Ire Wolves' music is, to put it bluntly, heavy. Heavier than osmium, or the dirty kebab drunken you ate last Friday night. These Minnesotan lads like it one way: slow, angry, powerful and pure.

Welcome to the third installment of "One Question" — the world's laziest interview series. Today the focus is on comic books, one of the great wellsprings of inspiration for so many talented writers and illustrators of children's books.
Much thanks to our five guests below: Eric Velasquez, Bruce Coville, Matt McElligott, Charise Harper, and Alan Silberberg. Click on the "One Question" icon on the right sidebar, under "Categories," to journey through time and space to visit past editions.
As you know comic books played a huge part in life. Comic books basically taught me how to read. I found an interest in the characters and stories that I could not find in the reading material in elementary school. I was also fortunate to have a very smart mother that would direct me to the dictionary if I did not understand a particular word in any of the comics, this would later prove to be a key factor in my development. Today, I am so happy that schools are embracing comic books as legitimate reading material for students. This makes a big difference in the lives of reluctant readers.
Now, in terms of my work, as a result of my love of comics I wanted to become a cartoonist. I went to the High School of Art and Design to study cartooning. However, in my senior year I was introduced to painting and the rest is history. Because I still love comics there are many aspects of comic book art in my work today, mostly my use of panels and dramatic angles.
I was 11, and already an avid reader of comics, when Stan Lee unleashed the first issue of The Fantastic Four and launched what became a revolution in comics. That comic, and the cascade of newly created characters that soon followed, provided a real time example of how an art form (though calling comics an "art form" at that time would have generated howls of derisive laughter) could be reinvented and re-invigorated.
By the time I was in my mid-teens I was a devoted Marvel geek. In fact, my first published words were in Marvel letter columns. And, oh, how I wanted to write for them (much to my mother's alarm).
Oddly, despite my devotion to Marvel, the very first money I made for something I wrote was the princely sum of ten dollars for a story concept I sold to DC's The House of Mystery. Small change, yes . . . but as a first sale it helped give me confidence that I could be a writer.
Eventually I found my place writing prose for kids. But there is no doubt that comic books were a significant part of what put me on the path!
I can remember trading an action figure for my first stack of comics in second grade, then the excitement of bringing them home and spreading them out on the living room floor. They were a mix of titles, tattered and worn, and out of sequence. Some issues began in the middle of a larger story, and others ended with thrilling cliffhangers. The door was opened to a living, breathing world that was not quite fantasy, not quite reality, and I moved in and never really left.
At first glance, this panel by Jack Kirby may not seem particularly noteworthy. In fact, it might seem kind of juvenile. But dig a little deeper and you'll notice something really remarkable: this panel is showing us the past (the dialog), the present (WHAK), and the future (the recoil from the punch) all at the same time, and our brains don't explode. How does that work?
I'm still trying to figure this stuff out, and it informs everything I do as an illustrator. Good thing I made that trade in second grade.
Words and pictures together makes sense to my brain. My father is French, and when I was eight years old, my French grandmother started to live with us for six months of the year. My brother and I could understand French and speak a little, but this was a big change for us. Our house was instantly one hundred percent French speaking only. Not only that, but our parents wanted us to read and write in French too. So what did they do? They bought us French comic books — lots of them. This was huge! At that point, I personally owned maybe six books. My family did not have a lot of extra money, and now suddenly, we had stacks of Tintin and Asterix comic books. My brother and I struggled through the books, looking at the pictures, deciphering the words and understanding more and more on each subsequent read. These comic books changed my life. They gave me an understanding of French humor, enabled me to interact with my grandmother and imbued me with a love of comics. Using words and pictures together is my literary comfort food — my happy place.
Confession: I was an Archies comic book fan. When the whole Marvel vs DC argument comes up at polite dinner parties (I know geeky people!) I shrink back into the world of redheads and jugheads. I think reading stories about (unrealistic) high school where bullies and blondes and friendships were the norm gave me an idealized vision of life — that I liked to skewer in my writing. When the underground comics scene became (sort of) mainstream I was drawn to Ralph Bakshi and R.Crumb and other far out cartoonists and their styles. Jules Feifer's early work and later Lynda Barry's personal comics gave me a sense that telling my own stories visually was acceptable. In the Publishers Weekly review of Meet the Latkes, my cartooning style is described as "if I drew the book hopped up on chocolate gelt." And to me . . . that says it all!

