wikipedia_2018-1919 | The Court agreed with Malaysia that the Johor Sultanate had original title to Pedra Branca , rejecting Singapore 's argument that the island was terra nullius . It found it was not disputed that Johor had established itself as a sovereign state with a certain territorial domain in Southeast Asia since it came into existence in 1512 . As Pedra Branca had always been known as a navigational hazard in the Singapore Strait , which was a vital channel for international navigation in east @-@ west trade between the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea , it was inconceivable that the island had remained undiscovered by the local community . It was therefore reasonable to infer that Pedra Branca lay within the general geographical scope of the Johor Sultanate . Further , during the existence of the old Johor Sultanate , there was no evidence of any competing claims over the islands in the Singapore Strait . It also agreed with Malaysia 's submission that descriptions of the relationship between the Sultan of Johor and the Orang Laut in 19th @-@ century official British reports proved that the Sultan exercised sovereign authority over the Orang Laut . Since the Orang Laut made the islands in the Singapore Strait their habitat , this confirmed the " ancient original title " of the Johor Sultanate to those islands , including Pedra Branca . As regards Singapore 's argument that the traditional concept of Malay sovereignty was based on control over people rather than territory , the Court observed that sovereignty comprises control over both persons and territory . However , it was not necessary to deal with the point further as it had already found that Johor had territorial sovereignty over Pedra Branca . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-1927 | This claim has been criticised as a misinterpretation of how typefaces are actually measured and what printing methods are desirable . Monotype Garamond , the version bundled with Windows , has a generally smaller design at the same notional point size compared to Times New Roman and quite spindly strokes , giving it a more elegant but less readable appearance . To make letters , especially the lower @-@ case , as high as in an equivalent setting of Times New Roman , the text size must be increased , counterbalancing any cost savings . Thomas Phinney , an expert on digital fonts , noted that the effect of simply swapping Garamond in would be compromised legibility : " any of those changes , swapping to a font that sets smaller at the same nominal point size , or actually reducing the point size , or picking a thinner typeface , will reduce the legibility of the text . That seems like a bad idea , as the percentage of Americans with poor eyesight is skyrocketing . " Professional font designer Jackson Cavanaugh commented " If we 're actually interested in reducing waste , just printing less – using less paper – is obviously more efficient . " | wikipedia-2018 |
wikipedia_2018-1928 | Carleton and Olson performed a detailed comparison of Noronhomys to members of the mainland genera Holochilus and Lundomys on the basis of both general morphology and morphometrical data , concluding that the Fernando de Noronha rat is distinct from both other animals .

Another form described as a species of Holochilus , Holochilus primigenus , may also be related , but is likely to fall outside the Holochilus – Noronhomys clade . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-1982 | The range had grown too far for accurate shooting , so Beatty altered course four points to port to close the range again between 16 : 12 and 16 : 15 . This manoeuvre exposed Lion to the fire of the German battlecruisers , and she was hit several times . The smoke and fumes from these hits caused SMS Derfflinger to lose sight of Lion , which had sheered out of line to starboard , and to switch her fire to Queen Mary , now visible to Derfflinger 's gunnery officer as the second ship in the British line and therefore assumed to be Princess Royal , at 16 : 16 . Queen Mary hit Seydlitz again at 16 : 17 and knocked out one gun of her secondary armament . In return , Queen Mary had been hit twice by Seydlitz before 16 : 21 with unknown effects , but the German battlecruiser hit the turret face of ' Q ' turret at that time and knocked out the right @-@ hand gun in the turret . By 16 : 25 the range was down to 14 @,@ 400 yards ( 13 @,@ 200 m ) , and Beatty turned two points to starboard to open the range again . This move came too late , however , for Queen Mary , as Derfflinger 's fire began to take effect , hitting her twice before 16 : 26 . One shell hit forward and detonated one or both of the forward magazines , which broke the ship in two near the foremast . Stationed inside ' Q ' turret , Midshipman Jocelyn Latham Storey survived and reported that there had been a large explosion forward which rocked the turret , breaking the left gun in half , the gun breech falling into the working chamber and the right gun coming off its trunnions . Cordite in the working chamber caught fire and produced poisonous fumes that asphyxiated some of the turret 's crew . It is doubtful that an explosion forward could have done this , so ' Q ' turret may have been struck by the second shell . A further explosion , possibly from shells breaking loose , shook the aft end of the ship as it began to roll over and sink . The battlecruiser behind her , HMS Tiger , was showered with debris from the explosion and forced to steer to port to avoid her remains . 1 @,@ 266 crewmen were lost ; eighteen survivors were picked up by the destroyers HMS Laurel , HMS Petard , and HMS Tipperary , and two by the Germans . | wikipedia-2018 |

wikipedia_2018-1995 | In their book Health , Wealth and Happiness , theologians David Jones and Russell Woodbridge characterize the doctrine as poor theology . They suggest that righteousness cannot be earned and that the Bible does not promise an easy life . They argue that it is inconsistent with the gospel of Jesus and propose that the central message of the gospel should be Jesus ' life , death , and resurrection . Jones and Woodbridge see Jesus ' importance as vital , criticizing the prosperity gospel for marginalizing him in favor of a focus on human need . In another article , Jones criticizes the prosperity theology interpretation of the Abrahamic covenant , God 's promise to bless Abraham 's descendants , arguing that this blessing is spiritual and should already apply to all Christians . He also argues that the proponents of the doctrine misconstrue the atonement , criticizing their teaching that Jesus ' death took away poverty as well as sin . He believes that this teaching is drawn from a misunderstanding of Jesus ' life and criticizes John <unk> 's teaching that Jesus was wealthy as a misrepresentation , noting that Paul often taught Christians to give up their material possessions . Although he accepts giving as " praiseworthy " , he questions the motives of prosperity theology and criticizes the " Law of Compensation " , which teaches that when Christians give generously , God will give back more in return . Rather , Jones cites Jesus ' teaching to " give , hoping for nothing in return . " Jones and Woodbridge also note that Jesus instructed followers to focus on spiritual rewards , citing his command in Matthew 6 : 19 – 20 " Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth ... But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven " ( KJV ) . Jones criticizes the doctrine 's view of faith : he does not believe that it should be used as a spiritual force for material gain but seen as selfless acceptance of God . | wikipedia-2018 |
