Unexplored tales showcased in Cinema One Plus' five films this November
Cinema One Plus as launched during press conference last October 29 held at the ELJ Bldg., Abs-Cbn.
The Cinema One Originals Festival, now on a bigger and better 9th year of putting the spotlight on the best of independent filmmakers and their wide array of creations, surges another burst of energy into the Filipino movie industry with a total of fifteen full length feature films, with five of which comprising Cinema One Plus, the first of two in the festival's main categories.
Among the directors that are part of this year's Cinema One Plus, the festival's P2M budget category, are Borgy Torre for "Kabisera", Mes de Guzman for "Sitio", Miko Livelo for "Blue Bustamante", Adolfo Alix, Jr. for "Alamat ni China Doll", and Keith Sicat for "Woman of the Ruins".
Here are the five films of Cinema One Plus.
"Kabisera"
"Kabisera" by Director Borgy Torre is an action film that details one man's transformation from a naive, innocent character into a ruthless father and friend upon finding a huge amount of illegal substances that he can easily make money out of. Starring Joel Torre, Art Acuña, Bing Pimentel, Bernard Palanca, Ketchup Eusebio, and Meryll Soriano, "Kabisera" ultimately leads to the question: If given the chance to make big bucks out of something as dangerous as dealing drugs, what would you do?
On the other hand, Director Mes de Guzman's entry into the Cinema One Originals Festival this year is a psychological thriller. Entitled "Sitio", it tells the tale of upper middle class siblings who try to find the meaning of a simpler life by moving from the city to the province. However, unknown to them are the terrors and threats that really lie in the rural landscape. "Sitio" stars John Prats, Ria Garcia, Anja Aguilar, Arnold Reyes, Biboy Ramirez, RK Bagatsing, and Jess Mendoza.
"Blue Bustamante"
Director Miko Livelo brings to the table a family drama comedy this year entitled "Blue Bustamante". His entertaining submission to the festival is about an OFW who suddenly finds himself jobless in Japan. Looking for anything to do, he meets a Sentai director who convinces him to be a double for Blue Force, a superhero character in an upcoming Japanese superhero show. "Blue Bustamante" stars Joem Bascon, Jun Sabayton, Dimples Romana, and Jhiz Deocareza.
"Alamat ni China Doll"
In Adolfo Alix, Jr.'s "Alamat ni China Doll", a 27-year old named Helen is keen on graduating from high school and starting a new life—but once she gets her hands on a recently published article on the truth about "China Doll", she realizes details that shed light on her haunting past. With its screenplay written by Lav Diaz, "Alamat ni China Doll" stars Angelica Panganiban, Cherry Pie Picache, Cesar Montano, Phillip Salvador, Anita Linda, Allan Paule, and Evelyn Vargas.
"Woman of the Ruins"
"Woman of the Ruins" by Director Keith Sicat is a work of science fiction that brings its viewers to a storm-ravaged island that has seen its share of tragedy. There, a person who has been assumed dead mysteriously reappears and ignites a frenzy of reactions, ranging from ecstatic religious fervor to cold, chilling fear. Sicat's film this year stars Allesandra de Rossi, Art Acuna, Chanel Latorre, Elizabeth Oropesa, Peque Gallaga, Moises Magisa, Joe Gruta, and Rolando Inoencio.
Don't miss out on the 9th Cinema One Originals Festival, running from November 11 to 19 at Glorietta, Trinoma, and Robinson's Galleria. Also watch out for Cinema One Originals Currents, the festival's P1M category which features ten films this year.
The Cinema One Originals Festival is brought to you by the country's number one cable channel, Cinema One. In a Cinema One film, absolutely anything is possible.

Lets get this chance to 'Hangout' with One Direction through SPINNR!
Mobile leader Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart), through its newly launched all-access music service SPINNR, is giving one lucky Filipino fan a chance to hang out with British pop group One Direction during the band's "1D Day" global event slated for November 23.
In a one-hour Google Hangout with One Direction during "1D Day", one lucky Pinoy Directioner (One Direction fan) will get a chance to virtually meet, greet and talk with the members of the British band via video conference along with winners from other Asian countries such as South Korea, Malaysia, Taiwan and the Middle East.
"1D Day" is a 7-hour worldwide live stream special that the group has prepared for loyal Directioners in anticipation of the release of their third studio album, Midnight Memories, on November 25. The second single from the album, "Story Of My Life," has already been released prior to launch.
To get this rare chance to chat and bond with One Direction, fans only need to register at the SPINNR.ph website, the biggest and most comprehensive music portal in the country where Directioners will also get the chance to download the Midnight Memories album upon launch.
"In keeping with our promise during the Smart Music launch, we are giving Filipinos the total music experience through SPINNR, where loyal One Direction fans can now have the chance to get up close and personal with their idols," said Mellissa Limcaoco, Head of Smart's Innovation and Product Development Group.
Formed in 2010 after finishing third in the British singing competition The X Factor, One Direction—composed of Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles—has since produced chart-topping hits such as "What Makes You Beautiful," "Live While We're Young," "Little Things" and the first single off their latest album, "Best Song Ever."
These and other One Direction songs are all available for streaming and download via SPINNR, the country's first ever all-in music service brought to Filipinos by Smart in partnership with record labels MCA Music, Inc. (internationally known as Universal Music Group, Inc.), Sony Music Entertainment and Ivory Records.
"With SPINNR, we are not just bringing Filipinos' music experience to the next level by giving them access to millions of digital songs they can listen to anytime, but with events such as 1D Day and the Google Hangout with One Direction, we are bringing them closer to all of their music idols," Limcaoco added.
Officially launched in late October, SPINNR offers more than just music downloads as it allows unlimited music streaming at affordable rates via desktop or laptop PCs, smartphones, and tablets. For just P15, music aficionados can stream from SPINNR's vast music catalog for 15 days and get 20% discount on music track downloads. The service is also available for 7 days of unlimited streaming at just P7, and 30 days for just P30.
But aside from providing a service where music aficionados can listen to their favorite tracks, SPINNR elevates the music experience by giving users exclusive access to the latest and biggest music events happening in the country, such as the upcoming One Republic concert tour at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
SPINNR is exclusively available to all Smart, Sun Cellular and Talk 'N Text subscribers. Users only need to register via spinnr.ph to access the features, or download the SPINNR app at the Google Play Store so they can enjoy their music whenever and wherever they go.

