...mystics. The term iluso was used to say that a person was tricked by the devil. While the term alumbrado was used to describe someone who was an illuminist and a false visionary who did not actually have an experience with the divine spirit. The new terms added were loca, locura, epilepsy, hysteria and melancholia. All of these new terms denoted mental illness that was more related to the body than the internal self. Allumbrado and Iluso were terms that had a more definitive consequence on the mystic’s prosecution, while the new medical terms did not have the same potency on the prosecution of a mystic. In fact Jaffary argues that the additional labels did not lead to more fair trials for mystics because in spite of the new terms the court largely ignored the testimony of defendants, specifically scientific and medical consensus, in favor of preserving social hierarchy. Jaffary shows that the terms allumbrado and iluso had negative connotations when given to a mystic. The term ilusa can refer to a woman who had been passively misled by the devil’s illusions, whereas iludente designates someone who has actively misled others into believing her illusions. However, when the court used the term iluso the court was not indicating passivity. Iluso was used to indicate someone who feigned mystical experiences and alumbrado was used to denote someone who promoted interior religion. Linda Arnold’s reinforces in her review of the book that alumbrado and iluso were used in different ways on...

...“O Brother Where Art Thou” review by Nicholas Drake “O Brother Where Art Thou” is a film, that if you have not yet seen it, you should do so. It takes little to know time to recognize the influence of Homer’s The Odyssey in the film, as it is based off of the epic. Set in rural Mississippi in the 1940’s, we join the story where Ulysses McGill (George Clooney), Pete (John Turturro), and Delmar (Tim Blake Nelson) are escaping prison in a search for a “hidden treasure”. Along their journey, the three cross paths with bank robbers, con artists, a mass baptism, and they almost see their demise. The music used in the film, contributes tremendously to its tone. The use of oldies and bluegrass music makes for a better viewing experience because of the visuals used in the film. Farmlands, cotton fields, dirt roads, and Dapper Dan’s hair pomade along with the music used in the film help create the experience of what life was like in rural Mississippi during the 1940’s. Ulysses McGill, played by George Clooney, acts as an Odysseus like character. Though his performance is not knock-your-socks-off good, Clooney does do the role justice and carries the sarcastic comedy that occurs frequently in the film. Turturro and Nelson’s characters, Pete and Delmar serve as sidekicks to Clooney but contribute to the plot seamlessly. Other characters like Big Dan played by John Goodman and Babyface Nelson played by Michael Baddalucco serve as plot twisters in the film. While their roles do not contribute...

... The Mask, Ace Ventura, Wile E. Coyote, and Captain Jack Sparrow. Bugs Bunny is the most famous of all tricksters still in popularity today. Almost all of his stories he is being chased by the notorious Elmer Fudd. Instead of Bugs always running from his pursuer, he likes to play tricks on him to keep himself from getting caught. Bugs Bunny is very resourceful when it comes to trying to escape. He made the quote "Ehh, what's up doc?" famous. His trickery has made himself possibly the most popular cartoon of all time. Why is Bugs so popular in society? It is because he always wins. Each and every show he outsmarts his competition and tricks them into failure. . In order to understand Bugs Bunny as a trickster, it is important to review the characteristics of a trickster, Bugs Bunny’s attributes, and compare him with an older folktale. The trickster character has defining personal traits. In an analysis of the trickster, Leonard and McClure explain the trickster is known as the ousted person and his activities are looked upon as an outlaw, outrageous, out of bounds, or out of order. The trickster is a deceiver and a trick player mainly for his own benefit. The trickster is lying cheating, tricking, and deceiving in which derives from the trickster being simple and at other times from being a malicious spoiler. The trickster is also a shape shifter; “the trickster can alter his shape or bodily appearance in order to facilitate deception” (Leonard and McClure...

...Dr. David D. Ireland, Phd. “The Kneeling Warrior”. Lake Mary: Charisma, 2013 Introduction The very Son of God spent many entire nights praying in order to fulfill His ministry. It took Him three arduous hours in Gethsemane to find strength to face the Cross. “He offered up both prayers and supplications with loud crying and tears” (Heb. 5:7). We, on the other hand, have mastered the art of one-liners in prayer, and think if we give God a two-hour service once a week we’re fairly spiritual. “Easy does it” might be good advice in a few situations, but for most of life, including prayer, easy doesn’t do it. Anyone long associated with the Church of this century, especially in America, knows that our problems do not result from a lack of information or material strength. If we fail in achieving what God asks from us as we run our race, it will be a failure of heart and spirit. I believe our prayers do more than simply motivate the Father to action. They actually release the power of the Holy Spirit from us to accomplish things in the earth realm. In his book, “The Kneeling Warrior,” Dr. David D. Ireland sheds much light on the importance of persistence in prayer and intercession. He takes the time to help us understand that there is literal power from the Holy Spirit which can be released from us is absolute. The power of God that brings life, healing and wholeness to the earth flows out from us---the Church. Content Summary The Bible talks about being watchful in various...

