Cebu eyed for women empowerment initiative
CEBU, Philippines – The Philippine Commission on Women (PCW) is eyeing replicating in Cebu and other places in the Philippines a project that brought together in Manila young women leaders and experts in different fields to strengthen women's participation in addressing issues that affect them.
Organized in time for Women's Month last month, the Young Women Leader's Initiative is a crucial sub-project of the AECID-funded program on the Implementation of the Magna Carta of Women. It is aimed at sustaining the country's gains in addressing women's issues and in creating a network of empowered young women.
"We believe it would be a great program to follow not only in Cebu but in other local government units. It is one of the best ways for intergenerational exchange and for bridging the gap between women who currently hold powerful positions and for young women who have the potential to continue the legacies that these women have built," said Jenny Lind Elmaco, project manager at PCW.
During the two-day conference, the participants crafted the "Young Women Manifesto," something that Elmaco said will give them a direct voice and soft influence on issues that matters to young women. What is significant about the manifesto, Elmaco said, is that it was created by young women who have a grasp of local issues, especially gender and development issues in their communities.
While we have had gains in putting women in decision-making positions, governance still needs more women. Also, the current momentum of women empowerment in the country must be sustained and this can be done through empowering the next generation, Elmaco said.
During the conference, the participants were given a chance to listen to women who have made a difference in their respective professions and they were given a chance to craft a collective proposal to address gender and development (GAD) issues. They were also asked to identify the biggest GAD issues in their community and propose concrete approaches on how to address them.
"When they go back, these women will become active members of the technical working group on the implementation of the Magna Carta of Women and also be active in activating their proposed projects," Elmaco said.
Elmaco explained that participants in the pilot conference came from provinces in Luzon and the National Capital Region because these are the sites with AECID funded projects at present. This, however, does not limit the commission from bringing the project to other sites like Cebu.
With the theme "Leading Change on a Straight Path to Endangered Governance," the pilot conference in Manila had women leaders from the government, arts and media, social development and business sectors who served as mentors.
The mentors included Hon. Chiyo Kanda, deputy country director of the World Bank; Nora Pinzon, acting office chief of the Program Resources Management Office of the US Agency for International Development; Hon. Julia Andrea Abad, chief of the Presidential Management Staff; Undersecretary Lesley Jeanne Cordero of Presidential Communications Operations Office; Victoria Pineda Garchitorena, former Ayala Foundation President; Aurora Geotina-Garcia, president of CIBA Capital and Women's Business Council; Claire Delfin, multi-awarded broadcast journalist of GMA Network; Commissioner Raida Bansil-Maglangit of the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos; Niña Rica Terol Zialcita, president and deputy editor of ProPinoy.net; Luzviminda Villanueva, project manager of the Gender-Responsive Economic Actions for the Transformation of Women (GREAT) Women Project; Bai Rohaniza Usman, country director of Asia-American Initiative; Maxine Tanya Hamada, executive director of INCITEGov; and Thelma Gecolea of the Delegation of the European Union in the Philippines.

Pasadena Sub Rosa: EVIL REPUBLICANS STOLE DEMOCRACY!!!
Big, evil industries funded… which party?
Now that election 2010 is over, let's go back over to OpenSecrets and look at which evil corporations stole our democracy and bought Congress for the Republicans — the RepubliCorp!
First suspect: the military-industrial complex!
Oh, really? Well, then, it must have been Wall Street! That's it: Wall Street bought Congress for the GOP!
Huh. Well, then, it must have been the big health insurers and for-profit hospital corporations! They didn't want reform! I know because I heard President Obama say so at least 64 times!
Huh. Well…then it must have been those evil lobbyists that President Obama has been fighting against ever since he got to Washington! That's it!
What? You mean all that time I've spent watching Keith Olbermann hasn't taught me any real facts???? You mean my head is now full of garbage and White House propaganda?
For good measure, here are a few industries that did, in fact, support Republicans (although most of them by narrow margins).
The challenges I see ahead for the new GOP House will be (1) reining in Agribusiness subsidies and (2) forcing banks to live without hope of future bailouts. The first is probably the bigger challenge, at least in the short run.