Earth-like twin found beyond the solar system
CAPE CANAVERAL- For the first time, scientists have found a planet beyond the solar system that not only is the same size as Earth, but has the same proportions of iron and rock, a key step in an ongoing quest to find potentially habitable sister worlds.
Photo by David A. Aguilar, Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics/Reuters
The planet, known as Kepler-78b, circles a star that is slightly smaller than the sun located in the constellation Cygnus, about 400 light years away.
One light year, is the distance light, moving at 186,282 miles per second (299,792 kilometers per second) travels in a year, or about 6 trillion miles (10 trillion kilometers).
Kepler-78b was discovered last year with NASA's now-idled Kepler space telescope, which detected potential planets as they circled in front of their parent stars, blocking a bit of light.
That measurement not only revealed that Kepler-78b was relatively small, with a diameter just 20 percent larger than Earth's, but that it was practically orbiting on the surface of its host star.
While the planet's presumably molten surface and searing temperatures make it ill-suited for life, two independent teams of astronomers jumped at the opportunity to follow up the discovery with ground-based measurements to try to determine the density of Kepler-78b.
Using different telescopes, the teams zeroed in on how strongly the little planet's gravity tugs at its parent star, information that could be used to figure out Kepler-78b's weight and composition.
In two papers in this week's journal Nature, the teams report that not only were they successful, but that they came to the same conclusion: Kepler-78b has roughly the same density as Earth, suggesting that it also is made primarily of rock and iron.
Earth's density is 343 pounds per cubic foot (5.5 grams per cubic centimeter). Kepler-78b is 331 pounds per cubic foot (5.3 grams per cubic centimeter).
Scientists would like to be able to make the same measurements of Earth-sized planets in more life-friendly orbits, but that is beyond today's technology.
"The only reason they've been able to do this is because it's an Earth-mass planet in really close to the star," said University of Maryland astronomer Drake Deming.
"To me this means that planets like the Earth are probably not all that uncommon," he added.
Kepler-78b is among a dozen or so recently discovered small planets that orbit very close to their parent stars. Kepler-78b, for example, completes an orbit in just 8.5 hours.
Scientists do not know how the planets ended up so close to their host stars. One theory is that the bodies are the rocky remains of larger gas planets that migrated inward and had their atmospheres stripped away.

Enjoy Music with Smart SPINNR - PH's first mobile-linked all-in music service
Music is the universal language of mankind and music touches us emotionally. I love music as ever, one of great quotes I love about music from Plato, "Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything."
And here's more to enjoy music, to be inspired and to have total awesome experience!
Smart Music launches SPINNR - PH's first mobile-linked all-in music service. After unveiling Smart Music in July this year, leading wireless services provider Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart) brings the promise of making music more enjoyable to more Filipinos to a higher level with the launch of SPINNR - the all-new everything-music site that serves up the "total music experience."
The first of its kind in the country, SPINNR powered by Smart Music offers more than just music downloads. It makes possible unlimited music streaming at the most affordable rates, playlist customization and access, and the best download discounts.
SPINNR is accessible via web and mobile browser, and with the new SPINNR Android app, music access, discovery and personalization are easier than ever before.
"When we introduced Smart Music, we promised to give Filipino music fans not just the most affordable music downloads and the largest music catalog, but also the total music experience," said Charles A. Lim, Smart's executive vice president and head of wireless consumer business. "SPINNR is the fulfillment of that promise, and we're excited to introduce this service that will further infuse music in the Filipinos' way of life."
With SPINNR, Smart will be the first to offer in the country a music-streaming subscription service with unlimited access to more than 3 million songs from the catalogs of worldwide music leaders MCA Music, Inc. (internationally known as Universal Music Group, Inc.); and Sony Music Entertainment, through a partnership with local licensee Ivory Music and Video.
"For just P15 for two weeks, that's Php1 a day, SPINNR users can easily subscribe to a package via the site or the app to enjoy unlimited full-track streaming of the widest selection of songs," said Mellissa Limcaoco, head of Smart's Innovation and Product Development group. "They can simply click to listen to all available songs - from the current chart-toppers of Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Justin Timberlake and One Direction; to the classic oldies, hard-to-find tracks and OPM favorites."
The SPINNR Plus 15 package also offers a 20% discount for full song downloads - further lowering down SPINNR's most affordable download rate of P10-P15 per song. Other membership packages are, SPINNR Plus 7 (P7 for 7 days, with 10% download discount) and SPINNR Plus Premium (P29 for 30 days, with 30% download discount). The SPINNR Plus VIP (P49 for 30 days) offers 50% song download discounts plus first and exclusive access to Smart Music's events, promos and other perks.
"SPINNR is also taking music discovery to the next level by making it more interactive and social. Aside from being able to listen to predefined or create your own playlists, you can also get recommendations based on your likes and you can even post your favorite songs on Twitter and Facebook to let you express how you feel through music," added Limcaoco.
"The soul of the SPINNR service is how you manage and enjoy your music, plus get added music perks through your own personal account - your SPINNR membership," said Lim. "By linking your Smart, Talk 'N Text or Sun Cellular mobile number, you can securely log-in and avail of subscription packages and purchase songs by paying through your prepaid load or charging to your postpaid bill. No need for credit cards."

"And because you can log-in via web, mobile or app through a single account, your activities are reflected in all of these portals, making your music library more accessible and more mobile,' he added.
SPINNR's music streaming feature addresses the evolving listening habits especially of young music lovers who prefer the streaming experience over downloading the music tracks on their phones. And with Smart's expansive 4G coverage across the Philippines, music fans will enjoy fast and seamless streaming experience wherever they are in the country.
But aside from having "anytime, anywhere" access to their favorite music, SPINNR members can also have VIP access and meet-and-greet privileges in the most anticipated concerts and music events by both local and international artists. Members also get access to exclusive content and the chance to download tracks and albums as soon they are released.
"We envision SPINNR as a community of Filipino music-lovers having access to the best and the biggest collection of music anytime, anywhere through their mobile," said Limcaoco. "And we will design our programs and activities - whether music festivals, artist engagements, independent music production and promotion - to cater to those who have music deeply integrated in the way they live life. SPINNR is music made awesome."

