Bernd Heinrich Wilhelm von Kleist (18 October 1777 â€" 21 November 1811) was a poet, dramatist, novelist and short story writer. The Kleist Prize, a prestigious prize for German literature, is named after him.

Kleist was born into the von Kleist family in Frankfurt an der Oder in the Margraviate of Brandenburg. After a scanty education, he entered the Prussian Army in 1792, served in the Rhine campaign of 1796, and retired from the service in 1799 with the rank of lieutenant. He studied law and philosophy at the Viadrina University and in 1800 received a subordinate post in the Ministry of Finance at Berlin.

In the following year, Kleist's roving, restless spirit got the better of him, and procuring a lengthened leave of absence he visited Paris and then settled in Switzerland. Here he found congenial friends in Heinrich Zschokke and Ludwig Friedrich August Wieland (d. 1819), son of the poet Christoph Martin Wieland; and to them he read his first drama, a gloomy tragedy, The Schroffenstein Family (1803, originally entitled The Ghonorez Family).

In the autumn of 1802, Kleist returned to Germany; he visited Goethe, Schiller, and Wieland in Weimar, stayed for a while in Leipzig and Dresden, again proceeded to Paris, and returning in 1804 to his post in Berlin was transferred to the Domänenkammer (department for the administration of crown lands) at Königsberg. On a journey to Dresden in 1807, Kleist was arrested by the French as a spy; he remained a close prisoner of the France at Châlons-sur-Marne. On regaining his liberty, he proceeded to Dresden, where, in conjunction with Adam Heinrich Müller (1779â€"1829), he published the journal Phöbus in 1808.

In 1809 Kleist went to Prague, and ultimately settled in Berlin, where he edited (1810/1811) the Berliner Abendblätter. Captivated by the intellectual and musical accomplishments of the terminally ill Henriette Vogel, Kleist, who was himself more disheartened and embittered than ever, agreed to do her bidding and die with her, carrying out this resolution by first shooting Vogel and then himself on the shore of the Kleiner Wannsee (Little Wannsee) near Potsdam, on 21 November 1811. --Wiki

Elvira Madigan + The Shortwave Set

Elvira Madigan (4 December 1867 â€" 20 July 1889) was a Danish tightrope walker and trick rider, whose illicit affair and dramatic death at the hands of her lover were the subject of the Swedish film of 1967.

She was born Hedvig Antoinette Isabella Eleonore Jensen in Flensburg in northern Germany. Her mother was a Norwegian circus performer and her father a Danish stablemaster. Her mother later lived with the American circus manager John Madigan.

While performing in Sweden with her stepfather's circus, she met a Swedish cavalry officer, Lieutenant Count Bengt Edvard Sixten Sparre (27 September 1854 â€" 20 July 1889). Sparre and Madigan fell in love, but their love was impossible, partly due to the fact that Sparre was married and the father of two children. After exchanging love letters for a year, they ran away together to Denmark in June 1889, where they spent about a month. When they ran out of money, they packed a picnic basket, went out to the Nørreskov ("North forest") on the island TÃ¥singe, Denmark, and had a last meal, after which Sparre shot Madigan and himself with his service revolver. Madigan was 21 years old and Sparre 35 years old. --Wiki

A new paper published in Perspectives on Psychological Science finds that people who are unusually happy all the time can end up with broken relationships and destroyed careers, just like the rest of us dysfunctional grumpy folk.

Researchers told the Boston Globe that extremely happy people are only aware of their own bliss and are completely unaware of how their loved ones may be feeling. They also tend to engage in risky behavior.

And the pursuit of happiness can actually make people sadder. Teaching people to value their own happiness as a goal leads them to report lower satisfaction and feelings of social isolation, researchers found. -- http://news.yahoo.com/

Diabetes

Type 2 diabetes, a deadly disease that can cause blindness and nerve damage, and can lead to amputations of digits and limbs, is perhaps the most direct and serious repercussion of excess sugar in the diet. In the United States, nearly 24 million people have been diagnosed with diabetes and another 57 million suffer from insulin resistance or prediabetes. Some experts estimate that by 2050 one in three Americans will have the disease.
In the early stages of type 2 diabetes, cells stop responding to insulin. Unable to enter the cells, glucose builds up in the blood, triggering inflammatory health conditions. Left untreated, insulin resistance often escalates into type 2 diabetes. But long before that diagnosis, the inflammation associated with prediabetes (sometimes called metabolic syndrome) wreaks havoc on the body, setting the stage for heart disease and cancer, among other serious problems.

