Manila: Philippine lawmakers, businessmen and reporters ignored Chinese concerns before raising the Philippines' flag on an eight-island chain in the disputed Spratly Archipelago in the South China Sea, sources said.

Congressman Walden Bello said the delegation flew over the reefs and shoals where China left markers in 1995 between Palawan, in the southwest of the Philippines, and the Kalayaan Island Group (KIG), an eight-island chain.

One source told Gulf News that the fly-by was not provocative.

"The fly-by was meant to show to the congressmen, their visitors and reporters the territories belonging to the Philippines where China built structures [back in] 1995," the source said.

Bello and other lawmakers, including Arlene ‘Kaka' Bag-ao, Teddy Baguilat and Ben Evardone, were accompanied by General Juancho Sabban, head of the Armed Forces Western Command, and Abraham Mitra, Palawan governor.

They met in Puerto Princesa before flying to the island chain at 8am yesterday. They unfurled the national flag at the Kalayaan islands, which are also known as Thitu and are located 450km northeast of Palawan. They then held a meeting with more than 50 local leaders.

"We have a mayor at Kalayaan. There are more than 200 Filipinos living there. [There are also 100 soldiers there]. We have every right as Filipino citizens to visit a [territory claimed by the Philippines]," Bello said.

"There is also a communication tower on the island, courtesy of a Philippine-based telecommunications firm."

The trip, although criticised by China, was "a peace and sovereignty mission," Bello said, adding that his team wanted a personal appraisal of the islands, to collect the right data, and help the government strengthen the islands' defences and economic activities.

General Sabban called for the urgent refurbishment of the old airstrip on Kalayaan which was built in 1975. He said it remains a perfect landing area in times of conflict in the West Philippine Sea, the country's name for the South China Sea. -- http://gulfnews.com/

RAINBOW CONNECTION
Kermit the Frog

Why are there so many
Songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side
Rainbow's are visions
They're only illusions
And rainbows have nothing to hide
So we've been told and some chose to
Believe it
But I know they're wrong wait and see

Someday we'll find it
The Rainbow Connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me

Who said that every wish
Would be heard and answered
When wished on the morning star
Somebody thought of that
And someone believed it
And look what it's done so far
What's so amazing
That keeps us star gazing
What so we think we might see

Someday we'll find it
That Rainbow Connection
The lovers the dreamers and me

Have you been half asleep
And have you heard voices
I've heard them calling my name
Are these the sweet sounds that called
The young sailors
I think they're one and the same
I've heard it too many times to ignore it
There's something that I'm supposed to be

Someday we'll find it
The Rainbow Connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me

Kermit - Rainbow Connection

Here's a big idea: Writing your name in the sand so large that it can be seen from space. Of course, you're much better position to carry off this sort of vanity project if you're Hamad Bin Hamdan Al Ahyan, a super-rich Arab sheikh who is the president of the oil-rich United Arab Emirates. He also happens to own an island--an ideal canvas for what is essentially the world's largest self-referential graffiti tag.

The letters were crafted by a crew who worked for weeks to create them. The inscription measures half a mile high and two miles long--and the letters are dug so deep that they form waterways.

Did we mention his name can be seen from outer space?

Hamad, according to Forbes, is a guy who lives large. A member of the Abu Dhabi ruling family, the man known as the Rainbow Sheikh owns 200 cars that are stored in a giant pyramid. (What, you use a garage?) Forbes also noted that Hamad also hand-built a motor home in the shape of a giant globe "one-millionth the size of the Earth."

It should also be noted that the 63-year-old sheikh also has deep pockets when it comes to philanthropy. But don't worry about thanking him -- it seems he's come up with a perfectly good way to give himself a shout-out. -- http://news.yahoo.com/

A dog whipper was a church official charged with removing unruly dogs from a church or church grounds during services. In some areas of Europe during the 16th to 19th centuries it was not uncommon for household dogs to accompany â€" or at least follow â€" their owners to church services. If these animals became disruptive it was the job of the dog whipper to remove them from the church, allowing the service to continue in peace. Dog whippers were usually provided with a whip (hence the title) or a pair of large wooden tongs with which to remove the animals. They were generally paid for their services, and records of payments to the local dog whipper exist in old parish account books in many English churches. -- http://listverse.com/

Toad doctors were practitioners of a specific tradition of medicinal folk magic, operating in western England until the end of the 19th century. Their main concern was healing scrofula (then called “the King’s Evil,” a skin disease), though they were also believed to cure other ailments including those resulting from witchcraft. They cured the sick by placing a live toad, or the leg of one, in a muslin bag and hanging it around the sick person’s neck. Needless to say this job would also require growing or gathering up a large collection of toads, and in the case of doctors who used just the leg, chopping their legs off to give to their patient. -- http://listverse.com/

Open your fingers so they are wide apart.

 


Open your hand and keep your fingers together.

 


With the entire tooth pick pushed through and behind your hand, briefly hold your thumb over the divide between your middle and ring finger. At this stage, make sure that the toothpick is completely behind your hand and securely held by the finger ring.

 


This view from the back shows how your thumb feeds the toothpick into the finger ring.

Using your thumb, push the bottom end of the toothpick between your middle and ring fingers and into the finger ring.

It helps if you move your hand slowly up and down to help cover this action.

Please view the next picture to see what is happening behind your hand.

In this easy magic trick, you cause a toothpick that you're holding in your hand to vanish in a flash. At the end, you're holding your fingers wide apart.

Materials: A toothpick and a finger ring that's worn on your third (ring) finger.

Secret: The toothpick is secretly held by the finger ring behind your hand where it can't be seen.

Starting Position: Hold the toothpick in your hand as in the picture. Your thumb is holding the middle to upper portion of the toothpick. After reading all of the instructions, you will probably want to experiment with the placement of your thumb so it best suits you. Notice how the ring and little fingers are bent in.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) â€" Italy is wobbling. Spain is facing a fresh crisis. Even France doesn’t look like it is a secure member of the euro zone anymore. The storms swirling around Europe’s beleaguered single currency are growing by the day as the crisis moves in from the periphery into what can only be regarded as core Europe. The markets remain poised on a knife edge, fearful of the consequences of a full scale collapse.

And yet, the one thing that can’t be underestimated is the political will of Europe’s leaders to keep the euro alive. Three generations of politicians have staked their careers on closer European integration. They won’t give up without a fight.

They will make one last-ditch effort to save the project. How? Europe will soon start printing money on a massive scale â€" far larger than even the U.S. Federal Reserve’s exercises in quantitative easing.

Three Israelis died in the quake that killed 181 people. Other Israelis escaped the quake.

The Fairfax newspaper group, which didn't state how it obtained the information, said one of the Israelis who died was carrying at least five passports.

Fairfax said New Zealand Prime Minister John Key took four calls from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu following the quake, and that an unaccredited Israeli search and rescue squad searching a cordoned area in Christchurch was stopped by New Zealand officers.

Key, who is traveling in California, told media Wednesday that it wasn't in the national interest to comment about the report. -- http://news.yahoo.com/

Bohol anti-rabies program Impress int’l experts


TAGBILARAN CITY, Bohol, June 16, (PIA) -- WITH all the advances in research and technology, rabies experts from a wide range of disciplines of various countries agree that Bohol’s rabies program which advances collaboration among communities still works better.

At the recent International Meeting of Rabies Experts held at the Bohol Beach Club, both World Health Organization (WHO) authorities and Global Alliance for Rabies Control (GARC) admit Bohol has shown that an effective formula far from the ones advanced by technology and research.

The international experts discussed anti-rabies initiatives and new developments in research to assess anti-rabies control program across the globe.

The meeting also immersed the experts to the Bohol Rabies Prevention and Elimination Program which led them to aver the possibility of rabies elimination with the replication of the Bohol model.

Heaping praises for Bohol, Doctors Thomas Mueller of the WHO Collaborating Center for Rabies Reference and Research and Dr. Deborah Briggs, Executive Director of the GARC, both leaders of multi-disciplined rabies control centers press that a cost analysis on the disease cure is way too high for poor countries to deliver.

At the Kapihan sa PIA Thuirsday, Dr. Briggs shared that the family of the first human rabies survivor, who was at the meeting had to spend more than a million dollars to get the appropriate treatment and medications.

Dr. Mary Elizabeth Miranda, GARC Asian Coordinator at the radio forum on the air stressed that in Asian countries, the Bohol model for rabies control presents hope for a meaningful and effective approach to controlling the disease.

Rabies, a disease mainly caused by Lyssavirus which when transmitted finds its way to the central nervous system, which makes it almost always fatal, Dr. Briggs said.

