...Purchase becomes official in the United States Lewis begins his final preparations for the long journey ahead. In the summer of 1803 Lewis was constructing a boat in Pittsburgh for his journey across the American Northwest. When the construction of the boat is completed he goes down the Ohio River, recruiting at various stops and picking up, most notably, an old friend named William Clark who used to be a military captain who Meriwether Lewis appointed to be second in command on the trip. They make a final stop in St. Louis where they set up camp, called Camp Wood, on the eastern bank of the Mississippi river where they recruit and train more men. March 10, 1804 final ceremonies are held in St. Louis that show France transferring the Louisiana Purchase to the United States. This is the final event France has to do with the Louisiana Purchase, from then on out the territory is fully claimed by the United States.

...Transubstantiation by Christina Jordan Kenosha Center AL210 Theology: Discovering God’s Ways Honor Pledge: "As I develop in mind, body, and spirit, I pledge on my honor that I have not given, received, witnessed, nor have knowledge of unauthorized aid on this or any [assignment, quiz, paper, test]. “And as they were eating, he took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to them, and said, “Take; this is my body.”” This verse from Mark, Chapter 14, verse 22, among others, has triggered off many theological debates on what was happening at the Last Supper. Was this truly the Lord’s body that they were consuming? Did it change in substance, or merely in theory as a symbol of what Jesus was saying? Over the centuries, this topic has been debated by many of the great theologians of the times. Tertullian, Luther, Martyr and Aquintas, to name a few, have weighed in on the subject. Christian denominations, such as Catholicism and the Lutheran faith, have strong views on what happens with the celebration of the Eucharist. The Last Supper Jesus had with his disciples begun the process that we now know as the Eucharist, Holy Communion, and Holy Mass is one of the several sacraments. The Eucharist is the reenactment, so to speak, of the Last Supper, and is practiced in the Christian faith as an offering, or sacrifice. This happens differently depending on which faith one practices. The Catholic Church believes that once the bread and wine have been...

...Contents The Blues – Traditions and Inspirations Origin 2 Musical Format Development Classification Influence References Origin Blues is the name given to both a musical form and a music genre that originated in African-American communities of primarily the "Deep South" of the United States around the end of the 19th century from spirituals, work songs, field hollers, shouts and chants, and rhymed simple narrative ballads. The blues form, ubiquitous in jazz, rhythm and blues, and rock and roll is characterized by specific chord progressions, of which the twelve-bar blues chord progression is the most common. The blue notes that, for expressive purposes are sung or played flattened or gradually bent (minor 3rd to major 3rd) in relation to the pitch of the major scale, are also an important part of the sound. The origin of the term of was most likely derived from mysticism involving blue indigo, which was used by many West African cultures in death and mourning ceremonies where all the mourner's garments would have been dyed blue to indicate suffering. Blues has evolved from the unaccompanied vocal music and oral traditions of slaves imported from West Africa and rural blacks into a wide variety of styles and subgenres, with regional variations across the United States. The musical forms and styles that are now considered the "blues" as well as modern "country music" arose in the same regions during the 19th century in the southern United States. Recorded...

...Frédéric Bastiat The Law The Foundation for Economic Education, Inc. Irvington-on-Hudson, New York 10533 The Translation This translation of The Law was done by Dean Russell of The Foundation staff. His objective was an accurate rendering of Mr. Bastiat's words and ideas into twentieth century, idiomatic English. A nineteenth century translation of The Law, made in 1853 in England by an unidentified contemporary of Mr. Bastiat, was of much value as a check against this translation. In addition, Dean Russell had his work reviewed by Bertrand de Jouvenel, the noted French economist, historian, and author who is also thoroughly familiar with the English language. While Mr. de Jouvenel offered many valuable corrections and suggestions, it should be clearly understood that Dr. Russell bears full responsibility for the translation. The Law The law perverted! And the police powers of the state perverted along with it! The law, I say, not only turned from its proper purpose but made to follow an entirely contrary purpose! The law become the weapon of every kind of greed! Instead of checking crime, the law itself guilty of the evils it is supposed to punish! If this is true, it is a serious fact, and moral duty requires me to call the attention of my fellowcitizens to it. Life Is a Gift from God We hold from God the gift which includes all others. This gift is life — physical, intellectual, and moral life. But life cannot maintain itself alone. The Creator of life has entrusted...
