There are many opportunities in the stock market for investors and traders but it's really up to us on how to gauge it depending on the time horizon and risk appetite we set for ourselves. Common questions for new investors are; When is the best time to buy? What is the golden formula for stock-picking? When to know if the stock price is already cheap?
As of this writing, stock market is still on a downtrend as of last week's close of trading. It closed 7,078.20 from the 9,098.37 all time high in January this year. A 16% drop of the index, making it the worst performing stock market in the world. However, some analysts believe that our stock market is still expensive among Asian markets which are at 15x P/E and they expect that Philippine index may go down further to 6,600 level to catch up that average valuation.
Is it a bad thing? Maybe, maybe not. For me, short-term downtrend are good opportunity for investors to get in and buy. For others, it was just another bad day. This is often overlooked. While most people are waiting for the next uptrend, big financial institutions and wise investors are starting to buy and accumulate shares during price corrections. They are lurking around to look for stocks at a bargain. Once the market recovers, they are the winners! But, how do they do it?
Using fundamental analysis
"Buy stocks as you would groceries, you buy on sale"- Christopher Brown
Have you ever experienced the following scenario: you buy 1 kg of galunggong in Pasig Palengke at 70 pesos/kilo, only to find out they were available at 50 pesos/kilo just a few feet away? Aren't you disappointed at having to pay more for the same quality of galunggong?
The same applies to stocks.
If you buy a share of company "A" for 70 pesos and later on find out that the share of company "B", with better earning prospects is available for 50 pesos, it is bound to disappoint you.
So, how do you do bargain-hunting? Does the price justifies the current earnings or projected earning of the company? Does the current price of the stock makes sense?
Price to earnings ratio or what is popularly known as P/E ratio is the answer. It is a formula for valuing a company that measures its current price relative to its earnings per share. It simply means, how much investors are willing to pay for a 1 peso earning of a company.
It is also a good opportunity to spot for an undervalued company which might signal for a good buy or to see an overvalued company that might trigger for investors to sell their shares. It is very important to know that price is the amount you give. Value is what you get.
This is the formula:
P/E= current price÷ earnings per share (4 quarters/12 months)
There are credible tools today to get the financial report and financial data of the company such as investagrams, bloomberg, wsj.com, pse.com.ph, or your own brokerage platform where you can get the earnings per share (EPS) or P/E ratio itself. One of the easiest ways is PSE EDGE.
This is the annual financial report of Philippine National Bank (PNB). As we can see above, it posted a 5.70 earning per share for 2017 and 6.53 earning per share for 2018. If we are going to apply the formula, it will have 8.25x PE for 2018. As a rule of thumb, 20-25 P/E is the average range. It should also be closed to or lower than the P/E ratio of the Philippine index which is around 17x P/E today.
Things to remember:
1. P/E ratio is good when you compare one company to another on its similar sector such as banking,holdings,property,mining,etc.
One way to know when it is overpriced is when the average P/E ratio in that sector climb far above the average.
2. Growth stocks like Double Dragon (DD) and Xurpas (X) normally has higher P/E.
3. Companies that are losing money do not have P/E ratio or has a negative P/E.
4. A low P/E ratio doesn't always mean that the stock is already cheap.
It can also mean that people are not yet interested in the stock. Many investors made their fortunes spotting these ignored but fundamentally good stocks before the rest of the market discovered their true worth.
5. A high P/E ratio doesn't always mean that the stock is already expensive or overpriced.
It can also mean that investors are anticipating for a future significant earnings and they are willing to pay the price.
Using Technical Analysis
"Success occurs when opportunity meets preparation"- Zig Ziglar
If you are using Technical Analysis, where price is always the King, there are also ways to get the best price of the stock that you want to buy. During a sharp decline or when the general market is on a downtrend, it is normal that stock price would go down sharply. Traders and investors find it as an opportunity to spot a "battered stock".
A stock that has experienced a huge sell-off from large institutions or from the public, but remains giving consistent earnings with good fundamentals is likely to be the next candidate. This is when Relative Strength Index (RSI) comes into play.
RSI is an indicator that is widely-used in analyzing financial markets. It is momentum oscillator and it does measure the magnitude price movements. RSI has a scale from 1-100 and many traders like to use these two levels, the 30 and the 70 to spot stocks that are oversold and overbought.
Overbought= is when the stock is above 70 RSI. It means that the stock has experienced very strong buying. Above this area is also subject to profit-taking. However, RSI can stay on this area for an extended amount of time when it is bullish and the demand is high.
Oversold= when the stock is below 30 RSI. It means that the stock has experienced heavy-selling and it is a matter of time that the buying public will go back picking the stock. It is normal for a stock to stay on that range for a period of time on a downtrend.
This implies that when the RSI reaches oversold level and below, it is most likely that price movement will slow down and, possibly, overturn upward. Best time to buy is when RSI is starting to point-up.
The magic words in identifying a cheap stock depends upon you. P/E ratio and Relative Strength Index are best tools to use to improve your success in picking a good and promising stock. P/E ratio can give you an idea if the price of the stock justifies its earnings or its projected earning while RSI is used when you are looking for a good entry to buy a stock that has experienced a huge decline. Both have limitations but using them can help you in many ways.

