Radicals can't stop the Jesus Film – Central Asia
by Geoff 15 January 2020 No Comments
Central Asia: Radicals can't stop the Jesus Film
Jesus Film Project team members had arranged for a film showing outside a Central Asian village. Upon arrival near the community, an area they knew to be dangerous because of religious radicals, they sensed something was not right.
With no moon, all the team members could see were faint silhouettes of buildings and trees. They felt an unsettling and eerie foreboding but began playing music through the speakers to attract people from the nearby community to the film showing.
Nobody came, which almost never happens. Suddenly, they heard the sound of rustling bushes and the cracking of branches breaking under the feet of 12 radicals rushing toward them. Waving machetes, they screamed, "We are going to kill you and every infidel with you!" The three team members fled for their lives, running as fast as they could to their Jeep. With hearts pounding and fumbling to get the Jeep started, they sped away.
A year later, through prayer, they recognised that those people still needed to hear the Gospel, so they asked the Lord what they should do. In agreement, they felt God urging them to go back, although the risk was great. The members loaded the 'JESUS' film and equipment back into their Jeep, along with three boxes of Bibles, and headed for the village, several hours away.
'Can you give me a ride?' the police officer asked
On the road, they came to a police checkpoint – a potentially dangerous stop in the road considering the load of Bibles. The officer asked where they were going. Trying to be noncommittal, they said, "We are headed south." To their surprise, he said "Well so am I. Can you give me a ride?" There was no way they could refuse the officer's request. Insisting on climbing into the back of the Jeep, the officer sat on a box full of Bibles. They feared if the officer looked into the box, they could be arrested or possibly killed.
So they prayed and drove on. Soon, the team approached another police checkpoint. Popping his head out from the back of the Jeep, the first police officer told the other officers, "I'm with them. You don't need to search the vehicle." The police waved them through. This happened at three more police checkpoints, and all three times he got them through. At his request, they drove the officer to his home, where he invited them in for tea. Once there, he asked what they were planning. "We've come to show a film about the Great Prophet Isa (Jesus)."
In gratitude for their kindness, the officer asked, "What do you need?" This was the same village where radicals chased them out a year earlier, nearly killing them with machetes. "We need permission," they answered. "Oh, that's no problem. My brother is the mayor. Where do you want to show this film?" They asked, "Could we use the town square?" (This is where they had tried unsuccessfully before.) The policeman replied: "Sure, but you know we have some radical elements here. So I'm going to have my police guard you as you show the film."
That night 167 people came to Christ
The team prayed and set up their equipment. Once again, as they had a year earlier, they played music as darkness fell to draw the people. This time a crowd gathered, sat down and watched 'JESUS', hearing the Word of God in their heart language. For the first time in their lives, they learned who Jesus really was. The Holy Spirit ministered to their hearts. Jesus was not just a great prophet, but the Son of God who demonstrated power and authority over sickness and death, was raised from the dead, and offered all who believed in Him eternal life. That night 167 people came to Christ!
These new believers need the support of trained church leaders, but training programs are lacking. And due to the threat of extreme violence, any evangelism must be carried out with sensitivity and wisdom. Please pray for the safety, growth and spiritual maturity of those in underground house churches. Ask God for a miraculous explosion of religious freedom and that believers would be bold in sharing their faith with family and friends.

Supernatural Signs and Wonders break out among 1,000 Jews
by Geoff 6 January 2020 No Comments
December 7, 2015, by Kynan Bridges
What these men and women thought was a lecture on the supernatural soon became a powerful presentation about the kingdom of God. (Courtesy/Bob DuVall)
Amidst numerous reports of racial conflict, terrorist attacks, and religious tension, there is something tangible in the air in Israel. It's not the smell of gun powder or the resonating sound of sirens—but the supernatural presence of God.
Unfortunately, the secular news outlets have not captured the magnitude of what I recently witnessed in Israel.
For the first time in nearly 2,000 years, something miraculous took place during my recent trip to Israel: 1,000 unsaved Jewish people gathered in Tel Aviv to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ.
This was the most significant Jewish outreach since the book of Acts. Seats were filled to capacity. This was a very powerful event!
Men, women, and children listened intently as It's Supernatural host Sid Roth presented his testimony while an interpreter spoke Russian to the non-English speaking audience. Joshua Aaron led the people in Hebrew worship songs.
The room seemed quiet and cold. At first, people were unresponsive.
Initially, there seemed to be a great resistance to the message. A few people were being very distracting, while others left the auditorium for a while and then came back.
Unlike in the United States, these events rarely ever take place in Israel. In fact, the last time someone stood up and gave his testimony to this many Jews at once, it was Peter in the book of Acts.
All of a sudden, something shifted in the atmosphere. As Sid Roth began to talk about the unconditional love of God; you could see people's eyes opening and their hearts widening. As Sid went deeper into his testimony, people began to respond.
Then, the most supernatural thing began to happen: Roth stopped the testimony and began to share words of knowledge concerning physical aliments. As he prayed for those in attendance, hundreds stood up reporting that they had received instant physical healing. They were healed in their seats without the laying on of hands.
What they thought was a lecture on the supernatural became a powerful presentation of the Gospel of the kingdom of God.
The Scripture declares that the Jew requires a sign; this was evident in the responsiveness of the people to the power of God.
The time came to give the invitation to make Yeshua (Jesus) their Messiah and Lord. To my utter amazement, nearly everyone in the room stood up and prayed the prayer of repentance and salvation. Many people even stayed after for individual prayer. Local Messianic pastors will follow up and disciple those who made a decision to follow Jesus.
So, contrary to popular belief, God is moving in Israel. The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is alive and well.
Miracles are happening in Israel!

Jesus appears to Middle Eastern Muslim every night for a month
by Geoff 29 December 2019 No Comments
"He had the whole book of John verbatim in his notebook"
A church planter working in the Middle East has shared the miraculous ways the Gospel is moving across the persecuted region, including how Jesus appeared to a Muslim man every night for a month, reciting to him the entire Gospel of John.
David Platt, author and pastor of McLean Bible Church, recently interviewed a missionary identified only as Yazim.
"He lives and works in the Middle East where, not only is it illegal to share the Gospel, it's life-threatening to talk about how the Gospel is advancing," Platt said. Speaking via simulcast with a disguised voice, Yazim began by stating, "God is moving inside the Middle East with dreams, visions, and personal visitations."
He shared the story of a man who lived outside of an unnamed Middle Eastern city known for vast opium use. "This man said 'A man wearing all white knocked at my door every night and I couldn't look at him because his face was so shiny and bright,'" Yazim recalled.
"'When he would come inside, he asked me to write down what he said. The next night, he would come again and this went on for a whole month.'"
Yazim asked the man, "What did you write?" The man showed Yazim his notebook. In it was written: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him, and without him was not anything made that was made," the opening portion of the New Testament book of John.
"He had the whole book of John verbatim in his notebook," Yazim revealed.
"Jesus visited him every night until he finished the book. The amazing thing is, the man actually asked us, 'who was this man that visited me?'"
"I learned a valuable lesson: God will do his part, but we still have to do ours," he added. Platt revealed that Yazim's own conversion story is miraculous: His wife was a devout Muslim who, depressed by the demands of Islam, decided to take her own life. However, that very night, she heard the Gospel for the first time and dedicated her life to Jesus.
Following that event, she and her husband decided to stay in their homeland and dedicate their lives to sharing the Gospel. "Our focus is to make disciples who then start new churches," Yazim said. "We believe that what God commanded us to do that in Matthew 28. If you make disciples, churches will grow."
Yazim and his wife hope to plant ten more churches, but making disciples takes time and funding, as new Christians must be taken to secret locations to be trained. "This training, along with supporting the leaders, will cost $25,000 for ten churches to be developed," he shared.
Platt, who earlier in the night announced the proceeds from his latest book will go to "urgent needs in the world," said, "Well, Yazim, we praise God for what you're doing on the front lines in the Middle East. We want you to know we are behind you, that you're not alone." "Count us in for that $25,000 to plant ten churches in the Middle East," Platt declared.
Such stories of Jesus appearing in visions to Muslims throughout the Islamic world are not uncommon. According to Mission Frontiers magazine, out of 600 Muslim converts, 25 percent experienced a dream that led to their conversion.
Last year, a former Muslim-turned-pastor who started hundreds of churches in Pakistan said that many Muslims are making decisions to convert after Jesus Himself visits them in dreams and visions. "It's very dangerous for anyone to preach the Word of God face-to-face in non-Western countries," the pastor said. "So God reveals things through dreams. People are very faithful in the East, placing themselves in positions to see the signs of God by studying the Word of God," he added. "They watch for the signs and miracles to show that the Word of God is alive. It is a privilege to own a Bible in the East.

