Betsy manages the overall operations of the Purr'n Pooch Foundation.
Her involvement in group organizations started at a young age from student council president in grammar school to being the philanthropic chair of her sorority in college. Her passion to help and give when needed brought her all over the world from picking coffee beans in Costa Rica to visiting refugee camps in Croatia. But it wasn't until after she received her Master's Degree in Holistic Health and spent six years as the head of research and product development for a small nutriceutical company that she finally went back to her roots.
Betsy was raised in a family that owns and operates luxury pet resorts. Awareness and social responsibilities of pet ownership is a priority in the Palazzo operations. Her involvement in the Purr'n Pooch Foundation for Animals is a natural outgrowth of her love of animals, work in group organizations and knowledge of the pet care industry.
Presently, Betsy is the Director of Human Resources for Purr'n Pooch Pet Resorts, which cares for thousands of pets each year. She is also a public speaker, certified pet care technician, reiki practitioner, licensed groomer and certified nutritional consultant.

Fowler Park, City of Geneva
Robert Fowler Memorial Park overlooks the junction of the Choctawhatchee and Pea rivers, and is home to the Constitution Oak, a Live Oak believed to be one of the oldest and largest trees in the state. The park incorporates some interesting habitats: several good spots that overlook one or both of the rivers, multiple large spreading Live Oaks draped with Spanish Moss, a small Cypress swamp, several acres of open mature woods, some thick second-growth, an open grassy field with a fencerow, and mowed lawns.
White Ibises and Cattle Egrets are often present in the meadows, along with Eastern Meadowlarks and Eastern Bluebirds. The lawns may attract foraging blackbird flocks, mostly in winter and spring. The Cypress swamp is a good place to look for herons, egrets, ibises, and perhaps Common Moorhens. Watch for nesting Prothonotary Warblers. Look for swallows over the river, and a broad array of resident and migrant songbirds in the Live Oaks and the forested acreage. The grassy field to the northern edge of the park has coveys of Northern Bobwhites, and Wild Turkeys roam the edges early and late in the day.
The old-field habitat is productive for winter sparrows, and in the warmer months, Indigo Buntings and Eastern Kingbirds are conspicuous here. Work the fencerow and edges for Palm Warblers in fall and spring. The trees near the river attract Yellow-billed Cuckoos, and there are numerous Eastern Wood Pewees and Great Crested Flycatchers in the open mature woods. The dense vegetation to the left (east) of the boat ramp functions as a wren tangle, with many species present much of the year.
Because of its key location at the junction of two rivers, Fowler Park could serve as a vibrant migrant trap in spring and fall. The presence of such varied habitats (riverbanks, cypress swamp, old field, open forest, dense second-growth, grassy lawn) in such a compact area allows it to stand apart as a unique birding destination. Its location within the city limits of Geneva means that it attracts a steady number of local visitors. Birders may wish to visit early or late in the day or on weekdays when the attendance here is low and the noise level and disturbance are at a minimum.The park is open daily and charges no admission. There are clean restrooms, picnic tables and a shelter, a boat ramp, an observation platform overlooking the cypress swamp, and a modern gazebo.
Directions: From the intersection of AL 52 and CR 4 (W Magnolia Avenue) in Geneva (Geneva County – all visitor services available), follow CR 4/W Magnolia SE for 2.1 miles. Turn right on S Academy Street and almost immediately, left on E Westville Avenue. This merges into the park entrance road.

I have thought many times about Mary, you know the mom of Jesus. We all think how great she was and how blessed she was and how chosen she was, but have you ever thought of what trials she faced? She was engaged, NOT married mind you in a period of time where being pregnant out of wedlock could wind you up STONED, like death by stoning! Her family did not receive any angelic visitation, so she endured their disappointment. She did not have an easy pregnancy traveling to visit Elizabeth and then on to Bethlehem with Joseph to be counted. She gave birth on a supposedly cold night in a stable. I'm all for homebirths, but even a stable is not the tidiest of places to go through labor and delivery.
But Mary chose to be used, she said "let it be unto me as the Lord has said". She did not complain that I know of. And for all her pain and suffering and willingness she was rewarded by God to be the first person to gaze into the beautiful baby eyes of Jesus. To be the one who pushed baby Jesus out while gazing into the night sky filled with the bright light of THE star.
And so I wonder and pray for God to use me too, but would I be willing to pay the price Mary paid? Would I be willing to walk that road alone knowing I was doing God's will while the rest of the world talked behind my back?
I love the Christmas story, I love all the people in it and the ending and just every single part of it, but Mary, she registers with me, she makes me think, she inspires me to say "may it be unto me Lord as you will"
Merry Christmas!

