Graduate Program Information

     General information:

     Application process:

  • For your convenience, CSUN has an ON-LINE APPLICATION (CalState Apply), through which you will need to submit your transcripts, GRE scores (if submitting) and TOEFL/IELTS score (if necessary).
  • NOTE: in addition to the minimum CSUN requirements for application, the following are required for applying to the Chemistry and Biochemistry Department:
    • Minimum recommended GPA is 3.0. You must have earned a bachelor's degree in Chemistry, Biochemistry or a closely related subject, or have taken numerous upper-division chemistry and/or biochemistry courses (plus calculus) in preparation for this program.
    • NOTE - starting with applicants for Fall 2018 admission: If your cumulative GPA is lower than 3.0, you are required to take the general GRE and submit your scores as part of your application.
    • A personal statement (maximum 2 double-spaced pages) must be submitted directly to the Graduate Coordinator. Please DO NOT upload to CalState Apply, as the department will never receive it. Contents should include (but are not restricted to) a narrative about your motivation to join the Master’s program, what you’d like to do after obtaining the degree, an explanation of gaps in your academic record (if you have any), what subdiscipline you are interested in pursuing, and the names of a couple of faculty in our department with whom you might want to do research (and why).
    • Provide at least one letter of recommendation (cannot be a form letter) that addresses your specific skills, especially those that are relevant to research.  Please have the referree send their letter directly to the Graduate Coordinator, either via email or regular mail (see address below). At the same time that you submit your personal statement, please let the Graduate Coordinator know the name(s) of people providing letters so that the committee will know what to expect to receive before evaluating your completed application.
  • We currently do rolling admissions. You are therefore encouraged to submit your application early (because we may fill up our available slots before the final admissions deadline). Please see the university admissions calendar for deadline details.
  • Please note that submission of all required materials does not guarantee admission to the MS Chemistry or Biochemistry program; admission decisions are dependent on a number of factors, including (but not limited to) the grades received in relevant courses, the quality of the materials submitted, and the number of available spaces in a given program at the time we receive the application.
  • You can enroll in classes once Admissions and Records has received the application and you have been assigned a File Number. The official notice of acceptance often comes after the assignment of the File Number so that you can register for classes even though you might not have received an official notice of acceptance. If not, you can enroll in chemistry or biochemistry classes via Tseng College Open University if you wish.

  • Contact the Graduate Coordinator to get the dates/times of upcoming required Proficiency Exams. These are standardized, multiple choice exams from the American Chemical Society. You take them using a pencil darkening a circle for the answer you think is correct. Your answers are compared to a special key provided by the Society. There are no essay portions. Practice tests can be purchased from the ACS.
  • For students that have been accepted to the MS Chemistry program, you must pass exams in any three subjects (Analytical, Biochemistry, Inorganic, Organic or Physical). For students that have been accepted to the MS Biochemistry program, you must pass exams in Biochemistry and Organic as well as one other Chemistry subdiscipline. If you do not pass a particular exam you will be able to gain proficiency by taking the corresponding course and obtaining a B. See the Graduate Handbook (in the "After Admission" section, above) for more details.
  • If you want to study for these exams, review your textbooks (Review Topics).

Working with a Buyer’s Agent

Posted by JD Esajian // January 20, 2011

Today, most buyers choose to work with a buyer’s agent who represents their interests. However, most of those agents also list properties for sale and things can get muddy if you want to buy a home that happens to have been listed by your own real estate agent. That single agent now has a duty to obtain the highest price for the seller and the lowest price for you. That’s impossible to accomplish of course.

Closest Curious Walks

    Curious About... Edinburgh

  • An exploration of Edinburgh's city centre with two self-guided heritage walks with an optional treasure hunt. Completing the treasure hunt keeps everyone actively engaged, and urges you to look up, down and every which-way - so you won't miss out on any of the city's treasures.
    Explore, Discover, and Enjoy!
  • Most clues are chosen for their historical value, so you'll learn about the diverse culture, significant people and extraordinary events which have influenced Edinburgh in becoming what it is today.
  • This is an outdoor, unsupervised activity - so you can go at a pace which suits you, whilst keeping you healthy!
  • A Curious About walk is a fun and social activity for all the family and friends. Different people can take on different roles - follow the map, identify picture clues, read directions, etc - it's ideal for children from the age of 6, and if you can walk/wheelchair it, you're young enough!
  • The two walks have been designed so that the second one follows on from where the first one ends. Do both, or have a breather and do the second one another day! They both start and finish in the heart of the city - so buses, trains and car parks are easily available to get you there and back.
  • One booklet is suitable for up to 4 people, and is available to instantly download on purchase for printing at home or for using immediately on your mobile device, or we can print and bind it then send to you using 1st class Royal Mail.
Curious About... Edinburgh

Two walks are included in the booklet, the 2nd starts where the first finishes.

