...majority of country’s institution still do not adapt high technology. Particularly in some schools, library transactions are still done on paper. We all know that modern school libraries are operating at great pace striving to serve as many students as possible with the best of their abilities. But as the years rolled by, the number of study has grown and the manual method of managing student and book records is no longer practical. A Library Management System is a system that makes use of information technology to perform managerial objects. The main goal of a library management information system is to store, organize, share and retrieve vital information needed to perform daily operational functions of the library. St. Matthew Academy of Cavite does not have one. Since library has a very large number of books and large number of members, it is impossible for librarians to handle day to day activities manually. Therefore, a library management system is used to facilitate the tasks in the library. With growing population and high demand of students, St. Matthew Academy of Cavite is in need of such system. And so this is the reason why the proponents came up with the idea of developing the system. By means of obtaining good performance of such system for the library, the level of production and effectiveness...

...Have you ever wondered if math can be a subject found in the Bible? In taking this class, I began a journey that made me consider the subject from a Biblical standpoint. According to Merriam-Webster.com, the definition of mathematics is defined as, “the science of numbers and their operations”. In this paper, we will evaluate three different occasions where math references were used in the Bible. The first point that we will be looking at is how addition can be found in the Bible. The book of Genesis presents an example of how addition played a role. “And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, and after his image; called his son Seth: And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters: And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred years: and he died.” (Genesis 5:3-5, King James Version) It is clear from the picture painted above that 130 years are added to 800 years to equal the complete years Adam lived, which was 930 years (Keister, 1982). The Lord could have enlightened the author’s mind to publish that Adam lived a long life. However, the author explained in detail how many years Adam lived before and after the birth of his son, Seth. Furthermore, one can conclude that this detailed description was placed with the purpose of helping the reader to see the mathematical aspect behind it. The second point we will be discussing in our search for mathematical wisdom in...

...Nichole Pinson Professor Slattery TH-150 Introduction to Theology 13 December, 2015 Reflection: The Sermon On The Mount Abstract The purpose of this research is to examine the significance of the Sermon of the Mount and how it relates to me personally. It is important to recognize that the principles underpinning Judaism is not a single belief instead a variety of belief systems. Through my research, I have drawn parallels and differences between Judaism and Christianity with respect to their belief system, and worldview. The paper affirms that Judaism has had a profound influence on the overall lifestyle, social interactions, cultural practices, and the religious history for the Jewish community. Introduction What does Judaism mean in the life of a Jewish person? In order to properly analyze “Judaism” one must first understand both the origin and the significance of the term Judaism. The term was first used in the intertestamental period by Greek-speaking Jews to distinguish their religion from Hellenism. According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, Judaism is defined as “a religion developed among the ancient Hebrews and characterized by belief in one transcendent God who has revealed himself to Abraham, Moses, and the Hebrew prophets and by a religious life in accordance with Scriptures and rabbinic traditions.” Simply put, Judaism is the intricate religious and cultural history for the diverse people known as the Jewish community. Judaism plays...

...Reading Strategies for Ninth Grade English Language Learners Vanessa S. McQueen Student Number: 000-02-7502 In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements with the Degree with Masters in Reading with Concentration in Inclusive Education The College of The Bahamas October 2013 Abstract Research in the field of reading strategies has been conducted repeatedly to ascertain the effectiveness of these strategies in assisting English Language Learners (ELL) to construct meaning from texts. However, little research has been done in The Bahamas to determine what Bahamian educators can do to support second language learners in their classrooms. This paper assesses: 1. The impact of Sustained Silent Reading on comprehension for ELLs 2. The impact of Think Aloud and Read Aloud on reading comprehension for ELLs. This research suggests that the use of these strategies can play an important role in students’ abilities to read and comprehend texts on their own. Direct instruction and modeling of the think aloud strategies increased the students’ confidence levels and the likelihood that they will use the strategies on their own. Key words: English Language Learners, Sustained Silent Reading, Teacher Think Aloud, Comprehension, Scaffolding, Schema, Prior Knowledge Reading Strategies for English Language Learners In the past ten years, The Bahamas has seen a significant increase in...

