As a result of the high cost of server downtime, many customers demand rapid service that is not possible without keeping critical backup components in close proximity to operating hardware.
Server spares kits provide a set of backup chassis electronics and cables that can be used to quickly replace failed parts and reduce expensive server downtime.
In a recent survey, service and availability were two of the top three server customer concerns.
The components included within server spares kits enable the possibility of cost effective same day service and added confidence in the high availability of servers built with Intel server building blocks.
Benefits of Spares Kits
- Offer Same Day Service - Spares Kits contain the custom chassis electronics and cables that you need to offer same day service to customers
- A Single Part - No more guess work on what parts to stock for replacement
- Save Money - The kit cost is approximately 30% less then a new chassis
- Service Multiple Servers - One kit can service up to 50 servers when combined with the Advanced Warranty Replacement (AWR) program
How to Use Spares Kits:
- Store the kit within a short distance of the servers that may require one or more of its components. One kit can service 1 to 50 servers in the same proximity.
- If an operating component fails, use a part from the kit to replace it.
- After using a part from the kit, order a replacement part through Intel's Advanced Warranty Replacement (AWR) program.
- After receiving a replacement part from Intel, add it to the spares kit so that the kit is fully stocked.

Gardening on a grand scale
This section of the page features an image gallery, so if you're using a screen reader you may wish to jump to the main content.
Whether it's keeping the lawn trim, the window-box watered or the weeds at bay, those with green fingers often enjoy pottering in the garden. But when you've got 10 miles of box hedging to cut and 20,000 plants to plant – then gardening takes on a whole new challenge!
10 miles of box hedging
June is a busy time for the gardeners at Ickworth and Wimpole, as the teams start the huge task of cutting their box hedges, which when combined together, stretch for miles.
We start this task when the risk of frost has gone, so that we don't risk scorching the tender new growths. We also avoid cutting during very hot and sunny weather too, due to plants being susceptible to sun scorch. When doing this at home you can avoid this by spraying the foliage with water before cutting, but being aware that this should not be done when using electric hedge cutters due to the risk of electrocution!
20,000 plants
The formal parterres at Blickling, Wimpole and Oxburgh all need to be planted up if they're going to delight our visitors during the summer. At Oxburgh, 6,500 plants will be going in, including Heliotrope, Tegetes, and 'Paul Crampel' Geraniums. A further 10,000 bedding plants will be added at Wimpole, including pelargonium and salvia farinasea. Then at Blickling where the parterre was planned, set out and planted by Norah Lindsey in the 1930's the planting scheme has remained the same ever since, full of hardy perennials and grasses such as Echinops and Achillea. However, the top terrace is planted with almost 1,000 penstemons in June, the colours mimicking the soft hues of the blue beds on the lower parterre.
As well as the formal parterres, the gardeners at Anglesey Abbey will be planting amongst other things, around 2,000 Dahlias in the main garden and the Nursery Garden, ready for their Dahlia festival in September. This will include the special Anglesey Abbey bedding Dahlias, Madamme Stappers (Red) and Ella Britton (Yellow).
And here's a top tip from Anglesey's Head Gardener Richard Todd…
"Plant your Dahlia plants in the garden in a plastic pot no less than 3 inches below soil level, they will be as good as if they were out of the pot, but the big benefit is that when it is time to lift Dahlias for storage in the autumn, you will have a pot full of tuber that is then very easy to store. Keep the tuber in the pot which should be turned on its side, kept frost free and then repotted or planted the following year, it will be the best tuber ever!"
And that doesn't even take into account the acres of lawn that needs cutting!

Define performance Do you mean the page load time for a single user, or the overall capacity/total concurrency? The two are very distinctly different – and not strictly related. It is entirely possible to have a fast store with limited capacity; or a slow store with lots of capacity. So when addressing either type of performance: Single user perceived page load time Total capacity/concurrency You have to tackle each independently with their own solutions – especially since each have their own bottlenecks. Lets make the assumption you are with a competent host that has already configured the server optimally for your store. Single user perceived page load time Is MySQL the bottleneckNo. Not directly. Its all about latency, in the majority of cases when testing page load time – only the caches will be hit. So the key here is to minimise latency.

