The Parable of the Disney Vacation
There was a family named Harris who lived in Minnesota. Howard and Jane Harris had three children, Michael, 13, Jacob, 9, and Sarah 6. The Harris' had been saving and dreaming about their long awaited trip to Disney. By the end of the month, they reached their goal for airfare, car rental, reservations at a nearby motel, and 5-day passes to Disney World. The children had additionally saved their own money to spend on souvenirs. It was an exciting day when they zipped up their suitcases and headed for the airport!
The travel brochures were dog-eared and torn from repeated study. Michael had a map of the Magic Kingdom carefully plotted out for optimum enjoyment and minimal waiting in lines. The whole family had been watching the Disney Channel and intently listening to any and all travel reports of friends and associates who had been on the "big trip" before them. Only last week, Mrs. Harris had discovered the Disney internet site on her best friend's computer and printed out pages of additional information. They were ready . . . armed and dangerous.
The weather forecast was perfect, and as the plane circled Orlando the family crowded around the little window and actually saw the EPCOT sphere in the distance. The plane landed without incident and the whole family shot out of their seats and were first in line to exit to the airport. Mr. Harris had studied the map of the Orlando airport and knew right where to go to get their rental car. Again, everything went smooth as silk. It was hard to tell who was more excited, the parents, or the kids.
The flight had been late enough that the Harris' decided to save their passes for a full day in the parks. They made their way to the motel and settled in for the night, so they would be all ready for their first exciting day at Disney, first thing in the morning. The motel front desk rang their room at 6 AM, but everyone was already awake. The children had showered the night before, and Jacob had worn his pajamas OVER his clothes, so he could be ready faster!
The motel offered a continental breakfast and the Harris' ate it in the car on the way to the Magic Kingdom. The weather was perfect. As hard as they tried to be early, there were already cars lined up at the parking lot booths, but it only added to their excitement. They parked in Daisy 3 and decided not to wait for the tram and walked straight to the entrance.
As they got closer, they noticed the sprinklers were going on high, creating such a mist that they couldn't really see where they were going, but the crowds headed right into the mist and the Harris' shrugged their shoulders, took a deep breath, and plowed into the mist right after them.
It was the strangest thing. As the mist cleared, the Harris' had a sensation come over them like they had just come inside from a strong wind, and when they got their breath, each and every one of them had no idea where they were, or why they were where they were. In fact, the large crowds of people they saw before them were milling around as bewildered as the Harris'. They knew each other. They knew they were a family. But they had no other recollections at all.
Through the crowds they saw booths and turnstiles, but no one seemed interested in them. As they approached the first group of people, they overheard what sounded to be someone explaining what was going on to a new group of arrivals. Catching only part of the story they noticed that all around them people were discussing what was going on. It was hard to tell if anyone really knew what they were talking about. They heard someone calling out "Come and get it!" And as they looked in that direction they saw a large group gathering around a man with a little cart. More people started rushing to get closer and the Harris' felt something important must be happening over there so they quickly headed in that direction as well. The noise and mass of people made it impossible to see what was happening in the center but the Harris' kept making their way to the center. They started noticing people pushing back in the other direction with a tight grasp on a variety of trinkets and souvenirs. After several minutes in this pushing and shoving crowd, the Harris' found themselves at the cart just in time to hear the man say, "Sorry, I'm all out!" And before they could overcome their disappointment, everyone seemed to be moving off in another direction toward another man and cart. It soon became apparent that there were such carts coming and going throughout the whole area between the mist and the turnstiles.
It seemed that everyone felt it was important to get to the carts and get as many souvenirs as possible, it became somewhat of a frenzy. The Harris' began to feel foolish to be empty handed. Mrs. Harris suddenly noticed that Jacob was no longer with them. She panicked.
"Where's Jacob?" They all started combing the crowds for a view of Jacob and calling out his name. It wasn't long before this enterprising young man appeared out of the crowd, loaded down with armfuls of souvenirs.
"Look what I got!" he announced, and the whole family ran to see all the stuff Jacob had acquired.
"How'd you get all this stuff Jake?" Michael demanded.
"I just squirmed my way through the crowds. Sometimes it pays to be little."
Now the Harris' could walk with pride in their new t-shirts and mouseketeer hats carrying their stuffed animals and pennants and Goofy pencils.
"I'm gonna get some more," announced Jacob, and Michael trotted off after him.
"Hurry back!" said Mrs. Harris, though she wasn't really sure why. She noticed some people had found places to sit down, some even spread blankets on the ground and were eating.
"I'm hungry," whined Sarah.
"I wonder where they got that food," commented Mrs. Harris to her husband. Before they had time to wonder too much, back came Jacob and Michael, with more souvenirs AND popcorn and soda for everyone.
"Let's find a place to sit down," said Mrs. Harris.
"I don't like popcorn Mommy! I want ice cream! Those people have ice cream!" Sarah pouted as she pointed to a group a few yards away.
"Maybe they'll trade some of their ice cream for this popcorn," said Mr. Harris. The neighbors agreed and this little transaction was noticed by others and before long, everyone was trading their stuff for other stuff. Now the Harris' had a little piece of sidewalk they claimed as home, they had eaten and traded a little and wondered what would happen next.
Jacob came back from another expedition and announced that he saw a couple guys in striped shirts and beanies come up to some man and lead him to the turnstiles. The man didn't want to go and yelled and kicked but they were bigger than him and had managed to get him through despite the fight he put up. The man's family cried and begged the men to leave him alone but to no avail.
"That's terrible!" said Mrs. Harris.
"Mommy, I'm scared of the turnstiles," whimpered Sarah.
"Don't worry honey, we won't let anybody take you through those nasty turnstiles," Mrs. Harris said as she took Sarah into her arms just as she noticed men in striped shirts and beanies ushering off a woman in the distance.
"I'm going to find out what's going on," said Mr. Harris. And he walked over to their nearest neighbors and asked what they knew about the men in striped shirts and the turnstiles.
"Oh that's been going on all morning, haven't you noticed?"
"We just found out about it, where are they taking these people?"
"No one really knows," said the father. "Some people say it is a terrible place, but I heard one woman saying it was a wonderful place."
"Well, I figure it is something to avoid,"said Mr. Harris and he went back to his family.
"Where is Michael," he asked when he got back to the others.
"He went off with Jacob a few minutes ago."
"Well here is Jacob, and still no Michael. I'm going to go look for him, you all stay put." But before Mr. Harris could get ten paces from his family he saw a commotion ahead of him and there moving toward the turnstiles were two men with Michael between them. He was scared and not really putting up a fight. Instinctively Mr. Harris ran as fast as he could, shouting, "Stop! Stop! That's my son! Wait! You can't take him like that! Stop!"
It was too late. Michael was gone. Mr. Harris was stunned. He went up to the turnstiles and paced back and forth, calling to Michael. But big panels with bright colored pictures blocked his view and he could not get a glimpse of what was on the other side. A woman came up to him and put her arm around him, trying to comfort him. By now, the rest of the family arrived and they all huddled together and cried. Mr. Harris was inconsolable, "I didn't think they'd take a kid!" he sobbed, "he was only 13!"
As grief and fear engulfed this little family, Mrs. Harris noticed something pulling on her sleeve. It was Sarah.
"Sarah, what do you want! Please stop that honey."
"But Momma, I heard Mikey," Sarah implored.
"Honey, Mikey is gone, you couldn't hear him."
"Yes Momma, he's been calling to us." They just patted Sarah on the head and walked mournfully back to their little square of pavement.
No one felt like eating. Even Jacob had no interest in searching for souvenirs. They all just sat on the ground, numb and helpless.
"Mikey said to stop crying. He's happy, " whispered Sarah. "He said we needed tickets."
"Sarah, honey, what are you talking about?"
"I heard him Momma, Mikey said we needed tickets!" Mr. and Mrs. Harris exchanged glances.
"What kind of tickets, Sarah?"
"I don't know. That's all I heard"
"I know," said Jacob quietly.
"What Jacob? What do you know?"
"About the tickets. You get them from those booths over there."
"But if you need tickets, why did Michael get taken? He didn't have a ticket."
"Yes he did."
"What? How did he get a ticket?"
"I gave it to him."
"How did you get a ticket?"
"Someone traded me for it. I already had three Goofy hats, so I said OK. Then I traded with Mike. I'm sorry Dad, I didn't know what the tickets were for!" Jacob collapsed into his father's arms, sobbing like a baby.
Mr. Harris didn't know what to say, so he just hugged Jacob.
"Do you think Sarah might have really heard Michael?" Mrs. Harris whispered to her husband.
"I don't know. Just as Michael went through the turnstiles I got a glimpse of his face before he went behind those big panels."
"What did he look like?"
"Sort of . . . amazed."
"Was he frightened?"
"No. It was like he was saying, . . . 'Wow!'"
"Jacob, honey, what else do you know about those tickets?"
"Well, there's one of those booths, and people, not very many, but a few, stand in line and take this paper out of their pockets and hand it to the person in the booth and then they get this ticket."
"Then what do they do?"
"The men in the striped shirts take the tickets and let people into the turnstiles."
You mean they force them through the turnstiles."
"Well, some people, but others wait in line to go through the turnstiles."
"Why would they want to do that?"
"I don't know. The other people make fun of them and call them crazy. But they just ignore them."
"Jacob, why did you take a ticket from someone if you knew they were for going through the turnstiles?"
"I didn't know when I took the ticket. Someone told me about it after I gave it to Mike. I tried to find him and tell him to get rid of the ticket, but he had walked off by then."
"Who told you about it?"
"This girl."
"What did she say?"
"She told me that everyone was wrong about the turnstiles. She said no one understood what it was really like on the other side of those panels. She told me she had found a ticket and they came and got her and she started through the panels when they brought her back out and said her ticket was no longer valid or something."
"Did she see what was on the other side of the panels?"
"She said she did. But I didn't believe her."
"Well, Jake, just tell us what she said she saw."
"She said it was beautiful and everyone there seemed really happy. She said she felt really sad that she couldn't stay, and she wanted to go back but she didn't have a ticket and she didn't have any pockets or any souvenirs to trade."
Mrs. Harris paused, then said, "Look in your pockets everyone. See if you have anything in them."
Mr. Harris and Jacob both pulled out little leather folders. Sarah had one little pocket with a pack of chewing gum in it. Mrs. Harris didn't have any pockets, just a zipper pack wrapped around her waste. She opened it and found a plastic card, a bottle of Tylenol, and bottle of sunscreen. Mr. Harris opened his leather folder and took out several pieces of colored paper.
"That's the stuff the people hand to the guys in the booths!" said Jacob.
"I wonder how many tickets you could get with that paper," said Mrs. Harris.
"What are you thinking sweetheart?" asked Mr. Harris.
Mrs. Harris couldn't speak.
"You want us to go get tickets and follow Michael through those turnstiles don't you?"
"Sarah said he sounded happy."
"That's what she thought she heard."
"And you said he said 'Wow!'"
"I said it looked like maybe he might have been saying something like that."
"And the girl didn't want to come back."
"Jane, you're grasping at straws!"
"Oh Howard! You don't know why we're here! No one really knows! But that little girl saw what was on the other side. And why do we have that colored paper in our pockets when the only thing it is good for is to get tickets to go through those turnstiles?! And why do people line up for tickets and stand in line at the turnstiles by their own choice? Not one person in this crowd can tell us what is so awful about the other side! They are only scared because they don't know for sure. What if it IS wonderful!? Michael is waiting for us to come and be with him." She grabbed the folder and colored paper out of Mr. Harris' hand and started for the ticket booth. The rest of the family followed her, uncertain what was ahead for them.
As she approached the booth, a woman came up to Mrs. Harris and handed her a brochure. It said "Disney World" on the front.
"We are all here for a purpose. Read this, and you will understand," the woman said.
Mrs. Harris looked down at the brochure. Something about it seemed familiar. She opened it and as she read, tears came to her eyes. Her family caught up to her as she held the brochure to her heart and wept. "Read this. Howard, we are going to get tickets."
Mr. Harris looked at the brochure. It sounded too good to be true. "I don't know about this Jane." "Well I do. Please stop doubting. Michael is waiting for us. I just hope we have enough of this paper." Mr. Harris was not so confident as his wife, so he kept reading while she stood in line at the booth. As it turned out, they had more than enough paper for four more tickets. Still Mr. Harris felt uncomfortable. Then he saw a picture of Mickey Mouse in the brochure, hugging a little girl Sarah's age. All around he saw the people with those mouse ears on their hats and shirts and on the big panels behind the turnstiles, and it all started making sense to him. In fact, on his wrist was a watch and there on the face was that same mouse. It had to mean there was purpose in all this, that there was something more than this space between the mist and the turnstiles. When he finally came to this conclusion, he heard a faint familiar sound. It sounded like Michael.
"Go for it, Dad!"
What can appear in life as tragic loss inflicted by an uncaring God, has a very different meaning from an eternal perspective. Don't forget why we are really here!

