5,000 items with faked logos confiscated
By the A.M. Costa Rica staff
Judicial police have confiscated some 5,000 items on which popular logos were counterfeited, they said. The agents took over a store near the Mercado Borbón Wednesday. The items confiscated ranged from shirts to billfolds and athletic bags.
The Judicial Investigating Organization said it has received several complaints about such items being sold at various commercial centers in the Central Valley.
Falsifying a logo or trademark is a violation of the intellectual property laws.
Agents said that they also confiscated three devices that were used to imprint the logo on clothing and other items. They also said they had tracked the items with the falsified logos from Alajuela as merchants moved them about.
Three children die in fire at their home

Fire fighters said that three children died when flames ravaged their home in Tambor de Alajuala shortly before 8 a.m. Wednesday.
Neighbors could not save the three, who were 2, 3 and 5 years, because the home was locked securely.
A grandmother had left the home briefly to put another child on a school bus a short distance away.
Although the Cuerpo de Bomberos said the home was only damaged partially, the children perished due to the smoke.

|Judicial police try to stem growing number of bank messenger
By the A.M. Costa Rica staff
For two days in a row bandits stuck up messengers and relieved them of the money they were carrying from a bank.
The Judicial Investigating Organization said that it was in contact with other police agencies Wednesday to develop a plan to stop this type of crimes.
The stickups of the messengers are the most visible of a continuing wave of stickups that can be seen with the recent arrests in more than a half dozen cases by Fuerza Pública officers.
The most recent messenger stickup was just before 9 a.m. Wednesday in Pavas. A messenger had just left a bank with 12 million colons, about $22,000. Some 600 meters from the bank, the 35-year-old messenger was confronted by crooks on a motorcycle who took the money.
The Tuesday robbery was in the center of San José when a messenger was carrying some 10 million colons, about $18,300, from a bank to a hotel.
|The messenger was
on a motorcycle, and bandits, also on a motorcycle,
pulled up alongside and, according to judicial agents, used great
violence to grab the bag.
The Fuerza Pública detained three suspects in the robberies of two individuals just 100 meters from the U.S. Embassy in Pavas. That was Tuesday night. The crooks were in a vehicle, and the victims were pedestrians.
In Campo Bello de Ulloa in Heredia the Fuerza Pública detained three persons who are accused of entering a store and taking 40,000 ($83.50) at gunpoint and then robbing a nearby lottery vendor, they said. The suspects were in a vehicle when police caught up with them. A .38 caliber pistol was confiscated.
Banks have a lot of rules to prevent the robbery of their customers. Most bans prohibit the use of cell telephones inside the building because someone on a phone could be giving information to crooks outside. Inmost cases, there has been inside information given to the crooks, such as the day of the week when payroll will be handled. There also have been a few cases when the messenger was part of the scheme.

jobs today
By the A.M. Costa Rica staff
Striking Limón dock workers were supposed to return to their jobs today after an agreement was struck during negotiations mediated by Monserrat Solano Carboni, the defensora de los habitantes.
The union rapidly was losing support, and even the Frente Amplio political party had called for workers to return to the job.
officials met with representatives of striking dock workers Wednesday.
The strike already has been declared illegal by a labor court. The government is declining to negotiate a key clause in a contract for a new $1 billion container facility that is the main reason for the strike.
Union leaders were dealing with an increasingly anxious rank-and-file that had missed a payday.

