The Gospel of Luke Here is an extract from the Gospel of Luke, Lk 2 : 2-20 where you can read about the birth of Christ. The Birth of Jesus 1 In those days a decree went out from Emperor Augustus that all the world should be registered. 2 This was the first registration and was taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria. 3 All went to their own towns to be registered. 4 Joseph also went from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to the city of David called Bethlehem, because he was descended from the house and family of David. 5 He went to be registered with Mary, to whom he was engaged and who was expecting a child. 6 While they were there, the time came for her to deliver her child. 7 And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in bands of cloth, and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn. The Shepherds and the Angels 8 In that region there were shepherds living in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 Then an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for see—I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people: 11 to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be a sign for you: you will find a child wrapped in bands of cloth and lying in a manger.” 13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying, 14 “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace among those whom he favors!” 15 When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go now to Bethlehem and see this thing that has taken place, which the Lord has made known to us.” 16 So they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the child lying in the manger. 17 When they saw this, they made known what had been told them about this child; 18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds told them. 19 But Mary treasured all these words and pondered them in her heart. 20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them.

Swimming is an event at the Summer Olympic Games, where male and female athletes compete in 16 of the recognized events each. Olympic events are held in a 50-meter pool, called a long course pool. In competitive swimming, four major styles have been established.

    INTERNATIONAL SKATING UNION Communication No. 1629 ISU WORLD STANDINGS FOR SINGLE & PAIR SKATING AND ICE DANCE ISU SEASON’S WORLD RANKING (Replaces ISU Communication 1460) During its recent meeting, the ISU Council decided to implement two types of World Standings/Ranking, namely • the “ISU World Standings” which is taking into account results of the preceding two seasons and the current season and remains the basis for the draws at ISU Events and part of the criteria for the selection of competitors for the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating and other ISU Events designated by the Council. and • the “ISU Season’s World Ranking” which is based on the results of the current ongoing season only. It has the main purpose to reflect the current competitive performances of the skaters and give the public and the media an indication of the current actual competitiveness of the skaters. Compared to Communication No. 1460, specific changes have been applied in item C.1.6. for clarification and item C.4 (Distribution of points for ISU World Junior Figure Skating Championships and ISU Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final) which now reflect better the weight between all events valid for ISU World Standings /ISU Season’s World Ranking points. 1 A. ISU WORLD STANDINGS FOR SINGLE & PAIR SKATING AND ICE DANCE (valid and officially used for all draws and as a skater’s selection criteria for the ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating and other ISU Events designated by the Council) 1.
