How To Give Your Cat a Pill
1. Grasp cat firmly in your arms. Cradle its head on your elbows, just as if you were giving a baby a bottle. Coo confidently, "That's a nice kitty." Drop pill into its mouth. 2. Retrieve cat from top of lamp and pill from under sofa. 3. Follow same procedure as in 1, but hold cat's front paws down with left hand and back paws down with elbow of right arm. Poke pill into its mouth with right forefinger. 4. Retrieve cat from under bed. Get new pill from bottle. (Resist impulse to get new cat.) 5. Again proceed as in 1, except when you have cat firmly cradled in bottle-feeding position, sit down on edge of chair, fold your torso over cat, bring your right hand over your left elbow, open cat's mouth by lifting the upper jaw and pop the pill in – quickly. Since your head is down by your knees, you won't be able to see what you're doing. That's just as well. 6. Leave cat hanging on drapes. Leave pill in your hair. 7. If you're a woman, have a good cry. If you're a man, have a good cry. 8. Now pull yourself together. Who's the boss here, anyway? Retrieve cat and pill. Assuming position 1, say sternly, "Who's the boss here, anyway?" Open cat's mouth, take pill and… Ooooops! 9. This isn't working, is it? Collapse and think. Aha! Those flashing claws are causing the chaos. 10. Crawl to linen closet. Drag back large beach towel. Spread towel on floor. 11. Retrieve cat from kitchen counter and pill from potted plant. 12. Spread cat on towel near one end with its head over long edge. 13. Flatten cat's front and back legs over its stomach. (Resist impulse to flatten cat.) 14. Roll cat in towel. Work fast; time and tabbies wait for no man – or woman. 15. Resume position 1. Rotate your left hand to cat's head. Press its mouth at the jaw hinges like opening the petals of a snapdragon. 16. Drop pill into cat's mouth and poke gently. Voila! It's done. 17. Vacuum up loose fur (cat's). Apply bandages to wounds (yours). 18. Take two aspirins and lie down.

The Category Cotswold is a subset of Gloucestershire. Browse through the Brief Records in the Category or look at the broader Category to find a List of the Titles of all the Entities associated with Cotswold which have so far been described in this Directory. Clicking on a Title will link you to the Entity's Full Record.
The following Cotswold Entities do NOT (currently) have Records in 'Open Paths and Trails'. Here, clicking on a Title of interest should link you to a relevant external Website (or Facebook Page):
- Batsford Arboretum & Garden Centre
'Founded in 1993 and is owned and operated by husband and wife team Andrew and Elizabeth Guppy. The company remains the leading walking and hiking specialist in the Cotswolds. Their knowledge of the area and its footpaths, tracks and byways is unrivalled - and much imitated.'
'There are many kilometres of picturesque and peaceful footpaths around the Cotswold Water Park, with the added bonus of it all being very flat!'
'Walking in the Cotswolds provides a wealth of choices with gentle strolls, hilly hikes and a variety of circular walks including many level, stile-free walks for wheelchairs and easy access.'
Oxfordshire Cotswolds Walks [West Oxfordshire District Council]
Fairford, a lively, small market town in Gloucestershire (population C5,000), welcomes visitors, especially walkers. Our walks leaflets will help you appreciate the local area and its history. There's something for everyone!
'Within the 17 miles of accessible paths and five national collections, children become young adventurers, adults connect with trees through guided walks, workshops, self-led trails or volunteering.'
'Walks on Wheels is a series of fifteen short routes throughout the Cotswolds AONB that can be explored by users of wheelchairs, power scooters and children's buggies.' ALERT Unfortunately, these Walks no longer seem accessible via the AONB Website. So I have replaced the Link with one to Oxfordshire County Council.
'As part of 2012's Diamond Jubilee celebrations, our Voluntary Wardens have created a brand new series of "miles without stiles" walking routes throughout the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty to help you easily explore and enjoy our countryside and landscape. Each walk is around 2.5 to 5 miles in length and takes you on a circular journey through some of our most wonderful places ... ' ALERT I could no longer find this Collection as such on the AONB Site. So I have replaced the Link with a related Link.
'Base yourself in one of our colourful market towns or pretty villages for a weekend or mid-week break with walks. These downloadable itinerary ideas are full of inspiration for places to stay, things to do and a selection of wonderful walks, whether you want a gentle stroll or a longer hike ... The routes are available to buy from the Tourist Information Centre in the town/village or available to download free of charge online.' ALERT The Website no longer seems to include this Section; so I have had to amend the Links to a related area.
'Walk linking the pubs of the Donnington Brewery in a circular path through rural Gloucestershire. Most Donnington houses offer bed and breakfast facilities, enabling you to walk distances of your choice. The Donnington Way is a true Cotswold delight for the rambler who thrives on well-kept countryside, hidden villages and good beer.'
The Donnington Way: a History of Donnington Brewery and Walk Between the Donnington Inns (Walkabout Series) by Colin Handy (Reardon Publishing, 2012). Amazon offer a Kindle Edtion of this Guide.
'There are a number of good walks in and around the area. Chipping Campden is an ideal starting or finishing point for your walk ... If you are attempting all 100 miles of the famous Cotswold Way to Bath then you will be aware that the War Memorial is the official Chipping Campden start/finish point of the Cotswold Way.'
ALERT Record formerly linked to Website Chipping Campden Walks.
'A roughly diamond shaped walk visiting many small villages using quiet footpaths. Imaginative and scenic route through rural Gloucestershire, created by the Ramblers' North Cotswold Group to celebrate its 60th Jubilee in 1995.'
North Cotswold Diamond Way by Elizabeth Bell (North Cotswold Ramblers Group, 2011)
'Winds through Oxfordshire from Bourton-on-the-Water in Gloucestershire to the banks of the River Thames in Henley.'
'Walk around the Oxfordshire country boundary. The route criss-crosses the boundary taking the walker into seven shires from Gloucestershire to Oxfordshire, Warwickshire, Northamptonshire, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire and Wiltshire.'
'Leads you to Stow's hidden gems and provides an insight into the history of buildings and the St. Edwards church. The trail is approximately 1 kilometer and on level ground with the exception of the entry into the churchyard. The Stow on the Wold Town Trail guide is available at GO-STOW and costs 50p only.'
'Follow the greatest river in England for 184 miles (294 km) from its source in the Cotswolds almost to the sea. Passing through peaceful water meadows, unspoilt rural villages, historic towns and cities, and finally cutting through the heart of London to finish at the Thames Barrier in Greenwich.'
The Thames Path National Trail Unofficial Guide | Thames Path [Transport for London]
'Linking the Cotswold Way at Winchcombe with the Oxfordshire Way at Bourton-on-the-Water the Windrush Way goes over the hills with only the remains of "lost" medieval villages en route to the River Windrush in Bourton, whereas its sister route, the Wardens' Way, winds through the villages. The waymarked Wardens' Way and Windrush Way (both 14 miles and shown on OS mapping) therefore provide alternative high and low level routes respectively from Winchcombe to Bourton-on-the-Water.'

