Poems Read at Inauguration Ceremonies for US Presidents

Sonnets Read at Inauguration Ceremonies for US Presidents Verse appears to be so regular a consideration in open function that you may be astonished to discover that it was almost 200 years after the absolute first Presidential promise of office was taken by George Washington before an artist was remembered for the official initiation procedures. There are a few nineteenth century sonnets verifiably connected with Presidential initiations in the files of the Library of Congress, however nor was really perused during the swearing-in service: â€Å"An Ode in Honor of the Inauguration of Buchanan Breckinridge, President and Vice President of the United States† by Col W. Emmons, imprinted on broadside in 1857.â€Å"An Inaugural Poem, Dedicated to Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois, and Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee,† from The Chronicle Junior, an initiation program that was really imprinted on a press in a cart during Lincoln’s debut march in 1865. The Introduction of Poetry in the Presidential Inauguration Robert Frost was the primary artist welcomed to be a piece of the official swearing-in of an American president when John F. Kennedy got down to business in 1961. Ice really composed another sonnet for the event, a reality that appears to be somewhat odd thinking about his expressed abhorrence for composing sonnets on commission. It was a not-horrendously great sonnet called â€Å"Dedication† that he planned as a prelude to the more established sonnet Kennedy had initially mentioned, however on Inauguration Day, conditions interceded †the glare of brilliant daylight off new day off, black out typescript and the breeze unsettling his pages and his white hair made it unthinkable for Frost to peruse the new sonnet, so he surrendered the endeavor and went legitimately into presenting Kennedy’s demand without the introduction. â€Å"The Gift Outright† plots the tale of American autonomy in its 16 lines, in a triumphant, devoted tone that infers the nineteenth cen tury convention of show predetermination and mastery of the mainland. Not surprisingly, Frost’s sonnet is focused on an objective less ordinary than it initially shows up. â€Å"The land was our own before we were the land’s,† yet we became Americans not by overcoming this spot, however by giving up to it. We ourselves, the individuals of America, are the endowment of the poem’s title, and â€Å"The deed of blessing was numerous deeds of war.† At Kennedy’s demand, Frost transformed single word in the last line of the sonnet, to fortify the conviction of its expectation for America’s future â€Å"Such as she might have been, for example, she would become† became â€Å"Such as she seemed to be, for example, she will become.† You can watch NBC News inclusion of the whole 1961 initiation service at Hulu.comâ if you’re ready to endure promotions embedded at 7-to 10-minute stretches in the hour-long video †Frost’s recitation is in the center, preceding Kennedy’s promise of office. The following president who remembered an artist for the procedures encompassing his introduction was Jimmy Carter in 1977, however the sonnet didn’t make it into the genuine swearing-in service. James Dickey read his sonnet â€Å"The Strength of Fields† at the Kennedy Center occasion after Carter’s initiation. It was an additional 16 years before verse entered again into the official introduction service. That was in 1993, when Maya Angelou composed and read â€Å"On the Pulse of Morning† for Bill Clinton’s first initiation, her perusing here on YouTube. Clinton likewise remembered an artist for his 1997 debut service †Miller Williams contributed â€Å"Of History and Hope† that year. The custom of presidential introduction sonnets appears to be currently to have settled in with Democratic presidents. Elizabeth Alexander was appointed as debut writer for Barack Obama’s first initiation in 2009. She composed â€Å"Praise Song for the Afternoon, Praise Song for Struggle† for the event, and her recitation is saved on YouTube. For Obama’s second initiation function in 2013, Richard Blancoâ was requested to submit three sonnets to the White House, which chose â€Å"One Today† for him to peruse following the President’s debut address. Blanco’s execution at the platform is likewise posted on YouTube.

