Split pea

Happy New Year! May you have real peace of mind, lasting joy and steadfast love of family and friends the whole year through and many more years to come! Many people like to count down to welcome the New Year, but I have stopped attending countdown parties for years and always wonder why people love the countdown. Maybe it is the euphoria that drinks and partying bring; maybe it is the kindred spirits, goodwill and companionship; maybe it is the opportunity to start afresh and set goals not attained

Additionally, with Byron’s use of the split infinitive, the line mimics the excitement of conversation rather than the seriousness of prose, allowing the reader to feel a larger emotional response. Anne Curzan states that one of the largest myths about standard English is that it always makes sense. She uses split infinitives as an example for this myth, as there is no clear explanation for where the rule came from. However, despite some speakers proclamations against split infinitives, Curzan (and Pullum

There are many things that repeat in the book The Catcher in the Rye by J. Salinger, but maybe the most important of them all is the Red hunting hat that Holden buys when he is visiting New York. The red hunting hat symbolizes the protective shield that Holden has put up and he uses the hat when he is feeling especially vulnerable. This is in my opinion what the core of the book is about, Holden’s loneliness and his ways of dealing with it. Holden doesn’t just randomly buy the hat in New York but

Victoria Moraga Class 8 To all the high school seniors about to graduate, I first want to start off by saying you should be proud of yourself. There are plenty of people who never get to graduate from high school so don't take it lightly. Not only did you suffer through years of countless tests and pointless homework, but you also made it through the bullies, the breakups, and the endless drama. Don’t pretend it wasn’t a battlefield out there. If there’s one thing that I learned, it is that

(Sybil walks into the living room and sees a bouquet of flowers and a card. She is by herself.) Sybil: (reads card aloud) The peanut to my butter, the red to my rose, you’ll always be my best girl. Sybil: Caspar is so sweet. Sybil sits on the couch smelling the flowers. (Caspar walks in) Sybil: I love you so much babe. (hugs tightly) Casper: I love you too. (questionably) What’s got you in such a good mood? You’re never this happy in the morning. Sybil: You silly. You’re just the best. I really

As the idiom goes (paraphrased), "the apple -- ahem, bottom -- doesn't fall far from the tree." http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000586/ Jada Pinkett Smith has an amazing body and, by all accounts, is aging gracefully. One can argue that Will Smith is one lucky man to have a wife with a tantalizing body like Jada's. Much of the thanks goes to the "Girls Trip" star's mom, Adrienne Banfield-Jones. At 64, Pinkett Smith's mother has a Jada-esque body -- but times 10 to the second power, so to speak.

Abstract Mead & Hampson (1996) developed a study involving the divided visual field paradigm and a phonological rhyme/non-rhyme task to test the speed and accurateness of either side of the brain. This study was used to investigate functional asymmetry between the left and right hemispheres in phonological processing. The research was taken out equally on 15 male and 15 females London Metropolitan University students ranging from ages 18 – 35 years old. They were all specifically chosen to

Transference and counter transference is one of most important aspects of treatment between patient and practitioner. In a clinical setting we do not always have the opportunity to have consecutive treatments with the same patient and as a result may not be able to acknowledge or notice these occurrences. It is not often that I have the opportunity to see a patient on a regular basis or even twice for that matter. As a result, it is not possible for me to notice or recognize any transference that

Why your brand should be on Snapchat… When Snapchat first launched, it quickly gained a lot of bad press. In 2014, 4.6million of its user’s personal details were leaked, with usernames and partial phone numbers being made available online. This was in addition to the controversy already being created by users who latched onto the ‘quick photo gone forever’ premise to share their personal moments… unfortunately for the app, it didn’t take long for others to recognise the ease of a screenshot. Suddenly

We never hear about what happens to the surviving boys after the events of Lord of the Flies. There are many things that can be dedused from what we read in the story. They could be sick and twisted, happy and forgetful, depressed and suicidal, aggressive and homicidal. They could lead completely normal lives or they could lead lives full of stress and anger. Two great examples the boys we could predict lives for are Ralph and Jack. In the future, maybe Jack is abusive, or maybe evil, and maybe,
