Bam's Story
Go Negosyo Act Tutulong sa Pagbangon ng Eastern Visayas, Palawan
In Inclusive Growth, Issues
Senator Bam Aquino believes that the Go Negosyo Act will help rebuild lives and businesses destroyed by Typhoon Yolanda once it is enacted into law.
"The measure contains several provisions that can help Yolanda-stricken communities more quickly get back up on their feet," said Aquino, the bill's author and chairman of the Senate Committee on Trade, Commerce, and Entrepreneurship.
The Go Negosyo Act seeks to support entrepreneurs who want to start or expand their micro,small, or medium enterprises (MSMEs), which is the main source of income and livelihood of many Filipinos.
The bill was approved Last Monday, the Senate approved the bill on the third and final reading.
The measure also aims to provide access to sources of financing, which is badly needed by entrepreneurs who have lost their livelihood to Yolanda.
"Without access to capital and other forms of support and assistance, I think it will take a very long time before communities get back on their feet," Aquino said.
Aside from access to financing, the Go Negosyo Act mandates the creation of Negosyo Centers that will serve as hubs for business registration and processing, to facilitate easeof doing business.
The Negosyo Centers will also offer services on business conceptualization and feasibility,capability building, human resources, marketing and other support services.
"The Go Negosyo Act provides for everything that an entrepreneur will need to start or expand their business," Aquino added.
A few months ago,Aquino visited several areas devastated by the super typhoon and personally witnessed its effects to businesses, especially in Tacloban, considered as the center of business in Leyte.
Sen. Aquino is also currently in Coron, Palawan to meet with local business leaders and fund managers.
"By jumpstarting business operations in devastated areas, we will be able to provide livelihood to residents, strengthen the local economy, and boost the recovery of devastated areas," Aquino said.
Earlier, the senator called on the rehabilitation commission to provide financial help to entrepreneurs who lost their livelihood to the super typhoon.
Sen. Aquino also urged government financial institutions, such as Land Bank of the Philippines,to give loans to business owners at a low interest rate.

