Be inspired.Joined: 04 Oct 2003Posts: 1322Location: Fountain Valley, California (USA) Posted: Fri Feb 18, 2005 4:38 am Post subject: Movie: Eat Drink Man Woman Eat Drink Man Woman Plot Outline: Retired Master Chef Chu lives in a large house in Taipei with his three unmarried daughters, Jia-Jen, a chemistry teacher converted to Christianity, Jia-Chien, an airline executive, and Jia-Ning, a student who also works in a fast food restaurant. Life in the house revolves around the ritual of an elaborate dinner each Sunday, and the love lives of all the family members. My Thoughts: This Mandarin-spoken movie has its subtle, comedic moments that just made me giggle. It's a movie detailing the relationship between a father and his three daughters with an ending that just fills up your heart with joy. Not only that, it's also a good movie that revolves around Chinese food (and good food it is!) There are a few twists towards the end of the film involving the love lives of just about every major character. I recommend this heart-warming movie, particularly to those who have forgotten how much you should love your parents and siblings. An enthusiastic 8/10. You can buy the DVD here, starring Jacklyn Wu.

I have been dealing with a teen youth group issue that I thought was over and done with months ago. I would like your advice about what to do with a group of moms are who still upset and mad at one of our leaders for calling attention to a small group what was using cell phone texting to gossip about other teens, once mom cut off the other by changing her son's number (which made the girls mad) and then also saying something about what they were doing that led to the leader calling upon the issue of gossip and now the moms of these girls (the mom's don't even attend this church) telling the pastor they their daughters won't go to the youth events as long as "that leader" is still a "leader"
It is a mess and it is spilling over into the church and it just seems that these moms need to just get over it and move on. The leader is having to say sorry for speaking the truth about gossiping and about their behavior as unchristian. I don't think this leader has anything that needs forgiveness except that some people have been offended and that is the only thing this leader needs to address.
I'm just a parent who happens to like the leaders and say they had to do something and often times those guilty of whatever it is are usually the ones who get mad the most.
I even think that these kids and moms should just go elsewhere or just cool off and forget it.

|Napster saved, but for how long?
|Friday, 28 July 2000
The news of Napster's possible demise sent users into a downloading
frenzy over the past 18 hours, but now downloading freaks can relax a
little. The injunction served to the online file sharing service
Napster this past Wednesday was lifted today.
Originally scheduled to be shut down tonight at 3am (EST), Napster has been temporarily granted a stay until a formal appeal can be heard by the U.S. Court of appeals for the Ninth Circuit. This appeal is not expected to be until September with Napster's opening brief due on August 18, the RIAA's response due September 8 and Napster's optional reply due on September 12. Napster was granted the say primarily based on the claim that the injunction would have caused the company to "suffer irreparable injury" and would force them to terminate many of their employees.
Legal experts say that it is common for this type of stay to be granted in cases as complex as this one. Attorney David Boise will continue to refine the companies defense strategy. Napster claims that Federal District Court Chief Judge Marilyn Hall Patel overlooked statistics presented by the company showing the promotional power of Napster based on the recent increase in album sales.
Napster is asking its users and supporters to write protest letters to the record companies that are attempting to close them down. This comes on the heels of their first letter writing campaign that resulted in over ten thousand letters being sent to Senators Orrin Hatch and Patrick Leahy by Napster users asking them to support downloadable music. They have also urged users to purchase albums by artists such as Limp Bizkit and The Offspring who have come out in support of Napster.
While the recording industry claimed victory this last Wednesday and Napster rejoices today, the significance of this battle is the fact that the distribution of music will never be the same since Napster. Napster is used to transmit copywritten music in a less than perfect medium MP3, much in the way radio transmits hit songs and listeners have record buttons on their tape decks.
Naspter is a social phenomenon and is bigger than the issue of free music downloads. Having received billions of dollars worth of hype and PR, Napster is perfectly poised to become a pay service, which still allows MP3 swapping, and the artist gets paid. Sign up for the IPO shares now.

