...Really?” Allie was surprised, but then again, after thinking about it a moment, she was not surprised at all; Addie was light-skinned and had many of the same features her grandmother did - she even had green eyes. “Don’t tell me you’re surprised- I’m not the least bit surprised,” said Eli. “After I thought about it a moment, I’m not either. What else did you find?” “It would seem that the Christopher women kept a running tally of who fathered whom and so on- Addie has a full-blood brother, also fathered by our great-grandfather, that our great-grandmother Christopher was keeping up with; his name is or rather was Julian Christopher. Our great-grandfather Christopher gave him his freedom and sent him to England for an education… He must have cared a great deal for him…” “I think that is a good thing,” said Allie. “He could have sold him or kept him a slave for the rest of his life.” “From what I read, this Julian married and fathered children- their children married and so on- now, no one knows they were Negroes.”...

...Birth order does not affect a person’s life because if the children are all treated the same they can all be successful and not be considered a “rebel”. Soon you will read my argument against the article “Does Birth Order Matter (Reality Central,pg.40).” You will see my perspective on the argument, and my opinion about birth order, and how I strongly believe that birth order does not affect a person’s life. George Washington was an extremely successful man but he also happens to be a middle child. Peyton Manning is overwhelmingly successful, but he also happens to be a middle child. Lastly, I am a pretty successful 6th grader, also a middle child, but I am not a “rebel”. George Washington, which was one famous middle child, was a leader of the American Revolution. That role needs great leadership because, there were many, many men about to go fight in a huge catastrophic morbid war. That was just another success for Washington to lead a tragic war for seven years and to have such a victory. George is extremely famous and was very successful which, argues with my opinion. Peyton Manning, who is a very successful and talented football player, who happens to be a middle child. “Not many quarterbacks throw a football...

...Though Eli Whitney’s invention of the cotton gin gave birth to the mass production of cotton in America after 1793, it also had its negative effects. Before 1793, the need for slaves was beginning to diminish. Slaves cost so much to maintain that the plantation owners were suffering loss of profit since tobacco was being greatly overproduced. With the cotton gin, cotton could be refined with ease, yet plantation owners still needed laborers to pick the cotton, causing the need for even more slavery. The number of slaves on every plantation and farm skyrocketed in America after the cotton gin’s invention. Life for southern slaves was very difficult to deal with at this time, no matter if it were on a large plantation or a small farm. However, the life of a plantation slave had more structure as opposed to the life of a farm slave....

...Procaz/Fluoxetine Brian Wai PC6250/Psychopharmacology Argosy University Spring 2014 Prozac is also known as Fluoxetine Hydrochloride, the most media exposure of any psychiatric medication in the history, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors antidepressant that affects chemical in the brain to reduce depression, panic, anxiety, or obsessive-compulsive symptoms. The effect of Prozac is to block the absorption of the neurotransmitter serotonin in the brain. It regulates the amount of serotonin to help brain cells transmit messages to each other, resulting in a better and more stable mood. Back to 1970s, Fluoxetine was developed by Bryan Molly, David Wong and Roy Fuller of the Eli Lilly corporation in 1973. It was the first product in a major new drugs for depression and introduced to the American market in 1988. They roughly took about two years to gain reputation and most prescribed status around the nation. Fluoxetine was not discovered accidentally but was designed specifically to block the reuptake of serotonin back into the pre-synaptic neuron. The patients whose taking Fluoxetine indicated the improvement of decisiveness, increase self-esteem and quickness of thoughts. They did not have a loss of mood or motivation. (Kruger, 1995) In fact, it enabled them to see their problems in a more objective manner and actively seek solutions. It was mainly to cue depressions but the reports also indicated Fluxoetine could...

...Professor Bible 105, Essay 2 (MLA) 19 September 2015 Saul, David, and Solomon Before discussing why the people of Israel desired a king, it is important to go back in time and get an understanding of the background and history. Samuel was, at birth, chosen by God. He was a prophet and served under Eli, the high priest. By the power of God and Samuel’s leadership, the Philistines (Israel’s enemy) were defeated. Eli’s sons had been killed, Eli had died and, Samuel became judge over Israel. When Samuel was an old man, he appointed his sons as judges to Israel. His sons, however, were corrupt (Swindoll 2). “Yet his sons did not walk in his ways but turned aside after gain. They took bribes and perverted justice” (1 Sam. 8:3). So the people of Israel felt let down and they wanted something done…they wanted a king. However, this was not the only reason they wanted a king. Samuel was not only old and his sons were corrupt, the people wanted to be like other nations (Dale). They told Samuel they wanted him to appoint a king to judge them. “Behold, you are old and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now appoint for us a king to judge us like all the nations” (1 Sam. 8:5). People have always wanted to be like everybody else. Israel was to be different and distinct from all other nations. Israel was to be a covenant people by whom God would reveal Himself and His plan of redemption. “But the thing displeased Samuel when they said, “Give us a king to judge us.” And...

