Science/TechnologyDoctors Will Soon Be Able To Transplant Organs From Different Species To Human by Agbo2(op): 1:05pm On Dec 26, 2016
If you need a kidney transplant tomorrow, chances are you will wait around three years. Even before you get transplanted, assuming you live, you will most likely spend years on dialysis. Right now there are more than 100,000 people in the US waiting for kidney transplants. Every year nearly 5,000 people will die just waiting for one. On the horizon though, is a potential source of donors that may revolutionize kidney transplantation as we know it. Best of all, it may be that we only have to go to a local farm to get one.

In 1984 at Loma Linda University Medical Center an infant girl known as "Baby Fae" received the first xenotransplant, also known as non-human to human transplant. In this case, Baby Fae received a baboon heart in a last ditch effort to save her life. Sadly, Baby Fae died 21 days later.

The roadblock to success with this kind of therapy in transplantation has always been how best to keep you from rejecting your new organ. This is the cornerstone of the science whose goal is to best match your gift and to protect it for the remainder of what we hope will be your long life. This is essentially the same science that determines blood types and why we need to match blood donors with blood recipients.

You see, your body is able to recognize an unmatched transplanted organ such as a heart, kidney or liver, as not being your own. This recognition of the unmatched organs is triggered when certain proteins on their cells cause a cascade of biological processes in which your body mounts an attack on your newly transplanted organ. This leads to organ rejection and possibly even your death.

The ability to successfully transplant an organ is a product of two fundamental therapies. First we have find an organ from a donor whose proteins most closely look like yours, and second we have to protect that organ with medications meant to keep your immune system from attacking your new transplant. Even then the organ is often rejected, an incredible loss not only for you but for the family of the deceased or living donor who graciously tried to save your life.

The trouble with the Baby Fae case is that the heart of the baboon, while similar in size and structure to her own heart, simply did not look like her human heart on the cellular level. Fae’s own immune system attacked the baboon heart and she died.

Over the years since the early 80’s there has been a resurgence in research the focus of which is to alter the cells of non-human species and ultimately make those cells resemble those of a human being.

Scientists have started to make huge inroads through cloning. The model that seems the most promising is not a primate such as a monkey, or chimp. Instead the animal that holds the most promise of all potential animal donors is of all things…the pig. Incredibly scientists have succeeded in removing those proteins from pig cells that are most responsible for rejection. In the simplest of explanations, these pig kidneys, on the cellular level are coming close to being indistinguishable from humans. They are so close in fact that they may not even need to be matched. You can essentially put the same kidney into…well anybody.

Transplant surgeon Dr. Joseph Tector, and his laboratory at the University of Alabama, is on the forefront of this scientific advancement. They are very close. So close in fact that I predict, for the coming year, that Dr. Tector will put the first pig kidney into a human being, possibly as early as the end of 2017, or the very beginning of 2018. I also predict this will work and change the way we think of organ transplantation forever.

Down the line I envision huge cloning farms, producing the same pig over and over. Essentially a continuous and unlimited source of kidneys, so many in fact that we will probably need hospitals solely meant for kidney transplantation. In time I predict this process will eventually translate to livers, hearts, even intestines but for now the focus is on kidneys. I am excited to see what will happen in the near future and where we are headed. We just may be on the verge of one of the most significant advancements in medicine in the last fifty years. One that few even knew was within our grasp.

Perhaps George Orwell was right, at least when it comes to the kidney, in the very near future we may not be able to tell which is which.

Christianity EtcThe Truth About Tithing - Muyiwa Afolabi by Agbo2(op): 9:10am On Jan 09, 2016
THE TRUTH ABOUT TITHES! A STUNNING REVELATION IN AN INTERVIEW WITH MUYIWA AFOLABI

The following is an interview with Muyiwa Afolabi; A management consultant, business & career coach, professional speaker and a social reformer.

Muyiwa; the CEO of Frontiers International Services Limited is also a teacher of the word of God, called in 1996 to the prophetic and teaching office of the kingdom and since then has taught and supported many believers and ministries.

Muyiwa today coordinates a Christian discipleship class for men and women in career and business with over a thousand registered members; equipping them with the required wisdom, knowledge and understanding for total dominion in life and the fulfilling of destiny.

In this interview, he shares some stunning revelation about the concept of tithing; the origin, the purpose, the misconceptions and the traps. Is tithing still relevant? Does it really work? Are you wasting your money? How does it prosper you financially? Please read and enjoy…

Q. Mr. Afolabi, it's a pleasure to share this moment with you and getting you to publicly share your knowledge and your personal views about the concept and practice of tithing especially since that moment, weeks ago, I heard you say something like tithes does not belong to God?

