Alabaster, Alabama

Template:About

Template:Infobox settlement

**Alabaster** is a city and southern suburb of Birmingham in Shelby County, Alabama, United States. At the 2000 census the population was 22,619. According to the 2005 U.S. Census estimates, the city had a population of 27,517.

## Location

Alabaster is located at Template:Coord (33.231162, -86.823829)Template:GR.

The city has a total area of 20.6 square miles (53.2 km²). 20.5 square miles (53.0 km²) of it is land and 0.1 square miles (0.1 km²) of it (0.24%) is water.

## History

Shelby County, which is the geographical center of Alabama, was created on 7 February 1818 by an act of the Alabama Territorial General Assembly. The county was named for Isaac Shelby. He was a hero of the King's Mountain Battle during the American Revolutionary War. Alabama gained statehood on 14 December 1819.

Many of the first settlers came from South Carolina, Tennessee, and Kentucky. Many came to this region after the Battle of Horseshoe Bend in 1814. The 1820 census records say that Shelby County contained 2,492 people at that time, 2,044 whites and 448 Africans.

U.S. Highway 31 was a two-lane highway at that time. Because it was the main artery from Birmingham to Montgomery, the highway played an important part in the growth of the community.

George L. Scott, Sr. was an Alabaster pioneer. He owned and operated Alabaster Lime Co. His shipping point, which was named after him, was known as “Scott Rock”. Later, houses were built for his employees to live in. These houses became a community. It got its name from alabaster, a white chalky mineral. The First Bank of Alabaster opened in 1952. Its president was George L. Scott, Jr. He later became the first mayor of Alabaster. The first attempt in 1952 to incorporate Alabaster failed. In January 1953 the petition was filed again. On 23 February 1953, Alabaster was officially incorporated. There were 427 people living there. Other Alabaster pioneers were Kenton B. Nickerson and William J. Maxwell. In 1955, the Alabaster Water and Gas Board was formed. Alabaster merged with the adjoining city of Siluria, Alabama April 27, 1971.

Today, Shelby County is the fastest-growing county in Alabama.

Adonizedek

**Adonizedek** was king in Jerusalem at the time when the Israelites invaded Palestine. He formed a confederacy with the other Canaanite kings against the Israelites, but was utterly routed by Joshua when he was engaged in besieging the Gibeonites.

## Etymology

The name Adoni-zedek follows a pattern of the great Melchizedek from the days of Abraham. Literally the name means "Lord of Righteousness (or Justice)". This is much like Melchizedek, which means "King of Righteousness." The similarity may show a connection to the early history of the city. If anything, it demonstrates a decline in the authority of the leader at Jerusalem. What had been a king's reign had become that of a "lord."

## Extra-canonical verification of Biblical account

Among the Tell Amarna tablets are some very interesting letters from Adoni-zedec to the King of Egypt. These illustrate in a very remarkable manner the history recorded  and indeed throw light on the wars of conquest generally, so that they may be read as a kind of commentary on the book of Joshua. Here the conquering career of the Abiri (i.e., Hebrews) is graphically described: "Behold, I say that the land of the king my lord is ruined", "The wars are mighty against me", "The Hebrew chiefs plunder all the king's lands", "Behold, I the chief of the Amorites am breaking to pieces." Then he implores the king of Egypt to send soldiers to help him, directing that the army should come by sea to Ascalon or Gaza, and thence march to Wru-sa-lim (Jerusalem) by the valley of Elah.

Meaning: angry.
This is perhaps only a general title of royalty applicable to the Philistine kings.

The name of two biblical kings:

The king with whom David sought refuge when he fled from Saul . He is also called Abimelech .

It was probably this same king to whom David traveled a second time at the head of a band of 600 warriors, and who assigned him Ziklag, with whom he carried on war against the surrounding tribes .

Achish had great confidence in the valor and fidelity of David  but at the instigation of his courtiers did not permit him to go up to battle along with the Philistine hosts . David remained with **Achish** a year and four months.