...The first seven chapters of 1 Samuel speak of Samuel’s life from birth through his Judgeship. Samuel was a good Judge and also prophet. The text in (The Essence of the Old Testament: A Survey, pg. 164),” The failures of the judges’ era is illustrated in the rebellious ways of Eli and his sons, which are set in contrast to the successful judgeship of Samuel (1 Samuel 7:3-17 NIV.)”He was used by God because he was obedient when the Lord spoke to him. He led the people to a renewal of covenant at Mizpah, and helped them to claim victory over the Philistines. However when Samuel grew old and appointed his sons, Joel and Abijah as judges over Israel, they were not the men that Samuel was, they were dishonest and took bribes. (1 Samuel Chapter 8 NIV) The elders of Israel met with Samuel at Ramah. They said to him, “You are old and your sons do not walk in your ways; now appoint a king to lead us, such as all the other nations have.” The Israelites wanted a king, like everyone else. God would tell Samuel to give them the king that they wanted. In verse 9 of Chapter 8, God also told him to warn Israel about a monarchy but, it didn’t matter them. “The events surrounding the selection of Saul for king (9:1-10:16) demonstrate that he was the people’s choice, more than God’s choice for king. The people seemed to focus on Saul’s outward appearance (9:2) rather than his heart (16:7). Saul had a strong beginning, even the spirit of God was manifest in him on a few occasions however, he...

...failure of smaller companies to compete. Andrew Carnegie, whose social Darwinism ideas became popular, also supported his fellow businessmen through his gospel of wealth. In document D, he stated ¨the man of wealth thus becoming the mere agent and trustee for his poorer brother.” He justified that the wealthy should not be resented because they were helping the poor. Yet, they would easily lower wages or fire people for the benefit of themselves. In addition, working conditions began to change during this time. Factories were booming again and new groups, such as children and women, joined the labor force. Since one of the big business goals was efficiency, these factories adopted the assembly line. The world was first introduced to this by Eli Whitney and his interchangable parts. Henry Ford, the automobile magnate, was the one to use it effectively in order to produce affordable...

...Introduction There seem to be some incidents that are difficult to understand in the Bible, so Thomas G. Long questions whether every biblical text can be preached. The mysterious death of the man named Uzzah is one of these incidents, described in 2 Samuel 6:1-10. The passage is about David and his soldiers’ moving the ark to Jerusalem. As the ark processional arrived at the threshing floor of Nacon, oxen stumbled, the cart bearing the ark tipped, and the man named Uzzah reached out to steady the ark. Then God struck Uzzah dead. David became angry and named the place Perez-uzzah. On one hand, it is believed that this incident is caused by Uzzah’s violation of the divine directives, which are that the ark should be handled correctly according to God’s instructions. As Ingrid M. Haase, “scholars have always stressed the inherent sacredness of the ark and that it did not need puny man’s attention to survive.” Since the sanctity of the ark was so extreme and its violation so serious, when Uzzah had reached out to the ark, this alone was reason enough to be put to death. On the other hand, David F. Payne analyzes Uzzah’s death in the following manner, providing a somewhat naturalistic cause: “Uzzah, with the best of intentions in the world, instinctively put out a hand to steady the ark, and having done so was horrified at his own action, and overcome by fear suffered a heart attack or something of the sort.” According to Eugene H. Maly, Uzzah slipped and fell on the rocky...

...The book of Judges introduces us to the long years of Israel’s struggle to maintain control of the Promised Land and serves as the transition from the conquest to the kingdom. It deals with events following Joshua’s death (c. 1380 BC) The main body of the story revolves around six cycles of apostasy, repentance, and deliverance. God intervenes time and again to rescue the struggling Israelites from military oppression, spiritual depression, and ethnic annihilation. The book of Judges derives its title from the Latin Liber Judicum, but the Hebrew title is shophetim. The verbal form (“to judge”) describes the activity of the various deliverers whom God used despite their personal challenges, oddities, or inadequacies Most of the biblical judges were heroes or deliverers more than legal arbiters. They were raised up by God and empowered to execute the judgment of God upon Israel’s enemies. The sovereignty of God over His people is seen in these accounts as God, the ultimate Judge (11:27), judges Israel for her sins, brings oppressors against her, and raises up human judges to deliver her from oppression when she repents. I. Reason for the Judges (Judges 1:1–2:23) The period of the judges followed the death of Joshua (1:1) when Israel was left with no central ruler. While the book of Joshua represents the apex of victory for the Israelite tribes, the book of Judges tells the story of their heartache and struggle to maintain control of the land. While the conquest of the land...
