Dear friends!
Only one month remains of our three-year China adventure, and it feels quite strange that we will soon be leaving. Our southern tropical weather often surprises us with changes from bright sun, to rain or thunderstorms, but always with high heat (over 30 C) and humidity. Teaching in the afternoons has become quite trying, and the students are also suffering in the stifling classrooms. But in this heat and humidity, our campus has become even greener; on campus we have mango and jackfruit trees (see photo), and flowering trees and bushes, including fragrant frangipani, jasmine, and others we cannot identify. Butterflies are everywhere, and unfortunately so are the spiders and cockroaches.
China is now very concerned about the Swine Flu. Some of our students have told us that they have starting running in the evenings to build up their health to help build up resistance. Others have warned us that we should not travel anywhere now that it is so dangerous. Now the Swine Flu is very serious, they have told us, frightened. When we recently traveled to Vietnam for the weekend, a Vietnamese doctor, who specifically wanted to know if we had been to North America recently, questioned us, and our temperatures were registered. On the Chinese side, we had never seen such pandemonium as hoards of Chinese tourist groups (all in matching baseball caps) were all pulled aside to fill in a special health questionnaire. We were also questioned about our travels and our health. Two of our Amity colleagues in another Guangxi city were recently told they were not allowed to teach classes, because they had had an American visitor, and their school just assumed that they could have been infected. Every day they had to report their temperature to the school leaders. In the international news we have read that at least two hotels (Beijing and Hong Kong) have been completely under quarantine due to fears of one guest infecting the entire hotel. This exaggerated caution and fear is certainly due to Chinas SARS experience, and; I believe, a general lack of basic knowledge about the spread of disease. (When a Hepatitis B outbreak hit our Gansu school, I asked a colleague about it and she said, Yes, you know, the weather is so bad these days, it is easy to get sick.) This, coupled with the sheer numbers of people in this populous country, is why China and Chinese people are currently so worried about the flu. We hope that Swine Flu will soon be contained and will not lead to unnecessary despair amongst the Chinese people.
In April we celebrated Easter in our local church, in a nice but small service, where we were happy to be able to understand the main points as we followed along in our Chinese-English Bible. Easter was a nice time also because we were happy to celebrate it with two of our Swedish friends, Tomas and Martina Halvarsson, who came for a week-long visit.
A few weeks later, we celebrated my birthday. We had planned to invite a few colleagues out to dinner, but the students had learned about my birthday and they arranged a surprise party. (A while before, we met several teachers who said, Tonight is your surprise party, right?) So when the time of the party arrived, Tomas and I waited
and waited
finally, Tomas called a colleague to ask what was going on. We are all waiting for you! she said. In the excitement to plan the event, nobody had invited us to the party! So, about a half hour late for my own surprise party, Tomas and I made our way over. We were shocked by what we saw: probably two hundred students all in a ring, with hundreds of balloons, our colleagues and some school leaders, a gigantic cake, flowers, and gifts. When we arrived I was handed a huge fruit basket and then the speeches commenced. It was such a surreal evening! First, two of my students gave a welcome speech, and then the school leaders welcomed us. After that the student leaders said, Now you may go up to Mrs. Stenback and give her your gifts. Another time they instructed students to approach Mrs. Stenback and give her your best wishes (which meant, give me a cheesy speech into the microphone for everyone to hear). Later they played games, and Tomas and I were to pop a balloon between our backs. To the students great embarrassment, we were unable to pop the balloon. Trying to make us feel better, they said, It doesnt matter! It is because you are both so thin (when in actuality, we are giants compared to our students). After several boisterous rounds of Happy Birthday, the party ended when it started to rain. Although it was flattering and quite touching, it was more than a little exhausting to be the foreign puppet in such a crazy party!
Last month we were pleased to welcome Tomass sister, Elenor, who came for a short but fun visit. During her stay we spent time with our students in the classroom and the schools English Center, and we also saw our own Chinese city. We also spent a weekend together in Hanoi, which has now become one of our favorite Southeast Asian cities with its loud but vibrant street life, delicious Vietnamese food, shopping, and interesting local culture. Chinese people value family above all else, so whenever our family members have visited us, they have become so happy for our sake and they always want to learn everything they can about our guests.
Last weekend we were privileged to attend our Chinese friend and colleague, Terrences, wedding. The wedding took place in Guizhou province, which is just north of Guangxi, in his wifes hometown. However, since we live in the very south of Guangxi, it was a long trip. In a nice gesture, Terrence and his wife, whom we call Xiao Yi (Little Yi), arranged cars for all of the Longzhou guests, but we were 12 people squeezed into two cars, so four people in the back. The trip ended up taking us 15 uncomfortable hours, and we said several prayers as our driver began our trip driving 170 km on the highway. Later the road conditions worsened, and at one point we were literally stuck in the mud on the road! However, as the road conditions worsened along our journey, the scenery became lovelier. Guizhou and Guangxi are both provinces with high percentages of minority people, and their homes are traditional wooden houses, surrounded by green hills and rice paddies. Finally we arrived in Liping. We had a very nice weekend with Xiao Yis family; we were included in all of the family activities such as outings, meals, and just spending time together in the family home. Not only was it a great chance to practice our Chinese, we were also able to observe, and participate in, a Chinese familys home life. This is something that we have often longed to do, but getting invited home like this takes time.
There are very few similarities between western and Chinese weddings. Although we have discussed weddings in our classes, and therefore learned many Chinese wedding traditions, in theory these may or may not happen in a Chinese wedding. This is the third wedding we have seen in China, and we now realize that there is no real ceremony, but sometimes there are interesting wedding traditions and customs that are followed. One surprising thing about Chinese weddings, that we still fail to completely understand, is that Chinese couples will often go to a government office and register their marriage (so, legally get married). After this, the couple is technically married and will live together. The wedding party might take place later. Terrence and Xiao Yi have already been married a year now before their wedding party. Despite this, choosing the wedding date is an important custom for Chinese people; often parents choose the wedding date after consulting a local fortuneteller, to find a lucky date for the big day.
Terrence and Xiao Yis wedding consisted of a lunch and dinner for over 300 people, with time in-between for relaxing with the family. For the dinner, Tomas wore dress clothes and a tie, and I was wearing a Chinese dress. We soon realized we were overdressed compared to the Chinese guests. Tomas was the only one wearing a tie, and I was only one of three women wearing a dress! When the wedding started, we watched the guests enter the hall, and most of the people did not even look at the couple that stood in the doorway to greet them and, in accordance with Chinese customs, offer a cigarette (see photo). Most people just walked directly in, sat at a table, and began to eat right away. One hour later, most of the people had finished eating, had boxed up their leftovers in to-go boxes, and had left! We stayed a few hours longer with the family, and had a fun time, but we were still surprised by the other guests behavior. In many cases Chinese people invite many people for a celebratory wedding dinner, but there is no actual ceremony (although out in the countryside, there are more traditional customs). It seems to be more of a social obligation. Terrence and his wife apologized that the wedding was not more formal. One of Xiao Yis sisters explained, It would have been different if it would have been a son getting married
implying that since this family has four daughters, the weddings are toned down in importance.
Remembering our exhausting ride up to Guizhou, Tomas and I opted to take a car and then train home by ourselves. We arrived home in time for Tomas to participate in the final game of the English students soccer tournament. Although they came in 4th place in the tournament, they have played several exciting games and the students were very happy that Tomas joined them.
We wish you a pleasant May/June; well be in touch again before we leave China in about a month. This last month will be a busy time of preparations
and endings.
Rachel & Tomas

