...A long time ago in the town of Corfu, Greece. There lived a goddess, her name was Aphrodite. In the town of Volos, Greece there lived another goddess and her name was Circe. These two goddess where the goddess of something, like Aphrodite was the goddess of beauty, the other goddess Circe was the goddess of magic. The goddess of beauty always believed that she was better at magic the Circe was, which Circe was the goddess of magic. The problem all started when Aphrodite would tell people that she was better at magic than Circe ever was. She would also send letters telling her that she was horrible at magic and she should go learn how to use magic instead of abusing it. Circe wasn’t very happy when she found out what Aphrodite had been saying and she thought it was mean and it was unnecessary. Circe got so tired of the letters that one day she sent one back to her saying “ That all this was unnecessary and that it needed to stop right now, she was tired of all the meanness, she wasn’t mean to her so she had no right to be so mean to her cause she has never done anything wrong to her, that she has no reason to be so rude”....

...as the Harry Potter series? Part of the reason is because the Harry Potter series is not only a book for children but also a book for adults. The details of the books connect to younger readers’ real lives, while being inspirational enough to generate older readers’ considerations. It is far more than just a fantasy series. Harry Potter’s magic world is so real to readers because it is very similar to readers’ lives. There are governments, schools, pubs, banks, bookstores, train stations, the World Cup, prisons and hospitals in Harry Potter’s magic world. These are all things young readers can relate to in their lives. The similarity makes Harry Potter’s magic world real to readers. Besides, by offering detailed examples to connect her characters with readers, JK.Rowling successfully convinces her readers that the magic world is real and they can be part of it if they believe in it. Magic only exists in the hearts of 1 people who believe in it. The evidences are everywhere but muggles seldom choose to believe in what they have seen. When seeing owls flying over the sky, they insist owls are only looking for food instead of sending letters.” (Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, JK Rowling, 82) Most readers of Harry Potter are between 7-14...

...‘mystery’ and hence came to denote inscriptions believed to be magic. The runes were used as letters, each symbol to indicate separate sound. This alphabet is called futhark after the first six letters. Runic letters are angular; straight lines are preferred, curved lines avoided; this is due to the fact that runic inscriptions were cut in hard material: stone, bone or wood. The shapes of some letters resemble those of Greek or Latin, other have not been traced to any known alphabet, and the order of the runes in the alphabet is certainly original. The number of runes in different OG languages varied. As compared to continental, the number of runes in England was larger: new runes were added as new sounds appeared in English (from 28 to 33 runes in Britain against 16 or 24 on the continent). The main use of runes was to make short inscriptions on objects, often to bestow on them some special power or magic. The two best known runic inscriptions in England are the earliest extant OE written records. One of them is and inscription on a box called the “Franks Casket”, the other is a short text on a stone cross near the village of Ruthwell known as the “Ruthwell Cross”. The second is Latin The earliest known inscriptions in the Latin alphabet date from the 6th century BC. It was adapted from the Etruscan alphabet during the 7th century BC. The letters Y and Z were taken from the Greek alphabet to write Greek loan words. Other letters were added from time to time as the Latin alphabet was...

...Gabriel Garcia Marquez In my essay I want to talk about Gabriel Garcia Marquez two famous works “One Hundred Years of Solitude” and “Love in the Time of Cholera”. Gabriel García Márquez was born in 1928, in the small town of Aracataca, Colombia. He started his career as a journalist. When One Hundred Years of Solitude was published in his native Spanish in 1967, as Cien años de soledad, García Márquez achieved true international fame; he went on to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982. One Hundred Years of Solitude is perhaps the most important, and the most widely read, text to emerge from that period. It is also a central and pioneering work in the movement that has become known as magical realism, which was characterized by the dreamlike and fantastic elements woven into the fabric of its fiction. Even as it draws from García Márquez’s provincial experiences, One Hundred Years of Solitude also reflects political ideas that apply to Latin America as a whole. Latin America once had a thriving population of native Aztecs and Incas (of the many complex civilizations to arise in the ancient Americas, the Aztecs, the last ancient Mexican civilization, known for their huge city-on-a-lake of Tenochtitlan and for the practice of mass human sacrifice; and the Incas of Peru, whose rigid state structure and many golden treasures so amazed the Spanish invaders.) but, slowly, as European explorers arrived, the native population had to adjust to the technology and capitalism...

...know how to write in cursive or be confused by the thought of comprising sentences in a manner that inspires the feelings embedded in the message without having to read the message itself. The art of penmanship isn’t just drawing shapes and lines to form letters and words to be interpreted once read, but to let corresponding passion manifest in the style in which the words themselves are being written. Most of today’s generations and those to come will only know how to compose an email or a memo. Albeit both mediums share the exact same outcome, a message sent, received, and handled accordingly, there are differences in the two that may not be as obvious to those who feel indifferent about the matter than to someone who has a passion for words, writing, and the myriad of emotions invoked by their content and construction. There’s a beauty to behold in a love letter, intensely felt by the heart, carefully thought by the brain, and meticulously crafted by the hand, meant to touch the heart and soul of the receiver. There’s also a satisfaction in appreciating the beauty of not only the message contained in a love letter but the construction of it as well. Whether it’s intended or subconscious, the style in which a love letter is written speaks to the author’s mood while composing it. Long, whimsical strokes of his pen come together to form words that are meant to invoke the same feelings in the recipient that floods the author’s own body. Perhaps the way he writes his words, leaning...

... In reality, the Scarlet Letter is many things. It has all the characteristics of a modern-day soap opera, but it is way more than some television show cast on ABC. It could be a sermon being shouted from a church attendee, but no; the Puritans are surely not the heroes in this novel. It could be a story of failure, for there are many failures cast upon the main characters, or it could be a story of revenge from an angry husband. And, maybe it could even be a story of creativity-- the attempt of one to see their artistic side in a community who disapproves a mind of imagination. The novel could mean a multitude of things, only noticed by one’s personal perception. The scarlet A has much to do with the plot as it progresses, and has a vine of sin wrapped around it; this vine is wrapped around all the characters, too. Many of the meanings that are implied can be obvious to a novice audience, especially the interpretation of the scarlet letter A inside of little Pearl. “She resembled…. an infant Pestilence, --the scarlet fever, or some half-fledged angel of judgment,--whose mission was to punish the sins of the rising generation” (Hawthorne 93). Pearl is somehow stricken to be sin itself, since she born of it. On Hester and Pearl’s trip to the Governor's Hall, Pearl’s red dress is described in great detail, and her obsession with the scarlet letter on Hester’s bosom is displayed. Even as a tiny girl, Pearl creates a fascination with the letter and continually touches it...

There might be times when a doctor might have to use a surgery code for draining an abscess in the office or removing of a growth. Most coder’s will only use category I for most of their jobs. Now category II are four digits and the fifth digit is a letter. These are not paid by insurance, but just notes for the doctor to keep an eye on things and to see that the right treatment is going on. Examples of this can body mass recorded or has reduce smoking or patients history. Last, category III is just a short-term code for new technology, services and procedures.

...Magic Carpet Airlines Diane Lutzow MGT 445 July 28th, 2010 Sabrina Thomas Magic Carpet Airlines Everyone would like to work for a company that’s fair, pays competitively and looks out for their employees. Magic Carpet Airlines is not a company who are practicing those three aspects. They are trying to pay their flight attendants minimal, but still requiring long hours. The flight attendants and the League of Flight Attendants are fighting back and saying they work hard and are worth more. “Magic Carpet Air (MCA) began operations in 1961, serving 2 cities, and grew to serve 18 cities by 1987. River City Airlines (RCA) began in 1969 with service to 4 cities and grew to serve 12 cities by 1987. In January 1987, Magic Carpet Air purchased River City Airlines and merged the two operations. The joining of these two regional airlines created a small “national” airline (defined as a carrier with sales between $100 million and $1 billion) with sales of $140,265,000 in 1987. Even so, the firm competed primarily in only one region of the country, and managers constantly compared it to other large regional airlines” (Lewicki, Saunders, & Barry, 2006) . In 1988 Magic Carpet Airlines decided to enter an agreement and merge with RCA. Neither companies prior to 1989 were unionized this quickly changed and with 82 percent of the votes, LFA became their union. Magic Carpet Air and RCA flight attendants were not part of a union before or after the merger. Therefore...

How is Tony feeling at the very end of this chapter? - at the end of the chapter he is happier because he was able to make friends in the end that were “lonely” like himself. 10. Why does the author compare the area to a "land of milk and honey”? - the reason why the author compares the are to milk and honey is because California is a warm and lush where fruit grows and there is more opportunity for people. 11. Why do the boys believe that drawing letters in the sand is magic? - they believe that drawing letters in the sand is magic because it is something that was made out of nothing. It was with the movement of their wrist that they are able to create something that wasn’t there before. 12.

Occasionally, one encounters persons calling themselves “theoretical magicians” and thus meaning that they subscribe to the magical paradigms without practising magic. But, theoretical magic is a contradiction. Magic is practice, action. Eugenio Trias, professor in philosophy, have pointed out that the word magic can be traced back to the same root as make (Swedish makt meaning ‘power’, German machen meaning ‘do’ or ‘make’). Magic is a creative, creating force through which the magician enables his visions through action. This is echoed in the Draconian magical formula: Visio, Vires, Actio: Vision, Force, Action. Practising magic, however, is an art that demands dedication, patience and discipline. A process of ennobling is demanded to develop the magical abilities, a path of initiation, an alchemy in which vision and action are united into a whole. The Magical Week on Gotland is the most important magical highlight of the year, where we unite magical work with inspiring social activities and there will be a unique opportunity to work magically in depth together with others in Dragon Rouge. The Magical Week 2007 we will focus on Visio Vires Actio – The Draconian Alchemy and we will ennoble our magical abilities during intensive magical operations. HDHM!
