<b>MOUNT MAGAZINE</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Mt. Magazine locates in a small town called Paris, Arkansas. Yes, you heard me. Paris in America, not the one in Europe. This town even has its own Eiffel Tower. Just type something like "Eiffel Tower in Paris, Arkansas" on Google image then you can see it. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Let's get back to the mountain. This is the tallest mountain in the State of Arkansas, about more than 800 meters. Why does it named Magazine? That's a long time ago. We don't need to worry about it. Out UAFS international students went to hike at the mountain few weeks ago. Yes, my blog is late. Let me give you some of the pictures: </div>

The weather on that day was perfect for hiking. It was sunny with clear sky as you can see from the pictures. There wasn't any rain before so the hiking trail was very dried, not muddy and slippery. The breeze was a bit chilly because of the mountain heights. I only wished the leaves would be changing colors for autumn.</div>

Overall, it was a great trip. The hike was neither too long nor too short. Everyone enjoyed the trip a lot. On the behalf of the International Students body, I would like to thank the Baptist Collegiate Ministry (BCM) for helping with the transportation from the university to Mt. Magazine and back.</div>

Magazine Trip was held in this semester as well. We have this trip twice in a
year, or fall and spring semester. This time we went with international
students from Arkansas Tech University. We have wanted an opportunity to get in
touch with international friends from another university, and finally we had
the chance! I feel like it was a dream come true. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> We

<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In
the afternoon, we enjoyed hiking. Mount Magazine is the tallest mountain in the
state of Arkansas. The scene from the top of the mountain is beautiful. You can
see magnificent nature and feel it with your body and mind. We were a little
bit tired, but the hiking made us feel closer as a group. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

I arrived in Nevada around 11 pm. I like riding on an airplane at night and watching the night view from the airplane. The stars were so beautiful. While there are beautiful stars in the sky, once I looked down I could see a bunch of the bright lights on the ground. The number of lights told me that Las Vegas is the city that does not sleep. With the stars and the bright city lights, the view was beautiful.<br /><span class="mceitemhidden">The next morning I woke up at 3 a.m. and joined the guided tour which included the trip to Utah and Arizona states. Although I had only three hours </span><span class="hiddengrammarerror">to sleep, the excitement gave me energy</span><span class="mceitemhidden">. Maybe I was excited like a child who cannot sleep before the day of going on a picnic. Before the sun had risen, we left Las Vegas and headed for Arizona. The beautiful nature spread out before my eyes and <span class="hiddensuggestion">it</span><span class="mceitemhidden"> was totally different from Las Vegas. There are cactuses and mountains in a desert and it is reminiscent of the scene of western movies. We visited Lake Powell, Horseshoe Bent, Antelope Canyon, and Monument Valley. Yeah, I know it was a little too much to go around these places in a day. My favorite is Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bent and I recommend you to visit there. Horseshoe Bent is a horseshoe-shaped meander of the Colorado River and the scenery was magnificent. Do not forget that some people fall off cliffs and die. Antelope Canyon which is known for bare rocks changing color and the fantastic light was beautiful as well. I had wanted to visit there since I watched a TV program which introduced the sightseeing spots in Arizona. When I walked the narrow path in the canyon, I felt I was in a spirit world. As you can see the picture, lights, and shadows accentuated the beautiful scenery of the canyon. Native Americans called Navajo live in and around there and they guide tourists in Antelope Canyon. I met a man, he is also Navajo Indian, in Monument valley and he said “I always enjoy the beautiful scenery. At night you can see a sky full of stars as well. Here is my sweet home.” I remember well his words and expression.<br /><span class="mceitemhidden">The remaining days, I enjoyed my time in Las Vegas. Especially, skydiving is the best part of my trip! Skydiving was one of things what I wanted to do before I left America; I was super excited. How could I forget the scene of Las Vegas from the air! I want to try it again and enjoy a view of the sea next time. </span><br /> Although I worried about going on a trip by myself at first, I really enjoyed my trip! I had the pleasure of meeting many nice people and getting in touch with nature.</span></span><span class="mceitemhidden"></span></span><br />

