...Short Story Wealth Over Love Once upon a time, in the far far away kingdom of Smis, there was a beautiful princess named Elizabeth. She was always satisfied with what she has. She was never sad, and is always smiling, as her kingdom is affluent, full of wealth, power, and dignity. One late evening, she heard a small noise out from the outside of her room. It was a small tiny noise she didn’t really notice at first, but it occurred again. She wondered what it was, so she walked outside to check what it was. Once she got onto her balcony, the bright moon light hit her body. She felt lighted up. The stars are sparkling like ice cubes, with the backdrop of the sky which was glowing blue. The mysterious noise repeated again, and with more distinct of frustration. It was the small sparrow under the full moon. Elizabeth stood there and kept observing the sparrow. The sparrow kept making the frustrating sound, and never got onto the branch, and keeps flying around near the tree. Her sound was sharp, long, and seems like she’s longing for someone. She sounded like she is singing to someone to come to her. The bird seem painfully isolated comparing to the fulfilled moon with it’s company of sparkling stars. Looking at the sparrow, Elizabeth felt the dryness. Then came a male sparrow. It flew up to the tree where the other sparrow was. Elizabeth couldn’t hear anymore frustrating sound from the sparrow. The two sparrows started to fly around together for a while. Then I could...

...love struck. The prince asked both of them to marry him but they refused to share. The princesses quarreled over the prince which also caused the villagers to fight amongst each other. Puteri Sejinjang hit Puteri Santubong on the cheek with her rice pounder and Puteri Santubong countered by striking her with her belidak, the tool she uses for weaving. Both princesses died and were cursed to become mountains, Gunung Santubong and Gunung Sejinjang. Based on Vladimir Propp’s seven spheres of action, seeing that Raja Kayangan had sent the two princesses to aid the people of the villages, he acts as the Dispatcher and by granting them special abilities he is also the Donor and the Helper. This in turn makes the princesses Heroes. The Princess, or in this folklore’s case, the Prince is the one that Puteri Santubong and Puteri Sejinjang wants to marry; Putera Serapi. But by ending the peace between the two villages also causes the princesses to become False Heroes ergo the Villains. The only binary opposition that can be found in the story is the time which the princesses chose to do their work. Puteri Santubong preferred to weave cloth at night time because the air was cooler while Puteri Sejinjang liked to pound rice during the day when the air was...

...Cri du chat, also known as “Cat’s Cry” syndrome or 5p- (5 p minus) syndrome occurs when there is a deletion in chromosome 5 (Genetics Home Reference). According to the Genetics Home Reference website, most cases of Cri du Chat are not inherited. The deletion occurs randomly during production of reproductive cells or in early development. People with Cri du Chat most often have no familial history of the disease. Only about ten percent of the cases of Cri du Chat are inherited from unaffected parents. Most of the time in this situation, the parent’s chromosome is rearranged. The material is not gained or lost, but is located on different parts of the chromosome. So, when the material is moved to create gametes or chromosomes in a developing...

...Prader-Willi Syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects chromosome number fifteen. Some of the common signs of this syndrome are obesity, eyes with narrower shape, small hands, feet and stature. Often the muscle tone is decreased and as a consequence motor development is delayed. Individuals affected usually have mild learning disabilities and only a small portion have average or above average IQs. Their long term memory is stronger and efficient than their short term memory. Most students with Prader-Willi Syndrome have difficulty working with numbers and calculations. They usually perform better when working with reading, writing, drawing, and when working with technology. Behavior issues are directly associated with the syndrome as well...

...Cat eye syndrome is a genetic condition , a way to describe it is to say that it is an abnormality in chromosome 22. It can lead to a coloboma of the iris witch is how it got its name . The eyes look cat-like but work the same as a normal human . Cat eye syndrome or “Schmid Fraccaro syndrome” is a rare condition caused by the short arm and a small section of the long arm of human chromosome 22 being present three (trisomic) or four times (tetrasomic) instead of the usual two times. The name “cat eye syndrome” is derived from a distinctive eye (ocular) abnormality that is present in a little over half affected individuals. Most cases of eye cat syndrome are not hereditary , the condition generally occurs even during the formation of...

