– Plato, in his book The Republic, written in 380 B.C.
This month I want to report a case in progress in the hope of demonstrating the powerful nutritional support that BioSuperfood can provide. This is the case of a Daniel, a 53 years old man diagnosed in October 2007 with pancreatic cancer. Daniel has requested that we respect his privacy in order to protect him from his oncologist and health insurance.
Daniel was told at the time that he had 3 months to live, to pack his affairs. Yet, he was also urged by his oncologist to follow aggressive chemotherapy treatments. He has followed since the advises of his oncologist.
On November 15th, 2007, a CT-SCAN of the abdominal and pelvis region found an hypodense mass in the pancreas with a size 3.3 X 2.2cm, and multiple hypodense lesions in the liver; the largest measuring 20mm, and at least 12 other involving every segment of the liver and measuting less then 10 mm.
This CT-SCAN shows clearly that the cancer had also progressed (metastized) to the liver.
At that time, out of desperation Daniel decided to take as an adjunct the BioSuperfood supplements at a rate of one half capsule each 30 minutes of his wake day, approximately 20 to 24 times per day. Because he was also medicated for a high blood pressure condition, the BioSuperfood program was started gradually and has remained at the half capsule dose as opposed to the full capsule.
When he started the BioSuperfood program, he was suffering from the many side effects of chemotherapy; depression, low energy, appetite loss, etc. Within one week of taking BioSuperfood he began to feel better, to feel energy, his appetite and capacity to function returned. In late December of 2007 his physician stopped the high blood pressure medication because there was no more high pressure.
As of February 17th, 2008, he has maintained his energy, appetite, and general well being and capacity to function. He has followed his oncologist treatments to the letter and remains fearful of not following his oncologist's advice. Yet he has also been discipline and continues taking half capsule of BioSuperfood each 30 minutes of his wake day.
On February 4th, 2008, a CT-SCAN of the abdominal and pelvis region found an UNCHANGED hypodense mass in the pancreas with a size 3.3 X 2.2cm, and MARKED REGRESSION of the liver lesions; the largest lesion is still seen and measuring 20mm. The other 12 hypodense lesions are not identified anymore.
In essence, this CT-SCAN shows a clear STABILIZATION and a certain REMISSION of the cancer. The oncologist admitted to Daniel that he has never seen in 20 years of practice such positive results.
I hope that you do not misread this partial description of the case. Pancreatic cancer is statistically the deadliest cancer. Daniel's battle is not over. But so far he has easily doubled his given 3 months ticket on life, and there are clear signs that he will live through this year and beyond.
After the beginning of the industrial revolution, researchers identified ways to replicate molecules of vitamins normally occurring in nature. With that the supplementation industry was born. Today many vitamins can be synthesized from substances ranging from corn syrup to coal tar. It is with these synthetics and the help of thousands of promotional articles published daily in hundreds of publications, newsletters and other media, that the multi billions dollars supplements industry capitalizes on the failure of the pharmaceuticals industry.
This industry has become so complex to be blinding even for the experts. From hundreds of supplements offered, results thousands of choices for the consumer with variants in regulations, ingredients, sources, mixes, labeling, quality, manufacturers, confusing descriptions, and outrageous claims. At the rate that new molecules and their metabolic functionality are identified, like COQ10, alpha lipoic acid, selenium, etc, hundreds of supplements are introduced annually in your vitamin store, or on the Internet.
After many years of using and learning about supplements, in the process realizing their inefficiency and potential danger, I abandoned all non food supplementation for myself and my clients eight years ago. Fortunately one alternative solution had been there all along; "Natural Supplementation". This simple yet powerful solution eliminates 95% of supplements, and cuts right through complexities and confusion about supplementation.
Over the next several issues of BioNews, in a series called "Supplementation", I will shed light on this important health topic. My goal is that you too will be delivered from the grasp of the supplementation industry.
When is natural really natural?
Some scientist say that synthetic vitamins have identical chemical structure as natural vitamins do; some say that they are just as effective. At one time many scientists believed the world to be flat. In the laboratory, chemists can duplicate sea water that looks chemically identical to natural sea water, but when fish are placed in this synthetic water they die.
In this series, I start with proposing that the only "real" natural vitamins are those that occur complete with their complex family of micro-nutrients (known and unknown) within the whole food in its natural state, like vitamin C of green pepper. The balance and synergy between these micro-nutrients cannot be duplicated and is indispensable for proper assimilation, cellular absorption and utilization. Natural vitamins is the best way to benefit cellular nutrition without toxicity. Synthetic and isolated vitamins not only lack the supporting balance and synergy of natural vitamins, but often will cause metabolic imbalances.
