...the strengths and weaknesses of this model, and this author’s plan to integrate information from the book into a personal theory of Christian counseling. Hart describes anxiety as “a disease of stress” that can result in a multitude of physical and emotional symptoms and illnesses (p. 139). They include panic and panic attacks, post traumatic stress disorder, adrenaline exhaustion, and obsessive compulsive disorder (p. 9-10) Anxiety strikes the strong and leaders among us, male and female, young and old, day or night (p. 37, 42). Anxiety is a warning to change our fast-paced, adrenaline pumping, stress-filled lifestyle (p. 3, 144-145). Scientific understanding of anxiety begins in the brain where neurotransmitters send information resulting in emotional responses (p. 19-20). Hart teaches that stress robs us from “happy messengers” or neurotransmitters that keep us tranquil. Balance between happy (GABA) and sad messengers (Cortisol) is determined by levels of stress which causes a chemical imbalance allowing anxiety to dominate. Prolonged stress causes a biochemical change that can start a panic attack. Hart insists that in order to be free from panic, the right medications must be used, stress must be lowered by changes in thinking and lifestyle, and relaxation must be learned (p. 23-26, 39). Hart also teaches that laughter, rest and relaxation, a positive outlook, Sabbath rest, finding life’s purpose, and meditation enhance the natural tranquilizers in the brain...

...In his book, Act One: An Autobiography, Moss Hart says, “The theater is an inevitable refuge of the unhappy child.” (Hart, p 10, 1959) This theory, coming from a man who created some of Broadway’s brightest and most memorable musical comedies, represents a duality that is crucial to understanding his life and its works. While he was notorious for his extravagant belongings and spending indulgences, reaping the spoils from his place at the pinnacle of the world he’d always obsessed over, Hart also suffered from massive bouts of depression and self-doubt. (Wolcott) If his lifetime worth of work that brought people such joy really was a result of experiencing the lowest of personal lows, it may shed light into why he was such a tireless worker throughout his thirty year career on Broadway. Moss Hart was born October 24, 1904 in the Upper East Side of Manhattan in New York City, New York. His parents, immigrants of England, worked as cigar makers and had their dreams of a better life in a new country dashed not long after moving to America with the introduction of the machine manufactured cigar. (Teachout, p 90, 2010) Hart would frequently joke that he was, “Born on Fifth Avenue… on the wrong end.” While some might look back on a hard upbringing with gratitude and appreciation, even as he grew very rich Hart always viewed his impoverished childhood with contempt and disgust. (Aronson, p 170, 1995) He described it in his autobiography as growing up with, “the dark brown taste...

...To Brooklyn Bridge" is the opening section of Hart Crane's most famous poem, The Bridge. Crane's masterpiece is one of the most beautiful and influential American literary works of the first half of the 20th century. It is a poem that defies easy description, at once mystical, romantic, bewildering, witty, secretive, and soaring. That's a lot of adjectives, but as you'll soon see, Crane loves adjectives. Crane labels "To Brooklyn Bridge" a prelude, or "Proem," that will introduce the themes of The Bridge. And if we had to slap a big ol' English AP-test theme word on the whole poem, it would be "Unity," or even, "Mystic Unity." With the whole "Unity" idea, Crane is taking a cue from Walt Whitman, the great 19th-century American poet whose "Crossing Brooklyn Ferry" was a direct influence on The Bridge. For Crane, as for Whitman, Brooklyn Bridge is a symbol of a manmade structure that can join together the fractured parts of society. The Brooklyn Bridge was finished in 1883. At that time, it was the longest suspension bridge in the world, an architectural and engineering marvel. For Crane, the bridge provides a symbol for the possibility of redeeming the modern world from the chains of money and commerce. Published in 1930, The Bridge was panned by many for being too darned difficult and wordy. We'll say it straight up: this poem, like much of Crane's work, is incredibly difficult in the sense of, "What the heck is this guy even talking about?" But the payoff is worth it, because...

In 2010, I was asked to take over the Demo program, meaning to monitor the inventory that was being issued out to Reps (who than used the inventory to close big deals and/or to gain business). Days into my new duty I noticed that the amount of merchandise being issued out was not being returned and/or lost. Reps were not being held accountable for the devices and there was no way to track how much inventory was being issued to each Rep. I knew this was becoming a problem and needed to be addressed immediately, so I emailed my supervisor and asked to have a one-on-one to discuss possible resolutions. During our meeting, I presented him with a Past Due Report, which would keep track of who checked out what inventory, their reporting manager, their associate director and the dollar amount of all equipment that was out in the field. I explained how the report would create responsibility, structure and the opportunity to be more successful for all who was actively involved with this program. Accountability.

