Motivation for domestic tourism : a case study of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

By Naima Bakor Bogari

In Saudi Arabia there is a growing amount of leisure time and a high percentage of\ud disposable income is being spent on various forms of tourism; such trends have\ud increased the number of Saudis travelling to tourist destinations, internationally or\ud domestically. Spending the annual holiday away from Saudi is normal for most Saudi\ud families and it is estimated that the total expenditure on domestic tourism in Saudi\ud Arabia is only 16.7% of total tourism expenditure. International expenditure was\ud estimated (in 1995) to be US$ 7.6 million US$ and this increased to more than US$\ud 8.2 million in 1997 which is about 17.3% of total oil revenue estimated in 1998 and\ud nearly 5.6% of the Saudi gross domestic product. Consequently, foreign tourism is a\ud substantial drain on the current account, so the government has been trying to\ud persuade more of its citizens to holiday at home. This situation will require tourism\ud marketer to understand fully the need of tourists. Under increasingly competitive\ud conditions, effective tourism marketing is impossible with out an understanding of\ud tourists' motivation to choose a Saudi travel destination.\ud \ud \ud The purpose of this study is to describe and analyse the status of domestic tourism\ud motivation. The research took place in Saudi Arabia, concentrating on the motivation\ud 'push' and 'pull' factors of tourist behaviour towards domestic tourism in an Islamic\ud and Arabic culture.\ud \ud \ud Data were collected by means of a questionnaire using a 5-point Likert-scale. Out of\ud 1400 questionnaires distributed, in two tourism cities Jeddah and Abha, 505 usable\ud questionnaires were verified and prepared for the final analysis. In view of the\ud intensive and extensive data and interdependent relationships between variables, the\ud statistical techniques used in this research include reliability analysis, frequencies,\ud cross tabulation, mean, standard deviation, chi-square, factor analysis, Pearson\ud correlation, multiple regression and one-way ANOVA.\ud \ud \ud The results of the analysis of push motivation indicates nine factors: (Fl) cultural\ud value factor; (F2) utilitarian factor; (F3) knowledge factor; (F4) social factor; (F5)\ud economical factor; (F6) family togetherness factor; (F7) interest factor; (F8)\ud relaxation factor; (F9) convenience of facilities factor.\ud \ud The result of the factor loading for pull motivational items presents nine pull factors:\ud (Fl) safety factor; (F2) activity factor; (F3) beach sports/activities factor; (F4)\ud nature/outdoor factor; (F5) historical/cultural factor; (F6) religious factor; (F7) budget\ud factor; (F8) leisure factor; (F9) upscale factor. This study found that the most\ud important push and pull factors as perceived by Saudi tourists are 'cultural value' and\ud 'religious'.\ud \ud \ud The major findings of the study were that the push factors positively and strongly\ud related to pull factors. Also, the study found that no significant correlation existed\ud between push and pull motivation items and the social demographic variables,\ud educational level, income level and age. The only significant correlation was found\ud between pull motivation items and the gender.\ud \ud \ud In the case of the push factors the test found that there is no significant correlation\ud between push motivation factors and the educational level, with one exception, a\ud significant correlation between social factor and the educational level in Abha. The\ud study found that there are significant correlations between the economical push\ud motivation factor and the income level, while the remaining eight factors are not\ud significantly correlated with the income level in Jeddah. Also, there is a significant\ud correlation between the knowledge factor and the income level in Abha.\ud \ud \ud The results indicate that there is significant correlation between push motivation\ud factors and age as follow: cultural value factor and age in Jeddah, interest factor and\ud age in Abha and social factor and age in Abha.\ud \ud \ud The study found that there is significant correlation between push motivation factors\ud and the gender. A significant correlation is found between the interest factor, social\ud factor and the gender in Jeddah. In addition, a significant correlation is found between\ud the interests, the cultural value, the utilitarian factors and the gender in Abha.\ud \ud \ud Relating to pull factors, the results indicate that there is no significance correlation\ud between pull motivation factors and the educational level with the exception of a\ud significant correlation between the upscale factor and the educational level in Jeddah,\ud and a significant correlation between the activity factor and the educational level in\ud Abha. A significance correlation exists between the upscale factor and the income\ud level in both Jeddah and Abha.\ud \ud There is no significant correlation between pull motivation factors and age in Jeddah.\ud However, there is significant correlation between the activity factor, the beach sports\ud activities factor, the upscale factor and age in Abha. There is no significance\ud correlation between pull motivation factors and gender in Jeddah, except the activity\ud factor. In Abha there is significant correlation between the nature/outdoor factor, the\ud activity factor, the safety factor and gender.\ud \ud \ud The results indicate that educational and income level have no significant correlation\ud with the kind of accommodation, while tourist age and the length of tourist stay have\ud significant and strong correlation with the kind of accommodation. In respect of the\ud family number and the kind of accommodation the result shows that there is a\ud significant correlation between the kind of accommodation and the number of adults\ud and number of children under 11 years group. The study indicates that there is no\ud correlation between the kind of accommodation and the number of children in the 11-\ud 16 years group.\ud \ud \ud The complex interdependent relationships mean that providers of tourist facilities\ud have to have a deep understanding of the motivation of potential markets to provide\ud the required facilities and activities

