The RPLP hosted Amy Stone, an associate professor of sociology and anthropology at Trinity University, for a series of conversations about her insights on religion and same-sex marriage. Using a broad historical context as her framework, Stone discussed changes in the ways different groups have framed arguments for and against same-sex ballot measures. The religious right, for example, has transitioned from an emphasis on pedophilia and explicitly religious rationales for rejecting same-sex marriage to greater focus on risks to health and families. LGBT activists, meanwhile, have found the public more receptive to the language of love and commitment than to rights-oriented rhetoric, and have changed their framing accordingly. With respect to religion, while some LGBT activists welcome the support of sympathetic ministers, others “want nothing to do with religion.” Overall, Stone’s research indicates that the use of religious rhetoric by the LGBT movement is increasing as conservatives downplay religious language.In their public discourse and in an attempt to gain the moral high ground, both the LGBT movement and the religious right compete for embattled minority status. Along these lines, the religious right regularly invokes examples of employees who are fired for anti-gay comments and creates documentaries like “Speechless: Silencing the Christians.” LGBT activists counter by drawing parallels between their objectives and those of previous civil rights movements.

Same group again. I don't know for sure, but maybe Aaron Anstrom was paired with Anna for a time. He later lived across the alley from Charlie and Anna and was a member of First Covenant.
Oxford Diecast have modelled the same Scammell Showtrac (HTO 221) in two different liveries. It was initially restored by the late Roger Austin in the livery of original owner Hibble & Mellors (model 76SST004) but later purchased by Joby Carter and repainted into the colours of his family's firm (model 76SST008).
Same building, different angle.
Unlike the earlier version, in this one I played with color saturation and contrasts.
ஞாயிறு போற்றுதும் ஞாயிறு போற்றுதும்
காவிரி நாடன் திகிரி போல் பொற்கோட்டு
மேரு வலந்திரிதலான்.
and translation for whatever is there in Tamil:
"Praise the Sun! Praise the Sun!
Like the king's (whose country is made fertile by the flowing river Cauvery) wheel of justice, the Sun goes around Mount Meru and elsewhere in the world bestowing goodness equally to everyone!"
Same view over the course of a few hours. Snow on the mountains for the first time this winter. The seasons are turning!
Sameer looks a little anxious as the fateful meeting approaches and the brahmin pundit prepares him.
Does this group of flowers look the same as THIS ONE to you? It doesn't to me yet they are supposed to be the same kind of cacti. Everything else matches but the flowers are sure different, color, structure, everything.
