...California’s Sanctuary Bill Sanctuary cities are not a new thing. Sanctuary cities have been in place for many years. Los Angeles was one of the first sanctuary cities in the late 1970s.(Sanctuary Cities:). The Sanctuary cities have been made more aware of now that we have a sitting president that has made known he is admittedly against undocumented immigrants in his campaign speeches by mentioning, “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best . . . They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems to us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people”(Green). Also by bringing up that the United States needs better border security, the President used suggestions to build a wall along the southern borders in his campaign and has used rhetoric instead of evidence (Green). The president is so against the sanctuary cities and state, that he has even gone as far as having the Justice Department sue the state of California over it becoming a sanctuary state, because it is not following federal laws. While a sanctuary state is believed to be a safe haven for all undocumented immigrants, those that have commit serious and violent crimes are subject...

...Sanctuary cities What is a sanctuary city? A city that protects illegal immigrant rights and also from being deported back to their country. Recently Gov. Greg Abbott signed Senate Bill 4 known as the Sanctuary Cities Bill, banning sanctuary cities across Texas. He is declaring that its needed to keep Texans safe. Giving grater freedom to local Texas police to ask people, who have been detained about their immigration status, and mandates cooperation with federal immigration authorities. Officials who do not cooperate with federal immigrations authorities could be fined or even jailed. Those that are in favor of banning sanctuary cities argue that sanctuary cities protect criminals creating a dangerous environment for U.S citizens. We also have those who oppose the law thinking that it’s unconstitutional worrying it will turn routine exchanges like traffic stops into excuses for police to target undocumented immigrants indiscriminately deport people who have committed no crimes, separate families, and...

...Religion Final “What is Ancient Greek religion?” Main focus on the element of festivals, sanctuaries, and cults and how these all incorporate their own unique aspects when defining Ancient Greek religion. The Greek religious system depended not on a single deity, but on many. It did not depend on a sacred text and was served by both female and male priests. Greek gods did not assert rules for human conduct. The Ancient Greeks imagined human shapes and personalities for the immortal deities and then honored them in rituals that both comforted individuals and supported existing social systems. Religion in Ancient Greece was about community. While an individual does not have to believe the same thing as the community, they do have to participate equally in the religious actions. Belief was not the important thing. But if you don’t participate with the community, that will anger everyone and it offends the gods and endangers the community. It is treason to not participate. Greek religion is about action, not belief. It’s about give and take. The practice of religion cannot be separated from social and political life. Many concepts of Greek religion could be seen to benefit more than just the religious aspects. * Sanctuaries * Two most necessary features (directly related to ritual): * A place of sacrifice * A boundary line marking the space within which sacred rituals could be performed * Most sanctuaries were used by all ranks...

...hallucinogenic gases and you find a place whose past speaks directly to the 21st century. That is the argument of Cambridge University's Dr Michael Scott who is researching how and why Delphi, a small Greek town and religious sanctuary perched on a difficult to reach mountainside, was for 1,000 years the proclaimed the 'bellybutton', the very centre of the ancient world. Famed for its oracle at the Temple of Apollo, he is also examining the evidence of Delphi's many other gods, athletic and musical games and the monuments to unity - as well as civil war - that crowded its religious sanctuaries. Dr. Scott uses the latest architectural plans of the temple of Apollo which reveal for the first time archaeological traces of what may have been the oracular priestess's consultation room inside the temple. He also argues that the town, which drew kings and emperors as well as cities and commoners from all corners of the Mediterranean world and beyond, still speaks as powerfully to us today as it did in the past. He said: "Imagine a place with the wealth of the Swiss banks, the religious power of the Vatican, the advertising potential of the World Cup and the historical importance of all the world's museums combined; that was Delphi. We would all like to know what the future has in store for us. In that, perhaps the most important thing Delphi teaches us is to look inward, to answer the important questions ourselves, to 'know thyself'. The discovery of Delphi, begun over 100 years ago...

