Fleeting Angel

One summer, I can still remember
One Fleeting Angel came by
He took notice of my attention
By saying “Hi”
With a simple smile I greeted him
And that’s how it all began
Since then his laughter sounded like a
song to me
His voice seems like a sweet melody
The calmness of his appearance
Made me indeed very happy
And I have wished that moment
Will never end

For I know in my heart
I’ve been in love
To this Fleeting Angel who is my
heartthrob
From spring time to winter
We have shared together
Days filled with laughter
Though few with tears
Each having a promise
That I’ll be here for you
Through the years
Now the flowers have bloomed
And spring is about to end
Summer will be here
Sun so bright, sky so clear
But my heart was filled with grief
Why do your promises have to be
broken?
Why Fleeting Angel? Why do you have
to leave?
“Stay,” I said and so many times
I have begged
Yet he said “My journey has come to an
end”
“I have to go back
To the place where I belong
And I am so glad I have met you
On my way home”
And so he was gone
Like a mist in the morning
Now my eyes can’t stop from crying
Tears are flowing as I watched him flew
Towards the endless skies
Gone is the Fleeting Angel whom I love
so true
Now I need to realize
I’ll be living my life without you
It’s hard but I need to be brave
Thank you oh my Fleeting Angel
For the memories you have gave
Happy ever after I thought it will be
But it was such a life parody
That one summer the Fleeting Angel
came by
And this summer the Fleeting Angel
said good-bye

   


                                                                            

LOVE LETTER

Dear Brian,

We've been friends for so long. There have been lots of tears and so much laughter between us. I feel closer to you than anyone else. I've listened and hurt every time you fell in love, longing to be the one in your arms. I've been there for you when every one of your relationships fell apart. You listened and cried with me when we found out about the cancer and you stood by my side through all of it. Now is the time to tell you that the waiting is over.

 

 

The love you so desperately seek is here in my arms. You've often asked why I'm not interested in any of the men who hit on me when we're all out. I've always told you they weren't the one for me. Now I'm telling you that you are the one for me. You’re the one I dream about. No one can make me laugh like you, even when I'm knee deep in tears. The reason I've been alone for five longs years is this: I've been waiting for you to see the love in my eyes that's only for you. I'll wait forever if that’s how long it takes. I need you. I miss you when you’re gone, and I hurt when you’re sad. I love you, Brian, for everything you are.

Love Always,

Can You Tell Me What Is Love?

They said when you have someone always in your mind and you share many common thoughts and interests, you belong to one another. Then you should come together. My answer is "Slow down." You may not feel for one another and be willing to commit yourselves.

They said when you have fallen for someone deeply and you share many common concerns and cares, you are made for one another. Then you should be in the same love boat, ready for lifetime adventure. My answer is "Slow down." Try to be more rational than emotional, your feelings for one another may be short-lived and you may regret your decision later.

They said when you have found someone whom you care and who can also take good care of you, you are destined to get married. My answer is "Slow down". Love is not acting in a movie; it is a real life adventure with many feelings and thoughts.

Love is not just thoughts. It needs real and everlasting concerns and cares for one another in every aspect of our lives. And it is also the outpouring of our thoughts and feelings.

Love is not just feelings. It needs sincere thoughts and wishes for one another. And it requires real actions to bring out that feelings.

And love is not just actions. It is actions that are the results of careful thoughts and feelings for one another.

Adam yearned for a helper and he found his perfect mate in Eve. Adam called Eve "bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh."

Love is a total sacrifice for one another. It requires complete surrender.

Love is a full responsibility for one another. It requires total commitment.

Love is a genuine concern for one another. It requires sincerity and truth.

And love is unconditional.

And love is forever.

And sometimes love is unthinkable, unreasonable, very emotional, and action-packed.

So what is love? Now I am confused.

