...Fanny Brawne, Feminism and Bright Star. 1. Background: Historical view of Fanny Brawne 1. "A heartless flirt unworthy of a great poet": Fanny was historically painted as an insufferable flirt who cared nothing for Keats, using him for her own amusement while also "ruining" him. A. "an art-ful bad hearted Girl." (George Keats), "A cold and conventional mistress" (Joseph Severn), a "poor idle Thing of woman-kind" (John Hamilton Reynolds), "[she] was vain and shallow, she was almost a child; the gods denied her the ‘seeing eye,’ and made her unaware.” (Louise Imogen Guiney). Letters of a Critic and the publication of Keat's love letters. B. "To Fanny" used as argument for her "ruin" of the poet: Physician Nature! let my spirit blood! O ease my heart of verse and let me rest; [...] Who now, with greedy looks, eats up my feast? What stare outfaces now my silver moon! Ah! keep that hand unravished at the least; Let, let the amorous burn— But, prithee, do not turn The current of your heart from me so soon C. Vitriol levelled at Fanny similar to that seen towards the partner's of celebrities in modern days; compare to Dylan O'Brien and Britt Robertson. 2. "The unwed widow": The release of Fanny Brawne's letters to Fanny Keats from a private collection in 1939 led to a more sympathetic view of Fanny and her relationship with Keats. A. Sudden 180 led to very (overly)...

...EVAN 101-B23 LUO 10/10/11 Methods of Evangelism Paper Part ONE - Evangelistic Method #1 The Four Spiritual Laws is an intellectual method of evangelism, which, as it’s title suggests, identifies four spiritual laws that direct an individual’s relationship with God. It was created by Dr. Bill Bright, founder of Campus Crusade for Christ, in 1952. The four laws, as sited on CampusCrusade.com, are: (1) God loves you and offers a wonderful plan for your life. (2) Man is sinful and separated from God. Therefore, he cannot know and experience God’s love and plan for his life. (3) Jesus Christ is God’s only provision for man’s sin. Through Him you can know and experience God’s love and plan for your life. (4) We must individually receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord; then we can know and experience God’s love and plan for our lives. An advantage of this method is that it begins with positive note, “God loves you and offers a wonderful plan for your life,” which may cause non-Christians to be more receptive to the message. Due to the fall and sin, mankind is at variance with God (Ephesians 2:13-16) and there may be a tendency to reject a message concerning God without ever hearing the message. However, starting with such a positive introduction may cause an individual to “lower his guards” so he can hear the Gospel. Another advantage of this approach is that it can be easily communicated in print form and makes for a useful tract, especially considering the positive...

...Athabasca Falls are a small set of waterfalls situated in Jasper National Park. Before we get to the actual waterfall, let us venture a little further up the river, where the water is shallow, smooth and calm. The riverbank is lined with coniferous trees, suggesting a mountainous/sub-alpine Eco-district, and adding to the effect of calmness and peace we can sense when in that area. If we are really quiet, faint bird calls can be heard, and sometimes, the occasional chipmunk will venture too close and then scurry away, too frightened to come any closer. Moving along the river approaching the falls, we observe more and more rocks and rugged terrain, as well as fewer trees along the riverbank. The closer we get to the actual waterfall, faint sound that used to sound peaceful becomes a sound that announces something dangerous, like suspenseful music in a mystery movie. The falls themselves are rough and uncontrolled. The Athabasca River thunders through a narrow gorge where the walls have been smoothed and potholes are created by the sheer force of the rushing water carrying sand and rock, eroding everything below that happens to be in its path. Due to the fact that the water falls vertically down, and the rocks adjacent to the falls are composed of horizontal strata, if we stare at the water for a certain amount of time and then transfer our attention to the rocks, we get the impression that the rocks are moving in a wavelike pattern. Looking below the waterfall, the spray...

...The eye is a complex optical and a very interesting sense organ. They are at work from the moment you wake up to the moment you close them to go to sleep! Eyes take in tons of information about the world around you; shapes, colors, movements, and more! Throughout reading chapter three, I have learned so much about the eye and how it works! There are three aspects to the perception of light. One of these aspects is brightness, which is determined on how high or low the wave actually is. When the wave is higher, the brighter the light becomes or appears to be. The length of the wave determines the color. The long wavelengths are originated at the red end of the visible spectrum. The shorter ones appear at the blue side. The last aspect to perception is saturation. This refers to the clarity of the color people observe. A less-saturated red may contain a mixture of wavelengths, but a highly saturated red will only include red wavelengths. The eye is like a camera. The external object is seen like the camera takes the picture of any object. Light enters through a small hole called the pupil. It changes size depending on the amount of light there is. Light waves are bent by the cornea and focus the image on the retina, which is like a camera film that consists of photoreceptor cells. Fovea is the central area of the retina, which is the greatest density of photoreceptors. The image formed on the retina is transmitted to the brain by the optic nerve. When the optic...

