Hi,my friends.

The next country is Finland.

Finland, officially the Republic of Finland, is a Nordic country situated in the Fennoscandian region of northern Europe. It borders Sweden on the west, Russia on the east, and Norway on the north, while Estonia lies to its south across the Gulf of Finland. The capital city is Helsinki.

Around 5.3 million people reside in Finland, with the majority concentrated in the southern part of the country. It is the eighth largest country in Europe in terms of area and the most sparsely populated country in the European Union. The native language for most of the population is Finnish, a member of the Finno-Ugric language family most closely related to Estonian, and is one of only four official EU languages not of Indo-European origin. The other official language of Finland, Swedish, is the mother tongue of 5.5 percent of the population. Finland is a democratic, parliamentary republic with a mostly Helsinki-based central government and local governments in 348 municipalities. A total of a million residents live in Greater Helsinki area (including Helsinki, Espoo and Vantaa) and a third of the country’s GDP is produced there. Other major cities include Tampere, Turku, Oulu, Jyväskylä, Kuopio and Lahti.

Finland was historically a part of Sweden and from 1809 an autonomous Grand Duchy within the Russian Empire. Finland’s declaration of independence from Russia in 1917 was followed by a civil war, wars against the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany, and a period of official neutrality during the Cold War. Finland joined the United Nations in 1955, the OECD in 1969, and the European Union in 1995 and participates in the Eurozone. Finland has been ranked the second most stable country in the world, in a survey based on social, economic, political, and military indicators.

Finland has good results in many international comparisons of national performance such as the share of high-technology manufacturing, public education, health care, the rate of gross domestic product growth, and the protection of civil liberties.

Guinea – Tanda Bridge #1

The Tanda people are saying that their religion does not work—they have seen the teachings from “that book, the Bible” and it does work. In the Muslim country of Guinea the Tanda people are asking the missionaries to teach them God’s word.

The Republic of Guinea, on the west coast of Africa is bordered by Senegal, Ivory Coast, Liberia and on the west by the Atlantic Ocean. The population is approximately 7.5 million; the official language is French with each ethnic group having its own language. 85% of the population is Muslim, 8% Christian and 7% with indigenous beliefs.

During the African rainy season, the missionaries working with the Tanda people faced a tremendous challenge. They had virtually no access in or out of their village for four to five months because the nearby Tomboya River which they had to cross would rise from one foot in the dry season to almost twelve feet in the wet season. This meant there was no access to emergency medical care for the missionaries, their children, or the national people.They were helpless in the event of a national emergency requiring evacuation. Supplies had to be brought in for several months at a time, and contact with the other missionary families on the field was limited during the rainy season. During this period starvation would be much a reality for the local people as they were unable to get to the market to buy and sell their produce.

Missionaries from New Tribes Mission contacted FRIENDS in Action to ask for their assistance in the building of a bridge. This type of project and construction would be the “first” for FRIENDS. From the very beginning of this project God was miraculously at work—in supplying a donated Bailey bridge, the sandblasting and painting of it and the skilled labour to do the construction.

Throughout this predominantly Muslin country of Guinea people heard about this project on the radio. It was widely publicized that it was Christians that were to build this bridge and it soon became known as the “Jesus Bridge”.

A lot of the Tanda people believed that a bridge could not be built across the river since it belonged to one of their very strong demons. In fact, knowing the project was going to take place some were beginning to fear, since in their belief the only way the demon would accept a bridge there, would be by taking human lives. That had been causing some stir since some were saying it was possible because God is more powerful than the demon. But many were still fearful.

This was just another opportunity for God to destroy the stronghold of Satan in the lives of the Tanda people and to draw them to the freedom that is found in the message of Christ.

