Three Easy Rules to Beat Scam Artists

Another useful information resource in the same category http://www.hoax-slayer.com/

QUOTE – Taken from  the Russian-Brides.com.au website – You will have to follow the link below to read HOW the ‘Three-Easy-Rules’ work in full.

The wide spread of Internet dating in the last 10 years has created a new kind of scam artists – people who make Internet dating scams their profession. If you are new to the world of Internet Introduction it is easy to fall for the scams.

However, it is equally easy to avoid them if you know about typical ways these scams are usually performed.

RUSSIAN BRIDES has a very clear and simple policy on scammers. We run compulsory verification security checks on all women who apply to be included in our Photo Catalogue. We consequently publish only about 15% of all applications we receive.

Logical Fallacies

Logical Fallacies – (Defined well at atheism.about.com)

Fallacies are defects in an argument that cause it to be invalid, unsound, or weak. In a deductive argument, the existence of a fallacy means that the argument is not valid – even if the premises are true, the conclusion might still be false.

Quasi stellar objects

GOOGLED – Quasi stellar objects ;- (Just love that name – Robin Williams [Science-Show] on Radio National provide the podcast – download to listen to the complete interview OR listen online)

Interview-TITLE:  The physical laws of the universe

THE INTRO;  It is assumed the physical laws apply universally, from the very small to the very big. But do the constants, used in equations, change at the extremes? Michael Murphy’s group uses quasars as a background light source, allowing light to be traced as it travels through space. This is used as a backdrop to study galaxies 10 billion light years away. Quasi stellar objects are super massive black holes, billions of times the mass of our sun. They suck in all material around and shine very brightly.

It is possible that the developer has mixed up his hyper-links with these two stories.  “LHC still on hold”, with another story – interviewing the same guy, with the story name “The physical laws of the universe”. [Both interesting - if your into that sort of stuff]

WHAT DOES IT MEAN? – (benefits payable to the corporation)

Corporate-owned life insurance
Corporate-owned life insurance (COLI) is life insurance on employees’ lives that is owned by the employer corporation, with benefits payable to the corporation. COLI was originally purchased on the lives of key employees and executives by a company to hedge against the financial cost of losing key employees to unexpected death, the risk of recruiting and training replacements of necessary or highly-trained personnel, or to fund corporate obligations to redeem stock upon the death of an owner. This use is commonly known as “key man” or “key person” insurance. Once, COLI was used for masses of non-key employees in order to get tax benefits, a practice known as “janitor insurance” or “dead peasant insurance”. Congress set limits on the practice in 2004, and today COLI is limited to the more senior executives of a firm.

The truth is out there

Flat Earthers

I love these people – just so genuine in their belief – and the arguments put forth are really convincing – I think i believe, .. – the Earth is Flat.

When they put it like this – “Ours is the truth, the truth of the world’s flatness” – you have to believe

“The facts are simple,” says Charles K. Johnson, president of the International Flat Earth Research Society. “The earth is flat.“

But why? Why do we say the Earth is flat, when the vast majority says otherwise? Because we know the truth.

The space beyond the edge of the world was a dark realm inhabited by all sorts of unholy beasts. Fire and brimstone billowed up from the very depths of hell itself -

How Big is BIG?

GOOGLE – the milky way galaxy facts AND;  Swinburne Astronomy Productions – Bigger than Big

This reminds me of the Monty Python movie – Life of Brian, song ‘Always look on the bright side of life’, where they spew out all these Milky Way facts, pointing out that you, and I are insignifigant in the bigger scheme of things,  – ‘How Big is Big?’

OUR HOME: The Milky Way Galaxy;
The arrow points to our Star the Sun, which is any one of several hundred billion stars in the Milky Way Galaxy. – Pictured here, – The Star closest to our Sun is 4.5 light years away. – A Light Year is the distance light travels in one year. – Light moves at the speed of 186,272 miles or 300,000 kilimeters per second. – Our Sun is 30,000 light years from the centre of the Milky Way Galaxy. – So the light that we see coming from our Milky Way Galaxy’s center, left there 30,000 years ago. – The know Universe contains over 1,000,000 Billion of other Galaxies. – The Milky Way Galaxy contains at least 400 billion stars. -

We are living on a planet that is in constant high-speed motion around itself and traveling on its orbit around the Sun. – The circumference of the Earth at the equator is 25,000 miles or 40,000 kilometers. – The Earth rotates around its axis once every twenty-four (24) hours time, or one whole day and night. While Planet Earth is rotating on its axis at the speed of over 1000 miles or 1609 kilometers per hour, Earth is also traveling, revolving on its oval orbit around the Sun at the speed of about – 67,000 miles or 107,200 kilometers per hour once every 365 days or one whole year.
