Angelic Pretty

And not to be critical, but “Gothic” isn’t a style you’d normally spot on children, let alone bright and bubbly poofy princesses. That and the fact that lolita was kinda based on floral printed and simple dresses. That brings us to Classic Lolita. Classic Lolita is pretty basic, the normal anatomy.

Are You Infected? “No way! Not Possible!

What these authors said was an overstatement; one that did not…

“Pretty Woman” is a trumped-up, adult oriented version of “Cinderella”. This movie is by far one of my favorite romantic comedies from the 1990’s.

I want to tell you about the plot of the movie, to the actors in it and how dynamite their performance was in making this film a #1 Hit. A very wealthy, and successful lawyer, Edward Lewis, stumbles across a beautiful and…

The two films I chose to write about were Pretty Woman and My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Both films has positives and negatives…

Goh [15] proposed a method for secure index using Bloom filters and introduced the notion of semantic security against adaptive chosen-keyword attacks. Determining whether a file contains a keyword can be done securely in constant time. In the public key setting, Boneh et al.[5] first…