Time Of Love

The man came home from work late again, tired and irritated, to find his 5 year old son waiting for him at the door. Daddy, may I ask you a question?" "Yeah, sure, what is it?" replied the man. "Daddy, how much money do you make an hour?" "That's none of your business! What makes you ask such a thing?" the man said angrily. "I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?" pleaded the little boy. "If you must know, I make $20.00 an hour." "Oh," the little boy replied, head bowed. Looking up, he said, "Daddy, may I borrow $10.00 please?"The father was furious. "If the only reason you wanted to know how much money I make is just so you can borrow some to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you're being so selfish. I work long, hard hours everyday and don't have time for such childish games." The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even madder about the little boy's questioning. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money. After an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think he may have been a little hard on his son. Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10.00, and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the Door of the little boy's room and opened the door. "Are you asleep son?" he asked. "No daddy, I'm awake," replied the boy. "I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier," said the man. "It's been a long day and I took my aggravation out on you. Here's that $10.00 you asked for." The little boy sat straight up, beaming. "Oh, thank you daddy!" he yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow, he pulled out some more crumpled up bills. The man, since the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at the man. "Why did you want more money if you already had some?" the father grumbled. "Because I didn't have enough, but now I do," the little boy replied. "Daddy, I have $20.00 now. Can I buy an hour of your time?"

I Love You Honey

They have been married for two years. He loves literature, and often posts his work on the net, but nobody ever reads them. He is also into photography, and he handle their wedding photos. He loves her very much. Likewise with her. She has a quick temper, and always bullies him. He is a gentleman, and always gives in to her. Today, she's being "willful" again. Her: "Why can't you be the photographer for my friend's wedding? She promised she'd pay." Him: "I don't have time that day." Her: "Humph!" Him: "Huh?" Her: "Don't have time? Write less of those novels, and you will have all the time you need." Him: "I... someone will definitely recognize my work some day." Her: "Humph! I don't care; you'll have to do it for her. Him: "No." Her: "Just this once?" Him: "No." Negotiation's broken. So, she gave the final warning: "Give me a Yes within three days, or else..." First day. She "withheld" the kitchen, bathroom, computer, refrigerator, television, and hi-fi... Except the double bed, to show her "benevolence". Of course, she has to sleep on it too. He didn't mind, as he still has some cash in his pockets. Second day. She conducted a raid and removed everything from his pockets, and warned, "Seek any external help, and you bear the consequences." He's nervous now. Night. On the bed. He begs for mercy, hoping that she'll end this state. She doesn't give a damn. No way am I giving in, whatever he says. Until he agrees. Third day. Night. On the Bed. He's lying on the bed, looking to one side. She's lying on the bed, looking to the other side. Him: "We need to talk." Her: "Unless it's about the wedding, forget it." Him: "It's something very important." She remains silent. Him: "Let's get a divorce." She did not believe her ears. Him: "I got to know a girl." She's totally angry, and wanted to hit him. But she held it down, wanting to let him finish. But her eyes already felt wet. He took a photo out from his chest. Probably from his undershirt pocket, that's the only place she didn't go through yesterday. How careless. Him: "She's a nice girl." Her tears fell. Him: "She has a good personality too." She's heartbroken, because he puts a photo of some other girl "close to his heart". Him: "She says that she'll support me fully in my pursue for literature after we got married." She's very jealous, because she said the same thing in the past. Him: "She loves me truly." She wishes to sit up and scream at him: "Don't I?" Him: "So, I think she won't force me to do something that I don't want to do." She's thinking, but the rage won't subside. Him: "Want to take a look at the photo I took for her?" Her: ".....!" He brings the photo before her eyes. She's in a total rage, hits his hand away and leaves a burning mark of a slap on his face. He sighs. She cries. He puts the photo back to his pocket. She pulls her hand back under the blanket. He turns off the light, and sleeps. She turns on the light, and sits up. He's asleep. She lost sleep. She regrets treating him the way she treated him. She cried again, and thought about a lot of things. She wants to wake him up. She wants to have an intimate talk with him. She doesn't want to push him anymore. She stares at his chest. She wants to see how the girl looks. She slips the photo out. She wanted to cry, and she wanted to laugh. It's a nicely taken photo of her. A photo he took for her. She bends down, and kissed him on his cheek. He smiled. He was just pretending to be asleep..

But Love...

A house is a house is a house - until love comes through the door, that is. And love intuitively goes around sprinkling that special brand of angel dust that transforms a house into a very special home for very special people: your family.      

