- 1024: Generalized Anxiety Disorder

- 1025: I And II Thessalonians
- ... Paul did not write II Thessalonians deals with the situation of eschatology. Eschatology is dealt with in opposite ways in the two letters. In Paul’s agreed work of I Thessalonians, he says that, “the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night” (5:2 NRSV). This is Paul’s way of urging his fellow followers to be ready at any moment for the return of Jesus. Conversely, in the second letter, Paul says that the people will know when Christ will return because there will be many events to warn them. “…For the day will not come unless the rebellion comes first and the lawless one is revealed…” (2:3 NRSV). These two depictions of the events surrounding the Parousia differ in great detail. They differ so much so ... used in I Thessalonians 1:3 and in II Thessalonians 1:11 (NRSV).

- 1026: Analysis of The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
- ... Wing." The entire ninth stanza describes the summer month "that brings the Rose" taking "Jamshyd and Kaikobad away", and so forth and so on ad nauseum. Again, in the fifty-third stanza: "You gaze To-Day, while You are You-how then/ Tomorrow, You when shall be You no more?" The poet seems to be in an incredible hurry to get this life going before some cosmic deadline comes due, and ... angel. It's clear this person has something of an obsession. But all of these seemingly transparent references to drinking beg for a deeper analysis. Writing a really great poem about blowing off the next day to get trashed does not get you into the literary canon. Of particular interest is the symbol of the "Cup" or "Bowl" (or even "Pot" at one point in the poem), and the "Wine" that ... the wine unless you drink it, but b) the more you drink, the quicker it ends. Now a different theme arises from the symbols the author is using. Is it really time to "Seize the Day" and drink it up while we have the chance? The sixty-third stanza uses another symbol to explain it: "One thing is certain and the rest is Lies/ The Flower that once has blown ...

- ... pesticides than ever, so that we can have the perfect fruit or vegetable. Pesticides are everywhere in the food children eat and the levels of toxicity are alarming. According to the Environmental Working Group, “every day, 1 million American children age 5 and under consume unsafe levels of a class of pesticides that can harm the developing brain and nervous system” Given this information the use of pesticides on food should ... reason children are particularly sensitive is that the same amount of a pesticide has a greater effect on a small body than a large one. Children are strange eaters. Dining on nothing but cherries one day, they may consume 10 times more food and in turn, become more sensitive because chemicals may initiate cancer more readily in the rapidly dividing cells of children than in the quiescent cells of adults. Neurotoxins ... should not have to drink toxins. We need tighter rules and regulations on pesticides because they are putting a dent in our children’s future.
