As he dug into personal data more and looked closer at company privacy policies, he wondered what it might be like if individuals profited from their own data. That is, companies make money using the data we passively generate while we browse and use applications and visit sites. Enter Zannier's Kickstarter campaign to sell his own data for $2 per day of activity. I started looking at the terms of service for the websites I often use. Clearly this is more of a statement and conversation starter, but what if? There's about a week left in the campaign, and it's well past the goal.
Top 20 Figures of Speech - Figurative Language - Definitions and Examples of Figures of Speech By Richard Nordquist Updated September 22, 2015. A figure of speech is a rhetorical device that achieves a special effect by using words in distinctive ways. Though there are hundreds of figures of speech (many of them included in our Tool Kit for Rhetorical Analysis), here we'll focus on just 20 of the most common figures. You will probably remember many of these terms from your English classes. Figurative language is often associated with literature--and with poetry in particular. But the fact is, whether we're conscious of it or not, we use figures of speech every day in our own writing and conversations. For example, common expressions such as "falling in love," "racking our brains," "hitting a sales target," and "climbing the ladder of success" are all metaphors--the most pervasive figure of all. Using original figures of speech in our writing is a way to convey meanings in fresh, unexpected ways. continue reading below our video Loaded: 0% Progress: 0% The Top 20 Figures

Metaverse Roadmap: Pathways to the 3D Web In-Vesica Beginnings Healer In-Vesica mixed media collage by Allison L. Williams Hill The beginnings of understanding and communing with Spirit in-vesica move us to our origin but, in this world, feels like a strange state. Being lead in faith is not a lesson most of us receive while we are impressionable. When we step over the threshold after trusting that which is unseen, a tremendous load of skepticism, distrust, and uncertainty lifts. Vesica Piscis is the geometric term for two circles intersecting each circle's center. It is within that space where a medium is receptive to all kinds of knowledge and gathers information; a psychic "sees" any existence past, present or future, and a healer administers energy to a being in need. River II by Allison L. A medium bridges the physical world and the spiritual world, the seen and the unseen. <A HREF=" The books above are only some of what I've come across over the years. in-vesica.

Profiles: The Demon-Lover “The Hour of the Wolf,” a film that is probably the darkest of Ingmar Bergman’s journeys into his shadowy interior, the protagonist, an artist beset by night sweats, is fishing off a craggy promontory on an island where he has come to live. A pesky young boy materializes and by degrees invades the artist’s tranquillity. They grapple; the boy scrambles onto the artist’s back, tearing at his neck and trying to devour him. The artist smashes the boy against the cliff, then beats his head in with a rock, and finally, with a curious gentleness, lowers the vanquished demon of childhood into the sea. The flat, windswept island in “The Hour of the Wolf” (1968) recalls Fårö, in the Baltic Sea, where Bergman, now eighty, spends most of his time. Bergman, who watches “The Phantom Carriage” once a year on Fårö, and who cast Sjöström memorably as the aging professor in “Wild Strawberries” (1957), also revisits his family in his work, but his method is the opposite of Lagerlöf’s idealization.
