to begin with, for my art project I recycled my old skateboards to make a shelf. This art project was alot fun to do but it was also difficult. It was difficult because all of the supplies that I had to get and just all around putting it together.
My inspiration for recycling skateboards and creating a shelf was because I really love skateboarding and i saw someone make a chair out of skateboards and I it was so cool so i decide to try to make a shelf. i still haven't finished making the shelf but i plan to continue working on it and hopefully it will come out nice.
in conclusion this was one of my favorite and funnest projects that i have ever had because it allowed me to work on something that i truly love. I hope we get more projects like this as the year goes on.
For Digital Video, my partners and I (Evett & Kimme) created a short movie based off an obsession that Evett has with Sonic the hedgehog. This is the montage scene right after Evett finds out her favorite Sonic doll has been destroyed. It's suppose to be a comedy people, so laugh! (Even if you don't want to). The finished project will be re-uploaded soon.
The FAB Church had it's beginning in 1809 as the First African Baptist Church of Philadelphia. According to the official history by Charles H. Brooks, written in 1922, "during the closing years of the eighteenth century, a few black people who came to Philadelphia from eastern Virginia to escape the slave masters, were admitted to the First Baptist Church. There were no black Baptist churches in Pennsylvania at that time, and only a very small number of black people that were
St. Thomas Episcopal Church and Bethel A.M.E(i went to this church when i was 5). Church were organized during these years y) and it is said that the establishment of these churches was the outgrowth of humiliating treatment toward the black members of the white churches. But it is beyond controversy that the relations between the white and black members of the First Baptist Church were of the most cordial and Christian Character. As the black members grew in number, they decided to have a church of their own. on May 13th, 1809, thirteen people who had enjoyed membership in the First Baptist Church were all dismissed by letter on their own request for the purpose of forming the First African Baptist of Philadelphia. The church was organized on June 19th, 1809. Then, as now, women were in the majority, for these thirteen signers requesting dismission from First Baptist, nine were female. (my grandpop and aunt srevd on the trustee board they argue or the actaul amount of people who started the church
The first pastor was Reverend Henry Cunningham, who served from 1809 to 1813. The church rented a lot and buil their first church, 26 feet wide by 37 feet long, which was located on 10th Street above Vine Street.
James Burrows was born a slave and lived in Northampton County, VA. One of our most interesting historical facts is now revealed. He felt that he had been called to preach. the future pastor master refused to allow him the privilege. so he then conviced his master to permit him to come to Philadelphia to earn money to purchase his freedom. His master agreed to this only after Samuel Bivins and his cousin, John Bivins, who were freeman, put them selfs as a trade for the return of James Burrows. After working a year and saving the money to by his freedom, the money was sent. the bivins released i cureetly go to church with there neice, and they returned to Philadelphia to assist in the work of the church. Reverend Burrows had a successful pastorate was organized in 1841 and the church was removed from Haviland Place to Pearl Street near 11th Strsted in the army as chaplain.

On August 1, 1864 the Reverend Theodore D. Miller was called to fill the pulpit. Under his leadership the congregation grew from 240 people to over 12,000 members. The church relized the need for a bigger building and in 1867, a new church was built at 10th and Cherry Street. the building was entirely paid for during his time as a pastor. Reverend Miller died February 27th, 1897. He had served the church for 32 . Six months after the death of Dr. Miller, the church called Dr. William A. Creditt, who had an famous rep He cleared all debts and got rid of the mortgage on the building at 10th Cherry Streets. Through his guidance the church bought is first home in 1899, and put the pastor and his family in it. because of the sermons, the congregation outgrew the building where they had worshipped for almost 40 years. this time land was purchased, a new desgin for a church was planned and erected on the corner of 16th and Christian Streets in 1906 at an approximate cost of $100,000.00(this is the same buliding i attend now). Dr. Creditt resigned as the pastor September 19th, 1915 and died in Philadelphia June 10th, 1921. He was there 28 years.