Adrian Willaert

File:Adrian Willaert.jpg
**Adrian Willaert** (pronounce: AH-dree-ahn VIL-art), (born Flanders about 1490; died Venice, 7 December 1562) was a Flemish composer in the Renaissance period. He was one of the most important composers of his time. He went to Italy when he was young and spent the rest of his life there. He belonged to the group of composers who lived and worked in Venice at the time, and who were known as the “Venetian School”.

## Life

He may have been born in Bruges which is now in Belgium, although we are not sure. One of his students, Gioseffo Zarlino, who became a well-known music theorist, said that Willaert went to Paris first to study law, but then decided to study music. In Paris he met Jean Mouton, the main composer of the French royal chapel, and studied with him. Mouton taught him to write music in the style of Josquin, whose music was very polyphonic with the voices imitating one another a lot.

Sometime around 1515 Willaert first went to Rome. There is a story, which is probably true, that Willaert was surprised to find the Pope’s choir singing something he had composed. The choir thought it had been composed by Josquin, who was very famous by then. When the young Willaert told them that he himself was the composer, the choir did not believe the young man, and refused to sing it again.

In July 1515, Willaert worked for the Cardinal Ippolito I d'Este of Ferrara. Ippolito liked to travel, and he often took Willaert and other musicians with him to places such as Hungary, where he probably spent two years, from 1517 to 1519. When Ippolito died in 1520, Willaert worked for Duke Alfonso d'Este of Ferrara. In 1522 Willaert had a job at the court chapel of Duke Alfonso; he stayed there until 1525.

Willaert then got the most important musical job in the whole of Europe at that time: he became maestro di cappella (director of music) at the church of St. Mark's at Venice. The director who had been there before had not been very good, so Willaert made the music in that church really great again. He stayed in that job until his death. He was very famous and young composers came from all over Europe to study with him and learn how to be a composer.

## Musical style and influence

Willaert was one of the greatest composers of the Renaissance and the most important composer in Europe between the death of Josquin and the time of Palestrina.

He wrote music in lots of forms, especially church music, madrigals and instrumental pieces called ricercar.

Amalek

Template:Infobox Nation**Amalek** was a nation, presumably descending from Eliphaz' son Amalek, whom was conceived with his concubine Timna, that was at war with Israel when they first left Egypt.

## History

### **First Battle with Israel**

Amalek first battled Israel in the wilderness of Rephidim. Moses sent Joshua to fight Agag, which might be a title for Amalekite kings. The Lord told Moses that when his hand is raised, Israel would prevail against Amalek but if his hand is down, Amalek will prevail over Israel, so throughout the entire battle Moses has his hands up, with the help of two helpers. Eventually, Israel prevails over Amalek fully.
Alexandrina Maria da Costa

File:Alexandrina Maria da Costa.JPG
**Alexandrina Maria da Costa** (30 March 1904 – 13 October 1955) also known as **Santinha de Balasar** (Little Saint of Balasar), **Alexandrina de Balasar** and in English as **Alexandrina of Portugal** was a Portuguese mystic, who was born and died in Balasar (a rural parish of Póvoa de Varzim). Alexandrina left many written works, which have been studied mainly in Italy by Fr Umberto Pasquale and Signorile couple. On 25 April 2004 she was declared blessed by Pope John Paul II. Template:Citation needed

At 14 years old, Alexandrina jumped from a window to escape a man who pursued her. As a result, Alexandrina suffered a gradual paralysis that confined her to bed from 1925 onward. In 1935, she asked the Pope for the consecration of the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and this was done on 30 October 1942.

In Ireland there is an Alexandrina Society that spreads knowledge of her life and teachings.The aims of the Society are 1) To spread devotion to Alexandrina and make her known, 2) To pray for the conversion of sinners, 3) To pray for Priests and acknowledge any favours received, 4) To pray for members' intentions.

Francis Reynolds, founder of the Irish Society, died on September 4, 2006 in Belturbet,Co.Cavan.

There are two biographies of Alexandrina da Costa currently in print in English: "Alexandrina: The Agony and the Glory". Francis Johnston 1949 (Tan Books Rockford, Illinois) and "Alexandrina da Costa: The Mystical Martyr of Fatima". Leo Madigan. 2005. (Fatima Orphel Books, Fatima, Portugal.)

