Q: How to add Store view selector in my custom admin grid module! How can I add the Store view selector in my custom admin grid module![enter image description here][1]
I added this in my layout now its comming in my grid now to save store wise grid information in to database

Thanks in advance

A: Essentially you need to add the xml for your layout file, e.g.:
        <block type="adminhtml/store_switcher" name="store_switcher" as="store_switcher">
            <action method="setUseConfirm">
                <params>0</params>
            </action>
        </block>

Then the usual getChildHtml in template:
<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('store_switcher');?>

Without knowing the specifics of your module and layout xml it is hard to say how that works out for you in the backend. However, see this question where @Marius explains how to pick up the store id:
https://magento.stackexchange.com/a/17190/12662

A: For versions above 2.3.0
Update your layout as below. (File: MyVendor/MyModule/view/adminhtml/layout/mymodule_myproduct_grid.xml )
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
      xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <update handle="styles"/>
    <body>
        <referenceContainer name="page.main.actions">
            <block class="Magento\Backend\Block\Store\Switcher" name="adminhtml.report.grid.store_switcher" as="store_switcher">
                <arguments>
                    <argument name="use_confirm" xsi:type="string">0</argument>
                    <argument name="switch_websites" xsi:type="string">0</argument>
                    <argument name="switch_store_groups" xsi:type="string">0</argument>
                    <argument name="switch_store_views" xsi:type="string">1</argument>
                </arguments>
            </block>
        </referenceContainer>
        <referenceContainer name="content">
            <uiComponent name="my_product_listing"/>
        </referenceContainer>
    </body>
</page>

To filter products you need to change the UI component for the Bookmark.
Create a UI component class as (File: MyVendor/MyModule/Component/Bookmark.php ):
namespace MyVendor\MyModule\Component;

use Magento\Framework\View\Element\UiComponent\ContextInterface;
use Magento\Ui\Api\BookmarkManagementInterface;
use Magento\Ui\Api\BookmarkRepositoryInterface;

class Bookmark extends \Magento\Ui\Component\Bookmark
{
     public function __construct(
        ContextInterface $context,
        \MyVendor\MyModule\Api\ProfileRepositoryInterface $profile,
        BookmarkRepositoryInterface $bookmarkRepository,
        BookmarkManagementInterface $bookmarkManagement,
        array $components = [],
        array $data = []
    ) {
        parent::__construct($context, $bookmarkRepository, $bookmarkManagement, $components, $data);
        $this->profile = $profile;
    }

    /**
     * Register component
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function prepare()
    {
        $namespace = $this->getContext()->getRequestParam('namespace', $this->getContext()->getNamespace());
        $config = [];
        if (!empty($namespace)) {
            $storeId = $this->getContext()->getRequestParam('store');

            if (empty($storeId)) {
                $storeId = $this->getContext()->getFilterParam('store_id');
            }

            $bookmarks = $this->bookmarkManagement->loadByNamespace($namespace);
            /** @var \Magento\Ui\Api\Data\BookmarkInterface $bookmark */
            foreach ($bookmarks->getItems() as $bookmark) {
                if ($bookmark->isCurrent()) {
                    $config['activeIndex'] = $bookmark->getIdentifier();
                }

                $config = array_merge_recursive($config, $bookmark->getConfig());

                if (!empty($storeId)) {
                    $config['current']['filters']['applied']['store_id'] = $storeId;
                }
            }
        }

        $this->setData('config', array_replace_recursive($config, $this->getConfiguration($this)));

        parent::prepare();

        $jsConfig = $this->getConfiguration($this);
        $this->getContext()->addComponentDefinition($this->getComponentName(), $jsConfig);
    }
}

Add the Bookmark UI component in your UI grid xml (File: MyVendor/MyModule/view/adminhtml/ui_component/my_product_listing.xml ):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<listing xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:module:Magento_Ui:etc/ui_configuration.xsd">
     <listingToolbar name="listing_top">
        <argument name="data" xsi:type="array">
            <item name="config" xsi:type="array">
                <item name="sticky" xsi:type="boolean">true</item>
                <item name="template" xsi:type="string">ui/grid/toolbar</item>
            </item>
        </argument>
        <bookmark name="bookmarks" class="\MyVendor\MyModule\Component\Bookmark">
            <argument name="data" xsi:type="array">
                <item name="config" xsi:type="array">
                    <item name="component" xsi:type="string">Magento_Ui/js/grid/controls/bookmarks/bookmarks</item>
                    <item name="storageConfig" xsi:type="array">
                        <item name="saveUrl" xsi:type="url" path="mui/bookmark/save"/>
                        <item name="deleteUrl" xsi:type="url" path="mui/bookmark/delete"/>
                        <item name="namespace" xsi:type="string">my_product_listing</item>
                    </item>
                </item>
            </argument>
        </bookmark>
        <columnsControls name="columns_controls"/>
        <filters name="listing_filters" />
        <paging name="listing_paging"/>
    </listingToolbar>
</listing>

Replace: \MyVendor\MyModule and my_product_listing with your namespace.
Also there is another way of add the store selector in the grid i.e via filters same as catalog product grid.