Treating Tired Eyes: Rejuvenation Using Fillers

A hollowness and saggy are common results of the face’s natural aging process. This can cause an impression of constant tiredness. The fat pouch under the eye moves, leaving a sunken in appearance. However, in some cases, genetic bone structure may leave under the eye hollowness as well. Dermal fillers may be used in order to smooth and fill in the area, decreasing the appearance of dark under eye circles.

Restylane is a natural cosmetic filler Dr. Rokhsar uses to smooth wrinkles and folds.  This is a natural approach to restoring fullness to the areas around the eye. The filler requires virtually no downtime because it is made of non-animal based hyaluronic acid which is a natural sugar in the body that holds in moisture while plumping up the treated area. Restylane can last up to twice as long as collagen injections, which is about six to nine months.

Juvéderm is another hyaluronic acid based filler, ensuring it is a natural approach to enhancing appearance in sensitive areas such as the eyes. Almost 90 percent of all study volunteers who were treated with both Juvéderm injectable gel and competitor dermal filler preferred Juvéderm. The results will last up to a year and results can be appreciated immediately after injection. The treatment only lasts a few minutes, making the whole sessions a lunch-break procedure.

Both fillers are very effective in restoring fullness to the face in order to create a healthier appearance and restore confidence in the eye area. Botox® can also be used in conjunction with fillers in order to create smoother, longer lasting and more dramatic results and has proven most effective in achieving optimal results when used with Restylane.

Dr. Cameron Rokhsar is a fellowship-trained dermatologist and laser surgeon. His extensive training and precision makes him an expert in wrinkle reduction. He is currently practicing in New York City and Long Island

We must, however, as Christ-followers who desire to be Great Commandment Christians living in line with the teaching of Jesus (Mt 22:37-39), love God with our minds as well … To hold a truly Christian worldview means that we seek to think differently about the way we live and love, the way we worship and serve, the way we work to earn our livelihood, and the way we learn and teach.

  • Christians who marvel at the wisdom, power, and creativity demonstrated in God’s handiwork, as the biblical writers and early scientists did, have a strong motive to pursue the sciences even if their colleagues espouse a narrower viewpoint.

    John A. Bloom, PhD, Chair of the Department of Chemistry, Physics, and Engineering at Biola University
  • Jesus, on the other hand, understands that evil is a real problem that cannot be ignored or denied. Death is not just the dance of our DNA. Death is the enemy (1 Cor 15:26). Jesus teaches that evil affects all of us through death (Lk 13:1- 5). And it is Jesus’s confrontation of actual evil that provides a real solution offering hope to mankind.

    Mary Jo Sharp, author, director of Confident Christianity, and professor at Houston Baptist University
  • In the incarnation, in Jesus of Nazareth, the eternal Son of God entered creation. The Creator took on flesh and resided in the world he had made (John 1:14). In so doing, he revealed God to the world and became its Savior (John 1:14-18,29). Christ’s work of redemption is not merely good news for humans. The salvific plan of God is cosmic in scope.

    Glenn R. Kreider, PhD, Professor of Theological Studies at Dallas Theological Seminary
  • A Christian’s attitude toward the elderly is a good indicator of just how much he or she believes the gospel. We care for our infirm parents, not because they parented us well but because they are image-bearers deserving dignity. We respect rather than dismiss our elders because we recognize the good fruit of God’s sanctifying work in giving them wisdom beyond our years. We resist the culture’s worship of youth and sex appeal because we as Christ-followers find our value not in our appearance, but in our status as sons and daughters of the King.

