“A Sailing Vessel on Chesapeake Bay” by Fredrick Douglass
In the poem “A Sailing Vessel on Chesapeake Bay” the author expresses how much he despises being a slave, how he wishes that he were anything but himself, and how he plans to try to free himself from captivity. The author uses many elements to convey how he feels including imagery which he uses in conjunction with parallelism in order to compare and contrast his current situation with that of an inanimate object’s. The poet’s diction and rhetoric are key because they are the conduits through which the reader connects to the poem and the transfer of emotions occur allowing the reader the feel the poet’s frustration and anguish because of his current situation. (metaphor)
The use of parallelism plays a major role in the construction of the poem. The poet parallels “You are loosed from your moorings, and free. I am fast in my chains, and am a slave!” and “You move merrily before the gentle gale,
and I sadly before the bloody whip.” He first introduces with significant detail the an aspect of the ship, such as how it is able to go anywhere at its every whim, and then how he is in bondage and imprisoned on a plantation held captive, unable to control anything. Specifically, Parallelism as used here allows the reader to see the contrast between the poet and someone with their freedom, one who possesses him or herself, and endows them with the ability to experience the injustice and oppression that average slave must endure.

The use of imagery is just as important as parallelism in this poem because it creates the pictures that are painted in the reader’s mind. This vital component is prevalent throughout the poem. “You are freedom's swift winged angels, that fly around the world; I am confined in bonds of iron.” This is a perfect example of how the poet uses the imagery to paint a picture. The “swift winged angel” described in the poem renders the depiction of an elusive heaven like creature that is pure and essentially free, its freedom being a gift from God. The “bonds of iron” are the chains that are used to tie him up and create his prison. The use of imagery emphasizes the parallelism by combining two completely different scenes and using the details within those two portrayed scenes in order to increase the impact of the paralleled lines.
The imagery which emphasizes the parallelism throughout the poem is key. The rhetoric and diction are the vehicles through which every idea flows. The poet uses strong language coupled with stylish descriptions of each scene. As seen in “bonds of iron” and “swift winged angel” the author uses a bold description to stress the depth of his imprisonment and then an elegant depiction of an angel in order to emphasize the beauty and freedom it possesses.
The entire piece is strung to together flawlessly the imagery, parallelism, diction, and rhetoric. Each of the aforementioned aspects of the poem flow together

in unison creating a seamless connection of the reader and the main idea of the poem. The parallelism is emphasized by the imagery and is prevalent throughout the piece. The diction and rhetoric tie the imagery and parallelism together allowing the reader to connect to the main idea of the poem, and is the conduit through which the poet conveys the pain, angst, and torment that he as a slave must endure.

lol yea, it all worked out fine, big upps to xda, dont know what i would do without it.
I know i want to study something in the computer field, but I am not sure what specifically. I am thinking about Computer Information Systems, or maybe Cisco Networking. What do you guys think?
I'm starting a Graduate Diploma in computer science next fall, but my plan B is computer applications. It's up to what you like better, really.

Yeah I'm also thinking about computer science, I think it pays more too.
Well I don't know how it is around your place, but here, computer science is the general degree, then you choose a specific path. Here we have Computer Systems, Computer Applications, Games, Computers and maths, and if I'm not mistaken Computer Science and Administration. They're all part of the same Computer Science bachelor however, and you end up with the same degree at the end, but you'll have a more focussed training in an area. Doesn't keep you from getting a job in any other field though.
I was talking about a graduate diploma because in a month, I'll have a bachelor, so instead of going back for 3 more years of university, I could take some kind of shortcut and take a graduate diploma, which is a year of studies and will allow me to go for a master in computer science next year.
Do you think CIS has a good outlook?

I'm good in computers field too and i'm considering computer Systems Engineer, you can get job easily on any company and they pays good
My advice: Information Security, Network Engineer (e.g. Cisco, Juniper, etc.), or DBA. Those are the top paying roles on the IT side that don't require going through the trenches of end-user support.