If you like food and music, you definitely
better take a Southern Road trip! During this Spring break, I explored the
South and found many things, a few travelers knows, to do, see and eat. And I got
to love the South more and more. I will show you my favorite things, especially
food..<o:p></o:p></div>

the busiest street in the South! That was filled with a bunch of people and music
even late at night. I enjoyed it, although we only walked and looked around
there.</div>
<o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<b>Lorraine Motel</b>: We could
also see a motel, where Martin Luther king Jr was assassinated, just off Beale

Japanese restaurant in Memphis. Cooks and some staffs at that restaurant are
Japanese and they have various menu items. My American friend did not like
Tofu and she was scared of a fried Tofu. But once she ate the fried Tofu, she
came to love Tofu because the taste was different from Tofu that we usually get
at grocery stores. I was happy that she knew the authentic taste of Japan, my
country, and could get to love it!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<b>BBQ</b>: We ate Memphis-style
BBQ! It was the hugest Rib I’ve gotten in my entire life! It was more than

about the South and want to know about it more and more. The South is not famous
place in US for travelers very much, compared to New York, LosAngeles and
other popular places. But I found that exploring places nobody knows and
knowing about history of each places are a lot of fun. I’m glad that I knew The
South is attractive place and I should know about it more! I want to tell these
stories and these places to many people who are not even interested in the South<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"> </span>after

I went to the south padre island where is located in Texas
and is nearly the border between Mexico and the United State for my spring
break with my roommates and their friend. That was my first time to go on the
road trip. Technically, they took me to go there because I’m not allowed to
drive a car as an exchange student… Anyway, we headed there at midnight from
Fort Smith. It was supposed to take around <u><span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif;">12
hours</span></u>, but for some reason it took about <u><span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif;">16 hours</span></u> to go there… it tired us so much,
we just played the sign game stuff forever. Nevertheless, once we got arrived
there, the island was so warm and it looked sort of the resort island. We
couldn’t believe we are still in the United State. <o:p></o:p><br />

We had lots of fun at the beach and Kayaking stuff. The best
thing about this trip is definitely Surfing. That was much easier than I
thought... Unfortunately, the instructor didn’t took a great picture of mine. You guys gotta try this, maybe everyone can
do that easily.<o:p></o:p><br />

Have you ever seen such a blue one? I just found it at the
beach and took a picture. I didn’t know what it is. When I went back here and
googled it, I realized that it was a jellyfish and called <span style="font-family: "Arial Black",sans-serif;">Physalia Physalis</span> which has
a strong poison. It has killed some people. So it is really dangerous for
people. My friend touched it and picked it up because she didn’t even know what
it was…. She almost committed suicide!! I’m glad that she didn’t get any damage
from it… if you find such a thing, don’t touch it!<o:p></o:p><br />

We went to the Japanese Restaurant but there were no
Japanese… only me. The staffs were Vietnamese, Chinese and American…it happened
all the time. Anyway, we ordered some Japanese food, sushi, teriyaki stuff like
that. Meanwhile, my friends asked lots of questions for me “what is miso soup? What
is Wasabi? What is orange raw fish?” They were curious about everything. I
tried to explain as much as I can and it was pretty hard to explain clearly.
Also I taught them how to use chopsticks as well. We had such a great time to
talk about Japanese culture and enjoyed Japanese food.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<br />
One of my roommates was not familiar with “Wasabi” which is
green Japanese mustard (you can see the above picture). We just tricked her and
said ‘‘you gotta try this one! Eat only wasabi! It is really good!’’ As she ate
only Wasabi, she screamed a lot and almost cried… I cannot even eat only
Wasabi. If you have never tried ‘‘wasabi’’, you should put it on sushi and eat
together.<br />
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
One more thing, “Sushi roll” is so famous in America but we
don’t have any kind like “sushi roll” in Japan. So “sushi roll” is not Japanese
culture but American culture. As for me, I do love it and I wish we had “sushi
rolls” in Japan. We always have Nigiri (basic sushi) and basically, 2 pieces of
Nigiri sushi cost only <span style="background: yellow; mso-highlight: yellow;">1
dollar.</span> It is much cheaper than the United States.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
Lastly, I will never forget this road trip. That is my best
trip what I ever had in my studying abroad. <o:p></o:p></div>

