Spain's 14-day IA rate is 276.43 cases per 100,000 inhabitants, a drop of more just over 23% in the last week, but the country remains in the 'Extreme Risk' category.
The Positivity Rate, the measure of how many coronavirus tests return positive, has dropped to 10.37%. A value of 5% or less indicates that transmission of the virus is more or less under control.
According to the latest report from the CCAES, there are 7,368 hospitalized due to COVID-19 across Spain, a drop of more than 22% on two weeks ago, of which 1,701 have been admitted to ICU wards, a drop of 11.45% on two weeks ago. The percentage of beds in general wards occupied by patients suffering from COVID-19 is 6.29% whilst the percentage of beds in ICU wards occupied by COVID-19 patients is 18.04%, both lower than two weeks ago.
Cataluña still leads the way in hospitalizations, with 1,538 people currently in hospital due to COVID-19, of which 36.78% have been admitted to ICU wards for extreme cases. The autonomous region of Madrid is just behind, with 1,563 people in hospital, of which 31.98% are in ICU wards, whilst Andalucia has 1,098 people in hospital, 11.40% of which are being cared for in ICU wards.
In the Comunidad Valenciana, 476 people are currently hospitalized, according to the latest CCAES report, with 13.40% of ICU ward capacity occupied by those suffering from the extreme effects of COVID-19.
The country has suffered 352 deaths in the past seven days, a rise of just over 12% when compared to two weeks ago. This appears to be the normal progress of the infection spread: positive cases rise, then hospitalizations increase, and finally the number of deaths increase. This can clearly been seen in the three charts given in this summary for Spain.
The national death toll rises to 83,861 since the pandemic began.
Across Spain, the rise of infections continues to slow with all but one of the 19 autonomous regions have reported IA rates lower than they were two weeks ago. The North African enclave of Ceuta (559,00) is, again, the odd one out with a 32% rise in infections in a fortnight but this has been attributed to the fact that 67 of the 223 new cases diagnosed in the last seven days corresponding to outbreaks in migrant reception centres in the city.
Behind Ceuta, just two regions remains above 400: Extremadura (490.98), and the autonomous city of Melilla (413.43).
At the other end of the scale remains Asturias (116.51) with the Canarias on 183.92.
The Comunidad Valenciana's rate, currently 221.10, has almost halved in the past two weeks and it remains the autonomous region with the second lowest rate in mainland Spain behind Asturias. All health departments in the region has seen positives cases drop for the first time since mid-March. On average, infection spread has decreased by 36% in two weeks.

The newspaper El Pais has reported that the so-called 'fifth wave' of the pandemic in Spain set a new daily high this week with 190 COVID-19-related deaths on Tuesday, although this is well below what was seen during the 'first wave' when more than 800 daily death were reported. A rising death toll is the last indicator that starts to rise during each wave and it is also the last to start to fall.

Spain has administered 64,714,501 doses of vaccine, which is 90.2% of those which it has already received (71,756,402).

According to the latest data provided by the health authorities, 94.0% of people aged 40 and over in Spain have received at least one dose, with 91.7% having completed the recommended course.
The Comunidad Valenciana has administered 6,872,586 doses of vaccine, which is 90.2% of the total which it has received (7,620,680). A total of 3,358,717 people have completed the recommended course, which 74.8% of the population which is to be vaccinated (4,488,459) or 66.4% of the total population of the Comunidad Valenciana.
According to the latest data provided by the health authorities, 94.7% of people aged 40 and over in the Comunidad Valenciana have received at least one dose, with 92.3% having completed the recommended course.
The newspaper El Pais has reported that Spain's Health Minister, Carolina Darias, has suggested that a third dose of COVID-19 vaccine could be administered to 'at-risk' groups once the European Medicines Agency has granted permission to do so, which it taking a lot longer than expected.
The newspaper has also reported that there are more than 7.8 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine in storage in Spain, due partly to the decreasing rhythm of the vaccination campaign across the country during the peak holiday season as well as the mass arrival of new vials, mostly from Pfizer.

