Top of the Morning: Nadine Samonte's Delicate Pregnancy Was Due to Autoimmune DisorderPlus, baby Baby Zia starts school (whoa!), Filipino students win gold at Singapore Math contest, new trailer for Disney's Moana, and more!by Rachel Perez .
1. Nadine Samonte a happy preggy despite difficult pregnancy
The mom-to-be recently revealed that she has Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome or APAS, an autoimmune disorder that can cause blood clots to form in the veins and arteries, causing pregnancy complications like miscarriage or stillbirth. To manage her condition, Nadine explained, "I take 53 tablets a day--30 tablets for amino acids. Bukod pa yung injection ko na Heparin for my APAS para sa blood clot." While the pregnancy has been difficult and expensive, Nadine said it has all been worth it. "I'm super-super ready na!" she said during opening of Baby Company in SM Megamall last Saturday, August 6. The excited mom said her daughter's (to be named Heather Sloane) nursery is complete and her hospital bag is ready come due date. (pep,ph)

Kapuso Primetime Queen Marian Rivera told Pep.ph that she and husband Dingdong Dantes have enrolled their daughter in music school. Describing what the classes will be like, Marian Rivera explained, "About music lang naman, mingling sa ibang mga bata. Halimbawa, sounds like a bird, ipapakita yung book ng bird. 'It’s a bird. Tapos, tweet, tweet,'" Baby Zia is barely a year old, but her mom is looking at the classes as a way to develop her little girl's social skills. "Ayoko naman na kapag nilalabas ko siya, takot siya sa tao. Gusto ko namang ma-develop ang personality niya," she added. Marian also said that once Zia turns 1, she will have swimming and piano lessons, too. The hands-on mom also revealed that Baby Zia's new trick is the "rat face," which Marian taught her when dad Dingdong was away in London. (pep.ph)

The Greek Police announced that 16,836 foreign nationals were brought for questioning during the first month that Xenios Zeus was instigated, according to the European Council on Refugees and Exiles (ECRE). A staggering 80% of those brought in for questioning were legal residents. Only 2,144 held by the police didn’t have their residence permits in order.
Xenios Zeus, which was the ancient Greek god of hospitality, is a good example of how ineffective immigration policies and economic problems can force xenophobia to poison a society.
Sensible people understand that scapegoating immigrants for the country’s economic problems is a red herring. Greek politicians and civil servants, with the blessings of the public, are more interested in blaming defenseless immigrants and refugees for Greece’s problems than themselves.
Whenever a person or a group scapegoats immigrants and minorities, it is a clear sign of cowardice and opportunism.
The Greek public should critically look at the country’s politicians, civil servants and financial sector and launch a “Xenios Zeus” to uproot corruption that festers in that country.
ECRE writes in a statement: ”Greek authorities claim that as a result of Xenios Zeus, the influx of illegal immigration in the area of Evros has been reduced by 84%. However, according to the newspaper ‘To Vima’, the “Xenios Zeus” operation has resulted in a dramatic increase in the smuggling tariffs for entering Greece from Turkey and leaving Greece for Italy. A few months ago, smugglers would request 2,500 to 3,000 Euro for a safe passage, while would-be migrants are now asked to pay up to 5,000 Euros.”
Groups like ECRE, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and the Greek Council of Refugees have criticized the massive police roundup of immigrants.

Letter to Congressional Leaders Transmitting the Report on Certification of the Nuclear Weapons Stockpile
In my September 22, 1997, message transmitting the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty to the Senate for advice and consent to ratification, I announced that I would provide to the appropriate committees of Congress the annual certification of the nuclear weapons stockpile by the Secretaries of Defense and Energy and accompanying report. Enclosed is a copy of that certification and report.
I am pleased to note the Secretaries' conclusion that the nuclear stockpile has no safety or reliability concerns that require underground testing at this time. Problems that have arisen in the stockpile are being addressed and resolved without underground nuclear testing to ensure the stockpile remains safe and reliable. In reaching this conclusion, the Secretaries obtained the advice of the Directors of the National Weapons Laboratories, the Commander in Chief, United States Strategic Command, and the Nuclear Weapons Council.
WILLIAM J. CLINTON
NOTE: Letters were sent to the congressional leadership and selected Representatives and Senators. This letter was released by the Office of the Press Secretary on April 26. An original was not available for verification of the content of this letter.

