Despite the fact that many have tried to spin the maritime incident involving Chinese fishing vessel Yuemaobinyu 42212 ramming Filipino fishing boat Gem-Ver 1 near Recto Bank in the West Philippine Sea – the issue still won't fade into the night. And rightfully so. Even as I commended the president for trying to take a diplomatic tack when it came to addressing the maritime incident with the Chinese, I still think he needs to consider both the Filipinos involved in the sinking and the Philippines in general.
First of all – I believe he waited too long before finally making a statement. I understand wanting to get all the facts right before saying anything (something that President Duterte doesn't normally do actually), but a week to respond to an international incident is far too long. How will Filipinos believe that the president truly has our backs when he makes it seem that a calculated response is more important to him than the welfare of his own people? I'm sure the many that expected the president to jump right into the arena and defend us were severely disappointed.
While it is true, as I mentioned in my previous column, that we have a business relationship with China and while it is also true that it is probably not in our best interest to get on their bad side, the government can't always put China ahead of our own people simply because we fear angering them or losing their support. At some point you need to protect the country and our rights too. If we don't it will just be more of the same – China believing they can get away with anything because all we do is let them.
There are a lot of questions that need to be asked and people that need to be held accountable for the maritime incident. This was no "accident" as the President said following the Chinese line that is wasn't as big a deal as people were making it out to be. And while incidents like this may happen more often than we know when it comes to fishing boats in the open sea, it doesn't mean we should care less or we should just shrug our shoulders and think "Oh well, these things happen." Especially in the wake of a pattern of Chinese militia harassing the fishing boats of their neighbors.
Probes into the sinking should not just include who was at fault or what level of responsibility they need to take for their actions, but should also include what the Chinese vessel was doing in the Philippines' Exclusive Economic Zone in the first place. As I mentioned previously, had the tables been turned and we rammed a Chinese vessel and abandoned their crew for dead in their own territory, I'm 100 percent sure the story would be extremely different. Heck if we rammed them in our own territory it would be different.
I still feel the same as I did last week when I said the president's cautious approach, although somewhat disappointing for many, makes sense. However, as the situation has developed and grown it has become increasingly clear that he is towing the Chinese line when it comes to how he is handling the situation.
Over the weekend it was said that the Philippines agreed to a joint investigation of the incident. I don't think this is a good idea . The Chinese are well within their rights to hold their investigation. In fact they should. Their findings can be used to help defend their people should the time come that they be held accountable for their actions. However, they should not expect – much more demand – that the Philippines does a joint investigation with them. After all, this happened in our jurisdiction and we should not allow outside influence on the investigation we need to conduct for ourselves.
What's more – perhaps just having the Philippines and China conduct the investigation is not enough. Vice President Leni Robredo spoke strongly about asking a third non-biased party to join in the investigation as well to help get to the truth. I think this is a good idea and can provide a non-biased report of the incident based on all the evidence and individual accounts. Honestly, if China truly believes they did nothing wrong then they have nothing to hide.
At the end of the day, while we should keep things respectful and peaceful between the Philippines and China, we can't allow them to impinge on our sovereignty within our own jurisdiction. Should this incident just get swept under the rug – like many others – then we are slowly giving them more and more power of us and this should not be the case. We should take a page from Hong Kong's book. When they felt China stepped over the line – they weren't afraid to let them know.

The United States needs to find a better way to handle its problem of undocumented asylum seekers – most especially the children. Those detention facilities have once again come under fire not being "safe or sanitary" for the kids there – who have already been separated from their parents. Reports have shown that they are made to sleep in extremely tight quarters on a cold cement floor with aluminum foil "blankets" and no basic toiletries like toothbrushes or soap.
While they are not the first to utilize detainment and these centers, the Trump administration was in court for the bad conditions these detainment centers were in and took a severe beating from US circuit court judges who could not believe that they were being told that the children do not need soap or beds. Senior US circuit judge A Wallace Tashima said "If you don't have a toothbrush, if you don't have soap, if you don't have a blanket – it's not safe and sanitary. Wouldn't everybody agree to that?"
Apparently not – as the representative of the administration Sarah Fabian, a lawyer for the Justice Department, tried to argue the semantics of what "safe and sanitary" actually meant claiming that the stipulations for such were never fully enumerated. Her argument was so ludicrous that the judges could barely believe what they were hearing and honestly neither could I. I understand that the US feels they need to manage their burgeoning illegal immigrant problem – but this throwback to concentration camps is hardly the way to do it.

