Amazingly this is not far beyond the recognized world’s tallest living man â€" Xi Shun (7′ 8.95″). Allen has since spent her life traveling around the world encouraging people that it is OK to be different. Allen was born in 1955, at age 22 she underwent surgery to stop her growth. Without this she would have continued to grow and suffer further medical problems associated with gigantism.

The Inabanga River is 25 kilometers long and is seven to 10 meters deep. It is said to be wider than the Loboc river. A must see area along the river is the place called Macaban Cave, an underwater cave whose entrance can be seen from above the water level. The place is also called Macaban City by the locals since it is believed to be inhabited by supernatural beings or enkantos. The Inabanga Nature Park and Fishing Village is a two-hectare park and boasts of a restaurant that serves fresh seafood and native dishes and also has a fishpond where guests can catch tilapia and have these cooked.

Kining nahitabo sa Corella water system, wala usa nga mabasol , tungod kay nauyonan man sa mga opisyales sa Corella sa legal nga pamaagi.

Tinuod na Brad nga ang mga batan-on karon dili na hilig sa panguma. Tungod ba kaha sa atong abnormal weather condition, nga panahon sa tingbasak igo rang makatanom ug unya moinit ug nangliki ang mga basakan. Didto na lang sila nanarbaho sa Tagbilaran ug karon kadaghanan mga skilled laborer na sila. Wala sila nagkalisod-lisod kay kugi nangitag tarbaho.

Tinuod na Brad nga segi kog sakay sa service Ni Mayor Rapal. Lisod man balibaran kon nahiagian ka nga nagbagtas unya abnihon ka nga mosakay sa iyang service.

Magpasalamat kita nga nakahatag ta ug dakong bahandi didto sa Tagbilaran City, ang atong tubig.  Sulod sa 20 ka tuid nga kontrata sa BWUI,  dili man tingali mahurot ang tubig. Kon dili man gani ma retract ang maong kontrata sa sunod nga mga opisyales,paabuton na lang nato ang 20 ka tuig.

Ang atong lungsod sa Corella nahimo na karon nga virgin forest. Daghan nang onggoy diri sa Canangcaan didto dapit sa boundary sa Sikatuna ug Balilihan.  

Wala nay nagbaol diha sa among dapit aron tamnan ug ubi. Ang ilang gipananom gemilina kay usa man sad ni nga programa sa DENR. Natinuod gyud ang gi slogan ni DEPEd Secretary Ricardo T. Gloria," Plant trees and bring back the birds." Daghan nang tarseir diha sa Corella, ug uban pang mga langgam.

SWS December 27-28, 2009 National Survey: Aquino 52% and Villar 44% in a one-on-one scenario

In view of sponsor-authorized releases of a commissioned survey, SWS is disclosing the survey's pertinent results and technical details, for the benefit of the public.

The special SWS December 27-28, 2009 national survey, sponsored by San Juan Representative Ronaldo Zamora, asked the question: "Sa mga sumusunod na pangalan sa listahang ito, sino po ang malamang ninyong iboboto bilang PRESIDENTE ng Pilipinas, kung ang eleksyon ay gaganapin ngayon?" [Among the names found in this list, who will you probably vote for as PRESIDENT of the Philippines, if elections were held today?].

From a list showing the names of Benigno Aquino III and Manuel Villar, Jr. only, 52% chose Aquino and 44% chose Villar [table 1]. The same list was tested in the October 1-4, 2009 survey, commissioned by Ms. Avic Amarillo, which found 65% for Aquino and 28% for Vil

Pangasius, the New Food to the Pilipinos

Growing pangasius is far more easy than growing tilapia and bangus. This freshwater fish can be cultured in fishponds, concrete fish tanks, fish cages and fish pens. For earthen ponds, experts recommend around 1,600 sq. m or at least 400 sq.m. Suitable depth is about 1.5 to two meters.

Pangasius is a tropical warm water catfish that grows to a maximum of 1.3 meters in length and 44 kilograms. It is an air-breathing fish (bi-modal respiration), which enables it to tolerate low dissolved oxygen levels. Under semi-intensive fishpond culture, the fish can reach 1 kilogram harvest weight from 20-gram fingerling within 6 months culture period.

Fast growth and high survival rate offers opportunity for fish farmers to achieve far more production and income per unit area compared to traditional farmed fishes. However, it also has to consume more feeds, thus higher production expenses. Acceptable feed conversion ratio (FCR) for the fish is 1.5. This means 1.5 kilograms of feeds is required to produce 1 kilo of fish.

Farming pangasius

Culture requirements and methods for pangasius are very similar to those of tilapia. It can be grown in fishponds and fish cages. It can also be polycultured or can be grown in integrated and organic farming culture system.

BFAR-NIFTC recommends stocking density at five pieces per square meter for fishponds and five to 15 pieces per cubic meter for fish cages. Feeding rate starts at 5 percent of body weight down to 2.5 percent at the end of six-month culture period. Feeding is done twice daily.

Projected net income from a 1,000 square meter fishpond is P121,216.00 from expenses of P165,613.00 pesos at farm gate price of 90 pesos. There are available commercial pangasius feeds in the market however, tilapia feeds can also be used.

Fish farmers can cut production expenses by using "kuhol" or Golden apple snail as feed supplement as shown by a research conducted by the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources Regional Office No. 02 in Cabarroguis, Quirino. Considered as pest in rice fields, kuhol is an ideal supplemental feeds for pangasius due to its high protein content of about 54 percent.

The research has shown that higher income can be achieved by using 40 percent kuhol mixed with 60 percent commercial feeds. The harvest weight using this feeding scheme was 712.5 grams.

Dr. Jovita Ayson, BFAR-2 regional director, said that the fish can also be fed with vegetable and fruit trimmings and surplus and rice bran under organic culture system.

“Pangasius can be turned to so many dishes just like the locally available fishes that we are used to and it is also advantageous since it is meaty, has no intermuscular spines with good quality flesh.”

Human Cloning Foundation it is clear that many people would support human cloning in the following situations:

1) A couple has one child then they become infertile and cannot have more children.  Cloning would enable such a couple to have a second child, perhaps a younger twin of the child they already have.

2) A child is lost soon after birth to a tragic accident.  Many parents have written the HCF after losing a baby in a fire, car accident, or other unavoidable disaster.  These grief stricken parents often say that they would like to have their perfect baby back.  Human cloning would allow such parents to have a twin of their lost baby, but it would be like other twins, a unique individual and not a carbon copy of the child that was lost under heartbreaking circumstances.

3) A woman who through some medical emergency ended up having a hysterectomy before being married or having children. Such women have been stripped of their ability to have children. These women need a surrogate mother to have a child of their own DNA, which can be done either by human cloning or by in vitro fertilization.

4) A boy graduates from high school at age 18. He goes to a pool party to celebrate. He confuses the deep end and shallow end and dives head first into the pool, breaking his neck and becoming a quadriplegic. At age 19 he has his first urinary tract infection because of an indwelling urinary catheter and continues to suffer from them the rest of his life. At age 20 he comes down with herpes zoster of the trigeminal nerve. He suffers chronic unbearable pain. At age 21 he inherits a 10 million dollar trust fund. He never marries or has children. At age 40 after hearing about Dolly being a clone, he changes his will and has his DNA stored for future human cloning. His future mother will be awarded one million dollars to have him and raise him. His DNA clone will inherit a trust fund. He leaves five million to spinal cord research. He dies feeling that although he was robbed of normal life, his twin/clone will lead a better life.

5) Two parents have a baby boy. Unfortunately the baby has muscular dystrophy. They have another child and it's another boy with muscular dystrophy. They decide not to have any more children. Each boy has over 20 operations as doctors attempt to keep them healthy and mobile. Both boys die as teenagers. The childless parents donate their estate to curing muscular dystrophy and to having their boys cloned when medical science advances enough so that their DNA can live again, but free of muscular dystrophy.

Human cloning - part two - why investors don't like cloning

Human cloning means designer people with known pedigree. This is the ultimate pedigree child. Cloning of human embryos has already been achieved - see below. Successful cloning of adults has been announced but not yet proven. It is only a matter of time, months or a very few years before human cloning is a reality for anyone with enough cash, willing to take the risks of a hideously malformed or emotionally damaged child.