What Is Buphthalmos?
Medically Reviewed by Dan Brennan, MD on May 18, 2021
What Causes Buphthalmos?
Other Signs of Glaucoma
How Is Glaucoma Diagnosed in a Young Child?
Impact of Buphthalmos on Your Health
Buphthalmos means that one or both eyeballs are larger than normal. Your child's doctor would typically notice the enlargement when your child was born or shortly after. Most of the time, buphthalmos is a symptom of fluid building up in the eye.
The eye of a baby or young child is extremely soft and easily changeable. This must be the case, because a healthy child's eye grows a great deal while they are in the womb and during the first few years of life. If there is a build-up of fluid in the eyeball, the pressure from the fluid can make the eye grow too large.
The high pressure can also damage the optic nerve that carries signals from the eye to the brain. This is called glaucoma. In most cases of glaucoma, there is a problem with the drainage system of the eye. Your eye is supposed to continually make fluid and then drain it away. If the fluid can't drain, pressure builds.
Glaucoma is rare in children, and some of the symptoms may be hard to spot. Along with buphthalmos, babies and toddlers with glaucoma may:
be unable to see well
be overly sensitive to light
close one or both eyes when in bright light
have eyes that look cloudy
have one eye that is bigger than the other
have excess tearing (watery eyes) without discharge such as mucus or pus
be fussy and uncomfortable
have a poor appetite
Children with buphthalmos are usually too young to cooperate with an eye exam. The doctor will probably give your child anesthesia (medicine to put them to sleep so they can't feel the exam).
Within the first few minutes they are asleep, the doctor tests the pressure level in each eye. They will look carefully at each part of the eye, taking measurements and looking for signs of glaucoma such as cloudiness or breaks in the cornea (the clear cover on the front of the eye).
The doctor will check the drainage system of the eyes to find out if there's a blockage or problem with the way the drainage canals developed. They will test to see if there has been any damage to the optic nerve yet. They can also check for vision problems that can be helped with glasses.
The goal of glaucoma treatment is to lower the pressure to keep it from causing any more damage to the optic nerve. In babies and toddlers with glaucoma, this usually means surgery. It is important to treat glaucoma quickly to preserve as much vision as possible.
If surgery cannot be done right away, there are medicines that can help clear the eye and lessen the pressure before the surgery. These are almost always in the form of eyedrops. Sometimes children with glaucoma have to keep using prescription eyedrops, even after surgery.
The three types of eyedrops that may be prescribed for your child are beta-blockers, carbonic anhydrase inhibitors, and prostaglandin analogs.
Beta-blockers. These eyedrops reduce the amount of fluid the eye makes. The less fluid, the lower the pressure in the eye.
Carbonic anhydrase inhibitors. These medications also help decrease the amount of fluid made in the eye. They come in eyedrops or can be taken by mouth.
Prostaglandin analogs. These eyedrops increase the amount of fluid that drains out of your child's eye. This is another way to lower the pressure in the eye.
There are several surgeries that can help fluid drain from the eye. These include:
Goniotomy. The surgeon makes openings in the tiny canals that drain the eye. This clears a path for the fluid to drain like it's supposed to.
Drainage shunts. The surgeon places tiny tubes in the eye or eyes to drain away extra fluid.
Trabeculectomy. This is sometimes known as filtering surgery or micro surgery. The doctor uses surgical tools to make an opening in the white of the eye. They remove a small amount of tissue to create a path for fluid to drain from the eye to a place where the body can absorb it.
Laser surgery. The doctor uses a powerful beam of light to clear any clogs in the canals that drain the eye.
Even with surgery and medicine, your child may eventually need glasses for myopia (nearsightedness). Some children with glaucoma also develop amblyopia (a lazy eye) or strabismus (crossed eyes). They may later need treatments like vision therapy, surgery, or patching (covering or putting eyedrops in the stronger eye to strengthen the weaker eye).

This is my twelth year living with MS and I am managing my life well. I have my eye on self-actualisation by maintaining balance. God comes first, then family and friends.

