The peaceful passing of our beloved grandmother, Mak Cheng Hai, on July 2, 2015 marks the end of era in our family. She was 103.
|Our grandma, Mak Cheng Hai (1912 - 2015)
As the family matriarch, gran was a strong influence in our lives. In the hours after the news about her passing was shared, Facebook savvy family members posted thoughts and comments along with poignant photos of gran. I share some of them here as a fitting tribute to our deal old gran.
Cousin, Eva Ng, posted: Our beloved 103 year old grandmother left in peace today to meet our grandfather. She may have held the hands of many grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great grandchild for a while, but she will hold our hearts forever. We miss you, Ah Mah.
Cousin, Gillian Choo, posted: Until we meet again, our dearest and beloved Ah Mah. Simply a legend!
Cousin, Malcolm Ng, posted: Mak Cheng Hai (1912 – 2015). Mother of 11, grandmother of 30, great-grandmother of 31 and great-great-grandmother of one! She was a remarkable woman!
Farewell, Grandma! Special thanks to two exceptional Loh & Choo families who generously and graciously gave her a home for the past 30 years! Special thanks also to Aunty Eng and Uncle Mok for their continuous and unfailing support!

and 103-year old grandma
My sister, Ruby Loh, commented: My mother's mother, my grandmother, my children's great-grandmother and my grandchild's great-great-grandmother. Champion!
Cousin, Shaun Mok, posted: You will be dearly missed (1912 – 2015). The Matriarch, my beloved Ah Mah, my moral compass… You've lived through the invention of the TV from Black & White to 3-D. What a champion! Love you Ah Mah.
Niece, Amanda Loh, posted: Twenty years back with Lau-Ma [the Teochew term for great-grandmother]. She's watching her great-grand-daughter running away!
How awesome to have grown up with her and listened to her stories on how she survived the war and many more exciting (and disturbing) stuff. I'm glad that we were able to celebrate her 103rd birthday a few weeks ago. You are dearly missed, Lau-Ma.
One of our Filipina helpers who cared of gran, Lura, posted: I will miss you Nenek of Malaysia!
|Amanda [Right] with her great-grandmother
I have a special bond with gran because she lived with our family for almost 20 years after our grandfather or Ah Kong, Ng Ngoh Tee, passed away some 35 years ago. As she advanced in age, the caring became more challenging and a live-in helper was engaged for an extra pair of hands to help mum with gran.
Eight years ago, the reins were passed to mum's sister, Aunty Polly and her husband Uncle Steven who cared for gran with the support of Aunty Sylvia and her husband Uncle Mok. We often say in jest that gran is so blessed with award-wining sons-in-law because they are a special breed of sons-in-law who got on very well with their mother-in-law and who treated her like their own mother.
In 2012, we celebrated gran's 100th birthday with a grand celebration and I had the privilege to feature our gran in a cover story, The Real Champion, in Life & Times, New Sunday Times. After her 100th birthday, every day was a bonus and we made it a point to celebrate gran whenever she had any visitors.
|Another birthday with gran!
Gran had a form of dementia that manifested in a pattern of a few high days when she would be alert and chattering non-stop that alternated with a few low days when her battery was probably flat and being recharged, and she would be sleepy and quiet.
On her low days, she had to be awakened for meals and fed blended food but on her high days, gran could be very demanding and challenging. She could sometimes eat food by herself, ask a lot of questions, even insist on holding a small torch and keep it flashing [playing in a child-like way!] throughout the night!
When our aunts mastered the skills of handling smartphones, we had the privilege of "live" updates on gran, not only through photos but also with videos. Very often they are poorly focused but we got the idea and enjoyed live views of what's happening with gran.
Our aunts are crazy practical jokers and they often have fun with gran on her high days. They sent countless videos and I remember a hilarious one that showed gran with an old [land line] telephone and they urged gran to make a call to Ah Kong! And gran was heard saying, "Hello, hello!"
|Grandma and grandfather - a couple who played badminton together and raised a family of champions!
In spite of her age, gran is remarkably healthy and does not suffer from any heart disease, high-blood pressure or diabetes. She was just old. Lina, one of my friends, often asks me, "What's her secret?"
During our early school-going years, my brother, sisters, cousins and I lived with our grandparents at No. 154 Jalan Ngee Heng where we were trained by gran to be responsible for specific household chores – sweeping (indoor and outdoor), washing dishes, polishing silver (trophies!), folding clothes and even cleaning up dog poop!
|Gran could hold the cup and drink by herself!
We all enjoyed her cooking and agree that diet played a big part in building up gran's core strength. We can never forget how gran used to make her own cooking oil from pure animal fat and cooked huge meals to feed the family. In those days, there was no such thing as keeping a close watch on high cholesterol levels!
Gran had the Cantonese tradition of preparing slow-boiled soups from fresh ingredients in deep pots boiling on charcoal or kerosene stoves, to nourish bodies of growing grand-children and her children who had daily badminton training. This regular habit of drinking good soups may have contributed to building up gran's healthy core strength.
Since late last year gran's health was on the decline and she took a turn for the worse early this year. As she became more helpless, a nursing agency was engaged to assign day-care nurses for professional help to manage gran. At first, the nurses came to the house in two shifts but as Aunty and our live-in helper acquired some skills in handling gran, the nursing care was reduced to only one morning shift.
|Still drinking by herself on 102nd birthday!
The nurses naturally established a bond with gran, who was always good natured. One of the most heart-warming video's that Aunty shared was a video taken on June 21 with nurse Khadijah. As usual after feeding gran her breakfast, they would interact with her – chatting or just counting numbers in sequence. Last year, gran could count up to 99 in English and Malay and sometimes, even in Mandarin!
In this video, gran's eyes were closed but her mind was very alert. The nurse spoke into her good ear to ask gran, "What is your name?" to which gran replied clearly in a complete sentence, "My name is Mak Cheong Hai (name pronounced in her own dialect).
The videographer – Aunty, I presume – reacted in surprise (the screen shook!) when gran promptly asked the nurse, "Now, what is your name?" The nurse choked back a laugh and replied into gran's ear, "Khadijah!" Gran responded with surprise at the unfamiliar name but the videographer stopped filming and was probably laughing too much!
It's sad that less than two weeks later, she would be gone. But gran has lived a long and eventful life and her 103-year old heart must be so tired. She deserves a good rest now.
|Mak Cheng Hai (1912 - 2015)
Complying with gran's wishes, she will have a grand send-off in a 5-day wake with all the trimmings. The Chinese have an interesting tradition where the passing of those aged 100 and above is a celebration. Instead of wearing somber colours for mourning, the family should be wearing red and bright colours!
At the funeral parlour, our family is attracting a great deal of attention, dressed in different shades of red, orange and flowered clothes in honour of our dear gran. Even as I write, relatives are arriving from North and East Malaysia, Singapore, Australia and the UK to join us in JB for a family reunion and celebration of gran's life that will culminate with a grand send-off.
Gran, my beloved por-por, you were an exceptional homemaker, wife, mother, sister, aunt, grandmother, great-grandmother and great-great-grandmother. Thank you for the valuable life's lessons and the priceless legacy you have given us. We love and miss you gran. Rest in peace.

