Chicken Waste as a Nutrient Source for Red Potatoes (Solanum tuberosum) in a Hydroponic System
Get PDFThe purpose of this study was to determine the viability of growing potatoes hydroponically with chicken waste as an alternative, more sustainable nutrient source in substitute of fish waste in an aquaponics system. Hydroponics is a growing form of sustainable agriculture which utilizes a water-based method to deliver nutrients to plants. Hydroponics is a preferable alternative as it uses 90% less water than traditional agriculture, and does not contribute to common agricultural issues such as land degradation. A popular form of hydroponics is aquaponics, which combines hydroponic technology with aquaculture. The fish waste in this system is the sole source of nutrients for the plants. The cost and difficulty of maintaining the fish in this system can be an obstacle to farming communities, however. A proposed alternative to the use of aquaculture is the use of chicken waste as a nutrient source. Chicken waste is a much cheaper and more accessible resource for less developed farming communities. It is also not as high maintenance as aquaculture, and contains a high content of essential nutrients such as nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus. Potatoes are the crop of choice for this study due to their relatively high nutrient content, making it a popular staple crop in less developed countries. If chicken waste proves to be an effective nutrient source for staple crops such as potatoes in a hydroponic system, it may be a viable option for less developed farming communities who are in need of sustainable alternatives to traditional farming practices
Antigone Through The Ages
No full textPicture this. It is December 2019. I ran into my faculty advisor, and anxiously ask if my senior project proposal had been approved by the department. He absentmindedly affirmed that I will be able to direct a children’s musical as proposed. This casual confirmation from my advisor sent me into a tailspin of joy. I quickly decided to direct A Year With Frog and Toad, a musical adapted from the beloved children’s book series. I imagined the dancing birds, adorable puppets, and jump roping monsters that I had to look forward to when directing this little drop of sunshine. I pictured being together with many of my best friends every night for rehearsal. A good final hurrah with my theatre family before graduation and heading out into the real world

Reclaiming Malcolm x: Epideictic Discourse and African-American Rhetoric
No full textThis essay examines the epideictic rhetoric of Nuri Muhammad, a Nation of Islam student minister, at a Malcolm X Festival in 2018. Nuri’s rhetorical performance demonstrates how he uses the memory of Malcolm X to create a collective epideictic experience with his audience. Using Malcolm X’s “The Ballot or the Bullet” as a foundation, Nuri praises virtues and condemns vices that support the community’s conception and preservation of Malcolm X, positioning the audience as judge rather than spectator. This performance illustrates how everyday cultural practices may deviate from our understanding of rhetoric while augmenting our research practices and goals

2021 Virtual Humanities Symposium: A Conversation on Freedom
Get PDFKeynote Lecture: Troubling the Narratives of a Democratic Nation: Whose Stories Are These? Jacqueline Jones Royster
Date: Thursday, March 4th, 2021
In 2020, the Center for Public Humanities had the remarkable opportunity to join “The Commonwealth Monument project,” a coalition of citizens, organizations, educators, and legislators dedicated to establishing a new bronze monument on the Pennsylvania State Capitol that honors Harrisburg’s rich African American history and pays tribute to the U.S. Constitution’s 15th and 19th amendments, which secured the vote for African Americans and for women. The dedication of this new monument, “A Gathering at the Crossroads” (pictured above) took place against the backdrop of a global pandemic and protests that call us to recon with our nation’s legacies of slavery. As this season of pandemic and protests continues, we are keenly aware, that despite the enfranchisements we gained 100 years ago, “freedom” continues to be one of the most cherished, contested, and elusive ideals of the American imagination. We are pleased to offer the Messiah University community and wider public the opportunity to engage in a robust, interdisciplinary conversation on freedom
