This is a question you should be asking yourself if you are seeking to own gold, or gold bullion coins.. The Bullion coin Act of 1985 authorized the issuance of these coins. The coins are embossed with their legal tender face value of fifty dollars, their gold content and government guarantee stamp. Their actual value correlates to the market value for gold. The Mint markets the coins based on the prevailing market value with a slight premium to cover the cost involved in their distribution, production and marketing.
The American Eagle Gold Bullion coin’s Design
The design of the front side of the coins is one previously carried by a gold coin of another denomination that went off the market in 1933.. The designer was Augustus Saint-Gaudens who drafted an image of Liberty carrying a torch and holding an olive branch in either hand. A nest of eagles is shown on the other side of the bullion coin. American Eagle gold coins are sold in four weights of which the biggest is a one troy oz coin..
The Mint Sells Uncirculated And Proof Coin Versions For Investors.Too
The Proof coins are available in weights of one troy oz and in three variations of a troy oz. They are also available in a set containing one coin of each denomination.The uncirculated bullion coins are only minted in the one troy ounce variety. Both types use a precise minting method that is more labor intensive. Each bullion coin is mounted and sealed in a case after inspection. Both types come with a Certificate Of Authenticity. Both bullion coin varieties have a set price, are limited by amount available and may be purchased directly from the Mint.
Reasons For The Increasing Interest In Gold As An Investment
With the dollar in decline and financial institutions looking pretty shaky, people are looking for alternative homes for their cash.. The value of cash is something they are unable to influence however, in the same way as they can if they have possession of an investment that can hold its value with the passage of time or even the possibility of an increase in value in the future. Gold is an investment in this class..In the past economies have operated on a monetary system called the Gold Standard. Since the gold standard was abandoned, the situation has become less stable.. Many believe that we should return to this type of gold backed monetary system.. Many folk fear the onset of inflation caused by the printing of money by governments in response to the Global Finacial Crisis and want to hedge their risk with gold. Others,, believing that gold will rise in value because it is getting more difficult to extract and find. Others believe that the value of gold will rise as it is getting harder to find and mine. At a London conference it was revealed by the President of Barrick, a leading gold miner, that overall gold production is diminishing due to there is less gold available.. This was published in the Daily Telegraph newspaper on November 13 2009.. Worldwide production has fallen by in the region of 1 million ounces per year since the beginning of this decade; and that the total supply has fallen by 10 percent. Erosion in ore quality is a factor as well. Whatever the reason, the Mint has had to suspend of its coins due to its diminishing inventory.
Folk Should Be Aware Of The Difference Between The American Eagle Gold Coin And The American Buffalo Gold Coin
The American Eagle dominated the gold bullion coin market when it was introduced. As estimated by a Mint officer, 60% of the global gold coin market is dominated by 24 carat gold coins, with 22 carat bullion coins making up the balance. As the world gold coin market being skewered towards 24 carat coins, and as the U.S had nothing to sell to this market, Congress approved the mintage of the 24 carat American Buffalo bullion coins. These were added to the 22 carat coins in the Mint’s portfolio of precious metal coin offerings in 2005. These were eventually released to the market in 2006. Even though gold coins have not been in circulation since 1933, features conducive to circulation have been reflected in the metal constitution of gold bullion coins struck by the Mint.

