239,000 students reached annually
9,536 programs delivered
12,500 dedicated volunteers who gave 189,855 hours of their time in 2015-2016
JA Canada, formerly known as Junior Achievement of Canada, is the country's largest youth business education organization and is dedicated to inspiring and preparing young people to succeed in the global economy. The organization is a proud member of JA Worldwide, one of the largest global NGOs with a network of over 100 countries. The JA global network is powered by over 400,000 volunteers and mentors who reach 10 million students annually.
Offering programs in the areas of financial literacy, work readiness and entrepreneurship, JA Canada strives to help students make informed and knowledgeable financial decisions, develop career plans, and express their innovative spirit. In 2016, more than 248,000 young Canadians were impacted by more than 13,000 committed business mentors who shared their real world expertise as they delivered JA programs such as Dollars with Sense, Economics for Success, and Company Program. To date, over four million Canadian youth have participated in JA programs, free of charge.
As a registered charity, JA Canada is funded by generous donors who provide the organization with critical funding needed to develop and deliver programs, train volunteers, and offer scholarships to Canada's future leaders. With their continued support, JA Canada plans to expand its programs to reach one million Canadian students per year by 2020. JA programs focus on three pillars:
Achievers save more, borrow less, and do better financially than the average Canadian. By building youth's knowledge at an early age, JA prepares them to make sound financial decisions throughout their lives. JA empowers students, starting in elementary school, to make smart, lifelong financial choices. Through its financial literacy programs, students learn how to create and manage money, developing skills in areas such as budgeting, investing and creating financial plans.
JA Achievers are more likely to stay in school and earn more than students who don't participate in its programs. JA's work readiness programs give students invaluable career-building skills that they can use throughout their lives. Students learn how to communicate, network, interview for jobs, and collaborate with diverse groups of people to achieve common goals.
JA graduates are more likely to launch their own business, leading to job creation and direct impact on the Canadian economy. JA accelerates growth and cultivates youth spirit by providing the experience and expertise needed to become Canada's future successful entrepreneurs. In JA entrepreneurship programs, students gain first-hand experience in running a successful business. They learn how to create business plans, innovate, manage teams and take a new product to market.
"The priorities of JA Canada fit perfectly with our own corporate values, given that many of our investments are in the financial services sector," says Paul Desmarais, Jr., Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer of Power Corporation. "We have long been advocates of financial literacy and we believe JA Canada's focus on youth is helping improve the financial literacy of future generations."
In 2014, Junior Achievement of Manitoba inducted Jim Burns, former Deputy Chairman and current Director Emeritus of Power Corporation, into the Junior Achievement Manitoba Business Hall of Fame.

Chesterfield sofa is of course one of the most important classic furniture that is today possible to buy.
This kind of sofa has a very ancient history, dating from the sixteenth century, but is also interesting to know where it was born.
Chesterfield is considered a real icon of English vintage design, in fact this so famous sofa, that even today is one of the most popular models in the world, was created for the first time in United Kingdom.
Specifically, Chesterfield Sofa was born in Chesterfield, a little town of 100,000 inhabitants from which it got its name, located in the county of Derbyshire, in the East of the country.
In that time, Chesterfield was a primarily residential city, a town poor in monuments, but rich in artisan workshops.
Was just in these small companies, by the skilful hands of local craftsmen, that was born Chesterfield Sofa: the idea of these professionals was to create a very prestigious sofa to satisfy the demands of more affluent consumers, and Chesterfield Sofa was absolutely perfect for this mission.
Initially, therefore, Chesterfield Sofa was an exclusive prerogative of higher classes, but in the following centuries it also spread to other classes, in correspondence of its spread beyond national borders.
Is surprising that a so ancient sofa is today still one of the most favourite and popular models, and if you want, today, to buy a well done Chesterfield Sofa, you must contact craft company: is really impossible, in fact, to create industrially a Chesterfield Sofa!
Our company, VAMA Divani, operates just like the old English craftsmen, taking care with great rigor of every detail, at first the famous and indispensable decoration capitonnè.

Voiceover: Okay so you're probably
looking at this screen and wondering who in the world are these four men that I
have put on on the screen. Well these four men we're gonna look at. At are very important in understanding
theories of development. So that's what we're gonna talk about in
this, in this video are the different theories
of development. And it would be nice if I could spell it
properly. (laughs) There we go. Okay. So, up here, we have Freud. Over here, we have Erikson. Over here is Vygotsky. And last, we have Kohlberg. So, development. Let's start off by defining what it is. Development is the series of age related
changes that happen over the course of a life
span. So people pass through different stages in
a specific order and each stage builds on top of
another. And we develop capacities through those
stages. Built upon the previous stage. So these four men had four different
theories of how we develop. And the first we're going to take a look
at is Freud, Sigmund Freud. So, Freud proposed the psychosexual theory
of development. So let's write that down here. So, he was. He was important in starting off the
psychosexual theory that describes how personality develops
during childhood. That's also another key term. He looked at how we developed through
childhood, and he actually believed that early childhood
was the most important. Most important age or period in which most
of our personalitie's developed. He said that most of our personality is
established by the age of five. And he says that early experiences play a
large role in personality development and that continues
to influence behavior later in life. And his theory was built upon five stages,
which we'll get into a little bit later. But, if these five stages are completed successfully, the result is a healthy
personality. And certain issues, if they're not
resolved at a certain stage and we move ahead to the next stage,
then. Something called fixation can happen. So that's another key term that we'll take
a look at a little later. So that's the psychosexual theory of
Freud. Now the second key player. Or key person that we're gonna look at was
Kohlberg. Sorry not Kohlberg, Erikson. And Erikson talked about the psychosocial
development theory. So in this theory, he proposed, Eric
Erikson proposed. That personality development occurs
through one's entire lifespan. So, you can already see how it's a little
different from Freud who said personality, most of
it's established in childhood. So he believed that each stage of development again, was focused on
overcoming a conflict. And success or failure in dealing with
these conflicts at each stage can impact overall
functioning of a person. And he proposed a theory that had eight
stages, which we'll take a look at a little later. So in each stage, people faced new
challenges and the stages outcome depends on how people
handle these challenges. The next person was Lev Vykotsky, who was
a Russian theorist. And what Lev said and developed was the sociocultural, cognitive
development theory. So, socio-cultural and how it's heavily
influenced by cognitive development. And, what Vygotsky believed was that
children learn actively and through hands on
experiences. So it's a very, it's an active process
through which through which we develop. And his sociocultural theory suggests that
parents, caregivers, peers cultural beliefs, attitudes, and language
are all responsible for the development of this higher order
function of learning. And he said that a child internalizes the information they get from the interaction
with others. So he was all about, how us as individuals
are influenced by those around us and the culture around
us. And then that is, that interaction is what
is able to guide children in their own performance
and in their own development. And his theory stresses this importance of social interaction in the development of
cognition. So, fun fact, unfortunately, Vygotzky died
at the age of 38. So many of the parts of this theory are
actually incomplete. And the last theorist we're gonna take a
look at was Lawrence Kohlberg. And he developed the moral development
theory. So he looked at how we develop our morals
throughout life. He focused on moral reasoning or why
people think about think about the difference between
right and wrong. So right versus wrong. He believed that moral reasoning depends. Depends on the level of cognitive
development and proposed that people pass through three levels of
moral development. So his was three stages, but each of these three stages was further divided
into two stages. So altogether, there were six levels. And he came up with this theory after he did a lot of research with groups of
children. So he would present these children with a
bunch of moral dilemma situations and then after, he would interview the kids to find out their reasoning behind their
judgements in each of the scenarios so he could ask them a
bunch of questions and try to analyze how they came to certain conclusions and
reasoning behind how they solved each of these
scenarios. So, overall remember that Freud and
Erikson looked at personality. So they were focused on how personality
develops. Versus Vygotsky and Kohlberg were
interested in how our cognition develops. So their theories were heavily, heavily
influenced by cognitive theories. So this is a broad overview of the
different stages of development from four main and
different perspectives. There are a lot of other and much many
more perspectives, but we're going to focus on these four and
so the main takeaway from this is to keep in mind
the similarities and differences, as well as the focus of
each of the theories. And in the next set of videos, I'll go into more depth into each one of these

Used vehicle prices to be stable in second half of 2019 barring new tariffs
Used vehicle prices rebounded in March after falling at the start of 2019, but after April, the prices are expected to remain stable throughout the remainder of the year, unless new tariffs are implemented.
