Great Mosque of Cordoba -Vs- Villa at Boscoreale Pompeii

The first artwork is titled “Great Mosque of Cordoba” which is actually a picture. It is located in Córdoba, Spain, and was Built upon a Visigothic site, which was probably the site of an earlier Roman temple due to its design bearing heavy resemblance to that of Roman buildings, and the use of the remains of destroyed Roman buildings. Thanks to carbon dating, it is known that the Great Mosque of Cordoba was built between 784 and 786 AD; historically during the reign of 'Abd al-Rahman I, who escaped from Syria to the Iberian Peninsula after his family was massacred by a rival political dynasty.¹

The incredible vista of columns and arcades² that stretch into the dim recesses of the prayer hall creates a space that is often dubbed as a “forest of stone.” The myriad uniform columns resemble the bodies of worshippers who unite in common prayer, while the colorful hall filled with reds and yells create an eye-yielding pattern. Almost immediately, your eye focuses on to the top of the building, if not the dark void in the center of the picture. The flow of the image is much like walking down a deep, dark hallway.

What is different of this picture in comparison to the painting of the villa is that the pillars utilize a decorative feature upon the column, while the painting utilizes design effects though the usage of paint and art, which does not have any structural significance. Also, because it is painted, it is does not appear to be a realistic representation of a three dimensional object, while the picture of the Mosque is.

The second artwork is a Roman wall painting. Thanks to carbon dating, it is thought to have been created at around 62 AD. The painting is a representation of the Villa at Boscoreal, Pompeii, historically a private luxurious retreat of a wealthy Roman. This painting is stylized by textural contrasts, going from rough on the outside, then smoother towards the center. There is a mask in the molding above the window of the painting, which indicates the influence of stage set upon a scene theatrical performance. As well as the frame that surrounds the painting, there are also window moldings, columns, and pilasters painted on to frame the vistas of distant cities and landscapes.

Vanishing points within both the painting of the villa and the picture of the mosque are critical points in each of the art pieces. Without their distinctive vanishing points, both of the pieces would have had a “flat” look with no depth. In the painting of the villia, the artist used a “herring horse” perspective though the use of orthogorals (lines of perspective projection) that do not convert at one vanishing point; otherwise stated as multiple vanishing points. On the other hand, the picture of the mosque utilizes only one vanishing point. The picture makes good use of a vanishing point as a focus point for your eye to “reproduce” what else may have been beyond the visible plane of the picture.

AP United States History 1B – Final Exam Essay

Prompt #3: Discuss how the troubled agrarian sector mounted a powerful but unsuccessful challenge to the new directions of American industrial capitalism and how this confrontation came to a head during the crisis of the 1890s.

The troubled agrarian sector was known as the “Populist” party, mainly named after the fact that they were made up of the popular majority of the peoples of America. Mainly, its membership was forged of anti-Republican farmers who were previously angered at the McKinley Tariff recently passed. Benjamin Harrison’s McKinley Tariff was one of the highest tariffs in U.S. history. It was even high than the 1828 Tariff of Abominations that was one of the supporting reasons for why the Civil War started. The tariff particularly hurt farmers in the West and the South, who sold their harvests to other foreign, unprotected, markets, and used that profit to go on with their basic farming needs. In retaliation, the People’s party was formed to try to combat their grievances in the political realm. In this political realm, they campaigned for the following: Unlimited cheap silver money, they wanted a rate of sixteen ounces of silver to one ounce of gold; government ownership of all railroads and telephone companies; a graduated income tax; direct election of U.S. senators; single-term limits for presidents; immigration restriction; and shorter workdays.

The agrarian protest was only one of many indications of the national political crisis emerging in the 1890s. There was a severe depression, which began in 1893. After that, there was widespread labor unrest and violence, culminating in the strikes of 1894. There was the continuing failure of either major party to respond to the growing distress. And there was the rigid conservatism of Grover Cleveland, who took office for the second time just at the moment that the economy collapsed. Out of this growing sense of crisis came some of the most heated political battles in American history, culminating in the dramatic campaign of 1896, on which many Americans came to believe, the future of the nation hung upon.

Other than that, the American industrial capitalism had first stated to the farmers that the government will fully back off of their doings, and allow an essentially, fully free “laissez-faire” environment – something that we are led to believe that this present economy runs on. The incorporation of farming, high protective tariffs, and the Depression of 1893 ruined subsistence farmers in the Midwest and South. Many of the cash crop farmers found themselves deep in debt and could not afford the unregulated railroad fares to ship their products to cities. Over a million impoverished farmers eventually organized under a social organization called the National Grange to fight for their livelihood.