Magento with Varnish
Is Varnish right for you? Varnish isn't the be-all and end-all of Magento performance. Its great to offset load from bots & window-shoppers – but it shouldn't be your first port of call to actually making your store faster. In fact, implementing Varnish should be the last performance modification to your store. Only drop it in once you are seeing the page load times Magento is capable of delivering without it (Eg. <600ms page load times). Your store still needs to be fast As Varnish still requires at least a single page load to prime the cache, it means your un-cached performance still needs to be very good. A vast majority of unique URLs (layered navigation hits, search queries etc.) will never really end up being served from Varnish unless either: a) Your TTLs are so high, that a search query from 4 days ago is still valid today b) … Continue reading
Magento MySQL Optimisation
We've got a fairly vast experience of MySQL clusters – and Percona have worked with us on a number of occasions when pushing the boundaries of complex configurations. Can Magento natively handle read-only slaves Magento is natively capable of splitting off reads/writes to different database servers (with the exception of a few broken releases, eg. EE 1.11) – allowing you to offset select load to an additional (or more) server(s); and forwarding all the update/write queries to a single master. When should I do it This is a more appropriate question. With dedicated Magento operating systems like MageStack – it is becoming more common for in-built server side advanced caching techniques to be available and easily used (such as Varnish front end caching and Redis back end caching). Historically, Magento has never been bound by MySQL – but rather PHP. But as Varnish and Full Page Caching (FPC) are used … Continue reading
Why Siege isn't an accurate test tool for Magento performance
We're getting pretty concerned at Sonassi HQ with the growing confusion surrounding transactions per second (TPS), requests per second (RPS) and concurrency by the community as a whole. Shamefully, I fear that we are guilty for bucking this trend. We created a monster, now its time to put it down 3 years ago, when we really started to get engaged in web hosting, we launched a little project called Mage Benchmark. The purpose was to have a portal where specialist Magento web hosts could put a brief description about themselves and volunteer a URL for a self-hosted demo store – that could be externally tested to give a viewpoint of uptime, page load time and concurrency support. This attracted both acclaim and sadly, criticism, amongst the community. Early on, before Mage Benchmark, Sonassi and Pro Contractors (two high performance, specialist Magento web hosts) had spurred a trend of performance testing … Continue reading
Why shouldn't I use Nginx for Magento
We are going to give you a loose analogy – a (Magento) fast-food restaurant. The cast The customer (at the drive-through), is the customer on your web store. The till operator (who sits on a chair and hands you the bag of food through the window – Web Server) The chef (who cooks the meals – PHP) The su-chef (who prepares the ingredients for the meals – server subsystem) The Challenge The average meal takes 2 minutes to prepare, 12 minutes to cook and 5 seconds to hand to the customer. Now, lets take the perception of Apache (an overweight, unfit, slow window attendant), the kitchen takes 14 minutes to make the meal, hands it to him – then he passes it to you. He is only passing 1 bag, every 14 minutes, a pretty easy job. So lets improve performance We want the business to run faster – so … Continue reading

ATLANTA — Jeff Teague and the Atlanta Hawks knew the New Jersey Nets wanted to get even after being routed earlier in the week.
Sure enough, the Nets played hard and smart, but not well enough to win.
"Guys were making shots for them," Teague said. "In the first game, they weren't making shots and made our defense look great. We played well, but I think we want to do a little better on the defensive end. I think everybody thought that, but we got a win, so we can't complain."
Teague scored 22 points, Joe Johnson added 21 and the Hawks won their third straight game to open the season, beating New Jersey 105-98 on Friday night.
Deron Williams finished with 23 points and rookie MarShon Brooks added 21 to lead the Nets, who have dropped three straight and fell to 1-3.
The Hawks, who earned a 36-point victory at New Jersey earlier this week, were in a tight game for the first time this season. Their biggest lead was nine early in the fourth quarter before Brooks' 17-footer made it 95-94 with 2:18 remaining.
"They're not all going to look that good," Atlanta forward Marvin Williams said. "Tonight was definitely a good test for us before we went out on the road because I bet every road game we play is going to be just like that. It's going to come down to the wire and we're going to be in the game, so it was definitely a good test for us."
After Williams' reverse layup cut the lead to 98-96, New Jersey scored just one more field goal, but Brooks made a big mistake after Johnson's 8-footer put the Hawks up 100-96 with 20.6 seconds remaining.
The Nets had no timeouts remaining as he was trying to make an inbound pass from the left sideline with his teammates covered, but Brooks signaled for a timeout.
"He got put in a bad situation," Nets coach Avery Johnson said. "We had no timeouts left, and it's on us as a coaching staff to do a better job of reminding him about that because he's one of our best guys at taking the ball out. But it's more than that, because Deron got double-teamed, and we should have had more guys coming at the ball."
Brooks felt badly for the mistake.
"Coach pulled me to the side and said don't worry about the decision I made," Brooks said. "Just continue to play hard."
After Brooks' mistake, Johnson hit the ensuing technical free throw and closed the game with four more free throws on Atlanta's final two possessions to end the scoring.
Mehmet Okur added 15 points and Kris Humphries and Sundiata Gaines each scored 10 for the Nets, who were coming off consecutive blowout losses to Atlanta and Orlando.
"It feels better," Deron Williams said. "We took a step in the right direction. We were able to battle tonight. That's a team that beat us by 30 at home two nights ago, so this is a much better effort."
He had a solid second half, scoring 19 points, handing out five assists and pulling down two rebounds — the kind of performance he needed after averaging 10 points, six turnovers and four assists in the previous two games.
"I'm not getting much out of pick-and-rolls because teams are just sitting on me," Deron Williams said. "I think 'I-sos' are going to be more effective until we figure out the pick-and-roll game. I was able to get something going and turn it around and hopefully get my confidence going."
Al Horford finished with 12 points for Atlanta. Marvin Williams added 11 points and six rebounds, and Zaza Pachulia had 11 points and a team-high eight rebounds.
Teague put Atlanta ahead 98-94 with a three-point play after driving for a layup past Humphries and hitting the ensuing free throw with 1:58 remaining, but some of his better work came during a five-minute stretch of the third quarter in which he scored eight points and handed out three assists.
"I think when I'm playing aggressive, that's when I'm at my best," Teague said. "Sometimes I'll miss guys on a couple of passes or things like that and they talk to me, but I just think that's how I have to play. When I'm being casual, I think that's when I'm not at my best and that hurts the team."
Notes: The Nets used the same lineup for the second straight game with Gaines and Okur starting in place of Anthony Morrow and Johan Petro. ...Atlanta begins a three-game, four-night road trip Saturday at Houston. ... The Nets visit Cleveland on Sunday and return home to face Indiana on Monday.

They started the last 2 seasons 6-0 but still didn't ,make it far in the playoffs. 3-0 is no huge accomplishment beating a weak team like New Jersey twice and another weak team like Washington. We'll see if they are still undefeated after they play Miami this week.

Hey Vomit State Univ.!!! (VSU)....The Hawks Beat MIAMI last night!!! You are such an idiot!!! You dont know anything about sports.

Sialia currucoides
C. Michael hogan PhD
November 27, 2009
Sialia currucoides is a chiefly insectivorous bird, whose habitat is limited by availability of suitable nesting sites in western North America. The species has experienced broad population decline in the last century, triggered by agricultural land conversion and timber management practices that zealously extract snags and that unnaturally supress periodic natural fires.
