woes(sadness,suffering) that were long since healed,

And moan the expense of many a vanish>d sight: And regret the loss of many things that I have seen and

loved:

Then can I grieve at grievances foregone, Then can I grieve over past griefs again,

And heavily from woe to woe tell o>er And sadly repeat (to myself) my woes

The sad account of fore-bemoaned moan, The sorrowful account of griefs already grieved for,

Which I new pay as if not paid before. Which (the account) I repay as if I had not paid before.

But if the while I think on thee, dear friend, But if I think of you while I am in this state of sadness, dear friend,

All losses are restored and sorrows end. All my losses are compensated for and my sorrow ends.

And I chose this sonnet for you...

When to the session of sweet silent thought

I summon up remembrance of things past,

I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought,

And with old woes new wail my dear time>s waste:

Then can I drown an eye, unused to ow,

When to the session of sweet silent thought

I summon up remembrance of things past,

I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought,

And with old woes new wail my dear time>s waste:

Then can I drown an eye, unused to ow,

For precious friends hid in deaths dateless night,

And weep afresh love>s long since cancelled woe,

And moan the expense of many a vanishd sight:

Then can I grieve at grievances foregone,

And heavily from woe to woe tell o>er

The sad account of fore-bemoaned moan,

Which I new pay as if not paid before.

But if the while I think on thee, dear friend,

All losses are restored and sorrows end.

Here is the analysis of this sonnet....

When to the sessions of sweet silent thought When in these sessions of gratifying

silent thought

I summon up remembrance of things past, I think of the past,

I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought, I regret my failure to achieve all that I wanted,

And with old woes new wail my dear time>s waste: And I sorrowfully remember that I wasted

the best years of my life:

Then can I drown an eye, unused to ow, Then I can cry, although I am not used to crying,

For precious friends hid in death>s dateless night, For dear friends now hid in death>s

unending night,

And weep afresh love>s long since cancell>d woe, And cry again over

were mainly comedies and histories, genres he

raised to the peak of sophistication and artistry

by the end of the sixteenth century. He then wrote

mainly tragedies until about 1608, including

Hamlet, King Lear, and Macbeth, considered

some of the nest works in the English language.

In his last phase, he wrote tragicomedies, also

known as romances, and collaborated with other

playwrights.

His surviving works, including some collaborations,

consist of 38 plays,154 sonnets, two long narrative

poems, and several other poems. His plays have

been translated into every major living language

and are performed more often than those of any

other playwright.

Shakespeare retired to Stratford some years

before his death; but retirement from all work was

uncommon at that time, Shakespeare died on 23

April 1616. In his will, Shakespeare left the bulk

of his large estate to his elder daughter Susanna

... Shakespeare was buried in the chancel of the

Holy Trinity Church two days after his death. The

epitaph carved into the stone slab covering his

grave includes a curse against moving his bones,

which was carefully avoided during restoration of

the church in 2008.

English poet, dramatist, and actor, William-

Shakespeare is considered by many to be

the

greatest dramatist of all the time. William-

Shakespeare was born in 1564 in

Stratford-Upon-Avon in England.

Most biographers agree that Shakespeare

may

have been educated at the King>s New

School

in Stratford, a free school

chartered in 1553 ..

At age of 18 he got married

the 26 year old

Anne Hathaway in

1582. The next year she

bore a daughter for him,

Susanna, followed by the

twins Judith and Hamnet

two years later.

Between 1585 and 1592,

he began a successful

career in London as

an actor, writer, and

part owner of a playing

company called the Lord

Chamberlain>s Men, later

known as the King>s

Men. Shakespeare entertained the king and

the people for another ten years until June

19, 1613, when a canon red from the roof of

the theatre. The audience ignored the smoke

from the roof at rst, being to absorbed in the

play, until the ames caught the walls and the

fabric of the curtains.

Shakespeare produced most of his known

work between 1589 and 1613. His early plays

and liver damage, where they had morphed

into organ cells, which suggest that they are

on a repair mission. This may be because

some of the microchimeric cells are stem

cells, which can reproduce indenitely and

change into different forms of tissue.

Fact II: Baby>s Little Smiles building a

Relationship with Mom

Its probably not surprising that mothers

excel at recognizing and interpreting

the moods and emotions of their infants.

