Our oceans cover more than 70 per cent of the Earth's surface.With so much of the Earth's surface taken up by ocean, it's evident how vital these marine environments are to the planet, and how much there still is to be explored.As so much of the Earth's surface is underwater, it comes as no surprise that marine species outnumber those on land.
But, it's an incredible 94 per cent of the Earth's living species that exist within the oceans.According to the Ocean Service, man has explored less than five per cent of Earth's oceans. As researchers strive to discover more, we're continually getting to know our oceans better. Because of that do not swim everywhere,you can get lost.

Auto Parts Execs Face Prison Time, $1 Million Fine for Price Fixing
The Department of Justice reports that three Japanese automotive parts executives have been indicted for their alleged participation in a conspiracy to fix prices and rig bids for the sale of automotive body sealing products sold in the U.S. Automotive body sealing products consist of body-side opening seals, door-side weather-stripping, glass-run channels, trunk lids and other smaller seals, which are installed in automobiles to keep the interior dry from rain and free from wind and exterior noises.
Justice alleges that these executives conspired with their competitors from as early as Sept. 2003 until at least Oct. 2011 to fix the prices of body sealing products sold to two major automakers and installed in U.S. cars. According to the indictment, each of these executives instructed their subordinates at their respective companies to communicate with co-conspirators at other companies in order to allocate sales of, rig bids for and fix the prices of automotive body sealing products. The indictment further alleges that the executives were aware that employees under their supervision were engaging in and condoned such communications. In addition, one of the executives attended meetings in the U.S. with co-conspirators during which he reached agreement regarding sales of automotive body sealing products to two automakers. If convicted, each individual faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $1 million criminal fine.
This indictment is the result of an ongoing federal antitrust investigation into price fixing, bid rigging and other anticompetitive conduct in the auto parts industry. According to the DOJ, a total of 58 individuals and 37 companies have been charged and have agreed to pay more than $2.6 billion in criminal fines.

Questioning the effectiveness of affirmative action
Throughout our high school careers, we've dedicated our lives to rigorous classes, athletics, and extracurriculars, all for the sake of getting into a good college. Yet despite all the hard work we put in, admission officers at the nation's top colleges continue to consider racial background alongside academic merit and personal achievement.
Several recent Supreme Court cases have brought light to this subject, sparking a nationwide debate. While Fisher v. University of Texas examined the ethics of racial preferences, the new Schuette v. Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action case challenges whether banning these advantages is even constitutional.
Following the civil rights movement of the 1950s, affirmative action, also known as "positive discrimination" or "employment equality," was created in hopes of increasing representation of minority groups in the professional world. The federal government began to implicate policies that primarily gave advantages to Latinos and African Americans when applying for employment or higher education. The goal was to promote diversity in these institutions, creating the opportunity for varied ideas and perspectives.
Affirmative action was created with good intentions, and undeniably helped minority groups reach milestone achievements; however, more than half a century later, its effectiveness comes into question. It's true that without affirmative action, America might have never seen a black president, Hispanic doctors, or Muslim professors. After years of subjugation, these people needed the advantage, as success would have been impossible without it. But in today's world, is it in the best interest to categorize the needy by race?
The United States has undergone tremendous social reform in these past few generations, and minorities have been able to gain a significant presence. Though we are far from achieving complete racial equality, it has come to the point where racial preference has become more detrimental than it is beneficial. While it may seem like a moral obligation, giving certain minorities an advantage can only act as a temporary solution in this battle.
In their 2009 book No Longer Separate, Not Yet Equal, Princeton sociologist Thomas Espenshade and researcher Alexandria Walton Radford explore the racial injustice of the education system. In an experiment controlled for grades, legacy status, test scores, and athletic standing, it was found that an African American student was 15 times more likely than an Asian American to be admitted to a competitive university. Hispanics have six times, and whites three times higher of a chance of being accepted than that same Asian student.
Although many of these students do extremely well, some accepted under affirmative action end up falling behind their peers, and are unable to remain competitive. It is only through race-blind application processes that an academically balanced student body would come to exist.
Under affirmative action, the legitimacy of those who succeed in the most selective schools is often questioned, and they are faced with more discrimination, under the presumption that their success was entirely dependent on affirmative action.
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas remains outspoken on his stance against affirmative action. As an African American student, he was a beneficiary of racial preference, but faced prejudice towards his work. In his memoir My Grandfather's Son, he recalls how "Many asked pointed questions unsubtly suggesting that they doubted I was as smart as my grades indicated. Now I knew what a law degree from Yale was worth when it bore the taint of racial preference."
In a society where equal opportunity has become so valued, it is illogical that any form of racial discrimination still exists. It is not until racial preference is completely eradicated that social justice will be reached, and minorities will gain the equality they deserve.
As Justice Thomas wrote, "just as the alleged educational benefits of segregation were insufficient to justify racial discrimination then … the alleged educational benefits of diversity cannot justify racial discrimination today."

