Religious Violence and Radical Islam
Today, we live in a world where violence plagues our society. I believe it is crucial to discuss the concept of violence. Why does it occur? Why does it seem to be consuming not only those living in America, but the entire World population? Our daily news headlines are stormed with stories about new acts of violence every day. Many times these headlines are developed due to an act of violence that was committed by a religious group. This paper will focus on the impulse of violence within religion. The thesis for this paper is that in any religion in which radical groups exist there is potential for violence to occur. According to the Pew Research Center, Islam is the World’s second largest religion and the fastest growing (The Future of World Religion, 2015). In light of this fact, this research paper will focus on the radical groups that exist within the Islamic religion. The major emphasis of this paper will be to determine if the violence that occurs is a reflection of ideological foundations in the religion or is it more greatly influenced by culture and other precipitating factors.
First, I will examine some of the violent acts carried out by religious groups throughout history. I will look at the factors that influenced such acts to be carried out by these groups of people using information from “Religion, Terror and Violence: Religious Studies Perspectives”, by Rennie and Tite (2008). History reveals many acts of violence occurring among religious group. In particular were the battles that occurred during Holy wars. For example, the Crusades were a series of battles that occurred between 1096-1291 for control of the Holy land. I will use examples and information from Selengut’s “Sacred Fury: understanding religious violence”, to determine whether violent acts, such as the Holy wars, were only influence by opposing religious beliefs or were they a product of other factors such as political and cultural influence? I will also implement material from Kressel’s “Bad faith: the danger of religious extremist”, which explains extremist among many religions, in further support of my thesis statement.
Second, I will narrow my focus on violence to that which is occurring in the Islamic religion. I would like to express again that I am not focusing on Islam because I believe it is a violent religion. I am focusing on this religion in particular because of its fast growing population and attention it has recently been receiving in our society. As stated in my thesis, I am attempting to prove that violence can exist in any religion in which there are radical groups of people. I will use information from Esposito’s book, “What everyone needs to know about Islam”, to explain a few of the foundational ideologies that exist in Islam. Next, I will focus on the radical groups that exist among the Islamic religion. ...

This document provides an introduction to the journal Letter & Spirit. It summarizes the contributors to the issue and their areas of expertise. The introduction explains that the term "hermeneutic of continuity" originated from discussions at a 1985 Synod of Bishops regarding the interpretation of Vatican II, where bishops affirmed that the Council stands in continuity with previous Church tradition and teachings, rather than marking a sharp break. It provides background on the term before introducing the various articles in the issue on topics related to scripture, theology, and tradition.

INT-460 Worldviews in Western Civlization
Critical social theory has emerged as the newest worldview developing in the West. It builds upon postmodernism and seeks to expose and dismantle oppressive power structures in society through analyzing language, culture, and institutions from the perspectives of marginalized groups. Critical theorists draw from Marxism, psychoanalysis, and other fields to critique prevailing assumptions and promote social justice for the oppressed. Examples of critical theory in current issues include indigenous people's day, debates over children's literature, and the removal of controversial monuments.

INT-525 topic 3
The document discusses models of cultural and religious transformation. It describes culture as layers like a river, with worldviews forming the deepest layer. Models of identity transformation include Erikson's stages of identity and Marcia's identity statuses. Models of religious conversion include Rambo's stages of conversion. When the gospel transforms a society, it can create new cultural artifacts and change deeper layers like values, beliefs, and worldviews over time according to the model of culture making. Transformation involves changes to individual and collective identity.

Meditations on the First Philosophy (1641)
Meditation II� Of the Nature of the Human Mind; and that it is more easily known than the Body.
The Meditation of yesterday filled my mind with so many doubts that it is no longer in my power to forget
them.� And yet I do not see in what manner I can resolve them; and, just as if I had all of a sudden fallen
into very deep water, I am so disconcerted that I can neither make certain of setting my feet on the
bottom, nor can I swim and so support myself on the surface.� I shall nevertheless make an effort and
follow anew the same path as that on which I yesterday entered, i.e. I shall proceed by setting aside all
that in which the least doubt could be supposed to exist, just as if I had discovered that it was absolutely
false; and I shall ever follow in this road until I have met with something which is certain, or at least, if I
can do nothing else, until I have learned for certain that there is nothing in the world that is certain.�
Archimedes, in order that he might draw the terrestrial globe out of its place, and transport it elsewhere,
demanded only that one point should be fixed and immoveable; in the same way I shall have the right to
conceive high hopes if I am happy enough to discover one thing only which is certain and indubitable.
�I suppose, then, that all the things that I see are false; I persuade myself that nothing has ever existed
of all that my fallacious memory represents to me.� I consider that I possess no senses; I imagine that
body, figure, extension, movement and place are but the fictions of my mind.� What, then, can be
esteemed as true?� Perhaps nothing at all, unless that there is nothing in the world that is certain.
�But how can I know there is not something different from those things that I have just considered, of
which one cannot have the slightest doubt?� Is there not some God, or some other being by whatever
name we call it, who puts these reflections into my mind? That is not necessary, for is it not possible that I
am capable of producing them myself?� I myself, am I not at least something?� But I have already
denied that I had senses and body.� Yet I hesitate, for what follows from that?� Am I so dependent on
body and senses that I cannot exist without these?� But I was persuaded that there was nothing in all the
world, that there was no heaven, no earth, that there were no minds, nor any bodies:� was I not then
likewise persuaded that I did not exist? Not at all; of a surety I myself did exist since I persuaded myself of
something [or merely because I thought of something].� But there is some deceiver or other, very
powerful and very cunning, who ever employs his ingenuity in deceiving me.� Then without doubt I exist
also if he deceives me, and let him deceive me as much a.

