I Need A Sugar Daddy
I still want to be married to Erik, just a sugar daddy on the side. I wouldn't have to sleep with him or spend any time with him. He'd just buy me the extra things I need, because I deserve it. Like wipers, my wipers are nearly dead and scratching my windshield. A man who would buy me wipers would be sweet.

I'll take one too please!

Okay, site is back up.
Trust me; sleeping with a guy on teh side DOES NOT constitute ANY sugar daddy shit. Trust me on this one.

Allen Iverson hopes to play in China
Updated: 2012-04-28 11:21
By Yan Weijue (chinadaily.com.cn)
Following in his arch rival Stephon Marbury's foot steps, former NBA superstar Allen Iverson is seriously considering joining the Chinese basketball market.
Iverson confirmed on Thursday that he will seek to talk with some Chinese basketball clubs and hopes that there is an opportunity for him to play somewhere in the country, according to Modern Express.
Iverson arrived in Shanghai on Thursday for a two-week promotional basketball tour, where he will team up with other NBA stars including Dennis Rodman, Clyde Drexler, Shawn Kemp to play against three Chinese Basketball Association teams in seven games. The first leg is in Cixi, Zhejiang province on April 28, and the showdown is between the US Legends and the CBA champion Beijing Ducks.
One employee from the organizing committee of the tour revealed that the eagerness of the former NBA's Most Valuable Player in the 2000-2001 season and four-time scoring champion is inspired by the tremendous success of his old foe Stephon Marbury, who led the Ducks to their first-ever CBA title last season.
It makes Iverson's possible stay – a long-term one – in China more intriguing as the 37-year-old was spotted wearing a Chinese sports brand T-Shirt – Qiaodan - at a dinner party on Friday night.
Drafted as the No 1 pick by the Philadelphia 76ers in 1996, Iverson played 14 years in the NBA, averaging 26.7 points. He was deemed as one of the best shooting guards in the league's history. He played for the club of Beşiktaş Milangaz in Turkey in the 2009-10 season.

India's most successful woman boxer MC Mary Kom is spewing fire even though it is celebration time for her after clinching her maiden gold medal since jumping a division in the Asian Championships in Mongolia.
"In the past one year, a lot of comments have been made about me. Some said I was past my prime, that I am denying other more deserving boxers (notably multiple-time Asian champion L Sarita Devi) their chance but I am glad that I have been able to prove myself," Mary Kom said after coming back to the country on Tuesday.
This was the five-time world champion's first gold since leaving pin-weight (46kg) for 51kg, which is an Olympic category for the upcoming London Games.
Elated she might be, but the mother of two was a touch upset as well because of the criticism she had faced after managing just a bronze in the 2010 Asian Games -- her maiden appearance in the new division.
"I had a point to prove to my critics. Lot of people said that I will not have the strength to do well, it would be difficult for me to adjust. No doubt it was, but it wasn't impossible, and I just proved that," Mary Kom, who extracted revenge on her Asian Games nemesis -- Ren Cancan of China, said.
The 29-year-old, who has won Asian Championships gold thrice before in the pin-weight division, said she went into the event a smarter boxer after working hard on her defence in the past one year.
"I played very smart and clever. I had worked hard on my defence, besides I think my movement has also improved. And for all those who were doubting my credential since shifting my category, I can say that I am very comfortable in this division," she asserted.
"I have sorted out my weaknesses," she declared.
Asked what was the difference in fighting Cancan this time, Mary Kom said, "I think she was a bit intimidated by me. My technique was better and I guess, I managed to out-think her."
Mary Kom had a tough time after shifting her weight category as Devi, who incidentally also won a gold in Mongolia competing in the 60kg division, had staked her claim to the 51kg division since she was already competing in it prior to the Guangzhou Games.
Things became ugly when Sarita claimed Mary Kom had been unfairly selected and even threatened to return her Arjuna award.
"That was a phase which left me very upset. She has also jumped a division now but no one questioned her. But I was asked questions all the time about my decision, that hurt a lot," she said.
"But that is past now and now I can say, this new division is no big deal for me," she said.

The impeachment of President Trump was an above-the-fold story on the front pages of virtually every newspaper in the United States on Thursday. And nearly all of them played it straight — a nod to the historical significance of just the third impeachment of a U.S. president in history.
Most newspapers ran a photo of a somber-looking Trump. Some featured House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announcing the passage of the articles of impeachment against Trump in the House chamber. Others used photos of Pelosi in the House and Trump onstage at his rally in Battle Creek, Mich., where he learned of his impeachment.
The New York Post, however, took a swipe at Pelosi on its front page, declaring her a "Swamp Queen" and the dark attire she wore to the impeachment vote fit for a "funeral."

ArmInfo. South Caucasus Railway CEO Sergey Valko and GeoProMining Group President Roman Khudoly signed an agreement to organize transportation of gold ore from the Sotsk deposit to the GeoProMining Gold company's Ararat gold recovery plant in 2020.
According to the SCR press service, the agreement provides for a possible increase in 2020 of the volume of ore transported along the Zod-Ararat route with a length of 269 kilometers to the level of 2019. This year, the entire volume of ore transportation from Zoda to Ararat is carried out by rail, and by the end of the year it is planned to transport 1.5 million tons of ore, which is 15% more than in 2018. Since 2008, as a result of significant investments by the two companies, the actual growth in transportation and processing of ore was three times.
GeoProMining Gold company upgraded the Ararat factory, introducing the Albion innovative technology for processing refractory ores in 2014, and also installed a car dumper for transshipment of ore from the railway, which helped stabilize the supply of ore to the factory. GPM Gold's investment in these projects amounted to $ 160 million.
On the part of SCR, it has been restored that has not been working since the beginning of the 90s. electric centralization station at the Zod station, overhaul of the loading route of the station was carried out, a semi- automatic blocking system based on microprocessor technologies was restored on the Shorzha-Zod section, which ensured non-stop movement throughout the entire section of the Zod-Ararat route and reduced the time of ore delivery to the consumer. The state of the contact network has been significantly improved, overhaul of tracks using reinforced concrete sleepers has been carried out, which has increased the weight and speed of trains. In general, since 2008 more than 2 billion drams have been invested in the indicated works in the Sevan-Zod section.
According to Sergey Valko, GeoProMining Gold is the largest partner of the railway, and the share of goods transported for it reaches 55% of SCR freight. <The company's investments in the modernization and maintenance of track facilities in this direction are in the focus of SCR management. Since 2018, the company has also begun the planned renewal of rolling stock. In 2018, 40 new gondola cars were purchased, another 40 new gondola cars are planned to be purchased before the end of this year>, the head of the railway said.
In turn, the president of the GeoProMining Group of Companies, Roman Khudoly, expressed satisfaction with the cooperation with SCR. <The situation of 2008-2009 was still remembered, when the railway hardly provided even small transportation compared to today's volumes from Sotka to Ararat due to constantly arising technical problems. At present, our partner is successfully ensuring annual growth in traffic from the field to the factory in Ararat, which allows us to implement our investment and production plans without interference, "said Roman Khudoly.
South Caucasus Railway CJSC is a 100% subsidiary of Russian Railways OJSC and provides concession management of Armenian railways. The railway infrastructure of Armenia was transferred to the concession management of SCR CJSC in accordance with the Concession Agreement signed on February 13, 2008. The concession management period is 30 years with the right to extend for another 10 years.