Turtle Bayou
Description: This pretty and basically unspoiled bayou is quite close to Houston. Its character is a lot like the Big Thicket-style streams of points farther east. It is wooded with both hardwoods and pines and a lot of sandy bottoms. There is one put-in and take-out place, so you can paddle upstream a short distance (1 mile?), or downstream several miles (2?) to Lake Anahuac. A few homes/fishing shacks are along its course but it is basically unpopulated.
Directions: About 30 miles east of Houston on Interstate highway 10, exit at highway 61, "Hankamer". Go south on highway 61 a very short distance: just beyond the Exxon station on the right (east) side of the road is the entrance to White Park. White Park Church of Christ's sign is the most prominent one at this turn. Turn right in to the park staying to the right, past the rodeo arena, and to a parking area and boat ramp beyond. Put your boat in the bayou and you are off.
To your right from the ramp is upstream. You can paddle beyond the Interstate for perhaps a mile, when you'll have to turn around and come back. To the left, or downstream of the ramp, the bayou opens up and in about two miles empties into Lake Anahuac. At lower levels (1.5 on the gage) there is a beautiful white sandbar exposed on your left at the entrance to the lake. If you continue on to your right along the lake shores (you may have to stand well off the shore to find enough water to paddle in) for another mile or so you will come to a beautiful white sand beach which is "Bun's Beach". The park, according to the sign in early 2000, is only open June-September but is an OK place to land boats and look for birds, or be fooled by duck and geese decoys if they're still there, in the swamps behind the park.
Wind exposure is very high here on Lake Anahuac. With prevailing southerlies, this area has the longest reach (i.e., wind has greatest unobstructed distance to travel) so you should be very cautious about paddling when the wind is up.
To check for paddle-able levels, the Navigation District at (409)267-3541 is the place to call. This gauge is not yet automated. 4' is the "usual" level for the Lake.

Mary Kelly (b. 1941) is an American conceptual artist. Her work is frequently text-based, or text-heavy, with what she describes as "a specific relation between the meaning of the text, its materiality, and the site." [1] It is also highly theoretical, reflecting her second occupation: Professor of Art and Critical Theory at UCLA.
The image to the right is a detail from Post Partum Document, a six-part installation that documented Kelly's relationship with her son from birth to age 6. Post-Partum Document became a seminal work of "feminist art" – although Kelly herself prefers to think of it as "art informed by feminism." [2] Post Partum Document is seen as a physical testament to the feminist slogan "the personal is the political"; the work has been perceived as a political statement because it brought "private" elements of female experience – aspects of womanhood that have historically been marginalized – into a public space. When the installation was first shown at the Institute of Contemporary Arts (London) in 1976, Post Partum Document was considered highly controversial. Viewers were shocked by the display of dirty diapers, obsessive diary notes, and other material artifacts of motherhood.
Here, a soiled diaper on which Kelly has neatly typed the date, information about her son's nutritional intake, and details of his bowel movements. Kelly's obsessive documentation suggests maternal fetishization of the child, but Kelly ultimately investigates herself more thoroughly than her child. Her exploration of the everyday rises to the level of art precisely because of, rather than in spite of, its banality. Kelly's compulsive, comprehensive attention to minutiae recharacterizes the value of "women's work" by transforming it into "artist's work."

3D Stereo Vision,
How Stereo Blindness Affects More Than
Watching 3D Movies
Stereo blindness results when the eyes don't work together.
3D stereo vision, or stereopsis, describes the depth sensation of successfully merging two pictures that are slightly different into one image. When the eyes don't create one 3D image by working together, the resulting condition is stereo blindness.
Are you aware that stereo blindness affects much more than the ability to enjoy a 3D movie?
Stereo blindness can affect your ability to play sports, like baseball, and read.
This condition, often affecting the way that the eyes and brain work together as a team, can negatively affect athletic performance causing a child with this condition to have trouble playing sports. In fact, many parents don't realize that their son or daughter is having a problem until they see the child playing organized sports.
Like many other children with visual development problems, the child will track the ball with only one eye, moving his head, and frequently missing. Both on the field and off, he will feel ashamed that he cannot keep up. The good news is that if this condition is diagnosed early, it is correctable.
A functional vision evaluation, performed by an behavioral optometrist, is needed in order to diagnose problems like stereo blindness. Without a comprehensive eye exam, doctors are not able to get a complete picture of the problem. Worse, many parents, and even public school teachers, do not know what to look for.
Typically, the child's performance on the field is poor, and the child keeps making the same mistakes, both at bat and in the outfield.
The prescribed vision therapy frequently consists of weekly sessions with a behavioral optometrist or a vision therapist, under the supervision of an optometrist. This therapy may last several months. The patient will be instructed to perform daily practice exercises, usually lasting 15-30 minutes each day, in order to correct for the fact that the eyes and brain are not working together as a team. Drawing lines and circles, tracking moving objects, and developing peripheral vision skills to force the image processing centers in the brain to work together in tandem with the eyes.
To perform the eye teaming exercises, patient with 3D stereo blindness will require vision therapy which will include wearing 3D glasses and thick, yoked prisms that resembled coke-bottle glasses in order to develop spatial localization. The duration of treatment will depend on the patient's condition.
By the end of his vision therapy sessions, the child is expected to throw and catch the baseball with improved accuracy and consistency. His batting average should improve tremendously, and he should hit the ball better and farther.
Many vision therapy patients are able to see results within a few weeks. The behavioral optometrist will not only diagnose the problem, but will develop a vision therapy program that goes right to heart of the problem. While the daily exercises will take time out of the child's day, the results were undeniable.
Thousands of youngsters who do vision therapy receive some type of help with reading, athletics, with most seeing some marked improvement. Many take up reading long books for the first time, while others see positive changes in their personality.
Parents who notice that their child tilts their head to the side or closes one eye when reading–or who suffer headaches or rub their eyes while staring at the blackboard–should see an optometrist who specializes in developmental optometry right away. Other symptoms can include frustration, trouble focusing, headaches, or an inability to read for more than 20 minutes at a time.
With optometric vision therapy you or your child will be able to use 3D stereo vision and see in a whole new way.
Read Matt's story and learn how he was able to experience 3D for the first time as an adult because of vision therapy.
Are You Sure You've Got Stereo Vision?
It's hard to know what you're missing, if you've never had it. Do you see with both your eyes? Are your two eyes similar or different in sight?
This Is Just A Test — of Your Stereo Vision System
Are both your eyes turned on and working together as a team? Try this easy test and find out if you are a good candidate for 3D viewing. It's The Framing Game and it only takes a minute!y.
In order to see 3D your brain has to use the visual information from both eyes. If the two eye views are too different and cannot be matched up, the brain will be forced to make a choice. It will reject all or part of the information from one eye. The brain can suppress or turn off visual
information it cannot use. The Framing Game can tell you whether both your eyes are TURNED ON at the same time. The illustration to the left demonstrates what should happen.
- Center your nose over the brown eye on the right.
- Focus your eyes on the single brown eye.
- Put your free thumb in front of your nose.
- Continue to focus on the eye. If both eyes are on, you will see two thumbs framing one eye.
- Now, switch your focus to your thumb. You should see two eyes framing one thumb.
Both your eyes are ON and you are an excellent candidate for 3D viewing fun.
Follow the instructions again and pay close attention to where you're focusing your eyes.
If you wear lenses, try it without them.
Can't see two thumbs (or two eyes)? Or does one thumb disappear and reappear? Or does one thumb appear faint — like a ghost image? You may want to consider having a comprehensive eye examination which includes the testing of binocular vision. To locate a vision care professional in your area, consult the Directory of Vision Care Providers
Don't give up. You don't have to have perfect binocular vision to attempt 3D viewing. Viewing the 3D images at this site can reinforce and strengthen your binocular skills. Learn about how eye doctors use 3D images to improve vision.
Please note: In-office therapy under the direction of a behavioral optometrist using prisms, filters and lenses, as used with our patients, is far more effective than home-based therapy.

