The first look. Not everyone does them, but we love every first look that we film! Andrea & Nic's was no exception. I think it's the emotions that come forth more freely than maybe a more public setting. With Andrea wiping away a tear and Nic's adoring eyes fixed on his bride, it was a sweet moment to share. From there we went to the ceremony held right at the Hilton. It was a stunningly decorated and lit. After Andrea and Nic made their vows we headed out to the Akron Zoo where, despite the serious heat, we had a great time posing the couple and bridal party alongside their wonderful photographers, Nathan and Amanda Ross. It was there that we saw their love of Pokemon arise again as they worked to catch some Pokemon right there at the zoo! We returned to the Hilton to celebrate at their reception. While all of the toasts were great, Nic's brother gave a particularly touching and emotional toast to the bride and groom. The rest of the night was full of lots of laughter and dancing. Blessings on both of you, Andrea and Nic! Here's to many years of joyful marriage!

Dazzling autumn beauty are the three words to describe Danielle and Rob's wedding day. After a tearful first look for Danielle's dad at the hotel, we were off to St. Paschal Baylon church in Highland Heights. The pews in the church faced a full-glass wall with a stunning cross and lovely trees. Our favorite moment of the ceremony was the emotion of both Danielle and Rob as Danielle and her dad came down the aisle. Rob's tears and gentle smile were a delight to see. Accompanied by beautiful worship and a lovely ceremony, Rob and Danielle became Mr. and Mrs. Strickland. Then we headed to the festive Patterson's Fruit Farm where we were able to get some of the most stunning nature shots of our wedding season! Tall grasses, rows of apple trees, and autumn colors were in abundance as the couple and the wedding party took turns posing and moving for us happy photographers and videographers! We also want to say we had so much fun meeting and working alongside the talented husband and wife duo from Suzaran Photography! The reception started off with a series of three choreographed dances, first with Danielle and Rob, then for Danielle and her dad, and finally one seriously peppy jitterbug for Rob and his mom. A sweet surprise was when Rob's uncle read from a long lost family diary and then gave it to Rob. The most stunning moment of all came when we were able to film the couple in silhouette backed by one of the most gorgeous wedding day sunsets we had the chance to see this fall. Great blessings to you both, Danielle and Rob!

Kurt had the privilege of having Jared as a high school student many years ago, and we both had the honor of seeing this young man of character marry the woman of his dreams. The maturity and depth of these two was on evidence at the particularly meaningful wedding ceremony they planned. To begin with they started off the ceremony with Jared, his brother, his mom taking a moment to light a candle in honor of and in memory of his late father. Then the ceremony was bathed in prayer, heart provoking worship, and constant reminders of the One in whom they place their faith. Most beautiful of all was the beauty of the tears they shed for one another. Jared truly melted when his bride came down the aisle. After the ceremony we headed to Cleveland Metroparks for some photo and video shoots in the utterly vibrant autumn leaves. Then we headed to the Lakewood Country Club where the night was serenaded by The Sunrise Jones band. They were simply a blast! The band members were a ton of fun and they played songs as if straight from the originals and sometimes even better! We were also delighted to find all three formal dances, Taylor and Jared's first dance, the father daughter dance, and the mother son dance, all choreographed! The evening ended with a bang as the guests cheered the new couple on their way out with more sparklers than I've ever seen in one place! May you be richly blessed, Taylor and Jared!

It was a joy to share in Katherine and David's wedding day. Katherine was once one of Kurt's students and we have also been so kindly loved by her and her family over many years. Their family is a wellspring of love for people and love for a Heavenly Father that radiates far beyond the walls of their home. Our day began at the Konstan home where, surrounded by all her sweet bridesmaids, Katherine got ready. From there we traveled to the stunning and rustic Irongate Equestrian Center. Formerly used as a horse show auditorium, the space has been converted for weddings. The fun part is that there are still many horses stabled elsewhere in the building. One of our favorite moments happened when Katherine's dad Rob got to see her in her dress for the first time. So many tears were shed. Then it was David's turn. On a gravel road nestled amongst trees and horses grazing in pasture, Katherine walked up behind David and he turned to see his stunning bride. She shared a note with him and then he…gave her a book, a notebook in which he had written her a note every single day while he was miles away in Texas. Katherine broke down. The love they shared was palpable to all around.
And the day had just begun! From there they shared their vows before their guests and their Lord underneath the shade of the trees with sun shining from a gorgeous September sky. After fun photo and video shoots on the grounds we headed into the Equestrian Center for the fun! The fun included homemade Greek pastries, Greek dancing, great food, and laughter. Finally, Katherine and David left in a tunnel of sparklers and off they went to their new life together. Blessings to both of you, Katherine and David!

