Monument in Bacong, Negros Oriental

Vicente found the maid Kitay and both went inside Kilat’s room from where loud noises came. There he saw to his shock the limp body of Kilat being pinned down by eight men, with some of them taking turns at stabbing it. The skull had been earlier smashed with with the butt of Kilat’s own gun.

“Buhi pa ba?” Vicente heard Vinsyong Cui ask.

“Patay na intawon,” answered Kitay. Vicente who was speechless leaned against the wall, in shock.

Then they took his body down the stairs till Cui told the other conspirators: “Ihunong. Ibutang una ninyo. Atong sulayan, ambi tuod dili ba dutlan.” (Stop. Put it down. Let’s see if he is invulnerable.)

Each one took turns at stabbing the dead body and breaking some of his limbs. Then they carried Leon Kilat’s body to the center of the town where it was displayed for all residents to see. It was 5:00 early Friday morning.

In 1926, Leon Kilat’s remains were found along several others. The top-most part of his skull is missing. By virtue of a resolution by the municipal government of Bacong on August 2, 1926 the bones of Leon Kilat were transferred and finally laid to rest in his hometown of Bacong.

The legend and memory of Pantaleon Villegas, known as Leon Kilat still stands tall and a monument in his honor has been erected right in the heart of his hometown in Bacong, Negros Oriental.

Death Certificate of Leon Kilat

Since Leon Kilat was tired, it did not take long before sleep was in order. The room assigned to him was the one near the stairs of the five-bedroom house of Barcenilla. A son of the owner, Vicente, curious about Kilat’s exploits, had a brief talk with the latter. He was the last person to talk to him alive.

For a while, Vicente and his uncle Mariano Alfafara talked for some minutes in the corridor outside the room occupied by Kilat. Very soon, they too, went to sleep in another room. Mariano was persuaded by Vicente to stay that night.

Vicente would wake up a few hours later when he heard loud noises coming from Kilat’s room. He awakened Mariano and both went outside at once, only to be met by Florencio Noel coming up the stairs, carrying a huge crucifix and asking excitedly: “Naunsa na? Naunsa na?” (Has anything happened yet?)

Then Noel shouted: “Viva Espa¤a! Viva España!” Several others outside the house responded.

House in Carcar where Kilat was murdered

Alcoseba said it was Blanco who suggested to Noel that the only way Kabkab could avoid the retaliation of the Spaniards was to kill Kilat.

Little did Kilat suspect what would befall him that fateful Good Friday in 1898 in Carcar because when he arrived in the evening of Holy Thursday, he was accorded a courtesy due a visiting dignitary. First, he went to the house of kapitan Paras, then later transferred to the house of kapitan Tiyoy Barcenilla where he and his men were tendered goat’s meat, chicken and pork. After supper, he was offered coffee and ginebra at the sala.

While his men were telling stories of the uprising in Cebu, he asked kapitan Tiyoy if he could call a tailor who could make a “traje de rayadillo” which had become the katipunan’s uniform. He wanted to change his clothes the next morning after he took a bath. Minutes later, a tailor named Segundo Alcordo came with his metrosan (a tailor’s tape measure) to take his measurements.

Meantime, the plotters appeared ill at ease, said Alcoseba. Tiyoy Barcenilla could not stay put in his seat. Sometimes, he would confer with kapitan Kadyo at the back of the house and talk in whispers. Minutes later, he would shift to Kapitan Gundoy, as if something else was going on.

Then Apolinario Alcuitas, a recruit of the katipunan in Kabkab, shouted for everyone to hear: “Mga kaigsoonan, ipahibalo ko kaninyo nga karong gabhiona, may ihawon akong kabayo.”

(Brothers, I would like to announce that tonight I am going to slaughter a horse.) At that time, Alcoseba could not understand the meaning of all these.

Even before the katipuneros’ arrival in that southern town, Kabkab (Carcar) residents already learned of their defeat at the hands of the Spaniards, following the arrival of reinforcements from Manila. They had mixed feelings about accepting Leon Kilat, afraid of retaliation from their Spanish masters.

