John Adams Biography

Group pressure forced Langston into doing something that was totally against his good judgment. When Langston's friend Westley went send the pressure increased twofold. Not only was he exposed to the persuasion of the church, but he realized that if Westley did it, it might be admissible. A similar situation might be Adam and Eve in the organery of Eden.

When Adam saw that Eve had taken of the fruit and was unharmed, he too ate of the tree of knowledge. Westley for real hadn't been struck dead, so why not give in to save supplementary trouble? If he didn't get saved every person would turn against him. In a sense the congregation became his God because they pushed him into going to the platform.

The author gains the respect of the reader by telling the story from his point of view and in his own voice. He tells the story truthfully as accurately as he can remember it.

The very vivid descriptions of the church, the preacher, and his aunt, help keep the momentum of the story rolling. Langston provides the main character an audience and the reader a bit of human excitement. He recreates the true drama of facing an opposing force without any face help.

Although Langston Hughes believed in the reality of Jesus, he was deceivingly forced into doing something wholly against his will. He fooled every person by manufacture an insincere decision. His emotions and feelings come out in the end of the story. Langston could hear himself mental while the ordeal and he knew that he was alone. His final decision was based on what was sufficient for the congregation, not himself.

"Salvation" is an awesome portrayal of what true salvation is all about. It is a heart decision, not just walking down an aisle. It was Keith Green, the Gospel Artist, who once said: "Going to church doesn't make you a Christian, anymore than going to McDonald's makes you a hamburger." Endquote!

It is my sincere desire that those who don't know the Lord who read "Salvation" may understand what it for real says in I John 1:9: If we confess with our mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in our heart that God raised him from the dead, we shall be saved."

Notice, confession is from confidence in the heart, not out of peer pressure or submission to what every person else wants you to do. I sincerely believe "Salvation" by Langston Hughes makes those who have merely walked down an aisle, not because they wanted to find Jesus, think twice.

When one truly finds Christ, it'll be from the heart, not from whatever else.

John Adams: The American Presidents Series: The 2nd President, 1797-1801 Overview

A revealing look at the true beginning of American politics

Until recently rescued by David McCullough, John Adams has always been overshadowed by Washington and Jefferson. Volatile, impulsive, irritable, and self-pitying, Adams seemed temperamentally unsuited for the presidency. Yet in many ways he was the perfect successor to Washington in terms of ability, experience, and popularity.

Possessed of a far-ranging intelligence, Adams took office amid the birth of the government and multiple crises. Besides maintaining neutrality and regaining peace, his administration created the Department of the Navy, put the army on a surer footing, and left a solvent treasury. One of his shrewdest acts was surely the appointment of moderate Federalist John Marshall as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

Though he was a Federalist, he sought to work outside the still-forming party system. In the end, this would be Adams’s greatest failing and most useful lesson to later leaders.

John Hume

John Hume has recently been voted the "Greatest Irishman Ever" in an Rte Television poll. He has come from a situation of poverty in Derry to become an Mp, an Mep and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize.

He was born in 1937 and sat the 11 plus test the first year that it was introduced. This enabled him to attend St. Columbs College in Derry and he also got a University scholarship. He studied for the priesthood at Maynooth for a time but gave it up and returned to Derry. At the time Catholics found it very hard to get housing in Derry and the City Council and the Planning Office were controlled by a Unionist majority so it looked like the situation was never going to change.

John Adams Biography

He was initially reluctant to enter politics but when he saw the Civil proprietary Movement going on simultaneously in the United States he grew to admire Martin Luther King. Hume realised that the best way transmit was through consensus, by entertaining both sides, Nationalists and Unionists to create a best solution. His home was attacked and he was not always beloved because habitancy did not want to see him engage with the theory to try and enhance the lives of habitancy nearby him.

John Hume

At the heart of John Hume's religious doctrine was the belief that the Northern question was an economic one and after receiving a telegram from Senator Edward (Ted) Kennedy he managed to make taste with a whole of high profile Irish Americans such as Tip O Neill (the Speaker of the House) and Bruce Morrisson. When Margaret Thatcher signed the Anglo Irish deal it was clear that she did not want to but she allegedly said "the Americans made me do it". Once that deal was signed in 1985 it meant that Ireland (North and South) was viewed more favourably by Europe and America. This led to the creation of the International Fund for Ireland which created weighty opportunities for the Irish economy and provided thousands of jobs.