Abode of the Virgin Goddess
Kamala Thiagarajan | Jun 25, 2004
When I was a young girl I used to love listening to the tales my grand-mother would weave. Patti's hands were never idle as she recounted the countless episodes of Hindu mythology that fired her with the true spirit and meaning of Indian womanhood. Clad in a resplendent sungadi sari, the color of kumkum and roses, she would thread thickly scented jasmine flowers into beautiful bouquets which would later be laced through my long hair, while her soft voice soothed me with its melody. Of all the stories Patti told me, my favorite by far was the legend of the beautiful virgin Goddess, Kumari Amman, who stood by the swirling waves of the oceans in the seashore town of Kanyakumari.
Many thousands of years ago, she said, a cruel and vicious demon, Banaasuran wreaked havoc in this part of the world. He terrorized the innocent and plagued the poor and helpless. The people pleaded to God for a power to release them from their torture. Their prayers were answered and the primeval energy, Parashakti, was sent into the world. Goddess Parashakti assumed the form of a young girl and drew her energy and strength from meditation upon Lord Shiva, whom she wished to marry. Sage Narada fixed the midnight hour as the only auspicious time for the celestial wedding. However, when Shiva's marriage procession approached Kanyakumari, a rooster crowed, heralding dawn! The Lord, assuming that the auspicious hour had passed, returned without marrying the Goddess. Upon hearing of this mishap, the demon Banaasuran was overjoyed. He decided to go to Kanyakumari and force the Goddess to marry him! In the battle that ensued, he was slain at the hands of the fiery Goddess. Thus, the Goddess fulfilled her destiny, but forever remained in her virgin form at the shore temple of Kanyakumari.
Patti's soothing voice washed over me once again as I stood entranced before the Kumari Amman temple in Kanyakumari. I had accompanied my husband and mother-in-law there shortly after our marriage and it was a trip that was full of joy and togetherness for us all. As I stood with my family and gawked at the black stone image of the deity in the inner recesses of the temple, my eyes were transfixed by the dazzling diamond nose-ring that the Goddess sported. My mother-in-law, an industrialist who is as knowledgeable about the Hindu scriptures as she is about the world of textiles and trade, shared with me a very memorable piece of history and temple lore. In the days before lighthouses, she said that the diamond nose-ring of the Kumari Amman Goddess was so powerfully bright that ships and vessels at sea were often misguided by the stray glimmer of light on dark, stormy nights. Because many a ship was torn asunder by the craggy rocks of the coast, the Eastern gate of the temple overlooking the waters of the Bay of Bengal was sealed shut. Even today, it is opened only five times a year!
A strong belief prevails that if a single woman prays at the Kanyakumari temple for an ideal life mate, she will soon be married to the man of her dreams!
I marveled at how much the fiery spirit of the contemporary Indian woman was epitomized in the guise of the Kumari Amman Goddess. Duty before self, even to the extent of martyrdom is an ideal that is drilled into our women. Self-effacing servitude is a part of our legacy. Even in today's urbanized, independent, and educated society, there is nothing an Indian woman wouldn't do for a husband and family who deeply cared about her—even if it meant making the little sacrifices that would eventually rock her world. The Goddess may be made of dark black stone, but She seemed to symbolize the psyche of millions of flesh-and-blood young women whose hearts beat with a strong sense of familial duty, throughout the length and breadth of India.
It also made me think of how much things have gone astray since then. The newspapers still report countless cases of female infanticide, rape, dowry harassment and bride burning—yet, this is a part of the country which has long worshipped the spirit of womankind! Perhaps that was the glory of another era—one that has long since been forgotten in the mists of time? Ever since the cradle-baby scheme was introduced by the Tamil Nadu government in 1993 to curb female infanticide, there are reports of numerous abandoned baby girls every week. The cradles are placed in strategic locations around the city and the unwanted female babies are dumped unceremoniously (and legally) into them. Why is the Indian girl today considered a millstone around her parents' neck? When did we stop cherishing the power of womanhood represented by these temples of yesteryear that were built by our ancestors?
The Kumari Amman temple in the heart of Kanyakumari stood a silent sentinel to these questions that raged through my heart and mind.
The waves pounding mercilessly on the sharp rocks of the reef on the Kanyakumari coast seemed to mirror my emotions. The sweeping glare from a powerful lighthouse at one end of the beach constantly cut through the restless waters. You cannot frolic in the waves here or sunbathe on the sands. The surf is just too powerful and even the best of swimmers would find it a dangerous and daunting task indeed!
However, the landscape is invested with a raw, wild beauty. Pebbles in various hues are peppered over the shores. Imagine a vast expanse of land strewn with the most exquisite of gems, glowing softly in the faint light of dawn—this is a memory that countless tourists take away with them. Legend has it that when her wedding was cancelled, the Goddess turned the heaps of food for the wedding party into the multicolored stones that now riddle the sandy shores. We saw an old man selling packages of bright pebbles in one of the small stalls that dot the beach. This intermingling of legend with contemporary trade struck me as uniquely Indian.
About 650 feet from the shores of the Kanyakumari beach is the famous rock memorial dedicated to the Indian monk who took America by storm at the Parliament of Religions in Chicago in 1893, Swami Vivekananda. A 20-minute ride on the little ferry that chugs its way over the waters brought us to Sri Padaparai or the Holy Rock.
A single footprint on the rock bears significant history. It is said that one December evening in 1892, Vivekananda, who journeyed to Kanyakumari on a pilgrimage, swam out to the rock for meditation and prayer. It is here that he was blessed with divine perception to decipher the sacred texts. The small footprint that you see fused into the stone is said to belong to the Goddess Herself as She blessed him with divine knowledge.
Sprawled around it, on that quaint rock isle, is a beautiful shrine built in 1970 in commemoration of the great deeds of Vivekananda, the saint who spread the tenets of Hindu philosophy to the West. The architecture here reminded me of a medieval castle, flushed with pink and gray stone. It seemed to me as though a whole new world, carved from the heart of a boulder, had sprouted like magic from the swirling depths of the sea.
Whenever I recall our journey to the seashore town, the huge imposing statue of the great Tamil poet, Thiruvalluvar perched in the middle of the sea is an image that I know will always flash through my mind. Thiruvalluvar wrote his masterpiece, the Thirukural, nearly 2,000 years ago. The Thirukural is a collection of 1,330 couplets shedding great moral wisdom and practical insight on all aspects of life. The creator's image has now been forever immortalized in stone and the monument can be easily spotted from any section of the Kanyakumari beach. Like the Statue of Liberty in the harbor of New York, his arm is outstretched, heralding the hope and promise of a brighter tomorrow.
Kamala Thiagarajan writes from Madurai, India.

La motion Francoeur, qui fut introduite en décembre 1917 à l'Assemblée nationale par le député libéral Joseph-Napoléon Francoeur, stipule que le Québec pourrait se préparer à quitter la confédération si le reste du Canada le désirait : « que la province de Québec serait disposée à accepter la rupture du pacte confédératif de 1867 si, dans les autres provinces, on croit qu'elle est un obstacle au progrès et au développement du Canada.»

Cette motion est débattue dans un contexte de forte tensions entre les Canadiens anglais et Canadiens français s'il fallait oui ou non déclencher la conscription pour envoyer plus de soldats à la Première Guerre mondiale (voir Crise de la conscription). La motion est finalement retirée par son instigateur au terme de trois sessions de débats en janvier 1918.

