Facts and Trivia / Fibonacci Sequence
February 06, 2016, 12:15:52 PM
The Fibonacci Sequence is the series of numbers:

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, ...

The next number is found by adding up the two numbers before it.

The 2 is found by adding the two numbers before it (1+1)
Similarly, the 3 is found by adding the two numbers before it (1+2),
And the 5 is (2+3),
and so on!

MAAYONG pagka-igo sa dughan mismo sa biktima human kini gi Indian pana sa wala maila nga mga suspetsado samtang nagbantay sa prutasan niadtong Huwebes mga alas 8:30 sa gabii sa Medina, Misamis Oriental.

Subay pa sa impormasiyon gikan sa Northern Mindanao Medical Center (NMMC), dakbayan sa Cagayan de Oro, gikabutyag nga nasapon sa biktima ang tulo ka mga suspetsado nga buot mangawat sa gibantayan niining prutasan.

Giingong ang usa niini ang nasapon gayud nga anaa sa taas sa punoan samtang ang duha ang anaa sa ubos nga bahin apan wala kini magdahom nga kalit kining panaon.

Diha mismo sa dughan naigo sa pana ang biktima hinungdan nga anaa kini sa kritikal nga kahimtang samtang ang mga suspetsado ang pabiling gawasnon.


Sa pagsulat niini nga balita ang biktima ang pabilin pa nga nagpaalim sa NMMC. (KCS)

Dancing to the throbbing beat of sacred drums, the congregation circles a man lying face-down on the floor paying thanks to Babalu Aye, a deity in Cuba's Santeria religion. The African-rooted faith has existed in awkward overlap with Catholicism in Cuba since it was a Spanish colony. But on Sept. 19, 2015, followers cast aside their differences with their strictly Catholic neighbors to welcome Pope Francis to the island with open arms.

Around 70 percent of Cuba's 11 million people practice syncretism, the blending of traditional Christianity with African religions that arrived on the island with the slaves imported during colonial times. Only about 10 percent describe themselves as Catholic, once the dominant faith.

The Santeria tradition has survived both the hostility of the Catholic clergy and the state atheism the communist government decreed for more than three decades after the Cuban Revolution. Santeria's practitioners have traditionally been Cubans of African descent, but more and more whites are joining.

Novices must follow a strict one-year initiation ritual. They must wear white from head to toe and observe a series of restrictions that include refraining from touching anyone under any circumstances, including sexual relations. Worshippers keep altars at home devoted to their favorite divinities, and unlike Christians ask them for immediate intervention in their lives. When faced with difficulties, they consult their initiation godfathers or godmothers, who prescribe rituals to perform. Often they involve sacrificing a chicken, a dove or a young goat.Each ritual is different, whether it is to win back a lost lover, find a job, regain good health or harm an enemy.

Such rites can now be practiced in the open -- a sea change from the years after Fidel Castro came to power in 1959, when he declared the island an atheist state and unleashed a crack-down on both Catholics and "Santeros." But in 1992, Cuba abolished official atheism and amended its constitution to embrace the freedom of religion. (AFP)

Our moon is the debris formed in a violent, head-on collision between our Earth and a ‘planetary embryo’ called Theia, scientists say.

The massive crash took place 4.5 billion years go - just 100 million years after the Earth formed.

Scientists already knew about the crash, but it had previously been believed that Earth collided with Theia at an angle.

But new analysis of rocks brought back to Earth by the Apollo missions - and volcanic rocks from Earth’s mantle, found in Hawaii, shows the collision was much more violent.

The key to reconstructing the giant impact was a chemical signature revealed in the rocks’ oxygen atoms.

The oxygen isotopes found in rocks from different planets in the solar system is different, the researchers say - with each having a distinctive fingerprint.

‘We don’t see any difference between the Earth’s and the Moon’s oxygen isotopes; they’re indistinguishable,’ said Edward Young, lead author of the new study and a UCLA professor of geochemistry and cosmochemistry.

Young’s research team used state-of-the-art technology and techniques to make extraordinarily precise and careful measurements, and verified them with UCLA’s new mass spectrometer.

The fact that oxygen in rocks on the Earth and our Moon share chemical signatures was very telling, Young said.

‘Theia was thoroughly mixed into both the Earth and the Moon, and evenly dispersed between them,” Young said.

‘This explains why we don’t see a different signature of Theia in the Moon versus the Earth.’

