When You Believe
I like this song... Means alot... And browsing through youtube,i found so many version... French sounds good.. But English is still the best (cause i understand what they're singing... ^ ^)
I like this Picture... ^ ^
buang ke-boring-an (u dun have to read...)
Oh ya,1 more thing happen today... Which i would say it's pretty weird... I got up at 10 am today and when my dad ask me to buy lunch at around 11 smth,he found out that his wallet was completely empty... So,we thought "WE MUST HAVE BEEN ROBBED~~!!" then,we started looking around the house for signs of break in... Hm... Couldn't find any... So,we started looking for any other valuables that are stolen... My dad's phone and my bro's phone were also missing... So,we continue searching around and then later,my maid find the missing items (the money and the 2 phones) in a small black plastic bag at my backyard,near the longkang... The weird thing is,the items were missing and we actually found them in a black plastic bag... So,that got me thinking alot and doubting... Alot of weird theories started to pop and i started to doubt everybody.... But later on,i thank GOD that we actually found them back and everything was ok...
Hmm.... That's all for today... ^ ^ Pretty tired now... Maybe i shud get some rest... ^ ^ so,good nite to u all for now... And thx for reading...
I Passed...
Awhile later,i got my litar test and i was pretty confident that i could do it... But i prayed also,asking that he would be with me while i'm doing my test.... And somehow,i felt pretty calmed... Thx GOD... ^ ^ hehe... And after doing everything and after i parked the car,i got up to the station/post where the other tester (oh ya,the word is invigilator... it sounds smth like dat...) was sitting and got my test results... Then again,another Lulus... i was like YAAAAHHOOO~~~ but then again,i didn't shout... ahemm.... So,i got to the office and hand in my results... After that,i met my instructor(Pak Cik Wahab) and showed him my results... He was like "Bagus,bagus..." Hehe... Then,i went to Auntie Ros and gave her my results... She looked very happy and she also did told me that She felt happy that i pass... Hehe...
Yeah,i felt tempted to gave in duit kopi to pass straight away... But somehow i didn't...
1. It's because it's like RM100 and i dun have that much....
2. I wouldn't get the confidence... Knowing that i "bought" my licence... Instead of earning it...
So,i'm pretty confident now that i can drive... (well,not that good yet for i still need lots of practice... ^ ^) But,i thank GOD for being with me and for answering my prayers... And also would like to thank both my instructors... And also,my tester for passing me.... WEeee~~ Hehe...
Man,it felt pretty good... Ahaha... Then later at nite,we had our practice... And well,it turn out pretty good.... Hehe... Thx to everybody... Weee~~~ I'm happy... ahaha...
The Present
admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his father
could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.
As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had
purchased the car.
Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his
private study.
His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how
much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box. Curious, but
somewhat Disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely,
leather-bound Bible, with the young man's name embossed in gold.
Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said, " With all your money you
give me a Bible? And stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible.
Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a
beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father was very old, and
thought perhaps he should go to him. He had not seen him since that graduation
Before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his
father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed
to come home immediately and take care of things.
When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled his
heart. He began to search through his father's important papers and saw the
still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the
Bible and began to turn the pages.
His father had carefully underlined a verse, Matt 7:11, "And if ye, being evil
know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Heavenly
father which is in heaven, give to those who ask Him?" As he read those words, a
car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer's
name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the
date of his graduation, and the words... PAID IN FULL.
How many times do we miss God's blessings because they are not packaged as we
expected ? I trust you enjoyed this. Pass it on to others. Do not spoil what you
have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once
among the things you only hoped for...
GOD was with me today...
p/s : i was suppose to post this 2 days ago.. on Sunday,16th of March 2008... Hahaha....
I Spoke...
1. When you think of banquet and feast, what comes to your mind?
2. Read Luke 14:1-24. Jesus was having dinner with a group of Pharisees when he told this parable. Who do the characters in this parable represent?
- The host -
- -Jesus Christ himself who invites many people to come to feast with Him - this feast is not only pointing to the future in heaven, but also a vibrant, life-changing relationship with Him now.
-Jesus is an invited guest, but He is really the host!!!!
-In fact, the feast is a picture of the soul's satisfaction in a relationship with Jesus. Christ is saying, "I am the host, and the feast. You are all invited!!!!"
- 1) vv. 7-11, a mini-parable here, also talking about the guests. PROUD & SELF-RIGHTEOUS
- Here, people think they deserve to be at the banquet. They want to be the honored guests. They ve been to banquets before, and expect the same treatment. They don't really want to be there to honor or thank the host, they are there to honor themselves. ----> CHRISTIANS WHO ARE SPIRITUALLY COMPETITIVE, SEEKING RECOGNITION, NO GOAL TO WORSHIP CHRIST, BUT GOAL TO BE KNOWN. BEWARE, THIS IS SUBTLE IN THE HEARTS OF MANY CHRISTIANS.
Jesus, however, does not do so at all. He is the one who invites those who cannot possibly pay back. Knowing this, Jesus cannot contain Himself and He tells the third parable - Banquet.....
3) v. 18, I have just bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please excuse me. - MATERIALISM
- but for us,
ones WHO DO NOT SEEM OBVIOUSLY like those who are SPIRITUAL and RIGHTEOUS.
The ones who are ABSOLUTELY IN NEED of Christ and know it.
The guilty, hopeless, abused, hurting, fringe members, etc.
Grateful ones who WOULD NOT BELIEVE THAT CHRIST WOULD OFFER THEM
ETERNAL LIFE and salvation.
Ones who would NOT EXPECT such an invitation.
Ones who know they have NO RIGHTEOUSNESS ON THEIR OWN - they know they are
SINFUL and in NEED OF A SAVIOR.
- The invited guests who make excuses.
- The beggar who is grateful to be invited and have a meal.
- The beggar who needs a little coaxing to come.
- The servant who is sent out to bring others to the party.
- Other:________________________________________.
- Generous: v. 16, for no reason besides his generosity, he invites people to come to the banquet. What really is this banquet? Although it refers to the future feast of heaven - gift of eternal life, it also more directly refers to a glorious relationship with Jesus. God doesn't have to, but he wants to offer it to us.
He especially likes the ones who are crippled, lame, blind, etc. b/c they know they ABSOLUTELY NEED CHRIST! This glorifies God. These beggars do not choose Christ as one option among many. NO. They knew they had nothing, and the offer of Christ to them was SO AWESOME AND GREAT, they were so grateful to have received it.
- The original guests would have come in and sat down in front and think nothing of it. They would expect food to be served, eat, talk, have a few laughs and go home. It would be no big deal. But for the lame, crippled, and blind, they would not be able to believe their eyes. Just this morning, I was begging for bread near the market. Who is this guy, this host? Ah yes, he is the BREAD OF LIFE! GOD WOULD BE HONORED!!!
Christ would not be an OPTION, He was a NEED, A JOY, A PRIVILEGE. .......AND THIS GLORIFIES THE VERY WORTH OF GOD....!!!!! DO YOU SEE WHY GOD IS PLEASED WITH THE BLIND, LAME, CRIPPLED; AND DISPLEASED WITH THE PROUD AND ARROGANT?
- John Newton (author of the traditional hymn, Amazing Grace ) once said these poignant words:
1) Amazed at the people that ARE there that I didn't think would be there
2) Amazed at the people that AREN'T there that I thought would be there
....but most of all....
3) I'd be amazed that I'D BE THERE AT ALL!!!!
Non-believers have no power in themselves to love Christ and find him. God has to love us and find us. God can change hearts (hardened hearts, worldly hearts, unbelieving hearts, sinful hearts, hurting hearts - HE CAN CHANGE THEM ALL!!!)
One of the greatest miracles that Christ can do is not walking on the water, calming the storm, changing water into wine, multiplying the fish and the loaves, etc. but the miracle of changing a person's heart!!!! HE CAN CHANGE YOUR HEART ALSO!!!! Pray to Him, be a beggar, acknowledge your sin, and say Yes to his invitation.
We've already accepted the invitation, but so many times we make excuses. We're in Christianity, but not always in Christ - daily relationship and feasting from His presence.
Then we got the Q & A session... (Ahem... I couldn't answer all the questions... =\)
1.What makes u think that the 3 persons who gave their excuses are just excuses not reasons? (Hwei's question)
There are 2 kinds of invitation... The 1st is given some time before the event... like 1 or 2 weeks 2nd is given as a reminder... like the night before...
Shuen's example :
Shuen : When i got a party right,i would let u all know bout my party like 1 or 2 weeks before... Then on the night before my party i would remind u all "Hey,my party's tmw know? Dun forget...
Sharma : What if i got to know that i've got my interview on the same night when u remind me?
Shuen : Then that would be a legal excuse not to come to my party lo...
Jesus already told us that he will come again to earth and that will be his 2nd coming... Unlike the party,which the time is already told exactly when is the party, His 2nd coming is not exactly told when... So,we're supposed to watch out for signs and apparently at the moment,alot of His signs are already showing... So,we have to be on our guard... For his 2nd coming will be like the robber thingy... Where the time is unknown and at the hour when we least expect...
2.Why are the poor,blind,lame and crippled not called first? Why are the rich 1s called first? (Ah Mah's question... She then adds,is it because they can't dress up properly? And then with some giggles..)
This is because the Jews(the rich) were called first and they were chosen by GOD... But when they neglect the LORD, the Gentiles(the poor,blind.. etc) were called next... This is because GOD has made the covenant with Abraham that Abraham's family is the chosen 1... And out of Abraham,the Jews are formed.. Which is Israel...
And if the Jews did not neglect the LORD,they continue to obey him 100%.. We,Gentiles, are all doomed... So,actually,we are thankful to them that we have the privilege and chance...
Oh my... I think that's all for now.. I'm like super tired now... And got to wake up early summore.. So,i'll stop for now.... ^ ^ Good nite to all.. ^ ^ Hahaha... Like wat gary always say cheerioz~~ hahaha.. ^ ^
And here's to promote MGC's blog... Ahahaha...
Bad Day.... But there's still GRACE
I know my results are not smth to be proud of or deserve a congrats but I just want my dad to know that,I've tried my best...(song running through my head at that moment was Perfect-Simple Plan).. Maybe I am just stupid... Also,for DMSJ,I tried to study but those facts just wun enter my head... I've tried to make MGC proud but i still failed.. Instead of scolding me,Hwei gave me a free dinner.... It was like GRACE....
I really really really do love going to church.... Cause it's the place where i felt like i belong and no matter how bad i may screw up,there are always people saying "It's OK... U've played not bad with the drums..." Or like when i kinda brought the MGC score down during DMSJ,there's always some1 who is always there telling me that It's OK... Of course,she would correct me at times during practice but sometimes I still failed to get it right... But still,she's always there to say "It's OK"..
I may not be as good as those around me who has good memory and all... But 1 thing's for sure,and that's I love them all very very much for they are the 1s who really showed me GOD's love... It's grace... Smth that i dun deserve but still i got it...
So,I would like to thank everybody in church for making me feel like I belong somewhere...
This is Just Sweet...
This song i heard from Shu Lynn's blog... The video is really sweet... Watch it... ^ ^

