The Acts of the Apostles, chapter 14, Vulgate and King James Version
1 Factum est autem Iconii, ut eodem modo introirent syna gogam Iudaeorum et ita loquerentur, ut crederet Iudaeorum et Graecorum copiosa multitudo.
2 Qui vero increduli fuerunt Iudaei, suscitaverunt et exacerbaverunt animas gentium adversus fratres.
3 Multo igitur tempore demorati sunt, fiducialiter agentes in Domino, testimonium perhibente verbo gratiae suae, dante signa et prodigia fieri per manus eorum.
4 Divisa est autem multitudo civitatis: et quidam quidem erant cum Iudaeis, quidam vero cum apostolis.
5 Cum autem factus esset impetus gentilium et Iudaeorum cum principibus suis, ut contumeliis afficerent et lapidarent eos,
6 intellegentes confugerunt ad civitates Lycaoniae, Lystram et Derben et ad regionem in circuitu
7 et ibi evangelizantes erant.
8 Et quidam vir in Lystris infirmus pedibus sedebat, claudus ex utero matris suae, qui numquam ambulaverat.
9 Hic audivit Paulum loquentem; qui intuitus eum et videns quia haberet fidem, ut salvus fieret,
10 dixit magna voce: "Surge super pedes tuos rectus!". Et exsilivit et ambulabat.
11 Turbae autem cum vidissent, quod fecerat Paulus, levaverunt vocem suam Lycaonice dicentes: "Dii similes facti hominibus descenderunt ad nos!";
12 et vocabant Barnabam Iovem, Paulum vero Mercurium, quoniam ipse erat dux verbi.
13 Sacerdos quoque templi Iovis, quod erat ante civitatem, tauros et coronas ad ianuas afferens cum populis, volebat sacrificare.
14 Quod ubi audierunt apostoli Barnabas et Paulus, conscissis tunicis suis, exsilierunt in turbam clamantes
15 et dicentes: "Viri, quid haec facitis? Et nos mortales sumus similes vobis homines, evangelizantes vobis ab his vanis converti ad Deum vivum, qui fecit caelum et terram et mare et omnia, quae in eis sunt.
16 Qui in praeteritis generationibus permisit omnes gentes ambulare in viis suis;
17 et quidem non sine testimonio semetipsum reliquit benefaciens, de caelo dans vobis pluvias et tempora fructifera, implens cibo et laetitia corda vestra".
18 Et haec dicentes vix sedaverunt turbas, ne sibi immolarent.
19 Supervenerunt autem ab Antiochia et Iconio Iudaei et persuasis turbis lapidantesque Paulum trahebant extra civitatem aestimantes eum mortuum esse.
20 Circumdantibus autem eum discipulis, surgens intravit civitatem. Et postera die profectus est cum Barnaba in Derben.
21 Cumque evangelizassent civitati illi et docuissent multos, reversi sunt Lystram et Iconium et Antiochiam
22 confirmantes animas discipulorum, exhortantes, ut permanerent in fide, et quoniam per multas tribulationes oportet nos intrare in regnum Dei.
23 Et cum ordinassent illis per singulas ecclesias presbyteros et orassent cum ieiunationibus, commendaverunt eos Domino, in quem crediderant.
24 Transeuntesque Pisidiam venerunt Pamphyliam;
25 et loquentes in Perge verbum descenderunt in Attaliam.
26 Et inde navigaverunt Antiochiam, unde erant traditi gratiae Dei in opus, quod compleverunt.
27 Cum autem venissent et congregassent ecclesiam, rettulerunt quanta fecisset Deus cum illis et quia aperuisset gentibus ostium fidei.
28 Morati sunt autem tempus non modicum cum discipulis.
King James Version
1 And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great multitude both of the Jews and also of the Greeks believed.
2 But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds evil affected against the brethren.
3 Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
4 But the multitude of the city was divided: and part held with the Jews, and part with the apostles.
5 And when there was an assault made both of the Gentiles, and also of the Jews with their rulers, to use them despitefully, and to stone them,
6 They were ware of it, and fled unto Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round about:
7 And there they preached the gospel.
8 ¶ And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked:
9 The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed,
10 Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked.
11 And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men.
12 And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker.
13 Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people.
14 Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out,
15 And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein:
16 Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways.
17 Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.
18 And with these sayings scarce restrained they the people, that they had not done sacrifice unto them.
19 ¶ And there came thither certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium, who persuaded the people, and, having stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing he had been dead.
20 Howbeit, as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up, and came into the city: and the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.
21 And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and Antioch,
22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.
23 And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed.
24 And after they had passed throughout Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.
25 And when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down into Attalia:
26 And thence sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been recommended to the grace of God for the work which they fulfilled.
27 And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles.
28 And there they abode long time with the disciples.

* Fed meeting in view, investors seek stimulus clarity * Avago to buy LSI for $6.6 bln; AIG to sell unit for $5.4 bln * S&P 500 near all-time high, but below 14-day moving average * Indexes up: Dow 0.9 pct, S&P 0.7 pct, Nasdaq 0.8 pct By Angela Moon NEW YORK, Dec 16 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks rose on Monday, rebounding from their worst week in months as large deals boosted optimism but investors remained cautious ahead of an upcoming Federal Reserve policy meeting.
Equities are coming off their biggest weekly decline in nearly four months, a pullback that came on concerns the Fed may begin to wind-down the bond-buying stimulus at its two-day policy-setting meeting that ends Wednesday.
The stimulus has been a major contributor to the market's gains this year, and has been expected to keep a floor under stock prices for as long as it continues.
Investors have been trying to gauge the timing of when the central bank will start winding down its market-friendly bond purchases, with many market participants expecting the Fed to announce a tapering in March.
However, stronger economic data of late, including the November payroll report, led some to believe the tapering could come as soon as at the Fed's meeting this week. The Fed has said it will slow the program when certain economic indicators meet its growth targets.
"I still believe January or March are more likely, but the round of profit taking seen from Dec. 10 through Dec. 12 point to growing concerns. Traders should expect lots of volatility and uncertainty as this announcement approaches," said Randy Frederick, managing director of active trading and derivatives at the Schwab Center for Financial Research.
"There is little consensus whether good news is good or bad right now, with the indicators that I watch showing everything from fully bearish to fully bullish." Among a number of M&A news, Avago Technologies Ltd agreed to buy LSI Corp for $6.6 billion, while American International Group Inc said it would sell its aircraft-leasing business to AerCap Holdings NV in a deal valued at about $5.4 billion.
