Introduction The term “covenant” is derived from Hebrew word b’rith and the Greek diatheke . According to scholars there are two kinds of covenant; the covenant grant and the covenant treaty. The covenant grant is derived from what is known as free royal decree which presents irrevocable unconditional divine gift. A good example is the covenant between God and Noah in Genesis which also applies to Noah’s descendants in the bible. In this, God made an everlasting promise not to destroy once again all creatures through flood as the one just experienced. The other examples include the covenant between God and Abraham where He promised to make him the father of many nations, the promise to David where God assured him of an everlasting kingship to his son. These covenants were unconditional and could not be erased whatsoever (Bailey and Bailey). The covenant at Mt. Sinai presents one of the prime examples of conditional covenant. This is because it proclaimed blessings on those who submitted to its conditions and at the same time curses on those who chose to disobey. The covenant was almost broken at the point Israelites resorted to worship the golden calf, but God had mercy on them after they repented hence were re-established. The teachings in the book of Jeremiah shows that Israel had broken the Sinai covenant though God granted
Introduction This paper provides a report of an observation that was conducted in a local neighborhood, one surrounding the Mount Baker Station. Along with some factual information about the area, such as the types of the local businesses, transports, and so on, I also provide the account of the feelings and impressions that I experienced while observing the place. In general, it was apparent that the neighborhood is mainly a residential area, in which individuals who have incomes that are lower than the average live. The local people mostly seemed engaged in their business and not wishing to be disturbed; however, there were a number of persons who answered my polite greetings with a pleasantly surprised “hello.” Sound While walking around the Mount Baker Station, most of the sounds that I was able to hear were coming from the traffic. Numerous cars, buses, trolleybuses were heard from a distance, even while standing in places not close to roads, or while being inside buildings. It was also possible to distinguish the sound of an airplane flying in the skies. Apart from the traffic, I could hear the whirring of washing machines while walking close enough to the UW consolidated laundry located behind the station. It was also possible to distinguish the sounds of children shouting and cheering. In the local small bordered area near a school, I saw that the kids were playing hula hoop, as well as a variety of games involving the use of the ball, all while having a break from the class. The children were looked after by two adults, who did not make much noise, only shouted from time to time so that the kids would not go where they should not go. Apart from the constant background traffic noise, it was also possible to hear people talking to one another at the bus stop, as well as in the local coffee shops and restaurants; a number of these were to be found in the area. The loudest sound that I was able to hear in the neighborhood, however, was perhaps the sound of the siren of an ambulance that drove by. On the whole, even though the place was not quiet at all, it was rather easy to get used to that background sound of cars and get used to it. It was quiet near the local Franklin High School, however. Also, while looking around, I could sometimes find myself watching the birds flying nearby and sitting on the trees; a crow and a seagull were engaged in a scuffle over a piece of bread that one of them found in a nearby garbage can. Taste Most of the foods available in the neighborhood of the Mount Baker Station were offered by fast food restaurants, such as the KFC. Apart from that, there was a Vietnamese restaurant proposing foods from their national cuisine, such as the pho soup. These businesses were familiar to me, of course. Also, a number of supermarkets, including a small Chinese supermarket, were to be found in the area. Judging from these sources of food, it might be possible to state that a number of residents of Asian origins could be found in the area. It is likely that these people are th
A killer is considered to be a serial murderer if he or she kills at least two people in events that are not related. The killer must also have a break of a few hours to several years between the murders (Santilla, et al., 2009). It is not exactly known why individuals become serial killers but it is believed that it could be contributed by a difficult childhood characterized by abuse, neglect, and psychological disorders. Lack of bonding between the child and the guardian may create an aloof and cold child who grows to become a serial killer (Liebert, 1985: Gresswell & Hollin, 1994). Some of them are then able to move on to derive pleasure from those same acts (Knoll, 2006). Most serial killers target the weak in society and the majority of their victims are young women (Santilla, et al., 2009). This paper will present the different classifications of murder in addition to categories of different serial murders. To do so, the paper shall examine offender typologies compiled by theorists. It will also give the reasons why Jason, committed serial murder. Other reasons commonly known for committing serial murder will also be discussed. Offender typologies are compiled based on the nature and motivation of the crime. The two assumptions made in classification are that characteristics that are specific to a type of murder occur concurrently with such a high frequency that it separates that particular type from the next. The characteristics of one type do not occur concurrently with the specified characteristics of any other type of murder (Dryer-Beers, 2012). According to Gresswell and Hollin (1994), multiple murders are classified as mass, spree, and serial murder. There are six characteristics used to define murderers as serial killers. First, there have to be at least two killings. Secondly, the perpetrator and victim do not have any relationship. Third, murders are carried out at different times and are not directly connected with previous or following murders. Also, the locations where they are committed often vary. Finally, murders are not committed with the aim of gaining financially and victims have something in common (Gresswell & Hollin, 1994). In serial killings, six dimensions are normally considered. They include the motive, type of victim, the relationship with the victim, sex-specific, period, and the psychological state of the killer (Keeney & Heide, 1995). The killer may be classified as being either stable or unstable (Holmes 1985; Gresswell & Hollin, 1994). According