Stakeholders Laud Passage of Senator Bam's Go Negosyo Bill
Stakeholders have lauded the Senate's approval of the Go Negosyo Act on third reading, saying it will help create more employment and income opportunities for all Filipinos.
"The entrepreneur community fully supports the Go Negosyo Bill as this will provide sustained assistance and mentorship support to MSMEs in all the provinces," said entrepreneur Joey Concepcion, referring to the measure authored by Sen. Bam Aquino and approved by the Senate on the eve of EDSA 28.
"This (measure) will also facilitate the ease of starting and growing a business and spur regional development to create progress and prosperity in the region," added Concepcion, who is also known for his all-out support for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs).
Rody Bioco, president of Bukidnon Kaamulan Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc., echoed Concepcion's view, calling the passage of the Go Negosyo Act as a "welcome development" and a "measure whose time has come".
"Like government, we really hope to attract more people to open up businesses in our communities, but the hassles of putting up and registering a business, filing documents, [and so on] have become too burdensome," Bioco said.
"We look forward to the day when ease of doing business will become a reality, so that we can attract more local and foreign investors to our area," he added.
Aquino, chairman of the Senate Committee on Trade, Commerce, and Entrepreneurship, emphasized during the EDSA 28 celebration that "economic empowerment should go side by side with political freedom."
"We should come together again to level the playing field and provide jobs for millions of Filipinos. In this sense, tuloy pa rin ang laban," the senator stressed.
Aquino said the Go Negosyo Act can help fulfill both as the measure is envisioned to boost job creation and cut unemployment.
"With the Go Negosyo Act, we can boost job creation in many parts of the country, by ensuring the success and growth of MSMEs," said Aquino.
According to figures cited by Aquino, at least 66 percent of jobs in the labor force are generated by the MSME sector, which in turn comprises 99 percent of all enterprises in the Philippines.
The bill calls for the creation of Negosyo Centers, under the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), in each city and municipality around the country.
These Negosyo centers are meant to make it easier for entrepreneurs to register and start up their businesses, as well as gain access to sources of financing.
The Negosyo Centers will also provide courses and development programs, training, give advice on business conceptualization and feasibility, financing, management, capability building, human resources, marketing and other support services.
"This way, we are helping micro enterprises 'graduate' into small enterprises, and small enterprises graduate to medium, and so on. For many Filipinos, MSMEs can be the vehicle on the road to prosperity, but government needs to do its share in providing much-needed support," said Sen. Aquino.
Sen. Bam Aquino's Message on the 28th Anniversary of the People Power Revolution
Today, we celebrate the 28th anniversary of the People Power Revolution. Through this peaceful and bloodless protest by the people, we have achieved freedom from the clutches of dictatorship.
However, our fight against the prevalent inequality and lack of economic opportunities continues.
As we came together in 1986, once again, let us join hands to help the country's poor and give everyone a chance to gain employment and livelihood.
At present, the revolution to end poverty continues and more than ever, we need to unite to fulfill the full promise of EDSA.
MENSAHE NI SEN. BAM AQUINO SA PAGDIRIWANG NG PEOPLE POWER REVOLUTION
Sa araw na ito, ipinagdiriwang natin ang ika-28 na anibersaryo ng People Power Revolution. Sa pamamagitan ng payapang pagpoprotesta ng taumbayan, nakamit natin ang kalayaan mula sa diktadurya.
Hanggang ngayon, tuloy pa rin ang ating pakikibaka laban sa kawalan ng patas na pagkakataon pagdating sa kabuhayan at ekonomiya.
Tulad ng ating pagkakaisa noong 1986, nawa'y muli tayong magsama-sama upang tulungan ang mahihirap at bigyan ng pagkakataon ang lahat na makapagtrabaho at magnegosyo.
Sa ngayon, tuloy pa rin ang rebolusyon para tapusin ang kahirapan. Lalo't higit na kailangan nating magkaisa para lubusang maisakatuparan ang pangako ng EDSA.
Go Negosyo Act Passed on 3rd Reading: To Address Massive Unemployment – Sen. Bam
In Inclusive Growth, Issues, Trade, Commerce and Entrepreneurship
The Go Negosyo Act (SBN 2046), which was passed by the Senate on third and final reading on Monday afternoon, is envisioned boost job creation and cut unemployment.
This was shared by Go Negosyo Act author, Sen. Bam Aquino, as he thanked colleagues in the Upper Chamber for supporting the swift passage of the bill.
"With the Go Negosyo Act, we can boost job creation in many parts of the country, by ensuring the success and growth of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs)."
"Kapag mas maraming negosyo ang nagbukas at lumago, mas marami silang mabibigyan ng kabuhayan at trabaho sa kani-kanilang mga komunidad," the senator explained.
"Sa bawat sari-sari store, bakery, o talyer na magbukas at lumago, halimbawa, kakailanganin nila ng mga empleyado, supplier, at mga partner na magkakaroon rin ng pagkakataong kumita at umasenso. Magkakaroon ng kita't kabuhayan ang mas maraming pamilyang Pilipino."
"Sa paglago ng mga maliliit na negosyo, lahat tayo panalo," Aquino stressed.
The bill mandates the creation of Negosyo Centers, under the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), in each city and municipality around the country. These Negosyo centers are meant to make it easier for entrepreneurs to register and start up their businesses, as well as gain access to sources of financing.
The Negosyo Centers are also meant to provide courses and development programs, training, give advice on business conceptualization and feasibility, financing, management, capability building, human resources, marketing and other support services.
"With the support of our colleagues in government and the private sector, we can make the Go Negosyo Act a game-changing piece of legislation that can cut unemployment in the country by half–or even more," Aquino said.
Sen. Bam's Go Negosyo Bill: Ready, Set, Go!
In Issues
The Senate has passed on second reading the Go Negosyo Bill, which seeks to address the Philippines's rising unemployment rate by speeding up the current business registration process and boosting support for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs).
The latest figures show that 12.1 million or 27.5 percent of Filipinos are unemployed, the highest since August 2011 when the number reached 29.4 percent.
"There is an urgent need to create more jobs in the country. One way to do it is to make it easier for businesses to start up and succeed–which this bill will enable," said Sen. Bam Aquino, author of Senate Bill No. 2046 or the Go Negosyo Bill, and chairman of the Senate Committee on Trade, Commerce and Entrepreneurship.
The lawmaker believes that by facilitating ease of doing business, potential investors and would-be entrepreneurs will be encouraged to put up their own businesses and boost hiring around the country.
With the bill slated to be tackled again on the floor next week, Aquino encourages fellow senators to join the push for its final approval.
"I call on my fellow lawmakers to join hands and push for the bill's approval because it will be a big help to the government's efforts to reduce unemployment and push for inclusive growth," Aquino stressed.
If enacted into law, the measure will be the first inclusive growth-related act approved by the 16th Congress.
Department of Trade and Industry Secretary Gregorio Domingo welcomed the passage of the bill. "We laud the passage of the Go Negosyo Act on second reading at the Senate. We're grateful to have a champion in the Senate like Senator Aquino, and we're confident that with a law like this, we'll be able to support MSMEs as an engine of inclusive growth," Domingo said.
According to the bill, the MSME sector is essential and should be given enough attention as it comprises 99 percent of all businesses in the Philippines and at least 66 percent of all jobs in the labor force.
"The numbers show that boosting the MSME sector will help us create more decent, sustainable jobs that can lift many Filipinos out of poverty," Aquino stressed.
The Go Negosyo Bill is designed to update two existing laws: the Magna Carta for MSMEs and the BMBE Law.
The measure strengthens the Magna Carta for MSMEs by establishing Negosyo Centers supervised by DTI in each city and municipality as a hub for MSME registration and development.
Through the help of the Negosyo Center, registration processes of agencies can be streamlined, making it easier for entrepreneurs to put up their businesses.
The Negosyo Center can also boost the development of MSMEs, by providing information for training, financing, and marketing; creating mentoring programs with the help of private institutions and local chambers; and opening access to grants and other forms of financial assistance.
Senate, House Committees on Trade Seal Cooperation
In Issues, Trade, Commerce and Entrepreneurship
The chairmen of the Senate and House Committees on Trade and Commerce have agreed to synchronize their respective legislative agenda, to hasten the passage of important measures that will help boost the economy.
In a meeting, Senator Bam Aquino and Las Piñas Rep. Mark Villar agreed to pursue the same direction and fast-track the approval of measures that will help create jobs; boost micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs); and strengthen the government's push for inclusive growth.
This marks the first time in the history of the two committees that their chairmen have agreed to harmonize their respective legislative agenda to speed up the passage of crucial bills into law.
"It is important for the two committees to pursue the same direction so that we can hasten the passage of bills that will support the MSME sector and open job opportunities," Sen. Aquino said.
If these crucial bills will be enacted into law, the senator said it will be easier for the government to pursue its inclusive growth advocacy and make the country's economic growth felt by every Filipino.
The two lawmakers forged the alliance after both saw the need for legislative measures to boost the economy and create additional jobs.
However, they both expressed concern that these bills will not gain ground and gather dust at the committee level.
"Now that the House and Senate have one legislative agenda in terms of trade and commerce, these important bills have a strong chance to be passed into law at the soonest possible time," Aquino said.
Among the measures that will be prioritized by the two committees are the Go Negosyo Bill, the Fair Competition Bill, the Coastwise Trade Bill, the Exact Change Bill, and the Lemon Law Bill.
The two committees are also planning to pursue amendments in the Consumer Act and Price Act, where it was proposed that construction materials be put under price control during calamities.
The two lawmakers are also planning to conduct a joint oversight committee hearing regarding the challenges of financing small businesses.
Aquino and Villar both have extensive background in business before joining politics. Sen. Aquino is a multi-award-winning social entrepreneur, while Rep. Villar is the son of former senator Manny Villar and present senator Cynthia Villar, who are known as entrepreneurs.

