Important People Of The Reinassance
The Characteristics Of The Reinassance
Renaissance means rebirth. It refers especially to the rebirth of learning that began in Italy in the fourteenth century spread to the north including England by the sixteenth century and ended in the north in the mid-seventeenth.During this period there was an enormous renewal of interest in and study of classical antiquity.
But it was not just a rebirth of the old to the new it was also an age of new discoveries (in land) and intellectually. Both of the discoveries offered a tremendous change for the western civilization. In science Copernicus attempted to prove that the sun was the center of the universe not the earth. In religion Martin Luther challenge and ultimately caused a division in one of the most important and major institution of times the church.
Study of the Renaissance might well center on five interrelated issues.First although Renaissance thinkers often tried to associate themselves with classical antiquity and to dissociate themselves from the Middle Ages important continuities with their recent past such as belief in the Great Chain of Being were still much in evidence.Second during this period certain significant political changes were taking place. Third some of the noblest ideals of the period were best expressed by the movement known as Humanism.Fourth and connected to Humanist ideals, was the literary doctrine of imitation important for its ideas about how literary works should be created.Finally what later probably became an even more far-reaching influence both on literary creation and on modern life in general, was the religious movement known as the Reformation.

How does Technology Impact Your Everyday Life?
Technology is something that is very important in our lifes because now without technology I think that we can live without it. Technology has turn indispensable in our lifes.
Examples:
Computers we use it for everything like looking for information that we need, playing games or seeing our social webs like FaceBook or Hi5.
Television has become so famous that everyone has one because its so weird to find someone that don't have one or that they don't watch television and specially kids love to watch television.
Ipod's I have see that like maybey 90% of the teenagers have one because teenagers and also kid's or adults love to have an ipod for listening to music or for watching videos and other things.
Blackberry Movil is a new electronnic device that now day's every teen have one because they find it very cool and because it have everything on it but not only teencager's have also adult's and now day's you can see little kid's that have one!
So yes technology has become indispensable for our lifes now day's I think that I can't live without technology it would be so hard to you to try to live wihout technology because for my own opinion I think that we depend on technology.

Why do Muslim women wear the HIJAB?
They say that women have to wear the HIJAB because when they wear it men cannot judge them by their appearance, personality, character and morals.
To wear the HIJAB is not a responsibiliy is a right given by the creator that knows them best.
Women they only cover themselves in front of men.
Some women don't like to cover themselves because they not agree with it but if they don't do it they get punished so they don't have another option that obey to wear the HIJAB.
Some women when they are in there house they don't wear the HIJAB because they think that noone is looking at them so they do it but for their religion that is something that is not right to do because they have to wear the HIJAB always!!!!

Muhammad Miracles!
Muhammad performed many phisical miracles witnessed. The miracles that Muhammad did were performed in front of the people eyes so them they believe him when he said, ‘I am God’s Messenger.’
This were the miracles that Muhammad desired at the time he choose:
This were the miracles that Muhammad desired at the time he choose:
“And they say, ‘We will not believe you until you break open for us from the ground a spring, or [until] you have a garden of date-palms and grapes and make rivers gush forth within them in force [and abundance] or you make the heaven fall upon us in fragments as you have claimed or you bring God and the angels before [us] or you have a house of ornament [gold] or you ascend into the sky. And [even then], we will not believe in your ascension until you bring down to us a book we may read.’ ‘Say, Exalted is my Lord! Was I ever but a human messenger?’’’ (Quran 17:90-93)
The answer was:
“And nothing has prevented Us from sending [this message, like the earlier ones,] with miraculous signs [in its wake], save [Our knowledge] that the people of olden times [only too often] gave the lie to them: thus, We provided for [the tribe of] Thamud the she-camel as a visible sign, but they wronged her. And never did We send those signs for any other purpose than to convey a warning.” (Quran 17:59)
When demanded ostensibly, God in His wisdom knew they would not believe, so He refused to show them miracles:
“Now they swear by God with their most solemn oaths that if a miracle were shown to them, they would indeed believe in this [divine writ]. Say: ‘Miracles are in the power of God alone.’ ‘And for all you know, even if one should be shown to them, they would not believe so long as We keep their hearts and their eyes turned [away from the truth], even as they did not believe in it in the first instance: and [so] We shall leave them in their overweening arrogance, blindly stumbling to and fro.’” (Quran 6:109-110)
In Medina Muhammad used to say sermons learning on a tree stump. But when the number of worshippers increased someone suggested Muhammad to built a pulpit so Muhammad listened to him and he built the pulpit. When Muhammad abandoned the tree trunk something happened. Abdullah ibn Umar, one of the companions, gave an eye-witness testimony of what happened. He say to Muhammad that the tree trunk was crying and that he listened when that happened. The event was confirmed through eye-witness.
Muhammad exorcised the devil out from a boy by only saying ‘Come out! I am Muhammad, the Messenger of God!’ and the demon come out of the boy.
In more than one ocassion people were indire need of water and Muhammad saved them. Only by putting his hands in the vessel and water began to flow thorugh Muhammads fingers.

I start to look where she was and I didn't saw her I was getting out of my nerves because alway's when we together shopping she dessapeared..and when I found her she start to (regañarme)..well like I say before I start to look where she was..and LA CAÑADA is a big shopping mall. Well I don't find her and I start to run up stairs down stairs and still I didn't saw her..the most stupid thing it was that I enter in some stores and in one that I enter I hit myself with the glass doors! Running because I didn't notice there was a glass door. Well after like an hour and a half I listen that they were calling me from the speaker and it was my mum that was looking for me..and people were like looking for a girl with my description and I din't notice...that all the hour that I was looking for my mum she was looking for me and the people to. It was random and finally when I see her she was sofocated.