On 22 July 2017 — 142 years after the publication of the first newspaper in Azerbaijan — 255 journalists will receive free flats from the government. A large 17-floor building has been constructed on President Ilham Aliyev's decree to accommodate these.
Four years ago, 156 journalists were awarded with flats, and on top of the current giveaway, a third building is on the way for journalists.
Media agencies will themselves nominate employees to be given flats. According to the State Fund for Support to Development of Mass Media, media agencies can propose candidates who have worked for them for at least the last three years and who have worked in the media for at least the last ten. Only employees who do not own property, and whose spouse and children do not own property, will be eligible.
According to Aflatun Amashov, member of parliament and head of the Azerbaijani Press Council, the Presidential Administration will decide whom to award with flats.
According to Mushfig Alasgarli, head of the Trade Union of Journalists and deputy head of the Press Council, the idea was first brought to the agenda by the media themselves at the beginning of 2000.
'As a trade union of journalists, we publicised this idea in 2002. (…) In 2004–2005, the Journalist Flat Cooperative Union was established; they made a lot of effort to solve the flat problems of journalists', Alasgarli told OC Media.
According to 2002 statistics from the Trade Union of Journalists, 85% of journalists in the country did not own their own flat.
'Professional journalists leave the sector as they cannot buy their own flats and receive low incomes; they shift their occupation in order to be able to buy flats, which in turn impacts the quality of the media negatively', said Alasgarli.
During the opening of the first building on 22 July 2013, Ilham Aliyev, President of Azerbaijan, hailed the initiative as the first of its kind in the world, and demonstrated 'Azerbaijan's leadership in this regard'. In total, ₼22 million ($13 million) was spent from the state budget on the construction of the building and landscaping of the adjacent area.
Some journalists in Azerbaijan have spoken out about the scheme, both now and during a previous giveaway four years ago. Journalists have been divided into two groups: those who say it is normal to be given free flats, including the candidates themselves, and those who disagree with this idea.
While the former group claims that providing journalists with flats and increasing their well-being should be seen as positive attention towards the country's media, the latter group disagrees. They claim that giving flats and other valuable gifts to journalists destroys the independence and freedom of the media, and leads to corrupted journalists.
Thirty-seven-year-old freelance journalist Aytan Farhadova is against the government giving flats to journalists. She does not believe that the goal is to help them.
'It is done to silence the journalists. How can a journalist who received a flat from the state criticise their ineffective politics?', Farhadova told OC Media.
Farhadova has been a journalist for the last 13 years. She has a young child and her husband passed away a few years ago. She lives with her parents. Although she admits that she needs her own flat, she notes that she does not have any wish to win free presidential flat.
'I do not intend to either apply or ask the state for a flat. I am not the president's spokesperson, I am a journalist. I need a country with the rule of law more than I need a flat. After all, why are flats given to journalists? What is the difference between a journalist and other professions?', Farhadova said.
Turan Information Agency have refused to participate in the scheme. Mehman Aliyev, director of the agency, said that although he and his staff were approached to apply in 2013, they turned down the offer.
'I am glad that this year they have not approached us. They know well that we do not accept gifts from the government. We know that their goal is to silence the media and to control it', Aliyev told OC Media.
Alasgar Mammadli, ex-Deputy Chief of Party for the USAID Azerbaijan New Media Project, said that when journalists receive flats from the government, their chances to speak the truth decreases to a minimum. He said that it can be used as a way to take power over journalists.
'Journalists are not the only ones who need social support. Feelings of self-censorship from journalists who are awarded free flats will grow stronger and they will have to overlook everything', Mammadli told OC Media.
According to him, if the government really wants to support the media, it should do so by creating a free environment.
Elchin Bayramli, 42, editor of Azadinform Information Agency, sees the provision of flats to journalists as natural, and admits that he has even applied himself.
'Per our constitution, Azerbaijan is a social state and the state gives aid from gross income to groups with low incomes. Why not give [flats] to journalists with low social status?', Bayramli told OC Media.
Bayramli has worked in the media for 20 years. He said that he has been renting a home for many years. His wife is also a journalist with 16 years of experience.
'We have been married for 13 years and we have never had the opportunity to buy even a one room shack, nevermind a flat. Now we ask our state for the flat that we have never had', Bayramli said.
According to Bayramli, it is absurd to claim that journalists will be dependent on the government once they receive a free flat.
'Personally, I have a lot of criticism in the materials I have written. My position and professional principles are not going to change, even if I win a flat', he continued.
Bahruz Guliyev, head of the pro-government Ses newspaper and Ses Information Agency disagrees that journalists awarded flats lose their independence, 'rather this makes them freer', he told OC Media.
'Journalists work many years and still cannot buy a house, the state helps to relieve their burden. Then a journalist provided with flat would not ponder on domestic life, rather could focus on his job', Guliyev continues.
He adds that journalists' services to the media, not their political position or views, are considered while awarding flats.
Several employees of Ses received flats from the government in 2013. This time 12 journalists from both the newspaper and the website applied for free housing.
Mushfig Alasgarli, the head of Trade Union of Journalists said that those who claim that journalists lose their independence have no idea of what is going in the world.
'We can list USA, Germany, Austria, Sweden and many other states that spend from the state budget for the development of the media and resolving journalists' problems. The structure might be different, but the content is the same', Alasgarli said, adding that there the criteria for eligibility leave no mechanism that would control or silence journalists.
The government plan's have raised eyebrows abroad. Azerbaijan has been criticised for its dismal record on media freedom and repression against local journalists by a number of international watchdogs, including Freedom House, Reporters Without Borders, and the Institute for Reporters' Freedom and Safety.
'Journalists who are granted apartments for free by the government or the president will automatically fall under the government's control. They cannot be considered any longer independent journalists', Ricardo Gutiérrez, General Secretary of the European Federation of Journalists, told OC Media.
Gutiérrez says that state-funded free housing to journalists was completely the wrong solution and stressed that this was in total contradiction to recommendations signed off on by Azerbaijan in April 2016.
According to Gutiérrez, 'the one and only acceptable solution is to improve their working conditions and to guarantee their freedom to report in an independent way. By offering journalists free housing, Azerbaijan is doing the contrary: the government exposes journalists to undue pressures. That's totally unacceptable'.


Huawei-possessed brand Honor has declared a smartphone launch occasion for June 6 in Beijing, China where it is required to reveal another handset in the Honor Play series and two variants of the upcoming Honor 9i. Two Honor phones have likewise been spotted on Chinese certification gateway TENAA that show a looming launch.
The company is prodding the launch of another variant of the Honor 9i as its next budget smartphones, with a notch flaunted. The launch is set for June 6 in Beijing. This could be a successor to the first Honor 9i launched in October a year ago, and that didn't have a display notch. Concerning the puzzling smartphone in the Honor Play series, the company hasn't revealed much on that front aside from that it will touch base with certain AI-based abilities much like latest Honor smartphones.
Two Honor phones with model numbers LLD-AL20 and LLD-AL30, both of which could be variants of the Honor 9i, have been spotted on TENAA. According to the postings, the phones will touch base in Black, Gray, and Blue shading alternatives. Measurements of the handsets are 149.2x71.8x7.7mm and weight is 152 grams. Furthermore, there is a dual camera setup on the back with a 13-megapixel essential sensor and a 2-megapixel optional sensor. On the front, the handsets don a 16-megapixel selfie camera. Connectivity alternatives incorporate Bluetooth, USB, and 4G VoLTE (counting support for India, with Band 40).
The display size of the smartphone is 5.84 creeps with a 1080x2280 pixels determination and a 19:9 perspective ratio. The phone runs Android 8.0.0 Oreo, highlights 4GB of RAM, and an octa-center SoC timed at 2.36GHz. There is a 2900mAh battery on board. Sensors incorporate accelerometer, surrounding light sensor, and fingerprint sensor. The specifications are similar to that of the Huawei P20 Lite. There is a minor distinction in specifications recorded on TENAA, with the LLD-AL20 recorded with 64GB of storage, while the LLD-AL30 has 32GB and 128GB storage. Both are expandable by means of microSD card (up to 256GB).
Honor's budget smartphone portion has been seeing a considerable measure of movement as of late. This week, the brand launched the Honor 7S, a nearly rebranded adaptation of the Honor Play 7, in Pakistan. Moreover, the brand additionally declared the Honor 7A and Honor 7C in India this month with availability anticipated that would initiate from this week.

