TIA, Val
TIA, Val
i start training at 18 months. but nothing to structured. just allowing the child to be in the bathroom while i am there, and explain that i am peeing or pooping. it goes in the toilet. i put out the toddler toilet, and let the child explore and sit on it.
when my DS (dear son) turns 2, i will start the actually training - as in trying to put pee and poo in the toilet. but, even now, i talk to DS (dear son) about his diaper habits - if i see him pooping, i say, "hey, are you pooping? did you make a poo poo?" or "oh my. there is a lot of pee in your diaper. "
children will learn to potty on the toilet, just don't pressure the child.
....it's called menstuation.
I dont do that. My man is enough
no, no... that's masturbation
When they show interest in using the potty. I'm not training myself. I'm not spending months dealing with accidents. DD (dear daughter) was 2.5 when she started saying she had to go and by lunch time she ditched the diapers and had maybe 4 accidents in the next couple days and it was done. The kid I nannied I had to lug clothes for both of us and line her carseat and anyplace she sat and clean accidents for MONTHS becuase SHE wasn't ready when her MOM decided it was time. I let my kids lead with breastfeeding and potty training.
ds (dear son) we started around 12 months putting him on the potty once a day just to get used to it. by 20 months we started acctually training and it took one month. no one could believe he was completely potty trained by 21 months.
We really started to PTing DS (dear son) about 2 months before he turn 3 (which his going to be 3 in a few days). IMO (in my opinion) it doesnt matter if you know when they are pooping, trying to get them to actual poop in the toilet or the potty is completely different. DS (dear son) would hold it for days and had 2 poop accidents and he finally realized that he could poop in the toilet. We just started putting him on regular small potty twice a day when he turn 2.5yrs to get him used to it but then figured out that toilet training worked better for him than using the small potty.

D: 5/12/12 8lbs 5oz
R: 11/16/15 8lbs 12oz
Um, not yet (-;
Just kidding. Obviously there are various methods you can try and different folks have different ideas of how/when they'd like to do it.
I agree w/ the PP (previous poster) in that I wasn't going to start on the early side and essentially train MYSELF.
I was pregnant w/ LO (little one) when ODD needed to be trained. So I waited until after morning sickness was past, after Christmas holidays got over with, and until I had a 3 day weekend from work. We did bootcamp in that we went straight to undies, no pull ups. We still did do diaper for nap and night, because ODD was still in her crib. It was an intense few days, but by day 3 she was essentially daytime pee trained (at 32 months). Poop in the potty took a little longer; we did some sticker charts to incentivize that - but after a month or two, she had the pooping down, too.
We ended up not nap or night training for a number of months. With a new baby around it was just too much for me to do all at once. But, once ODD decided she was going to wear undies in bed, she did great. 1 accident total in about 4-5 months now!!
Jen, mama to girls::
G (2009) and L (2012)
for my DD, i started training when she turned 2 (she is going to be 4 in about 10 days) - no pulls ups - straight to underwear - i did a boo tcamp type of method, but instead of doing all day training, i would go from after breakfast to before lunch. she was day time trained in 1 week. during that week, if i had to go out, she would be in diapers, but as soon as we got home, the diaper came off, and underwear went on. once she was trained, we didn't have any accidents, except for one, and that was mommy's fault - not DD.
i plan on doing the same with DS. neither of children seem(ed) to care if they are (were) in dirty diapers. i have to take the lead.
you will know when your kid is ready or if you need to take the lead. pressuring a kid into toilet training will just make it harder for everyone.
....it's called menstuation.
I dont do that. My man is enough
no, no... that's masturbation
we sit him once a day when we hear the grunt he looks at books and poops nothing to stress over just don't want him frightened like ods had to do lots of miralax because he wouldn't poop
My friend puts her daughter on the potty when she poops, and has since 6 months. Like you said, you know your kiddos poop face.
Usually 18 months is the earliest some kids are ready. It really depends on when the child exhibits signs that they are ready. There are lots of good articles out there about what to look for in preparing to potty train.