|World Health considers the challenge of many more senior
By the A.M. Costa Rica wire services
The World Health Organization says governments must prepare now to deal with an increasingly aging world. Otherwise, it warns the growing burden of chronic disease will seriously affect the quality of life of older people and create economic and other hardships for national health systems. These findings appear in a new series on health and aging published in the British journal, The Lancet.
Everywhere in the world people are living longer. But as people age, they are saddled with chronic illnesses and diminished well being that affects their quality of life and creates a burden on society.
The latest statistics show by 2050, an estimated two billion people will be aged 60 and older, more than double the 841 million today.
The World Health Organization notes 80 percent of these older people will be living in low- and middle-income countries, not in wealthy countries.
It says the increase in longevity in affluent countries is largely due to the decline in deaths from cardiovascular disease resulting from simple, cost-effective strategies to reduce tobacco use and high blood pressure.
Islene Araujo is a senior policy and strategy adviser in the Department of Aging and Life Course for the agency. She says life expectancy in Africa now is 60 years. She says cardiovascular diseases are responsible for killing most older people.
She says stroke survivors often become disabled, burdening society. "Cardiovascular disease can be prevented with one simple
|action, for
example control of hypertension. Most of the people in this
region in
Africa - 10 percent may have a diagnosis of hypertension, like for
example South Africa, and 80 percent do not get treatment for
hypertension. So, one single intervention like treatment for
hypertension can save many lives. It can also avoid disability,"
Ms. Araujo.
Besides heart disease and stroke, other major illnesses of aging include cancers, chronic lung disease, sensory disorders, vision problems, mental and neurological disorders. Authors of the World Health reports say dementia and Alzheimer's are the biggest cause of dependency in richer countries. Although people are living longer, evidence shows they are not necessarily healthier than before.
Report author Somnath Chatterji said there are low-cost strategies that can help older people live healthier lives. For example, he says reducing salt intake can have a big impact on health.
"Secondly, the early detection of illnesses. You know, we need to train primary care workers to be able to identify things like hypertension, for example again relatively early, diabetes relatively early and treat those conditions before they become much more expensive to treat. Thirdly, there are strategies to extend these health care services using current technologies. So, one could use mobile technologies to actually improve the delivery of these services," said Chatterji.
The report's authors suggest changing policies to encourage older adults to remain part of the workforce beyond retirement age. They also say people of all ages should not smoke, do more physical activity, moderate alcohol consumption and practice good nutrition, which will pay good health dividends later in life.

|Obama promises to find
common ground with GOP
By the A.M. Costa Rica wire services
A day after his Democratic Party was trounced in midterm elections, President Barack Obama vowed to work with the new Republican majority in Congress to ensure a prosperous future for Americans.
Conceding that Republicans had a good night, winning a 52-seat majority in the Senate, Obama struck a measured tone, saying Americans had sent a clear message with their vote.
"They expect the people they elect to work as hard as they do," he said. "They expect us to focus on their ambitions and not ours. They want us to get the job done. All of us in both parties have a responsibility to address that sentiment."
At a White House news conference, the president cited areas of possible common ground with Republicans, such as building infrastructure and boosting exports. He said he would meet with Republican congressional leaders Friday to get a sense of their agenda.
Obama said that in the next few weeks, he hoped to work with lawmakers on boosting funding for those on the front lines of the ebola fight in West Africa and getting congressional authorization for the use of military force in the battle against Islamic State militants.
"The world needs to know we are united behind this effort, and the men and women of our military deserve our clear and unified support," he said.
One area where Obama stood firm was immigration. He said he had hoped Congress would pass comprehensive reform that would strengthen the borders, improve the U.S. economy and give opportunity to those who are undocumented.
But in the absence of such congressional action, Obama said he was prepared to act on his own and use his executive authority on immigration before the end of the year.
"What I am not going to do is just wait," he said. "I think it is fair to say that I have shown a lot of patience and have tried to work on a bipartisan basis as much as possible, and I am planning to keep on doing so. But in the meantime, let us figure out what we can do lawfully through executive action to improve the functioning of the existing system."
Throughout the press briefing, which lasted more than an hour, Obama deflected questions about whether he is a lame-duck president and how it feels to be rejected by members of his own party who distanced themselves from him during the midterm campaign.
Instead, Obama said he was optimistic about America's future and planned to spend his last two years continuing to work hard for the American people.
Meanwhile, the presumptive Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, said he would work with Obama to win approval on international trade pacts and tax reform, and said they agreed in a telephone call to look for issues where they could reach accord.
McConnell said one message of the election was that a politically divided government need not result in continued gridlock in Washington.
"There are a lot of people who believe that just because you have divided government does not mean you do not accomplish anything," he said.
Democrats held 55 of the Senate's 100 seats before Tuesday's congressional elections, but Republicans gained at least seven seats with wins in Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa, Montana, North Carolina, South Dakota and West Virginia. Three races were still undecided Wednesday.
Republicans also added at least 14 seats in the 435-member House, where they already held 233 seats. The majority will be the Republicans' biggest since the 1940s.
The results were a stinging rebuff to Obama, who was not on the ballot but said that his policies were.
House Speaker John Boehner said the new Congress would work on energy and jobs legislation that he said Senate Democrats had been stalling while in control. He said it was time for government to start getting results.
With control of Congress, McConnell said Republicans would continue to address disputes with Obama over his signature legislative achievement, health care reform. Many Republicans view the law as excessive government involvement and have repeatedly called for its repeal.
Voters seem to be drawn
to a pretty faced candidate
By the A.M. Costa Rica wire services
Political pundits say the Republican sweep in Tuesdays elections was about voters looking for change. New research suggests the winning candidates' success may have a bit to do with voters looking at their faces.
There's lots of scientific and anecdotal evidence that voters are more drawn to attractive candidates.
If you are old enough to remember the 1960 U.S. presidential election, it was believed John F. Kennedy's youthful appearance and vigor swept him into office over Richard Nixon, who appeared sallow and pale in a television debate.
A new study from the Netherlands further breaks down the attractiveness component into facial features that suggest extremes of health and intelligence.
Then, researchers used a computer program to digitally alter the faces of a group of men. Each participant was shown a pair of photos featuring the same man, but the images had been slightly manipulated to have a more or less healthy complexion, or to look more or less intelligent.
The 148 male and female participants were told they had to pick the new head of a company just by looking at the photos.
Brian Spisak is a business and economics professor at VU University in Amsterdam.
"Ultimately we found that in certain situations, people prefer intelligent-looking faces. But across all situations that we tested, people preferred healthy-looking individuals," said Spisak.
In 69 percent of the trials, the participants chose the the candidate who looked healthier. Spisak says they were perceived as more trustworthy, ambitious, likable and more like a leader.
But when people were told that the executive they were selecting was going to have to oversee a competitive or challenging corporate environment, they tended to choose the man they considered more intelligent.
Spisak says in general terms, the more intelligent face is perceived as more masculine.
But Spisak also says context is everything, and if a candidate wants to run on change like President Barack Obama did in 2008, he better look the part.
Researchers at that time experimented with a generic face they created.
"What we find is younger faces are preferred for times of change. And we found that not using Obama's face, just using a controlled face that we made up, and then morphing a bit of Obama's face on to a base face and a bit of McCain's face on to a base face, what we continually found there that in times of change, they prefer the younger candidate," said Spisak.
Spisak says his research shows it pays for aspiring leaders to look healthy.
The findings are reported in the open-access journal Frontiers in Human Neuroscience.
More money being sought
for fighting ebola virus
By the A.M. Costa Rica wire services
President Barack Obama has asked Congress for $6.18 billion in emergency funds to combat ebola in West Africa and to secure the United States against any spread of the virus.
The request coincided with a report released Wednesday by the World Health Organization, indicating fewer new ebola cases this week in Liberia, about the same number as last week in Guinea and an increase in Sierra Leone.
The World Bank, in coordination with the United Nations, said it was mobilizing about $1 billion for the three countries, which have been hit hardest by the ebola outbreak. That financial aid is meant to help speed up the deployment of foreign health workers in those countries.
World Bank President Jim Yong Kim said the ebola outbreak "is a humanitarian crisis first and foremost, but it's also an economic disaster for Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. That's why, in addition to our emergency aid, we will do all we can to help support the private sector in these countries to build back their businesses."
In response to the Obama administration's request to Congress for ebola funds, a spokesman for House Republican leader John Boehner said congressional staffers would review the appropriation request.
According to an official at the White House's Office of Management and Budget, the administration wants lawmakers to provide $4.5 billion for an immediate response to the deadly disease and another $1.5 billion in contingency money.
Famed rock band drummer
faces murder plot charge
By the A.M. Costa Rica wire services
The drummer for the legendary rock band AC/DC has been charged by New Zealand authorities with hiring a hitman as part of an alleged murder plot.
Phil Rudd appeared before a court in Tauranga, about 200 kilometers southeast of Auckland, Thursday and entered no plea before being released on bail.
The 60-year-old was charged with attempting to procure murder, which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison. He was also charged with threatening to kill and possessing methamphetamine and marijuana.
Local media report Rudd was trying to hire a hitman to kill two men whose identities have not been disclosed. Police have not commented on the alleged murder plot.
The Australia-born Rudd, who now lives in New Zealand, left AC/DC in 1983, but rejoined the band in 1994.
AC/DC is one of the highest-grossing bands of all time, with hit songs that include "Back in Black," "Thunderstruck," and "You Shook Me All Night Long."
The band is due to release a new album, titled "Rock or Bust" next month.
Earlier this year, the band announced that rhythm guitarist and founding member Malcom Young was leaving the group. His family said Young, 61, was suffering from dementia.
At least 44 arrests made
in Pakistani lynching case
By the A.M. Costa Rica wire services
Police in Pakistan have arrested at least 44 people in connection with Tuesday's killing of a Christian couple accused of desecrating a Quran.
The killings took place in Kot Radha Kishan, about 60 kilometers southwest of Lahore. Police said a man and his wife were beaten to death by an angry mob, and their bodies were burned at the brick kiln where they worked.
Police said a local cleric announced through the loudspeakers of his mosque that the couple had committed blasphemy, sparking the mob.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif called the killings an unacceptable crime that a responsible state could not tolerate.
The couple reportedly were bonded laborers and had been working to pay off their debt to the kiln owner.
Hundreds of Pakistani Christians and human rights activists demonstrated in Lahore against the killings, accusing authorities of failing to protect minorities.
Amnesty International has condemned what it calls a climate of impunity around violence against religious minorities in Muslim-majority Pakistan.
Forbes names Russia's Putin
most powerful world figure
By the A.M. Costa Rica wire services
For the second year in a row, the U.S. business magazine Forbes has named Russian President Vladimir Putin the most powerful person in the world.
The magazine said its editors picked the Russian leader over President Barack Obama, with Chinese President Xi Jinping, Pope Francis and German Chancellor Angela Merkel rounding out the top five.
Forbes said it picked Putin because "he strong-armed his way into possession of Crimea and waged an ugly proxy war in neighboring Ukraine, during which an almost certainly Russian-supplied surface-to-air missile downed a civilian jetliner."
The magazine said that "as the undisputed, unpredictable and unaccountable head of an energy-rich, nuclear-tipped state, no one would ever call him weak."

One of the many adverse effects of global climate change is the rise of sea levels, which scientists say can increase the salinity level of fresh water reserves. As saline water cannot be used for irrigation, farm fields close to the seashore are lost to agriculture. But a farm in Netherlands has managed to grow healthy and tasty vegetables in soil irrigated with salt water.
Salinization is reducing the world's irrigated lands by 1 to 2 percent annually, according to the U.N.'s Food and Agriculture Organization.
But that doesn't faze Dutch farmer Marc Van Rijsselberghe, who has used saline water to kill some plants in order to identify which ones are able to thrive.
"We put a lot of plants in the field and then we put them in fresh water and in sea water and all varieties between it, and then we see which variety is surviving and which variety is dying," he said.
Working with scientists from the Free University of Amsterdam, Van Rijsselberghe and his team divided a farm into eight plots covered with a network of irrigation pipes.
Separate pipes bring fresh water and sea water to a distribution center where a computer-controlled system mixes irrigation water with eight different degrees of salinity.
"And then computer says 'go' and then it goes to the fields and dripping irrigation starts to work and we are going to kill plants. That's it," said Van Rijsselberghe.
Numerous sensors continuously control soil salinity and moisture. Van Rijsselberghe said they were able to harvest vegetables from most of the test plots. Although they were smaller than normal, he said they contain more sugar and salt, so they taste better.
"It's a miracle. It shouldn't be a carrot, it should be dying if we look at the data that are available in the world at the moment," he said.
The farm managed to grow carrots, cabbage, onions and beetroot, but potatoes proved to be the most tolerant to saline water. Van Rijsselberghe said four varieties of salt-tolerant potatoes recently were shipped to Pakistan where thousands of hectares of land damaged by salinization are being prepared for testing the Dutch potatoes.

Accountants say Christmas bonus is complex
By the A.M. Costa Rica staff
The public accountants organization says that figuring the Christmas bonus for an employee can be complex.
Guillermo Smith, president of the Colegio de Contadores Públicos, issued the reminder Wednesday and said that a stiff monthly fine awaits employers who fail to pay the aguinaldo.
The amount is normally one twelfth of what the employee earns in the 12 months preceding Dec. 1, but certain situations such as sick leave, can create confusion.
In addition, live-in maids who also receive food should be paid based on 50 percent of the value they received, said the organization in a release.
Commissions and extra pay also should be figured in computing the aguinaldo, it said. Sick leave is not included unless the leave is for maternity, it noted.
The monthly fine is based on 399,800 colons or about $740. Employers can face as many as 21 times that amount, the organization noted.

Cal Men's Golf Has Best Pac-10 Finish Since 2000
April 30, 2008
FAIRFAX, Calif. - Junior George Gandranata led the California men's golf team to its best Pac-10 Championship finish in eight years as the Golden Bears earned third place at the league championship on Wednesday at the Meadow Club. However, the tournament team and individual championships were both decided by playoffs.
USC and Arizona State were tied at 1435 (+15) after 72 holes; the Sun Devils emerged victorious after a one-hole playoff, 23-21. Cal took third place with a 1438 (+18), followed closely by UCLA (1439, +19) and Stanford (1444, +24).
The individual championship for the event came down to a playoff, with Arizona's Creighton Honeck defeating UCLA's Kevin Chappell in a one-hole playoff, 4-3.
'It was not only exciting, but historic, the first time the Pac-10 Championship has had a team and an individual playoff,' Cal head coach Steve Desimone said. 'The combination of the golf course and the conditions made for a great event and brought a lot of the teams together. We had some of the top teams in the country and the quality teams rose to the top. Our goal was to be in position last night to play for championship and we were. We were very close; I'm disappointed, but very proud of the kids, they played their hearts out.'
Gandranata was Cal's top individual finisher with a four-round score of 283 (-1), an average of 70.7, to tie for third place. The junior connected on a 73 in Wednesday's final round and finished the event with 12 birdies.
Sophomore Evan Derian and freshman Stephen Hale matched each other for Cal's best round of the final day, both shooting 69's. Derian finished the event tied for sixth place with an even-par 284, including 16 birdies and an eagle. Hale tied for 18th with a 289 (+5) while playing in his first collegiate postseason event.
'As it's been all spring, we had contributions across the lineup,' Desimone said. 'If you look at our overall results, we had great balance and that's what really good teams do. These guys are competitors.'
A pleasant surprise for the Golden Bears was Andrey Mindirgasov, who shot a 295 (+11) to tie for 35th. The sophomore had played in just two events this spring as most competitions are of the five-count-four format (five players compete with the top four scores counting). The Pac-10 Championship is six-count-five.
'Andrey was in the lineup in the fall,' Desimone said. ''He struggled with some swing issues, but has really straightened himself out. We needed his contributions and he came up real big.'
Mindirgasov was tied with Cal senior Brandon Beck for 35th place with a 295. Freshman Eric Mina rounded out the scoring for the Bears with a 297 (+13).
'We thought this team would improve as season wore on,' Desimone said. 'We had a tremendous spring; if you look at the finishes, it's the best set of finishes since 1993. I think the most impressive thing to me is the fact that in every tournament this spring, we never lost ground in the final rounds. It tells you the guys play some great golf under pressure.'
Cal had three players collect all-conference honors - Hale earned second team recognition while Gandranata and Derian were both honorable mention selections.
'It's very exciting to get three players honored,' Desimone said. 'It's even more exciting because all three will be back for next year. We have a lot to build on. It's a very deserving honor for all three.'
'Now that the event is over and we take an overview, it's very clear that we had phenomenal support from the Meadow Club,' Desimone said. 'I want to thank the pro shot staff, Jim O'Neill, the general manager, the food and beverage staff; everything worked like clockwork. We also want to give a pat on the back to the Northern California Golf Association. It made for a great partnership, the Meadow Club, the NCGA and Cal Golf. And lastly, I want to thank our departmental staff, because this event could not have been as successful without their great work. Put it all together and we wound up with a historic tournament that ran like clockwork.'

Oxford is set to echo with the sound of classical music as hundreds of singers prepare to join a mass choir on Sunday.
Conductor Ivor Setterfield, who took the Blackbird Leys Choir to the Royal Albert Hall for a television series, is bringing singers and choristers from across the area together for a community rendition of Handel's Hallelujah Chorus.
Up to 700 people are expected to fill the Town Hall, in St Aldate's, for the event, called Oxford Sings.
The performance will be broadcast on BBC Radio Oxford and filmed for a forthcoming Channel Five TV programme, The Singing Estate One Year On, which will follow the lives of the stars from the Blackbird Leys Choir since they appeared on the nation's TV screens.
Many of the singers, who are still performing together and were recently invited to a reception at Buckingham Palace with the Queen, are expected to take part in Sunday's event.
Mr Setterfield said: "The Singing Estate brought classical music to a wider audience, both to the people who enjoyed the choir and those who watched the prog- ramme.
"Perhaps people thought classical music wasn't for them, but got the chance to see it isn't too far away and it could be part of their lives.
"I'm hoping singers will learn from the experience of the Blackbird Leys Choir and send the message out that this is what you can get from singing.
"I want to make the whole of Oxford sing on Sunday."
The event is open to anyone in the Oxford area and previous experience of singing is not necessary.
To take part, you must attend the rehearsals at the County Music Service headquarters, at Bayards Hill School, in Waynflete Road, Barton, from 9.30am. The performance starts at 2.30pm. Call Tim Hancock on 0207 502 5858 or email email@example.com Mr Setterfield added: "I won't say I'm worried. I was asked the same question when I took on the Blackbird Leys project and I'm confident that I can help people learn how to sing in that one day, but I'm relying on everybody pulling out the stops.
"I'm very excited about the project.
"It will be an interesting challenge, because I don't know how many people will turn up."
Mr Setterfield spent three months with residents in Blackbird Leys, turning them into a classical choir.
Sunday's event is part of the Fivearts Cities project, taking place in Oxford over a period of 12 months.

Now she speaks rapidly. "Do you know *why* you want to program?"
He shakes his head. He hasn't the faintest idea.
"For the sheer *joy* of programming!" she cries triumphantly. "The joy of the parent, the artist, the craftsman. "You take a program, born weak and impotent as a dimly-realized solution. You nurture the program and guide it down the right path, building, watching it grow ever stronger. Sometimes you paint with tiny strokes, a keystroke added here, a keystroke changed there." She sweeps her arm in a wide arc. "And other times you savage whole *blocks* of code, ripping out the program's very *essence*, then beginning anew. But always building, creating, filling the program with your own personal stamp, your own quirks and nuances. Watching the program grow stronger, patching it when it crashes, until finally it can stand alone -- proud, powerful, and perfect. This is the programmer's finest hour!"
Softly at first, then louder, he hears the strains of a Sousa march.
"This ... this is your canvas! your clay! Go forth and create a masterwork!"
Last yeer I kudn't spel Engineer. Now I are won.
A hacker does for love what others would not do for money.

There are three possible parts to a date, of which at least two must be offered: entertainment, food, and affection. It is customary to begin a series of dates with a great deal of entertainment, a moderate amount of food, and the merest suggestion of affection. As the amount of affection increases, the entertainment can be reduced proportionately. When the affection IS the entertainment, we no longer call it dating. Under no circumstances can the food be omitted.

REPORTER: Senator, are you for or against the MX missile system?
SENATOR: Bob, the MX missile system reminds me of an old saying that the country folk in my state like to say. It goes like this: "You can carry a pig for six miles, but if you set it down it might run away." I have no idea why the country folk say this. Maybe there's some kind of chemical pollutant in their drinking water. That is why I pledge to do all that I can to protect the environment of this great nation of ours, and put prayer back in the schools, where it belongs. What we need is jobs, not empty promises. I realize I'm risking my political career be being so outspoken on a sensitive issue such as the MX, but that's just the kind of straight-talking honest person I am, and I can't help it.

Once there lived a village of creatures along the bottom of a great crystal river. Each creature in its own manner clung tightly to the twigs and rocks of the river bottom, for clinging was their way of life, and resisting the current what each had learned from birth. But one creature said at last, "I trust that the current knows where it is going. I shall let go, and let it take me where it will. Clinging, I shall die of boredom."
The other creatures laughed and said, "Fool! Let go, and that current you worship will throw you tumbled and smashed across the rocks, and you will die quicker than boredom!"
But the one heeded them not, and taking a breath did let go, and at once was tumbled and smashed by the current across the rocks. Yet, in time, as the creature refused to cling again, the current lifted him free from the bottom, and he was bruised and hurt no more.
And the creatures downstream, to whom he was a stranger, cried, "See a miracle! A creature like ourselves, yet he flies! See the Messiah, come to save us all!" And the one carried in the current said, "I am no more Messiah than you. The river delight to lift us free, if only we dare let go. Our true work is this voyage, this adventure.
But they cried the more, "Saviour!" all the while clinging to the rocks, making legends of a Saviour.

"For with God nothing is ever impossible and no word from God shall be without power or impossible of fulfillment." (Luke 1:37, AMP).
Demystifying the impossible and making it attainable in the realm of men is the speciality of God. The miraculous is His natural habitat. God dwells in it, it is His natural state of mind. Therefore any man who God is with should have miraculous experiences. Because with God, nothing is impossible.
The good news is that God is with you. So nothing, whether existing or non-existing is impossible for you to achieve and have. The presence of the Holy Spirit in you is a confirmation of God being with you. The miraculous therefore is a right you have in Christ. What have you been asking God for? What is that situation that seems impossible? What is that desire you thought would come through before this year runs out? God is saying it is still possible. God is asking, "Can you hold on to me and believe that all things are possible?"
One thing I know about God and His word is that He never fails. Whatever He has told you will surely come to pass. He will hasten His word to perform it. That's where the secret lies- His Word.
I encourage you to hold on to God concerning your desires and what He has said to you. You are blessed beyond measure. Grace for the miraculous is released to you today. The impossible is possible to you. The supernatural is natural to you in the name of Jesus. Great day my friend. #BeInspired.

A visa for Pakistan is sadly not as straightforward as you would hope for. Unless you're from countries like Djibouti, Comoros or Maldives where you can just show up at the airport and get it upon arrival, it can be quite the process.
So what about most countries in the world? It varies per country, but this step by step guide gives you a pretty common overview for getting your Pakistani visa.
This step by step guide gives you a pretty common overview for getting your Pakistani visa.
Step 1: Prepare
- In order to get a Pakistani visa, most people need to provide a letter from any registered tourist organization in Pakistan (also known as the Sponsorship letter). You'll also then need a Copy of the sponsor's Computerised National Identity Card (CNIC). Fear not, YPT will help you out with this when you come on a tour with us!
- Talk to your boss and ask for a letter of employment which states that you work for them. If you are self-employed, get a copy of the official registration of your company. If you're a student; get a copy of your registration at uni.
- Fill in the Pakistan visa application form.
- Get yourself 2 passport photos (don't smile!)
- Make 2 copies of the first page of your passport (including any previous Pakistani visas)
- Print a bank statement of the last month.
Step 2: Action
- Find the nearest Pakistan embassy
- Plan your visit (or use a visa agency)
- Apply
- Wait for it… (mostly a couple of days)
- Pick it up – you're ready to go!

An attempted armed robbery on an off-licence was foiled after raiders targeted a shop run by a former Kurdish special forces soldier.
Dramatic CCTV footage showed the moment storekeeper Shikha Mahsum blasted a gunman in the face with an animal repellent spray.
The fearless shop owner described hearing the attacker's gun "click" but failing to fire as he faced down the raider. The man had burst into the store just before midnight on January 9 armed with a handgun.
He first pointed the weapon at the head of another staff member before waving it in Mr Mahsum's face, over the shop counter.
But the quick-thinking shopkeeper, who took two bullets fighting Saddam Hussain's troops in Iraq, grabbed the spray from under the counter.
Weapons-trained Mr Mahsum then blasted the gunman directly in the face, before chasing the would-be robber out the door of the Kobani off-licence in Walsall, West Midlands.
The store was named for the six-month siege of Kobani in northern Iraq, when Kurdish fighters backed by air strikes defeated a large Islamic State force.
Asked if the robber had picked the wrong shop, 39-year-old Mr Mahsum replied: "100%, yes.
"100% the wrong shop.
He went on: "Kurdish shop? A million times, the wrong place."
Describing the incident, he added: "I said 'Get out - don't do a stupid thing'.
"He turned the gun on my face, and said 'Give me the money'.
"I went mad, I had my head down under the counter, looking for a hammer, or anything, and straight away I see the dog spray.
"I use it, and chase him. He was like a little child, running off and going out. That's it."
Mr Mahsum explained that as a Kurdish peshmerga he had been taught to handle an AK47 from the age of 11 and was used to being shot at.
He moved to the UK 16 years ago, having been shot by Saddam's forces in Iraq.

Apart from licensed, the lender should be reliable and trustworthy. You may visit their website and read customer reviews. You can also consult your friends or family.
Hidden Costs
Find a licensed money lender that is honest about all costs is crucial for the application process. Many companies cannot begin by saying that every single cost throughout the process, which means that you can become the victim of having to pay more than you originally planned. To fight against this, these experts ensure that there are no hidden charges in their loans.
Type of Loan

State police armed with questions stopped motorists Saturday night in Willimantic, while family and friends of Alyssiah Wiley spent the day on foot passing out flyers in Ansonia and Bridgeport.
This was all done with one goal in mind: to find the 20-year old Wiley who has been missing for two weeks.
All of this comes days after authorities and Wiley's family pleaded for the public's help in finding her at a news conference Thursday morning.
Wiley is 5-foot-6 and weighs around 150 pounds. She has black hair and brown eyes.
Wiley lives in a dorm on the ECSU campus, a university spokesman said. A release including a description of Wiley and police contact numbers was shared with university students and staff, he said.

Navitus Bay: Wind farm seabed research under way
Credit: Wind farm seabed drilling begins | BBC News | 11 August 2014 | www.bbc.co.uk ~~
The company behind a proposed Jurassic coast offshore wind farm has started drilling investigative boreholes ahead of a planning decision.
The Navitus Bay wind farm would have 194 turbines up to 200m (650ft) high.
Cores of seabed material are being extracted to determine the most suitable type of turbine foundation.
However, opponents of the plans say they were unaware the research was being carried out and have described the move as "arrogant".
The work involves obtaining 15 samples off the Hampshire and Dorset coast "to help better understand the character of the seabed", Navitus Bay said.
It has employed Horizon Geosciences, in a contract worth over £1m, to carry out the drilling.
Tourism claims
The move comes after the company's application for a Development Consent Order (DCO) was accepted for examination by the Planning Inspectorate.
Following the inspectorate's decision, Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change Ed Davey will make the final decision.
Navitus Bay project director Mike Unsworth said the £1m was a "significant investment".
He said: "In parallel with seeking consent for the project, it is vital that we continue to gather additional information about the site conditions to help inform our detailed design of the proposed offshore wind park."
The plans have been opposed by local MPs and councils, who claim there would be a negative impact on coastline views, tourism and residents.
Philip Dewhurst, from Save our Dorset Seaside, said: "This is typical of the arrogance of the developer, to start work before the planning decision."
Navitus Bay claims the wind farm will contribute £1.6bn to the economy over 25 years, and generate power for up to 700,000 homes.