Shares of Avago jumped 6.8 percent to $48.76 while LSI surged 39 percent to $10.96. AerCap surged 36 percent to $33.98 and AIG rose 2.3 percent to $50.86.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 138.94 points or 0.88 percent, to 15,894.3, the S&P 500 gained 12.6 points or 0.71 percent, to 1,787.92 and the Nasdaq Composite added 30.141 points or 0.75 percent, to 4,031.116.
The S&P 500 fell below its 14-day moving average on Wednesday and has not risen above it since, a sign of weak near-term momentum. However, the benchmark index is less than 2 percent below its record closing high, indicating that recent selling has not been panic-driven.
Twitter Inc briefly hit a new all-time high of $60.20 in early morning trading, but has since fallen 2.2 percent to $57.73 near midday trade.
Procter & Gamble plans to reorganize its overseas business as part of Chief Executive A.G. Lafley's plans to cut costs, according to a Bloomberg report that cited three unidentified people briefed on the matter.
The New York Federal Reserve said on Monday its "Empire State" manufacturing activity index rose in December to 0.98 from -2.21 in November. Economists in a Reuters survey had expected a reading of 4.75.

The meaner, more potent XR8 will be part of an updated Falcon range to be shown at next months Melbourne motor show before going on sale in April.
Having stated it would take part in the power war started by arch rival Holden which spawned Commodores with up to 300kW Ford is reacting to Holdens hot-selling Commodore 220kW SS with a more potent Falcon.
Holdens V8 equation jumped from less than 200kW to 220, thanks to an American-made Chevrolet engine. That gave Holden a big marketing and performance edge over Ford, which said it was more interested in the whole car rather than the maximum power.
Ford claimed that it did not want to take part in a power game.
The XR8s new engine, which is part of the Falcon upgrade, is believed to be the 200kW 5.0-litre V8 straight from the T-Series range of luxury performance models, which go head-to-head with HSV models.
It would then make sense that Ford put the "old" XR8s 185kW engine into the rest of the Falcon V8 models, replacing the base 175kW V8s.
Understandably, Ford refuses to comment on the Falcon upgrade, other than to say it will go on sale in April after being shown on March 3 at the Melbourne show. "Wait and see" is the official line.
The updated version of the AU Falcon is set to be one of the most significant Series II upgrades ever seen in Australia.
It needs to be, because Falcon sales have been at best adequate and at worst dismal, compared with the market-leading Commodore.
Ford brought forward the scheduled facelift in an attempt to speed up the Falcons recovery process.
While Ford executives have said openly there will be no changes to the Falcons sheet metal, the car is understood to look significantly different: for example, a different bonnet, new bumpers and an upsize on base cars to 16-inch wheels. Also expect new wheel designs.
Falcons will also get something theyve desperately needed bigger brakes.
Specification levels on all models are said to be upgraded along with significant revisions to the interiors.
Meanwhile, Ford boss Geoff Polites has confirmed that the company will launch a heavily updated version of the present Falcon complete with front and rear sheet metal changes in 2003. An all-new Falcon, which will use parts or "systems" from Fords DEW98 platform, will arrive in late 2005 or 2006 with V6 power.
The Falcon will use a cheaper version of the DEW98 platform, which at present is used for the Jaguar S-Type, in a bid to keep costs under control. Parts of this cheaper rear-drive platform will also be used for the next Mustang.

Cape Town - President Jacob Zuma should not be allowed to rewrite the Constitution "by stealth", DA parliamentary leader Athol Trollip said on Wednesday.
The Democratic Alliance was concerned about Zuma and National Assembly Speaker Max Sisulu's response to the findings of public protector Thuli Madonsela's SA Police Service (SAPS) lease deals reports, Trollip said in a statement.
A letter tabled in Parliament sent by Zuma to Sisulu strongly indicated the president had no intention of holding either Public Works Minister Gwen Mahlangu-Nkabinde or National Police Commissioner Bheki Cele accountable for the improper and unlawful conduct of which the protector found them both guilty, he said.
Secondly, reports that Sisulu had referred the reports to Parliament's Standing Committee on Public Accounts (Scopa) illustrated the ANC "is seeking to abuse parliamentary mechanisms to bury" Madonsela's damning findings.
The public protector, as a Chapter Nine institution, reported annually to Parliament, but its independence was enshrined in the Constitution.
Therefore, neither the Speaker, nor Parliament, had a mandate to amend or alter the findings of the protector's report in any way.
Dodgy deals
"Comments reportedly made by Scopa chair Themba Godi - that Scopa would seek legal advice regarding its handling of the... reports, including whether Sopa had the right to debate and amend Madonsela's findings and recommendations - expose the motivation that underlies the Speaker's decision to refer the report to this committee," he said.
This statement was reminiscent of one made recently by ANC treasurer general Mathews Phosa that Parliament should table, debate and, if necessary, amend the report on the "dodgy SAPS lease deals".
"Such sentiment is deeply misguided and must be opposed at all costs. Any attempt by Parliament to alter the public protector's report would constitute a direct undermining of the constitutionally enshrined independence of this institution."
At the same time the Speaker "seeks to bury" the report in Parliament, Zuma's letter to the Speaker appeared to be an attempt to assuage growing criticism of his failure to act decisively against two high ranking government officials.
"It is a feeble attempt to show that some action is being taken. However, its content indicates that the president continues to vacillate on what action, if any, will be taken against the disgraced minister of public works and the national police commissioner," Trollip said.
Remedial action
In the letter, Zuma made no direct mention of any punitive steps that had been taken against Mahlangu-Nkabinde.
Regarding Cele, Zuma stated merely that Cele had submitted a formal response to the minister of police concerning allegations made against him and that, obtusely, the minister would undertake further work with the Treasury and public service and administration.
Trollip said the protector's report did not contain "allegations" as Zuma referred to them, but rather findings arrived at after an exhaustive investigation by an independent body.
"The president cannot be allowed to rewrite the Constitution by stealth and classify the public protector's findings as open to amendment."
Madonsela's findings were clear and her recommendations for remedial action unambiguous. With each day that passed, public confidence in Zuma, his administration, and the SAPS was waning.
Zuma had to take action against those implicated in the report without further delay, Trollip said.
Take action zuma or soon the people will start taking action ...
Hasn't the TIME come that we stand together and implement some form of CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE??
For the sake of our future generations, we need to show the world and the CORRUPT ANC REGIME that we are "GATVOL!!!"
PLease..... TAMARA, SCHALK or one of our regular intellegent NEWS 24 Topic Posters lead the way forward. THANK YOU.
Can our president be impeached for inaction?
Can he be investigated by the public prosecutor for incompetence and maladministration?
Every tax payer should stop paying taxes.