Used vehicle prices rose 0.58% in March, from February, and the Manheim Used Vehicle Value Index increased 4% to 136 in March, from the same month in 2018, said Zo Rahim, manager of economics and industry insights for Cox Automotive.
Jonathan Smoke, chief economist for Cox Automotive, said prices for 2016 vehicles declined for seven consecutive weeks to start the year in a time that is typically stable for prices.
"Sinking consumer confidence, the polar vortex and the government shutdown even managed to pull down used sales in January," Smoke said. "Nervousness about tax refund season made dealers more cautious about loading up used inventory to start the year. Plus, prices have risen so much last summer and fall that there was room for decline in early 2019."
While prices declined, they have since started to rise, and are down 0.2% from the start of the year, Smoke said. In 2018, prices rose 2.6%. Prices typically rise in March and April as a result of people receiving tax refunds.
In a February survey, 78% of respondents said they were surprised by their tax refund, but the impact to the used vehicle market hasn't been as bad as expected, Smoke said.
The number of tax returns processed through March 29 fell 1.4%, from the same time in 2018, Rahim said. And, the number of refunds declined by 2.2%, from the same time in 2018. Also, the average refund has declined, and about 1% of tax filers who received a refund in 2018 owe money this year, Smoke said. However, used vehicle prices have started to rise.
Smoke attributed the rise to variations in refunds for consumers, and more used vehicle buyers likely have benefited whereas consumers in high tax states have been negatively surprised by their taxes.
The annual rate of used vehicle sales declined to 39.4 million in March after peaking at 39.6 million in October, Smoke said. Used vehicle sales are flat from the same time last year. For 2019, the sales are expected to reach 39 million.
In a dealer sentiment survey, respondents expect a good spring but not as strong as 2018. Dealers are more positive about the market than they were in the fourth quarter of 2018 and are optimistic about the second quarter of 2019 after being pessimistic about how the first quarter would start. But optimism has fallen from when tax reform was being implemented.
"Key more negative differences compared to last year are dealer views of market conditions, consumer confidence and interest rates," Smoke said. "It is also notable this year that the gap in sentiment and optimism has closed between franchises and independents. Franchises continue to be worried about the impact of higher tariffs."
Smoke expects used vehicle prices to rise in April as consumers continue to receive tax refunds. Prices should be stable through the rest of the year, but tariffs could lead prices to rise or decline, depending on the outcome.
"If we end up with all uncertainty eliminated and lower tariffs, we could actually have prices come down," said Smoke, noting that it's impossible to forecast. "Tariff driven price movement aside, this should be another stronger than average year for vehicle values but regressing toward a more normal year, if indeed we start seeing stability."
Prices in the second half of the year will likely fall in comparison to the same period in 2018, if tariffs don't lead to price increases, Smoke said. "New tariffs will lead to stronger sales in the short term and higher prices, which will eventually lead to a cliff and a fall to lower sales."
Repossessions are expected to rise as a result of increasing delinquency rates in the subprime sector after being flat or down for the majority of 2018, Smoke said.
Rising prices and the affordability of new vehicles has led to strength in the used vehicle market, he said. And this strength comes at a time when more nearly new vehicles are entering the market, largely as a result of vehicles coming into the market that were previously leased. The sales volume decline in the new vehicle market is an opportunity for the used car market, he said. The challenge for the used car market will be having enough inventory to meet demand.
The average used vehicle that is sold and financed is about $20,000, and the average monthly payment is about $414, which is up less than 1% from last year, Smoke said. The average monthly payment for a new vehicle has risen about 4% to $567.
"The only real challenge becomes, as interest rates are rising, when do subprime borrowers start running into the caps on interest rates that are imposed because of usury laws in certain parts of the country. Effectively, that means the credit dries up. We're not at that point yet. We think we're starting to flirt with it. And ironically one of the biggest surprises that I've had so far this year is the fact that auto loan rates have gone up instead of going down like we've seen in the 10-year bonds and mortgage rates." Also, as new vehicle incentives decline, more people are pushed into the used vehicle market, and this helps to understand why new vehicle sales have fallen 4% so far this year, he said.
The average used vehicle interest rate was 10.7% in March, and it was the highest rate since 2011, said Smoke, noting that subprime borrowers aren't expected to be limited until the rate rises another 200 basis points.

We were only a little bit too late; the lake already had a name.
I had walked in with four mates: Pafi, Bug, Quacker and Gilly. We tramped across the buttongrass plains, swung through a patch of rainforest, and scaled the steep hill to find tremendous mountains overlooking a glistening blue lake, lined with a beach made of crushed quartzite. It was a spectacular view.
We told Pafi, a Greek, that there were crocs in the lake, and then vowed to swim across it nevertheless. Later on, he was almost bitten by a tiger snake, and it excited him to no end. We pitched our tent, had a stout, and cooked up a sandy curry. Someone climbed a pencil pine; someone else wandered about with no clothes on.
Climbing up Reed's Peak, we could see chains of mountains, for countless kilometres, in every direction.
In my glee, I wanted to commemorate the occasion by naming the features for my friends. Quacker's Peak, Bug Flats, the Gilly River and Greek Lake might all have come up for the consideration of the Nomenclature Board, if everything hadn't already been named.
We were only a little bit too late. Lake Rhona is named after Rhona Warren, a hardy Irish lass with a bulbous nose and determined eyes, a member of the Hobart Walking Club and a pioneer of female bushwalking in the early part of the 20th Century. The lake was named for her in 1935.
Had we been there earlier, the bushwalking maps of Tasmania would hint at the story of our couple of days around Lake Rhona. But the names that people attach to features on the earth are written in pencil anyway; like all memories, they fade away, the features change, and the characters whose lives have centred around such places die and new people arrive.
Still, the urge to commemorate my stories in these places remains. At the very least, I want to know where the names come from. Places, after all, bear the burden of our memories. It's good to know the stories that came before.
So next time you cross the Gordon River and head towards the Denison River, take a dip in Greek Lake. Don't worry, there aren't too many crocs.

Here's a summarized list of what you'll find in this Ultimania provided by Heartstation.org:
- Complete walkthroughs of every boss, which are fought in a variety of styles from side-scroll action and 3D shooting to turn style RPG battles!
- Extensive data on every detail appearing in the game!
- Complete guide to the over 800 Avatar Kingdom side game parts!

You can purchase the Ultimania book from Amazon Japan for 1,680 yen ($20)
In more Kingdom Hearts Recoded news, Famitsu conducted an interview with Recoded co-producers Kato and Ito. Thanks go to Rebirth Wings for posting the interview and Heartstation.org for translating it!
Fam. About when and how did the Re:Coded project begin?
Kato. We were considering the fact that there were a lot of people that who wanted to try out Coded outside of the mobile phone version, so from about October of last year we started development together with H.a.n.d. on the DS version.
Fam: Tell us the reason for including the new elements in the system areas.
Ito: A greater volume was being updated to the growth system from the mobile phone version, so to keep up with the stronger Sora it was necessary to update the system areas. So in place of the "Debug Mode" which was a strong puzzle element in the mobile version, we opted for a random dungeon style system area instead.
Kato: The attributes like side-scroll action and 3D shooting stages that existed in the mobile version added a variety of ways to play so we made the best of them, so by using the system areas as the places of adventure we increased the play volume.
Fam: Concerning the status matrix, do the status points finally have a maximum value? Also, what is the highest level you can achieve?
Ito: When the status effects reach their maximum points, the colors of the numbers change and they can't increase. There is a maximum number of level-up chips that can be obtained, however if they are used smartly, the maximum level you can reach is 99.
Fam: The Avatar Kingdom feature of this title utilizes the DS Wifi feature that activates when players pass by one another. Even if players don't pass by, do built-in avatars appear?
Ito: Since the device can pick up various radio waves, it's easy to encounter other avatars while out in the real world. There are various kinds of built-in avatars with messages included too, so please enjoy them.
Fam: If you have any particular memories or episodes from during development of this title, please tell us about it.
Ito: This time development was handled with H.a.n.d. Thanks to everyone working on it tackling the project positively, the finished product is really good.
Kato: For a moment we considered giving up the Scratch Card idea, but thanks to the Osaka staff's efforts we were able to make it happen.
Fam: Finally, any messages for the players of Re:Coded?
Ito: You can change your avatar's outfits using the touch pen, so you can get quite detailed. You can use the pen to add tiny parts like "Cid's toothpick" and other things make sure to check it out.
Kato: Collecting trophies can earn you cheat panels which are useful, by all means make use of them!
And finally youtube user TheDogonfire has uploaded a clear audio and quality trailer of the English Kingdom Hearts Recoded E3 trailer! You can hear the new VA for Jiminy Cricket in this version!

Party's candidate warns of Brexit risks to medical isotopes availability
Plaid Cymru's Ioan Bellin has said that remaining in the EU is the only way of avoiding shortages of crucial medicines and equipment for the Welsh NHS.
Isotopes such as Technetium-99 are used for the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases, including cancers, and cardiovascular and brain disorders.
Technetium-99 cannot be manufactured in the UK and is supplied from within the EU because its half-life is too short to allow for importing from elsewhere. Border delays, queues, and checks caused by a no deal scenario will make importing such isotopes substantially more difficult.
The shipment of medical isotopes into Wales is governed by Euratom, which the UK is due to leave as it leaves the EU; this could mean the end of important medical isotopes altogether.
Plaid Cymru has warned that the only way to avoid the risk of shortages to crucial isotopes such as Technetium-99 is to remain in the EU.
Plaid Cymru's European election candidate Ioan Bellin said:
"Thousands of people all over Wales rely on lifesaving medicines imported from the EU every day; Plaid Cymru simply cannot countenance anything that could lead to shortages or delays. Indeed, we have been consistent that we are unwilling to accept the huge risks that any version of Brexit would pose to Wales.
"The European election on 23 May could be our last chance to send a message that we are unwilling to sacrifice our NHS on the altar of a disastrous Brexit. You too can reject the dangerous Brexit being forced through by the Westminster parties, by lending your vote to Plaid Cymru.
"We are appealing for support from across the political spectrum because we are the only party standing in this election that has a realistic chance of winning seats that is unconditionally supporting a People's Vote."
Plaid Cymru's Shadow Health and Social Services Minister Helen Mary Jones AM added:
"Medical isotopes like this are used in over 850,000 scans per year, and more than 10,000 patients across the UK receive cancer treatment using them. If, as expected, Brexit leads to border delays and checks, this would be a total disaster.
"It is absolutely essential that we avoid anything that could lead to medicine shortages and cancelled treatments or operations for life-threatening conditions.
"The only way to completely avoid that risk is to remain in the EU, and Plaid Cymru is the only pro-Remain party standing in the European election that can realistically win in Wales."

Not familiar with e-bikes, but in the states you'd generally just have to go to the original source. They're a relatively recent market so you don't have a huge secondary market the way you would with something like Harleys.
bit of an odd request, but hey, what do I have to lose - a (non-english speaking) relative is looking for a replacement e-bike battery (this is the original, and he is trying to find out whether it's possible to order them cheaper somewhere, as 1300E is a bit too steep).
if someone has an idea (meaning, a solid place that sells them at reasonable price, and ships to central Europe), I'm all ears - thanks.
Not familiar with e-bikes, but in the states you'd generally just have to go to the original source. They're a relatively recent market so you don't have a huge secondary market the way you would with something like Harleys.
I'd ask in the ebike subreddit.
I'll probably try, thanks.
I quick search in the USA found a number of vendors selling them for about E1100. Still expensive, but less than 1300 E. Import taxes and whatnot may suck up the difference. It looks like a very "Specialized" part - pun intended. Maybe a retrofit can be done to use a generic battery not fitted into the frame. Best of luck.
If the original battery is not needed any more, you could try and open it and see what's inside. I wouldn't be surprised if it uses off the shelf 18650-type batteries. If that's the case, you could just swap out all the batteries inside for new ones. You'd have to know your way around Li-Ion batteries a bit, of course. You'd need about 70-100 batteries, which would come to 300-600 Euro.
Or if you can live with a smaller capacity battery, you could get this 500Wh one.
I'll check that out, thanks.
I've been riding bikes for years and seen people do a lot of weird things to their bikes. I seen a lady that had a 2 stroke engine bolted to a rack on the back or her bike. And some dude that converted his bike to, basically, a electric motorcycle because he obtain road speeds with it. Those factory bicycle conversions are expensive that's for sure. If it was me i would put a 12 volt electric motor on one the wheels and strap a 12 volt marine battery to a rack on the back of the bike. On second thought it might be a little top heavy. You would need a tow hitch and small cart to tow behind the bike for it work.

CHICO — I admitted to a friend I was scared to try curry. He thought it was ridiculous statement. He actually told me that saying I was frightened of curry was comparable to saying I was frightened of barbecue sauce. When I think about it like that, it does seem more than a little silly.
That said, I didn"t get all brave and attempt to eat the curry at Thai Basil.
When I walked into the restaurant I was immediately seated, handed a menu and within a minute I was served a glass of ice water with lime. About 30 seconds later I was given a small bowl of soup. The service was fabulous. The soup was interesting. I can"t really compare it with anything I have ever eaten. Tofu, green onions and the distinct aroma of ginger flooded my mouth. Some other flavors were mixed in too, but I really couldn"t name them. A couple of sips was enough for me.
The lunch menu had 20 or so options for $7.50 or less. I was a little intimidated since my experience with Thai food is pretty limited. By pretty limited I mean I have eaten it on one other occasion. I decided to go with the Thai Basil ($6.95.) It"s the signature dish and namesake of the restaurant, so I figured it must be pretty tasty. It can be prepared with tofu or a choice of meat. I went for the tofu because it was cheaper, and I have a limited budget. Each dish can be prepared mild, medium or spicy. I hesitated then decided medium would probably be OK.
The waitress who took my order was polite and super speedy. More than 15 people sat in the restaurant eating and chatting quietly, and even though I only saw two people working, my plate was brought out to the table in about eight minutes. It usually takes longer than that for me to get my food at McDonald"s, and this food was made to order.
What sat before me was a full plate of veggies and tofu covered in a brownish sauce My mouth began watering as soon as the aroma of garlic and onions reached my nostrils. I tried a bite. The veggies were great, not overcooked. I"m not sure "medium" is the word I would have used to describe the heat level of the dish, but the minty basil was refreshing and balancing.
Also crammed onto the plate was white rice and a spring roll with dipping sauce. The spring roll was the best I have ever eaten. The outside was delicately crisp and the filling was flavorful but not overpowering. I tried the dipping sauce, but it was too sweet.
As a poor college student, I usually stick with things I know I like. I can"t afford to take risks because if I"m not a fan of the food I am just stuck with a meal I don"t like — and the bill.
I think I might start trying new places for a few reasons. One, Thai Basil was the best meal I have eaten in a good while. Two, life is boring if you don"t take a few risks. And lastly, as the Starving Student, I"m not the one who gets stuck with the bill if I don"t like the food I try.

Best public places to work out in Central London
If you've been in an air-conditioned office all day than perhaps the last thing you want to do is go to the gym. Particularly if you work in central London.
It seems that all the gyms in central London are underground, and have no natural light coming in. Also, you have to deal with the congestion, queuing for equipment, etc.
Therefore, it is great to just go outside and be one with nature. You've spent enough time indoors at work so get outside.
I am going to share my top 3 locations in central London for outdoor training. You won't need to bring any equipment to train in these places.
All you will need is just some suitable clothing for the following activities:
- Cycling
- Running
- Swimming
- HIIT training
GPS coordinates: 51.5313° N, 0.1570° W
Regents Park is one of London's royal parks. It is 410.2 acres in size. There is 100 acres of the park dedicated to sports pitches, to support sports like football, touch rugby, ultimate Frisbee and many more.
What also makes this a great park to train in is the fact that it has 6 running routes that you can use whether you are a beginner or advanced.
Here are the six running routes:
Beginner runs
- The hub run – 35
- Avenue gardens run – 1.97 km
Intermediate runs
- Lakeside run – 2.81 km
- Outer circle run – 4.45 km
- Primrose Hill run – 1.9 km
- The Regents Park run – 6.36 km
GPS coordinates: 51.5039° N, 0.1439° W
Green park is boasts 47 acres of open space and is located between St James Park and Hyde Park. Although Green Park is not as big as Regents Park it is more peaceful.
Due to the peaceful nature of the park it makes it easy to disconnect from the world and workout in peace.
There are no dedicated running routes like in Green park, but you can HIIT training, short sprints or boxing pad work with a friend.
GPS coordinates: 51.5073° N, 0.1657° W
This park has one of the most beautiful pieces of scenery in London. The park is 352 acres in size, while Kensington gardens is 111 acres in size. The two combined are 625 acres.
Some of the leisure activities you can do in this park are horse riding, tennis, rowing and peddle boating.
You can also swim in the Serpentine between June to September between the times of 10 am to 6pm. The open water swimming facility covers an area of 30 meters x 100 meter.
After your swim, you can go to the Lido café bar to have a snack, tea or just to relax.
You are also allowed to run and cycle on any of the pathways in the park, and with the acres of grass available you can also find a spot to do some bodyweight exercises.

First Bible Lesson: Matthew 8:8
"The Centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed."
Second Bible Lesson: Roman 10:10
"For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
Golden Text: Matthew 12:37
"For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned."
Brethren, that is our spiritual food. First and foremost, I have instructed you that whenever you come in here you should fix your gaze at the Red Garment and believe that your sickness, your court case, lack, poverty, afflictions, and all your tribulations are gone; by looking at the Red Garment, whether you were blind, dumb, deaf, impotent; whether you suffered from hypertension, diabetes, anemia, hemorrhage, as soon as you listen to this gospel and imbibe same, believe fervently that your problems are solved. There is wealth, money and employment here, but only honest and faithful persons are required. Those who have this belief are looked for. You have heard what the Centurion says in our first lesson: "Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof ": He made this statement from the bottom of his heart. That was why he added: "But speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed." Have you seen the efficacy of faith. That is what is meant by "God helps those who help themselves." If you believe in your heart what that means you are okay. It is with the heart that man believeth in God unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. I am grateful to the Father because ninety-nine percent of those in Brotherhood have this type of faith. It is only one percent of Brotherhood members, made up of new entrants and a few others, who have no such faith. The ability to have this faith is not from man but is a consummation of the scriptures that "They shall believe in Him." The faith exercised by those outside the fold is stronger than that expressed by members of Brotherhood. A great many people outside the fold regard you as rebels. At times they question the rationale behind your coming here, since you lack faith. Others maintain that since they have faith they don't need to be here. They, having derived benefits from their faith, become proud of the Father.
So was it in the beginning that God created the world with the WORD. (Gen 1:3) Our Lord Jesus Christ came and ministered with the WORD. What do you think the Holy Spirit should have used in accomplishing His works? It was spoken already that the Word is God. And if the Word does all the works, then why not believe that the Word can give you salvation. The Centurion said to Christ, "Speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed." The statement he made was from his heart of hearts. He sincerely believed in his heart that if Christ should speak, then his servant would be healed.
Everything Fulfills According To One's Faith
Faith goes with works. God does not require your money, beauty or handsomeness; nor does he require your fluent talk, or any other thing you possess; God requires that you should believe fervently in your heart that as you are sitting down the Father is with you. He requires that you should believe that whatever you want the Father has bestowed on you. You should believe that as you are walking or talking, He walks with you, hears you and has accomplished all things. That is what He requires from you. The Bible says: "It is fulfilled unto you according to your measure of faith." (Rom 12:3) In your house the Father is there, and if you believe, when you knock your head on the ground all your problems are solved. It will be fulfilled accordingly. That is how you believe it. But another person may believe that as soon as he calls on the Father's name his problems are solved; and when he calls on the Father's name it will be fulfilled accordingly. That is how that person believes. Another person may also believe that if he has any problem, immediately he goes on 6:00 a.m to 6:00 p.m. fasting, his problems will be over, and it works out accordingly for him. That is the person's belief. Another person upholds that as soon as he pays his tithe his problems will be over. Some other person says: "Immediately I step my feet on 34 Ambo premises my problems are over," and as soon as he steps his feet on this precinct he becomes free. Another person maintains that as soon as he looks unto the Father's face his encumbrances are over, and as soon as he does that his difficulties will be over. There may be some other person who upholds that immediately he comes into the hall and knocks his head before the altar that his problems will be solved, and it is fulfilled to him accordingly. There is yet another person who says, "As soon as I reach the headquarters, attend evening or morning service and listen to the Father's gospel, my tribulations will be over;" and when he does that his problems become solved.
There is another person who believes that if he is lucky to have the holy oil (no matter how small the quantity) to anoint himself; and even though you make a droplet of the oil into water for him to drink he will be well. Those who possess the type of faith which was exercised by the Centurion are over one hundred million. These persons don't bother to come here but they boast in the Father. You may find it difficult to identify these persons, but their faith is so strong that the mouth can't express. That is why they don't have any problem. They are always with the Father. At times they may not even baptize. What draws them is faith. No matter the number of days you come here if you lack faith you will always go empty handed.
You have heard what was prophesied before the birth of John the baptist; "that he shall be great before the sight of God, and will come in the Spirit of Elijah and will turn the hearts of parents to the children, and that of children to the parents and shall cause them to walk according to the prompting of God. (Luke 1: 15-17) The Father was the one doing that work and the Father is still at work. Those were prophecies. It was also prophesied that Christ will inherit the Crown of Glory in the house of his father, David, and shall reign for ever and ever. (Luke 1:32) Therefore, realize that this glory has no beginning nor end and He shall remain the king for ever.
He said: "… The Comforter, even the Holy Spirit of truth, will teach you all things and shall guide you unto all truth." (John 14:26) That was a prophecy and that was the truth. It is also said: "I will write my laws into their hearts; a neighbour shall not teach a neighbour, neither shall a brother teach a brother to know God; because from the least to the greatest, they shall know me; for I will be merciful unto their unrighteousness and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. (Heb 8:10-12 /Jer 31:34) This is a lucky generation. This is fulfilled according to the words of prophecy. It does not come because we are good, worthy, righteous, or faithful and not also that we seek for it. It is fulfilled in our time because it was prophesied. And those who are meant to know Him will know Him. It is said that all those who call upon the name of Jehovah God shall be saved. (Joel 2:32) This is the time in which you should call upon him and receive salvation. This is not the time to seek for prayers from others, neither is it the time to seek oil, barks of tree, charm or concoction. Call upon His holy name and receive salvation. It is by faith that the righteous live. It is not by shouting, or praying, or dancing that you receive salvation.
Salvation comes to you by your measure of faith.
There is nobody in this world who believes in Him, and lacks eternal life. There is no kind of problem, difficulty or injury which He cannot take away and cure once you believe in Him. If you station here in Calabar or Nigeria, without going out, you will not realize that the inhabitants of the world do believe in Him. Remember what our Lord Jesus Christ told one of His disciples. "Blessed is he who does not see but yet believes." (John 20:29) To behold anything with your eyes is not unto faith. The fact that you don't experience many manifestations in your life is because of what you have seen. But if you go to out-stations like Britain, America, etc. you will be startled by the wonderful testimonies they give. This is possible because of their measure of faith. Should you behold the various manifestations of the Father's works there, you will conclude that the Father does not exist in this part of the globe, Nigeria. The Father is here in Nigeria. He is present everywhere. The fact is that faith does all the works; and faithlessness has caused you not to see the Father's marvelous works.
You Know Not Where You Are?
If you search the scriptures it is written "Though Jesus was known in the flesh but after Him, know we no man in the flesh." (2 Cor 5:16). Recall when the Pharisees asked Him when the kingdom of God should come. He said: "The kingdom of God cometh not by observation, neither shall men say, Lo! here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom is within you." (Luke 17:20-21) You err when you say, "I want to see the Father and dialogue with Him; or I want to give Him a letter." Whenever you need the Father, go into your bedroom and converse with the Father and He will surely give you the answer. Don't bother to write a letter; but believe in your heart that the Father has accomplished your requests; once you do that it will be fulfilled accordingly. Whatever one sees with his eyes is no faith. But such a thing somebody does not see yet he believes, that is faith. (Heb 11:1).
If you want to know what Brotherhood means, don't come here; but have that faith, believe fervently that the Father is with you and has taken away your problems and has granted all your requests; once you act in this way it will be fulfilled accordingly. All those who attended the evening service here on Friday must have heard the testimony which was given by Christ Witness Ime Akpakpan about the happenings in Cameroons, and the one which was given by Pastor Umiong about a Hausa man. If you have heard you would realize that this thing is not yet clear to you. Christ Witness Ime Akpakpan testified about what happened in Cameroons; that an Indian drove a motor car which got broken down at a place close to where the Choirmaster lives. It was reported that the man tried his best to rectify the fault but it was to no avail. And the choirmaster fixed Father's photograph at his door panel which was spotted by the Indian the following day. The man was said to have been alert when he saw the photograph and inquired to know who lives there. The choirmaster told the Indian that he was the occupant of the house, but the Indian argued that he (choirmaster) was not the occupant of the house. To the Indian, the choirmaster was a common man and he wondered how he could get that type of expensive and sacred picture. The Indian could not hold his peace, then asked the choirmaster what stage he has reached and the name of the society he has initiated into. The choirmaster said he was not a member of any secret society. The Indian told him that the picture on his door panel, while in the society he belongs, he can only be seen by those who must have excelled to 25th "temple" and even then, at such a level you could only behold the picture very far away in the sky as a flame of fire and nobody reaches there. The man questioned the choirmaster how he managed to get such a wonderful picture of the Great and sacred Being.
Pastor Umiong testified that three weeks ago a Hausa man came into his office and found the Father's enlarged photograph there, and did something which called his attention. He said the man stared at the Father's picture for some time and said to him, "Do you see this man, he is the ruler of heaven and earth." The man says at Mecca all of them make request to Him and if He does not approve of anything nobody can receive same. The man further said that He is fire, and asked whether people who get closer to him don't know that they are joking with fire? The Muslim spoke at length concerning what he knew about the Being he saw on the photograph. There is nobody in the whole world except you, who does not know who is in your midst and where you are. As long as you come here with the notion that you want to see the Father, does that portray your knowledge of Him? There is such a person, though you may promise to give him N100 million so that he could come here, he will not come. He will refuse on grounds that the Father is with him and whatever he desires he requests from him and receive same. If the Father gives something, that is when you receive it, but should He not approve of your request you have to be patient since there is no problem.
When Dr. P.C. Aggarwal came here he was scared. When queried on why he was scared he said there was a consuming fire which he could not withstand. What is required of you in this kingdom is faith. Let our first lesson be read.
First Bible Lesson: Matthew 8:8
"The Centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed."
Faith Does Mighty Works
Amongst you here, how many people have this sort of faith? But there are millions and one in the world who have this type of faith, some have never even come in here. There is no use for somebody to request for water, or holy oil, or any kind of prayers; there is no need for somebody to say that he wants to see the Father nor is there any need to write a letter to the Father, when you have this type of faith.
He is sufficient unto all. He is the Sole Spiritual Head. He lives in you, in your child, in your goat, fowl, fish, trees, and is Omnipresent. Immediately you dial His telephone number, whatever He tells you is final. There is nobody who has not seen Him. He directs you not to do one thing or the other; he approves of what you have to do which He has perfected; and once you have faith you have solved all things. But once you don't believe what you are told that, "all is well," either spiritually, or physically then what is your worth? And why do you even come here? This is the recondite wisdom of God. The whites have invented locomotive engines, and manufactured aeroplanes, jet bombers, etc. but this phenomenon in question is lavishly seen everywhere. While standing along the road you are with Him. He goes with every person, advising, and blessing all. What is expected of you is to believe in Him. He has not come to dwell with us in the flesh or to dialogue with us in the flesh. He exists in the spirit. As you are here if you pick up one of our publications (Father's gospel) and go through, all your problems will be over. Even mere looking at the Father's picture with faith takes away your problems. It fulfills to you according to your measure of faith.
Right now the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit is here. You have received the Holy Spirit which in-dwells your heart. The Father is speaking to you; do you believe in Him? Do you have faith in Him? Does your problem not stem from this? You are advised to listen to your spirit. At times you intended coming to Calabar because you are ill. But when He was speaking to you not to come to Calabar for your illness is over, did you hear? Did you comply with that instruction? Were you not still bent on going to Calabar? Your prayer does nothing. Your word does nothing. It is faith which accomplishes the work. A great many have adopted the Father's decree that when somebody is ill no long prayer should be offered other than "Go, your sickness is over". Christ Witness Ime Akpakpan pinpointed that he does not bother on prayers any longer, and no matter the magnitude of one's ailment, whether mental derangement, etc. he would only say "Go, your madness is over," and that patient will be healed. If somebody has a court case, stand there and tell him that his court case is squashed. That will be fulfilled accordingly. That is peculiar to those who have unshakable faith and strong belief. If somebody tells you that his wife is barren, just tell him that she has started putting to birth henceforth, and that will be fulfilled. You don't need to pray in such cases because there is no need for prayers.
"God helps those who help themselves" is no other thing than faith. Once you have faith, no matter your status, if you tell a job seeker, "Go, you are employed", if he believes, the same will be done; before he knows what is happening he will procure a gainful employment. Whichever of you should make this declaration, it will be fulfilled. But what have you resorted to doing? Is it not calling on the Father to send down His power? What is the meaning of that act? It is written that "The leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nation." (Rev 22:2). Don't you remember the days of the Apostles? What other thing than the name of Christ did they use in healing? At all times they would tell an afflicted "In the name of Jesus, rise and walk" and that was fulfilled.
Did they pray at all? But now you pray at times and wake people up, what type of prayers do you think you have been offering? Does that not connote faithlessness? As you sometimes shout, "Olumba Olumba Obu," that is not what we mean. The Bible says, "For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." (Rom 10:10) As long as you don't believe in your heart that by mere calling on that name you receive salvation, no matter how well you recite that name it profits you nothing. But those who believe in that name; those who are faithful in that name, conscious of the fact that the name can accomplish all things, do not shout nor call it many times, and before the sound comes out of their mouth something spectacular will happen.
Those of you who lack faith and disbelieve God, are short of testimonies but those who have faith have great testimonies. Such people can dialogue with the Father's picture; somebody can just thank the Father for what he receives (even without getting it) and it will be fulfilled. It is faith which does the work.
There is no need for drinking holy oil or bathe in the Biakpan water, there is no need for long prayers; you have His telephone number which you have to dial in times of emergency. Immediately you believe in your heart that there is no apparition, witch or wizard, sin nor death; when you believe that you have no problem and declare same, that is the end of your problems. It does not require any prayer than what you have heard. If you lack money it is because you lack faith. But if you believe in your heart and become convinced that you have money, then money will always be within your reach. But once you speak negatively "I don't have money" you will lack money; though you shout at the top of your voice for people to give you money nobody will lend you ears.
Have I ever told you there is no wealth here? I continuously tell you that wealth, money and employment are here, but honest people are required. You declare now that you don't have money and it is fulfilled to you as you have said. If you believe in your heart that there is no juju, charm, mermaid, apparition, witch or wizard, fetish etc. and that only God exists, then you would have received righteousness; and when you speak out your heart it will be fulfilled. Faith is like a magnet. You intend to board an aircraft which is about to take off at exactly 9 o'clock, but if in your heart you are wholly convinced that you will not miss the flight and that the plane will have to take off when you have boarded, then the plane will not leave until you are there; and once you get into the aircraft it will take off. This is what occurred to the Leader's Representative (of Cameroons) at Cameroons. She testified that no matter who is involved the plane cannot wait on the tarmac beyond the time it has to take off, but in her own case the aircraft waited one hour above the scheduled time; and as soon as she boarded the plane it took off.
I Am Omnipresent
Whenever you tread on road which vehicles do not ply, just believe in your heart that you will enter a vehicle along that road and it will be fulfilled accordingly. Neither the driver nor you will know how it came about but such is what faith can do. You are suffering and on the other hand imposing sufferings upon yourself even though you know that the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit is here. Why do you fast and pray in a way that you disturb your next door neighbour? Why do you go to endless ministry works? You have also celebrated feast to such an extent that you don't know what to do next. What is the profit derivable from these acts of yours? Have faith and believe in Him in order to behold His glory.
I am aware that this lecture is too advanced for you but then you have received it. I have given you the ability to receive it. I have opened your ears, eyes and have broken the walls of your hearts for these words to go in and dwell. The songs you render that the Father is at 34 Ambo is always wrong, the Father is in your house and in your heart; the Father is with you along the road, He is above and beneath; the Father is the water and is present everywhere. Who tells you that the Father is stationary at 34 Ambo Street, Calabar? Is it not faithlessness that causes you to speak in this manner?
You are equally wrong to claim that the Father is here on earth. Who tells you that? I am making declarations to you from the high heavens, and those words are heard and received by all the inhabitants of the world, all creations of God and all planes of manifest. Those who are asleep receive the same gospel I deliver; those in the water, those above, those in America, India, and all countries of the world, all spirits and angels and indeed all creations of God receive exactly these words. Nobody has told me this but this is the truth. Why do you bother yourself having known that the Father is here with you? Whatever type of problem you have is known to the Father and He has taken same away. You don't need to tell somebody your problems. Exercise this faith with strong belief so that things can work out well. Faithlessness has always been your problem. You are shouting "Olumba Olumba Obu!" everywhere and yet He has done all things but you have always refused to believe and are faithless.
Like those from Asata Bethel, Enugu, I just laugh at them; perhaps they think I don't know what goes on there. I am there at Asata and I am here too. Some of them have started believing now. When you come to me, before I start asking you questions I have answers ready made with me which are things I have known already. But when you begin to enumerate what transpired, to whom are you talking? Are you talking to the blind or deaf? Let our second lesson be read.
Second Bible Lesson: Roman 10:10
"For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."
Faith Works Like Magic
That is the key. This explains why, when the disciples of Christ could not cure an epileptic patient, they asked Christ why they could not perform the healing; but Christ said they lacked faith. And He further said "If ye were to possess faith even as a mustard seed ye could command a sycamore tree to be removed from here and be planted at yonder and it will obey you." (Matt 17:20) Myself and the world, who loves the other most? Do the people of world love themselves? Do you love God? But I love you and I have come to save you. Tell me why I should lead you astray? At your house people are scared of you, having realized that you don't believe. Others testify that they have seen the man who wears Red Garment. At places where they consult oracles they see "Olumba." When they attempt to kill you it is "Olumba" that will appear. But you don't seem to recognize His wonderful manifestations. In the wake of this you always say "I want to go to Calabar and report what you have done to my Father." What do you mean by "my Father?" I am convinced that as many millions as believed, the same are saved; realize that you don't believe. All those who complain of one trouble, difficulty, problem or the other, are unbelievers. Those who believe have no problem, they don't even pray but they move freely in a problem free milieu. Others outside the fold maintain that nobody can point any accusing finger at you but you say that it has been done; you declare that incubus torments you every night or that you are always bewitched. But those in the world bear witness that your Father is always with you. But you make negative statements at all times. Whatever was your problem as I am here now talking, your problems are over.
The Holy Spirit does not require your money, wisdom or anecdotes. He does not long for prayer, fasting, or your feast. But He expects you to believe in your heart that there is no witch, apparition, death, lack, tribulations and that all things are well with you; speak out that you have all things within your reach and it shall be fulfilled. Even though a small child from Brotherhood goes into any gathering, that child is greater than them, and they have to obey him. Whatever type of conference that is attended by even a child born today in Brotherhood, all the attendants must bow to the baby; in addition, nothing can harm him. Do you think you are saved because of fasting or because of the protracted speeches you make, or long prayers? You are saved out of mercy and grace. Faith subsumes what one does not see but yet believes. But since I believe that the type of work I do you are doing and that you shall remain with me, though you argue that nobody can stay with God, but does that hinder your staying with me? Are you not staying with me now? You are doing the works that I do and I have changed you into the nature of God.
It is with the heart you believe unto righteousness and with the mouth you confess such things and have salvation. Once you declare that you have relations, brothers, sisters, employment, etc. don't bother any longer for they will come easily to you. The gospel of yesterday taught us that whatever is meant for a man remains his own. Once you believe that yours is yours, you will not struggle nor scramble for things; you will not talk nor make noise, neither will you enslave yourself to somebody, being aware that your share will be given to you in due season; and if you don't get it today you may get it tomorrow.
Recall the case of the Centurion, he was not a disciple of Christ yet none of His disciples had his type of faith. He said, "Lord, I am not worthy that thou should come under my roof: but speak the word only and my servant shall be healed." Nobody knew the distance between the Centurion's house and the place they were, but he (Centurion) requested for the spoken word. Have you seen what the spoken word can do? When you make arrangement to go to America because your blood relation is sick over there, is where you are not America? Speak the word and things will be alright. Tell that person that at that moment he is well, and that will be done accordingly. Connect yourself with God. God is love, truth, patience, mercy, peace, goodness, long suffering, meekness, lowliness of the heart, etc. when you have these attributes it means you have a link with God. At this stage you have no disappointment in anything you wish to do. How many people always believe that things are well when the Father says "Go, all is well". Some people argue that the Father is fond of making such declarations. But all those who believe have never experienced any problem.
I thank the Holy Spirit for the faith injected into Brethren from Asata Bethel; they are satisfied with this gospel and great testimonies abound for all of them. Though they intended leaving before now, only to be held back in order to receive this gospel, but now they are happy. Remember that man who suffered from leprosy. When Jesus met him he asked, "what wilt thou I shalt do unto thee?" Does it mean Christ did not know his plight? But it is "with the heart you believe unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." The leper said to Christ: "If thou wilt cleanse me." And he said: "Be thou cleansed." (Mark 1:40-41) At that spot the sick man was cleansed. If you lack faith and you are commanded to be cleansed, it will not work out because you are faithless.
What of the blind man Bartimaeus? (Mark 10:46). He cried out: "Jesus, thou son of David, have mercy on me." Though the disciples cautioned him not to shout, that did not stop him. Christ gave him attention. Does that mean he was not aware of the man's blindness? He asked him "What wilt thou I shalt do unto thee?" He said: "Lord, that I may receive my sight," And he said "receive thy sight." And immediately he received his sight. (Mark 10:45-51) If the man had disagreed, do you think Christ's command that he should receive his sight would have worked? Faith works like magic. If all of you possess this faith all your problems will be over. When I told you that the war missiles produced by four powerful nations: France, Great Britain, America and Soviet Union, was for nought, nobody believed; now what happens? Are those war implements not a waste now? I stand on the high heavens and make this declaration to the world that there is no witch, wizard, apparition, mermaid, fetish, charm, juju, diabology, and man does not exist. Have you heard any challenge from any quarters? It is faithlessness that causes you to believe in these transitory things. There is nothing which can do any thing good to you.
Your father, mother and the government cannot do anything for you, but it is your faith which works wonders for you. Our Lord Jesus Christ said "whoever believeth and is baptized shall be saved;" (Mark 16:16) and that statement is firm. He further stated "And these signs shall follow them that believe; in my name shall they cast out demons; they shall speak in new tongues; they shall pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing it shall not hurt them; they shall place their hands on the sick and they shall recover." (Mark 16:17-18). Have these signs not followed you?
You have heard the testimony of that man who came from Italy, how he was ill and was taken to many hospitals in Italy and Paris, yet there was no cure. He was advised to return to Nigeria. On coming back, as soon as he was baptized into BCS his ailment was cured. Some of you are still going to hospitals and there are remnants of tablets in your bags; you are taking enema and going to the juju doctor, where lies your faith? How many people have heard this injunction or practiced it? Those who believe are not sick but those who disbelieve are still sick because of faithlessness. I am aware that all the inhabitants of the world are saved except a child of perdition.
That confirms the statement of our Lord Jesus Christ in John 17: 12. "… those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition that the scripture might be fulfilled." You cannot bestow faith on any person. Faith comes from the heart. When you believe in your heart you will have righteousness which will empower you to confess and receive salvation. Brethren I don't intend to overload you. Let our golden text be read.
Golden Text: Matthew 12:37
"For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned."
With Faith And Belief, All Is Well
Have you seen that? The Centurion said: "Speak the word only and my servant shall be healed," and it was fulfilled accordingly. As you believe in your heart that all is well, declare that all is well, and it will be fulfilled accordingly. But when you confess that things are not well with you, it will manifest as you have spoken. Some people maintain that God loves a group of people and hates the rest. Those who believe in Him, it is fulfilled unto them according to their measure of faith. Those who don't believe lack this luck because of faithlessness. Those from Biakpan take their bath in that Biakpan water at all times and their sicknesses are not cured. But all those who believe that immediately they bathe in that "wonderful" Biakpan water their problems will be over, once they do that their problems become solved.
A certain woman, while going to Biakpan, took with her a child (her own) who was sick, and at Asaka the child died. People dissuaded her from continuing the journey since there was no need going to Biakpan with the corpse of the child. The woman stood her grounds and continued the journey to Biakpan in spite of the tragic event. As soon as she reached the Biakpan community the child came back to life. Have you seen what faith can do? It is fulfilled unto you according to your measure of faith. It is with your words you are saved. If you allow good words to proceed out of your mouth; if you believe unto righteousness; if you confess what you believe then salvation has come to you. A great many people in Brotherhood believe in the existence of witch, fetish, juju, etc. but conclude that such shaky things cannot affect them. Others maintain that they are still being worried by wizard, incubus, apparition and diabology. Others concur what the Father says that there is no witch, wizard, fetish, mermaid, juju, charms, etc. and such persons are free. That fulfills the golden text: "By thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned." You don't get into this kingdom by anything or means but by faith. Therefore, let us believe and be faithful. You have troubled yourselves that much, whereas the Father, Son and Holy Spirit is at work with his angels, spirits, apostles and all the children of God. Why should you bother yourself instead of giving testimonies to glorify God. Now you are struggling hither, thither, complaining to be the bread-winner for yourself, that means you don't glorify God, you neither know Him nor have faith in Him.
Believe fervently that all the blessings bestowed on those at Imo State now, is equally bestowed on you; and those at Imo State have equally received the blessings bestowed on you now and the inhabitants of the world have also shared in the blessings equally. Everything boils down to the fact that all is well. When you believe and confess that all is well, know that all is well.
It is said that one stroke of the cane is sufficient to the wise. I don't intend to take you further. He who has ears let him hear. May God bless His holy words. Amen.
Thank You Father.

Muir Woods Welcomes the Coho / Marin watershed to be a safe haven
Recommended Video:
It began as a gift to the public and a memorial to John Muir, nature prophet of the Sierra. It grew into one of the nation's most popular parks, with 1.6 million visitors last year. Despite all that heavy foot traffic, it now is taking on a new mission -- Muir Woods is about to provide an answer to the "homelessness" problem afflicting California's coho salmon.
"It's the most exciting thing to happen here in a long time," says Mia Monroe, a spritely ranger at Muir Woods National Monument. This 544-acre grove of old- growth redwoods on the slopes of Mount Tamalpais has seen a lot, from its dedication ceremony in 1908, to hosting a session for the fledgling United Nations in 1945. Its new mission demonstrates a means of coexistence with nature for the 21st Century: The whole watershed of Muir Woods will become a school for "ecosystem management."
Some prime beneficiaries are the tiny, silver gleams that flit through shallows of Redwood Creek. You can see them as you stroll the paved trail from the Muir Woods Visitor Center. These tiny, darting gleams are young coho salmon fingerlings. After winter rainstorms breech the sandbar at Muir Beach, many people brave the wet and cold and wind to watch the adult coho return from the sea, fighting valiantly up the currents and rapids to spawning areas. The fingerlings -- unlike young coho in degraded coastal streams throughout the Pacific Northwest -- have a chance to thrive in healthy habitat, and a reasonable shot at survival.
"Most of this creek watershed, about six square miles, lies in national park and state park land," says Monroe. "To all intents and purposes, it's pristine, and has never been stocked. Our fish are all native, wild fish, which is unique.
"Still the Park Service has had to learn stuff about managing it. We used to clean out any trees that fell in. Now, we leave them, to create a more natural result: a meandering channel, undercut banks for fish refuge, and better gravel build-up."
This is all to the good, and as visitors stroll the Muir Woods pathways and cross the four footbridges over the creek, they can gain a good look and a better understanding of what a healthy North Coast stream should resemble.
But now the state and national park staffs, private landowners downstream and CalTrans have started an ambitious program to make it all much better. When the plan is completed -- sometime in 1999 -- a lagoon where Redwood Creek enters the sea at Muir Beach will be dredged out and restored, natural history kiosks will provide more detailed watershed information to visitors, better trails will be installed, and salmon and steelhead and a host of other creatures can return in strength to their native turf.
"Ecosystem management" is one of a trio of catch phrases, including "bioregionalism" and "re-inhabiting the land" that gained currency in the 1970s through the work of Peter Berg's Planet Drum Foundation, poet Gary Snyder and former state Resources Secretary Huey Johnson.
Today, the concept is also touted by current Resources Secretary Doug Wheeler and U.S. Secretary of the Interior Bruce Babbitt. They say managing a whole watershed or ecosystem for its overall health is the best way to keep wild creatures from winding up on an endangered species list. Biologists say that's true; the question is whether enough sound policy can be implemented before endangered species laws have to be applied.
Right now, this issue is core to a battle over coho salmon. In more than 200 California coastal streams, a half-million coho spawned in the 1940's; that number has now dropped to 5,000 or less. Four California legislators, including Senator Hayden, and Assemblymen Cortese, Sher and Hauser say it's time to list coho as endangered. Wheeler and the governor's office want to hold off while some overall watershed plans are devised. The problem is that we are years away from such plans being conceived, much less devised.
Meanwhile, ecosystem management is quietly happening along Redwood Creek. It's not some huge, expensive government program. Both the state Department of Parks and Recreation and the National Park Service are suffering from budget cutbacks and staff reductions. Muir Woods has just four rangers; only work by a force of 50 volunteers and interns keeps this crowded park open during summer.
The critical element is cooperation from private landowners downstream. A large contribution here comes from the Green Gulch Zen Center: 3-5 acres of bottom land, used in the past for hay-growing and livestock grazing. Once open lagoon, this land was filled-in by previous owners for agriculture. CalTrans (as mitigation for roadwork elsewhere) will dredge out the lagoon, restoring it as a rest area and habitat for coho, waterfowl and other species.
Green Gulch administrator Fu Schroeder stands above the valley by the Shoreline Highway where the Zen Center is nestled. Black sleeves of her monk's robe flutter in the breeze as she raises her hands to sculpt the forms of the land, and explain how things will be managed. Most of the 150 acres of the writhing green serpent of the valley will stay the same, including eight acres now farmed for organic produce. As far as she and the other meditators are concerned, a gift of some space back to wildlife is only right.
"We are very much interested in taking care of the land," Schroeder says. "It's like raising a child; one wishes to do it the healthiest way. Restoring a natural lagoon that is self-cleansing, and good for salmon and other animals sounds good to us."
Schroeder smiles broadly, her gray hair dances in the breeze. "Saving all beings is part of our heartfelt vows and beliefs."
Rangers at the Muir Woods National Monument say the least crowded time to visit is in "shoulder hours": before 10 a.m. and after 4 p.m. (In summer, the park is open until 8 p.m.). Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are the least busiest days. The park is in Marin County on Muir Woods Road, 2.5 miles from Shoreline Highway, or 1.5 miles from Panoramic.
The best hikes to see Redwood Creek and its tributary Fern Creek are: -- Main Trail Loop: One mile, paved and level, north from the main visitor center. -- Fern Creek Trail: Three miles long, this departs from the Main Trail Loop, and ascends to Camp Eastwood, a picnic spot. -- Bootjack Trail: Six miles round-trip, this trail ascends Redwood Creek from the Main Loop. It's closed for maintainence now but will open later this summer. -- Redwood Creek Trail: One-way, it's 3.5 miles from the visitor center to Muir Beach. (Hike a loop, or do an auto shuttle.)
For information about the new Ecosystem Management program: Muir Woods rangers offer seminars with Green Gulch Zen Center three times yearly. Call the park at 415-388-2596.
For bioregionalism information, call: the Planet Drum Foundation, 415- 285-6556; the Urban Creeks Council, 510- 540-6669; or the California State Resources Agency, 916-653-5656.

text: Nick Vinogradov - September 22, 2010 Only In America! For this Purple Heart veteran who spent 13 months in Iraq and was seriously wounded by a roadside bomb, the hunt he went on last January in Virginia for his first buck ever will be etched in his memory always! By Nick Vinogradov Twenty-three-year-old Army veteran Nick Vinogradov proudly shows off his trophy whitetail, taken on Jan. 1, 2009, on private property in Cumberland County, Virginia. Nick's "All-American" buck sported 18 points and grossed nearly 160 inches.In early December 2008, my brother Doug invited me to rifle hunt with him in Cumberland County, Virginia, over the New Year holidays. Doug lives in Chesapeake, Virginia, and we planned to hunt on property owned by Dr. Charlie Anderson. I had hunted there several times before back during the 2008 bow season. I'm primarily a bowhunter, and prior to this hunt, I had only been gun hunting twice in my life. I'm a 23-year-old Purple Heart veteran. I spent 13 months in Iraq during operation Iraqi Freedom. While there, my truck was hit by an IED. The explosion blew out my right eardrum and shot shrapnel through my right hand. I have 60 percent hearing loss in my right ear and constant ringing in both ears. I'm glad to be alive, and proud to be an American. Deer hunting has always been very important to me. Prior to the 2008 season, I'd been deer hunting for about 10 years. During that time, I'd hunted a number of states from New York to Florida and I'd never seen a live buck in the woods while in a stand. I spent many hours in tree stands and ground blinds, and I was beginning to think I was doing something wrong. Little did I now that all of that was about to change on New Year's Day 2009! I couldn't wait to tell my fiancée that I was going whitetail hunting with my brother. I don't think she was too happy since I planned to be gone over the holidays. Dr. Anderson has a beautiful piece of property. He has spent a lot of time clearing fields, planting food plots and even building bridges over creeks so that his guests can get to their stands easily and quietly. He has a great population of deer on his property. BRINGING IN A NEW YEARNinety percent of the people who hunt on the property are bowhunters, including myself. But on this late-season hunt we planned to use rifles. We arrived in Cumberland County on New Year's Eve. That night, while most people were out celebrating the last day of 2008, I was in bed at 9 p.m. We got up on New Year's morning and headed off to our stands. I had no idea where my brother was taking me. We drove down a dirt road and then through a small field. Doug parked the truck next to a power line right of way. We walked about 20 feet and he said, "There's your stand." With no questions asked, I climbed up into a ladder stand and waited for the sun to rise. When the sun came up, I turned around and could see the truck behind me. I thought, This isn't good. Certainly any deer in the area will see the truck and run the other way. I now live in Florida and I'm used to fairly warm weather. It was about 10 degrees on New Year's morning! I was freezing. I couldn't feel my toes or fingers. I sat in the stand for about two hours before I saw three does run across the top of the power line about 400 yards away. I couldn't get a shot on them, so I settled back down and continued my vigil. The author very nearly paid the ultimate price while serving in the Army in Iraq. Now that he's back home, he plans to finish college and do a lot more whitetail hunting!A half hour later Doug called me and asked me if I'd seen anything. I told him about the does. He climbed out of his tree stand, located several hundred yards up the power line, and headed toward the top of the hill to see if the does were feeding in a small food plot located there. I unhooked my safety belt and got ready to climb down to go and meet him, but that little vice inside told me to stay in the stand until Doug started walking back toward me.AN UNEXPECTED SIGHTAs soon as Doug crested the hill, I heard bushes moving to my left. I looked over, and all I could see was a huge set of antlers coming through the bushes about 50 yards away. I couldn't believe my eyes. This was the first antlered buck I had ever seen while deer hunting. Since I usually hunt with a bow, I wasn't prepared to shoot my rifle when the buck came out of the brush. I was hunting with a Savage .30-06 bolt-action. I brought the gun up and attempted to find the deer in my scope. It was clear that he did not like being in the open on the power line right of way. He had his head in a sneak position and he was moving fast. As soon as I got the cross hairs on the buck's shoulder, his head disappeared behind a tree. I knew it was now or never, so I squeezed the trigger. The buck went out of sight, but I could hear rustling in the leaves. I didn't know if the deer was down or if he was running away. Then all was silent.I called Doug and he asked me if I'd gotten a buck. I had already been shaking from being cold, but after the shot, it was uncontrollable. I told Doug that all I had seen was a wall of antlers coming off the deer's head. He told me to stay in my stand and that he was coming. I was too excited to stay in my stand. As soon as he started walking toward me, I climbed down and started looking for blood. Moments later I heard my brother whistle. I turned around and he was waving me over with a huge smile on his face.AN ALL-AMERICAN TROPHYI couldn't believe the size of my first buck ever! He had a total of 18 points over 1 inch long, 9 on each side. With over 16 inches in abnormal points, he grossed nearly 160 inches. In addition to all of the non-typical points that give the rack lots of character, the extra-long brow tines measured 8 1/4 inches and 11 inches in length. Also of note were the rack's heavy bases, measuring 5 4/8 inches on each side. I am now attending college in Florida, and I'm very proud of my service with the U.S. Army. Hunting whitetails has been a great way for me to adapt to civilian life again. It's also been great therapy. Never in a million years did I ever think I would shoot such a great buck.
