This is a sexual figure that appeals to man’s baser desires. In society, that dichotomy gives rise to the…

Yes, it might sound corny, but eight tables later, twenty four chairs later, and a certificate at the end of my senior year, I finally understood why there classes were so important to me, and in the end, some of the material that I learned in the classes was beneficial and I will continue to use it throughout the rest of my life. There I was, a…

The novel, “Aquaboogie” by Susan Straight, depicts the art of survival through various short stories by piecing together the adversity that each character faces.

Each story within this novel introduces a unique character dealing with their own internal struggle and, in progression, they learn…

Subsequently, the Mayan race became inferior and experienced harsh treatment and exclusion. After gaining independence from Spain in the mid 1800’s, Guatemala struggled to remain stable which led to the overthrow of the Guatemalan government in 1954 leaving a…

In the late '80s I consulted with a small regional coffee roaster in Southwestern Colorado. Coffee as a global obsession hadn 't yet begun.