    Daniel Darling, Vice President of Communications at the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention
  • How then should we, who believe that God owns the cattle on a thousand hills, that life does not consist in the abundance of possessions, that we are not our own, that we are not strict owners, but mere stewards of talents, wealth, and grace, who will give to God an account of our stewardship—how should we think about capitalism?

    Walter J. Schultz, PhD, Professor of Philosophy and Scholar-in-Residence at the University of Northwestern
  • The clear message of Scripture is that all believers, wherever they are found, make up a universal entity. Believers present in one local expression of Christian faith are linked to all others in their local settings because all are joined to Christ.

Advanced Tether Tips

(Last Updated On: December 15, 2017)

Chicco NextFit iX top tether storage

Top tethers are essential safety equipment for forward facing car seats.  They’re generally easy to find — they’re connected at the back to the top of your child’s convertible, multimode, or combination car seat.

There are two parts to top tether togetherness.  The top tether anchor on the car seat and the tether anchor on the vehicle itself.

Does finding your car’s tether location make you feel loopy? Check the vehicle manual!

Tether anchors are the second part of this critical car seat equipment! They’re not always so easy to find, and thankfully for that situation we have the vehicle’s manual.

Tether anchor locations 1. Dash Behind Head Restraint
 2. Fabric Loop Tether Anchor in Truck
 3. Center Back of a Bench Seat

Most tether anchors are fairly easy to locate and use.  But like many things in vehicle design, not all tether anchors are created equal.

Finding and using some tether anchors requires a little more time and love than others. We’re here to offer you some advanced tether tips from our staff of busy CPSTs.

Twist the Hook (not the Tether)!

Tether anchors are sometimes recessed in the back of a vehicle seat and surrounded by hard plastic. If the anchor itself is located awkwardly within this hard plastic, hooking the top tether onto the anchor can be a challenge — or even seem impossible at first!

When CPSTs encounter these difficulties, the first trick we try is to rotate the hook of tether a bit. By hooking at an angle and then placing the tether in its proper orientation, we can nearly always finesse a tether into its proper location.

Attach the Tether First

Truck seat folded down to reveal tether location in back wall

This truck anchor is behind the seat: you must attach the tether first, replace the seat and continue with the installation.

To install a forward facing car seat, the first step is usually to attach and tighten the seat belt or lower anchor straps. The tether is usually the second step, only attached and tightened after the seat is properly installed with less than one inch of movement when checked properly at the belt path.But some tether anchors are so hidden that once you have the seat properly installed you can’t get to the tether to attach it.

Ask us how we know this.

For example: many trucks have tether anchors hidden behind the back seat: to install seats in these trucks you need to attach the loosened tether first, replace the seat back, and proceed to install the seat with the seat belt or lower anchors. Once the child restraint is properly tightened, tighten the tether and stow the excess webbing.

This trick can also help in some sedans with tether anchors that are very close to the seat. Some cars have a geometry that makes hooking the tether after the seat is installed nearly impossible because there’s no longer room to fit your arms in. Attaching the tether before installing can sometimes help navigate a very tight spot.

Removing a Stuck Tether while Uninstalling

Preschool aged child pointing to tether with her tongue out

To remove this stuck tether, loosen it first. Silly faces may also help.

Sometimes the hardest part of using a car seat is taking it out. If a pesky forward facing car seat doesn’t want to come out, first detach the seat belt or lower anchors. Then, try this essential tip for tricky tethers that are trying their best to become a permanent feature of your car. Lengthen the tether before attempting to unhook it from the vehicle.

If you’re having trouble adjusting the tether’s length, try lifting the unbuckled car seat just a bit — sometimes this takes two people — to get some slack into the mechanism so that you can lengthen the webbing.

Sometimes extending the car seat’s recline angle or front to back position of the car’s seat can create that little bit of slack that will let you get the tether lengthened and, ideally, removed.

Beware the Cargo Hook!

Not all tether anchors sport clear labels, and not all vehicle manuals are as clear as we’d like, either. Attaching that top tether on the proper anchor for the vehicle seating location you’re using is essential.

Beware! This cargo tie down is NOT a tether anchor. The tether anchor for this car is on the ceiling.

Some cars have cargo tie downs that like to masquerade as tether locations: beware the tricky cargo hook!

