Milton Kuyers is a son of factory worker who grew up in Jenison, MI. He attended Calvin College and graduated with an accounting degree. He worked in the public accounting atmosphere for more than 5+ years when he realized that he wanted more of a life with his family.

1. Coming out of the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, different views of federalism were carried: (1) Alexander Hamilton believed that the national government was the superior and leading force in political affairs, since the people created it and its laws were the “supreme law of the land;” (2) Thomas Jefferson believed that “the people” were the ultimate sovereigns, and since the states was a result of agreement among the states, the states were supreme over the national gov’t.

In chapter 8, Grant recalls his own teacher Matthew Antoine. Mr. Antoine hated teaching and his own students. To Mr. Antoine education is only good for making new teachers which sustain the cycle of uselessness. As Mr. Antoine becomes older he sees no evidence that education can lead to an improvement in the real word. Mr. Antoine describes to Grant that you can teach a black child but they won’t do any good for themselves with what you taught them. He says that blacks are just meant to run away. Mr. Antoine hates himself for the color he bears. ‘When you see that those five and a half months you spend in that church each year are just a waste of your time, you will. You will. You’ll see that it’ll take more than five and a half months

In chapter 11 of the textbook Ruddiman talks about two main greenhouse gases CO2 and methane and how they stayed around in our atmosphere, ice sheets, and land for thousands of years. He states that cores of todays ice sheets contain vital climatic signals which can be found under the center of an ice sheet. Drilling these ice sheets can take longer than a single summer, but in the end this information is crucial. Scientists look at carbon isotopes to determine how carbon has moved along time. Ruddiman states they move in two forms, organic carbon and inorganic carbon. He also says that when the ice sheets were large in size carbon dioxide concentrations were low, but when ice sheets were small or nonexistent then CO2 was higher. There are

Chapter 401 is broken down into three parts the emergency telecommunication systems, emergency medical services grants, and medical transportation services. The emergency telecommunication systems are intended to provide a system of regional emergency telecommunication that can effectively use radio channels to provide emergency medical service to the population. These telecommunications include voice, data, signaling transmissions, and receptions between the emergency service components. The emergency medical telecommunications system is coordinated and developed by the Department of Management Services. The second part is the emergency medical services grants. Intentions of this legislation are to provide all citizens with adequate emergency

1. The description of Acts 7 paints a clear and accurate picture of what is being described inside Sanhedrin, the highest court in Jerusalem. Stephen had been arrested and brought before the court where the high priest asks Stephen if the charges of blasphemy an alleged attack against the law are true. Instead of defending himself, Stephen addresses the court with a formal charge against the Jews. In addition, Stephen delivers his sermon by chronologically walking the court through a geographical narrative starting with God's covenant with Abraham. Stephen reminded the Jewish leaders about Mesopotamia the origin of their ancestor Abraham and his journey with God. Abraham received instructions from God to leave his country and everyone behind

In the beginning of the book, Pink opens with an analogy. He uses the success of Wikipedia vs the failure of Encarta. He talks about Motivation 2.0 which was an upgrade to what drove people in contrast to the nature urges our caveman ancestors practiced. Motivation 2.0 was based on a rewards and punishment philosophy and led us into the industrial and economic eras. Then a businessman and entrepreneur during the industrial age came up with the idea that in the workforce, everyone was part of a well-oiled machine and each person was rewarded for a job well done or disciplined for a poor job. Carrots and sticks is what this system was referred to as the carrots represented the reward dangling in front of the worker and the stick used to punish the worker. Near the middle of the 20th century, scholars and psychologist found that workers were becoming dissatisfied in the workplace and the carrot and

The first chapter was an introduction to who some of the characters were and what their role as people in the plot was. This was beneficial to me as a reader because I understood what was going to happen but it didn’t give away any events leading up to that point. Chapter one also gave background information on the main character Jean Louise “Scout” Finch and her brother Jeremy “Jem” Finch. Like how their family came to be and the events leading up to Jem’s broken arm. I can relate to Jem because I broke my arm and now my left arm is slightly shorter than my right just like his. Chapter two is similar to chapter one in terms of giving information about the characters and their life as they ventured into the school year. This chapter introduces

“That's part of the bad. We don't go over there. They want you to be one of them and let your mom die of natural causes. If that happens then all of this gets ruined.”

Chapter 1: The Boy Who Lived. Little 8 year old me sat curled up on the library floor with my nose in “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone”. I was fascinated by witches who turned into cats, flying broomsticks and quidditch, secret passageways and three-headed dogs, and most of all by these three kids about my age having these wonderful adventures. I was inspired by their courage and intelligence. It would be my favorite book from then, until now as I am sitting here writing this letter wearing a ravenclaw sweater, and for many years to come. These were the books that made me like reading. One reason that these are important is because in a time where young girls are given barbie dolls and makeup and told they should look pretty, Hermione provides an excellent and encouraging

In, "Responses of Metabolites in Soybean Shoot Apices to Changing Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Concentrations," Richard Sicher did a study on soybean plants and focused specifically on he the shoot apices when the plants are in higher carbon dioxide environment. For the experiment, he harvested several shoot apices and analyzed their metabolites by using a gas chromatography. The findings showed that out of twenty-one compounds only sucrose and fructose were the only ones to increase in response to the elevated carbon dioxide. An unknown metabolite that was found called Unk-21.03 was shown to decrease up to eighty percent when it was put in the elevated carbon dioxide environment. It is said that this experiment helps show the growth of plants
