon no quiere, pues sus vacaciones fueron espantosas. Es el regreso a clases y tienes que contar lo que hiciste durante tus vacaciones. Tenemos a, quien resulta ser muy amigable y dispuesta a ayudar y a la sirena que será reina, quien por miedo a la soledad, no tiene una personalidad del todo agradable. Y creo que hasta ahora, este libro es el que menos ilustraciones tiene.Ī diferencia de los demás que he leído, este tiene mucho más texto pero igual está muy bueno.Įn esta historia se nos presenta un personaje totalmente nuevo en el mundo de Isadora -pero que no será recurrente- se trata de las sirenas, aquí encontramos a dos y cada una de ellas es especial y totalmente opuestas. La historia se desarrolla en dos lugares: la escuela y la playa. Hola hola, aquí otra review de Isadora ¡Qué la disfruten! Ik had al gezien dat er meer boeken van Isabella uit gaan komen, ik kan niet wachten! Ze was toch heel duidelijk dat het een slecht idee was om het kammetje mee te nemen.ĭe illustraties zijn wederom weer leuk, en ook het fel roze/zwart kleurschema past perfect bij het boek. Sorry hoor, maar dan had je maar eens naar je vrouw moeten luisteren. Je kunt bijna niet functioneren zonder dat kammetje. Want wat was dat een ijdeltuit, je bent met je gezin gezellig aan het kamperen en je denkt alleen maar aan je uiterlijk en aan je kammetje. ![]() :P De prinses vond ik wat minder, maar gelukkig werd zij ook beter, ze had gewoon wat vriendschap nodig.ĭit keer was ik niet gefrustreerd met het konijn (nou ja, nog wel een beetje, maar niet veel) maar met de vader. Ik vond degene die Isabella eerst tegenkwam erg lief en leuk (ook al leek ze wel heel erg op Isabella's moeder, maar dat lag waarschijnlijk aan het feit dat ze er uit ziet als een reuze suikerspin. Ik gok dat er dus wel meer bijzondere wezens in de mensenwereld lopen en dat het normaal is. Want ja, ik vraag me nog steeds af waarom niemand vreemd opkijkt van een fee, een vampier, en kinderen die een mengeling zijn. Ik vond het leuk om eens wat andere bijzondere wezens te komen. Gelukkig is Isabella een meid die ziet dat wat ze deed fout was en het probeert goed te maken. Ik wist al meteen dat het een slecht idee was toen Isabella dat kammetje ging gebruiken. Maar later wordt het nog specialer als Isabella een meermin en een meerminprinses tegenkomt. Het begint al met de tenten (mijn vraag nu is of die tenten hetzelfde werken als in Harry Potter, gegeven dat er een heel bed, en verschillende andere dingen in werden geschoven). Je weet gewoon dat een kampeertrip heel speciaal gaat worden. Een vampier, een fee, 2 halfhalf kindjes. Ik had al een vermoeden dat het geen normaal tripje zou worden, want kom op, het is Isabella en haar familie. Het tweede Isabella Maan boekje, en hij was net zo leuk als het eerste boek.ĭit keer gaat Isabella samen met haar familie kamperen! Wel, eigenlijk heeft ze dat al gedaan en is dit haar verhaal voor de klas (leuk om ook die klas eens te zien + de lerares). ![]() I was a little uncomfortable with the fact that she doesn't tell her parents about her nighttime adventures, though. This time, Isadora must grapple with her guilt when she loses one of her father's precious family heirlooms and she must summon the courage to tell him about it. As always, the fun and fantasy elements support a heartfelt "message" that isn't too didactic. Though not my favorite in the series, I did enjoyed the beach setting (which was a surprise as I assumed she’d be camping in a forest) and I imagine little ones who are mermaid fans will find much to enjoy here. ![]() but it's still a sweet, fun story and I appreciated that Isadora's family used their magic to help others. it felt a bit chaotic and far-fetched near the end. This one isn't my favorite in the series. ![]() The stories are well-written, the characters all feel well-drawn. The illustrations are full of the most darling details that always make me smile. I adore these Isadora Moon books! They are so charming and fun.

