Muslim mason immortalized at French cathedral

A Muslim stonemason who spent nearly four decades helping to restore a Roman Catholic cathedral in France has been immortalized as a winged gargoyle peering out from its facade — with the inscription "God is great" written in French and Arabic.
It was conceived as a symbol of inter-religious friendship that reflects the city of Lyon's links to its large Muslim population. But a widely publicized outcry from a small extreme-right group has forced the Archdiocese of Lyon into damage control.
"This has nothing to do with religion. It's a sculptor who wants to pay homage to a construction site chief," said the Rev. Michel Cacaud, rector of the cathedral. "That's all."
In France, where Islam is the country's second religion, the government has worked to integrate Muslims into French culture, while at the same time confronting cases of Islamophobia, from the desecration of Muslim graves to attacks on mosques.
Ahmed Benzizine, who was born in Algeria, a former French colony, sees the gargoyle in his image as "a message of peace and tolerance."
"When I started to work in churches ... exactly 37 years ago, it was considered a sin that a Muslim enter a place of worship other than a mosque," he said.
He has worked off and on since 1973 at St. Jean Cathedral, which dominates the old city of Lyon and has been honored as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Benzizine is tickled to see his likeness on the facade of the cathedral, which dates to the 12th to 14th centuries and combines both Gothic and Roman architecture.
"It looks like me except for the ears," the 59-year-old told The Associated Press. "They're pointed like the devil. But the sculptor told me that angels have pointed ears, too."
He likes the idea that he'll still be around in stone when his friends are long gone.
"I tell my buddies ... I'm present in this stone so I can tell them if the neighborhood has changed," he said, laughing.
For Emmanuel Fourchet, the sculptor who immortalized Benzizine, "it was an occasion to pay tribute."
"I've known him for more than 20 years. He was already working in churches when I wasn't even a stonemason apprentice. This is an acknowledgment," he said.
Gargoyles, usually grotesque creatures with open mouths originally used as water spouts, dot the facades of cathedrals in France and elsewhere. The sculptures, often part animal, were popular in Medieval times and may also have been used to scare off evil, experts say.
Benzizine is not the first artisan to find his likeness on a cathedral, in his case with wings and clawed feet.
"It's a long tradition, to represent the artisans who worked on a site ... either for humor, derision or to pay them homage," Cacaud said.
The Benzizine gargoyle had been in place for about six months without drawing much notice until the extreme-right Identity Youth of Lyon began a campaign denouncing the likeness of a Muslim on a Catholic institution, and the inscription "God is great" in French and Arabic — "Dieu est grand, Allahu akbar."
"Just the fact that it's written in Arabic, it shocked a minority" because it evokes Islam, Benzizine said.
But, he added: "God is great. It's not talking about Muhammed," the Muslim prophet and founder of the Islamic faith. He noted that he works on all historic monuments, whether they are cathedrals, mosques or synagogues.
Identity Youth of Lyon said on its website that the "clearly symbolic" inscription is "the manifestation of a conquering Islam."
"How many 'Ave Marias' are inscribed on how many mosques?" it asked.
The Archdiocese of Lyon has been quick to point out that the extremist group is alone in criticizing the gargoyle. No parishioners have complained, said Cacaud.
For the archdiocese, the gargoyle symbolizes two traditions: honoring artisans in a cathedral's stone work and embodying the Christian-Islamic dialogue that is part of Lyon's recent religious history.
In France's third-largest city, an archdiocese official is devoted to relations with Islam. In 2007, Cardinal Philippe Barbarin, the archbishop of Lyon, and a local Muslim leader, Azzedine Gaci, led a pilgrimage to Tibhirine, an Algerian village where seven Trappist monks were executed in 1996 by radical Islamic insurgents.
"There is no religion that doesn't say 'God is great,' (be it) Christian, Jewish, Muslim," said Cacaud.
The gargoyle, he said, was merely a way to honor a faithful worker and "to say simply and solely 'thank you.'"

Critics say Mexico needs to learn from Colombia

With a blunt remark that grated on Mexicans, Washington's top diplomat was merely echoing a growing concern about the alarming violence and instability being caused by Mexico's war on drug cartels.

