...One aspect of Egyptian society that’s the population distribution. 94% of Ancient Egypt’s people lived along the Nile floodplain because this was the only place that had fertile soil for farming. In what ways did the Nile shape Ancient Egypt. Thanks to the nile river, its floodplain, and marshy delta provided some fertile soil, or “Black Land”, for the kingdom. In fact, the Nile River, the Nile River shaped many aspects of Ancient Egyptian society, including its population distribution, its agricultural system, and spiritual life. The Nile gave the Egyptian people places to settle that were kept going for thousands of years. Most of the Ancient Egyptian population lived in towns along the river or in the delta. The Nile encouraged settlement...

...Children of Heaven BACKGROUND: Released in 1997, the Iranian film, ‘Children of Heaven’ is a story of two siblings from a lower class, who struggles with, and, for a pair of shoe. Directed by Majid Majidi. Majid Majidi His work is uncluttered and elegant: the story flows in a simple, linear manner with no flashbacks or flash-forwards; no special effects to jazz things up; And the soundtrack played a vital part in shaping the whole experience of the viewer. It’s not just the music. It’s the strategic use of silence. It is called the sound of silence The cinematography and editorial pacing of Children of Heaven takes advantage of the full range of cinematic story-telling techniques, Such as tracking shots, pans, a wide range of camera framings, camera reversals, and point-of-view shots – FEW POINTS WORTH HIGHLIGHTING IN THE MOVIE: 1. the narrow alley in which we see the children running most of the time, projects the economic state of the community and the director’s insight to enhance the proximity of the situation and also the realistic projection of how many hardships the faced to keep the secret: running in dirty uneven lanes, with gutters, children playing, crowd moving about. 2. A director’s decision on what camera movement for what shot? The decision is a combination of Director’s POV i.e. what he wants to communicate or what does he want the audience to focus on and the audience tendency of observing things i.e how best can he leave an...

...journey, I was stunned by the beautiful scenic views that I only saw in pictures. I was totally lost in the scenic views that I forgot to blink my eyes We stayed in the 5-star hotel in front of the beach. Next day we hired a helicopter for a trip to see volcano. It was simply amazing. We stayed in The Big Island for 4 days, and then we went to the island of Maui for 4 days. We did so many activities which included Jet Ski, Scuba diving, Parasailing etc. We also watched the sunrise of Kalekala's summit, it was very romantic. At last one of the best things we did in Hawaii was to drive on the Hana Highway. It was the most amazing and spectacular experience of my life that I was stunned by God's creation of a heaven-like place on earth. This highway has 600-plus turns, 50 one-lane bridges and breathtaking views that alternate between mountain streams and soaring sea cliffs, the Hana Highway is less a roadway than an event in itself. Our journey ended on 18th of May. On our way back we traveled by plane again. During the trip I thought, 'Those days were amazing and unforgettable, I wished if I had more days to spend over there'.My holiday was exciting and full of joy. I...

...begin? How did mankind come into exsistence? Exodus 20:11 New King James. The Lord created all in six days and he rested the seventh day, this is believed to be the beginning of the world. To my knowledge the Lord made a day of rest to do nothing but pray and give him glory for which he deserves. Reread the passage of scripture. The day of rest was given before the bible was written. It was for rest both man and beast. Nehemiah 9:6 New King James version states that the Lord did all his work alone he made heaven the earth and all on earth, the seas and everything in them and we are to preserve them all what the Lord did was to create a place to live a life with all the necessities to stand a new world. The lord created this place called heaven alone. The question of identity what does it mean to be human? Who are we? Are humans more important than animals? I really don’t know but I would like to share a story that I have witness for myself. One day I was driving on a main highway and I noticed that there was a dog trying to cross a street. Well the dog was in the middle in the street trying to avoid the cars but as he continued to cross it knowing that he was frightened the dog was hit and drugged by a car. They driver of the car drugged the dog for at least ten feet before the dog has come from underneath the car. My friend that was with me witnesses an angel covering the dog with her wings that kept the dog alive. The dog got up and...