Cargo hooks are not tether anchors.  Cargo hooks are not subject to the same standards as tether anchors and they can’t do a tether anchor’s essential job of reducing head excursion during a crash.

So take your time in any new car: read the vehicle manual, look for the child restraint logo, and if you’re having trouble, talk to a CPST to help find your tether anchors before using a forward facing seat.

Last Resort: Twist the Top Tether

In some vehicles the tether only fits when adding an 180 degree twist. This setup is not terribly common, and should only be done once all other avenues are exhausted.  If you’ve come to the point where you think your tether needs a twist, confirm that both the vehicle manufacturer and the car seat manufacturer approve of twisting the tether.  As always, we recommend meeting in person with a CPST for assistance.

V-shaped Tethers and Split Vehicle Seats

Tethers come in different designs: some are fixed to the convertible or combination seat in one place at the top, and some are fixed on either side. These V shaped tethers can sometimes not play well with captain’s chairs and split seat backs.

Combination seat seen from the trunk has a V shaped tether properly attached to the tether anchor in a Honda Pilot

V shaped top tether

To do its job, the top tether needs to be against the vehicle seat back: it can’t fall off the shoulders of the seat.

If you have a car seat that places the tether in one of these awkward locations, first check your vehicle manual.  It may address this situation or tell you to route the tether between the posts of the car’s head restraint.

Here’s another trick: try is the car seat shuffle. Can you swap that seat with another seat in a tether location and solve the problem?

If that’s not an option, some car seat manufacturers have previously approved various ways to solve the problem: contact the car seat manufacturer to see what they approve. And though it’s not a fun outcome, know that not all car seats are compatible with all locations in the car.

We hope that sharing a few tricks from the CPST’s toolbox can help you get those forward facing seats tethered for every trip!  And as always, contact a CPST for help in person: we love to help.

Together We Tether — CPS Week 2017

(Last Updated On: September 22, 2017)

Car seats, child restraints, whatever you call them, here at CSFTL we’re big fans of this life saving technology. So deep is our love that we’ve written love songs to our LATCH manuals and haikus about snowy mornings loading the kids to drive to grandma’s house.

Believe it or not, our idea of a fun Saturday afternoon is helping as many caregivers as possible properly install car seats. As long as we’re fantasizing, we’d like a nice air conditioned garage to do those seat checks in, please.

While we have a healthy (maybe too healthy?) appreciation for car seats in general, we hold a particular spot in our CPST hearts for the top tether. The top tether is essential safety equipment for every forward facing car seat and we’ve worked hard over the years to help caregivers use the tether on every trip. The tether is a simple, elegant technology that saves lives: what’s not to love?

Preschool aged child showing a properly used tether with heart-shaped frame and the text "Child Passenger Safety Week 2017, Together We Tether."

When you look at in the right light, the tether is an ode to cooperation. This seemingly small part of every forward facing seat is a humble reminder that car manufacturers, car seat companies and writers of federal code have all worked together over the last decades to make our cars and our kids safer. We’ve made incredible progress putting these life saving technologies in every car and on every car seat.

This week, we’re focusing on making sure every caregiver can use the top tether for every forward facing child. We’ll be using the hashtag #TogetherWeTether: join us this week for reviews, articles, and giveaways and in a discussion about how we can better help caregivers get those tethers used properly. Together we can put poetry in motion.

Too much? Yeah, we’re OK with that. But get that top tether fastened.

Best CSGO Roulette | Strategy

CSGO Roulette | Strategy

free case bonus code

So as you most likely have heard about, or maybe tried using our promo codes on a gambling site, that most likely has the gamemode “Roulette”. Original roulette is based of 3 colori ( Red, Black, Green ). The payouts are =Red = 2x Black = 2x Green = 14x/16x. Its up to different sites.

On CSGO Gambling you exchange your items ( skins), into site currency. That are not able to get out in real money. And be sure to gamble at your own risk, and be able to afford losing the money you are gambling. There are over 50 CSGO Roulette gambling sites. And more to come.

The payout on green is different from each roulette gamemode or gambling site.. And as you most likely have heard about is that there are different stragegies you can use for win a big amount of money. You might not win all the time, but its worth a try atleast.

