The individual as a whole: Leroux's use of opposite and the uncanny in The Phantom of the Opera
No full textDrawing primarily from the work of Sigmund Freud’s “The Uncanny,” this research suggests that Gaston Leroux’s Phantom of the Opera utilizes defamilarization to draw attention to the paradoxical nature of the human spirit, taking this oft overlooked text and placing it within a worthy discussion of Leroux’s contribution as a psychological writer. A major premise of this paper highlights Leroux’s use of opposites to create a broader picture of the nature of humanity, something he achieves through his depiction of the Paris Opera House and in his characters of Christine and Erik.

The MIDAS touch to save a dwindling community: Microenterprise individual development account services
No full textMIDAS(Microenterprise Individual Development Account Services) is one Community Economic Development project in a comprehensive community plan to address employment, outmigration, and poverty in Warren County, Georgia. The population, especially ages 20 to 44 years old, has been on a steady decline, losing 12.52% of the population between 1970 and 2010 (U. S. Census Bureau, 2011), with a current population of 5,834. Young adults leave to obtain post-secondary education and employment, leaving behind an aging community and decreasing pool of educated potential workers that could attract businesses. This outmigration negatively impacts the economy of this community suffering 17% unemployment and over 27% poverty. CSRA Economic Opportunity Authority, Inc. and other partners have implemented MIDAS to provide Microenterprise and financial education, mentoring, and a 1 savings match for eight low-income high school students participating in the Young Entrepreneurs Academy at Warren County High School. Their savings and match will be used to launch or expand a business in Warren County, helping them remain a resident while earning an income and developing a career. MIDAS is one project in a comprehensive plan to support entrepreneurship, attract business and industry, and provide employment opportunities for community residents. (Author abstract)DuBose, S. E.

The Virginia Avenue revitalization project
No full textThis project aims to revitalize the Virginia Avenue Corridor, a former central business district located in Cumberland, Maryland. The area is characterized by blighted neighborhoods, abandoned property, criminal activity, and community disinvestment. In order to transform the community to a safe, vibrant neighborhood that provides a mix of housing, business, and employment opportunities that facilitates civic engagement and promotes community pride; the project focuses on improving the physical conditions of the community, increasing community engagement, and decreasing crime. The key outputs and activities identified for the project were the acquisition, demolition, and renovation of property; community leadership training; beautification projects; community meetings with local elected officials and representatives from the police department; and the establishment of a neighborhood crime watch. The planned activities were designed to not only achieve the project’s short-term outcomes but also to complement and reinforce each other, increasing the likelihood that community change would occur. While the project is still ongoing, the progress towards the three short-term outcomes-improved community conditions, increased community engagement, and decreased crime, shows that the project is on track to achieving the intermediate and long-term outcomes. This thesis presents information on the approach employed to revitalize the former central business district, engage the community, and outlines the lessons learned.

No full textPhotography, Nature, Landscape, Portrait, Color PhotographyDiamond in the Rough is one photograph from Jesse Burke's personal work called Wild and Precious. The series brings together treasures from multiple road trips by Jesse Burke when he traveled with his daughter to explore the natural world. He used the adventures to encourage a connection between his child and nature and to give her an education that he considered essential and one that develops and appreciation, respect for conservation and growing self-confidence. On the road, they talked about the vastness of nature and tried to get more in touch with the earth. Together they documented the routes they drove, the landscapes they discovered, the creatures they encountered and even the motels where they slept. Wild and precious reveals the fragile complicated relationship that humans share with nature and attempts to strengthen those bonds.
Each image title in the series is named after a song that Johnny Cash wrote or recorded. His music and lyrics were a big part of their collective experience when on the road.