This is the VOA Special English Development Report, from http://voaspecialenglish.com

The lack of clean drinking water is a major problem worldwide. The World Health Organization says more than one billion people live in areas where renewable water resources are not available. The problem is especially serious in Asia and the Pacific.
A United Nations report says water availability in that area is the second lowest in the world, after Africa.
Nearly seven hundred thousand people in Asia and the Pacific lack safe drinking water. The U.N. report notes that the world’s poorest countries are also the ones that use the most water for agriculture. Agriculture uses about eighty percent of the water in the Asia-Pacific area. There has also been an increase in water used for industry. China and India more than tripled their industrial water use between nineteen ninety-two and two thousand two.
The lack of clean drinking water around the world forces millions of people to drink unsafe water.
This leads to an increase in diseases like diarrhea, the second leading cause of death in children under five. Floods, droughts, pollution and
climate change have created
even more problems.
The Millennium Development Goals
for two thousand fifteen call for a
fifty percent decrease in the number
of people without safe drinking water
and basic sanitation.
Scientists, governments and aid organizations around the world are increasing their efforts to meet these goals. Still, the U.N. says there is much work to be done. During its yearly World Water Day observance in March it called on the international community to work together to solve the water crisis. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are doing just that.
The American and South Korean researchers are investigating a new technology for turning sea water into drinking water. The new technology is called ion concentration polarization. The process uses electricity to
help separate electrically charged
salt particles from water to
make it drinkable.
The researchers tested their desalination process on a computer chip the size of a postage stamp.
The chip removed ninety-nine percent of the salt and other harmful substances from water samples.
So far the method purifies only small amounts of water. But the researchers say it may someday be available as a personal water purification product.
And that’s the VOA Special English Development Report.

国情备忘录 One of the more insightful documentary series that came out of CCTV, which seems to produce far better Chinese language program than English ones in CCTV-9. The series discuss issues in China such as population, agriculture, environment etc in 9 episodes. Its I made the subtitle myself using Media Subtitler, run into timing trouble in the embedding process and pretty much give up after repeated failure. If any view can tell me to how to solve this problem, please PM me. Once I get this problem sorted out, I’ll upload rest of the series.

The copyright of this video belongs to CCTV, I posted this video so that people who does not speak Chinese would have a chance to enjoy this wonderful, well made program. And if you can speak Chinese, then please watch it at CCTV’s webite at bugu.cntv.cn/documentary/politic s/guoqingbeiwanglu/videopage/index.shtml . It has much better video quality.

Since the Hispanics are projected to become the next MAJORITY POPULATION in the United States and majorities seem to choose their own in ELECTIONS, are you excited to wake up to learn a language that may well become our next Official Language and the language used for POLITICAL DEBATES during elections ???

*** WE CAME TO THEM FIRST, THEY DIDN’T COME TO US. Remember, Hispanics were here before we invaded them, so who should adapt to whom ???

Nope. It’ll never happen.

aaah, I can tell you one thing, the religion is Islam.
Check out these links.

In Israel the language barrier that exists between Arabs and Jews is seen as one of the primary obstacles to coexistence.

Simply put, some Arabs who live in Israel don’t speak Hebrew and many Jews don’t understand Arabic.

Now, a new program has been launched in which Jewish schoolchildren are being instructed in Arabic.

This program is called Language as a Cultural Bridge and it’s the brainchild of the Abraham Fund.

The number of the Israeli schools applying initiative has nearly doubled since last year.

Unlike the existing Arabic curriculum, this program places emphasis on spoken Arabic and promotes a better understanding of Arab culture by bringing it directly into Jewish classrooms.

Dadi Komem, Abraham Fund:

2:20- 2:43
“The main goal of this program is not just to teach Arabic as a language. A language is a bridge to a culture and culture is part of the language. What we’re trying to do is make a real change in the positions and opinions of the children. We try to reduce fears and reduce stereotypes.”

But where stereotypes run deep, this is no easy task.

Maor:

If a terrorist gets hold of me, I can talk to him in Arabic and maybe he’ll release me.

Saida ‘Subhi, Arabic Teacher:

3:20 Everything in the beginning is difficult. At the beginning they said, ‘what do we need this for? It’s not important?’ but when I explained the language to them, they love it. They love the language a lot, because they love me (laughs).

Elad:

I might have Arab friends and I’ll want to talk with them if they don’t speak Hebrew.

Topaz:

If I want to talk with someone, let’s say at work, it will help me with the working relations. — Do you have Arab friends? — I’ve had three Arab friends since first grade.

Elad:

It’s quite an interesting language. They have interesting music. It’s fun to learn.

The program’s creators are working on expanding the program to more schools and reaching wider age groups.

They hope it will promote more tolerance towards Israel’s Arab minority, which constitutes a fifth of the country’s population.