Money, of course, can build a charming house, but only love can furnish it with a feeling of home.      

Duty can pack an adequate sack lunch, but love may decide to tuck a little love note inside.

Money can provide a television set, but love controls it and cares enough to say no and take the guff that comes with it.

Obligation sends the children to bed on time, but love tucks the covers in around their necks and passes out kisses and hugs (even to teenagers!). 

                                

Obligation can cook a meal, but love embellishes the table with a potted ivy trailing around slender candles.

Duty writes many letters, but love tucks a joke or a picture or a fresh stick of gum inside.

Compulsion keeps a sparkling house. But love and prayer stand a better chance of producing a happy family.

Duty gets offended quickly if it isn't appreciated. But love learns to laugh a lot and to work for the sheer joy of doing it.

Obligation can pour a glass of milk, but quite often love will add a little chocolate.

LOVE FOR REAL

                          LOVE FOR REAL John Blanchard stood up from the bench, straightened his Army uniform, and studied the crowd of people making their way through Grand Central Station. He looked for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose face he didn't, the girl with the rose.
                                                               
Blanchard's interest in her had begun thirteen months before in a Vermont library. Taking a book off the shelf he found himself intrigued, not with the words of the book, but with the notes penciled in the margin. The soft handwriting reflected a thoughtful soul and insightful mind. In the front of the book, he discovered the previous owner's name, Miss Hollis Maynell. With time and effort he located her address. She lived in New York City. He wrote her a letter introducing himself and inviting her to correspond.

The next day  he was shipped overseas for service in World War II. During the next year and one month the two grew to know each other through the mail. Each letter was a seed falling on a fertile heart. A romance was budding.  Blanchard  requested a photograph, but she refused. She felt that if he really cared, it wouldn't matter what she looked like. When the day finally came for him to return from Europe, they scheduled their first meeting - 7:00 PM at the Grand Central Station in New York. "You'll recognize me," she wrote, "by the red rose I'll be wearing on my lapel." So at 7:00 he was in the station looking for a girl whose heart he loved, but whose face he'd never seen. I'll let Mr. Blanchard tell you what happened:
A young woman was coming toward me, her figure long and slim. Her blonde hair lay back in curls from her delicate ears; her eyes were blue as flowers. Her lips and chin had a gentle firmness, and in her pale green suit she was like springtime come alive. I started toward her, entirely forgetting to notice that she was not wearing a rose. As I moved, a small, provocative smile curved her lips. "Going my way, sailor?" she murmured.
Almost uncontrollably I made one step closer to her, and then I saw Hollis Maynell. She was standing almost directly behind the girl. A woman well past 40, she had graying hair tucked under a worn hat. She was more than plump, her thick-ankled feet thrust into low-heeled shoes. The girl in the green suit was walking quickly away. I felt as though I was split in two, so keen was my desire to follow her, and yet so deep was my longing for the woman whose spirit had truly companioned me and upheld my own. And there she stood. Her pale, plump face was gentle and sensible, her gray eyes had a warm and kindly twinkle. I did not hesitate. My fingers gripped the small worn blue leather copy of the book that was to identify me to her. This would not be love, but it would be something precious, something perhaps even better than love, a friendship for which I had been and must ever be grateful.
I squared my shoulders and saluted and held out the book to the woman, even though while I spoke I felt choked by the bitterness of my disappointment. "I'm Lieutenant John Blanchard, and you must be Miss Maynell. I am so glad you could meet me; may I take you to dinner?" The woman's face broadened into a tolerant smile. "I don't know what this is about, son," she answered, "but the young lady in the green suit who just went by, she begged me to wear this rose on my coat. And she said if you were to ask me out to dinner, I should go and tell you that she is waiting for you in the big restaurant across the street. She said it was some kind of test!"
It's not difficult to understand and admire Miss Maynell's wisdom. The true nature of a heart is seen in its response to the unattractive.

