About This Product...
German Sturmgeschutz III Ausf. B
Series: Forces of Valor 1:32 Scale Enthusiast Series Axis
For ages: 4 and up
Details (Description): The Sturmgeschutz III was a German assault gun and tank destroyer. The simplicity, low cost, and short time to manufacture were definitive advantages that led to large production numbers during the early years of WWII, and the Sturmgeschutz III was Germany's most produced armored fighting vehicle of the war.
Built on the chassis of the Panzer III tank, the StuG III was designed to keep up with advancing infantry units so it could be used to destroy enemy bunkers and other fortifications. Later versions were equiped with high-velocity guns and were used very effectively as tank destroyers.
This 1:32 scale version of the StuG III Ausf. B depicts the vehicle as seen on the Eastern Front in 1941.
This die-cast German Sturmgeschutz III Ausf. B is part of Forces Of Valor's Enthusiast Edition series, which is the extremely detailed version of this vehicle. The 1:32 scale die cast metal vehicle is approximately 6.5 inches long and has a gun barrel that raises and lowers, hatches that open and close, and a rolling tank suspension. It comes complete with a vehicle commander figure!

It’d be lovely to see them all, but 45 islands is a lot of hopping. If you’re short on time and must choose, these are the must-see El Nido islands.
Vigan Island, El Nido (aka “Snake Island”)
Vigan Island might just be the fairest of them all. It’s been dubbed Snake Island due to the curving stretch of sand bar that perches perfectly between two parallel islands.
It’s best to visit Snake Island during low tide when you can see the winding sandpit clearly. The elegant slopes and perfect curve is startlingly gorgeous, so perfect as to seem not quite real. If you follow the path the entire way, you’ll wind up at a beautiful mangrove that leads into the other island.
Miniloc Island, El Nido
Miniloc Island is home to both Small Lagoon and Big Lagoon. The Big Lagoon offers gorgeous above-water views, with limestone cliffs towering above you as you kayak through the lagoon.
Underwater, it’s not much for coral but its deep emerald waters are frequented by sea turtles. Unfortunately, huge sea urchins like to congregate here too, so be careful where to place your feet.
Small Lagoon also offers a fun snorkeling opportunity: at low tide, snorkelers can swim through a four-foot crevice into a small, cliff-lined cove for a surreal experience.
Miniloc Island is also home to the famous Secret Lagoon (lots of lagoons on this island!) On top of all the lagoons, Miniloc is also an underwater paradise, largely due to the fringe of coral reefs that outline the island. In fact, the island, with its transparent, turquoise waters and colorful coral formations originally gained fame as a diving station for Japanese and European tourists.
Pangulasian Island, El Nido
You probably knew this one was coming. This beach is oft-mentioned, oft-photographed, and oft-revisited. Why? For starters, it has one of the widest stretches of pure powdery white beach in El Nido. The waters are calm and there are clusters of coral close to the shore, which makes this area ideal for viewing aquatic life at your own island-time pace.
There’s hiking to be done on the island as well and a trail that leads to the peak of the island for panoramic 360-degree views of the nearby islands. This island is perfect for sunset watching.
Note: Pangulasian Islands is going the way of the high-end resort and soon public docking will be no longer allowed. There are already the beginnings of luxury accommodations being constructed and it won’t be long ’til it’s complete. Visit this beautiful island now before it becomes another Hilton playground.
Matinloc Island, El Nido
Matinloc island is home to the famous secret beach. This beach is deemed secret since in order to get to it, you have to swim through through a hole formed in a cliff.
Once through the hole, it is spectacular. You have a calm, pristine beach of turquoise waters lapping at your toes while magnificently dark, jutting limestone encases the entire beach.
Secret Beach was allegedly the inspiration for the novel, The Beach. Quite the claim, but once you visit, you’ll see why.
Matinloc island also has a small slice of Greece. Not really, but the Matinloc Shrine is reminiscent of Greece and also offers a beautiful view.
Dilumacad Island (aka Helicopter Island)
From afar, this island looks exactly like a military helicopter. Upon closer inspection, it’s an island boasting a perfectly white sand beach that stretches nearly 300 meters.
The southern part of the island is bordered by a coral reef and the northern part has a deep underwater cave at about 30-50 feet that can be explored if you want to don the diving gear. As a favorite nesting site of marine turtles in El Nido, as well as the site of one of the most picturesque beaches, the island attracts its fair share of visitors.
The largest of the El Nido islands, Cadlao, can be seen from Helicopter island, giving Dilumacad one of the most stunning scenic landscapes of all the islands in El Nido.
Pinagbuyutan Island offers the most magnificent landscape. The juxtaposition of blindingly white sand and dark marble towers is incredible.
Underneath the jutting rock formations, there stretch tall, bendy coconut trees to provide natural shade for every beach bum who comes to Pinagbuyutan’s shores. This island also has quite a collection of seashells.
One thought on “The Must-See Islands of El Nido”
My name is Carmela Alvarez – the editor of LetsPalawan.com
I was devouring posts on Must See Islands of El Nido and I found http://redflagrides.com/leftmyheartinpalawan.com/2012/mustsee-islands-of-el-nido/
extremely helpful/engaging/captivating/other adjectives, so just a
quick thank you/congrats/kudos on that.
I’m reaching out to you because I wanted to ask if you’re
interested in having me write a guest post that engages your audience.
For us, we came up with engaging articles like:
I’d love to write something about Palawan and give you exclusive-use
images if you want.
Would this be something you’d be interested working with?

Last year Jess, my dad and I were supposed to go to the Epicenter Festival, however as everyone knows covid hit and Epicenter along with several other festivals either got cancelled or postponed. With concerts now starting to come back so are the festivals! There are already several to choose from including, Aftershock, Inkcarceration, Rockville, Rock Rebal just to name a few and then there is the Blue Ridge Rock Festival in Virginia. They haven’t announced all the bands yet but the festival will be 4 Full Days. 6 Stages. 180+ Bands. Some of the bands already listed, one of the headliners Five Finger Death Punch with still 2 be announced. Some of the other bands include Limp Bizkit, Cypress Hill, POD, Bad Flower, Fever 333, Non-Point, and Corrosion Of Conformity just to name a couple! I have been told there is a rumor System Of A Down might be one of the other headliners, and yes that is just a rumor but how cool would that be! Needless to say Jess and a friend of ours are planning on attending this festival! Im excited to see who all the other bands are going to be and thrilled to see Limp Bizkit as they are a band I have never seen live before. This will be my second festival and Jess’s first. This will also be my first time in Virginia, hopefully we will be able to get in a little sight seeing when we go. I of course will share pictures and videos from the whole experience.
I still have two more concert announcements this week, will they be as big as this one, well this is a tough one to beat but I think the others will be just as exciting so be sure to check my blogs over the next couple of days!

