... In the New Testament, the Last Supper refers to the last meal that Jesus shared with his disciples on the night of his betrayal. This last meal mentioned in different terms in different texts. These terms include the Lord's Supper, Eucharist, communion and mass. The last supper serves as an encouragement and a unifying factor to Christians. It binds them in fellowship of love, trust and mutual acceptance. Sharing of the last supper is one of the orders that Jesus gave to his church. It is ideally Christian’s remembrance of Jesus, acknowledgement of his presence, confident hope in his second coming, fellowship with him and his people, self-examination, thanksgiving and gratitude. 1This paper explores the last supper event as presented by the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and 1st Corinthians. Historical Background of the Last Supper The last supper concept dates back to the early times in the Old Testament where Jews used to celebrate the Passover. The Passover ritual entailed an opening course where the paterfamilias spoke a blessing over the first cup of wine. The preliminary dish comprised green herbs, bitter herbs and a sauce made of fruit puree placed over a table also containing a bowl of salt and water to remind the partakers of the tears they shed while they were in slavery in the land of Egypt. Then the meal would be served but not yet taken...

...Keke Weathers Dr.Sarthou Composition II November 6, 2015 Emotions, Emotions, Emotions When you w3ake up in the morning, what are some of the things you do before heading out of the door? Most people look at the weather before they leave home .The weather sets the mood for the day. It determines what a person is going to wear and even a person’s attitude for the day. For example, if it is fall time and rainy out, a person might wear rain boots and a sweater. Now think of the colors of fall; orange, brown, yellow and red, and the colors of the leaves. The color brown can make one feel cozy, snug, and safe. Orange is associated with stimulation, warmth, and happiness. Thanksgiving is during the fall season and it is a time to stuff your face, to be surrounded by family, and to be thankful. And these colors help to set the vibe. Everyone is cheerful , full of laughter, and hungry. These feelings are asscosiated with the color yellow. Red symbolizes love and life and is mainly what people are thankful for on thanksgiving. Now back to the wet and slippery situation. When it is dark and stormy outside people tend to feel drowsy, sleepy, or even sad. Spring time gets the most rain typically in the western hemisphere. Spring time is one of the most crucial seasons for suicide. In the U.S. at least 30,000 people commit suicide each year. The suicide rates worldwide outweigh deaths involving accidents and homocides combined. IT is a popular belief that suicided rates peak during the...

...Running Head: NOTES 1 LIBERTY UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF EDUCATION FAITH, FREEDOM, AND PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES Session 1 Notes Legally Supported Abington School District v. Schempp Many people think this is the case that the Bible had been thrown out of public schools, but it was really the type of Bible reading that had been thrown out of Schools. There was a PA law that said, “At least ten verses from the Holy Bible shall be read, without comment, at the opening of each public school on each school day. Any child shall be excused from such Bible reading, or attending such Bible reading, upon the written request of his parent or guardian.” Edward Schempp challenged this law saying that the state should not be making Bible reading mandatory. The Supreme Court favored Schempp and declared “this type” of Bible reading in the public schools to be unconstitutional. They did however say, “It certainly may be said that the Bible is worthy of study for its literary and historic qualities.” Florey v. Sioux Falls School District This federal case dealt with Religious Holidays. The Sioux Falls school policy read, “Music, art, literature, and drama having religious themes or basis are permitted as part of the curriculum for school sponsored activities and programs if presented in a prudent and objective manner and as a traditional part of the cultural and religious heritage of the particular holiday.” ...

...I recently moved to my new home and most of the wine and liquor is kept in the basement in the “bar” area. However given that I spend most of my time on the main floor of the house, I was looking for an item to store some wine and liquor that can easily be accessible without walking up and down the stairs. Therefore over the weekend I entered in the retail store Bed Bath & Beyond (BB&B) in search for a wine bar. BB&B is a chain of domestic merchandise retail stores across the US, Puerto Rico, Canada and even New Zealand. They primarily sell goods for the bedroom and bathroom but have expanded to the kitchen, dining room and seasonal items as well. Since its main competitor Linens ‘n Things liquidated, BB&B has few remaining retail competitors that include Wal-Mart, Target and of the smaller variety, Pier 1 Imports. Companies like Crate & Barrel and Williams Sonoma are also considered competitors but are more specialized and upscale than the merchandise sold at BB&B. After leaving the store with the wine bar that I was looking for and some observation of the store and its surrounds, I was able to reflect on what I noticed from an environments perspective. The first thing that is noticeable is how the store predominantly places its seasonal items, in this case Thanksgiving, right at the front entrance. Another very noticeable and convenient thing is how the products in the store are laid out. The products and sections flow very nicely from kitchen to dining...

...Have you ever met someone and felt instantly connected? What about an entire group of people? I have. I went into this assignment thinking no big deal, ill eat some tacos, write a paper and if anything I got some good food out of it. But I got more than that. I got a new found respect for a new culture and a group of friends that I never would have met otherwise. For my observation I went to Pablo’s Tacos in the town of Blue Island, IL. It is a small town rite over the boarder of Chicago. It is a small Mexican restaurant on Western Ave. It is family owned and unless you asked you might not even know they have a sit down area because it is hidden. My first trip there was supposed to be pure observation I didn’t want to interact much just observe and eat. My friend and I have been at a Cheerleading Competition all morning down the street at the high school. We sat down and began to order when one of the cheerleaders walked in with her family. I coached her the year before and she was very excited to see me outside a cheerleading setting. She ran up and yelled “Coach” The owner congratulated her on doing so well at the competition and gave her a cookie. She sat with us and talked and talked about how this season had gone. We ordered our food and when it came out it was double what I had expected. When we joked about it with the waitress (the owners wife) She told me “we take care of our own.” She thanked me for coaching her granddaughter and said that she really had...

