"He Makes All Things New"
By: Melody Miller I just love Isaiah 43:19. It offers such beautiful promises in so many Bible versions, of course, but a favorite of mine is the ESV: "For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland." A pathway through the wilderness and rivers in the dry wasteland. Wow! It gives me chills! And He does exactly as He promised. I know this because I've seen it happen up close and personal – in my own family. See, there were times that "wasteland" and "wilderness" could have been descriptors for my family situation. My Mom, while she was an amazing lady: fun, friendly, hilarious, quick to smile, quick to love – suffered and struggled, particularly with her health, both physical and mental. First she began displaying symptoms of bipolar disorder as a young woman in the late '60s; a time when it was poorly understood and difficult to treat. Her mental health cost her dearly in relationships with friends and loved ones, with her feelings about herself, and especially within our family. My relationship with her as a child was a struggle, and her life was anything but easy in those days. But struggles with behavior and mood weren't her only problems. She and my Dad tried for many years to have children and miscarried three – THREE – times before I was born. By what she called a "miracle," she at last gave birth during their ninth year of marriage. As she went through this "miracle" pregnancy, she didn't know that her health was still failing. Shortly after I was born, Mom learned she had ovarian cancer and she underwent a complete hysterectomy followed by cobalt (!) treatments and more. Instead of enjoying being a new mother, she faced a terrifying fight. Her life was in many ways like hacking through the wilderness, struggling with each step just to survive. I know there were times when she feared she wouldn't survive and others when she was convinced that she wouldn't. Even when doctors declared the cancer was gone she feared it would return. Each checkup with her oncology team brought new anxieties, but thankfully, even 20 years later she was still cancer-free. Her fears persisted though, and one could understand why. In the years that followed she struggled to find restoration in the relationships damaged by her emotional problems and she continued to battle health problems. First a tumor (benign, thankfully), then hepatitis, kidney problems, heart disease, bypass surgery, diabetes… and so on. At times she felt plagued. Maybe even picked-on. How could all this strife be God's plan for her life? She feared her life would be cut short. She feared she wouldn't even see her daughter grow up. But she knew God's promise of restoration. God makes all things new. He makes a pathway through the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. Throughout all of this Mom never lost faith. She trusted God. She praised Him. She believed in His promises and celebrated the promise of life with him. Even when the physical attacks persisted she fought with the ferocity of a lioness protecting a cub. She was intent on seeing her cub grow up and on seeing the renewal God promised. I know she never thought she would see her fiftieth birthday, but she did. And then her fifty-first. And then more… She persevered. She persisted with an infectiously joyful spirit that never ceased to make everyone around her laugh. That stood true even in her final days, when her physical heart was failing. Alzheimer's had taken its best shot to rob her of joy and dignity, and it failed to bring her down as well. She praised God in the midst of every battle, knowing that He and only He could make all things new. My sweet, sassy mother lived to be 70 years old. When she closed her eyes the last time, she had been free from cancer for over 43 years. Even in those final weeks she still celebrated all God had done and was doing in her life. He had healed her physical body of so many problems. He had given her decades of complete freedom from symptoms of bipolar disorder. He'd brought newness and healing to her relationships with family and friends – and even with me. Especially with me. The difficult relationship I had with my Mom as a child was quite simply transformed by a loving and merciful God to become something beautiful, something to be treasured, and I am so grateful. He indeed made all things new for her and for us all. Recently, when I flipped to Isaiah 43:19 in my Bible, I was again reminded of God's promises for renewal. A few weeks after Mom passed away last year I began writing down many of my prayers in a journaling Bible. I recorded these words: "God, I know you are doing something new in me… I feel it in my stomach, in the unquiet part of my mind, the part that feels distress… Lord Jesus, please go alongside me. Lead me in every step. May I know and discern your voice and no other with each step I take. Quiet my thoughts and my pride and help me take action… just what you would have me do. I trust you, God… I give you my fears… my selfish wants and desires… Protect me, guide me, and anoint my journey. Praise you!" He answers this prayer for me every day. In each day and in every moment He cuts through the wilderness for me. He creates rivers through every wasteland. He does indeed make all things new. Melody Miller is a grateful believer in Christ who serves as Senior Marketing Manager for eCommerce at DaySpring.com. She lives in beautiful Northwest Arkansas with her husband Corey, an adorable 7-year-old grandson, and a giant geriatric horse-sized lapdog named Merrijane, who helps her remember to find joy in every day.

I love this question, and it can be answered in a number of different ways.
First, the comparison between computer programs. On a simplistic level, the idea that life can be imitated by a computer program is valid. The difference, for us as human beings, is that we can respond in different ways to the same stimuli. A computer program, on the other hand, is written such that given a certain input (data of some sort), the result is a certain output. In other words, given identical input, a computer program gives the same output. The only way I see to create two different outputs given the same input (and my programming experience is limited, so if there is another way, please share) is to have some randomness built into the program. In this case, however, there is no order the different output, so there is no way of repeating it. This is the fundamental difference. We have the ability to change our behavior based on previous experience, or emotion, or just on a whim. Our output is not set for a certain input. Some animals that might be considered "lesser" (dogs, for example) also have this ability (though it seems to me that their behavior is mostly based on prior experience).
Also, in regards to the comment about "life is really just the thought of one god who is the definition of infinity, and the thoughts of his thoughts," I like this idea on a philosophical level. It's interesting to think about, and the thing I find most upsetting about it is not the idea that we might be just part of the thoughts of some omnipitotent being, but the lack of free will that is inherent in this idea. That just blows me away.
Done rambling now. I'd love to hear any further thoughts on the programming side of this.

