EarthBound

explore and build up what we know. Investing more in space exploration could give us advancements in technology, it could create scientific breakthroughs, and could be the solution to many of Earth's present problems. For a long time men have been Earthbound, so in 1957 getting a person to space would be the mission for the United States and the Soviet Union. The Soviets beat the U.S. in 1961 sending the first human into space. Yuri Gagarin was the cosmonaut chosen out of the millions who applied. He

Small vs. Large The general public sees any type of organic food as being produced “straight out of a backyard garden” or “right off of the family farm”. But is it really freshly picked tomatoes right out of Grandma Mae’s garden or chicken breast from a local farm? If the food purchased is from Whole Foods or the organic section at Walmart, then that probably is not the case. Large organic farms are what usually supply Whole Foods and other larger chain stores that have organics. They are not what

While romance isn’t my forte, a fortunate few couples in arguably real deal TF connections offered me some valuable insights in the effort to create this week’s series on Soul Mates and Twin Flames, including this brief on the Signs of Twin Flame Connections. Before we begin, I must say this: these incarnations are rare in the physical realm, and the majority of the time when such meetings occur – it’s far too much to handle if even one partner is not on the right path to ascension. Sometimes, you

Some people think that space exploration has no values, but according to John Kennedy “ So research in space medicine holds the promise of substantial benefit for those of us who are earthbound.” This evidence shows that people may think that space exploration doesn’t have values but it could tremendously help us with medical research. JFK made another valid point stating that “ Whatever the difficulties, they will be overcome.” This information

This afternoon's Swan Lake was a bit of a mixed bag. I've been a big admirer of Teuscher, but her recent comments in the NYT about her strengths/weaknesses in this ballet were reflected in her performance today. Her Odette doesn't really luxuriate in the poses, and her arabesques aren't particularly attractive. She tended to snap into a pose and then immediately come out of it. Quite a few of her developees were very low and somewhat clipped; others looked fine. She seems to lack flexibility in her

Nick Flynn’s “Cartoon Physics, part 1” is a satiric poem that brings humor but yet a dark tone. The speaker of the poem is giving his thoughts about how a child should view life. He highlighted his thoughts through a series of imageries that focused on cartoon’s impossible physics. The theme of his poem is giving a warning to parents that a child should live without knowing the harsh realities of life. His sarcastic tone brings his thoughts full circle. Children should keep their innocence. Flynn’s

Ode to the West Wind Explication Percy Bysse Shelley’s Ode to the West Wind is a dramatization of man’s useless and “dead thoughts” (63) and Shelley’s desire from the Autumn wind to drive these “over the universe” (65) so that not only he but man can start anew. The thoughts are first compared to the leaves of trees but as the poem progresses the thoughts are paralleled with the clouds and finally the “sapless foliage of the ocean” (40). Shelley personifies himself with the seasons of the Earth and

Horror films Movies have been growing increasingly more explicit for years. Horror films are no longer based on a cleverly written script with lots of twists and turns, but rather how graphic and twisted the images are throughout the movie. Horror films are appealing to viewers for various reasons. In fact, according to some film critics, “good” horror films have particular characteristics. Maggie McCutcheon in “Too Disturbing, Too Shocking,” According to Olson, people particularly enjoy experiencing

Macbeth expresses his traits of hubris and hamartia when he is too naive to realize that the Great Birnam Wood can not travel to high Dunsinane Hill. As seen in this quote, “That will never be / Who can impress the forest, bid the tree / Unfix his earthbound root?” (Mac.4.1.108-110). This expresses Macbeth's hubris and hamartia because he believes that the witches are telling him that the literal forest will have to move, but in reality, the witches are talking about when the soldiers move from Birnam

Will we ever be able to time travel? Why would anyone even want to when people have to consider possible paradoxes that time travelers may encounter. Time travel would open a “Pandora’s Box,” and one that once it is open we will not be able to put the lid back on. The universe came to be from a primordial singularly known as the big bang. At around 13.799 ± 0.021 billion years the universe began to expand, and that continues to this day. Albert Einstein developed the theory of relativity over a