What a stunning day greeted us for Tanina and Cory's wedding. That combined with Tanina's graciousness and Cory's humor made for a wonderful day. We started out at Koi Salon in Canton and had the chance to meet Tanina's fun and sweet bridesmaids and sisters. From there we headed to Tanina's aunt and uncle's lovely home at the Glenmoor Country Club where the ceremony was in their panoramic backyard which overlooks the rolling hills of the golf course. We had a ball working with Cory and Tanina getting some stunning shots of them and their bridal party. Our favorite time was shooting film at an enormous willow tree. That's also where we suggested that Cory try dipping Tanina. Our good friend John Uptmor of Imagine It Photography hilariously and accurately demonstrated the technique by demonstrating with my wife Beth! And, by golly, Cory got it! Look for that great dip later in the wedding film. We ended the day at La Pizzeria where we enjoyed celebrating the newly married couple! Blessings on both of you, Tanina and Cory!

When we met Camden and Mark we knew we would have fun with them on their wedding day. They are such a fun, sweet couple and their wedding party was the same. At the lovely Barrington Golf Club in Aurora, Ohio, we met all of Camden's bridesmaids. They were a riot! Fun, beautiful, and full of energy, they made all the getting-ready time a blast. Our favorite early moment was filming Camden coming out in her wedding dress for her bridesmaids to see for the first time. The looks on their faces were priceless! On an interesting note, the lovely bridesmaids' dresses were picked out by Mark!
The reception, after dinner, was also outdoors on a wonderful evening. Our favorite shots of the whole day were at sunset. We don't often get the chance to get a couple outside when the light is so perfect, but this time it worked! The soft light reflected off the lake onto them as we captured some romantic moments of Camden and Mark together away from the excitement for a few minutes. It was so much fun and they were so much fun to work with. We wish you great blessings on an incredible marriage, Camden and Mark!

The churches of Polpenazze
The centre of Polpenazze consists of the castle in which is found the church of Santi Fermo and Rustico, demolished after theconsecration, in 1595 of the new parochial church dedicated to the Nativity of Maria. The earlier parish church was not Santi Fermo and Rustico but rather San Pietro in Lucone, built on a hill to the west of the town. Rebuilt in the XVth century with three naves and a rectangular apse, there remained the bell tower in ashlar dated to the XIIIth century.
A Castelletto, a quarter of Polpenazze, in locality of Paoletti, in the Roman age there was a place of cult next to a spring. The present name derives from a fortification built on the top of a rounded summit, on the top and along the slopes there were superficial finds of medieval pottery until the recent urbanization. In a field at the foot of the hill on the eastern side in the sixties of the last century there was a fortuitous finding of a Lombard warrior burial with his weapons: a shield boss that is now at the museum of Gavardo, whilst the sword has been lost. At the foot of the hill, but this time towards the western side, there was built the church of Santa Maria Elisabetta, rebuilt in modern times.
Another centre, now dependent on Polpenazze, but probably in origin autonomous, is that of Picedo, with sporadic testimonies from Roman times and with the church dedicated to Sant'Antonio abate, probably of early foundation, even though it is cited for the first time by the bishop Ermolao Barbaro in 1454 and whose standing remains don't appear to be earlier than the XIVth century; internally there are conserved frescoes of the second half of the XVth century.
The most interesting case regards the baptismal church of Bottenago, a quarter merged into Polpenazze in the XIXth century. Subject to the diocese of Brescia it has an ancient historythat is highly interesting (infra).

