List of Discussion Titles (By Title) The “Booked for the Evening” book discussion group began March 1999. Our selections have included fiction, mysteries, science fiction, short stories, biographies, non-fiction, memoirs, historical fiction, and young adult books. We’ve been to Europe, Asia, the Middle East, South America, the Antarctic, Africa, India, Australia, Canada, Mexico, and the oceans of the world. We’ve explored both the past and the future. After more than 15 years and over two hundred books, we are still reading, discussing, laughing, disagreeing, and sharing our favorite titles and authors. Please join us for more interesting and lively book discussions. For more information contact the Roseville Public Library 586-445-5407.

  • Dear Student, June 26, 2014 Welcome to AP Environmental
    Dear Student, June 26, 2014 Welcome to AP Environmental Science at School of the Future! During the upcoming school year we will be covering a large range of topics to determine what makes our Earth habitable and how humans impact Earth and its environments. From the very first day, we will also be working towards and preparing for the AP Environmental Science exam given by the College Board in May of 2015. This is an intense course equivalent to a college level introductory environmental science class. To help us hit the ground running next semester, I am asking (and by asking I mean requiring) all APES students to complete the following: 1. Read The World Without Us by Alan Weisman and an environmental science themed novel of your choice (see below for suggestions). Then use what you have learned from these books to develop and support (with textual evidence) a nuanced claim in response to this question, “Is humankind bad for the Earth?” Think about the impacts that humans have had on Earth, its environments, and the other organisms that inhabit them. Is the impact good? Bad? Somewhere in between? Are there efforts that humans can make to change their impact upon the Earth? Keep these questions in mind while reading and writing. NOTE: The fictional selections below don’t always take place on Earth so feel free to interpret “Earth” as “the planet humans are living on.” Your essay should be at least three pages in length and contain APA/MLA formatted citations as well as a biography. A paper copy of the completed essay is due in class on Thursday, September 4th.

Bodies of Knowledge: The Presentation of Personified Figures in Engraved Allegorical Series Produced in the Netherlands, 1548-1600 Abstract During the second half of the sixteenth century, engraved series of allegorical subjects featuring personified figures flourished for several decades in the Low Countries before falling into disfavor. Designed by the Netherlandsâ?? leading artists and cut by professional engravers, such series were collected primarily by the urban intelligentsia, who appreciated the use of personification for the representation of immaterial concepts and for the transmission of knowledge, both in prints and in public spectacles. The pairing of embodied forms and serial format was particularly well suited to the portrayal of abstract themes with multiple components, such as the Four Elements, Four Seasons, Seven Planets, Five Senses, or Seven Virtues and Seven Vices. While many of the themes had existed prior to their adoption in Netherlandish graphics, their pictorial rendering had rarely been so pervasive or systematic.

It's that simple, and we can't afford to ignore them, anymore than I can afford to neglect my precious wife--nor the sweet mother Earth that births and holds us all. Without us, Earth will abide and endure; without her, however, we could not even be. That may seem far-fetched, but it's also a definition of prayer. Nothing remains the same. Who would ever have imagined that an organism would essentially turn itself inside out, pulling its shoulder girdle inside its ribs to form a carapace? The only real prediction you can make is that life The World Without Us go on. And that it will be interesting. To enter it is to realize that most of us were bred to a pale copy of what nature intended.

And, on some cellular level, how complete. Since the Milky Way islight-years across and 1, light-years thick, and our solar system is near The World Without Us middle of the galactic plane, this means in about AD the expanding sphere of radio The World Without Us bearing Lucy, Ricky, and their neighbors the Mertzes will emerge from the top and bottom of our galaxy and enter intergalactic The World Without Us.

  • Basics of the Church Sermon Title: Baptism Scripture Reading: Romans 6:1-11 Clearwater Bay International Baptist Church February 10, 2019 S.C
    Sermon Series: Basics of the Church Sermon title: Baptism Scripture Reading: Romans 6:1-11 Clearwater Bay International Baptist Church February 10, 2019 S.C. Brown, Pastor Next week we will begin a new series called The Big Picture where we will take a look at the major themes of the Bible; somewhat of a Bible overview in several weeks. Before we do that next week, I have one free Sunday where I’d like to take the opportunity to tackle the topic of Baptism. What is Baptism? Why do we do it? What does it mean? How should we do it? You might think that is an easy question but maybe nothing has caused so much division amongst the Christian church as the topic of Baptism. Let’s pray together and ask God’s help. ————————————————————————- Our church is called Clearwater Bay International Baptist Church. Clearwater Bay kind of our area. International is who we are. We are a multiethnic congregation and in Hong Kong, “International” usually means our services are in English. But what about the B word…Baptist? Why is that there? Why are we Baptists? "1 Let me give you a simplified little history. Baptist groups came out of the Protestant Reformation in the 1500 & 1600’s because they didn’t baptize babies like almost everyone else. So, they were called ‘Anabaptists’, because they were baptized again, convinced that they were to be baptized as believers and not as infants. They were persecuted by Protestants and Catholics alike due to their getting baptized as adults, re-baptized, even though they had been baptized as babies.

  • Title: the Grammar of Slavic Honorifics Author: Gilbert C
    Title: The Grammar of Slavic Honorifics Author: Gilbert C. Rappaport, University of Texas at Austin Agreement is the morphosyntactic process by which an inherent property of one syntactic element (the controller) affects the grammatical form of another element (the target). The well-documented phenomenon of mixed agreement results when a single controller gives contradictory results in two targets. An example is the well-known Russian наш врач Вера Ивановна пришла ‘ourMasc doctor Vera Ivanovna arrivedFem’, or in British English the committeeSg havePl decided. Mixed agreement almost invariably entails one of the controller values being semantically transparent (the feminine and plural predicates above, respectively). In Slavic, mixed agreement can involve gender, number, or person. The author has been developing a theory of mixed agreement in Slavic based on the distinction between a lexical Noun Phrase (NP), where lexically-determined grammatical features reside, and a functional Determiner Phrase (DP) containing the NP, where referential features reside. Consistent with the Agreement Hierarchy (Corbett 1979), in cases of mixed agreement the form of the predicate is more semantically transparent than is the form of an attributive, because the predicate ‘sees’ the DP, but not the NP inside the DP. The present paper looks at Slavic honorific constructions in which a conflict between form and content can be observed, possibly giving mixed agreement, but not necessarily. In Russian Доктор, что Вы советуетe? ‘Doctor, what do you advisePl’, the plural verb form stands in conflict with the singular reference of the pronoun. Mixed agreement is seen in Где Ваше благородие были? ‘Where wasPl yourSg honor?’ Such examples indicate that the honorific plural (pluralis maestaticus) applies at the DP level, not the NP level.
