...3 In today’s story, we have a religious leader and an outcast Both have to overcome social stigmas to come to Jesus- both have to choose faith over fear Tell the story: Mark 5:21-43 Pray Central truth we can learn from today’s story: In moments of desperation: God is there listening and responding even if it’s not on our timetable Let’s look at these two people: Jairus and the nameless woman 1) Jairus’ desperate situation Leader of the synagogue- had declared Jesus to be public enemy #1 So Jairus coming to Jesus shows his desperation- this probably will cost him many of his friends and maybe even his job, but he doesn’t care because his daughter is dying We know from Luke’s account that this girl is his only daughter- she’s 12 years old- so they’ve had 12 years of joy together and her life is about to begin- in this society, 12 was when you might get engaged and should’ve been an exciting time, but she’s sick- she’s dying. She needs Jesus. And so does her father. 2) Woman’s desperate situation Woman is complete opposite of Jairus- she was a social and religious outcast because of a disease- most likely a uterian cyst- that has caused her to bleed for 12 years- so she’s had 12 years of pain and disgrace- in this society, she didn’t have a life because of her illness OT law said she was unclean so that means she couldn’t partake in any religious ceremonies at Jairus’ synagogue. But it also meant that if she was married- she couldn’t have sex with her husband...

...‘The Slaves went free and stood for a brief moment in the sun’ Du Bois; How valid is this view? In 1865 reconstruction begun with the aim of securing racial equality between blacks and whites in the southern states. Du Bois believes that during this period blacks ‘stood for a brief moment in the sun’. There were significant improvements to black lies that took place during this period such as their freedom of movement, re-unification of family units and improvements in education. However reconstruction also failed to secure racial equality in many ways. Black people were still economically deprived and there was no real political equality as most black people were prevented form voting in the south and most had to live with the threat of white supremacy groups such as the KKK. One of the most important benefits of the reconstruction for blacks was the freedom of movement. This meant Blacks could now move to find new work opportunities or to take advantage of new land in the west. Between 1865 and 1870 the black population of the South’s 10 largest cities doubled. Black people could now own their own property and choose their employment. One of the most significant impacts of this new freedom was the re-unification of many black families. Blacks could now move and find lost relations such as siblings and children who had been sold on to new owners during slavery, by 1900 80% of black families were strong family units. This freedom of movement meant blacks could now attempt to...

... no color, no regrets, no anger, no disagreements, no pain, no shame and lots of hope. I never thought that “one million plus” strong black men could dare to come together from all over the United States with one purpose and one passion; atonement and reconciliation. Black October, The Missing Moment occurred in Washington, D.C. on October 16, 1995. This was a mission called Million Man March; led by the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, of the Nation of Islam; on the National Mall. WE (Black Men) were all equal leaders that day of the original Million Man March. It was a significant moment in African American history, a “Missing Moment.” History has shown us time and time again that true change engages momentum when we experience a “defining moment.” As we continue to embrace the “defining moment” changes are destined to occur without much additional effort and progress will be realized. It is at this time we can look back and call the change that occurred as a defining moment, a pivotal moment, “Black October - The Missing Moment”...

...INSTITUTE TITLE: SIMPLE MOMENT EXPERIMENT 1. Objectives The objectives of the experiments are to demonstrate the equilibrium of moments. 2. Abstract This report presents the demonstration of the equilibrium of moments using MM 102 simple moments apparatus ESSOM Co. Limited. This equipment provides a simple easy to understand experiment on the equilibrium of moments. Several loads can be put on the beam at various positions. The student has to determine the moment necessary to overcome this rotation and keep the beam level. This experiment is done by putting a specific weight on the load hanger 1 and 3. Weight on load hanger 4 is put and moved until the beam is in equilibrium. The steps are repeated and all the results are jotted down into a table. Based on the results, equilibrium of the beam is influenced by the weight and distance on each hanger. Figure 1: MM 102 ESSOM Co. Limited 3. Introduction The purpose of the experiment was to determine the equilibrium of moments. A lever is a simple machine consisting of a beam pivoted at a fixed hinge or fulcrum. The lever arm of a force applied to a solid is the distance from the fulcrum to the line of action of this force. Equilibrium is reached when the algebraic sum of the moments of forces in relation to the fulcrum is zero. The Unit for studying Equilibrium of Moments on a two arm lever provides a simple way of understanding experiments on the equilibrium of moments. The Unit for studying Equilibrium...

...Hollow tube vs. Solid Rod The second moment of area, also known as the area moment of inertia is a property of a cross section that can be used to predict the resistance of beams to bending. The deflection of a beam under load depends not only on the load, but also on the geometry of the beam's cross-section. This is why beams with higher area moments of inertia, such as I-beams are so often seen in building construction as opposed to other beams with the same cross sectional area. The higher the area moment of inertia, the greater the resistance to bending. The formulas for area moment of inertia for solid and hollow round beams are; Solid round beam (rod): Hollow round beam (tube): Where = outer diameter and = inner diameter Assuming the two beams are made of the same material, the beam with the higher area moment of inertia will be more resistant to bending. Case 1. Two round beams each of which has the same weight (quantity of material and cross sectional area). If we choose a solid round rod of 1 in. diameter and a round tube of 1.5 in. outer diameter, the inner diameter of the round tube would be 1.118 in. resulting in a wall thickness of the 0.191 in. or a little more than 3/16 in. wall thickness to give the same cross-sectional area (the same amount of material thus the same weight). Solid Rod: Area moment of inertia: d=1 Hollow Tube: Area moment of inertia: di = 1.118 So comparing area moment of inertia for the hollow vs. the solid...