Philanthropic donors get as much as they give
Philanthropy, the voluntary sharing of time and money to make the world a better place, is more than a zero sum game in which the donor has to lose something for for the recipient to gain something of like value. Donors also clearly come out ahead. The act of making a gift helps them realize more of their human potential and become better people.
There is plenty of research backing this up. Consider a recent Razoo.com survey showing more than nine in 10 adults (94 percent) have donated to others — and that doing so is one of the top three "feel good" activities (45 percent) — behind being in love (56 percent) and hugging their children (48 percent) — but beating out eating gourmet meals (27 percent) or working out at the gym (24 percent). A majority of those who have ever donated to those in need feel that they're making a difference (60 percent), feel satisfied (48 percent), feel good about themselves (43 percent), and feel excited (28 percent).
When you've been in the fundraising business long enough, you recognize the "high" donors get from making a gift. It's an uplifting feeling, evidenced by the smiles on their faces and their eagerness to hear about the impact of their gifts.
In the late 1980s, Dr. James Andreoni, economics professor from the University of California at San Diego, presented research that the internal motives for giving were indeed more important than many people had acknowledged. He came up with a name for his idea — the "warm glow" theory — and it has stuck.
In the warm glow view of philanthropy, people aren't giving money merely to save the whales. They're also giving money to feel the glow that comes with being the kind of person who's helping to save the whales.
Talk to donors who make gifts at all levels, from $1 to $1 million and more, and you'll hear about their lives being enriched.
Donors get as much from making a gift as the recipients. Philanthropy is a rising tide that lifts all boats — including those carrying the recipient, the solicitor, and the donor.
Keep in mind that philanthropy doesn't belong exclusively to any one group, even the wealthy. Some 70 percent to 80 percent of Americans contribute each year to at least one charity, giving $1,800 each, on average.
There are boundless opportunities to give and advance important causes through non-profits and other organizations with missions worth supporting. Remember, giving means the sharing of both time and money, and the two typically go hand-in-hand. So those who donate both time and money derive more benefits than those who just give one or the other.
The start of a new year is a perfect time to get started or ratchet up your level of engagement. Philanthropist role-model Bill Greehey likes putting it this way: "Givers are healthier, happier, richer, and live longer. Share your success with others."