1. Old Town - 1.33 miles / 2.1 kms

Starting at the famous Edinburgh Castle, home of the Military Tattoo, this walk wends its way in and out of the Royal Mile, exploring cobbled streets and quirky passages. After circling the imposing St Giles' Cathedral and Parliament Square it continues down the Royal Mile before heading off down North Bridge. Next you pass the impressive Register House before finishing at Calton Hill.
Edinburgh Castle Calton Hill   Children's University logoChildren's University event1.25 hoursNot Suitable

2. New Town - 1.25 miles / 2 kms

Initially explore the World Heritage site of Calton Hill, with its spectacular views of the city and beyond. Next pass The Regent’s Bridge, before heading to St Andrew Square, and along the elegant George Street. Pause to view regal statues, then head down to the splendour of the Royal Scottish Academy and National Portrait Gallery. Finally into Princes Street Gardens to end at the grandeur of the Scott Monument– will you have the energy to climb it?

What People are Saying!

"Dear Rob and Sue
I just want to say that my daughter and I have really enjoyed doing the two Edinburgh walks. I have lived in Edinburgh for over 20 years and have learnt more about the New Town and Old Town in the 1hour and half each these walks have taken than my time here living in Edinburgh.
I also have the Glasgow book and my daughter and I are looking forward to doing one of the walks during the Easter Holidays.
Thanks "

Ride in a lyft car

By hurting taxi drivers, Uber and Lyft are hurting everyone.

When I first heard about the “sharing economy,” I thought it sounded like a big, beautiful potluck. I imagined community gardeners supplying their accountant friends with vegetables in exchange for help on their taxes—or a group of neighbors pooling their resources to invest in a single motor vehicle to share between them. In other words, decisions on the part of grassroots consumers to disinvest from an increasingly dysfunctional capitalist system. Although utopic and likely difficult (if not impossible) to bring to scale, this was a vision I could get behind.

But the actual sharing economy looks nothing like this.

“Ride sharing” services like Uber and Lyft, considered the poster children for this so-called “sharing economy,” are in fact the epitome of big-time capitalism, run by CEOs in thrall to Ayn Randian economics and attracting investments from the likes of Jeff Bezos, Google and Goldman Sachs. Now, they’ve hired high-powered lobbyists, lawyers and consultants to wage spirited legal and political campaigns across the country, including astroturf activism like the email I recently received, urging me to ask my governor to veto pending regulatory legislation that targets their business model.

What Uber and their ilk are fighting for is their right to evade regulatory protections that ensure not just safety for passengers, but also basic labor protections for the professional taxi drivers for whom cabs are a primary source of income. According to Uber, policies like the one pending in my home state of Illinois will destroy “thousands of jobs for people in need of cash to pay their bills,” including “military veterans, teachers, retirees, students, students, the unemployed and underemployed.” (See also: babies and dogs.)

They’re referring to the part-time drivers who participate in the low-cost non-taxi ridesharing service UberX, who are currently not required to hold commercial licenses, and who are facing some pretty sketchy working conditions, including unpredictable percentages owed to Uber and unreliable protection from the company in case of accidents.

But UberX drivers are also undercutting professional cab drivers  and could arguably be described as scabs, helping encourage an overall race to the bottom. With their help, the taxi cab business is now going the way of many other industries in the 21st century, as what was once a potentially viable career is displaced by contingent, part-time, and more easily exploited workers. As San Francisco Cab Drivers Association President Barry Korengold said, “It’s making a full-time job into precarious labor.”

If the folks at Uber are to be believed, cab drivers are politically-insulated fat cats, described by C.E.O. Travis Kalanick as “so woven into the political machinery and fabric that a lot of people owe [them] favors.” But this has not been in any way borne out by my experience in my hometown of Chicago. A 2009 study conducted by the University of Illinois’ Center for Labor and Employment Relations found that the average taxi driver only earns $4.38 an hour—not even within the same stratosphere as a living wage.

Despite multiple driver-led organizing efforts, the City of Chicago has not approved a fare increase since 2005, and the city’s treatment of cabbies has long been similar to that of a deadbeat boss. Drivers also face exploitation from leasing agents and medallion owners, and the persistent threat of abuse by customers. Rather than opening up new pathways to employment, companies like Uber are in fact further eroding conditions for an already vulnerable workforce.

Cab drivers are an easy target. Many are immigrants and people of color. In addition to working independently, and for a multitude of leasing companies, they come from a diversity of countries and cultures, making it a difficult sector to organize.

Even some on the left have been known to scapegoat cabbies. When I worked for a progressive social justice funder, some members of our community-led grantmaking committee were initially suspicious of a proposal that we received from a taxi-driver organizing committee, worried the drivers were too focused on their individual self interest, rather than broader solidarity with their customers and communities. Meanwhile, others have leveled understandable critiques of driver misogyny and/or racism.