Randy Clark describes personal revival beginnings
God led Randy Clark into global revival ministries, particularly from the Toronto Blessing of January 1994. "The Lord said, 'They're not wanting you. They're wanting Me.'"
Revival blessings continue to explode worldwide in evangelism, healing, miracles and signs and wonders as in the New Testament.
Randy Clark reads from his personal journal, recounting the events that lead up to the Toronto Blessing. Before revival comes, it starts with a group of people pressing hard after God, crying out for His presence to come.
Randy Clark wrote:
From the very beginning, the ministry that God gave me and my team has demonstrated that everyday Christians can operate in the supernatural. Today, the power of the Spirit is flowing everywhere from mission fields and shopping malls to grocery stores and even aboard airplanes.
Join me as I read from my personal journal on November 8, 2019, at Global Awakening School of Supernatural Ministry, recounting the events that led up to the Toronto Blessing. Up to that point, I had never journalled before in my life.
THE MEETING ON OCTOBER 27, 1993 IN MISSOURI, JUST WEEKS BEFORE THE TORONTO BLESSING (January 1994), WAS A VERY STRATEGIC TIME IN MY LIFE. MOVING IN THE POWER OF GOD WAS A DREAM COME TRUE. I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE ABLE TO PRAY FOR PEOPLE AND SEE HIS POWER COME ON THEM. THAT NIGHT WAS AWESOME. IT WAS LIKE WALKING IN ANOTHER DIMENSION. I ONLY HOPED THAT IT WOULD NOT BE A RARE OCCASION, BUT THAT GOD WOULD ALLOW ME TO VISIT THAT DIMENSION FREQUENTLY. I THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE HEAVEN.
Before revival comes, it starts with a group of people pressing hard after God, crying out for His presence to come. I believed God wanted to touch the leadership – the pastors and the wives – of our region. I prayed in general for the Spirit to fall on the meeting. The great theme of my prayer time beforehand was, "Come, Holy Spirit."
The meeting was drenched in prayer ahead of time. At the meeting, I shared on "those who are thirsty may come to Jesus and drink" from John 7:37, 1 Corinthians 12:13, Revelation 21:6 and Acts 2:15. It was obvious that the Holy Spirit was at work among the pastors and their wives as well as many others who attended the meeting.
In total, I shared at the meeting for about 40 minutes telling a story of how God had come again into my ministry in a wonderful way and how He was touching people in my church. I also told a story about how far I had fallen from the work in the Spirit that had characterized my earlier ministry when I had first gotten involved with the Vineyard Church in Missouri and how I had repented of that to the church.
The first person I and a team member prayed for was a woman. She came and stood right in front of me. She was very hurt and nothing happened to her initially. She later finally broke through and was touched by God about two hours later.
The next people I and this team member prayed for at the meeting fell quickly to the floor under the power of the Holy Spirit. Some began to cry. Others, laugh. And others were just quietly ministered to.
Interestingly enough, I wrote of these occurrences in my journal: "I anticipate this may occur in my ministry in the future." But I concluded: only time will tell if those were isolated sovereign incidents or whether they will be the beginning of a ministry of revival for the church.
The next two hours of the meeting were like stepping into another dimension, or like living in a dream. I kept thinking to myself, I need someone to pinch me to know this is really happening. (Be sure to watch the video to this point in which you will hear about some of the more notable incidents that are still deeply impressed upon my memory today.)
In the video, I recall a story from the 1980's in which the whole choir at a Baptist church in southeast Missouri was being "wiped out" by the power of the Holy Spirit while they were singing a worship song. I point out how you could hear the wind—literally, "like a mighty rushing wind"—and the church service went until mid-afternoon. I will report how within a few weeks, every miracle you can think of that you would see in the New Testament—including raising the dead—happened.
My friend Happy watched the meeting happen for some time. He had gotten scared and hidden under a chair. At this point in the story, it's important to know that "Happy was Mr. Control; he had to have everything figured out down to the last second." But Happy finally approached me and said, "I've received things from you in the past. Now I want this. I want to drink."
I began to pray for Happy. Happy began to bow his body backwards under the power of God and, instead of falling, Happy began to shuffle his feet backwards to keep from falling. This was not safe because the floor was covered by people who were "slain" in the Spirit. Before I and my team would begin to pray for someone, we had to find a place to position them so that when they would fall, they would not fall on someone. It was like "falling trees"!
I told Happy not to walk out from under the Spirit's power but to stand and fall. But, not to back up to keep from falling. I prayed again, and Happy fell under the power of God. After about 15 minutes, Happy came up and said,"I want another drink." Happy was prayed for again, and he began to shuffle backwards under the power of God again.
I and a team member pushed Happy up and continued to pray for a few seconds. Happy fell on the floor under the power of God again. This time Happy began to double up with his knees to his chest and his feet sticking up in the air, as he began to belly laugh. It was quite the sight! You couldn't help but laugh in the natural at what God was doing in their midst. It was funny, because Happy who was "Mr. Control" had now given God the control.
Then I felt led by the Holy Spirit to kneel down beside Happy as Happy was laying on the floor, laughing. I said, "God, take control of Happy. He wants to control, and I ask that you take control of Happy." When I prayed this, Happy stopped belly laughing and quickly grabbed his shirt at his belly button area. Happy was gripping his shirt and his hands were clenched. I knew by an unction of Holy Spirit this was a stronghold of the enemy in Happy's life. Then I and my team member prayed for the power of God to totally take Happy and for the stronghold to be broken.
Slowly Happy's grip began to loosen and he began to relax his hands. Then I began to pray, "Lord, birth Your work in Happy. This [grabbing of Happy's shirt at his belly button area and not laughing] is breach. Turn it around, and let it be born." Very soon, there was a breakthrough in Happy. The joy and laughter returned, and he was once again laughing and enjoying the refreshment of the Holy Spirit.
After about 30 minutes, Happy came up to me again and asked for another drink. I prayed for Happy again and within seconds, Happy fell under the power of God again; enjoying the Lord's presence. At this point in the story, it's important to realize that simultaneously others were receiving prayer and being touched by the Holy Spirit as well.
Happy later helped start two of the Vineyard churches in the Midwest. So there's a history between Happy and me. In fact, the most powerful touch from God that I ever had was when Happy blew on me at his church in 1999 when I thought I was going to die. (You'll want to watch the rest of the video to hear more stories like Happy's.)
This meeting was just a foretaste of a new move of supernatural Christianity characterized by signs, wonders and healing miracles that God ignited around the globe and that He caused to transpire in my and my team's four decades of ministry that followed.
Watch the entirety of the above video on YouTube for my full recount of events that led up to the Toronto Blessing
—Dr Randy Clark
P.S. I believe the events that led up to the Toronto Blessing are a prophetic sign to the culture that God can use everybody. Over the years, I and my team have developed two conferences that provide a solid foundation in living a supernatural lifestyle. It's my heart that people everywhere will be empowered to see a fresh revival come to their spheres of influence.
Randy is the founder and President of Global Awakening and author of books on healing, impartation, and revival history. He spends his time writing, traveling, speaking at events, and hanging out with his children and grandkids. His life's message is: "God will use anyone who's willing to take a risk in faith."