Let us stop paying tax.
Hey let's face it, if Bheki Cele is dismissed, all that will happen is that another corrupt ANC cadre will step and continue the Corrupt Crusade. These guys are dedicated to ruining our country and our future.
- The constitution is a mere inconvenience for the Anc, in their lust for wealth and power. That hard won set of sacred rules and rights for all citizens, will undoubtedly be ignored and trashed by this rougish govt.
There is no more sanity in this country.
This so called parliament/president and policy of afirmheid (replacing apartheid) being implemented by the present regime, will eventually see the downfall of democractic south Africa.
Exactly what Malama wants. Why are we against his flow????
This REGIME only needs to see what is happening in Egypt with the trial of Muburak and his cronies.
we will have our turn i fear
The day is coming soon.......
very soon........
get your BB and Twitter accounts ready.......
black and white citizens should march together in streets united against these corrupt acts of treason against the nation... or are we too spineless ? the corrupt are trying to make out that it is whites against blacks. but we should march together against president for life zuma and his police commisioner , corrupt freinds, cronies and mates he has surounded himself with
The beautiful Aung San Suu Kyi imprisoned for as long as Mandela (for the crime of winning an election) wrote the following famous quote more than 20 years ago in an essay titled Freedom From Fear:
"It is not power that corrupts but fear. Fear of losing power corrupts those who wield it and fear of the scourge of power corrupts those who are subject to it."
It goes some way to explaining Zuma's paralysis.
Zuma is the worst thing to happen to this country, spineless corrupt little boy, and yet the next in line, malkop...is even worse! Africans that support the anc must be ashamed to see what has become of "Mandela's anc"
This corruption is affecting the poor the worst...don't they see this???
Time for Moeletsi Mbeki to stand up to these thieving hypocrites I think!!!
This is a question/challenge to all our courts, SAPS, Hawks, and all involved in Law enforcement.
Why do our laws NOT apply to government officials? Why do our laws NOT apply to people connected to the government? I often hear of ANC, ANCYL and other affiliated people being charged but I very seldom hear of any of them being convicted and sentenced, especially not any of the high profile cases.
Here is some proof (as I see it) that our Law enforcers are a bunch of cowards. The ANC and ANCYL are seen to be getting away with "murder" while I read of woman being arrested and thrown into jail for crossing a solid white line on the road.
Why are the ANC and ANCYL members who are allegedly responsible for corruption worth hundreds of millions not arrested and thrown into jail, tried, sentenced and incarcerated?
Why is justice not seen to be done?
The answer is very simple: JUSTICE IS NOT BEING DONE.
no because from a freedom fighter and bomber of the innocents point of view corruption is a misdemeanor
To answer your question, the ANC is one, corrupt, can of worms. The judiciary is one of the most corrupt of government departments. That's why nothing ever happens to top cadres!!! See?
Nothing prevents any of us to lay criminal charges against any of the accused. If 10 000 citizens go to police stations to lay the same charge, it will be difficult to ignore it.
good idea
Good idea Thabo
i bet most stations will refuse to help though, not against their cele
@DEVILS SON Charges have already been laid against Cele.
yeah dom i know, im saying from a public perspective, you or i would have probably been assaulted if we tried layin the charge, but the DA has the standing to get the charge through
Of course, Zuma won't do anything to his bum-chum.
To our lame president
Stop trying to hang onto your position. It does not help, your protege has already done everyting necessary to prevent you from retaining the presidency.
The Fat Fart and his new protectors in the ANC are working very hard at exposing you for the spinless, gutsless, useless pawn that you are. You will not be the Chosen One in 2012, they are working on replacing you with one of the pro-ANCYL a-holes. You are all talk and no action - STOP RUINING OUR CONSTITUTION, TAKE ACTION AND AT LEAST BE PRO-ACTIVE FOR ONCE IN YOUR TERM.
Phansi cANCer, Phansi!!!
It is about time that someone organised a march / sit in to the Union Buildings. Call on everyone opposed to abuse of power and failure to act on criminality to attend.
Seemingly, Zuma, in his endeavour to find a way of protecting Cele and his ANC minister, does not have the capacity and capability to compehend the constitutional standing and pronouncements of the Public Protector. He thinks he can come up with another finding on the pronouncements relating to the spending on police accommodation in Pretoria and Durban.
Like Malema who is entertaining hopes of changing the constitution to accommodate nationalisation of farms.
We will we will ....Rob you..

Where does native vegetation fit in this picture?
GroundCover™ Issue: 45
Geoff and Mary Woods, who farm outside Goondiwindi in Queensland, were interviewed onfarm as part of the GRDC-initiated survey of native vegetation management. The review aims to assess the benefits of native vegetation for graingrowers on both a farm and catchment scale.
The work has involved a telephone survey of 500 graingrowers and interviews with six graingrowers from each of the three GRDC regions. The-review will also look at the legislation and programs available to assist graingrowers manage native vegetation on their properties - and will identify gaps in knowledge, information delivery and on-ground capacity for vegetation management in the grains industry.
Mr Woods spoke to consultant Ian Perkins.
Farmer: Geoff & Mary Woods
Location: Goondiwindi, Qld
Area: 4,380 hectares
Crop area: 2,540 hectares (1,240 uncultivated basically vegetation and waterways - 50 per cent)
Crop types: Wheat, chickpeas, sorghum Cattle breeding
Proportion of area farmed: 58 per cent
Proportion of area under native vegetation: 14 per cent
Farming system: Primarily zero-till
Purpose for farming: What you grow into, what you like doing, what you're skilled at. Lifestyle. It's what I enjoy doing. I am also involved in agri-politics and directorships.
Should you be responsible for actions on your farm which affect someone else or something else (e.g. afuture buyer of the farm. another farm or wildlife)?
Yes. We should be responsible for impacts -local, regional and global. Information is not good enough; there seems to be a lot of politics in the global issues.
Do you think there is a trade-off between the viability of your farm and the costs of environmental management?
Yes, there is a trade-off.
How would you rate your awareness of the environment?
Pretty high.
What do you think are the benefits of native vegetation?
It sustains a multitude of birds, marsupials, etc and the birds control insect pests. We have had quite a bit of work done here over the years by various researchers. The trees have a positive effect due to their windbreak action. Personally of no economic benefit, but the trees are of personal aesthetic value. I like the trees. I am not going broke, so why wouldn't I let the trees stay?
What do you think are the disadvantages of native vegetation?
