Congregation Bat-Tzion is a religious assembly of those who believe in Elohim, the creator, the G-d whose name is יהוה [Yahu'ah], and in His Messiah, Yeshua, The Son of Elohim.
Congregation Bat-Tzion meets weekly on the Shabbat [Sabbath], the seventh day of the week, at 9:30 AM for prayer, 10:30 am for music rehearsal, 11:00 am for Hebrew, 11:45 for Torah lessons, and 1:00 pm to 3:00 PM for worship.
Congregation Bat-Tzion also meets weekly on the 5th day of the week at 7 PM for Torah Study.
Congregation Bat-Tzion meets throughout the year at various times appointed by Yah for holy convocations, or the assembly of His people at His appointed times, as expressed in VaYikra 23 [Leviticus 23]. Pesakh, Matzot, Bikkurim, Shavuot, Yom Teruah, Yom HaKippurim, and Sukkot. Further, the congregation meets at Khannukah [John 10] and Purim [Esther].
Congregation Bat-Tzion meets at various times "from house to house" both to open and close the Shabbat together [the evenings of the sixth and seventh days, respectively], and for various other opportunities of fellowship.
Congregational meetings are private, but all men, women and children—whether they are believers or not—are welcome to attend our services, as long as they are willing to conform to our practices and not disrupt our way of life and style of worship.
When a person repents and dedicates their life to Messiah and His Torah, we immerse that person according to Torah and perform Smikhah to ask for the imparting of the Ruakh HaKodesh. When a person attending believes they have a valid conversion experience by some other method or sequence, we acknowledge that the Scriptures do record some exceptions to this, and that issue must be worked out between the believer and Elohim.
Food described as unclean in VaYikra 11 should not be brought to any congregational meal nor served to other members without their knowledge and consent.
Drunkenness, theft, fighting, inappropriate dress, inappropriate sexual contact, smoking, or the use of mind- altering drugs at any congregation meeting or other congregational event are not permitted because they are a danger to those attending and a bad example to everyone.
People attending services and activities of the congregation agree not to attempt to sue the congregation or any member of it in a government court but will use the procedure found in Matthew 18:15-17 and the congregation's membership covenant.
Congregation Bat-Tzion performs wedding ceremonies only for its members, and only for male and female unions, as Elohim created male and female, and instructed us concerning marriage and physical union only between male and female. While we respect others' freedom to choose, we also assert that we are free to choose not to participate in something that violates His written word.
Membership in the local congregation is legitimized for those who regularly keep the Sabbath's congregational worship more than 25 times per year and who will publicly acknowledge that they have committed their lives to יהוה and His Messiah and Torah, agreeing to all the tenets and publicly declaring that agreement to the congregation on or about the anniversary of their first year of attendance. Such membership is not a "recognition of conversion", but a commitment to serve in the local congregation and walk in peace with its members.
People who are disruptive to congregational meetings, who attempt to teach false doctrine or doctrines contrary to these basic tenets, or who openly practice sin [Gal 5:19-21, 2 Tim 3:1-5] may be removed as members and/or barred from attending according to the procedure given in Matthew 18:15–17 and the membership covenant.
Hebrews 6:1-2 lists the basic tenets of faith necessary for all who fellowship with Bat-Tzion. Below is an explanation of those six tenets.
First, we believe the most important facet of faith in the Messiah is understanding who He is, and understanding who יהוה G-d is. One cannot do this without the Word of G-d. There are many people claiming that they know who G-d is, and that they know who the Messiah is, and that they know the way to G-d; but Yeshua prophesied that this would happen, saying "Many will come in My name saying I am the Messiah, and deceive many." Indeed, many do come in His name, and they do say that "Jesus" is the Messiah, but do they know Him? The evidence of the knowledge of G-d is alignment/agreement with His Word.
Who does the Word say is the Messiah? Our Messiah is a Jew. His name is Yeshua. His full name is יהוה [Yahu'ah] Yeshua HaMashiakh. He is the only begotten Son of G-d. What god? Who is G-d? " יהוה G-d", the Creator, the G-d of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: He is G-d; and only He. His Name is יהוה (Yahu'ah): a name HE has conferred to His Son (Heb 1:4, John 17:11, Acts 2:36). His WORD, finally written down, existed in G-d in the beginning and proceeded forth from Him, and was conceived in a woman, and became a body: Yeshua, His Son, the only man ever born solely of a woman by the power of His Ruakh. He is the only sinless man ever to live; He is the Son of G-d . He came out of His Father, having been sent into the world on many occasions before His natural birth, in many forms, as recorded in scripture. He became a body, flesh. While on earth, He was fully man, and was subjected to every temptation, but succumbed to none, because He came with the 'Q'noma,' the innate nature of His Father, and NOT the 'nature' of Adahm: Man; He was fully human, flesh and blood, but He was not conceived in sin, and did not possess the fallen, sin-nature of all mankind. Further, He was equal with G-d His Father in authority: יהוה G-d had given Him all authority on earth. He demonstrated this authority in many ways, according to the gospels, our written account of His life, not the least of which is by His living according to Torah, the written Word of G-d. His final proof of His authority from the