One quarter of that $1.2 trillion is Walmart. The total is a mixture of for-profit and non-profit: business ($440m), healthcare ($160m), education ($140m), charities ($93m) and congregations ($330m). More than half of that last one comes from "positive individual impact", a sum supposedly generated by a congregationâ(TM)s leaders' support to individuals, couples and families. Churches' income was $85m but only $10m was spent on social programs; no mention of where the rest goes.
A lot of this revenue is nebulous or would happen anyway (spending locally) or has little to do with religion. Is shopping in Walmart a spiritual experience?

Cold Feet was never a sitcom, more a comedy-drama. All shows are products of their time: consider Red Dwarf, set in the 22nd century but full of late 20th century references.
The formula for a British sitcom is simple but to become a classic requires high quality scripts, usually written by two blokes after years of practice. a) believable but exaggerated characters, preferably contrasting, maybe with a 'normal' protagonist. b) convincing actors. c) make it really funny. This is the tricky bit.
They tried to destroy him. The evil Corporation hunted him down. Followed every lead. Tried to plug him. Nowhere was safe - he had to pull out. But now, he's back, he's wired and looking to tangle. Coming soon to a device near you. Headphone Jack
Are there no laws to force electronic manufacturers to fix these devices, in the same way that other manufacturers are forced to fix faults? Cyber security is supposed to be really important now with important people forming important committees and yet insecure devices are being sold, not fixed and not recalled even after manufacturers have been informed of their failings.
It seems rather lopsided when a hacker is sent to jail for poking holes in an insecure voting website but Seagate can just throw their hands in the air and say, hey, these thousands of devices are nothing to do with us now. How many compromised devices are funding terrorism and other criminal activity? Maybe ISIS are mining these coins.
About 10 years ago our French teacher told us that Kevin was a very chic name in France, where they pronounced it Kevang. We all laughed. Except for Kevin.
I'm sorry that this appeared to be a reply to (and maybe an attack on) you personally or your religion specifically; I meant it as a more general point about how we all take things on trust because we have to. The younger we are, the more easily we are influenced and the more deeply we are conditioned; these influences may become deeply-held beliefs which have no testable basis in fact or reality and can remain untouched by exposure to opposing evidence, no matter how carefully explained, proven and presented. Nothing you've said has refuted that. Members of the Church of LDS have adapted to the modern world and rationality and reason in many ways (and promote ideas of community and charity which are lost to many outsiders) but they still retain their core belief in the supernatural and the truths their 19th century founders revealed to them, as do you. I'm guessing that you believe what you do because you grew up around Salt Lake City and your parents taught you their beliefs; your truth is very regional.
"We paid $400m to Ireland, we paid $400 (million) to the US and we provisioned several billion dollars for the US for payment as soon as we repatriate it and right now I forecast that repatriation to occur next year," he said.
To put this in perspective, Apple makes several billion dollars profit every month.
Li-ion cells are inherently hazardous because they're not safe to be used without a working cut-out and even then can catch fire when damaged. How many of these fires are down to dodgy remanufacturing practices like those you describe and how many to imperfect quality control when the cells were first made? How often do properly made Li-ion cells catch fire?
When you're told something is true by your parents from the first day you can comprehend, when all your friends, relatives and teachers believe the same thing and it's repeated over and over whilst you're growing up, to be told that this thing is not true can be so psychologically damaging that the mind will go to any lengths, however absurd, to retain that belief.
It's very difficult to undo childhood conditioning, no matter which God or flag you were told to worship.
This is why outsiders and new ideas are so dangerous.
The latest court ruling, says the ban "seriously and clearly illegally breached fundamental freedoms", underlining tolerance in French society.
Wearing a burkini on a beach or a hijab in a hospital should be no business of the authorities and is not an assault on or a threat to a secular democracy.
"IOW, everyone would be closely monitored with sufficient laws that everyone has been established guilty of something. Then, if anyone's rabble-rousing becomes too effective, you can take them away."
That's what happens in most authoritarian states, whether they pretend to be democratic, like Egypt, or not, like China. In the modern world it's easier to at least give the appearance of the rule of law so one may continue to oppress and plunder free from outside interference.
Even in the best democracies, because of sloppy drafting (intentional or not) most penal codes have big holes in their laws into which the unlucky may fall or be pushed but you're a lot less likely to be unjustly punished in Sweden than you are in Saudi Arabia (down Julian! Back in your box).
Many countries too are relaxed in some ways and authoritarian in others - see for example France and their attitudes to alcohol on the one hand and the burkini beach babe ban on the other.
The advantage of a monthly subscription is that you're not tied in if they downgrade the service.
I listened to the free service for a while and as always, the ads were annoying (I find them particularly jarring when listening to music; on Spotify, the ads pause if the sound is off so turning the volume to just above minimum is the best you can do) but they were a price worth paying for Spotify's interesting suggestions of new music based on what I was listening to.

Dunno. T-Mobile tried to game the system and Ajit gamed them back. If there was any cheating it was by T-Mobile, white-listing speed test servers.
18 weeks for non-emergencies.
"You have the legal right to start your non-emergency NHS consultant-led treatment within a maximum of 18 weeks from referral."
Half? In the UK it's a third for someone in the middle.
Do you have strange dreams around the time of the full moon?
Again, "nobody" means very few people, especially amongst those with any influence. Anyone who publicly supports creationism in the UK will be mocked.
Apostrophe abuse at it's worst.

Well if the logs show that any US companies have been affected, I expect a couple of extradition warrants to follow soon after.
"IMHO, it means voters should take a good hard at the running mate."

There's a difference in kind between selective breeding and genetic engineering, if you're trying to conflate the two.
Not quite. Apple have "large numbers of foreign workers".

Maybe Roger Waters wrote both.

Consensus is a useful guide to the scientific world's thinking. If 99% of experts prefer one explanation, that's the one I'll put my money on.
