Some betting lovers will have found the caption “offshore sports betting”, though some might not be entirely certain what it actually means. A foreign gaming internet site fundamentally functions outside the administration of any specific state instead it can also mean an internet based sports betting web site deploying its host computer in a state where on-line sports gaming is not at this time unlawful. In a nutshell therefore, it’s a gambling agency running extraneous to the land of the wagering fan. Online gaming sites are all governed via three councils. These guilds are OSGA (the Offshore Gaming Association), IGC (Interactive Gaming Council) and the Fidelity Trust Gaming Association (the FTGA).

The OSGA are a nonpartisan bureau that currently supervises the current offshore gambling business with the task of to also give sports gaming fans an avenue to swiftly discover honest enterprises to play games with. It works to watch over client’s rights, and also they don’t demand any affiliation expenses.

The Offshore Gaming Association are a proficient not to mention equitable third party agency that gives equitable information, indicated by your observations, unbiased analysis, telephone conversations, prompts also supplies industry information.

The Interactive Gaming Council is a nonprofit administration. The council has been set up to allow a platform for worried individuals to talk about controversies also to move forward collective interests in the international web-based gaming industry, to ensure frank and also level headed commercial protocols and patterns that enhance consumer certainty in interactive gaming products and utilities, and in addition to serve as the industry’s inclusive strategy interpreter and the council also works as a data clearinghouse.

The IGC has established a distinction for reliability, fairness also solidity through its elevated standards, and its appeal for commercial enterprises of high practise. The Interactive Gaming Council monitors overseas betting via employing a characteristic ten-point general policy regulations and in addition charges sports gaming businesses license fees to display their logo. Discontented betters can, should they like, report any of their misunderstandings to the Interactive Gaming Council.

The Fidelity Trust Gaming Association has been established in order to generate a standard which will raise the policies of on-line sports gaming internet sites. The council trust that by conducting trade with companies of good reputation, they are able to create a membership of the fairest and most efficient online gaming operations multinationally.

So, these are governing bodies who function to inspect the dealings exercised by live sports betting and which should with luck aid to relieve most of the concerns due to the insecurity experienced by skeptics. On-line gambling web sites are totally harmless, now that private data are no longer demanded and in addition the compensation not to mention the odds are equivalent to your familiar Vegas-type wager. They do away with the traveling outlay, but keep the atmosphere of a Vegas betting internet site, however nowadays you can bet in your own home.

Question: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Getting good teachers is more fortunate than getting good parents. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

I agree with the statement.

Every child when born gets good parents for them. However they are behaving to others in life every parent will love and care their child is an illicit law of universe, ofcourse there are some anomali and we are not for talking about them.

On the other hand every kid who grows is not able to get
good teachers for their improvement. Almost all the children get moulded quickly and tractably in the schools.
Because the teachers don’t mollicoddle the children when they do the right things or abuse them when they do wrong.
They are trained and mature enough to treat them to positively mould their thoughts for their bright future.

Good teachers know when to control or to praise them.

If any student is inchoating to do a peccadillo, if he have a good teacher, the teacher will control him by making him to feel the wrong about the behaviour, without hurting or punishing him.

This is a real example I have seen in my life. One of my friends was to attend a dance practice for the Christmas function. All of us have a test that afternoon. He didint read a single word for the test the day before. We adviced him to ask permission from the teacher to do the test the next day. As he is a above average student he dont want to postpone the test. During the test he was caught by our teacher as he copied from book. The teacher doesnt say anything and simply tared the page and said marks for this test is not considered for the exams. If you want you can redo this test tommorrow. If she had thought she could have punished him severely but she left the room quietly. He felt guilty and started to study. Thereafter he never done anything wrong. Our friend secured the class’s first mark in the following months and rest of our school days. Still he remembers the memory of our teacher reverent sister Joseph.

On the other hand some immature teachers are also there who get irritated by the mischief done by the active children.
They ruin the young children by sarcasting them and make them gloomy and the soon the childern gets incorridgeble.

Concludingly if we carefully revise the lives of every sucessful personality he or she would have gotten atleast a best memorable teacher as godfather or a mother angel.

So it is important to a child to get a good teacher than to get good parents.

Have a nice day.

Can you make a living as a writer, artist, designer or other creative soul? Yes, you
can, if you learn a few tricks.

The most important trick is to learn to think of yourself as TWO people. The first is
the creative person who writes, paints, photographs or designs, without a care for
anything except the creative work itself. The second person is a sharp-eyed, clear-
thinking marketer.

