Committee members at the United Nations seem confused about the definition of “the right to life” as they currently work to reinterpret those words to justify abortion, even for babies with disabilities.
Article 6 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Right (ICCPR) states:
“Every human being has the inherent right to life. This right shall be protected by law. No one…

While Christmas is always celebrated every December 25, the date of Easter changes every year.
To Christians around the world, Christmas and Easter are two of the most important holidays. Unlike Christmas, though, which is celebrated in remembrance of the birth of Jesus, the date of Easter changes every year, falling on April 1 this year.
Easter is celebrated to remember the day Jesus resurrected after His crucifixion and death on the cross on Good Friday. Biblical records show that Jesus was crucified and died around the Passover and resurrected three days after which. Since the Passover is observed around the time after the first full moon of the vernal equinox, the first day of Spring, Easter is celebrated around the same time as well.
Easter is the culmination of the Christian holy season of Lent, otherwise known as Lenten Season or simply Lent. Without counting the Sundays included within the period, Lent lasts for 40 days, reflecting the 40 days Jesus spent in the wilderness after He was baptized. During this season, Christians go on reflection and penance to improve…

Russia authorities have arrested a number of scientists at one of the country’s top-secret nuclear warhead facilities after they allegedly tried to mine Bitcoin using its supercomputer. The facility’s security was alerted after the computer attempted to connect to the internet, something it was not intended to do so.
“There has been an unsanctioned attempt to use computer facilities for private purposes including so-called mining,” a spokesperson for the Federal Nuclear Center in Sarov, Western Russia told Interfax News Agency. “Their activities were stopped in time. As far as we are aware, a criminal case has been launched against them.”
The Federal Nuclear Center is overseen by Rosatom, the Russian nuclear agency. During the Cold War, USSR’s first nuclear bomb was produced at Sarov, during Joseph Stalin’s rule. The top-secret town is not marked on Soviet maps and special permits are still required for Russians to visit it.
In 2011, the center launched its new supercomputer with a capacity of 1 petaflop, allowing it to undertake one thousand trillion operations per second. However, the computer was not intended to be connected to the internet preventing it from mining the cryptocurrency. Following the attempted mining operation, the employees were handed over to the Russian Federal Security Service.
Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin do not rely on centralized computer servers but rather individuals who give computer processing power to the crypto-currency system….

Rumors say the highly anticipated NVIDIA Ampere GeForce graphics processing unit (GPU) is arriving soon.
According to various reports, the Ampere GPU will be released by April. The news was first revealed by German website 3D Center, which said NVIDIA hopes to replace the GP102 Pascal chip with the first generation Ampere GA104 GPU this year. To add to that, reports say the GP102 has reached the end-of-Life status, which means all production for the device has stopped.
Sources told the media outlet that the only rumored GPU will finally be revealed either at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco in mid-March or at the GPU Technology Conference later that month.
Ampere is the next generation GPU from NVIDIA, which is reportedly creating new graphic cards as well, to match the GPU. A GA104 is expected to start production this month. This should lead to other new cards for the GeForce GTX 2000 series. Initially, this will be consisting of GTX 2070 and GTX 2080.
Further rumors say not only one Ampere GPU will be released within the next year. After GA104 for the GTX 2080 and 2070 arrives in April, it will be followed by a GA106 for the GTX 2060 come summer. By early 2019, a GA102 is expected to arrive for a new Titan card or the GTX20180Ti.
While this is good news for gamers, it is still important to note that everything is still just rumors at the moment. For some, it is hard to believe that the Ampere GPUs are just around the corner, following a recent earnings call with NVIDIA CEO…

Rumors say the “Final Fantasy 7” remake will be delayed amid recent massive changes in Square Enix’s role-playing game.
Following the “Final Fantasy” 30th Anniversary celebration of the science fiction franchise, fans who attended the event revealed that Square Enix made huge design changes in several characters through brand new screens. They were also surprised by the appearance of director Tetsuya Nomura.
One of such characters is Cloud Strife, who reportedly now looks more like its original version first released in 1997. Older fans would remember that he was a bit of a dork.
According to one fan in the audience, Nomura and development leader Naoki Hamaguchi confirmed this by saying, “While Cloud may look this way, he was a dork. I believe those of you who played the original would understand what I mean by saying he’s a dorky character.”
Hamaguchi reportedly got the thumbs up from Nomura for the back to basics design of the Buster Sword-wielding hero, who is expected to show his fun side in the upcoming remake.
Fans also noted that some members of Avalanche, the rebel group that hires Cloud as a mercenary, also received a new look. Fans noted that Biggs looked “super handsome,” while Jessie was described as “cute” and Wedge as “refreshingly chubby.”
While all these sound exciting for the franchise’s loyal audience, all the design changes could also mean that production for the remake will be delayed. The first episode of “Final Fantasy 7” remake is expected to arrive in early 2019,…

Israel shot down an Iranian drone sent from Syria and then launched a counterattack where one Israeli fighter jet was lost.
According to Israeli Defense Forces, an Israeli helicopter shot down the Iranian drone after a raid on the Syrian base where the drone was located.
Israel then launched four F-16s that hit 12 Iranian and Syrian targets.
In response, the Syrians launched a “massive” anti-aircraft defense where one of the Israeli jets was shot down.
“This is the most blatant and severe Iranian violation of Israeli sovereignty in the last years,” IDF spokesman Jonathan Conricus told reporters Saturday. “That’s why our response is as severe as it is.”
Iran has denied sending a drone into Israel.
“The enemy’s claims that the drone has entered the airspace of occupied Palestine are sheet lies,” Iran forces said in a statement.
However, Israeli officials released a video showing the drone being shot down.
“The Iranian drone fell in our territory and is in our possession,” IDF spokesman Ronen Manelis said.
Iran, meanwhile, says it shot down the F-16.
“The era of Israeli strikes on Syria is over,” an Iranian official said, per the Times of Israel.

More than 540 churches in the United States and abroad hosted “Night to Shine” proms for those with special needs as part of an annual global event organized by the Tim Tebow Foundation.
The 2018 Night to Shine proms took place last Friday across the U.S. and in 16 countries, including Tebow’s birth place of the Philippines.
One location was St. Paul Lutheran Church of Boca Raton, Florida. Hosting their third “Night to Shine” prom, the event had about 160 guests.
The Rev. Steve Carretto, pastor at St. Paul Lutheran, told The Christian Post that the prom was a “great success” full of “laughing and smiling.”
“Our hope is that they see that they are treasured by God, that they had a night celebrating them because God celebrates them daily,” said Carretto.
“I hope they took away that there is a community called the Church that loves to love people and care for them and their families and in so doing receive…
