Claude Monet:One of the most fa-mous painters in the history of art and a leading figure in the Impressionist move-ment, whose works can be seen in mu-seums around the world, Oscar Claude Monet (some sourc-es say Claude Oscar) was born on Novem-ber 14, 1840, in Paris, France.In 1845, at the age of 5, Monet moved with his family to Le Havre, a port town in the Normandy region. He grew up there with his older brother, Leon. While he was reported-ly a decent student, Monet did not like being confined to a classroom. He was more interested in being outside. At an early age, Monet developed a love of drawing. He filled his schoolbooks with sketches of people, including caricatures of his teachers.In the communi-ty, Monet became well-known for his caricatures and for drawing many of the town’s residents. Af-ter meeting Eugene Boudin, a local land-scape artist, Monet started to explore the natural world in his work. Boudin intro-duced him to paint-ing outdoors, or plein air painting, which would later become the cornerstone of Monet’s work.In 1859, Monet decid-ed to move to Paris to pursue his art. There, he was strongly influ-

enced by the paint-ings of the Barbizon school and enrolled as a student at the Academie Suisse. During this time, Monet met fellow art-ist Camille Pissarro, who would become a close friend for many years. He also received advice and support from Johann Barthold Jongkind, a landscape painter who proved to be an important influence to the young artist.Monet liked to work outdoors and was sometimes accompa-nied by Renoir, Sisley and Bazille on these painting sojourns. Monet won accep-tance to the Salon of 1865, an annual jur-ied art show in Par-is. Though Monet’s works received some critical praise, he still struggled financially.The following year, Monet was selected again to participate in the Salon. This time, the show officials chose a landscape and a portrait Ca-mille (or also called Woman in Green), which featured his future wife, Camille Doncieux. She served as a muse for him, sitting for numerous paintings during her lifetime. After strug-gling for work, Mon-et and Camille soon caught a break: Lou-is-Joachim Guadibert became a patron of Monet’s work, which enabled the artist to continue his work and care for his fam-ily. Monet and Ca-mille married in June

1870 and the couple fled with their son to London, England. There, Monet met Paul Durand-Ruel, who became his first art dealer.Monet sought to cap-ture the essence of the natural world us-ing strong colors and bold, short brush-strokes; he and his contemporaries were turning away from the blended colors and evenness of clas-sical art. Monet also brought elements of industry into his landscapes, moving the form forward and making it more con-temporary. Monet began to exhibit with the Impressionists af-ter their first show in 1874, and continued into the 1880s.As he experienced in other points in his life, Monet struggled with depression in his later years. He wrote to one friend that “Age and cha-grin have worn me out. My life has been

nothing but a failure, and all that’s left for me to do is to de-stroy my paintings before I disappear.” Despite his feelings of despair, he contin-ued working on his paintings until his fi-nal days.Monet died on De-cember 5, 1926, at his home in Giverny. Monet once wrote, “My only merit lies in having painted di-rectly in front of na-ture, seeking to ren-der my impressions of the most fleeting effects.” Most art his-torians believe that Monet accomplished much more than this: He helped change the world of painting by shaking off the con-ventions of the past. By dissolving forms in his works, Monet opened the door for further abstraction in art, and he is cred-ited with influenc-ing such later artists as Jackson Pollack, Mark Rothko and Willem de Kooning.

Must-have winter chicken and dumplingsIngredients: 2 1/4 cups biscuit baking mix 2/3 cup milk 28 ounces of organic chicken broth

3 Cups shredded, cooked chickenPepper and Italian seasoning mix

Directions:1-In a medium bowl, stir together the biscuit mix and milk just until it pulls together. Set aside.

2-Pour the cans of chicken broth into a saucepan along with the chicken; bring to a boil.

3-Add pepper and Italian seasoning to taste, be gener-ous with the pepper, it will help chase away the cold!

