Topic: Some schools require each student to participate in an organized school sport chosen by the student. People at these schools argue that athletics is an important part of the educational experience and that there should be a rule requiring participation. Others argue that students should be free to decide whether or not they wish to participate in organized school sports. Write an essay for a classroom instructor in which you take a position on whether participation in organized school athletics should be required. Be sure to defend your position with logical arguments and appropriate examples. Your essay must be 300–600 words in length.
Here's my answer:
Schools with sports as number one can be an interesting story. In order to be successful in something, you must spent quality time practicing that area of expertise. In my conclusions, I think athletics shouldn't be required, for the simple fact that academics classes arrive first than sports. I agree in the idea that kids must learn how to be fit and healthy, nonetheless, sports shouldn't become a requirement in school.
As seen in human history, athletes spend most of the time practicing their sport. As minors, they start to acknowledge their favorite sport with dreams of becoming the best. However, not everyone has the desire or the skill to fulfill such a goal. As previously mentioned, schools with sports can be an interesting story. Reason being that most of those schools require more athletic achievements than scholar goals. Our generations must bloom with successful lawyers and doctors, not football players and jockeys. In my way of thinking, academics arrive first.
Practicing a sport takes time away of more educative classes. The explanation is simple: to study math, you need to practice. To be good in sports, you need to practice as well. Spending time in studying trigonometry for an exam is more important than practicing how to catch for a baseball game. Sports should be a hobby, not the main source of employment.
Apart from my explanation in this topic, school is the primary factor for teenagers. Studies show that the majority of teenagers encounter the most stress due to classes and tests. On top of that, imagine having an important game coming up for your team and in the other hand, your professor announced that finals are around the corner and gives you a study guide. Your stress will escalate.
Irrevocably, lets keep our kids away from stress and help them focus on the main goal in life; be successful in a specialty, not in an occupation that makes the clock tick. After every, time cannot be recuperated. So we must waste our time on something fruitful, giving us incoming ages of wealthiness and substantial power. Education is the battery for the boat, and the pistons for the engine.

We’ll find many forked roads in life, they say;
Changing our lives in the simplest ways.
A treacherous path wrought with much indecision,
This shall suffice as life’s definition.
But why must one travel alone?
Meet these forked roads every on one’s possess?
And so we have people we adore arrive along
Those that support us and help us stay strong.
They hold our hand and guide the way,
Bringing laughter to brighten the day,
And making that journey
Pleasant, amusing and lively.
To Hallmark- sounding?
Please, only friendly critiquing only:)

My path.
I awake, an adult fully formed
from childish dreams.
My erstwhile baby dead and buried
in a field of possibility.
I stand naked on a rock hewn path
with empty hands.
Around me others, clad
and full equipped.
I don garb of linen, edged
with fig and vine
Chestplate, buckler, coif and greaves.
A slitted helm,
dictates my field of view.
The armour chafes.
I trudge along the path,
a drudge, a drone,
Blind to those that branch
both left and right,
and stumble 'pon a box.
Pandora's one.
Within, a scholar's robe, hod,
razor and a gun.
Concealed upon its base, a scroll
with seven seals.
The razor cuts the thongs
that bind my coif,
breastplate, greaves and buckler.
that clatter,
battering the path. My helm removed,
I look clearly.
These linen remnants become again the dust
from whence they came.
Now sheathed in scholars’ robes
and full equipped
I seize the scroll and break the seals.
A revelation there.
With power of thought, the razor
I can wield
to prune the bifurcations
of my path
And quicker progress do I make
toward my end.
Ere long days pass I weary
of my travail,
of cleaving left and right.
Until one day
I find another box, of cardboard,
plain, unlettered,
upended, spilling workaday clothes
oft patched and worn.
Re-styled anew, attire making me
the man I am.
Once more bereft of tools I find my path
through a complex
perplexity of thought and choice.
With simple rules
to guide me on my way.
To navigate me
within this Mobius reality in which
the shortest distance
between two points can never be
a straight line.
I'd really appreciate it if you could give me some info on what the imagery means to you. Thanks
T - awesome analysis. You were pretty much right, and it is a little depressing.
I deliberately used core biblical symbolism. Putting on clothes in the bible and in the poem means taking on a particular philosophy, so the poem is a journey through philosophy.
The breaking of the seals in the Book of Revelation has nothing to do with the end of the world. It describes the mental anguish of completely refuting the biblical canon.
The razor is a philosophical tool called Ockham's razor. Basically it means that the simpler the argument, the more likely it is to be true. So the razor pruning a bifurcating path, simply means restricting sophistic interpretations of evidence.
The unlettered box of workaday clothes, means I rejected the sophistic aspects of tertiary education and act in accordance with the dictates of my conscience. The mobius reality means that dualistic thought is useless, left and right, right and wrong have no real meaning and you can't always foresee consequences.

