The Miraculous Prophecy of Our Lady of Guadalupe

The book "Guadalupe and the Flower World Prophecy" by Joseph Julián González and Monique González explores the theory that the mass conversion of Indigenous people to Catholicism following the apparition of Our Lady of Guadalupe in 1531 was influenced by the storytelling traditions of the Nahua people. The authors argue that the story of Juan Diego's encounters with Mary, told through song in the Nahuatl language, resonated with the Indigenous population due to its similarities to their own spiritual traditions, particularly the mythic paradise known as the "Flower World." The book presents a compelling anthropological argument for the unprecedented wave of Christian conversions during that time.

"The Decline of Counts-as in Goatboy's Warhammer 40K: A Closer Look"

Counts-as armies in Warhammer 40K, where models are used to represent something else, have faded away due to various reasons. One major reason was the lack of available models for certain units, leading players to get creative with conversions and kitbashing. However, with the advent of 3D printing and a wider range of model choices, the need for counts-as armies has diminished. While this makes it easier for new players to get into the game, some players may miss the innovation and variety that counts-as armies brought.

Grayscale Asserts SEC Lacks Basis to Deny Bitcoin ETF Conversion

Grayscale Investments has argued that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has "no grounds" to reject the conversion of its Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) into an exchange-traded fund (ETF). The SEC was ordered by the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals to review its previous rejection of the conversion, with Grayscale stating that its proposed product is not materially different from bitcoin futures exchange-traded products (ETPs) already trading in the U.S. Grayscale's legal team wrote a letter to the SEC, urging them to treat the Trust similarly to ETPs that invest in bitcoin futures contracts. However, the recent court decision only requires the SEC to review the rejection, not to approve it.

"Reviving the Classics: Manual Transmission Conversions for Mercedes SL600 Offered by Innovative Mechanic"

Car dealer and Mercedes enthusiast Stathios Georgopoulos, along with mechanic Maciej Bakowski, have developed a conversion kit to transform a '90s Mercedes SL600 from automatic to manual transmission. The conversion, priced at $30,000, took eight months of research and development and includes using stock ECUs, a ZF GS6 gearbox, a custom clutch and flywheel, and a custom driveshaft. The goal was to create a factory-like driving experience, and the result is a manual V12 convertible that sounds like a Pagani for $60,000.

Loh's appeal to overturn the children's conversion comes amid heightened rhetoric about protecting Malay Muslim rights, turning the private custody dispute into a national spectacle. The case also raises questions about the power-sharing dynamics between ethnic groups and the role of religion in Malaysian politics.

Boeing cancels 777-300ER P2F conversion plans.

Boeing has abandoned plans to develop a 777-300ER freighter conversion due to cost concerns, according to the CEO of Boeing Global Services. The company had previously announced plans to develop the conversion program in 2018. Instead, Boeing's Product Development team is studying a 787 freighter program, including a passenger-to-freighter conversion of the 787-8 and a new-build freighter program for the 787-9. The 787 freighter would be the successor to the 767 freighter, which will be prohibited from production due to new emissions standards from 2028.

Revamp Your Camera for Breathtaking Shots

Converting an old camera to shoot infrared can give stunning black-and-white landscape photos with punchy contrast and an ethereal look. Infrared light is invisible to the naked eye, but through the camera, it can create weird and wonderful effects, especially on green foliage. While it's possible to use infrared filters, converting the camera's sensor is a better option as it allows for faster shutter speeds and eliminates the need for a tripod. The conversion process is not super cheap, but it's a great way to put an otherwise obsolete camera to new use and enjoy the creative thrill of taking photos in a brand new way.