Jalen Suggs could return to Magic's lineup Friday against Hornets
ORLANDO, Fla. — Rookie guard Jalen Suggs, who has been out since Nov. 29, is likely available to play Friday night when the Orlando Magic face the Hornets in Charlotte, the Magic indicated Thursday in a tweet.
Magic guard Jalen Suggs could play Friday night against Hornets
The guard has been out since Nov. 29 with a fractured right thumb
The rookie was drafted No. 5 overall in the 2021 NBA Draft
He was averaging 12.3 points and 3.6 assists before getting injured
Suggs, the No. 5 overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft, fractured his right thumb when Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid swiped at the ball and came down on it as Suggs drove to the basket. His right hand is considered his shooting hand.
He has missed 21 of Orlando's 42 games this season. He was averaging 12.3 points, 3.4 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game when he went out.
Suggs and rookie teammate Franz Wagner, who was selected No. 8 overall in the 2021 draft, are considered key pieces to the Magic's rebuild effort. Orlando is 7-35 so far this season, the league's worst record, and has lost 10 games in a row.

After a few hours of travel, our team kicked off Hop Harvest Week 2017 with a visit to our friends at Cornerstone Ranches. Located in the lower Yakima Valley, the ranch is owned by Graham Gamache, the fourth generation Gamache to be tilling the soil for beer's sake. His family were among the first to discover that the Yakima Valley was a magical place to grow hops over 100 years ago.
Graham and his team rely on an antique hop picking machine, called a Fontaine, that was first used by his grandfather in 1948. Watching it work 'round the clock, in this case to harvest Cashmere hops, is a sight to see.


Designer Victor Nikishov came up with the Ultimate Anti-Stress beer, this one lets you just sit back, have a beer, relax and paint.
Is this The Ultimate Anti-Stress Beer? I'm guessing that most of you think just having a beer in a regular way is enough to get you to stress down. Ukrainian designer Victor Nikishov took this to another level with his anti-stress beer.
Not only does it give you that small alcohol kick (hey, drink responsibly), it comes with a label that is crying out for some coloring pens, which is the idea.
That's what Victor did. He too has noticed that in any airport store, in groceries, in toy stores you can now find anti-stress coloring books. And this is not something you get for your children. Oh, no. Adults worldwide is sitting around filling in detailed patterns with pens when they need to relax, at least that what I'm guessing.
But how about using these patterns in more ways? Like adding them to a beer label and turning two anti-stress products into one awesome anti-stress product? He did and the result is what you see in these photos. A fun concept and a clever idea, but what is really great is how good it looks.
That's what really stands out besides this being a fun idea. The bottles look great. Simple designs in black on white labels. Each one with a theme.
A city map, houses, buttons, leaves and cats. They all look cool and will make you want to reach out for some color pencils as soon as possible, at least that's how they make me feel.
For more design by Victor, you can check out him here, for more great beer packaging I have lots of those here.

Guardian: MPs to discuss 'vulture fund' restrictions
6th May 2009 by Spear's
MPs will today seek to curb the activities of "vulture funds" that prey on poor countries by buying their sovereign debt cheaply and then going to court to enforce repayment of the full value.
From the Guardian:
Labour MP Sally Keeble will lead a group of 12 cross-party MPs in calling in parliament for a Developing Country Debt (Restriction of Recovery) bill that would seek to ban hedge funds and other creditors from taking legal action to make large profits out of the debts of some of the world's poorest countries.
Such funds, many of which are based in the US or the British Virgin Islands, often use British courts and law firms to pursue claims against poor countries, such as Zambia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Liberia.
"These vulture funds have been engaged in completely unregulated profiteering in third world debt," Keeble said. "This bill puts forward some basic measures to clip their wings."

Last but not least, you can help prevent weeds from sprouting up by putting ground cover in strategic areas of your garden. Before you start planting in a new area, consider incorporating a layer of landscaping fabric underneath your topsoil. Cut a hole in the fabric for each plant that allows them ample room to grow. Garden fabric shall prevent weed seeds hiding in your soil from germinating. Other options for ground cover include mulch and wood chips. When laid generously around plants and shrubs, they help prevent weeds from growing with the added benefit of adding some interest to your garden's aesthetic.