The Andes Mountains & Incan Towns
Our last couple of work days were so emotional. We started to build the walls for the home, and for the first time we were able to experience the shape of the home, and got to see the excitement in Evelyn's face; this was her home, and now she can start to really see and feel the solidity of the home! The goodbyes were tough. I couldn't believe this was it, I felt like we should have stayed one more week to see it through.
Alas, our time there was up. The following day, we all got up at 5am to embark into Andes Mountains to venture into a few Incan Towns.
Of course, many fell asleep. I sat in the front of the bus with Grace and Zenon. Grace kept me awake, telling every which thing, until she eventually got comfortable with the blanket she shared with me and fell asleep. I sat, still, not wanting to disturb her, until Zenon started talking to me, giving me some back story about the places we would go, and talking to me about Grace. He loves her very much, and just wants the best for her.
It started to get light out, but the bus was still very quiet, peaceful. Zenon pointed out Incan highways, talked about his best friend Jimmy Carter and coacoa tea, until he also grew quiet as he started to really see the world outside the window. I looked out as well, at the sky as it changed colors with the rising sun, the foothills of the Andes rapidly approaching, creating stark edges against the sky.
The further we went, the more vegetation was able to be seen on the side of the rock; cactus, trees, dirt, and something yellowish. Almost consistently, there was always some sort of water bank, whether it be part of a river or a small lake.
Eventually, the familiar sounds of shuffling weight and morning sighs gave us warning of the bus waking up. Finally, there was a whisper and an eruption of laughter. Zenon smiled, crinkles on the sides of his eyes from many years of smiles and laughter and told me in Spanish "Ya, asi empieza"; "Yup, this is how it starts".
I could hear whispers of people being hungry, wondering when breakfast would happen. Kathy turned around from the front seat to talk to Zenon, and I heard him tell the bus driver to stop "En la calabera de mi abuela"; "at my grandmother's skull".
We stopped, stretched out our legs. Grace ran around, pulling me along in stride. Everyone seemed a little bit confused, but got out of the bus and stretched out their legs, and admired the mountains they suddenly found themselves surrounded by. When everyone was out, Zenon got our attention and pointed to the rocks and proudly proclaimed with a chuckle; "This is my grandmother". Grace pointed out more faces on the side of the rock, and we took turns making up names for them.
We got back on the bus, and drove up some more. I looked over my shoulder to see the others looking out the windows at the sight, eyes wide. We stopped an hour later for coffee, hard boiled eggs, bread, bananas, and mandarins. We walked around, took pictures. Grace, Kathy, and I, took to throwing rocks down the valley into the water. We didn't quite make it, but we tried.
After we finished our breakfast, we loaded back to the bus. Jack's eyes lit up at the sight of Doritos. Zenon laughed and shook his head. We had to wait until the air pressure popped the bag open. The bags were full of air, and looked like the "Happy Mother's Day!" balloons you can get at the dollar store.
We passed through many smaller towns, taking potty breaks in the small convenience stores. These towns looked to be only a street long and wide. Some had schools, others did not.
We finally made it to the first Incan town, Laraos. We marched off the bus, checked on the unpopped Dorito bags, and wandered into the town. It was so colorful, and truly a wonder. Nina kept asking "how does someone build all this up here in the mountains?" I don't know, but it's great. The town sat above a valley that dove deep, almost straight down, where I spied cows and donkeys grazing.
We followed the town's vice mayor into a community center where she dressed us all, one by one, in traditional Peruvian gear. The women wore thick, long, colorful skirts, a matching corset, and a thick shawl, with a straw hat on top. The men wore a longer shawl and a black hat.
Everyone was ecstatic to dress up. I got dressed in purple, Grace in pink, Rosa in green, and Kathy in blue. We went out to take group pictures and wander around the town. After photos, the group donned the clothing, but I held on a while longer to get some shots with Kathy, Rosa, and Grace. Zenon was our personal photographer, and I felt like they had accepted me into their family.
Lunch was at a little closet restaurant where they served a single menu item; Pachamanca and a kind of tamarind tea. The word "pachamanca" means cooked underground, with the rocks. This is a traditional style of cooking in the mountains, where the food is heated with the rocks on the floor. Our dish included corn, green beans, potato, yucca, sweet tamales, and chicken. Zenon traded my chicken for his sweet tamales.
Following lunch, we had about 20 minutes to explore. I was really curious about the valley, and wanted to see how low I could go to get close to the cows and the donkeys. Grace and I descended and eventually found the donkeys! But they didn't want to be found, and kept running away from us. Fair enough, we were strange creatures to them. We finished our little hike and got back on the bus for the second town.
Many fell asleep, the drowsiness hits after a full meal. We drove an hour more to another town, where Zenon asked about a llama. We were too late; the family who had owned the llama had already eaten him! With that, we drove away. There was debate as to whether or not we would be able to make it to a third town, it would be getting dark soon, and it would no longer be safe to drive this high up in the mountains.
They settled on a town on the way down. We started driving, past the first town we stopped in, and then took a different route than what we had initially used. We passed through several other towns, but we didn't stop there. We kept going. The bus was quiet; no one had woken up yet. Then suddenly, Zenon was trying to get their attention. We would be driving inside of a canyon, and he didn't want them to miss this opportunity.
Cameras and cell phones out, we watched as the walls around us became narrower, and the river we were driving alongside became a stream. There was a long pipe that lined one side of the walls; the driver said it brings water from all the way up here down to the towns in the valley, the very towns we had driven past on our way up.
We finally stopped at the end of the canyon, to a wide open valley. We got out, took a potty break and stretched out our legs. This town felt a little empty, but not in the sense that no one is around, rather that everyone is hiding. It was so beautiful. It reminded me of the stillness of Requena, Spain; surely there are people here, but we are strangers, and they just aren't quite sure if they should come out or not. There was so much color.
We trekked back into the bus, and I noticed that the Doritos had popped. It didn't take long for us to quickly pass them around and consume them. It seems that Peruvian Doritos have a certain kick that American ones just don't. We were obsessed with them.
This time around, Grace was more energetic on the bus, and turned around to talk with the rest of the group. She started with Jack, asking him to win a game on Kathy's phone for her. Next was Jess and Adriana. We played a name game, and the rest on the bus were spectators, cheering us on. This was the first time I saw her truly open up to the rest of the group, and I was happy for it. She is shy about her English, but I know it's in there! They helped her out, teaching her phrases and answering the multitude of questions she has. She never runs out of questions.
I was a little bit tired, so I listened to them and watched out the window instead of more directly participating. I had my time with Grace, I can't be greedy. Eventually it started to get dark, the group started to quiet down as the days exhaustion started to hit them. Jess moved to the back of the bus for a nap, and Grace moved to sit next to Adriana and talk. For the first time that whole day, I finally let myself lean against the seat and window and closed my eyes.
The quiet didn't last long however. I am a light sleeper, and I felt Jess's footsteps approach the front of the bus to talk with Zenon. She was asking about dinner; the plan was to get Chifa – Peruvian Chinese food. She was wondering if instead we could just make sandwiches at the center and call it a night. I'm sure everyone was tired, and this made sense to do, however, Zenon did not take to the news very well. He was a man with a plan, and he was thinking out loud on how to pivot the plan and make it suit our needs better. I think his musing stressed her out a little bit, and she turned to the group to see what we wanted. Many of us were okay with waiting a while longer to try Chifa. So it was decided.
We got back to the hotel, dropped off our bags and went right back on the bus to be dropped off at a Chifa restaurant. I sensed the mood had changed. Maybe Zenon was running out of patience, or we weren't flexible enough, or maybe everyone was just really tired and hangry. I'm not sure. But dinner didn't feel as warm as lunch. Zenon, Grace, Rosa, and Kathy all sat on one end of the table, and the rest of us on our own side. What happened to integrating the groups? I was a little bit sad. I didn't know it then, but that was the last time I saw Grace.
The day eventually came to end, around 10:30pm. The next day we would be up at 6am to get a bus to Lima. I went to my room, exhausted, and worried. I didn't want to leave Peru with Zenon and his family having a negative image of us. I kept going around and around in mind, trying to figure out when and how and why the mood changed so drastically, and maybe I just won't ever know exactly what. And maybe I'm an overthinker.
I heard voices in the common room, echoing through the hallways and bouncing off the walls into my room. A couple of people were talking about the day, and about the sudden turn of events. They had the same thought. They wanted to remember the good things, not the stress or the anxiety. Hearing this put me at ease. I finally went off into sleep.
