I was placed in charge of makeup application, instruction, and management for a number of shows including Summit University’s The Miracle Worker, Cinderella, and 3 Irish Plays. As well as aiding Salem Baptist Christian School in their productions of The Perfect Idiot and The Curious Savage. My education on special effects makeup is very limited; however I adore it and am anxious grow in it. While at Summit I was privileged to have two makeup application sessions with Jim O’Hora a professional makeup instructor and entrepreneur mentored by a relative of Ben Nye from Ben Nye’s makeup. Although makeup is my favorite medium, I also dabble in set design, dressing, construction, and hand props. This gave me an appreciation for all aspects of the artistic backstage world and an understanding of the vitality of…

Ediger and three other people, Louis Vitale, Alain Richard, and Julia Occhiogrosso, started the committee in the mid-eighties and got groups of people together to shut down the Nevada test site.

Riding With Staph “Let ‘er buck boys!” and the chute gate swung open and the beast blew outta there like Mr. Sweeney’s temper when he feels he is being ignored. He exploded into a series of spins and belly rolls. My thoughts were stuck on making the eight second ride, as if it were the only thing that mattered in the world. In great disappointment, I felt a quick pop and recognized that my hand has blown outta the handle on my rope. One, two, almost three more jumps I ride without anything to…

international relations through the lens of neoliberalism becomes a battle of objectives and prevailing truths, rather than solely a tug of war for power. For example, imagine a hypothetical situation where Pakistan has been threatened by India and preemptively attacks India. China, seeing India as an up and coming rival which it wants to weaken, might come to the defense of Pakistan, supporting Pakistan in the international community, knowing that a weakened India will benefit China as well.…

As according to (Nye, Jr., 2004), Japan’s strategy in its rebuilding process focused mainly on targeting strategic industries for development, financing major projects, exporting fiercely and protecting infant industries.
