Spock has always had an internal struggle between his human side and his Vulcan side. Growing up, Spock has had difficulty preventing others from affecting his emotions and accepting his role in life. While the old Spock is mostly stoic, he still has trouble not blaming himself and accepting loss. Epictetus’s twelfth rule claims
UPLOADING YOUR BRAIN… "I'm sorry, Jim, but I just don't think it's right for a man's atoms to be scattered all over creation and then brought back together again. It's just not right." (Character, Dr. Leonard McCoy, original Star Trek series) I wonder what Bones would have to say about swallowing, or being injected with billions of microscopic robots, or nanobots, to enter into a three dimensional cyberspace - a virtual reality environment or to enable him to live forever?

Admiral Jarok as a Traitor Although a somewhat tacky and predictable program, Star Trek: The Next Generation, succeeds where other television shows don't.

The F-22 is the newest Fighter in the Air Forces arsenal. The F-22 has trounced the best opponent that the USAF could muster.

The F-22 has been projected to be in services for more than 25 years as

Through mythological narrative, Cosimo has depicted a scene that emphasizes the gradual depiction of Renaissance ideals through the use of early art methods. The
The Thermus Aquaticus project’s purpose is to identify a species of thermophilic bacteria found in a local hot spring, Vulcan Hot Springs, through genetic sequencing and analysis. The polymerase gene in other Thermus bacterias has proven useful in genetic reactions. The Vulcan bacteria grows at a higher temperature than other thermophilic bacterias, giving it the potential to have a more effective polymerase gene than what is currently available. My own research has been focused on designing effective

Ekphrasis in Aeneas’ Shield The opening of Vergil’s The Aeneid begins with the phrase “I sing of warfare and a man at war,” (Vergil 3). Vergil starts off his epic by signaling two important themes: the struggles of one man and warfare. The translation of “warfare” can also be interpreted as arms (Boyle).

original series of Star Trek, Spock, considered the most popular Vulcan from the series, never fails to maintain a logical outlook on things, even when everything is blaring a red din. Translated to the case of my parent and myself, we also never fail to maintain a logical outlook on things when a red din is emanating from our exact opposite, my sister, the side of my family that I don’t consider part of my roots.
