George Brennan sentenced over secret photos of girls
A 61-year-old man who secretly took pictures of schoolgirls in a supermarket cafe has been given a two-year community payback order.
George Brennan photographed the teenagers with a digital camera from his table in Morrisons, Cambuslang.
He pleaded guilty to breaching the peace by covertly taking pictures of teenage girls without their consent.
At Glasgow Sheriff Court, Brennan was also placed on the sex offenders' register for two years.
Serious offence
The court heard how Brennan, from nearby Rutherglen, photographed the teenagers between the area of their knees and neck.
He was caught when others in the cafe spotted him pressing the button on the camera when a youngster walked past.
He later told police he was practising using the zoom function and was unaware he had taken photos.
Passing sentence Sheriff Kenneth Mitchell said: "Mr Brennan, this offence is serious enough to warrant the imposition of a community payback order."
As part of the order, he must also carry out 75 hours of unpaid work in the community and attend a sex offenders group.

He believed that there had existed then a most ancient and universal religion from which all later creeds and doctrines sprang." His research lasted over 20 years.

Black gospel music in one way or another created a great deal of the blues, jazz and rock and roll. Born on the plantations of the South, it merged the Christian hymns of the slave owners with rhythms from Africa and created a new musical form not heard before but reflected everywhere today, even in hip-hop. "Rejoice and Shout" is a consistently entertaining documentary bringing together a remarkable variety of surviving performances on films and records, going back to circa 1900.
Where some of these films came from and how they were preserved isn't a question the film answers, but without them we couldn't see rare 1902 footage of the Dinwiddie Colored Quartet, not the first gospel singers but the first to be filmed. We also see joyous work by the Dixie Hummingbirds, the Staple Singers, the Swan Silvertones, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Mahalia Jackson and an onstage duel between the Blind Boys of Alabama and the Five Blind Boys of Mississippi.
Smokey Robinson, one of the sources interviewed by Don McGlynn for his film, links the music to his own religious beliefs, which of course is appropriate, but some of the singers, Rosetta Tharpe in particular, seem drawn toward more secular venues. There's even the suggestion that Mahalia Jackson might have liked to do more show tunes and pop music, but was kept in line by her churchgoing mother.
Mavis Staples, whose father links back to the earliest days of gospel, is a warm presence throughout the film, calling on personal memories of many of the artists. Other experts such as Anthony Heilbut, Bill Carpenter, Ira Tucker Jr. and Darrel Petties have a wealth of information, connections and memories. And "Rejoice and Shout" doesn't show snippets of old performances, but complete songs, so we get a more complete idea of the talents.
My own knowledge of gospel music is limited mostly to what I learned through the (much better) documenatry "Say Amen, Somebody," which told the stories of Thomas A. Dorsey, Willie Mae Ford Smith and others. Dorsey wrote an astonishing number of gospel standards ("Precious Lord, Take My Hand" among them), but is only mentioned in passing here. I suppose the footage from "Say Amen, Somebody" wasn't available to McGlynn. Indeed his own footage here is limited to his talking head interviews; all the performance footage is archival. Still, this is an engaging film filled with love for the music.
Here is my review of "Say Amen, Somebody."

