God gave the ten commandments to Moses written in two stone tablets to be delivered to the Israelites to be observed throughout all generations. They were to keep them perpetually and they would be blessed. When they forsook the commandments of God during the Old Testament Times, God allowed the Assyrians and the Babylonians to capture and destroy Israel when the Israelites sinned against the Ten Commandments.
Written below are five of the Ten Commandments. Israel was under Roman domination during the time of Jesus. Seventy years after the death of Jesus, Jerusalem was completely destroyed. God kept His promise to Abraham and He remembered the Covenant He made with Abraham. For 2000 years Israel was non existent. Such was the result of the anger of God over Israel's sinning, and it was not until 1948 that Israel was declared to be a nation again.
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS (Exodus 20:1-5)
1. And God spake all these words, saying,
2. I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath or that is in the earth:
5. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, or serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me.
God detests sins and all unrighteousness and forbids His chosen people not to follow them or their customs less they incur His wrath. The Israelites incurred the anger of the Lord in the Old Testament twice by God allowing their enemies to defeat them. They were defeated twice, once by the Assyrians and the second time by the Babylonians, who brought the captive Israelites to Babylon. After seventy years of captivity, King Cyrus allowed the Israelites to return to Israel. 50,000 Israelites returned to rebuild the temple of Jerusalem under Jerubabbel.
At the time of Jesus living on earth, the Romans were in control of Israel, but 70 years later, Jerusalem was again sacked. Jerusalem was no more for 2,000 years until ater the Second World War when she was resurrected as a nation of Israel in 1948.
What is the TRUE Origin of Valentine's Day?
What is the TRUE Origin of Valentine's Day?
The Silence of Educators
Teachers are all too often silent about the origin of the customs they are forced to teach in today's schools! If they were to speak out, many would lose their jobs! Isn't it time we examined why we encourage our children to celebrate St. Valentine's Day - when it is never mentioned in the Bible as a practice of the New Testament Church?
Today, candy makers unload tons of heart-shaped red boxes for February 14, while millions of the younger set are annually exchanging valentines. Florists, consider February 14 - St. Valentine Day - as one of their best business days. And young lovers pair off - at least for a dance or two - at St. Valentine's balls. WHY? Where did these customs originate? Where do we find any such practices in the Bible? How did we come to inherit these customs?
A Christian Custom?
Did you know that centuries before Christ, the pagan Romans celebrated February 15 and the evening of February 14 as an idolatrous and sensuous festivals in honour of Lupercus, the "hunter of of wolves"?
The Romans called the festival the Lupercalia. The custom of exchanging valentines and all the other traditions in honour of Lupercus ... It is merely a rebirth of an old custom "handed down from the Roman festival of the Lupercalia, celebrated in the month of February, when names of young women were put in a box and drawn out by men as chance directed." That's the admission of the Encyclopedia Americana article entitled St. Valentine's Day."
Isn't it ridiculous that women's names are drawn out of a box and men can have whoever draws out the name of any girl. It can be called "Chance Encounter." It is worst than those of a blind date.
"While some believe that Valentine's Day is celebrated in the middle of February to commemorate the anniversary of Valentine's death or burial — which probably occurred around 270 A.D — others claim that the Christian church may have decided to celebrate Valentine's feast day in the middle of February in an effort to 'christianize' celebrations of the pagan Lupercalia festival. In ancient Rome, February was the official beginning of spring and was considered a time for purification. Houses were ritually cleansed by sweeping them out and then sprinkling salt and a type of wheat called spelt throughout their interiors. Lupercalia, which began at the ides of February, February 15, was a fertility festival dedicated to Faunus, the Roman god of agriculture, as well as to the Roman founders Romulus and Remus.
Today, the Catholic church recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred."
This confirmes that Valentine Day was a "christianized pagan celebration" of the heathen Lupercalia festival in ancient Rome and a fertility festival dedicated to Faunus, the Roman god of agriculture.
Besides this, the Catholic church recognises three different saints named Valentine who were martyred. The church cannot decide which is the true Valentine.
From Wikipedia, the free encycloped
Saint Valentine's Day (commonly shortened to Valentine's Day) is an annual holiday held on February 14 celebrating love and affection between intimate companions. The holiday is named after one or more early Christian martyrs named Valentine and was established by Pope Gelasius I in AD 496. It is traditionally a day on which lovers express their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards (known as "valentines"). The holiday first became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished.
Saint Valentine
For more details on this topic, see Saint Valentine. Numerous early Christian martyrs were named Valentine The Valentines honored on February 14 are Valentine of Rome (Valentinus presb. m. Romae) and Valentine of Terni (Valentinus ep. Interamnensis m. Romae) Valentine of Rome was a priest in Rome who was martyred about AD 269 and was buried on the Via Flaminia. His relics are at the Church of Saint Praxed in Rome and at Whitefriar Street Carmelite Church in Dublin, Ireland. Valentine of Tern became bishop of Interamna (modern Terni) about AD 197 and is said to have been martyred during the persecution under Emperor Aurelian. He is also buried on the Via Flaminia, but in a different location than Valentine of Rome. His relics are at the Basilica of Saint Valentine in Terni (Basilica di San Valentino). The Catholic Encyclopedia also speaks of a third saint named Valentine who was mentioned in early martyrologies under date of February 14. He was martyred in Africa with a number of companions, but nothing more is known about him.. No romantic elements are present in the original early medieval biographies of either of these martyrs. By the time a Saint Valentine became linked to romance in the fourteenth century, distinctions between Valentine of Rome and Valentine of Terni were utterly lost.
Main article: Lupercalia Though popular modern sources link unspecified Greco-Roman February holidays alleged to be devoted to fertility and love to St Valentine's Day, Professor Jack Oruch of the University of Kansas argued that prior to Chaucer, no links between the Saints named Valentinus and romantic love existed.
Earlier links as described above were focused on sacrifice rather than romantic love. In the ancient Athenian calendar the period between mid-January and mid-February was the month of Gamelion, dedicated to the sacred marriage of Zeus and Hera. In Ancient Rome, Lupercalia, observed February 13 through 15, was an archaic rite connected to fertility. Lupercalia was a festival local to the city of Rome. The more general Festival of Juno Februa, meaning "Juno the purifier "or "the chaste Juno," was celebrated on February 13–14. Pope Gelasius I (492–496) abolished Lupercalia. It is a common opinion that the Christian church may have decided to celebrate Valentine's feast day in the middle of February in an effort to Christianize celebrations of the pagan Lupercalia, and that a commemorative feast was established in 496 by Pope Gelasius I, of those "... whose names are justly reverenced among men, but whose acts are known only to God," among whom was Valentine, was set for the useful day.
Alternatively, William M. Green argues that the Catholic Church could not abolish the deeply rooted Lupercalia festival, so the church set aside a day to honor the Virgin Mary
Professor Oruch of the University of Kansas argued that prior to Chaucer, no links between the Saints named Valentinus and romantic love existed. So, where does "love" comes in Valentine Day?
" Alternatively, William M. Green argues that the Catholic Church could not abolish the deeply rooted Lupercalia festival, so the church set aside a day to honor the Virgin Mary...
Since the church could not abolish Valentine Day, the church conveniently set aside a day to honor the Virgin Mary.
Like many holidays, Valentines Day is a day of symbols. Walking around in the first few weeks of February, you can't turn a corner without seeing a red rose. The rose was sacred to Venus who is the Goddess of Love. Another popular symbol of the day are birds, particularly doves and lovebirds. These are two birds which mate for life and it was once believed that they choose their mate in the middle of February. Of course no Valentines Day would be complete without a multitude of hearts. It was once believed that the heart was the center of all emotion. People believed that when they gave a heart, they were truly giving all of the love and emotion that they possibly could give. In the Middle Ages men would pull a woman's name out of a bowl. This would be the man's Valentine. To show his devotion, the man would wear the paper containing the woman's name on his sleeve for a week. This soon became known as "˜wearing your heart on your sleeve'. And Valentines Day wouldn't be the same without a visit from Cupid, the winged cherub with a bow and arrow which he uses to place people into love. The origins of Cupid can be traced back to the days of the Roman Empire. Cupid is a Roman God, the symbol of passionate love. (He is the son of Venus, who remember is the Goddess of Love.) Cupid fell madly and completely in love with Psyche, whom it happened was a mortal. This did not please Venus at all and she gave Psyche a particularly hard time, consistently tempting her and driving her off. Eventually, through a small series of human faults, Psyche was tempted to look into the "˜box of beauty' and when she did, she unleashed a deep slumber onto herself. Cupid then came to Earth and searched the world for her. He found her in her deep sleep. His love for her was so strong though that he was able to take the sleep from her and place it back into the box. Then he used an arrow to pierce her heart and awaken her.
Besides giving cards, candy and kisses there are some other interesting customs (both current and past) associated with Valentines Day. For instance, in England children take to the street, singing songs and passing out cards. In Denmark people give out pressed white flowers as a sign of their affection. In the 1700's, English women would write the names of men on small pieces of paper and then roll the paper up inside little balls of clay. They threw the balls into the water and the first paper that popped to the surface was the one with the name of the woman's true love. A popular belief is that if a woman goes to a graveyard and runs around reciting a certain chant, she will see an image of her true love. A similar idea held over from years past is that on Valentines Day a woman is to sit by her window. The first available man that walks by is the one who is destined to marry her.
Cupid is a Roman God and supposed to be the son of Venus, the Goddess of Love. Cupid fell in love with a mortal named Psyche. She was tempted to look into the 'box of beauty' and fell into a very deep sleep. Cupid used an arrow to pierce her heart and awaken her.
This is pure romantic fable and has no part in Christian worship of the Lord God. Christians are to worship the Lord God and love all human beings as themselves. The love Christians show is AGAPE LOVE, NOT ROMANTIC LOVE.
The lovers' holiday traces its roots to raucous annual Roman festivals where men stripped naked, grabbed goat- or dog-skin whips, and spanks young maidens in hopes of increasing their fertility, said classics professor Noel Lenski of the Univerity of Colorado at Boulder.
It is very difficult to change a very popular perception of the population of the world. It is like hitting your foot against a stone wall. In the middle of writing of this hub, my right toe hit the metal door of the emergency door to the staircase of the condo. As a result, I had used Chinese plaster and a topical Corticosteroid cream to ease the pain. Blisters on the right shin appeared. I could not walk and my brother in law bought me a walker. My family doctor had never seen such blisters before and thought that I might have broken my ankle and advised that I should go to the nearest hospital, I went to Mt. Sinai Hospital Emergency Hospital and the doctor said she had never seen such blisters before. Another doctor was consulted. I shall be seeing a dermatologist shortly.
I am aware I am writing a very controversial topic and there were interruptions. I am on pain killers and praying to God to help me in my pain. GOD did help me and I am grateful for that.
In the article which I quoted from BibleStudy.com, the url could not be used, and so I erased it. The article can be copied, but it will not paste. I had to write the article by long hand and then type it.
It is no coincidence that I hit my foot against a steel metal door. My doctor could not diagnose the blisters on the shin and also the doctors at Mt. Sinai Hospital. Whatever happens, I need to complete the article and have it published. Hopefully, some Christians eyes will open when they see that pagan Valentine's Day was christianized. It is hard to resist the tale spun about Cupid and love, chocolates and roses. The images are so alluring and romantic. Many cannot resist the temptation and fall into the hands of the evil one. Can you resist? Christians are supposed to avoid any dealings with pagan rituals or anything that has pagan origins. God be with those who are willing to forsake them. God be with you!