The species breeding range is in the western USA and Canada from Utah and northern Nevada northward to western Manitoba, southern Yukon and east-central Alaska. The wintering range extends from California west to the Black Hills of Montana and to eastern Kansas south to Texas, Baja California, southern Chihuahua and central Nuevo Leon. Sometimes the Mountain Bluebird migrates alone, but more often it moves in flocks of up to fifty birds, stopping frequently for feeding. In some high altitude habitats of southern Utah and northern Arizona such as locations in Zion National Park and the Kaibab National Forest, the Mountain Bluebird is a year around resident.
The breeding range of the Western Bluebird, S. mexicana, overlaps that of the Mountain Bluebird, but the two species are rarely found in the same location due to differential habitat preferences. S. currucoides arrives at its western breeding areas in February and March, typically in mixed flocks; (Herlugson) continent interior locations are typically populated for breeding in March and April, with males characteristically arriving earlier than females. Fall migratory flocks gather in October and November, and these flocks typically stay intact over the winter.
S. currucoides attains a length of 15 to 18 cm. Males manifest a deep sky blue plumage with paler blue breast and whitish stomach; females exhibit a duller gray-blue wing color with gray throat, crown and back. The female sports a white eye-ring. Both sexes manifest black eyes; the adult male exhibits a thin bill. Juveniles show spotted chests and unspotted backs, with blue in wings and tail feathers; otherwise juvenile plumage is similar to adults, albeit duller.
S. currucoides select a territory where food consumption, courtship, copulation and nesting take place. Nest building may occur in snags of Western Larch (Larix occidentalis), Whitebark Pine (Pinus albicaulis), or Ponderosa Pine (Pinus ponderosa); also used are rock crevices, woodpecker holes, abandoned nests of the American dipper (Cinclus mexicanus) and nest boxes. Territories may be as small as 10,000 square meters. Most commonly the male arrives first into a territory and selects a nesting site; the male then flits about its territory, calling to attract a female. After mating, the female constructs a nest from plant fiber, the male guarding the nest site
Typical clutch size is three to eight eggs, (Ehrlich et al.) which are incubated chiefly by the female for about two weeks. Hatchlings are blind, featherless and altricial. Natal down appears on the second day. Eyes begin to open by the fourth day. Mountain bluebird nestlings are fed by both parents. Chicks fledge at about 22 days, but are not totally independent of parental feedings until age six to seven weeks.
S. Currucoides is chiefly insectivorous, but consume fruit in the non-breeding season (Taverner) and when insects are less active (at dawn, dusk and in cold weather). Principal insects taken are grasshoppers, beetles, caterpillars, ants, weevils, bees and wasps. (Beal) Berries consumed include Juniper Mistletoe (Phoradendron juniperinum), Netleaf hackberry (Celtis reticulata), Saskatoon serviceberry (Amelanchier alnifolia), and Roundleaf buffaloberry (Shepherdia rotundifolia).
S. currucoides may perch or hover as they scan for insect prey; after a sighting the bird will drop to the surface for capturing its prey. In addition this species often forages in a hopping-gleaning mode, where the vegetative cover is relatively open.
S. currucoides prefers an ecotone between woodland and open area with sparse vegetation. (Pinkowski) The Mountain bluebird displays an affinity for burned woodland, likely due to an adaptation for using dead and burned snags for nesting sites.Such a predilection does not apply to areas that have been clearcut or burned so extensively that the landscape is devoid of snags.
Chief predators of S. currucoides are certain raptors, but some deaths occur during interspecific nest competition. The most common raptors involved are Accipiter cooperi, A. striatus, Buteo jamicensis and Circus cyaneus. The House Sparrow (Passer domesticus) is one of the main killers of the adult Mountain Bluebird in nest competition. Egg or nestling predation is mades by species such as the American Crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos) and the Deer Mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus). Nestlings have also been killed by infestations of ants.
