Se que aun me queda una oportunidad Se que aun no es tarde para recapacitar Se que nuestro amor es verdadero Y con los años que me quedan por vivir Demostrare cuanto te quiero. Con los años que me quedan, Yo viviré por darte amor Borrando cada dolor, Con besos llenos pasión, Como te ame por vez primera Con los años que me quedan, Te haré olvidar cualquier error No quise herirte, mi amor Sabes que eres mi adoración Y lo seras mi vida entera. No puedo imaginar vivir sin ti No quiero recordar como te perdí Quizás fue inmadurez de mi parte No te supe querer Y te aseguro los años que me quedan Los voy a dedicar a ti Hacerte tan feliz Que te enamores mas de mi Yo te amare hasta que muera Como comprobar que no soy quien fui El tiempo te dirá, si tienes fe en mi, Que como yo te ame, Mas nadie, Te podrá amar jamas Dime que no es el final. Â

Sin ti No podré vivir jamás Y pensar que nunca más Estarás junto a mi Sin ti Que me puede ya importar Si lo que me hare llorar Está lejos de aquí Sin ti No hay clemencia en mi dolor La esperanza de mi amor Te la llevas al fin Sin ti Es inútil vivir Como inútil será El quererte olvidar Sin ti Es inútil vivir Como inútil será El quererte olvidar Sin ti Es inútil vivir Como inútil será El quererte olvidar Songwriters: Sigberto Garcia Sin ti lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC

The most beautiful song you will hear today...

Let me get this straight a Christian Baker refuses to make a special cake for a gay couple.The media, the liberals, and the Trump haters go crazy.We get all kinds legal opinions from would be constitutionalist lawyers, as well as people who just plain despise Christians.Eventually the SCOTUS rules in favor of the Baker for at least that one case. Yet here is a case that is more blatant, biased and hypocritical then that and the silence from the left is deafening. It really is pathetic how politicians, the Media, and hate groups like BLM, Occupy Wall Street, as well as Code Pink have manipulated so many people.

Wow!

So nice to see kids playing in the backyard, away from the phone... ? lollollollol  Â

Evidently God likes sparrows a lot.

The Great Leap Forward was a plan to restructure China’s economy, and develop the nation. One of the very first steps, was called the Four Pests campaign. It was a plan to eradicate mosquitos, flies, rats, and sparrows. The first ones make sense, but why sparrows? Apparently sparrows ate “too much fruit and grain,” and therefore needed to be exterminated. - It didnÂ’t make a whole lot of sense, but the campaign went through. The citizens of China were all encouraged to kill as many sparrows as they could. - To do this, they all got drums, pots, pans, or anything else that made a loud noise, and would use them to make a racket where the sparrows lived. Too scared to land, the sparrows would fly around until they dropped out of the sky from exhaustion. They would also destroy bird nests, smash their eggs, and even just shoot them out of the sky. There would be rewards for whoever could shoot the most sparrows in a day. - The campaign was enormously successful. They drove the sparrows perilously close to extinction. Now those pesky birds wouldnÂ’t eat the grain or fruit. Success! Or maybe not. As the Chinese soon found out, sparrows eat a lot of locusts. They are virtually their only predator. With all the sparrows gone, nothing was keeping the locusts in check. So what happened to the locust population? It exploded. It got insanely, obscenely, ridiculously massive. - And what do locusts eat? Grains, fruit, plants, and basically anything remotely edible. - Massive locust swarms moved across China and destroyed any and all food they came upon. There were so many, the swarms would routinely block out the sun. For years, the locusts destroyed huge amounts of food. This caused the largest famine in human history. Over 30 million people starved to death. It was one of the biggest humanitarian disasters of the 20th century. And all because the Chinese government decided to kill this guy. That, is the costliest mistake in history.  Â