As I browsed through the latest albums that were released this September, one in particular caught my eye. While many pop bands have made their debut, I have been searching for a band with a different sound. Dubstep may be fun to listen to, but the world of K-Pop is more than the most popular bands with the best clothes and composers. To truly appreciate the unique sound of Korean music, you need to dig a bit deeper. Most people stick to the main groups since they are easy to buy, get information on, and support. But the bands that are overlooked can be some of the best out there. Even though I want to review that latest bands as well, who have their own sound and style that are also unique to K-Pop, I also want to take time to look at other bands that most people have never heard of. Mainstream artists are hardworking and talented, and I still love the music that they put out, but there are bands who work hard as well, and are also talented, without getting much recognition. So, today I will be writing a review about the Co-Ed groups "4REST", and their first mini album!
4REST's 1st Mini Album, released September 13th 2012!
It is extremely difficult to find information on bands that are not very popular in the "western" market. What little I found on this band was mostly in Korean, and it took a while to find basic details on the group. So I'll say right now that I can't tell you much about the member themselves, but I can say what I did find out. The members of the group are two men, Kim Jin Seok & Kang Sung Min, and two women, Ahn Sung Mi & Park Young Mi. Jin Seok originally debuted with YG Entertainment as a part of the duo "XO" in 1995, while little is known about the musical background of Sung Min, though I saw his name under the title song First Snow's Love for The Snow Queen OST. Young mi debuted on MBC's "Riverside Song Festival" in 1989, and Sung Mi won first prize at MBC's "University Music Festival" with the group Party Cats in 2008! The band name is pronounced like "Forest", which should be obvious with their tree logo. They debuted February 23rd 2012 with the single "Man Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus", and I'm glad to hear more music from them!
The album artwork is simple and fun, which really matches the vibe of the band. I love the semi-matching clothes, the matching orange phones, and the clean white backdrop for it! Plus, I really do like their logo with the tree coming out of it. There technically is no title to the album, it's just "1st Mini Album" or "1st". It doesn't really need a fancy or creative name, and it makes it so there really isn't a "title song" either. The kind of music that they put out is really bohemian, laid back, and classic sounding. They use many different instruments and it makes for a kind of jazz lounge sound. Their genre is named Ballad at times, which suits them in a way but I feel like they go a bit beyond that simple title. Because they are older, more experienced, musicians, they have an old-school/ retro kind of sound, which is not boring in the least. It's the perfect "Indie" album to listen to when you want to relax and have a drink. I'm a sucker for that kind of music, so I obviously like them a lot. Each member brings their own voice to the songs, while still blending well with one another for the harmonies. They sound like singing groups are supposed to, they each can stand out or fuse together when singing, and there isn't a main front man because they are all equal in talent. Now that my complimenting rant is over, let's move on the the songs!
- 이별을 씻다가
Can I say that I love the use of the harmonica in this song? I'll jump to the bridge for a second and say that I love the harmonica solo! You don't get to hear that very much in music anymore, and I used to learn the harmonica so I love the sound of it. That really added a bluesy element to the song. It starts of with the sound of rain and the piano, gradually building up, and moves into a simpler sound. The English translation of this song is "Separating Wash" or "Washes a Separation". I suppose you could translate it as "The Rain Separates Us" or something similar to that. Even though it is a rough translation, I can gather what they mean. It's a sad song about separation, relating it to water or rain. Since my Korean isn't very good I can't say much else about it, and it's very difficult to find information on their songs. But the music speaks for itself. It has a very melancholy feeling to it, like a person slowly walking through the rain and remembering the person they love, who they can no longer be with. Their vocals express a lot of emotion for the song and you can feel the sadness and separation by the way they sing. The slow piano in the background, slow paced beat, and occasional cello and strings add to the feeling. The song is so complex when you listen closely, but it is also well balanced so it doesn't sound too complicated (you aren't overwhelmed with instruments and sounds). The women's vocals are very powerful, yet restrained, and the harmonies are done wonderfully! Overall, it can either be relaxing or sad depending on your mood and the time of day. However you perceive it, the song is still very beautiful, and almost delicate sounding.
- Star (별)
This song has an '80s-'90s ballad/lounge song feel to it. It's synth heavy in the beginning, and moves on to a wind and string section for the chorus. It really reminds me of the music that my parents would listen to on occasion when I was growing up. The chimes that are placed throughout the song give it a magical feel that draws you in. There is so much going on in this song, that I'm stuck just trying to describe it! It really sounds a lot more like a duet, for most of the song, as the man and woman go back and forth throughout the track. As it progresses, more voices join in and the voices get stronger and more passionate. The intro is a fun kind of throwback to older music, but I like the ending more, around the three minute mark. They start singing more as a group and the sound changes slightly as time goes by. While the only English that's in the song is "Goodbye", it's done well and suits the mood, making it a good addition to the lyrics. The song build up a lot near the end, so much that they almost sound like a choir, and then trails off for the ending with "goodbye". It may have a lounge feel to it, but it's not lazy at all. There is a lot of energy in the song, for both the instruments and vocals, yet it's restrained enough that it still retains their slow ballad mood. It has a very mature sound to it that is an acquired taste, that I like very much.
- Habit (습관)
The Saxophone for the intro? Brilliant. I miss saxophone music, a lot. That smooth jazz, Kenny G, sound should never be lot in my opinion! Even though it has a strong Jazz feeling to it, it's balanced out with the violins in the background. It's as if they don't want to fit one genre, and instead combine different ones to give their music a unique sound. If you can't get to a Jazz Lounge, you can always synthesize one, for at least 4-5 minutes, in your home with this song. I find the best way to describe this song is Classy. It just sounds like classy music, it makes me feel more mature and refined by listening to it! Each member of the band really shines as well. The whole track is up and down, with high and low notes, fast and slow parts, and different opposite elements throughout the song. The song fades out slowly, with the instruments and vocals still going strong, until it goes completely silent, which is a different sound than the build at the beginning. I am so glad they are a Co-Ed group, because the contrast between the male and female vocals, especially in this song, bring more depth to their music.
- Will You Marry Me? (결혼할까요?)
This song is translated "Will You Marry Me" or "Let's Get Married". It's a great love song about wanting to marry a person, obviously! So far this is the most "group" sounding song out of the bunch, most of it is sung with all of the members in harmony. You get some more, well played, harmonica in this song, along with the mystical and bright sound of the chimes. The whole song sounds like they are smiling as they sing, it has that kind of happiness to it. I guess a good way to describe it would be that, to me, it reminds me of a blushing man or woman when they are confessing. It's really sweet and innocent sounding, while also being sincere. The vocals stand out the most to me, the music is lighter than in the other songs. You really get to hear their talent in the song, and how well they work together musically. There are a lot of harmonies throughout the song, between two woman and men, a man and a woman, and all of them together. It sounds like the end of the album, and since this is the last of their new songs on the album that makes sense. It seems to end abruptly, the last instrument you hear is the harmonica and the song is silent for the last couple seconds. I think this would make a wonderful live performance to end a concert, it has that sing-along, last hurrah, feel to it. It's a great addition to the album, and I like it very much!
- Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus
(화성에서 온 남자 금성에서 온 여자)
As the album comes to a close, you get their first single to end with. Most artists will put their single on their first album, if they made a single before it, and it's nice to get all of their music so far on one disc. This song is really fun and matches the personalities of the members. It's a foot-tapping, head-bobbing, kind of song that puts a smile on your face. It has a kind of flirtatious and sarcastic kind of sound to it, if that makes sense. As if the men and women are poking fun at each other, not in a kind of upset or mean way, but in a friendly way. Like the last song, you really get to hear their voices and ability to harmonize well. Each member has a powerful yet restrained voice, with a slightly different tone than the others. It sounds more like a jam session with friends than a professional song, in the best sense. If I saw them performing this, I bet they would have huge smiles on their faces and I would have a lot of fun watching! In fact, for your viewing pleasure, I was able to find a recording of a live performance of this song Here! I wish I could have been there, because they have great stage presence and it looks like so much fun, I was really drawn in! (The quality of the recording isn't the best, but it's still worth watching.) I wish that I would have heard this song when it came out, because I like it very much, and I am very glad that it's on their album.
The final songs on the CD are Instrumentals of the first and last songs. I love instrumentals because, well, you can listen to the instruments! It's wonderful being able to listen to the music apart from the vocals, because you can appreciate it more, and it makes listening to the full track more enjoyable. You can also use them to sing Karaoke if you want!
That is the first mini album by 4rest! They have a cool bluesy, jazzy, sound to them that I love! Older and more mature artists like this put out great music, and I really recommend listening to the album at least once. While not much is known about them, I felt like I knew what kind of people they are by listening to their music. They really put their heart and soul into what they do, and you can tell. This isn't a strictly Indie, Jazz, or Blues album at all, it's a 4rest album. They have a unique sound to their music that sets them apart, and made me take the time to write about them. Out of a long list of groups that released something lately, they stood out the most. It may not be everyone's taste, but it's worth a shot. I'll say right now, if I ever see that they are playing live near me I will be there! Because their music and personalities really shine and draw me in. It's just good music, I don't really know what else to say! The whole album is well balanced and each song is connected without sounding the same.
Now for the bad news... While their single is available on iTunes to download, their album is not (at least currently). I really wish that it were because I would snatch it up right away. You can buy the pysical album online at different stores. I was able to find one Here for about $12-$14 with shipping.It's on my "to buy" list. The seasons are changing to Fall and Winter, which is slower paced and overcast, and this kind of relaxing album is perfect for it! So check it out, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
See you next time you jump down the Rabbit hole,

In a summer in which the absence of big-name Real Madrid signings has been criticised, president, Florentino Perez, sent a strong message to the supporters during Mariano's presentation.
Rather than dwelling on the departures that rocked Los Blancos, Perez was at his bullish best.
"We had an exceptional squad already and we took advantage of this time to reinforce various areas," he said to reporters.
"The best goalkeeper of the World Cup, Courtois, has arrived, a great defender in Odriozola, a goalkeeper with an extraordinary future (Lunin), one of the great rising stars of Brazilian football in Vinicius as well as Valverde and Reguilon from the academy.
"Now we can add Mariano, who has goal scoring in his DNA."
The president also justified the policy of signings.
"We know that the road is the path traced by our president Santiago Bernabeu," he continued.
"The best players in the world, the best in Spain and the best from our academy.
"We will remain loyal to our history. "

A Gatsby themed bar for a Flogas Cocktail Reception
We had the pleasure of providing our services for a corporate event in Wales, including our Gastby themed bar, 1920s cocktails and flair bartenders for a cocktail reception. The reception was for British energy supplier Flogas taking place in the beautiful Vale Resort close to Cardiff, Wales. Nestled within a 650-acre private estate in the beautiful South Wales countryside, the Vale Resort is far more than your average luxury hotel and the perfect setting for a Great Gatsby themed bar and event.
Located in the Vale of Glamorgan in South Wales, Mr. Gatsby may be far from home, however the essence of the roaring 20's was certainly present. Putting our Wales mobile bar hire to the test, the 5 meter Gatsby themed bar was an easy choice for Flogas with the high definition graphics and themed back panels to really set the scene.
With around 120 guests in attendance at the Flogas cocktail reception, the 5 meter bar was just perfect to ensure that everybody were served quickly and efficiently throughout the event. We have a wide range of mobile bars available, ranging from the HD range which features high definition graphics such as the Gatsby bar – or the Classic range which features genuine beech wood fronted bars, purple slate bars and more. Available in all manner of sizes ranging from 2 meters up to almost any length of your choosing, our Wales mobile bar hire, or bar hire elsewhere in the UK will be sure to meet your requirements. Be it an island bar, a mirrored bar, or just your standard 2 meter set up we have every base covered.
Working alongside Wow Events Hire, feedback from the event was very positive. In addition to our Gatsby themed bar, flair bartenders and glassware we also offered the choice of two classic 1920s cocktails. We are keen cocktail creators here at Ace Bar Events, here you can take a look at some of our own very fine creations. For the 1920s Gatsby themed event we had the delicious Raspberry Ricky and the Bees Knees, check out the recipes below:

The Sunset Restaurant Malibu Beach Elopement | Rebecca + Zach
Location: Malibu, California
Venue: The Sunset Restaurant
Rebecca and Zach got married on a monday morning surrounded by a small group of their nearest and dearest. It was a perfect day in Malibu for an elopement; overcast skies gave way to eventual sunshine that made the ocean sparkle in the distance. The beach was quiet with barely anyone else visible but the dolphins seen in the distance.
There is something so special about being invited to photograph an elopement. I feel especially honored when clients choose me because there is a profound intimacy that comes along with photographing them. Sometimes I'm one of only ten other people there. Other times I am the only other person there. One of my favorite aspects of elopements is the portrait element. We have plenty of time to roam around and have fun without the time constraints that often come along with more traditional weddings.

On RFBENCHMARK.eu you can also find Drive Test type measurements. By using professional equipment it is possible to measure the quality of networks and services offered by mobile operators. The measurements include parameters such as:
- signal level,
- quality of voice calls – which can't be measured with the use of mobile application,
- download speed,
- upload speed.
The most interesting parameter measured here is the quality of voice calls. None of the available mobile applications allows for measurement of this parameter! During the Drive Test there are voice calls made between a mobile terminal (tested) and a receiving device (eg. ISDN, another mobile terminal). Test connections can be made to and from the measuring terminal, depending on the chosen measuring sequence. In the measurement the voice quality is assessed by a 5-point MOS scale described in the Methodology.
Drive Test allows for very accurate comparison of the performance of mobile networks because measurements are made simultaneously in the same radio conditions with the help of specialised measuring equipment. For details on measurements go to Methodology.
How to enable displaying of Drive Test measurements on the interactive map?
On RFBENCHMARK.eu home page, on the right side of the map there are buttons for selecting sources of measurements: a mobile application or Test Drive. Below, you can choose which of the measured parameters to be displayed on the map.
There are more and more Drive Test measurements. Check out the latest made in Minsk!

"The Risayet (head of the Islamic Community in the Balkans) in BiH and Directorate General of the Republic of Turkey signed an agreement in Sarajevo regarding financing and completion of the headquarters of the riyaset.
The money that the Directorate General Republic of Turkey money will pay should be sufficient for the continuation of work and its completion. The building of the administrative headquarters of the Istlamic Community in BiH began nine years ago and still hasn't been finished. 10 million Bosnian Marks (6,041,785.95) are required to finish the project.
The decision to build the permanent headquarters of the Islamic Community in BiH in Sarajevo's Kovaci neighborhood was adopted on 26 June 2007 and construction commenced in February 2009. The deadline for the completion of the project was 2011, but it came to a screeching halt when the money went missing." (translated from klix.ba)

Jana & Jason
Weddings come in all shapes and sizes. Some are extravagant and luxurious, while others modest and simple. Yet how, where and when doesn't matter all that much in the end, what matters the most is the presence of love — strong, affectionate, kind, and above else, true love. Jana & Jason might have not have had an opulent ceremony but what they do have is the kind of bond that makes a relationship last, come rain or shine.

The Siege of Jerusalem1 Ah, Ariel, Ariel,
the city a where David encamped!
Add year to year;
let the feasts run their round.
2Yet I will distress Ariel,
and there shall be moaning and lamentation,
and she shall be to me like an Ariel. ▼
▼ Ariel could mean lion of God, or hero (2 Samuel 23:20), or altar hearth (Ezekiel 43:15–16)
3 c And I will encamp against you all around,
and will besiege you d with towers
and I will raise siegeworks against you.
4 e And you will be brought low; from the earth you shall speak,
and from the dust your speech will be bowed down;
your voice shall come from the ground like f the voice of a ghost,
and from the dust your speech shall whisper.
5 But the multitude of your foreign foes shall be like g small dust,
and the multitude of the ruthless like passing chaff.
h And in an instant, suddenly,
6 i you will be visited by the Lord of hosts
with thunder and with earthquake and great noise,
with whirlwind and tempest, and the flame of a devouring fire.
7And j the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel,
all that fight against her and her stronghold and distress her,
shall be k like a dream, a vision of the night.
8 l As when a hungry man dreams, and behold, he is eating
and awakes with his hunger not satisfied,
or as when a thirsty man dreams, and behold, he is drinking
and awakes faint, with his thirst not quenched,
so shall the multitude of all the nations be
that fight against Mount Zion.
9 Astonish yourselves ▼
▼Or Linger awhileand be astonished;
blind yourselves and be blind!
Be drunk, but not with wine;
n stagger, but not with strong drink!
10 o For the Lord has poured out upon you
a spirit of deep sleep,
and has closed your eyes (the prophets),
and covered your heads (the seers).
11And the vision of all this has become to you like the words of a book that is p sealed. When men give it to one who can read, saying, "Read this," he says, "I cannot, for it is sealed." 12And when they give the book to one who cannot read, saying, "Read this," he says, "I cannot read." 13 And the Lord said:
"Because q this people r draw near with their mouth
and honor me with their lips,
while their hearts are far from me,
and their fear of me is a commandment taught by men,
14therefore, behold s I will again
do wonderful things with this people,
with wonder upon wonder;
and t the wisdom of their wise men shall perish,
and the discernment of their discerning men shall be hidden."
15 Ah, u you who hide deep from the Lord your counsel,
whose deeds are v in the dark,
and who say, "Who sees us? Who knows us?"
16 w You turn things upside down!
Shall the potter be regarded as the clay,
that the thing made should say of its maker,
"He did not make me";
or the thing formed say of him who formed it,
"He has no understanding"?
17 Is it not yet a very little while
x until Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field,
and the fruitful field shall be regarded as a forest?
18In that day y the deaf shall hear
z the words of a book,
and out of their gloom and darkness
aa the eyes of the blind shall see.
19 ab The meek shall obtain fresh joy in the Lord,
and the poor among mankind shall exult in the Holy One of Israel.
20For the ruthless shall come to nothing
and ac the scoffer cease,
and all who watch to do evil shall be cut off,
21who by a word make a man out to be an offender,
and ad lay a snare for him who reproves in the gate,
and with an empty plea ae turn aside him who is in the right.
22Therefore thus says the Lord af who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob: "Jacob shall no more be ashamed,
no more shall his face grow pale.
23For when he sees his children,
ag the work of my hands, in his midst,
they will sanctify my name;
ah they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob
and will stand in awe of the God of Israel.
24And those ai who go astray in spirit will come to understanding,
and those who murmur will accept instruction."

They conclude that because so much focus was on 'Trump-Russia' rather than the role of the platforms themselves, the social media giants are getting a free pass on their position as aids to weaponised disinformation.

Amuka is the stage name used by singer/songwriter Sheila Brody Kelly. Originally from Detroit, she was discovered by The Godfather of Funk, George Clinton, she is currently collaborating on a new album with him. Amuka is also starring in a Full Length Feature Film now in Production and George Clinton will be included in the Film.
Amuka is a songwriter and vocalist, she transports listeners to another emotional place, as each chord of her voice touches a tender zone in the heart. Her tone is familiar - her words too, as they stir deep down in the soft part of your soul. She makes your heart joyful, makes you shout, as she disperses soothing medicine to make everything alright through lyrics, in which she tells the story of a woman whose faith cannot be broken. They are stories we can all relate to.
Amuka's talent like her stories are authentic-proven on the world's stage as a recording artist whose musical efforts traverse their way up Billboard's dance, rock, international and pop charts. Her powerful voice has been behind several enduring hits of this era and she has now solidified her place in the Music Industry as a bona fide anthem singing Diva.
Following her musical destiny, she developed the persona Blackwood, relocating to Rome, Italy and where she went on to have the number one dance album, beating out Madonna with her smash hit "Peace" from the album entitled "Friday Night". She then became known as Amuka, and released her 2003 anthem, "Appreciate Me" a hit that marked her with the number 1 song for the Top 200 Dance Songs of the year. Her second single as Amuka is "U Ain't That Good" which charted up to the number 3 position on Billboard, and is still appreciated by club crowds globally today.
Amuka didn't slow down, as she released another huge song entitled "I Want More" that also went number 1 on the Billboard Dance charts. Amuka then signed a Recording Contract with Ultra Records for her radio smash hit "Craving" and now sits poised to continue her domination of Dance / Pop music and the Club scene worldwide, as she vows to keep turning out hit records for her legions of fans.
Amuka is a total package artist, who writes and sings from her heart. Her fan base is loyal and they come out to see her perform live by the masses. Her fans appreciate and can relate to her lyrics because they have lived them as well. Amuka is continuously grateful and realizes that being in a state of gratitude keeps you in a good place, only bringing good things into your life.
"You've got to keep your heart pure. Keep it small and delicate with love and compassion, that's all you need. There's no room in your heart for doubt, anger, resentment or fear. There's only room for love because God is love and everything that comes into your life is God, you just have to look for him in every situation. Love and Happiness are the keys to longevity and the fuel for life."

