Heartsease pansy Viola tricolor
Spreading their way along the front flower-border of my garden are numerous little Heartsease pansies (Viola tricolor). Photo 1 (click to enlarge) shows a solitary plant flowering in early April and photo 2, taken more recently, a patch of its joyously sprawling compatriots enjoying Oxfordshire's recent combination of warm, wet weather. As was the case for the California poppies I wrote about recently, I am in no doubt about the identify of these plants since it was me that grew the first of them from a packet of seed some few years ago.
A tough little creeping perennial, Heartsease is the wild ancestor of the myriad cultivated pansies you can find in your local garden centre. As I learnt from reading the site of the American violet society, amongst the first persons to take a horticultural interest in Heartsease was the British Admiral Lord Gambier (1756-1833) who, when he wasn't battling the Napoleonic fleet, was busy with his gardener William Thompson, breeding the first hybrid pansies. I have to say that I prefer the original, but each to their own!
From my copy of The Englishman's Flora (Geoffrey Grigson, publ. Paladin) I learn that there are dozens of alternative names for my pansy, including the poetic Love-In-Idleness the name used by Oberon in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream (Act II, scene 1) when he describes the power the flower has as a love potion:
And maidens call it love-in-idleness
Fetch me that flower; the herb I shew'd thee once;
The juice of it on sleeping eyelids laid
Will make or man or woman madly dote
Upon the next live creature that it sees.
Can anyone out there tell me if this works?!
A name that doesn't get a mention in the book above is 'Johnny Jump Up', the name used in the U.S. I understand.
V. Tricolor is a member of the (approximately four-hundred strong) Viola genus of flowers. The rather asymmetrical (the technical term being zygomorphic) arrangement of the five petals is believed to make it an example of a highly evolved flower. The streaks on the lower petals are supposedly there to act as nectar guides for pollinating insects, these being (in the Netherlands at least, according to a scientific paper I came across by Veerman and Zon, 1964) mainly bumblebees and the Silver 'Y' Moth (Plusia gamma).
There are some excellent sites (this one for example) on the internet describing the botanical details of flower structure. The name and purpose of one structure has eluded my (decidedly non-expert) attempts to identify it however, namely the two white 'lips' that can be seen in the centre of the flower in photo 1 (click to enlarge). Under magnification (photo 3, 40x) these remind me of white-tentacled sea-anemones. No doubt an embarrassing display of botanical ignorance, but can anyone tell the name and purpose of these curious structures?

I love this work so much. I must admit some envy at the quality of your micro-images. My SEM images are a source of great pride to me, but obviously the Proscope images while cool and fun, are not nearly as good as a real quality 'scope. If only my compound or stereo (dissecting) microscopes had a tri head or some camera attached, I could try to get shots like these. With your permission, since I have now hit the end of my latest image set (And need a bit of time off.), I would like to make a post about your page. If you agree, it would be great if I could show one set of images from you (perhaps the most recent). Really top notch work here.

Many thanks for your too-kind comments. Your own blog makes great reading also.
No problem at all - I'd be pleased and flattered for you to do as you suggest (I ask only that people don't sell my humble snaps themselves for profit and quote their source).
If I may be so presumptious, amongst my own personal faves are the May12th pollen image and the Jan27th moss-leaf cells...but take your pick. As mentioned in the text however, sadly beautiful May19th mite SEM isn't one of mine.

Can you share with me what type of microscope - camera you use? (And sorry if you explain this in the blog and I simply missed the post).
Your images, if posted, will fall under my image policy that states, among other things: "Anyone found using these images in any way without credit and permission, or selling them with or without credit, will be subject to aggressive action on my behalf including litigation."

I request permission to use your first pansy image for an Artist Trading Card that I am composing. You can see examples of my ATCs at my blog, listed in my profile.
I will credit you and your blog on the card. These art cards, the size of football cards, are not for sale, only for trading with others. I'm working with a theme of Midsummer Night's Dream, showing your flower and Shakespeare's text.
I can send you a link when I'm done, if permission is granted.

Hi Henry,
Some nice piccies and interesting blog; thanks.
You ask about the beards in the throat of the heartsease flowers...
They are called trichomes.
They help disloge pollen from visiting insects' heads and probosces, whence it falls and collects (somewhat precariously) in the narrowest part of the throat. That is just below the opening on the stigma, which is where the pollen has to get to to enable germination. The pollen may get into that opening directly from the visiting insect (eg. various species of bee), but the trichomes help. There is scope, however, for variations and alternatives to that idea.
The insects have to collect pollen to take to the next flower as well, of course. So things can get a little confused. But generally, in order to reach the reward (the nectar at the end of the spur), the insect has to push against the head of the stigma. And it is that push that causes the stigma to kink and break the box formed by the stamens surrounding it. If the time is right, the stamens will have already shed their pollen, so that box will be filled and ready to dump the pollen onto the insect's proboscis on its way out. There is often a narrow groove in the base of the throat to help concentrate the pollen where the proboscis is most likely to have entered.
But sometimes, the insects cheat! Bumble bees can nip a hole in the spur and sup the nectar directly, thereby not participting in the pollination process. Which might be cunning. ...Because it might induce the flower to keep producing nectar for longer!
Not all species of Viola have the trichomes, but they seem to do OK!

The Dow Jones Industrial Average did a free-fall of nearly 12-hundred points on Monday, down 4.6%, its worst drop ever. Creighton University Economist Ernie Goss says there is probably more to come.
Goss says, "The Volatility Index has doubled over the last few weeks so this is not a time for those faint of heart. This is all about interest rates and all about inflation and it is global, not just in the U.S. We are seeing it across the globe right now."
When it comes to interest rates, Goss says short term rates are already scheduled to go up about three-quarters of a percent. He believes it will be higher, ranging from 1 1/2% on the short end to another 1% increase in long term rates. According to Goss, we also need to see inflation calm down. He says have gone to a world concerned about deflation to one now that is concerned about inflation all in a matter of months.
So, how should investors react? Goss says, "This is no time to panic. It depends on your outlook. If you are looking at six to ten months or a year, maybe you need to move into cash. If you are long-term, 3, 4, 5 to 10 years, don't panic. We are going to see a return to good fundamentals."
Goss says another player will be the release of the Consumer Price Index by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. That will happen next Wednesday.

For My last brief of the year one of my tasks is to create an illustration based on my final design, as soon as I had finished my design and researching other illustrators I had a(kind of) clear idea of what I wanted to do.
Illustrators that I have used as inspiration are Nadia flower(top) and Montana Forbes(bottom).
I started by taking an Image of Hyorin from a kpop band Sistar
And then drawing around her head and hand on photoshop
I then went through loads of resizing, drawing and scanning to add a figure to match the head.
I then spent around 3 - 4 days editing, colouring and experimenting and so far this is the illustration I have created mostly on photoshop.
At the moment I'm still a bit sceptical about some of this illustration, I have a feeling that this problem is going to occur quite frequently, this may or may not be my final illustration (just looking at this I can see things that need retouching!)
Thanks for reading! What do you think of my illustration??
Any feed back would be a huge help to my annoying Indecisiveness!!