Good article though. Didn't have time to read other articles to compare, but hope this earned you a bit.
Do they accept poetry - I could only find articles about poetry, though there was some incorporated into that? I can write articles too, but prefer to write true things rather than fiction, as I don't really like making up stories, but could if I put my mind to it.
Read about the Tourist Lounge too. Will think about that, but don't want to get too committed to too many writings, what with my Writer's Circle and thinking about blogs too, and answering emails etc!
Yes they do accept poetry and true stories too. You do have to look for the right titles and channels though which can take time.ReplyDelete

PORT ARANSAS, Texas - Tony Amos has been caring for injured and ill animals since the early 80's. The Animal Rehabilitation Keep (ARK) was started when, in the course of his research, Tony began to find sea turtles and aquatic birds on the beaches and in the local environment.
The ARK of today specializes in marine turtles and birds of the South Texas coast. The mission is to rescue and rehabilitate animals and return them to the wild.
Today's Edition of The Austin American Statesman features a story on Tony's work and the ARK in Port Aransas. Read the article in Statesman.com and watch a preview of the documentary "Leaving the ARK" which is being produced by an Austin filmmaker.
Our community and the island environment are a much better place as a result of Tony's tireless efforts.

Kings Road are delighted to announce that they are taking part in The National Nutcracker Project 2016 run by the Royal Opera House. Thirty pupils from Year 5 are currently undertaking a 10 week creative challenge which is designed to inspire imaginative thinking, build skills and enrich pupils' and teachers' experience of the art form.
So far, the thirty pupils have been working incredibly hard to create an imaginative piece based around The BFG by Roald Dahl. They have learned about using space, working in unison and expression through dance.
At the end of the creative challenge we will submit a final dance piece. Our performance will be judged by a Royal Ballet panel and they will select a winner.
The participating Year 5 children will have the opportunity to attend a cinema screening of The Nutcracker. The winning school will attend a special matinee performance of The Nutcracker at the Royal Opera House in London.

Hello and welcome,
I'm Mary from Crazy In Life. I have the pleasure to write on Molly's blog today. So let get started, shall we?
Ok, so we all love summer (or most of us love summer). But it sometimes might be too hot outside. So we want to just read a book and drink something really refreshing. So today I'm going to show you my favourite summer drinks. Hope you enjoy!
1) Refreshing lemony water
The ingredients: hot water, lemon, springs of mint
How we make it: Firstly we boil some water. Then pour that hot water onto lemon and mint for this minty-lemony aroma. Because this drink is much too hot, you just want to wait until it's cold or a quicker idea, just add a lot of ice. I guarantee, that this drink is the most refreshing ever!
2) Sunrise
The ingredients: orange juice, pineapple juice, grenadine syrup
How we make it: Add orange juice to pineapple juice (each one ½ of the cup). Then pour just a little bit of grenadine syrup. Simple, but soo good.
3) Iced tea
The ingredients: tea bag, hot water, lemon, lime
How we make it: Well, basically we just make a tea. Add lemon. Or lime or maybe both like I did. What you prefer. Of course because it's super hot, you can add ice, or just wait for it to cool down :)
In the comments tell me which one is your favourite. Mine is definitely lemony water, because it is super refreshing, but I also love the sunrise drink. And tea, we all love tea :)
Thank you for reading and hopefully I'll get the chance to write for you once more in the future!
Mary x

In the lawsuit (nysdce 1:2013-cv-07608) against NQ Mobile and related entities, Piper Jaffray, Oppenheimer, and Canaccord Genuity have had the case dismissed. PricewaterhouseCoopers International is filing for dismissal. NQ Mobile China executives have agreed to be served and are filing for dismissal.
These three items alone, point to a clean audit being close to completion or done! The lawsuit was previously under a motion to delay the last few months, until it was available.
The interesting aspect of this case is it's basis on the Muddy Waters article, which the NQ Mobile letter to the court (link above) addresses.