Soon the last signs of summer will be gone, and many cottage owners will be starting to close up for the winter. There are lots of steps you can take to make sure your cottage is still in great shape when you come to open it again in the spring!
A lot of cottages aren't properly winterized, so take steps to prevent it from freezing over the winter. Frozen pipes can burst, causing tons of damage. If you return in the spring, you may not have a water supply.
Drain your pipes when you leave for the last time. You can buy non-toxic anti-freeze made especially for these types of pipes. Make sure your pipes are wrapped and protected properly at the joints to provide more protection from freezing.
Small animals like mice and squirrels can wreak havoc on your cottage over the winter months if they move in while you're gone. Try not to use poison, but make sure you take all of your food with you when you leave so there isn't anything left behind for them to be attracted to. Do a quick inspection of the exterior of your cottage to make sure there aren't any small holes for critters to get in through. Cover your chimney so that birds don't get it, and to keep it protected from rain and snow.
If you're going to completely turn off your cottage's electricity, turn off all of your large appliances beforehand.

Self-Strengthening Movement
Chinese history
https://www.britannica.com/event/Self-Strengthening-Movement
Alpha History - The Self-Strengthening Movement
Academia - The Self Strengthening Movement
Key People:
Feng Guifen Lin Zexu
Self-Strengthening Movement, movement (1861–95) in which the Qing dynasty (1644–1911/12) of China introduced Western methods and technology in an attempt to renovate Chinese military, diplomatic, fiscal, and educational policy.
The Self-Strengthening Movement was launched by three governors-general —Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang, and Zuo Zongtang—who sought to consolidate Qing power by introducing Western technology. The movement was stimulated by the military training and techniques exhibited during the Westerners' cooperation with the Qing in ending the Taiping Rebellion (1850–64) and was supported by Prince Gong in Beijing. The ideological champion of the movement was Feng Guifen, who urged China to "use the barbarians' superior techniques to control the barbarians" and proposed to give the gentry stronger leadership than before in local administration. The advocates of the Self-Strengthening Movement had regarded any institutional or ideological change as needless. But after 1885 some lower officials and comprador intellectuals began to emphasize institutional reforms and the opening of a parliament and to stress economic rather than military affairs for self-strengthening purposes.
More From Britannica
China: The Self-Strengthening Movement
Although there were some notable gains made, particularly in the military sector, the overall success of the Self-Strengthening Movement was limited. This was in part because of administrative failings and financial constraints and because of incompatibilities between Chinese tradition and Western methods and technology.

Cordillera Administrative Region updates
LATEST UPDATE: July 15, 2019 - 9:32am
CORDILLERA ADMINISTRATIVE REGION
APAYAO
IFUGAO
+ Follow Story
The move for self-rule in the Cordillera region still lacks steam as the regional autonomy movement has yet to catch fire in the highland region more than 30 years since it was founded.
Aside from President Rodrigo Duterte declaring July 15 a special non-working holiday in the region for the 32nd foundation anniversary of the Cordillera Administrative Region, people in CAR seem cold to autonomy.
CAR, comprising Abra, Apayao, Benguet, Ifugao, Kalinga, Mountain Province and Baguio City, was created through Executive Order 220, which was signed by President Corazon Aquino on July 15, 1987.
Two previous attempts to create an autonomous Cordillera have failed and it is unclear if another one will be made through the 18th Congress, which meets later this month.
With President Rodrigo Duterte's push for federalism apparently making a detour to a simple charter change, prospects for it are dim.
Even Cordillera lawmakers seem indifferent to another attempt at a new charter for the region.
Despite the drumbeating by government agencies and local government units for Cordillera Day and the yearly Cordillera-wide "gong relay" to demonstrate regional unity, legislators from the Cordillera are unlikely to take up the campaign again, especially after the electoral loss of former Baguio City Mayor Mauricio Domogan, one of the "figureheads" of the autonomy bid. — The STAR/Artemio Dumlao
July 15, Monday, is a special non-working holiday in the highland Cordillera region.
Malacañang via Proclamation 763 signed by Executive Secretary Salvado Medialdea on Thursday declaresJuly 15 as a special non-working holiday for the six provinces and two cities in the highland region in connection with its 32nd founding anniversary.
The declaration states: "It is but fitting and proper that the people of the [Cordillera Administrative Region] be given full opportunity to celebrate and participate in the occasion with appropriate ceremonies."
CAR, which includes the provinces of Abra, Benguet, Mountain Province, Ifugao, Kalinga, Apayao, and Tabuk City and Baguio City, was created under Executive Order 220 by President Corazon Aquino on July 15, 1987.
The Palace also declared non-working holidays in Sta. Rosa City, Laguna (July 10), Guihulngan City, Negros Oriental (July 12) and Mauban, Quezon (July 15). ?— The STAR/Artemio Dumlao
Abra province is the first in the Cordillera and Northern Luzon to open drug reformation facilities for drug offenders.
The "Bahay Silangan" facilities in Tayum and Bucay towns were established by the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency in close partnership with local government unit.
Balay Silangan is a reformation program that helps individuals stop substance or drug abuse.
But even before formally opening the facility, Bucay town had started operating their reformation facility in December 2018 and already had 19 graduates on January 30, 2019.
While Tayum has just started its facility on June 20, 2019, with seven enrollee-reformists.
PDEA Abra provincial officer Julius Paderes beamed, "I am proud to say that we are the first province in the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) and in Northern Luzon to establish a Balay Silangan."
Nineteen reformation clients of Balay Silangan in Bucay are now productive members of the society through this program, Paderes claimed. They are now recognized as volunteers of the Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office of the town.
The graduates underwent livelihood training by the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA)-Abra.
They were schooled about animal husbandry, massage therapy, and other services. This joint effort between TESDA and PDEA is a part of the 30-day training program in Balay Silangan.
Balay Silangan is based on the concept of "Bahay ng Pagbabago", a reformation center which helps rehabilitate drug offenders. — The STAR/Artemio Dumlao
The Environment department has reconsidered an earlier order to close down the Irisan dumpsite in Baguio City, but also wants the city to haul out mixed waste material there by the end of the month.
Engineer Ralph Pablo, director of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources- Cordillera Administrative Region (DENR-CAR) says the city should also install and operate the two Environmental Recycling System machines at the site that have conked out.
The dump can continue to operate but must collect only biodegradable waste and should not store any residual waste outside the ERS facility.
Environment Undersecretary Benny Antiporda, who ordered the shut down of the Irisan dump last week, explains that they were at the dump site (last week) "not to create chaos, but good management and housekeeping."
The private firm Rapport has been in charge of the management and operation of ERS machines at the dump for the processing of biodegradable waste into an organic fertilizer. The five-year contract of the city with Rapport Innovations will lapse on 2023.
It has committed to rehabilitate the ERS machines, which processes at least 20 tons of biodegradable waste each daily into fertilizer. — The STAR/Artemio Dumlao
The Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency in the Mountain Province with support from the provincial police seized two marijuana plantations in Mt. Ungyod at Betwagan in Sadanga town over the weekend.
A total of 13,000 marijuana plants, valued at P2.6 million, were uprooted and then set on fire.