The next morning we wanted to show them we could be better prepared and more attentive. We arrived early to breakfast, instead of 15 minutes late as we had consistently done all week. We came with our luggage so we wouldn't need to return to the hotel again, and leave for Lima even sooner.
Zenon was alone. It was a Sunday, and Kathy, Mace, Rosa, and Little Rosa, were nowhere in sight. I understood. These women probably haven't had a day off in about a month, for it was one group after the other, and they were there for us every step of the way, giving us everything we could ever need and more. The level of service and attention is truly outstanding, and it always makes me wonder who is supposed to be serving who? Aren't we here to work and build? It's exhausting work, and I didn't blame them. Zenon, however, was very flustered, quickly trying to make us our regular breakfast of avocado, bread, and scrambled eggs. Stephanie, Nina, Sam, and I decided to try and help. We got up and started making the orange juice for him, and asked him if he wanted help with the eggs too, but he didn't want us to help him with that. He kept checking his phone, trying to get any word back from Kathy.
We got our breakfast in order and ate quietly as Zenon started formulating a plan for us to follow. We put our luggage into Zenon's car; he didn't want us taking it onto the public bus we were going to take. Instead he would drive to Lima on a different route and have our luggage safe in the fuller center office there.
Finally, Kathy came, a little bit out of breath, sleep in the corners of her eyes. She said she missed her alarm. We got into 3 different cabs to the bus station. It was quite smaller than I anticipated, and I almost didn't recognize it as a bus station. I was oddly excited to board the bus. When I studied abroad, travel by bus was the cheapest way to go, so I knew the drill. I am now conditioned to believe that the end of a lengthy bus trip lays an adventure.
The bus was very comfortable. I sat towards the front with Nina, with a good vantage point to see the screen. In the length of the bus ride, a couple of movies aired; Princess and the Geek and Pitch Perfect 3, both in Spanish.
I looked out the window a few times, and it was very dusty outside. We didn't drive into Lima the same way we had initially driven to Cañete. The outside world looked like a desert.
Before we knew it, we had arrived. The bus station we pulled into was much bigger than the one in Cañete, and it felt more familiar to me. After a brief potty break, we scuttled into three more cabs and went into city center to watch the changing of the guards. A small marching band and a drumline created the soundtrack as the guards marched around with their rifles. They did some drop spins, but to my dismay, no tosses or intricate marching routines. Alas, tis not marching band!
Many of us were out of Peruvian currency by the time we arrived to city center, so we needed to exchange moneys. Kathy was alone today, leading us through the day and I could tell she was a little weary, but determined to help us figure out where to exchange our money. She found a police man who took it upon himself to escort us to the spot where we would exchange money, and later to the atm. The police man was funny, asking me if I was Peruvian. I shook my head and explained I was with the group and he laughed and said I could pass, and to watch out for any Peruvian man might approach me. I laughed and nodded. The police man was very excited to help us out, and was ready to give us a tour of Lima. I would have gladly followed, but the group wanted McDonalds. We thanked the kind sir and went along to the nearest McDs.
I've been to many McDs in other countries, and even though I never would go to one in the states, it's interesting to see the manifestation of American culture in new places. In Italy, 4 different kinds of pasta are added to the menu, as well as a coffee bar featuring Italian classics, such as marrochinos and coronettos, and some Italian-American creations. The one in Peru had chicken added to their menu, and opportunities to bundle them up with other menu items. As I am vegetarian, I was already planning on just getting fries, but the woman at the register helped me build my own sandwich without meat, which was really awesome! They would never do that in the states.
I sat at a long table in front of Kathy, and watched as she picked at the food in front of her. I could tell she wasn't quite used to it, and then she asked if this is the food Americans eat all the time? I laughed and told her, well yes, a lot of Americans eat it, on the go. I explained what a to-go window was and her eyes went wide and she shook her head and laughed.
Our next stop was to the catacombs of Lima! This was probably my favorite thing out of all the Peru exploring we did – at least a tie with driving through the Andes mountains. I love going to museums and learning about the history of a place, and that is exactly what we did. I am knowledgeable of some Mexican history, how the Spanish conquered the Aztecs and Mayas there and colonized it. I knew about the mestizo culture a little bit too. But I guess I never thought about how the Spanish impacted other places and people of the world outside of Mexico, the Inquisition, or the Moorish communities of Andalucia. But it makes sense. Peru was Inca territory before the Spanish, and they were taken over, Christianized, there way of life completely shaken and changed.
The museum that leads to the catacombs holds the bones of important Spanish men and tells the story of St. Francis, his educational tactics, holds one of the oldest libraries I've ever seen, is the home to the beginnings of musical literature. It used to be a Franciscan Monastery, and before that something else of the Incas. It was remodeled by the Franciscanos with tile handcrafted and shipped from Sevilla. I was excited to see the tile; I didn't need the tour guide to tell me where it was from, I recognized it from the tile I had seen at Real Alcazar, a palace in the city center of Sevilla. Real Alcazar used to be a Moorish temple before becoming sort of an embassy for visitors of the Spanish Royal Family.
The catacombs below were dark, the ceilings low but the hallways wide in some places but then so thin you could barely fit one person at a time. What was really interesting to me was how the bones were arranged, grouped by type of bone rather than outlining a skeleton. Archeologists laid it out this way to make it appeasing to the eye (and probably keep from scaring people with the image of literal death). The people in these catacombs used to be organized by importance and rank; people would be able to buy and set aside a place for them to be buried, and that place may be really well kept and private or maybe not, it all depended on your social status. Most of those buried here were high class Spanish men, but some wives and children made it into this lot as well. When the archeologists reorganized the space, the bones were mixed up, and now no one can tell who was who really anymore, and that is so amazing to me. In the end we are just human, and our time on this earth truly is brief.
After the catacombs, Zenon took us to a market a ways from city center. There were three cabs waiting for us, but they wanted to overcharge us for the ride. Zenon got mad, and walked away from the cab drivers muttering under his breath. We all thought it was funny, and eventually the drivers lowered the price a bit. Driving away from city center was really interesting. Some of the infrastructure reminded me of Mexico and Milan, but maybe I was just missing these other sites.
The market was very cool. It was a bit secluded, but the prices were good, the sellers ready to haggle, and I was able to find everything I was looking for; a sweater, a hat, shot glasses, and easy llama keychains. Everyone was really excited about shopping, and more than happy about souvenirs. I got sucked into the glamour shopping, and didn't even notice when Kathy left. Like many of the other wonderful people I had met, she slipped away, subtly, barely saying goodbye.
The market was a short walk away from the Fuller Center office in Lima. There we dropped our bags with the luggage Zenon had brought for us, and walked a few more blocks to a chicken place. If anyone has ever had Church's Chicken in Mexico, think of a place like that, just a slight step up. I ate salad and drank Inca Cola, and sat next to Zenon. I could tell he was tired. It had been quite the long day for everyone, and quite the long run for him too; this was the last day of two consecutive groups in a row.
We walked back to the center to pick up our bags, and I walked alongside Zenon. I realized this would be the last chance I'd get with him. We spoke in Spanish, I asked him questions about the different signs we saw, about the next group that would be coming, about Grace. He spoke of his dreams for the Fuller Center one last time with me.
Before we knew it, we had our luggage in place and packed in the bus. This was our last stop with Zenon; we would be dropped off at the Airport and then be on our way back to the states. Just like Kathy, just like Grace, and Little Rosa before them, Zenon slipped away, barely saying goodbye. Maybe it's just a Peruvian thing; or maybe just a human thing, to avoid goodbyes and let people slip in and out of your life.
You Can't Take It With You
I learned so much in Peru, from spending time in the community building Evelyn's house, and from getting the opportunity to see many different sides of Peru. So much more than I could have even guessed. I've never been very much for souvenirs; I usually just buy them for other people. I've learned that souvenirs don't always bring back the experiences, the memories you made, or the people you met. It's something nice to share, but the really important parts of every trip always stay; the people, the sites, the food. To experience it again, you simply have to go back. All I've left now is the sweet memory, and I'm so thankful for it.
The more I travel, the more I fall in love with the world and the more I can't sit still. The post travel depression I have felt since returning home is so real, but I must hold on to the memory and trust that one day I will be out there again. If there's anything I've learned in Peru, it's the importance of trust, and just being okay with not knowing every detail because no matter what, it will work out if it's meant to be and it will likely be amazing.