Photographer: Editing Lupita Nyong'o's hair was 'Incredibly Monumental Mistake'
by Sydney Smith November 15, 2017 10:57 AM EST
Tags: Apologies & Retractions, England, Grazia (UK), Lupita Nyong'o, Photojournalism Ethics
Lupita Nyong'o (Credit: Twitter)
Photographer An Le apologized for her "incredibly monumental mistake" in altering Grazia UK's cover photo of Lupita Nyong'o in order to change the actress's hair. Nyong'o complained about the photo, which cut her ponytail out of the image and smoothed her hair, arguing it was an attempt to make her fit with "Eurocentric" beauty norms.
In a statement from Le, sent to iMediaEthics by her crisis management firm, she claimed the photo changes were due to "my own ignorance and insensitivity to the constant slighting of women of color throughout the different media platforms." Le also apologized to Nyong'o for what she called "an unbelievably damaging and hurtful act." Le added that she herself is an immigrant and that she believes it's her "duty to be an advocate for the representation of diversity of beauty in this industry. iMediaEthics uploaded the full statement, below.
Over the weekend, Grazia UK denied having edited the photograph or asking to have Nyong'o's hair edited. iMediaEthics then asked the photographer Le what happened.
In response to iMediaEthics' inquiry about who requested or decided to alter Nyong'o's hair, Le's spokesperson Ty Farley told iMediaEthics that "it is the standard protocol for all magazines to approve an image before it is placed on their cover." Therefore, while Le is taking responsibility for editing the photo, her rep is noting that Grazia UK approved the edit.
iMediaEthics has written to Grazia UK to ask if it asked Le to make a statement about the photo, but Grazia UK's spokesperson declined to comment.
Last month, the London Evening Standard doctored a cover photo of singer Solange Knowles to remove her braid.

Sweetie Man
Short fiction for Stevie Turner's November contest.
"Where did you get that?"
Six-year-old Jake does not say "What?". His expression says it for him. His mum has used that tone of voice, the one that makes him think he's done something wrong. Only, he hasn't.
"You're sucking a sweet. Where did you get it?"
"A man." Jake's older sister has come to his rescue. She's eight.
"Man? What man?" Mum still seems to be on the warpath, but why?
She's still talking. Still asking questions. "What have I told you about taking sweets from strangers? Even talking to them. I expected better from you Evie. You're supposed to take care of your brother."
Both children look at the ground and shuffle their feet.
"It's only sweets. He's just moved into the house on the corner. You said we should be nice to the neighbours."
Their Mum's tone softens. "I meant Billy's Mum and Dad, and Mrs Murphy, the people we know, the ones who've been here as long as us. We don't know this new man, and until we do I'd rather you didn't talk to him. And don't take sweets from anyone. Ever. Do you understand?"
Both children mumble their assent, still puzzled about the strange ways of grown-ups. The man had only wanted to get to know his new neighbours. They'd been taught it was rude not to speak when spoken to. Now it seemed there was a new rule. If the grown-ups didn't know the person it was okay to be rude and pretend they didn't exist.
That was Thursday afternoon. Saturday morning they go with their dad to the park. He pushes them on the swings, bounces them on the sea-saw, him on one end and the two of them on the other.
"You're too heavy!" Jake says. Evie laughs.
On the roundabout Dad scoots, one foot on the platform the other on the ground, making it spin faster and faster until he jumps on too and the trees and the people stop spinning by quite so quickly.
As it slows Jake leans in close to Evie and points. "There he is." Jake swivels round, trying to keep his finger pointing at the man. Evie wants to tell him it's rude to point but the rules about rudeness don't seem to apply to their new neighbour. She tries to follow the direction of Jake's finger but sees only Billy and his dad and Mrs Murphy's mum with the baby in its buggy. Then she sees him. It is their new neighbour, standing, watching the children playing.
Their dad puts a foot on the ground and lets it skid along, bringing the roundabout to a standstill. Then he's off, striding towards the man.
"Hey, you. What's your game? Did you give my kids sweets?"
The man holds up a hand as if to ward off a blow. "Whoa. I was just trying to get to know them. We are neighbours, after all."
"Well, they don't want to know you. You stay away from them."
Jake and Evie exchange looks. The man had smiled at them when he'd offered them sweets. His ruddy cheeks and white beard made Evie think of Father Christmas. Okay, so he didn't have a red coat and it was summer. Even so, he was just being friendly, wasn't he? Why were Mum and Dad so … so angry?
A few days later Jake and Evie are on their way home from school. They are annoying their Mum by doing what she calls "dawdling", which is actually inspecting every flower growing heroically from cracks between the footpath and the wall, chasing every butterfly whose interest in the flowers is as keen as theirs and much more important.
"Come on you two, we haven't got all day!"
Of course we haven't, Jake thinks. The day is half over, this is the best bit and you're spoiling it. He stoops to pluck a dandelion clock and begins counting as he blows the seeds on their parachutes, watching them as the wind takes them over the gardens and away towards the fields beyond the town. "One o'clock, two o'clock, three …"
"Stop it Jake," Evie says with a giggle. "It'll make you wet the bed."
"Don't be silly, Evie, you know that's only an old wives' tale. But I do wish both of you would stop dawdling and catch up." Their Mum is standing with hands on her hips. Jake wonders if she realises they are right beside the Sweetie Man's house.
And the Sweetie Man is there, right behind their mum, tapping her on the shoulder. She jumps, turns. "Wha …"
The Sweetie Man is holding out a bunch of … what do you call that long spiky blue flower? Danveler? Landerver? Anyway, that's what he's holding, offering it to their Mum. "Peace offering," he says with a smile.