A Logos Bible Software Blog
Review: Reformed Dogmatics (5 vols.) by Geerhardus Vos
June 7, 2014 by Logos Reformed
Geerhardus Vos wrote his Reformed Dogmatics in Dutch, by hand, in 1896. Fourteen years later, some unknown individual transcribed Vos'work (still in Dutch) into print. For the last 103 years, this printed work has been inaccessible to theology students who never got around to learning Dutch. It is to the high praise of Logos Bible Software that this important work of Reformed theology is now being made available in English. At this point, only the first volume (encompassing theology proper) and the second volume (dealing with anthropology) are complete.
You can pre-order this collection here, but will have to wait until the entire set is complete before getting access. You can get immediate access to the completed volumes by getting the Reformed Platinum or Reformed Diamond libraries which include this set.
Vos'Reformed Dogmatics holds two big surprises: its clarity and its question-and-answer format.
Regarding the first surprise: Amongst my fellow seminarians, the name Geerhardus Vos conjures up impressions of great, rich biblical theology. But it also brings memories of a borderline-incomprehensible writing style. Those who have read Vos'Biblical Theology or his seminal Pauline Eschatology may relish the opportunity to learn once again from the master. They may not, however, be too excited about actually reading it, as Vos doesn't have a reputation for being the most lucid of writers.
Because of this reputation, right out of the gate, the greatest delight I had from reading Reformed Dogmatics was in the undeniable clarity of the writing and argumentation that Vos employs. It is common to think of Vos as primarily a biblical theologian. His most important works that have been published so far have been in this vein. But the clarity of Reformed Dogmatics causes me to wonder if his true passion might have been in the systematics courses that he taught for so many years.
I am quite certain that Richard Gaffin deserves much of the credit for his work on the final form of the translation. I know that Dr. Gaffin is experienced at translating from Dutch into English, and his skills are put to excellent use here.
Regarding the second surprise: The book is not written in a traditional way (as one might find in say, Calvin's Institutes or Bavinck's own Reformed Dogmatics). Instead, it's written in a question-and-answer format more similar to Turretin's Institutes. At first I was distressed by this, feeling initially that I was reading class notes or scraps of ideas. This is not the case. When Vos gives a brief answer, it is welcome. And when he gives long answers, it's because a lengthy case needs to be made. The format is welcome because it contributes to a sense that the answers have been carefully organized. I quickly grew used to it.
If I were to make one complaint (and this would be minor), it's that many of the questions that Vos raises aren't symmetrical. There's something thoughtful and thorough about the sorts of questions that Turretin raises in his Institutes that seems to be missing in Vos'own work here. This means that some subjects seem to be covered a bit more thoroughly than others. As an example, Vos asks the question, "How do you refute Sabellianism?"and then gives a four-part answer that's succinct, well organized, and exceedingly helpful. But there's no similar question for the converse error—Tritheism. This may be because Tritheism simply is not a realistic option, but Sebellianism shouldn't be, either. In a systematic treatment, I do think that addressing this question would have made sense.
Vos was slightly younger than Herman Bavinck, whose own Reformed Dogmatics we all know. It seems that Vos' discussions of numerous loci of theology (especially divine passibility and atemporality) line up very happily with those of Bavinck. If Bavinck reflects the mainstream of Dutch theological thought, it would appear that Vos reflects a similar approach to theology, albeit with a different didactic approach. Many students I have talked to find Bavinck's discussion of some issues hard to follow, as he spends much time talking about other views before he gets to discussing his own. In this respect, Vos presents a contrast to Bavinck.
It is my hope that support and interest in Vos'Reformed Dogmatics will continue to grow in the Reformed community. I am enthusiastic to have the guiding voice of Geerhardus Vos added to discussions not only of biblical theology but of systematics as well. It is a subject that Vos taught for many years, and one that those of us who were not his students firsthand now know he was ably suited to.

Great review Adam! 🙂 I especially resonated with what you said regarding feeling initially distressed that you were mainly reading class notes. Now you've got me wanting to dig deeper. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of these come out! By the way, weren't the transcripts for this earlier on in Vos's career? The preface says the handwritten transcripts were from 1896. While his Biblical Theology was published in 1948. I wonder what would have been the result if this had been one of his final works?!?

The government has blasted 'greedy and spoilt' child victims of medical negligence for expecting to be compensated for medical blunders which have left them permanently injured or maimed, at the expense of more needy and deserving victims of the recession, such as struggling Goldman Sachs executives.
It would be irresponsible of the government to allow taxpayers' money to be spent on spoilt and greedy injured children when the same amount of money could be used to help more deserving people, such as struggling Goldman Sachs executives who may have had to go without their usual massive bonuses this Christmas time.
The government is planning to withdraw the right for legal aid in cases of medical negligence, including children, which means only the wealthiest children will be able to claim compensation if they are injured or maimed due to medical errors.
Taxpayers' money should be targeted to help only the most needy in times of austerity such as this. A sum of 17 million could be used to buy a lot of important necessities, such as a couple of villas on the French Riviera for the most needy banking executives, several Ferraris for hard-up derivatives traders and a lot of champagne lunches for destitute government ministers.
OK. That was the satire.
According to a report by the Parliamentary Public Accounts Committee published today, large corporations still owe H M Revenue & Customs 25 billion this year alone.
The report also criticises a decision by HM Revenue & Customs to write off 20 million from Goldman Sach's tax bill – without even being bothered to explain why they came to such a decision.
It was also revealed in the report that the recently retired head of HM Revenue & Customs, Dave Hartnett, alone had enjoyed 107 dinners and lunches with companies, tax lawyers and advisers over two years.
The government has announced plans to completely axe legal aid for victims of medical negligence, including children, a saving estimated to be around 17 million.
Please share this information if you feel strongly about it.
I could say a lot but one word will do. Bastards.
Oh yeah. That just about sums up all the arguments in one word.
A triumph for, amongst others, Richard Murphy of Tax Research. His finger has been pointed at the now resigned Hartnett for a very long time. And very good to be able to forgive Margaret Hodge for her blairite past… this is a big one.
£25 billion slipped by whilst 17 billion taken from benefits, including slashing benefits for disabled children by 50%.
Yes – all hail Richard Murphy.
I think you're being awfully kind….