...Historical and Scientific Perspectives on Homosexuality May 25, 2014 PSY/265 Dr. Matiko Bivins Historical and scientific perspectives on homosexuality may have shaped the way gay indivuals perceive themselves. Some that are homosexual may be confused especially if they have a member of their family that tells them that they are sick and this isn’t how they are supposed to be. Scientific perspectives that people have can be confusing because they might not understand why people see them differently because they have feeling for the same sex. Their feeling of liking or loving the same sex, and seeing someone with the same organs and being stimulated by it. In everyday society homosexuals are starting to accept themselves more and once peoples perspectives around them change it gets more comfortable for them. In ancient Greece, established men formed sexual relationships with adolescent males at about the age when they first grow a beard Raghu’s ,Envied , and Fichner-Rathus,(2005).The main sexual activity was the older male inserted his penis between the younger male thighs until he ejaculates. This isn’t someone coming out that they are gay, for me this is forced by a culture. It is amazing to see how different each religion and culture is Rathus ,Nevid , and Fichner-Rathus,(2005).

...Chapter 5 RESEARCH DESIGN GENERAL CONCEPT MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS 1. General Mills conducted research on a "new, improved" version of their cereal, TRIX. Consumer taste tests showed the new version was preferred over the old TRIX, but the new version was a failure when it was introduced.

This large, multi-vortex tornado was captured on several TV tower cameras from stations such as Birmingham's Fox affiliate WBRC (channel 6) and ABC affiliate WBMA-LD/WCFT/WJSU (channels 58, 33 and 40). The tornado caused extensive destruction in downtown Cullman, a city of about 20,000 people; the tornado has been rated an EF4.[36] The final damage count was 867 residences and 94 businesses in Cullman.[37] At 4:00 p.m. CDT a tornado struck Lawrence County, Alabama, causing severe damage and killing a couple dozen people. At around 5:10 p.m. CDT (2210 UTC), a very large and exceptionally destructive tornado struck Tuscaloosa, Alabama.[38] About 40 minutes later, the same tornado struck the northern suburbs of Birmingham. A tornado emergency was issued for both cities, and many other tornado emergencies were issued that day. Many local TV stations, including WBRC and WBMA-LD/WCFT/WJSU, as well as CBS affiliate WIAT (channel 42), captured footage of this long-track tornado in both Tuscaloosa and Birmingham. A debris ball was observed by the Birmingham NEXRAD,[39] indicating that the tornado was causing extreme damage. Photos from the damage path showed total devastation. The path of this tornado struck the same small communities as the F4 storm on April 1956 Birmingham tornado, and the F5 storms on April 1977 Birmingham tornado and April 1998 Birmingham tornado.

...Name: Brigitte M. Jones__________ Date:_11/23/08_______________________ Persuasive Speech Outline: Topic/Title: _ Illegal Immigration Introduction: Purpose: To persuade the audience about illegal immigration. Specific Purpose: To persuade the audience about illegal immigrants wanting to better themselves and make a future for their families. Attention getter: Over the years, a dispute has arisen over the issue of illegal immigration in the United States. Although there had been an open door policy on immigration for many years before, today individuals have a different perspective on the situation. Preview statement: While the differences in the contradictory and racist immigration laws are relevant, individuals should understand that “illegal immigrants” only desire to provide for their families, as well as, give their children a future, something that is economically impossible elsewhere, specifically Mexico. Body: I. Main point #1: Many individuals would agree that racism should be prohibited. It is negative approach that only results in more controversy. The United States immigration laws are inconsistent and racist. Does that mean they should be forbidden? A. Support for #1: “The United States was created as a nation of immigrants who left Europe for political, religious, and economic reasons” (Katel 404). They wanted to better their lives in order to have hope for a future. An example of the inconsistency “[i]n the 19th century, thousands of were antisuch Chinese...

...Lyn Bell Dr. John Warren Spiritual Warfare Slaying the Giants in Your Life What are the giants in your life? David Jeremiah reminds us that we have giants in our lives like David, Moses, Abraham and others. The giants in our lives have different names of fear, loneliness, doubt, discouragement, failure, jealousy, worry, anger, guilt, and procrastination. Just like the biblical ancients overcame their giants, we too must overcome our giants. In doing so we must allow God to help us in the process in knowing that He is with us and will empower us in overcoming. Fear Fear is a major problem in the land of the giants. This giant comes in so many forms. Fear has gripped us all at some point in our lives. Thousands are affected daily in some type of fear or another. But fear is a common part of the fabric of living. Fear gives us burst of strength and speed when we need and is a good thing in a survival instinct situation. When fear becomes negative it then becomes a phobia. This is when fear and reason does match up. When fear becomes ill rational, it becomes a shackle that bind us and put us into bondage. This bondage will keep us from the routine things in life of working, playing, living and serving God. There are so many varieties of fears. This is a listing of six general categories that we face in fear: poverty, criticism, loss of love, illness, old age and death. When we read the bible we can see that those living in biblical times often were...

...5 Things You Didn’t Know About Working In A Restaurant We have all dined in a restaurant in some point in time. Whether it be McDonald’s, Burger King, or Wendy’s. Hell, some of us might have had the balls to go to Hell’s Kitchen! But here’s a few facts that I’ve been through that might make you reconsider restaurants… Five things you might not know about restaurants… 1. Managing a Restaurant takes up all of your time When you decide to manage a restaurant, it’s worse than having a newborn child. You see, just like a child, it eats, breathes, shits, and cause havoc in your life. And just like a newborn child, it requires your constant attention. And like said new life in this world, you are ultimately responsible. It’s your day off? Fuck you! Somebody failed to show up for an important shift. You have a catering order to go out? You have to be there for it. You watch and plan everyday for as long as you’re in charge. Corporate makes you hire a new manager? Now you’re fucked. Not only are you responsible for making sure that they learn all the systems and procedures, you HAVE to let them fail so they can learn, only to clean up their mess. And as a training manager, you have the added cost of their labor on your books. Thank you powers that be! Let me hold some idiots’ hand and walk them through how to be a retard on my dime. Don’t get me wrong, we all need to learn and grow, but corporate doesn’t have to babysit. Speaking of babysitting… 2. The staff can be your worst...

...British Lit / Test Two Review Essay Questions 1. The genre of “The Fairie Queen” is a romantic epic. Epic poetry is the highest form of poetry; long and episodic. It is a narrative that contains many adventures, a central character, journey to hell, gods and goddesses, and it starts in the middle (in medias res). The Fairie Queen is allegorical of the Protestant Reformation. It contains many biblical allusions supporting the Protestant faith and criticizing Catholicism. It is written in Spenserian stanza, stanzas of nine iambic lines; the first eight are pentameters and the ninth is hexameter with the rhyme scheme ababbcbcc. 2. The term Renaissance translates into “rebirth”. This was a great revival of art, literature, and learning in Europe; marking the transition from the medieval to the modern world. The Renaissance began in Europe around 1390; this was around the same time of the Canterbury Tales. The Renaissance did not begin in England until1485. It was so late coming to England because of the civil war due to the “power struggle” between the House of York and the House of Lancaster. This Civil War was called the War of the Roses. The two houses fought until they killed each other off and in 1485, King Henry took crown and this was the beginning of the Tudor Dynasty. England finally had a level of peace allowing its people to acknowledge and then take part in this renewal of life, vigor, and interest. 3. The difference in doctrine between Protestantism...

...Strategy Implementation: An Alternative Choice of 8S’S STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION: AN ALTERNATIVE CHOICE OF 8S’S Omar Khalid Bhatti Research Scholar International Islamic University, Malaysia “Execution, not strategy, offers an exclusive competitive advantage.” (Lippitt, 2007) INTRODUCTION Strategic implementation is an elemental step in revolving a company's vision and objectives into reality. To implement strategies successfully is critical for not only public but also for private organizations. Without proper implementation, even the most superior and fine strategy would not make the grade as established. In last few decades, a number of articles have been published to understand the significance of strategy implementation. Presenting not only models for better execution of strategies, as well highlighting factors that affect effective strategy implementation. As Aaltonen and Ikävalko (2002) and Zagotta and Robinson (2002) advocate that real value of strategy can only be recognized and accepted through execution. Hrebiniak (2006) also supports the opinion that without effective implementation of strategies no business strategy can succeed. According to Kaplan and Norton (2008) managers have always found it difficult to balance their near-term operational concerns with long-term strategic precedence. They further maintain that such pressure comes with the job and is an intrinsic tension that managers cannot avoid, yet must be addressed on a continuous...