The children look at each other, mouths open, not daring to speak.
Their mum finishes her sentence. "What? Oh!"
"Peace offering," the man says again. "You know I didn't mean any harm to the children. I'm truly sorry. Please take these. There's a whole hedge of them in the garden."
While he's talking their mum takes a step back, shaking her head. Then she shrugs her shoulders, reaches out and takes the bunch of blue flowers. "Thank you. They smell gorgeous."
The man turns and walks back into his front garden, letting the gate slam shut, not turning around.
"Well," Mum says. "What about that!"
When Dad comes home, after he's given them all hugs, he says "What's that smell?" Then he sees the vase of flowers on the hall table. He bends towards them and inhales deeply. "Hmmm. Lavender. Lovely. Where did you get it?"
"Don't be angry," Mum starts, then hesitates. She lowers her voice. "It was him. Our new neighbour."
Before she can say more, Dad erupts. "The cheeky bast.. so and so." He grabs the lavender from the vase and strides to the kitchen where he jams it angrily into the pedal bin.
"What were you thinking?"
"I don't know. He took me by surprise. He seemed genuinely contrite."
"Contrite! I'll give him contrite. That's typical of his sort, trying to ingratiate himself." He turns to his children. "No one in this house is to accept gifts from that man. Do you understand?" The children nod but their brows are knit in puzzlement.
Another week passes. Jake and Evie are not allowed to play in the street. They are confined to the back garden. On Saturday they are pleased to be allowed out. It's the day of Billy's birthday party and they have been invited. There's jelly and ice cream and a big bouncy castle. They play blind man's bluff and hide and seek. When it's Jake's turn to hide a long time passes whilst the children search in vain for him. Their Mum arrives to collect them before he's found.
"Come on Jake, you can come out now. It's time to go home." There is no reply.
"You've won," Billy says. "Stop messing and come out."
There is still no response.
"This is ridiculous. Where have you looked?" Their Mum is starting to sound irritated.
"Everywhere," comes the chorus from several young voices.
"There must be somewhere you haven't thought of," Billy's Mum says.
They all shake their heads.
"Upstairs?"
"I looked in the bedrooms," says a girl with blond ringlets.
"And I looked in the bathroom," chimes in a boy with dark skin and curly black hair.
"The summer house?" A big skinny girl with plaits nods.
"And Dad's shed," Billy offers.
"What about behind the shed and summer house? Could he have squeezed into the gap between either of them and the wall?"
No one answers.
"Run and look," Billy's mum shouts. Before she has finished speaking all the children run for the patio door, pushing and shoving to be the first outside. The adults follow and watch as the older children peer into the gap between the shed and the wall and the space behind the summer house. Evie stays close to her Mum, clinging to her skirt and sucking her thumb, something she hasn't done since … since … well, if you asked her she probably wouldn't remember. She doesn't even realise she's doing it.
Billy's Mum puts her hand to her mouth and runs towards the back of the summer house. She disappears from view. After what seems a long time but probably isn't she reappears, shaking her head.
"I just remembered the corner where Billy's Dad keeps a load of scrap timber. I had visions of Jake lying under it all. The times I've told him to clear it out! Well that's it. All that old rubbish is going to the tip. Ah! Listen to me going on. No, he wasn't there."
"The bouncy castle? The trampoline?"
The children look at each other, shaking their heads. It's obvious that Jake is not in the house nor in the garden.
"Mum! Look. The bolt on the back gate is open."
Billy's Mum runs to where her son is pointing to the gate that leads into the passage that runs down the back of the houses, ending in the side street that leads to the park.
Evie's Mum rummages in her bag for her mobile phone. Evie hears the near sob in her voice as she asks Dad to hurry home. She wonders why Jake would open the gate and go out into the passage. Perhaps he thought he would find a better place to hide out there.
Their own garden does not have a back gate. The Sweetie Man's does. She remembers that, before the Sweetie Man came to live there, it belonged to old Mr and Mrs Connor. When Mr Connor died and everyone went to the wake the children were allowed to play in the garden. Mrs Connor went to live with her daughter and the Sweetie Man came to live there soon after.
Thinking about the wake and the games they'd played in the Connors' garden, she remembers that Jake had opened the gate that time. It didn't have a bolt, only a little catch that was easy to release simply by pressing down on it so that the gate swung open on its hinges.
There's a commotion in the passage. Billy's Mum is laughing and there's a man's voice. Seconds later Billy's Mum is back at the gate with Jake in tow.
"It's alright," she says. "Sean Galagher found him trying to open his back gate."
Seeing their Mum's puzzled look Billy's Mum explains. "Sean's the man who bought the Connor's place. He's here, look."
And there stands the Sweetie Man. He's wearing a black jacket and trousers with the Maltese Cross symbol on the pocket.
"Sean used to be a paramedic. Worked alongside Billy's Dad. He's retired now but volunteers for the St. John Ambulance."
Jake and Evie are both clinging to their Mum's skirt now.
"I'm sorry we got off on the wrong foot," the Sweetie Man says, holding out a hand to their Mum.
Their Mum ignores the outstretched hand. "I'm sorry, too." Almost in unison they both say "You can't be too careful these days."
There are streaks of mascara on their Mum's cheeks where she's been crying. The Sweetie Man – Mr Gallagher – has let his hand drop. "I should have known better than to give the children sweets before we'd been introduced."
"You should. I'm not sure their Dad will be too pleased even now. But thank you for returning Jake. We were all beginning to panic." She looks sternly at Jake, ruffling his hair, saying: "You silly boy. You gave as all such a fright. At least you're safe now. It's time we got off. Your Dad will be waiting for his tea."