I'll be in London for a day. Is it possible to go from Heathrow to Jamie Oliver's Fifteen for lunch?
2 Answers
Yes you could jump on the underground. I have not been to 15 but I hear it is good. Jamie also has restaurants all over London now called Jamie's Italian I have been to a few and they are amazing!! And very reasonably prices you should be able to find one closer to heathrow as 15 is the other side of London. Hope this helps over 7 years agoAnswered by Dwight B via Ask a Nomad iPad app
I think it's possible just make sure you allow enough time in case you miss any of your connections. Of course you need to pre-book via Fifteen's website. We've been to the Trattoria which was fabulous. You can catch the train from airport and then get a connection to Old Street. Fifteen Trattoria (and the restaurant) is just a few minutes walk from there.
If your time is very limited you could also take a cab right to Fifteen.

Best Moisturizer Ever!
This whomps on any other lip balm. I basically have to continuously apply to replace what I'm licking off, it's that tasty. No soy or canola oils, just pure, clean fat. It's bigger than most lip balms and can easily be used on your face or anywhere in need of moisturizing. It truly is food for your skin!
Sweet treat!
I love the new honey lemon fat stick! Perfectly sweet, a hint of lemon. And with the awesome moisturizing elements we love. If I don't have this with me at work, my whole day feels off!

Hillary Clinton rejects the "shameful law passed in North Carolina". She wants to be sure people can use whatever bathroom they want but where is her concern about the latest horror out of Saudi Arabia, one of the countries who donates to her Foundation? They are talking about beheading overt homosexuals and cross dressers on the first offense. Will she react?
She reacted to the bathroom law in North Carolina today.
"We can also break down the barriers of systemic racism and discrimination. We can invest in communities of color, reform our broken criminal justice system, replace the school to prison pipeline with a cradle to college pipeline. We can reject discrimination against LGBT people, like the shameful law passed in North Carolina."
Hillary's Foundation accepted a donation in the range of $1 million to $5 million via the Friends of Arabia, or FSA, a thinly veiled public-relations organ of the repressive Saudi regime. After making the donations, Saudi Arabia received an incredible arms deal. The Foundation also took money from other middle eastern countries that deprive LGBTs of their rights including Oman, Qatar, and the UAE.
Last November, Rand Paul said, "She wants to be for women's rights," Paul said. "She's going to have to give that money back to Saudi Arabia."
If she wants to be for LGBT rights, she needs to return the money.
The religion of Saudi Arabian peace will now behead gays if they show their sexuality online or in public.
The Express UK reports:
The government in the Sunni Kingdom is reportedly demanding tougher punishments on those found guilty and claimed social media has caused a boom in homosexuality.
According to Okaz newspaper, the last six months has seen 35 cases of homosexuality and 50 cases of cross-dressers as well as cases of "sexual perversion" in Saudi Arabia.
The judiciary reportedly also claimed there has been a large rise in "perverts" displaying "sins and obscenities" on social media in the Sunni Kingdom.
It comes after a Saudi man was arrested this week when he raised the rainbow flag outside his home in Jeddah.
The doctor was arrested by religious police within hours of hoisting the flag in the port city. [He's now saying he didn't know what it represented.]
LGBT rights are not recognized in Saudi Arabia. Homosexuality and transgenderism are widely seen as immoral and indecent activities, and the law punishes acts of homosexuality or cross-dressing with death, imprisonment, fines, corporal punishment, or whipping/flogging. The death penalty had been given out only for the second offense, but no more. They said there has been a large rise in "perverts" displaying "sins and obscenities" on social media in the Sunni Kingdom.
Social justice warrior Hillary is worried about whether a man can go in a girl's locker room but not concerned about the real crimes against gays – not one iota.

I suck at these, but I'm gonna fill it out anyway. So, I'm addicted to manga and anime and I've been drawing in the manga style for about 4 years. I'm a huge fan of Vocaloid. I have a light blue DSi covered with Shugo Chara stickers. I am a quarter Japanese and love Japanese culture, food, music, and pretty much anything about Japan. I am a freshman in high school and I am almost 15 years old. I could go on saying a bunch more about myself, but you probably already stopped reading this, so, yeah...

LISTEN: Kurt Cobain's Daughter Releases Song
Frances Bean Cobain has proved that she's a chip off the old block, posting a snippet of a new, original song.
The Instagram clip, which has now been deleted, shows Frances strumming her acoustic guitar while softly singing: "So you tried to let me in / That's nice / How's that going?"
Back in July, The Business Times reported that the 26-year-old daughter of Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love had signed a two-album deal with Columbia Records. However, she has yet to officially confirm the news. In the past, Cobain has said that her Instagram posts aren't going to be officially released, but that she is interested in pursuing a career in music.
On the 24th anniversary of her father's death, the artist/model debuted her first original song on the platform, jam packed with raw emotion. The song, which has since been deleted, featured the lyrics: "I think I saw you when I was small / I think I found you, a penny for your good thoughts."
She's definitely following in her father's footsteps!