1. Is there any really good websites other than buddhanet that are really informative and have lessons and maybe even free mp3 downloads of meditation music of buddhist lessons.
2. Does anyone have any good meditation tips. I do the deep breathing and feeling my diaphragm rise and fall which really works, but are there any other ways to practice.
3. Are there any really helpful and informative books about buddhism. I have an everthing guide to buddhism and a book about Buddha. Is there any simple read ( i'm nice of young but very smart, with like a high school reading level ) books that explain the eightfold path, the noble truths and so forth.
4. Also what are the differences between the types of Buddhism. I haven't figured that out yet, my books don't explain it nor does the internet.
5. And lastly is there any official way to convert. Or should I tug a Lisa Simpson and scream out my window "I'm a Buddhist" lol. There aren't any temples close my home so I can't really go anywere to learn. ='(
Thanks So So Much :)

Asalamualeikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuho
May Allah swt watch over you and guide you every. Ameen
Dear brothers and sisters,
Surah At Tin while being a short Surah hides within it an amizing amount of Wisdom for those who seek to learn and truly examine its meaning. In my previous post we went over its references to prophet Jesus pbuh and Nabi Musa as well as prophet Muhammad saaws showing the completion and building of revelation through the prophets of Allah swt.
Now let's continue examining this glorious surah. The Next Verses after "WaHad al Baladil Ameeni"
are: Laqad khalaqna al-insana fee ahsani taqweemin
: We have indeed created man in the best of moulds,
Thumma radadnahu asfala safileena
:Then do We abase him (to be) the lowest of the low,-
Illa allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati falahum ajrun ghayru mamnoonin
: Except such as believe and do righteous deeds: For they shall have a reward unfailing.
Fama yukaththibuka baAAdu bialddeeni
: Then what can, after this, contradict thee, as to the judgment (to arrive)?
Alaysa Allahu bi-ahkami alhakimeena
: Is not Allah the wisest of judges?
From this point on the Message of the Surah is simple to understand if we examine it properly.
Allah swt reminds us of our origins as his creation. Allah swt has mentioned that we have been created out of clay or mud on numerous occasions. How can clay be the best form? The answer can simply be that as Allah swt is the creator and the every knowing he must know what is the best for humans including what form to make us in.
Humanity has achieved things that no other creature on Earth ever could. Why is this so? A quick study at our body shape proves that our opposable thumbs, upright stance, and proportion of limbs is exactly what we need to shape and manipulate the world around us. Our brain over every is an amazing miracle far superior to that of other creatures.
Then Allah swt reminds us that despite this he has humbled us due to our origin in clay. Clay or mud is one of the most common things to be found on Earth that may seem of little value to humans. It is certainly a lower form than the flame that the jin are made out of and the light that the angels are made from. A dirtier and it could be said less than perfect form, thus humanity is on a far lower scale to its creator and even to the angels.
The Surah then continues on, : Illa allatheena amanoo waAAamiloo alssalihati falahum ajrun ghayru mamnoonin
: Except such as believe and do righteous deeds: For they shall have a reward unfailing.
This helps us understand that Allah swt does not intend to keep us in such a low form of clay but rather elevate us to a higher form. This is to be part of our reward after every in Jannah. And As Allah swt has revealed his glorious Quran to us the wisdom of which far surpasses anything that could be written by a man how could we deny that this will be true?
There exists today many men who attempt to "disprove" or misguide people from Islam, however the essence and wisdom of the Quran and signs of Allah swt should clearly put any doubts out of our mind. And we should have no trust in anyone besides our lord.
In the Final line we are reminded of the JUSTICE that Allah swt encompasses. Is Not Allah swt the best of judges? Truly if he is the best and single creator than who is better suited to judge amongst his creations?
In finality we should not doubt in the justice wisdom nor promises that Allah swt makes us, for there us none but him suited to guide and judge amongst us.
wish this helps! Salaams :)

OK so it's really easy. every I'm trying to do is take a simple cosine function and stem plot it. I tried using FFT and it comes up with the right frequency but it makes a couple mirror frequencies like 20-40x the frequency of the one I'm trying to make, and none in the middle. I've looked every over the internet and I can't find a simple help guide.
Note: no, I don't want to filter it. And no, I don't want noise added.

