      How to make a character. Alliance or Horde? Different "races" available.
    • AndreaLee EWSIS
       
      Each character is assigned a role at your decision. Play in a group or individually.
    • AndreaLee EWSIS
       
      Professions are different from roles. You can actually get useful skills fit for that profession.
    • AndreaLee EWSIS
       
      A "guild" is like a club for players.

      Different areas added because of new editions. Objective is to earn experience points to level up and become better. There is communication through text chat. While traveling, one could ride a boat or a plane.
    • AndreaLee EWSIS
       
      Includes holiday-based events and uses weather effects. How sentimental.
    • AndreaLee EWSIS
       
      General idea of questing. Awards and experience points are given after completing a quest.
    • AndreaLee EWSIS
       
      This paragraph explains the types of quests. Death happens but characters can be brought back to life.
    • AndreaLee EWSIS
       
      This paragraph shows that one can improve "reputation." There are rare abilities available.
    • AndreaLee EWSIS
       
      Overall, I am very bored of this lesson and feel that this is pointless because I really don't care about the history or explanation of the "Gameplay of World of Warcraft." Plus, this game is rather boring and makes me not want to play. Great.

Report from Haiti: Desperate Call for Aid with Rescue Equipment, Medicine, Food & Water... - 0 views

  • I didn’t see a single aid worker or a single official aid convoy from the Haitian government or from an aid agency or from the peacekeeping force that’s here, the United Nations.
    • AndreaLee EWSIS
       
      Well, where are they
  • I think that some parts of the city do have electricity. Also phone service is really spotty, but occasionally it seems to work. I’ve been able to receive a few calls and, just on occasion, make a call out. But many times, there is no service.

"The Sound of Screaming Is Constant" - Haiti Devastated by Massive Earthquake, Desperat... - 0 views

  • It’s just people either singing and praying or just really loud screams. And there’s been a lot of tremors over the last two days, so when the earth shakes again, much more mildly, people start to scream again. So it’s a really eerie sound.
    • AndreaLee EWSIS
       
      The people must be very devastated.

What Causes Overeating?: A Discussion of Food and Environmental Factors Affecting Intake - 0 views

  • Atmospheric factors include things such as lighting and noise level. Different research studies demonstrate that soft or dimmed lighting encourages longer eating duration and increased food intake, by promoting an atmosphere of comfort, encouraging dinners to stay longer and order an extra drink or dessert. Additionally, soft music tends to favor a slower eating pace, longer meal duration and a higher consumption of both food and drink.
  • Studies describe that meals eaten with others are larger than when eaten alone.
  • Being aware of food and environmental factors that influence one’s food intake is a first step to fight back and reduce their pull.

  • Advisory board members also will provide cultural and behavioral insights useful to Adrenalina's team of cognitive and cultural anthropologists, or "cogs," the new school version of the old school account planners' model that emphasizes culture ahead of brand consumerism.
  • "We believe this kind of collaboration between academics, strategists and corporate enterprise will be powerful and mutually beneficial in helping to better define a culture, tell its story accurately and vastly change the tone and understanding of the impact that multicultural consumers will have on future generations,"
  • "We've brought together three of the nation's brightest minds and set into motion a formal program for examining, developing and furthering the discussion about the nation's transformation into a new America,"

African Cultural Anthropology | Socyberty - 0 views

  • While each of the other human sciences e.g. psychology, biology etc, concentrate on one or other aspect of man, Anthropology is not limited to any particular aspect of man. Rather, it studies man in his totality as a group member.
  • In its study of man, anthropology is helped by philosophy which defines man as animale rationale (i.e. a rational animal).
  • There are therefore two principal aspects in man: the rational and the animal, the soul and the body.

      Guilt.
  •  
    I was searching for a poem about "unfaithful Catholics," and found this. It is not a good poem, but it will do for now. Maybe I just don't know what to search for, because my topic is about, "Catholics who don't practice their religion." This poem is about a woman who has made a promise she can't keep to her husband or lover, but finds herself tangled in an affair. She doesn't know what to do.