It attracts pigs and kangaroos. There is some loss of crop yield due to moisture loss. If you have trees, there will be a loss of production. However, the trees compensate for what they are stealing, so the key to this is: if you can afford to keep the trees, it is easier. We have done research projects with CSIRO in attempts to evaluate the loss or gain and they have said the loss balances out the gain.
Do you actively manage native vegetation?
Yes, we do actively manage vegetation. We have planted trees and generally do not graze cultivation paddocks. We have done a number of joint venture research projects with CSIRO and the Queensland Department of Primary Industries.
Do you derive income from management of native vegetation?
Is your farm affected by land degradation? What type?
Erosion has been a major issue in places. We have spent a considerable sum over the last 15 years on soil conservation works, contour banks and waterways. Weeds are under control. Salinity - no.
Do you anticipate that your property will be affected by land degradation in the future? What type?
There will be some erosion, but erosion is reasonably under control now.
Are you working to a farm plan with regard to native vegetation?
Do you aim to increase the amoun/proportion of native vegetation?
What will this place look like in 5 to 20 years?
In ten years - similar with small increased areas of native vegetation.
If you were starting again with a totally natural/vegetated property. what would you do?
I probably would do it similarly. I would probably leave timber in different places, more natural features, along ridge lines etc, for erosion control and aesthetic reasons.
Major issues facing native vegetation - in this catchment. in this district. in this region?
Queensland government legislation is a mess - panic clearing causes huge problems. Weeds are an issue -lippia, mother of millions, a new cactus, etc. Accelerating soil erosion.
What information gaps/areas requiring research do you perceive?
There is a strong culture that a few trees are acceptable but, other than that, they're a bloody curse of a thing. Those attitudes need to change. There is a need to increase awareness of the value of native vegetation. There is a lot of interest in what we are doing with trees here, from neighbours and other farmers and there is a lot of scepticism as well.
Mary Woods was unable to be at the interview but she later spoke to Ground Cover. She is serving as chair of the community-based Murray-Darling Basin Committee, a regional pianning body under the National Action Plan. Native vegetation management and biodiversity are two key issues covered by the regional management plan, which is currently circulating as a draft.
The plan involves management and investment strategies for National Heritage Trust and National Action Plan funds over the next five years. "Some of the on-ground funding is to explore pilots and incentives and to support Environmental Management System (EMS) principles."
We asked her: what kind of incentives? "There have to be tangible returns like local government rate rebates or state/federal tax incentives for retaining native vegetation and biodiversity, and we will be developing pilot programs to demonstrate how these might work."
Mrs Woods conceded that investment in an EMS is trickier because it requires a market pay-off to command producer interest. Nevertheless she says, "I believe in the stewardship concept of land ownership. Most people do until they're threatened with loss of income." Other complex vegetation issues include both government and farmer attitudes to management of regrowth, which does not currently qualify as a greenhouse-friendly asset.
She suspects it will take time for the farming community to fully accept the longterm benefits of retaining biodiversity. For instance, under the Woods' brigalow soils lies a natural salinity bulge, which is stable at present. "We want to make sure it doesn't mobilise, by ensuring our farming systems are sustainable, but you won't have the aanswer for sure for another 50 years."

Wife of Central Bank Governor, Godwin Emefiele, reportedly Kidnapped
Wife of the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria CBN, Godwin Emefiele, has been reportedly kidnapped. According to Sahara Reporters, Mrs. Margaret Emefiele was kidnapped along the Benin-Agbor Road yesterday September 29th.
The kidnappers have contacted her husband and are demanding a huge ransom.
Nigeria will soon come out of recession, Kumuyi assures
Nigeria will soon come out of recession, Kumuyi assures
Pastor Williams Kumuyi, the General Overseer, Deeper Life Bible Church, on Friday, assured Nigerians that the country would soon come out of recession.
Kumuyi stated this in his sermon at a programme tagged "Night of Supernatural Wonders" held at the Abuja National Stadium.
The cleric, who said that Nigeria was passing through a wilderness just as the Biblical children of Israel, assured that the country would soon get out of economic crisis
He said "the wilderness we are passing through in our country will be over and we will receive our miracles. "As we look at our country today, we are going through the wilderness of recession, of distress and famine. "Just as it is in every state, local government and city all around, there is loneliness, unemployment and wilderness is visible "But I come to give you good news; there is hope for the hopeless." Kumuyi said Nigeria would, as Biblical Israelites, receive supernatural wonder and come out of its wilderness. "This is the good news, there will be a change from the point of recession, there will be freedom from poverty, sicknesses and disease," he declared.
The pastor, who called for national repentance for the desired change to come, urged individuals and the nation to embrace Jesus Christ as the Lord and saviour. He said there was the need for general confession and specific decisions to come to the side of God through Jesus Christ. "A change is coming your way and a turning around moment is coming your way. "However, there is need to have better relationship with the Lord Jesus before a change can come."
Independence: Buhari has ability to fix Nigeria, says Tambuwal
Independence: Buhari has ability to fix Nigeria, says Tambuwal
Gov. Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State on Friday expressed confidence in the ability of President Muhammadu Buhari to fix Nigeria.
Tambuwal has also maintained that,Nigeria would soon exit the current recession.
Tambuwal spoke to newsmen in Sokoto shortly after the conduct of two prayer sessions to mark Nigeria's 56th Independence Anniversary celebrations.
He said:" Nigerians have unshaken confidence in Buhari to salvage Nigeria. "We should continue to cooperate and support to take Nigeria to greater heights."" Tambuwal further implored Nigerians to continue to support leaders, at all levels. He also urged Nigerians to sustain their fervent prayers, for sustainable peace, unity and Socio-economic prosperity. " There is no country like Nigeria in the whole of the world in terms of human and material resources. " Nigerians can excel in all endeavours and anywhere they find themselves,globally. " Nigeria will also continue to provide leadership to Africa, as well as blossom as an indissoluble country. " Nigeria is currently just passing through a developmental phase, just like many other nations like USA had done,"the governor, averred.
Fraudulent financial scheme, MMM, trending
MMM, a get-rich-quick business that left thousands of Zimbabweans in financial dilemma, dominated timelines, blogs and news sites in the week of September 21 to 28, according to Google Trends.
Google's Communications and Public Affairs Manager for Anglophone West Africa, Mr. Taiwo Kola-Ogunlade, made the disclosure in Lagos on Friday.
Kola-Ogunlade said that many Zimbabweans were obviously wishing they could turn back the hand of the clock after losing their money on a popular online pyramid Ponzi scheme.
He said the information was particularly relevant to Nigeria as the scheme had already surfaced in the country and was receiving good attention.
"The Mavrodi Mondial Moneybox (MMM) Global Zimbabwe is a scheme that advertises itself as a mutual aid fund with a promised monthly investment returns of 30 per cent.