I have an old laptop with windows XP on it and would like to use it as a print server, music server and a network steer for backups and to store photos on.
We have a wireless home network; a printer (currently wired to one laptop); three laptops including the old one (one is a mac); Apple TV and an iphone.
It would be awesome if we could plug the old laptop into the printer and then print from the other computers.
It would also be chilly if I could plug an external harddrive into the old laptop and use it as a network steer (for backups, photos and torrent downloads). The main difficult steer on the old laptop seems OK but I don't really trust it.
Finally it would also be great if we could install itunes on it and access it from the Apple TV and the other laptops.
I believe this is possible but have no idea how to do it. I've seen a few useful guides on the internet but nothing that explains the basics of the project in simple enough terms for an idiot like me to understand.
For example- how do you keep the laptop on 24/7 with the cover closed? Or will it snooze and wake needed? How do we cease the neighbours from accessing any shared drives? At the moment we just turn the computers on and they go; there are no passwords or accounts.
Any guidance or links to online guides that a 5 year old could understand would be much appreciated.

Hello I would really like to receive a head start in programming. I want to program simple iPhone or iPad apps. I'm only 14 though. So do you think I should wait until college to learn computer arts or something or start learning now?
Also if you have any good guides, books etc for learning code, preferably c++, please tell me thanks:)

When I was 20, I was involved in a very traumatic experience. I lost every self-confidence and it completely altered me - I was originally quite bullish, but the incident totally reduced me to a subservient mess.
I'm on with my recovery now, it's been (many) years however I am nearly back to me. I'm looking for my possess independence and this is completely new to me. I need to ask about renting. Can anyone give me a list of what I need to do to rent? Let's say I pick a place, what do I do? How do I organise electricity and council taxes and gas and internet? I don't know any of this so a very simple guide on what I have to do is appreciated.

How often do you guys clean your bike? I have been so obsessed with riding since I started that I haven't really cared what the weather is like and will just ride anyways.
I do however, care about my bike, and its ability to stay "in shape." Since the relax of the bike is aluminum, plastic, rubber, alloys, it seems the only place that would really feel the weather and/or crud on the roads would be the steer train. The chain, the cogs, the derailleurs, and the tiny bits of exposed cables.
How often do you guys do maintenance on your bike? Today after getting back, I took a wash cloth and wiped down the tires and rims, to prevent any crud from getting on my break pads. (Wiped those off too even though they didn't have anything on them.) I cleaned off some of the mud spatter on the frame, just for cosmetic reasons.
My question I guess is then, how often do you re-lube your chain? or how often do you degrease the entire steer train (every gears, chains, derailleurs, etc) so that it is every sparkly clean, and relube it every?
The upside (and I guess downside) of the Trek 1.1 is that the shifters aren't overly expensive so if they receive rusted out, it wouldn't be a huge hole in my pocket, but I would like to avoid any damage that I SHOULD know how to avoid. Is there any guides out there to simple maintenance that you guys would suggest?
The cogs/chain definately have some stuff on it, but it is difficult to tell if its good stuff or bad stuff. It looks nice of black, so I would guess it is "bad" stuff.

I've tried the HP site and its tech support. I've tried the troubleshooting from bother the software AND paper guide. NOTHING! It seems like a VERY simple problem. The Printer is only about 2 years old. An HP PSC 1315 with a new black ink cartridge and old color cartridge.
The mistake is as follows:
On/Resume light is a steady green.
Check Print Cartridge light is blinking red.
Big "E" in copies space.
I've reset, retried, reinserted, cleaned cartridges, etc.... with no result!
I KNOW there's a solution! And I don't want to waste my new black cartridge!
I haven't a lot of money.
Please, if you think of anything I can try, or any resource I've not gone to, please help!
Thanks!

This has been my basic problem since buying the Camera. Can anybody give me a simple step by step guide to setting up my Camera ( it's the 6MXL version ). Yes, it's easy to say look at the manual, but I'm slow to say the least. In the store they were not exactly helpful as I would have liked. Nevertheless, my previous requests have not fallen on deaf ears. Many thanks in advance !