The idea is to use your team's colors – orange and black for the World Champion Giants, for example – plus white and gray. For each game you knit a row (more if you're a Hall-of-Fame-caliber knitter) with colors determined by wins and losses. For a home win, knit an orange row; a home loss, white. On the road, use black for wins and gray for losses.
The Crackerjack craze was started by a Detroit Tigers fan named Stacey Simpson Duke, who writes the earthchicknits blog. She captured the Tigers' 2014 season in blue, gold, white and gray yarn and, after writing about the project, watched it explode this season through knitting clubs and yarn shops nationwide.
Conceptual knitting projects don't give specific dates so they are more like trend charts in yarn. Even a lousy baseball season can produce a handsome scarf if the wins and losses occur in a pleasing pattern – sort of the way acres of garbage in the Pacific look rather pretty when photographed from the space station.
I'd suggest that knitters who are already flopping with the Brewers, Athletics and Phillies this season dump Crackerjack in favor of other conceptual projects. A Clinton Popularity Scarf, pegged to Gallup's daily tracking poll, would be captivating. Californians would enjoy knitting a Daily Drought Scarf, with shades of green and brown representing the changes in their front lawns.
A delightfully fun project is the Kardashian Publicity Scarf, with every clan member assigned a color and a row added for each "ET" mention, two rows for a "People" cover, three rows for a spot in Jimmy Fallon's monologue – the possibilities are endless.
If I could knit I'd want to make a Good Wife Scarf. I'd add two blue rows every time Alicia's past/present/future law firm changed its name. There would be two maroon rows for each glass of wine, plus two white rows for each shot of tequila. Four black rows would be knitted every time Michael J. Fox leaves the show, and four yellow rows added when he returns.

The Vietnam War Home
Veterans Art Exhibit
In the decades since the end of the Vietnam War, the conflict continues to be discussed and debated as to its impact then and now. In order to showcase stories in Western New York and Southern Ontario, WNED | WBFO brings you "Our Vietnam Voices" - a digital-first series showcasing Vietnam veterans and others affected by the war in our region. Watch the series below.
We also encourage you to share your own story here or using the hashtag #VietnamStoriesPBS.
UB Studies the Effects of War
As more Vietnam veterans enter retirement, many struggle with physical and mental health issues as a result of their war experience. A student at the University at Buffalo has studied 117 Vietnam veterans and reports back to the local Vietnam Veterans of America chapter about post-traumatic stress disorder and post-traumatic growth.
This story shares the success of the Veterans Treatment Court program, which is an alternative to incarceration for veterans who find themselves in the criminal justice system. This program, created in Buffalo, NY, is now modeled across the country and attributes volunteer veteran mentors like local Vietnam veteran Dr. Patrick Welch, as a key part of its success. For Patrick, it's his way of giving back to his fellow veterans and honoring those who gave their lives in the Vietnam War.
The Trân Family
Thousands of Vietnamese refugees resettled in the United States as a result of the war. This story follows the courageous journey of the Trân family who fled Vietnam in 1980, and how they've built a successful life in Buffalo, NY.
A Canadian's Story
The role of Canada was one of support and peacekeeping rather than joining American forces in the fight against the North Vietnamese. However, some Canadians did want to fight – even if it wasn't in a Canadian uniform. Nearly 30,000 American men crossed the border into Canada to avoid the draft. Roughly the same number of Canadians crossed into the United States and signed up to serve. This story features the Vietnam experience of Dominic Bilotta, a Canadian citizen who proudly fought as a U.S. Marine during the war.
Vietnam Veterans of America - Chapter 77
The local Western New York chapter of Vietnam Veterans of America is recognized as the 6th largest in the nation with nearly 650 members. Their work includes helping veterans from all wars, increasing the awareness of veteran issues and giving back to the community. This story follows Chapter 77 as they live out their mission to ensure that one generation of veterans never abandons another.

