Karin Jurick is a self-taught artist based in Atlanta whose work is held in private collections across the United States. She was influenced by her mother, also an artist, and spent parts of her childhood living abroad. After her parents' unexpected deaths, she continued running their family picture framing shop and art gallery. Several years ago, she began seriously studying painting, observing the works of other artists. Her paintings depict ordinary people in candid moments and everyday settings. She enjoys painting a variety of subjects and aims for a realistic style with expressive brushwork and vivid colors.
The Thousand Islands are a chain of over 1,865 islands located where the Saint Lawrence River exits Lake Ontario, straddling the US-Canada border. The islands range significantly in size, from over 100 square kilometers to small islands with only one residence or uninhabited rock outcroppings. The area is popular for vacationing, camping, and boating and is considered the fresh water boating capital of the world.
ANFREL observed Taiwan's 2012 presidential and legislative elections and found them to be largely successful, with credible results reflecting the will of the Taiwanese people. However, some improvements were needed, such as strengthening key institutions to increase impartiality, reducing vote buying especially at local levels, enforcing campaign finance laws to create a more level playing field between parties, and encouraging a more independent media. ANFREL also saw a need for Taiwan to develop a culture of election observation to increase transparency.
台灣最美的愛河:
經百年來的變遷,愛河源頭只見灌溉渠道,不復見埤潭。自八卦寮而下,現今可尋得的愛河支流及圳道有六,分別是
A、愛河榮總支線
B、文藻語專的 D 支線
C、鼎新橋的 H 幹線
D、明誠路的 K 幹線
E、三民一號公園的寶珠溝
F、七賢國中前的二號運河。
這些支流名稱已非舊時名稱,而是市政府愛河工程圖上的新名稱。