Father was His resurrection from the dead. He was slain by the world, not by the Jew only; slain by His love for us and His voluntary sacrifice of Himself for the sin of all mankind. He was slain on Passover, buried during the feast of Unleavened Bread, and He rose from the dead on the feast of Firstfruits. He ascended into heaven some forty days later, and on the fiftieth day after Bikkurim [Firstfruits – when Messiah rose from the dead], on Shavuot, He sent His Ruakh HaKodesh (Holy breath/spirit) to the eyewitnesses of His resurrection and ascension, who gave an oral and written account of what they had seen and heard, and with whose witness we agree, as does history. "G-d has raised this Yeshua to Life….therefore, let all Yisra'el be assured of this: G-d has made this Yeshua whom you executed on the stake to be both יהוה and Messiah". (Acts 2:32-36) This is a very particular Yeshua, not just any Joshua born in Yisra'el, but a very particular one. Not just any "Jesus" whom the world may preach: but the Yeshua who is the living Torah, who pours out power from heaven for those who know Him; the one who is still a Jew (Rev 5), and has not abandoned the Scriptures (the Torah, Genesis to Revelation.) He is the one who is divine and human, then and now ("I proceeded forth and came out of my Father") . He is the one by whom G-d created all things. He is the "breathed" Word to mankind, through whose will the Holy Breath/Spirit (Ruakh HaKodesh) flows to us. He is the one who is seated at the right hand of the Almighty G-d, and will judge the world according to the Torah! Every soul will give an account of his actions for and against G-d's will, which is ONLY defined in Torah (1John 3:4).
Knowing this, we at Congregation Bat-Tzion have found joy in serving יהוה differently than the world. We serve יהוה Yeshua HaMashiakh with joy, by celebrating His Sabbaths and the other Feasts together in study, worship, and fellowship. We serve Yah by keeping the rest of His feasts in their Appointed Seasons, on the days He prescribed. We serve Him by living our lives separately from the world, yet without alienating or judging the world: all are sinners. That separation is clearly defined in His Word: Yeshua Himself prayed that WE would be sanctified by His Word! (John 17:17) His prayer for us is that we would obey the Father and His Word, which He came to reveal, not repeal, and that we would prove that our obedience is from the heart by loving one another in it. When we have done our job, and the Gentile believers are "full", He will then appear before all mankind on Yom Kippur (The Day of יהוה , most call the 'Day of the L-rd') and judge those who reject Him and His Word. There is too much blur in religion that is too closely linked to disobedience. Do we believe in grace? ABSOLUTELY! But NOT that it licenses us to sin (to go against Torah). But that grace purges us of all sin, and while believing yet failing, it meets the Torah where we fall short (sin), fulfilling righteousness in us. But, we have found the Power of G-d in obedience to His Word and to truth, the right understanding of His Word through HIM! Simple obedience! Joyful Obedience! Obedience comes when we put down our own will, and obey His Voice! All of us at Bat-Tzion have known what it is to know the Messiah and not know His Power. We now know the difference. We now know Him in such a way as not to walk through life ordinarily, trodden down, enslaved to sin, confused, et cetera. We're humbled by His Word every day, and in awe of His Power. This, we believe! Barukh Haba B'shem יהוה ! B'emeth, bo, Adonai Yeshua!
12. We believe that the beginning and end of the months of the year are established by the observance of the "new moon crescent." Yisra'el went into error when Hillel II, a Rabbi who did not believe in the Messiah of Elohim, created a calculation by which to observe the feasts. The "church" went into the same error when Constantine replaced the Jewish feasts with PAGAN rites and rituals and created a similar calculated calendar, the Gregorian calendar followed by western society and the church. The moedim (holy days) are determined in the Torah by the new moon and the observance of ripened barley in Yisra'el before the season of Pesakh, and not by calculations, Jewish or Gentile. No man or organization may change the seasons of the Almighty, though by the spirit of anti-Messiah many have tried to alter the holy days. This spirit overwhelmed the church in 325, and has since altered all the holy days, desecrating the Sabbath of יהוה and all His feasts, replacing them with a mixture of biblical truth and rampant PAGAN ritual and human error. This is the sin of the golden calf repeated by the church. Bat-Tzion categorically denies all pagan feasts and their influence on our worship of the יהוה of the Bible and of His Messiah, Yeshua. Exodus 12, Leviticus 23; Numbers 27.21; Daniel 7:25 We further believe that the Sabbath day is the seventh and final day of every weekly cycle as was established in creation by יהוה . It was revealed to us with the extra portion of manna provided on the day before each Sabbath by יהוה in the wilderness, and has been perpetuated since by the Jews, and therefore cannot be discerned by any other method. Only by keeping track of the weekly cycle over the generations is sufficient for keeping the command to "remember the Sabbath day" in regard to its start and finish on the 7th day. Any other means of trying to set the Sabbath day, such as watching the sun, moon and stars, is not scriptural and will not work in determining the Sabbath. Genesis 1.1-2.3; Exodus 16:13-36; Exodus 20, Leviticus 23.
