Titans Besides monsters and gods in Greek mythology, there is Titans. Titans were powerful leaders of the world in certain criteria. There were six females and six males. More familiarly, males titans were known as “Titans.” Less familiarly, female Titans were known as “Titaness.” These Titans were the offspring of Uranus and Gaea. Uranus was not only the father to these titans but also the father of sky in Greek mythology. Gaea, however, was the mother of earth. Uranus and Gaea named these…

the things which become sound doctrine: 2 That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience." Titus possessed organizational skills and the ability to select leadership. Titus 1:5 (NIV) "The reason I left you in Crete was that you might put in order what was left unfinished and appoint elders in every town, as I directed you." Titus is more than teacher of doctrine, church administrator, exhorter of the faith; he has the same love for people as Paul. He was a…

What were the conditions of World War I Australian nurses compared to World War II Australian Nurses and were there outstanding changes in the different wars? We all hear how much nurses affected the war but how much is known about their experiences? Since the 100 years of Anzac we have found out so much more about the experiences of World War I nurses with series such as the ABC Anzac Girls. Less is known about the nurses of World War II nurses to the general public. What were the differences…

There are 67 moons that orbit Jupiter but the four largest are Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto.

2 Timothy The book of 2 Timothy is the second of two pastoral letters or epistles sent to Timothy by Paul while he was a prisoner in Rome. It was written sometime before Paul’s death in AD 66 (Hindson & Towns, 2013, p. 500) and probably written around four years after he wrote 1 Timothy and told Timothy to “fight the good fight” (1 Tim 1:18). The dominant theme of 2 Timothy is the church's departure from the truth (Hindson & Towns, 2013, p. 498) however, the letter is broken down further into…

without Paul’s judgement on who to appoint, early churches would have most certainly failed. An example of someone who Paul appointed to lead a church would be Titus. Paul does this in the letter of Titus in which he says,”The reason I left you in Crete was that you might put in order what was left unfinished and appoint elders in every town, as I directed you” (Titus 1:5.) Everywhere Paul went, he attempted to leave the churches in good shape, which sometimes meant appointing people. Without…

Part A: The Palace of Knossos is the most complex structure existing from the ancient Minoan Civilization on the island of Crete. It was built in the Minoan political center of Knossos by King Minos around 1900 BC. The palace is an extremely intricate building standing five stories with large, beautiful paintings on its walls known as frescos; it even had indoor plumbing. It is apparent that only the most important people in Minoan society lived in the palace because of its grandeur and beauty…

ceremonies. For example, a small statue of the so- called Snake goddess was found or made in Crete. This piece of Minoan art is a goddess or priestess holding snakes. Furthermore, Minoan pottery was another form of art that was created. They were decorated with energetic designs. Some of the pottery they made, for example, was the Spouted jar and the Octopus Vase. They are both located at the Archaeologist Museum in Crete, Greece for…

to speak with a few citizens who too have lived here just as long as I have. The people I was able to speak with were two Palestine siblings who study medicine here at Governors State University and a group of young African American boys who attend Crete Monee High School. (I will not be disclosing any names of these participants at their request.) Growing up I noticed University Park was mostly populated with African Americans…
