Fire, Brimstone, and Greener Pastures for Religious Involvement Lacking the ready opportunity to visit a unique congregation while stuck, carless, on campus over break, I instead focus on a "field trip" that my churchs' Sunday School class took one Sunday morning last summer. Picture if you will a group of white Presbyterian teenagers hopping into a shiny church van and cruising 15 minutes south, into the poorer, blacker reaches of inner-city Memphis (where neighborhood segregation is still very much the rule). Our destination was relatively near our own church, and yet worlds apart, too. Ours was the area of stately old homes with well-kept lawns along oak- and elm-lined streets, homes filled with the genteel, white urbanites of the city. A mere handful of blocks to the south, however, lay a land of equally old but far more poorly maintained homes, streets long since denuded of any trees they may once have sported. We had left our comfortable zone of neighborhood watches and block clubs, choosing instead to spend our worship hours in a part of the city instead known for its special police precinct and its multitudinous economic redevelopment zones. Thus did we find ourselves at the Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church. Venturing inside, we all noticed two things very quickly: we were at once wearing entirely too much clothing to be comfortable in the sweltering heat, and entirely too little to fit in with the rest of the congregants assembled. And yet we were welcomed with open arms. We had arrived, the Reverend Rogers L. Pruitt emphasized as we filed into the sanctuary, on a very special day. As he distributed bulletins and hearty handshakes to the rest of the group, I noticed that the front of mine read "Fragment Day." As I looked around the modest sanctuary, I wondered what the service had in store for us. The sanctuary was bare, and the pews hard. I mentally tallied a comparison between my own church's sanctuary and this. The two, I found, were similarly austere, but with theirs tending toward items of religious kitsch and our own tending instead towards polished brass. Both lacked stained glass in the windows. I suspected, however, that where our sanctuary was plain in token tribute to the long-dead strict streak of our Calvinist tradition, theirs was bare because it could not economically be otherwise. And the lack of air conditioning ! Memphis' summer heat is unbearable and pervasive, and a roof overhead does nothing against the big blanket of humid air.
Earbud ads are aimed at an audience of all sorts of people and usually all ages. Earbuds are usually split up into different groups based on price and quality, making certain earbuds ideal for the younger age groups and the pricier earbuds geared towards an older crowd. In Wired Magazine, I found an ad for Nocs NS600 Crush earbuds. Since Nocs brand is known for making high quality high grade audio products Nocs has been trusted to make a very good sounding product and has the connotation that it will crush all opposing competition. In Wired Magazine I found another ad for Etymotic hf3 earbuds that is very similar although the earbuds have very distinct differences. Both sets of earbuds sell for about the same price at about one hundred and fifty dollars apiece although the Etymotic earbuds are one dollar cheaper at one hundred and forty nine dollars. The ad for Etymotic hf3 earbuds is similar, but more effective than the Nocs NS600 Crush earbuds ad because of its stronger copy/image, its direct target audience and the logical appeals the ad makes.
In conclusion, todays cinematic evolvement through being more accepting of sexual themes as well as representation of different sexual orientations, in both characters and audience alike, contributes to further objectifying people in an erotic sense to please different kind of spectators. Furthermore, it enables male characters to be subjected to erotic objectification and is therefore not a portrayal exclusive in portraying females. However, this remodels the way male and female characters are depicted as it in a sense equalizes them through the same kind of degrading portrayal as sexual objects.
The African Methodist Episcopal Church also known as the AME Church, represents a long history of people going from struggles to success, from embarrassment to pride, from slaves to free. It is my intention to prove that the name African Methodist Episcopal represents equality and freedom to worship God, no matter what color skin a person was blessed to be born with. The thesis is this: While both Whites and Africans believed in the worship of God, whites believed in the oppression of the Africans’ freedom to serve God in their own way, blacks defended their own right to worship by the development of their own church. According to Andrew White, a well- known author for the AME denomination, “The word African means that our church was organized by people of African descent Heritage, The word “Methodist” means that our church is a member of the family of Methodist Churches, The word “Episcopal refers to the form of government under which our church operates.”