Family gatherings, office potlucks, holiday buffets, neighborhood cookie exchanges, church suppers, mail-order food deliveries, gifts of home-preserved foods–from Thanksgiving through New Year's Day (and sometimes beyond), Americans go on what seems like a nonstop food binge.
I've always loved the special holiday foods and traditions of late fall and winter that have passed down through my family and the local cultures that shaped me. If I can avoid the over-stuffing—always a struggle. Oh, and also the food poisoning.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that each year roughly 1 in 6 Americans (or 48 million people) gets sick with a foodborne illness; 128,000 require hospitalization, and 3,000 die of these illnesses.
Although summer (picnics, summer camps) is prime time for foodborne illnesses, these diseases spike sharply during the winter holiday season, and noroviruses ("stomach flu"), a family of viruses responsible for half the nation's foodborne illnesses, are much more common during the winter months.
Honor your holiday food traditions, but don't rely on the food-preparation, presentation, and storage practices you grew up with. Food-safety science has come a long way since Grandma's day. Get current science-based information by checking out the many food-safety fact sheets from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service.
Keep it clean Wash food preparation surfaces and hands often.
Separate Keep raw meat, poultry, fish, and their juices away from other food. After cutting raw meats, wash cutting board, knife, and counter tops with hot, soapy water.
Cook Cook to proper temperatures, checking with a food thermometer.
Keep hot foods hot (140 or above) and cold foods cold (40 or below) Discard any food left out at room temperature for more than 2 hours (1 hour if the temperature was above 90 °F).
Safe food handbook All the basics; a comprehensive overview.
Safe handling of take-out foods Information on keeping hot foods, cooled foods, and leftovers safe.
Mailing (and receiving) gifts of food A lot of useful information whether you're on the sending or the receiving end.

Home food preservation The go-site for the most current science-based information on all forms of home food preservation.

Food safety question? Ask Karen When you can't find the answer anywhere else, turn to Karen.

Barenaked Ladies get serious but lose their appeal with 'All in Good Time'
Matthew Reddin|April 8, 2010
They are best known for their catchy hits in the '90s, but the Barenaked Ladies' latest effort doesn't carry the same tune.
Everyone needs to grow up eventually — even rock stars. But when you're the members of a band named Barenaked Ladies, switching to a more serious and mature sound might not be the best career move.
Hugely popular in the late '90s and early '00s, Barenaked Ladies made a name for itself as a witty, irreverent and snarky alternative rock band with songs like "If I Had $1000000," "One Week" and "Pinch Me." The last two are notable for the combination of fast-paced rap with a traditional chorus and verse structure that set Barenaked Ladies apart from their contemporaries.
Unfortunately, there's almost none of this trademark sound in their latest release, "All in Good Time," and, as such, there's not much room left for Barenaked Ladies to stand out from the crowd.
To be fair, Barenaked Ladies isn't the same band it used to be. The lineup's been drastically altered due to the departure of founding member Steven Page, who shared vocals and songwriting duties with current lead singer/songwriter Ed Robertson.
The shift in the band's tone is obvious with its opening track, lead single "You Run Away," inspired by their split with Page. Opening with a slow, melodic keyboard progression, "You Run Away" is a restrained, reflective response to Page's decision.
It's a good song — maybe even as good as some of Barenaked Ladies' previous singles — but it's the polar opposite of what you'd expect from a band whose previous hits have referenced "Chickity China the Chinese chicken" and include lines that force singers to say "underwear."
It's only a hint of what's to come. "You Run Away" is followed by "Summertime," a groovy ode to summer, and "Another Heartbreak," a ballad about as deep as it sounds. They're okay songs, in and of themselves, but when the name "Barenaked Ladies" is attached, it feels like we're getting cheated.
The album's fourth track, "Four Seconds," is a breath of fresh air, a folksy song that reintroduces the rap-infused style you'd expect from Barenaked Ladies. The folk elements sound odd, but it's old-school Barenaked Ladies at its core: clever, slick and full of twisting wordplay.
Unfortunately, there's nothing else like this on the album. After "Four Seconds," the majority of the CD consists of pensive, thought-heavy songs that bring us closer to the matured, serious sound "You Run Away" and the rest of the album seems designed to produce.
The album's not all thought, but much of the rest is just further response to Page's departure, with songs like "I Have Learned" and "Golden Boy" offering an edgier reply than we get from "You Run Away." The songs are a welcome change from the rest of the album, but aren't especially good in their own right.
That said, there are some standouts from the second half. In "Every Subway Car," for example, Robertson sings of a graffiti artist tagging his love's name across the city, and "How Long" gives us a glimpse into a heated argument between a couple. Both are well-constructed, and seem like a more natural evolution of Barenaked Ladies' sound than the remainder of the album.
If this was a debut album, it'd be fantastic. And in a way, it is — it's the debut of the new, retooled Barenaked Ladies.
However, if you're looking for the Barenaked Ladies you remember from "One Week" and "Pinch Me," I wouldn't hold your breath. I'm not sure if it's caused by Page's departure or just in response to Page's departure, but Barenaked Ladies is actively working to mature its musical style, and "All in Good Time" seems to be the group's first steps forward as a new creative entity.
But if I had "$1000000" to bet on whether they'll be as good as the now-classic Barenaked Ladies, I think I'd invest it on that tree fort in my yard instead.