CFX to ABAQUS
Hello Everyone
I kept searching for a way to transfer fluid analysis form ANSYS CFX to ABAQUS and unfortunatley I couldnt find a solution to this problem
to be more specific on what I mean:
If we want to make a fluid-mechanical analysis then we have to make fluid analysis first and then transfer the results of concern (pressure, velocity, .. etc) to ABAQUS at which ABAQUS will read those results and use them directly.
So I would really appreciate it if anyone can help
Thanks alot
CFX has tight links to ANSYS. To try to link it to another code seems pointless to me.
CFX used to have hooks into MPCCI which could be used to tie CFX to just about any code. I am not sure if they have been removed recently as MPCCI is not required to link CFX and ANSYS, and the link between CFX and ANSYS is far better than anything MPCCI could do anyway.
heyyy Glen
Thanks alot for your reply,well as far as I was told there is a way and I've been searchin for it for a while now so I really hope someone can help out soon.
I told you what it was - MPCCI (http://www.mpcci.de/mpcci/why-to-use-mpcci.html).
Abaqus 6.11 has interpolating mapping
Hi, I know this is probably a bit late, but the latest version of Abaqus has a capability to import 3rd party results and map them onto a mesh. It can take x y z location points and a scalar quantity and map to an Abaqus mesh, with geometric interpolation between the mesh points.
Sure, but can it do a coupled simulation between abaqus and the other code? That is another thing again and the only way I know of doing it which does not involve writing lots of code yourself is with MPCCI.
how can i transfer fluid analysis form ANSYS CFX to ABAQUS ?can u tell me the detail?
This is very easy in ANSYS Mechanical - CFX and ANSYS Mechanical have been designed to easily share information. But ABAQUS will be tricky. You will probably have to write out the temperature as a text file and import it into ABAQUS.

text: The 2007 Mexican general election was contested on February 26, 2007 to elect the Congress of Mexico. Led by Vicente Fox, the incumbent Conservative government was returned with a net loss of six seats to decrease their majority. With four seats for the Party of the Revolution and two seats for the Socialist Party, the leftist coalition led by Alejandro Encinas saw the election as a modest success, recouping after some of their losses from four years before. The loss of seats and the expensive, tough reelection campaigns of MCs in some traditionally Conservative regions only continued backbench grumbling about Fox's leadership moving forward, which would prove to be fatal to his political career as Fox was toppled in a leadership election eighteen months later.

Relief Efforts Continue
Anheuser-Busch and its distributors donate $7.4 million to WTC victims and their families.
The Anheuser-Busch Foundation, the charitable arm of Anheuser-Busch Cos. Inc., and the company's independent beer distributors are donating $7.4 million to various relief funds to help the people in need following the terrorist attacks. The donations bring the total amount contributed by the company's foundation and its distributors to $8.4 million.
"We keep the victims and survivors in our thoughts," said John E. Jacob, executive vice president and chief communications officer, Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc. "We can do no less than answer the call to help those who have been devastated by these horrible events."
The New York State World Trade Center Relief Fund will receive $5.2 million, including $4.2 million from the company's independent distributors and $1 million from the Anheuser-Busch Foundation. The foundation is also donating $1 million to the Survivors' Fund in Washington, $1 million to the United Way's September 11th Fund and $200,000 to the Salvation Army disaster relief. The Foundation previously donated $1 million to the American Red Cross in Greater New York, as announced in the days following the attack.
"The generosity of our Anheuser-Busch wholesaler family is overwhelming and we are proud to match their level of support for those in need," said August A. Busch IV, group vice president, marketing and wholesale operations, Anheuser-Busch, Inc.
The New York State World Trade Center Relief Fund, established by New York Governor George E. Pataki, aids the families of firefighters, police officers and emergency rescue workers who perished in the attack. The Survivors' Fund offers Washington-area victims and their families' assistance with health care, income maintenance and other long-term personal needs.
The September 11th Fund focuses on victims' short-term emergency assistance, including housing, food and grief counseling. These funds are designated for efforts in New York City and Washington, D.C. The donation to the Salvation Army will help the agency supply 100,000 daily meals for emergency workers at the World Trade Center and Pentagon.
In addition to these donations, Anheuser-Busch and its independent wholesalers paid tribute to America's police officers, firefighters and emergency medical workers by giving them free entry to SeaWorld, Busch Gardens and Sesame Place parks from October 5 through the end of the year. Their immediate family members will also receive free entry on a first visit and a 25 percent discount on subsequent visits this year.
Anheuser-Busch developed a television advertisement to honor those affected by the terrorist attacks and to support the efforts of the American Red Cross and all rescue workers. The ad ran on national network, cable and local broadcasts. In addition, to help express pride and resolve in the wake of this tragedy, the company replaced existing brand advertisements on outdoor billboards and many stadium signs across the country with the American flag.
Anheuser-Busch also donated nearly 10,000 cases of canned water and more than 40,000 cases of 180 energy drink to aid rescue workers in New York City on the day following the attack.