The sounds of another icon turning to dust
4 comments:
Hmmm I think you are a little confused here boyo.
It was Thatcher and subsequently Major who closed the mines. Had the miners won they would have kept more mines open and we wouldn't have rocketing energy prices and discussions about fuel security. Probably the whole shape of modern Britain would have been different too. Less HR experts for a start, but I am wandering into my own personal fantasy there.
The similarity with the post "modernisation" is that the proposals are really about ripping the guts out of an institution that serves us well and allowing people to make more profits out of it at the cost of the workers and the service users. As someone who in their work uses couriers such as TNT regularly, we will soon miss the post as it was. We have already lost the second post. I look forward to your comments when you get your modernised post office. Remember how we used to moan about British Rail until they privatised it? Still I'm sure my massively more expensive rail travel pays for more HR experts.
The posties are fighting to defend a publicly owned, democratically controlled post office, where you have a chance of get your post the next day for under 40p and you have a chance of knowing your postie, rather than having some agency worker who will leave your letters in a dustbin 8 miles away.
Victory to the postal workers!

- HRD said...
@Ministry of Truth - Or should it be "Ministry of hopeless idealism"? My point is not that we shouldn't have public ownership - not at all. My point is that the strike will prove counter productive (as it did in the case of the miners). It doesn't have broad public support and in addition will provide an incoming Tory Government with an early opportunity to show its teeth. History will show who's right. But if I were you, I'd buy some shares in TNT......
- 14 October 2009 at 11:54
I'll just hope my stakeholder pension manager takes your advice on the shares! If striking is counter-productive what do you suggest they do? You might want to look at what has happened recently at Tower Hamlets College where striking has beaten back some of the cuts that were proposed.
- 14 October 2009 at 13:52
I see Mandy and Crozier have their Ridley plan. Maybe you should lay the blame for the strike there, not with the workers.

I had some help along the way.
I then put a safety pin on each corner of the pillow and began sewing my little heart out.
It actually wasn't so bad just time consuming. Once I had three sides sewed together I ironed the fabric then turned it inside out. I then stuffed my old pillow in the new case. This was the trickiest part sewing the rest of the case shut around the pillow. I ended up safety pinning my case together while I sewed so I could produce a nice clean line. After I made three new pillow covers using my old pillows as stuffing, I grew brave a bought a bag of Poly-Fil for less than $4.00 to make my own pillow using my own dimensions. This turned out just as well! I love my new pillows. The new patterns have spruced up my couch and actually my whole living room. This was a quick and cheap change! Now I just need to learn how to sew zippers in so I can interchange the pillow covers on a whim!

Small Art
Smallness in visual art evokes images of exotic Persian miniatures, an exquisitely rendered Chinese fan, a page from an illuminated manuscript, and sumptuously painted portraits on ivory. Gems such as these are more intimate than art admired from afar. They can be possessed and held close to the heart.
But even if small art is not possessed but only shared by their private owners or seen through the glass in a museum collection, they charm and fascinate. The delicacy and intimate scale of these works exerts a hold upon the viewer from behind their glass cases that is quite distinct from that of larger scale works. The consummate care and skill with which an artist rendered images for private use and for which he would consequently perhaps never hear public accolades is enchanting. Modest, lovely, and desirable - small artworks are exciting for prodding the psyche into believing that having is within the realm of the possible.
I have always been charmed by small art - netsuke, snuff bottles, Persian and Indian miniatures, small ivories. It is a sentiment that was never entirely erased by a culture that prefers big and loudly broadcasted statements of art to these tiny whispered secrets. I sometimes prefer the larger works too, but I hold a place in my heart and in my home for smallness.
The two works I have posted today are miniature paintings numbers twenty and twenty-one (the computer was unavailable for uploads yesterday) of my daily work on the "Thirty-three Days of the Puma" series. I was thinking of Persian miniatures and British ivory paintings when I made them. Although these paintings are not nearly as skilled as the works that influenced them, they still, I hope, hold something of their spirit. They are tiny - just three and a half inches tall by five inches long. To paint them I used a Chinese brush made for miniature silk paintings. Since I was trained by a master silk painter in China, I do at least know something of the brush work that is required to accomplish the long sinuous lines. These are particularly evident in the tethers on the big cat at the top.

