Keeping it Real: The Ladies of 'The Real'
Keeping it Real: The Ladies of 'The Real'
2023 Kia EV6 GT AWD The Electric Crossover that's Changing the Game
By Mary L. Datcher
Special to NNPA from The Windy City Word
THE REAL is a new one-hour, daily talk show hosted by the dynamic team of Tamar Braxton, Tamera Mowry-Housley, Loni Love, Jeannie Mai and Adrienne Bailon, that debuted Monday, September 15, 2014, on Fox Television Stations and in national syndication (check local listings), with a rebroadcast in primetime on BET. Led by five bold, diverse and outspoken hosts, these women reflect the home audience and unapologetically say what women are actually thinking. Their unique perspectives are brought to life through their candid conversations about topics ranging from their own personal lives to the news of the day to beauty, fashion and relationships.
We had a chance to catch up with the ladies during their promo tour and they had a lot to say in their high profile roles as the new daytime contenders. Having debuted last July in seven markets on Fox television station that included; New York, Los Angeles, Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Phoenix, Houston and Tampa, The Real was picked up for a second season with close to 98% stations picking up the show.
What made you feel that this show could work for each of your personalities?
Loni Love:
"When I was approached to try a show like this because I am a standup comic-I'm accustomed to working by myself. But the idea to work on a show with a younger and hipper edge really enticed me.. When this opportunity came, I jumped on it. Fortunately, I made the cut and I'm very happy. It's historic because we've never had a show with all women of color and to present in such a way, whereas we're talking about issues that people aren't talking about or their afraid to really talk about 'the real'. This is a great opportunity for us."
I know each of you have your own special style and grace on fashion (pointing to Jeannie Mai). What is your targeted demographic? Tell me about your strategy.
Jeannie Mai:
"There isn't a specific strategy that's targeted on our style. There's fashion every day on the show. We all have our own wish list of style and what we do with it. So, we try to do our segments and spread it out. We also try to highlight different things for different women to have fun. Once a month, we'll give away a luxury bag to someone in the audience and also to someone watching from home. That's always a dream come true. Fun trends that are happening; there's fashion in most of the show and it showcases all of our styles. "
Do you feel your transition from the reality shows to co-hosting The Real will show viewers a different side of you?
"In Braxton Family Values, you see me being the sister and in Tamar and Vince, you see me being Tamar, the wife and on The Real you see me as Tamar, the girlfriend. The girl you go out to have cocktails with, the girl's girl you can tell your secrets to that's not going to tell your business and who is going to keep it real with you. She is going to keep it real with you at the end of the day. I definitely think The Real allows me to show all faucets of my life and personality because I have a couple." the Grammy nominated singer jokes.
Feeling at ease with each other, the co-hosts laughs and teases Tamar. Fellow co-host, Loni Love adds, "I want to put this in print. This is one of the hardest working persons in the industry. When I met her, she was pregnant and then she dropped the baby three weeks later. She has two reality shows, now she's doing a talk show and then she did two albums and now she's working on something else now. When they say Black women don't work-this one right here (points to Tamar) – she has got to have some Jamaican in her." The room erupts in laughter and sister admiration of Tamar's success.
Speaking of hard working, you've been working since in the business since you were an infant. What does this new platform mean to you?
"What people didn't know about me but what they now know is that I love to talk. That's how my sister and I got the part in Sister, Sister-we didn't have to audition for it. We talked our way into the roles. I'm naturally and encourager-I love to encourage people, I love to help people. When I heard about a talk show, I was like 'Wow! This could be a great platform to just speak to my fans. To speak to things that speak on a lot things that means something. Whether they need help dating, marriage or whatever because it's just in me to encourage and help. Why not? Why not do this?"
What's going to be the difference between you and Rosie Perez on The View for the Hispanic target?
"I think the age difference. What my experience has been growing up. My Mom is Puerto Rican and my Dad is Ecuadorian. My first language is Spanish. My parents at home speak Spanish and my Dad does not speak English. Being first generation in this country; my Dad was born in Ecuador and my Mom born in Puerto Rico. I think for me a lot of young people growing up in this country that are first generation here, that have parents that don't speak English. To have me being on a panel of an English speaking show makes a huge statement.
The Real is entering the arena of not only the day time talk show wars but a great pool of female contenders but this doesn't daunt these ladies from displaying their unique and individual qualities.
Tamar is excited with the anticipation of a new single dropping within a week and making her directorial debut for the music video. Wearing multiple hats in the business is not an easy task, "I feel like I'm here for the dream. At any age-you can do whatever you want to do. You can be whoever you want to be but you have to work hard and you have to not give up on yourself. I'm thirty-seven years old. I know a lot of people and singers are afraid to tell their real age. I am proud to tell my real age. I'm 37 and I worked my behind off all of my life and I finally got to the point where I am proud of myself. Doesn't matter if you're 37, 47, 57, 67…never give up!" She explains.
What makes The Real different from other shows aside from the comedic side of Loni Love, the fashionista beauty with a humble Vietnamese upbringing of Jeannie Mai, the multi-talented, multi-tasking feisty attitude of Tamar Braxton, the former Cheetah Girl's, Adrienne Bailon who carries the confidence and pride of her Latin roots along with the soulful balance of Tamera Mowry-Housley?
Tamera sums it up, "When you become vulnerable and when you are fine with being yourself, that's when you can become relatable. That's when people can learn from you. Not only do you learn from yourself, people are learning from you."

