Etymology[edit] Scholars do not agree about its etymology,[1] but it is theorized that Mammon derives from Late Latin mammon, from Greek "μαμμωνάς", Syriac mámóna ("riches"),[2] Aramaic mamon ("riches, money"),[1][3] a loanword from Mishnaic Hebrew 'ממון (mmôn) meaning money,[4][5][6] wealth,[7] or possessions;[8] although it may also have meant "that in which one trusts".[1] The Greek word for "Mammon", μαμμωνάς, occurs in the Sermon on the Mount (during the discourse on ostentation) and in the parable of the Unjust Steward (Luke 16:9–13).

The Best Video Player for Android. A couple other notable pros/cons I've found with BSPlayer (free vsn) and MX Player, which I agree are the top 2 Android players. I've compared both with all players mentioned in this article. - BSPlayer handles high-bitrate MKVs better than anything else and has a much lower default display brightness vs. other players (this can be a pro or con, depending on your battery life concerns) - MX Player can output much higher volume than those mentioned.

Others are ignored, and we can often learn valuable lessons from them about what is likely to lie ahead. Right now, in fact. At the moment, we are failing to commemorate the 50th anniversary of President John F Kennedy’s decision to launch the most destructive and murderous act of aggression of the post-World War II period: the invasion of South Vietnam, later all of Indochina, leaving millions dead and four countries devastated, with casualties still mounting from the long-term effects of drenching South Vietnam with some of the most lethal carcinogens known, undertaken to destroy ground cover and food crops.

Amelia: When Your 7-Year-Old Son Announces, 'I'm Gay' Considering that my son has a longstanding crush on Glee's Blaine and regularly refers to him as "my boyfriend," I thought there was a fair chance that he would someday say, "I'm gay.

Amelia: When Your 7-Year-Old Son Announces, 'I'm Gay'

" But my kid is only 7 years old. I figured I had a few years before we crossed that threshold (if we ever did), probably when he was 14 or 15. I never thought it would happen this soon. Six months ago "gay" wasn't even a word in my son's vocabulary. He has always known that some of our male friends are married to men and some of our female friends to women, and it is such a normal part of his life that he never needed a special word to describe them.

Fast-forward a few months. "Yes, I am," he said. "Am what, baby? " _lk5fgmhMJb1qzgtxqo1_500.jpg (500×393) French Press Tips. ~ Why a French Press?

Zephyr jailbreak tweak adds multitasking gestures to iPhone – Cell Phones & Mobile Device Technology News & Updates

Every time you want to use multitasking to switch apps, you have to double-tap the lone physical button on the device’s front face. Apple has implemented multitasking gestures for the iPad, but has done no such thing for the iPhone or iPod touch. You can rack another one up for the jailbreak community, as it has released a new app that allows you to multitask on the iPhone with single-finger gestures. Zephyr is the creation of Cydia developer chpwn, and the premise is simple: swipe up from the bottom of the screen to bring up the app-switcher (normally activated with a double tap of the home button), and swipe left to right to switch back and forth between recent apps.

Apple has likely opted out of iPhone and iPod touch multitasking gestures due to the small size of the screen. AndroidLoader: Jailbreak Tweak Brings Android-Like All Apps Launcher to iPhone. Developer Surenix has updated AndroidLoader for iOS 5.

AndroidLoader: Jailbreak Tweak Brings Android-Like All Apps Launcher to iPhone

AndroidLoader is a jailbreak tweak that allows you to access all the apps installed on your iPhone with a single tap, just like Android’s All Apps launcher. AndroidLoader auto hides the iPhone dock and replaces it with a new circular button. You can either tap or swipe on that button to access all the apps installed on your iPhone. Tapping in the iPhone dock area around the circular button, brings up the auto-hidden iPhone dock. You can exit the all apps launcher view by tapping on the Home button or tapping on the circular button.

Microsoft founder Bill Gates has joined the fight in support of proposed U.S. rules that would require certain oil, gas and mining companies to disclose what they pay to nations whose resources they develop, in the face of strong lobbying from the energy industry.

Bill Gates presses SEC to issue strict oil, mining disclosure rules

The Securities and Exchange Commission’s proposed rules would require companies listed with the agency to disclose what they pay to the U.S. and foreign governments where they mine and drill commercially. The oil and gas industry, including its main trade group the American Petroleum Institute, have fought for exemptions to the rules, saying they could put U.S. companies at a competitive disadvantage. Gates told the SEC to finalize rules that don’t bow to industry pressure to include certain disclosure exemptions. “The Commission has a mandate to implement final rules reflecting the clear intent and reporting requirements established by Congress,” Gates wrote in a letter. Bill Gates letter. Eggcorn. In linguistics, an eggcorn is an idiosyncratic substitution of a word or phrase for a word or words that sound similar or identical in the speaker's dialect (sometimes called oronyms).

The new phrase introduces a meaning that is different from the original, but plausible in the same context, such as "old-timers' disease" for "Alzheimer's disease".[1] This is as opposed to a malapropism, where the substitution creates a nonsensical phrase. Classical malapropisms generally derive their comic effect from the fault of the user, while eggcorns are errors that exhibit creativity or logic.[2] Eggcorns often involve replacing an unfamiliar, archaic, or obscure word with a more common or modern word ("baited breath" for "bated breath").[3] Examples[edit] 21st century dating problems. 3jWvw.jpg (500×669) The Pirate Bay's Peter Sunde Questions Why We Let Dying Industries Dictate Terms Of Democracy.