Mexican officials publicly disputed on Thursday the declaration by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton the previous day that Mexico is "looking more and more like Colombia looked 20 years ago."

Clinton's assessment is nevertheless shared by the crime-fighters who dismantled Colombia's killer cartels and have been offering Mexican officials, police and prosecutors advice and training for more than two years.

Critics say Mexican President Felipe Calderon's government has been too slow to heed that advice.

Colombia's police director, Gen. Oscar Naranjo, and others who fended off a criminal takeover in the Andean nation believe Mexico is on the cusp of a battle royale in which politicians, police and judges will increasingly be targeted and terror used against civilians — just as Pablo Escobar and his Medellin cocaine cartel did in their country.

"They are headed there," Naranjo said in a recent interview.

Organized crime analyst Edgardo Buscaglia in Mexico says the escalation of cartel violence in this country mirrors Colombia's experience because it is "directly related to the weakness of the state." It differs, he says, in that it arises mostly as rival gangs fight to put their own people in key jobs at the provincial and local level — such as mayor, prison warden, police chief.

The cartel assault on Colombia's national government was initially mounted by Escobar himself — atop a single organized crime group — when then-Justice Minister Rodrigo Lara outed him as a narco.

Before police gunned him down in 1993, Escobar and his henchmen waged a decade-long reign of terror. They killed hundreds of police, judges, journalists and politicians, starting with Lara.

The successor Cali cartel kept up Escobar's battle against extradition of traffickers to face U.S. charges — but less violently, choosing instead to buy off much of Colombia's Congress.

Naranjo was chief of police intelligence in the 1990s when Washington lavished aid on his boss, Gen. Rosso Jose Serrano, as he purged and professionalized the force. With close cooperation from Washington — and the passage of extradition, money-laundering and asset forfeiture laws, Colombia dismantled its major cartels.

Traffickers compartmentalized their business to better shield themselves. They handed over U.S. distribution networks to Mexican cartels, and Colombia's illegal armed groups — leftist rebels and far-right paramilitaries — got deeply involved in cocaine production.

This year, Naranjo was able to scratch off the last name from a list of the country's top 28 fugitive drug traffickers that he drew up in May 2004. All had been been captured.

Among suggestions Naranjo and a brain trust of Colombian crime-fighters and allies have offered to the Calderon government:

Create an elite, uncorruptible counterdrug unit in the national police, as Colombia did, and protect delicate narcotics investigations by compartmentalizing information.

Attack money-laundering and political corruption with legislation that makes it easier to track drug money, freeze narco assets and seize traffickers' property.

Offer better protection to news organizations to encourage more robust and independent reporting on traffickers.

Calderon hasn't moved fast enough to implement such initiatives, many analysts say.

A special investigative unit trained by Colombians and other foreign experts was only recently deployed to the violent border city of Ciudad Juarez — that city's first real investigative police. And last month, the government announced the firing of 3,200 federal police this year for failing tests designed to root out corruption.

A raft of obstacles unique to Mexico explain the slow pace.

Mexico has more than 1,600 separate state and local police agencies, while all policing in Colombia is handled by its national force.

"It's an enormous disadvantage," Calderon said in a radio interview last month, noting Mexico has about 33,000 federal police officers compared to 430,000 state and local cops.

Jorge Castaneda, a former foreign minister, is among Mexicans advocating the creation of a single national force. Calderon has instead proposed eliminating all municipal forces and replacing them with a single state force in each of Mexico's 31 states and federal capital district.

Then there is Calderon's decision to put the military in charge of his war against the cartels, which has led to killings of noncombatants and other abuses. Human rights groups aren't the only critics of such a strategy.

"The military is trained to kill people. The military isn't trained to do criminal investigations. The military shoots first and asks questions later," said Thomas Cash, a former top U.S. drug agent for the region.

Cash was also hard on Calderon for not doing enough about Mexico's rampant money laundering.

"They have been no significant laws that even define money laundering," he said, as well as a weak and splintered judicial system where provincial judges barely make a living wage.