The office staff, student workers and some international students gathered in one place and enjoyed a variety of ethnic food together. Each staff and student workers cooked a dish from their home country and shared it at the party. We had sushi from Japan, spring rolls from Vietnam, plantain chips from Ivory Coast, enchiladas from Mexico, chili from America, and much more! All of the food tasted excellent. It was fun and interesting to know about food cultures in other countries. Also, we enjoyed talking and spend a great time at the party.<br />

We enjoyed
Indian curry and drawing Henna tattoo. Henna is a paste made out of crushed
leaves and twigs of henna plant. We draw on our palms, arms, or legs. The henna
paste may dry of in 5 to 10 minutes. After a while the dry henna paste is
scrapped off and you could see an orange stain left on your skin. It was not
easy to draw henna design and it takes forever. But it was really interesting
and great experience for international students. This event was a good
opportunity to experience other different culture.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1995902634574210275.post-64350400448247312902015-03-06T10:26:00.003-08:002015-03-06T10:26:54.640-08:00My favorite event of February<div style="text-align: justify;">
Time passes by so fast. It feels like spring semester just stared yesterday and now we are almost half way through the semester. February is one of my favorite month because it is cold. Yes, I like cold weather. Despite the freezing temperature outside, there are many events going on campus that students cannot miss. One of my favorite is International Tea Time. For those of you who are not familiar with the event, International Tea Time is organized once a month by the Office of International Relation, Campus Board Activity and International Leadership Council. Students come to enjoy a cup of tea, some snacks and most important, meet new friends. The main purpose of the event is to create an opportunity for international students to meet with new American students.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, the International Tea Time of this February is an unusual one. Coincidentally, the event is on the same day as the Lunar New Year. Therefore, Lunar New Year was the theme of the Tea Time. The snack was purchased from a local Asian market. Participants really enjoyed the unique experience, especially the New Year food items. </div>

pretty afraid if she can make it safely because she cannot speak English at
all. All she said to Latasha were THANK YOU and SORRY, that’s it… So I tried to
translate what American people say for her. As for dinner, Latasha cooked
Mexican and Venezuelan food for us. That was so yum and we liked them so much.
All because of them, we could have a great time in Arkansas. I really appreciate
Latasha and Beau.</span><br />

with my friend who comes from New Mexico in the United State. Her name is Moe
and she is also exchange student. We thought it should be nice celebration in
Cancun... but not gonna happen that. At 11:50 we went to the Downtown area and waited for the celebration.
However, nobody celebrated at 0:00 on 1<sup>st</sup> January 2015… they didn’t
care about new years at all…what happen was that the clock of the building is
just broken… oh my goodness. Everyone finally celebrated at 0:05. It had
nothing to do with New York year anymore though. That is my culture shock about time value in the winter break</span></div>

were so sweet and talked to us for many times. So we could go anywhere without

had kind of confident to get over everything because I can speak English, but
not gonna be easy to spend in Cancun without Spanish. Even thought Cancun,
almost all Mexican couldn’t speak English. I was struggling with the most is
that I</span><span lang="EN-US"> could not speak Spanish at all. Also it was kind of funny because
whenever we communicated with them, we tried to use the gestures somehow from
fingers to body. We were so desperate to tell them what we wanted... By the
way, it was pretty hard for me to plan our schedules because my friend did not
help at all. We had a great time in Cancun freely for a week.</span><br />

<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZntJxH6i3-c/VL8KNFuMBeI/AAAAAAAAAAo/zAhwusFfG30/s1600/DSC_0017.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ZntJxH6i3-c/VL8KNFuMBeI/AAAAAAAAAAo/zAhwusFfG30/s1600/DSC_0017.JPG" height="320" width="212" /></a></div>
<span style="line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><i> D</i></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">uring my winter break, I went to Philadelphia and New York City. The primary reason I chose two these places because I wanted to visit both historical and modern sites of the United States. </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">In Philadelphia there are brick built-houses and stone-paved road. It was pretty. I felt like I had stepped back in time. </span><span style="line-height: 20px;">I like Philadelphia because the time flows slowly in there. I visited the Liberty Bell, City Hall and Love Park. </span></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since it was season of christmas, there was a gigantic tree in the City Hall. And christmas market took place in Love Park. It was the first time for me to visit christmas market, so I was really excited. The market had various stores and they sold christmas ornaments made of wood or glass. There was also ice skate rink and many people enjoyed skating.</span></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GrvQ6Ev6UTY/VL8KSmFWZyI/AAAAAAAAAAw/7kVepx5fyak/s1600/DSC_0064.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; display: inline !important; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GrvQ6Ev6UTY/VL8KSmFWZyI/AAAAAAAAAAw/7kVepx5fyak/s1600/DSC_0064.JPG" height="208" width="320" /></a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> After that, however, an unexpected problem happened suddenly. Initially I was going to ride a bus which goes to New York City on next morning so that I had to confirm the location of the bus stop. I visited the tourist information center to ask about it. I had known that the bus stop are located in the area named Cherry Hill. So I just wanted to know how to get there. I asked a female staff b</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">ut she answered 'I don't know'. </span><div>
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-csZpF-13ktM/VL8KS8IscBI/AAAAAAAAAA0/l-scZpX-ot4/s1600/DSC_0044.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-csZpF-13ktM/VL8KS8IscBI/AAAAAAAAAA0/l-scZpX-ot4/s1600/DSC_0044.JPG" height="131" width="200" /></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I could </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">not </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">accept her answer.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Because I was sure that when I searched </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">about Cherry Hill on Google, I found the results of "Cherry Hill Philadelphia". Though I asked again with showing the map, she answered 'No...', and she continued that 'it is New jersey, not here'. In short, I had bought the ticket which departs from Cherry Hill, New Jersey. I was depressed because I thought I couldn't go to New York and I didn't know how many seats are still available. I almost hate the sound of Cherry Hill. But I had no choice but to find another ticket immediately. Luckily, I could use my phone and find new ticket from Philadelphia to New York. It could have been worse.</span><div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><div>
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rM0E2ioDLbQ/VL8KZx3_K3I/AAAAAAAAABI/y-xtJEWR6tE/s1600/DSC_0083.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rM0E2ioDLbQ/VL8KZx3_K3I/AAAAAAAAABI/y-xtJEWR6tE/s1600/DSC_0083.JPG" height="208" width="320" /></span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> A<span style="line-height: 20px;">lthough something unexpected had happened, I enjoyed exploring New York City from morning till night. New York is completely different place from Philadelphia and Fort Smith, of course. There are tons of people and cars and they move so busily. I got tired easily in there. Sometimes I wondered where I was. It was hard for me to walk without city map seriously.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Droid Sans, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 20px;">First I visited the modern museum called MoMA which I had wanted to visit. It was valuable experience for me to visit there. </span></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; line-height: 20px;">In the afternoon I went to broadway and watched Cinderella. Since I had known the story of Cinderella, it was not so difficult to follow their English and understand the story of the show. At the same time I remembered that I had watched broadway show in London. </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; line-height: 20px;">At the time, I could hardly understand the story and fell asleep in the end. </span> <br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; line-height: 20px;"> Through the trip I could see the both </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; line-height: 20px;">traditional and modern places in America. It was great time. </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, 'Droid Sans', sans-serif; line-height: 20px;">After the trip, I stayed in my home. I have spent the rest of my winter break watching Japanese comedy program or movies and hanging out with other Japanese students. I could enjoyed my winter break, and I want to go to New Orleans next time!</span><br />

friend, Haruka. I went to traveled in Montreal, Quebec City, and New York City.
Haruka is now studying abroad in Vancouver in Canada. Also, we have known each
other since we entered our university in Japan and we belong to the same
volunteer group. So, she always gives me a stimulus. Anyway, I’ve been very
looking forward to seeing her. </span></span><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Century;">My trip was awesome. I will show some

