...On a glistening and sunny day near the South Coast of Florida, there lived the king of the Atlantic Ocean coasts and his two sons. The family lived in an underwater castle where all the coasts intersected. The castle is white with very large poles standing at the front like the White House in the water. The father and two sons are the only ones who live there. Their names are King Valko and his twin sons are Andrew and Inko. King Valko is the father of Andrew and Inko, and he is the King of all the coasts. He is a very strict and a very powerful God. His sons are his pride and joy, and he is very protective of them. He is a tall, older man with a grey-colored beard that reaches down to his feet. Brown eyes hide under his long shaggy brown hair, like a hat. Andrew is 16 years old and a fraternal twin to his brother Inko. He is the son of the mighty King Valko. He is very competitive, conceited and self-centered. He believes he is the best at everything and better than anyone. Andrew is short and has fine brown hair and hazel-green eyes. Just like Andrew, Inko is 16 and a twin to Andrew and son of the God Vilko. He is also very competitive, yet he isn't conceited. Inko will accept any challenge someone throws at him with no doubt. He is tall with long blonde hair and light blue eyes....

Years later though Morrie is diagnosed with a debilitating disease (ALS) that lands him on national T.V. where Mitch gains his motivation to reconnect with him before time is up. During their final Tuesdays together Mitch faces a lot of symbols that relates to his and Morrie’s life and their relationship together. Just a few symbols described during their time together were Morrie’s bed, Morrie’s wish of becoming a Gazelle, and the wave story Morrie told Mitch was a symbol in itself. “When you’re in bed, you’re dead” (131, Mitch Albom). This was one of Morrie’s first and most meaningful aphorism in the book but the symbol was the Morrie’s bed itself. The bed represents the surrendering of his body too the disease in the book. Morrie wakes up every morning and immediately gets out of bed and moves to another room in the house, mostly he goes to his study where all his books are. When you are in bed your not doing anything, your not being productive with your day. When your laying in bed 24/7 with nothing better to do but stair at the ceiling and roll over every once in a while, it turns into your prison or even worse, your grave. If Morrie was to be reincarnated, what would he be? “If I had a choice, a...

Procedure Part 1: Image from a Lens 1. Place the light source, convex lens, and screen on the optics bench as shown in figure 1. Start with the light source at a distance greater than 2ƒ from the lens. Figure 1 2. Measure the height of the light source, or "object" (ho), and record it in data table 1. Also measure and record the distance between the lens and the light source (do) in the data table. Using the lens equation and the given focal length, calculate the distance from the lens to the image (di) and the height of the image (hi): and . Record your calculations in the "Calculated" section of data table 1. 3. Keeping the light source and lens in the same position, turn on the light source and adjust the screen until a clear, real image is formed on the screen. Measure the experimentally determined di and hi, and record your observations in the "Experimental" section of data table 1. 4. Place the light source a distance of exactly 2ƒ from the lens....

...An artistic movement whose influence on film has been as profound and enduring as that of surrealism or cubism on painting, the French New Wave (or Le Nouvelle Vague) made its first splashes as a movement shot through with youthful exuberance and a brisk reinvigoration of the filmmaking process. Most agree that the French New Wave was at its peak between 1958 and 1964, but it continued to ripple on afterwards, with many of the tendencies and styles introduced by the movement still in practice today… French New Wave The New Wave (French: La Nouvelle Vague) was a blanket term coined by critics for a group of French filmmakers of the late 1950s and 1960s, influenced by Italian Neorealism and classical Hollywood cinema. Although never a formally organized movement, the New Wave filmmakers were linked by their self-conscious rejection of classical cinematic form and their spirit of youthful iconoclasm. "New Wave" is an example of European art cinema. Many also engaged in their work with the social and political upheavals of the era, making their radical experiments with editing, visual style and narrative part of a general break with the conservative paradigm. Using portable equipment and requiring little or no set up time, the New Wave way of filmmaking presented a documentary type style. The films exhibited direct sounds on film stock that required less light. Filming techniques included fragmented, discontinuous editing, and long takes. The combination of objective realism...

...Michael Poteet Poteet 1 Professor Lesser English 116 December 8, 2011 Comparisons and Dissimilarity of Love Octavio Paz, Franz Kafka, and Anton Chekhov, despite living in different eras and locations had similar sentience while going through many different experiences in life. This fact demonstrates the value of comparison but also the ability to contrast to understand life. Through “The Lady With the Dog”, “The Hunger Artist”, and “My Life With the Wave”, the reader is able to conclude: The stories while being decidedly different in diegesis’s also contain similarities in the symbolic contrivances used throughout all three stories Upon reading “The Lady with the Dog” by Chekhov the reader cannot help but sympathize with Anna and Dmitri. Sadly the timing of the relationship is unfortunate. The characters ultimately act in ignorance, because they do not find satisfaction in the relationships with their spouses so they choose to find it somewhere else. This is where are the pain the characters are feeling is coming from. Because sexual intimacy is so powerful and brings couples together into one “person” it causes so much pain for the couple because they have felt that feeling and cannot have it. They both meet their fate in love by finding their true match in one another, but very rarely do fate and timing coincide with one another, so they are forced to continually meet in secrecy through out the story.