We are believed to be in a world of freedom, despite the fact that we are in a world of controlled freedom – otherwise known as Democracy. “It is amazing how willingly humans are willing to cage themselves.” – Hakura, Appleseed. Despite the fact that the laissez-faire economy does allow for the free movement of economy, but when one company starts to dominate over everybody else dramatically, the government steps in and prevents that enterprise from literally “taking over the world.” You can say that American industrial laissez-faire economy is actually communist oriented – deeply involved with the “equality” that must “exist” in the market world. While no one was looking, the American economy had ceased to be driven by small, owner - operated businesses, but had come to be dominated by the large corporation as a whole. Alarmingly, they noticed, corporations were coming increasingly to be managed by salaried professionals rather than by their equity owners.

Unfortunately though, the Agrarian farmer’s people’s alliance (ironically sounding like China’s People’s Republic) was slowed, and eventually came to a head as the 1896 elections came to way. The first shot of death came from their despised political candidate, President McKinley, whom they whole-heartedly hated due to his previous tariff, notoriously named after him. With the hopes that he would have passed the free silver act slim, even so, he did the exact opposite, and killed the Populists’ dream of free silver in 1900 when he signed the Gold Standard Act to peg the value of the dollar to one once of gold. He also signed the Dingley Tariff, though not as bad as the previous McKinley Tariff, set the overall tariff rates at about forty-five percent. Most historians regard the election of 1896 as one of the most important elections of the nineteenth century, and certainly the most significant election since the Civil War. First, it represented a victory of urban middle class Americans over the agrarian interests in cities, and Bryan’s appeal for free silver and inflation had alienated even the poorest Americans in the cities who depended on a stable dollar for survival. The Bryan campaign thus marked the last attempt to win the precedence though appeals to rural voters. It also marked the death of the populist movement, which lost steam when it supported the Bryan campaign essentially merging with the Democratic Party.

Prompt #1: How evenly balanced were the Democratic and Republican parties during the late nineteenth century? How did this balance flow from differing regional and sociocultural bases?

Prompt #2: Discuss the inability of the political system and a limited national government to respond effectively to the nation’s rapid social and economic changes.

Discuss the primary devices Wood Allen uses to develop his position on the possibility of a moral structure.

Crimes and Misdemeanors is possibly one of Woody Allen's most ambitious films, seeking as it does to shed light upon the human situation while still making fun of the human race. The central themes revolves around with the unfairness of life, the inability to be faithful to one person, jealousy, love, guilt and so much more, all of them introduced with far more subtlety than listing them would suggest. The twin lives of Judah and Cliff encompass all of these emotional traps, yet their divergently different approaches to life makes the difference to how one will be when the final outcome comes. (This in a way that suggests an empty, godless, moral-vacuum type universe that could care less about how a person survives in the “real” world, otherwise known as “the survival of the fittest.”) But Woody Allen was not able to explain all of these ideals without the proper techniques – devices in fact – which consist mainly of: Flashbacks – mainly to show and the foundation to explain the guilt / moral injustice that occurs in the world; Juxtapositioning of “same flow” characters: “The twin lives” of Judah and Cliff which sharply contrast each of the other but have the same essential goal – to find definition within this world of pure chaos of moral structure ; and lastly, “The Film within a Film” – With Professor Louis Levy explaining the various paradoxes within the human world, he is responsible for creating the very paradox himself, mainly de to the fact that he is the one who brings up the questions to a more noticeable stage than before – when one can simply pass up the question for something more important. Is God uncaring, or is he just ironic? Is the free will with which he endowed us an act of generosity and trust, or a sign of indifference? Do our crimes disappoint him, or is it rather he who let us down? Can the absence of morality be equated with the absence of the all-pervading father? Has God abandoned us, or was he simply never there?

While the film ultimately suggests that life is unjust, that people don't always suffer the consequences of their actions thus allowing many criminals to get away scot-free, it also allows for hope, in the sense that happiness is where you find it. It doesn't make any such equitable situation, but it does show a relationship of how one should make the most out of the only life you will ever have. In seeking to address these topics, Woody Allen weaves numerous flashbacks into the narrative, each appearing when necessary and illuminating just enough of the present to create a context, which brings about the second paradox presented within the film; “You will notice that what we are aiming at when we fall in love there is a very strange paradox the paradox consists of how we want to re find all or some of the people to whom we were attached during our child hood, but on the other hand asking our loved one to correct all the wrongs that happened to us in our childhood that these early parents or siblings inflicted upon us in a contradicting attempt to return to the past while attempting to undo the past.” When ever we fall in love, romantic love we unfortunately try to replace the people that you have lost in the process of transversing the line between childhood and adulthood. Strangely enough, this paradox only re-emphasizes the fact that the world only contains an undefined method by which humans live by.

Humans, being as capable as they can try their best to create some sort of order within the world that they live in. if they had not been able to do so, it would be highly doubted that the human race exists today. Those intelligent beings that are able to explore the ideals of the world would soon come to the question: “What is there after death?” This questions of God is as ubiquitous as they are unanswerable in Woody Allen’s Crimes and Misdemeanors, as many have come to fear what there is to the life after this one, in fact, the fears can amount to such that one will be afraid to live any more and commit suicide due to there being no plausible moral structure to give the “security” to one who is venturing the cold deep darkness of empty space.

