Bible Love Quotes

Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy.
Love is never boastful, nor conceited, nor rude;
It is not self-seeking, nor easily angered.
It keeps no record of wrongdoing.
It does not delight in evil,
But rejoices in the truth.
It always protects, trusts, hopes, and preserves.
There is nothing love cannot face;
There is no limit to its faith, hope, and endurance.
In a word, there are three things that last forever:
Faith, hope, and love;
But the greatest of them all is love.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You have anointed my head with oil; My cup verflows.

Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life, And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

Council moving more applications, faster

Gold Coast City Council is set to further expand its RiskSmart project to process more development applications, faster, lending a helping hand to industry during the current economic downturn.

First introduced on the Gold Coast in 2007, RiskSmart offers developers a five-day turnaround for quality applications which comply with all relevant Council requirements.

To date, more than 40 applications have been processed under RiskSmart.

Until now, only applications for family accommodation and low-impact industrial/warehouse development have been eligible for RiskSmart assessment, but with Council endorsement next week (2/3), attached dwellings, or townhouses, could also be considered.

Council’s City Planning Committee Chairperson, Councillor Ted Shepherd, said Council was now receiving an average of one RiskSmart application a week.

“We’d like to see that increase. In the current economic climate, application processing times could make or break a project,” Cr Shepherd said.

“The more applications we can process quickly, the more jobs are protected in the city’s construction industry.”

Cr Shepherd said the benefits also flowed to other, more complicated applications.

“It means our planners can focus more attention on processing other, more complicated development projects, helping to also speed those processing times.”

He said only quality, code-assessable applications which ‘ticked all the boxes’ and met Council’s requirements could be considered under RiskSmart.

“Developments which would have a high impact and applications which are incomplete aren’t eligible. Quite rightly, these applications can take months to thoroughly assess.

“But for those whose applications are straight forward, complete and comply with all Council’s codes, I would encourage them to look at lodging under RiskSmart. A five-day turnaround is a significant incentive.

“It not only rewards applicants who provide us with good applications for quality developments, it also helps encourage others to meet this same standard.”

Women on television

The quality of television programme has become a national disgrace. The Young women who are displeased with their appearance more likely then not can trace those feelings directly back to images from the media on television. That unrealistic representation of women that the media bombards young women with indicates that the television has become a source for a distorted understanding of gender roles among adolescent women. The images which are warping the young women's views of their own gender identity. The media on television which should in an attempt to provide more positive gender identities for adolescent women depict women on television in more realistic ways, should stop reinforcing negative stereotypes of women, and stop portraying women as sex objects in advertising.

Subsequently, the advertisers see women as parts. Teenage girls – they should be represented on television as being able to have serious conversations and feeling that their brains are as important as their looks. The result of these images is that these ideas create competition among women and divides women. Women should be represented as more than the standard stereotypical negative and simplified character viewers who generally see. The media especially television often focus on legs, breasts and mouth of a woman, so in essence women are looked at in pieces. Women are needed to be shown in occupations that are not the stereotypical, such as the occupations of nurse, maid, sales assistant, or models. Although, the girls who are coming in advertisements are often seen playing house while little boys are seen with trucks and action figures. The television should represent traditional views of society. For all the above said reasons, society should have a deep concern with the gender roles that young women are learning from television. Often Women has been shown as only being able to get what they want by using sexuality

Electronic media

In the last century, a revolution in telecommunications has greatly altered communication by providing new media for long distance communication. The first transatlantic two-way radio broadcast occurred in 1906 and led to common communication via analogue and digital media:

• Analog telecommunications include traditional telephony, radio, and TV broadcasts.

• Digital telecommunications allow for computer-mediated communication, telegraphy, and computer networks.

Communications media impact more than the reach of messages. They impact content and customs; for example, Thomas Edison had to discover that hello was the least ambiguous greeting by voice over a distance; previous greetings such as hail tended to be garbled in the transmission. Similarly, the terseness of e-mail and chat rooms produced the need for the emoticon.

Modern communication media now allow for intense long-distance exchanges between larger numbers of people. On the other hand, many traditional broadcast media and mass media favor one-to-many communication.

Inca Rope bridge

Inca Rope bridges were simple suspension bridges over canyons and gorges to present access for the Inca Empire. Bridges of this type were suitable for use since the Inca people did not use wheeled transport - traffic was incomplete to pedestrians and livestock. These bridges were an intrinsic part on the Inca road scheme and are an excellent example of Inca innovation in engineering. They were frequently used by Chasqui runners delivering messages throughout the Inca Empire.

The construction of these bridges amounted to a pair of stone anchors on each side of the canyon with immense cables of woven ichu grass linking these two pylons together. Adding to this construction, two additional cables acted as guardrails. The cables which supported the foot-path were unbreakable with plaited branches. This multi-structure system made these bridges strong enough to even carry the Spaniards while riding horses after they indoors. However, these massive bridges were so heavy that they tended to sag in the middle, and this caused them to bend in high winds.