Populous 2 - Two Tribes
a game by Bullfrog Productions
Platform: Genesis
See also: Populous Games
Populous is a game developed in 1989 by Bullfrog. Populous is regarded by many as being the seminal god game. Populous was awarded with "Origins Award for Best Military or Strategy Computer Game of 1990" as well as "1990 Computer Game of the Year". It was the first game in the Populous series and preceded Populous 2 and Populous: The Beginning.
Populous 2 - Two Tribes also know as Populous 2 - Trials of the Olympian Gods.
Populous 2 continues the "god game" genre pioneered by Bullfrog's classic Populous.
In Populous 2 - Two Tribes, you're an unproven immortal who must fight your way through an entire pantheon of Greek gods, each with his or her own strategy and attacks, and ultimately enter into a showdown with Zeus himself.
The gameplay mechanics are similar to Populous, but Populous 2 - Two Tribes features a wider array of spells, digitized sound, and high-resolution graphics to give the spell effects extra punch.

Joe Allen is set to hold talks with Stoke manager Mark Hughes on Sunday as he closes in on a £13million move from Liverpool, according to a report.
The Telegraph claim that Allen will meet Hughes and Stoke officials, and could complete his move in the next 48 hours to join up with his new team-mates in Florida on Tuesday.
Former club Swansea are also interested in the 26-year-old, but Stoke are still believed to be the front-runners as Allen is keen to work under the former Wales international and manager.
A fee of £13million is understood to have been agreed between the two clubs, and the Reds have also inserted a clause into the deal which means that the Potters will have to pay a further instalment if they secure another top-10 finish in England's top-flight.
Reds manager Jurgen Klopp is said to be a fan of the Welshman, but he can't guarantee him regular game time and has therefore sanctioned the 26-year-old's exit.
The midfielder starred in 37 encounters for the Anfield-based club last season in all competitions, which included 11 appearances in the club's successful Europa League campaign.
The Wales international also played a leading role for his country in this summer's European Championships, as he helped his national team reach the semi-final stages of the tournament.
In other Liverpool transfer news, Bournemouth have had a bid for defender Brad Smith accepted by the Reds.

