...How do you know when you should question the truth? It can be altered at moment in our lives, like playing a game of telephone, the sentence comes around to its original person, and never the same as it was in the beginning of the game. One of the most famous quotes said by Walter Benjamin is “History is written by the victors”. Being true because of the people of the past who have experience it, and tell it as they remember it, at times over exaggerating there part in history or even the situation. One can never know what exactly happened in history. In 1984, written by George Orwell, there world was being controlled and change whenever they felt it was needed, or they altered their truth to make it sound better than it really was. Many people have known this as the Ben Trovato effect when you have a statement, but change it to your liking, stating something false but ad How do you know when you should question the truth?...

...ON MY FIRST SONNE - This poem is an elegy. An Elegy is a sad and thoughtful poem mourning the death of a person. Benjamin is a Hebrew name. In Hebrew it means “child of the right hand” - the way Jonson refers to his son in the first line of the poem. The eldest son was always the most important child. He would sit at his father’s right hand at table and would expect to inherit most of his father’s property. Jonson had five children. They all died young. His son Benjamin, the subject of this poem, was born in 1596 and died in 1603 - Ben Jonson was away from home at the time and received a letter from his wife telling him that Benjamin had died of the plague. line 3 tho’ wert/thou wert - you were line 4 Exacted to exact payment is to demand or compel payment line 6 lament mourn, deplore, be sorry for line 11 hence-forth from this time onward FAREWELL, thou child of my right hand, and joy; My sinne was too much hope of thee, loved boy.

David Elias Browning (1829-1901) was the son of Jonathan Browning and Elizabeth Stalcup. He was also the half-brother of John Moses Browning, the famous gun inventor. David, born in Davidson County, TN, moved with his family to Adams County, IL, and later to Nauvoo, IL, and Mosquito Creek, IA, before settling in Ogden, UT. In Ogden, David married Charilla Abigail Abbott. David, a lifelong member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, was married to Charilla, a convert to the Church. David's occupation was farming. This cabin stood on his farm, but he lived most of the year in Ogden and traveled daily by horse and buggy to the farm. He was commissioned by Brigham Young to be the sealer of Weights and Measures (scales tester) for Weber County and was also commissioned a Justice of the Territory of Utah. He was a member of the Grand Jury, and also served in the Territorial Militia (Nauvoo Legion).

...The Crossing of the Delaware and Walter and the Shark Aaron Staples Art History 203 George W. Born November 16th, 2014 I have chosen The Passage of the Delaware, c.1819 by Thomas Sully, Oil on canvas and Watson and the Shark, c.1778 by John Singleton Copley, Oil on canvas. Both are historic paintings, but not of the same theme. The subjects may be different, but the use of color is similar. One was painted during the middle of the revolutionary war and the other painted an important moment of the revolutionary war! One is in London while the other is in Philadelphia. Both are paintings, oil on canvas. When you put them side by side one may ask why one would choose to compare these two. I believe that both have similar styles in the way that they are painted as well as the history behind them. The Passage of the Delaware was commissioned by the state of North Carolina for the senate hall of the state house in Raleigh. This was a history painting showing that of George Washington crossing the frozen Delaware River to surprise the English forces. The battle was known as the battle of Trenton and was one of the most important victories for the revolutionary forces. Watson and the Shark on the other hand was not a commissioned painting, but one he did of his own free will and dramatized the story of the boy who almost got eaten by a shark and in the end he just lost his leg. This painting was a grand success for him and got him full access to the Royal Academy. Both...

...Benjamin Franklin (January 17, 1706 [O.S. January 6, 1705][Note 1][Note 2] – April 17, 1790) was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. A noted polymath, Franklin was a leading author, printer, political theorist, politician, postmaster, scientist, musician, inventor, satirist, civic activist, statesman, and diplomat. As a scientist, he was a major figure in the American Enlightenment and the history of physics for his discoveries and theories regarding electricity. He invented the lightning rod, bifocals, the Franklin stove, a carriage odometer, and the glass 'armonica'.[1] He facilitated many civic organizations, including a fire department and a university. Franklin earned the title of "The First American" for his early and indefatigable campaigning for colonial unity; as an author and spokesman in London for several colonies, then as the first United States Ambassador to France, he exemplified the emerging American nation.[2] Franklin was foundational in defining the American ethos as a marriage of the practical values of thrift, hard work, education, community spirit, self-governing institutions, and opposition to authoritarianism both political and religious, with the scientific and tolerant values of the Enlightenment. In the words of historian Henry Steele Commager, "In a Franklin could be merged the virtues of Puritanism without its defects, the illumination of the Enlightenment without its heat."[3] To Walter Isaacson, this makes Franklin "the most accomplished...