|OKLAHOMA'S eGOV NEWS REPORT
Welcome to Oklahoma's eGovernment News Report. We hope you enjoy the monthly report providing you with up-to-date information on Oklahoma's eGovernment achievements.
Governor's Office Launches Redesigned Website
OKLAHOMA CITY – The Office of Governor Mary Fallin today announced the launch of a redesigned governor's Web site at www.governor.ok.gov. The new site features a template layout that is brand new to Oklahoma statewide elected officials and features panoramic banner graphics, photo and multimedia galleries, and social media connectivity.
"Internet and Web-based technologies are great tools that allow citizens to interact and communicate directly with their elected officials," Fallin said. "Our new site is easy-to-navigate and will keep Oklahomans up to date on information from the governor's office while allowing them to communicate with my office directly."
The Web site has a more modern feel, as well as a more functional and navigable layout. Visitors can stay current with Governor Fallin and the governor's office, whether it's following her Twitter feed or finding service opportunities within her administration.
"Governor Fallin and her staff challenged us to design and develop a new brand for her office," said Mark Mitchell, OK.gov General Manager. "The site will continue to grow and see continual aesthetic and functionality improvements. It will definitely not be a static site."
The new site is built through OK.gov's Go Gov! Web Management Suite which allows the governor's staff to easily build and maintain a Web site without the knowledge of programming languages.
The system utilizes a new, freshly designed template, which provides a common look for all Oklahoma's state and local Web sites. That in turn gives Web site visitors a sense of security in that they are visiting an official Oklahoma government Web site. The Web site and services are a product of a partnership between the governor's office and OK.gov, Oklahoma's Official Website managed by the eGovernment firm, NIC Inc.
Governor Fallin, Emergency Management Officials Announce Safe Room Rebate Program
OKLAHOMA CITY – Governor Mary Fallin kicked off the Sooner Safe - Safe Room Rebate Program today during a news conference at the Oklahoma Capitol. With this announcement, more than $1 million in rebates were made available to Oklahoma homeowners for the construction of individual safe rooms and storm shelters. Officials anticipate the funding will help deliver about 500 safe rooms.
"I urge all Oklahomans to take every step possible in preparing for severe weather," Fallin said. "Safe rooms offer an invaluable way to protect your family during a storm and the Sooner Safe - Safe Room Rebate Program can help Oklahoma homeowners in accomplishing that goal."
The program is a partnership between the state and federal government. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) delivered the funding, the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management will manage the program, and OK.gov is administering the Web site portal where Oklahomans can register to be eligible for the rebates.
"We're pleased to be bringing this statewide program back to Oklahoma," Oklahoma Emergency Management Director Albert Ashwood said. "We appreciate all the work of our partners in helping to make this happen."
The program provides a 75-percent rebate – up to $2,000 – to eligible Oklahomans who install above-ground or below-ground safe rooms. To apply for the rebate, Oklahomans should register online at www.soonersafe.ok.gov. Recipients will be selected by random computer drawing annually.
Funding priority will be given to residents whose homes were destroyed in tornadoes that garnered presidential disaster declaration for individual assistance each year. For example, this program year, so far, the April 14, 2011 Tushka tornado and May 22-25, 2011 tornadoes in central and northeastern Oklahoma qualify for funding priority.
The 2011 program drawing is set for Jan. 3, 2012. Following the annual drawing, recipients will be notified by e-mail and given until September 30 of each year to construct the safe room to FEMA standards and submit all required documentation to the state.
To meet FEMA requirements, safe rooms cannot be installed prior to the rebate drawing and notification period in order to be eligible for the program.
Report: e-Government savings to top $114B worldwide by 2016
Taking government services online, and in many cases, to the cloud, has the potential to save as much as $114 billion worldwide by 2016, according to new research.
ABI Research said the implementation of online e-government services, especially "citizen services," will help drive the e-government services market to sharp growth over the next five years.
"Investment is set to increase from $28 billion in 2010 to $57 billion in 2016, and the number of users will nearly triple over the forecast period," said ABI Research analyst Phil Sealy.
But, he said, because of a very fragmented market, growth in different regions will vary widely.
"Initially much of the activity will be in the major industrialized countries," he said. "But rollouts of e-government services will accelerate beginning in about 2014 when online services in developing regions start to become a reality."
Governments are looking to offer information and services on many levels. ABI Research is expecting to see mobile services become ever more popular, especially in those countries where providing citizens fixed broadband connections may not be a viable investment option. The aim is to maximize e-inclusion and e-participation of citizen-centric services by providing simplistic and convenient means of access.
"Countries such as the U.S. that already have well-established e-government services are looking into aligning services onto one portal rather than multiple portals," said ABI Research group director John Devlin. "The same applies for Europe. Aligning services will make it easier for a country's citizens to access all services in one place. This allows a reduction in operating costs, while maintaining service levels."
In the U.S., both the federal government and state governments are looking to not only transition services, but online and cloud communications as well.
The General Services Administration, for example, in July said it had switched its 17,000 employees over to Google Apps to take advantage of its cloud-based email and collaboration offerings, cutting down on the costs of establishing and operating data centers. The GSA said the change will save it more than $15.2 million over the next five years.
Likewise, the State of Wyoming, which in June became the first state to adopt a full suite of Google Apps for Government, which includes desktop videoconferencing and live online collaboration while creating documents for its more than 10,000 state employees. Wyoming believes the switch will help it save $1 million annually.
And of course, Congress increasingly is using Skype and Oovoo VoIP and video chat to communicate with constituents and each other.

