Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
OFW CONGRESS was established and promulgated its Constitution and By-Laws on March 15,1999.
The Executive Council known as the EXECON convened a CONCOM (Constitutional Commission) who adopted and promulgated its Constitution and By-Laws.
In Article II, Section 1 of its Constitution and By-Laws states the following:
The OFW Congress-Riyadh recognizes the enactment of Republic Act No. 8042 known as the Migrant Workers and Overseas Act of 1995. It shall therefore, act as partners of the State in the protection of Filipino migrant workers and in the promotion of their welfare. Towards this end, the organization shall plan, initiate, advocate, and spearhead the drafting, lobbying, passage of motions, measures, resolutions and position papers on vital issues affecting the rights, welfare and economic well being of the OFW's.
Genuine unification of OFWs in Riyadh had always been elusive, despite efforts for unification of community leaders and the Philippine embassy officials for years. It was only in 1998, aptly perhaps as it was also the Centennial Year of Philippine Independence, when unification became an apparent reality through a plan to create the OFW Congress. The OFW Congress would be "a gathering of, and forum for, Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) in Riyadh to discuss key issues, concerns and problems affecting them and their families back home in the Philippines. Its process shall be democratic, through open and honest election of the Congress leadership with grassroots mandate; and among its specific objectives are (a) to serve as the unifying entity, and (b) to develop the social, economic and political conditions of OFWs through opportunities to be provided by the Congress.
On November 27 and December 4, 1998, elections were held 1998 at the OWWA Center to select the 21 Executive Council members from among 78 duly-registered candidates. The Committee on Elections, consisting of the Philippine Embassy staff, supervised the election that was perceived by the community to have been free and honest. On December 11, 1998, the inaugural session of the Congress was then held at the Philippine embassy grounds in Riyadh. As the first-ever deliberative assembly of OFWs in Saudi Arabia, and possibly elsewhere, the Congress served as the highlighting event of the Filipino community's celebration of December as the OFW Month. On January 14, 1999, at the Philippine Embassy, the Executive Council selected its officers and assigned portfolios to the Council members.
It was a defining community experience when some 8,000 OFWs gathered to express their right of suffrage. (Many other compatriots were unable to vote because the OWWA Center could not accommodate the great number of people who gathered then.) Who would have imagined that we could hold such an exercise free of the goons, gold and guns so pervasive at home? Former Consul Jesus S. Domingo, who was chairman of the COMELEC, likened it to a blooming in full of a flower in the middle of the desert, born under the most trying of conditions. It was unprecedented, an achievement that prides us all to say that we can hold such clean, free and honest election. It yielded us a rich harvest of goodwill and allowed us to look forward as a community united in our efforts to promote our common good.
The structure of the OFW Congress definitely allows participation of organizations and individuals community-wide. In fact, the OFW Congress, through its General Assembly, is the forum for which organizations can discuss and resolve issues of common concern. So far, the General Assembly has convened twice through its Central Committee, and passed a number of resolutions. Organizations, leaders and members alike, are welcome to participate in both the Central Committee and the General Assembly, for the common good, the rights and welfare of fellow OFWs. No matter if we are all volunteers to the tasks, our greater vision is to seek a better place under the sun for OFWs and their families in a progressive Philippines.
The Riyadh OFW Congress
The Riyadh OFW Congress
By Manuel A. Lector, Secretary-General, Riyadh
(Background Information)
In late 1998, the Filipino community in Riyadh participated in the election of 21 representatives to an OFW Congress' Executive Council. The election and the efforts to make it a reality were unmistakably a show of unity among community organizations. There were "major" parties formed by leading organizations in the community. For four election days spread over two weeks, thousands lined up to exercise their right of suffrage, whose votes it took volunteers many nights, in fact, weeks to tabulate. Looking back, it now has taken historic meaning in light of efforts of OFWs all over the world to exercise their right to vote. Consul Jesus S. Domingo cited then the parallelism between the OFW Congress and the Malolos Congress at the turn of this century. He stated that the Malolos Congress established a government to unify the many islands of the country. The OFW Congress a hundred years later was born as a step in the struggle of overseas Filipinos to become part of the bigger Philippine society, to become a true and active partner in nation building, even while in the state of diaspora. Then Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Domingo Siazon, spoke of the OFW Congress as the main vehicle of community unity, and awaited the formation of other Congresses in the Middle East and possibly the whole world.
