A Word From Mark Zukerberg

I'm so excited about our Oculus announcement today. Here's a photo of me playing with a virtual bow and arrow before we unveiled the new Touch controllers to the world.

Filmmaker’s ‘Wild’ Confession

Author of “Confessions of a Wildlife Filmmaker”, When I first got into television in the early 1980s, I brought home a film on bears my colleagues and I had just completed to show my wife, Gail. She loved it. She particularly liked the shot of a grizzly bear stepping through a stream. The sun was dappling on its back and water could be heard dripping off its paws.
Gail asked me how we got the shot and I told her we used a powerful telescopic lens. Then she asked how we got the sound. I had to admit that my talented sound guy had filled a basin full of water, ruffled it with his hand and elbow, recorded the splashes he made, and matched those sounds to the footage.
Gail was shocked. “You’re a big fake” she said. I’d made a documentary and she expected authenticity and truth.

THE HEART

   

The most likely attitude(s) that comes from people is already embedded withing the "soul". I may not be aged to a greater extent, i might not have lived multiple decades to say, but life has taught me simplicity to see bigger things in a wider range and as such always make me to conclude a simple life therein. If everybody could grow a heart that make peace, life could have been just like a slow moving waters with no harsh tide, but as gentle and wise like a dove. Even, if you cant forget, yet still forgive and let go. When you lighten your heart, you will even be able to find peace within your own soul through the heart.

Words For The Lost Soldiers: Isn't It Right?

...........ISN’T IT RIGHT...........
Oh! Lord, we ask that you bless,
 The soul of all those that had given their lives to protect us
We ask you comfort their home
Touch the lives that had loss “gem” in their family

There is nothing we could say to bring them back,
Only to keep them in our hearts,
Not as legends like others,
But as the greatest heroes known to mankind,
They signed to die for the protection of the citizenry
In a great nation like Nigeria,
I’ve never known a day set aside to celebrate these heroes,
To remember the “great legends” we had lost.

Believe me or not,
I cry deep down putting this together
To the bone;
The soldiers we had lost,
They are more than just heroes
“great legends”, I refer to the lost Nigerian soldiers.

Now! They are, as the greatest gift we shouldn’t lose.
My heart calls for a day set aside to keep them in remembrance

Isn’t it so right to celebrate our heroes?
Let’s stop calling only the activists, politicians’ legends
Because each day, we keep losing our heroes to the journey of no return
I am moved,
I am touched,
And I am motivated to keep remembering them

Only from a mere “beat” of music.
My Nigeria “heroes”
I love you
I have you close to the heart
I keep remembering you as long as I live
May the angels watch over you all.

It's A New Idea: Twitter Finally Reveals Its Plan to Make Money From All Those Free Tweets Posted Everywhere

Promoted tweets will now appear in third-party apps like Flipboard.

Promoted tweets are going to show up outside of Twitter for the first time, the company announced today, revealing part of its strategy for increasing ad exposure that had been been limited to its own site and apps.

Now, it will serve paid Twitter messages to partner sites and apps, including Flipboard and Yahoo Japan, partly owned by Yahoo. Both Web properties already have strong Twitter integrations with sections devoted to streams of activity powered by the social messaging site.

Twitter said its Promoted Tweets would show up in those Twitter content areas on the third-party sites, as well as in other sections of the sites, and the ads would have the "same look and feel that is native" to the experiences on them.

THE GREATEST GAME IS FOCUS

Errand is just the channel, where you are heading has its own route; a way taken in getting from starting point to a destination. “The greatest game ever played is FOCUS”.

Thou, a flowing water might have a channel, its route through a course but never achieve the focus of flowing round the universe. In the greatest game of life, the only substitute anyone has is determination. Although, clock is ticking, the voice is heard but your time can never walk past you even when you think you seem to be moving slow. All these might sound as some word of courage, encouragement, counsel, and talk of wisdom, but at the same time, it is a walk of eternity when you “trek a foul” (no determination).

Like it was said, errand is just a short journey you have around before you head for your own journey  of purpose or to collect from nature. As well, trek a foul is also a long difficult journey especially using “foot” on the other hand. What makes you move faster is the ticking of your own focus and not the ticking of the clock. When the time ticks, you begin to start letting down because you listen to it and believing the time is getting past. You are already waiting for the whistle of the field controller (the referee) but when your focus is only your sound of mind on the field of life, you seem in control of the rolling ball (the Universe) and your fans support you with their hails and wave motion. The errand is to score the “Goal”!