29. We believe that forgiveness of sin is provided by G-d's unmerited favor (grace). One is to go before G-d in prayer with a humble and contrite heart, asking for the forgiveness of one's sin and accepting the blood atoning sacrifice of Yeshua as the necessary blood offering for the forgiveness of sin. When one approaches G-d in prayer with a humble and contrite heart, one is displaying the act of t'shuva (repentance). T'shuva is the turning from one's sin, turning toward G-d and his instructions, and seeking His ways. G-d extends His forgiveness to those whom He has called and who have turned to Him seeking forgiveness of sin. This forgiveness of sin is not through any work or action of the sinner, but is a free gift provided by G-d to the sinner so that no one can boast. It is necessary to accept Yeshua's blood atoning sacrifice for the forgiveness of sin: there is no other way to have right standing with G-d. Continued trust in this forgiveness affects SALVATION for the one who trusts. Salvation comes through trust [most call faith]: always has, always will. But trust produces obedience, always has, always will. But even people of trust err, always have, always will; and sin requires the shedding of blood, always has, always will; those before Messiah's blood was shed put their trust in יהוה for salvation; yet they offered sacrifices when they erred. There was no individual offering for adultery and other heinous sins, EXCEPT UPON YOM KIPPUR, when the JUDGMENT was made for ALL THE NATIONS. The High Priest offered a final sacrifice of atonement for himself, and for all the people, FOR THAT YEAR. If those caught in sin obtained MERCY from the congregation for those more grave sins, then they were FORGIVEN upon Yom Kippur, because they applied TRUST TOWARD YAH, but they STILL had to offer the offering, UNTIL MESSIAH shed His blood.
So, they obtained forgiveness because of the trust they put in יהוה when they shed the animal's blood, transferring their sin onto the animal by smikha [laying hands on it]. They could not be relieved of the guilt, but did trust in forgiveness and eternal salvation through יהוה. The remnant trusted continually, and those who did so by trust in יהוה and the hope of eternal salvation were SAVED. Those who did not do so by trust were forgiven because of their place in Yisra'el, not immediately judged THAT YEAR, but yet may NOT have been eternally saved. They were "covered", and thereby Yisra'el and the world was protected from immediate judgment by the obedience of the remnant. In the same way, MESSIAH's offering 'covers' the WHOLE WORLD, and so G-d has not yet punished the world, because Messiah shed His own blood…BUT, ONLY those who have abiding trust in יהוה that produces the evidence of obedience to His Word, and in His FINAL offering, actually receive SALVATION, which is different from and goes beyond "forgiveness".
30. The Brit Khadashah [Renewed Covenant] in Messiah Yeshua brings with it a new creation of the human spirit. The Torah [Law/Teaching] of יהוה is planted inside the believer so that the Ruakh HaKodesh may indwell there. The Ruakh begins to write the Torah on the heart of the one who trusts, so that he may know יהוה . [Jer 31:33] An external immersion in water (tevilah) is performed to declare that this inward, life-imparting event has taken place. Jeremiah 31:31-34, Ezekiel 39:29.
31. The various enablements (gifts) of the Ruakh HaKodesh are given with authority to all those who ask יהוה and obey His commandments. The Promise of Abba, an extra imbuement of power and boldness for witnessing, is an immersion (spiritual tevilah) in the Ruakh HaKodesh. Each follower should seek to be filled with the various enablements of the Ruakh, through which Yeshua gives them as Abba wishes. Isaiah 28:11-12, Luke 11:13, Acts 1:4-5; 2:4; 5: 32, 1 Cor 12: 1-13, Eph 1:13.
32. The people of Yahu'ah are a holy Kahal [Assembly/Ekklesia] congregation, which is not of the world, in order to gather centrally and celebrate Him at His appointed holy Feasts, and to shine as lights of truth in the darkness, and to be a royal priesthood which praises His Name. Exodus 19:6, Leviticus 23, Matthew 16:18, 1 Peter 2:9.
a.) to be followers of Yeshua the Messiah, until we mature into the example He left us. Ephesians 4:13.
b.) to be holy (separate from the world) as our Abba is holy. Therefore, we are to learn and act on those things which makes us holy in His sight. Leviticus 11:44-45, Ephesians 5:27, Matt 5:17-19.
c.) to be righteous (right decision making) and godly (forgiving) in this world. Titus 2:12.
d.) to be clean, first in our conscious inner man, and then also in our outward walk accordingly as we grow in the Ruakh [Spirit] and understanding of the Word. Psalm 51:10, 1 Thessalonians 4:7.
39. The practice of laying on of hands is to be carefully administered not only to the Body, but to the lost. For the Body, the gifts and power of the Ruakh HaKodesh can be administered through the laying on of hands at salvation and first immersion, at ordination/appointment to a specific office or task, and at times of immersion for repentance. For the hurting member of the Body, and for the world, the laying on of hands by one immersed in the Ruakh HaKodesh can bring healing to the body, the mind, and the soul, but it is not to be flaunted for show, nor done indiscriminately, but in discernment and obedience to Abba.
43. Yeshua will judge all mankind of all acts and words ever committed, according to the Torah. He will decide the sentence for punishment, and all those not meeting His standard will be sent away from His presence, into outer darkness and eternal punishment of the sin. Matthew 25:31-46, Revelation 20.
44. The final plan for the Yisra'el of G-d is to bring the remnant of the faithful Jewish people, and the remnant of those believers who were formerly Gentiles, but recovered from the world by trust, back together and united into one holy people under one Shepherd, namely Yeshua, the Messiah, thus completing the unification of the People of יהוה . This is a necessary part of the restoration of all things spoken by the prophets. Hosea 1-2, John 17, Romans 9:26, Ephesians 2, Acts 3:21.