BOSTON (CBS) – Anyone here who doesn't want to see our government do everything they can to keep foreign terrorists who want to kill Americans out of the country? I didn't think so, that's a no-brainer.
But President Trump's executive order of a temporary ban on refugees from certain predominantly-Muslim countries has turned out to be a no-brainer in a different sense – a move lacking proper thought and preparation.
The president's people claim their Friday afternoon edict, which touched off confusion and well-publicized cases of bad judgement within a poorly-prepared immigration bureaucracy, is no different from a move the Obama administration made a few years ago after an Iraqi refugee was implicated in a domestic terror plot.
But that's not true.
There was never a refugee ban, just a slowdown while vetting procedures were tightened.
More to the point, even that action by Obama resulted in the same sort of bureaucratic screw-ups we've been seeing the past few days – innocent refugees barred from flights, others removed from planes, families thrown into a state of chaos and fear.
Immigration is one of our country's most volatile political issues, always has been. The presence of criminals and potential terrorists among those trying to come here is a serious issue that should be dealt with seriously and with high priority.
But the Trump White House hasn't yet made the transition from campaigning to governing.
True governing would have meant waiting for the well-qualified new Homeland Security Secretary, Gen. John Kelly, to take office and work out implementation details of the refugee ban. Instead, we got a rushed, politicized mess.
Jon – Where's your outrage at Obama sticking his nose in and stirring the pot? Sure he's an American citizen and entitled to voice his opinions, but as ex-President, he not really like the rest of us and if he had an ounce of class, he'd keep his mouth shut right not. Why isn't anyone calling on him to be quiet and let Trump govern? Extend the same courtesy to Trump that was extended to him by Bush and all the previous administrations.
And talk about impulse control! As a representative of CBS and this trash station WBZ, you jump and respond to every word that Trump says. You may try to be civil but the rest of your colleagues do not – they incite violence and act as if they are his marionettes. It's almost comical watching you make fools of yourselves. You all act as though this immigration EO is a huge surprise, even though Trump has said exactly what he was going to do, over and over for the last year! Here's a tip: to avoid future surprise and shock, reread everything he said he was going to do. Then you won;t be surprised when he issues his next EO. Expect it.
You are right too Steve – Obama should never have stuck his nose in, but what I've come to expect from him. And I expect Democrats to excuse the same behavior or worse in Obama that they would criticize Trump for. What other past President did anything similar to that? What past President would not criticize Obama for it?
I agree, that the opposition to Trump has become out of control. And there has been nothing fair about the criticism. But, Trump has also made things worse by the way he has gone about things. If Democrats had gotten into office and in a week's time had made so many executive orders, that went against the grain of half the country, Trump supporter's would be screaming their heads off too. Fair is fair.
Party politics is going to be our undoing. The polarization has gotten to the point, where people on both sides of the aisle are perfectly content to force their views on the other side instead of working things out and compromising. It's not just the politicians who are wrong and headed in the wrong direction, so are all American voters.

Goodness, how I enjoyed working with Braden. This young man is a stud to the core. His voice and mannerisms are all a turn on, he's got a hot face, and his body is utterly amazing. He's completely ripped and wonderfully defined, which is quite amazing given his height. For guys that are very tall - which Braden is - it can take quite a lot of work and some great genes to have a stellar body. And Braden's body is entirely stellar! Being quite the athlete has shaped Braden's bod into something definitely worth drooling over.
But his great qualities don't quit with the body alone! As you'll see in this video, when he pulls down those shorts he's packing way more than just a great chest and arms! This guy's got a dick that'll blow you away! 9.5 inches of dick, to be precise! Ah, those tall guys!
Ripped bod, hot face, huge dick? That's good stuff right there And he knows how to work that big dick too, stroking himself off and really getting into it, showing off that big piece of meat and then blowing a huge load all over his defined chest!

The Path
Bushes grew along the wall of an unused research facility. The grounds were perfectly tended. If you walked inside the bushes, the brick wall would turn to primrose hedges and the path would never end. Forward and back could take days. The path was a strange secret. You were drawn to walk it or going to forget about it.
One time Jessie walked from morning until sunset, slept on the chill path, and came back to tell Skyler stories of flickering lights dancing in a patchy mist just on the other side of the bushes. Jessie nearly got suspended for missing a day of school because two days on the path had turned into three. Summer vacation came, and Jessie felt an itch to show the lights to Skyler.
"Let's hike in for two nights. See if we're gone five days." Skyler said.
Jessie carried the food, Skyler the sleeping bags. The two of them hiked into the marsh, to the building, to the path, and set out. In a few minutes, the brick turned to hedges, and the two walked for hours. Jessie wanted to kiss, Skyler wanted more. Because Skyler asked sweetly, Jessie and Skyler went all the way. The two dressed as the sun set while strange white lights danced beyond the bushes.
Jessie thoughtlessly mouthed off an idea. "Has anybody stepped through the bushes, I wonder?"
"Off the path? Let's try it."
Skyler clung to Jessie and stepped between the trunks of two bushes. The path was lost to misty forest and flickering lights. The lights grew into Fay: Dark skinned hume with unruly hair that flew on clear wings of light. The Fay were beautiful, sexual, kind. Skyler and Jessie could not feel fear. The two lived, loved, and died in an orgy engrossing body and mind. When they woke, Jessie and Skyler dug through the dried bone of their once warm skulls. Children of the Fay on wings of light, the two were never to part again.