To life and nature, everything that is sweet might not be a sweet because it could have an harmful end and also, everything that is sour might not be forever sour, it might have a greater end. In the year 1913, in one great city in United State of America, a boy named Francis Ouitment, rose out from the ashes to be the most watched golf ambassador in the history because of his untouched focus even when those very dear to him are the sounds of discouragement (foul) to him. He chose a very sly and ridiculous boy in the view of filty rich people as his golf partner, but this short boy was his courage even when game is tight. Francis played knot with the with the United State players. He even played the world best of that Millennium Mr. J. Verdon.

For what you are doing good presently as a sound mind, all what you need to keep doing is “PLAY THE GREATEST GAME OF FOCUS”. Work harder now, thou, it might look “sour” but with your diligence, determination and your focus, no one can threaten you. You have your greatest opportunity over them.

Always say this; “if you want to stop me, you have to work past me”. Be your inner self.

FBI put up reward in a case of Mississippi girl burned to death

This shows 19-year-old Jessica Chambers of Panola County, Miss.

The FBI has added $25,000 to a reward set up to catch the killer of a teenager who was set on fire last month in a case that rocked a small Mississippi town and drew national attention, authorities confirmed to FoxNews

The federal funds bring to $43,000 the total amount being offered for information leading to the person who killed 19-year-old Jessica Chambers, who was found alive, but badly burned and staggering along the side of a Panola County road on Dec. 6. Investigators remain baffled, but Panola County District Attorney John Champion said he hopes the money might yield more clues in the murder.

"I still have hope that people will do the right thing regardless of monetary benefit, but we can't ignore the fact that money can be a driving force," Champion told FoxNews.com Tuesday. "This is the most frustrating case I’ve ever had to deal with in my 22 years in law enforcement."

Eminem Visits Terminally ill Cancer Patient Gage Garmo After Learning Teen Has Days to Live

Call him the real sweet Shady. Eminem fulfilled the lifelong wish of terminally ill cancer patient Gage Garmo this past weekend, when he met with the teen face to face in his Rochester, Michigan home.

The superstar rapper, 42, surprised Garmo, 17, on Sunday, Jan. 11, after learning that the ailing high school student had one week to live. The Detroit Free Press reported that the two sat together in Garmo's living room, and talked hip-hop and football.

Their meet and greet was made possible via social media efforts after Garmo's friends and classmates spread the word that the teen, wanted to meet his idol before he passes away. Michigan-based charity The Rainbow Connection, which grants wishes to children facing terminal illnesses, caught wind of Garmo's case, and set up a meeting within 48 hours.

California Women Accused of Shackling, Starving 8-year-old Daughter Are Headed For Trial

Two Northern California women accused of chaining up their 8-year-old adopted daughter to prevent her from getting food will face trial on torture and other abuse-related charges.

The Monterey County Herald reported Thursday that Eraca Dawn Craig and Christian Jessica DeAnda each face charges including child abuse, child endangerment, false imprisonment and torture.

They are also charged in connection with the treatment of two boys, ages 5 and 3.

A deputy conducting the welfare check last March in Salinas said she found "bruised" children. The girl told deputies she was chained to a wall "all day, every day" and would be struck with a belt as punishment.

Prosecutors say Craig and DeAnda will be arraigned Jan. 21 before standing trial. DeAnda's lawyer, Jeremy Dzubay, didn't immediately return a message seeking comment. Information for Craig's lawyer couldn't be found.

I'm even thinking all second within me when I got this report if this women are not brain-damage. It's weird.

My Word: A Different Story

All lives starts somewhere. Every soul evolve from somewhere, it's either natural, metaphysical (supernatural) beginning. 

Lots of people started with so much and while many started with little or even none. Some kinds are born with gold spoon, some with silver, some with wooden and lots with no spoon at all. But an able and a complete man is born with his hands from the start. 

The Bible says, "blessed is the man that is diligent in his work, he shall stand before kings and not mere men". This shows God want a mighty man that accept not defeat. He says yes to no man who relents. As a man like me, I was born with something I could say "it's no spoon" at all. But yet, I strive hard and never for once accept defeat and believe within me that for one reason or the other, "I am born to make a greater exploit and magnificent impacts into my own life and as well discharge to the nations.

 From my source in life, I started roughly, with agony and sometimes even pain because my background isn't "coated" at all. And yet, I still believes a different story to be fully told that I'm a winner and a triumphant. Because in all, I am still living, therefore, I can be anything great as long as I call it no quite. 

Always think, wish and dream big because you have a different story.