What a thrill I got on Friday night when Colin arranged for me to play on stage, partnered with the Witney's Mayoress (Chrissy Curry) against John Lowe and Eric Bristow. I threw some terrible shots before finally getting a steady 60. By that time the legends were miles ahead and John Lowe sunk the D5 to win.
This was my first time on a proper stage, and I was just as awful as I imagined I'd be!
It's weird – it's not the nerves, it's the total lack of connection with the dart board itself. All you can think of is what is happening behind you, and not the thing you are straining to hit with a dart!
Everything the Mayoress scored was doubled by MC Paul Booth, so by the time I hit the very ordinary 60 Eric Bristow whispered in my ear "So did he double that score for you?!" Absolutely class!
A magic moment in my life, and I will absolutely treasure the glass trophy I was presented with at the end of the evening. I'll post a photo of it on here soon – it is some classy work by the Witney Trophy Centre.

"A (Jewish) man was traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho and was attacked by bandits who robbed him of his clothes and money. They beat him up and left him half-dead by the side of the road."
Wow! A friend of mine from Nigeria had almost an identical experience, this is happening even today, so this is relevant. "By chance a (Jewish) priest came along and when he saw the man lying there he crossed to the other side of the road and passed him by." This seems incredible doesn't it? How can a man just pass by someone who is beaten up and lying on the side of the road? "Then the temple assistant came along and also passed by on the other side of the road." What a sad and pathetic situation! "Then a despised Samaritan came along and when he saw the man he felt deep pity for him. Kneeling beside him, the Samaritan helped him."
Samaritans were considered enemies of the Jews and were considered to be like scum. They were the people down the road with whom the Jews had no dealings with, like a Dalit or an "Untouchable" in India. So this despised Samaritan comes along, kneels down, bandages the man and puts him on his donkey and takes him to an Inn where he could be taken care of. The next day he gives the innkeeper two pieces of silver and tells him to take care of him. The innkeeper is assured, if the bill runs higher, then he will be paid the difference next time he passes through. What a powerful and revolutionary story! The story of the Good Samaritan is a favorite story of children. As adults, we sometimes just gloss over and read the story.
When I first launched into ministry I was not that concerned about peoples' physical needs in terms of my own ministry. I prayed for people often if they were ill and was concerned in my heart, but I made the mistake of thinking that other organizations like World Vision or Tear Fund, medical missionaries, agencies like the Salvation Army and later on people like Mother Theresa—they answered the Good Samaritan call and it was their ministry. My ministry was literature evangelism, winning people to Christ, training people, planting churches and leadership. We were overwhelmed with what we were attempting to do, much less take on other tasks in terms of peoples' physical needs. That was 61 a great mistake on our part. It took people from the two-thirds of the world and people like Tony Campolo and Samuel Escobar, men and women from many different countries, a deeper study of the Word of God and a re-look at stories like the Good Samaritan to completely change me in regard to this great challenge. There are many people today lying by the side of the road. We cannot pass them by, nor can we just give them a tract or a Bible and say, "See you later." We must somehow respond to the challenge of Jesus concerning peoples' physical situation. If you are already overcommitted, this message needs to be contextualized into your situation; I am not wanting you to just take on more in terms of deeds and action, but I want you to take this message into your heart and your spiritual DNA and share it with others who may not be overcommitted, and not yet even be saved. This aspect of our kingdom message appeals to non-Christians. Many non-Christians are the pace setters in some of the things I am going to talk about. When we, maybe not even fully understanding it, at least sympathize with them and have some discernment (Christians often lack discernment in these areas) we are going to find them more open to talk about Jesus.
Britain is one of the most humanitarian nations that has existed in history. It is part of the culture and DNA of the nation. Even as the nation has tended to part and leave the basics of the Christian faith, the challenge of giving has remained within the culture. All different charities are trying to raise money. You and I, if we want to make an impact in post-modern Britain, have to learn to affirm people who as yet don't know Jesus, but are doing good things rather than constantly come across negative about anyone who is not a Christian. The amount of prejudice against Christians today is greater than it had been before, for many reasons, rather than get very upset and blame this person or that person, especially those in government, we need the Holy Ghost's discernment to understand the new culture in which we live.
There are innumerable global scourges around us, but let me list here just seven. What I am talking about here is not about individuals, but clusters of people.
1. Children at Risk The first person lying by the side of the road is a little child—millions of little children. One billion children are at risk, about one-sixth of the earth's population. Many of them are dying. Many groups in the world are responding to "children at risk," but research by Viva Network and Patrick McDonald has shown that there is an awful lot of work yet to be done. We are speaking of children who are sold into factory slavery, and thousands of children in the age of 11 or 12 who are sold into sexual slavery. We are talking about street children in places like Brazil, where sometimes even the police pull the trigger and murder them. We are talking about millions of AIDS orphans in Africa and other countries. Th ere are new books coming out about children, some of them are living right down the street, sometimes abused by their own parents. If you do not think that is an issue then you are living in a cloud and you need to come down to earth. If you don't think that happens to those who profess to be followers of Jesus Christ, then you obviously have not been involved in much personal ministry with people. "Children at risk" is overwhelming and it is time for the church to speak out and to reach out and do what the Good Samaritan did in Luke 10.
2. Abused Women The second person lying by the side of the road is a woman, an abused woman, a woman at risk. True Grit by Debbie Meroff , I believe, is probably the most significant book that we have ever published by Authentic Media. Th is is a book about women and what they are suffering. We have reprinted this book many times over by now. It is unbelievable to know what is going on in Europe in the area of sex trafficking; even President Bush has been speaking out about this, as well as other global leaders. We need to have a more biblical, revolutionary view of women and their suffering. The abuse of women under certain religious systems is unbelievable. What went on in Afghanistan during the Taliban rule? Very few Christians spoke out about it.
The Feminist Movement, though having many positive and negative points, were the first to speak out on the suffering of women in Afghanistan. In God's mercy the Taliban was removed. What about female circumcision? Have you ever read anything about that or do you prefer not to read things that are unpleasant? Friend, let me tell you something, if you do not want to read things that are unpleasant, then whatever you do, don't read the Bible. Some of the most unpleasant stories I have ever read, including rape, are written in the Bible. I believe one of the marks of authenticity of the Word of God is that it does not gloss over sin even when it is committed by a great leader like David, a man after God's own heart, who was guilty of murder and adultery. You and I need to speak out about things like female circumcision. I think the Danish Government was the first to want to get a law against this. I can read pretty heavy stuff without getting ill, but I have never been able to finish what I have attempted to read about female circumcision, it is so sickening. It is so disturbing that women could be so abused and it is growing and still going on. Hundreds of thousands of women are going through this unbelievable ordeal.
3. The Extreme Poor
The third person lying by the side of the road is, what we call, the extreme poor. There are many poor people, and it is sad that many Christians with just one cliché write the whole thing off , even misquoting from the New Testament. If we study the Bible and listen to men and women of God down through the years going right back to William Booth, we know that God has a bias towards the poor. Some of you come from a poor background, and you should never ever be ashamed of that. You should never feel inferior in this society that it is still a class and racist and "caste"ist society even though we do not like to admit it. Some of the greatest people in the world came from the poorest background and some are still poor. What about the Dalits of India known as the Untouchables? There are 250 million of them which is more than three times the population of the British Isles. In the past few years the Dalits have started to move, they are leaving Hinduism by the thousands. Many have become Buddhists while others are knocking at the door of the church. In OM alone we have planted over two thousand churches in the last couple of years mainly for Dalits and many are experiencing the reality of the Holy Spirit. In India we have decided to be involved with the extreme disenfranchised and poor under the leadership of Joseph D'souza (he has written a book about the Dalits). We decided to involve in human rights, not in every aspect because it is such a huge area and one can easily get beyond their boundaries. A new movement (All India Christian Council) was born with Joseph D'souza, the leader of OM India, who was made the head of the Board. It is separate from OM, with all different agencies and churches, mainly Bible-believing people, to speak out in connection with the persecution of Christians in India, (especially after Graham Staines and his two sons were murdered) and the cause of the Dalits. Human rights: concern for human rights and defense of human rights are a part of God's kingdom. Guess what? Most Christians who are not involved with human rights still believe in it, because they get really upset when one of their neighbors does something that is a breech of their human rights. I am amazed at what upsets 65 the average person. It is usually trivial, but often is connected with human rights without us realizing it. We all believe in justice and human rights. It took me years to grasp this, but we are not just called to evangelize the world; we are also called to build the kingdom everywhere. Th at is overwhelming and you have to find your place and get guidance. If you can capture the whole vision in your heart, that will enable you to respond better to your particular part of the vision, no matter how small that may be. The global poor should be a priority and there is much that we can do. Th e church, more than ever before in history, is responding to this challenge. Th e story of Tear Fund is one of the greatest Christian stories in the British Isles as is the story of Bob Pearce founding World Vision and then Samaritan's Purse and hundreds of other less known agencies around the globe.
4. People with HIV/AIDS