Reinhard Bonnke – 1940-2019

A Tribute to Reinhard Bonnke, 1940-2019
Legacy of Harvest
Africa: Reinhard Bonnke's final crusade in Africa – November 2017
Reinhard Bonnke Preaches for the Last Time in Africa
See link for report – Lagos, Nigeria, November 2017
We have just returned from a very special and very emotional service. Tonight, Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke preached the Gospel for the last time on African soil after 50 years of powerful ministry. His wife, Anni and his children were with him on the platform. Our national directors and many ministry friends from all over the world were there to be a part of the historic moment. More than 1.7 million people attended the five days of meetings. Countless miracles took place and many thousands of salvations were recorded. I cannot imagine a more fitting way to celebrate 50 years of Evangelist Bonnke's ministry than with one more massive harvest of souls in Africa. It was truly a remarkable and historic event. It will stand out in my memory as one of the most precious days in my life.
We faced an unusual level of resistance this week – such as I have not experienced in my time with the ministry. But the Lord spoke to us clearly that what we were experiencing was birthing pangs. Although this crusade was Evangelist Bonnke's Farewell in Africa, it is really just the beginning of something new and wonderful. God has given me the vision for a "Decade of Double Harvest." I believe that over the next decade, we will see another 75-million people won to Christ and tonight was the beginning. No wonder we are feeling the pangs of birth. I will share more specifics on this in the days to come, but for now it is enough to say we are on the threshold of "even greater" things. As Evangelist Bonnke has often said, "Nothing diminishes in God."
This also marks the last crusade of the year. As we approach the end of one year and the beginning of another, I am so thankful for those of you that have stood with us so faithfully through your prayers and giving. Please continue to stand with us as we enter this new season of harvest. All hands are needed on deck. The best is yet to come. We love and appreciate each one of you.
Yours in the Gospel,
Evangelist Daniel Kolenda
Together with Reinhard Bonnke, Peter Vandenberg, and the whole CfaN Team
The number is staggering: 75,913,155. That's how many people have come to Christ through the ministry of Reinhard Bonnke, as reported by his organization Christ for all Nations (CfaN).
The German-born evangelist said on CfaN's website. "I want not only to see a gigantic harvest of souls but to pass my burning torch to a new generation of evangelists."
Bonnke, his wife Anni, and their young son moved to the tiny African nation of Lesotho in 1969. The couple spent seven years working there as missionaries. It wasn't easy. Bonnke says it was during those difficult years that he started praying to see more souls saved across the African continent. He says God gave him a vision for "a continent washed in the blood of Jesus Christ."
The early days in Lesotho (1974)
In 1974, Christ for All Nations was birthed, and since then more than 75 million people have accepted Christ through the ministry. All these years later, Bonnke says the vision still burns in his soul. "Whether I am eating or drinking, awake or asleep, the vision is ever-present. It never leaves me."
Now, at 77, Bonnke is passing the torch to a new generation of evangelists as he prepares to retire after more than 40 years in ministry. Lead evangelist of CfaN, Daniel Kolenda, has been tapped to succeed Bonnke.
The preparations for the final crusade involved "500,000 counselors, 200,000 intercessors, a choir of over 23,000 and a security force of over 10,000," said John Darku, CfaN's African director. "There is great excitement from all the churches in the country, and we are expecting a spectacular harvest of people coming to Christ."

Iran: where Christianity is growing fastest
by Geoff 30 November 2019 No Comments
Iran: The country where Christianity is growing fastest
This may come as a surprise to many, but Christianity is growing faster in the Islamic Republic of Iran than in any other country in the world. Tens of thousands of Muslims are abandoning their faith and are beginning to follow Jesus.
Experts say the ongoing political crisis and economic challenges are fueling widespread anger against the regime. Iran's president Hassan Rouhani is promising to resolve the country's economic, social and political problems after days of protests gripped the Islamic nation last month. At least 21 people died in clashes with police, and over 1,000 were arrested.
Mike Ansari says political turmoil is creating unique opportunities to share the love of Christ. "Many Iranian Christians have turned to us asking what it is they need to do," Ansari wrote in an email. Ansari is the president of Heart4Iran Ministries, which is bringing 86 different ministries together with the goal of serving and blessing the people of Iran. He says with all the negative news about Iran, it is easy to miss the big and often untold story of what is really happening inside the Islamic nation. "God is at work in Iran. Jesus is building His church, the Spirit is transforming lives and the gospel is on the move."
Today 4 satellite TV channels are broadcasting continuous Christian broadcasting into Iran.
Mohabat TV is the media arm of Heart4Iran Ministries. In 2006, Mohabat TV became the first 24-hour Farsi Christian satellite TV channel to beam gospel programs into Iran. Today, it is one of 4 satellite TV channels broadcasting continuous Christian programming. "Christian satellite TV broadcasts into Iran have played a vital role in the success of the underground house church movement," Ansari wrote. "The significance of media strategy is that it by-passes security measures set by the government and reaches the people of Iran through their TV set or on their smart devices. According to World Mission, the house church movement in Iran is one of the fastest-growing churches in the world. It is the lifeline of Christianity inside this country."
Recently 20 Iranians, many of whom accepted Christ watching Mohabat TV, traveled to an undisclosed location to get baptized. CBN News was granted exclusive access to the celebrations.
Ansari, an Iranian by birth, sat down with CBN News correspondent George Thomas for an exclusive look at the church inside Iran.
Why is the house church movement in Iran growing so fast?
"The church is growing because the people of Iran are disillusioned with Islam and they are looking for answers to life. They are not finding answers in the traditional forms of state religion or the faith of their ancestors. They are looking for new answers, they are not happy and satisfied where they are spiritually. It seems that a large number of these people are actually having dreams and visions about a shining man dressed in white far before we are out there telling them about Jesus."
Is there a specific area of Iranian society that Jesus is touching more than others?
"The demographic that is responding to the gospel the most is the younger generation, who are very tech-savvy. These are people, anywhere from 18 to 30 years of age. They are online, they are following the world's pop culture, they are very much plugged in and they are looking for answers. They want to belong to a larger purpose and meaning in life, and they are finding that in Jesus."
The 1979 Islamic Revolution was supposed to usher in this great Islamic revival. Did that ever materialize?
"After almost 40 years of the Islamic regime, the average Iranian is realizing that Islam is bankrupt and Islam is not able to answer to their social, daily lives and the dilemmas they are dealing with. Iran is facing a host of crises, from drug addiction to depression to suicide to sexually transmitted diseases to human trafficking."
Almost 40 years into the Islamic Revolution the average Iranian is realizing that Islam is bankrupt.
How bad is persecution against those who decide to abandon Islam and embrace Christianity?
"Iran is listed in Open Doors' top 10 of most persecuted countries. The reality of Iranian Christians is that they cannot go out on the street and share their new faith with people. They cannot celebrate anywhere publicly, and they are constantly in fear of retaliation from the authorities. Becoming a Christian in Iran, especially if you are from an Islamic background, is illegal and is punishable by the legal code in the country. This is why we want people around the world to continue lifting up the persecuted church in Iran."
You recently commissioned an extensive survey inside the country to find out how many people are watching programs on Mohabat TV. What did the survey results show?
"We had no idea that so many Iranian youth are following our programs. It appears that roughly about 16 million Iranians within the last 12 months have viewed one or more of our programs on satellite TV and also on their mobile devices. That roughly translates to about 20 percent of Iran's population and that is an overwhelming number."
Mohabat TV produced a map showing all the locations Iranians are calling the show from.
How many people call in to your channel and how many have accepted Christ since you launched the network?
"It is a rough estimate that within the last 11 years we've been able to connect with over one million Iranians through our call center. These are people who have contacted us wanting to know more about Christianity. These are people who have either become Christians or have had dreams or visions, and wanted to find out more about Jesus. Or people who have become Christians and they want to find out how to grow in their new faith and how to be discipled or how to start a house church in the country. In 2016, our call center processed about 700 contacts per day, which resulted in about 93 decisions for Christ per day. That's roughly about three people every hour that confessed their faith in Jesus."
Is satellite TV still the most important evangelism tool to reach Iranians with the gospel or is social media becoming even more important?
"In 2013 and 2014 when the Iranian Green Revolution took place, we realized the importance of Twitter. That was a glimpse into what was coming. In 2017, we realized that social media has fully arrived in the Middle East, especially in a country like Iran where especially the youth are actively using social media on their mobile devices. In addition, the numbers we've been getting through our survey is additional validation that this is a sound strategy for ministries to start focusing on."