Thanks for taking part again Frank and sharing your lovely story.
My pleasure. Thanks for the opportunity, Stevie

Sweet👍
Hey, great suspense here, and an unexpected ending. Very good story.
Thanks for the complement, Sha'Tara
Good story. I didn't understand the father's rudeness. Is the Maltese cross significant?
Hi Katharine. I guess the father is being over protective of hos children, jumping to conclusions about the 'Sweetie Man's motives. The Maltese cross is the symbol used by a volunteer ambulance service, called St. John Ambulance, in UK that provides a first-aid service at amateur sporting events. In Ireland a sister organisation is actually called 'The Order of Malta'.
Thanks for the explanation. Not to over-think a fictional story, but that father's reaction sounds like a story in itself.
Reblogged this on anita dawes and jaye marie and commented:
I love the way you write, Frank. You manage to make it all so simple and yet complex, something I wish I could do…

What a story, Frank. You certainly have a handle on using dialogue effectively. Thanks for reading mine!
Thank you, Marian

I enjoyed your story, Frank. It's sad that parents have to be overly suspicious these days.

A better way to learn more about our country's culture and history is to travel to Northern Luzon on a shoestring budget and experience the local life, history and its natural wonders. Take delight in riding the kalesa in Vigan and marvel at its old world charm. More history awaits in Laoag with museums and old structures. There's fun and excitement at Paoay's sand dunes. On top of all that, serene white beaches in Pagudpud is such a relaxing retreat.
After spending a night in Vigan, we waited around six in the morning for the Partas bus to go to Laoag. It took us almost 2 hours to arrive in Laoag's bus terminal.
We had an early lunch near the Sinking Bell Tower. From here, we asked around and commissioned a tricycle driver for ~P500 for our Laoag-Paoay tour. Later in the afternoon, we enjoyed surfing the sand dunes of Paoay.
The next day, we headed to Pagudpud to enjoy the white beaches and its many beautiful spots via tricycle tour. After that, we went to see Bangui windmills and Kapurpurwan rock formation, then off to La Union for the surf swells.
We will always admire the simple pleasures in these laid-back towns.
Our first stop is one of the baroque churches in the Philippines declared as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
We tried the Pinakbet Pizza at Herencia's and it's really tasty! Filled with Ilocano favorite vegetable mix ingredients: eggplant, string bean, okra, tomato and green pepper. This gourmet pizza served with mozzarella cheese makes up a unique gastronomic experience. Plus who would have thought you can add bagoong (fermented minute shrimp) as toppings — no need for hot sauce to complete the day!
I remember it being featured in one of the local travel shows. The restaurant with a vintage ambiance can be easily spotted near in front of Paoay Church.
A former two-storey residence mansion of the Marcos family is one of the best examples of old Filipino-Spanish house design. It is overlooking the serene Paoay Lake. Inside, you can find Ferdinand Marcos' office with shelves of books including the books he published, old-fashioned beds, paintings, old elegant furniture and other interesting collection pieces from the 70's.
Nope, we didn't stay here — their rates are not within our budget range. This resort is just a few minutes ride from Malacañang of the North. At first I thought it was a museum because it looks vintage. But this sure is an excellent beachfront stay. We just surveyed the area.
If you want to treat yourself an adrenaline pumping experience then sand boarding at Paoay Sand Dunes is worth a try. It costs Php2,500++ for a 4×4 truck tour. The roller-coaster ride at the jeepney back while standing is such a thrill. The guides will teach you how to surf the sands. I was pretty stoked. Not to mention, the view is breathtaking here–I love watching the waves crashing onto the beach.
Sand surfing is such an exhilarating experience. @Paoay Sand Dunes, Ilocos Norte.
The museum house beside it was closed during our visit but we did wait together with other tourists to enter the mausoleum and viewed the well-preserved body of the late president surrounded by flower and shell ornaments. There is no entrance fee and you are not allowed to take pictures inside.
Beside the mausoleum is a local restaurant, Johnny Moon Cafe, known to serve some really appetizing Ilocano dishes. We did not dine there as we can't handle eating another meal in the middle of the afternoon.
Going to Pagudpud. After the mausoleum visit, we asked our tricycle driver-guide to take us to the bus station to catch a mini-bus bound to Pagudpud. It was about 2 hours of travel.
We texted Ma'am Cathy that we have arrived and she then had a tricycle driver picked us up at the bus stop and took us to Cathy's Homestay.
We ate the left-over pinakbet pizza we bought at Herencia's for dinner—it still tastes good even if it's already cold but guess we are just hungry.
The rent was for Php1,000++ per night and you can ask her to cook you breakfast for Php100++. You can contact her at +639 919-5716680. She was very responsive to our inquiries.
The next early morning, we surveyed the area and found a scenic view of Bangui windmills.
Bangui windmills view from Saud beach.
Also found many other hostels in the area and a really charming beach.
There are plenty of choices to stay near Saud Beach but we're fine staying in a homestay.
We took a quick dip in the clear turquoise waters of Saud Beach early morning and after lunch. The sand really feels good on your feet and the great thing was the beach was all to ourselves. I heard that during monsoon season, you can surf the waves here in Saud and in Blue Lagoon nearby. This makes it a perfect beach!
Saud Beach. Secluded Beach of Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte.
By 7am, we started our Pagudpud tour for Php1,300++ which I think was a bit expensive considering that we still need to pay some entrance fees to the sites which we weren't clearly told earlier. We toured Pagudpud by tricycle with Kuya Raph (+63 929 146 2505) as recommended by Cathy.
There is nothing really interesting about this site except that it is a sign that you have crossed the boundary to Pagudpud.
For around 40 minutes, we trekked through the rice farms and small rivers to get to this waterfalls. Not as interesting as the Kawasan Falls of Cebu or Tinago Falls of Iligan, but it is great to have a quick dip in its cool waters. This is a good way to give yourself a time to sweat out.
Patapat has a beautiful view of the winding road by the coast and mountainside.
Not really a cave but has a cave-like hole with a stunning sea view and cool breeze. They said it used to be a small cave that created an 'underground sea' but a strong earthquake destroyed parts of it. I think I have my best photos here. (Thanks Dorothy!) Php25++ entrance fee.
They have a long strip of white sand beach where many hostels are located nearby.
These are not really spectacular sites and not really worth the extra fee for the tour. But if you have extra time, why not tour around and just enjoy.
Agua Grande – a flowing water on rocks to the sea. Php25++ entrance fee.
Dos Hermanos – a couple rock formation. Php10++ entrance fee.
Timmangtang Rock – just a big boulder known as "Lovers Rock" with grass and small bushes growing on it.
Paraiso ni Anton – a small grotto.
The Bangui Wind Farm is definitely worth a visit. I love the sea breeze blowing through my hair and the view of the giant wind turbines. You can also get a chance to ride a pony for a small fee.
It was a lovely visit to this historical 120-year-old lighthouse where we enjoyed taking photos. We met a young couple who had their prenup shots here. From the tower, you can get a gorgeous view of South China Sea.
Parola ng Cape Bojeador or Burgos Lighthouse.
We rented another tricycle for Php300++ and paid another entrance fee. This is not inclusive of our tricycle tour package. It took us an hour to reach here. We had a great time enjoying the spectacular rock formation and the soothing ocean view.
Glad to witness a double rainbow.
After having fun in Kapurpurwan, we waited for almost two hours for the bus in the highway that it was already dark before we got on a Manila-bound bus. Buses usually come by 30 minutes to an hour gap, but they said that after 5pm you're going to wait much longer. Thanks to our tricycle driver who stayed to accompany us while waiting.
We arrived a few minutes after midnight at Monaliza Surf Resort in San Juan, La Union which wasn't really our plan. Luckily, the daughter of the owner, Mona, was kind enough to entertain us that late. We are really sorry to have disturbed her good night's sleep.
Our Northern Luzon trip was long and tiring, but it was definitely an awesome trip with many picturesque sites for an instagrammable photo collection. Beautiful Northern Luzon!
16:30 'Pasay to Laoag' Bus Ride. Stop at Vigan.
16:45 Museum Crisologo. Other Museums are closed that time and it was raining hard so we ended our tour here.
17:15 Back at the Transient Homestay. Rest.
13:00 Paoay Church. Herencia Restaurant.
8:10 ETA Jump off Point Kabigan Falls.
10:00 Paraiso ni Anton. Grotto.
10:40 Bantay Abot. Door View.
17:45 Back to the Registration Point, Wait for Bus.
19:30 Finally Rode a Bus going to Manila so we can stop at San Juan.