Flowers- A4 Linocut With Watercolour Paint
Flowers- A4 Linocut With Watercolour Paint
This is an original linocut print
Made as a multiple print from a single linocut of a group of flowers. - and finished with hand painted watercolour paint.
Printed using archival colourfast Caligo Safewash black linocut ink onto White A4 card.
Not a numbered edition - an artists proof and signed, named and marked as such in pencil at the bottom of the print.
NB - The printed section is not quite in the middle of the print.
This is an experimental test print, and isn't perfectly aligned.
The magic of a linocut is that EVERY print is unique.
Each print takes some time to complete and each one taken from a linoct will be slightly different.
That is the fun!
Until I make the print and peel back the paper I don't know exactly what the print will look like..
I am a professional jeweller and also visual artist.
I have been creating art all my life, and I love what I do..
I work mainly in watercolour paint and linocut, and my work has sold all around the World.
As well as my own work I am also creating CD cover artwork for several respected bands.
Ian Barrett Art - (C) 2013
Every print will be sent double wrapped in blue tissue paper and in a sturdy cardboard postal tube - and complete with signed and security stamped certificate of authenticity.
Ready for framing straight from the tube.

While at the Fancy Food Show in New York City, we stumbled across these delicious traditional-style cookies and could not wait to share them with our Mail Order customers. Thin with crispy edges and a rich buttery taste, after one bite you will find yourself addicted to these home-style treats. We aren't the only ones who think these cookies are some of the best; the Chocolate Chip cookie was ranked #1 out of 50 cookies tested by the Rachel Ray magazine, and it was also a finalist for the 2009 SOFI Silver award for Outstanding Cookie.

Auckland City house values will shortly top the market peak of 2007 in real terms as a red-hot property market pushes up prices.
The real estate market will enter the traditionally quiet Christmas-New Year period with booming prices and record sale volumes.
Auckland house values are up 3.2 per cent in the past three months and 9.3 per cent in the past year, according to QV figures released yesterday.
Suburbs within the old Auckland City boundaries have led the charge, with values surging by 10.7 per cent over the past 12 months.
When inflation is taken into account, old Auckland City values are now just 1.1 per cent below the 2007 property peak.
With strong demand and a continued shortfall of listings, the high-tide mark is expected to be reached within a couple of months.
"Whilst there has been an increase in listings, demand continues to outstrip supply, particularly in central Auckland," said QV operations manager Kerry Stewart.
Accessibility to the city was a key factor for many buyers, but with people forced to look further afield values were rising in North, West and South Auckland.
"Due to sellers having to buy in the same market, they're not listing their properties as readily," Ms Stewart said. "The upper end of the market is taking longer to sell, however well-presented houses around $600,000 are selling very quickly."
Nationwide, values are up 1.9 per cent in the past three months, and 5.7 per cent in the past year. Jonno Ingerson of QV said the rise was driven mainly by Auckland and Canterbury.
Values over the rest of the country were steady, but had begun to falter in some areas in the past month.
"Outside Auckland and Canterbury the property market remains subdued as buyers are generally cautious, and there are few quality properties ... to choose from."
Yesterday the Real Estate Institute released its monthly report which showed house sale volumes hitting a five-year high. The report showed sales were up 24 per cent in a year. Sales volumes and prices increased in 21 out of 24 areas in Auckland.
On the up
* Values compared to 2007 peak:
* Nationwide+1.5 per cent (-11.3 per cent when inflation-adjusted)
* Wider Auckland +10 per cent (-4.1 per cent when inflation adjusted)
* Old Auckland City+13.4 per cent (-1.1 per cent when inflation adjusted)