Judah evades the “Almighty” by ignoring laws such as “thou shall not kill,” which shows his ignorant bliss for a religious icon. While the unhappily married and struggling filmmaker Cliff (Woody Allen) presupposes the existence of a superior power, with a moral structure governing the universe. These two seemingly differential characters are vital to Woody Allen’s proof of the point that there is no such underlying moral structure existent within the universe. While Judah’s lack of ethics leads him to confront and ultimately elude God, Levy’s misfortunes and Cliff’s frustrations incite them to cling on to God’s indirect manifestations of justice and love. “It is only we with our capacity to love that give meaning to the indifferent universe,” says Levy, and concededly leads to my theory of the evolution of religious beings. Because fear, they can be conquered, and in this case, they are conquered by the non-existent “Almighty” surrounded by a veil of death and mystery. Because of the way humans are able to think, they created “god” as a means of channeling some of their fear into the void of empty space.ⁱ With that, Death is incidentally central to all the characters—it shows Judah that murder is not only a solution—it may even open doors for peace and prosperity. For, Louis Levy, death enables him to resort to spiritual inquiries when faced with the loss of precious loved ones. Common to all of their searches is the absence of a fair and loving God – denied by Judah, who ignores his commandments; lost for Levy, who finally commits suicide; and deceiving for an astonished Cliff, who sees in his Godlike mentor’s deadly despair a disturbing contradiction to the life lessons he so valued, thus sealing the fact that no moral structure can possibly exist in such a world with humans that incapable of even imagining it. (With reference to Professor Louis Levy in which he gives an example that the Israelites created a god who cares, but is a demanding figure. Who shows his ruthlessness though the loyalty of his subjects, where in one case he tells Abraham to demonstrate his loyalty to him by telling him to kill his only son. And also the fact that Ben, the rabbi, goes blind, loosing his most “precious” possession that his body can give him, despite his total faith and belief in a loving “god.” Ironically, he is the only person within the whole film who is able to fully portray his faith in a loving god who is capable of viewing / overlooking past sins and give forgiveness.)

Similarly, film clips are used within the film itself to show and provide helpful insights between scenes, which provide an effective reminder of the external references that frequently pass by without notice. (This technical adeptness is mirrored within the character of Cliff when he shows his documentary of Lester - a stunningly effective destruction which cuts between shots of Lester to a wildly posturing Mussolini.)ⁱⁱ Without these “films within the film” Woody Allen would not have been able to portray a clear projection of the ideas that he is trying to get across – the idea that there is no moral structure within this present world which could be due in part of our ignorance of the whole idea of there actually being a loving god. We, as in the majority of the people, focus too much on what has already been taught / read, that we forget to question faith itself, and forget to ask such questions that will either confirm our faith in religion, or destroy it completely. In my case, the questioning has completely destroyed the possibility of just simply throwing one’s self into an unknown void, thus making me cynical about life. But unfortunately for me, others, such as Ms. Cox says that “Living your life cynical will only lead to depression because there is nothing to fill in the void.” Fortunately though, I am not able to become as depressed as others who have wholly thrown themselves into religion. Because of my cynicism, I am able to fully reason out the facts from the “void” that exists around me. And in the case of depression, I have nothing to blame but myself, and with analytical review, I would be able to correct myself and feel better doing at least something about it. On the other hand, those fully thrown into religion blame everything that happens on this “void” known as “god.” When enough of oneself has been thrown into this “void” there will be nothing left but void itself within the whole believer, thus throwing themselves into such a depression that cannot be coped with since there is nothing left to blame on oneself, or “god.”

Essentially put, the search for God that is the central theme to Crimes and Misdemeanors, and to find “God” one must go through the explicit process of deconstruction. To Levy, God is the product of human creation: “In spite of millennial efforts, we have not succeeded to create a really and entirely loving image of God.” To Judah, God is nothing of a worry, despite his family upbringing and his murder of his mistress. Cliff is unfortunate, for his has lost everything, and has nothing else left but god. Judah’s crime, Levy’s suicide, Cliff’s frustrations, and the rabbi’s conformist acceptance of his progressive blindness, all constitute different expectations towards, their image of a “loving” God. And only by approaching the subject of god through varied perspectives, Cliff – the “normal” human, Judah – the cynical, Levy – the philosopher, and Ben – the conformist rabbi, is Woody Allen able to show the skepticism that exists in the realm that humans are unable to touch… the realm of “God.”

Discuss the primary devices Wood Allen uses to develop his position on the possibility of a moral structure.

Primary devices:

Film in a film

Contrast of characters

Irony

Imagery

ZaWmInTu: how is it that you see there is no moral structure in the world?

j insin wi n: people are too self centered and cannot be conscious of themselves and their actions in the world

pinkkdaze: i have no idea what youre talking about

LilSwEetViEtAn: not alot of people care to have any structure

LilSwEetViEtAn: thats why there isnt one?

