So we took of threw almond trees as fast as we coulA SCARY SITUATION I have had a couple of dangerous and tough situations in my life. I was once riding dirtbikes with my friends and we got a gun pulled on us. We were really scared. So we turned the bikes around as fast as we could. I was riding with my best friends Mitchel and Mathew. At first we were at mitchel and Mathews house. So we decided to go for a little dirt bike ride. When we took off Mathew noticed that his bike was smoking. So he thought maybe we can ride with no problems. But that was not true, the bike started sputtering so we turned around, and thats when it all started. After we turned around and we seen a truck coming towards us so we slowly turned off the road. After we got onto the dirt the truck turned in front of us. So then we thought ‘oh its just somebody messing with us’. But we were wrong. One of the d. And when we got back to the house we told Mitchel and Mathews mom what happened. \ That is the end of my very scary moment. I have lots of other scary moments such as breaking my nose and crashing a dirt bike. But this was one of the scariest moments ever. There are probably a lot more scary moments to come, but until then that was my scary...

...way that Gladwell introduces us to the idea of the “Mathew Effect.” He argues that being among the best at something, is not a result of innate talent but rather it is having the good fortune of being in a skill-learning environment at the right time and in the right place. In some cases, the conducive environment is simply being the right age with the right resources available. When age and resources line up at the on-set of learning a skill, this initial advantage accumulates; it exponentially increases over time. The result of successive advantages leads to what is mistaken as natural ability....

...The Mathews vs. Eldridge Case: A Review of the Significance of Due Process. In my opinion of the case Mathews vs. Eldridge was a valid claim in such that Mr. Eldridge wanted to be heard and felt as if his social security benefits had been unjustly terminated. In review of the case it is found that the Mathews vs. Eldridge case established a new precedence in deciding if due process is appropriated. The result of the case was that there should be a balance between “the interests affected and the administrative burden.” (www.invisipress.com). Mr. George Eldridge had been a Social Security beneficiary from June of 1968 up until July of 1972. His original Social Security disability benefits were noted as being because of back strain and chronic anxiety, later Mr. Eldridge contended in a written reply to the administration, after being told his benefits were to become terminated, that he had spinal arthritis and that there was enough formal documentation to determine disability benefits presented at earlier dates. The agency proceeded to terminate his benefits and informed him that he had the right to file a rebuttal within six months to be heard for reconsideration. Mr Eldridge did not do so; though Mr. Eldridge had been offered a post-termination procedure in which an oral evidentiary hearing was to be included, he instead chose to bring suit and argued that Fifth Amendment Rights had been violated. The suit claimed that Mr. Eldridge’s benefits had been terminated in violation...

...“Town up ahead, 3 kilotimers” my little brother Mathew said with confusion as he attempted to read the street sign. “Big brother, what does kilotimers mean is it something we can eat?” he asked. “First of all its kilometres” I corrected “and second it’s how far away we are from the upcoming town. Not something we eat” I answered with a grin on my face. Mathew is my younger brother, with his long dark thin hair and his bright blue eyes. He was covered in dirt, his green jacket, grey pants and his adorable orange racing t-shirt. His favourite toy was an action-man figurine which he took everywhere, he kept in his back-pack along with his other “collectable toys”. After our parents past away from a radioactive explosion I found myself relying on Mathew just as much as he relied on me. I relied on him to tell me where we are for he had much better eye sight than I did, for the radiation that had created this barren wasteland had caused major damage to my eyes restricting the amount of light entering them making it hard to make out object or even words in this world where the sun only comes out as a miracle. As we came closer to the seamlessly abandoned town the common stench of decomposing bodies focused me to breathe through my mouth unlike Mathew for he had no sense of smell. “Still not used to the smell yet big brother?” Mathew said with a grin on his face. Mathew didn’t need a sense of smell to know what is around us he would always use my facial expressions to say make out the...

...Prejan) and Sean Penn (Mathew Poncelet). Dead man walking follows an epic experience of a nun, Sister Prejan, with a convicted murderer and rapist, Mathew Poncelet. The movie debates many complex political, religious and ethical issues concerning capital punishment, going through the experience and knowledge of the movie cast. Yet, it intelligently criticizes the law of capital punishment and describes it as an immoral and injustice act of murder. furthermore, Mathew Poncelet who faces death penalty is constantly seen to be facing some form of torture and denial from the society; his life becomes an instrument of the political world while he constantly tries to save himself but fails; however, Mathew’s death brilliantly questions the legitimacy of the death penalty law. The movie criticizes the injustice role of the government on the death penalty law, describing it as propaganda by the government to raise support in expense of a human being’s life. This is particularly evident in the start of the movie, when the governor is shown speaking to supporters and ordering the death of Mathew Poncelet. Although Mathew receives the news of his death, we see him fighting for his life in courts. In the pardon board scene, which is described as being appointees of the governor with enormous power, shown mostly in close up shots, seemed not interested in considering Mathew’s life in anyway; none of the appointees show any gesture or movement towards Mathew, almost as if their decision...

