.... by sitting in his backyard and imagining everything coming to life.^2 He thought about all the “what if” possibilities. But this method of storytelling can be used in much more subtle and/or sophisticated ways than in science fiction or fantasy novels. Through such works as the short story Dreams and the novel “Headhunter” by Timothy Findley, the film “the Matrix”, and the short story the Telltale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe, one can see how a writer can use the concept of the imaginary invading reality to write their story. In Dreams, by Timothy Findley, the main characters, two married psychiatrists named “the doctors Marlo”, have a fairly normal marr ....

.... of the word is defeat, downfall, and resignation. The word ‘beat’ was primarily in use after World War II by jazz musicians and hustlers as a slang term for down and out, poor and exhausted. The word as used by a Times Square hustler named Herbert Huncke came to the attention of William Burroughs. The word was passed on through Burroughs on to Allen Ginsberg and a friend named Jack Kerouac. Ginsberg, hearing Huncke use the word in the original street slang usage, felt that the word meant “exhausted, at the bottom the world, looking up or out, sleepless, wide-eyes, perceptive, rejected b society, on your own, streetwise.” Kerouac was completely captivated by t ....

.... and routine, not to mention quite lonely at certain times. Yet others argue Victorian children should have been quite content, given the fact that they were treated to only the best of toys, clothes and education and it was absurd to even consider the child being neglected. Mothers and Fathers were seen as special, glamourous guests, due to the fact that they were never around and rarely seen by their children. This was because child and parent led totally separate existences, they were only summoned to appear before their parents at a certain set hour of the day. Many Victorian children like Winston Churchill and Harriet Marden recall such cold relations betwe ....

.... debtor must hand over his property, with a few exclusions, to the creditor, and if this does not cover what he owes the creditor, then every time the debtor acquires new assets, he pays the creditor until he no longer owes him anything. According to Halacha there is a way for the debtor to be discharged. This is through “Yeush”. This term denotes that this is the point where a person no longer believes he will recover the object he has lost. In this case, the creditor loses hope of being paid back the money the debtor owes him. Therefore the debtor is free from his obligation to pay the creditor. According to some poskim, yeush does not discharge the debtor, unless ....

.... achieved is through hard work and sweat. However, that is not how it works, because most people around the world lie to get things to go their way. A perfect example of a group of people that use the rhetoric are politicians. Politicians will say and do anything to convince the citizens that they are right, and that they will do all they promise to do, if you vote for him or her. They try to convince us all the time, and often succeed, that they will make changes. Just think about the many times we've heard, "If you vote for me, I will lower the taxes." Gorgias makes a very clear point regarding the power of the rhetoric. The following quote from Gorgias expre ....

.... of foot patrol. The downside to the political era was that the police got its authority from the politics and the law, the close tie with politics posed as a problem. “In New York, for example, the first chief of police could not dismiss officers under his command. The tenure of the chief was limited to one year. Consequently, any early New York cop who was solidly supported by his alderman and assistant alderman could disobey a police superior with virtual impunity. So while the British were firing bobbies left and right for things like showing up late for work, wearing disorderly uniforms, and behaving discourteously to citizens, American police were assaulting su ....

.... he then asked them a series of questions that were designed to make them concede on another point that contradicted the first one. It was through this sequence of questions that Socrates proved that what the other person believed he knew was either false, or that there were other possibilities to consider. He publicly made fools of some of Athens most prominent figures, and for this he was not looked upon very highly by the city. One of the best examples of Socrates’ method occurred while he was standing trial for believing against the norm. He was his own defense and put Meletus, his accuser, on the stand and asked him a series of questions. He first convinces Meletus to ....

.... together in his garage, after he saw his daughter trying to go down a hill on a sled standing up. It consisted of two of children skis strapped together, with some doweling on the top for foot attraction. His daughter took it to the local sledding hill, and soon enough all the kids wanted one. He and his wife in the next ten years sold one hundred thousand of these contraptions for 15 dollars a piece. with new improvements such as a string at the tip for balance and a more stable base, it was dubbed the "Snurfer", a mix with snow and surfer, because of its no-binding surf style of riding. Another pioneer was Dimitrije Milovich, a surfer from the east coast. He made his inve ....
