Both my parents were devout Catholics who like myself attended Mass regularly or every Sunday, howevver, my parents were also in the bad habit of reading their daily horoscope found in the local newspaper (they both knew their sign). When a teen and young adult, I was the youngest of 5 and lived at home. I hope what I`m about to write will help. This is the result of our parents following astrology for many years… My brother and I still suffer the consequences, both having been denied a college education due to the errors of our parents (we were told to work after graduating high school and never attended college or university – he wanting to be an engineer, and myself a historian – our gifts will be returned to God, unused, when we go before Him). They passed from this life in the 1980s and I often wonder what happened to them. As a result, our house was always a place of argument, jealousy, distrust, poverty, sickness, alcoholism, sexual deviation and overall tension – is it any surprise. Every morning they’d open the paper “to see what it says” – but they never opened the Bible. My own parents were devout Catholics – but were also fans of astrology, and knew their sign, as well as mine and my siblings. No, they were aware of the sign in the heavens, as was also seen by everyone, and is consistent with Scripture that the heavens there would be great signs before the first and last coming. These acts may be mortal sins or they may be venial sins depending on the circumstances, but nonetheless they are considered sin and require repentance.īefore going to confession be sure to do a full examination of conscience so that you may make a full and good confession.

Improvidence, however, can constitute a lack of responsibility.”Ĭatechism of the Catholic Church, paragraph 2115 What should I do if I have read a horoscope or visited a fortune-teller? Still, a sound Christian attitude consists in putting oneself confidently into the hands of Providence for whatever concerns the future, and giving up all unhealthy curiosity about it. “God can reveal the future to his prophets or to other saints. Astrology, fortune-telling, tarot cards, and the like are no replacement for God’s providence. They contradict the honor, respect, and loving fear that we owe to God alone.”Ĭatechism of the Catholic Church, paragraph 2116īy consulting a horoscope to show ourselves the path for our day we usurp the place of God in whose hands we should place our concerns allowing him to lead us down the path of holiness in discerning his will for us. Consulting horoscopes, astrology, palm reading, interpretation of omens and lots, the phenomena of clairvoyance, and recourse to mediums all conceal a desire for power over time, history, and, in the last analysis, other human beings, as well as a wish to conciliate hidden powers. “All forms of divination are to be rejected: recourse to Satan or demons, conjuring up the dead or other practices falsely supposed to ‘unveil’ the future. The Catechism of the Catholic Church states, Some of these things use evil as the source of their power, others are based on mathematical formulas, and still others are people simply looking to make a quick profit from willing seekers. ![]() The Catholic Church teaches against the use of horoscopes and other such fortune-telling practices such as astrology, palm reading, clairvoyance, ouija boards, and mediums because they attempt to take the place of God. ![]() Horoscopes are a means of attempting to know the future through an astrologer’s interpretation of Sun sign astrology. ![]() 8/19/2023 0 Comments Cow elk hunt wyoming![]() Not included is your travel to camp, license fee, meat processing, taxidermy, and gratuity for your guide and cook.

