The Nieuwe Kerk (New church) was built between 1649 and 1656, as the first purpose-built Protestant place of worship in The Hague. When in the late Middle Ages The Hague's population grew, the Grote or St Jacobs Kerk (Large or St. Jacobs church) became too small. In the 17th century a new church was built by Pieter Noorwits next to the Spui canal, in the style of that time: Dutch-Classicism. The canal has disappeared, but the church still has a beautiful walled garden in which lies the tomb of Spinoza, the famous 17th century philosopher. Nowadays the church functions as a concert hall and a conference location: www.nieuwekerkdenhaag.nl (Dutch only).

In 1999 Festival Cruises delivered their first new build MS Mistral which was built by Chantiers de l'Atlantique. Her maiden cruise started on 17 July 1999, from Venice to the Greek islands.
Costa neoRiviera as Grand Mistral In Tallinn, June 2012
But following the collapse of Festival Cruises in 2004 most of its fleet was sold off including Mistral that was sold to Viajes Iberojet which was sometimes called Iberojet and the cruise line was owned by a company also named Iberojet. Mistral was renamed Grand Mistral. In 2007 Viajes Iberojet was sold to Carnival Corporation & plc and was renamed Ibero Cruises, the next year the Grand Mistral received the new Ibero Cruises livery and continued sailing for Ibero Cruises.
In 2013 Costa Crociere announced to transfer the Grand Mistral in late 2013, that meant that her 2013/2014 winter season had to be cancelled and passengers who booked on her future cruises were refunded.
Grand Mistral was retired from Ibero Cruises in November 2013. She was transferred to Costa Crociere and renamed to Costa neoRiviera, she was also given new voyages. Her itineraries will feature more overnight and unusual calls to ports, as a part of Costa's new project featuring their smaller ships. Costa Crociere invested 10 million euros into refurbishing Costa neoRiviera and into maintenance checkup of Costa neoClassica and Costa Voyager.

During Festival Classique 2007 the Brodsky Quartet and clarinettist Joan Enric Lluna gave a concert in the Nieuwe Kerk (New Church) in The Hague. The photo captures the moment just before the musicians start to play In Memoriam: For Those Who Fall in Times of War, written by composer Paul Barker at the time when the war in former Joegoslavia was at it's worst. With the Sarajevo Quartet in mind, three members of which died during this war, leaving only the cellist, Barker wrote this intensely moving work for the Brodsky Quartet and Joan Enric Lluna which they performed in a semi-theatrical setting directed by Stephen Clark.

Survival Seeds to Sow – Heirloom, GMO or Non-GMO
"Though I do not believe that a plant will spring up where no seed has been, I have great faith in a seed. Convince me that you have a seed there, and I am prepared to expect wonders." - Henry David Thoreau
As many are beginning to take interest in buying seeds in order to secure their future, there is confusion as to what type of seed to buy. With the different varieties available such as genetically modified (GMO), non-genetically modified (Non-GMO), and heirloom seeds, it is no wonder why there is such confusion.
In a survival situation, finding the right type of seeds that will offer vitamins and food security with reoccurring harvests will be of great importance for long term survival.
Food Security in Seeds
All seeds are good to have in order to grow food. However, there are certain types that are preferred seed varieties because they are better at sustaining long term survival. That being said, if a person is purchasing seeds for food security, then the seeds purchased should be heirloom open-pollinated or non-hybrid (non-GMO) quality.
Heirloom or Open Pollinated Seeds (Non-GMO)
Heirloom seed varities are an open pollinated seed developed before 1940. These type of seeds are bred for their flavor and not their durability while being shipped. Additionally, these types of seeds will produce fertile seeds that can be saved for subsequent growing seasons. This is the preferred seed variety that preppers and survivalists are storing as one of their long term survival items. These seeds are the ones that will continually produce viable seeds.
Genetically Modified Seeds (GMO)
Seeds from a genetically modified variety are a hybrid of two separate varieties that have different genetic make up from it’s parent plant. As the plant matures, the seeds produced from the plant will either be sterile, or start to revert back to the parent plants. Furthermore, the seeds that have been genetically modified have been so to be disease resistant, insect resistant, and drought resistant is some cases. However, these type of seeds are not good choices because while the seed is created a pesticide known as bacillus thuringiensis or BT, is created inside it in order to keep insects away. The reasoning behind this idea was to create more plentiful crops. The problem is that the finished product is a seed that holds pesticides inside it that will kill off any insects (even the beneficial insects). These are not the best choices for survival seeds due to the BT pesticide and the seed that is produced from the mature plant will be sterile.
In present time, Americans are struggling in the midst of a severe economic downturn and that makes us all feel a loss of control. Growing a garden helps us to gain back control over crucial basic needs, our financial and food security. Growing our own food rewards us in so many ways, all the way from eating healthy to saving on the grocery bill. Unfortunately many in America today do not get to experience the rewards of freshly grown food.