The synoptic Gospels are ones that include Matthew, Luke and Mark. The reason they are called synoptic, which means, seen together, is because of their adjacent similarities, which allow the texts to be set out in congruence for comparison. It is commonly established that there is a “literary relationship” between them, but the “phenomena” are multifaceted and rulings on them are “conflicting.” “Prevailing in modern critical scholarship is the Two Document Hypothesis (TDH), namely, that Mark was the first gospel and was one of two...

The book we chose was Love’s Executioner by Irvin. D Yalom. (first published in 1989) But first a little about the author. Born in Washington DC in 1931 to Russian parents, Irvin D Yalom spent most of his childhood indoors, reading books, avoiding the perils of his the harsh reality of his neighbourhood. After graduating from Boston University School of Medicine in 1956 he went on to complete his internship and his residency in New York and Baltimore. In 1962 Yalom began his academic career at Stanford University. Existential therapy Soon after this period he made some of his most lasting contributions by teaching about group psychotherapy and developing his model of existential psychotherapy. Praised by peers for his accessible and non technical approach in his writing, Yalom believes that the success of his story telling is down to having ‘a stream of brief human vignettes running throughout the text’ (www.yalom.com). “What do you want?” This simple question generates some of the most intimate answers, even between perfect strangers.

Introduction Through my research, it is my intent to identify significant points within the history of the Babylion Empire, including its origins, development, expansion, eventual decline, and why it became a focal point of many of the major events of the Old Testament. From the Great Empire of Akkad, Babylon became a major seat of learning, culture, and technology. More than simply a city-state of defiance, and sinful practices, Babylon’s influence, very often viewed through a negative scholarly lens, shaped the history of Asia Minor, Northern Africa, and the world when approached from a biblical standpoint. As such, Babylon remains a critical, powerful nation in relation to its nation-state of Israel, and Old Testament history. Nimrod The Cushite The first nation-state identified within contemporary Biblical literature is the land that is “Ethiopia”, as mentioned...

...Solving the Synoptic Problem Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are the four narrators for the Gospels. The Gospel “offers distinctive information about Jesus, his public ministry, death, Resurrection, and significance” (Mueller 80). Each of the four Gospels were written at different times, and without collaboration. Due to the differences of chronological order, the order in which events took place, vocabulary, the overall contents, and similarities the Synoptic Problem was created. The Synoptic problem refers to the discussion and the relationship between the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. The main question that the Synoptic problem posses is what is the nature of the relationship between the three Gospels of Mark, Matthew, and Luke, which was written first, and what sources were used in each of them? With the exception of John, the Gospels have many different similarities in the text, passages, and the specific arrangements of those passages. The reason for the Gospel written by John not being included in the synoptic problem is that there are very few agreements in the text compared to those of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. “The synoptic gospels are synoptic in that they share a majority of their information. Mark contains 93% shared information, Matthew 58% and Luke contains 41%. The Gospel of John in the only gospel that is not considered part of the synoptic gospels because it is 92% peculiar, or dissimilar in its structure and makeup” (Linderer 2). Although...

...or start asking question of your bible scholars or even your casual readers of the Bible you find out people don’t even realize there is a Synoptic problem. There seems to be many different proposed solutions that will fix the problem. Some accepted and some of which has very little support at all. When you read you see that there are different scriptures in the bible that shows a level of agreement in the content of reading, and seems as if the authors have borrowed each other’s writings’ or used the same materials in research they had in common. However, even though they agree there are so many differences that are puzzling. Some of differences are in the same passage of scripture but yet show similarities. So what does the Synoptic problem look like in text in the bible? Has the problem been address and how was it looked at and dealt with throughout history of the church?