The reason that tea is so healthy is that it is a powerful source of anti-oxidants. Black tea has the tendency to vary in color from a shade of red brown to black. There are four types of tea produced by the tea bush Camellia sinensis: green, white, oolong and black. Moderately priced and wonderful in flavor, oolong tea is one of the best! Caffeine triggers the stressed system for a process called thermogenesis. Therefore, speak with a dietitian to find this out and additionally understand the right amount to be consumed. As a matter of fact, although the caffeine content in black tea is less as compared to coffee, it is found to be even lesser in green tea ( around 18-20 mg/8 oz) and white tea (around 12-15 mg/8 oz). Tea accelerates the weight loss process by boosting the body's metabolism rate. Black tea varies from green tea and white tea in the means it is processed. It's effect is fantastic! However fruit juice and herbs like ginseng are often found in forumations of tea bags and commercially made iced green teas. Once the leaves are roasted they are rolled and fired for a few more times and after complete cooling, they are fired once more for the last time. Otherwise, the flavor of your tea will be negatively affected. Environment-friendly and white teas are barely processed at all, whereas black tea is totally oxidized. This makes it an ideal drink for those who are looking to slim down, or who exercise routinely.
All of these preferred types and brand names are always stacked complete on the racks of grocery stores, but, if you have been keeping an eye out, you probably observe that it is rather hard to get loose leaf black tea in many supermarkets. Although, this was claimed by many people, it had to be scientifically proven. There are a lot of various loose teas to pick from that you will not get burnt out. When mice were fed the theaflavins in black tea or injected with them, they didn't show the anticipated increase in inflamed cells that would normally be seen with a kind 4 allergic response. For some folks who spend one whole lot of time drawing differences between us, they sure do spend an inordinate amount of time swearing they are working for equality. There are many types of tea available in the market like black tea, oolong tea, green tea and white tea which is prepared from the similar bushes having varied processing. Consumers should know that tea means agricultural product coming from leaves, leaf buds, internodes of Camellia sinensis plant which is obtained by using different methods. Rheumatoid Arthritis: Researches and experiments have proved that, green tea minimizes the chances of rheumatoid arthritis. As a basic standard, loose black tea needs to be made with water that is simply below steaming temperature level and needs to be allowed to stand to release its flavor from between 3 to 5 mins; with the larger cuts of leaf requiring longer. This is attained by relieving up blood circulation. Keep your f-ing help to your damn self! It is a procedure where fat is used as fuel. Researchers from Berlin state that including milk to black tea decreases its antioxidant, vasodilating and anti-inflammatory impacts. It likewise improves immune system.
In the 1800s in the days of China trade where the British bought tons of green tea to deliver to Britain, the tea commonly showed up moldy or damaged as the journey might use up to two years! Overview of black tea processing Black tea comes from the same plant as other teas Fresh leaves are picked and dried on flat trays for 13-16 hours Leaves then are left to dry for about 1-2 hours--this fermentation is the most important step in producing black tea. Investigations have revealed that the perks of black tea are decreased when milk is included. Black tea has helped to change the drink market. The movement of the leaves in the water allows the oils of the leaves to be released to give each tea its distinct taste. Enjoy your black tea.. And how such remarks are pretty much proof that they, those making these fallacious claims, are in fact the racists? It is true that tea includes caffeine, nevertheless, the quantity of caffeine present in tea is very bit, even lesser than coffee. Anti-oxidants avoid free of cost radicals from doing their damages. Hindered Immune Feature: Green tea is additionally used in treating the issue of impaired immune function. Similarly, a research at Boston's School of Medicine discovered that consuming black tea can reverse the uncommon performance of the blood vessels that result in stroke or heart attack. Because of this difference in preparation, many Americans prefer to drink green tea iced rather than hot. Pu-erh tea is one of the most famous tea which is a post-fermented tea now available in the market. Other benefits of drinking green tea is that it assists lesser blood stress, even for those who have a high consumption of salt, which is a danger element for hypertension.
After the regular, you'll be surprised to find improved look of your eyes and experience amazing relief from swollen and exhausted eyes. Well apparently there is a connection. There are four types of tea produced by the tea bush Camellia sinensis: green, white, oolong and black. But Foojoy China green tea is not specifically designed for weight loss. It is since of the soil, climate, and processing that makes the big difference. Chinese oolong tea is in the first location a course as well as a kind of tea. With all the publicity bordering the health advantages of green tea, you may be wondering whether black tea can have comparable restorative impacts. Black tea is the tea range that has actually been oxidized the most and is a tea type retaining its flavor even more than other tea kinds. I thought diversity was the goal? Yeah, well based on their success of the last 50 years, if the care too much more some minority peoples might just be "cared to death." Eventually minorities will realize that the American Dream is the chance to participate and not being owed anything or deserving of any special consideration. To stop the process of oxidation, the leaves are fired. Selecting a tea The beverage tea is made by putting hot water over the leaves of the plant and permitting the taste of the leaves to be released into the water. Otherwise, the flavor of your tea will be negatively affected. After dried, the leaves are roasted for 4-7 min. Green tea, which is considered to be one of the most popular herbal supplements in the world today, has only been until recently discovered by the world to have a lot of many nutritional benefits.
It also helps lower the risk of developing cancers, such as stomach and esophageal cancer. To tap this benefit all one has to do is prepare some black tea and splash the warm tea onto your face. Then, remove the teabag and do not rinse the tea off the blemish. When mice were fed the theaflavins in black tea or injected with them, they didn't reveal the anticipated rise in inflamed cells that would usually be seen with a kind 4 allergic reaction. For some folks who spend one whole lot of time drawing differences between us, they sure do spend an inordinate amount of time swearing they are working for equality. This is because of its chemical elements such as Tannins. Consumers should know that tea means agricultural product coming from leaves, leaf buds, internodes of Camellia sinensis plant which is obtained by using different methods. Rheumatoid Arthritis: Researches and experiments have proved that, green tea minimizes the chances of rheumatoid arthritis. I wonder do those who make such racist remarks grasp how really ignorant they appear? This is attained by alleviating up blood circulation. It is considered as one of the effective ways of losing weight and there is scientific evidence for the relation between oolong tea and weight loss. Adding a few cups of black tea into your daily routine can help you keep your weight and stress in check and achieve your weight loss goals. Not only this there is accessibility of organic tea additionally in the market people will shock to find. The study also found people who drank black tea four to six times a week had lower levels of cortisol, the stress hormone, in their bloodstreams after a stressful event.
In the 1800s in the days of China trade where the British bought lots of green tea to ship to Britain, the tea typically showed up musty or harmed as the journey could take up to 2 years! It also reduce the risk of arthritis by decreasing the movement of blood cell that triggers the swelling when exposed to green tea anti-oxidants. Investigations have revealed that the benefits of black tea are lessened when milk is added. Black tea has assisted to change the drink market. Great quality tea is a fantastic refreshment. Enjoy your black tea.. And due to this quality dried coffee is generally utilized for the preparation of refreshments. Researchers in Japan found that 2 black tea theaflavins protected mice against a kind of allergic reaction called type 4 or delayed type hypersensitivity sensitive responses. Over-dried leaves will give flat taste. One study conducted in London, British found that tea drinkers were able to shake of stress and calm down more quickly than their non-tea drinking counterparts. Tea is available in various types and the most widely preferred amongst these types are black tea and green tea. Herbal teas technically are not teas because they don't contain any tea leaves. For many years, this fantastic natural plant has actually been delighted in as a alcohol and for its a lot medical functions.

V Hotel Lavender Singapore
Sis has a transit flight at Changi Singapore before she fly back to Arab… well… sort of dropped by to accompany me… heheh….
I found her this hotel at Lavender ~ V Hotel cuz they are one of the cheapest and convenient for us to go to Changi…
The review online was quite good… and it was only $150/night … consider quite cheap for a Singapore hotel.. normally those cheap ones are like Hotel 81, etc.
The room was pretty impressive and the bed was really comfortable.. we really enjoyed ourselves with a small bottle of wine before hit the bed…
However, the best part of the night ~> sis & I were awake middle of the night by the customers of the hotel… there wasn't sound proof in the room at all!! OMG! We were both awaken by the noisy sound twice… middle of the night & also early morning when people going for breakfast >.<
So not going to recommend you all to pay them a visit… the service given by their staff was not good as well.. no smile on their faces.. it's like everyone is owing them money >.<
Last but not least… it was really a great day out with sister after missing her for so long… 🙂 Although both the hotel & buffet dinner at Shangri-la were a big disappointment, but at least I gets to hang out with sister and enjoyed our 1day together 🙂
I'm truly blessed to have her 😀