...Being a manager is hard. Throughout his book, “Defining Moments”, Joseph L. Badaracco Jr. explains the challenges managers face when making decisions on a daily basis and provides a framework for how to tackle those challenges. Early on, Badaracco explains how decisions between right and right (as opposed to right and wrong) are often the most difficult. Decisions like this can be seen as ‘defining moments’ because, according to Badaracco, they reveal, test, and shape a manager’s personal values as well as those of their organization. They also cause managers to come away with ‘dirty hands’, the unfortunate side effect of choosing one ‘right’ option over the other. It is how Badaracco puts these decisions in perspective that sets this book apart from other ethical decision-making books. ‘Defining Moments’ goes on to introduce a few real world cases that exemplify right versus right dilemmas. These examples demonstrate certain challenges that manager’s face, as well as serve to impress upon the reader the idea that there is almost never a clear-cut solution. The first case is that of Steve Lewis, a black analyst asked to represent his company’s diversity at a special presentation. The issue lies in whether he should sacrifice his personal values to satisfy his company’s request. Lewis’ case reveals how conflicts of personal integrity and moral identity shape one’s ultimate decision. A lot of thought must be given to choices that involve a matter of personal values in terms of...

...very simple device that can measure the mass of an object. In this experiment, we are going to make a lever that consists of ruler, 50 gram weight and string that could measure the mass of a battery. We will get the mass by using the formula of moment (moment = distance×force) and based on the data that we obtain from the experiment. Moment is a force that can make object turn around if there is a pivot, for example the see-saw. Objective * To understand the use of moment formula (moment = distance×force) * To use the principle of moment to calculate an unknown weight. Materials * Meter stick × 1 * Battery × 1 * 50 gram weight × 1 * String × 1 * Scissor × 1 * Tape × 1 * Retort stand and clamp × 1 Procedure 1. Cut the string into half with scissor 2. Fold one of the strings into half and then tie a knot at the end of the string. Repeat this for another string. 3. Tape the battery on the string and then tape the 50 gram weight on another string. 4. Clamp the meter stick on the retort stand with clamp on the middle (50cm) of the stick. 5. Hang the battery on one side of the meter stick and the 5g weight on another side. 6. Move the 5g weight to make the meter stick balanced. 7. Loosen the clamp to test if the stick is balanced 8. Find the distance between battery and pivot, and also the distance between 50g weight and pivot. 9. Use Moment = distance × force and Distance1 × Force1 = Distance2 × Force2...

...Jean Watson’s Theory of Human Caring Caring Moment - “The moment (focal point in space and time) when the nurse and another person come together in such a way that an occasion for human caring is created” In Jean Watson's theory of caring she has tried to make “explicit nursing's values, knowledge, and practices of human caring that are geared toward subjective inner healing processes and the life world of the experiencing person, requiring unique caring-healing arts and a framework called "carative factors," which complemented conventional medicine, but stood in stark contrast to "curative factors." At the same time, this emerging philosophy and theory of human caring sought to balance the cure orientation of medicine, giving nursing its unique disciplinary, scientific, and professional standing with itself and its public.” (Watson, 1999) Concepts: • Carative factors (evolving toward "Clinical Caritas Processes") • Transpersonal Caring Relationship • Caring Moment/Caring Occasion Jean Watson’s 10 carative factors that can be used as a guideline to help nursing interventions. These carative factors provide a framework that aids the nurse to pay attention to the caring processes. 1. Embrace altruistic values and practice loving kindness with self and others. 2. Instill faith and hope and honor others. 3. Be sensitive to self and others by nurturing individual beliefs and practices. 4. Develop helping – trusting- caring relationships. 5. Promote and accept...

...Have you ever been in a very tough life or death situation? Brian had a lot of aha moments through the book Hatchet. There were good ones, and there were bad ones. The good ones were crucial for Brian to survive, and the bad ones were tough. I picked the two aha moments Brian had that I thought were the most important to survive. One was very crucial to getting out of the wilderness and the other was an important wilderness lesson. Now, I will be talking about the fist aha moment I found. A one about wisdom. In chapter 18, the text says, “The hatcher. He might be able to cut or hack with the hatchet…” This aha moment was so important because without it he probably would not have been able to get in the sunken plane. Then, if he did not get...

...mother. Amy Tan seems to write this story to show the reader the main character’s aha moment and how she reached that moment. When Ford discusses short stories in his article, he seems to think that there is a moment in every story that changes the life of the main character. He believes that they “make us believe that entire lives can change…on account of one little manufactured moment of clear-sightedness.2” Whatever his opinions on short stories, one thing he said really stood out: moment of clear-sightedness. He believes that one moment in the story stands out more than the rest because of the effect it has on the story. He explains that something magical happens in every story that causes the main characters life to makes sense and come together. Is this even possible? To understand Jing-Mei the reader needs to know a bit more about her background: In “Two Kinds,” Jing-Mei laments over how horrible her life was while her mother attempted to make her a perfect child. Her mother lost everything in China, and moved to America in order to have a better life. Putting all of her efforts into making Jing-Mei a prodigy put serious strain on their relationship, causing tension between them. Jing-Mei is finally able to be happy when her mother gives up and allows her to just be a kid and not to have to worry about pleasing anybody or trying to become something she’s not. But how did she reach her breaking point? Or as Ford would call it, her moment? Jing-Mei’s mother tells her to...
