Hi aunty Lisa,
I'm a 17 year old guy and I've been in love with this girl aged 19 for over 2 years and I wanted to ask her out so many times but I'm extremely shy.
I've been obsessed about her, I love her so much and I think about her all the time. About 3 weeks ago though I was at her house and she asked if I wanted to have sex. I said yes and I lost my virginity to her and when we were done I told her I really have feelings for her and asked her to be my girlfriend and she said yes.
Now the problem is since then, we've been having sex too much and it feels like we're in a "friends with benefits" relationship but I want it to be so much more than that. I've been starting to feel bad about the sex and it feels like we only love each other for our bodies. This other day she nearly broke my penis!
She always initiates it and I like having sex, but I wanna just hang out with her sometimes and go to the movies or just get to spend some quality time. I'm head over heels for her and seriously I'd still wanna be with her even if there was no sex.
I really love her for who she is and I wanna tell her but I don't wanna mess things up by saying something that might ruin what we have now. How do I set things straight here, and be like a real couple instead of just having sex?

Kitchen Care and Cleaning Tips — Part 2
Now, for Part 2 of the cleaning trilogy!
Hopefully, last week's Part 1 of the cleaning trilogy got you off to a good start, with some basic cleaning information, cast iron restoration, and even a run-down on pans and lining materials. This week, prepare for:
• Cleaning metal — Scrubbing whats and how-tos.
• Cleaning dried/cooked-on food — It doesn't have to be hard (the food or the chore).
• Stove and oven cleaning — Inside, outside, and the secret under-stove panel no one told you about.
• Cleaning hard water stains — Because when everything is sand, it's all you ever do.
• Cleaning rust — Because if you live on earth, it'll eventually happen to you.
• Getting stains out of coffee mugs — We've all had that sad realization that our favorite mug was more stain than ceramic, but there is a way to make it better!
Next week, we will talk about some maintenance practices and garbage disposal management before I share some helpful hints for you. Stay tuned for Part 3, and today, enjoy our opening subject: Cleaning Metal.
Whether it's your old pans, scarred from years of burnt on and re-burnt on cooking spray, your kitchen sink, or some old silverware or brass you have around the house, metal is pretty easy to clean, as long as you have the right tools. My favorite tool for this job, which I mentioned back in the first article, is Bar Keeper's Friend. I've used it to clean silverware, stainless steel, brass, and most of my aluminum pots and pans. Since this cleaner is an abrasive, it's important to remember that, when you're using it, always work in the direction of the grain of the metal. This stuff will remove tarnish from silver, scorch marks from pans, and years of age from other metals. Pledge also makes a multi-surface cleaner for less aggressive stains. Bonus thought on cleaning metal: If you need a more gentle abrasive and need to clean some jewelry, use toothpaste! The diatoms in toothpaste (the little critters that make toothpaste sandy) are gentle enough to use on jewelry metal.
Getting dried-on foods off of any surface is a major pain in the butt. My first recommendation to combat this, if you can help it, is always do your dishes promptly. *However,* I realize that isn't always an option, especially for those with roommates who share your dishes. In most cases, soaking the dried food, either in a sink full of water or for an hour with a wet paper towel is enough to do the trick. Sometimes, you need a little bit more oomph than that. Using a dish scrubber, like the ones I mentioned in the beginning of the article, help immensely. They can scrub better than sponges, and they don't get ripped to pieces quite as easily. If your food is burned to the bottom of a pan, you can fill the pan with just enough water to cover the burned-on food, boil it for 15 minutes or so, let it cool, and then try scrubbing it off with soap and water. If you've got a dirty microwave full of dried on food, try the paper towel trick or take a microwave safe bowl and fill it with a cup of water and a chopped lemon or about 5 tablespoons of white vinegar. Microwave the bowl of water and acid on high for about 10 minutes or long enough for the solution to boil and make the inside of the microwave steamy. Carefully remove the hot bowl and wipe down the interior of the microwave with a clean paper towel. The acid-steam bath us usually enough to loosen any old food. If you need to, repeat the process until everything comes out clean.
If you have a stove like this where the burners lead into mysterious, unreachable bowls that open to somewhere in the limbo between the range top and the oven? I have good news! Clean off anything that's sitting on top of your stove and grab a hold of the lip at the front of the appliance that makes up the edge of the stove top. Lift up, and once you grit your teeth through the awful screeching noise of metal on metal and prop the top of your stove in place, you'll be able to see the underside!
Like that! (I apologize to anyone who had their sound on high…)
When the stove is closed, you can also gently pull the coils out from their plugs and lift them up just high enough to get a hand underneath to clean the dishes below them. Once you're underneath any part of your stove, start by using gentle cleaners, and if you have to work your way up to something more heavy duty, like steel wool or Bar Keeper's Friend, for scrubbing, remember to work in the direction of the metal. If you pause the video at around 6 seconds, you can see the circular scuff marks under my stove from when I didn't scrub in the same direction as the metal (I also shouldn't have been using such an aggressive scrubber on that coated metal — learn from my mistakes). Once you're done cleaning under your stove lid, make sure you push it down until it clicks. Nothing about this mechanism is graceful, so just like opening it took a little bit of force, closing it is going to be a bit loud and clunky, too.
Now that you've cleaned the top part of your stove, let's talk about cleaning the oven. Some ovens are lined with porcelain and are designed to self-clean as they go, others have a "Self Clean" setting, and others still have neither of these features. If you've got a porcelain oven, you're all set; just wipe down the cold oven with a wet sponge or paper towel. Don't use any abrasive cleaners, and only use mild soap to clean, if you must use something other than water and a cloth. You can clean the racks with soap and water, like the racks from any other oven.
If you have an oven with a "Self Clean" option, open up the windows for ventilation, remove the oven racks, and turn on the self cleaning feature. It will heat the oven to a temperature high enough to burn off any food debris inside and turn it to ash. You'll want to make sure you've got fans running and windows open to let the burning smell out. While the oven takes care of the inside job on its own, you can wash the racks in warm soapy water and let them dry. The cleaning feature on the oven will take anywhere from 2 to 6 hours and heat the inside of the oven to around 900 degrees F. Once it's done running, let it cool off for two hours before opening the oven door. You can sweep out the remaining ash with a brush and dustpan, following up by wiping down the interior of the oven with a wet paper towel. Clean off the oven door either with a kitchen cleaner or a water and vinegar solution in a spray bottle.
