ABC new agreement


Nobody can tell that there’s no house nowadays without a TV, people everywhere use the TV to entertain themselves, to follow world news, or even to play games sometimes.
ABC the major company is planning to release new hit shows “Lost” and “Desperate Housewives” on Monday for free through the video-on-demand cable services.
Why is that? Walt Disney Co., the parent company of ABC, is planning to increase its income from advertising for the free video-on-demand on its website abc.com. The network progresses this activity in order to drive people back to television, though the different lifestyles of living don’t indicate people to watch it that way.
This public statement is done by agreement between ABC and its more than 200 associated organizations all over the country. These organizations are glad to sign this agreement because it will motivate them to take a part in this activity, which will also bring them good revenue. ABC is going to sell 4-9 commercials to advertisers while the associated organizations will be able to sell one 30seconds advertise.
The agreement involves cable provider Cox Communications Inc., it has the widest distribution over the country, and many customers are using its services, so it allows people to access to video-on-demand services. Which helps the ABC network spreads its offer faster.
The agreement has a good reaction from the people, they like the idea because they found it a good way for free services exchange. And it is also expand the on-demand offerings across the country. This activity is not the first to be done by a network to share its shows in a different way.
"Anything we can do to bring greater convenience to our customers is better for us," Grabert said, Cox spokesman.
I think such an activity mainly done to get better revenue, so it’s based mainly on a financial state. Then, the customers’ convenience comes second.

LOVE!


LOVE, nobody can live without love, it’s like the core of life, as long as love exists in your life; you will be able to live happily and to fill the gaps in your heart. Everybody’s looking for her/his soul mate, to complete the lost second half of her/his life. So, when you’re attracted to someone you like, you should consider many things in her/him. Understanding; the most important thing in a relationship, there should be a way that two people who’re falling in love should communicate through. Responsibility, a lover needs someone who s/he can count on, whenever you face problems you can run from your life to the one you love, s/he can relief you. Kindness, how do you love someone who can’t sympathize with you or could be nice in how s/he treat you? A lover got to have mercy. A person with an aim in life, this can be a reason to love someone; a person you can depend on, because you going to live with that person, so you’ll know how your life with her/hem would be!
Whenever you find someone who has those most important features, you can expose your love to him. But, Ouch! What if s/he doesn’t feel the same toward you? That’s the sad side of LOVE, where misery starts. I think you should change your destination whenever you are in such a situation. Good Luck!

The New Life!

Once I thought of studying abroad to continue my postgraduate studies, I thought about the new life, new people and new country to me that I have never been to. As an international student, there was alot for me to have in mind, the new path that I am going to be rolled by in attending classes and in dealing with this whole new thing to me.




This article "How To Survive in CSUF" in Daily Titan really gave me the headpoints of how to survive at CSUF. Making the goal and working on it to achive it takes alot of the student's time, by studying hard, doing all homeworks without deferment, and presenting required researchs on time.




Getting into a new life makes the student want to discover things around, so s/he will get excited about meeting new students, getting in the university's activities, and participating in events that university arrange for. Aside that, student is enrolling to study, so s/he needs to manage between studying and having fun to make a balance. Though, sometimes, the stress of having a sequence classes makes the student wants to escape from it, but that would be in weekends only, it's the only long break students have.
