Knowledge is useless…unless we have the character and the gumption to live by it. And it takes a person of character to put that knowledge into practice. Character is what eventually makes or breaks leaders, yet it’s the most ignored and overlooked aspect of leadership development today. This plan focuses on the person and not just on leadership habits.

Money handlers at the Treasury learn to spot counterfeit bills by familiarizing themselves with intricate patterns found in the real thing. Likewise, understanding the brokenness of sexual sin begins with God’s design for authentic sexual intimacy. The sacredness of human sexuality transcends the physical act itself. It reflects God’s holiness, His relationship within the Trinity, and His desire to conform your body, soul, and mind to the image of Christ.

Environmental damage and climate change are threatening the lake which is often described as Cambodia's "beating heart". With its rich and diverse ecosystem, Cambodia's Tonle Sap Lake is often described as the beating heart of the country, supporting the livelihoods of more than one million people and attracting visitors from across the region. Yet, climate change and man-made pressures are affecting the lake, resulting in a drastic reduction in its fish stocks and worrying low water levels. Earlier this year, the Global Nature Fund designated it as the world's most "threatened" for 2016. "In recent years, the water volume continuously declined with negative impacts on fish migration and the import of sediments," GNF said in a statement. "In some places in the Tonle Sap Lake, the water level dropped more and more in the dry season and wetlands dried up permanently. Beyond that, illegal fishing methods, like poison, explosives and smal

Diabetes is a disease that occurs when the pancreas does not secrete enough insulin or the body is unable to process it properly. Insulin is the hormone that regulates the level of sugar (glucose) in the blood. The effect of diabetes on the eye is called diabetic retinopathy. Diabetic retinopathy is a common complication of diabetes, it may not have any symptoms or may not affect sight in the early stages but, as the condition progresses, eventually the sight will be affected. When the condition is caught early, treatment is effective at reducing or preventing damage to sight. Diabetic related sight loss is the most common form of blindness in people of working age in Ireland. In about 10% of cases, diabetic macular oedema (DME) may occur where blood vessels leak their contents into the macular region of the retina and this may cause a more rapid form of vision loss.

here are some substances on Earth that children of all ages seem to be fascinated with. For example, lava captures the imagination in a way that few other substances can. The thought of molten rock flowing down a mountain consuming everything in its path gives us thrills and chills. Some children even play tag and keep away games in which certain areas are deemed to be filled with hot lava and are thus off limits. Likewise, many children are amazed by the corrosive powers of acid. If you've ever seen a piece of metal turned to a bubbling, fizzing liquid when it encounters acid, you know the awesome chemical power acid has. Many people don't realize that their own stomachs contain acid that's powerful enough to destroy metal. Sure, we know all about stomach acid and how it helps us digest food, but it's certainly not that powerful, is it? You bet it is! Stomach acid, sometimes called gastric acid, consists of potassium chloride, sodium chloride, and hydrochloric acid

Brushing Before BedI think it is universally understood that you should go to sleep with clean teeth but we don’t always follow the rules (even me). Whether it is finals week, and you are overwhelmed with studying, or you are just so exhausted from the day, we all are probably guilty of forgetting to brush or of having a snack before bed without brushing at least once in our lives. Whatever the excuse, dirtying up your teeth and then going to bed is not how you maintain a healthy mouth. Your mouth is not a sterile environment (and it shouldn't be). The purpose of brushing is to refresh and turnover microbes on the surfaces of your teeth to prevent stagnant masses of unhealthy plaque from developing as well as deliver fluoride via toothpaste to strengthen teeth. Even after brushing, there are still reduced numbers of bacteria on the surfaces of your teeth. From the minute you are done brushing, bacterial plaques begin to regrow and mature based on the available bacteria in t

You know what..... he is an Igbo man... I respect his courage...." and I pray God to guide him through that