Most people have tons of problems trying to jailbreak here is a simple guide to jailbreak just do it step by step. But first off when i jailbroke my ipod touch it took me at least 8 days to figure out how/bad resources but once it was done it was chilly at first but people say that you can receive free apps in the app store like a 50$ app for free which i figured out not to be true. Technically the best app off cydnia and rock was iPicoTv you could download every kinds of tv shows and watch it. But the worst problem about jailbreaking other than losing the warranty is when apps accident. And how slow the ipod was. but pretty fun overall but i recently took off the jailbreak. Just remember before i show you every how to jailbreak is it worth losing warranty and is jailbreaking every that good...Okay so this is what you do to jailbreak and ipod touch any generation i believe.
1.First you are going to need every the download and software to jailbreak. im preferably using blackra1n because it worked with my ipod.
blackra1n download- http://blackra1n.com/
from there you pick which computer you are running like windows xp computer or mac.
once that is downloaded you are going to want to open up itunes and plugin your ipod and click on it on the sidebar, until you receive to the screen to restore your ipod but dont restore yet.
2. you are going to have to download a firmware so your ipod can have the appropriate firmware to be jailbroken which would be 3.1.2/7D11. But when you downgrade your ipod its like restoring you will lose your apps to back them up before jailbreak/downgrade.
FIRMWARE LINK: http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/
3. Once the download is complete you have to open up itunes plug in your ipod and click on it on itunes now it you should be able to restore your ipod from that page. so hold down shift and then press restore it should show a pop up screen and from there you find the firmware you downloaded you double click the 3.1.2/7D11 and it should start restoring.
4. Once restored to 3.1.2 it might show a usb and itunes logo on your ipod. close itunes. and open up blackra1n keep your ipod plugged in and "press make it rain" but if a problem occurs like i had it said dcll.mistake or something like that. you have to copy blackrain and open my computer and double click the c: steer and glue it in there and that should fix the problem. and then click on the blackrain in c: steer and create a shortcut on desktop. once the jailbreak is done it should show the maker of blackra1n on your ipod wait till it reboots to the normal screen. then there should be a blackra1n app. click on it and install cydnia first. wait for it to download and then download rock app and it should be jailbroken.
if any problems comment on what they are.

We're having a finale festival at the camp where I work, and they've asked if I can bake a cake for it. We're expecting anywhere from 100 - 500 people to show up (very exact, I know). We plan to make one chocolate cake and one vanilla, and decorate them similarly so the kids don't argue over wanting the purple cake vs the yellow or anything like that. We also want to use a simple pattern with the icing for decoration (again, so kids don't argue "i want the blossom" or anything like that).
Does anyone who's done this before have any tips or know of any guides or sites about baking for such a big group?

