Introduction Dreams are a communication of body mind and spirit in a symbolic communicative environmental state of being ( Spence, C., Pavani, F., Maravita, A., & Holmes, N. Journal of Physiology (Paris ). Your brain, mind, and spirit while at rest “review” analyses in its own way a long-term short-term, and spirit memory. It has its background the trend of your life and the philosophy to influence it. Since the beginning of mankind, dreams have become objects of boundless fascination and mysteries to all. These nocturnal images that we see while sleeping may arise from some source other than our ordinary mind. They contain a mixture of elements from our personal identity which we recognize as familiar along with a quality of otherness in the dream image that carries a sense of the strange and eerie. Dreams point to deeper meaning and certain rational and insightful comments on our walking situation and emotional experience. History and traditional beliefs have made us believe that dreams are messages from the spiritual realms but today we have come to believe that they are messages from a deeper source of wisdom and understanding within ourselves. Every dream is said to be a message from some deeper unconscious self to the more conscious everyday part of oneself expressed in a language that needs to e learned and understood. Dreams have been called the royal roads to conscious meaning that they would be a window to the soul. The dreams you can’t forget Dreams that one cannot forget are known as lucid dreams, in the sense of mental clarity ( Driver, J., & Spence, C. (2000). Multisensory perception: Beyond modularity and convergence) . Lucidity usually begins in the middle of a dream when the dreamer realizes that the experience is not occurring in physical reality but it is a dream. Such dreams would include flying or meeting with deceased persons. Some people attain this lucidity without notifying any particular clue in the dream, they just suddenly realize that they are dreaming. A minority of lucid dreams are a result of a returning to sleep directly from awakening reflective consciousness. The basic definition of a lucid dream is nothing other than becoming aware that you are dreaming but the quality of lucidity can vary greatly when lucidity is at s high level, you are aware that everything experienced in the dream is occurring in the mind, and that it is not a real danger and that you are sleeping in bed and you will awaken shortly. In low-level lucidity, you are aware to a certain extent that you are dreaming perhaps to fly or alter what you are doing but not enough to realize that the people are representations, or that you can suffer no physical damage, or that you are actually in bed. Dreams are said to be like opening a door to the rest of the mind, all of one’s friends, fears, phobias, hopes, wishes, good ti
Introduction LIDAR is an abbreviation which stands for Light Detection and Ranging. Light Detection and Ranging is among the modernized technological systems that have gained major fame in the recent decades as a method of examining the conditions of the earth’s surface. This technique involves the use of a remote sensing system that is widely applied in the approximation of the distances to and from particular points on the earth’s surface (Hodgson et. al. 2003). An expert operating the system achieves accurate data from the entire exercise through an illumination of targeted points using laser light (Beniston, et. al. 1990). Description Other than archaeology, the Light Detection and Ranging is predominant in many fields, some of which include seismology, geology, forestry and geomorphology (Hodgson et. al.2003). This paper, therefore, presents a discussion of a site, analyzes various critical comments of the site’s interpretation as well as provides an understanding of various types of landscapes. In addition, the discussion also provides a comparison between the site description and other sites within the region through the use of diagrams and illustrations. To begin with, the Ebsbury is situated on a grid reference of SU061354. This site as such is located to the western side of the village of Wishford. There also exists a summit linked to the hill of Ebsbury which has a height of approximately one hundred and seventy five meters (175 m). In addition to the summit, there lies the site of Grovely castle, which is situated to the West of Ebsbury. Furthermore, Ebsbury neighbors one of the largest forests in the Wiltshire known as the Grovely Wood. In a more specific identity, the site is situated in the St. Martin parish, Barford in the famous Wiltshire (Rosso, Austin, & Hastings, 2006). Ebsbury as a site is composed of files systems, enclosed systems of the Romano-British settlements and the Iron Age, as well as the hill fort (Hodgson et. Al. 2003). An individual taking a closer look at the current scenes of the site (Ebsbury) would take a note of the conspicuous ditches, even though these ditches are no closer to completion (Beniston, et. al. 1990). It is also evident that there had been a series of agricultural activities, which were conducted by the initial inhabitants, thus leaving behind observable earthworks. Along the hillside, one would also observe E-shaped landmarks which attracted