Finding and getting into the college of your choice is tough enough, but the process can get even more demanding if you also figure in the next question: What do I study?
If you do your research, you might at least be able to narrow the selections.
One place to start is the Princeton Review’s “Top 10 Most Popular Majors” list, which asked colleges across the country to list the majors they offer, and report which three had the highest undergrad enrollment. Based on that cumulative response, here are the 10 most popular majors:
1. Business Administration and Management
2. Psychology
3. Elementary Education
4. Biology
5. Nursing
6. Education
7. English
8. Communications
9. Computer Science
10. Political Science
The Job Hunt: How to Start a Successful Career
It’s no surprise that business appears to be America’s No. 1 college major. Alice Reinarz, assistant provost for enrollment at Texas A&M University, believes students have a fascination with “corporate America.”
Majors such as accounting and finance, she said, “provide a more technical curriculum that is directly transferable to the workplace.”
Students taking the business route often have an easier time transitioning into the job market, yielding a double graduation bonus: a paycheck, plus no graduate school bills.
The amount of your paycheck can also get a boost by majoring in business. The National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) Summer 2006 Salary Survey reports that the current average starting salary for graduates with an accounting degree is $45,518 — quite a feast for a starving college student. The NACE survey also produced a Top 10 Jobs and average starting salaries for the class of 2006:
1. Field Engineering -- $51,162
2. Consulting -- $50,657
3. Project Engineering -- $49,888
4. Design/Construction Engineer -- $48,025
5. Financial/Treasury Analysis -- $46,448
6. Accounting (Public) -- $45,518
7. Accounting (Private) -- $44,240
8. Management Trainee (Entry) -- $39,501
9. Sales -- $38,343
10. Teaching -- $31,408
Business degrees should continue to increase in value, at least for the next four years, according to a forecast survey conducted by FastCompany.com, which compiled its findings in a Top 25 Jobs for 2005-09. The survey found that engineering and health/medical degrees also are good choices for today’s undergraduates.
The path to the corner office, however, isn’t on everyone’s postgraduate agenda.
“I chose my major because I enjoy working with children,” said Andrea Stern, a Brooklyn College junior majoring in elementary education. “I feel that it is very important to help children start off their education on the right foot because education is the key to success.”
While entering the teaching world often requires specific coursework or certification, some non-education graduates enter the classroom immediately after college through the “Teach for America” program, a highly selective program that places graduates willing to commit to a certain number of years teaching in an urban or rural public school. College graduates from all academic majors with minimum cumulative undergraduate GPAs of 2.50 (out of 4.0) and higher are eligible to apply.
Many undergraduates also choose to major in the sciences, often with ambitions of becoming a doctor, which requires many years of post-graduate education. There are, however, many growing opportunities in the health care industry for medical assistants, physician assistants, nurses, chiropractors and other various occupations, none of which requiring a graduate or doctorate degree.
On the high-tech side of the health industry, biology majors are looking into jobs in genetics and biochemistry, which Michael Cahill, director of the Center for Career Services at Syracuse University, identifies as among the most rapidly expanding industries. Cahill also believes graduates will find growing opportunities in social services, software engineering and network systems.
Whatever major a student chooses, Mike Mazzone, a 2005 graduate of Ithaca College, put the choice into perspective: “The most popular goal among students in college is to be able to walk out with a job.”

Pick something more useful/general. Computer Science or Computer Engineering. Those two you've suggested are just "button clicker" training.

