Colorful Birds on Displayable Coins

The last paragraph to the first subheading, The birds among nature's colours coins, advises us that "For those taking the subscription through the mint, the first coin is accompanied by a case that serves as a place to keep your coins, and plays a bird’s song when opened."

What bird's song is played when the coin case is opened?

Conclave: a review

In the UK patients do not have the right to request that they be treated by a person of the religion. There is no right to ask for someone of a belief system of your own. The professionalism of the medical staff is assumed, and therefore it is assumed that service will be given impartially.o

Conclave: a review

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.

One time at the emergency and walk-in clinic the patient-to-be sheet asked if I appreciate a certain religion of the medical staff to attend me.

I indicated Catholic. The able, amiable, astute attending Catholic female doctor informed me of a prednisone shot or a steroid shot against my incredible poison-ivy allergic reaction. She also listed tub soaks as leading the urushiol from sub- to surface-skin and therefore to shorter reaction times.

The two subsequent times the intake form lacked that religious-preference question.

Might you as an ambulatory, walk-in walk-out patient or as a hospital-admitted patient be able to mention a preferred-religion choice such as my one experience above?

Star Wars Christmas Decorations for Outdoors

Your product-line choices are appealing and educational in their acquainting viewers with Star-Wars spirituality.

It's interesting to be introduced to alternative decoration even as I invoke the traditional house and yard visual expressions of my faith.

My favorite product-line choice among those revealed above remains the first in-text image, that of R2D2 with a Santa Claus cap. Would that be yours?

(My all-time favorite visual representation indoors and outside nevertheless would be the Nativity scene.)

The religion of the chaplain clearly matters,but the religion of attending staff is not deemed significant

Conclave: a review

Some early 21st-century emergency clinics -- perhaps in case of someone dying -- asked on the form if the patient-to-be considered a particular religion of the attending medical staff.

Is it possible within United-Kingdom, Italian, European-Union health systems to indicate a preferred religion of the attending staff?

The Best Christmas Sweaters for Men~ Buy Ugly, Cheesy and Tacky Christmas Jumpers This Holiday

The Hanukkah sweater causes me to consider religions other than Christianity.

Do tacky, ugly jumpers and sweaters only defer to Christian or Jewish traditions or do such jumpers and sweaters deal with other world religions?

Coins with Religious Themes

The first paragraph to the first subheading, Holy Helpers, alerts us that "Some nations still issue religious themed coins, but usually not circulating coins. Commemorative coins may have a religious theme. One of the first series of commemorative coins I became aware of is the Holy Helpers series, a five-coin series from Belarus that were issued in 2008. The coins are silver, and each coin is embellished with four colorful stones as appropriate to an image consistent with the Eastern Orthodox religion."

What are the four colors in the Holy-Helpers series?

I am unsure of the Vatican medical arrangements on health care, but I suspect that they tie in with the Italian system.

Kopi Luwak: Costliest and Cruelest But Also Most Cherished and Conservational Coffee in the World

The sixth module, between the images labeled "Kannur (English: Cananore), Laccadive Sea port city on southwestern India's Malabar Coast" and "Coffea fruits are known as coffee berries or coffee sherries," advises us that "The most common back-story for kopi luwak connects the emergence of the drink with Dutch-speaking coffee plantation owners on the Indonesian islands of:
Bali;
Java;
Sumatra.
Colonialists experienced considerable pressure from colleagues and counterparts in the respective European home countries to make economic endeavors super-profitable. Coffee-growers therefore followed policies of allowing native laborers rampant contact with all parts of the coffee shrubs. But at the same time, they let no local workers remove anything for individual or non-plantation uses. The obedient but observant locals probably noticed simultaneous changes in the habits of Asian common palm civets, already appreciated and useful for flesh, fragrance, and fur."

Its last sentence alerts us to the colonialist impact that "The native civets switched from favoring palm pulp to relishing coffee berries."

Can the two food sources, coffee berries and palm pulp, be equivalent in calories, energy and nutrition?

Conclave: a review

Conclave is among what the library system lists as "hot flicks," new movies with a four-day circulation time, as opposed to the thrice-renewable 7-day regular -- not new releases -- films.

The week before last it made its way back from quite a long list of patron check-outs.

So I picked it up, saw it and was impressed with the strong characters and plot.

The unexpectedly special anatomy of Cardinal Benitez started me thinking about medical care and insurance.

Would everyone in the Vatican and in Vatican City have access to a certain set of medical insurance and specialists or would the Pope have his own?

Decorating a Child’s Room for Christmas

For a number of years I have been decorating the little Virginia juniper (Juniperus virginiana scientifically; eastern juniper, eastern redcedar, red cedar, red juniper commonly) that have been “parented” by the mature Virginia juniper in the south lawn. They live somewhat scattered here, there and everywhere. Perhaps my favorite lives near a tree stump that serves as a dining table -- ;-D – for meadow wildlife. Of course, I particularly monitor the teeny-tiny lights and ornaments during windy snow – albeit a rarity here – even as nothing thus far ever manifests any snow or wind trauma.

Might you ever have decorated, might you and your family now decorate, trees outside your house?

Castles of Europe

The third paragraph to the first subheading, Castles Made People Secure from Attack
Defend Against the Weaponry of the Day, alerts us that "The weakest point was the door. It had to be impossible to burn, and be secured from battering."

Is there a uniform style and type of door material that castle builders, occupants and owners ultimately intuited as most anti-battering and anti-burn?

True Meaning of Christmas

Your answer in the comment box for Sep. 27, 2018, considers holographic angels who come to hover atop a Nativity set.

Have you found such religious, spiritual artistry in the above-heralded form or in an equal or a near-equal alternative?