Senators Feinstein and Gregg Introduce Measure to Reduce Tariff on Imported Ethanol in Effort to Help Lower Gas Prices
- Measure would help provide U.S. refineries with increased access to cheaper and more climate-friendly ethanol -
Washington, DC – U.S. Senators Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and Judd Gregg (R-N.H.), today introduced a measure to reduce the tariff on imported ethanol.
If passed, the legislation would allow U.S. refiners to purchase cheaper and more climate-friendly ethanol from foreign sources, which could then help lower gas prices at the pump.
"The price of oil has hit $130 per barrel and prices are going higher every day. This means that the need for inexpensive and cleaner-burning fuels continues to grow. And yet U.S. refiners are forced to pay a 54-cent tariff on ethanol imported from Brazil and other foreign sources. This makes no sense, given the record oil prices and the limited supplies of domestic ethanol," Senator Feinstein said. "This bill would essentially level the playing field – and ensure that U.S. refiners are able to purchase cheaper and more climate-friendly ethanol, no matter where it comes from."
Senator Gregg stated, "As the United States continues to face record high energy and oil prices, it is important that we find affordable, practical, and bipartisan solutions to our nation's energy situation to help relieve the stress on consumers at home and at the gas pump. Currently, states outside of the Midwest, like New Hampshire, are at a disadvantage for using ethanol due to domestic shipping challenges. Affordable, plentiful ethanol from Brazil and other friendly nations provides a better alternative. This legislation introduced today on a bipartisan basis offers a reasonable solution that lowers the tariff on ethanol, keeping prices more competitive for American consumers and steering us in the direction of more affordable energy alternatives."
The measure is also cosponsored by Senators Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), Susan Collins (R-Maine), and Wayne Allard (R-Colo.)
The Ethanol Subsidy and Import Tariff
The ethanol industry currently receives a 51-cent per gallon subsidy to help increase production and consumption of ethanol.
This subsidy is applied to both domestic and foreign ethanol.
In order to prevent foreign ethanol producers from benefiting from the subsidy, an import tariff of 54-cents per gallon was established to essentially offset the subsidy.
Ethanol Subsidies in the Farm Bill
The Farm Bill reduces subsidies to the ethanol industry from 51-cents per gallon to 45-cents per gallon.
Yet, it leaves tariff on the importation of cleaner, greener imported sugar-based ethanol at 54-cents per gallon.
So this tilts the playing field in favor of the heavily subsided domestic corn-based ethanol.
What does the Feinstein-Gregg bill do?
Mandate that that the tariff on imported ethanol could not be set higher than the subsidy.
So in effect, the legislation would lower the tariff on imported sugar-based ethanol from Brazil to 45-cents per gallon – the same as the ethanol subsidy.
This would ensure that foreign ethanol neither benefits from the ethanol subsidy, nor is penalized by a 9-cent barrier to trade.
What would this accomplish?
This would help make it more affordable for U.S. refiners to purchase imported ethanol – and in turn help lower prices at the pump.
Background on the Renewable Fuels Standard
This year, refineries will be required to use 9 billion gallons of ethanol under the Renewable Fuels Standard (RFS).
This requirement will only increase in the years ahead, climbing to 36 billion gallons in 2022. Additionally, by 2022, 58 percent of the renewable fuel will be required to be "advanced biofuels," which are not made from corn and produce at least 50 percent less emissions during the production, transportation, and end-use (or the lifecycle of a fuel) than gasoline.
According to the United States Department of Agriculture, Brazilian production costs for sugar-based ethanol are only 81-cents per gallon, while domestic ethanol production costs are currently above $2 per gallon.
The California Energy Commission recently estimated that the emissions from Brazilian sugar-based ethanol were 68 percent lower than traditional gasoline – which makes it cleaner than domestic corn-based ethanol, which produces about 15 to 28 percent fewer emissions than traditional gasoline.

Dance of Shadows: Chapter 22
This entry was posted in A Dance of Shadows on July 6, 2014 by Epiphany
Nate could hear Alley pounding on his bedroom door, demanding his presence for dinner. For the first time, he disobeyed by rolling over in his bed. Eventually, she stopped knocking.
Finally everyone left him alone to curl up into a ball in peace. Minutes passed, maybe hours. Pain didn't really have a sense of time. The image of that poster board burned behind his eyes. The pictures of the soldiers killed by the Ringmaster swirled like the photoslide on his smartphone. All it took was a single command, a demand they kill themselves.
He could do that. It would be so easy.
Claws stabbed him in the back. Flinching as real pain broke through the emotional miasma inside, Nate rolled over in time to see Perpugilliam hop off the bed and make her way over to his chair. The cat climbed up onto his computer desk and crouched over the second keyboard he left up there for her to use. Then she started typing. Nate groaned and rolled out of bed. It seemed like he'd get no peace today after all.
Found a leaked mini episode of Doctor Who. You'll never guess who's in it.
"Really?" Nate slid into his chair as he watched his cat continue typing with her big paws.
Check your torrent folder, it's titled the Night of the Doctor.
Perpugilliam was true to her word. Nate clicked on the video and loaded it up. For a blissful few minutes, the rest of the world went away. The thrill of Paul McGann, back in full character as the Doctor after all these years. That spunky companion who died so soon. Just how bad was the Time War, that she'd rather die than be saved by a Time Lord?
The ending left him curiously depressed. Of course, he'd been depressed since the confrontation by the High Five Club yesterday followed by the poster board today. But usually his favorite Time Lord could brighten his spirits. Tonight, even the Doctor had succumbed to darker urges, the need to take action to stop so much suffering. Physician, heal thyself indeed.
Sighing, Nate pushed away from the desk and stood back up to face the wall. Downstairs, his friends probably worried about him. Julie must be worried because she could actually read his mind even from here. No privacy. Though it was somehow easy with her. She saw everything and didn't judge him.
