...Pines family sound asleep inside. Dipper was too riled up from what he had survived the night before. Those wretched sinister cruel hands, taking away what innocence he had left from the summer in gravity falls. He turned and thrashed as he attempted to forget the burning sensation of the cipher's clammy hands dancing across his pale tainted skin. His boxers irritated the trail of scratches down his legs. His nerves reenacted every precise gesture made apon him. Every thoroughly planned out gesture along his face and body, etched into reality in the form of scars and bruises. The way the dream demon gazed at him with those piercing golden eyes. How could an individual of such wickedness have such a calm, soft demeanor. Not as if he was torturing his victim, but simply enjoying him; All of him, as if dipper...

...It was a new house, of course I was going to be nervous. As I sat up to go get a glass of water, I heard something scurry across the hallway. My whole body froze, it was like I was paralyzed. There was no way I was going out there, who knew what that sound was! I quickly sprung up and frantically locked my door, stumbling back to my bed. I knew I was being paranoid but Elijah seemed a little strange, and he always seemed to be watching me. After a restless night I walked out into the kitchen, I saw Elijah just standing next to the window, staring out at the empty backyard. He looked frozen, like he was stuck in a trance. He slowly turned to me and a sinister smile came over his face. His eyes seemed to turn completely white, the ends of his lips curling in such a manner, my heart to pop out of my chest.I ran to my room and reached for the lock, but it was broken. Someone ripped out the new door handle I had put in, I looked back to see Elijah sitting on the couch, like nothing happened. “Oh good morning!I thought you were still asleep. There's some coffee on the counter, help yourself.” I slowly nodded unable to comprehend everything that just happened. Although I was craving coffee, I didn’t know if I could trust what he had...

...Smiling at his friend foolishness, he got to work. About an hour has passed and Stiles was now awake and was aiding Scott with the shelter. “ What should we do now”, Stiles asked, weaving a twig with a branch. “ I don't know, we can do whatever we want” Stiles still didn't know what to do. He wasn't that much of an adventurous type, considering his dad was the town's sheriff. “ You mean, we can do anything we want”, Stiles replied while rubbing his neck. Turning his attention back to his friend, he sent him a mischievous smirk. Turing his body to face Stiles he replied, “ Anything Stiles, and I mean anything.” The two best friends have done nothing but explore their new, maybe, forever home. They were having the time of their life, but Stiles being, well, Stiles, decided that they needed some ground rules. Scott just went along with it for the sack of his sanity. “ We have to Agree on things before doing anything irresponsible.” “Ok.” “ We each...

How do you not know how to change a tire!?...and like anyone noticed but you.” Bree comes back in the room and yells “No one noticed!?That teacher still holds that against me!” Marcus laughingly says “Well he can shove it up his ass!” Bree sarcastically says “Hey don’t cuss!” Marcus peaks out of the bathroom putting on his shirt saying “fine, just go get the car started” A few minutes later in the car on the road Bree asks “Wait...this is not the way to the way to school.” Marcus replies “very good detective work Sherlock” Bree with a tid bit of attitude goes “but I need to go to school!” Marcus...

[Source: Shostrom, E. L. (1965). Three approaches to psychotherapy (Part I)[Film]. Orange, CA: Psychological Films.] GLORIA DR. CARL ROGERS PART I -- DESCRIPTION OF SYSTEM [Before the Interview] "From my own years of therapeutic experience, I have come to feel that if I can create the proper climate, the proper, relationship, the proper conditions, a process of therapeutic movement will almost inevitably occur in my client. You may ask, 'What is this climate? What are these conditions? Will they exist in the interview with the woman I am about to talk with, whom I have never seen before?' Let me try to describe very briefly what these conditions are as I see them. First of all, one question is, can I be real in the relationship? This has come to have an increasing amount of importance to me over the years. I feel that genuineness is another way of...

I’m the new Biological Secretary of the Royal Society, and I’m pressure biochemistry in-in Cambridge. Ah, the other thing I’ve been asked to do, ah, before I have the pleasure of chairing this lecture, is to ask you all to switch your mobiles off if you would please. And, also to tell you that, ah, this lecture will be recorded and, ah, webcast. So, this is the, uh, Francis Crick, uh, prize lecture, um, we’re about to hear. This was established in, uh, 2003 through an endowment by, uh, Dr. Sydney Brenner, commander of honor and, ah, fellow of the Royal Society, who was the joint winner of the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 2002. The lecture is delivered annually in any field of biological sciences, but preference is given to the general areas in which Francis Crick himself worked—uh, genetics, molecular biology, and neurobiology. And you’ll see that this, ah, evening’s speaker is imminently well-suited to talk to us. So, the Francis Crick lecturer, ah, for this year is Dr. Simon Fisher. Dr. Fisher is, ah, a Royal Society, ah, research fellow, um, so he’s, ah, a fellow of one of our flagship, ah, schemes for young scientists in the society, and he’s also reader in molecular and neuroscience in Oxford at the Welcomme Trust Centre for Human Genetics.