4-Once the broth is at a steady boil, take a handful of biscuit dough and flatten it in your hand. Tear off 1 to 2 inch pieces and drop them into the boiling broth. Make sure they are fully immersed at least for a moment.

5-Once all of the dough is in the pot, carefully stir so that the newest dough clumps get covered by the broth. Cover, and simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Litter Box Tips:• Make sure the litter box is clean and con-tains fresh litter. Cats will often not use a box that has not been cleaned. Litter should be changed or scooped at least once a day, and the box should be washed out regularly.• Make sure that the litter box has plenty of litter. Litter a couple of inches deep en-courages a cat’s instinct to dig, and therefore makes her more likely to use the box.• Ensure that the litter box is in a convenient, unobstructed place for the cat. Some cats prefer that the box be in a discreet location, so you may need to try different locations to see which one your cat prefers. Once you establish a location, however, avoid changing it.• Choose a litter box design (open, enclosed, high sides, etc.) that your cat likes. This might be a “trial and error” process, so ob-serve your cat’s litter box habits to determine which type of box would suit her best. Pet stores sell a variety of litter box designs.• If you have multiple cats in your house-hold, make sure that you have more than one litter box. Ideally, have at least one litter box for each cat, or at least one box per floor of your home. Some experts recommend fol-lowing the “cat plus one” rule of having one litter box per cat, plus one extra.• For most kittens, using a litter box is an in-stinct. But for kittens having difficulty learn-ing how to use a box, use a training litter that contains attractants. These litters are avail-able at most pet shops. More details on how to litter-train kittens are available here.• To litter-train a cat that has previously been living outside, put outdoor elements such as dirt or sand in the box. Then, as the cat be-comes accustomed to the box, replace these with ordinary litter.


1984-Pyramid mystery unearthed: On this day, an international panel overseeing the restoration of the Great Pyramids in Egypt overcomes years of frustration when it abandons modern con-struction techniques in favor of the method em-ployed by the ancient Egyptians.Located at Giza outside Cairo, some of the oldest

manmade structures on earth were showing se-vere signs of decay by the early 1980s. Successful repair work began on the 4,600-year-old Sphinx in 1981, but restoration of the pyramids proved de-structive when water in modern cement caused adjacent limestone stones to split. On January 12, 1984, restorers stopped using mortar and adopt-ed the system of interlocking blocks practiced by the original pyramid builders. From thereon, the project proceeded smoothly.The ancient Egyptians built nearly 100 pyramids

over a millennium to serve as burial chambers for their royalty. They believed that the pyramids eased the monarchs’ passage into the afterlife, and the sites served as centers of religious activ-ity. During the Old Kingdom, a period of Egyp-tian history that lasted from the late 26th century B.C. to the mid-22nd century B.C., the Egyptians built their largest and most ambitious pyramids.The three enormous pyramids situated at Giza

outside of Cairo were built by King Khufu, his son, and his grandson in the Fourth Dynasty. The largest, known as the Great Pyramid, was built by Khufu and is the only one of the “Seven Wonders of the World” from antiquity that still survives. The Great Pyramid was built of approximately 2.3 million blocks of stone and stood nearly 50 stories high upon completion. Its base forms a nearly perfect and level square, with sides aligned to the four cardinal points of the compass.The Great Pyramid is composed primarily of

yellowish limestone blocks and was originally covered in an outer casing of smooth light-col-ored limestone. The interior burial chamber was built of huge blocks of granite. It is believed that construction of the pyramid took 20 years and in-volved over 20,000 workers, bakers, carpenters, and water carriers. The exact method in which this architectural masterpiece was built is not de-finitively known, but the leading theory is that the Egyptians employed an encircling embank-ment of sand, brick, and earth that was increased in height as the pyramid rose.In addition to Khufu’s mummy, interior rooms

of the pyramid held objects for the deceased to use in the afterlife. Many of these items were valuable, and tomb robbers had long ago robbed the pyramids of their treasures before modern ar-cheologists began studying the structures in the 17th century.King Khafre, the grandson of Khufu, built the

Great Sphinx, which was carved from a single block of limestone left over in a quarry used to build the pyramids. The Sphinx has the body of a recumbent lion and a human face meant to repre-sent Khafre. There are no known inner chambers in the structure.