But studies have shown that drivers are just as, if not more, likely to be victimized; 3 out of five have experienced some form of violence, and they are 60 times more likely to be murdered than average citizens. Many of these attacks are racially motivated.

We need to stop thinking of taxi drivers as targets, and begin thinking of them as members of our community. Having stood waiting on street corners more times than I care to remember, hoping to flag cabs that never drove by, I understand the appeal of Uber. But so would many of the cab drivers whose organizing efforts I once funded, who would have liked nothing better than to have access to a reliable, non-exploitative centralized dispatch system, in order to cut down on their hours of lost income from driving without a fare.

There are alternatives. In Chicago, the app Hailo functions much like Uber, storing your credit card information, but contacting commercially licensed, fully insured drivers. Or you can keep contact information for a few of your favorite cabbies and call them directly when you need a lift.

Let’s reject the myth of the “sharing economy” for the obfuscating nonsense it is. When they said “sharing is caring,” I don’t think they meant sharing responsibility for the further erosion of labor protections or sharing more and more of our income with the elite, who profit most from companies like Uber. Instead, let’s extend generosity to the workers most in need of our support.

CELEBRITY Big Brother's Stephen Bear has come long way since becoming famous.

The reality TV star is known for scrubbing up well and being seen in more glamorous settings.

However, it wasn't always like that. New throwback photos have emerged showing Bear used to look quite a bit different before being the TV star he is known as today.

Bear is unrecognisable in these throwback snaps

The photos, which are around two or three years old, show Bear sporting bandanas and playing with toy guns.

The controversial CBB star looks almost unrecognisable in the hilarious old snaps.

One even shows Bear in a high-visibility vest holding a drill from his old days as a roofer.

Bear in his days as a roofer

Despite only being a couple of years ago, it seems a whole world away from the Bear who hangs out on luxurious beaches, flaunting his six-pack, or getting hot and heavy in the Celebrity Big Brother house.

The 23-year-old has put his past firmly behind him, as he quickly becomes a household name across Britain for his cheeky chap antics and wild behaviour.

The Ex on the Beach star informed his housemates that he was only going to get worse after they nominated him

However, he isn't so popular with his fellow housemates, who have decided to give him eternal nomination, meaning he could be evicted as soon as tomorrow night.

Bear is up for eviction alongside Renee Graziano and Marnie Simpson.

* Celebrity Big Brother is on Channel 5 tonight at 9pm

Be aware of seasonal risks, says Dauphin fire chief

A rash of house fires over the hoidays has Cam Abrey wanting to remind the public to be careful.
The problem the Dauphin Fire Chief has is there is no one thing he can point to as a cause of the three blazes.
The cause of a Christmas Day fire which destroyed a residence southeast of the city is undetermined, while a New Year’s Day blaze which destroyed an unoccupied house approximately eight miles west of the city has been deemed accidntal and a third fire , Jan. 2, which heavily damaged a home on Second Avenue Southwest in Dauphin has been turned over to the RCMP for investigation.
“The Christmas Day fire there was nothing to investigate. When we arrived on scene there was nothing, but a basement,” Abrey said.

award-winning designer orit dolev reveals NOMAD, a digital instrument that creates music on the go. from trekking through asia and south america to living in a hacker home in the bay area with fifteen other people, dolev knows the pain of dragging a guitar around. based on that, she started questioning how one can improve the global music culture through design.

‘on one of my trips, I decided to bring a guitar and finally learn how to play it’, she explains. ‘I thought to myself: this would be a great way to meet new people by bridging gaps of culture and language through music. but the experience of traveling with this musical instrument turned out to be frustrating. the shape of the resonance box prevented me from putting it in my backpack and the strings would constantly break and get out of tune’.

designed to encourage mobility and adventure, the minimalistic form makes NOMAD portable and durable

orit dolev has developed NOMAD as an instrument that can be thrown in a backpack and used practically anywhere and anytime. the wooden neck creates a familiar feel, while the minimalistic form enables artists to take their musical instrument anywhere they go. the pressure sensitive frets and flexible rubber strings preserve a traditional playing experience. however, thanks to their soft tactile material, they will never break or get out of tune. it is a combination of both digital and analog features – maintaining the familiarity of a classic guitar, yet adding the possibilities hidden within a digital musical instrument.

pressure sensitive frets and flexible strings that never break or get out of tune

paired with an app, NOMAD can play an endless variety of sounds and frets can be turned off for ‘fretless mode’ while a digital capo controls the pitch of the strings. users can play music through headphones or connect wirelessly to the portable amplifier to share tracks with other people. designed as a pair, the amplifier doubles as a case cover which protects and complements the instrument. the final product reveals distinct qualities of internal and external, low-tech and hi-tech, traditional and modern.

NOMAD is born from the desire to create music on-the-go

  • how much and where to buy?