Goodbye Columbus is a story highlighting the differences between people from the high class of society, the middle class and the low class. The story is one in a collection of short stories. This is in the novella Goodbye Columbus authored by Philip Roth. It also depicts the challenges that are present in a society that made up of a mixture of Jews and Americans. This provides a platform for highlighting the issues that affects the Jewish and American religions. The other issue is that of African Americans and how they coexist with others in the society. Peter Roth uses dialogue to enhance the theme in the novel Goodbye Columbus . The book highlights the themes of Jews and racism. Narcist sentiments are also portrayed in the library. The small boy in the book is black and he is being forced to take the book home. This is in order for him to reduce his visits to the library. The conversation identifies the perception that exists against the middle class in the society (Royal 5). The boy frequents the library and it is obvious that he is really interested in understanding his religion. Though the librarian’s efforts to discourage the boy from frequenting the library are intense, he is focused. This dialogue has played a role in showing the religious differences that are present in the society at this time. The dialogue is a reflection of the Jewish – American relationship. It is a reflection of the relationship between the African Americans and others in the society and how the former are looked down upon. The dialogue has portrayed the strain in the relationship between Americans and Jews. The themes portrayed are religion and racism among others. These are portrayed by the help of the dialogue. The dialogue also contributes to the flow of the plot. Its main purpose is to portray the themes and enhance the plot of the story (Royal 5). The second paragraph is a reflection of Neil’s previous conversation with Brenda. Brenda comes from a well to do family and has been into the library. Neil comes from a poor background and the fact that he is poor means that has never been to the library and has no thoughts of stepping into it. This is why he looks into the mirror and wishes he were different on the outside. This explores the theme of racism and disparities in social status. The author shows his prowess in using psycho analyses in his writing. This is also defined as symbolism. The excerpt has many feat
Introduction Anxiety disorder is the most prevalent mental illness in the U.S and less than half of the adults diagnosed are being treated. When an adult is diagnosed with an anxiety disorder the condition can affect their daily lives. Anxiety disorders are commonly diagnosed with a depressive disorder as well. Anxiety issues are often underrecognized and undertreated in primary care. Previous data states that, “Anxiety disorders should be treated with psychological therapy, pharmacotherapy, or a combination of both,” but new study and research is revealing the effectiveness of psychedelic drugs as a form of treatment for anxiety disorders in adults aged 21 and older (Bandelow, 2017). When developing a treatment plan for anxiety and depressive disorders the adverse effects and interactions that are common among selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor medications can be seen. With the increasing rise in diagnosis of anxiety disorders in adults, there is a need for more treatment options for patients struggling. Research in the effects of psychedelic drugs on adults diagnosed with depressive and anxiety disorders has been ongoing since the 1940s and continues to show beneficial effects (Weston, 2020). This study’s aim is to measure the safety and effectiveness of DMT and psilocybin as treatment for adults over the age of 21 with depression and anxiety by examining existing research. Literature Review Significance Statement The reviewed research is significant because understanding the effects of psychedelic drugs such as psilocybin and DMT can allow for more treatment options that do not require selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) medication and the side effects that come with those medications for patients that are twenty-one and older with a diagnosis depression and/or anxiety. Due to psilocybin and DMT being a Schedule I drug, it has not been included frequently in studies relating to improving mood in adult patients over the age of twenty-one diagnosed with depression or anxiety. “US federal funding has yet to support therapeutic psilocybin research, although such support will be important to thoroughly investigate efficacy, safety, and therapeutic mechanisms” (Johnson, p.1, 2017). Further funding and research will allow for a better understanding of psychedelic drugs such as psilocybin, and expand on treatment plans for adult patients diagnosed with anxiety and/or depression, especially for those patients who have had negative side effects from SSRIs, such as increased suicidal thoughts and mood swings. Hypotheses Of four psychedelics drugs we have chosen to research, psilocybin will show the most significant improvement in depressive symptoms and anxiety in adults ages 21 and up. Sample & Setting Methods Sample   * Inclusion and exclusion criteria: Participants included in this study should be at least 21 years old, able to read and write in English fluently, be willing to complete various task such as a baseline assessment, pre/post-session surveys, and be willing to provide information regarding their date of birth, residentia