Do You Feel There is No Hope

In your times of deep despair, Do you feel there is no hope? As the darkness closes in on you, Do you feel you cannot cope? As you struggle on through every trial, Do you say "When will it end"? As you cry yourself to sleep at night, Do you wish you had a friend? When your body's racked with aches and pains, Do you feel you are alone? When you think about the future, Do you fear the great unknown? There is someone who really cares, And He hears your every cry. His arms are reaching out to you, And on Him you can rely. When things close in around you, He sees your fear and doubt - He wants to hold you in His arms, And He will never cast you out. As you stumble through the darkness, He will be your guiding light. He wants to wipe away your tears, For you are precious in His sight. Reach out right now to Jesus, And let Him take complete control - He'll take that heavy burden, And He'll touch and make you whole. He's reaching out His arms to you, And He wants to be your friend. Let Him take you in His loving arms, For His love will never end.

NASA Video Shows Global Reach of Pollution from Fires

The concentration and global transport of carbon monoxide pollution from fires burning in Russia, Siberia and Canada is depicted in two NASA animations created with data from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) instrument on NASA's Aqua spacecraft.

A series of large wildfires burning across western and central Russia, eastern Siberia and western Canada has created a noxious soup of air pollution that is affecting life far beyond national borders. Among the pollutants created by wildfires is carbon monoxide, a gas that can pose a variety of health risks at ground level. Carbon monoxide is also an ingredient in the production of ground-level ozone, which causes numerous respiratory problems. As the carbon monoxide from these wildfires is lofted into the atmosphere, it becomes caught in the lower bounds of the mid-latitude jet stream, which swiftly transports it around the globe.

Two movies were created using continuously updated data from the "Eyes on the Earth 3-D" feature on NASA's global climate change website http://climate.nasa.gov/ . They show three-day running averages of daily measurements of carbon monoxide present at an altitude of 5.5 kilometers (18,000) feet, along with its global transport. The data are from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) instrument on NASA's Aqua spacecraft. AIRS is most sensitive to carbon monoxide at this altitude, which is a region conducive to long-range transport of the smoke. The abundance of carbon monoxide is shown in parts per billion, with the highest concentrations shown in yellows and reds.

The first movie, centered over Moscow, highlights the series of wildfires that continue to burn across Russia. It covers the period between July 18 and Aug. 10, 2010.

The second movie is centered over the North Pole and covers the period from July 16 to Aug. 10, 2010. From this vantage point, the long-range transport of pollutants is more easily visible.

AIRS is managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., under contract to NASA. JPL is a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.

Cosmic Lens Used to Probe Dark Energy for First Time

 PASADENA, Calif. -- Astronomers have devised a new method for measuring perhaps the greatest puzzle of our universe -- dark energy. This mysterious force, discovered in 1998, is pushing our universe apart at ever-increasing speeds.
For the first time, astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope were able to take advantage of a giant magnifying lens in space -- a massive cluster of galaxies -- to narrow in on the nature of dark energy. Their calculations, when combined with data from other methods, significantly increase the accuracy of dark energy measurements. This may eventually lead to an explanation of what the elusive phenomenon really is.
"We have to tackle the dark energy problem from all sides," said Eric Jullo, an astronomer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. "It's important to have several methods, and now we've got a new, very powerful one." Jullo is lead author of a paper on the findings appearing in the Aug. 20 issue of the journal Science.
Scientists aren't clear about what dark energy is, but they do know that it makes up a large chunk of our universe -- about 72 percent. Another chunk, about 24 percent, is thought to be dark matter, also mysterious in nature but easier to study than dark energy because of its gravitational influence on matter that we can see. The rest of the universe, a mere four percent, is the stuff that makes up people, planets, stars and everything made up of atoms.
In their new study, the science team used images from Hubble to examine a massive cluster of galaxies, named Abell 1689, which acts as a magnifying, or gravitational, lens. The gravity of the cluster causes galaxies behind it to be imaged multiple times into distorted shapes, sort of like a fun house mirror reflection that warps your face.
Using these distorted images, the scientists were able to figure out how light from the more distant, background galaxies had been bent by the cluster -- a characteristic that depends on the nature of dark energy. Their method also depends on precise ground-based measurements of the distance and speed at which the background galaxies are traveling away from us. The team used these data to quantify the strength of the dark energy that is causing our universe to accelerate.
"What I like about our new method is that it's very visual," said Jullo. "You can literally see gravitation and dark energy bend the images of the background galaxies into arcs."
According to the scientists, their method required multiple, meticulous steps. They spent the last several years developing specialized mathematical models and precise maps of the matter -- both dark and "normal" -- constituting the Abell 1689 cluster.
"We can now apply our technique to other gravitational lenses," said co-author Priya Natarajan, a cosmologist at Yale University, New Haven, Conn. "We're exploiting a beautiful phenomenon in nature to learn more about the role that dark energy plays in our universe."
Other authors of the paper include Jean-Paul Kneib and Carlo Schimd of the Université de Provence, France; Anson D'Aloisio of Yale University; Marceau Limousin of Université de Provence and University of Copenhagen, Denmark; and Johan Richard of Durham University, United Kingdom.
The Hubble Space Telescope is a project of international cooperation between NASA and the European Space Agency. NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., manages the telescope. The Space Telescope Science Institute, operated for NASA by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. in Washington, conducts Hubble science operations.