Basilica. It is a famous for sightseeing place to go. In 1994, Céline Dion held
a wedding ceremony here. The stained glass windows are also very beautiful, the
sun shining. If you have a chance to go to Montreal, I want to recommend you to
visit there.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

we took a train. I was very excited because it has been a long time since I took
it last in Japan. The most interesting thing in Montreal and Quebec city was
that people speak French as a first language. So most of billboards were
written in French and I couldn’t understand what they said. I thought as if I
was in Europe because it is the first time to experience like that. </span></span><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Century;">In Quebec city, it was more like Europe
because it is a small city and many shops stand side by side. The scenery from
the hell was very beautiful. </span></span></div>

As examples of it, there are meat pie or meatball. Actually, I ate meat pie and
maple pie as a dessert. The lunch in the Quebec restaurant was one of my best
memories in this trip. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

to a busy city, New York. It was the second time to go there for me, so I used
to take subway better than the last time. We went to a lot of places anyway in
New York. In MOMA (Museum of Modern Art), I could see famous arts and enjoy knowing
the background of production. And also, we watched a Broadway musical “PIPIN”.
The show was definitely amazing. I liked the songs too. </span></span></div>

then, we took pictures in front of Rockefeller Center. If I say about my regret
during this trip, we forgot about taking pictures of the tree in front of
Rockefeller Center at night... But instead of that, we could see the night view
in Brooklyn Bridge. It was so amazing!! I loved that. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

this winter vacation, I traveled in Nevada, Arizona and Florida. As soon as I
was done for my final exam, I went to Las Vegas to see my parents. When arrived
there at night, I was overwhelmed by the city filled with a bunch of glaring
lights. Since came in U.S., I had not ever seen such a crowd and lively
atmosphere. At second day, we went out from hotel to take a walk in the
morning, but the city looks totally different from the last day’s one. Only a
few people are there and many shops are still closed even just before noon. At
that day, we watched some interesting shows hotels held and eat too much at a Buffet
restaurant. At third day, we woke up at 7 a.m. to get to the Grand Canyon in a
tour package. While it took more than four and a half hours to get to the Grand
Canyon from Las Vegas by a van, I was not falling asleep because the road from
Nevada to Arizona was interesting to me. As we had been drove from Las Vegas
for just the past 15 minutes, the view was totally changed. When we passed by a
residential area of about 1 kilometer length, we could see a huge arid area I
had not ever seen before. There are no factory, no train and even no housing. I
thought Nevada State is literally made up of casino and tourism. After kept
going through arid region about 2 hours, we could reach at one small village.
There is a gift shop with a barber shop a person who save “Route 66” runs. Staffs in there are unique and can speak
Japanese a little bit. We enjoyed talking with them and taking lots pictures of
the historical village and gift shop. After leaving there, a view had been
changed gradually. Arid zone came to vast ravines towering. As we drove more,
we were surrounded with forests and finally reached the Ground Canyon National
Park. We headed to near the Grand Canyon on our feet. When I reached to the top
of the canyon at last, I was really impressive for magnificent view. It was so
huge that I felt like it absorbed me into the canyon. And luckily, we could see
the Ground Canyon with a little snow, which does not happen too much. It was
quite beautiful. We got a bus to see the sunset with the canyon and were
waiting for the time of sunset more than 30 minutes during minus centigrade. Unfortunately
because of plenty of clouds, we could not see the sunset clearly. I want to
make it again to see it. As well as the view
of the canyon, I was surprised that I can watch wild animals closer than zoo. When
we are waiting for a bus at bus stop, I saw a very big deer of more than 150
centimeters long standing almost next to me. It was exciting for me because
there are nothing such as cages in the Grand Canyon. The Grand Canyon came to
one of my favorite places in U.S. </span>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1995902634574210275.post-76527009213718965062014-10-03T13:25:00.002-07:002014-10-03T13:25:49.448-07:00<br />

UAFS is a member of the NCAA D II. An outsanding university must have an solid athletic programm. Here we are, the university since becoming a member of the NCAA ( National Collegial Athletic Association) has proven by multiple wins of its conference. Last night, the volleyball women's team hosted a conference game against St Mary's University. Students, staff, faculty members came out to support our lady Lions. It was realy fun. More fun with the win of the ladies by 3 sets to nothing. The game was intense, every set was toughly fought, as we know our ladies did not give up. Each home game not matter the sport , is a get together for students , staff and faculty member to cheer our school athlets and show our pride. The most intersting fact about the volleyball team is that, we have three international student-athlets. They are from Brazil and Serbia. The are outstanding players and students too. So far the Lady lions are leading the conference and are in a good position to finish strong. They are also better than ever with the experienced coaching staff.<br />
The UAFS lady lions are takindg on the TAMUI lady dustdevill tomorrow at noon. <br />

