Defence Secretary accused of poppy hypocrisy after Trump comments
Defence Secretary accused of poppy hypocrisy after Trump comments
Gavin Williamson has been accused of insulting victims of war by backing the poppy appeal launch at the same time as supporting Donald Trump's plans for a build-up of nuclear weapons.
Williamson, the UK's "Defence" Secretary today released an online film clip of himself backing the red poppy appeal. He said he was "remembering those who served [in the armed forces] in the past... and who served in more recent conflicts".
But the Peace Pledge Union (PPU) pointed out that Williamson is talking of remembering the dead while backing policies that contribute to war deaths in the present and the future.
On Sunday (21 October), Williamson responded to Trump's plan to withdraw from a nuclear weapons treaty by saying that the UK government was "absolutely resolute" in its support of the US President's policy. Shortly afterwards, Trump announced he wanted to increase the size of the USA's "nuclear arsenal".
The PPU accused Williamson and his colleagues of contributing to war deaths around the world, many of them through the sale of arms. Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt has ruled out ending arms sales to Saudi Arabia despite the latest international criticism of the Saudi regime.
The UK government also maintains the seventh highest military budget in the world.
Symon Hill of the Peace Pledge Union said, "Ministers insult the victims of war by posing for photos with poppies before returning to their offices to sell weapons to despots and to slash the welfare benefits that so many veterans and others rely on."
The Peace Pledge Union is known for distributing white poppies, which represent remembrance for all victims of war, a commitment to peace and a rejection of militarism. The British Legion, who produce red poppies, say that remembrance should be concerned only with UK and allied armed forces personnel.
Today, Williamson said that the red poppy appeal is also about helping current armed forces members and "future generations" of people in the armed forces. This is far from the original message of "never again" associated with remembrance after World War One.
"Gavin Williamson talks of 'remembering the dead' but his own policies mean that there are more dead people to remember," said the PPU's Symon Hill. "As Williamson rattles his charity tins, children in Yemen are dying with British-made bombs sold with the licences that UK ministers have approved. 100 years after the failure of the 'war to end all wars', Williamson is helping to make another world war more likely with his support for Trump's nuclear build-up."
Steve Heaney, who lives in North Wales and spent nineteen years in the Royal Air Force, is one of several veterans who today challenged ministers' attitude towards Remembrance.
"I have been dismayed and enraged in equal measure to see British politicians cry their crocodile tears of 'never again' at the Cenotaph," said Steve. "Tony Blair laid a wreath in 2002 while planning the invasion of Iraq. Cameron and May take their turn at the Cenotaph while veterans are disproportionately represented in prison populations, as homeless and suffering mental health issues. Shameful."
The Peace Pledge Union, along with other members of the First World War Peace Forum, will hold an Alternative Remembrance Sunday Ceremony at 1pm in Tavistock Square, London on 11 November. Similar events will be held elsewhere in the UK.
White poppies can be bought online or from a number of shops, cafes and groups around the UK.

Does Jump Roping Increase Vertical
Does it really help, or not? In what way can jump roping help increase your vertical jump? These and more will be tackled here!
If you will read articles about ways to increase vertical jump, jumping rope is mostly included under one of the easy and effective exercises to try. It is also known for losing weight and stimulating cardio as well.
The Jump Rope and You
The jump rope training was previously used to build immaculate endurance. These days, its function has prolonged. You can see many athletes use jumping rope as a way to build conditioning, endurance, and stamina that is crucial for competition.
So to answer your question, yes, jump roping can really help you in improving your vertical. If being overweight distracts you from joining in a sports game, then you can also use this exercise to lose weight. It is like hitting two birds in one stone.
It targets your muscles, which are the abs, quadriceps, hamstrings, calves, and glutes. They become stronger if you jump more often. Your thigh muscles and calf muscles are the most vital muscles to strengthen as they contribute to the vertical jump ability of an athlete.
Why does jump roping increase vertical leap?
Strengthening the core is another goal of jump roping. The core transfers the power from the lower body to the upper body, aside from maintaining stability. Jumping rope necessitates both your lower and upper body to be active simultaneously.
Moreover, this exercise helps your body adjust to vertical motion. Most of the exercises push you forward with infrequent side to side and backward movements. When combined with other drills that consist of jumping element (e. g. box jumps and squat jumps), jumping rope can strengthen your core, upper body, and legs.
Wanna know why even MMA fighters and boxers use the jump rope as part of their training routine? It is mainly due to reaction time. It targets quickness of feet and hands. The quicker the jump, the faster the hands move. This coordination also establishes a faster bond between the feet and hands.
It is a form of activity that can be done at any time and anywhere. Although, it is said to function well as a warm-up. Jumping rope for at least ten minutes every training goes a long way toward vertical jump improvement.
Jump Roping Drills to Improve Jumping Abilities
Each of the following jump roping drills is built around your jump rope. These are very convenient to apply as long as you have a jump rope available. You can use any product you want. But still, make sure it is quality made since it will not be the first time you're going to use it.
Hurdle Step
The hurdle step is good for improving one-leg elasticity and power. Begin with fewer reps since the stress on your lower leg is much higher compared to double-leg versions. Shin splints may likely to occur when too much jump roping is done. To start, use only one leg with your knee up to the waist height. Hold up that leg and in position while jumping up and down on your other foot.
Lateral Hurdle Step
Have the same process similar to hurdle step, though the only difference is that you will jump side to side while on the single leg. It integrates ankle/foot complex stability, which makes it challenging.
Quick Feet
Considered as the most important jump roping drill. With both feet onto the ground simultaneously, turn the rope as fast as possible. This could be your starting point if you are not yet familiar with jump roping. Quickness is developed.
Lateral Quick Feet
In this drill, you will need to move from side to side. Your ability to move in a lateral manner is improved. For ankle/foot complex improvement, lateral quick feet is also a good solution as it controls stability while being fast.
Ali Shuffle
Start with a staggered foot. When we say staggered, one foot is positioned backward and the other foot is positioned forward. Hop up and switch your feet. Continue working and at the same time contracting the ground using both your feet.
Double Jumps
This is also ideal for those who are already foot at jumping. Your leaping ability is likely to improve. The power in your lower leg is enhanced as well.
Jump Roping: Ways to Get Better
While a simple exercise, jump roping also requires proper execution as well. Otherwise, potential injury may take place and you might not be able to achieve the speed and power you need to make you jump higher.
One common mistake I've been seeing is that most athletes maintain a high altitude or high jump when jump roping, which is not basically recommended. Instead, keep on the balls of your feet and maintain soft knees. Take it S-L-O-W. Remember, it is not a race or whatsoever.
At the end of the day, measuring your progress is still vital. Why not challenge yourself to do ten jumps, then twenty, and then thirty without stopping? Or, make jump roping a game. Challenge a friend to hop with you until one of you trips up.
Although jump roping doesn't do too much to improve vertical jump, it allows you to use that muscular power and quickness more efficiently. It can help increase your leap in a whole bunch of various ways. So, make sure to include it in your workout regimen to jump higher in a week or so.
The rope should be strong enough to comfortably skip over. Buy one from a reliable manufacturer to ensure long-term use. You can either find online or at your local stores. It doesn't necessarily mean you need to spend too much bucks for a single rope, there are quality items that could be purchased at competitive prices. Its appropriate length depends on the height of a person. Wearing good running shoes could help, too. While not mandatory, you can make use of a thin exercising mattress for additional padding.
Many have seen and experienced the real difference, it is your turn now!

