I have written a short story/novel that is in need of a title. It's set around 1870. A seventeen year old white man dreams of being a teacher, and is granted his wish to hold a temporary teaching job in a ***** village. (Remember this is shortly after the Emmancipation Proclamation). At this village, he deals with racism from both sides: a ***** man who does not want him in the village, and a small group of whites who cause trouble for the village and anyone who tries to help or befriend them. I am not good at coming up with story titles, so if anyone has any ideas, I'd like to hear them. Additional story details:
Name of village: Freedom
Name of teacher: Daniel

Beautiful faces, places, paintings..
Who gave the measurenments & rules of beauty?
Why do we say something is beautiful? where did we judge that from? We all have different opinions, but in a human's brain, what made beautiful beautiful? and ugly ugly?
Was beauty given certain rules a very long time ago by someone shallow? Can't everything be beautiful to one's eyes? or are we programmed to measure with scales inside our mind that other people in the past have programmed inside out head? Is Beauty just a theory?

I just moved to Chicago and I work a full-time job in Retail Management (my promotions kind of spun out of control and all of a sudden Im chasing that 50-60 hours a week) but my passion is in acting. In moving to Chicago, I left behind my network of directors and compatriots and have not been able to re-establish that here yet. Im looking for some help in where to get reasonably priced headshots done, and what a good way is to start getting auditions/representation here. I've pursued a lot of my own avenues, but I figured I would throw it to the experts because I really want this and any additional info would be fantastic. So PLEASE help out a 24 year old actor chasing a dream in a new big city!!

I recently completed my first Anthology of Poetry called Emotions and I was wondering if anyone knew the next steps of possibly getting published? Which publishing houses or literary agencies that accept poetry? Also any information I need to know about getting published.

In Reference to Her Children
by Anne Bradstreet
I had eight birds hatcht in one nest,
Four Cocks were there, and Hens the rest.
I nurst them up with pain and care,
No cost nor labour did I spare
Till at the last they felt their wing,
Mounted the Trees and learned to sing.
Chief of the Brood then took his flight
To Regions far and left me quite.
My mournful chirps I after send
Till he return, or I do end.
Leave not thy nest, thy Dame and Sire,
Fly back and sing amidst this Quire.
My second bird did take her flight
And with her mate flew out of sight.
Southward they both their course did bend,
And Seasons twain they there did spend,
Till after blown by Southern gales
They Norward steer'd with filled sails.
A prettier bird was no where seen,
Along the Beach, among the treen.
I have a third of colour white
On whom I plac'd no small delight,
Coupled with mate loving and true,
Hath also bid her Dame adieu.
And where Aurora first appears,
She now hath percht to spend her years.
One to the Academy flew
To chat among that learned crew.
Ambition moves still in his breast
That he might chant above the rest,
Striving for more than to do well,
That nightingales he might excell.
My fifth, whose down is yet scarce gone,
Is 'mongst the shrubs and bushes flown
And as his wings increase in strength
On higher boughs he'll perch at length.
My other three still with me nest
Until they're grown, then as the rest,
Or here or there, they'll take their flight,
As is ordain'd, so shall they light.
If birds could weep, then would my tears
Let others know what are my fears
Lest this my brood some harm should catch
And be surpris'd for want of watch
Whilst pecking corn and void of care
They fall un'wares in Fowler's snare;
Or whilst on trees they sit and sing
Some untoward boy at them do fling,
Or whilst allur'd with bell and glass
The net be spread and caught, alas;
Or lest by Lime-twigs they be foil'd;
Or by some greedy hawks be spoil'd.
O would, my young, ye saw my breast
And knew what thoughts there sadly rest.
Great was my pain when I you bred,
Great was my care when I you fed.
Long did I keep you soft and warm
And with my wings kept off all harm.
My cares are more, and fears, than ever,
My throbs such now as 'fore were never.
Alas, my birds, you wisdom want
Of perils you are ignorant.
Oft times in grass, on trees, in flight,
Sore accidents on you may light.
O to your safety have an eye,
So happy may you live and die.
Mean while, my days in tunes I'll spend
Till my weak lays with me shall end.
In shady woods I'll sit and sing
And things that past, to mind I'll bring.
Once young and pleasant, as are you,
But former toys (no joys) adieu!
My age I will not once lament
But sing, my time so near is spent,
And from the top bough take my flight
Into a country beyond sight
Where old ones instantly grow young
And there with seraphims set song.
No seasons cold, nor storms they see
But spring lasts to eternity.
When each of you shall in your nest
Among your young ones take your rest,
In chirping languages oft them tell
You had a Dame that lov'd you well,
That did what could be done for young
And nurst you up till you were strong
And 'fore she once would let you fly
She shew'd you joy and misery,
Taught what was good, and what was ill,
What would save life, and what would kill.
Thus gone, amongst you I may live,
And dead, yet speak and counsel give.
Farewell, my birds, farewell, adieu,
I happy am, if well with you.

Yesterday I was over my girlfriends house and I wanted to watch the Giants game. Shes somehwat a closest eagles fan and as the game was heating up I said how much do you want to bet the giants win? She said I don't want to bet money, how about we bet that if the Giants lose than I control you for a day and if they win than you can control me. Sounded like an interesting bet to say the least. So I went along with it and shook on it. Giants ended up losing in the final minutes if you don't already know. Now that leads me to the question.

She wants me to dress like a girl for a day. Stating I need to know what it feels like for her everyday and she will decide the rest after that. Catch is she wants me to buy the stuff myself and wants you to pick what I do wear. She said she will pick the answer she likes best. Links would be a big help. Whoever has the most details will end up getting picked.

Please be nice and don't go too crazy for your 10 points. I beg you..

Recently, while watching a WWII documentary on D-Day, I saw again footage of a U. S. soldier at the moment he is struck down while working his way up one of the landing beaches, and I was wondering - since this footage is used as "stock war footage" from EVERY D-Day or even ETO WWII documentary I have ever seen - is the identity of the fallen soldier known? Viewers of war documentaries will know what footage I speak of: we see, I think, three U.S. soldiers (USA presumed) making their way up one of the Normandy beaches. The shot shows the men in the right half of the screen, if you split it down the middle. The soldier closest to mid-screen is caught the moment he is - presumed - struck by a bullet or schrapnel, or some other weapon. He immediately falls. I've seen this footage a thousand times - it would be nice if I could place a name to the man, to honor this fallen U. S. solder, and those other heroes filmed fighting alongside him, as they make it up the beach. Who is he?

Obviously, Hawaii is an AMerican state of British geneaology, so why not designate my country as both regardless of its previous form? Hawaii is an American state of Bridish heritage, so my country is a British country with American heritage. I am concerned about the Bahamas because my personality is identical to that of the Bahamas. Do you ever have a personality akin to another country? I feel that way about the Bahamas, but should that personality be German, Dutch, Chinese, etc.? Such is my problem, but I am asking about the Bahamas being American in case of a change in British laws. I do not wish for the change to destroy the country and the statehood can act as backup. As a matter of fact, Texas was the same way: a republic that became an American state. Thiink about it!

Without using religious arguments, describe the prohibition of same-sex unions as a moral issue. Provide a philosopher (Mill, Kant, Aristotle, Ross, Rawls, Baxter) whose theory provides an insight into this as a moral issue and discuss their answer to the questions of same-sex unions. Are they moral or immoral? Why or why not?