By Jeff Goetze
Canvas printing has established itself as a growing and profitable segment of the wide-format graphics market. According to InfoTrends, a printing industry research firm, the amount of canvas printed each year will have grown from roughly approximately 46 million m2 (500 million sf) in 2013 to nearly 80 million m2 (860 million sf) by 2018, for a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.6 per cent.
That rate of growth represents many opportunities across a variety of market segments, from limited-edition fine-art reproductions to corporate decor for restaurants, hotels and hospitals, wherever an individual or organization is looking to 'spice up' a space with the unique look of canvas.
For sign and print shops, it is important to consider such factors as materials, printers, ink sets and coatings when determining the best way to produce canvas prints for the local market.
Materials and textures
The inkjet-printable canvas materials currently available vary by base material, weave, weight, finish and optical brightening agents (OBAs). Choosing the right canvas is a mostly subjective matter, since different customers like different appearances. Some may seek a highly textured surface, for example, while others prefer a smoother finish. The choice may also depend on the lighting where the canvas is to be displayed.
So, when discussing a canvas project with a client, it is important to understand his/her expectations, the project's budget and where it will be displayed.
A polyester base material is typically used for higher-volume projects because it is less expensive and smoother than other options. It is often used for decorative signage, banners, wallcoverings and other decor applications.
Some clients like the smoother surface for photography reproductions where a texture could detract from the image, while other artists would prefer a more traditional canvas texture appearance. While choosing esthetics will mostly be based on what a given client likes, however, the economics of production may be what dictates the choice of polyester.
When most people envision an art canvas, they are thinking of the texture of 100 per cent cotton. That said, because cotton comprises 100 per cent natural fibres, there are more likely to be variations in the material's whiteness, weave and texture from lot to lot, which can cause problems if a project requires consistency from print to print.
Some print shops find the variability of cotton is an advantage, however, as it provides a very original look for each of their products, allowing them to position themselves as custom, one-of-a-kind printers.

In my prior post, I referenced seeing my head and neck surgeon to investigate recent changes to my voice and swelling in my neck. Although there was nothing suspicious upon visual examination, he wanted to confer with both my medical oncologist and radiation oncologist to determine whether or not an imaging study was warranted. Much to my surprise, I received a call back after the Memorial Day holiday stating that they wanted to move up the date for my first post-therapy PET scan, which was originally scheduled for July 19.
For head and neck cancer, this first PET scan following chemoradiation therapy is a big deal. A "complete response" to therapy based on PET assessment is associated with a high probability of regional control (only 2.3% regional failure rate) and a five year overall survival rate of 79.8% based on long-term follow-up in a large uniform cohort at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC, see reference below). With a suspected incomplete response on the first PET scan, the 5-year overall survival rate dropped to 57.0% in the same study.
My PET scan was rescheduled for late in the day last Friday (June 3), which meant that I wouldn't receive a phone call with the results until today (Monday). It was worth the wait, however, as the report from my PET scan couldn't have been better. There was no accumulation of the radio tracer in my tonsil, the previously enlarged lymph node, vocal cords or any other area of concern. Sometimes there is inflammation and other artifacts from treatment that radiologists can't rule out as residual disease and therefore cautious language can be used in the radiology report, which wasn't the case for me. Additionally, there was a marked decrease in the size of the infected lymph node.
Personally, I'm not a fan of the terms "cure" or "cancer free" – since right now there's no way for doctors to know with certainty that all of the cancer cells in my body are gone. In fact, some cancer cells can remain unnoticed in the body for years after treatment. So for now I prefer to embrace the phrase "complete response," which references the disappearance of all signs of cancer in response to treatment.
If cancer cells do come back, it often happens within the 5 years following the first diagnosis and treatment. In this regard, I'm optimistic about the expected 80% 5-year survival rate – especially when compared to some other aggressive cancers, such as pancreatic cancer, which is associated with a 5-year survival rate of only 8% (American Cancer Society. Cancer Facts & Figures 2016. Atlanta: American Cancer Society; 2016).
I meet with my radiation oncologist in a few weeks and will learn more about how frequently I will need to have follow-up PET scans and other visits. Until then, I'm trying to digest the positive news, looking forward to slowly regaining some control over my life, and appreciating the coincidence that yesterday cancer survivors and supporters in communities around the world gathered to celebrate the 29th annual National Cancer Survivors Day® (June has been designated National Cancer Survivors Month).
Thank you to everyone (far too many to name…) who supported me during this difficult period – but especially my wife Lorie who has been absolutely amazing through all the ups and downs (luvya!).