Cotham's Mercantile in Scott burned down early Tuesday, leaving only a few brick pillars standing. The building opened as a general store in 1917. Its trademark hubcap burger will still be available at Cotham's in the City on West Third Street near the state Capitol.
In case you missed it earlier this week, the legendary Cotham's Mercantile, 5301 Arkansas 161 S., Scott, burned down early Tuesday and the building with its contents -- a decades-old collection of antiques and memorabilia -- is apparently a total loss, Arkansas Online reports. The structure caved in and only charred brick pillars remained along the perimeter by 7 a.m. As of our Tuesday morning deadline, the cause of the fire was still unknown. Built in 1917 as a general store for area farmers, Cotham's opened a small eating area inside the store in 1984 and it blossomed into a regional restaurant powerhouse centered on a hubcap-size burger, becoming a regular haunt for the regular folks and the famous. You can still chow down on hubcap burgers and the rest of the menu at Cotham's in the City, West Third and Victory streets, Little Rock, in the shadow of the state Capitol.
Captain Hook's Fish & Chicken (or possibly Captain Hooks Fish & Chicken) is going into the former Dunkin Donuts-Baskin Robbins hybrid, 6725 John F. Kennedy Blvd., North Little Rock, next to Indian Hills Shopping Center. One Mohammed Yafai of North Little Rock filed incorporation papers last year with the state Secretary of State's office and has taken out a trademark with the federal government. And a call to a Stuttgart restaurant of pretty much the same name, 107 E. 22nd St., reveals that Yafai is a business partner of that restaurant's owner-manager. Yafai did not return a message left for him by our deadline, so we don't have any additional details, but a check of the Stuttgart restaurant's Facebook page, facebook.com/CaptainHooksStuttgart, could give you an idea of what the menu will look like.
Hawgz Blues Cafe, in the former Aydelotte's/U.S. Pizza mansion, 5524 John F. Kennedy Blvd., North Little Rock, has its liquor license and is now serving alcohol and its full menu slightly ahead of schedule (they were previously saying it would be in place June 17). Hours are 11 a.m.-9 p.m. Sunday (with a Gospel Brunch and Soul Food Buffet until 3 p.m.), 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 11 a.m.-2 a.m. Friday, 11 a.m.-1 a.m. Saturday. The phone number is (501) 478-6300.
Banana Leaf Indian Cuisine in the Simmons Bank Building, 425 W. Capitol Ave. at Broadway, Little Rock, is closed for vacation and will reopen July 10. The phone number: (501) 227-0860.
Meanwhile, Bruno's Little Italy, 310 Main St., will close for dinner Saturday because ... Riverfest.
The West Chase Plaza shopping center, 301 N. Shackleford Road, Little Rock, has changed hands, sold by Westchase Investors LLC, for $4.5 million to Markham and Shackleford LLC. John Flake, agent for the sellers, and Hank Kelley, agent for the buyers, are partners in Flake & Kelley Commercial Real Estate in Little Rock and, Flake explains, it's essentially a remake of the original partnership that started the center with different investors. Why do we mention it in this column? Because the center houses several restaurants, including Star of India, Bobby's Country Cookin' and west Little Rock outlets of Jason's Deli and Slim Chickens.
And Talk Business & Politics reports that Little Rock food delivery service Chef Shuttle has been acquired by Minneapolis-based Bite Squad for an undisclosed amount of money. Since its start in February 2014, Chef Shuttle has blossomed and now has a staff and driver pool of 250 and delivers dishes from 450 restaurants in the central Arkansas, Northwest Arkansas and Memphis areas. The closest market Bite Squad served heretofore has been Nashville, Tenn. A spokesman says you'll soon start seeing its green and white cars "rolling around town" and its drivers wearing Bite Squad uniforms. The $2.99 delivery fee at least initially will be lower than Chef Shuttle's, the TB&P website notes. You'll be able to place orders via Android and iOS apps; Bite Squad sends orders directly to each restaurant's kitchen through tablets. A Chef Shuttle spokesman did not return our request for comment by deadline.

Kościół św. Saturnina w Rzymie (wł. Chiesa di San Saturnino) – rzymskokatolicki kościół tytularny w Rzymie.

Świątynia ta jest kościołem parafialnym oraz kościołem tytularnym.

Lokalizacja
Kościół znajduje się w XVII. dzielnicy Rzymu – Trieste (Q XVII) przy Via Avigliana 3. Główne wejście znajduje się na Piazza San Saturnino.

Patron
Patronem świątyni jest św. Saturnin – męczennik za wiarę chrześcijańską z III lub IV wieku.

Historia
Decyzję o powstaniu kościoła św. Saturnina wydał papież Pius XI. Kościół został zbudowany przez architekta Klemensa Busiri Vici w latach 1935-1940. 1 stycznia 1935 dekretem kard. Francesco Marchetti Selvaggianiego wikariusza generalnego diecezji rzymskiej powstała parafia pw. św. Saturnina. 6 stycznia 1935 kościół został konsekrowany.

29 listopada 1987 do kościoła przeniesiono relikwie św. Saturnina.

Parafia św. Saturnina dwukrotnie gościła papieży – w 1968 Pawła VI i w 1989 Jana Pawła II.