In many creatives, the sharp-eyed marketer is in embryonic form. Fear not. You can
nurture your inner marketer.

Here’s how to start to make your creativity pay:

=> 1. Start small: downplay your creativity

Your ultimate goal may be a book on the New York Times bestseller list, or your
own show in a major gallery, but start small and build your confidence.

While you’re doing that, downplay your creativity at home and among your friends.
Why? Any number of reasons. The chief one is that your creative endeavors are as
important to you as a new baby is to the proud parents. While you’re a taking the
first hesitant steps of your creative career, you’re sensitive. You’re likely to get badly
blocked if someone whose opinion you value says the wrong thing to you. This
doesn’t mean that you’re completely unsocial. Get a writing or painting pal, take a
course, or join a group. But among your nearest and dearest and closest friends,
silence pays off.

Starting small means small sales, not working for free. There are times you may
choose to give your work away, but in the beginning of your career you need the
validation that only money can give you. So write fillers for magazines (fillers are
small articles, of 200 words or less), advertisements for your local bank, or copy for
greeting cards. Write a short story or two, and submit them for publication.

Anything you write, that you get paid for, will boost your confidence. When you’re
confident enough to disregard ill-informed opinion, you can share your aspirations
freely.

=> 2. Be passionate, not desperate

Your passion and love for your work will sustain you through your career, and your
entire life. However, don’t take this passion for granted. If you don’t nurture it, it
will fade.

Whenever you feel depressed, ask yourself whether you still enjoy writing.
Sometimes the answer will be a loud “no”. Perhaps your writing isn’t going as well as
you hoped it would, or you’ve had some drama in your life, or you’ve been rejected.
At these times, remind yourself that you love what you do, and ask yourself what
you would enjoy writing today. Then do that. Work on rebuilding your love for your
writing first, before you concern yourself about anything else.

If success comes slowly (or hasn’t arrived yet), don’t become desperate. Be patient.
Selling your creativity takes time. If you can sense desperation taking hold, remind
yourself that you’re writing because you love to write.

Writers (and other creatives) may become desperate because of others’
expectations. “Have you sold that book you were working on?” “Have you sold a
painting?” This pressure is why you play your cards close to your chest. (See
“downplay your creativity”, above.)

=> 3. Market your work

When should you start to market your work? Immediately. As soon as you’ve written
something that you feel is publishable, send it out.

This is where you tuck your creative self away, and haul your inner marketer out of
the closet. Divorce yourself from your work as much as you can. Grit your teeth, and
flail yourself with a whip if necessary, but send your work out. Then forget it. Your
first marketing efforts may be torture. That’s OK. You don’t have to enjoy
marketing, you just have to do it.

Starting small is important for writers, because you can send out a short story or a
filler article without writing a query letter. For a new writer, query letters can be
dangerous. Here’s why: some writers never get beyond a query letter. Ask any
editor. These writers write lots of query letters, get good at it, and then one day an
editor calls their bluff and sends them a contract. At this, the query writer panics.
Not only doesn’t she write the article, she gives up writing for several years. Then
she starts again. Writing query letters…

The good news is that once you’ve got into the habit of writing and sending your
work out, you can stop worrying. Sooner or later you’ll get a check. (Sooner, we
hope.)

The big benefit of marketing is that after a while it stops being a trauma. It starts to
become fun. Your inner marketer is all grown up. Then the only problem you have is
getting organized so that you keep track of what you sent where.

If you follow the three strategies above, you will make your creativity pay, and
sooner than you think is possible.

Is there any necessary connection between our actions and the happiness of others? Disregarding for a moment the murkiness of the definitions of “actions” in philosophical literature – two types of answers were hitherto provided.

Sentient Beings (referred to, in this essay, as “Humans” or “persons”) seem either to limit each other – or to enhance each other’s actions. Mutual limitation is, for instance, evident in game theory. It deals with decision outcomes when all the rational “players” are fully aware of both the outcomes of their actions and of what they prefer these outcomes to be. They are also fully informed about the other players: they know that they are rational, too, for instance. This, of course, is a very farfetched idealization. A state of unbounded information is nowhere and never to be found. Still, in most cases, the players settle down to one of the Nash equilibria solutions. Their actions are constrained by the existence of the others.

