Parallel Structure

Have you ever heard the saying, "The Fools mistakes are known to the world but not to himself, and the Wise Mans mistakes are known to himself but no to the world?" This is called parallel structure. These two sentences are similar in many ways, but slightly different.

Navidad en Spain

The traditional Spanish Christmas food is known as 'Pavo Trufado de Navidad', which means turkey stuffed with truffles (the mushrooms, not chocolates). In a place called Galicia, a region in North-West Spain, surrounded by water, the most popular meal for Christmas is seafood: shellfish, mollusks, lobster, and even small crabs.

Questions

You are buying ice cream for a party at your school, in which 1500 students will attend. 1. What is the population in the above scenario? 2. Give two reasons why you wouldn't survey the entire population? 3. Describe the sample you would survey, and explain why you chose that sample. 4. How would you use the results of your survey to make a generalization about students’ preferred ice cream flavors?

1. The 1500 students attending
2. It would take a really, really, really long time... unless we use Google Survey
3. Perhaps a randomly selected thirty, and to keep the survey from being biased, 15 will be male, 15 will be female, 10 from each side etc.
4. We can say each person questioned counts for 50 people. We can then find

Invictus

Invictus: impossible to defeat, unconquered, in the sense "you can beat someone physically, but you can never break what they think is true."

27 years in a tiny cramped cell, working long hours in hard work every day. How can that not break your spirit? People would go insane, wouldn't they? But then, why didn't Nelson Mandela? There is an obvious answer, he ,quite simply, really wanted to change South Africa. But still, I don't think that anyone could ever survive for 27 years like that. Perhaps it was the poem that he always kept with him, that made everything seem possible. The poem to him, was probably a sign of hope- and a sign that no one could break his spirit. Without the idea that anyone could break his mind, he could continue living normally in a place where everything was hopeless.

So does that mean that your mind is only broken if you think it can be? The key to not giving up is not thinking it is possible to give up? Or is it merely a sense of hope, that your dream might suddenly turn around and go your way? Or does Mandela's poem symbolize something completely different to him?

The Gigantic Explosive Magma-Spewing Murderous Monstrosities that Have Been Benefitting Us All Along

When you think about volcanoes, you probably think of them as a major problem to mankind- massacring tons of people with each explosion. Well, here's a bigger problem: How do we get power without polluting the atmosphere? Water is too inefficient, solar only works in the sun, nuclear can irradiate the landscape with one puncture. That leaves Geothermal Energy- obtaining power from the heat of a volcano. No pollution, no inefficiency, no special timing, no danger of explosions!

So volcanoes are amazing ways to create free power. Also, volcanic ash, which might seem to pollute, actually fertilizes the soil making some of the most nutrient-rich plants on the earth! Massive savannah are created by volcanoes. So for one year, death and destruction, but for the next twenty years, LIFE!

And of course the garden variety benefits- gemstones, natural spas, all sorts of reasonably average benefits.

So volcanoes are actually useful!