If you don't have an oven willing to do the work for you, not to worry. Start off by taking out the racks, just as before, and cleaning them in the sink with soap and water. Take an empty 1 liter spray bottle and add four tablespoons of baking soda before filling it to the mark with warm water. Shake the bottle until the baking soda is dissolved and then spray down the inside of the oven, making sure to thoroughly soak any noticeably dirty or charred areas. If you have a particularly nasty spot, you can make a paste with the baking soda and apply it to that spot. Let the baking soda-treated areas soak for an hour. If after an hour, any of the spots are still hard and don't flake away, treat again with a baking soda paste and let it sit for another hour. Once the blackened spots are loosened, use a scraper to peel away the grime, spraying with more of the baking soda and water as needed to keep the mess damp while you work. Once you've scraped, repeat the initial spray process and let it sit for an hour again before scraping a final time to get off any remaining residue. Once you've done that, Make up a solution that's half water and half white vinegar. Dip a paper towel or a cloth in the solution and wipe down the interior of your oven one last time. That ought to do it!
Since I moved out west, I've been learning just how difficult hard water can be to deal with. It clogs shower heads, leaves stains on metal, and leaves residue in my tea kettle. While issues like the tea kettle can be mostly handled by making sure there's no water left in the kettle when I'm done using it, troubles like clogged shower heads and hard water stains and buildup on surfaces is less easy to deal with. Fortunately, there are some tips and tricks that can save you (and me) from scrubbing away at every surface water has ever touched.
For mild hard water stains on any surface, you can wipe them down with lemon juice (or just use half a lemon). For more stubborn stains, use white vinegar, wiping it onto the stain and letting it sit for a few minutes before rinsing the surface. If the stain is really tough, make a paste with white vinegar and baking soda and scrub the buildup with a toothbrush, letting the paste sit and work on the stain for a few minutes before you wipe it off.
Another trick my mom told me about is using a Magic Eraser. While it won't completely eat through the toughest stuff, it certainly does help break down most buildup, and unless you've got months and months of hard water buildup in your shower like I do, one of the special soap scum erasers ought to do the trick. Even for my serious hard water stains, it made a big difference.
For stubborn buildup on faucets and shower heads, fill a plastic bag with about 1/3 cup of white vinegar and fasten it to the shower head or faucet so the part with the buildup on it is submerged in the vinegar. Let the bag sit for 2 to 3 hours before removing it and brushing off the (hopefully) now-loosened deposits and rinsing the faucet. If all else fails and no home remedy will clear up your calcium buildup, commercial lime remover is available, just be careful when using it and be sure to protect your skin, nose, and eyes.
Cleaning rust comes with a caveat: If your cookware has rusted and it's not cast iron, it should probably be thrown out or demoted to decorative status. If you're trying to clean rust off of cast iron, reference last week's post, and it'll walk you through all the steps, from rust removal to seasoning to storage and prevention. If you're trying to clean rust stains off of surfaces around the house (I know I get them in my sink from drying out cans), use an abrasive lie Bar Keeper's Friend (make sure you read the label to see if it's safe to use on the surface you want to clean). Bar Keeper's Friend is also great for cleaning little blooms of rust off of unfinished metal surfaces like buckles, clasps, and locks — I used it to clean up an old steamer trunk I bought off of Craigslist. Before you use an abrasive of any kind on any surface, make sure you read the container to verify it's safe on your surface, and always test out a small, inconspicuous area first to make sure it doesn't cause any scratches or discoloration.
I'm sure most of you reading this have been forced to make that sad decision to retire a favorite coffee/tea mug at some point in your life. Sometimes it's because they're broken or chipped, other times it's because they're so nasty and stained inside that you're either embarrassed by it or a little grossed out. As with most stain removal how-tos, there are a few ways to go about things.
• One way is for light stains. Take a couple teaspoons of baking soda and just enough water to make a paste. Using an old toothbrush or something similar, scrub the stain for a few minutes. Once the stain is out, wash the cup with soap and water, and you're all set!
• Another way is using lemon juice and salt. Add about a teaspoon of salt and either a lemon rind or a teaspoon of lemon juice and scrub the stain like with the baking soda. Wash with soap and water and the mug should be all clean.
• A Magic Eraser can help wipe away some superficial stains, just make sure you wash the mug thoroughly when you're done.
• Bar Keeper's Friend or OxyClean and enough water to make a paste can help scrub out some of the deeper stains. Make sure you wash the mug well with soap and water after scrubbing, and test the scrub on the bottom of the mug to make sure it doesn't leave scratches before you scrub the inside of the mug.
If you'd rather try some set-it-and-forget-it methods, here are a couple of them:
• Heat up a cup of white vinegar in the microwave or on the stove until it's hot. Pour the hot vinegar into the mug and let it sit for at least four hours or overnight for stubborn stains. After it's sat, pour the vinegar out and wash the cup with soap and water.
• The second method involves dissolving a denture tablet in hot water. Once the tablet stops fizzing, wash the cup and you should be good to go.
• For more stubborn stains, soak the mug overnight in a mixture of 1 gallon of warm water and 1 tablespoon of bleach. That should knock out even the most persistent stains.

