The most beautiful canyons in the world
Canyons are some of the most dramatic landforms on the planet (and even on other planets), created over millions of years by rivers that carved their way through the landscape. Geologists can probably rave on for hours about canyons, but you hardly need to know everything about them in order to appreciate their beauty.
Wherever they are, canyons tend to be major natural attractions for people who want to see them, take pictures of them, climb them and trek along them. Canyons or gorges have a way of creating the perfect setting for adventures, as long as you don't shrink from a bit of hiking and walking. Here are some of the most beautiful canyons in the world, for travelers who 'collect' natural wonders. …

The most fascinating ghost towns in Asia
Ghost towns with creaking saloon doors and the occasional tumbleweed are interesting relics of the American wild west, but ghost towns can be creepy, unsettling and completely fascinating wherever they are. The thing about ghost towns is that they mostly manage to fool you by looking like they are still inhabitable, and yet there is no other soul in sight except you, or some other travelers in search of new experiences.
Asia's ghost towns are particularly intriguing, even if some of them have never even had any inhabitants. All of these places have some interesting and often morbid story to tell, and all of them will make a shiver go down your spine. Here are some of the most fascinating ghost towns in Asia. …

5 reasons to visit Taiwan
Although China is a pretty popular travel destination nowadays, the same can't really be said about Taiwan, otherwise known the Republic of China. The island of Taiwan has traded hands several times throughout history, and it's a tricky place: its government is on mainland China, but Taiwan is an entirely different nation.
If you think that if you've seen China there's not much reason to visit Taiwan, a visit to this beautiful island (called in the past Formosa, meaning 'beautiful' in Portuguese) will change your mind. Taiwan is one of the most densely populated places on the planet, and yet there's still enough space for breathtaking natural beauty. Mountains, beaches, exotic small towns and crowded neon-lit cities will give you plenty of incentives to travel. Here are 5 reasons to visit Taiwan, but there are many more than that! …

Hungry travelers usually seek out restaurants that are both good and cheap, and if the decor is only marginally important as long as you can fill yr stomach with good grub.

The most underrated travel destinations in Asia and why you should visit them
What makes a holiday attraction popular? Of course, a lot of it is because the place really has something to show off with, like interesting museums, natural sites, historic sites etc. But a large part of the popularity of a certain place is due to this image it constructs for itself through ads, brochures and tourism campaigns.
These are great tourist destinations that you should by no means overlook, but in addition to famous holiday destinations like Hong Kong, Tokyo, Singapore or Shanghai, there are scores of other Asian destinations that don't quite get the attention they deserve. So here are some of the most underrated travel destinations in Asia, and why you should visit them. …

If you want to see everything Gypsum has to offer, there is no better way to do so from behind the wheel of a rental car from Thrifty. Stop spending your vacation waiting on the bus, or being nickel and dimed with ride-shares or taxis. Having your own ride enables you to go to the sites you want to see the most, whenever you want. Make your upcoming getaway to Colorado even better with a Thrifty rental car.
CarRentals.com takes care of all the speed bumps
Gypsum is a perfect spot when you want a break from rat race of a big city. With everything there is to do and see, you will want your own set of wheels to explore as much as you can during your getaway. And if you need to see what else is around Gypsum, then jump behind the wheel of your Thrifty rental car and see what else is out there.
We work with the finest rental car dealers in the world, like Thrifty, to not only get you the car you want for your vacation, but also get you the best rate. We can help your visit get off on the right foot.
Frequently asked questions
How do I get a Gypsum Thrifty car rental at a great price?
CarRentals.com always tries to get you the lowest rates, no matter when you reserve your vehicle. However, getting ahead of your visit can help keep spending low. Be sure to keep the car under one driver's name and check the mileage policy to avoid any surprise fees.
Do I need to bring anything special when I get my car rental in Gypsum?
Be sure to carry with you your driver's permit and a credit card in your name.
What is the minimum age to rent a car in Gypsum?
Thrifty's minimum age to rent a car in Gypsum is 21. Some rentals, especially higher category vehicles (luxury, SUVs, etc.), may have an added fee if you are under 25. Take time to read through Thrifty's policies to determine if there is an additional cost before you book.
What kind of Thrifty rental car should I get for my trip to Gypsum?
That all depends on your needs and what activities you want to do in Gypsum. Compact or economy automobiles are easier to park and ideal for short drives. If you are traveling with a bigger group, then a mid-size car or SUV is going to have more room for everyone's luggage and be a more comfortable ride. Those looking for a little extravagance on their Gypsum vacation can choose a higher-end model like a Cadillac or Audi or similar.
Is insurance required when you rent a car in the United States?
You are required to have insurance before you rent a car from Thrifty in the United States. Many major credit cards (American Express, Visa, MasterCard and Discover) generally provide some coverage. However, many of them have limitations, such as not covering large vehicles, like trucks or SUVs. It is best to call your credit card company and find out what kind of coverage is offered before you head to Gypsum. Otherwise, as a U.S. citizen, you can add on Collision Damage Coverage through CarRentals.com at checkout.
Does Thrifty require a deposit at the time of booking my rental car?
Thrifty does require a deposit when you book your rental car. Thrifty will block the deposit on your credit once you reserve your car for your trip to Gypsum. Please note that the deposit may vary greatly based on the model and make of the rental.
Do I have to return my Thrifty rental with a full tank?
We suggest a full tank policy. You pick up your Thrifty rental with the needle at "F". But, if you return your rental with less than the amount it was given to you, most companies will charge a premium, and sometimes up to 3X the amount of current gas prices to refill it. For a cheaper rate, it is best to fill up your tank before you return the car to Thrifty. Stations near airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.
Why should I get unlimited miles?
Gypsum's small-town atmosphere definitely is charming, but you may want to take to the road again after you've checked off all the activities in Gypsum.
Can I get a one-way rental from Thrifty?
Thrifty usually offers one-way rentals. You may find it more convenient to drop off your rental car at another location. However, there may be an additional fee when you choose one-way.
Reserve your ride today!
Once you've explored the must-do activities in Gypsum, having access to your own auto will allow you to see what else Colorado offers. When you are ready to check out more of Colorado, you can drive when you want to, without waiting for your ride to pick you up or figuring out a bus schedule.
Before your next holiday, book your Thrifty Gypsum rent-a-car and visit all the must-see sights at your leisure. Book with CarRentals.com and speed along the open road in Gypsum, Colorado.