>I used to be one of those people who wanted as many "friends" as possible on Facebook. "Oh! You were a freshman when I was a senior and I think I kind of remember you! Send friend request!" I mostly did this to stalk people and see what they are up to now. Once I felt like I learned enough about them, I would delete them. Don't judge — you know you have done this, too.
I had a whole bunch of people I went to grammar school and with and high school with on there, but I blocked all of them from appearing on my news feed because most of their updates did nothing but annoy me. Then I started blocking them from seeing my updates. And then I began wondering why I even had them as a friend if we weren't communicating in any way whatsoever.
Thus began my first friendscaping endeavor. I deleted several people and felt better afterward. There were still a lot of people on there that probably shouldn't have been, but I felt like I didn't NOT like them so there was no harm in keeping them.
Two of these people were my sorority sisters. We were pretty close in college and for the year or so after I graduated. We took a mini-vacay to FL together and used to have sleepovers and whatnot. It was good times. We started naturally drifting apart when one of them decided to become a bitch, and unfortunately she was the Common Friend — the one that we needed there for us all to get along and have things to talk about. So, with her gone, the other girl and I talked less and less frequently.
There have been lots of wall posts and text messages about how "we HAVE to get together!" but I haven't seen her in probably 3 years. I recently found out via their status updates that they are not only talking again, but going to Miami together in a few weeks. I'll admit I was kind of surprised, but not really hurt or anything because, hello? I'm married now and not exactly a prime candidate for drinking and clubbing and other shenanigans. I get it.
But then last week I got together for dinner with two different sorority sisters. I posted about it on FB, and one of the other girls commented, "Thx for the invite." Really? You're going to get snarky because you weren't invited? Not that it matters, but I wasn't the one who made the plans, so it wasn't my place to invite more people. Naturally, I took the passive-aggressive route and deleted the comment because Lord knows I hate confrontation.
Yesterday I was again looking through my friends list and wondering why I had these people on it if we don't even talk, or if I don't have any plans of getting in touch with them any time soon. So, I deleted everyone that I haven't had any contact with since finding them/them finding me. Now I don't have to hide anything from anyone on my list (except one of my nosy coworkers who doesn't have access to my status updates or my wall).