The project was canceled during the design phase and the phase of setting tactical and technical requirements. however, that is the least of the concerns because of the nerf WG did to the LTTB regarding the armor. Development of the light tank project was started in early 1944 at Factory No. Similar to her medium and heavy counterparts, the LTTB has terrible gun depression and some indeed use a worse gun than the maxed out one to get more gun depression. I looked at Bushka's review and he did he didn't drive the LTTB in any particular way, typical Bushka style driving which sort of gave me the perception that I could drive it like a VK28. So what I am supposed to do with the LTTB? Use its speed to get as close as possible so that its 'average' gun stands a chance at hitting?Īlso, which tier 5/6 tank has a similar style to LTTB (not the VK28 or Cromwell evidently.), maybe i need to practice at tier 5/6 before playing LTTB again. The LTTB, I thought I would play it like a VK28.01 but soon it dawned on me that the gun is not as good as the VK28's gun and shots which I would hit with VK28 I was missing with LTTB. However, I am terrible at the LTTB currently with a 38% winrate after 52 games even though Bushka says its the best non-premium tier 7 (drac/62 cough cough)? The IS and AMX have winrates that roughly mirror their tier 6 equivalents so I guess no complaints there. The Comet, I know how to play, because I did pretty ok with the Crusader and Cromwell and my winrate is ok so far. ![]() I decided to try tier 7 (though I will probably restart after the T49A goes away.) got the LTTB, Comet, AMX, IS and they are upgraded with 100% crew. ![]() 8/19/2023 0 Comments Radio shack scanner pro 668![]() ![]() Of all the scanners I have owned, I now own three of the Pro 668's. I have owned almost all the top end scanners.Radio Shack, Uniden, GRE and even some other brands some have not heard of. Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned I think you will be pleasantly surprised just how much easier listening to the public service bands (and a LOT of other frequencies) has gotten. If you have bought scanners in times past, and then gave up when you could not get the information you wanted in order to listen to your local police or fire departments, give this versatile unit a try. You will have questions as to how to find the specific user groups that interest you (taxis, specific police talk groups, your local dog catcher) but at least you are hearing most of what you bought your scanner for. Sure, there is still a learning curve involved. Put the batteries in it, answer a few questions at start-up, and much of the programming has already been done for you thanks to the supplied data card. The Pro-668 had made this process a whole lot simpler. You needed scan lists, programming software and cables, and more than a little time to learn how to make your scanner listen for what you bought it for in the first place. In the not to distant past, police scanners, especially trunking scanners, were more than a bit difficult to program and be useful. It makes this scanner and other scanners such as Uniden really perform.Good Scanner for Those Unfamiliar with scanners Right now it is one of the best scanners available. The mini ssd card is easy to program and the data base is f ree for life. It makes it a lot quicker to download to your computer the data base and then adjust the parameters that you want your scanner to follow. I highly recommend using a card writer / reader to program this scanner. Getting used to the programming on the RS pro 668 is easy once you start getting into it. They are one of the best scanners out right now, I prefer this scanner to the Uniden Home Patrol II and the other Unidens as the Radio Shack pro 668 has better audio and a better receiver than any of the higher priced top end Uniden scanners.

![]() The $0.50 dividend – a fixed and unchanging benefit to the investor.On the ex-dividend date of the $0.50 dividend, the investor has three factors that will influence his or her profitability: Once the investor has found an attractive option to complement the $50 stock, it’s time to put the strategy into motion. Investors looking for high-delta puts should start by looking at short-dated put options, which have less time remaining and low enough volatility that a dividend-related price decline is a consideration. If the put option sells for $2 then the time value is $0.40 ( $2 – $1.60 = $0.40 ). If the stock is trading at $48.40 and the put option’s strike price is $50 then the intrinsic value is $1.60 ( $50 – $48.40 = $1.60 ). The time value of the option is the option’s value in excess of the difference between the stock price and the option’s strike price. In practice, this means an option that has little time value versus its intrinsic value. Thus, a put with a high delta is one where its value is only significantly influenced by the fall in price of the stock. For instance, if a stock’s put has a delta of -0.7 then that means a $1 increase in stock price will decrease put value by $0.70. A key point is this last part of the strategy – an option with a high delta.ĭelta is the ratio of the change in the price of an asset to the change in the price of the derivative. In order to hedge against this risk and still capture the dividend, you buy a put option where the delta would be high on the day the stock price drops. The dividend income you receive is small consolation for a stock in a strong downtrend.Investors trying to pursue a dividend-capture strategy need to protect themselves against the risk of the stock price falling on the ex-dividend date. But, I suspect, the strategy underperforms relative to long term investing during those same bull markets and uptrends since you're most likely going to sell the shares as soon as possible and therefore miss out on those upside moves, some of which will dwarf the dividend you were originally attracted to.Īnd you're definitely going to get hurt employing the strategy during bear markets. It may work in bull markets or uptrends in that you have a better chance of getting your dividend without facing any capital losses. Just because a company pays dividends doesn't mean that it will trade in a range and allow you to collect more than your share of dividends and recoup all the attendant downward price fluctuations at the same time. Sometimes that actually happens the same day, sometimes it takes a few days, and sometimes it takes a few weeks.Īnd sometimes it may takes months, years, or may, in fact, never happen at all. Obviously, stocks that pay dividends don't always trade down to the exact amount of their dividend (and stay down) following their ex-dividend dates.Ĭonsequently, those who employ this strategy often elect to hold onto the shares long enough for the stock to "bounce back" before selling. Of course, there are a lot of other factors determining share price besides ex-dividend dates. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() So yes, you qualify for the dividend, but now when you try to sell the stock, the share price is down by the same amount. As a result, with all else being equal, a company's share price will open on the ex-dividend date lower by the amount of the dividend. The most pressing obstacle is that the market is fully aware of the dividend calendar as well. Unfortunately, there are some serious drawbacks to implementing this strategy. But with this strategy, if you were nimble enough, you could conceivably qualify for a new dividend every day. If you own stocks that pay dividends for the long haul, you typically receive distributions just four times a year. For additional information related to the Dividend Calendar, see the related Dividend Dates page. ![]() |