Solar activity slowly restarting after long lull: scientists

Solar activity slowly restarting after long lull: scientists

Sci­en­tists have an­nounced they have “sub-visual” ev­i­dence that a new cy­cle of so­lar wind ac­ti­vity around Earth is start­ing.

Re­cent ap­pear­ances of bright sky dis­plays known as au­ro­rae, near the North Pole, were ac­com­pa­nied by much dim­mer glows well south of that, say re­search­ers at Bos­ton Uni­vers­ity’s Cen­ter for Space Phys­ics.

All-sky view of the up­per at­mos­phere as pho­tographed in the red light of ox­y­gen from the Mt. John Ob­serv­a­to­ry in New Zea­land. This fish-eye lens im­age dis­plays emis­sions from a height of 400 km above the Earth’s sur­face (fea­tures in up­per left are build­ings ob­struct­ing view to north­west). Just be­low the low­er coast of South Is­land, the faint emis­sion ex­tend­ing west-to-east is called a Sta­ble Au­ro­ral Red (SAR) arc, a man­i­fes­ta­tion of ox­y­gen atoms heat­ed by hot elec­trons in the ion­o­sphere. The bright­ness lev­els (a­bout 300 Ray­leigh units) are ten to twen­ty times faint­er than can be seen by the na­ked eye. Fur­ther to the south, the ar­ea col­ored white is a brighter form of red emis­sion called Dif­fuse Au­ro­ra, pro­duced by in in­flux of elec­trons from the mag­ne­to­sphere; it is still in­vis­i­ble to the un­aid­ed eye, but on­ly by fac­tors of two to three. Strong vis­i­ble au­ro­ra, the fa­mil­iar "cur­tains of red and green emis­sion" would be still fur­ther to­ward the South Pole, be­yond the field of view shown. This Bos­ton Uni­ver­si­ty im­age of sub-visual au­ro­ra at mid-latitudes is the first un­am­big­u­ous case of a SAR arc in the South­ern Hem­i­sphere dur­ing the new cy­cle of so­lar ac­tiv­i­ty. (Cred­it: Bos­ton U. Cen­ter for Space Phys­ics)

“It’s ex­cit­ing to see the re­turn of au­ro­ra to mid-latitudes,” the cen­ter’s Steve Smith said, re­fer­ring to the cy­clic oc­cur­rence of emis­sions in the Earth’s at­mos­phere that have in­trigued peo­ple since an­cient times.

What has fas­ci­nat­ed space sci­en­tists in re­cent years is the de­layed on­set of such ef­fects. Typ­ic­ally, the Sun has an ac­ti­vity cy­cle of about 11 years, with flares and ejec­tions of elec­tric­ally charged par­t­i­cles called the so­lar wind. These cause changes in the Earth’s mag­net­ic field that pro­duce, as a side prod­uct, lu­mi­nous emis­sions in the at­mos­phere.

Such ef­fects are sub­dued dur­ing so-called so­lar min­i­mum years, such as in 1996-1997, and very prom­i­nent in so­lar max­i­mum years, as in 2001-2002. Ac­cord­ing to this cy­cle, a new wave of such ac­ti­vity had been ex­pected to start by last year, but the Sun re­mained qui­et.