Update: Massachusetts Senate Rejects "Nero's Law", Budget Amendment Allowing Emergency Care to Police K-9s
Back To Legislative Alerts
By AKC Government Relations
May 26, 2021 | 1 Minute
During its debate of SB 3, the Commonwealth's proposed budget, the Massachusetts Senate rejected Amendment #580, the text from "Nero's Law". The proposal, which sought to allow emergency care and transportation for a police dog injured in the line of duty, is named for "Nero", the K9 partner of fallen Yarmouth Police Sergeant Sean Gannon who was shot and killed in the line of duty in April 2018. Nero was also shot, but current state law prevented EMTs from treating or transporting him.
The American Kennel Club (AKC) has been a long-standing supporter of implementing "Nero's Law" in Massachusetts and recently participated in a meeting convened by Representative Steven Xiarhos to collaborate on passage of the language as a separate bill this session. AKC Government Relations (GR) has also reached out to Senator Mark Montigny, who filed the budget amendment, to understand why it failed in the Senate.
AKC GR will continue to provide updates on this important matter. For more information on these or other legislative issues in Massachusetts, contact AKC GR at 919-816-3720 or doglaw@akc.org; or the Massachusetts Federation of Dog Clubs and Responsible Dog Owners at info@massfeddogs.org.

Lighthouse Christian Radio Ministry Update: April-June 2017
by Clive Welsh | Jul 16, 2017 | Lighthouse Radio
It's always with great joy and excitement to sit down with you and give you a brief update of the happenings in the life of Clive as I reflect on the absolute grace of God allowing me to participate in the things He's doing with me. I was recently encouraged by a line from a sermon I heard, "God takes the ordinary that we give to Him and does the extra ordinary with it to touch lives with love and compassion." That hit the nail on the head as I think back on the past few month and being a little discouraged not seeing droves of people repenting of their sin and committing their lives to Christ. I'm excited and fired up to continue pressing on!
I'm very grateful for the outpour of love through the birthday greetings I've received through Facebook messages, emails, cards, letters, calls and personal greetings. Many questions are asked concerning when I will retire and to be honest the thought never occurred to me, though sometimes I would jokingly ask where I go in order to give my retirement or resignation letter. My answer remain the same "my times are in his hands." The next question asked is when will I slow down? To which I answer, "The Lord knows ". You see there are so many things still on my heart that I still sense God has yet for me in fulfilling His purposes so I eagerly avail myself to Him daily. Since you haven't heard from me over the past few months, I'd look to briefly bring you up to date with some of the things, events, activities, and people's lives I've had the privilege to serve!
Training of the San Pedro Chapter of the Justices of the Peace & Commissioners of the Supreme Court!
San Pedro Association of Justice of the Peace: April made it a full year since I was appointed to head the local chapter of the Association of Justice of the Peace & Commissioner of the Supreme Court. I've served as a JP for twelve years and was contacted by the National President asking if I would assist in getting the San Pedro JP's together for a meeting in hopes of getting the Chapter up and running again after a 3 to 4 years of dormancy. After many attempts of refusing the nominations for president of the San Pedro Chapter, I explained how busy I was currently with many comments and responsibility and committed to one year of a two year term. Well, a year later and we've climbed out of the dormant/inactive status and recently completed a successful training with 50 JPs in attendance, many who have never received the basic training which was taught by the National President. A community service organization that is described by the Attorney General of Belize as a very respected and honorable volunteer service liken to that of an Inspector of Police and a Magistrate with responsibilities of signing important documents for the people of Belize and specifically those in our town!

Easter on the Island: San Pedro Town, Ambergris Caye is known as a tourist destination which brings in the largest amount of tourist dollars for the entire country. Easter is one of the holidays that attract tourist for spring break but a lot of folks from our neighboring nations also flock to the island along with many from the mainland, especially Belize City. It is known for its beach parties called 'Easter Bash' which starts after the "Dry Friday" where no alcohol is to be sold on Good Friday until 7:00 PM. It is really a phenomenal thing to be each year as the island is solemn also desolate with a sense of mourning all day long followed by the procession of the Catholics as they line the streets with men & boys on one side and women & girls on the other as they sing and recite prayers as they walked. Within an hour or so after, it's as if a bomb goes off and the loud music and parties begin and the stores begin to sell alcohol and partying goes on until Monday night. I always tell myself that I don't want to be on the island during Easter unless I'm involved in some form of outreach. Well the Evangelical Alliance of San Pedro, eight churches and Christian ministries, organized an collaborated outreach all over the island where each church stationed themselves at various locations around town with music, songs, placards and tracks (some with cupcakes and goodies) to pass out to those passing by.
Celebrating Easter by giving away Bibles, Books and Galcom ImpaX Radio at the Lighthouse!
Sunrise at the Lighthouse: To my knowledge there has never been a Easter Sunrise Service in San Pedro and with the incredible sunsets over the Caribbean Sea I ventured out to having one. The very first for us and the venue was on the roof of the building that houses Lighthouse Christian Radio. As I woke up Easter Sunday morning, the streets were still buzzing with the partiers making their way home and just before dawn a hush took place and the small gathering sat quietly and watched the sun rose. A very sweet time of worship led by a friend and a time of prayer and reflection from the Word of the significance of this morning above all other mornings; Jesus conquered death and now we can too. I'm really hoping that this will be a tradition and looking forward to seeing if the Alliance would like to make plans for all of the churches to join in next year.
Easter Sunrise at the Lighthouse!
A Father I never knew: I often describe Belize as a fatherless country, something very personal and dear to my heart as I grew up without a father who died when I was five years old. As many of you know, I have a real soft place in my heart for fatherless guys which is at the top of my list where most of my time, energy, ministry and passion is spent. Awhile back a Facebook post grabbed my attention and broke my heart and I wept as I read it, written by a young man that I've seen around but never met. I'd like to share it with you as it was written, not wanting to take away for the heart of pain with which it was written:
"This year my aim was to meet up with my dad to start and build up a father and son relationship; the relationship we never really had when I was growing up because all my life I somewhat tried to avoid him as he wasn't apart of my life growing up. Ignoring the fact that he is and will always be apart of me, it's my pleasure to thank you for bringing me into this world, despite all that, all I can feel right now is a huge stone of negativity and guilt in my heart for having such a cold heart to him.. now my aim of building a father-son relationship will never be a success because your gone. Dad I would really like to say how sorry I am for being a little ungrateful but it may be late. I pray that God may forgive me for how I was with you, it's really shocking thing to find out in the middle of the day as I am very speechless, I can't thank you enough for bringing me into this world, may you rest in peace dad."
Through some interesting 'divine appointments' we were able to meet and felt the Father heart of God reaching out to embraced this young man. Please pray that He would received the love of God as demonstrated through His Son, Jesus Christ!
Praying at the Grand Opening of the new Ambergris Football Stadium!
Salt & Light in San Pedro: Over the years I have been asked by the Mayor of San Pedro Town on many occasions to do the invocation (opening prayer) before events ranging from private meets with Mayors both Nationally and Internationally, Official Gatherings; Independence Day Ceremonies, Mother's Day Extravaganza and Inaugurations. It has been a tremendous honor and I'm humbled each time to be the very first person to address these gatherings after the Master of Ceremony and to invoke God's blessing upon the event. This is such a privilege to do this and I'm so thankful that the country of Belize see this a necessity before every ceremony right after the National Anthem. At two recent meetings, the Mayor introduced me as the San Pedro Town Council official Pastor, I was stunned by that title and felt both the awe and responsibility of that title. God has opened doors for me to be salt and light to this community and with that, an enlarged heart of the residents. Please pray for my continual influence for Christ in the various platforms I've been given in San Pedro!
Working closely with the Officer in Charge of the San Pedro Police Formation-dedication of new Police Substation North Ambergris Caye!
I apologize for the lengthy delay in sending out what was to be my Monthly Update as it is very important for you keep up with what is going on with me and the ministry. It continues to be a very challenging keeping up with all that is on my plate and I really need your prayers and financial support more than ever. I will update you shortly on what some of those specific needs are and until then, please pray for me!

Engineer maimed during second day at new job
An engineering firm failed on three separate occasions to make sure that a drill had adequate guarding before it was used by an employee.
Michael O'Brien, 60, suffered permanent loss of movement to three fingers in his left hand after his glove was drawn into the chuck of a drill, while working as an engineer on only his second day at Jex Engineering Company Ltd.
A court heard that the incident took place on 1 December 2009, while Mr O'Brien was installing a machine during the construction of a waste-transfer station in Leyland, Preston.
He was drilling holes into a steel plate as part of the installation of a conveyor belt, which was being built to transfer waste at the site. Jex Engineering had hired a magnetic drill stand and drill unit but didn't check that the machine's guard was in place. As Mr O'Brien began drilling, the back of his left glove touched the rotating drill and his hand was pulled into the machine. He spent four days in hospital and required several skin grafts. He has been unable to return to work owing to his injuries.
HSE inspector, Allen Shute, revealed that the company wasted several opportunities to make sure the drill had adequate guarding. It could have made appropriate checks when the drill was delivered, when it was issued to Mr O'Brien, and when it carried out a full-site risk assessment before the work began.
Inspector Shute said: "These injuries have had a devastating impact on an engineer who relies on being able to use his hands for his job. Sadly, he has been unable to find work since the incident.
"Jex had three separate opportunities to make sure the drill was fitted with a guard, but it failed to act on all three occasions. Even small drills have the potential to cause serious injuries if they are not fitted with a guard. It's therefore vital that companies take the risk seriously."
Jex Engineering Company appeared at South Ribble Magistrates' Court, in Leyland, on 23 February and pleaded guilty to breaching Reg. 11(1)(a) of the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998, for failing to prevent access to dangerous machine parts. It was fined £4000 and ordered to pay £3250 towards costs.
In mitigation, the firm said it had no previous convictions and it stopped using the drill immediately following the incident. It has introduced a company-wide policy stipulating that all hired machinery must be checked to make sure it is safe for use before being issued to staff. The company has also sent its senior managers on health and safety training.
Speaking after the case, Mr O'Brien commented: "I'd only been working for the company for a couple of days but you just expect employers to know what they're doing when it comes to health and safety.
"Two of my fingers have been virtually paralysed and I now find it very difficult to grip with my left hand. Things I used to be able to do naturally, like holding a fork or opening a jar, now take real effort. I just hope the same thing doesn't happen to someone else, as I wouldn't wish it on anyone."

Абу аль-Мавахіб (Абу'л-Мавахіб) (д/н — 1333) — султан Кілви в 1310—1333 роки. Повне ім'я Абу аль-Мавахіб аль-Гасан ібн Сулейман.

Життєпис
Походив з династії Махдалі. Син султана Сулеймана III, після смерті якого 1308 року трон посів брат Дауд ібн Сулейман III. 1309 року здійснив хадж до Мекки. Невдовзі після повернення 1310 року брат поступився аль-Гасану троном (можливо під тиском знаті).

За правління Абу аль-Мавахіба держава переживала розквіт. Надходження великих статків сприяло активній будівничій діяльності султана. Було зведено палацовий комплекс Хусуні-Кубві на Занзібарі, добудовано Велику мечеть Кілви.

1331 року двір султана Кілви відвідав мандрівник Ібн Баттута, саме який надав йому прізвисько Абу аль-Мавахіб (Батько подарунків), за яким султан став відомий. Помер 1333 року. Трон знову обійняв його брат Дауд ібн Сулейман III.

GIFFORD — A young rapper's career is taking off, releasing a steady stream of singles and music videos, while his older brother — musician YNW Melly — awaits trial in Broward County Jail on two charges of capital murder.
Brandon King, 12, known professionally as YNW Bslime, has been in the recording studio, represented by brother Jamell Demons' manager, Jameson Francois, who operates 100K Management LLC in North Lauderdale.
"Lil' bro holding it down while I'm locked up … so proud of you," posted Demons Sept. 4 on his YNW Melly Twitter account.

Brandon has appeared in pictures posted on social media accounts with Demons throughout his brief career, and with his mother, Jamie King.
In a tribute to his older brother, YNW Bslime wrote a song called "Free Melly," released in August.
His latest single "Just Want You" made it to Spotify in mid-September. His latest music video to his song "Hot Sauce" was published to YouTube two weeks ago and has been viewed nearly 1.2 million times. He joined YouTube in July and has garnered over 190,000 followers.
His manager couldn't be reached for comment and his mother declined to comment or let Brandon comment. They moved to Miami in 2018. No other family members or friends could be reached.
Meanwhile, YNW Melly — who collaborated with Kanye West in an album released in January — has promises of an album from beyond the walls of the Broward County Jail.