JANUARY 2016 MOTHLY HOROSCOPE

Sagittarius Money is solid for you around the January 9 New Moon, but don’t overextend yourself.

Let friends be generous and shower you with treats. It will make them feel good and nobody’s budget should be strained. Daily life feels claustrophobic at the January 23 Full Moon. You know that the world is bigger than this and you want to do more, see more,

and hear more. Soak up as much life as you can and maybe make some new friends, too. January 27 is your lucky day, especially at work. Keep expectations low and be pleasantly

rewarded for a good deed done earlier.

CapricornJanuary 6 is a sweet day with the Moon conjoining Venus and then Saturn. A lot of beau-ty may be concealed in humble places. The January 9 New Moon gives you a powerful,

productive start to the year. Be calm, be sure of your own abilities, and don’t let anyone or anything discourage you. Extra good luck in your career is breaking your way. If it’s time to start something new or assume more responsibility, go for it. Everything is easy for you around the January 23 Full Moon. If you’ve been baffled or discouraged about something,

those feelings and attitudes will melt away.

AquariusDo your best and most important work behind the scenes when the January 9 New Moon

occurs. Being inconspicuous lets you do more of what you want with less interference. You’ll be visibly busy with your usual work, but what you do more privately will be more important and satisfying. The Moon conjoins Uranus on January 15. Take a different ap-proach and think radically. An adoring new love interest may appear under the January 23 Full Moon to impress on you how truly special you know you are deep down inside -

or your dedicated partner may radiate love to remind you.

Find out what businesses will be there. The more in-formation you can gather beforehand, the more successful the job fair is going to be for you. Find out what business-es are going to be at the job fair, and spend some time doing some re-search about them. What types of jobs do they have open? What kind of peo-ple are they looking for? What kinds of skills do these peo-ple need to have?

Develop some questions you’d like to ask em-ployers. Narrow down your list of businesses to in-clude those who have positions you are interested in, or are business-es you think you might like to work for. Then list some questions you would like to ask the company repre-sentative at the job

fair. Be sure your re-

sume contains your updated contact in-formation. You’ll want employers to be able to reach you if necessary. Double check that your address, phone number, and email address are current. You should get a new email from gmail.com or outlook.com if your current one is too silly or uses questionable words.

Proofread your resume at least twice. If you don’t already have one, it is a good idea to put a resume to-gether for a job fair. It gives employers a blueprint of your skills and some-thing tangible to remember you by. Be sure to proof-read your resume before the job fair to find any spell-ing or grammati-cal mistakes. Even

if you think there are no errors, have someone else look it over too.

Dress the part. As with a job in-terview, first im-pressions at a job fair are important. How you represent yourself sends an immediate mes-sage to employers about how serious you are in your job search. It isn’t always necessary to wear a suit to a job fair, unless you are looking for a job that would re-quire you to dress professionally at work. However, you should leave the jeans and t-shirts at home. Business Casual is usually the most appropriate at a job fair: nice slacks and a collared shirt for men and nice slacks or a skirt and a blouse for wom-en are appropriate. Make sure your clothes are clean

and pressed. Avoid wearing excessive jewelry or clothing that is too short or revealing. Do not drown yourself in perfume and be sure to brush your hair and teeth right before going into the fair.

Have a firm handshake and maintain eye con-tact. Let employers know how serious you are. Greet the employer with a firm handshake, but not too firm, and maintain eye contact throughout your conversation. Showing interest and good man-ners is important, regardless of the type of job you are looking for. Every employer appreci-ates someone who is dedicated, con-scientious, and at-tentive.
