Bronner, who favors the labeling of foods with GMO ingredients, has been arrested for planting hemp seeds on the DEA's lawn and for a performance-art protest where he milled hemp seeds in a cage outside the White House. He also sued the DEA (and won), so that his company could legally obtain hemp oil as a soap ingredient. Since David took over, Dr. At first, David Bronner (Jim's son) wasn't sure he wanted to become the next standard-bearer for the soap-making clan. How Dr.
Like Noah, We Trust God and Silence Human Will– Healings - BibleWise We view the Bible as our daily problem solver. We turn to the Bible for inspiration, insight, comfort, guidance, and answers for our troubled world. One individual shared the following healing: We all make many decisions throughout each day. As I read Noah's manual for building the ark, Gen. 6:14-16, I marveled at the specific instructions God gave to Noah. materials--gopher wood that was to be sealed with pitch inside and out; dimensions-length, width, and height; number of stories-three; a window and door. I also noted that one very important item was left out. In studying this story about Noah, I realized God was requiring Noah to trust him absolutely; to yield up all personal authority, decision-making, and control to God. An example of this occurred when I was a college sophomore. God just doesn't let us lose good when we trust God with all our heart. Would you please share the Bible verse you used, the insight you gained, and the healing results?

A better way to learn history. This Recently Married Man Just Realized Marriage Is Not For Him This is Seth Adam Smith and his wife, Kim. They've been married a year and a half, and Seth just realized: marriage is not for him. [/caption] He realized it's MUCH more than that. This is a recent entry from his blog. Time To Admit It: The Church Has Always Been Right On Birth Control Photo: Sergio Dionisio/Getty Painting the Catholic Church as “out of touch” is like shooting fish in a barrel, what with the funny hats and gilded churches. And nothing makes it easier than the Church’s stance against contraception.Many people, (including our editor) are wondering why the Catholic Church doesn’t just ditch this requirement. They note that most Catholics ignore it, and that most everyone else finds it divisive, or “out-dated.” C’mon! Here’s the thing, though: the Catholic Church is the world’s biggest and oldest organisation. So, what’s going on? The Church teaches that love, marriage, sex, and procreation are all things that belong together. Today’s injunctions against birth control were re-affirmed in a 1968 document by Pope Paul VI called Humanae Vitae. General lowering of moral standardsA rise in infidelity, and illegitimacyThe reduction of women to objects used to satisfy men. Does that sound familiar? As George Akerloff wrote in Slate over a decade ago,
Animated interactive of the history of the Atlantic slave trade. Source: slavevoyages.org For the full interactive version, use a larger device. Interactive by Andrew Kahn. Background image by Tim Jones. Usually, when we say “American slavery” or the “American slave trade,” we mean the American colonies or, later, the United States. This interactive, designed and built by Slate’s Andrew Kahn, gives you a sense of the scale of the trans-Atlantic slave trade across time, as well as the flow of transport and eventual destinations. History of American Slavery, Ep 2: The Atlantic slave trade during its heyday and the remarkable life of Olaudah Equiano. There are a few trends worth noting. In the 1700s, however, Spanish transport diminishes and is replaced (and exceeded) by British, French, Dutch, and—by the end of the century—American activity. In the final decades of the trans-Atlantic slave trade, Portugal reclaims its status as the leading slavers, sending 1.3 million people to the Western Hemisphere, and mostly to Brazil.
Book review: Top Secret. Images from the Stasi Archives Top Secret: Images from the Stasi Archives, by Simon Menner. Available on Amazon UK and soon on Amazon USA Publisher Hatje Cantz writes: First publication of pictures from the archives of the Stasi, the East German secret police Almost 300,000 people worked for the East German secret police, per capita far more than were employed by agencies such as the CIA or the KGB. Not quite fifty years after the Berlin Wall was built, Simon Menner (*1978 in Emmendingen) discovered spectacular photographs in the Stasi archives that document the agency's surveillance work. Close combat. Surveillance of Mailboxes Surveillance of the United States Embassy Simon Menner has one of the most peculiar portfolios i've ever encountered. For one of his latest photo series, Menner spent 2 years searching through the Stasi archives, the majority of which were opened to the public shortly after the fall of the Berlin Wall. The props are amateurish, the poses are awkward and the result is grotesque beyond words.
How a Radical New Teaching Method Could Unleash a Generation of Geniuses | Wired Business He started by telling them that there were kids in other parts of the world who could memorize pi to hundreds of decimal points. They could write symphonies and build robots and airplanes. Most people wouldn't think that the students at José Urbina López could do those kinds of things. Kids just across the border in Brownsville, Texas, had laptops, high-speed Internet, and tutoring, while in Matamoros the students had intermittent electricity, few computers, limited Internet, and sometimes not enough to eat. "But you do have one thing that makes you the equal of any kid in the world," Juárez Correa said. He looked around the room. Paloma was silent, waiting to be told what to do. "So," Juárez Correa said, "what do you want to learn?" In 1999, Sugata Mitra was chief scientist at a company in New Delhi that trains software developers. Over the years, Mitra got more ambitious. Over the next 75 days, the children worked out how to use the computer and began to learn.
