BKK Architects is a great architectural firm based out of Melbourne, Australia (the house itself is located in Victoria). It seems a number of their residential projects utilize wood and lots of it. The vertical wall planks of the first few photos and slabs of rock of the chimney faintly remind me of mid-century housing.
I would do anything for a house with a view like that.
It might be some kind of server problem, or even some problem on my side, but a lot of the pictures in the posts here are showing glitchy lately.
Yeah Chester, its in Victoria, Australia. Must be a beautiful place.
The first picture makes this house look like a spaceship of some sort. At least, that's what I would hope it to be if this was my own house.

The U.S. Navy's Best-kept Secret - Strategic Sealift Officers
Story by Petty Officer 1st Class Kyle Steckler
Navy Public Affairs Support Element East Detachment Europe
Since it's establishment in 1915, the U.S. Navy Reserve has grown to be a dependable, worldwide force of nearly 100,000 Reserve Sailor including more than 57,000 Selected Reservists.
Reservists serve in nearly every capacity as active-duty counterparts. At any given time, there are an estimated 3,000 mobilized Reservists serving around the world. But there's one corner of the Navy Reserve world that isn't often talked about; the strategic sealift officer.
A counterpart to the Navy's Military Sealift Command, SSOs are commissioned officers in the Navy Reserve assigned to reserve U.S. Naval activities that support strategic sealift in times of national defense or emergency.
The Spearhead-class expeditionary fast transport ship USNS Carson City currently has four SSOs serving aboard the ship.
In the five years since graduating from the United States Merchant Marine Academy located in King's Point, New York, Carson City's navigator and operations officer, Second Mate Chris Scott, has gained the knowledge and experience necessary to be the subject matter expert the U.S. Navy is looking for.
Scott graduated in 2013 after four years at the academy. Upon graduation, he was commissioned as an ensign in the Navy Reserve; however, his journey from USMMA cadet to now Second Mate aboard an expeditionary fast transport ship started in high school.
"I first heard about the academy probably my sophomore year of high school," said Scott. "I'm from a land-locked state, specifically Wichita, Kansas, so there aren't any navigable waterways near me. The Mississippi River is hundreds of miles away for instance, so I'm asked all the time how I found my way to King's Point, New York, going to a maritime academy."
Scott said that after spending his summers on the Gulf Coast with his father, he knew early on he wanted to be on the water.
"Originally, I wanted to be a marine biologist," said Scott. "So I looked into colleges with good programs, and with the costs of tuition and things like that, I realized it was a bit of a pipe dream for me. Scholarship money just wasn't there for someone in Kansas wanting to pursue a maritime career."
He said he then considered joining the military, but in his research, he stumbled upon USMMA.
"About two months later, I saw a letter come through from [USMMA] saying they would love to have me come swim for them," said Scott. "So I already knew about the school from research, but around then I knew I needed to start being a little more serious about where I wanted to go to college. After receiving that letter, I thought to myself, 'Wait a minute, this could actually work.'"
Scott started doing more research. After talking to some of his father's friends who are prior military about their academy experiences, he said he became very interested in the options going to the merchant marine academy would offer him.
"I could go active duty military or I could sail for a living," said Scott. "Stuff like that. Then I could also swim at school. It just seemed right for me. It all lined up."
Scott was accepted to USMMA and four years later was not only a commissioned ensign in the United States Navy Reserve, he was about to embark on another journey.
"After graduating, I took a job with [Military Sealift Command] as a third mate in September 2013," said Scott. "Five years later, and I'm still loving it."
Carson City's chief mate and first officer Roshenda Jospehs, another USMMA graduate who took a path similar to that of Scott's, said that though being a mate in MSC is her day job, she still learns many things in her capacity as a lieutenant in the Navy Reserve.
"The most impactful ADT for me was when I acted as a force protection officer in Subic Bay in the Philippines," said Josephs, referring to required, annual Active Duty for Training period all Reservists must complete. "I say that because I was, as a Reservist, working directly with MSC ships."
The fact that strategic service officers like Josephs work in a civilian job field so closely related to their Reserve service focuses on one of Vice Adm. Luke M. McCollum's, the chief of Navy Reserve and commander, Navy Reserve Force, "Ready to Win" initiatives – innovation. The idea being Reservists can use one part of their life to inform the other, bringing the best of both worlds together, creating a more impactful Sailor.
"While I was in Subic Bay, we would go on every single commercial, MSC or Navy ship that came into the port and would conduct force protection spot checks or force protection assessments, said Joseph. "I was the auditor for the Navy side back then, but now that I'm a chief mate for MSC, now I have to provide those reports to the force protection action officer."
Josephs graduated from the USMMA in 2013, the same year as Scott. She said she was initially approached by basketball coaches from the academy after a game. Six months after the meeting, she scheduled an overnight visit and liked what she saw.
"The main reason I wanted to go to the academy is because it's very structured," said Josephs. "It's a military academy. I felt like transitioning from high school to college can go two different ways; you can either find a structured path and follow that or you can just blow with the wind. I didn't want a chance of blowing with the wind in a typical college environment. I decided to put myself in a situation where I didn't have a choice."
Four years later and Josephs found herself with not only a degree (IN WHAT?), but also a job with Military Sealift Command as a civil service mariner.
Attending USMMA isn't the only way to become an SSO. Carson City's captain, Jonathan Keffer, an SSO commander and 13-year MSC civil service mariner, became an SSO after serving on active duty for more than eight years and attending State University of New York Maritime College.
Keffer was stationed aboard the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer USS Donald Cook from 2001-2004 as a surface warfare officer (SWO) and participated in some of the earliest operations as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom. The SWO lifestyle began to take its toll on him, though.
"Because I had gone to a maritime college, and a lot of my colleagues who graduated around the year 2000 had been hired by Military Sealift Command, they were doing a lot more professional, unencumbered work that was much different than the Navy surface warfare culture I was used to," said Keffer. "They were getting promoted and were getting much more direct experience as commercial mariners. That was really appealing to me."
He said he saw the work that Military Sealift Command was doing and decided that it was the culture and career he'd rather pursue.
"There are several aspects of MSC that make it rewarding," said Keffer. "Professionally, as an individual mariner, you are expected to show up to a ship, learn the job, do the job, gain experience, perform and be well rounded. In the course of six years, I was able to go from third mate to temporary ship's master. So the opportunity with Military Sealift Command to go and learn and excel is much more individual compared to my experience as a junior officer in the surface warfare community."
Another thing that Keffer said attracted him to the MSC lifestyle is how it benefits his family.
"My family lives in one place," he said. "My children are growing up in one place. I don't have to pack them up and move them every two to three years for a 20-30 year Navy career. I deploy all around the world to any ship, any ocean, but my family has continuity."
Keffer said that working for MSC isn't all roses, though. MSC schedules typically see civil service mariners working a minimum of four months at sea and up to two months of time ashore. That means that, at a minimum, he's gone on average eight months a year.
"My family is used to the lifestyle," said Keffer. "My kids have been raised that way. It's not for everyone, though. An old, grey-bearded captain once told me, 'It's a hard life, but it's a good life.'"
In a world where it can sometimes be difficult to find a job, attending a maritime academy with an interest in finding a job with Military Sealift Command isn't a bad roll of the dice.
"After graduation, I'd say about 90 percent of us already had a job lined up, which is huge," said Josephs. "The December before we graduated, I had already been offered a job by MSC."
Josephs said she was in the first new employee orientation she could take after graduation, so after taking the summer off, she reported for her initial MSC training.
"We did about nine weeks of training, which started in Norfolk, Virginia, and we completed the training in Earl, New Jersey," she said. "We took classes like small-arms training and firefighting, some safety classes, all the basics that someone needs to get on their first ship. When I finished, I went to the "pool," where I waited for an assignment. I waited maybe two weeks before I was assigned my first ship, USNS Joshua Humphreys."
Similarly, Scott said his career as an MSC mate has been able to translate directly to his naval service as well. He was able to help a new expeditionary high-speed transport with important preparation for one of the last pieces necessary for MSC to take control of the ship.
"During my last ADT, one of the things I did was assist the navigator and boatswain on board USNS City of Bismarck with mock Final Contract Trial STAED sheets," said Scott about Sea Trial Agenda Event Description sheets as part of the final demonstration of ship's capabilities prior to the end of the contractor warranty period.
Due to his previous experience working with Military Sealift Command and while serving in the capacity of a Navy Reservist, Scott was able to personally help another ship with a difficult transition period as a ship begins to be fully handed over to the Navy.
"Almost everything we do as civil service mariners translates to some part of being a Reservist," said Scott. "Whether its calculating stability, planning an upcoming voyage, standing watch, or knowing how to manage my time, they are all skills paramount in times of emergency or national defense when you're called upon to serve."
Both Josephs and Scott agree that the life of a civil service mariner and a strategic sealift officer is not an easy one, but Scott did have some advice for those considering a career as a mariner by way of the USMMA.
"To put it bluntly, it's a roller coaster ride from start to finish," said Scott. "It's not going to be easy, and no one gets through it alone. In my career field, you will get to see, meet and experience places that people dream about traveling to. It's a job that is out of the ordinary, but it's worth it. In the end, like I did, you will look back at the whirlwind of events that transpired for four years and say 'it was worth it.'"

