- 23801: The Importance Of Community Pl
- ... many small towns and cities seem to ignore other aspects of the planning process, which could greatly affect the town. Most people feel that the economy is the single most important aspect to a community's health and vitality. They overlook some simple things, which could easily be changed, and would improve the looks, functionality, and enjoyability of a town. A modern trend in urban America is the abandonment of downtown ... centers. These areas need not be lost. They are extremely important maintaining character, and can actually become a nuisance, if left to decay beyond a certain level. They are often left out of a community's plan, because they seem to be outdated, and no longer economically viable. Economic development is allowed or encouraged to take place on the fringe of the community, while the historic center is left to fend ... and causes the centers to decay. In many cases, buildings and building sites located in the center of town are not as economically advantageous as the inexpensive land, on the outskirts of town. This doesn't mean they are without use. Proactive planning can help insure these sites stay modern and maintained, before it becomes far too expensive to restore or modify a structure for a new use. Many sites, ...
- 23802: Ira Remsen
- ... Many people thought that it was Constantine who discovered saccharin, but he stole the formula from Remsen. When they stopped working together, Constantine patented the formula and became filthy rich. As a result Remsen didn't received any credit for the discovery. Constantine received the recognition that Remsen earned and rightfully deserved. Remsen was furious at first about the matter; "it makes my blood boil to see the lies that scoundrel ... there in that same year, he wrote several important textbooks on chemistry.

- 23803: The Existance Of God
- ... important for an argument to be validly structured because then a stable conclusion can be derived from its premises. It is equally important for an argument to be sound, because if an argument premises aren't true then it can be easily criticized and it will not be very persuasive. The argument from evil is a valid one. it is structured in a modus Tollens form which is a valid deductive ... around barefoot all the time and one day you step on a piece of glass. This painful experience would have taught you that you should not walk around barefoot because you could get hurt. It's plain to see that this is a strong criticism against the argument from evil. However I believe there is a couple of ways Sober can get around this criticism. First of all if a (PKG ... many more humans endure every day ad I think it is ridiculously obvious that soul building evil can not account for all of it. Therefore I think the soul building criticisms does not disprove Sober's argument in the least.
- 23804: The Byzantine Empire
- The Byzantine Empire The Byzantine Empire, the survivor of the Roman empire, flourished into the oldest and longest lasting empire in our history. It began with Constantine the Great's triumph of Christianity. He then transferred his capital from Rome to the refounded Byzantium in the early 4th century, year 330 AD, and named it Constantinople after himself. This city became the surviving safe spot ... space of southeastern Europe, southwestern Asia, and the northeast corner of Africa. The present day countries in these areas include the Balkan Peninsula, Syria, Jordan, Israel, and Egypt. This large empire known as Byzantine didn't get called Byzantine until scholars named it. The people of that time were not thought of as Byzantines but as Romans who lived a Roman lifestyle. Byzantine had been started and ruled by an emperor ... and Theodora, with substantial expenses, induced in fabricating public buildings and churches. One of these famous churches was the Hagia Sophia, Church of the Holy Wisdom, in Constantinople. After spending so much of the Byzantine's money, the empire was overstrained when finally their resources ran dry. Along with that problem, plagues crossed the nation and reduced the Byzantine population. (Encarta) To fight the rundown of the Byzantine nation, they ...
- 23805: Essay On Caesar
- In Shakespeare's play of "Caesar" Brutus is a conspirator who portrays a person who favors a republic for Rome. Brutus is an honorable man. Many characters in the play show there reverence for Brutus. Brutus exemplifies his ... for his romans, therefore Brutus is an honorable man. Brutus is a scrupulous man, whose virtues endure. "No not an oath, If not by the face of men, the sufferance of our souls, the time's abuse-If these motives be weak, break off betimes, and every men hence to his idle bed; So let high sighted tyranny rage on, till each man drop by lottery" (Shakespeare 399). Brutus said that if the conspirators do not join for a common cause, then there is no need for an oath because the conspirators are self-righteous, and they are serving the romans. If the conspirators don't bind together, then each man will go his own way, become a weakling, and die when it suits the tyrants caprice. Brutus is advocates peace, freedom and liberty, for all romans, which shows that ...
- 23806: Jihad
- ... only bad for the United States, but for the rest of the world as well. But we should also remember, such attacks have been occurring since the time of the Great Prophet Muhammad (May Allah's Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him). The Kuffar (idol-worshippers) continually attempted to stop Prophet Muhammad (Salalahu Alayhi Wasalam) from proceeding on with his Daw'ah (spread of Islam) mission. I remember one day turning on my television to a program entitled 'Jihad: Holy War'. To my dismay it was full of lies and such things that were not only contradicting Islam's basic teachings of peace, but also were sending images that caused fear and hate towards Islam to Non-Muslims. The program showed how Islam imposed obligations and unjust rules on women. In reality, Islam gives women the right to freedom, equality, inheritance, and work I know that today many young Muslims are confused as to what to believe. So why don't we look at the word Jihad, and try to grasp a better understanding of it. Jihad in Islam means struggle in the Way of Allah (Subhana Wa Ta'alah) . Its purpose is to support ...
- 23807: State of the Union Address Essay
- ... before. "We face no imminent threat, but we do have an enemy: The enemy of our time is inaction," Clinton declared at the start of his speech. He finished, as he did in last month's address, by invoking the symbolism that the nation is about to pass into a new millennium. "We don't have a moment to waste," he said. "Tomorrow, there will be just over 1,000 days until the year 2000. . . . One thousand days to work together." The speech proved shorter than predicted and far more organized and disciplined than some of his previous appearances before Congress. The annual speeches to Congress have served as markers of Clinton's ideological migration. In 1993, he announced that government must do more and unveiled a raft of big- government proposals, including a $30 billion "stimulus package" that was vastly more expensive than any single proposal ...
- 23808: Standing In The Light
- ... she had to search to find her self throughout her time in captivity. In the beginning when she was captured, it was awkward and confusing. This was because she was a Quaker and she didn’t know if she was now an Indian or still a Quaker, because the Lenape weren’t going to return her to her family. She had to search her own self, and eventually she became used to the way of Indian life. She never forgot her family, but she had come to ... the situation with the Indians and the white man. The fact that a girl my age was telling the story gave me a unique gaze into the past. I actually saw the story through Catharine’s eyes. I will defiantly read more books by this author. She did the finest job interpreting the history in the story and I look forward to reading more books by this author.
- 23809: The Culture Of American Advert
- ... advertisement? Evidently, these two guys know how to sell something. When I see an advertisement, I see them like Solomon and Charles did. They are like businessmen trying to sell a product. The advertisements aren t just selling a product to Americans, but rather the advertisements are directed towards a targeted market. For example; a commercial that wants to sell a regular beer will show normal guys hanging out. They could be at a bar, fishing, or having a picnic. The people will be having a fun time. The targeted market would be mostly men because in the commercials it s mostly men with the exception of a beautiful woman here and there. Other commercials, according to Solomon, thrive on fitting in. The Chevrolet commercials have a slogan that makes one feel to be American, one must by American. Chevrolet s slogan is The Heartbeat of America. Car commercials also have targeted markets also. For a truck commercial, they will show a truck getting all dirty and going through an obstacle. This is targeted towards ...