It's a testament to his directorial maturity that the film largely succeeds, generating a certain level of suspense because it's really not obvious what choices the characters will make (given that there's no need to provide a Hollywood happy ending). The only area in which the movie comes close to breaking down is over the sheer number of characters introduced and the impossibility of doing all of them justice (fascinating though everyone is).

Cliff’s greatest ambition in life is to finish a documentary on the philosophy professor Louis Levy, his spiritual and intellectual mentor, who struggles to make sense of human existence after losing his whole family to the Holocaust.

i I can elaborate more on this theory in another paper of a totally different topic: “The Origins of Religion – Why?”

Final Exam Essay: The Importance of Health and Wellness

Introduction and Summary of Health and Wellness Packet

Wellness is much more than "health." Health is just as important as “wellness.” Wellness is the quest to improve our quality of life; our physical health and natural healing ability; the peace-of-mind achieved by knowing you are following a pathway to becoming healthy and happy. At the same time, health is a state of balance, with inputs and outputs of energy and matter in equilibrium, thus allowing for bodily growth. Health also indirectly implies good prospects for continued survival. But both, health and wellness, may just simply be optimizing your body's natural healing ability and overcoming a challenging health condition. The health and wellness packet, “You Are What You Eat, What You Do, How You Do It, and Whom You Do It With,” basically explains how eating habits, physical activities, personal hygiene, stress, and what premarital sex can do harm to your body if done improbably. The packet also describes various methods of how to keep one healthy, as in the case with Mrs. Regina Jackson, a once sickly child made well though healthy eating habits.

Summary of Mrs. Jackson’s Story

When proper health and wellness procedures are not followed, as in the case with Mrs. Jackson, you can be what is known as a “sickly being.” Because Mrs. Jackson’s diet consisted mainly of unhealthy eating throughout her child/teenage life, her bad habits continued though adulthood. Later in life, as a wife, mother, and working adult, her problems continually persisted, with many of her ailments causing her to be late to work, sluggish, and deprived of energy. Fortunately though, her life changed almost completely one summer when she and her mother attended a seminar by health expert Jay Kordich – the Juice Man. Never before had Mrs. Jackson and her family known about the special enzymes that are found only in fresh fruits and vegetables, and immediately she went out and purchased a juice machine to juice fruit under the heft aid of the “Juice Man’s” instructional cookbook. Mrs. Jackson’s life changed dramatically. She began to have more frequent bowl movements every day, a very healthy sign, and the best of all of her forthcomings – she never got seriously sick again. Because of the total improved health of her whole family, she stopped being late and absent from work so frequently, and in 1990 and 1992, she received her 1^st award of work excellence.

Your Personal Health and Wellness Story

During the course of my life, I have always considered myself to have been eating “healthy,” as described by my mother. In comparison with the guidelines provided in the health and wellness packet, my diet fits in pretty well with what it recommends, and such. The health and wellness package though, did advise more “fresh fruit” drinking, which I found rather tight to fit into my current budget, and was only a slight modification to my usual diet of everyday rice, meat, and vegetables. Though I did notice a change in my bowl movements when I increased the my dad to day consumption of orange juice, (though not freshly squeezed like I prefer), nothing else noticeable over this short 12-week period changed my body though the diet plan advised in the health and wellness packet. I do not often eat out, and even more rarely eat at a fast food restaurant, thanks in part to my ever-loving mother who prevents, and discourages, the eating of those “fast foods.” Instead, I cook my meals at home, with the supervision of my mother, and in some cases when my father isn’t busy him too, and eat about 97% of my meals home-cooked. Personally though, I find distaste in fast-food meals, partly because of all the unhealthy fats and oils used to cook/deep fry their meals with. Most often, I find myself feeling sick after eating out at a fast food restaurant.

On the surface, my forward appearance usually betrays my physical abilities. Glasses, untamed hair, books all in hand and a sloppy style of clothing usually gives someone the imaged that this person here is a geek/computer gamer that does nothing else, but stay at home and study 24/7. Although the geek/computer gamer part may be correct to an extent, I am actually very active in the Olympian Sports, thank you very much, focusing mainly on Modern Wushu, or otherwise known in the West as “Kung-Fu.” I practice for usually about 19 hours a week, professionally at the temple, or just simply doing basic routine exercises at home right before a shower, bed, dinner, etc… Myself just simply being active for only 20 minutes is a tad bit too little for me… you can say that can be considered a warm-up appetizer. My practice durations are usually 2-3 hours a day during the school year, and about 6-9 hours a day during the summer break – mainly to prepare for the upcoming competitions and demonstrations worldwide.

