Hire a Celebrity Look-Alike to Come and Mingle with the Guests and Watch Hire a celebrity look-alike to come and mingle with the guests and watch their bungled reactions Lucid dreaming stories are tremendously different and wonderful practice In lucid dreaming, there is a point when people came to know that they are dreaming and even they can speak to their selves that they are in a dream An opportunity to do religious work is given by lucid dreaming In dreaming phase, a person is able to conclude what he wants, and performs actions accordingly There is a difference between normal dreams and lucid dream When a normal person starts dreaming, he can control a little on what's happening in his dream It is like that a person is flounced along with the story and he is only a bit is able to say that what happens in it Many crazy and stupid things also happened in the dreams and people considered it as o normal, and ordinary thing A person is having a tendency not to diminish anything But, when a person become lucid, a state of being consciousness and awareness that he feels his dream actually happens in real when he wake up the next morning These lucid dreaming stories will let a person remain in the world of dream with the full alertness of everyday activities So, an ability of a person to have awareness at the same time of dreaming is called a lucid dream Any person in real can experience whatever he imagines Lucid dreaming becomes as practical and realistic as the world is While lucid dreaming, a person can go for anything what he would like to have a chance in real life At the Lucidity Institute, Stephen Laberge proved the lucid dreams on a scientific basis He pointed out many knowledgeable points on lucid dreaming stories But, it is very difficult to stay lucid for a longer period of time At any certain point, lucidity can be vanished and the dream becomes a normal dream again Lucid dreaming is an awesome experience and every person should be aware about it This technique forces person to write his dream in detail as much as he can An easy and excellent way to remember a dream is to keep it in a journal When a person again read his dream, it will soothe him This activity will take a person to the actual activities he took in the dream, and it will become easier to remember it A good and basic technique for the beginners is to taste the reality To perform such exercise, it is better for a person to assign time distribution for technique In fact, a person can do this technique when he remembered his dreams The more regular a person performs this technique, the better chance to work it accordingly This reality testing will helps to enhance many Lucid Dreaming Stories Love spells are very popular online but most people don't realize that the only ones you're supposed to do are the ones that draw love into your life The spells that say they will make someone love you are fake Spells cannot force anyone to do anything they would not do of their own free will Here is a simple spell to help you bring love and happiness your way This spell is best done on the night of a full moon Essential Oils that promote love such as lavender 3 A small dish to hold the candle and burn a piece of paper Take the piece of paper and write down your ideal partner or friend List all the good qualities about that person in great detail An example of what to write would be words like loving, honest, kind, loves animals, understanding or sensitive The more thought you put into the list the stronger this spell will be You do this buy mixing together your essential oils (if using more than one) and then rubbing it on the candle A small amount goes a long way so don't use too much If you want to you can carve small hearts in the candle as well Place the candle in the dish or candle holder and then light it You need to sit in silence for a while and focus on your intent It might sound silly but you should read your paper out loud to the candle flame Think deeply about what you want and then fold the paper four times The paper needs to be burned completely while imagining your intent is being sent into the air by the smoke Take the ashes and flush it down the toilet or bury it outside It needs to be disposed of because the words were turned into air when you set it on fire Your wish is now floating around searching for the person you described It might take a while but eventually it will bring that person your way Its up to you now to be open to meeting new people and relying on your intuition to see if this person was the one you wished for Before sharing my opinion on the ethics of love spells, I thought it prudent to make this point It's quite likely that my views on love spells will be different from someone who practices magic They may also differ from someone who has asked for a love spell to be cast This is to be expected, as opinions are formed by each persons lifetime of unique experiences Based on my personal experiences, I don't believe most love spells are ethical I spent many years of my early life yearning to be loved I fervently wanted a white knight to swoop me off my feet and carry me off to love-land I held the mistaken belief that if a man were to love me, then I would therefore BE lovable If I had taken up witchcraft and cast a love spell, or found someone to do it for me, I would never have come to a most important life revelation This is, of course, the revelation that no one can really, truly love us until we discover that unconditional love for ourselves We need this self-love to be present in our own hearts first and foremost Ethics aside, I daresay it would feel terribly unfulfilling to be loved by someone simply because a love spell made them do it If you didn't come by the love honestly and naturally, wouldn't you still feel unworthy of their love Now, all this assumes that love spells really do work, and that you really can "make" another human being fall in love with you by casting a spell As I said, I have no experience with love spells so I really couldn't say For the sake of argument, let's presume that love spells do work It's never ethical to take away another human being's free will, and a love spell does exactly that A love spell is a form of coercion, and it's especially harmful because the person usually has no idea they're being coerced How do you supposed your beloved would feel, upon discovering they were manipulated into loving you Wouldn't it be far better to allow them to decide for themselves whether they loved you, rather than having false feelings as a result of a love spell Nevertheless, there is one type of love spell that I believe could fall under the realm of ethical This would be a love spell that's done with the intent to make you feel more attractive, outgoing or self-confident, much like a great new 'do or wardrobe might This love spell bolsters up the positive feelings you already possess rather than falsely creating them in others When you feel good about you, others are naturally attracted to that positive vibration Love spells can help you bring the one you love nearer to you Many people out there choose someone else to do their love spells for them but this requires money However there are a number of sites available online which allow people to cast their own love spells for free Love spells basically involves casting a spell on someone by forcing them to love you, this is not the best way to go about things This is why many psychics advise people to cast a spell which brings the person who is right for them nearer People out there should understand that relationships cannot be forced and if something is meant to happen it will regardless you casting a spell Whenever you are casting a love spell go in with a positive attitude and try reaching for simple goals that are achievable One of the most famous love spells involves creating your perfect match This spell involves you picturing your perfect match and the way they look It also involves you creating a perfect environment for him and yourself Many people make list of all the things they want in their relationship Love spell casters advise people to look at that list and read it every day till it starts becoming true Let him have no peace of mind until he comes to me' This spell is cast three times on each occasion, but in the third time the wordings are altered a bit There are lots of sites online that help in casting love spells so that you can get back with your lost love in order to heal your broken relationship These spell casters are willing to listen to your story without passing any judgment These spells help in bring healing, light and divinity into your love life and relationships Psychic readings help in understanding and providing guidance in the toughest of times so that you can make the right choices There are various types of love spells available each serving a different purpose Some want to save their marriage, others want to heal a broken relationship, or bring back the love that is lost, these love spells will help you find the love you are looking for If your purpose in finding a love spell is true and honest than these love spells are ethically good and will not cause any harm These love spells will help in healing and finding solution to the root cause of your problem These spells bring close to you an honest chance of having a true and harmonious relationship which will last for centuries They help in bringing divine love close and offer you the results that you are looking for Are you wondering how to get a Scorpio man to fall in love with you These fine men are especially sensitive and love