Religion and Secularity: 99% of the Turkish population is Moslem. However, everyone in Turkey has freedom of religion and beliefs. The first phases in the introduction of secularism were the abolition of the Caliphate and the Ministry of Sheria and Pious Foundations on March 4th, 1924, followed by the introduction of separate educational and judicial systems, the hat reform, the closure of dervish retreats and religious sects, the acceptance of a Sunday weekend holiday rather than the Moslem Friday and finally the adoption of the principle of secularism in the constitution on 1937. In secular Turkey, all religious affairs are carried out by a central government organisation affiliated to the Prime Ministry, namely the Department of Religious Affairs.
Did you know Turkey that Is the origin of the names of Paris, Philadelphia and Europe.

Shell to charter LNG-fuelled tankers from AET Tankers
AET Inc. and Shell International Trading and Shipping Company Thursday formalised arrangements for the long-term charter of AET's two newbuild liquefied natural gas (LNG) dual-fuelled Aframax tankers.
Both 113,000 dwt vessels are currently being built by Samsung Heavy Industries in South Korea and are due for delivery from Q3 of 2018. Shell will take both vessels on a long-term charter commencing in the fourth quarter of 2018.
"We took the decision to begin building LNG dual-fuelled Aframax vessels some time ago and these two Aframaxes are amongst the first to take their place in our global fleet," said AET's President and CEO, Capt. Rajalingam Subramaniam.
"Shell is a longstanding and highly valued partner, and we have been working together on these time charter arrangements for quite some time. The fact that Shell has agreed to charter our new ships is a true testament to their commitment to thriving throughout the energy transition and will encourage AET to forge ahead with our commitment to operate a future fleet, where at least half of our ships are fuelled with LNG."
Both Malaysian flagged vessels will be fitted with twin LNG tanks, allowing them to trade worldwide on LNG. Use of the fuel allows the vessels to operate in 0.1% sulphur SECA regions of North America, Northwest Europe and Asia, and ensures full compliance with the incoming 2020 sulphur cap.
"These two LNG fuelled vessels will help Shell Trading move crude, principally in the Atlantic basin," says Mark Quartermain, Vice President, Shell Crude Trading.
"LNG is a credible marine fuel and will play an important role in our fleet as we introduce cleaner and more efficient vessels. As emissions standards tighten we continue to work with forward thinking companies like AET to support lower emission transportation solutions."

