I would define intellectual elegance as a mind that is continually refining itself with education and knowledge. Intellectual elegance is the opposite of intellectual vulgarity.

This work is a modern interpretation of the afterlife depicted in Chinese mythology. Before Buddhism’s idea of reincarnation spread to China, ancient Chinese believed that souls of the deceased live on forever in a world similar to ours. It is believed that the living ones can still express their love and attentions to the dead ones, and even support their material life by burning joss papers. Paper crafts and bank notes are made into burn to erings to the deceased to ensure that the souls of the deceased has lots of good things in the afterlife. Joss paper crafts include houses, clothing, food, and cars, which will transform to real objects to be consumed by the deceased. My work illustrates an imagined afterlife full of objects transformed from the joss paper,mockingly depicts how human souls are still occupied by materialism and desires in their afterlife.

Linda P.B. Katehi,
I am a junior faculty member at UC Davis. I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of English, and I teach in the Program in Critical Theory and in Science & Technology Studies. I have a strong record of research, teaching, and service. I am currently...
OCCUPY.
Now let me say a few things about how I feel about what's been happening:
One: a majority of police these days are ridiculously self-righteous and two: allowing armed policeman to ATTACK PEACEFUL PROTESTORS is absolutely ridiculous and I have every right to be angry at anybody against the Occupy Movement.
The police force is acting exactly like the police force in Greece, but instead, the police force in the U.S. are attacking PEACEFUL protestors. Utter BS.
And really Congress? The best you could do was declare pizza a vegetable?
Over 200 millionaires signed a petition in support of exactly what the Occupy Movement is trying to achieve. WHERE ARE THE RESULTS?
Warren Buffett himself said that it was unfair that he, making millions per day, was being taxed 25% whilst his secretary who made $60,000 was being taxed 36%.
HOW IS THIS FAIR???
And you wonder why people in this country are becoming lazy, stupid and poor...why other countries know us as the "stupid Americans."
Despite the fact that we live in a capitalist society where the strong are meant to flourish, the issue is our economic stability, which is steadily making its way into an "M" formation rather than the "W", which is distinguishes a WELL-BALANCED economy of a DEVELOPED NATION. Millionaires might not be getting taxed that much now, but if this continues, they will pay for it later on Then our economy will look like this: ______