Diabetes Mellitus and the Eyes
Diabetic retinopathy is a condition occurring in persons with diabetes, which causes progressive damage to the retina, the light sensitive lining at the back of the eye. It is a serious sight-threatening complication of diabetes.
Diabetes is a disease that interferes with the body's ability to use and store sugar, which can cause many health problems. Too much sugar in the blood can cause damage throughout the body, including the eyes. Over time, diabetes affects the circulatory system of the retina.
Diabetic retinopathy is the result of damage to the tiny blood vessels that nourish the retina. They leak blood and other fluids that cause swelling of retinal tissue and clouding of vision. The condition usually affects both eyes. The longer a person has diabetes, the more likely they will develop diabetic retinopathy. If left untreated, diabetic retinopathy can cause blindness.
Symptoms of diabetic retinopathy include:
Often there are no visual symptoms in the early stages of diabetic retinopathy. That is why the American Optometric Association recommends that everyone with diabetes have a comprehensive dilated eye examination once a year. Early detection and treatment can limit the potential for significant vision loss from diabetic retinopathy.
OCT and the Eyes
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging test that uses light waves to take cross-section pictures of your retina, the light-sensitive tissue lining the back of the eye.
With OCT, each of the retina's distinctive layers can be seen, allowing your optometrist to map and measure their thickness. These measurements help with diagnosis and provide treatment guidance for glaucoma and retinal diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration and diabetic eye disease.
In addition, OCT is often used to evaluate disorders of the optic nerve. The optic nerve is made up of many nerve fibers and sends signals from your retina to your brain, where these signals are interpreted as the images you see. The OCT exam is helpful in determining changes to the fibers of the optic nerve, such as those caused by glaucoma.
Since OCT relies on light waves, it cannot be used successfully with any condition that interferes with light passing through the eye, such as dense cataracts or significant bleeding in the vitreous (the gel in the center of the eye).
Macular Degeneration
Also commonly referred to as, "age-related macular degeneration," this condition is diagnosed by examination of the back of the eye, which the doctor searches for a mottled appearance caused by drusen, yellow deposits that form under the retina. Optometrists typically check for macular degeneration by dilating the eyes with medicated drops and then using the slit lamp to examine the back of the eye.
Another common test that can help identify macular degeneration is the optical coherence tomography (OCT), a non-invasive imaging test that displays detailed cross-sectional images of the retina. This test identifies areas of retinal thinning, thickening, or swelling--all of which can be caused by fluid accumulations from leaking blood vessels in and under the retina.
Glaucoma is a group of eye disorders leading to progressive damage to the optic nerve, and is characterized by loss of nerve tissue resulting in loss of vision. The optic nerve is a bundle of about one million individual nerve fibers and transmits the visual signals from the eye to the brain. The most common form of glaucoma, primary open-angle glaucoma, is associated with an increase in the fluid pressure inside the eye. This increase in pressure may cause progressive damage to the optic nerve and loss of nerve fibers. Vision loss may result. Advanced glaucoma may even cause blindness. Not everyone with high eye pressure will develop glaucoma, and many people with normal eye pressure will develop glaucoma. When the pressure inside an eye is too high for that particular optic nerve, whatever that pressure measurement may be, glaucoma will develop.
Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness in the U.S. It most often occurs in people over age 40, although a congenital or infantile form of glaucoma exists. People with a family history of glaucoma, African Americans over the age of 40, and Hispanics over the age of 60 are at an increased risk of developing glaucoma. Other risk factors include thinner corneas, chronic eye inflammation, and using medications that increase the pressure in the eyes.
Most cataracts, a condition where the lens of the eye becomes cloudy, occurs due to age-related changes in the eyes. However, other factors can contribute to the development of cataracts, including but not limited to:
Rarely, cataracts can be present at birth or develop shortly after. They may be inherited or develop due to an infection, i.e. rubella, in the mother during pregnancy. A cataract may also develop following an injury to the eye or surgery for another eye problem, such as glaucoma.
While there are no clinically proven approaches to preventing cataracts, simple preventive strategies include reducing exposure to sunlight through UV blocking lenses, decreasing or discontinuing smoking and increasing antioxidant vitamin intake through consumption of leafy green vegetables and nutritional supplements.
Pediatric Vision
Pediatric vision screening is intended to identify children with vision disorders including amblyopia (poor vision in an otherwise normal eye), strabismus (misalignment of the eyes), significant refractive error (need for glasses) or other eye abnormalities. Vision screening can be performed in the community setting such as at health fairs, in preschools, grade schools, or can be performed in the medical home (pediatrician or family doctor's office).
Children considered to be at risk for the development of eye and vision problems may need additional testing or more frequent re-evaluation. Factors placing an infant, toddler, or child at significant risk for visual impairment include:

- March 10, 2011- Lady Gaga and Target Cancel Deal over Gay Rights Issues – "Lady Gaga and Target came to a mutual decision to end their overall exclusive partnership a few weeks ago," a spokesperson for the singer said. According to the Advocate and Metro Weekly, the marketing partnership with U.S. retailer, Target, came to an end allegedly over its support of anti-gay political candidates and also allegedly due to the company's weak support for gay rights. Target, which had been expected to release an exclusive version of Gaga's forthcoming album, has been criticized for donations to political groups seen as anti-gay. "Part of my deal with Target is that they have to start affiliating themselves with LGTB charity groups," Lady Gaga told Billboard at the time of the announcement. "Our relationship is hinged upon their reform in the company to support the gay community and to redeem the mistakes they've made supporting those groups." But though Target has made contributions to organizations such as Project 515, which advocates same-sex marriage, a spokesperson couldn't guarantee that the retailer would not continue to support candidates with anti-gay voting records seen as anti-gay.
- July 2010- Boycott of Home Depot, Now "Homosexual Depot" – The American Family Association is calling for a nationwide boycott of The Home Depot because of its support for the radical homosexual agenda, and in particular for exposing young children to homosexual behavior. Despite extensive communication between AFA and The Home Depot, HD officials remain unmoved and resolute in continuing to allow their affiliates to sponsor as many pro-gay, pro-transsexual events as they'd like. These events can include flaunting of leather, whips, studded collars, feather boas, nudity, simulated and real sex acts, and other perversions.
- September 12, 2010- Gay Marriage Gains More Acceptance – Polls this year have found that more Americans favor allowing gays and lesbians to marry legally than did so just last year. In two polls conducted over the past few months, based on interviews with more than 6,000 adults, 42% favor same-sex marriage while 48% are opposed. In polls conducted in 2009, 37% favored allowing gays and lesbians to marry legally and 54% were opposed. For the first time in 15 years of Pew Research Center polling, fewer than half oppose same-sex marriage.
- Mainline Protestants and Catholics Condone Gay Marriage – Pluralities of white mainline Protestants and white Catholics now favor allowing gays and lesbians to marry legally — the first time this has occurred in Pew Research Center surveys.
- Public Support for Gays in Military Increases – Pew Research findings show that the public continues to be far more supportive of gays and lesbians serving openly in the military than of allowing legal same-sex marriages. This year, 60% say they favor allowing gays and lesbians to serve openly in the military, while 30% oppose this. Support for gays serving openly in the military has remained fairly stable over the last five years. In 1994, shortly after the Clinton administration implemented the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy, opinion was more evenly divided (52% favor vs. 45% oppose).
- Majority of Americans Favor Legal Gay Marriage – According to Gallup Politics in a report issued on May 21, 2011 for the first time in Gallup's tracking of the issue, a majority of Americans (53%) believe same-sex marriage should be recognized by the law as valid with the same rights as traditional marriages. The increase since last year came exclusively among political independents and Democrats. Republicans' views did not change. Republicans and older Americans remain opposed.
- Governor Cuomo Announces Passage of Marriage Equality Act – On June 24, 2011 Governor Andrew M. Cuomo announced passage of the Marriage Equality Act, granting same-sex couples the freedom to marry under the law, as well as hundreds of rights, benefits, and protections that have been limited to married couples of the opposite sex. Lawmakers voted for same sex marriage making New York the largest state where gay and lesbian couples will be able to wed and giving the national gay-rights movement new momentum from the state where it was born. Governor Cuomo also stated that all 50 U.S. states should make same-sex marriage legal.
- Gay "Economic Terrorism" (September 2, 2011) The Blaze posted information on their website that big companies targeted for ties to Christian Groups opposing gay marriage have been harassed by gay groups. Charity Giveback Group (CCBG) represents most of the 170,000 Christian-based organizations receiving donations from retailers. Gay advocacy groups have put intense pressure for retailers to cut-off ties with CCBG. Despite gay activists' success in boycotting CGBG initially, a new counter-campaign has been launched called, Christians/Consumers Against Retail Discrimination.
- Retailer's Resume Christian Charitable Donations – Despite pressure throughout the year from gay groups to separate retailers from Charity Give Back Group (the Christian company at the forefront of the gay's badgering tactics) many companies like Walmart and Sam's Club have resumed their relationships with the organization. This is likely to further infuriate the gay activists who have worked so hard to hamper the company's success among major retailers. While gay rights advocates feel that they are fighting against "hate groups," conservative Christian organizations feel they are being directly targeted for their religious beliefs. And the marketer feels as though customers are being denied full access to choose donation recipients of their choice.
- U.S. President Declares Support for Gay Marriage – On May 9, 2012 in an interview at the White House with ABC News President Obama declared his strong support for gay marriage making him the first U.S. President to back gay marriage while in office.
- Gay Marriage – Gay marriage was signed into law on June 24, 2012 in New York State after the Senate passed a "historic" bill 33-39. New York became the sixth and largest state to legalize gay marriage. Proponents of this legislation hope to send a message to other states to encourage similar laws to be passed by other states throughout the U.S.A. in an attempt to place gay "marriage" under the same accepted standards as traditional marriage.
- Tel Aviv Trumps New York as "World's Best Gay City" – Mail Online on January 24, 2012 published statistics that the Israeli metropolis beats New York and Toronto in a poll naming best urban destinations for gay travelers and named Tel Aviv the world's number one gay city. The Israeli metropolis beat out competition from New York to top a survey carried out by American Airlines and GayCities.com to find the most popular destination for gay travelers. GayCities described Tel Aviv as "the gay capital of the Middle East is exotic with a Mediterranean c'est la vie attitude." Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai hailed his "free city" and said he is proud of the survey results.
- Religious Jews Protest against "Gay" Parade, Jerusalem – (August 2, 2012)Israel National News posted a story where hundreds protested homosexual parade in Jerusalem. A strong supporter of the protest, Barach Marzel said, "Jerusalem cannot stand impurity and abomination, what these leftists and perverts are doing in Jerusalem is hurtful to all residents of Jerusalem, to the sanctity of Jerusalem and a danger to the existence of the nation of Israel in the Land of Israel."
- Gay Activist Arrested in Family Research Council Shooting – (August 15, 2012) According to an Associated Press report, the suspect in the Family Research Council (FRC) shooting in Washington D.C. is a gay activist who disagreed with the organization's policies. Floyd Corkins entered the lobby at the Family Research Council and made negative comments about the organization before shooting a security guard in the arm. The security guard, Leo Johnson, was able to disarm the gunman, who was then arrested. Corkins seemed intent on making a point about the Family Research Council's support of traditional marriage and opposition to the legalization of gay marriage. The shooter had been volunteering at the D.C. Center for the LGBT Community for the past six months.
- Barack Obama made history in his inaugural address today mentioning the word "gay" and the issue of gay rights for the first time in a speech at the presidential swearing in.

