A mental and emotional condition created by; a preponderance of bureaucratic dim-wits;
good intentioned meddling misionaries and govermental agencies; diseased, starving, dying children; man's own innate ability to overload his circuits (see "battle fatigue" in dictionary); the greed of the 5% of the world's people who own and control 95% of the wealth, land, and use of resources...
Resulting in a conditon whereby those affected with Peace Corps Syndrome feel guilt at luxury of any sort, are often advocates for the uneducated and poorer peoples of the Earth, and who realize that Mother Earth cannot support man in the manner and style of the 5% who control her.

Brother Maynard, played by Eric Idle, is one of the minor characters in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, first appearing in the scene where King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table first met Tim the Enchanter, as the keeper of several sacred relics, including the infamous Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch.
He was the one responsible for bringing out the Grenade for Arthur to slay the Rabbit of Caerbannog, and later, when the Knights entered the Cave of Caerbannog, he helped to translate the ancient Aramaic text left by Joseph of Aramathea, revealing the location of the Holy Grail to be in the Castle Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh.
Shortly afterwards, he was eaten by the Black Beast of Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh.

Electronic paradox or e-paradox (pronounced ee-par-uh-doks) is a common error that occurs when writing email. E-mail was intended to make communication more efficient through its ease and speed of transmittal. However, email tends to be written informally and with haste. When this happens tone is lost and the likelihood of the receiver misunderstanding the message increases.
Common mistakes that change the tone of an email:
1. For important emails, business emails, not reviewing the tone of the email before sending can cost you a key account and derail relationships. An easy way to make sure the tone is appropriate is to ask someone else to review your email. Often times you are not in a position to ask someone for their input. Recommend putting the email in draft for at least 30 minutes and doing another activity. Changing tasks will give you fresh eyes when you read it again.
2. We have all read emails that are too informal. Certain protocol should be followed when sending emails that are important. Addressing an email to your friend Bob as "Hey Bob" is fine for friends. It does not work well when Bob is, say, the company CEO.
3. WRITING IN ALL CAPS. Writing in all CAPS means you are shouting. Unless you are conveying cheer, recommend not using all caps in any email message. Appropriate use of ALL CAPS in email is "GO VOLS!". An example of an inappropriate use of ALL CAPS is "PLEASE FINISH THE MARKET ANALYSIS BY END OF TODAY".
The term "e-paradox" was first coined October, 1999 at Mortimer's in Minneapolis, Minnesota by Adam Moffatt and Kristinn Haraldsson.

Some of her primary responsibilities include administration and co-ordination of the research activities undertaken by the Centre for Informatics and Applied Optimization (CIAO) as well as liaison for postgraduate research students.