The name of all the strategies is:

  1. Martingale Strategy / Double Up System
  2. Alambert Strategy
  3. Fibonacci Strategy
  4. Labouchere Strategy
  5. James Bond

Image result for roulette

CSGO Roulette MartinGale Strategy

This is a system that involves increasing bets after a loss until you get a win. This system can also be called a double down strategy. We mainly use it on red and black. But can be proggressive overall at the table. But as we know, the odds are at a 2x payout. So you never know if there will be 10 reds or 0 reds. This may be abit risky, if its a “Train”. And a train is that if its alot of reds, and no green or blacks. Its all upto the hash in the gamemode. And you can prove if the round were real in the provably fair on the gambling site. And be also sure to read the ToS of using gambling sites.

Example if you lose 10 bets in a row:

1 – 2 – 4 – 8 – 16 – 32 – 64 – 128 – 256 – 512 .

5 – 10 – 20 – 40 – 80 – 160 -320 – 640 – 1280 – 2560 .

7 – 14 – 28 – 56 – 112 – 224 – 448 – 896 – 1792 – 3584 .

CSGO Roulette Alambert Strategy

free case bonus code

The D’Alembert is one of the safest system you can use because while you do increase your bets after a loss, it’s at a much smaller rate than the Martingale. All you do with this system is pick a starting bet, then you increase your bets by one after a loss, and decrease them by one after a win. The theory is that once you have as many wins as losses, you will be in profit by the amount of bets you’ve placed.

Let’s go through a quick example starting with a bet of 10:

  • Bet 2 and loss
  • Bet 3 and loss
  • Bet 5 and win
  • Bet 6 and loss
  • Bet 7 and win
  • Bet 6 and win
  • Bet 5 and loss
  • Bet 6 and win
  • Bet 5 and win
  • Bet 4 and loss

The math will be : 0 – 2 – 3 + 5 – 6 + 7 + 6 – 5 + 6 + 5 – 4 = 9

So if you are going to use this strategy you have to be patient and be risky.

In the above sequence, there is 5 losses and 5 wins but despite this, you are in profit by 9$. So thats it, if you want to have free coins to start with just visit and checkout our codes.

CSGO Roulette Fibonacci Strategy

free case bonus code

The Fibonacci is an interesting roulette strategy because it’s safer than others such as the Martingale but dont care it being safer, there’s still potential for it to win.

it’s a simple math theory where you start with one and add the two previous numbers together to give you the next number.

The thing you do is that you multiply the numbers as you can see below.

1 – 2 – 3 – 5 – 8 – 13 – 21 – 34 – 55 – 89 – 144 – 233

4 – 5 – 9 – 14 – 23 – 37 – 60 – 93 – 153 – 246 – 399 – 645

This is a very smart, but risky strategy. You guys should try it out!! 🙂

CSGO Roulette James Bond (007) Strategy

free case bonus code

The James bond strategyt is a verry simple betting system that you might get alot of profit on.

You need minimum 20$ to start off with. So here is what the strategy goes out on. You have to place 14$ on high numbers, the high number is (19-36), and 5$ on six numbers, (13-18).

And 1$ on the green as a backup. You can also have a look at the picture.

With this strategy you can only lose if it rolls 1-12. Wich is a very low % insted of your winning %. But as said, you never know! Everything is risky in CSGO Gambling.

CSGO Roulette Labouchere Strategy

CSGO Roulette Labouchere Strategy
The Labouchere is a very hard system to use, and this is not the strategy that you should start with.

So what you do is make yourself a “betting line” and the numbers will tell you how much you bet and the length will go some way to dictating how long you will bet. So this is what a simple Labouchere betting line could look like (remember it’s totally up to you, you can change whatever you’d like).

1 – 1 – 1 – 1 – 1 – 1

That’s a very simple betting line that keeps the bets as low as possible. So once you have your line. Using the line above, the left hand number and right hand number added together is 2, so your first bet is 2. If you win, you cross both the left and right hand numbers off your line, so it would now look like this:

1 – 1 – 1 – 1

This is one of the two golden rules with the Labouchere: always cross both left and right hand numbers off your line after a win. Once you’ve crossed the numbers off, you then take the new left and right hand numbers, add them together to give you the next number to bet. You repeat this process until there’s no numbers left in your line. At this point you either quit and walk away, or construct yourself a new line.

What Do You Do After A Loss?

