The Matthew Pearl’s movie, which was meant to attract the creative side of each ...

Biblical philosophy tries to comprehend the dynamic unfolding of God's unique disclosure all through history while efficient philosophy looks to present the whole scriptural instructing on certain particular truths, or teachings, each one in turn. Systematic theology is attached to exposition. It facilitates and orchestrates the entire witness of Scripture on the different points with which it bargains. The author’s observation, in biblical theology, is in line with existing theological literature because he points out that the Bible founded religious philosophy was, in this manner, chronicled and ordered in its plan. In point of fact, the equivalent word ...

In support of this through literature review as the methodology, it was found that: first, performance measurement has broadened due to concerns over previous perspectives; two, the complexity and dynamic nature of work environment have rendered the previous approaches deficient while the adoption of indirect over direct ...

A Reflective Writing

The primary message of this article is that the authors want to teach people how to cheaply innovate without beginning from scratch. The authors gave an example of Rain Bird business.

In his article titled “Marketing is Everybody’s Business”, George Gresham asserts that marketing as a way of doing business serves a primary function of identifying new business opportunities. According to the author, marketing is in most cases misconstrued to be a province of the marketing department. Additionally, the author refutes that marketing is an activity that majorly involves product promotion and advertisement. To the author, since marketing is a chain process, product promotion and advertisement occupy the last steps of this process (marketing). It is indubitable that the author is trying to emphasize that, though mostly taken to be the process of ...

Marketing is everybody’s Business, George Gresham.

The author wants the reader to know about marketing, which he believes is the least understood business discipline.

According to the author, marketing begins by identifying new opportunities like market or customer needs because someone had a product idea before the product itself came into being.

1. Collaborative tools:
More often than not, the information technology department of an organization will not seek the views of other employees when introducing new office tools. They instead impose new office tools within the organization. Such organizations need to be aware that Software user experience varies between employees. Be it Skype, MS Communicator or Lotus project, for software to be effective, the users (employees) should be involved in selection processes. Only when their views on software’s anticipation of their needs, ease of use, content and effectiveness are sought, will communication be flexible. It would be a tremendous ...

Article Review - Henri II

In "Criticizing the Savage and Making a King: The Royal Entry Festival of Henri II (Rouen, 1550)," Wintroub (1998) examines the royal entry festival that was held in the city of Rouen in 1550 to honor King Henri II. In particular, the article focuses on the reproduction of a Brazilian village that was created for the festival, within which there were fifty Brazilians to inhabit the village.

The journal article “the image of God” was written with the purpose of revealing a number of things. Among these things is the scarcity and brevity with which the Old Testament has referred to the doctrine stated as the image of God. Consequently, the scarce and brief reference has been made in such versus as Genesis 1:26, Genesis 5:2 and Genesis 9:6. Therefore, the author came up with the journal as a way of highlighting the importance that the doctrine bears, which is beyond all proportion, in relation to the laconic treatment that the doctrine receives in Old Testament. The paper ...

Bruce Bower in his well-written article in “Science Today entitled “Shared Talking Styles Herald New and Lasting Romance” argues that” language style matching” is a communication asset between two people, then the reverse scenario of both employing different communication styles does nothing to help the interpersonal relationship between them. The reason for this is simple and only common sense. When two individuals talk or communicate to each other, then the use of similar language styles is usually a step forward towards better communications. Better communication means better comprehension, better empathy and therefore better quality of interpersonal relationships. So far so good, ...

Who’s Afraid of the Old Testament God?

The first essay answers questions regarding Kate Chopin’s short story “The Story of an Hour,” where the ending offers more than a small shock as to how and why the female protagonist dies.

The second essay deals with questions regarding Shirley Jackson’s equally shocking story “The Lottery,” which gives a frightening portrayal of what happens when people blindly follow traditions they do ...

In his article, “The Meat Eaters,” Jeff McMahan discusses the concept of animals suffering at the hands of other animals, and whether or not this should be tolerated. He explores the reasons why animals should not be made to suffer any more than humans, and possible ways in which to eradicate their suffering. Overall, he believes that by allowing all carnivorous animals to become extinct and then introducing new herbivorous species, suffering could be eliminated.
McMahan contends that as humans tend to avoid allowing any other human being to suffer, perhaps we should be extending this responsibility to ...

The article starts with a story of a rental tower which has introduced charging stations for electric cars a few years ago.

Many car companies will be producing electric cars and hybrids and so the demand for charging stations will grow. There is now even an application for mobile phones which can help quickly locate the nearest station. This can also be done ...

The university art museum loses its most successful director after nearly half a century of good management of collections, exhibits, and showings to university art students, a very academic approach to the use of the museum. Finding a new director that maintains the usual direction of the museum appears to be the issue, but really it's the management's indecision over not only a new director but also whether a new direction wouldn't be a better idea. The problem lies in the results of hiring a new director who brings with him a new direction, as well. Management has a challenge to the old way of doing things. This ...

Reading the article by Dr. R. Rhodes, I found many interesting thoughts and evidences which corresponded to my personal observations. Fortunately, I am not into New Age philosophy. My interpretation of angels is conservatively-Christian, meaning I consider them as God messengers, who help but also punish. From strictly scientific perspective, meaning studying of the ancient texts of Hebrew, I see angels more as creatures to be afraid of rather than to attract. After all, Satan and demons are also angels with the different color of wings. Subsequently, my perception is far from New Age interpretation. Concerning the perception of ...

He starts off by expressing his interpretation of the new covenant. Gilliam believes the account of the new covenant began in Acts chapter 2 rather than the modern theological thought, Matthew chapter 2. 1 He is of this view for some reasons. First, though Gillham believes that the Bible is inspired of God he does not believe that alterations to verses, chapter divisions made by editors ...

Abstract

Despite receiving little attention from many, the subject of Pentecostal soteriology continues to confuse majority of the congregation with a few of them having little insight, if any on matters of the Holy Spirit and baptism. Often these subjects are tackled by church ministers who often suffer from prejudice, sometimes lacking the expertise to interpret scripts from the bible. Previous studies also do not offer convincing enlightenment on the same subject. Following this trail, this paper refers to some prior studies and continues to guide the reader through a journey on the study of the Pentecost along with its integration to ...

It’s a vast argument between Egyptologists and other writers, whether Bible is an ancient scripture inspired by Egyptian Mythology. There are so many sources available to show us the resemblance between Genesis 1 and Ancient Egyptian creation myths, especially the process of the creation of world. As it is said in Genesis; God created the world in six days and kept the seventh day for rest. In the same way in Egyptian myth, God had created the world in six days and rested for the seventh day. The order, in which the creations had been made, too has a remarkable ...

A black president would be a dream as impossible as a trip to the sun. Despite all the ...
