We use third party data analytics providers and this may be considered a "sale" of information under the CCPA.
You may opt-out of these data practices here.
CCPA Rights
Your CCPA rights are described below. You can make a Request to Know or a Request to Delete under the CCPA by submitting a Privacy Request at the top of this page, or by clicking here.

- the business and commercial purposes for which we collect personal information
- the categories of third parties with whom we share the information
- the categories of personal information about you that we disclosed for a business purpose, and the categories of third parties to whom we disclosed that information for a business purpose

Request Verification
Before we can respond to a Request to Know or Request to Delete, we will need to verify that you are the consumer who is the subject of the CCPA request. Verification is important for preventing fraudulent requests and identity theft. Requests to Opt-Out do not require verification.
Typically, identity verification will require you to confirm certain information about yourself based on information we have already collected. For example, we will ask you to verify that you have access to the email address we have on file for you. If we cannot verify your identity based on our records, we cannot fulfill your CCPA request.
For a request that seeks specific personal information, we ask that you sign a declaration stating that you are the consumer whose personal information is the subject of the request, as required by the CCPA.
In some cases, we may have no reasonable method by which we can verify a consumer's identity. For example:
- If a consumer submits a request but we have not collected any personal information about that consumer, we cannot verify the request.
- If the only data we have collected about a consumer is gathered through website cookies (i.e. the consumer visited our website but had no other interaction with us), we are unable to reasonably associate a requester with any data collected; therefore, we cannot verify the request.
Authorized Agent
A California resident's authorized agent may submit a Request to Know or a Request to Delete under the CCPA by emailing us at firstname.lastname@example.com. Requests submitted by an authorized agent will still require verification of the person who is the subject of the request in accordance with the process described above. We will also ask for proof that the person who is the subject of the request authorized an agent to submit a privacy request on their behalf. An authorized agent that has power of attorney pursuant to California Probate Code section 4121 to 4130 must submit proof of statutory power of attorney, but consumer verification is not required.

Warning: Some statistics related to domestic violence and sexual violence are discussed in this post.
[T]he… acts of violence to women aged between 15 and 44 across the globe produce more death, disability and mutilation than cancer, malaria, and traffic accidents combined (2).
Every three seconds a girl under the age of 18 is married somewhere across the world-usually without her consent and sometimes to a much older man (49).
Nearly 200 million women and girls worldwide are living with the traumatic consequences of female genital mutilation (30).
It is an alarming picture of mass termination: prenatal offspring, aborted for no other reason than they happen to be female (19).
There are some nonfiction books that have made me sit back upon finishing reading them, wondering about the world we live in, because the book has given me new eyes to see. Scars Across Humanity has become one of those books. Though I was aware of, broadly, some of the statistics of violence against women, I had no idea how completely pervasive it is at all stages of life. Nor did I fully comprehend or appreciate how totally violence against women has penetrated every level of nearly every society on Earth. Though the #MeToo and #ChurchToo movements have highlighted some of these issues, Storkey gets to the meat of the issue, giving enormous amounts of statistics and serious analysis of the totality of this horrific situation.
The bulk of Scars Across Humanity focuses on statistics and specifics. First, Storkey shows that violence against women is a "global pandemic." There is no part of the world that is untouched by this blight upon humanity. Then, several chapters go over specific instances of violence against women. Abortion is the first level of violence against women. Sex-selective abortions are almost entirely chosen to kill unborn girls. This, in turn, fuels human trafficking as women are moved into those parts of the world where a serious imbalance of adult men and women exists, largely due to sex-selective abortions. Female genital mutilation is opposed by leaders of all major faiths, yet it continues across the world and cases of it in places like England and the United States are on the rise. Early and forced marriage is another global problem. Indeed, in the United States, very few restrictions exist on girls being married off to men–indeed, 20 states have no minimum age of marriage.
The misnomer of "honor" killings continue in some parts of the world and, where it is outlawed, enforcement is incredibly lax. Women are murdered or disfigured for the sake of male notions of "honor." Domestic violence exists in the home and a stigma surrounds it such that it is underreported. Women are at the highest risk when they attempt to leave an abuser, and as many, many instances have shown, they are often not believed when accusations of abuse are made. To help stop the wave of violence in the home, we must work to end stigmas surrounding those who have been harmed by domestic partners, work with law enforcement agencies, and change laws as needed to provide for the greatest possible protection of those towards whom violence is directed. Human trafficking and prostitution are closely tied together and even in those areas where prostitution is made into "just another job," evidence suggests that massive increases in trafficking occur. Rape is a worldwide epidemic and Storkey shows clear instances of how "rape culture" is a real thing that women must deal with when they report this sexual violence. A huge part of ending rape is to educate men and punish them where they perpetrate these vicious acts. War almost inevitably leads to sexual violence, as can be seen in the historical record as well as into today. Rape is sometimes even used as a weapon of genocide in cultural warfare. Women, time and again, are seen as pawns in conflicts and power dynamics of men.
By the end of Storkey's analysis, I was left wondering whether there was any room for hope. Storkey does offer a few points, sometimes highlighting how laws have changed to help fight violence against women (though often noting alongside this the serious lack of enforcement of those same laws). However, it is in the last few chapters that Storkey offers her broader vision of overcoming violence against women. Largely, this includes working both internationally and locally (with specific guidelines and stories of how this has worked) to create and enforce laws and to spread and teach the Christian theology of the equality of all humanity.
From before women are born to their all-too-often violent deaths, women across the planet are attacked in often brutal ways. Scars Across Humanity shines a light upon this darkness and issues a serious, empowering call to end this horror of violence against women. If we are truly serious about men and women being made in the image of God, we must fight this gender-based violence on a global level. Storkey's book is highly recommended.