Janet Jagan.....Freedom Fighter
I want to pay homage to a great fighter for freedom and human dignity, someone who made many sacrifices, for the sake of a cause and a down-trodden people. Janet Rosenberg, who was born to Jewish parents in Chicago in 1920, gave up family and her job as a nurse and a good life, in that city, to join her husband, Dr. Cheddi Jagan in the fight for the independence of British Guiana from British rule. This was in 1943, and for the next 66 years, she dedicated herself unselfishly to the cause. She did not hesitate or look back, even when she was arrested, harassed and imprisoned on many occasions. She fought the good fight, especially after the Constitution of the colony was suspended in 1953, martial law was imposed, the People's Progressive Party( which she had co-founded with her husband and others) was declared illegal, the elections results ( the Party had won an overwhelming victory) was set aside and she and many others were arrested and imprisoned.
I was attending Central High School in 1954, when I first met her. I remember that she was gracious, always smiling and never too busy to say hello. I was living at 199 Charlotte Street, Georgetown, and Dr. Jagan( he was a dentist), had his practice at the same address ansd so I was very fortunate to spend much time there, where I was able to read the many foreign newspapers that he had in his office as well as the many books that he allowed me to borrow. I can say that my love for Politics and interest in Political Science( which I have have taught for nearly 40 years) was greatly influenced and enhanced by their presence and the reading materials.
Janet Jagan was inspirational and humble. I remember her meeting the women in the estates and villages and sitting down on the ground with them, talking to them trying to understand what they were saying (most of these women were uneducated, spoke the Guyanese dialect and the only"white" person they had seen were the " white overseers" who ordered them around and with whom there was no contact ( except with those women who were sexually exploited by these "overseers"). These ordinary women adopted her as their " boughie"( sister-in law), and she reciprocated in kind. What a remarkable woman.
After being released from prison, Mrs. Jagan continued her work, She travelled with her husband wherever he went, even to India, where they were welcomed by Prime Minister Nehru. Together they continued the fight. In 1957, when new elections was called, there was a split in the P.P.P.( an African party led by former co-leader L.F.S. Burnham was created with the help of the British and Americans, who were afraid of another victory by the P.P.P., which would mean even more demands for independence.....this was the heated period of the Cold War......Soviet actions in Hungary and Poland and Egypt's Pres.Nasser's nationalising of the Suez Canal, C.I.A. actions in Iran and Guatemala and Castro's fight in Cuba). ( By 1964 two other parties were formed. One was led by Peter D'Aiguar, a white businessman, was meant to appeal to the middle class/ business Indian vote, as well as to the European/Portugeese voters. The other led by an Indian lawyer, Balram Singh Rai was supposed to siphon Indian votes from the Jagan-led P.P.P. The result was that the country became polarised along racial lines, and even though the P.P.P. won in 1957, it was by a slim majority. Janet and Dr. Jagan did not play the race card and throughout their lifetime, they did not play the race card but Burnham and others had sown the seed of hatred and tried to exploit it.
The next years was filled with racial tension, which culminated with attacks on the Indian population.....burning, looting, killing and raping. The British, under the orders of their American masters now turned to another tactic to defeat the P.P.P.The Jagans were branded as communists and the electoral system was changed from " first past the post....single- member constituency by plurality to Proportional Representation. This will further drive a wedge between the two major ethnic groups.....the Indians and the Africans. In the meantime, Pres. Kennedy, fresh from his humilation at the Bay of Pigs refused to meet with Dr. Jagan when he visited Washington. In the elections of 1964, P.R. worked. The vote splintered. No political party won a majority. This led to a Coalition government between Burnham and D'Aiguar. They were summoned to London to discuss independence. It was granted. The P.P.P. was isolated in the opposition and yet the Jagans did not play the race card (I remember this well. I was a member of the executive of the youth wing of the P.P.P....the P.Y.O. and Dr. Jagan made it clear to us "hotheads"that he wanted no racial response. He even threatened to report us to the police if we acted violently and racially. I resigned my position and went home.. In 1968, I met Dr Jagan at Sir George Williams University in Montreal ( he was travelling abroad to get support against the arbitrary actions of the Burnham government as well as the rigged elections), and he asked me smilingly whether I thought violence was the answer and I agreed that it was not.).
Guyana was to go through a terrible period of economic and political decline. Thousands left the country for Canada, England and United States. Those who could or would not leave, bore the brunt of this decline. The Jagans continue to fight for the rights of all Guyanese( the country had adopted the name Guyana after independence), even though they were constantly in danger. They persisted. They would not be cowed. They sacrificed a lot......wealth, health, freedom and family. Their two children saw little of them as they were growing up. They could have made a tremendous amount of money if they had worked in their other professions ( I remember his very lucrative dental practice. I used to hel;p collect the payments). They spent a lot of time in prison or under house arrest. His health was direly affected and he died much too soon
In 1992, the P.P.P.was finally able to win an election. This was made possible by the fact that the Cold War was over and so free and fair elections could be held, which could be monitored by independent observers, including former president Jimmy Carter. Janet and Dr. Jagan was vindicated. Race politics is destructive and unproductive and they did not play that game. He was a Guyanese first and foremost, not an Indian Guyanese. Janet Jagan could have abondoned ship. She did not. She stayed and fought and while it took almost twenty-five years, she did not deviate. That is strenght of character. That is integrity. That is love for a people, strange and strangers at first but family ever after. She gave her all to Guyana and now she is gone but she will always be remembered for her sacrifice, her kindness, her humility and her humanity.
Mahatma Gandhi had said that we should be the change we want. Janet Rosenberg Jagan was...........Goodbye and our eternal gratitude.

Agreed with your historical analysis and glad to share an incident reflecting her humility. In Tain Settlement in the early 60's some kind of social service work was being carried out,teaching women cookery!! My mom had a class at our home ang Janet Jagan "dropped:in. I was about 10-11 but it was not until later that I realised whom she was. She actually tasted apiece of cake? Saw her lat May at the feuneral of Neville Bissember (former friend and foe) and she was absolutely pleasant

Dear Mr. Prashad,
Some of your postings have transported me back in time to those heady days when you were one of our teachers (others being Rudra Nath - god rest his soul, Walter Ramdehol, Leslie Etwaroo - god rest his soul, Moses Nagamootoo - next president of Guyana?, Somdat Madray, Chunilall Ramkissoon, Julip Singh, James Permaul etc. It seems as though I am still learning from you.
More folks need to be exposed to your writings. A case in point - how many do you suppose can relate to the article on China. If I were to venture a guess, not too many. In fact, how many recall the name Chou en Lai? This takes added significance when one takes into consideration the exorbitant sums the United States owes the Chinese. I would'nt be too surprised if the US is being referred to in some circles as the newest Chinese province. That would be tantamount to a swift kick in the rear.
Your article on Barack Obama's election to the US presidency, Dawn of a New Era,(carried in my magazine, Cricketstar), detailing a bit of US history, was most informative. Again I ask the question, how many immigrants do you suppose know this. You'd be surprised how many do not have a clue. And that's unfortunate!
As you know some former students and teachers are planning a COMPRI re-union on July 11, 2009 in Queens, New York. The ensuing mad dash to secure relevant information on the humble beginnings of this most revered institution, the most prominent student being Alvin Kallicharran, crashed into a brick wall. Riding to the rescue was the man affectionately referred to as I.P. Thus giving this exercise a much needed boost. Now it seems like the committee members are all experts on Compri's humble beginnings.
Janet Jagan's untimely passing afforded you the opportunity to exhibit a different style. Your poignant tribute to her was most welcome. Especially when some gutless and spineless wonders resort to gutter and trash language in talking about her. My singular interaction with President Janet Jagan came when she graciously consented to attend one of our socio-cultural events in Queens, New York. She came, she spoke, she conquered. At times one would have thought she was a stand up commediene. In fact, a few nights back my daughter, Kathy, and I were reminiscing on past endeavours and activities. I showed her a pix of Mrs. Jagan and myself.
It is my hope the re-union committee will see fit to bestow an appropriate honour on you.
Well, sir, stay well and best regards, and thank you so very much.