Top that off with Kenneth Branagh in the director's chair and this certainly sounds like a top notch production, based on the fancy sets and costumes alone. However, according to most of the reviews of this fairy tale flick, you could get more substance from a can of French vanilla frosting than from this lightweight revamp of an iconic princess story.
her acting here "near-vaudevillian" which is not meant as a compliment, folks) but even with a dash of backstory added in, her character is as old hat as the rest of the cast.
Cinderella gets an early "meet-cute" with the prince and some mild intrigue to stall the inevitable shoe fitting but otherwise, it's business as usual. Also, is it just me or is her dress way too blue there?
Before you wonder why I'm hating on Disney princess goodness, let me just say that my ire is mainly against the lack of creativity being taken here. I enjoyed the original Disney cartoon version and several of the reimagings of this story which crosses many cultural lines. Given the trend towards redefining fantasy heroines that the Big D has been on lately, this candy coated retread seems like a severe step back:
Just last year, we had Maleficent, which had the same amount of hype and hoopla(not to mention huge production budget and star power) and yet it managed to take a new tact with the tried and true material. The movie did very well at the box office and on home video, so there's proof that this does work, financially at least.
That live action film came on the heels of animated successes Frozen and Brave, both of which had heroines who found their purpose through meaningful relationships with the women in their families rather than a handsome prince.
Heck, even Tangled(the animated version of Rapunzel) delivered a leading lady with some sass who fought back against her captor. All of them also gave their audiences plenty of romance, laughs and fantasy fun when needed in their stories, so what gives here? Granted, some found objections to the dark tone brought about by these fictional re-fittings yet when seen in context, they do suit the story and give these old time tales a much needed modern twist:
It's not like anyone hasn't done a fresh take on the Cinderella story before. Since this story is public domain, many writers and film makers have this this tired old pumpkin into a dazzling coach of entertaining ideas.
A few fine examples include Gregory Maquire's 1999 novel Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister(which was made into a TV movie in 2002), 1998's Ever After with Drew Barrymore having Leonardo Da Vinci as her non-magical yet helpful godparent stand in and Marissa Meyer's Cinder, that turns our heroine into a cyborg freedom fighter.
One of my favorites is Gail Carson Levine's Ella Enchanted, which had it's main character trapped under a "gift of obedience" spell by a well meaning but deluded fairy godmother. Ella had to go through a series of adventures in order to find her way to personal freedom and yes, even had a prince for her to fall in love on her own terms as well. Sadly, the movie version went the goofy route but leading lady Anne Hathaway does sing beautifully in it and offers a little personality to the part:
Look, I'm sure that plenty of families will be taking their kids to see the new Cinderella this weekend and I hope they have a good time. There's nothing wrong with a little light entertainment every now and then.
I just wish that Disney had gone a different way on this. A classic story can be fun and socially forward thinking,too. It's like they felt the need to pander to certain voices who clamor for more "traditional" depictions of kid friendly fare. This applies to grown-up movies,too, since now we apparently have to have a "boy" version of Ghostbusters to counteract the new "girl" remake coming up soon.
Disney has been making small yet sure steps towards empowering their princess heroines over the years, from Ariel to Jasmine to Belle(plus non-fairy female leads like Pocahontas and Mulan) and for Cinderella to not be able to crack that glass ceiling with her glass slipper, is simply a shame. We need better,Disney, we deserve better, so get to stepping with this sad same old story:

Presidential immunity: a catch-22
The public admission of a confessed leader of the much-storied Davao Death Squad or DDS raises the specter of criminal prosecution of an incumbent president. No less than the President challenges his detractors to bring the suit to court. Haling an incumbent president to court to make him or her account for purported criminal misdeeds before becoming president is of course easier said than done.
A president enjoys immunity during his or her tenure, which insulates him or her from criminal prosecution. Presidential immunity is a doctrine in constitutional theory recognized in most democracies with a presidential form of government. The doctrine need not be written in a constitution.
In David v. Macapagal (2006), the Supreme Court explains the applicability of the doctrine despite its textual absence in the Philippine Constitution as follows: "Settled is the doctrine that the President, during his tenure of office or actual incumbency, may not be sued in any civil or criminal case, and there is no need to provide for it in the Constitution or law. It will degrade the dignity of the high office of the President, the Head of State, if he can be dragged into court litigations while serving as such. Furthermore, it is important that he be freed from any form of harassment, hindrance or distraction to enable him to fully attend to the performance of his official duties and functions. Unlike the legislative and judicial branch, only one constitutes the executive branch and anything which impairs his usefulness in the discharge of the many great and important duties imposed upon him by the Constitution necessarily impairs the operation of the Government."
Advocates for presidential accountability, in light of the confession of the DDS leader notably in the murder of popular radioman Jun Pala, face legal hurdles aside from presidential immunity. The only way to make an incumbent president account for a criminal act is to first unseat and then prosecute him or her when he or she is out of office. Impeachment is a constitutional process which allows the removal of a president from office. It is initiated at the House of Representatives and culminates in the filing of an impeachment complaint in the Senate. The latter chamber will convene as a court and determine the culpability of the president and his or her fitness to continue in office. Impeachment will be hard to come by because both legislative chambers are dominated by presidential allies.
Another hurdle that presidential accusers have to contend with is the jurisdiction of the government agency that will investigate the alleged crimes. A crime imputed to a city mayor in relation to his or her office falls within the primary jurisdiction of the Office of the Ombudsman to investigate and prosecute because the crime is cognizable by the Sandiganbayan. The Ombudsman Act of 1989, however, bars the Ombudsman from conducting an investigation against an impeachable official during his or her tenure except for the purpose of impeachment.
There is also a genuine issue of whether or not the Ombudsman can investigate the President for purposes of impeachment upon acts supposedly committed by him in the past when he was still a city mayor. The answer would be pretty obvious; impeachment is a constitutional regime to exact accountability from a president while in office. It cannot be used to make a president account for purported misdeeds before he was elected to the presidential office.
With these legal hurdles, it looks like those who demand accountability from the President for his acts purportedly done while a city mayor might just have to be content with the glare of media cameras and the blare of sound bites in a public interview or forum. Prosecution within the domestic legal framework is almost impossible because these advocates certainly face a formidable Catch-22.

Thomson Cruises is introducing Marmaris as the new home port for Thomson Celebration next summer
Holidays in Turkey have grown in popularity with the Great British public over the past few years, thanks to the beautiful sunny weather, bright blue seas and fascinating culture combined with the fact that it lies outside of the Euro zone. As a direct response to this rise in customer demand, Summer 2010 will see Thomson Cruises base one of its ships in the beautiful port of Marmaris, offering new itineraries and a great selection of cruise and stay holidays.
From May 2010, the 1,250 passenger ship will be based in the Turkish port, where the Aegean and Mediterranean seas come together. Situated in the Southwest of the country, Marmaris port is surrounded by a traditional old Turkish town complete with a castle and pine clad hills.
As a gateway, Marmaris is the perfect choice. Its close proximity to Dalaman airport means cruise passengers can travel easily on Thomson Airways from a wide selection of UK airports, and then just a short transfer to the ship means an exciting cruise holiday can start sooner and easier.
Itineraries for 2010 cruises include the Ottoman Treasures, where Thomson Celebration will sail towards Istanbul, Kusadasi and Santorini, then to Bodrum, Mykonos and Piraeus (for Athens). The Highlights of the Aegean sees the ship take in the best of the Turkish ports before sailing on to Pireaeus (for Athens) and Aghios Nikolaos in Crete.
For a varied choice of destinations, customers can take advantage of the prime positioning of the ship by taking the Egypt and the Holy Land cruise. This is an exciting adventure into some of the most historical destinations in the world, like Alexandria in Egypt – home of Cleopatra and Alexander the Great - and Ashdod in Israel, where passengers can take excursions to Jerusalem or Bethlehem.
The new port not only opens a whole new choice of itineraries for Thomson cruise passengers, but also a great choice of hotels for those prolonged cruise and stay holidays.
The strong Thomson presence in Dalaman also offers customers a wide selection of hotels for their 'cruise and stay' holidays. The Club Letoonia in Fethiye is a 4T, all-inclusive hotel with a stunning bay location, friendly atmosphere and great price, make it a perfect additional week to a cruise holiday.

What Does It Mean to Sell Yourself
Ron was one of the few speakers who really understood what he was trying to teach our sales team. He did not just talk a bunch of hype to get them excited about selling whatever product the company was selling. No, he taught our sales force how to sell and why it is important to not only sell the product, but yourself and the company as well. Many of the tips I heard Ron talking about can not be applied to a writer trying to sell their work, but some of them can be or can be changed a bit to help you get your foot through the publishing door. These I have sprinkled throughout each topic we will be covering over the next few Sundays.
It is understood, that the first thing you will need is a marketable manuscript. Next, my suggests are to help you make your own journey toward publication a bit easier. However, none of the tips, suggestions, or steps given are a guarantee for success. You will have to adopt them to your own situations, genre of writing, and style. But my hope is after these discussions, you will be closer to getting yourself published or your writing platform closer to more book sales; if you are already published.
So just what is "selling yourself"? Getting out there and talking about yourself, your work, and anything else that has to do with your manuscript. Because of obstacles and high rewards, many people become pro-active using 'high pressure' in their approach. I am sure you have all met at least one high-pressure salesperson in your lifetime. They do not take no for an answer and they follow you around like a hawk while you shop. This is not the best way to sell anything. Including yourself, but you should be eager to talk about yourself and your work. Finding the balance is key when selling.
Let's ask ourselves a question, "What is the definition of selling?" Now think about this for a moment, and then write your definition on a piece of paper. Look at it and analyze your words. This is important because your personal definition of selling creates your behavior and attitude towards the action. The most common definition that people give to selling is "Convincing people to buy something." Others might say, "Talking people into buying something."
The dictionary definition according to Webster is "To transfer property in return for money or something else of value." For a writer this would be your talent, skill, and knowledge in this business. How you see yourself as a writer determines how well you will do in presenting your work to a publisher. Therefore, you must see yourself not only as a professional writer, but also as a salesperson and expert in the subject you have written about.
Look at the first word in your definition of selling. Is it a taking word or a giving word? If your goal is to take a publisher's/people's money and to become a best-seller, you will not be as successful as someone whose goal is to give something.
To sell is to give. Those who give . . . get in return most of the time. Giving a service and/or information is what salesperson do. I know because I was one of them long ago. Selling is giving the customer sufficient information so they can make an intelligent buying decision, be it a yes or no. This means as a writer we need to be talking about our credentials in a non-arrogant way and sharing what our work is about.
Those who set goals to share information will succeed. You can always give information without hurting your writing business and that my friends is what marketing is all about. Sharing information with the customers builds trust, loyalty and many times a sale. It's human nature. If you trust the salesperson, you trust what he or she sells, and vice versa. Think about why you pick certain publishers to submit your work to. It does not matter if it is a book publisher or a magazine publisher; the reasons are usually the same. You have always liked books from them or you have been getting their magazine for however long. As a customer, you have trust in what they publish. You feel they only publish good material, etc.
This same trust is what you need to build, not only with your readers, but with the publisher, editor, and/or agent as well. So how do you go about doing this? Let us first go back to what I said before about needing a marketable manuscript. Speaking as an editor, I would say a fiction manuscript that stands out from among a host of very good manuscripts, will be by virtue of its lively writing style, sharply created characters, and involving plot. For nonfiction, the elements would make an editor respond positively because of the different or interesting way the information was presented. The article would be engaging as well. It would also have an appropriate subject for its audience and supported bibliographical references, showing the writer knows the subject or did their best to learn everything before writing.
My last comment about selling yourself is this . . . make sure you stay up to date with what is going on in the world around you and in your writing genre. I know many writers who lock themselves away and do not follow the world around them while working on a manuscript. In my opinion, this can hurt your chances on becoming published. Now please note that just because a popular book or magazine has everyone talking does not mean in the next two to four years everyone will still want to read this same subject matter. But you can get an idea of where the reading market is turning by the types of events currently happening. Reading, publishing and library trade magazines will give you reference to what publishers are looking for and what they are not. I also strongly suggest you keep a file of newspaper or other articles that apply or could apply to the business of writing. This can later give you much needed subject matter or places to contact to help promote your work. Finally, you will want to spend time with your target audience. Knowing whom you write for will make you not only a better writer, but also better at marketing and relating to those who will hopefully buy your work and help build your fan base.