...Edward's Syndrome Edward's Syndrome, also known as Trisomy 18 Syndrome, was discovered in 1960 by Dr. John Edward. It is a very rare inherited genetic disorder that is likely in one out of every five thousand births. Children with the syndrome have an extra chromosome 18, causing the child to have many malformations and mental retardation. Nineteen out of twenty of the children with the Edward's Syndrome die before their first birthday. There are three types of the Trisomy 18 Syndrome. The first one is most common it's called Full Trisomy 18. In this case a full extra chromosome is present in each cell. This type is not hereditary. The second type is very rare, it's called Partial Trisomy 18. This type of the syndrome can be hereditary. It occurs when only part of the extra chromosome is present in each cell. The third type is Mosaic Trisomy 18 this is also very rare. The extra part if the chromosome is only present in some of the cells, not all. The defects of Edward's Syndrome can target the brain, heart, craniofacial structures, kidneys and stomach. The children that make it thorough birth appear fragile and weak, many are underweight and have micrognathia. Many of the surviving children have these problems because of the malformed extra chromosome, just one little chromosome can really make or break someone's life. The syndrome can be diagnosis by taking a blood sample from the fetus to look at the chromosome line up. Edward's Syndrome can also be diagnosed by a few other test...

...Doctors have been left baffled after a Chinese pensioner woke from a two-week coma speaking perfect English - but not a word of her native language. Liu Jieyu, 94, had been unconscious for a fortnight after suffering a stroke, which doctors had feared she may not recover from. When she finally awoke, the retired teacher asked in perfect English: 'Where am I? What is happening?' Surprised doctors were left even more confused when it became clear Ms Jieyu - who used to teach English - had lost all ability to speak her native Chinese. An English-speaking doctor was brought in to talk to the pensioner, who confirmed she was speaking the language perfectly - although a little slowly. Her shocked family say while Ms Jieyu had taught English previously, she had not spoken the language in more than 30 years. They say said she had stopped using English after retiring to live with her family on the outskirts of the city of Changsha, in southern China's Hunan province. RELATED ARTICLES Medic Tao Hou, 45, said: 'I can't ever remember having a case like this before but we anticipate with proper rehabilitation and rest she should regain the ability to speak Chinese. 'We assume that the area dealing with her ability to speak Chinese has been damaged, but brain cells to have an ability to repair themselves to a certain extent we would hope to see at least some improvement.' Ms Jieyu was admitted to hospital after suffering a type of stroke called a cerebral infarction, where the blood...

...To the parents of Madison Rigby, Congratulations on your new member of your family. Your baby has recently been diagnosed with Velocardiofacial syndrome. It is also commonly called DiGeorge syndrome or Deletion syndrome. It is caused by a deletion of chromosome 22q11 or chromosome 22. It happens when a small piece of genetic material is missing. Because there is a copy of this chromosome from each parent something could've gone wrong in the sperm cell or egg cell. It is completely random. Some symptoms of this disease are: Heart defects, cleft palate or lip, breathing problems, delayed speech and growth, and learning difficulty. This can be passed down from parent to child so if your child were to reproduce there is a 50-50 chance that it...

In Hebrews chapter 11 and 1 says now faith is the substance of things hope for and evidence of things not seen. In some cultures they believe that faith is their medicine to help them alleviate some of their traumatic events. Developmental delay refers to a child not achieving developmental milestone at the normal age range. There are five developmental delays, gross motor, fine motor, language, cognitive and social. Genetic plays a factors in some developmental delays such as Down syndrome, Fragile X syndrome, rett syndrome, and muscular dystrophy. These multiple delays influence physical, and social developments. An example of a delay could be if the child was born prematurely, or if the mother had an infections like chlamydia and passed it to the baby during birth. If a mother experience any trauma during pregnancy or during birth like being exposed to drugs and alcohol. Unhealthy home environments where children are exposed to unsanitary conditions, poverty or malnutrition are observable factors that can lead to growth delays. Feldman (2014) Reference: (n.d.).

...Description: Prader-Willi syndrome is caused by spontaneous genetic problems in chromosome 15 which is evident in the early development of a fetus. In other words, there is a deletion, or a loss of genes from that chromosome. This genetic disease is capable of affecting any number of physical, mental, and behavioral problems in the human body. http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/182287.php Starting at infancy, this disease portrays weak muscle tone (hypotonia), poor growth, troubles feeding, and delayed development. The most common feature of Prader-Willi is the feeling of constant hunger. This symptom is not present at birth, but usually apparent at around the age of two. This constant feeling of hunger and need to eat is from the person never getting a complete satisfaction of food, or never feeling full and can lead to many chronic weight related conditions. https://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/condition/prader-willi-syndrome...