I wrote this article many years back for the Writer's Guild's (now defunct) blog, Project Backspace, in SPi.
The decision of Jim Paredes in 2005 to migrate to Australia with his family left me flabbergasted. I thought this would surely be APO Hiking Society's final bow. The first bow was in 1998 when their show, Sa Linggo nAPO Sila, which ran for only three years went off the air. Just like other artists who became famous and simply disappeared into thin air, I thought I won't be seeing them after conceding defeat to their noontime show rival. I was really saddened by the first. I was about to surrender my high hopes after the second.
I had not told anyone else until today that yes, I am an avid fan of Danny Javier, Buboy Garovillo and Jim Parades, more known as the APO Hiking Society, since I heard their song Batang-Bata Ka Pa the first time when I was seven. I had been very discreet about this, fearing I'd be stigmatized by my peers as being baduy or old-fashioned. Finally, I've found the source of strength to say it all today when the Kami nAPO Muna: Tribute to APO Hiking Society album was released!
It is said that never shall the twain meet but this album simply disproved that. It is really like bringing the legends and the newbies to meet halfway. This 2-CD tribute album comes not only with a compilation of renditions of today's famous rock bands, but also with another CD showcasing the original versions of APO, albeit digitally re-mastered. Interestingly enough, the "new age" CD is designed with repetitive illustrations of Danny's, Jim's and Buboy's faces superimposed on a blood red background while the "premiere" CD is in black and gold colors. This was done for the benefit of younger audiences who may not be familiar with APO music. The compilation suggests listening to the black CD first before they move on and headbang to their idol band's versions. No matter how excited you may be to check out Parokya ni Edgar, Kitchie Nadal, or The Dawn's versions in the album, I highly recommend you play the original version first. Iba pa rin ang orig!
Performing popular songs with a new twist would have been easy but not if it is a tribute to OPM icons like the APO. Anything less would be an insult to them and to APO diehards like me. The album, overall, has achieved its utmost purpose of paying tribute without compromising the unique stylistics of each band. Kamikazee, for that matter, keeps its unruly and stubborn performance style of singing Doo Bidoo. At the same time, they keep some differential sparks that APO was known for—the feel-good, at times perky tempo, their voices unified in oftentimes satirical yet optimistic interplay of trials and triumphs inherent in the lyrics.
For more top picks, Orange and Lemons' version of Yakap sa Dilim was a hit with me. This band can truly render their listeners breathless while listening to their own rendition of this APO classic hit. Even the distinct 70's sound of this song has so enamored Orange and Lemons that they could have done this tribute as a solo gig. Itchiworm's attempts at combining varying music genres plus the very candid and funny dialogues with peers while performing all paid off in giving justice to Awit ng Barkada. Doo Bidoo is a trademark hit of APO; thus the version that Kamikaze came out with was likewise spiced with expected wackiness and hilarity, very entertaining and was done in good taste! Kitchie Nadal, on the other hand, gives a soothing, feel-good rendition of Pag-ibig. Barbie Almalbis experiments as she applies her distinct singing style to the only English APO song included in the album, When I Met You.
Truly, the APO Hiking Society is a story of three brave souls who have taken risks in their musical and personal lives to write and perform their songs even if fear, apprehensions, and frustrations came along their way. As fate would have it, they also are the best mentors to the young bands featured in the album who are lucky enough to be inheritors of these immortal APO songs. As one of the possibly few younger people who admire their work, I salute Danny, Buboy and Jim for bringing to life songs which have given color to our lives.