...anterior chamber 2. What is visual accommodation? • This is adaptation of the eye for near vision. It is accomplished by increasing the curvature of the lens through movement of the ciliary muscles. Although the lens cannot be observed directly, the components of accommodation that can be observed are convergence (motion toward) of the axes of the eyeballs and pupillary constriction. 3. What is the pupillary light reflex? • The pupillary light reflex is the normal constriction of the pupils when bright light shines on the retina (Fig. 14-8). It is a subcortical reflex arc (i.e., a person has no conscious control over it); the sensory afferent link is cranial nerve II (the optic nerve), and the motor efferent path is cranial III (the oculomotor nerve). 4. What physiological changes are responsible for presbyopia? • On the globe itself, the cornea may show an infiltration of degenerative lipid material around the limbus (see discussion of arcus senilis, p. 307). Pupil size decreases. The lens loses elasticity, becoming hard and glasslike. This glasslike quality decreases the lens's ability to change shape to accommodate for near vision; this condition is termed presbyopia. 5. What is the corneal light reflex? How is it assessed? • Assess the parallel alignment of the eye axes by shining a light toward the person's eyes. Direct the person to stare straight ahead as you hold the light about 30 cm (12 inches) away...

...How to Be “Beautiful” (or something of that nature) Almost every supermarket and drugstore in America has one section filled with lights, mirrors, bright colors, new music, and hundreds of options. This section is commonly referred to as the beauty section, or what I like to call “the money hole.” Makeup industries oftentimes advertise their products so well that women will go to any extreme to get their hands on what they feel is the fountain of youth in a bottle. Countless amounts of creams, blushes, lipsticks, and bronzers all give women the promise of looking better than they naturally do, when in actuality, many women have never heard the phrase “less is more.” Society has moved past that stage, and the phrase “use every product you can find” is more applicable. Here is how to look “beautiful” today; which means abiding by the new and so-called improved phrase. Before stepping foot into the beauty section, look in the mirror and analyze what exactly needs to be corrected, whether it be a toucan nose, bug eyes, or ghostly white skin. Be sure to base all decisions off of the views and opinions of others, rather than your own thoughts. There is a product for each and every flaw, so be sure to look for them all. If needed, ask the opinions of enemies – they are always a very reliable source. Once all flaws are found and the inevitable tears are shed, head to the closest beauty store. Upon arrival at the store, head straight to the beauty section and find an associate...

...enters the brain, it must first pass through the retina in the back of the eye, which contains special photoreceptor cells called rods and cones (Kalat, 152). Rods help to see in dim light conditions, while cones are active in bright conditions and are used to see color (Kalat, 152). There are specific types of cones for different colors, such as red and blue cones (Lin & Tsai, 2015). After light is processed by these photoreceptors, it travels to the bipolar neurons of the retina and then to special ganglion cells whose axons come together to create the optic nerve (Kalat, 149). The ganglion...

...It had been a long time since I thought of anything as beautiful. All the years had blended together into muted colors and lonely thoughts. But one day I saw her, the first bright thing I had seen in a long time. She colored her hair into a bright purple and always seemed to be wearing a hoodie or sweater of some sort. I suppose that when I was part of the world I would have gone by her without a thought. But for some reason now her blue eyes, that looked through me, drew me to her. It was a week before I knew her name, Elizabeth. A regal name for a short plain girl with purple hair. I had started to follow her, not that anyone would actually know that I did it. In the first week of following Elizabeth I learned that she worked in a bookstore and a small cafe. She talked to her parents once a week and she hung out with her friends almost every day. She was single but not unhappy, more like she was fine just waiting for someone or no one. She loved cats and had one that she named Panther Lily after a show she liked to watch. In her free time Elizabeth liked to write and do crafts when she wasn’t with friends....