Web pages have transformed from the traditional collection of products and services on a site, to a more specific content for the clients. Random Walk Shoes targets a big audience of customers. Therefore, it requires web server software that enables it to serve the big audience of clients. Such software provides dynamic pages which allow the clients to search for the information they require by simply typing hints or a clicking the mouse. In this case, the web site is customized to provide web page files effectively. Client Script Writing Software This software is controlled by the actions of the client. The change in the information displayed on the web page is solely determined by the client’s commands. It is convenient for clients because, it gives them the opportunity to access the information they want at their own convenience. However, the clients may not learn of other pages available and explore the diverse products and services available. They may end up accessing only what they are interested in. On such occasions, the company misses the opportunity to introduce other products and services to the clients. Server Side Script Writing Software Server side script writing software runs in response to the specific information relayed by a web client. When clients search for a particular piece of information, they get a wide range of information that allows them to choose what best suits them. It means that the client is likely to learn of other products and services which may not have been pre-conceived. Such website software acts as a selling tool for the organization, informing the targeted audience of the value that comes with the purchase of such products. However, this form of software greatly controls the kind of content that clients can access. This may discourage clients who are specific and want to learn of a particular product only. When the software offers a wide range of product designs for the clients, they may feel that they are delayed from accessing the services. This is not convenient to clients who are particular in the choice of the information that they want. Recommendation Random Walk Shoes expects 3,000 clients to open at least 23 pages in a given session. This indicates that the clients will share the servers IP address. For this to work effectively, virtual server will be used to facilitate the use of multiple domain names while referring to one single web server. Server side scripting software is the most convenient for Random Walk Shoes. It will represent the company to the clients. When clients have adequate product knowledge, they have the confidence to purchase such products. Given that the organization’s products will be new in the market, clients may not be specific of what they want. They are likely to visit the website to get information at random. Server side scripting will provide more information and this will interest the clients to explore and learn more about the products. Through this website, the organization will grant its clients flexible offers which will in turn translate into sales. Clients will feel secure when visiting the website; thi
Introduction In Australia, crime rates have been on the rise in public housing. This has been attributed to the poor social and physical environments in the areas of residence. There is much carelessness and irresponsibility in the handling of amenities and property. On the other hand, The Australian Habitat for Humanity has been providing cheaper houses to low-income earners. There is limited crime amongst the beneficiaries of this project. This paper is going to report on the situation of housing in Australia. It will give a brief description of both public and homeownership projects by Habitat for Humanity, then look into the crime issues in both before showing the benefits of the homeownership project to the government, society, and to single families. A conclusion will then be made based on the discussion. Public housing Australian public housing involves the ownership of housing property such as the houses and the accompanying amenities by the government through the Department of state and department of territory government which is the two authorities in charge of this exercise. Most people in Australia are poor and cannot afford to build their own homes and meet their daily basic needs for survival. The Australian government has responded to this by launching the above-mentioned agencies and put them in charge of housing. Through the use of funds obtained mainly from government revenues and allocation from the federal government, the government has set up several housing projects in the suburban areas where the low-class citizens reside. So far, about 300 000 public housing dwellings have been put on in the master-planned estates both in the suburbs and intercity apartments in Sydney and Melbourne (NSW Housing 74). The purpose of this housing program is to provide welfare benefits of improving living places mainly the poor, low-income earners, those receiving social security, the elderly people, those with disabilities, and other forms of