A preview of the Smart Music experience through SPINNR will be seen in upcoming big music events happening in the Philippines. For the One Republic concert tour, SPINNR will have lucky members experience VIP treatment and an all-access pass to the concert at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
SPINNR will also give one lucky Directioner (One Direction fan) a chance to bond with the British pop group through a one-hour Google Hangout when the group launches its new album through a global webcast sometime in November.
Powering SPINNR, Smart Music will also launch a music advocacy campaign that will promote responsible use of music content, and for aspiring musicians, hold clinics that will have renowned producers and artists teach them to write, produce and market their own music.
SPINNR is offering first-time users to enjoy unlimited music streaming at no cost for their first 15 days.
Registration is open to all Smart, Talk 'N Text and Sun Cellular subscribers via web or mobile browser or via the app from Google Play.
To register, simply go to spinnr.ph. For the latest updates and exclusive music promos, join facebook.com/SpinnrPhilippines or follow SpinnrPH on Twitter and Instagram.

Book: 'Searching for Heaven on Earth' by David Jeremiah
Here is a book full of wisdom, on how to find the meaning of life. I would truly recommend this book to anyone who is trying to figure out the purpose in life.
"Searching for Heaven on Earth" by Dr. David Jeremiah offers valuable insights on wisdom and folly, on chance and purpose, and on life and meaning. This is an excellent gift for someone who is wondering his/her purpose in this world.
Emptiness, disappointment, longing…ever since Eden, wealth, power, pleasure—-even family and friends—-have been unable to fill the vacancy within each heart. Drawing wisdom from Ecclesiastes, Jeremiah will help you discover the "one thing" necessary for a rich and meaningful life. Gain assurance of who you are, who sent you, and why!
"Searching for Heaven on Earth" is a finalist of both the ECPA Gold Medallion Book Award and the Jordon Christian Book of the Year Award.
Back Cover Text:
Don't you deserve a little happiness?
They are the questions that plague us:
Is happiness within my reach?
Why is life so frustrating?
Or to put it another way, "Where can I find a little heaven on earth?"
History's most successful man, Solomon, wondered just that! And as Dr. David Jeremiah shows us, he was a man who tested life's haunting questions head-on. And tasted life's riches full-on. And who found his answers in the last place he thought to look.
Listen, then, to his voice. A voice that, if you pay attention, will speak directly to your flesh and bones and heart. A voice that admits: Maybe happiness is an empty hope. Or maybe we've simply been looking in all the wrong places…

Happy Bread Day at Gardenia's Bread Town !
Gardenia has opened the Bread Town last Monday, October 28 at Glorietta Activity Center, Makati City.
Happy Bread Day with the bread makers and bread lovers advocate the philosophy of "sharing" and "breaking" of bread as a significant and symbolic humanitarian act.
Gardenia opened the gates of Bread Town, a wondrous place where lots of fun activities, prizes, games, surprises and overflowing breads shared to those who join the celebration. This event is made even bigger with the culmination of Gardenia's search for the Next Big Sandwich Hit; a sandwich-making and business idea generation competition among 10 universities in Manila with HRM or Culinary course.
Gardenia Bakeries Philippines, Inc. (GBPI), the company that makes the household favorite Gardenia breads famous for its good taste, freshness, softness, oven-baked aroma and nutritive-value, celebrates yet another exciting "Happy Bread Day," at the Glorietta Activity Center in Makati City, invited all families, friends and anyone who just love to eat bread to celebrate with them during this special day.
"Gardenia Happy Bread Day", on its third straight year, commemorates the role of bread as a vital part of everyone's daily nutritional and sustenance.
"Happy Bread Day" is also Gardenia's own way of reminding Filipinos to have fun and show their love for bread in line with the "World Bread Day" celebration which is held every October 16, where all bread lovers from all over the world share the goodness of bread.
Visitors of Gardenia Bread Town experience exciting activities from different booths starting with the Wheat Bread Boulevard where health buffs get to sample Gardenia's healthy-licious breads. "Kids and adults alike had ga-ga for muffins while having their photos taken at the Muffin Studio. While those who love cream rolls and fun buns were happy to play at the Cream Roll Nook and Fun Bun Playground.
For curious minds who want to know more about Gardenia's rich history, the Gardenia Museum provides all the answers to their questions. Then after having a long and tiring stroll around the Gardenia Bread Town, visitors come, chill and relax in the "Pandesal Café" or savor sweet treats from the Gardenia "Flavored Bread Station."
Meanwhile, the G-Lock Wall held thousands of G-locks; a color coded tag which guarantees the freshness of Gardenia breads. Each G-lock donated by visitors corresponded to two loaves donated to Gardenia's chosen charities. Happy visitors write their memorable Bread Town experience in the Toast Wall and taken home tokens which they pick from the Bread Tree.
The teams from different schools went through grueling qualifying rounds before they were able to earn the right to represent their schools.But it did not stop there, teams got to test the saleability of their sandwiches and experience real life business challenges at the Midnight Mercato leg at Bonifacio Global City. Teams competed among other schools for the most peso sales which is part of their final scores.And the finale of "The Next Big Sandwich Hit" is by no means a pushover when it comes to grandeur, for the winners stand the chance of bringing home more than P200,000 worth of prizes!
This is the ultimate bread experience for all. Here are some of the pictures I shot during the Gappy Bread Day.