A. Thank you but, I didn't say so, the bible says it all. As a teacher of the word I will never teach or share anything that is not CLEARLY stated in the word of God. The bible says so, not me. The bible clearly tells us who owns tithes.

Q. But many believers and pastors and respected men of God today say tithes belong to God. And they refer to the scripture in Malachi 3:8, where the bible reads, ‘will a man, rob God? Yet you are robbing Me! But you say, ‘How have we robbed You?” In tithes and offerings.

A. Yes, a very popular scripture, but quoted and applied out of context. It is not the QUOTING of scriptures that empowers and liberates but the STUDY and UNDERSTANDING of scriptures. Many Christians today are lazy bible scholars, they don't STUDY the word hence, have never carried out a comprehensive study on the subject of tithes itself. Many pastors also, with due respect don't study to understand and teach, they study to preach and impress their audience so they are not deep - just superficial.

Many pastors don't even understand the purpose and real principles of tithes. Some however do, but choose to retain the practice and tradition the way it is for reasons best known to them.

Q. So, where in the bible does it say tithes does not belong to God? If it does not belong to God from your study, who owns the tithes then?

A. Well, every doctrine and practice in the bible has its origin and purpose, so to understand and have answers to your questions we need to go to where the bible introduced the concept of tithes and the purpose of tithing. The law of tithes is one of the 618 laws God gave to Moses for the children of Israel.

So to understand the origin, purpose and who owns tithe, let's go to where it was introduced by God in the bible.

Q. So the concept of tithes is one of the laws given by God to Moses, one of the Old Testament injunctions?

A. Yes. It's all clearly stated in Deuteronomy 14: 22-29. You can read it yourself and from any translation you choose, it means the same thing, but I'll want to highlight some critical points from the verses to answer your question about who owns the tithes.

1. First point is this: Deuteronomy 14: 23 to 26 clearly explained who ‘owns' the tithe and how it should be utilised. These four verses make clear who should spend the tithe and on whom. It says, take your tithes either in products or in cash, go to ‘a place of worship' with it, relax, settle down, SPEND the tithe on any good food and drink you desire and EAT IT in God's presence, you and your family should EAT IT. It's a demonstration of gratitude and thanksgiving. In summary, your TITHE is for you and your family to SPEND ON YOURSELVES in celebrating the goodness of the Lord to your family throughout the year!

2. Second point is this: Verses 27 to 29 of the same Deuteronomy 14 says, EVERY 3RD YEAR, don't take your tithe to church to spend on yourself and your family as usual, instead, keep it at home, in your house, ‘within your gates' so that strangers, and the poor, and the orphans and widows and Levites can come to your house and you give to them from it. Every 3 YEARS!

That is the origin and the purpose of tithe!

Q. Wow, this is revealing sir. So how do you relate this with the scripture in Malachi where God says the children of Israel Have robbed Him?

A. It's very simple, the children of Israel had been in captivity for about 70 years in a foreign land. The generation that practiced the Law of Moses including tithing had died off and two new generations of Israelites had been born in the land of captivity and knew little or nothing about the laws given through Moses hence, they worshipped the god of their captors.

After Prophet Nehemiah secured the right to go rebuild the temple and the worship of Jehovah commenced again in the temple, there was a need for the new generation of Israelites to be taught and instructed on the laws given through Moses. So a scribe called EZRA wrote the book of Malachi (Malachi actually means messenger) which was a documentation of the instructions passed by the Levites then, to this new generation of Israelites - Instructing them to stop taking their harvest and produce to baal; an idol, but bring it to the Lord's temple according to Deuteronomy 14, where the law commanded they do so.

The practice of taking what should be taken to God's temple to the shrine of baal is what God called robbery because God blessed their harvest not baal. God wanted the FOOD to be brought to His house for the people to eat and celebrate before him not gyrate before baal and also for the poor, the orphans, the strangers, widows and Levites to eat as well. ‘Bring all tithes so that there would be food in the house' He says. Usually the food ought to be kept within the gates of the Israelites every three years for Levites, strangers, orphans and the rest to come take and eat, but as a slave, anything within their gates belong to their masters, hence the instruction to bring it to the house of God.

Q. Wow, revealing. But sir, some people believe the concept of tithe does not emanate from the Law of Moses but from Abraham. They say Abraham gave a tithe to Melchizedek the priest, and was blessed, so if you also give your tithe to the priest you'll be blessed like Abraham.