Removal of cash payments at LOCLBus Ltd.
Overview
LOCLBus Ltd are a bus operator in the East of England, in the UK. With a fleet size of 60 vehicles, ranging from large minibuses to 60 seater vehicles, they are a well known independent operator in the region, second only to the main contractor, First Group who operate the main local authority contracts in the region.
In response to demand from customers and the local authorities who contract LOCLBus to operate key services on their behalf, the management team have decided at a recent board meeting to stop accepting cash payments on all services where customers pay the driver (so not, for instance on school services) and replace cash with card payments and, they hope an App for mobile devices. The board realise this is a huge change for them, as since their inauguration in 1972, the only way they have accepted payment is via cash and it totals £2.7m per year, around 40% of their revenue (the rest being from local authority payments and other commercial contracts).
You have been recruited, due to your experience in commercial vehicles, to project manage this process, from fact finding to roll out of the
first phase
(card payments on vehicles) to the
full roll out
which will cover Contactless card, Apple Pay and Android payments and their App which will allow customers to buy virtual tickets in advance. The current status is that the project has been discussed, and you have some guidance documents from the board, but nothing has been started yet. You are expected to plan the complete process, and write a discussion report which will go to the board in the form of a 2500 written report and supporting documents outlining the key steps in the project.
On your first day in the office, you bring your trusted guide books;
Project Management by Harvey Maylor
and the
PMBOK Guide from the Project Management Institute
. You will be referencing these as best practice and anything else you think is suitable in terms of sources.
You admit to feeling a little overwhelmed by the new job, but with the tools and techniques you have learnt and guidance from best practice, you think ‘if they sent man to the moon’ you can do anything...
Further information and tips to help you complete and create your project plan:
LOCLBus plan to buy the equipment, that includes card reader, control system and web based storage and part of the project which will be to source a suitable supplier who will partly define the roll out based on their timelines and experience.
A supplier who is of interest to LOCLBus is detailed in Appendix 1
LOCLBus require their own custom mobile app to be developed, this will be branded with the company image and provide fee-free transfer (to the customer) via the different payment methods. They require a plan to be defined, to understand timings and cost for the mobile app development.
A quote has been included in Appendix 2 to help you.
A Risk register will need to be produced .

19.4. RICHMOND PLANET AND WISCONSIN WEEKLY ADVOCATE, EXCERPTS FROM LETTERS FROM AFRICAN AMERICAN SOLDIERS IN THE PHILIPPINES (1899–1900)
Black soldiers serving in the Philippines to put down the insurgency against the United States sent letters to African American newspapers relating their experiences on the islands. Some disheartened soldiers found that the color line extended far beyond the boundaries of the United States, while others saw action in the Philippines as a chance to prove their patriotism and their equality. The first and third letters below were published in the Richmond Planet on December 30, 1899, and December 22, 1900, respectively. The second letter was published in the Milwaukee newspaper Wis- consin Weekly Advocate on May 17, 1900.
Dear Mr. Editor: We received copies of the Planet sent to us at this point. You can imagine how much we appreciated them when we had not seen a paper of any kind for weeks, and as for an Afro-American paper, I can not remember when I last laid eyes on one. . . .
The whites have begun to establish their diaboli- cal race hatred in all its home rancor in Manila, even endeavo.