As many of you know, I recently spent 2 weeks in Peru and Ecuador seeing the sites and working on content for our new travel site, MunchkinTravel.com. We took our 4 year old with us and he had the time of his life. Playing with the local kids and exploring a new world. Hopefully this will be the first of a series of blog entries detailing some of the technology I saw on the trip.
One of the most interesting things we saw was the use of solar panel technology throughout both countries. One such example was on the Eros floating Islands on Lake Titicaca near Puno, Peru. For those of you not familiar with the Eros Islands, it's an amazing collection of 70+ floating islands built entirely out of tora reeds. The early inhabitants used these naturally growing reeds to build floating platforms to escape persecution from the Incas and early Spanish colonizers.
We stopped at the Island of Apu Inti which some of you might recognize from Elder Rasbands recent talk. This little island, that is home to a handful of families, sits in about 55 feet of water and is 7-8 feet thick. Most life on these islands centers around tourism, with the natives showing the traditional tasks of life, the uses of the tora reed, how the islands are built, and dressing their guests up in native costumes.
Not being one who likes to dress up and dance, I quickly grabbed the nearest native and with my broken Spanish asked to see his solar setup. The 53 watt solar panel, made by Condumex, feed through a charging unit in to a water proof 12 volt car battery. He also had a circuit breaker / distribution unit that powered a compact fluorescent light bulb, his TV & Stereo (so much for be true "natives"), and his neighbors house.
I asked how long he had been running this setup. He told me that the President of Peru had given the solar panels to the people of the Eros islands 6 years ago. Apparently they had been using candles and had trouble with their homes and islands burning down. Go figure. No doubt the gift was an attempt to help keep the tourist trade going.
The Eros Islands were not the only places we saw solar panels. We found them all over Peru and Ecuador and on the islands of Amantani and Taquille. Look for pictures of these wonderful islands on our MunchkinTravel.com website in the coming weeks.
I think the wide spread adoption of solar is directly related to the lack of quality power infrastructure. In many ways, countries with emerging markets are perfectly positioned to leap frog the US in the coming green technology revolution because they don't have existing infrastructure that is still trying to pay for itself. It's true that technology is often driven by the underlying business model. It's also true that disruptive next generation technology is also held back by existing entrenched infrastructure and it's associated economic model.

Mangaluru, Jan 14, 2017: Speaking after inaugurating the Coastal Security Police Station at Gangolli on Jan 13, Friday, he explained that the need for setting up a coastal security police station, the home minister, said the state has a 350km-long coastal line. Apart from fishing, lot of other activities, mainly illegal ones, happen here which need to be stopped. "After the Mumbai terror attack, we have to be more cautious in guarding the coastline to prevent such terror attacks in future. That is the reason a full-fledged station is set up."
The home minister went on to say that the monthly allowance, though, announced in November 2016, was not released due to some reasons. However, all police personnel will get it including arrears along with February salary. Home minister G Parameshwara said police personnel will get monthly allowance of Rs 2,000 along with their February salary. The state government had announced a monthly allowance of Rs 2,000 for police personnel upto the rank of sub-inspector with effect from September 1, 2016.
"Police are working under difficult circumstances. Therefore, the state government is providing them maximum facilities including uniform, conveyance, risk allowance and so on," he added.
He said the cops attached to this station will have a different uniform. "We are also seeking a helicopter from the Centre for patrolling," the home minister added.
He said promotions in the ranks of police department will be made time-bound. "Around 11,000 policemen will be promoted within a year. The service period for a constable to get promotion as head constable will be reduced to 10 years from the existing 22 years. If there no posts available, then he or she will be given salary and perks of a head constable," he added.
He said in the last three years, the government has recruited 20,000 constables, of which 16,000 have already joined the force. To provide housing facility for police personnel, the department has set aside Rs 1,818 crore and 11,000 houses have already been built, he added.
The home minister said a women's police station will be set up at Kundapur soon. "The government is also mulling recruiting more women in police force. At present, the force has just 5% women police and it will be increased to 20%," he added.

Thanks for popping in for my November updates post. It felt like I had been a bit sporadic this month, but doing this post proved I did get a fair bit accomplished.
With just weeks until 2020, I have decided to write what I want when I want. This means I have done a lot of WIP hopping, but it's the only way to make me sit down and write of late.
I have finished my 4th and final blog series of the year. I hope you enjoyed my Picture This series as much as I enjoyed writing it.
I am going to take the next month to work out my routine for Writerly Bookish Stuff in 2020. I need to be consistent, but understand my own time constraints. I will let you know the plan after Christmas.
I have read a LOT of Christmas novellas this month. I did 7 reviews in total in 3 blog posts.
I am currently reading an ARC of Shadow of Ar'Sanciond by Sarina Langer.
What's Next?
Next is Christmas. That is my sole focus, but I will continue posting book reviews and the odd Christmassy post.
Keep your eyes peeled for my plans for 2020.

