...He had almost been killed by the Jews only moments before, but he asked the commander who was about to bring him to safety to let him speak in front of the people. Then he spoke, telling them about his conversion from a zealous Pharisee into one of the leaders in the New Church. He spoke to them of how the Lord had told him to go to the Gentiles. At this, the Jews were furious, and demanded that Paul be killed. Even so, Paul continued his preaching. The next day he stood before the Sanhedrin, unafraid of what they would do to him. He told the Sanhedrin that he was on trial because of his hope of the resurrection, knowing that this would cause an uproar. The argument was so heated between the Pharisees and Sadducees that the commander was afraid that Paul would be torn to pieces. This boldness made it clear to the Jews what the New Church stood for and why Paul was so vehement about his faith and beliefs. Without bold leaders who are willing to put their reputation among unbelievers and even their life at stake, the church becomes like a smoldering candlewick. Then it is no longer a light and a salt to the nations...

...Charles Otto “Charlie” Puth Jr. is an American singer, composer, songwriter and record producer that gained his fame by the viral success of his song posts in his Youtube Channel: CharliesVlogs. Puth played piano throughout his childhood and studied jazz at the age of 10. As a high school student, he spent his Saturdays commuting into the city to study classical and jazz at Manhattan School of Music in Harlem. “I thought I was going to be a jazz piano player, but I always had an interest in pop because my parents would listen to all this pop music,” he recalls. “I always tried to incorporate pop elements into the jazz I was playing.” Puth began listening to more and more pop, fascinated by the way it was produced, especially Max Martin’s late ’90s work, which led him to buy his first music production keyboard at age 11 and start making his own CDs. In sixth grade, he recorded and produced his own Christmas album, which he sold door to door in his town. “I made $600 and donated the proceeds to my local church,” he says with a laugh. “I designed the artwork and put all the jewel cases together; I was really into the whole process.” Shortly after, Puth began writing his own songs and eventually posting them on YouTube, along with covers....

...My Opinion of the Australian Tax System Australia is a nation that is envied by many underdeveloped countries for our abundance of public services, transport and healthcare as well as the carefree lifestyle that many Australians have grown accustomed to. However, the Australian taxation system has been persistently scrutinized by its taxpayers for its many pitfalls in providing an equitable means of raising government revenue. In my opinion, the major shortcomings of the Australian taxation system include its lack of neutrality, with reference to high-income earners and small business owners, its constant lobbying towards the baby boomer generation, its current ageing population crisis and the permitted negative gearing of investment properties. Many sweeping reforms have been suggested in an attempt to rectify these issues, however it seems that no such recommendations have been implemented. Neutrality of Australia’s Tax System I believe that there are too many vested interests and rent seekers in today’s society for the Australian tax system to be neutral. However, in my opinion, the Australian tax system favors high-income earners and small businesses, in reference to negative gearing, discretionary family trusts and unfair deductible expenses. Negative gearing refers to when an investor purchases a rental property, but the net rental income is not enough to cover the interest on the money borrowed. Negative gearing favors the high-income earners due to the fact that...

...------------------------------------------------- Plot[ edit] Billy McMahon and Nick Campbell seek employment after being laid off from their positions as watch salesmen when their employer goes out of business. Billy then applies for an internship at Google for the two of them, and they are accepted due to their unorthodox interview answers, despite a lack of relevant experience. They are the only interns not of traditional collegiate age. They will spend the summer competing in teams against other interns, also known as "Nooglers", in a variety of tasks, and only the members of the winning team will be guaranteed jobs with Google. Billy and Nick are teamed with other interns seen as rejects: Stuart, who is usually engrossed in his smart phone; Yo-Yo, a Filipino-American who was homeschooled by a stereotypical overbearing Asian mother; and Neha, an Indian-American who is an enthusiast of nerd-related kink. The team is led by Lyle, who constantly tries to act hip in order to hide his insecurities. Another intern, Graham, bullies Billy and Nick's team. Mr. Chetty, the head of the internship program, also expresses his doubts about the older men's abilities. Stuart, Yo-Yo, and Neha see Billy and Nick as useless during a task focused on debugging and send them on a wild goose chase to find the fictional character, Professor X. But later, during a game of quidditch against Graham's team, Billy rallies his team to a comeback that unifies them as a team despite ultimately losing after...

...had died. His two siblings, Henry and Rosalie, moved away to live with other families. Poe, however, went to live with a wealthy tobacco merchant, Mr. John Allan, (hence, acquiring the middle name Allan). Poe had always dreamed since his childhood to be a writer, but, Mr. Allan wanted him to be a businessman and a Virginia gentleman. Because of Poe’s immense interest in poetry, by the time he was thirteen, he had acquired enough poetry to make a book. In 1826, Poe left for the University of Virginia. While excelling in his classes he had also accumulated a considerable amount of debt. Because of Poe’s debt, he had taken up to gambling to pay off his debts. Since gambling had not solved any of Poe’s problems, he dropped out of school. Furious and humiliated, Poe went to his fiancé, Elmira Royster only to find that she had an affair with another man. Even more infuriated and broken, Poe set out for a quest for becoming a great author and adventure. He accomplished his first objective by publishing his first book Tamerlane, at...

...time? What may have been crucial to the culture of one generation may not have as profound as impact to another. Granted, with time, more art is made that is more reflective of their respective eras but it is the mark of a masterpiece that a film could remain relevant almost fifty years past its original release. Patton is a significant cultural mainstay because of the circumstances of the era in which it came out but the elements of the film itself, reception from critics of the time, and critics today are why the film endures. Data from various points in time were examined in order to best determine opinions of the film throughout the 45 years since its release. Several primary sources ranging from reviews from film critics in newspapers to hobbyists filming YouTube movie reviews were examined alongside secondary sources. No distinct problems were identified with the data. Film can be seen as a reflection of the era of which they are made; Patton was very successful in a time of sociopolitical turmoil. The late 1960s and early 1970s were a tumultuous time for American culture. It is at this moment in time that countercultural movements were at full force. The growing resentment of the war, the civil rights movement, and the ongoing Cold War had heavy impacts on American lives. There is no doubt that the circumstances had an impact on Patton’s success. The contrast between the ongoing Vietnam War and the Second World War coupled with the growing disillusionment of the former...

...10 Rules for Writing Opinion Pieces July 27, 2009 by Susan Shapiro Freelance on the fly by mastering the opinion piece. Opinionated editorial essays are often the most fun, fast and furious pieces to get into print—especially for nonfamous writers with strong opinions and day jobs in other fields. That’s because editors of newspapers and online magazines like Slate, Salon, The Huffington Post and The Daily Beast want quick commentary on the ever-changing news cycle from experts who can illuminate different angles of stories as they unfold. So if you have an engaging, unusual point of view on a current public conundrum, along with a relevant platform (e.g., being a teacher, businessman, lawyer, doctor, parent or stamp collector) you don’t need clips or editorial experience on your résumé—just quick thinking and an understanding of the form of these articles. I once sent a hastily written kvetch about a Kmart opening in my Greenwich Village neighborhood to The New York Times at noon, had an acceptance by 2 p.m., was sent a copy by midnight and received a check within a week. Here are the essential elements of a successful and sellable op-ed. 1. BE TIMELY OR EARLY. I submitted my Kmart commentary the week the local branch opened, which, luckily, coincided with a front-page debate about superstores infiltrating Manhattan. Timeliness is essential with this genre, especially now that online news sites can update as often as they choose. The presidential election was hot...