Kabkab leaders, like kapitan Florencio Noel (Tan Insyong), Timoteo Barcenilla, kapitan Kadyo Jaen, kapitan Jacinto Velez, kapitan Simeon Paras, told Andres Abellana: “Tell Kilat to finish fighting in Naga, not in Kabkab.”

To which Abellana retorted: “Sa wa pa mosibog si Don Leon nganhi, ang mga tawo gipahibawo una nga anhi padangpon sa Kabkab kay anhi tapusa ang away. Ug karon nga anhi na ang mga tawo, malisud na ang pagsulti kanila sa tagsa-tagsa nga ang away adto usab tapusa sa laing dapit.”

(Before Leon retreated here, people were informed that they should proceed to Carcar because the fight will end here. Now that people are here, it is difficult to tell them that the fight will be somewhere else.)

In the story of Vicente Alcoseba who was with the group of Kilat at that time, the plan to kill the latter was actually hatched at the confessional in the church. The coadjutor at the time, a Fr. Francisco Blanco who was teaching Latin at the Colegio-Seminario de San Carlos, would not meet kapitan Florencio Noel at the convent because it would be suspicious.

House where the murder plan was hatched

April 8, 1898 â€" The Death of Pantaleon Villegas (Leon Kilat)
http://patnubay.org/


By early morning Thursday, April 7, unknown to Katipuneros, the cruiser Don Juan Austria chartered merchant steamer Churruca arrived from Manila. Aboard were loyalist troops commanded by Gen. Celestino Fernandez Tejeiro. These were seasoned veterans.

Sensing that they were up against a better-armed enemy, the Katipuneros started a retreat, with a lot of them finally looking for refuge in the mountains of Cebu. They abandoned their positions in the city. Those from Lutao joined the large group from Recolletos and took positions beyond the Forbes bridge. The cruiser would later drive them off by massive bombardment, leaving behind a good number of casualties.

The massive attacks forced the Katipunan forces to disperse outside the city. A group led by Leon Kilat proceeded to Kabkab (Carcar), thinking that because there was a group there, they would not starve. Kabkab was also far from the sea, thus making it difficult for the ships to bombard them. Little did Kilat suspect that his retreat would end tragically.

The retreat of the Katipuneros from San Nicolas and the city paved the way for the widespread arrests and executions of other civilians, whether or not they were involved in Katipunan.

But of all the Katipuneros who met their end, it was their leader Leon Kilat who died most tragically not only for the manner of his death but for the betrayal by one of his men in Carcar on April 8, 1898.

In the Philippines, an amulet is known as agimat, mutya or anting-anting. The most powerful, mutya, is believed to be that which comes from a mature banana tree which falls only at midnight and may be obtained only by somebody who deserves to have it, often by fighting a supernatural or elemental creature that guards it.

The banana plant, which is not a tree (but never mind, Licauco is a psychologist, not a botanist), is not just any banana variety but the one we call "tindok". At any rate, what I have is a "mutya sa saging tindok" which protects me from the Evil Eye (and, for that matter, the Evil "I").

I once saw Four or Five of their most Powerful Lords laid on these Gridirons, and thereon roasted, and not far off, Two or Three more over-spread with the same Commodity, Man's Flesh; but the shril Clamours which were heard there being offensive to the Captain, by hindring his Repose, he commanded them to be strangled with a Halter. The Executioner (whose Name and Parents at Sevil are not unknown to me) prohibited the doing of it; but stopt Gags into their Mouths to prevent the hearing of the noise (he himself making the Fire) till that they dyed, when they had been roasted as long as he thought convenient. I was an Eye-Witness of these and and innumerable Number of other Cruelties: And because all Men, who could lay hold of the opportunity, sought out lurking holes in the Mountains, to avoid as dangerous Rocks so Brutish and Barbarous a People, Strangers to all Goodness, and the Extirpaters and Adversaries of Men, they bred up such fierce hunting Dogs as would devour an Indian like a Hog, at first sight in less than a moment: Now such kind of Slaughters and Cruelties as these were committed by the Curs, and if at any time it hapened, (which was rarely) that the Indians irritated upon a just account destroy'd or took away the Life of any Spaniard, they promulgated and proclaim'd this Law among them, that One Hundred Indians should dye for every individual Spaniard that should be slain.