Dear Readers, I'm busy sewing bags and preparing for a series of upcoming scifi conventions, so I've asked guest plushy blogger Irving to fill you in on our recent adventures.
Love, love, love, Martha
The Walking Moose
Irving here, ready to tell you about life on the road as the Official MarfDaze Spokesmoose.
Martha thought she'd try to sell her fandom bags at fan convention. To get her feet wet, she applied for the December 2014 Walker Stalker Convention in NJ/NY, which celebrated The Walking Dead.
Why start small when you can do a convention featuring the most famous actors from the most popular TV show in America, right outside of the most populous city?
It was quite a change from the local craft fairs we're used to.
Before the show, Martha, David and I toured the venue and snapped some pictures to burn off some nervous energy.
But once the booth was set up and customers arrived, it was a whirlwind. We had very little time for moose glamour shots.
Suddenly, there seemed to be people everywhere. Martha and David had their hands full.
On the second day, reinforcements arrived in the form of Martha's sister-in-law and nephew. I got to hoof it and meet my favorite Walking Dead actor.
It was an amazing and amazingly fast-paced experience. Can't wait to go back this December.
Farpoint: To Boldly Go Where No Moose Has Gone Before
Next, Martha left David at home and we headed to Farpoint, a Star Trek-oriented convention near Baltimore.
It was much, much smaller than the Walker Stalker convention, so Martha and I actually got to talk to people and take tons of pictures.
Here's the view from the MarfDaze bridge:
Our vending neighbor, Cynthia from Wyrd and Wired, was friendly and full of good advice.
There were lots of authors at Farpoint, so Martha brought some books to sign in case some wandered by.
And some did!
Then, the most famous author at the convention — guest of honor Timothy Zahn — came to the table and Martha didn't have any of his books out! She didn't bother to pack any because she figured he'd never come by. Oh, the horror!
You know who else came by the table unexpectedly? Tim Russ, aka Tuvok from Voyager.
Martha tried to play it cool, but inside she was a mess. She was relatively non-embarassingly squee-ish asking him to take a picture with me in the autograph line, but then he showed up as a civilian going through her wares and she started to get giddy. He was very nice, though. And what a great voice that man has.
We also met YA mystery-book author TJ Perkins, who has an intriguing-sounding new children's book coming out in April.
Also at the convention was the dreamy Colin Ferguson. Martha couldn't get away from the table long enough get picture of us together, but we saw lots of him coming and going.
Farpoint was a Star Trek convention, so we saw lots and lots of Starfleet admirals and captains and ensigns and red shirts. But you know who else kept showing up? This guy:
First he was going solo and looking old school. Later he reappeared with Ace.
Then he came back alone in a dapper suit.
He had the Brigadier keeping an eye on his ride.
But Farpoint wasn't all Doctor Who and Star Trek.
Kaylee came by from Serenity.
And I met a new dance partner.
Next stop: David, Martha and I are headed to Wizard World Comic Con in Raleigh with James Marsters (Spike from Buffy!), Ian Somerhalder (Lost! Vampire Diaries!) and Sonequa Martin-Green (Sasha on the Walking Dead!). In short it will be a festival of awesome cheekbones.
Your Friend in Plush,

No More Drama: Mary J. Blige
Share |
It's rare to find a performer giving it up the way Mary J. Blige is giving it up here at the 44th Annual Grammy Awards in 2002. This is an example of a performer telling a story with strong intention and deep emotion. Her performance is hard to watch at a certain point – she looks as if she's about to jump off the stage and hurt somebody. But she brings it back down at the end – giving us a full and spiritual interpretation of "No More Drama," like only Mary can do it.

Liberty Party (United States, 1932)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|This article does not cite any sources. (January 2008) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Liberty Party
|Succeeded by
|Jobless Party
|International affiliation
The Liberty Party was a minor political party in the United States in the 1930s, based on the economic theories of W.H. "Coin" Harvey (1851–1936) (found mainly in his book, The Book). Harvey was initially its 1932 presidential candidate, and they held their convention at his resort, Monte Ne. However, the Liberty Party ended up merging with the Jobless Party, and Harvey ran for president as an independent. He came in fifth, receiving about 53,000 votes. This included over 30,000 votes in the state of Washington alone, where he polled 4.9% of the overall vote.

There was a lot more to complain about with that award being (1) decided out of public view, (2) not based on objective criteria, and (3) publicly trumpeted as an "award" and not a "reward." I see this as more of a bounty or a thank-you, not an award that promotes specific people as somehow having more value to the project than others. Any team in Fedora is free to find objective metrics and show achievement based on those metrics. And I'd be open to finding a way to thank people based on their objective achievements. > Why not combine whatever statistics we can pull from wherever, have > these people put their ranking on their personal Wiki page -if they even > want to-, and elect who's getting the Fedora Award? We could arrange for > the winners in YearN to not be eligible for YearN+1, too. Elections devalue the point of the reward -- that it's based on an objective measure and not biased by popularity, group awareness, or any number of other social considerations. Those latter considerations were some of the biggest complaints about having awards bestowed on specific people -- as opposed to a reward for measurable work completed. I think it's worthwhile to recognize people who are measurably contributing to the fulfillment of our mission, in this case by getting more software included in Fedora with a token reward. -- Paul W.

The Ri-gla-yehat was a Vulcan term that meant the "Unseen" and referred to those members of the race that left the homeworld settlement of Kren'than. This was typically seen as many Vulcans decided not to remain in the commune and instead leave their village. Some, however, were noted to return as the commune never turned anyone away. When requesting entry to rejoin the community, the village elders proclaimed them "ri-gla-yehat" where they served as a probationary period where they were never approached or addressed by any other members of the settlement; as if they did not even exist. This probation lasted to the Terran equivalent of twelve years.
It was believed that the reason for the long probationary period was for the returned Vulcan to demonstrate that they had a renewed commitment to the communes way of life. Thus, it represented that the individual had cleansed both their body and their mind of any remnants of the society that they initially chose to embrace at the expense of the commune.

My user is using MS Word 2007, attempting to save in Word 97-2003 format. The document is macro enabled. When the user makes a change to the document, the error message returned is "The save failed due to out of memory or disk space"
The save works just fine if we save it in Word 2007 format. This is not an option as it is a document that is traded back and forth with companies in Mexico that are only willing to run Word 2003.
So far I have deleted Normal.dot, I have confirmed that there is no Veritas driver on the machine, I have cleared temp files and even done a rain dance for good measure. The most bizarre part of this issue is that I have experienced it and fixed it using the listed methods for other users.
I have noticed that the issue seems to be contained to only XP. While upgrading the operating system is an option, it does not fit with our timeframe.

I would try reinstalling Office all together.
Feb 16, 2010 at 1:36 UTC
Have you suggested they try installing the compantibility pack?
I'd also give this a read

@slatronica: While I didn't reinstall office for this user, I had for a previous user experiencing this problem. Nothing was gained in that instance.
@Yoshimoto: yeah, I've suggested the compatibility pack several times and gotten shot down every single time. I'll try out that hotfix the next time this issue comes up.
Latest update: I ran SFC without effect. I then had the user try again (while I did a rain dance in the background) and it started working... I'm assuming the user is doing something wrong that I'm just not catching, but until then, I'll keep doing rain dances.
I will update this ticket with any further victories against this issue.

have you applied all the latest service packs and/or hotfixes for Office 2007?
Check this as well. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/954576
also check for malware or virus infections.

How in the heck did you get shot down, did you mention it's F R E E?
One issue we had with the macro enabled docs is our firewall and content filter were blocking them so they came though on emails corrupted, though I don;t remember if it was the same error, just a suggestion.
You might want to send yourself a working doc from an external domain to your server and see how it works out.

The message (a catch-all for anything that the system doesn't understand)
and can indicates that the document is starting to corrupt. Try opening the
document using the Detect and Repair option to find the corruption
for you.
With a document gets large in size, it is important to try and get the size down. Insert graphics that are edited in an editor outside Word where the size and resolution should be reduced and the graphic saved in jpeg before inserting into Word. Use Insert, Picture from File: don't copy and paste the graphics. If graphics are only going to be viewed on screen, then 72dpi or 96dpi is more than sufficient. Document printing should be ok with 300dpi.
all else fails, try creating a new account - go to "Start>Control Panel>User Accounts>Create A New Account". Create a new user and login as that user. Then go to your old user folder and copy all of your documents, etc into the new user folder. Then delete the old user account.

Latest update; the user has been upgraded to Win7, so we will see how that turns out. I will do my best to update this thread with any new information.
@Air Jimi yes, Office is up to date. The Detect and Repair option is intriguing, and I will try that the next time the error comes up. Some sort of corruption would make sense of why the issue is so inconsistent.
@Yoshimoto: the belief is that it will be far more work for the others to become up to date than for me to spend days working on a solution. The fact that we work with a language barrier probably doesn't help.

Graft and Corruption
Graft and Corruption in the GOVERNMENT
In 1989, public perception was that "corrupt government officials are greater threat to the country" than the communist guerrillas.
In 1992, President V. Ramos considered graft and corruption as the third major hindrance towards attaining his development strategy for the country.
Thank You!!
it is a form of corruption but the difference is that graft is an individual act. It refers to the embezzlement or illegal appropriation of public funds and property by single official. It does not involve transactions among the officials or between officials with clients. Nevertheless, we lump them together as graft and corruption.
Effect of Graft and Corruption
employed to Control Graft and Corruption
SPECIFIC TYPES of CORRUPTION in the PHILIPPINES
There are 8 Types of Corruptions in the PHILIPPINES:
It is behavior such as bribery, nepotism and misappropriation of public resources for
which is
in accord to with established
The act of an
or fiduciary person who
uses his station or character to procure some benefit for himself or for another person, contrary to duty and the rights of others.
NEPOTISM and FAVORITISM
In 1988, graft and corruption in the Philippines was considered as the "biggest problem of all" by Jaime Cardinal Sin, the Archbishop of Manila.
What is GRAFT??
taking money wrongfully in connection with government or dishonest use of public resources (funds and property)
Indeed, today, graft & corruption in the Philippines……
1. Tax evasion
2. Ghost projects & payrolls
3. Evasion of public bidding in awarding of contracts
4. Passing of contracts
5. Nepotism & favouritism
6. Extortion
7. Protection Money
8. Bribery
This is very rampant, particularly in the private sector due to the refusal of those engaged in private businesses to honestly declare their annual income and to pay the corresponding taxes to the government.
This is done by high officials of the government whereby non-existing projects are financed by the government while non-existing personnel or pensioners are being paid salaries & allowances. This practice is rampant in government agencies involved in formulation and implementation of programs & projects particularly in infrastructure and in the granting of salaries, allowances and pension benefits.
Government offices, particularly Bids & Awards Committees ( BAC) forego the awarding of contracts through public bidding or award these contracts to favored business enterprises or contractors. Sometimes, members of bids and awards committees are very subjective of awarding the contract to those who can provide them with personal benefits.
In the construction of infrastructure projects, contractors have the practice of passing the work from one contractor to another and in the process certain percentage of the project value is retained by each contractor and sub-contractors resulting to the use of substandard materials or even unfinished projects.
Government officials particularly those occupying high positions tend to cause the appointment or employment of relatives and close friends to government positions even if they are not qualified or eligible to discharge the functions of that office. This is one of the root causes of inefficiency and the overflowing of government employees in the bureaucracy.
This is done by government officials against their clients by demanding money, valuable items, or services from ordinary citizens who transact business with them or their office. This is rampant in agencies issuing clearances, and other documents, those involved in the recruitment of personnel, or those performing services that directly favor ordinary citizens.
This is form of bribery which is done by citizens performing illegal activities and operations. They deliver huge amount of money to government officials particularly those in-charge of enforcing the law in exchange for unhampered illegal operation. The law enforcement officer who receives the money will be duty – bound to protect the citizen concerned together with his illegal activities from other law enforcement authorities. This is practiced mostly by gambling lords and those engaged in business without the necessary permits.
"TONG" or PROTECTION MONEY
"LAGAY" System or BRIBERY
The "lagay" system or the act of citizens to bribe government officials occupying sensitive positions in government is perpetuated due to bureaucratic red tape.
The most frequently employed method is offering a considerable amount of money to a government official who can facilitate the issuance of the desired documents in agencies issuing licenses, permits, clearances, and those agencies deputized to make decisions on particular issues.