The Course Materials section of the website reflects the HOPE Center's mission to promote the teaching of the history of economics. It intends to help faculty and instructors develop or revise courses on the history of economics. The section contains annotated links to syllabi and, in some cases, supplementary materials such as handouts, exams, writing assignments, and the like.
The courses are divided into two categories: Survey Courses and Other Courses.
Survey Courses provide an overview of the history of econoimcs and economic thinking as they evolved over a long period. They usually begin with Adam Smith or with the period just before Adam Smith (the mercantilists and the physiocrats), although some begin with the ancients, and end with John Maynard Keynes and/or the developments up to and around World War II.
Other Courses, in contrast, focus on special topics. For instance, they may explore a particular period in the history of economics (say, the eighteenth century or the postwar period) or a particular school of thought, or they may focus on a figure such as Keynes or a set of figures such as the members of the Bloomsbury group or the economists who worked in the Austrian tradition.
The syllabi are generally intended for undergraduate courses, although some include extra assignments or instructions for graduate students.
The Course Supplements tab will take you to a list of annotated links to handouts, exams, writing assignments, and the like. The materials in this section overlap with the supplementary materials accessed in the Survey Courses and Other Courses sections.
- Adam Smith Works is an excellent website with resources for teaching Smith and his ideas.
- Eno River Press Collection of Economics Syllabuses

When Dr. James Levine’s first book, Move a Little, Lose a Lot, hit the shelves in 2009, it had tectonic implications on our understanding of sitting disease and what we needed to do to address our nation’s new leading cause of premature death. The book introduced Dr. Levine’s concept of non-exercise activity thermogenesis, or NEAT for short. NEAT is the class of activity that yields positive health results through frequent low-intensity movement, such as from using a standing desk or treadmill desk. Speaking personally, Move a Little, Lose a Lot changed my life, my livelihood, and my entire sense of life purpose. So, yes, I went into Dr. Levine’s new book, Get Up! Why Your [...]
If laughter is the best medicine then watching funny health motivation videos might be the very best therapy for breaking out of our sedentary habits. At the very least, it’s a fun diversion to share around your office. Some of these videos are informational, some are just plain weird, but all of them made us laugh. In no particular order, allow us to present:1. iMovR: ZipLift 2. iMovR: War on Sitting
Kicking off our list is this video from iMovR’s Upsilon Standing Desk Kickstarter, which we reviewed. It depicts a world where sitting is literally the new smoking as the Surgeon General requires warnings printed on chairs à la [...]
Academic studies of treadmill desk usage have collated metabolic metrics on everything from cholesterol, triglycerides, and A1C hemoglobin (blood sugar) to blood pressure, caloric burn, and even weight loss, but meaningful measurements of productivity improvement are much harder to devise. We know of one study currently being undertaken by the University of Mississippi to measure core employee productivity – looking at work hours and absenteeism among employees with chronic back pain and other issues, for example – which will certainly stand on its own in any employer’s ROI analysis, and we look forward to seeing the results of the completed study.
But the other kind of [...]

It apparently is a documented fact in urban planning that cities expand north first. Spokane development in the last several decades seems to fit this generalization. What puzzles me is why so few independent restaurants have been able to follow suit.
In six years of reviewing Spokane restaurants, almost none of them have been north of downtown. Of course there is food to be had near the Y on Division or up by Whitworth's Pine Cone Curtain, but almost all of it is served up by chain restaurants. Independent places that have opened rarely last long. I'd be interested in your ideas as to why this is.
I'd also like to ask you to swing into the upscale restaurant launched by the owners of Twigs that is "up north" on Nevada: 98 Twenty. I've not eaten my way through enough of the menu to be certain, but it might well be our first North Spokane regional contender in the independent restaurant market.
Chef Dan Bower and General Manager Oleg Baron can both be considered local talent with degrees from the SCC Inland Northwest Culinary Academy. Bower also brings a history of working in a number of very prestigious kitchens around the country including a Michelin starred establishment in Florida. I like the breadth and creativity of the 98 Twenty menu, and a recent lunch in the middle our first big snowstorm of the season made me decide I need to do more menu splunking at 98 Twenty. I'd also like your feedback... stop in for a meal and let me know what you think.

"Don't get me wrong but I think you don't REALLY belong to our world." Ginny was right. She, Hermione Granger, didn't belong to the Magical World. In fact, she belonged to nowhere. A story about friendship, love and trust.
After everything, he had moved on; she had drowned in sadness. As he was getting married, she was dying inside.
Post Hogwarts. One day Harry came home and found out that his wife, Hermione, had left him. On the way to get her back, he began to reminisce about their relationship and where it may have gone wrong... ONE-SHOT. Please Review

The pursuit of hidden truth
Truth remains elusive in the constant deluge of information across organizations in today’s knowledge economy. Early-stage information technology problems have shifted from the need to build basic capacity to generate, share, store data, to actually making use of the glut of digital information available. The overwhelming challenge of too much information calls for advanced analytics and decision-support tools to deal effectively with constantly flowing, dynamic, multi-source data in its multiple types and forms. In this new reality, essential information can become obscured in a sea of irrelevant red herrings and false positives. Often the opportunity to discover and correlate associated data into meaningful patterns relevant to consumer needs and contexts is limited or lost altogether.
Plain facts often hide in plain sight
Analytics is the science of discovering relevant patterns in data. Intuidex’s approach leverages Higher Order Learning (HOL) statistical models and machine learning and combines them with the ability to harness ground truth domain knowledge of subject matter experts. The power of solutions depend directly on the ability to filter irrelevant data from relevant nuggets that lie hidden in plain sight amongst the noise and clutter. Intuidex’s Higher Order Learning (HOL) technology has been repeatedly demonstrated to enable better pattern discovery in many sectors including business applications, defense, intelligence, homeland security, law enforcement, public safety and counter-terrorism. Intuidex is committed to effective innovations that drive positive impacts because Decisions Matter™.

While deforestation and forest degradation have gained attention in recent years not least at the UN climate negotiations, defaunation, has to a great extent been overlooked. Human-induced faunal loss does not only reduce tree species diversity, but also significantly erodes key ecosystem services and functions and further disadvantages local communities. In a new article in Sustianability science, LUCSUS researcher Torsten Krause analyze these impacts, through a case study of Nigeria’s Cross River State and make suggestions for more encompassing conservation approaches that take defaunation into account.
The researchers identify shortcomings and gaps of international and domestic forest governance, for instance, the ongoing expansion
of agriculture in forest areas, a lack of collective action on forest fauna conservation at the local level, as well as conflicts amongst key actors at the sub-national level.
Current REDD+ governance in Cross River State largely fails to address fauna loss and local hunting practices, but also affect allocation and access of environmental benefits and burdens for local people.