1. They're dropping like flies in Hollywood at the moment. I'd like the same thing to happen across the board. Sexual harassment is not okay and perpetrators should face the consequences of their actions.
2. Victim blaming needs to stop too. No-one asks for or deserves sexual harassment. Regardless of what they're wearing, the location they are in, etc. No, just no. Blame the perpetrator not the victim.
3. A few days ago I put all my make-up and lip balms into a big tub. I'd had things stashed all over. Now they're all in one tub I can see exactly what I've got and work on using things up. That's my focus going forward. Getting rid of products I don't love and using the ones I do love.
4. Who shopped the Black Friday sales? I didn't.
5. Becca's Under Eye Brightening Corrector may be my new holy grail concealer. It's early days but so far I'd say it's equally as good as my all time favourite Bobbi Brown Corrector.

Fallout 4: Being Sued Due to 'Misuse' of the Song The Wanderer
The commercials for Fallout 4 have been out for what feels like forever, especially given the fact that the game was released in 2015. This places the commercials for the hit dystopian game at around 2 years ago, and they were hit for Fallout fans when they arrived. That said, the singer Dion DiMucci for the classic pop tune "The Wanderer" has decided he doesn't quite like how Bethesda has used his song – and is suing for a million dollars in damages.
New district court documents in California have been released showing that DiMucci calls out ZeniMax Media, the parent company of Fallout makers Bethesda. In it, he seems to believe that the company has used the song in trailers that are "repugnant and morally indefensible."
Admittedly, a contract was agreed upon by both parties that stipulated that DiMucci had the right to refuse his song being used if he didn't like the content it was being depicted in. The artist was also given the right to bargain with the company about any sort of licensing fee. Due to ZeniMax not participating in any part of these terms, DiMucci has decided to file this suit.
He claims that it is the content of the trailers that has him offended, stating that his song was used to highlight Fallout 4's violent landscape. Describing the ads as such:
"Defendant's Commercials were objectionable because they featured repeated homicides in a dark, dystopian landscape, where violence is glorified as sport. The killings and physical violence were not to protect innocent life, but instead were repugnant and morally indefensible images designed to appeal to young consumers."
Dion described his own musical work as follows, detailing why it wasn't a correct fit:
"In The Wanderer, Dion gives life to the story of a sad young man who wanders from town to town, not having found himself or the capacity for an enduring relationship. The song describes isolation during coming of age. Without Plaintiff's consent, Defendants dubbed The Wanderer into commercials in which the protagonist, a wanderer, roams from one location to the next, armed and hunting for victims to slaughter. Defendant's Commercials have no redeeming value, they simply entice young people to buy a videogame [sic] by glorifying homicide, making the infliction of harm appear appealing, if not also satisfying."
The document also details how, if given the chance to look at the trailer, he would have requested them to focus on the struggle for survival as opposed to a world of violence. Since he wasn't given a chance to reject the ads, he is now entitled to both financial damages and the commercial should be taken offline.

It's fair enough to say "Don't judge a book by its cover," but there are a lot of sound reasons people judge restaurants by the look of their exterior. These reasons tend to apply more to contemporary restaurants opened in the last ten years or so. For establishments residing in the same place for decade after decade, worn exteriors often mislead as shabby, rundown, or divey. Even if one of these traits does apply, it doesn't necessarily indicate a poor dining experience. You just have to have the right expectations.
The Moonlite Cafe in Brookline is a good example of having an expectation based on an exterior appearance completely surpassed by the performance of the restaurant within. Assuming you didn't carefully read the green awning over the main entrance, it's more than likely you'd assume this was just your standard old dive bar in a neighborhood full of them. And you wouldn't be totally wrong – the lounge leading into the back dining room is fairly divey. But the dining room is something else altogether. Continue reading

The Anambra State government has banned the Tricycle Owners Association of Nigeria (TOAN) from operating in the state.
Transport Commissioner, Uchenna Okafor, said in Awka, the state capital, that the ban became necessary following ceaseless negative reports about the activities of the association.
He warned that any person or group operating on the guise of tricycle operators would be dealt with.
He said: "TOAN is strange to Anambra State government; the group operates in disguise and in very negative circumstances.
"No union can exist without the consent of the government."
The commissioner urged security agencies in the state to ensure that TOAN and any other such unknown groups operating under the name cease to exist in the state.

The Bell Witch
April 09, 2007, 09:59:09 pm »
The ninteenth century home of the Bell family of Adams, TN. Illustration first published in 1894.
The Bell Witch is a ghost story from American southern folklore. The legend of the Bell Witch, also called the Bell Witch Haunting, revolved around a series of strange events experienced by the Bell family of Adams, Tennessee between 1817 and 1821.
These events are said to have been witnessed and documented by hundreds of people, among them future President of the United States Andrew Jackson, and consequently the episode represents one of the most famous and documented instances of paranormal events in history.
The Bell Witch was believed to be Kate Batts, an eccentric neighbor of Bell's, who had sued him for cheating her in a land deal. The stories of land sale conflict involving John Bell do have documentation, although in neither case is there any connection to Kate Batts.[citation needed]
Other paranormal theories are that the "witch" was actually a poltergeist, or that the Bell home had been built on a Native American burial ground[citation needed]. According to the legend, the first manifestation of the haunting occurred in 1817, when John Bell encountered a strange animal in a cornfield on his property. The animal, described as having had the body of a dog and the head of a rabbit, vanished when it was shot at.
The events of the Haunting were used as the basis for the 2006 film An American Haunting and may have influenced production of The Blair Witch Project.

This incident was quickly followed by a series of strange beating and gnawing noises manifesting around, and eventually inside, the Bell residence. After this the Bell children said that their bedclothes were being regularly pulled off and tossed onto the floor by an invisible force.
The family then reported a voice choking and making low, guttural noises. Betsy Bell, the family's younger daughter and the only daughter still living at home, was soon after violently assaulted, her hair pulled and her face slapped by an invisible force.
An artist's drawing of Betsy Bell, originally published in 1894These events continued for over a year before John Bell reported them to his neighbours, James Johnston and his wife, who later said they witnessed them. At this point the strange events experienced by the Bell family became well known in the Red River community, especially reports of a voice conversing loudly and clearly, singing, quoting from the Bible and accurately describing events taking place miles away.
Another major development in the story is the involvement of future U.S. President Andrew Jackson, who heard of the disturbances and decided to observe them in person, in 1819.
On approaching the Bell property, Jacksons entourage encountered an invisible presence that stopped his wagon in its tracks, until he acknowledged that the witch was responsible, upon which the wagon was able to proceed unhindered.
One of the men in Jacksons entourage declared himself to be a witch tamer who intended to kill the spirit. The man began screaming and contorting his body immediately after making these statements. Jackson and his entourage left the Bell property by midday the following day. He is quoted as later saying Id rather fight the entire British Army than to deal with the Bell Witch.

Betsy Bells engagement to a neighbour named Joshua Gardner was another focus of the invisible entitys displeasure, and followed and taunted them whenever they were alone together, leading Betsy to break off the relationship on Easter Monday in 1821.
The disembodied voice continued to communicate its dislike of John Bell, and its intention to kill him. Bell was by then suffering frequent facial seizures, often rendering him speechless. The Bell family blamed John's affliction on the witch, but modern analysis of his symptoms indicates that he may have suffered from Bell's Palsy,[1][2] a paralysis of the facial muscles. The name "Bell's Palsy" comes from Charles Bell, the anatomist that discovered the condition. Charles Bell is no relation to the Bells of Adams, TN. The name is a coincidence, and Bell's Palsy was not identified until 1821, the year after John Bell's death.
John Bell died on December 20, 1820. A small vial containing an unidentified liquid he had apparently ingested was found near the body. When the remaining contents were fed to the family cat, the animal died immediately at the family said later they heard a voice say "I gave Ol' John a big dose of that last night, and that fixed him." Later, at Bells burial, funeral guests reported hearing a voice laughing and singing.
Bells death signaled the end of the series of events, but Lucy Bell later said a voice told her that it would return in 1828. During a three-week visit that year, John Bell Jr. reported that a voice communicated with him, predicting such events as the American Civil War, the Great Depression and both World Wars.
According to legend, after the entity last appeared in 1828, it said it would return 107 years hence, in 1935.
Fitzhugh's relation of the Bell Witch legend concludes with a statement to the effect that many people believe that the spirit returned in 1935, took up residence on the former Bell property, and remains there to the present day. He notes that the faint sounds of people talking and children playing can sometimes be heard in the area, and asserts that it is very difficult to take a good picture there.

Published accounts
The earliest written account is in the Godspeed History of Tennessee published in 1887 by Goodspeed Publishing. No author is given. Page 833 reads:
A remarkable occurrence, which attracted widespread interest, was connected with the family of Garry Bell, who settled near what is now Adams Station about 1804. So great was the excitement that people came from hundreds of miles around to witness the manifestations of what was popularly known as the Bell Witch. This witch was supposed to be some spiritual being having the voice and attributes of a woman. It was invisible to the eye, yet it would hold conversation and even shake hands with certain individuals. The feats it performed were wonderful and seemingly designed to annoy the family. It would take the sugar from the bowls, spill the milk, take the quilts from the beds, slap and pinch the children, and then laugh at the discomfiture of its victims. At first it was supposed to be a good spirit, but its subsequent acts, together with the curses with which it supplemented its remarks, proved the contrary. A volume might be written concerning the performance of this wonderful being, as they are now described by contemporaries and their descendants. That all this actually occurred will not be disputed, nor will a rational explanation be attempted. It is merely introduced as an example of superstition, weak in the minds of all but a few in those times, and yet not wholly extinct.
The most famous account is recorded in the Red Book, the 1894 An Authenticated History of the Bell Witch of Tennessee by Martin Van Buren Ingram, which cites the earlier Richard William Bell's Diary: Our Family Trouble. Richard Williams Bell lists the following people as witnesses:
General Andrew Jackson
Joel Thomas Bell, son of John Bell, Jr.
Rev. Joshua Featheton
Dr. J.T. Mathews
Mr. E. Newton
R.H. Pickering
J. Gun
D. T. Porter
J.I Holman
Wm Wall
W.H. Gardner
The Black Book was written much later, and published in 1934 by Dr. Charles Bailey Bell, great-grandson of John Bell.
Thirteen Tennessee Ghosts and Jeffrey by Kathryn Tucker Windham includes the story of the Bell Witch.
The Guidebook for Tennessee, published by the Works Project Administration in 1939, also contains an account that differs from Ingram's on pages 392393.

