Balangiga Massacre is an incident which occurred on September 28, 1901. The residents of Balangiga killed the American soldiers in an unforeseen attack using only their swords (tabak). The locals surprised the American troops at their breakfast table with an outraging attack using their bolos in retaliation for the destruction or confiscation of their food stocks, and their mission to free their fellowmen who had been held for forced labor and detained for days starving in congested conditions.
The Arrival
In August 1901, Balangiga was a small seaside village of 200 nipa houses in Samar, Visayas. On August 11, 1901, the Company C, 9th Infantry Regiment of the U.S. Army sailed to the town in response to the town mayor's petition to establish a garrison and to protect the town from Muslim and rebel raids. It consisted of seventy-four veterans, most of whom had seen service not only in China but also in Cuba and Northern Luzon. It was led by Captain Thomas Connell and his second in command, Lt. E. C. Bumpus.
Upon arrival, the American soldiers took over the affairs of the town and forcibly occupied some of the local huts. All male residents, eighteen years and above, were ordered to leave their families to clear the surrounding forests that were suspected to be the refuge of guerrillas. At night, these men were hauled into open wooden pens unsuitable for lodging. To aggravate matters, an American even raped a village lass, although no reference makes mention of this.
The Outbreak
The townspeople's decision to attack the U.S. Army was an attack that was planned all along due to their opposition to the puritanical ideals of the Americans as well as their plan to free the men who were subjected to forced labor and detained for days with little food and water.
On the night of September 27, 1901, the villagers made their move. A procession of heavily clothed women carrying baby coffins were heading to the church. A sergeant, suspicious of what's going on, stopped a woman and pried open a coffin only to see a dead child. The woman shouted "El calenturon! El colera!" He let the woman pass without any idea that all coffins were loaded with bolos which will be used for the attack.
The following day (September 29 at 6:20 a.m.), under the command of Brig. General Vicente Lukban, a surprise attack was launched while all 74 American soldiers were eating their breakfast. Pedro Sanchez, chief of police of the town lined up around 80 laborers to start the daily town cleaning. Sanchez walked behind a sentry, grabbed his rifle and knocked down his head. He fired the rifle as a signal and the whole townsfolk started the invasion. The bells of Balangiga were rung, signaling the attack of 400 men led by the highest town official. The soldiers were hacked to death resulting in 54 deaths and 18 wounded. So grisly were the deaths that it was prominently played up in the news.
Company C was nearly wiped out during the first few terrible minutes. But a small group of American soldiers, a number of them wounded, were able to secure their rifles and fight back, killing some 250 Filipinos. The Company C survivors escaped by sea and set off for Basey. The survivors did not reach Basey until early next morning. The townspeople returned to bury their dead, then abandoned the town.
The Revenge
On October 23, 1901, Brigadier General Jacob Smith ordered a battalion of 300 U.S. Marines, under the command of then Major Littleton W. Waller, to make Samar "a howling wilderness". The Americans retaliated by burning the whole town and by killing all civilians from 10 years old and above. The one year campaign to take back Samar turned the whole island into an area of inhospitable surroundings. The American forces maximized the destruction by taking the two Balangiga church bells and a rare 1557 cannon as war booty and shipping them to Wyoming.
Almost a hundred years after the Balangiga incident, the current Philippine government is making representations to retrieve these national treasures. In fact a music CD album was launched at the "Balangiga Rocks!" concert at the Folk Arts Theater in Manila on July 19, 2003.

Keeping Electricians Safe from Arc Flash Events with Multiple Fabric Options
TenCate Protective Fabrics understands the risks that exist out there. Arc Flashes are a threat to utilities, electricians, contractors, maintenance and other electric workers.
An arc flash occurs when a flashover of electric current leaves its intended path and travels through the air from one conductor to another or to the ground. Anyone in close proximity to an arc flash is at a high risk for serious injury or even death.
The primary dangers are many and each can have a devastating effect on anyone caught too close. Some arcs can create blast pressure upwards of 2,000 lbf or 8,900 N. and generate heat that burns as hot as 35,000°F or 19,400°C as well as causing sound blasts that can reach 140 dB.
Non FR clothing in an arc flash can melt directly to the skin and multiply the dangerous effects of any burn injuries. That's why it's imperative that electrical workers have the best FR fabric for their garments and TenCate provides it.
Standards exist in every market for how a fabric must perform. The necessary criteria that a fabric must meet in order to qualify for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) can define the industry. TenCate Protective Fabrics provides solutions for every level of protection.

Very Good: 3.7/5 More Details
The hotel is in a great location and nicely appointed. the service, however, was just a little off. we rang to ask for more towels on our second evening but they never came. the wifi does not renew unless you click on and scroll through the t&cs - but the error says you have entered an incorrect name or room number. the valet parking seemingly could never work out which room we were in - which you thought might have been thrown in for $32. no bill through the door on leaving day. could be a great stay but needs to up its game.
also, the "roof top bar" is one floor up round the side. slightly less glamorous than advertised

Cardinals acquire QB Palmer from Raiders
TEMPE, Ariz. — Carson Palmer has landed with the third team of his NFL career.
First Cincinnati, then Oakland and now Arizona, it's not exactly a 'Who's Who' of NFL powerhouses.
But Palmer and his new coach insist that he's coming to a Cardinals team built to win now, despite the fact it lost 11 of its last 12 a season ago.
The Arizona Cardinals acquired Palmer from the Oakland Raiders, then agreed to a two-year contract that could pay him up to $20 million with $10 million guaranteed.

Here it is. Plot for tonight's Wizards Return. You already know Selena Gomez clones her evil half. How many times have we seen this? The plot is always the same, except there's a new twist for Wizards Return.
To save Alex, all the other cast members cast a spell on their characters, bringing out their evil side. They all fight a valiant fight. Good wins, evil dies and none of the cast members can ever get a gig in Hollywood again. They all end up on a Seattle radio station. Ask Partridge Family kid Danny Bonaduce or Susan Dey or David Cassidy.

I would say that speeding is the cause of near zero traffic accidents. It merely magnifies other causes (and effects).
Money, my dear boy.
How much does each one of those things cost? Multiply by the number of DMVs that administer driving tests. Might even need 2 or 3 per DMV.
I'm sure there are other reason as well. Moral guardians not being satisfied with "a video game" demonstrating the proper skills of real-world driving (even though you and I know better) or concerned parents blaming their Little Snowflake's failures on the machine. But money is almost certainly the main limiting factor.
If all the world's economists were laid end to end, we wouldn't reach a conclusion. -- William Baumol
