A man who owns a tattoo shop located downtown contacted me. More about him in a moment. After reading his response, I couldn't seem to get the subject of tattoos and body piercings out of my head. I recalled a British minister - a man in his late 50's at the time - testifying that the Lord had directed him to pierce an ear in the fashion of the bond servant referred to by the apostle Paul. Such a servant would have his ear pierced his master as a sign that he would serve him forever. When this minister obeyed, he claimed that many more young people were attending his meetings as a result. After a class I was teaching, an attendee mentioned to me that his Christian son showed up on a construction site where he encountered a heavily-tattooed man. The Christian struck up a conversation with the tattooed man who commented that he was surprised that he spoke to him as hardly anyone every did so. He believed this was because of all his tattoos, giving the Christian the in-road to min...

There was always an important role in ritual and tradition for tattoos. Women in Borneo used to tattoo symbols on their forearm indicating their particular skill. If a woman was to wear a symbol showing she was a skilled weaver, her status was then considered as prime marriageable material. To ward away illness tattoos were place around the wrist and fingers. All throughout the history of tattoos, they have signified membership in a clan or society. Even groups today, like the Hells Angels, tattoo their group symbol. It has sometimes been believed that the wearer of an image that was tattooed calls the spirit of that particular image. If that belief holds true, the ferocity of a tiger would belong to a person with a tiger tattoo. That tradition seems holds true even today shown by the images of tigers, snakes and bird of prey tattoo on a person's body. The word tattoo is said to come from the Tahitian word "tatu" which means "to mark something". Tattooing has ar...

No filling of tax return for salary & interest income up to Rs. 5 lakh

No income-tax returns is required for salaried persons whose annual taxable income including salary and interest is up to Rs 5 lakh. However, this would not cover income from other sources like house property, capital gains and gains from profession and business. Income Tax department has issued notification No. 36 / 2011 dated June 23, 2011 in this regard.     The scheme would be applicable for assessment year 2011-12. This means that "the salaried persons eligible under the scheme would not have to file returns for the financial year 2010-11 in assessment year 2011-12.   Under the scheme, those salaried persons who want to claim tax refund, would have to file return and those salaried persons who want exemption from filing Income Tax return, have to disclose about incomes like dividend and interest to his employer for tax deduction.

Vadilal may touch at Rs 250

Vadilal may touch at Rs 250 By Aditya Rangroo New Delhi, June 17: Chocobar, Feast and Vanilla cups are the hallmark of this summer. To beat the heat people rush to the ice cream parlors. The famous ice cream manufacturers such as Vadilal, Amul and Mother Dairy are few, which have dominated the market over the decades. Among all the industries, Vadilal is expected to touch at Rs 250 within 12-18 months. In an interview with CNBC-TV18, PN Vijay, portfolio Manager, said that “Vadilal Industries is a fairly significant player in the ice-creams, frozen yogurts and frozen fruits market. It’s been traditionally Gujarat based company. The ice cream market in India about Rs 3,000 crore and about 60-70% is gone into the organized sector.

TEll IT YOUR WAY - 3 minutes of your time!

  Once in a while you get one you just wish to share with everyone……this is one of them. Very short. Worth the watch.   This summer, Philips and the renowned director/producer Ridley Scott launched a global filmmaker competition dubbed “Tell It Your Way” following its Cannes Lions award-winning short-film project “Parallel Lines.”  T he entrants were given freedom of expression and could take up any theme they wanted; still there were two strict rules—there had to be the exact six-line dialogue as it was in the Parallel Lines films, plus the entries could last no longer than three minutes . Here's the prize-winning entry in Philips' "Tell It Your Way" competition. It gets my vote for winning entry also. I can easily see how it impressed and touched the judges.

How would you like your breakfast bread to be spiked with human hair?

NaturalNews.com reports that if you read the ingredients label on a loaf of bread, you will usually find an ingredient listed there as L-cysteine. This is a non-essential amino acid added to many baked goods as a dough conditioner in order to speed industrial processing. It's usually not added directly to flour intended for home use, but you'll find it throughout commercial breads such as pizza dough, bread rolls and pastries. Human Hair :  a source for L-cysteine used in making commercial breads. While some L-cysteine is directly synthesized in laboratories, most of it is extracted from a cheap and abundant natural protein source: human hair. The hair is dissolved in acid and L-cysteine is isolated through a chemical process, then packaged and shipped off to commercial bread producers. Besides human hair, other sources of L-cysteine include chicken feathers, duck feathers, cow horns and petroleum byproducts. Most of the hair used to make L-cysteine is gathered from the floors ...