According to www.rabies-symptoms.org., symptoms usually develop between 20 and 60 days after exposure.

But, Dr. Miranda, who has been into disease research across Asia said the longest incubation period for rabies that she knows of, is 17 years.

In animals, symptoms manifest as being aggressive, combative, and highly sensitive to touch and other kinds of stimulation as they can be vicious.

Rabies symptoms in humans, are similar. After a symptom-free incubation period, the patient complains of malaise, loss of appetite, fatigue, headache, and fever, the website said.

For dog bites, which are generally the causes of rabies in humans, first aid should be washing the bite would with soap and running water and immediately getting the vaccines, Dr. Stella Marie Lapiz said.

During the next 17 days, the biting dog has to be observed, if it manifests signs of rabies, then the patient has to get the full dose of vaccines, which would mean the owners of the biting dog paying for the vaccines and face sanctions according to the provincial ordinance.

Fighting Rabies: Notes From the Front Line
by Deborah Briggs, Executive Director for the Global Alliance for Rabies Control
Posted: 16/7/11 00:00 GMT


When the leading lights in the global fight against rabies gather on the Filipino island of Bohol this week, enjoying the tropical climate and picture-postcard beaches will be the furthest thing from their minds.

The island, a two-hour flight from Manila, is home to a population of just over a million people and, until recently, a burgeoning number of rabies cases that was killing ten people per year - not to mention a large number of animals, whose plight always seems to be forgotten.

A terrible yet preventable disease, rabies has the highest case fatality rate of any infectious disease known to man: up until very recently, when we have seen a handful of treated victims in the US, quite simply no human or animal has ever survived it. It is also a growing problem in many parts of the world; predominantly in Africa and Asia but also in more developed regions such as the US. In total, around 150 people die from it every single day.

Yet the international conference convened by the Global Alliance for Rabies Control (GARC) in Bohol this week will be less focused on the problem of rabies, and more on ways finding a solution to it. For it was here in 2007 that GARC, with the help of the government of Bohol and a shoestring budget launched a scheme to eliminate human and dog rabies that could just prove to be a template for all other infected areas in the world.

In order to eliminate the disease in its entirety, we decided on an inter-sectoral strategy, that's scientist-speak for involving a combination of a number of disciplines, from education and vaccination to post-exposure prophylaxis and community involvement campaigns. And we sought as wide a buy-in from the community as possible so we brought the scientists, health experts, government, vets together with schools and community leaders. By the end, practically the entire population were involved. The results a reduction in the number of rabies deaths to zero in under three years.

How did we achieve this amazing result? First of all, we piloted an educational programme, incorporating basic animal handling and post-bite procedures into the national curriculum. Then, all dog owners were encouraged to get their animals registered and vaccinated: seeing as 99% of all animal - human rabies infections are performed by dogs - our success in getting 70% of all dogs registered was an important achievement.

We were also able to bring on board the island's government, which launched a responsible pet ownership scheme backed by law, and we trained medical staff at local hospitals in provision of modern post-bite treatments and the latest vaccines.

Perhaps most importantly of all, we won the support of Bohol's local communities. Without the eyes and ears of the town folk and villagers for whom keeping an eye out for suspicious animal behaviour had become part of their everyday routine, we were able to magnify the effectiveness of the other measures we had put in place.

This buy-in from the community meant our pilot project was able to completed with a very modest budget, which we calculated to be around 36p per person over three years. Cheap enough, we believe, to merit larger scale schemes in other rabies-blighted areas.

The mood in Bohol this week will essentially be one of optimism. Even with the amazing medical progress being made in the States, we are still years away from a cure for rabies, and in places like Bohol light years away, so it is all the more important that we are able to demonstrate that effectiveness of prevention. Rabies is often called the neglected disease, but at last it feels as if the international community is beginning to wake up to the scale and growth of the problem, and the opportunity we have to defeat it. Let's not neglect this disease any longer. -- http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/

The rates of completed suicide are, indeed, much higher among men than among women, by about 3-4 times. However, women attempt suicide more often than men, consistent with the much higher rates of (unipolar) major depression in women (about twice as frequent as in men). By the way, rates of bipolar disorder are actually about equal for men and women. Women are also more likely to engage in various degrees of deliberate self-harm (wrist cutting, burning, etc.) than men, according to some studies.