MY FAV STREAMS!
Part of me is disapointed, but I hope it is for the best.
That means u guys gonna have multiple releases on september update, right? More then one champion realease.
2 months with almost nothing is really sad (balance updates are almost nothing), but I really hope u guys change everything when it comes back, until then i'm going to play other mobas.
What about the skins every week?
Just like this . The IC post were... to vague. What can we expect fot these two months? i mena,m ok, a new tutorial will help a lot of new players, but, what the actual players can expect to come ? Release a champion per month wasn't even a 'fast pace' , and now we have to wait two months in the dark ? I play since closed beta, and i'm failing to see why I should keep playing fot he next two months.
While I really enjoy the game, and play it very regularly, I have to question the timing of this. It seems that now is the time to push harder towards completion, rather than focusing on rebalancing, new player experience, and UI changes. I understand that alot of work is going on behind the scenes, but it seems that two months without anything to excite the existing player base will allow us to be lured away by Dota, LoL and even Dawngate. Dota is in the middle of the International, and is giving their players loads of new perks throughout the month of July. Now seems like a terrible time to call a 2-month moratorium on new content.
Please reconsider this decision.
Such a long wait....
Sorry but like with the character balancing there are too many flaws in the planning here.
No major updates or new chars during a majorly busy period, Kids home from school/college/uni 2-3 weeks holiday 4 weeks dead space where the average "played" game time tends to expand from 8 hours a week to around 24-30. Yet no updates , no new chars during a busy period for most games to entice and retain player bases.
I have to ask what the business model being followed is to actively scale back during a busy period.
IC has the potential to be a major player in the moba market, why? because of the DC chars and some innovation that see's fun maps like CC (although we can only custom this still cough cough hint hint).
what works out as 8-10 weeks of not much changing will put a lot of people off in a genre that is constantly evolving.
Back in the WC3 Moba days you learnt that if your Moba didnt evolve it would all but die and i assume the same happens out in the just moba communities as well.
I'm not sure why ANYONE would stick with this game at this point. I mean, 2 months is effectively gonna be the nails in the coffin. It's not hard to see a dying game, with 2 months of no new content, isn't gonna be a solution. It's sad to me that this game wasn't bigger, but like I said, someone there is the captain of this ship, they aren't steering in the right direction...
Well, what the hell. I am as disappointed as the next guy about the character thing but if you want feedback and opinions, I can do that much. I've been here since the beginning of the game in closed beta, even if I have not made myself very noticeable. Might as well keep going.
Well, guess in september I'll come back then, to see the remains of this game, the one who could have been a great game, but it's failing hard. In the current situation, these two months may be the nails in the coffins, like someone said . The last one to go out please turn off the lights.

Round Eye “Monster Vision”.
After a first album made famous by the song “(Julie’s got a) suntan” a few years back, Round Eye, the biggest foreign band from Shanghai came back in 2017 with this new album, and a new video for the song “Billy”, a very special cop.
Higher Brothers “Black Cab”.
2017 was probably the biggest year for Hip-Hop in China since the band Yin Ts’ang (隐藏) started it all by releasing the first rap album coming from the PRC in 2003.
For whatever reasons Hip Hop in China was almost disappeared after that and came back as a big thing this year, Higher Brother’s “Black Cab” album being one of its most prominent example.
Here is a remix version of the album on bandcamp: https://neofujimuzik.bandcamp.com/album/black-cap-re-birth-remix-ep
You can find the album on QQ but also buy it on Amazon.
Hang on the Box “Oracles”.
The first all-female Punk band from China just released a new album this year “Oracles”, the first album from the band in many years, the band rose to fame in the early 2000’s and became the first Chinese band to be on the cover of Newsweek. Not really punk music anymore, but still good, this album is closer to the genres of synth-pop or electro-rock or just rock.
Listen to this on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/6ACWxzyWM4z9wkuqlnfBON
or Wang Yi: http://music.163.com/#/artist/album?id=11678
Kawa “出云南记” (Chu Yun Nan Ji: The Route Out of Yunnan).
Released early in 2017, this reggae album from the most prominent reggae band of China’s South West (Yunnan and Guizhou) challenged once again the established reggae music styles by mixing local languages, sounds and culture, with Jamaican music.
The band had a ruff end of the year with the announcement of the death of Aiyong a few weeks ago, the bass player of the band, a name to be respected and remembered, he was also the former bass player of Shanren, another big name in the South West of China.
Listen to this album on Wang Yi: http://music.163.com/#/album?id=35578319
Cui Jian “Rock Symphony”.
This year, Cui Jian, the first Mainland Chinese artist to play rock music in China in the 80’s released a symphonic rock album of his most famous songs, some parts are quite beautiful in there, a nice way to give a new life to already very well known songs.
Listen here http://music.163.com/#/artist/album?id=2111
Didn’t find it on Spotify but it is out there on one of these platforms.
Dou Wei “间听监” (Jian Ting Jian).
Dou Wei is one of the most interesting artist from Mainland China, one of the other godfathers of rock in China, a man that went from Pop stardom in the 80’s to rock stardom in the 90’s and became an experimental artist in the 2000’s, now forgotten by most in the general Chinese public.
On this album, made in collaboration with the “Yi” band, Dou Wei explores another side of experimental music by mixing movie dialogues from China’s old films of the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s with modern electro-experimental music.
Re-Tros “Before the Applause”.
Re-Tros is one of these bands that never stops changing. In there latest effort, the band changes its sound into electronic and departs from its punk and experimental rock roots to almost sound like a different band, a leap forward. The band has also toured the world with Dépêche Mode this year, maybe the first band from China to accomplish such a thing.
Result of the collaboration between Gui Gui Sui Sui and prog-rock metal band Nakoma, Nekroma is an interesting mix between experimental ideas and different styles and musical forms.
Djang San + Band “What You Want”.
As usual a very prolific year for Djang San who has released one Djang San + Band album, one Djang San solo album “Red Lips” and another quadruple album to celebrate his 40th album divided in four parts “Cigarettes, Bricks, Dust, Alcohol”.
“What You Want”, the latest album from Djang San + Band is a true collaboration between three musicians with Carlo V. Fuentes on drums and Clancy Lethbridge on bass, an album that enlarges once again and explores the different possibilities of electrified Chinese instruments (pipa and zhongruan).
On Bandcamp: https://djangsan.bandcamp.com/album/what-you-want
Xie Yugang/Yang Haisong “Blazy”.
A collaboration between Yang Haisong of the legendary punk band PK 14 and Xie Yugang of the band Wang Wen, this experimental album “Blazy” is a nice surprise for 2017 and makes us wonder why this kind of collaborations don’t happen more, cool stuff.
On Bandcamp: https://wangwen.bandcamp.com/album/blazy
Produced by Bob Ezrin, the man behind the production of albums for artists such as Alice Cooper, Pink Floyd, Lou Reed and many more, this 2017 album is a good one for Hanggai and an evolution from there previous albums as well, cool stuff as well.
Dabang “Guan Nian” (Concept).
Like many bands on the Beijing music scene this year, Da Bang has turned to electronic rock and the result is pretty good with this one. Lots of guitars still, and nicely flowing electronic beats.
Su & The Paramecia “Fei Chu Mi Lou”.
Folk artist Su Zi Xu goes one step forward in this album accompanied by The Paramecia, the album is in between, folk, rock, jazz, world music, and many other things, pretty interesting.
Zhege “Ba Ba Beijing”.
Zhege is one of these bands that doesn’t last for long on the Beijing music scene but has just enough time to shake things up and record an album before everybody goes back to where they came from.
The band, a mix of nationalities from England, Ukraine (or Russia ?) China, the USA (and maybe more) came up with something different avoiding the sometimes over seriousness of the Beijing music scene with this funny album, kudos.
Noise Arcade “Behind the Times”:
Noise Arcade mesmerized us with this album this year, “Behind the Times” could be one of his best so far, bringing the listener into a feeling of auditive transe that little by little gets into your ears, an album to listen too while half-sleeping or taking the subway.