...Jerusalem. As a result, the United Nations will take control of Jerusalem. Neither of them should be in control of Jerusalem because war will erupt like a volcano that hasn’t gone off in milleniums if only one or both control Jerusalem. Also, because they will argue over the holy site over the hill, known as “Temple Mount” to the Israelis and the “Noble Sanctuary” to the Palestinians. Thirdly, they would not be able to compromise on a government. Jerusalem would be best fitted if neither the Palestinians or the Israelis controlled it, instead the United Nations will control it. Firstly, war will erupt in Jerusalem if only one or both religious groups controlled it. Jerusalem would be in terrible hands if only one religious group were to control it. In reality the other religious group that is not controlling Jerusalem would argue and bicker over it, and eventually they will declare war. Also, if war breaks out, it causes the authorities and both groups army’s to get involved. Lastly, havoc will outbreak in the city of Jerusalem and...

...BIB105: OLD TESTAMENT LITERATURE TERM PAPER: The ceremonial worship in the Old Testament (the tabernacle as a central place of worship) STUDENT NO: 13m04ebt004 MASUMBUO MPATHE ZIRO The sanctuary An introduction: Unquestionably, the greatest revelation of the love and character of God was at the cross, where the Lord offered Himself in the person of Jesus Christ as a sacrifice for the sins of the world. To help human beings to understand better what this great sacrifice meant, God devised the earthly sanctuary – modeling the heavenly sanctuary – as a pictorial representation of the plan of salvation ( Hebrews 8:5,Kjv). The sanctuary as a central place of worship serves as a teaching tool to help us then and now understand Jesus as our savior a high priest. The sanctuary – a heavenly plan for Gods residence in man “Let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them”……. “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the spirit of God dwelleth in you?”(Exodus 25:8,9; 1 Corinthian’s 3:16, Kjv). In profound simplicity and challenging depth God has revealed the way of salvation in the symbolism of the ancient Hebrew sanctuary. Said the psalmist, “Thy way, o God is in the sanctuary”(Psalms 77:13). And Jesus said of Himself, “Iam the way”(John 14:6). As the shekinah glory dwelt within the wilderness tabernacle of ancient Israel, so did the Father abide in Christ, that through Christ, God might find eternal residence...

...Synthesis Essay: The Fall of a City / The Sounds of The Hollyhocks The importance of childhood The upbringing of a child might just be the most important task there is. The way a child is raised, treated and the situation at home during its childhood take a huge impact on the rest of a child’s life. It affects not only one’s emotional stability, but also physical and mental health can be affected by one’s childhood. Sometimes the lack of love and support, harassment or other more severe forms of abuse can be found just next door without anyone knowing. It is not always obvious that a child is suffering, and it doesn’t always have to be abuse or the lack of love that take a negative effect on a child. Sometimes parents/guardians themselves don’t...

...which offered a vision of the future as a false paradise. In the movie, humanity is portrayed as having destroyed the earth's ecosystem by the 23rd century, through war, overpopulation and pollution, and retreated into a high-tech city enclosed in domes, full of futuristic buildings and public spaces that look like something out of a contemporary shopping mall. Inside, the inhabitants devote themselves to a life of indulgence while a computer with a vaguely seductive female voice controls the city and produces everything they need to live. They know nothing of the outside world, nor do they have any idea how to operate the machines that serve them. As in many similar works, the characters are portrayed as being much like children, dependent on the central computer to shelter them in their gilded cage. But the characters aren't only separated from the nature outside the city. They are also separated from the natural processes of life. They are incubated in nurseries, rather than being born, and they neither marry nor know their children. It is only natural, in their eyes, for sex to be purely a form of entertainment, unconnected to intimacy or procreation. Nor do they know anything of the natural process of aging. Because space is limited in the city, the computer simply does away with everyone on their 30th birthday. To lead these lambs willingly to their slaughter, it has given them a ritual and a myth: at the age of 30 everyone participates in carousel and has a chance to be...

