I was shopping in Walmart one afternoon.. I noticed a very elderly lady that I felt was taking note of me, she stayed close to where I was for about 20 minutes and about the time I had decided to ask her if I could help her with anything she wandered off. I did my normal see if I could find anything I didn't know I needed before I found it thing and I stopped on a aisle, there was a lady with a very young child in the basket close to where I stopped, the little girl told her  mom ' look at the lady's pictures, she has all the colors, like a coloring book'. I thought it was so cute and when I smiled at her smiling at me , the look on her mom's face was unreal! Mom proceeds to tell the little girl those are marks of people who have nothing to themselves, no faith, so they destroy themselves.. .. I smiled and said children should get to see beauty in whatever they are able to see it in while they can and I turned around, tearing up, to see the little elderly lady stand...

Our friends seem to be genetically more similar to us than strangers, according to a new U.S. scientific study led by prominent Greek-American professor of sociology and medicine at Yale University Nicholas Christakis and James Fowler, professor of medical genetics and political science at the University of California The researchers, who made the relevant publication in the Journal of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), analyzed the genome of 1,932 people and compared pairs of friends with pairs of strangers. There was no biological affinity among all these people, but only the difference in the level of social relations between them. The study showed that, on average, every person had a more similar DNA with his friends than with strangers. The researchers noted that this finding has to do with the tendency of people to make friends with similar racial (and hence genetic) background . The genetic similarity between friends was greater than the expected similari...

A Peanuts cartoon shows Lucy standing with her arms folded and a stern expression on her face. Charlie Brown pleads, “Lucy, you must be more loving. This world really needs love. You have to let yourself love to make this world a better place.” Lucy angrily whirls around and knocks Charlie Brown to the ground. She screams at him, “Look, Blockhead, the world I love. Its people I can’t stand.” I’m sure we all feel that way from time to time, and some of us feel that way most of the time. Maybe you feel that way right now. Loving the world in general isn’t that difficult; loving the people around us can be a major challenge. In 1 Corinthians 13 , we find one of the most beautiful and familiar chapters in the Bible. This chapter is typically read at weddings and anniversary celebrations. It has even been set to music. Yet, this was never the original intent. Instead, Paul was writing a rebuke to a dysfunctional church for their abuse of the spiritual gifts. Typically though, this unders...

In this article I will focus on the subject of  unconditional love . Although we may not always realize that we are doing it, we normally place conditions on our happiness. We decide that we will be happy when certain conditions are met in our lives - for instance, we might decide that we must live in a particular type of house in a particular location for us to be truly satisfied and happy. Or it might be about a situation that we feel must come about - for example, we decide that we must get a particular job promotion so that we can be content in our work. There is one other big condition that we often set before we think we can find happiness - we must find Mr or Mrs Right. We believe another person in the shape of a partner will make us happy. Think about all the conditions you have set yourself for happiness - make a list of them. Notice how we can spend our whole life waiting for these things to be fulfilled. Even if we fulfill one, we then create ...

It is once again time to demonstrate that “truthers” are made of tungsten, actinium, potassium, oxygen, and sulfur. Readers will remember “Truther’ B from an earlier article .  Like most “truthers,” he still insists on using Roadrunner Cartoon physics instead of real world physics, yet he calls everyone else’s grasp on physical reality into question. Suffice it to say a “truther” questioning someone’s grip on physical reality is like Ted Kennedy questioning someone’s sobriety. In an exchange between “Truther”B and Fellow Debunker 9 ( also from an earlier article ), “Truther” B demonstrates his ignorance. First, ” Truther” B provides the following picture purporting to be melted rock at Ground Zero: However, as Fellow Debunker 9 points out, that is merely solidified concrete slurry. “Truther” B then continues with the “melted steel” lie, but as we see here  the molten stuff was SLAG, not steel.  Slag is the byproduct, or, in other words, the waste pro...

SECURITY Data Breaches in the Cloud: Who's Responsible? The cloud multiplier effect means data breaches in the cloud are increasing -- and becoming more costly. With so many states and localities opting to host their data there, what happens when breaches occur? BY  JESSICA HUGHES   /  AUGUST 26, 2014 1 IMAGE VIA SHUTTERSTOCK The risk of a data breach in the cloud is multiplying and is now costlier and happens more frequently, according to a recent study by the Ponemon Institute. But this phenomenon, which is dubbed the cloud multiplier effect, can be mitigated by a strengthened security posture, according to Larry Ponemon, chairman of the Ponemon Institute. "It's funny, I'm a big believer in the cloud," Ponemon said. "I like cloud and I think cloud [has] impro...
