This document summarizes the scenic design process for the production of Medea. The overall design concept is meant to feel natural and organic, using rounded shapes and neutral colors like brown, red, and orange to create a setting that seems calm but has some frightening elements. The space is very large to make the audience feel lost in the natural environment. Lighting will have an orange/yellow tint to match the fall colors outside. Design elements like fluid lines, repetition of familiar objects, and gradation of reds are used to smoothly transition the setting and reinforce the play's themes of death and dying through a unified, harmonious natural design.

Dolphins are highly intelligent mammals that are often hunted in Japan, where over 20,000 dolphins are slaughtered annually. Though the meat of a single dolphin can cost up to 50,000 yen, the brutal killing of these sentient creatures raises moral questions.

The second phase allows some previously restricted foods and the third phase focuses on maintenance after weight loss goals are met. Overall, the South Beach diet emphasizes eating lean proteins, vegetables, and "good" carbs and fats while limiting "bad" carbs like sugar and refined grains.

Creating learning environments that honor indigenous perspectives benefits both students and teachers.
This study aims to understand refugees' participation in their communities of settlement in Meheba refugee camp in Zambia. Meheba was selected as the study site due to its large population, long history of hosting refugees, and refugees living in protracted situations. The study uses a qualitative methodology to collect data from interviews and discussions with 19 refugee informants and 10 key informants. Preliminary findings show that participation is practiced differently by institutions in ways that often do not align with refugees' understanding. While organizations see participation as consultation, refugees anticipate having their voices heard in planning and implementation. This mismatch in understanding undermines trust in participatory spaces. The study concludes that standardized definitions and decentralized, grassroots-driven approaches are