Architektura i sztuka
W zewnętrznej fasadzie budynku znajduje się nisza, w której zlokalizowane jest wejście otoczone trawertynem i prostokątne okno podzielone na krzyż. Nad niszą umiejscowiony jest herb Piusa XI.

Wnętrze jest bardzo proste. Kościół posiada jedną nawę i cztery boczne kaplice. Za ołtarzem głównym znajduje się duża płaskorzeźba przedstawiająca scenę ścięcia św. Saturnina przez rzymskiego żołnierza z aniołem trzymającym palmę męczeństwa. Za ołtarzem są również organy. Pod ołtarzem można zobaczyć marmurową urnę z relikwiami św. Saturnina.

Kardynałowie prezbiterzy
Kościół św. Saturnina w Rzymie jest jednym z kościołów tytularnych nadawanych kardynałom-prezbiterom (Titulus Sancti Saturnini). Tytuł ten ustanowił papież Jan Paweł II w dniu 21 października 2003.

EPA Adds Saint-Gobain Site to Federal Superfund Clean-Up List
The United States Environmental Protection Agency announced in a news release this week that it has added the Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics site in the Village of Hoosick Falls to the Federal Superfund National Priorities List, which includes the nation's most hazardous waste sites.
The agency's decision will allow federal resources to be used to clean areas of Hoosick Falls that have been contaminated with PFOA and ensure that the health of village residents is protected.
The EPA's designation will also allow the federal government to seek reimbursement from the companies that are responsible for the village's contamination.
New York State Senator Charles Schumer stated, "I am glad that EPA has heeded our call to add this site to the Superfund list because it gives the EPA leverage to make the polluters pay and to set a protocol for investigation and clean-up."
Since PFOA contamination was discovered in Hoosick Falls, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and Department of Health, along with the EPA, have taken several steps to address the issue:
In January 2016, the NYSDEC added the Saint-Gobain site to New York State's Superfund list and requested that the EPA include the site on EPA's federal Superfund list.
In April and May 2016, the EPA installed monitoring wells to sample groundwater at and around the Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics facility (McCaffrey Street facility) and sampled the Village water supply wells. The EPA also collected soil samples from the McCaffrey Street facility, Village ballfields and recreational areas.
In June 2016, the NYSDEC entered into a legal agreement with Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics Corporation and Honeywell International Inc. and initiated a study of the nature and extent of contamination at the site.
In September 2016, the EPA proposed adding the Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics site to the federal Superfund list.
Faraci Lange attorneys, Stephen Schwarz and Hadley Matarazzo, are representing residents of Hoosick Falls in a lawsuit against Saint-Gobain and Honeywell International for the PFOA contamination their manufacturing plants caused.
"To the extent that it makes more resources available to the community to address the problem, we're happy to see that happen, Hadley stated to the New York Law Journal.

As you can see, there are two rows of bikes and I, like most people face the bike outwards which makes riding out a doddle, assuming that is, you can stand the bike up. Anyway, over the years lots of different people have backed their bikes/scooters into the Zx7r, which bends my numberplate back on its tail tidy. Anyway, today, the tail tidy snapped down the middle and my plate was left hanging only by the wires that connect my rear indicators. One kind van driver even got out of his van to tell me this in queues on the A40. Thanks for that dude, I wish there were more people like you on the road. Anyway, I have two options, aside from buying a new tail tidy and they are to bodge something together or to make a replacement. I quite like the second option as I just need a small piece of metal, a saw, a file, a pin hammer and a drill. Should keep me busy this weekend now that the snow is coming.