text: General AnesthesiaOndansetron Given Before Induction of Anesthesia Reduces Shivering After General AnesthesiaSurvey of Anesthesiology: February 2001 - Volume 45 - Issue 1 - p 29 Free ROBERT M. POWELL AND DONAL J. BUGGY University Department of Anaesthesia, Leicester University, Leicester, United Kingdom Anesth. Analg., 90: 1423–1427, 2000 The neurotransmitter pathways involved in the mechanism of postanesthetic shivering (PAS) are poorly understood, but probably involve multiple levels of information integration and numerous neurotransmitters. Meperidine, clonidine, and physostigmine are effective treatments, indicating that opioid, α2-adrenergic, and anticholinergic systems are likely involved. Various observations suggest that the serotonergic system has a role in the control of PAS. Ondansetron, a 5-HT3 antagonist, may affect perioperative thermoregulation and PAS. This randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded study evaluated the effect of ondansetron, given just before anesthesia induction, on the typical core-to-peripheral temperature redistribution evoked by general anesthesia and on the incidence of PAS. The 82 patients, aged 18 to 60 yr, were scheduled for orthopedic, general, or urologic surgery. Group O4 (n = 27) received 4 mg ondansetron IV, group O8 (n = 27) received 8 mg ondansetron IV, and group C (n = 28) received saline IV as a negative control immediately before the induction of anesthesia. Core and fingertip temperatures were recorded. Anesthesia was induced with IV fentanyl and propofol and maintained with I minimum alveolar anesthetic concentration isoflurane in 70% nitrous oxide/oxygen. Patients were not actively heated. PAS was documented clinically during recovery by nursing staff, who were unaware of the group assignment. Shivering was defined as readily detectable fasciculations or tremors of the face, trunk, or limbs for a minimum of 15-sec duration. Demographic data, sex, and duration of anesthesia were similar among the groups. The incidence of PAS was 15% in patients in the O8 group compared with 57% in the saline control group, a significant difference. Patients in the O4 group had an intermediate incidence of 33%, not significantly different from either of the other groups. Mean arterial pressure and heart rate decreased compared with baseline after the induction of anesthesia, with pressure values remaining lower than baseline for the duration of the administration of anesthesia, but heart rates tending to recover to preinduction values after surgery began. There were no significant differences among the groups at any time. Within each group core temperature decreased and fingertip temperature increased significantly, but there were no significant differences among the groups at any time interval. Visual analog scale pain scores were low in all groups at 15 min after arousal, with the control, O4, and O8 groups having mean scores of 2.1, 2.3, and 1.9, respectively. Ondansetron, 8 mg, given before the induction of anesthesia, reduces the incidence of PAS in adults, without affecting the core-to-peripheral redistribution of temperature normally observed during the administration of general anesthesia. This finding suggests that serotonergic pathways are involved in the multifactorial regulation of PAS. Comment: This prospective, randomized, double-blind study of 87 patients undergoing elective minor surgery demonstrates that ondansetron can be quite effective in reducing the incidence of postanesthetic shivering (PAS). In addition, it seems that this effect is dose-dependent, and may require rethinking of the standard dose of ondansetron used to treat postoperative nausea and vomiting if one is to also take advantage of the PAS-sparing effects of this drug. PAS is not only unpleasant but may be life-threatening in the patient with significant coronary artery disease emerging from general anesthesia. It appears that ondansetron decreases PAS without directly affecting temperature in the patient. The authors of this study found no difference in the core to peripheral temperature changes that occur on induction of general anesthesia. Therefore, ondansetron is acting centrally to decrease the brain's response to the decrease in core temperature associated with general anesthesia. Other cheaper drugs have been used to decrease PAS (i.e., meperidine or neostigmine) but none have the excellent drug profile of ondansetron. The lack of hemodynamic, sedative, and central nervous system effects makes it extremely safe to administer in the PACU to patients emerging from general anesthesia. Another avenue of future study with this drug and other 5-HT3 antagonists is in the area of shivering related to epidural and spinal anesthesia.

|Notre Dame | Louisville
NOTRE DAME, Ind. – A top-three showdown awaits as No. 2 Notre Dame women's basketball travels to No. 3 Louisville on Thursday, Jan. 11, for a battle for the top-spot in the ACC standings. The game will be broadcast on ESPN, with tip-off set for 7 p.m. ET inside the KFC Yum Center.
The Irish (14-1, 3-0) vie for their ninth straight win and their second against a top-five opponent this season, after previously dispatching No. 3 ranked South Carolina. Notre Dame, who stopped the Gamecocks then 17-game win streak, will look to halt another streak on Thursday as the Cardinals (18-0, 4-0) enter with an unblemished record.
Arike Ogunbowale has produced three straight games of 20- plus points and is once again vying for the opportunity to tie her career best stretch of four straight, already set once this season.
Ogunbowale has proven herself to be an ACC road warrior, tallying 25 points at both Wake Forest and Georgia Tech, with each marking her second highest scoring output on the year. The junior got off to hot starts in each, scoring 10 points in the first quarter at Wake Forest and then a season best 12 points in the opening period at Georgia Tech. Ogunbowale started the game 7-of-8 from the field vs the Yellow Jackets.
Perseverance has been the name of the game in South Bend and the Irish have the numbers to back it up. With a strength of schedule ranked first in the country, a RPI ranked second and conference RPI ranked first, the Irish enter Thursday's matchup 16-1, winners of eight straight and a 4-0 record in ACC play.
Notre Dame boasts the second most wins over RPI top- 50 opponents with eight and is also tied with Louisville for the second most wins over top-25 ranked opponents with four. A win Thursday over the third ranked Cardinals would tie UConn for first in both categories, and also tie the Huskies for two top-five wins this season.
In two the last three games, the Irish have produced their highest and third highest shooting percentages on the season – both of which occurred on the road. At Wake Forest, Notre Dame shot at least 80.0 percent in both the first and third quarters, finishing at 55.7 percent for the game. At Georgia Tech, the Irish shot 70.0 percent (21-30) from the field in the first half, marking the first time they had accomplished the feat in any half of play since shooting 71.4 (30-42) versus Valparaiso on Dec. 4, 2016. Notre Dame ultimately finished with a season best 62.3 percent.
All-in-all, Notre Dame is shooting an impressive 51.0 percent during ACC play, which ranks first in the league. As a result, Notre Dame's season shooting percentage has jumped to 49.0 percent, which ranks seventh in the nation.
With the win at Georgia Tech on Jan. 7, the Irish procured its ninth win away from home this season, which ties Villanova and UConn for the most among all NCAA Division-I schools. From Nov. 14-Dec. 3, the Irish played seven straight games away from the friendly confines of Purcell Pavilion, matching the longest streak of non-home games in regular season history. Now Notre Dame has played a total of 10 away from home, travelling 13,070 round-trip miles in the process.
In three career games vs Louisville, Ogunbowale has totaled 50 points to average 16.7 points per game. Mabrey's 26 points against Louisville last March lifted the Irish past the Cardinals into the ACC Tournament Championship game. Overall, Mabrey averages 10.0 points over three games. Young contributed 16 points in each of the two games vs Louisville last season. Finally, Westbeld is averaging 7.0 points over four games.
No. 3 Louisville's 18-0 record is their best start and longest winning streak in program history, besting the program's 16 straight wins set from 12/3/13 to 2/4/14. The Cardinals are one-of-four remaining undefeated teams in the country along with No. 1 UConn, No. 4 Mississippi State and next week's opponent for Notre Dame, No. 6 Tennessee.
Thursday's game will be between two of the top-shooting teams in the country as Louisville's .486 shooting percentage ranks eighth in the country. The Cardinals also rank 18th in free-throw percentage (.766) and 12th in three-point shooting percentage (.389). Individually, Louisville is led by Asia Durr's 20.2 points per game, which ranks 31st in the nation.

Imagine beautiful and expressive weaves … weaving created to represent diseases, like ADHD, Celiac, Depression and more. The weaves Nicole Gowans has created and curated into the ˈmalədē exhibit are striking. Each is paired with a quote from a person who has experienced this disease. The quotes are incredibly well-curated, capturing some of the uniquely difficult aspects of being a patient with a given disease rather than focusing on symptoms and diagnoses. The quotes and weaves reflect the experiences and unique insights that people generally don't understand unless they themselves or a loved one has experienced these conditions.