Some essential premises - frequently formed by pioneers and bolstered by the drove - practice the aggregate inner voice of the driven in so far as they invigorate a willed improvement. The advancement is normally unrivaled however not really acculturated. The premises being referred to are of this shape: "Our level of mechanical progression is second to none. After achieving this level, we likewise need to set up our general public for peace, and to ensure the peace, technology must be amended to cultivate the approach of war." Technological headway that is pushed toward this path sets an unsafe point of reference for different social orders that dread a risk to their individual powers. They are pushed to likewise encourage a war technology.
In the space of civilization, this method of improvement is not excellent, nor is it morally reasonable. Since it is not morally reasonable, it is socially flighty. An investigation of the premises will uncover that it is the last one that represents an issue. The last start is the finish of two going before premises however is not at all consistently found. What it shows is an energetically concluded conclusion, and being along these lines, it neglects to be figured as a determination from a soundly arranged personality, at any rate at the time at which it was derived.
A general public that advances as per the above presuppositions - and particularly as per the irrational conclusion - has transmitted the mind of non-debatable prevalence over its kin. Up and down, the energy of enthusiasm manages the pace of human direct. Regardless of whether in helpful engagements or willed organizations, the guideline of balance neglects to work absolutely due to the prevalence disorder that grasps the pioneer and the drove. What's more, an alternate society that declines to partake in the aggregate sensibilities or energy of such society has, by the normal rationale, turn into a potential or real adversary and confronts encounter on every single conceivable front.
The greater part of what we find out about the present world, obviously, through the media, is overwhelmed by best in class technology. Social orders that have the greater part of such technology are likewise, on numerous occasions, guaranteed to be the most exceptional. It is not just their headway that lifts them to the zenith of energy, predominance, and popularity. They can likewise utilize technology to streamline and push ahead a comprehension of life and nature in an alternate bearing, a heading that has a tendency to wipe out, however much as could reasonably be expected, an earlier association amongst life and nature that was, in many regards, magical and perilous. This last point does not really imply that mechanical progression is a characteristic of a predominant civilization.
What we have to know is that civilization and technology are not matrimonial terms. Socialized individuals may have a propelled technology or they might not have it. Civilization is not simply an issue of science and technology or specialized foundation, or, once more, the wonder of structures; it likewise needs to do with the good and mental reflexes of individuals and their level of social connectedness inside their own particular society and past. It is from the general conduct cosmetics of individuals that all types of physical structures could be made, so too the subject of science and technology. In this way, the sort of extensions, streets, structures, overwhelming hardware, among others, that we can find in a general public could tell, for the most part, the behavioral example of the general population. Behavioral example could likewise enlighten a great deal regarding the degree to which the common habitat has been used for infrastructural exercises, science and technology. Most importantly, behavioral example could inform a considerable measure concerning the discernments and comprehension of the general population about other individuals.
I do trust - and, I think, the vast majority do accept - that after quickening the rate of infrastructural exercises and technology, the earth needs to retreat in its expectation. Once propelling technology (and its specialist structures or thoughts) contends with the green condition for space, this condition houses trees, grass, blooms, a wide range of creatures and fish needs to shrivel. However the development of populace, the relentless human desiring for quality life, the need to control existence without relying upon the eccentric state of the indigenous habitat incite the utilization of technology. Technology require not posture unjustifiable peril to the regular habitat. It is the abuse of technology that is being referred to. While a general public may legitimately use technology to enhance personal satisfaction, its kin additionally need to ask: "how much technology do we have to protect the indigenous habitat?" Suppose society Y mixes the direct utilization of technology with the regular habitat so as to counterbalance the foolhardy decimation of the last mentioned, then this sort of situating prompts the point that society Y is a darling of the guideline of adjust. From this standard, one can boldly reason that society Y favors soundness more than turmoil, and has, consequently, the feeling of good and social obligation. Any best in class technology focuses to the advancement of the human personality, and it shows that the indigenous habitat has been cavalierly subdued.
In the event that people would prefer not to inhabit the leniency of the regular habitat - which, obviously, is an unverifiable lifestyle - yet as per their own anticipated pace, then the utilization of technology involves course. No doubt the guideline of adjust that society Y has picked must be for a brief timeframe or this is to a greater degree a pretend position than a genuine one. For when the energy of the human personality satisfies itself taking after a momentous accomplishment in technology, withdraw, or, best case scenario, a back off is very unordinary. It is as though the human personality is letting itself know: "innovative progression needs to quicken with no obstruction. A withdraw or a progressive procedure is an affront to the inquisitive personality." This sort of manner of thinking just calls attention to the puzzle of the psyche, its dim side, not its finest range. What's more, in trying to investigate the present method of a specific technology as per the guidelines of the brain, the part of morals is indispensable.
Is it morally ideal to utilize this sort of technology for this sort of item? Furthermore, is it morally ideal to utilize this sort of item? Both inquiries imply that the item or items being referred to are either hurtful or not, earth cordial or not, or that they don't just purpose hurt straightforwardly to people however specifically to the earth as well. Furthermore, if, as I have expressed, the reason for technology is to enhance the personal satisfaction, then to utilize technology to deliver items that damage both people and the regular habitat negates the motivation behind technology, and it likewise misrepresents an affirmation that people are levelheaded. Besides, it recommends that the modern level that the human personality has come to can't get a handle on the substance or method of reasoning of value life. In such manner, a serene conjunction with the regular habitat would have been forsaken for an over the top, asking human personality. The human personality would, in a manner of speaking, wind up plainly adulterated with convictions or thoughts that are untenable in any number of ways.