Religion and divorce - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

    • AndreaLee EWSIS
       
      This is important because Catholicism is the only religion that does not allow for a divorce.
  • "Let not the wife depart from her husband...let not the husband put away his wife" (1 Corinthians 7:10-11), but he also includes the Pauline privilege.
    • AndreaLee EWSIS
       
      This demonstrates that Jesus did not support divorces. (What is the Pauline privilege?)
  • For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth. . . . So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Biblical law in Christianity
  • consummated sacramental
  • Dharmic religions do not have a concept of divorce. A person following these religions cannot divorce his/her spouse. However, the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 applicable to Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, and Jains in India does have provisions for divorce under some circumstances.
    • AndreaLee EWSIS
       
      This is important, well not really, because I can compare other religions with Catholicism.
  • However, divorced Catholics are still welcome to participate fully in the life of the church so long as they have not remarried against church law,
  • Since Deuteronomy 24:1-4 did not give Jewish women the right to directly initiate a divorce (See Agunah), did Jesus' answers "in the house" to his disciples expand the rights of women or did they merely acknowledge that some Jewish women, such as Herodias who divorced Herod Boethus, were wrongfully taking rights because Jewish women were being assimilated by other cultures?

      Just wondering if this paragraph does me any good. It feels as if though I need prior information to understand.

Got Arachnophobia? Here's Your Worst Nightmare - New York Times - 0 views

  •  
    I am learning more about "Arachnophobia" right now, and in particular what I am wondering about is: "Why am I so scared of spiders?" I was searching online, and this new item caught my attention because it gave me goosebumps as I read the title.\n\n"Or it could be a striking example of what is known as ballooning, in which lightweight spiders throw out silk filaments to ride the air currents. Five years ago, in just that way, a mass dispersal of millions of tiny spiders covered 60 acres of clover field in British Columbia with thick webbing. "\n\nExactly! I am so scared thinking about a gush of web filled spiders flying in the air and making a domination in one area. I don't want to keep reading anymore. \n\nNow I don't know if I want to keep researching this, or maybe I can overcome my free this way.\n

Mapping Main Street » A Collaborative Documentary Media Project - 2 views

  •  
    This was a radio program where students had the chance to record and edit stories. There are four stories about steam buns, the Flushing Pimp, culture, and the Main Street Cinema. \n\nI worked on the "Searching for Main Street's Flushing Pimp" with Helen and Rayon. Being biased, our video was the best! We had the experience to learn how to become detectives and even deemed ourselves as the Flushing Detectives. \n\nThis is about a man who dressed similarly to a pimp. In class, we heard two of the radio stories created by East-West students. Helen, Rayon, and I worked on the "Searching for the Main Street Flushing Pimp," and Hawa, Alexis, and Melissa created "Steam Buns 'R' Us." It wouldn't be fun to talk about my group's project, so I'll describe the other team's work. You guys can check it out on www.mappingmainstreet.com and look for the Radio Rookies work in Queens, New York. The thing about this podcast was that it uses the member's love for food and Asian culture. When Melissa explained the origins of steam buns, I felt a wave of uncertainty. I wasn't sure if I wanted to eat human heads. However, the use of history embedded into the podcast is amazingly well thought out. I felt as if though, they really took some depth into their story than just regular adventure. Another strong part that I thought added onto their story was the interview with the nutritionist. People who eat steam buns should have the right to know what they are eating and whether it was healthy. 360 calories for four buns is surprisingly a decent meal! There is nothing to disagree or agree with, but all I can say is how awesome that podcast was; from editing to a diverse number of interviewees. Great job guys!

Social Anxiety And Panic Symptoms Help | Health & Fitness Tools - 0 views

  •  
    I was searching up, "phobia reasons and symptoms," and this item came up. It focuses on two types of phobias, Agoraphobia and sociophobia.\n\n"Agoraphobia like social phobia, affects more women than it does men. Sufferers of agoraphobia are terrified of panic attacks occurring in public places. Common fears are crowded environments and places where one can't escape easily. Meetings, standing in a queue or elevator are common situations that spark fear."