Although infants cant speak, mothers seem

to know what their babies are thinking:

they smile when their baby smiles and they

frown when their baby is upset. Research

suggests that the mothers ability to

understand the needs of her infant is very

important for establishing a secure mother-

infant relationship. However, the neural

mechanisms that underlie these behaviors

are poorly understood. Such knowledge is

crucial for understanding normal as well as

abusive and neglectful mothering.

In recent years, several studies have been

carried out using functional magnetic

resonance imaging (fMRI) to better

understand how a mothers brain responds

to her own childs cues. The most recent,

led by neuroscientist Lane Strathearn and

colleagues at Baylor College of Medicine,

investigated what happens inside the brain

of a mother when she looks at the facial

expressions of her own infant. In the study,

28 rst-time mothers were shown pictures

of their seven-month old child that they had

never seen before. (The pictures were taken

when the mother was not present.) The

pictures spanned a wide range of human

emotion and included images of the child

making happy, sad or neutral faces. These

pictures were then matched with images of

an unknown infant. This nding suggests that

for mothers the sight of their smiling baby is

a potent reward and represents a uniquely

pleasurable experience. Furthermore, this

neural response was graded, so that happy

faces led to more activation than neutral

faces. Sad faces generated the least

activation. In other words, the response

of mothers in their reward areas seemed

to directly mirror the emotions the infant

displayed.

Fact I: Beyond Birth, A Child>s Cells May Help or

Harm the Mother Long after Delivery

A pregnant woman knows she is shaping her

child>s future from the moment of conception.

But she might not realize that the baby is

already talking back. Mother and child are

engaged in a silent chemical conversation

throughout pregnancy, with bits of genetic

material and cells passing not only from

mother to child but also from child to mother.

Scientists increasingly think these silent signals

from the fetus may inuence a mother>s risk of

cancer, rheumatoid arthritis and other diseases,

even decades after she has given birth.

It was a surprise when researchers at Stanford

University, found a few cells with Y sex

chromosomes in a pregnant woman>s blood

in 1979; those cells had to have come from her

son, since women have only X chromosomes. It

turns out that all pregnant women carry some

fetal cells and DNA.

Scientists investigating fetal microchimerism

rst explored the cells> role in autoimmune

diseases, which are much more common in

women. They found fetal cells in the skin of

women with scleroderma and in the spleens

of women with systemic sclerosis, both

autoimmune diseases. More recent studies

suggest that fetal cells may actually protect

women against autoimmune disorders, such

as rheumatoid arthritis. These effects might be

caused by the mother>s immune response to the

child>s cells.

Fetal cells also appear to migrate to injury sites

and have been found in patients with thyroid

upon Olympus, the brazen armor of

the Atlantics dazzled the eye and their

spearheads seemed as multitudinous

.as wheat growing in a eld

But the Athenians fought desperately in

defense of their city-state and at last the

massed battalions of Atlantis faltered,

fell back, and turned in headlong retreat

.towards their ships

The Atlantic eet was about to set sail

when the whole sky turned the color of

dry blood, and a mass of black clouds

swept across it with such a dreadful

sound as had never been heard before.

The seas rose in gigantic waves

which swallowed the entire eet, while

the whole world reverberated with

earthquakes and the ocean roared and

rushed from one sea to another like

water swilling around in an immense

bowl. For days on end it seemed the

whole Cosmos would y apart. The

skies deluged the earth with water,

the mountains shuddered and cracked

apart, the oceans were a torment of

.monstrous waves

When at last the seas became calm

again a few battered ships crept into

port. They brought the news that Atlantis

had disappeared, and that the Atlantic

Ocean rolled over the place where this

magnicent empire once ourished in

.all its glory

Ever since those days, historians have

debated the reason why Atlantis was

obliterated. Some say that Poseidon

was angered by the Athenian victory,

and punished his people with total

destruction. Others say that an Atlantic

scientist had discovered the forbidden

secrets of the Cosmos, and released the

forces which may eventually destroy

the whole of mankind

The only thing remains to say is Atlantis

a myth or reality? Only the future will

ranches and the festival concluded with a

.great public banquet

The scientists and technocrats of

Atlantis were not jealous of their skills

and learning. They acted as industrial

missionaries who spread their knowledge

all over the known world. They taught the

Egyptians and the Mayans how to build

pyramids and the Greeks how to construct

Atlantes, the sculptured gures of males

which support the architraves of temples

and other buildings. They spread their

knowledge of metallurgy, astronomy,

medicine, magnetism, and many other

arts and sciences, wherever the ships of

Atlantis could sail. They invented reading

and writing, mathematics, agriculture,

architecture, and all the concepts of human

.civilization

It was rumored also that Atlantis scientists

expected to discover the mystic force

which powers the Cosmos and that when

they had harnessed this force there would

.be no limit to human achievements

For many centuries, Atlantis was the center

.of the world

The peace and security of the nation

were protected by a great army and

navy, too strong to be challenged by any

other country, and the Atlantis enjoyed

long contented lives of achievement and

prosperity. But, about 1200 centuries ago,

the parliament of the the Ten Kings began to

alter its attitude towards the outside world.