From the artist:
"Growing up with two nurses for parents I have always had a love for medicine. As I grew older I knew that I wanted to connect that passion with my art. My goal through this project was to communicate to an individual viewing the pieces how the diseases impact the body, the emotional toll, and the psychological ramifications. I wanted to depict what someone enduring the disease feels and allow the viewers to also experience the impact the disease can have on a person. I felt that I could help bring a personal awareness and understanding to more people through my project.
Through this exhibit – Malady – ˈmalədē – woven representations of how ADHD, Alzheimer's, Celiac, Depression, and Starvation impact the body – I wanted to create something that could bring to life and express the destruction that illness causes not only the body but also the mind. The mental aspect of the disease can play just as large a role in a person's ability to function as the physical. With that, I explored both physical ailments and mental disorders that are very prevalent in our society today.
I decided to try to replicate these diseases through weaving as a way to explore texture, space, dimensionality, color, feel, and pattern."
Please join us for the exhibit reception held August 29th from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM. Light refreshments will be provided.
The exhibit runs from July 19th through September 15th, 2017.

Damn, Fetty's back at it again with another Monty collaboration.
After remixing Future's "Wicked" this weekend, he has now remixed Playboi Carti's viral hit "Broke Boi."
"Swerving through the hood on these broke boys / man Monty eating good on these broke boys/ RGF the island, you ain't know boy?" raps Fetty.
The arrival of the "Broke Boi (Remix)" comes exactly a week after Fetty and Monty paid homage to their hometown homie Victor Cruz. Somewhere in between collaborating with Monty and readying his sophomore album, Fetty's been spending time with his new baby girl, Khari.
Take a listen to Fetty and Monty's remix below.

In Hyperbaric Medicine is used method is hyperbaric oxygenation, which is based on the glut of blood by oxygen by increasing the pressure in a confined space. Thanks to this effects, the blood significantly is enriched a gas and at the same time begins to circulate more quickly. This contributes to an accelerated transportation oxygen to the cells and tissue regeneration.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is performed in a pressure chamber, where is artificially created excess atmospheric pressure of desired value and parallel is supplied oxygen-enriched air. Typically, the session lasts only several minutes.
In all diseases, when the delivery of oxygen to organs and tissues is broken, develops hypoxia (oxygen starvation). The vital organs are very sensitive to lack of oxygen and can not function properly at its deficit.
HBO renders a number of effects, favorably affecting the patient's condition: antiedematous action; anti-inflammatory; accelerates the wound process, promotes proliferation of vascular capillaries and restores a blood flow in organs and tissues. HBO normalizes collagen synthesis, accelerates the formation of bone callus, eliminates the phenomenon of osteoporosis and so on.
The spectrum of diseases in which the possible of using HBO, is quite wide. HBO therapy is especially effective in the following pathologies:

But if your mates get a good laugh out of it then at least something positive has emerged.
This chump experienced just that when he performed a stunt in front of his lad pals.
The guys seem to have been enjoying some beer on a seaside cliff face in the sun.
Chilling in their swimming shorts, they stand ready to watch his feat.
The lad's idea was to have a friend throw him a frisbee and he would gloriously catch it mid-air while diving into a beautiful blue ocean.
What actually happens is just as enjoyable.
The lad dives dramatically through the air in sublime slow motion.
At first it looks like he's about to catch it but the blue disc slips through his fingers.
He desperately stretches his hand out to rescue it but it's too late.
And to make matters worse, the hopeful lad belly flops with a huge smack into the sea.
All of his mates gasp at the thought of how painful that fail must have been but couldn't contain their giggles.
Who says men can't multi-task?
But it isn't just him who has suffered pain in front of his mates – a bikini babe recently fell off a zip wire and smacked into a river.

Comments on BNP leader Nick Griffin's Twitter account about a gay couple at the centre of a landmark legal case are being examined by police.
The Brampton address of Michael Black and John Morgan, who won a ruling that they had been discriminated against by a B&B owner, was seemingly published.
The tweets on the MEP's account - now suspended - also appeared to call for a demonstration outside.
Cambridgeshire Police is looking into complaints about the tweets.
Mr Black and Mr Morgan went to court after they were refused a double room at Swiss Bed and Breakfast, in Berkshire, by its owner.
'Bit of drama'
Among the tweets on the @nickgriffinmep account were two which read: "So Messrs Black & Morgan, at [their address]. A British Justice team will come up to Huntington & give you a...
"...bit of drama by way of reminding you that an English couple's home is their castle. Say No to heterophobia!"
An earlier tweet on the North West region MEP's account had asked for the couple's address and then said: "We'll hold demo... for rights of all home owners, gays included, to rent or not rent rooms to whomsoever they wish."
Twitter users trying to access the account on the micro-blogging site were subsequently told it had been suspended. It is not clear who made that request.
A Cambridgeshire Police spokeswoman said: "We have received a number of calls in relation to the tweets and are looking into the complaints we have received.
"Officers will also visit the men mentioned in the tweets as part of our inquiries."
One of the tweets had included a home address, she added.
Human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell said police should take action against Mr Griffin.
On Thursday Mr Black, 64, and Mr Morgan, 59, were awarded £1,800 each at Reading County Court for "injury to feelings" after they had booked a double room at Swiss B&B via email.
When they arrived in March 2010, owner Susanne Wilkinson, who is a Christian, would not let them stay in a room with a double bed.
Recorder Claire Moulder said that by refusing the couple access to a double room, Mrs Wilkinson had "treated them less favourably than she would treat unmarried heterosexual couples in the same circumstances".
'Simply unacceptable'
However, the recorder accepted that Mrs Wilkinson was genuine about her Christian beliefs and had also stopped unmarried heterosexual couples from sharing a double bed.
The Christian Institute has backed Mrs Wilkinson's case.
Mrs Wilkinson was granted permission to appeal against the ruling and said she would give it "serious consideration".
James Welch, from civil rights group Liberty which took up the men's case, said: "It is simply unacceptable for people running a business to refuse to provide a service because of someone's sexual orientation."
It comes as a similar case in Cornwall awaits a Supreme Court hearing.
Peter and Hazelmary Bull, the Christian owners of a guesthouse in Marazion, who also turned away a gay couple, have won permission to appeal against their ruling.

Recycling is finally coming to the Alberta City of Medicine Hat, as the city, in partnership with Can Pak Environmental, begins the process of rolling out some 23,000 blue recycling carts to residents over the next seven weeks.
