... along with the entire bodies of cows and other farm animals known to be diseased. Rendering is a 2.4 billion-a-year industry, which processes forty billion pounds of dead animals a year. There is no such thing as a dead animal too diseased, too cancerous, or too putrid to be welcomed by the rendering plant.

... of their own lives. Satanism is a religion based on the reality that man is an animal, like all others. They choose to separate themselves from a society where natural behavior is suppressed and the strong support the weak. The average Satanist disagrees with much of Christianity. In many ways Christians are considered the enimies. Christians say Satan is a fallen angel, not a God. All religions have gods and demons, some of which are forbidden by a typical society.

... out among others. I too, in high school, wanted to be included in a group and stand out. During my freshman and sophomore years, I became a skater. Also during this time in my life, my father introduced me to the game of golf.

Private golf courses require a strict rules of dress which is mandatory: khakis and a collared-shirt. Ironically and unknowingly I had gone to the course with an almost exact opposite of the requirements: 38" wide jean pants and an XXL t-shirt! Embarras ...

... its death, leaving warlords poised to take power. We have long argued that the Asian economic meltdown, as its ultimate legacy, would politically reconfigure Asia. We meant this in both the international and domestic sense: Nations would behave differently after the meltdown than they did during the past generation of extraordinary prosperity. The reconfiguration of Sino-American relations is an obvious manifestation of this. But it is the domestic political changes that are the most profound and will have the most impact on international relations. It should be obvious that an economic transformation of the magnitu ...

... and the ad is the action that the leg is doing; it reflects the motion of a mechanical frame that moves the train's wheels. This is where "like produces like" comes into play. The photo in the ad suggests that when one wears Nike shoes, his shoes will have the same mechanical power of that of a train's wheels. Thus this image gives the viewer of the ad a simulation of what his leg would be doing on a bike but with more power. STYLE: The ad uses key words and key images to communicate its meaning. A key word used in this ad is "Strapped." The word "Strapped" implies that when you wear Nike shoes you ...