VP Naidu expresses gratitude, assures to live up to people's expectations
| Updated: Aug 23, 2017 11:20 IST
New Delhi [India], August 11 (ANI): Vice-President M. Venkaiah Naidu, who was sworn-in to the honourable position today morning, has said the beauty and majesty of India's Parliamentary democracy is that it can lift a commoner like him to an exalted position and offer opportunities to discharge onerous responsibilities. Addressing the Upper House, Naidu on Friday recalled how he first entered the Rajya Sabha in 1998 and never in the faintest of his ideas, he thought that one day he would have the honour of presiding over as its chairperson. "When I first entered this august house as a member in 1998, I never had even the faintest of any idea that one day I would have the honour of presiding over as its chairperson. This is the beauty and majesty of our Parliamentary democracy and its strength as well. It can lift a commoner like me to such an exalted position and offer opportunities to discharge onerous responsibilities that go with this position," he said. Expressing gratitude towards people for reposing faith and confidence in him, Naidu said, "I would like to assure all of you that it shall be my endeavour to live up to your expectations." Briefly reflecting on the origin and the role of the federal chamber of Parliament of India, Naidu said, "With its roots in the Monteague-Chemlsford Report of 1918, the Council of States first came into being in 1921 further to the Government of India Act, 1919, as a second chamber of the then legislature with a restricted franchise." Naidu said as the world's largest democracy and fastest growing economy, India needs efficient and effective legislation to administer its processes, mobilise resources, build partnerships, ensure socio-economic equality etc. "Time is not on our side. Even after 70 years of Independence, we are grappling with basic issues of poverty, illiteracy, inequality, agrarian and rural development challenges, abuse of power etc., even as some countries similarly placed at the time of our attaining freedom, are marching ahead with a lot more focus and a sense of urgency, marshalling their energies in a much better manner," he added. Vice-President Naidu further stressed that for the success of an individual, institution or a nation "management of time is crucial". "We don't have the luxury of time. We need to make up for the lost opportunities over the last seven decades, if our country were to realise its full potential, given its huge stock of human and natural resources and other advantages," the Vice-President said. He said that the august house meets for much less than a hundred days per year and we should make the best use of this available time in furtherance of the cause of our country and the people. "We take pride in our diversity and the unity that flows from it. If that be the case, can't we be united in the pursuit of common national goals and in enabling the Young India realise its aspirations? Our democratic polity allows flourishing of different ideas and thoughts on a range of socio-economic issues. But adversarial politics should not be allowed to adversely impact the functioning of the Parliament, which in turn impacts the progress of our nation," he added. The Vice-President further said that political democracy is a sacred instrument for pursuit of national interests. "But a fractious polity, finding its echo in the legislatures, impedes the forward march of our country and the people. No chamber of our Parliamentary democracy can be allowed to be an extension of such fractious polity," he said. Naidu further said that every election gives the winner a mandate and the opposition, the responsibility of ensuring accountability of the executive. "The Parliamentary democracy is all about numbers. But it does not necessarily mean that we reduce the functioning of our legislatures to a mere number game. The play of numbers should stop with the formation of governments and thereafter, it should be resorted to only in the rarest of the rare cases. An emerging economy like ours should be guided more by a shared destiny in the functioning of our legislatures," VP Naidu added. Highlighting that the people of the country wish the Parliament to be the voice of sanity echoing their concerns and finding solutions to their problems, Naidu said that somehow there is a growing concern and resentment among the people over the way the Parliament is functioning. "We need to seriously introspect over this palpable discontent with the people saying we are not doing enough still. We need to set an example for state legislatures by making suitable amendments to the way we speak and act here," he said. "Effective functioning of the House is all about time and space management. Both the treasury and the opposition benches have defined space and time slots. We need to adjust ourselves within these set limits of time and space in the interest of better results. All that is needed is an attitude of give and take on the part of both the sides. This is possible through strategising for the effective functioning of the House rather than for its disruption. This needs an enlightened approach on the part of all concerned," he added. Naidu said that it is unfortunate that obstruction and disruption of the proceedings is increasingly being chosen as the first parliamentary option in our legislatures across the country. "This has serious implications for our parliamentary democracy. This option needs to be immediately replaced by a quest for effective debates and discussion to resolve issues and finding solutions to the problems being faced by our people," he said. Further raising concern, the Vice-President said that we don't have to do different things to make good use of the opportunity of being members of this august house, all that we need to do is to do things differently and that is by intensely and passionately debating and discussing the issue rather than resorting to obstruction and disruption. "I firmly believe in the Opposition having its say and the Government of the day, its way. This essentially means both the sides respecting and accommodating each other in the process," he said. "All that I can and would like to do is to try to make you all speak and act to enable effective functioning of the House. I certainly can't be like a headmaster herding the errant students on the path of discipline. I know for sure that it won't work that way. It shall be my endeavour to promote an atmosphere of cordiality and trust in each other. Our nation needs a new normal in the functioning of our legislatures. It shall be my endeavour to enable this august house reach such a new normal with the cooperation of all of you," he added. He said that nation building through all round and speedy socio-economic development is not the sole prerogative and responsibility of the Governments of the day and that it is a national task requiring national effort. "The Opposition is an important stakeholder in this endeavour, while legislatures are the effective enabling forums. The best way of enforcing accountability of the executive by the opposition is to engage the Government and corner them in an informed debate. I am of the view that executive is the gainer if Question Hour is abandoned or a discussion on a matter of immediate public concern is derailed. The executive also needs to acknowledge that it is in their interest to take opposition on board since any legislation with the constructive support of opposition enhances the public esteem and acceptability of the laws made. A new normal in the functioning of our legislatures is possible with this enlightened approach," he said. He further urged the members of the House to keep in mind the poorest and the most deprived before you say or do anything in the House. "Let us be guided by the shining principles of our Constitution, the ideals of freedom struggle, the noble thoughts of great souls like Mahatma Gandhi, Dr. B.R.Ambedkar and all other leaders who gave their sweat and blood for bringing our country this far. Always be reminded of the distance our nation still needs to travel before it gets due place in the comity of nations and ensure smile on the face of every citizen. Let us be guided by the right of the people for a better future," he said. Assuring all that it shall be his earnest endeavour to uphold the dignity of the Office of Vice-President of India and Chairman of Rajya Sabha and live up to the trust people have reposed in me, he said, "I am at your service and always open to your suggestions for improving the functioning of this august House as per your collective wisdom."

Is it normal to have swelling after a 35% facial peel?
Janie Shelton (Mcdonough, GA) on Dec 7, 2011
You may want to stay in touch with your doctor in case you swell after a peel. Too much swelling could indicate an allergic reaction.
Robert Strimling (Las Vegas, NV) on Dec 7, 2011
Yes, some sweliing; but, you better go see your treating physician in person for any concerns, such as this.
Jody Levine (New York, NY) on Dec 7, 2011
There are different types of facial peels and the results and healing process differ based on the type of peel administered. Glycolic peels stimulate new growth of skin and collagen by decreasing the bond that holds dead skin cells on the surface. This allows dead cells to be removed gradually, leaving behind a layer of smoother and softer skin. The goal of glycolic peels is to build the strength of the peel gradually to avoid any peeling or swelling. There is another type of facial peel, TCA Peel which is a deeper, more aggressive chemical treatment that addresses more serious skin issues. These peels correct sun damage, hyperpigmentation, in addition to correcting fine lines, and tightening and firming the facial skin. With a TCA peel, you should expect peeling, redness, and minor swelling for 1-2 weeks.
David Goldberg (New York, NY) on Dec 7, 2011
Yes. This is a normal response. There is usually redness, some swelling and peeling following this peel.

