...others life. Some may argue that it’s actually a way of life. So many arguments and discussions about these forms of music have I seen and even participated in. One question and one statement concerning these have always remained on my mind. The statement: “There are Black Sabbath fans and there are Led Zeppelin fans. You cannot be both And Led Zeppelin in more influencing.” And the question: “Who’s responsible for the creation of heavy metal? Black Sabbath or Led Zeppelin?” Within my readings and within my search, the only fact I have came up with is that these are the two most influential bands of all time. The members of the band Black Sabbath are vocalist Ozzy Osbourne, guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Terry “Geezer” Butler and drummer Bill ward. These were the founding members of the band which was formed in 1968 in Birmingham, England. Though, the original name of the group was Earth Blues Company, which was shortened to Earth. Earth was forced to change their name due to another band already having that name. Their choice was based off of a song which they had written and that had created a stir among fans. A song about dealings and meddling in the gothic world and a dark visitation in the night; Black Sabbath. In the same year of 1968 there was a member of a band name the Yardbirds which consisted of guitarist Jimmy Page. Page was under contract still after the Yardbirds fell apart and he set out within Birmingham, England to find a “New Yardbirds” Thus the blues based band...

...Megadeth. What came before that though, was also just as incredible. Bands like Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath paved the way for those heavier 80's band. The godfathers of thrash are direct products of 60's and, more specifically, 70's hard rock bands. The debate remains the same though, who ushered in heavy metal? Some argue Black Sabbath, while others claim Led Zeppelin. Let's get a better look at those two bands though. Who are they, where did they come from and what did they leave for a legacy? Let's go back to 1968 Birmingham, England. Times were hard, growing up was harder. You either ended up in the factory, military or a criminal. If you lived long enough that is. For some there was an alternate escape. Music was a way to not think about how bad things were and how much worse they could become. Four young men were about to embark on a lifelong journey of music, mayhem and madness. John “Ozzy” Osbourne, Terence “Geezer” Butler, Bill Ward and Tony Iommi had come together to form a band called Earth. However things weren't going well for them. They kept getting confused with another band named Earth, so they opted to change their name. A theater across the street was playing horror movies, and they noted how people more or less paid to be scared. So they decided to go with a more horror-style theme, more dark and bleak music. Adopting the name of a Boris Karloff movie, Black Sabbath, they created a new style of music. About magic, the devil, war and death. They created an entire...

...Rock is strongly connected to an ongoing mass culture and economic engine in popular culture. It helped define the voice of youth during the rise of the adolescent class. It is known for being a creative and imaginative expression of music that holds an elevated position in culture. Rock has a background history in protests, riots and being bold on what one likes or believes in. In the article “Black Sabbath’s Tony Iommi stands in glass box for cancer awareness campaign”, Iommi is making a statement by standing within a two way mirror to highlight the loneliness felt by people diagnosed with cancer. Bystanders could see into the box however Iommi could not see out, instead herd audio of personal stories from cancer sufferers. Iommni was personally diagnosed with stage three of cancer, lymphoma. He is not just standing up for but was relating to the situation through hand. The mission of this article was to proclaim the understanding of cancer and how it makes those diagnosed with cancer feel. It also confirmed the rumors of Iommi being diagnosed with cancer. I believe the article is both informational and advertising to help the awareness and to help bring donations to cancer foundations. The author is clearly identified, labeled right before the prompt begins. The author’s article is informational within the article giving a basic brief summary on the situation being placed.

...the end conclusion. The first stanza follows in painting a picture of a lazy and beautiful summer day, specifically a Sunday that the persona is enjoying “In scansion gentler than my hammock swings”. He uses derivatives of the word idle in the first and last lines of the stanza “The growing idleness of summer grass”, “Since I lie idling from the thought in things,” along with the lack of punctuation emphasizes just how easy going and relaxed it is. However, the tone shifts immediately as the reader encounters the second stanza, “Until I hear the cries Of two small children hunting yellow wings.” The persona is disturbed, shaken, pulled from his meditative mood by the sounds of these children chasing a butterfly. He states “Who break my Sabbath with the thought of sin.” They have ruined his day of rest, and simultaneously made a link to his ever present themes of spirituality; the story is building to something, the senses that initially plucked at guitar strings begin to strum as he moves to the third stanza. “As a mantis prays She shrieks to eviscerate its abdomen.” A simile, a reference, the imagery; the picture painted, the pun as these simple words hint to a gentle action but is innocently...

