A ministry spokesman says the Syrian National Coalition is ``blocking and
refusing to participate'' in the talks, which would focus on resolving the
humanitarian crisis in Syria.
Russian officials had hoped the talks would bolster prospects for a proposed
peace conference the U.S. and Russia are trying to convene in Geneva.
Israel believes Iran is trying to develop a nuclear weapon, and says
international pressure should be stepped up, not eased, in order to force
Iran to dismantle its nuclear program.
Netanyahu has repeatedly threatened to attack Iran, unilaterally if
necessary, if he concludes that diplomatic pressure on Iran has failed.

Ezine reflection
link : http://issuu.com/rainfir0927/docs/la_vie__edition_a_
When we are told to do our own Ezine, I was excited about it. However, it's easy to conceive of the idea, but it's hard to conduct those details in reality. In our Ezine, I offered three articles, but for me I don't know how to edit the pages with any software, so I asked for my friend for help. She taught me how to use Illustrator to edit my own pages. I think I'm proud of my work, though I know it looks not that "professional", yet it's my very first time to team up with others to design our own magazine. We have rare time to collaborate with each other, we divided different sections and make our own pages, so our work looks kind of rough compared with other groups. Yet I definitely obtain a lots skills of editing and friendship from this experience, and we are all satisfied with our work.

An extraordinary day trip
It was probably the most impulsive decisions
that I had ever made, but also a memorable experience throughout my entire
life. When I was in the third grade year in senior high school, I was
enormously obsessed with a popular singer, Justin Bieber. Two year ago, I had
seen the advertisement of Justin’s world tour concert in Taipei Arena.
Afterwards, I asked my best friend, Morgana if she would like to go as well,
and she agreed. Therefore, she accompanied me to go to Taipei, which was my
first time leaving home alone.
At the beginning, I didn’t get the permission from my parents. However, I begged for their permission, and they ultimately reluctantly allowed me to go to Taipei. I was dying to go to his concert, and I even made a welcome board on my own. Before going to Taipei, we had planned how to get there. Waiting for days, we left for Taipei by train on May, 15th, 2011. We chatted with each other with excitement and delight. Looking out the window, I saw a picturesque scene of verdant fields and crystal blue sky. I knew it was a perfect day from the bottom of my heart. Arriving at Taipei station, we went to Taipei arena directly and waited in line along the entrance. In addition, I bought a T-shirt and decoration that has the image of Justin. My friends thought I was insane after I told them.
Two or three hours later, we entered the arena, and I couldn’t help hiding my excitement. We took many pictures and waited for the performance to begin. For starters, DJ played pop music for almost an hour. Some people had already lost patience because Justin was supposed to show up an hour ago. Finally, he showed up and sang affectionately to all the girls on the scene. Every girl just screamed and jumped out of their seats. The atmosphere was astonishing and mesmerizing. I even recorded videos surreptitiously. Almost at the end of the show, everyone knew the classic song, Baby. We screamed out loud and sang along with him. Good things always cannot last for too long. I didn’t quite believe that it was the end. At last, we went home with delight and satisfaction. Next day, I found the reason why he was late for the performance is because he was seriously sick and not in a good condition.
It was a fabulous experience, and I’m so grateful that I have had the opportunity to go to the concert with my best friend. Although I am no more a groupie now, I still consider this day trip as the most fascinating journey that I ever had because the joy and the memory are already borne in my mind.