Excellent study on the history and pagan roots of Valentines Day. Thank you.
Fascinating history and commentary. Thank you
einron, the Catholic Church's favorite means of adoption was actually assimilation. They thought they could make what was pagan into that which was holy simply by changing the names of the practices and allowing the traditions to persist. They didn't work to lead people away from their sins, merely gave them new names by which to sin. Good and informitive hub. Peace.
Also, about valentines day... the biblical/scriptural pattern about Love is that love first flows toward God and then that Love of God flows out toward others, only, after i learn to love God then can i love others. Valentines teaches of a phile? type of love that falls far short of the agape' love that God has and shares. The fact that two people pick their mates (not for life) is unscriptural. In short this is perhaps catholicisms way of depaganizing a 'festive day' but it is still far short of anything scriptural and best to be ignored altogether. Nice post thanks for the info :0)
When Constantine did away with the feast celebrations of the bible and appointed times of God, it stripped the Christians of the roots and truth of their faith. Last year I did a feast of tabernacles as part of teaching series I was doing on 'A God of Order' and it was amazing the feeling of tabernacling with God and discernment of the engathering, as Jesus will fulfill this festival with His return. It is amazing how we loose our desire for pagan holidays when we learn the history and roots of them. Thank you for sharing these truths.
Thanks for explanation for many.
Most common sin in Christianity is idolatry.