"Bell Witch: The Movie" was the first fictionalized account of the Bell Witch, shooting in Tennessee in 2002-2003. It premiered at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville on September 24, 2005. This independent, $3 million dollar budget film starring Betsy Palmer from "Friday The 13th" has yet to be released.
"The Bell Witch Haunting" is a 2004 film made by Willing Hearts Productions. Filmed near the original location, the director claims on the page to have encountered production difficulties such as fires and thinks the Bell Witch was responsible.
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details about An American Haunting follow.
*On May 5, 2006 a film based on the events of the Bell Witch legend, titled An American Haunting, was released. An American Haunting is a thriller written and directed by Courtney Solomon. It stars Donald Sutherland, Sissy Spacek, Rachel Hurd-Wood and James D'Arcy. It is based on the narrative history presented by author Brent Monahan in his book, The Bell Witch: An American Haunting. This movie's explanation of the phenomen was that John Bell sexually assaulted his daughter, and her repressed memories of the event were transferred to the "hauntings of the witch." No reports of anything to this nature has been recording in the books written by family members.

Bell Witch of Tennessee -- Facts and Folklore
INTRODUCTION by Phil Norfleet
This web site has been established to aid folklorists and other interested researchers who are studying the legends concerning the Bell Witch of Robertson and Montgomery Counties, Tennessee.
John Bell (1750-1820) migrated to Middle Tennessee from Halifax County, North Carolina, in the early 1800's. He soon settled on land located along the Red River near the then thriving town of Port Royal. Bell's farm lay in Robertson County but was also close to the boundary of Robertson with Montgomery County.
Purportedly, sometime late in the year 1816, John and his daughter Betsy Bell began to be plagued by a goblin-type of entity, that came to be known as either the "Bell Witch" or "Kate Batts' Witch." The fame of the Witch became so widespread that even Andrew Jackson was said to have visited the Bell household, in about 1819, to experience the "Witch" firsthand.
John Bell had been an active member of the Red River Primitive Baptist Church since his arrival in Tennessee. However, in January 1818, Bell was excommunicated for the sin of usury, as the result of a court conviction involving a slave sale dispute with a neighbor, a man named Benjamin Batts. Some people suspect that the real reason John Bell was excommunicated was due to his involvement with the Bell Witch phenomenon, which had become public knowledge by this time.
In December 1820 John Bell died. According to the legends, Bell had been killed (poisoned) by the "Witch."
On Easter Monday 1821,several months after John Bell's death, the Witch legends tell us that John's daughter, Betsy Bell, broke off her engagement with her childhood sweetheart, Joshua Gardner, because the Witch strongly opposed the relationship. In 1824, Betsy married her former tutor, Richard Powell, apparently without any opposition from the supernatural forces.
Betsy Bell and Her Brothers Confront the Witch!
Richard Powell's Journal
Richard Powell was supposedly a frequent visitor to the Bell household during the Witch Visitation and some people believe that he kept a journal containing information about this strange phenomenon.
In 1997, a book about the Witch was published by Brent Monahan. This book purports to be based on Richard Powell's journal; however, the journal described in the Monahan book is entirely fictitious!
[If anyone visiting this site has any knowledge concerning a real Richard Powell journal, please send me an email with the particulars!]
The Red Book
In my opinion, the best source of the Bell Witch legend is found in a book first published in 1894 by a local journalist, M. V. Ingram, entitled An Authenticated History of the Famous Bell Witch. The book was reprinted in 1961; this edition of the book, because of its red cover, is usually referred to as the "Red Book" by Robertson County residents.
The last reprint (also with a red cover) of this book, of which I am aware, was in 1971, hence a copy is very difficult to find anywhere. Also, many local, Robertson County people say that their copies seem to have mysteriously disappeared! Since the Ingram book has long been in the public domain, I have appended a complete, hyper-linked electronic version to this web site.
Bell Witch in Mississippi
Bell Witch legends in Mississippi are almost as prevalent as they are in Tennessee. This is undoubtedly due to the fact that the families of two of John Bell's children, Jesse Bell and Esther Bell Porter, removed to Mississippi in the 1830's. Also, late in life, Betsy Bell Powell removed to Yalobusha County MS where she died in 1888.
The Legends Involve Actual People
Almost all of the people mentioned in the various Bell Witch stories actually lived. Their names, including some of my own relatives, may be found by research among the official records of the time. In particular, the 1820 Federal Census lists many of the people cited in the Witch stories. While I have never seen an official record that refers specifically to the Witch, I am convinced that the Bell Witch phenomenon was very real to the John Bell family and to their neighbors.

I wanted to try making a small-ish hand plane with a spare cheap chisel that I had around. The body is maple and the bar is brass rod. The blade is from a 1" chisel with the handle cut off. The wedge is also maple. The finish is linseed oil.

Just like how dawn patrol can be a big opportunity, twilight can be an equally under exploited opportunity. Notice how the surf line up is virtually empty, as folks don't want to be in the water as it gets dark. But when you are willing to zig when others zag, then you can reap the spoils. Happy Aloha Friday.

KUALA LUMPUR — August 3, 2017: Celcom Axiata is optimistic its long-term evolution (LTE) fourth generation (4G) service will be on par with major peers by the year's end as it is currently rolling out more network sites nationwide.
Expansion work for the 4G service is in progress and the company is on track to realise the population coverage as targeted by year-end.
"We aim to achieve 85 to 86 per cent for the 4G service, from about 75 per cent currently.
"Our lightning fast LTE network service, compatible with selective mobile models (at present), is also progressing well for customers in the Klang Valley," said Deputy Chief Executive Officer (Business Operations), Azwan Khan Osman Khan, after a media briefing on Celcom's new Xpax internet plans here today.
The company has allocated RM1.5 billion in capital expenditure for 2017 and a large chunk will be used for the expansion work. The bulk of the allocation is for upgrading the capacity and new 4G sites.
"When we upgrade a site, it would also cover 2G and 3G," said Azwan.
The company currently has 29.8 per cent market share in terms of total revenue, including prepaid and postpaid services.
Celcom's main prepaid brand, Xpax, now comes with new a Internet plan that offers up to 15 gigabyte (GB) data.

Child Sponsorship
Plan International's child sponsorship program reduces inequality by addressing the unique needs of children in each community, be it helping children go to school, access clean water, or eat wholesome and healthy good. We're also working with communities to address the barriers to gender equality that limit a girl's potential.
Every year, Plan International receives over 35,000 child sponsorships allowing us to create impactful, long-term and sustainable change for children all over the world.
How child sponsorship works
Plan International believes that every child has the right to a life free of poverty, discrimination and exploitation. Accordingly, when you sponsor a child through Plan International, you are supporting life-changing projects for some of the world's most vulnerable children.
By committing to an ongoing child sponsorship of $51 a month – less than $2 a day – sponsors make a long-term impact on a child's life. Sponsored children can come from countries in Asia, Africa or South America, and children of all ages and genders are eligible for sponsorship.
Sponsorship at Plan International allow you to form a bond with your sponsored child through the exchange of letters and birthday cards. Some sponsors even choose to visit their sponsored children in their village to learn more about their community and their life.
Supporting children, supporting communities
Child sponsorships are applied to life-changing projects in the sponsored child's community to the benefit everyone in that community. These projects make it possible for all children in that same community to access their basic rights, to go to school, access clean water, or eat wholesome and healthy food. Child sponsorship at Plan International is non-religious, and open to children of all ethnicities and faiths.
Communities are selected to participate in the child sponsorship program based on critical measures set by the United Nations. Communities can also nominate families to take part in the program, with the most disadvantaged families selected and encouraged to participate.
Using this model, child sponsorship does not just benefit one child, or even just one family; it has the scope to benefit entire communities and reduces inequality in the long-term.
Other Giving
Plan International also offers other single/regular giving products. These products specifically offer Plan International the ability to create a match pool and to use this match pool to leverage additional funds from institutional donors including the Australian Government. The Australian Government NGO Cooperation Program managed through the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade specifically requires match funding to enhance the impact of the program.
Making your giving go further
As a general principle, the combination of child sponsorship and other giving positions Plan International to amplify the impact into child sponsored communities through this ability to leverage public giving, where $1 dollar leverages into an additional $1.44 in institutional funding (based on FY17 numbers).
This means that when you give Plan International $100, we turn it into $244 of impact in field so that programs for children amount to almost two and a half times the benefit.
How these funds are spent
Plan International works hard to both optimize the amount of funding applied to programs that benefit children and to keep its costs to operate low.
Based on FY17 numbers, for every $1 you give that Plan International can match with additional funds:
80c programmes that benefit sponsored children, their family and their community
2c education about poverty
14c fundraising costs
6c admin and staff costs
2c sourced from Plan International reserves
Investing in quality assurance and for the future
To ensure that we not only sustain, but also grow the work that we do, funds are spent attracting other supporters including new child sponsors. This spend is vital as it takes highly trained, properly remunerated, fully available teams to achieve fundraising results – something that we cannot achieve with unpaid volunteers.
While new donors are essential to the future growth of our programs, donor loyalty is the most valuable gift to Plan International. That is why our teams also work carefully to retain existing donors, many of whom give for many years and continue their legacy by leaving a bequest.
Our commitment to administration costs ensures that proper child safe-guarding procedures are in place to protect children and that our financial practices are robust and meet the high compliance standards set by the Code of Conduct of ACFID, the peak body and the strict requirements of the Australian Government through DFAT.
If you're not in a position to become a child sponsor right now, you can also support our work through other giving by supporting Change for Girls, or by giving to our appeals.

What people asked was simple, why is the US Army training to invade the US? Then things got really out of hand. However, what I did learn when questioning the planners of Jade Helm was that they were exactly as stupid as suspected, no common sense, too much time on their hands and poor judgment.
Making up attention grabbing lies had become a sport.
There was no FBI investigation after the broadcast. Nobody's Google or Facebook account was suspended, no YouTube accounts limited, in fact, no repercussions whatsoever.

How does one depict an invisible ability? Well probably not like this but I can only work with the brain I got LOL.
I just wanted to portray her as immensely powerful being and it's extremely hard to show her on her own controlling the whole of Babylon 5.

Simulation Resource Planning
Addressing current issues relating to the development and management of simulation models requires management of the entire lifecycle. Early requirements and development activities need to be considered in conjunction with quality assurance activities and the way in which users use models.
Simulation Resource Planning is the management of all processes and work items along the entire planning, development, and usage cycle of simulation models and systems.
The crucial aspect of Simulation Resource Planning is to include all lifecycle phases instead of focusing exclusively on dedicated parts. Information collected at an early stage is vital in later phases and may not be reconstructed afterwards.
Simulation Resource Planning is all about processes and work items. Processes are required to improve the maturity of model development and usage activities. Work items are created within the processes and need to be organized and managed efficiently and effectively.
With M&S striving to move from art to an engineering discipline, Simulation Resource Planning is essential for your success and gives you a key advantage over your competitors.

With pending federal legislation on copyright, access to information and privacy gummed up in a minority Parliament (several have already died on the order paper as elections were called (and there's a good chance of a spring election this year), the Supreme Court has on its docket several potentially groundbreaking decisions. Trademark, access to government information and the liabilities of hyperlinking, which no blogger can do without, are all up for decisions this year. Professor Geist is an acknowledged expert on digital media law; it's worth looking at his view of the year ahead, and I hope in future I don't have to get his permission to link to articles he puts in the public domain.

Rather than close Gitmo, Mr. President, send El Chapo there!
By John W. Lillpop
The unexpected convergence of two major news stories provides the world with a great opportunity to start the new year in a way that protects innocent people against the ravages of a drug king pin, while addressing the urgent need to cut the legs out from under a dangerous lame duck politician who imagines that he is king!
Specifically, as reported far and wide, Mexican drug kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" has been recaptured and sent to the same prison from which he escaped just a few months ago. The world's most wanted drug baron was arrested in a military raid earlier this month that left five suspects dead in Los Mochis, a coastal city in his native northwestern state of Sinaloa.
Legitimate concerns about the ability, and willingness, of the corrupt Mexican government to contain El Chapo are being expressed everywhere, including in the US where authorities have requested that the surly Mexican thug be extradited north to answer for crimes committed in the Promised Land.
Given the fact that Mexico has actively promoted the illegal invasion of America by 12-30 million Mexican peasants, the request for the head of yet another offending Mexican felon does not seem too onerous.
Still, Mexico's politicians are not known for acting in a manner that benefits America, even when doing so would benefit the third-world failed state itself!
Meanwhile, as El Chapo plots his next drama-filled, made for TV escape and resumption of Lordship over the world's most vile drug empire, American interests are being hindered by a daft president who is intent on shutting down the Gitmo detention center which has been used to detain the most dangerous, evil terrorists in the world.
Until, that is, Obama started shipping head-cutting jihadists back to the front lines to wage war against heroic American men and women
Indeed, Barack Hussein Obama has made it clear that he will do anything to fulfill his election promise to close Gitmo before he leaves office on January 20, 2017. In typical Obama fashion, he considers quitting Gitmo to be an intricate part of his "strategy" for defeating ISIS!
With all due respect to our muddled leader, the sensible thing to do is to recognize that 3rd-world Mexico cannot, or will not, protect the world from El Chapo. He is too wily and smart for Mexican mortals to handle.
So instead of carrying water for Islamic extremists, Mr. President, why not do what is best for America and Mexico: Keep Gitmo open indefinitely, and send El Chapo there where he and the Castro brothers can while away the hours cursing America in profanity-laced Spanish!

The global economy
Writing in the first few weeks of the year, it appears to be clean that, another time, the 12 months ahead is going to be a difficult one for the global economy. Although this may sound some thing like a rerun of the news from any yr considering 2008, unluckily, it does seem in all likelihood to be the case.
At the moment, america and United Kingdom economies are developing reasonably healthily but their economic recoveries remain fragile. Consumer spending in each nations is extremely thin and unpredictable.
The as soon as unstoppable Chinese economic system is slowing down, even though increase there nevertheless remains at ranges that nearly any other usa might regard as an unachievable ideal! It seems probably as though the demand for certain kinds of agricultural merchandise in China will retain to growth, which is good for his or her home manufacturers and people countries they import matters inclusive of tractors and agricultural equipment from as well as produce.
Unfortunately, from that point onwards, the picture seems an increasing number of gloomy.
Australia and the Euro Zone appear to be going through surprisingly anaemic growth prospects for the 12 months in advance. In addition, Greece is still a large even though presently now not 'headline information' worry for European financiers.
Many economies in South America and Africa appear like heading for dire difficulties or even the only-time electricity wealthy Russian economic system seems to be in some hazard of spiralling ever similarly downwards nearly out of manipulate.
The early weeks of 2016 have also seen several mild panics on the diverse inventory markets and although these haven't yet tipped over a precipice right into a mass panic promote-off, matters have come close to that on some events. Once once more, there's some evidence that capital is beginning to transport returned into matters which includes gold and different safe havens.

We all know Grab, this application that surfs with the success of transport applications and which came to upset the transport habits of every one since 2013. Created by two Malaysians Anthony Tan, and Tan Hooi Ling, Grab became this year in Asia, to the detriment of UBER, the main online mobile platform in Southeast Asia.
To use GRAB, you only need to download the mobile app that puts you in touch with mobile drivers. Whether in Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, Burma, Cambodia, Singapore, Myanmar, no need to wait impatiently on the sidewalk until a traditional taxi comes to pick you up, you indicate your location, then your destination and the system provides you with the information on the nearest available vehicles and the choice of transport and driver is in your hands. And all this at an unbeatable price.
But Grab is not only a way of transportation. Every year, the company establishes partnerships with charitable causes or artistic events. This year, their collaboration with the Red Cross has raised funds to support the victims of the earthquakes in Indonesia. By becoming an official partner of the mobile platform of the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art Nusantara during the exhibition Yayoi Kusama, they allowed Jakartans deprived of vehicles to be able to access the art exhibition at a lower cost. By partnering with the Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week from August 8-12, they helpt a rally of more than 150,000 fashion professionals around the Ready-to-wear fashion shows who promoted Malaysian designers.
The advantages of GRAB transport
Ability to track the progress of the reserved vehicle and to know exactly how long it will take to reach us.
No scam, because the price of the trip is already set before deciding to book.
Grab's drivers do not belong to any transport company. Despite their autonomy, they must complete professional training before registration and commit themselves to an internal regulation. That is why you will be greeted often with a smile in Asia.
The price is much cheaper than a taxi.
Once a driver is assigned to you, his registration number is displayed, which is handy for identifying the right car.
A chat allows you to exchange with the driver and the conversation will be translated into the local language.
You can pay in cash or by credit card.
The quality of each trip is always ensured thanks to a function allowing the customer to give evaluation points to the driver according to his attitude and quality.
Easy to find your luggage if you forget it because the driver's information is recorded in the history of the application.
You understood it, Grab is a great way of transportation by car, motorbike, courier services and more. Latest but not least innovation: Grab has just set up the bike sharing with GrabCycle Beta. Bicycles can be paid for each use using GrabCredits, the company's virtual currency. GrabCycle Beta is currently operational in Grab's hometown in Singapore, but a spokesman confirmed that the company could probably start the service in other localities in Southeast Asia.

Gospel Treason
God has made us for himself and he is jealous for our whole-hearted devotion. The greatest commandment is to "love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind" (Mt. 22:37). The worship of idols is nothing less than treason against the living God. Join us for a study of Brad Bigney's book Gospel Treason: Betraying The Gospel With Hidden Idols. Examine real-life stories and examples to see how idols that you might not even recognize can still have devastating effects in your life. Identify idols and understand how they lead to treason against the Gospel. Finally, understand how to repent of them by turning to the only One who can fill your every need. Doug & Sue Roberts each this class in the Ministry Room.
Last Things First: A Study of Eschatology
Eschatology, the study of "last things" is a vitally important area of divine truth. Understanding what God's Word teaches about the rapture of the church, the tribulation, the second coming of Christ, the millennial kingdom, and related topics is a great inducement to holy living and endurance through difficult times. As Peter wrote to persecuted believers scattered throughout the Roman Empire, "Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of people ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness, waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God …" (2 Peter 3:11-12). Alan Lenz eaches this study in the Choir Room.