Even now, when the temptation was to just make the world march to his tune.
Nate sighed and pulled on his coat. "I'm going out for a walk," he called to Perpugilliam. Not that his cat cared. She was back to Netflixing the new Battlestar Galactica series from, like, five feet away. "You're going to go blind sitting that close you know."
Swiveling her head towards him, Perpugilliam yawned. Then she typed on the keyboard, writing to the second monitor while the first queued up the episode. I told you, ever since I became a cat, I can't see that far. Get some tuna for me for later.
Outside the bedroom, he could hear a myriad of voices downstairs. Full house tonight. He closed the bedroom door and peeked into Alley's room. Still barren with only a single set of pictures on the nightstand.
Knowing she was downstairs, Nate followed the sudden urge to take a look in Alley's room. The frame held a series of three pictures. Her parents were first, a stern man with a crew-cut accompanied by a blonde who was, sad to say, prettier than her daughter. Below, Nate grinned at the big family photo including the parents as well as Alley and her apparently two brothers.
Interesting how daughters could take after mothers. Though the resemblance was plain, Alley didn't look much like her brothers. Nate rubbed his chin and wondered which parent he looked like the most.
The last picture was of Alley and another girl, arms wrapped around each other. Though the pretty redhead was the unfamiliar one, Nate's eyes kept drifting back to Alley in the photo. There was something sublimely beautiful about her smile. Something…peaceful. Contented. Words he'd never imagined using to describe his volatile roommate.
Suddenly self-conscious, Nate scrambled away from the picture and headed back to the door.
Downstairs, he found Finn and Amara on the center couch, Jia and Julie sitting on the couch closest to the door, leaving the last couch unoccupied. Alley was in the kitchen making something as usual. He tried to remember the last time the girl had just sat down for any length of time outside of class and came up empty.
Nate waved his way through the various greetings and pointed towards the door. They seemed to catch his mood and let him be. He had his hand on the door knob when an ice cube flew out of the kitchen to land perfectly on the back of his neck, just in time to slide under his shirt collar. Yelping, he endured the laughter of his roommates as he glared across the distance. Alley leaned against the refrigerator, accepting the applause of her audience like a gracious host.
Then, when they went back to watching the TV, she held up a finger and waved it side to side at him while shaking her head. In that moment, Nate realized she knew. She knew he'd been in her room, had looked at her pictures and she wasn't happy about it. There was a chilling flatness to Alley's expression, an utter lack of the warmth he'd seen in the photo.
Swallowing hard, Nate pushed his way outside. As the screen door swung close, he spread his arms and took in the humid night air. Florida held in the heat of the day even when it was dark. The sounds of wildlife and bugs and all sorts of things rustled beneath the unceasing swish of tree branches swaying in the evening wind. He couldn't see a damn thing.
Nate stepped down off the wraparound porch and set off across the paved stone pathway between the rows of flowers. Gradually, his eyes adjusted to the relative dark of the shadowed sky. After all, the lights from the Lambert Acres house illuminated whole swaths of the meadow in the midst of the woods. There was also a light on in the shop, pretty much 24/7.
Too much light. Nate shoved his hands in the pockets of his jeans as he slouched his way up the driveway. The asphalt scrunched slightly underfoot as he stepped on stray rocks and debris. Inch by inch, the house and its light receded behind him. Sound dropped away. Soon, it was just him walking on the road, surrounded on both sides by an endless sea of trees.
Had he stepped foot on this driveway since move-in day? They always used the HCP lifts. Was there a light ahead normally?
Nate froze in the middle of the road when he realized a car was coming. The vehicle, a jeep of some kind, slowed to a stop when he didn't move. With a creak, the driver rolled the window down and stuck his head out.
"You okay there?"
"Can I help you?" Nate asked back.
"Jia asked me to come by." The engine idled a moment longer before the driver turned it, and his headlights, off. Darkness dropped back on top of Nate, much like the weight he felt pressing him down for days. "Hey, are you okay?"
"Fine. I'm fine."
The driver walked towards him slowly and stopped a few feet shy. Then he stuck his hand out and closed the remaining distance. "I'm Eli."
"Nate." And Nate accepted the hand, shaking as firmly as he could manage. "Right, you're the one who Jia had lunch with the other day."
"That's right. We had a nice time. I'm glad she asked me to visit. I don't know her all that well but she's had it pretty hard lately, hasn't she."
Nate turned around and looked back to the house he could only barely glimpse through the trees. Reality suddenly set in. Jia had it hard. Like, she had it seriously hard. She had a baby. They'd lived together for weeks and he'd barely heard the baby's name. Jia was a mother, one who couldn't be with her child if she was going to be a Hero.
Tears unexpectedly welled up in his eyes. Would Jake feel like he did someday? Would it be fair to? Eli was right, Jia had it hard. He could even say she suffered, for there was always a quiet of spirit that didn't seem entirely born of being introverted. Jia was shadowed by her sorrow. And here he'd been so absorbed carrying his own problems that he hadn't realized the burden someone else carried.
"Can I ask you a question?" Nate said, still absorbed in a house filled with people he hadn't taken the time to know.
"You can ask me anything, Nate."
"You know who the Ringmaster is, right? Sure you do. Why do you think she did it?"
"You mean…make all those people kill themselves? Make her old Hero team turn against a town and level it?" Eli scratched his blonde goatee. "Let me throw a question back: Do you think she got her kicks from killing?"
"Kicks? No. No one likes killing, no one sane. No one who made it to be a Hero would just kill people for no reason."