The range of S. currucoides has shrunk since the early 1900s, at which time the distribution extended eastware into the Great Plains; moreover, the species numbers have declined in Alberta, Nevada, (DeSante and George). Idaho and Utah; the Nevada decline since 1973 reverses an earlier trend. There are many locations where firm population trendlines are simply not understood. Chief reasons for population decline have been agricultural land conversion, (Wittbecker) clearcutting and other forestry management practices that reduce the number of woodland snags; suppression of fire is a further reason for the species decline, since S. currucoides has adapted to periodic natural burn conditions. Salvage harvesting of a burned woodland is destructive to cavity nesting species, particularly woodpeckers and secondary cavity nesters such as S. currucoides.
One should note that S. currucoides is one of the birds which is actually most resilient to forest destruction, since it has a foraging strategy that aids its competition in open ground. With reduced numbers of snags for nesting, interspecific nest site competition has become a proximate cause of S. currucoides population decline; significant species engaging in this pressure are the Northern Flicker (Cloaptes auratus), Violet-green Swallow (Tachycinera thalassina) and Yellow-pine Chipmunk (Tamias amoenus); moreover, since introduction of the European Starling (Sturnus vulgaris), that invader has become an important contributor to decline of the Mountain Bluebird.
Agricultural land conversion should be avoided in order to preserve further S. currucoides population declines. For future western forest management consideration should be given to (a) avoidance of mass clearcutting where snags and dead trees are removed along with the principal harvest; (b) avoidance of salvage harvest of burned snags and logs; (c) reducing numbers of the invasive European Starling; (d) leaving old-growth forest of up to ten percent in any genral area of timber harvesting; (e) prohibiting firewood cutting or limiting such activity to snags of less than 35 cm in diameter; (f) providing birdboxes with 7.6 cm aperture as additional nesting sites, set in forest/clearing ecotones.

Welcome to HerbalMassageOil.com
Here, we will share information about herbal massage oils that help you to relax and be healthy.
Also, I suggest you check out our blog where we regularly put up new information about massage oils and oil massage.
Click here for our massage oil blog
And here some articles about massage oil for you to read and enjoy:
Massage Oil Is Good For Your Body, Mind And Skin
There are several differing types of massage you may use for feeling healthy and rejuvenated.
Massage oil acts as a lubricant for smoother movement of hands on skin.
This oil doesn't serve just this purpose. Oil has better absorbency than any cream, a massage helps it penetrate further into the skin. Oils are known to contain adequate nourishment, depending on which one you select. This nourishment can replenish lost nourishment from skin. After a massage you will your skin getting more soft and pliable.
These are also advantageous to peel, relieve aches and pains together with already mentioned positive results. You don't need to go to a massage parlor continually, a number of these massages can be done at home.
you'll find some of the wounds being recovered after a good massage. Giant wounds should be looked after medically. Massage followed with a sauna will give you a positive health effect.
Sauna's warm environment will help the skin to soak up oil better. This would suggest better results of massage and sauna too. It isn't compulsory to use oil before sauna. When the oil has been soaked up by skin, its work has been done and should be removed from skin. This is often done simply by steam within sauna. Also guarantee you take a good bath after massage and sauna.
Massage Oil
Massage oil is a fine addition to any massage experience.
the employment of massage oil isn't a new concept. Today, discomfort alleviation is one reason for using massage oil. Both these had the smallest amount of processing and will last longest. Stop them from spoiling by keeping them in a cool place and adding three hundred IUs of vitamin E per pint of oil monthly.
Additionally, concentrated oils, or oils that are made from numerous plants, roots, or seeds ) can be added. Seek the help of a pro to recommend on a good mixture.