The Lords and Persons of Noble Extract were usually expos'd to this kind of Death; they order'd Gridirons to be placed and supported with wooden Forks, and putting a small Fire under them, these miserable Wretches by degrees and with loud Shreiks and exquisite Torments, at last Expir'd.

They erected certain Gibbets, large, but low made, so that their feet almost reacht the ground, every one of which was so order'd as to bear Thirteen Persons in Honour and Reverence (as they said blasphemously) of our Redeemer and his Twelve Apostles, under which they made a Fire to burn them to Ashes whilst hanging on them: But those they intended to preserve alive, they dismiss'd, their Hands half cut, and still hanging by the Skin, to carry their Letters missive to those that fly from us and ly sculking on the Mountains, as an exprobation of their flight.

They snatcht young Babes from the Mothers Breasts, and then dasht out the brains of those innocents against the Rocks; others they cast into Rivers scoffing and jeering them, and call'd upon their Bodies when falling with derision, the true testimony of their Cruelty, to come to them, and inhumanely exposing others to their Merciless Swords, together with the Mothers that gave them Life.

Which the Spaniards no sooner perceived, but they, mounted on generous Steeds, well weapon'd with Lances and Swords, begin to exercise their bloody Butcheries and Strategems, and overrunning their Cities and Towns, spar'd no Age, or Sex, nay not so much as Women with Child, but ripping up their Bellies, tore them alive in pieces. They laid Wagers among themselves, who should with a Sword at one blow cut, or divide a Man in two; or which of them should decollate or behead a Man, with the greatest dexterity; nay farther, which should sheath his Sword in the Bowels of a Man with the quickest dispatch and expedition.

Now being oppressed by such evil usage, and afflicted with such greate Torments and violent Entertainment they began to understand that such Men as those had not their Mission from Heaven; and therefore some of them conceal'd their Provisions and others to their Wives and Children in lurking holes, but some, to avoid the obdurate and dreadful temper of such a Nation, sought their Refuge on the craggy tops of Mountains; for the Spaniards did not only entertain them with Cuffs, Blows, and wicked Cudgelling, but laid violent hands also on the Governours of Cities; and this arriv'd at length to that height of Temerity and Impudence, that a certain Captain was so audacious as abuse the Consort of the most puissant King of the whole Isle. From which time they began to consider by what wayes and means they might expel the Spaniards out of their Countrey, and immediately took up Arms. But, good God, what Arms, do you imagin? Namely such, both Offensive and Defensive, as resemble Reeds wherewith Boys sport with one another, more than Manly Arms and Weapons.

Of the Island HISPANIOLA.

In this Isle, which, as we have said, the Spaniards first attempted, the bloody slaughter and destruction of Men first began: for they violently forced away Women and Children to make them Slaves, and ill-treated them, consuming and wasting their Food, which they had purchased with great sweat, toil, and yet remained dissatisfied too, which every one according to his strength and ability, and that was very inconsiderable (for they provided no other Food than what was absolutely necessary to support Nature without superfluity, freely bestow'd on them, and one individual Spaniard consumed more Victuals in one day, than would serve to maintain Three Families a Month, every one consisting of Ten Persons.

Cerberus  (SUR-buh-rus)



Hades' guard dog, a relative of both the Chimaera and the Hydra. Cerberus was carried up from Hades by Heracles in one his Labors. This was achieved only after a protracted battle in which the hero was mauled by the hound's fangs and menaced by snakes growing from his back and tail. In contrast, Cerberus abandoned his watchdog task and lay down meekly to the strains of Orpheus's lyre when that minstrel journeyed to the Underworld in search of his dead wife Eurydice. The poison used in Medea's attempt to murder Theseus was made from Cerberus's drool.

Version in Harry Potter's world: Fluffy





Fluffy is a large, vicious, three-headed dog who was once cared for by Rubeus Hagrid. Fluffy's greatest weakness is the inability to resist falling asleep to the sound of music.

Rubeus Hagrid originally purchased Fluffy from a "Greek chappie" at The Leaky Cauldron. Hagrid loaned Fluffy to the headmaster, to aid in guarding the Philosopher's Stone, during the 1991â€"1992 school year.



Fluffy while sleeping before the trio enter its room


Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, along with Neville Longbottom, first encountered Fluffy when Draco Malfoy challenged Harry to a duel, which he accepted. When Hermione tried to stop Harry and Ron from sneaking out later that night, she found herself locked out of the Gryffindor Tower, as the Fat Lady had left sometime earlier, and ended up going along with them. Neville Longbottom, who had forgotten the password to the common room and was sleeping on the floor outside, joined them as well. When they arrived at the Trophy Room, the intended site of the duel, Malfoy was nowhere to be found. To avoid being caught by Argus Filch, they ran away and end up in the forbidden area on the third floor, staring at a massive three-headed dog. Despite being furious about having broken countless school rules, Hermione had noticed that the dog was standing on a trap door, and clearly guarding something. They later deduced, from hints about Nicolas Flamel dropped unintentionally by Hagrid, that this "something" was the Philosopher's Stone.



Fluffy angry-looking after the trio disturbed them


Later that year, Hagrid happily told the trio that he had a won a dragon egg in a card game at the Hog's Head. Thinking that it was too much of a coincidence that, as Hagrid had always dreamed of owning a dragon, someone just happened to show up at the local pub with a dragon egg, the trio questioned Hagrid about the supposed Dragon dealer. Upon finding out that Hagrid had never even seen the man's face, as he wore a hood, yet Hagrid had drunkenly told him how to get past Fluffy, they came to the horrifying conclusion that the hooded man must have been Severus Snape, when it was really Professor Quirrell Before Hagrid told Quirrel, though he didn't know it was Quirrel, Hagrid and Dumbledore were the only ones who knew how to get past Fluffy.  As that meant the stone was no longer safe, they decided to go after Snape themselves, and Harry brought along the Flute that Hagrid had given him for Christmas, to use in lulling Fluffy to sleep. Arriving at the room, they noticed an enchanted Harp at a sleeping Fluffy's feet, and believed that Professor Snape was already on his way to retrieving the stone. Fluffy soon awoke, as the enchantment on the harp wore off, and it stopped playing. As Harry played the flute, which almost immediately put Fluffy back to sleep, Ron crept over to the trap door and opened it, but was unable to see anything below. Hermione took over playing the flute, while Harry jumped in first, followed by Ron. After they called up to Hermione that it was safe, she stopped playing and jumped down the trap door just in time, as Fluffy woke up as soon as the music stopped.

After Fluffy's duties were done, and the Stone was destroyed, Hagrid set Fluffy free in the Forbidden Forest. Presumably, he is still there, as it is never stated that he was removed from the forest when Voldemort was there. -- http://harrypotter.wikia.com/

Si SPO4 Rey Cuyos sa Homicide Section niingon nga si Butch gidakop kay gitudlo siya sa saksi nga maoy nipusil kang Cabase.

“Bisan nakasala si Cabase niya, dili rason ang pagpusil kay amo pud siya (Butch) dakpon,” matod ni Cuyos.

Si Juliet nga nahinabi sa Sun.Star Cebu niingon nga andam siyang mosaksi batok sa iyang uyab nga si Cabase.

Siya niingon nga nakakita siya dihang gidunggab ni Cabase ang iyang ig-agaw apan wa siya mahibawo nga ang lain niyang ig-agaw nga si Butch maoy nipusil sa iyang uyab.

Si Butch gibilanggo usab samtang gihikay ang kaso batok kaniya. --Kimberly Amoin and Mary Ann Catalan-USJR Masscom Interns

Usa ka buto sa pusil ang nisunod ug naigo si Cabase sa tiyan. Dali siyang gidala sa ospital aron tambalan.