UAFS has two different set of housing. The Sebastian Commons are apartment for upper level and older student. It was a great opportunity to meet all the students and share some of our different background. We also made new friends and the food was good (kebab). The atmosphere was friendly. UAFS is the perfect place to study abraod. The multicity of the faculty and students allows a welcoming environment.

<span class="story_dl" style="font-family: Roboto;"><br /></span></div>
<span class="story_dl" style="font-family: Roboto;">QINGDAO, China, May 9 (UPI) --</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Roboto;">People who ate the most fruits and vegetables were 21 percent less likely to have a stroke than those who ate the least amounts of produce, according to new research.</span><div style="font-family: Roboto;">
Senior author Dr. Yan Qu of the Qingdao Municipal Hospital and professor at the Medical College of Qingdao University in Qingdao, China, and colleagues at the Hiser Medical Center in Qingdao and Department of Epidemiology and Health Statistics at the Medical College of Qingdao University conducted a meta-analysis of 20 studies published over the last 19 years, involving data from 760,629 men and women who had 16,981 strokes.</div>
<div style="font-family: Roboto;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Roboto;">
The study, published in the journal <a class="tpstyle" href="http://stroke.ahajournals.org/content/early/2014/05/08/STROKEAHA.114.004836.abstract" style="color: #006699; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Stroke</a>, found stroke risk decreased by 32 percent for every 200 grams -- or 21 ounces, or about two smallish apples -- of fruit eaten daily and 11 percent with every 200 grams of vegetables eaten daily. Citrus fruit, apples, pears and leafy vegetables might contribute added protection against stroke.</div>

<div style="font-family: Roboto;">
"Improving diet and lifestyle is critical for heart and stroke risk reduction in the general population," Qu said in a statement. "In particular, a diet rich in fruits and vegetables is highly recommended because it meets micronutrient and macronutrient and fiber requirements without adding substantially to overall energy requirements."</div>

Stroke is the leading cause of death in China claiming some 1.7 million people in 2010 and the fourth leading cause of death in the United States.</div>

However, I know I souldn't be so melancholic, since my experience at UAFS has been one of the greatest of my life. If I am unhappy about leaving, it's because I was very happy living here; and that's something good, that's something I must cherish.<br />
<br />
I have many, many memories to rejoice in. They are really varied and I wouldn't be able to choose only one. They go from the most typical American traditions (Halloween, Thanksgiving, Homecoming, Valentine's Day, Fall Festival, Superbowl) to the most international events (Hmong Night, African Night, Thai New Year, Vietnamese Moon Festival, and, of course, iFest). I also tried compeltely new things, such as eating alligator, or feeding llamas in a farm. I went hiking, kayaking, horseriding... I taught classes and I attended several courses. Overall, it was a fantastic year.<br />
<br />
But, you know what? Those things, those activities would have meant nothing if I wouldn't have shared them with the lovely people of Fort Smith and the sweet international students that I met along the way. What makes this place worth it, is my friends, my new family. And that's why I know I am not saying goodbye. I am sayingh<br />

The current U.S. immigration system is in need of a renewal, especially for young international students who may be interested in pursuing a career in the United States. As an international student about to graduate with my master's degree from St. Louis University in May, I was left with very few options to stay and pursue a career in the United States.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
One option was to return to my home country, and the other option was to apply for an optional practical training. OPT allows F-1 students to work for a maximum of one year after graduating. The issue with OPT is that once the year ends, not many employers are willing to sponsor an international student for a working visa (H1-B) who is not in a high demand STEM field. Additionally, it can be a very complicated and there are competitive caps on how many temporary visas are given out each year. This leaves many international students, such as myself, with a lack of options to stay.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; float: right; font-family: georgia; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; margin-left: 2px; width: 378px;">

<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
The proposed comprehensive immigration reform would significantly help out international students looking to begin their career here in the U.S. The cap of H1-B visas will be increased significantly from 65,000 to 110,000. The H1-B visa only applies to those who are considered “highly educated” and hold a master's or higher. The increase of visa caps would benefit both the U.S. economy and international students. The U.S. would benefit from highly educated, talented and skilled individuals who are willing to work, and international students would benefit from being able to gain experience working long term in the U.S.</div>

<br />
April 23rd is the International Book Day, and Cataluña has a particular way of celebrating it. It is called Sant Jordi. All day long, book stores invade the avenues of cities and towns, holding a sale where you can find your favorite authors or maybe discover new ones. Due to the good spring weather, people just go out and enjoy walking through culture. This tradition dates back to the 15th century!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
In the streets you will find stalls with books but also stalls with red roses. Why is that? The tradition dictates that women should give a book to their men, and men should offer a red rose to their significant other. This rose is often accompanied by a branch of wheat. This gift symbolizes exclusivity of his love for her, since it is just one rose and not a bouquet. It also symbolizes passion, for its color is red; and the wheat symbolizes fertility.<br />

Some people also dress up as dragons, knights or princesses, since Sant Jordi is a catalan hero who saved a princess from a dragon in the 11th century. People celebrate fantasy and the triumph of the good over the evil.</div>

It is that time of the year again. The flower are blooming, the weather is becoming warmer, the swim suits are on the racks of every store, the TV has some new shows, etc.. Hold it right there, i am not talking about Summer. I am talking about finals week. That week when sleep is a luxury of the past, coffee is a life saver in any diet, and normally rational students inexplicably lose their mind.<br />
So, now what is the survival strategy?<br />
<img src="http://myrenaissanceblog.files.wordpress.com/2013/12/4278-finals8.png" /><br />
Well first of all, you have got to accept it. Finals are horrible, long and exhausting. The sooner you accept this fact, the better you will be able to prepare for them. Do not try to pull an all-niter during that week. Believe it or not, although it might seem kind of pointless then, sleep is very important. Staying rested will help you with your focus and will really make a difference when you are cramming an entire semester worth of material.<br />
Try having some fun, eat healthy and take care of yourself. A poor diet and sleepless nights would lower your immune system.<br />
Turn off your social media just for a week. You can totally do it, and it won't kill you.<br />
Leaving your room sometimes, a change in scenery or some breaks every now and then will help you cope with the stress.<br />
Talk to your friends or family, sometimes you only need to talk and let things go. They will listen and you will feel better after that.<br />
Take every final seriously; that doesn't mean that not acing a final will be the end of the world. Do your best that's all anyone can ask you.<br />
<br />
Good Luck!<br />
<br />

Every single thing about this season is appealing: the flowers blooming, the pollen in the air, this whole feeling of rebirth and regeneration.<br />

The good thing about spring is also the fact that you don't really have to think really hard about what to wear. The different colors i see everywhere just make me happy. The sunshine and the warm weather on the other hand make me feel lazy and not want to go to class. I wish spring break was right now, so we can enjoy this weather.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In Spain, traditionally a catholic country, Easter is called <i>Semana Santa</i> (Holy Week) and we have vacation for a whole week, finishing on Resurrection Sunday. During that week, <i>procesiones </i>or processions are held each day, consisting on the carrying of <i>tronos</i>, heavy statues representing a passage of the Bible. These <i>tronos </i>are carried by volunteers as a penance.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Some of the typical <i>Semana Santa </i>attires are very shocking for American visitors, but we have to take into account our histories are really different and the meanings of these clothes are completely disconnected from one another.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I am actually from one of the towns where <i>la Semana Santa </i>is more famous in Spain, Cartagena, since it is said to be really beautiful. Besides, we have an extra day of vacation the Monday after Easter Sunday, and we call it <i>Lunes de Pascua </i>or <i>Día de la Mona. La mona</i> is a sweet pastry we eat that Monday. Traditionally, families get together and spend the day in the countryside and eat it. And here is where we can compare our tradition a little bit with America's, since in the middle of the pastry you find an egg, although is not made of chocolate... is a hard boiled egg!</span><br />