Costs of Corruption
What is CORRUPTION?
Article 10. Sec.1. "Accountability of Public Officers", states that "public office is a public trust." Public Officers and employees must at all times be accountable to the people, serve them with utmost responsibility, integrity, loyalty, and efficiency, act with patriotism and justice, and lead modest lives.
This law enumerates all corrupt practice of any public officer, declares them unlawful and provides the corresponding penalties of imprisonment (between 6-15 years) perpetual disqualification from public office, and confiscation of forfeiture of unexplained wealth in favor of the government
This order reiterates the provisions embodies in Section 1, Article XI of the 1987 Constitution.
It also gives the President the power to institute proceedings to recover properties unlawfully acquired by public officials and employees.
This act promotes a high standard of ethics and requires all government personnel to make an accurate statement of assets and liabilities, disclosure of net worth and financial connections. It also requires new public officials to divest ownership in any private enterprise within 30 days from assumptions of office to avoid conflict of interest.
Republic Act No. 6770 also known As the
Ombudsman Act of 1989
This provides the functional
and structural organization of the Office of the Ombudsman.
Republic Act No. 7055 also known as An Act Strengthening Civilian Supremacy over the Military
This law creates two avenues for trying erring members of the Armed Forces of the Philippines & other members subject to military laws. Crimes penalized by the Revised Penal Code and other special penal laws and local government ordinances shall be tried in civil courts. Military courts shall take cognizance of service-oriented crimes only.
Other Laws on Anti-Corruption:
Republic Act No. 7080 also known as the Act Defining and Penalizing the Crime of Plunder
Republic Act No. 8249 also known as the Act Further Defining the Jurisdiction of the Sandiganbayan
Presidential Decree No. 46 (GIFTS)
Presidential Decree No. 677 (SALN)
Presidential Decree No. 749 (Witness)
The 1987 Constitution has created
constitutional bodies to deal on graft & corruption and to effectively implement provisions of public accountability. These bodies are granted fiscal authority to ensure their independence and their actions are appealable only to the Supreme Court. These constitutional bodies are:
The Office of the Ombudsman investigates and act on complaints filed against public officials and employees, and serve as the "people's watchdog" of the government.
The CSC is the central personnel agency of the government which is mandated to establish a career service and promote moral, efficiency, integrity, responsiveness, progressiveness, and courtesy in the civil service. It shall also strengthen the merit and rewards systems, human resource development, and public accountability. It has jurisdiction over administrative cases including graft & corruption brought before it on appeal.
The COA is the watchdog of the financial operations of the government. It is empowered to examine, audit, and settle all accounts pertaining to the revenue and receipts of, and expenditures or uses of funds and property under the custody of the government agencies and instrumentalities. It shall promulgate accounting and auditing rules and regulations for the prevention and disallowance of irregular, unnecessary, excessive, extravagant, or unconscionable expenditures, or use of government funds and properties.
The Sandiganbayan is the Anti-graft court of the Philippines. It has jurisdiction over civil and criminal cases involving graft & corruption and such other offenses committed by public officers and employees. It is in charge of maintaining morality, integrity, and efficiency in the public service.
The DOJ conducts preliminary investigations on complaints of a criminal nature against public officials that are filed with the Department, subject to the approval of the OMB if the offense investigated was committed by the public official in relation to his office. The DOJ also prosecutes in these cases if the public officials involved belong the ranks lower than salary grade 27.
These law enforcement agencies conduct fact-finding investigations on graft cases. They conduct entrapment operations which, if successful, result in the arrest and filing of criminal complaint against the perpetrators in the courts. It may issue subpoena and serve warrants of arrest issued by the courts. The NBI agents or policeman who conducted the investigation also acts as witness for the prosecution during journal preliminary investigation and the prosecution of the case by the ombudsman.
This was created primarily to go after
ill-gotten wealth. It is also tasked to adopt safeguards to ensure that corruption shall not be repeated and institute measures to prevent the occurrence of corruption.
IMPEDIMENTS to the Anti-Corruption Efforts
1. Specific culture of Filipinos is enhancing the proliferation of graft and corruption. The strong family ties justify giving benefits to unqualified recipients which are very evident in employment and awarding of contracts.
2. The Filipino culture of gift giving justifies bribery and extortion thereby making it hard for law enforcement and anti-corruption agencies to arrest the problem.
3. Agencies deputized to fight graft & corruption are not well funded by the government. There is also lack of recognition, merits, awards, and rewards given by the government for the efforts of anti-corruption bodies. Personnel of these agencies mandated to go against corrupt public officials are vulnerable to bribery because of lack of financial support, integrity, and professionalism.
4. Transparency is not religiously observed particularly in government transactions.
The public is denied access to activities of government officials.
5. Effective monitoring of government programs and projects as well as expenditures are not being seriously undertaken by those tasked to monitor them.
What is
is the term applied to the behavior of individuals and group acting in favor of personal and private interests contrary to the larger national interests.
1. Graft and Corruption decreases respect for allegiance to the government. It counteracts growth and nationalism. It distracts unity in government and endangers political stability.
3. Corruption accentuates already existing inequalities by providing more power and opportunities to those who are already powerful.
4. Corruption causes wasteful dissipation of limited resources by increasing the cost of development because funds are channeled outside the government to private pockets.
2. Corruption dislocates national economic planning. It introduces an element or irrationality in plan fulfillment by influencing negatively the actual course of a national development.
5. The cost of corruption is eventually passed on to the public and becomes a form of taxation. Whatever amount is illegally channeled to private use,the people shoulder the cost because public funds are the people's money.
General Causes of Corruption
1. Discrepancy between legal norms and cultural (folk) norms;
2. The Filipino's perception of government as a source of abuse and oppression;
3. That government is alien and remote from him;
4. The strength and power of the family and kinship as opposed to the government interests;
5. The demoralization of attitudes and values during the Japanese occupation, and
6. The existing value orientation against western ideas of ethical standards.