So you've thought of an excellent idea and a vision to develop a nonprofit organization. Yet where do you begin? Below we have actually supplied your guidebook to obtain a brand-new nonprofit off the ground with sustainability constantly in mind florida legal marijuana dispensaries florida legal marijuana dispensaries.
The process of developing and also incorporating a nonprofit resembles a company, besides a few differences. florida legal marijuana dispensaries A nonprofit can not be formed from any one of the complying with entities: Sole Proprietorship, Limited Liability Company or a Company "C" or "S".
A nonprofit, like a company, is a legal entity separate from the owner( s); it can endure the life of its founder( s) and also can exist infinitely. Unlike a corporation that is had florida legal marijuana dispensaries by its investors, a nonprofit does not have shareholders as well as is not possessed by any individual, yet is taken care of by the board of directors. The various other distinctive distinction in between a company as well as a nonprofit is just how the revenue is taxed. Currently, let's take you through the procedure.
Tip One: Employee a Board of Directors. A board must consist of varied representation from the following: financing, legal, somebody that represents or is thought about an expert with regard to your objective, somebody who represents the people you exist to offer, regional corporate executive( s) – florida legal marijuana dispensaries especially from a company who has the tendency to fund organizations like yours, community/professional volunteer( s) – individuals with a network of riches, and also an additional nonprofit executive. Ensure that you being employed description in position which plainly suggests board member assumptions, including all information related to your nonprofit. Expectations florida legal marijuana dispensaries must include administration, financial backing, and hands-on management. You do not want a board of supervisors that really feels "simply turning up" meets their duty. Finally, you never ever stop searching for great board members. Your board should have a set period to make certain there is always space for fresh faces, suggestions, and also links.
Tip Two: Development Meeting. The development meeting is a conference of the preliminary board of supervisors to elect on including and seeking the tax obligation exemption status along with to develop the purpose of the nonprofit. During this conference and also all subsequent board conferences, make sure to take conference minutes to show a consentaneous arrangement by the board prior to moving forward florida legal marijuana dispensaries.
Tip Three: Calling Your Nonprofit. Name option is essential because it determines your function as well as produces your identification as well as identity and also brand name. Select your organization name like you select your child's name-repeat it frequently, pretend to address the phone using the name to hear if it has a wonderful ring to it. You can select practically florida legal marijuana dispensaries any name you want for your organization as long as it is not currently being used. You could examine name accessibility on your state's governing internet site to see if it is readily available prior to you submit it. Normally, this is the secretary of state's workplace.
Tip 4: Integrate. The incorporation procedure resembles that of a firm. The Articles of Incorporation are prepared and submitted with the state's controling body; again, normally the Secretary of State's workplace. Some states have sample write-ups which you can obtain and use in preparing your short articles, nonetheless, meeting the state's minimum filing requirement does not always suggest you satisfy the Internal Revenue Service's requirements. florida legal marijuana dispensaries Make certain you appropriately and also very carefully draft articles of consolidation that satisfy the needs of the IRS if you prepare to request federal tax exception; which you will. There is a filing cost associated with this process paid to the state. The cost for the state is generally around $100; the filing fee for your tax-exempt status is around $850.
Tip Five: The Laws. You are called for to prepare laws for your nonprofit. Laws are the rules utilized by the board to regulate your nonprofit. A lot of states do not need a duplicate of the bylaws to be filed with the state. No matter filing demands, it is a state legislation needs that a bundled entity have actually composed bylaws. The IRS will certainly need a duplicate of the laws to be filed with your application for tax-exemption.
Tip Six: Acquire your Federal Employer Recognition Number (EIN). Once you've completed your documentation, you will need to look for an Employer Recognition Number (EIN) likewise called a federal tax obligation ID from the Internal Revenue Service. You could do this promptly as well as quickly online. Do not forget to publish out a duplicate for your permanent documents. You will also require a copy to send to the Internal Revenue Service with your tax exemption application. To apply for your EIN visit the IRS's site. It is essential to note that simply holding an EIN number does not mean you are approved as a 501( c) 3 by your state or the IRS. You can raise money for your company before approval. florida legal marijuana dispensaries Nevertheless, be mindful that typically, approving companies call for an approved 501( c) 3 and also will certainly request for a duplicate of your accepted standing letter.
Tip Seven: Application for tax exemption to the IRS. After you have integrated your nonprofit and acquired your EIN, then you could start your tax exemption application to the Internal Revenue Service making use of Internal Revenue Service Form 1023. The form can be acquired at the IRS internet site. This is a detailed application. You have to very carefully review the instructions, learn about the legislations of compliance, complete the application, as well as collect & set up the accessories. Hiring a specialist to assist you is extremely recommended. If you are trying to do this by yourself, the IRS approximates a couple of hundred hrs are necessary to finish this application. After your preliminary testimonial, finish the application to the 'letter' of their instruction. If your application is unclear or missing crucial information, it will be sent back to you for more information. If it does not fit within the tax exception laws, it will certainly be refuted. As pointed out above, there is a cost related to this application; around $850. The fee modifications regularly, so be sure to inspect the filing cost before you submit the application. The Internal Revenue Service is presently taking between 6-8 months to appoint the application to an excluded company specialist. If your application is approved, you will obtain a "Letter of Determination" that categorizes your company as tax excluded. The great aspect of this long process is that the date of your exception is retroactive to the day that the IRS initially got your application. This suggests that if you did receive a contribution calling for 501( c) 3 condition prior to your approval, you will ultimately remain in compliance with the financing company as well as the Internal Revenue Service. Yet, it is not recommended to increase funds externally up until you obtain your Letter of Decision.
State Tax Obligation Exception. Most states identify as well as accept the government tax obligation exemption "Letter of Decision." However, there is a handful of states that have added state requirements to be income tax obligation excluded for state objectives. You will have to consult your state's controling body to see if there are added state demands.
Ongoing Compliance. After you are formally included as a nonprofit company, there are a handful of points that you have to do to keep conformity with state and also federal requirements. Some states need a yearly report. Most states need a yearly business revival, and also some states do not call for state income taxes to be filed unless the nonprofit obtains a specific threshold revenue. As you could see, each state operates in a different way. The secret is to keep yourself informed and current with the needs of your certain state. On the government side, IRS Type 990 or a variation of Kind 990 is called for to be submitted each year. This is the annual income tax return form for nonprofit companies regardless of earnings. Presently, the law states that if you fail to submit Form 990 for three successive years, the IRS will instantly revoke your nonprofit standing. If this takes place, then the nonprofit could not obtain tax-deductible payments. Furthermore, you will certainly have to reapply for tax obligation exemption once again. You have actually taken the time to construct your nonprofit, so put in the time to take care of it and remain certified.
Following month search for a step by step process to elevate those initial bucks for your freshly included nonprofit.