"Under the scheme, members contribute money to assist others. However, it is a network that relies on growing numbers of new members to pay off the old.
"It is linked to a fraudulent history that goes as far back as 1989.
"This scheme is currently in Nigeria and it is called MMM Federal Republic of Nigeria. The business has started to receive attention from Nigerians.
The Securities and Exchange Commission had in August raised the alarm over the activities of MMM under the name 'MMM Federal Republic of Nigeria', warning that the scheme was run by online fraudsters'.
The fraudsters, according to SEC, carry out their illegitimate business via Nigeria.mmm.net portal/platform, and are promising investors a monthly investment return of 30 per cent.
SEC said the venture had no tangible business model, describing it as a Ponzi scheme, where returns would be paid from the invested funds of others.
Investopedia.com describes a Ponzi scheme as a fraudulent investing scam promising high rates of return with little risk to investors. The scheme generates returns for older investors by acquiring new investors.
SEC on its website, had said, "The attention of SEC, Nigeria has been drawn to the activities of an online investment scheme tagged 'MMM Federal Republic of Nigeria (nigeria.mmm.net). The platform has embarked on an aggressive online media campaign to lure the investing public to participate in what it called 'mutual aid financial network' with a monthly investment return of 30 per cent.
"The commission hereby notifies the investing public that the operation of this investment scheme has no tangible business model hence it's a Ponzi Scheme, where returns are paid from other people's invested sum. Also, its operation is not registered by the Commission."
SEC, therefore, advised the general public to distance themselves from the online scheme, adding, "Please note that anyone that subscribes to this illegal activity does so at their own risk."
I'll continue to blame my predecessors for Nigeria's woes – Buhari
President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday said despite the criticisms of many, he would continue to blame his predecessors for Nigeria's woes.
He said passing the buck, which people have been frowning at, was important in order for Nigerians to know what went wrong with the country.
Buhari spoke at an event tagged, "The Conversation: An evening with creative youths," held inside the old Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The event, attended also by the President's wife, Aisha; Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo and his wife, Dolapo; as well as governors and other top government officials, had "Creative youth as drivers of the change agenda" as its theme.
Buhari said, "I am going to bore you with what we met. I know that I am being accused in the papers of passing the buck, but passing the buck is sometimes absolutely necessary to remind people who take things for granted.
"When we came in, I screamed to high heavens because I had promised a lot while seeking votes.
"I said where is the saving? There was no saving. There was no infrastructure, power, rails, roads, there was none. What did we spend the money on? I was told buying food and petrol.
"Where were the billions going? We conducted a study and found out that the oil marketers were committing fraud on at least one third of what they were importing, which is about 25 per cent of our foreign exchange.
"The youth must watch our elite, especially with the condition we found ourselves. It is unpatriotic for anybody to pretend that economically we have no problem.
"I have bored you with this long explanation because there are things that could be hidden from you by those that have mismanaged the country in the last 16, 17 years."
The President therefore tasked Nigerian youths to be alive to their responsibilities of holding their leaders and the elite accountable.
Boko Haram kills 14 soldiers in Niger
Niger's army said Friday that 14 of its soldiers and scores of Boko Haram fighters had been killed during a multi-month sweep operation in the nation's southeast.
Defence ministry spokesman Colonel Moustapha Ledru told state television that "123 terrorists" had been killed and "a large quantity of arms recovered from the insurgents."
It was not possible to independently verify this number.
Ledru said 14 soldiers were killed and 29 wounded in the joint operations with Chad's military took place between July and September 28.
They targeted the Diffa region, which lies just across the border from the Islamists' stronghold in northeastern Nigeria.
Ledru said the "terrorists" who had been killed had "infiltrated" into Diffa from Nigeria, adding that two fighters had been captured.
Boko Haram's seven-year insurgency has left at least 20,000 people dead in Nigeria and border areas of neighbouring Niger, Chad and Cameroon, and made more than 2.6 million homeless.
Attacks in Niger's Diffa region began in February 2015.
In late July this year a multinational force, drawn from Nigeria, Niger, Chad and Cameroon, was formed to tackle the Islamic insurgents and clear them out of towns and villages.
Ledru said operations had led to four strategic localities being taken back from Boko Haram control.
MTN lays off over 1000 contract staff, reduces salaries of some to N40k from N120k
MTN has reportedly laid off some of its contract staff, particularly those that work at the telecommunications call centers.
According to inside sources, many of them were given their disengagement letters yesterday, September 28th. Some of them that worked in their branch in Apapa, Lagos state, had their salaries reduced from N120,000 to N40,000 a month and were asked to continue working at their Ibadan office if they were still interested in the job.
Taribo West is Alive
Former Super Eagles defender and soccer legend turned pastor, Taribo West, was on Friday rumoured to be dead and so many Nigerians were beginning to express their grief but for the timely intervention of a few former colleagues.
The report of Pastor West's supposed death emerged from sections of the media that failed to verify the report.
Another former Super Eagles player, Victor Ikpeba, took to his page on Twitter to debunk the report.
Sports journalist, Colin Udoh, similarly urged Nigerians to ignore the reports after contacting Taribo West and speaking with him.
It would appear however that the rumour had been active for almost the entire day as another football legend, Idah Peterside had earlier put out a rebuttal which not so many people bothered to check.
A number of popular Nigerians have been victims of death hoaxes. In recent times, Africa's richest man and chairman of the Dangote Group of Companies suffered a similar fate.

InterServer VPS is one of the premium providers of virtual private hosting available. Offering Linux cloud plans that start at just $6 per month, InterServer provides reliable service, over 200GB of SSD storage, and monthly data transfers for Windows and Linux VPS cloud plans. InterServer consistently ranks highly in reviews, offering a reliable platform that can operate at better speed and uptime than many other VPS offerings. This is due to the company's special BGPv4 protocol, letting them route traffic in a faster way.
InterServer VPS Review
InterServer is a platform that offers hundreds of apps on cloud VPS platforms, a simple control panel that can be set up in minutes, and free migration. In addition, InterServer gives you the ability to add multiple language servers, 100% uptime guarantee, high performance storage, good customer support, and plenty of VPS upgrades and locations. With instant provisioning and flexible choices for software you wish to install on your platform, InterServer VPS consistently ranks well in terms of speed, reliability, and storage.
InterServer Features
InterServer offers high performance storage that is twenty times faster than disk drives offered by most companies. This lets you have anywhere between 30GB to 250GB of solid state drive storage. In addition, their service provides infrastructure, network, and hardware uptime of more than 99.9%. They barely ever lag or go down, and when they do, they're right back up — or your money back. In addition, they provide backups daily, a simple set up control panel, and instant provisioning to let you activate in just seconds.
