...The founder of the Florida East Coast Railway, Henry Flagler was born on January 2, 1830 in Hopewell, New York. At the age of 14, Henry left school during his 8th grade year to work in Ohio for the Harkness Family, who were the family of Henry’s mother’s second husband. On November 9, 1853, Flagler married Mary Harkness with whom he had three children. After working in the salt and grain industry for many years, Flagler partnered with John D. Rockefeller to form a partnership that later became Standard Oil Corporation, an oil refinery business that expanded to many states. May 18, 1881, Henry’s wife Mary died in New York and two years later he married one of his deceased wife’s nurses, Alice Shourds. Since Henry was busy with the refinery business the couple were not able to honeymoon until the winter time, at which time they visited St. Augustine, Florida. Henry Flagler found the city charming but the hotel facilities and transportation systems not right. Flagler began construction of the 540 room Ponce De Leon hotel by himself, but spent several times his original estimate of $200,000. In order to create a transportation system for his hotel, Flagler purchased short line railroads in what later became known as the Florida East Coast Railway. The Ponce de Leon hotel opened on January 10, 1888 and was an instant success. He also built a railroad bridge across the Saint Johns River to gain access to the southern half of the state and purchased the hotel Ormond just north...

When we entered the shop we were greeted by sales assistants standing by the door. One of the sales assisstants took us to the mountain bike section. As I entered the section, I was amazed by the sight. From head to toe were colourful bikes lining agaiinst the walls. Small bikes, medium bikes and large bikes were piled against the wall. I chosed a ruby red bike and my Uncle chose a blue bike. As we had a day rental, we decided to cycle to Changi Beach and East Point. I hopped on my bike and started to cycle. along the way we passed many shops selling food, drinks, children playing in the sea or building sandcastles. The bicycle trail winded further East. There was a part where the bicycle trail winded near a pach of the beach and we could see the clear blue water rising on the beach and lowering back down into the sea. as it rised, we could see a tiny bit of the beautiful, peaceful, loving underwater world. The water smelt fresh but it also smelt a bit salty. Moving...

...[pic] ▪ Henry Morrison Flagler was born on January 2, 1830 in Hopewell, New York. He was an American businessman, real estate promoter, and railroad developer. ▪ He was a key figure in the development of the eastern coast of Florida along the Atlantic Ocean and was founder of what became the Florida East Coast Railway. He is known as the father of Miami, Florida and also founded Palm Beach, Florida. ▪ In 1912, a proud Henry Flagler rode the first train into Key West, marking the completion of the Florida East Coast (FEC) Railway's overseas railroad connection to Key West and the linkage by railway of the entire east coast of Florida. ▪ The FEC was the product of Flagler's resources and imagination. Flagler's construction of hotels at points along the railroad and his development of the agricultural industry through the Model Land Company established tourism and agriculture as Florida's major industries. Amazingly, Flagler accomplished these feats after retiring from his first career. Flagler had already founded the vast empire of Standard Oil with partners John D. Rockefeller and Samuel Andrews, before becoming interested in Florida. ▪ When Flagler first visited Florida in 1878, he recognized the state's potential for growth but noticed a lack of hotel facilities. Flagler returned to Florida and in 1885 began building a grand St. Augustine hotel, the Hotel Ponce de Leon. Flagler realized that the key to developing Florida was a solid transportation...

...July 1, 2011 The United States Geological Society (2011) states “The world’s earthquakes are not randomly distributed over the earth’s surface, and tend to be concentrated in narrow zones”. This statement seems to hold true when it comes to the distribution of earthquakes in the United States as they happen primarily in those narrow fault zones. These fault zones are located in Alaska (Prince William Sound), on our West Coast ( San Andreas Fault), on our East Coast (Rambo Fault Line) and in the Midwest (New Madrid Fault) which all lying on the North American Tectonic Plate, a massive irregularly shaped slab of solid rock which is approximately 8000 kilometers or almost 5000 miles wide (Trefil and Hazen, 2011). Tectonic plates are in constant motion as they interact along their margins to form mountain belts, earthquakes and volcanoes. Plate size can vary greatly, from a few hundred to thousands of kilometers across; the Pacific and Antarctic Plates are among the largest. Living in Cincinnati, Ohio carries a relatively high risk of a major earthquake because it lies on the border of the New Madrid Seismic Zone (NMSZ) and the Wabash Valley Seismic Zone (WVSZ) which have the most active geological areas in the eastern United States. The smaller of the two areas is the Wabash Valley area which lies in the Southeastern part of Illinois and Southwestern part of Indiana and came to fame most recently after a 5.4 magnitude earthquake struck Mt....

...Huffman trucking originated in Cleveland, Ohio in 1936, because of World War II the company grew due to the increasing demand of materials. By 1945 the company had grown exponentially, thanks to the relationship forged with the United States Government. Today the company has grown to a nationwide transportation company with 1,400 employees and hubs in Los Angeles, California, Saint Louis, Missouri, and Bayonne, New Jersey with its central facility still located in Cleveland, Ohio. The company today has over 800 tractors, and has expected revenue of $600,000,000 for the 2004 fiscal year (Apollo Group, Inc, 2003,2004,2012). When reviewing all of the facilities and systems within every single facility it’s noticeable that they are all running independent systems, which some don’t even have firewalls installed for the network. Compiling all of the systems in the four offices, and plants we find different operating systems (OS). This OS include Windows 3.1, Windows 3.X, Windows 9.X, Windows NT, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000 Professional, Windows XP Professional, Mac OS, Novel Netware 4.11, Windows 2000 Server, Windows Proxy Server 2, Windows Exchange 5, and CISCO (Apollo Group, Inc, 2003,2004,2012). In addition, to different types telephonies systems, webmail servers, and different types of hardware in every location. I don’t believe the OS were chosen by the Ohio office per say. Looking at the history of the company Huffman trucking, by the end of the war the company had...