Another week, another round of enjoyable reads for you, dear readers. It is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, so I've shared a double-feature of posts that work to dispel myths about domestic violence. How many of these myths have you heard or held onto? Other posts include the fine-tuning argument, apologetics in the Bible, fossilized burrows, and the strangeness of the Bible. Check them out, and let me know what you think.
Ten Myths About Domestic Abuse You Didn't Know You Believed – Part 1 – I found this post enlightening about some of the perceptions related to domestic abuse we often absorb without realizing it. I think everyone should read this post to get an idea of some of the difficulties around speaking about domestic abuse. This post has the first 5 myths. Don't forget to check out Part 2 as well.
The Fine-Tuning Argument (Video)– A video which outlines and explains the argument for the existence of God from fine-tuning. I think this is a sound argument well-worth knowing.
Fossilized Animal Burrows in Argentina from the Triassic Period– If the Flood is supposed to explain the overwhelming majority of sedimentary layers on Earth, how do Flood Geologists explain animal burrows? This post presses home the challenge.
Apologetics Started in the Bible– Some reject the need for Christian apologetics, but the fact is that apologetics is found in the Bible itself.
Parents, Please Don't Forget How Strange the Bible Is– If we don't take the whole word of God seriously, it will be hard for our children to do so. We need to be aware of the sometimes strange aspects of the Bible and be prepared to answer our kids' questions about them.
I am pleased to present this wide range of topics to you, dear readers! I hope you enjoy the reads as much as I did. We have posts on the origins of the Gospels from an atheistic perspective, domestic abuse, the ontological argument, soft tissue in dinosaurs, and Bill Nye on abortion. Let me know what you think, and be sure to thank the authors as well!
Where the Gospels Came From– This is a satirical post that highlights how broad swaths of internet atheism tend to view the origin of the Gospels. It's well worth reading as it highlights some of the major errors.
When Staying in an Abusive Relationship is Part of Your Theology– It is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and this post from Christians for Biblical Equality highlights one major difficulty with some theologies- they argue that one should stay in an abusive relationship from theological reasons.
The Probability of God's Existence is Either 0% or 100% (video)– Kenneth Keathley offers this analysis and presentation of Alvin Plantinga's ontological argument. He defines terms and answers some major objections, with the objections offered by atheists themselves.
"Soft Tissue" Found in Dinosaur Bones– Creationists sometimes claim that the finds of "soft tissue" undermine the possibility for an old earth perspective. Is that the case? Here is some analysis of this claim and some more recent findings regarding allegations of blood and other soft tissue found in ancient fossils.
Responding to Bill Nye's Abortion Video– Bill Nye "The Science Guy" made a lot of claims about science and abortion in a video recently. Here's a thorough analysis and refutation of his claims.

