...ARE YOU AFRAID OF SNAKES? If so Please read the story below | "Venomous snakes were being ferried from Africa to Europe in a plane. Unfortunately the person who packed the snakes forgot to lock the box in which the snakes were put. Once the plane had taken off and responding to the movement of the plane, the snakes found their way out of the box.. Passengers in the plane could see various snakes on the isle. They screamed, some fainted and the brave ones sought refugee wherever they could within the plane." The air hostess ran to the pilot to inform him of this scaring incident. The pilot quickly informs the air controllers on the ground. "We are very very sorry, says his boss. We forgot to lock the box where we put the snakes. They are indeed some of the most poisonous snakes in the world". "So where can I land? Please advise me before passengers are bitten", asks the shaken pilot. "No do not land, stay there for a minute, let me think", advises the boss. Surely this sounds like stupid advice to the impatient pilot. But he has to follow the orders. A minute is too long for someone faced with such trouble he thinks. But he has to follow orders. After a minute, the boss contacts him. "At what altitude are you flying? He asks. "300", says the pilot. "Go higher", advises the boss. "But the snakes will...." Before he finishes his sentence the boss bellows "I said go higher!!". He complies. Now whats your altitude? Asks the boss 500.66 , answers the...

As he is worrying over his predicament, he is approached by the little prince, a very serious little blond boy who asks the narrator to draw him a sheep. The narrator obliges, and the two become friends. The pilot learns that the little prince comes from a small planet that the little prince calls Asteroid 325 but that people on Earth call Asteroid B-612. The little prince took great care of this planet, preventing any bad seeds from growing and making sure it was never overrun by baobab trees. One day, a mysterious rose sprouted on the planet and the little prince fell in love with it. But when he caught the rose in a lie one day, he decided that he could not trust her anymore. He grew lonely and decided to leave. Despite a last-minute reconciliation with the rose, the prince set out to explore other planets and cure his loneliness. While journeying, the narrator tells us, the little prince passes by neighboring asteroids and encounters for the first time the strange, narrow-minded world of grown-ups. On the first six planets the little prince visits, he meets a king, a vain man, a drunkard, a businessman, a lamplighter, and a geographer, all of whom live alone and are overly consumed by their chosen occupations. Such strange behavior both amuses and perturbs the little prince. He does not understand...

... 10. Hanubeera* Sorcery: Though it is similar to Beera sorcery, here the affected person behaves insane, haunts a specific place time and again, repeats the same dialogues and goes reckless of his tasks. He turns a deaf ear to others’ words. 11. Demonic Sorcery: In absence of other family members, a horrid-looking person is seen sharing bed with the affected victim. Similar spine-chilling faces may appear in his dream. The demonic shadow follows the victim wherever he goes. At times, spirits with vengeance since previous birth too create similar conditions. Often, the faces take a form of opposite sex to the victim. However, such vile effects can be neutralized. 12. Sorcery through snakes: A snake is targeted at the diseased. It stings the target-victim and returns. Instances of the same snake targeted several times too have been reported. The after-effect of the sting leaves the victim suffering from excruciating pain or even falls prey to death. All the sorcery categories narrated here are not everything about such barbaric acts. These occult powers are employed mostly to obtain monetary ends or settle personal scores with the help of mean tantrics. Apart from the harm done to the sorcery-victims, such barbarism is a threat to society’s peace. Many practitioners of sorcery or tantrics mistake this as a way to earn social recognition. Some readers of this book might have come across sorcery victims with any of the discussed symptoms as sorcery is a common phenomenon across...

...ADHD In life friends and family can be very helpful because you know they care about you and you can always count on them. I am a very lucky person because I have many relatives on both sides of my family that are very caring and supportive and I enjoy being around all of them, but My aunt and uncle on my fathers side were two of the greatest people I have ever met. They lived in Florida so I didn’t get to see them as much as I would have liked to. Every time we went on vacation in Florida they would invite us to visit them and my mother, father sister and I would all go over and usually stay all day, have dinner and me and my sister would usually sleep over while my parents went out. Their house was right next to the Indian River. It had a dock and a small boat. They also had two dogs a very old one and a younger terrier. I remember my aunt teaching me how to use a snorkel and mask in a pool. She would always show me how to do cool things like how to catch and cook a crab. Every moment I spent there I enjoyed It was a lot like going to your grandparents house. They would always make sure I ate and I would never even have to ask for food. They would also let me do things that my parents probably wouldn’t have approved of. They had a car that was older and it had no seatbelts they would let me stand on the seats and stick my head out the sunroof while they were driving. Or letting me try to walk across the Indian river, which is mostly very shallow but some parts are...