The stunning colorful watches Elements feature shock resistant black protection and are easy to read thanks to the luminova on hour hands and hour markers. Unlike most other sports wristwear qualifying to only 50 meters, the PH references with screw-down crown comply to 100 meters water resistance - Twice as much. Extra features such as the safe bracelet attachment and an additional free bracelet are not something you will often come across. The dark grey multi-sport functions of the watch faces are not providing you with the distance covered and lap time, but instead, these are robust, hassle-free, and durable Swiss quartz timekeepers. There is no need to recharge your timepiece as the battery offers a comfortable 45 months lifetime. Remember, only 75 units of each model will ever be produced, with the reference Elements PH8 now sold-out and discontinued.
Quality sports watches for men and women can be found in all sorts of shapes and forms. Wryst produces a more brutal and bold modern look. Hundreds of millions of wristwatches are sold every year, and itis not always easy to choose within vast and diverse models. Most of the references sold have a round face, are more classic in style, and produced in large quantities.
The vision of Wryst is new and different. At an early stage, we understood the future of wristwear is to precisely offer designs and quantities not usually found through the regular channels. To be different and unique, a brand needs to learn and understand what people want to wear and why. Most extreme sports and adventure people need a sturdy, durable, and stylish timepiece. They just want to make the most of their investment and never get bored of wearing their accessory. Here are several reasons why you should take a closer look at the collection Elements:
Sports often require a hassle-free experience. Nowadays, the digital and smartwatches need looking after - Recharging, updating, upgrading is not ideal.
Choose a Swiss quartz movement with 45 months extended battery life for your peace of mind. No need to worry about anything! Just grab your beloved and all-important timepiece and strap it on your wrist.
With the Wryst Elements, you can enjoy the world of Swiss Watchmaking, which is the guarantee of a long term investment. Plus, you do not have to look for another style as the collections are timeless, and this is what we do best. Years of studies lead to a design created so you can just not get bored of it—no need to change the style, no need to feel like you need a new timepiece. The Wryst Elements is so timeless that your children and grandchildren will want to wear one. There are only 75 pieces of each available, and when they are gone, they are gone!
Swiss watchmaking is the guarantee of a long-lasting experience for your investment. Wryst also offers the most robust materials ready to endure a rough environment and excessive wear.
The "K1" mineral crystal of these exclusive men's wristwear is more shatter-proof than sapphire and more scratch-proof than mineral crystal. In short, your timepiece is invincible. Also, the black coating DLC is just much harder than stainless steel itself. You won't be worried about scratch marks on the case, because they are the world's hardest at this price point. Another great added value is the two bracelets included. Since the beginning in 2012, Wryst always included two bracelets with each wristwatch. This way, you can add a different feel to the look of your wrist timepiece, and the bracelet will last twice as long.
The Swiss movement inside your Elements reference is also anti-magnetic and anti-choc.
Most other brands are trying their best to offer the best specifications, but none of them like we do.
We know you want to make the most of your investment, and it is our top priority. You will never find a quality Swiss brand offering so much and for such a low price. Plus, we are only producing small series.