Theia, which did not survive the collision (except that it now makes up large parts of Earth and the Moon) was growing and probably would have become a planet if the crash had not occurred, Young said. --  http://news.yahoo.com/

The woman, who goes by the name Nano, claims that she is a cat that has been born in to the wrong body.
The Norwegian, who discovered her peculiar trait at the age of 16, has since adopted numerous feline mannerisms and claims that she has become terrified of water.

"I realized I was a cat when I was 16 when doctors and psychologists found out what was 'the thing' with me," she said. "Under my birth there was a genetic defect."

Nano maintains that her feline status has granted her superior senses enabling her to see in the dark and to pick up faint sounds that other people are unable to hear.

She also wears a pair of cat ears on her head and an artificial tale fastened around her waist.

"Sometime I hiss when meeting dogs in the street," she said. "It's because of their behavior and my instinct automatically reacts by hissing. It's also obvious that I'm a cat when I start purring and meowing.. and walking around on four legs and stuff like that."

"My psychologist told me I can grow out of it, but I doubt it. I think I will be cat all my life." --  http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/

Kotoshogiku has an opportunity to help sumo put the negative headlines behind the sport now.

"I am filled with happiness beyond words," he said after accepting he Emperor's Cup, "I was given lots of support even when I was having a tough time and not getting results, and I'm happy I'm standing here today."
The JSA is reportedly planning to promote him to "yokozuna", the highest rank in sumo, as recognition for his achievement.

In 2011, the association conducted an internal probe that implicated 14 wrestlers and elders of the sport in rigged bouts, taking the unprecedented step of cancelling the tournament in Osaka.

But arguably the single most damaging incident was the death of a 17-year-old wrestler in June 2007.

Takashi Saito was admitted to a hospital in Nagoya with severe bruising that his fellow wrestlers and stable master, Junichi Futatsuryu, claimed was the result of a training accident. Wrestling as Tokitaizan, the boy died and an autopsy subsequently showed that his injuries were not consistent with an accident.

Futatsuryu and three wrestlers were arrested after police learned that Mr Saito had tried to run away from the stable because he found the systematic hazing and physical demands of the training too tough. Caught by his fellow "rikishi," he was taken before Futatsuryu and beaten around the head with a beer bottle. The stable master then ordered the other wrestlers to continue the assault, using a metal baseball bat on Mr Saito.

That element of a sport that has expressed a desire to be represented at the Olympic Games has been further tarnished by a series of scandals.

In June 2010, the sport took a blow when wrestler Kotomitsuki admitted illegally gambling on baseball matches. A magazine claimed that the wrestler was deep in debt and was being blackmailed by members of an underworld group to pay them Y100 million (£589,000) to keep silent.

Kotomitsuki's admission came just days after the head of the Kise stable of wrestlers admitted giving tickets for bouts to senior members of a "yakuza" organized crime group. The JSA responded by disbanding the stable and demoting Kise.

"And that's another reason why it is good to see a Japanese wrestler using his intellect and skill to win a tournament," said Mr Watanabe, who added that he was attending a party when the news of Kotoshogiku's victory broke, triggering a round of spontaneous applause.

Despite being Japan's national sport, sumo has struggled to attract young Japanese wrestlers, in part because of the harsh training regime. In 2012, there was horror in the sumo world after only one teenager applied to join a stable ahead of the winter tournament.

That element of a sport that has expressed a desire to be represented at the Olympic Games has been further tarnished by a series of scandals.

"One of the problems for Japanese wrestlers has been the influx of foreign 'rikishi' who are perhaps more motivated to do well and be successful," he said.

"There are young hopefuls coming from other parts of Asia, Russia, even Europe now and as well as being determined to do well, they are usually physically stronger, taller and tougher than most Japanese," he said.

By Julian Ryall, Tokyo6:52AM GMT 25 Jan 2016


Aficionados of Japan's national sport have breathed a collective sigh of relief after Ozeki Kotoshogiku triumphed in his final bout of the New Year Grand Sumo Tournament on Sunday, becoming the first Japan-born wrestler to win a "basho" for a decade.

With a record of 14 victories in the 15-bout tournament, the 397-lb wrestler was the first Japanese since January 2006 to lift the Emperor's Cup, and there are hopes that he might reignite interest in a sport that has declined in popularity in recent years.

"There are a lot of fans who still want to see a Japanese wrestler win so I think this victory could bring audiences back and encourage interest in sumo," Makoto Watanabe, a lecturer in communications and media at Hokkaido Bunkyo University, told The Telegraph.