A. This for me, is conjured; it's deductive in reasoning and not a fact of the scriptures. And I think there's a need to also understand the blessing of Abraham. As Christians or believers, we are not blessed WITH Abraham's blessings, we are blessed THROUGH Abraham's blessings. That's what God told him, check your scriptures. How is this so? Abraham did not withhold Isaac from God when he was asked to sacrifice him and for this single, but powerful demonstration of faith and obedience, God was excited and willing to release His own SON too as sacrifice for mankind and mankind was saved. This is the act through which we are blessed.

Abraham did many good things and a few bad things; Jesus is superior to Abraham, Jesus and His word is the standard, not the religion or ritual of Abraham. “Before Abraham; Jesus was” We can as well keep sacrificing animals and practice polygamy since Abraham did it, don't you think so? Laughs.

Q. Awesome. Sir, but some people believe tithing works for them. When they tithe, things are easy that month, when they don't tithe, things are usually difficult in that month.

A. Yes it's true and it's very easy to explain. In psychology there is what is called the LAW OF ATTRACTION. When you think and meditate on something, it eventually happens to you; it becomes your reality. You see, your mind is designed like a magnetic field that attracts into your life anything you think and believe strongly. Even the bible corroborate this principle; ‘as a man thinketh, so is he”. Every month you pay your tithes in church, you don't expect negative things to happen so they don't happen. The month you don't pay, you expect negative things to happen, so they happen. It's a subconscious experience. Its simple psychology. It's all about your expectations…your expectations won't be cut short either good or bad. What you expect is what you'll experience whether you pay your tithes or not.

Q. Sir, if according to the scriptures you referenced sir, we are to eat our tithes. How will the church run without funds from tithe, what will pastors live on?

If God truly called you, God will fund the ministry. A good shepherd will not keep ‘killing' the sheep to take care of the farm and himself. He would seek for pastures and still waters for the whole flock.

Jesus worked till he turned 30 and I believe he probably raised the initial funding for his ministry before appointing disciples who remained in business and employment also and hence, supplied funds and transportation for the ministry. The bible also says the ministry of Jesus was funded by some people He had ministered to. Luke 8: 1-3 mentioned names like Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Susanna and many others who supported the ministry from their private means. If God truly called you, He will pay the bills, He will send you financiers. That's why Jesus never bothered collecting offering or tithe from the multitude. In fact, he was worried about them and feed them with fish and bread twice without collecting anything - thousands of them. I think a lot of pastors should go get jobs or start businesses. Through that employment or business, God will fund the ministry.

By God's grace today, I oversee a Christian ministry of over 1000 registered members. And I still work as a CEO of a world class consulting firm. I own the company and through it, God has been supporting His ministry by blessing the work of my hands extensively. The contribution we make is towards welfare and charity according to God's commandment, members don't pay tithes. If God truly calls, He will provide.

Sadly, greed, vain competition, vile ambition and carnality is the reason many pastors keep taking from their poor and ignorant members; blackmailing and scaring them with the scripture about the devourer. Some pastors are sincerely ignorant though.

Q. Having said all these, are you suggesting I eat my tithe, spend on myself and family?

A. What I'm saying is this; tithes is an Old Testament injunction, part of the old covenant of God with the Israelites. There are about 618 laws, the only ones still strongly in practice in churches today is tithes and of late, first fruit. Why is this so? I do not know.

The new covenant is superior to the old. The Spirit of God lives in you, you have become your own priest – a royal priesthood (1 peter 2:9). You are God's ark of Covenant, you don't need a Levite to go before God anymore; you can approach God too by yourself. The ministry of the Levite is over! We are all now ‘Levites' we all can approach the throne by grace! The era of tithes ended with the old covenant; the old law.

The new law of prosperity is in sowing and reaping. 2 Corinthians 9:6 says if you give sparingly you reap sparingly, if you give bountifully, you reap bountifully. This naturally nullifies the law of 10%!

Will and capacity has come in to play. You give not as you like but as instructed by the Holy Spirit. If the Spirit does not tell you to give, don't give either to a ministry or to any individual, some ‘soils' are cursed, stop wasting your seeds!

Stop wasting your hard earned cash ‘paying off' the devourer, Jesus also destroyed poverty and the devourer on the cross; you're free!

Give as led by the Holy Spirit, not according to the marketing skills, eloquence, ‘sweet mouth', or threat of devourer by any minister of God. Study your scriptures, know the truth and the truth shall make you free.