Why Baby Sleep Is So Stressful And How I Found Peace With It
Returning to the States, we've had a bit of jet lag at our house, so I've been soothing Bodie back to sleep when he wakes at around 4am. Since I have to be careful not to create a bad habit for both of us, on our third night home yesterday, we decided to let him cry it out and settle himself back into routine. I don't know why it felt much harder - maybe it's been a while - but for the twenty seven minutes that he tossed and turned and whined and wailed, I was under the covers, double checking the research on the long term impact of cry it out. Don't worry, all signs still point to it being good for kids in teaching them the skill of sleeping and for parents in saving sanity. Further proof, Bodie woke this morning happy as a clam.
Of the many choices we have in parenting, our approach to our kids' sleep seems to be one that can be an ongoing means of bonding or disagreement. Friends of mine were shocked when they heard I still occasionally go to Bodie if he cries in the middle of the night when he's teething or cold-y (I can't bear how frustrating it must be not to blow your own nose!). My mother in law is totally perplexed by why we put him to sleep at 630 and thinks it's way too early. My husband thinks I'm neurotic that I insist on Bodie taking his nap in his crib. And it's common chat with friends for the entirety of the 12-18 month stretch about when we're ready to drop from two to one nap.
Given how much we talk about it, it's not surprising that we internalize our baby's sleep as a benchmark of our success as parents. So, I definitely thought I'd earned my stripes when Bodie slept through the night by twelve weeks old without any particular sleep training besides regular feeding during the day. And then I definitely felt like my world was falling apart when he was suddenly up every few hours at night at 16 weeks (the infamous 4 month regression). I had been so diligent about feeding during the day, sleep routines, what could go wrong? The book I picked up and now recommend to friends, was 12 Hours by 12 Weeks. I admit I skimmed the sections that felt pertinent and skipped the parts I didn't like. Ultimately, I adjusted his feedings a little, moved his bedtime up, kept up with his bedtime routine of a bath, books and bottle and let the rest play out.
And the regression passed. And in the time it took to pass, Bodie grew - he rolled, he saw further and he grew more engaged. And so I came to accept and really embrace the research that regressions, big or small, are correlated with your baby's growth and development. So next time we had a sleep bump, I felt a whole lot calmer knowing that he was just a little being growing and changing a ton so night wakings were par for the course and would pass.
The only issue being that the next bump was in the late summer of last year when we are often away with family. We finally caved and decided to do some version of "cry it out light". We didn't follow any method knowing that Bodie wasn't the type of child, nor were we the type of parents, where going in intermittently and systematically would help. We just decided to go cold turkey or "full extinction", as the experts say. It took him a full and exact thirty minutes to put himself back to sleep the first night, and twenty the next and by night three he got the memo.
Today, on the spectrum, I'm happy with the amount of sleep Bodie and subsequently, we get. But I'm not going to say every night in the last year has been a perfect twelve hour rest. There have been ear infections, fevers, colds and just unexplained sleep bumps. But the bumps don't feel as rattling or worse, like a failure, because of two things that I remind myself every time. The first being that, like grown ups, when we're unwell or going through changes, once in a while Bodie needs a bit more. It's not a sign of any larger issue or problem with him or us. And second, I know it passes and we can re-set habits. Meaning if I do choose or have to go in on a troublesome night, I'm not shattering all good habits but in a few days, when he (and I) are settled and soothed, it will take about a day or two of cry it out light to refresh him.
This is all to say, that like all else, it's about what works for you and your family. We all know our own tolerance level and our kids' needs better than anyone else.
Did you sleep-train? Do you go in and soothe often, sometimes or not at all? Do you feel like sleep is a hot topic for you? Or if you are past the toddler stage, what's been your experience in later years? I would love you to share xo