The Maloof family has agreed to sell the Sacramento Kings to hedge fund manager Chris Hansen and Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer for $525 million, plus a relocation fee the buyers will pay the league that will likely be well in excess of $30 million, according to my sources familiar with the transaction. A last ditch effort by Sacramento's mayor Kevin Johnson to keep the NBA team in the city failed because he could not assemble a group of investors fast enough.
The $525 million price for the Kings is the second-most ever paid for an NBA team. In 2010 Ted Leonsis bought the 56% of the Washington Wizards and Verizon Center he did not already own for an enterprise value of $551 million. The most ever paid for a basketball team without an arena was $450 million for the Golden State Warriors shortly after the Wizards deal.
The billionaire Ballmer and rich Hansen can simply write a check to the Maloofs, whose casino business and basketball team are highly leveraged. Ballmer and Hansen will move the team to Seattle and play in KeyArena for two seasons before moving into a new, state-of-the-art arena that will cost $490 million. When the relocation fee is factored in, the final price for acquiring the Kings will be around $600 million.
In addition, by moving to Seattle the Kings will get a richer local television deal. Seattle's metro area population is 3.3 million, more than a million people more than Sacramento.
A year ago we valued the Kings at $300 million. But the new arena, which will be run by Ballmer and Hansen, will add tens of millions of dollars a year from premium seating, sponsorship and non-NBA events that the Kings currently do not get at Sleep Train Arena. In addition, there is the possibility of an NHL team eventually moving into the arena, which would add more money to the pot.

President Barack Obama bounced back into the lead in the final Pew Research Center survey, edging out his Republican challenger Mitt Romney by three points among likely voters, 48% to 45%.
Those results show a significant seven-point swing toward Obama since the beginning of October, when Pew found the president trailing Romney by four points after the first presidential debate.
That's not the only good news for the President. The poll, released Sunday, found that Obama's lead widens to five points, 50% to 45%, when the 3% of voters who remain undecided are split between the candidates, based on the split of respondents who said they are leaning towards a candidate and other indicators.
Here's the breakdown, courtesy of Pew:
Obama's recent boost appears to be driven, at least in part, by his response to Hurricane Sandy. The poll found that a full 69% of likely voters approved of Obama's handling of the disaster. Even a plurality of Romney supporters — 46% — said they aprroved of the way the president has dealt with Sandy. And in the Northeast, the poll found that Obama has increased his lead over Romney from nine points to 21 points in just the past week.
According to Sunday's poll, Obama has regained much of the ground he lost last month, most notably among women, older voters, and moderates.
Despite these modest gains, however, Obama has not come close to the eight-point lead he held over Romney at the end of September. The race remains in a virtual dead heat, both nationally and in the swing states, where the poll found Obama edging out Romney 49% to 47%.
Check out the chart below for a visualization of how the race has moved over the past month:

A huge range of measuring instruments is available for what can loosely be described as environmental monitoring. High-tech thermometers can be of the contact (thermocouple) or non-contact (usually IR) type. Multi-purpose instruments cover various measurement parameters, such as humidity, temperature, air velocity, light and sound. For weather monitoring, relative humidity, dew-point and wet-bulb readings can be taken, and it is possible to purchase a complete weather station. Other monitors allow for CO and CO2 readings, and various water quality measurements can be taken, including for turbidity and dissolved oxygen. Vibration and sound-level meter readings have many applications and tachometers can be used either as contact or non-contact instruments. Light meters and UV light meters add to the lineup with instruments for force, pressure and even electro-magnetic field being available. Monitoring on a more personal level is provided for by blood pressure and heartrate monitors. Even high-precision weighing scales and watches can be provided. It is fair to say that if there is a parameter to be measured, suitable monitoring equipment can be located.

Lose weight, win prizes and make Marble pay
Lose weight, win prizes and make Marble pay
Dr. Dex Marble hasn't lost his mind but, if he has his way, both his waist and his wallet are about to get a lot skinnier between now and April.
Marble, the vice-president of academic affairs at the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma, has pledged to donate $10 in scholarship monies to the USAO Foundation for every pound lost by a USAO student, faculty or staff member who enrolls in a program that had to be called Make Marble Pay.
In addition to the wellness benefits that sensible weight-loss will bring, participants will also be competing for one of two flat-screen televisions. A television will be awarded to the faculty/staff member and to the student who loses the most weight (measured in percentage of body mass lost) between the time that they weigh in and April 22.
Nancy Hughes, dean of students at USAO, said that Make Marble Pay will be a "fun project to lose weight and get healthy, while helping the school to earn money for scholarships and helping yourself win a TV!"
Weigh-in for the program begins on Jan. 18 in the Health Services office on the first floor of Troutt Hall. Chris Basco, health services director, will conduct the weigh-in. In addition to ensuring that each participant is healthy enough to take part in the program, he'll be available to offer counseling on the best techniques for safe and sustainable weight loss and answer questions that may arise related to the program.
All weight totals will be kept confidential with Basco and will not be shared with anyone else at any time.
There is no deadline to enroll in the program but the sooner one gets started, the longer he or she will have to lose weight and compete for the prize.