This tutorial will assist you in setting up the Zclassic Electrum Wallet.
Step 1 - Visit the Zclassic Website
The first step for installing the wallet is downloading the wallet. The Electrum wallet is available for Windows, Mac and Linux and can be found at the Zclassic website:
Step 2 - Download the wallet
You will then be forwarded to our Github, where you will find the latest versions. At the time of writing, the latest version is 1.0.4.
Simply click the link for the platform you are using to download the wallet.
.dmg = Mac
.zip = Windows
.egg = Linux
For this tutorial, we are using the Mac wallet as example. Installation instructions for Window and Linux may slightly vary.
Step 3 - Start with Installing the Wallet
After downloading the wallet and clicking the icon, you may be prompted with a message similar to the one displayed below.
This is a message which is brought up when apps are being downloaded which are not on the App Store. To go ahead, you may right-click (or control-click) the app and press Open. You will then be able to go ahead with the installation.
Step 4 - Choose how your wallet will connect
This step defines the server that Electrum will connect to. For beginning users, we recommend you to go with Auto Connect, as it will automatically connect to the best available server.
Step 5 - Create a name for your wallet
This step defines the name that your wallet will have. For the purpose of this tutorial, we will go with the default setting: default_wallet.
Step 6 - Choose the type of wallet
For this tutorial, we are setting up a Standard Wallet.
Step 7 - Choose if you want to create a new seed or want to import existing keys.
We are creating a new seed, which means that we are setting up a new wallet with new passwords seeds and keys.
Step 8 - Write down your seed
You will then be presented with you seed. This is a unique combination of 12 words which grants access to your wallet. It is absolutely vital that you keep this information private: DO NOT SHARE THIS SEED.
We recommend you to write this on a piece of paper instead of storing it electronically. Without this seed, you may not be able to access your wallet.
PS: No worries, the seed which is displayed here is from an unused and empty wallet, purely set up for the purposes of this tutorial.
Step 9 - Confirm your seed
In the next step, write down your seed to confirm.
Step 10 - Choose a password
This step is not fully obligatory, as you are technically also able to use your seed to access your wallet. However, we strongly recommend our users to set up a password which will be used to access your wallet.
In addition, we recommend you to encrypt the wallet file.
Congratulations, you have now set up your Zclassic Wallet!

For well over 200 years anvils have been made at Mousehole Forge, which for two centuries, at least, was the only works of its kind in the world.

Covered are hammers such as Little Gient, Bradley, Kerrihard, Fairbanks and many more. The book is profusely illustrated, including carefully refined patent drawings to clarify the important developments involved with each machine. This book arose from the conviction that knowledge about techniques and tools is an important component of craftsmanship. It was inspired by an extraordinary transformation: machines which had served blacksmith and manufacturers in a humble and strictly functional manner and are today being used as expressive tools in the hands of artists! This class of machine has been largely ignored by historians of technlogy, and many of the companies which built power hammers are virtually forgotten in the cities and towns in which they once prospered. In gathering the threads of this story, a fascinating picture has emerged.

Why do we do what we do?
Exposure to art as a child makes us more compassionate adults. Preparing future generations of leaders requires a holistic approach to education, and the arts are an important component.
Experiencing an artistic performance together diminishes socio-economic barriers, encourages original thought and enhances critical thinking and problem solving skills. Arts experiences help level the educational playing field.
Artistic experiences should not be optional when it comes to children's education. When art is not included in education, generations of adults will not appreciate, visit, support or understand the positive influence that the arts have on our overall well-being.