The fourth person lying by the side of the road is the person with HIV/AIDs. Forty million have been infected and 20 million have died. Millions of children have been orphaned and whole societies are burgeoning under the weight of so many dying so young. Rather than standing by and judging, let us respond in love and action. (Many have HIV and don't know it.) Let us also take advantage of this opportunity to share the gospel. We have found that, because death is so imminent, AIDS patients are very open to the gospel. I would urge you to read Aids and You by Patrick Dixon. It is being supplied free around the globe. I took Patrick to meet with 50 Africans and others in Uganda who were concerned about this huge pandemic and it is overwhelming when we think of the task. Th e church is on the move but there is a lack of finance in this battle. In the western world you can get expensive medical cocktails, so people can live another five or ten years, but so many in India and Africa do not have access to these medications and medicines. We know Seven Global Scourges 66 Drops from a Leaking Tap of a few cases where God has intervened and healed people. I don't believe that we should limit our response to that huge problem only through prayer, though prayer has got to be a part of it. God sometimes does unusual things. We must mobilize the entire church for prevention. In Africa almost every church has people with HIV/ AIDS in their congregation. You don't die of AIDS, AIDS runs your body down so that any one of 50 different illnesses takes you in the end—many die very young.
5. People without Clean Water
The fifth person lying by the side of the road is the thirsty person. Water is becoming increasingly scarce. Thirty percent of the world has no access to clean water. Many have to walk miles to get clean water, and so often the ones who do it are children whose bodies are not designed for such back-breaking work. Big cities are running out of water and are shipping it in at great cost, while in other parts of the world the dysfunctional water systems are breeding grounds for disease. May each of us be part of the effort to see more people getting clean water, as we seek to preserve the precious water at our disposal. My concern is for the people in poverty-stricken areas of the world where there is drought and other difficulties leading to no access to pure water. They drink impure water from the river and many of them will be dead within the year. You and I can do something about it. Christian agencies are being raised up that primarily work to make available pure water. Non-Christians are doing it as well. Would you pray for these people? Would you pray for the release of money because it takes money to drill wells, and to make a water-purifying-machine from very basic components. It is incredible what can be done when we exercise a little sanctified imagination. Th at has always been one of my prayers for God's chosen people. If you are one of the unenthusiastic types let me tell you there is still hope for you, don't give up. Even if you are my age, there is still hope that a fire would be lit in your heart. Let us serve the thirsty people, the sick people, with simple pure water.
6. The Environment
The sixth person lying by the side of the road, this is going to really surprise you, is the planet earth, the environment. I was reading sitting in a train, and a man sitting behind me asked, "Are you George Verwer?" We talked and I discovered he was a Christian from Sunderland. He had heard me preach in Dublin in the seventies and somehow it struck a cord in his heart. He shared how his work is in connection with the environment and I was able to tell him that I now preach about that. I preach about the environment and the need to be concerned about the Rain Forest, the air we breathe. Asthma is getting out of control in the British Isles and this is linked with the environment. God is concerned about all these things and we can do something about them. It is a shame that so many evangelical Christians not only have little concern for the environment, but are sometimes known as antienvironmental. How can this be when our Creator God has asked us to care for his creation? Pollution of the earth is totally unacceptable. Th is is an issue that our young people care about, and if we don't connect with them on valid issues such as preservation of the environment, how then can we expect them to listen to us at all? Why do so many people throw rubbish all over the place? Have you ever taken a walk and seen all the rubbish? Sometimes my wife and I go for a walk and I take a bag and pick up rubbish as I go. Little things count with God! Th e Bible says if you give someone a glass of water you will get a reward. Are you out of the box enough to think that picking up a discarded bottle/can that could hurt someone, a child as they could cut or injure themselves, might get you some kind of reward? Hey, are you willing to think out of the box? Do you know what that means, those of you who are older? Out of the Seven Global Scourges 68 Drops from a Leaking Tap box is a young expression. It means that you are not just conforming to the same old ways; it means that you are willing to be different. Brothers and Sisters, let us start thinking about the environment, because that is also going to enable us to talk to many young people who have made this a big thing, maybe they have made this too big of a thing. If they don't know Jesus and are only concerned about animals and the environment then they are making a big mistake, as they will never get to heaven through doing these good works. But by talking and listening to them, sympathizing where you can, you may see them come to know Jesus. It is so worth reaching out of your own comfort zone even to people who do not understand. I am a pilgrim; I am a struggler. I fail and I constantly have to crawl back to the cross and re-read books like Calvary Road and be filled afresh with the Holy Spirit.
7. The Lukewarm Christian
It has been many years since I started to share on the 7 Global Scourges and eventually I based the message on the story of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10. I started to add "lukewarmness" about which I have been preaching for 53 years in a different message. In some messages Number 6 is "The Unborn" and Number 7 is "Th e Environment." These are listed on the back of my business card that I distribute and this is the list on my website; www.georgeverwer.com. (I hope you can take a look at it!) I have always believed that abortion is wrong. Mrs Payne, who was in OM spoke on this 30 years ago. I went on a Pro-Life March back in the eighties in Omaha, Nebraska with a local church. When my good friend Dr. Francis Schaeffer went into this in a major way towards the end of his life, I wondered about this, especially as I was living outside the USA, where people generally are more liberal in their thinking and often react to what they feel is "American pro-life extremism." I made a big mistake in my failure to speak out about 69 abortion and I thank the Lord that a few years ago after reading, praying and seeing our whole Movement become more holistic that I took the step to become more pro-active in this important area. Abortion is a horrendous thing. Have you seen photos of a fetus after a few weeks? No one has the right to take the life of that little child. I highly esteem women and I know that there are very complex situations at times, but they do not have the right to take a life. Most men and women of God are in agreement on this, yet, often we are silent. I then linked up with Randy Alcorn who has helped us fl ood his book, Why Pro-Life around the world. We are helping to translate this into languages, some of which almost have nothing on this subject. I would be happy to send it free to anyone who asks for it. Th is book is very down-to-earth and does not just hit people with Scripture verses as that doesn't always mean much to those who are not believers. I would urge every one of you to become more committed and active in this area of challenge and that you will be able to read this book. However, it is true that lukewarmness among the Lord's people is probably the greatest single global crisis in the body of Christ. It is not an either–or situation, but both. So, the seventh person lying by the side of the road is the lukewarm Christian. I believe that lukewarmness in the church is greater than all of the other problems. There is a danger in thinking that somehow all the problems are out there. In reality, often the problems are here. Lukewarmness is a scourge. I had been in meetings where a high percentage of people in the meeting acknowledged that they were lukewarm. Th ey stood up to repent, ask for forgiveness and pray the verses in Acts 4:31 "to go forth and speak the Word of the Holy Spirit" with boldness. Don't confuse basic lukewarmness with battling lukewarmness. We all at times battle lukewarmness. I have to battle lukewarmness just as I have to battle with wrong attitudes and impatience. Don't Seven Global Scourges 70 Drops from a Leaking Tap succumb and give in. Don't stop studying the Bible because it is boring. Perhaps the one exception to this is the person suffering from chronic medical depression, a very unique kind of illness. Those people need unique, special attention, concern, and prayer; but most of us do not fall in that category. However if it is a matter of struggle may you get the care that you need. It is not an easy road and many godly people have gone through that. My own wife went through depression for a year and by his mercy she came out of it. I am talking more about spiritual depression which comes about in neglecting the Word, prayer, getting discouraged or allowing bitterness to come in. My wife and I have had many disappointments in our lives, but we know that disappointment can be God's appointment to do better things for his kingdom. Many of the things that keep us from lukewarmness are not necessarily positive things. Negative things can really keep us on our toes. So we learn from our pilgrimage how to respond to the environment and circumstances. Until we keep our spiritual temperature at a place where it is not dependent on the weather, spiritually-speaking, we will never be God's marathon runners. Spiritually the weather does change, doesn't it? For us as God's people to mainly think about ourselves or even our own family and not reach out to the lonely, confused and bereaved is a great mistake and a breach of the teaching of Luke 10. May God enable us to receive his Word. May he keep us from feeling totally overwhelmed and enable us to understand that even the smallest thing we do for any of these people lying by the road side will be honored in the kingdom. Many of you have already been doing this for years and pouring funds into global missions. May God bless you. Th e new ship, Logos Hope will be more involved in the HIV/AIDS crisis, global poverty and in proclaiming this message that I have shared. Can you imagine the multiplication impact through prayer as we share these concerns? I don't remember who said, "It is easier to cool down a fanatic than to wake up a corpse." So let's not worry about becoming too enthusiastic for the global poor, too enthusiastic regarding HIV/AIDS, too enthusiastic concerning the problems of the environment. I don't think that too much enthusiasm is going to be our biggest problem. Let's take God's Word with all of our struggles, weaknesses and vulnerability; let's respond, making sure we are filled with the Holy Spirit. Let's not let lukewarmness get a hold of some areas of our lives so that we in turn can minister to all these groups of people we have spoken about. A new generation of young people is here. Instead of condemning them, because they would rather play a video game than hear a boring sermon in the local church, we should try to understand video games and the huge impact that they have both for good and evil on our culture. This generation of children generally are more interactive. They don't just only want to listen, they want to get involved in the action. If they would be saved, they could be the generation that finishes the task of world evangelism, because they are willing to roll up their sleeves and get involved. As I meet young people, I tell you, God is working in this post-modern generation. Do not become one more old-age wet blanket just because they don't want to sing the same hymns that you were singing when you went to Sunday school in 1908 or whenever it was. Let us pray:
Our God and Father you have brought this Word to my heart. I have shared it and I cannot run away from it even though (maybe) I have tried. Lord, I believe that you are going to raise up those who will pray more concerning all these things, those who will help release more finance, those who will help release more workers. Lord of the harvest we pray as we are taught in Luke and Matthew let us send forth workers into the harvest field.