by Associated Press, Updated at 12:55PM, May 7, 2018 Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella (Photo credit: JASON REDMOND/AFP/Getty Images) Microsoft is launching a $25 million initiative to use artificial intelligence to build better technology for people with disabilities. CEO Satya Nadella announced the new “AI for Accessibility” effort as he kicked off Microsoft’s annual conference for software developers. The Build conference in Seattle is meant to foster enthusiasm for the company’s latest ventures in cloud computing, artificial intelligence, internet-connected devices and virtual reality. Microsoft competes with Amazon and Google to offer internet-connected services to businesses and organizations. The conference and the new initiative offer Microsoft an opportunity to emphasize its philosophy of building AI for social good. The focus could help counter some of the privacy and ethical concerns that have risen over AI and other fast-developing technology, including the potential that software formulas can perpetuate or even amplify gender and racial biases. In unusually serious terms for a tech conference keynote, Nadella name-checked the dystopian fiction of George Orwell and Aldous Huxley, declared that “privacy is a human right” and warned of the dangers of building new technology without ethical principles in mind. Related Story Bill Gates dedicates $158 million to American poverty issues “We should be asking not only what computers can do, but what computers should do,” Nadella said. “That time has come.” The five-year accessibility initiative will include seed grants for startups, nonprofit organizations and academic researchers, as well as deeper investments and expertise from Microsoft researchers. Microsoft President Brad Smith said the company hopes to empower people by accelerating the development of AI tools that provide them with more opportunities for independence and employment. “It may be an accessibility need relating to vision or deafness or to something like autism or dyslexia,” Smith said in an interview. “There are about a billion people on the planet who have some kind of disability, either permanent or temporary.” Those people already have “huge potential,” he said, but “technology can help them accomplish even more.” Related Story Distracted by technology? Microsoft tries to help Microsoft has already experimented with its own accessibility tools, such as a “Seeing AI” free smartphone app using computer vision and narration to help people navigate if they’re blind or have low vision. Nadella introduced the app at a previous Build conference. Microsoft’s translation tool also provides deaf users with real-time captioning of conversations. “People with disabilities are often overlooked when it comes to technology advances, but Microsoft sees this as a key area to address concerns over the technology and compete against Google, Amazon and IBM,” said Nick McQuire, an analyst at CCS Insight. Smith acknowledged that other firms, especially Apple and Google, have also spent years doing important work on accessibility. He said Microsoft’s accessibility fund builds on the model of the company’s AI for Earth initiative, which launched last year to jumpstart projects combating climate change and other environmental problems. The idea, Smith said, is to get more startups excited about building tools for people with disabilities — both for the social good and for their large market potential. Other announcements at the Build conference include partnerships with drone company DJI and chipmaker Qualcomm. More than 6,000 people are registered to attend, most of them developers who build apps for Microsoft’s products. Facebook had its F8 developers’ gathering last week. Google’s I/O conference begins Tuesday. Apple’s takes place in early June. This is the second consecutive year that Microsoft has held its conference in Seattle, not far from its Redmond, Washington, headquarters.

https://religionnews.com/2018/05/07/prayer-rattles-speaker-ryan-but-house-chaplain-gets-to-stay-in-politics/ What was at issue with the Speaker and, no doubt, with millions who would side with him that day, was not the chaplain’s being in politics, but rather, his seeming to take a stand that would alienate many. Was the chaplain betraying his calling? He could cite chapter and verse in the Bible, in Catholic social theology, and in the Jesuit tradition for backing. He could also try to show how pursuing the assurance that “benefits” of tax plans would be “balanced and shared” by all citizens was in place. How to assure that is, of course, a complex matter, but his prayer was not laying out a legislative program. That is something legislators on all sides have to deal with. After a conflict like last week’s, thoughtful citizens look for a better way. Some say “abolish the chaplaincy,” and all will be balanced and shared. Or: “remove religious discourse and contention from the political scene.” Or: “remove religion.” The founders did well by not proposing a neat solution for how to deal with religion or religions, but establishing where religious institutions are subordinated to the political in political doings. Subordinated, yes, though they are “ordinated”—they have their ever-shifting places in our inescapable political order. Somehow the padre and his fellow Catholic, Speaker Ryan, eventually came to terms such that the delicate discourses and contentions in that political order can continue to make their respective contributions to the common good, potentially even in “shared” and “balanced” ways.