Conclusion

During this 12-week period I have learnt a lot more insight into the health and wellness subject field, and actually learned of the purpose of my parents’ safe-guarding of I eating unhealthy. I also learnt of the through trouble that they go though to provide me with home-cooked meals everyday, in contrast with just simply going out to eat like most families would do. What I had learned about health and wellness was pretty much a review of what I had already known, such as the reasons to eat plenty of vegetables, avoid fat-fried foods, and to make sure to get plenty of sleep, in addition to exercise. I also learnt many of the bad consequences related to that of not eating healthy, as with the case of my instructor, Mrs. Jackson, and though her sacrificial experience, I was able to learn to fear what may happen to me, and my family, if I do not pay attention to good health and wellness. Some of the details that I had learnt during this 12-week period would be the chemical composition of many foods that are vital to a functioning body such as how carbohydrates fuel the body though sugars, starches, and celluloses, how proteins are required to build muscles, and the most important, vitamins. Vitamins are essential for the normal metabolism, growth and development of the body. Without them, your body will be essentially useless, since your body relies on them as a catalyst for many cellular reactions involving muscle movement, electron transfers, and hormonal releases. Essentially a whole nut in one, I learned that taking care of my body did not only include having a good hygiene, such as day to day baths, but it also included good health and wellness preparation and execution. If you are not able to adjust your body to proper health and wellness, you may end up like Mrs. Jackson’s adolescent years, being a sickly child, with many health problems that hindered her in her adult life.

Generation XX (Pronounced “X-2”)

Acid Snake sighed, and took a deep breath of the trite air, quickly spatting it back out as he inhaled it. The air was supposedly “freshly recycled,” but after so many years of breathing the same recycled air, it eventually lost the freshness nature had given it.

=Flashback=

The year is 2000 and 50.3145968. Women have taken over the world and forced all male, or nearly male, beings to live underground. But this was before the Great Plague #2, when the a certain trait in all males were to be targeted and destroyed by a single virus.

Female superiority has drastically increased due to one (stupid) politician fighting against the supreme court for women's rights... and won. Well, that is what the history books say at lest. But that was not the only factor behind the rise of female superiority. Some (female) scientist, after successfully cloning and fully mapping the human “hidden” genome, decided to create a viral infection that will only target and kill the most derivative function of the male species... the dominant male, banal gene.

Though trivial at first, the elimination of the banal gene gave the female species something they had always wanted. It eliminated the potato couch husbands, practically killed off all of the vapid celebrity actors, and made men shopping with other women a prosaic commonplace. In fact it became so sickening to see males shopping with other females, malls had to be reformatted so that certain clothing stores, beauty salons, and specialty stores were restricted to only females.

Then, the males started “dying”. Only two years after being infected by the Banal Virus, males started showing the final side-effects of the infection. To keep it simple, males' psychology became female, and the women of the Earth took this opportunity and seized the ever-dominant male role.

Just the slight thought of that drastic event sent a shiver down Acid Snake's spine.

=Flashback=

It is now the year 2000 and 67.730275. This was a time of bliss, gaiety, and very little platitude. Males everywhere were essentially playing the female role, and the female playing the male role. What used to be “behind every successful man is a woman”, is now “behind every successful woman is a man.”

Those men who were lucky enough to have the resistant strand of DNA that was unaffected by the Banal Virus were all forced to live underground by the militant amazonian females. Also, those men who “survived” and are now living underground were either incredibly manly, or just simply gay.

What insipid chaos is this!?

Acid Snake was on the helicopter 2300 feet up in the air. Reading the in-flight briefing pamphlet, Acid Snake, and a few other “able men,” are supposed to infiltrate the city's headquarters, take the (female) president hostage, and finally show the now arrogant women, “Who's your Daddy?!” all before the chopper returns to ex-fill the survivors.

Snake shook his head at the poorly written briefing document and muttered under his breath, “Man, I hate these gay clichés.” A few of the surrounding squad members chuckled at the remark. “Maybe it was one of them gays that wrote it.” What a platitude remark thought Snake, while some more chuckling came from the cramped compartment. At 23:00 o'clock, the whole room was as dark as a purgatory, illuminated only by the dull, vapid red emergency lights.

“1 minute” blared the announcement in each of the squad member's headset. They were all equipped with the most scrapped-together equipment that was available from the 19^th century. “If it was not for the females, I wouldn't have to be staring down at this ancient ballistic rifle.” Said Snake. The whole squad grunted in unison. Snake yet again checked his “Maverick .40 caliber” rifle, otherwise known as “M4.” It was a pretty solid piece, painted a lackluster black. Just holding the frame alone can make one understand how it survived those many years of ware and tear.

The headset blared as the crew chief yelled, “Touchdown, Go, go, go!” Special kinetic dampeners helped to cushion the fall. The entire squad charged forward the moment their feet reached “home”. They met little resistance, save for an automated wall turret that began firing at the drop ship as it slowly pulled out of harm's way.

Snake thought for sure that the alarm had been tripped, and very soon the enemy would be pouring out of rat holes all along the upper portions of the facility.

The squad charged forward throughout the facility carefully maneuvering through the maze of interlocks and hallways. Such a mundane part of the job that always had to be done, thought Snake. Just before the main airlock the squad came to a bio-electronic secure door. “Wolf, get that door open.” barked Snake over the headset. And a few moments later, Wolf came trotting forward from his rear end position, started the ripping apart the control panel to the cyber-lock interface, and hooked up his microcomputer implanted directly into his brain. A quick hack was all that was needed, and the squad entered the room cautiously.