Ok. Not literally…well, maybe just a little bit.
This was actually taken from a post I read a few days ago from Help 4 Your Family. The writer is a therapist who works with families and children that have been diagnosed with mental health disorders that she's supposed to "fix' (whatever that means). But, before you say, 'that doesn't apply to me', hear me out…
Last week, I posted about one of my dilemmas with parenting which is discipline. As I mentioned then, I didn't really have a good (in my opinion) example of that as a child and so, I'm always striving for ways to change that as well as beating myself up for when I don't do it the right way. So she mentioned that parents are always coming to her to tell her about these fears and this is what she said she tells them, 'Do not worry. Your children probably are already "messed up." If they are not yet, they will be soon. Just like the rest of us. '
This had me laughing a little for a second until I thought about what she said. Her statement was so simple and yet, reading it was like a light bulb going off in my head…"Nobody is perfect".
I think it's much easier to learn from someone that is more relatable then it is to learn from someone that is trying to be "perfect" all the time. In fact, it may even make you want to do the opposite of what they tell you because what they are saying seems so out of reach.
All of this is just to say that if you're a young mom or even an older mom and you constantly beat yourself up because you hollered at your child or told them you didn't feel like hearing a story at the moment, do not think your child is ruined. They will most likely not remember it and will just see that you are not a robot!
Look at it this way, the fact that you even care so much shows that your child has the best parent they could ever have!

Open Letter of former ABS-CBN correspondent Ira V. Panganiban to BIR commissioner Kim Jacinto Henares regarding the "lien" and garnishment order to the bank assets and bank accounts of Manny Pacqiuao
An open letter addressed to Bureau of Internal Revenue Commissioner Kim Henares by journalist Ira Panganiban goes viral on Facebook after it criticized the latter's cherry-picking on who to prosecute.
In his letter, Panganiban defended the boxing champ Manny Pacquiao whose banks accounts were frozen following a ₱2.2 billion tax case after his failure to report the millions of dollars in taxes he paid in the US.
His open letter was first shared in his Facebook account garnering more than 5.9k shares and more than 4.5k likes. On Twitter, the letter was tweeted repeatedly especially among local celebs.
Panganiban, who was a former ABS-CBN correspondent and now a newscaster for Inquirer Radio, also questioned why BIR is not keen on looking at Lucio Tan "who owes the country more than ₱5-billion pesos in tax."
Check new Jobs posts in PilipinasMall.com Jobs Board
Here's the full letter:
Dear Kim Henares,
I do not doubt your sincerity to collect taxes from every Filipino, living or dead.
I do not even doubt your integrity in making sure that you are able to collect the proper taxes from everyone.
I am however questioning your motives and arbitrary choice in the personalities you choose to prosecute.
I am going to cite one particular person who has been on the BIR's radar as a perennial tax evader for the last 20-years with cases going in and out of court.
His name is Lucio Tan and he owes the country more than ₱5-billion pesos in tax liabilities decided on numerous times by the Supreme Court as executory and final and yet no garnishment order was ever made until his petition reaches the SC, who would then reverse their decisions time and again.
Lucio Tan was never known for his philanthropy or good business practices. He authored the contractualization of PAL and Asia Brewery employees which was not only detrimental to Filipino Labor but also to taxes that could be collected from these workers had they been regular employees.
Lucio Tan is also accused of ill-gotten wealth from his Marcos days, and yet he continues to enjoy his money.
Congressman Manny Pacquiao's case is not even at the High Court and his earnings have already been garnished.
You have been given certified true copies of Pacman's tax payments in the US and yet you refuse to recognize this and insist on originals which I believe, but I may be mistaken, even US citizens have no access to.
And to think that Pacquiao earned his money through honest, literally blood, sweat and tears. And he is one of about ten persons who insist in keeping his money in the Philippines because he is a patriot.
He could have stashed it somewhere you cannot reach if he had things to hide, but he kept it here, so our economy can make use of it.
You cannot even freeze the money of politicians involved in the PDAF scam but you can do this to an ordinary man who managed to rise above all of you through hard work, guts, integrity and the work of his own hands.
And that is why your integrity is rapidly being eroded, because you don't seem to think anymore. You just grab the first victim that cannot fight you.
Because even if Pacquiao is a Congressman, he is not connected to the old boys club and so does not have the clout of the Tan's, Sy's, Dy's and others.
Oh, and Lucio Tan did give over 100 million to Noynoy's election kitty while Pacquiao was with the opposition.
I guess we know now the motivations don't we?
Yours disgustedly,
Your Boss's Boss

RSA has released a new version of its Card Manager software to centrally manage various security authentication tools.Unveiled at the Gartner IT security summit in London, the package is designed to allow business leaders to manage numerous security credentials, such as usernames, passwords and digital certificates, in one central management platform, according to RSA.
It also aims to help IT security managers enrol and identify users, install software security credentials, renew and suspend credentials, print smart cards and expedite replacements.
"Enterprises [can achieve] their potential by strengthening security through the use of diverse credentials," said Christopher Young, vice-president and general manager of the identity and access assurance group at RSA.
"Unified management of an enterprise's mix of authentication types across the entire credential lifecycle is essential to mitigating security risk."
The software is fully integrated with RSA Authentication Manager, a two-factor authentication tool for issuing and managing other devices within Card Manager, such as smart card tokens and hardware authenticators.
The new version of RSA Card Manager is available now for RSA SecurID two-factor authentication customers. Pricing depends on package.