North Korea Freedom Week 2015
Throughout this week, April 26 – May 4, people from around the world will meet in Washington DC to recognize the plight of North Korean refugees and prisoners of conscience.
North Korea Freedom Week (NKFW) is part of an annual effort to raise awareness for the tragic human rights violations carried out against the North Korean People. NKFW is sponsored by the North Korea Freedom Coalition, a group of more than 40 non-partisan NGOs, of which Open Doors USA is a member. The Coalition members are from all political parties and religious faiths, but share the view that promoting human rights for North Korea should be the primary focus of all policy decisions involving North Korea.
Among those joining the North Korea Freedom Week events in Washington DC is a delegation of North Korean defectors, individuals who have suffered under the regime and will be sharing their firsthand experiences.
NKFW takes place in Washington D.C. and includes several activities including prayer vigils, Congressional hearings and a rally. North Korean defectors will share their stories at various events throughout the week. If you live in the Washington D.C. area, I encourage you to attend one or more of the several public events. Check out the North Korea Freedom Week Schedule of Public Events.
For the 13th consecutive year, North Korea is ranked No. 1 on the 2015 Open Doors World Watch List. The god-like worship of the leader, Kim Jong-Un, and his predecessors leaves little room for any other religions, and Christians face unimaginable pressure in every sphere of life. Please continue to pray for the 50,000-70,000 Christians imprisoned in North Korea's labor camps.

The 86th Academy Awards are upon us, and Sunday is the big day. However, with the weather in Los Angeles, the parties, and other festivities, the Oscars are in full swing right now. All the stars have aligned for this one moment. Everything has to be perfect, or at least as close to perfect as possible. The ladies are sure of a few things at this current moment – the votes are in, their dates are prepared, and it is all about the dress. That is the first unofficial award granted to the most elegant of them all. Expect to see the female attendees to be fitted in their Sunday best for the Oscars. Often times, people remember what the nominees wore more than who won. Nevertheless, the Oscars is not a fashion show, but is indeed an award show.
This year's show is sure to entertain with such an entertaining, creative, and energetic host as Ellen DeGeneres. There will not be a dull moment due to jokes from Ellen and performances from Pharell Williams, U2, Karen O, and India Menzel, who are the four artists performing the songs that are nominated this year. Outside of the anticipation of who will win each category, this Oscar Sunday also marks another special day. March 2nd is also the 75th anniversary of The Wizard of Oz, and there will be a tribute to the 1939 classic. As if that was not enough excitement for most people, the Oscars will also be streaming live for the first time, which means that viewers will be able to see behind-the-scenes interviews and additional non-televised coverage.
Moving on to the center of attention on this special occasion, which is the nominees. They are of the greatest importance. Many of the nominees have multiple nominations in both minor and major categories. They all hope to take home the hardware, but of course everyone cannot win, which increases the intensity of the competition. However, most of the movie critics have weighed in and made their predictions on each main category. The main categories may be the same each year, but it is still interesting to see who gets those Oscar nods.
Some of the most popular movies among the Academy are 12 years a Slave, American Hustle, and Gravity. Although those are not the only movies with nominations, they are highly favored among most voters. These three films have single-handedly dominated the Oscars this year. The Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, and supporting roles also come from these amazing films. 12 years a Slave is favored to win the Best Picture award. Best Director is anticipated to belong to Alfonso Cuaron for Gravity. Matthew McConaughey is the favorite for Best Actor for his role in The Dallas Buyer's Club, while Cate Blanchett's performance in Blue Jasmine is the critics' choice for Best Actress. Sweetheart Jennifer Lawrence also wowed the critics and is thought to be the front runner for Best Supporting Actress for her role in American Hustle.
After the dust settles and everything is said and done, it is time to move on to the Oscar after-parties. There will not be a shortage of parties for Hollywood's elite to attend. Elton John is throwing his 22ndAIDS Foundation Viewing Party. This Oscars bash is an all-red affair that raises money for his AIDS charity. Another popular party will be The Governor's Ball, which is the official after-party for the Oscars. There is also some fun to be had at the Vanity Affair party, which has the reputation of being the unofficial Oscar after-party. If there is any party left in these A-listers, Madonna has a private annual party at her manager Guy Oseary's mansion. All of these festivities should serve as the perfect cap to an already amazing evening.