Bye bye Fabricio
I always pull the miller brothers.
+1 I hope Dan comes back soon
Interesting pairing. I guess the UFC is throwing Jim a bone after the murderers row of opponents he's had over the last few years.
Jim is my #2 favorite fighter behind Frankie, so I'm kinda biased, but I think Jim murderfucks Camoes here.
The latest UFC 168 card now includes:
Champ Chris Weidman vs. Anderson Silva - for UFC middleweight title
Champ Ronda Rousey vs. Miesha Tate - for women's bantamweight title
Josh Barnett vs. Travis Browne
Diego Brandao vs. Dustin Poirier
Fabricio Camoes vs. Jim Miller
Uriah Hall vs. Chris Leben
Michael Johnson vs. Gleison Tibau
Manny Gamburyan vs. Dennis Siver

* Euro shakes off low inflation data
* Dollar index down after 3 days of gains (Recasts, adds quotes, updates prices, changes byline, dateline, previous LONDON)
By Michael Connor
NEW YORK, March 31 (Reuters) - The euro rose to a three-week high against the yen and firmed against the dollar despite softer-than-forecast inflation numbers that sapped hopes the European Central Bank will cut rates when it meets this week.
After three days of gains, the U.S. dollar index of major currencies was off 0.18 percent to 80.148 in late morning New York trade.
The euro, which was ahead 0.85 percent against the yen at 142.08 yen, was also up against the dollar at$1.3778 for a gain on the day against the greenback of 0.20 percent.
The shared currency was also up 0.21 percent against the British pound at 0.8282 euro on trading driven by speculation that euro zone inflation will not be soft enough to spur more monetary easing by the ECB.
Europe's central bankers worry that a euro now approaching a $1.40 level not seen since 2011 would aggravate deflationary forces and hurt economic recovery.
"It will take action by the ECB for the euro to decline," said Joe Manimbo, senior market analyst at Western Union Business Solutions in Washington. "Investors want actions."
Dealers in Europe said new bets for a weaker yen against the dollar and euro have been placed since players squared up for the end of the Japanese trading year on Thursday.
The prospect of more steps to ease monetary policy in Japan later this year at a time when U.S. officials are reining in their own money-printing argues for a stronger dollar.
"I heard on Friday that there was a chunk of U.S. money going into structures on the topside (for the dollar) and the dollar has been grinding higher since then," said Graham Davidson, a spot dealer at NAB in London.
"That has been helped by U.S. yields going a bit higher and Bunds have done the same."
Structures in market jargon refers to options betting on a move one way or another in a currency. CFTC data on positioning showed speculative bets against the yen had fallen off ahead of the last trades in the financial year in Japan ending on Monday.
The market also now looks doubtful about any action by the ECB to ease policy further this week.
Data on Monday showed inflation sank to just 0.5 percent in March but, as Bundesbank chief Jens Weidmann underlined on Saturday, much of the fall has been due to one-off drops in energy and food prices over which the ECB has little control.
The common currency continues to be supported by a return of cash to bond markets in the euro area's southern half as well as Germany's huge current account surplus, helping it to buck forecasts of a stronger dollar this year.
"The euro got trashed around the inflation numbers but then came roaring back," Davidson said.
"I think the market has probably priced in the story on the fall in inflation. The bottom line is that the economy is recovering and my hunch would be that the bank does nothing." (Additional reporting by Patrick Graham in London; Editing by James Dalgleish)

I may have painted myself into a bit of a corner here with the last couple of articles in this series. I think some people are starting to believe that I'm strictly a fan of games that are 'artistic' or broke the trend in terms of deviating from whatever was going on in the industry at the time. With titles like Mirror's Edge being so distinctive from everything else at the time, and Kane and Lynch's unique brand of multiplayer and story-telling, this week's article may feel a little bit less 'hipster/indie' of me, but allow me an opportunity to discuss why you should care about Army of Two.
In lieu of the announcement that Cryptic Studios' Star Trek Online is going free-to-play, it's becoming more of a solid investment for companies to adopt a micro-purchase model. Champions Online, Dungeons and Dragons Online and even City of Heroes have all made the change and reported big increases in sales.
Continuing on in the vein of "exorcising the demons past" this week I wanted to talk about another older game that caught my attention back-when and I still talk about to this day. This title was a little less controversial, there was no big drama behind it, no tabloid style front-page debacle, just a game that tried to do something a bit different and then quietly faded into the background. For the last couple of years there have been rumors of a sequel floating around the internet, and this week has it all but officially confirmed.
August 23rd, 1991 - Nintendo releases the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in North America. Children all around had their first taste of Super Mario World, and the angels rejoiced. And it was good.
You know what? I'm really quite starting to enjoy this little segment. It might have been conceived on a whim, but it's turning out to be a rather good little soap-box that allows me to vent my heart-felt opinions on some games that I'm personally invested in. And now that I've pretty much exhausted (for the time being) the bulk of my up-and-coming loves of the gaming industry, it seems an opportune moment to exercise some demons of gaming past.
I am going to give you a dramatic reveal: I am a Pokémon freak. I am in my mid-20s, and I own every single version of the North American releases. I buy the new generations, I beat the Champions, and God help me I trade with eight-year-olds over the Internet.
Looking back at 2011, it feels to me that it's been a rather flat year so far for releases. The hugest news for the year was supposed to be Duke Nukem Forever, and we all saw the fizzle of that release. There were certainly good titles released this year, but it seemed a lot like the waiting times between them were vast. For me personally, anticipated releases saw an average three-month waiting period which is an incredibly long time when you're waiting for the next one to come out.
Remember how I said that I'd try and feature some indie titles, maybe some older games, and potentially some newer games, from time to time, in this new series called "Why You Should Care"? Well… here's the thing, I do fully intend on that being the case, but I'm going to have to jump out the gate here by playing a little catch-up on some titles that I have a personal interest in that are still on the horizon. Chapter 2 of the continuing saga: RAGE.
There still seems to be a lot of hurt feelings out there as far as the Mega Man Legends 3 cancellation goes. I've been watching these groups on Facebook pop up ever since the announcement, rallying people together to convince Capcom to release it. While the heart behind the movement is there, I am going to share some thoughts on why the game, at least at this time, is just not feasible.
I know I'm not the only one who misses the arcade scene. I loved getting my buddies together on a weekend, pumping quarters into our favourite machines and trying to beat high scores over the din of the room. With a lot of talk going around about gaming as a social activity shape-shifting drastically, I fondly remember those arcade days.