Eli made a thoughtful sound low in his throat. "So what's that mean?"
Nate squinted back into the darkness before returning his attention to the other man's face. "Are you trying to say she had a reason?"
"Wouldn't you?"
Silence fell between them. Nate let it stand a moment before he couldn't hold back. "But what? What reason? Why would she possibly think killing all those people had to happen?"
"Well, far be it for me to guess at the motives of a Dominator. But let me ask you a question no one's ever answered: Why do you think she captured the Russell Senate Office Building? If she wanted to kill everyone in it, just mind control an Air Force jet and hit the place with missiles. If she wanted to kill Heroes, why kill off all her mind controlled soldiers first? If she just wanted to kill soldiers, why do it in the Senate buildings? Why only kill the 325th Airborne when she could have wiped out the whole 82nd Airborne Division back at Fort Bragg?"
Nate was unable to do anything but stare Eli in the face. The visitor just shrugged, a man with a mystery he couldn't solve and content to set it aside a while longer. Not Nate, though. The conversation worried at the corner of his mind, a gnawing nagging feeling that he'd missed something all along.
"I don't know," he said at last, admitting defeat.
"Me either," Eli said with another shrug. "Maybe we'll never know what her reason was. The only thing I hold on to is that there was a reason for all of it. I mean, she was a Hero once. This is the woman who brought down the Berlin Wall. There has to be some explanation on how that Hero could become the Villain we know today."
The two men stood in companionable silence again. Then Nate grimaced, shook his head and said, "Thanks for the talk, Eli. Now I need you to forget that we had it."
"Okay." Eli blinked at him, then stuck out his hand and smiled. "Hi! I'm Eli Ansley. Jia invited me over."
"Sure, she's back at the house. Go on in."
With a cheerful acknowledgement, Eli climbed back into his jeep and started off down the driveway towards the carport. Nate watched him go as he rubbed the back of his neck.
"Why'd you do it, Mom?" he asked silently. Then Nate stiffened as part of the nagging feeling solidified into a concrete answer. "And how'd Eli know the Ringmaster was a woman?"

Stanford University Suffers 5th Large HIPAA Security Breach
Home » Healthcare Data Privacy » Stanford University Suffers 5th Large HIPAA Security Breach
Posted By HIPAA Journal on Jun 13, 2013
Stanford University has now suffered its 5th large data breach in four years following the theft of a laptop from the Lucile Packard Children's Hospital. The latest breach may not be the largest to date – or even the largest to affect the University – but it could potentially see the University having to pay a large settlement to the OCR for failing to secure its patients' PHI.
The latest security breach involved close to 13,000 patients, with the data that was exposed containing personal identifiers including patient's names and contact information. The data stored on the stolen laptop also included medical diagnoses, medical record numbers, surgical procedures performed and the names of the treating physicians. No Social Security numbers were present in the data set, although the hospital is still required to notify each of the 13,000 patients affected. Victims of data breaches must be alerted to the possibility that their PHI may be used to enable them to take action to mitigate any damage or losses caused.
The laptop was stolen from a private area of the hospital which required badge access and the laptop was reported as being "an older, non-functioning laptop with a seriously damaged screen" according to a statement issued to Healthcare IT News by a hospital spokesperson.
While the laptop many not have been fully functional, a broken screen does not prevent data from being viewed or accessed. A laptop computer can be connected to an external monitor to view the data stored on its hard drive if the screen is broken or the hard drive could be switched into a fully functional machine.
This is the second major breach to occur this year, with Lucile Packard Children's Hospital also having reported the theft of a hospital laptop in January which contained PHI of around 57,000 patients. After the January security breach hospital officials stated that they would be "redoubling efforts to ensure that all computers and devices containing medical information are encrypted," in addition to embarking on a program of HIPAA training and enhanced IT security and compliance education.
Following the laptop theft in January the hospital started encrypting the data stored on its laptop computers; however the data was not encrypted on the stolen laptop as it was deemed to be broken and inoperable. The employee in question who had used the laptop had the data moved to a new device, where it was encrypted.
The latest theft highlights the importance of destroying sensitive data stored on hard drives before they are decommissioned. Even when PC's, laptops Smartphones and tablets are no longer in use they can still contain sensitive data which could potentially be viewed by unauthorized personnel.
It is therefore essential that healthcare organizations and their business associates implement security policies to ensure that all data is permanently destroyed after use. Hard drives should be securely erased or destroyed in order to prevent any stored data from being accessible once the device in question has been sold on, scrapped or returned to a leasing company.

Just when you thought their situation could not get any stranger, IV of Spades and former member Unique Salonga dropped their new material on the same freakin' day.
Two months after their frontman left to pursue "personal endeavors," the three-piece band of Zild Benitez (bass), Blaster Silonga (guitar), and Badjao de Castro (drums) unveiled the music video for their latest single titled "In My Prison." Despite Unique's departure, IVoS seems to have kept its disco-influenced sound and look, with Zild taking over vocals.
Shortly after, Unique also launched his first solo track, "Midnight Sky," which has been on YouTube for quite some time now. The MV of the song, which was self-produced by Unique with their ex-manager Kean Cipriano, is a stark contrast to his old band's new release, in terms of overall mood.
If the instrumentals and aesthetics of "In My Prison" are the very essence of IV of Spades, then "Midnight Sky" is as stripped-down as it gets.
After watching both videos, it kind of made sense why the meteoric quartet had to part ways. Although one doesn't have to be an IVoS stan to notice how almost simultaneous the uploads were—netizens were quick to point out the curious timing.
As for diehards, they simply lost it.

