After the Iraqi Army pushed the Islamic State out of Mosul, one brave crew of twelve men rushes into the ruins to rescue the living and recover the dead. John Beck joined them as they excavate tragedy in order to bring their city back to life.
The only firefighters in West Mosul, Iraq, switched on the siren as they drove a battered red truck through the ruins of their city. It was the morning of April 16, and they led a small convoy along roads gouged by bombs and partially blocked by collapsed buildings. The fighting was finished in this neighborhood, and the only other vehicles around were mangled wrecks. But the siren was an old habit, and it felt good to be back at work.
The firefighters, members of what is known in Iraq as the Civil Defense, parked by a colossal crater, and their chief, 47-year-old Colonel Rabie Ibrahim Hassan, started out on foot up an unpaved side street. Skinny, square-jawed Mohammed Shabaan hurried after him, clutching a small notebook. Around a dozen other men followed, guiding a crane and frontloader almost too large to fit between the buildings.
It had rained for weeks, but the day broke dry and hot and the now-still air smelled of corpses. The men pulled cheap surgical masks or respirators over their faces as they walked. They stopped in front of a heap of concrete and metal that had once been a pink two-story house. The background of gunfire and thud of mortar shells was louder here, as Iraqi forces clawed back ground from ISIS after an almost three-year occupation. Nobody seemed to notice the noise; it had been that way for months.
First in was Salih Jumma, the team's bomb-defusal expert. He had once been an enthusiastic brawler and was widely known by a nickname that roughly translates as "the hard man." Now 43, he was still strong, heaving aside chunks of concrete that others struggled to move in pairs.
Jumma disturbed a glistening mass of flies that shrouded the body of an ISIS fighter half buried in cinder blocks. The militant's face was decayed and swollen, and he was wearing a soiled blue coat and striped polo shirt. A suicide rig of explosives linked to a yellow detonation cord was wrapped around his waist. Jumma stiffened when he noticed. "Careful," he shouted. "He's wearing a belt." The firefighters stepped back—though not far enough to be safe—and conferred briefly. Jumma returned, uncovered more of the body, and tied a rope to its ankles, then looped the other end around the crane's hook. They watched the body rise slowly into the air, skim telephone wires, and come to rest in the courtyard of an empty house across the street.
Then the real work began—not fighting fires (there was hardly anything left to burn) but rather smashing through concrete with the frontloader, slicing the rebar inside, and hauling sections clear. The smell thickened as they drew closer to the object of their search: a family crushed under the rubble.
Colonel Hassan's unit was just twelve strong when I arrived in Mosul last April. They were first to regroup in areas freed from ISIS on the isolated west bank of the Tigris, though other crews from outside the city have joined them since. Even now, as the new year approaches, they are still pulling bodies from the rubble.
Most of the men are in their 40s but look older. When I met them, they wore almost-matching overalls on hunched but sturdy frames and baseball caps atop graying and balding heads. They smoked cheap Akhtamar cigarettes, and all but one were fathers several times over.
They had no orders, no fire station, and no vehicles. But as soon as the army pushed ISIS out of a neighborhood, they gathered with hand tools and started digging
Several of them had served in the Civil Defense for decades, in some cases working through the U.S. invasion of 2003. In the years before ISIS forces swept into Mosul in 2014, they dealt mostly with house fires, as well as auto wrecks, industrial blazes, and the occasional car bombing. There were hundreds of firefighters and 184 vehicles spread across Mosul's two sides, Hassan said. Even the lowest-paid of them received a decent salary, starting at 800,000 dinar ($680) a month.
ISIS arrived at Mosul's outskirts on June 4, 2014. Panicked soldiers and police ran without much of a fight, abandoning their weapons and leaving their uniforms in great piles by the roadsides. Masked gunmen soon stormed the city's Civil Defense stations, dismissed the officers, and ordered the rest of the firefighters to remain in their posts, even though their government salaries had stopped. Many fled, but some remained. Their rationale was simple. "We thought, What if this fire or this airstrike happened to our families?" explained Shabaan, the man I saw with the notebook. "There was no one else to help."
To make ends meet, they took side jobs. Shabaan, who has a degree in accounting, worked as a day laborer. "I wasn't ashamed for my friends to see me doing this," he said. "The biggest shame is if you go and ask them for money." Jumma fished the Tigris, while others made bread or sold coffee from tiny street stalls. It was never enough. They all struggled to provide for their families.
As ISIS consolidated its power in Mosul, the group enforced an extreme interpretation of Islamic law, banning smoking, music, and gender mixing and forcing women to wear black niqabs. All men were ordered to let their beards grow out, which the firefighters discovered prevented their breathing equipment from sealing tightly to their faces.
When the operation to retake West Mosul began in February of this year, the men were all trapped in ISIS territory. U.S. airstrikes and Iraqi artillery shells rained down on the city. Shabaan was the first to escape to an area controlled by the Iraqi government, and one by one the others followed. They had no orders, no fire station, and no vehicles. But as soon as the army pushed ISIS out of a neighborhood, they gathered with hand tools and started digging.
The three fire stations that had once operated in West Mosul were damaged or destroyed in the offensive, so they set up in a concrete-walled compound that belonged to the Education Ministry. Their new headquarters would be a four-room building to the rear of the compound, with peeling aluminum panels for walls and glass in roughly half of its window frames.
Their first official day there was April 14. Eight of them gathered early, with fresh shaves and newly laundered uniforms. They still had almost no equipment, so they stood and waited for a civil-defense crew from Hamam al-Alil, a town 20 miles to the south, to deliver a spare truck to them. When it arrived, the West Mosul men embraced their colleagues, who had brought along gas-powered cutting tools, pickaxes, sledgehammers, and portable generators.
Shabaan showed me his notebook. Inside were 190 neatly written names. Each was a corpse that he and his colleagues had pulled from the rubble over the previous month.
The firefighters were grateful for the supplies but embarrassed not to be able to offer tea to their guests. The Iraqi government still hadn't paid them, so even basic supplies were scarce. When they needed drinking water, they had to flag down one of the armored Humvees ferrying ammunition into the fight (or casualties out) and hope the soldiers inside were feeling charitable.
Colonel Hassan led his team with schoolmasterly concern. Being unable to provide for them stung him, especially when he saw the relative plenty enjoyed by the military.
"We are not like the army—they have everything: food, ammunition, supplies," he said. "All they have to do is ask for something and they'll have ten of it. We don't have anything. We are ignored."
Word of the new headquarters had already spread. Grieving families trudged in throughout the day and asked the firefighters to dig out their dead. Around noon, two scrappy teenage boys arrived and quietly explained their uncle's family had been buried under an airstrike earlier that week.
Shabaan listened, then lifted his cap, flattened his thinning hair, and ushered them inside. He wrote down the details at a desk slightly too big for the room, posters of idyllic nature scenes over his shoulders. The Civil Defense would come soon, he promised.
When the youths left, he showed me his notebook. It was faux-leather-bound and labeled DIARY in gold stitching. Inside were 190 neatly written names. Each was a corpse that he and his colleagues had pulled from the rubble over the previous month.
"No one asked me to do this," he explained. "But I knew that one day we would need it."
Two days later, the firefighters arrived at the address given by the boys, a house that had been almost completely destroyed by an airstrike, likely one of five carried out by the U.S.-led coalition that day. Ahmed Khalif, the 51-year-old patriarch of the family, had survived, along with his 23-year-old son, Omar, and his wife, who was badly injured. Nine other members of his family, ages 6 to 44, including his three daughters, a son, and two brothers, had died.
Khalif sat on his haunches outside the house as the firefighters worked, a tan jacket draped around his narrow shoulders. His arm, broken in the strike, was strapped in front of him, his lower lip bitten through. Omar stood quietly nearby, looking on.
The house was not Khalif's, but he had taken his family there when ISIS began to round up local residents as human shields. They hid for days listening to the explosions and gunfire. By the morning of April 8, they hadn't seen the militants for some time, so they packed a few essentials and got ready to move. At around 9:30 A.M., Khalif peered into the alleyway for a final look and the building erupted behind him. "I opened the door of the kitchen to see if there were ISIS there," he said. "I only heard a whoosh, then the air pushed me out and dropped me."