One significant achievement of the OFW Congress, with the help of the Philippine Embassy and Philippine Overseas Labor Office in Riyadh, was its holding of the OFW Summit 2000. On October 6, 2000, government officials from Manila led by Senator Rauld Roco came to speak before the Filipino community in Riyadh in the summit.
The summit's theme was "Filipino Migration: Issues and Concerns", held in the Intercontinental Hotel. Leaders of numerous civic organizations served as counterpart to the Manila delegation during the forum. The one-day summit, organized by OFWs themselves through the leadership of the Riyadh OFW Congress (OFWC), was the first-ever of such kind to be held in the Middle East. The Philippine Overseas Labor Office or POLO in the Philippine Embassy assisted the OFWC in making the Summit a reality. Overall summit chairman was Isagani Manalo, now the President of the Executive Council, and Jose Badong, the Council's Executive Vice-President, served as the summit's coordinator. The OWFC's Executive Council at the time was presided by Alexander Sanchez.
The Filipinos in Riyadh as well as those from the Eastern province presented to Manila officials various overseas employment issues such as the pre-daparture orientation seminar, issues affecting OFWs at worksites, post-employment or re-integration issues, proposed amendments to the Migrant Workers Act, Absentee Voting, the OFW Bank, and a Workers' database.
These issues were identified weeks before the summit through a series of dialogues among Filipinos in Riyadh. Prior and also during dialogue proper, data -gathering was facilitated through the use of questionnaire developed to obtain OFW concerns regarding overseas employment. In most of the issues brought forward during the dialogues and workshop, participants time and again sought a more active role by the government and its agencies in protecting the rights of OFWs. To revisit these: POEA must conduct a more effective pre-deployment orientation seminar (PDOS), POEA must rein in illegal recruitment, and abusive practices of licensed recruiters, and medical retainers; OWWA must provide more effective on-site assistance to OFWs; and many more.
The long list of recommendations to issues and concerns raised in the OFW Summit 2000 has remained a wish list. Since then, things seem to have gotten worse. We get to learn about the misuse of OWWA funds; government had signed less minimum pay for OFWs in Saudi Arabia, and lawmakers display indifferent attitude to our desire to exercise our right of suffrage. Too disappointing considering that we have often been referred to as the modern heroes of our time, who many believe are the singular force that keeps the nation's economy afloat.
The Significance of the OFW Congress-Riyadh
The Significance of the Riyadh OFW Congress
Information Background:
It is unfortunate that some members of the Filipino community among certain sectors tend to belittle the OFW Congress and the election in 1998 which determined the representatives to the body. Almost a year after, it is time to recall somehow what happened then.
The election and the efforts to make it a reality were unmistakably a show of unity among community organizations. Participation in the selection for the 21 representatives to the Executive Council of the OFW Congress was extensive. The major parties of Kampi, Gabay, Unity, and PUNO consisted of the many leading organizations in the community. At that time the community had acted as one to make its voice heard. Inspite of the circumstances we were and still are in, there were thousands who lined up to exercise their right of suffrage, and whose votes it took volunteers many nights, in fact, weeks to tabulate. Was it only a show? No, it was a historic act. It was meant to be the beginning of our unified effort to chart the course of our destiny as OFWs, as a people dispersed into other countries.
Consul Jesus S. Domingo's parallelism between the OFW Congress and the Malolos Congress at the turn of the last century states it all. The Malolos Congress established a government to unify the many islands of the country. A hundred years later, the OFW Congress is born as a step in the struggle of overseas Filipinos to become part of the bigger Philippine society and to become a true and active partner in nation building. The Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Domingo Siazon, spoke of the OFW Congress as the main vehicle of community unity, and said he awaited the formation of other Congresses in the Middle East and possibly, the whole world.
The structure of the OFW Congress definitely allows participation of organizations and individuals community-wide. In fact, the OFW Congress, through its General Assembly, is the forum for which organizations can discuss and resolve issues of common concern. So far, the General Assembly has convened twice through its Central Committee, and passed a number of resolutions. Organizations, leaders and members alike, are welcome to participate in both the Central Committee and the General Assembly, for the common good, the rights and welfare of fellow OFWs. No matter if we are all volunteers to the tasks, our greater vision is to seek a better place under the sun for OFWs and their families in a progressive Philippines.
A major hindrance is lack of resources. The OFW Congress does not even have a place to hold office and relies on the Philippine embassy to continue allowing it to hold its regular meetings in the chancery. But it needs much more than just a meeting place. The OFW Congress needs the Filipino community's support to survive and grow, like an infant who depends on its mother to sustain it.