They say miracles happen in the strangest of ways, and sometimes, when you least expect them. They also are known for coming in every sorts of shapes, sizes and manners. Aside from that though, what do we know of miracles? They are rare. They are powerful. They are inspiring. And they are supposed to be linked to God. A work of his, so to talk. But what if there is no higher being after every? Where do miracles arrive from then? Perhaps they are a figment of our over worked imaginations. Perhaps it's our human insanity, creating a bit of wish for us every, as the light in our lives fade. Perhaps it's chance.
But what if it's none of those things after every? Then what? Personally, I dwell upon these questions more often than most I meet. You look, it was I who experienced one of these so called 'miracles'. I use it in that context, because I'm unsure if anyone excluding me would even call it that. Now-a-days, what used to be considered miraculous is ordinary. Everyday things seem less important, less noticeable. I've passed by so many people who live this way, and I think to myself...what must their life be like? And I'm thankful to know that I'll never stick around long enough to witness the answer.
But there is a burden bound to that fact and that is seeing things for what they are. You'd think that wouldn't be so bad. Used correctly, you could look past every of the phony bologna bullshit everyone tries to sell you. You'd spot a lie from a mile away and automatically know how to handle it. Here is where I'm supposed to say something like "And then you could change the world...one person at a time", but if I said that I'd be a b.s. salesman too. As crazy as it sounds, we need the lies. They're what paints everyone a pretty picture to live by. The world doesn't seem as bad from that view. Being on each side at a time in my life, I would know. I didn't always...but Chris did.
That was one of the things I'd arrive to gather from spending most of my time with him. He never put a high value on those things everyone else seemed to care so much about. He had big dreams, but he'd be willing to toss them every away for what he believed in without a second thought. He didn't take the crap people tried to spit out at him, even when it was free and harmless, because he himself didn't lie. He was a good person, without God as a guide. He didn't need any religion, as far as he was concerned. And he didn't let anything or anyone convince him otherwise. every in every, he was the most honest person I had ever met, without the cruelty that usually came attached. And most importantly, he had a special way of seeing things.
I'd like to say some of him rubbed off on me in time, and I suppose, in someways he did. But for the most part, things didn't change after he was gone. I still woke up tardy on the weekends, and went to school during the week. I still stayed up tardy whenever I could and still ate way too much junk food. I still kept some of my bad habits, such as lashing out when I got mad or hurt, and ignoring pretty much everyone around me.I still, in a way, lived in my possess little world. And yet, I still remembered everything about him. It stuck to me like glue, the memories. Some days it tortured me. Some days I was thankful. And some days, like today, I was something else entirely...
***
As I sat leaning against the church with misty eye's, I realized it was one of those days. One of those days when I wished I had a faulty memory, every foggy and washed up. It was also one of those days when I knew I could recall every precious detail in full. It was enough to make me curse, something I rarely did these days. The reason for this was both simple, yet ridiculous and I knew if someone were to ask me why, I'd lie to them. The truth of it was, he had never cared for it much. And even though it shouldn't matter now, somehow it mattered more at this moment than it ever did before. It was difficult to think of it now, to think of him and the thoughts alone were enough to blur my vision. Attempting to will away the coming tears, I focused my gaze on the white fog that swirled in the air around me as I exhaled. It was the middle of January, 2012. A chilling breeze blew past me, causing me to shiver and I wrapped my arms around me tightly. A strand of brown swept across my brow and I tucked it behind my ear slowly, knowing that it wouldn't stay put for very long. It never did. It was a distraction though, if only for a moment, and for that I was grateful.
What was I even doing here? The question echoed within me, leaving traces of the toll it had taken.
((That's every I have so far. This was the prologue.))
Thanks for the feedback. That's not the first time I heard something about that phrase lol, but it was the image I was looking for. Surprise element. As for the other line, something I never really thought about, though I may reword it in the future. Thanks again (:

State whether each of the following is true or untrue:
(c) 4 ∉ B
I said untrue but the answer guide at wikibooks says it's true. Is it just a mistype?

Hafsa (ra) was the daughter of Umar ibn al Khattab (r.a).
She had been married to someone else, but was widowed when she as still very young, only eighteen.
Umar asked both Abu Bakr and Uthman ibn Affan, one after another, if they would like to marry her, but they both declined because they knew that the Prophet had expressed an interest in marrying her. When Umar went to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) to complain about their behavior, the Prophet smiled, and said, "Hafsa will marry one better than Uthman and Uthman will marry one better than Hafsa." Umar was startled and then realized that it was the Prophet was asking for her hand in marriage.
He was overcome with delight. They were married just after the battle of Badr, when Hafsa was about twenty years old and the Prophet as fifty-six. By this marriage, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) strengthened the ties between two of his closest Companions, the two who would become the first two rightly guided khalifs after his death. He was now married to the daughter of Abu Bakr, A'isha and to the daughter of Umar, Hafsa.
Two of the other closest Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) who would become the third and fourth Rightly guided Khalifs were also connected to the Prophet through marriage.

I've got the universial remote from comcast with the red OK button, i first got the service and it fully functioned normaly nothing was wrong with it at every. One day ago i got the HD DVR box and found a few features functioned differntly on the same remote i had from the begining such as the part were i use to be able to press the arrow down key and it would bring up the mini guide menu now on the DVR If i'm in the middle of watching something i paused it brings it to its current live form nothing to big i can live with this.
The next day i try going to channel 939 however when i press the 3 button i notice for somereason its like i'm pressing 6 except i'm watching myself press 3... simple solution no problem i use the 980 reset code to reset every mappings to defaults for every buttons. 2 hours later i press tv mode "so keep in mind this whole time i'm in TV mode" and this is where it gets fishy... i press the menu button to bring up my TV menu, i press the arrow keys to pan through my menu options i highlight what i want to select i press ok and bam... theres the issue, i press ok and my mini guide pops up from my cable box.
This doesn't bug me in cable mode because now i don't have to press info then arrow down to bring up the mini guide... but its like that default code locked the OK button to Cable mode. What my question is... is how do i unlock the OK buttons functions from cable mode to allow me to use it in TV mode.
Recently i did another programming today the programming consisted of puting the remote in TV mode, held setup till blinked twice, pressed 994, pressed setup key once blinked once, pressed 00078 to select the ok/select button to release control functionality, pressed tv mode to select what mode to allow its functions in pressed ok blinked twice to confirm succesfull programming, i pressed TV mode menu tested the OK button... well i'm one step closer, it works in TV mode however
another issue arised, its not an OK button now it brings up my storage device menu for my TVs USB device slot.
is there a way to program this OK button to work with my LG tv as an OK/select button like it did before i did the remap remote reset 980 code? it worked before every this now i can't even find a code for this.
thank you for taking the time to read this long post and your time to answer it thanks alot. Please if you do have a salution for this please explain in well details if its short sometimes i receive confused as far as "do i press this then press that or is that just refering to the button i'm selecting" again thanks.