Animation Council takes 'leap of faith', dares local animators to create more original contentPosted By: The Mail Man - Thursday, November 09, 2017
The Animation Council of the Philippines, Inc. (ACPI) sets the stage again this November for the 11th year of Animahenasyon, the leading animation conference and festival in the country.
Themed "Leap of Faith", the 2017 edition of Animahenasyon marks a start of another decade for the festival. Since its inception in 2006, Animahenasyon has become a venue for celebrating the skills and talent of Filipinos in animation and storytelling.
"We have always believed in the creative talent and ingenuity of Filipinos. And our goal as an organization is to push the limits of our artists and animators for them to create and innovate more." said ACPI President Juan Miguel del Rosario.
The festival will start with a conference on November 11 in Samsung Hall, SM Aura, followed by screenings and awarding of Filipino animated short films on November 17-18 at the Cultural Center of of the Philippines.
Shaping the future of Philippine animation
A platform for driving conversations about emerging trends, challenges, and opportunities in the global and local animation scene, Animahenasyon will gather more than 2500 participants from the academe, local animation studios, global players, and even independent artists and animators.
The conference topics for this year ranges from new technologies such as virtual reality to developing company cultures fit for the creative millennial.
"Every year, we try our best to bring to the country Filipino artists who are thriving abroad to share their experiences and new techniques that could both educate and inspire our students and professionals here." shared Marlyn Montano, Ways and Means Director of Animahenasyon.
Del Rosario added that ACPI envisions to create more opportunities here in the Philippines for animation graduates and professionals.
Wanted: original content
Aside from the conference, Animahenasyon also annually holds a competition for original and Filipino-made animations.
Receiving almost 100 entries this year, ACPI in partnership with the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) will recognize outstanding entries at the 2017 ICT Creative Awards on November 17.
Rikki Orellana, Animahenasyon Festival Director, said they are happy to see the improvements in the the entries that they receive every year.
With the continued support of government agencies - Department of Information and Communications Technology, Cultural Center of the Philippines, and the Department of Trade and Industry, ACPI said they are confident the increasing growth and creativity of the animation industry will continue.
International support and inspiration
The festival will also include screenings of animated feature films from Japan, Austria and France. Through these screenings, they aim to expose, inspire, and create impact on our artists when it comes to global trends and international standards in animation.
Makoto Shinkai's Kimi No Nawa (Your Name), a globally acclaimed Japanese animated film, is going to be screened at the Little Theater of the Cultural Center of the Philippines.
Funded and supported by the Japan Foundation Manila, the film is expected to give anime fanatics a visual feast.
The French Embassy in the Philippines is another longtime supporter of the animation sector. French animated films titled Aya of Yop City, The Girl Without Hands, and My Mommy Is in America and She Met Buffalo Bill will also be screened during Animahenasyon.
French Embassy Chargé d'Affaires, Laurent Legodec said 2017 marks as a very special year, marking the 70th year anniversary of Franco-Philippine diplomatic relations. "The French Embassy has been supporting the Animation Council of the Philippines from the beginning, and the very first Philippine animation festival was held following your very first visit to Annecy, and it featured Filipino and French animated films side-by-side." said Monsieur Legodec.
ACPI brought the Philippine flag to two international festivals in France this year: the Animation Film Festival and Market in Annecy, and in MIPCOM or International Market of Communications Programmes in Cannes.
With this continuing international trade missions, Mr. Legodec added that "Philippine animation shall be promoted to international markets and find commercial and economic partners in France, Europe and the rest of the world".
Another first in Philippine history, Animahenasyon is also composed of a forum on Women in Animation. According to Orellana, they aim to reiterate the importance and skills of Pinays in a more or less male-dominated animation industry. The Austrian Embassy in the Philippines is bringing to us one of the finest female animators in Austria, Ms. Katharina Petsche where she will bring Turbulent Times & Familiar Places: Tricky Women Short Animations.
Animahenasyon expects to support the business growth forecasted the result in the recently concluded Roadmap for the IT-BPM made by Frost and Sullivan. Understanding the needs for domestic and international promotions will have a great significance to where the Philippine Animation Industry will lead in the next five years. Outsourcing is still the driver of growth of the industry but with the increasing demand in original content it will change how we look at the Philippine Animation Industry.
"We really hope that our local artists would step up further and produce more original content that could compete globally and could resonate with the global audience." added Montano.
For more information on the full schedule of the festival and how you could join, kindly visit www.animahenasyon.com or email Micah Roncillo at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Local Firm Invests in Mixed Ecozone for Oriental MindoroPosted By: The Mail Man - Wednesday, November 08, 2017
Local Firm Invests in Mixed Ecozone for Oriental Mindoro.
Dedicates park to every aspiring Mindoreno towards a Future-Ready Mindoro
Calapan City, Oriental Mindoro, November 6, 2017– A big local developer in Calapan, Oriental Mindoro, Sotera Development Group (SDG) broke ground recently to mark the start of the construction for Sotera San Antonio at Calapan City, Oriental Mindoro last October 18, 2017. The Development will center around a green park covering some 5,000 square meters. Leading the groundbreaking was Chairman Mel Agudo with Governor Alfonso Umali, Jr. with Cong. Reynaldo Umali and Mayor Arnan Panaligan in attendance, with representatives from academe, DOST, DTI, NEDA, and the community.
"…By investing in Mindoro's Brightest Gold, its People. SDG dedicates this park to every aspiring Mindoreno towards building a Future-Ready Mindoro." Chairman Agudo said. "The Bayanihan spirit of cooperation is a must for us all to succeed for greater heights…Together let us open the eyes of the world to Mindoro and Mindoro to golden opportunities" This project represents a unique venture and a culmination of two years of planning to create a development which will serve as an anchor for job creation, innovative education programs, and neighborhood activities for the residents of Calapan City and the entire Oriental Mindoro province. Recognizing the need to address the significant challenges of Oriental Mindoro, cradling the gem of the park, Sotera President Agudo said the project will host new office and commercial space that will cater to, but not limited to the incubation of new technology-driven industries such as the IT-BPM industry, related education initiatives, and ICT enabled businesses. SDG is known for its visionary investments in the field of technology and real estate development.
Sotera is set to operate by 2019. Last year, the local governments of Calapan and Oriental Mindoro showed their full support to the creation of a province-wide ICT council to serve as a platform for collaboration with industry, academe, and government. Agudo is thankful for this initiative and assures his full support to the direction of the council, especially the vision of making Oriental Mindoro a destination of choice for ICT industries.

