#385414-BQ* AK-47 The AK-47 (shortened from Russian: 1947 Avtomat Kalashnikova) is a gas-operated assault rifle that was used in many Eastern bloc nations during the Cold War. Compared with the auto-loading rifles used in World War II, the StG-44 aside, the AK-47 was generally more compact, with a shorter range, a smaller 7.62 × 39 mm cartridge, and was capable of selective fire. It is one of the first true assault rifles and remains the most widely used.

THE HOSPITAL SCENE is a must in any daytime soap opera. As early as 1956, soaps have used the hospital scene as a dramatic point in an otherwise long-winded storyline. Once a character falls in love, falls in love again, and is ready to confess, a catastrophic event lands our lead character in the hospital. Deaths on soap operas are usually short-lived. It usually doesn’t take too long for a character to return from the dead. If all else fails, an evil twin sibling arrives in town to shake things up even more.

The number of birds killed after being attracted to the lights of tall towers range from four to five million a year. switch-off.com

“men,” said the little prince, “set out on their way in express trains, but they do not know what they are looking for. Then they rush about, and get excited, and turn round and round…” And he added: “It is not worth the trouble…” The well that we had come to was not like the wells of the Sahara.The wells of the Sahara are mere holes dug in the sand.This one was like a well in a village. But there was no village here, and I thought I must be dreaming… “It is strange,” I said to the little prince. “Everything is ready for use: the pulley, the bucket, the rope…” He laughed, touched the rope, and set the pulley to working. And the pulley moaned, like an old weathervane which the wind has long since forgotten. “Do you hear?” said the little prince. “We have wakened the well, and it is singing…” I did not want him to tire himself with the rope. “Leave it to me,” I said. “It is too heavy for you.”

I hoisted the bucket slowly to the edge of the well and set it there—happy, tired as I was, over my achievement.The song of the pulley was still in my ears, and I could see the sunlight shimmer in the still trembling water. “I am thirsty for this water,” said the little prince. “Give me some of it to drink…” And I understood what he had been looking for. I raised the bucket to his lips. He drank, his eyes closed. It was as sweet as some special festival treat.This water was indeed a different thing from ordinary nourishment. Its sweetness was born of the walk under the stars, the song of the pulley, the effort of my arms. It was good for the heart, like a present. When I was a little boy, the lights of the Christmas tree, the music of the Midnight Mass, the tenderness of smiling faces, used to make up, so, the radiance of the gifts I received. “The men where you live,” said the little prince, “raise five thousand roses in the same garden—and they do not find in it what they are looking for.”

learn design as well as aspire to be a creative director? I give them an abstract concept like “sound” or “light” to brainstorm. With their chosen focus, they articulate a mission statement and springboard the information into graphic design through research, through exploration, by taking art direction from me, and by learning to direct themselves. Along with humor, passion, and some show-n-tell, I am always amazed by the professional and unique work.

creative director, target aas graphic design alumni 2005

I RECEIVED A business degree from the university of Washington. After school I worked in corporate special events before becoming a flight attendant. Having grown up overseas, I was facinated by the great masters of art and architecture. I wanted to formalize my degree in design and be part of the best school. My experience at Parsons was incredible. The instructors, enviroment and classmates taught me the nuances of type, the importance of a concept, and that true passion must infuse all you create. After school,

projects came knocking at my door through the career center and job fairs. I began working alongside Colette Malouf and the Chelsea Art Museum. Target saw my portfolio and contacted me. I began to work as a senior art director with one of the most innovative corporations in the design and advertising world. I have been involved in catalogs, advertisements, packaging and in store signage. The experience has been amazing and Parsons has been a huge part of my success.