Dugang imbestigasyon sa kapulisan nagbutyag nga si Butch, igsuon ni Fritz, ang nipusil kang Cabase.

Sa interbyu sa Sun.Star Cebu, si Butch nanghimakak sa pasangil batok kaniya.

Si Butch ug pamilya ni Fritz niadto sa Homicide Section aron interbyuhon sa kamatayon sa iyang igsuon, apan nakugang siyang gidakop sa mga pulis paglabay sa pipila ka minutos.

“Niari ko para sa kamatayon sa akong igsuon, ila man nuon ko gidakop. Ako pay namatyan ako pay gidakop,” matod ni Butch.

Nasuko si Cabase ug nagkalalis ang duha nga nisangko sa ilang pagsinukmagay. Nauwang sila sa mga silingan.

Si Fritz nisulod sa ilang balay aron unta maligo, apan si Cabase nga niuli, nibalik nga nagdala og kutsilyo ug gidunggab ang biktima sa makadaghang mga higayon.

Nakaangkon og samad sa liog, dunggan ug likod ang biktima nga daling gidala sa Miller Hospital, apan namatay.

Paglabay sa usa ka oras, si Juliet (di tinuod niyang ngan), 17, pag-umangkon sa biktima ug maoy hinigugma sa suspek, nga hangyuon si Cabase nga magkita sila sa atubangan sa usa ka tunghaan sa Brgy. Basak San Nicolas.

Dihang niabot si Cabase, nakugang siya kay diha ang ilang mga silingan ug mga kaliwat sa biktima.

Giingong gimandoan siya sa pag-adto sa balay sa biktima, apan gikulata una siya sa mga silingan sa biktima.

He he, happy pud tingali ang motel operators...

Gisuhid gilayon niya ang lugar diin nagpahipi ang maong tawo sa pag-abot niini nakalakaw na kinig pipila ka dupa gikan sa ilahang panimalay hinungdan nga gitawag niya.

‘Kinsa man ka? Kinsay pangalan nimo? Nganong naa man ka diha sa ngitngit!, pero kalit nga miatubang kaniya dayon bunot sa armas aron unta siya pusilon apan naunhan niya kay nangandam na siyang daan,” dugang ni PO1 Pableo.

Gipadayag niini nga wala gyud siya mokumpiyansa niadtong higayuna kay nagtuo siya nga dautang tawo gyud ang iyahang ikabagat hinungdan nga dali siyang naka-self defense.

Giklaro niini nga wala gyud siya makaila kang Sab-a, ug pag­kabuntag nalang niya nahibaw-an nga taga pikas Barangay hinungdan nga nagtuo siya nga dunay laing dautang tuyo diha sa lugar.

Pero wala siya magtuo nga siyay target niini apan bisan pa man, wala silay kompiyansa gi-safety niya karon ang iyang pamil­ya samtang siya nitahan sa Moalboal police.

Laing nasayran sa kapulisan nga ang amahan ni PO1 Pableo, kanhi pulis, napatay kini didto sa lungsod sa Alcantara dihang gi-ambusan pipila na katuig ang nakalabay.

Si PO1 Pableo, nahinabi sa dySS Super Radyo ug Sun.Star Superbalita, niingon nga wala siya magtuo nga may kalambigitan kini sa pagpusil-patay sa iyahang amahan.

Gipadayag niini nga posibli dunay tawong gikalagutan si Sab-a sa ilang dapit o kaha mangawat kini hinungdan nga diha sa ngitngit duol sa iyang panimalay nagpahipi.

“Pag-abot nako sa amoa sakay sa akong motorsiklo gikan sa duty, kaadlawon na mipahibalo akong silingan nga ayaw kompiyansa kay dunay armadong tawo diha nga nagpahipi,” dugang ni PO1 Pableo.

Wala sila maglangay nitawag gilayon siyag back-up sa Moalboal Police Station nga gitawgan sab sa ilang mga silingan kabahin niini.