The “Hidden Hand” of Adam Smith (which, among other things, benignly and optimally regulates the market and the price mechanisms) – is also a “mutually limiting” model. Numerous single participants strive to maximize their (economic and financial) outcomes – and end up merely optimizing them. The reason lies in the existence of others within the “market”. Again, they are constrained by other people’s motivations, priorities ands, above all, actions.

All the consequentialist theories of ethics deal with mutual enhancement. This is especially true of the Utilitarian variety. Acts (whether judged individually or in conformity to a set of rules) are moral, if their outcome increases utility (also known as happiness or pleasure). They are morally obligatory if they maximize utility and no alternative course of action can do so. Other versions talk about an “increase” in utility rather than its maximization. Still, the principle is simple: for an act to be judged “moral, ethical, virtuous, or good” – it must influence others in a way which will “enhance” and increase their happiness.

The flaws in all the above answers are evident and have been explored at length in the literature. The assumptions are dubious (fully informed participants, rationality in decision making and in prioritizing the outcomes, etc.). All the answers are instrumental and quantitative: they strive to offer a moral measuring rod. An “increase” entails the measurement of two states: before and after the act. Moreover, it demands full knowledge of the world and a type of knowledge so intimate, so private – that it is not even sure that the players themselves have conscious access to it. Who goes around equipped with an exhaustive list of his priorities and another list of all the possible outcomes of all the acts that he may commit?

But there is another, basic flaw: these answers are descriptive, observational, phenomenological in the restrictive sense of these words. The motives, the drives, the urges, the whole psychological landscape behind the act are deemed irrelevant. The only thing relevant is the increase in utility/happiness. If the latter is achieved – the former might as well not have existed. A computer, which increases happiness is morally equivalent to a person who achieves a quantitatively similar effect. Even worse: two persons acting out of different motives (one malicious and one benevolent) will be judged to be morally equivalent if their acts were to increase happiness similarly.

But, in life, an increase in utility or happiness or pleasure is CONDITIONED upon, is the RESULT of the motives behind the acts that led to it. Put differently: the utility functions of two acts depend decisively on the motivation, drive, or urge behind them. The process, which leads to the act is an inseparable part of the act and of its outcomes, including the outcomes in terms of the subsequent increase in utility or happiness. We can safely distinguish the “utility contaminated” act from the “utility pure (or ideal)” act.

If a person does something which is supposed to increase the overall utility – but does so in order to increase his own utility more than the expected average utility increase – the resulting increase will be lower. The maximum utility increase is achieved overall when the actor forgoes all increase in his personal utility. It seems that there is a constant of utility increase and a conservation law pertaining to it. So that a disproportionate increase in one’s personal utility translates into a decrease in the overall average utility. It is not a zero sum game because of the infiniteness of the potential increase – but the rules of distribution of the utility added after the act, seem to dictate an averaging of the increase in order to maximize the result.

The same pitfalls await these observations as did the previous ones. The players must be in the possession of full information at least regarding the motivation of the other players. “Why is he doing this?” and “why did he do what he did?” are not questions confined to the criminal courts. We all want to understand the “why’s” of actions long before we engage in utilitarian calculations of increased utility. This also seems to be the source of many an emotional reaction concerning human actions. We are envious because we think that the utility increase was unevenly divided (when adjusted for efforts invested and for the prevailing cultural mores). We suspect outcomes that are “too good to be true”. Actually, this very sentence proves my point: that even if something produces an increase in overall happiness it will be considered morally dubious if the motivation behind it remains unclear or seems to be irrational or culturally deviant.

Two types of information are, therefore, always needed: one (discussed above) concerns the motives of the main protagonists, the act-ors. The second type relates to the world. Full knowledge about the world is also a necessity: the causal chains (actions lead to outcomes), what increases the overall utility or happiness and for whom, etc. To assume that all the participants in an interaction possess this tremendous amount of information is an idealization (used also in modern theories of economy), should be regarded as such and not be confused with reality in which people approximate, estimate, extrapolate and evaluate based on a much more limited knowledge.

Two examples come to mind:

Aristotle described the “Great Soul”. It is a virtuous agent (actor, player) that judges himself to be possessed of a great soul (in a self-referential evaluative disposition). He has the right measure of his worth and he courts the appreciation of his peers (but not of his inferiors) which he believes that he deserves by virtue of being virtuous. He has a dignity of demeanour, which is also very self-conscious. He is, in short, magnanimous (for instance, he forgives his enemies their offences). He seems to be the classical case of a happiness-increasing agent – but he is not. And the reason that he fails in qualifying as such is that his motives are suspect. Does he refrain from assaulting his enemies because of charity and generosity of spirit – or because it is likely to dent his pomposity? It is sufficient that a POSSIBLE different motive exist – to ruin the utilitarian outcome.