When you lose a bet, you don’t cross any numbers off your line. Instead you add the number that you’ve just bet to the right hand side of your line. So using the above line as an example again, if you lose your first bet of 2, your line would then look like this:

1 – 1 – 1 – 1 – 1 – 1 – 2

Mallorca Day 52 - Tramuntana Tours Cuber Reservoir Walk

I had stopped in at Tramuntana Tours earlier this week and been told that there were no walks going out but they would let me know if that changed. I got an e-mail last night about one today so joined the group at the store front at 10am this morning. There were 7 of us ((3 German, 3 British and the token Canadian) as well as 2 guides. We were driven the 35minutes up to the Cuber Reservoir (where Chris, Chris and I walked a couple of weeks back)
On the map by the parking lot, Vincente pointed out that we would follow the red line below the lake and then to Col de l'Ofre and then walk up to the small pond up by the road at the top of the map. We would climb about 200 metres and the highest point would be 760metres above sea level.
It was cool and occasionally windy but mostly sunny. A day for putting jackets on and off.
The reservoir serves Palma and after passing along the edge
we started heading up to the pass, through pines,  with
steep rocks on each side.

This part of the walk was part of the GR221 which is the main Tramuntana trail from one end to the other.
A cross marks the pass,
on one side you can see Soller and the sea and
on the other, the reservoir and the highest peak with the radar installation on top.
There was a herd of horses at the top but only the donkey and mule were really pushy about their begging behaviour.
The goats stayed well clear.
From here we headed up a less well defined path, marked periodically by stone cairns.
At times it was a bit of a scramble but it was nice to be away for the more popular main trail and
the views
all around
were impressive.
This doesn't look that steep but we were mountain goats coming down here
into a valley between two rocky ridges.
No sound but the wind whistling and the sheep bells tinkling.
It wasn't all stark, craggy rock. This is wild rosemary in bloom and it smelled wonderful if you stepped on some,
and this is Blackthorn in bloom.
Further down the valley we were surrounded by oak trees.
A natural water source protected by stone.
A stone circle where oak wood was converted to charcoal.
Finally the small reservoir, used now by the military base, next to the road and tunnel. From here we were driven home.
We left the store front at 10 and were back by about 3. We had covered 9 kms. The hike had been easy for most of that distance, just a few scrambles and the views had been fantastic.
Wisteria, in abundant bloom, in Port.
Today is Mum's birthday so we went out to dinner at the Kingfisher restaurant at the bottom of our stairs. It was cool and rain in the forecast, so Dad had reserved a table inside (as there only are a few).
Mum started with jumbo shrimp
Dad with potato and leek cream soup
and I had tuna ceviche. We all thoroughly enjoyed our starters.
Mum and Dad both had the grilled fish of the day (sea bream), Dad had fries with his.
I had the Kingfisher salad (greens, julienned apple, walnuts, blue cheese, grilled apple slices, ham crisps and blue cheese dressing) with 2 jumbo shrimp on the side.
Of course there was wine, water, coffee, Mum and I had creme brulee and Dad had tiramisu. Great meal and then the waitstaff sang happy birthday to Mum and everyone in the restaurant applauded.

  1. Glad to see your are still trekking! That dinner looks fabulous!

The Daily Northwestern

Groups dress in top, local fashion to help

Shanika Gunaratna

Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.

Email This Story

The students were prepped to walk like professional runway models: hands back, shoulders up, no smiles, all strut. As they walked down the runway, they showed off Northwestern’s multiculturalism.

NU’s numerous multicultural groups came together for the first UNITY Fashion Show on Jan. 18, just three days before the university’s commemoration of Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday.

“Our goal here is to unite the campus,” said McCormick junior Howard Lee, vice president of the Korean American Student Association and one of the 14 group leaders who put the show together.

The culturally unifying event was co-sponsored by the African Student Association, Chinese Students Association, Korean American Students Association, Kappa Phi Lambda, Muslim-cultural Students Association, Lambda Phi Epsilon, Omega Delta Phi and Thai Club.

Tickets were sold for $5 each and donations were accepted. All proceeds from the show, which was attended by more than 200 people, will go to the International Humanity Foundation, which is a grassroots volunteer organization that runs orphanages and schools in Kenya, Thailand and Indonesia.

The pupils of these schools “come from the poorest of the poor,” foundation volunteer Nylie Afuyog said.

Karen Attiah, president of ASA and an event co-chair, said UNITY decided to give to the foundation because it serves more than one corner of the world.

“It was a truly multicultural, multicontinental group,” Attiah said.