Gidali nila sa pagpasakay sa ambulansiya ug gidala sa tambalanan sa Badian apan gideklarar nga DOA human wala makaagwanta sa samad pinusilan sa iyang tiyan gikan sa bala sa 9mm pistol ni PO1 Pableo.

Ilahang nakuha sa possession ni Sab-a, ang usa ka .38 revolver nga may duha ka buhing bala samtang, si PO1 Pableo bulontaryong nitahan sa kapulisan sa Moalboal.

Matod ni PO3 Illut, usa ka concerned citizen maoy nitaho kanila kabahin sa armadong tawo nga nagpahipi sa ngitngit duol sa panimalay ni PO1 Pableo.

Dugang nakuha sa imbestigasyon sa kapulisan, si Sab-a gii­ngong ‘napasmo-pasmo’ tungod sa pagsigeg inom ug walay kaon.

Ang kapulisan sa Moalboal mopalawom sa ilang imbestigasyon.

Bwahaha! My best read so far today.

The French have spent centuries making fun of us for our puritanism, and now they feel the unbearable sting of our mockery, as our press and comedians chortle at a mediocre pol caught up in a melodrama with all the erotic charge of week-old Camembert. (Maybe that’s why the French got so swept up in the ridiculous but glamorous rumor about Obama and Beyoncé.)

All those French expressions we siphon because English isn’t nuanced enough â€" finesse, etiquette, savoir-faire, rendezvous, je ne sais quoi, comme il faut â€" Hollande flouted.

In the minds of many here, the French president is a loser because he’s so unrefined he might as well be American.

Before the dinner, Colbert joked that if the first lady were just the last person you slept with, America’s would have been Monica Lewinsky in 1998. He later crowed about the significance of his placement, yelling “I’m the first lady of France! Merci!” as he was showered with roses. His project, he said, would be “bringing Jean Valjean to justice.”

The nation that once worshipped Jerry Lewis was flummoxed by this “terrible faux pas,” as it was dubbed. (Even though Colbert shares a name with a top adviser to Louis XIV, many harbor dark suspicions that he’s Irish.) They wondered how a late-night comic outranked Christine Lagarde, a possible contender to succeed Hollande? Why were more French luminaries not invited? Why did Mary J. Blige sing for Hollande “Ne Me Quitte Pas,” a famous Jacques Brel chanson begging a lover not to leave?

Did Michelle, Le Point snarked, think she was providing Colbert with “fresh material” for another searing sketch?

“The concept of the first lady doesn’t exist in France, and even less the first mistress,” sniffed Olivier de Rohan, a vicomte and head of a foundation that protects French art. “The protocol in France is very strict. It is not a question of choice or pleasure. The wife of the president of the republic was always seated as the wife, never paraded as the first lady. I don’t care with whom Hollande sleeps. But the whole thing is totally ridiculous, the head of a great state exhibiting mistresses, one after the other.”

Or as one French journalist murmured, “All this, in the place where de Gaulle was.”

Over good wine and small portions across Paris, there was appalled discussion that Stephen Colbert, who had filleted Hollande’s shenanigans on his show, was seated to the right of Michelle Obama at the state dinner, in the magic circle with the president where Trierweiler would have been, had she not been trundled off to the love guillotine.

“In France, it would be extremely rude to do that,” Rohan said about Colbert. “The Americans have no protocol.”

Many now suspect the 59-year-old Hollande, a.k.a. The Living Marshmallow, allowed Mistress No. 1, beautiful 48-year-old Paris Match writer Valérie Trierweiler, to play the role of first concubine to distract her from his affair with Mistress No. 2, gorgeous 41-year-old actress Julie Gayet. Gayet is a committed Socialist who worked on Hollande’s campaign, making kittenish support videos and sporting an “I only date Super Heroes” T-shirt.

To assuage Trierweiler for being dubbed “a concubine” in the press, the Rottweiler â€" as she’s known for her aggressive moves in person and on Twitter â€" got Élysée offices, a staff of four and a monthly budget of $27,000.

But that created some mal de mer among the French, even before the White House had to destroy all its invitations with Valerie’s name when she squared off with her rival, went to the hospital with a case of “the blues,” and was dumped by Hollande in a terse press “communiqué” two weeks before his visit to Washington.

“The whole problem with this Hollande scandal is that he is not married,” says Jean-Marie Rouart, the French novelist. “Had he been married, this affair would never have been revealed.”

He observed that, as an “elected monarch,” the president has to maintain appearances. “In France, having a mistress is not considered cheating,” he says. “We are not a puritanical country. France is Catholic. We accept sin and forgiveness.”

It’s bad enough to hide under a helmet and dismiss your security and go incognito on an Italian scooter to have a tryst in an apartment that is a stone’s throw from the Élysée Palace and has some tenuous connection to the Corsican Mafia. But everyone here except François Hollande seems to agree: You do not install one mistress at the Élysée when you have another mistress. That is simply bad form.

Why should the tabloids stick to the rule of the French press to ignore the private lives of presidents if Hollande breaks the rule of French presidents to lead an “exemplary” public life, which means having a real wife to cheat on?

PARIS â€" ONLY the French could have an etiquette scandal.

Let Americans get in a lather over peccadillos of state. The French are lamenting the state of propriety. No one in the land of Napoleon is following the code. And it is putting the citoyens of this once luminous empire in a dark mood. They are less concerned about their president’s slamming-door farcical adventures in amour than they are about the blow to their amour-propre. They fret that their image is more Feydeau than Rousseau.

On this Saint-Valentin weekend, as people join un kiss flash mob at the Louvre, we face another Gallic paradox, like the one about red wine and foie gras keeping you thin.

The analysis revealed 12 VOCs were consistently present in the earwax of all the men. However, the amount of VOCs varied as a function of the subject's ethnic background, with Caucasians having greater amounts of 11 of the 12 VOCs than East Asians.

"In essence, we could obtain information about a person's ethnicity simply by looking in his ears. While the types of odourants were similar, the amounts were very different," said study lead author Katharine Prokop-Prigge, a Monell chemist.

Prokop-Prigge said that at least two odour-producing metabolic diseases (maple syrup urine disease and alkaptonuria) can be identified in earwax before they can be diagnosed using traditional blood and urine analysis.

"Odours in earwax may be able to tell us what a person has eaten and where they have been. Earwax is a neglected body secretion whose potential as an information source has yet to be explored," said Preti.

Earwax, scientifically known as cerumen, is a mixture of secretions from specialised sweat glands with fatty materials secreted from sebaceous glands. It can have one of two physical types: a wet yellow-brown wax or a dry white wax.

Preti's interest in earwax was piqued by the finding that a small change in a gene known as ABCC11 is related both to underarm odour production and also to whether a person has wet or dry earwax.

Individuals of East Asian (eg, Chinese, Korean and Japanese) and Native American descent have a form of the ABCC11 gene that codes both for dry-type earwax and also for reduced underarm body odour relative to individuals of other ethnicities, who typically produce a wet-type ear wax and greater body odour, researchers said.

To explore whether earwax has a characteristic odour, the researchers collected earwax from 16 healthy men: eight Caucasian and eight of East Asian descent.

Each sample was placed into a vial gently heated for 30 minutes to promote release of airborne molecules known as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), many of which are odorous.

An absorbent device was then inserted through the vial's cap to collect VOCs from the closed containers, and the chemical compounds were analysed.

Earwax can provide information about a person's ethnicity, health and even tell what they have eaten, scientists say.

Scientists from the Monell Center in Philadelphia found that odour-producing chemical compounds are present in human earwax.

They also found that the amount of these compounds differ between individuals of East Asian origin and Caucasians.

"Our previous research has shown that underarm odours can convey a great deal of information about an individual, including personal identity, gender, sexual orientation, and health status," said study senior author George Preti, an organic chemist at Monell.

"We think it possible that earwax may contain similar information," Preti said.

Islander in the role of Selene...

Hmm, I was actually thinking of something like this...