Iran: Fastest-growing church has no buildings
For the last few years, researchers have credited the underground church in Iran as the fastest-growing Christian church in the world.
It has unique characteristics that defy comparison with churches in America and Europe, and in the opinion of some who know it well, the church in the West could learn by studying it.
The fastest-growing church in the world has taken root in one of the most unexpected and radicalized nations on earth, according to 'Sheep Among Wolves', an outstanding two-hour documentary about the revival that has taken place inside Iran. The Iranian awakening is a rapidly reproducing discipleship movement that owns no property or buildings, has no central leadership, and is predominantly led by women.
'The movement is predominantly led by women'
The documentary was produced by Frontier Alliance International (FAI), which supports disciple-making teams targeting the 'unreached' and 'unengaged' within the 10/40 Window. There is a mass exodus leaving Islam for Christianity within Iran, according to FAI.
"What if I told you Islam is dead?" one unidentified Iranian church leader says in the film. "Many of the ruling class still follow Islam because that's where the high paying jobs are, but the majority of the ordinary people love God and recognize that Islam is the problem. What if I told you the best evangelist for Jesus was the Ayatollah Khomeini? The ayatollahs brought the true face of Islam to light and people discovered it was a lie, a deception."
Efforts by the ayatollahs to destroy Christianity have backfired, but have served to refine and purify the church. "What persecution did was destroy the churches that were only about converts," the Iranian church leader noted. "Converts run away from persecution, but disciples are willing to die for the Lord in persecution."
'What if I told you Islam is dead?'
Often a disciple-making movement begins the first moment someone comes into contact with an unbeliever. "Everything is founded on prayer. We find people of peace through prayer. We even find locations through prayer," the Iranian church leader noted. "Jesus has gone faster than us. He has come in their dreams or he's come miraculously in their lives. When we hear this, we know that Jesus has gone ahead of us."
Their emphasis is not planting churches; it is making disciples. "If you plant churches, you might make disciples. But if you make disciples, you will plant churches," the Iranian church leader said. "It is obedience-based discipleship based on the authority of Scripture. Every time you read the Scripture, you must obey it. This is how people become conformed to the image of Christ and sanctified. They are not just reading the Bible for information. They are reading the Bible to get transformed."
About 55% of the disciple-makers are women, according to the film.

Christianity for Australia – evangelism in 1902 & 1959
by Geoff 14 October 2019 No Comments
Christianity for Australia
by Shane Degen
In 1901, when Australia took the Federation census, 96.1% of Australians said that they were Christian. Fast forward to 1916, and in this most recent census, 52.2% of the nation declared they were Christian. During the last census period, we lost 10% and if that decline rate only steadied (didn't increase as it has been doing) then within 7 years (2 census periods) we would be at 32%. These figures don't represent the percentage of our population that has a living vibrant relationship with Jesus, but they certainly represent how open we are, as a nation, to the gospel. About 7-9% of the population attend a church regularly which would be a closer representation of those who have a relationship with God.
But there is hope…
Despite it looking like a dark day for Christianity in Australia, there have been times when God has moved in a way that changed major cities. Today, there are towns across this nation that are seeing the same glimmer of hope – a greatly reduced attrition rate in Christianity in opposition to the national average and other towns around them. If we can learn the lessons from these historical moves of God and the regional towns where God is still moving, and if we can harness it in other parts of our nation, then we believe there is great potential to not only slow down the attrition rate of Christianity but to turn it around.
Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.
See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples,
but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you. (Isaiah 60:1-2)
The two major historical moves in our history occurred in 1902 & 1959.
First, we look at the 1902 Great Melbourne Revival and the impact it had on Melbourne and Australia. In the next section, we look at the national revival and city transformation that happened through Billy Graham's ministry in 1959. Then if we couple these lessons with modern data we can form the foundation for a strategy to see our nation come back to Jesus. A strategy that is God-inspired, biblical, proven and contemporary with what God is doing across the globe in our day.
1902 – The Great Melbourne Revival
In 1902, the Great Melbourne Revival [1] changed the landscape of Christianity in this corner of the world. In the 1890s' many of the Melbourne churches united and invited Dwight L Moody to come and hold an evangelistic campaign. DL Moody had been a significant evangelist and leader in the 1857-1859 Second Great Awakening.
Over 200 churches (about 80%) of the churches gathered and prayed for the upcoming campaign. The prayer meetings started years in advance and by the time the campaign began the local churches had held over 16000 prayer meetings. Also, the churches had door knocked the entire city of Melbourne at least twice, with a personal invitation to the meetings. DL Moody couldn't come as he passed away in 1899, but his spiritual protégé, RA Torrey came. On the weekend of the first meeting over 8000 gathered in the Great Exhibition Hall. The campaign ran over a few months on each Sunday. The population of Melbourne at the time was 500k. By the last Sunday, they had 250k people turn out to hear the word of God preached. That is 50% of the city. By the end, 50 evangelists led simultaneous meetings in 42 halls and sports fields all across Melbourne.
The fruit of the revival
The revival started in Melbourne and then travelled up the coast and ended up seeing major percentages of the Pacific Islands converted, even to this day most of the islands are Christian and some have attributed it to the 1902 revival.
Directly after the campaign, crime dropped to zero per cent and even 12 months later the police were still bored as there was no crime in the city. Pubs closed, and picture theatres were emptied. That campaign changed the social and cultural landscape of Melbourne.
Keys to revival
When looking back at the event, three things have been attributed to the transformation to three things
Missional unity in churches. The churches not only organised the event together, but they worked together to door knock the entire city at least twice
An immense amount of prayer. In lead up to the event, 16000 prayer meetings were held.
The Gospel. At the centre of the activity was a gospel event. It wasn't about the event, it was about Jesus, but God used the event to mobilise the Body with prayer and outreach.
1959 – A time of national revival
In 1959, Billy Graham came to Australia and New Zealand to spend 4 months touring and preaching the gospel. He did 114 meetings in 106 days [2]. This tour became known as the greatest moment of revival history in our nation. To this day, I often meet men and women who were saved in that campaign and are still serving the Lord.
Billy Graham was invited out by Anglican Archbishop Howard Mowell, who rallied churches and believers for 6 years in the lead up to the gospel campaign. During the campaign over 146k across Australia made a commitment for Jesus.
Preparing the way
In lead up to this rally, over 40 000 individuals signed up to pray for the event. In Sydney, 600 of the 650 churches worked together to door knock around 400 000 homes with a spiritual survey. Over 8000 counselors (45k nationally) were trained to disciple the new believers. In Sydney, 150k people turned out on the last night and over 56k decisions for Jesus were made. Some churches reported 75% and 94% retention of the new believers.
These numbers are great for Sydney, however across Australia and New Zealand over 3 million (out of a total population of 10 million) turned out to hear the gospel, face to face, and even many more heard it across radio and TV. Almost 2% of the nation publicly admitted to deciding to follow Jesus.
God moved and on top of the multitude of decisions, judges, mayors and politicians are reported to have said that Sydney was a different place. On top of these reports, there was actual city-transformation that had measurable results.
I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me (John 17:20-23)
Directly after the campaign, the crime increase rate dropped to half. This remained that way for 3 years. Alcohol sales dropped by 10% the following year. Pubs closed down, ex-nuptial births decreased and businesses reported an unusual amount of bad debts being paid off. That gospel campaign changed the social and cultural landscape of our nation, but in particular, Sydney.
The 1959 "Southern Cross Crusade" truly was a momentous occasion for Jesus, in our nation. There has not been a move like it in the last 70 years, but there were keys we could learn from the 1959 revival.
When looking back at the event, three things have been attributed to the transformation
Missional unity in churches. The churches not only organized the event together, but they worked together to door knock around 400k homes with a spiritual survey
An immense amount of prayer. In lead up to the event, 40000 individuals committed to pray.