After frosty few days, Pence, Trump appear to reach détente
(Erin Schaff/The New York Times via AP, Pool)WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence appear to have come to a détente after nearly a week of silence, anger and finger-pointing. "We are further calling on the vice president to respond within 24 hours after passage," Pelosi wrote. After days of behind-the-scenes arm-twisting, Trump repeatedly singled out Pence during his pre-riot rally, wrongly insisting the certification could be halted as it got underway. Trump then continued to tweet that Pence "lacked courage" as the president's supporters stormed the Capitol. But Trump and Pence apparently chosen to bury the hatchet — at least for the time being.
A look at pardons, clemency in waning weeks of Trump tenure
On Tuesday, Dec. 22, 2020, President Donald Trump pardoned 15 people, including Collins. Papadopoulos was the first Trump aide to plead guilty as part of Mueller's investigation – pleading guilty to lying to the FBI – and served a nearly two-week sentence in federal prison. The White House said Stockman had contracted coronavirus while in federal prison and has served more than two years of his 10-year sentence. Esformes' prison sentence was commuted by the president on Tuesday, but other aspects of his sentence, including supervised release and millions in restitution, remained intact. The White House said the commutation was supported by a number of former attorneys general and said Esformes is in declining health.
Lawmakers who met with Giuliani scramble after COVID news
The president on Sunday, Dec. 6, 2020 confirmed in a tweet that Giuliani had tested positive for the virus. On numerous occasions, Giuliani met with officials for hours at a time without wearing a mask, including hearings last week with state lawmakers in Arizona, Georgia and Michigan. Giuliani spoke for hours last week before a Republican-led committee in Lansing investigating alleged election irregularities. Giuliani traveled last Monday to Phoenix, where he met with Republican legislators for an hourslong hearing in which he was maskless. The Arizona Republican Party tweeted a photo of Giuliani and several state GOP lawmakers standing shoulder-to-shoulder and maskless.
Trump aide banned from Justice after trying to get case info
Heidi Stirrup, an ally of top Trump adviser Stephen Miller, was quietly installed at the Justice Department as a White House liaison a few months ago. The Justice Department declined to comment. Trump shot back at Barr on Thursday, saying the Justice Department "hasn't looked very hard" and calling it a disappointment. "They should be looking at all of this fraud," Trump said. The Trump administration has been working to have liaisons report directly to the White House instead of the agencies where they work.
Biden eyes defeated candidates for key administration roles
President-elect Joe Biden is eyeing several Democrats who lost congressional reelection races last month for key positions in his administration. President-elect Joe Biden is eyeing several Democrats who lost congressional reelection races last month for key positions in his administration. Their consideration continues a long Washington tradition of defeated politicians seeking shelter in a new White House. A decade later, he headlined a rally for her winning congressional campaign. "More than helping the president, these people can help the White House staff dealing with members of Congress," said Card.
Carson says he's 'out of the woods' after battling COVID-19
STERLING, Va. – Housing Secretary Ben Carson is crediting unapproved, experimental treatments with saving his life after he became "desperately ill" following his infection with the coronavirus. There is no medical evidence that the treatments Carson cited worked. A retired neurosurgeon, Carson said Friday that he believes he's now "out of the woods." Trump received the Regeneron treatment through a "compassionate use" exemption, a recognition of the above-and-beyond standard of care he receives as president. In his statement, Carson acknowledged having access to a level of medical care that is unavailable to most Americans.

GOP backs Trump as he fights election results, transition
In fact, election officials from both political parties have publicly stated that voting went well and international observers also confirmed that there were no serious irregularities. And the White House moved to crack down on those not deemed sufficiently loyal as Trump continued to refuse to concede the race. White House officials and Trump political appointees informed career government staffers they were not to begin acting on transition planning until GSA approved it, according to officials familiar with the matter. The White House hasn't provided a "readout" of any call between the president and a foreign leader in weeks. He hasn't met with members of the White House coronavirus task force in months.
Refusing to concede, Trump blocks cooperation on transition
In fact, election officials from both political parties have publicly stated that voting went well and international observers also confirmed that there were no serious irregularities. And the White House moved to crack down on those not deemed sufficiently loyal as Trump continued to refuse to concede the race. Trump is not expected to formally concede but is likely to grudgingly vacate the White House at the end of his term, according to several people around him. The White House hasn't provided a "readout" of any call between the president and a foreign leader in weeks. He hasn't met with members of the White House coronavirus task force in months.

As a result, Bossie is no longer part of the decision-making process of the election challenge effort, "because he can't be at the campaign headquarters and he can't be in the Oval Office," a source told NBC News. Bossie's diagnosis came to light hours after news broke that Trump Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson was positive with Covid-19, and days after White House chief of staff Mark Meadows was revealed to be positive with the virus. Two sources who spoke to NBC News said Bossie tested positive for Covid-19 on Sunday.cnbc.com
HUD Secretary Ben Carson tests positive for coronavirus
Housing and Urban Development Secretary Dr. Ben Carson has tested positive for the coronavirus, a spokesman told CNBC on Monday.

Carson is the first member of President Donald Trump's cabinet known to have tested positive.
Trump election party draws scrutiny as guests test positive
The White House has repeatedly refused to say who else has tested positive, even as the virus continues to spread. The latest White House cluster, coming just a month after Trump's own diagnosis and hospitalization, includes a top Trump campaign official as well as a handful of undisclosed White House staff, officials said. The White House has been increasingly secretive about outbreaks. The White House did not respond to specific questions about the current outbreak, but said that contact tracing had been conducted by the White House Medical Unit, consistent with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines. The latest outbreak came less than two weeks after several aides to Vice President Mike Pence, including his chief of staff, tested positive for the virus.
First lady unseen as Trump restarts campaign after COVID-19
Wolkoff detailed her falling out with Mrs. Trump in a new book the White House has dismissed as full of "mistruths and paranoia." Wolkoff also had confirmed she had Mrs. Trump on tape. President Trump was admitted to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for treatment on Oct. 2, and was sent home three days later. His White House doctor said Trump tested negative for the virus on consecutive days and was no longer considered contagious. Former Trump White House press secretary Sean Spicer said Mrs. Trump may want to be a "little bit more selective" about how she reengages after recovery. Mrs. Trump convalesced at the White House for nearly a month before she resumed a public schedule.
HUD secretary's notes show he's upset with WH appointments
In a reference to the White House Presidential Personnel Office, Carson's notes said: "I am not happy with the way PPO is handling my agency." The office, run by John McEntee, makes political appointments to federal agency positions. "I like John and respect what he is doing, however I am sensing a severe (illegible) of trust," Carson's notes said. There was no immediate comment from the White House or Carson's office. McEntee's appointment to head the personnel office has been controversial. McEntee, 30, returned to the White House in early 2019 after being tapped to lead the White House Presidential Personnel Office, an influential posting that coordinates the screening and hiring of thousands of federal government workers.