special needs. The government has planned to achieve its social goal by either building the houses and give them for free to those established to be at the lowest end of the poverty index or by building the houses and subsidize the rent rates so that the citizens who are still struggling to start up their lives but at least have a means of economic survival can access the houses. It is the public housing issue of safety and security that has raised many concerns among most Australians People have moved to safer places like the socially supported housing project by Habitat for Humanity described below or those capable have constructed their own homes or have bought in safer areas of town and suburbs. Public housing remains to be stigmatized by the majority of well up Australians chiefly because of its status as a tenure system for the minority or for those in lower socioeconomic status and the purported insecurity compared to the neighborhood housing tenure
Abstract The impact of pilot’s mission in flying jet aircraft and space aircraft since 1945 is one that cannot be ignored. Since the inception of space program in mid 20 th century, pilots have been an integral part of space exploration programs in US and Europe. This is demonstrated by the Project Mercury space program and it’s over-reliant on military test pilot as part of the mission. The technical skills possessed by these pilots and their ability to fly sophisticated aircrafts both in space exploration missions and air combat has evolved since 1945 and undoubtedly continuous to play critical role in the modern age of space programs and air combat missions. Compare and contrast Pilot’s mission in flying jet aircraft and space aircraft and how it has evolved since 1945 The civil aviation industry has constantly been making progress since the inception of commercial air travel in Florida in the early 20 th century. Moreover, all divisions of aeronautical sciences and technology have recorded a magnificent evolution to maintain this progress. The major input by aerodynamics, propulsion, structures and avionics have also been invaluable to the civil aviation industry such that the human perception of space, time and lifestyle has been altered completely (Martinez-Val, 2007, p.32). The discourse presented in this paper will therefore trace the evolution of civil aviation with a special focus on the role of pilot’s mission in flying jet aircraft and space aircraft since 1945. The history of the United State’s spaceflight can be traced back to some 50 years ago when the Soviet Union landed Sputnik successfully in the space. The Soviet Union’s achievement compelled the Eisenhower government to initiate several space exploration programs to match and possibly, exceed the Soviet Union’s space technology. For example, the Department of Defense provided additional resources to Wernher von Braun and his team to launch an American satellite in space. The deadline for launching the Army’s Explorer project was set on February 1 st 1958, which was less than five months after the Sputnik mission. Von Braun and his team went on to work on a crash program using a modified Jupiter C ballistic and successfully launched Explorer I in orbit on January 31, 1958 (Launius, 1995, p.355). Later, the US Congress passed the National Aeronautic and Space Act (1958) that set up NASA which was mandated to carry out exploration on space for meaningful gain to all humankind (Launius, 1995, p.355). The main component of NASA was derived from the previous Advisory Committee for Aeronautic that was made up of over 7000 workers and a yearly budget of over $ 90 million. It later integrated a number o
Introduction Sustainable development comprises of the environmental, economic sustenance and health dimensions. According to World Health Organization, sustainable development encompasses development with the needs of the present generation without compromising the interest of the future generations.In improving the quality of life, sustainable development involves environmental protection, and sustainable environment.Thus, the sustainable development embraces longterm health and integrity of the environment (Price, Dube, p. 9 ). In the engineering field, sustainable development is absolutely central to the practice of Civil Engineering (Jowitt, p. 5). It should be noted that Sustainable development is the process that shape contemporary urban Environments, which explores sustainability cities in a rapidly urbanizing world with focus on the infrastructure, land developments, built landscapes, and facilities that collectively make up metropolitan regions (Boyle, p. 26). Typical civil engineering influence in health, and basic human services such as water, wastewater, energy, transportation, environmental protection and enhancement of global population are uncountable (Boyle, p. 30). Impact of civil engineering on sustainable development The impacts of civil engineering in the sustainable development comprise the following: Economic profitability : There is wide economic benefit of sustainable development that can be derive from impact of civil engineering. It should be noted that, there is need of civil Engineering services for the solutions of global society and the environment enhancement. With development of economic issues, there is impact of civil engineering in better advocating sustainable development in the true sense of the word. The impact of individual civil engineers can help in solving the most challenging and threatening problems that have ever faced humankind with improvement of research and technology (Mulligan, p. 9). With the need for financial and economic sustainability in the provision of infrastructure. There is need for increase of water quality, which closed the gap between rich and poor (Mulligan, p. 8). The achievement of environmental sustainability leads to improvement of the health life of the working population and the total economic development. Environmental Responsibility: Healthy environment applies to the principles that involves the quality of life in the community. It should be noted that, the needs to improve the needs of the people in the community involves the development of the inhabitants for the enhancement of good economic, social and environmental conditions, which should meet the need of the community and the enhancement of environment to meet the future generations (Price, Dube 25 ). To achieve these, The practice of sustainable development for the environmental protection involves critical planning , designing, developing, building, and managing the urban built environment, which involve energy, water, mate