The Triple A facility brings several innovations to the crafting of jewellery. It incorporates flow lines where artificial intelligence vehicles transport product parts between work stations manned by up to 5,000 craftspeople. Craftspeople with different skills are seated together to secure a smooth process flow and improve productivity and quality.
The new crafting facility has achieved LEED Gold certification (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) and meets the highest sustainability standards. Wastewater is recycled to save up to 60 percent on water consumption. Energy-saving exhaust systems are implemented. A rooftop garden reduces overall energy consumption and allows employees to relax outdoors.
Triple A is an expansion built next to PANDORA's existing crafting facility in Gemopolis on the outskirts of Bangkok. The Gemopolis facility first opened in 2005 and today employs close to 10,000 people.

More from Daisy Luther – The Organic Prepper
"They've rolled out a program called MasculinUT that treats men as though they are violent rapists just waiting for a woman on whom to force themselves. And, you know, slap around a little, because apparently, that is what men do. The project praises a poster of a black man with a flower crown, but mourns that masculinity "should go further than that."> ~ https://www.lewrockwell.com/2018/05/daisy-luther/why-the-war-on-men-is-hurting-everyone/

Automatic Copyrights
Your work obtains an "automatic copyright" as soon as you reduce it to a tangible medium -- such as recording a song -- as long as it is original. You may then sue an infringing party for any damages his infringement caused you. The main disadvantage of an automatic copyright is that it is often difficult to prove damages. To prove that you were damaged by someone who uploaded your copyrighted song to a popular website, for example, you might have to show that a certain number of people listened to your song on the website instead of purchasing it from you.
Works for Hire
A work for hire copyright is created when one party agrees to create a work in exchange for payment from another party. The moment the work is created, it belongs to the party who paid for the work rather than the party who created it. An example of a work for hire might be a magazine feature article written by a writer who signed a work-for-hire agreement prior to his employment with the magazine.
Registered Copyrights
The U.S. Copyright Office will register the work of copyright holders who apply for registration. Once a work is registered, the copyright holder is automatically entitled to sue an infringing party in federal court. He does not need to prove damages, and he can collect up to $150,000 per work in statutory fines from the infringing party, depending on the discretion of the court. Alternatively, the copyright holder may still sue for damages if he can prove the amount of damages.
International Copyright Treaties
Two major copyright treaties exist: the Berne Convention and the Universal Copyright Convention. Most of the nations of the world have signed at least one of these two treaties -- and the United States has signed both. These treaties allow works created in one nation to be copyrighted in other treaty nations. Protection abroad, however, is subject to the copyright law of the nation that grants copyright protection. For example, a work created in the United States is protected in Canada, but Canadian law rather than U.S. law determines the date the copyright expires.