“Its quiet... too quiet...” said one of the squad members. What a overused, hackneyed phrase that is constantly being used during base raids. Snake thought, its typical that the target point is going to be “quiet” and that the enemy is lying in wait, just ready to pounce on top of you and your squad the moment you have your backs turned.

“Shh~.” Snake motioned for the two hackers Wolf and Fox to secure the control terminal. Immediately, both of them turned on their light-distortion cloaking suits and silently vanished into thin air – the control terminal's panel being the only object strangely flying through the air, displaying numbers, letters, and illegible symbols.

Gunfire immediately erupted from a distance, Snake turned to meet the threat, but just the gunfire stopped just as fast as it had started. Checking the squad's bio-readings on screen he realized that half the Squad had disappeared. He wasn't sure if the commotion was accidental fire, or something else that might have caught the other half of the squad by surprise. Thinking that it was the ancient ballistic weapon's fault for accidentally exploding in your face sent a cold shiver down the spine.

Snake hand-motioned to continue, and the rest of the squad nodded in unison. Each of the men hit the walls for cover and two men started flanking the left corner. The main objective was to secure the president, and it was no matter if only half the squad remained. More gunfire erupted, from the left flank and the distinct sound of the Women's United Army energy weapons.

“Stop and stealth.” Snake motioned. Each of the men suddenly vanished into then air, activating the light-distortion suits. Snake took this opportunity to jump up to the ceiling, and climb right above the entrance door ready to pounce upon the first woman to walk though the door. The fight was at hand, and more than half of the squad was missing or unaccounted for.

Wolf's voice crackled over the radio. “Commander, looks like you're in a pinch.” Snake laughed sarcastically. “Yea, I am. We sacrificed half the squad and two more for your sake, now show me what you can do from your nice little video game.” Fox laughed playfully across the radio. “Just you watch.”

Suddenly, red alarm lights blared throughout the halls, and emergency fire doors slammed into place. A eerie hissing sound started sounding from the room next door, and the feminine yells of pain and anguish emanated from the air vents above. “Music to my ears,” sang Snake. The remaining squad cheered at the feat.

Fox chimed in again over the radio.
“Hey Snake, I think I got all of 'em. Well, at least I got all of 'em chicken fighters.”
“What the heck is that supposed to mean?”
“Cliché commander, cliché...~”
“Well you better cliché my ass before all hell breaks loose.”
“Fine, fine...”

A display prompt showing the map of the facility and the location of the president popped up on screen in Snake's heads up display.

“For Pete's sake boys, let head out and fetch us la presidente chica!”

To be continued...

Extra ideas:

As you can see, the whole format of language had practically a “total make-over” due to the new female majority.

Not only did this sudden, unforeseen psychological mishap delight females even more, (due to the deep hidden psychology of the female mind, to have practically every male friend become a girl so that she can experience all the “feelings” that males can never experience.)

Clinical Paper: Pancreatitis

1. Name of disease or illness or disorder:

   Pancreatitis – Acute / Chronic

2. Cause(s):

   • Acute: Gallstones, Alcohol, Infections (e.g. Mumps, Coxsackie B), Pancreatiic Tumours, Drugs (e.g. Azathioprine, Oestrogens, Corticosteroids), Latrogenic (e.g. Post-surgical, ERCP), Hyperlipidaemias, Trauma, Scorpion Bite, Cardiac Surgery, Idiopathic.

   • Chronic: Alcohol (Continous consumption), Tropical (Nutritional), Hereditary (Trypsinogen and Inhibitory Protein Defects, Cystic fibrosis membrane regulator defects), Hypercalcaemia, past traumatic injuries.

3. Symptoms:

   • Acute pancreatitis usually begins with pain in the upper abdomen that may last for a few days. The pain may be severe and may become constant—just in the abdomen—or it may reach to the back and other areas. It may be sudden and intense or begin as a mild pain that gets worse when food is eaten. Someone with acute pancreatitis often looks and feels very sick. Other symptoms may include:

• swollen and tender abdomen

• nausea

• vomiting

• fever

• rapid pulse

*Severe cases may cause dehydration and low blood pressure. The heart, lungs, or kidneys may fail. If bleeding occurs in the pancreas, shock and sometimes even death follow.

4. Diagnostic tests performed or diagnostic measures done:

   Blood tests:

   • Serum amylase level (standard)

   • Urinary amylase levels (remain elevated over a longer period of time)

   • Serum lipase levels (raised in acute pancreatitis & remain elevated)

   • Other baseline investigations: include a full blood count and CRP, urea and electrolytes, blood glucose, liver biochemistry, plasma calcium and arterial blood gases. (documented and repeated @ 24 and 48 hours.)

5. Treatment:

   • Nasogastric suction – prevents abdominal distension and vomitus.

