Photograph Captures The Violent Death Of A Star

The Helix Nebula is a dying star that sits 650 light years away. When a star dies it sheds its outer layers, leaving behind a hot core that eventually contracts to form a white dwarf star

Two NASA telescopes captured this spectacular event in early October.

Five billion years from now, when our sun runs out of hydrogen, it will produce something similar to the image below:

From $0 To $1 Billion In Two Quarters ? Facebook's Mobile Ad Business Is Suddenly Huge (FB)

mark zuckerberg

Suddenly, Facebook is killing it in mobile.

After generating $0 dollars in mobile ad revenues during the first quarter and an immaterial amount during the second quarter, Facebook today announced that 14 percent of its advertising revenue came from mobile ads in Q3 2012.

That's $152.6 million – $610.4 million annualized.

But here's the thing: Facebook's mobile advertising business is actually much bigger than that.

During a conference call with analysts to discuss the earnings, Facebook CFO David Ebersman said that ads in the Facebook News Feed now generate $4 million per day.

He said three-quarters of those revenues come from mobile News Feed ads.

75% of $4 million is $3 million. $3 million per day over 365 days is…$1.1 billion.

Here's the full Ebersman quote, so you can read it for yourself:

In terms of the feed revenue at the end of the second quarter we disclosed that at that point we were running about about $1 million a day and we use that metric because we just started ramping up towards the end of the quarter so we felt like giving you the numbers for the whole quarter was not representative of where we were. Those numbers continue to ramp through the quarter. We ended the third quarter with more than $4 million a day coming from feed and about three quarters of that coming from mobile feed. And going forward I think we'll stick to the metric of mobile as a percentage of revenue.

Nine months after having a mobile ad business that generates $0 per year, Facebook now has a mobile ad business generating $1 billion per year. 

AND: Facebook hasn't even started putting ads in Instagram yet, which now has 100 million registered users, up from 27 million when it bought it in April.

It's funny: Mobile was supposed to be Facebook's weakness. It's not.

Stewardship and Spiritual Vitality

Every Sunday, thousands of pastors are asking themselves the question, ?Where is the spiritual vitality in my congregation??

After nearly a decade in stewardship ministry, Dave Briggs, Director of Stewardship at Central Christian Church, had an insight that may well answer that question. It came through the parable of the seeds found in Matthew.

The Third Seed

The third seed in the parable very clearly illustrates that the busyness of life, the desire for more things and the deceitfulness of wealth make the Word unfruitful. This struck Briggs as a major reason why we are not seeing more spiritual vitality in many congregations.

?Most people don?t make the connection between a wrong relationship to money and its ability to diminish the power of God?s Word in our midst.? But as we make the connection between the two, we realize the importance of teaching people that their relationship with ?stuff? directly impacts their relationship with God.

?Many church leaders who are blasé about the need for healthy stewardship ministry may be suffering the ill effects of it without realizing it.?

Stewardship is about far more than raising funds to accomplish the church?s mission or helping people who are completely broke. It?s about the universal need to have a proper relationship with money. Briggs said, ?What you choose to do with money will either draw you close to God or take you further away.?

There are plenty of examples in the Bible. For instance, the Good Samaritan was willing to help a wounded stranger, using his money as an instrument of God?s goodness. The widow who gave her two mites powerfully demonstrated the importance of prioritizing God over money. ?Money became a way to draw each of these people closer to God,? Briggs said.

On the other hand, you have the rich young ruler and the rich farmer who chose wealth above God?a choice that cost them their closeness with Him.

It?s not about the amount of money someone has?after all, the Good Samaritan had plenty, the widow just a few bronze coins. It?s about prioritizing service to the Lord above service to cash. ?I am convinced that there is much difference between the heart need to someone with few resources and someone with a lot of resources.? In other words, someone can have plenty of money but still struggle with spiritual issues that aren?t visible to the outside world.

?If done from a biblical perspective, stewardship takes on the same importance as prayer, Bible study and discipleship,? he said. ?It is all about growing the individual through a relationship to money that grows them closer to God rather than takes them away.?

Stewardship is about so much more than money. As church leaders see that and cast a new vision to their congregation, the entire culture of the church changes.

Eating 7-8 Fruits And Vegetables Per Day Will Make You Happier [STUDY]

fruit

Eating fruits and vegetables is strongly associated with peak mental well-being, according to a new study from the National Bureau of Economic Research.

David G. Blanchflower, Andrew J. Oswald and Sarah Stewart-Brown have written one of the first studies on the potential influence of the different kinds of food people eat on feelings of happiness.

Using data covering 80,000 randomly selected British individuals along with seven accepted measures of well-being, they found that happiness and mental health rise in proportion to the number of daily servings of fruit and vegetables, peaking at 7-8 servings. 

The pattern remains "remarkably robust" when adjusted for a large number of other demographic, social and economic variables, the study found. 

Even after isolating confounding variables, it was found that individuals consuming at least 7 servings a day were 2.7 percent happier than those who eat almost no fruit and vegetables.

The authors note that the rise in life satisfaction is larger than "being a non-smoker [1.9 percent], is only a little less than that from being married [3.6 percent], and in absolute size is more than half the coefficient of having a longstanding illness [negative 4.3 percent]. Being unemployed, which is known from well-being research to have routinely one of the largest effects in happiness equations, is associated with approximately [negative 9 percent]."

The scientists conclude that thinking about the types of foods we consume may be valuable for governments concerned with the ultimate happiness of their citizens.