Some time ago i released "Advice Guide - The paths i found to improve mental health / destress / cognitivity / consciousness / productivity" on reddit where i mentioned some apps that will help you to improve i named them 'phone tools' , hope you enjoy.
Code:
It all starts with one thought: How to improve? The things i found on my way asking this question are published in this post. I always tried to follow current research and not all of this could be your way of the path. I will update as soon i got new insights and im open for science backed answers that can extend the list. Feel free to contribute and enjoy life.
Point 1 is freshly discovered, maybe it gets extended soon
side note: most mentioned methods also improve autophagy , cleaning your cells from trash
1. Nutrition:
Do's=
- Eat some Olive oil or/and Nuts , prevents high insulin
- use the intermidity diet. 16 hours not eating / 8 hours eating- will keep your brain running and insuline low!
- eat egg yolks and curcumin (turmeric) , they increase neuroplasticity
- omega-3 fats (fish) intake, as well as l-theanine (tea)
- vape nicotin inside an e-cigarette , isolated nicotine helps boosting memory and learning whilst having harmful ingredients in normal cigarettes
Don'ts=
- Dont use preperates to cover brain or health needs! some of them are unhealthy cause they provide to much of a normaly healthy ingredient making you sick at the end
- Dont eat high carbs! Things in your brain cant work nicely when the body produces to much insulin caused from carbs
- dont drink cow milk, it blocks folate receptors and decreases methylation, which are improving your neuronal build (neurogenesis) , Goat’s and sheep’s milk products are usually fine—unless you have an autoimmune disease.
2. Daily Routines
- breath trough your nose : The benefits of nasal breathing are associated with how this breathing purifies, heats, moistens, and pressurizes the air. These changes to the air increase oxygen absorption by approximately 10-15%.
- You all may know it : Meditation. A daily session of meditation , even in doses of 5-10 minutes per day can improve mood, destress, helps fokus
-- Phone tools=
- Mesmerize - with visual , audio and breath stimulation
- Brain.fm - i prefer those sounds as they are binaural, bringing your head in a synchronized state with the selected mindset
- Cold Showers : It releases anti-depressants and is an stress trainer. so its a good prevention if you seem to have a lot stress. i recommend to start cold and change it to warm later.
- Brain training - also classical advice and a hot science topic as some scientists beliefe you just get better in the tasks , my opinion is if the brain gains neuronal connections , its a very good choice/thing. the average brain starts to slowly reduce unused parts at an age of 25!
-- Phone tools=
- Neuronation
- Brain Wars
- Nonogram King
- Sudoku4two
- Futoshiki
- Hex2048
- Loop: Energy
- I Love Hue too
- Sleep - sleep is used to store information in your long term memory, dont lose it! study shows that uncovered sleep can be restored in the next 2 days
- Exercise physically - a healthy body keeps your mind running. dont try to overuse alcohol (healthy amount: 0,5 l each day on 5 days a week) and keep distance from drugs even if you think they provide you a brighter sight of how things are, they change your neuronal connections
-- 10 minutes a day running will help to release neuronal builders and strengthen your allready existing neurons
- Games - yes even games can help you, especially action games cause they fasten your cognitivity
-- Phone Tools=
- Dragon Fly
- Death Worm
- Fruit Ninja
- Temple Run
- Sonic Jump Fever
- Smash it
- Zombie Smasher
- Race the Sun
- Metal Madness
- Mobile Legends
- Jetpack Joyride
- Real Boxing
- Dead Target
- Dancing Road
- Shellfire
- Kickflight
- Overdrive
- Bomb Bots Arena
- Into the Dead
- Learn : The more you remember the easier you will keep information, but be aware- the brain slowly fades unused information when it gets new input. Ask yourself before learning what it may help you with in the future to stay more motivated
-- Phone Tools=
- Audio Now
- StudySmarter
- Coursera
- StoryShots
- Deepstash
- 12 Min
- Inshorts
- Plan your work : we are most productive in little time frames, this covers also learning. Dont multitask, if you excluded all unnecessary distractions, you can enter the highly effective flow state. motivate yourself when imagining why you do something. Theres no reason to think "i cant" , instead think "i dont". failure is the key to sucess , learn from it
-- there are many proven methods to take care of the little time frames, here are two examples =
- 25 minute , followed by 2 minute break , repeat 3 to 4 times until you choose a larger break of around 15 minutes
- 90 minutes , followed by a 10-15 minute break
this also helps when doing things you dont like or if you are procrastinating - brain sends a pain reaction 20 minutes of time , if you overcome that period you will teach yourself its not that bad
surprisingly the same time span (20 minutes) is needed to decrease your focus, breaks will help you getting new information processed
- Use your subconsciousness : Things become sticky when you repeatly hear or see them. Try to take a look on motivational short notices over the day
-- Phone Tools=
- Unlock your Mind
At the end i will leave you with a phone tool for stress prevention, called "Skills".
I didnt mention the many self advice i got from book summarys and podcasts, to keep it informal mostly. Hope this helped you, have a nice one and dont forget to leave comments
Meh, don't vape... put the e-liquid under your tongue; nicotine* is quickly absorbed through the mucous membranes.
Nicotine also is a MAO inhibitor that protects the Substantia nigra region of the brain.
However there's a much better one... Deprenyl. After age 45, 2-5 mg @ day in the morning. One of the true anti-aging drugs.
If you start using before you develop Parkinson's disease you may never develop it.
Everyone will develop Parkinson's disease if they life long enough. Deprenyl is a selective MOA inhibitor that slows down the breakdown of dopamine thereby reducing the workload/ free radical damage of the dopamine producing neurons in the Substantia nigra region of the brain.
For unknown reasons as people age the MAO levels rise for these neurons causing a premature breakdown of dopamine. The neurons are forced to increase their production of dopamine to offset this. It's theorized this in turn causes increase free radical damage to the dopamine producing neurons and their premature death.
If 80% are destroyed signs of Parkinson's disease will manifest themselves.
It 90% or more are destroyed, you will die.
*Good cigars are much tastier and more relaxing than straight nicotine. The olfactory properties of it's many subtle aromas trigger memories long forgotten. Vaping is a boring one trick pony.
Tobacco also has natural anti-inflammatory properties that protect joints and suppress other types of inflammation that nicotine alone does not.
Tobacco is a true smart drug. More effective than caffeine when you really need to stay alert and awake. It's saved my life more than once on the road.