'20 in 20′ half marathons for company boss Chris
Posted by Business News North East Team | Feb 28, 2020 | County Durham
Company boss Chris Breward has announced ambitious plans of a different sort for 2020 – he is aiming to run 20 half marathons between now and the end of the year.
Chris, 41, who heads up financial advice company Wealth of Advice, has set himself the tough challenge, which kicked off yesterday (Sunday) with the Disney Princess Half Marathon in Orlando, Florida.
The '20 in 20' challenge is in aid of charity Bringing Back a Smile, which is the Durham-based firm's flagship charity, having recently agreed a long-term sponsorship.
To support his efforts, Chis has set up a JustGiving page, https://justgiving.com/fundraising/woa-2020, which attracted hundreds of pounds in donations in the first 24 hours of going live.
Chris, who is from Peterlee and lives in Trimdon, said: "For some crazy reason I thought it was a good idea to set myself the challenge of running 20 half marathons in 2020. I've done my fair share of long-distance runs in the past but never as many of this so it's gonna be interesting.
"I'm hoping it'll be a win win though – I'll get fitter and slimmer while at the same time raise money for a fantastic charity that makes a massive difference to so many children, adults and families who are affected by serious or terminal illness."
Chris and Wealth of Advice are aiming to raise as much money as possible to help Bishop Auckland-based Bringing Back a Smile, which was set up by Kevin Hill in 2017, purchase a caravan at Primrose Valley, which can be used all year round by families who want and need a welcome break from the gruelling treatments which are often needed.
The company's sponsorship has given the efforts a good start but the caravan will cost around £30,000 to buy so the challenge is to raise as much as possible towards that over the next 12 months.
Chris added: "My company felt so passionately about the work being done by Kevin and the team – they're doing such an amazing job in helping people who are undergoing treatment for conditions including cancer and leukaemia and really do make a difference to so many lives."
"Fingers crossed my '20 in 20' challenge, along with the general fundraising Wealth of Advice is undertaking, will go a long way towards us hitting our target of £30,000 by the end of the year."
Kevin Hill said: "We rely entirely on the generosity of companies and people who are prepared to dig deep to support us, so our partnership with Wealth of Advice means so much.
"Working with Chris and the team, hopefully over the next 12 months we can make inroads into our efforts to raise enough money to purchase the caravan we've seen at Primrose Valley. That would mean so much to the many families, children and adults across the North East who we support, offering them a peaceful retreat where they can go to enjoy some quality time in between gruelling treatments."

Many of us have picked up and played an instrument at some point in our lives. Maybe it was piano lessons in elementary school or the violin for a few years as a teen. But what about playing a djembe from West Africa? Or a concertina from Germany?
Last month MIM opened the Encore Gallery, a new space that allows guests to interact with instruments like these as well as others from all over the world, to school and youth tours. The gallery was designed with young children in mind to offer developmentally appropriate activities for early childhood learning.
Besides offering musical instruments to play, the space features many other important aspects for children including natural light, object labels mounted lower to read, open space, and materials for dramatic play such as scarves.
In 2016, we experienced a significant increase in school and youth tours, with 58,000 participants visiting MIM. Our goal is to reach 100,000 participants by 2020 and the Encore Gallery will help facilitate that growing number by offering additional space for children and teachers to discover music through hands-on activities.
The Encore Gallery, built with the help of a $150,000 grant from Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust, is next to the Experience Gallery, another interactive space where guests can play global instruments. While the Encore Gallery is currently dedicated to prekindergarten–2nd grade school tours, it may also be opened to the public on busy days and for special events.

"The word and even the signature of the Americans cannot be relied upon, so negotiations with America are of no avail," Khamenei said in a meeting with Foreign Ministry officials, adding that negotiations with Washington would be an "obvious mistake", according to his official website.

Protests rock Cameroon
March 1, 2008 CounterVortex
Three were killed by security forces in Cameroon Feb. 28 as anti-government protests broke out in the western towns of Bamenda and Bafang. Up to 20 are believed dead in unrest earlier in the week in the western region and the capital, Yaoundé. The street clashes began with protests against rising fuel prices and President Paul Biya's plan to change the constitution to extend his term in office. Biya has been in office 26 years. (NYT, The Nation, Kenya, Feb. 29)
As the communications minister called on newspapers to be "responsible," the unrest has left the privately-owned press silenced. Security forces raided the studios of Magic FM radio, seizing equipment and forcing it to close. The raid came during a call-in program critical of the president. It was the third private broadcaster ordered closed by the government this week. Much of the privately-owned printed press has been prevented from appearing, and only state media are still being distributed.

This article is in three parts, and the second part will be published tomorrow.
It was a cold, clear night in Bradford when I first heard DJ Tiesto's remix of Adagio for Strings by Barber. And I kinda hated it for bastardising what I considered to be a truly epic game soundtrack. Then I went and listened to it again a few days later and got obsessed. Since then I have listened to it hundreds of times and it just doesn't get old.
I hate Travis' Why Does It Always Rain On Me sufficiently that I refused to listen to it when trying to find a Youtube recording. Apologies therefore, if you get rickrolled. Setting aside the fact that the lyrics are nonsensical and the lead singer couldn't sound more bored if he tried, the last sentence of the chorus missing off the final "me" drives me in a mental open loop of absolute craziness every time. JUST SAY ME.
Yay, it's a really nice happy song about how much the singer loves his family. Yay.
Martina McBride has a very beautiful voice, and some powerful lyrics to an equally powerful video about domestic violence and child abuse. It makes me miserable every time I watch though, so I try not to do it very often.
Sam O'Connor. 2009. Vodka. Nuff said.
In October 2006, I was sitting in my step-dad's car waiting to go to my admissions interview at the University of Cambridge. An extremely bad quality rendition of Fallout Boy's This Ain't a Scene crackled down the radio, but I got the point. Unfortunately I couldn't explain the motivations behind 19th century spiritual movements adequately, and I ended up at the University of Manchester instead. But I got a great song and a hell of a life of activism instead of studying, so I guess it worked out.
I cannot go into detail about what event made the Lloyds TSB Dubstep Remix significant to me, though you may be able to guess from the genre, but suffice to say it was a very odd evening. Definitely at its best played at 5am with bass speakers in student halls though.
Dating back to the days when I was obsessed with Bowling for Soup and they hadn't deteriorated after A Hangover You Don't Deserve, Girl All the Bad Guys Want is (along with the Gas Man Cometh by Flanders and Swann) the only track that I can remember the entire lyrics, tune, and musical breaks to.
Tune in tomorrow for songs 11-20.
And now I have that clip stuck in my head.


