Just saying

Have you ever been in a situation that made you feel awkward? Sure! All of us have had that moment in our life where we wished we could run, hide, or disappear. Maybe, it's your first date, and you realize the person is not for you, and you are waiting for the right moment to end the date from hell. Maybe, it's a contract negotiation where you have made an offer, and you are sitting in silence waiting for the other person to blink, cough, sneeze, or do something to break the silence. I think you get the point. While attending the NSA Winter Conference, I was faced with an unexpected awkward moment in front of 200-300 professional speakers, consultants, authors, meeting planners and those aspiring to be speakers. This happened in Las Vegas. Keep in mind, this was my first time attending and no one knew me. That evening after the general session, the conference host introduced the talent for the evening. It was a combination of comedy and terrific juggling. So, her

With the current economic uncertainty, many people are looking for ways to reduce expenses. A relatively painless way to reduce your monthly expenses is to have a second look at the way you're managing your debt. Over time, most of us take out a variety of loans for different purposes. These can include things like credit card debt, car loans, home renovation loans and, of course, the mortgage. And if you have more than one loan, you're most likely paying a different interest rate on each loan. One of the easiest ways to reduce your monthly interest costs is to consolidate your debt at the lowest rate. Typically, your lowest-rate debt will be a loan that is secured by an asset, such as your home. If you have sufficient equity built up in your home, consider switching to a product that allows you to access your equity, such as a home-equity line-of-credit. Then, use this line of credit to repay your higher-interest loans. In this way, you'll be bringing all of you

My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE: "If you two are going to kill each other, do it outside - I just finished cleaning!" My mother taught me RELIGION: "You better pray that stain will come out of the carpet." My mother taught me about TIME TRAVEL: "If you don't behave, I'm going to knock you into the middle of next week!" My mother taught me LOGIC: "Because I said so, that's why." My mother taught me FORESIGHT: "Make sure you wear clean underwear, in case you're in an accident." My mother taught me IRONY: "Keep crying and I'll *give* you something to cry about." My mother taught me about the science of OSMOSIS: "Shut your mouth and eat your supper!" My mother taught me about CONTORTIONISM: "Will you *look* at the dirt on the back of your neck!" My mother taught me about STAMINA: "You'll sit there 'till all

God Spoke and BANG! it happened . 1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. 6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. 7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. 8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. 9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land

Strange things people say: time has run! The relationship between mood and time; Mood + Time = Culture Shock If you don’t believe me, it is in the diagram above. Pure science. So the more time you have, the more shocked you get. But there is hope for recovery, eventually, the curve stays up. There are four stages of culture shock adjustment: The honeymoon stage; everything is good and new and nice and it’s good to have to experience something other than what you are used to. Adding spice to your life. The hostility stage; honeymoon is over. You now get anxiety, frustrated, angry, afraid and on a worst case scenario, depression. The Integration / acceptance stage; this is the stage where you are getting over your anger, fears, frustration and learning to cope with the changes around you. The Home stage; this is the stage where you feel at home. You have learnt the different cultures and you are comfortably living with your own. Other external factors no long

I don’t understand why this is making News, I mean; the cloud has always been there. Since you were born, have you ever seen the cloud missing from the sky? Now somebody started talking about it and now it is the hottest news. Wonders shall never end. Maybe it is a different kind of cloud. My curiosity led me to Google. To my unbelief, there is actually somebody selling space in the Cloud! And it is not cheap, if they are giving $500 discount for any new purchase, I can only imagine how much that space up there in the air is costing. Especially what they are calling the Private Cloud! My problem is not that there is someone selling storage space in the Cloud, my problem is with the people buying. How do you use your hard earned money to buy space in the air? Don’t you know that air is free? Tell me, how much do you pay for oxygen you breath in? The air you breathe is in your surrounding and yet you don’t pay for it. So why pay for space that is in nobody’s territory? T

Terrance Stanley "Terry" Fox CC OD was a Canadian athlete, humanitarian, and cancer research activist. In 1980, with one leg having been amputated, he embarked on a cross-Canada run to raise money and awareness for cancer research. There has been more than $600 million in his name with over 60 countries participating in the event; the Marathon of Hope. Terry’s journey ended on Sept. 1, 1980, outside of Thunder Bay, Ont. But the marathon lives on. The legacy of Terry Fox has been admired by Canadians for 35 years. Cubans too and it’s no wonder about 20 per cent of the entire Cuban population participate in the Terry Fox Run. The best message learnt from this is the message of hope and inspiration. In 1977, Terry was diagnosed with osteogenic sarcoma (bone cancer). This forced him to have his right leg amputated 15 centimetres (six inches) above the knee. Although he may not be here today, he transformed the world. And by him starting the run to raise fu

Following a slew of new products from Amazon, an analyst is criticizing the company's hardware strategy. In a note to investors, Macquarie Research analyst Ben Schacher explains the faults in Amazon's plan (Photo : Amazon | Tech Times) If this is an attempt to undercut Apple, then Amazon is doing really well. The most affordable 8-inch iPad mini goes for $270 while Amazon’s 7-inch fire tablet is only USD 50. Well, the big reason behind this move is make more consumers buy more digital good and merchandise from its store.  So the competition would ideally be on content consumption. This is certainly one ‘toy’ worth trying. Meanwhile, Apple’s latest iPhone and iPad has a 12-inch screen. There are those who, however, feel that this hardware is confusing and frustrating. Macquarie Research analyst Ben Schachter for example laments that Prime members do not get more benefits that are related to hardware. Again, Amazon is silent on any plans for AR

“And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. ”  Rev 14:6,7 . “God brings against ministers and people the heavy charge of spiritual feebleness, saying, “I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakednes

My best friend is getting married soon and I thought the perfect gift to give her is the food dehydrator . She loves cooking and most of the time, buys meat, fruits and vegetables in large amounts since she does not have enough time to often go shopping. In order to keep them from spoiling, she often refrigerates them. Despite this, some of the food still goes bad and she at times has to throw them away.

With this dehydrator, she will not only save on costs by cutting down on food wastage but also preserve the nutritional value of these foods.

Google is always the number one choice. But why do you Google? I don't know about you but I Google because Google is my default search Engine and it has all the answers I am looking for. At times, Google even suggests questions I hadn’t thought of and gives me answers to those questions. How effective is that? Really cool! And then again, have you ever heard someone saying Yahoo it? or Bing it? or DuckDuckGo it? That sure sounds funny. But imagine you can actually DuckDuckGo … this is a customisable search Engine that does not track you. Or so they say. The Q/A section of this search engine is very interesting. You don’t have to scroll much and you will get what you are looking for very fast. The Meaning Section gives more insight on the search term. Get this; you can scroll both vertically and horizontally! Next time you find yourself and you can’t figure out why Google, DuckDuckGo!

“Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.”  Isaiah 60:1-3 . The message of Isaiah resonates with our times. We need to arise and shine. For darkness as surely covered the earth. Darkness is even within our ranks. Amid great light from the scriptures and spirit of prophecy, yet darkness covers the earth. During this period of camp meeting season, we look forward for a revival and reformation of our spiritual lives. It is my hope that the Lord is blessing you every day with his light of truth. We are truly living in the last days. The mission of the Seventh day Adventist church was and still remains the proclamation of the three angel’s message to a dying world.