The facts of the McKinney v. Arizona case James McKinney and Charles Hedlund looted five homes in Phoenix, Arizona, in early 1991. Christine Mertens was beaten and stabbed by McKinney and Hedlund during one of the robberies. In the process of the robbery, McKinney killed Mertens by shooting her. Jim McClain was shot and murdered by McKinney and Hedlund with a sawed-off weapon in another heist. McKinney was found guilty of two charges of first-degree murder in 1992 by a jury (Death Penalty Information Center). McKinney was sentenced to death after a jury found him guilty of two murders with aggravating circumstances (McKinney v. Arizona). Arizona’s Supreme Court affirmed McKinney’s death penalties on the grounds of insufficient evidence. The decision made by the U.S. Supreme Court in the McKinney v. Arizona case The State of Arizona requested a second hearing of McKinney’s death sentence from the “Arizona Supreme” Court in 2018. Justice Hurwitz stated, “Independent review is the paradigm of direct review – we determine, de novo, whether the trial court, on the facts before it, properly sentenced the defendant to death” (McKinney v. Arizona). Because of a constitutional mistake that occurred in the previous appeal, this case required a fresh direct hearing of the death penalty, which was granted by the Supreme Court (McKinney v. Arizona). Concerning the case of Ring v. Arizona, the Supreme Court ruled that perpetrators are eligible for a jury decision of any fact that warrants a rise in a maximum sentence where there are mitigating factors. The Arizona Supreme Court upheld the state appellate jury’s ruling, holding that a court may perform a re-evaluation of the contributing instead of a jury in cases involving the death sentence. In doing so, the Court failed to follow the Supreme Court’s ruling in Eddings v. Oklahoma, which established that a death sentence must also take significant mitigating factors into account as a legal matter. The Arizona Supreme Court examined a jury rehearing in McKinney’s case, and McKinney’s case was upheld on appeal. The violence and trauma he suffered as a youngster triggered his PTSD (McKinney v. Arizona). Despite this and the evidence and extenuating factors, the Supreme Court concurred with the StatState confirming death penalties twice. How the Court’s decision will affect the lives of We the People Due process for crime victims is guaranteed in both the United States and the Arizona Federal Constitution. Re-sentencing offenders would prolong their case, expose them to appeal and post-conviction punishment, and increase the prospect that additional guilty individuals will seek similar grief sentencing. There is a risk that the numerous victims of these previously handled crimes might be re-burdened (American Bar Association). A perpetrator is retraumatized each time they appear in Court for a new phase of litigation, resulting in severe damage to the healing and rehabilitation required for crime victims and their families. Personal opinion as to the Court’s decision I concur with the Court’s ruling on the grounds it used to deliver a verdict to McKinney. I feel that an insanity defense was employe
The democratization of Japan is one of the most significant historical facts in the world. In just a short time beginning in the Meiji era, Japan embarked on a journey to change its systems. The success of postwar democratization is still visible in the present day Japan. There are several virtues and flaws that apply to Japan’s democratic system but the main issue in this democratization is the elements that made democracy fully acceptable in Japan. The building of a post-war democracy in Japan was widely a successful endeavor and various nation builders have attempted to replicate this success. Nevertheless, the enduring question when it comes to democratization of post-war Japan is who can be credited with the successful execution of this post-war process. This essay argues that the Japanese people are the main agents in the successful democratization of post-war Japan due to their support of the new constitution and their spirit of cooperation. It is often argued that by the year 1945, democracy was not an alien concept in Japan, but a failed one. The country had various elements of democracy at the time including universal male suffrage, plural political parties, and other aspects of civil rights. Consequently, the Japanese people were familiar with democratic systems and that is the reason American powers pushed for a parliamentary democracy. The Americans’ only contribution in this regard was in realizing that Japan was more receptive towards a parliamentary system as opposed to a ‘balance of powers system’. Another credit of the Japanese people was that they had initiated various social movements even before the occupation. These movements sought to fight for greater political inclusion, social justice, and labor rights. The presence of activism within the Japanese population can be credited with nudging the advent of the parliamentary form of government. This is a clear indicator that the Japanese were not forced into participation through the influence of Allied Forces and the occupation. The population already had some ‘heat’ even before 1945. The argument that the force of the Americans that brought change to Japan fails on account that there was a history of resistance in the country. Therefore, if the Japanese did not want the democratic institutions they could have easily mounted a resistance. The cooperation of the Japanese people is the ultimate contribution of democratization in post-war Japan. In support of this argument, scholars point out the fact that “Colonel Charles Kades insisted that no restrictions (could) be placed on amendment of the constitution…and his faith in the Japanese acceptance of democracy was well founded” (Moore and Robinson 26). Furthermore, the new constitution received support from all quarters of population mostly because it promised a reprieve against oppression and suffering. Although the Americans facilitated this process, the real credit should be given to the Japanese people. Overall, the Americans only gave Japanese what they required but it was the peop