SECAUCUS, N.J. (AP) — A new family attraction featuring more than 30 animatronic dinosaurs opens this holiday weekend on 20 acres of woods and grass in northern New Jersey.
Field Station: Dinosaurs in Secaucus includes a base camp and four learning stations along a three-quarter-mile trail.
Its moving dinosaurs include a 90-foot Argentinosaurus that park operators say will be visible from the Empire State Building in Manhattan, which is about 10 miles away.
The dinosaur attraction was designed in partnership with the New Jersey State Museum. It will be open each year from Memorial Day weekend to mid-November.

Updated my Debian, MySQL failed to restart
after many months of smooth operation, I went to update Debian to the final stable version of 6.
I ran aptitude, selected update, looked to see if there were any obvious package problems, none turned up.
during upgrade, mysql failed to restart. I have attempted to get mysql re-instealled but dpkg is failing with a dependency error
Here's the output of my recent apt-get attempt:
/install_ispconfig# apt-get install mysql-server mysql-client libmysqlclient-dev
is apt-get purge the recommended fix?
Problem solved.
It turns out that the updated version of mySQL added the flag "skip-bdb" to the mysql config file in /etc/mysql/my.cnf
check your syslog and look for the following error
[ERROR] /usr/sbin/mysqld: unknown option '--skip-bdb'
If you see this error, try the following fix. In your /etc/mysql/my.cnf, comment out the following line:
# Using BerkeleyDB is now discouraged as its support will cease in 5.1.12.
to read:
# Using BerkeleyDB is now discouraged as its support will cease in 5.1.12.
after making this change, I was able to do another apt-get install mysql-server and it all went smoothly.
There may be some reason to NOT comment that switch out, but I was trying to solve the immediate problem. If my "fix" creates some downstream problem I haven't considered, please let me know here.
It looks like it want to disable an feature which isnt implemented lol
BDB is only an engine like INNODB and MyISAM. If u dont need this, this isnt a problem.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — The Texas doctor convicted in the death of pop superstar Michael Jackson is suing the state for stripping his right to practice medicine, and his attorney said Thursday that the cardiologist has former patients eager for him to work again.
Conrad Murray, who was released from a California jail this week after serving less than two years for involuntary manslaughter in Jackson's death, accuses the Texas Medical Board of prematurely revoking his license. Murray claims in his lawsuit filed in Austin that his 2011 conviction isn't final in California until his appeals are exhausted.
Murray states in an affidavit that he is more than $400,000 in debt and can't afford to pay court costs.
"Anybody who wants to work in this country ought to be able to have the right to do so. Dr. Murray is like everyone else, in that he needs to be able to do his line of work," said Charles Peckham, Murray's attorney.
Texas Medical Board spokesman Jarrett Schneider said the agency cannot comment on pending litigation.
Murray was convicted of causing Jackson's death in June 2009 by providing him with the powerful anesthetic propofol as a sleep aid. Jackson was in the midst of preparations for a series of comeback concerts and Murray was serving as his physician.
Murray filed the lawsuit Friday, three days before he was freed after serving half of a maximum four-year sentence.
Murray previously maintained clinics in Houston and Las Vegas. His medical license is currently suspended in California.
In court papers filed in Texas, Murray expresses concern that the revocation of his Texas license could give California reason to take the same action.
"The Texas Medical Board, in taking my license puts me in imminent harm of irreparable injury," Murray said in court papers.
Brian Panish, an attorney for the Jackson family, has said Murray should not have "a chance to hurt anyone else" by practicing medicine.