Cowboy's Guide To Life
by Bob Hardison
•Most of the stuff people worry about ain't never gonna happen anyway.
•Life ain't about how quick you run, or how high you climb, but how well you bounce.
•Words that soak into your ears are whispered, not yelled.
•Life is simpler when you plow around the stump.
•Forgive your enemies. It messes up their heads.
•Don't sell your mule to buy a plow.
•If you're ridin' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there with ya.
•Do not corner something that you know is meaner than you. You cannot unsay a cruel word.
•Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.
•Don't interfere with somethin' that ain't botherin' you none.
•Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.
•The easiest way to eat crow is while it's still warm. The colder it gets, the harder it is to swaller.
•If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is cease diggin'.
•The biggest troublemaker you'll probably ever have to deal with looks at you in the mirror every mornin'.
•Don't worry about bitin' off more 'n you can chew; your mouth is probably a whole lot bigger'n you think.
•Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta that comes from bad judgment.
•Remember: Don't squat with your spurs on.
•Live a good, honorable life. Then when you receive older and think back, you'll like it a second time.
•If you receive to thinkin' you're a person of some influence, try orderin' somebody else's dog around.
•Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin' it back in.
•The best sermons are lived, not preached.
•Keep skunks and politicians and lawyers at a distance.
•It don't take a very big person to carry a grudge.
•If it don't seem like it's worth the effort, it probably ain't.
•It's better to be a has-been than a never-was.
•Meanness don't jest happen overnight.
•When you wallow with pigs, expect to git dirty.

The Bible has been a constant source of skepticism for me. It contains verses that don't seem like the world of a loving God, but instead the work of simple, imperfect, men. Many people can agree these are not good things. But many Christians seem to ignore these verses. I will not ignore them, and I will not be scared to question the Bible any longer.
It contains a guide to slavery:
"If you buy a Hebrew slave, he is to serve for only six years. Set him free in the seventh year, and he will owe you nothing for his freedom."
Exodus 21:2
Murder for marriage violations (isn't God forgiving?)
"If, however, the charge is true and no proof of the girl's virginity can be found, she shall be brought to the door of her dad's home and there the men of her town shall rock her to death."
Deuteronomy 22:20-21
These things amongst other verses bother me, and as so cause me to "lose faith" is Jesus Christ and Christianity. Many people say these verses are not for us because they are in the Old Testament. That's fine. But of God is great, powerful, etc, why were they needed in the first place? Why must they be in the Holy Book?

I have a question regarding strings in C++?
Here it is:
Using the executable in this folder as a guide, do the following operations (in order) on a string:
* cout << "Enter a string:"; Make sure you allow space to be used.
* cout << "Change every the uppercase letters to lower case" << endl;
* cout << "Remove every spaces" << endl;
* cout << "Move one the first pair of double letters to the beginning (delete the other letter)" << endl;
* cout << "Replace the first vowel with a 'u'. (a vowel is aeiou)" << endl;
* cout << "Change every 'w' to 'm'" << endl;
* cout << "Change every 'e' to 'i'" << endl;
* cout << "Add an k to the end" << endl;
* cout << "Remove the first pair of double letters" << endl;
* cout << "Insert a 'p' after every 'h'" << endl;
* cout << "Swap the letters in positions 10 and 13 " << endl;
* cout << "Delete letters at positions 1 & 2 " << endl;
* cout << "Delete letters at positions 2 & 3 " << endl;
* cout << "Delete the last letter" << endl;
* cout << "Swap the letters in positions 2 and 5 " << endl;
* cout << "Delete letters at positions 3 & 4 " << endl;
The executable is a simple file asking us to the enter the string:
