Some people believe that the holy grail that Jesus was supposed to have drunk out of at the last supper, was in fact not a drinking vessel, but Mary Magdalene who is believed to have been the wife of Jesus and the sacred womb that carried the Royal blood line.
In Da Vinci's painting of the last supper, the drinking vessel is not included, but to Jesus's right is considered to be Mary Magdalene.
In the gnostic gospels, a disciple called Philip, who followed Jesus, commented on the relationship between Jesus and Mary. They showed great affection for each other.

This statement was made in the Bible and you would imagine that those who adhered to the word of God would adopt the instruction.
How come that the action taken in Gaza by the Israelis against Hamas has gone beyond the notion of self defence and inflicted death and suffering on thousands of innocent members of the population?
Even individuals displaying a white flag have been shot and then bulldozed into the ground.
Those who survive this onslaught are unlikely ever to wish to live alongside the perpetrators.

What would happen if countries didn't have a flag? Would they suffer in anyway as a result? On major occasions like sporting events, why display a flag or wave it about? Would the athletes not perform as well if they couldn't see a flag? At protests, people turn up with their countries flags. Would they feel unrecognisable or inadequate without the item?
What would life be like without the material on a pole? Would countries still survive?

Pakistan’s top court directs central bank to issue funds for snap polls

The parliament had on Thursday (13) ruled it wasn’t possible to spare Rs 21 billion ($74.79 million) in funds for the snap polls, which the court had ordered.

Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial had summoned officials from the finance ministry, the central bank and the Election Commision of Pakistan (ECP) to his chamber on Friday to seek a reply on the funds, warning that non-compliance would have consequences.

The parliament had on Thursday (13) ruled it wasn’t possible to spare Rs 21 billion ($74.79 million) in funds for the snap polls, which the court had ordered.

The court order said the chief justice directed the central bank’s acting governor and the finance ministry to coordinate and “forthwith allocate and release” the money from federal consolidated funds no later than April 17.

Japan, India, France to announce launch of Sri Lanka’s debt restructuring negotiation process


Sri Lanka confident of Chinese support in debt restructuring: central bank chief

The central bank chief of the crisis-hit South Asian country said Sri Lanka is optimistic of China’s continued support, pointing to how Beijing “did the right thing in giving Sri Lanka financing assurances last time”.

“I think this is probably the first time China has given it that fast,” he said.

With the help of the International Monetary Fund and other partners who also helped share information, said Weerasinghe, the debt restructuring process can continue.

“Obviously China is a country that has been helping Sri Lanka for a long time and [it has[ invested a lot [in Sri Lanka]. [It will be in the] best interest of both China and Sri Lanka to complete this process soon and we can get back to repaying our debt service obligations,” he said.

“Sooner the better for both countries,” he added.

In February, China’s Exim Bank gave Sri Lanka a two-year moratorium on its defaulted loans and said it would discuss additional re-structuring within that ‘window’.

In early March, Sri Lanka secured a 2.9 billion dollar extended fund facility from the IMF after obtaining assurances of support from China.

One of the constituents of nuclear fusion is helium-3. This material is rare on this planet, but apparently is abundant on the moon. Nuclear fusion is what makes the sun function. The challenge is to recreate this form of energy and in doing so, could produce a cleaner and environmentally friendly and constant source of power. Research is advancing on this energy, but you can understand why some countries find reaching the moon important. Mining for helium-3 is no doubt a big objective.
