Aidan O'Brien sending stars to Melbourne
Racing Victoria's international recruiter Paul Bloodworth got the result he had been dreaming about when Irish master trainer Aidan O'Brien told him he would put six high quality horses into quarantine.
At the top of Bloodworth's list was last year's English Derby winner Anthony Van Dyck, who would become the first winner of the English classic to race in Australia, so he was thrilled when informed that horse was in the squad.
"It's been a long road to get to this stage and we're getting near the finishing line," Bloodworth said.
"It's fantastic news that Aidan will send six horses into quarantine. That doesn't mean they're absolutely locked in but all indications are that it's his intention to bring them here."
Bloodworth said it was the strongest line up O'Brien had sent to Australia.
O'Brien had 10 horses under consideration for the Melbourne spring but picked his final squad after last weekend's races across England and Ireland.
Anthony Van Dyck will carry top weight of 58.5kg in the Caulfield and Melbourne Cups.
Bloodworth said Anthony Van Dyck was in superb form as he showed when he defeated the world's best stayer, Stradivarius, in the Group Two Prix Foy (2400m) at Longchamp on the weekend.
"Aidan has never brought out a horse of his quality," Bloodworth said.
"He's an Epsom Derby winner who was rated one of the best three-year-olds in the world and he's continued on with his form as a four-year-old.
"He's going to be a great Caulfield Cup prospect as it has been proven horses can carry big weights and win that race.
"It's a more difficult task in the Melbourne Cup though to carry a big weight.
"In terms of where he sits of the horses who have come out here, he's up there with Vinnie Roe, Double Trigger, Oscar Schindler, Drum Taps, Septimus and Yeats as the best quality horse to have come here."
O'Brien will send his carnival horses into quarantine at Ballydoyle from Wednesday where they will spend two weeks before travelling to Australia.
The rest of the O'Brien team are Armory, Santiago, Tiger Moth, Wichita and Magic Wand.
Both Santiago and Tiger Moth are northern hemisphere three-year-olds who are in good form and are coming for the Melbourne Cup.
Santiago finished fourth in last weekend's English St Leger at Doncaster and Tiger Moth won the Group Three Kilternan Stakes at Leopardstown.
Armory is coming for the Cox Plate and Mackinnon Stakes and Bloodworth said his last-start third behind two of the best horses in the world in Magical and Ghaiyyath in the Group One Irish Champion Stakes was high-class form.
"That's magnificent form. He's got a slightly higher rating than Adelaide did when he won the Cox Plate," Bloodworth said.
Last year's Mackinnon Stakes winner, the globe-trotting mare Magic Wand, will return with O'Brien's squad rounded out by last Saturday's Group Two Doncaster winner Wichita.
Earlier this week English trainer Roger Charlton confirmed he would be bringing out Aspetar for the Cox Plate.

The Punjab government has announced that the school buses should be fitted with speed governors to ply at a maximum speed limit of 40 km per hour.
Speaking to Hindustan Times here, Dalwinderjit Singh, district transport officer, said that a decision to this effect was taken during a meeting of Punjab State Road Safety Council headed by Ajit Singh Kohar, transport minister in Chandigarh on Monday.
Recently, 13 children were killed in school van collision with a truck near Nakodar.
He said that the council had also decided to form a joint action group in which departments of transport, education, forest and police would work cohesively to ensure that road safety norms would be implemented properly.
Revealing the series of road safety initiatives with regard to transportation of students, Singh said that the driver of school bus must possess a driving licence of heavy vehicle with an experience of five years. "The school buses should be painted in yellow colour. The school buses must also bear the name and the contact number of the school in bold letters," he said.
It was also decided in the meeting that the services of a driver, who was challaned two times for traffic violations, should not be retained by the school managements. "The drivers should be medically examined from time to time," he said, adding that the buses should also have the proper first-aid box.
Singh said that the school managements had also been instructed to properly maintain school buses and these buses should be put to use as per the Motor Vehicle Act, 1988 and Supreme Court rulings in this regard.
"A strict action will be taken against those who have overloaded the buses," he said.

L'Amministrazione Alleata della Libia si ebbe nel periodo durante il quale la Francia e il Regno Unito occuparono la Libia italiana, al termine della seconda guerra mondiale.

I Britannici amministravano la Tripolitana e la Cirenaica, mentre i Francesi amministravano il Fezzan. Il periodo di amministrazione alleata si estese dal 1947, a seguito della firma del Trattato di Parigi fra l'Italia e le potenze alleate (di fatto già dal 1943, a seguito della campagna del Nord Africa), fino all'indipendenza del Regno Unito di Libia nel 1951.

Storia

Nel novembre 1942, le forze alleate riconquistarono la Cirenaica. Nel febbraio 1943, gli ultimi soldati tedeschi e italiani furono cacciati dalla Libia e iniziò l'occupazione alleata della Libia.

All'inizio del dopoguerra, la Tripolitania e la Cirenaica rimasero sotto l'amministrazione della Gran Bretagna, mentre la Francia controllava Fezzan. Nel 1944, Idris tornò dall'esilio al Cairo ma rifiutò di riprendere la residenza permanente in Cirenaica fino alla rimozione nel 1947 di alcuni aspetti del controllo straniero. Secondo i termini del trattato di pace del 1947 con gli Alleati, l'Italia, che sperava di mantenere la Tripolitania, rinunciò a tutte le pretese alla Libia. Quando la Libia dichiarò la sua indipendenza il 24 dicembre 1951, ponendo fine all'occupazione alleata della Libia, fu il primo paese a raggiungere l'indipendenza attraverso le Nazioni Unite e uno dei primi ex possedimenti europei in Africa ad ottenere l'indipendenza.

HUNDREDS of passengers have been left stranded after East Midlands airline FlyBMI announced that they were going into administration.
With all flights grounded since last Saturday, many Brits may be left questioning whether they are entitled to any replacement flights or compensation.
Are FlyBMI passengers ATOL protected?
The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) advises that anyone who has bought their flights as part of a package holiday to check whether the travel firm they booked with has an ATOL certificate as they would be eligible for replacement flights or a refund if so.
A CAA spokesperson told Sun Online Travel that Brits who booked their flights directly with FlyBMI are not protected by ATOL and will need to organise their return flights at their own expense.
Anyone who booked their flights using a credit card may be able to get a refund under Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act or have travel insurance that includes "Scheduled Airline Failure Insurance" (SAFI).
Sun Online revealed how you can claim compensation or get a refund if you have bought FlyBMI flights.
Does ATOL protection ever cover flights only?
Some flight-only bookings made directly on the airline's website are ATOL protected - the full list is available on the CAA website.
For example, easyJet states on their website both flights and holidays are protected: "All the flights and flight-inclusive holidays sold in UK on this website are financially protected by the ATOL scheme."
However, Ryanair explain on their website that "flights booked directly from an airline are not ATOL protected".
According to the CAA, Brits who receive an ATOL certificate immediately after booking are covered when purchasing flights only, yet this is on a case-by-case basis of airlines.
Flight-only arrangements bought through a travel agent are not always protected under the scheme - so make sure you always ask.
What does an ATOL protected holiday mean?
By law, every UK travel company that sells package holidays and flights is required to hold an ATOL certificate, which stands for Air Travel Organiser's Licence.
If an ATOL-certified travel company ceases trading, the scheme protects customers who booked holidays with the firm - making sure they don't get stranded abroad or end up out of pocket.
It's designed to reassure consumers that their money is safe, and it helps customers if their travel agent goes bust.
After the airline Monarch collapsed, those who booked a package holiday were ATOL protected and were able to get their money back.
Primera Air, a Danish-registered airline, was not part of the Civil Aviation Authority's ATOL Protection scheme and after it collapsed in October 1, its stranded customers could not claim compensation because of its lack of ATOL certification.
How much does ATOL protection cost and is it worth it?
ATOL protection doesn't cost anything extra for the customer directly - it's included in the cost of the holiday.
Travel agents must pay £2.50 for each person they book on a holiday into the scheme, which is run by the CAA.
The money goes into a fund used by the CAA to make sure consumers can either complete their holiday or receive a full refund.
While flights booked directly with airlines are not currently covered under this, The Times suggested that there may be an overhaul of the system that will see passengers paying an extra £2.50 per person to be covered under the scheme as well.
Brits should always book their own travel insurance before heading abroad on a holiday.
Some policies start from as little as £9 a year although these would only offer basic protection.
A no-deal Brexit could see travel insurance being void from April.

