Se desvió por la carretera interestatal cuando un gran camión aceleró hacia él a lo que parecía ser la velocidad de la luz. Su esposo gritó: "¡Cuidado!" Un destello rojo, un ruido de metal que partía del oído contra metal, un crujido de huesos y luego silencio. Sintió una paz inmediata pero al mismo tiempo no sintió nada. Solo vio una luz brillante, pero nada. Era una sensación de existir en la inexistencia. La única forma en que el hombre podría describir su muerte cuando se despertara era flotando de dolor, paz, oscuridad y luz de una vez. Cuando de repente, sintió un shock en sus venas. "Damian!" Sus ojos se abrieron de golpe, y la realidad se estrelló contra él como si la camioneta se hubiera estrellado contra su cuerpo. Los doctores se pararon a su alrededor, sonriendo con alivio. "¿Qué?" Él farfulló, era todo lo que podía manejar. "Bienvenido de nuevo, Damian", dijo uno de los médicos. Tenía la cabeza llena de algodón, le apretaban el corazón y le cortaban el brazo por la mitad. Miró hacia un lado y vio que, de hecho, tenía el brazo cortado por la mitad. Él se estremeció. "¿Gary?" Preguntó, casi sin querer saber. "Lo siento mucho, Damian", respondió un médico con tristeza. "El se fue." La única forma en que describiría su dolor cuando se despertara era flotando de dolor, paz, oscuridad y luz, todo a la vez.
He swerved across the interstate as a large truck sped towards him at what seemed to be the speed of light. His husband screamed, “Watch out!” A flash of red, an ear splitting noise of metal against metal, a crack of bone, and then silence. He felt immediate peace but at the same time felt nothing. He saw only a bright light, but nothing. It was a feeling of existing in nonexistence. The only way the man would be able to describe his death when he awoke was floating in pain, peace, darkness, and light all at once. When suddenly, he felt a shock course through his veins. “Damian!” His eyes flashed open, and reality came crashing into him like the truck had crashed into his body. Doctors stood around him, smiling with relief. “What?” He sputtered, it was all he could manage. “Welcome back, Damian,” said one of the doctors. His head was full of cotton, his heart was being squeezed, his arm was cut in half. He looked to the side and saw that his arm was in fact cut in half. He shivered. “Gary?” He asked, almost not wanting to know. “I’m so sorry, Damian,” a doctor answered sorrowfully. “He’s gone.” The only way he would describe his grief when he awoke was floating in pain, peace, darkness, and light all at once.
Ecumene is a term used by geographers to mean inhabited land. It generally refers to land where people have made their permanent home, and to all work areas that are considered occupied and used for agricultural or any other economic purpose.
Explanation:
The ecumene (US) or oecumene (UK; Greek: οἰκουμένη, oikouménē, lit. "inhabited") was an ancient Greek term for the known, the inhabited, or the habitable world. Under the Roman Empire, it came to refer to civilization as well as the secular and religious imperial administration. In present usage, it is most often used in the context of "ecumenical" and describes the Christian Church as a unified whole, or the unified modern world civilization. It is also used in cartography to describe a type of world map (mappa mundi) used in late Antiquity and the Middle Ages.
The subjects of a conquered kingdom are not used to living in freedom or standing up for themselves, and are therefore slower to take up arms than are the citizens of a republic. There are three options for the conquering prince: destroy the republic, live there, or set up a puppet government. At the end of the day, Machiavelli seems to favor the first option.
According to IRS, it allows for a single tax-free rollover of a 529 account per beneficiary in a 12-month period. This 12 month rule should not be violated because it can result to a 10% penalty on the earnings. However, transfers across siblings are not considered rollovers.