Can Pittsburgh and Oakland do better?
With a new proposal for a mixed-use office building at Halket Street between Forbes and Fifth in Oakland adjacent to SkyVue, Walnut Capital is promoting design excellence as a desired feature rather than something to be avoided. In a Jan. 23 community meeting organized by Oakland Planning and Development Corporation (OPDC), principal developer Todd Reidbord affirmed, "We believe that we can design a better building, a more attractive building, one that creates more open space, [is] more people-friendly at the lower levels." He was referring to development generally, not one specific example, but observers could hardly ignore the adjacent behemoth.
The catch, not uncommonly for a booming market, is that the developers want three major zoning variances to make the proposed structure work. While current regulations limit buildings to 120 feet in height, Walnut Capital wants to build to 185 feet. Even with a profile that steps back in its upper stories, the building would still be 60 percent bulkier than current regulations allow, with a floor-to-area ratio of 10:1 rather than the current 6:1 limit. Lastly, it would have 100 parking spaces, when current rules stipulate a minimum of 347. The building would have 280,000 square feet of rentable office space in 11 stories of offices (which are typically higher the residential floors), as well as up to 7,000 square feet of small retail storefronts on Fifth Avenue, to be stewarded by OPDC.
Though no tenants announced or signed, Reidbord noted that the vitality of Oakland's Innovation District justifies the planned office capacity. He commented that the reduced parking capacity, which numerous attendees lamented, is less of a concern for the transit and pedestrian intensive corridor. "It's not possible to build parking for everyone who is going to work here. Nor would we want to."
Meeting attendees expressed skepticism. Lifelong Oaklander Carlino Giampolo said, "You should have more compassion for our community. I don't see any benefits for the long-term residents." Others were more specific. Another longtime resident expressed dismay at the loss of historic residential architecture on Fifth Avenue.
Reidbord deflected to the new design, touting additional height as the chance for "a feature tower that will be kind of a landmark, so you know where you are going, but at the same time, it will respect the existing scale."
The three major zoning variances are on the Zoning Board of Adjustment hearing agenda for Feb. 7. Tim Schooley notes in the Pittsburgh Business Times that Walnut Capital has had good luck in getting substantial variances of this kind in its Bakery Square projects.
Still, the building is still at least a year away from starting construction, says Reidbord.
The current designs, by Strada Architecture, reflect a very early stage of the process for zoning purposes only. Says Reidbord, "We'll go back to the planning commission for a totally separate process for the façade, the glass, the open space requirements, the street level retail, all that kind of stuff."
Subsequent stages will determine if the development team and architects are seriously considering best design practices from competitive cities or just paying lip service to whatever drawings will get the project past the necessary review boards.
Is this design, though even taller than SkyVue, better in its slimmer profile? Reidbord believes "it's a more attractive building for the entire community," but he does not have a consensus. Said longtime resident Elana Zaitsoff, "… you threaten us with this ugly building. It's insulting."
The verdict will come from the people who engage in the process and comment publicly on the designs that they see before the building is completed, rather than wondering, after it is done, whether more public input could have made it better.
[Editors note: Zaitsoff tells CP, "Mr. Reidbord said that if they were to build a building not requiring variances, it would perhaps be rectangular and without the setbacks given in the proposed building. THAT is when I said, 'You threaten us with this ugly building. It's insulting.' The 'ugly' reference was to the threatened rectangular building and the insult was the veiled threat of 'give us these variances or we'll give you an ugly building.'"]

Having governments set minimum wages is bad for the economy but varying them by state at least makes some sense, economist Peter Morici told Newsmax TV.
During an appearance on "Newsmax Now," Morici told host Bill Tucker he is no fan of the federal or state governments telling employers how much they must pay their workers.
"I think it's a bad thing for the federal or the state governments to be involved in setting minimum wages," Morici said. "However, if we're going to have a minimum wage, then having some variation by state makes sense.
"Now, whether that can be done by the federal government taking into consideration cost of living or by state governments acting independently is another thing. But what we are observing now is blue states jacking up their minimum wage to the point that businesses simply have to either close or dramatically reduce the amount of labor that they're using."