From Hatred to Love: How God transformed a brutal Australian gang leader
by Geoff 13 September 2019 No Comments
He eyed the crowd until he saw his cohorts. They were all close enough to see George when he gave the signal. They would all fire at once, and Billy Graham would die, silencing one of the greatest voices the world had ever known for this so-called God that George hated.
By Jerri Menges • January 31, 2019 •
Decision Magazine
George Palmer's heart was running away inside his chest. Every word out of Billy Graham's mouth was like a drop of fuel on the fire that was raging in his soul. He had positioned himself on the grass in front of the stage at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne, Australia, with thousands of others who had come to hear the evangelist.
George was not interested in what Mr. Graham had to say. He, along with the other nine members of his gang, had come to the stadium, March 15, 1959, on a radically different mission. In his hand, under his clothing, was a zip gun he had made, using the lathe at his apprentice job at Victorian Railways. He had made 10 guns. Each member of his gang had one—and they were ready to fire.
It was a dream come true for George, a chance to make a statement to God in front of the whole world.
If God was love, like Graham proclaimed, He would not have taken George's dad 10 years earlier, when George was 7 ½, his brother was 4 and their infant brother was just 5 weeks old.
Sept. 29, 1949 was forever etched in George's memory. That was the day his mom came home from the hospital and told him that his dad had died of a heart attack. He would never see his father again.
George ran to the upper paddock on the farm, where his dad had just planted 100 cherry trees, and screamed at God: "You've got no right to take my dad! I need him, and now he won't be here for Christmas. And because of that, I hate you. With all my heart, I hate you."
The anger he felt at that moment swallowed his heart and enslaved his mind. It drove everything he did, every waking moment. When a schoolmate walked up to him not long after his dad's death and called him a dwarf, George, merely 8, and indeed small for his age, turned around and knocked the boy's front teeth out. He was sent immediately to the headmaster's office. That became his daily ritual, whether he was in public school or private. His mom tried both, and things only got worse with each move.
"I just wanted to hurt people, and things," George said. "We had a Bendix washing machine, and our cat had given birth to a litter of kittens. I put the baby kittens in the washing machine, filled it with water and watched them going 'round and 'round until they drowned."
After technical college, George became an apprentice at Victorian Railways, starting out as an electrical fitter. He struck up a friendship with two of his co-workers and soon learned they were members of a gang. Before long, he was their leader.
They were 10 teenagers, and they were merciless, doing all kinds of horrible things that George, now 76, tries to push from his memory. Things like capturing the leader of a rival gang, holding his right hand to the ground and driving a car backward and forward over it five times.

In early 1959, when George heard that Billy Graham was coming to Melbourne Cricket Ground, he saw it as an opportunity for vengeance.
"I didn't know much about Billy Graham, but we heard that he was an evangelist, and that was all I needed to hear," he said. "We went to the Crusade with the aim of killing him because he stood for everything I hated."
It didn't occur to George or the other boys that they could be hanged for murder, or that in a crowd of more than 100,000 someone else might get caught in the gunfire. All George thought about was the hate and anger he felt. Why would all these people come here, anyway? he thought. Why would they believe these lies about a loving God? Utter contempt consumed him, until he heard a quiet voice.
"What are you doing here, George?"
He looked around. No one at the cricket ground knew his name except his gang buddies, and they were sitting farther away. The question came a second time, and a third.
"George," the voice seemed to say. "I didn't take your dad to hurt you or your mom. I took your dad because he was a very sick man. I would never, ever do anything to hurt you because I love you too much."
Deep inside, something broke wide open. Tears gushed from his eyes and poured down his face until he could barely see. All night long, scenes from his life had played in his mind. When Billy Graham gave the invitation, instead of signaling his guys to shoot, George ran forward to ask for forgiveness of his sins. His gang buddies were not far behind him.
"Nine of the 10 of us were converted that night," he says. "It was amazing."
The next day, George felt God leading him to go apologize to the leader of the rival gang, whose hand he had run over with the car. For the first time in his life, he was afraid.
"That guy will kill me if I go there," he told the Lord. But after a long talk, the two men parted as friends.
The second day, he felt God calling him to become a Salvation Army officer.
"You've got to be joking," said George, who was only 4 foot 11 inches. "I wouldn't even be able to see above the pulpit." George grew 10 ½ inches that year.
On a Sunday morning, George rode his bike to the Salvation Army church, and an old man he knew from years earlier met him at the door. The man put his arms around George and said, "I've been praying for you." They wept together.
Soon, a young woman named Judith who attended the church started talking to George. Two weeks later, he asked her out on a date and learned that she had felt the call to become a Salvation Army officer since age 14. They were married in 1964, went to college in 1965 and were commissioned as Salvation Army officers in 1967—serving in Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia and West Australia before their recent retirement. Together, they raised three sons, and they now have eight grandchildren, all of whom are serving the Lord.
"We were able to see so many people come to the Lord in our ministry," George said. "Without Billy Graham, I don't think I'd be alive today. I can see God working in my life right from when my father died. God worked through all of that hatred and won me over. I give Him all the glory."

Selections from Final Decade, Twentieth Century Revivals
https://renewaljournal.com/2014/04/28/4345/
From 1982 revival stirred in Argentina. Large crowds attended meetings with Carlos Annacondia, a businessman turned evangelist. His healing evangelism included thousands reporting healings, deliverance from demons, and miracles. Thousands of people accepted Christ as Saviour and virtually every church grew. Pastors meet every week to pray with Annacondia for revival in the nation and the world.
In 1992, another movement of revival began with Claudio Freidzon, founder of a Buenos Aires church that in four years grew from 7 to 3000 people. Freidzon experienced a deep encounter with the Holy Spirit, after which his ministry became famous for the manifested presence of God, long services of worship and adoration, and a dramatic increase of healings and deliverance in the worship and ministry.
John and Carol Arnott from Toronto were powerfully touched in meetings led by Claudio Freidzon in Argentina in 1993. Randy Clark spoke at the Toronto church on Thursday, January 20, 1994, and the Father's blessing fell on the 120 people attending. Randy gave his testimony, including how he had been powerfully touched by God when Rodney Howard-Browne (evangelist from South Africa) prayed for him. People fell all over the floor under the power of the Holy Spirit, laughing and crying. People were saved and healed, more in the next two years than ever before in the Arnott's ministry. Thousands flew or drove to visit the little church which had to relocate into larger premises. The blessing continued, called by a British journalist, the "Toronto Blessing".
On Father's Day, Sunday 18 June 1995, evangelist Steve Hill spoke at Brownsville Assembly of God, near Pensacola, Florida. A thousand people streamed forward at the altar call as the Holy Spirit moved on them. Their pastor, John Kilpatrick, fell down under the power of God and was overwhelmingly impacted for four days. That morning service, normally finishing at noon, lasted till 4 pm. The evening service continued for another five and a half hours. So the church asked Steve Hill to stay. He cancelled appointments and continued with nightly meetings. Their wives, Jeri Hill and Brenda Kilpatrick tell that story in this 2019 Conference.
Dr Michael Brown founded the Brownsville School of Ministry in that revival and Evangelist Daniel Kolenda, now the Director of Christ for All Nations, was a student there then. Christ for All Nations hosted this 2019 Light the Fire Again conference.