(AP Photo/Susan Walsh)WASHINGTON If speaking time at the Republican convention is a measure of President Donald Trumps favor, his family wins by a mile. Instead, the 2020 Republican convention is an exhibit of a party Trump has remade as a largely family-led enterprise. First lady Melania Trump spoke for 16 minutes. The speech solidified his standing as the leading Republican presidential hopeful in 2024.
Trump convention blurs official business and politics
But if the event were held in the West Wing or in another area of the White House that is regarded as a federal room, White House officials would be prohibited from attending even while off-duty. The officials said the events on the White House grounds were consistent with previous presidents using the White House residence for political videos. Any government employees who may participate will do so in compliance with the Hatch Act, White House spokesman Judd Deere said in a statement. "Political parties come and go, but it doesnt belong to one political party or the other.The Trump administration is hardly the first to mix business with politics. The Trump administration has repeatedly stepped over the line, ethics experts said.
HUD revokes Obama-era rule designed to diversify the suburbs
WASHINGTON The Trump administration said Thursday that it is revoking an Obama-era housing regulation designed to eliminate racial disparities in the suburbs, a move that fair housing advocates have decried as an election year stunt designed to manipulate the fears of white voters. In a tweet addressed to The Suburban Housewives of America, President Donald Trump made his intended audience clear. Fair housing advocates said the new regulations water down the previous requirements to the point of meaninglessness. Fair housing advocates says the latest HUD move attempts to skip over the traditional months-long notice and comment process where stakeholders are inviting to weigh in on a proposed rule change. Biden has said he would implement the Obama administrations housing rule.
Fair housing groups slam Trump's suburban racial rhetoric
Trump has repeatedly threatened to repeal a 2015 initiative that requires local governments to address historic patterns of racial segregation. He promised more details on the housing issue next week. Fair housing advocates also point out that Trump is attacking a straw man of his own creation. Yentel said Ben Carson, Trump's HUD Secretary, suspended it as soon as he came into the building.Efforts to seek comment from HUD on this issue were unsuccessful. It's widely expected that Trump's housing proposal will essentially be a version of that.
Trump lags Biden on people of color in top campaign ranks
Twenty-five percent of the Republican president's senior staff are nonwhite, compared to 36% of Bidens senior staff. Along with adding more people of color to his campaign, Biden has promised an administration that looks like America if he is elected on Nov. 3. His campaign declined to discuss minority representation on the campaign staff. The Biden campaign said LGBTQ staff and staff of color hold such positions as senior advisers, deputy campaign managers, national coalitions director, chief financial officer, chief operating officer and national press secretary, among others. Trumps campaign defined its senior staff as senior leaders who meet regularly to make decisions.

(AP Photo/Riccardo De Luca)ROME Doctors at the Vaticans pediatric hospital said Tuesday they have successfully separated conjoined twins whose skulls were fused back-to-back, an exceedingly rare surgery for an equally rare congenital defect. Such cases of conjoined twins occur once in every 2 million births or so. The Bambino Gesu Pediatric Hospital, which is Vatican-owned but operates within the Italian public health system, brought the twins and their mother to Italy soon after their birth. The hospital said the toddlers are recovering well a month after their third and definitive separation surgery on June 5.
HUD secretary says he'll 'work' Trump on athletes kneeling
Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson said he believes that players are kneeling to protest police brutality, not because they disrespect the flag. It has become clear that this policy was wrong and detracted from the important message of Black Lives Matter, the directors said. Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick sparked the issue four years ago when he refused to stand during the national anthem because of his views on the countrys treatment of racial minorities. Kaepernick has not played since that season as no team has been willing to sign him. Trump has returned to the topic frequently over the years as he considers it politically beneficial, saying at one point that those players who dont stand for the national anthem should be fired.
Trump eyes racial equality debate through economic lens

