Diversity and Inclusion panel
PatientPop December 13, 2018
PatientPop recently hosted a panel event that focused on diversity and inclusion in the workplace. Learn about the event and our work to encourage diversity.
PatientPop prides itself on being a workplace that not only accepts but encourages diversity on all fronts. We've been successful at this because we allow our employees to lead the conversation and change-making — it's not just an initiative that's top-down. Our employee-run groups — including the Women's Resource Group (WRG), Tech Culture & Diversity Group, and Recruiting Diversity channel — are great examples of how we accomplish this.
On Dec. 12, we hosted a fantastic panel event that focused on diversity and inclusion in the workplace. The panel was moderated by Alexis Kavazanjian, vice president of people operations at PatientPop, and included PatientPop employees Gurdev Anand, Fimi Fafowora, Michael Masters, and Sarah Tsunehara. (Pictured left to right above.) Two of our employee groups, the WRG and our Tech Culture & Diversity Group, co-hosted this event and invited all employees to attend and join the discussion.
"In order to make change, we need to be proactive and take initiative as a group, and yesterday's panel is a big step in the right direction for us in that journey," Kavazanjian says. "Diversity and inclusion is something that will evolve and change over time, so I'm excited to see where this takes us. It's the responsibility of all of our employees to help us create the pathway forward and to lead the change, and it was great to see such a large turnout at the event."
The inspiration for this topic stemmed from our last panel event, Women in Leadership, hosted by our Women's Resource Group. Employees had the opportunity to learn about our female leaders' backgrounds and how they got to where they are today.
Although the Women in Leadership panel did a deep-dive into gender diversity, there were so many other aspects of diversity left undiscussed. Our most recent event was our opportunity to talk about what diversity looks like holistically, and how we can ensure an inclusive workplace. It was just the beginning of a series of discussions and initiatives to come in the future.
"Diversity needs to continue to be something that we actively seek out — it won't just happen. I loved seeing everyone come together last night to do just that."
Jazimar Jones, Patientpop Manager of Onboarding Services
The questions posed to our panelists centered around topics including celebrating diversity, understanding unconscious bias, and improving inclusivity at work. The panelists shared personal stories to help the audience better understand their perspective and experiences. We broke down barriers around what might be considered taboo topics and learned to embrace curiosity and positive learning in a safe space.
"It was helpful to learn how to properly approach people with different backgrounds and identities with questions when I want to learn more about them," says Ari Tabak, PatientPop director of support. "I also found it comforting to know how open people are about discussing these delicate topics."
Thank you to Kavazanjian and our panelists for leading this event, and thank you to all the PatientPop employees who attended. Want to learn more about PatientPop values? Check out our Careers page!

Convos at Work Ep 02: "I shouldn't have to dim my light"


To be fair, I like that the wind tends to blow away the stuff that makes the air yucky (although the Central Valley then gets to enjoy it). But it also takes pollen that is perfectly fine right where it is - on or near the plants and trees where it originated - and carries it (apparently) right into my nostrils and eyes. Thanks a bunch, Wind.
But what I really hate about the wind is that I have to run into it whenever I'm running here in the 'Meda at this time of year.
Sometimes I run half my run into the wind then turn around - and the wind somehow knows I've turned around, so it changes direction and I have to run the other half of my run into the wind, too. Wind is clearly evil.
It's not like I don't know that it's windy in most of the places I run here in town (along the water). And it's not like I'm not used to it. I grew up in the part of San Mateo that's close to the bay, and it was windy all the time there, too. It always made basketball on the playground interesting - you would have to gauge the wind speed and direction correctly if you had any hope of sinking a free throw or jump shot.
When I started running in high school, I noticed that our track was half sheltered from the wind by a hill. Yay! Unfortunately, the part of the track that was sheltered was where you would get a tailwind if it weren't sheltered. Rats.
At least I have learned to run in the wind over all these years. I don't stress out over my pace if I'm running into the wind, and I don't celebrate my fast times on those all-too-rare cases when I'm running with it. I've gotten to be quite good at drafting other runners, especially my son Cameron, who is thankfully taller than I am. But somehow when I'm in a race on a windy day, I always end up behind some 4'11", 90-pound woman and get no benefit from drafting her. Where are those 6'3", 210-pound hulks when you need them?
When you draft another runner, you can't really run directly behind him or her; you have to be kind of off to one side. Usually the wind isn't perfectly in your face, so you have to figure out which side will let you hide behind the other person the most. Then you get up behind them as close as possible. Really close. You may have to adjust your arm swing a little on that side because you don't want to bump into them.
A more egregious error is to get so close that you actually trip them, something that nearly happened to my friend John West during this year's windy Boston Marathon when a guy who was apparently inexperienced at drafting decided to draft him for a while.
If you do decide to draft someone, be sure to first ask if it's okay, then offer to take the lead for part of the time to share the work. If someone is drafting you and not sharing the work and you find that annoying, you have a couple of options.
You can slow down to force them to pass you, then tuck in behind them (even stop to pretend to tie your shoe, then catch them when they keep going). Or you can speed up and leave them behind - if you do this, you should do a brief but powerful surge for a short distance. If they catch up again, it's probably time for the fake untied shoe trick.
Finally, if there's no one around to draft and you have a stiff breeze in your face that's slowing you to a crawl along the bay, there's only one solution. Stop for a few seconds and take a gander to the west to remind yourself that we live in one of the most beautiful areas in the world. That oughta get you going again.

The Green Ghost Detective Audiobook
#3 Murder Makes A Ghost
by G.T. Fleming-Roberts
Read by Roger Price
Magic meets mystery as George Chance battles crime as the Green Ghost! Thrills, legerdemain and suspense — all courtesy of the most extraordinary man-hunter the world has ever known!
The Green Ghost flashes into action with his magical arts when grinning Death stalks — and tackles the puzzling case of the Steel-Hat Murders!
It may seem odd that a character who only had fourteen original appearances still resonates with fans and pulp readers today, but The Green Ghost definitely fits that profile.
Originally debuting in 1940 in The Ghost Super Detective Magazine, George Chance's alter ego was actually the magazine's title character. Stepping down off the stage as a magician, Chance threw himself headlong into the battle for justice as the scary masked figure known only as The Ghost. That is, except when he was referred to as The Super Detective. The stories at this point were much as they would remain throughout the series, well told mysteries mixing in elements of horror with the concept of a masked hero that was exceedingly popular in Pulps at that time.
Even with that formula, however, editorial staff at Thrilling Publications/Standard Magazine felt that the series needed something else, a little more terror perhaps. So George Chance added a green glow and more horrific appearance to his crime fighting outfit and the name changed to The Green Ghost, mostly dropping The Super Detective tagline. This change is odd only in that it was really the only significant change to the series overall. Chance's methods remained the same, his supporting cast still helped out as always, and the level of criminal never rose to monster or mad scientist. The fact that there was so little change and that the stories remained consistent likely contribute to why the character is still fondly remembered.
Murder Makes A Ghost was originally published in the pages of The Ghost Super-Detective magazine in the Summer of 1940 and is read with mysterious and magical force by Roger Price.

Power plant cooling rules aim to reduce fish kills
Written By Kari Lydersen May 3, 2011
Older power plants often draw cooling water from reservoirs and discharge it back into the lake, killing billions of fish in the process.
The Environmental Protection Agency is proposing new steps to reduce the number of fish killed by power plant cooling systems, but critics say the plan, which relies on state-level enforcement, will be ineffective.
Every year billions of fish are killed by coal-fired and nuclear power plants across the Midwest. As these plants suck in water from lakes and rivers, adult fish perish pressed against the intake screens, while juvenile fish, larva and eggs are sucked right into the system.
Many of these systems also expel water at up to 30 degrees warmer than it was taken in, which contributes to blooms of toxic and oxygen-depleting algae that can kill fish and foul water.
On April 20, the EPA proposed a new rule meant to reduce the number of fish killed by older power plants with open cooling systems (as opposed to the closed cooling systems that reuse the same water and have been the industry standard for new plants for several decades).
Critics say the proposed rule does little to change the status quo, since it largely delegates authority to resource-strapped state agencies to come up with specific requirements for individual plants and to enforce those requirements.
Natural Resources Defense Council attorney Thom Cmar called the rule "a big punt by the EPA to the states," opening the door for a loose patchwork of approaches rather than stricter, streamlined requirements.
The proposed rule, open for public comment until July 19, changes the way section 316b of the Clean Water Act is implemented. It applies to any plants that take in more than 2 million gallons of water per day and uses at least a quarter of it for cooling. Paper mills, textile mills, metal manufacturers and other industries fall in this category, but power plants are by far the largest such water users.
Half of all the water withdrawn each day in the U.S. – about 200 billion gallons – is for cooling power plants, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
Power industry officials have said a revised Clean Water Act rule requiring significant changes to cooling systems could have a major economic impact, forcing power plants to close and leading to rate increases. Officials with the Edison Electric Institute, an association of shareholder-owned electric companies, said industry representatives are still analyzing the likely impact of the proposed rule.
'The lowest common denominator'
Environmental groups have long pressed for stricter standards, with many advocating that all plants be required to convert to closed-cycle cooling systems. The new rule was sparked in part by a lawsuit filed by the New York organization Riverkeeper and the NRDC.
The rule deals with impingement, or fish caught against intake screens and structures; and entrainment, or fish sucked into the cooling system. A separate part of the Clean Water Act (section 316a) regulates the temperature of water released from power plants.
For entrainment, the proposed rule basically leaves it up to most state governments to decide what regulations, if any, to impose. The rule lays out standards for determining best technology available to reduce entrainment as part of the state permitting process.
"The big problem is they're leaving it to a case-by-case determination," said Sierra Club Great Lakes Program director Emily Green. "The states do not have the capacity. To think we're going to do a reasonable job of looking at every power plant and making a case-by-case determination, we don't believe that's going to work."
Regarding impingement, the proposed rule says plants can either reduce the speed of the water being sucked into their system, or they must prove that no more than 12 percent, annually, of fish that are impinged on intake structures die. If power plants reduce the water speed, they don't have to meet any numerical fish mortality limits, since it is assumed fish will then be able to swim away.
Cmar and other advocates are skeptical the rule will result in meaningful changes.
"Experience has shown that the Midwestern states lack both the political will and the expertise to evaluate the engineering details of a plant's cooling water intake and require changes that will minimize their environmental impact – even though that's what the Clean Water Act requires," Cmar said. "And the EPA has failed to step in and enforce the Clean Water Act in the states' absence. It's taken decades of litigation by environmental groups just to get the EPA to make the woefully inadequate proposal that's currently on the table."
Eric Uram, a Wisconsin angler and environmental consultant, said delegating environmental decision-making to state agencies leads to "the lowest common denominator."
"If you have one state doing one thing, it lowers the bar," he said. "Most of the time what you end up getting is, 'We're not going to do any more than what anyone else is going to do.'"
The 'Bass-o-matic'
Technology options described in the rule include fabric walls or nets blocking off the water intake area, and structures to divert fish. The EPA says the best technology may be screens outfitted with hoses that spray fish into buckets to return them to the water unharmed. Cmar called it a "Rube Goldberg-esque contraption developed so companies can continue to make this massive, massive withdrawal of water."
The EPA estimates the proposed rule will prevent the deaths of 615 million fish (or their ecological equivalent) each year. Two other options the EPA considered would have saved about three times as many fish, but were not deemed economically or practically viable.
A controversial U.S. Supreme Court ruling found that a cost-benefit analysis can be considered in deciding how to implement 316b, meaning that the technology that saves the most fish won't necessarily be mandated, but rather the one that saves fish the most "efficiently" considering costs.
Cmar said this is problematic since such analyses might not adequately account for the cumulative economic value of smaller "forage" fish and other organisms that aren't prized by anglers but are key to the food chain.
"How do you capture all the benefits of not killing massive numbers of those fish that are supporting more valuable fish?" asked Cmar.
The NRDC studied the effects of the cooling system at FirstEnergy's Bay Shore coal-fired power on Lake Erie's Maumee Bay near Toledo. The NRDC dubbed the plant the "bass-o-matic" for the high number of fish killed: about 50 million adult fish through impingement, and almost 14 million juvenile fish, two billion larval fish and 200 million fish eggs sucked into the system.
The Ohio EPA has ordered the Bayshore plant to reduce the number of fish killed, though the NRDC and other critics said its requirements still aren't strict enough. The plant is located in one of the Great Lakes most fertile spawning areas, and the NRDC estimated the economic impact of the Bay Shore plant's cooling system on fisheries at $30 million a year.
The EPA estimates that about 350 power plants with open cooling systems will be subject to the new rule, including 37 power plants that draw water directly from the Great Lakes. Analyzing an EPA database, the Sierra Club has identifies 67 coal-fired power plants with open cooling systems on the Great Lakes or nearby on tributaries.
Are cooling towers the best option?
New plants are already required to have a closed cooling system, which usually entails a cooling tower. Environmental groups including the NRDC, the Sierra Club and Riverkeeper want the EPA to impose strict limits on the number of fish impinged and entrained at existing plants, limits that might only be obtainable by converting to a closed cooling system.
In the proposed rule, the EPA says it decided not to require closed cooling systems because they would not be feasible at all locations. Some plants lack space to build a cooling tower, the EPA said, and running a closed cooling system requires burning more fuel which increases air emissions and could violate a facility's air permit. It might not make financial sense to invest in new cooling towers at older plants, the EPA added, and the requirement might affect the reliability of local power supplies.
"The fact that we have built new facilities with closed-cycle cooling may be true, but what doesn't transpose is that therefore…we can do it at all other existing facilities," said Rich McMahon of Edison Electric Institute. He said the monitoring requirements in the rule are "excessive," especially measuring the mortality rates of fish caught on screens.
"There's a difference between monitoring a pollutant that's coming out of a facility and trying to accurately and precisely monitor the interaction between living critters and an intake structure," McMahon said. "The facilities covered by this aren't in the business of raising and tending fish. But here they are supposed to capture the ones impinged, babysit them for two days, and see how many survive."