DUHA ka mga anggulo ang gitan-aw sa kapulisan sa Calinan labot sa kamatayon sa magtiayon kinsa napalgang dunay mga samad dinunggaban ug pinusilan alas 9:30 sa gabii niadtong Martes sa Purok 6, Barangay Dacudao, Calinan District, dakbayan sa Davao.

Si Police Chief Inspector Randy Sambalud, hepe sa Calinan Police Station, nag-ila sa mga biktima nga sila Ritzel dela Cruz Orbeta, 40, ug kapuyo nga si Vilma de Aros Dedios, 48, caretaker sa farm sa retiradong sundalo sa Purok 6.

Sa inisyal nga imbestigasyon ni Police Officer 2 (PO2) Joel T. Guanzon, imbestigador sa Homicide and Arson Section sa presinto diyes, nasayran nga nakadungog ang anak nga si Raymark Ellena Orbeta, 20, sa singgit nga nangayo og panabang ang iyang amahan.

Giingon nga sa wala pa nangayo'g panabang ang biktima, nadungog ni Raymart nga dunay kaistorya ang iyang amahan ug inahan gawas sa ilang balay.

Niadtong tungora, daling migawas ang anak apan gigunitan kini sa usa sa tulo ka mga wa pa mailhing tawo nga naka-bonnet nga may dalang mga hait nga hinagiban dayon gigapos.

Si Davao City Police Office spokesperson Chief Inspector Milgrace Driz nagbutyag sa SuperBalita nga patay nang napalgan ang magtiayon sa tangkal sa baboy.

"Duha atong gitan-aw nga anggulo. Una, kining bulawan daw kay nakakalot ang mag-asawa og bato nga dunay bulawan. Ikaduha, katong personal nga bangi labot sa motor," ingon ni Sambalud nga nahinabi sa Superbalita.

Kagahapon sa buntag, gi-turn over ni Raymart ang dakong bato nga nagsilak-silak nga daw marmol sa presinto. (JPC)

Weird and Extreme / Re: Extremely unusual doctrine
January 27, 2016, 06:31:25 PM
According to Iglesia ni Cristo, all of the above rules and regulations are mandatory in order for a person to be saved. The Bible, of course, teaches that salvation is “the gift of God, not of works, lest any man boast” (Ephesians 2:9).

As is abundantly clear, the Iglesia ni Cristo is a cult. They deny essential historic Christian doctrineâ€"namely, the Trinity and the divinity of Jesus Christ. They hold an almost unbreakable grip on their members, and they impose a man-made path to salvation through service and works. Our Lord predicted that in the last days there would come many who claim to be Christ and lead people astray (Matthew 24:5). Thankfully, He also said that the true believers would not be turned away (John 6:37).

As Christians, we must be wary of the teachings of false messiahs and cultic offshoots of Christianity, such as the Iglesia ni Cristo. We must be well grounded in the word of God so that we can spot these purveyors of falsehood. We must also realize that the people who are trapped in these cults need the salvation that can be found in Jesus Christâ€"the only Son of Godâ€"just as much as we did when we were lost in our sin.

#4380
Weird and Extreme / Re: Extremely unusual doctrine
January 27, 2016, 06:31:05 PM
Another example of the cultic nature of Iglesia ni Cristo is its claim to be the sole source of truth and salvation. This may seem odd since Christianity, as a whole, makes these claims of exclusivity, too. The difference is that, while Christianity does make exclusive claims, individual churches/denominations do not (or at least should not) claim to be the sole source of that exclusivity. True churches recognize that there are other Christian churches outside of their own denomination that are rightfully Christian and that we can all believe different things on secondary doctrines, yet still all be saved. Jesus Christ Himself said that salvation is found in Him, that He is the only way to the Father (John 14:6), not membership in a specific church.

Here are some of the other unbiblical or extra-biblical doctrines that Iglesia ni Cristo teaches:

• They believe that one must hear the gospel from authorized Iglesia ni Cristo messengers and ministers.
• They believe the official name of the church is “Iglesia ni Cristo.” Other names are not the true name of the church and, therefore, false churches.
• They believe a person must be a member of an Iglesia ni Cristo church and be water baptized to be saved.
• They believe people must avoid eating dinuguan, which is pork blood stew, a Filipino delicacy.
• Their members must avoid joining trade unions.
• Their members must avoid court sessions.
• They must vote in blocs.
• They are under compulsory church attendance.
• They must give tithes to the church.
#4381
Weird and Extreme / Re: Extremely unusual doctrine
January 27, 2016, 06:30:38 PM
The Iglesia ni Cristo claims to be the one, true Church of Christ because they are called “the Church of Christ” and they can point to some verses in the Bible which use the phrase “church of Christ.” Most notably, they point to Romans 16:16, which says, “Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ greet you.” However, in this verse, the “churches of Christ” isn’t referring to the name of a particular church, but to all the churches that Paul visited that followed Jesus Christ. They also read from a mistranslation of Acts 20:28 that reads “church of Christ,” but the actual Greek reads “church of God.” Whether or not a church is named the “Church of Christ” is irrelevant. There are many churches that have “Church of Christ” in their name; that doesn’t make them the one true church.

Another example of defective doctrine in the Iglesia ni Cristo is their Christology. They deny the divinity of Jesus Christ (as do all cults and false religions) and assert that Jesus was created by God and enabled to do miraculous works by God. They deny the doctrine of the Trinity. They claim that the Holy Spirit is an impersonal force. They also claim that the Christian church in its current form has apostatized, and that the Iglesia ni Cristo is the reinstatement of the true church that was lost in the first century; and this by means of God’s last messenger, Felix Manaloâ€"the founder of Iglesia ni Cristo.

Question: "What is Iglesia ni Cristo?"

Answer: Iglesia ni Cristo was founded by Felix Manalo in 1914 in the Philippines. The phrase “Iglesia ni Cristo” is Tagalog (the language of the Philippines) for “Church of Christ.” Sadly, while claiming to be a church, Iglesia ni Cristo has all of the basic elements of a cult. The first and foremost is a single charismatic leader who claims to have a special revelation from God. Felix Manalo was a former Catholic who abandoned Catholicism in his teens. He experimented with several Protestant denominations and the Jehovah’s Witnesses. Manalo finally started his own church, the Iglesia ni Cristo, in 1914. When a schism in the church appeared in 1922, he began claiming to be God’s prophet in an effort to accumulate power and re-assert his leadership over the church.

Some of his claims are that the Iglesia ni Cristo was prophesied in the Bible. The specific prophecy quoted is Isaiah 43:5â€"6, “Fear not, for I am with you; I will bring your offspring from the east, and from the west I will gather you. I will say to the north, Give up, and to the south, do not withhold; bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the end of the earth.” Iglesia ni Cristo interprets the word east as “Far East” (based on a faulty translation) and claims that it points to the Iglesia ni Cristo being created in the Philippines.

Malacañang earlier underscored the visit of Japan’s emperor and empress, saying the visit marks the 60th anniversary of the normalization of diplomatic relations between the Philippines and Japan, following the end of the Second World War.

For his part, businessman Carlos Chan, chairman of the Liwayway Group of Companies and patron of the choir, said the performance before the Japanese royal couple would showcase Filipino artistry and talent.

Composed mainly of Grade 6 to 9 students of both private and public schools in Loboc, the choir has made a name in international choral competitions and has performed for various dignitaries, including Spain’s Queen Sofia in 2002.

The choir was founded in 1980 and is composed of students aged between of 11 to 16. Members leave the choir on their 16th birthday.

The choir bagged the grand prize at the 6th International Folk Songs Festival in Spain in 2003. It won second place in the youth choir category at the 12th China International Chorus Festival held in Beijing in 2014.

The Loboc Children’s Choir also attracted attention when they sang at the ruins of the Loboc Church following the killer quake that hit the province of Bohol in October 2013.

Last year, the choir toured Australia and New Zealand to raise funds for the rehabilitation of the earthquake-ravaged churches of Bohol.

MANILA, Philippines - Visiting Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko of Japan will be serenaded by the world-famous Loboc Children’s Choir during the state dinner in their honor to be held at Malacañang tonight.

At a press conference at the Jin Jiang Inn in Makati yesterday, the 22 choir members expressed their excitement over their performance before the royal couple.

Marjorie Mandin, 14, a veteran choir member and a Grade 9 student at the Holy Trinity Academy in Loay, Bohol, said they will do their best to bring honor to the country.

Marjorie will be joining seven boys and 14 other girls in serenading the Japanese royal couple with a repertoire of Filipino, kundiman, jazz and Broadway songs such as “Light of a Million Mornings,” “Colors of the Wind,” “Nella Fantazia” and “Larong Pinoy.”

In addition, the choir will also sing “Hotaro Koi” (Ho Firefly) which, according to choir musical director Alma Fernando-Taldo, is a popular children’s song in Japan.

“The previous choir batch have sung this song in 1995. We even visited a Japanese executive in Cebu City and asked him to teach us how to properly sing it with the correct pronunciation,” she said.

According to Taldo, the songs that will be sung by the choir during the state dinner were selected by Malacañang.

Meet Sabrina Gonzalez Pasterski, a Cuban-American from Chicago and 22-year-old physics genius.

At the tender age of 14, when most of us are preoccupied with trivial matters like acne or passing freshman math, Sabrina Gonzalez Pasterski walked into Massachusetts Institute of Technology for the approval to build a single-engine plane. She was initially waitlisted, until MIT Professors Allen Haggerty and Earll Murman took a good look at the flying vehicle she was creating.

At 22, this Cuban-American woman from Chicago is an MIT graduate, a PhD candidate at Harvard University, and, perhaps, the next Albert Einstein.

In 2015 alone, she was cited by Forbes as one of the “30 under 30 in Science” and granted academic freedom at Harvard, the same institution of higher learning positioning Gonzalez Pasterski as the next big thing in science.

Her genius in physics led to job offers from Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos, aerospace developer and manufacturer Blue Origin and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), reports IBT.

Don’t bother trying to find the whiz kid on Instagram or Twitter, she’s got little time for social media antics while studying  black holes and spacetime. But find out about Gonzalez Pasterski’s many interests, as well as her lengthy list of achievements, on her personal site PhysicsGirl.

Negosyo kilid sa IEC Pavilion
Ni Decemay P. Padilla (Banat) | Updated January 26, 2016 - 12:00am


CEBU, Philippines â€" Dili lang bahin sa relihiyon ug mga pagtulon-an sa eukarestiya ang makita sa nagpadayong 51st International Eucharistic Congress (IEC) kondili hasta usab ang gagmay nga mga negosyante nakapahimulos usab niini.

Nasayran nga dul-an sa 20 ka mga stalls nga namaligya og mga pagkaon ug souvenir items ang gipahiluna sa gawas nga bahin sa IEC Pavilion diha sa Pope John Paul II Avenue.

Mga pagkaon ug mga pang-snacks ug mga mainom ang gipamaligya diha sa maong mga stalls sukad pa niadtong miaging adlaw.

Nasayran sa Banat News nga nagbayad sila og P20,500 matag usa ka stall alang sa usa ka semana nga pag-display. `Nasayran nga adunay mga volunteers sa IEC ug pipila ka mga delegado ang mas mopili sa pagkaon sa gawas ilabi na niadtong dili makapaabot og paniudto nga giandam sa mga organizers.

Ang uban sa mga delegado sama sa mga katekista dinhi sa Sugbo nga walay apil sa ilang gibayran ang packed meals mapugos gyud sa pagkaon sa gawas sa pavilion samtang ang uban nagbawon. â€" /EIM) (BANAT NEWS)

Addicted


Have I told you how good
It feels to be me
When I'm in you?
I can only stay clean
When you are around
Don't let me fall, oh no

If I close my eyes forever
Would it ease the pain?
Could I breathe again?

Maybe I'm addicted
I'm out of control
But you're the drug
That keeps me from dyin'
Maybe I'm a liar
But all I really know is
You're the only reason I'm tryin'

I am wasted away
I made a million mistakes
Am I too late? Oh yea
There is a storm in my head
It rains on my bed
When you are not here, oh

I'm not afraid of dying
But I am afraid of
Losin' you

Maybe I'm addicted
I'm out of control
But you're the drug
That keeps me from dyin'
Maybe I'm a liar
But all I really know is
You're the only reason I'm tryin'

When you're lyin' next to me
Love is goin' through to me
Oh it's beautiful
Oh yea
Everythin' is clear to me
'Till I hit reality
And I lose it all
I lose it all
I lose it all
(I lose it all)

naa na na na na na
naa na na na na na
You're the only reason
Yeah, you're the only reason I'm tryin'
(May be I'm addicted)
Oh, I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'
(May be I'm addicted)
Don't want to lose it all
Maybe I'm a liar
But all I really know
Is you're the only reason I'm tryin'
Yeah, you know I'm addicted
Yeah, you know I'm addicted
Yeah, you know I'm addicted
