Literature / Jumping To Conclusion? by bankoleben(m): 6:51am On Aug 18, 2015 |
One of the inspiring stories of patriotism to come out of the 2012 London Olympics was that of Manteo Mitchell, an American athlete who ran a distance of about 200m on a broken leg. Manteo, a quarter miler, was a member of the US 4x400m relay team that eventually won the Silver medal in the event. https://alabaadeniyi./2015/08/16/jumping-to-conclusion/ |

engineerboat: The problem was that the fight against Boko Haram dragged on for far too long. If Boko Haram was quashed early enough, no one would care to know if the military is ill-equipped or not. |

The game changer before the election was the hiring of South African mercenaries and not necessarily the purchase of new arms. GEJ had over four years to equip the military, why wait till six weeks before election? 3 Likes |
Science/Technology / Thousands Flock To 'sin Free Facebook' by bankoleben(m): 10:00am On Jul 08, 2015 |
A group of Evangelical Christians in Brazil has launched a social network where swearing and erotic content in any form is completely banned. The creators of Facegloria claim the site has attracted 100,000 members since its launch last month. There are 600 words which are forbidden on the site and an "Amen" button for expressing appreciation for a post. Ummaland, a social network for Muslims which launched in 2013, currently has around 329,000 members. It includes "extended privacy settings" for women and daily Islamic inspirational quotes. "We are creating Ummaland on Islamic values, no small talk, no boasting, no gossiping and backbiting but focusing on the message that really matters," said co-founders Maruf Yusupov and Jamoliddin Daliyev in an interview shortly after the site launched. Spreading the word Brazil's Facegloria is currently only available in Portuguese but other language services and a mobile app are also planned. Brazil has the world's largest Roman Catholic population. "On Facebook you see a lot of violence and pornography. That's why we thought of creating a network where we could talk about God, love and to spread His word," web designer Atilla Barros told AFP. Gay material is also banned from the social media platform. Mr Barros and his three co-founders were working in the office of Acir dos Santos, the mayor of Ferraz de Vasconcelos, when they came up with the idea. Mr dos Santos has since invested $16,000 (£10,000) in the start-up. "Our network is global. We have bought the Faceglory domain in English and in all possible languages. We want to take on Facebook and Twitter here and everywhere," he said. Religion and technology often intertwine, programmer John Graham-Cumming told the BBC. "There are some [programming] languages which have some religious symbols, the most notable is a language called Perl," he said. "It was written by Larry Wall who is a Christian, and who has expressed that Christian faith, and within the language there are little clues about that. One of the key words is 'bless' - you can bless something, and it has a technical meaning." Developer Terry Davis spent ten years building his publicly available Christian operating system, TempleOS, which is full of Biblical quotes and references. "TempleOS is God's official temple. Just like Solomon's temple, this is a community focal point where offerings are made and God's oracle is consulted," reads the operating system's charter. http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-33409968

Religion / Re: The Word 'Forgiveness' And The Concept Behind It. Whats Your Own Definition?. by bankoleben(m): 8:39am On Dec 28, 2014 |
Bible only asked us to forgive, not forgive and forget. When you truly forgive, remembering the pains of the past will not bring hurting feelings but will only remind you of what God has brought you through and you'll bring glory to His name. These Mandisa's lyrics explain it better: "What Scars Are For" These scars aren’t pretty But they’re a part of me And will not ever fade away These marks tell a story Of me down in the valley And how You reached in with Your grace And healed me They remind me of Your faithfulness And all You brought me through They teach me that my brokenness Is something You can use They show me where I’ve been and That I’m not there any more That’s what scars, that’s what scars are for what scars are for Erase, rewind Wish I could every time The hurt, the pain cuts so deep But when I’m weak You’re strong And in Your power I can carry on And my scars say that You won’t ever leave They remind me of Your faithfulness And all You brought me through They teach me that my brokenness Is something You can use They show me where I’ve been and That I’m not there any more That’s what scars, that’s what scars are for I see it on the cross The nails You took for me Scars can change the world Scars can set me free They remind me of Your faithfulness And all You brought me through They teach me that my brokenness Is something You can use They show me where I’ve been and That I’m not there any more That’s what scars, that’s what scars are for They show me that’s what scars are for What scars are for What scars are for |
