...Acupuncture Acupuncture originates from China and has been practiced there for thousands of years. Although there are records of acupuncture being used hundreds of years ago in Europe, it was during the second half of the twentieth century. Acupuncture started to spread rapidly in Western Europe, United States, and Canada. It does have some therapeutic benefits, including pain relief and alleviation from nausea caused by chemotherapy. You don't need Chinese philosophy either to make it work, or to practice it. The Chinese have developed complex theories and philosophies of acupuncture that form the foundation of their traditional medical system. Without argument, they were the most influential in developing this unique form of medicine into what it is today. Acupuncture works in many different ways on a human body. Acupuncture involves the insertion of very thin needles through the patient’s skin at specific points on the body the needles are inserted to various depths. Acupuncture points are seen by Western practitioners as places where nerves, muscles and connective tissue can be stimulated. Acupuncture practitioners say that the stimulation increases blood flow while at the same time triggering the activity of our own body's natural painkillers. Through 350 acupuncture points in the body, these meridians and energy flows may be accessed. Illness is said to be the consequence of an imbalance of the forces. If needles are inserted into these points with appropriate combinations...

...Hace algunos meses me despedí de ese primer amor, que le quitó la inocencia a mi corazón, rompiéndolo en pedazos. Porque volví a enamorarme, a verme la cara de tonta. Le dije adiós a las penas, a los malos recuerdos, a mi interés por su última conexión en WhatsApp y dejar de leerle sus tuits. Y dicen que en el mundo moderno esos son los síntomas de haber superado la tusa. No se equivocaron, porque poco a poco mi corazón sentía que alguien, sin permiso, pero sin problema alguno de que lo hiciera, se metiera de a detalles, de a besos y palabras bonitas. Y me enamore, sin tilde, para que no se lea tan pasado. Abriéndome a una nueva esperanza de una vida juntos. Porque me gustan los amores bonitos, los que nos ilusionan con ser eternos. No cabía la dicha, porque siempre he dicho que no hay felicidad que nos alegre tanto, como la de un nuevo amor. Le di la bienvenida a las nuevas citas, al ahorro para ser detallista y a los besos tímidos en el cine. Y termine de despedirme de ese primer amor, sin ganas de volverlo a ver, cuando en sus labios hubo una promesa de amor. Amor bonito, diferente y único. No me bajo la luna, pero me subió al cielo sin avisar. Porque eso es lo lindo del amor, que no avisa. Pasaron los meses, sintiendo que no había amado nunca. Y aunque ya había expresado cosas comunes, como “jamás me había sentido así”, esta vez lo sentía más sincero, más de adentro del corazón. Fue un amor perfecto, como lo son todos cuando se está enamorado. Pero este amor era un amor diferente...

...Assignment 1: Computer Architecture Mardez Terrell Davis CIS- 106 May 5, 2013 Strayer University Arnold Daus Assignment 1: Computer Architecture In the 1940’s computer architecture developed by John Von Neumann and others that allows for input, output, processing, and memory; it also includes the stored program concept. The name Von Neumann machine is named after John Von Neumann. He is also a mathematician who was critical to its success. Von Neumann machine operates on fetch-execute cycle. That means the CPU (Central Processing Unit) fetches an instruction from memory and then executes this instruction. In the process of the CPU you have your input device go to the control unit. Then once the input device is in the control unit it send codes to the Arithmetic Logic Unit known as ALU. The portion of the CPU is responsible for mathematical operations, specifically addition. The next part is when the ALU is sending zeros and ones to a small unit of very high speed of memory o the CPU, used to store data and instructions for the CPU known as the register. In the registers it send everything that is on the computer to the main memory. The two, registers and the main memory is a cycle because they send each other data back and forwards. Now the last part is the output known as the auxiliary storage device like USB, earphones, printers, monitors, mouse and HDMI cord. Von Neumann architecture is important because in the input device you have the keyboard and it sends binary...

In my perspective peoples culture is what makes them a whole. I’m Dominican. My life consists of excitement and happiness. From the delicious foods, to the jumping music. My world revolves around my culture. I and my family have different occasions which we celebrate differently. In our world we tend to make everyone happy. Even though I wasn’t born in Dominican Republic I still carry it within me. My mother, father, brothers and sister were born in Dominican Republic. I was the only one that was born in the United States but I was actually made in Dominican Republic. We were all raised Dominican style as anyone would say. We speak, write and read fluent Spanish. We also have the accent which is recognized by any Dominican. It wasn’t as difficult as I thought adjusting to the variety of things that are totally different in DR. Like every 3 years we would go to Dominican Republic. I can truly say that it is completely different as time goes by. And I realized the difference. In the DR you would see the children on the streets playing baseball, hopscotch, playing with dolls, riding bicycles and everything you would see a typical child do. Here in the United States it would be very difficult for you to see the children playing outdoors. Just for the simple fact that technology is very advance and has taken...

...Me Too, Not Just Me Since before the beginning of the United States of America, slavery was a practice that was accepted and commonly used in the South. As slaves, blacks weren’t viewed as people, but as property. This allowed owners to do as they desired to the slaves without repercussions from the government. Since slaves weren’t considered people, the majority of the population didn’t care what a slave owner from a far away state did with his slaves. The process of emancipating slaves took a long time, and the effects of slavery still have significance today. In Kevin Roose’s article, “The Next Time Someone Says ‘All Lives Matter,’ Show Them These 5 Paragraphs,” GeekAesthete effectively explains why the phrase “All Lives Matters” is offensive...

..."Just watch me" is a phrase made famous by Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau on October 13, 1970, during the October Crisis. Pierre Trudeau, who had in previous years been a strong advocate of civil liberties, spoke of the need for drastic action to restore order in Quebec. When questioned by CBC reporter Tim Ralfe on how far he would go in the suspension of civil liberties to maintain order, Trudeau replied, "Well, just watch me." The reporter was trying to get Trudeau to explain why he would make Quebec into a military state. What good would it do? The reporter had his own idea about it and it was clear that he was making an effort to not be a “devil’s advocate” as Trudeau said to him at the very end of the video, (7:24) however, to try and make this situation debatable. The reporter is afraid that as a province they would lose their rights and freedom. He questions Trudeau, “Doesn’t it worry you that you have a town that has to resort to this kind of thing?” (0:31) It is clear that the reporter shows his worry and frustration by asking and doubting Trudeau’s in acting of the War Measures Act. The reporter expresses that he wants a more of a safer province by starting more of a heavier debate rather than an interview. Pierre Trudeau’s overall point to this interview is to show that he means business. Trudeau's firm conviction that "law and order in Canada" come first, and that there would be no bargaining with the kidnappers, won him new popularity in English Canada...

...thinking of a war and the violence that comes along with it, it seems as though all measures should be taken to prevent such a tragic resolution. When those measures are not successful, or an attack is made on an opposing country, war is usually inevitable, especially when there is terrorism involved. The question arises: Is war on terrorism ethical and just? Using the utilitarian and deontologist theories, I will demonstrate how war on terrorism is in fact justified. Utilitarianism is the theory that the consequences of an action determine the morality of the act; it is also focused on an outcome that appeases the majority (Mosser, 2013). For example, if my children both like pepperoni only on their pizza, and we are a family of three, it would make the most sense to order a pepperoni pizza rather than a deluxe since the pepperoni appeases both children. Since utility is based on consequences, this scenario works because while I enjoy deluxe pizza and it would please me, my children are the majority and pepperoni isn’t bad at all. When applying this ethical theory to the topic of war on terrorism, Americans can be considered just in fighting the war because the vast majority of Americans can agree that terrorism must be stopped. The definition of terrorism in itself, which is the use of violence to intimidate or coerce, goes against morality and would only be in the best interest of the group that enacts the terror. While most people can agree that torture is not an ethical act...

...Morgan Valone Theology May 6, 2012 B1 The Kingdom of God The Kingdom of God was the focus of Jesus’ mission and ministry, and what he lived and died for on Earth. The Kingdom of God can be defined as the vision of a world radically transformed in the image of God. The ideal Kingdom on Earth would be people all living free of government and politics and living in a communal style. In the Apostolic Ages, this type of communal living was attempted with the householders and itinerant preachers. The householders were people who would open their homes to the itinerants, who were travelling preachers. These travelling preachers taught “The Way” of Jesus and a new way of living to many communities. While this went well for a while, it was not perfect to the way that Jesus would have wanted it to be. During the Common Meal in the communal societies, the wealthy people would eat more than they needed to. This alone demonstrates the fact that not only were the wealthy taking more than they needed and not living by only what they needed and sharing the rest, but it also shows that there were in fact wealthy people in the communes. Jesus was in direct opposition to the idea of wealth, and the intentions of having a commune were that when a person joined, all of their money and possessions were to be shared equally throughout the entire community. Even in the times directly following Jesus’s life, the Kingdom of God was not being lived ideally. Throughout the Middle Ages, Christianity...

...Bianca Washington Professor Ruiz English 0990 4 March 2013 Just Married Just Married (2003) directed by Shawn Levy and written by Sam Harper is a romantic comedy. The two main characters are played by Ashton Kutcher and Brittany Murphy. These two individuals have such great chemistry that it shows throughout the whole movie. This film is rated pg13 and is appropriate for teens. The acting in the film was really good and believable. There was many parts in the movie that kept me laughing. Characterization is very important in the movie because the actors have to connect to each other and also to their own characters. Out of all the reviews that I have seen I have only found one positive review. I don’t know why because in my opinion the movie was not that bad to me. It was not my favorite but I enjoyed watching it. Many of the reviews talked about the movie having old jokes and that the characters didn’t have any chemistry. This movie is pretty old so the jokes are played out now but back then it was just immature humor that people liked to watch. The characters did shout at each other a lot in the movie but that is just there role in the movie. I feel that many of the reviewers were hoping for more inappropriate scenes and since this movie didn’t have enough of that they didn’t approve of it. John J. Puccio was one of the reviewers and he says “The movie is deceptively awful. It stars two attractive charming people who are not given a thing to work with in a script...

...Amongst global issues there are so many widely debated concerns, and war being one of which is the most popular. The just war theory will forever be atop the list of global issues. The question of it being right or wrong depends on the person. Me being in the Airforce, I personally think it is needed. Dating back to the revolutionary war: war has helped us become the great nation that we are today. Although deemed tragic with lives being lost, the acceptance of war within certain moral and ethical boundaries, can be justified, has been necessary, and will continue to be so as long as humans are capable of a greater evil. If asked “what should I do?” I believe that as a nation we should all be able to live the life we want to live, as long as you’re a law abiding citizen. Being able to live out that fulfillment of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is something we fight for every day. The just war theory was put in place by philosophers such as Plato but later on added to by people such as Christian monk, and Thomas Aquinas. The purpose of the theory is to provide a framework as to what is the right way to act in a potential conflict situation. For me Plato’s mind frame of thinking relates to different theories such as Contractarianism and Utilitarianism. Fighting against others foreign and domestic is an attest to strategies for attending to our liberty, which falls under Contractarianism. By doing so I think we are better off as a nation knowing that we will always...