The current federal minimum wage is $7.25. Forty states and municipalities instituted wage hikes last week, including Washington state — which now mandates that business pay their workers at least $11.50 per hour.
"The cost of labor in a restaurant can be as much as the third of the cost of the meal, and pushing up the cost of labor to about $25 an hour, which is what they're doing up there [in New York], is certainly going to lead to many fewer jobs — and don't kid yourself, it's not going to lead to more demand for restaurant booths by those people turning around and buying it," Morici said.

The Philippines is abundant with natural resources and friendly locals. It is no wonder why the country is one of the top destinations for retirees in the world. Falling in love with the country is not hard for both local and foreign retirees considering its simple lifestyle, vibrant culture, natural wonders, superb beaches, and unusual travel destinations. Not to mention, the English language is widely spoken, which makes communication possible and easy.
Pampanga is known as "The Culinary Capital of the Philippines." Pampanga is a haven for most food bloggers and enthusiasts. But of course, it is not just about the food why Pampanga is the best choice for retirement.
One of the common reasons why many retirees prefer to invest in a house and lot in Pampanga is the low cost of living. It helps them a lot financially as they are able to stretch their funds on a daily basis. For those who are still skeptical about choosing this province, below are other reasons you might want to know.
Traveling to and from the Philippines should never be a hassle, especially for retirees. People who know the traffic situation in Manila are on a constant lookout for alternatives. If you need to catch a flight, Clark International Airport is the next best thing. For one, it is not as congested as Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA). And two, Clark International Airport, which is also known as the international gateway to the North, has local and international flights daily. It gives a more convenient way for retirees to enjoy their trip without thinking about the hassles and inconveniences.
Now, if you are worried whether the traffic in Pampanga is the same with that of Manila, then don't be. Angeles City is beside the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) which is a major thoroughfare going to the provinces northward. Moreover, NLEX is connected to the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX), which cuts down the time traveling to major points of Luzon.
Pampanga is also home to world-class hospitals that have superior medical facilities. It also has a medical center that is accredited for medical and wellness tourism. Pampanga also has the country's top medical service providers at the Global Gateway Logistics City inside the Clark Freeport Zone. The medical city is a state-of-the-art tertiary hospital facility that is equipped with the latest in medical technology.
Since foreign tourists and retirees are rapidly increasing per year, Pampanga also has a residential option where they can choose from living in a condominium or single family homes. The units are designed for foreign nationals who are accustomed to their particular needs and tastes.
Angeles City hosts a significant number of international restaurants. These restaurants serve Italian, Mexican, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Chinese, Swiss, and German cuisines to cater to the growing numbers of foreigners of various nationalities in the province.
Retirees can also have some outdoor activities while enjoying the beauty of Mother Nature., Have an exciting adventure in SandBox Alviera, Paradise Ranch, Zoocobia, and Nayong Pilipino sa Clark.
Although Pampanga has undergone development, the area is mostly surrounded by trees and mountains. Retirees can still enjoy walking and taking a stroll along well-maintained parks in. It is also near the beautiful beaches of Zambales, where you can also enjoy aquatic activities.

James Franco gives Beyonce's 'Lemonade' vibes in exact outfit
| Updated: Aug 23, 2017 11:20 IST
Washington D.C. [USA], Dec. 22 (ANI): James Franco is now probably a member of the Beyhive with his most recent ensemble replicating Beyonce's look from her 'Lemonade' album. The 38-year-old actor was photographed in Los Angeles, rocking the long, yellow ruffled dress with a wig and a bandanna tied around his head, totally giving the same vibes from the 'Hold Up' singer's music video, reports E! Online. In the official track video, Bey brings out Sasha Fierce while walking the streets with a baseball bat, destroying anything and everything in her way as she sings about a lover who does not reciprocate her respect in the relationship. No one exactly knows or can tell what Franco is doing in the shoot however, reportedly, it is for an 'upcoming movie'. This is not the first time that the 'The Interview' actor has channeled a musician. Just last month, he brought out his inner Riff Raff with a music video titled 'Only in America.' In the video, Franco dons ombre, neon hair with a grill and tattoos covering his body similar to the look sported by the 34-year-old rapper from Texas. (ANI)

By Dr. Kathryn K. Matthew
American society celebrates new ideas. We place value on creativity and the "next big thing," which tends to get all the attention and much of the admiration. If you've ever watched a TED Talk, you'll know what I mean.
As grantmakers, we at IMLS love a good idea, and we're fortunate to receive many each year. After all, a good grant project starts with a good idea. But does "new" necessarily mean "good"? In grantmaking, a shiny new idea isn't necessarily a shoo-in. But why?
"New" isn't ever really new. To paraphrase Isaac Newton, we all stand on the shoulders of others, building on prior work and reinterpreting others' stories. Taking on this perspective helps us to spot the next breakthrough or advancement while creating a climate for discovery, inclusion, and collaboration. What if new ideas emphasized how alike they are to earlier successes, not how much they differ from them? Instead, what about considering how your great idea takes what is known and tried and proposes innovations and improvements?
Emphasizing only the newness of an idea doesn't help us evaluate where to invest grant dollars. We're tasked with making smart choices in investing taxpayer dollars that help museums, archives, libraries, and communities flourish. A mix of factors come into play when making decisions, including the budget, risk, reach, success, and impact of a project idea. We ask how a dollar invested "over here" versus "over there" will make a difference, and how far it will go. We must consider whether that dollar should be spent on a brand-new idea, never before tested, or on the refinement or expansion of an existing idea, one that is already proven, tested, and evaluated.
Where along the spectrum of vibrant new idea to tried-and-true, proven principle does your project sit? Instead of going straight for "the new," here are some questions to help you consider where your idea may fall in the continuum, and how you can polish, focus, and refine your concept.
Exploratory: You have a new, not well-defined idea to explore.
What is the challenge, problem, or opportunity? What is causing this situation?
How might you overcome the challenge? What approaches might you test?
Who are the target users and what would they value in a potential solution?
Why is this idea important to undertake now? Who are key stakeholders?
Piloting: You have a promising approach and want to conduct a pilot to test your assumptions and better understand how the approach works.
Can the project's success be reached from multiple starting points?
How will you validate the feasibility of various possible approaches?
What does the project look like when successful? What are outcomes and indicators of progress?
Based on feasibility testing, what is a reasonable implementation plan and how will you evaluate that?
How will you ensure that you have time and resources to learn and reflect on the results of this phase, and then adapt your plans and goals accordingly?
Scaling: You have a valid approach with well-understood users, and now you want to test it more broadly.
Do you have capacity to scale the service/program?
What is the role of partners and implementers to help reach more users and achieve impact?
How well is this rollout working? What barriers exist?
Have you communicated the idea effectively?
What questions do adopters have about processes?
What are longer-term sustainability scenarios?
Enhancing: There is a well-established, widely used practice or technology, and you want to find out whether there is a need to enhance or rethink it.
How do you learn how others are innovating around this practice or technology? What approaches do you prioritize, if any, to respond to such changes in the field?
Has the definition of "value," whether for professional or public communities, changed significantly?
Are there new ideas that justify reverting back to the earlier lifecycle phase to explore?
Is there a need to identify and enroll collaborators who can sustain the practice or technology and take it further?
Have you conducted a thorough review of the current strategy and determined that simple adjustments, with validation by stakeholders and users, will address the situation?
Identifying the phase for your idea and considering questions in these areas can help you more fully develop the project's conceptual underpinnings for your planning. You'll need to adapt these questions to your area of interest (such as collections stewardship, lifelong learning, community engagement, shared meta-data, professional development, workforce, etc.). You'll also need to fully understand the maturity of knowledge, practice development, or user adoption currently in the field relating to your idea.
At IMLS, we like ideas. We like exploring ideas, testing ideas, sharing ideas, and enhancing ideas. You and your peers are our partners in powering and building innovative ideas that change practices in museums, archives, and libraries while also transforming communities across the nation. All we ask is for your best!

Grace's boyfriend whom she met after finally moving on from Ben being gone for five years.
played by Daniel Sunjata (IMDb)
Episode References
When the world learns of the return of Flight 828 five and one-half years after it went missing, Danny must leave. When Grace does not tell Ben about Danny right away. Danny grows impatient texting her that he misses her (101.23).
Cal draws a family photo, but in the background behind Grace and Ben is a shadowy figure (someone Cal had tried to erase). At first some viewers concluded that this was Danny. But when the shadow took a prominent role to Kelly Taylor's murder, the evidence pointed to a government conspiracy, not Danny, who at that time, was being depicted only as Grace's lover and step father to Olive. However, as season one evolved, viewers began to become more and more suspicious of Danny, even thinking that he might be part of the conspiracy and targeted the Stone family because of Cal's special powers.
In Episode 104, the only person who is suspicious of Danny is Ben (not for the reasons cited above, but for being the other man). He doesn't know his name, nor even what he looks like until after he finds a box of photos tucked away in the garage. Later, he learns about Danny from Olive, not Grace, who eventually tells him what he already suspected.
Ben and Danny finally meet for the first time at Mercuryblue cosmetic store when the both arrive to pick Olive up who was caught shoplifting (104.17).
It's not until episode 105 that viewers are given some of the backstory on Danny. Danny first met Grace at a Grief & Loss support group 1 1/2 years after Flight 828 went missing, but they don't begin seeing one another for another six months. Initially, young Olive is suspicious of him, and is furious when Grace invites him over for dinner. After dinner, Olive tells him that "Cal is not dead. He is just lost. And some day… I am going to find him" (105.13). There is no indication yet, however, that this is also what Danny is hoping to do, and the very reason why he is dating Grace in the first place.
Eventually, Olive begins to accept Danny as her step-father. Danny takes Olive rock climbing to help her get over the grief of losing her father. Danny moves in with Grace and Olive.
In episode 105, Olive tells Grace that although she loves her dad, Ben, and is glad he's back, that Danny is her dad, too (105.26).
Danny goes rock climbing with Olive (107.8). Olive tell Danny she likes spending time with him (107.20). Danny tells Ben, "I'm not gonna get in your way, Ben. Olive's not my kid. But I stepped in when you were gone, and I care about her. When she comes to me, I can't turn her away (107.23).
After Grace and Ben separate, Olive goes looking for Danny and tells him that seeing her mom these days is messing her up more than after the plane disappeared. She asks him to come over for dinner that night to help straighten Grace out (110.12). When Ben show up, he and Danny have a controntation (110.23).

With Newport County AFC out of action after EFL fixtures were suspended until at least April 30 due to the coronavirus pandemic, we're dipping into the Argus archives to relive the club's miraculous Great Escape from relegation three years on. Follow the action day-by-day as Michael Flynn's men battle to beat the drop against all the odds…
First published on Saturday, March 18, 2017
MICHAEL Flynn was disappointed to lose for the first time as Newport County AFC manager but couldn't fault the effort of his players in their 3-1 defeat to Blackpool at Rodney Parade.
Loanee Alex Samuel opened his account for the Exiles to get them back in the game after Bright Osayi-Samuel and a Mark Cullen penalty had put the visitors in charge.
Samuel went close to equalising in second half injury time, before Osayi-Samuel made the points safe for his side with a late breakaway strike.
Despite losing, the Exiles remain seven points from safety at the bottom of League Two with nine matches remaining.
"The first goal was the disappointment for me," said Flynn. "He had real pace and we allowed him to cut in on his stronger foot and get the shot away.
"I don't think it was a penalty. The referee shook his head but then he changed his mind.
"The response the players gave me was outstanding and the crowd got behind them, and they sensed an equaliser.
"We threw everything at it except the kitchen sink. I can't fault the boys' effort again.
"The third goal is neither here nor there, we put Joe (Day) up and went for the equaliser.
"We wanted to try and salvage something but they went and nicked the third.
"I can't blame the players. Their keeper made a great save at 2-1 that would have made it 2-2."
He added: "It's a first loss under me, and that's something I'm disappointed in, but we've still got matches to play.
"They showed again that they're fighting, and everyone else lost, so we didn't lose any ground."
County will now move on to Tuesday's game against Luton at Rodney Parade, though they are going to be sweating on the fitness of captain Joss Labadie.
The midfielder was replaced by Mickey Demetriou 41 minutes into the Seasiders reverse after suffering a hip injury.
"We were unlucky that we lost Joss so early," said Flynn. "It's right up in his hip flexor so I'm hoping it's not too bad. He might just miss Tuesday.
"We'll give him some rest and if it settles down really well he might be available for Tuesday. I'm not ruling him out yet.
"I thought Mickey Demetriou, when he came on, did very well and was almost flawless."

