...Dare To Believe, Then Command “Verily, verily, I say unto you; He that believeth on Me, the works that I do shall he do also: and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto My Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in My name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in My name, I will do it.” John 14:12-14. Jesus is speaking here, and the Spirit of God can take these words of His and make them real to us. “He that believeth on Me… greater works than these shall he do.” What a word! Is it true? If you want the truth, where will you get it? “Thy word is truth,” Christ said to the Father. When you take up God’s Word you get the truth. God is not the author of confusion or error, but He sends forth His light and truth to lead us into His holy habitation, where we receive a revelation of the truth like unto the noon day in all its clearness. The Word of God works effectually in us as we believe it. It changes us and brings us into new fellowship with the Father, with the Son, and with the Holy Spirit, into a holy communion, into an unwavering faith, into a mighty assurance, and it will make us partakers of the very nature and likeness of God as we receive His great and exceeding precious promises and believe them. Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. Faith is the operative power. We read that Christ opened the understanding of His disciples, and He will open up our understanding and our hearts and will...

...During the 1980’s the war on drugs hit hard on the United States. The D.A.R.E program which stands for Drug Abuse Resistance Education was established to instill the proper tools of living a substance free life and not caving in to peer pressure which many children are faced with. The D.A.R.E program was significant in building social skills and boosting the self-esteem of schoolchildren. D.A.R.E was established in 1983 as a collaborative venture between the Los Angeles Police Department and the Los Angeles School District. During 1996, U.S. Congress approved the Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act to endorse drug abuse training and prevention programs. Approximately 75% of school districts were utilizing the programs as well as 43 countries worldwide had also employed the D.A.R.E program. According to Rosie Cima (2015), D.A.R.E was originally intended for elementary school students, especially those entering the fifth and sixth grade. Eventually, it was integrated into the junior high schools as well as high schools. The D.A.R.E program was dedicated on reinforcing the ability teens and children had in challenging the urge to participate in substance abuse due to experimentation or peer pressure. According to Donna S. Kochis (1995), there was controversy brewing amongst scientific research and the D.A.R.E. program. The D.A.R.E program was doing everything possible to openly combat and divert the scientific cynics, they also attempted to hush opponents...

... Why is the media here so negative? Why are we in India so embarrassed to recognize our own strengths, our achievements? We are such a Great NATION. We have so many amazing success stories but we refuse to acknowledge them. Why? We are the first in milk production. We are number one in Remote sensing satellites. We are the second largest producer of wheat. We are the second largest producer of rice. Look at Dr. Sudarshan , he has transferred the tribal village into a self-sustaining, self-driving unit.. There are millions of such achievements but our media is only obsessed in the bad news and failures and disasters. I was in Tel Aviv once and I was reading the Israeli newspaper. It was the day after a lot of attacks and bombardments and deaths had taken place. The Hamas had struck. But the front page of the newspaper had the picture of a Jewish gentleman who in five years had transformed his desert into an orchid and a granary. It was this inspiring picture that everyone woke up to. The gory details of killings, bombardments, deaths, were inside in the newspaper, buried among other news. In India we only read about death, sickness, terrorism, crime. Why are we so NEGATIVE? Another question: Why are we, as a nation so obsessed with foreign things? We want foreign T.Vs, We want foreign shirts. We want foreign technology. Why this obsession with everything imported. Do we not realize that self-respect comes with self-reliance...