Haruj and Ergs Ubari and Murzuq in Central Libya26.7N 13.9E
The large, circular brown area in the midst of the Libyan Desert, south of the Mediterranean Sea, is the Haruj Volcanic Field. The field stretches over 45000 km2 in the central part of the country.
To the east and southeast of the Haruj are two large ergs, or sand dune seas, separated by a ridge of sandstone. The erg north of the mountains is Erg Ubari (also called Awbari), while the one to the south is Erg Murzuq (also called Murzuk).

Versatility meets durability
|Black Wooly Bugger
I think that most fly fishers will agree that the wooly bugger is one of the most versatile flies that can be fished, and it it responsible for catching many different species of fish. In this version of the bugger, I focus on making the fly have more movement in the water, and have better durability for multiple fish days. I first started tying buggers like this when I would fish Strawberry Reservoir in Utah a lot. There are HUGE Bear Lake Cutthroat with pretty big teeth in there, and if I didn't reinforce my buggers they would rarely make it past two or three fish. This method is nothing new, but it is a simple way to build a better bug.
Here is the video...

Genealogy- which methods are best? Is it a data program, or pen and paper with access to a digital archive? I have tried them both and have made my conclusion. Genealogy is a time consuming hobby which make me forget time and space. My experience when it come to data programmes is My heritage, where names firmly pop up and make it so easy to collect information.
Genealogy in Norway
For many years ago I sign up for DIS-Norge, The Genealogy Society of Norway. This is the largest association for genealogists in Norway. The most famous database is Gravminner. This is the Norwegian name of the DIS Headstone database, which is one of the tools I have used the most. This is a free tool which DIS-Norge provides for their members, and others who are looking for their ancestors.
I have used The National Archives of Norway (Arkivverket) especially the Digital Archives (arkivverket.no/digitalarkivet). Here you can access censuses, parish records, emigrant lists, real estate registers, probate records, tax list and more.
The National Library of Norway has preserved copies of everything published in Norway, which have given me a lot of help. The library has preserved books, newspapers, magazines, photographs, phone books and even train schedules and election files. The web adress is http://www.nb.no. They recommend to send them an email at firstname.lastname@example.com before visiting the library.
I have had a lot of help of the nationwide censuses held on regular basis. That mean that 1801, 1865, 1875, 1900 and 1910 are available online along with lists of males back to 1664. The web adress is http://www.arkivverket.no/digitalarkivet
Parish registers have been a valuable contribution to my reasearch and is very interesting reading. The priests started to keep records of baptism, marriages and funerals in the beginning of the mid-1600. Most of the registers can be found at media.digitalarkivet.no/en/.
"Village books" have been of invaluable sources for my genealogy projects. You get a good insight in how your ancestors lived.
The digitized genealogy research
Whether you want to search your ancestors "by hand", or set up a digital programme you need a name. age, place and occupation. I have for may years been written my lineage chart by hand, but a couple of years ago I decided to give My heritage a try. You sign up and get a frontpage at the web site. You can write messages to other people through My heritage, and in some cases that is a nice feature. My heritage is not free and you got to pay a annual amount. Genealogy with a digitized method is really fast.
My heritage is very easy, and you don´t have to be an data expert to use it, and you can easiliy add names and other information.
The disadvantage with My heritage
As you work, you soon will discover other people searching for the same ancestors as you. The problem with My heritage is all the names popping up constantly, and you get suggestions from other people's lineage chart. Then you have to decide to add the suggested names into your chart or dismiss them, even if you got the names in your chart or not. There are step mothers, step sons, sisters to an aunt or somebody´s uncle, four-,five and sixth cousins and so on and the question is; do I need all the information?
To be honest, I didn´t like these pop-up suggestions. I wanted to do my own research. My lineage chart became to big, because certain names actually doubled. In the end I was so confused. I could not remember who has been added to my chart or not, and it became so difficult to know whether I was really related to all of these people or not. The clues are in the documentation which you don´t have any access to at My heritage.
One lady wrote to me on my "My heritage" frontpage and asked why I dismissed her lineage chart, because they were correct. She seemed really furious about it…… On the other hand I may have misunderstood the purpose, but for me it was just disturbing.
My heritage promotes their DNA tests. But is that really necessary when I through my research find exactly where my ancestors lived?
Which methods are best?
I decided to change method and go back to pen and paper, which gives me better control and a better chance to remember the names. The digital archive in Norway has all the documentation I need and given me the access to the parish registers, censuses and the Headstone database.
I am so old now that my grandmothers and grandfathers have pasted away a long time ago, so I can´t use them as a source. Even they tried to tell us about their childhood in Lofoten or stories about their grandparents.
So I have now invested in "Village books" and genealogy books for my own children. So genealogy- which methods are the best? Pen, paper and the Digital archives.