Pricing and Plans
InterServer VPS offers two major plans for their service: the Linux VPS plan for $6 per month and the cloud VPS Windows plan for $10 monthly. You can also find coupons to reduce the overall cost of your service each month. Generally speaking, this price is quite low, as you're getting very high storage, good service, and great uptime for a low cost.
Customizable Platform
One of InterServer's major selling points is that their VPS can be quickly customized. You can add Fantastico, an additional IP, direct admin, Ksplice, cpanel, and more — and that's just software. You also can add as much hardware as you'd like in terms of storage, cpu cores, memory, and transfer capacity. It's easy to quickly boost your power in just a few mouse clicks as your business or hosting area starts to scale up, letting you have all the customizability you need.
Price Lock Guarantee
One great thing about InterServer is that the company keeps its hosting agreement true and transparent. There is no smoke and mirror type of dealing; it's all clear, and the company sticks to what they say in terms of their pricing policy. Their price lock ensures that you never have to pay more than what you pay when you sign up. The price you start with is the price you will pay for as long as you stay with the company, so you never have to be concerned about them upping the price without your knowledge.
Customer Feedback
User reviews of InterServer are generally quite positive. One user was a blogger who needed to start offering his own video series, with online courses. He wasn't sure where to host his videos where he wouldn't have to have downtime or lag. Fortunately, he found InterServer, which gave him a better experience for his viewers than what he had used with other companies. He also found their customer service much better than other sources — and liked that he didn't have to pay as much.
Another customer needed cron jobs for her site to ensure smooth running, but her former company for web hosting didn't help. InterServer didn't require that she got a contract like other companies did, giving her flexibility and speedy servers in very little time at all. She also got a response in less than 15 minutes when she had a question.
InterServer VPS is one of the top ranked VPS sources available. Offering service that is affordable, easy to set up, and reviewed highly by users everywhere, InterServer offers a great discount on new signups and their price lock guarantee ensures you will never have to pay more than you start out with. As a VPS hosting service, InterServer is one of the best choices out there, as seen from our InterServer VPS review. Rated 5/5 stars for pricing, speed, and hardware offerings.


text: I'm having an issue with my phone where it will not connect via bluetooth with This Device after the 2.1 update. I'm going to try some different custom ROMs to see if anyone has fixed my issue. I've combed through multiple forums trying to find the answers to the following questions, but I haven't had much luck. Many of the posts that are pointed to are very out of date. 1. Can I upgrade from the "forced" OTA (this one)? 2. Can I "Image" my entire phone before root? 3. Is there a way to "unroot" in case I can't find a ROM that fixes my issue? 4. What instructions should I follow to Root my phone? All of the ones that I have seen are dated before the OTA came out. 5. Will the root process work with Windows 7? 6. Is there a custom ROM that only contains bug fixes to the OTA? 7. I have HBOOT 1.46 on my phone will that allow me to get root? 8. How do I know that the ROMs are safe to use (no offense)? 9. Do I need some sort of virus protection or something after rooting? Sorry if these questions have been asked before, I really tried to get this information without asking, but there is a lot of old/conflicting info out there. Thanks!

text: Apostolic Successors Who are the Apostolic successors? That they should go out to the world and make disciples of all nations starting from Jerusalem and baptizing them in the name of the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit. I see Peter and Paul left a legacy through Christ that has survived persecution to this very day and are not dead offices in Christ but alive in the word past,present and future until the coming of the end of the age. There are two main branches of offices that survived one by ST Peter's faithful companion ST Mark (orthodox) and the other St Paul (Roman Catholic Church.) History of Mark There is a tradition which says that Mark was the youth who witnessed Judas' betrayal of Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane. Of the four evangelists, only St. Mark relates the incident: And there followed Him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold on him: And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked (Mark 14:51-52). His mother had a house in Jerusalem (cf. Acts 12:12), which some suppose to have been in or near the Garden. Perhaps the youth was awakened-the betrayal occurred at night-and ran out to see what the commotion was about. It is, in any case, a plausible explanation of why he was undressed. By birth a Jew of the priestly tribe of Levi, St. Mark was a nephew of the Apostle Barnabas. Although not a direct disciple of Jesus Christ, he was one of the 70 Apostles. One can assume that he became acquainted with many of Christ's disciples when they gathered in his mother's home. He developed a particularly close bond with St. Peter, who referred to him as "my son" (I Peter 5:13). Later he became a faithful companion and assistant to the Apostle Paul. He witnessed the martyrdom in Rome of both chief Apostles: St. Paul by execution and St. Peter by crucifixion. St. Mark travelled extensively in spreading the Gospel. He accompanied Paul and Barnabas when they returned to Antioch after distributing relief to the Jerusalem Christians, and assisted them in their missionary work on the island of Cyprus, where his uncle was bishop. In Perga Mark left them to return to Jerusalem, and from there set off for Rome with Apostle Peter. The Roman Christians were not satisfied with hearing about Christ; they clamored earnestly for a written record of His life and teachings. St. Mark complied and wrote his account, considered to be the earliest of the four Gospels. It was approved by St. Peter as being wholly accurate, and was accepted without disputation by all the local Churches as authentic, divinely-inspired Scripture. From Rome St. Mark was sent by St. Peter to preach the Gospel in those regions bordering the Adriatic. His ministry was fruitful; everywhere churches were established. St. Peter then appointed Mark bishop and sent him to Egypt. Egypt was a land full of pagan idolatry, although not without sophistication. Its principal city, Alexandria, boasted a superb library and was a renowned center of Hellenic learning, attracting scholars from all corners of the empire. The city claimed a sizable Jewish community, and it was there, on the initiative of Ptolemy Philadelphus, that the Hebrew Old Testament was translated into Greek; it is this Septuagint edition which was accepted as authoritative Scripture by the Apostles and which remains the standard version for the Orthodox Church. After sojourning for a time in the coastal cities of Pentapolis, and bringing many there out of the darkness of ignorance into the light of faith, the Evangelist was led by the Holy Spirit to sail east to Alexandria. As he reached the city gates, one of his sandals broke. A cobbler, in trying to fix it, punctured his hand with his awl. St. Mark made a paste of some earth mixed with his spittle and applied it to the bleeding wound with the words, "In the name of Jesus Christ Who lives forever, be thou whole!" Immediately the blood stanched and the wound closed. The grateful cobbler insisted on inviting St. Mark to his home, where he questioned him closely: "Who are you and what is your business, and who is this Jesus Christ?" St. Mark proceeded to expound the gospel, which so impressed the cobbler that he and his household asked straightway to be baptized. The Apostle took this as an auspicious sign, and he was not mistaken. As promised, the Lord