Attorney Client Privilege Waiver
2 Attorney-Client Privilege
3 Waiver of Attorney-Client Privilege
3.1 Statutory Waiver
3.2 Implied Waiver
3.2.1 Waiver When Counsel's State of Mind Is Placed In Issue
3.2.2 No Waiver When Only the Party's State of Mind Is Placed In Issue
"The attorney-client privilege has been a hallmark of Anglo-American jurisprudence for almost 400 years. . . . While it is perhaps somewhat of a hyperbole to refer to the attorney-client privilege as 'sacred,' it is clearly one which our judicial system has carefully safeguarded with only a few specific exceptions."[1] However, the privilege may be waived expressly or impliedly.
Attorney-Client Privilege
"[T]he client . . . has a privilege to refuse to disclose, and to prevent another from disclosing, a confidential communication between client and lawyer."[2]
Waiver of Attorney-Client Privilege
The attorney-client privilege may be waived expressly or impliedly. "[T]he attorney-client privilege [does] not apply without qualification where . . . the client's dominant purpose in retaining the attorney was something other than the request for a legal opinion or advice."[3] "[T]he person or entity seeking to discover privileged information can show waiver by demonstrating that the client has put the otherwise privileged communication directly at issue and that disclosure is essential for a fair adjudication of the action."[4] "However, an insurer does not waive the attorney-client privilege where it is not defending itself on the basis of the advice it received."[5]
Statutory Waiver
"[T]he right of any person to claim lawyer-client privilege is waived with respect to a communication protected by the privilege if any holder of the privilege, without coercion, has disclosed a significant part of the communication or has consented to disclosure made by anyone. Consent to disclosure is manifested by any statement or other conduct of the holder of the privilege indicating consent to the disclosure, including failure to claim the privilege in any proceeding in which the holder has the legal standing and opportunity to claim the privilege."[6] "The privilege may be waived impliedly or by disclosure of the subject communication. The privilege is waived with respect to a protected communication if any holder of the privilege voluntarily discloses a significant part of the communication or has consented to such disclosure made by anyone. What constitutes a significant part of the communication is a matter of judicial interpretation; however, the scope of the waiver should be determined primarily by reference to the purpose of the privilege."[7] "Relatively few reported cases interpret" the applicable provision of the evidence code.[8]
"Relevant case law makes it clear that mere disclosure of the fact that a communication between client and attorney had occurred does not amount to disclosure of the specific content of that communication, and as such does not necessarily constitute a waiver of the privilege.
[P]laintiff's answers, while revealing the existence of her attorney-client relationship, at most affirmed that she had discussed certain warnings with her attorneys, and in no way revealed a significant part of the substance of those discussions."[9]
"The attorney-client privilege seeks to protect the conversations and communications between the attorney and client, not merely the conclusions developed by those conversations or the fact that such conversations occurred. Accordingly, we conclude that [a client's] disclosure of the fact of its attorneys' review of [a matter in controversy] and the conclusions arrived at by its attorneys to [others] was not an express waiver of the attorney-client privilege.[10]
"An important consideration in assessing the issue of waiver is fairness. Thus, a party may not insist on the protection of the attorney-client privilege for damaging communications while disclosing other selected communications because they are self-serving. Voluntary disclosure of part of a privileged communication is a waiver as to the remainder of the privileged communication about the same subject."[11]
Implied Waiver
The California Supreme Court "recognized this theory of an implied waiver . . . and established that the person or entity seeking to discover privileged information can show waiver by demonstrating that the client has put the otherwise privileged communication directly at issue and that disclosure is essential for a fair adjudication of the action."[12] "The privilege may also be impliedly waived where a party to a lawsuit places into issue a matter that is normally privileged. It is said that in that case the gravamen of the lawsuit is so inconsistent with the continued assertion of the privilege as to compel the conclusion that the privilege has in fact been waived. The scope of either a statutory or implied waiver is narrowly defined and the information required to be disclosed must fit strictly within the confines of the waiver."[13]
Waiver When Counsel's State of Mind Is Placed In Issue
"Generally, implied waivers are limited to situations where the client has placed into issue the decisions, conclusions, and mental state of the attorney who will be called as a witness to prove such matters. Generally, too, the deliberate injection of the advice of counsel into a case waives the attorney-client privilege as to communications and documents relating to the advice. However, an insurer does not waive the attorney-client privilege where it is not defending itself on the basis of the advice it received."[14] "The deliberate injection of the advice of counsel into a case waives the attorney-client privilege as to communications and documents relating to the advice."[15] Waiver occurs when "the [party] specifically put in issue his counsel's state of mind, [but not when] it was only the [party]'s knowledge which was placed in issue."[16] Implied waiver is "limited in its application to the one situation in which a client has placed in issue the decisions, conclusions, and mental state of the attorney.[17] Waiver is clear where the attorney "will be called as a witness to prove such matters."[18] "[A] defendant impliedly waived its attorney-client privilege when it indicated its intent to call its attorneys as witnesses."[19]
However, no reported California opinion clarifies whether the attorney must testify in person or by correspondence. Thus, waiver may occur when the insurer seeks to introduce into evidence letters from its counsel. Such letters may effectively constitute direct examination of the lawyer without the opportunity to cross-examine. The insurer may be placed to a choice whether to forego admitting lawyer letters into evidence or waive the attorney-client privilege.
No Waiver When Only the Party's State of Mind Is Placed In Issue
"[T]he fact that [the insurer]'s state of mind was at issue in the insured's bad faith action did not place in issue its attorneys' state of mind or their advice. [T]here is no 'waiver of the attorney-client privilege where the substance of the protected communication is not itself tendered in issue, but instead simply represents one of several forms of indirect evidence in the matter.'"[20] "Privileged communications do not become discoverable simply because they are related to issues raised in the litigation."[21]
In one reported opinion, the insurer received advice from its lawyers, but did not claim that its decision was based upon the lawyer's advice. The insurer "is not in fact relying on an 'advice of counsel' defense. [The insurer] claims it acted as it did not because it was advised to do so, but because the advice was, in its view, correct; and it is prepared to defend itself on the basis of that asserted correctness rather than the mere fact of the advice. Such a defense does not waive the attorney-client privilege."[22]