Ate at Pho Mai on Main Street in Middletown tonight with a great bunch of dancers attending the Liz Lerman Dance Experience workshop at Wesleyan University this week. They were looking for a cheap [and good] place to eat so I suggested Pho Mai.
We started with three orders of Spring Roll; two Vegetarian and one Pork.
Most of us had Pho [great bowls of 'build it yourself' soup]. Each bowl came with a side of basil, bean sprouts, chiles and lime. A tray of condiments with hot sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce and soy sauce was on the table with the chopsticks and soup spoons. I had the large order of Shrimp Pho.
There was one order of Rice Pancake which I will definitely order next time. One other order of a Tofu Stir Fry looked good also. An order of Stir-fry Vegetables rounded out the food at our table.
They don't have a liquor license but you can bring in wine or beer [from the package store down the street]. The other table did just that. We had water and fresh squeezed Salty Lemonade.
The winners were the freshness of the ingredients and the Salty Lemonade.

1-304 To Captain Claude M. Adams, June 3, 1932
To Captain Claude M. Adams1
June 3, 1932 Fort Benning, Georgia
Dear Captain Adams:
I am going to ask you to be kind enough to make some preliminary arrangements before Mrs. Marshall's arrival at Screven. She will probably leave here with the three children on the morning of June 13th, though she may leave earlier if it becomes too hot here. In any event I will telegraph you twenty-four hours in advance.
I would appreciate your securing the items on the attached list and having them in the house, as well as the Muir's maid and a striker available.2
If Mrs. Marshall leaves here in the morning she should reach Screven in the middle of the afternoon, and I would like to have the maid and the various things in the house ready for her. I propose sending over a bedding roll by express in order to provide the sheets and blankets.
I know you were good enough to tell her that you and Mrs. Adams will be glad to have her stay with you, or at least take her meals with you. Both of us appreciate this very much, but considering the size of the family, the fact that the maid is already available, the house empty and waiting, and the Quartermaster can usually furnish beds, mattresses, etc., she feels it better to establish herself from the first and enjoy your hospitality later.
I will probably leave here the 15th or 16th, depending on how soon I can make my departure after the van with my household goods has left.
I was very glad to arrange to have my orders changed to June from July. Now nothing interferes with my transfer.
Faithfully yours,

as Rose DeWitt Bukater in TITANIC (1997)
In 1996, Brock Lovett and his team explore the wreck of Titanic, searching for a diamond necklace called the Heart of the Ocean. They recover Caledon Hockley's safe, believing the necklace to be inside, but instead find a sketch of a nude woman wearing it, dated April 14, 1912. An elderly woman named Rose Dawson Calvert calls Lovett and claims that she is the woman depicted and she visits him and his team on his salvage ship. Asked if she knows about the necklace, Rose recalls her time aboard the Titanic...
"And all the while I feel like I'm standing in the middle of a crowded room, screaming at the top of my lungs, and no one even looks up."
- Rose DeWitt Bukater
Kate Winslet received her second Oscar nomination and first in the best actress category playing the iconic Rose DeWitt Bukater, a 17 year-old, forced into an engagement with a 30 year-old man, who embarks on the Titanic, as a first-class passenger, and falls in love with Jack Dawson, a third-class passenger. Kate Winslet brings a lot of authenticity to her character: she works hard on her posture, on her American accent, on her way to speak, her way to stand. We never doubt that she's from a rich aristocracy family. Her performance is a lot more substantial that what we might think. Kate Winslet manages to transcend the screenplay and adds a lot of complexity to her character. Rose is a character full of contradictions: vulnerable and brave, tamed and rebellious, lovely and cold.
Kate makes us easily feel that her character is struggling, she wants to explore and adventure the world, but she feels that's not going to happen. Through the movie, Rose completely transforms herself thanks to the talent of Kate Winslet. From the chained and lonely girl, she turns herself into this determined and independent young woman, who dreams of freedom, even if she has to leave her family behind, allowing Kate to use her emotions and her talent. She is torn apart between her sense, about what she owes to her family, and her feelings, her unconditional love for Jack. Thanks to Kate and her performance, we can definitely relate to her. In all the scenes when the ship is sinking, she's great, full of emotions, torn between despair, pain, relief, fear. It's very physical and Kate brings so much intensity and acting in these very difficult scenes to shoot. The physically and mentally chemistry between Rose and Jack, played wonderfully by Leonardo DiCaprio (probably the best actor of his generation) is undeniable. The relation is strong and powerful. The love and the attraction between them seem so real, vivid, pure but also very sensual. It's very rare to see two actors having such a beautiful chemistry. The "I'm flying" scene is their best scene and certainly one of the most iconic in film's history.
"A timeless epic that gets me every time, the power of the storytelling and the performances by Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio grip throughout."
- Daily Express
It's not easy to shine in a film in which the story itself is the massive and main actor, but Kate Winslet does her best (despite the writing which is far from perfect) and brings some intensity and authenticity to the epic-disaster-drama film Titanic. In a very demanding and challenging role, She manages to give a very captivating, overwhelming and poignant performance.

As long as our needs are being met, we don't think much about what we need. But when something is lacking, we may suffer physical, mental or emotional discomfort, and have no idea what's causing those feelings. Sometimes we suffer without question.
Our body will tell us what's going on, but just feeling the discomfort isn't enough. We have to stop and pay attention to hear our body's message. There have been times when I was in a bad mood for several days. I felt lousy and wanted to feel better, but didn't think to question what was going on inside. Finally when I did, an aha discovery led to ways to fill a need I was missing. Now I try to pay more attention to what may be lacking. Sometimes, just a hug is the answer.
No one has a perfect situation--life isn't perfect--but we can do our best to assure that we have what we need each day to live a healthy, happy life. How can you fix an uncomfortable situation if you don't understand what's lacking? It's like having an itch, but you don't know where to scratch. Is the stress coming from being tired or hungry? From worry over a life problem? From feeling angry or lonely? From feeling distant from your Higher Power? Well maybe you need rest or food, or to clear your mind and see something more realistically, or your emotional state needs attention, or you need to renew connection with the one you know as the Voice inside. Once you identify the lack, you can address the situation and your response to it.
Most of the time, all we need is a minor change in a present situation, but it's wise to periodically take a good look at our overall life style and see if a change is needed there. However, finding ways to satisfy each sense of lack as it arises can sometimes create a whole new perception of a larger picture. Life itself will look better. The little things won't nag as much, and you may find joy you didn't know was there.
Be good to yourself. You're worth it.

MDR, -1.51% following which we have published a free report that can be viewed by signing up at http://protraderdaily.com/optin/?symbol=MDR. The Company announced on July 03, 2017, that it has entered into a 5-year Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with $810 million of capacity for letters of credit and $300 million revolving cash submit. Also, the agreement allows for current or new lenders to increase commitment, up to a total of $1.0 billion.

At Pro-TD, we make it our mission to bring you news that matter about the stock you follow. Today, our research desk covers a blog story on MDR. Go directly to your stock of interest and access today's free coverage at:
The Announcement
This amended and restated facility, according to the Company will replace McDermott's previous $450 million Credit Agreement which was dated April 16, 2014, and will extend the maturity until 2022, subject to the case that McDermott's existing senior secured notes are repaid by December 2020. In conjunction with the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, the Company repaid the outstanding Term Loan, in full, under the previous Credit Agreement.
McDermott operates in over 20 countries across the world and delivers engineering, procurement, construction, and installation (EPCI) services for upstream field developments worldwide. The Company views the announcement of the increased limit of the facility, and the $300 million revolving cash sub-limit, as well as the extended maturity, as a step to reinforce its financials. The increased facility capacity, according to the Company, delivers a simplified capital structure, increased balance sheet flexibility, and positions it for future growth.
Updated Guidance
The Company recently announced its Q1 FY17 results on April 25, 2017, where net revenue for the three-month period ended March 31, 2017, was $519.4 million lower than the $729.0 million reported in Q1 FY16. The Company also updated its FY17 guidance, where it forecasted revenues of $3.2 billion for full-year FY17. Net operating income for FY17 is expected to be $265 million, against the previously forecasted $265 million. The Company attributed the increased profitability and cash flow to closeouts from project executions in Q1 FY17 and customer-driven change orders awarded in the quarter.
Company Growth Prospects
On June 05, 2017, the Company announced that it was awarded an EPIC contract from BP Trinidad & Tobago, LLC, for the Angelin gas field, located 25 miles off the east coast of Trinidad and Tobago. This EPIC contract followed the successful completion of a multi-phase engineering contract, under which the Company initially delivered pre-front-end engineering design (pre-FEED), front-end engineering design (FEED), and pre-execution engineering contracts. McDermott, under terms of the contract, agreed to deliver a turnkey EPIC solution to design, procure, fabricate, transport, install, and commission a six-slot wellhead platform and 26-inch (66 centimeters) subsea pipeline using its project management and engineering team in Houston.
The Company announced on March 08, 2017, that it plans to construct offshore production solutions in Saudi Arabia. The Company signed a MoU with Saudi Aramco for a long-term land lease at the new maritime facility at Ras Al Khair in Saudi Arabia, currently being developed by Saudi Aramco. The Company additionally plans to build a new fabrication and marine complex expected to use state-of-the-art facilities, increased automation, and an optimized layout, so as to increase abilities to service in its growing presence in the Middle-East and Caspian markets.

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Let's take a look at some of the Good Things in the news...
A little girl in Colorado is learning a very adult lesson of how to turn lemons into lemonade. Jane Poole has set up a lemonade stand to raise money after she was diagnosed with acute leukemia last winter. Even with health insurance, Jane's family needs more money as the costs began stacking up. So Jane started the stand and business has been great. Yesterday, even the local police department motorcycle squad came by to cool off.
A new daredevil is coming to this year's Kaneohe Bay Air Show. Aerobatic pilot Jacquie B. Warda launched into the air show circuit at the age of 50 and has been wowing crowds ever since. She and her patriotic "Red Eagle Pitts" aircraft will join the Blue Angels on September 25th and 26th. The air show is celebrating 100 years of aviation in Hawaii. The show is free and open to the public.
Quick! What's a an eight letter word for $10,000? Scrabble! Right now hundreds of word wizards are in Dallas, Texas at the National Scrabble Championships. Contestants play between 40 and 50 games in hopes of becoming one of two finalists who will battle it out later today for the championship and $10,000.

I've never really understood how a flood works. How can all that water just appear so quickly? How can you not realize what is happening and get out before it is too late? Houses and things will get destroyed, okay, but people downing? How does that happen?
Friday night seemed to be a normal night here. I listened to a sermon with my housemates, we watched a movie through headphones because the rain was too loud to hear the TV, and then I went to bed. It rains often in the night, I didn't think anything of it. Until the next morning when I got on Facebook and saw pictures of a restaurant we eat at occasionally on Sundays filled with water up to table height. And a school bus parked outside one of the bus stations underwater up to its windows. In the night, while I slept peacefully to the sound of rain, it flooded in Siguatepeque. People were forced out of their homes in the middle of the night. A family of seven that one of the missionaries here knows, drown. A video was posted of water rushing into the restaurant that was flooded, and it is crazy to see how fast the water rises, and how fast it moves.
And this morning, a realization came to me. This is exactly how sin works in our lives. It starts as a little "rain" that may seem harmless, and suddenly you find yourself drowning in the midst of a flood, wondering how you got there, how it got so bad so quick. I know I have had moments like that, and I've heard stories recently of other people who could probably relate, too. Luckily, God is a good weatherman, and "No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it." (1 Corinthians 10:13). If we are looking for that way out when the flood rains of sin are coming down, we can trust that God has provided it.
That's my random thought for the day. If you would like to help with the relief effort here, one of the missionaries has started a Go Fund Me page and is partnering with local churches to help out families who were affected by the flood. You can donate here: https://www.gofundme.com/z86men6k
Thanks for all you do. Our city covets your prayers. As I write this, it has started raining again. Please pray for God to hold back the rain so we can recover from the flooding.

Stay in Touch wherever you are with the Samsung Ch@t 222
Double up your life with Dual SIM functionality
Samsung's Ch@t222 is specifically designed for the African Market, coming with DUOS so users can access dual SIM cards for more convenient calling, better savings and better network coverage. It comes with all the social tools to connect with friends, including the likes of Facebook, Twitter, Push IM and email.
"Dual-SIM handsets provide the convenience of two cell phones with a one-mobile solution," says George Ferreira, VP and COO of Samsung Electronics SA. "This feature is especially convenient for those who wish to separate business and personal calls using two separate phone numbers, as well as those who travel frequently and want a local number for each location. What's more, users can switch between SIM cards easily and without needing to reboot the mobile device. Switching-SIM-card commands are obeyed with a tap of the finger - the use of dual SIM cards has never been easier or more intuitive."
The Entertainer
What's more, Samsung's Ch@t222 is always on hand to entertain you as it comes with fun options for downtime at work, while commuting, on weekends or any other free time. Listen to your favourite tunes without needing a separate music player! This mobile even comes with a 3.5mm ear jack so you can use your favourite earphones without needing an adaptor! And with Samsung Apps, you can download a variety of entertaining apps from fun games to lifestyle apps to fill up your free time! The Samsung Ch@t 222 also comes in selectable colours – black, grey, silver and wine – for expressive lifestyles.
The Socialiser
Staying social does not mean staying put. Samsung's Ch@t222 lets you keep in touch with friends, family and business associates through popular social networking methods, instant messaging programs, and email - all on the go via your mobile phone. Email accounts can be set up easily so you can check for urgent emails without needing a PC.
What's more, with Ch@t 222 you can create the conversation and keep chatting with Samsung ChatOn – a free cross platform Instant Messaging (IM) service. Currently available in 120 countries and in 62 different languages, ChatOn is an ideal IM tool for those who want to stay instantly connected to colleagues, friends and family, irrespective of mobile device. Samsung ChatOn is easy to use and comes standard with 3 exciting and creative tabs that allows you to gain the most from your IM experience. These include:
• Buddies – create a list of contacts and even make your own favourites list. Buddies are sorted alphabetically and this tab comes with a search function, making it easier to find the contact you are looking to chat to. ChatOn also synchronises with your address book automatically – so all your existing contacts who are already registered on ChatOn are instantly available.

God Bless the School D.L. Moody Founded
God bless the school that D.L. Moody Founded;
Firm may she stand, tho' by foes of truth surrounded!
Riches of grace bestowed may she never squander,
Keeping true to God and man her record over yonder.
As two more Redeemer youth made their way to Chicago to attend Moody Bible Institute. We now have three young people attending MBI.
Moody is a baptistic, dispensational bible college, but not hostile to students who aren't. Further, Moody's faculty is largely reformed as it relates to soteriology (the doctrine of salvation). The benefits of attending Moody outweigh any of the negatives, I'd go there again in a second and would be very happy to send my sons there in the future.
Anyways, it was exactly 20 years ago this week that Nathan and I left the confines of Western New York to embark upon our Moody experience. I'll never forget driving in to Chicago and seeing the mighty Sears Tower knowing I would gaze upon it for the next 4 years.
My time at Moody was exceptionally formative. It was at Moody that God confirmed His call upon me to preach and pastor. It was at Moody that I made friends with whom I still fellowship. It was at Moody where I learned the bible, it's original language, and how to teach and preach it. It was at Moody where I saw the rough side of life and sin, being downtown Chicago near Cabrini Green (terrible "project" where drugs and gangs reigned) and working in an inner city church opened my eyes. It was at Moody where I developed a passion for world missions. It was at Moody where I met Coach Joe Harding, my soccer coach and personal mentor and encourager to this day. It was at Moody where I was introduced to the PCA through Covenant Presbyterian Church. It was at Moody where I met my helpmate and best friend, Shari.
Indeed, God bless the school that D.L. Moody founded!!

Sounds kind of corny, but you know me, I had tears in my eyes as I read of your passionate, fond memories. When Cheri and I first came to Redeemer; hearing yours and Nathans moving stories and experiences during your undergraduate work at Moody, inspired me to get the book on the life and legacy of D.L. Moody, authored by Lyle Dorsett, "A Passion for Souls." What an amazing humble story of a poorly educated, uncomplicated shoe salesman who became fully and wholly committed to his passionate calling, sharing the Gospel of Christ to everyone and anyone who would listen. No doubt Moody was the most visionary and noted evangelist of all the 19th century saints. But this passion didn't stop after his crusades, he was instrumental in helping all who would, get a education, first learning to read, using the Bible was his basic primer. His story, and the millions who have come to faith in Christ, directly or indirectly, because of his passion for souls will live forever. Moody was led to Christ by his Sunday School youth teacher, Edward Kimball , J. Wilbur Chapman came to faith at a Dwight L. Moody evangelistic meeting; and flamboyant evangelist, Billy Sunday was converted at a Chapman meeting. Billy Sunday was instrumental in leading Mordecai Ham to the Lord. Then at a North Carolina tent meeting in 1934, under the powerful, fiery Hell-fire and brimstone preaching of Mordecai Ham, Billy Graham heard the simple message of the Gospel. This great University, including the blessed legacy that Pasor's Nathan and Tony will leave, takes me to this powerful verse from Eugene Peterson's "The Message": "No one's ever seen or heard anything like this, never so much as imagined anything quite like it; what God has arranged for those who love Him." I Corinthians 2: 9

Our own senior is contemplating MBI, or Wheaton ... or Southwest Baptist. We'd be happy if she chose Moody as it is indeed a fine school. However, the excellent education you received there is a distance second to the real prize God blessed you with in Shari. Blessings on you this week.

I visited Moody many years ago to see the school and a friend who was going there. Great school. The city was interesting. My friend fit right in.
It was snowing in March. I went to Multnomah, in Portland, Oregon.
Met my wife there.
It rained in March, and just about every other month I was there. I guess weather should not be a deciding factor.
I value my Multnomah education, but just have to wonder at spending the last twenty years in jail. Shouldn't an education like that keep you out of jail? ;)
I am, indeed, thankful for Moody, the man and the school. Great treasures, both. Thanks for the reminder.

Praise God that Moody led both you and Nathan to Covenant Theological Seminary where you truly learned to be "Rooted in Grace for a lifetime of Ministry." and on any given Sunday preach in all the sermons I have been blessed to hear In Omnibus Ipse Primatum Tenens "That in all things He (Christ) might have the preeminence." (Colossians 1:16-18)along with Shari being your wife an added bonus with her Kansas roots brought the Grand Island Boy to the land of Oz and Redeemer. Praise God indeed!

Yep David, that's the one. David Williams had a profound impact on me, particularly by his counsel for me to go to Covenant Seminary. Wonderful man of God.

I wouldn't necessarily describe MBI as baptistic.

Fresh Harvest at the Ocean State Oyster Festival
Last weekend, Edible Rhody ventured to the inaugural (and hopefully annual) Ocean State Oyster Festival, held at the scenic Riverwalk Park in Providence. As September's blue sky and sunshine bathed Oyster Fest attendees, we collected our six oyster tickets and two drink tickets at the entrance and strolled into the Fest. Large tents, packed with oyster purveyors and shellfish enthusiasts, lined the Riverwalk Park, complemented by food trucks parked along the river roadway.
Our tickets allowed us a half dozen oysters each, and we could choose any among the dozens of booths showcasing Rhody grown oysters. Our game plan: take a stroll around, identify those that gave the most appeal, whether it was provenance, size of cup or size of oyster. The verdict: by the final slurp we had sampled some of the best oysters we have had the pleasure of tasting, leaving us hungering for those we hadn't tried.
The Oyster Festival was conceived to celebrate the ever-growing and currently flourishing oyster market in Rhode Island. According to their website, OysterFestRI.com, with data provided by Coastal Resources Management, more than 6.4 million Rhode Island oysters were sold for diners to slurp in 2013, with over 50 aquaculture farms and growers making more than $4.3 million in revenue. In short, oysters are a delicious and thriving business here in little Rhody.
The Fest did not disappoint—the celebration was an oyster biz blow-out, allowing attendees the chance to chat with growers, environmental activists and other bivalve enthusiasts, all set against the backdrop of scenic Providence on a sunny Saturday. Just another reason why Rhode Island is one of the best food (and shellfish) destinations in the nation.
Were any of you at the Fest? Send us your photos and stories on any of our social media platforms! On Twitter, Facebook and Instagram @ediblerhody.

I find the more aggressive/blunt I am, the less well we get along. The more I am sweet and nurturing, the more likely he is to agree with me.
So in a nutshell, I would say my INTJ values (in no particular order):
1. Independence
2. Intelligence/deep conversations
3. Someone who gently challenges ideas (not argumentative)
4. Introversion/someone who appreciates the need for space
5. Companionship
6. Loyalty
7. Someone who can tolerate bluntness (although too much of it earns him a chewing out)
8. Low maintenance
9. A "feeler" gauge--to let him know when he's being too T to others, help him evaluate conversations/office politics, and keep him in touch with the gentler side of life
Really, in a nutshell, he has often told me that he really values my loyalty, gentleness, and nurturing nature. He feels our home is his safe haven, and he'd rather be here than anywhere else in the world. (LOL--I agree!) Conflict wears him out and he appreciates coming home to a place where there's not too much of it (unless he's being too blunt--then it's dished right back).
I'd be interested in hearing others' experiences as well.Hugs,

MBTI type I want is INTP, for relationship and marriage.
INFP is another possibility, but second by a long shot.
ENFJ maaaaaaaaaaaaybe.
N is an absolute necessity, and being dominated by a judging function also seems to help communication a lot.
anything else would really surprise me.
I want someone who can challenge, inspire and desire me.wails from the crypt.

My husband is ENTJ and we've been married for 17 years so I have some personal insight into this. I think my husband would have preferred an ESFJ or something close to it. He is not at all a chauvinist (in that he doesn't care if the male does this and the female does that), he feels that since he earns the money that I must be an extremely competant "EVERYTHING ELSE" - his secretary, driver of children, cook, head housekeeper, gardener, writer of the Christmas cards, event planner, banker, etc.
I know that he likes intelligent women, but not agressive ones. He would definately have preferred someone who is an E-type because the E versus I issue is pretty big with us.
I am loving your responses. Keep em' coming!
Alicia my husband is an INTJ but he sounds similar to your husband. Good thing I'm an ESFJ otherwise he'd probably boot me out the front door.Time is a delicate mistress.

If he's like mine (and it sounds very similar) it's not that he's chauvinist, it's not even that he makes more money. It's that he doesn't want to do it and will find an excuse for you to have to do it.
I moved in with my husband six years ago. He was in his last year of law school, I was finishing my BS in behavioral neuroscience. I had strong feelings about equality in all things, division of labor, etc. He thought I should do more because "OMG I'M IN LAW SCHOOL AND IT'S SO HARD AND YOU ARE ONLY GETTING YOUR UNDERGRAD DEGREE OMG!" So fine, I did more/all. I thought when we started working it would change.
Then we both started working and it was OMG I WORK SO MUCH HARDER THAN YOU/I HAVE SO MUCH MORE STRESS THAN YOU YOU SHOULD DO EVERYTHING! And it was true. So I did, thinking someday if I were ever his equal (or went to law school) it would be different.
For various reasons unrelated to equality (namely, I didn't think I had the patience for psychology but wanted to seek social good) I did wind up in law school. I commuted four hours/day to school because he didn't want to move/had a job. I usually got around 2-4 hours of sleep per night, working my ass off in school. I still had to do everything because OMG I MAKE MORE THAN YOU! The first year nothing got done--our house was probably a health hazard. The second and third years I had 2-3 days "off" / week to stay home, so that's why I had to do it all, even though I was taking 17 credit hours, working part time as a research assistant, and working 20 hours/week in a human rights legal clinic.
Then I graduated and started working.
And the reason I had to do it all? Because my area of law is "glorified social work" (poverty law) and he goes to trial more often. (Forget about hte fact that I WORK MANY MORE HOURS THAN HE DOES AND I MAKE MORE MONEY THAN HE DOES!!
I put my foot down. :steam:
All I wanted was a housekeeper to come 1x/week for four hours. That's it. he said no because OMG SHE MIGHT ROB US BLIND. So I went on strike--cooking, cleaning, anything--for six months. I worked more than he did. I brought in more money. He wasn't going to one-up me because he does 12 trials/year. I started a small business--which he hated--and worked all of my spare time getting it up and running because as public-interest lawyers with school loan payments of $2000/month, we will never afford a house. I was up until 1am working on my business, and then getting up again at 7 to go to work, daily, for months.
During that time he learned to clean really well, and has become proficient in the art of the microwave meal. He's learned to grocery shop, he's started cleaning out the litter box (which is for HIS cats!), he's begun managing the finances.
My rule now is that I will clean as much as he does. If he wants the bathroom clean but leaves all his shit out, I'm not lifting a finger. If he cleans it, I will do my part to maintain it (wipe it down, etc.) but as soon as he starts leaving his stuff out or making a mess, he's on his own. He often cooks for both of us now, etc.
I don't think he would have necessarily preferred an ESFJ wife (I once told him he wanted a housekeeper wife, and if that was the case, he shouldn't have recommended law school! At the time I was pretty involved with the small business and didn't have much extra time for him, and he said, "I want a companion!")
We both struggle with anxiety/depression. We both think outside the box, dream big, etc. We are the very best of friends, and prefer each other's company to anyone else in the whole world. He's the only person I've ever met who doesn't drain me, and he has said the same about me on many occasions.
I think NTJs (or at least this INTJ) just doesn't like to have to do much S stuff--going outside of his head to have to clean, run errands, take care of basic stuff. I just don't give him much choice, and can be pretty loud about it.Hugs,

To create this new society we must reach out our hands, without hatred and rancour, for reconciliation and peace, with unfaltering determination in the defense of truth and justice. We know we cannot plant seeds with closed fists. To sow we must open our hands."
~Adolfo Esquivel
I like to run errands outside and plan events, and grocery shopping is something I really like to do. But yes, I don't like household chores. Who actually likes them? Anyway really, if I had a wife that made a lot more money that me - and that money was enough to support us both, I'd gladly stop working and take care of the house. All I really need during my day is one hour of working out - if I don't do that, I become rather nervous.
I'm totally of the opinion that if two people are both very ambitious and want to reach high-paying careers that demand a lot of their time shouldn't get married at all. What's the use of being toghether if work is what matters the most? A better win-win solution would be living alone. Anything else would be too much of an hassle to me, I'm a rather accomodating person and I dislike having trouble in my life: sure as hell this type of situation would bring a lot of it. A life of going to bed at 12 after finishing working, and getting up at 7 at work? I need more freedom than that. I would become depressed after a month of that. I'd run straight to live in a small village in the mountains completely alone.ENTj 7-3-8 sx/sp