The Communist International (Comintern) had one of its earliest outposts in the small northern Norwegian border town of Vardø. In dealing with the raison d'etre of this so-called liaison point Vardø Etat the paper adopts anon-state actors' intelligence perspective, by uncovering the secret communist activities and identities of the main actors involved in the transnational clandestine network and comparing its features with the characteristics of insurgent intelligence actors. The paper argues that the political aim of exporting the October Revolution to the rest of the world, together with a heritage of pre-revolutionary Bolshevik organizational practice and experience, contributed to forming the Vardø Etat's use of internal security, counterintelligence, HUMINT and covert actions. Though, despite similarities to other insurgent groups the Vardø Etat was a hybrid, a state proxy, deeply entwined with the Soviet state and its intelligence agencies. Reckless militancy was downplayed as the Comintern took form in the period of 1919–1921 quickly evolving toward a more centralized apparatus staffed by professional cosmopolitan communists. In a longer perspective the Vardø Etat can be perceived as part of the first wave of many later waves of Marxist-Leninist insurgent groups around the world throughout the twentieth century and after.

One can't read Isaac Babel without recognizing his suburb craftsmanship. He writes no accidental sentences. In terms of the prose, these stories are all perfect, apart or as pieces of a whole. Each sentence is well-crafted. Each story is a masterful description of what the Soviet campaign against the Poles in 1920 felt like at the level of the individual combatant or civilian. The campaign was masculine, brutal, and fast-moving; and it devastated the countryside.
Babel gets war right: as a reporter, he avoids any trace of glorification or self-congratulation. He's learned the lessons of modernism: his Cossacks—officers and ordinary cavalrymen alike—aren't particularly heroic. They are brave and resilient but they are equally inhuman and thuggish. And Babel makes the humane decision to tell his readers as much about the civilians caught up in the campaigns, as he does about the motivations of his protagonists. After completing the cycle of stories, the reader knows as much about the sufferings of the populace as he or she does about the generals.
Most importantly, Babel describes the sufferings of Jewish townspeople, who were victims of Cossack anti-Semitism in addition to ordinary wartime requisitions. Babel, a Jew whose ethnic background wasn't always known to his fellow communists, seems guilt-stricken by the actions of his Russian compatriots and fascinated by the life and culture of the persecuted. Most strikingly, Babel sees the war from the perspective of civilian women, many of whom were raped in these stories. This is not a war of leaders but of ordinary people. Remembering the way Gorky described Tolstoy's genius for seeing the world through the eyes of the meek (even the eyes of its farm animals), Babel even has time for the sufferings of the cavalry's horses.


