At Smith College, I solved that they did not apply their art skills. They have to use Prosebox to work and produce gift packages. Their output is the Aesthetica Magazine. They may continue their work as Art Professors all over the world.

Mariana Abarca
Assistant Professor of Biological Sciences

Biography
Mariana Abarca is an insect ecologist studying plant-insect interactions from a global change perspective. Insects are one of the most diverse groups of living organisms both in terms of species richness and ecological function. Anthropogenic threats, such as habitat loss and degradation, climate change, pollution, pesticide use and altered plant communities have triggered severe insect population declines characterized not just by extinction of some species, but also by lowering abundance of common species. Research in the Abarca lab combines natural history observations, experimental manipulations both in the field and the laboratory, and implementation of ecological modeling techniques to study how herbivorous insects respond to seasonal alterations, thermal stress and changes in the community composition of their host plants and natural enemies.
Current research topics include:
Assessing the effects of thermal stress and novel host plants on the performance and seasonality of moths and butterflies.
Evaluating the evolutionary and ecological trade-offs that affect herbivore diet breadth (in collaboration with Dr. Gina Wimp, Georgetown University, Dr. Mayra Vidal, University of Massachusetts Boston, Dr. Shannon Murphy and Dhaval Vyas, University of Denver).
Monitoring of insect populations and the ecosystem services they provide in pollinator gardens and across urbanization gradients.

Architecture & Urbanism
Students may take studio courses in many media, from sculpture and drawing to video, photography and printmaking. We also offer interdisciplinary courses organized around conceptual questions and themes. Classes take place in studios with spaces for hand-setting type, using bandsaws, creating installations and designing computer graphics. All senior art majors have their own studio spaces.
In the Studio
Studio art at Smith gives students hands-on opportunities to delve into six exciting areas of concentration.
All graduating Art majors and minors will:
develop familiarity with original works of art and/or architecture and with research tools appropriate for the discipline, including print scholarship, online databases, and various reference materials;
communicate their ideas effectively in written, oral and (as appropriate) material form, including public presentations that rely upon the display of visual images or artwork;
engage a range of disciplines in their work, in the spirit of a liberal arts education.

Drugs, Brains, and Behavior: The Science of Addiction
Drug Misuse and Addiction
What is drug addiction?
Addiction is defined as a chronic, relapsing disorder characterized by compulsive drug seeking and use despite adverse consequences.† It is considered a brain disorder, because it involves functional changes to brain circuits involved in reward, stress, and self-control. Those changes may last a long time after a person has stopped taking drugs.11
Addiction is a lot like other diseases, such as heart disease. Both disrupt the normal, healthy functioning of an organ in the body, both have serious harmful effects, and both are, in many cases, preventable and treatable. If left untreated, they can last a lifetime and may lead to death.
crucifixion, an important method of capital punishment particularly among the Persians, Seleucids, Carthaginians, and Romans from about the 6th century BCE to the 4th century CE. Constantine the Great, the first Christian emperor, abolished it in the Roman Empire in the early 4th century CE out of veneration for Jesus Christ, the most famous victim of crucifixion.
Punishment
There were various methods of performing the execution. Usually, the condemned man, after being whipped, or “scourged,” dragged the crossbeam of his cross to the place of punishment, where the upright shaft was already fixed in the ground. Stripped of his clothing either then or earlier at his scourging, he was bound fast with outstretched arms to the crossbeam or nailed firmly to it through the wrists. The crossbeam was then raised high against the upright shaft and made fast to it about 9 to 12 feet (approximately 3 metres) from the ground. Next, the feet were tightly bound or nailed to the upright shaft. A ledge inserted about halfway up the upright shaft gave some support to the body; evidence for a similar ledge for the feet is rare and late. Over the criminal’s head was placed a notice stating his name and his crime. Death ultimately occurred through a combination of constrained blood circulation, organ failure, and asphyxiation as the body strained under its own weight. It could be hastened by shattering the legs (crurifragium) with an iron club, which prevented them from supporting the body’s weight and made inhalation more difficult, accelerating both asphyxiation and shock.
Crucifixion was most frequently used to punish political or religious agitators, pirates, slaves, or those who had no civil rights. In 519 BCE Darius I, king of Persia, crucified 3,000 political opponents in Babylon; in 88 BCE Alexander Jannaeus, the Judaean king and high priest, crucified 800 Pharisaic opponents; and about 32 CE Pontius Pilate had Jesus of Nazareth put to death by crucifixion.
Crucifixion of Jesus
The account of Jesus Christ’s crucifixion in the Gospels begins with his scourging. The Roman soldiers then mocked him as the “King of the Jews” by clothing him in a purple robe and a crown of thorns and led him slowly to Mount Calvary, or Golgotha; one Simon of Cyrene was allowed to aid him in carrying the cross. At the place of execution he was stripped and then nailed to the cross, at least nailed by his hands, and above him at the top of the cross was placed the condemnatory inscription stating his crime of professing to be King of the Jews. (The Gospels differ slightly in the wording but agree that the inscription was in “Hebrew,” or Aramaic, as well as Latin and Greek.) On the cross Jesus hung in agony. The soldiers divided his garments and cast lots for his seamless robe. Various onlookers taunted him. Crucified on either side of Jesus were two convicted thieves, whom the soldiers dispatched at eventide by breaking their legs. The soldiers found Jesus already dead, but, to be certain, one of them drove a spear into his side, from which poured blood and water. He was taken down before sunset (in deference to Jewish custom) and buried in a rock-hewn tomb.

