Lovers 

Lovers - Kathleen Battle, Shigeru Umebayashi

Title song from the: House Of Flying Daggers



There was a field in my old town

where we always played hand in hand

The wind was gently touching the grass

we were so young, so fearless



Then I dreamt over and over

of you holding me tight under the stars

I made a promise to my dear lord

I will love you forever



Time has passed

so much has changed

But the field remains in my heart

Oh, where are you?

I need to tell you I still love you

So I reach out for you

you fly around me like a butterfly

Your voice still echoes in my heart

you are my true love



There was a field in my old town

where in spring all flowers blossomed wide

We were chasing butterflies

hand in hand till close of day

Your voice still echoes in my heart

Published on Feb 29, 2016
This
is the story of four rescued baby crows that were raised by a loving
family. They learned to say "hello" and how to become independent.
Eventually they were accepted by a family of wild crows. Even though
they fly south each winter, they always return each spring to literally
say hello to the family that saved them.

'World's prettiest dog' becomes social media sensation because of her gorgeous hair

'World's prettiest dog' becomes social media sensation because of her gorgeous hair

Helena Horton 23 October 2016


Tea the Afghan Hound has been named the world's prettiest dog by adoring fans who love her luscious locks.

The 'supermodel' dog from Sydney became an overnight social media sensation due to her glossy hair.

She is a highly decorated show dog and well-admired in those circles but had never before experienced such social media fame.

Her owner, Luke Kavanagh, posted a picture of her on Facebook and was surprised when it got scores of likes and shares.

In the photograph, she sits gracefully on a bench with her hair on full display, as she stares thoughtfully into the distance.


                                      What a pretty pooch! Credit: Luke Kavanagh/Facebook

Mr Kavanagh told NewsLocal: "Even our weekend walks draw a crowd. She pretends she doesn’t need the attention, but she definitely loves it, just like any supermodel.

"I guess people were mostly drawn to [the photo] because of her silky coat coupled with that dignified look that Tea has, but that’s just her being her."

Tea's social media fame managed to land her a modelling deal for dog food and another for dog shampoo.

The pooch was apparently a "natural" at modelling and animal acting, and "numerous" companies have approached Mr Kavanagh to ask if he can use her image.



  
Tea has now retired Credit: Luke Kavanagh/Facebook However, the dog is now going into retirement as an actor because the preparation time was too much for the pair to handle.


Her owner said: "Her retirement is due to no other reason than I reached a point where showing (grooming and show day) was taking me away from spending time with my family and I want to prioritise them over campaigning my dog"

"I have such a special bond with Tea & we have shared a lifetime of wonderful moments together.

"On show day she exemplifies Afghan hound, she is dignified, aloof and most certainly displays a keen fierceness. At home she is such a character and really loving her retirement.

"Whether she's naked or draped in the finest of silk gowns, Tea will always be my queen."

Interview with Bonsai master Masahiko Kimura


 

Published on Sep 17, 2016
Masahiko
Kimura is one of the world’s most renowned Bonsai masters. In this
unique and exclusive interview, conducted in his garden near Tokyo, we
ask about his early years as apprentice, the way he educates his
students and how he successfully build his business.

Four of his
apprentices will give a demonstration at the European Bonsai San Show,
October 15th and 16th 2016, so mr. Kimura also talks about his students
and briefly introduces them to the audience. The movie ends with a tour
through his wonderful Bonsai garden.

We would like to express our
deepest gratitude to Master Masahiko Kimura to welcome us in his home
and his magical world of Bonsai. We also thank the Nippon Bonsai
Association for their support and specifically to Makiko Kobayashi, and
of course Marco Invernizzi.

Finally we thank our team of
translators: Miguel Vaquera and Xema Laguna Font for the Spanish
version, Violeta Valero Font for the German version, Andrei Darusenkov
for the Russian version, Bergson Vasconcelos and Nacho Marin for the
Portuguese version, Stefanie Chenal for the French version and Marco
Invernizzi for the Italian version.