The event’s organizers also chose the foundation because of its unique appeal and because it is still in its beginning stages. In addition, the foundation is an all-volunteer organization, meaning that all donations go toward operation rather than administrative costs.

The show featured mostly first-time models, although a few had runway experience from past student-run fashion shows.

“We tried to get a very diverse group of people because that’s the whole point of (the show),” said Communication sophomore Jane Oh, a member of KASA and an event co-chairwoman.

Weinberg freshman Dana Nickson said she appreciated the show’s diversity.

“It wasn’t the stereotypical American view of how models should look,” Nickson said.

On Friday, the Louis Room in Norris University Center was transformed into a full-blown, high-fashion venue. Flashing lights were emitted not only from moving spotlights, but also from the cameras of friends in the audience. The event also had some celebrity appeal, with reality star 20 Pack of VH1’s “I Love New York 2” fame attending as emcee.

“I’m actually here because I’m part Korean,” joked 20 Pack, while on stage.

The show had a worldly, urban feel. Models walked to the remixed sounds of T-Pain, Kanye West, 50 Cent, Justin Timberlake, Frou Frou and Rihanna, as well as to traditional world music. Diverse NU dance groups – NAYO Dance Ensemble, Graffiti Dancers, Deeva Dance Troupe and Tonik Tap – performed while models transitioned between designers.

The show featured styles from well-known Chicago and New York designers, as well as local Evanston boutiques. Labels included Belmont Army, Lavanya Badrinath, Untitled, Francesca’s Collections, The Things We Love and Andrea Vangna. In a segment called “Fashion Around The World,” ethnic prints were made fresh with modern forms and revealing cuts.

Nikki Okrah, a Weinberg freshman and member of ASA, said she attended the show to support her friends who were involved, as well as “the idea of ‘unity.’ “

“It was good to support people and a good cause at the same time,” she said.

A speck of the blue sky reminds us of hope. Sometimes, life looks bleak and gray. We may struggle to walk to the mailbox or to replenish the empty kitchen cupboards, but one thing is for sure – God knows your pain and struggles. It is my philosophy that deep within everyone, God purposefully created a void in our soul. We may not realize it but by design, biologically, this micro-creation is an endless hole meant to be filled with hope. It drives our faith, nurtures love, and develops compassion.

I found many acronyms for ‘hope’ on the internet, but recently I discovered one explaining the promise of this word perfectly – Holding On with Patient Expectation. How exquisite! This is the essence of Christian life. It is a confident expectation of our future with the Lord knowing we are living effectively in Him, here and now. Without hope, godly living is impossible, and the unrighteousness rules.

Hope pic

Hope is the strength that motivates us and keeps our chin up when you have to go out in the bleary weather; it builds faith. Wake with a smile and start the day with a positive attitude. God’s hope can be life-changing as it helps us to face everyday trials and tribulations. It will give us the power to live courageously knowing He will fulfill our greatest needs.

Hope verse

I hear the birds on the branches in the trees as they whistle a good morning to one another. Even they have hope for bright sunshine while they sing in harmony of God’s love. Hope permeates every creature on earth. Will you allow the hole deep inside you to fill with God’s love and the hope that Jesus will return to heal us? For the Bible says, “He will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair.” (Isaiah 61:3) What is better hope than God?

Dana S. Bicks, a Severna Park, Maryland native, was born a left-handed dyslexic, and falsely labeled "retarded" as a young child. He struggled throughout his life with the disability until the age of sixty. Then one night, a miracle occurred. God, in His infinite grace and wisdom, awoke Dana and demanded him to be a writer of His messages to the world. Shortly after finding humor in God's suggestion, Dana picked up a pen. He began writing, right-handed nonetheless, Christian struggles of life, and prayers ascribed to him by the Lord. In June 2017, Dana and his wife created this inspirational blog which currently maintains 19.6 million readers in twenty-nine countries across the world. It has won multi-awards including a Top 30 Inspirational Blog Websites to follow in 2018 as awarded by Feedspot.com in May 2018. His blog is followed by numerous celebrities, ministries, authors, and people in all walks of life. Only God's hand could allow an unexperienced writer to grow a fellowship of such success in less than a year! Dana Bicks shares these stories in his beautiful books, blogs, and social media platforms. Currently, his newest inspirational book series, "There.... In God's Grace", Round the Bay, is scheduled to be released in the summer of 2018. Dana’s creative, talented writing can only be heaven sent!
