Never, ever, ever judge a book by its cover.
Never, ever, ever judge a book by its cover. I remember a few years back. I was working for someone in my capacity as an assistant to the General Manager and in effect. A Sales Manager of sorts in a Mobile Phone shop. I helped the setup the store from startup to operations.
One day while inside the shop in Shangri-La Plaza along EDSA, Mandaluyong, a man in tattered clothes came in. His white shirt tee-shirt was almost gray and had lots of holes in it and he smelt of fish. I assumed he was one of those people who hand delivered fish in those big metal containers to the market. Anyway, most of my staff were wary because of how the man looked and smelt like and decided to ignore the man. Somehow, the man's appearance did not bother me at all.
As he was looking over the display of mobile phones, I approached him and asked how I could help him. To which he replied, "How much are these kinds of phones". he was pointing to our high-end (during the late 90's Motorola flip phones, even gray units were priced at more than P30,000) phones.
I was amused at the person but nevertheless entertained him by showing him each and every phone on the display and demonstrating the features of each one. One particular phone, our most expensive Motorola Micro-Tac (flip-phone) that I have not yet shown him, seemed to take his interest and was checking it out so intently. He suddenly blurted out and asked me as to how much that particular one was. I, of course, told him the price and showed him the whole package that came with the phone.
The man stood silent for a while as if contemplating on the phone while giving it a thorough look-see. Then with a small sigh and a smile on his face, he put his hand in his pocket and looking as if he was mentally counting something. With this, he brought out a very thick roll of money in Philippine Pesos. He unrolled it. And asked me the price again of the mobile phone and counted his money all in P50's, P100's and P500's with which he paid for the phone. (If I am not mistaken, at that time the P 1,000 bill was already in circulation but very few people had a use for it at the time.)
At this point in time, I smiled at my staff and they began to approach me. And started assisting man. They were astonished by the man's decision to purchase the highest priced unit we had and in cash. Most people that came in and purchased high-end phones then would purchase using their cards. But no, this man paid in cash, his hard earned money.
Never, ever, ever judge a book by its cover.
As the "fish" man happily left with his brand new, high-end, flip-phone. He never gave too much thought to the attention or the lack of it, by my staff, towards him. I reminded them that it just goes to show how we can never really expect the unexpected. That we should always face every person with equality and treat them all with the same respect.

New MRI Techniques Help Predict Neuro Outcomes
By MedImaging International staff writersResearchers are using advanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) techniques to help predict the neurological outcomes of patients that survive a cardiac arrest.
Posted on 23 Oct 2017
Posted on 23 Oct 2017
The researchers used MRI-Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) and resting-state functional MRI (fMRI) to show the large-scale functional integration, or connectome, of the brain.
The study included 46 patients who had suffered a cardiac arrest, and were in a coma, and was published online in the October 2017 issue of the journal Radiology by researchers from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine (Baltimore, MD).
The researchers assessed the functional connectivity of the brain of the patients and found that brain connectivity measurements could predict the long-term recovery potential of patients with brain damage related to a cardiac arrest they had experienced. The researchers concluded that by carrying out MRI-based measurements of the functional connections in the brain they could better predict long-term recovery for those patients who suffered from a neurological disability following a cardiac arrest. The results also showed that connectivity measures could provide early markers of long-term recovery potential in such patients.
Lead author of the study, Robert D. Stevens, MD, said, "This is game-changing information about what happens in the brains of people who suffer cardiac arrest. We realize that network architectures can be selectively disrupted in this setting. Anti-correlation was preserved in patients who recovered and abolished in those who did not. Relative preservation of this anti-correlation was the most robust signal of a favorable outcome. Connectome studies have the potential to change not only outcome prediction, but to guide treatment as well."