Haw Par Villa @ Singapore
** I have the wrong spelling for Haw "Par" villa on my watermarks in all pictures and I'm just lazy to redo it… so… just ignore the wrong spelling on the watermarks :p
Haw Par Villa reopened in Singapore. So while sis & family visit to Singapore on early Sept, she wanted to go there for a walk.
I haven't been to this place for years. The last time I'm here was at least 20years ago, while dad still around.
Of all the memories in mind, I think everything still same. And the entrance still free!
The place wasn't that big… you can just finish walking in 30min -> including taking pictures…
They have this hell section which Darren is not allow to enter cuz he's too young for that… and according to Chinese belief, this kinda places normal have a lot of the "spirit" which is bad for children.
I don't like to enter places like this -> designed like Hell as well cuz it caused fear…. I once went to Gula, Taiping when I was 10 and the Hell there was so disturbing and it caused nightmare for me =.=
The sad thing about this reopened Haw Paw Villa was that, the statues all were not well-maintain.
The paint on the statues were all worn out. The people who open this place up didn't even repaint it so that they could attract more visitors.
Some of the history about Haw Par Villa I got while googling the official Haw Par Villa website… Haw Par Villa also known as Tiger Balm Garden, was built by Haw & Par brothers (Aw Boon Haw & Aw Boon Par). It was built on a hill in Pasir Panjang surrounded by unique gardens depicting Chinese mythology for the younger, quieter Boon Par in 1937.
Tiger Balm Gardens was later donated to the Singapore government by the Aw family, put on public tender for re-building as a theme park under the name Haw Par Villa. This theme park is no longer associated with the Haw Par group.
Ok.. end for history and serious stuff… time for personal stuff…
Darren was getting bigger over the few months and with a spec… he's not even 5yrs old =.= follow the mom's gen .. bad bad bad
And when I asked him to take pic with me.. he ignored me >.< so I grabbed him to me and this was the ignorance face he shown me >.<
It's been years since mom's last visited SG…. and it was really great to have her with me.. missed her so much…
In case you are wondering, where is my sis… sorry ya.. don't have her pic on my camera.. hahaha… all were on her camera and I have yet to copy d pics from her! ishhh!

Brunch @ Wild Honey Mandarin Gallery
Heard from my colleague that the brunch @ Wild Honey very very nice… so I jio my girlfriend to go with me… don't worry… they provide all day long brunch.. hahaha….
The bad thing… you cannot make reservation in advance… you have to be there to put your name and come back in an hour time to check out for your turn…
And… after you have your seats… you have to go to the counter to check out the full menu in Ipad! and make your order at the counter… food will be served to you later…
As I googled for the best brunch recommendation in Wild Honey, most people recommended the English breakfast, European breakfast & Tunisian breakfast… so we ordered English and Tunisian breakfast for a try….
And of course a Latte to go with the brunch….
The food was super filling … portion is very big… when you see it you won feel it… but when you see the English breakfast it does gave me very filling ei feeling already… but… the food was really nice.. best brunch I ever had in Singapore… Oriole can't even compare with them… but… price wise… it's the most expensive breakfast I every had in my life! hahaa…. however, it's worth it lor.. cuz really nice… worth to try it~!

Mexican Food again @ Iguana Clark Quay!
Ok… both girl friend and I were craving for mexican food… and to our conclusion, the best mexican food we tried before was Cafe Iguana @ Clark Quay…
Again… definitely a big no no to Muchos Clark Quay!
So we were there for our dinner on a Friday night!
Chips with the tortillas sauce.. best of all cuz it's free and you can ask for free refill!!
We ordered Burritos with chicken strips fillings in it…. and when we saw the dish… we knew we couldn't finish it already… the portion was huge man!
We also ordered nachos with some fillings: mushroom, vege, beans rice…. so.. it was super filling for us as well…
The food super nice and really worth it lor… price is quite reasonable and the waitress all very friendly… no wonder they are always full house…
Looks yummy right? This is definitely another food place I'm going to visit again~!

Late Lunch @ Soup Restaurant
Suddenly crave for hot soup… those clear soup type…. so I went to Soup Restaurant for my lunch… or I should say is tea time? hahha…This place is always full of people during lunch / dinner time… but luckily when I went there weren't much customer… aiya… who will take their lunch during 4pm ler? 😛
I didn't bring my camera along.. so just use my phone camera took the pictures… but luckily there is this thing call photoshop… haha…. at least can sharpen the colour … 🙂
Since I'm craving for soup… definitely need to order soup rite.. and as expected.. the soup will be small size…but it was really nice… the taste of traditional chinese herbs is just nice … not too watery or too thick… niceee…. yummy…
Soup definitely has to come with rice… so I ordered their famous Steam chicken ginger rice… the ginger came with on a side plate… and they even sell this in bottle… forgot the price d… hehee…
The steam rice quite nice as well… smells nice after added in the ginger…. yum yum….
Last but not least, I also ordered their famous fried potato leaves with chili….. erm.. not spicy ei…. I think this dish is not special at all… and it was the most expensive of all 3 dishes -> $8.50 =.=
Lesson learnt: Don't order side dish like this… not worth it at all…
Overall… food is nice here.. service also good (cuz no other customer).. hahaha…. but a bit pricey and the portion quite small… 🙂