Natural selection is a way of helping a species to become stronger by survival of the fittest. The theory of “survival of the fittest” describes what happens when a mutation in a species causes them to have certain traits that make it easier for them to feed or grow stronger. When thinking of homosexuality, a question could be where is natural selection in this section of life.
Homosexuality is present in humans and even apes, birds, reptiles and fish. It doesn’t quite help these species to grow stronger as far as reproduction goes but its usually used as a way of relieving the sexual stress that it caused by natural hormones. It is said, “sex is important but very inconvenient”. This is true in more traditional species that take the time out to have breeding seasons where the males are separated from the females. During this time, male hormones aren’t reduced but instead are present to the point where “male guppies will court each other for weeks while confined in a one-sex group”. Basically, homosexuality isn’t a way of helping reproduction, but at the same time doesn’t stop it. “Homosexuality doesn’t prevent reproduction: Homosexuals reproduce and would therefore be able to pass on a genetic propensity for homosexuality or ‘gay genes’”, but at the same time, even if they didn’t reproduce, it is not definite that there is a gene for homosexuality. In fact, scientists say that “No. There is no evidence that shows that homosexuality is simply ‘genetic.’” It is more possible that homosexuality is spontaneous and therefore will never become an extinct trait.
Still, there are people that will continue to adopt and continue on with their heterosexual capabilities despite their actions or feelings. Those male guppies still went on to have children after they were put back into their normal society, and this is the same across all of the species that adapt homosexual traits.

In order to tell time you definitaly need to know numbers from 1-60 in spanish. Telling time is not hard but you also need to know how to speak Spanish. By that I mean you need to know how to say half and quarter to and say how much to. For example….
Once you have mastered the numbers you are not yet done. Next you need to know that the –y- next to cincuenta y, or veint y etc. is pronounced like sin-quent-eye-or BENT-EYE also you need to know the pronunciation. Also like “es las tres" which means it is three o'clock. Or es las uno or es las ......etc.

Title: Days of the week When you do days of the week you need to know how to say days of the week. In order know how to say the days of the week you need to know the difference in between the capitals and lower case letters and also accents. Accents are the words with little lines on top of the letter and they are pronounces as shown in the graph below. Accents in the word may get you in trouble by saying it wrong and the teacher or Spanish person by them misinterpreting it. Also it may mean something else in Spanish. There will be a video that explains Dime asking shay that walks up what day is the test and dime gets scared because that day is the test so he starts scrambleing. You also need to know how to ask which is....¿que dia de la semana es el? Which means what day of the week is it? http://teachertube.com/members/viewVideo.php?video_id=204644&title=Spanish_days_of_the_week the link is posted above
Here are some frequently made claims evolution followed by why they are false.
Evolution claims that humans are descended from monkeys
While it is true that humans are somewhat closely related to modern apes, it is not true that we are “evolved from dang-dirty monkeys.” The truth is that humans share a common ancestor with monkeys; it is believed that this ancestor existed between 5 and 8 million years ago. At some point in time, this ancestor’s species evolved into two separate lineages.
So, to provide an analogy, monkeys are more like our cousins than our parents.
Evolution is entirely random
Evolution is the result of natural selection; this means that organisms are more likely to pass on dominant gene traits than recessive gene traits.
Now, to clarify—natural selection does not determine dominance of genes directly based on interactions with the environment. What happens is very simple—
Organisms with “dominant” genes survive.
Organisms with “recessive” genes do not survive.
Science!
Evolution is just a theory
Yes, evolution is classified as a scientific theory—this doesn’t mean that it has not been proven. It is it is important for one to note the difference between the scientific definition of theory and the contemporary definition of theory.
Contemporary definition of theory: A supposition or a system of ideas intended to explain something, esp. one based on general principles independent of the thing to be explained.
Scientific definition of theory: A scientific explanation of an observed phenomenon.
The theory of intelligent design is as feasible a theory as evolution
This is false; if not for many reasons, then for one:
Evolution is backed by empirical evidence.
Intelligent is not backed by empirical evidence.
More science!

H.R.4684: National September 11 Memorial & Museum Commemorative Medal Act of 2010
It has been almost 10 years since the tragic attack on the United States. September 11th is still a day that weighs heavy on the hearts of Americans. In late February a bill was passed in the House of Representatives. This bill proposed that the Secretary of Treasury be required to make medals in commemoration for the 10-year anniversary of 9/11. It also presented the idea of establishing the “National September 11 Memorial & Museum at the World Trade Center.”
On February 24, 2010 New York Representative Jerrold Nadler (D) proposed the idea and got over 300 co-sponsors, 314 to be exact. The bill was referred to the House Financial Services committee. After many edits and revisions the House passed the bill on July 20, 2010. The bill was passed on a voice vote and no records were kept of who actually supported the bill.
From the House the Senate took possession of the bill and two days later on July 22nd the Senate voted unanimously on the bill and it was passed on to President Obama for final approval.
A little over two weeks later on August 6th Obama signed the bill and passed it into a law. This law was passed very quickly due to it’s significance to Americans as a whole. In this piece of legislation each medal that is sold under this Act will have a surcharge of $10, which will be donated to the National September 11 Memorial & Museum at the World Trade Center in order to keep the museum maintained and in operation.
