Thế giớ em ra sao thế giớ anh ra sao Tại sao ta không chung một thế giới Phải chăng nếu chẳng gặp nhau Giờ đây mỗi đứa mỗi nơi Gần nhau nhưng sao rất xa Nhìn em không dám gọi tên em Dù biết tim mình yêu em Tại sao ta cứ mong chờ Gặp nhau sao cứ hững hờ Nhìn nhau sao không một ai nói Lặng im như cây mít thật cao Giường như chẳng phải yêu đâu Vậy sao như thấy tim đau Giường như anh đã dần xa nhau Chỉ thấy tim mình xót xa người ơi.

I’m doing my first puzzle after several years of “inactivity” , but it’s hard , only in black and white , with a lot of areas with the same variation of tone , and relatively large ( 1500 pieces ) . I focus very closely the entire picture on the box to understand the entire figure that I have to do , and more complex is the puzzle or a part of it and more time i dedicate to this observation .

Outrage over Golden Temple replica in Punjab 15 Jun 2009, 1126 hrs IST, IANS SANGRUR, PUNJAB: The Sikh leadership in Punjab is furious over attempts by a sect to replicate the design and structure of their holiest shrine – the Golden Temple or Harmandar Sahib at Amritsar. Reminiscent of the huge row after the Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh had sought to imitate the tenth Sikh guru, Guru Gobind Singh, by wearing look-alike robes in April 2007, the private shrine in Punjab’s Sangrur district, 170 km from Chandigarh, seems to have upset everyone — from common devotees to the apex Sikh clergy and the Shiromani Gurudwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC). While an indignant SGPC president Avtar Singh Makkar has ordered the management of the Gurudwara Sachkhand Angeetha Sahib at Mastuana to halt further construction on the structure, the head priest of the Akal Takht (the highest temporal seat of Sikhism), Giani Gurbachan Singh has declared it “sacrilegious”

Sometimes it’s surprising how little institutional memory the mainstream media has. Take this story from the New York Times , explaining a debate over a building plan by a Muslim school in Northern Virginia. Reporter Theo Emery explains that Islamic Saudi Academy officials in Fairfax, Virginia, are seeking permission to erect a new classroom building and move hundreds of students from another campus

According to the Mankato (MN) Free Press the court-ordered chemotherapy being administered to 13-year old Daniel Hauser has shrunk his tumor, indicating that it has not become resistant to chemotherapy. However it is still too early to determine his longer term prognosis. In a high profile case, a Minnesota court rejected the religious objections of Daniel and his mother to chemotherapy treatment for the boy’s Hodgkin’s lymphoma

CHANDIGARH – Punjab’s social and religious fabric is undergoing a gradual change, and divisions too, with the increasing influence of controversial deras or sects headed by ‘godmen’ who have capitalized on the tensions between orthodox Sikhs and others. The spotlight has swivelled to the deras once again with large parts of Punjab being held to ransom by followers of the Dera Sachkhand protesting the attack on two of their leaders in Vienna recently. The attack itself was the result of a simmering tension between the dominant Jat Sikh community of Punjab and the largely Dalit Sikh followers of the sect

Reuters Faith World yesterday carried an interesting account of a conference held Sunday in Paris at which two Muslim chaplains, one from the U.S. Navy and one from the French National Gendarmerie (which is governed by the Defense Ministry), discussed the special problems dealt with by Muslim imams in military chaplaincy roles. The conference, “Religious Diversity in Everyday Life in France,” was sponsored by the U.S.-based Council on International Educational Exchange and the Institute for the Study of Islam and the Societies of the Muslim World in Paris.

Sometimes I am prone to forgetting that everything is terrible, and in those moments, if I am brave enough to re-embrace reality, I turn to Everything is Terrible to remind me of the world’s vast stores of the terrible. Today, a visit to those edifying climes produced a palpable hit only a few posts in: a bracing message from no less than the guy who portrayed TV’s Spock and some English-sounding guy that Y2K would likely spell ruin for everything we labeled civilization circa 1999

I’m currently in Denver, attending the Annual Meeting of the Law and Society Association, where I presented a paper this morning on legal strategies for affecting corporate behavior, premised on the idea that corporations should be viewed as social and moral actors, and not just economic ones. One of the other speakers on the panel on which I presented, gave a paper addressing speculators – what we think about them and about how speculation in the market ought to be addressed. She suggested several possible reasons for why we have a reaction against speculators including that they lack long-term interest, they are not interested in the substance of the investment, but only care about their financial return, and they are only playing a game of arbitrage, with no substantive interest.

Continued from Objection to Biblical Inerrancy #7 An eighth objection is that inerrancy is too complicated . Daniel Day complains that the inerrancy claim prima facie is that there is no error anywhere of any kind, but then its claimants “undermine its claims with exclusions and exceptions so as to permit wiggle room for this or that indisputable finding of science or for some post-biblical social revolution, proving that the initial ground staked out was too high.” [1] Day is talking about Article XIII of the Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy , a paragraph on the phenomena of Scripture. We affirm the propriety of using inerrancy as a theological term with reference to the complete truthfulness of Scripture

Recently, readers of the Washington Post have been subjected to large and unhealthy helpings of treacle during breakfast, to the point where we're starting to think about keeping a bucket handy. A couple of weeks ago, it was television columnist Tom Shales who had readers sputtering into their cornflakes with an account of President Obama at a press conference that read like a 12-year-old girl’s description of Edward Cullen . The star of The Barack Obama Show was “comfortingly cool and collected,” “articulate,” “friendly,” “accessible,” “gracious to a fault,” a man of “perfect comic timing,” and, on the whole, “flabbergasting.” Apparently he had even developed superpowers, as Shales swore that Obama “made eye contact with us folks at home” through the television screen

At the end of the twentieth century, the battlefields over the inerrancy of the Bible were as wide as the Pacific Theater and as fully engaged in close combat as Antietam. Since the commencement of the twenty-first, the battle has continued as stark and entrenched as Somme. In the cacophony of that battlefield, with its shrill war whoops, its booming weaponry, and its great effusion of ink, there is one narrow but significant target of interest on the battlefield of inerrancy

From Examiner.com: Reports say that Stephenie Meyer ’s hit book series Twilight , New Moon , Eclipse , and Breaking Dawn have been removed from a religious bookstore (The Deseret)’s shelves because it has been “met with mixed review” by the store’s customers. According to the report, the store is owned by the Mormon church, and its primary revenue stems from religious book sales. While The Host remains on the shelves, says the report, the Twilight series has been taken from this Mormon bookseller’s listing