- Homoerotic stamps -Finland produces the "world's first" homoerotic stamps, celebrating one of the country's most famous artists – Tom of Finland.
- Supreme Court and Same Sex "Marriage" – On October 6, 2014, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear appeals in all the cases it had been asked to consider from appellate courts in the Fourth, Seventh, and Tenth Circuits, allowing decisions from those courts striking down marriage bans to stand. The states with bans at issue in those cases were Indiana, Oklahoma, Utah, Virginia, and Wisconsin.
- The court's action has led to legal same-sex marriage in Colorado, North Carolina, and West Virginia; it is also expected to affect other states within the three circuits—Wyoming, Kansas, and South Carolina. A decision the next day by the Ninth Circuit invalidating bans on same-sex marriage in Idaho and Nevada has now affected Alaska and is expected to also affect Arizona and Montana.
- The Supreme Court Legalizes Gay Marriage Nationwide – The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 on that it is legal for all Americans, no matter their gender or sexual orientation, to marry the person of their choice. Justice Anthony Scalia was the only one who dissented and rightly stated that the majority opinion lacked "even a thin veneer of law."
In Pew Research Center polling in 2001, Americans opposed same-sex marriage by a margin of 57% to 35%. Since then, support for same-sex marriage has steadily grown. Based on polling in 2016, a majority of Americans (55%) support same-sex marriage, compared with 37% who oppose it.
In Pew Research Center polling in 2001, Americans opposed same-sex marriage by a margin of 57% to 35%.

Based on polling in 2017, a majority of Americans (62%) support same-sex marriage, while 32% oppose it. See the latest data on same-sex marriage.

We were under the impression that Governor Andrew Cuomo's law making texting-while-driving a primary traffic offense in New York was designed to prevent people from, well, texting while driving.
That said, the gov's now crowing about how successful the law is by announcing that there have been more than four times the number of tickets issued in New York for texting while driving this year than there were last year — which seems like an (ahem) interesting way to boast the "success" of the year-old law.
In other words, Cuomo is basically saying that the law — again, intended on keeping people from texting while driving — is a success because there are more people getting caught doing it. Not that it's a success because there are less people doing it — which we'd venture to guess isn't the case (we still text while driving, like, all the time — despite Cuomo's law. Thug Lyfe!).
Further, the huge increase could potentially indicate that there are even more people texting while driving.
Regardless, Cuomo claims the following:
"The major increase in tickets issued for texting-while-driving
violations since this law went into effect demonstrates its usefulness
in helping our law enforcement authorities crack down hard on distracted
driving. Using a handheld device while driving
puts other motorists in danger and can lead to tragic consequences.
These tickets should send a resounding message to all drivers: keep your
eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel. I thank the State Police
and local law enforcement for their dedication to ensuring the safety of
the people of the state of New York."
As we mentioned, the law, enacted last year, makes using a handheld
device while driving a "primary traffic offense," which means cops can
stop you for doing only that — they no longer need to find some other
reason to stop you, like a broken taillight, and then say, "oh, by the
way, you're also texting while driving…"
Last year, there were 4,569 texting-while-driving tickets issued statewide. This year, there have been 20,958.
Granted, the law gives law enforcement more authority to stop
distracted drivers. However, that doesn't mean the law is doing anything
to actually curb distracted driving, and the fact that four times as
many people are getting cited for doing it certainly doesn't mean the
law is a "success" — unless by "success" the governor is talking about
the extra coin the state is raking in ticketing texting motorists.
If that's Cuomo's definition of success, let's just call the law what it is: a state-sanctioned money grab.

David Richard Contemporary is pleased to present Trajectory, a solo exhibition of new paintings by Alex Couwenberg. In this body of work, Couwenberg continues to explore rectilinear forms and curved shapes on open fields of pure color. He immerses the viewer in his Southern California world with a hint of the surfing scene, car culture and pinstripes, mid-century design and architecture. His work seems calm and reductive from a distance, but upon closer inspection one realizes the complexity and subtle tensions that exist between the layering of paint and unique surfaces asymmetrically situated within the vast negative space. Tensions are further exploited between tightly controlled lines juxtaposed against loose gestural strokes and densely clustered regions spinning out into the open field to strike a perfect compositional balance and rhythm.
Alex Couwenberg has had 26 solo exhibitions and his work has been included in numerous group exhibitions in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, St Louis and other cities since 1994. Couwenberg's work has been acquired for the permanent collections of the Laguna Art Museum in California, the Daum Museum of Art in Missouri, as well as the permanent collections of Pitzer College and Pomona College Museum of Art. His work is included in "Out of Line," a traveling exhibition curated by the Riverside Art Museum focusing on the contributions of non-objective painting in Southern California. Couwenberg was recently awarded the highly prestigious Joan Mitchell Foundation Award for his achievements in painting. He currently lives and works in Los Angeles.
The exhibition will be accompanied by an on-line catalog with an essay by James Yood, who teaches modern and contemporary art history at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and also directs its New Arts Journalism program.