Germany was home to the first gay rights movement in the late 1800s and was well-known as a bastion of sexual liberalism during the Weimar Republic. But since World War II, it has been slower than many other European countries to recognize LGBT+ rights. In the last two decades, the LGBT+ movement has gained momentum that is arguably unprecedented in speed and suddenness when compared to other human rights movements. Its impact is not consistent across Europe though. How can the differences in LGBT+ rights and recognition be explained?
Location: Doelenzaal, University Library, Singel 425
Dr. Phillip Ayoub investigates the recent history of this transnational movement in Europe, as well as backlashes to it. Focusing on the diffusion of the norms the movement champions, he examines the overarching question of why the trajectories of socio-legal recognition for LGBT+ minorities are so different across states. He uses the German case to show how activists mobilize horizontally and vertically to leverage change in the European polity.
About the speaker
Phillip M. Ayoub is Associate Professor of Diplomacy and World Affairs at Occidental College in Los Angeles. He is the author of When States Come Out: Europe's Sexual Minorities and the Politics of Visibility (Cambridge University Press, 2016) and his articles have appeared in Comparative Political Studies, the European Journal of International Relations, Political Research Quarterly, Mobilization, the European Political Science Review, the Journal of Human Rights, Social Politics and Social Movement Studies, among others.
Krijn Thijs (moderator) is senior staff member at the Duitsland Instituut Amsterdam at the University of Amsterdam. He obtained his PhD from the Free University Amsterdam. In his dissertation, he compared Berlin narratives and the city's anniversary celebrations in the Third Reich, the DDR and West-Berlin, which was awarded a Study Prize of the Stiftung Praemium Erasmianum. He has published widely about the contemporary history of Berlin and Germany, with an emphasis on political cultures, collective memories and professional history writing in the twentieth century. Currently, he contributes to the Berlin exhibition in the future Humboldt Forum.

Delicious Orange Vegetable Smoothie Recipe
Do you need to revive your body after this long, dry winter? Treat yourself to a delicious smoothie made with orange vegetables and fruits and a bit of ginger. It only has a few ingredients so you'll be drinking this thick, delectable juice in no time.
Here's what you'll need for this smoothie recipe:
- 1 orange
- 1/2 cup carrots
- 1/2 orange bell pepper
- 1/2 sweet potato, cooked
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger powder
Begin by removing the core of the pepper and chopping it into large slices. You'll only need about half of it, so set the rest aside for dinner.
Place the peppers inside of a blender (or a Magic Bullet, in my case) along with a handful of baby carrots, half of a cooked sweet potato and the ginger. Then slice up your orange and squeeze the juice from each section into the blender. Close it up and blend on medium or high until thoroughly combined.
The resulting smoothie will be thick and delicious, jam packed with all kinds of nutrients and antioxidants. The vitamin C from the orange will help boost your immune system, while the sweet potatoes contain iron, magnesium, vitamin D and of course lots of fiber. Cheers!

MANILA • Five months after his landslide election victory, Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte cannot stop campaigning. Yet, rather than courting voters who put him into office, he is now giving out handguns and G-Shock watches to soldiers.
He has given almost half his public addresses as President to a military audience - far more than his predecessors. The 71-year- old leader's refreshed stump speech includes promises to double troop salaries, improve healthcare for soldiers and secure modern equipment.
"Clearly he is trying to curry favour," said Mr Joseph Franco, a research fellow at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore who previously worked for the chief of staff of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP). "Duterte is aware that toying with the AFP would be a very bad idea."
Mr Duterte's outreach to the military is drawing attention in a country where coup rumours come as regularly as monsoon rains, with political opponents warning of the risk of discontent in an army with deep-rooted links to the main security ally, the United States.
Ties between the nation's civilian and military leaders, long a source of conflict, are key to prolonging a period of political stability that has made the Philippines one of Asia's fastest- growing economies.
Military disaffection with Duterte will show if he orders soldiers to participate in the drug war, sharing the blame for extra-judicial killings with the police. The military will also baulk at a sudden shift towards China without due consultation and institutional acceptance.
'' MR SEGUNDO ROMERO, professorial lecturer at the Ateneo de Manila University.
One senator warning of a military backlash against Mr Duterte is his staunch critic Antonio Trillanes, who was jailed for more than seven years for his involvement as a naval officer in several attempted coups against then President Gloria Arroyo.
"The officer corps are quite wary of the statements of President Duterte - they are not happy with the direction he is taking," Mr Trillanes said.
Still, there are no signs of the kind of instability that led to a popular uprising that toppled then President Joseph Estrada in 2001.
Last week, S&P Global Ratings affirmed a stable outlook on the country's BBB rating, the second- lowest investment grade, even as it noted that the "predictability of policymaking" has diminished under Mr Duterte.
The President is not worried about any attempts to remove him from office, in part due to his high popularity rating, National Security Adviser Hermogenes Esperon has said in an interview.
A poll in July - the latest one available - showed he enjoyed the trust of 91 per cent of Filipinos.
Mr Esperon confirmed that the administration has received reports of plots to oust Mr Duterte, but the groups mentioned do not have the capability to topple the government, he said.
"If indeed we prove that there is a destabilisation attempt, in due time, we will come up with a statement," Mr Esperon said. "In my view, I don't think there is any plot from the military."
The armed forces appreciate President Duterte's outreach and have not seen any signs of unease among senior officers, spokesman Restituto Padilla said. The brigadier-general said: "We feel honoured that he prioritised visiting our men and installations."
Mr Duterte built an important bridge to the military establishment with the July appointment of former president and army chief Fidel Ramos as special envoy in the country's South China Sea dispute with China.
Mr Ramos, 88, played a crucial role in halting coup attempts against Mrs Arroyo and former president Corazon Aquino.
Yet, despite Mr Ramos' pedigree, his influence as a retired general is "persuasive at best because he had become a politician and he is not in active command", said Mr Segundo Romero, professorial lecturer at the Ateneo de Manila University who used to help formulate defence policies for the government.
"Military disaffection with Duterte will show if he orders soldiers to participate in the drug war, sharing the blame for extra- judicial killings with the police," Mr Romero said.
"The military will also baulk at a sudden shift towards China without due consultation and institutional acceptance."

