...Hoang-Ngan Dang Lame Deer The United States to many people around the world is known for freedom and opportunities. But is that really what was going on when it comes to many groups of people here? After reading Lame Deer, it broaden my view on his life as an Indian living in the U.S. Things were not always easy for him and many Indians around him. Many rights were not given to them on their reservations. Lame Deer experienced many situation that were unfair, because the rights that they all have did not apply to Indians. To many the U.S. was supposed to be a land of freedom to soar and to practice their religion. I argue that Lame Deer experiences with his religion proved that there are no religious freedom, due to the fact that their two...

...were prohibition, Women’s rights, and the elimination of the “lame duck period” in a president’s term. While the 19th and 20th amendments were good examples of government reform in that they improved women’s rights and regulated the end of a president’s term, the 18th amendment went too far and took rights of people away. One of these amendments was the 18th amendment, also known as prohibition. This was the only failed amendment because it took away rights of Americans. The right that was taken away was to drink alcohol. If you made, transported, or sold alcohol, it was punished by jail time or even prison!...

...away from home to start college. This was my time to have fun, to find myself; this was my time to shine. Life, though, seems to have its own set of plans laid out for us; it’s just not what we expect, and when that curve ball gets thrown, well it’s usually a doozy. Life sure laid one on me that January day when everything changed and not in the best possible way. So I was going to be a mom. That word just didn’t fit right; I wasn’t supposed to have kids, plus, I didn’t even want kids. In “Alone on the Hilltop”, John (Fire) Lame Deer, tells us of his rite of passage. He is a sixteen year old Sioux Indian boy confined to a sacred hole dug into the side of a hilltop called a vision pit. He is left alone and scared for four days and nights, with no food or water and only a few small tokens left with him for strength and guidance. Lame Deer has a brightly colored star quilt that his grandmother made, and forty pieces of her own flesh to help him be strong. He also has with him a ceremonial pipe to help ease his fears and communicate with the Waken Tanka or “Great Spirit” in the spirit world. Being alone with only his small tokens, the earth and night sky are all part of the path he must take to find his “calling”, to become a medicine man like his grandfather before him. This is his path to becoming a man. Rites of passage are different for everyone, and although my rite of passage isn’t as elaborate or even as ceremonious, I do relate to Lame Deer. I felt the connection of...

...associate this watch as an extension of his arm. That watch is no longer an impractical piece of jewelry to you, it is ingrained with memories. How would you feel if the only time you can now view that watch is during business hours through thick glass? Allowing museums to possess Native American artifacts infringes on that culture’s right to preserve their heritage. First I will explain who has the right to ownership; second I will analyze what the artifacts in the museum symbolize, and finally assess the extent to which their heritage is being stolen. Ownership can be defined as the legal right to possession. This is not always the person who actually possesses the item, rather the person that should possess the item. In 1990 the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) was passed. The act states: federal agencies and institutions that receive federal funding to return Native American "cultural items" to lineal descendants and culturally affiliated Indian tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations. Cultural items include human remains, funerary objects, sacred objects, and objects of cultural patrimony. (1) Although this act is not easy to enforce, it clearly gives the right of ownership of these items to the Native Americans. Lame Deer’s gun can be described as a “sacred object” and it is justifiable that this item is returned. Regardless that the gun is not his current possession, he has the right of ownership. Keeping items such as Lame Deer’s...

...Fable The Boy Who Cried Wolf The Shepherd's Boy and the Wolf by AEOSOP A Shepherd-boy, who watched over a flock of sheep near a village, amused himself three or four times by crying out, “Help! Wolf!” | | When his neighbors came to help him, he laughed at them for being so gullible. However, one day the wolf did come. The Shepherd-boy, now terrified, shouted: “Please come and help! The Wolf is killing the sheep.” But no one came to help or even paid attention to his cries. The Wolf, having nothing to fear, took his time destroying the whole flock.

...Problem Definition: The Problem in this case is to compare the data provided by Lame Insurance Agency and with data representing the state-wide insurance claims within Kentucky. In addition, we want to know the demographics specific to Lame Insurance Agency and which characteristics make up their individual profile. Research Questions: Are the claims that are reported to Lame Insurance Agency comparable to the statewide average in Kentucky? What are the profile characteristics within Carr Insurance Agency? - Is the average cost of claims the same for all age groups of the Insurance holders? - Is the average cost of claims the same for all ages of the insurance holders’ cars? - Is the average cost of claims the same for all vehicle groups (A,B,C,D)? Conclusion and Recommendation: In conclusion, Lame Insurance Agency’s average cost of collision claims are comparable to the state-wide average. However, it should be noted that the mean for Ms. Carr’s clients was slightly lower than Kentucky’s mean, but the difference proved not to be statistically significant. The mean for the state of Kentucky was $252 and the mean for Ms. Carr’s clients was approximately $231. Concerning the demographics of profile of Carr Insurance Agency, some variables such as age of the car and vehicle group proved to be statistically significant. One notable conclusion I found while running the test is that the cost of the claim significantly decreases as the age of the car increases. For example...

