...Jehovah's Witnesses is a group[->0] with more than seven million members throughout the world. They believe God[->1] is about to end the present system of life in the world, with its crime, violence, sickness and death, and replace it with his Kingdom which will bring about peace for all humans who live by Bible[->2] standards. Most of the religion's beliefs are based on the Bible and these beliefs were taught by Charles Taze Russell, a preacher who started a Bible study group in Pennsylvania[->3], USA[->4] in 1876, and later started publishing a religious magazine called The Watchtower[->5]. Many of those beliefs, especially about who God is and what his plans are for humans and the earth, are different to what is taught in mainstream Christian churches. Jehovah's Witnesses believe that only 144,000 people will go to heaven and that the remaining people who obey God will live forever[->6] on a paradise[->7] Earth[->8]. They do not believe that God is a Trinity[->9], and teach that when people die, they remain in their grave until Jesus Christ[->10] resurrects them after God's Kingdom, or government, is ruling over earth. Witnesses are best known for preaching[->11] their beliefs from door-to-door and in other public places, and offering their magazines, The Watchtower and Awake! They are also well known for refusing to join armies and refusing blood transfusions. In 1870 a young clothing shop owner named Charles Taze Russell heard an Adventist[->12] preacher explain that...

...Wiki as a Delivery Tool in Organizations Student’s name Instructor’s name Course Date Wiki: Definition According to Grace, P. L. (2009), a wiki is a web application that allows for a collaborative modification, deletion and extension of stricture and content. In a typical type of wiki, a text is written by using a simplified markup language or a rich text editor. With a wiki being a type of a content management system, it tends to differ from blogs or other systems of the same type. The difference comes in where the content of a blog is created without a specific leader or owner. For a wiki, it has a little implicit structure. Its implicit structure allows it allows the structure to come out in a way in which the user needs it to be. Even though wikis have existed for so long, they have started to take off in organizations and businesses recently. Just like the Web did after creating its place in the corporate world, wikis have gone through a period of fierce competition, wild growth, and inappropriate usage. Despite all that, wikis have been used widely in organizations. Wikis have been used by organizations as the simplest online databases. The wiki software is basically created with a purpose of managing the site contents of an organization. Product that allows for creation of a wiki The recent innovations in sensor and mobile technologies have allowed for the creation of a digital representation of any physical entity as well as its parameters...

...WORLD WAR I DEFFINATIONS Part 1 Europe was keen for a war, and after the assassination of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, the heir of the throne of Austria-Hungary in Sarajevo, Serbia, was the major trigger – or excuse – for the outbreak of the war. The assassinator was Gavrilo Princip, a member of the nationalistic Serbian group “Black Hand”. Ferdinand’s assassination resulted that Austria-Hungary gave Serbia an impossible ultimatum. This also resulted to the “July Crisis”, which was a diplomatic crisis among the major powers of Europe in the summer of 1914. A month after the assassination, Austria-Hungary declared war. The First World was about to begin. Before the outbreak of the war, a lot of things happened around in Europe. First the German Empire got united in 1871 by Bismarck, and this large and second most powerful country was desperate to become the most powerful country in Europe. This new country was late in the race for colonies, and they wanted a “Place in the Sun”. The new German ruler, Kaiser Wilhelm II, who was married to Augusta Victoria of Schleswig-Holstein, had a dream about having a massive navel like the British. Britain saw this like a threat, and decided to build Dreadnought, a fast and very dangerous boat. Alfred von Tirpitz was considered as the founder of the German navy. Other countries like Russia was also interested in the Balkans, which would be strategic important for the Russian Empire. Russia was desperate for an ice free port...

There are three major figures that led to this development they are Ivan Pavlov, John B. Watson, and B.F. Skinner. Behaviorism is developed with the order that only observations that satisfied the criteria of the scientific method were to be allowable as evidence. One of the hypotheses many behaviorists hold is that free will is an illusion. As the result of this behaviorism orders that all behavior is determined by a combination of genetic factors and the environment is either through classical or operant conditioning. Classical conditioning is a technique used in behavioral training in which a naturally occurring stimulus is paired with a response. Operant conditioning is a method of learning that occurs through rewards...