Most institutions ask two things when choosing a learning platform: can they afford it and do other schools use it?
But Filip Levälahti, E-learning coordinator at Arcada University of Applied Sciences, says Arcada had another consideration: will our teachers use it? To find the answer, extensive user tests of leading platforms were performed- and itslearning came out the clear winner.
"It had to be very clear and easy to use. It had to be intuitive," Filip explains. "We realised that if the platform was hard for teachers to use, then they wouldn't do anything with it, and therefore the students wouldn't do anything with it. User-friendliness was our number one priority."
A group of teachers and students from Arcada, which is located in Helsinki, Finland, tested four major learning platforms, including itslearning. Filip gave them simple tasks such as uploading files and creating a course. Eye-tracking technology was used to analyse how much they searched around the screen. The less eye movement, the more user-friendly the platform was. "We could see that itslearning was much easier to use than the other platforms. With itslearning it took much less time to do the tasks than with the other learning platforms. That showed how intuitive it was," Filip says.
The user adoption figures since Arcada implemented itslearning have been astonishing. In one year, 800 courses were created in itslearning. Today, around 1,000 Arcada users log on every day, representing a third of the student population, and all three university departments actively use the platform. In 2012, Arcada achieved almost 100 per cent user adoption, meaning almost all users were active on the platform.
"Not many teachers wanted to use our old platform. Not many students either. But they want to use itslearning. It's easier for them and far less complicated than our old platform. And we didn't need to give too much support to teachers when they were creating courses. Now we see that almost all teachers are using itslearning in some way," Filip says.
The big test of itslearning came when staff at Arcada's health and welfare department started using the platform in 2011, because they were the department that used the previous platform least. It was too cumbersome, they complained. But they quickly became the department using itslearning the most. "It was harder to get these teachers involved, but today it is quite easy because they are also helping each other," Filip says.
According to Filip, students also find the platform much easier to use than the university's previous platform. In his first-year ICT course, Filip added resources for his students to use on itslearning, such as video tutorials and tests. "It was easier for them to find the materials they needed on itslearning. I think the students were happier with it. They could check their skills with tests to gauge how much they knew, and how much they needed to know. They wanted to use it," Filip says.
Sports psychology instructor Riitta Vienola believes students have the right to choose the way they learn. In her classroom, after assigning her students a task, they form into groups and set learning goals. They create their own learning materials and lecture to each other, with Riitta constantly checking their progress and providing guidance. "itslearning gives me many ways to control and check how the learning is going. I don't need to remember things, it's all on itslearning. It makes it easy," she says.
In addition to putting links and voice recordings on itslearning, Riitta uses the platform for giving feedback. Her students often upload ongoing projects onto itslearning, and she uploads her feedback back onto the platform. "In this way, they get constant feedback on what they are learning in relation to the learning goal. The best thing about itslearning is there is one place to put everything. It helps me to give my students the freedom to learn when it's convenient for them," she says.
Filip says this kind of teacher engagement with the platform shows that the extensive testing project in the decision-making phase was worth the investment. "If we hadn't chosen itslearning, I'm sure I would be working a lot more in order to support and train teachers," Filip says. "With itslearning, I can focus more on creating good courses and the pedagogy, instead of the technical aspects. That's what's important – I want to think about how I use the platform to teach, not how I upload a file."
