Swifts that Flew Non-Stop for 200 days - The swifts must be able to do all of their normal activities, including

introduced to the city council in mid-2011, is being led by UK-based
architecture firm Foster + Partners, in collaboration with civil engineering firm Kier & Wright.

for 6,000 employees, the project has evolved with time, now suggesting
the ring-shaped offices can hold up to 14,000 people. Smart Mug - Everything's getting smarter now. This mug show/tell you when is the temperate is too high/low or for drinking tea or coffee.

The War on Christians - According to the International Society for Human Rights, a secular
observatory based in Frankfurt, Germany, 80 per cent of all acts of
religious discrimination in the world today are directed at Christians.

religious body on the planet.
Boldness - The third mark of the effective personal evangelist is boldness.
We often struggle with a righteous straightforwardness, a loving
clearness, a holy bluntness. Some parents are afraid to tell the gospel to their own children because
they fear their reaction, are concerned that they might not like it and
might turn from it. But what of the risk of not speaking?
Why The Soviet Union Never Made It To The Moon - For those tech geeks who want to know why the Soviet didn't win the space race even though they were able to send the first man up to space.

a day off, or making a late-night snack for a couple of co-workers, is
often a pleasure and never a task. But ....
The First Cut - While much in medicine has changed over the last century, no teaching tool has replaced the gift of a human body. X-rays, MRIs and CT scans allow
medical students to see inside flesh and bone to the sources of injury
and disease. Special mannequins help future surgeons hone their incision
techniques...
Museum of (Almost) Every Object -Hop over to
Italy with me for a minute will you? In the countryside province of
Parma (yeah, that place where the ham comes from), an unusual and
one-of-a-kind museum awaits …

6 Lessons I Learned as a Rookie Pastor - My first year of pastoral ministry was like being dropped into a
battlefield that I’d only read about. Yet, there I was, in the midst of
the destruction of sin and the brutality of a world following the enemy,
trying to discern what it actually looked like to be in the trenches,
pastoring the people of God. It was terrifying. After a year in the
battle, here are six lessons that I learned as a rookie pastor.
Me-ness or Meekness - Meekness is the opposite of me-ness. It is putting others first, second
and third, and yourself last. And it is putting God above everyone. “But
if I do that, everyone else will get everything and I’ll be left with
nothing.” Well, yes, it might mean we lose out a bit in this sinful,
temporary world. But Jesus’ promise means that we will inherit the
perfect, eternal world. That’s where faith comes in.

25 year old Teenager - There’s nothing wrong with being childish—providing you are a child. But when you are an adult who is childish there’s a serious problem. Paul speaks of this in 1 Corinthians 13:11, writing, “When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways.” It’s cute when a mom tucks a 2.5-year-old toddler into bed and cuts the crust off their sandwiches. Not so much when the kid is 25. The Changing Face of Seminary Education - The M.Div. shows no signs of passing from existence, but clearly there are movements afoot to broaden the range of seminary options available for students.
The Death of Arius - In case his name doesn’t sound familiar, Arius was a famous fourth-century false teacher who taught that the Son of God was a created being.

anger forever, for you delight in showing mercy. Have compassion on us,
tread our sins under foot, and hurl all our iniquities into the depths
of the sea."