I messed up.
I hate it when I do this, it's embarrassing, I feel all sorts of shame and guilt, then there's the time recovering and the effort it takes in building everything back…
BUT…by all accounts, it's pretty common. A lot of people throw away everything they have, because of a girl, a bad business deal, a roulette table (not me), a drinking habit…or any number of reasons.
It seems the vast majority of people build, then fall…and even more of them repeat the scenario over and over again.
Ever wondered why you haven't got millions in the bank?
But it is a choice.
I learned about this choice the hard way…and when everything went away, I went to hell 'n' back discovering it.
It was never taught to me. Heck, my parents, even my friends parents couldn't keep it together.
So how the hell was I supposed to.
No, it's not your fault either.
But it is a choice.
And it takes a different one to build and build and build and continue building without burning the lot.
And the choice you must make is stewardship.
Over life, over health, over wealth, over self…
Because you can lose the lot in the different areas of life…it doesn't have to happen all at once, yet it can and often does.
But to stop that, you must protect, maintain and improve…and that takes constant and never-ending stewardship.
I wish I'd been taught this word in school instead of 'biology', lot of fucking good that one did. (or the hundreds of others that haven't served me to date)
Why aren't the important things taught in school… I mean the really important things… It's a post for another day, but it's crazy.
So why stewardship…?
Why protection…?
Why Maintenance…?
And why improvement…?
It's simple.
Because as the saying goes…"If you aren't growing, you're dying."
I talk about this a lot with my Premium Mentoring clients…
I am constantly reminding them about stewardship (so as they don't repeat lessons of destruction) and the value of measuring protection, maintenance and improvement.
It's one of the hardest lessons you'll learn and an even harder 'practise' to continue.
Clients constantly come to me with new ideas, tangents and concepts that, in the moment, seem 'foolproof', yet are simply distractions to stewardship.
My response is always the same…
I normally summarise what they're working on now, then ask 2 simple questions.
"Is this complete and working effectively as possible…?"
Followed by…
"So why start from scratch…?"
And that's the real problem with stewardship. Continuing forward is boring, where as building something new is exciting…
Excitement is the actual killer of bright futures. Big futures.
Finding your one clear path, staying the course, keeping score and being patient is boring…yet very beneficial done right.
How's your Stewardship…?
Are you continually growing…?
Are you protecting your growth…?
Are you maintaining your growth…?
And are you actually growing your growth…?
After my recovery, I made the choice of stewardship, and it's part of what I mentor clients on.
It's not sexy…
There's nothing shiny…
But there are results. Lots of them. And that's what's exciting.
If you're wondering how to come back, how to build, or simply what your next step is…
Let's talk, or you can check some of those results by clicking here.
I'd better go do something exciting.
Thanks for reading…