Unlike past generation wireless technologies, 5G focuses on having a more advanced level fo communications. Instead of the person-to-person communication, this is about extending the communication and transmitting data and communication via person to person, machine to machine and machine to human.
"What's big about 5G is extending a machine-to-machine and human-to-machine world. Think about the smart factor, a self-driving car. So that's one thing that a 5G network wants to enable," Dr. Wong said. "Fifth-generation technology changes the paradigm. It adds two main thing – enhanced mobile broadband and Internet of Things (IoT)," Dr. Wong said.
Currently, Dr. Wong is the Senior Group Manager of the Advanced Wireless Research Group of National Instruments where he heads the company's 3GPP and 802.11 wireless standards strategy and platforms for wireless system design, simulation, prototyping, and implementation.
5G operates in the frequency range from 3 GHz up to 30 to 40 GHz. When it comes to the bandwidth of such technology, it ranges from 200 MHz up to 800 MHz. Whereas Phase 1 is to be finished by December 2017.
"At NI, we've been working with wireless research for quite a while. We want to further wireless research to prototyping. We work with a lot of academic and industry institutions. It will really be a great opportunity for UP and DOST-ASTI to be part of this, of us, working together on this wireless research", Dr. Wong said.
Two technologies that play major roles as 5G that leads to a milestone are the NI's Massive Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) and Millimeter Wave (mm Wave).
"The mmWave is pushing up the frequency to really go up beyond the base stations sites. It goes from 24 all the way up to potentially 70, 80, or even 90 GHz, and use that for mobile communications. That's something totally new for mobile industries," Dr. Wong explained.
5G technology is expected to be implemented by the year 2020.

Protecting Filipino Data (Part 1)Posted By: The Mail Man - Monday, November 06, 2017
In 2014, it was estimated that 2.5 quintillion bytes of data were created every day worldwide. In the Philippine2, 42.1 million are on Facebook and 13 million on Twitter. This, along with the Gross IT Spending of US$4.4 Billion in 2016 is evidence of the growing digital economy and increase of international trade in data.
Aside from that, many Filipinos are already digitally "stamped" since most of the everyday transactions in government and private institutions that require collection and storage of data and information from business permit applications to hospital and doctor's appointments.
The nature and volume of the data collected and stored require privacy policies and even more strict security procedures and systems.
The Congress of the Philippines passed Republic act 10173 or otherwise known as the Data Privacy Act (DPA) of 2012. By September 9, 2016, the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) were put into effect. This also established the National Privacy Commission (NPC) that will implement the DPA.
The DPA aims to make public institutions and agencies and private companies and corporations responsible for the data that they collect and store. It is not only restricted to storage but also about the way the data collected from individuals and the public is used and even disposed of.
The collection of data from the public must be transparent and legal. The public must be informed where and how the information they divulge will be used and what are its intentions.
Any improper use of such information and improper disposal of collected and stored information will result in fines of up to Php5.0 million and imprisonment for a maximum of 7 years.
It is acknowledged that compromise of data or breach in data storage is happening and those industry experts have called for new ways of fighting such data breaches and it is based on Three New Realities. These are :
1. There must be a New Perimeter safeguarded by passwords and credentials.
2. Always Assume that there is a Breach. It is approaching the system as if there is a breach and the defense is the "Prevent" Approach.
3. 80% of the breach is due to the use of non-approved software and apps in the workplace.
This is to acknowledge that today, there are many attack vectors and protection must be done on several layers.
Also, it is important to note that the cost of systems breach is at 2.6 million US Dollars daily. It not only disrupts service but also damages the reputations of the institution, companies, and corporations who are the victims of such breaches.
In protecting data and information the following are needed.
1. Protect
2. Detect
3. Respond
4. Expertise
5. Resources
6. Time.
The above-mentioned requirements will be further added into since data protection against data breach is a continuing evolution.

|Synergy88, a member of the Animation Council of the Philippines, helped craft some of the essential aspects of The Coalition and Microsoft Studios' "Gears of War 4." (Photo: Gears of War – Official Site, www.gearsofwar.com)
Talented Filipinos have been making their mark in the international animation scene for many years now. Hollywood has been introduced to the artistic minds of Ronnie del Carmen, co-director of Pixar and Disney's hit 2015 flick, "Inside Out;" Josie Trinidad, co-head of story of Disney's "Zootopia; Armand Serrano, visual development artist for "Tarzan," "Lilo and Stitch," "Hotel Transylvania," and Maricel Pagulayan, visual effects producer of "Spider-Man: Homecoming," "Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation," "The Smurfs," and "Avatar," among others.
These individuals are proof that Filipinos are very competitive and can succeed in the global animation industry, which is worth US$244 billion in 2015 with the United States, Canada, Japan, France, Britain, and Germany as the leading animation markets.
North American and European film and television program producers outsource computer animation to Asian countries. Western studios first built and maintained production facilities in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, but have now also forged partnerships in the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand, India, Indonesia, and China.
The Filipino animation industry's expertise is full 2D and 3D animation. In the last 30 years, animators in the Philippines helped the creation of "Dragon Ball Z," "Tom & Jerry," "Scooby Doo," and many other popular cartoon shows.
Now, the government is shining a spotlight on the country's animation sector come Oct. 20-22 through CREATE Philippines, the first international creative industry trade event in the country organized by the Center for International Trade Expositions and Missions (CITEM), the export promotions arm of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).
CREATE Philippines is where creative professionals gather, connect, and catalyze new business ideas and opportunities. It will highlight fast-growing creative sectors such as Visual Arts & Graphic Design, Communication Design, Advertising Content & Production, Film & Animation, Digital Games & Apps, and Music & Performing Arts.
Among CREATE Philippines' guests of honor is the Animation Council of the Philippines (ACPI), which will share its strategies and plans to drive the Filipino animation industry into becoming a strong export player. Marlyn Montano, founder of TeamApp and Holy Cow Animation, is representing ACPI as one of the forum speakers in the three-day event happening at CITEM-HallONE and the Philippine Trade Training Center (PTTC) in Pasay City, Metro Manila.
ACPI President Juan Miguel del Rosario thanked CITEM and DTI for initiating CREATE Philippines and recognizing the animation industry as a part of the country's creative sector. He also expressed his gratitude to BOI for including animation in its investment priority programs for 2017.
"Finally, animation is getting recognized… Since last year, there has been solid backing from the government," Mr. del Rosario said. "It is a dream come true… it's been very heartwarming and I'm going to say thank you for the government support."
Other government institutions that ACPI is in partnership with are the Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP), National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA), DepEd, CHED, and TESDA, among others. According to ACPI Secretary Ricky Orellana, financing is a huge factor in animation projects. One needs a budget that befits a high-quality animation.
ACPI has a booth at the Marché International des Programmes de Communication (MIPCOM), the world's entertainment content market attended by industry bigwigs, to be held from October 16 to 19 at Palais des Festivals in Cannes, France. ACPI's members (Synergy88, Team Apps, TOEI Animation, Neun Farben, Top Peg Animation & Creative Studio, Morph Animation, etc.) are coming to MIPCOM 2017 with support from DTI, and is also open to taking non-members if slots for members aren't filled.
Orellana said that the country's Emmy Award-winning studio, Toon City Animation, is participating at MIPCOM, with newcomer Toast & Brew also in the lineup of attendees. These Filipino animators at MIPCOM 2017 will showcase original content and possibly sell them or secure partnerships with international animation and production studios. The event, which has Disney, HBO, and Warner Bros. as some of its major participants, is attended by more than 100 countries, nearly 14,000 participants, over 1,900 exhibiting companies, and almost 5,000 buyers.
Animahenasyon, ACPI's annual Filipino animation festival to be held on Nov. 9-12, will have five of its titles screened at the Fête du cinéma d'animation in France on Oct. 31. Orellana, who also serves as Animahenasyon's festival director, said that this is a big honor because this is the first time that a Filipino animation will be shown at the European festival.
CREATE Philippines is an official trade activity of the ASEAN Summit 2017 under the ASEAN 2017 Committee on Business and Investment Promotions (CBIP) led by DTI Undersecretary Nora K. Terrado.