Candida

Yeast is a natural inhabitant of the gut. Healthy bacteria help keep yeast levels in check. But when antibiotics, illness or chronic stress kill off healthy bacteria, yeast can run amok. Sugar compounds the problem by feeding yeast growth. “Sugar enables yeast to go from a budding stage to a tissue invasion stage,” says Carolyn Dean, MD. Yeast overgrowth can cause problems ranging from yeast and fungal infections to rashes, thrush and leaky gut syndrome.

Immune System Snafus

Because a diet laden with sugar creates body-wide biochemical stress and inflammation, it can overstress and thereby weaken the immune system in a variety of ways. One way, as noted before, is by triggering leaky gut syndrome, which leads to undigested food molecules getting into the bloodstream. When that happens, the immune system has to finish the digestive process, an overwhelming and distracting effort. “In short, our defense forces get exhausted by the sugar,” says Teitelbaum, “so that when real trouble comes down the pike, the immune system can’t respond.” A leaky gut can also underlie disorders characterized by an overactive immune system, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and psoriasis.

As kids, we were taught that too much sugar would rot our teeth, but today we know that the ramifications of a lifelong sugar splurge are scarier than a finger-wagging dentist. Yes, sugar can cause cavities, but of much greater concern is the sweet stuff’s link to bodywide inflammation.

Sugar can contribute to cellular inflammation, which is like a continuing series of paper cuts that compromise cell function. Deep inside the body, these microscopic wounds fester below the pain threshold. Because many of us don’t see or feel the damage, there is little incentive to cut back on the inflammatory diet that is causing this constant cellular damage, so the party continues.

That is, until the body blows a gasket. Left unchecked, inflammation can unleash dozens of different diseases.

Here are just a few of the malfunctions related to a lifetime of sweet indulgence.

Heart Disease

Results of a 2010 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association showed that people who got at least 25 percent of their daily calories from added sugars were 3.1 times more likely to have low levels of HDL (good) cholesterol than people who got less than 5 percent of their calories from sweets. People on the high end of the sugar spectrum were also more likely to have dangerously high levels of blood fats called triglycerides.

Cancer

Scientists have long known that cancer cells love glucose. A common scan used to detect cancer in the body, called a PET, starts with a person downing a sugary solution. After the sugar is absorbed into the bloodstream, the scan identifies possible malignancies by highlighting areas that gobble up the most sugar. “Data supports the general hypothesis that cancer cells are addicted to glucose and that, by restricting glucose metabolism, one can stop their growth,” says Don Ayer, PhD, a cancer researcher at the University of Utah and the Huntsman Cancer Institute in Salt Lake City.

Brown: A Brown person has stamina and patience, tending to be very solid and substantial, conscientious, dependable, steady and conservative. Browns are not impulsive, and may be inarticulate and tactless but they love responsibility and are reliable and kindly. If you chose Brown, watch out for a tendency to be obstinate and inflexible.

Gray: The color of caution and compromise, diligent Grays search for composure and peace and often work hard without reward. Older Grays like life to run on an even keel with few ups and downs. Young Grays may be withdrawing from life and suppressing their personalities. Grays often have good business ability and tend to work too much.

Black: Dignified and impressive without being showy, Black people want to give the appearance of mystery, but their preference may also indicate a suppression of desires and worldly aims, suggesting hidden depths and inner longings.


Adapted from The Healing Power of Color by Betty Wood (Inner Traditions, 1998).

Blue: Soft, soothing, compassionate and caring, Blue is the color of deliberation and introspection, conservatism and duty. Patient, persevering, conscientious, sensitive and self-controlled, Blues like to be admired for their steady character and wisdom. They are faithful, but are often worriers with somewhat inflexible beliefs and can be too cautious, and suspicious of flamboyant behavior.

Blue-Green: Exacting, discriminating, poised and attractive, the Blue-Green person tends to be sensitive, intellectual and refined, persevering and stable if rather detached. Blue-Greens have excellent taste, and are usually courteous and charming, capable but often refusing help or guidance.