PS4 vs Xbox One: We know Microsoft are smart people, says Yoshida
Sony Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida has shared his thoughts on the impending showdown between PlayStation 4 and Xbox One for dominance over the holiday season. During the chat he recognised that Microsoft is clearly smart, and has done well to keep up with Sony's efforts.
Speaking with GI.biz, Yoshida was asked to reflect on Microsoft's many policy u-turns. He replied, "We know they're very smart people. It's great that they were able to quickly realise that some of the things they were doing were not popular, and were able to make really quick decisions to change some of those things – even things that their engineering group must have spent a lot of time preparing before the launch.
"It must have been a very tough time for them. That shows how smart they are, and it shows their dedication to making Xbox One successful. We never took them lightly. Especially in the States, we are the challenger – we're trying to compete with them. Some of the messaging that they stumbled on just gave us more chances to compete with them in the States.
"Other markets are very different – in Europe, we have a larger market share and in Japan, we have a much longer history of being here. Being consistent and persistent helps; the legacy and people's associations with the brand, their memories of having a great time before."
Yoshida then commented on the long-standing executives at Sony, many of which have worked together on multiple PlayStation launches. That solidity has helped see them through, he suggested. "Something that can be a weakness but can be a very strong asset for the PlayStation team is the management team that we have," he continued. "Many of us in key positions have gone through all the transitions from the launch of PS1.
"Andrew House, Jack Tretton, myself and many of the executives were all there at the beginning. We've gone through great times and pretty difficult times together. I've never worked for another company, so I can just imagine, but we have a very efficient way of discussing issues and being open and honest. We make quick decisions when necessary, and that's something that's very fresh to me.
"Now, because we work closely with Sony, many people are actually joining SCE headquarters from Sony. The number of smart people on the Sony electronics side is amazing – but all of them who join SCE say that they are amazed by how focused we are on the issues. We have meetings where we just jump onto the issues, make decisions and move on. That's very different from the Sony side, according to them.
"That history of us working through all the PlayStations of the last 20 years together – including Mark Cerny, who's not a Sony person but has always worked together with us – really helps us, I think, whether we're crafting messages or making sure that everyone knows what other parts of PlayStation are doing."
What do you think of Sony's stable as we edge closer to the next-gen launch days? Is Sony in a good position? Let us know what you think below.

Through its open studio and mentorship scheme, The House of Peroni Fashion Studio is giving a new generation of emerging designers the skills and mentorship to reach their full potential. See inside their worlds in the exclusive Vogue video, below.
A new generation of designers is growing increasingly conscious of how to build brands, and Peroni is helping them. The House of Peroni Fashion Studio, its one-of-a-kind industry incubator initiative, is educating and empowering eight emerging creatives on core issues, through its fully-equipped open studio and mentorship scheme.
Over the nine-month programme at The House of Peroni Fashion Studio, the designers will create pieces to present in an exhibition space during February 2019's London Fashion Week. Unparalleled guidance and access to inspiring talks from Peroni's Creative Council of industry-renowned experts, including Jonathan Saunders, Anna Orsini, Pandora Sykes, Isabella Burley and Alexander Fury, will also be available. From marketing to social media, each expert will bring a unique skillset to The House of Peroni Fashion Studio and give the up-and-coming talent a head-start in their careers.
"It's super-important for a company like Peroni to support designers," Rose Danford-Phillips tells Vogue in an exclusive video exploring the designers' influences and ambitions. "The House of Peroni Fashion Studio provides us with a studio and amazing mentorship – both of these things are invaluable."
At the heart of each brand's evolution is ensuring long-term growth and, throughout the whole creative process at The House of Peroni Fashion Studio, each designer has stopped to consider how they can be mindful on their journey and look to be more sustainable. From Danford-Phillips's pledge to try to not use polyester to Stacey Wall's mission to trace all raw materials back to the source, Pelin Isildak's commitment not to waste leather and Kyle Lo Monaco's ambition to create new fabrics using technology, each designer touches on the ethics that are important to them as emerging designers.
"We're at the beginning of this sustainable movement and it's about an education process," Lo Monaco shares with Vogue. "As designers we are the future of fashion, so if we start this now, this will become epidemic."
Indeed, Pelin Isildak's remark, "I believe in collaboration more than anything," sums up the ambition behind The House of Peroni: To nurture the next generation and give them the confidence to ask questions and work together to reach their full potential.
Learn more about the designers' stories in the video, above, and look out for their work at The House of Peroni Fashion Studio during London Fashion Week in February 2019. For more information on the programme, visit TheHouseofPeroni.com