Weekend Escapade to Pulau Ubin
Yay~! Just a short getaway from the crowded city…. I went to Pulau Ubin with girl friend few weeks back…
Journey started at 9am…..
The jetty to Pulau Ubin is located at Changi Village… pretty near to Changi airport… and the boat trip cost us $5/each for to and fro boat…. and it is just 10 min boat ride…. very fast ler… hehehe…..
We did search for the information on this island before we step foot on this island… it has only 1 resort in it and the best place to visit will be Chek Jawa.
The first thing you can see when you step you leg onto the island: bicycles!! Lots of it!!!! Cycling is one of the main attraction here as well….
You can actually rent the bicycle for whole day at just $10 depending on what kind of bikes you like… or you can also get a van to fetch u to Chek Jawa @ $20/van (which they normally will tell you today you alone only.. so they not going to wait for other passenger.. you have to pay the $20)
Cycling can be fun… rent the van will be so much easier… and if you go there in a big gang and want to go view things fast… you better take the van…
Then here comes the 2-smart-ass-girls thought they are strong enough to walk all the way to Chek Jawa (40 min walks) decided to make a U-turn and rent themselves the bikes… lol….
And we cycled all the way to Chek Jawa… whereby we have to park our bikes outside the information counter and walk in… still have to walk… do take note that you need to rent the bike locks when you rent your bike .. just in case someone trying to steal your bike away… which is going to cost you more if it really lost… hehehe… we got this pointers online as well!
At Chek Jawa, you can go to the mangroves route or the coastel hill or the broadwalk or the viewing jetty…. we went for the broadwalk which were our main reason to be there…
It was high tide that time… so we see no corals, starfish, or whatever attractions on the broadwalk…so sad… 🙁 Just snapped a few pictures then headed back to mainland cuz the weather was freaking hot that day!
However, happy me gets to take such nice pictures that day with my baby camera.. it's really worth to bring her along… thou she's big.. but when I saw the pictures… *sigh* ~ lucky I brought her along… hehe… I love these 5 pictures the most~!
It feels like I'm in Maldives (though I have never been there.. but it gave me that kinda feelings 😛 ) … yaya.. I know Maldives sure nicer la… who doesn't know ler?
A nice little hut for us to rest and the beautiful clouds… felt so relax….
A warning pole overlooking the mainland….
And last but not least, a mining-lake (that's according to girlfriend.. she said this is not a natural-made lake but is a man-made lake and this is mining-lake wor….) I love this pic as well!! Nice right? 🙂
Back to Mainland whole bodyache for over exercise 😛
It was fun thou…. quite worth it for the cycling part… cuz you can rent bicycles @ East coast park but the rate is so much higher at $10/hour… this is $10/day ler… super worth it lor…. hehe….
So… when is your turn there?

My name is Diane and I consider myself very blessed to be associated with Teen Challenge. I have lived in Roseville for over 35 years and work part-time with my husband, Greg who is a realtor with Coldwell Banker. We have raised two boys and are now empty-nesters. Greg has been a supporter of Teen Challenge for many years and about 11 years ago, I was invited to the Alpha Henson Home to help my friend, Debbie, minister to the ladies with crafts and devotions. I saw that there were gardening items outside the classroom and offered to help develop a Culinary Garden to enhance the meals at the Home. God gave me the opportunity to turn my love for gardening into a chance to spend time in the beautiful environment around the grounds and spend time getting to know and encourage some of the ladies in the program. It has been so rewarding to be able to see God's hand at work in each of them!!
I help with the yearly Golf Tournament and now teach one of the Group Studies lessons for one week each month, and this gives me a chance to watch the transition from LOST to THRIVING. I often get to meet ladies when they first come to the Alpha Henson Home and watch as they begin to understand how much God loves them and has a victorious plan for their lives.
The staff is always so grateful when I come out and they were very helpful in preparing me for my volunteer duties. I always get much more than I give when I visit and it's a JOY to work in this beautiful place of ministry that brings forth so much fruit!!

Ladies special - Wendy Martin
26 February 2016|Tottenham Hotspur
Spurs Ladies are hoping to make history on two fronts when they face Aston Villa in the FA Women's Cup on Sunday.
Target one is a positive result against the team from a level above, the Women's Super League. Villa play in WSL 2 (the country's top sides in WSL 1) and if successful, it will be Spurs' first win against WSL opposition.
Target two follows on from target one - again, if successful, Spurs will match their furthest run in the FA Cup and make it into the fifth round for the third time. It's a feat they managed last season when they were beaten by a WSL1 side Notts County packed full of internationals.
Still unbeaten in cup competition this season and with two cup finals in the bag, we asked key player and long-serving midfielder Wendy Martin just what it means to take on a WSL side in the most prestigious of women's cup competitions.
The team remains unbeaten in the cups, has reached two finals – what is it about the cups this season?
Wendy: "I think there is a real hunger for success amongst the team. We were unfortunate to lose in the Ryman Cup Final last year and are looking to better that this season and pick up some silverware. We are working extremely hard on and off the pitch, the team spirit is fantastic and we are hoping to continue our unbeaten cup run."
Don't miss this Sunday's match. @ThlfcOfficial vs @AVLFCOfficialpic.twitter.com/eT0ePC4go7— Spurs Ladies (@ThlfcOfficial) February 26, 2016
Even the you've reached those two finals and therefore won two semi-finals, is Villa the biggest game of the season?
Wendy: "Villa is a massive game for us and it will definitely be the biggest test for us so far this season. It is always nice to progress in the FA cup and test yourself against quality opposition. We have some fantastic players in the squad and are playing some good football at the moment so we are confident we can pick a result up on Sunday."
Where do you see the team at the moment?
Wendy: "The team is going from strength to strength at the moment. We have signed a few new players who have added further depth to the squad and there is a real buzz about the club at the moment. We proved last season that we are able to compete at the top level and hopefully this year will have a trophy to show for all our hard work."
Below: Wendy in action against West Ham earlier in the season
What are you expecting from Villa?
Wendy: "They are a young side but we know Villa are going to be strong and well organised. They picked up a good result against Portsmouth in the previous round so we know it is going to be a tough game."
There were a few surprises with Premier League teams beating WSL teams in the previous round - do the players feel we have a chance against Villa?
Wendy: "Yes 100 per cent. We are focusing on one thing only and that is getting a result against Villa on Sunday. We are confident that if we all work hard and play to the best of our ability we can get a result. Hopefully we will get a good crowd down at Cheshunt FC to cheer us on and see us through to the next round."
More on the goal: @AvillaBergin found Martin with a cutting pass. #SpursLadies#COYSpic.twitter.com/kLpxr9ET1k— Spurs Ladies (@ThlfcOfficial) February 14, 2016
How important is the FA Cup to you all and within women's football?
Wendy: "I think the magic of the FA cup is still very much there in women's football. It has always been the ultimate achievement. That's why our priority is getting a result and being in the draw for the next round."
How much did the players learn from playing WSL 1 side Notts County in the FA Cup last season?
Wendy: "It was a fantastic experience, the stadium, the pitch, playing in front of a big crowd, playing against some of the best players in the country, it was definitely one of the highlights of the season. The squad has come on massively since last season and we are playing some really good football. Last year we were able to compete for 75 minutes but Notts County train full-time and their fitness levels and sharpness was better. This season we are now training three times a week instead of the two last season and we have brought on board a strength and conditioning coach and a sports science specialist to help us compete physically at the top level."
Finally, a question to you Wendy, you are a Spurs fan through and through – how much does it mean for you to play for the team you support and to see the continued development of the team and the club?
Wendy: "It's a dream come true. It's like a family at Spurs, the coaching is first class and has really helped me to progress and develop as a player. I have been at the club five years now and the progress the club has made in just a few seasons is remarkable and it has been a real privilege to be a part of that. It's great to see the men doing so well this season as well and let's hope between us we can pick up a few pieces of silverware this season!"

Why We Were Right About Trump
Punditry contains an element of competition.

As relative newcomers to the arena, one must reasonably ask: Why read the New American Perspective rather than some other website?
Needless to say, this election season has humbled many pundits, including some marquee names. The New American Perspective is one of the only publications whose predictions about the Republican primary season were almost entirely correct — living up to our promise of clear-minded analysis, free of wishful thinking. Although it's probably not possible to eliminate the elements of gloating or bragging from reviewing the ways in which one was correct — well, let us review:
* Before the voting started, I declared that Trump has put Reaganism on death-watchand that the rank-and-file Republican voter is far less devoted to conservative ideology than the DC-NYC set believes.
* After Marco Rubio's strong third-place showing in Iowa and the betting markets pegged him as the likely nominee, I called him overrated, said the edge is still with Trump, and claimed that New Hampshire tends to enjoy rebuking Iowa; Cinzia Croce concurred and suggested we skip the Iowa caucuses altogether next time
* After Trump's strong first-place showing in New Hampshire and Rubio's humiliating fifth-place finish, I said that the race was "effectively over," that Rubio blew his opportunity, and that Ted Cruz would meet the same electoral fate as Rick Santorum
* After Rubio's strong second-place showing in South Carolina and Bush's withdrawal, I said Rubio's standing in the race is an illusion — "Here we go with another fake Rubio surge!" — and reiterated that Cruz has no path to the nomination and will continue to meet the same fate as past Iowa winners
* After Super Tuesday, I called Trump's triumph 'staggering' and pointed out that he was building a non-traditional North-South coalition. I also argued that Rubio was not going to win Florida and ought to drop out immediately if he wanted to give conservatives enough time to coalesce around an alternative to Trump
Now, a forecast this accurate invariably involves some degree of pure luck. But, with the exception of predicting Jeb Bush would turn in a respectable showing in South Carolina, I correctly predicted the ultimate fate of all of the major candidates — Trump, Cruz, and Rubio — after only Iowa and New Hampshire had voted — against the betting markets, statistical models, and marquee-name pundits. Why did I insist, against all conventional wisdom, that Trump was likely to win the nomination?
First of all: I have always rejected the manufactured 'in-vogue' theory among we Political Science graduates that 'the party decides'; that party elites and their major donors essentially 'select' a party's nominee, who is then marketed to the voters, who largely don't pay attention to the details of nominating contests. I see it a different way: parties 'select' one candidate — or a handful of candidates — as their top choice — but the voters always had the power to reject this choice, should they choose to exercise it. As long as the economy is doing reasonably well and people feel reasonably confident about the future, most people really do not (and should not) pay attention to politics — and really will sign off on the party leadership's decisions, due to a certain level of trust in their judgment.
But the party elite — largely DC- and NYC-based, in areas that voted for Rubio or Kasich — how telling it is that Arlington, Alexandria, and Manhattan voted radically unlike the communities surrounding them! — lost that trust, and didn't realize it. Elites have ignored warning sign after warning sign during the Obama era — from the 2010 Tea Party revolts in Senate nominating races in Nevada, Delaware, Alaska, Colorado, Pennsylvania, and Florida — to the primary electorate's flirtations with increasingly weird presidential candidates, like Herman Cain, Michele Bachmann, and Ron Paul — to the shocking rejection of Eric Cantor as Majority Leader. As we have said: when times are good and the voters trust the party's judgment, these things simply do not happen. When voters are paying close attention to politics, it's not because they want to — it's because they feel they have to. These people reliably have voted Republican in election cycle after election cycle, and the march of progressivism seems to have not even been halted. This is not entirely fair: liberal democracy has an intrinsic logic inclining our society toward ever-increasing openness, and conservative leaders have actually at times performed commendable services in moderating progressive excesses. But then — Republican leaders should not have made promises they could not deliver, as Trump himself noted in his Art of the Deal.
Speaking as one who has one foot in each world: the elites really do live in a bubble. They do not know anyone who has been working for ten years without receiving a serious wage increase. They do not know anyone addicted to heroin. They do not know anyone whose job has been shipped to Mexico or China. Their children did not have to go into crushing debt to graduate from a decent college. Many everyday people see their communities disintegrating, vote and volunteer for Republicans in the hopes of reversing the trend, and then see — for instance, in early 2013 — that their leaders are actually more concerned with the fate of illegal immigrants than with creating good jobs in their communities, and that their votes are considered disposable.
But here is the crucial part: These are not people who are necessarily instinctively hostile to government. They do not want a government 'so small it can be drowned in a bathtub.' They do not look at the state and say 'Our enemy!' — They are not pining for another round of tax breaks for the upper-class. They are not eager for another free-trade agreement in such a short span of time. They are skeptical that more diversity means greater harmony rather than greater tension. They aren't diehard Reaganites; they want government to work well, and on behalf of people they see as deserving — rather than wanting government to simply be small. And they look at Trump, ponder his shortcomings, but ultimately shrug their shoulders and say 'At least he'll shake things up. At least he's not one of them.'
The party elite simply became addicted to their comfortable positions, too assured that their positions were not under threat — even as warning sign after warning sign appeared to them. These were anomalies, they thought — it couldn't happen to them, they thought — they at least were secure at the presidential level, they thought — but no: the GOP has been open for years to a hostile takeover. Trump saw his opportunity and took it — and from people who were so utterly self-assured that they didn't even bother to take him seriously until it was far too late.

The Office Package Policy, provides coverage for a variety of exposures. The Property section insures those items either owned or leased by your firm such as furniture, fixtures, computer hardware/software/peripherals, communication systems, etc. It also includes coverage for the improvements and betterments that you may make to your office space.
The policy also provides coverage for Business Interruption and Extra Expense. Business Interruption insures against loss of income as a result of not being able to use property damaged by a covered cause of loss during the time it takes to repair or replace it. The counterpart to this coverage is Extra Expense, which provides coverage for those costs over and above normal expenses to continue your business operations in the event of a covered loss.
The General Liability section provides coverage for third party incidents such as bodily injury (trip/fall) and property damage (water damage to premises below) that happen to others. Another coverage included in the General Liability section is Employee Benefits Liability. This coverage would protect the firm in the event of an Error or Omission in the administration of your employee benefits plan. Some examples would be failure to include an eligible employee into the plans, failure to notify employees of changes to the plans, failure to file changes to the plans as requested by the employee (beneficiary, address, etc.).
Non-Owned & Hired Car Liability coverage is also provided, which insures third party bodily injury and property damage. The most common exposure is claims resulting from rental vehicles. Damage to the actual rented vehicle is not covered.

Management Liability
(a) Directors & Officers Liability Coverage
(b) General Partnership Liability
(c) Employment Practices Liability
(d) Outside Directorship Liability
Errors & Omissions

(b) Investment Fund Professional Liability
A well designed and customized Management and Professional Liability Insurance Program protects the associated Investment Advisory/Management entities and Private Investment Funds as well as the the respective corporate executives themselves against any actual or alleged errors, omissions, mis-statement, mis-management, breach of investment objective and breach of fiduciary. The coverage also provides defense and legal fee coverage for any formal investigative orders brought by a regulatory or governmental agency into the potential violations of law.
Both defense and legal fees associated with the litigation and any subsequent indemnity due to third-parties as a result of such alleged mis-management, errors or omissions will be provided on an as incurred basis (in excess of the self-insured retention).

Fidelity Crime Bond
The basic fidelity bond covers loss of money, securities or other property owned by the insured, held by the insured, or for which the insured is legally liable, when such loss is due to the dishonesty of the insured's employees.
The Bond is a first party contract, which in the case of a covered loss would make the Insured whole, subject to the deductible. The bond includes coverage for Employee Dishonesty, Premise Losses, Transit Losses, Forgery Losses and Computer Fraud for covered property.
Other types of Fidelity Bonds:

Under ERISA, fiduciaries are personally liable for losses to benefit plans incurred as a result of their alleged breach of duties.
Trustees of employee benefit plans are expected to act in the best interests of the plan participants. If this duty is compromised, either intentionally or unintentionally, trustees can be held personally liable. In today's litigious society, people who perceive they have been wronged react with lawsuits that can cost millions of dollars to defend and settle. This makes fiduciaries potential lightning rods of liability, particularly in light of the amount of money held in retirement plans today, and the valuable protection those plans afford to their participants.
The large majority of fiduciary claims are brought by past or present employees or their families. However, claims may also be brought by another fiduciary or by the Department of Labor (DOL), which enforces the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). When the DOL brings an action, fiduciaries can face civil penalties, as well.

Firms often assume that any privacy/security breach would be covered by its standard insurance (i.e. Errors and Omissions, Fidelity Crime Bond, etc.). While some protection may be afforded in certain circumstances, two key factors should be kept in mind. Traditional E&O policies will not cover "first party losses" such as notification/credit monitoring expenses, public relations expenses, crisis management, business interruption, forensic investigation costs, data restoration expenses and costs associated with extortion demands. And while Fidelity Crime Bonds do provide protection for 1st Party losses, it's typically only in the event of the loss of covered property, money, securities, certificates of deposit, etc. and excludes the loss of confidential information, material or data. Both of these forms of insurance protection also will not typically defend state or federal regulatory actions, including payment of any civil fines or penalties that might be levied for a violation of a privacy law and/or failure to notify.
Cyber Security insurance coverage fills in the gaps in both traditional first-party and third-party liability policies by protecting a company from losses associated with unauthorized access to or theft of data or e-business activities, computer viruses, denial of service attacks, as well as alleged unauthorized e-commerce transactions.