The load carrying capacity of a roof rack and its ability to withstand the rigours of 4WD driving is highly dependant upon its design, the mounting system, the choice of materials and quality of finish.
Roof Rack
4WD Systems manufacture an extensive range of steel roof racks to suit most makes and models of 4WD vehicles.
A Systems Roof Rack allows you to carry all the extra gear needed when touring that is either unsuitable or unsafe for the interior of the modern 4WD but without the cost or off-road limitations imposed by towing a trailer.
Designed for load carrying capacity and functionality, all racks are supplied with a heavy duty spare wheel mount. They are optionally available with light and aerial mounts, hi-lifting jack mounts, long handle shovel holders, ladders and a variety of manufactured options suitable for tradesman, dinghy owners and a host of custom options.
Finished in a choice of powdercoat, paint or zinc plate, the Systems roof rack is hard wearing, resists scratching and the galvanised mesh doesn't rust on this wear prone area.
The continuous gutter mounting system is probably the most important design feature of a Systems roof rack. This design allows the weight of a rack to be distributed evenly over the entire length of the gutter as opposed to a few individual points on a conventional rack. Modern 4WD gutters need this support. The uprights are tied together by the contoured continuous gutter strip which results in a more secure attachment system, less prone to vibration, shifting or bending the uprights.
The optional full mesh basket, made from formed tubing, looks good and will not crack even after extended vibration or due to heavy loads because there are no butt welded corners. The mesh is supported by multiple cross members meaning more load can be carried without the mesh sagging on the roof. Two people are easily supported for loading purposes.

He was on time and had the moves down pat. He must've studied movies and videos to get all the mannerisms just right. His price was fair. His voice was amazing and his hair was real!!! I'd hire him again if a party called for an Elvis and I recommend him to everyone. Kate Holmen, WI

Kestenbaum, G. I., & Weinstein, L. (1985). Personality, psychopathology, and developmental issues in male adolescent video game use. Journal of the American Academy of Child Psychiatry, 24 (3), 329-333.
Abstract: Conducted an empirical study of the relationship of heavy video game use in adolescent male Ss to personality and psychopathological factors. Based on the nature of the games and on developmental theory, it was hypothesized that heavy video game use plays a role in managing developmental conflicts, particularly with regard to the discharge of aggression and the open expression of competition, and does not result in increased neuroticism, social withdrawal, or escape into fantasy. Heavy video game users were also hypothesized to have lower frustration tolerance. Questionnaire responses of 76 boys classified as high video users were compared with those of 102 boys classified as low video users. Ss were 11-14 yrs of age. They completed questionnaires assessing demographic information, video game use, personality, extraversion and neuroticism, and acceptance of daydreaming. Results support the hypotheses. Results are discussed in terms of the need for mastery of experiences and in terms of the reawakening of oedipal conflicts in adolescence as described by P. Blos (1965). It is stressed that much of the anxiety about video games represents a parental issue, akin to parental overreactions to other adolescent outlets.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 19, 2013
As local college and high school students were preparing to enjoy their spring break holiday, Agents of the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission were preparing stores and nightclubs in West Texas to prevent alcohol sales to underage customers.
Each year about this time, the TABC performs focused alcohol 'sting operations' throughout the state, specifically along major routes of travel and entertainment districts likely to be frequented by underage kids who might try to purchase alcohol during spring break festivities. Such operations utilize underage volunteers under close supervision of TABC plainclothes Agents to try and purchase alcohol. Strict policy guidelines ensure a very safe and effective means of monitoring alcohol sales. Local TABC licensed businesses are selected by TABC field officers based on their location, violation history, or other risk factors. Once identified, TABC personnel visit each location to warn employees and managers of the potential risk and offer advice and training to reduce the likelihood of improper sales.
In Texas, selling alcohol to a minor (someone under 21 years old) is a Class A Misdemeanor, which can result in a $4000 fine and up to a year in jail for the seller, and a suspension of his or her employer's permit to sell alcohol.
In the weeks leading up to spring break, TABC Agents in Lubbock, Amarillo, Abilene, San Angelo, and Midland/Odessa performed undercover sting operations at over 90 TABC licensed businesses in their respective areas. Before these operations took place, each of the businesses received notice of the increased scrutiny, and education aimed at preventing violations. Of all the locations, only three sold alcohol to TABC volunteer minors.
"Such a high compliance rate, about 97% in this case, is what we strive for" said Captain Mark Menn, TABC's West Texas District Supervisor. "Our goal in such operations is not merely to catch violators, but to prevent and deter such violations in the first place. Numbers in this recent operation seem to bear that out."
The illegal sale of alcohol to minors has always been one of several public safety issues concerning the TABC. "But we have found that our most effective method in encouraging voluntary compliance involves educating our licensed business owners and their employees about illegal sales to minors," said Menn. "It seems to be a much more efficient use of our resources than merely trying to catch violators in the act. There are several ways minors can illegally obtain alcohol, but we hope to minimize the chance that they will be able to purchase from licensed retailers."
For more information, or questions about the TABC or Texas alcohol laws, please contact Captain Mark Menn at the TABC Lubbock District Office (806-793-3221), or Carolyn Beck at TABC Headquarters, Austin (512-206-3347).

