...History of the Olive The Olive in California Mythology The olive was native to Asia Minor and spread from Iran, Syria and Palestine to the rest of the Mediterranean basin 6,000 years ago. It is among the oldest known cultivated trees in the world - being grown before the written language was invented. It was being grown on Crete by 3,000 BC and may have been the source of the wealth of the Minoan kingdom. The Phoenicians spread the olive to the Mediterranean shores of Africa and Southern Europe. Olives have been found in Egyptian tombs from 2,000 years BC. The olive culture was spread to the early Greeks then Romans. As the Romans extended their domain they brought the olive with them. 1,400 years ago the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad, advised his followers to apply olive oil to their bodies, and himself used oil on his head. The use of oil is found in many religions and cultures. It has been used during special ceremonies as well as a general health measure. During baptism in the Christian church, holy oil, which is often olive oil, may be used for anointment. At the Christmas mass, olive oil blessed by the bishop, "chrism", is used in the ceremony. Like the grape, the Christian missionaries brought the olive tree with them to California for food but also for ceremonial use. Olive oil was used to anoint the early kings of the Greeks and Jews. The Greeks anointed winning athletes. Olive oil has also been used to anoint the dead in many cultures. The olive trees on the Mount...

...different opinions on what this book represents. We often find ourselves getting very frustrated when trying to figure out what this book is trying to tell us. One thing that most can agree on is that we know for sure is that this book is the final chapter in God’s plan for the human race. We can spend all day trying to figure out what these different things mean but the bottom line is, it doesn’t matter what we think and what we believe is going to happen. God is in control and God’s plan will be fulfilled regardless of what anybody thinks or believes might or might not happen. So how do we go about interpreting and understanding the book of Revelation? Dr. Cornelius Venema, president and professor of doctoral studies at Mid-America Reformed Seminary and associate pastor of Redeemer United Reformed church in Dryer, Indiana published in his article in the Table Talk magazine, dated January 1, 2012. In this article he gives us a five examples on how we can approach and understand the book of Revelation. The first approach he calls the Futurist Approach. The futurist approach to the book of Revelation regards the visions of chapters 4–22 as referring to events that lie in the future. These events will occur immediately prior to Christ’s second coming and at the end of history. He goes on to say that many, though not all,...

...and practices is one of the most intriguing yet controversial religions known today. Worldwide, Muslims make up about 23.4 percent of the population, while Christianity makes up about 30 percent (Goodstein, 2011). A study published in 2009 by the Pew Research Center to get global concept of the Muslim population found, “Of the 232 countries and territories included in this study, 50 are Muslim-majority” (p. 5). The Center also found “While 80% of the world’s Muslims live in countries where Muslims are in the majority, significant numbers – about one-fifth of the world’s Muslim population – live as religious minorities in their home countries” (p. 7). With so many countries adhering to Islam and the growth of the Muslim population here in America and worldwide; how will this affect how non-Islamic countries communicate and interact with Islamic countries and how we communicate right here in the United States? If Muslim fundamentalists were not at the forefront of controversy in the war on terrorism, would Islam be a religion that sparks so much debate? Even before September 11th, there had been much controversy related to Islam. However most of it occurred on foreign soil. With significant bombings and terrorist attacks in Europe, the Middle East and Asia, many Americans were more fearful of travelling abroad, not realizing that such an attack could occur right here at home. Unfortunately it happened; and when it did, due to human nature, we have a propensity to over-generalize...

...PA R T B go online Go online to to find more case studies. CASE STUDY B Crisis management in international markets: ‘least said, soonest mended?’ John Knight, Department of Marketing, University of Otago and Bradley Mitchell, Inveratek Group Ltd 347 BACKGROUND An inevitable reality of doing business in the modern world is that crises recognise no boundaries (Fink 1986). A crisis management strategy needs to be part of the overall corporate strategy of any company operating internationally. Our chaotic times have led to some spectacular commercial crises. Sometimes these have been of companies’ own making through carelessness. A well-known example is the action of McDonald’s in promoting its sponsorship of the 1994 football World Cup by printing the flags of all competing nations on disposable packaging: the name of Allah is on the Saudi flag, and deep offence was caused by the fact that this was to be thrown away with the packaging (Starrett 1995). At other times crises have been caused by events completely outside of the control of the company. Examples of the latter include the deliberate product tampering of Tylenol products, leading to deaths by poisoning in the USA, and the massive product recall of Coca-Cola products in Belgium resulting from what appears to be a case of mass hysteria (Johnson and Peppas 2003). Furthermore, companies in the midst of a crisis may not be able to control the behaviour of others, but with proper planning and management the...