Key Democrats spurn push to defund police amid Trump attacks
Key Democrats, including presumptive presidential nominee Joe Biden, are rejecting liberal calls to defund the police as President Donald Trump and his allies point to the movement as a dangerous example of Democratic overreach. Other opponents of the movement include Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., a former presidential candidate and one of two black Democratic senators, and Rep. Karen Bass, D-Calif., head of the Congressional Black Caucus. Municipal officials in Minneapolis have endorsed the defund the police language backed by some civil rights activists and a handful of progressive House Democrats. Protesters over the weekend also painted DEFUND THE POLICE in large yellow letters on a street close to the White House. Some Democrats described it as bad politics, even if most Democrats shared the desire to overhaul policing.
After George Floyd killing, Trump avoids talk of racial bias

PUBG Mobile India Launch – New Teaser Video "PUBG Mobile India Coming Soon" Leaked on YouTube!
This morning was not an ordinary one for the PUBG Mobile India fans, as the people who have subscribed to the PUBG Mobile India's Official YouTube Channel, including me, received a notification stating, "All new PUBG Mobile Coming to India," with a "PUBG Mobile India Coming Soon" poster in the whole video that was a few seconds long that is attached above. But, the leaked teaser was deleted minutes after it started to went viral. This might be a clear sign that PUBG Mobile India Launch could be happening very soon, and all the PUBG Mobile fans in India will once again be enjoying PUBG Mobile officially, like the rest of the world.
PUBG Mobile India Launch – What Could This Mean?
If you are living in India, or maybe any part of the world, you must be aware of the banning of more than 200 applications, and games from the Play Store, and Apple App Store by the Indian Government, on the allegations of private data leak of the Indian users. Unfortunately, PUBG Mobile was among those 200 plus banned applications, and since then the game was inaccessible for Indian users. Shortly after the ban, the game was removed from the Google Play Store and Apple App Store, including the lighter version of the game, which is PUBG Mobile Lite.
Now, the new PUBG Mobile India Launch teaser video has gotten the hopes high for the PUBG Mobile India fans, and if the launch of PUBG Mobile India will happen anytime soon, then this will mean that Indian PUBG Mobile players will once again be able to play PUBG Mobile without VPN and install or update the game directly from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. The re-launch of the game in India will also possibly bring back the PUBG Mobile Lite and everyone will be able to install and play the lighter version of the game as well.
KRAFTON is Working Hard to make PUBG Mobile India Launch Happen
KRAFTON, which is the parent company of PUBG Mobile, has been dropping quite a several hints regarding the PUBG Mobile India Launch. And now, after the "PUBG Mobile India Coming Soon" leaked teaser, it makes the possibilities of the launch even higher. Recently, the company recruited a few Indians for some substantial posts in the company in India and also donated a huge sum of money for the COVID-19 relief in India. This clearly shows that KRAFTON is actively working for the Indian Government, and also to meet the criteria and demands to make the PUBG Mobile India Launch happen as soon as possible.
All these hints and teasers only mean one thing, that the PUBG Mobile India Launch is going to happen very soon, and we might witness the Official Launch of PUBG Mobile in India in the coming days. With the official launch of PUBG Mobile in India, not only all the players will be able to play the game officially, and install/update it from Play Store, but also the players will be able to get better support regarding any issues they might have. Until then, we can only do one thing, and that is waiting a little more, stay safe, and enjoy life.

College Instructor Mr. Tony Milano (center) plays Santa Claus as MPC-Naga brings glad tidings to street children during the holiday season in 'the 'Alay kay Boboy' tribute activities.
Naga City – The Mariners Polytechnic Colleges (MPC) this city has conducted a tribute to Engineer Jaime Lazaro Jimenez, Jr., dubbed as 'Alay kay Boboy', as the institution fondly remembered his 24th death anniversary in fitting charitable activities with the poor.
The affair was commemorated on December 20, 2014, highlighted by gift-giving, games and program participated in by street children from the City of Naga and neighboring municipalities.
It can be recalled that in December 2000, Engr. Boboy (as fondly called by family members and friends) became a victim of a drug syndicate which caused his untimely demise.
The occasion was started with a thanksgiving Mass solemnized by Rev. Fr. Noel O. Nacario. This December's memorial has been different compared to what transpired in the past years as the participants and gift recipients have been extended to children coming from outside the Naga City.
Included in the children who enjoyed the Christmas party and gift-giving came from Barangay Loob of Gainza, Sua in Camaligan, Lipot and San Antonio of Milaor, Camarines Sur.
The joy the children feel during the event cannot be concealed in the smiles sketched on their faces as the Jolibee Fastfood Chain mascot (right picture) entertains them.
The participation of the children from neighboring municipalities was made possible through the idea and initiative of the men and women of the Office of Research and Extension Services(ORES). They were able to reach out to kids in the community via the linkages created by MPC-Naga.
During the program, Executive Vice-President Dr. Gabriel La. Jimenez introduced his brother, the late Engr. Jaime "Boboy" Jimenez, Jr. to the participants. In his address, he explained the advocacy of the late Engineer Boboy especially on his concern for the rights of women and abused children.
Although the occasion was simple, it brought joy to the children. The packed food, fun games and surprises produced smiles on the faces of kids from marginalized families. The mascot of Jollibee Fastfood who danced and mingled with the children made their day enjoyable more so that Santa Claus helped and facilitated the distribution of gifts and pair of slippers.
The successfully conducted activitiy was spearheaded by Dr. Mariel R. Estrella of ORES and ably supported by the NSTP classes and by MPC-Naga's accredited campus organizations. (ER)
Naga City - Mariners Polytechnic Colleges (MPC), this city conducted a 5k open fun run on December 14, 2014 to raise funds for the street children in the city and from barangays in neighboring municipalities.
This was disclosed by MPC-Naga Office of Research and Extension Services (ORES) Director Dr. Mariel Estrella who said "Whatever will be raised in this event will be used to bring good tidings to street children from indigent families this Christmas. It will also be a fitting tribute to the late Engineer Jaime 'Boboy' Lazaro Jimenez. Jr. as we remember him on his 24th death anniversary this December".
Dubbed as 'Dalagan Para sa Kaakian', the event aims not only to raise funds for the street children but for physical fitness purposes for the participants. Aside from ORES, the Physical Education Department of MPC-Naga has lent its hand in organizing the activity.
Three Hundred and Fifty Four (354) registrants composed of students, teaching and non-teaching staff participated in the activity despite the heavy downpour.
The five-kilometer fun run which took-off at 5 A.M. started at MPC-Naga passing thru Peñafrancia Avenue, turned right to Magsaysay Avenue and back to the school campus.
With prizes at stake, three 5K Finishers received cash prizes. They were Renante Lopez (15 mins. & 45 sec.), Michael Lopez (17 mins. & 17 sec.), both of them students of Naga College Foundation (NCF) as they got the 1st and 2nd places, respectively. Rommel Perez (21 mins. & 10 sec.) of MPC-Naga got the 3rd spot. The five consolation prizes from Red Logo Products were given to John Francis Mojal, Christopher Buenaobra, Benhard Longabila, Christian Jardinel and Carlo Serdan.
According to ORES Director Dr. Mariel R. Estrella, "The proceeds from the fun run were utilized in the annual Alay Kay Boboy activity in which the recipients of the food and gifts distributed were the street children from Naga City and from selected barangays of neighboring municipalities. (ER)

I am not one who takes many trips. But this one experience left me with way more than just an enjoyable week. My youth group at Trinity Lighthouse Church decided to try out their very first mission trip. We live in Texas, so we hear constantly of the terrible effects of the hurricanes that strike near the coast. Many people complain about this but do not do anything to help. I am honored to say that I made sure I was involved. We left for this trip summer of 2009 and took a six hour drive to the devastation. Our goal was to make a difference in the lives of the people affected by Hurricane Ike. We partnered up with churches around the nation, who were also willing to help, and went around to the destroyed homes around the area. This not only brought new people in our lives, but gave us all a sense of unity to these new people we were meeting and to the people we were helping. Our tasks included putting in new insulation, adding drywall, and giving the home owners a finished piece of shelter they could call home once again. It is funny how some of the most exhausting periods of time can end up become the most beneficial. This week brought a new meaning to each and every one of our lives. We were no longer just high school kids living for ourselves. This was truly made evident by the homeowner we had helped. We had spent only one week with Barbara but on our leaving her tears showed just how tremendously appreciative she was. I can personally say that I do not need a "Vacation" to give me a worthwhile experience. At times people just want a break, but I feel that were not put on the world for relaxing. Many have been bless with the capability to help those who each and every day try to make the most of a life that is not going to well for them. So I will proudly call this mission trip a vacation. It was a vacation from living an everyday selfish life. It took until after the trip for me to truly realize what an experience it was. But I left that place a new person. I had discovered that everyday could be a vacation. Life is not about "us", it is about being that help that is so desperately needed. It is truly gratifying to help others.

Nature's Panoply
by Elouise
Nature's panoply
Unfathomed spectacle
Universe greater than I
Galaxies of marvel and portent
Flung into space beyond comprehension
By One who knows my name
Each hair on my head
Each scar in my body
Each longing of my heart
My beginning and my end
Our lovely musician daughter left a lasting spectacle on the ceiling of her old bedroom—now my office. When I feel lost, lonely or distressed I darken the room, lie down on the sofa, and look at the sparkling ceiling. Tiny glowing stars and dots placed there decades ago, still give off their comforting light.
I think of this every time I hear the word 'panoply.' The vision our daughter created situates me in my little universe here on earth, directly in sight of the One who made and knows me best of all.

Everyone hears it, "You are what you eat", that rings true for your heart health. There are many factors that can cause someone to have a stroke, and some of those factors are preventable. Some common risk factors are high blood pressure, heart disease, lifestyle choices and high cholesterol. Around 70-80% of strokes are caused by blood clots that block an artery that is supplying the brain or neck. Lifestyle changes are some of the more difficult changes to make, but we will help you know what to stay way from and what to substitutes to make that will help keep your heart healthy.
Bad for You Foods:
There is no denying that the following foods are tasty and usually seem to be lying around the office or in the hotels, but they are loaded with trans fats, cholesterol and other heart harmful ingredients.
Muffins, doughnuts, chips and pastries: These are the go-to morning snack for office goers and jet-setters alike. Trans fats are a well known artery blocker which is a top causing of strokes. Steer clear of these foods and opt for fruit and yogurt or check the list below.
Processed and smoked meats: Biggest offenders are hot dogs, bacon, sausages and pastrami. The reason why to stay away from these meats are loaded with sodium and nasty preservatives that are used to keep the meats from going bad. Sodium nitrate have been shown to over the course of time damage vessels and causing arteries to harden and narrow. Just incase you didn't know, those are things you don't want in your heart. Try this: if sandwiches are your thing, then try a tuna sandwich, but if you NEED your turkey then cook it yourself and slice thinly for your perfect sandwich meat.
Diet Soda: Don't be mislead by the "diet" soda. This can increase your stroke risk by 48 percent, so if you are trying to cut down on your stroke risk then substitute the soda for water, iced tea or juice. The researchers don't know exactly what causes the increased risk, but nutritionist recommend to stay away.
Red Meat: People that have large portions of red meat a day have a 42% higher chance of having a stroke because of the high amount saturated fat. Saturated fats gradually clogs your arteries with plaque and makes your blood thicker which ups your chance of a stroke. Instead of red meat try more poultry and other white, even tasty fish.
Good for You Foods:
Water: Drink 5 or more 8 ounce glasses of water a day can cut your stroke risk by up to 53%. Try drinking the water through out the day, not just chugging it before bed, so that your body can absorb it over time.
Fiber: Whole grains, cereal, bread and legumes are the perfect way to get some heart healthy fiber. Fiber lowers your bad cholesterol and provides nutrients that are heart healthy and the perfect combatant against heart disease.
Omega 3 and Protein: Omega 3 fatty acids found in fish like salmon, trout and walnuts can lower your cholesterol which lowers your risk of heart attack.
Low Fat Milk, Cheese and Yogurt: Get some fat free or 1% milk, low fat cheese and yogurt which will keep the saturated fats lower and that keeps your arteries healthier.
Chocolate: A new study shows the more chocolate women said they eat, the lower the risk of stroke. Chocolate is high in calories, fat and sugar, so consume in moderation.
Food isn't the only activity you can do to prevent your risk of stroke. Some other major triggers of strokes are stress, aggression, loneliness and marital discontent. You can read what else you can do to prevent a stroke. If you think you have suffered a stroke, check the stroke symptoms because a small stroke can happen and almost go undetected. Do you have any foods that are tasty, and good for your heart and you? If so please share below.
5 Myths About Cataracts – southeastern michigan health association
Most people have heard of cataracts and most people probably think they know what they are but there are certainly a lot of misconceptions about them. Like with a lot of medical conditions, people often think the worse and tend to believe everything they hear from other people. In the simplest terms, cataracts are a clouding of the normally transparent natural lens within your in. Everyone has a lens within their eye, which just like in a camera, its function is to focus on the objects that you are looking at. Over time this lens changes from being completely transparent to cloudy and at this point your vision starts to deteriorate.
Listed below are my top 5 myths about cataracts
Cataracts make you blind: In theory cataracts can make you blind but in the western world this is extremely rare due to the unbelievable success of cataract surgery. Most people have cataracts removed as soon as they start affecting their vision and removing them early makes the procedure easier.
Not everyone gets cataracts: You may hear people say things like 'my grandma lived until she was 90 years old and never had cataracts' but this simply cannot be true. What is more likely to have happened is that their grandma had cataracts but chose not to have them removed due to various reasons such as being too old or afraid to have them treated. Everyone gets cataracts at some point in their lives and this is a fact of life in the same way that people get grey hair. The average age to get cataracts is about 70 years old but this will vary from one individual to another.
Cataracts form quickly: Generally speaking, cataracts take around 10 years from first starting until they need treating. Occasionally cataracts grow quickly and this is especially the case if you have been involved in any sort of trauma such as a car accident.
Cataracts are skin/film growing across your eye: This is one of the most common myths about cataracts but it is simply not true. Cataracts are merely a clouding of the lens inside your eyes.
Cataract surgery is a big procedure: In the past having cataracts removed was a major surgical procedure which required a general anaesthetic and a long recovery period. With modern technology however, the procedure is now extremely quick and non-invasive. Cataracts are now removed under a local anaesthetic and you will be able to go home the same day with only minor discomfort experienced by most.
I hope this helps clear a few things up about cataracts as you are guaranteed to get one at some point in your life. Cataracts really are nothing to fear and having regularly eye tests will ensure that your Optometrist discusses with you the best time to have them removed.
This article was written by Tim Harwood, who is an Optometrist with over 10 years or diagnosing cataracts and other eye diseases. In addition to working in practice Tim also manages the content for his website Treatmentsaver.com which covers a whole range of useful topics from Botox to Botox prices. Without doubt the recipe for successful surgery is to be fully informed as to the risks and complications that could arise.