   • Baseline arterial blood gases – determine need for oxygen administration.

   • Prophylactic antibiotics – broad-spectrum antibiotics, (cefuroxime or imipenem, reduce risk of infective complications and are given from the outset.

   • Analgesia requirements – Pehidine and tramadol (primary), while morphine derivatives should be avoided because of their propensity to cause sphincter of Oddi contraction.

   • Feeding – In patients with a severe episode there is little likelihood of oral nutrition for a number of weeks. Total parenteral nutrition has been associated with a high risk of infection and has been replaced by enteral nutrition. This is administered via a nasojejunal tube wich is well tolerated and can maintain adequate nutritional input. The nasojejunal position of the feeding tube placed endoscopically overcomes the frequent problem of gastric paresis and there is less likelihood of pancreatic stimulation.

6. Prognosis:

   *Recent evidence shows that obesity predicts the outcome from an episode of pancreatitis. It is likely that the excessive adipose tissue is a substrate for activated enzyme activity, which in turn, will generate an extensive inflammatory reaction.

   • Acute Pancreatitis- In severe acute pancreatitis, a CT scan helps determine the prognosis. If the scan indicates that the pancreas is only mildly swollen, the prognosis is excellent. If the scan shows large areas of destroyed pancreas, the prognosis is poor.

   • When acute pancreatitis is mild, the death rate is about 5%. However, in pancreatitis with severe damage and bleeding, or when the inflammation is not confined to the pancreas, the death rate can be as high as 10 to 50%. Death during the first several days of acute pancreatitis is usually caused by failure of the heart, lungs, or kidneys. Death after the first week is usually caused by pancreatic infection or by a pseudocyst that bleeds or ruptures.

   • Chronic Pancreatitis - Although chronic pancreatitis is an incurable condition, the severity, frequency and type of symptoms can vary. Some people — especially those who quit drinking alcohol entirely — have very mild or occasional symptoms that are easily managed with medications. Other people — especially those who continue to drink alcohol — can have disabling, daily pain and may require frequent hospitalizations.

7. Health Education:

• To learn more about pancreatitis, its origins, treatment, etc... please refer to the references used below under “References,” or go to http://medlineplus.gov/ to search for more detailed informative articles.

• Pancreatitis: Pancreatitis is a dangerous inflammation of the pancreas. It may cause death.

• Tell your doctor right away if you develop stomach pain, nausea, or vomiting. These can be signs of pancreatitis.

• Let your doctor know if you have ever had pancreatitis, regularly drink alcoholic beverages, or have gallstones.

• Pancreatitis occurs more often in patients with these conditions.

• It is also more likely in people with advanced HIV disease, but can occur at any disease stage.

• Paitents diagnosed with pancreatitis should know that if they are taking Infergen, due to the medication's ability to cause a more sevre of pancreatitis.

• Pancreatitis is known to be a hereditary disease. To get “gene-mapped” for pancreatitis, contact:

“Hem –ing’s Way”

The psychology of Ernest Hemingway is one complete systematic study of mind, though not to be studied in a systematic way, for one will become too indulged in the minutest of things, and then become lost in the sudden “outpour of mind” that Hemingway frequently has. Ernest Hemingway was plagued all his adult life by insomnia, and when actually sleeping, by nightmares, both are responsible for his highly developed convoluted imagination." Hemingway was a man of contradictions, a tough-guy who liked to hunt, fish, fight and drink, but yet a hypochondriac with a temperamental manic- depressive personality. Later biographic research revealed, behind the macho façade of boxing, bullfighting, big-game hunting and deep-sea fishing he built up, a sensitive and vulnerable mind was exposed to that of any type of mental discomfort.

Hemingway’s insecurity shows up in his many of his writings and writing style. But strangely enough, the stories and characters that Hemingway develops, strongly contrast that of his introverted personality. His characters – the “Hemingway Heroes” – exhibit something that I like to call “super masculinity,” justified by the willingness to look into the face of death, and come out of it – dead or alive. This is more literally defined as “grace under pressure,” a trait that all Hemingway Heroes have. The Hemingway Hero is often described as one who exhibits the principles of honor, courage and endurance. In other words, the Hemingway Hero displays qualities that, in a life of pain and tension, "make a man a man." When the world knocks him down, the Hemingway Hero always gets back up and never loses his integrity. Unfortunately, the opposite can only be said about Hemingway during the time of his life. Frequently, Hemingway would encounter serious episodes of intense depression, going into withdrawal, and frequently attempting suicide. None of Hemingway’s heroes had ever portrayed such a sight as suicide (though there are some exceptions), and even if they have had portrayed depression, the Hemingway hero somehow found some way to cope with it, get over it, and “bounce back into the ring fighting.”