CAIRO (Reuters) – Egyptian security officers checked U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and his top aides with a metal detector as they arrived for a meeting on Tuesday with President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, an unusual screening for a senior State Department official.
Foreign officials usually extend every courtesy to Washington's top diplomat.
Footage taken at the Egyptian presidential palace and seen by Reuters showed an official briefly raising a handheld metal-detecting wand to the lower part of Kerry's jacket before waving him through for the meeting, which is to discuss how to stop the two-week conflict between Hamas and Israel in the Gaza Strip.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
The teenage years can be very tumultuous but for teens with behavioral problems or emotional instability, this chaotic time can be traumatic and wrought with stress. If your child shows signs of depression, anxiety, anger, or emotional distress and self-medicates with drugs or alcohol, proper treatment is essential.
For many families, finding the line between normal teenage moodiness and mental illness can be very challenging. Some parents simply believe their children are experimenting or pushing boundaries with partying, when in fact deeper, more serious problems may be occurring.
Unfortunately, nearly 8% of young adults between the ages of 12 and 17 struggle with mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and behavior disorders, while substance abuse among this population is not uncommon. Facing the reality of co-occurring disorders can be very emotionally challenging, and parents with teens in trouble may not know where to turn.
If you believe therapy is a necessity to help your teen regain a healthier approach to life, Teen Treatment Center is here. As a licensed teen rehabilitation center, we are able to provide the care and professional resources necessary to help your teen make a full recovery. Please contact us at (844) 319-5239 at any time, day or night, to speak to a member of our admissions team.
What Is Dialectical Behavior Therapy?
In essence, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (or DBT) is a scientifically-developed approach to behavioral therapy that focuses both on identifying triggers to unhealthy behavior, as well as fostering the ability to self-regulate extreme negative emotions. This practice effectively addresses the root of struggles with addiction, assisting teens in need with a better approach to releasing aggression and dealing with symptoms of mental disorders.
DBT is most effective in treating young adults with numerous co-occurring issues, namely mental illness in conjunction with substance abuse habits. At Teen Treatment Center, we are able to help your child identify and work through their extreme negative emotions, like rage, depression, and anxiety, while also addressing their extreme behaviors, such as suicidal tendencies, disordered eating, and the abuse of illicit substances.
The process governing DBT operates on balancing both acceptance – "I realize that I have these feelings" – and a commitment to change – "there are other, more positive ways that I can deal with these feelings." Progress through DBT is slow, but positive reinforcement is central, celebrating little successes while encouraging further efforts in overcoming continued problem areas. This combines many of the principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with an added emphasis on mindfulness, providing a healthy outlet on which to refocus results of emotional regulation.
The History of DBT
Dialectical Behavior Therapy was first proposed in the 1980s by Dr. Marsha Linehan, a researcher working in psychology at the University of Washington. The concept began as an evolved form of CBT with an added focus on mindfulness and acceptance, helping patients to feel as though even the smallest steps forward are worthy of acknowledgement. This "one day at a time" approach is a distinct departure from then-current treatment models, which often saw a lack of results as stemming from a lack of effort. The adjustment in perspective seen in DBT stems from the extreme side-effects of those suffering from severe emotional disturbance and the overall necessity of positive reinforcement in these circumstances.
Early methods were designed specifically to assist those with Borderline Personality Disorder and those with continued suicidal inclinations, offering a more supportive therapeutic alternative that worked to actively dissuade self-harm. Historically, therapists have struggled to address these kinds of cases, as any negative feedback threatens to put volatile patients at risk for extreme unhealthy behaviors.
How DBT Is Used Today
Today, DBT relies on four key modules: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.
Mindfulness is a core philosophy of DBT, helping patients to be aware of the present moment and accepting of behavioral patterns and emotional responses. Mindfulness gives patients the ability to increase their self-awareness, as well as practice to identify and control impulsive thoughts and behaviors. Often intrinsically tied to meditative practices, mindfulness has its roots in Buddhist traditions and involves consciousness of the present moment and a full embrace of one's sense of self.
Distress Tolerance
Reacting appropriately to stressors in the moment can be a significantly difficult issue for those fighting mental illness. Distress tolerance practices are designed to define and target emotional reactions to distress, helping patients to calmly recognize their present painful circumstances and potential healthy responses, rather than simply hiding or lashing out.
Emotional Regulation
For those fighting mental illness, controlling emotions can be extremely challenging under the best of circumstances. DBT helps individuals to identify and label emotions, reduce vulnerability to extreme negative emotions through the concept of Mastery, and apply distress tolerance techniques to overcome negative stimuli. This concept is the basis upon which DBT's predecessor, CBT, was built.
Interpersonal Effectiveness
An inability to communicate clearly and effectively with others can be a point of severe frustration. Through DBT, patients learn more effective ways to communicate their wants and needs and to share ideas with others, which maximizes their ability to change responses, improve goal-seeking abilities when talking and sharing with others, being able to set healthy boundaries with peers, as well as feeling comfortable and able to ask for help when they need it.
DBT in Practice
Our approach to DBT therapy focuses on five key areas that can negatively affect behavior:
• Confusion about identity (Does this have to do with roles, myths, etc?)
• Emotional instability
• Impulsivity
• Interpersonal challenges
• Family conflict
Through talk therapy and the principles outlined within the four modules, our therapists can help patients to identify personal weaknesses, uncover the root of problematic feelings, and develop better ways to harness aggression, anxiety, and depression. Our therapists approach treatment in a positive way, encouraging teens to be mindful of the world around them, while celebrating even the smallest victories.
Due to the age of teenage patients, problems at home can often increase or exacerbate symptoms of mental disorders. As such, our program is designed to accommodate counseling with family members, providing an outlet for teens to air grievances, identify stressors, and work through interpersonal problems. This approach can be used to address issues like the shifting power dynamics between childhood and adulthood, demarcating the line between normal and atypical adolescent behavior, and the growing need for independence.
Benefits in Teen Treatment
For many teens, the adult world is a scary place. Transitioning from life as a dependent child to an independent adult can be extremely overwhelming, and the pressure to maintain appearances, academic performance, and interpersonal relationships can cause complex issues in even healthy teens.
DBT is an extremely effective approach for both children and teens due to the focus on positivity, mindfulness, and skill-building. Due to the instability of young adulthood, constructive reinforcement and supportive encouragement can facilitate successes within therapy. By helping teens to identify problem areas, like family dynamics, peer conflicts, or failing romantic relationships, and then to define inappropriate reactions and coping mechanisms, therapists can address addiction and its contributing factors.
Teen Treatment Center provides a welcoming environment for your teen, offering personalized individual and family therapy in order to see individualized results. We are able to address both behavioral and substance abuse disorders, helping teens to approach stress and distress in a healthier, more productive way.
Alternative Models to DBT
There are several alternatives to DBT that can be used to address mental illness and addiction. While the compassionate, encouraging nature of DBT is often seen as a benefit for teens, other avenues are available.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: This practice operates on many of the same principles as DBT without the emphasis on mindfulness. CBT focuses on emotional regulation to overcome behaviors associated with negative thought patterns, helping patients to identify poor responses and incorporate behavioral changes accordingly.
- Acceptance and commitment therapy: Known as ACT, this alternative is similar to the mindfulness portion of DBT and focuses on accepting thoughts and emotions without judgment. The overall concept is similar to DBT, but the therapies used to reinforce ideas and seek changes are quite different.

I shaved for solidarity!
I share my life with lovely women who are battling cancer and have lost their hair. I want to share their battles, help them with their burdens, and thereby, increase all of our successes and all of our joys!
I also share my life with the elements, e.g., water, and with all life. I will move my hair from my head to water and habitat as needed for the benefit of others whom I share the planet. I gladly share resources, as all things are gifts to us for stewardship anyway.
I am with all!
