...Studying Religion Darrell Wojnar REL134 September 10, 2014 Bruce Weightman Religion has always been with us. Throughout history, it has expressed the deepest questions human beings can ask, and it has taken a central place in the lives of virtually all civilizations and cultures. As we think all the way back to the dawn of human consciousness, we find religion everywhere we turn. Traditional religion is a system of beliefs that involves worship of a God or gods, prayer, ritual, and a moral code. Monotheism is the common core of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam which is the faith or belief in one God. They are referred to as Abrahamic religions because all three trace their origins to a common prophet, Abraham. As we said earlier, Judaism, Christianity and Islam have much in common, more than they do with other world religions, for instance: Consider themselves “Children of Abraham”, Started in Middle East and spread throughout the world, Weekly community worship in special/sacred buildings (synagogue, church, mosque) Practice fasting at certain special times/seasons of the year, Expect God's future intervention in the world (Messiah; Judgment Day; Universal Redemption) and Some religious/ritual restrictions (foods not to eat, special clothing to wear, times for sex, etc.). Many fields of study look at religion from a variety of perspectives, as Sociology, this is the study of patterns and trends in human societies and cultures. Researchers in this field utilize a number...

...Introduction- Issue, Past campaigns, what campaign I’m doing, provide info on whats going to be in the report the structure, and how ill be providing a creative solution. s Illicit drug use is a major problem in Australian culture as a recent study in 2012 by the United Nations has concluded that Australia has the highest rate of recreational drug users in the world (Toohey,2012). An Illicit drug can be defined as “the non-medical use of a variety of drugs which include: amphetamine- type stimulants, cannabis, cocaine, heroin and other opioids, and MDMA (ecstasy) (Hall W, Ross J, Lynskey M, Law M, Degenhardt L.,2000). Australian Governments on all levels including non-governments have been trying to fight this illicit drug problem for many years with different approaches to the epidemic. This case study will be analysing the illicit drug problem in Australia, trends and closely scrutinizing the effectiveness of the Australian Governments National Drug Campaign 2010-15 (NDC) in reaching its target audience. This case study will then be further comparing other Anti-illicit drug Campaigns worldwide and in the past to the NDC and finally providing a creative solution which may help the NDC, which may help this Social Marketing campaign effectively communicate to its target audience. The National Drug Strategy 2010-2015 is a social marketing campaign which is aimed at improving the health, economic and social outcomes for Australians by preventing the uptake of harmful drug...

...I read things more closely now and always try to analyze them. When I read He’s a Stud, She’s a Slut by Jessica Valenti, I thought it was interesting how I could analyze it and figure what she was saying. In advertisements, magazines, television shows, etc. women are shown as tall, skinny, big boobs, and blonde. This is what girl should supposedly want to look like, but if you don't look like this you aren't good enough. Men don't nearly face as much harshness when it comes to being the ideal man. They are shown as big and strong. In our society there isn't as much criticism towards men as much as women. If a girl sleeps with a lot of men; she is considered a slut, but if a guy sleeps with a lot of girls; he is a stud. Not just our looks are criticized by society now, even our parts are. If a girl gets pregnant; according to today's world it was her fault because she was being a slut. A line from Valenti’s book is “Let’s not judge young women on what their sexual lives are like” (pg.37). One thing I learned from Jessica Valenti's book is that society is never going to be pleased so you should just do what makes you happy. This is...

...Mélanie Urvoy English 102-005 13 February 2012 Research paper A Conflict as a Poker Game In the early twentieth century, women were still dependent on men. It was difficult for a woman to have a job and be financially independent. In addition, at this time, women had to keep their virginity to have a chance to get married. A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams is placed in the picturesque French Quarter in New Orleans. The play starts when Blanche DuBois comes in New Orleans to visit her sister Stella after she lost the family plantation Belle-Reve because of money problems. She then meets her brother-in-law Stanley Kowalski, a World War II veteran. As soon as they meet each other, a mistrustful rivalry starts between them. A Streetcar Named Desire depicts the conflict between two opposing views as a poker game between Blanche and Stanley for control. From the beginning of the play, Williams starts distinguishing Stanley and Blanche by their mentalities. In fact, Blanche has the Old South mentality. She grew up in a plantation where she learnt how to behave as an aristocrat whereas her brother-in-law is an industrial and a Polish immigrant representing the New South. Blanche is described as delicate and fragile whereas Stanley is rude and violent. Blanche lives in a world of illusion. She acts as a queen and wants the men to treat her like it. Unlike Blanche, Stanley lives in a rude world, a world where if a person are strong enough physically and mentally, he...

...Phurnace Software, LLC: According to the business plan set forth in the case, assuming the purported software capabilities were real, I would invest in Phurnace Software due to four primary reasons, including solid market validation, niche market, favorable business model and huge potential market and conservative projection. Solid Market Validation: the market validation included both primary research and secondary data collection. The team conducted several face-to-face interviews with the actual J2EE application users and posted a request to fill out the online survey on more than a dozen Java application related news groups. After the number one pain point and market interest level were determined, the team supported the statements by using numbers, scales, and percentages. In addition, the same market pain conclusion was drawn through a secondary market validation method, an independent study. Strong market validation from a variety of sources presented convincing pain points and interests. Niche Market/Industry: The software, J2Install, enables fast and reliable server deployment while eliminating configuration errors and accelerating the enterprise application development life-cycle. The dominant vendors of J2EE application servers were IBM, BEA Systems and JBoss. J2Install fell in a niche between 2 existing industries, the J2EE management software industry and the installation software industry, which simple deployment and maintenance were not their core...