confirmed the Apostles' preaching with signs and wonders: the sick were healed, the deaf were made to hear and the blind to see. The number of faithful increased daily, and under St Mark's tutelage these Egyptian Christians attained an impressive level of sanctity. Many gave away their possessions and moved outside the cities, forming communities devoted to the disciplined pursuit of Christian excellence. The Alexandrian Jewish philosopher Philo described their lifestyle: "In every house there is a holy chamber called a sanctuary or 'monastery', where they celebrate in seclusion the mysteries of the sanctified life, bringing in nothing-drink, food or anything else required for bodily needs-but laws and inspired oracles spoken by prophets, hymns, and everything else by which knowledge and true religion are increased and perfected....The whole period from dawn to dusk is given up to spiritual discipline... "They not only practice contemplation but also compose songs and hymns to God in all kinds of metres and melodies, setting them, as might be expected, to solemn measures. /.../ Having first laid down self-control as a foundation for the soul,, they build the other virtues on it. None of them would take food or drink before sundown, as they hold that philosophy deserves daylight, while darkness is good enough for bodily needs." Philo was specially taken by some of the older women, "who have remained single, not of necessity, like some priestesses of pagan cults, but of their own free will, through their passionate craving for wisdom, with which they were so eager to live that they scorned bodily pleasures, and set their hearts not on mortal children but on immortal, which only the soul that loves God can bring into the world." (Quoted by Eusebius in his History of the Church.) There in Alexandria St. Mark established a catechetical school which produced many great apologists for the Faith: Clement, Dionysius (of Alexandria), Gregory the Wonderworker, and others. The pagan leaders, infuriated by the progressive spread of Christianity in their domain, conspired to kill St. Mark. On learning of their evil resolve, the Apostle ordained Anianus bishop and fled to Pentapolis. He strengthened the Church he had established there earlier and brought the Gospel to more remote parts of Libya and to Ammonicia. Returning to Egypt, St. Mark continued his apostolic labors, rejoicing in spirit at the abundant harvest of souls. At last, however, the pagan leaders, bitterly resenting his authority, found opportunity to kill him. The approaching celebration of Pascha coin-cided that year with the festival of the pagan god Serapis, drawing scores of idol-worshippers to the city. As St. Mark was celebrating the divine service, a mob of pagans broke into the church and seized their prey. The holy Apostle was bound with a rope and dragged through the streets of the city, as his captors shouted mockingly, "We're taking the ox to the stall!" He was thrown into prison, his body lacerated by the sharp stones over which he had been mercilessly dragged. That night an angel strengthened him for his final trial. "Slave of God, Mark, thy name is written in heaven in the Book of Life. Thou hast been numbered among the holy apostles, and thou wilt be remembered unto ages of ages. Thou wilt rejoice with the powers on high, and on earth thy precious relics will be preserved." Then the Lord Himself appeared and said to the Saint: "Peace to thee, Mark, My evangelist." In the morning the Saint, a rope tied around his neck, was again led through the streets like some dumb beast, accompanied by a great crowd of jeering pagans. Utterly spent, the meek sufferer eventually collapsed and his soul, released from its earthly tabernacle, ascended to heaven. The pagans, not content with having killed the Saint, wanted to destroy also his lifeless body, but they had scarcely lit the bonfire that was to have consumed the body before there was a mammoth thunderclap; the earth shook and the sky loosed a storm of hailstones. The fire was quenched and the pagans dispersed, allowing the Christians to come and collect the sacred remains of their martyred bishop and father in the Faith. These they placed in a stone coffin in the place where they gathered for common prayer. Later, in the ninth century, Islamic incursions caused the relics to be transferred to Venice, where they are preserved to this day in the magnificent basilica dedicated to this holy Apostle and Evangelist. Compiled from The Lives of the Holy Apostles (from the Menology of St. Dimitri of Rostov), Holy Apostles Convent; the Life of St. Mark by Nun Barbara in Pravoslavnaya Zhizn, Jordanville; and The Prologue of Ochrid by Bishop Nikolai Velimirovich, Lazarica Press. The Church of Alexandria in Egypt is the particular church headed by the Patriarch of Alexandria. It is one of the original four Apostolic churches of Christianity, with Rome, Antioch and Jerusalem (Constantinople was added later as the fifth). The Church of Alexandria claims jurisdiction over the Christians in all the African continent. In other words, all the Christian churches in Africa are considered daughter churches of the Church of Alexandria. Today, three churches claim to be the direct heirs of the original Church of Alexandria: The Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria, an Oriental Orthodox church The Eastern Orthodox Church of Alexandria, also known as the Greek Orthodox Church of Alexandria, a Byzantine Orthodox Church The Yes it is by Act 2:38 that we are saved:And Peter said to them, "Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Faith as a whole(Trust, Repentance and Obedience to the Commandments of God in Him)and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ that we receive the gift of eternal life through the holy Spirit. Remembering the apostles suffered unthoughtful deaths so we could have the message of our Father through Christ the Good news that we all freely hold and cherish with all our hearts, but it doesn't mean the authority has changed from what was established by our Father through Christ at the beginning which are the Orthodox and Catholic Church of today which has preserved the word of God through persecutions until this very day and many branches have originated from them like the protestant reform etc, God leads all things to correction and for the purpose of Good. May God continue Blessing all those who are for Christ in His work in Jesus name. brother in Christ rodger

In another First Amendment case, this one involving the Free Exercise Clause, the Court reaffirmed rulings made over sixty years ago for the same group, Jehovah's Witnesses. The small Ohio village of Stratton prohibited canvassers from going door-to-door to sell any product or promote any cause without first getting a permit from the mayor's office. Jehovah's Witnesses objected to having to get a permit to carry their message, and sued on First Amendment grounds, claiming that it violated their rights to free speech, free exercise of religion, and freedom of the press. The lower courts upheld the provisions, on the grounds that they were content neutral and applied to all individuals and groups. Moreover, the village had a legitimate interest in protecting its residents from fraud and undue annoyance.
The Supreme Court, however, reversed in Watchtower Bible & Tract Society v. Village of Stratton (2002), and by an 8-1 vote upheld the claims of the Witnesses that any effort to limit or regulate their proselytizing infringed upon their Free Exercise rights. The Court in many ways did little more than reaffirm the principles established in the Jehovah's Witness cases of the late 1930s and early 1940s, such as Murdock v. Pennsylvania (1943), Schneider v. Town of Irvington (1939) and Cantwell v. Connecticut (1940). As Justice Stevens explained, while townships had legitimate interests in preventing fraud or other crimes, ordinances regulating door-to-door solicitation had to be very narrowly drawn in order not to impinge on the religious rights of groups like the witnesses, or other groups who are poorly financed and rely extensively upon this method of communication, including nonreligious groups and individuals.