He did not watch as the Civil Defense uncovered the flattened home layer by layer. Jumma was at the forefront. After 26years on the force, he still attended every mission he could. "This is my role," he explained later. "I can't stand not to go."
Eventually, six of them heaved over a piece of concrete the size of a dining table. Underneath, the firefighters found a singed mattress, scraps of clothing, then flesh and bone. "It's a head," someone yelled. They picked up a blue body bag from a neatly folded pile and placed the remains inside.
"I opened the door of the kitchen to see if there were ISIS there," the man said. "I only heard a whoosh, then the air pushed me out and dropped me."
A few minutes later, Jumma approached Khalif and wordlessly held up a small, dust-covered left hand severed just below the wrist. Khalif identified it as belonging to his daughter, Hanin.
"How old was she?"
For a second, the father did not react. Then he silently clutched at his face as Jumma zipped Hanin's hand into another body bag.
Shabaan added the dead girl's name to his book. "This is our daily job," he said, shaking his head. The sergeant had what Iraqis call a "small heart." He seemed to feel these moments more than the others and was quick to cry.
After the last body was recovered, the Civil Defense quietly withdrew. Khalif climbed to what was once the top of the house's stairs and looked out with red eyes. Omar followed holding a clear plastic bag containing some of his sisters' treasured possessions: a jewelry box, plastic sunglasses, strings of colored beads.
The firemen got back into their trucks and headed back to the base. People called out to them as they passed, pointing to crumpled buildings and shouting that there were bodies there, too.
By mid-May, the beginnings of summer had withered the fields around Mosul to a faded yellow. A mix of desert dust and pounded masonry settled everywhere. It was already almost 105 degrees at midday, and the firefighters' ever-present overalls had left V-shaped tan lines at their throats.
The unit was now 20 strong, and they had supplemented the red truck with an old fire engine that leaked water onto the compound's tarmac. ISIS held a slowly shrinking swath of territory around the old town, defending it with snipers, IEDs, and car bombs. They trapped thousands of civilians there with them, including relatives of some of the firefighters, who kept in touch with furtive phone updates.
A murky pall hung over the contested area as plumes of black smoke rose and merged. Ambulances wailed past the fire station every few minutes, carrying casualties to hospitals outside the city. Occasionally, the firefighters were able to pull people from the rubble alive, but mostly they dealt with the dead—there were now 460 names in Shabaan's book, and he expected to have written more than 2,000 by the time they finished picking through the destruction.
The men had made the headquarters theirs, finding furniture, hanging curtains, and patching the missing windowpanes with Smurfs and SpongeBob SquarePants wrapping paper. There was running water now, and even a couple of hours of electricity most nights.
They had settled into a routine. Shabaan and Colonel Hassan formed part of a core group of four that worked six days a week. The rest took turns on overnight shifts. Their duties were usually finished by late afternoon, so they would wash the day from themselves, then take plastic chairs out onto the front step and share a pack of cigarettes. From there, they could just see the old town and the Great Mosque of al-Nuri and its famed leaning minaret, at least until June, when ISIS blew it up.
The men happily smoked cigarettes while the women and girls painted their nails and donned brightly colored headscarves—a middle finger to the group who had forced them to shroud themselves in black.
They talked and smoked and kept half an eye on the fighting, nodding toward a particularly big explosion or naming the type of weapon when they saw or heard it: car bomb, rocket, drone, F-16.
Crass humor filled the empty stretches of time. One wizened firefighter asked me to note that his 87-year-old father was on the hunt for a second wife. "My dad stayed at home during ISIS because women were covered," he told me. "But now he stands out on the street so he can watch the woman pass by. Don't worry, it all still works." The men broke into laughter.
They still hadn't been paid. Their hope was that salaries would begin again when the city was completely retaken, perhaps even including back pay for the time they worked under ISIS. But so far they had heard only secondhand promises from the government. The dinners they shared in the station consisted of whatever they managed to pool together, often just the flatbread Colonel Hassan's son sold and perhaps a shared can of cheese.
I followed the crew on more bleak missions. One was in a long-neglected and now badly damaged neighborhood on the city's western outskirts. As the army closed in, ISIS had herded families inside a house, then carried explosives and cans of petrol after them. By accident or design, the resulting blast killed 13 people.
"They brought us here to be victims. They didn't let anyone escape," a wild-eyed man with white stubble on his face and neck told me. He was a street away when it happened and managed to pull the charred bodies of his nephew and nephew's daughter out so he could bury them in a nearby garden. He had not dug the girl's grave deep enough. "She was here," he said, face suddenly contorted. "But the dogs dug her up and ate her."
Nearby, a young father with burns on his face and arms watched the firefighters work. He had been inside the house. "I didn't see anything," he said. "It was on top of me in an instant." He produced ID cards of family members killed around him: his wife, his daughter, two sisters. Then he reached into another pocket and retrieved those belonging to another daughter and a son who had died there, too. He held them fanned out for a few seconds, then sobbed and jogged away.
The routine of near constant sorrow had begun to show on the men. More than one confided that their "family relations" had suffered. "None of us make love anymore," a firefighter told me. "We lie with our wives like brothers."
Shabaan said he felt as if his heart were coated in tar, and the smell of death never left him. It was there in his chest when he breathed and in his mouth when he sat down to eat. At night, Jumma thought of the burnt corpse of a baby girl that he had found among the ashes, her arms stretched up as if to embrace him.
"We knew it would be bad," Colonel Hassan told me quietly after another terrible day. "But we never expected it would be like this."
There were some moments of hope. One afternoon, the crane operator from the Hamam al-Alil crew called and breathlessly explained that some of his relatives had escaped ISIS territory and reached a nearby army checkpoint. Hassan ordered a driver to take the red truck and pick them up. It returned half an hour later, crowded with about 20 gaunt men, women, and children. They hadn't eaten in days, so the Civil Defense shared what food they had in the station: some dates, yesterday's bread, and two packets of ramen noodles.
Afterward, the men happily smoked cigarettes while the women and girls painted their nails and donned brightly colored headscarves—a middle finger to the group who had forced them to shroud themselves in black. The crane operator arrived to a tearful welcome. He tried to reimburse his colleagues for the food, approaching with a handful of notes. Colonel Hassan pushed him away roughly. "I didn't do this for money," he said.
The men kept working over the next few months through the final, terrible stages of the battle, as ISIS holed up in a besieged section of the city's ancient center, along with civilians too weak or scared to leave. Airstrikes ravaged the area while security forces lobbed unguided artillery. The Civil Defense crews stuck even closer to the frontlines then, in case there was the possibility of a rescue. Sometimes, to their delight, there was.
The Iraqi army wiped out the final pockets of resistance in early July, bulldozing the ruins on top of the militants. Iraqi prime minister Haider al-Abadi made a triumphant victory speech amid vast piles of rubble and stone, congratulating his troops even as final, brutal clearing operations continued nearby.
A week later, the Hamam al-Alil team accidentally detonated a buried IED as they dug through a damaged building. The blast killed the group's commander and wounded Jumma. When I saw him in August, "the hard man" was already back at work. He limped into the station each morning now, and when he sat down, his knee would not bend properly. In early October, it happened again. This time one of Colonel Hassan's men was hospitalized, his legs lacerated by the explosion.
The scars ISIS left behind in Mosul will not be healed in a generation. Even weighed against Iraq's history of cyclical violence, the cost has been shocking. Thousands were killed, many hundreds of thousands displaced, and the recovery will take years and billions of dollars. Even now, the men of the Civil Defense are still uncovering horrors in the old town. But they are also beginning the slow, steady work of rebuilding. "We are ready to do our duty," Shabaan said one day, looking out from the base's front step. "Collecting bodies, fighting fires, or cleaning streets. Whatever Mosul needs, we are here."