Adam Smith, on the other hand, adopted the spectator theory of his teacher Francis Hutcheson. The morally good is a euphemism. It is really the name provided to the pleasure, which a spectator derives from seeing a virtue in action. Smith added that the reason for this emotion is the similarity between the virtue observed in the agent and the virtue possessed by the observer. It is of a moral nature because of the object involved: the agent tries to consciously conform to standards of behaviour which will not harm the innocent, while, simultaneously benefiting himself, his family and his friends. This, in turn, will benefit society as a whole. Such a person is likely to be grateful to his benefactors and sustain the chain of virtue by reciprocating. The chain of good will, thus, endlessly multiply.

Even here, we see that the question of motive and psychology is of utmost importance. WHY is the agent doing what he is doing? Does he really conform to society’s standards INTERNALLY? Is he GRATEFUL to his benefactors? Does he WISH to benefit his friends? These are all questions answerable only in the realm of the mind. Really, they are not answerable at all.

SUCH A TIME LIKE THIS

The LORD raises up people for different reasons
The Bible records stories of times and seasons
Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jonah and Esther are a few
Of those that God raised up, his bidding to do
How about Stephen, James, John, Peter and Paul
To do his work on earth, on them God did call

Brother Daniel was born and lived to record
Much about prayer and the workings of the LORD
He wrote that in the last days knowledge would increase
After he finished chapter 12, God let him rest in peace
Malachi was a prophet born to preach and write
His four chapters point to the dawning of a new light

In our present year of two thousand and five A.D.
God still raises up people like you and me
To do his work in such a time like this
To point others to Jesus so heaven they won’t miss
Knowledge has increased and many are running to and fro
God’s word is truth, this one thing I know

About the Author

Author of My Walk with the Lord, www.selahbooks.com, various other articles and poems (do a google search or yahoo on my name), preacher, retired military

Is there anyone, seeing what I’m seeing in this world? What’s going on? Do we not care about what’s happening in this world? How come know one is out there making a proclamation of what’s happening to this world of ours?

Where is the Church, or the Church Leaders? Well, the church and their leaders have become so weaken, so worldly, so double-minded, so relaxed, they do not have a voice anymore. At this point, they do not even have worthy creditability, the church have literally fallen from Grace.

Reality is; the church sees the world as an idol, an idol that they love and worship. This may seem as though I’m being very harsh with the church, but the fact is, it’s the truth.

Let’s examine a few things about the modern church. I personally see the church today as a copy cat, that’s right a copy cat, whatever the world seek to do, the church eventually join in and it becomes a part of it. God says for us to be in the world but be not of the world. Are the people of God really that illiterate in their thinking when it comes to what God says about being in this world. A child would be more apt to understand what not being of the world mean, than what the church perceives it to mean. Just to state my case, lets take some examples:

(Rap): rap came out and most parents did not like it but could not do anything about it. So since it became acceptable, the church has picked it up, instead of singing they’re rapping. If parents and most of society did not care for rap (although it’s acceptable now) why would the church pick it up? They’re copy- cats, I’m certain they make the world feels as though it has competition.

(Dance): Christians now dance in church, literally hard down dance, no different than they do in some night- clubs. There’s a difference in dancing and shouting, The only kind of dance in the Bible is praise dance, which were done by beautiful half dress girls or young women of all the Pharaohs and Kings. There have never been any Holy women of God in the Old or New Testament dancing, before Moses, the Prophets, Teachers, or of any of the Apostles of God or even before God. When the Bible states a Holy dance to God it’s not the break dance, electric slide, or ballerinas flying up in the air with skin tights on with their legs wide open (How is this Glorifying God?). At best, this is not to Glorify God but entertainment in the eyes of the beholder. Copycats, it appears to me the church is more jealous of the world then the world is of the church. If not, then you tell me why the church fine it necessary to do what it sees the world do, seems like jealously to me.

But let the church tell it, they all would say, “Oh it all belongs to us, we’re suppose to have the best” no one is arguing that, I believe in having the best as well, in fact, I do have the best and that is, the life I live with Christ pleasing him not man. Your stupidity in copying what the world is doing is going to bring more havoc and pain to this world then your mind can even image

Do you know why it was that Christ was born in a barn and not a Palace? I guarantee most Bishops, Pastors and Ministers of God know not the revelation of this.

