For his further act, Labuschagne subbed in for Smith in a Lord's Test match, replaced him at Headingley and complemented him in the final two Tests as Australia kept hold of the Ashes.
Cricket is full of odd couples, but the oddest thing about this couple is that they were to all intents, purposes and tics identical.
It was one thing Labuschagne idolised Smith and imitated his idiosyncrasies, another that he had the wherewithal to make hard-earned runs alongside him, another still that he bobbed up with a vital wicket here and there as Smith once did. Labuschagne was all things to all men, but as was becoming clear, within him was his own man.
Still a doubt remain, an itch not scratched. Labuschagne had compiled five increasingly authoritative half-centuries, but not yet crested 100. It is such a sacred number that until a batsman achieves it, he can never be sure that he has one within him. It's like wannabe authors and books.
So an hour into Saturday's play, the stage was set. Naseem Shah had come back from the repechage to dismiss David Warner, a jolting short ball doing the trick. Run-cruncher Warner, attacked at last from around the wicket a la England, had added only three in an hour. Every day of Test cricket is played in a new key.
Then Smith hit around a Yasir Shah leg-break and was bowled. It would be wrong to say it was an atypical Smith shot, right that it was an atypical outcome. Having spent so long fidgeting in the change rooms, Smith had no more fiddle for the middle. Here was the flaw in Paine's philosophy! Smith and Warner had contributed seven between them this day. Remember it for future trivia quizzes.
Labuschagne, meantime, had started on 55 and built fluently on it, with a bat broken in just that morning and an outlook recharged every morning. Even in his batsmanship, Labuschagne plays roles. When he set in the lower middle order, it had a willing but rough cast. Since assuming the No.3 position, he has increasingly batted with that post's requisite authority and polish.
This day he added another stripe. There was no ball that had the measure of him. He left, drove and pulled on his terms, but with Smith's waggle, for effect. As for a couple of his straight drives, Ricky Ponting would have traded for them.
Of course it helped that this was Australia's second day of batting, not first, that it was already hundreds of runs to the good, and that Pakistan, although more focused and persevering than on Friday, had upon them the mark of a beaten team. Oddly, Naseem, despite besting Warner, bowled only four overs in the first two sessions. Technically, the Pakistanis still presented problems to solve, but outside Test cricket's usual psychological press. The tired top-order topple at day's end was all too easy to forsee.
In the nineties, hope, fear, expectation and longing swirled around Labuschagne, and no amount of gum-chewing could keep them at bay. A false lbw reading cannot have helped, though it was quickly corrected on DRS. At last a thick edge brought deliverance. It was not how Labuschagne envisaged reaching his first hundred, and it meant he forgot entirely how he meant to celebrate. Even in this Labuschagne charmed.
Now it was time to cash in. Matt Wade joined him, bringing his own brand of ultra-cricket in which he wields his bat like a stave, and Labuschagne expanded, unveiling a Stan McCabe late cut and a paddle sweep that would have caused McCabe to turn in his grave. Pakistan's spirit did not fail – evidenced by wicketkeeper Rizwans's chase to make a boundary save and two smart catches standing up – but they ran out of resources. For Australia, this was bonus territory. One might tritely offer that Labuschagne will face many greater trials than this in Test cricket, except that he already has.
Still Labuschagne had only one mind. Asked after the fall of Travis Head about tactics, he said: "I'll just bat." In the quest for declaration runs, an idea formed: if one hundred, why not two? He was under-studying Smith, remember? But after six hours, he sent a weary slash to gully, then leant over his bat, hoping and praying like a true Australian for a no-ball call. It was to no avail. Nobly, every Pakistani shook his hand, non-striker and incoming bat patted him on the back and the Gabba figuratively chaired him off. Henceforth, Marnus Labuschange is no one's dummy.

(AllHipHop News) There seems to be a lot of confusion taking place among R. Kelly's current public relations team. Last week, a statement was released on behalf of R. Kelly Tours which quoted Kelly saying the media was trying "to distort my character and to destroy my legacy that I have worked so hard to build."
However, the singer's managers are disavowing those words because the statement was apparently unauthorized. The May 4 email including the "distort and destroy" response was sent by someone named Katie Thompson, and Kelly's management acknowledged Thompson may indeed work for the 51-year-old Chicago native.
Robert Kelly, the self-described Pied Piper of R&B, has faced accusations of pedophilia and sexual misconduct for over two decades. This year has seen the rise of the #MuteRKelly campaign which picked up a co-sign from the Times Up movement's Women Of Color group.
Further attention was placed on the multiple allegations against Kelly after a 2017 Buzzfeed exposé claimed the Grammy winner was holding women against their will as part of a "sex cult." Since that time, more alleged victims - some said to have been underage at the time of contact - have come forward to unmask Kelly's supposed abusive behavior.
R. Kelly has repeatedly denied engaging in any illegal sexual activity or abuse. In 2008, he was found not guilty of child pornography charges.

Major non-life insurers are found to have increased marketing fees to boost market capitalization, raising concerns that consumers will end up shouldering the costs in the form of increased premiums.
The collective move comes ahead of implementation of revised insurance policies set to take effect 2021, after which the firms will no longer be able to spend as much on per-contract incentives for sales agents, better known as general agency officials.
According to General Insurance Association of Korea, the nation's 31 non-life insurers spent over a combined 7.2 trillion won ($5.9 billion) in marketing fees in the first five months of 2019, a 6.4 percent increase from a year earlier.
Of them, the top 10 industry players spent over 6.5 trillion won, up 7.6 percent from the year before.
They saw a subsequent increase in marketing fee rate ― the rate of marketing fees spent from the companies' premium income.
The 31 non-life insurers' average marketing fee rate jumped to 21.5 percent, up 0.6 percentage points from a year earlier.
The top 10 players' rate increased to 22.1 percent, up 0.9 percentage points from a year earlier. The jump raised an alarm because it exceeds 22 percent, the market-appropriate rate.
Those whose rate was over 22 percent included MG, DB, Hanwha and Heungkuk. Samsung and Hyundai saw their rates jump to 20.9 and 21, respectively.
Meritz Fire & Marine Insurance has seen the rate jump the highest ― to 28.7 percent in the first half of 2019.
The jump came as they allocated 873.6 billion won in marketing fees in the January-May period in 2019, up about 24 percent from 704.3 billion won a year earlier.
The move has helped the fast-rising mid-tier firm see 78 billion won in sales derived from new contracts in the first half of 2019, a 33 percent increase from a year earlier.
The fees, spent on landing new subscriptions of insurance products involving pets and dementia, were much-needed as the long-term products will help the firm with steady profit.
Competition will become fiercer in the coming months to land as many new customers as possible, ahead of the insurance policy revision which has put a ceiling on the commissions taken by general agency officials.
"Staring January 2021, general agency officials ― the performance-based, insurers-hired marketers ― will not be able to charge as much commission fees as they do now, a reason that could further drive up the competition," said an official at the Korea Insurance Research Institute.
The measure outlined by the Financial Services Commission (FSC), seeks to eliminate "fraudulent contracts," created by the officials who can pocket the difference between the monthly premiums and up to 17 times the commissions they charge.

