Abstract
The paper discusses how by destroying those that were unfaithful, the Israelites need not fear being temporarily dominated by the Babylonians or even the Romans. The paper posits that by understanding this context in the spiritual visions of Ezra, one can know and understand them to be apocalyptic in their biblical context (the tradition of the apocalypse through visionaries), as well as in the context of God's punishment of the unfaithful - vindicating the Jewish people from the destruction that would be brought upon their enemies.

Abstract
Opening with an overview of the novel, this paper provides a review of the themes and characters of Ben Okri's "In Arcadia". Some of the themes discussed are our notions of life and death. The writer says this is presented in the book as a discussion between the reality of our situation versus the idealism of our perceptions of the world. Another theme the writer presents is the spirituality of human nature. The paper concludes that the novel presents a case for humanity to better appreciate the life it has to offer.

From the Paper
"This epiphany portrays Sam as indecisive on whether he should satisfy his urge for filming an elusive even at the desert or seek for water from the oasis to quench his thirst and in the end he neither gets the first nor the latter. Sam's epiphany carries the message that he should not be too obsessed with his ideal in finding his 'elusive something' as this will make him lose sight of other important things in life.
"Hence, the notion of life in the novel In Arcadia is to warn the readers of the dangers of putting too much emphasis on idealism in one's life compared to living life in reality."

Abstract
This paper considers the background and experience of Ben Bernanke as he takes over the Fed and how monetary policy is likely to be affected compared to his predecessor, Alan Greenspan.

From the Paper
"It is often assumed that the Federal Reserve, the Fed, is a government agency; technically, it is not. Its leaders are appointed by presidents, its mandate is from Congress and its actions are felt by the citizenry as a whole. Business obviously has a stake in the actions of the Fed but so does labor. The Fed maintains its independence from any one branch of government and only Congress can overturn its actions although that step has never been taken. The chairman..."

Abstract
Everybody has problems in translation. This paper attempts to clarify concepts and theories in translation theory - from Walter Benjamin to Ezra Pound - and focuses on Ezra Pound's translation of Chinese poetry and how Pound became a successful translator in modern poetry. It looks at how Pound's attention to detail and foreignizing technique made him a very vivid and innovative translator of the 20th century. The paper discusses some of Pound's translation strategies as well as explaining them by giving specific examples from his best known work "Cathay".

From the Paper
"First of all, it is worthwhile to define 'translation'. In dictionary, to translate has several meanings. To translate is "to express or be capable of being expressed in another language or dialect", or "to express or explain in simple or less technical language", or "to interpret or infer the significance of (gestures, symbols, etc.)", or "to transform or convert", or "to move or carry from one place or position to another". Within the limits of these definitions, one can easily understand that the practice of translation is not simple as it seems. Rather, it is a sophisticated matter since it involves number of things, when translating something to something else-this can be a word, a gesture, a movement, or something else. Interestingly, translation can be seen as an "interpretation"; generally, the word interpretation is used in literary circles for an attempt to clarify and explain literary works. "

Abstract
The paper discusses the life histories of Francisco Goya and poet Ezra Pound. It analyzes Goyas "El 2 de Mayo," "The Colossus," and "Saturn Devouring His Son" and Pound's poems "MEDITATIO," "The Cantos," and "These Fought in Any Case". The paper also includes replicas of some of Goya's paintings.

From the Paper
"The two artists chosen for this paper fall into the innovative or creative section of the arts. Firstly, Ezra Pound is known for his modernistic style and is also known for exchanging ideas and allowing other credited artists to critique his work. His style was derived from Japanese and Chinese literature called Imagism, this touched on accuracy, precision, and a traditional rhyme scheme (Academy, 1). Francisco Goya, also known as "the Father of Modern Art," influenced the world with his works. His general feeling of bitterness towards the world was predominantly shown in his works. Due to the fact that Ezra Pound and Francisco Goya are both brilliant artist many parallels can be drawn between the two."