...important induction technique for hypnosis. I will discuss the role of relaxation to prepare a client for hypnosis. Australian Aborigines have used hypnotic trance for thousands of years. It is also found in American Indian and Hindu culture (4). In the eighteenth century Franz Mesmer, the grandfather of hypnosis, used magnets then later electric rods to induce a mesmerised state for curing ailments. Eventually he used his hands and his own self described ‘animal magnetism’ in his treatment. Abba Faria described the effects of Mesmer’s work as not due to animal mesmerism but due to suggestions. Other scientists that worked and learned form Mesmer include the Marquis de Puysegur, who noted that his own subjects ‘fell asleep’, although he could still talk to and get replies from them. James Braid gave the term hypnosis to the practise, from the god of sleep, Hypno. Dr James Esdale performed operations under hypnosis in India but his work was unfairly treated with distain. Dr John Elliotson first demonstrated hypnosis in British medicine. His views were not popular. Dr Liebeault of France cured a patient of sciatica with hypnosis and this was first treated with contempt but on examination, Dr Bernheim, who had...

...The term French New Wave is also known as La Nouvelle Vague. It refers to the work of a group of French film-makers between the years 1958 to 1964. The film directors who formed the core of this group are François Truffaut, Jean-Luc Godard, Claude Chabrol, Jacques Rivette and Eric Rohmer. They all where once film critics for the magazine Cahiers du Cinéma. Other French directors, including Agnés Varda and Louis Malle, soon became associated with the French New Wave movement. They momentarily transformed French cinema and had a great impact on filmmakers throughout the world. During the late 1950s and early 1960s young film-makers in many countries were creating their own "new waves", but the new wave movement in France turned out to be the most influential. The French New Wave directors' background in film theory and criticism was a major factor in this. They changed notions of how a film could be made and were driven by a desire to forge a new cinema.The term ‘New Wave’ was coined by a journalist named Françoise Giroud who, in late 1957, wrote a series of articles on French youth for the weekly news magazine L’Express. The Cahiers du Cinéma critics were highly critical of the glossy, formulaic and studio-bound French cinema of the 1940s and 1950s, but praised the work of 1930s French film-makers Jean Renoir and Jean Vigo and the work of the Italian neo-realists, including Roberto Rossellini and Vittorio De Sica. They also championed certain Hollywood directors, for example...

...work centred on applying magnets to his patient’s bodies, his belief being that the body contained fluid that ebbed and flowed according to the laws of magnetism. Mesmer’s theories evolved over time, during the 18th and 19th century’s a number of prominent practitioners (Faria, Puysegur, Braid, Esdaile, Elliotson, Liebeault, Bernheim and Freud) studied, expanded and improved on Mesmer’s concepts and experiences. During this period the theory shifted from magnets and magnetic flows to psychological force, progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) and suggestive implants. Today’s hypnosis has developed even further through the greater use of technology and a far better understanding of the way the brain, the conscious and subconscious mind works. The Physical and Psychological aspects of Hypnosis The brain operates in four main wave cycle groups namely Beta (15 to 40 cycles per second), Alpha (9 to 14 cycles per second), Theta (4 to 8 cycles per second) and Delta (1 to 4 cycles per second). On a daily basis we move in and out of all of these brain wave sequences many times a day. Whilst we complete conscious tasks such as critical thinking, writing, reading, conversation and socialising, the brain is in Beta phase. The brain moves into Alpha when we are in a relaxed state feeling calm and a sense of good well-being. The Alpha frequency range bridges the gap between our conscious thinking (Beta) and the subconscious mind (Theta). Theta waves are present when an individual is involved...

...After reading the novel “The Wave” by Todd Strasser the theme of leadership was most prevalent because, without leadership, the book wouldn’t have taken the same course it did. Throughout the book, almost every character showed leadership. For example, when the wave started David showed leadership because he got the football team to practice like the wave did. Furthermore, when David told the football team about the wave, he told them with confidence and showed leadership qualities likes showing initiative. Likewise, Laurie showed leadership by exposing the negative side of the wave through her school newspaper “The Grapevine.” Moreover, this shows how leadership is such an important theme because without Laurie's leadership the book wouldn’t...
