Thinking of upgrading to Windows 10?

Rene, my son-in-law writes:
Have you been getting notifications to upgrade your computer Windows 10? If you have not upgraded yet here are a few tips and options.
Backup before upgrading. Most Windows 10 upgrades are successful, but you don’t want to risk not having a full recent backup of your data in case the unthinkable happens and you lose your pictures, documents, etc.
Windows 10 download is 3.5 gigabytes. If you don’t have unlimited downloads on your internet plan then downloading Windows 10 might take you over the limit and slow your internet down or you may incur extra charges. Check your plan before you do the download.
Upgrade can take hours. While Microsoft says the upgrade can take from 20 minutes to 1 hour I have not seen this to be the case. Each computer is different and from experience some have taken hours. It’s best to start the upgrade before bed or if you know you won’t need the computer for a few hours.
Some software might not work properly. While many companies are releasing Windows 10 compatible drivers and software there are still some that are not ready. If you have software on your computer that is not common or you have an old computer or printer then verify that have compatible drivers and software available.
Consider a professional to help you. If you find the above too hard to do or just can’t be bothered, but you want to upgrade to Windows 10, you can contact us to do the whole process for you. We’ll pick up your computer, run a full backup prior to upgrade. Check to ensure your computer will work with Windows 10, then perform the upgrade and bring your computer back to you ready to use. Contact the office on 02 8188 9777 or mobile 0402 936 861. Arrange for an upgrade by Friday 27 November and receive a 10% discount.
And please forward this on to your friends and family you think might find this helpful.
Have a great day!
Best,

How to Tell the Sex of a Fly

A woman walked into the kitchen to find her husband stalking around with a fly swatter.
“What are you doing?” she asked.
“Hunting Flies.” he responded.
“Oh. Killing any?” she asked.
“Yep, 3 males, 2 females.” he replied.
Intrigued, she asked, “How can you tell them apart?”
He responded, “3 were on a beer can, 2 were on the phone.”

The Universe Is In Your Bones

The Universe Is In Your Bones
You do not have a soul, you are a soul and you are immortal.
You are not energy but can create energy.
You are not in space but can consider yourself to be located thus you are.
You can consider yourself to be at any point on the time track.
The rest is not quite true.
Close your eyes and what you see is your universe.
Open them and you see the physical universe.
You co-create the physical universe every day.
The physical universe only exists because we view it.
Now, close your eyes and imagine a better physical universe.
Picture it.
Smell it.
Taste it.
Feel it.
Hear it.
Experience it.
Now, open your eyes.
Make the physical universe match your universe.
That’s what we being do best.
Conceive of a new reality then bring it into being.
The more of us do this, the faster the new reality manifests.
Let’s get imagining!

From A School Principal's Graduation Speech

He said “The Doctor wants his child to become a doctor………
the Engineer wants his child to become an engineer……
The Businessman wants his ward to become CEO…..
BUT a teacher also wants his child to become one of them, as well..!!!!
Nobody wants to become a teacher BY CHOICE” ….Very sad but that’s the truth…..!!!
He continues His story…
The dinner guests were sitting around the table discussing life.
One man, a CEO, decided to explain the problem with education. He argued, “What’s a kid going to learn from someone who decided his best option in life was to become only a teacher?”
To stress his point he said to another guest;
“You’re a teacher, Mrs. Singh. Be honest. What do you make?”
Teacher Mrs. Singh, who had a reputation for honesty and frankness replied, “You want to know what I make?
(She paused for a second, then began…)
“Well, I make kids work harder than they ever thought they could.
I make kids sit through 1 hr of class time when their parents can’t make them sit for 5 min. without an I-Pod, Game Cube or movie rental.
You want to know what I make?
(She paused again and looked at each and every person at the table)
I make kids wonder.
I make them question.
I make them apologize and mean it.
I make them have respect and take responsibility for their actions.
I teach them how to write and then I make them write.
Keyboarding isn’t everything.
I make them read, read, read.
I make them show all their work in math.
They use their God given brain, not the man-made calculator.
I make my students from other countries learn everything they need to know about India while preserving their unique cultural identity.
I make my classroom a place where all my students feel safe.
Finally, I make them understand that if they use the gifts they
were given, work hard, and follow their hearts, they can succeed in life.
(Mrs. Singh paused one last time and then continued.)
Then, when people try to judge me by what I make, with me knowing money isn’t everything, I can hold my head up high and pay no attention because they are ignorant. You want to know what I make..??
I MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN ALL YOUR LIVES, EDUCATING KIDS AND PREPARING THEM TO BECOME CEO’s, AND DOCTORS AND ENGINEERS……….
What do you make Mr. CEO?
His jaw dropped; he went silent.
THIS IS WORTH SENDING TO EVERY teacher you know & to others as well !!
Salute to all teachers…..
The author, a teacher/poet by the name of Taylor Mali wrote and performs the poem called “What Teachers Make”, and here are the true words.