Very unusual people in this book.
Thunderstruck (The Thunderbird Brotherhood, #1) by Wren Michaels releases today in the Adult, Paranormal, Romance genre.
Reseda Juarez is dead. Though she functions as a human, inside she’s an emotionless weapon, trapped between the living and the undead. Cold and unrelenting, she’s used as a super-soldier by the government in a special task force to hunt preternatural beings to the brink of extinction.
One night, five years ago, Kane killed an innocent and his brother lost the love of his life. The aftermath forces Kane to become the alpha of the legendary Thunderbirds. He now must protect what’s left of his family from the tribe of wolf shifters who ripped them apart.
When Reseda’s mother is bitten by a wolf, she and Kane are forced to work together to find the Mayan Pul Yah stone to heal her—the same stone that gifted Reseda to the life she now lives. But the journey is riddled with more than wolves, also searching for the stone. Something strange happens to their powers when they’re together, and they struggle to fight the intense attraction between them. The deeper they go, the more secrets unravel, until love is the only thing that can defeat an enemy no one saw coming.
The trees no longer talked to Kane. Songs that once whistled on the wind had disappeared. When a heart hardens, the windows of the soul shut, blocking any whispers with intent to reopen it. The elder spirits shunned him now, bringing forth more than his own personal punishment, and Kane had to live with that for the rest of his life.
Her screams still shook him. They used to only haunt his sleep. Now they echoed in his ears while awake, the torment of an innocent death ever-present to remind him that he was a killer. A monster.
Who’s to say he was any better than those who he tried to save her from? He should have saved her from himself. No matter the circumstances, a life had been extinguished by his hands. A life so young that should have been lived to its fullest, but she never got that chance because of him. Though the Great Spirits no longer spoke to Kane, they reminded him of it every day.
Golden eyes glinted in the moonlight, surrounding the bases of the towering redwoods. A pungent odor hung heavy in the air, covering the scent of the rain and peat moss.
Those fucking wolves again.
Every night they encroached further upon the reservation. Once friends of the Nuu-Chah-Nulth tribe, the wolves preferred power over peace, breaking the centuries-long pact between their tribes. Because of them, Kane’s tattoos activated. Because of them, he now protected the reservation.
Kane clenched a fist at his side, sending a pulsating tremor the length of his long arms. The throbbing of his veins echoed the thunder in his heart.
Another scent hit him, and he stumbled back a step. Adrenaline. Underneath it, the distinctive smell of a female. His nose twitched as he circled to pick up the direction it came from.
“I smell it, too.” Nodin flanked Kane’s side along with Tag. The same stark tribal tattoos marked each of their arms and chests.
“I also smell wet-dog.” Cupping his mouth, Tag stood into the wind and barked out a whimper, antagonizing the beasts.
“You two play with the pups. I’ll track the human.” Kane pointed to the edge of the tree line. “Maybe toss them a stick.” Shock waves rumbled the ground beneath their feet as Kane curled long fingers into his palm. Roots burst from the Earth and snapped through the air like whips.
Wren hails from the frozen tundra of Wisconsin where beer and cheese are their own food groups. But a cowboy swept her off her feet and carried her to Texas, where she promptly lost all tolerance for cold and snow. Fueled by coffee, dreams, and men in kilts, Wren promises to bring you laughter, heart-fluttering romance, and action that keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Application of pod propulsion on a variety of vessels such as cruise ships, ropax, and tanker vessels has increased significantly over the last two decades owing to the benefits offered by pods. Despite the clear benefits, operators are still reluctant to have this innovation on board because of unknown overall reliability. Many of the published research efforts in the area of pod propulsion have been concentrated on hydrodynamics and manoeuvring aspects with little in the area of quantitative pod reliability assessment. In this paper, the applicability and appropriateness of various quantitative fault tree solution techniques (exact and approximate) for the reliability assessment of a generic pod propulsion system are investigated. Also, the paper demonstrates that the proposed quantitative reliability assessment methodology can be used to make design changes by identifying critical components in system functionality and modifying the system with improvements, where needed.

Amidst rumours in the community, some people are being led to believe that HAECC is closing. This is not true! HAECC is a vibrant and successful adult centre with many diverse programs going on and will continue its tradition of excellence in the near and far future. HAECC has adult education, Horticulture, CEGEP, and a special needs adult program all going on everyday in the fall and winter semesters. The gym run by Energie Cardio is in full swing and the community groups can come in and use the facilities and partner with HAECC.
The CEGEP program of Champlain College St.Lambert will no longer be giving the social science D.E.C. to a new group in the fall because of failed labour talks between the Teachers’ union and the Administration of the College itself. The first two groups who are already there at HAECC for their CEGEP will continue as usual.
We are proud to announce that the first group will be graduating after the next semester and the second group is two thirds through their D.E.C. Congratulations to all of the fine students in the CEGEP program and of HAECC.
Thanks for supporting HAECC!

A DEMONSTRATION will be held outside Channel 4’s London offices this month in protest against its commissioning of a comedy series about the Irish famine.
Campaigner Austen Harney, Chair of CRAIC (Campaign for the Rights and Actions of Irish Communities) and Race Relations Secretary for the South East Region TUC, is organising the event.
“Its outrageous that Channel 4 thinks it can get away with making a joke of the millions of people who died or were displaced as a result of the famine,” he told The Irish Post.
“Myself and fellow CRAIC campaigners feel we have no other choice but to express ourselves peacefully in a demonstration at their London offices. We encourage anyone else who is offended by this to join us.”
The demonstration, which is due to take place at Channel 4’s Horseferry Road headquarters at 1pm on Saturday, January 17, will include a range of speakers, Mr Harney claims, but the line-up has yet to be confirmed.
“We are responding to the reaction seen in the last few days, so we still have some details to finalise,” he added, “but we will keep everyone informed.”
See The Irish Post next week for further details about this event.


SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois House of Representatives unanimously adopted a resolution on Tuesday mourning the death of former Kendall County Board member Jessie Hafenrichter, who passed away in late February. The resolution, HR 334, was introduced and sponsored by State Rep. Keith Wheeler (R-Oswego).
“Jessie Hafenrichter truly made a difference for Kendall County,” said Rep. Wheeler. “Having been born in Oklahoma less than 40 years after the legendary Land Rush, Jessie brought that same pioneer spirit to Kendall County as a young woman who blazed her own trail and inspired future generations of women leaders to pursue public service. Jessie’s warmth, humor, and her life’s work will endure in the community and in the many lives she touched over the years.”
Hafenrichter served for over 40 years as a member of the Kendall County Board of Tax Review, the last 25 years as its Chairman. She was elected to the Kendall County Board in 1996 and served as a member until 2012. While on the County Board, she served as the board liaison to the health department for 10 years and as Vice-Chairman of the Kendall County Housing Authority for many years. She also fought for land preservation and for public transportation in Kendall County.
A copy of HR 334 will be presented to Hafenrichter’s family in the near future.

Though insisting that 'the cast and crew said they loved it,' the 'Born to Die' singer admits she's not a 'natural performer.'
Lana Del Rey finally broke her silence about her much-criticized performance on "Saturday Night Live". The internet meme told Rolling Stone that despite what people thought about her show, she "actually felt good about it." She gushed, "I thought I looked beautiful and sang fine."
Del Rey furthermore insisted, "It felt OK." She recalled what people on the set said about her performance, "The cast and crew said they loved it." She, however, was quick to add, "I know some people didn't like it, but that's just the way I perform, and my fans know that."
When asked if she's comfortable on the stage, Del Rey admitted, "I'm nervous." The "Video Games" singer elaborated her statement, "I'm not a natural performer or exhibitionist. When I was younger, I hated the focus, and it made me feel strange."
Of the backlash she received lately, she shrugged it off. "It's nothing new. When I walk outside, people have something to say about it. It wouldn't have mattered if I was absolutely excellent. People don't have anything nice to say about this project. I'm sure that's why you're writing about it," she stated.

A number of “Shot on iPhone 6” advertisements have begun surfacing on Twitter and Instagram over the past few days, with spots appearing on the back cover of The New Yorker magazine, horizontal posters in London’s Euston Square subway station and in the Malaysian city of Bangsar, billboards in Los Angeles and Toronto, the side of a tall skyscraper in Dubai and more.
This is brilliant. Those pictures are so high quality, that the sentence underneath the picture, “Shot on iPhone 6”, is the only advertising the iPhone needs. The camera is second to none when it comes to phones, and it’s slowly creeping up to any camera, period.
I’ve said it before and it’s just getting more obvious: the iPhone is the best camera in the world.