Well, I entered the NGADM this year, not expecting to actually make it, only to find out that out of 192 auditions I was one of the 32 that made it!
So, here's my entry for Round 1, wish me luck! There's a lot of good competition and I honestly don't expect to make it far, but I'll give it my best shot! I've been working on this song ever since I found out I was in, and a lot of time went into mixing/mastering (I still have a headache from it all :S)
Hope you like it! Its probably not my most original song, but I tried to make it my most professional (minus the last minute solo, I honestly don't have the energy to try and master another one :P)

The detection of specific serum antibodies is mainly achieved by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Here, we describe the setting up of a microarray-based serological assay to screen for IgG and IgM against vertically transmitted pathogens (Toxoplasma gondii, rubella virus, cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2, varicella zoster virus, Chlamydia trachomatis). The test, accommodated onto a restricted area of a microscope slide, consists of: (a) the immobilization of antigens and human IgG and IgM antibody dilution curves, laid down in an orderly manner; (b) addition of serum samples; (c) detection of antigen–serum antibodies complexes by indirect immunofluorescence. The IgG and IgM curves provide an internal calibration system for the interpolation of the signals from the single antigens. The test was optimized in terms of spotting conditions and processing protocol. The detection limit was 400 fg for the IgG assay and 40 fg for the IgM assay; the analytical specificity was >98%. The clinical sensitivity returned an average value of 78%, the clinical specificity was >96%, the predictive values were >73%, and the efficiency was >88%. The results obtained make this test a promising tool, suitable for introduction in the clinical diagnostic routine of vertically transmitted infections, in parallel (and in future as an alternative) to ELISA.

People sometimes assume that to "Let Grow" is to shrug and say, "Good luck, kid!" and sally forth for a latte while the child tries to Google Map his way to school the first day.
Jessica Lahey, author of The Gift of Failure, knows that isn't so. She sent us a link to her piece in The New York Times about "How to Help Your Child Succeed at School." "I think you will find lots of Let Grow stuff to love in this, " she said. Do we ever! Especially this simple, brilliant list:
- Focus on the process, not the product.
- Encourage kids to self-advocate.
- Keep a long-term perspective.
- Maintain a healthy sleep schedule.
- Love the child you have, not the child you wish you had.
- Worship grades.
- Encourage helplessness.
- Compare kids to one another.
- Love kids based on their performance.
Jessica expands on these basics, and adds advice to, for instance, keep goals challenging but not insanely daunting, and maintain a long-term perspective: Things take a while to improve. (Sigh.)
The whole article bears reading. And if you have some strategies or insights to share that help both kids and parents have a good school year, please share!

S. Austin Allibone, comp. Prose Quotations from Socrates to Macaulay. 1880.
Life appears to me too short to be spent in nursing animosity or registering wrongs. We are, and must be, one and all, burdened with faults in this world; but the time will come when, I trust, we shall put them off in putting off our corruptible bodies: when debasement and sin will fall from us with this cumbrous frame of flesh, and only the spark will remain,the impalpable principle of life and thought, pure as when it left the Creator to inspire the creature: whence it came, it will return, perhaps to pass through gradations of glory,from the pale human soul to brighten to the seraph . It is a creed in which I delight, to which I cling. It makes eternity a rest, a mighty home, not a terror and an abyss. Besides, with this creed revenge never worries my heart, degradation never too deeply disgusts me, injustice never crushes me too low: I live in calm, looking to the end.
Some real lives dofor certain days or yearsactually anticipate the happiness of heaven; and I believe if such perfect happiness is once felt by good people (to the wicked it never comes) its sweet effect is never wholly lost. Whatever trials follow, whatever pains of sickness or shades of death, the glory precedent still shines through, cheering the keen anguish and tinging the deep cloud. I will go further: I do believe there are some human beings so born, so reared, so guided from a soft cradle to a calm and late grave, that no excessive suffering penetrates their journey. And often these are not pampered, selfish beings, but Natures elect, harmonious and benign; men and women mild with charity, kind agents of Gods kind attributes . But it is not so for all. What then? His will be done! as done it surely will be, whether we humble ourselves to resignation or not.

Conventional star-ratings don’t apply to INLAND EMPIRE. Yes, David Lynch insists it’s capitalised. No, he’s not saying why. Shot without a finished script over two-and-a-half years, Lynch’s first feature in half a decade is his most ambitious brain-twister ever. Teetering on the brink of his subconscious – as far inland as we’ve ever gone – this epic mystery is a branch of the 61-year-old maverick’s DNA: strange, familiar and utterly unique.
Continually multi-referencing itself and Lynch’s entire career, it pivots on the kind of naked, fearless performance he has a genius for extracting – from Isabella Rossellini and John Hurt, to Richard Farnsworth and Naomi Watts. Laura Dern is in almost every scene, her face contorting like a melting waxwork in Lynch’s trembling close-ups. No wonder the director recently parked himself (and a live cow) at an LA intersection to tout her for Oscar: like all great actors, Dern simply disappears into her character.
Dern plays faded actress Nikki Grace. Nikki plays Sue, opposite bad-boy Justin Theroux, in a film about two people embarking on a dangerous affair. The script, based on a Polish gypsy curse, is in fact a remake of a film that was never completed. The original stars were brutally murdered because “they discovered something inside the story”.
At which point, the ‘plot’ and Dern’s terrified character splinter forever. Is she on camera or off? Is she speaking? Or reading lines from the script? Is she Nikki playing Sue? Or is she Sue? Then the sinister Poles turn up, “looking for a way in”. Screwdriver stabbings. A young woman staring sadly into a TV screen. Hookers singing ‘The Loco-Motion’. Humanoid rabbits (voiced by Mulholland Drive stars Watts and Laura Harring) doing the ironing on a TV sitcom set.
Grotesque, funny, intense scenes add up with thrilling intent – only to shatter again minutes later. Rabbit holes inside rabbit holes, movies within movies, identities blurring throughout. As Lynch punctures layer after layer of realities, Dern/Nikki/Sue becomes both audience and protagonist. “I don’t know what happened first,” she whispers, speaking the audience’s mind as Lynch’s leads always do. “And it’s kind of laid a mind-fuck on me.” Well said. It’s Lynch reminding us that time and space are cinema’s most untrustworthy variables – portals between the real and imaginary, constantly flickering open and closed, taking us from the wintery streets of Lodz to LA’s Walk of Fame.
Shot with a high-street digital camera, Lynch’s usual plush, beautiful moviescape has fuzzed into a murky, threatening DV world. By stepping outside the Hollywood dream-factory (INLAND EMPIRE is yet to be distributed in the US), the director unlocks a cinematic haunted house full of dark corners and secrets glimpsed just beneath the surface. Even after three hours, the symbolic echoes and narrative non-sequiturs are impossible and irresistible. Do all the pieces fit? Well, yes, no and that’s not the point. Lynch’s obsessions simultaneously demand and defy interpretation. A captivating, baffling nightmare-puzzle. Whatever the hell those rabbits mean.

