So many people seemed content to sit in their homes and wait for things to happen-for knocks to pound on doors,for letters to arrive,for magic to swirl down through chimneys and turn cottages into castles.
Tella believed these things could happen-anything could happen.But in her opinion truly wonderful things were also far more likely to happen if they were given a nudge or a healthy shove.She believed if people wanted things as much as she did,they wouldn't simply siy by and wait for a change.They would knock down doors and crash through windows.They would battle their fears as if they were dragons.They would do more than they'd believed they dere capable of in pursuit of their dreams.
-How, uh… How many gears does this thing have, anyway?
-I… it… Thirteen.
-Of course. WHAT THE HELL DO YOU NEED THIRTEEN GEARS FOR?!
-Don’t yell. S’got the nine standard. Three quantum gears for use during spatiotemporal crisis events. Then there’s the secret gear. Thirteen.
-“Secret gear.” What does that even MEAN?!
-It means I have the coolest car in the world. Now drive it.

Lizbon vs PortoAlıntı
"At the mouths of the Tagus and Douro stand Portugal's two major cities, Lisbon and Oporto respectively. Lisbon, the capital, is a cosmopolitan metropolis with a rich cultural life and many national museums and art galleries. Oporto is a serious rival to Lisbon, especially in terms of commerce and industry."

Another form of Christianity that resonates in the Global South and is therefore growing in places like Africa is prosperity churches. Preachers of the prosperity gospel are so called because they teach that material wealth and physical health are signs of God’s spiritual blessing and that poverty and disease are evidence of sin or lack of faith. At the extreme, preachers suggest that one can demonstrate faith and unlock the blessings of heaven by tithing or giving to the church, sowing a seed to reap a financial harvest or healing. Many evangelical Christians consider prosperity preaching dangerous, self-serving, and a threat to true Christianity.
After Mao’s death in 1976, US president Jimmy Carter began establishing relations with China. In 1982 a new law permitted new freedoms to Chinese Christians as well as the printing of Bibles in the country. Both registered and unregistered churches enjoyed greater liberty. Churches grew rapidly and many quite large. By the end of the twentieth century, it was estimated that nearly 80 million Christians lived and worshiped in China—some 8 percent of the country’s population.
At the end of the 1970s, many feared that Christianity in China was near extinction. But not only did it persist, it flourished. It was estimated that China had 3 million Christians in the 1980s. The number grew to 100 million by 2018. Not only did the Christian population grow, but it migrated from the heartland to the cities. In the span of one generation, Chinese Christianity became an urban movement that attracted an increasingly well-educated following.
