Exciting music-video styled feature added to Snapchat

Snapchat is a lot more fun making your own mini music videos! Snap Inc. has stated that 'Snapchatters' say they feel comfortable, happy and connected when using their messaging app, Snapchat. For over a decade it has enhanced relationships with friends, family and the world. To date the company has reported over 750 Million! active users on the service and counting.

WhatsApp will stop working on the following devices

It may be time to Upgrade WhatsApp is the most used messenger app in the world today and is practically on nearly everyone's smartphone. It has been around for some years well now and really took the world of instant messaging by storm overshadowing many of the other apps that had to settle for a second place.  Every year, the company keeps updating it's app to stay aligned with security, hardware and software updates that keep changing all the time. It comes as no surprise that inevitably some devices will reach the point where they are unable to keep up with one or more of these three things most notably the hardware aspect given the fact that hardware components in a phone or device cannot really be modified and hence deemed unable to be upgraded.  Naturally the software which includes security patches and updates will not be supported on these older hardware as software is constantly evolving to facilitate new hardware. With recent new features added to the app like, 'C

A Holy Scripture in which God Himself speaks!

1972 Edition of Bhagavad Gita As It Is The Timeless, Supreme, Divine Instructions There are many religions in the world and all of them offer some path to Godhead, that supreme divinity. However, the ancient Hindu scripture namely the Bhagavad Gita, is largely written in the first person singular in the Sanskrit language. That person being not a saint or disciple as might be the case with the Holy Bible or a prophet as might be with the Holy Quran, relating the words of the Lord in a transcendental way but the Supreme being Himself. Religious people may consider the authority of saints and prophets in the scriptures to be the word of God and it is also confirmed through revelation in most of the major religions of the world, that God imparts His transcendental wisdom to His bona fide messengers.  If it is that God Himself speaks to one of his disciples and the narration is recorded by His pure servant in the first person then logically that literature can be considered to be the highes

To date, it is largely considered by many game developers

GTA Online Beginners Guide and Tips & Tricks for Newbies

Welcome to San Andreas where criminals are made their best! Upon launch, you had to own a full copy of GTA V in order to play online as the online option was part of the main game. Within recent years this has changed and you can now purchase it as a separate standalone component from STEAM, EPIC and the likes for a greatly reduced price.  That being said, the online aspect of the game is where Rockstar really adds the newest, latest and greatest content so by not playing online you are virtually limited only to the base game with the three protagonist in story mode and the assets that were released with the game plus a few minor additions to the in-game store and additional game tweaks and patches. All the latest vehicles, map additions, add-on and game modes etc. are part of only GTA Online, making it virtually a totally different game all together that utilizes the same map of the story mode game and adds a ton of features and assets to it. So let's get started felons! The game

Insight into the Soul

What makes us who we are? One of the major questions of our human existence is, " What is the soul? " or the Spirit soul. Does everyone believe in the existence of the holy spirit or soul? Some might and some might not. Regardless if someone believes in the soul's existence or not there is always a place we can look to find an answer. We just need to know where to look. Not many of us are familiar with this topic simply because it is not commonly taught in schools or other places of secular learning. From a philosophical standpoint many people will agree that the soul has something to do with religion and spirituality. In fact according to Encyclopedia Britannica : "soul, in religion and philosophy, the immaterial aspect or essence of a human being, that which confers individuality and humanity, often considered to be synonymous with the mind or the self. In theology, the soul is further defined as that part of the individual which partakes of divinity and often is