...a cataract formed? The lens of an eye is made up of water and protein. The protein is arranged in a way that keeps the lens clear and allows light to pass through. A cataract forms when some of the protein clumps together and begins to cloud a portion of the lens. Over time it grows larger and affects your vision. [pic] Change from a normal lens epithelium (A) through proliferating epithelial cells (B, C) to final subcapsular fibrous plaque and formation of a new continuous basement membrane (lens capsule) (D). [pic] Risk Factors • Age • Close relatives who have/had cataracts (family history) • Diabetes • Ionizing radiation exposure • Statins • Long-term exposure to bright sunlight • Long-term use of corticosteroids - many people with asthma rely on inhaled, and sometimes oral steroids, as do people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. A study conducted by the Centre for Vision Research, University of Sydney, Australia, revealed that cataract risk is higher for patients taking these medications • Previous eye inflammation • Previous eye injury • Exposure to lead • Crystallins loss of function - A specific type of protein (crystallins) begins to lose function as the eye ages. As the protein loses function, small peptides, made of 10 to 15 amino acids, start forming and accelerate cataract formation in the eye, a study revealed. ...

...Body Systems Preparation 2 We learned human eyes are spherical organs. Six small muscles attach the eye to the socket. According to Chiras(2013) “The wall of the human eye consists of three layers. The outermost is a durable, fibrous layer, which consists of the white off the eye(sclera). In front, this layer is clear and forms the cornea. The cornea lets light into the interior of the eye. The middle layer consists of cells containing a large amount of a dark pigment, known as melanin. In front, the pigmented layer forms the iris, the colored portion of the eye visible through the cornea. Looking in a mirror; you can see a dark opening in the iris called the pupil. The pupil allows light passing through the cornea to enter the eye. The blackness you see through the pupil is the pigmented region, just mentioned, and the pigmented section of the retina, discussed shortly. The iris contains smooth muscle cells. These cells contract and relax to adjust the amount of light entering the eye. When it is dark, for example, the muscles relax, which allows the pupils to dilate so more light enters. In bright light, just the opposite occurs. The innermost layer of the eye is the retina. The retina consist of an outer, pigmented layer and an inner layer consisting of photoreceptors. The photoreceptors of the retina are highly modified nerve cells that detect light. Two types of photoreceptors are present in the retina; rods and cones. The rods, so named because of...

...appear blurry. Myopia develops in eyes that focus images in front of the retina instead of on the retina, which results in blurred vision. This occurs when the eyeball becomes too long and prevents incoming light from focusing directly on the retina. It may also be caused by an abnormal shape of the cornea or lens. Myopia can affect both children and adults. Some of the signs and symptoms of myopia include: * Headaches * Eyestrain * Squinting * Difficulty seeing distant objects, such as highway signs Myopia can be corrected with eyeglasses and contact lenses and surgery. 2. Hyperopia/farsightedness: Hyperopia, also known as farsightedness, is a common type of refractive error where distant objects may be seen more clearly than objects that are near. Hyperopia develops in eyes that focus images behind the retina instead of on the retina, which can result in blurred vision. This occurs when the eyeball is too short, which prevents incoming light from focusing directly on the retina. It may also be caused by an abnormal shape of the cornea or lens. Hyperopia can affect both children and adults. The symptoms of hyperopia vary from person to person. But some common signs and symptoms of hyperopia are very similar to Myopia which are: * Headaches * Eyestrain * Squinting * Blurry vision, especially for close objects 3.

...Donald March 30, 2011 Nursing 2249 Sensorineural Disorder: Glaucoma Blindness is defined as the loss of usual site. One of the leading causes of blindness is Glaucoma. In ancient Greek, glaucoma meant “clouded” or a blue-green hue. It is now defined as a “progressive” optic neuropathy with characteristic structures in the optic nerve head and functual changes in the visual field. If left untreated irreversible blindness is inevitable. Increased ocular pressure is a function of the production of aqueous humor by the ciliary processes of the eye. This fluid flows through the pupil of the iris into the anterior chamber. Eventually, the iris is pushed forward against the trabecular meshwork, blocking fluid from escaping. The clinical manifestations include: gradual vision deterioration, peripheral vision deterioration, blurred vision, sensitivity to light, halos around bright lights, mild eye pain, nausea and headaches to name a few. The client interviewed reported that this disease lead to his blindness and he adapted to his new way of life by beginning a web page. He is also learned the Braille system and has voice activated response on a home computer that allows him to communicate and continue with his life. Although glaucoma can affect any race, African Americans over 40 and people with a family history are more susceptible. Similarly, some Asians have narrower anterior chambers and are far more prone to acute glaucoma at a...