Llama Wanders Around Offaly - And Then Disappears
A llama was spotted wandering the roads of Offaly on Monday morning.
The animal was reported by James Hayden near the village of Rahan. He tweeted a picture of it to AA Roadwatch

This has not been a productive year. {Erases lists of ways I have not been a productive crafter or blogger.} I can be kind to myself and not spell out for the world all my negative thoughts about me.
Instead, I can choose to think about the fun time we spent today at a local river beach celebrating a family birthday.
Tonight we've had a quiet evening at home, but I've made an investment for the new year - a new pattern. Tomorrow awaits.

When the PERM Rule became effective in March 2005, the rules for labor certification changed drastically. The idea of the makeover was to create an electronic process (hence, Process Electronic Review Management called PERM) that would enable DOL to issue decisions electronically in record time. Indeed, the first few cases were subjected to a computer check to see if all the boxes were filled in, and some cases were decided in one day.
DOL also announced in the rule itself that there would be Zero tolerance for errors, including typographical mistakes, and that the doctrine of harmless error, which was permitted by the pre-PERM regulations, would no longer apply. DOL felt that if the employer could fill out the form one time in such a way that additional review would not be necessary, the application could be approved or denied instantaneously.
Prior to the introduction of the PERM rule, the DOL had engaged in a tug of war for each application. It started with the filing at the local SWA. Those agencies would make comments and determinations which required employers to respond within 45 days. After the SWA completed its work (sometimes taking five years or more), the applications would then be reviewed in the federal office by the Certifying Officer who was required to issue a Notice of Findings to the Employer if any additional defects were found.
Zero tolerance had a plus side -- applications could be approved or denied very quickly -- a distinct advantage to everyone. However, the PERM forms and the electronic system had many bugs and deficiencies ranging from inconsistencies on the computerized forms to inadequate instructions for users.
The first BALCA decision upheld the strict nature of the rule, stating that a Zero tolerance policy was not per se illegal or improper, however, BALCA advised that if Zero tolerance would be applied, the forms and instructions would have to be in optimal condition that would adequately warn and assist users to avoid the danger of an unexpected denial based on some kind of electronic rather than substantive error.
The PERM form has since been redesigned and should be available soon, although the proposed date has been extended since it was first published in the federal register.
One such error involves the placement of the Magic Language on the form. The Employer must state that it will accept any suitable combination of education, experience or training if the alien is working for the employer and qualifies for the position because of alternate requirements on the form. However, since there is no mention of the Magic Language on the form, or any instruction to that effect, the new form contains a special box to address that issue.
With the passing of time, BALCA has been forced to permit remands and reconsideration of issues that are prohibited by the regulations in order to prevent unfair results. The original BALCA point of view was enunciated in the Health America Decision in 2006. It states that Zero policy is OK, but only if fairly administered.
Now with the new changes on the PERM form, employers have more leeway to request reconsideration of non-substantive errors, if they were the fault of DOL. Determining the fault is not easy. One could take the point of view that employers should be held responsible to know the PERM rule, even if each part of the rule is not placed on Form 9089 as a warning.
On the other hand, the Office of Management and Budgets has approved Form 9089 to take 1 1/4 hours to process, fill out and file. In that short time no employer could be expected to learn the PERM rule. The most that could be expected is that Employers carefully read the instructions on the form.
These ambiguities will be mostly reviewed by the introduction of the new PERM Form 9089, but there will undoubtedly be continued doubt about some questions and issues that will plague PERM stakeholders for some time.
Although PERM is the rule of the future, and harmless error is specifically prohibited in the rule, BALCA has gone back to the future in its review of zero tolerance issues.

In Memoriam: Robin Williams (1951-2014)
Last night, when news broke that Robin Williams was found dead in his California home of an apparent suicide, I was in my comedy writing class at the Second City Training Centre here in Toronto. I was surrounded by aspiring comedians and industry professionals, all of whom credit Williams as one of their inspirations. In the moment we found out, we were collectively silenced into a state of shock. True, we all knew that Williams fought personal demons and alcohol addiction for the better part of his life. He gave revealing interviews about his experiences, discussing how he turned it into comedic fodder to help ease the pain. However, this knowledge does not lessen the blow of his loss.
The Chicago-born Williams was a Second City alumni, and went on to a career in TV and film that spanned more than 40 years. His is a familiar face to multiple generations of fans, whether you grew up in the 1970s watching Mork & Mindy or reenacted your favourite scenes from Hook or Mrs. Doubtfire. He was the rare comedian who could make us both laugh and cry—often within the same film. His dramatic roles are just as memorable as his manic, unabashed comedic work.
When it comes to the death of a celebrity, people on social media often break off into two camps: those who lament the person's passing and those who shrug it off and express their distaste that so much ink is spilled over a wealthy public figure. For every lovely tribute, there are people who try to brush it off and make a point of stating that people die around the world, every minute. And I get that. I really understand both sides of that coin. But sometimes, it's just OK to feel sad when a treasured face from your childhood is suddenly, abruptly, cruelly gone. As of yet, I have not seen any negative posts with regards to the death of Williams—and I believe this speaks volumes about how much he was universally loved by us all. Social media, for once, has banded together and created a wealth of memes, GIFs and collections of quotes and film clips for fans of the late actor to sift through. For this I'm grateful, because it's like a trip down memory lane. I, for one, can't remember a time in my life when Williams wasn't around, making me laugh in my favourite films.
He taught me many life lessons through his film roles, specifically those in the 1990s. I learned that every family was different but this didn't make them any less of a cohesive unit (Mrs. Doubtfire), I learned that imagination and believing in the good that this world can offer goes a long way (Hook), I learned that laughter really is the best medicine (Patch Adams), I learned what it means to be a loyal friend (Aladdin), and I learned the significance of expanding ones mind through literature and open discussion (Dead Poets Society). But it was his Oscar-winning performance in Good Will Hunting that really cemented his status as a talented performer. He had the unmatched ability to make even life's smallest moments stand out as something to be remembered and celebrated. I recall, specifically, the "park bench" scene where Williams sits down with Matt Damon and talks about his deceased wife. It's a genuinely touching moment, punctuated by little offhand comments from Williams that make this unseen character of his wife come alive for the audience. You felt like he was talking about a real person.
As one of my friend's eloquently put it on Facebook: "(Williams) is an actor whom I would have felt comfortable physically embracing, as a familiar relative, if I had had the chance. Such was the effect of his career, and his person."
Williams was man who comforted all of us with humour, but was a tortured soul on the inside. That he made us laugh, yet couldn't do the same for himself, is the real tragedy. I will forever associate him with my childhood, times spent laughing along at his wild antics. So, thank you, Robin, for being a familiar and constant source of comfort and joy to me for 30 years. May you rest easy now.
Ed. note: Depression is a serious mental illness and a powerful enemy that affects even the most successful and loved among us. If you are suffering from depression please reach out to your local suicide hotline. If you know someone who is suffering from depression, speak up and offer a hand.