In light of the country's current political climate, the official trailer release of a biographical film about Barack Obama is exciting the Internet. Yay for good and positive news! Barry covers a time in Barack's life before he met our favorite FLOTUS, who does a great impression of him if you haven't seen it yet BTW.
Netflix's newest original film, Barry, looks absolutely stunning. The biopic explores the life and events of Barack Obama as a student at Columbia University in the 80's, as well as the experiences that helped him become the 44th President of the United States. Here's a look at the trailer, check it out below.
Although Twitter is psyched about the movie, this fan wants a JoBama movie too.
Well, this guy too. Okay I guess we ALL want a Joe & Barack feature!
I'll still be waiting for the day I get my JoBama full-length feature film, but until then I suppose Barry will just have to do.
Film buffs may know that this is actually the second Obama biopic released this year, after Southside With You — a film about Barack and Michelle's first date. That one didn't do too well at the box office, but here's hoping Barry wins over more than just the critics.

Associated Press/Japan PoolJapan's Emperor Akihito (left) and Empress Michiko at the Imperial Palace in Tokyo on Tuesday
Japanese emperor abdicates
by Rachel Lynn Aldrich
Posted 4/30/19, 12:44 pm
Japanese Emperor Akihito announced his abdication at a palace ceremony on Tuesday. "Since ascending the throne 30 years ago, I have performed my duties as the emperor with a deep sense of trust in and respect for the people, and I consider myself most fortunate to have been able to do so," Akihito said in his final address. "I sincerely thank the people who accepted and supported me in my role as the symbol of the state."
At midnight, Akihito's reign will end, and his son Crown Prince Naruhito will become the new emperor. Naruhito will formally ascend to the throne on Wednesday and receive his imperial regalia and seals in a separate ceremony.
Akihito, 85, became emperor in 1989 and focused on making amends for World War II. He was the first emperor to marry a commoner. Recent media surveys have shown public support for the imperial family at 80 percent.

Urban Legends of the New Testament surveys forty of the most commonly misinterpreted passages in the New Testament. These "urban legends" often arise because interpreters neglect a passage's context, misuse historical background information, or misunderstand the Greek language. For each New Testament text, professor David Croteau describes the popular, incorrect interpretation and then carefully interprets the passage within its literary and historical context. Careful attention is given to sound principles of biblical interpretation to guide readers through the process and reach a more accurate understanding of each text's meaning. QR codes have been inserted at various points throughout the book. By scanning the code with your mobile device, you can view a video of David Croteau addressing a specific urban legend.
With examples from the Gospels, Acts, the Epistles, and Revelation, Urban Legends of the New Testament will not only help readers avoid missteps in these forty texts but also provide a model for engaging in correct interpretation of other New Testament passages.

Buffalo Bulls Weekend Roundup 10/28
How did UB do this weekend? Let's take a look...
By Matt Gritzmacher Oct 28, 2013, 1:46pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Buffalo Bulls Weekend Roundup 10/28
Brittney Kuras is an outstanding under-the-radar athlete for Buffalo. Branden Oliver is a little bit more well-known.
UB Athletics
Faster than lightning - Sports - The Spectrum - The University of Buffalo
The Thunder of the East Marching Band traveled to the game along with three buses of students, giving the Bulls a distinct crowd advantage over the meager Kent State fan section.
Major props to the UB contingent at Kent. It was apparent on ESPN3 which team had the better support.
Kent State turns over a 41-21 victory to the Buffalo Bulls | cleveland.com
Elton Alexander's story on the Kent victory. Nothing new, but Alexander is a strong writer and the go to MAC guy for the Plain Dealer, which makes him worth following.
Bulls LB Khalil Mack makes big play to spark Buffalo's 41-21 victory over host Kent State - Kent State - Ohio
I include this article mostly just for this quote from Colin Reardon:
"It was a play we put in this week and I was running it good all week," said Reardon, who passed for a career-high 260 yards on 20-of-33 passing. "I just stared it down a little bit. (Mack) did make a great play, I thought there was no way he was going to pick that. If anything, I thought it was the guy who was behind (receiver) Chris (Humphrey). But (Mack) went by and just stuck his hand out and caught it."
WGR 550 SportsRadio - Home of the Buffalo Sabres and the Buffalo Bills - Buffalo Bowl-eligible For First Time Since 2008
Joe Konze, Jr., who I believe writes for the Spectrum, gets UB onto WGR's radar.
UB Women's Basketball to Air on 1270 The Fan - Buffalo Athletics
BUFFALO, NY - Coverage of the upcoming 2013-14 basketball season will be expanding, with UB women's games now available on Sports Radio 1270 WFAN, The Fan. Announced Friday afternoon, the Bulls will now be heard on one of the fastest-growing sports talk radio stations in the region.
This is good. This team is going to be better this year than they have in a while, and if a team takes after its coach, then look out. 1270 is available on iHeartRadio, as well.
Bulls Host Cornell in Opening Dual Meet of the Season - Buffalo Athletics
No score was kept, but UB won 19 of the 32 events.
Women's Swimming and Diving Drops MAC Opener to Toledo - Buffalo Athletics
BUFFALO, NY – The University at Buffalo women's swimming and diving team lost its opening Mid-American Conference dual to Toledo, 192-100, at the Alumni Arena Natatorium on Saturday afternoon. Brittney Kuras won three events and Cristina Czyrka won one for the Bulls.
Rowing Caps Fall Season at the Head of the Schuykill - Buffalo Athletics
In the Open 8 Finals, the Buffalo A boat finished 12th out of 40 teams with a t time of 17:10.55. The Buffalo B boat finished in 26th place with a time of 17:54.98. In the Open Heavy Championship Eights Final, Buffalo finished sixth out of 20 teams with a time of 16:12.22.
UB Offense Frustrated in Non-Conference Finale - Buffalo Athletics
NASHVILLE, TN - Plagued by a handful of near-misses on the offensive end, the Buffalo men's soccer team wrapped up the 2013 non-conference schedule Saturday evening with a road match against Belmont. Russell Cicerone had three shots hit the post in the run of play for UB (3-10-3), including one in the waning minutes of regulation.
Russell Cicerone is going to be a name to watch in future seasons.
Bulls Drop Road Contest At Central Michigan - Buffalo Athletics
BUFFALO, NY - The University at Buffalo volleyball team began a five-match road trip on Friday evening, but fell to the host Central Michigan Chippewas, 3-0. The loss was UB's second straight, as its record now stands at 16-6 and 4-5 in conference play.
The Bulls only had a hitting percentage of 4.2%. That is not very good. Winning teams are usually above 20%
Bulls Drop Four-Setter At Eastern Michigan - Buffalo Athletics
YPSILANTI, MI – The University at Buffalo volleyball team ended a tough MAC road weekend with a 3-1 loss at Eastern Michigan. The loss drops the Bulls to 16-7 on the year and 4-6 in conference play. The Eagles took the contest 21-25, 25-18, 25-18, 25-18 as they outhit the Bulls .228 to .142
The Bulls were led by three players in double figures in kills led by 15 from senior Christine Fritsche. Sophomore Akeila Lain added 11 kills and classmate Tahleia Bishop added 10. Setters Dani Reinert and Taylor Pritchett each finished with 20 assists, while the Bulls also added three service aces.
Senior Kelly Svoboda finished with a team-high 18 digs, while Bishop added 17 for the double-double. The Bulls had 11.0 total blocks, led by six from Lain and five from Amber Hatchett and senior Carissa McKenna.
The Official Website of Eastern Michigan Athletics - Roback Notches 1,000th Dig as Eagles Down Bulls, 3-1
Senior Paige Roback (Maumee, Ohio-Notre Dame Academy) made history as she became one of just seven Eastern Michigan student-athletes to tally 1,000 kills and 1,000 digs in her career. The senior outside hitter notched 17 digs on the night to bring her career total to 1,011 and etch her name in the record books
Better fight in the second match of the weekend, but still a loss to EMU. Fortunately for the volleyball, their conference schedule extends for a few more weekends to get some mojo before the MAC Tournament.
Buffalo And Eastern Michigan Battle To A Draw, 1-1 - Buffalo Athletics
YPSILANTI, MI – The University at Buffalo women's soccer team (5-8-3, 2-6-1 MAC) used a early second half goal from Megan Giesen and some great defense down the stretch to earn a 1-1 draw on the road Friday afternoon at Eastern Michigan (9-6-2, 6-2-1 MAC). "The girls put forth a solid 110 minute effort this afternoon," stated head coach Michael Thomas. "I thought we came out strong in the second half and finally got a ball to bounce our way on the goal. We will try to take this momentum into Sunday's match against a very good Western Michigan squad."
The Bulls scored the game-tying goal just four minutes into the second half of action following a great corner kick volley from Sophie Therien. Therien's corner kick found its way to Jackie Hall in front of the net and her quick shot was turned aside but went right to Giesen who buried her second goal of the season
The Eastern Echo :: EMU soccer team ties University at Buffalo Friday, 1-1
"I think we created some very nice opportunities, but we just got outworked today," EMU head coach Scott Hall said. "We weren't very good with our possession or our combining, but no discredit to Buffalo, they outplayed us today. "
That's a nice quote to read as a Bulls fan, from the EMU coach.
Bulls Denied Conference Road Victory At Western Michigan, 2-1 - Buffalo Athletics
KALAMAZOO, MI – The Buffalo women's soccer team (5-9-3, 2-7-1 MAC) could not pick up points in back-to-back conference games on Sunday afternoon, falling 2-1 at Western Michigan. The Bulls were held scoreless for most of the game before Courtney Mann broke through in the 89th minute with her first goal of the season. Mann took a perfect pass from Sophie Therien and put the Bulls on the board with under a minute left in the contest.
Classic too little too late game in Kalamazoo.