Company Press Release
Fidelity Investments and BELL Bring �Stock Market 101� to Boston Middle School Students This Summer
Students Analyze and Recommend Stocks as Part of BELL�s Summer Learning Program
BOSTON--BELL� (Building Educated Leaders for Life�), a leader in summer learning and afterschool programs, has partnered with Fidelity Investments to create the �Stock Market 101� program, which is designed to teach rising sixth- and seventh-grade �scholars� in the BELL Summer program the fundamentals of the economy and the investment market. The program is one of several components of Fidelity�s ongoing support for BELL.
Every Thursday throughout the summer, BELL scholars at the Mattahunt School in the Boston community of Mattapan attended the Stock Market 101 course with mentors at Fidelity Investments, where they received basic lessons on the stock market, the economy, the life-cycle of a trade, fundamental stock analysis, as well as technical analysis and review of stocks. During the six-week program, scholars put to use their new skills by choosing a stock to follow and analyze.
The program concludes on August 13, when the scholars will share their research and analysis with their parents and their mentors and executives at Fidelity. Scholars will use graphs and PowerPoint presentations to support their recommendation to buy, hold or sell their chosen stock, based on what they have learned during the program.
�In addition to helping scholars develop basic financial literacy skills, the Fidelity Stock Market 101 program helps to open the scholars� eyes to exciting career paths,� said BELL CEO Tiffany Cooper Gueye. �As a result, scholars can now envision themselves someday having a job on Wall Street, which instills in them the desire to set and achieve ambitious goals in life.�
�The rigor of the Stock Market course helps the scholars build a range of broadly applicable skills: judgment, decision-making, communication, analysis, team building, organizational and presentation skills, and a basic understanding of how the U.S. economy works,� said Sheila Cavanaugh, senior vice president of Community Relations at Fidelity. �These skills will travel with the scholars beyond their summer at Fidelity.�
As a leader in summer learning, BELL is serving more than 3,200 scholars this summer in seven cities. The award-winning program provides rigorous and robust literacy and math instruction, mentoring and social enrichment activities, as well as educational field trips and community service projects. BELL Summer was cited in President Barack Obama�s 2005 STEP-UP legislation as a model summer learning program, and was also part of a June 2009 Presidential event recognizing innovative programs that are transforming communities across the nation.
On average, scholars in the BELL Summer program gain three months of academic skills�as opposed to backsliding three months, as many students do during the summer. In addition, scholars cut their achievement gap in reading by 50 percent during the program.

February 2015 17:35 by WHCOA Staff | 0 Comments The Tampa White House Conference on Aging Regional Forum, held on February 19, 2015, was the first in a series of 2015 White House Conference on Aging forums. These regional forums are co-sponsored by AARP and are being planned in coordination with the Leadership Council of Aging Organizations, a coalition of more than 70 of the nation's leading organizations serving older Americans. Over 200 older adults, caregivers, advocates, community leaders, and experts in the field of aging attended the Tampa Regional Forum. The forum featured remarks by U.S. Congresswoman Kathy Castor (FL-14); Sam Verghese, Secretary, Florida Department of Elder Affairs; Bob Buckhorn, Mayor, City of Tampa, FL; and Jeannine English, President, AARP.Cecilia Muñoz, Assistant to the President and Director of the White House Domestic Policy Council, delivered the keynote address. Director Munoz's speech highlighted the themes of the 2015 White House Conference on Aging and the importance of having this national conversation about advancing the quality of life for older Americans in the coming decade. The forum included two moderated expert panels. The first panel focused on the themes of healthy aging and long-term services and supports. Nora Super, Executive Director of the 2015 White House Conference on Aging served as moderator. Panelists included: Dr. Martha Pelaez, Director, Health Foundation of South Florida; Dr. Anand Parekh , Deputy Assistant Secretary for Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services; Dr. Naushira Pandya, Professor and Chair, Department of Geriatrics, Nova Southeastern University; and Linda Levin, Executive Director, ElderSource. The panelists explored a range of issues, including the foundational elements of healthy aging and the opportunities for cross-sector collaboration to address the complexities of long-term care.The second expert panel looked at the topics of elder justice and retirement security and was moderated by Nancy LeaMond, Executive Vice President, State and National Group, AARP. Panelists included: Rebecca Morgan, J.D., Chair, Elder Law and Director, Center for Excellence in Elder Law, Stetson Law School; Patty Ducayet, Texas State Long-term Care Ombudsman and President, National Association of State Long-term Care Ombudsman Programs; Dr. Jack VanDerhei, Director, Employee Benefit Research Institute; and Vickie Elisa, Board President, Mothers' Voices Georgia. The panelists noted the significance of both the Elder Justice Act and the recent federal rule regarding States' Long-Term Care Ombudsman programs. Panelists also discussed the key factors for a secure retirement and the need to expand opportunities for Americans of all ages to invest in their futures. In the afternoon, attendees participated in breakout sessions to discuss each of the four topic areas (healthy aging, long-term services and supports, elder justice, and retirement security,). Forum attendees brainstormed individually and as a group, providing their thoughts on the most important priorities, challenges, and possible solutions related to these issue areas. Kathy Greenlee, Assistant Secretary for Aging, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services then moderated a discussion between representatives from each of the breakout sessions. The ideas that were discussed in the breakout groups were shared, and cross-cutting themes were identified. These discussions will help inform our work going forward.

