William had a dream of bringing electricity and running water to his village. And he was not prepared to wait for politicians or aid groups to do it for him. The need for action was even greater in 2002 following one of Malawi’s worst droughts, which killed thousands of people and left his family on the brink of starvation.

Unable to attend school, he kept up his education by using a local library. Fascinated by science, his life changed one day when he picked up a tattered textbook and saw a picture of a windmill. Mr Kamkwamba told the BBC News website: “I was very interested when I saw the windmill could make electricity and pump water.

"I thought: ‘That could be a defense against hunger. Maybe I should build one for myself’." When not helping his family farm maize, he plugged away at his prototype, working by the light of a paraffin lamp in the evenings. But his ingenious project met blank looks in his community of about 200 people.

"Many, including my mother, thought I was going crazy," he recalls. "They had never seen a windmill before." [x]

In 2014, William Kamkwamba received his 4-year degree at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire where he was a student.

Woolly Mammoth DNA has been successfully implemented into Asian elephants genes!

Geneticist George Church, professor of genetics at Harvard University, and a team of researchers copied DNA from a woolly mammoth carcass preserved in the Arctic permafrost and pasted the genetic code into an Asian elephants genome and found they function normally. The group of scientists selected genes associated with the mammoth’s ability to resist the cold, including hairiness and haemoglobin, and used a DNA editing tool called CRISPR to splice genes from the mammoths’ ears, subcutaneous fat, and hair length into the DNA of elephant skin cells. The tissue cultures represent the first time woolly mammoth genes have been functional since the last of its species went extinct on Wrangel Island around 3,300 years ago.

While the experiment takes a bold, new step in genetic research, it’s also prompted debates over the ethics of the procedure within the scientific community. What do you guys think?

Sickness Isn’t Only Physical! By Joyce Meyer

The Bible teaches that Jesus came to heal our wounds, to bind up and heal our broken hearts, and to give us beauty instead of ashes and the oil of joy instead of mourning (see Isaiah 61:1-3).

Many Christians read this scripture and know that God wants to heal us from physical and spiritual sickness, but there’s more to it than that. The truth is that our emotions are part of our makeup and they can become sick like any other part of us.

The world today is full of people who are suffering from emotional pain. The cause is often abuse, rejection, abandonment, betrayal, disappointment, judgment, criticism or other negative behavior by others. This emotional pain can be more devastating than physical pain because people feel that they have to hide it and pretend it isn’t real.

If you have an emotional wound in your life, you need to know that Jesus wants to heal you. Don’t make the mistake of thinking He is interested only in your spiritual and physical life. Take your wounds to Him. Jesus wants to heal you everywhere you hurt! Prayer Starter: Lord, thank You for caring about every part of me, including my emotions. Any emotional pains and wounds that I have, I bring to You. I know that You can heal and restore me.

Canadian Ebola Vaccine Trial Reveals Promising Results

The first human trials of a designed-in-Canada Ebola vaccine suggest it is safe and triggers a rapid immune response, two articles published Wednesday reveal. The work, based on six clinical trials in the United States, Switzerland, Germany, Gabon and Kenya, found the vaccine quickly generates antibodies in people who receive it. Whether those antibodies protect against infection remains to be seen, but early evidence suggests that is a strong possibility. The vaccine is called rVSV-ZEBOV and was created by scientists at the National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg, part of the Public Health Agency of Canada. It is being developed by U.S. biotech NewLink Genetics and pharma giant Merck.