Swimmer Brittney Kuras and Running Back Branden Oliver have been named Athletes of the week. You all already know about Bo, but get used to Kuras' name, too. Swimming and Diving has a long schedule, and she's very, very, good.
Kuras Named MAC Swimmer of the Week - Buffalo Athletics
University at Buffalo swimmer Brittney Kuras was named the Mid-American Conference Women's Swimmer of the Week on Monday. The senior swimmer won three individual events in the team's dual meet against Toledo. It's the second weekly honor for the senior in the last three weeks.

Nothing is nourishing to the body as water. Rinsing the hair regularly with cold water will seal the upper layer of your hair's shaft. This results in the hair becoming smooth and silky. It is advised to use cold water since hot or warm water causes your hair to frizz and lifts your cuticles. If you think cold water is too much during winters, then you can use the bend-and-wash method. It means you just only wash your hair with cold water using a cup pouring slowly through it. Then use shampoo, conditioners and rinse your hair. Get smooth hair with this great idea.
You might have heard of Aloe Vera as an ingredient in every shampoo advertisement. Well, that's because aloe vera has 75 powerful nutrients. It has enzymes that give you healthy hair growth and makes it soft and smooth. The chemical composition of Aloe vera is similar to that of keratin a known nutrient for hair growth. Keratin is essential to healthy silky smooth hair growth. Aloe vera gel penetrates the hair shafts and moisturizes the hair follicles. Aloe vera gel can be prepared in the home by extracting the constituents from aloe vera stems.
Eggs have protein. You can eat it as well as can apply it to your hair. Whether your hair is oily or limp, damaged and dry, egg hair pack can give you the best solution. It is a natural remedy that takes little time to prepare, while it takes no time to make your hair smooth and bouncy. With a mixture of honey, eggs and olive oil, you can get the best egg hair packs for your hair needs. Apply this mixture on your hair in the morning, let it be for half an hour, then rinse it with cold water. Finally, use shampoo to get the silky smooth hair.
Just like eggs, banana is also nutritious for hair growth. Bananas are rich in vitamins, potassium, natural oils, and carbohydrates. A mixture of banana and honey can give surprising results. It is full of antioxidants that fight against the free radicals that are formed in the body due to sun's radiation. Using banana in the hair pack makes your hair feel moisturized and nourished. It treats the irritated scalp and reduces frizz with regular use. When you add yoghurt to the banana pack, it can act as a great hair moisturizer. While using this mix, you need to apply it all over the hair covering everything from the tips to the crown.
Vinegar has been used for hair growth from antiquity, particularly apple cider vinegar. This has been in use as a natural hair rinse in various cultures.
Vinegar has been used for hair growth from antiquity, particularly apple cider vinegar. This has been in use as a natural hair rinse in various cultures. Our hair is slightly acidic with a pH of 5.5. But the chemical shampoos are strongly alkaline. The apple cider vinegar works in such a way that the pH of our scalp is adequately maintained. It is also used for cleaning up the build-up that might have formed due to the use of artificial ingredients. Vinegar helps in closing the cuticles of your hair and makes it softer, shinier and smoother.
Hot oil massage is a nourishing one both for your body and your hair. Having a hot oil bath once in a week can keep your hair strong and smooth. It brings out the natural shine in your hair. It helps you to de-stress. Using oils such as almonds, coconut, rosemary, and lavender, you can massage your hair and take out the harmful chemicals from the roots. A combination of these oils can give you better results. When you are using it, you need to give 20 minutes time before rinsing as the oil takes time to penetrate to the roots. Get smooth hair with the help of this idea.
Proper conditioning of your hair can go a long way in maintaining hair health. It can do wonders for your hair and make it silky and smooth. You need to deep condition your hair once a week. This can help you maintain the hair and make it smooth. This is a harmless way of keeping your hair healthily. There are various natural serums and conditioners available in the market that can keep the hair nourished and moisturized. It gives the hair a smooth and frizz free look. There are specialized leave-in conditioners that are beneficial for people with curly hair.
Many of us use curling irons, blow dryers and straighteners to straighten hair quickly. But that will cause extreme harm to your hair over a period of time. The damages that can occur because of hot irons can damage your scalp and lead to hair loss. Apply a heat protecting serum or hairspray to reverse the damages of heat.
Getting a smooth and silky hair is as easy as ever. With the natural ingredients, a nutritious mix can be produced easily at home. It is both cost effective and advantageous to the health of the hair. Try any one of these natural methods and get that smooth and shiny hair you have always wanted. Women have used these tips to get healthy hair so that they can try out any hairstyle idea they want.


Is it true you can give $10,000 to each child without penalty? Can't you just put your kids' names on your accounts? Is it true there's an annuity that allows you to "flip the switch" and solve all your payment problems?
The answers? NO! NO! NO! The $10,000 is now $13,000... and it's an IRS rule, not a Medicaid rule. Putting your children's names on your accounts protects none of the money. Annuities? The laws have changed - and there is no magic switch.
Often, out of sheer frustration, retirees tell us they're going to solve the problem of qualifying for MassHealth by just giving it all to their kids. But that opens up the possibility of your kids' problems - with their spouses, for example - impacting your money. In addition, most retirees have no idea about the tax implications. For instance, transferring a house to a child changes the property tax classification to non-owner-occupied - and property taxes will go up.
To qualify for MassHealth, you do have to "spend down" your assets. Each state has different rules; but, generally, you're allowed to keep around $2,000 if you are single and $113,640 if you are married.
Sound confusing? It is! The Elder Law Journey can be very complex and no one should try to navigate this road alone. It's too easy to crash and burn. The Estate Planning & Asset Protection Law Center can help. We practice Elder Law, and we've walked a number of families through the Elder Care Journey by providing them with comprehensive estate planning, wills, trusts, powers of attorney, long-term care planning, asset protection programs, and assistance acquiring Veteran's Benefits.
To learn more about how the Estate Planning & Asset Protection Law Center can help you register online to attend one of our upcoming Trust, Estate, and Asset Protection Workshops or register by calling (800) 964-4295 (24/7). You will discover why traditional estate planning may not work and the life-care planning steps you should be taking instead so you will not outlive your savings, the asset protection language that most people don't have in their power of attorney documents which can help protect their life savings, how to qualify for the hidden Veteran's benefits that most people know nothing about, and How Medicaid works...and the steps you need to take now to protect yourself and your family under the new rules.

Squad Explanation
-- I only considered players from Bobby Robson's club team.
-- Cheung Chi Doy (張子岱) of Hong Kong was one of his first ever signings as a manager. Robson signed him for Vancouver Royals(his story here), but he never got to coach the Canadian team.
-- The team is geared toward Bobby Robson's Ipswich, where his name was most likely to be associated. However, I tried to take players from different teams. I took 7 players from Ipswich Town, I selected Mick Mills, Paul Mariner, Terry Butcher, Rusell Osman, Kevin Beattlie, Arnold Muhren and John Wark.
-- Alan Brazil and Eric Gates were some of my favourite players while growing up, but both only made my honorable mention.
-- In 1971, Robson made Mick Mills as his captain. He was one of Robson's most important players. Ironically, he never played for Robson's England.
-- Vitor Baia and Fernando Couto played for him at both Porto and Barcelona.
-- I am not familiar of his career with Sporting CP. Luis Figo played for Bobby Robson at Sporting CP, but I selected him for his career with Barcelona. He is the only player from Robson's Sporting CP who made the team.
-- Bobby Robson considered Ronaldo as the greatest ever player who played for him.
-- Bobby Robson also discovered Jose Mourinho who was his translator in Portugal as most football fans already knew.
-- Robson was known to have issue with Romarios lifestyle while at PSV. In his autobiography, he claimed that he knew what Romario was doing. He only went dancing at night clubs, which was acceptable.

Husband and wife owners were asleep below in the port hull of a small sailing catamaran. There were no other crew on board and the vessel was at anchor several kilometres from other vessels in the harbour and about 200m from the eastern end of Pulau Soff.
The thieves boarded the boat, entered the hull cabin via a deck hatch, removed a computer and 2 mobile phones and then left. The couple, although asleep in the same hull space, only became aware of the theft in the early morning.
The theft was reported to local water police (PolAir) with no result or recovery of the items.
The same vessel had its outboard motor stolen 3 weeks earlier while at anchor in Sorong Harbour. As is often the case with this type of theft, the dinghy was recovered floating and abandoned – without the motor.
It may be that groups of young people who paddle out to yachts to "say hello" and sometimes request photos with yacht owners, are in fact "casing" the boat for easily stolen items. Best to come up with a good excuse for not inivitng people on board – e.g. " newly painted deck" and so forth.
Once an item has been stolen there is virtually no chance of recovering it via the police system. Police boats are inactive and the harbour is 10km long.
Securing outboards with a security cable is helpful, but not the whole answer.
So far thefts have not been accompanied by direct confrontation or threats of violence.
Good lighting at night is a deterrent.
The best deterrent is to have people on board and for them to be visible.

