Immigration staff at Heathrow have wide powers to cancel people's visas etc.

Doesn't Murphy's law tell you that these powers will be inappropriately used ?

For computer programming, do changes to the development method work ?
One might ask "Does outsourcing of computer programming work ?", but it's not only "outsourcing" that is the problem, it's "(wrong) changes to the development method".

If you outsource a 1 line change of code, you are really outsourcing a big job.

You are outsourcing the infrastructure.

If you're not careful, you will be outsourcing "bodgie little changes" to your system.

Why even bother to outsource ? Why not just disband much of the infrastructure of your organisation and issue "bodgie little changes" to your software, whenever required.

Outsourcing a one-line code change can be like outsourcing work involved in defusing a bomb. Pay someone to cut that orange wire.

It seems that my body determines my health (mental) and my awareness-
Everytime I stop exercise for injury reasons, my mind gets in a bad shape. Even if it's a long while (used to it).
Nothing gets me sharper and brighter than a good stretching session or a good workout......

Alright...I'm 14 years old, and ever since I started High School, questions like these have been plagueing my mind, I just don't know if I should beleive in him or not beleive in him, Science tends to be pointing that this universe has an ultimate fate...to be pretty much swallowed up by the sun. I really don't understand anymore...Ya see...I was born in a devout Seventh-day Adventist family, always viewing that my god was real...until I learned more about the science of the Earth, and ever since then, my mind has been a swirling vortex filled with questions, and not being able to answer them for myself makes me EXTREMELY frustrated, angry, and depressed.
If God is not real, then what truely is the human purpose? Are we simply just meant to procreate and evolve, it makes us seem as though we are but insignificant creatures in this thing we call "life". Death, what would that feel like? As I'm writing this, I'm becoming even more frustrated, I need help, what is truely wrong with me?

If I am born again into a new body without memories of being me from before, how am I me?
Surely that's someone completely different with no connection to me.

I mean like in that film "Heaven Can Wait". Warren Beaty gets to live again, in a different person's body, with none of his memories.
So in what way is it him?

Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword."

— Matthew 10:34


If you are going to follow Christ, it will create friction in some of your relationships. Jesus made a very radical statement on this subject: "Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. For I have come to 'set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law'; and 'a man's enemies will be those of his own household' " (Matthew 10:34–36).


As a Christian, you will face opposition. You will create friction. People will laugh at you. They will get upset with you. When they are telling a dirty joke and you walk in just as they are getting to the punch line, you spoil all their fun, because the joke will need to be continued later.

You bring friction, but it is a good friction. Unbelievers are becoming aware of their lack of relationship with God. And it is your commitment to Him that is causing that. Ultimately, that temporary friction can bring about the ultimate unity when the unbelievers in your life put their faith in Jesus Christ.

Jesus was saying, "Do you think that I have come to bring peace on earth? No, I'm telling you that I have come to bring strife and division." Sometimes this means saying goodbye to friends. It means saying goodbye to things that would hold you back. It means no longer straddling the fence and trying to get along with everyone. It means that you can't live in two worlds.