School building of A588 Gr.A weathering steel building in Stockholm
The base is located on a triangular plot on the KTH campus, with a strong cultural and historical atmosphere. The new A588 Gr.A Weathering Steel Academy building sits in an existing courtyard, adjacent to a red brick building designed by Erik Lallerstedt in the early 20th century.
The KTH campus site, with its very tangible cultural and historical background, and its physical limitations, can be described as the opposite of a white board (Tabula Rasa). The new school inserts the existing A588 Gr.B weathering steel courtyard space and existing paths, located in Eric Clarestedt adjacent to the original and fairly immortal brick building from the early 20th century.
The overall layout of the campus is relatively loose. Based on the same logic, the architect designed an A588 Gr.A weathering steel building with a round shape and a free plane. The new college and base are more harmoniously integrated. The six-story teaching building includes a roof terrace and a sunken courtyard with continuous space. The Corten Steel façade echoes the surrounding dark red brick buildings.
The interior design of the A588 Gr.A weathering steel building is very flexible. The curved wall encloses a free-flowing continuous weathering steel space, creating an atmosphere that is open rather than closed. The architect's careful design of the interior paths and windows is more like a landscape project than a traditional college building. At the entrance level, the spacious foyer can also be used as an open lecture hall. The architect also designed a series of two-story studios and exhibition halls. The corten steel exterior walls of these functional spaces enclose flexible corridor spaces.
The interior design of the weathering steel building is sturdy and flexible. The curved walls create a free flow of continuous space, enhancing the sense of openness rather than closedness. Landscapes and paths are expanded through structures, and the spatial conditions are more similar to landscapes than to traditional institutional buildings.

An earlier version of this article incorrectly referred to Jeremy Grantham as the current chairman of GMO. He is the former chairman.
Jeremy Grantham in Oxford, England, in 2012.
Since 2000, investors could have done very well imitating the investment fund GMO. Will the streak continue?
Is the stock market really just guesswork, as so many people allege? Can you really not "beat" the indices? Would you really be better off just throwing darts at a list of stocks?
New research looks at some of the most widely-respected stock market forecasts available on Wall Street — those published monthly by Boston-based white shoe fund firm GMO. And it finds that they have actually been pretty good.
Since 2000 GMO, whose chief investment strategist and former chairman is Jeremy Grantham, has published "medium-term" forecasts for various classes of stocks — U.S. large and small caps, international large and small caps, and emerging market stocks. Initially the firm sought to predict the likely returns for each class, adjusted for inflation, over the following 10 years, but they soon moved to a seven-year horizon.
The forecasts, which are updated monthly, are based on some simple economics. Essentially, GMO looks at valuations, and assumes some kind of reversion to long-term averages.
Professor Edward Tower of Duke University, assisted by students David Barry and Edward Stansky, went back to 2000 and looked at GMO's forecasts from that and subsequent years, and then compared them with the subsequent seven-year returns, adjusted for inflation.
What did they find? GMO has been pretty good at predicting which groups of stocks would do best over the subsequent seven years. And it has been even better at predicting whether markets overall would do well or badly.
Let's imagine that back in 2000 you had decided to follow GMO's advice. You invested your portfolio equally in the three classes of stocks it liked best. Then, every quarter, you checked their forecasts and adjusted your portfolio accordingly to keep yourself invested equally in their top three classes of stocks.
How would you have done? Over the past 14 years you would have doubled your money in real, inflation-adjusted dollars, a compound annual real return of 5.5%. By contrast, if you'd invested in the S&P 500 index you'd be up a total of just 22% after inflation. The GMO strategy trailed emerging-markets and small-cap stocks over that period, but it beat U.S. and international large caps.
Curiously, the Duke researchers found that over the past 14 years you would have done better to invest in GMO's third favorite group of stocks at any given moment, rather than its first or second favorite.
Maybe this is just a fluke. Maybe this is just a snapshot in time. GMO is a value-oriented investment firm, and 2000 was the moment when value stocks were their cheapest, relative to growth stocks, in modern history. There are no guarantees these forecasts will do as well in the future.
GMO's Grantham famously warned about the impending crashes of 2000-03 and 2007-09. And during the depths of the financial crisis in 2008-09 he also, famously, defied the doomsayers and turned aggressively bullish.
GMO's record has looked less good in the past few years. It has been warning about stock market valuations, especially in the U.S., for at least two years, but so far markets have kept going up and up. Many value investors argue that we are in the midst of another bubble, largely driven by Federal Reserve policies, and that this will follow the course of the previous two sooner or later.
Today GMO's three favorite classes of stocks are what it calls Emerging Markets, U.S. High Quality (a new category not included in the Duke research, as GMO did not follow it as far back as the others), and International Large Caps, meaning the EAFE (Europe, Australasia and Far East) index.
"U.S. High Quality" refers to blue-chip stocks with strong balance sheets, cash flow and franchises. Investors can buy all three of these sectors with low-cost ETFs — including iShares MSCI US Quality Factor QUAL, -0.01% .
However, the Duke research also found that GMO was better at predicting the overall returns from stocks than it was at predicting returns for one class of stocks versus another. And in that light it is worth noting that GMO's forecasts today are very gloomy indeed. It predicts negative real returns for U.S. large and small caps, and barely positive real returns for international stocks. It also thinks real returns will be poor from bonds.


