...Old Testament Bible Dictionary Project: Exodus / Aaron / Sinai Exodus is the second book of the five books, known as the Pentateuch or Torah of the Old Testament, dating back to 1445 BC. In the Hebrew Bible it is referred to as Shemoth and the English designation was taken from the Septuagint title, Exodus. Jewish and Christian tradition has believed Moses to be the author, however, controversy arose in the 19th century. It is now thought that it could go back as far as the 6th century during Babylonian exile that the first draft occurred known as the Yahwist. Some key themes, purposes, events, and personalities in Exodus is Moses was born, Moses chosen to lead the Israelites out of Egyptian slavery, and the Ten Commandments where written on two tablets by the hand of God himself. At the birth of Moses Pharaoh feared the growth rate of the Hebrews and ordered all male Hebrew children to be thrown into the Nile. Moses’s mother hid him for three months but when she could no longer hide Moses she constructed an ark and placed it by the river bank. Moses was found by Pharaoh’s own daughter, which she had compassion for Moses, and later adopted him. Later when Moses was 40 years of age (40 years in the wilderness) he encountered God through a burning bush. God spoke to Moses through the burning bush telling him that he was chosen to lead his people, the Israelites, out of Egyptian slavery. The center account master piece regarding Moses is the events that took place at...

...again with an Emilio Aguinaldo biopic entitled "El Presidente", an infinitely trickier film to pull off, scope and exposition-wise. If E.R.'s previous film focuses mainly on gangland altruism, "El Presidente" is all about patriotic resilience amidst imperialism, and it definitely shows on the film's abundant dose of sentimentalism. And if E.R. seems tailor-made for the role of Asiong Salonga (after all, he has already played Asiong in the '90s film "Asiong Salonga: Hari ng Tondo"), he seems feverishly out of place in this whole historical drama, especially when he's surrounded by character actors that are ten times more talented than him. Now do not get me wrong, when I think of a more suitable and relatively bankable actor to play Aguinaldo, I can't really think of anyone save for Ejercito himself (as of the moment, that is). Except for his bulldog-ish cheeks, Ejercito nicely fits the title role specifically because of his relative mass appeal and sense of authority. But then, somebody has seemingly forgotten to remind him that "El Presidente" is, after all, a film and not a theatrical play. With his repetitively oratorical hand gestures and monotonous line deliveries, despite of the stature of the person he's playing, E.R. is easily dwarfed by his co-actors in the film, specifically Cesar Montano, whose brief but strong turn as Andres Bonifacio is a mild cause for celebration. Except for his hair that's anachronistically gelled upwards, Cesar Montano's...

...Faith plays a big role in times of trial because it gives someone a fighting force behind conquering whatever they are going through. In the articles read in class, through all of the times of trial, faith came shining through the storm. In the article “The Making, and Unmaking, of a Child Soldier” by Ishmael Beah, Ish becomes a child soldier and goes through years of death and killing without even really knowing it. One day on his road to recovery he started befriending a nurse named Esther. At first he did not want to hear a word she said, but she soon started to grow on him; “At first I detested her intrusions. But slowly I came to appreciate them, even looked forward to them. It was like at the center; most boys found a staff member whom they eventually began to trust. Mine was Esther.” (Beah-9). Ish’s family had been killed when he was a boy and he had nobody for a family, he fought for himself and had no one. So when Esther came along he naturally did not trust her but it took faith to branch out and connect, and after he did he became reunited with his uncle. Another example of faith is in the article “Rwandan Genocide Survivor…” by Bob Simon. A woman by the name of Immaculee hid out in a tiny bathroom for three months with six other women. Reading the paper chills to the bone about her experience and the fear she had of being found. When Bob asks Immaculee how they escaped she told them that “‘We stood up first of all, never really much standing up. I remember...

