DO YOU KNOW!!!

That God gave the Bible through the Jewish People for mankind, but today there are about 14 million Jewish people in the world and almost 99% of them do not believe in Yeshua (Jesus) as their Messiah.

Statistics show that more than half of the Jewish people who do believe in Yeshua came to know Him through reading the Messianic Prophecies.

Encourage your friends to read the New Testament and the prophecies of Christ in the Old Testament.

GODLY LIFE

A GODLY LIFE

You must determine to do what Romans 6:12 says and "let not sin...reign in your mortal body."
Meditate day and night on the Word of God Joshua 1:8
Pray without ceasing. 1 Thessalonians 5:17
Having the mind of Christ. 1 Corinthians 2:16.
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Philippians 2:5
If we do these things, then we would have no time to meditate on the things of this world, would we?

Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but let us be transformed by the renewing of our mind, that we may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Psalm 10:14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Are we a new creation? How much have we changed since giving our life to Jesus? Have we really given our heart to Jesus, or have we just repented of our sins, and continued in our old way without letting Jesus change us?
Is Jesus really the Lord of our life?
There is a war going on inside of us right now.
I guess there will be a war going on until we are promoted to Glory, as satan does not want anyone of us to reach our heavenly mansion.

Just as I Am

"Just as I am, without one plea,
But that Thy blood was shed for me,
And that Thou bidd'st me come to Thee,
O Lamb of God I come! I come!"

Charlotte Elliot (1789-1871)

Proverbs 18:21 Death and life [are] in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

Isaiah 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, (argue this out) saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, (No matter how deep the stain of your sins I can remove it) they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

I wonder if for some of us, there are still some stains of sin left in us, and day by day we are overcoming, maybe it is a struggle to overcome, and the Christians around us are making it even harder instead of helping us through the disastrous situation some are in.

Reading the book by Rev. Peter Hobson, "We all have our Demons" lets us know we will have to overcome until Jesus comes, due to our spiritual makeup.

Http://www.fullsalvationfellowship.com.au/

Rev Peter Hobson has a number of very good End Time Deliverance books written, each one being very valuable, and full of deliverance knowledge..

We are told each week that Jesus has forgiven us, for some, it would seem that there was no forgiveness left, but there is, while ever we have life there is hope.

Philippians 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out our own salvation with fear and trembling
.

How many of us are working out our Salvation with fear and trembling? Or are we just hoping that we will make it to heaven, hoping that things will just happen for us, and and doing everything else other than being filled with the Holy Spirit? Only each one of us can answer this.

2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
’

It is so important that we do humble ourselves and pray, and the more we pray, the closer we come to Jesus and the more protection we have in these last days.
God the Father made us to have fellowship with Him, and we do have to ask ourselves; do we have the fellowship that He requires of us.
Love you, and bless you, and The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: Numbers 6:25

Love and Blessings

Identity Theft and Symptoms of Love.

Before I proceed with this article, I want to say thank you to all my readers and those who follow my updates.





Technology has been helpful to mankind in many ways- in the banking sector it has make financial transaction easy, it has been helpful in the educational institute’s and it has gradually increase efficiency in the health institute-Technology has improve life for some and has made many lazy and some less busy- even though we all appreciate technology and believe it has one in way or the other improve our lives, many women today are becoming victims for criminals engaging in dubious business by hidden behind technology.





Many years ago, Africa has been lacking behind development in terms of ICT or Information Technology- and many government in the west and the middle east have fight so much to help build an ICT Africa, today with the little technology we have- many men and women are able to hide behind this to dupe and prey on the westerners.





In 2007, a young woman from the United State called Sarah- met a another young man who claim to be from the United State- and working in the Caribbean, and both profess to be single and never married before, they become acquainted through the net and start communicating with each other, weeks have passed and the man start calling the young woman with a phone number originate from California (Los Angeles- to be precise). He started sending her flowers ordered via the internet- and their friendship has develop so much that the young woman fell in love with the man he has not seen before but only communicate via email and IM’s.





After three months passed- the young man proposed marriage and promise to come back home to New York from the Bahamas in the Caribbean, but he also claim that before he will come down to the U.S he must go to Africa- South Africa for a business contract, a week later he called the woman and claim he has traveled to South Africa and they chat and converse as usual, the day he promise to fly from South Africa to US- he claim another business problem occurs so he must go to Ghana.