Where are you supposed to start? The Philippines is one of the most mesmerizing places to visit in Asia, and is often defined by its emerald fields, volcanoes, ghost monkeys and happy people. The Filipino people has a view of life that the rest of us could learn from. Singing, dancing and just pure joy is at the centre of their being.
You will L.O.V.E Manila if you like big cities. It's not without reason Manila is called 'The Pearl of the Orient'. You can experience colonial sights like Casa Manila and Fort Santiago or get a taste of how the city has flourished to an independent Philippines at the Museum of the Filipino. Go watch international music performances at the SM Mall of Asia Concert Hall or dance all night to Filipino rhythms on Revel or Valkyrie. Modern Manila is a mix of great colonial churches, galleries, museums and night life that united creates a wonderful holiday destination.
Manila was the capital of the Spanish Philippines for centuries and became one of the richest cities in the empire. Today you can explore the rich heritage by reconstructed colonial homes like Casa Manila, the forts in Fort Santiago and over-the-top palaces like Malacanang.
When you are in the Philippines you just have to try Lumpia and Adobo at Café Juanita! And obviously a Mango Float.
From the sophisticated style of the city to the unspoiled white beaches, it's not difficult to understand why Cebu is such a popular destination. It's a place that combines history with a glamorous feel and a nightlife in a lush natural environment. You may be surprised by the Latin flavour you will meet in some parts of the city, but with Spanish colonization, Cebu was an early outlet for trade between the Philippines and Mexico. Put all those ingredients together and Cebu boasts of rich environment, culture and food you can indulge in!
Make the most of Cebu Island by enjoying it from the ocean, including the white beach on Larawan Beach in nearby Talisay City and Marigondon Beach on Mactan Island. Along with the relaxing beach life you can dive to explore the coral reefs and enjoy the best fishing spots in Asia.
Cebu is Philippine's oldest city, and you will find an abundance of attractions that pulls you close to its history. Magellan's Cross was originally planted in downtown Cebu in 1521, and you can stroll down Colon Street which is the oldest street in all of Philippines.
Luxuriously located between Luzon and Palawan is Mindoro. Most of the activities for travellers take place in the North-eastern part of the Island where there are great opportunities for scuba diving, beach bars and a range of exclusive and relaxing accommodation. If you move more towards inland Mindoro, you will find Mount Halcon and Mount Baco which is perfect for keen hikers! Mindoro is also the home of the rare Mindoro Dwarf Buffalo. Ask one of the locals where you can spot them.
The largest coral reef in the Philippines is located off the coast of Mindoro. The coral reef of 34 sqm is protected by the government, which means no large ships come in and damage the coral reef nor interfere with wildlife. This makes the Apo Reef a spectacular place to snorkel. You will see the richest collection of wildlife that you may not see elsewhere, including Giant Napoleon Wrasse fish. Just watch out for the Trigger Fish who likes to chase you away from their nests.
The climate in the Philippines is tropical with high humidity and temperatures of around 27 degrees throughout the year. In the highlands it is not quite as hot and humid. The climate can be divided into drying times from January to June and rainy season from July to December. The weather is most comfortable at the beginning of the drying season and it gets warmer after March. This is also the time when there is the least risk of being exposed to a typhoon.


« Small Dogs…King of the Castle!
Your dog starts barking for no reason and your immediate reaction is to tell him to stop, or even raise your voice to him. You'll soon find out that this doesn't work and can actually make the problem worse. The dog can also see your attention as a reward. Whenever it is possible, ignore your dog when he starts barking for no apparent reason.
If your dog starts barking, don't even look at him. Make sure there is no eye contact, turn your back until he quiets down. As soon as he stops, give him a treat and praise him.
After your dog learns that he is being rewarded for being quiet, you can start to lengthen the time that he needs to be quiet before receiving a treat.
This method works best outside of your home. Try in on walks or when visiting friends.
Many apartment complexes allow pets but when a dog is constantly barking, this can cause problems with the neighbors and the landlord.

There was a time when 1080p upscaling was only found on expensive high-end DVD players, but now it's as common as progressive scan or MP3 playback. Upscaling players are getting cheaper all the time, which is great news considering the growing number of Full HD flat-panel TV sets on the market, as it means you can prolong the life of your DVD collection without having to pay through the nose.
The DVP3980/05 is a perfect example of how ubiquitous the feature has become. The player, which sits between the DVP5980 and DVP3120/05 in the company's range, costs around £50 but can upscale DVDs to 720p, 1080i and 1080p and offers a decent range of other features that could make it a real bargain if performance is up to scratch.
After pulling the player out of the box, the most striking aspect is just how light and compact it is. The case measures just 36cm wide and 3.7cm high, which means it'll slip into your AV cabinet virtually unnoticed, and makes it a prime candidate for kitchen or bedroom use. Despite not having much to work with, Philips has fashioned an attractive unit with an all black finish and minimal fascia that includes just four buttons, plus a basic four-digit display panel. One notable absentee from the front panel is a USB port, which limits its multimedia potential to CDs and DVDs, but if you want this connection it can be found on the step-up DVP5980.
As for rear connections, flat-panel TV owners should head straight for the HDMI output, which delivers upscaled pictures and can also be used to pass Dolby Digital and DTS bitstreams to an AV receiver. The socket also supports Easy Link, Philips' HDMI CEC application that lets you control the player using the remote from a compatible Philips TV or other HDMI-equipped device.
For those unable to use HDMI, the deck provides analogue alternatives in the shape of component video output and an RGB-capable SCART. On the audio side, there's a coaxial digital audio output and stereo audio output.