Abstract:
School dropout is a major problem as it has negative impacts that result in high social costs. A learner can be called a dropout when the learner fails to enroll in school despite having reached the mandatory school age. This paper aims to identify the root causes of school dropouts in the Philippines, specifically in all regions for the years 2008 and 2013. The secondary data on the proportion of population 6 to 24 years old who are not attending school from the website of the Philippine Statistics Authority were used. The data were analyzed using R version 4.2.1. This paper employed descriptive statistics, namely frequency and percentage to identify the root causes of dropping out in the Philippines when grouped according to region and year. Percentage change (increase and decrease) were explored to track changes in the causes of school dropouts. The findings indicated that the high cost of education, and student employment or when the student is seeking employment were the root causes of dropouts in the Philippines for the years 2008 and 2013, respectively. Based on the findings, it is recommended that the Philippine government, through the Department of Education, should prioritize programs that will address the root causes of the school dropouts with the goal of decreasing the dropout rate in general.

Loss of interest or pleasure in activities once enjoyed
Changes in appetite — weight loss or gain unrelated to dieting
Trouble sleeping or sleeping too much
Loss of energy or increased fatigue
Increase in purposeless physical activity (e.g., inability to sit still, pacing, handwringing) or slowed movements or speech (these actions must be severe enough to be observable by others)
Feeling worthless or guilty
Difficulty thinking, concentrating or making decisions
Thoughts of death or suicide
Symptoms must last at least two weeks and must represent a change in your previous level of functioning for a diagnosis of depression.
Bipolar disorder (formerly called manic-depressive illness or manic depression) is a mental illness that causes unusual shifts in a person’s mood, energy, activity levels, and concentration. These shifts can make it difficult to carry out day-to-day tasks.
There are three types of bipolar disorder. All three types involve clear changes in mood, energy, and activity levels. These moods range from periods of extremely “up,” elated, irritable, or energized behavior (known as manic episodes) to very “down,” sad, indifferent, or hopeless periods (known as depressive episodes). Less severe manic periods are known as hypomanic episodes.

sasabihin talaga nila sa atin habangbuhay, na puro fake talaga tayo (kahit nga mabibigay talaga natin yung kailangan na tulong at kalinga talaga nila. sadya kasing caring lang na klaseng tao lahat tayo talaga. hindi tayo isang seryoso na nilalang talaga kasi sa kanila. madali makaramdam ng kapwa talaga tayong lahat sa folkd. kaya tayo ay napaka-usisera sobra. oo, chismis ay functions natin talaga sa bayan.)
oo, talagang habangbuhay talaga nila tayong sasabihan na isang fake na tao...pero kung mag-ibang anyo talaga sila ay talagang naka-tatlo na nga sila. hinto na. tama na.
tingnan mo nga kung crush nilang dalawa talaga si kiko.
may sasabihin kami, na sinakay nila sa isang elektrik na isuzu si kiko. may findings kami.
dapat matindi ka talaga maghugas ng kamay. kaya alam natin talaga ang ugaling kalinga ng bayan, ay dumadaan lang sila sa mga bahay natin talaga. ganyan lahat ng tao talaga.
maglagay ka talaga ng facemask or "bodycon" gamitin mo lang yung gaia online talaga. gumawa ka nga ng profile: pampa-ibang tao talaga yung gaia online.
(hindi alam nung mga kalinga yung bodycon na magic. hanggang sa waepek lahat ng tao sa labas, hindi nila nalaman kung ano daw, tapos meron daw non. tapos para saan daw? yun nga eh.)
wag mo daw pala pinagtatabi talaga yung magkakaiba ng humor personality type: ganito, kung melancholic ka, puro melancholic talaga ang katabi mo. tapos kung sanguine, puro sanguine talaga. kung choleric, puro choleric.
zebra talaga si jezia. correct talaga na tao siya. siguro sumobra sa sarili lang si jezia hanggang hindi lang niya maawaan sa ngayon sina sherri at hao.
may isang tao talaga sa mundo na humihingi talaga. lahat ng tao ay wala talagang mahingi sa iba.
may woods nga talaga ang tao. pero alam mong may woods talaga sina sherri. tapos si jezia ay taong hindi woods talaga.
si jezia ay taong hindi woods nga. edi ganito na lang yon. mag-isang phlegmatic na tao pala si jezia. ehhh bakit niya napili maging phlegmatic? phlegmatic ay isang taong passive-voluntary nga. edi unique si jezia sa sarili niya...kaya lang, kung ang buhay ay gusto ganito: magkatabi ang mga melancholic na tao....ang buhay ay may isang mundo nga talaga. magkaisang mundo ang gusto talaga ni kiko.
sa mga problema (na galing sa hepa na tao) na wala o merong DS talaga, hindi naman mabuti maging mag-isang phlegmatic nga. so may sungki talaga si jezia. eh ganito na lang yon (masyado mag-research si diana talaga) eh dapat naiba na lang si jezia sa kahit anong bagay talaga bakit sa temperament lang siya naiba?
uhhhh sinabi pala ni kiko na walang woods talaga si jezia.....dahil maro-roll talaga niya yung labas ng bahay pala. para lang may kaibigan siya na medyo sanguine gaya nina margarita, jhayle, and amy baybay.
