You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. Matthew 5:13

Once, all villagers decided to pray for rain. On the day of prayer all people gathered but only one boy came with an umbrella... that's Faith.

After more than 30 years and 12 billion miles, NASA's Voyager 1 has officially left the solar system, the space agency reports. In doing so, the spacecraft became the first human-made object to venture into interstellar space. The announcement was made after new and unexpected data arose indicating that Voyager 1 has been traveling through plasma, or ionized gas, present in the space between stars for roughly one year now. Based on this, scientists have concluded that the spacecraft is located in a transitional region immediately outside the solar bubble, or the area in which the effects of the Sun are still felt.

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.  John 1:12 KJV

Percy Lebaron Spencer (9 July 1894 – 8 September 1970) was an American engineer and inventor. He became known as the inventor of the microwave oven. By 1939 Spencer became one of the world’s leading experts in radar tube design. One day while building magnetrons, Spencer was standing in front of an active radar set when he noticed the candy bar he had in his pocket had melted. Spencer was not the first to notice this issue, but he was the first to investigate it. He decided to experiment using food, including popcorn kernels, which became the world’s first microwaved popcorn. In another experiment, an egg was placed in a tea kettle, and the magnetron was placed directly above it. The result was the egg exploding in the face of one of his co-workers, who was looking in the kettle to observe. Spencer then created the first true microwave oven by attaching a high density electromagnetic field generator to an enclosed metal box. Percy Spencer invented the first microwave oven after...

In order to receive favor and answers to prayers, you must walk by faith. If you worry about it you are not in faith. Bill Winston Ministries

The world's thinnest sheet of glass is just a molecule thick, setting a new world record set to appear in the Guinness Worlds Records 2014 Edition. As so often the case, the invention was a serendipitous, born during the pursuit of something else altogether. The researchers, from Cornell University and Germany's University of Ulm, were making graphene, a 2D sheet of carbon atoms in chicken wire crystal formation, on copper foils in a quartz furnace when they noticed some kind of "muck" on it.

Reports indicate Apple is going to put a fingerprint sensor into its new flagship phone, but what would that mean in practice? Follow the iPhone 5S and 5C launch live here. A fingerprint reader or sensor scans your fingerprint and matches it to a pre-defined image of your finger. Since every fingerprint is unique, the system can then securely verify your identity. Potentially, fingerprint readers could sound the death knell for passwords. The multi-character password is a failing piece of security, given that pretty much any password can be cracked by high-powered computers these days, regardless of how long or complex it is. Two-factor authentication, where another piece of the security puzzle, such as a secret code or key, is used to strengthen simple password logins is currently the best system on offer to consumers. In theory, fingerprint scanners could allow users to completely remove the need for passwords, securely logging into their phones, and enabling higher securit...

At IFA 2013 in Berlin this week, Alcatel showed off a few brand-new phones aimed at both budget-minded customers and those who want a top-of-the-line device. Alcatel is adding new phones to its One Touch line: the Idol S, Idol Mini, and the One Touch Hero. The new devices range across every price level, from high-end to budget. We don't yet have official pricing details for each phone, but Alcatel has said the One Touch Hero will cost the most, the Idol S will be slightly cheaper, and the Idol Mini will have a budget price tag. One Touch Hero The most high-end and largest of the bunch is the One Touch Hero, at 6.2 inches tall by 3.1 inches wide. Alcatel hardly wasted any space, letting the 6-inch, 1,920x1,080-pixel-resolution screen take up almost the entire front of the phone. The Hero has a curved body with rounded edges and a shiny back cover. One Touch Idol S Moving into the lower-end smartphones, we have the One Touch Idol S. The phone has run-of-the-mill specs for...

Pencil Pusher Now a trio of Chinese inventors hopes to add another device to the cubicle environment: the P&P Office Waste Paper Processor, which turns paper destined for recycling into pencils. The machine, looking a bit like a three-hole punch crossed with an electric pencil sharpener, was a finalist in the 2010 Lite-On Awards, an international competition that seeks to stimulate and nurture innovation. Here's how the pencil-making gadget works: You insert wastepaper into a feed slot. The machine draws the paper in, rolls and compresses it, and then inserts a piece of lead from a storage chamber located in the top of the device. A small amount of glue is added before -- voilà -- a pencil slides out from a hole on the side. It's not clear how many pieces of paper form a single pencil, but you figure the average office worker could generate a decent supply of pencils in a month. (Source:howstuffworks)

It's been confirmed by high sources that the highly anticipated "Samsung Unpacked 2013: Episode 2" event, happening September 4 in Berlin, exists for the sole purpose of unveiling two new products - the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and its smartwatch accessory, Samsung Galaxy Gear. The first thing that is unshakeable is the fact that the Galaxy Gear exists, which the Korea Times confirmed with Samsung executive vice president Lee Young-hee: The Galaxy Gear is a smartwatch accessory that will accompany the Galaxy Note 3 on September 4. The second thing that is pretty certain of is the fact that Samsung is working on flexible displays, but that the Galaxy Gear will likely not feature it. This also comes from the Korea Times' interview with Lee Young-hee.

Bat Suit Not everyone will ever want to leave the ground and  see himself soar in the air like a bird or perhaps a bat? However, in January 2012, a Connecticut-based inventor was granted a patent for what the application describes as "a completely dynamic human powered flying suit" that is modeled after the bat's style of aviation. The inventor explains in the patent application that bats are fellow mammals and the flying creatures "most closely related to human beings." The device consists of a pair of strap-on batlike wings with rigid and non-rigid portions that can be manipulated by the wearer once aloft. Initially getting off the ground is a bit trickier: Unlike bats, who simply do what comes naturally, the wearer of the flying suit would have to be towed, or ride on a bicycle, skis or rollerblades down an incline and then assume a leaning-forward flying posture and leap into the air at the appropriate moment (source: howstuffworks). The question is:...

A person's gift opens doors for him, bringing him access to important people.  Proverbs 18:16 ISV

Turner's media empire began with his father's billboard business, which he took over at 24 after his father's suicide. The business, Turner Outdoor Advertising, was worth $1 million when Turner took it over in 1963 (Roughly $7.5 million in present day terms). With some piece of business ideas, Ted has transform this little media empire that he inherit into a billion dollar media industry. He is know as the founder of the world most popular  cable news network CNN, the first 24-hour cable news channel.  Turner created CNN in 1980. He said: "We won't be signing off until the world ends. We'll be on, and we will cover the end of the world, live, and that will be our last event . . . we'll play 'Nearer, My God, to Thee' before we sign off." After five years, CNN outgrew its home, a former country club on the outskirts of Midtown, Atlanta. In addition, he founded WTBS, which pioneered the superstation concept in cable television. As a philan...

A pair of flight enthusiasts, John Foden, 37, and Yannick Read, 42, have devised a two-wheeled bike -- christened the XploreAir Paravelo -- that transforms into an aircraft. The British inventors say it is the world's first fully functional flying bicycle. The machine can travel at speeds of up to 15 miles per hour on the road and 25 miles per hour in the air, reaching altitudes of up to 4,000 feet. "The Wright brothers were former bicycle mechanics so there's a real connection between cycling and the birth of powered flight that is recaptured in the spirit of the Paravelo," says so-creator John Foden.