Meditations on the First Philosophy (1641)
Meditation II� Of the Nature of the Human Mind; and that it is more easily known than the Body.
The Meditation of yesterday filled my mind with so many doubts that it is no longer in my power to forget
them.� And yet I do not see in what manner I can resolve them; and, just as if I had all of a sudden fallen
into very deep water, I am so disconcerted that I can neither make certain of setting my feet on the
bottom, nor can I swim and so support myself on the surface.� I shall nevertheless make an effort and
follow anew the same path as that on which I yesterday entered, i.e. I shall proceed by setting aside all
that in which the least doubt could be supposed to exist, just as if I had discovered that it was absolutely
false; and I shall ever follow in this road until I have met with something which is certain, or at least, if I
can do nothing else, until I have learned for certain that there is nothing in the world that is certain.�
Archimedes, in order that he might draw the terrestrial globe out of its place, and transport it elsewhere,
demanded only that one point should be fixed and immoveable; in the same way I shall have the right to
conceive high hopes if I am happy enough to discover one thing only which is certain and indubitable.
�I suppose, then, that all the things that I see are false; I persuade myself that nothing has ever existed
of all that my fallacious memory represents to me.� I consider that I possess no senses; I imagine that
body, figure, extension, movement and place are but the fictions of my mind.� What, then, can be
esteemed as true?� Perhaps nothing at all, unless that there is nothing in the world that is certain.
�But how can I know there is not something different from those things that I have just considered, of
which one cannot have the slightest doubt?� Is there not some God, or some other being by whatever
name we call it, who puts these reflections into my mind? That is not necessary, for is it not possible that I
am capable of producing them myself?� I myself, am I not at least something?� But I have already
denied that I had senses and body.� Yet I hesitate, for what follows from that?� Am I so dependent on
body and senses that I cannot exist without these?� But I was persuaded that there was nothing in all the
world, that there was no heaven, no earth, that there were no minds, nor any bodies:� was I not then
likewise persuaded that I did not exist? Not at all; of a surety I myself did exist since I persuaded myself of
something [or merely because I thought of something].� But there is some deceiver or other, very
powerful and very cunning, who ever employs his ingenuity in deceiving me.� Then without doubt I exist
also if he deceives me, and let him deceive me as much a.

Removal of cash payments at LOCLBus Ltd.OverviewLOCLBus Ltd .docx
Removal of cash payments at LOCLBus Ltd.
Overview
LOCLBus Ltd are a bus operator in the East of England, in the UK. With a fleet size of 60 vehicles, ranging from large minibuses to 60 seater vehicles, they are a well known independent operator in the region, second only to the main contractor, First Group who operate the main local authority contracts in the region.
In response to demand from customers and the local authorities who contract LOCLBus to operate key services on their behalf, the management team have decided at a recent board meeting to stop accepting cash payments on all services where customers pay the driver (so not, for instance on school services) and replace cash with card payments and, they hope an App for mobile devices. The board realise this is a huge change for them, as since their inauguration in 1972, the only way they have accepted payment is via cash and it totals £2.7m per year, around 40% of their revenue (the rest being from local authority payments and other commercial contracts).
You have been recruited, due to your experience in commercial vehicles, to project manage this process, from fact finding to roll out of the
first phase
(card payments on vehicles) to the
full roll out
which will cover Contactless card, Apple Pay and Android payments and their App which will allow customers to buy virtual tickets in advance. The current status is that the project has been discussed, and you have some guidance documents from the board, but nothing has been started yet. You are expected to plan the complete process, and write a discussion report which will go to the board in the form of a 2500 written report and supporting documents outlining the key steps in the project.
On your first day in the office, you bring your trusted guide books;
Project Management by Harvey Maylor
and the
PMBOK Guide from the Project Management Institute
. You will be referencing these as best practice and anything else you think is suitable in terms of sources.
You admit to feeling a little overwhelmed by the new job, but with the tools and techniques you have learnt and guidance from best practice, you think ‘if they sent man to the moon’ you can do anything...
Further information and tips to help you complete and create your project plan:
LOCLBus plan to buy the equipment, that includes card reader, control system and web based storage and part of the project which will be to source a suitable supplier who will partly define the roll out based on their timelines and experience.
A supplier who is of interest to LOCLBus is detailed in Appendix 1
LOCLBus require their own custom mobile app to be developed, this will be branded with the company image and provide fee-free transfer (to the customer) via the different payment methods. They require a plan to be defined, to understand timings and cost for the mobile app development.
A quote has been included in Appendix 2 to help you.
A Risk register will need to be produced .

19.4. RICHMOND PLANET AND WISCONSIN WEEKLY ADVOCATE, EXCERPTS FROM LETTERS FROM AFRICAN AMERICAN SOLDIERS IN THE PHILIPPINES (1899–1900)
Black soldiers serving in the Philippines to put down the insurgency against the United States sent letters to African American newspapers relating their experiences on the islands. Some disheartened soldiers found that the color line extended far beyond the boundaries of the United States, while others saw action in the Philippines as a chance to prove their patriotism and their equality. The first and third letters below were published in the Richmond Planet on December 30, 1899, and December 22, 1900, respectively. The second letter was published in the Milwaukee newspaper Wis- consin Weekly Advocate on May 17, 1900.
Dear Mr. Editor: We received copies of the Planet sent to us at this point. You can imagine how much we appreciated them when we had not seen a paper of any kind for weeks, and as for an Afro-American paper, I can not remember when I last laid eyes on one. . . .
The whites have begun to establish their diaboli- cal race hatred in all its home rancor in Manila, even endeavo.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