They shall grow not old, As we that are left grow old, Age shall not weary them, Nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun, And in the morning We will remember them. Laurence Binyon (1869-1943), For the Fallen (1914),
Fern fronds are often not the first thing that springs to mind when you are considering the flowers for your wedding day.But ferns with their sculptural qualities can add a different touch to your floral arrangements and even your cake. On the tables consider a found item of a fallen branch with moss or lichen
Polka Dot Bride reader Heather made my day recently when she sent me photos of her polka dot house warming invitations. This design could be easily modified for a fabulous wedding invitation so I asked Heather if i could share them here. Heather is a graphic designer who designs invitations on the side! Thank you

A collection of relevant and timely media clips and resources.
Posted on October 9, 2012
The nation's top drug and gun enforcement agencies do not track how often they give their informants permission to break the law on the government's behalf.U.S. Justice Department rules put strict limits on when and how agents at the FBI, Drug Enforcement Administration, and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives can authorize their informants often drawn from the ranks of the criminals they are investigating to commit a crime. But both the ATF and DEA acknowledged, in response to open records requests and in written statements, that they do not track how often such permission is given.That routine, if controversial, tactic has come under renewed scrutiny in the wake of the bungled "Fast and Furious" gun trafficking investigation, which allowed 2,000 weapons to fall into the hands of Mexican drug cartels and other criminals. A report by the Justice Department's Inspector General found that ATF agents failed to get authorization from their superiors before they allowed gun dealers to sell weapons to suspected cartel operatives.

Daily entries from the 17th century London diary
Per Pauline's posting on 2 March 2005 under Davenant, Harris played Romeo in the first post-Restoration performance of Romeo and Juliet, directed by Davenant. http://www.pepysdiary.com/encyclopedia/992/
per L&M companion:-
Actor in the Duke's Company from 1661, and later in the United Company. A friend of Pepys. An accomplished and versatile performer, his last performance was in 1681.
According to the Oxford DNB, Harris (1633/4 - 1704) also was a prominent engraver of seals for the king and various nobles (including Arlington), offices and colonies, and in 1690 became chief engraver for the mint.
(subscription required)
The article notes that his acting career had not been mentioned in Harris's listing in the original DNB (1891) , but quotes documentation that clearly identifies Harris the engraver and Harris the actor as the same man.
Interesting, familiar dates. Almost SP's exact contemporary.

Grrrr. I had a whole intro written for this post and then I lost it — just like *that* — my stupid browser froze and now I'm mad at WordPress for not autosaving fast enough when really it's my own darn fault.
I don't know if it's only me, but I can't rewrite something I've already written — it never feels the same.
Anyway, I won't bore you with my whiny baby grumblings.
Yesterday was Halloween and I had a BLAST! I'm not sure when it happened but the 8-year-old is now a trick-or-treating master. He was jetting house to house so fast with his friends that I could barely keep up! Here's the blip on my Fitbit stats…
Side note: I had and reviewed the Fitbit One — click here to check it out — but have since lost it. This week I picked up a Flex and will be reviewing that one as well.
I walked more, wandering around my neighborhood than I did all day sitting at my desk. It just goes to show you don't have to go crazy to increase your activity. Just a little #WYCWYC can go a long way.
Meanwhile in the food department I have to admit my little experiment worked. I really didn't want any candy! It just didn't sound appetizing anymore. However, my jack-o-lantern pizza did…
… and I probably ate way more than I should have but whatever. It was yummy and fun! Plus, there's no use in crying over consumed pizza! Which brings me to this quote I saw on Tumblr.
Only a fool trips on what's behind him. — Unknown
I don't know who said it or if it's just an old saying but I think it's pretty powerful.
Think about it: If you enjoyed more than your fair share of Halloween candy (or whatever) don't let it trip you up today. Why let your past affect your future? Move on.
Long-winded intro or not, that's all I wanted to say today.
Have a great weekend!
If you enjoyed this article, please consider sharing it!