This behavior is not necessarily suicidal, in the sense of reflecting a wish to die. But then-most people who attempt suicide do not really wish to die. Most, in fact, are clinically depressed. Historically, the higher rates of completed suicide among men (unfortunately, sometimes referred to as successful suicide) probably relate to the more lethal means used by men; e.g., guns as opposed to overdosing on pills.

In contexts where both men and women have easy access to lethal drugs and know how to use them, suicide rates are similar for men and women; e.g., rates of completed suicide among female physicians are similar to those of their male colleagues--and, sadly, higher than rates among women in the general population. (Suicide rates are also higher in other professions with easy access to lethal drugs, such as pharmacists and veterinary doctors). The bottom line: the diagnosis and rapid treatment of depression is crucial in bringing down suicide rates for both men and women. -- http://www.healthieryou.com/mhexpert/exp1030501a.html

A man who becomes conscious of the responsibility he bears toward a human being who affectionately waits for him, or to an unfinished work, will never be able to throw away his life. He knows the "why" for his existence, and will be able to bear almost any "how." --Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

Viktor Frankl's 1946 book Man's Search for Meaning chronicles his experiences as a concentration camp inmate and describes his psychotherapeutic method of finding a reason to live. According to Frankl, the book intends to answer the question "How was everyday life in a concentration camp reflected in the mind of the average prisoner?" Part One constitutes Frankl's analysis of his experiences in the concentration camps, while Part Two introduces his ideas of meaning and his theory of logotherapy. It is the second-most widely read Holocaust book in the bookstore of Washington's Holocaust Museum.

According to a survey conducted by the Book-of-the-Month Club and the Library of Congress, Man's Search For Meaning belongs to a list of "the ten most influential books in [the United States]." (New York Times, November 20, 1991). At the time of the author's death in 1997, the book had sold 10 million copies in twenty-four languages. â€"Wiki

Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl is among the most influential works of psychiatric literature since Freud. The book begins with a lengthy, austere, and deeply moving personal essay about Frankl's imprisonment in Auschwitz and other concentration camps for five years, and his struggle during this time to find reasons to live. The second part of the book, called "Logotherapy in a Nutshell," describes the psychotherapeutic method that Frankl pioneered as a result of his experiences in the concentration camps. Freud believed that sexual instincts and urges were the driving force of humanity's life; Frankl, by contrast, believes that man's deepest desire is to search for meaning and purpose. Frankl's logotherapy, therefore, is much more compatible with Western religions than Freudian psychotherapy. This is a fascinating, sophisticated, and very human book. At times, Frankl's personal and professional discourses merge into a style of tremendous power. "Our generation is realistic, for we have come to know man as he really is," Frankl writes. "After all, man is that being who invented the gas chambers of Auschwitz; however, he is also that being who entered those gas chambers upright, with the Lord's Prayer or the Shema Yisrael on his lips."  -- http://www.amazon.com/

Everything can be taken from a man but one thing; the last of the human freedomsâ€"to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way. --Viktor E. Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning

CEBU CITY -- Seventeen more patients were admitted to hospitals in southern Cebu after a suspected typhoid outbreak hit Alegria town Tuesday.

This brought to 87 the total number of individuals affected by the typhoid fever; most of them are residents of Barangays Valencia and Compostela in Alegria, said health officials.

The victims have complained of headache, stomach pains, and joint pains, which, according to experts, are symptoms of typhoid fever.

Other symptoms of the disease are fever as high as 39 to 40 degrees Celsius, malaise or weakness, and loss of appetite. Some patients may have flat, rose-colored spots.

Health officials pointed to a contaminated water source as the cause of the "typhoid outbreak."

"We all know that seven out of 10 Filipinos trust my brother. The people know that my brother does not steal. I've seen all the efforts that he is doing to improve the quality of life of every Filipino," Abellada told Sun.Star Cebu.

Aquino-Abellada was in Cebu to turn over several classrooms in Pinamungahan and Minglanilla towns.

The two-classroom building in Guindarohan Elementary School in Minglanilla was built in partnership with J.L. Regner Construction and Aggregates Inc.

Abellada said that of the 11 months of existence of Aklat, Gabay, Aruga tungo sa Pag-angat at Pag-asa foundation, which she heads, they already built 109 classrooms and will build 150 more toward the end of the year throughout the country.

She said aside from the classrooms, they are providing books to the pupils from kindergarten up to Grade III and trainings to teachers. (EOB/Sun.Star Cebu)
