Religion and the Founding of the American Republic | Exhibitions This exhibition demonstrates that many of the colonies that in 1776 became the United States of America were settled by men and women of deep religious convictions who in the seventeenth century crossed the Atlantic Ocean to practice their faith freely. That the religious intensity of the original settlers would diminish to some extent over time was perhaps to be expected, but new waves of eighteenth century immigrants brought their own religious fervor across the Atlantic and the nation's first major religious revival in the middle of the eighteenth century injected new vigor into American religion. The result was that a religious people rose in rebellion against Great Britain in 1776, and that most American statesmen, when they began to form new governments at the state and national levels, shared the convictions of most of their constituents that religion was, to quote Alexis de Tocqueville's observation, indispensable to the maintenance of republican institutions.

National Geographic Live! - Face-to-Face with a Leopard Seal Welcome to Writing-World.com! Nerd Paradise - How to Write A Research Paper Posted on: 10 Cado 7:0 - 5.27.29 So you've procrastinated again. You told yourself you wouldn't do this 2 months ago when your professor assigned you this. Pick a Topic The more "legally-oriented" your topic is, the better. Make a list ...of every possible outcome that this issue could cause in...the near future...the far future...of every person that this topic affects....of any instances where this topic has come in the news....what you would do about this topic if you had the chance/power/enough-sugar...any little detail you can think ofThe important thing about this is to think of ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING, no matter how silly or far-fetched. Reorder everything Put your most obvious argument first. Then put weird off the wall stuff, regardless of importance. Put the strongest argument for your case next. Now list the incidents that will help argue for your point. Now, list everything that could be construed to be the answer to the question "if elected, what would you do about this issue?"
These Scientists Studied Why Internet Stories Go Viral. You Won't Believe What They Found A few weeks ago, the Wall Street Journal profiled Gawker editor Neetzan Zimmerman, whose job is to post content that's poised to go viral. Zimmerman does his job quite well. His posts generate about 30 million pageviews a month--tops at the site by far, six times what the second-leading staffer generates. If the traffic numbers don't already show the wisdom of Zimmerman's approach, the behavioral evidence certainly does. Take a recent a study published in the November issue of Computers in Human Behavior. After the viewing, participants were asked whether or not they would share that video with someone else. Part of what makes emotional content so susceptible to spreading is that emotions themselves are contagious. The physiological arousal produced by certain emotions may also help explain why some web content goes viral and some doesn't. But Berger and Milkman didn't stop their analysis there. Then again, many factors influence whether or not something goes viral.
Así son los brutales campos de concentración asiáticos de los que nadie habla Han sido quemados vivos, abandonados en el mar, vendidos como esclavos. Ni siquiera existen como ciudadanos en su propio país. Los rohingya son una etnia formada por unos 1,3 millones de personas y no tienen amigos, ni aliados. Aunque casi nadie sepa ni hable sobre ellos, se trata de uno de los pueblos más perseguidos y masacrados del mundo y puede que muy pronto haya que referirse a ellos como las víctimas de un genocidio. A grandes rasgos, el problema de los rohingya radica en que son una minoría musulmana que tradicionalmente ha vivido arrinconada en el oeste de Myanmar (la antigua Birmania). Este ataque, escasamente cubierto por la prensa internacional, es el último de una larga historia de persecución y maltrato, y podría representar la extinción programada de esta etnia: ni el fronterizo Bangladesh ni Indonesia, ni Tailandia ni Camboya están interesados en acogerles, y ahora 140.000 rohingya sobreviven en campos de concentración. El censo de la discordia Situación desesperada
Spelling Bee What are the different ways to play the Visual Thesaurus Spelling Bee? There are two different ways to play. In the Tournament Spelling Bee, you'll be challenged by a series of words, with the spelling difficulty adapted to your skill level. You can also try a Community Spelling Bee generated from one of our subscribers' word lists. How does the Visual Thesaurus Spelling Bee work? Each turn, you'll hear the recording of the word and see its definition (with words suitably omitted that might give away the correct spelling). In the Tournament Spelling Bee, the more words you get right, the higher your score will go. If you play a Community Spelling Bee, the words from the selected word list are presented in random order. What happens if I misspell a word? If you spell a word incorrectly, you can keep guessing for as long as you like. What is the appropriate age level or grade level to play the Spelling Bee? How does the scoring work? How do I see how my score stacks up against other spellers?
Journal Writing Ideas La segunda vida de Ferran Adrià con EL PAÍS Semanal En este reportaje no hay cocinas, hay trayectos. Largos e intensos. Garabateando notas al vuelo. A pie, en tren, en avión, en taxi (Ferran Adrià no tiene coche). Por Barcelona, Madrid, Boston y Nueva York. Todas las mañanas, a partir de las ocho, Adrià recorre a paso de infante los 50 minutos que separan su apartamento de 50 metros, en las inmediaciones de la plaza de España de Barcelona, de su taller, oculto en un palacete del XVIII cercano al mercado de La Boquería, que adquirió en 2000, cuando decidió montar un centro de investigación unido a elBulli; una masa crítica donde se dieran los primeros pasos experimentales en torno a productos y técnicas culinarias que se convirtieran después en platos rompedores en su restaurante: un establecimiento donde cada año todo era nuevo, desde el menú y la vajilla hasta gran parte de la plantilla. Proyecta un aspecto de hombre corriente. Nunca pasó por una escuela de cocina. El éxito desbocado de elBulli se convirtió en su frustración.
El reportatge de TV3 sobre l'extrema dreta que els valencians no van poder veure Ja es pot veure a la xarxa 'A la dreta i més enllà' 'A la dreta i més enllà' és el títol del reportatge que va emetre ahir el programa 'Sense ficció' de TV3. S'endinsa en l'extrema dreta europea, des del Front Nacional de Marine Le Pen i l'Alba Daurada de Grècia fins a fenòmens que tenim a casa nostra, com ara Plataforma per Catalunya i España 2000, entre més. Justament, una part important del reportatge se centrava en l'acció de l'extrema dreta i dels grups ultres blavers del País Valencià, amb l'atenció posada en el dirigent d'España 2000, José Luis Roberto, autor d'actes xenòfobs i anticatalanistes. També es feia ressò dels atacs dels ultres a Burjassot, on Jordi Sebastià, ara eurodiputat i fins fa poc batlle del poble, ha estat objecte de persecució de l'extrema dreta amb la connivència i la participació del PP. Però ahir els valencians no van poder veure el reportatge, perquè TV3 no es pot veure al País Valencià.
Creative Writing Prompts Write a scene that includes a character speaking a different language, speaking in a thick accent, or otherwise speaking in a way that is unintelligibe to the other characters. (Note: You don't necessarily need to know the language the character is speaking—be creative with it!) Describe a character's reaction to something without explaining what it is. See if your fellow prompt responders can guess what it is. Write a story or a scene about one character playing a prank on another. Describe the scene from both characters' points of view. Writing Prompt: Write a story that involves confusion over homonyms (words that have the same spelling but different meanings) or homophones (words that sound the same but are spelled differently). For World Storytelling Day, share the best story you've ever heard or told by word of mouth, or have a fictional character recount their favorite story. You're making your way down a cobbled street when a stocky, red-bearded man beckons you into an alley.