Now there are fi­nally signs of the cy­cle re-appearing, the Bos­ton group says.

They used an all-sky cam­era at the Mt. John Ob­serv­a­to­ry in Lake Te­ka­po, New Zea­land, “essen­tially a fish-eye lens that is used to view the full sky,” said Jef­frey Baum­gard­ner, al­so a re­search­er at the cen­ter, who de­signed and built the in­stru­ment. “The emis­sions we study come from re­gions rang­ing from 200-400 km [125-250 miles] above the sur­face. These gas­es are caused to glow by en­er­gy in­put from above, en­er­gy that flows down­ward along the Earth’s mag­net­ic field lines.”

The cur­tains of glow­ing gasses vis­i­ble to the un­aided eye are long been called au­ro­ra bo­realis when near north­ern po­lar re­gions, and au­ro­ra aus­tralis in south­ern po­lar re­gions. The newly de­tected emis­sions in­stead are be­low na­ked eye de­tec­tion lim­its, and were de­tected in the skies just south of New Zea­land.

The­re, a faint arc ex­tend­ing from East to West was de­tected in the red glow of ox­y­gen atoms. This emis­sion is due to col­li­sions be­tween hot elec­trons, or charged par­t­i­cles, and ox­y­gen atoms in a part of the at­mos­phere known as the ion­o­sphere, the re­search­ers said. Such fea­tures, called Sta­ble Au­ro­ral Red or SAR arcs, are an ac­tive top­ic of re­search.

This “is per­haps the first-ever case of im­ag­ing an un­am­big­u­ous SAR arc in the south­ern hemi­sphere,” said Bos­ton Uni­vers­ity as­tron­o­mer Mi­chael Men­dil­lo.

Still fur­ther south of that arc the re­search­ers de­tected a far more dif­fuse, steady at­mos­pher­ic emis­sion, al­so how­ev­er caused by an in­flux of elec­trons hit­ting ox­y­gen atoms. This emis­sion is thought to have a slightly dif­fer­ent un­der­ly­ing cause from that of SAR arcs, which oc­cur when elec­trons trapped in so-called Van Al­len Radia­t­ion Belts in plan­et’s mag­net­ic field de­pos­it heat in­to the ion­o­sphere. This en­er­gy in­put is con­fined to a thin band about 60 miles (100 km) wide from north to south, though it can ex­tend all the way around the globe east to west.

“We fully ex­pect that a si­m­i­lar SAR arc oc­curred in the north­ern hem­i­sphere, but it was cloudy at our ob­serv­a­to­ry in Bos­ton that night, and so one was not seen,” Smith ex­plained. “We hope in the years ahead to have many cases of SAR arcs in our da­ta from both hem­i­spheres, and then ex­am­ine the full glob­al dis­tri­bu­tion of such ef­fects,” he added. “Look­ing to see if the en­er­gy in­put is sim­ul­ta­ne­ous­ly the same or dif­fer­ent in each hem­i­sphere is a fore­front top­ic in the study of so­lar-induced storms in our up­per at­mos­phere

Durham University students offered Harry Potter course

The Harry Potter films have made hundreds of millions of pounds

Students are being given the chance to sign up to what is thought to be the UK's first course focusing on the world of Harry Potter.

The Durham University module uses the works of JK Rowling to examine prejudice, citizenship and bullying in modern society.
So far about 80 undergraduates have signed up for the optional module, part of a BA degree in Education Studies.
Harry Potter and the Age of Illusion will be available for study next year.
A university spokesman said: "This module places the Harry Potter novels in their wider social and cultural context.
Moral universe "A number of themes will be explored, including the world of rituals, prejudice and intolerance in the classroom, bullying, friendship and solidarity and the ideals of and good citizenship."
The module was created by Dr Martin Richardson, head of the Department of Education at Durham University.
He said the idea for the new module had been conceived in response to growing demand from the student body.
He said: "It seeks to place the series in its wider social and cultural context and will explore some fundamental issues such as the moral universe of the school.
"You just need to read the academic writing which started to emerge four or five years ago to see that Harry Potter is worthy of serious study."