DTI Pushes for Growth of PH Creative IndustryPosted By: The Mail Man - Friday, October 20, 2017
The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) is all set to unify the different sectors of the Philippine creative industry to nurture the industry to become a key driver for economic growth.
Through its programs, DTI will promote the lucrative economic potential of the Philippines' creative industries, creative clusters, and creative cities as a viable strategy for sustainable and inclusive development in the region.
In 2014, the creative industry employed 14.4 percent of the country's total labor force and contributed to P661 billion pesos, 7.34 percent of the country's total GDP. Worldwide, the creative industry is valued at $2,250 billion.
"As host of the 30th ASEAN Summit, we are in a prime position to push for the ASEAN initiative to foster creative economies and develop at least one creative city in the country," said Trade and Investments Promotion Group (TIPG) Undersecretary Nora K. Terrado.
DTI, through the Center for International Trade Expositions and Missions, is set to take advantage of the multi-billion industry through CREATE Philippines, the Philippines' first international creative industry trade show.
Featuring the best and the brightest in the Philippine creative scene, CREATE Philippines will serve as a development platform where artists, professionals, content creators, and developers can showcase their work and vie for business opportunities.
The trade show will serve as an idea hub, pitching event, masterclass venue, and trade fair focusing on fast-growing creative sectors, namely: Visual Arts & Graphic Design, Communication Design, Advertising Content & Production, Film & Animation, Digital Games & Apps, and Music & Performing Arts.
CREATE Philippines will run concurrent to the 66th edition of Manila FAME, the country's premier lifestyle, and design event, on October 20-22 at the Philippine Trade and Training Center and HallONE, Pasay City.
"[CREATE Philippines] will streamline the nation's long-term goal of developing creative cities in the Philippines under the UNESCO creative cities network. It will accelerate the roadmap for the development of the country's creative industry as we introduce the Creative Economy Council of the Philippines (CECP) as the new generation of industry champions," Terrado said.
"The event will give a more unified voice to the industry through the collective participation of various agencies, members of public and private sectors, and other key stakeholders," she added.
CECP and the Board of Investments (BOI) are working together to put the Philippines in the top five creative economies in Asia Pacific alongside South Korea, Japan, China, and India by 2030.
Creative industries, such as animation and game development, fall under the fast-growing information technology and business process management (IT-BPM) industry, which the government pins its high hopes to due to its huge financial contribution to the Philippines' economy. The IT-BPM industry generated more than $25 billion in revenue in 2016, and is expecting to double that with $40 billion and provide 1.8 million additional jobs by 2022.
BOI has included creative industries in its 2017 Investment Priorities Plan, particularly in services that involve original content production such as animation, game and software development, and engineering design, among others. CECP, a think tank strategy group comprised of members from several creative industries, is serving as the government's "single point of communication" with private creative sectors.

Cityserv: Making LGUs SmarterPosted By: The Mail Man - Friday, October 20, 2017
The solution to the governance challenges of Local Government Units (LGUs) has arrived with Cityserv.
LGUs have to be more responsive and interactive with its citizens in these times. The era of having the traditional method of using manpower to address the needs of its citizens have long passed. It is acknowledged that LGUs cannot simply cope with the demands of an ever-increasing population, urbanization, Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM), health services and education all at the same time.
The services of LGUs is a cradle to grave endeavor and Cityserv has risen to the challenge.
Cityserv is a fully integrated system wherein LGUs can automate and create proactive solutions to the management challenges presented.
Cityserv systems have Revenue generation systems that streamline and automate the real property taxes and business taxes of the city or municipality. This not only serves the employees of the LGU but importantly gives its citizens faster and easier processes so that revenue collection is more accurate and have shorter processing duration.
In Iloilo City, Cityserv is currently being utilized for its Real Property Tax collections, monitoring and database management. It has a tracking system for transactions that it is also available as a mobile app that can be used by its citizens whenever they conduct transactions with the city.
The Office of the Mayor of Batangas City has employed the Cityserv system in its Mayor's Action Center. This is not just a queuing system for those who need the assistance of the Office of the Mayor. The Cityserv system serves as a tracking system so that the Office of the Mayor can analyze the needs of its constituents that range from education, health, social-related concerns, complaints, peace and order, housing and even social calls.
The system will then point out what relevant city department will address the issues and concerns encountered by the Office of the Mayor. This results in faster response time and quick resolutions of the concerns. The database is also used for analysis of the concerns raised and planning and decisions can be made proactively based on the data collated by the Cityserv system.
The current most comprehensive Cityserv solution is being used in Taytay, Rizal. The Best Taytay mobile app is both for the LGU government and its citizens.
It is utilized in disseminating information to the citizens of Taytay, Rizal. The Best Taytay app releases news and announcements by the LGU government that pertains not only to DRRM but also information about the policies of the LGU. It also provides a directory of all pertinent LGU offices and agencies ranging from the Office of the Mayor all the way to General Services and of course the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (MDRRMO), the PNP, BFP and Rural Health Units (RHUs) and Health Centers.
The unique feature of Cityserv's Best Taytay app is its interactive component. This enables the citizens to report incidents, ask for the relevant assistance needed, and emergency reports. They can also send pictures of notable places in Taytay.
Lucette Dela Rosa, the department of Taytay's Management Information Section gave a run through of the capabilities of the system which gives the citizens the ability to view from their mobile devices city establishments and locations of places of interest on a map.
The Best Taytay apps salient features in DRRM aside from reporting and response is the capacity of the LGU to know where their DRRM assets are in its Asset Map. These assets can be emergency vehicles and emergency personnel availability and deployment. This real-time inventory of DRRM assets is critical in times of emergencies. But the app also has a feature on knowing the age of the emergency equipment and machinery so that planned asset acquisition and purchases can be implemented.
Cityserv's Best Taytay app is not only restricted to the municipal government but also to 5 barangay governments of the municipality.
Lucette Dela Rosa stated that the Best Taytay project also has its database for analyzing and evaluating the performance of the system and continuous improvement of the system is part of its evolution so as to optimize the LGUs service.
Chie Malaki of Highly Succeed's Business Development Management stated that LGUs are becoming more aggressive in digital applications as a crucial component of its governance system and there is a large potential yet to be harnessed.
Cityserv presented its systems and app during the National LGU ICT Forum 2017 held last October 19, 2017, at the Hotel H2O with the topic of Use of Moblie Applications for More Efficient and Transparent Local Service Delivery session.
If you want your LGU to be Cityserve-enabled, a free evaluation, and consultation at email@example.com.

Entries are evaluated according to its relevant utilization of information and communications technology (ICT) to effectively and efficiently deliver its public services directly to its constituents and other stakeholders.
The awards ceremony in partnership with the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG), the Office of Senator Juan Edgardo Angara, chair of the Senate Committee on Local Government and the DICT.
The two-day event is also supported by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), the Cagayan de Oro Chamber of Commerce and Industry (OROCHAMBER), the Cagayan de Oro ICT Business Council and the City Government of Cagayan de Oro.
The Summit brings together about 700 stakeholders and experts from the public and private stakeholders to share industry trends, developments, best practices, and identify challenges and ways to generate new investments and create jobs, especially in the countryside.
This year's goals are to keep up with the current trends in the global ICT industry, prepare for and embrace the countryside digital opportunities, enable a sustainable ecosystem for tech industry and innovation to flourish, and link people in the countryside to global ICT companies for career opportunities.
The key panel topics include enhancing country competitiveness, developing talent development programs, building innovation and startup ecosystem, stepping up to knowledge processes, promoting open governance, understanding disruptive technologies, identifying strategies to attract specific niches to the countryside, and harnessing role of ICT councils.

HealthTech Challenge PH commemorates 60 years of PH-Switzerland diplomatic relationsPosted By: The Mail Man - Friday, October 13, 2017
HealthTech Challenge PH commemorates 60 years of PH-Switzerland diplomatic relations
VP Leni Robredo praises Switzerland as example for PH health-focused tech solutions
The health technology competition seeking homegrown solutions to expand Filipinos' access to Universal Healthcare Coverage (UHC) was organized by the Embassy of Switzerland in the Philippines in partnership with Asian Institute of Management (AIM) and TechTalks.ph to celebrate 60 years of PH-Switzerland diplomatic relations.
"Switzerland has long acknowledged the central importance of technology, research and development to keep its health care system one of the best among OECD countries. This morning's competition is our own little way in contributing to the ongoing innovations in Philippine universal healthcare, as we celebrate the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relationships between Switzerland and the Philippines. E-Health solutions are very important if we are to improve efficiencies and keep up with the times," said Swiss Ambassador in the Philippines Andrea Reichlin.
Held last October 4 at the AIM in Makati City, HealthTech Challenge PH was graced by Philippine Vice President Leni Robredo who praised the one-day event for following Switzerland's example in giving the opportunity to tech startups and solutions to address the country's silent crisis of public health.
"Without exception, companies, individuals, and governments have scrambled to adapt to these ever-changing times. And with the power of technology, health-focused tech startups and solutions represent an important opportunity to widen access to basic services in ways that have never been done before," said VP Robredo.
"From the farthest areas, [the Swiss] can request for emergency services even when cellular, internet or GPS connectivity is not available. No wonder Switzerland has one of the best healthcare systems in the world," she said.
According to the World Health Organization, Universal Healthcare Coverage (UHC) means all people and communities can use the promotive, preventive, curative, rehabilitative and palliative health services they need, of sufficient quality to be effective, while also ensuring that the use of these services does not expose the user to financial hardship.
HealthTech Challenge Winners
The Decision Labs, which uses embedded analytics to enhance patient experience in hospitals through its flagship product CEMPIA, clinched the HealthTech Challenge top prize.
Winning second prize and third prize are BloodHero, an online community platform for blood donors committed to life, and Wireless Access for Health, which helps over 100 local government partners manage and improve local healthcare through its digital health platform.
Tech-based products like websites, mobile apps, hardware and software solutions covered by the HealthTech Challenge competition includes any stage of the healthcare process from awareness, diagnosis, treatment, tracking, and monitoring.
Other finalists that made it to the final run include Open CPD Network, JazzyPay, Novostorm, Medix.PH, and Getz Clinical.
The Open CPD Network aims to create a new partnership arrangement offering accredited CPD Courses through online portals at #ZeroCost to the participants. JazzyPay is a web and mobile secured-payment platform designed for customers to pay educational and medical institutions directly using multi-currency consolidated payment solutions.
Novostorm provides patient flow management solutions to hospitals. Medix.PH is an electronic medical record (EMR) platform for hospitals and clinics. Getz Clinical offers clinical software that improves accuracy, security, and accessibility of patient data.
HealthTech Challenge judges include Kenneth Hartigan-Go, MD, School Head of the AIM Zuellig Graduate School of Development Management; Dr. John Q. Wong, EpiMetrics, Inc. President; Christine Fajardo, Novartis Director; Dave Overton, Sym.ph founder and CEO; Dr. Tonyboy Faraon, Zuellig Foundation Vice President; Christian Blanquera, Openovate.com CEO & Founder;
HealthTech Challenge mentors include Mark John Buenconsejo, Next Level Founder; Prof. Rene T. Domingo, AIM Management Consultant and Professor; Prof. Gaston D. Ortigas Jr. AIM Associate Professor; Jason Torres, Mashup Garage Co-Founder and CTO; Dr. Marian F. Concepcion, Program Manager of the LEARNS Evaluation Team; and Prof. Matthew George O.