Acoelomorpha

Template:Taxobox

The **Acoelomorpha** are a group of animals with features that were once put in the phylum Platyhelminthes (flatworms).

In 2004 molecular studies showed that this was wrong.

Now it is clear that their closest relatives are the Xenoturbellida, and the two groups make up the proposed new phylum, the Xenacoelomorpha.

Most researchers believe them to be basal among the bilateria, slightly more derived than the Cnidaria. Recent results suggest that they (along with *Xenoturbella*) may lie near the base of the deuterostomes. An ongoing collaborative research project has "the researchers ... confident that they can reach an agreement about where acoels fit in evolutionary history".

"The results show that the two groups constitute a newly classified phylum... which the authors name the ’Xenacoelomorpha’. The xenacoelomorph phylum joins the three known phyla of deuterostomes: vertebrates (including humans), echinoderms (e.g. starfish) and hemichordates (acorn worms)".
Acoels are almost entirely marine, living between grains of sediment, swimming as plankton, or crawling on algae. Acoels have a statocyst, which presumably helps them orient to gravity. Their soft bodies make them difficult to classify.

Abi-Albon

Template:TLI
Template:Infobox Person

**Abi-albon** (called also **Abiel**) was from the town of Beth-Arabah in the wilderness of Judah. He became a member of David's bodyguard, that also served as the Israelite army's military officers.

As a member of David's private army, he assisted him in his fight against the reign of his predecessor and father-in-law Saul.

## Etymology

As a member of David's mighty men, the name Abi-albon, meaning "father of strength" (i.e., "valiant.") or "My father is overpowering", was probably a nickname known to his contemporaries, such a the prophet Nathan, who probably preserved the records of the King. Later, in the Chronicles, he is called Abiel, meaning "God is my father," probably indicating that his family was observant of the Law and religion of Moses. On the other hand, Abi-El can also mean "Father of strength (el)," making the two names variants.

## About

The world into which Abiel was born was one of turmoil. War was an ever present reality in the southern wilderness near Philistia. The town known to history as Beth-Arabah was located in the frontier, the battleground where king Saul would fight most of his battles.

Like most towns of any size, the Torah (the Law and History of Moses) was taught to the people by local Levites. Those who believed these teachings and followed them would make journeys to Kirjath-jearim where the ark of the covenant was kept. Among those who followed Yahweh, the names of Yah and El were commonly included in a child such as Abi-albon (born Abi-El).

As civil war broke out under Israel's first king, Saul, his countrymen in Benjamin were among his closest supporters. The men of Judah were supportive of their neighbors, but when Saul turned against David, the young shepherd/warrier found supporters among the villagers in the frontier. When Abiel joined David's band of men, his name probably was changed Abi-Albon. "Albon" is a term of unknown origin and may be used to substitute "el" (strength), the root word for Eloh, God.

Nothing more is known of Abiel other than his origin and destiny as a confident of king David in his early years.

Adam and Eve

File:Chartres Saint-Aignan811.JPG
**Adam and Eve** are the parents of all humans in the Abrahamic religions. In the Book of Genesis in the Bible, as well as the Qu'ran and the Aqdas, they are the first two people made by God.

## Adam

The second chapter of Genesis says that God made Adam from the dust of the ground. Then, God breathed life into him. God made a garden, called the Garden of Eden, for him to live in and take care of. Adam named the animals that God made. God did not provide clothing for Adam or Eve until they disobeyed him. He gave them tunics made out of animal fur when he banished them from Eden. Adam is "The Chosen One".

## Eve

God knew that the animals were not good enough friends for Adam, who needed a partner like him. So God took a rib from Adam and used it to make Eve (meaning "mother of all living"). Adam did not give her this name until God banished from Eden when he provided clothing for them out of animal fur after they disobeyed him.

## The fall and punishment

Chapter three of Genesis says that Adam and Eve had everything they needed in the garden. There was only one thing that God told them that they should *not* do: eat from the Tree of Knowledge; only from the Tree of Life. A serpent said them that God does not want you both to be as intelligent as he is so this forced Eve to disobey God's orders . And they ate the Forbidden fruit. So they were forced to leave Eden. Not only that but God said that women will have pain in childbirth, and that men need to work hard to grow food, and would return at death to the soil from where he once came.

