...First Peter is about how he wrote a letter to help the Christians that were getting persecuted in their land. He wanted to help them keep their faith strong and help them get through these struggles. In the next couple paragraphs I will explain the main points of 1 Peter. The first chapter of 1st Peter is about how God has given us his undeserved mercy. He sent his only son Jesus to die for mankind and forgive us of our sins. When God sent Jesus, Jesus made disciples that weren’t serving themselves but they were serving God because they knew what he had done and was going to do. First Peter: 1:6-7 says “In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.” This we know, we should purify our ever actions and thoughts because God has been merciful to us. Christians should live as 1 Peter: 2:16-17 states it “Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves. Show proper respects to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God, and honor the emperor.” That’s how we should live but we tend not to. We should act the way God has intended us to so that we can show unbelievers that we are good and possibly convert them. Don’t act and dress fancy to impress act and...

...Saint Peter’s BasilicaWhy is Saint Peter’s Basilica such a significant symbol within Catholicism?Designed principally by Donato Bramante, Michelangelo, Carlo Maderno and Gian Lorenzo Bernini, St. Peter's is the most renowned work of Renaissance architecture and remains one of the largest churches in the world. The extensive history of this pilgrimage dates back to the times of Jesus, and one of his most praised apostles, Saint Peter. After the crucifixion of Jesus in the second quarter of the 1st century AD, it is recorded in the Biblical book of the Acts of the Apostles that one of his twelve disciples, Simon, known as Saint Peter, took a leadership position among Jesus' followers and was of great importance in the founding of the Christian Church. | | | Saint Peter’sAbout UsWe are Saint Peter’sContact UsPhone: Email: Saint@Peters.com Web: Saintpeters/peters | | | Saint peter’s basilica | | | | | | | Saint peter’s basilica | A Pilgrimage of faith and discovery | | Why is mass so special?Attending Mass at Saint Peter's is something that certain Catholics take as a duty, whilst some Catholics take it as a privilege, and for others, the visit simply connects their spirituality with Jesus and enhances their faith as a whole.

...Peter Drucker is generally regarded as the godfather of modern management. Drucker’s major contribution to management is not a single idea, but rather an entire body of work that has one massive advantage: virtually all of it is fundamentally right. The third question in “The Five Most Important Questions by Peter Drucker” is ‘What Does Your Customer Value?’ You cannot arrive at the right definition of results without significant input from your customers. (Drucker, 1998) What satisfies their needs, wants and aspirations is so complicated that it can only be answered by customers themselves. (Economy, 2013) There are no unfair customers, at least in terms of their own reality and situation. Customer needs are material and psychological well-being. Wants are when, where and how service is supplied. Aspirations are preferred long-term outcomes. What does the customer value, is the least often asked question yet it is most important to know. Providing value to the customers includes making products or delivering services that offer solutions to their problems. The better the solution is the more value that can be produced. (Kloeber, 2011) People are so convinced that they are doing the right things. Instead of asking ‘Does it deliver value to our customers?’ they ask, ‘Does it fit our rules?’ And that not only reduces performance but also destroys vision and dedication. Methods of understanding what customers value involve collecting or analyzing customer information, gathering...

All the personality, all the wisdom is here to make your work dramatically more effective. There’s nothing better. It’s like having Peter at your side.” —Bob Buford, author, Halftime and Finishing Well, and founding chairman, Peter F.

This helpful revision of his classic Self-Assessment Tool offers managers and leaders in every sector—nonprofit, business, and government—a useful guide to figuring out what’s needed, why it matters, and how to make it work. At a time when the need for more effective management and more ethical leadership are the moral equivalent of global warming, Drucker’s common sense and courage should be modeled by everyone who cares about doing things right and doing the right thing.” —Ira A.

...Peter the Great By: Sundeep Vaswani Pyotr Alexeevich, or Peter I the Great, was born on May 30, 1672 to Tsar Alexi the First and his second wife Natalya Kryillovna Naryshkina. He started out sharing ruling power with his half-brother Ivan, and gained full power to the throne when he was 24. Peter the Great was a good ruler because he tried to modernize, or westernize, Russia with his government, military and domestic reforms, even though some of these reforms stuck when he died. Peter thought that the government was in a dire need of reform. He tried to reform all aspects of the government, from local government, to the provincial government, all the way to the central government (Site 4, Paragraph 1). He first started with the local government. He tried to limit the power of the provincial government by letting the towns elect own officials, collect revenue and stimulate trade. The towns were governed by the elective board, which replaced the old system of sheriffs. (Site 4, paragraph 2). To improve the provincial government, Peter, in 1702, divided Russia into 8 guberniia, which was led by a gubanator, who had full power of his own guberniia and had to answer to Peter. Each guberniia was then broken down into districts called uzeda. By 1718, the number of guberniia increased to twelve and was broken down into forty uzedas. (Site 4, paragraph 3). When it came to the central government, he had a council, which was broken down in 40 departments. However, this system was...

...The Drucker Assignment Kenny Astrianti In order for a business to grow, or even to stay alive, it will need to be innovative. Especially in this era of globalization, where competition between companies is getting more extreme and technology is vastly changing. Most people will agree that it is important, for business and individual, to stay innovative. Chapter 20 “Principles Of Innovations” enlightens me the most for several reasons. Firstly, although the chapter was first published in 1985, Drucker’s concept on how to innovate can still be applied today. Secondly, the concept introduced in this chapter will be incredibly beneficial for me to build my career, and to be a better individual, later on. And thirdly, the chapter topic “The Dos” really helps me to acknowledge the things that have to be done to be a performer in innovation. Coming from Indonesia that still struggles with poverty and unemployment, I fully realized the need to be innovative, however, I always questions the on how to innovate and this chapter really improved my knowledge to identify the source of innovations and what to do with it. 27-years after the chapter was published, Drucker principles of innovation can still be applied on today’s business environment. Drucker’s explanation on the sources of innovation gave me a different point of view on how to innovate. Prior to reading this chapter, I thought some people, like Steve Jobs, are born with the innovation DNA because I have not understand on how...