His production team released his latest single in September.
It's unclear when the track was produced, but it was a collaboration with rapper 9lokknine, called ".223's" about various automatic and semi-automatic weapons and gang-related violence.
It's one year Oct. 26 since recording artists Anthony Williams — YNW Sakchaser — and Christopher Thomas Jr. — YNW Juvy — both childhood friends of Demons in Gifford, a community just outside the city limits of Vero Beach, were taken to Miramar Memorial Hospital and pronounced dead from gunshot wounds.
They were found in what police investigators said was a staged drive-by shooting.
Along with fourth childhood friend Cortlen Henry — YNW Bortlen — the pals regularly appeared in music videos with one another. According to Demons' official website, it was always his platform they shared.
Police issued a warrant for Demons' arrest as the primary suspect in the shooting deaths. He turned himself in to law enforcement authorities at the Broward County Jail Feb. 13, 2018 and was charged with two counts of first-degree murder. He is in jail without bail.

Henry was arrested a day before in Harris County, Texas on a warrant for the same charges, plus two charges of being an accessory-after-the-fact.
State attorneys and police detectives said Henry helped Demons with a cover-up — dropping the men off at a hospital, fabricating a story, concealing Demons' involvement and later retrieving the disposed weapons.
Both pleaded not-guilty to their charges, according to court documents.
Demons and Henry recently spent their seventh month in Broward County Jail and both turned 20 this year behind bars.
Neither Demons' nor Henry's attorneys could be reached for comment.
Recent courtroom accounts
As prosecutors continue to build their death-penalty case against Demons, Henry also awaits trial, and if convicted, could face a mandatory life sentence.

A status hearing in Broward County is scheduled in December on Demons' case.
Henry appeared in court Oct. 17 before Circuit Judge Andrew L. Siegel. It was the continuation of an Aug. 23 bail hearing, during which state attorneys were required to provide evidence Henry should remain in jail without bail.
The judge has not yet issued a ruling.
During the hearings, more details about the day of the alleged killings emerged.
According to Miramar police investigation records, eight men were at the Fort Lauderdale New Era Sound Studio planning to return to Demons' rented home in Miramar.

Police said they learned through the studio's surveillance footage that Henry drove with Williams in the passenger seat of a 2018 Jeep Compass, while Demons sat behind Henry in the rear left passenger seat across from Thomas.
Both police and Assistant State Attorney Kristine Bradley said Williams' and Demons' cell phone tracking information showed their phones go to a remote location in the Everglades where detectives said the homicides occurred.

Initially, police said Henry told them Williams and Thomas were victims of a drive-by shooting along Interstate 75 near Miramar Parkway, as they headed toward Demons' rented home in the Sunset Lakes housing development.
Forensic investigators searched the area but found no evidence of a shooting, according to investigation records.
"There is just no evidence in any way suggesting (Henry) was involved in the alleged murders," argued Henry's attorney, Fred Haddad, of Fort Lauderdale, according to Aug. 29 court documents.
He said the evidence showed Henry "never fired a weapon" and that "the shooting by all evidence occurred from the rear left seat; Mr. Henry was the driver."
Bradley said Henry drove Williams and Thomas to the Everglades, where Demons shot them both in the head and staged a drive-by, shooting their bodies again and shooting the exterior of the Jeep.
In court she played a DVD with a video found on Demons' phone dated exactly one month after the Oct. 26 shootings.

Bradley said it showed Demons saying he had no regrets for what he did. Then he put two fingers to his head in the video "in the shape of a gun," and gestured a gang sign with his hand, according to a Broward County court transcript from the hearing.
Along with the video, she presented a jail phone call after Henry's arrest in Harris County, Texas, between Henry and Demons where Henry asked Demons if there was a warrant out for his arrest.
Demons replied no, and told Henry, "…you can't talk about that ...", according to the transcript.
Bradley said it was proof they were co-conspirators.

A post shared by Free Melly & Melvin (@ynwmelly) on Oct 16, 2019 at 8:42pm PDT
Bradley said cell-phone evidence will play the "biggest part of this case" and presented intricate tracking data taken from Demons' and Williams' phones to create a timeline and place Demons at the scene of the shooting.
She said Williams was shot first and then Thomas.
Bradley said police found eight .40-caliber casings at the site. According to police, the round matched one .40-caliber casing found in a plastic bag in the backseat of the Jeep where Demons' was seated.

[Warning: The following video contains strong language and drug use.]
Demons has been in and out of detention since he was 16 on gun and drug related charges, according to TCPalm reports and his online artist biography.
Before he turned himself in to Broward County officials on murder charges Feb. 13, 2019, he had served 25 days in jail on drug charges in Fort Myers.
A 2015 report stated he was arrested after shooting at a group of people over an argument near Vero Beach High School where he was a student at the time.
More:YNW Melly: Was 'Murder On My Mind" about killing his friends?
It was around that time he wrote his breakout hit the lyrics of which played crucial roles in some of his earlier prosecutions, according to his biography on his official website.
It said: "While serving time on a weapons charge, Melly decided to not only get his G.E.D., but to dial down on his passion for music ... During his time behind bars, Melly experienced his first taste of success with his song 'Murder On My Mind.'"