The Bible talks about an interesting usage for the Apple; it says that the Apple could refresh the one who is sick with love. The Noble Quran does not mention the Apple but it talks about the fruits in general. The Quran says: for those who merit Paradise, i.e. the inhabitants of Paradise, they have different kinds of fruit therein and, therein, they have whatever they ask or call for, they have whatever they desire or wish for.
====================================
The Apple in the Bible
In the Bible King Solomon says in his Song:
I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys.
As a lily among brambles, so is my love among the young women.
As an apple tree among the trees of the forest, so is my beloved among the young men. With great delight I sat in his shadow, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.
He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.
Sustain me with grape-cakes; refresh me with apples, for I am sick with love.
His left hand is under my head, and his right hand embraces me!
Upon reading this Biblical song, one may ask if the Bible is a book that teaches the religion or a book that teaches the private hot issues happening between men and women!
In the Noble Quran, the great Prophet King Solomon does not say such a song.
————————————–
Song of Solomon 2:1-6 in four different versions of the Bible:
New International Version
1 I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys.
2 Like a lily among thorns is my darling among the maidens.
3 Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest is my lover among the young men. I delight to sit in his shade, and his fruit is sweet to my taste.
4 He has taken me to the banquet hall, and his banner over me is love.
5 Strengthen me with raisins, refresh me with apples, for I am faint with love.
6 His left arm is under my head, and his right arm embraces me.
American Standard Version
1 I am a rose of Sharon, A lily of the valleys.
2 As a lily among thorns, So is my love among the daughters.
3 As the apple-tree among the trees of the wood, So is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, And his fruit was sweet to my taste.
4 He brought me to the banqueting-house, And his banner over me was love.
5 Stay ye me with raisins, refresh me with apples; For I am sick from love.
6 His left hand is under my head, And his right hand doth embrace me.
King James Version
1I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.
2As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.
3As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.
4He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.
5Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love.
6His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me.
Young’s Literal Translation
1As a lily among the thorns,
2So [is] my friend among the daughters!
3As a citron among trees of the forest, So [is] my beloved among the sons, In his shade I delighted, and sat down, And his fruit [is] sweet to my palate.
4He hath brought me in unto a house of wine, And his banner over me [is] love,
5Sustain me with grape-cakes, Support me with citrons, for I [am] sick with love.
6His left hand [is] under my head, And his right doth embrace me.

Indeed, this day which is the Day of Judgment, those who merit Paradise i.e. the inhabitants of Paradise are busy; they are delighting in pleasures; they are not tiring with anything wearisome, as there is no toil in Paradise; they are blissful and rejoicing in comfort.
The meaning of verse 36: 56
For those who merit Paradise, i.e. the inhabitants of Paradise, they and their wives are in pleasant shade; in other words, no sunlight affects them. They and their wives are on thrones reclining; reclining upon couches (the word couches in Arabic is pronounced as “Ara’ik”, which is the plural of ar?ka. Ar?ka is a bed inside a curtained canopy, or the bedding therein on thrones reclining)
The meaning of verse 36: 57
For those who merit Paradise, i.e. the inhabitants of Paradise, they have different kinds of fruit therein and, therein, they have whatever they ask or call for, they have whatever they desire or wish for.
The meaning of verse 36: 58
For those who merit Paradise, i.e. the inhabitants of Paradise, Allah, the Lord of the worlds will greet them with the word “Peace”; they are greeted with the greeting of peace! In other words, Allah, the Merciful Lord will say to them, ‘Peace be on you!’

PICKTHAL: lo! those who merit paradise this day are happily employed,

Verse 36: 57
QARIB: they shall have fruits and all that they call for.
SHAKIR: they shall have fruits therein, and they shall have whatever they desire
PICKTHAL: theirs the fruit (of their good deeds) and theirs (all) that they ask;
YUSUFALI: (every) fruit (enjoyment) will be there for them; they shall have whatever they call for;
Verse 36: 58
QARIB: peace, a saying from the most merciful lord.
SHAKIR: peace: a word from a merciful lord
PICKTHAL: the word from a merciful lord (for them) is: peace!
YUSUFALI: “peace!” – a word (of salutation) from a lord most merciful!