This is the fifth in a series of blogs, published every other week, about my writing process. Now I have (as you may have read over the past few weeks) a completed first draft that I have read through and revised several times. I've cut out sections that don't add to my narrative and perhaps added a few that clarify my story. It's time for the most exhausting day of my process. Whenever I've completed a fresh draft that includes significant revisions, I like to sit down and read the entire manuscript in one day. The last time I did this I started at 9:00 in the morning and finished about 10:30 that night, pausing only for a couple of phone calls and to feed the dog (and to a certain extent, myself).
In the Beginning
I returned to my boarding school recently to spend a day as visiting writer, talking with boys about the writing process, the writing business, and my novel The Bookman's Tale, which some of the classes had read. The imminent trip made me go digging through a file of old high school English papers and I found that I still have a paper to which I frequently refer when talking to groups about The Bookman's Tale.
My Writing Process IV: The First Revision
This is the fourth in a series of every-other-week blogs about my writing process. Once I have a completed first draft it's time to go back through and see if the book makes sense. Because of the scope of the task of writing a novel, inevitably I will forget about things as I progress through a draft. I will find that I have started plot threads that I never completed, introduced inconsistencies, and often written long passages that, helpful though they may have been to me at the time, are not really contributing to the book.
My Writing Process III: The First Draft
This is the third in a series of blogs inspired by book clubs' asking me questions about my writing process. As I said in the first entry, I am not one of those writers who prepares a complete outline before starting a rough draft, but neither am I a writer who just sits down and starts writing to see what will happen. I fall somewhere in between. I have a general idea of where I am going and whom I am going with when I sit down to start that first full draft, but a lot of the details, and sometimes even some major plot points, are discovered along the way.
My Writing Process II: Research
This is the second in a series of blogs inspired by book clubs' asking me questions about my writing process. Last week I wrote about the thinking process that goes on before I actually sit down to write—a process that can take several months or longer. Today, I'd like to address a particular part of that process—research. Many of my books have a historical element and some characters based on real people (William Shakespeare in The Bookman's Tale or Jane Austen in First Impressions, for example). Before I write these people and the places they are associated with, I want to find out a little (but not too much) about them.
My Writing Process I: Pre-Writing
Since I just sent the manuscript of my latest novel to my agent, I thought I would begin today a series of blogs about my writing process. To keep some variety in my blogs, I'll post to this series every other week for the next several weeks. When I meet with book clubs (whether over the phone or in person) questions about my process always come up. While I can't tell you what is the best way for you to write a novel—because everyone works differently—I can tell you a little bit about my process.
Not All Sculpture Shows Are Alike
Last week I wrote a little about my inspiration for my upcoming novel about books, love, and Jane Austen, First Impressions. Now I'd like to point out that, just because you see and event or a house in the text that reminds you of something from my life, it doesn't mean I am writing about you in the book. Case in point. In the early pages of First Impressions, Sophie's mother hosts a sculpture show in her garden. The show is described like this:
Writing Jane Austen
A few months before my first novel with a major publisher came out, I was having lunch with three other writers, two of whom had written historical novels. Melanie Benjamin is the author of Alice I Have Been and The Aviator's Wife and Erika Robuck is the author of Call Me Zelda and Hemingway's Girl. My book, The Bookman's Tale, like books by Melanie and Erika, features historical figures as characters—particularly William Shakespeare. Not surprisingly we fell into a conversation about writing real people as characters in works of fiction.

TRANMERE Rovers Reserves extended their lead at the top of Pontin's Holidays League Division One West to four points with a hard-earned 1-0 victory over Rochdale at Prenton Park last night.
The only goal came in the first minute when Craig Curran reacted best to a long ball to fire past Lloyd Rigby.
Steve Jennings and Calvin Zola got in other good first half efforts for the home side but it was never clear cut against dogged opponents who always threatened an equaliser.
John Achterberg, back after an ankle injury, completed the full 90 minutes. He was the busier keeper overall and made a couple of decent saves.
TRANMERE ROVERS RES: >Achterberg, Holmes, Cresswell, McGarry, Jones, Ferguson, Curran, Jennings, Zola, Henry, Beahon. Subs: Blundell, McWeeney, Gornell, Roberts.

I used to think that I needed to go to an all-natural diet. Raw, organic, locally sourced – I was sold on this idea. Even better – go ahead and dig up my front yard and put in some beets and carrots. Train some beans to grow up the maple tree. What a great idea! I could feel connected to the Earth and know where my food is coming from. Plenty of people are getting "homesteading" books these days. Folks are either afraid of pesticides or genetically modified foods. The terrors are there – they are real. Lab rats prove to us that you shouldn't mess with Mother Nature. Or they want to grow their own food to help out with the grocery bill. It is always cheaper to do it yourself, you know.
But I'm a terrible gardener. I don't know what to feed my plants. I over water or under water. I don't know what plants need shade, and what parts of my yard have shade all day. I also work all day long – by the time I have time to work on the yard it is dark outside. And even though I was raised by a Mom who loved to garden, she didn't teach me a single thing about it. Sure, I could look things up – I have a library and I know how to use it. Sure, I could ask friends to show me how.
But I don't think that is the point. I don't have to do it all. I don't have to grow my own food. I don't have to sew my own clothes. I don't have to repair my own car. I think that we all benefit when we are interdependent. It is through our common efforts that we are able to live the life that we have. Not growing my own food gives me the time to create jewelry. Not sewing my own clothes gives me time to write. Not repairing my own car gives me time to read books that inspire me.
Then I started to think that all-natural was closer to the way God intended it. No artificial stuff for me. The more mankind gets involved in something , the further away from real it gets. So wear cotton or linen, no rayon. Eat sugar and butter, not aspartame or margarine. If you can't pronounce the ingredients on the label, don't eat it. In general, this is a good plan. Michael Pollan says in his book Food Rules this basic truth. "Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants." By "food" he means non-processed. Eat foods your grandmother would recognize as food. Cheese is better than Cheese-Wiz. Eat foods that are plants, not foods that came from a (manufacturing) plant.
So now I'm back to the beginning.
Then one day I went to visit a friend. I had been running late, so I hadn't had my coffee. My friend offered me tea and I happily accepted. But she served it to me in a Styrofoam cup. My "all-natural" side raised an eyebrow. My "recycling" side raised the other eyebrow. I was a little freaked out.
And then I remembered some things.
Buddhist monks don't eat meat – but if they go to visit someone at their home and are served a meal with meat, they will eat it. They eat it out of respect for the fact that it is a gift that is given to them. They eat it because no good will be done by not eating it. The animal is already dead. Refusing to eat this meal will not restore the animal.
And I remembered something from Madeline L'Engle. She wrote a book called "Walking on Water". It is about what it means to be a Christian artist. She says that it is essential to be a co-creator with God. She says that God created humankind as participants. We are His hands and His feet – we are created, and we are creators. I've heard similar ideas in a Jewish podcast that I enjoy listening to. It is called "Spiritual Tools for an Outrageous World" and it is by David Sacks.
Perhaps the biggest thing that came to mind was something I read in a pamphlet on Eucharistic adoration by Daniel Connors. He said in one of the prayers that it is amazing that Jesus chooses to reveal Himself to us in bread and wine. "…they do not exist without God and human beings./Even the wheat and grapes they come from/ do not occur naturally,/ but are the product of human cultivation." He goes on to say "You are fully God and fully human./ How wise you were to choose to be present to us in a form that cannot exist/ without God and human beings/ both doing their part."
So I sat and drank my tea in the Styrofoam cup, comforted by the teachings of my Buddhist and Episcopal and Jewish and Catholic friends in spirit. It was good.