The Robert Kraft Arrest Is Just One More Reason It's Time to Legalize Sex Work
Home /Opinion/The Robert Kraft Arrest Is Just One More Reason It's Time to Legalize Sex Work
By: Katelyn Kivel
Let's be real: Robert Kraft isn't the most sympathetic figure. Even ignoring that he owns the most hated sports franchise in America, he's also the kind of person who owns sports franchises. Kraft is a philanthropist, but he also faces only a maximum of 60 days in jail, six months probation and a pittance of $500 in fines. He's not really an underdog.
Investigators have also indicated that Kraft is one of dozens of arrests to come in connection with their bust. They probably aren't the underdogs either.
No, the underdogs in this story are the employees of the ten spas that were shut down in Florida. While details seem scarce, it seems arrested "manager" Lei Wang and two others "lived" at Orchids of Asia Day Spa in Jupiter, Florida. Investigators have suggested Orchids of Asia, owned by Hua Zhang, was part of a human trafficking ring.
In a lot of ways, Hua Zhang, Lei Wang and the other employees of Orchids of Asia are part of a much longer narrative. In fact, it's well-argued that sex workers used to be America's most liberated women and were instrumental in securing women's rights nationwide. Unconscious of that legacy though they may be, it still puts the workers at Orchids of Asia in a bitterly ironic position.
You can have this history condescendingly explained in an episode of Adam Ruins Everything.
Worldwide, 24.9 million people are trapped in forced labor resulting from trafficking rings, and it's the fastest growing crime against women on the planet. And that's only one of many good reasons to end America's criminalization of sex work.
Human Trafficking and Sex Work
Legalized sex work isn't a silver bullet by any means. There will always be a demand for something that ought to remain illegal and there will be stigma against sex workers long after a change in laws. But even the organization Equality Now, which is broadly skeptical of legalization, has decriminalized sex work and support for sex workers as part of their plan to fight human trafficking.
"An equality-based approach must recognize the vulnerability of prostituted persons by decriminalizing the selling of sex and expunging related criminal records," Equality Now argues.
Illegal sex work makes it more difficult to separate sex workers from the sex trafficked, which is already water that is muddled by opponents of sex work. The reason being that those selectively in the industry are unwilling to report dangerous actors because they, themselves are committing a crime.
Meanwhile both sex workers themselves and Amnesty International have argued that sex work and sex trafficking are practical opposites.
"An equality-based approach must recognize the vulnerability of prostituted persons."
Consider the analogy of medical amnesty for underage drinking. When the personal legal liability for committing a crime is lifted, calls for emergency services to provide sometimes life-saving intervention skyrocketed.
Applied to sex work, the idea follows that decriminalization of prostitution would allow those engaged in sex work to call attention to emergency situations — for instance, human trafficking — without endangering themselves or potentially the victims. And trafficking victims do get charged with prostitution.
In the case of Kraft, for instance, it can be impossible for a client to know if their sex worker is a part of the trade willingly or by force because no legal apparatus exists to separate the two throughout most of the United States.
But when consensual sex work and sex trafficking get muddled, there are far-reaching consequences.
SESTA/FOSTA
The Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act of 2017 (FOSTA) and the Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act of 2017 (SESTA) made no practical distinction between sex work in general and sex trafficking in specific. This had calamitous results for the consensual sex work industry, results that were hard to avoid as Congress has no motivation to legitimize consensual sex work.
Technology has reshaped every industry, and consensual sex work was no slouch when it came to adopting the advances proposed by the Internet. Online platforms allowed sex workers to vet potential clients safely, without the need for an intermediary and from a comfortable distance. It provided discretion and independence.
SESTA/FOSTA shuttered a lot of those platforms. And even meeting temporary success by its own measure — decreasing advertisements for sex work online — it may have actually hampered efforts to stop trafficking in its broader attack on sex work.
To say nothing of the human cost.
"The political just got really personal."
"Because of this bill I've now been forced back to the one place I barely made it out of alive the first time," said Phoenix, Arizona-area sex worker Melissa about returning to the streets. "This stupid bill literally has taken away the one thing I felt as if I had control over in my life. The one thing that was allowing me to be a functioning, contributing member of society."
Another sex worker, Kendall from Los Angeles, said that it was clear politicians wanted escorts either dead or easily arrested. Colette, a dominatrix in San Francisco said the industry was trying to count its casualties from a law intended to keep women safe.
"If we're not dying from the unsafe conditions that we're being pushed to, we're dying because some of us have been pushed to their limits and have chosen to end their life because all of this feels like too much. It feels like we're heading toward or living in some fucked-up dystopian world that's growing more emboldened to oppress us.," said Colette. "The political just got really personal."
You know where women feel safe? Nevada.
Legal Sex Work is Safer Sex Work
Sex workers in the legal trade offer cautionary tales, but far from the grim stories from the trenches elsewhere in the country, theirs are focused on how sex work can build your future.
"I've talked to women that invest in real estate. They open their own businesses on the side, and now all of a sudden they have the brothel income, and they have the supplemental income from their other businesses that they've launched," said Christina of the Moonlite Bunny Ranch in Carson City, Nevada. "Obviously if you invest well and you are good at saving your money, if you're making half a million or close to it a year, you can retire early."
The New York Times found that there wasn't just no evidence of trafficking in legal brothels, but sex workers in those environments felt safer than those in other parts of the country precisely because they had the law and a supportive industry on their side.
"Criminalization enables the police to harass them and not prioritize their complaints and safety."
Criminalization of sex work instead erodes trust in those institutions. 70 percent of sex workers in one study never even disclosed their profession to health workers. Rape victims are afraid to report because they don't want to involve police in what is, under law, their own criminal culpability.
"Sex workers have told us how criminalization enables the police to harass them and not prioritize their complaints and safety," said Senior Director for Law and Policy at the Amnesty International Secretariat Tawanda Mutasah.
Amnesty International has argued that even where sex work is legal, a cultural shift is needed. Too often, policing focuses on raids and punishing sex workers, the organization said, and not often enough on providing for their safety.
This diminished trust, and its resulting increase in stigma and vulnerability, were core factors in a paper published in the American Medical Association's Journal of Ethics calling on the immediate decriminalization of sex work in the United States, not only to combat sex trafficking but to protect women.
There has been an increase in calls to legalize sex work in recent years. One article in Slate in 2014 argued that the case against legalization amounted to determining who it is still okay to hate, fear or otherwise stigmatize.
"It's wrong to ban sex workers' options just to make ourselves feel better."
But since then, even John Stossel writing for Fox News made an argument in favor of legalizing sex work rooted in deeply Republican notions of personal liberty and bodily autonomy.
"We don't have to cheer for prostitution, or think it's nice, to keep government out of it and let participants make up their own minds," wrote Stossel. "It's wrong to ban sex workers' options just to make ourselves feel better."
Americans on an individual basis are deeply divided however. Marist found that women, in particular, are conflicted on the issue and on what practical impact legalization would have. This is, in no small way, a product of deeply divided messaging on the issue.
But we can, for certain, say that what exists now isn't working. It isn't working for Robert Kraft and, more importantly, it isn't working for Melissa from Phoenix. The only people it really works for at all are politicians, who can point to SESTA/FOSTA's "success."

Q: How to retrieve an embedded image source for WPF I have a program which has loaded in a few 'plugins' using MEF. I have the dll file for each 'plugin' and access to the interface used for the MEF export and import.
The interface contains a title and an image (system.drawing) for each 'plugin' and I would like to display these in a list in my main program. I do not possess the image files themselves. They are embedded resources in the dlls.
My problem is that the WPF control I am using only has an ImageSource property and therefore I cannot bind the image that was loaded in from each 'plugin' dll.
It seems what I need to do is extract a relative path to the embedded image file from the image itself. I'm not sure it's possible.
I would like to show my embedded resource images in the WPF main window
I am using C# and .Net 4.0 in VS2015
Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Remember Dick Morris? Apparently, not many other people do either
If you're not a long-time viewer of Fox News Channel — and I figure that most of my regular readers are not — you probably have only a vague memory of Dick Morris, who was fired from FNC a few years ago for his utter incompetence as a political pundit.
Actually, Morris deserves to be remembered as perhaps the worst political prognosticator in America.
How bad is he? Well, shortly before the 2012 presidential election, he predicted that Mitt Romney would defeat Barack Obama in a landslide.
But, of course, Morris wasn�t the only person to predict a big win for Romney. So did Karl Rove. So did Peggy Noonan. So did lots of other self-deceived conservatives.
What really sets Morris apart from these other GOP pundits is his long, long record of bad predictions and wacky observations.
In 2004, he said Howard Dean would defeat John Kerry for the Democratic presidential nomination.
In 2005, he said Hillary Clinton�s chance for re-election to the U.S. Senate in 2006 faced its �worst nightmare� in the candidacy of Republican Jeanine Piro. But Piro�s campaign collapsed, and she quit the race. He also predicted that Hillary would drop her bid for re-election to concentrate on a run for the presidency in 2008. She didn�t.
Also in 2005, Morris said that Hurricane Katrina �has the capacity to shape the second Bush term in the same way September 11 shaped his first term�not only in rebuilding New Orleans but in taking preventative steps around the nation to bolster our defenses against natural and man-made disasters and terror strikes. Responding to disasters is a source of presidential strength and popularity, and Bush is about to show how it is done.�
Also in 2005, Morris predicted that the 2008 presidential race likely would pit Hillary Clinton against Condoleezza Rice.
In 2008, he said that Joe the Plumber was going to deliver younger voters to John McCain. Barack Obama ended up carrying young voters by a 66-32 margin.
In 2008, he also said that the Obama-McCain race would be close in Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana and Tennessee. It wasn�t.
The Morris record of nonsense goes on and on and on: America wasn�t ready for a black or a woman as president. Mitt Romney would pick Marco Rubio as his running mate. Bill Clinton was going to vote for Romney. Obama was using �mind-control� techniques to create a Communist dictatorship. Obama �wants to force everyone into the cities from whence our ancestors fled.�
How did this guy ever get a job as a political pundit? Even the folks at Fox News probably are wondering why they ever hired him.
And now there's THIS:
Sixteen months ago, to some fanfare, Dick Morris re-entered the anti-Clinton fray with a new PAC. He launched k Morris's Just Say No to Hillary PAC, registering it from Tampa. From time to time, storiesabout the potential hurdles for a Hillary Clinton run would cite the rise of PACs like Morris's.
But there is a rather glaring�problem with adding Morris to this narrative: No one has been giving money to his PAC. Literally, no one. In filings today, first flagged by Center for Public Integrity reporter Dave Levinthal, Just Say No to Hillary PAC reported no donors through all of 2014. That squareswith data collected by the Center for Responsive Politics.
If that finding is�surprising, it's because other people have done perfectly good business in the sturdy anti-Clinton industry. Dan Backer, a conservative attorney and strategist who won at the Supreme Court last year to undo some restrictions on individual donors to parties, launched the Stop Hillary PAC after Morris's PAC was already in the field. The Backer group has hauled in more than $1 million, and built a sizable social media presence.

Q: Django Strawberry writing a mutation that includes a foreign key that creates multiple objects I am trying to have a GraphQL mutation create the inputs for two Django models at once using strawberry. I checked the documentation here and there weren't any examples of how to do this.
I have the following Django model:
class Address(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField()

class Person(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField()
    address = models.ForeignKey('Address', on_delete=models.CASCADE, blank=False, null=False)

With the type.py file:
@strawberry.django.type(models.Address)
class Address:
    id: auto
    name:auto

@strawberry.django.input(models.Address)
class AddressInput:
    id: auto
    name:auto

@strawberry.django.type(models.Person)
class Person:
    id: auto
    name: auto
    address:'Address'

@strawberry.django.input(models.Person)
class Person:
    id: auto
    name: auto
    address:'AddressInput'

For the schema.py I have:
@strawberry.type
class Mutation:
    createAddress: Address = mutations.create(AddressInput)
    createPerson: Person =mutations.create(PersonInput)

schema = strawberry.Schema(mutation=Mutation)

I tried the Mutation, but I got an error:
mutation newPerson ($name: String!, $addressname:String!){
  createPerson(data: {name: $name, address: {name: $addressname}}) {
    id
    name
    address {
      id
      name
    }
  }
}

#Query Variables

{
"name": "Min",
"addressname": "jkkihh",
}

Error message:
"message": "Field 'id' expected a number but got PersonInput(id=<strawberry.unset._Unset object at 0x00000194FB945C90>, addressname='jkkihh', description=<strawberry.unset._Unset object at 0x00000194FB945C90>, notes=<strawberry.unset._Unset object at 0x00000194FB945C90>)."