...Part I: Research * Hephaestus, the god of fire, especially the blacksmith's fire, was the patron of all craftsmen, mainly those working with metals. His Greek name came from the word “hearth” and “to kindle”. He was also known as Vulcan by the Romans. He was worshiped primarily in Athens, but also in other manufacturing centers. * Lame God: He was also known as the lame god because he was born weak and crippled. Hera was unsatisfied with the looks of Hephaestus, so she threw him off Mount Olympus and fell for a whole day before landing in the ocean. Hephaestus was then founded by the people of Lemnos where he was raised. * Powers/ Abilities: Like other Olympian Gods, Hephaestus is immortal. He is immune to all known worldly diseases and is safe to any injury. If he is hurt, his godly power would allow him to recover with unexpected speed. He doesn’t look old since maturity and can’t die by any usual means. Hephaestus is a master of weapons creator, inventor, sculptor and artisan. Some of his creations are the chains of Prometheus, armor of Achilles and Talos the imitation man. With help from the Cyclopes, who were his workmen and assistants, he fashioned the thunderbolts for Zeus and his scepter. He made weapons and armor for the other gods and heroes. Hephaestus has surprising abilities which can help him to realize how any object works after studying it and being able to destroy and create the object at anytime. * Family Relationship: Hephaestus was...

...miracles detailed in the Gospel of John. John is considered to be more sectarian and exclusive than the other three gospels. This book was written to convey and convince all those who read it of the Deity of Jesus. The author tells us in John 20, “And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name”. So, it is in this Gospel of John where depictions of extraordinary events that cannot be explained by natural or scientific laws is articulated in written form to beautifully show forth the divine nature of Jesus the Christ. The first sign miracle that John uses takes place at a wedding in Cana. Jesus was attending a wedding along with his disciples and mother. This was possibly a wedding for one of his family members because his mother was overseeing the duties of the caterers. According to John, a problem arose when the party had run out of wine to serve, and Mary the mother of Jesus, came to him for help. At this point, Jesus seemingly reluctantly offered his assistance. Jesus performed the miracle of changing water into wine. This miracle not only showed “Jesus' power over creation”, but his compassion for the seemingly insignificant cares of man. This shows for the deity of Jesus in that only God could will creation to become something else. The next sign miracle given...

The experiment aims to teach students about: Stress and Strain distributions in the walls of a thick cylinder under internal pressure. How to predict the stress and strain in thick cylinder. The use of strain gauges in mechanical design. Shear stress in thick cylinders. The cylinder is made from aluminium alloy in two halves cemented together. One face of the joint has an eccentric shallow groove containing ten strain gauges at carefully determined radii and orientation. These measure radial and hoop strains from which the corresponding stresses are calculated. The groove is completely filled with jointing cement. Additional strain gauges on the inner and outer walls enable the measurement of longitudinal and circumferential strains. A digital display on the front of the apparatus shows the strains measured at each gauge. The cylinder...

...states; Accountability is the guiding principle that defines how we make commitments to one another, how we measure and report our progress; how we interact when things go wrong, and how much ownership we take to get things done... If accountability is not working in your organization, then every effort toward performance improvement will be inefficient and ineffective (Connors). This lax in accountability begins at the top with Bob Watts, the Director of The Sundale Club. Bob Watts is due to retire next year. It is this impending departure from the company that encourages his unwillingness to engage the issue at hand. The issue in question is Ted Ellis’s unwillingness to address an issue causing disruption within the organization. Ted is the Athletic Director, and answers directly to Bob Watts. Bobs accountability detachment gives Ted Ellis the green light to ride roughshod over the subordinate managers. Below then, is an assessment of the existing problems at Sundale. Overall Problems: 1. Lax in organizational accountability a. Due to impending retirement, top management has become a lame duck leader. 2. Fragmented vision a. Sundale has become fragmented in its objectives. Individual department concerns are outweighing the overall vision of the organization. 3. Maverick Management a. Personal agendas are beginning to trump organizational goals. Macro Problems: 1. Membership decline a. The unaddressed issue is causing discomfort with members and staff, causing...