The DO 228-212 is primarily used for remote sensing, but also for marine and atmospheric research.
The twin-engine turboprop Dornier Do 228-212 (registration D-CFFU) is primarily used for remote-sensing missions by the German Aerospace Center's (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) Oberpfaffenhofen flight facility
Interior of the Do 228-212. Its many modifications make the Dornier Do 228-212 especially well suited for airborne optical remote sensing.
The DLR research aircraft has a length of 16.56 metres (18.7 feet with nose boom), is 4.86 metres in height and has a wingspan of 16.97 metres.
The research airplanes of the ICESAR campaign in Spitsbergen, Norway.
The twin-engine turboprop Dornier Do 228-212 (registration D-CFFU) is primarily used for remote-sensing missions by the German Aerospace Center's (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) Oberpfaffenhofen flight facility. It has a large box-shaped cabin and large cabin floor openings. This makes it especially well suited for setting up special camera systems such as the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC), which is also used for space observation.
Digital sensors are installed as required. These sensors deliver optical remote-sensing data in the infrared spectrum in high resolution. The so-called multi- and hyperspectral sensors were developed by the German Aerospace Center in cooperation with its partners.
Depending on the image scale, the airborne digital sensors obtain measuring data in a range of between several kilometres and a few decimetres. Repeat measurements are performed at the same location, using different digital sensors such as the Digital Airborne Imaging Spectrometer (DAIS), the Reflective Optics System Imaging Spectrometer (ROSIS), the Hyperspectral Scanner (HYMAP), and the Airborne Reflective Emissive Spectrometer (ARES). This yields much more precise information about the Earth's surface and its vegetation than could previously be obtained using camera systems.
The DLR Microwaves and Radar Institute (DLR-Institut für Hochfrequenztechnik und Radarsysteme) operates DLR's Experimental Synthetic Aperture Radar system (E-SAR) and its successor F-SAR, to gather data for atmospheric research. Because of their modifications, only this longer 212 variant of the Dornier 228 can fly with these radar systems. Amongst other uses, the E-SAR and F-SAR systems are deployed in preliminary studies for future satellite missions, such as the German TerraSAR-X radar satellite.
The following modifications differentiate the Dornier Do 228-212 from the standard Do 228:
Missions - Research focus
Amongst other uses, the Do 228-212 research aircraft is deployed for the following fields of research:
Geophysics, glaciology and climate studies
Using the E-SAR radar system developed by DLR, geophysical radar measurements of the internal structure of the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets are performed on board the Do 228-212. The research contributes to the determination of ice dynamics and makes it possible to predict changes in the large ice sheets as a result of climate change.
En route with E-SAR for ICE-SAR: DLR's contribution to the International Polar Year (IPY)
The German Aerospace Center participated in a large-scale measurement campaign in connection with the International Polar Year 2007/2008. By doing so, DLR was hoping to gain new insights into the formation and properties of land and sea ice. Between March and April 2007, scientist and technicians of the DLR Microwaves and Radar Institute used the E-SAR airborne radar system to conduct research in Spitsbergen, Norway, within the framework of the ICE-SAR campaign (Iceland Association for Search and Rescue). The aim is to find - in cooperation with the Alfred Wegener Institute, the German institute for polar and marine research (Alfred-Wegener-Institut; AWI) - characteristic parameters of land and sea ice, which are required in order to be able to establish the mutual influence between ice and atmosphere.
Of great importance in this respect are the extent of sea ice coverage, the sea ice surface roughness, the thickness of land-ice masses and the determination of structures in land ice. The sea-ice surface influences the flow of air, especially in the lower 100 metres of the atmosphere. In order to precisely calculate the exchange of energy and impulse between the surface and the atmosphere, one has to know the roughness of the ice. In climate and weather prediction models, the complex topography of sea ice and the distribution of ice are represented as simplified shapes.
The terrestrial part of the ICE-SAR-campaign takes place on Spitsbergen, over the Austfonna ice cap. This is a well-researched subpolar area which is easily and quickly accessible from Germany. With the support of the European Space Agency ESA and the Norwegian Polar Institute NPI, regular expeditions are organised with the participation of a European research team.
What makes the current ICE-SAR campaign so remarkable is that it is the first occasion on which very large datasets are collected at the same time by different European research teams. Teams of scientists from the University of Oslo and the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), for instance, are recording land-based data on the land ice; atmospheric data about sea ice are gathered using the AWI's aeroplane and the Norwegian "KV Svalbard" expedition vessel (Ice-Strengthened Norwegian Coast Guard Vessel); the measurements are completed by radar remote sensing data obtained with the German Aerospace Center's E-SAR radar system on board the Do 228-212.
The International Polar Year 2007/2008 is a global scientific research campaign covering both the Arctic and the Antarctic. It receives substantial support from ESA. Scientists from over 60 countries participate in this two-year research programme.

Hey all,
I got this as a facebook message today and I was...shocked. I've met this individual probably five times in my life and the longest conversation I've had with him was at my brother's wedding and being a newlywed himself was sharing stories about how he hadn't seen his wife brush her teeth before they got married and it was hard to get used to seeing those types of things so my husband and I had better watch out for things like that (LOL my husband said: "Yeah, well I guess we had different experiences." he was pissed). ANYWAY, this is what I got. I want to respond but don't know what.
Hello Amanda,
How are things? I hope and trust that all is well.
As you may already know, we are preparing to move to Costa Rica this year to serve as missionaries. In preparation, we have been traveling around from church to church to raise our budget for this mission. This has been going very well as many churches have decided to get behind us and partner with us through a monthly commitment. Now, I wanted to present an opportunity to you as well!
For a cup of coffee…
Costa Rica is known for its coffee. I'm not a big coffee drinker but I'm told that I won't be able to resist drinking coffee in Costa Rica; time will tell. In fact, the only coffee drinks I enjoy are the specialty drinks from Starbucks. Yep, I'm that guy. But I know I'm not alone because I don't go there enough to keep them in business by myself. Would you consider giving up one specialty drink a month (or a fast food value meal a month) to make a difference? That's right, we're asking friends if they might be willing to commit $5/month for the next few years that we'll be in Costa Rica. Would you be willing to partner with us at $5/month? That's $60/year and your donation is tax deductible! You may do more if you would like/are able, but even if 200 friends jumped on board with us at $5/month we would be significantly closer to our goal of leaving for Costa Rica in 2013!
How can you give?
You can give a one-time donation or set up a monthly commitment by using our safe, secure giving page (I use it myself): {website}
If you'd prefer to send a check each month, just let me know and we can work that out too.
Please feel free to call me if you have any questions at {phone number}. I will also try to answer what I feel are the three most common questions below.
Thanks for your consideration and time.
In Christ,
{The entire families names...including the 2 year old}
What exactly will we be doing?
We will be involved in a number of different opportunities, but let me highlight 3 for you here:
1. Engage Costa Rica Experience – Polly and I will be serving as the Resident Directors of this opportunity for college aged students who feel like they want to be missionaries someday too. We will mentor them as they get hands-on experience of what it's like working to help those in need in other countries (through a variety of opportunities). The students can also work on their college degree for up to 2 years while in this program through 3 partnering schools. For more information, check out {website}
2. Youth Ministry – Half the country's population is under 25! We will be working with these young people as they go through a difficult period in their lives. This is the area we worked with over the last 7 years so we're excited! We will be focusing on youth evangelism and youth leadership training.
3. Fighting Human Trafficking – The CIA lists Costa Rica as a nation with a problem in the area of human trafficking, specifically child sex slavery. We want to bring these children hope that can only come from the wholeness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ! Contrary to what they've been told, they do matter, they are important and they do have a future!
When will we be leaving?
We've been talking about Costa Rica for nearly a year now so when will we actually be leaving? Well, the target date is August 28, 2013. However, this is no definite. The ultimate answer is that we cannot leave until our budget is raised.
Why do we need to raise a budget?
While in Costa Rica, we will have no way of making an income in country. As a result, we need to raise our budget before we can leave. There are two budgets:
1. Cash budget – This is used for one-time purchases or services (i.e. language school, flights to and from Costa Rica, a vehicle, etc.)
2. Monthly budget – This is used for recurring purchases or services (i.e. rent, groceries, insurance, gas, etc.)