(Conversation): Here lies a major concern, conversation. Christians copy the world language, literally, word for word, case and point, you have Bishops, Pastors, supposedly Men of God, standing in God’s pulpit or on there stage with an audience full of what suppose to be men and women of God, Saints of God, Christian, or whatever you want to call them, that refer to their congregation of people as Guys or Man, while preaching God’s word. Being a Holy woman of God, I’m offended by a man calling himself a Bishop or Pastor and standing preaching to me or talking to me and all you can here come from his mouth as he talk is man, or you guys, since when did God change his beautiful creation of women to man, or you guys? If the secular world wants to use that terminology when talking then let them, after all, hell not monitoring their conversation, but you can believe Heaven is recording our conversation, and you would think the Bishop, Pastors and Men of God would be mindful of this.

Here again, you have Christians, copying the world and what the world has to offer it. It’s fine, when you have to correct a man that’s not thinking about God or consider him self save, but Its’ not fine, when it’s a Man of God. It really a shame, that some of these preachers, have absolutely no wisdom, when it comes to what they allow to come out of their mouth, if they had, they would often then not monitor their conversation. Do they not know some people are won by their conversation, if preachers are referring to an audience of women as, “you guys”, or “man”, you haven’t a clue as to God’s Kingdom, because there is no way a Man of God would refer to women of God as “you guys” or “man”. You can literally put these pools of preachers that use this terminology as babies still on milk.

Even top corporations send their business executives to schools to learn the proper usage of language, speaking properly, if you will. And these ministers suppose to be anointed by God and they do not know how to speak properly to a congregation of Christians and sinners?

The women in the church are just as bad, some of them wouldn’t know the proper biblical term of holding a decent holy conversation if their life depended on it. It’s just as repulsive to hear a woman say “man and you guys” when they are talking and holding a conversation with other women then it is to hear a secular woman use those terms when talking to other women. That’s’ the degrading of her value, she chooses to settle for. Its one thing for the women of the world to talk in that term, but when you have women calling themselves Holy women of God or Christian women, and they can’t separate or chose their choice of words more carefully then what the world does, then shame on them as women. They are no different and talk no differently then the women of the world, here again, copying the world. The Bible, have a great terminology for them “Foolish unlearned Women”. Course I personally prefer to them as clueless.

(Joking) another form of a lie or untruth told to make you laugh, the Bible say, let your conversation be yea- yea, and nay- nay. In other words, let your conversation be sound and to the point. Church folks do not understand this concept, they do more joking, jiving and gesturing then they do speaking the truth. Christians are forever picking up worldly words and slang words that do not glorify God or any sentences they use when speaking.

(Business Minded = Worldly Minded) Recent times have cause ministers to rename the church and church leaders as a business and businessmen. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with being sophisticated if indeed this is what the church chooses to believe it is. I just think the world should copy us by what we do and say and act and what we are and what we believe. Not by what they do and say and how they act and what they believe, which is no deceit for them, because they are serving satan, so there’s no imitating on there part, but plenty on our part. We, the Church are the copycats.

We know that the word of God never changes, what God said yesterday; the beginning, he means today, new testament time, my time and your time he still will mean it tomorrow (at the day of judgment). So while God’s word never changes, we do, time do, which is why we have life, life comes so that things can grow, evolve, and change, rather good or bad, things must change. But when they change, God intends for them to change in His favor not satan, we should not be partakers of him, he should be partakers of us.

God loves us, and I truly wonder how deeply do the Saints of God really realize and feel this about our Father in Heaven. The same love God has for us he wants us to have for others, I do not see were we have mastered his love yet. True most of us are getting there and some of us may already be there.

I got saved when I was 23, and no longer had the desire or need to put on make-up, jewelry or wear pants, and yet God placed me in a church where my Bishop did not preach solely against pants, and wearing make-up. And yet, although I did not wear make-up or pants as the Saints may have, it did not stop me from spending over 20 years of being a member there or of loving them and fellowshipping with them. God said for me to love, not to sit in judgment of anyone. God gave each of us a choice and that choice was to choose between life and death, and love and hate. Who gave me the authority to take away someone choice? While God gave me the authority to choose life and death, love and hate, he did not give me the authority to tell me that I must make you choose the choice I chose.

We are not puppets, driven by someone desire or will to think like them or do what they do. I think only God is driven by that desire and will for us to make our choice as to what it is we choose to do in this life, he did not give that choice for man to make, the decision for man, man has to make the decision for himself or herself, because after all, it will not be man that will put a person in hell over the wrong choice he made, but he himself.