...name them all, but most people have at least heard of the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World. Here’s a list with links: Great Pyramid of Giza, Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Temple of Artemis, Statue of Zeus at Olympia, Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, Colossus of Rhodes, and the Lighthouse of Alexandria . Of the seven, only the Pyramid remains, the rest we know of only through historic documents.[1] There have been other “7 Wonders” lists and in 2007, the Swiss government sponsored a project to create a new list, with selections made by popular vote. Over 100 million votes were cast, and the new 7 Wonders were announced as follows: Chichen Itza (the Yucatan, Mexico pyramid), Christ the Redeemer (Brazil’s enormous statue of Jesus), Colosseum (Rome’s arena of Gladiators),Great Wall of China (you can see it from space!),Machu Picchu (ancient city built on an unbelievably high mountain top in Peru),Petra (Jordan’s city cut directly into the side of a stone mountain ),and the Taj Mahal (India’s majestic temple/mausoleum).[2] But my final Cyber Journey of the semester started not as a stroll through history, but as a trip into the future of arts and Architecture with a look at another “7 Wonders” list – The 7 New Wonders of the 21st Century [3], as selected by Architecture, an online review published by the website Quazen.

...DIFFERENT TYPES OF WEB SITE RATING SITE A rating site is a website designed for users to vote on or rate people, content, or other things. Rating sites are typically organized around attributes such as physical appearance, body parts, voice, personality. Rating sites typically show a series of images (or other content) in random fashion, or chosen by computer algorithm, rather than allowing users to choose. Facemash, the Facebook’s predecessor, opened on October 28, 2003. Initially, the website was invented by a Harvard student, Mark Zuckerberg, and three of his classmates – Andrew McCollum, Chris Hughes and Dustin Moskovitz. Zuckerberg wrote the software for the Facemash website when he was in his second year of college. The website was set up as a type of “hot or not” game for Harvard students. The website allowed visitors to compare two student pictures side-by-side and let them choose who was “hot” and who was “not”..... REVIEW SITE A review site is a website on which reviews can be posted about people, businesses, products, or services. Review sites are generally supported by advertising. Some business review sites may also allow businesses to pay for enhanced listings, which do not affect the reviews and ratings. Product review sites may be supported by providing affiliate links to the websites that sell the reviewed items. Rotten Tomatoes is a website launched in 1998 devoted to film reviews and news; it is widely known as a film review aggregator. Coverage...

...asdas d A wiki is run using wiki software, otherwise known as a wiki engine. There are dozens of different wiki engines in use, both standalone and part of other software, such as bug tracking systems. Some wiki engines are open source, whereas others are proprietary. Some permit control over different functions (levels of access); for example, editing rights may permit changing, adding or removing material. Others may permit access without enforcing access control. Other rules may also be imposed to organize content. A wiki engine is a type of content management system, but it differs from most other such systems, including blog software, in that the content is created without any defined owner or leader, and wikis have little implicit structure, allowing structure to emerge according to the needs of the users.[2] The encyclopedia project Wikipedia is by far the most popular wiki-based website, and is in fact one of the most widely viewed sites of any kind of the world, having been ranked in the top ten since 2007. Wikipedia is not a single wiki but rather a collection of hundreds of wikis, one for each language. There are at least tens of thousands of other wikis in use, both public and private, including wikis functioning as knowledge management resources, notetaking tools, community websites and intranets. Ward Cunningham, the developer of the first wiki software, WikiWikiWeb, originally described it as "the simplest online database that could possibly work".[3] "Wiki" (pronounced[ˈwiki][note...

Tyler explains that this story of moral dilemma was the inspiration for the name of the band.[10] On December 29, 2009, they released their debut, self-titled album, Twenty One Pilots, and began touring Ohio. In 2010, the band released two officially unreleased tracks to their SoundCloud account.[11][better source needed] One, an original song titled, "Time to Say Goodbye" and a cover of "Jar of Hearts" by Christina Perri.