Where's the App Store for Apple TV? Don't rule out Apple's ruling your living room. Peter Burrows in Bloomberg Businessweek.
A big question will be whether Apple opens an App Store for Apple TV. If it does that, and history repeats itself, thousands of developers might then race to create programs suited to the TV.
Is Apple thinking in this direction? Yes. If Apple TV sells millions and millions of units at $99, you can bet the farm there will be Apple TV apps.

You may be all too familiar (so many people are) with that heart burn, reflux kind of feeling. Does it wake you up in the night and you feel the burn? Is it difficult to enjoy a meal for fear of it later? You are not alone! Many people suffer from this. You might think it's because you have too much acid – BUT I am here to share with you the REAL DEAL with stomach acid, why reflux happens, and some NATURAL ways to control it without making the problem worse!
As a future Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (FNTP) one of things we look at in client's is not only their nutrition, but digestion of the food they eat. This is important because you can eat THE BEST nutrition on the planet from THE CLEANEST foods in the world, but absorb nothing if you have digestive dysfunction anywhere from mouth to … well the exit anus.
If you have struggled with reflux, GERD, OR you have an autoimmune disease, asthma, cancer, or other digestive issues – you need to check out the book (which inspired this post) – Why Stomach Acid is Good for You by Jonathan Wright & Lane Lenard.
Why do we need stomach acid?
Stomach acid is necessary to break down the food into the correct smaller nutrients we need to fuel our body. If the stomach is too alkaline (higher pH and not enough acid) the food will not be broken down into nutrients for distribution in the body. Without this breakdown, not only will you be missing nutrients, but you may suffer from some upset as your food starts to reach the small intestine because it hasn't reached the state it needs to in order to be properly digested or used. You will quickly become deficient in amino acids (proteins), vitamins and minerals, and possibly even fat and more!
What causes reflux, pain, GERD?
For the most part these conditions are caused by LOW stomach acid. That means NOT ENOUGH! So when you use an antacid or an acid blocker, it creates even LESS acid for the stomach thus keeping you on the meds and aggravating your condition. Other causes are weakening of the "door" (sphincter) that keeps the acid INSIDE of your stomach and out of more sensitive areas like your esophagus (that is why it "burns"). The weakening can be caused by foods, alcohol, smoking, diseases and more. You can also get pain from bacteria or yeast growth that happens from not having enough stomach acid for a long time. Acid kills bacteria and yeast very quickly, but without it in the stomach they sneak in from the intestines causing more problems. Your doctor would need to evaluate you for the presence of this growth for treatment.
Is there anything that can be done to fix this?
YES! The great news is that you can actually work on trying to resolve your issues yourself at home. Of course, you should be examined by a physician for functional disturbances that might need surgical repair or for infection.
When looking at the issue you need to identify what some food sensitivities are, what offending agents to this condition are, and you need to remove them from your diet and your life. If you drink alcohol, that may be it, if you smoke, that may be it. You may also have food allergies or sensitivities you are unaware of. Working with a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (FNTP), like myself, would be one step in helping you determine sensitivities you may not even know you have causing the issue. Did you know that most people have food allergies they are unaware of? They happen over 24-72 hours AFTER eating the food and are not life threatening and often go unnoticed. These offending agents cause a reaction in the body creating an issue. When removing these, and increasing the stomach acidity you can start to work toward resolution.
Guess what? Stomach Acid is not just a problem for reflux!
Turns out that there is a connection between low stomach acid and the following:
* Chronic sinus issues
* Allergies
* Food Allergies
* Autoimmune issues – such as lupus, RA, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and MORE!
* Asthma – especially childhood
* Bloating
These are just a few things that are tied to low stomach acid. AND I know for sure that when treating symptoms of lupus or other autoimmune you have likely been prescribed a type of acid blocker or inhibitor to continue to take harmful NSAIDs and more. This is only AGGRAVATING the condition. You likely started with low stomach acid, which contributed to the immune response from your gut – leading you on the path to autoimmunity!
Keep in mind: As we age we naturally lose stomach acid.
Where can you start at home then?
1- Eliminate offensive agents like – alcohol, tobacco, dairy, stress management, medications like NSAIDs, and many more!
2- Work on adding in nutrient rich foods to your diet to help combat and change the environment.
3- SLOW DOWN WHEN YOU EAT! This is hard we are all in a hurry BUT it is essential. It's true that if you chew your food more before swallowing and eat more slowly, your digestive system will thank you. It helps break up the food to become less work in the stomach, and therefore, the nutrients are more available to your small intestines for distribution.
4- Cut out processed foods. Eat whole real foods gives you the best nutrients and also your gut to work on something it was meant to work on. Not processed chemicals that are difficult to digest.
5- Add a little apple cider vinegar (diluted in water) or some lemon in water about 15-30 minutes before a meal. This helps lower the stomach pH and get it ready to digest.
6- Try fermented vegetables. Anything fermented (if buying from the store and not making yourself CHECK THE LABEL INGREDIENTS – no processed chemicals!). Fermented foods help with the digestive process and can help heal the tract and gut.
Need more help?
You may need more than this. You may need the help of an FNTP, and your physician to work on a HCL and pepsin regimen, as well as B12 and other vitamin supplements to get back on track. One thing is for sure, talk to your doctor about getting off of your acid blocker, especially if you haven't been tested and told you have TOO MUCH stomach acid. The only people who may benefit (although can be done naturally as well) from these meds is someone with a hyperchlorhydria (too much acid) diagnosis. There are some other methods that a FNTP could also help you with to control this naturally. The great news is that once you get control and remove those offending agents from your life – you may not need anything else and you will have a happy gut again!
Once you have some control over the acid and you are feeling a bit better, getting enough B12, zinc and other vitamins is crucial as these have been deficient if you have had low stomach acid in your past.

