With his wife, Catherine, he "reached for the worst," rather than cultivate the comfortable middle class.In 1878, by a fortunate inspiration, the name was changed from the "Christian Mission," to "The Salvation Army." Immediately, the movement captured the public imagination. Incorporating paramilitary ranks and uniforms, the movement spread throughout the British Isles. In 1880 the first missionary, George Scott Railton, was sent to New York. With the aid of seven untutored "lassies," The Salvation Army was soon on its way along the East Coast.Work in the West beginsConditions around San Francisco's Barbary Coast begged for a religious revival.

...Abstract Introduction The Salvation Army, an international movement, is an evangelical part of the universal Christian Church. Its message is based on the Bible and its ministry is motivated by the love of God. The mission is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet human needs in His name without discrimination. (The Salvation Army 2003) The Salvation Army is funded by donations and voluntary support. The national headquarters is located in Alexandria, Virginia, while London serves as the site of its international headquarters. It is organized using a military model, following a similar chain of command, including military titles for personnel, local bands, and banners. While these officers are necessary, committed volunteers are also essential to the success of this extensive ministry and its programs. Historical Roots In 1865, the Salvation Army was founded in London by William Booth, an English Methodist minister. First known as the "Christian Mission" to provide social welfare assistance to the residents of urban slums and save them from their sinful lifestyles of prostitution, gambling, and drunkenness, it was renamed in 1878. Military ranks and titles were assigned according to their responsibilities. His wife, Catherine, was co-founder. The "soldiers" preached openly in the streets. They promoted high ideals of service and commitment. Importance of the Salvation Army The Salvation Army is currently active in ninety-eight countries, using...

...seeks to outline what neuroeconomics is and how it has been received by its critics and proponents. It will provide examples that neuroeconomics can shed light on that conventional economics has struggled to explain. This essay will also outline key assumptions in neuroeconomics and how they vary from standard economics. It will address the global financial crisis from a neuroeconomic point of view and finally it will offer real world applications for the insights neuroeconomics offers. Neuroeconomics is the name that has been given to the latest generation of study in the field of economics. The field of economics has seen a number of developments in recent times as scholars have sought to use other disciplines to further illuminate economic theories. Psychology has been tried but over the last decade the focus has shifted to the more scientifically measurable field of neuroscience. The result is a new area of study that seeks to clarify and correct many of the previously unmeasurable assumptions about the way humans make economic decisions. While this new field of neuroeconomics has seen many papers on the topic published, not all scholars agree. Ariel Rubinstein makes an interesting observation. "The rise of neuroeconomics is coming at a point in time when economic theory is not producing any exciting insights." (2008, p.485) Rubinstein critiques the field on several levels and questions what will actually come from this field, before indicating that neuroeconomics may...

As everyone prepared for the common tropical storm they did not realize it was becoming stronger and stronger during September 3rd and 4th. The hurricane increased and made its way through different parts of Florida, and landed on the coast of Texas. It was predicted by a local weatherman that the island of Galveston would suffer a great loss to the large city. This prediction was on the way he observed the rough seas and high waves that became more active by the hour. This weatherman who was known as Dr. Isaac M. Cline took it upon himself, rode out in the danger of the weather to worn people to seek high ground. When the hurricane touched down on the island of Galveston the wind matured to 120 miles per hour, and the sea rose more than 15 feet.

Agape love is not like a brotherly love or a love between a husband and a wife. It is the most self-sacrificing love there is. This type of love is the love that God has for his own children. This type of love was displayed on the cross by Jesus Christ. An example of this is in the Book of John, chapter 3, verse 16 which say that “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that who so ever believes in him shall not parish but have ever lasting life”. This show the level of love that god has for his children, the fact that he sent his son to die for the sins of the world is enough to show that your love is great.

Throughout the incident of Katrina, many organizations have helped contribute and donate their effort for the people of Louisiana and other states that have been affected by Katrina. Although years have passed since Katrina occurred, Red Cross for instance has raised the most for the beneficiary victims of Katrina.

...Revolutions are never easy, not their start, nor their end. It takes strong political will, sacrifice and perseverance to win. Entering a revolution often comes with anger, doubts and fears. Your fears of survival and your doubts of short lived results that could demean your sacrifice, and threaten your security at cellular levels. As a major settler country that faced many social, economic, and political injustices in comparison to their settled French counterparts, Algeria took a stand to end French settlement. This sacrifices however only proved to be have disappointing outcomes leaving the country highly fractured both short term and long term, leading up to the civil war of 1992. I say with great emphasis that it is more difficult to govern a government that is faces post-revolutionary crisis than it is to overthrow an entire establishment. Such is proven in the wake of Algeria's revolution in the 1950s which has left an estimated 700,000 dead, and thousands more scarred physically and psychologically. Both sides of the battle, the Algiers and the French paratroopers, used merciless guerrilla tactics and torture against its own people.[1] Algeria continued however to struggle with civilian casualties. Among those the “Berber people at the hands various factions of insurgents, and was successful for a while”[2]. It is my assertion that decolonization France did not grant formal eminent rule, nor did it administer political order and help cultivate Algeria peacefully as a...

Originally New Orleans was naturally protected by “coastal swamps that helped absorb the energy of storm surges before they reached dry land.” (Stillman 228) At this point Americans were more concerned with the floods that happened annually from the Mississippi River. In the early days, settlers built a mile long levee to block overflows from the mighty Mississippi while landowners constructed their own levees. “In 1879, Congress created the Mississippi River Commission” (Stillman 228) in which they hoped to train the river. Herein lay one of the earliest problems. Congress assigned the Army Corps of Engineers (the “Corps”) to head this newly created commission. The Corps believed they could control Mother Nature however as the video footage from The Lost City of New Orleans: A Case Study proved, “human kind cannot take on Mother Nature”. These engineers did not have the experience however they continued to increase the levees stating this would “confine the rivers for good”. However, “the more the levees constricted the Mississippi, the higher the waters rose”. (Stillman 228) As new plans and projects for the protecting New Orleans from Mississippi floodwaters were enacted, federal government financially backed all of them. The Mississippi River and Tributaries Project was enacted to design levees to protect against an 800 year flood. Controlling the river came with other consequences, it no longer brought natural silt...