Sgt. Dominic Bilotta from Niagara Falls, Ontario served in Vietnam in 1966 and 67 as a U. S. Marine. He proudly displays patches that identify him as a Canadian Vietnam veteran.
Sgt. Dominic Bilotta is one of nearly 30,000 Canadian citizens who crossed the border to serve in the U.S. military. He's pictured with memorabilia in his "Military Museum."
Dominic suffered several wounds at the hands of the North Vietnamese and is the recipient of two Purple Hearts.
Marilyn Bilotta had a crush on Dominic since she was 12. After the war, she made sure he wasn't going to get away again. They were married and now live in NF, NY.
Dominic was wounded several times while serving in Vietnam. This picture was captured on board a hospital ship as he healed before returning to combat.
Sgt. Dominic Bilotta, at the young age of 20, was in charge of an entire section that handled 60mm mortars, rocket launchers and machine guns.
Sgt. Dominic Bilotta was stationed in several places across South Vietnam, but spent much of his time near the DMZ. Here, he stops for a moment to pose for a picture to send home.
The Buffalo Veterans Treatment Court is a hybrid drug and mental health court that serves veterans struggling with addiction and/or mental illness.
Dr. Patrick Welch, a combat wounded disabled Marine Corps Vietnam veteran, continues his commitment to "never abandon another" by serving as a lead mentor in the Treatment Court.

In the first steps phase of blogging, a common conundrum people face is photography. It's just this empty abyss. And there's this wash of uncertainty. And with so many cameras and opinions over the internet how do you even know where to start? So I thought I'd give my insight on the beginnings of blogging photography.
I will admit, I've had it off relatively lucky. When I started my little blog I already had a camera, nothing special but a camera. And that's the camera I have to this day, this little camera has seen me through a lot and I have also been asked many times about my photography for my blog so I feel it necessary to show her in all her glory.
It brings out all the beautiful details of the bralette and jumper and gives it a nice bright feel. This was just shot in natural daylight – no fancy lighting included.
It's been slightly edited. But only the filter to give it a faded, autmny tone. But again it captures the details so well. And caught something very candid really well.
I set Camilla to a sunset setting. And because of the time of day I had it places on a wall (yup, no tripod needed) so it caught a really sharp and clean picture of something so alluring.
As for photography props. I'm still such a novice. How people get those beautiful flat-lays and elegant depth is beyond me. But I do have some props which add a little something to my pictures. Firstly, Edwardo my Echeveria. Who I actually bought because I wanted a plant but has become quite a regular in my photos. Plants just add this homely feel and make everything seem a bit brighter. I'd highly recommend getting a plant, fake or real, for your photos and just simply for your room!
Now onto the editing part. I honestly don't do much apart from crop it, maybe play around with the temperature and saturation to get the vibrancy I desire. And for that I'll either use PicMonkey or Pixlr. Those were the two programs I used to make the headers with until quite recently. Now I use Canva which provides many free and beautiful fonts and layouts to make your pictures look that bit more professional. I'd highly recommend playing around with all three of these because they're so simple, free and amazing.
I do also use my phone. Which is totally acceptable too. You can still get really good pictures just with your phone. It may just take a little more effort and time. Again, I'm lucky and have an Iphone 7 – which has an amazing camera anyway. But it was not always the case, I had a pretty aged Samsung until November and the photos weren't always great. But I made do. I wasn't confident enough to ever take my camera out for blog photos so I'd use my phone.
The things I'd advice you concentrate on are: lighting, angles, colour and details – it'll just extenuate the photo no matter the quality. For phone editing apps, I have experimented with many over the years and I've now got my favourites. VSCO Cam, Snapseed, Pixlr, Lightroom and Afterlight all I use for different things. But I won't say too much more as I want to do another post on specifically on phone photography and go into what detail I can. So keep your eyes peeled for that!
Really liked this post! I am still trying to get my head around the photography on my blog, especially creating good flat lays! Definitely going to get some fairy lights. Looking forward to the post about phone photography as I mostly use that when I'm out and about!
I am just starting to get more into photography. Loved this post.
Love your pics, especially the sunset! I also use my iPhone to take blog pics, especially for Instagram!
Loved this post, your photography has always been so amazing. We're still working on ours and still working out the settings on our own camera but like you I'm blessed to have a 7 and they take great pictures too when we can't be bothered to bring the big camera!
Love your blog pics! I currently take my photos on either my iphone or with my camera but I find taking pics with my iphone is easier.
Yeah, photography is the bane of my blogging existence 😀 I've a lovely Nikon that I have to learn to use properly. And I need a plant like yours ☺ Using Photoshop Elements is something I do, but I stick to the quick or guided edits.
Love your blog pics, they're just so clear. I'll be back to read more.
This was such a helpful post! I keep saying I need to get a real camera, but I think moving to an apartment with natural lighting would be more of a help, haha. I can't believe that first shy is just on top of your dresser! Mine is all covered with stuff 😅.
The phone is handy cause it's easier to carry but no substitute for an actual camera. I have a new Sony and I freaking love it.
VSCO is my favorite ever! I'm still only using my phone camera at this point but this was such a nice post to read. (: Keep it up!
I've always loved your photography! Beautiful camera! I've just invested in a camera and it's changed my blogging game tbh!
Blogging photography is something I've always wanted to improve! This is such a great post and I'm always torn between using my camera and my phone!
I just started my blog and I love it but taking cute blog photos are so hard!! I have a nice camera (no fancy lenses or anything but it's good) and I'm ok with it but my problem is lighting. How does everyone take such nice pictures during winter?!
I've become a bit obsessed with how others take blog photos and edit them. Lovely pics.
I'm thinking of investing in a camera for my blog, but I'm not skilled enough in photography to justify such a purchase! Will probably stick with my iPhone 7 Plus for now.
I get that feeling, it's a huge investment but will I know how to use it? haha! Iphone 7+ have amazing cameras though! I have friends who have ditched their cameras for their Iphone 7+!
I'm quite a novice when it comes to blogging photography in general, let alone props!
Great post and such helpful tips–thanks so much for sharing your advice! I'm working on improving my own photography skills and excited to see what I can come up with–take care!