...skies. Burnt the fire of thine eyes? On what wings dare he aspire? What the hand, dare seize the fire? And what shoulder, & what art, Could twist the sinews of thy heart? And when thy heart began to beat, What dread hand? & what dread feet? What the hammer? what the chain, In what furnace was thy brain? What the anvil? what dread grasp, Dare its deadly terrors clasp! When the stars threw down their spears And water'd heaven with their tears: Did he smile his work to see? Did he who made the Lamb make thee? Tyger Tyger burning bright, In the forests of the night: What immortal hand or eye, Dare frame thy fearful symmetry? William Blake’s poem The Tyger uses the sound devices of rhyme and meter in the poem. This is a useful tool when writing a poem because it causes the reader to pay more attention to the poem. This is true because if a poet establishes a definite rhyme pattern and we become accustomed to it, then it is perhaps confusing when the rhyme pattern breaks down. This causes us to pay more attention to what has been written in the poem. The poet relies on our ear to alert us to the change in the pattern. When a poet changes the rhyme scheme we get caught flat-footed which causes us to pay extra attention to the poem. This is especially true in the case of the poem The Tyger. In the poem William uses the tool of sound to cause the reader to listen more tentatively. An example of this can be found in the first few lines where he writes “Tyger...

...The poem begins with the speaker asking a fearsome tiger what kind of divine being could have created it: “What immortal hand or eye/ Could frame they fearful symmetry?” Each subsequent stanza contains further questions, all of which refine this first one. From what part of the cosmos could the tiger’s fiery eyes have come, and who would have dared to handle that fire? What sort of physical presence, and what kind of dark craftsmanship, would have been required to “twist the sinews” of the tiger’s heart? The speaker wonders how, once that horrible heart “began to beat,” its creator would have had the courage to continue the job. Comparing the creator to a blacksmith, he ponders about the anvil and the furnace that the project would have required and the smith who could have wielded them. And when the job was done, the speaker wonders, how would the creator have felt? “Did he smile his work to see?” Could this possibly be the same being who made the lamb?

...the last year we celebrate New Year's eve as a nuclear family. My sister is getting married in 30 days. Next year, all common celebrations will have to be shared with her new family. Its a new beginning, a beginning that I wished never begun. But it is a new beginning nevertheless, a beginning of new traditions. In the meantime, someone sent me a beautiful and haunting poem. Enjoy. Another Christmas, Another year ending; A year of pain and loss and bewilderment, Of beauty and fear, With a little love to make us go on struggling, A little joy to make it worth the struggle. Another Christmas, Another dream over. Do we dare to remember last year And the years before? So much is gone, so many memories, How can we stop what remains from becoming a shadow? Another Christmas, Another pause in the fighting. Can the pain that we give to others And the pain that we cause for ourselves Really be laid to rest by a Christmas card Or a sprig of mistletoe? Are we not as afraid of dying on Christmas Day? Another Christmas, Another pause for reflection: The morning I walked out alone in the cold golden sunlight, The evening I loved as was loved amid laughter and music, The afternoon of firelight and peace with my dream-shapes about me. Another Christmas, Another year beginning. Perhaps this year will see the end of us, Perhaps an indifferent stab will finally sever the tightrope on which we struggle. ...

...Dulce Lozano Pierce ENC 1102 30076 28 July 2013 The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock One’s social class in society and what society thinks of one has a huge impact on one’s self esteem. One is not ranked only by their money and possessions but one is also ranked by what they wear and how they present themselves (Association for Psychological Science). All of this affects the way people interact with each other and how they treat each other based on their social class (Association for Psychological Science). People from different classes have different views of life and the world around them; because of different environments they were raised and educated in. According to X.J. Kennedy and Dana Gioia, the authors of a literature book, T.S. Elliot, the author of The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, grew up of a middle class family that was well educated. Elliot went on to achieve a higher education and soon became a well-known poet, he had a high social ranking in society. In 1915 Elliot’s poem, The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, was published in a magazine (Kennedy). The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock is about a man who is very self-conscious about his appearance and worries what other people think of him. Prufrock has such a low self-esteem he is unable to approach women of a high class, because he thinks he is not good enough for them. Throughout the poem Prufrock explains and vividly describes the emotions he feels about himself and the social world around him. In T.S...