Ten Foot Wizard - Sleeping Volcanoes
Ten Foot Wizard is back bitches! If you haven't heard them yet then I hope you have a speedy recovery from your coma and join me in worshipping the 2nd explosive album Sleeping Volcanoes.
Ten Foot Wizard has returned with a fresh playfulness of blues, atmospheric, stoner buzz that tickles your funny bones and sooths the soul. Each song is perfectly placed and the entire album is utterly captivating. Not only will it rock your odd socks off but will also alter reality and have you believing you're a forest mage with a hat made from liquorish, tripping off some funky looking mushrooms you found by next doors the vegetable patch.
Guitars riffs and drums are seamless and harmonious with a sprinkling of talismanic, groove juice. Gary's sound box is arousing and celestial, even therapeutic. You cannot help but join in with his delicate tones and his resonating growls in I Miss the Sex and agree that no one misses the drama.
I love the raw, blues sound of Walk the Plank, the jive enticing riffs of Through this World and menacing cow bells with the bodacious hook of Railway Shuffle… and of course the insatiable beats of I'm covered in Tits. However Ode to Death is my personal album winner leaving you serene and content in tranquil induced bliss.
The album artwork by Beard of Zeus conjures a necromantic view and is deftly done.
Therefore girls and boys, and all other groove loving mythical creatures I implore you to wrap your ear flaps around this albums and buy these guys a well-deserved drink if you see them about. I doff my hat to you Sir's.
Words: Natalie Hughes

It's becoming quite a Kanye West world when the guy is invading every format of entertainment and or media. Sure we've got his music. And it's pretty good. But his ability to interrupt other artists from their glorying moment has gone too far at times. Now he's all over fashion with his line for Adidas. The guy is a nonstop machine.
Sure he's made an appearance in Anchorman 2, but now he wants to make an appearance in the just announced Zoolander 2? Supposedly someone has told The Sun that "Kanye is friends with Will Ferrell and appeared briefly in Anchorman 2 but he wanted to be in Zoolander 2 even more. It's very likely that Kim Kardashian will also appear in some capacity."
The Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson comedy will be released fifteen years after the original. Being directed by Stiller and written by Jennifer Aniston's fiancé Justin Theroux, it's expected to be released February 2016.
Are we going to see West and Kardashian? Only time will tell. But if he does, it looks like it's going to be another long West kind of year.
Maybe he'll be performacing his new track "All Day" in the movie the way he did at the Brit Awards, flame throwers and all:

Hold down the power button, a power screen will pop up. When it pops up press the home button till the home screen reappears. You'll see on the top left, you'll have numbers which replaces bars or circles that indicated your network.
These numbers are typically expressed as a negative number, If you see numbers between -40 and -80 the signal is strong. Anything below that is a bad signal, and if you're down around -140, you have no signal.

Shortly after arriving in Italy, I accepted an invitation to a book signing and reading event in Rome. When I learned of the book's subject matter (a thirty-something woman who finds love with an Italian and moves to Rome) I thought, Oh no, not another fairy tale about coming to Italy, having an affair with Marcello Mastroianni and living happily ever after! Needless to say I was skeptical. Seriously, is there anyone out there who could bring freshness to this tired and overly saturated genre of storybook fantasies alla Three Coins in a Fountain, Under the Tuscan Sun and Eat, Pray, Love? I know I sound jaded, but my expectations are low.
After a brief introduction author Estelle Jobson sat down on a cushion in the courtyard of The Beehive Hotel, opened her book, Finding Rome on the Map of Love, and began to read. As I listened to her recount the stories, I noticed the corners of my mouth began to spontaneously turn upward. Her elegant and proper South African accent was in sharp contrast to the wry, sardonic and sassy repartee. Hey, this girl gets it! When she finished I was a bit sad, but fortunately I'd purchased my very own autographed copy of the book and immediately cracked it open on the train back to Orvieto.
During the first couple of chapters, I was gulping down Estelle's pages the way a typical American might eat their dinner: swallowing without taking time to taste. Perhaps I've been in Italy long enough that a voice inside my head warned, "Don't be in a hurry. Savor each flavor and texture." This book was just like a good Italian meal; I never wanted the literary feast to end. And when it did end, I felt warm and utterly satisfied.
Estelle Jobson is a talented writer who has a true gift for observation. She describes things that, as an expatriate, I'd experienced but was never able to fully articulate. What appreciate most about Estelle's storytelling is the way she doesn't laugh at Italians, she laughs with them. Her book is filled with intelligent humor, compassion, and edgy insight. She's sarcastic without being mean; clever without being pretentious; and emotional without being overly sentimental. Estelle sees Italians the way they really are and reconfirms, at least for me, why I love living among them.
I'll stay with the food analogy just a little bit longer. I really enjoyed chewing slowly on every single delicious "bite" of Finding Rome on the Map of Love. Her words were proprio buonissime!

Americas Awards
While the magazine has typically reported on developments in retail and high-net-worth markets, one thing we noticed while compiling these awards was the importance of corporate clients to the structured products community in the Americas. Compared to Europe, these markets may still be in their infancy, but innovation is alive and kicking and, in some instances, the best evidence of this can be seen with reference to corporate deals. As a result, we have included considerable coverage of such developments (particularly in the case of our innovation of the year award) and will continue to do so in our monthly publication on a global basis.
Our innovation of the year award was open to every company active in the structured products market - be they a distributor, structurer, index provider, technology company or law firm. As such it is the most competitive award category. Our other awards recognise excellence in specific areas and all winners can be justifiably proud of their achievements.
Winners were chosen from a large field in every category, after careful consideration by the Structured Products editorial team. Over the past year, we have noted achievements and asked the market for their opinions as to who is the best in the business. We took these comments on board, conducted our own research and devised a shortlist for each category. We then conducted interviews with the respective companies and decided upon the winner in-house.
Structured Products congratulates all the winners, and encourages those who missed out to look forward to next year's awards.
Award write ups were complied by Paul Lyon, John Ferry and Amanda Lee.

We're converting the Midco cable TV analog signals to digital signals, which allows for more space on the network for higher-bandwidth services in the future. This initiative will help prepare the Midco Network in Kansas for rolling out gigabit internet (via modem) to homes and businesses in 2018!
Effective April 4, customers temporarily lost access to channels until the proper cable TV equipment is installed.1
For a limited time, Midco is providing up to three HD digital adapters free of monthly leasing charges.1
Residential customers can choose:
Business customers will get HD digital adapters professionally installed by a Midco technician. Give us a call at 1.800.888.1300 to order your equipment.
Please note that all equipment remains property of Midco and must be returned to Midco in good condition (normal wear and tear accepted) when cable TV service is no longer provided. You'll be responsible for the replacement cost of non-returned equipment.
HD digital adapters are smaller devices with a simple program guide. HD digital adapters do not support ON Demand, premium channels,
pay-per-view or personal settings such as parental controls. You will have access to HD channels if you have an HDTV.
Other Midco cable equipment offers more robust options for access to ON Demand, premiums, PPV, parental controls and an interactive, on-screen guide.
To learn more, contact us at 1.800.888.1300.
After you receive your equipment, check out our easy, step-by-step install instructions included in the box and at Midco.com/Self-Install.

Residential customers: Check out our convenient self-install tutorials, which include videos and install instructions. If you have questions or are a business customer, please contact us at 1.800.888.1300 or stop by our Customer Experience Center.
View the power light on the HD digital adapter to determine the activation status.
The remote control must be programmed to your TV; instructions are included with your remote. If you have programmed your remote control, try to program it again.

Welcome to Year 6! Our class teacher is Miss. Borrill and our teaching assistant is
Mrs. Travis
It doesn't seem that long ago that your children started in reception and here they are embarking on their final year at Stockbridge Village Primary. Year Six is a challenging year; the best way to describe it is like a roller coaster ride!
In Year Six we do have the challenge of SATs and we work really hard to ensure that ALL the children have the best opportunity possible to achieve their full potential. However, we also try to ensure that we have fun along the way and provide the children with some lasting memories!
Developing independence is a really important part of being in Year Six. We are very aware that part of our role in school is to prepare our children for their move to secondary school and with this in mind much of the year six curriculum encourages responsibility and independence. From the moment the children enter year six they are responsible for their own learning, expectations are high and they are encouraged to work independently.
Responsibilities are also earned in the form of Prefects.
Timetables Practice- Year 6 children are expected to know all of their multiplication tables up to 12×12. This should be practised regularly at home.
Daily Reading-This should be 15 minutes with someone at home and Reading Records must be signed and dated.
Weekly Homework-
Maths/Literacy Weekly Homework will be given out each Friday and due in on the following week. Homework should never cause anxiety or worry.
Reading for Pleasure List
As I am sure you are aware, as well as being an enjoyable pastime, reading impacts hugely on children's writing ability and general learning. We encourage children to read as much as possible, both at home and in school.
To assist with the difficult task of choosing a new book, I have put together a recommended reading list for year 6.

Air freight for goods that need to arrive quickly
It's not always possible to choose the cheapest type of transport. Sometimes, time is of an essance and the most important factor. It differs quite a lot of time between the carriage of goods by air freight, compared to ocean freight. You can expect around 40 days delivery time with ocean freight transport from China.
By air it takes about six days, from door to door. A third option is rail freight which is faster than ocean freight and cheaper than air freight.
Finding the right shipping-method
It's up to you as a customer whether you choose to deliver your goods by air, rail or ocean. TKL Logistics always puts the customers needs first. By utilizing the skills of our employees, both in Sweden, our offices in Asia and our partners throughout the world, we'll help you find the best possible solution for each situation.

Douglas M. Lange, M.D.
Dr. Douglas LangeOrthopedic Surgeon
MOS Locations:
Walnut Creek (Sequoia Building)
Dr. Lange practices general orthopedic surgery with a special interest in total joint reconstruction and replacement for the hip and knee. He is trained in minimally invasive surgery for hips and knees.
Approach to Treatment
Joint replacement surgery is incredibly gratifying work. I love to see a patient restored to a pain free and active lifestyle.
For years Dr. Lange has focused on joint replacement surgery, attending each year a number of national meetings related to joint replacement techniques, as well as visiting the operating rooms of other joint replacement specialists across the country to learn their special techniques.
Over recent years he has restricted his practice to total hip and total knee replacement surgery, allowing him to focus, performing between 250 and 300 total joints per year.
Dr. Lange applies 35 years of experience to offer innovative orthopedic treatment without sacrificing personalized attention. His genuine concern for his patients shows in his communication and kindness. His sensitivity to senior issues drives him to seek out new and innovative procedures, which shorten the recovery time.
Dr. Lange can perform the MIS (minimally invasive surgery) surgical techniques on both hips and knees. His emphasis and priority are to perform total joint surgery that will last a lifetime, following precise and efficient techniques with minimal complications, including primarily using Zimmer implants. Most patients are home within three days.
Fortunately, most hip and knee conditions do not require surgery and can be managed conservatively. He makes every effort to provide the best quality of care in the most personal fashion possible, striving to educate patients regarding all aspects of conservative and surgical alternatives so that they can make the most intelligent decision regarding their orthopedic care.
Meet Dr. Lange
A natural leader with infinite patience, he has held numerous leadership positions including Chief of Orthopaedic Surgery and Chief of Medical Staff at John Muir Medical Center. He also served on the Board of Trustees at John Muir Medical Center.
Dr. Douglas Lange began practicing orthopedic medicine in 1975 after earning his medical degree from Emory University in Atlanta, GA. Dr. Lange completed his ensuing internship and residency at the University of California, San Francisco, where his southern demeanor and dedication inspired both patients and colleagues and complemented the extensive training.
Growing up in the South, Dr. Lange arrive in Walnut Creek, California in 1975, where he met and married his wife.
Alumni Organizations:

In the News

Eleven newborn babies are burned alive in their incubators after fire rips through maternity hospital in Baghdad
Iraqi authorities say the deadly blaze was likely sparked by an electrical fault
A FIRE at a maternity ward killed 11 newborn babies when it ripped through a hospital in Baghdad overnight.
At least seven other children - including three suffering from smoke inhalation - and 29 women were also rescued from the Yarmouk Hospital and transferred to another site.
The fire broke out at around midnight local time in one of the maternity wards and also severely damaged the building, the country's Health Ministry said.
At the scene this morning, forensic teams in masks and protective gloves were seen searching through the rubble and charred pieces of furniture.
A yellow tape stretched across the ward entrance, preventing reporters from getting closer.
Some of the crying relatives outside claimed their babies were still missing and demanded an answer from authorities.
One father, 30-year-old Hussein Omar, a construction worker, said he lost twins in the blaze, a baby boy and a girl born last week. The hospital told him to go look for them at another Baghdad hospital where some of the patients were moved to during the fire.

He said he looked and couldn't find them anywhere so he came back to Yarmouk. The hospital staff then told him to go look at the morgue.
"I only found charred pieces of flesh," Omar said, crying. "I want my baby boy and girl back. The government must give them back to me."
Nearby, Shaima Hassan stood dazed and trembling in shock after losing her two-day-old son. The 36-year old had spent more than a year visiting hospitals in and outside Iraq trying to conceive.
"I waited for ages to have this baby and when I finally had him, it took only a second to lose him," she said, holding a bunch of blackened documents with her hands, covered with burns.
She recounted how the chaos began at midnight at the ward, located on the ground floor.
"People started screaming, 'Fire, fire' and running," said Hassan. She and her husband, who was visiting them, ran toward the room for the newborns but were stopped by a wall of thick smoke.
"Then someone broke a window and threw me out," she added.
Eshrak Ahmed Jaasar, 41, said she is unable to find her four-day-old nephew.
"I came early this morning to see my nephew and his mother, but they told me about the fire," Jasaar said. "My nephew is still missing and his mother was moved to another hospital ward."
She said she was still in shock and felt very bitter.
"We pay the hospital employees thousands of Iraqi dinars to allow us in to get our loved ones basic food and milk, which they cannot provide," Jasaar said. "It's a corrupt government that doesn't care about its citizens and lets this happen."
Umm Ahmed came to Yarmuk on Tuesday when a close relative of hers gave birth. The baby died in the inferno and the mother suffered burns, she said.
"I am looking for our child, they told me 'go find him in the fridge'," said the middle-aged woman.
"I found him in a small cardboard box but I'm not even sure if it's our child or a piece of sponge. It looks like charcoal," said the woman, wearing a black over-garment.
"I just want our child, somebody give him to me," she cried.
Baghdad authorities quickly sealed off the hospital and barred media from the site.
Electrical fires are common in the Iraqi capital and elsewhere across the country because of shoddy maintenance and poor wiring. A lack of fire escapes also contributes to the danger whenever a fire breaks out.
There is also widespread failure by construction companies and those providing building material to follow accepted standards.
Pictures posted on social media showed the hospital in a state of neglect, with cockroaches crawling out from between broken tiles, dustbins overflowing with rubbish, dirty toilets and patients lying on stretchers in the courtyard.
The relative of a patient who died recently in the hospital from meningitis said he saw cockroach crawling along the tube of an oxygen mask.
He said: "It was so dirty we had to bring our own bed sheets."
Yarmouk Hospital, located in the capital's southwest, is the second largest in the city and is regularly used to treat those injured by violence.
The hospital itself has also been the target of several bombings.
A suicide bomber detonated his vest outside the hospital in 2005, and in 2006 a car bomb exploded in front of the building.
Last year a car bomb also exploded in its car park, killing three people.