Comic v. Adaptation – iZombie: Where creativity and derivativeness collide.Posted: 05/10/2015 Filed under: Reviews | Tags: TV, Vertigo Leave a comment
I picked up the first issue of iZombie a while ago, back when I was first getting into digital comics. I had just purchased an iPad and was scouring Comixology for some new stuff to read. Seeing the first issue was going for $1, I quickly snapped it up…and didn't love it. I'm not going to lie. More recently, upon hearing the TV series was coming, I decided to revisit the series (Well, the TV premiere tie in sale at Comixology helped encourage me too) and see if a second try would work out better. It sure did.
iZombie #1
Written by Chris Roberson
Art by Michael Allred
Release Date: May 5, 2010
iZombie begins with the story of Gwen Dylan, a gravedigger by day. The first issue plays as your typical (I guess?) 20 something hipster-type working a crappy job scenario, that is until the last couple pages throw at you that she sneaks out once a month, cracks open the skulls of the recently buried and eats their brains. While never really shown in the series, it's addressed a few times that should Gwen go too long without eating a brain, she goes full stereotype and gets all bitey and shamblely.
Shortly after eating her first brain (in the series, not in total) we find that she begins to hear the voices and see the memories of the person the brain belonged too. They yell at her unless she works to solve their murder or whatever unfinished business they want her to take care of.
To aid her in this task, Gwen enlists the help of her only two friends in the world, Scott (a were-terrier) and Ellie (a ghost). Along the way all kinds of craziness gets brought into the story, from Vampires, Mummies and Frankenstein's monster-type creatures, to a Zombie-Abraham Lincoln led government monster force and an ancient society of monster slayers. Hell, there's even a Cthulhu-esque ancient one who resides between dimensions thrown in for good measure. Somehow, the book ties the mythologies of pretty much all of this together in a way that is not only fascinating, but works.
This is where the TV series comes in.
iZombie – Pilot
Written by Rob Thomas & Diane Ruggiero-Wright
Directed by Rob Thomas
Air Date: March 17, 2015
iZombie is a Rob Thomas (Veronica Mars) produced series. It centers around Liv (Rose McIver), a med student who is scratched by a zombie one day at the beach during a minor zombie outbreak. 5 months after the incident, Liv is now working as a coroner's assistant at a morgue and eats the brains of the recently deceased who roll through her doors. Like in the comics, she does gain the memories of the dead, however, here she teams up with a police detective to solve these crimes and just claims she's a psychic.
Liv does not have a scooby gang of friendly monsters to help her out for two major reasons:
- In the TV series, there are no other monsters. Zombies are the only ones who exist in this universe.
- Unlike Gwen from the comics, Liv still carries out her normal life. Yes, instead of hiding away in a crypt, she just keeps hanging out with her family, acting like nothing has changed
While the comic does introduce a bunch of quirky and interesting concepts, the show, for the most part, discards those wholesale. The series takes the most basic elements of the comic's premise and waters it down into what is basically a standard detective show, if the main character was a zombie.
Everything about the show, the dialog, pacing, structure, character traits all feel extremely familiar and as if they were all lifted from a previous Thomas produced show. Thus, the series has been nicknamed by me "Undead Veronica Mars".
The comic is a very weird but very interesting and original take on the old, cliched monster stories. I found it (while sometimes slightly convoluted) very enjoyable. That's why it saddens me that much of that has been stripped away and turned into pretty much a detective procedural that we have all seen before.
Full disclosure: Upon writing this post, I have only seen the pilot of the series. I feel I can glean enough from that episode to determine the general tone and direction the series is taking. HOWEVER, I will follow up with viewing some more episodes and will amend this post should need be.

Eddie and Reggie are only 4 years old, but they showed that anyone can hold their very own Wild Night Out in June 2016.
"We did some tree climbing in the morning, pitched our tent in the garden and then went out on our adventure walk through the fields".
Eddie and Reggie spent their time using their imaginations and pretending to be Peter Pan whilst on the lookout for Captain Hook.
"We didn't find Captain Hook, but had a lovely BBQ and cooked yummy sausages when we got back".
Eddie and Reggie enjoyed their Wild Night Out and raised £30 for the Youth Adventure Trust.
It doesn't matter how little or big you are, anyone can hold their very own Wild Night Out. There is adventure in all of us, all you have to do is release it, plan your night – and day – with friends, family and/or colleagues and in the process, why not help raise money for the Duke of Edinburgh's Award and Youth Adventure Trust?

Shirt here! //. Shorts here! //.Shoes here! // Bag here! // Earrings here!
Good evening everyone! Today it started to snow again here in cold Bern. So I have been dreaming more and more about Spring! Colorful clothes, shorts and flowers, I can't wait! I found this outfit in Yoins website and I think it is so boho and springy eheh. I personally love the bucket bag style and this kind of shoes, aren't they cute? Denim shorts are obviously a must have for spring and this style of tops is everywhere now! I also love the color combination. I don't usually use earrings but I found this too cute to ignore. Also, I want to start accessorizing my outfits more and this sounded like a good way to do it. Ahh, I can't wait for the warmer weather when I can start using all these beautiful pieces!
One think I found out in this website are original headbands, I can't find them in a lot of places! I love to wear them when the sun is out <3. I also found a section on the latest fashion dresses online sale and fashion sexy tops for women. Check it out for some more inspo xo.
Did you know about this brand already? What do you think?

Encontrei este outfit no site da Yoins e acho-o tão boho e primaveril eheh. Pessoalmente adoro o estilo desta mala e este tipo de sapatos, não são amorosos? Uma coisa que encontrei neste site foram headbands originais, não as encontro em muitos sítios! Adoro usá-las quando o sol está a brilhar <3.

BRUNSWICK — Katherine Wilder and Margaret O'Connell first talked about getting married in 2009, but they didn't know how to make that happen until it became a legal possibility in Maine on Dec. 29, 2012.
Wilder and O'Connell, accompanied by their dog Blue, were one of the first same-sex couples to get married in Brunswick on Saturday.
The town office was open 9 a.m.-noon to issue marriage licenses for couples eager to take advantage of the new state law. Seven couples obtained marriage licenses that day, according to the town clerk's office.
"It feels wonderful. It's something that we've been looking forward to," O'Connell said. "We got our domestic partnership in 2010 to legally protect ourselves, and now we just want to legally protect our marriage."
"It's about our future," Wilder added.
Maine voters approved a referendum on Election Day last year that legalized same-sex marriage. Several municipalities, including Portland, Falmouth and South Portland, opened their offices on Saturday to issue marriage licenses.
In addition to having a clerk provide marriage licenses, Portland had a notary public available to make wedding vows official. Maine no longer has a waiting period before couples can get married. In Falmouth, the town clerk's office opened at midnight for two couples who made appointments ahead of time.
Town Clerk Fran Smith said Brunswick decided to hold special hours on Saturday at the request of a few citizens and town councilors.
"Considering (the same-sex marriage measure) won by a 2-1 (margin) in Brunswick, we decided to open," Smith said.
Town Council Vice Chairman Ben Tucker offered to perform marriages on the spot.
"I'm always been a supporter of marriage equality," Tucker said. "… (Today) demonstrates Brunswick's commitment to equality and that Brunswick is a welcoming and diverse community."
State Rep. Matthea Daughtry, D-Brunswick, was on hand to congratulate the couples.
"I grew up with two aunts who are gay," Daughtry said, " … and when I was in elementary school I used to draw my family tree, which had two women – and I used to get teased about it when I was little – so I've been waiting to see this my whole life."
Before Saturday, the town clerk's office had asked couples to make appointments to receive marriage licenses that day, but that didn't stop them from helping two couples who came in unexpected.
Rose Strong and Joanne Graziano, of Pennsylvania, were visiting family in town when they realized they could get married in a state that would legally recognize their vows.
(Under state law, couples where neither partner is a Maine resident may obtain marriage licenses at any municipal office in the state.)
"We were supposed to leave this morning, but heard that there was some bad weather moving up the coast," Strong said. "So we thought we'd leave tomorrow and thought we would do this today. We were planning on later in the year, but we figured we'll strike when the iron's hot."
The two have been together for 26 years and eventually plan to move to Maine, she said.
Since marriage for same-sex couples is not recognized in Pennsylvania, their marriage will only be recognized in nine states, including Maine, and Washington, D.C.
"Considering I'd like to move up here sometime, it's nice to know that it will be legal here in Maine," Strong said. "Hopefully the Supreme Court will rule that (the Defense of Marriage Act) is unconstitutional – and to tell us that we can't get married anywhere in the country is unconstitutional – and that will change it all."

Katherine Wilder and Margaret O'Connell were married by Town Council Vice Chairman Ben Tucker at the Brunswick Municipal Building on Dec. 29, 2012, the day same-sex marriage became legal in Maine.
Elizabeth Haskell, assistant Bath city clerk, left, on Monday, Dec. 31, 2012, helps Grace Meredith Small and Kathryn Parnell, both of Bath, obtain the first marriage license issued to a same-sex couple in the city.
Joanne Graziano and Rose Strong, of Pennsylvania, have been together for 26 years. They decided to tie the knot last weekend while visiting family in Brunswick.

In 2009, after a fruitless search for easy to clean, fun to play with, non-plastic play food to give to the little folks in our lives for the holidays, I decided I would just have to make what I was looking for myself. Now seven years later, I'm a mom and am even more passionate that toys should be safe and that play should be fun. In addition to our Almost Edible fleece play food line, in 2013 we branched out into other handcrafted toys and child accessories that help make raising a plastic free family easier.
Pumpkin enjoys picking out new prints of fabric in the store (many of the new flannel prints are ones he picked). He also enjoys setting up the booth and helping organize the fleece foods and other products. He loves to help run the booth and can be found at most of our local events "working" behind our table and being ridiculously cute. After turning four Pumpkin started following in mama's footsteps and designing. He has lots of big ideas and has started learning to use the sewing machine on his own.
Rutabaga is the newest member of Roxy Roodle. She likes unfolding the fabric shelves and shredding important papers in her spare time. She takes her job as quality control tester very seriously. Her fierce sense of personal style and love of wearing her babies has inspired our doll carriers and play clothes.
Roxy is our toy poodle with a big personality who likes dressing up, going to the park, sunbathing, and fleece veggies. We named our store after her because she is just so darn cute.
Romey is our lovable miniature poodle who enjoys long walks and going to the farmers market. A lot times Romey can be found asleep under our farmers market booth.

Posted by Pepper on January 12, 2013
I don't have much to say today. My mind is foggy. My heart is heavy. I am tired. I am unwell. Nothing seems right. My work, it is killing me. I know I never really wrote about the harsh difficulties I face. I don't know if I ever will. There is so much to say, yet, I don't know how to say it. I deal with deadly toxic matter on a daily basis. Some days are unbearable. Why am I still here? I don't know.
Mint and I recently faced a massive disappointment. We really began to question one of our past decisions. Did we make the wrong choice earlier? I don't want to be cryptic, so I won't talk about it now. Right now, I feel like we are in the midst of a very turbulent ride.
I am scared of the different possibilities. I am tired of the unknown. I want this to end soon. I want certainty and clarity. Please send us your good wishes, people. All you lurkers too.
These are times in which I remind myself, atleast I have my loved ones healthy and safe. I don't have to worry about where my next meal will come from. So with that thought, I will try and smile.

January 12, 2013 at 9:09 pm
My sincerest best to you as you go through this difficult time….for me, if my work situation is difficult, other areas of my life sometimes seem to fall apart. We just spend so much of our time at work, with work-mates, supervisors and others that there has to be something redeeming or positive in the work relationship for us to cling to. I hope that things get into a better place for you (and Mint).
January 12, 2013 at 9:46 pm
Here is a lurker coming out in open just to send good wishes. Don't worry and keep patience. Things will sort out soon and whatever happens will be for good. Have been in the same situation as you with hubby in same school( possibly, guessing here though) and me away waiting for some kind of certainty.

January 13, 2013 at 12:29 am
I'm absolutely in the same set of mind at the moment, so many confusions, major confusions over past decisions, professional life is in a big mess, and looking in every direction for the ray of hope and clarity…
So I completely understand your state and my best wishes for you and Mint, I wish you the best and may your past decisions on which you have a doubt, prove to be good for you… Good luck dear and keep faith, that's what I'm advised too…:)
January 13, 2013 at 1:43 am
Chin Up, Pepper!! Things will only get better. Loadsa good wishes coming your way !!
January 13, 2013 at 2:28 am
Pepper dear -you are very young and life is very complex.
Do not worry -there is Bhagavaan who looks after the tiniest creature in this Brahmaanda and so He will never let anyone down.Just Be!
Yes -it is easier said than done but my PRAARTHANA is there for you.
January 13, 2013 at 4:06 am
Lurker commenting for the first time…Part of being an adult is having to make decisions constantly. I am close to 40 and I still struggle with it. But with experience, I am learning that if you make a mistake, it is best to let it go rather than keep rehashing it. You also learn to prioritize and let go, things which are important (but less important in the overall scheme of things). Hope you feel a lot better soon.
January 13, 2013 at 5:04 am
Good Luck! May everything go well and we get to see a post that says UP!
January 13, 2013 at 8:38 am
this too shall pass gal; have hope; smile and spread sunshine. Wishing you & Mint the very best 🙂

In 2003, producer John Cuniberti (Joe Satriani, The Dead Kennedys) expressed interest in working with Florent, whom he described as "the new Joe Satriani with a style of his own." Dreamtown, Florent's first solo album, was recorded at The Plant Studios in Sausalito, California, and the band featured Carole Atem, drummer Jeff Campitelli (Joe Satriani) and bass players Michael Manring and Matt Bissonette (Joe Satriani, Ringo Starr, Don Henley, Brian Wilson, David Lee Roth, Christopher Cross, Elton John).

Nicknamed "Shredder Boy" by some great Hawaiian musicians, Florent became the first Tahitian to be nominated for a Grammy Award in 2006, as part of the Hawaiian Slack Key Kings guitar project, in the "Best Hawaiian Music Album" category. In 2008, Florent and the other artists involved in the same project received a second Grammy nomination and won a Hoku Award – the Hawaiian equivalent of the Grammy Awards – in 2009.
In 2008, Florent and Carole performed live in Tahiti with Michael Angelo Batio. They performed with him in Tahiti again in 2009, along with Michael Manring. The 2008 concert was also the opportunity for Florent to release Silver Flame, a collection of original material he had recorded over the past few years following Michael Angelo Batio's advice.
That same year, Florent revealed to the guitar community a new guitar technique he calls "Slide Picking", which he invented and had been developing for the past 15 years. Guitarists such as Jennifer Batten (Michael Jackson, Jeff Beck), Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal (Guns N' Roses), Mattias Ia Eklundh, Alex Skolnick (Testament, Ozzy Osbourne), Michael Angelo Batio and many other world-class musicians have praised Florent's unprecedented approach, which they consider "fantastic" and "very innovative".
In 2012, Florent performed in Tahiti with Virgil Donati and Michael Angelo Batio. Later that year, Michael also joined Florent on stage during one of his clinics in Hawaii. Florent Atem is also featured in Michael Angelo Batio's new studio album entitled "Intermezzo," on which he performs a passage he composed as well as a guest guitar solo.

I can always find a way to pack another pair of shoes.
Written by Annie, Posted in health and beauty, running, travel
CAPES [something empowering] It is quite magical to hear Lance Armstrong congratulate you on your personal best time for a distance run. Nike+ GPS iPhone application – I'll see you in the morning!
COFFEE [latest trend or addiction] When I travel, I use contact cases to spare more luggage space. Instead of taking large items that I only need a tad bit of, I put a few pumps in my color-coded-cases. This way, I can justify bringing an additional pair of shoes.
THE COLOR ORANGE [something noteworthy] I leave for Sierra Leone in 2 weeks. This will be my second time to the great continent of Africa this year and second time to SL. But unlike my last trip to Africa and SL, my layover time has been compromised…unless I can figure out a way to get by customs and into the city of Paris and back to my gate in under 1 hour.

Business Tales From The Campfire
Tuesday, July 12, 2016
At Cubism Law, rather than simply look at a client's immediate legal challenges, we attempt to consider the clients legal and commercial needs as a whole. To this end, we have spent some time recently, on the subject of Storytelling in Business.
Pretty much all major brands and many minor brands tell a story about who they are, where they come from and what they stand for. These stories can be used for talking to customers, suppliers, staff and almost anyone involved in the workplace. They create a connection and a shared understanding. These stories are an essential tool in building up brand awareness and helping to acquire new business, as well as maintain existing business.
We have been telling stories for thousands of years and these skills, in recent years have been applied to the working environment. Why? Quite simple really. A well told story is received by the listener in the
part of the brain that engages an emotional response and helps to make decisions. There is much more to this, but that's where it starts. There are of course a few rules to learn and apply but this can be easily achieved with practice.
I recently gave a seminar to a select audience on "Storytelling in Business" We have put together a short video of part of that seminar, to give a taste of what is possible with story telling.
Please feel free to get hold of David Salamons if you would like to discuss your story and how to apply it into your dealings in business.

More information about the upcoming major release has been revealed in the last two IRC channel meetings with Maxthon's main developers, and as expected, Johnnylegend (you should have read this name several times by now) posted both logs on his blog.
If you have been following this blog you would know that a new engine will be available to Maxthon 3 in addition to Trident (IE's rendering engine). the new engine is "faster and more [compatible with] standard[s]" and opensource, this means we were left with two choices: Webkit and Gecko, this time we know that it's officially Webkit and this is definitely good news. 😀
Why, you ask? Webkit is basically an attention magnet today, many consider it one of the best rendering engines ever made, it was even rumored once that Microsoft is considering it for new IE versions (which is false, of course). There is no doubt that the super speedy Webkit engine is a big factor in attracting people to Google's Chrome too.
On the good side: with Maxthon's various enhancements and Chrome-like speed, it would be a bless to use Maxthon even more, all the quirks and bugs of Trident will be long gone and you can always switch engines when you stumble upon a site that doesn't work with it or use both at the same time.
But on the bad side: the installation size will grow in size to perhaps 8~9 mbs, but this is only If Webkit will be bundled with Maxthon (technically it's illegal to bundle a GPL licensed code to a proprietary licensed software, but we will wait and see how this will work out). Additionally, many IE-only features might be removed as IE toolbars support, but again, we don't know yet, it's all speculations at this point.
And as the buzz around Maxthon 3 continues, a Chinese site has recently made an interview with Jeff Chen, Maxthon's manager, where it was also revealed that version 3 will be definitely out by 2010, you can read the automatically translated article here.
Stay tuned for more Maxthon 3 news and rumors!

A restaurateur who Los Angeles prosecutors say forced his girlfriend to abort their child against her will by secretly drugging her has been sentenced to nine years in prison. So reports The New York Daily News.
The defendant, Joshua Woodward, pleaded no contest to attempted murder. Prosecutors say he secretly administered then 39-year-old Gail Greaves with the early-term abortion drug misoprostol both orally and vaginally, during foreplay, shortly before she miscarried in October 2009. Greaves became suspicious after she noticed a powdery substance in her underwear after an intimate encounter with Woodward. She miscarried several hours later.

Twitter emphasises the quantity of followers you have. Emblazoned on the Twitter profile is the amount of moments you've Tweeted, the amount of individuals you stick to as well as number of people next you. It is like some badge of honour, buy Instagram followers as if uncooked figures necessarily mean one thing important.
Needless to say, the volume of followers you've is largely unimportant. You can have a million followers, but if none of these communicate with you, if none of these do just about anything as a consequence of your Tweets or if none of them get everything when you are in business, what is the place? However , you might have just ten followers who all interacted and who all were faithful consumers.
Nevertheless, people are eager to receive additional followers – since the entire Twitter set up emphasises the difficulty. People today come to feel rather undervalued if their close friends have much more followers than they will muster. Similarly, business owners enter into aggressive circumstances, seeking to get extra followers than their rivals.
There is lots of fantasy regarding how to obtain much more followers, and also some cranky, underhand approaches which increase your follower number, but small else. Now, for that to start with time, a long-term examine has seemed in the growth of Twitter followers in excess of time in more than five hundred customers and 50 percent one million Tweets.
The investigate confirms that you just attain followers when – surprise, shock – you will be social. That's correct, maintain discussions, chat to folks and you simply quickly surface extra fascinating and therefore far more likely for being adopted.
The examine also demonstrates a few items you must Stay away from for those who want to acquire followers.
Stay clear of these to get Twitter followers
Astonishing because it may seem, hashtags are destructive influencers of follower development – especially if you use them for that sake of them, or in the event you rely on them excessively
Twitter is frequently full of damaging factors, like complaints or criticism. But negativity helps make you much less desirable to other individuals, so that you will not develop your follower rely
Self target
Converse about oneself lots and folks don't need to follow you
Do these to get additional Twitter followers
When you have a great deal of @replies with your Twitter stream, you acquire more followers
Be handy
Deliver practical information and facts that features a URL to original information. This is certainly major mainly because it encourages "retweeting" that's also connected with enhanced follower counts.
Show your site
Folks love to comply with people close by. Once you demonstrate your locale, you gain a lot more followers

Are this year's Super Bowl ads pushing the limits of political correctness, or do people need to lighten up? A Volkswagen ad featuring a white office worker from Minnesota with a Jamaican accent had some crying racism. Now, a new ad from Coca-Cola is getting a similar reaction. Is the outrage justified?
The VW ad has been much discussed. And while some have called it offensive (New York Times columnist Charles M. Blow said the ad was like "blackface with voices), many in Jamaica are embracing the commercial. In fact, the island's government has endorsed the ad.
But what of the Coke commercial? The minute-long spot opens on a thirsty Arab man and his stubborn camel in the desert. He sees an enormous bottle of Coke in the distance and begins to walk toward it. Unfortunately for the man, he's not alone. A group of cowboys also want the Coke. Same with a bus full of glittery Vegas showgirls and a gang of motorcycle riders.
The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, or ADC, has called the Coke ad racist. "Why is it that Arabs are always shown as either oil-rich sheiks, terrorists, or belly dancers?" said Warren David, president of the ADC, to Reuters.
Imam Ali Siddiqui, president of the Muslim Institute for Interfaith Studies, said, "The Coke commercial for the Super Bowl is racist, portraying Arabs as backward and foolish Camel Jockeys, and they have no chance to win in the world."
He's got a point. At the end of the ad, viewers are invited to vote online for who they think should win the race to get the bottle of Coke. Oddly, the man with the camel isn't among the choices. He literally can't win.
Others who have viewed the Coke spot on YouTube and other social networks have chimed in. One user wrote, "Not racist but plays upon stereotypes very heavily." Another posted, "I don't see this ad as being racist at all and certainly I do not believe Coke intended to slight Arab people. Women and cowboys could just as easily complain about this ad too, I only wish I could have voted for the men on the camels. I really think all the people complaining that this is racist should lighten up a bit."
We spoke with Ann-Christine Diaz, an editor from AdAge.com, about the controversy surrounding the spot. When asked if she thought some companies deliberately push the boundaries during the Super Bowl, she said, "Yes, I believe that some do, but that's not to say that VW and Coke were intentionally being controversial. … That said, the point of the Super Bowl is to entertain and draw eyeballs, so it's kind of a wasted opportunity if you don't do something surprising, and controversy often goes hand in hand with that."
Diaz says a lot of companies test "the hell out of things to help them identify what audiences will approve of or get excited about. Yet I don't believe that necessarily pays off in the end."
So is all this coverage surprising? Not really, according to Diaz. When it comes to the Super Bowl, so many people have so many outlets to express their opinions. "That's a recipe for media coverage."
Couple killed by bus while having S3X along a busy highway (PICTURED)
Two love birds died while playing the 'Adam and Eve' game after the vehicle they had turned into a bedroom was sideswiped by a bus near Kwekwe.
Police confirmed the accident but could not say whether the two were having Sêx or not. However, a source who called our news crew, said it was suspected that the two were having Sêx when the Lord decided to take their souls to heaven!
"Have you heard about two people who died while in the act? I can tell you everything if you call me later," said the seemingly well informed source who spoke on condition of anonymity.
On Friday last week, at around 4am, the 20-year-old man, only identified as Tatenda and his girlfriend whose name could not be published before the next of kin was notified of the death, were driving towards Kwekwe from Harare.
The two, according to the source, pulled over and parked their vehicle, a Nissan Vanette, at a curve at the 185km peg and decided to rehearse the baby-making game. While enjoying 'sausage gymnastics', the source said, a Zupco bus which was going the opposite direction sideswiped the vehicle leaving the right side of the Nissan ripped off.
The two were thrown out of the car, landed on the tarmac and died on the spot. The driverof the bus, Bonface Ncube (35) sustained minor injuries.
Hope in the Clouds
by Cara Hanson
Printer Friendly Version
1 Thessalonians 4:16 and 17
(16) For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
(17) After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
For Christians, the Rapture of the Church will be dramatic and unmistakable. To keep The Hope alive in our hearts, we should take the time to visualize this impending event. Our reality stems from the Word of God, as The Rapture will not be a Hollywood production with Frankie Avalon singing a "Rapture theme song" as he descends a spiral staircase. Jesus doesn't need props; he will shout with an authoritative voice and raise dead Christians up from the grave. God's choice of an accompanying instrument is the trumpet, not the pan flute, so that should get everyone's attention. Surely it will sound skilled and professional, unlike the tentative squawks and squeaks of a novice grade school band. This unimaginable moment will be followed by the gathering of Christians in the clouds when Christians who are alive on earth are taken into the air and are instantly given new bodies.
I have often flown through the clouds in a plane, but I have rarely imagined what it would be like to be in them with my Lord and other Christians from all times. Having inquisitive young children has made me delve further into this concept. Will we be able to walk in the clouds, and if so, will there be an adjustment period, during which we stumble around until we get our "cloud legs"? Will there be a meet-and-greet, where we get to see Paul, Peter, John, and other venerable saints? How long until we get to talk to Jesus face to face? Will former airport employees be with him, instructing us to "stay behind the yellow line"? How will we find a voice to speak when we fall on our knees before our Lord?
The timing of the Lord's return will be according to God's plan, and it will happen like a "thief in the night" (1 Thess. 5:2). How often do we look up at the clouds in expectation that our Lord could return at any given moment? When we peer out of our rain-splashed windows, do we wait with eagerness for his possible arrival? Most of the time, clouds are simply a reminder to us that we'd better bring along a raincoat or umbrella. The kids and I sometimes play the "Clouds" game while lying in the grass on a breezy summer afternoon. If the clouds are billowy, their shapes might remind us of a majestic castle or a cottontail rabbit. So far, no one has said, "That one looks like Jesus–could this be him?"
Early one Easter morning when our daughter was three, Dave entered her bedroom and heralded some joyful news: "Jesus is risen!" he announced. Grace, who usually greeted the dawn with the speed of a snail crossing an interstate highway in a blizzard, leaped out of bed with excitement. "Is he in the living room?" she asked breathlessly. Before Dave could explain, she bolted out of her room, barreled down the hallway, and stopped abruptly when she didn't find our Lord sipping orange juice at the breakfast table. The Hope of Christ's return was alive and well in our young child.
The return of our Lord is so prevalent in Grace's mind that she actually makes plans for the event. The self-appointed Cruise Director of the Kingdom, she is already making comments such as, "When Jesus comes back, I'm going to dance with him forever!" As she demonstrated the dancing for me, I watched with awe as she freely and joyfully pirouetted around the living room. Yes, I realized, he probably will dance with us, and it won't be the Hokey Pokey or the Chicken Dance. Grace's Paradise is one in which Jesus spends one-on-one time with her, engaging in all of her favorite activities: playing with dolls, practicing ballet, and jumping on a King-size bed. What would The Hope be, if it wasn't something that we could eagerly anticipate?
All of this Hope-building did have a down side one afternoon, when Dave decided to distract our kids from their contest entitled, "Who Can Whine the Loudest?" He pointed outside and gasped dramatically, "Look who's out on our deck? Could it be? Is it…is it JESUS?!!!!!!" Admittedly, this announcement did distract them for a nanosecond, but the whining was quickly replaced by blood-curdling shrieking as Grace dropped what she was doing and ran for the hills. She was frightened beyond words at the thought that the time had come and our Lord was at the door! After the neighborhood dogs finally stopped howling at her high-pitched squeals, Dave realized that his ruse did not exactly bring the desired effect. We had a good laugh, but the whole episode made me question how prepared we really are for our Lord's return.
What if we lived every moment as if Jesus was going to return in that instant? I certainly wouldn't want it to happen during an awkward or embarrassing situation. (Oh, Hi, Jesus! I was just, uh…um…thanking that driver for cutting me off so abruptly. Yes, I know, that was a rather unusual way to show my gratitude, but…uh…) God was wise not to give us a clue as to the timing of Christ's arrival. Imagine if God left a gigantic clock in the sky that showed a countdown until the return of Jesus. Wouldn't our behavior change according to how much time we thought we had left? Students never study for their finals at the beginning of the year, but they sure are cramming on the night before exams! Not knowing the time of Jesus' return forces us to stay alert and vigilant at all times.
1 Thessalonians 5:4-6
(4) But you, brothers, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief.
(5) You are all sons of the light and sons of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness.
(6) So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be alert and self-controlled.
Jesus advised his disciples to "keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour" (Matt. 25:13). Even Jesus did not know the time of his return, probably so that he wouldn't have to endure his disciples begging for hints. If we all knew the exact time and date of his return, our lives would cease to run on hope and faith. All of our focus would be aimed toward the final event, and we might lose sight of the present.
When our kids know that a holiday or birthday is coming soon, they lose focus on the day to day activities and concentrate on the future special event. As soon as Thanksgiving comes to a close, they are counting down to Christmas. God, knowing that we are all kids at heart, lovingly concealed the time of Christ's return so that we can focus on our daily walk.
2 Peter 3:10-12a and 14
(10) But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.
(11) Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives
(12a) as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming…
(14) So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him.
Until our Lord's return, we are to look forward to his arrival and dedicate our lives to holiness, love, and service. While we are waiting for Jesus, we should do what he asked us to do. He rebuked the people because they called him "Lord" but did not do what he said (Luke 6:46). His life instructions can be found in The Bible, an effective training manual that contains everything we need for life and godliness (2 Pet. 1:3), unlike today's useless manuals that lead us to assemble a bicycle in ten hours, only to find two extra screws and an upside-down seat. Jesus wants us to eagerly anticipate his return without falling asleep on the job. He rebuked his disciples when they couldn't stay awake for an hour during his time of distress. He exhorted, "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak" (Matt. 26:41).
God understands our weaknesses, and He lovingly gave us The Hope of our Lord's return as an "anchor for the soul" (Heb. 6:19). No matter what trials we are experiencing, we can respond with, "But, Jesus is coming back!" Every day that passes brings us one day closer to the return of our Lord. If only we watched for Jesus with the same zeal with which we watch the weather forecast. Wouldn't it be something if one day the forecast was cloudy with a chance of Rapture?
The Apostle Paul believed that he would still be alive when Christ returned. He wrote as though he was definitely planning on having a front row seat for the event.
1 Thessalonians 4:17
After that, WE who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so WE will be with the Lord forever.
We are not expected to walk around looking up at the clouds in constant anticipation of the arrival of Jesus. For one thing, we would all have stiff necks, and people would be bumping into walls and having all sorts of accidents. But are we planning for the event of his return? If he shows up today, will I shriek in surprise or treat him as a welcome guest whom I have been eagerly expecting? When I look up on a cloudy day, I don't want to think of impending rain. I pray that my heart will reflect the beautiful verse at the end of the Bible, "Even so, come, Lord Jesus" (Rev. 22:20 KJV), for there is hope in the clouds.