HomeMan UnitedPlayer Season Review: Antonio Valencia
Player Season Review: Antonio Valencia
June 6, 2018 Nebojša Marković Man United, Players, Premier League 0
Next up in our player season reviews is Antonio Valencia. The player that has been loyal to Manchester United for the past nine years had a season that could characterized as good, making the right-back position all about him, even at the age of 32. Valencia is not getting younger, but his commitment and leadership have always been visible and that definitely helped him to remain one of the most consistent players.
What do the numbers say?
The numbers say he made 31 appearances in the Premier League, never coming on from the bench. He also made seven starts in Champions League and FA Cup combined. He managed to score three league goals and add an assist, but his reliability on the right flank has been very important to the team. Valencia is always fully committed to anything Jose Mourinho wants from him and he has been doing that at right-back.
Valencia was making 0.7 key passes per 90, which is somewhat expected and he added just 1.00 dribbles per 90. At right-back, that is not too bad, but it shows that he is not as much forward-thinking full-back he might have been before. What the bigger problem is here is that Valencia managed to complete just 20 percent of all of his crosses in the league and Champions League. The number of crosses he made was less important, but his inability to do it more consistently was evident. With 1.9 successful tackles and 1.5 interceptions per 90, he did decent job of helping out the back four from the wide areas.
However, at times it was obvious that Valencia is not at the highest level Manchester United would need from their starting right-back. Sure, he offers solidity, he is good at passing the ball and progressing it forwards and he can hold onto it as well. Yet none of that is actually high-risk type of job and where there is not much risk, there is no much gain either. The things he does, Valencia does well, but they are not always the best type of things United need.
Was he an important player for the club?
Yes, of course. He is one of the senior players and one of those that played the most minutes. Next to that, he played some decent football and helped United on their way to be one of the best defences in the league. Sure, he had his struggling moments, as well as the whole team, but overall looking, he did just fine. Whether that will be enough for Mourinho next season is another point, but there is no doubt about his importance.
Valencia is one of the players that can pull the team-mates forward and he will probably be an influential figure in the dressing room next season as well. He is a proper professional who never questions authority and Mourinho likes that type of a 'soldier'.
Projection for the 2018-19 season
Antonio Valencia will stay at the club. With the arrival of Diogo Dalot, he could have the role of teaching him tricks of the trade during the season, but there is still no real evidence that he will not be a starter for Manchester United come this August.

LOOK: After being hailed as the 2020 'best island in the world,' Palawan's El Nido turns black
It cannot be denied that the Philippines has a lot to offer when it comes to pristine beaches and the tropical island we call home prides itself from being one of the top tourist destinations around the world. With that being said, Palawan earned the recognition as the "best island" this year by renowned travel magazine Travel + Leisure.
https://www.facebook.com/DepartmentOfTourism/posts/3771708246189353
This is the fourth time Palawan bagged the title and one resort in the island was included in the Top 100 sustainable destinations of 2020 by Green Destinations, a non-profit foundation for sustainable destination development and recognition, leading a global Partnership of representatives, expert organisations and academic institutions from the Netherlands.
https://www.facebook.com/clubparadisepalawan/photos/a.2995575777143550/3776277909073329/
Club Paradise Palawan is the only representative of the Philippines in the list. While this comes as a good news to the Filipinos, a video of what appears to be a dark 'water sewage' running from a drainage system going to the sea in El Nido is now circulating online. This makes the crystal blue waters of El Nido look tainted and discolored.
https://www.facebook.com/inquirerdotnet/posts/10160654287904453
"Footage from a 'worried citizen' captures what appears to be 'brownish black water sewage' running from a drainage system onto certain parts of the popular tourist beach," Inquirer.net reported.
Back in September, a backhoe of an under construction sewage treatment plant was seen in Barangay Corong-Corong in El Nido.
Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Office (PENRO) officer-in-charge Eriberto Sanos initially told GMA News that the driver did not coordinate with the engineers who were supposed to show him the proper pathway for the backhoe.
The manager of the El Nido Emergency Operations Center assured concerned citizens that no corals were damaged.
"Wala pong damage sa coral kasi wala po namang masyadong corals doon," Bong Sabenacio said.

700,000 year old horse DNA sequenced
Researchers have constructed the DNA from a 700,000 year old horse fossil from the far north west of Canada, which has challenged the accepted version of equine evolution.
Indeed, the widely accepted understanding of the horse's evolution is of a gradual increase in size from small forest-dwelling animals to the larger animals of today.
The fossil, found in the Klondike area of Yukon by University of Alberta researcher Duane Froese, raised questions about this version of events. Not only was the fossil considerably older than those commonly found in ice age deposits in the Yukon, Alaska and Siberia, it was also at least as large as many modern horses.
The layer of permafrost in which the fossil was found has been dated by the volcanic ashes it contained as originating about 700,000 years ago. This puts it among the oldest known ice in the northern hemisphere.
An international research team, led by Ludovic Orlando, and colleagues at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, managed to extract fragments of ancient DNA from the fossil. After several years work, they succeeded in constructing a draft genome of the horse. This is by far the earliest genome sequence yet recorded. "Our data represent the oldest full genome sequence determined so far by almost an order of magnitude" they say in the report of their work, which is published in the journal Nature.
It is unlikely that the research would have been successful had the DNA not remained frozen over the past 700,000 years.
Having reconstructed the complete genome of the horse, the team compared it with DNA from a horse dating from the Late Pleistocene (about 43,000 years ago), and from five contemporary domestic horse breeds, a Przewalski's horse and a donkey.
By looking at differences between the DNA of the various horses, they could estimate the rate at which mutations occurred in the genetic code over time.