Find great information on how to fund raising and placed the plan at work from the very start.

Ensure those you aid, those that volunteer, as well as yourself are having a blast and also your nonprofit venture will always live.

Wow! Check out the multiple facets on this incredible hoppered octahedral gold crystal nugget that was recovered in the jungles of Venezuela. The location is Zapata, just outside of Ikabaru, near Santa Elena de Uaire in Venezuela. This one is spectacular. It will be a long time before you see a natural gold nugget with such a distinct geometric shape and formation. It was purchased by me directly from a man who buys them from the Venezuelan miners who make their living recovering these gorgeous gold crystals. It is 3/8" (9 mm) long and is very fat. Look at the incredible well defined multiple facets at such distinct angles. And check out the hoppered pockets in the middle of the nugget. How often have you seen that? I have only seen it a couple of times. This rare and unique gold specimen and would make a stunning addition to any gold nugget collection. Due to the extreme rarity it also makes a very good investment.

Further Cautions From The General Conference
>Home >Righteousness By Faith >Righteousness By Faith Questions Answered >Is Rebaptism Ever Necessary? >Further Cautions From The General Conference
Rebaptism
(No Author Listed)
WE are informed that certain brethren in the West are making use of the Bible reading on this subject, which appeared in the REVIEW of April 7, to stir up strife and division. This is wrong, and, we think, without any occasion. While it is generally held among our people that rebaptism is proper under certain circumstances, as in cases of first conversion to the full understanding and intent of the law of God, or of restoration from a state and period of complete apostasy from the truth, it is also held and taught that this matter should be left to the individual conscience of every one, to act as he or she may feel that duty demands, and that no pressure should he brought to bear upon any to lead them to act contrary to, or even in advance of, their own convictions in the matter. Yet it often occurs that persons, under the influence of a powerful religious experience, by which they are conscious of being newly converted, feel that it would be a privilege to be rebaptized, and desire to do so, but yet hardly know on what ground the step could be justified. The reading above referred to was designed to set forth the grounds upon which one could act in such cases.
In regard to the freedom which is accorded to every one on this question, the following action taken by the General Conference in its twenty-fifth annual session, in Battle Creek, Nov. 18 to Dee. 6, 1886, and reported in the 1887 Year Book, p. 45, in conclusive :—
"Whereas, We learn with regret that in some places certain persons have urged the subject of rebaptism as necessary to salvation and—
"Whereas, This has caused trouble and division in some churches, and the mind of this body is asked ; therefore—
"Resolved, That upon the subject of rebaptism of those who have been properly baptized before embracing the message, it is the teaching and practice of our people, founded upon the Bible, as we believe, that they be received into our churches without rebaptism if they themselves are satisfied with their former baptism, though it is the privilege of such to be rebaptized whenever they shall desire it, as most of our people do sooner or later; but that it should not be urged upon any one as necessary to salvation."
If any persist in acting contrary to this instruction, they must be classed with those of whom the apostle speaks in Rom. 16 : 17.—Review and Herald, July 7, 1891

Buttman Trial: Judge Strikes Corrupted Porn Evidence
by Amanda Hess July 15th, 2010 September 30th, 2020
This morning, Judge Richard Leon decided to strike the government's corrupted porn exhibit in its obscenity case against John "Buttman" Stagliano. The trailer for Belladonna's Fetish Fanatic 5 will no longer be considered evidence in this case—-and the count against Stagliano for making an obscene image "available to a person under 18 years of age" is similarly kaput. Echoing the statement of Storm Squirters 2 star Angela Stone that "a lesson lived is a lesson learned," Leon instructed the government to "let this be a valuable lesson" for future prosecutions. "What's good enough for government work" isn't necessarily good enough for a criminal trial, he told the court. In the future, he warned the FBI and government prosecutors to "get your ducks in a row" on the technological end before prosecuting someone for a serious offense like obscenity.

What is a sitemap and why do you need it?
Moreover, whenever your site gets updated, your sitemap notifies search engines about it. There are two types of audiences a sitemap is useful to – site visitors and web spiders, and there are also two types of sitemaps: HTML and XML sitemaps.
HTML sitemap is for visitors – it helps find information on the page, and it's usually located in the website's footer.
XML sitemap is for web crawlers – it tells them which parts of the site should be indexed as well as the hierarchy and priority of the site content. The instructions to the sitemap are provided in robots.txt file.


