Why you lose interest in people who have the most interest in you

Lifestyle & Social
You recently started dating your dream guy. He’s hot, and he’s got a great smile and a fantastic personality. He likes the same stuff you do. You both love watching old movies and he has a pet you adore. He’s honest, trustworthy, and totally into you. He’s amazing. And you? You’re bored. You’ve lost interest, and it’s probably not because there’s anything wrong with him. The problem lies with you, sister. This most likely isn’t the first time you’ve felt this way. You met a guy and had a chance to make something great out of it, but then it wasn’t too long before you became annoyed at the way he chewed his straw in the restaurant or the wheezy sound of his snores. You got mad because he squeezed the toothpaste from the middle, or left his ke...

These individuals are true heroes of the faith. They faced the challenging task of ministering the Christian evangel in a context that often resisted it, resulting in significant losses. Then, a tall Irish man emerged on the scene: Pastor James McKeown. He preached the word far and wide, establishing a thriving church to the glory of our Christ.

Scientists grow whole model of human embryo, without sperm or egg

Scientists grow whole model of human embryo, without sperm or egg

Health & Wellbeing, International, Lifestyle & Social
Scientists have grown an entity that closely resembles an early human embryo, without using sperm, eggs or a womb.  The Weizmann Institute team say their “embryo model”, made using stem cells, looks like a textbook example of a real 14-day-old embryo. It even released hormones that turned a pregnancy test positive in the lab. The ambition for embryo models is to provide an ethical way of understanding the earliest moments of our lives. The first weeks after a sperm fertilises an egg is a period of dramatic change – from a collection of indistinct cells to something that eventually becomes recognisable on a baby scan.  This crucial time is a major source of miscarriage and birth defects but poorly understood.  “It’s a black box and that’s not a cliche – our ...

Scammer poses as ‘God’, asks woman for deposits at ‘Bank of Heaven’

Scammer poses as ‘God’, asks woman for deposits at ‘Bank of Heaven’

International, Lifestyle & Social
A Spanish man stands accused of taking advantage of an overly-religious old woman by posing as her Lord and Savior and asking her to deposit money at His ‘Church of Heaven’. Could you say ‘no’ to God? What if He called you directly to ask for a favor? Esperanza, an elderly woman from León, in northwestern Spain, could not refuse God when He called her on her telephone and told her to put her savings in His ‘Church of Heaven’, because it offered better interest than earthly ones. The woman never once suspected that she was being scammed, as she was convinced that she was a ‘chosen of the Virgin’ long before receiving the call, so getting a direct call from the Almighty didn’t really seem that strange. Over six years, Esperanza followed God’s instructions and deposited around 3...