A guide to appropriate wifi router placement
The placement of your router plays a significant role in the performance of your wireless network. The Wifi working may or may not be great in concern with how you are placing the modem. Many people have a real device in their house. However, the fact that they are not setting it the way it is meant to make them think that it is faulty and lacks in terms of performance. Here, we will guide you about how you can set up your wifi router in an appropriate way. checkout reviews on netgear ac1600 review
Place it in the center of your location
If it is your house, make sure that the modem is at the central location of it. Mostly, the device will be around the place where you use it the most. People tend to put it in a cabinet or the basement of their home. It is not the best approach. If you want to make most of it, you can do so by just changing its location. The central spot will ensure that the signals are transmitted to the surroundings with almost equal strength.
Do not put it around metal objects
The dissipation of electromagnetic energy takes place efficiently if there is metal in use. Therefore, keeping it somewhere where you got a lot of metallic objects in the surroundings will not be the best move. It also makes your kitchen an inappropriate place for your modem to live.
The concrete and brick effect
Most of the material plays a role in reflecting the radiation. Some reflect or absorb the rays strongly while others do it partially. Concrete and brick walls are enemies of your Wifi signals. If you have these materials in making of your home, the signals will not be able to travel to maximum distance. Moreover, the noticeable thing is that floors and ceilings are likely to be more transmissive.
The microwave and router
We mentioned above that kitchen is not the best place for keeping your wifi router. It is because there are plenty of metallic objects in the surroundings which are not suitable for the signals emitted by the modem. Not only this but the microwave slows down the internet to a great extent. Try this by placing the device around your kitchen and start the microwave. During the operational time of your oven, the internet will be pretty slow.
Set it high
The wifi routers are emitting radio waves. Mounting it to a wall or setting it somewhere on a top shelf can help you in catching a better signal strength. Mainly, if you are living in a two-story building, placing it high will ensure better connectivity on both floors.
So, these are certain things that you should consider in terms of wifi placement. Note that the antenna placement is also critical when it comes to reaching. The horizontal range is enhanced by placing it upwards which setting it sideways will give a boost to vertical reach. You may like to use any app for visualizing the signals to set the wifi router in a better position.
Other ways to increase performance are by adding a best wifi boosters. These can significantly increase your wireless coverage

Former President Bill Clinton says Russian President Vladimir Putin is "highly intelligent," but has a skewed perception of Russian greatness.
"He is highly intelligent, deeply, deeply patriotic in terms of Russia, but he sees it more in terms of the greatness of the state and the country than what happens to ordinary Russians," Clinton said Sunday during the Global Education & Skills Forum in Dubai.
In an interview during the forum with Fareed Zakaria, Clinton gave his take on Putin as a leader.
"I think he's got a sort of fatalistic view of the misfortunes that befall ordinary people when larger things are at stake," Clinton said. "I think the largest things that are at stake are the misfortunes that befall ordinary people. It depends on how you look at the world and what you think the purpose of politics is."
However, Clinton, citing his own dealings with Putin, said the Russian president was never misleading.

text: BTH 12 Posted January 9, 2006 I notice that with the new system the first thread of a post is included at the top of each page of the thread. Is there a setting somewhere (in My Controls?) that controls this? I find this irritating especially if the first post is long. For example, while I love Spiderman-NL's posts at the start of the game threads, they are very long and I would much prefer to not have to read them each time I page forwards or backwards. Failing a setting to get rid of this, I would propose people make their first post a short one when they create a new thread. I have no idea what you're talking about. The closest thing I know to this is that the subtitle is put with the title once you're inside the thread. In the game threads, when I go from page to page I never have to see the original post - unless, of course, I'm going to page 1. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just a few notes in Jake Xerxes Fussell's preview track off his upcoming album and you can already tell that you're listening to something special. Who would've thought that the way how he is picking the strings of his guitar and his singing in "Star Girl" might ever sound so refreshing? On the one hand this is due to boring trends in country and folk music. On the other hand it is due to some incredible talent. We're talking about a traditional folk approach that is deeply rooted in the North Carolina territory and what could easily become one of the finest things you might have heard in this genre in a while.
Fussell's debut album will be released on Paradise of Bachelors in about one week. The two tracks that you can listen to on Soundcloud will make you look forward to the full length record.

My cousin Gabby Lopez delivered a very timely closing remarks (below) at the Lopez Group budget meeting last Monday. He talked about an uncompromising Lopez business practice of handling debt. This should clarify recent news stories about how the Lopez Group handled its debt to DBP. Thank you.
Good afternoon.
To those of you who still attend Sunday Mass, you must be familiar with that portion of the liturgical year between Christmas and Good Friday that the Church calls "ordinary times." It connotes peaceful times… nothing to get us too excited as we go through our routine of doing business. Ten years of the Arroyo administration was bad for everyone but it is over. It was with a sigh of relief that we welcomed a new administration enjoying tremendous credibility. And because it is determined to fight corruption and to improve governance in this country, our businesses stand to benefit from increased investor confidence. And I also thought that after the group ceded control of Meralco and dropped Willie Revillame, we would be living in more or less ordinary times… less prone to seeing ourselves in the newspapers being attacked for something or another. Not so it would seem.
Exactly two weeks ago, I was totally surprised to see two prominent columnists attacking us because according to them, DBP wrote off P1.67 billion worth of loans to several of our units from 1996 to 2000, which incidentally included loans to SkyCable originally granted to Manny Pangilinan's Home Cable which we assumed when we bought it. The way the stories were written, it was made to appear that we got special favors or some form of accommodation from DBP and that in the end, we supposedly left the Filipino taxpayers holding an empty bag where P1.67 billion should have been.
Those of you who have been with the group for a while and who understand the nature of today's financial transactions know nothing could be farther from the truth. To put it very simply, if DBP held on to our debt, they would have been paid 100 per cent of it by now… and would have no need to write off anything. We did redeem our debts which went into restructuring and the last batch of creditors got 100 per cent of the debt value repaid. And while our debts were being restructured, we paid interest on our debts… so it isn't as if DBP or any of our creditors for that matter, were as we would say it in Pilipino… na-argabyado.
What happened was that DBP was too anxious to cash in on our debt so they sold it at a discount to a Special Purpose Vehicle or what is commonly known as a SPAV. That was their decision, not ours. In today's financial world, there are so called vulture funds or those who actually buy what are called distressed loans. Once we went into restructuring, our debt papers were considered distressed and could be bought and sold in the open market for a discount over face value. When we were finally able to pay off our debts, many of those who got our payment were not the original creditors but vulture funds who bought our papers at a discount… and they made money.
One other thing that is difficult to explain to columnists who do not understand finance is that DBP was only one of many creditors in a consortium of creditors who lent us money. They didn't have to be in the consortium because at the time we borrowed there were enough lenders to fill our needs. DBP's portion was a rather small portion of the total amount we borrowed which could have been covered by some other creditor. In other words, we didn't force DBP to lend us money. They joined the consortium because after analysis and due diligence, they were convinced they could make money on the deal.
But all businesses involve risks. Of course businesses could go up or down and in our case, the Asian financial crisis, some bad decisions on our part and a hostile regulatory environment all combined to put us into real trouble which forced us to go into financial restructuring. If there was any real victim of circumstances here, it is the Lopez Group because we ended up writing off P20.7 billion in equity and investments for Maynilad and Bayan Telecommunications alone. This does not include the cost of interest on loans.
So, some people are saying, why can't we now that we more financially able pay DBP back. How can we? DBP already sold our debt to a SPV which probably sold it to another entity that actually collected the full value of the amount from us when we concluded our rehabilitation effort. Recognizing and paying our debts is sacrosanct in the Lopez Group. We do not run away from our obligations, specially not at the expense of the taxpayers, an unfair insinuation in the recent Inquirer columns. In fact, we did pay our debts according to the rules. We paid whoever held our debt papers at the time which may not be the original creditor.
On this subject of debt payments, I want to quote a section from Raul Rodrigo's Kapitan, the book on my father, to show how the Lopez family feels about this matter. Here are a few paragraphs from that book:
Geny's second big decision in the late 1980s was not about business strategy, but about keeping his word of honor. Geny had long been bothered by the ABS-CBN debts left stranded in 1972 when the Marcos regime seized the network. On September 22, 1972, it had owed P48.1 million in principal to various lenders, including Citibank (P19.3 million), PCIBank (P9.2 million), Fidelity Bank of Philadelphia (P3.5 million) and Crocker National Bank (P2.5 million). Over the years, Citibank in particular pressed Marcos and Benedicto to repay these debts, since they controlled the Broadcast Center. But the two had always turned a deaf ear, even to a direct appeal from the bank's chairman, John Reed, himself. In time, the banks gave up, and wrote off the debts as casualties of political turmoil.
But Geny did not forget. Although ABS-CBN no longer had a legal obligation to repay the loans, since they had been proscribed by the lenders, he still felt a keen moral obligation. So in 1987, Geny arranged to repay the network's outstanding debts in several installments over the next few years. Certainly, CFO Gabby Lopez could have used the funds paid to Citibank to retire some more recent debt, such as the supplier's credit arrangement with Sony or the loan from RCBC, more quickly. Or chief engineer Mako Elizan could have used that money to buy some more new equipment badly needed at the Broadcast Center. Certainly the production crew down at the props area suffering from a shortage of simple things like chairs would have had some suggestions on how best to use the money.
But Geny wanted the new ABS-CBN to begin its second life with a clean slate. Gabby recalled: "That was the way my father was—he felt he owed them money and it was a moral obligation, if not a legal obligation, and he paid them."
For their part, the lenders were very pleased to recover tens of millions in funds that they had long ago written off. They met with Geny and Gabby and agreed to a comfortable restructured repayment scheme spread out over several years. Geny's move greatly boosted the standing and credibility of ABS-CBN in the local and international financial markets. The Kapitan demonstrated that ABS-CBN was not only a company that knew how to play and win the game, but that it would play the game by gentlemen's rules. End of quote from the book.
Paying our debts in the Lopez Group is something like religious dogma… no two ways about it. So it was so absurd that this accusation was leveled at us without any warning. Of course we are in truth just collateral damage. Whoever caused that story to be published by two unwitting columnists really wanted to change the direction of a Senate hearing on more recent loans granted by DBP. It was unfair of them to include us in their mudslinging, but I guess that is how it is in our country's political scene today.
We don't expect that episode to be the last. Because of ABS-CBN's prominence, we will always be a tempting target for those who have axes to grind. And now, because of Gina's campaign against mining in island eco-systems, we have a whole industry after us. In other words, we have to accept that we will have a lot of enemies than we even know about… even in ordinary times.
This is why our Lopez Credo and Lopez Values are more important than ever. By living these values in our businesses, we can be sure that we are always on the side of good… working always for the good of Filipinos. As I said in the last budget conference, we are expected to live by standards higher than those acceptable for most business organizations. We are expected to do business with honor and integrity at all times. We are expected to stand by what is right for our country, even if sometimes it makes doing business a little more difficult and we start losing our friends, and make more enemies, as it happened to our Lord Jesus Christ or to Jose Rizal and Ninoy Aquino for that matter.
This year has been quite challenging for all our companies. Next year may be more so, given what is happening around the world. But even as we find ways to strengthen and prosper our businesses, let us show how our values work as our compass in the very treacherous environment around us. It will likely never be smooth sailing for us as far as Philippine business and politics go. But as long as we know we live our values, we will always overcome.
Thank you for staying the course with us. It is this unity that keeps us strong for the long journey ahead.
Salamat, kapamilya.

Arrives in 3-7 Business Days
Modern and contemporary art can be both baffling and beautiful; it can also be innovative, political, and disturbing. This book sets out to provide the first concise interpretation of the period as a whole, clarifying the artists and their works along the way. Closely informed by new critical approaches, it concentrates on the relationship between American and European art from the end of the Second World War to the eve of the new millennium.
Jackson Pollock, Jasper Johns, Yves Klein, Andy Warhol, Louise Bourgeois, Cindy Sherman, and Damien Hirst are among many artists discussed, with careful attention being given to the political and cultural worlds they inhabited. Moving along a clear timeline, the author highlights key movements such as Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art, Minimalism, Conceptualism, Postmodernism, and performance art to explain the theoretical and issue-based debates that have provided the engine for the art of this period.

Fauvism Influence
Gwendoline Pieters is a Provencal artist living in Cassis.
Born in 1969, she passed her artistic baccalaureate in 1987. She furthered her education by joining the "Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture Parisienne". At the same time, she produced her first paintings, and was noticed by the director of Fondazione Lognhi who invited her to Florence where she would paint and study for a year.
The following year, in 1991, she joined the fine arts school of Marseilles. (Les beaux-arts)
In love with the region, she is influenced by the different painters who have tried to capture the beauty of the territory in their works of art.
André Derain, Othon Friesz and Matisse became her inspiration, although she has tried different techniques such as oil painting, acrylic or pastel that allowed her to develop a style of her own.
Indeed, like a subtle cross over between Fauvism and Pop Art, with a touch of Robert Combas' work, Gwendoline Pieters' art has a southern accent.
Throughout her artistic career Gwendoline Pieters has participated in numerous artistic meetings and exhibited in several countries such as France, Switzerland, Belgium and the United States. Thus, she was able to work on the project of communication of the Vaults by participating in the creation of the institutional visual of the project and bringing a touch of fauvism …

David Bowie, one of the world's biggest rock stars, died Sunday after an 18-month battle with cancer.
While we mourn the death of the intergalactic artist, we remember the gifts he left behind that are literally out of this world. Like his ever-transforming body of work. The influence he left on every facet of pop culture from fashion to music and even identity. And his beautiful family — son Duncan Jones, daughter Alexandria Zahra Jones, and wife of 20 plus years, supermodel and entrepreneur Iman.
Today we celebrate Iman and Bowie's union, remembering how the love they shared — between themselves and the world — is still transcending and inspiring.

TEAM INDIA LEAVE FOR GUAM MATCH ON 16th JUNE
12.06.2015- AIFF PRESS RELEASE : A day after an 'unlucky' India went down 1-2 to Oman in the Russia 2018 World Cup Preliminary Joint Qualification match, the Men in Blue left on Friday (June 12) for Guam to play for their next match slated for June 16. The travel to Guam via Delhi and Tokyo involves two flight changes and accumulates to a flying time of almost 16 hours leave aside the waiting time at the Airports. The Indian Team lands in Guam late on Saturday (June 13) afternoon around 5pm.
Nevertheless, the morning after, the 'new generation India,' rejuvenated and confident after their gallant display against Oman unanimously stated that they "look forward to the next context." Guam are sitting pretty with three points in Group D after their solitary goal victory over Turkmenistan on Thursday (June 11).
The last and the only time India played Guam was in the 2013 AFC Challenge Cup in Yangon where after a barren first half, India had romped home 4-0, courtesy a brace from Sunil Chhetri and a goal each from Clifford Miranda and Jewel Raja. National Coach Stephen Constantine maintained that "Guam are a good side."
"There are a very difficult side and are being managed by an English Coach. They have five Players playing in the US with a couple playing in the MLS. So for all who have been rubbishing Guam, you need to look at their strength. Captain Arnab Mondal mentioned about the gritty show against Oman.
"On the surface, it seemed an uneven contest. But we brought it close. It's impossible to single out any certain individual. It was a concerted Team effort from our side. That's the specialty of this Team," he stated. "The fight against Oman has added to our confidence. We have a feeling this is the beginning of a turnaround in Indian Football. I foresee this as the beginning of something good," he added.
After fielding eight debutants in the back to back Preliminary Round 1 matches against Nepal, Constantine had fielded five debutants -- Rino Anto, Dhanachandra Singh, Lalchhuanmawia, Sehnaj Singh and Seityasen Singh – against Oman. "When has it ever happened in Indian Football that 13 debutants have been fielded in three matches? Mondal quipped. "You balance it with the results, you will find us beating Nepal and going down narrowly to one of the strongest sides in Asia. All of that illustrates that the 'new generation' are ready to take on the mantle," he pronounced.
"Against Oman, three of the back-four were debutants. How many can afford that? And all of us played together for the first time. And I reiterate, we were playing against Oman," Mondal explained. Mondal, however, wasn't willing to shed more light on the next match. "Coach will guide us. We will follow him. I request the fans to support us and be patient. #Backtheblue."
11.11.2015: PREVIEW AIFF PRESS RELEASE : Guam are the favourites, declares Constantine ---- It's raining. Dark clouds float overhead threatening to deliver every moment. And they do. The showers since the arrival of the National Team squad in this lush green Garden City have been light, torrential, light and then torrential again. For the last four days, the roads haven't dried up ever. It's wet.
The Indian Team drenched in the rain have had two practice sessions so far – a recovery session on Monday evening and a session on Tuesday morning. The points table doesn't project any smiles for the boys having lost all of the five so far. It's wet even there.
Guam arrived in Bengaluru a couple of days earlier than Team India assembled. They have in fact have had more practice sessions than the Men in Blue. And even as you hear the pitter patter of rain drops on the window panes, National Coach Stephen Constantine mentions "Guam are the favourites."
"Guam have seven points. They are above us in the FIFA Rankings. So they are the favourites," he says in one breath. "But at the end of the day it's what you do on the pitch which determines the result."You take him back to India's previous match against Guam. Constantine says: "This was our first away trip in the Group. I was fully aware of the difficulties that faced us in Guam. They may be a Guam Team but most of their Players ply their trade in USA," he states.
"In any case, we didn't play particularly well in which has been the case in all of our away games so far. Four games later, we are a better side that we were then. I have respect for Guam and their Coach as they do. But we need the points to give ourselves the chance of making the Playoffs."
You turn to the Players and they admit unanimously that "we were not up to the mark in Guam."The other day Arnab Mondal mentioned: "People may speak about the weather, the ground conditions when we played Guam in Guam. But simply put, they were better than us on that day."
India have so far played two matches at the Kanteerava. The first against Oman was lost 1-2, a match where the Men in Blue should have snatched away at least a draw. The second, despite losing 0-3 to 'Giants of Asia,' the boys were spontaneously lauded for their aggressive attitude by none other than Carlos Queiroz.
"When I came here in 2015, I was under no illusion as to the difficulties and challenges that lay ahead. We had not qualified for the World Cup Qualifiers in 8 years," Constantine quips."In my first Press Conference in Delhi I had told everybody present that this is going to be a long and difficult road and it will take time to regain our pride in Asian Football. In this time, we have blooded 16 debutants and have changed the attitude and atmosphere of the Players. And if you look at three of our five Qualifiers, we have lost by the odd goal."
"I believe that this group of Players that we have and the others that will follow will make us into a competitive Team in the months and years to come."The best part of India's Team Hotel stays that the Stadium is just across the road. And there have been occasions when a couple of the Players have preferred to walk rather than take the car to fulfill obligations.
Constantine, nevertheless, sounds impatient. "I hate the in between. I really enjoy playing. I wish we can play every week. Unfortunately this is the drawback when you are Coaching a National Team. I just can't wait for the kick-off," he pronounces. It's still raining outside. All is wet.
India - Pre world cup 2018 qualification (INDIA Vs GUAM)
15.06.2015: India to face Guam in the 2nd match of world cup 2018 qualification AFC zone tomorrow at 11.45 AM indian time. India lost 1-2 to Oman in their first game while Guam beat Turkmenistan 1-0 in their first match. Guam Coach Gary White informs that they are "looking forward to the game." It's likely to be a competitive one. Win or perish – both Teams would go out to get those three points. We have watched India's match against Oman and must say that there seems to be a new life in the Indian Team. They looked very organised and it will be difficult to break them down," he states.
India coach Stephen Constantine told "We are not in a position to look at the FIFA Rankings. Every Team have their plus and minus-es. Guam having won their last match against Turkmenistan are going to be encouraged, stay motivated and be ready to play," said National Coach Stephen Constantine. India met Guam last in 2013 where they won 4-0.

One of the downsides of our fallen humanity is that we have a propensity to justify our sin. We do it any number of ways. Here are a few:
- Justification by blame-shifting: You make me so mad when you do that.
- Justification by comparison: I know what I did was wrong, but it wasn't as bad as what they did.
- Justification though weakness: I tried to say no, but the temptation was too great.
- Justification by independence: It's my life; I think I should be able to do what I want.
- Justification by merit: I had a hard week; I felt like I deserved the pleasure.
- Justification by majority: Everybody else is doing it; it can't that bad.
All of these justifications are wrong, but they feel so right at the time. I came across a great statement in my Puritan prayer book The Valley of Vision. In the prayer entitled "Humiliation" the old saint wrote,
Let me never forget that the heinousnesss of sin lies not so much in the nature of the sin committed, as in the greatness of the Person sinned against.
Now there's a prayer worth remembering next time your desires start to justify your actions.

K'inich Yax K'uk' Mo[pronunciation?] (lit. "Great-Sun First/Green Quetzal Macaw", or "Sun-Eyed Resplendent Quetzal Macaw", ruled 426 – c. 437) is named in Maya inscriptions as the founder and first ruler, k'ul ahaw (holy lord), of the pre-Columbian Maya civilization polity centered at Copán, a major Maya site located in the southeastern Maya lowlands region in present-day Honduras. The motifs associated with his depiction on Copan monuments have a distinct resemblance to imagery associated with the height of the Classic-era center of Teotihuacan in the distant northern central Mexican region, and have been interpreted as intending to suggest his origins and association with that prestigious civilization. One of the most commonly cited motifs for this interpretation is Yax K'uk' Mo's 'goggle-eyed' headdress with which he is commonly depicted, seemingly an invocation of the northern central Mexican rain deity known as Tlaloc to later peoples such as the Aztecs. However, modern strontium isotope analysis of the human remains recovered from the tomb attributed to him indicate that K'inich Yax K'uk' Mo' spent his formative years much closer to Copán, at Tikal, and had not himself lived at Teotihuacan.
His tomb is in the center of the Copán acropolis; he is buried with jade and shell jewelry, including his 'goggle-eyed' headress. His image occupies the first position in the carving on Altar Q, showing the dynasty's king list. His image is found in significant positions in other monuments of later rulers.
Archaeological work done at Copán in 2000 excavated the tomb considered to be that of K'inich Yax K'uk' Mo under the Acropolis. The skeleton exhibited a number of traumas including healed fractures of the arm, sternum, and shoulder which have been surmised to have resulted from ball court matches. Analysis of strontium in the teeth of the skeleton indicates that the individual spent his early years near Tikal in the Petén Basin region and then at some point between Tikal and Copán, and the isotopic signature did not match with a Teotihuacan origin. Chronologically and epigraphically, however, much evidence points to the general ascension of rulers who were sent into the lowland Maya region either as invaders or envoys from Teotihuacan during the late 4th century; particularly the widely known and powerful Yax Nuun Ayiin I of Tikal, son of Teotihuacan lord Spearthrower Owl.[1] The implication of this, regardless of K'inich Yax K'uk' Mo's physical point of geographic origin, is that later Copán rulers, in particular K'ak' Yipyaj Chan K'awiil and Yax Pasaj Chan Yopaat retrospectively sought to attribute Teotihuacano heritage to the 'founding' ruler of their dynasty as a means of legitimising the dynastic claim.[2]

Two political novices - billionaire real estate mogul Donald Trump and former neurosurgeon Ben Carson - top the latest survey as the choice of U.S. Republicans for the party's 2016 presidential nomination.
As the 16-candidate Republican field gets set for another round of debates Wednesday night, the CBS/New York Times poll released Tuesday shows the flamboyant Trump with 27 percent support and the much more reserved Carson trailing with 23 percent.
None of a large group of current and former governors and senators seeking the nomination reached double digit figures in the poll that was conducted in the last few days. Former Florida governor Jeb Bush, the son and brother of two former U.S. presidents, was third at 6 percent, less than half of the 13 percent figure he recorded in an early August poll. Carson's support surged since then, jumping from 6 percent.
Neither Trump nor Carson have held elected office before, but both are winning support from Republicans for their anti-Washington rhetoric and conservative positions on such social issues as abortion and gay rights.
They also have aimed attacks at both Democratic President Barack Obama, who is constitutionally barred from seeking a third term, and leaders of the Republican-controlled Congress, who they view as too willing to compromise with more liberal Democrats on key issues.
The first voting in the long journey to picking presidential nominees in the U.S. is not scheduled until February 1, at caucuses in the rural state of Iowa, and voters often change their minds about their preferred candidates. The CBS/New York Times poll said that only 37 percent of the Republicans surveyed said their minds are made up, with 63 percent saying it was still too early to commit to a choice.
In another recent poll, The Washington Post and ABC News found that 56 percent of U.S. registered voters do not consider Trump qualified to be president.
Established Republican politicians have been stymied so far in their efforts to combat the popularity of Trump, who has built skyscrapers and casinos and hosted a television reality show. He has routinely taunted his opponents as "losers," while vowing to evict more than 11 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. from the country and build an impenetrable wall on the U.S.-Mexican border to keep out more migrants.
At a rally Monday, he called the U.S. "a dumping ground for the rest of the world."
The soft-spoken Carson, with staunch conservative views, has gained support as an alternative to Trump's bluntness on the campaign trail. Before retiring as a physician, Carson was the first surgeon to successfully separate conjoined twins joined at the head.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton continues to lead national surveys in the Democratic presidential nomination contest, over a Democratic socialist, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders. But Clinton's support has dipped sharply amid questions about the handling of classified U.S. documents on a private email server she used during her four-year tenure as the country's top diplomat. Vice President Joe Biden is also considering a late entry into the race for the Democratic nomination.