Well here’s one piece of Star Wars casting news that just couldn’t wait until the end of the day (thankfully!): Keri Russell is reportedly the first official newcomer to sign on for Star Wars: Episode IX, which is heading into production at the end of this month with J.J. Abrams back at the helm. It’s also a fairly major reunion, as Russell previously starred in the long-running hit series Felicity (created by Abrams) and Mission: Impossible III (directed by Abrams).
It’s happening – J.J. Abrams is writing and creating a new drama for HBO. The Fringe and LOST creator has sold new outer space drama Demimonde to the Westworld network with a full series order, following a tense bidding war with Apple.
Are you ready for the CCU (the Cloverfield Cinematic Universe)? Paramount and producer J.J. Abrams are doubling down on their upcoming sequel/spinoff 10 Cloverfield Lane with plans to turn the Cloverfield universe into a legitimate anthology of films and Abrams says he already knows what the next movie will be.
J.J. Abrams revved up the engine on the ol’ Star Wars ship, launching the series on a new journey with The Force Awakens, but declining to return for the subsequent sequels. Instead, Rian Johnson (Looper) and Colin Trevorrow (Jurassic World) will be steering the franchise from here on out, directing Episodes 8 and 9, respectively. Johnson is in production on Episode 8 right now, and according to The Force Awakens star Daisy Ridley, the script is “very good.” How good? Abrams regrets turning down the chance to direct it.
By now, you probably know all about some of the cameos in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, like Daniel Craig’s secret appearance and the actors behind the voice of BB-8. But there are a couple more hidden cameos you most likely didn’t notice — as it turns out, Luke, Leia, Han and Admiral Ackbar aren’t the only classic characters from the original trilogy who appear in The Force Awakens, but J...

In early December, the Protecting Our Democracy Act which was introduced to establish a 12-member bipartisan independent National Commission on Foreign Interference in the 2016 Election is expected to be reintroduced under the new Congress.
The commission, which would examine attempts by the Russian government and similar efforts by any other foreign governments or entities and others to use electronic means to influence, interfere with or sow distrust in the 2016 US elections, would issue a final report with recommendations for future security protections to Congress and the President within 18 months of the bill’s enactment. The committee would be empowered to interview witnesses, obtain documents, issue subpoenas and receive public testimony.
Josh Richman, Communications Director for Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), ranking member of the CIA Subcommittee of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence who introduced the bill, told Homeland Security Today the legislation “will be re-introduced in first few days of 115th Congress with more cosponsors, hopefully including some Republicans; Swalwell and Cummings continue to work relationships across the aisle.”
When the bill was introduced and referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, there were no co-sponsors other than Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), the ranking member of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
“This past election, the principles of our democracy were attacked,” Swalwell said when the bill was first announced. “We owe it to our constituents to defend the integrity of our representative democracy, starting with finding out what exactly happened and how we prevent it from ever happening again. While our intelligence agencies have concluded with high confidence that Russia meddled in America’s elections, to what degree and whether other state or non-state actors were involved remains unresolved. Americans of all political parties are rightfully worried and deserve answers. To protect our democracy, we are calling for a fact-based, independent, bipartisan-appointed commission on foreign interference in the 2016 election.”
“Regardless of whether you voted for Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, or anyone else, Russia’s attacks on our election are an attempt to degrade our democracy and should chill every American—Democratic, Republican, or Independent—to the core,” Cummings said. “This commission will conduct a truly bipartisan and comprehensive review of these attacks and offer specific recommendations to prevent future attacks on our electoral process.”
According to the initial announcement of the bill bySwalwell and Cummings, “The scope of the commission’s investigation would include computer hacking activity that targeted the Democratic National Committee, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign chairman John Podesta and former Secretary of State Colin Powell; the scanning of electoral systems in Arizona, Illinois and Florida; and efforts by any foreign entity to produce, disseminate or promote fake news involving the US election.
The 12 members of the commission would be appointed within 90 days of enactment by the Speaker of the House, Senate Majority Leader, House Minority Leader and Senate Minority Leader, and the commission would choose a chair and vice chair of different parties. No federal officers or employees would be eligible to serve on the commission, and appointees would be prominent US citizens with national recognition and significant depth of experience in governmental service, law enforcement, armed services, law, public administration, intelligence gathering, foreign affairs, cybersecurity and federal elections.

Goldman Sachs: Record of $23 billion in bonuses for 2009; explaining their economic parasitism
Goldman Sachs is among the most visible financial parasites. Their executives have a revolving door through the US Treasury Department. They profit through trading, much like Enron did; including selling investments represented as AAA while simultaneously betting the value of those investments tank. Their CEO says theyre doing Gods work, as Enrons CEO said, We are on the side of angels. A US Senate report puts the parasitic cost to Americans at $2 to $4 trillion every year. To put that figure into perspective, thats an almost unbelievable $20,000 to $40,000 added cost per US household every year. Goldman Sachs is so happy with their trading, theyll pay out a record of $23 billion in bonuses to their top employees for their 2009 work.
There are professionals in economics and finance using the term parasitism in its literal sense to describe our US economy.

Instead Of Removing The Controversial Confederate Monument On The Square, A Committee Voted To Add A Plaque And Video Monitors — Y’Know, For Context!
Following a vote by the 15-member Denton County Confederate Memorial Advisory Committee, it’s been determined that the city’s Monument to Denton’s Confederate Soldiers will stay in place at the historic Denton Square.
The advisory committee voted 12-3 yesterday to keep the stone monument to Confederate soldiers — with the recommendation that a plaque and video monitors be added that display messages that denounce slavery and segregation.
The three members who voted against the plan — Willie Hudspeth, Alfred Sanchez and Paul Meltzer — said after the vote that they all supported adding the plaque, though they voted against the committee’s recommendation because the group did not construct a specific message.
Not surprisingly, the group’s recommendation of placing video monitors outside 24/7 immediately drew scrutiny from one local leader. County Commissioner Hugh Coleman, who is on the commissioners court that will decide how the plan will go forward, told the Denton Record-Chronicle that he was unsure about the feasibility of video monitors.
“I think having electronics out in the weather may have operational problems,” Coleman said to the Record-Chronicle. “If we do this, we want to do it right. I don’t want it constantly breaking down because it’s subject to wind, rain and weather.”
Dude’s got a point! And more power than those on the advisory committee, whose plan’s fate is contingent on the Denton County Commissioners Court approving it — or not — when it next meets on Tuesday, February 6.
Still, it shouldn’t be all that surprising that this first vote went the way it did. When the committee was formed two and a half months ago, it had three specific goals: to preserve the Confederate soldier tribute; to follow the historical preservation guidelines of the Texas Historical Commission, the National Parks Service and the American Alliance of Museums; and to follow any local and state preservation standards.
Even so, the statue isn’t super popular with everyone in Denton — especially the crowd that was hoping the college town would follow in Dallas’ steps in removing a Confederate monument.
How do we know that crowd exists? Because, y’know, college town, duh. But also because, back in 2015, two still-never-apprehended people were caught on surveillance video spray painting “This is racist!” on the monument. Oh, and then there’s the weekly protests of the monument that go down from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. every Sunday.
We bet that contingent is rolling its eyes even harder than we are at the idea of Denton ever actually installing outdoor video monitors next to the monument to remind everyone that, in spite of what this monument is literally standing for, slavery and segregation were bad.