How cute are those pumpkin pizza faces!? So creative, Roni! I want to devour that pizza right now. Yum! Looking forward to hearing your review of your current fitbit. I'm thinking of splurging on myself and getting one.
Hi Roni! Your comment was so bang on with what I needed to hear today. I've recently lost 15 pounds on weight watchers and have been doing fairly well but then today, a combo of left over Halloween candy and a health scare with my 16 month old baby and bam total binge. It scares me that I can still lose control so easily even when I know eating healthy makes me feel good and in control. Anyways, I know the reasons behind it but im just disappointed it happened and was wondering if this still happens to you and how you either deal with it or stop it from happening? Would love your advice. Thanks so much!!!
the pizza on the grey tray looks scary tho..

About Ilfracombe
It was the exciting early days of rail travel that brought popularity and prosperity to Ilfracome. The opening up of rail lines up and down the country, enticed all levels of society to pack a suitcase, catch a train, to explore for themselves the delights of fresh towns, countryside and coast. This new breed of tourist, packed the trains and headed off to places they had never heard of, and without the new trains, could not have hoped to visit. Thus, Ilfracome, one of Devon's larger resorts, owes much to the Victorian Era. The gracious 19th-century properties in the town were all built during the 'boom' the town experienced at this time.

We all know that rare feeling of accomplishment; that feeling of completeness, triumph and anticipation for the time ahead. When you have time to sleep all day, work as much as you want and even gain a few pounds. I am talking of course about spring break, it is just too bad it only lasts a week.
While most people use spring break as a means to stay in town and work or relax, I use
spring break as a means to broaden my horizons. I try to experience new and exotic things such as sushi, travels, books or meditation. I have plans of going to Fort Lauderdale and staying with family, then departing on a ferry to the Bahamas.
Through the school work and studying, most of us forget to live life to the fullest. Your college years only come once in your life, therefore, you must use it efficiently. Once you have a professional career it will be much harder to obtain leisure time. Things to do during spring break include [but not limited to]: skydiving, new foods, IMAX movies, road trips, college visits, new restaurants, resorts, get in contact with old friends, internships and new foods. Just remember to "seize the day" as it is translated from the Latin term "Carpe Diem", because as Mae West once said "You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough."

The design kinda looks like the scuba diving flag.
Our third review of the Epix line of one-piece triathlon suits, this one is their upgraded Airflow suit which has a nicer chamois than their regular suit, and slightly nicer fabric. The upside is that it still has great lines, and a very comfortable cut. Epix is doing good things with their line, and we look forward to seeing what they come up with in the future.

Rivers Cuomo on Weezer's New Album and Having to Endlessly Talk About the Blue Album
"People who are caught up in comparing one album to another probably aren't in the core community we care about."

"People who are caught up in comparing one album to another probably aren't in the core community we care about."
Since 2001, nearly every Weezer album has been pitched as a return to form after a series of recent missteps.
Hear "Anyway."
Is it just us, or did the Weezer front man turn into Ewan McGregor at some point?
Basic, but pretty charming.
Front man Rivers Cuomo posted two rarities on his band's website.
Check out the band's slapstick-humor-filled "Memories" video.
Plus: Maybe Rivers Cuomo is still kinda immature.
And not that clothing brand.
Rivers Cuomo! In the open air!
Also, unearthing B-sides and rocking for 'Shrek.'
Plus: Have you ever been mocked by millions of people worldwide? Mel Gibson has!
The Weezer front man will continue to recover from his tour-bus accident at home.
Weezer frontman hospitalized after bus accident.
Who knew his sweater could hold so much?
"I join him on two lines of the rap. And unfortunately, I sang the wrong words ... I'm so pissed at myself."
Weezer's Rivers Cuomo has recruited Rainn Wilson for his new solo material.
Plus: Okay, who was the genius who told Fall Out Boy they should start watching Fellini?
Plus: Rivers Cuomo!
Plus: Denis Leary thinks the Emmy hosts should've been drunker.
Yep, it's that bad.
Dear Lord in Heaven, is this actually the cover of the new Weezer album?
Plus quotes from Rivers Cuomo, Jwl B., and Sidney Lumet!
Spike Lee will direct a re-mounting of World War II comedy-drama-mystery Stalag 17 on Broadway, produced by play's original producer, Michael Abbott. Lee has never directed for the stage and, according to the NYT, can't remember the last play he attended.