Make an Appointment / Request a Second Opinion
Click on items to read more:Gastroenterologist: 410-955-4910 +
To See a Gastroenterologist with Expertise in Barrett's Esophagus and Treatment of Gastroesophageal Reflux DiseaseMedical Oncologist: 410-955-8964 +
The American Gastrroenterologic Association advises that individuals who have had reflux symptoms (usually heartburn) for several years undergo upper endoscopy to determine if Barrett's esophagus is present and to assess for premalignant features. This is accomplished by insertion of a flexible fiberoptic tube (endoscope) through the mouth into the esophagus. A computerized camera/ visualization system attached to the endoscope allows the gastroenterologist to determine if Barrett's esophagus is present and this is confirmed by biopsies. Biopsies are also examined to detect dysplasia, the precursor to cancer. In experienced hands, upper endoscopy is a simple, painless, low risk procedure requiring less than an hour without need for inpatient admission.
If you have reflux symptoms or know you have Barrett's esophagus or dysplasia in Barrett's esopgahus, and would like to be evaluated at Johns Hopkins, the appropriate gastroenterologists are Dr. Marcia Canto and Dr. William Ravich.
Dr. Canto received her medical degree in 1985 and completed her internship and residency in Internal Medicine at the State University of New York Health Sciences Center in Brooklyn, New York. After training as a Gastroenterologist at Johns Hopkins, she added an advanced endoscopy fellowship at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, where she remained on staff until 1996, when she joined the full-time faculty at Johns Hopkins. She has subsequently earned a degree in Clinical Epidemiology from the Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health. She is Board Certified in Internal Medicine and Gastroenterology.
At Hopkins, she has become a leading national expert in the evaluation and treatment of Barrett's esophagus and chemoprevention in Barrett's esophagus and is the endoscopist on clinical trials in this discipline. She has performed thousands of endoscopic procedures and is a pioneer in using special dyes to detect abnormal areas in the esophagus (a technique which is called chromoendoscopy). She is the author of numerous publications on esophageal diseases and has lectured nationally and internationally on these topics.
To See An Oncologist at Johns Hopkins For Cancer of The Esophagus or High Grade Dysplasia of the EsophagusSurgeons: 410-933-7495 +
There are two oncologists at Johns Hopkins specializing in the care of high-grade dysplasia and cancer of the esophagus. Dr. Elisabeth I. Heath and Dr. Arlene A. Forastiere. They are both Board Certified in Internal Medicine and Medical Oncology and are participating in trials involving treatment of esophageal cancer and high-grade dysplasia in Barrett's esophagus.
Dr. Heath is an attending medical oncologist. She received her M.D. degree from Jefferson Medical College and completed her internal medicine training at Georgetown University Hospital and subsequently trained in Medical Oncology at Johns Hopkins. Her primary interest is in developing and conducting clinical trials utilizing novel agents for patients with cancers of the esophagus and lung. She also has an interest in chemoprevention and has been instrumental in the design and leadership of a multi-center cancer prevention trial for patients with Barrett's esophagus.
Dr. Forastiere is a Professor of Medical Oncology who has served on the Johns Hopkins medical staff for over ten years. She has participated in numerous clinical trials involving esophageal cancer and is an author on numerous scholarly publications in this area. Drs. Forastiere and Heath initiated the proposal for the cyclooxegynase-2 inhibitor trial in Barrett's esophagus patients that is now ongoing. The objective of the trial is to prevent esophageal cancer since its incidence is increasing at an alarming rate in the United States. They have done this in collaboration with the Gastroenterologists and with the Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health and has received peer-reviewed funding for approximately 5 million dollars.
To See a Surgeon at Johns Hopkins for Cancer of the Esophagus, High-Grade Dysplasia of the Esophagus, or Surgical Treatment of Gastroesophageal Reflux DiseasePathologists: 410-955-8964 +
When choosing a surgeon, it is also particularly important to select a hospital where a large volume of esophagectomies are performed for the safest care. In fact, a recent study published in the New England Journal of Medicine proves that esophagectomy is significantly safer in hospitals performing a large number of esophagectomies than in hospitals performing only a few such procedures annually [N Engl J Med 2002; 346: 1128-37]. Johns Hopkins Hospital performs a large number of esophagectomies annually.
To Have Your Biopsy Slides Reviewed by a Pathologist at Johns Hopkins
If you have been told you have Barrett's esophagus or dysplasia (pre-cancerous tissue) in Barrett's esophagus, you may wish to have a second opinion on your slides. Since many pathologists have limited experience with interpreting these biopsies, it is often recommended that a second opinion be sought before a patient undergoes treatment, especially when dysplasia is identified. In fact, the inter-observer agreement (agreement on the diagnosis between pathologists) for the diagnosis of low-grade dysplasia is only about 70%.
The team of Gastrointestinal Pathologists at Johns Hopkins has extensive experience with interpretation of slides from patients with diseases of the esophagus.