PDEA-Cordillera director Edgar Apalla said marijuana trails behind shabu as the drug of choice among drug dependents.
Marijuana eradication though still tops the efforts of authorities in the highland region, where the quality of the illicit drug remains the highest comparable to the Mexican hemp variety famous worldwide. — The STAR/Artemio Dumlao
Authorities overran an illicit marijuana plantation in Tinglayan, Kalinga over the weekend and destroyed 240,500 of fully-grown marijuana plants.
They also destroyed 1,000 seedlings seized from the 14,200-square meter plantation.
The operations were led by the Tinglayan and Tanudan, Kalinga police drug enforcement units aided by PNP drug enforcement group Special Operations Unit 1, Kalinga provincial police office and PDEA Ifugao during a three-day operation that ended Monday morning.
The bust was so massive, the Kalinga police said, that it took them three days to complete the destruction of the plants. — The STAR/Artemio Dumlao
A young boy reportedly shot and killed a 42-year-old villager of Lagayan town in Abra over a verbal spat, police say.
Fisherman Wilfred Ban-o Bersamira alias "Boy London", 42, reportedly left a drinking party at the house of a certain Alan Bernal with his friends Ali Donato and Peter Tandingan when they met Marian Mica Vista,20, on their way home.
A verbal spat ensued between the fisherman and Vista prompting the suspect to draw a gun and fired at the 42 year old fisherman on the head.
The suspect is Vista's brother..
Bersamira died while being treated at the Abra Provincial Hospital in Bangued, the province's capital, Sunday night.
Police launched a search for the suspect, a minor. — The STAR/Artemio Dumlao in La Trinidad, Benguet
Authorities have nothing yet in the murder of Islamic religious leader Imam Bedejim Abdullah, 55, who was peppered with bullets by a bonnet-wearing gunman last December just a stone's throw away from the headquarters of the Baguio City police and from Baguio City hall.
"Right at the doorstep" of an Islamic education institution along Kayang St., here, Abdullah, who taught theology at the Philippine Military Academy aside from being a very important instrument in the propagation of Islam in Baguio City and the rest of the Cordillera region, was walking up to the "Discovery Islam", a non-government institution propagating the teachings of Qur'an (Koran), when the gunman came close from behind and pumped bullets into his head and body.
Even with CCTV footage at hand, local police are finding it difficult to find a suspect.
Already considered "a cold case", nothing has came out of a probe by a Special Investigation Task Group of the Baguio City police.
The case has been handed over to the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group-Cordillera.
Even the family seems to be losing hope that the case will be resolved, laments lawyer Yasser Guru of the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos (NCMF) here. "Not that they are losing confidence to the investigators but the snail-paced results is despairing them," he explains.
Abdullah's colleague Imam Samsoden Monib, who swore Abdullah has no personal enemies nor business interests in the city earlier said that before the religious leader's murder he had been receiving death threats from a fundamentalist Islamic group, alluding to an "ISIS"-inspired group that wanted his head.
Abdullah was not the first Islamic religious leader gunned down in the country. In 2017, another "imam" was gunned down by suspected "ISIS"-inspired gunmen in Cavite. — The STAR/Artemio Dumlao in Baguio City
More than P2.9 million worth of marijuana plants went up in smoke after a three-day marijuana operation by Cordillera police, soldiers and Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency agents in Tinglayan, Kalinga.
Three plantation sites with a total land area of 1,950 square meters were discovered at Barangay Loccong by Kalinga police, PDEA-CAR and troopers from Philippine Army's 503rd Infantry Brigade .
Some 14,600 fully-grown marijuana plants were uprooted and burned onsite.
Authorities recently hatched "Oplan Buscong Ridge" wanting to clear all drug-affected barangays in Tinglayan, Kalinga.
Last month, P5.7 million worth of weed were destroyed and burned in Barangay Butbut Proper, also in Tinglayan. — The STAR/Artemio Dumlao in Baguio City
The Department of Environment and Natural Resources in the Cordillera region says there is no formal order or memorandum from Environment Secretary Roy Cimatu imposing a total ban on the cutting of trees in Baguio City.
Ralph Pablo, regional chief of the DENR, said Cimatu's supposed pronouncement of a ban on cutting trees is not backed by a formal order for it. He said the DENR will process applications to cut trees in Baguio City through the regular process and under the existing rules and regulations.
"We never delayed the issuance of tree-cutting permits to applicants but we have to subject their applications to the processes prescribed under existing orders. We can issue the desired permit within one week from the date it was applied for," Pablo said.
The DENR's central office can issue tree-cutting permits to cut naturally-grown trees and applications for 50 or more planted trees. The regional office is authorized to issue tree-cutting permits for applications to cut down 50 trees or less.
Local chief executives can issue tree-cutting permits for dead trees and trees that pose a serious threat to life and property. — The STAR/Artemio Dumlao in Baguio City

