Leonardo da Vinci Christ Painting Question

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-4996876/Can-spot-da-Vinci-painting-puzzling-experts.html
Salvator Mundi (Saviour of the World)
 
 
Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci painted the above master piece with a twist that is causing a commotion in the art world. The orb (sphere) in his hand looks as if it is a solid clear object without a single glare,  reflection or distortion when light passes through it....why?
 
Christie’s this week announced it would be selling Salvator Mundi next month in New York.
Value to be determined.

What Does Nursery Ryhmes and Booze have In Common?

A Bottle  of Rum...Hoooo
 
It has long been rumored that the rhythm of rhymes had more to do with the inebriated than children playing. Goggle booze and nursery rhymes and you will find all kinds of stories of how fables, folk tales and children's nursery rhymes are closely related. The Daily Beast has an interesting take by Wayne Curtis. The article is from his book
 
"And a Bottle of Rum: A History of the New World in Ten Cocktails"

Walk In The Light
 
Love Hope & Faith

...God is light, and in him there is no darkness at all. So if we say that we have fellowship with God, but we continue living in darkness, then we are liars. We do not follow the truth. God is in the light. We should live in the light, too. If we live in the light, we share fellowship with each other. And when we live in the light, the blood of the death of Jesus, God’s Son, is making us clean from every sin. 1John 1:5-7