Clinically Based Patient Problem The patient’s problem for this paper is Candida Auris . It is a yeast that causes severe illnesses among hospitalized patients. It is particularly dangerous because it is often resistant to common antifungal drugs (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2017). Moreover, it can enter the patient’s bloodstream and become a reason for invasive infections. Other reasons why Candida Auris is a burden of contemporary healthcare providers is the difficulty in identifying it with the help of standard laboratory tests because it is similar to other Candida species, and, due to its multidrug resistance, it leads to outbreaks in healthcare facilities (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2017). Therefore, it is important to identify Candida Auris quickly and prevent its further development within or outside healthcare settings. Candida Auris can contaminate the surrounding surfaces within healthcare facilities (Sears & Schwarts, 2017). Therefore, it is necessary to control the infection and prevent its spreading. One of the opportunities for infection control is the use of a database management approach. Data of patients with Candida Auris are recorded in EHRs that are available throughout the facility. Such an application of EHRs is expected to inform healthcare professionals and allow them to avoid unnecessary unprotected contacts with the infected patients and thus limit the spread of infection. Moreover, since EHR keeps the information about all manipulations with patients, it can allow revealing the source of infection. A Database to Assist the Problem Information from the electronic health record can assist in the identification and prevention of the infection (Lee, 2017). Previous studies provide evidence of the efficiency of EHR for identifying risk factors for Clostridium difficile infection relapse in hospital settings (Hebert, Du, Peterson, & Robicsek, 2013). Consequently, similar methods can be applied to identify patients at risk of Candida Auris and define the source of infection. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2017), risk factors for Candida Auris are similar to those typical of other types of Candida infections. Thus, “recent surgery, diabetes, a broad-spectrum antibiotic, and antifungal use” are the risk factors to consider (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2017, para. 7). Moreover, patients of nursing homes and those having breathing tubes, feeding tubes, and central venous catheters are at higher risk for Candida Auris infection compared to other patients. At the same time, age is not a meaningful factor for this infection. Thus, a database that can assist the solution of the Candida Auris problem should contain the following patient data extracted from EHR. First of all, it is important to include patients’ personal data, such as their name, date of birth, and gender. They are necessary for further identification of the patient. Also, the patient’s address is included in case it is necessary to check their family. The most informative d
Article 1 Moss, E. (2013). Dessert dilemma. Teaching Children Mathematics, 20 (1), 8-9. The article outlines a problem scenario that can be used for helping students who are familiar with “fraction meanings and representations” (Moss, 2013, p. 8) to master the concept. The problem is also suitable for young learners who are performing algorithms without focusing on the context of a situation. The scenario involves two pans of brownies and encourages students to think about the units of measurement. Besides, the problem presented in the article can help educators to eradicate common errors associated with fraction addition. Moss (2013) argues that students are exceptionally energized by the discussion of the problem and adds that “the scenario capitalizes on both a fondness for cookouts and desserts” (p. 9). The author stresses that learners should be encouraged to engage in a group discussion of the problem scenario. Article 2 Wilkerson, T., Bryan, T., & Curry, J. (2012). An appetite for fractions. Teaching Children Mathematics, 19 (2), 90-99. The article discusses a lesson episode in which sixth-graders explore equivalency and division infractions. The instructional sequence revolves around “the candy bar model” (Wilkerson, Bryan, & Curry, 2012, p. 99) that involves the use of chocolate for exploring relationships between fractions. The researchers argue that students’ understanding of the mathematical concept has substantially evolved over the sequence. Wilkerson et al. (2012) also emphasize the importance of exposing students to different models to solidify their conceptual understanding of equivalency infractions. The authors describe common misunderstanding associated with the learning sequence and argue that they can be eliminated through collective discussions that involve the use of fractional pieces as a learning aid. The article provides invaluable insights into approaches to developing students’ understanding of fractions. Synthesis of Both Articles The activities described in the articles can produce several solutions, which can also help students to better understand how shares can be partitioned. Also, young learners exposed to the fraction problem involving sweets can inadvertently make connections with ot