...Babylon, I will visit you and fulfill My good word to you, to bring you back to this place. “ For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. 1You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you,’ declares the Lord, ‘and I will restore your fortunes and will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you,’ declares the Lord, ‘and I will bring you back to the place from where I sent you into exile.’” (Jer. 29:10-14) Daniel gained access to the writing of the prophet Jeremiah. Daniel fully understood what the writing meant so when he read the prophecies of Jeremiah, he became encouraged to pray that Jerusalem be restored. Daniel believed that the seventy years mentioned in the writings of Jeremiah were literal and would be fulfilled. Although Daniel had much faith that the prophecies would take place, he also believed that much prayer would be needed to push things forward. Daniel would pray three times a day while look down at Jerusalem from his room. Daniel...

...A Gap of Sky “I'm flying over London on a cold November night Unlit parks like bullet wounds on the blanket of electric lights The city is a living creature on it's own And we all push like blood through it's veins, so close together, so alone” Tina Dicow – London In the short story A Gap of Sky (2008) by Anna Hope we meet a young girl, Ellie. Ellie is a seemingly regular teenage girl who lives in London and studies at UCL. The only thing that might separate her from the crowd is how she spends her nights. Instead of staying home or doing homework, Ellie likes to party and do drugs. The basic storyline is that Ellie has a paper due for the next day, which she hasn’t yet started, probably because she has been partying. Apparently Ellie hasn’t applied herself enough at school, and risks getting kicked out if she doesn’t hand in her assignments. To make matters worse, Ellie is all out of printer ink, and she decides to go the student shop at UCL to buy some. On her way there she is faced with a few obstacles, and has to redirect herself in order to reach her destination. The story has a third person omniscient narrator and it is written as a stream of consciousness, which helps to give the impression that Ellie might be under the influence of a drug. Throughout the story Ellie has a hard time keeping focus; even though she realizes that it will have serious consequences if she doesn’t hand in her assignment, she is still more occupied with getting drugs than fulfilling...

...the construction and decoration of the Parthenon (The Temple of Athena). It will discuss what social, cultural/historic events accompanied and promoted this evolution. Greek art and sculpture has had a profound effect throughout the ages. Many of the styles have been reproduced and copied by some of what the modern day audiences would class as some of the finest artists to have ever lived. The Greeks used many different types of materials in their sculptures including stone, marble and limestone as these were abundant in Greece. Other materials such as clay were also used but due to their brittle nature very few have survived. Greek sculptures are very important as the vast majority of them tell us a story about Gods, Heroes, Events, Mythical Creatures and Greek culture in general. Many of the statues that have survived are actually of Roman origin. Like many people today the Romans had a deep respect for Greek sculptures and many were copied. If the Romans had not made these copies, many of the Greek Legends and stories that we know today would have been lost to antiquity. Geometric Art was a dramatic transformation that led to the establishment of primary Greek institutions such as the Greek city and the Greek alphabet. Although primarily visual, transformation is a concept which moves it way through history. Sculptures and carvings began to be made representing each city states' heroes and past legends including animals and humans. The growth of new trade...

...Sports and Recreation Management 1.) CHARACTERISTICS OF HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY • Intangibility Tourism products are services and, as such, they are largely intangible though with tangible, concrete elements. The importance of the abstract elements is such that we must make them tangible in order to apply marketing techniques to the services we provide. A direct consequence of intangibility is that the properties of tourism products cannot be transmitted, displayed or tested in advance. It is their use what is transmitted. This implies that the purchased product is unique and, in contrast to tangible products, tourism products are fundamentally experiences. Besides, intangibility implies that buyers are not sure about what they buy or about what they will get. This is why those who are planning to contract the services of a tourism package will look for information about it in advance in order to reduce uncertainty to the maximum. • Limited life-span Tourism products cannot be stored so, unless consumed when planned, they are waste. This affects hotel industry in such a way that we must choose between selling at the market’s pace and selling in advance (through agents). In fact, overbooking is a consequence of this limited life-span, an inherent feature of tourism services that we must try to counterbalance. • Aggregability A tourism product can be formed by aggregating various products, and this makes its commercialization and quality control more difficult...