Q: Tabris.js XMLHttpRequests not accepting responses: readystate 1 I have a tabris.js app that I needed to connect to a SQL database. In order to do so, I decided the best option would be to create an express REST API and then make XMLHttpRequests to it. When the app makes a request, the API shows that a GET request has been made and even responds with a result. I have tested it in a browser and found that the result is being returned flawlessly. The problem is that the readystate of the XHR never leaves 1 and therefore onload/onreadystatechange is never called. At one point I had this app working so I don't know what happened. I will include some mock API code and the Tabris.js code below.
API:
router.get('/', function(req, res) {
    res.json({Mock: 'Code'})
})

Tabris:
const xhr = new XMLHttpRequest()

xhr.onload = function() { /* Not called */ }
xhr.onerror = function() { /* Not called */ }
xhr.onabort = function() { /* Not called */ }
xhr.ontimeout = function() { /* Not called */ }

xhr.onreadystatechange = function() {
    switch (xhr.readyState) {
        case 1: console.log('opened, not sent'); break // Called
        case 2: console.log('sent, awaiting response'); break // Not called, even though the API gets the request
        case 3: console.log('response received, downloading'); break // Not called
        case 4: console.log('finished'); break // Not called
    }
}

xhr.open('GET', 'http://ip.ad.dr.ess:port/', true)
xhr.send()

I should also add that the fetch API is not working for me either, though similarly the request is received by the API.

A: So as it turns out, my code left completely the same, it started working this morning when I came in. For anyone experiencing the same issue, unfortunately I don't have a solid answer for you except that the last thing I did before it started working was updated tabris. Although this did nothing but replace the files I already had since I was up-to-date to begin with. I also tried testing it on another website which seemed to get it past the block it was having before. For me, I used http://ip.jsontest.com

Tax Relief Scams
Download this PDF Print this Page View Publications
If you have unpaid tax obligations and are looking for help to resolve them, you should be careful to avoid hiring tax relief companies that charge you money to help you but end up making a bad situation worse.
Beware of Bogus Promises to Settle Your Tax Obligations
Some companies seek to exploit the fact that some Minnesotans are behind on their taxes. Some companies have television advertising campaigns that lure customers with claims that the companies have special expertise or knowledge that enables them to settle customers' tax obligations for pennies on the dollar. The companies may require the consumer to pay up-front fees often ranging from $1,000 to $3,000 or more, and monthly fees of several hundred dollars. Once the consumer pays the money, however, some companies fail to deliver the promised services. Some do nothing at all. Other companies will send a consumer forms to apply to the IRS for an "Offer in Compromise," which the company knows will be rejected because of the IRS's strict guidelines for debt forgiveness under that program (see below). The end result: the consumer is now $1,000 or more in the hole.
Attempt to Work with the Tax Authorities
As a part of their sales pitches, tax relief companies may tell you that the tax authorities won't work with you. If you owe money to the tax authorities, don't ignore the problem. Call the IRS or the state and local tax authorities to address any tax issues. These entities may be willing to establish a payment plan. In fact, the IRS enters into payment plans with over two million taxpayers each year. Also, consider hiring a reputable local certified public accountant or tax attorney to help you if you are in over your head.
Offers in Compromise. Some tax relief companies lure customers in by claiming that they can cut customers' debts by filing an Offer in Compromise (OIC) with the IRS. The IRS, however, has strict guidelines to qualify for the OIC program. The majority of debtors do not qualify. The IRS has published a consumer alert cautioning consumers not to be lured by promises that companies can settle tax obligations on the cheap through OIC's. Chances are that if you have $2,000 - $5,000 dollars to pay a tax relief company, you likely will not qualify for the IRS's OIC program. Companies will take your money, but after filing an OIC petition that they know, or should know, will be unsuccessful, they may do nothing else for you and won't refund your money. Contact the IRS directly to see if you will qualify for the OIC program, or download the forms, which are easy to fill out on your own, directly from the IRS website, www.irs.gov.
Other Tips for Consumers:
1. Research the companies you are considering.
Before you use any tax relief organization, check with the Better Business Bureau at:
Better Business Bureau of Minnesota and North Dakota
220 South River Ridge Circle
www.bbb.org/minnesota
2. Contact the tax authorities at the first sign of trouble.
Do not ignore problems—they won't go away. Contact the IRS directly at the first sign of trouble. It may enter into an installment payment plan with you to become current on your obligations. Also, before you hire a tax relief company to try to settle your bills, check with the IRS directly to see if you even qualify for its Offer in Compromise (OIC) program. Successful offers usually are given only to those in dire straits. Of the approximately 63,000 OICs submitted in 2016, the IRS only accepted about 27,000.
3. Sound too good to be true?
Some tax relief companies may guarantee to lower your tax obligations. Others might tell you that they have "insider tips" or special expertise to get a favorable result with the tax authorities. Remember: if a promise sounds too good to be true — it is. Don't do business with a firm that does not give you the biography of the attorney, certified public accountant, or tax agent who will actually work on your case.
4. Beware of money-back guarantees.
In order to allay consumers' concerns, some tax relief companies promise money-back guarantees. These guarantees, however, often turn out to be unavailable to unsatisfied consumers. Don't let a money-back guarantee give you a false sense of security.
5. Know the fees.
Tax relief companies are prohibited under the law from charging up-front fees. Ask whether there are any up-front fees and avoid companies that charge you before performing any services.
6. Watch the fine print.
Tax relief companies may have you sign written contracts with terms that differ from what they tell you on the phone or in person. For example, the tax relief company may tell you that your onetime fee will cover all services required to reduce your tax obligations, while the contract will say that the initial payment is for limited services, and that additional services will require additional payments. Read the fine print of any contract. If the contract says something different than what you are told in person or over the phone, do not sign it. Make sure all verbal promises are in writing.
7. A plan tailored to your needs.
A legitimate advisor should take time to understand your income and expenses, as well as the nature of your issues with the taxing authorities. Beware of any organization that gives you generic or "one size fits all" advice, or that promises it can help you before it's fully reviewed your situation.
8. No quick fixes.
Remember: there is no magic solution toward getting out from under tax obligations. Beware of tax relief companies that promise that they can drastically reduce your debt.
9. Beware of companies that are acting illegally.
In 2016, the Minnesota Legislature amended its Debt Settlement Services Statute—Minnesota Statutes Chapter 332B—to include tax relief companies that target consumers who are behind on their taxes. In addition to a prohibition on up-front fees, the law requires that companies register with the Department of Commerce. You can find out if a company is registered by contacting the Department of Commerce as follows:
Minnesota Department of Commerce
85 7th Place East, Suite 280
(800) 657-3602 (Greater MN only)

Tax Related Identity Theft and Other Tax Scams
The U.S. Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration estimates that 1.6 million Americans were victims of tax related identity theft and refund scams in the first six months of 2013, an increase from 1.2 million in all of 2012. Don't let this happen to you! Be on alert for these common scams.
Debt Assistance Scams
There are no easy ways or quick fixes for getting out of debt. Attorney General Keith Ellison offers these tips so that consumers trying to do the right thing by getting help do not get bad and costly advice.
Credit Handbook
This handbook is a guide to using credit cards. It will explain why most of us choose to use credit, provide tips to help you choose the right credit for you, detail the fees and terms to know, explain common pitfalls, and clarify your credit rights.

Q: Is there a lower_bound() function in C++ for long long data type? pos is an iterator to the lower bound of q. Here q is a long long integer and prefix is a vector which stores long long elements.
vector <int> :: iterator pos;
pos = lower_bound(prefix.begin(), prefix.end(), q);

I get the following error:
no operator "=" matches these operands -- operand types are: __gnu_cxx::__normal_iterator<int *, std::vector<int, std::allocator<int>>> = __gnu_cxx::__normal_iterator<long long *, std::vector<long long, std::allocator<long long>>>

Is there any way to fix this?