When asked how Geetaji wanted to spend her 60th birthday she replied that she would like to celebrate it, as she had all of her other birthdays, with her yoga practise. This response in many ways summarises her character in as much as it reflects both the depth of her humility and her devotion to yoga. However, it became apparent that students were going to visit Pune anyway, and there was even talk of Geeta offering to teach two classes a day at the institute. When numbers exceeded capacity, the PYC Hindu Gymkhana was suggested as a venue (Mr. Iyengar had taught there in 1936). With this news the floodgates opened, and 539 people arrived to celebrate Geeta's birthday in December 2004.
On the first morning of the five day event, Geeta arrived to rapturous applause which she received with her characteristically quiet, self deprecating manner. Unperturbed, she welcomed everyone and began the teaching. At this point the depth of her humility was palpable. I couldn't help but put myself in her shoes for a moment; there were so many senior students from twenty five different countries, some of whom had studied with Geeta and Mr. Iyengar for many decades – what was she going to do? As if from an infinite source, the original points kept coming, the teaching was fresh and pertinent with a mix of highly considered thought and spontaneous application. Even though we were literally mat to mat Geeta would take pains to have someone, who was working the pose incorrectly, to be attended to by the helpers in the room. She genuinely cares about the asanas and the students and even in such a large space, with such large numbers there was often a sense of intimacy. Her sincerity, compassion and humanity shone through; the teaching was as thought provoking and inspiring as ever.
After a while Mr. Iyengar arrived and they taught together, and quite a formidable Duo they were. What was apparent from the start was that their passion for the subject of yoga wasstronger than ever. We spent three hours in the morning on the asanas, after lunch there was an opportunity to chant Patanjali's yoga sutras,and the astottara satanamavalih (108 names of Patanjali) and after a brief rest, two hours pranayama.
In Geeta's opening address she explained that sadhana (practise) can be delineated into three stages in order to increase our understanding of it; essentially the stages are inextricably linked, but in dissecting them we shed light on the process of the sadhana as it evolves. The first stage is bahiranga sadhana (external), then antaranga sadhana (internal) and lastly antaratma (innermost). The three stages of Sadhana each lead to an increased level of absorption, ultimately until one is absorbed in the Soul. As each and every cell of the body becomes cultured in the bahiranga sadhana the consciousness becomes more refined and here Geeta likened the body to a ripened fruit, in terms of its state of readiness to enter a more subtle level of practise. This analogy was broadened out and a parallel made between how we some times eat food but do not absorb the goodness from it. Likewise, we can practice the postures on occasion but not feel the benefit, more time is necessary for assimilation, as Geeta said, "although you are practising, sometimes the body does not take it; sometimes the mind does not take it." Like the tough skin of a fruit, the body can be hard and unresponsive until the asanas have had a chance to break down these patterns of tightness. The cells of the body need to be cultured through the bahiranga sadhana as a pre-requsite to any spiritual understanding.
This exposition was brought alive as it was then immediately interwoven with the teaching of the asanas. As we applied ourselves on a more internal level, we were experiencing this process of the sadhana deepening. Standing in tadasana we were encouraged to keep our minds "juicy", in other words, not to dehydrate the brain by overworking it, but rather letting the intelligence of the body-part being used to be awakened. This awakened consciousness vibrates in every cell of the body, mind and breath, ultimately fusing all of the three stages of sadhana.
It is very difficult to do justice to explaining Geeta's teaching of tadasana; it cannot be broken down by just repeating the words she used, but a few points can be shared to give a flavour of the teaching. Through the masterful use of metaphor, intuitive timing and pacing, she was leading us through a very familiar pose whilst revealing more subtle levels of application.
Samasthiti translates as "equal state", where we aspire to have "attention without tension", so the cells become aware, throughout the whole of the body, simultaneously. For example, in tadasana, we experience vitality in the legs but this vitality lessens as we ascend up the leg. Bahiranga sadhana merges into antaranga sadhana as the vitality in the legs spreads to the dull parts. Bahiranga sadhana is initiated in the feet as they are extended forward from the heel whilst keeping the arch of the foot lifted. Then as the mid-shin area is moved into the calf muscles, the mid and top thighs begin to work, the vitality spreads up the legs and antaranga sadhana comes about.
In urdhva hastasana care was taken to stop the inner shoulder blades moving out as the arms were lifted up with the palms facing each other. This was avoided by dipping the shoulder blades in before lifting the arms and at the same time drawing them down along with the trapezium. The upward lift of the arms was initiated in the chest; from the centre of the armpit the skin lifts up towards the little finger. By contrast, the skin on the back-facing part of the arm was drawn down, from the thumb through the deltoids, taking the area between the shouders with it. The deltoids move down into the body and away from eachother, creating space between the top of the arm and the neck. I found this is a highly useful series of actions to become sensitive to as they can also be employed in other asanas, most noteably, sirsasana, adho mukha svanasana, adho mukha vrksasana.
The relationship between the arms and legs was also highlighted; it was stressed that the head of the femur bone should be taken back whist the arms ascended up. Geeta pointed out that when the head of the femur bone comes forward, the mind wanders, and so the possibility of taking the pose to a deeper level of sadhana is thereby lost. As the top thighs roll in and back, and the tailbone is then brought in, the pelvis becomes compact and lifted and thereby the spine is free to ascend. This ascension is then taken further as the the arms lift up as from the chest. We repeated the asana many times, each one revealing a deeper layer of understanding. The sensitivity to the direction of the skin, flesh and bone takes the experience of the pose to a more internal level.
In bahiranga sadhana we are "Doing" the asana; as the practise evolves into antaratma sadhana we are "Being" in the asana. Geeta's teaching of the asanas in this way perfectly illustrated her opening address about the deepening levels of sadhana; we were having first hand experience of this process under her guidance. The teaching was profound in that it was so simple and yet also extremely powerful. A Master is said to be not just a teacher, but someone who embodies the Essence of their subject and has the power to evoke it to others. It was clear that with Geetaji and Guruji we were in the presence of a two Masters.


What nation of battleships would you recommend if you want to get close to a target and fire as fast as you can as well as it having good armor?
but if secondaries count, german BBs.
German Ships are designed to get within medium or close range and attack, they have the armor and guns to do it, but you do want to improve your secondary guns to get the most of your German Battleships.
Honestly as it stands I would say none.
Since the secondary nurf on the Germans...they just aren't as fun to play.
Yea, when the Biz first came out it was a BLAST to play. SOOOO much fun. Now,,, not so much. Can get 150-200 secondary hits and barely do 10k damage unless you're lucky enough to start fires.
Hindenberg is about it. At close range if you are broadside to most bb's they will just overpen you, and you have a bit of a turtleback. You have great torps, and a lot of fast firing guns.
Just prepare to get focused to oblivion. That often happens with any ship that tries to brawl.
KM if you're looking to brawling with other BBs (or anything for that matter) longest ranges in class; mostly HE focused.
IJN if you're looking to brawl against Cruisers. They tend to have AP secondaries so a broadside Cruiser will likely eat a decent number of Pens.
French if you're looking for a DD deterrent or Fire Starter. Mostly HE, but if you're looking for HE alpha on secondaries you need to take IFHE. The French have the speed to get in and haven't good range. But the 10cm guns are better suited for AA unless spec'ed for.
USN is worthy of note; DP 127s aren't the greatest. But since you're most likely to spec them for AA you'll get decent returns for them as SBs. Argueably they are the Most Versatile Secondaries depending how you spec. Most DDs already have 127s and do "fine" without IFHE. So a Secondary/AA build on a USN BB could looks something like this and still be effective as an AA platform. AFT, MFCAA, SBM2 - adequate range for Secondaries, minor range boost for AA, increased Focused DPS for long range AA.
Are you seriously trying to suggest that the German battleships are broken because they no longer have twice to three times the fire chance on their 10.5cm guns as the same 10.5cm guns on cruisers?
This change barely affected Bismarck or Gneisnau-- The only ships in the line that were even affected.
And it wasn't a nerf. It was a bug fix. Adapt and overcome.

Q: ¿Cómo hacer un makefile que calcule las dependencias? En el proyecto que me han asignado utilizan un conjunto de makefiles muy primitivo en que cada objeto .o depende solo del .cpp a partir del que se genera.
Lo cual nos obliga a hacer un make clean cada vez que tenemos que compilar algo con la consiguiente pérdida de tiempo pues tarda un par de minutos en compilar todo.
Simplificándolo a lo esencial del problema, el makefile con el que trabajo es este :
CPP=g++
CPPFLAGS = -fPIC -Wall
INCLUDES =

.SUFFIXES: .cpp

.cpp.o :
        $(CPP) $(CPPFLAGS) $(INCLUDES) -o $@ -c $<

OBJETOS =\
        a.o\
        b.o\

%.o : %.cpp
        $(CPP) $(CPPFLAGS) $(INCLUDES) -o $(@F) -c $<

ejecutable: $(OBJETOS)
        $(CPP) $(LDFLAGS) $(OBJETOS) -o ejecutable

all : ejecutable

clean :
        -rm -f *.o
        -rm -f ejecutable

Y los ficheros .cpp y .h serían los siguientes :
// Fichero a.h
#ifndef _A_H_
#define _A_H_
#endif  // _A_H_

// Fichero b.h
#ifndef _B_H_
#define _B_H_
#endif  // _B_H_

// Fichero comun.h
#include "comun.h"
#ifndef _COMUN_H_
#define _COMUN_H_
#endif  // _COMUN_H_

// Fichero a.cpp
#include "a.h"

// Fichero b.cpp
#include "a.h"
#include "b.h"
int main(void) {
  return 0;
}

Es fácil ver que con el makefile anterior un cambio en a.h no provocaría una recompilación al hacer make, motivo por el que tenemos que hacer 'make clean' antes.
Hacer un makefile correcto para el ejemplo anterior es fácil :
CPP=g++
CPPFLAGS = -fPIC -Wall
INCLUDES =

.SUFFIXES: .cpp

.cpp.o :
    $(CPP) $(CPPFLAGS) $(INCLUDES) -o $@ -c $<

OBJETOS =\
    a.o\
    b.o\

ejecutable: $(OBJETOS)
    $(CPP) $(LDFLAGS) $(OBJETOS) -o ejecutable

a.o : a.cpp a.h comun.h
b.o : b.cpp a.h b.h comun.h

%.o : %.cpp
    $(CPP) $(CPPFLAGS) $(INCLUDES) -o $(@F) -c $<

all : ejecutable

clean :
    -rm -f *.o
    -rm -f ejecutable

Pero este makefile mejorado tiene dos problemas :

*

*En el proyecto real hay cientos de archivos y escribir a mano las dependencias sería muy costoso.

*Aunque las escribiese a mano. Cada vez que se modifique un archivo para añadir o quitar un #include hay que modificar el makefile.

¿Cómo puedo hacer para que el makefile calcule las dependencias cada vez?

A: Tiene que cambiar el Makefile un poco para añadir la generacion de las dependencias para cada fichero, como se indica aquí (en inglés). gcc (y g++ por tanto) generará todas las dependencias de un .c o .cpp usando la opción -MM:
CPP=g++
CPPFLAGS = -fPIC -Wall
INCLUDES =

OBJETOS =\
    a.o\
    b.o\

DEPS = $(OBJETOS:.o=.dep)

.SUFFIXES: .cpp .dep

all : ejecutable

# añadir la informacion de las dependencias para .o archivos existentes
include $(DEPS)

%.dep : %.cpp
    $(CPP) -MM $(CPPFLAGS) $(INCLUDES) $< > $@

# ¿las dos reglas iguales?
%.o : %.cpp
    $(CPP) $(CPPFLAGS) $(INCLUDES) -o $@ -c $<

#.cpp.o :
#        $(CPP) $(CPPFLAGS) $(INCLUDES) -o $@ -c $<

ejecutable: $(OBJETOS)
    $(CPP) $(LDFLAGS) $(OBJETOS) -o ejecutable

clean :
    -rm -f $(OBJETOS) $(DEPS)
    -rm -f ejecutable

Puede verificarse así:
> make clean
rm -f a.o b.o  a.dep b.dep
rm -f ejecutable
>  make
Makefile:17: a.dep: No such file or directory
Makefile:17: b.dep: No such file or directory
g++ -MM -fPIC -Wall  b.cpp > b.dep
g++ -MM -fPIC -Wall  a.cpp > a.dep
g++ -fPIC -Wall  -o a.o -c a.cpp
g++ -fPIC -Wall  -o b.o -c b.cpp
g++  a.o b.o  -o ejecutable
>  make
make: Nothing to be done for `all'.
>  touch a.h
>  make
g++ -fPIC -Wall  -o a.o -c a.cpp
g++ -fPIC -Wall  -o b.o -c b.cpp
g++  a.o b.o  -o ejecutable
>  touch b.h
>  make
g++ -fPIC -Wall  -o b.o -c b.cpp
g++  a.o b.o  -o ejecutable
> _

I've had eczema all my life, especially in the cracks in the skin around my joints, that is, my elbows, behind the knees, in between my thighs and at the top of my arms.
Just recently I have started to get it on my bottom and all the way down my legs. When the marks do heal I am left with scars.
I would just like to know if there is anything you could suggest. This is the time of year when I want to show my legs, but these scabs and scars are unsightly.
I used to use Betnovate cream twice daily, as well as Oilatum bath formula and DiproBase moisturising cream.
It is very clear that you are working hard to keep the eczema under control particularly with the regular use of moisturising treatments.
Your eczema is probably being aggravated by an underlying infection causing the changes you have noticed.
It is sometimes difficult to distinguish the alternatives: bacterial, yeast or even fungal superimposed infections.
The skin, although it is spread over the whole body, behaves like a single organ. On occasions quite a localised infection will produce a widespread response.
It would be well worth asking your GP's advice both to identify the cause and to add an appropriate treatment to your present regime.
Meanwhile continue with the regular programme of moisturising the skin.

Brian A. Adair can help you divide your matrimonial property in Red Deer if you are going through a divorce. Matrimonial property is anything owned by either or both spouses before or during their marriage. This property can be a house you and your spouse owned during their marriage, but it is also considered to be the contents of the home, vehicles you both owned while married, work pensions and certain debts. Some things are excluded from the standard definition of matrimonial property. Some of these include gifts, inheritances, trusts, personal items like clothing, business assets, and insurance proceeds. When a couple separates, the matrimonial property must be divided. In most cases, matrimonial property is divided equally. You and your spouse can decide on whatever agreement you want as well. Contact us today for more information on this service.

I captured this photograph as this man was sitting on a park bench along Music Row in Nashville, TN. He told me that he has a dream of becoming a country singer. He sometimes visits the restaurants on Music Row and see's songwriters who recognize him because he has been visiting the establishments for so many years.