...While driving, there will always be distractions. Whether they’re noticeable or not, they are there. This includes the quick glance at the phone to see if mom called, the pizza that looks like a slice of heaven, the radio that plays the same catchy song five times, the annoying back seat driver, and the billboard of that new phone without a headphone jack. The simplest actions that force the driver to give their attention to something other than the road is a distraction. To prevent any distractions, a driver must stay focused and alert behind the wheel at all times. By ignoring distractions, drivers can make the Highway Transportation System safe for all users. Distracted driving is broken down into three subcategories: visual, manual,...

...WHY MEN NEED VISIONS AND DREAMS 1) God’s foundational key to Gods strategy for ruling earth from heaven is the male man. 2) God’s original purpose is to extend his Heavenly kingdom to Earth. He wanted to colonize earth with heaven; he wanted to extend his invisible kingdom to this visible earth. 3) God’s goal was to fill the earth with the culture of heaven. When a kingdom colonizes a territory, it fills the territory with its culture. 4) One of the great mistakes of the church is it has reversed God’s program. It preoccupies people to leave earth, when in fact the instruction was to occupy till He comes. 5) Man was never created to dominate other men, but to dominate earth. You and I were created to dominate the resources of earth in the area of gifting. God gave all of us dominion, not over people, not even over your wife. 6) Discovery of your purpose is the source of your personal leadership. Leadership has to do with self discovery than it has to do with leading people. True leaders never seek followers, followers are attracted to the gift of the leader. 7) Vision is a preview of your purpose. 8) Man is spirit and spirits have no gender. You’ll never find in the Bible a reference to a male/female spirit. God took the first man, and put him in a body, and the first body God made was a male. Man comes in two models: male and female. 9) God only made only 1-human from the soil and he never went back. Not even women came from the soil. Out of the male...

...resurrection from the death of sin, to the life of grace. It is all because of Jesus we have the right to the tree of life which give us eternal life, eternal joy, eternal peace, eternal happiness. Jesus is much more than The Prince of Life, He is the reigning King of Heaven……Amen! He wants to enrich your life. Look when Jesus was nailed to the cross our sins where nailed to the cross, when he arose from the dead, we arose with him (Gal 2:20). So what’s the problem? Why do we continue to dibble and dabble in sin, and then make up excuses, why we are still sinning before the living God of Israel? I’m talking about Pastors, Leaders, believers, Saints, Christians, church folks play too much. I’m not talking about someone making a mistake, doing something wrong and they truly did not mean to do it in their heart. I’m talking about those who say they are mature and know better but making excuse about their mess, like I’m grow, I’m not perfect, or I know Christ just like the next person, yall know what I’m talking about. Matthew 5:20………Except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of Scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven………Now that’s real! We should be leading the way to Heaven not to Hell, it’s like this someone is always watching you rather it’s your kids, someone else’s kids, a family member, a friend or a complete stranger, who’s not save or don’t know the Lord like you claim you do know him. The church has a hard time teaching...

...In Of Mice and Men John Steinbeck shows that on oneself’s way to the American Dream there will be distractions and ourselves can easily be derailed. For my song, I chose MKTO-American Dream.This social issue is shown in Of Mice And Men heavily throughout the book it seems as if John Steinbeck does not believe In the American dream. The social issue of the American dream is shown in the book Of Mice And Men by John Steinbeck. The evidence provided very early on in the beginning of the book. “There is a path through the willows and among the sycamores, a path beaten hard by boys coming down from the ranches to swim in the deep pool, and beaten hard by tramps who come wearily down from the highway in the evening to jungle-up near water” as you read the quote you are thinking about the American Dream. As the men went down to the river, they each had some sort of “American Dream”. We each have had dreams about the future of what we want to make of ourselves. I feel as if he said that relationships are distractions unless the said persons in a relationship with is helping Themselves achieve Thou goal/dream. Another quote to support this idea is, “Lennie watched him with wide eyes, and old Candy watched him too. Lennie said softly, "We could live offa the fatta the lan'." "Sure,"...

