I bet you had no idea that the CIA provides a huge resource of information on countries around the world. Did you know, for example, that the official language of Gabon is French, but they also speak Fang, Myene, Nzebi, Bapounou/Eschira, and Bandjabi, and that a citizen is called Gabonese?

This website has a full course on electricity and the information is quite exhaustive. Although I impress easily, yet I just say I am impressed with this website.

Religion– I happen to be a Latter Day Saint (Mormon) so most of the links are for my faith, but if you want to let me know of valuable resources for your own religion let me know and I will post it here. I will not post links to polemic sites that attack other religions because, frankly, if you have to resort to attacking others to justify your beliefs perhaps it is time to re-evaluate your beliefs.

Here is the official website of my church

This is an apologetic website responding ridiculous falsehoods about my faith. If you belong to a religion you know what this is like. If you have such a site for your own religion let me know and I will add it here.