... or those who are aided by the state in which they live has led me to form a definite opinion’s about the necessity for a national health care plan. My thought process about the national health plan has evolved around major components of health care, affordability, accessibility, and quality of care. At a time in society when the United States is trying to bounce back from deep recession, a joblessness rate hovering around eight percent, homelessness, and so many underemployed among other things we have the tenacity to engage in an ongoing debate over the need for national healthcare national healthcare. While I understand that a great deal of my fellow citizens feel that a national health care plan is not necessary, I feel that given information that may not have been accessed by them a common ground can be reached and the validity of the need solidly established. The United States is the only remaining industrialized nation without a national health plan is it any wonder that we feel privileged enough even to argue the issue. Jobless, homeless, underemployed, members of our society would gladly step to the podium and proclaim they are unable to obtain, treatment, medication, needed procedures, and even basic medical care. Before phase I of the national health plan parents of children of eighteen but below the age of twenty-five would have joined them at the podium. However, one thing that is certain with the aforementioned facet of society was their inability to afford health...

...worldwide. In 2010, the IPL became the first sporting event to be broadcast live on YouTube. The brand value of the 2014 Indian Premier League was estimated to be US$7.2 billion. Cricket is one of the game which includes lots of betting and predictions. Due to this reason many researchers try out different methods to introduce new models to predict the result of the match. In this report we are making an attempt to predict the outcomes of some of the most important matches that will be played in the Indian Premier league in the forth coming year from April 8 to May 29. We use the Poisson distribution to create a model with which we will be able to predict (1) if there is any Home ground advantage to the home team, 2) Probability of the total runs per over that will be scored in the match by individual teams, finally we will predict which team will win the match using this model. We use the data from the previous seasons 2014 and 2015 to predict these matches. This model introduces you to predicting individual matches which can be further developed into an advanced model with which you can predict the season results and individual scores of a single batsmen. Introduction to Cricket and Betting: Cricket is the second most popular game in the world only next to football. The latest form of cricket is the Twenty20 or T20 cricket. It involves two teams with each team...

...this before it even begins. Three programs were examined for this research paper. Those programs are DARE, Partnership for Drug-Free Kids, and SADD. In this paper, the mission, funding and effectiveness of each program will be discussed. DARE DARE, Drug Abuse Resistance Education, is a program created to bring awareness of drug abuse with youth in communities. The mission of this program is to teach kids how to make the right decisions and live a drug free, healthy life. “D.A.R.E. is the national symbol for the Drug Abuse Resistance Education program which, in partnership with police officers, parents and schools is in use throughout the United States.”(DARE.org). The DARE program is funded by federal government resources and private contributors. A few studies were conducted on the effectiveness of this program. Dr. Ismail Sahin conducted an effective DARE program. “This study has showed that while some research studies found a positive effect of the DARE program, some studies found no significant impact at all” (Sahin 2014). There were several reason in this study why the DARE program was effective and ineffective in some areas. One reason in particular stood out the most. “One reason for this failure is importing and implementing the same DARE program without taking into consideration the specific characteristics of the schools or school environments.” (Sahin 2014). The DARE program should do research on the surrounding area or...

...this could not be further from the truth. This problem is actually most acute in rural areas. I actually have seen this first hand in the town where I come from. I graduated high school in 1995 and most of my friends were taking drugs and drinking alcohol on a regular basis throughout all of my high school years. I never did drugs but did drink alcohol with them on the weekends, and although this never turned into a problem for me, I shouldn’t have been drinking that young and bad things could have happened because of it. Some people say that teens may be getting mixed messages, with parents and other’s telling these students that it is bad for you but seeing a lot of it glorified through media. Just trying drugs can turn into a big problem because it can turn into drug dependency, dropping out of school, poor health, suicide, accidents, and failing to develop healthy mechanisms for coping with life’s problems. (Kauchak & Eggen, 2005) I tried many different ways of looking up programs that may be in place in my district or state and the only one I could come up with was D.A.R.E. This program also takes place in the town where I live. D.A.R.E. is a program in place that teaches students good...