Rihanna - What Now - Video Made in Phuket
So, Rihanna and Phuket were in the news recently .. she was here (I did not see her), and caused a stir by posting a photo of herself with a slow loris, which is an endangered animal, on Bangla road in Patong where touts always hang around with engangered animals and nobody cares. Well, some people cared once the Rihanna photo hit the news and a few touts were rounded up. They are probably back again now. I don't know, I have been to Soi Bangla once in the last 2 years. Oh and she Tweeted about a s3x show too. Really? They exist? Well I never! I am sure that was news to the local police! Anyways, while she was here, Rihanna shot a video, though it was all indoors and you can't see any of Phuket. The song is OK actually, and it was made in Phuket. So, what now, Phuket?
We Love Phuket - Hope to see you in Phuket soon!

Patriarchs Were Rich
"And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold."
(Genesis 13:2 KJV)
"And he said, I am Abraham's servant. And the Lord hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses."
(Genesis 24:34-35 KJV)
"In Israel, the measure of a person's wealth consisted mostly of flocks, herds and slaves." From, "Acquiring Wealth in the Ancient Near East," by Claude F. Mariottini for the Biblical Illustrator, Summer 2013 edition, page 12. Our Awesome God didn't provide minted coins or printed currency. Riches weren't measured in dollars or rubles but were measured by what they owned. "Abraham was a rich man because he had many 'sheep and cattle, silver and gold, male and female slaves, and camels and donkeys.' (Genesis 24:35 NASB). Esau took his cattle and livestock and moved away from his brother Jacob because their wealth was too great for them to live together (Genesis 36:6-8 NASB). Job had seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred donkeys, and many servants (Job 1:3 KJV).
"To preserve and protect their wealth, people needed a large retinue. Job had 'a very large number of servants' (Job 1:3 NASB). Abraham had 318 men born in his house (Genesis 14:14 NASB). These men, who probably were free-born servants and slaves working for Abraham. had fathers and mothers, wives and children. Thus Abraham's retinue possibly numbered more than one thousand people..." Excerpted from ibid.
So the patriarchs had riches but owned no land. Our Awesome God had promised He would give their descendants the rich and fertile land of Canaan for the large herds and flocks He would also give them. Two hundred fifty years later, these people were ready to settle down and serve God. But after they got their land, they never became, as He wanted, His priests for the world of unbelievers.
In America, we are all rich by the world's standards. If we are Christians why aren't we doing more to tell the world about Our Awesome God? We should be telling other nations and each other about our God, not doing less to further His Kingdom every year. Our spiritual and financial riches become less every year and we too may disappear as Israel did from 70 AD until 1948 AD. Our purpose is to tell the world about Jesus Christ's salvation.
Join us at Living Word Baptist Church as we pray and worship Him this Sunday at 9:30 AM for Bible Study and 10:30 AM for worship Service. Sunday evening at 6:00 PM, we meet for Bible Study along with children's AWANA clubs which go until 7:30 PM. On Wednesdays, we meet at 7:00 PM for Prayer Requests and Bible Study. We love children!

Revolving around sales, maintenance and repairs, the economic activities relating to automobile and motor vehicle services are unquestionably vital to the Quebec economy.
There are thousands of jobs linked to this sector throughout Quebec, all of them within companies where services are generally divided into five different types: sales, after-sales, parts, bodywork and general administration. These services can vary from one company to the next.
Sales and after-sales services are strategic sectors. Several types of jobs are essential to the smooth running of these services including secretaries, claims officers and technical advisors. This is also the case for sales consultants and commercial account managers. These people are, each in their own way, a direct link with customers.
Parts and bodywork services are essential in ensuring the profitability of a company's operations and support the activities of the sales and after-sales services. The warehouse clerk, delivery agent, foreman, parts clerk, body repairer and painter all work in these services.
Most businesses also employ several people who are responsible for making sure that their services are properly managed. The general administration department includes, among other people, the accounting staff, human resources manager, marketing consultant and general manager and all these career opportunities require varying degrees of specialized knowledge.

