"We know for sure that a propensity for obesity - or its opposite, a propensity for leanness - is rooted in the genes.

so there we have it, the genes.  discrimination against size really has no place.  way kalainan sa kataw-an o kamenoson atong nawong, maayog atong gituyo nga genetic man tawon ang pagkahulma ani.   

"We know for sure that a propensity for obesity - or its opposite, a propensity for leanness - is rooted in the genes.  Some 70 per cent of the variation between people in terms of their amount of body fat is explained by inherited differences that are built into our genetic make-up and passed from generation to generation," he said.

"What our work has shown is that, rather unexpectedly, a lot of these genes primarily influence appetite and satiety, i.e. how hungry we get and/or how satisfied by a particular amount of food we are, rather than how fast or slow we burn off calories."

"Everyone has views about obesity and views are often rather fixed and based on personal experience or anecdote.  Obese people are significantly discriminated against.  Research tracking the careers of large numbers of US teenagers has shown that those who are fat go on to earn substantially less as adults than those who are not fat, and that is even when factors such as education, parental income and scholastic aptitude are accounted for," he said.

"To be blunt, in today's society it's definitely not ok to be racist or sexist and it's increasingly not ok to be ageist which is all to the good - but it still seems to be quite ok to be fattist even, and perhaps especially, in highly educated circles.  This isn't helping us with the serious science that will help provide some answers."

http://www.physorg.com/

At the core of the problem lies one immutable fact: this is the abundance of cheap food now available to almost everyone in the developed world, an "unnatural" situation that has evolved over the past 50 years, a period that is the merest blip in terms of human evolutionary history.

"Human beings are not genetically geared up to limitless high-calorie food being available to them 24/7.  We evolved as hunter gatherers.  If we all reverted to the lifestyle of our ancestors, the problem of obesity would disappear," said Professor O'Rahilly.  "But we live in the real world where you can purchase a takeaway meal, containing enough calories for a day, for less than £2 - so we need to look at the whole picture."

Why some people are lean and others fat

March 7, 2011

With an abundance of food available, it’s not surprising that people are getting fatter.  But why do some people remain lean?  A Cambridge University scientist suggests that the reason is rooted deep in our DNA.

There are few healthcare topics as emotive or contentious as obesity, a condition that currently affects 24 per cent of women and 23 per cent of men in the UK and is rapidly increasing.  What we eat and how we eat, what shape and weight we are, and how we view ourselves and our bodies, is the outcome of a complex web of physiological, psychological, cultural and social factors.

Yet people who are fat, let alone clinically obese, are often dismissed by their leaner peers as greedy, lazy and stupid. "Eat less and move more," they are repeatedly told. But it is not nearly as simple as that, says Professor Stephen O'Rahilly, Co-Director of the Institute of Metabolic Research, University of Cambridge, and one of the country's leading obesity researchers.

I have always been a big fan of Amorsolo.  I have seen his works when I was a child from the books of my older siblings, the Philippine Readers.  But, by the same token, since time immemorial, I was bothered by the fore-shortening of St. Michael's right arm brandishing a serrated sword in the "Marca Demonio" bottle label.  If you look closer, you'll think that the arm is somewhat attached to the Archangel's neck!

I am not pretending to be a better artist than my favorite Amorsolo, but I somehow moved the arm around a little to make it look more natural.



http://pinoy-comics-tv-movies.blogspot.com/

...before Amorsolo left for Spain, he designed the ever popular logo "Marca Demonio" used as the label of the well-known Ginebra San Miguel. This logo showed St. Michael vanquishing the devil.  A favorite drink in fiestas, weekend camaraderie, and other important celebrations, this graphic design eventually became the symbol of the Filipinos’ tenacity when facing adversities and crises; and also their vigilance to protect and fight for what is right.

why this gin earned the sobriquet "marca demonio" is what i'm also curious about.  the archangel michael is obviously the main focus in the label, as in the original painting, but how did it ever come to pass that we chose to call this drink by the devil that no one knows?  is it the '80 proof' proof?     

3.3 Angels

The "angels", (malakhim Greek angÄ›lÇ's) messengers, are the lowest order of the angels, and the most recognized. They are the ones most concerned with the affairs of living things. Within the category of the angels, there are many different kinds, with different functions. The angels are sent as messengers to mankind.

used, or misused, in a comics book kind of way, as a brand for a local gin:

3.2 Archangels

The word "archangel" comes from the Greek αρχάγγελοÏ, (archangÄ›lÇ's), meaning chief angel, a translation of the Hebrew ר×'־מלאך (rav-mal'ákh).  It derives from the Greek archō, meaning to be first in rank or power; and aggÄ›lÇ's which means messenger.  The word is only used twice in the New Testament: 1 Thessalonians 4:16 and Jude 1:9.  Only Archangels Gabriel and Michael are mentioned by name in the New Testament.

Michael is the only angel the Bible named expressly as "the" archangel.  In the Book of Daniel he is referred to as "one of the chief princes".  The word "prince" here is the ancient Hebrew word sar, which means: "a head person (of any rank or class), a chief, a general etc."

In most Christian traditions Gabriel is also considered an archangel, but there is no direct literal support for this assumption.

The name of the archangel Raphael appears only in the Book of Tobit (Tobias).  Tobit is considered Deuterocanonical by Roman Catholics (both Eastern and Western Rites) and Eastern Orthodox Christians.  The Book of Tobit is also read by Anglicans and Lutherans, but not by Reformed Christians or Baptists.  Raphael said to Tobias that he was "one of the seven who stand before the Lord", and it is generally believed that Michael and Gabriel are two of the other six.

A fourth Archangel is Uriel whose name literally means "Fire of God" or "Light of God."  Uriel's name is the only one not mentioned in the Lutheran Bible, but plays, however, a prominent role in an apocryphon read by Anglican and Russian Orthodox Christians: The second Book of Esdras (fourth Books of Esdras in the Latin Vulgate).  In the book he unveils seven prophecies to the prophet Ezra, after whom the book is named. He also plays a role in the apocryphal Book of Enoch, which is considered canonical only by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church.

Another possible interpretation of the seven archangels is that the seven are the seven spirits of God that stand before the throne described in the Book of Enoch, and in the Book of Revelation.

The Seven Archangels are said to be the guardian angels of nations and countries, and are concerned with the issues and events surrounding these, including politics, military matters, commerce and trade: e.g. Archangel Michael is traditionally seen as the protector of Israel and of the ecclesia (Gr. root ekklesia from the New Testament passages), theologically equated as the Church, the forerunner of the spiritual New Israel.

It is possible to make a distinction between archangel (with a lower-case a) and Archangel (with an uppercase A).  The former can denote the second-lowest choir (arch-angels in the sense of being just above the lowest Choir of angels that is called only "angels") but the latter may denote the highest of all the angels (i.e., Arch-angels in the sense of being above all angels, of any Choir. The seven highest Seraphim, Michael being the highest of all, once Satan fell).

3 Third Sphere

(Angels who function as heavenly messengers and soldiers.)

3.1 Principalities (or Rulers)

The "Principalities" (lat. principatus, pl. principatūs) also translated as "Princedoms" and "Rulers", from the Greek arche (see Greek root in Eph 3:10), appear to collaborate, in power and authority with the Powers (Authorities).

The Principalities are shown wearing a crown and carrying a sceptre.  Their duty also is said to be to carry out the orders given to them by the Dominions and bequeath blessings to the material world.  Their task is to oversee groups of people.  They are the educators and guardians of the realm of earth.  Like beings related to the world of the germinal ideas, they are said to inspire living things to many things such as art or science.

wiki/


According to tradition, Principalities can be distinguished from other angels in that
they wear a tiara with a cross upon it.

2.3 Powers (or Authorities)

The "Powers" (lat. potestas (f), pl. potestates), or "Authorities", from the Greek exousies, (see Greek root in Eph 3:10) appear to collaborate, in power and authority, with the Principalities (Rulers).

The Powers are the bearers of conscience and the keepers of history.  They are also the warrior angels created to be completely loyal to God.  Some believe that no Power has ever fallen from grace, but another theory states that Satan was the Chief of the Powers before he Fell (see also Ephesians 6:12).  Their duty is to oversee the distribution of power among humankind, hence their name.

Paul used the term rule and authority in Ephesians 1:21, and rulers and authorities in Ephesians 3:10.  He may have been referring to the rulers and authorities of humanity, instead of referring to angels.

wiki/


Powers Powers are Warrior Angels against evil defending
the cosmos and humans. They are known as potentates.

2.2 Virtues

The "Virtues" or "Strongholds" lie beyond the Ophanim (Thrones/Wheels).  Their primary duty is to supervise the movements of the heavenly bodies in order to ensure that the cosmos remains in order.

The term appears to be linked to the attribute "might", from the Greek root "δύναμιÏ," in Ephesians 1:21, which is also translated as "Virtue".  They are presented as the celestial Choir "Virtues" in the Summa Theologica.  Traditional theological conceptions of the Virtues might appear to describe the same Order called the Thrones (Gr. thronos), (in which case the Ophanim may not be the same thing as "Thrones").

From Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite's De Coelesti Hierarchia:

    "The name of the holy Virtues signifies a certain powerful and unshakable virility welling forth into all their Godlike energies; not being weak and feeble for any reception of the divine Illuminations granted to it; mounting upwards in fullness of power to an assimilation with God; never falling away from the Divine Life through its own weakness, but ascending unwaveringly to the superessential Virtue which is the Source of virtue: fashioning itself, as far as it may, in virtue; perfectly turned towards the Source of virtue, and flowing forth providentially to those below it, abundantly filling them with virtue."

wiki/


The Virtues, described as brilliant and shining ones,
and are usually represented as a group.

2 Second Sphere

(Angels of the Second Sphere work as heavenly governors.)

2.1 Dominions

The "Dominions" (lat. dominatio, plural dominationes, also translated from the Greek term kyriotites as "Lordships") are presented as the hierarchy of celestial beings "Lordships" in the De Coelesti Hierarchia.  The Dominions, also known as the Hashmallim, regulate the duties of lower angels.  It is only with extreme rarity that the angelic lords make themselves physically known to humans.  They are also the angels who preside over nations.

The Dominions are believed to look like divinely beautiful humans with a pair of feathered wings, much like the common representation of angels, but they may be distinguished from other groups by wielding orbs of light fastened to the heads of their scepters or on the pommel of their swords.

1.3 Thrones (or Ophanim)

The "Thrones" (Gr. thronos) or Elders, also known as the Erelim or Ophanim, are a class of celestial beings mentioned by Paul of Tarsus in Colossians 1:16 (New Testament).  They are living symbols of God's justice and authority, and have as one of their symbols the throne.  These high celestial beings appear to be mentioned again in Revelation 11:16.

The Ophanim (Heb. ofanim: Wheels, also known as Thrones, from the vision of Daniel 7:9) are unusual looking even compared to the other celestial beings; they appear as a beryl-colored wheel-within-a-wheel, their rims covered with hundreds of eyes.

They are closely connected with the Cherubim: "When they moved, the others moved; when they stopped, the others stopped; and when they rose from the earth, the wheels rose along with them; for the spirit of the living creatures [Cherubim] was in the wheels." Ezekiel 10:17 NRSV.

based on the description in Ezekiel.

1.2 Cherubim

Cherubim have four faces: one of each a man, an ox, a lion, and an eagle.  They have four conjoined wings covered with eyes, a lion's body figure, and they have ox's feet.  Cherubim guard the way to the tree of life in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:24) and the throne of God (Ezekiel 28:14-16).

The cherubim are mentioned in Genesis 3:24; Exodus 25:17-22; 2 Chronicles 3:7-14; Ezekiel 10:12â€"14, 28:14-16; 1 Kings 6:23â€"28; and Revelation 4:6-8.

Modern English usage has blurred the distinction between cherubim and putti.  Putti are the winged human baby/toddler-like beings traditionally used in figurative art.

St. Thomas Aquinas imagined Satan as a fallen Cherub.

1 First Sphere

1.1 Seraphim

Seraphim (singular "Seraph"), mentioned in Isaiah 6:1-7, serve as the caretakers of God's throne and continuously shout praises: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts.  All the earth is filled with His Glory."  The name Seraphim means "the burning ones."  The Seraphim have six wings.

Two of the Seraphim are named Seraphiel and Metatron, according to some books.  Seraphiel is said to have the head of an eagle.  It is said that such a bright light emanates from them that nothing, not even other angelic beings, can look upon them.  It is also said that there are four of them surrounding God's throne, where they burn eternally from love and zeal for God.

According to medieval Christian theologians, the angels are organized into several orders, or "Angelic Choirs".

the term 'choirs of angels', thus, refers to the classification of angels, not singing angels. artistic renderings throughout the ages portray them as such, though.  well, they sing praises to god anyway.

The Hierarchy of Angels

oh, yes, angels have "ranks" too.

The most influential Christian angelic hierarchy was that put forward by Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite in the 4th or 5th century in his book De Coelesti Hierarchia (The Celestial Hierarchy).

During the Middle Ages, many schemes were proposed, some drawing on and expanding on Pseudo-Dionysius, others suggesting completely different classifications.  According to medieval Christian theologians, the angels are organized into several orders, or "Angelic Choirs".

Pseudo-Dionysius (The Celestial Hierarchy) and Thomas Aquinas (Summa Theologica) drew on passages from the New Testament, specifically Ephesians 1:21 and Colossians 1:16, in an attempt to develop a schema of three Hierarchies, Spheres or Triads of angels, with each Hierarchy containing three Orders or Choirs.  Although both authors drew on the New Testament, the Biblical canon is relatively silent on the subject.  Thus these hierarchies are highly speculative.

thanks.  will do that before sleeping. 

i have resorted to alaxan (ibuprofen paracetamol) hours ago because the pain is rendering my left arm almost immobile (sometimes, i tackle the computer keys with only one hand; touch system for the keys is useless now).  it helped a bit.  this over-the-counter medicine scares me.  i know someone who has lupus because of this, or so she claims.  so i'm very spare about taking this.

as for sleeping, it's not so good.  the doctor had prescribed sleepasil.  she said it's no longer that easy to prescribe stillnox here because they need a special license for such medicines, and most of the licensed ones are psychiatrists.  it looks like sleepasil doesn't help much, especially if i'm agitated.

Padre Pio was a very gifted and holy man, not only was he gifted with the suffering of the Stigmata, but he was able to see the presence of Angels and demons. During one time, as he was addressing a crowd of believers during a prayer, one of his assistant priests said to him, "Padre, look at how many people have come to pray with you!" , Padre Pio said back to him, "I see this, but if you could only see the demons that are about, their number double the number of believers, you would be dismayed!"

PICTURES, Incorruptible Corpses of Saints Venerated by Roman Catholics



St Pio of Pietrelcina (died 1968)

Eastern Orthodox Church

To the Eastern Orthodox Church, Incorruptibility continues to be an important element for the process of glorification.  An important distinction is made between natural mummification and what is believed to be supernatural incorruptibility.  There are a great number of eastern Orthodox saints whose bodies have been found to be incorrupt and are in much veneration among the faithful.

wiki/

Roman Catholicism

Although incorruptibility is still recognized as supernatural in Roman Catholicism, it is no longer counted as a miracle in the recognition of a saint.

Incorruptibility is seen as distinct from the good preservation of a body, or mummification. Incorruptible bodies are often said to have the odor of sanctity, exuding a sweet or floral, pleasant aroma.

In Roman Catholicism, if a body remains incorruptible after death, this is generally seen as a sign that the individual is a saint, although not every saint is expected to have an incorruptible corpse.

When the Catholic Church recognized incorruptibles, a body was not deemed incorruptible if it had undergone an embalming.  As such, although the body of Pope John XXIII remained in a remarkably intact state after its exhumation, Church officials quickly pointed out that the Pope's body had been embalmed and that there was a lack of oxygen in his sealed triple coffin.

wiki/

Incorruptibility is a Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox belief that supernatural (or Godly) intervention allows some human bodies (specifically saints) to avoid the normal process of decomposition after death as a sign of their holiness. Bodies that reportedly undergo little or no decomposition, or delayed decomposition, are sometimes referred to as incorrupt or incorruptible.

Spokesman Coloma meanwhile says: Noynoying is annoying.

(Uhm.. yeah.  We all hate noynoying.  Kills productivity.  Super annoying or should we say, annoynoying.)

Noynoy Aquino himself has articulated its definition in his interview: How do you show the truth to people who do not want to see?  How do you make people listen to you if they do not want to listen?

(Exactly, Mr. President.  That’s what people think of noynoying too!  You hit that sweet noynoying spot right there.)

What you need to know about 'Noynoying'

Here are some basics to sharpen your noynoying knowledge.

What is Noynoying?

According to youth group Anakbayan:

Planking is out, noynoying is in.  Just sit or lie on the ground and do nothing.

A Guide to Noynoying has also been released:

1) Get a group, 2) Find busy public space, 3) Abruptly, everyone sits/lies on the floor and acts lazy and stupid.

Noynoying has also been defined as:

..that idle moment when you are supposed to do something but is not doing anything.

http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/

it's a word, it's a verb, it's derived from our president's pet name!

aside from its allusion (and perhaps imagery) noynoying, whether we like it or not, has gone viral and, yikes, global.  so what is noynoying in the strictest sense of the word--- new, neither here nor there, hybrid (taglish, englog, noylish, noylog or whatever)--- in other words?

I HIGHLY recommend, in fact, I ENDORSE that you eat A LOT of green veggies from now on, Father R. Eat a lot of lettuce, a lot of broccoli, a lot of zuccini, a lot of bachoy, etc etc every day na gajud.

you're sure about bachoy, lorenz?  could it be that you meant pechay?  or is there a vegetable called bachoy?  the batchoy i know is an ilonggo dish, the best there is i must say.  its main ingredient of course is noodles, but its charm is in its soup.

in that one batchoy place (near the capitol of cebu) i used to frequent as a young working girl, i learned that they simmer beef, chicken and pork bones continuously in a big vat, 24 hours a day.  meats, entrails, crushed chicharon, raw egg, fried garlic and a variety of condiments top off the noodles cooked in the bowl only by the simmering soup that they ladle from the vat.  whatever veggies there were, these were usually slivers of cabbage, spring onions and mint, which add color and esthetics aside from their hint of flavor.

since all the main ingredients were clipped with kitchen scissors directly to the bowl, our joke then was their batchoy is so good because it includes the chef's fingernails.


heaven is a la paz batchoy

hayahay gyod diay ang kanding kay puro ra man greens ang kaonon.  it would be something like 'take a goat's diet for a healthy heart'.

The kayak to be used in this first Cebu Island circumnavigation would be a solo sea touring kayak, made up of fiberglass laminated wood and plywood. It is of a design made for by Doyet himself. The kayak was fabricated in Panglao Island of Bohol by Bugsai, a local kayak maker.

wow!  even the kayak is made in bohol.  by one of tb's own pa gyod.

Went to see my thyroid doctor today... she's handling too my diabetes and cholesterol. Salamat sa Ginoo nada ra jog magic sa "cider vinegar." Nius-os gamay akong trigle hehehe 

wow!  congrats, fr chic.  you gave me this tip about cider vinegar, and i'm having it.  but tell me, am i doing it right?  i dilute one teaspoon with a glass of water.  i can't take it straight.  i hope the effect is the same.
