“I advise you to buy from me gold (Bitcoin) refined by fire (Energy) that you may become rich.” (Revelation 3:18a) A recent article called "Bitcoin is Time" made the case that Bitcoin is essentially a clock. (Father Time aka GOD) Buying bitcoin from god refined by fire to become rich. Spiritually rich. Not with yellow rocks but “rich toward God.” (Luke 12:21) Here is an illustration Jesus once offered to the people of Israel: How to be "rich toward God"? Saint Paul explained what that gold is when he told Timothy to give orders to wealthy Christians “to work at good, to be rich in fine works, to be liberal, ready to share, safely tre…

“Like a sandcastle, all is temporary. Build it, tend it, enjoy it. And when the time comes, let it go.” ~Jack Kornfield I picked up the butter cookies and a small postcard-sized painting I had brought for her. I took the third-floor hotel elevator down. Closing my eyes, I took several deep breaths. The elevator ride was less than five seconds, but our time spent apart was five years. Five years after the divorce I had flown up to see her again. I’m not sure what led to this meeting. We had emailed each other a couple times out of the blue, and before you know it, we were meeting. It could have been our final goodbye, the closure we neede…

Exercise may be an effective treatment for depression and might even help prevent us from becoming depressed in the first place, according to three timely new studies. The studies pool outcomes from past research involving more than a million men and women and, taken together, strongly suggest that regular exercise alters our bodies and brains in ways that make us resistant to despair. Scientists have long questioned whether and how physical activity affects mental health. While we know that exercise alters the body, how physical activity affects moods and emotions is less well understood. Past studies have sometimes muddied rather than clarified the body and mi…

The great white shark and the killer whale are the most formidable predators in the sea. These animals are so dangerous that they would never challenge each other...or so we thought. One morning, off the Californian coast, a boatload of tourists witnessed the ultimate clash of the titans: an unexpected killing challenges the great white shark's supremacy as the ultimate predator when one became prey to a killer whale. The Whale That Ate Jaws examines this extraordinary incident. Featuring amazing underwater footage of two whales feeding on the shark, this show reveals an astonishing new perspective on the relationship between the ocean's two top predators.We share informa…

This morning I got strange dialog box on my iPhone 6 Plus. It said: "Passcode Requirement: You must change your iPhone unlock passcode within 34 minutes." The combination of the ambiguity of the message and the countdown timer was alarming. Why did I need to change my passcode? Why did I have to do so within a few short minutes? I hit "Later" twice over the next 34 minutes and nothing happened. Evidently it is just a bug related to cookies on a website I have previously visited and it is not malware. Apple couldn't tell me more.

The surgeon is about to get a few new tools. Some might even call them superpowers. For years, surgeons have relied on microscope oculars or other camera systems to operate. Even so, they typically depend on their own eyes and interpretations to execute the most precise of tasks. In these cases, his or her head is down, thereby limiting peripheral vision and communication with staff, while straining his or her back and neck muscles for hours at a time.This is not a great combination of factors, especially during the most intense operations. This past year, two of the most intricate surgical practices, ophthalmology and neurology, have been experimenting with new technolo…

Holy Land's 'oldest church' found at Armageddon Chris McGrealFirst published on Mon 7 Nov 2005 05.28Â EST Prisoners help unearth remains at jail on site of final biblical showdown As if Megiddo, the biblical city of Armageddon - scene of three millennia of battles, the last cavalry charge of the first world war and the final showdown between good and evil - did not have enough on its plate. Archaeologists now claim to have unearthed the remains of the oldest Christian church discovered in the Holy Land. Unfortunately for Israel's beleaguered tourism industry, the find was made behind the walls of one of the country's maximum security prisons. …

Date: August 2, 2017 Source: Florida Atlantic University Summary: Restricting how much you eat without starving has been shown to robustly extend lifespan in more than 20 species of animals including primates. How this works is still unclear. A new study shows that it's not just what or how much you eat that matters. Smelling food in addition to consuming calories could influence the aging process. And, what's 'eating' you or more specifically your cells may provide clues to healthy aging. Read more: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170802092008.htm

