ENGLAND’S Football Association (FA) celebrates 150 years since "the laws of the game" were agreed upon by a dozen clubs and schools at the Freemasons' Tavern in London in October 1863. Since then the game has spread across the globe, becoming the most popular sport, with over 250m players, from international superstars to children using jumpers for goalposts. Since the "laws" were promulgated, 209 countries and territories have formed national associations. Yet a saturation point was reached in the 1990s; since then only the newly formed countries of Timor-Leste and South Sudan have added associations. Greenland's FA hopes its artificial pitches will allow it to join FIFA (the Fédération Internationale de Football Association, itself founded in 1904) in the near future.

Persecuting Christians in Africa – How the Message Gets Out

Muslims and Christians Rally Together Against Persecution in Pakistan
One month ago, over 100 Christians were killed in a twin suicide attack on All Saints Church in Pakistan's northwestern city of Peshawar. This attack marks the single most deadly attack on Christians in Pakistan's history and has many in the country wondering about the fate of the religious minority in the face of such violent extremism. One group's answer to this question has been positive, preaching a message of unity and equality. Outside of a church in Lahore, Christians and Muslims together demonstrated against religious intolerance by forming a human chain around the church while mass was being conducted inside. Please pray for the success of movements such as this in Pakistan and hope for a brighter future for Christians living there.

Keep Your Vegetables Crispy
If you want the vegetables in your crisper or similar storage to truly be crispy, either line your crisper drawers with paper towel or insert some manner of large desiccant, such as large silica gel packets within a permeable container, in your crisper. Change out the paper towel as soon as it is damp. The desiccant should last far longer. The more moisture that is absorbed from where you're keeping your vegetables, the more crispy they will remain. This also prevents any mold or mildew from forming as well.

Fruits and vegetables are unquestionably essential to a healthful diet. But there's another side to some of these plants that, thankfully, most people never see: the tiny amounts of toxins within them. The minute amounts of poison found in many seeds, leaves and roots are the result of the protracted arms race between plants and the animals that try to eat them. It's the reason why you've never shelled a cashew (the shells might make you break out in a poison ivy-style rash) or eaten green potato fries.

Thanks to mobile devices and monitoring software, managers are able to track workers more closely than ever. Some even use GPS software installed on smartphones to track workers' locations. No federal statutes restrict the use of GPS by employers, nor force them to disclose whether they are using it. Only two states, Delaware and Connecticut, require employers to tell workers that their electronic communications—anything from emails to instant messages to texts—are being monitored.
