...Who was the man who, wounded during the Civil War still unimaginably but miraculously survived it? The man, leading the famous charge against the terrible foes at the Battle Gettysburg, and drove them back? This Man was Lawrence Joshua Chamberlain born on September 8th 1828, in a beautiful and quaint town Called Brewer in Maine. He was the oldest. Raised on good family values Lawrence and his four siblings were taught morality, cheerfulness, and education. Cleverly his father “Joshua” and his mother “Sarah” named him after the great Commodore James Lawrence who had the famous saying “Don’t give up the ship.” As a boy Lawrence loved playing outside, he loved traveling out into the backwoods of Maine and loved galloping across open fields on his horse. During his early life we will see what great deeds he did before the war, and then at Gettysburg you will see what courageous acts he did for the Union army. Finally his later life, when the War Between the States ends and what happened after the war and what he accomplished. Joshua’s mother and father had very different views on what their son should do with his life, which to most parents was normal; however, on one side his father wanted him to honor and serve to what he had done with his life, meaning going into the military. His mother, however, wanted her son to go to a Christian College. He agreed with his mother. When he was thoughtfully and wisely thinking about where he was going, he finally decided on Bowdoin...

...Integration of Faith and Learning 2 Natalie Collins Liberty University Abstract The book of Joshua details when God commanded Joshua to lead the Israelites into Jericho, and other cities. The position Joshua had to take can be compared to those that take place in marketing management. Marketing management takes place when an individual takes the necessary steps to achieve desired responses from others in business. Marketing is not only about selling but more importantly it is about knowing your customers so the service you are offering them sells itself. This paper will analyze the scripture Joshua 1:9, as well as the book in comparison to marketing management. We can compare the story when Joshua led the Israelites to the Promised Land to the concept of marketing management. In Joshua 1:9 God says, “"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." Within the context of marketing management this scripture tells us God wanted Joshua to be strong, and have courage in all that he did and wherever he went. In order to be a good leader in business, or in this case war, a person should hold these characteristics. Joshua had to be strong not just physically but also mentally so he would be able to tackle any challenge that he was faced with the help of God. To have courage requires mental and moral strength to help you make the right decisions. Challenging yourself and...

...The genre of Joshua is narrative. The two major themes in Joshua are the possession of the land and the covenant. Key Events: The major events of the book of Joshua are essentially separated into three different parts, including: the conquest of the land, the division of the land, and the farewells. During the “conquest of the land,” God orders Joshua to take possession of the land and warns him to keep faith with the Covenant. After crossing the Jordan by God’s divine intervention, the Israelites begin conquering the land by first taking Jericho, and then Ai. After some mishap with the Gibeonites in the south, the Israelites overtake Hazor in the north with “Yahweh’s” help. The second division of the book of Joshua was “the division of the land.” The division of the land essentially put people in literal possession of the land. The land divisions consisted of land east and west of the Jordan River, and also cities of refuge and the cities of the Levites. Lastly, in Joshua’s “farewells,” Joshua tells the Israelite leaders that they need to remain faithful to the covenant and to Yahweh. He also tells reminds the whole land of Israel of God’s great works. Joshua then performs the last covenant ceremony and sends the people to their land. The book of Joshua emphasized how important it is to be faithful to the covenant. Key characters: God, Joshua, Rahab, Achan, Eleazar, Phinehas, and Caleb. Leviticus The genre of Leviticus is law. The major theme...

Later on during the day they get a tip saying that they found a abandoned car in flames but nothing was to be found just a identification by the name of Joseph Greene. Detectives search into their data base and find his address and send a warrant to go and arrest him . When questioning him , they find that Joseph Greene also has a twin by the name of Joshua Greene . making this two suspects toward the crime scene . Joseph has not had any sort of communication with Joshua since a week when they got in a argument about Joshuas’ sexual oriention since they have always had dated woman their whole life. Police went out to search for Joshua at his residence where he was not found but what they discover is something gruesome, they found a trail of blood leading from the back yard all the way to his room . Therefore, he had around 5 decapitated heads all victims which were females in a table that had a stand to them but all had no hair just wigs. He had decapitated their heads with a chain saw which was also found in the crime scene. Body parts where found in Joshuas’ fridge were he saved them as “trophies”. He was never to be heard of but people never thought of Mr. Greene as having a “double life” turning into a...