...2005, pg. 284). In the beginning of this story we must start with Jesus’ mother, the Virgin Mary was visited by an angel, whom told her that she would conceive a baby and he would be the Messiah. She should name him Immanuel, which means God with us. An angel visited Joseph as well, who told him that Mary was blessed by the Holy Spirit and would have a son, who would save the people from their sins. Mary and Joseph obeyed God, the baby was born in a stable, laid in a manager and they called him Jesus, meaning God with us (Matthew 1:18-25, New International Version). At the age of 30, Jesus started his mission and selected a group of 12 disciples to help him share his message. He went place to place and preached about God’s love, he performed miracles, such as feeding a multitude of people from five fish and two loaves of bread (Matthew 14:18-20). As Jesus continued his journey he was joined by many followers as they were in awe of his words and teachings (Matthew 7:28). Meanwhile, the stirring of the Messiah followers brought about fear in the King. The King felt threatened that he may be overthrown by Jesus and his...

...dig deeper in the Bible to find out. God expects us to be good stewards of the money and other items of wealth that He has given to us. He emphasizes this so much that Jesus even used the parable of the talent in the Book of Matthew in the New Testament to illustrate the fact that He expects us to do something with the money God has entrusted to us. The parable makes it obvious that God doesn’t expect us to be stupid about how we use our money. Technically, it is not even our money. It is His money. Therefore, we should consider God’s will about how He wants it spent so that it is used in godly manner. The parable of the talent as discussed in the Matthew makes it perfectly clear that God doesn’t expect us to just sit idle with our money. Given that godly expectation; there are many low risk ways to invest our money. Whether we use stocks, bonds, treasury bills or a savings account; there are many ways to be a good steward of Gods money during the short time that we have it here on earth. As investors; we are not being careless with God’s money as long as we do our research and feel confident that we are investing with His Will in mind. Researching how to invest Gods money equals wise choices. Investing can be a wise choice as long as one does their research as mentioned above. Unfortunately, many Christians make the mistake of thinking that investing is the same as gambling and therefore is a sin. Investing is definitely not the same as gambling. Many people whether Christian...

...become successful? ” is one of the core questions every person and every parents in this society has been curious of since the dawn of human civilization. Malcolm Gladwell's chapter two and three, “The Trouble with Geniuses, Part 1 and 2”, of his best selling book “Outliers” tries to further justify his idea that there are various unseen factors are at play that can determine if a person becomes successful or not in his life. With these chapters, he takes a deeper look into “The Matthew Effect” with the help of two so called geniuses Christopher Langan and Robert Oppenheimer. Much like previous chapters “The Matthew Effect” and “ 10,000 Hour Rule” , Gladwell's ideas can be considered fairly paradoxical even to this day. Like what Gladwell says, today's society still believes that a high IQ level or the status Geniuses is a sure way a person achieves fame, wealth and success. To dis-spell this general view, he compares each Christopher Langan and Robert Oppenheimer's lives from birth to adulthood and how each of them differentiate from their family background, how they were raised, what they expect of the society and an authoritative figure, how they they dealt with any obstacles....

...Spencer Beck Dawn Kelsey COMM 200: Gateway to Communication Studies November 20, 13 Review of Literature: The Rhetoric of Harry Potter Every so often there are stories that take the world by storm and make such an impact that they become part of our everyday world. (Czubek et al. 442) Jk Rowling’s Potter book series is by far one of the most loved series by adults and children for over sixteen years. First published in 1997, the world has fallen in love with Harry Potter and the magical world that he saved from destruction several times over. For me, growing up and being forced to read was always a problem until my father bought me the first book and I have been hooked ever since. A proud owner of all the books in hardback, audio books and all the movies, some would say I’m a bit of a Harry Potter nerd. For me, Harry Potter has become an everyday part of my world. In this review of rhetoric, three main components will be examined. The will be the examination of identities. Secondly, an examination of the commodity culture in the Potter books. Lastly, Christian undertones will be looked at. Identity Harry spent 11 years of his life not knowing who he was or where he belonged. He thought he belonged to his horrible Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia. Todd A. Czubek and Janey Greenwald have written an article that explains the parallels between Harry Potter and the Deaf world. Using a “deaf lens” we can gain insight into social arrangements in the...