A mobile residence takes a day to deliver and arrange, but a modular can take many days to put collectively and have the ending touches carried out. Mobile homes have wheels and axles designed for transferring on the highways, and these could stay fastened to the house after it is positioned on blocks and utilities are connected to it. When a cellular house is put in on blocks and the utilities are related, it is ready to be inhabited. The inspiration for the modular residence is installed on the positioning to suit the building, the same manner that a basis is put in for a house built on the site. Sewer and water are brought to the foundation for hookup after the modular units are put in. Many modular homes have brick veneer, which have to be put in after the units are set. But those on the lookout for large reductions from manufacturers are positive to be dissatisfied.
When the models for a modular home are set with a crane, there is still some work remaining to be achieved. Codes might vary from one city to a different in the identical state, and the builder must know the codes of the supposed location in order that there is no such thing as a downside with the home plan that the purchaser selects. Sometimes, modular builders should submit plans for approval to the local codes office earlier than the home is even built. Of course, your calculations are positive to soar north, if the ground plans and options have something special to supply. Since both site preparation and building are carried out simultaneously, it results in decreased building time. Although a modular set up is sooner than constructing on site, it does take extra time from order placement to complete out than a cellular house does. Does the value of a building from a mobile house producer improve, lower, mapcarta or stay the same over time? There are some similarities between mobile homes and modular ones, however they don't seem to be the identical product.
There are particular lenience given to the mobile house as a result of it is not thought-about to be a permanent structure. Mobile homes do lower in value over time, however the modular home ought to achieve in value because it's a conventionally constructed dwelling. For one factor, a mobile residence is built beneath a different set of codes than a modular constructing. Curtains and furnishings have to be installed, and the utility tie-ins have to be inspected by the codes department. Generally, no less than a number of the floor masking needs to be put in, some amount of carpentry work has to be completed, together with contact ups on drywall and painting. But it's also necessary to crunch these numbers that lie past the hyperbolic headlines and have grow to be the supreme inspiration for the scores of column inches everywhere in the nation. They don't have any wheels connected to them. The most important advantage to a modular dwelling is the better high quality control involved as a result of the constructing is constructed inside a warehouse, sheltered from the elements, and below extra managed supervision.
These sorts of homes promise unrivaled high quality and memorable pace of building. There are a lot of builders that supply properties at prices that ship your optimism soaring. There are not any binary perceptions about the fact that price for modular homes is sort of at all times lowers than that of a similar site-constructed home. Why do people consider prefabricated houses when there are so many builders who will likely be glad to "stick construct" their residence? Modular homes are moved in sections on trailers. Modular homes are completely customizable, and on completion exude the same kind of warmth and luxury like typical stick-constructed homes. Modular homes are constructed for specific regions of the country, and certainly one of the first questions requested of a modular customer is the place they plan to set up the home. Conventional wisdom suggests that the fee per sq. foot of a modular house is anywhere between 5%-25% less than traditional site-constructed houses.

Most of the art of fortune telling has not been proven scientifically and yet it has withstood the test of time because humans aspire to liberate themselves from the complex challenges that life presents to them. We may believe in fate and yet we hope to change our destiny and overcome calamities to the best of our ability, sometimes turning to predictions, dreams and revelations for guidance to success and fortune.
In this article I will briefly try to reveal what significance numbers have in Chinese culture. Numbers have always played an important part in our life. We can�t get by without numbers whether it is telephone numbers, house numbers or pin numbers. People have known to pay top premium to have certain telephone numbers and we also hear of houses that command a high price because of the number and we also hear of houses that take longer to sell because of their number.
Chinese numbers are classified as either Yin number or a Yang number. Yin number is female and a yang number is male. Chinese numbers begin with one and zero is considered too negative to be a starting number. Numbers are Homonymy that is they are based on sound. Balance of yin and yang gender of the numbers has been deeply rooted in Chinese culture for centuries and maybe taken more seriously.
Odd numbers (1,3,5,7,9) are Yang and Even numbers (2,4,6,8) are Yin.
one sounds like yi and yi means easy and honour respectively. It is the beginning of all things. One is indivisible because it is a perfect entity. It is auspicious in sound and it augurs good fortune. When yi combines with other numbers the resulting number may be very auspicious. 12 is a good number as it sounds like �easy to; and when 12 is followed by 8 it sounds like �easy to succeed�.
One and three which is 13 sounds like she sheng (sure to grow). If the number one is followed by 3, 6, 7,8,9 it still sounds good. But 113, 117 and 119 may not be balanced in gender as they are too yang but 113 as still acceptable to businessmen as it sounds like sure to grow. To make it more balanced add a yin number so 1132 (sure to grow and run smoothly), 1136 (sure to make profits), 1138 (sure to prosper).
Two � Er is yin, symmetrical, bilateral and symbolic of two complementary forces, Yin and Yang, Sun and Moon, day and night, man and woman. Also symbolises reinforcement (doubling up). Er in Cantonese is pronounced as Yi which means easy and is therefore popular.
Three - San is Yang. It takes 3 points to create a geometrical shape. In Cantonese it sounds like sheng (growth, alive) therefore regarded as a lucky number.
Four � Wholesome shape such as square or rectangle. Sounds like si in Cantonese which means die therefore is not very popular. It is a yin number and therefore not as popular as a yang number. 14 is a number that needs special mention. 1 sounds as sure and 4 sounds as die so 14 would sound as sure to die and 1414 would sound as very sure to die. But 1148 is different as it sounds as sure to prosper at the end.
The only time 4 is auspicious is when it is used with 5 or 8. eg. 54 will be shall live forever and will not perish, 48 will be sure to prosper and 84 will be very prosperous or prosperity forever.
But you also have 4 seasons.
Five is a Yang, complete number. You have 5 fingers, 5 organs, 5 elements. It is popular as many auspicious things are classified as wu. It represents the central position, thus indicating that it means balance. But in Cantonese it sounds like nothing. It is auspicious when combined with 20 or 40. So 25 or 45 is yin and yang balance.
And you have the 5 symbolic colours: red, yellow, green, black and white. 5 directions: north, south, east, west and central. 5 metals: gold, silver, bronze, steel and tin. 5 elements: Metal, wood, water, fire and earth.
Six is a Yin number and in Cantonese six is liu which sounds like good luck. Lu the deer has always been a lucky symbol for the Chinese as lui sounds like lu which means auspiciousness.
16, 63, 65 or 67 are all auspicious as it is good balance of yin and yang.
Seven is a Yang number, Days of the week, associated with festivals. It is regarded as an auspicious number as in Cantonese it is similar to the word shi (sure).
Eight Yin sounds like the word fa so it represents good luck. Even though it is a yin number it represents luck to the Cantonese because it sounds like fa (multiply). Then you have the 8 directions, north, south, east, west, north-east, southeast, southwest and north west which appear as trigrams on the ba gua.
Nine is the last of the Yang numbers. It represents longevity. Phrases and things associated with 9 are mostly auspicious and significant to man. When combined with Yin number it makes the whole number auspicious. 29 is a good balance of yin and yang.
Ten is a yin number and the last of the numbers on the decimal scale, it implies shi chuan or completeness. But it is not particularly auspiciousness as it is yin. It becomes auspicious when combined with 6 or 8, So 16 or 18 are very auspicious as it yin, yang. 16 means sure to be wealthy and 18 is sure to be prosperous.
There it is the mystery of Chinese numbers and the myths of numbers 4 and 8 demystified. Do write to me on your views about this article and I am happy to help you with specific numbers. I could go on writing about all the numbers but it wouldn�t be relevant to everybody.