The net cost to residents upon implementation will be less than $6 per month and will be included on utility bills, city officials said. The adjusted rates will go to Council for final approval later this spring.
The blue recycling carts will be delivered with an information package attached for residents to understand how to use the cart, learn about the materials that are accepted and how to prepare them for recycling, city officials said.
"The staggered [cart] delivery method is being utilized to reduce risks, minimize costs and ensure thorough delivery," said Brian Murphy, General Manager of the City's Environmental Utilities Department, in a statement. "With multiple factors to consider, it is difficult to provide exact dates for delivery, however residents can expect weekly updates on the delivery progress through social media and on the City website."
Murphy added that residents can start using their blue recycling cart as soon as it arrives. They can fill it up and set it out on the same collection day in the same set out location as the grey cart, he said.
There is no opting out of the recycling program.
Medicine Hat has released a new video about the recycling roll-out.

Software piracy is on the increase, but what is the extent of the problem in the Middle East and how are regional authorities managing it?
|~|PIRB---PHOTO-2---Al-Shanfar.jpg|~||~|Software piracy is defined as the unauthorised duplication of computer software. Although most computer users today are aware of the illegality of illicit use and duplication of software, many show a general disregard for the importance of treating software as valuable intellectual property. Copying software is an act of copyright infringement and is subject to civil and criminal penalties. Using pirated software within an organisation, and distributing it are both illegal.
All software is copyright-protected and the copyright is enforceable for 95 years. Those who infringe copyright are liable for any damages suffered by copyright owners and profits attributed to the infringement, which in the United States can result in penalties of up to US$150,000 per title or up to US$250,000 and five years in jail.
The Middle East has not always upheld robust and clear copyright laws. However, the situation is gradually improving thanks to frontrunners like Jordan and the UAE, whose rulers have realised that in order to lure software companies to invest on their shores, they must be assured their copyright interests will be protected.
As a result, the law has clamped down heavily on all forms of piracy in these countries maintaining a sustained vigil over small retailers, where the mass illegal duplication of software was big business, and over companies themselves, where use of unlicensed software was rampant. Despite all efforts, however, when the Business Software Alliance (BSA) published the results of its 2004 Global Piracy Study in May, the piracy rate in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) was still high at 39%.
Although the actual figure showed a drop of two percentage points on the 2003 rate of 41%, the result does not indicate any significant improvement and the cost to national and international software publishers actually rose in the region as the value of pirated software was revealed to be US$15.7 billion — an increase of US$3 billion.
The study, which was carried out by global research firm IDC on behalf of the BSA, shows software piracy continues to be a major challenge in EMEA. Incorporating major software market segments including operating systems (OS), consumer software and local software, IDC enlisted analysts in over 50 countries to review local market conditions.
Beth Scott, vice president of BSA EMEA says, "Although some progress has been made in EMEA, unfortunately, this small decrease demonstrates that software piracy remains a major obstacle to economic growth and the development of the information economy in EMEA. We need governments to do their part through improved copyright legislation, which promotes innovation in creative industries, as well as public support and action to encourage respect for IP (intellectual property)."||**|||~|PIRB3---PHOTO-2---Al-Shanfa.jpg|~|It is hoped the Al Shanfari Group's signing of the BSA's code of ethics motivate other companies in Oman to install original software across their operations.|~|Piracy, the study revealed, is still most prevalent in countries and regions where the software market is growing. The 50-plus countries within the EMEA region represent a unique microcosm of global piracy, according to Steven Frantzen, IDC managing director for Central and Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa, who points out, "Software piracy is a particular concern to local economies where for every US$1 of software sold, an additional US$1-2 goes to local services, distribution and supply companies.
"Local software creators and emerging markets face both a huge opportunity and a huge challenge if they are to break through the piracy barrier to achieve their growth potential. For growing local solutions providers, piracy represents an almost insurmountable barrier to competing at the national and international level. If local governments want regional businesses to succeed on a wider scale, they need to promote respect for IP, the BSA/IDC report states.
Also keeping a close watch over the international battle to eliminate piracy is the International Intellectual Property Alliance (IIPA). The IIPA is a private coalition established in 1984 to represent the US copyright-based industries in their efforts to improve international protection of copyrighted materials.
In its mission statement, the alliance states, "The IIPA's goal is a legal and enforcement regime for copyright that not only deters piracy, but also fosters technological and cultural development in these countries, and encourages local investment and employment. As technology rapidly changes, IIPA is working to ensure high levels of copyright protection become a central component in the legal framework for the growth of global electronic commerce. Strong legal protections against the theft of intellectual property are essential for achieving the full economic and social potential of global e-commerce."
The piracy watchdog maintains detailed reports about the annual progress of countries around the world in terms of anti-piracy law enforcement and makes recommendations for necessary improvements. In its 2005 report about the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), for example, the IIPA recommended the country remain on its watch list, stating, "The enforcement system in KSA remains one of the least transparent in the world."
The IIPA claims raids in recent years have not had a deterrent effect on piracy in KSA. The fines that are imposed, according to the IIPA report, are too low to act as a serious deterrent. Despite the fact KSA copyright laws, which came into effect in 2004, strengthened penalties available in piracy cases and gave rights holders hope the administrative and judicial system would be more transparent, piracy continues to be a serious issue. "Without the active involvement of the police, the entire chain of pirate distribution, including duplication, distribution and storage sites, remain untouched," states the IIPA.
Similarly, Egypt has long been noted as a market essentially closed to most US rights holders due to major barriers to legitimate business — piracy being the chief issue. Unfortunately, according to the IIPA's 2005 report, the situation worsened last year, with major organised criminal syndicates strengthening their hold on the retail market, flooding it with illegally copied products.
While the Egyptian government took some action against piracy in 2004, and the Anti-Piracy Police department in Cairo became more active, the lack of raids on larger criminal operations meant the Egyptian piracy trade cost US copyright industries US$72.5 million.||**|||~||~||~|For Kuwait the devastating effects of retail piracy and pirate optical disk distribution centres remains a key concern for the IIPA, despite the fact the country's government — specifically the Ministry of Commerce and the Public Department of Customs — has made overtures to identify more criminal targets and raised awareness of the problem.
Lebanon also remains under careful surveillance by the IIPA, although the organisation recognises the country's government did co-operate with the BSA and other rights holders in conducting several raids. The IIPA believes this move demonstrates willingness on the part of the country's authorities, and hopes this is the beginning of a full-scale crackdown down on illegitimate software production, distribution and use, but warns, "Unless the government does more, failure to adequately protect copyright [will have] a detrimental effect on the local economy."
Bahrain, Oman, Jordan and the UAE, previously beset by problems of piracy have each successfully turned a corner in their crusades to eliminate illicit software in recent years, however, having strengthened their legal frameworks as a result of proactive involvement on the part of their respective governments.
The UAE in particular has been commended by the IIPA for its enforcement campaign, which was started in 1994 by the Ministry of Information and Culture (MoIC). "The UAE government has succeeded in doing what no other Gulf State has been able to do: get consistent deterrent results against copyright pirates [and make] significant progress in anti-piracy enforcement over the last few years," the IIPA reports.
UAE authorities have intensified their campaign by carrying out a number of raids on software pirates operating in the country. Earlier this year, Sharjah Police seized three PCs, all operating on pirated Windows XP, Office XP 2003 and Norton Anti-Virus, and 500 pirated CDs, detaining four persons in connection with the case.
The raid against the two companies where the illegal use was detected, was conducted in co-ordination with the Arabian Anti-Piracy Alliance (AAA), which organises a host of awareness campaigns for retailers and distributors as well as end-users like government departments, private companies and individuals. The campaigns focus on the benefits of using legal software, such as protection of IT investments, high performance of computing systems and protection of important data, besides technical support services and the upgrade of original software.
"The raids reflect the seriousness of the authorities in dealing with this problem, sending a clear message to all parties involved in the distribution and use of pirated software that no leniency will be shown towards violators of International Property Rights (IPR). This will create a positive environment for the country's IT industry, and help boost the national economy," says Scott Butler, CEO of the AAA.
In another raid, this time at Abu Dhabi computer stores, the UAE authorities reaffirmed their commitment to press forward with the fight against the illegal use of software products. The MoIC, in co-ordination with the AAA, raided four computer stores in the Emirate, seizing five PCs, once again all operating on pirated Windows XP, Office XP 2003 and Norton Anti-Virus, along with 43 illegally copied CDs.
The authorities also arrested three persons and charged them with violation of IPRs and UAE's copyright and publishing laws. "We are highly appreciative of the series of raids carried out by the UAE MoIC and the police departments to protect IPRs and restrict the illegal use of software products," says Butler.
These co-ordinated efforts have fostered an increased awareness among end users and retailers about the negative effects of using pirated software, an impact that is slowly beginning to spread outside the UAE borders and around the Gulf States. While the UAE occupies a leading position among regional states in its success in bringing down piracy rates, countries elsewhere in the Gulf are recognising the need to follow the example set by the UAE, in order to establish a healthy economic environment, which will help attract more IT investment to the region as a whole.
Reduced overall productivity, data loss, reduced IT investments and the inability to avail the support services and updates offered by legally-produced software, are negative side effects of piracy that affect all companies, and it is to avoid such problems that Oman's Al Shanfari Group recently signed the BSA's Code of Ethics, which lays down that the signatory would "neither commit nor tolerate the manufacturing, use or distribution of unlicensed software" and "would only supply licensed software to internal and external customers."
Adil Bin Saeed Al Shanfari, vice chairman of the group of companies, says the move will allow Al Shanfari to contribute to the sustained campaign by BSA and the Omani authorities to curb the piracy level in the country. "The decision reflects our commitment to follow ethical business practices, and we will ensure strict anti-piracy measures are implemented across our enterprise," he promises.||**|||~||~||~|Over the past three decades, Al Shanfari has emerged as one of the most prominent companies in the Sultanate, with interests in almost every aspect of modern Oman, from engineering, transport, logistics, manufacturing and automotives to commercial, tourism and property management.
The Group has played a major role in establishing and developing Oman's infrastructure and as a result, its signing of the code of ethics is seen as a major boost for the BSA's activities in the Sultanate. It is hoped the corporation's move will motivate other companies in Oman to install original software across their operations.
"There is now a better understanding of the detrimental effects of software piracy, such as reduced IT investments and a consequent decline in employment opportunities, which ultimately impede economic growth. The [move by the] Al Shanfari Group will inspire others to follow suit. This positive measure will help the anti-piracy campaign in the Sultanate gather further momentum," says Jawad Al Redha, co-chairman, of the BSA in the Middle East.
The decision by the Omani business and the initiatives on the part of the UAE authorities are strong examples of the awareness among top-rung companies and governments of the importance of protecting IPRs and the benefits to be gained by using original software.
A proliferation of the use of pirated software results in considerable losses for manufacturers and distributors, bringing down job vacancies and forcing companies to reduce their investments, especially on research and development. On the other hand, international software manufacturers have been giving price benefits to countries that record low piracy rates and are increasing investment in such countries, benefiting end-users as well as national economies.
"Software manufacturers are suffering huge losses as a result of piracy. This forces them to cut down on recruitment and reduce their budgets for research and development. Besides, it persuades them to refrain from distributing their products in countries that record high levels of piracy. On the other hand, these companies are giving priority to countries steadfastly committed to protecting intellectual property rights and restricting software piracy, and the UAE heads this list," Butler explains.
The number of stringent actions levied by regional authorities against the manufacturers and users of pirated software will serve to reassure global companies that have set up facilities in the Middle East, boosting confidence in the ability of regional governments to keep piracy under check. If concerted efforts are not made, however, software piracy will continue to be a key obstacle for business growth for many Middle Eastern countries, leading to economic stagnation.
"In the trend to follow free trade policies, protecting IP rights and promoting the development and use of legal software have become critical to the integration of the global economic system, and to the support of local and regional development plans, as well as to providing an ideal environment that encourages developers towards more technological innovations," states Butler, "We call upon the Arab countries to adopt the successful anti-piracy measures in order to accelerate the transformation to a digital society." ||**||

'Game of Thrones' Series Finale: Daenerys Targaryen's Final Fate, Revealed
[This story contains spoilers for the series finale of HBO's Game of Thrones, "The Iron Throne."]
Even though it feels like they were in each other's lives for years, Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke) and Jon Snow (Kit Harington) only met one season ago in "The Queen's Justice," an episode in which the Dragon Queen and then King in the North first faced off about the future of Westeros. In that cold and comfortless Dragonstone throne room, Daenerys artfully recapped her journey for Jon, packaging more than seven seasons worth of story into one simple monologue:
"I was born at Dragonstone, not that I can remember it. We fled before Robert's assassins could find us. Robert was your father's best friend, no? I wonder if your father knew his best friend sent assassins to murder a baby girl in her crib. Not that it matters now, of course. I spent my life in foreign lands. So many men have tried to kill me. I don't remember all of their names. I have been sold like a brood mare. I have been chained and betrayed, raped and defiled. Do you know what kept me standing through all those years in exile? Faith. Not in any gods. Not in myths and legends. In myself. In Daenerys Targaryen. The world hadn't seen a dragon in centuries until my children were born. The Dothraki hadn't crossed the sea — any sea — and they did for me. I was born to rule the Seven Kingdoms, and I will."
An impressive speech, to be sure — but Jon Snow never impressed easily. His solemn response at the time: "You'll be ruling over a graveyard if we don't defeat the Night King." As it eventually turned out, even after the Night King's defeat, Daenerys was fated to rule over a graveyard anyway.
Nearly ten years of Daenerys' televised journey culminated last week in director Miguel Sapochnik's "The Bells," a harrowing portrayal of the cost of war and the ease with which heroes can become villains under the right (or very wrong) circumstances. Even with King's Landing at her mercy, even with bells tolling throughout the air, Daenerys Stormborn could not find it within herself to accept victory so easily. Instead, she rampaged the city, covering it with fire and blood, succeeding where her dead father failed so many years ago to virtually burn King's Landing all the way to the ground. Bursts of dragon fire and wildfire mixed together to form the most destructive act ever seen in Game of Thrones, and indeed, one of the most destructive acts in the history of Westeros — all thanks to Daenerys, the warrior queen who had the utmost faith in her own worthiness to rule.
Tragically, much of the audience shared Dany's same faith; the fall of King's Landing was their cruel reward. Would the Game of Thrones series finale restore any faith in the Mother of Dragons? That was the big question coming out of "The Bells" and heading into the last remaining hour of the series, written and directed by creators David Benioff and Dan Weiss. At last, we have an answer — and it certainly won't satisfy everyone.
Indeed, many of those who believed in Daenerys throughout the series were deeply unsatisfied with the way she waged war over King's Landing. The opening acts of the series finale involve Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) literally sorting through the rubble of the disaster, discovering the dead bodies of his siblings. He eventually reaches the Red Keep and watches as Daenerys speaks before her gathered forces, ash falling down on the ruins of King's Landing as she sketches out her vision of the future.
"Blood of my blood. You kept all your promises to me. You killed my enemies in their iron suits. You tore down their stone houses. You gave me the Seven Kingdoms," she tells them, speaking in High Valyrian. "Unsullied, all of you were torn from your mother's arms and raised as slaves. Now, you are liberators. You have freed the people of King's Landing from the grip of a tyrant. But the war is not over. We will not lay down our spears until we have liberated all the people of the world! From Winterfell to Dorne, from Lannisport to Qarth, from the Summer Isles to the Jade sea. Women, men and children have suffered too long beneath the wheel. Will you break the wheel with me?"
It's the same speech that, in the past, would have caused the audience to stand up and salute the Khaleesi. But given the context of "The Bells," not to mention the haunting score from Ramin Djawadi, Dany's words take on darker meaning. The meaning is punctuated when Tyrion approaches and resigns as Hand of the Queen. He's immediately placed under arrest. Moments later, he and Jon Snow meet in his makeshift prison cell; Tyrion tries to convince Jon that the only thing to do now is take down Daenerys in order to save the rest of the world.
"When she murdered the slavers of Astapor, I'm sure no one but the slavers complained," says Tyrion. "After all, they were evil men. When she crucified hundreds of Meereenese nobles, who could argue? They were evil men. The Dothraki khals she burned alive? They would have done worse to her. Everywhere she goes, evil men die and we cheer her for it, and she grows more powerful and more sure she is good and right. She believes her destiny is to build a better world for everyone. If you believed that, if you truly believed it, wouldn't you kill whoever stood between you and paradise?"
Tyrion's words speak to the clear themes of power at the heart of Game of Thrones, as Benioff and Weiss told the tale — namely, that every person is the hero of their own journey, even when they do something horrible. In that spirit, when we see Dany next, she meaningfully moves toward the Iron Throne in what's left of the Red Keep, the sacred seat of power she's coveted all along. It's portrayed as a joyous moment for the Dragon Queen, even if the dark themes playing beneath the scene tell us otherwise. When Jon Snow enters the throne room, Dany does not flinch from her actions. She doubles down on their necessity in the following exchange with Jon:
Daenerys: "We can't hide behind small mercies. The world we need won't be built by men loyal to the world we have."
Jon Snow: "The world we need is a world of mercy. It has to be."
Daenerys: "And it will be. It's not easy to see something that's never been before: a good world."
Jon Snow: "How do you know? How do you know it will be good?"
Daenerys: "Because I know what is good — and so do you."
Jon Snow: "I don't."
Daenerys: "You do. You've always known."
Jon Snow: "What about everyone else?" All the other people who think they know what's good?"
Daenerys: "They don't get to choose."
The conversation about Daenerys' intentions does not sit well with Jon, clearly. Daenerys Targaryen, she of so many names and titles, was always reliable for a memorable monologue. Her final one comes in the form of these words to Jon: "Be with me. Build the new world with me. This is our reason. It has been from the beginning, since you were a little boy with a bastard's name and I was a little girl who couldn't count to 20. We do it together. We break the wheel together."
An impressive speech, to be sure — but Jon Snow never impressed easily. He kisses Daenerys and offers these emotional words: "You are my queen, now and always." Then he stabs her in the heart. Daenerys Targaryen dies in the throne room, feet away from the Iron Throne that she's sought all her life, the same throne she barely had time to touch. Her final whereabouts are unknown, as Drogon the dragon appears, destroys the Iron Throne, scoops up his mother and flies away. Dany's final moments are a dark mirror of her first moments of life: spurred on by the murder of a royal Targaryen, forcing a swift rush to exile across the Narrow Sea — except this time, the exiled Targaryen won't be able to mount an Iron Throne comeback.
(Unless you want to fantasize about Drogon taking Daenerys to a red priest who can bring her back to life, as Melisandre did to Jon Snow and Thoros of Myr did to Beric Dondarrion; but keep those fantasies to yourself, please.)
"We break the wheel together." Such are the final words of Daenerys Targaryen. Emilia Clarke's final words on the Dragon Queen come in the form of an Instagram post, which she offered up hours before the series finale aired. Here are the star's closing remarks about her time as the Breaker of Chains and Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea:
"The mother of dragons chapter has taken up the whole of my adult life. This woman has taken up the whole of my heart. I've sweated in the blaze of dragon fire, shed many tears at those who left our family early, and wrung my brain dry trying to do Khaleesi and the masterful words, actions (and names) I was given, justice.
"Game of Thrones has shaped me as a woman, as an actor and as a human being. I just wish my darling dad was here now to see how far we've flown.