Q. Wow, this is quite revealing and may be seen as controversial. How do you think many pastors and church leaders will accept your views?

A. Well, I'm sorry if this appears controversial, it's not my intention. All I've shared is CLEARLY stated in the bible. I didn't interpret or conjure anything, it's clear. It's not my opinion, it's all in the bible; it's in your bible too. However, I understand how difficult it is to accept the fact that your highly revered and respected pastor could be wrong. Many great men of God in the bible also made mistakes at some point: Abraham, Moses, Jacob and David they all missed it at a point. It's no big deal. Only God is perfect. The word of God is settled forever; not me, His word. Read your bible. Let God be true.

Q. What's your final word on this sir?

A. Well, it's a simple question, with all your tithes all these years do you have financial abundance or surplus? How rich has it made you? Are you still struggling financially? How come the biggest businesses and corporations in the world are not owned by tithers? How come the richest black man in the world is not a tither? True prosperity is in generosity to the less privileged and the poor - not in tithes to Christian ministries that invest very little in souls and people, but extravagant sums in luxury items, profit driven investments and vain projects – laying up treasures on earth!

Q. Thanks for your time sir.

A. You're quite welcome, God bless you.

PoliticsThe Best Decision Making Is…slow by Agbo2(op): 2:59pm On Nov 21, 2015
At the Japan meeting of the World Economic Forum in 2015, I found something that Kathy Matsui, chief Japan equity strategist at Goldman Sachs, said extremely striking.
“People say that it takes time for the Japanese to make decisions. They’re wrong: it doesn’t take time, it takes FOREVER!”
Listen, though, to her follow-up.

“But once the Japanese have reached a decision,” she added, “they move unbelievably fast.”

I think Ms. Matsui is right.

Take the concept of “Womenomics”—the idea that Japan can dramatically boost growth by tapping into one of its most underutilized resources, women—as an example.
Matsui and her colleagues at Goldman Sachs formulated this concept in 1999… And absolutely nothing happened until 2013.
That was when Prime Minister Shinzo Abe decided to put boosting women’s workforce participation, raising women’s earning capacity and getting more women onto company boards at the very center of his growth strategy.

He reiterated his ideas at WAW! (World Assembly for Women) in both 2014 and 2015.

This model—where nothing happens for a long time, then everything changes all at once—is typically Japanese.
It comes from a tradition of building consensus before making decisions. It takes time (or, indeed, forever!) to get everyone to agree to a new policy. Once consensus has been achieved, implementation is astonishingly swift because everyone feels fully invested.

We take this sort of consensus-based approach at my firm, GLOBIS.

The CEO (that’s me) cannot take decisions alone. There needs to be consensus (or at least a majority plus the CEO) on the Executive Committee, which is made up of the CEO and nine managing directors.

To get the Executive Committee to accept my plans, I need to take time to explain why I want to do anything and overcome their objections by outlining my vision, marshaling my facts, and presenting my analysis.
In theory, if someone on the Executive Committee cannot be persuaded about a new policy, then they can opt not to take part in its implementation. In reality, though, I am under so much pressure to make a good case that I usually win all the members around.

The introduction of our online MBA provides a good example of our consensus-based decision-making system in action,

The Executive Committee voiced five objections to the initiative.
1.Can we sort out the technology? Does the right video-conferencing software exist for large-scale remote classes?
2.Can we get the marketing right? Will we be able to attract students to our new online offering?
3.Won’t we be cannibalizing ourselves? Won’t the online MBA simply take students away from our existing programs?
4.Can we maintain our traditional level of quality online? How can we apply quality control in the more dispersed arena of distance learning?
5.Do we need to move so fast? Can’t we adopt a “wait-and-see” posture and learn from our competitors as they make all the first mover’s mistakes for us?

The objections were reasonable enough. And easy to deal with.

The right technology did exist. Pre-marketing proved the existence of demand. Our target would be a new demographic—people too geographically far from campus to attend our normal courses. With the competitive landscape changing so fast—the rise of MOOCs, competitors moving online—a “wait-and-see” approach would be far riskier than failing fast…

I addressed all the Executive Committee’s objections methodically and precisely. As a result, I was able to win their full support after three months which included me personally road-testing the new system and teaching online classes.

Had I been free to make the decision alone, I could have done so in three seconds.

Having to spend three months winning my colleagues around was frustrating, but the time we spent reaching consensus meant that when we got around to launching the online MBA they were all fully committed to it, and the launch went quickly and smoothly.