Physically, Hemingway contrasts with most of his “Heroes” that he invented within his stories. If Hemingway felt that he lacked an aspect, he would just make it up in his “oh so true” stories so that others will believe him. Such a thing happened most of the time during his high school years when he was on the football team. Because he sucked, he made up stories of what he did, while actively keeping the bench warm – instead of actively playing ball on the field. Only until during his later years was Ernest Hemingway able to live up to his sense of being a “Hero” in his works – as seen with his attempt in trying to join the US Army, denied, but accepted as a volunteer ambulance driver for the Red Cross.

Hemingway also contradicts the moral code of responsibility that was set up in his works of literature. This was seen though the way he parented his sons, how Hemingway had no control for his intense alcoholic drinking, and practically no moral restriction when it came down to the time to run off with another female mistress and leave the other wife behind.

Hemingway’s letters to his mother-in-law always had the hint of suicide within them, as he once said that “Suicide just simply ran in the family.” Factually true, for his brother, and father both committed suicide by gun point, though the main reason behind all of these suicides was that a hereditary disease ran throughout the family – chronic depression. Hemingway later committed suicide at age 61 with a shotgun in his mouth, and the trigger pulled with his big toe. Irony in Hemingway’s action can be seen in which because in his works his characters all take responsibility for their actions, but Hemingway - though suicide - does not. “To endure, one must last…”

In a way, Ernest Hemingway often described as one who exhibits the principles of honor, courage and endurance. In other words, the hero –Hemingway-, is able to displays qualities that, in a life of pain and tension, "make a man a man a man."

爱与喜欢不同

面对心爱的人，你的心跳会加速，
然而面对喜欢的人，你只会兴高采烈。
面对心爱的人，冬天就像是春天，
然而面对喜欢的人，冬天是个美丽的冬天。

假如你凝视的是心爱的人，你会脸红，
但假如你凝视的是喜欢的人，你会微笑。
面对心爱的人，你不能说出心中的一切，
然而面对喜欢的人，你言无不尽。

面对心爱的人，你容易羞涩，
然而面对喜欢的人，你能展现真实的自我。
心爱的人时刻萦绕在你心头，

你不能直视心爱的人的眼睛，
而你却能欣然接受喜欢的人的目光。

当心爱的人哭泣，你会一同落泪，
而当喜欢的人哭泣，你会停下来安慰。
爱的感觉源自眼睛，
而喜欢的感觉源自耳朵。
所以如果你不再喜欢你喜欢的人，
你只需要堵住耳朵。
但是如果你试图闭上眼睛，
爱便会化做一滴泪水，永远留在你的心中。

If I must say, this is a forward before the real assignment, due to the fact that I couldn’t really fit the haughtiest words into this poem. If I tried, (which I did and failed miserably), my supposedly “wonderful” poem would be turned into trash – filled with such insolent phrases containing vocabulary that would sound so awkward, weird, and narcissistic. Well, other than that, these words have proved to be of some use in describing their fake, overbearing, pretentious state, being that they carried an air of arrogance whenever used in detailed conversations, thus carrying the speaker into such an ecstatic, “Oh I am king of the world!” supercilious state.

And here it is… with the simple flick of the page… the English version of the vocabulary essay that will soon swagger into your playful mind.

Love or Like?

In front of the person you love, your heart beats faster,
But in front of the person you like, you only feel happy.
In front of the person you love, winter is spring,
But in front of the person you like, winter is just a beautiful winter.

If you look into the eyes of the one you love, you blush,
But if you look into the eyes of the one you like, you smile.
In front of the person you love, you can't say everything on your mind
But in front of the person you like, you can.

In front of the person you love, you tend to get shy,
But in front of the person you like, you can show your ostentatious true self.
Disdain comes with the thought of never being able to see your love again,
But with the person you like, you are complacent with whatever happens between you two.

You can't look straight into the eyes of the one you love,
But you can always smile into the eyes of the one you like.
Your arrogance is vanquished when you are with your love,
But with friends, being a braggart is nothing new.

When the one you love is crying, you cry with them,
But when the one you like is crying, you comfort them.
The one you like can be a contemptuous brat,
But the one you love is the angel from heaven.

How egotistic it is to think that the one you love loves you back.
But if you swagger to and fro, delaying your confession…
Your time of love will pass right beneath your eyes.
But to expect that your love will fly to your arms is simply presumptuous.

Your pretentious mask of self doubt will not hide your feelings for the one you love.
But will only push them further away.

All in all…

The feeling of love starts from the eyes,
But the feeling of like starts form the ears.
So if you stop liking a person,
You only need to cover your ears.
But if you try to close your eyes…
Love turns into a teardrop and will remain in your heart forever.

The Heart’s Garden

Friendship blooms each year

Within the soil of our hearts

And is ever changing like the seasons

Warm, vital, bitter, and harsh

They show softness in the roughest times

Brightness through the darkest hour

Truth in the pond of deceit

And support in the unforgiving world

They all eventually wither away,

Shedding each petal,

And becoming more distant of its valor

As fragile as it seems,

It cannot bloom in the same place or the same way.

Each bloom has its special individuality

And that is why friendship always lasts

Forever in the garden of our hearts