  • Rural Hysteria: Genre of the Reimagined Past, Spectacle of Aids, and Queer Politics in Diana Lee Inosanto’S the Sensei
    RURAL HYSTERIA: GENRE OF THE REIMAGINED PAST, SPECTACLE OF AIDS, AND QUEER POLITICS IN DIANA LEE INOSANTO’S THE SENSEI Kendall Joseph Binder A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2013 Committee: Becca Cragin, Advisor Jeffrey Allan Brown Marilyn Ferris Motz © 2013 Kendall Joseph Binder All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Becca Cragin, Advisor Diana Inosanto reimagines the 1980s AIDS epidemic in her film, The Sensei (2008) and implements cultural issues on rurality, sexuality, and tolerance within the overall narrative structure. Finding it important to use the works of Rick Altman, John G. Cawelti, and Fredric Jameson, I theorize how postmodernism affects film genres and their evolution through pastiche and historical events. Within this genre cycle, The Sensei fits into several other film genre types that include the queer film, AIDS film, and martial arts film. Drawing from the works of Richard Dyer, B. Ruby Rich, Kylo-Patrick Hart, and David West, I place The Sensei into each category to develop thoughts on how hybrid genres work into film creation. Analyzing the works on myths of the small town and rurality, assumptions about queer migration, and stigmatizations about AIDS, I attempt to disprove these myths and assumptions through the works of Bud W. Jerke, Judith Halberstam, Michael Kennedy, and Emily Kazyak. My overall goal is to project social awareness about queer cultural geography, issues with AIDS in rural areas, and the vitalization of anti-bullying issues that have saturated our media landscape within the last two decades using Inosanto’s The Sensei as a vehicle to evoke thought.

  • Personas of Warzone
    Personas of Warzone There are many personalities that have risen to the ranks of fame or notoriety, and many are included in existing armies. These few do not begin to scratch the surface of how many heroes and villains inhabit the Solar System, fighting in the various warzones across the planets. These steps will allow you to create your own characters to add your own individuality and narrative to your armies. 1. Name the Character 2. Select Character Type 3. Select Weapons 4. Select Additional Abilities Example: Lt. Butters starts out as a Capitol Airborne Cavalry for (+18) PTS. Air Cavalry are Level 1 so add (+30). He decides to swap out his M50 Assault rifle for an M606 LMG for (+10) PTS and his Air Cavalry Knife for a Punisher Shortsword (+10) PTS. He has also received extra training to be more vigilant, so he adds (+10) for Guardsman. His total points cost is 78. 1. Name the Character: The first thing you need to do is come up with a suitable heroic or villainous name for the new Character. This should reflect the theme and feel of the Mutant Chronicles universe! 2. Select Character Type: Start with a base squad All models lose “Type: Troop, Support, Monster, Small Base” and gain “Type: Character, Unique, Medium Base”. Models with larger bases in their entry keep the base size of that entry. All models come with the standard Equipment and Abilities listed in the corresponding squad entry, as well as appropriate Squad Options. Dark Legion Characters may choose up to 2 Dark Symmetry powers unless otherwise stated in the entry.

    Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.

  • Idioms-And-Expressions.Pdf
    Idioms and Expressions by David Holmes A method for learning and remembering idioms and expressions I wrote this model as a teaching device during the time I was working in Bangkok, Thai- land, as a legal editor and language consultant, with one of the Big Four Legal and Tax companies, KPMG (during my afternoon job) after teaching at the university. When I had no legal documents to edit and no individual advising to do (which was quite frequently) I would sit at my desk, (like some old character out of a Charles Dickens’ novel) and prepare language materials to be used for helping professionals who had learned English as a second language—for even up to fifteen years in school—but who were still unable to follow a movie in English, understand the World News on TV, or converse in a colloquial style, because they’d never had a chance to hear and learn com- mon, everyday expressions such as, “It’s a done deal!” or “Drop whatever you’re doing.” Because misunderstandings of such idioms and expressions frequently caused miscom- munication between our management teams and foreign clients, I was asked to try to as- sist. I am happy to be able to share the materials that follow, such as they are, in the hope that they may be of some use and benefit to others. The simple teaching device I used was three-fold: 1. Make a note of an idiom/expression 2. Define and explain it in understandable words (including synonyms.) 3. Give at least three sample sentences to illustrate how the expression is used in context.