First Reading - Numbers 21:4-9
The Israelites left Mount Hor by the road to the Sea of Suph, to skirt the land of Edom. On the way, the people lost patience. They spoke against God and against Moses, 'Why did you bring us out of Egypt to die in this wilderness? For there is neither bread nor water here; we are sick of this unsatisfying food. At this God sent fiery serpents among the people; their bite brought death to many in Israel. The people came and said to Moses, 'We have sinned by speaking against the Lord and against you. Intercede for us with the Lord to save us from these serpents.' Moses interceded for the people, and the Lord answered him, 'Make a fiery serpent and put it on a standard. If anyone is bitten and looks at it, he shall live.' So Moses fashioned a bronze serpent which he put on a standard, and if anyone was bitten by a serpent, he looked at the bronze serpent and lived.
Gospel - John 8:21-30
Jesus said to the Pharisees: 'I am going away; you will look for me and you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come.' The Jews said to one another, 'Will he kill himself? Is that what he means by saying, "Where I am going, you cannot come"?' Jesus went on: 'You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. I have told you already: You will die in your sins. Yes, if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.' So they said to him, 'Who are you?' Jesus answered: 'What I have told you from the outset. About you I have much to say and much to condemn; but the one who sent me is truthful, and what I have learnt from him I declare to the world.' They failed to understand that he was talking to them about the Father. So Jesus said: 'When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He and that I do nothing of myself: what the Father has taught me is what I preach; he who sent me is with me, and has not left me to myself, for I always do what pleases him.' As he was saying this, many came to believe in him.

A wise woman once said that a great shampoo is the foundation of great hair. Take her sage advice seriously, and stock up on this apothecary line's zesty formula. Originally a hotel exclusive, C.O. Bigelow released it to the public after countless fans called to sing its praises. Infused with refreshing lavender and peppermint scents, it leaves hair shiny and clean every time you lather up.
I should have listened to other reviewers on this one. I didn't love the smell and it's hard to get this shampoo to lather in my hair without using a whole palm full! I was disappointed with the size but thats my fault for not paying attention to the description.1
I try to avoid shampoos that contain such harsh ingredients in it like this esp. Sodium Laureth Sulfate, it's said to cause hair-loss as well being claimed to cause cancer.
I was really looking forward to trying this too, but after reading the ingredient label..No thank you. Knowing that possibility doing more harm than good for you hair! You should look the ingredients up, i'm sure the Birchbox team and writers would be enlightened to know & share this info..
Like I said in my review of the counterpart conditioner, this duo is the worst thing I have ever received in my Birchbox. Here are just a few reasons I severely dislike this shampoo: Do NOT use if you have colored hair, as Sodium Laureth Sulfate (the dreaded SLS) is the second ingredient...that will strip your color faster than you can say "this stuff smells like vomit"...well actually, it smells like the stuff that they would put on vomit when you were in elementary school. Yes, you know EXACTLY what I'm talking about. Contrary to what the name of the product would lead you to believe, there is no lavender or peppermint essential oils listed in the ingredients. There is the dubious linalool...but there is also Wheat Gluten. ??? In any case, this dried out my normal-straight hair and the conditioner made it feel even worse. After blow-drying I had a frizz halo. Can't recommend.1
I actually don't use regular shampoo/conditioner on my hair. I use only WEN by Chaz Dean cleansing conditioner. However, this stuff had a pleasant smell and I did give the samples to my sister. I'm sure this is a great product, and if I used regular shampoo it would have been a great sample.1

Week 2 of the Body Transformation Series I am currently doing is a repeat of Week 1. I did two rounds and could have done a third round but I had to watch my nephew while his Mom and Dad ate lunch. We had a massive Ice Storm here hit Texas Thursday night through Friday morning, so I didn't have to go to work. It was nice to be home and spend the whole day with my nephew who turned one yesterday. He has been such a blessing to our family and I thank God for him. He reminds me daily that the simple things in life are very important!!!
I got in a great stretch after my workout and sat on my trusted Tennis Ball to help loosen some spots that were a little tighter than normal. I felt good the rest of the day, and I woke up this morning feeling as loose as I have since I got my new mattress. For anyone new to reading my blog or hasn't kept up with me recently I finally bought a new mattress in November and it has been an adventure adjusting to it. However, my old mattress was way past the being "old" mark and I am sure that has played a huge part in why it has taken me this long to get use to the new mattress.
I went the Chiropractor on Monday and the visit went well. Now that I am working out I can give him feedback about how my body is handling exercise, which will help him better address issues and certain spots that need more attention. I am hoping that later next week I can start running a little outside, and that will really help him know exactly how my hips/butt/lower back are doing. Thus far my body seems to be handling most things very well. I am still wearing my wrist support but my right wrist is starting to feel better. I hope in another week I won't need it, but it has been a life saver this past week.
Here is my workout from yesterday and I hope everyone has a great Saturday!!!
Repeat 1-3X

Fans Will Not Be Happy About This Male R&B Singer Calling Out Beyoncé, SZA And Cardi B
"Stop using that f**king pain to make it OK to say some bullsh** on your record and get nominated for a Grammy..."
Chief Keef's legal fumbles are becoming worse with each passing month in 2017 it seems.
After an assault charge in January and a DUI violation in April, the Chicago rap star has found himself entangled in the law's crosshairs again with a drug charge on Monday (June 12), TMZ reports.
The "I Don't Like" rapper was reportedly found with weed and paraphernalia in his possession before boarding his flight in South Dakota. Authorities discovered four blunts and an edible infused with 200 mg of THC in his backpack, TMZ points out. Sources also claimed he had over an ounce of the substance on him and was consequently arrested and booked on the spot. His charges include the possession of marijuana and paraphernalia, the site adds.
Why he would attempt to make his way through a TSA-secured facility with weed on him is still a mystery, but other sources reportedly shared that he forgot he had the items on him.
As the 21-year-old awaits his arraignment in jail, TMZ concluded, his attorney team has already started working up his legal defense.

You are cordially invited to stop by http://www.jstroke.com. It is a new site that allows you to promote your paddlesport business and connect with the paddlesport community online.
You can create an account (no strings, emails, newsletters, spam, etc) and log in. Once you're logged in you can post pictures, start a blog, and connect with more of the community we love.
Along with that I wanted to give the community a chance to arrange organized paddling events with the broader internet community of paddlers so I created the the idea of a "float". Once a float is created (really just a title, location, and short description) they are posted on a public or private map (up to the user). If the float is public then it will be posted on a google map which has some of the details you entered in the description but most importantly it shows the exact location where the float will start.
So please give http://www.jstroke.com a shot and don't be afraid to try it and use the contact page to let me know what I did wrong. I want to help get new blood involved in the paddlesport community and one way I could think of was to help drive business to the outfitters and liveries that have helped get generations involved.
Thank you,
Jason Charles