So why then must we put stumbling blocks in front of people? Is it not my choice to choose rather or not I want to abort my child? Did not God give me my own will? Did he not tell me that if I choose life, I will have life and in having life, I can give life? Did he not tell me that if I choose death that I will have death and death would be born of me? So if God told me this, then why are you trying to take away my choice, why are you trying to force me to do something that your heart desires not, not mines. Did God not tell you to love me in spite of, but yet you crucify me, you kill doctors and burn clinics, all because I made the choice to abort the life in me. Why put a stumbling block in front of me because of my decision to rid life unto death, is that not what you are doing when you show me signs of hate because of my decision. When God said to love me, how do you not know by showing me love that I could not be won by you?

But if the church is going to fight with people over their decision to abort life or to have a gay partner, the church is just as bad as the world A woman having an abortion or a gay partner, is that any different then a woman getting married while in the church 2, 3 or more times, while confessing Holy Ghost filled and all 3 or more husbands are still alive. Did Jesus not tell the woman at the well, that the seventh husband she had were still not her husband. Having an abortion or a gay partner, is it any different then lying, stealing, cheating and defrauding? All is sin!

If you Pastors and Preachers are going to go to Capital Hill and fight against abortion rights and gay rights, then why are you not fighting against politician lying, stealing, cheating and defrauding? You know what you are? Unlearned Men of God with double standards, and God are going to get you for that. Mark my word!

This generation of people has caused the church to be a stumbling block to many people. Have it occurred to you that there are many hurting people in this world, that are in need of love and are wondering where is the church. I would say to them, “On Capital Hill fighting for the wrong things. God said for us to LOVE, not to put stumbling blocks in the way of people.

Our mission is salvation, not taking away a person choice, they have to give account of that not you, but you will give account of being a stumbling block to them for not seeing love in you enough to change their mind about abortion or being a gay person, Love Changes things not the laws that men put in place. Our mission is to love and take care of the poor, the fatherless, the widow, and the shut-ins. Who is crying out for them? I do not see one Pastor, Bishop, Religious leaders or Christian folks, on capital hill fighting the case for the homeless, the poor, when gas is $3.00 a gallon, bread 2.89 a loaf and milk $4.15 a gallon, do you not know the poor man and woman even the Christian poor man and woman have to pay the same price for their goods as the rich man. When prices of goods are high and still rising and yet the poor rate of pay has not risen. But if they are to survive they have to buy and pay the same grocery we have to buy and pay when the plain field is not level.

Which one of you Pastors or church are crying out on capital hill stating “the poor should not have to pay the same price for food or gas, that the rich pay, when they are making 6,7,8,9, 10 dollars an hour more or less. Yet you want to fight with women over aborting a fetus or having a gay partner, when there’s people right here in the United States living in poverty.

The church got it backward, the Church would win more souls to Christ if the nation saw Christian Leaders standing up fighting for poverty, health and welfare, which is not man choice, then to see the church standing up fighting over a choice that God gave all of us, not the church, he said for the church to love me not to be a hinder or stumbling block to me.

Dear friends, I love all of you every one of you, but I have to pay attention to how God feel about things, God forgive people for having abortion, he forgives, forget and love people like many gays that have changed, because, if they can change so can the next man and woman, but how can they when your fight on capital hill, television and radio show, shows them hate not love. I am just against abortion and gays as you are, but God did not put me on this earth to fight with them but to love them, just as he did not send me to a church to sit in judgment of them but to love them, so that my love for them will win them over to him.

Is it not obvious why so much is happening in this world today, do you not know that all lies from all those that have power will soon be reveal to the world, no hidden lie will ever be hidden, even if it comes from the President or the Vice President, God will reveal their wrong doing as well. One thing for sure, all you Preacher that think you are living Holy that your sins are forgiven and forgotten, please think again. If you cheated once guess what, it will be revealed, it will come to pass, Mark my word. Why? Your life doesn’t warren it to be hidden. Unto you Men of God start preaching the true word of God, word for word, worse things will happen to you.

My point in all this is it is the Church job as Followers of Christ too make the case for the poor that are among us. There are people that are in need of Christ love and the only way they can see Christ love and be won by it is by the things they see us do and say. Who stood up for all the babies that were killed when Moses was hidden from being killed? And yet did God stop it? Who stood up for the babies that were killed when Herod was searching for the baby Jesus? And believe me they were babies not fetus, but yet did God stop them from being killed, or did he send forth a Pastor or Bishop to fight Herod over it?

