WINK WINK! Have You Seen This Wearable Camera That Can Take Photos When You Blink? [LOOK]
Selfie lovers may heave a sigh of relief with the invention of the Blincam, a hands-free photography device that attaches to specs and takes pictures when you blink.
A team in Japan has developed sensors that allow the camera to differentiate between usual blinking and a purposeful wink, making photography more fun especially for those who wear glasses.
The wink rate could skyrocket soonest especially when more people discover this camera which is set to be launched in September.
It operates its shutter when it detects firm, intentional blinks of the eye with patent-pending sensor technology that can differentiate between natural eye-blinking and a concerted effort. With its built-in Bluetooth technology, any images captured by the device is uploaded to a paired phone.
The company hopes to release the Blincam on Amazon and other online retailers early next year.

BUHARItionary! 9 Vocabs That Have Become Popular In Nigerian Politics Since Buhari Became President [SEE]
look like a theatre with different stunts from political actors. Amid this worrying situation, new terms, languages have been coined out, that many Nigerians now see as deceitful, usual and interestingly crept into the nation's political dictionary.
Here is a look at some of these new terms:
1. Padding: Padding is the new vocab in Nigeria political space with the recent scandal by some members of the House of Representatives infused some figures into the 2016 Budget. Padding is to insert something into a document with the intention of comforting yourself or distorting information.
According to Lawal Gumau, member of the Transparency Group, he said they (lawmakers) are used to padding, as it has been around for a long time. This is causing heated controversy at the legislative chambers, especially with the sack of Hon. Jibrin Abdulmimin as Chairman, House Committee on Appropriation.
2. Inconclusive Elections: This is also a new term in the dictionary of Nigerian politics, over the spate of inconclusive elections under the watch of the Professor Mahmood Yakubu-led Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Some now cynically refer to the Electoral body as the “inconclusive” National Electoral Commission. Since October 21, 2016 when President Muhammadu Buhari named the new helmsmen for INEC, the electoral body has conducted elections in Kogi, Bayelsa, Rivers, Bayelsa, Imo states, which were declared inconclusive at the end.
3. Stomach Infrastructure: Stomach infrastructure, a new vocabulary quietly crept into our political dictionary in this dispensation. The vocabulary crept into Nigeria’s political lexicon after the Ekiti governorship election when voters were given gifts of bags of rice and other foodstuffs to vote in certain directions. Distributing foodstuff during campaigns in Nigeria did not start with the Ekiti election. It has been happening in many parts of the country but it was heightened during the Ekiti election. Politicians have started handing over to Nigerians, the dividends of democracy in cash. The naira is becoming worthless and ordinary citizens are parading dollar notes, courtesy of politicians.
4. Ghost Workers: Ghost-working service has been around for a long while in Nigerian states. It's one of the major setbacks in Nigerian Civil Service. In 2015, investigations revealed that the Federal Government and 10 other states lost over N538bn to thousands of ghost workers in the last five years. Of the amount, the Federal Government paid N220bn to 103,000 ghost workers between September 2013 and May 2015. Recently, some states also uncovered numerous ghost workers that constitute more than half of its workforce.
5. Technical Recession: This term got on the lips of Nigerians when Finance Minister Kemi Adeosun appeared before the Senate in July to allay the fears of Nigeria about the tough and troubled economy. According to Adeosun, 'Nigeria's economy is technically in recession, but, there is no need to panic because it will be short.'
6. Northernization/Lopsided Appointments: Northernization is not a new word in Nigerian politics. It became so popular in President Buhari's administration with some of his appointments tilting towards the Northern region of the country. It has generated heated debates and raised eyebrows on why the ex-commander choose to do so. President Buhari had during an interview with BBC Hausa on September 8th, 2015 said the Constitution allowed him full control over the choice of his closest officials. The president assured that he was not ignoring some regions of the society in his appointments, explaining that those he appointed were some of his most trusted associates. Responding to the interviewer’s question on the controversy generated by the appointments, Buhari said “This is the nature of Nigerian politics.”
7. Lopsided Anti Corruption Fight: This is also one of the newest terms in Nigerian politics. It generated from President Buhari's anti corruption war that has rounded up mostly members of the opposition party. Many believe Buhari is partisan on the anti corruption fight, leaving members of his own cabinet out.
8. Change: This seems to the most popular of the new terms in Nigerian politics today. It is hinged on what ushered in the current administration of president Buhari. Buhari came in to power with the CHANGE Mantra from the 'Transformation Agenda' of former President Goodluck Jonathan. President Buhari's CHANGE Mantra is to rid off the system of gross corruption, terrorism, militancy, unemployment and to also improve the economy. But reverse seems to be the case, as Nigerians now experience Change (in the opposite context).
9. Technical Defeat of Boko Haram: Nigeria’s president, Muhammadu Buhari has insisted that the Islamic terror group, Boko Haram has been technically defeated, despite recent attacks by the insurgents. While speaking to BBC on Friday, February 5, Buhari maintained that the terrorists had indeed been technically defeated. According to him, “Well, all I know is that out of the 14 Local Government Areas in Borno State where they (Boko Haram) used to hold and hoist their flag, they are nowhere in charge of any of them again. But they can still regroup and go after attacking soft targets.” When asked if it was fair to say a group which killed over 65 people in a single attack had been “technically defeated,” the Buhari said: “Well, that’s your own description of it. My own description is that they can no longer mobilise enough forces to attack police and army barracks and destroy aircraft like they used to do. They can no longer do that.” - NigerianBulletin