Q: naming a boolean field I build an employee planning system for a medical environment. Normally the employees are busy with patient care. Sometimes an employee will be busy with non patient care and I like to model that situation in my database. My first thought was to add a field like
boolean noPatientCare default false

But then I remembered how I hate messages with a negation in them, like "Are you sure you don't want to save this file?" and wondered if it would be better to make it like this
boolean patientCare default true

How should I name my new column? Is there any theoretical background on this or is it just a matter of taste?

A: Differentiate between boolean 0/1 (care/no care) and two-state A/B (patient care / nonpatient care).
Inherent negatives are bad. Naming conventions that suggest negative where there is none are worse. So definitely not noPatientCare because this would suggest occupied with patient care or unoccupied. Using nonpatientCare implies a different occupation.
Still, if this is a three-state patientCare/nonpatientCare/unoccupied(or other) then use enum, not bool and name the field for the generic property (careOccupation), not for one of the values. If it's a strictly two-state, there is no serious reason why it can't be "usually true" boolean patientCare default true.
Even then think twice before choosing bool over enum for this pick. Are you completely sure there won't be a new separate category, or that one of the categories won't be split into more narrow subcategories? It may be definitely worth picking a collective name for the field and descriptive value names than going with bool when the distinction between "true" and "false" is not apparent.
Example from my work: workMode==NIGHT_MODE or workMode==DAY_MODE, vs bool dayWorkMode. Coding special exceptions for night time operation with if(!dayWorkMode) would feel awkward as night time is not some lack of condition, just a different condition.

A: It is a matter of taste and readability.
And you could find another word or concept. For instance, perhaps a medical worker not working with a patient could be said to work on administrative or miscellaneous tasks.

A: I find conditional and logical statements easier to read and understand if variables mean positive propositions, and not their negations. Consider:
if (patientCare || somethingOther) println("Employee is busy with patient care or something other)

versus
if (!noPatientCare || somethingOther) ...

A: I'd generally try to avoid negation in boolean variable names.
I've once written a good example of violating this rule with a method like this:
void frobnicate(boolean negate);

The argument was actually called negate and if you wanted to actually "negate" the frobnicate call you'd write frobnicate(true). The "positive" frobnicate call would be frobnicate(false). Reading this code afterwards was a formidable brain-twister. Avoid it, if you can.
I some cases, however, the jargon and/or environment might dictate a specific word and changing that to be in the non-negated form might actually make your code harder to understand.

The above was taken from an exchange between Gandhi and the quoted book's author, which had sought advise from the Mahatma. If the reader doubts that people could effectively work together despite having fundamental differences, I would recommend reading the short book by Gora. No one denies the idealism of these men, and yet what really stands out in their discussions is the importance of having concrete results to back theories.
Immediate relevance and clarity of insight more than makes up for the lack of eloquence in the preceding advise.

Salivary Hormone Testing: What is it?
What do anxiety, fatigue, weight gain, low libido, muscle weakness, hot flashes, hair loss and sleep disturbance all have in common? Besides being a nuisance, they are all symptoms of hormone imbalances.
Both men and women experience changes in hormone levels with age. Sometimes those changes result in unpleasant symptoms that demand attention, while often, the changes are more subtle – yet there is still an impact on overall health.
At Pensacola Wellness we care about your health and finding the root of whatever issues you are experiencing, so we offer various hormone tests based solely on the needs of each patient.
Saliva testing is an easy and noninvasive way of assessing your hormone balancing needs, and is proving to be the most reliable medium for measuring hormone levels. This testing method allows patients to collect saliva at home at specific times, which is important for accurately measuring hormone levels.
Why do we test hormones in saliva? Steroid hormones in the bloodstream are 95-99% bound to carrier proteins, and in this form are unavailable to target tissues. Saliva testing measures the amount of hormones available to target tissues – the bioavailable amount. For this reason, saliva testing better relates to specific symptoms of excess or deficiency, and is a good option for monitoring hormone therapy. Unlike serum tests, saliva testing represents only the hormones actively delivered to receptors in the body. Clinically, it is far more relevant to test these bioavailable hormones and provide an accurate reflection of the body's active hormone levels.
At Pensacola Wellness Solutions, we believe that individualized care is significant to each patient's health. We do not take a "cookie cutter" approach, but instead, we address and evaluate based on each patient's concerns and health issues. If you're experiencing hormone imbalances, call us today to schedule an appointment for a salivary hormone test!

Travel to Paris has always been on my bucket list, as I am sure it has been for many. For those who have had the pleasure of visiting, they tell of the Eiffel Tower, the succulent food, the romanticism of the country. After the terrorist attack this past Friday, 11/13/15, the Eiffel Tower is closed because of security fears. Some say that this attack will have a deleterious effect on tourism in Paris. AS Virgin Islanders, we understand the hardship that can or may ensue.
We can not control terrorists nor the terrorism that they plunder on so many unsuspecting individuals. We can, however, continue to pray and have hope that good conquers evil. In the end good wins!
Let us all pray for Paris!
PS. Travel to Paris is still on my bucket list.

Plastic is a problem and a lot of the time we think of bottles, bags, packaging. But synthetic clothes (think sports gear, polyester shirts, nylon tights) also cause environmental problems. Every time you wash a piece of synthetic clothing plastic microfibres get into the water stream heading into our rivers and oceans.
The Story of Stuff have developed a brilliant short film on microfibres, definitely check it out! In overview the problem is that there are 1.4million,trillion microfibres in our oceans and rivers which are toxic and are eaten by fish causing them to become sick, which ultimately works it's way up the food chain to us.
Tonight Blue Planet II is on again, such a great programme. Sadly those amazing creatures are just bobbing around and unconsciously consuming toxic particles caused by us. So what can we do to prevent putting microfibres into our water?
Until we completely change our consumption behaviours, the Guppyfriend is a good way to reduce plastic pollution from our clothes. It's basically a bag you pop synthetic clothes into before putting it into your washing machine, collecting the microfibres. Simple but effective.
Head to STOP! MICRO WASTE, a non-profit organisation in Berlin, to get your very own.