    Marilee Wallace says:
  • need this one, maybe a couple. Buy where?

    nelsondreyesarchitect says:
  • Knockout!
    Even useless Hendrix wannabees like me could work with this.
    Would have been nice to hear different tones coming out of it (acoustic, Fender, Gibson etc) on the Video. maybe website has it.

    mackenzie collins says:
  • incredible!!! what a rich sound!

    ehud oren says:
  • That´s beyond genius! As a travelling street musician that´s exactly what I´ve always been dreaming of! Only few question remain. Is the sound quality good (enough)? Can I afford it? And when will it be available? (I want it NOW!!!)

  • @Marilee Wallace: Just follow the link in the text http://nomadyourmusic.com/ It´s still a prototype yet, but you can subscribe to an Email list to get informed, when they start selling.

  • This is a real tech breakthru! If it sounds as good in real life as it does on the video, Dolev has a winner IMHO!

The Sassy Submissive

Stronghold Doms, #1

by Golden Angel

Product Description:

After years of reading hot books but never doing, Angel is finally ready to explore her fantasies in real life. The only problem? She'll have to learn the ropes at a local BDSM club all alone. Adopting a false Domme persona, Angel goes a little farther afield to dip her toes into the water of BDSM; with the local club Stronghold being her eventual goal when she's ready to take the plunge as a submissive. But there's an unexpected complication:  on her first night at Chained, the club where she's chosen to get her feet wet, she finds herself irresistibly attracted to one of the true Doms.

Master Adam's looking for a submissive, not another dominant. When his path crosses with "Angela's" at Chained, he's disappointed when she introduces herself as 'Mistress'. It's a perfectly ordinary encounter, but days later Adam still can't get "Angela" out of his head.

And when the two reconnect at Stronghold without any pretense, their first scene together is nothing less than explosive.

Not for the faint of heart, The Sassy Submissive contains scorching hot scenes for mature adults ready to play. The Stronghold Series is a spin-off from Golden Angel's much-loved Venus Rising Quartet, but it is not necessary to read the Quartet in order to enjoy the Stronghold books. The Sassy Submissive, book one in The Stronghold Doms Series, may also be read an enjoyed as a standalone.

Tofu and kale burritos

Food wrapped in dough is a favorite food group. Watch how excited kids get, seeing this dish come out of the oven. And while complicated, delicate pastries can wrap decadent desserts, in this dish, humble, store bought tortillas – whole wheat if you prefer – envelop highly nutritious ingredients, making it a healthy, easy, vegetarian main dish.

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 large onion, minced
  • 1 pack (16 ounces, about 140 grams) extra firm tofu, cut into small cubes
  • Salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 2 packed cups kale leaves, chopped thinly
  • 1 can black beans, rinsed, drained and mashed with a fork
  • 1/2 cup (4 ounces) mascarpone cheese
  • 10-12 flour tortillas (whole wheat or regular)
  • Extra-virgin olive oil (for lightly toasting the tortillas)
  • 2 tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese or Mexican blend cheese (optional)

For the filling:

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, sauté onions until golden and soft

Add the tofu, salt, pepper and cumin, and cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes

Add the kale and cook until kale starts to wilt. Remove from heat.

Add mashed beans and then the mascarpone cheese

Taste and correct seasoning

To make the burritos:

In a skillet over medium-high heat, with a very small amount of oil, lightly toast tortillas on both sides until they turn just a shade browner and are lightly crisp

To fill the tortillas:

Spoon filling (about 2 tablespoons) onto the tortilla just below the center (don’t overload: the burrito still needs to be folded and rolled)

Fold the bottom edge up and over the filling

Fold the opposite sides inward and over the filling

Roll up the burrito so it makes a nice closed pack

Place burritos, seam side down, in a lightly oiled baking dish

Sprinkle burritos with the shredded cheddar if desired

Bake in a preheated 350 F oven for about 20 minutes, until the burritos are crisp, and the cheese has melted.

Serve with salsa or guacamole, and a green salad.

Yield: 10-12 burritos.

Dr. Ayala

Toothaches are common dental issues that make some people’s minds stir and wonder a little bit. Maybe they wonder about the causes of a toothache. Maybe they wonder about how to relieve a toothache. Or maybe they wonder how to prevent toothaches. If you’re one of these people, our dentists, Drs. Tracey Tabor Williams & Amy Montefalco, are here to help you. To give you the answers you’re looking for, they are happy to provide the answers to those questions.

What causes a toothache?

There are many culprits that could be behind a toothache. Those culprits include having something wedged deeply between your teeth or in the gums, an infection in the gums, an abscessed tooth, a cavity, a cracked tooth, or, lastly, a sinus infection.

How can I relieve a toothache?

For the simple culprits, like a stuck food particle, use floss to remove it. You can also rinse with saltwater to reduce swelling and kill any bacteria that could be adding to the pain. For more serious issues, it’s important to see your dentist as soon as possible for treatment. For a sinus infection, visit your physician to discuss treatment options.