And still more lies
When everybody thought that the nine-year reign of lies and deception had ended, Gloria in what sounded like a farewell speech to foreign diplomats peppered them with the tallest tales she could muster to paint her nine-year administration as a success which was lightyears away from reality.
The speech started with "I did not seek the president's office in 2001, it was thrusted on me" and ended with the Philippines being among members of the First World in 20 years, or in 2030, which apparently was moved from her earlier enchanted estimate of 2020.
Rather than shirk from the onerous task, I rolled up my sleeves determined to turn the country around, she said.
As if talking to people born yesterday, Gloria recounted that the economy was on a spin, investments were not coming into the country and the Philippines tethered in political chaos, and the government was on the brink of financial bankruptcy, in 2001, the reason she claimed for the takeover of the presidency from constitutionally elected President Joseph Estrada.
Internationally, the Philippines had fallen far, far off the radar screen, went Gloria's story.
To those who heard of the Philippines or knew the country for the first time, Gloria's spiel was impressive, the same way a six-year-old kid would have been spellbound by Jack and the Beanstalk.... MORE

Too full of himself FRONTLINE Ninez Cacho-Olivares 06/13/2010
Outgoing Defense Chief Norberto Gonzales puts too much importance on himself, saying that he will be forming a "shadow" Cabinet and provide the Filipino people with an "alternative" political opposition.
In presenting his plan of an alternative government, Gonzales said this is really needed in the country as changes should not merely be focused on a change in government leadership and faces, but genuine reforms that would prove beneficial to the country and the people.
Yet he had all of nine and half years to at least introduce reforms — even in his own office, but it is pretty clear that all he did was to spy on the political opposition, and even come up with frequent claims of political opposition figures plotting a coup against Gloria.
Gonzales, however, clarified that his shadow Cabinet will not be competing with the official Cabinet functions of the incoming Aquino government, saying that other members of the political opposition have already agreed to discuss the move once he is officially out of government service.
First off, the country is not operating under a parliamentary system where, it should also be stressed, the elected political opposition in parliament always forms a shadow Cabinet, ready to take over the reins of the Cabinet government when it falls. Apparently, Gonzales realizes as he said his shadow Cabinet will not be competing with the Aquino Cabinet secretaries. But of course Gonzales' shadow Cabinet can't, because he and his members do not sit in Congress.... MORE