Blog Is blind hiring right for your company?
Is blind hiring right for your company?
More and more companies are using blind hiring to increase diversity, but is it right for your company?
If you're not familiar with the concept, blind hiring is the practice of removing or hiding information that could reveal key demographic data about a job candidate. That might be the job candidate's photo, gender, name, race, age, address or alma mater.
The idea is that stripping away this kind of personal information cuts through unconscious bias and helps promote a more diverse workforce built on merit, instead of gut feelings or connections to candidates from similar backgrounds.
The practice has gained a great deal of traction in recent years, particularly in reaction to accusations of bias in the tech industry. As a result, some workplace experts suggest blind hiring as a potential solution.
Anonymous recruitment can be done in many ways.
You can have someone internally in your organization, such as your human resources manager or team, redact the information from résumés, applications and other screening forms. To make the process easier, you can also use recruiting software to automate screening, anonymize candidates and even conduct blind interviews.
You can also have job candidates complete a short project or test to assess their skills. Just be sure it isn't too involved – and if you're not conducting the assessment onsite, make certain it's the candidate who actually completes it (and not someone else).
Thinking about making blind hiring a part of your recruitment strategy? Consider these pros and cons to help you decide.
Blind hiring breaks through our unconscious bias and helps laser in on people with sought-after skills and talents – for example, the best coder for your website project.
Symphony orchestras have successfully used blind hiring for years. Between the '70s and '90s, orchestras transitioned to using a screen to conceal candidates during preliminary auditions.
In fact, a landmark study found that about 10 percent of orchestra members were female around 1970, compared to about 35 percent in the mid-1990s. The researchers, from Harvard and Princeton universities, attributed about 30 percent of this gain to the rise of blind auditions.
If blind hiring works to find the best musicians, it can also be used to single out the true, raw talent your company needs.
In some jobs – think software developers, scientists and engineers – you're judged primarily on the work you produce.
Blind hiring works well for positions in which skills are of the utmost importance. For example, designing a brochure and writing marketing content both require a specialized creative skill set. Blind hiring is also suited for remote workers who interact less frequently with their coworkers.
In these cases, comradery may be somewhat less important than in positions that require substantial interaction with colleagues in an office setting.
Have you ever gone with your gut when hiring someone, only to find out your gut was wrong and you hired the wrong person for the job?
It's a pretty common mistake.
As humans, we gravitate toward people we connect with, and sometimes that means candidates who are most like us in background, gender or race. The problem with this (besides unconscious bias) is that the people we connect with the best, may not always be the most qualified for the job.
Blind hiring prevents gut feelings from clouding your judgement.
In companies where employees often work as a team, it's critical to hire people who are not only the right fit for the job, but also the right fit for the company's culture.
When we make hiring a blind process, we could risk missing that all-too-important cultural fit piece of the puzzle.
If every single bit of personal information is removed from screening, blind hiring can become a very robotic process. When that happens, it may not accurately reflect the creativity and personality of an individual, or how they will contribute to the harmony of the team.
There's more to a person than just a simple skill set or what they look like on paper.
An exhaustive blind hiring process can add additional steps and hoops for job candidates to jump through. The longer you take to interview and screen a potential job candidate, the more you risk alienating them or losing their interest.
And some job candidates may balk at completing a project as part of the interview process, viewing it as working for free. To avoid the hassle, they may opt to go with a company that's less trouble.
Taking time to remove personal information and assess personalities and skills can also lengthen the hiring process and, in turn, drive up costs.
Considering that it costs companies on average upwards of $4,000 to hire a new employee, according to the Society for Human Resource Management, that's an important fact to keep in mind.
The main pitfall of blind hiring is that many organizations may view it as the solution to their diversity problems when actually, it's just one piece of the puzzle.
Blind hiring doesn't fix an organizational culture that's unwelcoming to employees from diverse backgrounds.
If you sense that achieving diversity is a problem for your organization, it's probably time to take a deeper look at the inclusion piece.
Are people of diverse backgrounds, races and genders well represented in leadership positions throughout the company? Are they involved in key decision-making? Taking a cultural audit of your company may help shine more light on problem areas and how you can improve.
Just like anything in business, there's opportunity for blind hiring to go off the rails if approached haphazardly.
But if you put together a well-thought-out program, it can possibly help your organization achieve greater diversity, or open your eyes to promising job candidates who might have slipped through the cracks before.
Keep in mind, it's still important to follow up blind screening with a thorough interview process. Otherwise, you may not get a clear picture of a candidate's emotional intelligence (EQ), creativity and personality – or be able to assess how well they work with others.
Cultural fit can't be overlooked, particularly in positions heavy on teamwork.

About 60 percent of men in fraternities have admitted to visiting 'slut pages.' Tero Vesalainen/iStock via Getty Images
Jocks and frat boys more likely than other men in college to visit 'slut pages' and post nude images without consent

Over half of men in college fraternities or who play school sports say they have visited a secret webpage or social media account set up to post or view pornographic images of other students without their consent, according to a survey I recently conducted with several colleagues.
We conducted the survey on the campus of a large Midwestern university with 1,867 participants.
Specifically, we found that 58% of men in fraternities and 53% of male college athletes admitted to having visited one of these sites – commonly known as "slut pages" – at least once, while 15% to 20% of these men said they post nude images without consent. That compares with 39% of all other men who said they visited one of these sites and 3.5% who acknowledged posting content.
Women who played team sports were the least likely of all groups to visit one of these pages – just 13% had, compared to nonathlete women, of which 33% had visited a slut page. This suggests that gender plays a central role in the phenomenon, at least when it comes to student athletes.
Journalist and author Nancy Jo Sales became one of the first to document these websites after she discovered them while interviewing high school students for her book, "American Girls: Social Media and the Secret Life of Teenagers." She later followed up with documentation of these pages in the military, suggesting that they may be common among adult groups as well.
Posting nude pictures of someone without their consent – which is a crime in some states – is a form of image-based sexual abuse that is used to shame, hurt or humiliate.
This practice is pervasive. In late 2020, dozens of women and children came forward and said that videos of them being raped or sexually coerced were posted to the pornography site PornHub. Consequently, Mastercard and Visa blocked their credit cards from being used to purchase content from the site, forcing PornHub to remove millions of videos.
Although "slut pages" are typically private, they can still cause the same kind of distress to people as regular "revenge pornography," in which people post or share pornographic videos of sex partners to cause them harm.
A growing number of laws prohibit the posting of nude images without consent. Some states consider it to be a misdemeanor, with average jail time of one year and fines averaging US$5,000. However, states such as Georgia and Oregon often consider revenge porn posting with other evidence of malice as a felony, with up to five years in jail and $125,000 in fines.
What still isn't known
Victims of slut pages in high school and the military have reported feelings of anxiety, fear and contemplation of suicide once they find out that their image has been posted on one of these websites. However, more light also needs to be shone on why men create these pages in the first place.
My colleagues and I are currently examining the motivations for visiting "slut pages" based on a survey of U.S. and Australian young adults and hope to have that work published soon. We are also researching sexual misconduct policies in high schools to determine how schools both prevent and respond to image-based sexual abuse and other forms of sexual harassment.

Broad comparisons of international relations across time—of the prospects for peace and of the possibilities for a new ethics for a connected world—typically focus on two dimensions: economic globalization and integration on the one hand, and the character of major interstate relations on the other. One of the most striking features of the pre-1914 world was precisely the coincidence of intensified globalization with a dramatic deterioration in major power relations, the downfall of concert-style approaches to international order, and the descent into total war and ideological confrontation—what T. S. Eliot termed "the panorama of futility and anarchy which is contemporary history." Today's optimists stress the degree to which globalization appears much more firmly institutionalized than it was a hundred years ago, the rather striking success of global economic governance in responding to the financial crisis of 2007–2008 (compared to, say, the Great Depression), and the longer-term trend within international society to move away from major-power war. Pessimists are less sure. They worry that we have had to re-learn just how unstable global capitalism can be, both in terms of the wrenching societal changes produced by economic success and of the political strains produced by slowdown and recession. And they point to the abiding or resurgent power of nationalism in all of the core countries in the system, the return of balance-of-power thinking (above all in Asia), and the renewed salience of major power politics.

2 Mackinder stressed the closing of the frontier and the notion of the international system as "a closed political space. . . . Every explosion of social forces, instead of being dissipated in a surrounding circuit of unknown space and barbarian chaos, will be sharply re-echoed from the far side of the globe, and weak elements in the political and economic organism of the world will be shattered in consequence."