Calderon, who has just two years left in office and is barred by law from running for re-election, didn't make good on a promise to introduce money-laundering legislation until last month.

Mexican officials have long argued that their country is nowhere near as violent as Colombia, where leftist insurgents have been battling the state for nearly a half century. Mexico's murder rate last year was 14 per 100,000 — well below Colombia's rate of 39 per 100,000.

Mexican officials answered Clinton sharply.

Alejandro Poire, the chief security spokesman, said Calderon's government is attacking the problem before it reaches the magnitude it did in Colombia.

"We think the most important (difference) is that we are acting in time," Poire said.

Time may be running out.

Ciudad Juarez has become one of the world's deadliest cities, with more than 4,000 people killed there in last two years. And while Mexico's cartels have not staged anything approaching the scale of the Medellin cartel's 1989 downing of a domestic airliner, which killed 110 people, they are increasingly experimenting with terror.

In July, the Juarez cartel staged the first successful car-bombing in Mexico, killing three people.

More than 2,000 Mexican police and nearly 200 soldiers have been killed since Calderon took office in late 2006. The vast majority of 28,000 drug war victims have died in battles between drug gangs, but mayors and police chiefs have been assassinated and ambushes staged against security officials — and their families. Three mayors in northeastern Mexico have been killed in the past month alone.

Mexico has far surpassed Colombia as the most dangerous country in the Americas for journalists. Twenty-two have been killed since Calderon took office, according to the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists. In Colombia, one journalist was killed last year and none in 2008.

Mexico's news media have, with a few exceptions, balked at taking on the cartels. Many regional newspapers and broadcasters don't even cover the drug war. And CPJ director Joel Simon says cartels in some Mexican cities are paying off journalists.

That contrasts with Colombia, where journalists in the Medellin cartel's heyday boldly took on the narcos, often serving as a proxy for a justice system crippled by cartel attacks.

To protect reporters from assassination, Colombia's news media would often share and publish the same information simultaneously and without bylines.

In Mexico, that's not happening.

Australian Labor Party wins enough support to rule

Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard barely retained power when the last two independent legislators made kingmakers by deadlocked elections ended a tense 17-day standoff and agreed to join her government. Her next challenge? Keeping the unlikely bedfellows of her coalition together.

Gillard managed Tuesday to persuade sufficient independent lawmakers to support her center-left Labor Party to form the first minority government in the House of Representatives in 67 years.

Australia's first female prime minister promised the government will be stable over the next three years, although the defection of a single lawmaker would bring down her administration. While Labor expels lawmakers for failing to vote along party lines, Gillard must get three disparate independent lawmakers plus one from the Greens party to support her legislative agenda.

That agenda includes imposing a new 30 percent tax on iron ore and coal miners' profits, which are burgeoning with the voracious demand for raw materials from Chinese and Indian manufacturers, and making Australia's biggest polluters pay for carbon gas emissions.

Her newfound supporters have their own agendas. The Greens want gays to be allowed to marry and Australian troops withdrawn from Afghanistan while independent Andrew Wilkie wants federal action to protect problem gamblers from poker machines.

Gillard has rejected legal recognition of gay marriage, but has agreed to allow a parliamentary debate on the future of Australia's deployment of 1,550 troops in Afghanistan. She has agreed to take legal advice on what federal powers the government has over the availability of poker machines, which are regulated by state legislation.

"No one should underestimate the problems Julia Gillard's got," said Australian National University political scientist Norman Abjorensen.

"She's got to satisfy people on the left and right of Labor and it's a very uneasy coalition of interests to keep in check on every available issue," Abjorensen added.

Among foreign government leaders to congratulate Gillard on forming a government were British Prime Minister David Cameron and New Zealand Prime Minister John Key.

The British conservative leader and Gillard spoke by phone Tuesday, and both stressed their commitment to the Afghanistan mission, Cameron's spokesman Steve Field told reporters.

Key, the conservative leader of Australia's neighbor New Zealand, said he had already established a strong relationship with Gillard since she came to power in an internal Labor Party coup less than three months ago and he looked forward to continuing to work with her.