Binay: Man of the Moment ENQUIRY Demaree J. B. Raval 06/13/2010
Demaree J. B. Raval
Forty-four years ago, in 1966, Jejomar Cabauatan Binay was one of those juvenile, irrepressible, slogan-chanting students who picketed the Manila Hotel and embarrassed the then occupant of Malacañang when they harangued visiting US President Lyndon Johnson with the chant, "Hey, hey, LBJ, how many kids did you kill today?" during the Philippines-Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand Summit Conference.
Forty years later, in 2006, a more grown-up but still irrepressible Binay again embarrassed another occupant of Malacañang, when he barricaded himself inside the Makati City Hall in defiance of a suspension order that was a transparent maneuver of the Palace to distract attention from its own scandals. The stand-off would have sparked an ugly, rebellion among Makati's poor had not the court issued an injunctive order, thereby preventing the Office of the President from enforcing its suspension order....

Isabela's Padaca leaves behind P2 billion BLURBAL THRUSTS Louie Logarta 06/13/2010
If there is anything the people of Isabela province should remember outgoing Gov. Grace Padaca for, it is the virtue of thrift.
And guess what. The main beneficiary of this exemplary trait of hers is third-term Rep. Faustino Dy III of the 3rd district, the man who trounced her in the gubernatorial race during the May 10 polls.
During the televised weekly public affairs program "Meet the Press" of the National Press Club, Governor-elect Dy graciously conceded that his predecessor Padaca, whom he had edged out by an ultra-slim margin of 3,438 votes from a universe of 546,076 voters, had left behind a hefty bank balance amounting to some P2 billion which he admitted would definitely come in handy as he pursues the implementation of his master plan to bring his notoriously backward province into the 21st century.
Ironically, Padaca's stinginess with money or more precisely her reluctance to dip her fingers into the public purse is what may have cost her the province's governorship.
Padaca's defeat at the hands of Congressman Dy, who comes from a political dynasty which has ruled Isabela since 1963 when the family patriarch Faustino Dy Sr. was first appointed Cauayan town councilor by President Diosdado Macapagal due to a vacancy, is said to be a direct result of her failure to provide funds for health benefits of bona fide residents of the province....

Jonathan De la Cruz
It is well that nobody took acting Defense Secretary Bert Gonzales seriously when he rabble roused during the retirement ceremonies for AFP Vice Chief of Staff Rodrigo Maclang that the incoming Aquino administration was conducting a loyalty check on the officers and men of the military. This he issued after announcing that he did recognize Aquino as his president and that he was going to remain an Aquino critic. Obviously trying to call attention to himself, Gonzales gleefully stated that he and AFP Chief of Staff Delfin Bangit have gotten the ire of the incoming Chief Executive for their seemingly defiant and, might I add, patronizing statements on how the men in uniform and the institution they serve should be treated. What did Gonzales expect anyway? That the incoming President will simply roll over and take their statements which to some observers smacked of blackmail and insubordination at face value?
Being himself a political player of sorts Gonzales should have realized early on that there is a limit to such public upstaging especially since the Aquino camp had earlier made its position very clear on how they are going to exercise their prerogatives as "Commander-in-Chief." In any event Gonzales is dreaming if he thinks that others will follow his lead... MORE
Smoking VIEWPOINTS Archbishop Oscar V. Cruz 06/13/2010
Lately, there has been and there still is a lot of extraordinary interest, talk and concern about the ordinary phenomenon of smoking.
Do not smoke! Why smoke? Smoking is bad! And so on. Smoking makes you sick! Why poison yourself? Smokers harm others' health! And so forth. The truth is that even the Department of Health has joined the fray, intending to wage a social war against smoking, even proposing the use of the pack itself of cigarettes to counter smoking. And the cigarette industry in turn, signified its vehement objections to the anti-smoking drive coming to fore these days. It helps the economy. It provides employment. It contributes to the development of the country. Leave it alone.
There are indications to the effect that the rather bitter fight between the anti-smoking advocacy and the pro-smoking promotion will continue for some more time — unlike so many very more serious issues in this country that come and go with the rising and the setting of the sun. Reason: There is a very important personality in the forefront of this particular Philippine socio-political scenery, who is the target recipient of a good amount of unsolicited advice against smoking. Pitiful man. He merely wants to smoke — buying his own cigarettes. He simply enjoys smoking — helping the industry. And there is the mob that tells him "Stop it!" and "Go ahead!" all at the same time.... MORE
The trouble with destiny TABLETS OF STONE Larry Faraon, OP 06/13/2010
\"If Mrs. Cory Aquino didn't pass away, Noynoy Aquino would not have run and won the presidency." "If Sen. Mar Roxas insisted on running for president, then former President Joseph Estrada would be our president today." "If Sen. Manny Villar gave way to Erap, then we have Erap as the president, giving Noynoy a run for his candidacy." "If there was no cyber cheating in the elections that showed incredible results such as the zero vote of Erap in Montalban, Rizal where he put up his Erap City and landing third in his own hometown, San Juan, then Erap should have been proclaimed president." "If the late INC elder Eraño Manalo were alive, the Iglesia ni Cristo could have endorsed him that could have given him victory." The "ifs" are long and many.
There is quick fix answer to these "ifs" — namely, destiny. This is how we perceive destiny, a set mind toward the finality of an event manifested through a barrage of unanswered "ifs" and "buts," an intellectual exercise in futility, where the only delight is in the act itself of wishfully attempting to reverse events and their timing. Events perceived as chance are perceived as revelatory episodes leading to destiny followed by a willful surrender to the will of somebody "up there" who must have "arranged" such illogical sequence of events. This may be true if "somebody up there" is in the mold of Zeus, Venus, Hades or the Olympian gods who enjoy playing with the mortals' lives and actions. Destiny is never god-play. For a game called politics, the gods may not be willing to play; only the lesser gods of fame, wealth, corruption and elitism are willing to gamble, and obviously, they won.
The assumption of President-proclaimed Noynoy Aquino to the presidency is never borne out of destiny. Even the timing of Mrs. Corazon Aquino's death on the eve of the election does not belong to that category. Indeed, Mrs. Aquino's demise may be destiny, but not how the yellows and the sympathetic biased media swung such sad event and turned it around pathetically into a political leverage, as Noynoy Aquino stood at the parlor's seat ready to be remade, recast and reoriented toward a political stage and future, something he himself never thought or dreamt he would step into....