WASHINGTON (CNS) — Spending time in adoration of the Blessed Sacrament is an opportunity "to reflect on something at the very heart of our faith — the enduring presence of Christ in the Eucharist," Cardinal Donald W. Wuerl of Washington said March 8.
"As we make our way along our Lenten pilgrimage … we come together to recognize the presence of Jesus, not just in his words, not just in his actions, but in his enduring presence in the Eucharist," Cardinal Wuerl said.
Cardinal Wuerl made his remarks during a Mass in the Crypt Church at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington to open the national shrine's observance of "24 Hours for the Lord."
A worldwide initiative to encourage adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, "24 Hours for Lord" was introduced by Pope Francis during the 2016 Year of Mercy. It has since become an annual Lenten event organized by the Pontifical Council for the New Evangelization.
About 200 people attended the opening Mass at the national shrine.
Cardinal Wuerl called the Eucharist "bread that contains eternal life for those who eat it" and "a perpetual memorial to Christ's death and resurrection."
Recalling Christ's words at his Last Supper — "Do this in memory of me" — when Jesus instituted the Eucharist, Cardinal Wuerl said the Catholic Church "continues to do this at every celebration of Mass."
"What we proclaim in the Eucharist — Christ's death and resurrection — is at the heart of our faith," Cardinal Wuerl said.
Stressing "the real presence of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament," the cardinal reminded those in the Crypt Church that "wherever the Sacrament is, there Christ is. Jesus chose to be with us (in the Blessed Sacrament) out of love for us."
At the start of Mass, Msgr. Walter Rossi, rector of the national shrine, noted that the annual event was an opportunity for the faithful "to touch the grandeur of God's mercy."
He said that while the worldwide celebration is 24 hours in duration, the devotion at the national shrine would continue for 48 hours, with confessions being heard six hours each day and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament available every moment that a Mass is not being celebrated.
"May these days bring God's abundant mercy and blessings upon all who come before the Lord in Mary's shrine as well as for those who unite themselves with us in spiritual communion at home," Msgr. Rossi said.
At the end of the Mass, the Blessed Sacrament was placed on the altar in an ornate monstrance, and Cardinal Wuerl led the faithful in adoration and veneration.
"Offering adoration to Jesus in the Eucharist, the Blessed Sacrament, is a graced moment, one that brings us into the presence of our Lord," Cardinal Wuerl said. "It is truly a mystery but also a wonderful gift."
Archbishop Christophe Pierre, apostolic nuncio to the United States, was to celebrate the closing Mass for the devotion the evening of March 10 in the national shrine's Great Upper Church, concluding with a eucharistic procession followed by Benediction.
Szczepanowski is on the staff of the Catholic Standard, newspaper of the Archdiocese of Washington.

The Lure
Not nearly as fantastic as it sounds, the Polish horror/comedy/musical The Lure pulls from so many different genres and inspirations that it can't decide what it wants to be.
Unable to master nor marry its discordant parts, Agnieszka Smoczynska's remix of Hans Christian Andersen's Little Mermaid finds carnivorous aquatic sisters Silver (Marta Mazurek) and Gold (Michalina Olszanska) stepping on land in 1980s Warsaw and promptly become nightclub singing stars.
Sprouting impressively-constructed mono-fins with a splash of water, the sirens have legs, but to quote Alan Rickman's Metatron from Dogma when referring to his private parts, they're "as anatomically correct as a Ken doll" below the waist.
Their non-humanness makes Smoczynska's invited ogling of their would-be nether regionssomewhat less crude, though the Lolita factor remains disturbingly high in interactions with sleazy older men and as Silver unconvincingly falls for bassist Mietek (Jakub Gierszal).
Despite these shortcomings, The Lure is at its best in the rare instances when it commits to a single genre component. The lone case when the cast bursts into a full-fledged musical number, complete with choreography, is a La La Land level delight and the nymphs' piranha-like teeth and savage use of them on unsuspecting victims suggest a bright future for Smoczynska should she decide to focus on horror.
The film also benefits when the mermaids move away from the unappealing nightclub staff, management and clientele and encounter other water dwellers taking dry holidays. Chief among these peers is punk rocker Tryton (Marcin Kowalczyk), who reminds Gold that if Silver falls in love with Mietek and goes through with surgery to make her human, she'll not only lose her angelic singing voice but turn to sea foam if he marries someone else.
While the inevitable operating room sequence should earn the make-up and prop departments a standing ovation, the events that follow suffer by returning to the world of the dullards. A few final thrills remain before the credits roll, but they're not nearly enough to save the overall work.

Running For President When Nobody
Knows Your Name
Craig Tomashoff
Inside the Book
Title: The Can't-idates: Running For President When Nobody Knows Your NameI'm not a political person by nature. Most of the time, it seems the political world plays out more like a lame '70s sitcom with all its predictable characters and routine storylines. However, last spring, I got tired of hearing friends and family complain about the lack of exciting, innovative candidates for president. Everyone seemed ready to vote for "None Of the Above." So, I decided to take a 10,000-mile road trip across America in May 2015 to meet several of the more than 1600 "real people" who are legit candidates for the presidency. Including a couple in New England.