Wise Age Success in Training the Trainers as Age and Employment Experts
Final Report by Chris Walsh (Chief Exec – Wise Age ) on Resourcing Older People's Employment Support ( ROPES) Project, delivered by Wise Age Ltd, funded by Trust for London.
This is the end of the 2016 – 2018 ROPES project contract which was generously funded by Trust for London (TFL) . It is also the culmination of 2 year's previous contracted work funded by TFL in 2014-2015. This is my Chief Exec's summary of the project and should be read in conjunction with our Independent Evaluators report on the project.
The aim of the ROPES programme was to run a 'Training the Trainers' programme to help develop the awareness, expertise and ability to deliver support by London Voluntary and community organisations, in the fields of Age and Employment support to over 50s needing employment and self-employment.
This programme has proved to be a great success as we have been able to actively train and support over 80 voluntary and community sector organisations and individuals that included organisations from every borough that the programme targeted. They were given 3 days training, covering all aspects of the situation and barriers facing older people; the ageist myths that employers hold; plus the benefits that older workers bring and the benefits that age diversity brings to employers. We provided templates which each beneficiary organisation could use and customise to help them evaluate, register, update and monitor client progress. We then used and passed on our 20 years of experience in working with older people needing employability training and support and explained the specific and necessary requirements that older learners need, offering templates for delivering training and support.
In addition, we covered best practice examples from around the UK and in Europe both with age friendly businesses and in helping older people back to work, plus facilitated learners in carrying out local research into the Employment and unemployment situation by age in their boroughs and in lobbying councils for change to help older people in their area.
We received positive feedback from the vast majority of our beneficiaries.
To continue accessing this information and support we set up a ROPES special members only section of our website which features 5 different elements to our library allowing people to use and access all this online support.
We also continued our support after the training to include newsletters, regular network meetings plus 121 support.
The other area of practical follow up work we did was to encourage local partnerships between beneficiary organisations and facilitated organisations applying for funding and setting up consortia.
As a result of our work there has been greater community and voluntary sector awareness around issues of older working age, the incidence of institutional ageism and ways to overcome these barriers.
There have been a number of organisations, including Housing Associations and smaller specialist agencies who have now got contracts to deliver DWP contract for the over 50s , both at regional funding levels for specific boroughs and also for larger pan regional ESF funded 50+ support for DWP clients that was led by Redbridge CVS.
We have been able, through ROPES, to research and develop best practice examples in order to produce 2 brochures around Age and Employment – one for Unemployed Seniors and the other for employers. These booklets are being used to help other CVS advisors and unemployed over 50s access best practice to help older job seekers find employment or self-employment. The Employers booklet is being used as part of wider campaigns to a educate and persuade employers of the benefits of retaining and employing over 50s employees and why an age diverse workforce improves their business performance. These booklets in pdf format have now been sent to all ROPES members and is available to be downloaded by site visitors. In addition, as part of our ROPES legacy programme we have printed off and are disseminating both brochures, which have received positive responses from both senior clients and C&VS agencies
We believe that as a result of this project we have been able to build a network of knowledgeable organisations and individuals able to help older people out of poverty and into employment and in the process overcoming social isolation, as well as helping the CVS to engage with the DWP and other agencies in a way that is effective for older people.
The indirect impact has been to help hundreds of over 50s Londoners who are out of work into employment or self-employment (50% of our Wise Age clients have been helped into work as opposed to the UK average for the 50+ of 15%). This has been as a result of ROPES beneficiary organisations both obtaining contracts for the local DWP 50+ employment support contracts, local borough 50+ programmes and being sub-contractors for wider ESF 50+ and allied programmes. The over 50s have been a key demographic in wider employment support programmes aimed at single parents, BAME and women unemployed clients and in particular Carers and ex- carers (as 50% of all carers in England are aged 50- 65). The members of our ROPES networked helped others along the road to employment, through volunteering and in so doing reduce their social isolation, loneliness and poverty.
All of the research, presentations, best practice examples and templates for seniors, employers and advisors has now been transferred from our Wise Age members only section to our home page of our www.wiseage.org.uk website ( to be found under Seniors, Employers and Advisors and Researchers sections).
We also held a final conference in 2018 around the issues of age and Employment – focusing on the situation in London. This was attended by DWP reps who were interested in our research, work and approach, which has further strengthened our relationship with the DWP who increasingly recognise the importance of supporting older unemployed seniors, especially those who are long term unemployed.
In addition, we have followed up this work, along with ROPES colleagues, to promote the key issues and recommendations that older job seekers and those that work with them to decision makers in London, in particular the Mayor of London. We are working with the Mayor's Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) team to help ensure that their EDI strategy incorporates the needs, demands and ideas of older Londoners, including those that relate to employment. This is an ongoing exercise which Wise Age and partners is actively engaged in and is working to incorporate an Employment and Skills set of recommendations and concerns within the wider project of helping the GLA to make London an Age Friendly city.
The ongoing challenges that face us include the decline of the voluntary sector. This has meant that some of the organisations we helped and who were ROPES members have since stopped operating, due largely to the lack of funding for the Community and Voluntary sector; further compounded by the massive cuts which local government has faced over the last 8 years, which in turn led to the reduction of grants and contracts available to the CVS. In addition, some of the people who were working on relevant older people's employment support contracts for member organisations were let go as there was insufficient funding to continue their contracts. As the workload has increased for the Community and Voluntary sector while people and resources have declined it has led to a greater amount of pressure on existing staff and resources so that the primary basis for ongoing collaboration has had to be focused around trying to find new funding opportunities and contracts. However at local levels the relationships built up between members has been positive – especially between larger CVS organisations , such as Housing Associations, local Age UK borough branches and branches of national charities ( such as MIND) and smaller local specialist agencies ( who deal at a local level or around a particular client demographic such as Women Refugees, and Somali Pensioners).
Wise Age has also tried to involve local ROPES partners in other age related and employment projects in Hackney, Tower Hamlets, Newham and Lewisham.
There is now a growing realisation that older working age people have a lot to offer, that age diversity really does increase employers' profitability, productivity and staff morale and retention. As London faces a future with fewer numbers of young EU people coming to work, the importance of older Londoners joining the workforce and being re-skilled and retrained to work in a more flexible way and be able to support younger members of the workforce is being seen as a key feature in future workforce and HR development by companies of all sizes and in all sectors.
We thank Trust for London for their ongoing support and hope that our legacy will continue to help build the awareness of the importance of older working age people, of age diversity and as a result lead to even more older Londoners being employed in jobs they are good at and enjoy doing.