MANILA -- Senate Minority Leader Franklin Drilon said that while the tax reform for acceleration and inclusion (TRAIN) bill could pass the Senate on Tuesday, the real battle would be in the bicameral conference committee.
Drilon made this remark noting that there are numerous "disagreeing provisions" between the Senate and House of Representatives versions.
"The bicam could prove to be the real battleground for the passage of the TRAIN, Drilon said in a press statement noting that he expected "tough and tedious" debates on the disagreeing provisions of the measure.
He said that if both chambers fail to arrive at a compromise on every disagreeing provision of the bill, there could be lengthy debates that could derail its approval.
The TRAIN is expected for implementation by January 2018.
Drilon said that the contentious provisions of the measure are the proposed additional excise taxes on petroleum, minerals, coal, and cosmetic procedures.
He also said that reconciling the different proposals made by the Senate and House on sugar and sweetened beverages, automobiles, value-added tax (VAT) zero rating and lifting of VAT exemptions, is also expected to difficult.
Also expected to be the subject of debates are the earmarking provisions of the bill and exemptions provided to various sectors, among others.
The Senate's version of the TRAIN approved excise tax on petroleum products. However, the imposition of the petroleum taxes could be suspended depending on certain factors, namely the prices of the Dubai crude oil and the inflation rate vis-a-vis inflation targets.
It has also approved lower taxes for sugar-sweetened beverages, except those that use high fructose corn syrup, which will be slapped with higher taxes.
Moreover, it also adopted a 10-percent excise tax on cosmetic procedures for aesthetic purposes.
Also among its amendments is a 3,000-percent increase in coal taxes, to be implemented in three tranches until 2020.
From the current PHP10 excise taxes on coal which will be increased to PHP100 in 2018, PHP200 in 2019, and PHP300 by 2020.
The Senate also doubled the excise taxes on minerals and mineral products and quarry resources aimed towards responsible mining and environmental protection.
Another Senate initiative is the proposed exemption of prescription drugs and medicines from value-added tax.