...THE SAVING NAME OF JESUS Presented to For BIBL 364 – Acts By January , 2014 Outline I. Introduction A. What is the focus of Peter’s advanced argument before the Jewish leaders; namely the Sanhedrin, where in Acts 4:12 he unveils the meaning of Psalm 118 to them? B. Peter’s words rebuke the Jewish leaders’ rejection of God’s appointed Messiah as he also cites Ps 118. This is a critical issue for Peter as this relates to the question of the “authority” by which Peter healed a lame man in chapter 3 II. The name of Jesus A. Only one can claim” I am the Way, the Truth and the Life.” His name, is Jesus. 1. Speaking of this verse 12, Allan Boesak observes: “This is the basis of Christian faith and Christian obedience.” Jesus is the cornerstone and foundation upon whom Christian build ((Ephesians 2:20). According to Hugo H. Culpepper “The understanding of the word, "saved", is crucial to the exposition of this verse. 2. Peter finds the foundation for his powerful Biblical argument before the Sanhedrin, in Psalm 118:22. B. The Absoluteness of Christianity. Thomas L. Constable asserts, “salvation" comes through "no one else" but Jesus ("no other name"). III. The Deity of Christ A. Salvation is made possible through Christ because He is God. 1. Christianity became known as the Way (Acts 9:2, 18:25, 19:9, 19:23, 22:4, 24:14, and 24:22). 2. Russell H.

...Acts is believed to be the second part of a two-volume work. The Book of Acts begins with a summary of the previous volume, the Gospel of Luke, and then introduces the second volume. In Acts 1:1-5, Luke describes Jesus' ministry and passion; volume two Acts describes events after Jesus' ascension and the giving of the Holy Spirit. As a literary parallel to Luke-Acts Josephus writes a two-volume work, and introduces the second volume in a similar manner. He states the correct use of somewhat idiosyncratic political titles corroborates the view that the Book of Acts was written by someone historically close to the events narrated, such as Luke was. Lukan authorship of the Book of Acts explains the extensive linguistic agreement between the it and the Gospel of Luke and the details that Luke includes about the church in Antioch, the city from which he hailed. Several secondary sources confirm the Lukan authorship of the Book of Acts. The Muratorian canon states "Moreover the Acts of the Apostles are included in one book. For 'most excellent Theophilus' Luke compiled the individual events that took place in his presence.” The Anti-Marcionite Prologue identifies Luke as the author of a second volume, Acts: "And afterwards the same Luke wrote the Acts of the Apostles." Origen identifies the author of Acts as Luke, the same who wrote the gospel: "Others that it was Luke, he who wrote the gospel and the Acts" (H.E. 6.25.14). Clement of Alexandria accepts Lukan authorship...

...------------------------------------------------- Broiler From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This article is about a type of chicken. For other uses, see Broiler (disambiguation). Broiler | | Distribution | World-wide | Use | meat | Traits | Skin color | Yellow | Classification | Notes | Hybrid varieties, not a breed | Chicken Gallus gallus domesticus | Broiler chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus), or broilers, are a gallinaceous domesticated fowl, bred and raised specifically for meatproduction.[1] They are a hybrid of the egg-laying chicken, both being a subspecies of the red junglefowl (Gallus gallus). Typical broilers have white feathers and yellowish skin. Most commercial broilers reach slaughter-weight at between five to seven weeks of age, although slower growing breeds reach slaughter-weight at approximately 14 weeks of age. Because the meat broilers are this young at slaughter, their behaviour and physiology are that of an immature bird. Due to artificial selection for rapid early growth and the husbandry used to sustain this, broilers are susceptible to several welfare concerns, particularly skeletal malformation and dysfunction, skin and eye lesions, and congestive heart conditions. The breeding stock (broiler-breeders) grow to maturity and beyond but also have welfare issues related to frustration of a high feeding motivation and beak trimming. Broilers are usually grown as mixed-sex flocks in large sheds under intensive conditions, but...

...the undercurrents of thought there are thousands of lenses popping up between us and the world, and that we’re surrounded at all times by what Steven Pinker of Harvard once called ‘pedestrian poetry.’ ” --David Brooks When having a conversation with family, friends, or a colleague, are you aware of what you are saying? Are you aware of the devices that you use to shift the conversation in your favor or even to make your point more relatable? Contrary to popular belief, metaphors are a part of our everyday life; they are ubiquitous. We use them in everyday conversations more often than we may realize. Metaphors are powerful devices; often times we use them subconsciously, but they still manage to deliver the same validity. The aim of this paper is to bring the metaphors in our everyday life to light, by showing their explicit and implicit use in different areas of our daily life. Metaphors go beyond literature and transcend to other realms such as storytelling, spoken art, government, and advertisement. Before examining the everyday life of a metaphor, it is important to present its meaning and history to best explain how it became such an important part of our speech. Aristotle was the first to provide a scholarly treatment of metaphors and gives a detailed definition of the term ‘metaphor.’ He reports that a metaphor ”consists in giving the thing a name that belongs to something else; the transference being either from genius to specie, or from species to genus, or from...