This story was originally published on EVANNEX. Renowned mutual fund manager and investment icon Ron Baron of Baron Capital is well-known for his conservative, long-term approach to stock picking. He’s been compared to Warren Buffett (both for his investing style and outstanding track record) and has said that Tesla “may be the most interesting” company he’s ever invested in over his 46 year career. Yesterday, CNBC interviewed Baron for his views on Tesla [NASDAQ: TSLA]. What is his forecast for the stock? “I think it is going to be about $500 to $600 next year, and I think it is going to be $1,000 in 2020.” At that time, Baron said, he expects the company to ha…

Using a sauna may be more than just relaxing and refreshing. It may also reduce the risk for Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia, a new study suggests. Researchers in Finland analyzed medical records of 2,315 healthy men ages 42 to 60, tracking their health over an average of about 20 years. During that time, they diagnosed 204 cases of dementia and 123 cases of Alzheimer’s disease. The study, in Age and Ageing, controlled for alcohol intake, smoking, blood pressure, diabetes and other health and behavioral factors. It found that compared with men who used a sauna once a week, those who used a sauna four to seven times a week had a 66 percent lower r…

A video about a missile system that is feared by US Military and NATO. The Iskander-M has no shortage of admirers. They include the Islamic State and other Islamist entities in Syria, Poland, Turkey, NATO as a whole, and of course the United States. Seemingly no other Russian weapon system is as likely to steal a headline as soon as it makes an appearance somewhere on the global chess board. To what does it owe its worldwide fan base?In part the answer lies in its actual combat abilities. It is a medium-range missile system which uses a combination of maneuvering, and therefore difficult to intercept, ballistic missiles capable of carrying a variety of conventional and nu…

Mostly I use Wikipedia for details on out-of-the-way topics that you wouldn’t think would be subject to bias—lately it has been to corroborate some background on Voltaire, for instance. But not always—sometimes I use it as though a base stock, like you would in cooking, to develop a post on some contemporary issue. Others do this, too—pretty routinely—to provide backdrop for points they are making. @JW Insiderand @Araunaare doing that right now with a thread about China and its modern-day & changing role. It’s an encyclopedia, Wikipedia is—that’s how everyone thinks of it. As such, it is unbiased—that supposedly is it’s mission statement. Anyone can edit it …

I'm into the 5th episode of Better Call Saul on Netflix. I still am wondering if this is before, concurrent or after the Breaking Bad series. Anyone know? The parking lot attendant could have held the same job.... and I think I remember Tuco from BB. Anyone know for sure?

Can You Hear Me in French? Working much like the Babel Fish from ‘The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy,’ the Pilot can translate live speech. So, if you have it in your ear and you’re talking to someone who speaks French – you will hear what they say in English and they will hear you in French. Both participants in the conversation will need to be wearing a Pilot but the manufacturers will be selling them in pairs so you don’t need to seek out owners of the device in the street.

‘Fritada con MadurosÂ’ is a favorite dish here in Ecuador. Traditionally cooked in large bronze or copper pots and stirred with big wooden spoons. Cubes of pork meat including the fat are fried for several hours in bubbling pork lard until itÂ’s crispy on the outside. Not approved by any Healthy Heart Group but nonetheless an amazingly tasty dish. ‘MadurosÂ’ are ripe plantain/green bananas. They are often fried in butter and are wonderfully sweet and tasty. Along the side of the road or in front of homes in residential neighborhoods you can often find women cooking and serving plates of Fritada y Maduros. Something to sample on a visit here?

Uber is still in startup mode, losing a ton of money but also growing quickly. And by a ton we mean you could not set cash on fire this fast. The company offered a rare look at its books (the company is still private and therefore doesn't have to divulge financial information) to Bloomberg. Uber confirmed the numbers in an email to Mashable. The two main takeaways: Users spent $20 billion on Uber in 2016, more than double what they spent in 2015. Uber took in about $6.5 billion of that, but still lost $2.8 billion last year (not included in that number is its China costs, a market it recently left). The numbers come out as Uber is trying to addr…