...H.L.A. HART Thesis: Individual laws may coincidentally have some slight link to what is moral; yet, a legal system, when viewed in its entirety, has no connection to morality. In a general sense, laws in a legal system do not always have a punishment for disobedience; however, there must be consequences for the disobedience of particular laws. Key Claims: The legal system must outline how rules and laws are interpreted with relation to a specific case; this is a fundamental concept that must be present to ensure the success of a law. Should this fundamental guideline fail to be met, the only force that would ensure the abiding of this law is a coercive one; even then, there is no moral obligation to obey the law that failed to meet one of...

...ENGLISH Tell Tale Hart Notes: Poe creates tension in several ways. First, his use of the first person narrator helps build suspense. For example, right away our narrator address the reader, "True! -- nervous -- very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad?" Here the reader is drawn right in to the story and its tension. The reader must decide is the man really mad? Is he reliable? What can be believe and what might be lies? All of these put the reader on edge. Next, Poe's syntax, or word choice, is another way he creates tension. It is written as if the narrator is confessing to us. His uses of repetition and asides again draws the reader in and helps build suspense. Poe also uses plot structure to create tension. Look at the scene where our narrator spies on the old man at night. Our narrator slowly opens the door a crack and each night after a little farther until the light falls on the man's face. Then when he finally is about to enter, after the eighth night, the man wakes up and startles our narrator. What tension! Also, look at the methodical nature with which the narrator goes about covering up his crime. That builds tension. Finally, look at the narrator's arrogance. How he seats himself right over the old man's body buried in his floor boards. The reader cannot help but wonder will he get away with it? Will he crack? Is he insane? What will happen? ================================================================== ...

... 1 What is the nature of Law? What is the Law? Does humanity have any regard for laws?Do all societies have the same laws? The answer to these questions, are thought to have two competing answers. The classical answer is provided by natural law theory, which is frequently characterized as asserting that there is an essential relationship between law and morality or justice. The modern answer is provided by legal positivism, which, as developed by John Austin, asserted that law is the command of the sovereign backed by the threat of punishment. Arguments over the nature of law focus on a revised set of positions. Legal positivism is represented by analytic legal positivists, like H.L.A. Hart, Joseph Raz, and Jules Coleman. The natural law tradition is defended by John Finnis. And a new positition,interpretivism is represented by Ronald Dworkin. The "What is law?" question has been approached by contemporary legal philosophers who have over many decades attempted to define the term. For example, the sociological tradition includes important work on the nature of law by Max Weber and Niklas Luhmann. . Natural law theory is strongly associated with classical and medieval thought, especially Aristotle, Roman jurisprudence, and St. Thomas Aquinas. There are several challenges associated with the task of explicating natural law theory, and one of the most important tasks of this introductory entry is simply to identify these challenges...

He conducts groundbreaking research into the nature of drug addiction and often swims against the mainstream, using empirical data to rein in the hyperbole and hysteria that often is associated with certain drugs.

...First of all, all the actors at this play were awesome, but there is one actor that took my attention to her performance. Personally I really like the comedian actors, such as, Kevin Hart and Haley. Haley performance changed the whole play. Indeed, she added to the play the comedy sense by her face expressions and reaction. For example, when the actors were preparing the stage to starts a new scene she made the audience laugh because she was acting funny, such as she throws a can on the ground to force someone to pick it up, also she was walking in a weird way in a front of the audience which made them laugh. Haley, made the audience laughing even when the actors were preparing to starts a new scene, and that did not make me as one of the audience to feel bored between each scene. Secondly, after all what happened to Leigh. She was going to break up with her boyfriend Jimmy, and she said Davis raped her when they were at the party. Furthermore, Davis could not complete his study because he gets suspended, and every one of the group did not know who is telling the truth because Davis said he could not remember anything that Leigh said. When Davis came to Leigh apartment so he can just talk to her about that night, because he is really cannot remember anything she said. I thought she will starts crying while she is telling him the story, but what...

...Poetry Moment “PoMo” Nights by Kevin Hart Analysis by Sarrah Taouil This poem is about the struggles in life, the ups and downs, the side to side, the zig zags, and twirls, the wind that knocks you down, the hands that help you up, it is in all about life, and that whatever life throws at you, you should never give up, no matter if you think there’s a path for you or not, because truly, there is always a path for you, this poem teaches you to still be positive about life even when it gets hard, and to not take things for granted. The line from the first stanza, line 2 says “The stars tonight are rich and cold” showing an image of light in the middle of darkness; at this point I would like to quote Albus Dumbledore, “Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light”. This poem has and shows hope. Hope, I would say is one of the main themes, if not, the main theme of the poem. It shows that there is always another path waiting for you, as long as you’re brave, believe in yourself, and have hope. This poem is about a character having a hard time choosing the right path, trying to figure life out. There is some imagery and metaphors in...
