    What happens when you experience something that brings into question all you know about the world in which you live? Something that eats away at the already-frayed notions many of us have about what is true and what is not true? About what is possible and what is impossible? For Alice Caitlyn (Kate Johnson what was), the past year already had delivered a healthy dose of body blows. One would have thought a chance encounter with a handsome schoolmate from years gone by would have augured well for things to come. But when was Fate ever so easy or so generous? This is a story about the world in which we live and how we come to know it and to understand it. It's a story about chance and circumstance, one that might even be a little funny. (But let's not get too carried away on that note.) Most important, it's a story about friendship and love, those two states the absence of which make life and its vagaries scarce worth pondering.

    Heredity is the transmission of traits from parents to offspring. It is widely known that heredity is passed down genetically. The genotype, in combination with environmental influences, forms the phenotype of an organism. However, in addition to the generally accepted view, it is important to recognize a separate path - human heredity also includes upbringing. This mechanism is also found in species with sufficiently developed brains, though to a significantly lesser extent. The qualitative level is characterized by the importance of distinguishing traits within a species, with the greatest significance of differences observed in the process of evolution

    Struggle with polar opposite thoughts opinions and qualities: wouldn't call it bipolar though, more like a war between body mind and spirit when they are not in agreement. Who is in charge? Which is the one to follow ? Are they all good or is one a side of us that leads us astray from our path to full potential ? After a break up my entire structure of my beliefs have been shaken.

    Everything was calm in the village of Sooga, Pucca was running after Garu while he didn't want to receive her kisses, the Guh-Ryong restaurant owned by the girl's uncles and father was operating normally, and the friends of the two "boyfriends", Abyo and Ching, also watched the boy's incredible escape. But after years, something changes. Pucca, more mature, decided to act more intelligently and, with more willingness than ever to kiss her beloved Garu, will double her efforts to get the ninja's love and affection. The problem is that Garu and Pucca's enemies won't let this happen, but the girl is imposing, and will be tougher than ice. "You can call me a thorn in your side!"