This is a heartwarming story of a grandfather's extraordinary gift of life.
The Shining Moment (with music) Script
Order Now
This is a heartwarming story of a grandfather's extraordinary gift of life. Many turn-of-the-20th-century songs such as By the Light of the Silvery Moon and The Good Old Summer Time enhance the magic. Grandpa remembers his shining moment in 1910, the year of Halley's comet. As his life comes to an end, he seeks to pass on the glory of that moment to his grandson. Set on an Ohio farm, the play introduces two children; William Henry and his tomboy cousin, Ally. They learn about friendship and maturity as Grandpa's shining moment becomes clear with a bittersweet ending. Production notes are available in the script containing details on costumes, set, characterization and music. One set. Costumes: from the 1890s in the American Midwest. Approximate running time: 60 minutes.

Since I own one, I spend a lot of time in the 04-05 600/750 forum. I also see a lot of the same complaints over bikes lacking power up top. If you don't have an STVA code, this points to a fuel delivery problem. Most people want to do a pressure test, which isn't a bad thing, but the tools to do so aren't really cheap. The timed delivery test is one that you can do in your garage for less than $20. This test is super easy. In this example, I'm using my 2005 GSX-R600.

The handicraft items always hold the same importance as people learnt this art and passed it on to future generations. The handicrafts industry was highly supported by the Swadeshi movement. It gave them an opportunity to earn money besides learning the art. During this period, the handicrafts industry reached its peak. Handicrafts are flourished in rural areas but are not a…Read More

ORLANDO - There's usually a moment at the beginning of each week when Central Florida assistant coach Tim Salem will address the offense and deliver a passionate, piercing speech to motivate players. Not this week.
Not necessary.
The Knights (5-2, 3-0) host East Carolina (5-2, 4-0) today in a matchup featuring the last three Conference USA champions, and the winner will take a huge step toward representing the East Division in this year's title game.
"Coach loves to talk and hype us up and stuff like that," UCF offensive lineman Nick Pieschel said of Salem. "But all he said was, 'I don't need to say anything this week."'
Enough said.
Barring a major collapse from either side, the loser will almost surely be eliminated from contention for the conference championship. And as if there wasn't enough at stake with the only teams still undefeated in Conference USA play, UCF's senior class has never beaten the Pirates.
The Knights have lost the last four meetings and are a 1-8 in the series.
"I've been here for five years and have never gotten a victory over East Carolina. That's not something I want to leave here without doing," Knights linebacker Chance Henderson said. "I think that's something that everybody wants to get, to have that feeling of retribution."
Standing in their way is a revamped Pirates team with the same winning ways.
Even with a new coaching staff, new schemes and new faces in key positions, first-year coach Ruffin McNeill has kept the Pirates moving forward. And suddenly defending those back-to-back conference championships seems within reach.
The Pirates have won 10 straight against league opponents, including last season's win against Houston in the title game. They also have a big win this season against North Carolina State - the same team that defeated UCF in Orlando this season - and are off to the best start in league play since winning their first five games in 2001.
The toughest test yet for the Pirates might be today against a UCF team that has been waiting for this game all season.

June 9, 2012
FINALLY! You saw our Interview with Wonder Girls and our Interview with Sistar. Here, at last, is our Interview with MBLAQ. Yay! No more people emailing and tweeting us every day asking when the video will be up!
We put the interviews out in this order to be fair, since they were the last group that we interviewed in a totally freaking hectic day. It was a good hectic, of course, but an exhausting one. If you haven't seen our Behind the Scenes with Wonder Girls, Sistar, and MBLAQ video, then check that out. That was all in one day. All of the interviews happened within, like, three hours. We ran from the Wonder Girls from YouTube Headquarters in San Bruno over to our Sistar live chat in Google Headquarters in Mountain View. While running in the parking lot to get to Sistar, we saw MBLAQ sitting in the parking lot, but didn't even have a chance to say hi. Then, when we finished with Sistar, we ran downstairs to interview MBLAQ. BOOM!
We were exhausted by the end of it all, but didn't feel it, mostly because everyone that we were interviewing were a lot more exhausted than we were. Hell: all we had to do was just sit down and chat with them. They, on the other hand, had to sit down and chat with us AND plan for, you know, a HUGE FREAKING CONCERT the next day. So, yeah, we're all a bit dead. We're glad that they agreed to our CRY skit, though. Ha! That was…embarrassing and awkward (but when are we NOT embarrassing and awkward? That just how we roll!).
We had another skit planned with them that would have been epic, but we didn't have the time to do. We were going to start off the interview by telling MBLAQ that we had asked you all to submit your questions to MBLAQ, which you did, when we announced that we were going to the Google Kpop Concert. Then we'd say that we printed out some of the questions, at which point we'd pull out a ridiculous stack of papers. Then we'd read the first page like "Susan from Alabama asks 'Dear MBLAQ. PLEASE MARRY ME!'" We'd then apologize for the awkward question, and then move on to the second question, which would ask for them to take their shirts off. Then we'd look at the third question and not even read it since it's OOOOH SO NASTY. We'd flip through the huge stack of papers while MBLAQ would look around awkwardly. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN PERFECT! But we didn't have time to do both that skit AND the Cry skit, so we stuck with the easier one. Yay!
But wait…didn't we say something about MBLAQ signed CDs?
And, yes, you saw that right. MBLAQ wrote their names all over their CDs. They touched those CDs, breathed on those CDs. Some of them even licked the CDs! That last part is not true. Anyhow, for those of you who want us to give you an autographed MBLAQ CD, here's what you gotta do.