...1937 OF MICE AND MEN by John Steinbeck Copyright John Steinbeck, 1937. Copyright renewed by John Steinbeck, 1965. Published by arrangement with Viking Penguin, a division of Penguin Books USA Inc. ONE A few miles south of Soledad, the Salinas River drops in close to the hillside bank and runs deep and green. The water is warm too, for it has slipped twinkling over the yellow sands in the sunlight before reaching the narrow pool. On one side of the river the golden foothill slopes curve up to the strong and rocky Gabilan Mountains, but on the valley side the water is lined with trees- willows fresh and green with every spring, carrying in their lower leaf junctures the debris of the winter's flooding; and sycamores with mottled, white, recumbent limbs and branches that arch over the pool. On the sandy bank under the trees the leaves lie deep and so crisp that a lizard makes a great skittering if he runs among them. Rabbits come out of the brush to sit on the sand in the evening, and the damp flats are covered with the night tracks of 'coons, and with the spread pads of dogs from the ranches, and with the split-wedge tracks of deer that come to drink in the dark. There is a path through the willows and among the sycamores, a path beaten hard by boys coming down from the ranches to swim in the deep pool, and beaten hard by tramps who come wearily down from the highway in the evening to jungle-up near water. In front of the low horizontal limb of a giant sycamore there is an ash...

He's sitting in the armchair, the one that isn't facing you, and you can only see one of his arms hanging over the side. You hesitate because you don't really have enough gut to go any further. You were really late, and you thought for sure that he'd be asleep, because sane people were usually in bed by eleven, and it's 2 a.m. But no, the asshole had to sit around and wait up for you, probably drinking himself to all hell, and, yeah, that's alcohol you can smell in the air, which is great, just great. You guess it's pretty sad, though, because you can see two untouched boxes of pizza on the table, and there's Hitch, your favorite movie of all time, sitting right there on top of them. He probably planned out a whole evening of bonding, and suddenly you feel like the worst son on the entire planet, because you actually kind of are. You are the worst, it's you. Crap.

...FGD TRANSCRIPT Jagrika Q1. What is the first word comes to your mind when I say the word ‘religion’? G: faith F: faith E: I think the word religion is derived from the Latin word ‘religiō’ which means faith, to seek, to try to pursue. B: peace A: belief C: faith D: It is a way to the upper life. H: I think religion is a stigma forced upon children when they are to young to understand the concept. M: can you just sum all of this up in one word? H: forceful; Q2. How does each one of you define religion and what constitutes of religion? E: I think religion is a set of belief that is followed by an individual that according to him probably leads to a Supreme Being or power. What constitutes it, ummm… lets say: faith, belief. It serves as a moral compass for human beings. It is a sort of guideline. For me there are two extremes: heaven and hell. Hell indicates the bad and heaven is for the good. The preacher who actually came up with this idea wanted us to maintain the delicate balance and stay in the center. So yeah, it is a guideline for me. G: it is probably a way of life. Our faith tells us how to live our life, keeping in mind the afterlife M: And what constitutes it? G: my religion has five basic pillars: shahada (faith) which is the declaration stating that there is only one god, the Allah, the creator of all beings; salat (prayer); charity; fasting and pilgrimage. G: i think it is a way to live our life E: yeah, but that’s kind of...

...Lovers Or Friends “Wake up Eric time to go to school its your first day, don't want you to be late on your first day of school” Eric mom yelled. “Coming mom” said Eric, “Wait one second and let me put on my shirt” Eric added. The bus pulled up in front of the white picket fence house and Eric is still not ready so he grabs his comb, brush, and his book bag and rush onto the bus. Everyone on the bus starred at Eric as he walked up the three black and dirty stairs. “C'mon boy sit down so we can leave to head to school” the rude bus driver said. Eric didn't know who to sit by because he was new to the school and obviously he thinks no one is going to talk to the new kid. He walked down the hallway as these two light skin boys both wearing fitted jeans and an Hollister shirt one was wearing green and the other wearing a bright yellow color and both wearing all white jordans looking like a pack of sour skittles. As he passed them 1 they started laughing hysterically, as Eric looked at them with a little smirk on his face, one of the boys says to Eric “what are you wearing,them bad ahh reebok and them bad ahh cargos, school Boy”! Eric sat down by himself in the seat behind the two boys. They reached atthe huge, white school building. He got of the bus quickly as possible until then the two boys pushed him out of his way so they could walk he walked through. He had a mean mug on his face like he wanted to punch them in their faces but it’s the first...