Some oils to make a choice from for massage therapy include:. * Avocado oil This is a heavy oil best watered down at a rate of ten percent in a lighter oil. * Borage oil Good for eczema and psoriasis, it penetrates, regenerates, and excites. * Castor oil A thick sticky oil good for drawing out poisons and to be used on scar tissue. * Coconut oil A thick, heavy oil that should be heated before use. * Grapeseed oil Non-allergenic and good for every kind of skin. * Jojoba oil A penetrating, anti-bacterial oil for eczema and acne. * Kukui nut oil Anti-bacterial, anti-oxidant, anti inflammatory that's light and has a slight warming effect.
Different skin varieties will perform better with differing types of oil. As such, it'll be a smart idea to experiment with different kinds for massage care. Also, some may personally like the smell or the aftermath of one massage oil to another. The selection of massage oils is pretty wide ; so there's certain to be a preferential one for almost anyone.
Giving an Oil Hair Massage
Start a routine of a weekly oil hair massage and you may see a great improvement in how your hair feels and looks.
Oil Hair massage revitalizes your hair, boosts blood circulation to the scalp so helping to remove dead skin. Employ a base of olive, sunflower, coconut, almond or lavender oil. Try different mixes to find what you are feeling is best for your scalp and also which appeals most to your sense of smell.
Then add a little quantity of other oils for therapeutic value. Rosemary oil is advantageous for dandruff. Sandal brings a sense of freshness to the scalp.
the percentage of base oil to healing oil should be roughly 10:1. Warm the oil barely by putting the oil container in a bowl of warm to hot water. As a substitute for the all oil mixes, you may also mix your base oil with honey at a proportion of 3:1 or 3:2. Another choice is to take a ripe, peeled avocado, add a spoon of honey and a little oil and mix into a paste. * Massage your scalp with your fingertips covered in your oil mix. * Continue to massage the hair for at least 10 mins, longer is better. * When the massage is complete, wrap a warm towel around your scalp, covering all of the hair, and leave for thirty mins. Give yourself an oil hair massage every week and you may see your hair grow strong, glossy, healthy and more controllable.
It also lubricates and revitalizes the scalp.
Experiment with some of the hair oil massage recipes supplied here to find which works best for you.
Massage Oil, Cream or Lotion?
the 1st issue of choice is the preference of the customer. Some folk really like lotions because they're not making the body feel oily.
When I would like to do deeper work, oils work better for me. When I do deep tissue massage, I use less oil, because I will be able to use more grip and get down into deeper layers of tissue.
How does one decide on how much massage oil to use?
it is irrelevant if it is massage oil, lotion, or cream. The number of the substance you use has an impact. Heaps of massage oil helps with the long, sleek, even strokes. What about massage creams? When is it important to use them? Regularly I'm going to use a massage cream on a customer who's had an injury or muscle cramps. Creams contain ingredients that are especially exciting for an area of healing. What special massage creams help the relief of muscle agony or spasms? Banner Treatment has a Healing Herbal Muscle Calm cream that is an element of their organic skin-care creams. This is a muscle fixing lotion with oils and Capsicum, which is the heat-producing ingredient. What about other kinds of creams are you able to use in massage therapy? They have different textures, and I find they're employed well. I'm careful to choose a cream when I know it'll work fine for that particular individual and their skin type.
Another cream I like is an all-purpose cream I use in a selection of massage scenarios : Relaxing Touch Versa Cream. It is greasy enough that I am not getting stuck. It allows for a glide that gives more fluidity. When I need to I am able to go deeper with the Relaxing Touch massage cream. What sorts of massage systems would be improved with the employ a massage lotion? Massage lotions are a useful gizmo to be used in deep tissue massage. Interestingly enough, some of the lotions are better than the creams. They have an inclination to be soaked up easier and are less slippery than creams. When the lotion is soaked up it leaves a touch more grab for deeper massage work.
So, many massage doctors will choose a good lotion over a cream for deep tissue work, if they don't use oil for this. I do wish to use special skin products just for feet when I'm employed on a customer's feet. Generally natural and organic skincare products are made to work best on the body, but it needs a specially made cream to work best on the feet. I select foot cream with a peppermint or tea tree oil smell. I recommend you try new things, and see what works best for you and your customer base.

