With the cloud market becoming increasingly crowded, developers are under mounting pressure to create more innovative solutions and reduce their costs. It's little wonder then that APIs (Application Program Interfaces), which can drastically reduce development time, have become one of the most prized tools in any developer's arsenal. However, the benefits are tempered with an increased risk of cyber attacks.

"In the coming years, Africa must brace up and confront poverty in her midst very frontally as a lion would charge at a prey that has just strayed into its den, tearing it apart, and subsequently devouring it, because before Africa and Africans in the years coming, the choice is - either Africa very frontally confront poverty, knock it out of existence and rid herself of this unwanted plague that has been with her for ages and ravaged the whole continent subsequently; or poverty will do its fiercest battle with Africa and drive her into extinction."

I read with interest in our Somerset Partnership magazine bulletin about Philip’s new wheelchair designed to help any disabled person interact at eye level. It struck me as such a brilliant idea. I wondered if you have a link to his work and fund raising so I can see what help I can be. It is such a simple but fundamental concept that people should be on the same level when communicating. I am certain that the boost this product will provide to people’s well being makes it an invention well worth supporting into production and onto the market.

HOW JESUS CHRIST CAPTURED THE NIGERIAN-AFRICAN MINDSET IN THE PARABLE OF THE TALENTS
WHY AFRICA IS POOR
In the parable of the minas, Matt. 25:14-30, the difference is not in the number of the talents given to the three servants by their big boss, but in their attitude.
Before proceeding any further, let us here tarry a while and amuse ourselves as I always do when I want to preach on this parable to audiences, especially trying to give the three servants cultural and racial identity - the one that had five talents (for the purpose of today's investment capital reality, let us say £500, 000xx) and made a 100% profit was a Westerner, representing all Europe and America; the one that had two pounds (£200, 000) and made a profit of £200, 000xx) was an Asian, representing all Asia Minor and Asia Pacific, whilst the third servant, who was given just £1xx (£100, 000xx), who later proved to be the 'wisest', very pompous and the agrressive one and decidded to bury it was an African (particularly, a Nigerian), representing all persons of African ancestry.
