star Ben Bailey Smith says he ‘couldn’t give two s***s’ about film’s critics". The Independent. The film is aware (though perhaps imperfectly so) of gender discrimination in the Regency and its traces in the modern day. But is it aware of racial discrimination? Cracknell’s interview in the LA Times is telling: [Austen’s] time wasn’t about racial issues. Because, of course, there weren’t other races that were involved in the world that she was dealing with, so the idea of colorblind casting [worked

think that I write about young adults. I don’t think this genre is constrained to the age range of its main characters; there are YA readers of all ages. Adolescence is a phase in modern life that continues to resonate throughout one’s lifetime. A quick glance at Joseph Campbell’s monomyth also shows us that coming of age has been a universal subject since forever. So it’s not really about reading levels or age ranges but about the lives of adolescent characters. Maybe some YA authors have their own

, and the policies and practices of professional organizations, such as the Modern Language Association, reveal the ways in which the image of the profession has been manipulated to fit other ideological agendas. Such issues have also affected the relative prestige of individual languages (the popularity of Russian in the space-age “Sputnik” era, for example, or the current popularity of Spanish linked to shifts in the U.S. demographic trends) as well as the rising and falling popularity of various

batteries store more energy per mass (specific energy) and per volume (energy density) than Li-ion batteries, but cannot discharge that energy as quickly as modern electronics need because metal anodes oxidize too slowly. We hypothesize that the specific power of metal-air batteries, as a class, would increase if the electrochemically accessible interfacial areas of metal anodes were greatly increased by supporting the redox-active metal component on nanostructured, porous current collectors. In such a

ARTIST STATEMENT I like to create art and designs that exude positivity. My designs have vivid and positive colors, smooth transitions and a play between light and shadow. My art is often surreal and reflects simplicity and sleekness because I enjoy looking at something that calms my mind. I need to surround myself with positive energy, and my art reflects

perhaps, I will get a degree in international relations…or another subject all together! While working on my capstone (which focuses on modern Korean history) I have only been more drawn to history and more drawn to Korea in particular. In the more distant and vaguer future I think I would like to work on the international level in some way. but as of right now, I am just gong with the flow and seeing where life takes me.
