On July 21, 1899, Clarence and Grace Hemingway welcome a baby boy named Ernest Miller Hemingway, in a suburb of Chicago, not knowing that their son’s writings would make literary history, even causing him win a Nobel Prize and Pulitzer Prize. The Hemingway family would often spend time in their cabin in northern Michigan, where the setting of the Nick Adams story The Big Two Hearted River would be set. In high school, Hemingway started writing for his school newspaper, Trapeze and Tabula, usually writing in the sports section. Writing in the sports section of his school newspaper is where he would discover his love for story telling and writing. After high school, Hemingway would continue his writing career, writing for the Kansas City Star.

The criminal justice system views any crime as a crime committed against the state and places much emphasis on retribution and paying back to the community, through time, fines or community work. Historically punishment has been a very public affair, which was once a key aspect of the punishment process, through the use of the stocks, dunking chair, pillory, and hangman’s noose, although in today’s society punishment has become a lot more private (Newburn, 2007). However it has been argued that although the debt against the state has been paid, the victim of the crime has been left with no legal input to seek adequate retribution from the offender, leaving the victim perhaps feeling unsatisfied with the criminal justice process.

I thought your example of the different literary genres using 2 Corinthians and 2 Chronicles was perfect. I was a little confused by your example of a text taken out of context though. The verse you referred to, regarding one man being taken and one man being left, does refer back to the time of Noah's ark. If you continue to read before and after you will see that the Lord is teaching on the rapture. Man will be going about his business like in the days of Noah when the flood occured with no warning. We must always be prepared and in right standing with the Lord. We can't put it off, because we don't know when He will call His children home.

Following the paradigm shift on the role of logistics management in the recent decades, there has been a wide recognition of this as a very important aspect a business strategy in general.

It is known to us, “in each industry, the customer is god, is operator's food and clothing parents.” This tells us that customers are important to organizations. With the current intense competition in logistics nowadays, most companies can provide high quality goods, even are willing to cut down prices if reasonable. However, how can suppliers gain a competitive advantage when high quality is expected and price must be maintained at a level to generate a reasonable return? In our views, it is no doubt that how various supplier service activities are valued by customers, more specifically, that is, the ability of logistics