...Peter the Great was one of the most famous czars in Russia, ruling from 1689 through 1725. Born in Moscow on June 9, 1672, Peter the Great was able to accomplish the incredible task of modernizing Russia. Due to his amazing talents, Russia was one of Europe’s leading countries during his reign. From wars to the multiple reforms he made, Peter the Great was able to successfully meet his primary goal: to expand and westernize Russia. Without him, Russia would have continued to be isolated and old-fashioned compared to the rest of Europe. Peter the Great’s interest in war was greatly beneficial to Russia. Through most of the wars that Peter was involved in, he was able to acquire and create features that helped Russia prosper. For example, from 1700 through 1721, Russia was involved in its first major European conflict, the Great Northern War. As a result, Peter the Great had to make multiple preparations. He needed troops for his army, this meant that all of the new soldiers had to be trained and armed. A fleet for the Baltic and Black Seas was necessary when looking for a victory. These ships needed Muscovites, who needed special training, to sail them. Once accomplished, Peter the Great was able to defeat Charles XII of Sweden in Ukraine. Through the Peace of Naystadt in 1721, he acquired the Baltic coastline. It was there that Peter planned to open warm water ports. These ports led to a growth in manufacturing through the companies created by the state (Jay 1). Then in 1722...

...James Crarer 12EUC709 - The Russian Empire The Russian Empire Essay “In what ways did Peter the Great’s reforms transform the concept of the Empire?” Peter the Great’s reforms are widely considered to be one of the most defining moments in Russian history. Beginning as an effort to modernize the country’s military, as the era progressed the reforms expanded, instigating economic development, governmental modernization, intellectual reorientation and social reconstruction.1 The injection of European practices into Russia arguably set the precedence for the onslaught of a top down modernization that has since been a trait of Russian state development, as well as illuminating the beginning of the transition into a form of Russian modernity. The geographical historian Dennis Shaw, reiterates this by suggesting Peter exposed Russia “to the ideas of the Renaissance and the Scientific Revolution. Building on the achievements of his father, Peter launched a thoroughgoing reform or modernization of his realm with the aim of transforming it into a major European state.”2 In order to comprehend this transformation of the Russian empire, an appreciation of meaning of the term ‘empire’ is required. Stephen Howe suggests that ‘an empire is a large, composite, multiethnic or multinational political unit, usually created by conquest, and divided between a dominant center and subordinate, sometimes far distant, peripheries.’3 While Howe’s definition provides a coherent basis from which...

...where George and Mary Darling's preparations to attend a party are disrupted by the antics of the boys, John and Michael, acting out a story about Peter Pan and the pirates, which was told to them by their older sister, Wendy. Their father, who is fed up with the stories that have made his children less practical, angrily declares that Wendy has gotten too old to continue staying in the nursery with them, and it's time for her to grow up and have a room of her own. That night, they are visited in the nursery by Peter Pan himself, who teaches them to fly with the help of his pixie friend, Tinker Bell, and takes them with him to the island of Never Land. A ship of pirates is anchored off Never Land, commanded by Captain Hook with his sidekick, Mr. Smee. Hook boldly plots to take revenge upon Peter Pan for cutting off his hand, but he trembles when the crocodile that ate it arrives; it now stalks him, hoping to taste more. Hook also forms a plan to find Peter's hideout using the knowledge of Tiger Lily. The crew's restlessness is interrupted by the arrival of Peter and the Darlings. The children easily evade them, and, despite a trick by jealous Tinker Bell to have Wendy killed, they meet up with the Lost Boys: six lads in animal-costume pajamas, who look to Peter as their leader. Tinker Bell's treachery is soon found out, and Peter banishes her "forever" (though she is eventually forgiven). John and Michael set off with the Lost Boys to find the island's Indians, who instead capture...

...Deconstructivism, in the Work of Peter Eisenman Art and Architecture ABSTRACT Deconstructivism is the packaging of ideas emerging from Modernism, Post modernism, Postavant-garde and Poststructuralism, to create a new architectural fashion. A Deconstructivist idea, an idea regarding both art and architecture, seperates, severes, breaks, fragments, but that at the same time, reconstitutes the bits and pieces gained in the process into a comprehensive principle, a controlled chaos. Just like any movement, the effect of Deconstruction on both art and architecture is somehow similar. Comparing 2 pieces, one artistic and the other architectural, you can see how art and architecture are closely related and affected by one another. The thing that arouses the debate "Is Architecture an art form?". It is important to mention that in 1984, with the construction of the first deconstructivist project "Parc de la Villette", Deconstructivism first became art. Going back to the origins of Deconstruction, it is a philosophy discussed by the French philosopher Jaques Derrida who had a big impact on architects and artists. Derrida was a friend of architect Peter Eisenman, which made the latter a pioneer in Deconstructionism. Eisenman drew some philosophical bases from the literary movement Deconstruction, and collaborated directly with Derrida on some projects. He is known for his strong interest in architecture theory; architecture as a conceptual, cultural, and intellectual enterprise...