The government will be unstable by the standards of modern Australia, where parties have governed with strictly disciplined majorities since 1943.

But some analysts believe that Gillard's minority government would be more stable than one created by opposition leader Tony Abbott's conservative coalition, which enlisted only 74 of the 76 seats it needed in the 150-seat House of Representatives.

Nick Economou, a Monash University political scientist, said Abbott, who rules out ever making polluters pay for their carbon emissions, could not deal with the Greens, who support charging polluters.

The Greens won 12 of the 76 seats in the Senate, where neither Gillard nor Abbott command a majority.

"If Tony had become prime minister, he would have quickly run into serious trouble with the Senate," which would have resulted in an early election, Economou said.

In return for the Greens' support, Gillard has agreed to a range of their demands, including establishing an expert committee to investigate how Australia could introduce a price for carbon gas pollution.

Gillard has also agreed to give up some of a prime minister's traditional tactical advantages in return for the independents' support. While prime ministers have the freedom to call elections at times that suit their political interests, Gillard has agreed to confer with allies before setting an election date.

She has also agreed to change rules of parliamentary procedures to give individual lawmakers a greater voice.

The last two independents to agree to support Gillard's government, Tony Windsor and Rob Oakeshott, are former members of the conservative Nationals party, which is part of Abbott's coalition.

Gillard rewarded the two rural-based lawmakers by promising 10 billion Australian dollars ($9 billion) in new investment for rural schools and hospitals.

She has also offered Oakeshott a Cabinet post, which he had yet to accept.

Oakeshott said on Tuesday that governing with the support of four lawmakers from outside Labor would be "ugly, but it's going to be beautiful in its ugliness."

Gillard said her deal to deliver a government demonstrated that the Australian political system worked.

"This process, born of parliamentary deadlock, has resulted in more openness, transparency and reform in how we conduct our parliament and the business of government than at any other time on modern Australian politics," Gillard told reporters.

"Can I say we live in a lively and a resilient democracy and it works," she added.

The lawmakers from outside Labor have agreed to oppose any no-confidence motion in the prime minister which would bring down her government.

Abbott said it was up to the government's performance whether it survived the full three-year term or was brought down by such a motion.

"If the government is seriously incompetent, it should be gone as quickly as possible," Abbott told reporters.