Domestic violence against men is an all too real issue that doesn’t get as much attention as it should. There are an overwhelming number of domestic violence statistical data illustrating domestic violence against women. But, there is also plenty of evidence of men being subjected to domestic violence, as well. Some statistics suggest that out of every 100 reported domestic violence cases, about 40 of them are against men.
One of the biggest supporters against domestic violence against both men and women is , the 2007 Grammy award winning singer / songwriter. She was so moved by this “epidemic” that she started the Blue Movement in support of the victims of domestic violence. In fact, she was so moved by the story she saw on Oprah that she wrote a song called “By the Grace of God” as a way to speak out against domestic violence.
The month of October is designated as domestic violence month. As such, it is important for lawmakers and the general population to consider elevating the issue of domestic violence in support of a gender neutral movement. According to one report, there were an estimated 800,000 reported cases of domestic violence against men last year.
Domestic violence whether against men or women should not be tolerated. It’s somewhat understandable how women might get a wider audience of support, considering society views them as more vulnerable. And, of course, cases like the Annie Le murder at Yale or the Jaycee Dugard abduction capture the minds of the American populace. The perpetrators for the most part are men, but in the case of Dugard, the perpetrator was also his wife.
What many people fail to consider is that domestic violence against men, like women, happen in many different ways. Let’s look at the very visible case of Christopher Savoie. At face value, this may not appear to be domestic violence, but the man is now in jail because his wife abducted their children and took them to Japan. She was U.S. court had issued an arrest warrant for the mother!
According to a report by The Center for Disease Control and Prevention, they studied 11,000 men and women involved in domestic violence cases. What they found was that in 50% of the cases, the domestic violence involved both parties. And, an interesting fact, the woman was the first to strike. One other interesting revelation was that when the violence was one-sided, 70% of the time the perpetrator was the woman.
Another interesting statistic shows that domestic violence against men has more than doubled in the last 10 years. The actual numbers are probably even higher, because like in many domestic violence cases, they often are not reported. And, even when reported the victims and perpetrators often change their stories.
No matter how you look at the information, domestic violence against men or women is a bad thing. It’s bad for the parties involved, hurts communities and destroys families. Let’s all just hope that we find a way to educate everyone of this terrible travesty.

Roatan, and San Pedro Sula are both part of a Central American country. Honduras is a country that was badly washed out by its political history, plight of economy and even the occasional natural disaster brought about by hurricanes over the years. However, Roatan is a paradise of the holiday maker, especially for the cruise vacationers. As for San Pedro Sula, it is where the tobacco growers of Honduras live in.
Beside being one of the poorest countries in Central America, Honduras is also one of the many countries which is still unable to repay the loan from the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. In some people’s view, the country is a place of poverty, crime and political unrest. This is also probably the reason why the people of Honduras are not united in thoughts and behavioral patterns. Despite all their various problems, the people of Honduras do share one common identity though, and that is their cigars.
Ever since the cigars from Cuba are banned from entering the US because of a sanctioned trade embargo against the country, cigars from Honduran have started to grow in familiarity and popularity among the people of the US. In fact, Honduran cigars have grown to become the favourite among many cigar lovers in some European countries.
If we were to trace the history of Honduran cigars, we will find that they actually had their roots from Cuba. Many tobacco farmers had decided to migrate and settle in their neighbouring country, Honduras, when they were no longer allowed to operate their businesses under the communist rule because Fidel Castro announced that all businesses in Cuba shall come under the government’s control.
Frank Llaneze, the founder and President of the Honduran-American Tobacco S.A. (H.A.T.S.A.), is one of the earlier creators of Honduran cigars. He has invented a new type of cigars that had since become very popular with the cigar lovers. He was persistence in looking for ways to create a new type of Havana tobacco by mixing it with other Caribbean countries’ tobacco species. He knew that he was in desperate need of a new variety of tobacco before all Cuban tobacco was wiped out in the Cuban revolution. After many futile attempts, he finally succeeded in growing a new specie of tobacco seeds in the Honduras’ fertile soil. This new specie of tobacco seeds were actually the offspring of the Cuba and Connecticut tobacco seeds. In today’s world, many renowned cigar brands such as Excalibur, Hoyo de Monterrey and Punch were produced by H.A.T.S.A. and they are the top cigar brands which are very popular with the American cigar aficionados.
A mixture of nuts and wood gives rise to the flavour of the well-known Honduran cigars. An aroma of spicy and woody finish topped off full-bodied taste of the delightful cigar. It is not uncommon to find a stick of Honduran cigar, which is comparable to their Havana predecessor, accompanying a toast of red wine. The American tobacco lovers find great elation in the Honduran cigars, especially since the Cuban cigars are only available in the expensive black market.
Despite being a country of great poverty, Honduras is definitely in possession of one of the world’s riches that many countries would desire to own. It is believed that in the near future, Honduras will be rid of its poverty state and become the tobacco capital of the world.