Turquoise: Complex, imaginative and original, Turquoise people drive themselves hard and may be in a state of turmoil under their outwardly cool exterior.

Lavender: This is often chosen by a person who lives “on a higher plane,” who never notices anything sordid and who is always impeccably and beautifully dressed. Lavender people may be on a continual quest for culture and the refined things of life, high and noble causes but without the necessity of getting their hands dirty. A Lavender person is usually creative, charming, witty and civilized.

Purple: Purples are highly individual, fastidious, witty and sensitive, with a strong desire to be unique and different. Temperamental, expansive and artistic, a Purple person may become aloof and sarcastic when misunderstood. If you chose Purple, you tend to be unconventional, tolerant and dignified, likely to achieve positions of authority.

Pink: This color embodies the gentler qualities of Red, symbolizing love and affection without passion. Women who prefer Pink tend to be maternal. Pink desires protection, special treatment and a sheltered life. Pink people require affection and like to feel loved and secure, perhaps wanting to appear delicate and fragile. Pink people tend to be charming and gentle, if a trifle indefinite.

Orange: This color of luxury and pleasure appeals to the flamboyant and fun-loving person who likes a lively social round. Orange people may be inclined to dramatize a bit, and people notice them, but they are generally good-natured and popular. They can be a little fickle and vacillating, but on the whole they try hard to be agreeable. Orange is the color of youth, strength, fearlessness, curiosity and restlessness.

Yellow: The color of happiness, wisdom and imagination, Yellow is chosen by the mentally adventurous, searching for novelty and self-fulfillment. Yellow usually goes with a sunny and shrewd personality, with a good business head and a strong sense of humor. It is the color of intellectuality and all things to do with the mind. Yellow folks are usually clear and precise thinkers who have a good opinion of their own mental capacities and who have lofty ideals. They may at times tend to shun responsibility, preferring freedom of thought and action.

Green: The color of harmony and balance, Green symbolizes hope, renewal and peace, and is usually liked by the gentle and sincere. Greens are generally frank, community-minded people, fairly sociable but preferring peace at any price. Green people can be too self-effacing, modest and patient, so they may get exploited by others. They are usually refined, civilized and reputable.

Your Favorite Color: What it Says About You

Whether we’re a vibrant Orange, or a peaceful Blue, our color preferences are a key to understanding our personalities. Find out what this color expert has to say about your favorite color. What does it reveal about who you really are?

White: Symbolic of purity, innocence and naivete, white has strong connotations of youth and purity. If you are an older person, your preference for white could indicate a desire for perfection and impossible ideals, maybe an attempt to recapture lost youth and freshness. It may also symbolize a desire for simplicity or the simple life.

Red: The color of strength, health, and vitality, Red is often the color chosen by someone outgoing, aggressive, vigorous and impulsiveâ€"or someone who would like to be! It goes with an ambitious nature but those who choose it can be abrupt at times, determined to get all they can out of life, quick to judge people and take sides. Red people are usually optimistic and can’t stand monotony; they are rather restless and not at all introspective, so they may be unaware of their own shortcomings. They find it hard to be objective and may blame others for any mishaps. Quiet people with a preference for red may feel the need for the warmth, strength and life-giving qualities of the color, or they blanket their true feelings under a sober exterior. Red is usually chosen by people with open and uncomplicated natures, with a zest for life.

Maroon: Harsh experience has probably matured the Maroon person into someone likable and generous. It is often a favorite color of someone who has been battered by life but has come through. It indicates a well-disciplined Red personalityâ€"one who has had difficult experiences and has not come through unmarked but who has grown and matured in the process.

Doomsday prophet, followers ‘flabbergasted’ world didn’t end
By Liz Goodwin â€" Mon May 23, 11:25 am ET





It's hard to feel bad for someone whose doomsday predictions caused so much anxiety, but 89-year-old Harold Camping's recent admission that he's "flabbergasted" the world didn't end last weekend sounds somewhat pitiful.

"It has been a really tough weekend," Camping said Sunday, after emerging from his Alameda, California home for the first time to talk to a reporter from the San Francisco Chronicle. "I'm looking for answers ... But now I have nothing else to say," he said, adding that he would make a full statement today.

