I've finally found the puzzle called 'the Brain' at the AMNH.
It's said to be an inspiration from Herodotus' mythological Atlantis' mysterious computer. Leading to the Gray's binary system which results in this puzzle.
I first saw it in Arkansas. I believed I have once found it on the web a few years back but had forgotten what and where it is until my recent visit to the museum.
I can open or close it in about 30 seconds each.
George Eastman (1854-1932), founder of Kodak company, committed suicide by shooting his heart.
I once heard a preacher commented how people saw the world hopelessly and became depressed enough to commit suicide, and using the example of the Kodak's former president.
However, I just came across the site where although the disease did caused George to be in a position that led to his depression, his suicide wasn't quite that of hopelessness...as his suicide note read: My work is done. Why wait?
So what is it that justify the situation?
I see no justification. Because I believe there are more he could have done. God decides if our work is finished.
Other than sleep paralysis, there's another one I've encountered not by me, but someone I know. That is called Night Terror. It's when someone yelled in the dream without having a nightmare. Also could be related to sleep walking.
General:
Problems in Sunday School teaching are not about learning curve, but more of facing disbeliefs from students...and sometimes teachers.
Though today's men praise how evolved they are to be rid of eunuchs, but I'd say one can find many Christian eunuchs in church services today...that their ability to excel in God's works is as if they were emasculated.
When Jesus rebuked - No uprising against rebuked authorities.
I dare say American Christianity today is a pagan religion because I am not to cover up, but to want to solve and heal the situation.

Today I received both packages from my P.O. Box.
1. The remaining last 5 books in Dr. Tong's old series...thus completing the 22-book series. Which was actually owed to me by the late Rev. David Chen. I bought these directly from Taiwan. I feel happy. Though, I wish I had the video version instead.
2. A thick 600-page book, an autobiography of Leonard Ravenhill.
I carried these to work. No time to make a round trip home. I read the book on Len.
Although I have never read any of Ravenhill's book, I was impressed by him already because of Paul Washer's recommendation I once saw on youtube.
I had also looked up a few of his quotes before, which I have included in my journal before.
As I read, on the subway train, some impressive lines caught my eyes, ie.:
"He feared the Lord so much and feared no man." Foreword by Al Whittinghill
"Hebrews 11 is a divine mandate to read Christian Biography." - John Piper, pg. 2
What caught my eyes most thus far...this really had me...
"Len's mother told him twenty years later that after the midwife left the room, she laid her hands on him and prayed, "Lord, make this boy a preacher or don't let him live." She then dressed and went to the weekly prayer meeting, taking baby Len with her. So Leonard attended his first prayer meeting when he was two hours old... pg. 4
Now the liberals are making this a law...and the Christians are going crazy.
But then I have to ask, why are Christians so eager fighting for the right of federal exemption or campus priviledges?
Is the "give undo Caesar..." command so bitter to swallow?
Not to mention this is a country that promotes the separation of church and state.
"Only cowards don't fight for the rights"...one might reply.
Okay, but should one fight in a wise and glorious way? How can one fight for some right that's is expected to be granted by despise?
Yes, despise. Just as the Romans did the Jews, when they gave the Jews certain right of rituals. Had it been anything else, Jerusalem wouldn't have been destroyed decades later.
A call by a pastor to do evangelistic ministry in the city was rejected by me. I had put an entry here before that this pastor is banned from my ministry.
A leaderless ministry? Go to hell, you liar!
Any leaderless ministry is equivalent to a Godless ministry, no matter how much they claim God as the leader.
A ministry is called by God. The one called by God to do the ministry first must lead in that ministry, it is a very simple logic.
This is how today's churches of the West are in chaos, no leaders (except for titles), no one wants responsibilities (unless it is in a group format so no individual can take the blame for a fault).
But overall, I have thought it through, I will sum up the requirement of accepting Christians in my ministry as simply for only:
1. Those who love sinners.
2. Those who are not cowards.
Although I do not mention it, but these two generally cover Ameristians.
So yes, if I say no to them, that means, despite their contrary claim, they neither have the love for sinners, nor are they bold enough to do the ministry, or both.
I've seen how these so called "Christians" walk away from sinners, so I can say 'No' to them.
Keeps popping up even after I have selected "Always Ignore" at the file.
To Antivir, "Always Ignore" doesn't mean always ignore, it means, ignore until reboot.
So the file must be added to the configuration's exceptions (one for scanner, another for the Guard). Then it will be truly always ignored.