Facebook Watch was launched a year ago in the US and this would now give publishers and creators a worldwide market for their videos.
"Facebook Watch is now available everywhere," the social media giant said in a post on Facebook.

Facebook said page producers are eligible for Ad Breaks if they have been creating 3-minute videos that have generated more than 30,000 1-minute views over the past two months and have 10,000 Facebook followers.
The Ad Breaks are initially available in the US, UK, New Zealand and Australia.
"In September we will be expanding to Argentina, Belgium, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Denmark, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, France, Germany, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Peru, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, and Thailand, supporting English content and various local languages. In the coming months availability will further expand to more countries and languages," the company said.
Facebook is also launching Creator Studio globally, providing publishers a place to manage their entire content library and business. According to the BBC, the revenue split will be 55% to the creators and 45% for Facebook.
Watch has been portrayed as a rival to Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) but it will also compete against traditional TV outlets and streaming services such as Netflix (NASDAQ:NFLX), the BBC reported.
Facebook dominates the social media arena. The company is based in Menlo Park, California.

I have stayed at many very nice hotels, but the Le Blanc Spa Resort is my new favorite. This hotel is indeed worthy of their Five Diamond rating! The overall service at the Le Blanc is EXTRAORDINARY! From the pool servers to the butlers, we never waited for anything!
We spent a week at Beach Palace, Cancun with our family. The entertainment staff kept us busy and entertained all week. Pool volleyball, Zumba and yoga. Trivia games every day and lots of nightly entertainment. Fun for kids and adults.
It's the first time we have visited Cancun and stayed at the Sun Palace Hotel, we will definitely be going back again. I couldn't have asked for a better hotel. It was just truly amazing. The food was great. The hotel staff were so polite and friendly.
Wow! What a week this Is truly a five star resort. If I heard it from one, I heard it from all servers, "Its my pleasure to serve you". The resort's rooms were upscale and the food and food service was five star. We will definitely go back next year.
Amazing, staff are wonderful and the beds are so so comfortable, I'm trying to find out what the mattress is so I buy one! I will definitely be back! Oh and try the Bob Marley cocktails (yeah man).

