mise en abyme is a term used in Western art history to describe a formal technique of placing a copy of an image within itself, often in a way that suggests an infinitely recurring sequence.
In film and literary theory, it refers to the technique of inserting a story within a story. A common sense of the phrase is the visual experience of standing between two mirrors, then seeing as a result an infinite reproduction of one's image. Mise en abyme occurs within a text when there is a reduplication of images or concepts referring to the textual whole. Mise en abyme is a play of signifiers within a text, of sub-texts mirroring each other. This mirroring can get to the point where meaning may be rendered unstable and, in this respect, may be seen as part of the process of deconstruction. In literary criticism, mise en abyme is a type of frame story, in which the core narrative may be used to illuminate some aspect of the framing story. The term is used in deconstruction and deconstructive literary criticism as a paradigm of the intertextual nature of language, that is, of the way language never quite reaches the foundation of reality because it refers in a frame-within-a-frame way, to other language, which refers to other language, and so forth.

Using a swivel chair, a cousin is spun around by a close relative. When the chair stops spinning, the two cousins who end up facing one another, can then start to kiss, neck, make out, and do whatever else, that comes to mind.
Jimbo said, “It was weird going to my family reunion.” Brandon replied by saying, “Why?, was it the fact that everyone over there looked like they had Down Syndrome?” “No.”, Jimbo said. “It’s because we all got drunk and ended up playing Spin the Cousin.”

Meta-ethics is one of the three branches of ethics generally studied by philosophers, the others being normative ethics and applied ethics.
There are three kinds of meta-ethics problems, or three general questions:
1) What is the meaning of moral terms or judgments? (moral semantics)
2) What is the nature of moral judgments? (moral ontology)
3) How may moral judgments be supported or defended? (moral epistemology) A question of the first type might be, "What do the words 'good', 'bad', 'right' and 'wrong' mean?" The second category includes questions of whether moral judgments are universal or relative, of one kind or many kinds, etc. Questions of the third kind ask, for example, how we can know if something is right or wrong, if at all.

Very similar to the participation in the Marco Polo threshold, but since a cat can’t say, “Marco!”, “Meow!” will have to suffice. In response to the “Meow!”, (Marco) from the cat, it’s human should then say, “Polo!” The game ends when the losing opponent stops responding in return.
I decided to start a game of Meow! Polo! when my cat Snee - Ki, started to have a separation/anxiety attack when she couldn’t find me. In response to her exclaiming “Meow!, I would then answer back by saying,”Polo!”

When the water in the lower soup can, which was attached to the trigger of the rifle, reached a certain weight, the rifle was fired. This ruse could lead a battle front of defenders, into believing that there could still be troops opposing them, while the soldiers were being evacuated. Lots of drip rifles can be set to go off at different times, to give the impression that the enemy forces, were still in a defensive position.
“The Anzac soldiers in the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps of 1914 - 1918, would sometimes employ the specialized use of a drip rifle, in order to confuse or manipulate the opposing offense into believing that they were at a tactical disadvantage, when in fact, they were not.”

On the psychological level, boredom, dissatisfaction and permanent frustration gradually lead the victim of burnout into a vicious circle. It gradually loses the will to act at the professional level and at the personal level. To the loss of self-esteem, is added the constant anxiety of being discovered. The burnout victim lives with the constant fear that his supervisor, his colleagues and even his friends will discover his inactivity and his duplicity. A state of constant sadness takes hold of the employee provoking crises of tears for no particular reason. Being constantly confronted with the emptiness of his professional life and his uselessness in society, the employee is in great pain. Suffering all the more accentuated that it can not be shared and if it is, is not understood. Boreout is also a trigger for physical diseases such as certain types of epilepsy caused by stress or exhaustion, severe sleep disorders, hand and voice tremors, shingles and ulcers.