While the village of Stratton had drawn a content neutral ordinance, it was overly broad, and thus impinged on First Amendment rights. According to Stevens, the ordinance was so broadly written that it could apply to neighbors ringing each other's doorbells "to enlist support for a more efficient garbage collector." A simpler manner for residents to avoid unwanted solicitations would be to post "No Solicitor" signs, which could be enforced by local authorities.

A Disney Tale: Make Mine Music II arrives in the form of another package feature of various animations set to familiar pieces of music, this time with a focus on American folklore.
Disney Hero: As with the previous package features, there are a number of 'heroes' in this film. Principal among them are the two figures of American folklore: Johnny Appleseed and Pecos Bill. Johnny Appleseed (real name John Chapman) is a real figure of American history, famed for introducing apple trees to a number of states in the late 18th/early 19th Century. He was also deeply religious, which is reflected in Melody Time.
Pecos Bill, on the other hand, is more of a myth with a number of supposed legends attributed to him. Whereas Johnny Appleseed is an upstanding Christian man, Pecos Bill is a rooting, tooting cowboy who smokes, chases women and lives a life of chaos. He was brought up by wolves (in scenes reminsicent of The Jungle Book's early scenes) and, until he meets the love of his life, appears to have very little human interaction.
Another hero in Melody Time is Joe who appears in the first segment - Once Upon a Wintertime. He is a young, blond man taking his lady love, Jenny, out on a snowy winter's day for ice-skating and romance. Events conspire to put Jenny in danger and Joe proves his worth by rescuing her.
Melody Time also features brief appearances from Donald Duck and Joe Carioca. They appear in a segment entitled Blame it on the Samba where they are depressed and brought back to vibrancy by a bit of singing and dancing. Neither character speaks.
One more here is the tugboat, Little Toot, who goes on his own adventure to prove his worth in a segment incredibly reminiscent of the Pedro short from Saludos Amigos which features a little plane battling against the odds to prove his worth.
Disney Heroine: With this film's emphasis on figures of American folklore, women get a bit of a raw deal. In Once Upon a Wintertime, Jenny, Joe's love, is a damsel in distress (although with a bit of an edge to her). No female characters of note appear in The Legend of Johnny Appleseed, Little Toot or Trees. In Blame it on the Samba, Donald and Joe are entertained by the musical stylings of Ethel Smith on the organ.
Pecos Bill features Slue-Foot Sue a relatively feisty woman who Bill falls for. For all her daring adventures, however, she is defined mostly by her beauty and coy looks towards Bill. She ends up shot to the moon where she stays.
Disney Villain: Across the various shorts there really aren't any identifiable villains. In Pecos Bill there are some rustlers, adorned with thick black moustaches and gold teeth but beyond these rather stereotypical and undeveloped characters, there are really only the various musical elements which try to attack a bee in the Bumble Boogie segment.
Disney Sidekicks: Melody Time has a selection of sidekicks across its different shorts. In Johnny Appleseed, the eponymous character has a guardian angel who inspires him to plant his apple trees around the USA.
Pecos Bill's sidekick is his horse, Widowmaker. Bill saves Widowmaker from vultures and they spend their days together. When Slue-Foot Sue arrives on the scene, however, Widowmaker becomes intensely jealous. Because of Widowmaker's machinations, Slue-Foot Sue ends up stranded on the Moon.
Another sidekick is the Aracuan Bird, familiar from previous South American-themed package films, who manages to raise Donald and Joe from their doldrums with a bit of Samba.
Disney Creatures: There is a wide selection of animals across the various segments of Melody Time. In Once Upon a Wintertime, a pair of rabbits mirror Joe and Jenny's romantic story. Bumble Boogie concerns a lone bumblebee escaping from a surreal nightmare. Johnny Appleseed seems to have an affinity with the forest animals. Seagulls swirl around Little Toot and Pecos Bill encounters various critters from wolves, to snakes, to vultures. Slue-Foot Sue arrives in the story riding on the back of a catfish!
Disney Magic: There is a reality to Melody Time which doesn't allow for the magical elements common to Disney's more fantastical films. The closest any sequences come is in the surreal experience of Donald and Joe in Blame it on the Samba. The other near-example is in The Legend of Johnny Appleseed which shows Johnny ascending to heaven at the close of the segment. This is a relatively unusual recognition of a Christian afterlife in a Disney film and whilst not 'magical' per se, does indicate the 'supernatural'. What's interesting is that it isn't the cartoon stereotype of winged people sitting on clouds playing harps
Disney Land: The different sequences of this film take place in a variety of places and yet most are based in the USA, in particular the frontier lands which feature significantly in many Disney theme parks.
Disney Songs: Much like Make Mine Music, Melody Time is a 'modern' take on Fantasia. Each segment is accompanied by various songs, singers and music. I can't say I like any of the songs or singers and it perpetuates the problems I had with the music in Make Mine Music. It's the easy listening style which just sets my teeth on edge. The one saving grace is the Bumble Boogie version of Flight of the Bumblebee - a classic, classical piece of music.
Disney Finale: It has taken me months to write up this review of Melody Time. It is easily my least favourite of the Disney canon so far and I has been a struggle to work up the enthusiasm to write anything about it. Of the two 'modern Fantasias', Make Mine Music is my preferred choice and that's mainly due to the inclusion of Peter and the Wolf. The only sequence I really enjoyed in this one was Bumble Boogie and I certainly feel the 'animated music' theme of these two films works much better in the classical context of Fantasia (and indeed Fantasia 2000). I was also disappointed in the fact that in modern versions of the film, it is promoted with images of Donald Duck. Within the film, however, he features in one, short sequence in which he never speaks and just feels like something swept up from the cutting room floor after they made The Three Caballeros. Joe Carioca, a fun character in the South American package films, is similarly wasted here. The package films have been followed a law of diminishing returns. Whilst there was a fun, joyous element to the South American ones, Make Mine Music was a step down, trying to emulate Fantasia with less appealing music. Fun and Fancy Free was effectively just two short films stuck together with only Mickey and the Beanstalk really entertaining me. Melody Time continues the downward trend and leaves me pleased that we will return to full-length features relatively soon, even if we need to stop off at another 'Fun and Fancy Free-style' film beforehand.