Please leave them here. You cannot change what you have done!
What you can do is influence the present, and plan for the future. Please hear me clearly; you cannot change the past. Leave your regrets here. Change your present and plan for the future.
Have you planned for the future? What would happen if you found out tomorrow that you had incurable brain cancer? What if tragedy struck? Tyler never knew the was coming.
Like you and I, it seems that the sudden tragedy always happens to someone else, but it doesn't; it's affecting our lives today.
Young or old, death could be a moment away. Some people deal with that scary thought by deciding that they don't want to think about it. Tyler knows that that's a lie.
Some of you never walk into a church if it weren't for a day like today. Some of you might even have shuttered when you came in today. Maybe you have bad experiences in church. I imagine that some of you doubt God exists.
Tyler was pretty private about her faith in God. She didn't talk to many people about God. She told us that she believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God who died on the cross and rose again. She said that sometimes her life was committed to Jesus Christ, but that she didn't talk about her faith to many people.
If that surprises you, you're not alone. She talked about a lot of things, but not her faith.
The Bible says that "salvation is found in no one else" other than Jesus Christ. We receive that salvation by trusting in Jesus who died in our place for the forgiveness of our sins. When we trust Jesus, the Son of God, we get a guarantee. Our future is secure, we can count on absolutely nothing here on earth accept that we will die, but God has guaranteed that by faith we can join him in heaven when we die.
Some of you might think that you're not good enough, not religious enough or whatever, but only the sinless Son of God was good enough to save us sinners, and no amount of our ugly deep secrets can keep us away. We will never be good enough to earn God's forgiveness, and we'll never be so bad he doesn't want us.
You will die. Someday there will be a group of people like us gathering in your memory. Please plan for the future. God is calling you to ask him for forgiveness.
When I talk to God I'm very simple. If you want to talk to God you can do so too. I like to pray "I'm sorry", "Thank you", Please." I'm sorry for what I have done. Thank you for being willing to forgive me. Please help me to live differently.
My deepest hope for you is that someday we will all be gathered together again with no tears in our eyes rejoicing that we can be with Tyler again. She will be there whole, smiling, and pain-free. As she see us coming I can imagine her smile. Tyler will run up to us with one of her great big hugs! Then we'll know, it is her, for sure.


Spring is the perfect time for a quick escape, as the weather (finally!) starts to warm up but sweltering summer heat is still a few months away. We've rounded up our favorite destinations for a spring getaway this year to help you beat the tourist crowds, take advantage of inexpensive flights, and skip the rainy season.
Colombia is often overlooked as a South American destination, but in the years since the civil war ended, Colombia tourism has steadily increased into the region. The country's capital city Bogotá is a beautiful metropolitan hub of culture and dining options. If you'd rather have ocean views, head to the coastal city of Cartagena for colorful homes on sandy beaches.
The California coast is one of the most scenic drives in the United States, and after being devastated by mudslides last fall, some of the most picturesque sections of Route 1 are now back open. Whether you start in San Francisco and head south to SoCal, or start in Los Angeles and head north to Napa Valley, the winding roads through Big Sur are a can't-miss.
Low-cost European airlines like Norwegian have rapidly expanded their footprint in the United States this year. With the expansion, the costs of direct flights to Dublin have significantly dropped. Spring in Ireland encompasses some of the driest months of the year, so take advantage of a $300 round trip flight to see the sun shine on the Irish coast.
After a harsh hurricane season last year, the Florida Keys are open for business. As the tourists start to trickle back, head down to the islands to take advantage of better hotel rates, hard-to-get dinner reservations, and open beaches. Fly into Miami and road trip down the coast to see each quiet inlet, pink sand beach, and tiki bar that the Keys have to offer.
Vancouver is a quick three-hour drive north from Seattle, Washington and offers some of the most amazing views of the Pacific coast. As more retailers are expanding their footprint in Canada, downtown Vancouver has become a great shopping destination. The city offers the perfect mix of sprawling landscapes for hiking and a metropolitan downtown area.
The Big Easy celebrates its 300th birthday this spring. The city has events planned throughout the year to commemorate the tricentennial and celebrate the rich history of New Orleans. Before booking your ticket, check out the tricentennial's event page to plan your visit.
Grenada is one of the most southern islands of the Caribbean and was spared the brunt of last year's hurricanes. In the past twelve months, two new luxury hotel properties started development on the island, marking the first hotel chain foray into Grenada. Be one of the first guests to experience the minimalist, modern design of Silversands when it opens this spring.
The culture and history of Santa Fe is colorful and unique. With a vibrant art scene and a southwestern aesthetic that is unique from the oft-frequented coastal cities, Santa Fe is a must-visit. There are dozens of museums, restaurants, and boutiques to explore. Visit before July to enjoy minimal rain and comfortable temperatures in the 60s.
Quantas airlines launched the first direct flight route between London and Perth this year with a goal to make the Australian city more accessible to travelers. Located on the western coast of the country, Perth is a city with beautiful beaches on the Indian Ocean and access to miles of Australian bush land. (Plus if you have a few extra vacation days, Bali is a quick three-hour flight away!).
The 2018 concert season at Red Rock Amphitheater kicks off in April and is the perfect excuse to plan a long weekend in Denver. Spend your days hiking the nearby mountains or on one of the dozens of outdoor brewery patios in the city before driving the quick 30 minutes out to Red Rocks to experience a concert in one of the country's most famous venues.