The world's most innovative companies expect to grow by more than 60 percent over the next five years, adding a total of more than US$250 billion in new revenues as a result of sophisticated approaches to innovation in all areas of their operations.
A new PwC study, Breakthrough Innovation and Growth, released at a meeting of the World Economic Forum, found a direct correlation between excellence in innovation and superior revenue growth.
According to the study, the top 20 percent of innovators worldwide say their growth rate over the next five years will be double the global average and three times higher than that of the least innovative companies.
Companies are fundamentally changing the way they innovate, the study found. Innovation has moved beyond products and services and now regularly encompasses business models, operating systems and customer experience. Additionally, collaboration with both internal and external partners has become vital to innovation efforts.
"Innovation has gone mainstream. Five years ago, expansion into China was seen as the most powerful source of growth for just about every business," says David Percival, PwC's Global Client Innovation Leader. "Now, companies see that innovation presents them with greatest potential for growth."
While innovation was once thought to be the province of technology and consumer goods companies in developed economies, it has now become a key driver of growth for companies regardless of sector or geography.
The top tier of innovators identified in the study come from a diverse range of sectors from healthcare to automotive to financial services, and from India, to the Netherlands and Brazil.
"Business leaders must understand that there are already innovation pioneers in their industry and around the world. Leaders must be ready to step up to disruptive challenges from their more innovative competitors," said Robert Shelton, PwC's Global Innovation Strategy Leader.
The study found that successful innovation is dependent on well-developed strategies. Nearly 80 percent of top innovators said they had well defined innovation strategies, compared with less than half of among the least innovative companies.
The most innovative companies treat innovation in the same way as any other business or management process, the study found. Just one in five of the most innovative companies described their approach to innovation as 'informal,' compared with about one-third of the least innovative.
Executives from the most successful companies say they devote more time to innovation, have more incentives to collaborate and are more likely to be supported by senior management.
Comparing innovation
The study found major differences between the most and least innovative companies.
Among the findings is that the most innovative companies anticipate 62.2 percent revenue growth over the next five years compared with 20.7 percent for the least innovative.
The combined revenue growth of the most innovative companies is forecast to be US$252 billion over next five years compared with US$93 billion among the least innovative.
Two-thirds of the most innovative companies say innovation is a competitive necessity compared with 19% among the least innovative.
Nearly 80 percent of the most innovative say they have a well-defined innovation strategy compared with 47 percent of the least innovative.
The most innovative companies are almost twice as likely to be targeting breakthrough and radical innovations.
The most innovative companies are more likely to use corporate venturing to drive growth: 13 percent vs. 7 percent. The study also finds that the most innovative companies use social media more often to collaborate externally: 67 percent vs. 39 percent. Meanwhile, the most innovative are less likely to manage innovation efforts informally: 21 percent vs. 32 percent.

With the arrival of hot summer weather attention is again drawn to the fact that there are many residents of Black Diamond who have no effective means of disposing of garbage. At the last Mine Council meeting a move was instituted to improve the sanitary condition of the camp by asking everybody to provide themselves with garbage cans.
The company will provide a means for regularly disposing of all garbage deposited in cans, free of cost, and in order to make the entire camp fully sanitary it is absolutely necessary that every house be equipped with the proper type of garbage can. These may be obtained through the company store, and in case they are not installed promptly, steps will be taken to compel every resident to so equip his place.
At both Newcastle and Burnett every house is equipped with a garbage can and the menace of typhoid and contagion thereby greatly minimized. (more…)

You can scroll through this list and read about a variety of gigs.
For the concert of Joy Division on January 11 1980, a few of my quotes have been used in it.
Yes, in Dutch.

In 2018, Paradiso celebrates its 50th birthday. From the long-list of more than 25000 programs, Hester Carvalho, writer of the book 'Paradiso 50 jaar in 50 legendarische concerten', selected 50 memorial gigs to highlight the music history of the venue. Of course different genres have been selected to satisfy all kinds of visitors and readers.
For each gig, five eyewitnesses were found to recollect that night. Marc Tilli was asked about two shows, obviously Joy Division on January 11 1980 and the other one, The Rolling Stones on May 27th 1995.
For the Joy Division gig, the famous Lex van Rossen photo was selected, on which Ian Curtis is wearing The Sound And The Fury t-shirt. The book is written in Dutch only.

release of latest book by Peter Hook 'Substance' a recollection of his years in the legendary band New Order.
This book features one of the photos i took December 13th 1980, at the band's 9th gig ever, in Rotterdam Hal 4. This venue was a renovated hall at a water purification plant. A gig made possible by the efforts of Mike Pickering, who then lived in Rotterdam and soon relocated to Manchester to DJ at the new club The Haçienda as formed his bands Quando Quango and M-People.
This gig was the 2nd appearance of Gillian Gilbert and showed an emotional and young band working hard through a selection of brand new songs. This struggling band would soon conquer the world with their massive hits and iconic albums.

