...devices, she intricately analyses micro details and juxtaposes these ideas with macro details. The poems Orb Spider and Fox in a Tree Stump are juxtaposed in the way she conveys her reverence for nature, as fox in a tree stump subtly communicates the idea of her reverence for nature through guilt and remorse as opposed to orb spider giving direct references towards the beauty of nature. Beveridge creates a reverence for nature through the way she describes in detail the simple beauty of creatures often seen as insignificant. The quote “she was so beautiful spinning her web” adds to the beauty of the spider through her deliberate use of referring to the spider as a female. This is effective as beauty is often associated with femininity and often seen as graceful and elegant. This quote displays the harmony of nature. The reference to “spinning her web” relates also to domestic toil, the idea that the spider is doing what is known as her everyday chores. The persona can then relate to this creating a feeling of empathy and admiration towards the spider. However, fox in a tree stump displays reverence for nature though not through the same way as orb spider. The quote “prayed not to waken another animal from the wheat” creates a rather remorseful tone through guilt, Beveridge shows that there is still a reverence for nature present although it is not represented the same way as orb spider. Imagery that Beveridge utilizes throughout the poem is effective as the spider’s web, which is often...

...Youth Culture Lesson Finding Teachable Moments in Culture From YouthWorker Journal and YouthWorker.com What Tangled Webs What Invading Spiders Can Teach Us About Fear By Paul Asay What Happened It’s two months before Halloween, but no matter: Rowlett, Texas, is looking pretty creepy these days. The Dallas suburb has the long-jawed orb weaver to thank for it. Drive down CA Roan Drive in Rowlett, and you’ll find the trees there are covered in gigantic webs—some 40 feet tall—and filled with thousands of spiders that got together and built a gigantic, creepy communal home. It’s not the first time Rowlett has been home to these massive webs. In 2007, nearby Lake Tawakoni State Park welcomed another infestation of long-jawed orb weavers, which built webs that, according to Park Superintendent Donna Garde, looked like “something out of a low-budget horror movie.” Only, she added, much, much bigger. As spooky as the webs look, and as fearsome as the spiders appear to be, scientists suggest they’re veritable pacifists in the arachnid world. The inch-long spiders are not venomous, and they’ve never been known to bite humans or bother most of the other critters living in the webs. Experts say these huge webs should be treated as natural marvels, not sites for some sort of spider-based apocalypse scenario. After all, spiders are typically loners, and it’s exceedingly rare to see them work together to build such a colossal structure. Talk About It We hear this sort...

...Prologue Mitra, yama, qsiti and sovani… these four races exist in one world. In ancient times, mysterious artifacts referred to as Remnants were discovered all over the world. People used these objects for their awesome powers – a choice that eventually began to cause a rift in the world’s balance. Equality was replaced by those who ruled and those who were ruled over. War was inevitable. A thousand years later is when this story begins… Preface Welcome readers for one of my last walkthroughs that is scheduled to be released this year. Due to my self imposed “game writing holiday” and delayed shipping, the release of this exclusive has been moved drastically for almost two weeks behind. I know the game didn’t garner good reviews but I am sure there are other gamers like me that don’t rely on reviews for the sake of enjoying or experiencing the game. It has many flaws indeed, but being a seasoned RPG player like myself, I tend to overlook those shortcomings and enjoy what the game has to offer. I hope this document may assist you on your journey. This is another exclusive guide brought to you by yours truly and of course IGN. Since this is an exclusive, this guide will be featured only in IGN.com and its network. Kindly email me if you saw this guide someplace else. Any feedback from you guys is very much appreciated. I will try to cover everything that needs to be covered but I can’t guarantee you that this will be perfect (just imagine one guy can do with such limited time...

...The Merchant of Venice ACT I SCENE I. Venice. A street. Enter ANTONIO, SALARINO, and SALANIO ANTONIO In sooth, I know not why I am so sad: It wearies me; you say it wearies you; But how I caught it, found it, or came by it, What stuff 'tis made of, whereof it is born, I am to learn; And such a want-wit sadness makes of me, That I have much ado to know myself. SALARINO Your mind is tossing on the ocean; There, where your argosies with portly sail, Like signiors and rich burghers on the flood, Or, as it were, the pageants of the sea, Do overpeer the petty traffickers, That curtsy to them, do them reverence, As they fly by them with their woven wings. SALANIO Believe me, sir, had I such venture forth, The better part of my affections would Be with my hopes abroad. I should be still Plucking the grass, to know where sits the wind, Peering in maps for ports and piers and roads; And every object that might make me fear Misfortune to my ventures, out of doubt Would make me sad. SALARINO My wind cooling my broth Would blow me to an ague, when I thought What harm a wind too great at sea might do. I should not see the sandy hour-glass run, But I should think of shallows and of flats, And see my wealthy Andrew dock'd in sand, Vailing her high-top lower than her ribs To kiss her burial. Should I go to church And see the holy edifice of stone, And not bethink me straight of dangerous rocks, Which touching but my gentle vessel's side, Would scatter...

...THE PLAYER Good game design is player-centric. That means that above all else, the player and her desires are truly considered. Rather than demanding that she do something via the rules, the gameplay itself should inherently motivate the player in the direction the designer wants her to go. Telling players they must travel around the board or advance to the next level is one thing. If they don’t have a reason and a desire to do it, then it becomes torture. In creating a game, designers take a step back and think from the player’s viewpoint: What’s this game about? How do I play? How do I win? Why do I want to play? What things do I need to do? MEANINGFUL DECISIONS Distilled down to its essence, game design is about creating opportunities for players to make meaningful decisions that affect the outcome of the game. Consider a game like a boxing match. So many decisions lead up to the ultimate victory. How long will I train? Will I block or will I swing? What is my opponent going to do? Where is his weakness? Jab left or right? Even those few, brief questions don’t come close to the myriad decisions a fighter must make as he progresses through a match. Games invite players into similar mental spaces. Games like Tetris and Chess keep our minds busy by forcing us to consider which one of several possible moves we want to take next. In taking these paths, we know that we may be prolonging or completely screwing up our entire game. The Sims games and those in...

...Bloodlines of Illuminati by: Fritz Springmeier, 1995 Introduction: I am pleased & honored to present this book to those in the world who love the truth. This is a book for lovers of the Truth. This is a book for those who are already familiar with my past writings. An Illuminati Grand Master once said that the world is a stage and we are all actors. Of course this was not an original thought, but it certainly is a way of describing the Illuminati view of how the world works. The people of the world are an audience to which the Illuminati entertain with propaganda. Just one of the thousands of recent examples of this type of acting done for the public was President Bill Clinton’s 1995 State of the Union address. The speech was designed to push all of the warm fuzzy buttons of his listening audience that he could. All the green lights for acceptance were systematically pushed by the President’s speech with the help of a controlled congressional audience. The truth on the other hand doesn’t always tickle the ear and warm the ego of its listeners. The light of truth in this book will be too bright for some people who will want to return to the safe comfort of their darkness. I am not a conspiracy theorist. I deal with real facts, not theory. Some of the people I write about, I have met. Some of the people I expose are alive and very dangerous. The darkness has never liked the light. Yet, many of the secrets of the Illuminati are locked up tightly simply because secrecy is a way...