How Adopting a Healthy Lifestyle Can Transform Your Life
Hello, dear readers! Welcome to this article that aims to shed light on the significance of leading a healthy lifestyle and how it can positively impact your overall well-being. In today’s fast-paced world, it is crucial to prioritize our health and make conscious choices to maintain a balanced and fulfilling life.
Living a healthy lifestyle encompasses various aspects, including diet, exercise, sleep, and mental well-being. By making small but meaningful changes in these areas, we can experience a significant transformation in our lives. Let’s explore the different elements that contribute to a healthy lifestyle:
The Power of a Balanced Diet
A balanced diet is the foundation of good health. It involves consuming a variety of nutrients, including proteins, carbohydrates, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals. Incorporating fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats into our meals can provide the necessary fuel for our bodies to function optimally.
Furthermore, a balanced diet can help prevent chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. It also boosts our immune system, improves digestion, and enhances our overall energy levels, enabling us to perform daily tasks with vitality.
The Role of Regular Exercise
Exercise is not only essential for maintaining physical fitness but also plays a crucial role in improving mental well-being. Engaging in regular physical activity releases endorphins, also known as “feel-good” hormones, which help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. Exercise also strengthens our muscles and bones, improves cardiovascular health, and enhances flexibility and balance.
It is recommended to engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity per week. This can include activities such as brisk walking, jogging, swimming, cycling, or even dancing. Remember, finding an exercise routine that you enjoy will make it easier to incorporate into your daily life.
The Importance of Quality Sleep
Sleep is often underestimated in its impact on overall health. Getting adequate and quality sleep is vital for our bodies to repair, rejuvenate, and function optimally. Lack of sleep can lead to a compromised immune system, increased risk of chronic illnesses, decreased cognitive function, and mood disturbances.
Establishing a consistent sleep schedule, creating a sleep-friendly environment, and practicing relaxation techniques before bedtime can help improve the quality and duration of your sleep. Aim for 7-9 hours of uninterrupted sleep each night to wake up feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the day.
Nurturing Mental Well-being
Mental health is equally important as physical health. It involves taking care of our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. Practicing self-care, managing stress, and cultivating positive relationships are essential aspects of nurturing our mental well-being.
Engaging in activities that bring joy and relaxation, such as hobbies, meditation, or spending time in nature, can significantly impact our mental state. It is also crucial to seek support when needed, whether through talking to friends, family, or a mental health professional.
Incorporating Healthy Habits into Daily Life
Adopting a healthy lifestyle requires making conscious choices and forming habits that promote overall well-being. Small changes can make a significant difference in the long run. Here are some simple yet effective tips to incorporate healthy habits into your daily life:
1. Start your day with a nutritious breakfast to fuel your body and brain.2. Stay hydrated throughout the day by drinking an adequate amount of water.3. Choose whole, unprocessed foods over processed and sugary options.4. Find an exercise routine that you enjoy and make it a regular part of your schedule.5. Prioritize sleep and establish a consistent sleep routine.6. Practice stress-management techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, or yoga.7. Limit the consumption of alcohol, tobacco, and other harmful substances.8. Surround yourself with positive influences and supportive relationships.9. Take breaks from technology and spend time engaging in activities that bring you joy.10. Listen to your body’s cues and give it the rest it needs when necessary.
The Journey to a Healthier You Starts Today!
Now that we have explored the various elements that contribute to a healthy lifestyle, it’s time to take action. Remember, it’s never too late to start prioritizing your well-being. Begin by incorporating small changes into your daily routine and gradually build upon them.
Embracing a healthy lifestyle is not about perfection but rather about making progress. Celebrate every positive step you take towards a healthier you and be patient with yourself along the way. Your body and mind will thank you as you experience increased energy, improved mood, and a greater sense of overall well-being.

The workshop will start with an address by Max Lemke, Head of Unit Internet of Things at European Commission, who will provide an overview of current and future policy to support global technological harmonization for autonomous mobility. Stephane Dreher (ERTICO – ITS Europe) will give a speech about the Cooperative, connected and automated mobility (CCAM) platform.
The workshop will present three major R&D projects that are playing an essential role in the autonomous mobility domain. These are:
- PRYSTINE (https://prystine.eu): The European project PRYSTINE (Programmable Systems for Intelligence in Automobiles) is realizing Fail-operational Urban Surround Perception (FUSION) based on a combination of robust Radar and LiDAR sensor fusion feeding control functions with high-resolution data in order to enable safe automated driving in urban environment.
Speakers: George Dimitrakopoulos (Infineon Technologies AG) and Anna Ryabokon (TTTech Computertechnik AG)
- NewControl (https://www.newcontrol-project.eu): The main goal of NewControl is to deliver fail-operational holistic virtualized platforms for vehicular subsystems that are essential for automated driving (SAE Levels 3+), enabling i.e. mobility-as-a-service for next-generation highly automated vehicles.
Speaker: Reiner John (AVL List)
- UP2DATE (https://h2020up2date.eu): UP2DATE stands for intelligent software update technologies for safe and secure mixed-criticality and high-performance cyber-physical systems. The aim of the project is to develop a new software paradigm for SASE Over-the-Air software updates for Mixed-Criticality Cyber-Physical Systems (MCCPS).
Speaker: Irune Agirre (Ikerlan)
The workshop will conclude with an interactive and open discussion that will give an opportunity for all participants to jointly share and present their thoughts.