The Can't-idates is about dreamers — not all of whom are tin-foil hat crazy — who just want to fill a hole in their lives by running for president. And as I drove to meet them all, I realized a lot about not just my life but also about the country. If we could all take time to believe in what our parents always told us — "Someday you can grow up to be president" — maybe we wouldn't be in the shape we're in.
Craig Tomashoff is a freelance writer/producer based in Los Angeles. He blogs regularly at HuffingtonPost.com. Most recently, he was a producer for The Queen Latifah Show. Prior to that, he served as Executive Editor of TV Guide, and has also worked as Associate Bureau Chief for People. In addition, he has written for the Hollywood Reporter, the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times and Emmy magazine. He is the author of You Live, You Learn: The Alanis Morissette Story and co-wrote I'm Screaming As Fast As I Can: My Life In B-Movies with Linnea Quigley.
Is running for the Commander in Chief just for those rich politicians that have a well known name, money and a political background? Well, in a way it is. Those people seem to have a much better chance at winning than the ordinary person. Few know, but there are regular folks out there from all walks of life, who have that dream, who want change and want to bring about that change. But can it be done? This book takes a look at 15 of the unknown candidates who started out running for this prestige office. They wanted to do this for various reasons, mostly for change. Maybe change for themselves, maybe change for others including our country. Some of the people had some far out reasons for running, others some very sincere reasons. Everybody wants to believe that the American dream is within their reach but how many actually reach that dream? The author adds humor and so much of himself and what he went through and felt during writing this book. It's a down to earth look at politics from the little guy's eyes.
Politics can and is, at times, a nasty dirty, mud slinging fight. Words are said, lies are told, people hurt all in the name of being in control of the United States of America.
SO if you're interested in the little guy and some of their stories on their search for the dream of being Commander in Chief, than pick up this book and take some of the edge off of the nasty politics. It's written with honesty, humor and some interesting facts. You will smile and you'll wonder, I want change, could I run for this office? Who knows, someday you may.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author, Craig Thomashoff and PUYB in exchange for my unbiased and honest review. No other compensation took place.
I would give this book 5 STARS.

B/13/00678/FHA 14 School Street
This application for replacement windows is being made because the terrace is protected by an Article 4(2) Direction. The application in its present form, for upvc windows, should be refused. We feel that despite the Direction this terrace has not been managed well. No 18 has upvc windows and the upgraded timber windows are of excessively large sections. Fortunately the original front doors have not been replaced by pseudo Georgian versions.
There is a wider issue here since there now are few intact terraces remaining. We have expressed concern about the future of the one in Church Street and a few days ago the middle house of the short terrace in Acton Square, 8,9,10, had upvc windows fitted, plus the front door. Perhaps you should look at this one and consider whether this Direction should be extended to all domestic properties in the Conservation Area to prevent further damage to the town's heritage.


text: - I earned my PhD at the University of Connecticut, USA specializing in global seismology. My work led to the proposal of a new structural configuration in the Earth's solid inner core that favours a hypothesis, in which the inner core growth is coupled to thermal heterogeneities near the core-mantle boundary by convection in the liquid outer core. Later I joined Instituto Superior Tecnico, Lisbon, Portugal and used seismic surface waves to construct one of the first countrywide shear wave velocity models of the crust to better constrain tectonics and seismic hazard. Also, I started working on the physics of intraplate earthquakes in the African continent there. During this time, I was also an Honorary Research Associate at University College London. Following this assignment, I worked at the University of Muenster in Germany, and conducted research on the fine-scale seismic structure near the Earth's inner core boundary. My work there led to the proposal of a non-linear growth mechanism, consistent with results of metallurgical experiments. At present, I am a Research Fellow in the School of Earth Sciences at the University of Melbourne, where I am developing computational tools to analyze seismicity in Victoria with an emphasis on Gippsland Basin.

Industry Ranking:
The fourth largest writer of private passenger auto insurance in the United States and the nation's largest writer of private passenger auto insurance through independent agents. Progressive is also the number one writer of motorcycle insurance in the US.
Our History
After purchasing five small auto service companies, Progressive Mutual Insurance Company was formed in Cleveland, March 10, 1937 by lawyers Joseph Lewis and Jack Green. The two founders provided auto-related services including insurance, while forever thinking of innovative ways to serve their customers.
But turmoil in the world in the early part of the 20th century was affecting American business, and Progressive was no different. America's focus on the war effort left the company struggling, frequently requiring capital contributions. It wasn't until the end of World War II that auto insurance became more popular and Progressive emerged small but solid.
With Progressive's constant drive to be one step ahead, in 1979, the company began experimenting with products for the financial services community. In 1994, Progressive surpassed $2 billion in premiums. The next year, forward-thinking Progressive became one of the first major auto insurance companies with a presence on the World Wide Web.
What Makes Progressive Progressive?
The country's fourth largest auto insurer, Progressive has been called a visionary company that is leading a wave of change within the industry. But what makes Progressive so progressive? Innovative products, a distinctive culture, and most importantly, a relentless commitment to providing unparalleled customer service.

HOUSTON, Texas — On Sunday a 33-year-old Mexican national was busted by Border Patrol agents for having large amounts of methamphetamine and heroin hidden inside her vehicle.
According to U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP), the suspect, a female, ignored an agent when he asked her to roll her window down for questioning at the Pine Valley Checkpoint near San Diego. The woman's behavior caused her to be referred to an inspection area, where drug-sniffing dogs found 39 bundles of meth and heroin.
The recovered drugs had a street value of more than $500,000. In total, the drugs weighed about 38 pounds.
The bundles were stored in a compartment under the dashboard, according to CBP.
The Drug Enforcement Administration currently has custody of the woman and drugs. The suspect faces charges relating to possession of illegal substances.

Ever since attending my first Casualties show, I've been smitten with plaid (and drummers). For the next couple of weeks, I saved my allowance, did a plethora of chores for family members, and refused to go anywhere that required dinero. Why? Because I wanted in on the plaid club and my ticket in would be a pair of hot pink plaid bondage pants from Trash and Vaudeville in St. Marks. Unfortunately, they did me no justice and my love affair with plaid quickly sizzled out.
And like a summer fling, I still look back, reminiscence and sadly wonder why it couldn't work for me.
Well, like a fairy tale with a happy ending I discovered it could work, it just couldn't encompass my entire lower body in bright pink. Now I opt to pair my plaid with (p)leather and somehow this je nai sais quoi miraculously oozes out. If only I knew about this je nai sais quoi effect earlier, high school would've been much easier.