Lamont tells Trump refugees are welcome in Connecticut
By Mark Pazniokas, CTMirror.org
Published 11:31 am EST, Thursday, December 12, 2019

Gov. Ned Lamont chided the administration of President Donald J. Trump on Wednesday in a letter affirming that Connecticut welcomes the resettlement of refugees as "a bedrock principle of the United States of America."
The letter sent to Secretary of State Michael Pompeo is a response to an unusual executive order Trump issued in September that curtails the ability of the State Department to place refugees in a community without the consent of state and local officials.
"I think, more to the point, President Trump was giving some states the option of opting out as far as I could see it," Lamont said, speaking to reporters after a climate change event where he also distanced himself from the president. "And again, like I talked about with the environment, I want Connecticut take the lead by example."
No governor or mayor has a right to deny any legal resident, including refugees who enter the U.S. legally after extensive vetting by the State Department, from settling in their state or city, and Trump's executive order is already being challenged in court.
"There is no basis for this. They have permanent legal status," said Ann O'Brien, the director of community engagement at Integrated Refugee & Immigrant Services, the New Haven-based resettlement agency known as IRIS. "There is no legal precedence for this."
Refugees represents a minuscule portion of the more than 35 million immigrants living legally in the U.S. Hardly a torrent before he took office, Trump has slowed their admission to a trickle, setting a ceiling of 18,000 in 2020 — the lowest in the history of the U.S. refugee program.
The ceiling was 45,000 in 2018 and 30,000 in 2019, according to the Congressional Research Service.
In Connecticut, IRIS helped resettle 530 refugees in 2016, 330 in 2017, 120 in 2018 and 269 in 2019, typically in partnership with a local church or other community institution, O'Brien said. They now live in 50 communities, ranging from the state's largest cities to the small rural communities in the state's Quiet Corner.
"It is literally a family here and there," O'Brien said.
O'Brien said the president's executive order places local officials in the middle of a debate over immigration, effectively challenging them to oppose or welcome their resettlement.
On Monday night, the Burleigh County Commission in Bismarck, N.D., debated whether to become the first local government in the U.S. to formally deny its consent to refugee resettlement. Instead, it voted 3-2 after a packed public hearing to affirm they are welcome.
O'Brien wondered if a presidential order that invites communities to refuse refugees will have the the opposite effect.
"We are very optimistic this actually is going to backfire on them," O'Brien said. "Every town is going to have to have some kind of conversation about this."
The mayors of Hartford, New Haven and West Hartford already have written the State Department consenting to resettlement in their communities, and IRIS welcomed Lamont joining them, O'Brien said.
"We are over the moon with the strength of Gov. Lamont's statements," she said.
In a formal statement released with his letter, Lamont cast the executive order as an element of a larger anti-immigrant campaign.
"Attacking immigrants and refugees does nothing to make our communities stronger, and in fact only achieves the exact opposite," he said. "Connecticut will continue welcoming those escaping persecution and upholding the long tradition of the United States as a place that treats every human being with dignity and respect."
Trump also signed an executive order in October barring the entry of immigrants who might be a financial burden to the health care system.
