Division I

Even though Christianity is illegal and Christians can be subject to persecution, the Roman law had the effect of protecting its members of the early Church by not taking into account anonymous accusations and former beliefs of Christianity, giving them multiple opportunities to abandon the Church, and not intruding into their personal lives. In the letter of Emperor Trajan to Governor Pliny, Trajan replies that Pliny did the right thing in executing Christians who repeatedly confirmed they were…

Flavius Valerius Constantinus, later know to the world as Constantine the Great, was born on February 21, 272 A.D. His father was Falavius Valerius Constantius; also know as Emperor Constantius I, reined in the Western Roman Empire.

when my best friend *Jim and I went to Garden City to a church event. About two years ago my best friend Jim and I were on our way to Garden to the church event. Jim was a somewhat of a bad person Jim has gotten in more trouble than I have. He has gotten in trouble with the cops. Jim and I were sixteen years old at the time. The church event was an overnight event and the guys stayed at the church. Then he told me of an idea that we should mess with people at night. I said, “We shouldn’t do it…

The numbers do not really show the order they will be presented in. They are there just to keep track of how many questions I have. Today I am here with native Sydneysider, Ed Kennedy, to ask a few questions about his journey as the messenger. Ed, now that you know you delivered joy to these people who were lost in their life, what impact does it place on you and others who feel they serve no purpose in life? This journey was definitely a giant whirlwind of emotions and feelings, and it…

During Abdul Hamid I, “he found a treasury so depleted that he would not pay to the Janissaries the donative customary at the start of each reign.” His “ministers had ruled over an empire, exhausted by war, which for some thirteen years was to be relieved by a spell of relative peace.” After Abdul Hamid I, Selim III became a sultan. Kinross describes him that “Selim was a young man of energy and vision, bent on the salvation and reform of his country.” He founded “Nizam-I Jedid, or “The New…

I believe that the current location of Camelot is in Tintagel in North Cornwall. After a summer fire burned away surfaces of the earth, it revealed hundreds of buildings that had previously been on the site. This could indicate the civilization of the people of Camelot. Also, a slate with rare inscriptions was found on the site that dated back to the 5th century, the time period of King Arthur. Another interesting indicator that this may be the location of Camelot is the cave located on the…

night, I went to Madonna’s Rebel Heart tour. It was held in Rogers arena where is the home of the Vancouver Canucks hockey team, as well as venue for some of the biggest concerts and shows in the city. It is located at 800 Griffiths Way in the downtown area of Vancouver. The Rebel Heart Tour is the tenth worldwide concert in support of Madonna’s thirteenth studio album. It is so embarrassing that I have never listened to her songs before, although Madonna is an icon of popular music. So when I…

Everyone was in the basement putting on their costumes, and I was getting my stuff ready. We had to use paint to make it look like it was blood, but the paint wasn’t that much alike so now we had a problem. We didn’t know what to do, then a lady came in with more paint all were different types of red, yet none looked like blood. I decide to try to mix some of the paints to see if it would work, so I sat down on a corner and started mixing the colors. The mixture was good it came…

When I arrived at the training grounds, everyone were in groups talking amongst themselves. I walk up infront of everyone, clearing my throat to get everyone's attention. “Sorry to disappoint you cheerleaders, but Ethan couldn't make it so let's get to work to get it over with, shall we?” I say with authority laced in my voice. “Today we are working in our wolf forms so shift and follow my lead. Have your mindlink open incase I try to contact y’all.” I command shifting into my wolf. It has…