Le Robot (ou Chevalier mécanique) est un automate humanoïde imaginé par Léonard de Vinci (1452-1519) et peut-être construit par lui. Ce robot aurait été conçu à l'occasion de festivités organisées en 1495 à la cour ducale de Milan par Ludovic Sforza, le commanditaire de La Cène.

Histoire

Redécouvertes dans les années 1950, les annotations de Léonard de Vinci dans le Codex Atlanticus (f. 579r, v, 1077r, 1021r et 1021v) ainsi que sur plusieurs esquisses du Codex Madrid permettent de reconstituer le « chevalier mécanique » : revêtu d'une armure médiévale de type italo-germanique, il pouvait exécuter divers mouvements, par exemple se tenir debout, s'asseoir, agiter les bras, ouvrir et fermer la mâchoire ou encore tourner la tête. Sa bouche émettait des sons grâce à un mécanisme de percussion placé en haut du torse. L'intérieur de l'humanoïde était en bois, avec des parties en métal et en cuir, et l'ensemble était actionné par un système de poulies et de câbles.

Les proportions anatomiques s'inspiraient des recherches de Vinci relatives à l'Homme de Vitruve et les mouvements de l'automate marquaient l'aboutissement de ses précédents travaux sur la cinétique.

Autres automates

Il se peut que Vinci ait créé d'autres robots anthropomorphes. En tout état de cause, son projet d'« automobile » est documenté. Une rumeur connue, due aux récits de Vasari, Lomazzo et Michel-Ange, veut qu'il ait travaillé à un automate en forme de lion, encore qu'il n'existe aucun témoignage direct à ce sujet.

Do guys who train 141 have an advantage?
You are doing it right. I'm still paying for my college and flight training and I will be for a while. We all get the same certificate so why not get the best deal.
"It had a preflight brief, a list of items to practice on that day and a debrief"
141 mandates that. With 61, you can have that if you want/need it. Just follow a syllabus and be willing to pay for the ground time. If the CFI doesn't like the structure, find another CFI.
Well...I didn't know that much about it and I was getting my CFI for free so I wasn't going to complain. I didn't make it all the way through with her though. I eventually finished up at the P141 FBO and really enjoyed the atmosphere and training.
I always thought the major benefit to Part 141 was if you have a chance for a R-ATP license. Otherwise, wouldn't cheapest make the most sense for training (and you'd probably be doing Part 61 in that case)?
When it was started, R-ATP did not exist nor did you need it because you could legally get an airline job with 200 hours (nobody really hired that low except mesa). The colgan crash which precipitated the 1500 requirement (and R-ATP exception) was still a couple months away.
Some of the best majors seem to give some preferential treatment for completion of a structured university flight program, in addition to the R-ATP allowance.
In the past the answer was part 61 unless you had a really good reason for 141 (such as VA bennies). Today it's not so clear-cut. You could make a case either way, and probably comes down to money (whether you have any). Probably not worth saddling your young self with crushing debt for decades just to get to a major a few months or 1-2 years sooner. But if you can afford it, getting to the majors sooner will pay off in the long run.
It's probably not an accident the most respected by airlines AND the most structured schools do begin with "UNITED STATES". Not tagging on anyone, but structure ensures the right training and lessons are covered, the stage checks tend to reduce checkride jitters, The Who,e process makes for a more skilled and uniform pilot. Which is why airlines like it—they know what they are getting.

The Crocodile
THE CROCODILE, or THE WAR BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL
by Louis-Claude de Saint-Martin
US$23.95/GBP 14.99
5x8 tpb, 300 pages
I'm no volcano, lava or any kind of fossil;
I'm a living crocodile, and quite colossal.
My permanent abode is the plains of Memphis,
Without quitting them, I've come to Paris.
The Crocodile (1792) is a brilliant epic, one of those rare books of which one can say that no one ever wrote anything else like it.
The eponymous Crocodile is an attempted saboteur of the Divine Plan, an instrument of the Adversary, who claims to have created and shaped the universe—but who is, after all, a liar. As for the divinity, he remains invisible, but is described as a jeweler whose wife who supervises a Society of Independents, the members of which never meet but are always in session.
Add to these concepts a plague of books, which reduces human knowledge to a soggy pulp; the sunken city of Atalante, where everything stopped dead at the moment of its submersion; and the fact that the ultimate hope of a beleaguered Paris in the face of diabolical catastrophe is an aging Jew armed with a little box, and the cocktail is, to say the least, original and appealing to the connoisseurs of the bizarre.
Le Crocodile, ou La Guerre du bien et du mal, arrivée sous le règne de Louis XV: poème epiquo-magique en 102 chants (1792)
Introduction, Afterword and Notes by Brian Stableford.