Ikea runnen decking1/14/2024 ![]() Also, I was worried that the brown stain might run after the rain, and stain the tiles underneath, which would make it a nightmare to clean later. I didn’t want to risk my decking looking horrible after just a few months. My balcony is exposed to the sun and rain, and here in the tropics, we get some crazy sun and rain. ![]() However, I saw online, that when exposed to the elements, they fade and peel quickly. Choose the right decking for your area. My original idea was to get the brown wood stained ones.I chose not to opt for that, even though I like wood, which I will explain below. The exception will be if you’re using the Ikea Runnen decking with wood, which you may be able to cut to fit. You can add decorative stones around the edges to fill in the gaps if you like. So, if you are working with a fixed width, like a balcony, round down the number of tiles you need, not up. Once you interlock the tiles, the combined size will be slightly larger, as there is a slight gap between them (it is part of the design). In your measurements, allow for extra space around the edges.I was lucky, the tiles on my balcony were already 30x30cm tiles, so I just had to count the pieces. Don’t bother measuring by area – you will be installing the tile by pieces, so you need to know how many pieces you will need. Each pack of Ikea Runnen decking comes in a set of 9 pieces. You then want to divide your length and breadth by 30 to figure out how many pieces of decking tile you will need, and then divide that by 9 to figure out how many packs you need. Each piece of Ikea Runnen decking tile is 30x30cm. Measure the area you want to install the decking on, taking a length and breadth measurement using centimeters (cm).This should be laid over your existing tile or cement floors. So, don’t think about laying this on grass or earth in your garden. The Ikea Runnen decking are interlocking tiles, and are meant to be laid on a flat, solid surface. ![]() When you want something done properly, just do it yourself! □īefore you even begin, there are some things you have to think about and work out first. It’s light enough that you can carry all the pieces you need home yourself, and fix it up yourself – no need to fuss around trying to get some guy to fix it up for you. These are the Ikea Runnen decking for outdoor use, and I’ll tell you how I did it, and what you need to know. There are many places you can look, but my research brought me to Ikea! □ When I got there, and poked around, I saw the ones I wanted were on sale. So, I needed decking that could sit over the existing tiles. I did not want to hack my floor tiles on the balcony (I wasn’t allowed to and on hind sight, it was probably a good idea not to). Incidentally, there wasn’t a lot of information out there when I was doing my research, so I reckon this will be helpful □ Much to my surprise, when I showed it off on Instagram stories, because I was so proud of myself LOL!, so many of you asked me about it, how I did it, where I got the materials etc. So I said “To hell with it! I’ll figure it out later!” and I went ahead and laid down decking on my balcony.

Walt whitman new eden1/14/2024 ![]() He is America." Life and work Early life He has expressed that civilization, 'up to date,' as he would say, and no student of the philosophy of history can do without him." Modernist poet Ezra Pound called Whitman "America's poet. Art historian Mary Berenson wrote, "You cannot really understand America without Walt Whitman, without Leaves of Grass. Whitman's influence on poetry remains strong. When he died at the age of 72, his funeral was a public event. ![]() After suffering a stroke towards the end of his life, Whitman moved to Camden, New Jersey, where his health further declined. On the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, whom Whitman greatly admired, he authored two poems, " O Captain! My Captain!" and " When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd", and gave a series of lectures on Lincoln. His poetry often focused on both loss and healing. Whitman continued expanding and revising Leaves of Grass until his death in 1892.ĭuring the American Civil War, he went to Washington, D.C., and worked in hospitals caring for the wounded. The work was an attempt to reach out to the common person with an American epic. ![]() Whitman's major poetry collection, Leaves of Grass, first published in 1855, was financed with his own money and became well known. He worked as a journalist, a teacher, and a government clerk. At the age of 11, he left formal schooling to go to work. Whitman was born in Huntington on Long Island, and lived in Brooklyn as a child and through much of his career. His work was controversial in his time, particularly his 1855 poetry collection Leaves of Grass, which was described by some as obscene for its overt sensuality. Whitman incorporated both transcendentalism and realism in his writings and is often called the father of free verse. He is considered one of the most influential poets in American history.