Analysis of differences between these genomes indicated the last common ancestor of all modern equids ( horses, zebras and donkeys ) would have lived about 4.0- 4.5 million years ago. This is about twice as far back than previously thought.
The results also indicated that Przewalski's horse― an endangered subspecies native to the Mongolian steppes ― diverged from the lineage that gave rise to modern domesticated horses about 50,000 years ago.

Genetics and tendon injury
Superficial digital flexor (SDF) tendon injury is a common cause of wastage in National Hunt Thoroughbred (TB) horses – leading to training and racing days lost and early retirement.
Recent research, funded by the Horserace Betting Levy Board, explored whether genetic susceptibility is a potential risk factor for SDF tendon damage in the TB racehorse.
The work, by Lucinda Tully and colleagues, compared the genotype of horses with and without SDF tendinitis in a case-control study.
Tully looked specifically at single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in seven genes that are involved in tendon structure, function, and remodelling or are known to be involved in Achilles tendinopathy (an equivalent condition in humans).
Genetic material for the study was derived from mane hair, or peripheral blood cells, collected from 270 horses with a history of SDFT strain, and 270 unaffected control samples, chosen at random from among the other horses on yards with affected cases.
The study's findings suggest that sequence variants in TNC and COL5A1 genes are associated with SDF tendinopathy in TB racehorses.
A SNP in COL5A1 significantly increased the odds of having SDF tendinitis. Racehorses having two copies of the COL5A1 COL5A1_01 variant allele were nearly 3 times more likely to have SDF tendinopathy than those homozygous for the wild-type allele.
Conversely , a SNP in the TNC gene was associated with significantly lower odds of SDFT injury. Racehorses heterozygous for the TNC BIEC2-696469 polymorphism were less likely to have SDF tendinopathy than those with two copies of the wild-type allele.
The research team conclude that variants in the TNC and COL5A1 genes are associated with SDF tendinopathy in a population of UK trained NH TB racehorses.
They suggest that further studies in a larger group of horses are needed to determine the significance of these findings at the population level.
In the future it may be possible to use genetic markers to identify horses at risk of SDF tendinopathy.

Fishing for chips
Not only is chipping far more reliable for marking horses than traditional methods of branding, it also causes far less injury to the animals, according to research led by Christine Aurich at the University of Veterinary Medicine, Vienna.
With very few exceptions, it is now mandatory within the European Union to mark horses by means of transponders. Nevertheless, some sport-horse registries oppose the use of microchips because they believe that the rate of identification failure is unacceptably high.
Thus far, no systematic examinations to see whether chips are easy to decode, have been conducted. So Manuela Wulf in the group of Christine Aurich at the Vetmeduni Vienna has examined the readability of microchips in more than 400 horses. She tested each of the chips with three different scanners. The scanners differed in diameter and field strength. Both sides of the animals' necks were tested.
The "best" scanner (equipped with a digital signal processing function that filters interfering signals) detected and read all chips correctly when it was placed on the side of the neck where the chip was implanted, and located nearly 90% of the chips even when it was on the other side of the neck. The other two scanners performed considerably less well, producing correct reads in around 90% of the cases when on the same side of the neck. On the opposite side of the neck, however, the success rate fell to between 20-25%.
It never took more than 25s to detect the microchip , and with the most effective scanner it took a maximum of 5 seconds. So the most effective scanner not only detected all the microchips , it did so in the shortest time.
As Wulf puts it, "It is important that the scanners find and read the chips correctly in every case. We can only recommend the top-of-the-range scanner, which should ideally be placed on the side of the horse's neck where the chip was implanted." However, Aurich adds, "Even the lowest quality scanner we tested, performed much better than traditional branding methods of horse identification."
The major objection to the use of branding relates to the pain and long-term damage it inflicts on the animals. Wulf and her colleagues thus investigated whether the use of microchip markers was any better. She looked closely at the site of chip implantation in 16 horses of nine different breeds and of various ages that had been submitted to the Vetmeduni for post mortem examinations. In the vast majority of cases, the chips seemed to have caused absolutely no ill effects. Two animals that were moderately affected had probably only been chipped recently and the wound had not yet had time to heal.
Aurich sums up the findings, "Not only is chipping a far more reliable method for marking horses than traditional methods of branding, we also found that it causes far less injury to the animals."

Does the human voice calm horses?
In addition to being warned to move slowly around horses, many new riders are also instructed to speak in a soothing tone, in the belief that it can make the animal calm. A recent study presented at the 2013 conference of the International Society for Equitation Science investigated whether such advice actually had a beneficial impact on the horse.
According to Katrina Merkies of the University of Guelph, "Anecdotally, we know that horses respond better to calm and soothing tones, so our hypothesis is that speaking in a calm and pleasant voice will inspire calm behaviour in a horse."
Merkies and other researchers from both the University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada and Agrocampus Rennes, Rennes, France set out to discover whether emotional tone and pitch of voice did have any effect on horses. For the study, eight draft horses were individually assessed in a 10 m round pen. Each horse was released into the pen, and baseline behaviour and heart rate (HR) readings were taken over a five minute period. Behaviours scored included: gait; head height position; ear and body position relative to the human.
After establishing baselines, a familiar human approached the pen, and one of four recorded voices was played for a 10 second duration: PL – pleasant voice low tone; PH – pleasant voice high tone; SL – stern voice low tone; SH – stern voice high tone.
Researchers found that the horses maintained the lowest head position when no human or sound was present, but all elevated their heads in the presence of a human or sound. The playing of a pleasant tone resulted in the horses positioning their bodies toward the human. While there was no treatment effect on ear position, the horses did orientate their ears more toward the sound if the human was present.
Horse HR did not increase solely in the presence of the human, but it did increase coupled with sound, with SL in particular resulting in the greatest effect. Results would indicate that fewer signs of behavioural distress are observed when a human speaks to the horse in a pleasant, low tone rather than a stern tone.
"We've shown that horses do in fact display different physiological and behavioural responses to different tones and voice. So horses are able to discriminate between different tones or qualities of voice."
Research often creates more questions than it answers, and based on the results obtained, additional research may be required: "However, it's not clear if the horse is interpreting or responding to the tone of voice alone, or if it's looked at in combination - both tone of voice and the human's body language. Which is the more salient clue to the horse? That certainly warrants further study."
Improving management of wild horses and burros
How to manage the feral horses and burros of the western United States has been the subject of heated debate for some time.
A recent scientific review found that the current practice of removing free-ranging horses is counter-productive. The review concluded that the current approach promotes a high population growth rate, and that maintaining horses in long-term holding facilities is both economically unsustainable and contrary to public expectations.
Most free-ranging horse populations are growing at 15 percent to 20 percent a year, meaning these populations could double in four years and triple in six years.
"With no intervention by BLM (the U.S. Bureau of Land Management), the horse population will increase to the point of self-limitation, where both degradation of the land and high rates of horse mortality will occur due to inadequate forage and water. In addition, periodic droughts, many of them severe, in the western public lands cause immediate and often unpredicted impacts."
The report noted that there is little, if any, public support for allowing such harm to come to either the horse population or the land itself. However, the current removal strategy used by BLM actually perpetuates the overpopulation problem by maintaining the number of animals at levels below the carrying capacity of the land. Although this protects the rangeland and the horse population in the short term, it results in continually high population growth and exacerbates the long-term problem.
To manage horse populations without periodic removals, the committee concluded that widespread and consistent application of fertility control would be required.
Here's a video in which Committee chair Dr. Guy Palmer of Washington State University shares key findings about using science to improve the BLM wild horse and burro program.

News Release 19-Jan-2012
Researchers outline food security-climate change road map in Science
Modest advances for agriculture in Durban signal need for scientific input
Burness
This release is available in Spanish, Portuguese and Chinese on EurekAlert! Chinese.
WASHINGTON -- While last month's climate negotiations in Durban made incremental progress toward helping farmers adapt to climate change and reduce agriculture's climate footprint, a group of international agriculture experts, writing in the January 20 issue of Science magazine, urges scientists to lay the groundwork for more decisive action on global food security in environmental negotiations in 2012.
"Agriculture worldwide is being impacted by climate change and in less than 15 years global population will rise by one billion people," said Sir John Beddington, lead author of the article 'What Next for Agriculture After Durban?' "Policy makers and scientists need to work together, quickly, to chart a course toward a sustainable global food system."
"Many agricultural practices show promise for lowering risks to food production and greenhouse gas emissions while protecting forests and other natural resources at the same time," said Prof Tekalign Mamo of Ethiopia's Ministry of Agriculture, who spoke at several official events at the Durban gathering. "But existing policies do not sufficiently encourage these sustainable approaches or prepare the global agriculture sector for climate change."
Beddington and his co-authors noted that the run-up to the December 2011 meeting of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) featured a strong political push to launch a new work program on agricultural climate change adaptation and mitigation under the UNFCCC's Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA). For example, a group of African Agriculture Ministers presented a call for action on climate-smart agriculture in September, as did scientists from 38 countries through their Wageningen Statement in October.
In Durban, many public figures called for action on agriculture including former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, South African President Jacob Zuma, former President of Ireland Mary Robinson, and Prime Minister of Ethiopia Meles Zenawi. Over 500 people joined in the third Agriculture and Rural Development Day (ARDD) meeting where Beddington presented key actions for avoiding a future in which weather extremes produce a succession of food crises.
However, integration of agriculture in the climate change negotiating process has moved at a slow pace while climate change and the other forces affecting food security, chiefly rapid population growth, are occurring much faster. "Back in 2009 in Copenhagen, we already had draft negotiating text for agriculture," explained Dr Mohammed Asaduzzaman, Research Director at the Bangladesh Institute of Development Studies, who serves on his country's delegation to the UNFCCC. "It's time for us to take up a SBSTA work program so negotiating parties can weigh the risks and benefits of different policy and financing choices."
Agreements in Durban did open the door to agriculture. Future negotiations will consider "sectoral actions" on climate change, which could include those related to the agriculture sector. Also, a March 5 deadline has been set for submission of evidence to SBSTA which will "exchange views on agriculture." As a major driver of deforestation, agriculture is likely to be discussed as details of REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) are negotiated. Beddington and his colleagues called these a "welcome first step," however they view it as far short of what is needed. They call on scientists to assume a more prominent role in supporting global and national political processes to ensure talks in 2012 are informed by clear data on how climate change imperils food security and what can be done to avoid catastrophe.
In outlining opportunities for scientists to assist UNFCCC negotiations, the authors point to seven policy recommendations issued in November 2011 by the Commission on Sustainable Agriculture and Climate Change. Many of the authors serve on the Commission which Beddington chairs. "Scientists have a responsibility to show decision makers what we mean by 'climate-smart agriculture' and 'sustainable intensification,' and how these strategies are crucial to the success of any global climate change adaptation and mitigation effort," said Dr Adrián Fernández Bremauntz, Advisor on Sustainability at the Metropolitan University in Mexico, and a member of the Commission.
"There are clearly major opportunities this year for scientists to provide the evidence required to rapidly generate new investments and policies that will ensure agriculture can adapt to the impact of climate change—and in ways that mitigate production of greenhouse gas emissions," said Prof Bob Scholes of South Africa's Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, who delivered a keynote address at Forest Day in Durban where links between forestry and agriculture were highlighted. "Scientists can build on the Durban agreements for REDD+ to clearly describe adaptation and mitigation strategies that span agriculture and forestry and improve food security and livelihoods."
"The window of opportunity to avert a humanitarian, environmental and climate crisis is rapidly closing and we need better information and tools for managing tradeoffs in how we grow our food and use our resources," said Prof Molly Jahn of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. "Urgent action is needed, within and outside of the UNFCCC, to address the threat of climate change to agriculture and food security." Jahn will share this analysis at a symposium on climate change and food security at the National Conference on Science, Policy and the Environment in Washington today. Earlier this week, she also headlined at the launch of two new global research initiatives for improved production of maize and wheat led by the CGIAR Consortium of International Agricultural Research Centers.
Jahn and other authors of the Science article see a need for more "integrated research" focused on sustainable agricultural practices that are appropriate for "different regions, farming systems, and landscapes," particularly in low income countries where climate change is expected to pose the greatest challenge. The goal, the authors said, is to achieve a "safe operating space" where farmers can produce enough food to meet global needs while adapting to various climatic stresses and also minimizing the environmental impact of food production.
The Science article points to several other opportunities for the research community to provide insights that could direct more attention and resources to the critical link between climate change and food production. For example, scientists can help with identifying robust opportunities for investing in agricultural adaptation and mitigation with financing now available through the Adaptation Fund of the Kyoto Protocol, the UN's Clean Development Mechanism and the Green Climate Fund, which has earmarked US$100 billion for developing countries. They can also assist with inclusion of agriculture in national action plans for climate change adaptation and mitigation that are being developed under the auspices of the UNFCCC.
Overall, the authors believe scientists must help improve the overall "understanding of agricultural practices that will deliver multiple benefits" in areas of climate change adaptation and mitigation, global food security, and REDD.

Getting a porta potty might not be something you think of on a everyday basis, but if you find yourself in need of them you're going to benfit from a heads up on what's included in the process.You've probably used a portable toilet at least a few times during the course of your life, but when it comes to getting a portable restoorm for your parties or family reunions, you'll have to make sure you know a few important details beforehand.
Before choosing a porta potty layout you'll need to think of the approximate amount ofpeople you'll be expecting, the amount of the gathering and the number of refreshments that will be served. The amount of people, the length of time they'll be attending and how many refreshments you'll be having are all good factors in selecting the right portable toilet solution.
Choosing a reliable portable toilet company is first step to having a smooth event. You should go with a portable toilet rental service that has experience, a wide selection, a consistent service history, and has the experience to work with you to get the best portable sanitation selection to suit your needs. No one desires their special occasion to be ruined by something as simple as a portable toilet problem, so that's why you'll want to ask about how rapidly a service team can fix any issues you may have during your event. You'll have a large range of porta potty selections to choose from, so you shouldn't have any issues locating the size or numbers that you'll need to host your gathering.
Your basic porta potty will be constructed of of plastic, have a single stall and will come with toilet paper along with some type of hand sanitizer . You may be having a smaller get together, then you have the option of setting up an outside hand washing basin, rather than rent the pricier units that include an internal one. As you might know already, porta potties don't use any plumbing, but rather they use chemicals to contain waste and are emptied afterwards . These substances are the blue liquid found at the bottom of a stall, and if you are renting for a long time, then you might want to ask about disposal and replacement services.
You'll want to think about porta potty placement at your occasion or wordplace, as it's a critical factor that could affect the success of your gathering or really slow down jobsite performance. You should make sure that your portable toilets are placed on dry, level ground and should be centrally located so that guests have easy access to them, but not too close that they are in the way. The best thing about renting portable toilets is that you'll have the option to change the toilets to match your individual needs. Although you would think portable toilets would be the least of your concerns at an event, low quantity or quality can quickly impact your guests in a negative way.
There are a variety of situations where you can benefit by getting a porta potty rental on site for any event that has a lot of people. Situations where you may want to think about renting quality portable restrooms are weddings, business events or charity fundraisers. In these scenarios, your attendees are dressed in formal attire, and they need clean, comfortable restroom facilities to use. The purpose of these stalls would be to try and mimic the bathroom experience one would enjoy while at a smaller indoors function.
When you rent a portable toilet, you'll want to know all the options it comes with. Your average portable toilet will come with the basic necessities such as tissue paper, hand sanitizer, a holding compartment and paper seat covers. A deluxe flushing toilet has more sanitary options besides having the selections of a basic restroom. A few of the selections you could choose include more upscale portable toilets with hand soap dispensers, washing stations and mirrors. These options are perfect for large outdoor weddings or formal events because guests will want to check how they look, and having an indoor light is an additional amenity.
Considering the type of porta potty you choose and the length of time you'll be renting them for, your fees can be anywhere from fifty dollars on the low end to one hundred dollars if you are in a more expensive area. To avoid any hidden charges, you need to find out the exact count instead of renting more portable toilets than you'll require. Get the portable restroom rental agency that is nearby the event's location as it can save you some more bucks. Prices of portable toilets tend to increase during wedding season, in the Spring or Summer months, so that's something to consider when deciding on a rental. You can get lower rates if you book your portable toilets ahead of time during the off season. As long as you have a basic education of portable toilet options and what goes into their pricing, you'll be able to make the best choice in order to manage a great occasion regardless of how many guests you're anticipating.