...Panel 1: Joshua Louis, 7/9/15, Ms. Parker, Freedom Pamphlet! Panel 2: The Declaration of Independence will always be recognized as the most important document in pursuit of freedom. This document stands as the reminder of a people’s struggle to Claim and win their independence against tyranny and unlawful acts. Historical experts continue to study the wording, structure and history of this document even today. While every American should be familiar with this most important document, many are not. Those people probably thought their ancestors one day woke up with the same rights they have, but that's not the case. They must acknowledge the hardships and sacrifices their ancestors went through to give them freedom. Panel 3: The first principle of popular sovereignty underlies the entire Declaration of Independence. It begins with the huge "We the People". Unlike most of world history and governments of the time, the Americans proclaimed that the people were sovereign, not King or Parliament. Popular sovereignty comes from natural rights, granted by "the Creator". As a consequence, no legitimate government may exist without the "consent of the governed Panel 4: Based on the Declaration of Independence, It begins with a statement that all men are created equal, that this is 'self evident', that everyone is entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. (John Locke originated this phrase as 'life liberty and estate', estate being more than just property), and when...

...正如你所看见的，转基因食品正在大批量出现在我们的生活中。关于转基因食品是否安全的争论从来没有停过。似乎这中间从来没有余地.作为平民，我们该有什么态度？转基因食物在主要大国又是什么情形呢？作者作为一个有责任心的学生，在不牵扯任何利益团体的情况下,提交这篇报告。我不敢也没能力给出结论，只希望给读者展示一些事实与数据。我处在美国东北的伊利诺伊州（本州大豆产量在各州之内列第一位。据统计,本州农产总值仅次于加州,列第二位。），转基因大面积种植。我采访了许多农民，希望给你真实的第一手资料 转基因生物，或“转基因生物”，是通过生物技术的基因拼接技术（也称为遗传工程或GE）创建的植物或动物。这个实验技术融合的DNA来自不同物种，创造植物，动物，细菌和病毒的基因不能在自然界中或在传统的杂交育种不稳定的组合 作为支持者说“没有科学证据能证明转基因食品对人类健康有害的。”世界卫生组织医疗保健机构，大部分研究机构和科学团体的大多数国家也支持这一观点。 有时正如克里斯贝尔（马顿·克里斯贝尔（Maarten J. Chrispeels）是美国科学院院士、国际知名生物学家 )所说，偶尔会有科学家发表论文声称转基因食品会危害人类健康，这类文章一经发表，就会有部分媒体、博客和反转基因组织抓住机会大肆宣传。“可遗憾的是，当这些科技期刊发表的论文被撤稿或勘误时，上述机构却缄默不语了。” 2012年，法国分子生物学家Seralini等人在《食品和化学毒理学》上发表了一篇成果，称除草剂草甘膦和抗草甘膦玉米都会在小鼠身上诱发癌症，旋即被电视明星、新闻记者和反转基因组织作为转基因食品有毒的证据广泛宣传。 然而，许多学者在读过此文后感到震惊，期刊编辑部也收到了大量列举该文章问题的信件。4个月后，期刊发布了撤稿声明，同时发布了领域内多位卓越科学家撰写的“读者来信”，详细指出了该文存在的缺陷。 而来自反对者的声音主要质疑转基因作物的安全性是否能够得到保障：转基因食品才10多年历史，10年无害能否说明让人吃50年、100年也无害？ 对此，中国的“杂交水稻之父”、中国工程院院士袁隆平也承认，对于转基因作物之所以存在安全性顾虑，主要是有些转基因作物特别是抗虫的转基因品种，含有一种物质叫做BT毒蛋白。由于虫子吃了BT毒蛋白可以被毒死，因此长期摄入该物质对人是否有害很难说。 较中立的观点是，转基因食品具有的非期望效应。由于基因的插入是随机的，无法精确控制，因此可能会产生预料外的效果，例如引起某种有用基因沉默，从而导致某种营养成分的减少，或者激发某种抗营养因子水平的增加。 由于转基因技术打破了物种间的界限，确实有可能将新的有毒物质或者过敏原引入传统食物链中。因此，在进行转基因产品的研发以及政府审批过程中，都要对新引入的基因及表达产物、获得的新品种进行严格的食用安全性评价，最大限度地减少危害发生，保护人类健康和生态安全。 转基因的支持者主要有两个原因。一是，为了应对全球人口增长带来的粮食紧张，提高粮食产量。解决发展中国家的粮食缺乏、饥饿和营养不良问题。 二是，转基因技术使农作物具有抗旱、抗霜、抗酷热、抗病虫害、耐除草剂，可以减少化学农药的使用。 ISAAA在年度报告中分析了转基因作物对环境的影响。报告指出，2011年全球转基因作物的种植节约了相当于47300公斤的杀虫剂，高产的转基因作物节省了相当于1.09亿公顷的耕地，同时其效果相当于减少了约230亿公斤的温室气体排放量。通常，种植转基因作物不需要大面积野外田...