...Prussian aggression. England was already at war with France in India and in North America and so joined in as an ally of Prussia to oppose France. Most of the land battles were fought in Europe east of the Rhine River. The final neocolonial war between France and Great Britain, the French and Indian War actually stared in Europe. Called the Seven Years' War, the French and Indian War actually began two years earlier than its European counterpart. The three prior French-English conflicts in America were largely centered in the Northeast, but the French and Indian War shifted to the Ohio River Valley, an area that had become increasingly important as European interests began to reach west. The French built a series of forts in the Ohio Valley, the most important being Fort Duquesne. At the same time, the British Crown had offered large land grants for settlement. The beginning of the war saw the French winning. As early as 1754, a Virginian named George Washington become notable during an unsuccessful attempt to capture Fort Duquesne. The French and their Indian allies ambushed a column of British regulars under the command of Gen. Edward Braddock in July 1755. British casualties were heavy during Braddock's Campaign; Braddock himself was killed. The British column was forced to withdraw. The Ohio Valley Indians viewed Braddock's defeat as an opportunity to strike a blow against the English. Thousands of settlers from Virginia and Pennsylvania to South Carolina became victim to Indian...

...Amphibians: Bufo alvarius, also known as Colorado river toad. The Colorado river toad is found in the northern part of Mexico, the southern parts of Arizona and New Mexico, and the southeast corner of California (Robinson, 2001). The Colorado river toad is a dark olive green color and leathery skin. The Colorado river toad is carnivorous and is known to eat snails, beetles, spiders, grasshoppers, lizards, mice and other smaller toad species. Pseudacris crucifer, also known as spring peeper. The spring peeper is native to eastern North American. It is found from southeast Manitoba east of the Atlantic Ocean, and south eastern Texas and mainland Florida, but not on the Florida Peninsula (Skelly, 1996). Spring peepers are found in marshy woods and non-wooded lowlands near ponds and swamps. Although they are good climbers, spring peepers seem to prefer to be on the ground or hiding in leaf litter. This frog is usually some shade of brown, gray, or olive, and occasionally may be yellow or reddish. The spring peeper mainly eats small insects, including ants, beetles, flies and spiders. One way the Colorado river toad and the spring peeper are alike is their diet. They both eat beetles and spiders. Also they are both aquatic. One of the ways that they are different is their sizes. The Colorado river toad is a large from ranging from 110-187 mm, where as the spring peeper is a smaller toad ranging from 20-25 mm. Another way that these two are different is their lifespan...

God went on to also extend a blessing to all those nations (Genesis 22:17), however everyone in every nation has not realized or fail to believe the message of salvation through Jesus Christ. Fortunately, God has also given a provision for hope to those who are considered to be “unreached” by the Gospel. It is through the command issued to his disciples in Matthew 28:19, “go ye therefore and teach all nations,” that Christians today can literally change the world by taking the gospel to all four corners of the earth. ...

...R.L. Stine R.L. Stine was born Robert Lawrence Sine on October 8, 1943, in Columbus, Ohio and is the oldest of three siblings. He was introduced to reading at a young age by his mother who was able to spend a good amount of time with her children due to the fact that she was a homemaker. He fell in love with reading. "When I was a kid, there were these great comic books called Tales from the Crypt and The Vault of Horror," he says. "They were gruesome. I discovered them in the barbershop and thought they were fabulous. I used to get a haircut every Saturday so I wouldn't miss any of these comic books. I had no hair at all when I was a kid!" The first book he ever wrote was called The Giggle Book, which he wrote when he was nine years old. In the sixth grade, Stine decided he wanted to be a writer after finding an old type writer in his parents attack. He began to write stories and joke books in high school and would take them to school and hand them out to his class mates. He liked the reaction of the other students when they read his work and, of course, the added attention he was getting didn’t hurt either. This set off a chain reaction and Stine has been writing ever since. After high school, Stine attended Ohio State University. In 1965, he graduated with a Batchlor of Arts degree in education and began teaching social studies at a New York high school. On June 22, 1969, he married his wife Jane and their son, Matt Daniel Stine, was born on June 7, 1980. During...

...The Standard Oil Company of Ohio was managed tremendously, and it also produced efficient work due to its thorough organization and how much economic leverage it had. As a result of this, the minor depressions that occurred in the United States hardly affected Rockefeller and his monopoly. By 1879, the Standard Oil Company of Ohio controlled the entire oil industry in America. This allowed Rockefeller to expand and incorporate pipelines, oil terminals, and facilities for direct-marketing. The Standard Oil Company of Ohio was responsible for the production of over 90 percent of refined oil in America, while using its own means of transportation and storage. Rockefeller ran his company so precisely that he was able to lower the cost of refined oil from ¢23 per gallon to ¢7 per gallon. Entering the 1880s, Rockefeller decided to focus less attention on refined oil and began to employ more attention towards the production of crude oil. He fueled this next phase of his company by acquiring oil land before he knew if it...