A: Your declaration of pos is incorrect. You vector - prefix is of declared as vector<long long>prefix;. The iterator should also be of the same type.
You can try using the following -
vector<long long>::iterator pos = lower_bound(prefix.begin(), prefix.end(), q);

You can always choose the following syntax as well if you are not sure of how to declare the variable(iterator in this case) properly :
auto pos = lower_bound(prefix.begin(), prefix.end(), q);

The auto keyword can only be used in C++11 and above. But, if you are sure of the syntax and type of the variable you are declaring, it's always preferable to declare it manually rather than having it inferred by your program. It will increase the reliability as well as readability of your program.
Hope this solves your issue !


The term epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) refers to a heterogeneous group of tumors, including serous, mucinous, endometrioid and clear cell carcinomas, each characterized by specific molecular background and clinical outcome. A growing body of evidence suggests that molecular pathogenesis of ovarian cancer involves two general pathways. The first pathway results in transformation of normal ovarian tissue to borderline tumors, which may further progress to low-grade serous, mucinous, endometrioid and clear cell carcinomas. Tumors from this group are characterized by slow proliferation, and approximately 55% 5-year survival rate. Type I tumors often harbor somatic mutations in protein kinase genes, as well as in genes for other signaling molecules. Both BRAF and KRAS mutations lead to a constitutive activation of their downstream target, mitogen-activated protein kinase. Identification of molecular profile may be crucial for the diagnosis of ovarian tumors, choice of adjuvant targeted therapy after primary cytoreductive treatment, or management of recurrence in patients with advanced type I epithelial ovarian neoplasms. Point mutations in cancer cells can be detected with many various methods. KRAS, NRAS and BRAF mutational status can be determined by Sanger sequencing (still considered a gold standard), as well as using numerous various techniques, such as allele-specific PCR, single nucleotide primer extension assays, pyrosequencing, real-time PCR, high-resolution melting curve analysis, amplification refractory mutation system, strip or chip assay combining PCR followed by hybridization to a KRAS or NRAS-specific probe, next-generation sequencing (NGS), and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI MS). Application of direct sequencing as a routine method for cytological diagnosis used in a hospital setting requires expensive equipment and implementation of complicated procedures. Another factor limiting application of this method in everyday clinical practice are long analytical times. This stimulated search for a simple, rapid, specific and sensitive methodology to detect point mutations. Recently, some new molecular assays for the detection of BRAF, KRAS and NRAS mutations have become available. These are fully-automated molecular diagnostic systems for quantitative allele-specific RT-PCR-based analyses. Using this instrument, even pathologists from less experienced laboratories can easily integrate morphological findings with molecular data being crucial for further diagnostic and therapeutic decisions.

Char kway teow, littéralement « bandes de gâteau de riz frit », est un plat de nouilles populaire en Malaisie, Singapour, Brunei, ainsi qu'en Indonésie.

C'est un plat à base de nouilles de riz plates (河粉, hé fěn en mandarin) d'approximativement  ou, dans le nord de la Singapour, de  de largeur, que l'on frit avec de la sauce de soja, du piment, une petite quantité de belacan, des crevettes, des Tegillarca granosa décortiquées, des pousses de soja et de la ciboule de Chine. Le plat est aussi généralement mélangé avec de l'œuf, des tranches de saucisse chinoise et du fishcake. Le char kway teow est traditionnellement frit dans de la graisse de porc avec des lardons, et servi sur une feuille de bananier.

Variantes

Dans le passé, il était traditionnellement frit dans de la graisse de porc et sans œuf (sauf sur demande). Plus récemment, l'huile de cuisson est privilégiée pour des raisons sanitaires ou religieuses, et l'œuf est devenu un ingrédient basique de ce plat. Les versions de char koay teow préparées par les musulmans en Singapour excluent la graisse de porc et y introduisent de la sauce soja et des épices. Il existe aussi des versions végétariennes qui peuvent inclure ou pas des œufs.

D'autres versions de char kway teow, à Ipoh et Penang notamment, contiennent plus de fruits de mer, de la chair de crabe et des œufs de cane.

Le char kway teow est un plat à emporter populaire en  Australie et en Nouvelle-Zélande.

En Birmanie, on trouve une variante appelée beik kut kyae kaik. C'est un plat populaire sur la côte sud, dans les villes de Mergui (baik est la prononciation birmane) et de Rangoun. Il contient plus de poivre et de fruits de mer que le kway teow malais. Les nouilles de riz sont plus fines et sont frites avec des pois jaunes bouillis, des pousses de soja, des encornets et des crevettes, des oignons et de la sauce soja épaisse. Une fois frites, les nouilles sont coupées au ciseau (kut kyae en birman), d'où son nom. Dans de nombreux restaurants de cuisine fusion asiatique aux États-Unis, comme la chaine Cafe Asia, ce plat est nommé gway tiao.

De nombreux restaurants asiatiques à Hong Kong présentent le char kway teow en tant que spécialité singapourien. Sa recette est quelque peu différente : nouilles de riz plates, crevettes, char siu, oignons et pousses de soja, le tout assaisonné de curry. Dans certains endroits, il est appelé fried good dale (traduction des caractères 炒貴刁).

En Indonésie, il existe un plat similaire, appelé kwetiau goreng (), servi dans les restaurants chinois, les warung (restaurants de rue), et par les marchands ambulants. La version indonésienne est plus sucrée, par l'emploi de kecap manis (sauce soja sucrée), et à la fois plus épicé par l'emploi de sambal. On y trouve moins d'huile, et il est majoritairement halal. Pas de porc ni de lard ; on y trouvera toutefois du bœuf ou de la volaille pour satisfaire la majorité musulmane du pays. Certains restaurants chinois utilisent toutefois de la graisse de porc pour ce plat pour une clientèle non-musulmane.

Dans la cuisine vietnamienne, on trouve un plat semblable appelé hủ tiếu xào. La cuisine thaïlandaise a également sa version, appelée phat si-io.

MP3Gain analyzes and adjusts mp3 files so that they have the same volume. It does not just do peak normalization, as many normalizers do. Instead, it does some statistical analysis to determine how loud the file actually sounds to the human ear. Also, the changes it makes are completely lossless. There is no quality lost in the change because the program adjusts the mp3 file directly, without decoding and re-encoding.
If you use a real speaker system you can hear the sound quality got worse with this program. Not good.
Does what it's supposed to do. It losslessly normalizes the volume of all your mp3s. No more having to adjust the volume for each song.
It does lower the volume of most songs significantly though (for a reason) so you'll have to set your volume higher than usual.
I use foobar2000 to sutomatically reduce the volume of non-MP3gained songs by 7.5db so all songs whether MP3gained or not sound roughly the same.
I love this prog. Perfect results.
A classic for lossless normalization. No audiophile without this!
I just ran into this and really needed this since yesterday . I noticed a track was really loud and another was far too low .
Oooh, an update! Anyone who uses headphones, wants to listen to music at night when everyone else is sleeping or simply hate having one album quiet and the next one blasting like a 747 taking off are going to just love this thing. It's one of those little "must have".
I let my software audio player (Foobar2000) do the replay gain, when playing music on my computer. For my hardware player, MP3Gain is perfect.
Excellent idea and method for truly having all of your MP3s at the same base volume. I have several thousand files finished with this program. It's a standard for me.
Awesome program. Normalizing done in a not-so-evil way.
MP3Gain is a must have!!!


The Roving Naturalists collections will offer glimpses of the specimens and artifacts collected and the cultures, climates, and creatures the early naturalists encountered as they explored the Floridan peninsula. Most of these travelers followed in the 1765 footsteps of the King's Botanist John Bartram. According to Francis Harper, "Bartram was probably the first botanist to examine and report on the flora of Florida and the greater part of Georgia. In South Carolina, he [Bartram] had apparently been preceded only by Mark Catesby and Dr. Alexander Garden." Each of the men to follow Bartram added to the knowledge of the new lands, the native cultures, and "the Wonderful Creatures of this New World." This project will integrate the life and times of the roving naturalists based on their journals and written accounts.


During the early teen years, girls' bodies change rapidly, and at the same time differently from one another. This often leads to questions when you look at yourself, as "Am I normal?".

