The reason? Passengers are lured by attractive prices and a dearth of transpacific nonstop flights from China.<br /><br />...<br /><br />But competition for passengers has intensified as many of the region’s airlines expanded their own flights across the Pacific. In China, however, despite surging demand for flights to North America, the nation’s mainly state-owned airlines have been slow to add capacity, thus keeping fares higher.</i>samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11856051164644278989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-7824027299026214522013-07-07T21:34:02.018-04:002013-07-07T21:34:02.018-04:00Some land grab...

Abram's birth had numerological significance for the authors of the Genesis story: his first year commenced exactly 1600 years after the Creation, or the square of forty, a biblical generation and one of the most common round numbers in the biblical literature.[6]<br /><br />Haran fathered Lot (who was thus Abram's nephew), and died in his native city, Ur of the Chaldees. Abram married Sarai, who was barren. Terah, with Abram, Sarai, and Lot, then departed for Canaan, but settled in a place named Haran, where Terah died at the age of 205. (Genesis 11:27–11:32) <b>God then appeared to Abram and told him to leave his country and his father's house for a land that He would show him, promising to make of him a great nation, bless him, make his name great, bless those who blessed him, and curse those who cursed him. (Genesis 12:1–3)</b> Following God's command, at age 75, Abram took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, and the wealth and persons that they had acquired, and traveled to Shechem in Canaan.<br />Rufus IIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05297231055991566183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-23196307151383542102013-07-07T15:06:23.195-04:002013-07-07T15:06:23.195-04:00Oh yeah, Abraham was part of the creation myth, cr...Oh yeah, Abraham was part of the creation myth, created by the early jews.Rufus IIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05297231055991566183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-49116302763853874822013-07-07T14:46:14.144-04:002013-07-07T14:46:14.144-04:00One quible.