Democrats at last night's State of the Union refused to even clap when President Trump called for tougher action against MS-13 gangs, so it's no surprise that any Dem who even thought about getting out of line would first take a visual poll before applauding. This is pretty funny:
Permission to applaud = DENIED! And Manchin didn't want to risk a glare from Nancy Pelosi or his face would have melted faster than those guys who opened the Ark of the Covenant in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

The holiday season always seems to add a few pounds to my midsection. Time to get back on the fitness equipment. I have never been a fan of the treadmill or stair steppers, they feel more like monotonous torture than anything else. The sit down rowing machines are one of my favorites as they hit so many muscle groups.
The piece of art pictured above is actually a rowing machine that uses a container of water as the flywheel. The WaterRower Rowing Machine ($900-$2,500) is designed to emulate the dynamics of a boat moving through the water with their WaterFlywheel. Video of the WaterRower in action after the break.

Lime and soil moisture effects on nitrous oxide emissions from a urine patch
Liming has been mooted as a mitigation option for lowering soil N₂O emissions. This study investigated the effect of soil pH and soil water content on N₂O and N₂ emissions following the addition of synthetic urine (500 kg N ha⁻¹) containing ¹⁵N-labeled urea-N. Soil pH treatments ranged from 4.7 to 7.2 with either saturated or field capacity soil. Dinitrogen and N₂O fluxes were measured from soil cores kept on water tension tables for 85 d following urine-N addition. Soil inorganic N transformations were also monitored over time by destructively sampling soil cores on five occasions over the 85 d. At field capacity, soil pH affected the N₂O fluxes with the lowest cumulative N₂O fluxes at soil pH 5.9. Nitrous oxide losses ranged from <0.1 to 0.4% of ¹⁵N applied in the field capacity treatment but this increased to be 0.4 to 1.7% of the ¹⁵N applied in the saturated treatment. Dinitrogen fluxes were low (<23 ng N₂–N cm⁻² h⁻¹) at field capacity but exceeded 4000 ng N₂–N cm⁻² h⁻¹ under saturated conditions. Cumulative N₂ fluxes increased with increasing soil pH in the saturated soil. The flux ratio of N₂O-N/(N₂O-N + N₂–N) remained high (0.68–0.71) under the field capacity treatment but decreased with time from 0.64 to 0.16 in the saturated treatment. This study suggests that while the use of soil liming has merit for lowering N₂O emissions from urine patches where soils are at field capacity, the resulting NO₃–N will be susceptible to enhanced rates of N₂O and N₂ loss if the soils are wetted up beyond field capacity....

text: Food, Friends, and Filly! Let me first briefly introduce myself, my name is Matt Webber and I'm a first year graduate student at The Ohio State University. My first BPS annual meeting was in 2009 in Boston when I was still an undergraduate at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. This was the experience that made me want to go to graduate school. Before then I always enjoyed work that I had done in labs but was never fully entranced by it. But the experience of going to such a large meeting of people, all of whom were very passionate about their corner of science, and thus being able to find my own corner of science, was incredible. Coming from a physics background I next spent the next 2.5 years in a pure biology lab as a technician but the whole time I had the idea of applying to grad school in the back of my head. I was building my microscopy resume and I knew that the experience was going to be super helpful, and it was; seeing a large lab, before I had only been exposed to smaller labs as an undergraduate, and seeing all the tiny differences that makes was great. Since I got to grad school this past fall I knew that I was going to try to go back to the BPS annual meeting at every possible opportunity. Once I found out that my friend Julia was going to present a poster this year, and that it was in Philadelphia where another friend of mine is in school, I was determined to make it. I looked in every nook and cranny for money from OSU, found some, and here I am! I am very excited to be blogging while at this conference and sharing with everyone the fantastic things that I am able to see while here (I've already had two to three schedule conflicts where there are multiple presentations I want to see at the same time) but today the first thing I want to share is food related. As someone back at OSU told me when I asked what was a must do while in Philadelphia, "It's all about the food." This afternoon I made the very short hop over to the Reading Terminal Market just across the street from the convention center and I was blown away. I've never been in such an eclectic food environment in my life! I love that not only can you buy almost any kind of food to eat right there with you, but it's also an actual marketplace with produce and meat and seafood and gourmet olive oils and vinegar and some on tap! When I walked in it made me feel like this is what a old english town market would have looked like. People making all kinds of food and selling everything, the only thing missing was a jousting competition :) This is a must stop for everyone at the conference and I pretty sure you will find me there every day trying a new place for lunch.
