IF WE TRUE LOVE, TELL HIM

For all practical purposes, this message could just as well be torn and thrown away, for it is unfortunately rarely applied. We ask: When is the last time I went to see a brother and, in love, pointed out to him something in his conduct which harmed others or gravely disedified them? Few of us have courage to put into practice this teaching of Jesus. What we too often prefer doing is simple comment behind our brother's (sister's) back on his or her shortcoming; this is easier than facing the concerned party.

Realistic drawings look like photographs-k

To an untrained eye these pictures would look nothing more than standard photographs but it's not all black and white - they are in fact hand drawn. These are the works of 47-year-old hyperrealist artist Paul Cadden, who, often just using a pencil, is able to recreate photos in amazing detail.

Japan 'worst case tsunami' could reach 35-metres

A 35-metre (115-foot) tsunami could hit the Japanese coast in the wake of a massive earthquake, an expert panel has said after revising its worst case scenario projections following last year's disaster.
If a 9.0-magnitude quake struck in the Nankai Trough off central to western Japan huge swathes of the Pacific coastline could be inundated, with 20-metre-plus waves hitting areas from Tokyo down to the southwestern island of Kyushu.
At the town of Kuroshio in southwestern Kochi prefecture the tsunami could reach 34.4 metres -- the highest level projected under the scenario, the Cabinet Office panel said late Saturday.