...Many people believe that Salespeople have bad influence, negative, very pushy and people should avoid them. However, Jim Barksdale on his quotes state, “Nothing happens until something is sold”. Many companies need that there product to be sold and without a salesperson the companies would be out of business. Being a salesperson is very changeable and unique. Not everyone can be a salesperson. At first, it looks an easy job, buts it is very demanding and needs courage and determination. A successful salesperson is the one who is confident, love selling, and exciting. Steve W. Martin reporter of Harvard Business did a research about Salespeople be born as a natural instinct or they can learn. “Based upon my research, experience, and observations, I estimate over 70 percent of top salespeople are born with “natural” instincts that play a critical role in determining their sales success. Conversely, less than 30 percent of top salespeople are self-made — meaning, they have had to learn how to become top salespeople without the benefit of these natural abilities. In addition, for every 100 people who enter sales without natural sales traits, 40 percent will fail or quit, 40 percent will perform at near average, and only 20 percent will be above average”(https://hbr.org/2011/08/are-top-salespeople-born-or-made). These results are pretty clear, and I believe that having a professional like salespeople its not meant for everyone, you need to have some natural instincts to recognize...

...Grant Still MGMT 320 Section C November 18, 2014 Consumerism: Gotta Buy ‘Em All It is the day after Thanksgiving, known colloquially to Americans as “Black Friday”. Hundreds of thousands of shoppers line up outside of department stores, anxiously waiting to get their hands on the latest of gadgets and gizmos to purchase for families, friends, and loved ones for the holiday season. Many of the retailers in America have offered attractive promotional sales on this day to attract high traffic and volume in their stores. Realizing this, consumers in America who take a part in Black Friday see this as a fight to the death. This “fight to the death” literally came true in the year 2013, as one death and fifteen injuries resulted from the madness of the shopping event, according to BlackFridayDeathCount.com. On the flip side for businesses, Americans spent an average of $407.02 from the Thursday through Sunday that bookends Black Friday, as stated by the National Retail Federation. This topsy-turvy day recognized by a vast majority of American culture has been seen by many as the yearly peak of the country’s ever-increasing trend towards consumerism. Consumerism, the belief that goods give meaning to individuals and their roles in society, has presented itself to Americans in both a positive and negative spirit. On the one hand, consumer spending drives the economy, gives consumers a vast myriad of retailers to choose from, and renders shopping as a social experience. ...

...paste my paper. This was a TEAM assignment. Organizational Culture: Macy’s Team Member: A, B, & C PSY/450 June 8, 2015 Dr. Rachael Dilts Organizational Culture: Macy’s Organizational culture is defined as an organization’s values, behaviors, expectations, experiences, and philosophy. The main idea of organizational culture is what behavior and values contribute to the organization’s social and psychological environment. Organizational culture is also known as corporate culture and is shown by how the organization treats its employees, customers, and the community. It also is shown through the way the company conducts business. Organizational culture success can be measured by a company’s productivity and performance. Successful organizational culture provides guidelines for service, product quality, and safety. Success can also be seen through attendance and punctuality of employees. Every organization has a unique culture, and if that culture is not successful, it is hard to change ("Organizational Culture", 2015). Macy’s: The Company Macy’s was founded by Rowland Hussey Macy in 1859 and was nothing but a single dry goods store in New York City. Over the years, Macy’s has grown to be one of the nation’s top retailers in fashion and affordable luxury. Macy’s attributes its success to its employees. Macy’s has many successes including; being the first retail store to promote a female into an executive position and starting the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade...

Mary loves to talk, so I had to cut down her answers quite a bit for the interview answers, but kept the most important parts. This paper will be covering the most notable aspects of this interview and some things that I have learned from the interview. When I arrived at her home, she invited me inside. Her home was very warm and welcoming. Her home was very nice, clean and decorative for Thanksgiving. I also took a look at her garden, where she has a very great collection of flowers and in another area, she has her fruit trees and vegetables, I have not seen her garden for a while. I was surprised on how big it had got since last time I visited. She loves to be in her garden. We joked around for a bit after I arrived and we sat down in the cute little gazebo in the garden. She brought out some lemonade (she remembered my favorite drink). Mary was very happy on this day. As we spoke about her activities that she does on a daily basis, I was surprised at what activities she does. I thought to myself that I was surprised because I just do not think of senior citizens to be that active as she was. Then I looked in the text and I saw ageism.

Ever since my junior year in high school I have been very interested in what crime scene investigators do. Inspired by the forensics class I took I learned that although their job takes a lot of patience and thinking, it would seem like the perfect job for me. Not knowing everything about this area, entering college allowed me to broaden my horizons. My major was Forensic Science but is now and remains Criminal Justice as I decided to branch out with a minor in Computer Forensics. Continuing to get more familiar with my minor I learned that within forensics there are technicians that work specifically with guns. This area is called ballistics; the scientific study of the characteristics of projectiles, such as bullets or missiles, and the way they move in flight. (Dictionary.com, 2012) Needless to say I had absolutely no idea of the specifics of a Forensic Ballistics Expert. After doing some research I have found significant information such as the qualifications, their salary, examples of the progression within the system and etc. The basic qualifications would be outstanding observation and...
