•  Grab a Crayon the color of your furniture (if you don't think there is a color, try a 64 pack!)
•  Rub it onto the markings and make sure it completely covers it.
• Get a blow dryer, plug it up adnd let it dry the coloring.
• Wipe off excess with a dry towel.

How To Cover Scratches on Furniture

Kitten Mishaps

 

Reading Images

1) The illustrations are very vague. I don't think I would have enough information to remove the cat scratches in the most effective way possible. I would need specifics on what color to use to coat the marks, what kind of utensil to use- whether it be marker, crayon, pen or pencil. I also need to know if I cover these marks heavy and dark or lightly, how far or how close the dryer needs to be from the furniture, how long to be there with the dryer, what liquid substance I need to wipe off with the towel if any at all.  

 

2)  number one ( the cat scratching the furniture) is not a part of the process. Number one is the reason for this process.

 

The steps shown in the picture are:

• cat scratches the furniture
• grabs crayon
• put onto all cases of the markings
• use blow dryer
• wipe with towel

3) Cautions and or reminders to have would be:

• Don't use the wrong color
• Don't get too close to the  furniture with dryer
• Can't be used with all types of furniture material 

We Wear the Mask

Wearing The Mask

 

      When I have to appear or behave  as others expect me to, I feel that can either contain me to strict instructions, or allow me to know my boundaries. My outlook determines how I am expected to present myself.

 

      If I can't be myself, and allow my personality to shine like it normally would, I will feel very limited in my abilities and uncomfortable in my skin.   

 

      When I'm with a certain group, and I'm expected to act in a manor of maturity and integrity. For example being expected to present myself in a professional prospective is a situation where I would feel like I was given boundaries set for a higher standard rather than limited to a set demeaning requirements.

 

      I guess it all just simply depends on the situation and how I am expected to present myself.

 



The Stalin Epigram Research

Nadezhda Mandelstam

January 15, 1881 – December 27, 1938

 

In 1934, Mandelstam was arrested due to an epigram he wrote on Joseph Stalin. When he arrived to prison, he was tourtored and was of a very unique interest to Stalin. Mandelstam was supposed to have been shot to death, but something else happened that was in his favor. Mandelstam was sent to exile instead.

 

In exile at Cherdyn, Ural, with his wife, he wrote  poems about his preparedness to become a victim of an executor.

 

For the rattling glory of ages to come,
For the high tribe of men,
At the feast of the fathers I have forfeited my cup,
And my joy, and my honor as well.

A wolfhound-age leaps up on my back,
But I am not a wolf by blood.
Better stuff me inside the sleeve, like a hat,
Of the coat of Siberian steppes...

 

Let me no more look at the coward, at the mire,
At the bloody bones in the wheel,
Let the blue foxes blaze the whole night through
In their primordial beauty for me.

Lead me into the night, where the Yenisei flows
And the pine tree reaches the star,
Because I am not a wolf by blood
And only an equal will kill me.

 

Later on Mandelstam wrote for Natasha Shtempel, a friend of his, a poem in which he again gave women the role of mourning and preserving. Mandelstam was arrested on the charges of "counter-revolutionary" activities in May 1938 and sentenced to five years in a  camp. He confessed to writing a counter-revolutionary poem. The poem began as such:

 

 We live without sensing the country beneath us,

 At ten paces, our speech has no sound 

 And when there's the will to half-open our mouths

The Kremlin crag-dweller bars the way

...

  He died of starvation and madness in the Gulag Archipelago in Vtoraia rechka, near Vladivostok, on December 27, 1938. His body was taken to a grave. Mandelstam's widow held onto her husband's works and kept them alive against all odds. 

Civil Rights and Human Rights

Knowing the Difference

 

 

There is a big difference between civil rights and and human rights. Although they go hand in hand, many things have been done so that these rights could have been acquired. Civil rights were fought for through a war, while human rights were discussed over our constitution.    

Civil Rights

 

Civil rights are laws created by society. They are completely based on equality. For example, the right to vote or to receive fair treatment from the law. they protect you from discrimination and unjustifiable action by others, government or any organization.

 

Human Rights

 

    Human rights are the basic rights and freedoms in which all humans are entitled. These include the right to life and liberty, freedom of thought and expression, and equality before the law. These rights are given at birth, and cannot be taken away.

The Rise Of The Taliban

The Taliban are an Islamic extremist group who took control of Afghanistan's government.  The Taliban began as a force in Afghan politics in 1994 during a civil war between the northern and southern parts of Afghanistan. They gained an initial territorial reign in the southern city of Kandahar, and expanded their influence through a mixture of force, negotiation, and bribes. The Taliban captured capital Kabul in 1996 and took control of the national government.

Cities were ruled be a complete Islamic system. No one was allowed to own weapons, women weren’t allowed to work, if women left their home they had to be escorted by a man of their family, women had to wear head-to-toe veils, television was banned, and photos weren’t allowed to be displayed. Nail polish and lipstick was banned as well.  When the Taliban occupied the city of Herat and expelled thousands of girls from the schools, the US didn’t do a thing. At the time, the Clinton administration looked highly on the Taliban because they hoped to build oil pipelines through Afghanistan. In May of 2001, the US gave the Taliban $43 million, supposedly to combat the opium trade. Since September 11th, the US has changed their entire thoughts  and launched a war against the Taliban. Now the US supports the Northern Alliance instead of the Taliban.