18 Traditions always seem clearer and more coherent when looking back. Much has been done to focus attention on gaps and silences, as in the role of empire and race within the liberal tradition. See Vucetic, Srdjan, The Anglosphere: A Genealogy of a Racialized Identity in International Relations (Stanford, Calif.: Stanford University Press, 2011).

25 Here there is much to be said for the Kantian view that sees the sustained consolidation of democracy within the particular civic community as being linked to, if not dependent on, its willingness to respect the judgments of other nations and the effective institutionalization of universal principles at the level of international and cosmopolitan right. As long as international anarchy continues, the consolidation of full and sustained political liberty domestically, even in developed, prosperous liberal states, remains under threat—including, of course, from the temptation to violate human rights in the name of national security. This link was well understood by the Founding Fathers but forgotten or displaced by the temptations of empire and by moral self-righteousness. As Golove and Hulsebosh note in relation to Madison, "Reflecting the common sense epistemology characteristic of so much contemporary constitutionalist thought, [Madison] insisted that no nation was so enlightened that it could ignore the impartial judgements of other states and still expect to govern itself wisely and effectively." Golove, David and Hulsebosch, Daniel, "A Civilized Nation: The Early American Consititution, the Law of Nations, and the Pursuit of International Recognition," NYU Law Review 85, no. 4 (2010), p. 987.
26 This form of "middle ground ethics" has long characterized English School writing—and underpinned many pluralist critiques of Kant. See, for example, Cochran, Molly, "Charting the Ethics of the English School: What 'Good' is there in a Middle-Ground Ethics?" International Studies Quarterly 53, no. 1 (2009), pp. 203–225; and Hurrell, Andrew, On Global Order (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2007).

If all you knew about Beyoncé came from her Instagram, you would think that all was rosy in the Knowles-Carter household. Bey's Instagram is a magical land of perfect skin, concert highlights, and adorable photos of Blue Ivy. While Beyoncé would not do anything as gratifying as actually address the rumors floating around about her and Jay Z's potential split, all we can do is try to glean as much info as we can from her beautiful and cryptic posts.
Most recently, she posted a picture in a jersey with "Carter" on the back, captioned only with a kiss emoji. It's a number 4 jersey, a number that seems significant, as it was the name of her 2011 album. Now, imagine how much everyone would be freaking out if it said "Knowles" instead. The implication is pretty obvious; she's on Jay Z's team and she's sticking with her family. Of course, there's also the not-so-hidden message that's in all of Beyoncé's photos, which is "I'm hot AF and everyone wants me." Why wouldn't anyone want her on their team. Beyoncé seems to be trying to dispel rumors with her posts, having also recently shared one of Jay Z and Blue Ivy. This is as pointed at Beyoncé's Instagram gets, so Bey and Jay fans should be relieved that she's suggesting that her marriage is intact.

Ryunosuke Kamiki
Ryunosuke Kamiki is a Japanese actor. He entered the industry in 1995 when he was only 2 years old. He made his drama debut in "Good News", which gained him immense popularity through his first full-time role as Naoya, playing the son of SMAP's Masahiro Nakai. In 2001, he was discovered by Hayao Miyazaki, and ended up voicing Bao in the animated film "Spirited Away" by Studio Ghibli, the highest-grossing Japanese film in Japan. From 1999 to 2002 he had appeared in over a dozen projects, earning him the title of a child prodigy. He was awarded his first award for "Backdrop del mio Papá" when he was only 11. From 2004 to 2020, he has won awards every one or two alternative years. Today, Ryu remains an iconic and beloved actor in the Japanese industry. He has the reputation of a reliable lead actor who goes into character as soon as the cameras start rolling. For his successful transition from a child actor to a main lead combined with his modest personality, has made him a role model for many. When choosing works, he likes to experiment with roles or plots. He does not mind too much about popularity or being the main lead as long as he likes his role. Rather than "aiming for a big goal ahead", he is the type to do the job in front of him wholeheartedly. He has appeared in numerous award-winning projects. In 2011, he won his first international award for playing the main lead in the Amade Prize–winning "Threads of Our Hearts". To date, he has been an integral part of all the top 4 highest-grossing Japanese movies in Japan. His works continue to break records as his movie "your name." became the highest-grossing Japanese movie of all time internationally. Ryu, alongside acting and voice acting, has dabbled in multiple fields. For variety shows he often does many documentaries. He even interviewed Will Smith for the magazine TV program 'ZIP!'. In 2015, he released his first book "Master's Café". Ryu challenged his first stage play with "Beautiful: The Woman Who Met with God", directed and written by Suzuki Matsuo, in 2019. The following year, he debuted in multiple fields such as a radio DJ for 'All Night Nippon 0' (ANN0) on 11th October 2020, which airs 3 am at nights between Saturday and Sunday. His directorial debut was with the music video for "I Treasure You" for SUPER HANDSOME COLLECTION "JUMP↑". He opened his own YouTube channel. He was also the official photographer for Takeru Satoh's 2021 calendar. In 2020, Ryu was awarded at the Elan d'or Award Ceremony, one of the most prestigious awards in Japan for completing 25 years in the industry. To thank his fans, he started the 25th Anniversary Celebration Project.

(Kang Ding Love Song) for SATB chorus, a cappella
Kāng Dìng Qíng Gē (Kang Ding Love Song), also known as Pǎo Mǎ Liū Liū De Shān Shàng (On the Running Horse Mountain), is a Han folk song from the Sichuan Province. The song is believed to be created by herders and farmers from the Yala channel in the north of Kang Ding City. During the 1940's, it became popular to sing the song for the Pan Hua Ye (the night before marriage). During the Pan Hua Ye, the singers would change the last names of Li and Zhang to their last names. This would make the song unique to them. In 1989, during the Voyager II space launch, NASA selected Kāng Dìng Qíng Gē as one of the ten most recognized folk songs from around the world. In the late 1990s, the song was also selected as one of the ten most influential international folk songs by the United Nations' Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization. This choral arrangement uses swift, accented, and syncopated rhythms while also employing an abundance of parallel fourths and fifths. The vocal ranges are conservative and the choral parts are repetitious making this an easily accessible song. Enjoy singing this as a set with Tián Mì Mì and Ālĭ Shān Zhī Gē.
Chinese Mandarin Language
The Chinese learn Mandarin through a phonetic alphabet system called Pinyin. Pinyin is the transliteration of the Mandarin characters. Pinyin also includes diacritic markings that indicate the various tones (the rise and fall of the voice) which are so prevalent in Chinese speech. These markings have been included in the translation and pronunciation page. However, they are not included in the music score because the speaking tones will be absolved by the natural rise and fall of the singing voice. An IPA spelling of each word has been given along with an IPA guide for each sound. This should help with pronunciation of the text, but the equivalent sounds are only approximate. It is highly recommended to consult with a native speaker.
I am greatly indebted to my West Nottingham Academy students, Jia Kang Xie and, Jiyu Huang for their assistance with the text and melody. We hope your choir will enjoy singing this beautiful Chinese love song.