...[pic] “Did the development of a middle-class ‘public sphere’ significantly alter artistic practice during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries?” In The Structural transformation of the Public Sphere[1], Jürgen Habermas describes how this area in social life, both separated from the “private sphere” and the “sphere of public authority”, where people can get together and freely discuss and identify societal problems and trough that even influence political action, has not always existed. Its creation was part of a long process that had its peak at the turn of the eighteenth century. He also explains how, although this phenomenon concerns the whole of the European society, the British case stands out. The genesis of the public sphere is first of all associated to an economical factor. As a result from the modernization of the economy, based upon a systematic use of public credit and the free circulation of goods and capital, it is especially the city of London that expanded at a remarkable speed with the sudden and fast development of merchant banking and insurance, as well as warehousing and trading. This new horizon of possibilities on terms of wealth and independence unfolds simultaneously to important shifts in the political arena. After years of blood spill trough civil war, which ended with the execution of King Charles I, a constitutional monarchy was finally established. The idea of a freer, more horizontal conception of social relations started...

...Joshua Oldham 14 April 2015 GEN 200 Final Essay As I went through this class this semester we discussed things from Time Management Skills, to Plagiarism, from identifying Personal Learning styles to using sources in a paper. I was reminded that even academically I need to set achievable goals to achieve bigger goals. Doing this will lead to much better success, and will help in my success in my career as I carry on the same routine there. So as I took this class I came up with a few educational goals, two of those goals were to graduate with a total Grade Point Average of 3.5, and to do my best to graduate a semester early. I also came up with a couple career goals, one is that wherever I go teach that I have an average of 3.0 grade from my classes and full comprehension of what I teach. I also want to become a head coach of a High School football team within five years of my graduation date. I also was reminded, not just by the lesson, but with misuse of time, that Time Management Skills are not just important in my career and life, but also extremely important in my academic success. The writing process can help you advance in your education and your career by giving you the confidence to present yourself in writing. The writing process is quite useful in a career aspect. Knowing how to use the writing process can give you tools to advance in your career. For example, a well written resume can mean the difference between getting an interview and not. Also...

This story acts as an introduction into telling us about his journey into the bizarre world of competitive memorizing. The event, Foer says, includes a “bunch of guys and a few girls of widely varying ages and hygienic upkeep memorizing hundreds of random numbers by looking at them just once” (TED talk). Foer investigated a competitive memorizing competition that is held every spring in New York City called the United States Memory Championship. He explained that the competitors were memorizing hundreds of random numbers by just looking at them once, and remembering the countless...