Now, in Ghana- the took two weeks absence from contacting the woman- he later contact the woman and claim to be in a serious trouble- and the trouble was that “he has lost his credit card and has run out of money and he also needed to pay some money for his flight fare from Ghana direct to the US” the young woman become compassionate and decide to help him- he later sent him USD$10,000.





After weeks of silence, he contacted the young woman and ask for a huge sum of money he claim for a business he claim will benefit both of them for over 2 million US$, this business he claim was to order some Gold he come across at very cheap prices. Someone will wonder and ask how much did he required for! The woman with the heart of love later sent 300,000 US$Hidden behind technology in Ghana, he was able to send the woman through the Caribbean through to Europe and finally to Africa where he is originally.





Many women have been falling victim to these scammers from Africa- someone may wonder and ask how did they hide behind technology without them been notice where they are from!Here is the answer to your question.


In 2005 many internet dating site began to block access to people from Africa, due to the so many scam or duping taken place on the net- dating agencies such as www.tagged.com, www.lavalife.com , www.americansingles.com , www.mate1.com and many other dating agencies or website sites- such as www.bearwww.com , www.caffmosscommunity.com and many other homosexual dating sites.





As a result of this, these people from Africa would have to look for another way to get registered on this website without been notice- that was when the search for hiding behind technology began.





Many software developers by then have already develop software’s on the market that can hide your identity or IP address or location from been notice by any website server, such as the website mentioned above. Companies such as:


Hide-My-IP.Com - Protect your identity and your IP address. Hide My IP is easy to use software that allows you to hide your IP address at the click of a button. www.hide-my-ip.com/hidemyip.shtml.





Ninja Cloak Fast, free, anonymous web browsing with NinjaCloak.comNinja Cloak makes your browsing experience totally anonymous by hiding information such as your IP address from web servers, http://www.ninjacloak.com/.





Tunnelier (Bitvise)Bitvise Tunnelier: SSH Terminal, Tunneling and File Transfer Client.www.bitvise.com/tunnelier


All of the companies I mention above can hide your identity from any browser, server or security location blocker- and you can be in Ghana and register as America, Russian or UK, with this technologies and more- there is no way you can be prevent from becoming fake American.





Now what about the telephone number’s they have been using to make the phone calls? These are either GPRS or other means of technology such as: Magic JackmagicJack.com - (Never pay a monthly phone bill again) Free local and long distance calling in the USA and Canada. 100% Risk Free 30 Day Trial. www.magicjack.com/4/index.asp





(Magic Jack calling is a software you can buy install for your PC in any country- they will give you a valid US number and even though you are not in the US, you can receive phone calls the moment your PC is on and make phone calls across the world). Free International Phone Calls TUITALK Free Phone Calls.


www.tuitalk.com/ (With tuitalk, you even don’t pay- all you do is download and install to your PC) I can mention as many as I can imagine- yahoo offer phone numbers which you can own and make calls all over the world and receive phone calls without your location been identify- and with this technological abilities, people can do what they want whenever they want to.



They stole white men pictures from sites like: modelcoast.com, models.com, newfaces.com and many other modelling websites on the internet.


Now, back to the main story, after he collected the money from the young woman who thought she has found a lover- he was no where to be found after he called the woman and claim to be back in the US but wanted to sale the gold and refund her money- since he doesn’t want to marry her again.Some of the dubious criminals will not even contact you again talking about paying you back.





These have been the fate of many women who wanted to find a true love and not any other place, rather the internet dating.What saddens my heart is when I see these young men wasting the monies someone has spend years to sow and harvest and they using one week, month or year to destroy, I can IMAGINE the PAINS and SCARS they live on the heart and emotions of these women who have falling victim for them.





I remember rescuing two of these women and that happened by chance, I decide to visit the public café one afternoon- so when I got in the was this young man seated before a computer browsing and he was talking with two women from the US and I peep in his screen and I notice he was lying to them about giving or selling gold to them, I got the emails and later contact and find out that, they were about to send down huge sums of money for the Gold to be transported to them the next day before I got in.





Till now I am writing this article- there are countless number of young men involve in this dubious act and taken advantage of vulnerable women who hope to find genuine love on the internet.


Someone may wonder why! If you are a Christian then I refer you to the book of 2Timothy 3:1 to 7.Pass the story on and save someone from been a victim to the devil

Avoiding Identity Theft

Everyone seems to be worried about having their identity stolen, and justifiably so. Turn your back for a second, and your purse is gone. Fax information to someone, and the next thing you know, someone is buying concert tickets with your credit card.
There are some things you can do to help yourself in the event you become a victim of identity theft.