...Exploring the World of Pedophilia Abnormal Psychology 201 Abstract In recent years religious groups, policymakers and psychologist have debated information regarding the psychosexual disorder called Pedophilia. Most people agree that this disorder deserves attention, and there are very negative stigmas associated. California Congresswoman Jackie Speier, Democrat, wants to federalize a state law to protect pedophiles. In October 2013, the top cleric in Poland’s Roman Catholic Church said parents share blame for certain cases of pedophilia. Recently, Iranian legislature approved a law that will allow girls under the age of 13 to marry as long as the permission of her father is granted. This research paper will examine the historical, cultural, and psychological information regarding pedophilia and how this disorder is viewed in a modern society. This research paper will also examine the prevalence, causes, and treatment of this disorder. Exploring the World of Pedophilia Pedophilia, also spelled paedophilia, psychosexual disorder in which an adult has sexual fantasies about or engages in sexual acts with a prepubescent child of the same or opposite sex. (Britannica, 2013) The American Psychiatric Association has included Pedophilia in its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders since 1968. (Blachard, 2010) This research paper will explore the historical, cultural, and psychological information related to the disorder of pedophilia. Researching...

...DEATH PENALTY Justin Robinson Global Issues Savannah State University ABSTRACT My topic of discussion will be about death penalty in Iran and Saudi Arabia. Death Penalty is capital punishment where a person is put to death by the state as a punishment for a crime. This topic was one the first global issues we discussed in class and in my paper I will explain how the penalty has affected the civilizations and the countries as a whole; this will include the civilians, lifestyles, and how they react to the punishments. I chose this topic because it has always caught my attention and I believe that my essay will be efficient if I discuss this issue. My references will come from the Book, GlobalIssues.Org, and NCBI.Gov. Keywords: Life, Government, Change DEATH PENALTY The death penalty/capital punishment is when the government or a state punish someone for a murder or any other capital crime. Many states/ countries have different executions for capital crimes anyone commits. This includes hanging, lethal injections, poison gas, decapitation of the head etc. The first death sentence historically recorded occurred in 16th century B.C Egypt where the wrongdoer, a member of nobility, was accused of magic, and ordered to take his own life (History of the Death Penalty, paragraph 1). IRAN Iran is a country that practices the death penalty to the full extent; with such a heinous system of capital punishment, crime is one obstacle that...

...conferences pertaining to this issue. Shakira Scott Dr. Selitto Research Paper ISIS Terror Islamic State of Iraq and Syria is a blood thirsty group committed to terror. “ISIS” gained a significant presence. “ISIS” is under the leadership of Abu Bakr al-Baghdad. A relatively unknown and enigmatic figure. Abu Bakr al-Baghdad was born in 1971 in Samarra. He was not raised by a wealthy family but was well-mannered. Growing up, his childhood was mainly spent attending religious courses. Like the rest of his family, Al-Baghdadi’s was a devout Muslim, and faith played a big part in his early life. Al-Baghdadi studied the Koran at Samarra mosques and took courses in Islamic science and the Hadith—the traditions, deeds and sayings of the Prophet Muhammad. Little is known about al-Baghdadi’s personal life, except that he is ruthless in his dealings. There are only two authenticated photos that exist of Baghdadi. Much of what is known of Baghdadi’s history is unconfirmed, while other information is disputed to such a degree that it is nearly impossible to discern where fact meets Baghdadi’s rising myth. Most...

...ISLAM Islam. Misunderstood by generations of people, characterized as the religion of terrorists and extremists, and feared for its massive growth, nothing could be further from the truth. These misconceptions are easy, too. Popular media, the actions of an express few and poor education have all lead to a sphere of ignorance concerning this peaceful path to God. Growing up in a Christian family, and following the mainstream media, it is easy to see how something such as Islam could be vilified, and very few, if any, questions asked about it. This is what helps to grow the ignorance concerning Islam and how misperceptions continue to be propagated. To be fair, it is easy to see how some of the misperceptions came about - fanatical devotees who spend more time in prayer than others, a single minded devotion to their religion and Mohammad (peace be upon him), and the constant struggle in Middle East all paint a picture that does not do Islam or it adherent’s justice. In fact, they barely scratch the surface of what Islam is all about, and what little truth does come out cannot overcome the negative stereotypes that have been ingrained in the larger population. So, was I affected by these misperceptions? The answer, unfortunately, is a resounding yes. As a member of society I too was easily drawn into the web of negativity that surrounds Islam. I didn’t credit it with any positive accomplishments, nor did I grant it any legitimacy as a religion, mostly based on the actions...

...the issue. For others, the standards themselves are the problem. Many simply see them as part of a troubling wave of change around the direction of education policy in the United States in general. Common Core defenders, however, say the standards are powerful and much-needed as a way to help students compete in a global economy. I myself have found been seen in the camp of having problems with these unattainable standards. Today students across the country oppose the implementation of Common Core, they fight it at every turn, for they see their education being controlled by a “Corporate” Policy maker. I find myself just barely dodging this bullet, that is Common Core, like an action star the bullet just grazes my shoulder, inflicting minor damage. While others behind me take the bullet in the gut, Common Core is killing our youth, by forcing them to live up to these ridiculous standards. It forces students to work only to obtain, what some inflated jarhead thinks is considered “Proficient”. I remember in 5th grade I had to take some national Cogat Test. I had the vaguest of an idea to why I was taking this test, all my teacher would say is because I was required to take it. Well I did so poorly on the test, my teacher, principal, and social worker all sat down and asked why I was doing quote “such a poor job”. I had no idea what I did wrong back then, I thought I was stupid for not doing good, that because I wasn’t Proficient enough that I was a failure and let down my teacher...