I fall in love in MBLAQ when I saw them in the music video "cry and stay". It was the songs i heard after not listening to kpop in a year and it made me fall in love with South Korea again!♥♥
I have been a fan of MBLAQ ever since seeing their music video: Mona Lisa. Every K-Pop group is special in their own way. However, I really liked the choreography and music coming from MBLAQ. Their music videos were really one of a kind and I love them! I haven't been a fan for a long time like many others out there, but I still adore them nonetheless ^^. MBLAQ is really one of a kind and I will always be a fan of them.
After watching some of their music videos, I began watching them on Sesame Player & Hello Baby :)! They are so funny and cute off stage which makes me love them even more ^^. It's amazing how they can be so cute and be so serious and charismatic in their MVs. They are so entertaining to watch and they never fail to put a smile onto my face. I love everything about them, even their flaws like Mir's engrish xD. I've never actually been to a MBLAQ concert or any K-Pop concert to be exact (mom :/) but I still watch their music videos and shows that they appear on when I get the chance. So I support them… from my computer… TT_TT Honestly, there are so many good things I can say about MBLAQ >A<!!
I don't really have anything K-Pop related atm. but plan on getting some later. I subscribed to your three Youtube channels too. I love your K-Pop Music Mondays :D. It would be great if I could win a CD though *^*. Thank you Simon and Martina for being kind enough to give away free CDs! You guys make awesome videos. I know a lot of other people are probably dying for one too. Good luck to everyone! <3

is anything bad gonna happen?

I fell in love with mblaq, because.. one day one of my best friend told me about them and I was like .. o yeah sure, maybe other time, in that time i always ignore her about k-pop music, soooo one day she was botherme and I was like me:"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGG stop okay I´ll do it ¬¬#"friend: *u* you will love them and blah blah blahme: o yeah sure, ¬¬ -sarcastic–looking the video of mona lisa -me: o my that one – seungho- have hoot lips, and the other one it have a good looking -G.O-friend: I know *3* and you will help me to rape them and asdasadadasdame: o_O?——Now a days I see, all programs they act, or participate and any videos, they have.I love seungho, when he is playung piano, is sooooo beautiful, and paceful.Mir, its so hug-able (?) and I want to bite him -good mood-G.O, have a sdasasda *///* his voice its so good Joon, is joon, it have a beutiful smile, its a good dancer and a special guy who take care about the others.. some times… and its sooo hot! and funny xD Thunder: Ilove him because he want to act.. like a man, but he have a cute pose… pd:sorry about my poor u_u english.
My sister kept on playing "전젱이야" all over again on the laptop until the time came that I became curious of who they really are~ then she told me they're MBLAQ. And I was OHH! I know them! I actually thought they're just another Kpop group who debuted with the same concept as others (most probably cute concept) before so I hate myself for not listening to their songs in the first place. Since then, I started loving their songs from their first to the latest. I watched their videos (including M/Vs, variety shows, and guestings) on YouTube because of so much interest on knowing them more…
I say I'm not an A+ from the time they made their debut, but being an A+ is truly in the heart of an individual fangirl who supports MBLAQ all the way.
They're very dedicated, open, and true to their fans showing who they really are (like showing their true emotions even on-cam (when Joon got pranked) or their dorky and funny attitude [Mir's funny Engrish/Seungho's dark clouds/Joon's ripped pants]), which makes me love them more and more. I felt more connection from them than other groups because they aren't denying but they explain what happened when there are misunderstandings about them, and most especially they tell/show what they feel whole-heartedly.
MBLAQ isn't #1 on the KPOP society, but they'll always be #1 on A+'s hearts!
Thank you Eat Your Kimchi for this chance! ^^~

I fell in love with MBLAQ when I watched their 'MBLAQ 깨알 플레이어' show. What made me fall in love with them is how real and comfortable they are in that show, and also how close they are in that show. Aside from that, I like how friendly they are, how hard working they are, how united they are. I also like how they like kids! They looked really cute and happy with the kids in 'Hello Baby'. I also like their passion for music. I like how serious and concentrated they are when they're on stage but off stage, they're dorky, friendly, warm and humble towards not only each other. I also like how talented they all are! And I also like how they include their parents in when they talk. I also like how caring they are towards not only each other.

I've always known about MBLAQ, only fell in love when I watched their goodbye stage for "I Don't Know". Their personalities during the performance really shone through. & I feel deeply in love with MBLAQ when I watched "Hello Baby."
YT username: argieshines
I first heard on MBLAQ through you guys on kpop music mondays when you reviewed Mona Lisa. i did like the song but i didnt know much about the group to love them right away.so i started to watch some more music videos they had and grew to like their music more.I grew to love MBLAQ more as musicians through this process of just listening to their music and watching their videos.i also grew to love them as a group of individuals seeing them on programs and different shows they would go on.they have become on of my top kpop groups because they are such great performers and are just awesome all around guys.

MBLAQ first caught my attention when I saw them on Super Junior Miracle Show. They were really humble and charming so I was just curious. I fell in love with them the moment I watched their debut music video. They were the kind of group that seemed to break every stereotype I had of idols at the time. Having been new to K-pop and only knowing SS501 and Super Junior, I was under the impression that idol groups were full of pretty flower boys that could do aegyo and perform fanservice. When I watched Oh Yeah, I thought they had to be the most badass mofos to every hit K-pop. I was actually a little intimidated by them. They seemed like a bunch of tough guys who would beat you up if you just looked at them the wrong way. Then I watched them on their variety show Idol Army. MIND BLOWN. They didn't seem like tough guys to me anymore. They were just batshit insane. And THAT is why they're my bias. A+ forever!
When I saw this, my jaw literally went slack. Watching the interview, I think I was just squealing and crying (heh, Cry, get it?) The main reason I love MBLAQ because they're the first group to get me interested in K-pop <3 I clicked on a K-pop mash-up which I ended up liking a lot, so I decided to search up each and every song separately (I believe there was 37 xD). "Oh Yeah" was the first one and I played it over and over and over again for the next few days and forced my friends to watch the video (they were not nearly as impressed as I was, unfortunately :d) I eventually searched up their shows and watched them as well ('Art of Seduction' was my first Korean show). I fell in love with their personalities and not just their music, and then I got to watch them grow up and now they've even been fathers! (Hello Baby<3) allofmymblaqfeels uhh
I think they're really sweet people, I love their music and I'll be their fan forever :) They've introduced me into the wonderful world of K-pop and Korean culture (I used to think Korean boys were ugly, haha, I only liked Japanese boys). I've found so much because of them, and I still love them soooooo much :3 So, they pretty much mean a lot to me. If I got a CD signed by them, I'd probably cry disgustingly all over it, which I realize isn't a very good incentive to get you to send it to me, but maybe you'll appreciate my love~
(appreciate it!! …please~!)
Thanks a whole bunch!