Relationships at school and at activities become very important. You may have a best friend or a group of friends. Good friends mean alot to girls.
As you grow older you start to make more of your own decisions. One good way to take care of yourself is to find reliable information so that you are well informed as you make the best decision for you.

nineties berlin ist eine multimediale Ausstellung, die in der Alten Münze in Berlin-Mitte vom 4. August 2018 bis zum 28. Dezember 2019 zu sehen war. Die Ausstellung zeigt auf 1500 Quadratmetern das Jahrzehnt nach dem Fall der Mauer und informiert über die Veränderungen der Stadt Berlin. Themen sind Veränderungen im politischen, sozialen, musikalischen, künstlerischen und subkulturellen Sektoren im Berlin der neunziger Jahre. Am 4. Dezember 2019 wurde nineties berlin vom European Museum Forum für den European Museum of the Year Award 2020 nominiert.

Konzipiert wurde sie vom DDR Museum in Berlin. nineties berlin wird von der DDR Kultur UG betrieben, deren Gesellschafter die Muson GmbH sowie die DDR Museum Berlin GmbH sind.

Ausstellungsaufbau
nineties berlin hat sechs stetige Ausstellungsräume und einen zusätzlichen Raum für Wechselausstellungen.

Heartbeat of Berlin
Der Ausstellungsrundgang beginnt mit einem dunkler Eingangstunnel, der einen Clubeingang darstellen soll. Tiefe Bässe sind zu hören und zu spüren, die symbolisch für den Herzschlag Berlins stehen sollen.

Berlin Island
Ein 286 Quadratmeter große Panoramabildschirm gibt einen visuellen und thematischen Überblick über das Jahrzehnt. Zu sehen sind originale Foto- und Videoaufnahmen, die u. a. die Nacht des Mauerfalls, der verhüllte Reichstag und die Loveparade zeigen. In der Mitte des Raumes steht ein großes Sitzmöbel in Form des geteilten Berlins. Geteilt wird das Modell durch einen "Grenzstreifen". Dort befinden sich Fotos, die die DDR-Grenztruppen 1988/89 von der Berliner Mauer anfertigten.

Berlin Heads
Auf 14 großen Video-Stelen werden Interviews mit Protagonisten der Stadt Berlin in den 90ern abgespielt. Jeder der Filme mit den Zeitzeugen ist in verschiedene Themen unterteilt. In Vitrinen hinter den Stelen befinden sich historische Gegenstände, die von den interviewten Personen zur Verfügung gestellt wurden.

Die Interviewten sind Taner Bahar (Hip-Hoper), Marcus Becker (Bauingenieur), Ben de Biel (Fotograf, Clubbesitzer), Michael S. Cullen (Historiker), Sven Friedrich (ehem. Hooligan), Gregor Gysi (Politiker), Inga Humpe (Musikerin), Andreas Jeromin (ehem. Hausbesetzer), Kai-Uwe Kohlschmidt (Punkrock-Musiker), Danielle de Picciotto (Künstlerin), Andreas Schlüter (Polizist), Stefan Wolle (Historiker), WestBam (DJ) und seit kurzem auch Flake Christian Lorenz (Musiker – Rammstein).

Feel the Wall
Die Überwindung der SED-Diktatur durch die Friedliche Revolution wird im Raum "Feel the Wall" thematisiert. Dafür wurde eine begehbare Installation auf zwölf original Mauerteilen gebaut. Besucher bekommen hier Informationen, wie es zum Mauerbau kam, was mit der Mauer nach 1989 geschah und warum sich heute im Berliner Stadtbild kaum noch Mauerteile finden.

Fear the Wall
In diesem Raum werden die 140 Opfer der Berliner Mauer vorgestellt. Jeder Name ist an einer Wand angebracht. Den Namen stehen 140 Kalaschnikow-Modelle gegenüber als Symbole für die stetige Todesdrohungen bei Fluchtversuchen.

Lost Berlin
Die Zentren der Berliner Underground- und Techno-Bewegung werden im Labyrinth "Lost Berlin" dargestellt. Sie stehen sinnbildlich für die Berliner Musik- und Clubkultur. In insgesamt sechs Sackgassen werden folgende Institutionen/Orte vorgestellt:
 Tresor, Technoclub
 Kunsthaus Tacheles, Kunsthaus
 Eimer, Underground-Club
 Jugendradio DT64, Radiosender
 Frontpage, Technomagazin
 Tekknozid, Tekknozid-Partys

Am Ende des von den Künstlern Stefan Schilling und Gustav Sonntag gestalteten Labyrinths befindet sich ein verspiegelter Raum mit einer interaktiven Sound-Maschine mit allen Hymnen der Loveparade.

Ausstellungselemente

Multimediale Elemente
Zu den multimedialen Elementen gehören:

 Eine 270 Grad-Leinwandprojektion: 55 Meter Länge, 5,20 Meter Höhe, 286 Quadratmeter Fläche
 14 Stelen mit Interviews mit 55 Zoll Bildschirmen, kombiniert mit Soundduschen und alternativ Kopfhörern
 6 große Touchscreens in "Lost Berlin"
 "Guide Bot" – die vertiefende Führung auf dem eigenen Smartphone (Leihgeräte an der Kasse)

Bauelemente

Im Raum "Berlin Island" ist ein Modell des geteilten Berlins integriert, auf dem die Besucher Platz nehmen und sich den Film auf dem 286 Quadratmeter großen Bildschirm ansehen können. Ost- und Westberlin trennt der Grenzstreifen, ein weißer Durchgang, der Fotos Richtung Ost- und Westberlin, die die DDR-Grenztruppen 1988/89 von der Berliner Mauer anfertigten, zeigt.

Zwölf originale Teile der Berliner Mauer sind im Raum "Feel the Wall" zu sehen. Hinter der Mauerkonstruktion befinden sich Aufgänge hinauf zu einer "Aussichtsplattform", wie es sie in Westberlin mit Blick auf die Hauptstadt der DDR gab. Unter den Aufgängen befindet sich der Raum "Fear the Wall". Die dortige Installation steht sinnbildlich für die Aufarbeitung der Vorgänge an der Berliner Mauer nach dem Untergang der DDR.

Das Labyrinth "Lost Berlin" wurde von den Künstlern Stefan Schilling und Gustav Sonntag gestaltet, beide lebten und arbeiteten im Kunsthaus Tacheles. Das Kunstwerk setzt sich aus Graffiti, gemalten Bildern und Schriftzügen zusammen. Die Wege zu jeder der sechs Sackgassen ist speziell auf die Institutionen zugeschnitten.

Audioguide
Ein kostenloser Audioguide (Guide Bot) kann vom Besucher auf das eigene Smartphone abgerufen werden. Er wurde für nineties berlin entwickelt und informiert mit 200 Informationstexten auf Deutsch und Englisch über die Ausstellung und über einzelne Objekte.

Die Alte Münze

Die Alte Münze ist ein ehemaliges Münzprägewerk am Ufer der Spree. Der Baukomplex liegt in einem der ältesten historischen Viertel der Hauptstadt und steht seit den 1980er Jahren unter Denkmalschutz. Seit den 1930er Jahren wurden hier Münzen unterschiedlicher Währungen geprägt: von der Reichsmark über die Währung der DDR bis hin zur D-Mark und dem Euro. Die Staatliche Münze gab den Produktionsstandort zum Jahreswechsel 2005/06 auf. Seit 2009 verwaltet die Projekt030 GmbH das historische Gebäude.

Farm life requires many different types of machines to get work done in all four seasons. Our most easily recognized pieces of equipment are probably our bright green John Deere farm tractor and our sporty dark green Gator utility vehicle! These essential pieces of equipment are favorites of many children that visit Sheep Pasture (and some of the adults as well!) Your donation will help keep the great green machines running smoothly at Sheep Pasture for another year!
All sponsorship donors will receive a free NRT decal to show your support for NRT and Sheep Pasture!