1 Week of Meals for $8 How-Tos and Tricks

1 Week of Meals for $8 How-To’s and Tricks Collaborative Post by: Gloria Chyr 20, Bettina Ankhurst 18, Emanuel Perez 19, Caroline Mak 18 MIT has a food access problem. Mealplans are expensive, coming out to be $12-15 per meal. And in between classes and everything else, it is a challenging skill to go buy groceries, mealplan, and cook. Sometimes one just gets $8 Chipotle or Annas, but all too often it can also mean being stuck in lab, not eating.   And on top of all of that, financial challenges can make this exponentially harder. This semester the four of us were on CASE’s (Class Awareness Support and Equality) Food Insecurity Group creating ways to tackle it.    CASEs overall mission is to improve MITs community awareness of class disparities and knowledge of the social class system. Some of their programs have Facilitated crash space to help parents attend graduation Provided winter clothing Been public awareness campaigns about how class affects ones experience at MIT Explored diverse backgrounds facing difficulty in areas like housing stability, consistency of access to food, and education And a lot more The CASE food insecurity team has Provided food care packages over the summer and IAP Advocated for a low-cost student-run market Facilitated food pantry cooking cupboards in all dorms for short-term food insecurity Been a voice for the 10% of students that have lacked access to food in the past year Personally this past semester Ive used a program they helped encourage called Swipeshare, a mealswipe donation pool from extra guest passes that help cover students who are food insecure.   Through a no-questions-asked s^3 meeting, one is provided a number of swipes into dining halls. Even as someone who was never on mealplan and has figured out cooking, this was really stress-reducing. So this past IAP we wanted to see how much food we could make with a very low budget. Here are some of the tricks we used. Tl;dr Don’t get taken advantage of by stores designed to make you buy more than you came in to get. Make a list beforehand and save food so youre ready for rough days Pre-Shopping Strategies Carrying Bring a backpack and/or extra bags. Spare being charged $0.10/bag Get a Bike with a basket. I’ve carried ridiculous amounts of stuff between the basket, hanging stuff off handlebars, and my backpack Mealplanning Sample Meal List at the bottom Pick something for each meal of the week. It helps to be able to overlap the same ingredients between lunch and dinner, for example fried chicken and rice I can use for both meals. Or grilled cheese. So put what you’d like to eat for breakfast, and the ingredients underneath and see if you can duplicate ingredients across meals. Always have things that can be easily added to multiple recipes at multiple meals like onions, bread, and eggs. (bread=toast, sandwiches, etc) If you know you’re going to have a really busy week, stock up on ramen, frozen burritos, or hot pockets. I also just microwave potatoes or sweet potatoes for 10minutes and get a solid hot to-go meal out of that. And potatoes never go bad!!    #student What my actual list looks like: link to the google sheets here Making Grocery Lists Sample Essentials Groceries List at the bottom List out what you NEED before entering. It’s so easy to get lost and go in circles and be picking up and putting down things. Put approximate prices next to your needs and then the total budget at the top of this list. Make it your goal not to exceed it. If you’ve spare, then you can treat yourself to ice cream. Order the list in the order you’d come across it. Remember, supermarkets place candy by the cashier for a reason. If you can order your list in the order that you walk into it, this also saves time and wandering eyes. Buy things that don’t go bad fast. Meats are #1 at surprising you with their sadness. If you can’t cook it within the next two days you probably will end up throwing it away (learned from many sad tears). Things that are non-perishable are also fast and easy snacks like nuts and yogurt. Frozen Vegetables Are The Fucking Best. Microwave them, boil them, add them in your reheated fried rice, put them in your cup noodles, they’re just so easy and cheap! Make sure to use the freezer- it is your best friend. I do this all the time for chicken. It’ll even last a few months uncooked. Take it out the day before and have it thawed and ready. After I know what I need per recipe, I put them all in a Google Keep note Mealpacking Pack and freeze lunches in the freezer. Use parchment paper to wrap up the sandwiches and they’re good for a while, just grab them before class, find a microwave, and you’re set! Always have a tupperware on hand for when