P.S. I really love you, Simon and Martina! Y'all crack me up to no end :D say hi to Spudgy for me~
What made me fall in love with MBLAQ you ask?
G.O. mustache **le me watching my first ever MBLAQ video 3 years ago**MBLAQ: Yo! Amigos!Me: WUUUUUUUT spanish in kpop!?!?! inconceiBUBBLE!
**G.O.'s mustache parades in front of me**G.O.: Are you ready my fellas?!
Me: WUUUUUUUT facial hair in a boy band?!?!?!?! impossiBRUUUUUUU!!!!!
Firstly, i would like to thank you for the interview, it was really great, as an international fan, i'm thankfull that you spoke about us ~ * I totally loved the last question haha *
Now for the question, I fell in love with MBLAQ since their first music video ' Oh Yeah ' .. When Joon started to … show in abs … * Okay, i'm just joking haha * More seriously, i fall in love with them every time they're releasing a new album.
Each time, their styles are just totally differents, it's always something fresh and new, i really appreciate it :D They are improving everytime and we can see that the members work really hard to show us awesome songs
I also love their personnalities, in hello Baby, they were so lovely daddies, they are really sweet and kind, sometimes, a litlle bit excited * No i don't point at you Mir .. i don't haha * or awkward, but they are so lively and adorable.. You can't hate them ~
Thank you ~and good uck to me haha

Answer: I started to fall in love with MBLAQ when I first listened to Mona Lisa. I'm from Spain, so when I found by chance that song, its "latin" sound really caught my attention.From then onwards, I started to pay attention to their new songs and such, and little by little, I became a fan of them.I loved the interview! <3Youtube username: OoyupiworldoO
Nice try to compete Lee Joon, Simon xD
Your teaching style really shines through your interviewing…you two make it so much more than Q&A lol, you make it fun :) Oh and these boys are too stinkin cute ><
I can't really remember the first moment I discovered MBLAQ and "fell in love"with them but my interest in them grew up constantly. ( I think I can say that I fell for
Lee Joon on the first sight! hihi)
I propably watched every TV shows they appeared on and
especially liked them in Hello Baby and MBLAQ goes to school. I don't know them
in "real life" if I can say that but they seem really natural and
open. Being talented idols they still seem approachable and kind. And their dorky-
crazyness is really cool and funny too!
I really hope to see them in France one day! MBLAQ

I own a lot to Mblaq because if it weren't for them I would not know what K-pop is. Their song Cry was the very first K-pop song I hear and it was love at first sight. Everything was so amazing, fresh and new and I loved every minute of it. Their voices I found to be just amazing as it touched my heart, even though I had no idea what they where saying. Ever since that day I have been thrown down the path of K-pop and I never looked back. Plus now I have a strong erg to splash in puddles whenever it rains, but that is a side affect I'm willing to take. Even though they opened up this new world for me it isn't the reason why I love them as much as I do. The reason why is because to me at lest they are real and true to themselves. Just from watching them you can tell they truly love what they are doing and it makes us fans love them more. Also it seems their idol image isn't as impotent as being real and true to themselves which I respect a lot. So they ten to revile things more about each other even when it can hurt there image. (Like G.O. and the pigeon folder) But because of this us fans can fill like we are closer to them. This closeness they have with us fans makes it so that we slowly fall more in love with them.

I don't know if I am suppose to write my reason why i love MBLAQ on this page but I love them since this year. (I watched every video that you guys posted) I know that wasnt earlier enough but I am obsest with them (ask my firends trust me they will be like talking for you know like ever!) I watch every TV show that they were in especially Hello Baby and I have posters of them all over my room A.K.A my mom told me that I was CRAZY and should open a gift shop In my room. Everyday I play their songs on the piano, and sing their songs. When I listen to thier songs I think of them just meeting them and I cry. I know thats crazy but that's how obsest I am. When something good happens I do the OH YEAH dance…… it's cheesy but what else can I do. MBLAQ is the FIRST IDOL GROUP I fell in love with. I soon I watched this videos I'm like Step 1:OMG
Step 2: I should get twitter
Step 3: Follow Simon and Martina on Twitter
Step 4: Always follow Simon and Martina onTwtter
Step 5: I cant believe I am talking to you guys!!!!!!!!!!!
I guess that was a bit lame but its true. I LOVE YOU MARTINA AND SIMON!!!!!!!!!
Hey simon and martina ^.^ .. First I just want to say I love your funny and creative kpop videos and thank you for interviewing mblaq
I have always thought that mblaq songs where unlike any other kpop songs. They always impress me with their dances and outfits they wear for their mv's. They are a unique band.
The first mblaq song I heard was oh yea and that was the moment when I started liking them. Oh yea was unlike any other kpop song I had ever heard before. I was surprise when lee joon said Amigos. I was lik WHAT? SPANISH? EVEN THOUGH ITS ONE WORD ..STILL I LUV THEM !!!! I had never heard Spanish in kpop before. The song had a Spanish feel to it . The same thing with mona lisa. Just like simon said SPANISH GUITAR ^.^ it made me glad it was a little multicultural since I only speak and understand English and Spanish .. But im hoping that in the future I can learn how to speak Korean as well
it wasn't until I watched hello baby (eng sub) that I fell in love with them. I got the chance to see each of their wonderful personalities. They each had various different wonderful personalities that they weren't afraid to show. Such as lee joon's crazy and fun side. I saw how Seungho, Thunder, G.O, Lee Joon and Mir were very caring and amazing individuals .They showed their crazy, fun and even overprotective sides.
They are normal just like us. I wish one day I could meet them but that seems highly unlikely to happen or maybe…. one day I will ^.^ . One can't never know .. Right? I will continue to cheer them on . I hope mblaq will continue to grow in the path of success and make their unique and catchy songs that I greatly enjoy.
Thnx 4 taking ur time to read this
waaaaaaaaaaaaaa MBLAQ son lo mejor y ustedes aun mas gracias por hacer tan divertidas tus programas son lo máximo saludos desde PERU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First off Mblaq was trained by Rain, and that is what
sparked my interest in this group of boys in absolute live quality or as I like
to call them, Men being loud and quirky. There is really something different
about this group to me. It may be the
fact that G.O can rock some well groomed facial hair, Grandpa Seungho's serious
attitude, Lee Joon's ability to be a King of dorks and rip his pants in style,
the ageyo Mir with his powerful rapping or Thunder's charming grace, but in the
end these boys are all special.
One reason I love Mblaq so much is the fact they never do
"watch me be grossly sweet and adorable" videos. They sell the idea of manly,
and they do not switch back and forth from being lady-killers to innocent boys
that bat their eyelashes. Not that there is anything wrong with being or acting
adorable if you are a male. I just find it horrendously awkward when I can
openly admit that a male can out cute me.
Mblaq is defiantly a group with good lucks, and I would be
lying if I said I did not enjoy being a creepy fan girl every once and awhile.
Alas looks will only take you so far in the world, and that's why I am glad
Mblaq has a good mix of dashing looks, and interesting music. The Spanish
guitar playing in Oh Yeah, the
flamenco flare to Mona Lisa, the simple
beat and techno in Y, or the use of Orchestra
instruments in It's War to create a crescendo.
I am by no means a music major, but their creativity with different sounds, and
instrument sets their music apart.
I watched Music Monday for the first time because of your
review of Mblaq's Cry. Although at first
I thought, "What in the world are these grown adults going," but after
finishing watching the review I fell in love with the sense of humor you two
have and your enthusiasm. That's when I become an official Little Kimchi,
Spugenators or whatever the fan group will be called.
My sister often dramatically copies after Martina, because
yes I have spread my K-pop and EYK virus to her as well, "Cry, just tell me
why, why I am so crazy," when ever I mumble on about Mblaq. I drive my sister completely
crazy about Mblaq. I think Mblaq will
always be a group close to my heart because it is one of the first K-pop groups I found with
out the help of my close friend. I just clicked on the Oh yeah video and those boys stole my soul, and claimed me as an A+.
While Simon has his Ranch I have
Mlblaq. Even though it is hundreds of miles away from me I have to have it just
like Simon needs his special Canadian sauce.
我爱 Mblaq.我祝你们好运!