When I can’t get a majority on the Executive Committee, I take the issue up with the board. Our board consists entirely of external directors, each with their own area of expertise, and me. The CEO cannot override a board majority decision.

In 23 years, the board has only rejected my proposals on two or three occasions. Case in point: They denied me the right to sit on the board of any of the companies in our VC portfolio. This keeps me further from the action than I like, but they were worried that if any of the startups we invested in went bankrupt in Japan, the reputational damage could taint me, the CEO, and, through me, the whole company.

In hindsight, I accept that they made the right decision.

People talk about life being “lonely at the top” for CEOs. With our system, I have to consult so intensively with my fellow executives, that loneliness is the last thing I suffer from!

I think this typically Japanese approach, for all its slowness, has two clear benefits: First, it stops egomaniacal leaders running amok; second, it gets strong buy-in at all levels of the organization, something that ultimately leads to better results.

What’s your take on effective decision-making?

Do you believe in strong, solo leadership, a more consensus-based approach, or a hybrid of the two?

Do you believe, in other words, in “I,” “We” or “Wii” (i.e. “we” + “i”)?

Let me know.

HealthEbola: Update On Portharcourt Outbreak by Agbo2(op): 8:13am On Sep 04, 2014
Situation assessment - 3 September 2014

The Minister of Health of Port Harcourt, Nigeria, has now reported 3 confirmed cases of Ebola virus disease in Port Harcourt, the country’s oil hub. Additional suspected cases are being investigated.

Background on the Port Harcourt index case

Ebola virus was imported into Nigeria via an infected air traveller, who entered Lagos on 20 July and died 5 days later. One close contact of the Lagos case fled the city, where he was under quarantine, to seek treatment in Port Harcourt.

The close contact was treated, from 1 to 3 August, at a Port Harcourt hotel, by what would turn out to be the city’s index case. This case was a male physician who developed symptoms of weakness and fever on 11 August and died of Ebola on 22 August. His infection was confirmed on 27 August by the virology laboratory at Lagos University Teaching Hospital.

The male physician in Port Harcourt is therefore indirectly linked to Nigeria’s first case.

The case history of the index case in Port Harcourt is important, as it reveals multiple high-risk opportunities for transmission of the virus to others.

After onset of symptoms, on 11 August, and until 13 August, the physician continued to treat patients at his private clinic, and operated on at least two. On 13 August, his symptoms worsened; he stayed at home and was hospitalized on 16 August.

Prior to hospitalization, the physician had numerous contacts with the community, as relatives and friends visited his home to celebrate the birth of a baby.

Once hospitalized, he again had numerous contacts with the community, as members of his church visited to perform a healing ritual said to involve the laying on of hands. During his 6 day period of hospitalization, he was attended by the majority of the hospital’s health care staff.

On 21 August, he was taken to an ultrasound clinic, where 2 physicians performed an abdominal scan. He died the next day.

The additional 2 confirmed cases are his wife, also a doctor, and a patient at the same hospital where he was treated. Additional staff at the hospital are undergoing tests.

Given these multiple high-risk exposure opportunities, the outbreak of Ebola virus disease in Port Harcourt has the potential to grow larger and spread faster than the one in Lagos.

The response

Nigerian health workers and WHO epidemiologists are monitoring more than 200 contacts. Of these, around 60 are considered to have had high-risk or very high-risk exposure.

The highest-risk exposures occurred in family members and in health care workers and patients at the facility where the index case was hospitalized. Church members who visited the index case while he was hospitalized are also considered at high risk.

The government, supported by WHO, UNICEF, and MSF (Doctors without Borders), has introduced a number of emergency measures. More will be introduced later this week.

An Ebola Emergency Operations Centre has been activated, with support from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A mobile laboratory, with RT-PCR diagnostic capacity, is set up and functional.

A 26-bed isolation facility for the management of Ebola cases is in place, with plans for possible expansion. WHO has 15 technical experts on the ground.

Twenty-one contact-tracing teams are at work; they have good training, provided by WHO, and adequate transportation, thanks to government support. Two decontamination teams are equipped and operational, as is a burial team.

Port Harcourt is the capital of Rivers State. WHO, together with the Rivers State Port Health Service, has assessed public health measures at airport gates and other points of entry. Screening is under way at domestic and international airport gates.

Social mobilization efforts have been stepped up, initially targeting key community and religious leaders.

However, civil unrest, security issues, and public fear of Ebola create serious problems that could hamper response operations. Military escorts are needed for movements into the isolation and treatment centre.
