The location where one encounters the divine demarcates itself from the rest of the world and becomes a sacred place. The “sacred” connotes reverence and respect as illustrated in Exodus 3:5, where the Lord told Moses: "Do not come closer. Remove your sandals from your feet, for the place on which you stand is holy ground.” Whereas Jerusalem is just a common city in an ordinary man 's eyes, this viewpoint changes dramatically when it comes to a religious man. For the three monotheistic religions

an UDPTA claim because they are opinion or “mere puffery.” General statements of comparison or superiority are puffery and are not actionable as a matter of law. See, e.g., Longman v. Food Lion, Inc., 197 F.3d 675, 685 (4th Cir.1999); J.I. Case Threshing Mach. Co. v. Feezer, 152 N.C. 516, 67 S.E. 1004, 1006 (1910). Dr. Stout could not have reasonably thought that these statements were more than opinion on the part of the Hospital’s CEO. This is especially true in light of the

David, the second king of Israel, was the youngest of Jesse's eight sons. History celebrates him as a skilled musician. Scholars credit him with writing much of the Book of Psalms. David, an ancestor of Jesus (a.k.a. Son of David), also prophesied about the coming Messiah, won fame and renown for defeating Israel's enemies, and built the temple in Jerusalem. But despite these distinctions, David occasionally committed several disgraceful acts of great sinfulness. Christians commonly think of David’s

Three of the character traits I describe Napoleon are hypocrite, weak, and a great leader. “Napoleon announce that the windmill was to be built after all… Why then asked somebody, had he spoken strongly against it?” (Orwell pg. 51-52). Although at first, Napoleon strongly opposed to Snowball’s idea of the windmill, he later on ordered the animals of the creation of the windmill. Without his subordinate, Squealer, the animals would have suspected something about him. “Once again the animals were conscious

Jonathan Edwards uses many vivid images to make and reinforce his point to the members of his congregation. Perhaps the most powerful image is the extended metaphor of God holding the sinner over the pit of hell. “…there is nothing between you and Hell but the air; it is only power and mere pleasure of God that holds you up.” This image would have been even more powerful in Edwards’ time than it is today, as Puritan worshippers were regularly exposed to the idea of a fiery hell. Edwards also

For the Jewish people, Jerusalem has long been regarded as a special city, chosen by God as he chose the people of Israel. The importance of Jerusalem in the Jewish religious tradition can be traced back to the Hebrew Bible, in which narratives describe the events which make the city sacred. However, these events alone do not make Jerusalem a sacred place; the biblical texts also work together to portray the importance and holiness of Yahweh, the God of Israel. The concept of sacredness is also highlighted

Clayton County, Iowa, USA. John Froelich was a grain elevator operator, and every harvesting season he would go a thresh farmer’s fields, and after years of using his bulky, heavy steam powered threshing machine he decided in 1890 to try and mount a gasoline engine on his threshing machine. The steam powered threshing machine was bulky, hard to transport, and dangerous to use in the fields. Since the thresher was steam powered it was hot, and created sparks that sometime light the fields on fire. John Froelich

If the book could be summarized in a few sentences the following quote would suffice, “As to farming matters, I was certainly not one of those who like to throw themselves into novelties and expenses without knowing what the result might be; but when I was convinced of the superiority of a tool I adopted it without delay. “ This quote not only summarizes the book and the lifestyle of this era, but is also an eye opener of the great differences between the past and present. Tiennon, the main character