...king. The pilgrimage was important in the middle age because a pilgrimage is a journey of great moral or spiritual significance. In the middle ages, the pilgrimage was important since it was believed that if you prayed at the shrines you might be forgiven your sins and had more chance to heaven. Pilgrims visit Becket's shrine because it was rumored that when people were touched by his cloth they got cured from a variety of illnesses such as epilepsy, leprosy and blindness. The type of people who would have been pilgrims are those who have undertaken a physical journey often a very long and difficult one to a distant sacred place, for example, like the shrine. Going on a pilgrimage in the middle ages was a long and difficult journey. The costs involved were dependent on one pilgrimage, where one was going to stay and type of travel. Some of the Pilgrim routes were specific roads that pilgrims travelled on, where the road itself was a thing to experience for religious reasons. The route from London to the Becket Shrine in Canterbury was of this type, as was the Way of St. James. Long distance travelling in general was quite a dangerous activity, since cases of people being robbed along the highways were high. The pilgrims would travel in groups to enhance security. People that are pilgrimage would usually only carry what they needed, and would share with those who had little to...

...DNV planning IN A DECEPTIVELY simple essay entitled Earth Day and the War Against the Imagination, Pulitzer prize-winning poet and eco-essayist Gary Snyder says, "Real estate and business people like to argue that economic growth and development are inevitable." In what's become a landmark statement, he argues: "It is not selfish for any community or neighbourhood to try to find ways to check unwanted growth and expansion in its own backyard." And: "Those who try to shove growth down our throats are precisely the people who profit from it." An old English teacher like District of North Vancouver Mayor Richard Walton should appreciate this. As they say in the TV cop-shows, "Follow the money." Swelling density and slamming huge residential towers into other people's communities is a surefire strategy for the wealthy to grow very wealthy. The ownership of North America's professional sports teams includes a preponderance of real estate developers, and we know what it costs to buy one of these franchises and pay the all-star employees. Next time you spot one of those colossal holes being excavated for another highrise tower, remember the builder's maxim, "Where there's muck, there's money." Somewhere along the line while everyone was watching hockey reruns or Desperate Housewives, people in North Vancouver stopped caring about big residential growth the way they used to - the kind that's preparing to steamroll the district under its current developer-cosy, Talk Big, Do...

Among the many celebrations done by the Cebuano’s, is the so called “Sinulog Festival”. It’s the feast of Cebu’s Patron Saint, Senior Santo Nino, the child image of our Lord Jesus Christ. It’s a festival encounter of millions of devotees all over the world, who praised, believed and ask for His miraculous deeds to heal the sickness of someone they knew or their loved-ones and even of themselves. Enfranchised citizens of different state or even people of our own somehow believed that our culture is slowly fading because of the path that generation for today wants to take. Especially the young minds who completely engaged themselves in internet which can give them new things that inserts rapidly to their minds. But the continued growing number of people who came to witness the said occasion with festivities was I think enough answer as a response to those speculations declared. This is to prove that false crap shoots can’t break the tight bond that our culture handed over from generation to generation, that even the internet cannot surpass. In fact, Sinulog Festival unquestionably captured the hearts of people with different age, gender, beliefs, nationality and the like. It is sacred that no one can explain the warm fuzzies that one typically...

There's evil in the air and there's thunder in sky, and A killer's on the bloodshot streets. Oh and down in the tunnel where the deadly are rising, Oh I swear I saw a young boy down in the gutter, He was starting to foam in the heat. Oh baby you're the only thing in this whole world, that's pure and good and right. And wherever you are and wherever you go, there's always gonna be some light. But I gotta get out, I gotta break it out now, Before the final crack of dawn. So we gotta make the most of our one night together. When it's over you know, We'll both be so alone. Like...

On the night of the flight, my family and I, woke up at seven p.m, only to realize that our flight was at eight.

After we made it through the annoying...