Wise Age Launches Best Practice Age & Employment Guides
Wise Age is proud to launch our best practice Age and Employment Guides.
We have drawn on 20 years experience in helping inform and educate employers of the benefits of employing older employees (50+) and the advantages that having an age diverse workforce brings to them. We hope that this guide will be used by employers themselves, as well as government decision makers and age activists, to understand and implement the best practices in age and employment that we have researched across the UK and the EU and to then understand that age diversity increases company profits, productivity and improves staff morale.
Our second guide for Unemployed Seniors draws upon our successful practice helping older workers find employment and self employment, to overcome institutional ageism and confront ageist myths. Using our research into best practice and applying the lessons learnt over the last 20 years of helping thousands of older people back to work (with a 50% success rate) we believe that this guide provides all the tips, information and motivation required for over 50s to get back into work.
You can purchase a printed copy of our brochure (p&p inc) for £5, or you can look at these guides on-line by clicking on the links below:

San Diego City College President Anthony Beebe, Vice Chancellor of Instructional Services Stephanie Bulger and SDCCD Chancellor Constance M. Carroll attend the Community College League of California's Annual Legislative Conference.
According to a popular saying "All politics is local." Occasionally, however, you need to go on the road.
Representatives from the San Diego Community College District (SDCCD), including trustees, student trustees, campus presidents, and staff traveled to Sacramento January 31-February 1 to participate in the Community College League of California's (CCLC) Annual Legislative Conference. The statewide conference is an opportunity to connect with other advocates and learn the latest news on higher education in California. SDCCD representatives also joined colleagues from the San Diego County/Imperial County regions in a series of focused meetings with members of the State Legislature.
Priority number one for the District is securing additional funding from the state to expand student access. Since voter approval of Proposition 30 in 2012, the SDCCD has added thousands of additional course sections and hired dozens of new full-time faculty to meet student demand. Beresford says our colleges enjoy strong legislative support and a reputation of being a good investment in California's future.
The District's three student trustees - Laura Benavidez (City), Igor Burgos Maron (Mesa), and Olivia Light (Miramar) - participated in the conference and legislative meetings. Beresford says having students join with trustees and administrators is particularly helpful during discussions with elected representatives. Each student trustee had opportunities to share questions and concerns from a student perspective.
At the conference itself, participants heard updates on topics such as the status of "The California Promise" financial aid campaign, the search for a new state chancellor, and what new bills are expected this session. Featured speakers at the conference included Martha Kanter, former Under Secretary of the U.S. Department of Education and Mindy Romero, Founding Director of the California Civic Engagement Project.


Apple's AirPods have been a huge success even after having a hefty price tag. The wireless earbuds are extremely easy to use and can be exclusively used with Apple products only. Continuing the tradition of keeping a closed eco-system, the AirPods are compatible with iPhones only.
No other brand has managed to even come close to the AirPods output and sales, the success even prompted Google and Samsung to come up with a pair of their own. Apple did remove the headphone jack but made sure users have a better alternative, that's obviously after ignoring the price.
Now, Xiaomi has launched the AirDots Pro. It comes with designs nearly identical to the AirPods, including a Bluetooth-friendly carrying case that doubles as a charger to keep the AirDots charged. Like Apple's earphones, AirDots offer touch controls for music, calls and activating voice assistants -- and they work with both iOS and Android.
Xiaomi actually released its original AirDots last year–but they looked nothing like Apple's AirPods. With its new AirDots Pro, that's all changed, however. Xiaomi is expected to host a press event on Jan. 11. The company will likely unveil the AirDots Pro there and provide details on availability.
The earbuds are being marketed with multiple names like the AirDots Pro, Freedom Buds Pro, as well as Mi Air. It is possible the product could have a different name depending on the market.
They can function independently of each other, and can reportedly run for up to 10 hours on a single charge. According to MySmartPrice, "The Mi Air Bluetooth earbuds utilize a 7mm neodymium driver with a titanium sound chamber for impressive audio quality. Xiaomi's latest earbuds also support the AAC codec and come with ENC noise reduction technology to suppress environmental noise."
The earbuds are lightweight at only 5.8 grams and support IPX4 water resistance. It comes with a USB Type-C charger and boasts support for AAC codec. They have Active Noise Cancellation for improved sound and call quality.
While the AirPods cost Rs 12,900 in India, the Xiaomi AirDots Pro are priced at CNY 399, that is approximately Rs 4,000. The company has launched them only in China right now, and there's no word on a local launch.

Ever Dreamed of Being a Rockstar?
Ever Dreamed of Being a Rockstar? Here's Your Chance

Even everyday people can live out their rock star dreams. Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Camp is a one-day crash course in rock 'n' roll jamming that provides amateur musicians with an opportunity to feel what it's like to be in Guns N' Roses or AC/DC.
Founded in November 1997 by tour promoter David Fishof, the goal of this camp is to provide people with a platform to achieve their rock 'n' roll fantasies.
And at Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Camp, where actual rock stars mentor each camper through some of their most famous hits, your rock 'n' roll dreams can come true.