How ironic it is for me that I haven't written anything much in detail about my stay in Switzerland for the past 11 months since I arrived. Yes, few more days to go and it's going to be my first year. There are supposed to be so many stories to tell, as a matter of fact, but then again, the daily run of my life couldn't seem to accommodate this another new idea in mind.
Until one day, someone asked me this question, "Do you feel your Swissness growing in you?" I couldn't say the magic word that I ended up replying, "Maybe I'm getting there."
It could be nice to look back, reflect and write about the events and experiences so I can better appreciate the life I have here and assimilate well into the Swiss culture (before it's too late?).
I won't be painting a rosy picture for Switzerland all the time because I'm equally eager to share the rest of the Swiss quirks too! Everything that is Swiss from a Pinay POV, and that Pinay must be, me.
For now though, it's better to create a good impression first. So here are the ten things I like about Switzerland.
1. Swiss time is really gold.
Switzerland is well-known as a watchmaking country. Most of the top-of-the-line, luxurious watch brands in the world originated from here. The Swiss are legendaries for their dedication to detail and accuracy. A luxurious watch for one, comprises of more than 300 precision parts and long hours of meticulous craftsmanship. As Switzerland has a reputation to uphold, it appears to me that everything here has to be in sync and everyone's wired to be on-time.
Public transportation is one good example. I have always been an avid commuter ever since in the Philippines. Most of the time, I find pleasure in going through the Amazon-like traffic of Manila. Of course, since Manila traffic is very unpredictable, making (valid?) excuses for being late had become a part of the morning routine.
On a side note, I couldn't entirely blame Christopher Lao for speaking out loud that he should have been informed (that the flooded road is impassable for a car like his) but when you particularly drive around Manila in torrential downpour that day, common sense is a must; and unfortunately his lack thereof, as well as his lame excuses, being seen on national TV has made him become a laughing matter (and lately, an Internet quick sensation). However here in Switzerland, it's au contraire. Waking up late can be the only reason for being so, and should foreseen circumstances ever occur, believe me, the Swiss will also inform you beforehand.
Unless there's a traffic jam, technical problems, bad weather, life emergencies or any uncontrollable situations along the way, which also seldom happen, the buses, trams and trains in Switzerland arrive on-the-dot, and even earlier than usual. Undoubtedly it's good I left my Filipino time behind.
A very funny, creative satire on Lao, but, WTH is Christopher Lao? Here's one for you in YouTube. This ain't funny if you can't read/understand Tagalog, so better skip this video. Definitely, in German, Hitler's expressing seriousness here.
2. The hills are alive.
Seeing Mont Blanc from afar in my morning run, passing by the Swiss Alps in Valais, dipping in a thermal pool at the mountain ridges in Leukerbad, hiking at Mont Vevey, and day-camping in the greensides of Jura are just some of the many nature trips and leisures I've enjoyed so far. I am more of a beach traveler in the Philippines so getting into these activities like hiking, camping, mountain biking or snow skiing are pretty new for me. As it is surrounded by the Swiss Alps on the south and Jura mountains up north, Switzerland is the most fitting place to get into these activities. For one, I find Switzerland the least polluted country I've ever been and because of that my health has improved. In the Phils, I'm used to getting sick with cough, colds, fever/flu or a (deadly) combination of both every 3-4 months, but since I stayed here I've never gotten ill.
Although these countries in the southpart of Europe like Italy and Greece can indulge the sun lover like me ( it's underrated, a worshiper I mean!), I find the climate just right to enjoy winter, spring, summer and fall. Switzerland is generally temperate. In summer and spring, lush greens and beautiful flowers grow in bounty. Cooler breeze starts in autumn and almost the entire surroundings change in colors with various hues of browns, yellows, reds. And in winter of course, it's all white at the Central Plateau on several days. Snow storms and temperature dropping way below zero seldom happen here. While up there in the Swiss Alps, there's a generous amount of snow. Just like any other country, however, weather's becoming harder to predict nowadays. This year, I was expecting a hot, dry summer in Switzerland but surprisingly, the weather's been behaving like it is still spring. Autumn months are getting near so it appears that summer is shorter than usual. In any case, I'm looking forward to enjoy the winter activities. Fondue, anyone?
3. There's always a place for green thumbs.
I can never do gardening. Ever. I tried to spark an interest a couple of times since my mother's been into it for so long. I remember she would plant different kinds of vegetables and fruits in every empty lot she could find near the house. The corn and the watermelon planting at our backyard I think, were the most ambitious planting projects she has ever done because no kidding, she did it all by herself. After awhile though, she slowed down, taking care only some potted plants like orchids (but still, lots of them). But today, as we've moved to our new home, she is reuniting to her old passion once more since we've got a good parcel of lot to plant on. I'm encouraging her to do it because as I stay here in Switzerland, I begin to appreciate the gardens more and more. Except that, I still won't be gardening! *grin*
It seems to me that every house in Switzerland has to have a garden; or a potted plant for the very least, in every apartment. A Swiss garden is a living art form. I have seen a masterpiece just right at our neighbor's huge backyard. I have gotten ideas from the garden exposition in Coppet. Since then I couldn't stop myself from admiring someone else's backyard whenever I find one, and pointing my finger to say, "I want this. I want that…for my garden." If it weren't been my mom's interest, I'll definitely ask her to hire a (hot) gardener.
Despite the limited land area in Switzerland (only 41,285 square kilometers or about the size of North Luzon, Ilocos and Cagayan Valley combined), it seems to be that every parcel of it is highly utilised; if not for industrial, it must be for agricultural purpose. 70% of the country's total land area is comprised of the rugged terrains of Jura and the Swiss Alps while 11% (only around 4,440 sq. km.) is under seasonal or permanent crops (potatoes, wheat, sugar beets, barley, maize, oats, rye, fruits). From which only 150 sq. km. are vineyards. The Lavaux vineyard terraces, which can be traced back to the 11th century, is a perfect example of how the Swiss optimize their local resources to produce something that is valuable for their culture and their economy.
4. Chocolates, cheeses and wines are my new lovers.
I found the deadly trio in Switzerland.
Each already has its own cunning ways to let one give in. Chocolates, in particular, contain the same chemical the brain produces when we feel in love. But having them all at once is definitely an ecstatic, ooh-lala experience. I feel very lucky to be in the place where I can enjoy the best chocolates, cheeses and wines in the world today. No exaggeration needed, really. No pun intended.
Swiss chocolates are known for high quality all over the world. No doubt about it. It was the Swiss who: created the Toblerone, of which its shape is an inspiration from the Matterhorn in the Swiss Alps; and invented the milk cholocate and the conche, a surface and scraping mixer and agitator that evenly distributes cocoa butter within chocolate and may act as polisher of the particles (thanks wikipedia!). Some famous Swiss chocolate brands are: Tobler, Cailler, Lindt, Suchard, Sprüngli, Maestrani, Klaus, Peter, Frey, Chocolat de Villars, Camille Bloch, Bernrain, Chocolats Halba, among others.
We imagine Swiss cheese as this block of cheese riddled with holes known as "eyes," but the truth is, this has become a generic name for these cheese varieties outside of Switzerland which resemble the Swiss Emmental. But this is not their one and only cheese. Switzerland would not be known as a cheese country in the first place without the 450 varieties of cheese they created in high quality, naturalness and good taste.
Cheesemaking has been a tradition for many centuries all across the Swiss landscape. Swiss cheeses have come with different types: extra hard and hard cheeses like Sbrinz, Emmentaler, Le Gruyère, L'Etivaz, Berner Alpkäse, Schabziger; semi-hard cheeses like raclette cheese, Walliser raclette, Appenzeller, Tilsiter, Tête de Moine, Vacherin fribourgeois, Bündner Bergkäse, Mutschli; soft cheeses such as Swiss Brie, Swiss Camembert, Tomme, Reblochon, Limburger, Münster, Vacherin Mont-d'Or, Gala; cream cheese such as Quark, cottage cheese, Formaggini, Mozzarella, Petit Suisse; and goat's and sheep's cheeses.
While swishing the wine in the glass, you might hear a Swiss joking, "We drink our own wines alone, but we share a few drops with the Germans." Seriously, wines from Switzerland only constitute less than one per cent of world wine production (110,800 liters) and nearly all wines are drunk within the country. From this production, only 2% (2,200 liters) are exported mainly to Germany. So when you see a Swiss wine in a wine store/cellar outside Switzerland or Europe, there's this feeling you've got a very valuable gem. With such rarity of this wine, I somewhat feel the exclusiveness and the privilege, even if it's just an everyday drink we take after meals!
I will attempt to feature some, if not all, of the known chocolates, cheeses, and wines in Switzerland.
5. Welcome to Swiss suburbs.
I was hesitant at first but suddenly I missed the hour-long travel of going to work and living outside the metro. I was also a bit fed up of living in Geneva, so at the time I found a place in Gland I took it right away. Then, I fell in love with my newfound home.
I will try to tour you around the Gland neighborhood on my next blog post.
6. Pardon my French.
Pinoy meets French. French, Pinoy.
A REPOST: Around two years ago, perhaps out of boredom, I decided to take French classes at Alliance Française de Manille, without any plan as to where and how I can apply what I'd learn. Little did I know that it is going to be a starting point to a rather bigger purpose.
I can't take away the sly grin after reading my first blog post for the Apprendre la langue Française series. Goal A (write an essay in French) will always entail a battle between character accents and phonetic sounds. I was able to do Goal B (watch a full-length French film) and the film I watched, well, was to vivid for kids to enjoy. I'd just faint on the floor if I couldn't keep up with Goal C (engage into long conversations in French).
When I'm too lazy, I nonchalantly talk back, "Est-ce que vous parlez anglais, s'il vous (super) plâit?" English is still sticking out, apparently.
I will try to go back to school and improve my French.
7. How united are the colors of Switzerland?
I'm still hanging on for my dear life in the French side of the country. The truth is, most Swiss speak German, while 20% of the population speaks French and the rest Italian (7%) and Romansh (1%). My French is not yet really that good, so I feel relieved that most people can speak English, particularly here in Geneva.
Oh, c'est Genève, here's a snapshot (via wikipedia):
Geneva has been described as the third European financial centre after London and Zurich, and the world's eighth most important financial centre by the Global Financial Centres Index, ahead of Frankfurt, and a 2009 survey by Mercer found Geneva to have the third-highest quality of life of any city in the world (narrowly outranked by Zürich). The city has been referred to as the world's most compact metropolis and the "Peace Capital." In 2009, Geneva was ranked as the fourth most expensive city in the world.
Geneva has been inhabited with successive waves of immigrants for over 3000 years. Today 40% of its inhabitants come from other countries, understandably because over 125 multinational companies, 24 international organizations, 300 international NGOs, and 200 diplomatic missions and consulates operate in this Swiss canton. French and English may have been the prominent languages used in Geneva, but taking a bus ride for example, sounds like experiencing a meeting at the UN. You'll overhear people speaking in their own languages, may it be Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Dutch, Chinese, Arabic, Japanese, Russian, or Tagalog (and any other Filipino dialects as well).
Especially with the recent events that hit the EU, unfortunately, multiculturalism and immigration policies in Europe have been under scrutiny once more. In as much as Switzerland deems to continually model itself as protector of human rights, the current political ball game in Switzerland shows the growing anxieties over its current immigration policies:
One of the world's oldest democracies is at the center of Western Europe's most divisive political debate: to embrace an increasingly globalized, multicultural society or to retreat into social isolation in an effort to preserve eroding traditional identities. – From WashingtonPost.com.
How diverse and multicultural is the Swiss society really? And how safe and comfortable is Geneva to live in for the "internationals" (vis-a-vis local Genevans)? That, my friend, is another side of the coin. I'll go chika about it soon, abangan!
8. Swiss politics is unheard of, and that's good!
Or the government, particularly, I asked a few Genevans but it seems that they had little knowledge about it. There's a Swiss I know who enlightened me about their political system, but quite surprised me when he's unsure of who their current president is. I couldn't entirely conclude there's a disconnect between the audiences and the ones who run the show, but I guess, it is in their political culture that most politicians keep a lower profile than their counterparts in other European countries. Beyond that, Swiss politicians get elected because of their competencies and the platforms of their parties they represent; not just because they are rich, charismatic, or solely popular. Take note of that, my fellow kababayans.
Little did we also know that Switzerland is actually the closest state in the world that exercises direct democracy since 1848:
The politics of Switzerland take place in the framework of a multi-party federal parliamentary democratic republic, whereby the Federal Council of Switzerland is the head of government. Executive power is exercised by the government and the federal administration and is not concentrated in any one person. Federal legislative power is vested in both the government and the two chambers of the Federal Assembly of Switzerland. The judiciary is independent of the executive and the legislature. For any change in the constitution, a referendum is mandatory; for any change in a law, a referendum can be requested. Through referenda, citizens may challenge any law voted by federal parliament and through initiatives introduce amendments to the federal constitution, making Switzerland the closest state in the world to a direct democracy. (via wikipedia.org)
One thing's for sure. The mature, stable and exemplary Swiss political culture is what makes this country successful in so many ways.
9. Death by Swiss food it is!
Since Switzerland was historically a country of farmers, most uniquely traditional Swiss dishes tend to be plain and made from simple ingredients, particularly from potatoes and cheese. Yet every region in the country is likewise influenced by either Italian, French, German cuisines or a combination of both.
I've always enjoyed the most popular cheese dishes in Switzerland, the fondue and the raclette. Recently, I had a taste of what I called Swiss hash browns and it is called Rösti, a potato dish I enjoyed much. And the dish that I'd consider the most hard-to-find, uniquely regional I have eaten so far, is what they called the malakoff. Call it a Swiss deep-fried cheese sticks, and you can only find it in the canton of Vaud, where I live now. (An update! Apparently, malakoff is also served at Cafe du Soleil, a resto in Geneva. Not so hard to find now eh? Gotcha?)
Did you know that muesli, the Emmental cheese (yes, the cheese with holes!), Ovomaltine (known in the US as Ovaltine) originate from Switzerland? All kinds of tarts and quiches, you can also find them here. I just love quiches! You can also relish various dried meat dishes and sausages. Cervelas sausage is considered the national sausage; it's like the size of a Vienna sausage, which we Pinoys are more familiar of. Different kinds of bread, too, they're quite a handful. And yes of course, Swiss wines, there's Riesling X Sylvaner, Chasselas, Pinot Noir, and Merlot.
There's a lot, lot more actually that I haven't tried yet. There's this papet vaudois, carac, Swiss Meringue, Älplermagronen (Alpine herdsman's macaroni), Pizzoccheri, Polenta, saffron risotto, Bündner Nusstorte, Chur meat pie, Graubünden barley soup, Pizokel, damassine, the controversial absinthe, among many others I've never heard of.
Bon appetit!
10. Never underestimate Swiss quality.
"The internationally known traditions of Swiss manufacturers concerning perfection and innovation are proverbial."
The cantons of Zurich and Geneva won't be on the second and third slot respectively in the world's livable cities list (derived from Mercer's Quality of Living survey) if these two cities don't live up to their own quality standards.
BUT again, Swiss quality comes with a hefty price and there goes Zurich and Geneva also earning the second and third rank respectively in the world's expensive cities list. Let me show you the bills.

Peaches (fruit) benefits and nutrition. How peaches healthful in the case of Heart, cancer, and different other diseases?
In this blog, I will tell you the benefits of peaches. And how useful it is. And I will also explain the ingredients that are found in peaches. It would not be wrong to say that peaches, almonds, and cherries are family members.
There are many famous types of peaches. Red and white peaches are very famous. It is also used in various diseases. Improved digestion, beautiful skin and also safe in allergies. Let's explain it.
Fighter of peach (fruit) diseases
1.Cancer protection (peaches):
Like most fruits, peaches also have some compounds that are very useful for cancer prevention. Specifically, peaches have high levels of antioxidants. Peaches prevent the release of free radicals in the body. In fact, free radicals cause cancerous growth in the body. According to animal studies, the chemical compound in peaches works very well in the prevention of cancer in the chest.
Further research on peaches is needed which will benefit humanity greatly
2. Healthful Heart (Peaches):
Peaches have high amounts of potassium and vitamin C, and people who eat 4070 mg of potassium daily have a lower risk of heart disease than those who eat 1000 mg or less daily. Research on mice has shown that the use of peaches is very useful in blood pressure disorders. But what are its effects on humans right now? A proper blog that explains the use of certain things to make your heart healthy.
3.SKIN MOISTURE (Peaches):
However, the compounds found in peaches cause moisture in the skin. It protects the skin from 'dirt' sunshine and other environmental elements. It makes the skin shiny and beautiful. And protects your skin from allergies.