And so we received the mysounds from Essen, and went to listen and talk about them. We talked about their physical characteristics, as loudness or lenght; about some of their other, more complex traits, as if they were pleasant, annoying or subtle; and we also closed our eyes and tried to imagine what kind of scenes or sensations these sounds produced on us. You will find the participants answers at the comments section, Essen ;)
And after this, we moved onto an introduction to Audacity and its tools -they always love the envelope tool. Our plan was to do a selection of sounds and attempt to do a small composition -the soundscape- all while looking at possible compositional strategies. The strategies we saw were, repetition, crescendo and decrescendo (fadein, fadeout), multilayering, and paying attention at the intensity curves of the composition as if it was a movie.
We cut some sounds and alternated the pieces to create an effect, that later became rhytmic; we used what we believed to be some sort of marble as a transition, and finished it with a a sonic burst that the class really enjoyed, and got us applauding :D Needless to say, our time went quick, but we think we came up with a well-thought, tiny composition. Listen and enjoy!
my title suggestion would be: "the death of an impatient fly" ;-)Posted on January 24th, 2013 at 12:10

Alcoholism Facts
Alcoholism facts are important. Battling alcoholism can be very hard for a person. Alcoholism means that a person has developed a dependence on alcohol on functioning for basic daily tasks. Understanding alcoholism and the struggles a person may deal with daily can be difficult. A lot of people who will never understand and won't take the time to understand can be very negative. If you or someone you know are suffering from alcoholism it is important to be aware of the facts and understand what alcoholism is about.
Alcoholism Facts and Information
- It is more common that you think. Alcohol is the most highly abused drug in the United States. According to a 2012 study by the National Institutes of Health, 7.2 percent of American adults have an alcohol use disorder. This is more than 27 million individuals. If you are struggling, you are certainly not alone.
- Withdrawal symptoms can kill you. This is uncommon unless you are a long-term, chronic drinker or have had serious withdrawal symptoms in the past. Anyone who is detoxing and develops severe physical symptoms, such as a high fever or tremors, must see a doctor immediately.
- It's progressive. People don't have one drink and suddenly become alcoholics. Dependence develops over time, leading to more severe health problems and loss of control. However, a person can suffer from alcohol poisoning on his or her first drinking occasion, depending on the consumption level.
- The term "alcoholism" refers specifically to alcohol dependence. People who are dependent on alcohol have tolerance, cravings, and withdrawal. Others who have problems in their lives due to their alcohol consumption fall under the umbrella of "alcohol abuse." Alcohol abuse can progress to alcohol dependence over time.
- Alcohol and depression don't mix. While a lot of people drink to "feel better," in the long run they will likely feel worse. Alcohol slows the central nervous system, which can compound depression, anxiety and other forms of mental stress, especially in chronic drinkers. Drinking while taking antidepressants can make things even worse.
- Alcoholism can be fatal. Over 88,000 Americans lose their lives due to alcohol each year, at an average of 30 years prematurely. This includes 5,000 youth under 21. Nearly 200,000 youth went to the ER in 2008 due to injuries sustained as a result of alcohol abuse.
- Alcohol changes your brain. Your brain physically adapts to your environment so you perform better at whatever you're doing, but when you consistently drink alcohol, your brain may interpret this as a new environment and change nerve cells and brain connections to help you function better with alcohol in your system.
- Alcohol affects men and women differently. Men and women metabolize alcohol differently due to stomach enzymes, hormones, the ratio of muscle to fat, and water concentration in the body. Women absorb more alcohol and metabolize it more slowly, and they're also at greater risk for long-term damage from alcohol. Men are more likely to drink excessively and simultaneously engage in high-risk behaviors, which leads to a higher incidence of alcohol-related deaths and hospitalizations.
- Alcohol abuse and alcoholism are different. Alcohol abuse is drinking in a manner that causes problems in a person's life. Some examples include neglecting responsibilities at work or home, continuing to drink even though it's causing relationship problems, or experiencing legal problems (like getting a driving under the influence charge) because of drinking.
These are just some of the alcoholism facts that need to be known. Alcohol abuse is common, and alcohol is the most commonly used addictive substance in the United States.
Getting Help for Alcoholism
If you or someone you love may be suffering from alcohol abuse or addiction, it is important to learn the alcoholism facts. If you have other questions or want more information, do not hesitate to call for help today!

In 2016, the seminal artist EVA HESSE garnered national attention with an exhibit at the Whitney, an exhibit at Hauser Wirth & Schimmel in DTLA and with the opening of the film EVA HESSE , also featured at four Laemmle venues. The documentary, directed by Marcie Begleiter and produced by Karen Shapiro, was the first feature-length examination of Hesse's life and work.
Laemmle's Art in the Arthouse proudly presents an encore exhibit of ARCHIVING HESSE at the Royal starting on November 1, 2017. The exhibit, which premiered at the Monica Film Center last year, includes photography featured in the film. It showcases the work of photographer and raconteur, BARBARA BROWN, who, from 1962-1965, chronicled Hesse and the other luminaries that made up the Canal St. scene of New York's Lower Eastside.
Unfortunately, most of Brown's negatives were destroyed in a bizarre train fire and eternally lost. But we are pleased to present some surviving photos that capture the artist in particularly revealing moments. Interwoven are two images from Hesse's 1968 solo exhibition at the Fishbach Gallery taken by NORMAN GOLDMAN.
About Eva Hesse: In 1938, at three years old, EVA HESSE was put on the kindertransport to escape Nazi Germany. She arrived in New York to reunite with her family, but seven years later lost her mother to suicide.
Hesse went on to study art and design at Yale University. As an artist, she had a unique ability to alchemize her personal tragedies into searing and poetic works. Based mainly in New York, Hesse and her husband Tom Doyle briefly relocated their studio to Kettwig Germany where she transitioned from painter to sculptor.
"Stop [thinking] and just do!" This strong note circa 1965 from her mentor Sol LeWitt opened Hesse up to an artistic stream of sculptures, paintings, drawings, and happenings. She incorporated industrial materials such as cord, wire, yarn, and latex to create magnificent walls sculptures that commanded attention. Hesse soon became a major figure in the post AbEx landscape movement. Tragically, Hesse died of brain cancer at age 34. She lives on in her works, which are displayed in museums worldwide.

