...on June 5 2013 by The Guardian a London newspaper. Glenn Greenwald reveled the top-secret order issued by the U.S. Foreign intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA Court) required Verizon to give NSA metadata information on telephone calls between both the U.S. calls and other countries. NSA had a program called Prism; a system designed to enable the agency to collect data directly from the servers of Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook and five more popular Internet services. Laura Poitras was next after Greenwald denied, in the spring they met up for the first time Laura and Glenn went over the documents and discovered a encrypted note which said “ I understand that I will be made to suffer for myself actions…[but]…I will be satisfied if the federation of secret law, unequal pardon and irresistible executive powers that will rule the world that I love are reveled even for an instant. I don’t think he planned to be anonymous for a few reasons. First he already reveled his identity to Poitras and Greenwald, which leads me to my second point Laura and Glenn could have exposed him at a moments notice. Then he was more concerned about people being blamed for a crime they did not commit as well. Quickly after, four days later after the guardian revealed his identity he went into hiding and his bio quickly surfaced. Reading his bio in Geneva was the first place he contemplated about reveling government secrets; he was also disillusioned by how the government functioned and the...

...The Pool The day was sunny and the sky was an exhilarating blue that seemed to go on forever. Like a flower that turns its face toward the sun, I felt inspired to worship the sun with my buddy at the local pool. I wore a white pair of swimming trunks that made my skin several shades darker than it really is. My skin reveled in the crisp coldness of the sparkling water followed by the baking rays of the sun. Sun baked bodies were everywhere - draped on wooden loungers, laid out on towels, bobbing about in the water, and splashing off the high dive. I chose to bask on the hot cement, toasting on both sides. Closing my eyes, I enjoyed the mingled scents of coconut, lime, and pineapple soda. Suntan lotions wafting from the teaming mass of contented humanity. The lulling susurration of nearby murmured conversation was punctuated by the short excited shrieks of children playing in the distance and the occasional scree of the sea gulls overhead. The day was so lazy and idyllic that time itself seemed to linger and stand still. I felt as if some strange portal had opened onto a distant shoreline, on a faraway world. If I opened my eyes would I see glistening, sandy beaches awash with palm trees and tropical seabirds gliding overhead? Maybe, a view of the gulf from a soaring yacht. But sadly, I was brought back to this mundane reality that it’s me and my friend Jonathan just trying to find a set of pretty women to notice us at the local pool. When I thought I made eye-contact with a...

...MARCIONISM AND ITS IMPACT By: Addison Termunde Theology 1001 Mr. Lashier 8 a.m. Addison Termunde Theology 1001 Lashier Term Paper 11/19/10 Marcionism and its Impact For every story told, multiple interpretations and perceptions are created. Anthology is defined as “a book or other collection of selected writings by various authors, usually in the same literary form”(Dictionary.com). The bible is just this; for every collection of stories told, a collection of interpretations, whether they be right or wrong, are ought to form. Throughout the early centuries many altered interpretations, or heresies, regarding the bible formed. Although the heresy of Marcionism was outlandish and heavily disputed against, it actually aided in the emergence of the Catholic Church. According to John Knox, of the University of Chicago, “Among the creative personalities of early Christianity few are so interesting and important as Marcion, who was expelled from the Roman community… and whose activities gave rise to the most vigorous heretical movement within the ancient church”(p.1). According to the article, Marcion and Scripture: The Impact of a Second Century Heretic on the New Testament, Marcion’s early life was filled with disgrace. “At some point later, however, he was “excommunicated by his own father” for having seduced a consecrated virgin and “degraded both her and himself.” Most modern historians think that the story of Marcion's...

...Aslı ** ‘’VIEWPOINTS’’ The Story Of The Hour, by Kate Chopin, is about woman who struggles with oppression brought on by her husband and her secret desire for freedom. Mrs. Mallard doesn’t know how truly unhappy she is until she is told that he has died in train accident.

The main character Mrs. Louise Mallard is a very easy to relate to. The structure and style that Chopin uses in The Story Of The Hour, is used to exaggerate the drama of what is taking place. She uses very short paragraphs the majority being only two to or three sentences a piece. The story is about the hour after Louise find out her husband is dead. It bring us quickly from a state of morning to a place where she realizes that she is “free” from the bondage of her husband. The structure of the story is reflects the intensity of emotions she exhibits.

The founders of the United States were risk-takers by nature, hence the obvious attraction to gambling in all forms. Back then, people bet on makeshift horse races, cockfights and bare-knuckle brawls since there was not much else. Colonists from England had gambling in their blood since their fathers and grandfathers had been doing it for generations - not only in hopes of a profit but also as a form on leisure and entertainment(California Libraries, Web)...