Camping's PR aide, Tom Evans, told the L.A. Times that the group is "disappointed" that 200 million true believers weren't lifted up to heaven on Saturday while everyone else suffered and eventually died as a series of earthquakes and famine destroyed the Earth. "You can imagine we're pretty disappointed, but the word of God is still true," Evans said. "We obviously went too far, and that's something we need to learn from." The group posted 2,000 billboards around the country warning of the rapture, while Camping--an uncertified fundamentalist minister--spread the word on his radio show.

Camping's Family Radio, which airs on 66 U.S. stations, has apparently rebranded itself quickly. Business Insider notes that the station's website has scrubbed all mentions of the Judgment Day. The site previously featured a countdown clock to the May 21 rapture on its homepage.

But the false prediction might not be so easily effaced from the lives of Camping's followers. The L.A. Times writes that Keith Bauer, a 38-year-old tractor trailer driver, took a road trip with his family to see the Grand Canyon before the world ended.

"With maxed-out credit cards and a growing mountain of bills, he said, the rapture would have been a relief," the paper writes.

But Bauer is not angry at Camping for his false prediction. "Worst-case scenario for me, I got to see the country," he told the paper. "If I should be angry at anybody, it should be me."

Robert Fitzpatrick, who spent $140,000 of his life savings to advertise the rapture in New York, said he was dumbfounded when life went on as usual Saturday.

"I do not understand why ...," he told Reuters while awaiting the event in Times Square. "I do not understand why nothing has happened."

An NPR reporter talked to two Camping followers on Sunday. "One man, his voice quavering, said he was still holding out hope that they were one day off. Another believer asserted that their prayers worked: God delayed judgment so that more people could be saved, but the end is 'imminent,'" she reported.

Evans, Camping's PR aide, told NPR he hopes Family Radio will reimburse followers who spent their savings in anticipation of the rapture, but that he can't guarantee it.

Protesters gathered outside Camping's radio headquarters to mock the false prophecy over the weekend. Some of them set aloft a toy cow with balloons to lampoon the idea that a select elite would ascend to heaven. Meanwhile, other religious groups tried to recruit disappointed Camping followers. -- http://news.yahoo.com/

National Guard Assist

Joplin Mayor Mike Woolston declared a local disaster, according to the city’s website, while Missouri Governor Jay Nixon declared a state of emergency and sent National Guard troops to help.

The outbreak comes about a month after at least 305 tornadoes tore through the U.S. South, killing 327 people, mostly in Alabama, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said. The damage from the storms April 25 to April 27 was estimated to be as much as $5 billion, according to catastrophic risk modeler Eqecat Inc. in Oakland, California.

This year’s stormy season may be caused by a waning La Nina, a cooling in the Pacific Ocean, that is focusing the track for severe storms at just the right distance from warm moist air coming north from the Gulf of Mexico.

Sea surface temperatures in the Gulf are now 3 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than the pre-1970 average, said Kevin Trenberth, distinguished senior scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado.
Ocean Warming

“Two degrees of that can be attributed to natural variability while one degree Fahrenheit is associated with climate change,” said Trenberth in an interview today. “Some part of it is global warming-climate change and some part is natural variability.”

Hayes, Schneider and Thomas Schwein, deputy director of the weather service’s central region, who was also on the conference call, weren’t ready to attribute the outbreaks to climate change.

“This is certainly a rich topic for research,” Schneider said.

Schneider said there is “emerging research” to suggest that years like 2011 in which a La Nina fades tend to produce more tornadoes.

More deadly tornadoes may develop tomorrow from Kansas to Texas, Schneider said.

“There are some very dense population areas,” Schneider said. “This is a very serious situation that is brewing.”

Dave Samuel, senior meteorologist at AccuWeather Inc. in State College, Pennsylvania, said he doesn’t see much relief from the storms.

“I would be surprised if there is a day this week where there wasn’t a tornado report,” said Samuels. “There is going to be a nasty storm Tuesday through Thursday. I don’t see any big break coming.” -- http://www.bloomberg.com

The tornado that killed 116 people in Joplin, Missouri, was the deadliest single U.S. twister since 1953, with winds that may have reached 198 miles per hour (319 kph), according to Jack Hayes, director of the National Weather Service.

