Ame’s Room Ame’s room is only a distorted optical ilusion. This room was invented by American opthalmolegist Adelbert Ames Jr. in 1934, and constructed in 1935. There are several illusions to this room. The room appears to look cubic from a certain point of view.

This room is set up to look as if it were a perfectly normal room. However,…

AME Churches are the underdogs, the strugglers we are the people who still come out of the fight alive. That strength, that will to survive comes from the force behind our church’s history and where everything started- Mother Bethel and Richard Allen. The Church was designed to be safe haven for slaves to give us a piece of freedom with religion. We weren’t allowed to praise God with caucasians, then let’s set out and make something for ourselves, nothing can stop us from praising our Savior. I…

Yet there are many things that at first held Zaitzev back from defecting; those things also kept many of his countrymen from doing what he is doing now. There is, of course, the reputation of the KGB, the most feared, ruthless, and savage “security agency”, as it was technically called. In reality, its main roles are intelligence and counterintelligence. As good as the KGB is at intelligence, its primary role, its capacity for counterintelligence is renowned. Any half-decent intelligence agency…

Cathy Ames: The Anti-Mother One of Steinbeck’s most extraordinary characters of East of Eden, and in his literary career, is known as Cathy Ames. Her preternaturalness in fact is spoken in itself, she is not like other females, let alone not like humankind. Steinbeck in fact creates this impression of Cathy not only through her extreme sense of maliciousness, yet he explores her paradoxical nature through her lack of morality, which ultimately empowers her instead. However, this very lacking,…

pool. This is a problem that is occurring in the Ames Municipal Pool, where I swim for practice each night and on Saturday mornings. Kids are getting bumps from the Ames Municipal pool water all over their arms and legs and bloody noses from the air in the pool area. Coughing and red stinging eyes. Do you think that’s from pee in the water? You might, but in reality, those are just a few signs of an old pool. According to www.thecityofames.org/ the Ames Municipal Pool was constructed in 1965,…

occurred in the Ames case was a prolonged and lengthy investigation that ultimately occurred in the discovery of Ames’s actions. (Ehrman 2009, 15) In the financial account of Aldrich Ames was a smoking gun that should have been a key connecting factor to the conduct of espionage. What had been seen on Ames was a financial account that had very large debts attached to it, yet Ames had lived well beyond his means. (FAS.org 1994) In the case of espionage from an insider threat, Ames had received a…

An Ames room is a distorted room that gives an optical illusion. The room was first constructed in 1946 by an American ophthalmologist named Adelbert Ames Jr. and it was invented in 1934. The room is based on a concept invented by Hermann Helmholtz in the late 19th century according to my research. The room has two illusions, one is that the room appears to look squared when you look at it through a small hole in the front of the room but it is not it is actually like a trapezoid. The second…

accepts criticism to be the best version of themself as possible. It is because I believe that I’m very receptive to other people’s input, always try to better myself, and enjoy helping people – that I hope to be a worthy candidate for a captain of the Ames High Debate Team. The core of a debate team are the novices. When I was a novice, I definitely didn’t see myself that way, always aspiring to follow the in role of the awe-inspiring seniors. After two years, I feel like the greatest thing a…

Both Paul Farmer and John Ames live lives that bring them happiness as they attempt to live out their vocation. In doing this, they influence others and find meaning in their world. Ames, in preaching his countless sermons and baptizing those within his small town of Gilead, becomes a respected figure in the town, with great meaning to those who know him best. Farmer lives out his vocation in being a doctor for the underprivileged, whether in prisons or in developing nations, such as Haiti. By…