The next time you order checks have only your initials (instead of first name) and last name put on them. Your bank will know how you sign your checks.
Never have your Social Security number printed on your checks.
Make a coppy of both sides of each license and credit card. You will have all of the account numbers and phone numbers for the things in your wallet in case you need to call and cancel the cards. Keep the photocopy in a safe place. Make sure that someone knows how to access this information in an emergency.

Carry your wallet or billfold in a way that is difficult for someone to get a hold of. A pocket with a zipper works well. If someone grabs your purse, the articles most wanted aren't in there. If you carry your wallet in a fanny pack, wear it in front.
Carry a photocopy of your passport when you travel.

When you leave your passport in a hotel room, lock it in the safe.
Cancel your credit cards immediately if they are stolen.
File a police report in the jurisdiction in which the theft occurred.
Call the three national credit reporting organizations to place a fraud alert on your name and Social Security number.

Equifax: 1-800-525-6285

Experian (formerly TRW): 1-888-397-3742

Trans Union: 1-800-680-7289

Social Security Administration (fraud line): 1-800-269-0271

Remember, you can prevent this kind of thing from happeneing to you. Be smart, and don't give the thieves an opportunity to take advantage of you.
Summary
Have you or someone you know been a victim of identity theft? This article will help you avoid that, or show you what to do if it happens to you.

Self-managing internet applications

A European research project that incubates self-managing internet applications is paying off. It has inspired a Wikipedia that’s better than the original and super-efficient streaming video, with more to come.
The European research project SELFMAN has created a programming system that makes it much easier to build high-powered distributed internet applications that manage themselves.

Distributed applications tap the internet’s power by enabling hundreds, thousands, or even millions of devices and programs to link up and work together. These are the invisible programs that let users bank, buy and play games online, search for information, share files, and network with applications like Facebook and Twitter.
SELFMAN ensures that all those moving parts stay in touch, up-to-date, and work together smoothly without the teams of experts that have been needed to tweak, patch or protect the system as components come online or drop out, or in response to communication or component breakdowns, and even deliberate attacks.

“We want to make this kind of application easy, so people can really take advantage of this huge network of computers and small devices,” says Peter Van Roy SELFMAN’s coordinator based at the Université Catholique de Louvain, Louvain-La-Neuve in Belgium.
SELFMAN’s programming architecture and set of components have already sparked new applications that utilise and showcase its capabilities.
“It’s the first time that we’ve been able to get large internet applications with many computers talking together, when all the applications can take care of themselves,” says Van Roy. “Now we are taking this to the next level.”

What’s wilier than Wikipedia?
When you pitch a question to Wikipedia, you’re likely to be one of some 2000 people trying to access it that second. Wikipedia manages those 2000 requests per second, plus the constant stream of updates to its database of articles, by using at least 16 powerful database servers arranged in a master-slave architecture.
Researchers at the Zuse Institute Berlin (ZIB), one of SELFMAN’s academic partners, decided to test the SELFMAN approach by implementing Wikipedia’s core database in a flexible, scalable and self-managing distributed system.

They based their Wikipedia on Scalaris, an open-source distributed database system that incorporates SELFMAN’s self-configuring, self-tuning and self-healing capabilities.
“Every piece of information in our Wikipedia exists four times – that’s a number that we found works well – and is spread over all the nodes,” says Van Roy. “A clever algorithm called Paxos does the heavy lifting to make sure the nodes all agree.”

They expected that their Wikipedia would have several advantages, including higher reliability, lower operating costs, and scalability – the ability to add new capacity easily in response to increasing demand. The Scalaris-based Wikipedia met all those expectations.
“With our wiki, if ten times as many people start to use it, you just add more machines,” says Van Roy. “We can handle far more users than the actual Wikipedia.”
In addition, since Scalaris takes care of itself in the unpredictable internet environment, the costs of keeping it running are significantly reduced.
ZIB’s Scalaris-based Wikipedia won first prize in the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers 2008 Scalable Computing Challenge.
“It really shows the kind of things we want to do,” says Van Roy.
Streaming video on demand
The wide applicability of SELFMAN’s toolkit is evident in a completely different application – PeerTV, produced by another SELFMAN partner, Stockholm-based Peerialism.