It was the moment when I first watched "Cry" MV, and you guys reviewed that first for MBLAQ~ And to be honest, it's because of MBLAQ's Cry that I know Simon and Martina's channel.
"Mona Lisa" was my first MBLAQ song and I knew within the first few seconds that I like the song. I listened to a few other songs and then watched Hello Baby to get to know them better. I fell i love with MBLAQ after watching them interact with each other and with the babies. It was so cute to watch them be so infatuated when the kids would call them "appa" and them them thank you or give them kisses.
LASTY, I just fell in love with G.O. for the first time while watching this video because he thanks you guys for introducing the world to kimchi. All my korean friends are so shocked but proud that a foreigner likes kimchi so it made me smile.

This is awesome! Were you nervous meeting them? I would have been talking sooo much because I talk alot when I am nervous. I love them, one of the things that made me love them so much was that they seem so easy to talk to, and that I feel as though G.O. would be super nice about my nervous blabbering. I love 'Cry' because it looks so sad and sexy all at the same time, I fell in love with them because their personalities are so different but collide so well, while singing and being on Hello baby! :)) I love them!

fingers crossed. <3
It didn't take me long to fall for MBLAQ. In the end, it was not because of their passionate dancing, amazing acting skills (Joon in This is War OMO), or good looks and six packs (though I admit that that may have been a contributing factor *guilty*). I fell in love for the exact opposite reason that most people do.Because, behind the scenes, THEY ARE SO FREAKING UNCOOL.
As an uncool internet nerd myself, this is extremely appealing to me. In my mind, and I'm sure the minds of many others, kpop idols are kind of like gods. It's not that I worship them, but that they just seem untouchable, seemingly too cool or attractive for normal folk to relate. But MBLAQ is different. They are dorky, crazy, playful, strange, and idiotic, and the best part is that they act this way without any shame. (Do you ever see Jay-Z or Justin Bieber acting like that?) The MBLAQ weirdos have my heart, and I wouldn't want it any other way.

"tell us what made you fall in love with MBLAQ!"
So I was searching around youtube for Anime soundtracks when I saw a video with the title:
"MBLAQ MIR Adorable ENGRISH !" needles to say, the rest is history. This was not just my first encounter with MBLAQ, but also with K-pop in generall, which eventually led me here to you! <3//Youtube: safiercherismew
i fell in love with MBLAQ when i watched army idol! i really liked them in that so i looked up their most recent video at the time, y. I was HOOKED and there was no getting away from it. mblaq is an awesome group. fighting!!!!
ps. seeing Lee Joon shirtless in y helped a lot ;) jk

I fell in love with MBLAQ not long ago, because I'm a rather new kpopper. I'm a picky person, so even though a like a lot of korean boybands, just a few of them make me "fall in love" with them, like MBLAQ did. What I like the most about them is that they really surprise me with every concept that they pull off, making each song really different to the others.
Also, after watching Hello Baby I started to like them even more, because that kind of TV shows make you remember that they are human beings too, and not the perfect idols they are on stage.
Youtube username: Daebakiya90
I don't remember how I stumbled on them but I certainly remember why I fell in love with them! It was definitely because of Lee Joon, he wowed me with how adorably dumb he is, repeatedly over and over again. And then Seungho turned out to be such a Bamf and still like perfect husband materiel! Im also fairly certain that the first song I heard was Mona Lisa, and that I would never like G.O's mustache, but that grew on me! Thunder proved himself to be a devious little cutie pie and Mir's trolling makes me think that he would be an awesome best friend! I have watched all the shows I could with them on it and they are such cute little dorks, It's likely i'll never see them in person but I'll keep cheering them on from home no matter what! (And I'm sure Joonie isn't as dumb as he comes across XD I mean thats what he says anyways~)

I saw a random sesame player episode on youtube and they were playing with this yellow pointer. G.O poked Joon in the face and jokes about how Joon needed to blow his nose ensued. And that was it. That's all it took.