there’s a massive Bertucci’s pasta tray and you can take some home! Where to go MIT is officially a food desert, qualified as an area with no supermarket within 1 mile and a population of hundreds without a car. So you’re stuck with Hmart*, Whole Foods, and Harvest in Central ($$$) Trader Joes in Cambridgeport ($$) A big nice Star Market in Porter square ($-$$). Or Market Basket ($), in Union square(right off of Porter sq) also next to an Indian + Japanese Market called Reliable You might not have heard of Market Basket, but you may have heard of  another national chain, Wegmans, ranking #1 in the 2017 Consumer Reports for National Supermarkets. Market Basket is ranked #2. It is a massive, budget-friendly chain of 79 grocery supermarkets in the Northeast and one of the largest is right next door to Cambridge in Union Square, Somerville. They source locally for their own brand, which is partly why they’re able to keep prices so cheap. One month, I was able to spend only $50 on groceries there, and my flatmates consistently spend less than even that for their monthly budget. This was their receipt. *Hmart IS open until 11p which is kinda nice and of course has really great asian things Getting to Market Basket Hours: They’re open 7am-9pm every day, except Sunday where they’re open until 7pm. How to get there in order of lowest to highest carrying capacity Walking/Biking: (Free), Estimate 40min/20min Bus: ($4 roundtrip) The 85 bus from Kendall/MIT drops off right down the street from it, and is $1.70 ea way on your CharlieCard, same as your ID that you’d use to tap into the T, Estimate 15min on weekdays* Uber: ($6â€"10 roundrip) Simplest, but also not cheap, Estimate 10min, consider splitting one with friends *Google Maps will help Our Haul: Between Gloria and Bettina they spent only $16 on groceries for the week and split it in half. Glorias always cooked for herself and while Bettina is normally on mealplan, during IAP she wasnt. Over the week, they stretched their $8 into multiple meals for the week. That’s like the cost of a Clover Sandwich and a coffee in Kendall Square (no offense to Clover). And with that, this is what Gloria did with her groceries. 1 Week for $8: Gloria One week, I only had $8 to spend on food. I was able to make 12 meals and it lasted me the entire week, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Supplemented by MIT’s sheer amount of free food, networking luncheons, to dinners the President, I never went hungry. Breakfasts: Egg Spinach Sandwich w/sautéed onions and peppers (4 portions) Lunches Dinners: Chicken Fried Rice (2 portions) Chicken (sautéed in onions and peppers), Spinach, Rice Chicken Spinach Sandwich (3) Chicken w/ Peppers Onions, Black Beans, Rice (2) Black Beans, Caramelized Onions, Rice 1 Week for $8: Bettina I don’t tend to cook as much as Gloria does since I’m on the meal plan, my meals didn’t look as great, but I promise they tasted good! Outside of what is below, I used some spices and canola oil I already had, strawberry preserves I bought a few weeks prior, syrup, and a little bit of milk I got from a friend. The first meal I made was an egg sandwich â€" two pieces of toast and an egg fried in Canola oil. 1 serving White rice and chicken stir-fry. I made the stir-fry with chicken seasoned with salt,pepper and Adobo. I also added onions, peppers and spinach. I used one of the chicken breasts. 4 servings I made some scrambled eggs on toast with spinach. 2 servings Scrambled eggs and my first attempt at french toast. They came out pretty well and my friends on my floor liked them, too! Scrambled eggs were made with canola oil, salt, pepper and 1 egg. French toast was made with 2 eggs, milk and cinnamon (made 4 pieces of french toast). 2 servings A quick breakfast before running out of the dorm â€" 2 pieces of toast with strawberry preserves and a hard boiled egg. 1 serving Finally I made some rice and black beans. It took a while to cook the black beans, so I’d say if you’re just starting your cooking journey, maybe you’d want to start with canned beans. Along with the black beans, I used white rice, onions and seasoning. 4 servings So, in total, I was able to make about 14 servings of food for a bit over $8 worth of food. Sample List of Meal Recipes Breakfast Boiled Eggs: (Eggs) put eggs in already boiling water for 7 minutes and they’ll be perfectly soft-boiled. Save them in the fridge to avoid paying $4 for an egg at La-Verde’s Gloria’s Egg Spinach Sandwich: (Bread, Spinach, Eggs, Onions, Peppers) Toast two slices of bread, add some scrambled eggs and spinach. Wrap in parchment paper and freeze for future use Lunch Grilled Cheese Sandwich (Bread, cheese, butter) Cut a slice of cheese, put in sandwich and press in panini maker!