46 percent of Americans had no idea that April, every year, is celebrated as Autism Awareness Month, leading to overarching misconceptions about the disorder
NEW YORK – Autism affects one out of every 68 children, according to the CDC, however, according to new research from Leka, a smart robotic toy for kids with Autism, our population is surprisingly unaware of the day-to-day challenges that people with Autism face on a continual basis. In honor of Autism Awareness Month this April, Leka looked to uncover the missing pieces between Americans' awareness and perceptions of the disorder to better understand how they view Autism in general given its prevalence in society today.
The study, conducted with third party research firm YouGov, revealed not only the glaring gap of awareness, but also a lack of understanding and general misconceptions about people with Autism.
The Autism Awareness Gap and Misconceptions
According to Leka's research, 75 percent of Americans claim that they do not know someone close to them with Autism, a surprising finding given the prevalence of Autism in children. In addition, nearly half of Americans (46%) had no idea that April is celebrated as Autism Awareness Month – moreover, even among those who are close to an individual with Autism, a quarter (25%) were not aware.
The data clearly shows a lack of awareness and first-hand knowledge of Autism and those who live with the disorder. This awareness gap results in general misconceptions about those living with the disorder:
- Shockingly, only 62 percent of Americans think people with Autism are capable of living independently
- Further proving general misunderstandings of the learning and social challenges associated with Autism, only 62 percent believe people with Autism are productive members of society
- Even more alarming, just over half of Americans (53%) think it's acceptable for people with Autism to get married, with only a third (37%) of Americans think people with Autism can make great parents
- Less than half (48%) think people with Autism can excel in an office environment
The Silver Lining
While there is clearly dire need for a new approach to awareness campaigns around Autism to build better education programs and incite action and acceptance, there is an upswing to the data. While more work needs to be done to improve general perception and understanding of those with Autism, Americans largely agree that there has to be accessible medical care and programs.
In a time where healthcare reform is a hot political topic, two-thirds of Americans (66%) think health insurance companies should cover all expenses relating to therapy and treatment for individuals with Autism as a federal mandate. Inversely, looking at the situation today only 28 percent of Americans think today's available options for services and treatment are deemed accessible (covered by health insurance)—a shocking revelation considering that the average cost for Autism treatment over the course of an American's lifetime is over $2 million.
"With the prevalence of Autism in America, and the world, it's essential that we are teaching our children, friends and family the important of advocacy and acceptance of people with Autism," said Ladislas de Toldi, CEO and cofounder at Leka. "Although Autism Awareness Month is a great time to promote education for the 3.5 million Americans currently living with Autism, the disorder does not only exist during the month of April—and the data from our report shows that more work needs to be done to increase overall acceptance and understanding of Autism in society today."
Research Methodology
Leka commissioned YouGov PLC – a third party, professional research and consulting organization—to poll the views of a representative sample of 1,113 American adults. Fieldwork was undertaken between April 6th and 7th, 2017. The survey was carried out online, and was weighted to be representative of all US adults (aged 18+).

An obviously corrupt ICE agent bust through the door of a motel room dragging out the inhabitants then lining them up on their knees and cuffing them. The motel owner Crystal (Nicki Micheaux) confronts the agent only to receive a gun in her face. The illegals are taken to the basement of a Taco shop where they are hosed down and prepped for organ harvesting. All except a young girl who is thrown in a room to be part of Teddy Bear's (Mark Burnham) prostitution ring.
Monsters the first titled sequence introduces El Monstruo (Ricardo Adam Zarate) a Luchador mask wearing heavy for Teddy Bear who married to Teddy's pregnant daughter Kaylee (Santana Dempsey). El Monstruo gives an impassioned speech about his family's tradition how he's a runt that could not live up to his fathers and ancestors stature until he found his rage. El Monstruo speech is directed to the daughter of a thug that owes Teddy money. The Thug returns won't pay leading to a confrontation where we first see the results of an El Monstruo fit of rage.
In the next chapter Fiends the relationship between Teddy, Crystal and Kaylee is clarified. Crystal and her Husband Dan (King Orba) were such drug fiends that they sold their daughter to Teddy for money to feed their habits. Crystal also has a habit of buying items that are never opened but sit in boxes as clutter filling up their room at the motel and their mini-van.
Chapter 3 Thugs introduces Teddy's embezzling accountant Keith (Shanye Ogbonna) picking up his childhood friend Randy (Jon Oswald) from prison. Randy who's a mixture of Eminem, Vanilla Ice and Snowhas a large swastika tattooed on his face forced by the Arian nation when he was inside. This vignette provides the most humour as Randy tries to navigate through the ethnic neighbourhoods of L.A. with the universally hated symbol on his face not to mention he is being chauffeured around by his black friend. The pair loose out on a confrontation with Teddy compelled to kidnap pregnant Kaylee who's to provide a kidney for Dan.
All of the characters come together in the final section Criminals. Unexpected connections are established while long overdue ones are made with Nicki's Micheaux's Crystal leading the cast as she has the largest scope involvement with the other charters in the film. Mark Burnham is very strong as the menacing but reasonable Teddy while Richardo Adam Zarate blackout raging Luchador steals scenes as the sound cuts when his rage scream builds leading to an aftermath of violent deaths and carnage.
Lowlife is a welcomed new entry into the tradition of non-linear violent thrillers featuring the 99%. The violence is harsh, the players morals questionable but a strong script, rich visuals and killer score put the film right in the sweet spot of the genre. It's a gripping feature from first time director Ryan Prows that audience will want to see then wait with anticipation for is next project.
**** Out of 4.

Navajo White is an orangish white color, or pastel yellow orange, and derives its name from its similarity to the background color of the Navajo Nation flag. The name "Navajo White" is usually only used when referring to paint. As the name indicates, the color is often considered a shade of white, even though it is more properly categorized as a yellow.
From the 1970s to the 1990s it was, along with the color bone, one of the standard interior paint colors used in many tract homes in the United States and especially apartment complexes as, like the color bone, it does not easily show stains from cigarette smoke or fingerprints. In recent years it has lost favor to other shades of off-white, grey, and pastel colors.
In 1989, the color "Navajo white" was included in the X11 color list.[2] As such, it became and continues to be (2019) part of the web colors.

On a cold night in 1999, I rang in the new millenium drinking champagne in a hot tub with friends in Quebec City. Fast forward 10 years later and my drink of choice tonight will be a near beer with the in-laws. As for the hot tub,-they are a no-no in my world these days.
Here we are, December 31st, 2009. I almost cannot believe that an entire decade has gone by (my entire 20's... GULP). At the same time, when I think back to all that I have accomplished since "Y2K" it feels much longer. I had some of the greatest years of my life. I finished university and college, met friends who will be with me forever and attended some parties that will be talked about until I am old and grey. I travelled to Africa, Asia, Europe and Canada, met and married my amazing husband, bought my very first house, got my first full time job, my second one, 3rd one and got my very own puppy.
My 20's have been good. Actually, they have been great.
2009 has been a tough year. It was like that 8th grade math teacher who taught you so much but you still didn't really like him. This year kept me in the dark for so long and then told me to wait and wait some more (Not the easiest of tasks for an impatient person).
Tomorrow I start my suprefact injections. If all goes well, by this time next month, I will have 1 or 2 little embyros growing inside me. For this reason, I can't help but be filled with an extraordinary sense of optimism on the eve of this new decade. I know some infertility vets don't like to make promises to themselves like "I will get pregnant in 2010!" so I will just say that I hope 2010 is going to be a good year. I have learned so much about myself in this past year and past decade that I am ready to face whatever challenge comes my way. Deep down in my heart I do believe that I will get pregnant this year. Hope-it's what keeps me going.

BuildNext – A Disruptive Initiative in the Construction Sector
Thiruvananthapuram: For the common man, who belongs to the middle or upper-middle class or non-resident Keralite category, one of the biggest dreams in life is to build a house. But it is a challenging task, both financially and physically. But here is good news for them. A Thiruvananthapuram-based startup, BuildNext (www.buildnext.in), launched by a group of IIT and IIM graduates, is on a mission to revolutionise the construction sector by creating a virtual commercial platform for purchasing materials required for building construction.
BuildNext.in is a multi-channel building material procurement platform for construction professionals and customers. The web-based user interface of BuildNext enables customers to prepare their building budget and make right purchase decisions by staying within the budget limit.
"Proprietary VR technology enables customers to walk inside their future home and select products by actually trying them out in their home. BuildNext Experience Centres will be available at major locations to help customers utilise our technology solutions through the course of their building construction. Experience Centres are currently live in Kochi and Kozhikode, and will soon come up in Manjeri, Thiruvananthapuram and Palakkad," says Gopikrishnan V, Founder-Director, BuildNext.
Finaz Naha, who earlier worked with Amazon, is the Co-founder Director of BuildNext. Both Gopikrishnan and Finaz were batch mates at Indian Institute of Management Bangalore. Gopikrishnan is also a BArch graduate from IIT Kharagpur. The duo spent years discussing the idea with industry experts before launching the technology company of building materials supply chain in October 2015 with angel investments. So far, the company has received many rounds of funding.
BuildNext has several tie-ups with manufacturers and distributors of building materials as well as logistic partners, to provide a hassle-free and rewarding purchase experience in the sector. The firm claims to minimize marketing and inventory holding costs, helping manufacturers target their customers at a much lower cost.
"It is creating a win-win situation for manufacturers and customers. We have been able to offer conveniences like flexible payment terms to businesses through our model to align ourselves perfectly with market requirements. Our model has the best of a pure online and a pure offline channel put together, making us the best building material provider available for the businesses in the sector as well as customers," says Gopikrishnan.
The Unique Selling Proposition (USP) of the company is its technology. The web portal offers a wide range of building materials to choose from. The selection of materials through the portal is given a new dimension by incorporating Virtual Reality (VR) purchase experience. Meanwhile, the customer who logs on to the portal can also make sure that she or he will not overshoot the budget as the website helps set a budget limit.
However, one of the biggest challenges for the tech company is to stay relevant in the market and successfully penetrate it. But here is where the brains behind BuildNext's virtual platform applied some practical thinking.
"A pure e-commerce model is not enough because quite a few of the materials require consultation and a visual selection process. We have therefore adopted an online-offline model and hence, we are setting up experience centres in major towns to enable customers to select products through our virtual reality (VR)-enabled process," says the founder-director of BuildNext.
One may think how the company based partially on an online platform could connect with market players who generally prefer conventional methods of trading. It is said that building contractors often benefit in terms of discounts from a trader when he or she remains loyal.
However, BuildNext thinks that such benefits in the real world are ''partially a myth". Gopikrishnan says that benefits may come in only as "flexibility" in terms of payments and deliveries. "Businesses are much more loyal to their suppliers than customers due to high shifting costs," he says.
There are 32 employees and five interns working at the main offices of BuildNext. Gopikrishnan hopes to set up more experience centres of the company in the State and neighbouring states, so as to remain customer oriented.

CVLT Nation Captures: KRALLICE,PYRRHON + More
Sometimes, you've just got to go to the show. Doesn't matter how cozy your couch is, how stocked your fridge or how early your job interview is the next day. A gig is a gig is a gig and when you greet death he's not going to ask you if you had enough naps or snacks or blew a career opportunity because you were too shaky too shave and your tinnitus is pretty much officially out of hand so half the conversation sounded like a broken radiator and so OF COURSE you talked too loud and swore too freely and fuck them if they don't want to hire the real you.
Death will want to know if you took every opportunity you could to get off your ass and rage.
AEVITERNE roughly translates into "ETERNAL" (I think) though the phrase aeviternal seems much more common if theological in nature and pertains to the mid-point between time and eternity? The internet is a confounding treasure. AEVITERNE play death metal with a lockjawed ferocity that gives aspiring graphic designers wet dreams. This band grew out of GATH ŠMÂNÊ. Still inexorable.
All photos & Text by Charles Nickles
MORE DEATH! but this time with a bit of a LIHC bent. Heady and grueling and just a little bit jazz nerd. I think some of the dudes from Blame God are here fucking shit up in the pit. They're considerate of other people's persons though and I appreciate that. It's way too early in the bill to get killed.
Holy FUCK, though! Pyrrhon. PYRRHON! I don't think they insist on capitalizing the entirety of their name but they should because these dudes are on some serious taking tiger mountain by lunacy shit with the noise and the fuckfright and the cruelist anarchy. THIS is the metal I need. This is the bad scene. At first I was thinking Full of Hell, sunstroked in Sing Sing but now I'm thinking Racebannon in a knife fight with a grizzly except the grizzly's hands are all knives and God is dead and your mom's your sister.
Whoever thought I would look to Krallice for some peace and restitution but here we are and there they go off on their Odyssean death-first, black lung freakout. You know, I'm never really sure whether or not I like this band. Sometimes, they stink so hard of prog I want to light myself on fire and run out into the night screaming "NEIL PEART, DUDE! NEAL PEART!" Other times, they welcome me to the apex of a beatific madness with relentless ability to right the nightmare of being with melodious scorn.

Ongoing Acknowledgements
The Xenogears: Prelude to Destruction series has been inspired by a LOT of different works as time goes by... I suppose everyone has influences, but sometimes I make direct connections. I'd like to recognize them here, if I may.
Oh, and before I begin, let me just say that this list is NOT yet complete... so if there's something obvious I'm not acknowledging, don't tell me yet. Give me a few weeks to work on this section more first. Now then, in order of importance... let us continue.
1. Obviously, I have to give props to Square for creating the Xenogears and Chrono Trigger games... without which this fic could have never been born. While I'm at it, I'd like to thank them for not explaining enough things in Xenogears to WARRANT this look at events, because I've certainly never been prouder of anything I've done than I am this work.
2. Now for the second most obvious acknowledgement: Mox Jet. I have to give MAD PROPS (and excuse my horrible, horrible slang stuff; I'm too tired to think of better things to give people) to him, for his permission to use stuff from his series; he's been very cool about everything. Geez... everything from my use of the Finori (which I also have to give Nanaki, one of my favorite authors, credit for), to TAGs, to the many, MANY references I've made to the LEA have been all thanks to his permission. So... thanks, man!! Much appreciated, and it's made my fic all the richer.
3. Now... this reference doesn't start until Chapter 17, but it'll be a big part of the series, I imagine. The Slayers anime series deserves a lot of credit for the vast majority of the spells I use now. Actually, while I'm saying that, let me just thank Slayers Universe 4.1 for having a complete listing of said spells. That was incredibly cool, and instantly upped the quality of my fight scenes (I think, anyway) somewhat.
4. Let me just say that FF IX was most cool... a LOT better than VIII, to say the least. The main reason I'm citing it here is because of the lines I drew between its Trance ability, and the Id that played such a dominant role in Xenogears. Most cool how that worked.
5. One more, boys. This one's new, though I should've mentioned it a long time. Like Nanaki before me, I have a tendency to borrow names for characters, places and things from the Magic: The Gathering series of cards and books. I can't help it, and these things typically bear no resemblance to their M: TG counterparts (with the exception of the Avenger robots early in the fic, which are basically Urza's own take on the Su-Chi robots of The Brothers' War), but the names in M: TG are some of the coolest ones out there. Anyway.

DOST to grant scholarship to students, S&T professionals in MarawiFriday, February 02, 2018 12:54 AM Views : 727Allan Mauro V. Marfal, DOST-STII
More than 200 students and S&T professionals displaced during the five-month Marawi siege will now see a brighter future as the Department of Science and Technology- Science Education Institute (DOST-SEI) has committed scholarship grants in support of the rehabilitation efforts in Marawi City.
The scholarship grant was recently formalized through the project "DOST-SEI Bangon Marawi Program on Science and Technology Human Resources Development."
In the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between DOST-SEI and Mindanao State University (MSU) System, DOST-SEI will provide scholarship grants to 225 selected undergraduate students in MSU Marawi City campus. The grantees, currently taking up Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) courses, will receive P10,000 per semester for school tuition fees; P6,000 monthly allowance; and P10,000 book allowance per year.
The MOA was signed on 26 January 2018 at the MSU main campus in Marawi City.
Moreover, DOST-SEI will also facilitate the provision of financial assistance to selected S&T professionals in Marawi City pursuing higher studies in science and engineering in any of the DOST-accredited universities. Twenty slots will be allotted to full-time graduate students who will receive P25,000 monthly allowance; P10,000 book allowance per year; and P200,000.00 research grant assistance, plus the amount of the actual tuition fees of their chosen universities.
Meanwhile, 10 slots will be allotted to full-time PhD scholars who will receive P33,000 monthly allowance; P10,000 book allowance per year; and P475,000 research assistance, plus the amount of the actual tuition fees of their chosen universities.
"With the heightened need to help rebuild Marawi City and the greater Mindanao area, DOST-SEI is here to open up opportunities for our children to continue their tertiary studies in STEM and achieve a future that is far removed from the effects of the war," said DOST Secretary Fortunato T. de la Peńa.
The five-month siege in Marawi City brought massive damages to many establishments including educational institutions.
Sec. de la Peńa added that granting S&T scholarship is one strategy that will surely help restore and rehabilitate Marawi's human and social infrastructures, especially our much-needed human resources in the science and technology sector.
Meanwhile, Dr. Josette T. Biyo, director of DOST-SEI, shared that many consultative meetings were held in recent months to discuss how DOST-SEI could aid in rehabilitation efforts in Marawi City.
"This program will enable displaced students and S&T professionals to get back up on their feet and be instrumental in restoring the old beauty of Marawi City," said Dr. Biyo.
She also said that accelerating S&T human resources development in Marawi City could provide long-term benefits for every Maranao. In years to come, many of these scholars could be scientists, engineers, and captain of the industries who would be at the forefront of initiating innovation and projects that could bring inclusive development to Marawi City, she told.
MSU President Dr. Habib W. Macaayong, affirming Dr. Biyo, said that producing highly-skilled professionals, particularly in the field of science and technology, could play an integral part to the sustainable development of an area like Marawi City.
"We have always mentioned how research and development in the field of science and technology could provide every Filipino a better living condition, and on the top of that, we need equipped individuals who would help and lead us to achieve our aspirations," said Macaayong.
Dr. Biyo shared that a grantee should maintain a passing grade in all academic subjects every semester until completion of his/her course while for graduate students, a scholar shall maintain a general weighted average set by the university and DOST-SEI.