How can I prevent toothaches in the future?

The best way to prevent toothaches is to keep your teeth and gums in tip-top shape. In order to do so, you need to brush, floss, and rinse frequently and visit your dentist every six months. You can also wear a mouthguard while you are active to keep your smile free from oral trauma.

Call Tracey Tabor Williams, DMD today if you would like to know more about toothaches in Indianapolis, Indiana, or if you have additional questions that weren’t included in this blog. Our dental team will be thrilled to help you if you just call 317.637.4636!

Gamescom 2013: Ubisoft Releases Assassin’s Creed IV Naval Gameplay Video With Developer Commentary

on August 27, 2013 1:41 PM

The naval gameplay of Asssassin’s Creed III was the most memorable aspect of the game for me, personally. The detail and scope of its equivalent in Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag has got me very excited.

In a re-release of a recent gameplay video pertaining to the game’s naval gameplay, Game Director Ashraf Ismail lends his voice and gives commentary to the images that we are now all familiar with. Details are given in regards to the seamless design and major improvements over its predecessor from ACIII.

Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag is being developed by Ubisoft Montreal (alongside six other Ubisoft studios) and will be published by Ubisoft for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii U, and PC between late October and mid-November.

Trump announces Afghan troop surge, new Kabul hotel project

trump afghan speech
Photo Credit: Army Sgt. Amber Smith
Sponsored by GovX, which offers deep military discounts on gear, apparel & events – so you can save your money for the important things, like Ripits and tattoos.

THE WHITE HOUSE — President Donald Trump on Monday released his long-awaited strategy for Afghanistan, saying that he plans to surge thousands of additional US troops and open a new Trump Hotel in downtown Kabul, sources confirmed today.

“We believe the two biggest issues facing Afghanistan are a lack of security and economic development. This plan tackles both,” Trump said during a press conference.

Citing Trump’s stellar business acumen and record for making deals, officials claim the new hotel will be the first of many economic development projects the US government will pay for in Afghanistan. Other plans include a chain of Trump-themed resorts and casinos, as well as an annual beauty pageant the president is anticipated to judge.

“We are going to make Afghanistan great again,” said a Trump organization spokesman on condition of anonymity. “And we’re excited to help the people of Afghanistan and bring in millions off the huge influx of defense contractors and troops my dad, I mean, our president will be sending.”

According to market research conducted by the Department of Agriculture, there has been a steady rise in disposable income among a segment of consumers in Afghanistan who identify as ‘Taliban.’ Economic development experts at the US Agency for International Development (USAID) and Department of Defense (DOD) believe the war in Afghanistan can only be won by targeting this particular sub-set of consumers.

“The goal is to attract ‘Taliban’ consumers to the negotiating table by offering them irresistible discount travel deals to Trump-themed properties around the world,” said the Trump spokesman. “If that doesn’t work, US military advisors will simply bomb them into oblivion.”

The new strategy was widely hailed by Trump’s family and friends as a brilliant, refreshing new way to tackle what seems like an impossible task of bringing security and stability to a country long plagued by terrorism.

Afghan President Ashraf Ghani could not be reached for comment, as he was on vacation at his Mul-a-lago residence in southern Afghanistan.

Meet the Union Army private who bought a mustang at 46% interest

Sponsored by GovX, which offers deep military discounts on gear, apparel & events – so you can save your money for the important things, like Ripits and tattoos.

The following is an article by author BeardsOverFredericksburg from the January 1865 issue of Duffel Blog’s Civil War-era predecessor, The Knapsack Gazette.

TROY, N.Y. — Pvt. Seamus Achilles O’Connell may have only been in the Union Army for a month, but he is already proving himself as a soldier and infantryman.

O’Connell, the son of Irish immigrants, is the first man in his household to serve in the Union military. Despite being a fresh fish, he has made his family and country proud by not only enlisting with the 169th New York Volunteer Infantry, but also purchasing an 1857 mustang soon after mustering into the service.

Shortly after receiving his first bi-monthly pay of $13, O’Connell went to a saloon in nearby Brunswick and quickly became betrothed to Theresa Hayes, a fancy-girl who works there. Wanting to impress her further, he went to a used-horse dealer right outside camp and financed the acquisition of a tamed feral horse for $120, to be paid over 60 months at 46% interest.

“I want to surprise my love at her work and take her for a ride through the countryside,” O’Connell told the Knapsack Gazette outside his tent, referring to his fiancée. “I hope to wed her soon so I can move out of the diggings and into a house.”

“It doesn’t hurt that she’s saving up for a medical apprenticeship so she can become a surgeon.”

Unfortunately, O’Connell quickly found that he doesn’t earn enough greenbacks per month to afford both horse-feed and equine insurance, much less rent off-post. He is required to keep his uninsured ride stabled while he continues to live in the Union Army encampment outside Troy, New York.

These wishful notions have been further derailed by O’Connell’s platoon being ordered to join the rest of the 169th down in North Carolina.

“I thought I told that paleface O’Connell to manage his rocks better than that,” 1st Sgt. Thaddeus Archibald Paddington told reporters right after yelling at some buglers to get off his grass.

“In his financial state, he’ll be selling secrets to the Grey Backs for cash in no time. I’m pretty sure this is every first sergeant’s nightmare,” he added, although the interview was interrupted by O’Connell walking in to tell Paddington that “it burns when [he pees].”

At press time, O’Connell was seen getting wallpapered at a local tavern with his fellow soldiers. He says he intends to get a tattoo of his lover’s name before his unit travels south.

Editor’s Note: After this story was published, Pvt. O’Connell received a Dear John telegram from his fiancée while fighting at Fort Fisher. Meanwhile, the mustang broke its leg in a two-carriage collision while Ms. Hayes and area man Jodediah Grinder were drunkenly gallivanting around town. O’Connell is presently unaware his horse has been put down.

From director Andrew Rossi (Page One: Inside the New York Times, The First Monday in May) comes an electrifying portrait of writer and performer Okwui Okpokwasili and her acclaimed one-woman show, Bronx Gothic. Rooted in memories of her childhood, Okwui – who’s worked with conceptual artists like Ralph Lemon and Julie Taymor – fuses dance, song, drama and comedy to create a mesmerizing space in which audiences can engage with a story about two 12-year-old black girls coming of age in the 1980s. With intimate vérité access to Okwui and her audiences off the stage, Bronx Gothic allows for unparalleled insight into her creative process as well as the complex social issues embodied in it.

Love with a Chance of Drowning

Love with a Chance of Drowning by Torre DeRoche
Not for sale in
your country
Not Available
Love can make a person do crazy things . . .
A city girl with a morbid fear of deep water, Torre DeRoche is not someone you would ordinarily find adrift in the middle of the stormy Pacific aboard a leaky sailboat - total crew of two - struggling to keep an old boat, a new relationship and her floundering sanity afloat.
But when she meets Ivan, a handsome Argentinean man with a humble sailboat and a dream to set off exploring the world, Torre has to face a hard decision: watch the man she's in love with sail away forever, or head off on the watery journey with him. Suddenly the choice seems simple. She gives up her sophisticated city life, faces her fear of water (and tendency towards seasickness) and joins her lover on a year-long voyage across the Pacific.
Set against a backdrop of the world's most beautiful and remote destinations, Love with a Chance of Drowning is a sometimes hilarious, often moving and always brave memoir that proves there are some risks worth taking.
'A gripping romantic adventure - with laughs (and whales).' Maggie Alderson
'Hilarious ... recounts the adventure of a lifetime.' Vogue Australia
'My respect for Torre as a human being increased with each chapter. Torre is the living embodiment of my mantra, fear less, love more!' Huffington Post

 Waterproof turbo glider blueberry bliss - Traditional vibrators | Review by happyutahcouple

Waterproof turbo glider blueberry bliss - traditional vibrator by Cal Exotics - review by happyutahcouple

Unique shape packs a punch.

This is a fun toy to use for many different things: it works great as a vibrator for your clitoris, it feels great for penetration and for anal play, it works in the shower or in the tub, and it is very powerful. This toy is also fun to use for penetration (even if you don't turn on the vibrator since it can be quite loud) while you use a smaller, more discreet vibrator.
Fun design, smooth texture, very powerful.
The multi-speed dial isn't very sturdy and makes it hard to have any variation in speed.
Rating by reviewer:
useful review

This is a great vibrator for the price. This is great for penetration and stimulating inside or outside. With the shape at the end, this is also great for teasing the anus and for anal play. The unique design feels great as you put it in and pull it out. It is very smooth and very cool at first, and it gives a great sensation upon insertion. This toy is perfect for solo play or for couple foreplay, and it also works great on him while giving him oral -- or even solo for him.

    • Anal
    • Clitoris
    • G-spot

Material / Texture

This is a hard plastic, which is very smooth. It doesn't hold smells and is very easy to clean. This is just a very basic texture to most vibrators, but the smooth texture feels great when using it for penetration or for stimulating the clitoris or anus.
    • No odor
    • Smooth

Design / Shape / Size

The shape of the toy helps add to the stimulation when using it for penetration, and the round bump shape makes it very exciting. It is a very pretty blue color, and the toy fits great in your hand. The size is perfect to fit inside for penetration -- or to leave on your clitoris and to barely stick it inside.
    • Beginner

Functions / Performance / Controls

This vibrator is very powerful for its size and despite the fact that it doesn't take a lot of batteries. It is dial-based and takes two AA batteries. This vibrator was very loud and is hard to use if there are others around. We have also had trouble with the multi-speeds working, other than just "off" or "on." And, it was a little touchy at times and would just shut off during use if it wasn't on all the way. This works well in the shower or tub and is a great addition.
    • Easy to use
    • Not discreet at all
    • Powerful

Care and Maintenance

This toy is easy to care for and easy to store. There are not many moving parts, and it is small enough to hide away. Cleaning is as easy as running it under warm water.
    • Easy to clean
    • Easy to store

Personal comments

This toy works great by itself or with another small vibrator. Using this toy for penetration and a smaller vibrator for direct stimulation will drive you wild. Also, the small end of this is great for anal play and to either just insert slightly or fill up the further you push it in. The bumpy shape helps to hold it in place. This one can be pretty noisy at full speed, but it is very powerful. We would recommend this toy for beginners and for those who are looking for a fun shape and something waterproof.
Follow-up commentary
This toy is still very powerful, but the vibration motor has become a little loose and it is noisier than when I first purchased it. The unique shape is still very enjoyable and I use this toy quite often.

Wilson Recaps Ohio State Visit

By Miles Joseph on June 17, 2013 at 7:10 pm

After taking three corners in last year's recruiting class and already having one in the 2014 class, the Ohio State staff is probably going to take one more pure cornerback in this class. The most likely recruit to become the second and last corner in this class is Orlando (FL) University School cornerback Quincy Wilson. Wilson was in Columbus last weekend for the second time and came away more impressed with the Ohio State football program than after his first visit.

"Last summer was my first time there and I did the camp, so I didn't really get to see anything," Wilson said. "This time around I got to see the campus, meet some of the guys, and hangout with Ryan Shazier. Coach Coombs and I went over some schemes and it was great"

A lot of people think Wilson will end up as a member of this class and this visit definitely helped the Buckeyes' cause in landing the standout defensive back.

"The visit helped. I really got a feel for the coaches and the academics are great."

Some people think Wilson will end up playing safety at the college level, but the Ohio State coaching staff feels otherwise.

"They see me as a cornerback. I look just like the guys they have there and if I come into the program, I will develop."

If Wilson ultimately does decide to sign with the Buckeyes in February of 2014, Kerry Coombs will be his position coach. When asked if the "fiery" approach from Coombs' is something that would fit him, he had good things to say.

"Yeah it does. I want somebody that is going to get the best out of me."

Next up for Wilson are visits to USC and UCLA. While he hasn't sat down and decided where and when he'll be taking his official visits, he said it would be fair to say one of them will be to Ohio State.

Finally, Wilson said he could see himself playing for the Buckeyes, but had no thoughts of committing. He will likely make his college decision this fall after taking all five of his official visits.

Counter Strike: GO beta delayed to address early feedback

Originally planned for October, it looks like the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive closed beta has been delayed. According to an ESEA News interview with Valve's Chet Faliszek, the beta was pushed back after the company received feedback from the Counter-Strike experts who have already tested the game.

Faliszek noted that there are some fundamental issues that need to be resolved before the beta is made available to a wider audience. He didn't offer any updated release date for the beta, though he did reveal that the initial wave of the beta will include 10,000 players and will grow "in steps" as Valve tests "infrastructure and scalability."

Eventually, the beta will be made available to everyone. Faliszek added that there will be no set end date for the beta, saying "we have no mandate from anybody of when we have to ship this." Essentially, he said, the final version of the beta will be the game that Valve actually releases to the public. "It will be the release game that you're just playing," he said, "and then at some point we'll say, 'Okay, now we're going to officially release it.'"

SOE's Smedley responds to ProSiebenSat.1 concerns

MJ Guthrie

Earlier in the year when Sony Online Entertainment announced the move of European EverQuest II player accounts to ProSiebenSat.1, many players voiced concerns. Since then, the deal changed to include more games and then was delayed for EverQuest II.

Today, SOE President John Smedley took to Twitter to explain that the company was listening to and addressing fans' concerns. He stated:
"We've found a way to let existing players of our current games that are migrating over to Prosieben (EQ, EQ II, Planetside 2) keep their SOE accounts and stay with SOE. Down the road we may offer an option to move over to Prosieben. Just to be clear after these games launch on Prosieben's service new accounts will be created on their sites. However all US and EU players can still play together no matter which service they are on."
He continued by emphasizing that the partnership with ProSiebenSat.1 is still on, and that he feels that the company will provide better customer service and payment options to the EU community.

Morrison Street Capital Raises $200 Million for Mezzanine Debt Fund

SAN FRANCISCO--()--On April 30, 2017, Morrison Street Debt Opportunities Fund, L.P. (“MSDO”) held its final close, reaching its target with total equity commitments of $200 million. MSDO provides small-balance mezzanine capital, with investment balances generally ranging from $2 million to $10 million, to real estate market participants across a diversified set of property types in the top 100 MSAs nationwide.

MSDO attracted capital from both existing and new investors. Investors in the fund include pension plans, endowments, foundations, family offices and registered investment advisors, with investor interest stemming from both the United States and Europe. Of note, most of these have been investors in prior Morrison Street funds.

Thus far, MSDO has made 21 mezzanine investments that, in aggregate, represent approximately 66% of the fund’s total commitments.

Accord Capital Partners LLC, along with its affiliate Accord Europe Limited, served as exclusive global capital advisor to Morrison Street.

How does a vegan diet replace amino acids from meat, dairy, and eggs?

Expert Answers
belarafon eNotes educator| Certified Educator

A vegan diet prohibits all animal products, even eggs and milk, which many vegetarian diets allow as they are normal parts of animal and bird life. Because of this, a strict vegan diet may lack some parts of nutrition that are most efficiently consumed through meat or eggs; essential amino acids, which are protein, are most available through meat and less so through vegetables and fruits. Amino acids are essential for healing, growth, and general good health.

To provide a properly balanced amino acid intake, the vegan diet should contain at least 1.4 grams of protein for every kilogram of body weight; women should consume about ten grams less total than men. A healthy man weighing 68kg should consume at least 55 grams of protein daily. This protein can be found in many vegetables, but in lesser quantities than in eggs or meat; while meat and eggs are complete proteins, meaning that they contain all the essential amino acids, most vegetables contain incomplete proteins. However, by eating a wide variety of plants including nuts, fruits, beans, and vegetables, the body will store and regulate proper amino acid levels. One of the only plants that has a complete amino acid profile is the soybean; soybean-based foods are very healthy, as they contain protein and fiber in high quantities compared to other plants, as well as good fats.

Essentially, a varied diet with daily servings of soybean products should provide all the amino acids necessary for a healthy diet. Contrary to popular belief, there is little chance of protein starvation on vegan diets unless the diet is restricted to only a few types of food.

eli468 | Student

A (healthy) vegan diet provides the proper amount of amino acids needed for the body through complete proteins. As the person above stated, soy beans are one of the foods that provides a complete protein. This is why many "Fake Meat" products are made with soy and why tofu is associated most with vegans/vegetarians (tofu is made from soybeans).

There are vegans that are allergic to soy and still get all the essential amino acids needed through, once again, complete proteins. These are through combinations of food to create complimentary proteins. They do not have to be eaten together, just as long as these foods are eaten within the same day. Some complimentary protein combinations include:

  • Black beans and rice
  • Pasta and peas
  • Whole wheat bread and peanut butter
  • Bean soup and crackers
  • Roasted nuts, seeds and peanuts
  • Hummus (chickpeas and tahini)
  • Lentils and almonds

As long as there are enough complete or complimentary proteins eaten throughout the day, a vegan can get all the amino acids needed.

In The Great Gatsby, what reason does Myrtle give for marrying George Wilson?

Expert Answers
mwestwood eNotes educator| Certified Educator

In Chapter Two of The Great Gatsby, Nick accompanies Tom Buchanan through the Valley of Ashes where Tom arranges a rendez-vous with his mistress Myrtle Wilson, who is married to George Wilson, an ashen man, blonde and spiritless in contrast to the "perceptible vitality" of Myrtle.  Later, in the New York hotel room where Mrytle changes her dress and feigns social position and wealth, she overhears Nick ask if she does not like Mr. Wilson.  Mrytle unleashes a violent and obscene remark.

As the conversation continues, it becomes apparent that Mrytle is not the only one who puts on airs. Her sister Catherine speaks of going to Monte Carlo with twelve hundred dollars and how she almost married a "little kyke" who was "below" her. After this remark, Mrytle nods her head in agreement,

"At least you didn't marry him....Well, I married him...And that's the difference between your case and mine."

Catherine asks her why she married George Wilson:

"I married him because I thought he was a gentleman...I thought he knew something about breeding but he wasn't fit to lick my shoe."

After they were married, Mrytle learned that George had even borrowed the suit he wore in their wedding; the man that she had hoped had money had none. This episode in Fitzgerald's narrative exemplifies the perversion of the American Dream to one of the desire for materialism as a false value.

poetrymfa eNotes educator| Certified Educator

The reason that Myrtle Wilson married her husband George Wilson is quite simple: because she thought he was a "gentleman." This revelation is made in the second chapter of the book, when Myrtle drunkenly tells her guests at a hotel in New York that she believed George "knew something about breeding, but he wasn't fit to lick [her] shoe."

This, however, isn't the story that Catherine, Myrtle's sister, tells; she claims that Myrtle had been "crazy" about George. Regardless of the reason behind this coupling, it's clear that the reality of Myrtle and George's home life--and their socioeconomic status--has dissolved any affection Myrtle may have felt for the man. She sees George as beneath her, which conveniently allows her to justify her adulterous relationship with Tom Buchanan--a man who truly does have great wealth, status, and breeding (though few of the qualities that really matter).