We also offer several other collections with, for example, the heavy-duty chronograph watch Wryst Force also provided in exclusive limited edition.
If you are looking for a more manly and higher-end version of this design, choose the Racer SX4 size 50mm (Instead of 45mm size). The Racer automatic collection is the most brutal looking timekeeper from the independent watch brand and holds a Swiss mechanical caliber. Several references are available in different color combinations. The SX4 is the closest to this collection Elements but with a much bolder look and feel. All the sportswear luxury accessories manufactured in a small edition are all including two different bracelets.

Thanksgiving thoughts
Happy Turkey Day, everyone. No, I'm not posting a holiday rant. Not yet, anyway. Just having a quiet and reflective morning and wanted to share some thoughts.
Some of you may know this — Thanksgiving was actually my favorite holiday for many years. No religious overtones, no gifts to buy, no cards to send… just a day where you got together with loved ones, had wonderful food and if you were of a mind to, counted your blessings.
I loved going to my mother and stepfather's for Thanksgiving. My mother and I have always had our ups and downs, but on Thanksgiving, all that was put aside. I looked forward to arriving at their place; it would be warm and cozy, filled with mouth-watering smells and festively decorated. There was usually an eclectic bunch present; Mom had always been one to take in the people who were by themselves, at loose ends, on holidays. Over the years, I'd brought my share of friends who had no other place to go, and they were warmly welcomed.
No one cooked like my mother. Her turkeys were always tender and juicy, even the white meat. She'd collect all the drippings and juices, put them in the freezer until all the fat rose to the top, then skim it off. I don't know how she thickened the gravy, but she didn't use flour and it was never lumpy or pasty. She always put in plenty of cooked fresh mushrooms, because she knew I loved them. Oh, and her stuffing… I could have made a meal of that alone, mountains of it. I hate yams, and you can have mashed potatoes anytime. Pass on that disgusting Thanksgiving staple, the goopy green bean/mushroom soup casserole with canned fried onions on top. (Not that she ever made that!) But my mom's stuffing — starchy Nirvana.
She and my stepdad and their friends were partial to a lemon cheesecake from Baker's Square pies for dessert. However, I thought cheesecake after all that rich food was utterly gross, and besides, you have to have pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving. So I always brought one.
Even cleanup was fun, as we'd crowd into the kitchen, wrapping leftovers, washing dishes, laughing, sated and giddy with carb/tryptophan overload. I figured since I didn't do the cooking, the least I could do was help with the mess afterward and I enjoyed doing so. I'd spend the next couple of nights there. After John came into my life, I'd come home Saturday morning and spend the rest of the weekend with him. He'd be with his own family on Thanksgiving; we'd mutually agreed that he'd see his, I'd see mine, and we'd get together afterwards.
It was a lovely place to be. I felt like a kid again, or at least how a kid should feel… comfortable, loved, well fed and cared for. Safe.
Then my mother began her slow descent into dementia, and everything changed.
Thanksgiving went from warm and pleasant to not-so-pleasant, then uncomfortable, then spectacularly awful. There were tears and fights and ruined food. And finally, it was over. My mother went into an assisted-care facility, and that was the end of Thanksgiving as we knew it.
For the past two years, I have refused to acknowledge Thanksgiving. I have treated it like just another Thursday, staying home and watching DVDs, reading, whatever I felt like doing. John continued to do his own thing with whichever family member was in town; I was always welcome and I knew that, but I didn't want to go and begged off. He understood and didn't pressure me, although I know he was disappointed. I couldn't help it. It was too damn depressing for me and I preferred to withdraw and ignore the whole thing.
This year is different. This year, for better or worse, I think I'm ready to rejoin the living.
We are invited to John's sister's house later this afternoon; most of his family will be there. I have many mixed feelings about going, but above everything else, I want to be with John. I know he wants me there and I want to be there for him. It's one meal, it's a few hours. I could have lost him in recent weeks. On this day, I want to be with the person in my life for whom I'm the most thankful.
And hey, there are bright sides. John has two sisters: one prepares food that is tasty and reasonably healthy; the other one's cooking makes me feel like all the blood in my body has been replaced by butterfat. Fortunately, the former is doing the cooking today, not the latter. 🙂
All right — time to do some laundry, get some other things done and then prepare to head out. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday, whatever you're doing. I wish you peace, happiness and a thankful heart this day.

Next up, the start of Peter F Hamilton's latest big fat series.
The 36th century is a good time to be a human.
No, really. Wormhole technology and rapid technological advancement has made humans a pretty big player on the galactic stage. Sure, there are post-singularity beings floating about here and there, and a few species which do things that we humans don't understand, and some pugnacious species as well. Still, its been 1200 years since a threat capable of taking on the whole of the human race has emerged.
But when a retired and missing dream-fueled religious prophet's followers decide to conduct a pilgrimage toward the mysterious center of the galaxy, where one of those powerful alien races have been keeping a vigil over a threat capable of devouring everything and everyone, the quiet peace that the human race is bound to end. Just what IS the Void in the center of the Galaxy, and what do the dreams suggesting that it is inhabited–by humans, mean? And what does it mean that an uncrowned successor to that prophet is now broadcasting more dreams of that strange realm? And with new fractures and fissures in the increasing divergent branches of humanity, how can the Commonwealth possibly coordinate a response this time?
It looks like Interesting Times are in store for the Human Race once more…
The Dreaming Void is set 1200 years after Peter F Hamilton's Pandora's Star and Judas Unchained. Set in a universe where anti-aging technology, combined with wormhole technology has led to a Commonwealth of worlds and cultures, Hamilton has extrapolated the already amazing universe depicted in those previous two novels and brought new and extended concepts, ideas and characters to his rich tapestry.
Even better, Hamilton has improved as a writer. Readers who have read the Pandora's Star duology, or the Reality Dysfunction trilogy knows that he writes sprawling, brawling large scale novels with lots of characters and word counts that push 1000 pages. The Dreaming Void clocked in just under 600 pages.
We meet plenty of new characters, as well as some old favorites who have survived all this time. Even in a conservative society such as the Commonwealth does not allow people to remain static over such time scales and Hamilton's increasingly deft characterization makes the evolution of the characters over that time believable.
It's Edeard's story, though, that is the real innovation in Hamilton's writing. An intensely personal story that could be considered magic (or at least psionics) in a quasi-medieval setting inside the Void, his story is intriguing and interesting–and very unlike anything I have read in a Hamilton novel before. I was pleasantly surprised.
That said, the standard virtues of a Hamilton novel are in full force here. Aside from Edeard's story, back in the main universe readers will encounter amazing technology, strange aliens, a variety of characters and settings, a wide scale view of an entire culture as the narrative proceeds apace. Hamilton writes some of the best Space Opera in the business and those talents are in full force in this book.
Hamilton has significantly and visibly improved as a writer with this series, and I look forward to picking up and reading the Temporal Void, the next book in this trilogy.
A final note: Do you need to have read Pandora's Star and Judas Unchained to read this book? I think, actually, that they provide value-added goodness but are not strictly necessary. I think a practiced SF reader can start here and be perfectly happy and follow what is happening and why with minimum problems.

Many would say we live in a golden era for watch collecting. Luxury timepieces enjoy greater popularity than ever before, resulting in the birth and rebirth of some of the greatest watchmakers in history. But there is a dark side to the horological renaissance: fakes. With modern manufacturing methods it is cheaper and easier than ever to mass-produce cheap replicas, many of which are becoming better and better at avoiding detection. For buyers, this is a big problem - so we are pleased to present a guide to beating the fakes. Today we specifically look at one of the great legends of horology: Omega.
Is it real? A buyer's guide to spotting a fake Omega
Let the Experts Do Their Thing
The pointers in this article below will hopefully get you a long way to proving that your watch is the genuine article. But you can never be too sure when it comes to such an important investment. Fake Omega watches are getting better all the time, often fooling the most confident of collectors, and the only real guarantee is the one that comes from knowing the seller. Be sure to choose a retailer with a stellar reputation like CHRONEXT. CHRONEXT ensures total authenticity for 100% of our stock, thanks to a team of certified experts in our in-house workshop, who apply an authentication process to every watch we sell. Purchasing a luxury timepiece responsibility is really the only safe option these days, and doing so with CHRONEXT will provide you with carefree service and peace of mind.
Omega is one of Switzerland's best known brands, with 170 years of history. Its watches are used by everyone from astronauts to James Bond, as they are known for their unrivalled functionality, durability and style. When it comes to how to establish the authenticity of an Omega watch, your first port of call should simply be a check for quality: a real Omega will display nothing but the finest craftsmanship.
It's also vital to do your research before you buy. Make sure you know the model you are looking for and have a good idea of how much it should cost. Check that the model you are buying has all of the features it should have, and that they work properly. It should have a unique identifying serial number engraved on the case, which you can check against Omega's records. Fake Omega watches are among the most common kinds of replicas on the market – below, we will examine two of the most popular series.
How to spot a fake Omega Speedmaster...
There are many different models of the legendary Omega Speedmaster, the most famous (and commonly faked) is of course the Moonwatch. Check the subdial layout to ensure it perfectly matches the official version, and make sure each subdial is recessed into the dail, not simply painted on. Check the central minutes hand for length – it should reach out all the way to the smaller gradations on the minute track. Fake watches sometimes have shorter hands. Check the lettering and other elements on the dial, which should be flawless. Watches with a hesalite crystal should have a tiny Omega logo engraved in the underside, dead-centre (unless the crystal was replaced by a previous owner). The lume on the indexes and hands should be bright and long-lasting – many fakes have inferior quality lume. The tachymeter on the bezel is another place to check – make sure the positioning of the numbers is exactly in line with an official Speedy.
Next up is the clockwork. If in doubt, get professional help to open the case and take a look inside the watch. Most current Moonwatch models use the rhodium-plated caliber 1861, which is based on the Nouvelle Lémania 1873 - a movement that was also used in Patek Philippe watches until a few years ago. Don't be surprised: in the newer models of the classic Moonwatch made of plexiglass and steel, the blocking lever is made of plastic. Speaking of plexiglass: on a real Omega, there is a small, engraved logo in the middle of the plexiglass crystal.
... and how a fake Omega Seamaster
Many of the same tips above apply to other Omega watches, including the iconic Seamaster. Like the Speedy, it comes in a wide range of models, so make sure you know what yours should look like. There are several tips for spotting a replica watch that work for most of these models. For example, check the helium escape valve. It should be positioned just above 10 o'clock. Some fakes place it on or just below. Check the luminous dot at 12 o'clock on the bezel – it should be in the centre of the triangle, not off-centre or outside it. Equally, the numerals in the date window should be exactly centred and not too small. This is particularly noticeable in the single digits for some fakes.

Borehole Electromagnetic Telemetry System
Theory, Modeling, and Applications
- 462 Downloads
Part of the SpringerBriefs in Petroleum Geoscience & Engineering book series (BRIEFSPGE)
Part of the SpringerBriefs in Petroleum Geoscience & Engineering book series (BRIEFSPGE)
The authors begin by introducing borehole electromagnetic telemetry and explaining each part of the system with schematics and illustrations. They describe the working principle and compare it with other borehole wireless communication methods, such as mud pulse telemetry.
They then address 2D and 3D electromagnetic telemetry modelling, listing previous 2D and 3D modeling methods and detailing the advantages and limitations, before discussing their recent work on a novel layered finite element method for 2D electromagnetic telemetry modelling, and on 3D electromagnetic modelling based on integral equation, thin wire kernel, and layered medium Green's functions.
Lastly, the authors show applications of electromagnetic telemetry, including single well borehole wireless communication and cross well communication in pad drilling. This includes photos, figures, and field data from real oilfield jobs.
This book is a useful reference for drilling engineers, well logging tool research and development scientists and researchers, as well as for students in the areas of petroleum engineering and electrical engineering.

Meet The Maltese Guys Trying To Make A Living From Playing Video Games
For a lot of people out there, getting paid for playing video games sounds like an impossible dream, but for a small group of around a dozen Maltese people, this is a challenge worth accepting.
Sites like YouTube and Twitch have over the last couple of years hosted people from all over the world steaming themselves playing video games, and in the case of gamers like PewDiePie (who is currently the most subscribed-to person on YouTube with over 53 million followers), the dream of being able to live off of video games has not only become a reality, but has recently taken a turn into the insanely lucrative.
Over these last couple of years, tens of millions of gamers looking to make a living from streaming have moved to Twitch, an online video broadcasting platform that promises to put gamers first. As it stands, the site is now the fourth highest trafficking site on the Internet during peaking hours, right after Netflix, Google and Apple. With nearly 10 million daily active users and mechanisms put in place for viewers to donate money, Twitch has become a hub for people all over the world who come to stream, view, interact with each other, and try to make a living out of video games. The potential income kicks off when a successful Twitch user who amasses enough followers and constant videos gets an offer to become a Twitch Partner, whereby a subscriber button will directly translate to money. And with a monthly income of $4.99 per subscriber, some of the most popular Twitch streamers easily earn a bare minimum of $200,000 per year!
While any aspiring Maltese gamer might think it's absolutely impossible for them to make it big due to just how small our island is, the great thing about the internet is that geography rarely plays any part in these matters. Maltese streamer Neville "Neviilz" Caruana, for example, started off back in May 2014, and has since then gathered over 55,000 followers. "The main challenge that I had was probably people around me not believing in this passion of mine," Neville admitted. "I never really wanted a 'normal nine to five job' and I have an extreme passion for gaming, so streaming seemed to be the best option." And Neville's time and effort seem to have properly paid off, with this year marking his second anniversary since he was made Twitch Partner. In September 2015, Neville was donated $4,200 on a live stream from a viewer who commented "congratz on 10k subs".
Of course, for every one person making it big time, there are at least 10 others who are still struggling to gather a hefty enough number of followers, but if Neviilz's story is anything to go by, resilience and determination are key.
Currently standing at 267 followers, 20-year-old Beppe "captaingecoo" Grech has his eyes set on success, but it's not the high-life that's really on his mind. "I am one of about 10 people who stream from Malta, but I raise money for operations that I need personally," he said. "I used to work in a kitchen, but I've been feeling ill for the past year now, and I had to stop because of the pain." For Beppe, it's been constant medical appointments, meetings with doctors and trips to different hospitals, and making a living from streaming is not just a dream job, but a necessity that's come out of his health issue. "Not a lot of people watch and support the Maltese gaming community, and of course there's the general online hate and cyber bullying that you have to face on a daily basis. But that doesn't bother me; I believe hate brings views…" Beppe trails off. To add insult to injury, streaming is not a matter of switching on a camera and playing a couple of games. "You need good equipment to be able to offer quality videos. I spent at least €3,000 on my setup. And it's not just the money. Streaming for more than five hours every day can get very stressful and tiring." But when everything is said and done, being able to do what you love and getting recognized for it is a thoroughly rewarding experience.
Beppe Grech, and where the magic happens.
The most important thing seems to be to keep one foot firmly on the realistic side of matters, and not treat this as a ridiculously easy endeavour with instant gratification. "I've been streaming for the past three months, and since then I've made €100 from donations. I used all that money to improve the viewers' experience by improving the quality of my sound and video, and I gave away other donation money on streams as games," Beppe said. "Honestly it's about building the community."
"Don't go into streaming with the mindset of making money," Neville added. "Although you have to treat it like a job to make it viable, keep in mind that only 1% of streamers can viably do it on a full-time basis."

UK's NCSC says national security risk from equipment from China's ZTE cannot be mitigated | #TpromoCom #China #Telco #Spy | Britain's main cyber security agency said on Monday it had written to organizations in the UK's telecommunications sector warning them about using services or equipment from Chinese telecom equipment maker ZTE Corp.
"NCSC assess that the national security risks arising from the use of ZTE equipment or services within the context of the existing UK telecommunications infrastructure cannot be mitigated," said Ian Levy, the Technical Director of the National Cyber Security Center.
As the cold war with China heats up, it's obvious that there's no length to which either side will go to stay ahead of the other. And then again, I recall shipments of digital telco switches that were shipped to China from the United States in the 1990's that had "back doors" installed in the software. Tit for tat is the name of the game and we're going to see a whole lot more of this in the near future. –Al Colombo

Type, edit, scream, delete, type again. Repeat on end for almost five years. Send out query letters and emails, silently curse or scream into a pillow when you receive rejections. Repeat on end for almost five years. Decide you want to control your own fate and self publish with Infinity. Receive a package in the mail containing your book the next day. Laugh, cry, celebrate.
The End.
If only that was true.
What you thought was the ending was actually only the beginning. The past five years was the easy part. Now it's time to get your book into the hands of the masses. If the idea of sitting down and completing the novel that has lived inside you for as long as you could remember wasn't daunting enough, figuring out a way to make a tiny dent in the market place would drive a sane man back to the office and forget this silly notion of writing.
Here's the problem: you know how to write. That much is obvious. If you didn't, there is no way you could sit down and come up with an idea worthy enough to become a book. I'd be willing to bet you're pretty damn good at it as well. The problem is we are writers, not marketers. Of course I'm going on the premise that you don't work in marketing. If you do that defeats the majority of what I'm saying.
What do I know about marketing?
Absolutely nothing.
So what do I know?
The power of networking.
Whenever I try to envision the task ahead, I think of the movie "Castaway." For the majority of the movie, we watch Tom Hanks' character try to get off the island. The problem is escaping the powerful surf surrounding the beach. If he can get past that final crushing wave, he'll wind up floating in the Pacific Ocean. The Pacific is full of possibilities and hope, where some stranger can come by and scoop him up. In this lousy analogy, our book is Tom Hanks. Or maybe we're Tom Hanks. We're definitely not Wilson, I know that much. Regardless of who represents what, there is only one important question to be solved. How does our book get past our family and friends and out into the vast Pacific, where anyone can come by and scoop us up?
The first step is to build your raft.
This is the moment when you cash in those favors your friends, family, and co-workers owe you. Remember that long Saturday you spent moving your cousin into his five-story apartment without an elevator? How about that time your co-worker screwed up his part of the team project and you took the heat from your manager? What about those Friday nights babysitting your nieces and nephews so your sister and brother-in-law could have a night to themselves?
It's time for them to pay the piper.
All they have to do is buy and talk about your pride and joy. Perhaps leave your book on the coffee table the next time they have friends over. Or bring it with them on their commute to work, so fellow travelers and their co-workers can see your tome. Naturally they're going to tell everyone this is the best book ever. If they don't you might want to look into getting new friends.
All right, you built your raft. Your friends and family bought your book and have been telling everyone they know about it. It's time to set sail and reach the Pacific.
But how?
Can I tell you how fortunate we are to be writing at this point in time? Never before has a person had the ability to control his product. Never before has a person had the access to thousand of eyeballs across the globe…for free! Next time you sit down to type, think about sending a love note to Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey, because those two men have granted you powers that no author in the history of the world has ever had.
Of course I'm talking about social media.
Facebook and Twitter are a godsend. Those two sites have given you the opportunity, for free remember, to advertise your book to everyone you have ever met, and grant those people the opportunity to tell everyone they ever met. You want to talk about reaching the Pacific Ocean on your flimsy little raft, that's how you do it. There is no better feeling than seeing someone you never met "like" the fan page you created on Facebook. Actually I take that back, the only thing better than seeing someone you never met "like" your fan page is seeing one hundred people you never met "like" your fan page. That's just nirvana.
Of course I would be remiss if I didn't offer some words of caution. Don't be "that guy." We all know that guy, everyone knows him. This is the person who floods their social media with a thousand different posts, game requests and other mind numbing activities. If you post about your book every hour on the hour for a week straight you're going to find yourself either blocked or deleted. Not a good thing. The goal is to temper your enthusiasm just a tad. Maybe post about your book every couple of days. Learn how to parcel out the information.
Am I saying if you follow all of the above you're guaranteed to be the next big thing? Of course not. Will my simple words of advice however get you one step closer to reaching your goal? I'd like to think so. Then, after all the writing and marketing and everything else the scariest thought will pop inside your head, if it hasn't already,
"What if they don't like it?"
And that's a whole other post.
Tom Starita has two passions in life, writing and the New York Mets. Both have taken years off his life. He spent seven years teaching high school religion, six months as an office manager and is currently in sales. The only goal he ever had was to be published. His dream is to spend the rest of his life lounging in a pool with a book. Tom loves to laugh, loves to make people laugh and most of all loves his beautiful wife Kristina who he calls Lady. They currently reside in Weehawken, New Jersey with their dog, Tzatkiki.

Congratulations Authors!
As a fun way to wrap up our hard work in writing fiction, we held a special Author's Party in our class today. The students seemed to enjoy reading each other's stories and were very proud of their efforts.
There were stories of camping disasters, auditioning for a play, overcoming losing hair due to childhood cancer, playing baseball, soccer-playing dogs, dance competitions, and so much more! I enjoyed reading them all and hope you continue to look for new and interesting things to write about. You have so much to say!
Awesome work, Gr. 3s!

By Arjay L. Balinbin Reporter
LEADERS OF THE Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and the People's Republic of China have targeted to finish by next year the initial review of the Single Draft Negotiating Text of the Code of Conduct (CoC) in the disputed South China Sea that will serve as the basis of future CoC negotiations.
In a common statement delivered by President Rodrigo R. Duterte, as Country Coordinator for ASEAN-China dialogue relations, at a summit in Singapore on Wednesday, both parties said that "by 2019," they "look forward to the completion of the first reading of the Single Draft CoC Negotiating Text," which will have to go through at least three readings to create the final CoC.
The ASEAN and China, the President said, will "continue to maintain a conducive environment for future rounds of negotiations of the CoC."
On economic cooperation, he said: "We also look forward to the full liberalization of the ASEAN-China Air Transport Agreement (AC-ATA), which will not only facilitate greater people-to-people and economic linkages, but also complement MPAC (Master Plan on ASEAN Connectivity) 2025 and China's initiative to develop a 21st Century Maritime Silk Road."
Mr. Duterte said the ASEAN-China Strategic Partnership Vision 2030, which provides a strategic roadmap for ASEAN-China cooperation in the next 12 years, was set to be issued as of yesterday.
"It will complement the many ASEAN-China agreements made through the years and the Plan of Action to Implement the Joint Declaration on ASEAN-China Strategic Partnership for Peace and Prosperity (2016-2020). ASEAN-China sectoral bodies and mechanisms shall look into incorporating the Vision 2030 in their work plans," he said.
Prior to the ASEAN-China Summit, Mr. Duterte said in an ambush interview with reporters, as posted on the official Facebook page of the Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO), that he would push for the conclusion of the negotiations on the CoC.
"I am worried and I expressed it last night because we have a defense treaty, mutual defense treaty with the US," he added.
Because of the treaty, he also said, "I'd like to [tell] China that is why at all cost we must have the CoC. So you're there, you're in possession, you occupied it, then tell us what route we shall take and what kind of behavior you want."
On a related matter, Presidential Spokesperson & Chief Legal Counsel Salvador S. Panelo defended Mr. Duterte's decision to prohibit any country from stockpiling weapons in Palawan, saying this move reflects the President's "acumen and diplomacy" in dealing with the West Philippine Sea issue.
To recall, the President, in his speech in Palawan last Saturday, said that "as a matter of foreign policy," he "will not allow any country to stockpile any kind of weapon" in the province.
"I'm putting on notice everybody, the United States, China, Australia, 'yung interesado (everyone that is interested), that the Philippines is not ready for a war. We cannot afford it and we cannot manage it," he also said.
In his interview with ANC on Wednesday, political risk analyst Anders Corr said this move by the President will leave Palawan militarily vulnerable to the advantage of China.
Sought for comment, Mr. Panelo said in a statement: "The President's recent decision not to allow any country to stockpile arms and ammunition in Palawan reflects his acumen and diplomacy in dealing with the issue."
"The President not only steers clear of a potential warfare with China but anticipates any armed conflict between two powerful countries. Palawan, given its proximity to our giant neighbor, could be a flaming collateral damage if not an object of a strategic assault resulting to irreparable repercussions in the island. It is in the best interest of the nation that the President maintains constructive dialogues with China through a bilateral consultation mechanism (BCM)," he added.
