...Derrick Dunker Justin Hampton English 102 February 12, 2013 Lucid Dreaming Not many people know exactly what this phenomenon consists of or even is. Lucid dreaming, just like regular dreaming, is a very fascinating and misunderstood occurrence. Supposedly you can harness it and use it to open up new doorways that you’ve never been able to imagine in your lifetime. Lucid dreaming is a very good way to escape and can actually be very eye opening. Why do I believe this? Let me explain through the research I’ve gathered. First things first, for those who don’t know what I’m talking about. Lucid dreaming is a phenomenon that occurs when the dreamer is in a dream and realizes that they are in fact in the dream state. Typically the reaction is as follows, the dreamer freaks out and feels as if they will be trapped in the dream for a prolonged amount of time. This is followed by an attempt to recall when they passed out and where they were when they did. Most of the time unless this person is an experienced lucid dreamer they won’t be able to recall these things. For those adventurous ones the next step is to begin creating. The universe is the limit, you can create anything you want, build giant skyscrapers from nothing, fly around like Neo from the matrix, turn into the hulk, etc. Their really is no limit to what a person can do while in the lucid dreaming state. Some of this I take from research and some from personal experience, the idea may seem far fetched but training can...

...In Other Words This book addresses the need for a systematic approach to the training of translators and provides an explicit syllabus which reflects some of the main intricacies involved in rendering a text from one language into another. It explores the relevance of some of the key areas of modern linguistic theory and illustrates how an understanding of these key areas can guide and inform at least some of the decisions that translators have to make. It draws on insights from current research in such areas as lexical studies, text linguistics and pragmatics to maintain a constant link between language, translation, and the social and cultural environment in which both language and translation operate. In Other Words examines various areas of language, ranging from the meaning of single words and expressions to grammatical categories and cultural contexts. Firmly grounded in modern linguistic theory, the book starts at a simple level and grows in complexity by widening its focus gradually. The author explains with clarity and precision the concepts and theoretical positions explored within each chapter and relates these to authentic examples of translated texts in a variety of languages, although a knowledge of English is all that is required to understand the examples presented. Each chapter ends with a series of practical exercises which provide the translator with an opportunity to test the relevance of the issues discussed. This combination of theoretical discussion and...

...Arabic Language is the cultural treasure that our ancestors have left for us. It is the heritage and legacy of our forefathers. This language is what really defines our identity and plays a major role in shaping our characters. It is one of the most popular languages around the world and most of world population value and praise this language. This language was always well known for its meaningful and powerful poetry and texts; therefore, it always had its own magic and power in free and full expression of any feelings. In this language you find miscellaneous synonyms for one word, so you never stop expressing yourself because you are stuck and you can’t find a suitable word. A lot of proponents of arabizi think that the purity of Arabic language shouldn’t be defended at all, and that it is ok to have a blend of the two languages in our Arabic communities. They consider this new trend as a new type of power possessed by the new generations. From their point of view this difference is what is going to make them achieve new goals and succeed in their upcoming challenges. The advocates of such an opinion look to the situation from a distinctive angle; they depend on several unique interpretations in their evaluation of the current situation. First of all, they claim that Arabic language isn’t that powerful outside the Middle Eastern region, so it would be useless to master this language solely. This way the new generations won’t be able to imposes their dominance over foreign...

...PERSONALITY EVALUATION CRITERIA AND TECHNIQUES Introduction 1. Personality is something that we informally evaluate and describe every day. When we talk about ourselves and others, we frequently refer to different characteristics of an individual's personality. Psychologists do the same thing when they evaluate personality, but on a much more systematic and scientific level. Personality testing refers to those techniques that are used accurately and consistently to measure personality. 2. Humans are precious asset for any organization. Recruitment and selection is costly effort in terms of money and time. Personality of employees effects their roles and responsibilities in the organization. The personality pattern has great influence on their work attitude. Evaluations of personality provide a measure of how an individual works with his colleagues, how he approaches towards tasks and change, how he communicates and how he deals with pressures. Differences between people in their behavior and mental approach make them more or less effective in different jobs. For instance, an outgoing person will tend to be more successful in a job that requires frequent interaction with other people. On the other hand, a less outgoing person tends to be more successful in a job that primarily involves independent work. Almost, all organization uses personality evaluations to match an individual’s skills to the job requirements or to find an organization fit person. Such evaluations identified...

I simply made the date as Saturday, but surprisingly, when I checked my calendar, May 23rd was really Saturday! Such a great coincidence! XD =+=+=+= Sunlight shone particularly bright that morning, awaking a girl from her precious sleep. The girl roared by a sudden flash on her face, deeply disturbed. Her one hand groped vigorously on her king-sized bed, while the other one trying to block her eyes from the blinding sunlight. "Blanket, blanket! Where's that stupid blanket?!" screamed the brunette on the bed. Finding no blanket on the bed, her hand reached a bolster and crushed it on her face. Her body relaxed as darkness covered her eyes again. She moved her legs to a more comfortable position, then continued her sleep. Not even a millisecond after, loud screeches of Crobat disturbed her again, making her to bury her head under a pillow to stifle the noise. After two dreadful minutes of burying, the brunette finally gave up. She gripped her bolster and tossed it roughly aside. "AAARGHH!" she shouted madly, grabbing a Crobat alarm on a white nightstand next to her bed. She peered through her left eye while yawning. 'Sat 23rd May 2009 07:01'. "WHAT? 07.01 AM? Curse whoever had set my alarm." she mentally cursed. Placing her alarm back to the nightstand, she groaned, "Cow-brain idiotic foolish stupid fatuous...

...Africa Poverty Africa is one of the poorest countries in the world. People that live there are having a hard time being able to have food and water to survive. According to 2011 poverty average, few African are getting affected with starvation and not able to afford any money for their families. Education and Medicine are a big factor in Africa. Students are not able to go to school without any one helping them pay for their education or medicate. These are just few things that are still going on today in Africa. African children’s are looking beyond all this as a test in their life to see how much they trust in their self then others to overcome all these problems. Poverty in Africa is always struggling to hold on every day to making a living in their life. A quote by Nelson states, “Overcoming poverty is not a gesture of charity, it is an act of justice” shows about how people are showing their love for others in time of troubles they are facing every day. (Mandela). He quote tells the whole story of how people are still living no matter what comes their way. Although they are struggling to hold on, they always keep themself strong for everything. There are people out in Africa who trust in God because without God, they would not know how they will be able to get up every day and walk. Today’s generation in Africa are always enjoying life no matter what the outcomes are in their lives. Seeing people that live there, it hurts that they don’t have...

...A B C LIFE = A Balance Christian Life (Colossians 3:18-21) “Wife, submit to your own husband, as is fitting in the Lord. Husband, love your wife and do not be bitter toward them. Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well pleasing to the Lord. Parents, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.” There are 4 areas in LIFE. Each of this area is not to be pursuit independently; but interdependent to each other; and that converge to a Central Object. What is this Central Object? It is our BELIEF; and that is FAITH in a Living GOD Our faith life is a marathon. It is a Divine Commitment to a lifelong spiritual race. Faith in God is the Central Concept of Christianity. One may be called a Christian only; if one has faith in God. Through faith there is a personal relationship with our God, our Father. In the O.T. the concept of faith is to ‘accept and believe’ God’s covenant; to trust in His Word that He alone is God and to commit one’s life to His promises for the present and future. The N.T. concept of faith is the same in principle. It is ‘have faith in God, and our Lord Jesus.’ Paul declared: “I know WHOM I have believed.” (2Timothy 1:12) He knows a PERSON, the Lord Jesus. He DID NOT say: I know WHAT I believed. That means, he did not believed just in Doctrine, Religion, and not even his own faith; but it is ‘believe and faith in Lord Jesus Christ’. Our God is a Sovereign God and also a Personal God. Even He controls the whole universe; but...