ON THE SCENE: Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Camp
"I've always had these dreams of sitting out there on the stage and I talk to people for a living without the guitar, and my wife said you should be out there with a guitar," bond strategist and camper Alan Todd told FOX News .
Camper Craig Harold, a court clerk, said he walked in the door and didn't know what he was doing.
"I have no musical experience," he said.
Experience is not necessary and it doesn't matter what your day job is, although it's probably a good idea to have one. All amateurs are welcome, and all that's required is a love of rock 'n' roll … and $2,000 for a one-day session.
"In the first band I had in Boston, one guy played nothing, so we put him on cowbell," said Kip Winger, a musician and Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Camp counselor.
Campers even get to perform live on stage to a sold-out audience at a major rock venue.
"You get up there [and] it's win lose or draw. There's been some major train wrecks and there's been some incredible bands," Winger said.
This year, participants started rocking in Oklahoma on July 9 with actual stars such as Glenn Hughes of Deep Purple, Gilby Clarke of Guns N' Roses, Chris Slade of AC/DC and hit writer for Aerosmith and Ozzy Osbourne Mark Hudson at the Rocklahoma Festival.
"Anybody can be a rock star, it's just a matter of opening the door and saying, 'Hi, here I am,'" Hughes said in an exclusive interview with FOX News.
So for anyone who has ever wanted to be able to say "I'm with the band," Rock 'n' Roll Fantasy Camp is providing that opportunity. Rock on!

©Catch 66…
© Catch 66: A rare occurrence in a political hierarchy starting with the head of state (i.e. president) and moving down the line (next would be vice president, then speaker of the house…you get my gist), in which each individual proceeding the previous person in power poses a greater risk to the soundness, safety and well-being of that state © (This phrase was created and is copyrighted by Adelle Nazarian) ©.
Welcome to the current administration =).
The paradox – that was referenced in the "catch" part of the phrase – herein lies in the fact that regardless of whether or not the American people are happy with their choice of president, for the next three years it doesn't matter. Because a). They're out of luck and b). It only gets worse…
Yes, my friends, trouble is lurking at every corner; and in this case trouble has taken the form of a triangle…but not just any ordinary triangle. This particular triangle is composed of three elements: fuel, oxygen and heat (pick your poison). Just for today, we'll make each of the sides represent one of the top three people in office today.
Oxygen: President Barack Obama will be oxygen because for so many in the United States of America, he was and still is like a breath of fresh air. But not just any air. I'm talking about a clean-cut green, plant-laden, photosynthesis-driven, stuff your high school chemistry teacher lectured you on oxygen. "Why", you ask? Because the main factor in the process of creating fresh and clean oxygen is light. And so many in the U.S. of A saw the LIGHT in President Obama. That is why he is the oxygen in our triangle. Next we have…
FUEL: Who else would be more fitting for this side of the triangle than our very own Vice President Joe Biden. He is the fuel that helped keep President Barry's campaign goin' strong. Biden is the fuel that kept the Obama-Mobile moving as the stumping continued on and on and on, state after state — and no…it still hasn't stopped. Biden is also a strong advocate for ensuring American automakers meet certain fuel efficiency standards. I really don't think anything could be more fitting…"BIDEN THE FUEL".
And now for the HEAT: Nancy Pelosi…that fiery vixen! She is just so smokin' her guns at our representatives in Congress…watch out people! Don't cross Pelosi or she'll get the CIA on your tail then jet away in a G5 to impose more Capitol punishment…
Basically what we have here is three separate occurrences of a Catch 22, together equaling a Catch 66…Add one more 6 and I'll be damned! It's Satan's DOORBELL!! Oxygen, fuel and heat together = BOOM! EXPLOSION!
America… What's going on here is HUGE . We reported, you decided. Now it's time to see if your actions speak louder than our words.
Please Note: If you think I'm just going after the Donkey's ass, be well aware that Dumbo the Elephant is also on my radar. There's just a time and place for everything…

Young Iranians Express Hope, Fear in Aftermath of Elections
As Iran has been gripped by protest, violence and allegations of vote fraud in the wake of a contentious national elections, people around the world are watching — but perhaps none more closely than the young Iranians who helped push voter turnout to record levels.
Some of those young Iranians, in interviews with FOXNews.com, spoke openly about their hopes and fears in the wake of the President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's contested victory over reformist challenger Mir Hossein Mousavi.
"My fellow (Iranian) classmates in Turkey were crying when they found out the news," said Amir Arman, who is a 33-year-old doctoral candidate studying social psychology in Turkey.
He said he wanted Mousavi to win badly.
"Mousavi is not necessarily the best candidate. But he is the least-worst of all four candidates," Arman said, adding that one of his reasons for backing Mousavi was his fear that the world's oil reserves are running out. "If Mousavi comes to the stage, he will bring nuclear power to the scene."
Arman also is concerned about the lack of civil freedoms in Iran and poor management of the government.
Other Iranians gave different reasons for voting for Mousavi.
"If there was a 1 percent, just a 1 percent chance that I could keep Ahmadinejad's vote from coming up, that's the chance I took," said a 27-year-old woman who asked to be indentified only by her first name, Samereh, for fear of retribution.
Samereh, who moved to Shomal from Tehran for work a few months ago, compared the Iranian government to the Taliban. She said people are fed up and willing to die for their country.
Mid-conversation, the Yahoo chat function on her computer started faltering. Minutes later, her connection was lost.
"The government is taking satellites down from peoples' homes," she said. "They're everywhere."
Masoud, a 27-year-old computer engineer who is fluent in both English and Farsi, also spoke on condition that his last name not be revealed.
He currently is unemployed, which is common among today's young people in Iran, a sign of less-than-hopeful economic times. Masoud blames Ahmadinejad for this and said that while Ahmadinejad is in office Iran's "freedom, economic situation and our relation with other countries are getting worse."
Samereh and Masoud both expressed frustration with Ahmadinejad's "superstitious" mentality and how he used warnings of foreign threats as a tool to boost himself to the presidency.
"A lot of people voted for him because … they were afraid of Ahmadinejad's curse," Samereh said. "They play with peoples' senses."
All three Iranians said they are tired of the Islamic republic's current regime, in particular its mismanagement of the government and the economy.
But in an unprecedented move, Iran's 12-member Guardian Council announced it will review ballots in a partial recount after what is believed to be the largest voter turnout in Iranian history.
Not all Iranians are optimistic that the outcome will be fair.
"In these times, you can't trust anyone," Samereh said.