Here's an interview done by Girls Love DJ's:
GirlsLoveDJs: Hey Fabien, there's not much info out there about you, except for some dry facts, like you worked with Mr. Oizo, Uffie and did some bangin' EP's for BPitchcontrol and Ed Banger. Ok if we get a little bit deeper than that?
Feadz: SURE
GirlsLoveDJs: How were you signed on BPitchcontrol? The old-fashioned 'I sent a demo-way' or did miss Alien see you somewhere?
Feadz: I'M DJ FOR VERY VERY LONGTIME I'M PASSIONATED BY THAT , BEEN BUYING MUSIC AND SCRATCHING FOR THE LAST 16 YEARS . ELLEN SAW ME PLAY IN 2000 IN BERLIN , AND WHILE I WAS PLAYING SOME EARLY BPITCHCONTROL RECORDS CAUSE I LOVED THIS LABEL SHE INTRODUCED HERSELF TO ME ,BEEN VERY NICE AND GAVE ME A FEW PROMOS . SINCE THIS MEETING I WANTED TO DO MUSIC FOR HER - BY 2001 I SEND HER SOME MUSIC AND SHE LIKED IT.
GirlsLoveDJs: Even though it's sort of logical for the fans you switched from BPitchcontrol to Ed Banger (just seems to fit you a lot better), can you tell us how that happened? Is it linked to the Oizo-productions?
Feadz: UFFIE WAS A SPECIAL PROJECT AND PEDRO WAS IN TOUCH WITH IT FIRST , IT WAS SPECIAL AND IT WAS FITTING ED BANGER BETTER, I RELEASE 2 EP THERE ON MY OWN TOO BUT I'M STILL CLOSE TO BPITCH AND ALWAYS GAVE THEM NEW TRACKS FOR THEIR COMPILATIONS.
GirlsLoveDJs: How did you team up with Mr. Oizo? He seems like a loner, just doing his own thing, but he involved you into the production process of his Analog Worms Attack. How did that happen (where did you meet, how come he chose you?)
Feadz: LIKE EVERY MUSIC STORY IT JUST STARTED WITH FRIENDSHIP I LEARNED A LOT DURING ANALOG WORMS ATTACK AND I BEEN WANTED TO BE REUNITED WITH HIM EVEN THOUGH HE IS A LONER ! SO EVERYTIME I HAD GOOD TRACKS WITH UFFIE I ASKED HIM IF HE WANTED TO RMX OR PRODUCE THEM.
GirlsLoveDJs: Almost the same question about Uffie; how did you meet, and when did you realize she could become the 'Queen of Electro'? (so many successful collaborations with a.o. you, Mr. Oizo, Justice and now her own album)
Feadz: WE FORMED A COUPLE YEARS BEFORE DURING MUSIC AND I JUST INVOLVE HER MORE IN MY WORK AND FORCED HER TO SING AND WRITE, NATURAL PROCESS TOO, NO AMBITIONS EXCEPT HAVING FUN.
GirlsLoveDJs: You can almost smell where this interview is going; I'm asking about all these collaborations, cause that's what your most famous for (except for your turntable-skills). Of course everyone's familiar with your EPs, which were successful, but didn't you ever feel like producing your own full-length album?
Feadz: I WAS SO INTO THIS DJ STUFF WHO ARE DOING MUSIC WHEN THEY FEEL LIKE IT ,ON SEVERAL LABEL NEVER FULL LENGHT, BUT TIME IS DIFFERENT AND I NEED TO SET MY SOUND ON A HIGHER MEDIA NOW. I'M CURRENTLY WORKING ON AN ALBUM
GirlsLoveDJs: Could you try to explain what makes your selection and technique 'hors pair'? I hope you understand, this question is for the people who haven't been able to catch one of your sets yet, and don't know what they have been missing out on until upcoming GirlsLoveDJs night. (maybe you can explain how you developed your turntable-skills with hip-hop and later-on used what you learned back then in your electro-sets)
Feadz: I'M JUST VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT WHAT A DJ IS MAKING PEOPLE DISCOVER NEW MUSIC, TAKE THEM SOMEWHERE THEY DID'NT EXPECT, SHOW HOW GOOD HE CAN BE WITH 2 OR 3 TURNTABLE OR CDJ, NOW ARTISTS ARE MOSTLY BOOKED ON THE HITS THEY DO, NO MATTER IF THEY BOUGHT ANY RECORDS IN THEIR LIFE IT'S GREAT FOR THEM BUT IT SEEMS THAT THE DJ CULTURE IS DIYNG A BIT. I JUST TRY TO DEFEND THIS "ART" OR IF IT'S TOO MUCH I WOULD SAY "SKILLS".
GirlsLoveDJs: When can we expect another EP?
Feadz: 2010 I GUESS.
GirlsLoveDJs: Whatever happened to your turntablism group Audiomicid? Do you guys still team up every now and then?
Feadz: NO, TIME HAS CHANGED, THEY ARE DOING THEIR STUFF I'M DOING MINE.
GirlsLoveDJs: With which artist do you feel strongly connected, in a way that you like almost everything he/she produces, and what is your tip for 2010 for us?
Feadz: DON'T THINK I'M SPECIALLY CONNECTED TO ANYONE, I LOVE DIPLO ,BOYSNOIZE AND MANY OTHER WHO HAVE THIS DJ BACKGROUND AND I THINK THEY ARE DOING GREAT OPEN MIND MUSIC, EVERYONE WHO IS DOING A GREAT JOB IS A SCOURCE OF MOTIVATION AND INSPIRATION FOR ME. MY FEW TIPS FOR 2010 ARE JOY ORBINSON, YOUNG L, LIL-B, L-VIS 1990, ALVARO ......
GirlsLoveDJs: You seem like the ultimate crossover between hiphop and electro, any plans for productions for hiphop artists or are you forever lost for the hiphop-side?
Feadz: NO THERE WILL BE DEFINATLY SOME THINGS HAPPENING THERE.
GirlsLoveDJs: You must be the expert by now; do girls really love DJs? (don't hesitate to illustrate your answer with a nice anecdote).
Feadz: HAHAHHA, WHAT I CAN SAY IS THAT I'M DEFINATLY LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR PARTY TO JUDGE BY MYSELF !
GirlsLoveDJs: Ok by now it should be quite clear what the fans can expect from you, but what do you expect from the fans when you come rock Holland's most famous music temple 'Paradiso' @ GirlsLoveDJs?
Feadz: I'M EXPECTING CURIOSITY AND OPEN MIND, I'M NOT THERE TO PLAY SOME BLOG HITS THAT EVERYBODY KNOW.

SURFACE SKIS Elements Connected
Surface Skis is small brand but a big threat to larger competitors in the snow sports industry. Surface created a stronghold cult-like market in the industry that is sought after today - one that many other snow-brands seek to tap into.
OBJECTIVE:Create a cohesive line of graphics and create a fresh story annually based off natural elements. Including ski graphics, soft goods, accessories and website design.
- Our focus with ski graphics this season was to capture the solid real estate that one color can hold and attract. Implementing very little textures, using only the surface to build the canvas.

