One or two weeks does not make an exchange
It needs time to grow and develop like any ecosystem the fact it has name recognition goes a long way towards that but trading volumes are still small for good reason.
A far to early call on it and it could still be a stepping stone towards larger projects.

I was wondering... nowadays you can even bet on the weather conditions and stuff... so is there any site where we can bet on candidates for the elections?

Yes betmoose.com does that
It has elections going for the Canadian Federal and Republicans last time I checked.
6325  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Can I trust BTC exchanges? on: October 14, 2015, 09:48:29 AM
Perhaps it depends on what exchange you rely on
That said it does put you at risk even if the exchange is reliable as there is a chance the service gets hacked into and wallets stolen from
So for transactions yes for storage no.

Of course you need to book it get the sample from the guy and know how to decode it

Hello everyone,

will, in your opinion, the launch of Gemini Exchange will have an impact on the Bitcoin price?

Pending Wall Street investors and capital in the launch
So perhaps if enough big capital latches onto them.

IT Will of course need to be linked to their ETF pending approval.

War on terror is sacred’: Orthodox Church praises Putin decision on Syria airstrikes

 A senior cleric of the Russian Orthodox Church has said his church fully supports Moscow’s plan to render military aid to the Syrian government. He added representatives of other major religions would throw their weight behind the anti-terrorist effort.

“We have an inter-religious council in Russia and I can say with confidence – the coming statement of this body that unites Orthodox Christians, Muslims, Jews and Buddhists will support our state’s decision. The decision with which our state again assumes a special role in the Middle East and in particular in Syria,” Vsevolod Chaplin told reporters on Wednesday.

He also noted the decision not only fully complied with the norms of international law, but also mirrored the views of most Russian people.

“The active position of our country has always been connected with protection of the weak and oppressed, like the Middle East Christians who are now experiencing a real genocide. Russia’s role has always been in protecting peace and justice for all Mideast peoples.”

He stressed the main objective behind the operation in Syria was not in fulfilling some political or economic ambitions but in protecting the weak. “Terrorism is immoral and we need to protect those who are being driven from their lands by war,” Chaplin noted.

He also emphasized that terrorism was the most significant threat humanity is currently facing. “Whatever they are trying to justify terrorism with, it cannot be justified. Thus, any fight against terrorism is moral, we can even call it a holy fight,” Chaplin told reporters.

Pope’s Kim Davis meeting does not indicate support: Vatican

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/popes-kim-davis-meeting-does-not-indicate-support-vatican/article26631236/
http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/10/the-vaticans-pr-war-over-kim-davis-and-the-pope/408637/

The Vatican on Friday distanced Pope Francis from Kim Davis, the focal point in the gay marriage debate in the U.S., saying she was one of dozens of people the pope greeted as he left Washington and that their encounter “should not be considered a form of support of her position.”

After days of confusion, the Vatican issued a statement Friday with its version of Francis’ Sept. 24 encounter with Davis, a Kentucky county clerk who was jailed for refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses.

...

“We wouldn’t expect the pope to weigh in on the particulars of any case,” Staver said Friday. “Rather, the meeting was a pastoral meeting to encourage Kim Davis in which Pope Francis thanked her for her courage and told her to ‘Stay strong,“’ Staver said in a statement. “His words and actions support the universal human right to conscientious objection.”

Ore. shooter left behind online portrait of a loner with a grudge against religion

As the horrific details of the mass shooting at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Ore., slowly came together on Thursday evening like a grisly jigsaw puzzle, one crucial piece remained missing.

A portrait of the shooter.

Mercer was mixed race, according to an Internet dating profile that appeared to come from him, yet his e-mail address referenced an iron cross, a symbol often associated with Nazis. He described himself as a “lover,” but posed with guns and posted photos glorifying violence.

...

And for reasons unknown, he apparently bore a deadly grudge against organized religion.

“Not Religious, Not Religious, but Spiritual” he wrote on one dating Web site, also listing membership in a group called “Doesn’t Like Organized Religion.”

On Thursday morning, those two aspects of his personality apparently drove Mercer to go on a rampage, shooting at least 16 people at Umpqua Community College, killing nine and injuring seven.