Ashley and Jared got married this past July, with a summer wedding in the woods at Monte Sano State Park in Huntsville, Alabama (which is very close to my heart since my husband and I had a state park wedding!).
The bride wanted to stick with browns, tans, and ivories. With a very vintage-esc lace ivory wedding gown, ivory stacked cupcakes, and the texture of wood and browns in the little cabins where they said their "I do"s, the invitation was a preview of the day to come!
Her suite included: Invitation, Envelope, Directional Cards, and a few folded Seating Cards.
For the invitation we went with an ivory linen paper with dark brown text. A lace band was added as a special touch.
Ashley actually picked out the tree (which was a stamp she liked!… cute) that is seen on the back of the envelope. I repeated branches from the tree throughout the suite. She was going to use the same stamp on different pieces for her wedding. Such a great idea for consistency and a personal touch!
Directional Cards were included with the invitations to ensure guests arrive with ease.
A few folded Name Cards for "Bride," "Groom," "Family," and "Wedding Party" were done with the same ivory linen paper.
I hope Ashley's wedding was everything she ever dreamed of, and I wish her and Jared many, many happy years of wedded bliss!

The automotive industry is certainly one where money talks, although when it comes to the wheels most car enthusiasts are more inclined to invest. This is probably what separates the typical driver from the car fanatic; with the latter almost always opting for alloy wheels.
While most of these drivers do this from an aesthetics perspective, it won't come as any surprise to hear that these metal components do bring performance advantages as well.
When they were initially developed, magnesium was the metal of choice. Now, the industry has progressed to focus solely on aluminum and unless you deal in classic cars, it's rare you'll spot any vehicle fitted with ones of the magnesium variety.
How exactly did this happen? During the early days of alloy wheels, magnesium was the only metal utilized. They were immensely popular during the 1960s, but in some ways they became a victim of their own success. They were a die-cast wheel although as more and more vehicles started to take advantage of them, their frailties started to become more obvious.
However, we'll first revert to just why these wheels were used by manufacturers. They are incredibly light, even when compared against aluminum, which prompts some huge advantages from a speed and efficiency point of view. They also happen to manage heat a lot better and this meant that there were no problems of the breaks overheating – which can sometimes happen if you use alloys of a different material. Let's also not forget the aesthetics – magnesium has always looked great, although it took a few years before people realized that these enhanced looks came at a price, as we'll now get into.
Cracks soon began to show with magnesium – and this doesn't necessarily revolve around a figure of speech. Over time, many "mag wheels" started to crack and corrode, even though they had been fitted to some cars just several months ago. The fact that it didn't react well to moisture just compounded the problem and in the end, these alloys required far too much maintenance. Finally, it also happens to be one of those materials that is hugely difficult to extinguish if it does set alight, meaning that manufacturers decided that it wasn't suited to modern day cars.
In its place has come aluminum. Some would suggest that this doesn't look quite as sleek on the eye, although advancements in technology mean that this is always being improved.
This is a material which does cost more, but also offers considerably more durability. Aluminum alloy wheels are much stronger than their magnesium alternatives, although this has only arrived following years of work. Initially, when magnesium alloys were first used, aluminum performed even worse.
Even though aluminum is the most widely used material when it comes to modern day cars, don't think that magnesium has been completely discarded. It's not been unheard of for some alloys to be formed of both metals, as manufacturers attempt to maximize the benefits from each option. However, from a general point of view, aluminum has won this battle hands-down.

Skift Take
There are huge opportunities for growth in the Indian market, but few foreign airlines have the financial fortitude to take on an ailing airline like Kingfisher, which had pushed for the ban's removal.
There has been all-round cheer on the government's decision to allow foreign airlines to invest up to 49 percent in Indian carriers this evening. Today's move reversed a 1997 decision which had barred foreign airlines from investing in Indian ones.
The 1997 decision, allegedly based on pressure from the domestic aviation lobby, had resulted in killing the proposed joint venture between Singapore Airlines and the Tata group. After that fiasco, the Tatas never managed to enter the aviation business again.
So, in a sense, the lifting of this ban on foreign airlines entering the domestic sector is a good move.

Music in the Silent Night
One of the most glorious messes in the world is the mess created in the living room on Christmas day. Don't clean it up too quickly..
by Andy Rooney
Joyeux Noël / Merry Christmas
I'm wishing you blessings and joy this Christmas. What can be better than opening presents, eating food and singing Christmas music? Doing all those things with family like you.
I am so happy to call you a precious member of our family and Ruri, Hotaru Kazan, Haru, Yuki and I, cherish spending time with you.
Have a gentle Christmas, and may all the sweet magic of Christmas conspire to gladden your heart and fill your every desire.
Joyeux Noël, Nika xxx
So here's my Christmas gift to you. We all picked a piece, well… except Hotaru because he is too far away. Yuki even got two, because he is spoiled, and frankly he is way too cute to be refused a favour by any of us. I recorded these for you with my classical violin, because Haru is still missing. I miss his touch though… and I am awaiting for our fated reunion.
01 – Hark! The herald angels sing (Kazan)
02 – Greensleeves (Haru)
03 – Silent Night (Ruri)
04 – O Holy Night (Nika)
05 – Deck the Hall / Joy to the World (Yuki)
P.S. You can download these pieces for FREE just below 😉
Remember, if Christmas isn't found in your heart, you won't find it under a tree.

Not counting the first 8 years (blame those on my parents - when I could think rationally I did), I have been a life-long atheist. I put that right in my profile ALWAYS. So why is it almost every message I get is from someone who claims to be an xtian? I understand it from the people who just message me with a "hi" or a "let's hook up" (they can't read big words), but from people who have an otherwise nice and interesting profile or people who obviosly read mine thoroughly..I just don't get it.
If your profile says "Christian and quite serious about it" why would you try to date an "atheist and quite serious about it"?
Do they really think they could convert me this late in the game?
Xtians make no sense to me..

Plenty Of Fish is free, and not deceptive. (OK Cupid was legit at one time as well, but has been purchased by Match so I would not trust it any more).
I got a lot of dates off of OK Cupid, and it was where I met the love of my live a year an a half ago.
I'd say it is atypical for people with a belief in wicca/palm reading/psychics, etc to NOT be scatterbrained. Every person I've met who participated in these particular subcultures was flaky in a way which made them unsuitable for dating. Stay away from them.
Rough or painful sex wouldn't exist if circumcision didn't exist. Circumcision is a symptom of a larger problem, the fact that religion hates sex and sex appeal. As Derel Ray explains and as I knew but hadn't thought about enough before, religious people (like my family) get really embarrassed at the mere mention of sex or body parts. They have to refer to sex with silly euphemisms such as marital relations. All my mother could say was that in order to have a kid a man and woman "get together" so I imagined my parents standing with their backs to the refregerator with a foot betwen them and barely looking at each other, then in public school sex education in 9th grade I was quite uncomfortable and thought the topic should not be discussed. But this is how religion viruses often make people think.
Rough or painful sex has nothing to do with circumcision.
Michael, you really need to let this particular topic rest for a while, on the forum and certainly in you dating life. It is, for you, an obsession far out of proportion that is poisoning your social life.

Cummins has a depressed multiple problem from electrification risk, global scale in reciprocating engines, no clear way to buy new technology to dominate electrification, and an unlevered balance sheet that could readily fund $5bn in debt, perhaps more without substantial equity. GE has a stated desire to simplify its businesses, is under scale in recip engines, wants to divest transportation, and is likely ready to move quickly. Cummins shares could see 10-15% upside as capital is deployed and more if the diversification of the business reduces fears on the multiple.

Information in this article may not be canonical to the storyline of the games or any other Sonic continuity.
The Penguinator is a character that appears in the Sonic the Comic series published by Fleetway Editions. It is a mass-produced, penguin-based Badnik model created by Dr. Ivo Robotnik that was stationed in the Ice Cap Zone.[1]
Having been brought to the Ice Cap Zone by Dr. Ivo Robotnik, the Penguinators were mobilized for a surprise invasion of the Hill Top Zone on Christmas day using gateways made by Robotnik's Inter-Zone technology. There, the Freedom Fighters kept the Penguinators at bay while Sonic went to the Ice Cap Zone and destroyed the Inter-Zone technology with Knuckles' aid, the two blasting through more Penguinator guards in the process.[1][2]
Over time, Penguinators who failed to stop Sonic were melted down to be repurposed.[3]
Powers and abilities
Unlike their organic template, the Penguinators are capable of flight.[1]
- The Penguinator are based on the enemy that debuted in Sonic the Hedgehog 3.

Canada introduces new economic sanctions against Russia
Canada has announced fresh economic sanctions on three Russian individuals as well as 14 legal entities over what it calls Moscow's support for militia forces in eastern Ukraine.
The latest sanctions target Russian energy giants Gazprom and Gazprom Neft, as well as state-owned oil and gas company Surgutneftegaz, and oil pipeline company Transneft.
Alexander Dugin, Pavel Kanishchev and Andrei Kovalenko, who are leaders of the Eurasian Youth Union political organization, have also been hit with travel bans.
The Conservative Canadian government also introduced a ban on the import and export of commodities from Crimea, a strategic peninsula jutting into the Black Sea.
Crimea declared independence from Ukraine on March 17 and formally applied to become part of Russia following a referendum a day earlier, in which 96.8 percent of participants voted in favor of autonomy. The voter turnout in the referendum stood at 83.1 percent.
The move sparked angry reactions from the US and the European Union, both imposing "punitive measures," including travel bans and asset freezes, against a number of Russian officials as well as authorities in Crimea