...Case Study: Opening Your New Dunkin Donuts Locations Lori Guiel MGT330: Management for Organizations Instructor: Lori Buckner March 14, 2016 Dunkin Donuts is one of the most recognizable donut franchises throughout the United States. Hearing the name Dunkin Donuts can instantly bring the thought of delicious donuts to a person’s mind. To be promoted to District Manager for a Dunkin Donuts franchisee is a dream come true! The District Manager position also comes with a lot of responsibility. First and foremost is to uphold the goal of Dunkin Donuts which is to “make and serve the freshest, most delicious coffee and donuts quickly and courteously in modern, well-merchandises stores” (Dunkin Brands, 2014). In order to uphold this goal as District Manager, I must create a job design; determine the correct organizational design for the franchises; have solid recruiting and selection; and last but not least train employees properly and provide supreme performance appraisals. JOB DESIGN Dunkin Donuts, as with any organization, relies heavily on great employees to deliver on the mission and goal of the organization. Job design thus becomes a very integral part of any organization’s success from top to bottom. “The standard approach to job design involves three steps: (a) job analysis, (b) job description, and (c) job specification.” (Baack, Reilly & Minnick, 2014). Job analysis is going to be a key component to making the five new locations successful. Company...

...In the essay “Stephen Cruz” Studs Terkel gives a strong opinion on the American dream. He says, “The American dream, I see now, is governed not by education, opportunity, and hard work, but by power and fear. The higher up you go, the more you have to lose. The dream is not losing.” (Terkel pg. ) This is interesting to me because I have never viewed the American dream with a negative outlook. History classes always put the idea that the American dream was a fantasy of a perfect life. It went along the lines of having a nice house, white picket fence, expensive car, beautiful family, dog… and the list could go on. After reading “Stephen Cruz” I’ve come to recognize the illusion that the American dream has been made out to be. When Studs Terkel...

...y TO: Reed Hastings FROM: RE: How to deal with the challenges brought by the emergence of digital distribution of videos? DATE: Sep 27th, 2013 Considering the changes in the industry of video distribution and inner competiveness of your corporation, I suggest taking some measures to tackle the challenges. Among them, the most important thing is to build Netflix's Eco-System and segment customers to offer them different services. The basic factor contributing to Netflix’s success is highly customized experience based on the strong data collection and analysis system. Thanks to it, Netflix first developed an advanced recommendation engine, making it possible to offer every customer the movies he or she most likely watches. This not only saves customer’s selection cost, making watching movies a more relaxed and convenient experience, but also helps Netflix maintain a good relationship with those movie creators because Netflix can bring some lesser-known movies and even some movies that won’t enter theaters to customers. Besides this, the system could also predict the demand, preference and taste of customers, thus helping managing inventory more effectively with less stocks. The second important factor is the better experience customers can have when they rent movies from Netflix rather than Blockbuster. Monthly subscription without due dates and late fees means more freedom and flexibility, online browse and selection means quantity and variety...

Both had long hair and knew how to play the guitar very well. One day as they were traveling home on the city bus stud saw this weird red pick on the floor. So stud picked it up and it looked like the pick for a guitar. So he decided to keep it. When they got home he decided to practice with it and recognized how much better he was using that chip so they decided to switch off using it. One day at a small gig they had arranged. Stud decided to use the pick and...

Falcon is inbred 4x5 by Northern Dancer, 4x5 by Riverman and 5x5 by Petingo, inbreeding increases the chance of a desired trait being expressed therefore the racing performance success of these stallions will be inherited by Falcon. If she does not race as hoped she still possessed the desired genetics to be crossed with another equally genetically strong stallion. On the purchase of Falcon it must be noted that she is already in foal by Arabian Gleam, winner of 4 Group 2 races beating 12 Group winners and said to be a ‘solid performer’ by his trainer (Hedgeholm Stud, 2014). He is also a Pivotal and Danehill cross which has previously been a very successful nick producing three stakes winners from 25 starters and all three of the horses are Group 1 winners.

...birch plywood. Minimum should be 3/8” for structural integrity. Plywood is sold in 24” x 48” sheets, so ideally we would have to buy 3 sheets for the outer walls. Framing Plywood starts to chip/splinter when cut in small pieces, so it is preferable to use hardwood in the framing. Framing consists of four rectangles with supporting vertical braces. Also, the edges of plywood aren't really aesthetically pleasing. Given the size of the model, the beams and studs should be at least 1/2” inch thick. If we were to choose 3/4” inch stock, the width of each beam can be 1 – 1 ¼ inches (as to scale with real life lumber sizes) Assuming 1 inch width per piece and 3/4” stock: 1” x 36”; Lengthwise beams 1” x 22 1/2”; Vertical beams Assuming that there is a 4 inch gap between each support stud: Rough calculations, will refine when making designs Estimated 6 studs for front wall at 22 1/2” length 1” x 22 1/2” Side wall studs: (4) 1” x 22” lengthwise beams (6 or 8) 1” x 22.5” studs (approx 3 studs per side wall) Total ~(1) 36” x 24” sheet 4” x 36” piece Problem: hardwood isn't sold in 24 x 36 sheets, need to visit store to see actual dimensions Base flooring: (1) 24” x 36” sheet of...

...Well, yes. Like most athletic shoes, they are also made of leather that are treated and polished for a smoother and more flexible surface. Given the rough conditions of the game, they are designed to be absorbent enough for stamping and at the same time, dyeing. Studs found among baseball cleats are manufactured from several materials, including metal, rubber and plastic. In terms of design, a stud is made according to the type surfaces that it will be used on, as well as the level of player's expertise. Adult cleats for example, are typically made from metallic materials to provide additional resilience on the playing field, whereas youth cleats use plastic or rubber for less weight and risk of injury. An example of a good pair of baseball cleats is theAkadema Professional Spikes. It features a full length molded sockliner, which are designed to provide lightweight comfort without sacrificing speed and performance. The Different Types of Baseball...