But to you, dear kind magical fans, I owe you so much thanks, for your steady gaze at what we've made and what I've done with a character that was already in the hearts of many before I slipped on the platinum wig of dreams. Without you there is no us.
"And now our watch has ended."

Killeen: Hungarian soldier learns English to join US ranks
April is English Language Month- a time to celebrate all those working hard to learn our lingo.
One student is giving us a glimpse into what it's like to master the language with the ultimate goal to serve her new country.
Meet Aniko Farkas.
"I was kind of scared to use English at all, so in the beginning, I really didn't pick up the phone," she says.
Born in rural East Hungary, she served in the Hungarian Armed Forces for nine years and rose to First Lieutenant.
She later deployed to Egypt where she met her American husband.
He is now an active duty soldier on Fort Hood, and for Farkas, that meant starting over in a foreign land.
"I couldn't just look in the past and cry about it, so I had to move forward, and I had to figure out what I'm going to do here," she says.
Farkas decided to crossover into the U.S. Army, which meant she had to learn the language plus the abbreviations.
After one semester, she tested out of Central Texas College's year and a half 'English as a Second Language' course.
She then enlisted in the Texas National Guard.
She's currently enrolled in the ROTC program at Texas A & M Central Texas and majoring in history.
"She's very self-motivated to do the best at everything she does," says military science instructor Bryan Evans.
"She's one of the top performers in the class," adds history professor Jerry Jones.
"There's no shortcut for that- it's hard work, but the work pays off."
That work ethic continues to carry over into other challenges, but Farkas still says learning English has been the biggest hurdle.
"Especially the text messages!" she smiles.
"In the beginning, I would really have to ask what is 'LOL'?"
Farkas plans to pursue military intelligence after graduating next year.
"Here, Google is your friend," she laughs.
But for now, she's taking it one word at a time.
Her skills also continue outside the classroom. She recently competed in and finished first in her category in New Mexico's Bataan Memorial Death March.
That requires carrying 40 pounds over 26.2 miles.
Next, she is hoping to represent her school at the Army Ten-Miler Marathon in October in Washington D.C.
Any interested sponsors should contact the A&M Central Texas's Advancement Office at 254-519-5744 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Ethiopian Jews threaten mass hunger strike if Israel removes funding that allows them to immigrate
Representatives for thousands of Ethiopian Jews announced Wednesday they will stage a mass hunger strike if Israel eliminates funding to allow them to join their families in Israel.
Hundreds met at a synagogue in Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa, to express concern that Israel's proposed budget removes the funding to help them immigrate to reunite with relatives. Many held photos of their loved ones.
Most of the nearly 8,000 Ethiopian Jews in the East African nation are said to have family members already in Israel. Some told The Associated Press they have been separated for well over a decade.
Activists say Israel's government in 2015 pledged to bring the remaining Ethiopian Jews to Israel. In 1991 with Ethiopia in civil war, Israel carried out the dramatic Operation Solomon, successfully airlifting out some 14,500 Ethiopian Jews in less than two days.
"All of us here in Ethiopia are in a foreign land and suffering from acute poverty and hunger," said Meles Sidisto, the community head of Ethiopian Jews in Addis Ababa. "Most of our family members are in Israel. Several of our brothers and sisters who took dangerous routes to meet their relatives in Israel have died during their journey."
He said Addis Ababa's community of Ethiopian Jews, which numbers around 800 households, will hold a hunger strike if the Israeli government doesn't hear their plea.
While Israeli law allows anyone with at least one Jewish grandparent to immigrate, the trouble here centers on the ancestors of the community remaining in Ethiopia, said Alisa Bodner, a spokeswoman for the group Struggle for Ethiopian Aliyah. The ancestors were forced to convert to Christianity about a century ago, while their descendants have returned to a "fully Jewish lifestyle."
The origin of the Ethiopian Jews is unclear but a popular legend says they descended from the son of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba.
In a letter addressed to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Ethiopian Jews in Addis Ababa said they want to immediately and without any preconditions go to Israel and join family members.
"We will never lose hope in going to Israel because we are winner people," the letter says. "Dear Mr. Prime Minister, we want you to make our wish a reality. We ask you this in the name of Our God, Israel's God."

Just north of Panalaron and West of Poblacion is the Barangay Labrador. I was visiting my cousin in Panalaron and she asked if I wanted to visit the local elementary school (but not Holy Rosary Academy, which I think is in Poblacion), and I agreed, and she hailed down one of the locals driving a motorbike and asked if he could take me to Labrador. My cousin had a motorbike she uses for work, but apparently I was too heavy for her bike to handle, so she had to ask a favor.
I wasn't sure if my cousin knew this person, but that is one of the many nice things about Hinunangnan, since it is so small, pretty much everyone knows each other, so it isn't too much to ask this person to give me a ride on his motorbike. Also, Labrador is really close, just a few minutes by motorbike from Panalaron by following Calle Nueva street into Labrador. I should note that at some parts you can tell when you are entering or exiting a barangay, but sometimes they sort of blend into each other without any real demarcation point that is visible or noticeable.
My cousin works at the Western District Office in Labrador. She tells me that there are only a handful of computers to go around for the 30 elementary schools and 4 high schools. Her office has one computer that is pretty modern, but that's it. I'm trying to think of ways to donate computers to Hinunangan but the computers in the US use a different voltage and may not work when they get to Hinunangan.
But still everyone here makes the best of what they have. And some of the stuff they have is really tasty – like a local delicacy called Guinata-an, which is made up of coconut milk and root crops like camote. After eating this delicious snack, I had the honor of visiting one of the sixth grade classes.
The first thing the kids asked me was, "Why are you here?" and I told them that my parents are from here and that I'm really proud to have roots in Hinunangan and that I want to learn more about this place. Then I asked them to teach me some Visaya, but no matter how I said the words I kept on getting it wrong which made the kids laugh. I believe they all understand English very well, but some speak English better than others.
Here is a picture of the 6th grade teacher, me, and my cousin.
I should note that even though Hinunangan is so different from the California, both share similar issues in education. Much like in California, truancy is an issue and in Hinunangan, for kids that drop out of traditional school, their only option is to pursue "alternative education." But unlike California, where there are General Educational Development (GED) programs or night schools with their own teachers, in Hinunangan there are only 2 teachers that specialize in alternative education. And of the thousand or so kids who need alternative education, only 50-75 make it to class. It's hard to say if this is due to lack of interest from the kids or shortage of resources – the 2 teachers have to drive out to the 40 barangays to teach alternative education, and when they teach, they may not even have blackboards. This understandably would make it difficult to really keep the kids interested, but the teachers are definitely trying to do their best with what they have, which is something I truly admire about Hinunangnons.