“Seventh-day Adventist Church policies are decided through a lengthy process involving multiple committees and councils, and it is the sacred responsibility of the General Conference president and all other church leaders everywhere to follow, according to policy, what the world church has voted,” General Conference president Ted N.C. Wilson said.
Wilson, quoting extensively from the General Conference Constitution, Bylaws, and Working Policy, made the comments in a detailed response to a recent question submitted to his Q&A column (see www.facebook.com/PastorTedWilson/posts/1125011014221456:0).
His remarks came after world church leaders at the 2016 Annual Council voted on measures to deal with church entities that do not adhere to the voted actions of the world church. The measures have been described by church leaders as pastoral and redemptive in their approach.
Church Working Together
The measures voted came to the Annual Council floor as a recommendation by a large majority of the General Conference and division officers, showing that many senior world church leaders are strongly in favor of having the entire world church work together.
The Oct. 11 vote by the Annual Council, the second-highest decision-making body of the church, recognized the authority of voted actions taken by the General Conference Session, the church’s highest decision-making body.
“As president of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, I am duty bound with a sacred responsibility, as are all other officers of every level of organizations throughout the church as is indicated in Working Policy, to follow what the world church has voted in session (whether I agree with it or not),” Wilson wrote in the Q&A column published on his Facebook page and blog. “To go against this vote would be exercising kingly authority.”
These issues have come to the forefront since the last General Conference Session, in 2015, turned down a proposal that would have allowed divisions to decide whether to allow the ordination of women to pastoral ministry. A few of the church’s entities, however, have ordained women, voted to allow it, or have some aberration of policy on the subject.
Wilson explained that the General Conference Working Policy does not allow any church entity to ordain women to pastoral ministry.
“While the union has the right to approve or disapprove of which individuals, recommended from local conferences, to ordain, that decision is to be made only within the framework of the Working Policy of the world church,” Wilson said. “In addition, the unions are not responsible for approving men to be ordained to the gospel ministry on the division or the General Conference levels. Each of those organizations and their institutions, through the respective executive committees, are authorized to approve ordinations. Therefore, the unions are not responsible for all aspects of ordination.”
Questions on Authority
In his Q&A column, Wilson was replying to a question from someone who had suggested that unions held the final authority on whom to ordain.
“How is it that when they exercise that authority they are rebellious?” the individual wrote. “Has the General Conference decided that they know better? How does this (what absolutely appears to be an) exercise of kingly authority promote unity?”
Wilson’s office said this echoes a number of similar questions that it has received in recent weeks. Questions about whether unions hold the final authority on whom to ordain have also been voiced widely on social media and other places.
Wilson indicated that there is a misconception about unions and the extent of their functions.
“When union conferences were established, they were given the responsibility of working within the policies outlined for the world church, which now generally takes place by world church representatives at an Annual Council and sometimes at a General Conference Session,” Wilson said. “Unions were established to make mission more local since the General Conference wasn’t able to cover the world with direct counsel for every situation, but unions are not a law unto themselves.”
Policies are Agreements
Wilson noted that all church entities are subject to the General Conference Working Policy and stressed that the Working Policy is not equivalent to the Bible or the writings of church cofounder Ellen G. White.
“Working policies are agreements made by church leaders and lay members from around the world as to how we will operate as a world church in carrying out our God-given mission,” he said. “The foundational principles of policies are and should be based on the instruction of the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy.”
Church members often refer to White’s work as the Spirit of Prophecy.
Wilson said the Working Policy was not written by one person or a small group of people and has developed over time. Its items have gone through a careful and deliberate process involving multiple committees and councils, he said.
Wilson provided a long list of excerpts from the church’s Constitution and Working Policy to explain how the church works in an interrelated manner and to show that Working Policy only allows men to be ordained to the gospel ministry.
He noted that this male-only policy was confirmed by the General Conference Session in 1990, while General Conference Sessions in 1995 and 2015 decided that no other level of the church’s structure had the right to determine who would be ordained other than that which has been indicated in the Working Policy and confirmed in 1990.
“Regarding your ‘kingly authority’ question,” Wilson responded, “what could be more of a ‘kingly authority’ action than to deliberately go against what has been voted by the worldwide representation of delegates from around the world at a General Conference Session? Three times this subject has been addressed in some form by a General Conference Session.”
A Redemptive Process
On Oct. 11, Annual Council delegates approved a document that lays out a two-phase redemptive process to bring non-compliant church entities into reconciliation and adherence with voted actions and policies of the world church. The first phase envisages multiple conciliatory consultations at various levels of the church’s structure, pastoral letters encouraging compliance, and much prayer. If the matter remains unresolved, the document calls for a second phase of redemptive action that the General Conference Administrative Committee will draft and submit to the 2017 Annual Council for approval and implementation.
After the vote, Wilson emphasized that reconciliation was the main goal of the document. He also called for unity so the church could better fulfill its mission of spreading the gospel since the mission of the church is the primary purpose for its existence and is vital at this end-time setting before Christ’s return. (Read his full statement here: https://perspectives.adventist.org/en/news/news/go/2016-10-12/one-lord-one-faith-one-mission/)
He reiterated those sentiments in his Q&A column.
“Let us be sure to recognize that our ultimate unity is found in looking steadfastly unto Jesus who is the Great Unifier portrayed in His John 17 prayer of unity,” he said. “The Holy Spirit will keep us in unity and focused on our final, last-day proclamation of the three angels’ messages of Revelation 14 and the fourth angel of Revelation 18 as we unitedly lift up Christ, His righteousness, and His soon Second Coming.”

Maggie's Southampton is a low-lying pavilion hidden within Southampton General Hospital's car park by a verdant garden that covers three-quarters of the centre's plot.
"The site for Maggie's Southampton was a challenging one, a set of nondescript buildings surrounded by a sea of car park," Arrocet told Dezeen.
"We wanted the Maggie's to be easily identifiable in this expanse of grey, and bring to the hospital what it needed most, a garden," he said.
"We wanted everyone to see a garden, not another building," Arrocet continued.
"We planned the building as if there were no distinction between the inside and outside spaces, we wanted the interior to be in permanent dialogue with the garden."
Maggie's Southampton was built to support the hospital's specialist oncology unit. It is one-storey in height and has a pinwheel-shaped plan comprising four spaces that stem from a central point.
As with all Maggie's Centres, at the heart of the building is the communal kitchen and dining table. It is lit by a circular skylight, which is the only curved element in the entire building.
The four zones are defined by four "blade walls", which extend outwards from the building and also loosely divide the garden into separate areas.
Each one of these walls was built with pastel-coloured ceramic blocks, chosen for an earthy aesthetic that looks as though they have "appeared to come from the soil of the garden".
However, in this scheme, the ceramics were designed in collaboration with Ceramica Cumella to double as load-bearing and insulating structural elements.
Running parallel to the four ceramic-clad walls are four rectilinear boxes. These contain the centre's private rooms and offer visitors to the centre both acoustic and visual privacy.
According to AL_A, these "are the only recognisable building forms" from the outside, and they have therefore been covered in reflective stainless steel surfaces to help them blend in with the gardens.
However, rather than using flat mirrors, each stainless steel element has undulations on its surface to create distorted, impressionistic reflections.
This also prevents an optical illusion of continued open space, preventing birds from becoming confused and colliding with them.
Each private room has direct access to one of the four garden areas through full-height glazed sliding doors. The gardens are uniquely landscaped but each nod to the ecology of the New Forest.
Inside, the spaces between the walls and private rooms are left open as flexible communal areas that can be adapted to the centre's needs.
The interiors have deliberately pared-back finishes to offer visitors a calming environment that retains focus on the surrounding gardens.
There are large sliding windows throughout, while a polished concrete floor has been introduced to softly reflect the colours of the planting outside.
More recently, Steven Holl completed a luminous centre next to Britain's oldest hospital and Heatherwick Studio designed a plant-filled venue in Leeds.
In 2019, Benedetta Tagliabue and Patricia Urquiola became the first designers to create a building for the charity in mainland Europe – the Maggie's Barcelona at Sant Pau Hospital.