GMA claims presidency 'thrust' upon her in 2001 By Aytch S. de la Cruz 06/13/2010
GLORIA GOES ERAP-BASHING ANEW
GMA claims presidency 'thrust' upon her in 2001
By Aytch S. de la Cruz
Outbound President Arroyo harked back to the 2001 military-backed takeover of the presidency from popularly-elected President Joseph Estrada in defending her much-criticized nine-year administration, saying she did not seek the presidency but instead it was "thrust" upon her in one of her last major speeches before stepping down on June 30.
Arroyo speaking before to diplomats and government officials at a reception marking the country's 112th Independence Day tried to counter allegations of corruption and mismanagement during her nine-year rule, claiming she will leave behind an economically robust and politically stable country.
Arroyo was vice president in 2001 when Estrada was forced to step down after a military coup that was veiled as a popular uprising.
Arroyo, however, was believed to have been part of the plot to remove Estrada from power from the day he assumed the presidency after winning by a landslide in the 1998 elections.
The plot had among its members the Church hierarchy, the so-called civil society whose members were mainly the rich and now form the core of the political base of President-elect Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III, Makati-based businessmen and military generals allied with former President Fidel V. Ramos.
"It was thrust upon me. Rather than shirk from the onerous task, I rolled up my sleeves, determined to turn the Philippines around," Arroyo said.
Arroyo, who will go down in history as the most unpopular president ever for the country, claimed she had reversed the country's economic decline by raising revenues, investment in infrastructure and posting 37 quarters of growth and promoting last month's first nationwide automated elections which she will change the face of Philippine politics.
She detailed the efforts of her government to bring the country back on the global map.
She claimed that when she took over as President in 2001, the Philippines was in a dismal situation.
"Internationally, the Philippines has fallen far, far off the radar screen. It had forfeited its strategic importance, weakened its alliances in the region and the world, and taken itself out of consideration by investors as a place to invest," she said.
It was during her watch, however, that the Philippines was considered in consecutive surveys of international institutions such as the Political and Economic Risk Consultancy (PERC), the Transparency International and the Global Competitiveness surveys as among the most corrupt country in the world.
It was also during her administration that the budget deficit hit record levels and she is leaving the government with a back-to-back budget blowout last year and this year of more or less P300 billion.
However, she claimed in her speech the government's dire financial situation which her administration inherited from the previous predecessor is now "in a much healthier position today than nine years ago."
"We will leave a legacy of hard work, a strong and stable economy and renewed global engagement, major investments in health care, education and physical infrastructure," Arroyo said.
"I know much work remains to be done, but I am determined to turn over to a new government a new Philippines, one that is ready for the challenges of bringing the nation to the verge of first world in 20 years," she added..... MORE

CJ pleads for unity in freedom day speech 06/13/2010
Embattled Chief Justice Renato Corona appealed for unity among Filipinos during his Independence Day celebration speech yesterday at the historic General Emilio F. Aguinaldo Shrine in Kawit, Cavite making broad references to his current ordeal of being rejected by President-elect Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III.
Aquino had made public his desire that Corona, an appointee of outbound President Arroyo, give way to another member of the Supreme Court as Chief Justice to be chosen by Aquino.
In his speech, Corona said if the Filipino nation will be united, everyone will be able to help the government solve whatever crisis is facing the country.
He also stressed that the Constitution should be used for protecting the right of every Filipino citizen.
Corona, who was appointed Chief Justice by Arroyo last May 17, was assigned to also lead the traditional wreath-laying ceremonies at the tomb of General Aguinaldo.
Corona added the judiciary will not remain dormant in his watch and vowed to continue the reforms instituted by his predecessor, retired Chief Justice Reynato Puno.
"We shall not have a dormant judiciary in my watch. To be sure, a strong, competent, incorruptible and independent judiciary is the protector of our rights and liberties, and without doubt, the last bulwark of democracy," the newly appointed SC chief said.
He also vowed to continue the reforms begun, which aims to improve the judiciary even further in every aspect possible, and strengthen the great institution of the SC.... MORE
Yellow groups: Appointees 'left-over seeds' of Gloria 06/13/2010
Groups supporting President-elect Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III called on the so-called midnight appointees of outgoing President Arroyo, which some estimates put at as much as 250, to either not accept their designations or resign calling them "left-over seeds" for the countries continued discord.
The letter stated that the midnight appointees were sown by an exiting president who apparently does not care for (the) people's united effort to move forward with their new leader.
"The need for unity is even more compelling now as our society emerges from nine years of politics damaged by questions of the legitimacy of the outgoing Arroyo Administration," the letter said.
The letter was signed by the Former Senior Government Officials (FSGO), the Management Association of the Philippines (MAP), the Makati Business Club (MBC) and the US Pinoys for Good Governance.
The statement was an apparent reaction to the statement of Albay Rep. Edcel Lagman, an Arroyo ally, that the appointees are covered by the Civil Service Law and cannot be dismissed as Aquino had indicated since their appointments, made before the onset of the elections ban under Constitution, were presumed legal and valid.
Aquino's supporters, however, said the midnight appointees do not have to accept "these very questionable appointments that would pressure the new administration to uproot them."
"We note with admiration the fine example of (Arroyo) manicurist Anita Carpon who was reported to have declined her midnight appointment to the Board of the Pag-IBIG Fund. The delicadeza evident in the restraint of a simple manicurist is a modest but much appreciated contribution to our people's unity behind the new administration," the letter read.
It issued an appeal to the other midnight appointees "to rise to the level of Ms. Carpon by voluntarily resigning from the posts to which they were appointed starting March this year, without prejudice to the new President re-appointing those among them who are qualified. Doing so shall demonstrate their good-faith intention to serve our people honourably and well."... MORE
Palace team ironing out kinks in gov't vacancies — Mendoza By Aytch S. de la Cruz 06/13/2010
Glitches on the continuous efforts of the outgoing Arroyo administration in turning the government over to President-elect Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III are now being addressed particularly the issue on discordant appointments, Executive Secretary Leandro Mendoza yesterday said.
In a chance interview shortly after Malacañang's Independence Day engagement with the members of the diplomatic corps, Mendoza relayed that they are now in close coordination with the members of the Aquino transition team on how to fix the discrepancies on the government positions filled and unfilled by the departing President Arroyo.
Mendoza said he already explained to his successor, the incoming Execuitive Secretary Paquito Ochoa, during their meeting held last Friday at Malacañang's Bahay Pangarap that there are about 4,500 co-terminus government positions they need to fill, excluding those who belong to the housekeeping division of Malacañang and its related offices.
He mentioned that the incoming administration might encounter some difficulty in fielding people in these 4,500 posts immediately but this is now being addressed by them through careful and through negotiations with the other camp.
The chief Palace aide explained that making new appointments is never an easy task especially when it comes to the housekeeping division and personal staff of the leaving administration who have been serving Malacañang for decades now even dating back to the Marcos period thus they have already started apprehending some personnel.
"Actually, (there is already an)apprehension of everybody because, of course, they have some functions to attend to. (If they leave), who will carry on such functions? Actually, they (Aquino camp) are attending to that (possible vacancies) already. But, of course, you cannot recruit many people (into the government) that quick," Mendoza said..... MORE
Comelec, PPCRV, SC feted for role in auto polls 06/13/2010
Various public figures and members of the diplomatic corps have graced Malacañang's annual vin d' honneur in celebration of the 112th Independence Day yesterday which is President Arroyo's last as head of the state.
Malacañang took the occasion to grant presidential merits and citations to the Commission on Elections (Comelec), Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV) and the Supreme Court (SC) in recognition of their "invaluable contribution to the conduct of the national elections of May 10, 2010."
These three key institutions from the public and private sector were said to have represented a "historic milestone" in ensuring the success of the 2010 automated elections as well as in upholding the exercise of popular democracy that served as "an inspiring testament to the sovereignty of the Filipino people."
Accepting the presidential citation for the PPCRV was its chairman, Henrietta de Villa, and for the Comelec were Commissioners Rene Sarmiento and Lucenito Tagle.... MORE

It was the second report of killings of civilians by the Abu Sayyaf in Basilan this month.
Abu Sayyaf was set up with seed money from al-Qaeda in the early 1990s and is suspected by the military of tactical ties with Jemaah Islamiyah, a Southeast Asian Islamist group blamed for several attacks in Indonesia..... MORE

China Closes Tibet for Foreign Tourists Ahead of 52nd Anniversary
Tuesday, 08 March 2011 15:53 YC. Dhardhowa, The Tibet Post International
Dharamshala: China has closed off Tibet to foreign tourists, according to the state controlled media 'Xinhua', two days before the 52nd anniversary of the Tibetan national uprising in the Himalayan region. In recent months, hundreds of police and armed Chinese military personnel were also deployed to Tibet's capital of Lhasa and other major cities and towns in Tibet.
The closure was "mainly due to the current cold winter weather, limited accommodation capacity and safety concerns," the official Xinhua news agency quoted Zhang Qingli, the regional secretary for the ruling Communist Party, as claiming on Monday. Zhang claimed the suspension was also due to "lots of religious activities" which were planned and said the region was preparing for a "grand ceremony commemorating the 60th anniversary of the peaceful liberation of Tibet".
Thursday is the 52nd anniversary of a Tibetan uprising against Chinese rule on March 10, 1959. The anniversary protest on March 10, 2008 in Lhasa, the capital of Tibet, escalated into mass protest that left over a hundred people dead after China's deadly military crackdowns on peaceful Tibetan protesters, according to the Tibetan government-in-exile.
Ahead of the anniversary, China has increased the deployment of military forces in Lhasa city, particularly in the Barkhor Square of the ancient Jokhang temple of Tibet, where hugely armed military forces are usually deployed.
China closed all tours to Tibet following the 2008 rioting and has suspended foreign tours at least twice since then. Foreign tourists need a special permit in addition to a Chinese visa and they must register with a travel agency, while the region has always been closed to foreign journalists except for government-run tours.
Thursday is also the third anniversary of mass Tibetan peaceful demonstrations in all parts of Tibet. Some travel agencies have told AFP that overseas visitors won't be allowed into the heavily restricted region until April.
Foreign tourists were banned from traveling to the Himalayan region for more than a year after the peaceful demonstrations in March 2008, which left more than 220 dead and thousands of others missing, imprisoned and sentenced after deadly crackdowns by the Chinese armed forces.
Human rights groups have accused Chinese authorities of killing anti-government protesters during the brutal crackdown. The communist regime however has denied that violence was used on the Tibetan population during the failed uprising.

Old Man's Child (1993-present) is a Black Metal band from Oslo, Norway.
ormed in 1989 by vocalist and guitarists Thomas Rune Andersen (then under the stage name of Grusom, and now as Galder) and Jon Øyvind Andersen (a.k.a. Jardar), Old Man's Child were initially calling themselves Requiem, but by 1993 a name change and stable lineup had formed with the membership of themselves plus Pål Ivar(Real Name: Byrnjard Tristan; bass) and Kenneth Åkesson (drums) to release their debut EP In The Shades Of Life (1996). By Born Of The Flickering (1996) Frode Forsmo (a.k.a. Gonde) had replaced Tristan, but Åkesson was soon to go by the time The Pagan Prosperity followed the next year. During this time many of the members were experimenting in other bands, a common practice in Norwegian black metal and indeed, Old Man's Child had by this time made the switch from basic heavy metal into black metal.
Ill Natured Spiritual Invasion was next in 1998, but the band was now a duet with only Galder and Gene Hoglan (ex-Strapping Young Lad/ex-Dark Angel/ex-Testament/ex-Death/ex-Daemon) as a session drummer. But when Revelation 666: The Curse Of Damnation was released in 2000 the whole band had been replaced with himself as the only remaining constant to add Mennoch (bass), Grimar (drums), the returning Kenneth Åkesson and Jardar.Galder went off to join Dimmu Borgir, but never gave up on Old Man's Child, and after a three year break would return with In Defiance Of Existence in 2003 with only himself, Jardar and Nicholas Barker (ex-Cradle Of Filth/ex-Dimmu Borgir/ex-Lock Up) on drums.

Food production and preservation is an important social issue of increasing concern from ancient time onwards. The practice of fruit/vegetable coating was accepted long before their associated chemistries were understood, and are still practiced till date and deserves allocation of more research efforts to investigate the health effects by consumption of coated fruits and vegetables. Morpholine, O(CH2CH2)2NH is a common solvent and emulsifier used in the preparation of wax coatings for fruits and vegetables. Morpholine, by itself, in the doses that are present in fruits and vegetables probably does not constitute a health risk. However, it undergoes nitrosation during the digestion process if there are excess nitrites, formed mainly from naturally occurring nitrate in the diet to form Nnitrosomorpholine (NMOR), a genotoxic carcinogen. Although there is no direct human data on nitrosation rate of morpholine to NMOR, but according to Health Canada Health Hazard Assessment (HHA) 2008 report on Morpholine in wax coatings of apples, safe dose of morpholine in humans is 4.3ng/body weight/day. Sufficient NMOR can be produced in the human gut after ingestion of morpholine-treated fruits/vegetables to pose a health risk raising the need for its effective removal from fruits and vegetables and educating consumers about this risk.

Q: Combining tranformations on a vector. Suppose I do the following to a vector in $\mathbb{R}^{2}$

*

*Reflect across x-axis

*Reflect across y-axis

*Reflect across origin

Now to do the tranformations one by one we could left-multiply the vector by the corresponding tranformation matrix to get final tranformed vector having final tranformation as the effect the three.
If I have to do the transformation in one step then I would need a tranformation matrix representing the combined effect of all the three transformation.
Let us define the tranformation as A, B and C for relecting across x-axis, y-axis and the origin respectively.
As far as I know we have to take product of three matrices as (C.B.A) to get the combined effect.
My question is why are we multiplying it rather than adding it? What geometric interpretations it would have if we added the matrix instead of multiplying as I mentioned?

A: That's because the matrix of the composition is the product of the matrices. The sum of two matrices corresponds to the sum of two linear maps, not to their composition. Besides, if it did, then the composition $f\circ g$ of two linear maps $f$ and $g$ would always be equal to $g\circ f$, but, in general, it is not.

The trailer gives us our first proper look at the sequel to the iconic Robin Williams film. The storyline has been given an update, with 'Welcome To The Jungle' transporting four high school kids into the world of Jumanji via a retro four-player video game.

The first images from the film prompted complaints over the skimpy nature of Karen Gillan's costume, which the US trailer attempts to address (watch the American 'Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle' trailer here).
"Why am i wearing a half a shirt, and short shorts… in the jungle?" her character, the slightly frumpier of the two girls, asks incredulously.

I just wanted to chime in that I am also having the same issue.
Can these two errors please be fixed soon?
BTW, I'm using the FunGames template and the MyArcadePlugin Pro plugin if that helps.
Everything was working for me but now when I logged in… same problem!
I installed the same buyddpress and bbpress versions on another server and it works perfectly, so why doesn't it work on another installation?
I am having the same problem. I get this error while creating a group from website admin area. When I create group from there it takes me to the front end of website. I gives the error on "Step 3 Forum".
Type Description	This type of error indicates that PHP cannot continue to run the code. Typical causes of this type of error are code bugs that have typos, missing or incomplete files (such as a file that was only partially uploaded), and the code using more memory than it is allowed.
3. Save the file and upload it to the directory above.
I'm now able to create groups. Hopefully things stay inline during the next BP or bpPress update.
Looks good with the new update!

What Supergirl's Immigration Allegory Gets Right (and Wrong)
By Angelica CabralApr 8th, 2019, 1:33 pm
The beginning of this season of The CW's Supergirl had me rolling my eyes at the comparison between real life immigrants and space aliens. For one, it seemed like too easy of a comparison to make, and an unfair one considering the history of the word alien being used to describe immigrants. I thought it would be just another trite conversation about immigration out of obligation, because that's what everyone is talking about right now.
As the daughter of an immigrant who's seen firsthand how immigrants suffer, I wasn't having it.
When I was a sophomore in college, I got it in my head that I was going to join the Brown Berets. For those who are unaware, it's a group similar to the Black Panthers, but for the Latinx community. They're what some might call radical activists, and I felt like I had to do something to better my people's cause.
I felt a sense of responsibility to use my upbringing, as a daughter of an immigrant who grew up upper-middle class, to use the political power that is afforded to me. I ended up taking a different route, but the idea of the radical POC and what it means to stand up against the powers that be stuck with me.
Thankfully, as this season of Supergirl developed, I found the immigration storyline to be full of nuance, and the allegory to be an apt one. While it's not perfect (I'll discuss that some more later), it does get a lot of stuff right, and I would argue it's the most compelling conversation about immigration on television right now.
For one, the idea of a radical activist has been a particularly powerful image. Of course, I don't believe in killing people, but Manchester's methods have been fascinating to watch. I think many of us in oppressed positions have thought at least once or twice about what it would be like to put our words into our fists and fight back against the people who wish to do us harm verbally and physically.
Sometimes, I get sick of having to be the bigger person and show patience, as my mother does. It's tough to have to talk things through with people who wish to show dominance over you. We feel fear about showing our own toughness, and thus, their behavior remains unchecked.
Supergirl gets this aspect right, but also takes these characters' behaviors too far, effectively dehumanizing them. They don't regret their actions the way a real person would and thus don't deal with the consequences, making them out to be heartless perpetrators, and taking so much time on this aspect effectively reverses the progress I believe Supergirl is trying to make.
To people watching at home with more conservative leanings, it makes it seem like this issue of murderous immigrants and their allies is a far bigger problem than it really is. It makes it seem like seeing immigrants as villainous opponents is a valid viewpoint, which I disagree with. I hope that with the death of Manchester Black (if he really is dead), this storyline has been put to rest.

On the other hand, a storyline that I wish would be further explored is the use of the image inducer. I'm mixed race (part Caucasian, and people can definitely tell) and light-skinned myself, so I'll never know what it's like to suffer the racism dark-skinned people face. That being said, I don't think I would choose to be white, and I don't think any of my peers would choose to do so, either. To do that willingly would be erasing the centuries of my people's history that exists in my genetics.
So, it's interesting to me that so many of the aliens have chosen to look like humans in this series—enough of them that it would cause a panic when the image inducers all got turned off. I found it powerful when Brainy was caught in a deli where he thought the people there liked him, and they turned on him when he looked like an alien again. But Brainy doesn't strike me as the kind of alien who would use one in the first place, and I especially don't think that he would keep it as he becomes the type of immigrant willing to start a large-scale protest.
Speaking of the protest, Alex Danvers' behavior has also had an impact on me this season. I believe many of her more recent actions were taken because she doesn't remember her sister is an alien anymore. Alex's actions bring up an interesting conversation of whether it's better to be a part of the system, or work outside of it, for progress.
Brainy, Alex, and Supergirl all work within the system to a certain degree. For many immigrants and people of color who face oppression, this is a viable option because they don't have a choice. They need to have a job, make money, and work with the people oppressing them in order to survive. These are all valid needs for them, and I don't judge them when they're not being radical or protesting.
In the context of the show, I believe this only applies to Brainy. He's displaced and unknowledgeable about the world he's in; working for the DEO is really the only thing he can do. The same cannot be said for Alex and Supergirl herself, Kara. Watching them continue to try to be diplomatic with people who want to see aliens destroyed is exhausting. I would love to see them be more radical—as was hinted at when Alex removed Ben Lockwood from the stage—as it becomes clearer that working for the system might not be effective.
The important thing about Supergirl is it's trying, and that, in and of itself, is a good thing. Of course, it could be improved, but it's worth noting that a superhero show is making its best attempt at having this conversation about immigration. Maybe that's not that surprising considering Superman's roots of being originally created and written by the children of Jewish immigrants, and Greg Berlanti, showrunner and one of the main writers, has cited his Italian ancestry as a point of contention in his community during his upbringing.
But the conversation around immigration has grown significantly bigger in the years since Superman was created and Berlanti was a kid. Nowadays, maybe having more immigrants or people of color in the writers' room would help them tell this story in a more compelling way.