Trump has used costs to the U.S. as his rationale for limiting the admission of refugees, but a study by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services found in 2017 that refugees produced more for the U.S. economy than they consumed. The White House rejected the study, according to the New York Times.
Lamont, a Democrat nearing the end of his first year in office, has been working with the Trump administration on a plan to finance transportation infrastructure in Connecticut, and generally has carefully chosen when he criticizes the president. But he did so twice in one day Wednesday.
In addressing a meeting of the Governor's Council on Climate Change, Lamont said, "I think climate change is an existential threat. It's a real threat, and if they don't understand that in the White House, we understand it here in Connecticut."

Winter Classic Returns to Dallas Athletic Club for Ninth Consecutive Year
DALLAS – The Winter Classic returns to Dallas Athletic Club on Jan. 21-22 for the opening event of the 2017 season. The field has been one of the top-ranked LJT events on the schedule and is open to all players with an Alliance Partner Membership.
The 84-player field will be ranked by both Junior Golf Scoreboard and Golfweek. The event will give out numerous AJGA Performance Stars to all three divisions – Boys 15-18, Boys 14 & Under, and Girls 12-18. The top three finishers of the Boys 15-18 division will also receive an invitation to the Byron Nelson Junior Championship held in late June. The top three players in that division will also earn exempt status for the Texas State Junior Championship. The top three finishers of the Girls 12-18 division will earn an invitation to the Texas Girls' Invitational held in September.
Aside from hosting the previous eight LJT Winter Classics, Dallas Athletic Club's Blue Course, designed by Jack Nicklaus, hosted the 1963 PGA Championship. It also hosted the 1992 and 2003 Texas Golf Association's Texas Amateur Championship, the 1997 USGA Mid-Amateur Championship and the 2012 TGA Mid-Amateur Championship.
At last year's Winter Classic, Cedar Park's Thomas Critch won the Boys 15-18 Division with a 1-over overall score in two rounds. Austin's Thomas Bockholt III took home the hardware in the Boys 14 & Under Division with an overall score of 2-over 148. Dallas' Hailey Jones won the Girls 12-18 Division by one stroke.
The Winter Classic is the first of 11 "Open" events on the Legends Junior Tour this year. These events are open to anybody that has a membership with an Alliance Partner (NTPGA, STPGA, HGA). The Legends Junior Tour has added four new open events in the last three years, including two for 2017. The Alamo Shootout is the first of the two new events in 2017 and returns to San Antonio in early June.
Tee times will begin Saturday at 8:00 am off the No. 1 and No. 10 tees with the Final round taking place on Sunday Jan. 25. For more information on the Winter Classic or the Legends Junior Tour, click here.
About the Legends Junior Tour
The Legends Junior Tour is part of the Texas Junior Golf Alliance, a joint venture between the Texas Golf Association, Northern and Southern Texas PGA and Houston Golf Association. The Tour operates as part of the Texas Golf Association and its Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization. Since its inception in 2005, the Tour has provided more than $250,000 to promote junior golf initiatives and exposure to the game to those who might not otherwise have the opportunity across the state. The Legends Junior Tour is home to such prestigious events as the Byron Nelson Junior Championship, Texas Cup Invitational, Jackie Burke Cup and Texas State Junior Championship.