Member of papal household killed in automobile accident
Catholic World News - November 24, 2010
A member of Pope Benedict's personal household was killed in a traffic accident that took place on Tuesday night, November 23.
Manuela Camagni, one of the four women of the Memores Domini community who maintained the papal apartments in the apostolic palace, was fatally injured in a crash that occurred as she returned from a dinner with friends. She died on Wednesday morning.
In his new book Light of the World, Pope Benedict describes the everyday life of the papal household, in which he includes his secretaries and the women of Memores Domini:
We celebrate Christmas together, listen to the holiday music, and exchange gifts. The feast days of our patron saints are celebrated, and occasionally we also sing Evening Prayer together. So we celebrate feasts together. And then, besides our common meals, there is above all Holy Mass in common in the morning. That is an especially important moment in which we are all with each other in a particularly intense way in the light of the Lord.

DOJ thrashes MACCI appeal-A A +A
Tuesday, March 25, 2014
ANGELES CITY -- The Department of Justice (DOJ) has dismissed the case filed by the Metro Angeles Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Inc. (MACCII) against the legality of the city's tax ordinance here.
The decision also cleared Mayor Edgardo Pamintuan and members of the Sangguniang Panlungsod.
In an eight-page decision issued on February 28, the DOJ dismissed the petition of MACCII questioning the constitutionality, validity and legality of Tax Ordinance No. 63-S. 20013 (An Ordinance Approving the Schedule of Fair Market Values and Assessment Levels of Real Estate Properties Located in the City of Angeles).
The decision signed by Justice Secretary Leila De Lima junked the claims of MACCI because they were "bereft of evidence."
MACCI has appealed to the DOJ late December 2013 against the ordinance alleging that the tax measure was enacted "without due process and that it contravened the fundamental principles of real estate taxation."
The case was filed by MACCI president Mario Lazatin and was represented by lawyer Elfren Hipolito Jr.
MACCI claimed, among other points, that no public hearings were held and that the concerned parties have not been notified on the conduct of public hearings.
However, the DOJ ruling noted that the tax ordinance has complied with the public hearing, publication and posting requirements under the law.
Pamintuan hailed the dismissal of the case after receiving a copy of the DOJ resolution on Monday.
"We are happy that the DOJ took cognizance of the legality of the RPT (real property tax) measure. In fact, it has been the national government, specifically the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) and the Department of Finance (DOF), which have been pressing us to adjust our property taxes, which have not been adjusted since 1995," Pamintuan said.
He said the big land and property owners have "cashed in big" on the appreciation or property values and the ensuing construction boom for almost two decades, after a brief period of anxiety immediately after the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo.
Pamintuan stressed that "there is no better time to revise the schedule of fair market values (SFMV) but today."
"It is about time that the big property owners give what is due to government to enable us to implement programs particularly for the less privileged who do not own any property," the mayor said.
According to the Local Government Code, local governments should review and adjust their real property taxes every three years. But in the case of Angeles City, the last RPT adjustment was made in 1995 or 18 years ago.
Pamintuan pointed out that the property taxes have stagnated in Angeles City "probably because the local government has been at the hands of big landowners for almost two decades."

Record number of students involved in NNU's summer research
This summer, NNU has a record number of undergraduate students participating in the research program. There are 46 students working on projects with ten faculty members that will culminate in presenting the results at a major research conference. Most students are working on a ten-week, full-time project related to their professor's research program. Others are participating in the two-week Summer Scholars program.
Five of the professors and their students are doing work funded by a federal grant from the Idaho IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence (INBRE) to support biomedical research.
Dr. Jennifer Chase
• Dr. Chase has five students who are using in vitro assays on recombinant human enzymes as well as computational models to quantify the impact of alcohol on vitamin A processing pathways. Disruption of these pathways by alcohol, through mechanisms that have not been fully elucidated, are implicated in alcoholic diseases such as cancer and fetal alcohol effects.
Dr. Ron Strohmeyer
• Dr. Strohmeyer is studying the role of brain inflammation in Alzheimer's disease. He has three students in his lab using real-time PCR to assess levels of C/EBP transcription factors thought to be related to brain inflammation. Dr. Strohmeyer is also supervising 16 students in NNU's two-week Summer Scholars Program in which students clone sequences from a plant gene and publish the results in a national database.
Dr. Jamee Nixon
• Dr. Nixon has three students studying the innate immune response of human monoctytes to sub-inhibitory dose antibiotic treated MRSA and Collagen XI expression in human mast cells.
Dr. Xueyi Wang
• Dr. Wang has a student working in bioinformatics, using machine learning to develop algorithms for data mining text articles, specifically biomedical research literature.
Dr. Barry Myers
• Dr. Myers also has a student working in bioinformatics, investigating ALU and LINE1 contribution to mutations in human chromosomes.
Other faculty members have students doing research in physics, engineering, chemistry, and ecology.
Dr. Duke Bulanon
• Dr. Bulanon works on developing robotics for agricultural work. He has 2 students working on software for a vision system that can detect plants with disease and other stress.
Dr. Dan Lawrence
• Dr. Lawrence has been working with the NASA RockSat program. He has two students designing and building sensors for rocket payloads that will be launched in NASA sounding rockets 75 miles above the atmosphere.
Dr. Jerry Harris
• Dr. Harris has three students researching Synthesis of zinc-oxide compounds for use in semi-conductor applications such as construction of solar cells.
Dr. Dan Nogales
• Dr. Nogales has three students working on a project to synthesize large container molecules that can, reversibly, package smaller molecules for purposes such as delivering drugs to particular places in the body.
Dr. John Cossel
• Dr. Cossel is taking two students to Costa Rica to study the disease ecology of a pathogenic fungus that can kill frogs that live in the canopy of the rain forest. He also has two projects surveying reptile populations. He will take eight students to a two-week "Salamander Camp" to catalogue the population of giant salamanders in the Salmon River. He also has three students working on another inventory of reptiles in southern Idaho.

Should the new movie "Gods Of Egypt feature an all white cast?
Australian filmmaker Alex Proyas announced his final casting choice for his upcoming epic, "The Gods of Egypt". He is casting the Danish actor "Nikolaj Coster-Waldau" (famed for his works on the Game of Thrones) as the Egyptian god Ra. Some may look at this and say so what, but if you look a little deeper there is a big problem with the selection of the whole cast. This film is based on ancient Africa. The race of the Ancient Egyptians has long been debated and I guess you can say that its a matter of opinion. Lets stop though and just think about this for a minute. We are still talking about Africa and to say that the majority of people that live in Africa are not black would just be a plain lie. I feel this film should have a much larger black cast and thousands of other people feel that same way I do. There was a petition made against this film and I support it 100 percent. We can't allow people to distort African history any longer. You can view the petition by using this link.

Sure, everybody knows Paris. People swoon when you say Paris. But even the French Riviera – which in my experience is the thing that people know the most after Paris – is not nearly as touristed as the many cities in Italy that people feel they "must see" on their first trip to the country.
You say Normandy beaches, and people are like, "Oh, right."
Or the castles of the Loire Valley – "I've heard of those."
But I'm constantly shocked that people don't know this exists, for example, let alone that it's an easy overnight trip from Paris:
It's Mont Saint-Michel, and JUST LOOK AT IT. Why is every person who visits Paris for even one week not hightailing it to this place? (Don't get me wrong, it's popular; but people who think nothing of steamrolling through RomeFlorenceVenice somehow think it's a pain in the ass to go see that big pile of fabulous? Come on, people.)
