Since 1995, this day-long event showcases the arts, entertainment, food, traditions, and most importantly the spirit of the Arab-Americans, reflecting their diversity and contributions to the Bay Area's cultural landscape.

 

As October has officially been declared Arab Heritage Month by Mayor Gavin Newsome, this event is the perfect forum to come celebrate and learn more about Arab-American culture. This year's theme is Souq el Arabi and the Festival will transform Union Square into a traditional open market place you would normally only find in the Arab World.

About the Festival Artists:

 


Yassir Chadly: has been performing traditional Moroccan music since 1972, first in his native Morocco and then in the United States since 1977. His musical expression ranges from the melodic love songs of the Magreb and Egyptian traditions, to the powerful rhythms of the religious music of the Gnawa, the Sufi musicians originally from sub-Saharan Africa. His varied instruments include the oud (lute), the guenbri (a three-stringed bass-like instrument made from a camel neck), qarqabas (metal clackers from which the castanets are derived), bender, darbukkah, and taarija (percussion instruments native to Morocco). Yassir is well known as an inspired storyteller of the Sufi tradition in addition to his talents as a musician. He has recorded with Dizzy Gillespie, Randy Weston, Stephen Kent, and Steve Coleman. He is featured on two recent Omar Sosa recordings, "Prietos" and "Sentir", and has performed with Mr. Sosa since 2001. Yassir has participated in other collaborative projects with Alonzo King, including Heart Song (2003) for the Ailvin Ailey American Dance Theater, Salt (2005) with the North Carolina Dance Theater, and Ocean (1994) and The Moroccan Project (2005) with LINES Ballet.

 


Bouchaib Abdelhadi: a native of Casablanca, Morocco, has had a distinguished musical career on both sides of the Atlantic. As leader of the Orchestre Abdelhadi, he performed throughout the Kingdom of Morocco in the 1980's. Since coming to the United States in the early 1990's, Bouchaib has been much sought out as a multi-instrumentalist (oud, Moroccan violin, percussion) and as a vocalist in Middle Eastern and North African traditions such as al-Yqa (Andalusian), Gnawa (Sufi trance), and Chaabi ("popular"). Recent career highlights include collaborating in 2002 with Pharoah Sanders on music for Alonzo King's LINES Ballet Company, and live performances range from a US tour with Cuban jazz pianist Omar Sosa in 2002 to a performance with Stephen Kent and Trance Mission in 2001, and from playing at the 1998 San Francisco Ethnic Dance Festival and and collaborating on The Moroccan Project (2005) with LINES Ballet. Bouchaib played with DJ Cheb i Sabbah on the album "La Kahena", and in addition to traditional Moroccan music performance he enjoys working with artists from diverse musical traditions such as Hindustani, jazz, and rock.

 


Salma Khasiborn: Salma Habib Khshaiboon was born in Haifa in 1975. Her professional career as an artist began at the age of seven as a leading dancer in the "Salma Dancing Group" in Haifa, established in 1979. Her acting and singing career started in the Arabic TV in Palestine where she hosted the only show for Arab children for eight years. For seven years, Salma hosted three daily radio shows in Palestine focusing on women, Arabic classical music and current events. Salma has performed with critically acclaimed composers such as Bassam Saba, an Arabic music virtuoso. She often sings for the Arabic Music Ensemble, Zikrayat.



Sami Abu Shumays: Arabic Violinist Sami Abu Shumays was born in the United States of mixed Palestinian and American descent, but returned to the Arab world to develop a richer connection with his cultural heritage. Originally a composer and scholar of Western Classical music, he began studying Arabic violin with renowned Arabic violinist and oud player Simon Shaheen in New York, where he concurrently pursued graduate studies in composition and ethnomusicology at C.U.N.Y. after receiving his B.A. in Music from Harvard. Seeking a deeper immersion in Arab musical culture, Sami studied in Cairo, Egypt on a Fulbright fellowship, with Dr. Alfred Gamil, and continued his studies in Aleppo, Syria, with Mohammed Qasas, Abdel-Basit Bakkar, and Abdel-Minaim Senkary-experiences that led him to devote himself to Arabic music. He founded Zikrayat in late 2005. Through Zikrayat, an ensemble devoted to presenting the classical, dance and folkloric repertories of the Arab world side-by-side, with a particular focus on rare music and dance pieces from classic Egyptian film, Sami seeks to make Arabic music accessible to a wide variety of audiences.

For Immediate Release: Pfizer may pay YOU $35 for every AFLB share you own?

By Announcing The Greatest Medical Breakthrough Of The 21st Century, This $.73 Powerhouse Could Return Investors A 4694% Profit By November 1, 2010

I'll prove below, why a buyout by Merck, Pfizer or
Johnson & Johnson may be virtually guaranteed
as your $.73 shares soar to $35 or higher!

Future Millionaire,

I'm about to show you what may very well be the greatest medical breakthrough since Penicillin...

My #1 bio-tech pick of 2010, A5 Laboratories (AFLB), has just unveiled a new way to produce one of today's most important ingredients in drug therapy - interferon - setting themselves up as a strong buyout target by a major pharmaceutical company, like Roche or Johnson & Johnson.