Oinked to Death? A Sattire
Everyone panic! But don't forget to remain calm.
Could the swine flu be the pandemic that was predicted to wipe out the human race?
Could we be witnessing the beginning of the end as we know it? (The year 2012 — said to be the apocalyptic end of the world according to the Mayan calendar — is only 2.5 years away. So maybe the swine flu is the disaster that will start it all?)
Or could we possibly, maybe, perhaps, really just be making much ado about…nothing too major?
For starters, here are some swine-a-licious flu facts and stats:
According to a World Health Organization (WHO) scientist, 30-40% of the population will become ill in the next six months if the swine flu turns into a pandemic.
Both the swine flu found in Mexico and the 1918 Spanish Flu virus are of the H1N1 subtype — the most common cause of influenza in humans. And both viruses appear to have originated in animals — hence the reference to 'swine'. Get it?.
Swine flu CANNOT be spread through consumption of pork products. But a sneeze is all you need to contract it.
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) an estimated 36,000 people in America die from the REGULAR FLU alone each year.
So far there have been 155 cases of individuals infected with the swine flu in the U.S. and one death — a 23-month-old baby boy. (The very young and elderly are more prone to getting the flu since their immune systems are usually not very strong).
# of people confirmed sickened worldwide (according to the CDC, WHO and gov't officials) — Mexico:343 / Canada: 51 / Spain: 13 /Britain: 10 / Germany: 4 / New Zealand: 4 / Israel: 2/ France: 2 / Switzerland: 1 / Austria: 1 / China: 1 / Denmark: 1 / Netherlands: 1
# of deaths worldwide: Mexico: 15 / U.S.: 1
So what are our government officials saying?
Well, when asked by Matt Lauer — co-host of MSNBC's "Today" show — what advice he'd give his family members if they plan on traveling any time in the near future, Vice President Joe Biden basically said "JUST DON'T DO IT!" He also advised against traveling in "confined spaces" like airplanes or subways where a cough or a sneeze by a person infected with swine flu could spread the illness.
Shortly after, we learned that a member of Obama's Energy Department has been showing swine flu-like symptoms just days after returning from Mexico. (EVERYONE SHUT DOWN THE U.S.-MEXICO BORDER!!!!!). And just in case you're wondering — don't worry — he hasn't been withing 6 feet of President Obama.
One word: Q-U-A-R-A-N-T-I-N-E
Everyone relax.
In a worst-case scenario — I repeat WORST-CASE SCENARIO –, we can expect to see approximately 1,700 U.S. cases of the swine flu over the next month. SO let's just say this happens until the end of the year…that leaves us with about 11,900 people infected over the next 7 months. That's STILL less than the 36,000 people who die each year of the regular flu. Plus, with all the dynamic advancements we've had in biotechnology — and word of a new vaccine coming out next month to combat the various new versions of the swine flu — most of those, hypothetically infected, people will not even die. This is nothing like what happened in 1918 or 1968. So it's probably safe to say, you're going to be OK. CLICK HERE
Follow these tips:
cover your mouth when you cough and sneeze. If someone near you DOES happen to cough or sneeze…RUN AWAY
Get on your doctor's good side (I jest)
Be grateful you live in the 21st century
And most of all…stay calm =)

Tainted Dialogue?
Could we be witnessing an unclenching of fists in the Mideast?
In his speech on Wednesday, April 15, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad stated his intention to pave the path for a new relationship with the West. His offer of a fresh start for dialogue with the United States was apparent throughout his delivery: "The Iranian nation is a generous nation. It may forget the past and start a new era."
This came just hours after the Obama administration expressed its interest to get Iran back on the negotiating table. A senior official for the Obama administration pointed out this would involve allowing Iran to continue enriching uranium at its current level; a stark departure from the former Bush administration's long-standing demand that Iran halt uranium enrichment as a condition for any talks to take place between the two adversaries. So it appears Obama's talk of no preconditions stands.
But are Ahmadinejad's statements really a step forward for U.S-Iran relations? Or do ACTIONS speak louder than words?
His words at the United Nations anti-racism conference in Geneva, Switzerland yesterday seemed all but encouraging. Yom HaShoah (יום הזיכרון לשואה ולגבורה) is Holocaust and Heroism Remembrance Day — a day when the world recalls the heinous massacring of millions of Jews and other minorities throughout European concentration camps. Yet Ahmadinejad chose to use his time on the platform at yesterday's conference to condemn Israel — a staunch U.S. ally –, citing the country as having "the most cruel and racist regime".
Not only was he publicly humiliated when a man dressed in a rainbow coloured clown wig chucked his red clown nose at Ahmadinejad after he insulted Israel, but a good number of European nation states got up and walked out mid-speech.
This criticism of Israel comes from the same man who denounced gays in his September 2007 appearance at Columbia University — "In Iran, we don't have homosexuals like in your country" — and whose country's devolving government has killed innocent civilians for practicing Christianity and other 'minority' religions; this is not to mention the countless transgressions against humanity Iran's backwards Islamic regime has committed.
Why doesn't Iran have gays? Maybe because they are either in hiding or are executed (such was the fate of Mahmoud Asgari, 14, and Ayaz Marhoni,16).
Why does Iran shed the blood of individuals whose religious beliefs differ from those outlined in Islam? Perhaps it has something to do with the possibility that the extreme Islamists running Iran truly believe they are the supreme race after which Hitler fashioned his systematic slaughter of 'lesser beings'. Superiority complex anyone?
So has recent dialogue from the Iranian president really been a show of efforts toward the advancement of U.S.-Iran relations? Or is this just a sneaky guise with which Ahmadinejad is attempting to better his own public image as he runs for a second term in office? After all, his poll numbers have been a long time slipping…
