2008 (MMVIII) was a leap year starting on Tuesday (dominical letter FE) of the Gregorian calendar, the 2008th year of the Common Era (CE) and Anno Domini (AD) designations, the 8th year of the 3rd millennium, the 8th year of the 21st century, and the 9th year of the 2000s decade.
2008 was designated as:
Hong Kong (香港; "Fragrant Harbour"), officially Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China, is an autonomous territory on the southern coast of China at the Pearl River Estuary and the South China Sea. Hong Kong is known for its skyline and deep natural harbour. It has a land area of 1104 km2 and shares its northern border with Guangdong Province of Mainland China. With around 7.2 million inhabitants of various nationalities, Hong Kong is one of the world's most densely populated metropolises.
After the First Opium War (1839–42), Hong Kong became a British colony with the perpetual cession of Hong Kong Island, followed by Kowloon Peninsula in 1860 and a 99-year lease of the New Territories from 1898. Hong Kong remained under British control for about a century until the Second World War, when Japan occupied the colony from December 1941 to August 1945. After the Surrender of Japan, the British resumed control. In the 1980s, negotiations between the United Kingdom and the China resulted in the 1984 Sino-British Joint Declaration, which provided for the transfer of sovereignty of Hong Kong on 30 June 1997. The territory became a special administrative region of China with a high degree of autonomy on 1 July 1997 under the principle of one country, two systems. Disputes over the perceived misapplication of this principle have contributed to popular protests, including the 2014 Umbrella Revolution.

Forty Four buildings in Hong Kong put on a light and sound show every night at 8 P.M. The show consists of colored lights on the outsides of buildings, lasers, spotlights, and fireworks (on special holidays), all synchronized to music. The buildings located on both sides of Victoria Harbour span a distance of 6.5 Km or 4 miles, so there is no one place to see all the buildings at the same time. The best locations for viewing the show are: Kowloon side - upper deck platform between Star Ferry and the Avenue of the Stars, or Island Side - from the waterfront at the Convention Center. The music for the show is played publicly at the above two locations, and on the radio at 103.4 and 106.8 FM.

Sie ist die schönste Tochter vom Stamme der Assiniboins: Ribanna, genannt die Rose vom Quicourt. Schon vor langer Zeit hat der junge Apachenhäuptling Winnetou sein Herz an sie verloren und sie erwidert seine Gefühle. Doch dann ist der Pelzjäger Old Firehand in ihr Leben getreten und plötzlich zweifelt Ribanna, wem sie ihre Liebe schenken soll. Da erscheint Parranoh, der diabolische Häuptling der Poncas. Er will Ribanna zur Frau, wird aber abgewiesen. Daraufhin schwört er Rache. Sein Verbündeter ist Emery Forster, der als zwielichtiger Ölbaron über die Ortschaft New Venango herrscht. Von all dem wissen Rosmatilda und Bonifatius Polterman aus Boston nichts. Der pensionierte Universitätsprofessor und seine etwas kratzbürstige Frau, die einen Roman über den Wilden Westen schreibt, möchten sich...

I looked at faith
I almost walked away
But I looked again
I found the nerve to close my eyes and say the words
To ask you in
And I heard no heavenly choir
No angels in whit attire
i got no amazing super hum omnipresent pow but....
CHORUS
I know You now
I know You now
I know You're in my heart
I know You now
Beyond the shadow of a doubt
I know You now
I look at peace, that once was out of reach
And now it's here
i read Your word that some believe is so absurd
But I hold dear, yea
'Cause You loved me with your dying breath
You saved me when You conquered death