At least 481 people have died in tornadoes so far this year, the earliest such a high toll has ever been reached, said Russell Schneider, director of the weather service’s Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Oklahoma. Tomorrow is expected to be another active day for tornados from Kansas to Texas.

“We are now on pace for a record year for tornado fatalities,” Schneider said on conference call with reporters today. “I think we have to be aware that we are just now entering the peak of the season.”

The deadliest year for tornadoes in the U.S. was 1925, when 794 people were killed, according to the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration. Yesterday’s Joplin twister is tied with a 1953 Flint, Michigan, tornado as the single deadliest in records going back to 1950.

The three-quarter-mile wide tornado tore through Joplin, a city of 50,000 about 290 miles southwest of St. Louis, at 6 p.m. yesterday, destroying and damaging many homes and buildings, including St. John’s Regional Medical Center, according to state and local statements. City Manager Mark Rohr announced the latest death toll at a press conference today.

Rongorongo, the hieroglyphic script of Easter Island, has remained a mystery since its discovery. For over a hundred years, controversy has raged over the meaning and source of these enigmatic characters. Recently, it was reported that Dr. Steven Fischer had successfully deciphered this unique Oceanic "writing". To provide an opportunity to examine varying positions on the subject - an essay on Rongorongo by Steven Fischer, Ph.D. is hereby provided, with a corresponding critique and general overview offered by Jacques Guy, Ph.D.

Genetic testing of villagers in a remote part of China has shown that nearly two thirds of their DNA is of Caucasian origin, lending support to the theory that they may be descended from a 'lost legion' of Roman soldiers.

Tests found that the DNA of some villagers in Liqian, on the fringes of the Gobi Desert in north-western China, was 56 per cent Caucasian in origin.

Many of the villagers have blue or green eyes, long noses and even fair hair, prompting speculation that they have European blood.

A local man, Cai Junnian, is nicknamed by his friends and relatives Cai Luoma, or Cai the Roman, and is one of many villagers convinced that he is descended from the lost legion.

Archeologists plan to conduct digs in the region, along the ancient Silk Route, to search for remains of forts or other structures built by the fabled army.

"We hope to prove the legend by digging and discovering more evidence of China's early contacts with the Roman Empire," Yuan Honggeng, the head of a newly-established Italian Studies Centre at Lanzhou University in Gansu province, told the China Daily newspaper.

The genetic tests have leant weight to the theory that Roman legionaries settled in the area in the first century BC after fleeing a disastrous battle.

The clash took place in 53BC between an army led by Marcus Crassus, a Roman general, and a larger force of Parthians, from what is now Iran, bringing to an abrupt halt the Roman Empire's eastwards expansion.

Thousands of Romans were slaughtered and Crassus himself was beheaded, but some legionaries were said to have escaped the fighting and marched east to elude the enemy.

They supposedly fought as mercenaries in a war between the Huns and the Chinese in 36BC â€" Chinese chroniclers refer to the capture of a "fish-scale formation" of troops, a possible reference to the "tortoise" phalanx formation perfected by legionnaries. The wandering Roman soldiers are thought to have been released and to have settled on the steppes of western China.

The theory was first put forward in the 1950s by Homer Dubs, a professor of Chinese history at Oxford University.

The Roman Empire reached its greatest territorial extent under the Emperor Trajan in the 2nd century AD, just as the Han empire was beginning to decline.

Most historians believe that the two empires had only indirect contact, as silk and spices were traded along the Silk Road through merchants in exchange for Roman goods such as glassware.

But some experts believe they could instead be descended from the armies of Huns that marauded through central Asia, which included soldiers of Caucasian origin.

Maurizio Bettini, a classicist and anthropologist from Siena University, dismissed the theory as "a fairy tale".

"For it to be indisputable, one would need to find items such as Roman money or weapons that were typical of Roman legionaries," he told La Repubblica. "Without proof of this kind, the story of the lost legions is just a legend." -- http://www.telegraph.co.uk/

Tião was a chimpanzee from the Rio de Janeiro Zoo, who was a candidate for the office of mayor in Rio de Janeiro, in 1988. Representing the “Brazilian Banana Party,” the event was a farce perpetrated by the comedy duo Casseta & Planeta, who gave the campaign the slogan “Vote Monkey, Get Monkey.” The chimp, who also gained notoriety for throwing feces at various politicians at the zoo, ultimately received over 400,000 of the votes, or about 9.5%. All of these were officially recorded as “null” but it was enough for him to finish in a respectable third place. -- http://listverse.com/

CEBU, Philippines - Usa ka bana nga gibiyaan sa asawa tungod sa pagkasugarol, naghikog didto sa ilang balay sa barangay Lamac lungsod sa Consolacion sa miaging gabii.

Ang naghikog mao si Josmar Velasquez, 35, lumad nga taga barangay Kasungtingan, syudad sa Mandaue.

Sa inisyal nga imbestigasyon sa kapolisan nasayran nga usa ka ginganlan og Korodong ang tag-iya sa balay nga gipuy-an ni Velasquez gipangayuo-an og panabang sa ilang mga silingan human nila masigpati ang nagbitay nga lawas sa biktima sulod sa ilang balay.

Si Korodong dali usab nga mitawag og polis ug didto naabtan pa sa mga otoridad nga nagbitay si Velasquez sulod sa iyang lawak ginamit ang usa ka lambo.

Si Ritchell, ang asawa ni Velasquez mibutyag sa kapolisan nga gibiyaan niya ang iyang bana tulo na ka semana ang nakalabay kay dili na siya makaantos sa pagka-sugarol niini.

Nasayran gikan kang Ritchell nga hilig kaayo si Velasquez sa sugal nga buwang ug mahjong ug napakyas usab kini sa pagtuman sa iyang responsibilidad isip padre de pamilya.

Nasayran usab sa kapolisan nga sa wala pa maghikog si Velasquez, pipila ka adlaw ang milabay nanghangyo kuno kini sa iyang mga higala nga mangaligo sa dagat aron mahuwas-huwasan siya sa iyang gibati nga kaguol sa pagbiya sa iyang asawa.

Unya sa ilang pagpangaligo, misuway na unta og lumos sa iyang kinabuhi si Velasquez apan maayo nalang kay natabang kini sa iyang mga higala.

Dako ang pagduda sa kapolisan nga ang tumang kaguol gumikan sa pagbiya sa iyang asawa maoy usa sa hinungdan sa paghikog niini apan ila pa usab kining sutaon kun wala bay laing rason ang iyang pagpakamatay. (BANAT NEWS)

CEBU, Philippines - Maayong pagkatagak sa usa ka construction worker ngadto sa usa ka bung-aw pasado alas-2 sa kaadlawon kagahapon sa sitio Kalubihan barangay Banilad ning dakbayan apan gituohang dili aksidente ang nahitabo kundili gituyo kini paghagbong.

Ang biktima nailhan nga si Ramon Eloy, 33, samtang ang gikonsiderar nga suspetsado mao usab ang iyang kauban nga si Tony Aquillano Jr., 32.

Sa imbestigasyon sa kapolisan nasayran nga ang biktima ug ang suspetsado nagkalingaw og inom uban sa mga kahigalaan duol sa panimalay sa usa ka Laureto Villaver sa wala pa mahitabo ang pagkahagbong ni Eloy.

Pipila ka oras ang milabay, tungod sa ilang kahubog ang duha nagsinukmatay ug miresulta kini sa ilang sinumbagay ug wala lang damha nga mao usab kini ang hinungdan nga ang biktima natagak sa 12- metros nga bung-aw.

Gikatahong nag-una ang ulo sa biktima sa ubos ug maayong pagkabugsok niini sa aspaltadong dalan nga maoy hinungdan sa iyang hinanaling kamatayon.

Ang mga mirespondeng barangay tanod dali usab nga misikop sa suspetsado ug kini mi-esplikar nga ang biktima maoy mibalik ug mihagit kaniya og inom apan gibalibaran niya kini.

Apan giingong nasuko si Eloy ug gisuwayan siya og layog niini aron itukmod sa bung-aw hinungdan nga misukol siya ug nakiglayog apan sila na hinuong duha ang nangahagbong sa bung-aw.

Nangangkon kining naswertihan lang siya kay nasangit siya sa kilid sa bung-aw apan gidemalas si Eloy ug nalahos ngadto sa ubos.

Ang suspetsado kasamtangang gitanggong sa Mabolo Police Station samtang mihimo pa og lawom nga imbestigasyon ang kapolisan.