...Benjamin Franklin Biography Born in January of 1706 in Boston, Massachusetts, Benjamin Franklin is an iconic figure in American history and throughout the world (Gaustad 2003). Among other things, he was one of the most well known politicians and civil activists of the Enlightenment Era in North America. He was known for his role as Ambassador to France, and his work to gain French military assistance during the American Revolution. Franklin was also one of the Founding Fathers who signed the Declaration of Independence and helped draft the United States Constitution. Benjamin Franklin was extremely brilliant, but at the same time considered by many as self-effacing and approachable (Essig, 2006). Despite his great involvement in civics and politics later in his life, Franklin was first a businessman and a scientist. Franklin’s scientific work and business ventures lead him to become one of the most recognizable innovators of all time. According to Isaacson (2003), one of the main factors that caused Franklin to be thought of as a genius was the varied nature of his interests. He became involved in projects that ranged from civics to science, and he never took himself too seriously. The earliest known invention of Benjamin Franklin was the development of a copperplate press in 1728 that used ornate designs, and different colors of ink to make it more difficult for counterfeiters to forge paper money from the state of New Jersey. It was also during this period that...

...Total Quality Pioneers Paper Quality is something that everyone puts a premium on regardless what is being considered. Quality is considered from simple things as coffee pots to more extravagant items such as Rolex watch and complex micro chips that fuel modern day computers. Additionally, quality is placed on intangibles like service. Quality is important to both customers and business owners. If businesses do not provide quality services or products, then customers will not use that business or service. According to Smith (2012) “Most organizations have no idea of their total cost of poor quality. The cost of poor quality is defined as the costs that would disappear if systems, processes and products were perfect“ (p. 10). This paper shall define quality, describe how a quality pioneer used it to be successful, look at some elements of quality that are useful in today’s environment, and look at the future of quality. What is Quality Quality means different things to different people. Also, different people place various levels of worth on quality whether it be for a product or for a service. Therefore it may be difficult to accurately define quality. However, one thing is clear. One may not be able to define quality, but one knows it when he or she sees it. “Quality is a dynamic state associated with products, services, people, processes, and environments that meets or exceeds expectations and helps produce superior value” (Goetsch, & Davis, 2010, p. 5).

...Quality Management In chapter one W. Edward Deming is the total quality pioneer that defined quality in his present day, which was over 50 years ago, however, his defining elements are basically the quality foundation that is practiced in today’s environment for quality with most major industry leading companies. Deming’s vision and philosophy along with the fundamental elements of quality that he defined made him a successful quality pioneer in the 1950’s. According to Deming he defined quality and its elements through common extractions taken from his quality pioneer book “Out of the Crisis.” Quality and its elements are defined as “A dynamic state associated with products, service, people, processes and environments that meet or exceeds expectations and helps produce superior value.” Deming believed that quality has many different criteria and that the criteria change continually, along with consumers valuing the various criteria differently, which creates the important opportunity to measure and re-measure the preferences of the consumers’ frequently. Deming understands the need to re-define the various and different consumers’ preferences and the need to re-measure them frequently was a unique perspective for his time. This unique perspective made him a quality pioneer and it is also one of the corner stones of the foundations that today’s quality is built upon and used in today’s quality definition. In today’s environment of fierce...

The quality of the service is what cause businesses to have repeat customers. On the other hand, if the quality is poor then most people will not return.

People measure quality based on results and service they made receive. Quality is defined as “a dynamic state associated with products, services, people, processes, and environments that meets or exceeds expectations and helps produce superior value” (Goetsch & Davis 2010). What people looks for in quality changes over time as products and services become more advance. The elements of quality are: vision, objectives, mission, education, and training.

...THE ART OF FICTION by Henry James [Published in Longman's Magazine 4 (September 1884), and reprinted in Partial Portraits (Macmillan, 1888); paragraphing and capitalization follow the Library of America edition.] I SHOULD not have affixed so comprehensive a title to these few remarks, necessarily wanting in any completeness, upon a subject the full consideration of which would carry us far, did I not seem to discover a pretext for my temerity in the interesting pamphlet lately published under this name by Mr. Walter Besant. Mr. Besant's lecture at the Royal Institution--the original form of his pamphlet--appears to indicate that many persons are interested in the art of fiction and are not indifferent to such remarks as those who practise it may attempt to make about it. I am therefore anxious not to lose the benefit of this favourable association, and to edge in a few words under cover of the attention which Mr. Besant is sure to have excited. There is something very encouraging in his having put into form certain of his ideas on the mystery of story-telling. It is a proof of life and curiosity--curiosity on the part of the brotherhood of novelists, as well as on the part of their readers. Only a short time ago it might have been supposed that the English novel was not what the French call discutable. It had no air of having a theory, a conviction, a consciousness of itself behind it-of being the expression of an artistic faith, the result of choice and comparison. I do...