I'm going to literally prove to you why a buyout of AFLB at $35 a share could be right around the corner.

But before we get into the big buyout possiblities, let me tell you about their earthshattering new discovery...

What are interferons - and why are they so important?

Besides being the keys to unlocking your door to untold wealth...

Interferons are naturally-occuring proteins made by white blood cells. They perform many critical immune functions like fighting disease and even cancer cells!

Too few interferons in your body, and death could be knocking at your door.

This is why they're used by many of today's biggest pharmaceutical companies in dozens of blockbuster drugs. This is a booming $9 billion annual business.

You see, the interferon Big Pharma is using now is expensive, often toxic and hard to make. Quite frankly, it's junk compared to what I'm about to reveal, but quite honestly, they haven't had any other options... until now!

As we speak, A5 Labortories (AFLB) are creating an inexpensive, non-toxic and completely natural interferon that could turn the entire medical world on it's head, and by doing so, capturing 100% of the interferon market...

Yes, you read that correctly - 100%!

But best of all, (especially for early investors) A5 Laboratories (AFLB) is planning on selling their propreitary interferon to Big Pharma for just 1/7th the price, which could potentially mean profit margins in excess of 93%!

"And here's the kicker! A5 Laboratories (AFLB) could easily capture a huge chunk of this $9 billion and growing market."

This isn't science fiction, it's science FACT! Interferon is a proven medical commodity that's already approved and used in hundreds of drugs, many of them with annual sales in the $billions.

Remember, A5 Laboratories' interferon (for which they have 3 patents pending and world-wide manufacturing rights)is 100% natural.

This company could very well revolutionize medical treatment as we know it, for both humans and animals.

And I don't have to tell what that'll mean to early share-holders who accumulate AFLB shares between $.75 and $1.50 right now...

Why I see a fast and high-priced buyout of AFLB on the horizon

The fastest way for AFLB to become a Billion dollar company (and generate gargantuan profits for early A5 investors) is obvioulsy the big money buyout, which I'm about to prove, is almost a certainty.

But there's another way...

A5 may very well cut a licensing deal with Big Pharma names like Pfizer and Roche, to make and add A5's interferon to their already successful drugs.

Assuming A5's interferon makes these drugs far more effective, sales could easily double, as it becomes the drug of choice. Then, A5 will collect a percentage-of-sales royalty on the new formulation.

And if Pfizer and Roche don't want in, I'm sure Biogen would love to add A5's interferon to its products, maybe quadrupling its current $1.7 billion annual sales to $6.8 Billion, while largely killing sales of those companies sitting on the sidelines.

Do you see why my numero uno bio-tech pick of the year, A5 Laboratories, is almost guaranteed to lock in profits of 4694% for early investors?

By clicking HERE you'll get the whole story on why
A5 Laboratories could be...
The Biggest Buyout Target of 2010!!

Mark this date on your calender, AFLB could be on it's way to $Billion profits with two ways to win - a high-priced buyout or a profitable licensing agreement - with what could be the single greatest breakthrough in drug technology of our lifetime!!

I urge you to read this special report before a buyout or licensing agreement is met, by then it'll be too late. Select here to read on...

 

Happy Investing,

Tim Fields

God's will isn't a guessing game

August 19, 2010

But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

--Matthew 6:33

You know, some people think of God's will like some kind of cosmic Easter egg hunt.

But God's not playing hide and seek with you. This isn't some guessing game where God is saying, "You're getting warmer. Oh, now you're cooler." No! Our lives are not left to fate or fortune or circumstances.

God wants you to know his will more than you want to know it! And it's not something you have to fear, either. You may have heard me say this before, but it bears repeating: God will choose for you what you would choose for yourself if you had sense enough to choose it. It's true! God always leaves his best to those who leave the choice with him!

Now this doesn't mean that God's will is always easy. Sometimes God's plan can be dangerous and difficult. Just ask Jim Elliott, the martyred missionary who died for his faith taking the gospel to South America.

So God's will may not be easy, but it is always best, always perfect, always good, and always acceptable!

Don't wait until all else fails to try God's will! Seek God's kingdom first! Martin Luther put it this way, "Love God and do what you want to do." 

Love God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength, and he's going to lead you.

OUR LIVES ARE NOT LEFT TO FATE OR FORTUNE OR CIRCUMSTANCES.

OUR THANKS TO YOU!

Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out

Dear Friend,

Do the words rested... peaceful... and refreshed describe you today? Or do the words stressed... rushed... and pressured better describe your way of life?
If you're like most Christians, you'd probably have to admit those last three words more accurately describe your life most of the time!
The good news is that it doesn't have to be this way... even when your life is one big pressure-cooker. And in my new book, Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out, I'll show you why.
Based on the principles from Paul's letter to the Philippians and Psalm 23, Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out will help you find true peace and rest in a world that is anything but peaceful and restful. It's the perfect "pause" button you need!
So please request your copy of Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out when you give online today!  --Jack Graham