How can I reorder Gmail filters?
I have more than 20 filters, how can I easily reorder them?
Go to Settings > Filters.
This will result in an xml file. You could edit the xml file to move the order of the filters, and then reverse the process and import them.
Any time you save a filter, it goes to the bottom of the list. Once you know what order you want your filters in, open each one in order, and just click Save without changing anything. When you get to the last one, the filters are all in order.
Of course, you would have to repeat this if you ever really did have to change a filter.
As of this writing, if you are using the new GMail UI then the export/import approach to re-ordering rules no longer seems to work. I tried all of the options listed in all of the comments on this thread and my rules appear in random order.
I also tried every trick I could think of in the XML file and could not seem to enforce any order. The top line <id> tag seems to imply an order but also only seems to apply the order downloaded.
For anyone needing ordering of rules processing in your gmail box, please use the GMail feedback feature and copy a link to this Stack Exchange conversation into your feeback response. It might be slightly abusing SO but if you also upvote this answer it might indicate to the GMail team how much interest there is in ordering rules.
In my case I include a +whatever suffix on any person or entity that I give my email address to and a corresponding rule to apply the whatever label. At the end I have a rule that says archive this message if it has no labels. Until today when I export/imported rules to add a new label, this has performed swimmingly to keep known, valuable email in my inbox and everything else relegated to the whenever I care to review it archived folder.
Gmail folks, I think this is a swing and a miss on rules processing. Please restore control to me and predictability to how I sort my mail. I understand Gmail is free. I hope you understand how valuable this feature is. I believe this is a case where real intelligence is still more accurate than the artificial kind.
Editing the XML sounds like it is more complicated than it is in reality.
April of 2019 I found a fix. Make a "new" filter exactly as it was before, with one exception. In the "To:" field put an address that is different from before. Doesn't matter what it is, just has to be different, everything else has to be the same as the "old" filter.
The filter should save at the bottom of the list as it is a "new" unique filter with the same specifications as the "old" filter. Once the "new" filter is saved, go back and edit the filter with the proper address and save it. It should stay at the bottom of the list, at least it did for me.
Hope this helps others as I was having issues sorting all the marketing stuff from my wanted email. This should work for other filters as well, although it is much more labor intensive.
Both the answers from Pål Børsting and from AndyDan did worked for me. But the original question was for those who have more than 20 filters, and i have 98. Obsviously, i prefer the solution to edit a XML file, as it is much more simple and scalable once we are familiar with this. Sorry, i can not vote neither comment your answers without the necessary points.
But the answer from Rebecca Chernoff did not worked for me. I think it should not be accepted as an answer to the question how can I easily reorder them, or it should be completed to work correctly. To reorder the filter rules, it was necessary to 'delete all filters' before to 'import XML', as it was correctly answered by Pål Børsting.
Do this: Skip Inbox, Apply label "noc"
Do this: Apply label "zLabelToStopActions"
rule 1: Skip Inbox, Apply label "noc"
rule 2: Apply label "zLabelToStopActions"
But the latest actions was expected to be done only for the messages that have not the word DGV in their subject.
As a final remark, if Pål Børsting agree, i suggest to invert the order 2 and 3 of his answer and, this way, to delete all filters only we are really ready to import them.
How to remove label for some emails?
Is there a way to create a catch-all "if not in another filter then label as…" filter to Gmail?
Is there a way to know what Gmail filters apply to a given email?