John Hume also believed that "the answer to unlikeness is to respect it". He got complicated in peaceful protest and started incommunicable talks with Gerry Adams, the leader of Sinn Fein, even though public plan was very much against this. When word of the talks leaked out there were 2 major atrocities within 7 days, Frizells Fish Shop on the Shankhill Road, Belfast and the Greysteel killings. This marked a low point in the Troubles and 6 weeks later Albert Reynolds and John Major signed the Downing road Declaration.

John Hume believed in a consensus arrival and he had a vision that the final explication would consist of a three party association 1) between Unionists & Nationalists 2) between Britain and Ireland 3) between North and South. All of that had to be worked out and it took in excess of 30 years. John Hume gave his life to the cause of working for peace in Northern Ireland.

Mr. Adams's Last Crusade: John Quincy Adams's Extraordinary Post-Presidential Life in Congress Overview

When John Quincy Adams—the sixty-three-year-old former president, U.S. senator, secretary of state, and diplomat—was elected to the House of Representatives by his Massachusetts neighbors, he embarked on a spectacular late-life career.

He became Congress’s most acerbic and influential critic of slavery as well as a tireless proponent for human freedoms and First Amendment rights. This remarkable congressional career utterly transformed him, the public’s perception of him, and his legacy—in many ways redeeming his failed presidency. Mr. Adams’s Last Crusade renders an insightful portrait of a man who placed his country above politics.

Adams has also received critical acclaim for his creative programming, founding the "In Your Ear" festival at Carnegie Hall, curating festivals and concerts for such prominent musical institutions as the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Cabrillo Festival, and the BBC Proms concerts, and the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra. In 2003 Adams was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in Music for his piece "On the Transmigration of Souls," which commemorated the first anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York. He has been widely honored by leading arts institutions, receiving the Harvard Arts Medal, honorary doctorates by the University of Cambridge and Northwestern University, and more recently, the National Endowment for the Arts Opera Honors Award.

The Accuracy of Eye survey Testimony and Its Flaws

As citizens of the United States of America, we believe the U.S. Is a very flourishing country compared to the rest of the world. For the most part, we also trust and respect our complicated justice system. If a conjecture is proven guilty by the court of law and claims he or she is innocent, we normally have more faith in the court's decision rather than what the conjecture is trying to say. After all, we do want as many criminals as inherent behind bars, right? If the crime committed was very disturbing such as murdering a child we come to be very furious and we want to make sure that someone pays for that. Once the court rules a guilty verdict against a conjecture in such a horrible case, we feel safe for an additional one day in our comfortable homes. All thanks to our excellent judicial law an additional one criminal is behind bars.

The U.S. Courts do often help safe the rest of society by locking up dangerous people. Unfortunately the law is far from excellent and innocent people receive guilty verdicts. These innocent people are torn away from their families, careers, free life and faced with humiliation. They often face many years or life behind bars and even the death penalty. Such a harsh punishment for the someone who did not commit the crime. It is scary to think that anyone of us can fall in to this loop-hole in our judicial law where we can face time in prison even though we are innocent.

John Adams Biography

How could this happen, how can the court misjudge such life impacting cases and come up with the wrong verdict? Researchers had done many investigations on wrongful arrests, they found that the large majority of arrests were mistaken because eyewitnesses have pointed out the wrong people. Having as many criminals as inherent behind bars in today's law comes with a price, the price of innocent people going to jail too. The emotional victims want someone to pay for the crime, as long as someone gets punished they will feel better. The victim will go home and feel safer, sometimes not realizing that an innocent someone is paying a price so the victim can feel cozy.

Mr. Adams's Last Crusade: John Quincy Adams's Extraordinary Post-Presidential Life in Congress Overview

When John Quincy Adams—the sixty-three-year-old former president, U.S. senator, secretary of state, and diplomat—was elected to the House of Representatives by his Massachusetts neighbors, he embarked on a spectacular late-life career.

He became Congress’s most acerbic and influential critic of slavery as well as a tireless proponent for human freedoms and First Amendment rights. This remarkable congressional career utterly transformed him, the public’s perception of him, and his legacy—in many ways redeeming his failed presidency. Mr. Adams’s Last Crusade renders an insightful portrait of a man who placed his country above politics.