How is life as an attending?
● Overall I would say it's pretty good. Has it's ups and downs, but the work is both challenging and fulfilling. Being in charge feels different, but that's not always bad. I work in a place that has a great collaborative atmosphere just like I had in residency and so I'm never afraid to reach out for other opinions or ask for help.
Tell us about your practice!
● I am employed by a hospital owned group. We have a few different locations and multiple suites at my location where doctors in the same group work really well together. Our group as a whole share's patients in order to offer flexibility of scheduling for acute concerns, but we maintain our own panel of patients for routine follow-ups and chronic disease management. Our group includes mid-level providers such as physicians assistance and nurse practitioners. Physician supervise the mid-level providers, but they maintain their own patient panels and work pretty independently. Our entire group is very collaborative and we try to foster in environment where it safe to ask for help or ask questions when were stumped.
What do you do for fun?
● My wife and I and our three daughters live in St. Joseph by Lake Michigan. One of our favorite family things to do is go to the beach and we try to as much as possible. In the other times I enjoy working in the yard, reading, staying as active as much as having three little ones will allow for.
What advice do you have for FM residents or medical students?
● Hang in there! It's a long haul, you can really get you down, it can seem like it's never going to end, but it gets better. Getting my real job after residency was a big relief for some of the financial stress of being a resident and that was helpful. Of course the "after residency" period has its challenges. I have to constantly remind myself why I am here. I have to be intentional about remembering the good patients or the good cases where a positive difference was really made so that the difficult patients or complicated healthcare system situations don't overshadow the good. Remembering the good parts helps me take it day by day. I think it has also been really helpful to work in a place where I am friends with the other providers and staff. It's important to find a place that is fun to work at so that when health care and challenging patients get you down, you still have that to fall back on.
How is life as an attending?
● Life is great! It's nice to finally have consistent hours and a sense of independence. The best part is that you can begin to tailor your practice to make it specific to what you're interested in treating.
Tell us about your practice!
● I'm currently working for WellSpan Health in York, PA as part of a primary care sports medicine practice. As part of this practice, I work in the Orthopedic Urgent Care two days per week and in the Sports Medicine clinic two days per week. I manage a mixture of acute injuries (sprains/strains, fractures, concussions, etc) and chronic ailments (arthritis, gout, etc). In our office, we have x-ray and musculoskeletal ultrasound, which are both used on a daily basis. Lastly, I have not forgotten my roots and continue to utilize OMT as a part of my practice.
What do you do for fun?
● This comes as no surprise to anyone who knows me, but I continue to participate in recreational sports. We have many local venues nearby that offer adult leagues in all the major sports. Additionally, WellSpan Health sponsors other recreational events throughout the year.
What advice do you have for FM residents or medical students?
● As Confucius said, "Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life." I know this sounds extremely cliche, but I use it to make this point: Medical students and FM residents often don't realize how many little niches there are in medicine. It really should be virtually impossible to not find a field you love. Now, it may take lots of searching and networking, but I guarantee there is something out there that will meet your passion. That's the benefit of FM; you can tailor your practice to fit whatever scope of medicine you'd like. In just my few years of residency, I saw graduates starting to build practices specializing in acupuncture, alternative medicine, geriatrics, manipulative medicine, obstetrics, pain management, sports medicine, and the list goes on. Overall, my advice is to figure out what you're passionate about and to make a career of it; no matter how small or specialized that field may seem to be.
How is life as an attending?
● Different from residency, but overall great. Nobody is in training, so it's very different from residency. I have a full practice, and everything is going really well. I sometimes miss sharing cases and bouncing ideas off others. There are other providers but they are not always accessible since they work on opposite days or are busy with their own patients 50-60 feet away.
Tell us about your practice!
● Missouri Baptist Sullivan hospital is around 40 minutes from St Louis. We basically have a multispecialty clinic that includes OBGYN, Pediatrics, FM, 2 Family Medicine nurse practitioners, 2 Internal Medicine docs. Missouri Baptist Sullivan is a critical access hospital with 25 beds; we have wound care as well. The hospital is part of the Barnes Jewish Christian Hospital system.
What do you do for fun?
● FM has more time off for the most part, which is nice. Woodworking and spending time with family.
What advice do you have for FM residents or medical students?
● I've felt this way since residency, that the great thing about Family Medicine is that you can do all parts of medicine, if something interests you, you can do it. My advice is to keep reading because it gets really hard to do once you have your own practice. I still struggle with it now. I still think Family Medicine is the coolest thing for the flexibility it gives you.

Prodded by fears of another crisis in the Balkans, a European diplomatic mission planned to visit Tirana on Friday to keep up pressure on the Albanian Government for a political solution to the violent rebellions in the country's south.
The Europeans' concerns, galvanized by the Mediterranean countries with close geographic and historical ties to Albania, are not only over a possible new wave of Albanian emigration, but also the danger of more sparks flying in a region with a long history of volatility.
So far, the crisis in Albania -- brought on by the collapse of phoney investment schemes and made worse by the Government's rigid political response -- has shown no signs of spilling over the borders of the country of 3.4 million people. But with large Albanian populations in both neighboring Serbia and Macedonia, combined with the presence of a small ethnic Greek minority in southern Albania, there is also the potential that the violence could take on a nationalist tinge.
''In times of crisis, minorities are too often chosen as sacrificial lambs,'' said Greece's deputy foreign minister, George Papandreou, in an interview published Wednesday in Le Monde, expressing his concern about the fate of the estimated 80,000 ethnic Greeks in southern Albania.
Headed by Foreign Minister Hans Van Mierlo of the Netherlands, whose country now holds the European Union's rotating presidency, the European diplomatic delegation stopped today first in Rome and then Athens for consultations.Continue reading the main story
Mr. Van Mierlo, who will be the first senior Western minister to visit Albania since the introduction of state of emergency measures there last weekend, said today he would deliver a ''clear message'' to the Albanian President, Sali Berisha, to open a peaceful dialogue with his opposition.
Diplomats here also expect the European mission to tell Mr. Berisha that he risks losing the aid Albania now receives from Europe and other international organizations if he resorts to force, or authoritarian methods. Albania received $450 million in European aid between 1991 and 1995, making it the biggest aid recipient per capita in formerly Communist eastern Europe.
But some question whether the Europeans have the will or the clout to force Mr. Berisha to agree to the key opposition demand of a government of national reconciliation until new elections can be held.
In an interveiw earlier this week with the Italian newspaper La Repubblica, the Italian Foreign Minister, Lamberto Dini, noted a lack of unanimity in the European Union on the urgency of the Albanian crisis.
''We can not hide the fact that in the union are Nordic countries that look on what is happening in the Balkans with a certain detachment,'' Mr. Dini said. A foreign diplomat here said that the Albanian crisis had fallen victim to a ''Balkan fatigue'' that had settled in the United States as well as Europe.Continue reading the main story