Rocky Mountain Roller Girls would like to introduce "Paws for the Cause," our first newsletter promotion of our neighbors and partner, Rocky Mountain Feline Rescue. This newsletter will feature the foster kittens of two of our RMRG Skaters, Sassy Bee Otch and Nintendoll. Fostering animals is a great way to volunteer and serve your community, and also get to enjoy the pet experience without actually committing to owning one (or 7). Animals need fostered for many different reasons, in the case of Bee's kitten's because they are very young and need more attention than an older cat.
Bee is currently fostering 2 brothers named Ellis and Patton (but, says Bee, "We usually call Ellis "Twinkle Toes," because the only white on him is on the tips of his back toes on one foot."). Fosters don't always come named and after adoption, people can change their names, which is easier with a kitten rather than an adult cat who already knows their name. Both brothers are just 8 weeks old and just over 2 lbs. Bee and her family are doing a great job brining these boys up to weight, since they were around 1 pound when they were first brought home.
Bee says, "Ellis and Patton are best buddies and a bonded pair. They play hard together, and they also enjoy playing with our dog who is quite gentle with them considering he's a young pup. Their purr motors are excellent, and they love to be snuggled after they tire themselves out."
Doll and her manpanion David got their foster, Kate, last Friday. They opted for an adult because, "we already have another kitty and we weren't sure if we could handle a litter!" While Kate is an adult, she was a foster candidate because of some medical issues she has.
Doll explained to us what that looks like: "Kate possibly has IBD, Irritable Bowel Disease. That means her tummy has a hard time with most food. When we got her, she came with the food that didn't make her sick. Unfortunately, it was also food she doesn't want to eat. The first weekend we had her, she acted completely normal except she starved herself. She. Wouldn't. Eat. One. Bite."
As a result she ended up going back to the vet and having two blood draws and an IV.
"She went home with some new food that we aren't sure about. She eats it for now – great! But she also could react very badly to it. So it may be touch and go for her in these next months. Here's hoping we succeed in keeping her healthy!"
"Kate is the sweetest cat I've ever lived with," Doll told us, "She will take all the pets, sits in your lap, and even lets me pet her tummy! She is 3 years old and the tiniest full grown cat."
Bee and Doll both acknowledge that that fostering can be difficult (especially Bee explaining to her daughter that no, they can't keep all their kitties!)
Doll adds that, especially with a special needs animal, "It really is emotionally hard. You are basically signing up for a cat/kittens in need of care. Sure, it takes extra time, but it gives you an added bond too!"
However, "The bottom line is," Doll smiled, "You will fall in love immediately." If you're interested in adopting these or any other felines, RMFR has an application and adoption fee of $120 for 1 kitten and $180 for 2 kittens. That fee covers vaccinations, de-worming, spay/neuter, and microchip.
"If someone wants to visit my foster kittens and see if they like them, they are more than welcome and then an early application will give them priority on those kittens. Otherwise, they can come visit all the available kittens in the shelter. They get a tour of the facility and the staff can help them look at kittens or adult cats that will work well within their household," Bee explains.
If you're interested in adopting, fostering or volunteering, make a trip to Rocky Mountain Feline Rescue at 2390 S Delaware Street, or stop by their table at one of the upcoming RMRG games just across the street at the Rollerdome.

One of the main documents governing the majority of New York City's co-op buildings is the antithesis of the well-known Oldsmobile ad: it is your father's proprietary lease, and many of its parts are not exactly of-the-minute. Sponsors of most New York co-op buildings modeled their proprietary leases on a document that dates back to the 1970s, and although the detailed provisions of the lease vary from one co-op to another, on the whole, they are rather uniform - in some respects, according to many in the industry, uniformly in need of an update.
This leaves co-op boards with two choices, says Marc Luxemburg, president of the Council of New York Cooperatives and Condominiums (CNYC), summing them up by analogy. "You either keep repairing the car and getting new parts, or get a new car," he says.
Most real estate attorneys agree that the current lease is antiquated, but there is debate as to whether it's best to go forward making repairs (or amendments) as needed, or to junk the old document and begin anew.
Luxemburg is the co-drafter of a modernized proprietary lease that was officially adopted by the CNYC this summer. "On a drafting level, there isn't a clause in the old lease that couldn't stand some improvement," he says. "But it's only about 20 to 25 percent of the old lease that is in need of drastic revision."
Other industry pros beg to differ. Marcie Murray, a partner at Manhattan law firm Deutsch Tane Waterman & Wurtzel, opposes the adoption of a new lease. " I don't view its creation as a major improvement over the existing lease, with which cooperative attorneys are so familiar," says Murray. "Each cooperative is entitled to a lease tailored to its situation. Many cooperatives are now amending - or have already amended - certain lease provisions they've found most in need, and have a good working document. I have not yet had a client who is willing to pay for the detailed review of the "˜new' form of lease (as compared to the standard form), without which no responsible attorney could recommend its adoption."

p.s.: I didnt create a build directory for the OCE package, so it's been configured and now building on the same source directory. When the make is finished, where would I find the install file? (i'm really not good with make, as usually I use ./config && make && make install)-- matplotlib-1.1.1 has been found
This is not error.one more thing that I don't seem to understand is the error line:

Cmake-gui reports it as an error, hence marked in red. Can i ignore it?This is not error.
This is not error it is just (cmake-gui) telling you new configuration variables where found/added.Cmake-gui reports it as an error, hence marked in red. Can i ignore it?
I guess whatever you are getting from repositories is OLD and yes it will make sense to use latest OCE. I am guessing you are getting OCC from repositories and that is why the file is not there. Anyway yes why not after you compile OCE install it! I am just not sure what would be the best option. I would suggest for you to use checkinstall but on home page last news if from 2011 and there is special note for Slackware users:So. would this be the final indication that I need to install OCE?