A-list couple Robbie Williams and Ayda Field set to 'join The X Factor as judges'
PA-News
9:46 am - 13/06/18
Ooo, this could be so good!
TAGS: Ayda FieldRobbie Williams
Over the years we've seen some cute, odd and surprising couples emerge from The X Factor, ahem, Cheryl and Liam Payne. But now it's been reported that one MEGA celeb duo are set to join the judging panel. Step forward Robbie Williams and his American actress wife Ayda Field.
In a move that would see the Angels singer and his partner Ayda become the first couple on the judging panel, producers on the talent show have lined up a £10 million deal, the Daily Mirror claims.
And you know what, we think they could be bloomin' brilliant!
Former Take That star Robbie and Loose Woman panellist Ayda are said to be set to join Simon Cowell on the 15th series of the programme, which returns to ITV in August.
They will replace long-serving judge Louis Walsh, 65, and 39-year-old pop star Nicole Scherzinger, it is reported.
Ayda, 39, was born in California and starred in US soap Days Of Our Lives. She is now a regular on daytime TV chat show Loose Women.
Last month she interviewed X Factor boss Simon and posted a picture on Instagram, captioning it: 'Hope he puts me through to the next round!'
What a lucky girl getting to interview the incredibly talented @simoncowell for @loosewomen Hope he puts me through to the next round! x
A post shared by Ayda Field Williams (@aydafieldwilliams) on May 21, 2018 at 9:44am PDT
Former Take That singer Robbie, 44, met Ayda in 2006 and they married three years later.
His former bandmate Gary Barlow was a judge in two series from 2011.
GARY BARLOW COMES UNDER FIRE FOR MAKING THIS ERROR AT ONE OF HIS GIGS
A source told The Daily Mirror producers are 'over the moon' with the move.
It comes after the show's bosses announced Louis would leave the programme as it ushers in a 'new era'.
The band manager had appeared on all bar one series since the show began in 2004.
Louis said in a statement: 'I've had a fantastic 13 years on The X Factor but the show needs a change and I'm ready to leave.
'I'm looking forward to another series of Ireland's Got Talent, going back to my day job as a manager, writing my memoirs and seeing the world.'
Sharon Osbourne will have a scaled-back role in the show when it returns later this year.

Elders, educators, and students are growing food and sowing traditional knowledge in the garden at San Simon School in the Southwest corner of the Tohono O'odham Nation.
Menager's Dam is pinned against the Mexican border in the southwest corner of the Tohono O'odham Nation in the District of Gu Vo. The region is remarkably biodiverse, incredibly remote, and painfully food insecure. "Most people in the community shop in Casa Grande, and when few people have a vehicle that's a problem. That's a two-hour drive. It's also a problem that the food is so expensive. It's a triple whammy: it's the distance, it's the transportation, and it's the economics of it. It's problematic," says Susan Warmack, a Gu Vo native and board president of the Native American Advancement Foundation (NAAF).
The border crossing at Menager's Dam closed in the early 2000s, allowing only pedestrian access. "Before they closed the gate our nearest shopping area were the farms of Sonoita, Mexico, which are only 30 minutes away. You can see the farms across the border from our village," says Priscilla Thomas. "When someone would go shop in Sonoita, families would all put in their orders. I remember I would go with my grandma all day. She had pieces of canvas and she would tie up all the food in a big bundle. Each bundle was what a different family asked for. When we got home the families would untie their bundles and trade each other before they went home. Now that they closed the border, we have to go north. We go to Casa Grande to shop for the whole month. Before we could just go buy from the Tohono O'odham farmers." Geographic, economic, and political pressures nudge the community to drive their money out of the Tohono O'odham Nation and cart back processed food in bulk.
Yet, nestled just northeast of the Gu Vo District is San Simon School, and with it a gigantic school garden brimming with corn, melon, squash, peppers, tomatoes, sugar cane, and devil's claw. The half-acre, tractor-scale garden is a wellspring of food heritage that came to fruition through the work of a handful of teachers, a supportive principal, and broad community partnerships. But the seeds for the garden were sown by the community elders.
"Elders who were basket weavers came to give blessings to our children and encourage them to move forward with their own basket weaving. The elders mentioned how they would like to see our children learning about O'odham farming techniques and growing some of the plants needed to weave baskets," says Frank Rogers, the San Simon School principal of 14 years. From there, teacher interest began to build, but it still wasn't enough. "Over the years, staff expressed an interest in having a garden, and I've off and on had gardens. I know how much work they are and how much fun they can be. I also know how fast the energy for having a garden can fizzle out. So we didn't have a garden for years. I wanted to wait until we had the commitment to maintain and sustain a garden," says Rogers.
Today, Calabaza serves as the full-time garden coordinator, and the San Simon garden produces more than just food. The school garden is a two-directional spillway of traditional knowledge. Traditional Tohono O'odham knowledge flows into the garden through the elders and community members who remember the old ways. Virginia Montana, the school's culture teacher, uses the space to teach song and ceremony, and to grow crops used in basket making and weaving. Traditional knowledge streams out of the garden into Tohono O'odham homes through student emissaries.
The San Simon School garden is a space not only for local food production but also education about the community's agricultural traditions.

According to the latest round of polling, a majority of Republicans (52%) say that they support a "Medicare for All" policy here in the United States. This goes along with majorities of both Democrats and Independents, so the big question now is what are we waiting for? The public wants this to happen and Congress needs to make this a reality soon. At this point, the policy is an inevitability, so why waste any more time? Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

Medicare for ALL. How do we pay for it? We already are.
Everyone's behind it except for the people paid to be against it.
Andrew Church really I wonder what other secret knowledge is in that head of yours. I wonder what proof you have for that?
Because their donors don't want medicare for all. We need to get money out of politics.
That is the underlying issue, get money out of politics and the republicans will pivot so fast, our collective heads will spin.
So even right-wingers want access to health care. Shocker.
Gustov – Yet, they are voting for the party that has tried 70 times to get rid of the AHCA. 21 red states are suing the fed to get rid of the AHCA. All they have to hang their hats on are the words of their cult leader. He claims it is the Dems who are trying to take away their health care and that the Republicans will protect them. That's what happens when you chose to be uninformed.
They just dont like it when its the liberals made it.
Obamacare was their idea, but they are opposed to it NOW, because Obama put it in place.
Hi Everybody, I think the problem with the Democrats in regards to Medicare for all is that the Private Health Care Insurance Companies are an entrenched Special Interest, that is, they have Donor Money to spend on buying politicians. When Politics is controlled by Bribery, the Old will always be the enemy of the New, and futuristic innovations that have not yet made their fortunes will be Politically suppressed because of the Political Pull of the Dinosaurs. In order to gear up for the Future we need to get money out of politics.
Drug prices here in the U.K., which were already the lowest in the developed world, have dropped even lower recently since the NHS brought in a new cost limit buying system. US pharmaceutical companies tried to sue in a bid to stop the initiative but the NHS has such huge buying power theres not much they can do. Either take our business or we go elsewhere. The US allows their drug companies to rip off their citizens due to all the politicians being lobbied by these companies. You really need to stop lobbying in Washington they take you for fools.
Andy Tomlins I hope you never have our problems. I sincerely do. But I've seen your conservative party. They desperately want to privatize the NHS to enrich their buddies.
Here but for the grace of history go y'all.
Andy Tomlins The prices are truly outrageous over here. Even for stuff that has been off patent for decades like Valium. If you want the brand name it will cost well over $100/month. In France the same brand name package will be around 6-7€. In Germany perhaps twice the price but still a bargain.
Yep. They even like straight up benefits but in public they'll condemn everyone else for taking them.
were against Medicare for all until they got sick and now need it too.
there is a reason why politicians dont run on a single payer / medicare for all platform despite favorable voter polling…its called lobbyists and corporate donors.
No, I actually don't want Medicare for All as a "public option" or something I need to buy into. I want all of us to reap the benefits of having everyone enrolled in a single payer system.
Once 70% of Republicans support MFA, I think the Democratic Party leadership will start to consider it.
Why on earth would someone NOT want Medicare for all?!! Why!!!
KeepitReal2772 I'm sorry trump didn't raise our tax.
Bernie Sanders a major proponent of a national healthcare system himself admitted that taxes for the middle class would have to go up to fund such a program.
I don't see how the government taking the middle class money and then giving it back to them is more efficient then just letting them keep it to begin with.
+Arnold Slater Because, you don't have the middle men insurance companies skimming large profits off of the top of that pile that the middle class pays for their health insurance, and we can focus more on preventative care once people can go to the doctor for early symptoms to get things taken care of before they become serious medical problems that cost far more to treat.
Some Trump voters have indepently realized they wanted this, but have been tricked into thinking Trump is the guy to do it instead of Sanders.
The folks that OWN the parties HATE medicare for all. Too much $$ to be made. Medicare for gov't only!
Did you know that the Israeli foreign aid package, WHICH TRUMP INCREASED, is greater than the entire cost of the Israeli Socialist Universal health care system for Israelis?
Yes, we all would like free medical care for all. The question is how to pay for it. My suggestion is to cut the military budget in half and use that money. And our military would still be the most powerful in the world.
This system is rigged to make money for the rich man. Get rid of the rich man and we have enough to pay for everything . But the rich man would not let go of the rich man . So. O point in making fairy tails .
Trump stealing Bernie's platform about universal healthcare is like when Peele stole Key's high-on-potenuse joke. Except it's not funny this time.
One word "GMOs". So yes Medicare for ALL.
Unless we get money out of politics, despite the overwhelming support, MFA will likely never materialize unfortunately. But the tide is turning!! Great vid!!

Pumpkin Shannon runs her mouth to Mama June and 'Honey Boo Boo' Alana Thompson runs off to Sugar Bear: What's eating 'From Not to Hot' celebrities?
Fans of "Mama June: From Not to Hot" are pretty heated over "Pumpkin" Lauren Shannon and Honey Boo Boo. Teen mom Pumpkin ran her mouth and Alana Thompson just plain ran away. This may have put a damper on June's new relationship. Earlier June Shannon worried folks with a revelation that she has a mysterious illness after weight loss and plastic surgery. What's eating the Reality TV family?
Pregnant 17-year-old Pumpkin Shannon blasted her mom with f-bombs, nasty names, and whipped her the bird after Mama June confronted Pumpkin's baby daddy.
Honey Boo Boo got all sulky and scared June by taking off from a dress shop they were visiting. YouTube fans of WETV "From Not to Hot" saw red over such disrespect. Viewers shamed the celebrity kids for their "spoiled brat" behavior and said they deserved to be spanked.
Mama June's producers want to keep the reality television show going. After the bariatric surgery, new breast implant, skin removal, tummy tuck, and plastic surgery reveal of Season 1, folks are losing interest.
To advertise her fabulous 300-pound weight loss, "From Not to Hot" will feature June Shannon in a beauty pageant. Ex pageant star Alana Thompson was all on board with the publicity shtick till June passed the crown of pageant coach on to someone else. Alana ran off to cry to her Sugar Bear.
It's no surprise to most folks that Honey Boo Boo was replaced as Mama June's coach. Alana's time on "Toddlers & Tiaras" may have given her pageant experience, but not as a coach. Reality TV producers wanted a professional, not a kid.
And then there's the little matter of Alana's alarming obesity. Former reality star Abby Lee Miller of "Dance Moms" pulls off the morbidly obese dance coach and "My Big Fat Fabulous Life" star Whitney Way Thore is a dancer. But being so overweight isn't ideal.
Mike Thompson wants more time with his daughter, Honey Boo Boo, perhaps because it keeps him and his wife Jennifer Lamb on reality TV. On "From Not to Hot" they were delighted to trash talk June and welcomed Alana after her flounce and bounce from mom. They've used their daughter in power struggles with Shannon before. But is Sugar Bear Alana's baby daddy? Mama June hinted that he might not be.
Mama June scares off boyfriend?
June Shannon has a new lover named Geno Roak, but it may be more passionate on her side than his. Shannon asked him to move in with her and he refused. So June offered to stay with him, but Geno politely declined. What about the secret illness June has alluded to? Is that dampening his ardor? Geno just said he felt it was too soon and that the Celebrities' menage was a little crazy. Perhaps he is that rare reality TV star with common sense and maturity.


Zylofon Music did not take kindly to the alleged diss song Kumi Guitar released to attack his label mate and dancehall artiste Stonebwoy.
Making the revelation, Kumai Guitar said he was called into a meeting following the release of 'Gyae' in March this year.
The song was released as a response to a beef between Zylofon Music and Stonebwoy early this year.
In the heat of the confrontations, there was a nasty incident at the Champs Bar at Paloma where Stonebwoy allegedly fired a warning shot after Bulldog allegedly tried to seize the dancehall act's car keys.
Speaking in an interview with Andy Dosty on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM, Kumi Guitar revealed that Zylofon Music called him and warned that there will be consequences should he record such a song again.
Commenting his relationship with Stonebwoy, the highlife musician dispelled rumours of a friction between them.


Luke informs us that Jesus preaches that His Ministry on Earth will bring division among men. Of course there will be death on the cross for Jesus in order to gift us salvation. This alone will further separate those who believe that it is their behavior that earns salvation and those who follow the Lord who believe the Good News. The nourishing fire is Good News. Baptism makes sense. After Christ's death for our sins, Baptism is a joyous celebration in our lives and a formal entry rite into Christian Faith for many of us.
Jeremiah's prophecies were generally unwelcome. Jeremiah forecasts tough times ahead to prepare for the coming of the Saviour. We must mirror Jeremiah's boldness and courage in bringing Scripture to our community.
Our Psalm tells us that our ability to feel confident about adjudicating justice is correlated to our proximity to power.
The common theme in the Epistle to the Hebrews is one must possess and exercise endurance. Talk is cheap. Get to work.
– performed by Rick Betts.
Am I a God near by, says the LORD, and not a God far off? Jer. 23:23.
Rise up, O God, judge the earth; for all the nations belong to you! Ps. 82:8.
Looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who for the sake of the joy that was set before him endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Heb. 12:2.
Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but rather division! Luke 12:51.
your word is light and truth.
seeking justice and doing good. Amen.
and you condemn the rage of violence.
look to Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith. Amen.
– performed by Austin Academy Choir (2011).

Houston's Morning News 5-8am with Jimmy Barrett & Shara Fryer
Jimmy Barrett and Shara Fryer take you through the stories that matter on the morning of 03/26/2019, including: Now that the Mueller Report has been submitted, Democrats may have an even steeper uphill battle to the White House in 2020. They're already battling the socialist left wing of the party and a strong economy under Trump. A lot of political capital was staked on the outcome of the Mueller investigation… and now he's said there was 'no collusion' and 'no conspiracy.' Trump's ... See More vindication but the Mueller investigation is a devastating rebuke to Democrats and their media handmaidens, all of whom insisted his guilt was guaranteed. Even as we learn the details of what Mueller found, there remains a giant black hole about the very origins of the FBI investigation that led to his appointment in the first place. Was the initial decision to investigate Trump's campaign an honest mistake by the Obama administration? Or was it an attempt to rig the election in favor of Clinton, and when that failed, overthrow a duly elected president? Those outstanding issues are as worthy of complete answers as those that Mueller investigated. The Mueller report says 'no conspiracy' and 'no collusion'… but the Democrats are moving the goal post, still claiming that regardless of the conclusions of the 40-million dollar, 22-month investigation, collusion is self-evident. On Saturday, 2020 presidential candidate former Representative Beto O'Rourke (D-TX) stated that President Trump, "beyond the shadow of a doubt, sought to, however ham-handedly, collude with the Russian government," to influence the election. He added, "If you're wondering about collusion, then when you saw the president of the United States standing next to the leader of Russia on that stage in Helsinki, Finland, defending him and taking his word for it against our own intelligence community in our country, in George Will's words, not mine, that is collusion in action." O'Rourke further stated, "Ultimately, I believe this will be decided at the ballot box in 2020" by the voters. So-called chickenpox parties, in which parents expose their kids to the disease based on the belief that it will be more serious if contracted as an adult, are not a new concept. Before vaccines became available, the parties used to be very popular for diseases such as chickenpox or measles. Although these parties are far less common now, parents will still occasionally advertise having a child with chickenpox at home, inviting other parents with small children to come "get it over it and develop lifelong immunity." Are chickenpox parties a good idea? No, they really are not a good idea at all. Chickenpox parties were an OK idea in the days when parents had no other way to build long-lasting immunity in their children. But since the introduction of the chickenpox vaccine in 1995, parents no longer need to go to these extremes. They have a much safer way to make sure their kids are protected for years to come.

Police interview woman after Southmead Hospital patient's necklace 'sold to pawn shop'
Avon and Somerset police have issued an update on their investigation into a theft at Southmead Hospital
Conor GogartyChief reporter
Edward Szuluk wearing the necklace
Police have interviewed a woman after the theft of a necklace which had reportedly been in a Southmead Hospital safe following the death of its owner.
Edward Szuluk, 65, died at the hospital on July 13, after collapsing at his home near Stroud.
In August, Bristol Live revealed Mr Szuluk was reportedly wearing a gold necklace worth several thousands of pounds when admitted to Southmead on July 11.
A family member claimed the hospital told him the jewellery had been placed in the bereavement department's safe following Mr Szuluk's death, before going missing.
Police are investigating "information indicating the jewellery had been sold to a pawnbrokers" – and an officer has told the Szuluk family he "conducted a voluntary interview with the suspect" on September 29.
An Avon and Somerset police spokesman said today (October 5): "We can confirm that a 58-year-old woman has attended a police station for a voluntary interview and enquiries are ongoing."
North Bristol NHS Trust, which runs the hospital, says no employees have been suspended in connection with the matter.

The family member, who wished to be anonymous, said in August: "When you go into a hospital, you expect people and their belongings to be safe. We have been unbelievably stressed, and raging about it."
Mr Szuluk, who bought the necklace in the late 1970s or early 1980s, wore it around his neck all the time, his relative said.
"It was a one of a kind – a 2oz nugget of gold attached to a heavy chain necklace," he added. "I believe the chain was gold too.
"He always held onto it because it was seriously important to him. We always said he was paranoid it would go missing, but it turns out he was right to think that.
"Our family weren't going to sell it. It was going to stay in our family."
He said Southmead reassured the family it had put the jewellery in a safe following Mr Szuluk's death.
"When I then found out it had gone missing, I rang up 20 different pawn shops and jewellers in Bristol," he said.
"I got a call back from one of them saying it had bought the necklace. It had been sent to Birmingham and melted down."
The relative reported the missing necklace to police on July 24.

In August, a police spokesman said: "We're investigating the theft of an item of jewellery from Southmead Hospital.
"The jewellery belonged to a man who died at the hospital earlier this month and a member of his family reported the incident to us on Friday, July 24.
"As part of the initial report, the family member provided information indicating the jewellery had been sold to a pawnbrokers.
"We've made enquiries at the store and will be reviewing CCTV footage to progress this investigation."
North Bristol NHS Trust said today it is assisting police with their investigation.

After last year's commission of the Lusail Pedestrian Bridges in Qatar, Octatube is now taking their part of the project into the installation phase. The design has been drawn by San Diego-based Safdie Rabines Architects.
Since 2006 the Lusail Real Estate Development Company has started to develop a 38 sq km site 15 km north of Doha. This new project is one of the largest commercial projects in the Gulf States.
The theme of Lusail, Qatar's future city, has everything to do with water. The concept for the two pedestrian bridges is that of a necklace being draped along the ring of the island marina. After the realisation of a mock-up the first embedded elements are now on site.
The two cable-stayed bridges are brought to life with structural glass floors, aluminium louvre canopies, glass kiosk canopies and glass balustrades. Including the ramps, both bridges are approximately 200m long and span 90m from one quay to the other. Each bridge is fully illuminated, stimulating leisure activities during cooler evening temperatures.
The main structure of the bridges with the pylons, cables and concrete decks is built by FCC Construccion. Because of the marine environment, all structural elements are executed in duplex stainless steel. Octatube's scope holds more than 200 tons of this high grade steel. It is used for the production of cantilevering glass floor structures, canopy structures, baluster posts and a number of other elements.
The project features 2,000 sq m of laminated glass, divided into walkable areas, overhead glazing and the guardrails. The glass throughout the project has bespoke fritting patterns and all along the guardrails both the glass and the walkways will be illuminated by integrated LED lighting.


Enforcement - Kevin J. Schmid & Associates, P.C.
We represent individuals who are seeking to enforce child custody, support, property division and other divorce orders. We also represent those who have been accused of violating an order. A divorce decree is not just a binding legal document, it is a court order. A party's failure to comply with certain terms of the decree can give rise to a legal cause of action, a suit to enforce the court's order. Failure to respond to an enforcement action can have serious negative consequences including fines, changes to the divorce decree in favor of the other party, and even jail time. If you receive notice that you are accused of being in contempt of court for violating the divorce decree, it is critically important to seek immediate legal advice. Ignoring the notice can have serious negative consequences, including fines, removal of visitation or child support privileges, and a warrant being issued for your arrest.
Enforcement actions as contempt of court are used most commonly when one parent is not paying child support or refusing to allow scheduled visitation time. Child support or child custody enforcement actions between parents often quickly spiral out of control into hotly contested litigation. Early legal advice from the attorneys at Kevin J. Schmid and Associates regardless of which side of the enforcement action you are on can save both time and financial resources. More importantly, early intervention may allow you to engage in constructive planning with the other parent, rather than litigation.

Paul Reed Smith: Santana III Guitar
With a street price of under $3,000, the third Santana Guitar was probably created, in part, to make a Santana Signature guitar more accessible to working musicians. As such, it incorporates the bulk of the features of the Santana II guitar, without all the pricey woods and other upgrades.
Ultimate Santana Guitar Value?
It's still got a Maple top on a Mahogany body, but the flamed grain is not as prominent. While the look isn't quite as striking as the Santana II guitar, the sound is probably fairly similar. In addition, the Abalone Purfling on the top is gone. Again, this probably doesn't affect the tone, but certainly saves money in materials, and even more so in man-hours.
Another alteration is the headstock, which, while color-matched to the body, does not have a Rosewood overlay.
Classic Santana Guitar Neck
Like all the Paul Reed Smith Santana Guitars, the neck is the ubiquitous "Santana wide fat," but the fretboard radius has been returned to the more standard 10″ curvature. (For how this is calculated, imagine a 10″ circle, then take about 2″ of the outline: that's the top of the fretboard, viewed on end. As you can imagine, the larger the circle, the "flatter" that 2″ segment would be.)
The fretboard itself is listed as "East Indian" Rosewood, as opposed to "Brazilian" Rosewood. While maintaining much of the rich tonal response of Brazilian Rosewood, the East Indian Rosewood is more available, and, therefore, less expensive. (Brazilian Rosewood has been endangered for years, and is more costly and difficult to obtain.)
Other Santana Guitar Comparisons
One area in which PRS definitely did not cut back was the color selection; the Santana III is available in most of the same finishes as the Santana II. The tuning pegs are locking, but no longer Schallers, though still quite serviceable. Just like brand names at the grocery store, part of what you are paying for is the name.
Santana III Pickups
Paul Reed Smith has changed the description of the pickups to "Santana III's", and no longer describes them as having "Zebra bobbins" (Santana II) or "Zebra coils" (Santana I). They're also covered, which changes the look, and may actually protect the pickups from dust and other irritants.
PRS Santana III: The Workhorse
In short, Paul Reed Smith's Santana III guitar has most of the tone and playability of the Santana II, at less than half the cost. Which one is a better fit for you? It depends on your budget, and how plan to use the instrument.
At this point, however, all PRS Santana guitars have been discontinued, except for the Santana MD, the latest release from Carlos Santana and Paul Reed Smith.

Everyone outside of New England is wondering if there's a chance the NFL can give them four hours of their lives back.
The Patriots won the Super Bowl last night, something you would've noticed if you were able to stay awake during the lowest scoring SB in league history. A few New York newspapers certainly did and they were not thrilled about it.
The New York Post and New York Daily News blasted the snoozefest of a Super Bowl with two perfect headlines.
Super bored couldn't be more accurate.
The only way you can disagree with those headlines is if you love punting for some reason. We saw 14 total punts for 632 yards, the recipe for an extremely dull Super Bowl. It came to the point where people were asking for NBA trades to at least bring some sort of excitement to their evening.
It's not like people would've missed anything other than a punt if they had to look at a Woj Bomb during the game.
The New York Post doesn't have a leg to stand on, though. If the two teams from the Empire State could at least finish over .500, then they'd have a chance to put on a more entertaining show.

Using Media Literacy to Prevent the Dangers of Hoaxes and Intolerance among the Students of Universitas Negeri Semarang
Edi Kurniawana, Tri Marhaeni Pudji Astutib, Cahyo Budi Utomoc, Danang Junior Trimasukmanad, a,b,c,dFaculty of Social Science, Universitas Negeri Semarang,
In terms of diversity, Indonesia is a nation state that prides itself on being an irony. It is said to be proud because of the large variety of differentiations, which are viewed as a wealth as well as portraits of Indonesian multiculturalism. On the other hand, this diversity has become a disaster for the Indonesian people. Sectarian conflicts between ethnic groups, religions, races, groups, and beliefs can hardly be denied. The high number of conflicts and intolerance shows that there is still a low awareness of multiculturalism in Indonesia, as in the world. Importantly, intolerant bursts and frictions are sometimes triggered by mass media coverage. Inevitably, the neutrality of the media's attitude from various social, political and economic interests is increasingly being disputed, especially in the era of digital media, where many news hoaxes seem to immediately become viral. Within this condition, media literacy principles are needed in order to support the media literacy movement. This study aims to determine the level of media literacy abilities among UNNES students, how to develop media literacy principles to prevent the dangers of hoaxes and intolerance among students, and how to implement these principles. Study results showed that 18% of UNNES students had excellent media literacy abilities, 57% had good abilities, and 22% had moderate abilities, with 3% having poor abilities. The principles in media literacy are arranged in a hierarchy that also reflects the level of student ability in media literacy. The strategies that can be applied in implementing the literacy principles include using comprehensive strategies, through a special curriculum, embedding these implicitly in lecture activities, choosing the right media for students, increasing journalistic production for students' consumption, and community-based media literacy.

Towards Societal Engagement: Building Human Resilience by Engaging Communication about Flood Prone Areas
S. Thiruchelvama, Y.J. Ngb*, Norhayati Bte Mat Husinc, S.T. Chongd, Azrul Ghazalie, Ahmad Kamal Kadirf, a,b,c,d,e,fUniversiti Tenaga Nasional, Selangor, 43000, Malaysia, Email: b*yujin@uniten.edu.my
Societal engagement is defined as the direct and indirect interactions of social organisations and stakeholders-at-large, with government, various institutions and business establishments, with the aim of affecting decision making, or the achievement of a common goal. Economic development projects have brought about innumerable advantages, as well as many unfavourable effects upon vulnerable people, plus harm to natural resources. Human activities have often negatively impacted social and communal harmony, as well as contributed to the loss of human livelihood, the destruction of renewable resources, and have, at times, resulted in the loss of life itself. Engagement is a two-way relationship in which agencies, authorities, and key figures, seek and receive the views of the stakeholders for the betterment of the community. This paper aims to address how this group might assist the society in meeting the challenges of sustainable development, as well as promoting a readiness to face floods in their respective neighbourhoods. It can be concluded that most of the respondents believe that it is necessary for the utility company of Malaysia, "Tenaga Nasional Berhad" (TNB) to continuously improve their assets in order to reduce the risk of a disaster. However, when it comes to respondents' actions when facing a disaster, there seems to be no standardised course of action. This, therefore, identifies a need to further educate communities on the most effective course of action that can be taken when facing a disaster. The data obtained from the study contributes to the potential preparedness and preventive steps of the target community when facing potential hazards and can perhaps contribute to the development of a mitigation plan for further research and study.

Communicating the Keywords of Sendai Framework: A corpus-based approach

The Sendai Framework provides insights in terms of multiple levels of governance and recommendations on reduction of disaster risks. It is crucial that the essence of the framework is fully comprehended especially in communicating the priorities to various parties and stakeholders. The interpretation of the framework by various professional organisations, academia and stakeholders, for the purpose of planning and implementation, can be a challenging and laborious task. This paper will present an alternative perspective that simplifies the interpretation of knowledge dissemination (content analysis), especially when connecting the Sendai Framework key essence using a corpus-based approach. 'Keywords' will be used as a lens for community and stakeholders involved in disaster risk reduction planning or execution. This is achieved by a corpus-based investigation of the Sendai Framework Blueprint (official document). A keyword analysis was performed to identify words associated with the Sendai Framework core and of the potential pedagogic values therein. This paper suggests appropriate and continuous interpretation of the analysed content, in order to achieve improved disaster risk reduction communication within the community of stakeholders.

Holistic Review of a Performance Management System: Relevance, Literature Synthesising, Gaps, and Methodology Approach
Yong Yoke Toonga*, Joel Tham Kar Munb, Chong Aik Leec, a,bFaculty of Business and Law, International University of Malaya-Wales, cVP, Academic Affairs & Director of OBU, UCSI College,
This paper sets out to identify a comprehensive or holistic review of an organisation's performance management system (PMS) in light of advancements in performance evaluations. Even with plenty of research that touches on PMS, there is no comprehensiveness in literature synthesising, identification of the critical success factors (CSF) that affect PMS effectiveness, exhaustion of gaps identification, applicability to transformed multi-national corporations as moderated by organisational culture (OC), mediated by appraiser/appraisee factor, nor extended research methodology towards PMS advocating a mixed method sequential design of Quantitative-qualitative methods, and assessing the influence of both appraiser and appraisee through a dyadic approach for accurate real life assessment. The outcome of this review will contribute to and extend knowledge to existing PMS literature, as well as provide practical implications to the HRM practices who can then deliver such findings to the management, rather than vice-versa of management pushing more traditional thinking about PMS to them. This research has originality and value and will contribute to the current body of knowledge by building further theory and future research efforts. It will allow HRM practitioners to identify PMS to their management, rather than the management identifying what they think PMS is for HRM practitioners. Pages 46 to 65
Strategic Human Resource Practices and Organisational Culture in SMEs and Large Manufacturing Companies in Bahrain
Hashem Ali Issa Almuslamania, Salina Daudb, aCollege of Graduate Studies, Universiti Tenaga Nasional, Jalan IKRAM-UNITEN, 43000 Kajang, Selangor Darul Ehsan, Malaysia, bUniversiti Tenaga Nasional, Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Campus, 26700 Muadzam Shah, Pahang, Malaysia, Email: absalina@uniten.edu.my">hashem10@yahoo.com,bsalina@uniten.edu.my.
Strategic HR practices have faced several challenges in the manufacturing sector in Bahrain, such as a shortage of both quality employment and appropriate national skills, as well as many weaknesses existing in the organisational culture. Therefore, this study was motivated by the desire to examine the effects of strategic human resource (HR) practices on four types of organisational culture (clan culture, adhocracy culture, market culture, and hierarchy culture), in small, medium, and large manufacturing companies in Bahrain. A cross-sectional survey was utilised in this study using a self-administered questionnaire to collect data. The total number of usable questionnaires was 159, with a response rate of 75.4%. The findings indicated that strategic HR practices have significant and positive effects on the four types of organisational culture in small, medium and large companies in the manufacturing sector. The study resulted in several implications for researchers and decision makers to strengthen the relationship between strategic HR practices in a way that supports the organisational goals.

Using Interactive Media to Support Reading Skills among Underachieving Children
Noor Aini Ahmada, Khoo Yin YINb, a,bUniversiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris,
This article presents a literature review on improving reading skills, and recommendations for reading skills that prepare children for the world of tomorrow. Remediation should begin as soon as a child is diagnosed as having problems with reading. As the demand for digital know-how has dramatically increased in recent years, interactive media has become a basic tool in today's classroom. Children with weak working memory, and with difficulties in the rapid processing of information, need to be assisted to use digital literacy skills. Underachievers usually show a gap between their functional knowledge and performance potential. In order to prevent this gap from widening, underachievers are advised to work at their own functional level to overcome their deficits. Recommendations are made which are related to interventions that use interactive media as instructional material, and which may underscore an ability or desire to perform independently and more effectively. Three canvases for improving reading skills are suggested, namely, (1) creative canvas, (2) learning tools canvas and (3) reading skills service canvas. We conclude that there is a need for educators to move towards using interactive multimedia as an instructional tool in teaching and learning. Educators need to modify and re-design their educational curricula into an interactive learning environment that might reinforce and strengthen reading skills among underachievers. Pages 81 to 88

The focal point of this study is the investigation of the dynamic relationship between selected macroeconomic variables, including unemployment, inflation, interest rate and economic growth, in Malaysia. In order to achieve the aims of this study, quarterly time series data from the first quarter of 2001 until the fourth quarter of 2017 was utilised. The Johansen Juselius Co-integration test was used to investigate long run equilibrium in the equation system, and the Granger Causality test in Vector Error Correction framework was used to evaluate the long-term and short-term relationships between the study variables. The findings suggest that a relationship exists between the variables in the long term, including unemployment interest rate, inflation and economic growth across the system equations. The results further suggest that, in the short run, a two-way causality exists between unemployment and economic growth. Moreover, the results show that unemployment affects economic growth, both in the short and the long- term. By implication, this suggests the government should pay particular attention, in both the short and long term, to the unemployment rate, in order to bring this to a desirable level. In this respect unemployment can be reduced by enhancing employment opportunities throughout both governmental and private sectors of the country. Pages 89 to 94

This study is conducted to examine the relationship between green lifestyle among lower income group households and their spending pattern on green products. Compared to previous studies, the novelty of this study is important due to the increase in households' cost of living that is related to a spending pattern on non-green products. The rising cost of living among these households' groups may have its influence on green products in three aspects, namely consumer perception, practice level and willingness level. Therefore, this study focuses on monthly expenditure pattern of the lowest income group (B40) on green products. This study uses the quantitative approach through questionnaires distribution and employs a method of multiple linear regression models, in estimating the augmented consumer behaviour model. In general, the findings show a positive relationship between income and expenditure on green products. In other words, increase in income will lead consumers to buy more green products from the market. Moreover, the result demonstrates that the total monthly expenditure on green products is significantly affected by consumer perceptions and level of practice. On the other hand, level of willingness does not seem to be important with regard to green products' spending pattern. This study indirectly implies that users of green products will save on the cost of monthly spending in the long run. The study further suggests that long term use of green products among low-income groups (B40) will curtail overall households' expenses. Pages 95 to 104
Twenty-first Century Education: Are Malaysian Educators Ready for Implementation?

It has been argued that today's Malaysian graduates are lacking in possessing the very much needed 21st century workplace skills - critical thinking skills, problem-solving skills, and communication skills. Reports indicate that this could be due to the current education system that has not facilitated the educators' preparatory abilities to engage in 21st century teaching systems. Although most educators are equipped with pedagogical knowledge and have some professional training in teaching, the 21st century education demands, however, are more than merely teaching through chalk and talk. In the Malaysian Education Blueprint for Higher Education 2015 to 2025, ten shifts to transform conventional teaching were highlighted. While the blueprint provides a holistic overview of the Malaysian government's aspiration for the future workforce of this nation, questions such as whether old school educators are able to grip with the fast pace of technological advancement and whether institutions of learning are well-equipped to embrace the technology by means of the physical classroom environment and the virtual platform that is available for use today, is still evasive. This paper, therefore, intends to address the issues underlining the Malaysian educators' readiness for 21st century education bearing in mind the national education agenda and the students' techno-savvy abilities compared to their educators. Suggestions and recommendations are also discussed to provide for Malaysian educators who are better equipped to handle the changing scene of education in this 21st century. Pages 105 to 115

The behaviour of motorists at intersections is determined by the road and vehicle density studies. Changes in behaviour are also determined by the time for the green light to be crossed. Therefore, the aim of this project is to see the behaviour of motorists and be able to control traffic by controlling traffic lights at an intersection. This project will also get the right width of the road to reduce congestion, with software applications that are capable of engineering wide roads at every intersection. To determine the time of the green light, the number of vehicles must be determined in advance. The fuzzy logic method and the standard green time value (NWHS) will determine the green light time on the road. The development method is divided into four settings namely vehicle counting, line counting, the calculation process and road signals. This vehicle calculation method is further strengthened by determining the width of the road that will be available to reduce congestion. However, in producing high accuracy in the green time interval (MH), the Fuzzy Logic method is included as an additional parameter based on the solid ratio of the vehicle from each side of the road and the width of the road. Overall results show that vehicle drivers are based on vehicle density and road width, the denser the vehicle, the longer the green light is turned on, the more positive the driver's behaviour.

Cheryl P. Barredoa, aWestern Mindanao State College University, Baliwasan, Zamboanga City, Philippines, Email: acherylbarredo@yahoo.com,
This study attempted to determine the correlation between school principals' instructional supervision and teachers' efficacy in public elementary schools in Baliwasan District, Zamboanga City, Philippines. The survey questionnaires were used to gather data on school principals' instructional supervision and teachers' efficacy. Weighted Mean, Pearson product moment correlation coefficient and one-way analysis of variance were used in the analysis of data. The findings indicated that the elementary school teachers in Baliwasan District are bachelor's degree holders with a Master's units and a few of them are holders of Master's degree, Master's degree with doctorate units and are Doctor degree holders. The teachers manifested a great extent of their teaching efficacy in student engagement, instructional strategies, and classroom management. The instructional supervision of the principal is related to the teaching efficacy of the teachers regarding student engagement, instructional strategies, and classroom management. The teachers, regardless of educational attainment, length of service and grade level assignment, have a similar level of teaching efficacy regarding instructional strategies and classroom management. In the same way, teachers' teaching efficacy in terms/ of classroom management is similar when they are grouped according to the length of service and grade level assignment. However, teachers' teaching efficacy regarding student engagement differs when they are categorised according to educational attainment. Pages 135 to 146

The purpose of this study was to develop an instrument that measures the attitude of the Filipino high school students towards mathematics with reliable predictors and factors. Using the responses of 300 high school students from Zamboanga Sibugay, the validity and reliability of the Mathematics Attitude Scale (MAS) was tested using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and reliability analyses. The factor analysis showed that four factor-structures of the instrument of the mathematics attitude for high school students explained 27.48% of the variance in the pattern of relationships among the items. The Average Variance Extracted (AVE), Composite Reliability, and Cronbach's Alpha coefficients were reported and proved that the extracted constructs have obtained and satisfied convergent validity. Thirty-three items remained in the final questionnaire after deleting the twenty-seven items which had factor loadings of less than 0.4. The four-factor structure of the Mathematics Attitude Scale (MAS) has been confirmed through this study. Pages 147 to 162

Universities as learning organisations work to embed learning into their culture to adapt to changes and gain the competitive advantage over others. This descriptive study described the extent to which the seven dimensions of a learning organisation by Watkins and Marsick is practiced among the Universities in Zamboanga City. This study also established the statistically significant difference among the universities of Zamboanga City, Philippines based on the dimensions of a learning organisation. Data were obtained through a survey among 194 faculty members, interview of key informants such as deans and middle managers and focus group discussions among faculty and student leaders of the three Universities. Results of the study showed that the Universities in Zamboanga City were very satisfactory Learning Organisations and there is a statistically significant difference among the Universities in all dimensions except Team Learning and Collaboration as established by the Kruskal Wallis Test. Likewise, the organisational performance of each University is described to be very satisfactory. This study further determined through regression analysis and stepwise method that the dimensions System to Capture and Share Learning as well as Team Learning and Collaboration as the predictors of an organisational performance. This study proposed a Learning Organisation Framework as a guide for the Universities to help improve organisational performance. Through qualitative data, three elements were identified to contribute to the practice of the dimensions of learning organisation: (a) Organisational Characteristics which cover the type of University, leadership and leadership structures, financial resources, population and size; (b) Organisational Thrusts which include vision and mission, quality education, community service and values; and (c) the Organisational Learning Process which takes into account accreditation, research and faculty expertise. The three elements along with the practice of the dimensions and maximising the predictors were recommended to improve organisational structure. Pages 163 to 191

This study focuses on the development of a Decision Support System (DSS) for Universidad de Zamboanga in faculty ranking in its aim of promoting quality educators. Since faculty ranking appointment is a position based on hierarchy, there were four phases that were considered in the development of the project: first is modelling of the academic problem, the second is translating the modelled academic problem to prologue notations for generating facts, rules and queries for the ranking process; third is developing a system through prototyping and fourth is the testing and evaluation of the DSS. The DSS uses the technique of First Order Predicate Logic (FOPL) which is translated to prologue rules, facts and queries as a knowledge base in generating academic rank of a specific faculty based on the academic minimum requirements or points acquired. These rules, facts and queries are created through web-based interface by user inputs that is stored in a database using MySQL. Prologue was used as an inference engine to give the actual result wherein a set of data fields is asked by the system to be filled by the user. The DSS handles in the creation of academic ranks and points that makes it dynamic. The DSS generates reports as the actual rank of a faculty member based on minimum requirements or points as accumulated from the score sheet which has ranking criteria and percentage weights.

Roel F. Marciala, a Department of Political Science Western Mindanao State University Normal Road, Baliwasan, Zamboanga City, Email: aroelmarcial0501@gmail.com
Double enactment of roles, divorce, and separation were the dramatic findings in the study, Impact of the Siege on Women Survivors in Zamboanga City. It aimed to determine reproductive roles and socioeconomic effects utilising descriptive quantitative and qualitative-phenomenological design via FGDs among twenty (20) women survivors. There were in-depth interviews for five (5) key informants and community observation analysis on the two transitory sites. The study revealed that the poverty situation has increased recently due to loss of homes and socio-economic opportunities; continuous, increase of dropouts in elementary and secondary levels; and problems on public transport, expensive fare, and financial and economic setbacks. However, free water and electricity government supply obtained satisfactory impressions. Hence, the study recommends: first, massive and longitudinal livelihood programs and training may be conducted strengthening women's expansive and extensive development of skills, crafts, and sustainability in financial and socioeconomic demands; second, periodic monitoring-recording of students' drop-out are conducted, localized or redirected on nearest affected schools is an option; third, women serve as neutralisers-negotiators in any conflicts or peace deliberations; fourth, educate everyone on the symbiotic spouses roles of equity and equality to avoid "double enactment of roles" among women; lastly, an immense need for marital counselling services from psychologists or counsellors, lawyers, social workers, community developers, religious sectors, and NGOs is deemed for holistic healing and reconciliation process.

Rommel P. Laguatana*, Bren D. Abadb, a,bPresident Ramon Magsaysay State University – San Marcelino San Marcelino, Zambales 2207, Philippines, Email: a*laguatanrommel@gmail.com
Science education is a vital element of a country's progress. Hence, teachers of Science should be equipped with the indispensable skills to be able to effectively contribute to the development of functionally-literate and scientifically-minded citizens. This descriptive survey research determines the Science teachers' qualities which served as baseline information in the crafting of a faculty sustainability program. A total of 22 junior high school Science teachers purposively chosen from various public secondary schools of Southern Zambales, Philippines served as respondents of the study. The results of the inquiry indicate that the teachers' professional knowledge, professional practice and professional attributes are very evident. The study found out that Science teachers are less active in conducting action research and sharing the results with their colleagues. The study recommends that teachers could be encouraged to conduct action research at least annually in order to solve science pedagogy problems which would improve the quality of Science teaching in the country. Moreover, research outputs may be disseminated via fora, research colloquia and/or learning action cell (LAC). The developed faculty sustainability program is hereby recommended for implementation and further validation. Pages 232 to 249

This descriptive-survey study aims to ascertain the level of awareness and perceived relevance of pre-employment medical examinations of seafarers among maritime students in the University of Antique as a basis for a health intervention program. The data gathering instrument utilised for this study was a researcher-constructed survey questionnaire on pre-employment medical examinations of seafarers. The computer-processed statistics included means, frequency and rank for descriptive analysis, and the t-test for independent samples and for inferential analysis. The Alpha level for these samples was set at .05. The study found that maritime students had a generally high level of awareness on pre-employment medical examinations of seafarers and perceived that these examinations were relevant to seafaring duties. No significant difference existed between the students' level of awareness and their perceived relevance on pre-employment medical examinations of seafarers when classified according to maritime programs.

Rosario P. Noderamaa, aNorthern Iloilo Polytechnic State College Victorino Salcedo Campus, Philippines, Email: arosenoderama@yahoo.com
Higher learning institutions are implementing specialised review programs for students in order to improve licensure examination performance. This study examines the relevance of the Criminology Review Program of the Northern Iloilo Polytechnic State College at the Victorino Salcedo Campus in Sara, Iloilo, Philippines. Specifically, this descriptive survey-correlational study focuses on the influence of the respondents' profile to the relevance of the review program and the difficulty they have encountered in the examination. Research findings reveal no significant difference between the relevance of the review program and the respondents' profile. However, a significant difference is noted between the level of difficulty in the area of Law Enforcement Administration and the number of respondents taking the examination. Results also show a significant correlation between the relevance of the review program and the difficulty encountered in the actual board examination. It is concluded that the Criminology review program conducted by the NIPSC-VSC is a relevant tool in preparing students for the licensure examination. Pages 261 to 273

Starr Clyde L. Sebiala, aJH Cerilles State College Mati, San Miguel, Zamboanga del Sur, Philippines, Email: aclyde21g@gmail.com
The Philippines is one of the fastest growing economies in Southeast Asia and the Pacific. This study aims to explore and analyse the development of 17 Philippine regions according to eight key economic and social factors, including HEI PRC rate; crime rate; education; employment; health; poverty; income, and basic family amenities. Data is taken from the 2012 databases of the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS) and Open Data Philippines. The Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method was used to generate the indexes of six factors and Cluster Analysis (CA) was used to group the similarities of the regions. The clustering process revealed that ARMM and MIMAROPA regions have clustered independently in two individual clusters while the rest of the 15 regions have clustered in two groups of 5 and 10. The study reveals that crime, poverty and health mortality rates have generally inverse relationships with HEI PRC percentage performance, employment, education, income and basic housing amenities.

The Enduring Silence of Violence in the Nursing Workforce: An Emerging Phenomenon
Ma. Nelia P. Silloriqueza, aWest Visayas State University – College of Nursing, Iloilo City, Philippines Email: mnpsilloriquez@icloud.com
This phenomenological study aims to understand the lived experiences of nurses dealing with workplace violence in two tertiary hospital settings. Participants include nurses who had personally experienced two or more instances of bullying behaviour within the workplace and whose job statuses were classed as regular, casual, or job hired. Transcribed data collected form interviews with these participants revealed five common themes, including (a) "Workplace violence happens to anyone": workplace violence is becoming rampant in the health care industry; (b) "Damaging circumstances surround the nursing profession": impacts of the workplace for nurses; (c) "Unpleasant experiences are better forgotten": how nurses survive workplace violence; (d) "I am a Nurse and I stand by my profession": why nurses opted to stay despite their workplace violence experiences, and (e) "I long for a better workplace": striving for better working environments for nurses. These interviews reveal that informants experienced unforgotten disruptive behaviours like fear, frustration, verbal abuse, humiliation, threats and abuse of power, resulting in helplessness and demoralisation that directly affected nurses' feelings of dignity and self-respect. These legitimate occupational issues within the nursing workplace require attention and subsequent intervention to discontinue the silence surrounding healthcare workplace violence. Pages 292 to 309
EIC Students' Views on Factors Affecting their English Speaking in the ES1 course
Sawitri Suwanaroaa, aFaculty of Business administration and Liberal Arts, Rajamagala University of Technology Lanna Tak, Thailand, Email: asawitri_75@yahoo.com
In Thailand, English is the number one foreign language and is regarded as an essential communicative tool in terms of education, career advancement, international trade, medicine and entertainment. Although extensive attempts have been made to reform the English language curriculum, many Thai learners' English abilities are below required standards, particularly in terms of communicative competence. This study therefore aims to investigate English for International Communication students' (EIC) views on the factors affecting their learning in the English Speaking 1 course at Rajamagala University of Technology Lanna Tak campus (RMUTL). Data collection instruments consisted of two parts: 1) questionnaire surveys to elicit 25 EIC students' views on the internal and external factors which were analysed by adapting the SPTES model (speaking model), and 2) a student focus group interview. Following the mixed-methods design, the the Friedman test was used to analyse quantitative data and determine the mean rating while qualitative data was examined through content analysis. Findings show that EIC students' views on factors effect of their learning in ES1 were to a large extent shaped by their beliefs in practice on language-based exercises. They focused on difficulty in language knowledge, such as English vocabulary and pronunciation, and a lack of other internal factors like topical knowledge, strategic competence, affective factors and personal characteristics.

English Native Lecturers' Perspectives and Concerns in Teaching the English Speaking 1 Course at RMUTL Tak Campus
English is a compulsory course in Thailand's education system and is considered a vital skill worthy of continued investigation. English language speaking is a particularly important communication skill in Thailand and is widely used in many essential areas. Despite this, many Thai students are incapable of accurately and appropriately using English in daily life. This study therefore aims to investigate the teaching approach adopted for the English Speaking 1 course (ES1) at the Rajamagala University of Technology Lanna Tak campus (RMUTL). The lecturers' perceptions of the English for International Communication students' (EIC) performances in ES1 will also be examined through two data-collection instruments: a questionnaire survey to identify lecturers' perceptions and concerns, and in-depth interviews conducted with lecturers of the ES1 course. The study features a mixed-method research design, with quantitative data analysis conducted through factor analysis and qualitative data through content analysis. Findings have shown that lecturers' views on EIC students in the ES1 course were divided into three factors: mediation provided in ES1, insufficient provisions in ES1 and students' self-efficacy in ES1. Regarding mediation provided in ES1, lecturers were more concerned about finding appropriate activities than about creating effective classroom environments. For insufficient provisions in ES1, lecturers reported aversions to traditional grammar-focused teaching approaches, although they did try to cater for students' needs to practice English pronunciation. Students' self-efficacy levels were also confirmed by lecturers, with reports of shyness and fear of making mistakes in the ES1 course. Pages 333 to 351

Danilo V. Rogayana, aFaculty, College of Education, Arts & Sciences, President Ramon Magsaysay State University - San Marcelino Campus, Philippines, Email: adanrogayan@prmsu.edu.ph
Graduates' retrospective program evaluations can provide relevant and reliable feedback on an institutions' performance in delivering quality instruction and services to its students. This descriptive survey research ascertains graduates' evaluations of science education program areas, including curriculum adequacy and relevance. Study participants comprised of 49 science education graduates of academic years between 2008 and 2018 who were comprehensively sampled from a state university in Central Luzon in the Philippines. A modified online survey questionnaire and an interview guide served as the main data gathering tools. Descriptive and inferential statistics and thematic analysis were used to treat quantitative and qualitative data respectively. Results revealed that the graduate respondents evaluated 10 areas of the science education program as good, indicating that the program outcomes were adequate and relevant. Moreover, the respondents provided varied suggestions for improvement of the science education curriculum. These suggestions include enhancements in instructional resources; pedagogical practice and capability; curriculum content; students' scientific literacy, and research competence. A significant positive high correlation was found between program outcomes' adequacy and relevance. The study therefore concludes that the science education program offered by the university is good, adequate and relevant. An intensive curriculum review may be considered by the university to align the program and course intended learning outcomes to the 21st Century learning landscape and to keep up with technological demands of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (FIRe).