Collins & Corbin hasn't grown at an exponential rate. Nor has it tried to. It's one of the few accounting firms in Jackson whose growth rate has been characterized as that of a tortoise: slow and purposeful but always in the race.
When Wallace Collins and Joe D. Jones, now publisher of the Mississippi Business Journal, were burning the midnight oil at Ernst & Young in the early 1970s, they often talked about starting their own accounting firm. When they did just that in 1976, they decided on the name by the flip of a coin: Jones won. Thus, the firm was known as Jones & Collins. Another flip of the coin determined who got the corner office: Collins won that one.
"That's how easy our partnership was," Collins said, with a chuckle. "Before Joe and I worked together at Ernst & Young, we were old schoolmates at Mississippi College and good friends. Then, when we were at Ernst & Young, Joe specialized in income tax and my emphasis was more on the audit end. When we decided to strike out on our own, we went on faith and hard work."
Of Collins & Corbin's 14 employees, three are partners, nine are professional staffers, two are support personnel and five are CPAs.
"Harold Corbin became a partner in 1984," he said. "Joe left to pursue other business interests in 1985 and the firm name changed to Collins & Corbin. Robbie Barr was added as a partner in 1998."
A significant change in the accounting profession has been a shift away from traditional accounting work, such as audits and tax returns, to more value-added consultant services, like mergers and acquisitions, litigation support, transaction planning, and generally assisting clients in business situations, he said.
"That's a big part of our future here," Collins said. "We're fortunate that we perform about 20% of our work in this area, about double what most accounting firms in Mississippi are doing. That's where everyone's moving in the accounting profession."
The full-service CPA firm offers audit, tax and management consulting services with a broad range of clients in small to medium-size businesses. A significant individual income tax practice includes income tax and estate planning services.
"The most challenging concern is finding an adequate number of qualified personnel," Collins said. "There has been a shortage due to the decline in the number of students electing to pursue a career in public accounting. One factor is that the profession is more demanding now — accountants must have 150 qualified hours to sit for the CPA exam in Mississippi."
Starting salaries for entry level CPAs has increased 15% to 20% and continues to rise at a significant rate annually. That must be reflected in accounting firms' rates, he said.
"The shortage in the accounting labor pool is an issue the CPA industry is studying," Collins said. "We're very concerned about it. One of the reasons for a decline in accounting enrollment is that it is more demanding. A lot of states are requiring 150 hours, which is the equivalent to five years. That's putting more pressure on students."
Collins keeps in contact with professors around the nation who have told him there's an almost 100% placement rate for graduates, he said.
"We're finding that a lot of people, like our own firm, are hiring people right out of the four-year program," Collins said. "Then, they're going back and getting their master's degrees at night to meet that 150-hour requirement."
With the Y2K-related employment winding down, the number of accountants in the job market may increase, he said.
"We'll have to see how the Y2K shakes out," Collins said. "The Y2K demand for computer people probably did draw from our normal pool of accountants. As for our firm, we didn't have any Y2K problems. None of our clients had significant problems. We were very pleased with the outcome. Of course, everyone made efforts to make sure it went smoothly."
Accountants and lawyers often partner in Canadian and European firms, a practice not yet allowed in the U.S. If this practice was acceptable in the U.S., it would be good for consumers, Collins said.
"I don't know how that would impact our profession," he said. "If it comes about, I'm sure it will be for the positive. It will probably increase competition, which is always good for consumers. Some people fuss about competition and times are different now than 30 years ago. Overall, competition is good for the profession. It keeps us working harder."

So for those of you playing along, you'll know I've been working at a large department store for a couple of months now, just casually, mainly weekends, but its enough to give me a break from the house, a few extra dollars and minimal daycare fees. The only real negative is missing out on family time and shitty customers who abuse me because they feel like it. Oh and the same shitty customers are the ones that trash the fitting rooms and spill coffee everywhere but you know, whatever, right? Anyway, yesterday as I took my bag out of my locker at work I heard Santa come in to the staff room. Being Santa, everyone says hi so it's hard for the poor guy to go anywhere without a noisy entrance. If you're not Santa you can walk the corridors and be totally ignored but that's another post about how cliques exist everywhere you go and how frankly, women are each others worst enemies but let's focus. Santa nodded his head at me and said 'hello dear'. . . I smiled and nodded back, spluttering 'hello Santa' like some lovestruck teenage groupie. I felt like I was a child again, or I'd met a celeb and they knew my name - can you imagine?!?! I don't know why it was all warm and fuzzy but it was, and it was lovely to be acknowledged by someone who seemed so, nice. I wasn't there paying to have my childs photo taken as they screamed in his arms, he didn't HAVE to be nice to me, but he was. No wonder he was employed to be Santa. . . .
And then he undressed in front of me. Not naked, don't get me wrong - it ain't that kinda story *wink* but yep, Santa disrobed in front of me and I have to admit I blushed, and then didn't know where to look. He took the scratchy acrylic beard off, his Santa hat, and jacket - right in front of me, while he chatted to me about the weather like it was the most normal thing in the world to do. Next thing I knew, Santa was a normal bloke wearing some funny clothes. Sorry Santa, but I gotta be honest, I felt disturbed. Someone else asked how he was and he said 'bloody hot' with great attitude and gruff. Santa was clearly sweltering in his suit. He then sat and had lunch with a few of us staff.
I know Santa isn't real but there is just something magical about seeing a Santa in real life, especially when they look the part and are being lovely to kids. It's heart warming, tears to the eye, goosebump producing stuff that has gotten more lovey dovey for me since becoming a Mum. Carols; Away In A Manger and Mary's Child bring me to tears everytime. I still believe in Christmas and think of it as a magical time. Santa, to me, has the white beard, the red suit and black boots despite it being hot here, that's how it's always been and that's how it always will be. It's been playing on my mind ever since. I'm pretty confident in saying that the sight of Santa beardless, hatless, jacket and boot less, sitting in his red pants, white socks, overall straps or whatever they're called, and eating a sandwich while bitching about screaming kids and over controlling parents, well it's an image that probably won't ever leave me. Ever.
A little of my Christmas magic died yesterday, and that makes me sad. I hope my kids believe in Santa for as long as possible. . . and I'll do everything in my power to help that happen.
Meanwhile, if Santa in his pants had looked like this fella, well I dare say my after thoughts would have been verrryyyy different

Lisbon is the capital of Portugal. Situated in southwest of Europe, this historic and beautiful city is gaining popularity among tourists. The city is famous for its Buildings, fresh sea food and its unique mix of attractions. With colourful old quarters, café line squares and clattering trams; Lisbon is one of the beautiful cities in Europe. Its cosmopolitan culture is depicted by bustling streets and Grand Squares. The buildings and monuments are symbols of Portuguese Art and Architecture. They also tell you about the history of Portuguese sailors and voyagers. Portugal led the way an exploration by sea during the 15th and 16th century. Lisbon, thus celebrates the Age of discovery by Portuguese explorers.
The best way to get around Lisbon is by its famous Trams. These trams take you all around the city and is great way of sightseeing. The Belem Tower is the symbol of the city of Lisbon. The tower is built on the banks of the Tagus River and it was meant to act as a defense system and a ceremonial gateway to Lisbon. Other attractions include castles, monasteries and museums. The Commerce Square is a popular attraction among tourists. It's a great place to relax and people watch. The Santa Justa Lift is an elevator connecting the upper and lower towns, it is one of best loved landmarks. The Lisbon Cathedral is the oldest church and a must see for all tourists.
The 25th of April Bridge in Lisbon is one of the world's longest suspension bridges. It is a mile and a half long with a statue of Christ watching over Lisbon, from the banks of the Tagus River. Besides, there are some beaches in the outskirts of Lisbon, where you can go after exploring the city. If you are into shopping, there is no better place than Rua Augusta. This bustling shopping street is a popular shopping paradise, especially for visitors. You will find all global brands out here. Watch out for prices here, as it may be slightly expensive as compared to other shopping places.
As Portugal is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean on the West, it has a wide variety of delicious and fresh Sea Food. Lisbon will give you a great experience of Sea Food. Sea food here is world famous and serves to the tastes of people from all around the world. Salmon is something which you should definitely try here. There are also some places a short ferry ride away from Lisbon having special Sea Food Restaurants. It is, thus a paradise for Sea Food lovers. If you are not into Sea Food, don't worry. There are a host of Restaurants providing Asian, American and European cuisines as well. Whatever your taste may be, you will find great restaurants for yourself. If possible, try out traditional Portuguese Food as well.
Being a part of Europe, Lisbon is well connected with Rail and Road from other European countries. Spain is just 3 hour drive from Lisbon. In fact, you can reach Madrid in 6 hours by Road. European Railway, by no doubt is the best option. Travelers from other continents will find many Flights to Lisbon. Portugal doesn't have any famous carrier, so you have to rely on other carriers. Some Airlines which may be considered are United, American Airlines, British Airways, Lufthansa, Finnair, Turkish Airlines and Emirates. We would suggest you to club Lisbon with neighboring countries, if possible. It will give you a great experience.
Happy Travelling…..

