County council

is a region at the top of the globe consisting of Canada, the United States of America, Finland, Denmark (Greenland), Russia, Iceland, Sweden, and Norway. These countries form the Arctic council and are responsible for protecting and managing the affairs within the Arctic. The main reason that there is a Council is because it makes progress in the Arctic more productive and it is easier to manage the Arctic when there is a specific body set up to manage the Arctic. When all of the countries are…

readings one can see that Urban II used family and God to convince people to fight for their brothers and sisters in Christ, end injustice, and do for God and their ancestors what has been done for them. In the beginning of Urban II’s speech located at Council of Clermont titled Fulcher of Chartres, Urban II was speaking kindly to the audience. He did not claim that the people were far from God and were in need for someone to save…

Religion played a role in the origins of the Crusades or Holy War. Pope Urban ii called a meeting to deal with the religious issues, to free the Holy Land from the Turks. He form an army and head to Jerusalem, to have a Crusade. Anyone killed on this quest would go to directly to heaven. Some of the first responders were Peter the Hermit and Walter the Penniless, whose followers were some of the poor from Germany and France. They would soon destroy the Muslims and the Holy Land. This would…

2 Based on the Bowman reading, what are the relative pluses and minuses of a city government with a strong elected mayor versus an appointed city manager? Mayors tend to be the most prominent figures in the city government primarily because their position automatically makes them the center of attention. A strong mayor structure establishes the mayor as the sole chief executive who exercises substantive policy responsible. The more of these powers a mayor has the stronger her or his position is…

IF I WERE ELECTED MAYOR I would put policies in place to help stop the crime and hire more police to patrol high crime areas. I would also help establish better laws for the state to help us improve on how we spend money to help poor people and provide better low-income housing and help unemployed people get better jobs. I would also help improve our local schools and their facilities. This includes a better library , cafeteria, bathroom, and provide better lunches from McDonalds, Burger…

On April 17, 2015, a protest group, which included Eric Sheppard, walked on the American Flag in the front of Odum Library at Valdosta State University. This was in an effort to protest racism in our country. Shortly after, a local veteran, Michelle Manhart, was detained for taking the flag from the protest group in what was her attempt to be able to dispose of the ripped flag properly. She was not charged but was banned from VSU in the future (ValdostaDailyTimes). I could not believe what I was…

t 's been a few years since I 've been to Clementon, so having the day off last Wednesday I took a ride up to see the town. In the 1970s I lived in an apartment on Blackwood-Clementon Road in Lindenwold and had a friend who lived on top of the Park Grill. The town had a distinct look, with its older buildings, pool hall, and feed store – something you don 't usually see at the mall. Most of my time there was spent drinking beer in the Park Grill or drinking beer and eating seafood at the Palm…

Introduction Lumpkin County Parks and Rec was an experience I will never forget. As a future educator, it showed me how to treat children and how not to treat them. The program that I attended was only during the summer and was open from seven in the morning to six in the afternoon. There were around three to four college-aged counselors at a time looking after the children. None of the counselors were 4ducation majors, so they were not learning the different techniques of disciplining and…

I was born in the wrong century; a combination of an imperfect school education and broad parents produced a curious child who dreamed of many different occupations. Growing up in Fayetteville, North Carolina, I’ve seen interests and talents splattered across the entire state. There were Spring Lake Middle School sport coaches who researched different exercises for training players, cross country runners who dabbled in cancer research, and many more occupations. Thus, these people influenced my…
