Armanian

The Ottoman Empire was a multi-ethnic, multi-religious empire that at its height spanned from the Danube River in Europe, to North Africa, to as far as the Caucasus and Iraq. In accordance with the laws of the Koran, the rights of all minorities were respected.In the years leading up to World War I, however, the Ottoman Empire grew increasingly weak, and provinces began to secede. When World War I began, the Ottomans sided with the Germans, and the German defeat left the Ottomans in shambles. Armenians joined with the Russian forces, and grouped into guerrilla bands. They began attacking the Turkish Army in the rear, and even before the Russo-Armenian forces arrived, they succeeded in capturing Van, massacred its entire Muslim population, and razed the entire city. They then proceeded to “soften up” the area, and in the process killed thousands of Turks and Kurds. After much hesitation, the Ottomans decided to relocate the Armenian communities to Syria, Lebanon and Iraq, which at that time were still Ottoman provinces. Ottoman archives chronicling this decision show that this decision was not punitive, and that Ottoman soldiers were ordered to escort the Armenians and protect them from any vigilantes. As it turned out, though, this decree had tragic consequences, not just due to the warfare in the region, but due to disease, harsh weather, exposure and hunger. However, a few facts should be noted. First, most Armenian casualties occurred in regions where Ottoman control was the weakest. Secondly, a great many Turks and other Muslims also died from the same causes. Thus, there was neither any planned execution of Armenians, nor such an intention.Demographic studies by Professor Justin McCarthy show that roughly 600,000 Armenians died during the struggles as compared to almost 3 million Muslim deaths. Vartanian claims that 1.5 million Armenians were killed -- however, according to census figures of the British as well as the Ottomans, there were never more than 1.3 million Armenians in Anatolia

A theological position that holds:
1- People are partially depraved and can still perform one act (faith in Christ) of their own free will that is pleasing to God.
2- People are elected unto salvation on the condition that they posess saving faith.
3- Christ's death payed the penalty for the sins of every individual of mankind.
4- Individuals with the capacity to freely choose either saving faith or rejection of God (such capacity being the result of prevenient Grace), may in the end decide to damn themselves by not having faith, thereby rejecting God's gracious influence, and thus God's offer of mercy in Christ's sacrifice.
5- A person who has saving faith may forfeit his salvation by rejecting God and Christ's work at a later point in time.

The Armani race contains many famous members: Cornelius Van Swill, Greg Bonehead, Eggbert Mahler Jr., Yaacov R Blanche, Purr Locs, and of course, Dr. James R. Minivan of Alfalfa and Ortega Miniseries, who invented the whole concept in the first place.

Amanda

'A m a n d a'
- the longer version of the word 'M a n d y', who is the subject of the song "Mandy" sung by Barry Manilow and again by the Backstreet boys. This was a LOVE song, thus the emphasis on the idea that the name 'A m a n d a' means LOVE.
*+* The song that goes "Oh Margey, you came and you found me a turkey, on my vacation away from my worky" on The Simpsons is also derived from the song "Mandy" by Barry Manilow. This song was used in the context of love ---> Amanda = Love
- other words deriving from 'A m a n d a' include Manda, Mandi, Mand, Mandz, Em etc.

"I remember all my life
Raining down as cold as ice
A shadow of a man
A face through a window
Crying in the night
The night goes into

Morning, just another day
Happy people pass my way
Looking in their eyes
I see a memory
I never realized
you made me so happy, oh Mandy AMANDA

Well you came and you gave without taking
but I sent you away, oh Mandy
well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
I need you today, oh Mandy AMANDA

I'm standing on the edge of time
I Walked away when love was mine
Caught up in a world of uphill climbing
The tears are in my mind
And nothing is rhyming, oh Mandy AMANDA

Well you came and you gave without taking
but I sent you away, oh Mandy AMANDA
well you kissed me and stopped me from shaking
And I need you today, oh Mandy AMANDA

Yesterday's a dream I face the morning
Crying on the breeze
the pain is calling, oh Mandy AMANDA..."