This hits the right notes for me- I feel like outfits posted as "summer fashion" either tend to be inch cut offs for teenagers or kind of dowdy.

We have a neighbourhood street party this week and the invitation says "BYO nibbles and drinks". I have to work until 30 minutes prior to the party so I need some ideas for quick simple "nibbles" to take.
I was thinking fairy bread for the kids and maybe cheese platter for adults.
Any other fantastic ideas?

What food should I take to a neighbourhood Xmas party?
14-12-2016 20:34 #2
Sushi, spinach/feta triangles? (Made the day before)
14-12-2016 20:59 #3
Bruschetta- make the tomato mix that morning and just toast the bread lightly before going to the party and assemble there
Guacamole and corn chips ( takes 5 mins to make)
Prawn and mango salsa and corn chips (takes 15 mins to chop and make)
Xmas Jelly cups for the kids ( red and green layered jelly ) and you can make the night before
Strawberry and marshmallows kebabs with white choc and passionfruit dip ( make the dip night before)
Smoked salmon, horseradish cream and caramelised onion mini toasts ( make the onions the night before and just assemble before leaving!)
14-12-2016 21:01 #4
Fruit Platter

I'd probably do something like mini spinach and tomato quiches the night before. Or a cold meat platter (buy everything day before and assemble that night). Fruit salad or fruit kebabs would be nice too with mango, kiwi and strawberry.

You are all better, more functional adults than me.
I'd say wine.
Packet of chips. Maybe some jatz and shop bought dip. Double Brie cheese and water crackers.
Horse carrot for child. (Not joking - we have horses, child loves them, I don't argue!)
All purchased from Coles on way to party :P All served in classy plastic packaging/box because I'd forget to grab plates/knife on the way past.

Something quick and easy is honey soy chicken wings from the supermarket deli. Cook them as soon as you get home in the microwave because you're pressed for time.

great story for accountants
on April 17, 2011
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
I have no training in bookkeeping of any kind, and I felt there was a gap in my education, so when I found out that Pacioli's book was available in translation in an inexpensive paperback I sent for it and read it. As Pacioli emphasizes, one must read chapters 2 and 3. These are about inventory. As he does not emphasize, one must read chapter 27. It is about "profit and loss." The other chapters tell the reader how to be a cooperative and respected and successful merchant of Venice. Literally. It is not a bit like Shakespeare's play.
on January 14, 2013
Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
This is an approachable translation that is limited to the section of Pacioli's working concerning accounting. Still not a book to snuggle up with on a cold winter's night.
on October 25, 2014
Format: Paperback
Many of the greatest leaders throughout history, including George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson were accountants and practiced Double-Entry bookkeeping. This book by Luca Pacioli takes us back to the original Merchants of Venice who became very powerful because of their means of accountability taught in this book. In the book we learn the system that recorded and established prosperity. Obviously, this book would provide a system to get our current global financial malaise under control but that would require honesty and a distaste for corruption...