In one of the quinquennial parliaments,

the kings decided that it was not enough

for the Atlantics to spread their civilization

far and wide. Those who beneted from the

Atlantic technocracy should also become

its subjects and pay tribute to their imperial

.masters

Thus the Atlantics embarked upon the

conquest of the world. their ships took

expeditionary forces to Central and

South America, where they overwhelmed

the Incas, Aztecs, and Mayas and sent

rich booty back to Atlantis. Another force

conquered the whole of North Africa, and

regrouped in Egypt so that they might

invade Greece and then sweep eastwards

.through the kingdoms of Asia

In about 9500 BC, a great Atlantis invasion

eet sailed into the bat of Athens, where

a vastly outnumbered force of Athenians

waited to resist them. When the two armies

clashed the arrows ew in such clouds

.nest civilization

With Poseidon>s permission, and under

the guidance of the ten kings, they built a

magnicent city upon the circles of earth

surrounding the Hill of Cleito. Atlantic

architects used the red, black and white

marble of their county to design buildings

of dazzling splendor, with the three colors

artfully blended or contrasted to attract

.and please the eye

On the hill of Cleito they built her a great

palace, and this together with the palaces

of the ten kings and the temple of Poseidon

all blazed with inlays of gold and precious

.stones

The principle temple to Poseidon was the

wonder of all the world. The pinnacled roof

was so high that clouds drifted around

its spires, and it contained an enormous

image of Poseidon riding in his chariot

attended by sea nymphs and dolphins. The

unique beauty of the city, on its circles of

land linked by great bridges across the

circles of water, was further enhanced by

brilliant gardens, groves of owering trees,

.and innumerable sparkling fountains

Great universities, observatories, libraries,

laboratories and academies for people

of all ages showed that Atlantis was the

.well-spring of human arts and sciences

Portions of the city were devoted to

commerce and industry, because the

Atlantis used the discoveries of their

scientists and technologists as the basis

of a ourishing trade with other nations.

They dug a great canal from the city to

the sea, so that ships could sail right up

to the water-circles and pass from one to

another by tunnels dug through the land-

.circles

Visitors to the city wrote enthusiastically

of its beautiful women and handsome men;

of the freedom they enjoyed under the laws

of the ten kings; of the skilled craftsmen

who wrought in base and precious metals,

and of fresh sea breezes which cleared

the smoke of their foundries from the air;

of the busy markets where country folk

sold the rich and colorful produce of their

farms; and of the frequent festivals which

brought throngs of Atlantis singing and

dancing into the streets. The greatest of

these festivals was staged once every ve

years, when the ten kings assembled in

Poseidon>s temple for their quinquennial

.parliament

While they deliberated, stockmen drove

a number of splendid bulls in from the

outlying ranches and corralled them

within the temple grounds. Great crowds

assembled to admire these monstrous

animals with their sleek hides and sword-

like crescent horns, while warriors and

.nobleman prepared for the bull-hunt

When the parliament was over, the bulls

were released and the hunters chased

them barehanded through the temple

grounds, dodging their charges as they

attempted to seize one and throw it to the

ground. At last a group of hunters would

manage to corner a bull and wrestle it

to the ground, and the animal was then

sacriced to the glory of Poseidon. The

other bulls were taken back to their

the surrounding ocean in honor of his son.

They became Atlantis while the oceanic the

Poseidon is the most violent and most

jealous of the gods, distrustful of all mortals

including Cleito, and so he isolated her

upon her hill by digging three great moats

around it. Each was about a kilometer wide,

and separated from the others by a circle

of land of the same width. Thus the Hill of

Cleito was surrounded by great concentric

circles of land and water. When Poseidon>s

ten sons grew to maturity he made them

all into kings, each with responsibility for

one-tenth of Atlantis. Under his orders they

formed themselves into a council, led by

Atlas, to rule the nation for the benet of all