The moratorium should be in effect until a proper urban plan is reviewed and implemented, the petitioners said. The urban plan will include properly conducted and peer-reviewed soil investigation and testing reports for foundations of structures, performed by a licensed geotechnical engineer and that no structures will be constructed over the eight-story limit specified by the city government.
Petitioners claim, it is crucial that the current policies on construction and zoning be reviewed, citing six earthquake faults below Baguio City while also citing a historical seismic study by the Philippine Institute for Volcanology and Seismology that supposedly saw a 6.4 to 7.0 magnitude earthquake is likely to occur in 20 years after the July 16, 1990 major earthquake.
The fault lines are located at Burnham, Mirador, Tuba, San Vicente, Bued, and Loakan. — The STAR/Artemio Dumlao

Kalinga Vice Governor James Edubba, who ran for governor, has formally filed an election protest with the law department of the Commission on Elections seeking to exclude votes cast in one of the vote-rich barangays in Pinukpuk town.
He also wants the poll body to dig into circumstances that cast doubt on the sanctity of the 622 votes cast in that precinct.
In his petition, Edubba questioned the decision of Comelec officials in barangay Sucbut, Pinukpuk to confiscate the SD cards from the board of election inspectors (BEIs) and ordered them to leave the polling precinct since it might take two days to allegedly reconfigure the alleged defective SD cards.
He however narrated that after several hours, the BEI members were called back to the municipal canvassing center only to be informed that what was defective was the vote counting machine and not the SD cards which now raised doubts on the sanctity of the ballots in the said barangays.
Edubba's petition claimed there were some 622 votes that were cast in the questioned precinct in barangay Sucbut where incumbent Tabuk City Mayor Ferdinand Tubban garnered 267 votes, Conrado Dieza, one of the aspirants for the gubernatorial post was able to get some 191 votes while Edubba only got 125 votes. — The STAR/Artemio Dumlao

The Philippine Military Academy in Baguio is now officially a historical site.
National Historical Commission of the Philippines Acting Executive Director Ludovico Badoy unveiled the historical marker with PMA Superintendent Lieutenant General Ronnie Evangelista on Tuesday, before the graduating ceremonies of the 263-strong PMA class of 2019 on Sunday.
The NHCP is the national government agency mandated to promote Philippine history through its museums, research and publications, and to preserve historical heritage through conservation and the marking of historic sites and structures.
PMA acting information chief Reynan Afan said application for the NHCP started last year for the Marcelo Hall, Borromeo Field and Sundial areas.
The Marcelo Hall was built in the 1950s along with the establishment of the hallowed grounds of the Borromeo Field, while the sundial was built in 1957.
The NHCP decided to declare the entire area as a historical site with the marker set at the main gates of the academy.
The marker reads:
"Kinikilala bilang kahalili ng Academia Militar na itinatag sa kumbento ng simbahan ng Barasoain sa Malolos, Bulacan, 25 Oktubre 1898 at nagtagal hanggang 20 Enero 1899. Itinatag sa Intramuros, Maynila bilang Philippine Constabulary School alinsunod sa General Order no. 71, 17 Agosto 1905.

Outgoing Baguio City Mayor Mauricio Domogan, who lost a bid for a seat at the House of Representatives, says he is ready to face usurpation charges initiated by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources in connection to the issuance of tree-cutting permits for dead trees and those that pose a danger to the public.
Charges being floated by DENR Undersecretary Benny Antiporda, Domogan says, are another effort to subject him to trial by publicity.
He says the DENR should file the supposed usurpation charges so he can defend himself in the proper forum.
"We do not even know if the usurpation charges were filed in the first place. We are wondering why such charges are being floated in the media and not the proper forum so that we will be able to present our arguments that will dispute such unfounded and unfair allegations," Domogan says. — The STAR/Artemio Dumlao

Today, Michael Clemens, a senior fellow at the Center for Global Development, released the following statement responding to the announcement of the finalization of the Global Compact for Migration.
"This is the biggest step the world has taken to cooperatively face the defining policy challenge of our time: how to better regulate international migration in this century. The Compact offers a clear mandate and roadmap for countries to work together to get more of what they want from migration and less of what they do not want.
"Unfortunately, there is currently a political movement ascendant in the U.S., UK, Italy, and elsewhere promising to address the many problems of migration by restricting or eliminating it altogether. This new Compact is the defining alternative to that movement. It is a treasure chest of the best ideas on how to address the many challenges of migration with hard work and a pragmatic cooperative approach.
"While the Compact is now final, the real work is just beginning. As countries prepare to adopt the Global Compact for Migration in December, discussions will revolve around how to operationalize and implement the commitments agreed to in this document. One innovation endorsed by the Compact is the idea to create Global Skill Partnerships. Other innovations should also be piloted and tested out, as countries and their partners work to identify sustainable solutions to today's migration challenges and opportunities.

Lecture by Nalini Malani at Centre Pompidou
Manjari Sihare shares details of a forthcoming lecture by Nalini Malani at the Centre Pompidou in Paris
Paris: The Centre Pompidou, Paris, will be hosting a lecture by Nalini Malani on May 22, 2013 as part of Vivo, an ongoing series dedicated to performance art, wherein an artist whose work is in the collection of the museum is invited to speak about his/her work and/or show a performance. Nalini Malani (b. 1946) pioneered performance, video art and installation in India, and is one of the major internationally recognized figures on the Indian art scene. Combining myths and legends of East and West, she creates timeless characters, heroines and mutants bearing signs of violence against women. Through these figures, the artist engages in a reflection on the excesses of capitalism and fanaticism, leading the viewer into the experience of confrontation between narrative and ancestral history. During this session, Nalini Malani will present an unpublished work on performance for the first time in France.

Asteroid alert! Gigantic 230-foot asteroid advancing towards Earth at ferocious speed
NASA has raised an alert about a 230-foot wide asteroid that could make a close approach towards the planet as soon as today.
Our entire solar system is filled with asteroids ranging in size from a few millimeters to hundreds of kilometers. Asteroids, along with a handful of other celestial objects are the biggest threat to humanity in the Universe. To extinguish life on Earth, an asteroid would have to be approximately 96 km wide, although smaller asteroids also have the potential to cause damage up to some extent. Unlike bigger asteroids which rarely stray towards Earth, smaller asteroids frequently fly past Earth at relatively close distances. Now, another one of these smaller space rocks is expected to make a close approach to the planet as soon as today.
Key information about Asteroids 2021 TL
NASA's Planetary Defense Coordination Office is the watchdog which keeps an eye on celestial objects like asteroids for potential impact with the planet. These objects are termed as Potentially Hazardous Objects if they are projected to fly past Earth at a distance closer than 8 million kilometers. NASA has issued a similar warning about an asteroid named Asteroid 2021 TL which is expected to buzz Earth today, January 9.
In fact, this asteroid is already on its way towards the planet at a ferocious speed of 30422 kilometers per hour. NASA estimates this asteroid will pass Earth at a distance of 5.4 million kilometers. What's concerning about this asteroid is its gigantic size. This asteroid is estimated to be nearly 230 feet wide, making it nearly as big as an aircraft!
Asteroid fun facts
1. Most of the asteroids can be found in a specific region in space. It is called the asteroid belt – a region between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
2. Asteroids are usually made up of rocks, but they can also be made of metals such as nickel and iron, or even clay!
3. More than 150 asteroids are known to have a small companion moon, or even two moons!
4. Asteroids were considered as planets until the middle of the 19th century!
5. An asteroid was responsible for triggering the extinction of dinosaurs when it crashed on Earth near the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico more than 65 million years ago.

The chapter also provides a practical "Checklist For MSP Designers". It is a list of key points that need to be addressed when designing multi-stakeholder processes. Not all processes need to include all of these components but they are suggested for consideration in order to gain clarity and not overlook necessary activities.
This seminal guide offers a practical framework for designing and facilitating collaborative processes that work across the boundaries of business, government, civil society and science, supporting those who are involved with MSPs as stakeholders, leaders, facilitators or funders. The guide discusses conceptual foundations and practical tools, including a clear four phase process model, a set of seven core principles, key ideas for facilitation, references to 60 participatory tools for analysis, planning and decision making, and many practical examples from around the world. It draws on science, experience, expertise as well as training materials used at the Centre of Development Innovation (CDI), at Wageningen University & Research Centre. CDI also maintains a web portal on MSPsat www.mspguide.org offering information, materials, links and other useful resources as well as a platform for exchange among practitioners.
This compilation of 60 tools is a companion to The MSP Guide, the Wageningen University & Research CDI resource on how to design and facilitate effective multi-stakeholder partnerships. The MSP Guide is also available in French. Free download at www.mspguide.org.