I so wasn't expecting this!! One more page this week?! it is usually once a week, but this week, we had 2 pages!! when discovered on facebook (I follow it's page), this was my reaction "OoO NO WAY!!".
Now regarding the context of the page, well well, interesting, right off the bat once the man says "I think you might be confused, little girl. You're in the wrong place..." and she replies like that, Vesper is on fire, then comes Tegan to difuse not only the situation but also the tension, to not start a rumble xDD.

text: BETHESDA (AFP) - The world's top three players struggled in the first round of the 111th US Open at Congressional Country club here on Thursday while lesser lights set the pace. World No.1 Luke Donald, No.2 Lee Westwood and No.3 Martin Kaymer all opened solidly enough at the devlish par-three 10th. But, playing in the same grouping, they were all soon in trouble, especially Englishman Donald, who dropped six stroke in six holes from the 13th. He battled back with a birdie at the first, his 10th hole, but was three-over through 14 holes. Germany's Kaymer, who has struggled for form since the Masters in April, fared no better, going out in one-over par 36 and then dropping strokes at the first and third to also stand at three over. Westwood was also out in 36, and a birdie at the second brought him to level par, but bogeys at the third and fourth set him back at two over. The early lead in the clubhouse at one-under 70, went to unheralded American qualifier Chez Reavie, who was in the first grouping out in the morning from the first tee. Out on the course, Ryan Palmer of the United States was three under through 11 holes with Sweden's Johan Edfors two under through 13 holes and American Jeff Overton level with him through 12. For the first time since he made his debut as an amateur in 1995, there was no Tiger Woods at the US Open, serious knee and tendon injuries sustained at the Masters in April having ruled him out this time around. His tumble down the world rankings ushered in a period of uncertainty at the top, with three players - Westwood, Kaymer and Donald - all taking turns to rule the roost in the last seven months. The sentimental favourite this week among many golf fans was 41-year-old Phil Mickelson who has endured more than his fair share of US Open heartbreak, having finished second a record five times in the tournament he most wants to win. Mickelson will head out in the afternoon in the company of emerging American talent Dustin Johnson and 22-year-old Ulsterman Rory McIlroy, who will be out to banish memories of his closing 80 at the Masters in April after leading by four going into the final round. In a packed international field of 156 golfers, US Golf Association officials have strung together some eye-catching groupings such as the all-Italian line-up of the Molinari brothers, Francesco and Edoardo, along with 18-year-old prodigy Matteo Manassero and Spaniards Sergio Garcia, Miguel Angel Jimenez and Alvaro Quiros. Then there are recent Masters winners Charl Schwartzel and Trevor Immelman of South Africa and Zach Johnson of the United States as well as defending champion Graeme McDowell with British Open champion Louis Oosthuizen and US amateur champion Peter Uihlein. The par-71 Blue course at Congressional, west of Washington, has been extensively remodeled since Ernie Els won the last time it was played here in 1997 and the consensus verdict is "tough but fair."

Are you part of a school undergoing accreditation?
Welcome to the CMSA CACMS accreditation toolkit.
This site is designed by medical student leaders for fellow medical students who are assisting in and with their school's MD program accreditation.
This guide is designed to supplement the CFMS Accreditation Toolkit and CACMS Role of Medical Students in Accreditation. Our aim is to provide additional clarity and resources to support students assisting with accreditation.
We have done our best to keep this guide succinct and accurate. Please note the tools on this site are accurate as of April 2016.
The toolkit is comprised of a quick summary document as well as core resources broken into sections
Section 1: Introduction to Accreditation, the Calgary accreditation site & Calgary ISA
Please visit the Calgary medical student accreditation site for a primer on CACMS accreditation, and to download/view all Calgary ISA documents, including an accreditation infographic.
Section 2: The Calgary Experience
Here you will find the Calgary ISA methods
Highlights of the Calgary model which we would recommend students employ are:
- Running a pre-accreditation survey 4/5 months before the accreditation survey to reflect upon concerns/issues raised by students since the last site visit.
- Early dissemination of data to the school's accreditation team.
- Student & Faculty agreement on core issues/areas of concern, and creation of student-faculty co-chaired working groups to address concerns. These groups must be endorsed and supported by the big Dean.
- A commitment to student engagement and regular communication from the ISA/ student accreditation leads
As well as tools created by the Calgary team:
Calgary Survey questions
- Pre-accreditation survey questions
- Survey questions (pre-clerks)
- Survey questions (clerks)
- Sample survey questions (in lieu of focus groups)
Calgary 51 elements that students can report upon & Calgary element assessment guide
Section 3: Useful external resources
While the ISA is meant to be an independent analysis written by students the Calgary ISA team found it immensely useful to reference and utilize external data and academic literature. Here are a few core resources.
CACMS Resources
Critical elements and standards that can lead to an adverse accreditation outcomes
Section 4: Calgary ISA team CACMS accreditation recommendations
A critical component of the accreditation process is a critical self reflection of the process after the site visit. Here you will find the Calgary ISA team's exit summary and recommendations
If you should have any questions about the Calgary accreditation process, please do not hesitate to contact:

Norton have belied their status as strugglers to pick up a prestigious gong.
Second Division Ancients won the Performance of the Week prize for the first week in March.
The panel were impressed that Ray Morton's blend of youth and experience stepped out of the relegation zone to emphatically thump high-flying Prudhoe 5-1.
The Ancients were ahead after just 45 seconds through Dan Pilling then rammed home the advantage with a brace from Chris Garbutt and goals by Brian Sherlock and debutant Anthony Barkas.
Ironically Prudhoe responded by picking up the following week's award with a 2-1 win at table-topping Consett.
