The enigmatic tattoo
Polynesian cultures have adorned their bodies with artistic designs for centuries. The word tattoo comes from the Polynesian word “tatau.”
During the 1700s, Capt. Cook’s exploration of the Pacific revealed this unique art form to sailors. The tattoos separated the seamen from the landlubbers and served as a protective charm. A tattoo of an anchor indicated the sailor had crossed the Atlantic, while a compass or nautical

God did that
Within the unlimited amount of evidence to prove that God is real and the Creator of all things, there is no greater example than the sun, Earth and moon.

exists.

SCDNR to conduct courtesy boat inspections during July 4 holiday
STATE — In an effort to keep people and waterways safe during the July 4 holiday and preceding weekend, the S.C. Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) Law Enforcement Division will be conducting courtesy boat inspections at public boat landings around the state.
The July 4 holiday is one of the busiest boating times of the year for South Carolina lakes and waterways, and officers want to do everything possible to keep everyone’s weekend fun and safe.
SCDNR boating safety and enforcement officers will perform quick but thorough inspections for required safety equipment and proper boat and motor registrations. Those who are not in compliance with safety regulations or registration requirements will not be ticketed during the complimentary inspections. Instead, they will be given an opportunity to correct the problem before they launch their boat. SCDNR officers will also be available to answer questions and give boaters tips on how to stay safe on the water. The boating inspections will be conducted July 1, 2 and 4.
To report boating violations such as reckless operation or an intoxicated boat operator, call the SCDNR toll-free, 24-hour hotline at 1-800-922-5431 or dial #DNR on your cellular phone.
For a copy of South Carolina’s boating regulations, to find out about local boating safety courses or to obtain a free float plan form, contact the SCDNR boating safety office at 1-800-277-4301 or visit dnr.sc.gov/education/boated.html.