Matud pa ni PO3 Ruth Violango, sa Homicide Section nga sa ilang nakuha nga impormasyon sa wala pa matagak ang duruha gikatahong pareho na sila hubog ug sunod nga nadunggan nga naghinagitay og sukmagay ang duha. (BANAT NEWS)

Si Jesson (bansagon gipugngan), 40 anyos, minyo nga taga Yati sa lungsod sa Liloan nga usa ka taxi drayber nga nahinabi sa Banat News miingon kaniadto cartoon girls ang tawag kanila karon ‘hapyod girls’ na.

“Sir, hapyod ta!” maoy giingong sagad ibungat sa mga babaye o bugaw nga mga bayut sa mangagi sa maong lugar.

Giangkon usab hinuon ni Jesson nga adunay panahon nga may mga langyaw sama sa mga Hapon ug Koreano nga iyang pasahero nga manuyo gyud nga magpahatud sa maong dapit aron mokuha sa ‘serbisyo’ sa maong mga babaye.

Sumala pa niya nga makasapi siya og P300 matag babaye sanglit P500 iyang pangayo sa mga langyaw apan P200 ra ang sa mga babaye.

Usa kini ka klarong kalapasan sa Human Trafficking tungod sa pag-abuso sa kahuyang sa maong mga menor lakip na ang mga babayeng walay laing kapaingnan.

Ang kapolisan sa Mandaue ug sa dakbayan sa Sugbu niadtong mga nanglabay’ng mga buwan aktibong nanakop sa mga bugaw ug gisalbar ang mga biktima nga naglakip sa nahisgutang mga dapit.

Si Sr.Supt. Noel Gillamac ang director sa Mandaue City Police Office dihang gitawgan sa Banat News aron pagkuha sa iyang reaksyon kabahin niini dili makontak sa iyang numero.

Samtang si Sr. Supt. Melvin Buenafe, ang director sa Cebu City Police Office mibutyag sa Banat News nga kung adunay nalambigit nga mga menor masaligon siyang adunay himuong aksyon ang Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) niini.

Matud pang Buenafe nga tungod sa maong report mas pahugtan pa nila ang operasyon batok niining matang sa prostitusyon nga naglakip sa kanunay nga pagpatrolya sa nahisgutang mga dapit. (EIM)(BANAT NEWS)

CEBU, Philippines - Nagkakusog karon sa reclamation area sa dakbayan sa Mandaue ug dakbayan sa Sugbo ang gitawag nga ‘hapyod’ nga matang sa prostitusyon nga gikalambigitan sa mga babayeng minor de edad bugti sa P50 nga bayad niini.

Sumala pa sa nadawat nga impormasyon sa Banat News, ang sagad nga kostumer sa maong mga menor mga drayber sa taksi, mga container truck drivers sa pantalan ingon man mga construction workers.

Matud pa nga nagtanyag usab ang maong mga babaye og pagpakighilawas bugti sa P200 nga bayad nga mahimong anha lang himuon sa sulod sa sakyanan o dad-on ngadto sa sulod sa motel nga nahimutang usab sa maong lugar.

Sumala pa nga ang ‘hapyod’ nga serbisyo wala maglambigit sa aktwal nga pakighilawas kundili kutob ra sa pagduwa-duwa sa kinatawo wala pay labot sa ‘oral sex’ kun molabaw pa sa hapyod mosaka na ang presyo.

Magsugod sa pagbarogbarog sa daplin sa karsada sa maong mga dapit ang maong mga minor de edad nga mga babaye sugod alas-6 sa gabii hangtod na sa kaadlawon.

Gikatahong anha magburdo (magpa-display) ang maong mga babaye lakip na ang mga menor sa dalan nga manukad sa reclamation area duol sa usa ka dakong mall sa dakbayan sa Sugbo hangtod na ngadto sa mga dalan sa reclamation area sa dakbayan sa Mandaue.

Apan sagad nga daling makita sa maong dapit ang mga bayut nga maoy nagsilbi nilang mga bugaw.

Bisan ang mga lalaki nga maglakaw sa maong dapit nga magabhian gikan sa ilang trabaho sama construction workers ug mga truck boys ang ilang mga sagad nga parokyano ilabi na panahon sa tingsweldo.