It's not a true antidepressant. Neurochemistry is much more complicated than that.
Your dopamine levels start falling as you age. Lower dopamine levels mean lower testosterone and hgh levels. The deadly triad... you need all 3 to live and be healthy.
Read up on Deprenyl completely than get back to me.
Using too much has the opposite effect. 2-5 mg @ day max and less is better. A 2 day holiday every 7-10 days. Monitoring BP at first as it is an MAO inhibitor but it's selective. It lowers my BP by 1 or 2 points, odd.
Increases fine motors skills and athletic performance. Do not or be careful to use if you suffer from anxiety.
It's a better anti aging drug than anything you listed although I often substitute cigars for it.
Why do you think the incidence of Parkinson's disease is lower in smokers than non-smokers in the same age brackets?
Those pills Muhammad Ali was popping in the ring at the Rumble in the Jungle fight were Deprenyl. Parkinson's disease and its many variant forms are much more common than you realize... live long enough and you will unfortunately discover it.

Come on, stop that chicken/egg bs.
You use nicotine* already for the exact same purpose...
Using Deprenyl or the weaker nicotine works by reducing the amount of dopamine the neurons need to produce. It thought this provides those neurons with enhanced free radical protection.
In mice it greatly extended their lifespan when given starting at a young age.
Medicine is an art not a science...