...that, this work will first analyze the historical background and reality context of the composition of each gospel. The author David Black has published over 100 scholarly articles and book reviews in such journals as Novum Testamentum, New Testament Studies, Bible Translator, Journal of Biblical Literature, and many others. He also serves as Professor of New Testament and Greek and the Dr. M. O. Owens Jr. Chair in New Testament Studies at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, North Carolina. SUMMARY The book starts by bringing up a description of the development of the gospels, and a not very known basic historical fact is that the Gospels were written through a not so brief period of time. The “Gospel according to Mathew” was published in 42 AD, and there was a 20-25 years gap between its publication and the publication of “Luke’s Gospel” and “The gospel according to Mark”. And than, another huge gap between the publication of those and finally “The Gospel of John” being published in 96 AD, so there was a 54 years interval between the publication of the 4 Gospels, and that fact shows that sometimes God likes to act in a way that takes time, seems unusual to human eyes, but in the end everything fits and make complete sense, because “The Gospels” are the foundation and most important books on the Bible until today. In the first part Black exposes that the Gospels are the most important part of the written tradition handed on by the twelve apostles by virtue...

...Krystal Collier L27262620 BIBL104 July 1, 2015 New Testament Bible Dictionary Project: Matthew The origin of Mathew was accepted by the early church, it is the first of the four Gospels. Mathew is the author of this book. We know this to be true because Mathew was a tax collector before following Jesus. He speaks of money in forms that appear nowhere else and in ways only someone who dealt with money would speak. Mathew is written in the forms of miracles, he reports many miracles Jesus performed. Mathew is dated as early as AD 60, no later than AD 65. Mathew was intended for everyone but refers to Jewish practices and does not explain, this is taken to mean Jews were the intended audience. Mathew shows that Jesus is the realization of the predictions of the Old Testament. The book of Mathew begins by tracing the genealogical blood line of Jesus to the King of David and to Abraham, the father of all. Mathew gives us his eyewitness account of the coming of Jesus, His crucifixion and His resurrection. Jesus gave his predictions for the end of times when He would return to judge the nations. Barnabas Barnabas was a Levite form the island of Cyprus. He was a cousin of the evangelist Mark. Barnabas supported poorer members of the church by selling his field he acquired after relocating to Jerusalem. His traits gave him leadership and influence. He began a movement towards Christianity in Antioch, from there he sought out Paul at Tarsus. They became associates and started...

...Name Course Institution Date Contrasting aspects in Mathew 5: 20-48 Mathew 5: 20-48 is one of the key sections that introduce the Jesus Sermon on the Mount. In this chapter, Jesus said “it has already been said in the old time and I also say unto you”. This states that Jesus is correcting Pharisees and scribes false interpretations and hence providing the exact meaning that is indicated in the law of the Old Testament. There are two important aspects that are reflected in this chapter, that is • There are cases where Jesus says, “You have already heard and has also been said”. This indicates that he quotes the statement from the law of the Old Testament • There is also another case where he says “i am saying to you”, means that he is telling the people an idea that is consistent with the law of the New Testament. Therefore this acts as a contrast to the new law with direct quotes from the Old Testament. For instance the Old Testament states in Exodus chapter 20: versus 14 “that you shall not engage in adultery”. In the New Testament Jesus provides a strict law that states that whoever looks at a woman for lust he has already committed adultery with her won heart. In this case Jesus uses the law in the Old Testament and defines it again in the New Testament in a stricter approach. Hate your enemies and love your neighbour is also another contrasting part. In Leviticus chapter 19: 18 states that you love your enemies and some other parts of the Old Testament...

...Bought In. Now They Want to Bail Out. Menswear chain Mathews & Co.’s Chief Technology Officer, or CTO, Barry Golding is angling for budget to implement CRM software and has championed the effort for months, touting CRM’s far reaching potential to company department heads but during the project’s latest planning meeting, the executives involved express disappointment when they see that the initiative won’t give them everything on their wish lists. One department head is disappointed that so few of her “must have” items are in Barry's latest plan. Another is sour on the project now that he's discovered he won't get any payback for two years. The CEO, who has given the project his blessing, isn't present to back up Golding, and after the meeting Golding leaves without a sense of what he could have done to keep the department heads on his side. What Went Wrong? Thankfully, Julie, a teammate of Golding’s, brings to light that Barry has fallen victim to the “blue-sky paradox”. The blue-sky paradox, explains Julie, occurs when project leaders, in an effort to “sell” their project for buy-in or budget reasons, asks stakeholders to dream big. In doing so, these project leaders often encourage expectations to be set so high that they can’t be met—setting people up for disappointment. At this point in the project, Golding has essentially shopped around results, which he’s not yet sure the program will be able to deliver on. Mathew & Co.’s CEO has asked him to increase “closet-share”...

...General Strain Theory: Robert Agnew At one point in life, every individual will experience strain. Theorist Robert Agnew tried to explain that when an individual experiences strain, he/she would feel a certain negative emotion or emotions. These negative emotions may lead a person to cope their strain through delinquent behavior. This paper will first summarize a recent crime on the news and it will also address Robert Agnew’s General Strain Theory.
