According to our manuscript tradition, The Infancy Gospel of Thomas was one of the most popular texts in the second century CE. How do you account for its popularity? What issues did this gospel tap into that may have appealed to an ancient audience hungry for more information on Jesus’ life? What, if anything, does its theme of family tell us about the social world of Christians in this era of Christianity’s history?

I have the research paper assignment instructions under additional materials. We will be working together for the next two months so I need you to totally comprehend the assignment details. You will be writing an article that will be anywhere from 9 to 13 pages but we will work on it step by step because i will be providing you with the necessary info. For this particular order, I need you to write an introduction that is one page long (2 paragraphs) or maybe longer if you see fit. For now let\’s start with one page and we might add an extra page later on. I have attached the 10 references that we will be using to cite our article. All those 10 references are articles that we will be using as our citation sources throughout the entire article. We will have to use ALL of them as sources in our article and we cannot use any more than these. For the introduction, you can cite as many as you see fit to make your point and give a general idea of the content of the article. Our topic is regarding the association of stress and academic achievement among college students. The college students are gonna be the college students from California State University of Los Angeles. We want to see if there is an association and our hypothesis that you will basically state at the end of the introduction is that stress reduces academic achievement in college students. Below is the format of the introduction which you can also find in the paper instructions that im providing you with:3. Background/introduction:a. Starts on new page, no heading.b. Paragraph: Explain importance of the outcome using statistics – incidence/prevalence rates, percentages, etc.i. References needed.c. Paragraph:i. Use previous studies to link exposure to outcome.1. References needed.ii. Use previous studies to indicate why the population is relevant to the exposure and outcome.1. References needed.iii. End with a clear statement of your hypothesis or objective.1. Exposure, outcome, and population must be clear.Please let me know if you have any questions. Looking forward to our cooperation.

DRNC Scenario
Background: The following story is a fictional account of planning and preparation leading up to the mythical Democratic-Republican National Convention (DRNC) event in Miami, Florida. The story is loosely based on an amalgamation of real life occurrences in the lead up to the Free Trade Area of the Americas conference in Miami, Florida in 2003. The names of all the characters in the story are fictional.
Meeting of the Mass Arrest/Mass Casualty Subcommittee (Six weeks before the beginning of the DRNC)
Major Louis Warren of the Miami-Dade Police Department has been appointed by MDPD Director Melanie Duncan as the principal planner and overall Incident Commander for Security of the DRNC special event. Major Warren has appointed Captain Barry Jackson and Captain Steven Black as co-chairs of the Mass Arrest/Mass Casualty Subcommittee. The subcommittee is comprised of the following members:

Captain Barry Jackson, Miami-Dade Corrections and Rehabilitation Department, Special Operations, Intake and Release Bureau Captain Steven Black, Miami-Dade Police Court Services Bureau Jerome Bethel, Government Liaison & Public Relations Office of the 11th Judicial Circuit of Florida Cynthia Fox, Miami-Dade County Clerk of the Courts Flip Morrison, Miami-Dade State Attorneys Office Gladys Thorpe, Miami-Dade Public Defenders Office Linda Riley, Jackson Memorial Hospital
Captain Barry Jackson called the meeting to order at 9:05 a.m. Captain Jackson introduced Major Louis Warren and Captain Earl Bishop to the rest of the subcommittee members. Both Warren and Bishop were known to most of the members. The Mass Arrest/Mass Casualty Subcommittee had met twice before, but Clerk of the Courts and the Public Defenders Office were being represented for the first time at this meeting, and Jackson felt that formal introductions were necessary.
Major Warren spoke briefly to open the meeting. He gave a brief recap of the overall security planning for the DRNC. Everything was on schedule, and most of the purchases of new equipment had already been completed. Warren also told the subcommittee that the training schedule was also moving along on time. After the short update, Warren gave the floor to Captain Bishop, who was there to provide an overview of the lessons learned from the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) Conference in 2003. That was the last time that the MiamiDade area had encountered an event similar to the upcoming DRNC.
Captain Bishop had put together a PowerPoint presentation as an overview of the issues encountered and the lessons learned from the FTAA Conference event (see the FTAA Independent Review Panel Report 209-20-04 in Doc Sharing). Bishop mentioned that in 2003, there were 234 arrests directly related to the FTAA Conference civil disturbances over a five day period. He told the subcommittee that they should expect at least twice that number for the upcoming DRNC. During the FTAA, there were approximately 10,000 total protestors. Bishop said that intelligence reports so far suggested that up to 20,000 protestors would be coming to Miami-Dade during the DRNC. Therefore, it was reasonable to expect at least twice the number of arrests this time around.
Bishop said that the 234 arrests during the FTAA were mostly done without incident, but that a few problems had been encountered. At one point during Thursday, the heaviest day for arrests during the FTAA, the booking desk at Dade County Jail had become overloaded. This occurred despite the setup of a temporary field detention site under the Metrorail station at Earlington Heights. It was at Earlington Heights that most of the problems occurred. There were the typical complaints of handcuffs being too tight and the lack of drinking water by the prisoners. But the most serious allegation was a sexual battery complaint against one of the Miami-Dade Corrections officers. That allegation was later determined to be unfounded, but the mere fact that the allegation was made had prompted the MDC Department to consider other preventive measures in the future to avoid the allegations in the first place.

The most prevalent complaint that week came from prisoners who claimed that their personal belongings had been thrown away by the police after they were arrested. The investigation after the incident revealed that indeed this had occurred on several occasions. Most of the instances were attributed to the hasty manner in which the prisoners were arrested and booked at the temporary detention facility. This was an allegation that was supported by the post-incident investigation.
The other issue that Captain Bishop brought up was the solidarity protest at the Civic Center on the last day of the FTAA. That was when approximately 200 remaining protestors converged at the parking lot of the State Attorneys Office next to the Dade County Jail in order to express their unhappiness with the arrest of their fellow protestors the day before. It was during Fridays solidarity protest that Miami-Dade Police discharged three Pepperball rounds during the arrest of seven protestors who had refused to obey a dispersal order. That was the only time that any chemical agents had been dispersed by MDPD personnel the entire week of the event. By contrast, the City of Miami PD had made use of chemical agents and other less lethal munitions on several occasions that week.
Captain Bishop concluded his presentation and stated that he was mostly concerned with the mass casualty angle. He asked the subcommittee how ready they felt to handle a large number of casualties should it occur during the DRNC. At that point in the meeting, Ms. Linda Riley from Jackson Memorial Hospital (JMH) took the floor and briefed the committee on the mass casualty plan that the subcommittee had been working on. That plan included JMH and other nearby hospitals and trauma centers.