**and that men became have been put above and seen as more powerful than women**

He was part of a study under animal psychologist Irene Pepperberg since 1977 at two different universities: Brandeis University in Massachusetts and before that, University of Arizona. He died on Sept 7, 2007, of yet unknown causes. He knew about 100 words as of 2000, and was not ordinary because he appeared to understand what he said. For example, when Alex was shown an object and was asked about its shape, color, or material, he could label it correctly. If he was asked the difference between two things, he would also answer that, but if there was no difference between the things, he would say “none.”

Alex's name is an acronym. ALEX is short for **A**vian **L**earning **EX**periment.

Abimael

Template:Infobox Person
**Abimael** was the last of thirteen sons of Joktan, brother of Peleg. These brothers were descendants of Shem, living in the region near Babel at the time of the confusion of tongues. They were the ancestors of many Arabian tribes.

One of his brothers was "Jobab," a possible alternate name for "Job." If Job was this man, he would be a Semite, leaving a probability of knowledge of the Template:LORD even in a world that was already forgetting Him.The world in the days were controlled by the likes of Nimrod, a great uncle of Abimael.

It is recorded that a cousin of these sons, Reu, lived to be 239 years. Given this, it could be expected that Abimael might have lived about 200 years as well.

## Etymology

"Abimael" from "my father" and an unknown word "Mael." Since his father is Joktan, then Mael might be a title that was held by that patriarch. A similar name, Abimalek ("My father is Malek (king)") appears later. One possible meaning is "God (El) of {the} fathers" (with "Abim" being a plural of "Ab").

Alexander the Great

Template:Infobox Person

**Alexander The Great** was a Greek prince who would conquer the Persian empire. He grew up in the court of his father King Philip II of Macedonia in Northern Greece. In 336 BC, Philip was murdered and Alexander was declared the successor. After crushing a revolt in the large Greek city of Thebes, he conquered land in Thrace.

Alexander then began his campaign against Persia and its weak emperor Darius III. He crossed the Granicus into Asia Minor and advanced southward into Palestine. He besieged Tyre and destroyed it completely just as the prophets Jeremiah and Ezekiel predicted. He conquered Egypt and then on his way out of Palestine he stopped in Jerusalem where he visited the High Priest and the Temple of the [[Yahweh|Template:LORD]]. He gave the Jews complete religious freedom.

He went East conquering all of the Persian empire up to India. He died in 323 BC as master of an empire and at just 33 years old. His conquest fulfilled many of God's prophecies such as the destruction of Tyre  and the king out of Greece.

**ARCO** (short for **A**tlantic **R**ichfield **Co**mpany, the original name) is a United States oil company. It has operationsn 2 in the United States, Indonesia, the North Sea, and the South China Sea. As of July 2011, it had more than 1,300 gas stations in the western part of the United States.

ARCO's original parent companies included:

* Atlantic Petroleum, which opened its first gas station in 1915 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
* Richfield Oil Company, which opened its first gas station in 1917 in Los Angeles, California.

The two companies merged in 1966, and bought Sinclair Oil Corporation in 1969. In 1978, ARCO opened its first ampm convenience store.

Between 1970 and 2000, ARCO had a complicated corporate history. By 1985, it sold its Eastern US business to a new Atlantic Petroleum. In 2000, the remaining Western US business was bought by British Petroleum (BP). Finally, in 2013, BP sold ARCO and the Carson Refinery to Tesoro for $2.5 billion.

## Oil discovery

In 1957, Richfield was the first to drill for oil in Alaska. On July 15 of that year they struck oil with their first well. It was the first major oil discovery in Alaska and tested at 900 barrels a day. In 1968 they partnered with Exxon for Alaska North Slope oil production. In 1980, they were the seventh largest oil company in the United States.

2016 Berlin attack

File:20151115 Berlin bei Nacht 15-1.jpg
On 19 December 2016 at 20:02 Central European Time, a truck rammed into a crowd of people at a Christmas market in Charlottenburg, Berlin, Germany. This killed 12 people and injured 49 others. The original driver of the truck was found shot dead in the passenger seat.

The incident was a terrorist attack. The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant has claimed responsibility. The perpatrator was Anis Amri, a Tunisian asylum seeker. On 23 December 2016, Amri was shot dead by an Italian police officer in Sesto San Giovanni. German police later confirmed that Amri's fingerprints were the same as those in the truck.

## Attack

The truck that was involved, a Scania semi-trailer truck, was owned by a Polish company named *Usługi Transportowe Ariel Żurawski*. The truck was transporting steel beams to Berlin.

The original truck driver, Lukasz Urban, was believed to have been killed by the perpetrator. He was stabbed and shot in the head. On 19 December 2016, at 20:02 local time, the truck drove through a Christmas market. This killed 12 people. The truck drove 50–80 metres (160–260 ft) and destroyed many booths. Some witnesses saw the driver leave the truck and run towards Tiergarten.

## Reactions

Czech Finance Minister Andrej Babiš said "Unfortunately... [Angela Merkel's open-door migration] policy is responsible for this dreadful act. It was she who let migrants enter Germany and the whole of Europe in uncontrolled waves, without papers, therefore without knowing who they really are." Marcus Pretzell, husband of AfD leader Frauke Petry, tweeted: "When will the German state of law strike back? When will this cursed hypocrisy finally stop? These are Merkel's dead! #Nice #Berlin."

Muslims and Chrisitians held a vigil together after the attack.

Adonibezek

**Adonibezek** was a Canaanite king of Bezek who, having subdued seventy of the chiefs that were around him, attacked the armies of Judah and Simeon, but was defeated and brought as a captive to Jerusalem, where his thumbs and great toes were cut off. He confessed that God had paid him back for for his similar cruelty to the seventy kings that he had subdued.

## Etymology

Adonibezek means "Lord of Bezek". While it very well could have been his real name, it most likely was his title.
Ali Abdullah Saleh

The Houthis said that it was the United Arab Emirates that dragged Saleh to "this humiliating fate."

Achan

**Achan**

Called also Achar / Meaning: one who troubles.

This man was named in in remembrance of his crime  which brought upon him an awful destruction  When Jericho fell, he seized, contrary to the divine command, an ingot of gold, a quantity of silver, and a costly Babylonian garment, which he hid in his tent.

Joshua was convinced that the defeat which the Israelites sustained afterwards at Ai was evidence of God's judgment of some crime. He at once cast lots to discover the criminal. It was then found that Achan was guilty, and he was stoned to death in the valley of Achor. He and all that belonged to him were then consumed by fire, and a heap of stones was raised over the ashes.Template:Stub

**UNDERSTANDING OUR DUAL CITIZENSHI**P

***Philippians 3:20 - "For our citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;"***

As Christians, we are wonderfully privileged to have dual citizenship. We are citizens of earth and citizens of Heaven all at the same time! Many believe we receive our Heavenly citizenship only after we die. The Bible, however, illustrates how connected to Heaven we are while living on earth.

**For example:**

• When we pray on earth, our spirit manifests in Heaven before the throne of God. We read in Hebrews, "Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence" (Heb. 4:16). How, then, can we approach the throne of God in Heaven while we are still here on earth? It happens in the place of prayer – the place where Heaven and earth unite.

• When King David prayed to the Lord, "May my prayer be set before You like incense" (Psalm 141:2), we see the answer to that prayer in Revelation 5. This powerful throne room scene depicts the four living creatures and 24 elders, each with a harp and a golden bowl of incense, and these "golden bowls full of incense – are the prayers of God's people" (v.8)

• Jesus specifically taught us to pray for God's Kingdom to come and His will to be done on earth as it is in Heaven (Matthew 6:8,10). Although Heaven is a future reality, as a result of our prayers we are seeing and experiencing increasing deposits of Heaven on earth today in the form of signs, wonders, miracles, and supernatural activity.

Being citizens of Heaven puts us into direct spiritual conflict on the earth. King Jesus is leading a Kingdom invasion through us and displacing what used to belong to satan. Satan lost his authority over the earth at the Cross, but he didn't lose his power. He still uses his power against us, but we have the name and authority of Jesus to overcome it.

These conflicts appear in many different forms and dimensions, and if we are not aware, we will fail to connect that they are rooted in the spiritual realm. We will erroneously believe we are dealing with just a natural problem, but not be able to solve our problem because it needs a spiritual remedy.

**Amon**

Amon, son of King Manasseh, and mother Meshullemeth, became king of Judah at age 22. His reign lasted 2 years. Amon's reign was an evil one, as was the early years of the reign of his father, Manasseh. Amon sacrificed to pagan idols just as his father did.

But, unlike his father, Amon didn't change, instead he sinned more and more. Finally, his own officers assassinated him in his palace. Then, some citizens killed all those who assassinated him, and declared his son Josiah to be the new king. Amon was buried in a crypt in the garden of Uzza.

Alpha male

An **alpha male** is the top-ranking male in a mammalian social group.

## Origin

Some animals live in a social structure where the most powerful male in the group is decided by either fights or very aggressive battles that sometimes end in death (in the wild). The current alpha male must defend his position from younger members. When he is too old or not strong enough to win, he loses his position in the group. Sometimes, he will die or be forced to leave the group.

The result of this is that the alpha male usually has more opportunity to mate with the available females. This system developed because strong males will produce young which have a better chance for survival.

## Examples

Some animal groups which may have alpha males:

* Dogs, wolves (in captivity)
* Lions
* Apes: chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans
* Horses
* Deer

### Humans

**Alpha male** can also refer to a high-ranked human in a group. This may be in a business setting or sometimes in other competitive areas, like sports. However, this is an extension by metaphor: humans do not have the same mating system as other social mammals. One reason is that the oestrous cycle in humans is different. This has the result that females may be sexually receptive at almost any time. Also, humans generally pair off, and alpha males do not have exclusive rights over all females in a group, except in rare circumstances.

Alfonso Castaldo

Template:Infobox cardinalstyles
**Alfonso Castaldo** (November 6, 1890—March 3, 1966) was an Italian Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church. He served as Archbishop of Naples from 1958 until his death, and was elevated to the cardinalate in 1958.

## Biography

Alfonso Castaldo was born in Casoria to Aniello Castaldo (d. circa 1897) and Marianna Crispino. The third of five children, he was baptized in his home four days later, on November 10, by his paternal uncle, who was a canon by the same name, with the permission of the Naples curia. Castaldo, influenced by Monsignor Francesco Morano and Father Luigi Maglione, decided to pursue a career in the Church, and attended the seminaries in Cerreto Sannita, Pozzuoli, and Naples. He also studied philosophy and letters at the University of Naples.

Ordained a priest by Bishop Angelo Jannacchino on June 8, 1913, Castaldo served as a chaplain to the Italian Army (1915-1918), and a provost in Casoria (1918-1934). On March 27, 1934, he was appointed Bishop of Pozzuoli by Pope Pius XI. Castaldo received his episcopal consecration on the following June 30 from Cardinal Alessio Ascalesi, CPPS, with Bishops Salvatore del Bene and Salvatore Meo serving as co-consecrators.

Pope Pius XII named him Coadjutor Archbishop of Naples, Titular Archbishop of *Thessalonica*, and Apostolic Administrator of Pozzuoli on January 14, 1950. Castaldo became Archbishop of Naples on February 7, 1958, and was created Cardinal Priest of *S. Callisto* by Pope John XXIII in the consistory of December 15 of that same year. On the following August 5, he was named Bishop *ad personam* of Pozzuoli.

The Cardinal attended the Second Vatican Council from 1962 to 1965, and was one of the electors who participated in the 1963 papal conclave, which selected Pope Paul VI. He was highly revered by the people of Naples, and was very involved in welfare, charitable, and educational activities.

Castaldo died in his archiepiscopal residence in Naples at age 75. He is buried in the *Succorro* Chapel in the Cathedral of Naples.