PROPHETIC FOCUS FOR AUGUST, 2016
I AM SET FOR ENCOUNTERS WITH POWER -
Psalm 63:1-3
From Glory to Glory greetings in Jesus'
name.
I believe by our encounter with the great
physician, the health of every winner has
been fully restored in the course of the
month of July and to God be all the glory.
However, because whatever the Lord does
shall be forever, every one of us shall
continue to experience a sickness-free life
from henceforth in the name of Jesus
Christ, amen.
But what is the Holy Ghost saying for the
month of August 2016?
As I have often said, "no divine agenda can
be delivered in the energy of the flesh."
We also understand that every divine
purpose can only be accomplished by the
operation of Spirit of the Lord’ – Zech. 4:1-6
Therefore, the prophetic four-quantum leap
order of testimonies ordained for this year,
both for us as a church and as individuals
will definitely require the engagement of the
ministry of the Holy Ghost for full delivery.
In the light of the above, we shall be
examining the person, mission and
operations of the Holy Spirit towards the full
delivery of the prophetic agenda for the
year.
Furthermore, we must recognize that:
▪ Encounters with power primarily requires
a crave for empowerment – Jn. 7:37-39/ Ps.
63:1-3
▪ The mission of the Holy Ghost among
others, is to empower believers to
command exploits
- Is. 45:1-3/ Is. 61:3-7
▪ But it is not enough to be filled with the
Holy Spirit; we must continue to be refilled,
so we can remain battle
ready – Acts 2:1-4/ Acts 4:30-33
▪ We must continue to crave for the new
wine and seek after the fresh oil for ever
growing impact
- Lk. 5:38-39/ Ps. 92:10-15
▪ However, a life style of prayer and fasting
is a requirement for continuous change of
levels in the school of
power - Lk. 11:13/ Ps. 63:1-3/Is. 44:3-4/
Matt. 6:6/17-18/ Matt. 17:21
Therefore, the prophetic focus for the
month of AUGUST 2016 is:
I AM SET FOR ENCOUNTERS WITH POWER -
Psalm 63:1-3
I strongly believe that every area of
concerns around our lives as individuals
shall be turned into testimonies by the
power of the Holy Ghost this month. It shall
indeed be a turnaround month for every
Winner in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen
Recommended books of the month
include:
→ Anointing for Breakthrough
→ Anointing for Exploits
→ Understanding the Anointing
→ The Release of Power
Remain ever blessed.
Jesus is Lord!

IS THERE NO BALM IN GILEAD?
Matthew 9:12-13. Jesus himself as the great physician. He has been revealing his prescriptions to us this month. Today we are looking at a prescription for our health and well being - joy and rejoicing.
Joy and rejoicing.
Every instruction of God is key to every desire of man. There is no short cut to the provisions of God. There is always a pattern in the word. The joy of the Lord is your strength. Nehemiah 8:10.
What is in the joy of the Lord that heals?
1. Joy carries medicinal attributes.
Proverbs 17:22. 18:14. Joy naturally releases strength into the body. Sickness is always depicted by a sad countenance. You are healthy because you are happy. Joy injects life into our body.
2 Corinthians 5:4. Mortality or weaknesses is swallowed up as joy injects life into us when we keep rejoicing. Joy is one of the fruits of the spirit.
2. Joy carries the presence of God. Psalms 16:11. The presence of God is drawn by joy. Psalms 68:25. The movement of joy results in the movement of God. When you joy comes the Lord comes in his glory and the enemy departs.
God has said if you return to me l will return to you and the enemy will have to depart.
2. Isaiah 64:1. The arrival of God dissolves the mountains of depression. Jeremiah 32:27. What men call complexities are simplicities to God. When you look up to God you will see how small your challenges are. Your Liberty is sure.
If you refuse to give up the devil will give up.
The first thing the enemy attacks is your joy. Whatever is said to you that is a negative diagnosis is only an advert of the devil and not yours until you acknowledge and accept it. Don't confirm it with your emotions and countenance. Go rejoicing and be blessed. As you go on rejoicing you will go conquering. Joy is the trade mark of the conqueror. Your disposition must be one of joy.
3. Joy carries strength. Joy attracts divine presence for in his presence there is joy. Psalm 84:7.
4. Access to revelation. With joy you draw water out of the wells of salvation. Joy is the access to the waters of scriptures. Joy is your pathway to revelation. Come to the word with joy and you will receive revelation. Any man in revelation is a man in command. Your light will shine in darkness and darkness will not be able to overwhelm it.
How to receive Joy
1. Redemption. Psalm 51:11. Whenever a man encounters Christ there is encounter with real joy. This is not the same as happiness that comes from acquiring things which is limited. The only source of lasting joy is Christ.
2. Holy Ghost. Psalm 45:6-7. The anointing of gladness comes from the Holy Spirit
3. Revelation of the word. Jeremiah 15:16.
Your joy is a product of your light.
