Kennon public archaeology project
The document summarizes archaeological investigations of Ritidian Latte Village and cave paintings on Guam. Ritidian Village was occupied 3,300 years ago and during the Latte Period from 800-1521 AD. Archaeologists like Dr. Carson and Dr. Iping have studied the latte stone structures, food remains, and artifacts to understand settlement patterns and cultural practices. They also theorize that the cave paintings located in nearby Starcave may have been used for navigation. However, the archaeological sites are currently unprotected and at risk of damage without improved signage, fencing, and community involvement in preservation.
ANTY 451 Presentation
The document summarizes three case studies of cultural resource management projects that uncovered human remains: 1) the Foley Square federal building in New York City where remains of colonial era slaves were discovered, 2) widening of Route 4 through the Crow Creek Reservation in South Dakota where Native American remains were found, and 3) the First African Baptist Church Cemetery in Philadelphia where two historic African American cemeteries were uncovered. The case studies highlight both positive and negative examples of consulting with culturally affiliated groups as required by law, with the Philadelphia project involving the most community engagement and the South Dakota project exhibiting poor practice. Consultation is important for completing knowledge of sites, respecting remains and descendants, and respecting communities impacted.

Marks of a christian community
The document discusses the marks of an ideal Christian community based on examples from the early church in Acts. It describes how the early church was a learning community, with people gathering to hear Jesus' teachings. It was also a praying community, dedicating itself to prayer. Additionally, it was an eating community, with people breaking bread together. Finally, it was a sharing community, characterized by koinonia or mutual sharing among believers. The document poses questions about how modern communities can emulate these same principles through learning, praying, eating and sharing together.

Religon
The Second Great Awakening was a period in the early 19th century where religion spread widely to the American frontier through large camp meetings. It converted many people to new religions and brought about greater diversity of denominations. Church attendance remained high, with around three-fourths of Americans attending services in the 1850s. The Second Great Awakening had a much larger impact than the First Great Awakening a century earlier, sweeping up even more people. Religion played a major role in American identity and culture during this time period.

The document outlines some important tips for building effective teams like understanding each member's skills, promoting creativity over conflicts, and openly discussing team strategies and norms.

Samsung Vs. Apple -- The Patent Fight
Apple sued Samsung in 2011 alleging that several Samsung Android phones and tablets infringed on Apple's patents, trademarks, user interface and style. Samsung counter-sued Apple, filing lawsuits in Korea, Japan, and Germany alleging that Apple infringed on Samsung's mobile communication technologies patents. The court awarded small damages to both companies and ordered a temporary sales halt of the infringing products in South Korea, denying Apple's claims that Samsung copied the iPhone and iPad designs.
Case study on the avengers
The Avengers was produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios. It brought together superhero characters from previous Marvel films into one team to fight a common enemy. The film was based on the popular Avengers comics and aimed to unite these well-known superheroes on the big screen. Joss Whedon wrote and directed the film, drawing from his experience writing for the Marvel universe as well as genres like science fiction.
Scotland
The national flower of Scotland is the thistle. Scotland shares borders with England to the south and is otherwise bounded by seas. Its landscape varies from lowlands to mountainous highlands and over 790 islands. Scotland has experienced many political changes over thousands of years including being united with England in 1707. The country industrialized rapidly during the Industrial Revolution, driven by Scottish inventors and engineers, though this led to problems as well. Today Scotland maintains its own distinct culture and identity while being part of the United Kingdom.

University of California, Santa Barbara. This paper was
his presidential address to the Pacific Coast Branch of the
American Historical Association at its annual meeting
in August 1991 at Kona on the island of Hawaii.
I stand here before you to deliver the 1991 presiden-
tial address on the occasion of the eighty-fourth annual meet-

Branch. I do hope you all realize what a heartwrenching task
this is for me. I am an historian of medieval Europe. Only a
small handful of you are medievalists -and I brought almost
all of you here myself--to applaud me after my talk.
There is something deeply incongruous about an histo-
rian of medieval Europe presiding at a meeting on the Big
Island of Hawaii--but it is thoroughly enjoyable--not to men-
tion salubrious. Yet it is also, as I said, daunting. We have all
had a splendid banquet, with an abundance of excellent wine.
I do not want to put you to sleep with a boring, highly spe-
cialized address. And yet if my talk is too fluffy it will not
stand up well when published in our splendid journal, the
Pacific Historical Review. Worse yet, Norris Hundley might turn

Humanities chinese writing
Writing first developed in ancient China as early as the Shang Dynasty in the form of oracle bone inscriptions used for divination around 1200 BC. Over time, Chinese writing evolved from mostly pictographs to a logographic script using thousands of characters to write Chinese words. The development of writing helped advance ancient Chinese civilization by allowing the sharing of ideas, histories, laws, and other important information across its vast empire. Today we have gained a greater understanding of ancient Chinese culture and history by studying artifacts like oracle bones, bronze vessels, and silk manuscripts that have survived from that period.

A375 Example Taste the taste of the Lord, the taste of the Lord The taste of...
It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

- -Taoists believe that yin is feminine and yang is masculine - God, life, goodness, justice, righteousness, light, peace, heat, happiness, beauty, heaven, risings . . . the active, that which is on the surface, is Yang. - Satan, death, evil, injustice, unrighteousness, darkness, war, cold, sadness, ugliness, earth, sinkings . . . the passive, that which is deep or hidden, is Yin. -Taoists belive in balancing yin and yang -Yin and yang is the balance and harmony of both, with each energy flowing through balanced. -Yin and yang Is carried out in our life today by taichi, taichi is all about energy flowing through your body in harmony, just like yin and yang
- -Tao-te Ching: In English means the classic way of power, the oldest texts they found are from 200 BCE.

Each festival celebrates a certain kind of food. Even though Taoists diets usually consist of whole grains, vegetables, fruit, seeds, tofu and herbs on these festivals they like to eat wine and meat. They also include many herbs in their diet to get more positive energy in their body. -Taoists believe that music brings them closer to gods and closer to their inner self. They usually play music at celebrations like birthdays and festivals.
