World’s first 3D-printed office building completed in Dubai

That got your attention? Well it may sound a bit far fetched, but it is actually true. I believe that most people are missing the potential in the 3D printing world because people still look at 3D printing as a printer. the problem is however that you can use a whole lot more than just ink in the 3D Printers. With 3D printers people have been able to print both hard a soft materials like capsules fro medicine. Complex machinery that works can also be done. That means that anything man can build a 3D printer can make as long as it has the 3D image needed to create it. This means that architects have now just been given a licence to print anything! Architects are the starting point the primary design behind taking a piece of blank paper and turning it into a 3D design from nothing. With most people its simple a case of scan it in 3D and then print it, but in the architects world, they actually create it. I believe that the future of the architect is far bigger and more vital that people may think. Watch this industry.

Most garbage floating in the ocean gathers in these 5 giant patches????

So you enjoyed that carton or container of juice or water and now you need to carry on with your day. So what happens to that container?
From there it gets taken to some sort of dump and if all goes well it will be recycled into something usable, but more often than not this is not the case. It will either land up on a landfill where it may collapse at some point or poison the land around if not handled properly. The one however that many people don’t know enough about are the ocean patches which in some cases are almost as large as Texas. There are 5 places where all this garbage collects and converges and it is growing constantly. Take a look at this video to get a view of how bad it is becoming. Soon the garbage in the ocean will be more than the fish in it.

We need to be responsible for the lives we lead and what we produce and how we manage the environment around us.

The fruit of the Spirit is singular?

Galatians 5:22-26 (KJV) “22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.”

That’s right, there is only one fruit of the Spirit. Wow, it only just hit me that when we show the fruit of the Spirit it has ALL those qualities in it, not just some. Often times I feel like I am working out one or two of these characteristics in my faith but today the Holy Spirit showed me that if I have fruit from the Spirt then it should have all of those characteristics.

This is the same as 1 Corinthians 13 which tells us what some of the Characteristics of true love are.
Again, these are not separate, all these make up love. If we show only a few of them but not all then our fruit is not complete and we have deformed fruit. It would be like going to an Orange tree and finding only half of the orange growing on it or just the peel of the orange. Oranges grow complete with everything on it. In the same way our fruit of the Spirit in our lives must be complete fruit showing all the characteristics of that fruit. Our love, as in 1 Corinthians 13, should also show all the characteristics of that love.

This has made me look at my love for my wife and family in a new way. It has opened the door to love my wife and family even more.

The article also offers some interesting incites into the industry that6 up till now have been plagued by large governments that are dependant on oil for all their funding. Now that the demand to get off the oil train, people and even governments are looking else where for answers and solar has put its hand up.

Have you put in a solar system at home? How have you saved?

Say what you want about it, but solar energy is becoming dirt cheap

Dubai gets bids to generate solar power at as low as 3 cents/kWh

Okay this is getting AWESOME. The cost of Solar power is bottoming out and we are now more able to see affordable plans to implement solar power for homes. This however is a big article for Dubai because the leaders of the Dubai oil industry have now started to reduce oil business and have started branching out into alternative businesses. Will this be a good move, only time will tell, but even the US is in the process of trying to move out of their dependency on the UA oil industry.

5 Major Earthquakes In 48 Hours . why?

Not many people know about all this activity, but there definitely seems to be a major shift happening. But the question to ask is why? At this point no one really know or can offer what they call a viable answer. However there is one who offers a viable solution, but people are hesitant to accept the truth. I agree with this thinking.

5 THINGS YOU PROBABLY NEVER KNEW YOUR MOBILE PHONE COULD DO..

Got this from a good neighbor and its a good read…
5 THINGS YOU PROBABLY NEVER KNEW YOUR MOBILE PHONE COULD DO..
There are a few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies. . Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival. Check out the things that you can do with it:

🐾FIRST: Emergency
The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112.
If you find yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile; network and there is an emergency,
dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly this number 112 can be dialled even if the keypad is locked. Try it out…

🐾SECOND: Have you locked your keys in the car?
Does your car have remote keyless entry? This may come in handy someday.
Good reason to own a cell phone: If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their mobile phone from your cell phone.
Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock.

Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you.

Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other ‘ remote ‘ for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk)…

Editor ‘ s Note: It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our car over a mobile phone! ‘

🐾THIRD: Hidden Battery Power
Imagine your mobile battery is very low. To activate, press the keys *3370#
Your mobile will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery.
This reserve will get charged when you charge your mobile next time.

🐾FOURTH: How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?
To check your Mobile phone ‘ s serial number, key in the following digits on your phone: * # 0 6 #
A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset..
Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. When your phone get stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless.

You probably won ‘ t get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can ‘ t use/sell it either. If everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones.

🐾FIFTH : ATM – PIN Number Reversal – Good to Know
If you should ever be forced by a robber to withdraw money from an ATM machine, you can
notify the police by entering your PIN # in reverse. For example, if your pin number is 1234,
then you would put in 4321.

The ATM system recognizes that your PIN number is backwards from the ATM card you placed in the machine. The machine will still give you the money you requested, but unknown to the robber, the police will be immediately dispatched to the location.

This information was recently broadcast on CTV by Crime Stoppers however it is seldom used because people just don ‘ t know about it…… Please pass this along to everyone.

This is the kind of information people don ‘ t mind receiving, so pass it on to your family and friends.

University Of Pretoria Takes A Bold Stand For Christianity – Joy! Digital

Many people may not understand my joy and excitement around this because the first part of this message speaks about what is happening in many of our youth today. So much violence and disregard for life shows that we need more time spent on our youth. In Africa, the lack of fathers at home is the key reason for a lack of submission to authority in many youths in Africa. This course is a great way to gain a good understanding of good moral values and being able to help others too.

Well done University of Pretoria. This is great.

University Of Pretoria Takes A Bold Stand For Christianity – Joy! Digital

We have recently witnessed a moral decline in our Universities, with students and staff drifting further and further away from the truth.

@carnegiewave Ocean Waves May Hold The Key To Endless Renewable Energy

Not only does this farm create power using waves it also creates clean water. this is incredible and so simple. Something that should have been around for ages. This is a solution for South Africa in both drought and Eskom problems. My question to the ANC and leaders of our country is why have these never been addressed and implemented to help our people yet?

Electric rain? Solar panel turns raindrops into power

“All-weather solar cells are promising in solving the energy crisis,” explain the scientists from Ocean University of China and Yunnan Normal University, noting that the technology combines an electron-enriched graphene electrode with a dye-sensitized solar cell. “The new solar cell can be excited by incident light on sunny days and raindrops on rainy days,” they add.

This project sounds like it takes all that surface area covered by solar panels and turns it into usable water as well. How awesome is that.

Google’s bipedal robot reveals the future of manual labor

Sounds a bit Sci fi right?

Well this stuff is not new and is already headed for production. With business not being able to rely on people to consistently handle day to day labour and union strikes, business is chomping at the bit to make a change.

Technically this is so cool and awesome.