Human cloning of a baby could have happened more than once last year - how would you know? Human cloning headlines are usually at least two years behind what's really going on - see below. What you really need to be asking is what scientists will be saying in press conferences in 2010 about their human cloning research, talking about work that they actually did in 2005.

What follows was written in 2003 and is important background on human cloning research

One thing is beyond any doubt: despite huge risks, and widespread public condemnation, by January 2001, many different scientists across the world were already locked in a race to clone the first human, as a baby for TV cameras.

Huge amounts of money are at stake in human cloning research. Teams have announced their aim, many people have come forward with offers of eggs, their own adult cells and money - and the US still has no laws to prevent human cloning from happening, nor do most other countries of the world.

The headlines above first came nearer reality on 23 Feb 1997 when world media reported the existence of Dolly the sheep: cloned from an adult. I had predicted the Dolly headline in 1993, in my book The Genetic Revolution. A few days later, the Edinburgh scientists admitted that frozen cells had been used to make Dolly, having seemed to deny it when the story first broke. That meant that animals (and in theory people) could be cloned after death. US scientists also revealed that they had cloned monkeys (using cells from an embryo). The British scientist responsible for Dolly admitted to a Parliamentary committee (6 March 1997) that human cloning could be possible in two to three years (after vigorous denials by many embryologists). I had been saying the same from the moment the story broke.
Made in America, born elsewhere

President Clinton launched an immediate 90 day report into the implications for human cloning as soon as the news of Dolly became public. Norway did the same while the EC urgently considered a response. The news on human cloning experiments exposed the fact that most nations of the world had little or no legislation covering genetic engineering. This has to change.

Clinton announced in May 1997 that human cloning should be banned. He was warmly applauded. However, what he went on to say was that the proposed ban was only for 5 years, and that nuclear transfer experiments (basic human cloning technique) could continue, though not with government money. In other words "Clones may be made, but not born for the next five years". However, Clinton could not even deliver - his own partial ban was thrown out by Congress. Meanwhile UK Parliament in January 2001 made experimental creation of human clones legal, so long as the embryos were made for medical research and destroyed before implantation.

Richard Seed said over two years ago that he was "a few weeks" from his human cloning experiments. He has attracted money and people. I've met him and debated with him on TV. He has been followed by Clonaid, a new human cloning organisation with cash and 300 couples ready to start. Dr Seed declared that he cannot be stopped from human cloning under current US law, and if human cloning laws are changed he will move the work to Mexico. He has announced a human cloning lab for Japan - purchase of land and $15 million backing. Every week there is another mammal cloning headline. Dolly the sheep gave birth to a healthy lamb, Bonny. In July 1998 came rumours of a cloned mouse, Mickey, created by Dr Ryuzo Yanagimachi, University of Hawaii. In November 1998, we heard that Japanese scientists had already cloned cows from milk - cells in the milk. If you want to see the staggering pace of human cloning announcements - check out our human cloning news summary.

As I say, remember that what you hear today is not what is going on now, its already old history. And some scientists in the field are determined to keep it that way. Hence you only knew about Dolly's creation when she was already 7 months old - more on this below. Another example of secrecy was the extraordinary announcement by Advanced Cell Technology, Massachusetts on 12 November 1998 that three years previously they managed to take the nucleus from a human cell from Dr Jose Cibelli and insert it into a cows egg. The human genes activated and the egg began to divide. They destroyed it at the 32 cell stage, well on the way to becoming a Dr Cibelli's clone. This research was more spectacular than Dolly, yet carried out years earlier with a total news blackout. More recently in March 2001 Australian scientists said they had been carrying on similar secret human cloning experiments using human cells and pig eggs for over two years. What I want to know is this: what are they doing today that they won't be talking about till 2002 or 2003 or perhaps 2004?
The public has a right to know

It has been good to see truth about cloning begin to prevail, after deliberate under-playing of the news by so-called "experts" in a damage limitation exercise to prevent destruction of their research grants by public demand. They have been scared by public reaction. They think the public has no real understanding and so these matters should be kept from the public eye, discussed only by scientists and ethical committees. But these committees are dominated by the industry.

What will be the next human cloning headline? You can be sure that we will see a continuous stream of new revelations now that has become politically acceptable for scientists to come out of the woodwork and talk about these things.
"I want to clone my dad and have him as a baby"

Just before the announcement of Dolly the sheep, someone e-mailed me asking if she could clone her dead father. The answer of course is yes, so long as living cells have been kept in culture, taken from before death, or have been frozen in an appropriate manner. She is also willing to be cloned herself. These are important issues, not science fiction. I had another e-mail from a man offering to volunteer to be cloned. Scott writes "Do you need any volunteers for human cloning experiments?"

Let me make it absolutely clear that I am opposed to human cloning on ethical grounds. It is open to gross abuse. It undermines the uniqueness of the individual and raises profound religious and ethical questions.
Three reasons not to clone: (Press here for more)

1. Health risks from mutation of genes - an abnomal baby would be a nightmare come true. Huge risks of mutations - of a monster. Just look at what has happened in animal experiments. You can't always spot the mutations or developmental abnormalities by gene testing, nor by ultrasound scans, until after birth.

2. Emotional risks - child grows up knowing her mother is her sister, her grandmother is her mother. Every time her mother looks at her she is seeing herself growing up. Unbearable emotional pressures on a teenager trying to establish his or her identity. What happens to a marriage when the "father" sees his wife's clone grow up into the exact replica (by appearance) of the beautiful 18 year old he fell in love with 35 years ago? A sexual relationship would of course be with his wife's twin, no incest involved technically.

3. Risk of abuse of the technology - see below.
Reasons people may want human cloning:

Reasons why people want human cloning may be rational or irrational. That is not the point. The fact is that a recent US survey conducted by CNN found that 6% of US citizens think human cloning could be quite a good idea. Judging by people who leave comments on this website, the reasons may vary widely. Here are a few:

    *
      Recover someone who was loved - a twin, a reminder.
    *
      Infertility - rather than use donated sperm and eggs, why not use a cell of your own to give birth to "yourself", your own twin?
    *
      Eugenics - an attempt to improve the human race.
    *
      Megalomania - a desire to reproduce one's own qualities.
    *
      Spare parts - using a cell from your own body to duplicate yourself. Take tissue e.g. bone marrow, then offer baby for adoption.
    *
      Assisting medical research
    *
      Just curiosity

Ang Pinoy Big Brother ay isang palabas pang-realidad na pinapalabas ng ABS-CBN. Batay ang palabas na ito sa Big Brother na nagmula sa Netherlands noong 1999. Pumatok at kumalat ito sa buong mundo.


Mayroong 12 mga kasambahay (housemates) na hindi magkakakilala at magsasama sa loob ng iisang bahay sa loob ng 100 araw na hitik sa saya, lungkot, galit at iba pa na kasama sa telebisyong realidad. Babantayan sila ng 27 na mga kamera sa loob ng 24 na oras hanggang matapos ang serye. Kailangan nilang pakitunguhan ang isa't-isa ng mabuti at sumunod sa mga alituntunin ng "Bahay Ni Kuya" upang maiwasan ang mapalayas. Ito ang pinakamagastos na palabas ng ABS-CBN sa ngayon.

Para sa akin, kahit walang moral lesson na makuha natin, nanood ako para malibang habang nagpapalipas ng oras.

Kining akong saba bonjong tinuod man ne. Maayo na lang nga atong isaba basin ug manginto ni sila ug unta dili na mangurap kay  nabulgar na sila.  Kon maghilom na lang ta, mosamot ni sila ug kabuaya.

Hinaot unta nga magpanday ta ug balaod nga mawala ang atong  corruptions sa governo.

Dili  ko modagan bisan unsang elected position aron dili ko makasala.

Sa  bidding  pa sa mga government project diha magsugod ang corruption. Mao ni ang atong systema karon. Kinahanglan mag butang ka ug dako nga project aron ang governor o mayor maka corrupt.

Kining multi billion project sa Panglao INternational Airport, gamay ang kining giingon." inconsideration of 100 million".