The Luz del Mundo (Light of the World) temple in Guadalajara's Colonia Hermosa Provincia has been inundated with faithful this week as church members from around the world converge to celebrate their yearly Holy Convocation.
The annual event, running from August 6 to 15, is going ahead amid a crisis for the church, with its leader Naason Joaquin languishing in jail in Los Angeles, California, while facing sexual abuse charges.
Joaquin is expected to deliver a message to more than 500,000 members of the church, many of whom have made the journey from other parts of Mexico and around the world to celebrate the church's "Santa Cena" communion at the denomination's stunning church in Colonia Hermosa Provincia, an architectural gem that is able to accommodate 10,000 worshippers. Luz del Mundo adherents believe their leader to be the divinely elected apostle of God.
The visitors are being housed in 62 local schools made available by the Jalisco government, as well as homes of church members in the Hermosa Provincia neighborhood.
Joaquin's next court appearance is scheduled for August 23. So far his lawyers have been unable to persuade the judge to reduce bail from the whopping $US50 million demanded by prosecutors, who believe Joaquin is a flight risk.

@NEStalgia You're absolutely right that mutations tend to make viruses less deadly because killing off the host is counter productive - but mutations are effectively random. Not planned out or anything. So it is entirely possible that the strain in Italy is more lethal.
Your last point about something in Italy potentially pushing it toward the more dangerous mode makes sense. There could be environmental factors that trigger it. Perhaps something in the air or water, or the weather or the presence or lack of some chemical or other microorganism.

Autonomy and Accountability – New Models of Institutional Autonomy
Presentation to the International Seminar "The University of the 21st Century – Emerging Models of Independence" Novi Sad, October 2005 Dr. Josef Lange, State Secretary, Ministry for Science and Culture of Lower Saxony, Hannover, Germany
Challenges by Changes Expansion of the higher education sector for more than one third of an age-group: "democratisation of higher education" Internationalisation of economy and science: "globalisation" Development of science based society: "knowledge economy" Competition for reputation, persons and funds Speed of change and innovations: science (research and development), organization, funding © J. Lange
Challenges for Universities
Competition (regional, national, international): reputation scientists, young researchers, students: "brain gain/ circulation" funding for research and teaching basic funding (on federal state's level) Concentration (staff and resources) on strengths by setting priorities and posteriorities Cooperation in all fields: strategic alliances Corporate identity in tension between individual and institutional autonomy © J. Lange
Challenges for Universities require (1)
Concepts and strategic planning: diversification according to different expectations of students labour market science (R & D) HEI's stakeholders (= society,state, foundation, members, etc.) Connecting universities and society: responsibility, accountability, periodic reporting to government, parliament, the public © J. Lange
Challenges for Universities require (2)
responsibility and accountability of universities for students (and their lifetime) quality of research, teaching and degrees public funds = taxpayers' money: effectivity and efficiency individual freedom of research and teaching development of knowledge and science problem-defining and -solving for society © J. Lange
Universities need autonomy in
Selecting and admitting students Hiring staff Financing from different sources: State, research funds, teaching funds = fees, private income (donations, own companies, etc.) Internal distribution of funding according to profiles and performance Organizing their internal structure according to different needs and expectations © J. Lange
Universities need Distance to the State: due to the speed of change in higher education and research politics and administration cannot organize science in an apropriate way Different models of autonomy according to the different legal, social and financial situation in various countries: individual solutions for countries and universities Diversification according to role and mission Setting priorities and posteriorities coordinated with other universities within the State © J. Lange
Tasks of Modern States concerning Universities in State Responsibility (1)
HE as a public good in public responsibility - ministry as a "holding" of State-universities Providing legal structures: - organisation follows tasks: individual solutions for universities, ensuring a common framework - personal responsibility and accountability: definition and differentiation of functions - advice, decision, control; - tension between professional management / leadership and academic participation ("demo-cracy" in university) © J. Lange
Tasks of Modern States concerning Universities in State Responsibility (2)
Providing resources, reliable for several years, according to - role and mission - performance in student / graduate numbers - differentiated to disciplines, research and develop-ment (incl. education & training of young acad.) - effectivity and efficiency of using funds - contract management between State and universities on several years Setting rules for university income from private sources © J. Lange
Quality Assurance of Higher Education Institutions
Regulation Quality of Allocation of resources contents, organi- Standards sation, results, Controlling processes Transparency - Consulting - Competition Evaluation/Accreditation © J. Lange
University of the future (1)
Improvement of quality and performance by competition: Individual profile through differenciation: adaptable struktures for persons - strategic planning for innovation and networking: internally, other universities, research institutes, companies, society Framework for technical, social, institutional, mental innovations: science = "expectation of the unexpected" © J. Lange
The University of the future (2)
develop an individual profile by institutional diver-sification and strategic cooperation work in and be organised for interdisciplinary groups - based on solid specialisation be open-minded for international and intercultu-ral cooperation and regard its local responsibility integrate information and communication tech-nology, supporting not substituting the campus develop and defend institutional autonomy and corporate identity to guarantee individual freedom © J.
