His painting, The Dreamer is a beautiful example of Greuze’s talent in portraying emotion by successfully combining the elements of art which enhance the mood of the image.

His use of smooth, flowing lines which curve with the…

New York City sparkles on the shore of the Atlantic Ocean. The season of winter had swallowed much of the city with white plush snow. People paced through the city who were running late each one needing to go to a different place the next one. Subway took off one after another traveling through underground New York. Store fastening sale signs to every window hoping to rack in a few more sale before the New Year. The city, which seems to never sleep, is like a beehive each person representing a…

It’s been one long week after the hurricane hit my town with a crash. I’m at home with my family praising the fact that it is perfectly fine and wasn’t damaged too badly from the blustery and blasting the wind and the downpour of the heavy rain.

For example, within Zambia and more specifically in Misisi, children, women and men suffer endlessly from preventable diseases that can be prevented by those sitting in “plush offices”, working for SAPs and The World Bank. While countless people in Misisi sit and wait in illness infested hospital rooms, cleaner hospital beds sit empty for the select few who can afford to pay $40 to help save their families lives.

volcanic seeps near the waters of Papua New Guinea on three tropical coral reefs that housed numerous species and organisms.

The apartment’s only furniture was two beds, a tv and a small circular wooden circle table in the middle of the…