Are There Lessons From South Korea's Presidential Election For Taiwan?
The victory of Moon Jae-In as president of South Korea draws strong parallels to Taiwan, with the election of a center-left president put into power after a social movement which galvanized much of society. But we can observe where structural parallels between Taiwan and South Korea end, given that as a center-left political candidate, Moon is skeptical of closer ties between South Korea and the US...

Here is my first attempt. I'll have to play with this again in the future. It bears no resemblance at all to the original frost. I do want to take advantage of that frost but just get playing and something different happens. It's amazing how plans change when your muse gets involved. :)

By all accounts, Chevrolet has a hit on its hands with the new C7 Corvette Stingray Coupe but already the automotive journos are looking to the future as they ask what's next for GM's halo car.
Earlier this week was the report from Motor Trend that the C7 Corvette ZR1 could be packing 700 horsepower.
Now from Road & Track, we get the opportunity to see just what a C7 Corvette ZR1 might look like via this rendering from the talented Theo Chin/Chris Doane Automotive.
Taking design cues from the C6 Corvette ZR1 and how it differentiates from the standard C6 Coupe, this rendering imagines a C7 Corvette ZR1 with a carbon fiber front splitter and rocker panels on the side while the rear boasts the ZR1's larger carbon fiber spoiler. The front quarter panel vents are also changed from one single vent outlet to two and the C6-styled widebody rear brake scoops behind the doors return as well. The ZR1 badge and blue brake calipers complete the look.
Click here for a larger version of the rendering.
Although not detailed, we have to assume that the new ZR1 would continue Chevy's aggressive use of carbon fiber for the fenders and rear hatch to get that weight even lower and perhaps some slightly larger wheels featuring Michelin rubber will increase the stance.
The one design feature not carried over is the see-through window on the hood to show off the 638-hp LS9's supercharger cover. We can't decide whether its omission is a good thing or a bad thing.
Overall, we think this is a very good representation of the what the next Corvette ZR1 (or Z06 for that matter) might look like.
Plus that color is killer and reminds us of a metallic version of War Bonnet Yellow.
Do you like what you see or would you rather Chevy went in a different direction for the future performance variants of the Corvette? Hit the comments and let us know or pop over to Road & Track to see the the rear rendering as well.

SAD, nostalgic days for Toronto. On February 13th, its Maple Leafs ice-hockey team will play for the last time at their 68-year-old home, the downtown Maple Leaf Gardens.
Hockey apart, the venerable building—it still lacks air-conditioning—in its time has played host to showbiz stars from Duke Ellington through Elvis Presley to Maria Callas and Rudolf Nureyev, Jimi Hendrix and many more. But hockey was its glory: the Maple Leafs played (and lost) there on its opening night, in November 1931.
The building will survive, as a venue for minor shows; and it has been given heritage status, so its 1930s-modern exterior cannot be altered. But something is gone: the Maple Leafs, to a glossy 1999 arena, it too downtown, but five subway stops and seven decades of sentiment away.

Fontana offers Kyle Busch best chance at NASCAR win No. 200
It shouldn't come as any surprise Kyle Busch's best opportunity to pick up NASCAR win No. 200 will be in an Xfinity Series race.
After all, of his 199 wins across NASCAR's three national series – Cup, Xfinity and Trucks – 94 have come in what is now called the Xfinity Series. His 94 career wins are 45 more than next-best, Mark Martin (49 wins).
Busch's winning percentage is actually higher in Trucks (he's won 53 times in 147 career starts), but 347 series starts ranked second to Cup (502).
In addition, Busch leads all drivers with six Xfinity wins at Auto Club Speedway, including three from the pole. Though he hasn't visited Victory Lane in his last three series starts at the track, he has led laps and battled for the win and finished no worse than third.
In total, Busch has 18 series starts at the track, six wins, 12 top-five and 15 top-10 finishes. He's won both of the Xfinity races he's entered so far this weekend (Las Vegas and Phoenix).
"Anytime we show up at the track we have a pretty strong chance to win. The Joe Gibbs Racing Xfinity Series program has been very impressive for the last few years and I know what these guys are capable of putting together each week," Busch said.
"At a track like Auto Club – that's worn and has seen a lot of racing – sometimes we're just racing the track and having to make sure we're set up to be there at the end.
"We came close to a win back in 2016. We led a lot of laps and were having a good day and a blown tire at the end cost us a win. In 2017, we just never quite got the set-up right for a long run."
Regardless if he reaches the win Saturday, there will still be a chance on Sunday.
Busch is fresh off his first Cup Series win of the season last weekend at Phoenix and has three Cup victories at Auto Club, with the most recent coming in 2014. He started second and finished third in this race one year ago.
Like seven-time Cup champion, Jimmie Johnson, Busch also earned his first Cup series win at Auto Club Speedway.
Asked last weekend about assessing his chances of reaching win No. 200 in California, Busch said: "I'd assess it as pretty good, I guess. It would certainly be nice to get it done on the West Coast swing, but it's not a necessity.
"It will happen when it happens, and you can't push too hard and do stupid things or make mistakes in order to think too much about that number. You just have to let the race kind of play out and let it come to you and we'll see where we are at.
"I'm really looking forward to Fontana, it's been a great place for me over the years and I would love to get to Victory Lane there again no matter what number win that it ends up being.''