text: Nutro Max Roasted Chicken Kitten Food PRODUCT REVIEWS PAGE 1 OF 2 Options Available: 6 lb bag 3 lb bag Shop Nutro Max Roasted Chicken Kitten Food Rated 5 out of 5 by 17 reviewers. Rated 5 out of 5by Hinny Great Product We have feed this to our Siamese cats for years. We just lost our 2 little girls that were 19 1/2 years old. They have always been very healthy cats. Nutro Max is great. 3 New kittens and all on the kitten food. However I can't find large bags which is disappointing as we are going thru 6 lbs in 3-4 Weeks. 01/05/2016Rated 5 out of 5by Kristi Our kitties love nutro max cat! When we first rescued our cats they were about 4 and 6 months old. We weren't sure what food was best so we asked the vet and she suggested Nutro. Coming from a shelter they had a few health issues that needed to be addressed, but this food really helped them develop into healthy cats. Their coats filled in mcharge fuller and are thick and shiny. Now they are thriving cats and are eating the indoor adult nutro! Thank you nutro! 08/10/2015Rated 5 out of 5by ltitwlbe Unclear about how much to feed kitten at 8 months As she goes from 8-16 weeks, I am to feed her 1/3 cup per day? That's less than at 6 weeks. Also, how many times to I administer the 1/3 cup? The bag indicates per day! My cat would starve getting 1/3 a cup per day no? I'm new at this so please any advice would help. 08/07/2014Rated 5 out of 5by Skip Nutro max kitten food I haven a kitten named skipper that we rescued I switched from hills science diet to nutro max kitten and kitten skipper loves this food and has a nice shiny coat so I recommend this food ok bye 07/13/2014Rated 5 out of 5by catman7 Max Cat Kitten Food Excellence We have raised our kittens on Max Cat Dry Kitten food exclusively and they have grown up to be beautiful, healthy, playful actively curious cats. They always eat all of the food we put out, never turn away from it. They love this food and as pet owners we love it and recommend it. 05/14/2014Rated 4 out of 5by KittyFosterMom Healthy and Flavorful As a certified veterinary technician, I know how important it is to feed pets high-quality food and Max Cat is one of the best. My cats love the taste, their coats are shiny, and they do not soil the litter pan as much as they would on other foods. The only thing I would change about the kitten formula is the size of the pieces. Little ones have a hard time getting those large bits into their mouths. I foster abandoned kittens and feed them Fromme until they are old enough to eat the larger sized pieces of Nutro because I really don't have time to crush the Nutro in a sandwich bag with a mallet. 03/12/2013Rated 5 out of 5by petlover09 Kittens Love It After getting my kitten back in May, I wanted to make sure we got a healthy food for him to eat. After reading online recommendations, I decided to go with this food (& the equivalent for our dog.) They both love it and we havent had any issues. We recently got a second kitten & he love the food as well & no issues thus far. 01/18/2013Rated 5 out of 5by Kittens in the Kitchen Kittens in the Kitchen We have four kittens and one adult cat in our home. They LOOOOVE the kitten roasted chicken flavor food!! We used to keep the biggest bag we could buy of it on the kitchen counter, but when we are not home, the kittens will push the bag off the counter and spill it on the floor to eat it!! As a solution, we bought those cereal plastic containers and put the cat food in there, but my little brother recently mistook it for cereal and ATE IT! I think he liked it too! :P Our kittens (and brother) are growing strong from the real protein!! :D On a side note, this brand is a little pricier but because it has more real protein, it fills them up quicker and they eat less of it to get full (which is a must have with five cats!!) Great addition to the wet food! 03/18/2011Rated 5 out of 5by Coonhusker The only food our kittens start on! I have been breeding and showing Maine Coons for 22 years. I start my kittens on Max Cat Kitten and have never experienced digestive issues as they transition from mother's milk to dry food. They gain well, have bright eyes and great coats. All the kittens are sent to their new homes with a bag of Max Kitten and instructions to continue them on Nutro Max products for their lifetime for happy, healthy kittens and cats! 03/13/2011Rated 5 out of 5by kreativ1 my girls have the most gorgeous coats! I've been a long time user of Nutro foods, but it had been a long time since I'd had any need for the kitten version until earlier this year when I fostered then adopted Bookay and Lilybear (sisters). They love their crunchy food, and I've never seen such gorgeous gleaming coats. We also love the 'wet' kitten food as a daily treat! Thanks, Nutro. 03/13/2011Rated 5 out of 5by chriscleo helped my sick kitty my senior cat Cleo was on a reduced carb diet because of diabetes but got lymphoma a few years after her diabetes diagnosis. at many points she got extreme nausea and had food aversion because of the lymphoma. max kitten kept her going for over a year because mixing it with her low carb dried food got her to eat. cleo has passed on, but whenever my other pets aren't feeling well and are fussy about food I offer them max kitten as a special treat and it always gets them to eat (they're all on low carb diets because of cleo's experience). thank you so much for such a tasty meal. (cleo was a maine coon, age 17, but somehow that breed doesn't appear in your list. i have 2 wegie cats, so i chose that breed instead. didn't see an "other" option as to breed) 03/12/2011Rated 5 out of 5by Five Furries Feeding Freenzie My Five Furry Friends all love their Max Cat food --- along with the four furry ferals outside. Its like a feeding freenzie when I come home from work. They are all rubbing up against the tall food canister - worshiping it- meowing to me to get it open and feed them. I know the food must be good for them because when I switched them over to it from Friskies - their fur got so silky and smooth. I mean it... before their fur was all dry and corse feeling. They also like the Nutro canned wet food. I would recommend making the switch for your cat too. 03/11/2011 Page 1 of 2 1 2

The Even More Complete Chess Addict
The largest section in the book is taken up with a survey of famous chess players, grouped under these headings: The Royals, The Holy, The Sinners, The Musicians, The Artists, The Writers, The Entertainers, The Sportsmen, The Thinkers, The Politicians, The Soldiers, The Aristocrats, The Businessmen, The Rest.
Subsequent sections are:
The Greatest: the 64 strongest players, the 64 greatest games, etc.
The Frightful: worst games and performances at tournaments, including a game in which a player lost three pieces in 1-1/2 moves.
The Unorthodox: fantasy chess variations. Reverso is one example, in which the opening positions of knights and bishops are reversed. "All opening theory goes out the window. Try it against your club theoretician and watch him flounder!"
The Unacceptable: bad behaviour at the board, including games that turned violent.
The Awesome mentions a number of records, including:
- longest announced mate - 45 moves
- longest series of mutual captures - 13
- longest sequence of successive checks - 43
- longest sequence of moves without a capture - 100
The Bizarre: chess-playing animals, strange openings, and other oddities (eg Bobby Fischer and Barbra Streisand were classmates in Brooklyn).
Desert Island Chess: puzzles and problems.
The final two sections are the most dated, but still fun to read: The Future describes up-and-coming possible greats, and The End? talks about the influence of computer chess programs.
In all, 369 pages of trivia that range from the magnificent to the loony. A very entertaining read.