“They had a very different problem,” says Van Roy. “PeerTV needed to manage load between flowing streams of video data coming from a few big servers but going to millions of clients.”
They solved the problem of streaming all that video reliably and efficiently by optimising peer-to-peer (P2P) networks with SELFMAN’s ability to balance loads and transfer data efficiently.
“Until now, P2P wasted enormous amounts of bandwidth because of its random routing of data,” says Van Roy. “Some service providers had to block certain P2P applications.”

In contrast, PeerTV connects components through a well-defined, constantly optimised topology. That “topologically aware” routing reduced network traffic by two-thirds.
Overall, PeerTV found that they could provide the same quality of service as established video providers, easily scalable to an unlimited number of viewers, but with a cost reduction of from 50 to 90 percent.

PeerTV has a direct commercial interest. Peerialism developed it for the Swedish company MPS Broadband AB, and Peerialism itself is currently being acquired by GGF.
Van Roy is excited by the varied applications that are starting to flow from SELFMAN. These include small applications, such as a program that lets users work together on a graphic design using their gPhones, and massive ones, such as a load-balancing system for France Telecom. But he is even more excited by SELFMAN’s implications.

“The actual smartness of the internet comes from applications like Google or Wikipedia, not from the plumbing that just shuffles data around,” says Van Roy. “SELFMAN takes those smart components and amplifies them – makes them automatically more efficient, more scalable and more robust.”
This is the second of a two-part special feature on SELFMAN.

The SELFMAN project received funding from the ICT strand of the EU’s Sixth Framework Programme for research.

ICT: The Communication Cars

Creating resilience for vehicular applications

European researchers have developed promising approaches to a long-neglected aspect of car-to-car and car-to-infrastructure communications: fault-tolerance and resilience. The technology is a vital component of emerging applications in such communication scenarios.

Automotive communications are a major element in the near future of vehicle technology, with applications ranging from variable road sign visualisation, to accident warnings and driver-support systems which automatically reduce speed in a hazardous situation. Ultimately, these systems could lead to much more automatic driving.
There are dozens of small, medium and large-scale EU-funded research projects aimed at safety on the road.

Hidenets is another one, but it is looking at a unique aspect: “We pretty much look at one aspect that has been neglected so far, mainly the reliability and dependability of applications running in these settings ... [making] sure that they do work reliably and that they are also available in the scenario, when you need them,” explains the project's coordinator Hans-Peter Schwefel.
Most projects look at specific issues relating to application optimisation, or fundamental communication issues – all essential elements for enhanced road safety through automotive communications.

But resilience is another essential aspect. Automotive communication in traffic scenarios is a phenomenally complex and dynamic field, dealing with vast numbers of fast-moving vehicles, all tied together by transitory webs of communications that can fade in and out. And they deal with potentially catastrophic events, like a car crash, where communications become even more vital.
The question Hidenets sought to answer was how can applications based on communications continue to function when the communications themselves break down?

“This is a problem that you don't only solve on the communications layer. The approach in Hidenets is to say that we cannot solve it all just by communications enhancements, we need to do something on middleware with some functionality that makes sure that, even if the communications doesn't work properly, the application can react to it, reconfigure itself and adapt to the situation,” Aalborg University's Schwefel stresses.
Platooning
It is an important problem. Aside from safety and reliability issues, user acceptance and adoption of automotive communications technologies will depend on their trustworthiness.

Take ‘platooning’, where cars drive in a line with the lead car driven by a human that passes control information like speed, braking, turning and indicating to following cars. The cars drive tightly together, to take advantage of the slipstream.
This is an extreme dependability scenario, and the cars following are driven by the in-car control system. Such a platooning application is currently envisaged mainly for trucks; it may still take quite some time until it is available for private vehicles. Nevertheless, it is a useful use-case scenario because it requires very fast and reliable communications and computations.

All cars need to receive each piece of information and they need to receive it quickly and reliably – even when other nearby platooning cars are crowding the bandwidth with information zipping between them.
The issues here are timeliness and the detection of timing violations is crucial, so Hidenets developed the concept of a Reliable and Self-Aware clock. Duration measurement is a concept that notes any slowing caused by the local network or sluggish computation and factors that into communications and the application behaviour.
Timely timing, no less
The Timely Timing Failure Detector keeps track of the performance and can take fault-tolerance measures if required, for example alternative routing or a controlled braking instruction.

There are many other use cases, like Assisted Transportation, which looks at general driver assistance and collision avoidance. Or Car Crashes, where a distributed ‘black box’ can help provide context in the moments up to the crash, information that is time stamped and passed on to infrastructure and other cars as they pass.
Hidenets developed dozens of elements addressing specific resilience needs, such as continuity of communication, continuity of data, back-up and alternative actions in the absence of communication.