In seismology, there are several types of waves studied, each of these waves have characteristics that define them. Seismic waves can be split into two categories, and they are body waves and surface waves. Body waves travel and move within the earths subsurface and inner layers. There are two types of body waves, P-Waves also known as compressional waves or primary waves, and S-Waves also called secondary or shear waves. The S-Waves have a vertical (Sv) and horizontal (Sh) component. “In an infinite homogenous isotropic medium, only P and S waves exist” (Telford et. al, 1990). On the other hand, as indicated by the name, surface waves travel and move along the surface of the earth. In general, surface waves have a lower frequency than body waves, therefore, they can easily be distinguished from body waves on a seismogram. There are two types of surface waves, Love waves and Rayleigh Waves. Love waves is the fastest surface wave, its movement mainly consists of a side to side completely horizontal motion. Rayleigh (1885) waves are surface waves that “roll” along the ground; they are a consequence of interfering P and Sv-Waves. Our project
“Reaching Out without Dumbing Down” seems to be constructed for the church leader, elder, or pastor who is considering altering their current, historic worship style for a more modern one that may attract greater numbers of unsaved people. She provides excellent standards to help Pastors and Worship Leaders plan, execute, and evaluate worship services. These same standards provide a great opportunity to educate the church family on the reasons behind the use of certain worship elements. Although written for church leadership, the everyday church member would also benefit from understanding the very concepts that Dawn is directing at God-empowered leaders.
At last I arrived, unmolested except for the rain, at the hefty decaying doors of the church. I pushed the door and it obediently opened, then I slid inside closing it surreptitiously behind me. No point in alerting others to my presence. As I turned my shoulder, my gaze was held by the magnificence of the architecture. It never fails to move me. My eyes begin by looking at the ceiling, and then they roam from side to side and finally along the walls drinking in the beauty of the stained glass windows which glowed in the candle light, finally coming to rest on the altar. I slipped into the nearest pew with the intention of saying a few prayers when I noticed him. His eyes were fixated upon me. I stared at the floor, but it was too late, because I was already aware that he wasn’t one of the priests, his clothes were all wrong and his face! It seemed lifeless. I felt so heavy. My eyes didn’t want to obey me. Neither did my legs. Too late I realised the danger! Mesmerised, I fell asleep.
whenever an earthquake occurs, P waves are the first to arrive and to be recorded at geophysical research stations worldwide.
The operating system (OS) is a collection of software to control the computer tasks and manage proper utilization of the hardware resources. The basic operating systems are the Linux, UNIX, Mac and Microsoft Windows. There are several and diverse components of an operating system that include but not limited to the file management, security, memory and process management. The following paragraphs present the comparison of basic operating systems with respect to the above given features (Solomon, Russinovich & Polze, 2006).
In the early summer mornings, when the sunshine is young and playful, inside the church another realm is born. Sitting in the back rows one can see a heavenly mist flowing though the windows and filling the sleepy altar with life and hope. It is a different dimension in the breast of an unsuspecting world. Moments such as these bring you joy and reassurance and also show you that there really is someone out there: your soul is elevated, your mind is thirsty for new experiences and your body is strengthened.

As we learned in class from Dr. Ying Liu, there is no universally accepted definition for what an operating system is. According to Dr. Paul Mullins from Slippery Rock University, “An operating system (OS) is a software, that manages computer hardware resources, runs other programs, and provides common services for the user and application software” (“5.2 Software”). This goes hand in had with what Dr. Liu taught in class with his PowerPoint lectures stating that an operating system is “A program that acts as an intermediary between a user of a computer and the computer hardware”.
Here we will introduce a little bit about what is operating system, basic function on operating system and some popular example of operating system. When you turn on your computer, it is feel nice that you have control. It is feels easy like a director in front of the screen. Actually there are a lot of things inside and the real man behind who handles those things is called operating system (abbreviate as OS). OS is a software program enables computer hardware and software to communicate with each other, control and manage computer memory and processes.
Evie works as a chaplain in a prison, where she helps to run ETS – Enchanted Thinking Skills. A part of her job is to deliver death notices to the prisoners. In the short story “Sorry for the Loss”, Evie has to tell the prisoner Victor Zamora that his grandmother passed away last night. She is quite nervous about Victor’s reaction since she doesn’t know him or haven’t seen him before. As she breaks the bad news to Victor, she is surprised by how well he comprehends them and how little it affects him. As she attempts to comfort him, she starts to wonder what kind of crime such a spiritually and intellectually curious young man could have committed. When she leaves Victor’s cell, she see a line of prisoners returning to the wing from Visits, waving and shouting to their families and friends trough a large window. She suddenly gets emotional and a guard hands her a tissue. Evie asks about Victor’s crime and the guard tells her he stabbed another pupil to death with a butterfly knife.
Seismic waves are energy waves that are caused by the sudden breaking of rock in the earth’s crust, or because of an explosion caused by man; these waves travel through the earth and can be recorded by seismographs. There are many different types of seismic waves, but the two main types are surface waves, which can only move on the earth’s surface like a sort of ocean wave, and body waves, that travel through the earth’s innermost layers. Earthquakes make up both surface and body waves. Both surface and body waves can be broken down to two main