JERUSALEM (AP) — The Israeli military says troops have demolished the home of the family of a Palestinian who stabbed an Israeli teenage girl to death.
It says the home of 17-year-old Mohammed Tarayreh's family in the West Bank town of Bani Naim near Hebron was demolished early Monday.
Tarayreh stabbed 13-year-old Hallel Yaffa Ariel to death while she slept in her bed in the nearby Kiryat Arba settlement in late June. Tarayreh was killed at the scene.
It was one of the most brutal attacks in the nearly yearlong wave of Palestinian assaults that killed 34 Israelis. Ariel, a dual Israeli-American citizen, was the youngest victim. About 200 Palestinians have been killed, mostly attackers.
Israel says house demolitions are an effective deterrent against attacks. Critics counter the tactic amounts to collective punishment.

Spotify CEO Responds to Taylor Swift: Free Music Leads to Big Money
The music-streaming company defends its business model after losing the high-profile artist
In the wake of Big Machine Label Group pulling Taylor Swift's song catalog from Spotify, the CEO of the music-streaming company posted a blog entry on Tuesday asserting that a free business model contributed to $2 billion in payouts to music creators and distributors.
"There are at least three big misconceptions out there about how we work, how much we pay, and what we mean for the future of music and the artists who create it," wrote Spotify founder and CEO Daniel Ek in a blog post titled "$2 Billion and Counting."
The three "myths" are, as Ek outlined: "Free music for fans means artists don't get paid; Spotify pays, but it pays so little per play nobody could ever earn a living from it; and Spotify hurts sales, both download and physical."
Ek tackled each issue, calling Spotify a service similar to radio, where artists are paid competitively by the song, not the audience size.

Spotify's free service is meant to get listeners in the door with the expectation they eventually will upgrade to a paid premium option, Ek wrote. And that conversion has already amounted to Spotify paying out more than $2 billion to "labels, publishers and collecting societies for distribution to songwriters and recording artists."
As for the number of downloads trending downward, Ek pointed to the music market: "Downloads are dropping just as quickly in markets where Spotify doesn't exist."
Ek appealed for artists' understanding: "Our interests are totally aligned with yours. Even if you don't believe that's our goal, look at our business. Our whole business is to maximize the value of your music. We don't use music to drive sales of hardware or software. We use music to get people to pay for music. The more we grow, the more we'll pay you."

The Force.com Streaming API lets you expose a near real-time stream of data from the Force.com platform in a secure and scalable way. Administrators can create topics, to which applications can subscribe, receiving asynchronous notifications of changes to data in Force.com, via the Bayeux protocol.
This article explains the basics of the Streaming API and shows how to get started using it from Java client applications and Visualforce pages.
NOTE - you can also see a simple and quick demo by installing the Unmanaged Streaming API Demo package.
NOTE - this article has been updated for the Winter '12 release (API version 23.0). The Streaming API documentation contains a code sample that can be configured to work with both API version 23.0 and the previous release, 22.0).
The Force.com Streaming API uses a publish/subscribe model where administrators create one or more named topics, each of which is associated with a SOQL query. Applications may subscribe to one or more topics, using the Bayeux protocol. As relevant data is updated, the platform re-evaluates the query and, when a change occurs that alters the results of the query, the platform publishes a notification to subscribed applications.
The Streaming API is secure; client applications must provide a session ID (sid) in all interactions. This article will show you how to secure both JavaScript in a Visualforce page and Java application communication with the API.
If your application is currently polling the SOAP or REST API to detect changes, you should consider refactoring it to use the Streaming API; you will see better performance with lower resource consumption.
For technical documentation, and details on how to join the Streaming API Developer Preview, check out the Streaming API Resource Page.
For both samples, you'll need
For the Java application sample, you'll also need
This section walks you through a simple scenario of using the Streaming API. We begin with the basics - establishing a query and creating topics, and then show two client scenarios - one based on Java and another on Visualforce.
The first step in using the Streaming API is to define a SOQL query that will return the records you are interested in. For example, your application may require a notification whenever a new Account is created. A suitable query might be:
SELECT Id, Name FROM Account
Alternatively, you might only be interested in Accounts with more than 1,000 employees:
SELECT Id, Name FROM Account WHERE NumberOfEmployees > 1000
As a special case, you can specify a record id in the
WHERE clause and receive notifications whenever any change occurs on that record:
SELECT Id, Name FROM Account WHERE Id = '001x0000002JSofAAG'
These are just some simple examples - see the Streaming API documentation for a full discussion of Streaming API queries.
Once you have decided on your query, it's time to create a
PushTopic that binds a topic name to the query. You can set the following fields on the
PushTopic record:
|Field Name
|Required. API version to use for executing the query specified in Query.
|All records for the Account object.
|Optional. Description of what kinds of records are returned by the query.
|Required. Descriptive name of the PushTopic. The maximum length is 25 characters.
|SELECT Id, Name FROM Account
|Required. The SOQL query statement that determines which record changes trigger events to be sent to the channel. Maximum length is 400 characters.
There are also several system fields on
PushTopic such as
CreatedById and
As soon as you create a
PushTopic record, applications can subscribe to the topic.
Go ahead and create a topic now. Login to your Developer Edition environment, navigate to the System Log (Your Name > System Log), and paste the following code into the 'Execute Apex' area:
PushTopic pushTopic = new PushTopic(); pushTopic.ApiVersion = 23.0; pushTopic.Name = 'AllAccounts'; pushTopic.Description = 'All records for the Account object'; pushtopic.Query = 'SELECT Id, Name FROM Account'; insert pushTopic; System.debug('Created new PushTopic: '+ pushTopic.Id);
You should see the id of the new
PushTopic record in the log output. You don't need to keep a note of that id - you'll use the
Name - but it's a useful confirmation that you successfully created the record.
Now that you've created a topic, your applications can subscribe for updates. Currently, apps use the Bayeux protocol to make a connection to the Streaming API, subscribing to topics via the long-polling transport over HTTP. It's unlikely you'll need to code to the Bayeux protocol directly, though - the CometD project provides open source Java and JavaScript implementations; there are also other open source implementations available for a range of other languages including Ruby, PHP and Perl.
Now you can create an application that will receive notifications for your newly created topic. The simplest example is a Visualforce page, since the user will already have a session, and it is straightforward to pass the session ID as the
Authorization HTTP header.
The first step is to extract the CometD JavaScript library file. Download CometD, unpack the tarball, then:
$ cd cometd-2.2.0/cometd-javascript/common/target $ jar xvf cometd-javascript-common-2.2.0.war org/cometd.js
Next, upload the following files as static resources (Your Name > Setup > Develop > Static Resources > New):
|Resource Name
Now you have your resources in place, you can create a Visualforce page that will receive notifications. If you have not yet enabled 'Development Mode' for your user then do so now - Your Name > Setup > Administration Setup > Manage Users > Users > Your Username > User Detail - it makes working with Visualforce pages much easier.
With development mode set, you can create a Visual Force page by modifying the URL in your browser to https://instance/apex/StreamingPage, where instance is the Force.com instance you usually see in the console, for example,
na1.salesforce.com, and clicking 'Create Page'.
In the resulting new page, click the icon in the bottom right of the window to open the edit pane and paste in the following code.
<apex:page> <apex:includeScript value="{!$Resource.cometd}"/> <apex:includeScript value="{!$Resource.jquery}"/> <apex:includeScript value="{!$Resource.json2}"/> <apex:includeScript value="{!$Resource.jquery_cometd}"/>

Notifications should appear here...

  </apex:page>
Hit save and verify that the page saved without errors. Now open another browser window and create a new Account. You should see a notification appear in the Visualforce page:
A real application would do much more than simply display the new Account name and associated data. For example, if the Visualforce page was showing a list of Accounts, the new Account could be dynamically added to the list, immediately available to the user.
On-premise applications written in Java and other languages can also receive notifications via the Force.com Streaming API. In this section you'll create a Java application to receive updates from that same topic you created earlier.
Note that it is best practice to keep credentials such as OAuth client identifiers and secrets and API usernames and passwords out of source code. Using environment variables achieves this end with a minimum of extra work. You'll also need to set the topic name as a command-line parameter.
Running example.... Login response: { "access_token": "00Dx00000008t03!AR0AQGjuKpdpiqFYnNHDJ2.GIjcSmBb3Zp0MbfNJR1hnMD9FhwU.8sF3ty4fuQ2R.13c3PN_Lno57qiDfvjzSaOYpFZVWvHM", "id": "https://prerellogin.pre.salesforce.com/id/00Dx00000008t03EAA/005x0000000JNgnAAG", "instance_url": "https://prerelna1.pre.salesforce.com", "issued_at": "1308678916406", "signature": "dpQvS25GyXgB3fi2KlvTKHT/cg1KM7AgDn2apNvgkjw=" } Waiting for handshake Subscribing to topic: NewAccounts Waiting for streamed data from salesforce...
... Waiting for streamed data from salesforce... Received Message: { "channel": "/topic/NewAccounts", "data": { "Id": "001x0000002JcsJAAS", "Name": "Another New Account", "eventCreatedDate": "Tue Jun 21 17:55:32 GMT 2011", "eventType": "created" } }
Again, a real application would do much more than simply display the notification message; for example, if the query was on some field value exceeding a critical threshold, the application might send an SNMP alert or SMS message.
MakeTopic.java shows you how to create a PushTopic record from Java using the Force.com REST API. You'll need the same Jetty libraries as the Java client example app above.
This tutorial showed how to use the Force.com Streaming API. The source code demonstrates how to use the API from JavaScript running in a Visualforce page and a Java command-line application, though the techniques can be transferred to other programming languages.
The Force.com Streaming API is a powerful, convenient, and simple way to obtain a near real-time stream of data from the Force.com platform in a secure and scalable way. We look forward to seeing our developer community use the REST API to create new innovations around the Force.com platform.
Pat Patterson is a member of the Developer Evangelism team at Salesforce.com, currently focusing on dynamic languages. Describing himself as an 'articulate techie', Pat hacks all manner of code from Node.js web apps down to Linux kernel drivers, writing it all up on the Force.com blog, his own blog Superpatterns, and, of course, Twitter.

Up and down the East Coast, students at The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law have brought honor to their school in various moot court competitions this spring.
The ABA Negotiations Scarlet team, comprised of 2L Kwame Christian and 3L Christopher Bordenave, placed high in yet another national competition. They placed second at the NBLSA International Negotiations Competition in Washington, D.C., held March 7-11.
Christian and Bordenave previously won the ABA Regional Negotiations Competition in Ottawa, Canada in November, and they advanced to the semifinal rounds of the ABA National Negotiations Competition in New Orleans in February.
The Corporate Law team, comprised of 3Ls Joseph C. Barsalona II and Thaddeus M. Boggs and 2L Emily A. Farinacci, took second place at the Ruby R. Vale Interschool Corporate Moot Court Competition. Held March 15-18 at Widener University, the team lost in a close decision in the final round, arguing in front of two sitting Delaware justices, two sitting Chancery justices, and a distinguished practitioner.
"They were the hardest-working team I have had the pleasure to coach, and they have been outstanding representatives for Moritz and our moot court program," said Paul Rose, associate professor of law.
John Kalis, a 3L, was named "best oral advocate" at the Sutherland Cup Competition, held March 23-24 in Washington, D.C. Kalis and his teammates, 3L Megan Fulcher and 2L Nikki Baszynski, also won the best brief prize. The team advanced to the final round, losing an extremely close argument to Boston University.
The competition, hosted by The Catholic University of America, is the oldest moot court competition in the United States and one of the most prestigious. Teams must submit a brief and deliver oral arguments before a panel of practicing attorneys. This is the fourth time in the past seven years that a Moritz student has been named best oral advocate in the competition and the third time the College's team has advanced to the final round.

The image Sony just tweeted might just reveal the PS4 release date, worlds will indeed collide on this peculiar date.
Pre-console launch conspiracies are the best conspiracies. I loved the "rumor" from yesterday that Xbox One was going to jump to 12 GB of RAM before launch.
"Confirmed", huh?
Oh, and 11/3 is a Sunday. Seriously doubt Sony will release PS4 on a Sunday.
I believe 11/5 will be the release date for the PS4 in North America.
Honestly it wouldn't surprise me. It just seems very out of character for SONY itself to massively tease a single studio's video game. The studio usually does it themselves.

The age of universe is approximately 13.8 billion years (13.8 x 109 years).
- Earth was the center of the Universe and the Sun, the Moon, and the other planets are orbited the Earth. – Aristotle and Claudius Ptolemy
Sun was the center of the Universe. – Aristarchus, Nicholas Copernicus and Galileo
- Johannes Kepler stated that the sun is the center of solar system and not the universe.
- In 1924, the existence of galaxies was fist demonstrated by Edwin Hubble.
Evolution of Universe
Big Bang Theory
- This theory was proposed by Georges LeMaitre.
- In 1920s, a theory that the universe was created by a huge explosion, and all matter in the universe is still flying away from that explosion at enormous speeds. This theory named as the Big Bang Theory around 1930.
Steady State Theory
- It states that the counting of the galaxies in our Universe is constant and new galaxies which are forming continuously are filling the empty spaces which are created by those heavenly bodies which have crossed the boundary lines of observable Universe.
- It was developed in 1948 by Fred Hoyle, Thomas Gold and Hermann Bondi.
Pulsating Theory
It states that it is the possibility that after some passage of time the expansion in the universe may stop. Then their may be the possibility of contraction. When this contraction will approaches to a particular size. Again the explosion will take place. As a result of this explosion the expansion of universe will start again. Hence it results in a pulsating universe in which there is alternate expansion and contraction of universe.
- Galaxies are formed by group of starts, gases, and dust particles all are together by strong gravitational forces.
- Galaxies are classified into three main types: spiral galaxies, elliptical galaxies, and irregular galaxies.
- Milky Way (Akash Ganga) is the galaxy that contains our Solar System.
- The Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy.
- The Andromeda Galaxy (also known as NGC 224 and M31) is the nearest spiral galaxy to our Milky Way galaxy.
- MACS0647-JD is the farthest known Galaxy in the Universe.
- Stars are glowing heavenly bodies. It emits light due to their high temperatures. It can be seen on a clear night.
- The nearest star to us the sun. It is the brightest star.
- The second brightest star is Alpha Centauri. The approximate distance of the star Alpha Centauri from earth is near about 4.3 light years.
- Oldest start : HE 1523-0901 about 13.2 billion years old
- Biggest star : VY Canis Majoris, 1,540 times the size of the Sun.
- Smallest star : Gliese 623b. One tenth the mass of the sun.
Black Hole
- Black holes are the cold remnants of former stars, so dense that no matter—not even light—is able to escape their powerful gravitational pull.
- While most stars end up as white dwarfs or neutron stars, black holes are the last evolutionary stage in the lifetimes of enormous stars that had been at least 10 or 15 times as massive as our own sun.
- When giant stars reach the final stages of their lives they often detonate in cataclysms known as supernovae. Such an explosion scatters most of a star into the void of space but leaves behind a large "cold" remnant on which fusion no longer takes place.

Independence Day Lyrics
Artist: No Motiv
Album: Daylight Breaking
It's getting complicated
I'm finding it difficult to go
Can't stop the walls from caving in on me
And I'm still finding out
Only if you understood
You would see you'd know by now
Things aren't quite so good
Why can't you understand me
Only if I could find it
Seems miles away
Only if I could have it
My independence day
It's funny how we always end
A stalemate on and on and on
Can't put the past behind me
You're still talking nonsensical
Only if we understood
Each other you'd know by now
Oh how I wish you could
Why can't you understand it
Only if I could find it
Seems miles away
Only if I could have it
My independence day

Our Choir meet Nathan Timothy
Submitted by Katie Cutajar on Thu, 18/05/2017 - 11:50am
We were delighted to welcome back Nathan Timothy, who leads a songwriting charity called Bully Beat. You may remember, he worked with Maple Class last year to compose and perform a song to support friendships. This time, he worked alongside our Music Teacher, Mr Gregory, and our choir to compose a piece of music about the importance of kindess, which as you know, is one of our school values. Everyone involved had a great time and developed not just thier musical skills, but also their negotiation skills and confidence.
Have a listen to the piece of music here.

I'm Ken, an interdisciplinary design practitioner living and working in Seattle, Washington.
I'm currently a designer at Pyramid Communications, a strategy and communications firm giving voice to good causes.
I'm also serving on the Board of Directors for AIGA Seattle, a chapter of AIGA, the professional association for design. In my role as Technology Director, I manage the tools and services the chapter uses, both internally and externally, and look for ways to innovate and improve upon the systems we have in place. I also help organize the Changemaker Series, AIGA Seattle's annual programming focused on Design for Good and design thinking. I've been a member of AIGA since 2009. In 2011 I participated in the AIGA Alabama Design Summit, and recently I participated in the AIGA + IBM F.ACT Summit in Austin, TX, a design thinking facilitator activation workshop for chapter leaders.
In 2012 I graduated from the Corcoran College of Art + Design in Washington, DC, with a BFA in graphic design. You can see some of my student work on Behance.
Outside of my work with Pyramid and AIGA, I enjoy spending time with my partner, Sarah, and our dog, collecting dinosaur figurines from flea markets, and hunting for funky neon signs around the city. If you know about broomball and where to play it around Seattle, we could be friends.

Often, your best friends also tick you off the most. No exception here. My buddy Drew constantly teases me about CAPC. He likes to pick on me for being a poor dresser, too, but he's basically right about that so I can't complain.
His favorite joke is that at CAPC all we do is try to find, "redemptive themes," in movies. "Where was the redemptive theme in THAT?" he asked, 30 seconds after we walked out of "The Dark Knight."
My friend's unfair (and uninformed) joking is a humorous pain in the neck, but he highlights a real problem in Christian circles- we often evaluate movies by only looking for two things; content (much discussed elsewhere in CAPC) and redemptive themes.
Worse, we look for and encourage these themes even when the "redemption" being portrayed is different or even antithetical to the Christian version of redemption. Christian redemption recognizes sin, accepts Christ's offer of forgiveness, submits to God's will, and has confidence in the hope of heaven. Worldly redemption realizes that life sucks or that someone screwed up, pulls oneself up by the bootstraps, and results in living out your life more happy than you were before. Those two things are, um, different.
Exhibit A is the list Christianity Today puts out each year; "The 10 Most Redeeming Films of [the year]." This list is intended to help people find quality movies, which of course I appreciate. The problem is the idea that movies with ANY kind of redemption are healthier for Christian consumption than those that have none, even if the non-redemptive movies are a more accurate portrayal of Truth.
For example, let's take examples from 2007. CT highlights, "Into the Wild." They say:
"This idealistic young man was running away from the right problems, but he ultimately ran right past the meaning of life—and those mistakes cost him his life. But the beauty and wisdom he encounters along the way have much to offer us all."
Wait… what? The kid dies for no reason and misses the point of life, but it's a redemptive movie because he encounters beauty and wisdom? And what, "meaning of life," does the movie portray him as missing? Happiness is only real when shared?
The list goes on to recommend "The Kite Runner." Interesting movie- but redemption from guilt without redemption from sin is not a helpful message. We Christians want to be clear that sin leads to death, no matter what acts of goodness you do to make up for past actions.
Finally, the list highlights "Ratatouille." Well made? Yes. A good example of the Christian idea of redemption? No. Listen to this:
"This feast for the eyes and the soul is also a commentary about the pursuit of excellence, rather than settling for competence, and about how great things can come from the unlikeliest of places."
Since when does any of that help point people toward the gospel? Is it really the Biblical witness that redemption is about pursuing excellence and believing in yourself?
Now, noticeably absent from the list were two of the best movies of the year; "There Will Be Blood" and "No Country for Old Men." I entirely agree than neither one portrayed redemption… but for that very reason, I think they were much more accurate portrayals of the TRUTH of the world -its sinful, greedy, self serving side in particular- than any of the, "redemptive," movies above.
How are Christian leaders teaching Christians to think about art? Is it supposed to feel good or be truthful?
Let's take two biographical stories of redemption vs. non-redemption.
One, while still a young man, had a career in the ministry set before him. However, he left. He wandered around the country, using props and demonstrations to express his message that the country was headed down the tubes, that there was no hope for society. Further, he argued that the best people would survive the coming challenges, but the bad people would not. Even so, when war came he stuck with the bad people, and eventually died with them.Another man became an actor at a very young age. He made several movies, but then fell into drug abuse. He failed several rehab programs. He was arrested multiple times. He drove down Sunset Boulevard naked, throwing imaginary rats out of the window. Eventually, though, he turned his life around. He cleaned up his act. He got some more acting jobs, and was fantastic. Now he is healthy, active, and engaged in multiple projects. He was also named the Entertainer of the Year.
The story of the first man, if made into a movie, may not sound redemptive. The story of the second does. But the first man is the prophet Jeremiah, a faithful follower of God. The second is Robert Downey Jr., now an herbal health nut and clearly not interested in Christianity at all. Which man is better at pointing to the gospel?
Here's a comment I wrote on a blog about "Walk The Line," the movie about Johnny Cash:
"I agree that there is something inherently dangerous about Walk The Line.
I don't think it is saying Cash's sins are good, nor that his life on the whole is a model to follow. In fact, I agree that it is a story of redemption.
However, it is not redemption from an unholy life and sin so much as it is redemption from PAIN. As portrayed by Hollywood, Cash goes through great struggle to find happiness. In the end, he seems no less self-serving and hedonistic than before; he has merely come to a new understanding of which self-serving desires are the best ones to fulfill. The pain of long experience has taught him that happiness comes through sobriety, popularity, and June Carter rather than alcohol, drugs, and the first Mrs. Cash. He orders his life accordingly.
To me, this story glorifies the intertwining of the maturation process and the pursuit of happiness. In his early life, his lack of the former led to mistakes in his pursuit of the latter. Through painful experience and failures, he learns to realign his values so that his pursuit of happiness and selfish desires is guided by the 'wisdom' of maturation.
This is where the dangerous part comes in. Hollywood glorifies these two themes in the life of Johnny Cash, rather than repentance of sin and glorification of God. Thanks to selective story telling (I'm sure we'd have a different take if the whole story was told from his first wife's perspective), we are made to sympathize with his choices as he tries to be happy, and then hurt for him when these choices turn out to be destructive. We are then made to feel emotionally happy when, through his experiences, he finally gains a 'happy' and productive life. Do what you want, the movie seems to say, but do it in a way that won't cause you pain in the long term.
Thus, drugs and alcohol are bad. However, that nagging wife is never going to change, and you couldn't really be happy without June, now could you? Therefore, the happy life of the ending is drug and alcohol free, but June remains.
Remember, when she won awards for this movie, Reese Witherspoon continually referred to June Carter as her 'inspiration.' Though she may not be able to articulate it, for my money I'd bet it's because the world tends to deify those who have the patience to wait for the maturation process to come to completion.
So, I think the movie is a significant danger to younger people. They are taught to see beauty in finding what they want and what makes them happy, even if there are a lot of pitfalls along the way. They are taught to respond to their emotions as their guide, and to let pain (not sin) be their teacher. They are taught that when health, wealth, and happiness are present, all is well with the world, and when poverty and boredom and pain come, you need to make changes in your life.
Those are not the values I want for my kids, nor for myself. I'll take Chariots of Fire instead, thanks."
So Christians, stop pretending that a "good" movie is only one that fits some form of "redemption from everything." And stop boycotting movies that are truthful about the sin and junk in the world. If we want to proclaim the true gospel to the world, we had better start with Truth.