Composed by Philippe d'Aram
Produced by Lionel Wallmann
TWO ORPHAN VAMPIRES (Les Deux Orphelines Vampires) follows Henriette and Louise (Isabelle Teboul and Alexandra Pic), two blind girls of unknown origin, raised in an orphanage by two adoring nuns. Little do the nuns know, each night as the sun goes down, their "little angels" acquire night vision (they "see blue"), as well as an appetite for blood and teenage mischief.
Rollin's entire filmography, more or less, could be summarized as a poetical consideration of death, termination, and unreality, but coming to terms with his own pending death had a way of affecting how he regarded them (the film was undertaken just as he was diagnosed with kidney failure). Something previously conceptual and child-like, nostalgic and precious in Rollin's work becomes more concrete and dimensional, unflinching and adult. When they commit one violent transgression against their kindly benefactor, the scene's abrupt and awkward brutality recalls the best of Henri-Georges Clouzot.

This is adorable. Great job, Kathy!
I really like the workmanship with this swimsuit Kathy!!!
You look great in the suit! I love the high waist on this pattern-- not too much midriff showing. Modest yet stylish! Perfect for a fun day at the beach.
Hello Kathy. Great job on the suit!
I have the pattern too. How did you keep the fabric from puckering when you sewed the elastic the second time in between the cups on the outside of the top? I hope that makes sense to you.


Heritage breeds are specially raised and heralded for their intensely flavourful meat and fat. Kurobuta or "black hog" pork comes from the famed Berkshire pig. Conventional farm-raised pigs tend to lack the incredibly tasty fat that heritage breeds have maintained, keeping their meat juicy, tender and juicy. But if you're a true fan of pork, heritage is worth every succulent bite.
Deposit payable to secure order. This product is sold by final weight.
Pastured, free ranging true heritage breed pork, Berkshire pigs are a rare breed originating from the English county of Berkshire. Herds of the breed are still maintained in England by the Rare Breeds Survival Trust at Aldenham Country Park, Hertfordshire, and by the South of England Rare Breeds Centre in Kent. The Berkshire is listed as vulnerable; as of 2008, fewer than 300 breeding sows were known to exist. Modern Berkshire pigs are almost entirely black, sometimes with white points on the feet, nose, and tail. They are a medium to large breed of pig, short-legged with prick ears and a relatively short snout with an upturned nose. Berkshire pork, prized for juiciness, flavour and tenderness, is pink-hued and heavily marbled. Its high fat content makes it suitable for both long slow braises and high-temperature cooking.
Pigs graze, live in open paddocks with plenty of room, without feedlots and definitely no indoor confinement. Sows live their entire lives outdoors and give birth outside while being provided protection from the elements and predators. No fixed sheds or buildings for shelter; rather, movable eco straw bales are used by the pigs for protection from inclement weather.
On their homestead, Grapetree Farm, Berkshires are fully free to roam, wander, nest and forage throughout the 100 acres of rolling green pasture nestled between Toowoomba and Crow's Nest on the Great Dividing Range.
The Fawckners are fully PROOF certified. For food service, hospitality, wholesale and retailer product enquiries, please contact us directly: hello@handsourced.com.au.
The Fawckners raise a limited number of beautiful rare breed Berkshire pigs on their family farm "Grapetree Farm", situated in the beautiful Hampton region on the Great Dividing range. With over 100 acres of mud wallows, dirt bath, and lush pasture, these piggies have much to explore – and explore they do, given their totally free ranging existence.
The Fawckners manage every step from conception to consumption. Dedicated to a regenerative, sustainable approach to soil health and land management, Gordon, Jen and their 4 children employ a natural approach to farming, yielding a fully chemical free product. No sow stalls, no farrowing crates.
Emperors Pork are PROOF certified.