The disciples did not fight over a man going with another man or woman killing a child, so why are we? Jesus had a mission to accomplish, and it was not about a woman killing her child or a man going with another man, (but, about salvation, salvation changes people minds about these things not the law that man put down) heck the law couldn’t change their ways back in the old testament days, and you suppose to be Christians think its going to change their ways now, that’s why there’s so much havoc in this world today. Salvation changes people minds, not a man law telling a person what they can or cannot do to their own body, God gave them the authority over that, not man.

Surely, we all know that this is a sin that God will one-day judge. Having an abortion and men going with each other (which is an abomination to God) is a sin that is no different then any lie (which God hates). Look at what’s happening in the White House now, he President and Vice President, is no different then any other man that have lied, unlike the previous President, this President have confessed to be a Christian and yet I do not see any good he has done for the poor. The bible states a righteous man availed much, if he was so righteous why is there more calamity hitting us then there is prosperity? There is no secret hidden or lie told that will ever stay hidden. Just as God reveal the previous President wrong doing, he is certainly going to reveal this President wrong doing, before it is all over, because according to Christians, the republican party are the righteous ones.

Well, God have the last say over that one. Mark my word. I am not harping on the republican but I do get upset with Christian leaders that harp on this and not on the welfare and state of man when it comes to helping them and being a light in front of them. God did not call us to take away people choices, they have to make a choice, a choice given by God to all of us, be it right or wrong, it is my choice and God will avenge it not you. So as Jesus mission were to die for our sins because he loves us so is our mission to this world, to die first ourselves, then can and only can we see our way to love others as Jesus loved us. Which is why I stated above, this is something most of us, and I do not care who you are, have not mastered.

I went to the Mega fest in Atlantic back in August, something I had never done before and was truly blessed by all that was there, I sowed $1000 into the ministry so that God work would continue. It was an honor and pleasure to see many of the men and women of God that I have seen on TBN. Including Juanita Bynum, a woman I have never heard of until this year when I started watching TBN.

There is no doubt that Spam has affected online business in a very big and negative way. So serious is the Spam problem today that many ISP filters will routinely reject and filter out messages you need from clients and business associates. Many times even email sites are trying to control ever rising Spam volumes. Many times this makes even genuine communication via email very difficult. Just try sending mail from Yahoo to AOL and you will get an idea of what I am trying to say here. Even sending out email newsletters or ezines, which are a very important online marketing tool, can be quite a challenge these days. Not to mention safe lists that are mostly a nightmare of bounced or unread emails. Out of the volumes sent, only a tiny fraction ever gets opened, let alone read. The result is that online marketing experts have been forced to look for other options and tools to help them meet their online business objectives.

Articles are proving to be of increasing importance in many Internet marketing campaigns. Well-written articles have a lot going for them. For starters when folks go to a search engine and type out a keyword, what they are really looking for are detailed and informative free articles that will give them the information that they are looking for. This means that articles have a very good chance of being read by a large number of people. And what’s more folks who read articles are very targeted traffic. There is no way somebody with no interest in Golf will read a Golf exercise article. This means that properly used well-written targeted articles can be a very potent and effective marketing tool in the Spam world that we are in today. No Spam filters can stop them and unlike safe lists, articles get read a lot.

By posting you article at article directories and high traffic free article sites, the chances are very high that they will not only get read by a large number of people, but will also be passed on via email or by getting re-posted at other sites all over the net. This will create a continuous and growing number of links pointing back at your site since your key contact information will usually be in the article resource box.

Dear Editor,

Evolutionists claim that the genetic and biological similarities between species is evidence of common ancestry. However, that is only one interpretation of the evidence. Another possibility is that the comparative similarities are due to a common Designer who designed similar functions for similar purposes in all the various forms of life. Neither position can be scientifically proved.

Although Darwin was partially correct by showing that natural selection occurs in nature, the problem is that natural selection itself is not a creative force. Natural selection can only work with those biological variations that are possible. The evidence from genetics supports only the possibility for horizontal evolution (i.e. varieties of dogs, cats, horses, cows, etc.) but not vertical evolution (i.e. from fish to human). Unless nature has the ability to perform genetic engineering vertical evolution will not be possible.

