How is pearl a formed? The formation of a pearl starts when a foreign substance slips into the oyster between the mantle and shell. This irritation causes the oyster to attempt to protect itself, producing nacre to cover the foreign substance. Over time, these layers form a pearl.

TIL why Five Guys gives extra fries at the bottom of the bag. They do it so the guests think they are getting a good deal. However, the extra fries are already factored into the menu price. Founder Jerry Murrell also says it is better for customers to feel that their serving of fries was too large.

"Earlier this year, the FBI privately warned members of the Orthodox community in the United States that Russia was likely using the church to help recruit intelligence sources in the West. Members of the community gave us copies of FBI documents that had been shared among Russian Orthodox and Greek Orthodox parishes. The documents identify and highlight the activities of a senior member of the Russian Orthodox Church’s foreign relations department whom the FBI suspects of having ties to Russian intelligence. "

There was a farmer who grew excellent quality corn. Every year he won the prize for growing the best corn.
One year, a reporter interviewed him and discovered something interesting about the way he grew corn.
The reporter discovered that the farmer shared his seeds with his neighbors. "Why do you share your best seeds with your neighbors, if every year they compete with your own?" the reporter asked him.
"Why, sir?" the farmer replied, "don’t you know? The wind picks up the pollen from the ripe corn and swirls it from one field to another. If my neighbors grow inferior corn, cross-pollination will constantly degrade the quality of my corn. If I want to grow good corn, I must help my neighbors grow good corn."
The same can be applied to our lives. If you want to live a happy, meaningful life, you must help enrich the lives of others.
The real value of a life is measured by the lives it touches; it’s the number of people you have positively impacted that shows the wealth of your spirit, the kindness of your heart, the integrity of your character and therefore the abundance and happiness you will enjoy.
We mistakenly see ourselves as separate beings but we are connected through a web of life that sustains us all and the well-being of each one is linked to the well-being of all.
This is the lesson humanity as a whole, still has to grasp, but I think there’s an ever increasing number of people that get it and it’s encouraging to watch.
❤️❤️❤️

The Anti-Nazi Council was a London-based organisation of the 1930s. Initially part of the left-wing anti-fascist movement, it gained political significance when allied to Winston Churchill, though at the time its influence was largely covert.
Between around 1935 and 1937 it was a vehicle for Churchill's attempts to form a cross-party alliance against appeasement of the fascist dictatorships. The group behind it used the noscript Focus in Defence of Freedom and Peace, and variants, and is sometimes known as the Focus Group

"The ADL is like the annoying little kid in grade school who smells bad, picks his nose, pinches the girls, is despised by all the boys, and barely scrapes by with a D, yet somehow believes he is the smartest, most popular boy in the class.
"No American wants to fight for this wicked organization, die for it, or spend a single taxpayer’s dollar on its behalf. In the meantime, one wonders if those supporting Israel are thinking through the logic of their support.
"The Israeli government warned it would target Tehran if Hezbollah escalates the conflict.
"Do those who support the Israeli government’s threats really not understand that the consequence of accepting this reasoning is to justify Russia targeting Berlin, London, Paris, and Washington DC?"

"From what I know, Iran has now officially activated Beidou despite warning from the U.S.
Beidou is China’s own (and superior) GPS & therefore not under U.S. control.
That means Iranian missiles can be guided by a positioning system that cannot be switched off by the USA."

The Austrian archduke was assassinated in Sarajevo, so Germany must invade Belgium.
Saudi terrorists blew up our buildings so we must invade Iraq.
Sunni Arabs murdered Israelis so they need to invade Lebanon.
It never makes sense.