...The Sabbath Day The Sabbath day is the day of rest and worship for individuals who follow the Christianity, Judaism or Islam faith. Half of the world’s population follows the three Abrahamic religions so the Sabbath day is a day that is highly recognized. Jesus said we are to both obey and teach the law and one cannot sacrifice truth at any cost. The enemy has gone to extreme lengths to make sure the Sabbath truth is not taught or believed and continues to go to extreme lengths and deceptions to keep us ignorant of this truth. But what is the truth behind the Sabbath Day? The actual Sabbath day is highly debated; but Appiah believes what people decide as their Sabbath day depends on what they were grown to know. Appiah pointed out that “a good deal of what we intuitively take to be right, we take to be right just because it is what we are used to” (21). Here Appiah is saying that the activities that we as human beings consider to be orthodox are the activities that we have been accustomed to doing. An example of this that Appiah mentioned is the female genital cutting that takes place in countries such as Africa. To them the removal of the female genital organ is normal while to an outsider it is a very cruel act. It is a very similar scenario with what one believes to be one’s Sabbath Day. If you were born as a Jew then you will be accustomed to knowing Saturday as your Sabbath Day but if you were born a Catholic then you will think of Sunday being the correct...

...Prophet Eesaa While Maryam (Mary), may Allaah exalt her mention, was praying in her place of worship, an angel in the form of a man appeared before her. Filled with terror, she tried to flee, praying: {قَالَتْ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِالرَّحْمَـٰنِ مِنكَ إِن كُنتَ تَقِيًّا . قَالَ إِنَّمَا أَنَا رَسُولُ رَبِّكِ لِأَهَبَ لَكِ غُلَامًا زَكِيًّا . قَالَتْ أَنَّىٰ يَكُونُ لِي غُلَامٌ وَلَمْ يَمْسَسْنِي بَشَرٌ وَلَمْ أَكُ بَغِيًّا . قَالَ كَذَٰلِكِ قَالَ رَبُّكِ هُوَ عَلَيَّ هَيِّنٌ ۖ وَلِنَجْعَلَهُ آيَةً لِّلنَّاسِ وَرَحْمَةً مِّنَّا ۚ وَكَانَ أَمْرًا مَّقْضِيًّا} 'Translation' {…'Indeed, I seek refuge in the Most Merciful from you, (so leave me), if you should be fearing of Allaah.' He said: 'I am only the messenger of your Lord to give you (news of) a pure boy (i.e., son).' She said: 'How can I have a boy while no man has touched me and I have not been unchaste?' He said: 'Thus (it will be); your Lord says: 'It is easy for Me, and We will make him a sign to the people and a mercy from Us. And it is a matter (already) decreed.'} [Maryam:18-21]. The angel's visit caused Maryam, may Allaah exalt her mention, great anxiety, which increased as the months went by. How could she face giving birth to a child without having a husband? Later, she felt life kicking inside her. With a heavy heart, she left the place of prayer and went to Nazareth, the city in which she had been born, where she settled in a simple farm house to avoid the public. But fear and anxiety did not leave...

...Holy days are different depending on the religion that you practice. Special holy days are set aside throughout the year, these are to honor the gods and commemorate important religious events (Bilhartz, 86). In the Ten Commandments the Jewish weekly Sabbath was the only holiday that was observed. Other important holidays include the Passover, the Pentecost celebrate the Shavuot, and the Feast of the Tabernacles celebrate the Sukkot (Bilhartz, 86). While the Sabbath was observed on the 7th day of the week, they had rest day on Saturday. With time the Christians changed their day of rest to Sunday. They considered the day of Resurrection as the most holy day of the week (Bilhartz, 87). “When the Roman Empire formally embraced the Christian religion...

What was the opening song? Remember the Sabbath Day 3. What would you have drawn for the scripture mastery? I would have drawn clouds and the sun and the sky. I feel like those things represent heaven and what eternal life would be like. 4. What words stood out to you in the scripture reference? The “seventh day” is what is stood out to me the most because that day is Sunday and it is the day where we should dedicate our time the most for God and avoid things that distract us from him. 5. In Elder Nelson's quote, what part did you find helpful? The quote gives us something to do on Sunday besides going to church. We can also be closer to God by serving others. 6. What is one way you can keep the Sabbath a delight? Keeping the Sabbath day holy by praying and thanking God for the things He have done for us, learn in church, and serve others. 7. Answer the second question on the next slide (the one with the picture of Jesus and the Sacrament). By avoiding things like work that can distract us from God, we can be more sacred during the Sabbath day. By not doing any labor work, I feel more at peace with my faith and I feel more serene because I know I am doing something righteous. 8. Answer the 2 questions from the next slide.