...Stakeholders List The Athlete: * The driving force for many athletes is the drive to better themselves to be in their best shape possible. So athletes who choose not to dope, choose not to be in their strongest shape (minus the possible side effects of doping) and go against their motto. Documentary-ish: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPnT1ZSXfaU * This video basically follows this body builder around as he talks about steroids and body building. * This video shows how athletes feel like they are not performing their best if they choose to not use steroids. * This video also shows how body builders felt when they found out their role models (Sylvester Stallone, Schwarzenegger) * Athletes who choose not to dope fall into conventional thinking as they abide to the regulations of the sport, rather than the outcomes made possible by winning. If an athlete chooses not to dope and loses to someone who does, they directly fall into conventional thinking. Post conventional thinking would be if the athlete dopes despite the regulations, wins, and brings home wealth to his benefactors. This thinking is considered utilitarian and can be considered rights based if his opponents doped as well. * As evidenced in Lance Armstrong’s case, he was able to dope for years and received the benefits of winning. This suggests two things. * Doping can be done successfully without the consequences of getting caught. * Lance lives the life of a very successful...

...so when you’re under drinking age really all there is to do is go to school and play sports (it is Texas after all). My sport of choice was volleyball, I played for a total of 6 years, four of which were spent on a national touring team. I also played throughout middle school and soon became my coach’s favorite because I brought treats to practice and during our very first game I served 22 points in a row. Not to toot my own horn here, but I was really good, like considering college scholarships at twelve years old good. Needless to say, my coaches were very disappointed when I told them I was moving to LA to become an actor. Acting was something I was introduced to by my fifth grade drama teacher, Ms. Amestoy. I quickly fell in love with the idea of being able to entertain and make people laugh. My family found a local LA talent scout in Texas and we, being my brothers and I, began...

...A 64-oz soda, contains about 800 kcal, which is nearly 10 times the size of the original Coca-Cola, with calories equivelent to over 1/3 of the energy requirement for a large portion of the population. The consumption of fast food mose definitely contributes to the soaring caloric intake, likley due to the "supersizing" of menu items. When McDonalds was new-ish, they only offered one size of frech fries, which is now considered their small, also being 1/3 the weight of the larget size that was available in 2001, but has very likely increased over these recent years. Since the 1999, the largest size drink at McDonalds is nearly 1/3 larger than the large.

Interestingly he disclosed that the normal development of the gut community (of a baby born naturally) at first resembles the mother’s vaginal bacterial community then gradually changes over the following two years to resemble the adult faecal bacterial community. But, if the baby was born by CS, the bacterial community initially resembles the skin...

...glance: from colonialism to industrialization, from political institutions to geography, corruption and so on. But they are extremely interesting to look at if you want to better understand how so many countries are where they are today. Each cause is rooted in a radically different phenomenon and each needs a specific solution. Heritage is unquestionably an essential factor among the causes of poverty. Colonization & slavery Most countries that started their modern history with great inequalities evolved into societies that often maintained such pattern of biased wealth distribution. And conversely for countries that began with more or less equal societies. So, countries that experienced colonization and slavery often had trouble getting rid of the inherited institutions and discrimination. Others like Canada or the US on the other hand have been doing much better since then. In the case of colonized countries such as Brazil, South Africa or the Caribbean islands, the remaining white population often inherited ownership of capital and means of production once the country became independent. “Poverty is the consequence of plunder. Behind every single form of modern poverty, you find the use of force.” (Dr. Oscar Guardiola-Rivera) The colonial influence 6 The role of resources and geography The former colonies in Latin America were exploited to export their fancy mineral (e.g. gold & iron ore) and agricultural resources.

...Make up, distributed by many different companies with a lot of brands, is advertised an extreme amount of times in different areas like a store's wall, magazine ads, and the most popular television commercials. Drugstore make up seems to be the most advertised on television, and the two most advertised make up brand is Maybelline New York and Almay. Both of which are very popular and favorite brands of consumers, come up with so many different types of products for each feature of the women's face. Both brands also come up with really good and distinct commercials to promote their products, and though each distribution is a competitor, they are equally popular and sell. While Almay successfully advertises their products by using descriptive words, a simple background, and a tranquil, mood; Maybelline also successfully promotes their products by using different objects to symbolize their description, creating such edgy and fierce scenery for the set of the commercials. Currently, all of the commercials for Almay have the same actress to promote the makeup which is Kate Hudson. She is the voice behind the commercial and uses descriptive words to portray the makeup, which not only draws the consumer’s attention to give into the makeup, but also makes the product sound that it is a promising good quality. A cover up made to appeal to the beauties who don’t get enough beauty sleep, is advertised with its name, Almay Wake-up Make-Up. Hudson describes this cover up to have “hydrating...
