This Infographic Explains Why Women Should Leave the Christian Church
This Infographic Explains Why Women Should Leave the Christian Church:
The Barna Group (The “Gallup” of the Christian world) just released a survey they did with Christian women to see how they feel about church and their role in it. I’ve highlighted a few of the more disappointing findings… (click to enlarge):
Barna Group president David Kinnaman is someone who does a lot of good work in informing Christians what they look like to non-Christians. But I was disappointed in the way he framed the findings, presumably so Christian church leaders (i.e. Men) would listen:
*MAN HIGH FIVE*

Kinnaman also cautions that the research “should not be equated to customer service research, where church leaders try to keep their most committed constituents — women — happy. Instead, the study should be an invitation to better understand how both women and men work together to form a more Christ-like community.”More bluntly: “I’m not saying you should try to make sure women are treated equally in your church… That would be ridiculous! Just do a better job of making sure women know their place and are content about it.”

3D printed meat: It's what's for dinner
3D printed meat: It's what's for dinner: 3D printing has been used to create running shoes, medical implants, and, to the delight of firearm enthusiasts, a .22 caliber handgun. So why not a 3D-printed steak for the grill?
Billionaire investor Peter Thiel's philanthropic foundation plans to announce today a six-figure grant for bioprinted meat, part of an ambitious plan to bring to the world's dinner tables a set of technologies originally developed for creating medical-grade tissues.
The recipient of the Thiel Foundation's grant, a Columbia, Mo.-based startup named Modern Meadow, is pitching bioprinted meat as a more environmentally-friendly way to satisfy a natural human craving for animal protein. Co-founder Andras Forgacs has sharply criticized the overall cost of traditional livestock practices, saying "if you look at the resource intensity of everything that goes into a hamburger, it is an environmental train wreck."
"Modern Meadow is combining regenerative medicine with 3D printing to imagine an economic and compassionate solution to a global problem," said Lindy Fishburne, executive director of Breakout Labs, a project of the Thiel Foundation. "We hope our support will help propel them through the early stage of their development, so they can turn their inspired vision into reality." (See CNET's Q&A with Thiel from last year.)
Breakout Labs is also giving grants to Bell Biosystems and Entopsis, both medical startups. A Breakout Labs representative declined to give exact figures, saying that each grant was for a sum between $250,000 and $350,000.

About: One of our fans recently sent us a photo of a girl and seek our help to find out who she is. This is not something we usually do but with our experience, it didn't take too long for us to search it out. The best lead was in the photo itself. She looks like a Korean, and with a tattoo of her name, "jimin" on her left chest.