The project developed lab-based proof-of-concept scenarios, both in scaled-down models using remote-control cars, and computer simulations mimicking the network traffic for a busy road. The demonstrators succeeded and validated the researchers’ approach.
But the greatest contribution of the project was to develop a reference architecture and design methodology and related tools, so that researchers in the future can benefit from what Hidenets learned in their work. It is an impressive package.
Challenges remain
Even though the project is finished, some research problems remain to be solved. “We developed promising approaches and demonstrators proved the concepts, but more work needs to be done, particularly in relation to standards,” warns Schwefel.
Standards are essential if fault-tolerance and resilience are to gain traction in the industry, though Schwefel sees some promise in the example from the telecoms industry.
“The telecoms industry only started to really talk about resilience and reliability in the early 90s, but it was the late 90s by the time they had developed standard approaches to the problem. Before that they were proprietary,” he reveals.

One of the main fault-tolerance safeguards in the telecoms sector is a concept called cluster solutions, where multiple back-up nodes ensure communication is smoothly maintained even if an individual node breaks down. That is not an option for the highly dynamic traffic environment.
Nonetheless, Hidenets has made a promising start and Schwefel believes work on standards will begin to emerge as more and more in-car communications applications become active and the issue becomes more urgent.

In the meantime, the Hidenets consortium will discuss future potential projects and will continue their work through other research efforts. “And the partners have developed strong relationships and will continue to cooperate on certain aspects of the problem,” Schwefel underlines.
Ultimately, though, Hidenets has put resilience on the car communications development roadmap.
The Hidenets project received funding from the ICT strand of the EU’s Sixth Framework Programme for research.

Eradicating Internet Fraud In Ghana

In 2008, statistic or certified data show's that, only about 5% of Ghanaians have access to Internet, and about these 5% of the population having access to Internet- almost 99% of them are youth and teens.

It has been certified that- almost these 5% of Ghanaians accessing internet have had either formal or informal education. According to a recent statistic from Interpol Ghana, majority of these population having access to Internet had Basic School Education and they constitute to about 50%, Senior High School or Vocational school graduate constitute to 20% and 30%constitute professionals or University Graduate.



Now, almost 98% of the youth having access to the Internet are engage in Internet fraud. Recent International research confirms that- 98% of the Ghanaian youth accessing Internet are engage in Internet fraud, which means that- the substantial reason why many organizations are fighting to embed ICT or Internet into our education sector has been corrupt.
Most of the youth does not see the internet as an opportunity for open trade market or an instrument to enhance their education.

Just like a virus in pipe borne water can spread quickly, about 3 out of every ten students or pupils in basic school are said to engage in Internet fraud.
This resulting in school dropout, disobedience, crime and joblessness.

For this reason about 98% of the Ghanaian youth are not able to use the internet to enhance their education or future business or trade endeavors.
It has also been confirm that, for most of these youth engaging that are into internet fraud, their first encounter with the internet was to engage in an internet fraud. With these people, their first introduction to the internet was not done by a teacher in school or a community career center but rather friends who are already engage in the dubious business, meaning that there is no way they can have idea about the good ways of using the internet except for fraudulent activities.

For these reasons and more, I and my colleagues have decided to embark on a campaign, we theme: Internet for Education, Job Creation and Better World.
Already, we have been to three basic schools in the last two months, starting from our own community where this act is obvious. What we do is educate the student on how they can use the internet for school research, project works, articles that will enhance their English and know more about this global world. We teach them how to use search engines, libraries and other educational resources.

And this we do by organizing two days workshop for every basic school with permission from the school authorities.
So far it has been educative, entertaining and successful; the problem facing this project is as a result of funds to reach our target. Many of this schools does not have access to the internet in their campuses where we can meet majority of the student and as a result, we have been using wireless or mobile internet service provided by the telecommunication providers, which is very expensive.

Transportation problems, PCs and etc, we have hence decided to seek for funds from the public, and most the parent- does not know the implication of internet fraud on my our nation- getting donation from them is very much impossible.

We are therefore appealing to the public to be of help, so that I and my other three colleagues can realize this dream of ours in eradicating internet fraud and inculcating internet for education into our basic schools.

Currently I and some of my colleagues are offering free ICT tutoring in some of the basic schools. Please contact us to offer your assistance.

Sincerely grateful