This is similar the this question I previously asked using Graphene. Where it was resolved by making an new object type to store and wrote a mutate function inside a class for mutation. I also tried doing two mutations, but I had issues getting the id for the foreign key address when it was created.

A: I think strawberry_django has a bug here, though you should prefer using the strawberry_django_plus package,
because it is better maintained. Hopefully, it will be merged to the official strawberry soon.
In your case, it would be:
from strawberry_django_plus import gql
from strawberry import auto

@gql.django.type(models.Person)
class Person:
    id: auto
    name: auto
    address:'Address'

@gql.django.input(models.Person)
class Person:
    id: auto
    name: auto
    address:'AddressInput'

@gql.type
class Mutation:
    createAddress: Address = gql.django.create_mutation(AddressInput)
    createPerson: Person = gql.django.create_mutation(PersonInput)

schema = strawberry.Schema(mutation=Mutation)

Mental Illness, Diseases and Substance Use Disorders Often Go Hand-in-Hand
By RICH JONES
People with mental health issues are at high risk for substance use disorder (SUD), says a leading virtual support program designed to help individuals struggling with stress, substance use and suicidal thoughts.
A 2019 national survey from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) estimates nearly 50 percent of individuals with a severe mental illness reported engaging in drug or alcohol use. The diagnosis is called co-occurrence or comorbidity. Additionally, we know with certainty that COVID-19 has impacted that number and that the number of individuals struggling have skyrocketed because of it.
"Self-medicating mental illness with drugs and alcohol is prevalent," said Heritage CARES EVP and Executive Director Rich Jones, MA, MBA, LCAS, SAP. "Most of us in recovery also have some type of co-occurring diagnosis. For example, alcohol does a great job of taking the edge off anxiety and stress. Likewise, cocaine can motivate people who are depressed. The problem is that substance use makes the underlying problem worse."
CARES is an acronym for Comprehensive Addiction Recovery Education and Support. The virtual program provides participants and their families convenient access to support from trained engagement coaches on any mobile device at any time. This significantly increases the potential for long-term recovery success for patients who have been through SUD treatment programs.
Jones explains that it's very subjective as to who will develop a co-occurring disease. He says it's a matter of access, opportunity and exposure – and how a person is wired. For some, substance use will have a positive effect, but for others, a negative impact.
At Heritage CARES, the most common co-occurring disorder combinations our participants' experience are:
Alcohol and depression
Alcohol and anxiety
Alcohol and bipolar disorder
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and opioids
Which comes first: SUD or mental illness
"As we say in the industry, the first diagnosis depends on which door you enter," says Jones. "That's to say if you show up to a drug and alcohol facility, the SUD will be the primary condition diagnosed. If you seek care at a mental health facility, that condition will be the primary diagnosis."
For example, a man in his 30s has low-lying depression and a drinking issue, but neither has been formally diagnosed. He goes to a football game one night, drinks too much and drives home. Two potential scenarios might play out.
In situation A, he gets a DUI on his way home from the game, which will force an SUD diagnosis. In situation B, the same man makes it home from the game, only to face his wife, who is fed up with his drinking and decides to leave him. As a result, his depression worsens, and he seeks help at a mental health facility for suicidal thoughts. Depression will then be his diagnosis.
"The important thing to remember is that there are no wrong doors," Jones says. "Either way, patients receive a full psychological assessment, and both conditions will be treated. The treatment will most likely involve integrated or parallel care – integrated care involves one doctor treating both conditions, and parallel involves concurrent treatment for both, just not from the same person. Parallel treatment is the most common, but either works well."
Our clinicl treatment would handle a co-occurring disorder diagnosis with parallel treatment. For example, our ACE (Assertive Community Engagement) coaches are trained to keep a person on an SUD recovery track but would need to send that person to a licensed therapist for mental health issues.
Other co-occurring disorders caused by substance misuse
SUD puts individuals at risk for a whole host of other medical issues. For example, in July 2021, The Lancet published a study that found in 2020, alcohol use was a factor in 741,300 new cancer diagnoses – 6.3 million individuals died in 2020 from cancers of the esophagus, throat, larynx, colon, rectum, liver and breast.
While the researchers suggest that lessening alcohol use can be a cancer-prevention strategy, the study found that "fewer than one in three Americans recognize alcohol as a cause of cancer."
HIV, AIDS and hepatitis are other comorbidity concerns – especially among people who use injection drugs. In 2017, the CDC reported nearly 10 percent of all new HIV infections occur among injection drug users.
Also, chronic pain often leads to SUD. Research indicates an estimated 10% of chronic pain patients misuse prescription opioids. In addition, experts believe chronic pain and associated emotional distress rewire the brain's stress and reward circuitry, increasing the risk for opioid use disorder.
Other illnesses linked to SUD include heart disease, diabetes, liver disease and other lifestyle diseases.
"Often, it's challenging to separate the medical and psychological conditions from the SUD," says Jones. "But many times, the SUD is something you can positively affect through recovery efforts. Find a coach, get a plan and stay on the path. For some illnesses, you'll see immediate effects without the drugs or alcohol. Others take much longer. We can all only go one step at a time. But sometimes a small, positive step in the right direction is the beginning of a big journey."
Heritage CARES involves the entire family on the recovery journey with resources and coaching designed especially for family members directly affected by SUD.
Rich Jones is EVP and Executive Director of Heritage CARES a virtual support program available for companies, rehabilitation centers and first responders. Heritage CARES (Comprehensive Addiction Recovery Education and Support) is a comprehensive program providing support tools for substance use disorders (SUD), stress management and suicide prevention and intervention to participants and their immediate family members. The platform also includes tools for wellness and mental health, and anxiety issues and is available for use 24 hours a day, seven days a week. There are three components to the program: peer coaching, education and care management. For more information on Heritage CARES, visit Heritage CARES.