We apologize for the absolute dearth of recent posts. Things have changed a lot since Pampanga Representative Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo was arrested for electoral sabotage: a Supreme Court Chief Justice that she appointed has been impeached, her former Elections chief has also been arrested, and her Butcher of Mindanao ex-general is on the lam. This, alongside the Aquino administration seemingly unsure of whether to be decisive or bumbling.
We have always tried to have an opinion on things, but recent events (the impeachment, Sendong, losing at the Philippine Blog Awards yet again, Christmas) have us rethinking paradigms and stroking our napes from high blood pressure, and taking naps.
If nothing else, we have seen the Philippines mature politically. Although, sometimes, that maturity strays into senility. Take our rage at the "railroading" of the impeachment complaint against Chief Justice Renato Corona, for example. We were alarmed at the speed of the thing, from a House majority caucus to a complaint signed by an overwhelming majority of congressmen, to actual impeachment faster than it takes some lawmakers to wrap up their privileged speeches.
"Martial Law!," so many of us cried.
Never mind, as it turns out, that impeachment is a power given to the House of Representatives, and that the so-called railroading is enshrined in the Constitution. In the words of Bro. Eli Soriano, "Magbasa muna kayo." Not to the point that you can quote the Constitution to answer whether man and dinosaur co-existed or anything like that, just enough to know what you claim to be defending against tyranny, I guess.
Diaz said Lim also partly pulled down his underwear while seated in the front row facing them. She said the mayor violently reacted after she prevented him from going to the lavatory while the "fasten your seat belt" light was on.
" You want me to pee here?" Lim reportedly asked Diaz.
To avoid trouble, the pilot, Capt. Ronaldo Ramos, who was informed of the commotion, allowed Lim to use the lavatory.
"It was a shocking, traumatic experience we had," Diaz said.
Diaz said she was embarrassed by the incident and cried in front of the passengers. She was even more shocked after learning that the "exhibitionist" is a city mayor.
Anyway, we have been talking about a new direction for Indolent Indio since this whole political commentary thing hasn't really blown up as much as we hoped. We'll still be doing commentary but will be branching out to other topics as well. Food blogging maybe, or movie reviews, or vague and self-righteous regional pride that can get pretty goddamned annoying. Watch this space.
Here's an old clip from Sidetracked, a segment on TV5's The Evening News (TEN), that mentioned Indolent Indio alongside actual A-listers like future Assistant Secretary Manuel Quezon III and journalist Ding Gagelonia (who has since passed). We were the youngest and least-known and the only website still blogging. MLQ3 still blogs but he is also a government official, so…we are half right.
TEN, not a blog, has also stopped airing.
I guess we have trouble moving on and stuff.
The Senate hearing this week on P660 million in loans that the Development Bank of the Philippines granted businessman Roberto Ongpin was a doozy.
The ABS-CBN News Channel broadcast the hearings live for a while but gave up when viewers began zoning out during the discussion on behest loans and stocks and banking principles that lasted for hours.
Even the news websites, usually on fire with breaking news whenever the Senate holds hearings, were oddly silent.
Reporters and editors either found the story too boring or too confusing for blow-by-blow accounts.
Behind the scenes, though, things were slightly more exciting. Two independent sources told Indolent Indio that a reporter not usually assigned to the Senate was there for the hearing.
The reporter was not there to cover the hearing. He was there to make sure it was covered right. And by right, we mean, the way the reporter's principal wanted it covered.
The reporter is said to have gone the rounds of the Senate press office to offer his colleagues money in exchange for making it look like Ongpin engaged in insider trading and in bypassing the DBP's rules on loan applications.
We do not know if Ongpin, former President Ferdinand Marcos's old crony and trusted adviser, was shown preferential treatment by the DBP through loans that were processed and released within two weeks after they were filed.
We do know that somebody wants the public to think so.
The reporter, our sources say, is from a broadsheet with an office in the port area. Hypocritically (but not ironically), he usually files stories from a government branch charged with being fair and impartial.
We're not ones to judge, but reporting and PR work should not go hand in hand.
Granted, Ongpin got rich by pandering to Marcos while he was trade secretary of the Marcos and Pals Club, but nailing him with unproven allegations is no way to bring him before the bar of justice. Which, incidentally, is where Rascally Reporter can usually be found.
This online editor better start thinking real quick and stop clicking Like buttons on Facebook.
Two staff members are about to hit send buttons on emails indicating their resignations.
This after only working six months or so for the news website that he supposedly heads.
What could be wrong in the office? Is it because the editor-in-chief is an award-winning journalist and is always willing to tell everyone about it? Or is it because the boss doesn't make any mistakes at all, despite questionable news judgment?
No one knows. And apparently, no one cares, not even the top brass.
As a result, more than 40 or so employees have resigned in the past two years–a figure enough to fill up the current staff.
Exodus! Movement of Jah people!
Among those who left are two who have defected to another network, one who turned NGO, and one assistant who supposedly ran away with money. How much? Again, no one knows.
But one thing is clear: the company certainly wrote 30–or is it 20?–to that.
Hey, guys! We've fixed the commenting system. It was working too well and therefore was not working at all. Things are fine now, though. The weather is great, too.
The daring dawn raid we hinted at in the last post was not as daring as advertised.
The Bureau of Customs raided Tondo Friday morning and seized 60 bags of onions smuggled in from China.
At 10 pounds per bag, that comes to 600 pounds and a market value of around P17,680.
Sa presinto ka na magpaliwanag!
Consider yourself schooled, Chinese onion smugglers.
According to our baby mouse, a senator sent a media advisory today telling Senate media that a certain government agency will be conducting a raid on some people somewhere in just a few hours.
The actual advisory was, of course, not that vague. The senator who sent it was actually pretty helpful with the details, even providing a number people in the media can call to coordinate where to meet, what to wear, what the secret password is, etc.
Which is all very good for reporters looking for some action, but not so much for Philippine law enforcement. If this website was able to get the details of the raid without even trying, it's a sure bet the criminals who are supposed to get raided know about it too.