According to survivors, Mercer asked his hostages if they were Christians.

“The shooter was lining people up and asking if they were Christian. If they said yes, then they were shot in the head. If they said no or didn’t answer, they were shot in the legs,” a witness said in a text message to the Roseburg Beacon News, according to its publisher.

Yet, the picture of Mercer remains murky.

“He appears to be an angry young man who was very filled with hate,” law enforcement officials told the New York Times.

Kentucky clerk Kim Davis, a longtime Democrat, says she is switching to the Republican Party because she feels abandoned by Democrats in her crusade against same-sex marriage.

"I've always been a Democrat, but the party left me," Davis said, according to Bansley.

She sparked a national furor by refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples after the Supreme Court effectively legalized gay marriage in June. A federal judge ordered Davis to issue the licenses, but she refused, and opted to spend five days in jail rather than license a gay marriage. The ordeal propelled her to folk hero status among some on the religious right.

Davis was elected Rowan County clerk last fall as a Democrat. She replaced her mother, also a Democrat, who served as county clerk for 37 years.
But Republicans, not Democrats, came to her defence.

Davis meanwhile lumps blame for her legal problems on Steve Beshear, the state's Democratic governor, who refused to call the state legislature for a special session and allow lawmakers to hammer out a way to exempt religious clerks from issuing the licenses. The governor instead told clerks to either issue the licenses or resign.

Pope US Congress:

http://time.com/4048176/pope-francis-us-visit-congress-transcript/

Each son or daughter of a given country has a mission, a personal and social responsibility. Your own responsibility as members of Congress is to enable this country, by your legislative activity, to grow as a nation. You are the face of its people, their representatives. You are called to defend and preserve the dignity of your fellow citizens in the tireless and demanding pursuit of the common good, for this is the chief aim of all politics.

A political society endures when it seeks, as a vocation, to satisfy common needs by stimulating the growth of all its members, especially those in situations of greater vulnerability or risk. Legislative activity is always based on care for the people. To this you have been invited, called and convened by those who elected you.

http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/09/25/us-usa-boehner-idUSKCN0RP1GT20150925

On Thursday, Boehner, a Roman Catholic, realized a longtime goal of hosting Pope Francis for an address to Congress. As he stood with the pope to greet crowds on the Capitol's West front, he broke down in tears.

'TODAY'S THE DAY'

Pope Before the UN in New York

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/sep/25/pope-francis-asserts-right-environment-un

Pontiff tells general assembly the environment should enjoy the same rights and protections as humanity and expresses concern for persecution of Christians

Without the United Nations’ efforts to protect peace and human rights, “mankind would not have been able to survive the unchecked use of its own possibilities”, Francis said.

But he said that international institutions needed to do more, counselling the UN against complacency, or what Francis dismissed as “idle chatter”.

The setting of laudable targets on its own was not enough to deal with the problems of the poor. “We need to ensure that our institutions are truly effective in the struggle against all these scourges,” the pope said.

"Living in a big city is not always easy," Francis told 18,000 people at the Garden, easily one of the most respectful crowds the arena has ever seen. "Yet big cities are a reminder of the hidden riches present in our world in the diversity of its cultures, traditions and historical experiences."

The pope — who says he hasn't watched TV in decades and doesn't know how to work a computer — even got a lesson in how to use a touch screen from fourth-grader Kayla Osborne, age 8.

The crowd in the gym included about 150 immigrants and refugees, some of them in the U.S. illegally.

In his remarks, Francis recalled the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, saying: "His dream was that many children like you could get an education. It is beautiful to have dreams and to be able to fight for them."

Science should be the only religion...

Much of the scientific method was pioneered first by Islamic scholars, and later by Christians. Hinduism has historically embraced reason and empiricism, holding that science brings legitimate, but incomplete knowledge of the world. Confucian thought has held different views of science over time. Most Buddhists today view science as complementary to their beliefs.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relationship_between_religion_and_science

What makes us human is a belief in our existence while science is a tool towards that means, what matters most is recalling our humanity.