Tell us what made you fall in love with MBLAQ!
I'm from France and I discovered MBLAQ by chance last year with the song "Stay". I really liked it but I wasn't really fond of their other songs.
Many months later, I watched your K-POP Music Monday about their "This is War" MV which made me curious about the song. I listened to it and really fell in love with it. The intro with the violins gave me chills. This song is amazing.Then I watched "Hello Baby" and I found them really funny, sincere and natural.
So I decided to listen to their other songs again and finally I like them very much today. MBLAQ is really one of my favorite K-POP groups.They work so hard to be great performers and to deliver great performances. They are role models for me because I would like to be a singer so I'm working hard like them. / Youtube Username : AlexanderBMusic


text: ISLAMABAD: The United States has imposed visa sanction on three senior Pakistani interior ministry officials because of a row over repatriation of deportees.Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi on Tuesday told the National Assembly's Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs that visa curbs had been applied by the US on three officials of Pakistan's interior ministry.The officials who are facing visa restrictions are an additional secretary and a joint secretary of the interior ministry as well as the director general passports.The sanctions on the three officials have been put in place after a row between the two countries over deportation of dozens of Pakistanis, currently in the US, because of visa overstay and other allegations. Mr Qureshi said the US authorities intended to deport more than 70 Pakistanis, but the government had asked them to fulfil the legal requirements.The US put the restrictions on three officials that are said to be overseeing country's policy on accepting back nationals deported from other countries.The US has over the past 18 months deported over 100 Pakistanis, all of whom were accepted back. It is the first time that Pakistani authorities have insisted on a verification of the credentials of the deportees.The foreign minister, however, clarified that there were no visa restrictions by the US government on Pakistani citizens in general. Consular operations of the US embassy in Islamabad are continuing and are granting visas to the eligible applicants.About the escalating US-Iran tensions, FM Qureshi said, Pakistan was closely following the situation and would take a position on the issue that best served the national interest.He said Iran's troubled relations with the US, Saudi Arabia and the UAE were affecting the region's peace. If the situation aggravated, he feared, it would affect the entire region.The US, it should be recalled, had deployed aircraft carrier, B-52 bombers and F-15 fighters, and Patriot Missile batteries to counter an unspecified threat from Iran.Latest reports suggest that the US is planning to deploy 120,000 troops as well.US Air Force aircraft deployed around Iran have in the meantime begun flying deterrence missions.Acting US Defence Secretary Patrick Shanahan has said that the US, through its deployment, intended to convey to Iran that "an attack on Americans or our interests would be met with an appropriate response".Ever since the US deployments sabotage acts in the region have increased. In the first such incident, Saudi vessels were attacked and in the latest occurrence Aramco oil fields have been hit by drones.The head of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has, however, downplayed the US deployments describing them as part of "psychological war in the region". He contended that the "comings and goings of their (US) military is a normal matter".The foreign minister said he would visit Kuwait over the weekend (May 18-19) with a message from Prime Minister Imran Khan.He said notwithstanding the rifts with the Gulf Cooperation Council, Pakistan wished to have good relations with all Arab countries and strengthen trade ties with them through a Free Trade Agreement with GCC.

Hong Kong protesters return to the streets, occupy airport
Shanghai | Thousands of protesters ignored China's veiled threats to intervene in the mass demonstrations that have been disrupting the city for months, returning to the streets at the weekend, lighting fires outside police stations and blocking a cross-harbour tunnel.
Police fired tear gas at protesters in two separate locations, including the busy shopping and tourist precinct along Nathan Road in Tsim Sha Tsui.
Thousands more staged a three-day sit-in the arrivals hall at Hong Kong's international airport, where visitors were greeted by black-clad protesters, chanting slogans, singing and handing out pamphlets outlining their concerns.
The 10th consecutive weekend of protests came after Chinese officials on Wednesday made their strongest comments yet on Hong Kong after summoning officials to the border city of Shenzhen, and refusing to rule out military intervention.
While analysts said they did not expect China to send in troops to restore order to Hong Kong at this stage, there are signs that Beijing is stepping up the propaganda war. State-controlled media has been flooded with stories critical of the protest movement, which it depicts as a small number of trouble-makers being influenced by the United States and other "foreign forces".
China also ordered Cathay Pacific, Hong Kong's national carrier, to ban its staff from flying to mainland China if they participated in the protests. Cathay said on Saturday it had suspended a pilot arrested during anti-government protests in Hong Kong, and sacked two ground crew.
It is not the first time China has targeted airlines for political reasons. Qantas and other international carriers were forced to change they way they referred to Taiwan, a self-ruled island that Beijing considers part of Chinese territory, in marketing material last year.
Scenes on local television showed bewildered tourists walking past squads of riot police firing rounds of tear gas at protesters not far from Nathan Road on Saturday night. Protesters had earlier marched peacefully past the People's Liberation Army garrison in Hong Kong.
Groups of protesters later blocked roads and tunnels on the Kowloon Peninsula as they moved unpredictably from one target to the next. Some local media reports said the numbers appeared to have diminished since last weekend.
Police said on Sunday that 16 people has been arrested. "Some protesters aimed laser beams at police officers and some violent protesters hurled miscellaneous objects and stones at police officers," a Hong Kong police statement said. Protesters also started a fire outside Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station and near Suffolk Road in Kowloon Tong.
"Police reiterate that anyone participating in an unauthorised assembly commits an offence. Police will strictly enforce the law against all violent and illegal acts."
Chinese media on the weekend quoted Hong Kong's major civil aviation labour union complaining about the airport sit-in, which was largely peaceful and did not result in any flight delays
The Staff and Workers Union of Hong Kong Civil Airlines said. "HKIA [Hong Kong International Airport] is the economic lifeline of the city. Occupying the airport will only damage the city's economy and the livelihoods of airport staff, as it has been recently proved that these protests will end in violent clashes."
In China, social media has been flooded with nationalistic calls to boycott Cathay Pacific and other brands seen as supporting the protest movement.
On Saturday, Chinese television host Liu Xin complained on Twitter that a security guard in Hong Kong could not speak Mandarin when she was asking for directions while on a visit to the city. "One country, two systems doesn't mean one can live in the past," she said, referring to China's agreement with Britain in 1997 to keep the city's political and legal systems independent for 50 years. Cantonese and English are widely spoken in Hong Kong.
Opposition to an extradition bill, which the government has since suspended but not withdrawn, has escalated into a wider call for more democratic reform in the territory.
More protests were planned for Sunday.
