initiatives, ACAP’s Agriculture & Livestock Development Program could be utilized to create a food cooperative between the subsistence farmers residing in off trail communities and the guesthouse owners of Ghandruk.

It was in this small village that I experienced the 8.1 magnitude Gorkha earthquake that shook Nepal to its core, resulting in my evacuation from the country. Since returning stateside I have been dedicated to the continued study of the Nepali language and community-based conservation efforts in Nepal. This past summer I attended Cornell University to complete the only remaining Nepali language course in the United States. A month after completing this program I used my command of Nepali to present a paper at the University of Washington 's Student-Focused Research Symposium on Contemporary Issues in Nepal. It was here that I had the opportunity to interact with faculty from UW 's Nepal Initiative Program. Through this association, I am interested in the work of UW’s Research Associate Nabin Baral, on Integrated conservation and development project life cycles in the Annapurna Conservation Area, Nepal. The research that I have conducted abroad along with the programs and projects that I have been engaged in during my undergraduate career has taught me first hand that when it comes to…

The Power of Language in Shakespeare 's Othello In Othello, the contamination of linguistic matter (whether through verbal or human associations, through deliberate perversion, or by senseless mouthing of meaninglessness) ultimately destroys the ordered control of normal behaviour patterns, personal or social (Shaw 306).