Remember your name

American educators and speech eloquence artists Dale Carnegie once said: "A person's name is his most familiar with the sweetest, most wonderful sound, most evident in the communication, the simplest and most important , the best way to get a good impression is to remember people's names. " 
Name of a person's symbol.Cartier watches Everyone has their own name. Everyone wants to be respect for others. So, remember people's names, in due course to easily call out the names of others, will feel respected each other, let each other feel good, would add to their good opinion, shortening the distance between each other, each of harmony relationships. 
Work and life, there have been many experiences, these experiences taught me that people remember and shouted the name is very important. 
Each year, more than classes taught in three to four classes, or even five classes, as a classroom teacher, faced with several hundred students, to remember their name really is not an easy task. So, occasionally, remember, not shouting the names of some students, the students are understanding, but their own. Will also forgive myself: so many, which remember! However, as can easily open mouth shouting the names of the students were shouting the names of the students, always cheerful. 
That year, there are superiors and peers outside the school to the school for lectures, I am "lucky" to be determined to be coached by.
Which the content of lessons about what has not think of coming. Just remember, when the teaching interaction, the face of the outpouring of students, standing in the middle seat of my students, so kind to point to a student, shouted their names correctly, let them out of their own ideas.
Tag Heuer watchesThis would also have nothing extra, of course, did not show the horse.
Later in the observation and evaluation, now do not remember what their colleagues said, while a leader to say, but memorable. He laments that really something to remember so many students do not see a seating plan, the students shouted the names of mouth can not easy not easy. Shouted the students the teacher can accurately name the students is also a respected and encouraged.
Mental note, and in future work, students also pay attention to your heart to remember the name.
That day, a certain class to the invigilator (who a year ago, the lessons taught in this class).
Paper group made anymore, a girl is still doing something, not the desktop itself several papers sent to the back seat of the students, and students back waited a little anxiously.
I saw and went Nvhai before, smiled and said to her: "Qin Mei, but also Shengelanyao it?" She looked back to me a shy laugh, pass down the paper. Behind the two girls, very unexpected and very envious to say: "ah, Qin Mei, teachers know your name!" I am that the two girls laughed, and heart want to say I know you guys name it. However, I did not say it, because it is in the exam, do not want to disrupt the classroom quiet. 
On that occasion, in the 7 class self-study course, then they just took a course more than two months.
cheap watchesAs a student in the classroom with inappropriate behavior, I softly called his name, smiled, motioned him quiet. A boy next to gloat like this: "good side of their life, may you know the name of a teacher, see what you will 'make trouble array' blanket feed." (Well, the teacher knows your name, see you dare naughty.)
I smiled, then softly chanting the names of those who gloat: "Chen Meng, you say?"
He Stick your tongue: "ah? Teacher, you know, I am Chen Meng?"
"Of course!"
"What about me? My name is what?" "Me?" "Sir, me?" "The teacher certainly not yell my name." Side has a lot of male students raise their hands and a little naughty satisfactory end, it seems intends to make life difficult for what I do.
...... I shouted their names one by one, asked: "is not it? Teacher did not remember correctly, right?"
"Very true! Teacher, very kind of you, so give me face, thank you!" I call the name that was more than a dozen students, such as being praised as jovial.
Or smiled, waved his hand, signaled for silence, quiet back room, the students are busy their homework.
Often, on the road, on the campus, walking casually across the students shouted the names of the students always see the face of joy, themselves, have also obtained full of pleasure. 
Yesterday, even before school hours, I had entered the classroom.
In the classroom last,wholesale watches came the voice call upon me to name only call names, surnames province. I looked, was a male.
I am in front of the room, sweet answer cheerfully out: "hey!"
Students laughed. Male students who also criticized the "rude!"
"This student health and happiness so kind, who can not help to answer ah heard." I do not care about the students directly call my name, do not feel that his shouting is not polite, but that, perhaps, the students feel and I do not barriers, and I did not fear being that they are so easy to call my name. So, I'm happy. 
As a teacher, the students remember the name, of course, is conducive to teaching harmony, smooth. In social interaction, and remember people's names, is also very important. Help shorten the distance between each other, harmonious relationship between them.   
Last month, joined a small party.
20 graduated more than 20 years old students, from youth or their prime, to the present have passed middle age, middle-aged men and women. Some students have never seen over 20 years, there has never been linked.  
Just meet, they ask: "Tell me, old school does not yet recognize? Remember the old school name?"
Of the hand, Caring for the name, cordial greetings.
"Nice. Remember.ed hardy Thank you!" Middle-aged, still remember many years later for the others their names and especially excited.
Some students, others shouted loudly and affectionately his name, but he did not remember which is which, rather looked very embarrassed, "Forsaken" mean, there are trace of disappointment and regret.
Experience again and again, again and again experience, intentions to remember someone's name, is respected by others, will also win the goodwill of others and respect their own. So, remember people's names, very important. 
Your name, I remember.
My name, do you remember?