It is evident that social media has negative and positive impacts on the lives of many people. MySpace, Facebook, Twitter and other social media networks have brought changes to the communication industry. This can be attributed to advanced technology and innovation. Equally, many people are conducting research with an aim of contributing to social media. In my opinion, social media is part of the human life in the 21st century. In fact, it has reached a point where people cannot do without social media. However, social media has two contradicting perspectives. One of the perspectives views social media as an aspect that has made life easy as compared to the last century. On the other hand, some people view social media as an aspect that has made more harm than good to society. Thus, this paper seeks to bring out the two aspects in a clear manner. Social media has enabled people to get connected regardless of the distance between them. For instance, social media has facilitated communication between people in different continents. It has been determined to be the best and cheapest way of communication. Unlike the use of cellphones, there is an opportunity for video conferencing. Research shows that the only cost incurred encompasses internet services. Once a person is connected to a reliable internet service provider, they can communicate with their friends, peers, family members and other people in any part of the world. Social media has enabled many people to get connected in many parts of the world. Equally, remarkable business operations have been accomplished through social media. In the same way, social media has enabled people that had lost contact to reunite. Besides, people need not travel because they can use video conferencing to communicate via social media. Thus, travel costs and the burden associated with traveling have been eliminated by the use of social media. Equally, social media is used in marketing and advertising activities. This presents customers and consumers an opportunity to make a choice of products that they need. Additionally, social media has seen to it that there is proper dissemination of information of consumer products. Thus, it has seen the proliferation of business activities across the globe. On the other hand, some people view social media as a bad thing. In fact, some people have associated social media with negative aspects. For instance, they claim that social media makes people lazy. Before social media was invented, people travelled so that they would meet with other people. In most cases, people would walk to the place where they agreed to meet. Equally, after meeting, some people would decide to take a walk. This made them active and made their bodies healthy. However, the introduction of social media brought about many changes. People became lazy because they would communicate at the comfort of their beds and couches. Further, this made them have poor health. In fact, most users of social media do not travel or even go for walks. Hence, the body does not burn the extra calories resulting in excess weight gain and the associated medical conditions. Also, some schools
A Brief Summary of the Current Position and Any Risks for SABIC/B&W The role or purchasing and supply chain management in any modern organisation cannot be ignored. Indeed, purchasing and supply chain management form one of the major competitiveness factors that separate one organisation from the other in terms of efficiency, good service delivery, and most importantly, profits. Therefore, it is easy to understand why there has been an increased focus on aligning organisation’s purchasing and supplier roles with the overall organisational goals in the recent past (Baier 52). With reference to SABIC, it is commendable that despite its non-existent purchasing and supply function, it has achieved a substantial level of success in its business as evidenced by its recent acquisition plans for B&W, which has been a major supplier for a long time. The recent realisation that its supply chain has been a one-man show with high handedness towards suppliers is rather unfortunate. It indicates a high level of organisational inadequacies and ineffectiveness. However, on the bright side, it is a clear indication that the opportunities that SABIC has are very high and that it can achieve great success if it can utilise its available human capital resources together with resources the to-be-acquired company, B&W. B&W has a better organisation management structure and processes that are very enviable. SABIC can incorporate them its quest of establishing a better purchasing and supply processes in its operations. For instance, apart from having a highly effective purchasing and supply management process, B&W has patented some of its processes that will be very handy in the efforts that SABIC will put forward. The patented processes at B&W are owned through BoZ. They will be incorporated into SABIC through BoZ. This plan implies that it has acquired intellectual rights to use the knowledge resources of another organisation to ensure better operations. However, inheriting the model of purchase and supplies for B&W introduces major risks to SABIC. For instance, adopting the system as it is may be a big shift for SABIC, which has different operations and requirements for its business. As such, it will be very important for SABIC and B&W to work closely to ensure that the system can be adjusted accordingly to be well configured with the organisational requirements at SABIC. Without such an approach, the patented process will only introduce major challenges and inefficiencies that SABIC is seeking to avoid. Consequently, it is very essential for the two parties to work together to ensure that the new SABIC process will effectively meet its needs without jeopardising its activities. It will offer a better efficiency and more effectiveness, which will lead to healthier business, competitiveness, supplier engagement, and customer experience and loyalty. Ano