The early grooves in the human embryo that appear to look like gills are really the early stages in the formation of the face, throat, and neck regions. The so-called “tailbone” is the early formation of the coccyx and spinal column which, because of the rate of growth being faster than the rest of the body at this stage, appears to look like a tail. The coccyx has already been proven to be useful in providing support for the pelvic muscles.

The fossil record appears to contain fossils of only complete and fully-formed species. There are no fossils of partially-evolved species to indicate that a gradual process of evolution ever occurred. Even among evolutionists there are diametrically different interpretations and reconstructions of the fossils used to support human evolution from a supposed ape-like ancestry.

The fact is, there is no solid scientific evidence that humans evolved from ape-like ancestors anymore than there is solid scientific evidence that apes evolved from four-legged (dog-like) mammals.

Of course, how animal and plant species would have been able to survive at all while their vital organs (i.e. brain, reproductive organs, immune system, etc.) were still in the process of evolving over supposedly millions of years is still a major problem for evolutionists. Even a partially-evolved eye would be a significant biological hindrance rather than asset for survival!

Natural laws are sufficient for explaining how the order in life, the universe, and even a microwave oven operates but that doesn’t mean mere undirected natural laws are sufficient for fully explaining the origin of such order.

We also know from the law of entropy in science that the universe does not have the ability to have sustained itself from eternity. The existence and complexity of the universe point to a Supreme Designer and Creator!

No human being observed, either directly or indirectly, the origin of life and the universe, by either chance or design. Thus, neither position can be scientifically proved. The issue is which position has better scientific support.

These are just some brief examples of the varying assumptions, arguments, and interpretations on both sides of the issue. And both sides should be presented to students. That is all that is being asked by the advocates of intelligent design.

There are many questions that cannot be fully addressed in the space of this letter. For a more in-depth analysis of the evolution/intelligent design debate addressing various issues (i.e. the origin of life, mutations, comparative anatomy and physiology, vestigial structures, the fossil record, the age of the earth, etc.) please read my essay on the subject at www.religionscience.com.

In this article I write about how we can become content with life by learning to like ourselves and by appreciating what we have in life. There are far too many people who are comparing their lives to that of their friends and neighbours, and who then think that they are not good enough. This can make them become jealous and even depressed.

I have to admit that I was like the people I am describing above. I was not happy with the car I drove, or at the company where I worked, or at how much money I earned per year and even with the girlfriend I had. My friends seemed to drive much better cars, worked for much better employers, earned far more per year than I did and had much better looking girlfriends, sorry Claire!

I have since managed to change my attitude to life and am now very happy with what I have in life. I now look at the bigger picture and instead of concentrating my thoughts at people who I feel are better off than me, I watch the news from around the world and hear about people who are far less fortunate than I am. I certainly now feel that I am actually very lucky compared to most people who live on this planet.

I also did not really like myself, I wanted to be taller, stronger, a better communicator (I had a stutter), and a lot fitter than I was (I was quite fat). I have since accepted that there are various things that I can not change, such as my height and have therefore accepted that I am shorter than the average male. I have also thought about the positive aspects of being short, more leg room on a plane etc. Other aspects of my life at which I was not happy with, but felt I could change or improve, I have worked very hard on, and am now at a weight I am happy with and have overcome the stuttering speech impediment.

I now like myself and if other people choose not to, that is fine by me, I have enough people who do. In any case it is what I think that counts, therefore if they think I am an idiot, thats fine, because I believe I am not.

I now have an opinion that what car I drive or how much money I earn is not important. For me, health and happiness are the two most important things in life and these are things which money can not buy.

I have decided that stressing or worrying about a situation does not help me to succeed, it just makes things a whole lot worse and more difficult. I now think to myself, that all I can do in life is to try my best and if I do that I can be proud of myself.

I used to be very hard on myself, my own worst critic. I am now a lot easier on myself, I have realised that I will make mistakes and always try to learn from the experiences. My body and brain are temples and I need to be nice to them. Hopefully if I am they will reward me with my continued health.

I am now far happier than I have ever been and am determined not to slip back into my old ways of depression and negative thinking.

I hope this article helps you in your quest for a better life.

There is a lot of preparation involved when graduating as a diploma holder. It is important that one ensures they have made all the necessary arrangements prior to the graduation day. The gown should be bought, custom made or hired in advance to avoid last minute rush that could lead to disappointments. The one graduating to be a diploma holder should have a list of all close family and friends to be invited for the graduation and send out the invitations early enough. Finally, the diploma holder graduate needs to verify their name with their respective school or college to ensure that their names are written, as they should appear on the diploma.
