The Coincidence TestIf nobody is able to collect the $999 reward: the only way out at that point will be to claim that a one-in-a-million chance actually happened. However, while it’s fairly easy to merely claim that it was all coincidence, it is much harder to demonstrate it. This is why I have created “the coincidence test”—so that people can easily see whether the one-in-a-million coincidence claim is realistic or not.First of all, to help put things in perspective, if the odds of something happening by coincidence are 1 chance in only 2: there is still a 50% chance that it will not happen by coincidence. And if it’s 1 chance in 10: there is a 90% chance that it will not happen by coincidence. If it’s 1 chance in 100: there’s a 99% chance that it won’t happen by coincidence. 1 chance in 1,000 is 99.9% that it won’t happen by coincidence. And finally 1 chance in 1,000 times 1,000 (one in a million)—is 99.9999% chance that it would NOT happen by coincidence!!!!!!!!!Saying that the MJ “death” timing and numerology all happened by coincidence would be like playing Russian roulette with 999,999 bullets, and one blank {http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_roulette}. Although there is one big difference: Russian roulette only puts one person’s life in danger; but with NWO and end of the world, millions of lives are in danger!For those who want to play “the coincidence test”: it’s quite similar to a lottery, except fortunately it won’t cost money like gambling and the lottery (and also nobody will win money). I saw a bumper sticker once that said, “Lottery: a tax on people who failed math class.”Anyway, if you want to try the coincidence test: start a thread (in the TIAI subforum) titled: “The Coincidence Test”. Then take a guess at what the last two digits (right of the decimal) will be in the Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P 500, once the stock market closes for the day {see You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login}. You must state your guess at least 24 hours in advance; and also identify which date your guess applies to (use the date based upon a time zone in the USA); the digits remain in view for more than 12 hours after the market closes, so there is plenty of time to see if your guess was right (they are also recorded permanently).Make sure you identify which two digits go with Dow, and which ones go with Nasdaq, and which ones with S&P 500. For example: Dow = .77; Nasdaq = .79; S&P 500 = .99; this will make a six-digit number (777,999), which has a one chance in a million of being correct (000,000 to 999,999). These stock market decimal numbers are quite random, and nobody will be able to know them 24 hours in advance (or control them); so if someone gets all six digits correct, then that will be a one-in-a-million coincidence!Now we must not forget the aspect of opportunities, when we are calculating odds of a coincidence. For this to actually happen as a one-in-a-million coincidence: it has to be the very first person who gets the six numbers correct. Because the second person will be two-in-a-million, and the third will be three-in-a-million, etc.If one hundred guesses are made, that would be a one-in-ten-thousand chance; because although though the odds are one in a million, the opportunities are one hundred (so 1,000,000 divided by 100 = 10,000). Nevertheless, if hundreds or even thousands of “coincidence test” guesses are made—it is still very unlikely that anyone will get it right!
About the orphanageHanna's Orphans' Home is an orphanage based in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and cares for just under 200 children. The majority of the children have lost both parents to HIV and Aids, but some have living parents who are just too sick to care for them.Run by an Ethiopian woman called Hanna Teshome, the orphanage is spread over three main sites - in Wollo Seffer, in Shiro Meda and one just outside of Addis Ababa. There are also children's homes in Jimma and Harar.Hanna TeshomeHanna Teshome is the Ethiopian woman who founded Hanna Orphans Home in 1994 after being asked to look after Samson, a baby orphaned by HIV. Since then, the orphanage has grown to care for 215 children and employ over 20 members of staff, but Hanna is still the driving force behind everything that happens.Most of her day is spent at the Wollo Seffer site, or out meeting people who may be able to provide funding for the orphanage. She tries to visit the Shiro Meda site once a week, and to visit the children's homes in Jimma and Harar every other month – although this isn't always possible.Hanna is very involved in the children's lives; they all call her 'a-tetay' which roughly means 'big sister'. She has devoted her life to running the orphanage - something that her husband and three children can attest to! She believes passionately that children need stability, love and opportunity as well as the day-to-day things such as food, shelter and clothes. She works hard to make sure that Hanna Orphans Home can provide that for as many children as possible.Wollo SefferIn Wollo Seffer the children live in small groups of about five or six. They learn to cook for themselves, keep a house and study; all the children go to a local school or are taught at the orphanage. There is also a small library, a study room, a play area and a kitchen.Shiro MedaIn Shiro Meda a group of younger children live in a house donated by an Ethiopian woman who now lives in America. The children have three women who live with them - one who cooks, one who cleans and one who is a 'mother' to them. She provides the hugs! Two men also help out although they don't live on site. One works as a handyman, doing miraculous things with corrugated iron, and the other comes in to offer religious education to the children as well as helping them with their studies.It's very important to Hanna - and us - that the orphanage is part of the surrounding community. This means the children grow up as active members of society and not just children who are 'different' and tucked away in an institution.It also means that the children in the surrounding neighbourhoods can benefit from the orphanage's facilities and resources. These children, although still living with their parents, often can't afford to go to school and even if they can, they have no place to study at home.Girls, especially, will often end up helping their mother cook and clean instead of studying, so in Wollo Seffer the library and study area are open to the neighbourhood children. Hanna also makes sure any spare clothes are passed out to those who need them.Many of the children in the orphanage are victims of sexual abuse, something that is rarely talked about or confronted in Ethiopia (or in other places in the world!), and Hanna works hard to make sure all the children know their rights and know who to go to for help. She recently went into the school and did a 'sex education' class, focussing on how the young people can protect themselves and learn how to say no.
Through your blessings, we have all been blessed. Thank you for sharing about Hanna. What a beautiful person she is! Have a wonderful day and know you have made a difference! Blessings Always
Wow you truly are an inspiration TheRunningGirl!
Don’t you wanna scream when you read news like this? OK massive aid operations prevented a severe catastrophe, but by far we’re not there yet! News like this is essential for all of us, because we must know that after donating, a food crisis as in Haïti, Somalia, Pakistan and Sahel isn’t solved in a sec. While collecting donations for a well-known child aid organization from door-to-door, I frequently hear remarks like “hm, again? I already donated a year ago”. Although, I appreciate each and every donation, I want to emphasize the necessity of giving continuously, if possible. ‘Think about the generations and to say we want to make it a better world for our children and our children's children. So that they know it's a better world for them; and think if they can make it a better place.’- Heal The World – Michael JacksonL.O.V.E.
Hello RunningGirl!You have truly inspired me to figure a way to help. I have no income at all right now. I gave up my teaching position last year- art history to kids. So- thinking outside the box- I have decided to put together a plan to collect donations of art supplies for children. I will look into which of Michael's charities might benefit from these....and let you know about it.
$111 has gone to Hanna's Orphanage in Ethiopia - Hanna's Orphanage is a great example of how people can make a difference in this World if they really want to. It is sooooo... important to embed any charitable efforts into the communities and give unfortunate children a loving environment to grow and develop in!