So when's the next meet up for those that couldn't make it?
Did you manage to figure out who left the coat?
Yes she going to get in touch when she is my way.
Did you book flight ?good luck speak soon thinking of you.


I actually grew up in Haiti but immigrated to the United States with my family when I was young. We moved to Marin county near the San Francisco area and I've been in northern California ever since.
I'm currently training for a marathon and so I spend a lot of time at the ARC. Even though it is undergoing construction at the moment I absolutely love that place. Everything is so up to date!
Netflix is my go to method to relax. Give me a good show and I will settle in. Right now, I'm re-watching the Grey's Anatomy episodes. It is such a guilty pleasure but I just cannot stop.
I'm actually part of a reading group that gets together about every quarter. It makes for a nice change of pace not having to read academic journals all the time. The last book I read was Reincarnation Blues by Michael Poore. I highly recommend it.
I am particularly interested in studying the effects of women in politics, as well as the intersection of gender and race.
I'm not quite there yet but I'm sure it will have something to do with women in politics.
Oftentimes women can be much more effective than their male counterparts, even given the institutional constraints that they face.
Diana Dwyre from Chico State. She's been my supporter and mentor from the start. I would not have even thought of grad school if not for her push.
I have to say David Mayhew's Electoral Connection. It's one of those books that has certainly withstood the test of time.
The work being done by Marisella Rodriguez from the Political Science department is really interesting. She studies the conditions under which sexual violence emerge in conflicts around the world. I think we desperately need more work that focuses on women in general, regardless of the contexts. I also enjoy the work being done by Sarah Anzia from UC Berkeley who focuses on state and local politics.
I like the fact that I can set my own schedule and work at my own pace. And the fact that I get to choose whatever topic I want to focus on. Where else does that happen?
Grad school is tough. There's no way around it. It's physically, emotionally, and mentally taxing. Having to overcome different hurdles thrown at you at certain gatekeeping points in the program is definitely challenging. And it's really not a matter of intelligence, just endurance.
I would probably still be working at a university in some sort of capacity helping students, especially diverse students, find their way.
What is your favorite city you have visited in the past year?
I am an avid traveler. I love different places, foods, and cultures. This past summer I got the chance to travel around South America and Eastern Europe. I have to say though that my favorite city to visit—hands down—was Budapest. I absolutely loved it. It was such an amazing experience and I would recommend it to anyone.

Accidents are sudden and can have fatal consequences if medical intervention is not made available immediately. Medical emergencies are also unexpected - they can vary from fits, fall injuries, severe and unstoppable bleeding and loss of consciousness to poisoning, breathing difficulties, sports injuries, head and spinal cord injuries, paediatric emergencies, industrial accidents, burns, injuries, cardiac arrest and trauma. Critical care provided within the 'golden hour' or the crucial time frame improves the chances of survival. At Reliance Hospital, we are prepared to manage such emergencies and strive for the best outcomes with all facilities under one roof.
The 24x7 Accident & Emergency Department at Reliance Hospital pledges to treat every human life with utmost care and promptness. Along with adequate physical facilities, equipment and stores for medicines and consumables, we have a highly trained staff to render immediate and appropriate lifesaving treatment. Further, our compassionate and experienced nurses deal with patients on an emotional level to provide the best possible results.
The hospital has an efficient and foolproof communication system within the departments and intensive care areas. Located on the ground floor, the Accident & Emergency Department is directly accessible from the main road for ambulances; the ramp assists the smooth transfer of patients on stretchers and wheelchairs. Well-marked and clearly visible signage avoids any wastage of time for those coming in with an emergency, day or night.