...me to see how righteous it was with God to cut off the thread of my life and cast me out of His presence forever. Yet the Lord still showed mercy to me”. Rowlandson as puritan woman never could cast in doubt the benevolence of God, so everything happened to her, it was a Divine’s drawing and she had to overcome all the difficulties as well as she could. Even when the Americans were close behind the Natives whom she was with, the Americans not crossing the river to follow them was viewed by Rowlandson as intentional and good by God‘s will: “God did not give them courage or activity to go over after us. We were not ready for so great a mercy as victory and deliverance”. She also wrote about the Sabbath Day: “when the Sabbath came they bade me go to work. I told them it was the Sabbath day, and desired them to let me rest, and told them I would do as much more tomorrow; to which they answered me they would break my face. And here I cannot but take notice of the strange providence of God in preserving the heathen”. She describes Native Americans as...

While, overall the slowest day is Monday with least total number of transactions of 9480 transactions. The OPS station have different patterns compare to most other stations as total number of transactions are significantly low on Saturday and Sunday with only 18 on Saturday and only 5 transactions on Sunday. The other stations which have significantly different patterns are 3N and 3NW. Station 3N does not have transaction record for Sunday and Monday, while station 3NW does not have transaction record for Sunday. Both stations also have significantly low transactions on Saturday compare to most other stations. In order to get the total number of stockouts for every station, first I made a pivotchart table by adding "Station_ID" field from Stockouts table to the Axis and "Stockout_Qty" field to the Values (with SUM in value field settings). After comparing each station from the chart, I found out that ED1H station has the highest number of stockouts with a total of 594 stockouts. To get the total expiration costs for every station, I made another pivotchart and added "Station_ID" field from ExpiredMedications table to the Axis and "Expiration_Cost" field to the Values (with SUM in the value field settings).

...darkness their need for the Savior. Yet while many Christians rightly denounce this unscientific belief, ironically, many are still falling into the devil s trap of denying God s sovereignty over the earth. That trap is the ages-long effort to twist and destroy the observance of the seventh-day Sabbath. Through Satan s false information and man s trust in traditions over the sure word of Scripture, millions of Christians have been led to discount or even reject the importance of observing the Sabbath. “The seyenth day is the sabbath of the Lord: in it thou shalt not do any work (Exodus 20:10). No one disagrees with the clear meaning of this text, yet millions are finding ways not to follow it. Why? The general Bible ignorance of the church and the clever arguments of Satan have created a climate of prejudice against the holiness of the seventh day in favor of the observance of Sunday. So in the interest of promoting God s law over the theories of men, let s take a moment to rediscover some amazing facts about the seventh-day Sabbath. Fact #1: ‘ The Seventh-day Sabbath Establishes God s Soverelgnty Why does Satan hate the Sabbath so much? Because the Sabbath identifies the true God and His claim of ultimate sovereignty. God certainly anticipated the controversy over the Genesis account of Creation. He knew that after the fall of man, there would be doubts about His claims of manufacturing all the staggering mass of matter by merely commanding it...

Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. 4. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

...“The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath” Mark 2:23-28 Jesus and The Synoptic Gospels Dr. Charette 04/08/13 Mark 2:23-28 “One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and as his disciples walked along, they began to pick some heads of grain. The Pharisees said to him, ‘Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?’ He answered, ‘Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need? In the days of Abiathar the high priest, he entered the house of God and ate the consecrated bread, which is lawful only for priests to eat. And he also gave some to his companions.’ Then he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath” (Mark 2:23-28, NIV). Introduction This paper will focus on the passage stated above, specifically the last statement; “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath.” The Sabbath is a reoccurring issue between Jesus and the religious rulers. In this paper I plan to research the reason why the Sabbath was created, give an exegetical view on this passage, and show how we can learn from this teaching. The Sabbath The Sabbath was established when God created the Earth. For in Genesis 2:2-3 it says, “By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating...

...what is thought of. The early times metal bands are even conservative and they have nothing to do with Satan in terms of religion. But most of the metal bands used satanic elements in lyrics, in music or on the stage. However, the intension of it is to attract listener’s attention. On the other hand, there is a small group in Norway actually worshipping Satan. In spite of the fact that they are in small numbers, their big actions made people talked about themselves. WHAT IS THE RELATION BETWEEN HEAVY METAL AND RELIGION? Heavy metal is a music genre which has very hardcore sound and brutal theme in terms of lyrics. It covers the issues like life, death religion love betrayal etc. It is generally associated with black color and heavy metal bands seem very tough wearing black and silver stuff. This is some kind of requirement to be a metal band, because this music deals with the issues which are not mentioned explicitly by any other genres but heavy metal, then that music is something strong and brave. Therefore, who makes that kind of music should appear in the same way. If and only if, they ought to have a strong theme. This strong theme comes from the music which is made by powerful electric guitars and from the lyrics which are especially related to death and religion. Death is literally a very small part of life, because death comes suddenly, so, many people do not remember this issue in a daily life. However, death is what ends a whole life. That is why heavy metal chooses...