But now, with the ability to control the entire world actually conceivable, the paranoia of the Antichrist showing up has become quite the pandemic. Most terrorists believe he will be male, will arise in Europe, probably Western Europe, and some even swear that he will be French. Plenty are sure, however, that President Barack Obama is in fact the Antichrist. Numerologists believe that the Antichrist is not yet old enough, but will make his appearance at the age of 30, symbolically equal to Jesus beginning his ministry. Worldwide terrorism, the current U. S. led war on it in the hotbed of political unrest, and the fact that almost every Arab nation seems to be threatening an invasion of Israel at every second, all serve to make this one feel very real. Every day CNN is loaded with horror stories about the Holy Land, and it just seems to keep getting worse. “The end is near.” -- http://listverse.com/

The Antichrist





Satan And Demon BabySatan is alive on Earth, and has created the Antichrist, who is, at this moment, not quite old enough to seize power, but will in only a few years. He will do so in a very political manner, taking over some powerful organization, such as the United Nations.

Every generation, since St. John the Divine wrote the Revelation, has sworn that it would witness the Great Tribulation, Armageddon, and the second coming of Jesus. “The end is near,” everyone has been saying.

Now, though, with the advent of global communications, especially the Internet, the theory has swelled exponentially. Christians who previously didn’t think much of it have changed their minds. It can be argued that the worldwide availability of press coverage only serves to heighten fear of terrible things happening at any moment. 9/11 was the most well covered, watched tragedy in human history. Whenever a tragedy occurs, people who believe in the Christian end-times scenarios flock to church to pray away their fear.

Russia now has 15 total medals, followed closely by the Netherlands and the US who have 14 each. Germany still holds the highest number of gold medals at seven.

Hurra, jawohl!

US medal favorites Shani Davis and Julia Mancuso landed off the podium in their events, the men’s 1,000-meter speed skate and the women’s super-giant.

Russia now has 15 total medals, followed closely by the Netherlands and the US who have 14 each. Germany still holds the highest number of gold medals at seven.

In other events, Austria’s Anna Fenninger pulled off a surprise victory in the women’s downhill super-giant and her teammate Nicole Hoso took bronze. Poland’s Kamil Stoch continued his dominance of men’s ski jumping, pulling in a gold in the large hill after taking home the top hardware in the normal hill jump earlier this week.

In non-medal events, the US and Russian men’s ice hockey team played a thrilling match in round one of group play. The US won in a shootout to take the game 3-2.

“The Russians looked stone-cold even with the US,” wrote Mark Sappenfield the Monitor’s correspondent in Sochi. “Yes, each team had different strengths and weaknesses. The US lacked the skill of Russia's top two forward lines. Russia lacked the forward and defensive depth of the Americans. But on balance, it was a wash, and the 2-2 score seemed just about right.”

Sochi Olympics gold medal count: Russia takes the lead
Russia jumps to the top of the Olympic medal count chart Saturday for the first time in these Winter Games.

Russia surged to the top of the Olympic medal count standings Saturday for the first time, drawing on strong performances in speed skating and skeleton.

Victor An, the former South Korean short track speed skater who became a Russian citizen for these Games, won gold in the 1,000-meter short track race Saturday. He was tailed by his Russian teammate Vladimir Gigorev who took home silver in the event.

Russia won a surprise gold in men’s skeleton after Alexander Tretiakov knocked off the defending World Champion, Martin Dukurs from Latvia, who settled for silver. The event also yielded Team USA’s sole medal of the day when Matthew Antoine claimed bronze.

Volunteers smuggle stray dogs out of Sochi - Window to the Winter Games

There is an emerging movement of animal activists in Sochi alarmed by reports that the city has contracted the killing of thousands of stray dogs before and during the Olympic Games. Volunteers are collecting dogs from the Olympic area and taking them to find homes.

Stray dogs are a common sight on the streets of Russian cities, but with massive construction in the area the street dog population in Sochi and the Olympic park has soared. Useful as noisy, guard dogs, workers feed them to keep them nearby and protect buildings. They soon lose their value and become strays. Tonight, a few dogs will be taken on their way to a new life in Moscow. (Reuters)