Re-imagining AHRQ's Insight Platform
AHRQ Views: Blog posts from AHRQ leaders
Gopal Khanna, M.B.A., and
Joel Cohen, Ph.D.
As COVID-19 has continued its unrelenting advance across the Nation, urgent questions have confronted an often overwhelmed healthcare system: How many hospital beds are available in different locations around the country? How many are currently occupied? What is the capacity of hospitals to provide intensive care unit (ICU) and ventilator care? What is the capacity of physician offices to provide telehealth services? What would be the financial impact of increased telehealth and fewer in-person visits on physician practices' ability to remain open? And many more! Unfortunately, answers to many of these questions have not been available, even though the need for the information is acute.
Gopal Khanna, M.B.A.
In an AHRQ Views blog post last year, we talked about how AHRQ is using data and analytics to help policymakers and the public better understand today's critical healthcare issues. We return to this issue today to provide an update on how the Agency is using its data assets to enhance and expand its analytic capabilities into an "AHRQ insight platform"—a resource responsive to the needs of policymakers, healthcare systems and analysts, researchers, payers, and clinicians. By platform we mean AHRQ's publicly available data and analytic tools, supported by the Agency's information technology infrastructure and in-house industry experts, who are able to provide information and obtain evidence-based answers to questions about the healthcare system.
Over the past year AHRQ has directed its data collection and analytic expansion efforts at building on its unique base of data-related resources, notably HCUP and the MEPS. Our goal has been to expand the Agency's data and analytic capacity to fill critical gaps in the Federal government's data inventory.
Significant gaps persist in the availability of data to guide healthcare decision-making. To continue addressing those needs, we have focused our efforts on three areas in which current shortages of available information are preventing the development of analytic databases to address critical issues in today's healthcare environment.
In particular, we concluded more data are needed about:
Comprehensive medical claims.
Physician supply data.
Social determinants of health.
By recognizing the needs of our customers going forward, our vision was clear. We sought to build on our current platform to provide unique new databases, ensure adequate data access (both within and outside the Federal government), enhance AHRQ's reservoir of analytic tools, integrate innovative and novel data into our existing data streams, and develop rapid-cycle healthcare industry research capabilities. In addition, these AHRQ databases will augment the surveillance data being collected elsewhere in the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to enhance our ability to respond to crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
To make detailed medical claims data more widely available for research, the issue of confidentiality posed a significant deterrent. That is, data with enough detail for analyses of the use and costs of specific treatments contain a very high risk of providing enough information to identify individuals.
To overcome this risk, AHRQ initiated a project to produce what is called a "synthetic database"—a resource that contains all the detail of claims data and comprehensive information on patients' socioeconomic and demographic characteristics, but at the same time perturbs the information in a way that prevents connecting the data to individuals. In this way, analyses that require detailed information on care, as well as on individuals, can be done with little to no risk of identifying a specific person. The beta version of this database, which includes information from both public and private insurance claims sources, is expected to be completed by the end of 2020. It will be the first of its kind implemented by HHS and in the healthcare marketplace.
Our second initiative is focused on overcoming the tremendous obstacles to understanding the supply side of the healthcare market. While we do have some information on hospitals—from HCUP, the American Hospital Association, and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services—we do not have very good information about other types of providers, perhaps most importantly, physicians and their practices.
Our activities in this area involve collecting structural and financial characteristics data on physicians and physician practices for a selected set of States. This effort builds on our experience with HCUP in partnering with State organizations to collect detailed State-level hospital billing data, and harmonizing those data to produce consistent, high quality, comprehensive analytic files. This effort will be particularly helpful in responding to unexpected crises like the COVID-19 pandemic, where immediate information on provider capacities in specific locations and financial data for affected providers are critical to emergency preparedness and response. Enhancing AHRQ's prospective and predictive analytics capabilities to better address crises like the COIVID-19 pandemic are key elements of our 5 year strategic plan.
The third AHRQ initiative involves the creation of a consistent, well-documented social determinants of health (SDOH) database. This effort is intended to create a publicly available, easily linkable SDOH-focused database for research to inform addressing emerging health issues and, ultimately, help to improve health outcomes.
Variables in this SDOH database correspond to five key domains: social context (e.g., age, race/ethnicity, veteran status); economic context (e.g., income, unemployment rate); education; physical infrastructure (e.g., housing, crime, transportation); and healthcare context (e.g., health insurance). The files are designed for linking to any external analytic database by county and zip code. We expect the beta version of the SDOH database to be available by the end of this year.
Building a 21st Century Healthcare System
These three data initiatives align with AHRQ's efforts to create a comprehensive AHRQ Insights Platform, one that can provide a deeper, real-time understanding of today's pressing healthcare challenges. Such a resource is fundamental to a true 21st century healthcare system, one that can respond not only to a pandemic such as COVID-19, but to a wide range of public health emergencies.
Moving forward with additional resources, we will build on these pilot projects to leverage additional expansion opportunities, continue to improve the quality and utility of our data and research, and ensure our commitment to AHRQ's customers. It is these stakeholders—healthcare analysts, researchers, payers, clinicians, and policymakers at the Federal, State and local levels—who require answers to the pressing questions in today's rapidly changing healthcare ecosystem. Meeting these needs has become an imperative as we seek to deliver 21st century care to the American people.
Gopal Khanna is director of AHRQ. Joel Cohen is director of the Agency's Center for Financing, Access and Cost Trends.

