    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

    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.

    Personal Narrative – Atheist I didn't ask for the pastor to come over. I would have much rather been left alone to watch daytime TV. True, I was beginning to feel I little isolated, but some sissy-voiced holy man I hardly knew wasn't going to make me feel any better. But it was standard policy to notify the church when one of its fold has been hospitalized, for prayer requests and all that mush, and when the pastor heard that I was already home, he felt obligated to visit, as if seeing my swollen

    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