Many experiments terminate that jurors and law professionals rely a lot on eyewitnesses to come up with a guilty or not guilty verdict. Gary Wells (1998) researched forty extra cases. In all forty cases Dna proved that all forty convicted suspects were innocent. In thirty-six of these cases eyewitnesses wrongfully accused the suspects. This is a major flaw with eye scrutinize testimony. This is a crime in itself! First of all we are talking about forty people being wrongfully accused. More than three quarters of them are accused thanks to their "perfect memory" witnesses. This alone proves that eye scrutinize testimonies should not be given as much prestige as they are in today's justice system.

A real life example of the eye scrutinize testimony flaw is the Harris and Adams case. A police officer pulled over a vehicle at night to let the driver know that his headlights were turned off. The driver pulled out a gun and killed the officer. conjecture Harris was found a month later denying that he shot the officer. Harris claimed he picked up a hitch-hiker who was driving the car and the hitch-hiker shot the officer. The second conjecture Adams who was the hitch-hiker claimed he was innocent but three witnesses claimed they saw him shoot the officer because Adams had a mustache and long hair which fit in to their description. Although Harris confessed that he stole the car and the loaded handgun, Adams was expensed for the murder because three witnesses claimed they saw a description of Adams shooting the officer. Years later, the freed Harris was expensed for a different murder and confessed on death row that he also shot the police officer twelve years earlier. Adams was finally released after an innocent twelve year sentence. Three witnesses pointed the finger at the wrong person.

How can three different witnesses point at the wrong person? Human memory is not like video or photo camera that can bring up a clear picture later in time. Our memories are often distorted by our schemas and other factors. If we are missing a piece of the picture when trying to remember something, our mind will replace it with something else. In this situation we will have a skewed memory. It was dark surface when the officer pulled the car over, therefore we can only see parts of the situation. Our mind can fill in those dark spots with other schemas when we try to remember the situation at a time to come time. The other qoute can be the biased questions that police officers and investigators ask the eyewitnesses. For example if the officer has seen the conjecture in custody, the officer's questions to the scrutinize may be biased by the suspect's true description. Unknowingly, the officer might even make hints as to whether the scrutinize is on the right track for describing a similar description of the suspect.

Another study was done by Patricia Tollestrup, John Turtle, and John Yille. The study focused on how we acquisition or pay attentiveness to a unavoidable scene, how we store that facts and how we retrieve it later from our memory. They studied cases where the conjecture confessed to the crime. These cases had eyewitness bystanders and eyewitness victims. The bystanders proved to have a more precise memory of the crime scene than the victims involved. 100% of the bystanders remembered if the conjecture had facial hair, only 60% of the crime victims remembered this correctly. Only 48% of the bystanders and 38% of the victims complicated remembered the hair color of the suspect. The worse part is that both the bystanders and the victim eyewitnesses chose the right criminal 48% of the time in a lineup. This study shows that eyewitness testimony is very weak. It also shows that if the eyewitness was the victim of the crime, chances are their testimony is even weaker because of many factors that bias their memory. an additional one major conjecture why eye scrutinize testimony should not take as much weight as it does today.

Jurors in a court case often don't realize the imperfections of eye scrutinize testimony. They don't realize how imperfect our memories can be. If the jurors hear a great deal of unavoidable information about the crime from the witness, the jurors can undoubtedly be convinced by such a testimony. In an unusual event such as a short crime scene, a scrutinize only collects pieces of the scene and later tries to put it altogether in to a story. an additional one friction we have with memory is cross-racial identification. We have more mystery identifying someone of an additional one race other than ours. For example a black scrutinize might have a harder time identifying a white conjecture because blacks find it easier to differentiate between blacks. A black scrutinize will have a harder time differentiating between whites the same as whites will have a tough time differentiating between Asians or Hispanics.

Another flaw that sometimes if not often puts innocent people in jail is the unavoidable testimony of a victim that was seriously hurt or violated (Loftus). When this victim says with reliance "this is the guy that did it, I will never forget that face..." it is hard not to discredit their feelings and the fact that they lived through that horrible crime. Therefore it becomes easy to go with their testimony. A huge qoute that Elizabeth Loftus talks about is the fact that judges will often not allow an scholar to testify to the jury about the flaws of eyewitness testimony. Some judges will allow it, but others will make excuses as to why this scholar testimony is not allowed. This leaves the jury uneducated about eyewitness flaws which potentially leads to a wrongful verdict.