Eleanor Wilson is to receive an MBE for services to community education, through the University's sector-leading initiatives to raise aspiration and widen access to higher education.
"I am delighted that the work carried out at Glasgow Caledonian University to open the doors of higher education and lifelong learning has been publicly recognised in this way," said Ms Wilson.
"This is a shared honour as I am privileged to lead a dedicated team of colleagues who are making a real difference to the lives of many and to the communities we serve. It is also testament to the pioneering work of our Principal and Vice-Chancellor Professor Pamela Gillies CBE who founded the Caledonian Club and the commitment of the partner schools who work with us.
"Having been the first in my family to go to university, I am passionate about creating opportunities and providing support to inspire people from all backgrounds with the confidence, qualifications and ambition to continue their education at the highest levels."
In her role as Director of Outreach and Community Engagement, Ms Wilson heads the Caledonian Club, engaging with 9000 young people and 2600 parents, and operating in Glasgow, London and, soon, New York. Its work has been supported by more than 500 student mentors, many of whom are former Caledonian Club members themselves.
Beyond the Caledonian Club, GCU continues to show its commitment to widening participation through a breadth of programmes that support the journey through school, college and university. The Schools and Colleges Engagement Transition Team works with partner schools and colleges, increasing the total number of learners who can benefit from GCU's innovative approach.
After receiving £1m from the Scottish Funding Council, and in partnership with Glasgow City Council, GCU opened the Advanced Higher Hub in August 2013. The Hub supports sixth-year students from Glasgow schools in the study of Advanced Highers, complementing those being offered by schools.
GCU also works closely with college students to make the transition to university as seamless as possible through the its College Connect Strategy and the flagship activity, the College Connect Academy. Additionally, the Mentoring and Peer Support programme provides students with access to peer support throughout their time at GCU.
"Together, these projects highlight a groundbreaking partnership approach, which builds on the early success of the Caledonian Club, and which maximises opportunities for pupils, students and families in the many communities where GCU works," said Ms Wilson.
Principal and Vice-Chancellor Professor Pamela Gillies CBE said: "I am delighted that Eleanor has been recognised in the New Year Honours list. It is a fitting tribute to the work she carries out, and is recognition of the commitment of her colleagues to the ongoing success of the University's widening access initiatives. As a University for the common good, GCU is proud of its sector-leading role in this area, and on behalf of the University, I congratulate Eleanor."

800 Kg Bhagavad-gita Set to be Largest Sacred Text in the World
By Madhava Smullen | Dec 01, 2018
A breathtaking new single printing of Srila Prabhupada's Bhagavad-gita As It Is, dubbed "The Astounding Bhagavad-gita," will measure 2.80 x 2.00 meters (9 x 6.5 ft) and weigh an astonishing 800 kgs (1,763 lbs).
The giant book is funded by ISKCON Italy through donations and designed by the Mediterranean branch of the BBT, which claims it will be the largest sacred text in the world.
Trustee and managing director Madhusevita Das clarifies that while there are bigger books on spiritual topics – such as the 5 x 8.06 meter "This is the Prophet Mohammed" in Dubai – this will be the biggest central sacred text of a major religion.
"Some time ago, I was wondering what is the best way to spread the glories of Prabhupada's Bhagavad-gita As It Is throughout the world, in a way that people will be inspired to read it," he says. "And suddenly an inspiration came to mind: let's make it the largest sacred text ever printed."
Madhusevita Das, managing director of the Mediterranean BBT branch behind the effort
Since 2018 is the 50thanniversary of the publication of Bhagavad-gita As It Is, it's the perfect year for such a project.
And Madhusevita is the perfect man for the job. For over a decade, he has been printing large format books with the Mediterreanean BBT, including Darsana, Krishna Art, and a deluxe collector's 16kg edition of Bhagavad-gita.
The 2.8m x 2m, 800 kg Astounding Bhagavad-gita, however, is by far their most ambitious effort. At a cost of a €220,000, it will run to 670 pages, totaling one acre of printed matter. With eighteen exquisite BBT paintings and an innovative elegant layout, it will be printed on YUPO synthetic paper, which is untearable and waterproof.
Madhusevita Das and his team are dwarfed as they work on a giant page of the Astounding Bhagavad-gita
The book will be bound with a process called Japanese binding, utilizing stainless-steel screws. Its cover will be made of carbon fiber, a light yet extremely strong material used to build satellites. And the cover painting of Krishna and Arjuna will be surrounded by intricate laser-engraved black and gold motifsmade with precious metal inserts.
"It will be a real, useable book with turnable pages, and with the proper care and know-how it is built to last thousands of years," says Madhusevita.
The layout and conception of the Astounding Bhagavad-gita was done by devotee BBT staff such as Ali Krishna Dasi, Haladhara Dasa, and Rupa Sanatana Dasa. The printing and production, meanwhile, was handled by experts in Milan, Italy.
The book will be unveiled in Delhi, India during a massive event on December 19th– Gita Jayanti – which will draw widespread press coverage and will invite the Prime Minister and other dignitaries.
The book is printed on untearable, waterproof synthetic paper and has an elegant, innovative layout
Afterwards, it will be installed on a two-ton hydraulic stand on the ISKCON Delhi campus, where it can be viewed by all.
According to designer Rupa Sanatana and Madhusevita, the Astounding Bhagavad-gita will be more than a book – it will be a worshipable object, or Deity, that people can admire, revere, and even perform arati to. Occasionally, a ceremony wherein the pages are turned for all to see may be held.
While some may question the wisdom of spending $200,000 on such a project when the same funds could be used to print 200,000 books, Madhusevita explains the many impressive benefits the book will have:
It will monumentalize, or put a strong spotlight on Srila Prabhupada's Bhagavad-gita As It Is. It will travel the country and be used to attract people to purchase hundreds of thousands of Bhagavad-gitas (Madhusevita plans to produce small Gitas with the same cover).
It will also enhance the BBT's prestige and reputation in India and the rest of the world, and indirectly ISKCON's as well. And it will make Srila Prabhupada famous in India and around the world, creating more awareness of his achievements and stature as a spiritual teacher.
"The Astounding Bhagavad-gita will be a landmark in the history of Vaisnavism in general, and of ISKCON in particular; and an unprecedented offering to Srila Prabhupada and the previous acharyas," Madhusevita says.
About $60,000 is still required to complete this project. To help, and have your name placed on a commemorative gold plaque near the Astounding Bhagavad-gita, please donate here:
