David Rives Ministries

Published on Sep 22, 2014

Hummingbirds. Even though they are the smallest birds on earth, and the smallest of all warm-blooded creatures, they can still fly over 30 MPH, fly backward, and at birth, weigh less than a post-it note!

These amazing creatures flap their wings up to 80 times a SECOND, allowing them to hover over flowers filled with nectar.

They are able to determine sugar content, and only consume nectar that is at least 10% sugar. Less than that could not sustain their super-fast metabolism, with their heartbeat of around 1200 times a minute!

With this in mind, hummingbirds typically would not be able to survive a long cold night. HOWEVER, they “happen” to have a built-in mechanism called “Torpor” that goes into effect as they sleep, shutting down their metabolism to 1/15th the normal rate. It effectively slows down their heart rate from around 1,200 beats per minute… to 35 beats per minute.

Did this tiny creature evolve by chance? Or was he intricately designed and formed with purpose? Such beauty is often overlooked in today’s society, but if we only stop to consider the intricate details of a hummingbird, we can appreciate God’s infinite “wonders without number”.

(video) "Teddy Bear" the real, ‘talking’ Porcupine | Backstory

On October 25, 2014

From: zooniversity.org/our-animals/teddy-bear-the-porcupine

Birthdate: May 4, 2003

Birthplace: Found as an abandoned newborn by a rancher in a barn in West Texas, cord and placenta still attached.

His early life: Teddy arrived at Zooniversity with lots of medical problems (dehydration, peritonitis, anorexia, “failure to thrive,” you name it…) and required intensive human interaction, resulting in him being fully imprinted on humans. …

How’d Teddy get his start in the viral video world? It was all accidental. In May 2011, one of his keepers wanted to try-out a new video camera, so she recorded him eating an ear of corn and making noises and posted it on YouTube, “Teddy Bear the porcupine doesn’t like to share…” It sat unwatched for 6 months, until someone else found it and posted it on a viral site — it skyrocketed to more than 1 million views in a matter of days, with clips showing on all the major networks. It was a BIG surprise and the rest is viral history.

Why are Teddy’s videos so popular? People think his porcupine noises are his attempt at “talking” and they hear human words in his sounds, so viewers think he is speaking English, or Japanese, or Dutch – and teenagers around the world just thought he was saying naughty things.

Is he REALLY “talking”? That’s for you decide. All porcupines make some guteral noises when they’re happy or when they want to communicate something – Teddy is just more vocal than most. And, we agree, a lot of Teddy’s mumblings sound remarkably like human words. …

Why doesn’t he shoot his quills at you? It’s an old wives tale that porcupines shoot their quills — they can’t. Teddy does have 35,000 barbed quills underneath all that soft, fluffy guard hair. The quills cover every part of his body, except his face, paws and belly. We don’t often get “quilled,” as we are not a threat to him and he doesn’t feel the need to ward us off. If he did feel threatened, Teddy would first flair his tail hair and show you his quills as a warning. If you didn’t heed his warning, he’d then spin like a top and whack you with his tail full of quills. Does it hurt? Yes…a lot.

Biography

Petr Spatina was born in the Czech Republic as a farmer’s son. In his beginnings he played Accordion and Piano until he finally found „his“ instrument, the Glass Harp which he plays now for over 20 years.

Over the years he developed his own technique of playing this instrument and his playing has by far not been reached by anyone in the World. The Glass Harp consists of 33 wine glasses, filled and tuned with water.
The spherical sound of his music is bewitching, seems to be from outer space, unbelievably made.

When Petr Spatina is playing you can feel an incomprehensible and mysterious, almost unreal atmosphere and his music leaves the astonished audience speechless.

[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qX9FSZJu448]Never, Ever Give Up. Arthur’s Inspirational Transformation!

Diamond Dallas Page

Published on Apr 30, 2012

If this story can inspire someone you know, please share it with them!

Arthur’s story is highlighted from the beginning, in the upcoming documentary, INSPIRED: The Movie. http://www.inspiredthemovie.com
(Thanks to filmmaker Steve Yu for putting this inspirational video together!)

Arthur Boorman was a disabled veteran of the Gulf War for 15 years, and was told by his doctors that he would never be able to walk on his own, ever again.

He stumbled upon an article about Diamond Dallas Page doing Yoga and decided to give it a try — he couldn’t do traditional, higher impact exercise, so he tried DDP YOGA and sent an email to Dallas telling him his story.

Dallas was so moved by his story, he began emailing and speaking on the phone with Arthur throughout his journey – he encouraged Arthur to keep going and to believe that anything was possible. Even though doctors told him walking would never happen, Arthur was persistent. He fell many times, but kept going.

Arthur was getting stronger rapidly, and he was losing weight at an incredible rate! Because of DDP’s specialized workout, he gained tremendous balance and flexibility — which gave him hope that maybe someday, he’d be able to walk again.

His story is proof, that we cannot place limits on what we are capable of doing, because we often do not know our own potential. Niether Arthur, nor Dallas knew what he would go on to accomplish, but this video speaks for itself. In less than a year, Arthur completely transformed his life. If only he had known what he was capable of, 15 years earlier.

Do not waste any time thinking you are stuck – you can take control over your life, and change it faster than you might think.

Hopefully this story can inspire you to follow your dreams – whatever they may be.
Anything is Possible!

Song Lyrics

You wanna learn something about yourself?
You’re more powerful than you could ever imagine
Listen up

Did you ever have a new idea?
Did you ever seek a new frontier?
Did you ever try to question something
Invent something, create something?
Did you notice how they keep you down
Friends shove your mind into the ground
“You can’t do it!” they scream ‘cuz your ideas are
So unique they make them look weak

Just think for yourself. Think for yourself
Think for yourself, be divergent, be divergent
Think for yourself. Don’t be like everyone else
Think for yourself, be divergent, be divergent

Hey, you have to conform
Fit in, be average, worship the norm
Go with the flow like everyone else
And you can be popular just don’t be yourself
If you had dreams, sink ’em in the deep end
Dream if you want, but only when you’re sleepin’
In the real world, you wanna get by,
Live your life as a lie and forget that you can fly

Yeah, you wanna be accepted, right?
So you crush your own mind without even a fight
You put your dreams on the shelf
And you wake up each day pretending to be someone else
I’m not sayin’ don’t be polite
But don’t let the masses burn out your heart light
You’ve got one life to live as YOU
Don’t let anyone tell you what you can’t do

All this time, they told you be yourself
But then they scold you when you’re not like everyone else
It’s all illusion their expectations are so unkind
Don’t let them silence your beautiful mind

It’s time to throw off those mental chains
Be strange be the change you want to see in the world
That’s what Gandhi said with a gun to his head
But he didn’t back down and he didn’t give in
He was true to his dreams, strength from within
Said no to authority persecution
And ignited a global peace revolution

One day at a time
Don’t listen to those who try to get you down
Don’t surrender to hopelessness and helplessness
You are a divine being!

We all have the power of global transformation
But systems of control don’t want you to stumble upon that realization
They know that if you discover who you truly are
You might just go too far

And be divergent

‘Forest bathing’: spending time in the woods for its therapeutic (or bathing) effect — Breathe in phytoncides, active substances released by plants to protect them against insects and from rotting, which appear to lower blood pressure and stress and boost your immune system

From: mnn.com…

Forest bathing

The Japanese term Shinrin-yoku may literally mean “forest bathing,” but it doesn’t involve soaking in a tub among the trees. Rather it refers to spending time in the woods for its therapeutic (or bathing) effect. Most of us have felt tension slip away in the midst of trees and nature’s beauty. But science now confirms its healing influence on the body. When you spend a few hours on a woodland hike or camping by a lake you breathe in phytoncides, active substances released by plants to protect them against insects and from rotting, which appear to lower blood pressure and stress and boost your immune system.

Published on Nov 26, 2012

Faster than Legolas!
A historical technique much faster than the known.

The Danish archers Lars Andersen has rediscovered. an old and very fast way to shoot bows.

To compare speed
I have added 4 other good fast archers together !
to show the time it takes to shoot 10 arrows.

It is completely unscientific and not objectively
The 4 other archers can probably shoot faster than these video.

1: Lajos Kassai famous and fabulous Hungarian.
Fastest horseback shooting in the world !
He was the one who first inspired me to fast shooting.
Shoot and teach the horses and archery system
he has developed.
A system based on pre angerede arrows.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yorHs…

2: Iza Privezenceva tough Russian girl.
Fastest quiver shooting in the world!
She shoots a new and very interesting inverse system developed by Seregedel.
http://www.youtube.com/user/Seregedel…

3: DasDaan Dutch archer
He shoots a “”classic”” quiver system
http://www.youtube.com/user/DasDaan

4: Bo ” CombatArchery” cole American archer.
Shoot and teach the system he has developed
A fairly simple straightforward system, without the
use of pre angerede arrows.
The best start system for people who want to shooting fast
http://www.youtube.com/user/CombatArc…

Shooting on the chain mail:
It is with the video because it shows how much energy “low pressure” modern carbon fiber bows actually provides.
Ring armor is good quality riveted and with rings on the 7mm

I had first agreed with a blacksmith that he should make special arrows chain mail tips, but made first a test with normal arrows, and quite surprisingly smashed all the ordinary arrows straight through the ring armor.
it surprised me a lot because I had thought that I had to use one of my heavier bows.

It should be remembered that if you look at past archers: the 60,000 year and throughout the world. so most archers never shot at enemies with iron armor.

Today we often have an incorrect idea that war archery is always against enemies in iron armor.

In 60,000 years, man has shot with bow,
Today we know very little about the past archery.
so much is lost.
There are no truths, or proper ways to shoot with bow,
I have rediscovered something about archery, but there is still so much to rediscover.

Sincerely,
Lars Andersen

Bahamas – Distant Shores Sample Episode (Season 5)

from Paul Shard

Sailing adventure in the Southern Exumas! Paul & Sheryl first stop in the remote Brigantine Cays where they dive in a cave which is home to huge tarpon. Seeking shelter from an approaching “norther” they discover an unusual characteristic of starfish. In Cave Cay they meet a retired oil baron whose retirement project is to develop an environmentally friendly haven for boaters. In Little Farmers Cay they explore a cave and learn the importance of the mail boats to survival in the out islands. Their final stop is Black Point where they meet the artisans of the straw market whose weaving is crucial to the economy of the settlement.

Klaus F. Hempfling

Uploaded on Jan 7, 2011

http://www.hempfling.com On a clear example it is shown in detail how Klaus uses the body language and what kind of success is possible.http://www.hempfling.com This video features the horse therapist Klaus Ferdinand Hempfling’s work. With his professional background in communications he has shaken up the international horse world. He is working with these powerful, dignified creatures in accordance with nature. The development of the rider’s “presence” and an orientation to holistic principles is integral to this work. Klaus has the ability to “know” a horse within a few seconds and within a few minutes of the first meeting, he establishes a relationship so firmly that anything after that is completely based on trust — creating lifelong friendship with the horses. Klaus Ferdinand Hempfling (latest book The Horse Seeks Me) is touching equestrians worldwide, with response in fields like natural horsemanship, horse whispering, classical and freestyle dressage, equestrian sports, western riding, endurance, eventing and horseback riding in general. He is at the forefront on working and interacting with horses and is known for authentic and effective groundwork according to the horses’ nature, often proved and documented with stallions (breeding stallions). He considers the horse’s psyche (horse psychology) and communicates via body language with these beautiful creatures. His first book, ‘Dancing with Horses’ met with overwhelming success.