Cyber Bullying Free Essay Example, 1750 words

This has completely transformed the concept of bullying from its conventional approach of in-school to online bullying, more popularly known as cyber bullying. The adolescent aggression which was so far being witnessed in classrooms and playgrounds have now ventured into more private spheres via electronic communication (Hinduja and Patchin, 2008). The internet is fast becoming one of the most inevitable parts of our social lives, and in the process has redefined the meaning and scope of interpersonal communications. The digital citizens of today, who grew up with internet around them are more exposed to the ill effects of the same, than never before (Herring, 2008). The fact that internet has penetrated almost all aspects of our lives, is quite apparent and undeniable. The overwhelming presence of such a powerful tool, and its easy access to teens have increased the vulnerability of the victims of bullying to unprecedented levels. Furthermore, the trend of social networking sites and instant messaging as a part of our everyday lives, has opened up novel ways of communication, at the same time exposing individuals to varied forms of cyber bullying across all platforms. We will write a custom essay sample on Cyber Bullying or any topic specifically for you Only $17.96 $11.86/pageorder now In contemporary society, physical spaces are shrinking and the virtual space is expanding at a rapid rate, presenting newer avenues for the youth to hang out and socialize. The sheer amount of time spent by young people and adolescents on the internet, be it social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter or on blogs, virtual chat rooms or instant messaging, has provided them with an opportunity to form virtual identities, thus giving them immense power to dictate their terms and dominate others in the virtual spheres (Kowalski, Limber and Agatston, 2008 ). Cyber bullying includes flaming, harassment, cyber stalking, as well as denigration. Flaming refers to an activity whereby the perpetrators of the crime engage in abusive behavior towards the victims, by way of passing on rude, abusive or derogatory messages about a person and share them in an online group such as social networking sites, group chat rooms or blogs (Li, 2007). The key characteristic of "flaming" is that it occurs in virtual public settings, where the messages posted by the perpetrators are visible and accessible to everyone else (Kowalski, Limber and Agatston, 2008). The term harassment refers to repeated exchange of abusive messages through electronic means (Li, 2007). Unlike flaming harassment occurs in a private setting such as private email messages sent to the victims, or through one on one chat, although in some cases, it may occur in public settings as well.

Shylock should be Pitied or Condemed - 1663 Words

Shylock is a man more to be pitied then condemned. To what extent do you agree with this statement? Be sure to refer to details of the play in your response. In the historic play â€Å"The Merchant of Venice† written by William Shakespeare, Shylock is one of the main characters who I have great pity for. Therefore I agree with the above statement that Shylock should be more pitied than condemned. Throughout the play we see Shylock involved in many different incidences and it is unknown whether he is a victim or a villain in most cases. Shakespeare leads me to make a final conclusion by showing me different incidents that Shylock is involved in the play. Shakespeare helps me to gather this conclusion through the use of many different literary†¦show more content†¦Jessica is not the obedient daughter that Shylocks take her for. In Act two Scene three, Jessica is seen talking to Launcelot, secretly telling him that she plans to become a Christian like Lorenzo and will become Lorenzo’s wife. This is very disrespectful to me because it’s a horrible thing to go behind your fathe’rs back. I find this to be ve ry harsh because Shylock invested all that he had in her so wonder how he felt when he had found this out. Although her diction reveals that, she feels some type of guilt, â€Å"Alack, what heinous sin is it in me to be ashamed to be my father’s child†, Jessica rejects her father, his way of life, his religion and stole a great deal of his wealth. Once again let’s think about the pain that Shylock must have went through. In Act two Scene five we see Jessica giving a final goodbye to her father as she speaks to herself, â€Å"Farewell, and if my fortune be not crossed, I have a father, you a daughter lost†. Here Jessica sadly says these words of betrayal to the back of her father who had just gave her orders to close up the house.