The key to success: understand the advantages and refuse the temptation to

From my survey, that "20%" and other ordinary people the biggest difference, is not because they choose to do, but they choose to do nothing. Time is the least flexible resource, no one can make time slow down or speed up the progress, can not be stored when not in use, or to spend money to buy time. "20% of the people"Rolex watches in the distribution of such a scarce and lack of flexibility of resources, is very decisive. Regardless of how the treatment provided attractive, as long as that they do not like, they immediately withdraw. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, they always will be a thing in my heart, and that things can help us to remain successful. This thing: to find out you do not like something, and no longer do.
Your advantage, like love to solve problems, intuition, determination, love to help others, like analytical thinking, this is your innate ability, can not be suppressed. But more than that would be it for your advantage, is also included in the road of life experienced by tempering. When you use the strengths to overcome difficulties along the way, you will become self-confidence and feel ready for any challenge. These advantages make you stronger, so that benefits of natural play.
However, to remain successful is so difficult to understand is that you rarely enjoy the advantages of play. When you play an advantage and a modicum of success first time, a great appreciation of you to provide more attractive opportunities, high paying job, better working conditions, but these great advantages to you are usually completely unaware. In fact, some people may really see your strengths, but most people do not. So to keep the secret of success, it is to know its advantages, and has enough self-control rejection of other temptations.
Omega watchesCan enhance the life experiences of your ability is your advantage, and will weaken the ability, that is your shortcoming. When you use the advantages of a challenge to complete, in addition to complete the sense of achievement outside, you still feel exhausted, empty heart, or even think this is very boring. We have to identify weaknesses, and will completely remove them from life. From this perspective, success is not a cumulative, but an editing cut. Focus not on what we do, but know what not to do, and really do not do it.
To let you know my well-meaning, I suggest you book now together with a few minutes thinking in their hearts, what is the most distressing thing you. It is not necessarily important, or the threat of work, just some things go wrong. So now sit down and think carefully about this thing that bothered you, and depicted in the mind of any possible image. Think about this, what is that you can grasp? What is should do but have not had to do? What regrets do you want to do it all over? Are you committed some wrong? Has even become a model out?
"Find out they do not like something, and no longer do," the proposal seems very superficial and incomplete. How to get the get it? Or to undertake new and difficult position to enhance their abilities? Or do you like and dislike things, a balanced your life? For what real life concerns? Do not like things not to do, of course, be ideal, but who can truly do that? Everyone has things that do not like some of the same work as every day,Breitling watches let us bored and full of frustration. These are good questions. Search for answers, it would also re-discovered "one thing" power. Taken from"The key to success: understand the advantages and refuse the temptation".

I promise, yet to be realized

Friend suddenly asked me this question: "Do you think a person what is the best living conditions?" When a friend asked me this question when I was reading the U.S. poet laureate Robert Frost's poem, borrowed from Robert on homeopathy * Robert Frost poem to answer a friend: "beautiful forest, dark and deep, but I have promises to be achieved. Rolex watchesshould be sleeping Benxing Barry."
I have always felt that a poem like a mineral, with a magnificent find endless, because it allows us to do a "awake" and allows us to always keep in mind what your coordinates in, longing for what position , how to arrive. "I promise, yet to be realized." Is the same as living arrows, it can ensure that each of us forever "on the road!"
Everyone needs to setup my own winding, tightening, and back and forward "red"!

With the promise of the heart, like a seed sown field side, waiting for it's only moving to blossom, even if it was not in bloom. Like a ball full of gas, I heard an alarming outbreak can beat the Spring. A heart is not running next to greedy for. As an an arrow, only the bull's eye is it the most desirable destination.
Some years ago, British writer Oscar Wilde once said with deep feeling: There are two tragedies in life, one can not want; the other is obtained want. This remark, causing a cheer, sympathy by the public. But if you read carefully will find that Oscar Wilde said, is a tragedy, a tragedy is not our intention appears applauded.Omega watches So, between the between the two tragedies, "I promise, yet to be realized" becomes a comedy.

