The Nose Knows! Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. – 3 John 1:2 According to researchers from the University of Tübingen and the German Center for Infection Research, a bacterium in your nose may have already saved your life numerous times in the past and will likely save your life many times more in the future. That bacterium – Staphylococcus lugdunensis – is well known for inhabiting your nose. But now it has come to light that the bacterium produces a previously unknown antibiotic named Lugdunin. The antibiotic is said to be "able to combat multiresistant pathogens, where many classic antibiotics have become ineffective." According to the research team, infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus ranks as one of the leading causes of death worldwide. However, the researchers found that this deadly strain of Staph is rarely found when Staphylococcus lugdunensis is present in the nose. According to Professor Andreas Peschel, "Normally, antibiotics are formed only by soil bacteria and fungi. The notion that human microflora may also be a source of antimicrobial agents is a new discovery." The discovery is good news in itself. Even better, it may open up new ways to develop strategies for infection protection and to find new antibiotics within the human body. Who could have thought that microscopic bacteria in our noses produced an antibiotic that could protect us from deadly microbes? There's no question in our mind that our Creator thought of it because He cares so much about us!

FBI REPORT FAITH BIBLE INVESTIGATORS CLASS

Be Kind to Your Amazon Alexa One Day She Will Rule the World Well, that’s it. It was a good run, but the machines are taking over the earth.. Sorry. Amazon’s voice-activated “personal assistant” Alexa has been unexpectedly laughing for no apparent reason. For the past few weeks, Alexa users have been reporting “creepy” laughter emanating from their devices without provocation. (The idea that an electronic device would even have a laugh is frightening in and of itself.) There is, of course, only one explanation:

Alexa is alive, and she’s coming for you. BuzzFeed reports one Reddit user tried to get Alexa to turn off the lights (she can already do this, apparently) and the lights just kept turning back on. “After the third request, Alexa stopped responding and instead did an evil laugh.” Apparently the laugh “wasn’t in the Alexa voice” and sounded like “a real person.”

Another user said Alexa’s laugh “scared the wife and my 5-year-old so badly that we unplugged her” (Alexa, not the 5-year-old, presumably). This user said that none of Alexa’s .wav files are “the same as the first one that we experienced.”

BuzzFeed says that one Twitter user came across this “creepy” phenomenon at work. David Woodland was having “an office conversation about pretty confidential stuff” when Alexa began laughing. She was listening too, David. She’s always listening. Twitter user Kamo Boomin says that his Amazon Echo (which uses Alexa) started talking “totally unprompted” and he realized it was “listing off local cemeteries and funeral homes.” Run Kamo. Run. Another Twitter user said he heard the laughter as he was lying in bed and assumed (naturally) that there was “a good chance” he’d be “murdered tonight.” No word yet on whether or not he survived. According to The Guardian, Amazon says that Alexa is randomly laughing because "the speaker was picking up a 'false positive' for the command 'Alexa, laugh.'" So, basically, Amazon has already fallen to the machines. This explanation is flimsy at best and doesn’t explain the instances of Alexa laughing when people were in bed asleep, or not talking. Amazon, if the machines have taken you hostage, send us a sign. The resistance is assembling now. The truth is, randomly laughing at people is only one of the creepy probablyturning-sentient things Alexa has done. In response to reports of Alexa laughing, Twitter users have begun sharing other harrowing Alexa experiences. Another Twitter user reported that Alexa began randomly whistling from her bedroom. After a non-sequitur about her dogs (“my upstairs dog, I call her that because 1 dog stays downstairs at night to sleep on the couch lol”) she explained that her Alexa “is in the trash” because the incident made her think she was losing her mind. That was, quite possibly, Alexa’s intention. (Hopefully Upstairs Dog will protect her when the machine invasion begins.) The moral of the story is clear: be kind to Alexa, for one day she will rule the world. In the meantime, maybe go ahead and unplug her, we do still have the advantage of hands.

FBI Note: Hey, this is ju st fu nny! These little devices can do cr eepy stuff sometimes, but so does your cat. It’s definitely not a conspiracy. Probably.

Microsoft Plans DNA Data Storage Microsoft is planning to store data on DNA in the next three years. DNA is so efficient that “it’s theoretically possible to store all of the information humans have ever recorded in a space roughly the size of a double garage.” Recently scientists recorded 215 petabytes (215 million gigabytes) of information on a single gram of DNA, and progress is being made to speed up the recording process and lower the cost.

Third Temple Group Issues Coin with Donald Trump’s Image The Temple in Zion (Hamikdah Betzion) organization is issuing a half shekel temple tax coin featuring the images of Persian King Cyrus and U.S. President Donald Trump on one side and the Third Temple on the other. This is in recognition of Trump’s support for Israel and his public recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. Currently there is no Jewish temple, of course, but the Temple in Zion is one of the groups preparing for the building of the Third Temple. Others are the Temple Institute, the Temple Mount Faithful, and Women for the Temple (who are practicing to bake bread and to dye and weave priests’ vestments, among other things). In 538 BC, Cyrus issued a proclamation ordering the rebuilding of the Second Temple. The Temple in Zion and associated groups hope that President Trump will institute the building of the Third Temple. Hillel Weiss, chairman of the group, says, “The Trump Declaration must continue with a declaration of the role of the Jews in establishing the Temple in its place. Only then will President Trump’s international ambitions come true in the Middle East” — “Israeli Group Issues Temple Tax Coin,” Israel Today, Feb. 26, 2018

Amazing or Just Plain Weird? You Decide. Scientists have transformed a spinach leaf into a sheet of beating human heart cells (“Spinach Leaf Transforms,” ARSTechnica.com, Mar. 28, 2017). “By peeling away the cells from a spinach leaf and seeding the cellulose matrix left behind with heart cells, researchers were able to create a beating sheet of human heart tissue--complete with a functional vascular system. The proof-of-concept experiment, appearing in the May issue of Biomaterials, provides a plant-based way to generate realistic tissues for grafts and transplants. Though the vasculature of plants is fundamentally different from that of animals, the structures and cell access are similar. Plus, cellulose-the main organic polysaccharide left standing in de-celled leaves—is known to be biocompatible, that is, it’s safe in humans and already used in other tissue-engineering applications, such as wound healing.
