When the idea is not right, God says, "No" No - when the idea is not the best No - when the idea is absolutely wrong No - when although it may help you it could create problems for someone else. When the time is not right, God says, "Slow" What a catastrophe it would be If God answered every prayer at the snap of your fingers. Do you know what would happen? God would become your servant, not your master. Remember: God's delay is NOT God's denial God's timing is PERFECT Patience is what we need in prayer When you are not right, God says, "Grow" The selfish person must grow in unselfishness The cautious person must grow in courage The timid person must grow in confidence The dominating person must grow in sensitivity The critical person must grow in tolerance The negative person must grow in positive attitudes The pleasure-seeking person must grow in compassion for suffering people When everything is all right,...

Presiden Iran saat ini: Mahmoud Ahmadinejad , ketika di wawancara oleh TV Fox (AS) soal kehidupan pribadinya: "Saat anda melihat di cermin setiap pagi, apa yang anda katakan pada diri anda?" Jawabnya: "Saya melihat orang di cermin itu dan mengatakan padanya:"Ingat, kau tak lebih dari seorang pelayan, hari di depanmu penuh dengan tanggung jawab yang berat, yaitu melayani bangsa Iran ." Berikut adalah gambaran Ahmadinejad, yang membuat orang ternganga: 1. Saat pertama kali menduduki kantor kepresidenan Ia menyumbangkan seluruh karpet Istana Iran yang sangat tinggi nilainya itu kepada masjid2 di Teheran dan menggantikannya dengan karpet biasa yang mudah dibersihkan. 2. Ia mengamati bahwa ada ruangan yang sangat besar untuk menerima dan menghormati tamu VIP, lalu ia memerintahkan untuk menutup ruang tersebut dan menanyakan pada protokoler untuk menggantinya dengan ruangan biasa dengan 2 kursi kayu, meski sederhana tetap terlihat impresive. 3. Di banyak kesempat...

Kamis, 17/01/2008 11:45 WIB Sinyal Otak Monyet Bisa Sembuhkan Lumpuh? Fransiska Ari Wahyu - detikinet Monyet rhesus (ist.) Amerika Serikat - Para ahli di Amerika Serikat (AS) dan Jepang telah sukses menggunakan aktivitas otak monyet untuk mengendalikan robot humanoid (menyerupai manusia). Proyek yang dipimpin oleh Miguel Nicolelis, profesor neurobiologi di Universitas Duke ini telah berlangsung selama 10 tahun. Setahun yang lalu, para dokter menanamkan 64 elektroda dan chip komputer ke dalam otak dua monyet rhesus. Kemudian merekam sinyal elektrik dari 200 sel otak binatang tersebut saat tengah berjalan di treadmill . Sinyal itu ditransmisikan melalui internet kepada para ahli di Computational Brain Project of the Japan Science and Technology Agency. Informasi tersebut disalurkan ke robot humanoid yang ternyata merespon aktivitas otak monyet. "Normalnya butuh waktu 250 millisecon bagi otak untuk menciptakan sinyal dan bagi kaki untuk bergerak,...

Man woken from virtual coma after six years By Roger Highfield, Science Editor Last Updated: 7:38pm BST 01/08/2007 Audio : How it works | Mum: 'My boy came back' Mother's plea: `Don't give up hope' A man who spent six years unable to talk, eat or walk as a result of severe brain damage has made a remarkable recovery thanks to a revolutionary implant of electrodes deep in his brain. The American man can now use words and gestures The 38-year-old had been written off by one doctor as a vegetable but he is now able to talk, laugh, drink, chew and carry out simple tasks such as brushing his teeth. The man had been left in a “minimally conscious state” after being beaten up and robbed. He was unable to speak audibly and could only communicate by a nod, or tiny eye or finger movements. He was also unable to chew or swallow, and had to be fed through a tube. His eyes mostly remained shut. But after two electrodes delivered pulses of electricity to arouse his brain, he ca...

Bizarre Asphalt Bacteria Found in Los Angeles 14. May 2007 CaribJournal-Sci [ Staff Writer ] Environmental scientists at the University of California-Riverside have discovered that the Rancho La Brea tar pits in Los Angeles, Calif., house hundreds of new species of bacteria with unusual properties, allowing the bacteria to survive and grow in heavy oil and natural asphalt. Trapped in soil that was mixed with heavy oil nearly 28,000 years ago, the bacteria are uniquely adapted to the pits’ oil and natural asphalt, and contain three previously undiscovered classes of enzymes that can naturally break down petroleum products, the researchers report. “We were surprised to find these bacteria because asphalt is an extreme and hostile environment for life to survive,” said Jong-Shik Kim, a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Environmental Sciences, who initiated the study. “It’s clear, however, that these living organisms can survive in heavy oil mixtures containing ma...

Dieting is unlikely to lead to long-term weight loss and may put a person's health at risk, a study says. US researchers found people typically lose between 5% and 10% of their weight during the first six months of a diet. But the review of 31 previous studies, by the University of California, said up to two-thirds put more weight on than they had lost within five years. Repeatedly losing and gaining weight is linked to heart disease and stroke, the American Psychologist journal reported. Lead researcher Traci Mann said: "We found that the majority of people regained all the weight, plus more. "Diets do not lead to sustained weight loss or health benefits for the majority of people. "We concluded most of them would have been better off not going on the diet at all. "Their weight would have been pretty much the same, and their bodies would not suffer the wear and tear of losing weight and gaining it all back." And she added some diet studies relied on partic...