When added researching the subject, I was amazed at some of the statistics I read about the inaccuracy of eye scrutinize testimony. This is even if the crime occurred in broad daylight and there were many witnesses. I was also amazed at how much the courts rely on witnesses. Elizabeth Loftus went on to interpret that when a judge decides not educate the jury of memory inconsistency of eyewitnesses, the jury for the most part decides the verdict from their "gut feeling". They ignore the balance that needs to be gift between physical scientific evidence and scrutinize testimony. The jurors without the simple instruction rely too heavily on the witness. This leads the jurors to make the wrong decision and perhaps convict the wrong person. an additional one great point that was made by Loftus is the repetition of looking the accused person. When the victim spends time looking the someone in photos, in lineups, in the courtroom, the conjecture even if truly innocent becomes encrypted more and more in the victims memory. This makes it inherent that if the victim saw the true criminal he or she probably wont recognize the criminal anymore especially if the victim saw the criminal once for a short time during the crime.

Our capability to remember accurately is not as dependable as we think it is. We are often unaware that our memories convert which causes us to convert the story from what undoubtedly happened. We often forget the significance of the factors that can skew our memory and perception. Unfortunately we think factors such as reliance and details are more leading and dependable when in fact these factors cause errors in decision making. When a case is made, the court law and the police should not rely so heavily on eye scrutinize testimony, they need to continue to find more evidence in a case even if there are witnesses who sound like they have a good story.

Read some true stories that related to flawed eye scrutinize testimonies and you will see how damaging it can be!

The Image of a Man Versus the Real man

There has been only one exquisite hero in all of time and eternity. That was of procedure Jesus Christ - the son of God. In Jesus - the Man and the image of the man were exactly the same person. It is all the time right to consequent the example of Jesus. He merits hero worship. He is a hero.

For every other hero recorded throughout history, there is a less than exquisite side. Some hero's have a best article than others for things done exterior the limelight. A few were truly close to being the someone the collective perceived them to be. An example of a man who was good by human standards was George Washington. No matter how hard the skeptics may dig straight through history, they don't seem to be able to find any dirt on him.

John Adams Biography

That's good. someone known as the father of any country should have a squeaky clean image. But, regularly the hero's life shows some character flaws that should not be copied. The Bible is full of hero's and heroines, but in almost every case, some misconduct is included in their biographies.

Adams vs. Jefferson: The Tumultuous Election of 1800 (Pivotal Moments in American History (Oxford)) Overview

It was a contest of titans: John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, two heroes of the Revolutionary era, once intimate friends, now icy antagonists locked in a fierce battle for the future of the United States. The election of 1800 was a thunderous clash of a campaign that climaxed in a deadlock in the Electoral College and led to a crisis in which the young republic teetered on the edge of collapse.
Adams vs. Jefferson is the gripping account of a turning point in American history, a dramatic struggle between two parties with profoundly different visions of how the nation should be governed. The Federalists, led by Adams, were conservatives who favored a strong central government. The Republicans, led by Jefferson, were more egalitarian and believed that the Federalists had betrayed the Revolution of 1776 and were backsliding toward monarchy. The campaign itself was a barroom brawl every bit as ruthless as any modern contest, with mud-slinging, scare tactics, and backstabbing. The low point came when Alexander Hamilton printed a devastating attack on Adams, the head of his own party, in "fifty-four pages of unremitting vilification." The stalemate in the Electoral College dragged on through dozens of ballots. Tensions ran so high that the Republicans threatened civil war if the Federalists denied Jefferson the presidency. Finally a secret deal that changed a single vote gave Jefferson the White House. A devastated Adams left Washington before dawn on Inauguration Day, too embittered even to shake his rival's hand.
With magisterial command, Ferling brings to life both the outsize personalities and the hotly contested political questions at stake. He shows not just why this moment was a milestone in U.S. history, but how strongly the issues--and the passions--of 1800 resonate with our own time.