5:31 PM | January 21, 2020 SC hears case on PIA CEO appointment
Removing subsidies
IN the next financial year, 2010-11, subsidies on fuel will be cut further, from the present Rs 147 billion (in the current 2009-10) to Rs 74 billion, as part of a move to cut subsidies given on essential commodities, mostly food and fuel by 46 percent. This decision will mean that the consumer, already very hard pressed by inflation, will be further hit hard as the effects reach the marketplace. The government is doing this to be able to meet IMF targets, about which it is more concerned than the welfare of the ordinary citizen. The government should realise that the IMF does not care about the suffering of the ordinary man, but the government is supposed to, especially when it is possible to see an escape route. This was proffered by Dr Samar Mubarikmand, Planning Commission Member (Science and Technology), who told the Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry that coal from Thar had the potential to supply 50,000MW of electricity for the next 800 years. He also said that in 15 to 18 months a unit producing 100 MW would be set up, and after that a plant generating 500 MW to 1000 MW would be set up. The government should look to reduce the price of electricity by engaging in more such initiatives. However, it should give more thought to the transitional phase, and make sure that it knows for how long it will pay the expenses of development. Thar coal, for example, is receding steadily into the future as a source of energy, the closer it comes to being exploited. While such truly innovative projects may lie in the future, less innovative projects, using tried and tested technology, such as the Kalabagh Dam project, for which the feasibility reports are all favourable, should be implemented to tide over the gap. Dr Mubarikmand said that he was aiming to produce a team of engineers and scientists that would take Pakistan to new heights. He also said that Pakistans focus was on locally producing turbines and generators, which made up 75 percent of the cost of a power plant. Dr Mubarikmands expertise in power engineering and in its application to Thar coal notwithstanding, it must be kept in mind that he won fame in nuclear weapons and missile technology. Since India continues to be a threat, which is why the technology was developed in the first place, he must not neglect this aspect while working on the latest crisis to face Pakistan. The government is responsible to ensure that the nations energy needs are met through a clear policy that keeps in view the ground realities of the time. While using the best scientific and technological talents available, it must also not lose sight of the defence of the country.