...detection. They can detect breast cancer in its earliest stages long before you or your doctor can feel a lump or tumor. And the earlier you find breast cancer, the better your chances are of beating it. Mammograms can save lives by finding breast cancer as early as possible. Mammograms are safe and effective. Image segmentation is an important problem in image analysis which is to partition a given image into disjoint regions. There are several image processing methods in current literatures for mass segmentation and feature extraction of breast cancer images. One of the commonly used methods is active contour model also called snakes method whose basic idea is to start with a curve around object to be detected; and curve moves towards an “optimal” position and shape by minimizing its own energy. Snake or active contour is a curve in the image plane, which moves to minimize its internal and external energy functions. The internal energy function regularizes the shape of the contour. Mass classification prevents unnecessary biopsy 1.2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND FEATURES Masses are the primary indication of breast cancer in mammograms, and it is important to classify them as benign or malignant. Benign and malignant masses differ in geometry and texture characteristics. Benign tumors aren’t cancerous. They can often be removed, and, in most cases, they do not come back. Cells in benign tumors do not spread to other parts of the body. Malignant tumors are cancerous and are made...

...Read on to find out more. Chapter 1 In chapter 1, Golding introduces the novel's major characters as well as its theme: that evil, as a destructive force in men, society and civilization, is in all of us. To illustrate this theme, Golding uses several motifs: civilization vs savegery, human nature vs animal nature, technology vs nature, and the intellegent vs the physical. As the characters interact with each other and their environment, so do the forces they represent. By making the characters interact with these forces, it allows Golding the opportunity to compare and contrast between both forces and characters. The novel opens with a description of “the long scar smashed into the jungle”. This signifies to the audience that the plane has crashed on an island without civilization. It also makes the forces contrast between each other (technology vs nature). This is a persuasive technique used by Golding to make the audience want to read more. Ralph is elected as leader for superficial reasons. He is a a charming, handsome boy who appears to be in charge because of his use of the conch, which functions for him at the moment of his election as a symbol of authority. Although it was Piggy's quick thinking to use the conch to summon the others, hampered by asthma, he must allow Ralph to do the summoning. In my opinion, Golding here tries to create a relationship with the audience as there is a sense that most people wanted Ralph as leader and not Jack as Golding has portrayed...

...Van Nguyen Paige Talbot English 099/101 Essay 1 Rough Draft April 17, 2016 One Day to Live Between Two Continents Have you ever traveled to different places that are far away from your homeland? There are many reasons why you should leave your home for a short or long period of time. It can be a trip to local areas or foreign countries. Everyone has particular emotional feelings when they experience their first times to go and live abroad. These experiences affect people’s lives positively. I am definitely not an exception because I also experienced the boundary day that shaped me into a different person when it was the first times for me to fly to and live in America. The warmful weather of summer in Seattle recalls continuous flowing of memories about my homeland. I spent most of my childhood time within this cherished area in South of Vietnam. Because our area belongs to Cuu Long Delta where its topography is crossed by many big rivers, my village includes many rambling old farmhouses that are embraced by a river on their front. At the rear of my village as well as my house, there are an immense number of rice fields spreading thoroughly to the horizon. These rice fields are believed to be the places where our village’s farmers work at. Seasonally, when it is time for harvest, the rice fields carpet turn into yellowish. Also, flying nest builders work hard to build their temporary homes by combinations of leaves and branches. Day after day, everything keeps going on...

...In this book, Myers points out that psychologists have described four impacts that fuel fear. But why do people fear? Humans fear what an evolution has prepared them to fear, such as specific objects. Although, snakes and spiders combined together kill way less than cigarettes do. People fear what they cannot control, such as flying. They fear what is about to happen, especially in the moments of take off and landing. And lastly, human beings fear what is most readily available in memory, such as powerful and vivid images like that of the plane crashing into World Trade Center on September 11th. Anxiety disorders pose one of the leading risks to the mental health in the world and mostly develop early in life. However, research of anxiety disorders...
