...the evidence for determining the date Acts was written. What indicators of historical reliability are found in Acts? Historically, the book of Acts is believed by three different schools of thoughts to have been written at least A.D. 62-70, 80-95 and last 115-130. Baur and his Tübingen School of thought date the Acts of Luke in as late as the middle of the second century. This view according to Dr. Archibald Thomas Robertson in Word Pictures in the New Testament asserts that this believe and dating of Acts has long since been abandoned because the Tübingen School held the second century to be the date of this late pamphlet as they termed it after the fashion of the Clementine Homilies. Considering Acts as the second volume to the Luke’s Gospel most scholars now date Acts in the 80s or a bit later according to Carson and Moo (p. 298). Some scholars put their estimation at about 80-95 A.D. because they believe the Acts shows signs of having been written some years after the first volume of Luke’s Gospel. However, if one took into comparing this assumption to historical evidence the time frame of 80-95 A.D. falls short of accuracy as one could see in Acts 18 under the leadership of a certain Claudius a Roman leader Christian Jews were expelled out of Rome; and prominent among these Christians were Aquila and his wife Priscilla; a time of about C. 49 which history has well before A.D. 60. Finally most scholars settled for dating Acts before A.D. 70 settling on A.D...

...the novel; we can confirm that Holden throughout the book is continuously tormented by the acts of these phonies who are superficial and hypocritical. Throughout the novel Holden meets various phonies who commit phony acts. One such case is when he first arrived at the Edmont Hotel and he saw these couples squirting highballs water at each other. Another case is of him witnessing another phony act is when he goes on a date with Sally Hayes but they bump into one of Sally’s phony friend, George. This part of the book really highlights Holden’s main problem with phonies and this part killed me. It really did. The way phonies will interact with each other that is. The main problem that Holden finds with the meeting between George and Sally though is how he casually intrudes on their date and then doing what phonies do he has a phony conversation with Sally and then afterwards he finally leaves only so he can meet a couple of phonies over cocktails. The way they talk to each other and even what they talked about was pretty phony too; how they both acted like they were genuinely interested in each other and what people they knew and didn’t care about who lived at specific places. It really killed me. This also reminds me of another phony moment in the novel such as when Holden goes to Ernie’s and is surrounded by phonies and even bumps into a phony he knows called Lillian and also her date Commander Blop. At Ernie’s Holden sees and meets many phonies including Ernie himself as he...

The United Nations convention on the rights of the child (1989) legislation set out the lowest acceptable standard on the treatment of every child. There are three main concepts of the United Nations convention on the rights of the child (1989). The first concept states that the best way for a child to be raised is by their parents. The second concept says that it is unacceptable for a child to be abused or neglected and the third concept says that the authorities must involve themselves to stop any harm occurring to a child or young person and they will need to support any child or young person that has been harmed. This legislation will help to safeguard and protect children and young people through the three main concepts.

...Copyright Extension Act Anne Nunes May 13, 2015 Submitted to Professor Ashley Minton Summer I 2015 BUL2241 Business Law I Indian River State College Copyright Extension Act The Copyright Extension Act, also known as the Mickey Mouse protection act was passed in 1998. A copyright is defined as “an intangible right granted by statute to the author or originator of certain literary or artistic productions (Miller & Hollowell, 2014, p. 84). The purpose of this act is to protect “books, records, films, artworks, architectural plans, menus, music videos, and product packaging” (Miller & Hollowell, 2014, p. 85), from being built upon to make new creations. For individuals the act gives copyright protection for their life plus 70 years, for publishing houses the copyright is 95 years from the date of publication or 120 years from the date of creation, whichever comes first. The Copyright Extension Act, is also know as the Mickey Mouse protection act because as Mickey Mouse’s first expiration date for the copyright protection neared, Walt Disney pressed for changes to the Copyright Act. In 1976, the United States congress revised the act to change it from a maximum protection of 56 years including extensions, to the life of the author plus 50 years. Which in turn guaranteed protection for Mickey through 2003. Again, in 1998 when Mickey’s protection time was running out, the United States Congress changed the protection time to the current terms of, life of the author...