Abraham - patriarch of the Jews - had a son exterior of his marriage. Moses - leader of the population and writer of the first 5 books of the Old Testament - had a terrible temper. King David - a man after God's own heart - committed adultery and then murder in an exertion to hide his sin. I think God recorded these things to help us remember that those in authority or collective position are still just human beings born with the sin nature like every person else. They are going to mess up sometimes. It also shows that God forgives every repentant sinner - no matter what their center in life may be.

Today, like never before, celebrities of all sorts are understanding of as more than mortal. The lives of these celebrities are very public. It seems the details of their private lives are forced on all the public, either the collective is concerned or not. You cannot get straight through a check out line in the grocery store without being bombarded with magazines and tabloids that characterize the details of celebrities' lives. Headlines are 45% celebrity headlines' 45% weight loss plans; and the remaining 10% covers the rest of what is going on in the world. When Princess Diana died, her death was mourned globally as though she were the sister of every person alive. Of procedure I was sympathetic. But I never met the woman. I was very sorry for her house and the population who knew her. At that time, my sister had just died; so I knew first hand what her loved ones and friends were going through. But what I saw nearby me was Not Normal. How could population who never met her grieve as though they had just lost a popular house member? I believe it was at least in part because she projected the image of being everything to everyone. She was anywhere you looked smiling from some magazine cover. She was what ever your fantasy might be. Some population may have pretended they were nothing else but the princess. Others may have seen themselves as her good friend. To others she was the ideal woman - or what every man wants in a woman. She was anything their minds wanted her to be.

In real life she was just a mortal human being. She went straight through a terrible marriage. According to some reports, she suffered from personality disorders. Amidst all the glamour and publicity, there were some very sad aspects to her life. But her image was that of perfection and one living in constant delight. Maybe the collective just saw what they wanted to see. Perhaps they were delusional. population are created with a heart that wants to worship the exquisite God of creation. He alone is worthy of honor and worship. population who reject God will at last find someone or something else to adore and worship.

2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 says:

10. And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

11. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

12. That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had satisfaction in unrighteousness.

Celebrity obsession has created a delusional public. They love the image of a man or woman as though that is the real person. They have no understanding that the Image of a celebrity is Not the real person. An example is John Wayne. His image was that of the great American hero. He was larger than life. In truth, he was never in the military at all. He had a legal exemption during Wwii because of his family. Celebrity obsession may be so fascinating to fallen man because it requires nothing of them except blind loyalty. No sins must be confessed, and no changes to the inner someone are required.

There is a great danger for those complicated in hero worship. They are filling a need to worship God by giving undeserved concentration and devotion to a mortal. They have rejected God, His truth, and His righteousness. Their souls are in danger of eternal separation from God in a place called Hell.

Revelation has numerous passages referring to the image of the beast. It is puzzling to understand exactly what the image of the beast may be. The book of Daniel offers some help. First - the great king Nebuchadnezzar had a dream in which he saw an image of a man. This dream foretold of four kingdoms that would exist. His kingdom was the first. Median/Persian was next. Greek was third. And Roman was fourth. The king saw each as part of a human form made of gold, silver, bronze, iron, and then iron mixed with clay. He saw these kingdoms as great achievements of man.

But then Daniel also had a dream. He saw the four kingdoms represented by wild animals - beasts. Daniel saw the kingdoms more as they nothing else but were - earthly kingdoms in a world in rebellion against God.

This leads me to believe that it may be potential that the image of the beast spoken of in Revelation is the inward man. His image will not be that of the evil one he nothing else but is. His image will be that of a good man; and a leader who is able to get things done. His image will be the image of the ideal leader that population have longed for throughout history. In truth, inside and outside, the beast will be the poster boy for the sin nature that came to mankind when Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit.

All straight through history there have been giants of evil whose outward appearance seemed benevolent or good in the beginning. But inwardly, they were servants of the devil. They were beasts.

An example of just such a man from up-to-date history is Adolf Hitler. In the beginning to the population of Germany, his evil nature was not apparent. It seems that they saw not the real man, but an image or perception of what they believed a savior would be. This could not have happened except that first they had rejected the truth - and God then allowed a delusion to come to them. They believed a lie.

Eventually, the beast of Revelation will come on the scene. His actual name is not known. It is just prophesied that he will come, and he will be terrible. His personal image will not show the true character of his evil nature. His image will draw population to him like a magnet. Inwardly, he will be a beast.

To avoid worshiping him will be very difficult for those who come under his authority. population will Want to worship him anyway.