At the turning tearful smile

Than Homecoming, Huang came almost seven years between the graduate, recalled a tortuous thing to waste effort. If not for the pick up a pen, on the campus of memory, a graduate of vicissitudes, I categorically do not have much courage to review, bearing in mind. Today, I hosted programs often encounter just completed their friends, in that Huazipiaoling water gravity of the moment, most of my friends are always confused, fear, wandering, do not know Where to Go, do not understand all the options that How to choose.
Frankly,Tag Heuer watches my graduate experience is very common, very common, not horses know the goal Maxima leap, of course, will not have twists and turn a near escape the hardships. Like most of the world constitutes, as I graduated, like millions of ordinary force in each member of the same, in their own little world of experiencing depressed, anxious, frustrated and confused. But if the experience of those extraordinary and ordinary now you will bring some small comfort and encouragement, they will be another of my well-being.
For me, graduating in 2001, not end, but like a more stringent new courses start. Life never seems to like our school, like poplar trees along the road, straight branches, not next to the Plaza ramp out. It seems from the internship graduation in 2000, we had smelled the smoke flavor. Your resume, audition, audition, different people almost every day the yellow floor in the department together. At first it was uneven, with a total market of goods feel like, man-made Daozu, I fish, has been Chuluanbujing later, almost everyone dressed and clean, decent discourse, should fight like a wheel as it one to interview.
I remember taking open mobilization meeting, our class was a visionary, a philosopher, of the current situation sharp analysis of our situation is "less meat more than the wolf," the teacher is a very blunt threat to life,cheap watches we are actively planning, or no posts first laid off. In this opinion, under extreme pressure and psychological panic, and many can not hold the final selection of the switch, overseas undergraduates generally married man or woman, word, Eight Immortals, the fancy takes. Ultimately rest on the continued fighting in the cause of radio and television backstage. As one of them, I also squeezed in this narrow channel, and the Macedonian gearing, you push me away, and look forward to the final miracle.
The first stop is a practice almost all Chinese people know the place. In fact, because it is too high, too big, too well-known, so I never really thought to stay in that place. Go do remember after the first job is to "Pa word" (sorry I still do not know its scientific name). This work can be said without any technical content, as long as the hearing was slightly better, basically familiar with the Chinese characters can be completed, but many times to hit the pause button, hear then convert it to written records. Although there is no technical content, but a half-hour after entering the office, we can immediately enter the work state, no doubt for me is a kind of encouragement. In order to complete the work, I sit in front of the TV for four hours,wholesale watches the lunch time I am determined to give up their rations, one go to complete the task. When the first instance of recognition by the time, that joy really beyond words, I even naively believe that future work can be all the way gains across the board. Come to realize, the better the future is beckoning.
However, when I hopefully into the next internship, he found that, all I can seem to always be involved in this nothing to work with the professional. Impression of the most complex work is when the outreach program. Numerous inquiries with the 114 phone number, and then launched an offensive one by one, and only then did little about myself to study with a four-year basic skills, sweet, clear, intimacy, objects launched a strong sense of something then some broadcast receiver. Although I have many times urged the initiative to undertake more work, but it was left, all my achievements, but also is very active links with a few plants, such as dumplings, markets, supermarkets and the like service for the people of the venues, the other plus numerous hosts into the studio to seriously watch the video of the experience, take-out several times the size of regular meeting (including year-end wrap-up time), in addition, I am less than two months of the internship is almost nothing worth mentioning. Many years later, I finally Cartier watchesunderstand why so many colleagues face when I always maintain a cordial and polite smile, because in such a place does not belong to me, I would eventually like had been there among them Like many interns, as a passer as I lightly come lightly go, eventually does not take away a cloud.
Finally, in a warm conversation, I proposed to the program producer, come to inform the school, a municipal station to my invitation, hope to go to practice, the way to participate in their live coverage of the New Year. Without any trouble, so that two days before the new year, I took a huge black canvas case to go to S city.

Breitling watchesAfter two ups and downs, I began to seriously think about the future which way to go. Graduation assignments, said two-way selection, the final outcome can be just as specialized courses on the articulation of our voice teachers required Zaohe type, the best and worst state media 34 small units are always spawned Xi Luo, and If so most of my mediocrity only coerced in a wave of graduates army, the hard close to the ideal target.

After a fumbling, I came to practice the last leg of his career, is my first formal job started. As the gentle nature, coupled with the older generation of earnest teachings, and past experience, that part of an intern I almost counted as one of the best stage of literacy. Usually, the first day to get, go latest. As long as older than he is, mouth call a teacher. Broom, mop, garbage cans, open bottles a day than the microphone, editing machine practice tool to use higher frequency. One time, I wear many hats, in addition to my own work,Omega watches I express send and receive office staff, cleaners, receptionist, letter members, correspondents and so on.

Graduated that year, one of my older friends have been in earnest: Remember, do not be afraid to pay, today, hard to eat one day life will reward you do not know the way to you!