World Bulletin/News Desk
Starting July 1, Filipinos can apply for multiple-entry visas for short-term trips to Japan, part of the East Asian country's relaxed visa rules for select Southeast Asian countries, reported Rappler.
"The Government of Japan has decided to begin issuance from July 1, of multiple entry visas for short-term stay to nationals of the Republic of the Philippines (ordinary passport holders) who reside in their home country," the Japan Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) said in a news release Tuesday, June 25.
The MOFA release said applicants will have to meet "certain conditions." They will also be required to have machine-readable passports that meet the standards of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), or an ordinary IC passport.
The multiple-entry visas will allow Filipinos to stay in Japan for a period of 15 days, and the visas will be valid for up to 3 years.
"The further development of Japan-Philippines exchange is expected as a result of the issuance of multiple entry visas, including increase in the number of tourists from the Philippines who visit Japan and the enhancement of the ease of business transactions between the two countries," the MOFA said.
"Japan will continue to accept and deliver Visa applications for Japan through accredited agencies," the Japanese Embassy in Manila said in a news release Thursday, June 27.
Citizens of Vietnam will also be granted the privilege, while Indonesians, who are already eligible for multiple-entry visas for short-term stays, will have their lengths of stay extended from 15 days to up to 30 days.
Lifted for Thais, Malaysians
Visa requirements for citizens of Thailand and Malaysia, meanwhile, have been lifted for short-term stays.
For Malaysia, citizens must have an ordinary IC passport to use this privilege; those who do not have an IC passport will still be encouraged to apply for a visa.
In the case of Thailand, there will be no visa requirements for Thai citizens who will visit Japan for 15 days or less; for trips longer than 15 days, visas will still be required.
Prior to this, only citizens of Brunei and Singapore were allowed to enter Japan without a visa.
These relaxed visa requirements are part of Japan's measures to increase tourism traffic, and are part of the commemoration of the 40th year of Japan's engagement with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
Said the MOFA: "Through the years, ASEAN and Japan have forged close cooperation towards peace, stability, development and prosperity in Asia. They have established close business partnership with total bilateral trade amounting to 248 billion US dollars in 2011. ASEAN Member States are major foreign direct investment destinations for Japanese enterprises."
"For 2013, Japan and ASEAN Member States plan to carry out exchange projects in a wide range of fields, including political dialogue, economy, culture, youth, and tourism," the MOFA added.
Japan is targeting 10 million tourists this 2013. The Japan Times reported that visitors from the Philippines rose 28.2% in the period of January to April this year, compared to the same period last year.

I have just finished watching one of the best cartoons I have ever seen and that cartoon is ROBOTS! From start to finish it is a visual treat, with enough gags to interest and provide novelty even after repeated viewings. The characters are heartwarming, Robin Williams voices a full blown nutjob as usual, and the films climax will have you cheering as the "little man" triumphs over the forces of greed. Ratchet is a villain in the Macbeth mould; infirm of purpose but motivated by Mommy in the pursuit of profit; mommy in this case being a diabolical robot of darkest motive. Oh yes in Robots we have the feelgood DVD of late 2005.... get thee hence and buy it now! you'll not regret it. The extras aren't bad, the previews quite good but with a main feature THIS GOOD it can stand on its own anyway. Um...did I mention it was good?

SORT BY Relevancy
Welcome to The B1G Show! Today we kickoff our 2013 Big Ten Preview Series with the Nebraska Cornhuskers Preview Show, with special guest Steve Sipple, who covers the Cornhuskers for the Lincoln Journal Star.
Join us as we breakdown Nebraska's offseason storylines, stock report, spotlight key players, examine the team’s biggest question marks and make our bold predictions. In addition, we will go through the entire 2013 schedule game-by-game, while highlighting the most critical matchups and giving you the Cornhuskers best and worst case scenarios for the upcoming season.
Hosted by Daniel Mogollon and Lloyd Ribner III.
The Nebraska Cornhuskers are coming off a 39-19 win in their Big Ten opener against the Illinois Fighting Illini, which saw them rumble for 335 yards. Senior offensive tackle Jeremiah Sirles was a critical part of the offensive line that led the way. Sirles was a second-team All-Big Ten performer as a junior and he will be making his 34 career start this Saturday at Purdue, the second most on the team.
The fifth-year senior talks about playing for Bo Pelini, the importance of being versatile along the offensive line, last week's win over Illinois and this week's contest at Purdue. Sirles also takes us off the field, as we talk about his love of the Denver Broncos, his career interests outside of football, as well as his favorite doughnut.
Interview is from Wednesday night's Week 7 preview show.
Length: 14 Minutes
The BTPowerhouse staff discuss the Big Ten's performance in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge and how fans should react to the string of recent upsets to teams like Michigan, Nebraska, and Purdue among others.
Bo pelini who is next what other teams have unrealistic expectations kansas better get him if they want a good head coach I would not be surprised if big named coaches turn this job down. What do Nebraska fans really expect because it does not get much better than 9-3 and being ranked in the top 25 on a yearly basi
Big 10 conference
On the show, we break down Purdue's trip to Nebraska, where the Boilermakers will take on the Cornhuskers following their bye week. Can Purdue, a big underdog, get the upset? And how? We talk to Omaha World-Herald beat writer Jon Nyatawa about the Huskers, plus give our predictions, over/under thoughts, "Boys," and more. Also, we feature Raheem Mostert, who has reclaimed a big role for the Boilermakers, and talk to Ricardo Allen about his NFL experience.
Our pre-Thanksgiving Day football preview show returns tonight!
AXE WEEK/HATE WEEK has begun for the Wisconsin Badgers and Minnesota Golden Gophers, and with some controversy! Paul Bunyan's Axe will NOT be on the sideline but presented afterward and staged near the goalpost of the winning team. What are your thoughts on this?
We'll break down the match-ups and give our predictions for the game -- which has the Big Ten West division championship ON THE LINE! Will Melvin Gordon continue his Heisman Trophy campaign? Can Wisconsin stop a hot Minnesota team that comes off the heels of upsetting Nebraska at home?
The Green Bay Packers play their toughest game to date against the New England Patriots. Can Aaron Rodgers and Company beat the best team in the NFL at Lambeau Field Sunday afternoon?
No guests this week because we think we're capable of talking about the Huskers, Hurricanes, Sun Devils, and a variety of other college football teams without anyone's help! (We're probably totally wrong.) Plus, there's a round of Ask Jane and we settle which compass direction is college football's best.
