GQ says Skip the Bible - The Bible says GQ is Fleeting Vanity

 GQ says Skip the Bible - The Bible says GQ is Fleeting Vanity   Current Affairs,Advice,Christianity We don’t need to raise the ire for Gentlemen’s Quarterly magazine, because it was never that important to start. It is a compendium for millennials on what to wear, what to say and at times – how to think. Performing as a rag for the pompous generation, it has entered a new season for instructing its own sycophants on what to read via a list of 21 books that you should just not bother with. Some books that GQ axed are all time classics like, Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger, Hemingway’s, The Old man and the Sea, (GQ’ers never get old) and Farewell to Arms. American literary icon Mark Twain was snubbed because The Adventures of Huck Finn is to GQ a veiled attack against blacks and a support piece for that old southern hypocritical Christianity. Salinger gets hit twice as does Hemingway, but who would guess that they would come after Laurence Sterne’s, Gulliver’s  Travels...

AES Automatic Electronic Shutter: It automatically adjusts the shutter speed against the changing brightness levels to get the best possible signal output. High Brightness Levels ->> Increased Shutter Speed Low Brightness Levels ->> Decreased Shutter Speed AGC Automatic Gain Control: Also known as ‘Automatic Voltage Gain’, it boosts the output signal level, regardless of the variation of amplitude in an input signal.