Vitamin C as naturally occurring in citrus fruits, acerola cherries and a myriad other fruits and vegetables, comes as a complex containing vitamin P factors such as bioflavonoid and rutin, vitamin K, vitamin J, various enzymes and coenzymes plus a small amount of ascorbic acid, the antioxidant of the complex. In the supplementation industry, vitamin C is rated according to the amount of ascorbic acid it contains. Ascorbic acid is not vitamin C, ascorbic acid is ascorbic acid, a fraction of the biologically utilizable natural vitamin C complex. Most vitamin C (ascorbic acid) on the market are produced synthetically. According to The New York Times, a team of British pathologists at the University of Leicester studied 30 healthy men and women for six weeks, giving them 400 milligrams of synthetic vitamin C daily in the form of ascorbic acid. They found that at this level, vitamin C promoted damage to the DNA in these individuals.
Dr. Szent-Gyorgi won the Nobel Prize in Medicine, in the 1930s for identifying vitamin C and all its many health benefits. Although he successfully isolated the molecule ascorbic acid in his research, his studies clearly demonstrated the vastly superior benefits of consuming foods rich in vitamin C. For this reason, even though he discovered ascorbic acid, he did not recommend its use! In fact, Dr. Szent-Gyorgi affirmed over and over again that the best results occurred when people consumed vitamin C in its natural food form.
Yet even with these facts known, as much as 97% percent of vitamin C supplements are calcium ascorbate, ascorbic acid, magnesium ascorbate or potassium ascorbate. Despite marketing claims, these laboratory-produced molecules are not natural vitamin C, far from it. They are chemically synthesized molecules manufactured in test tubes and often made from genetically modified corn sugar. These synthetic molecules mimic ascorbic acid, which is only one of the numerous life-supporting molecules found in 100% natural vitamin C.
Over the years, as the scientists keep uncovering the assimilation requirements of vitamin C, you may have noticed the marketeres of vitamin C adding those required factors. In 1970 synthetic ascorbic acid was sold stand alone as vitamin C; in the 80's, scientists identified the need of zinc for human assimilation of vitamin c; the marketers proceeded to add zinc to their vitamin C supplement; by 2000 we know that vitamin A and E are required, in 2005 we know that bioflavanoids are required and the marketers are now adding these flavanoids to their formula. This will go on until we realize that the only way to reach full vitamin C functionality is when eating the whole green pepper. In the mean time millions of people are buying synthetic and dysfunctional vitamin C.
We are familiar with many scientific studies demonstrating vitamin C's important health-enhancing and antioxidant benefits. What we may not know is that much of this research is conducted using foods high in vitamin C and not synthetic ascorbic acid supplements. The proven health benefits we all associate with vitamin C are actually created by the intricate interaction of numerous supportive co-factors found only in food, not in isolated, synthesized molecules. Test-tube vitamin C simply cannot re-create the magnificent synergy of whole-food vitamin C. This is a significant distinction. Unbiased scientists and healthcare providers consistently emphasize the importance of obtaining all our nutrients from mixed whole foods.
And what about Vitamin B?
In 1920, the vitamin B-1 compound was identified. By 1970, ten other members of the vitamin B complex had been identified, bringing the total number of B factors to eleven. Following the current supplementation industry principle, had you selected to take the newly isolated B-1 compound in 1920, you would have missed out on the rest of the B factors, which we know today, are all required to occur "together" in order to efficiently fight stress. Had you relied instead on a diet rich in b-complex vitamins, like fruits and vegetables, you would have gotten all the vitamin B factors known, including those still unknown that are yet to be identified!
Most micro-nutrients are found in families or complex like those of vitamin C and B. Another example is beta-carotene that is sold as a separate supplement. You can be certain that most beta-carotene on the market are isolated synthetic compounds made from acetylene gas. It's no wonder that testing done with the synthetic form of beta-carotene produces mixed results, and even hazard to health. In nature, beta-carotene is part of a large family of carotenoids that never occur alone. For example, even in the carrot and tomatoes you find beside beta-carotene, other wonderful carotenoids like alpha-carotene, cantozantheen, gamma-carotene, licopene, omega-carotene, etc. And although beta-carotene is a popular antioxidant, the unknown cantozantheen is more effective as an antioxidant then beta-carotene, while the even less known alpha-carotene is at least 20 times more effective then beta-carotene. When isolating beta-carotene from its natural family of carotenoids, supposed experts or marketers are removing other beneficial antioxidants, and more importantly their synergistic power when working together. Even the American Cancer Society recommends that the best source of cancer fighting nutrients should be obtained from a diet rich in mixed fruits and vegetables.
Fortunately, more and more biochemical experts now realize that without the whole-food complex, the body does not achieve the intended nutrition. They also know that isolate vitamins and supplements lack the full complex and cannot function as claimed. On the contrary, their research is proving synthetics and isolates to cause imbalances and nutritional deficiencies, forcing the body to use its own reserves of nutrients and energy in the futile attempt to make these incomplete vitamins work.
Yet there is a greater increase in the industry promotional activities for synthetic supplements.
Are there any Probiotics in BAC?
There are no Probiotics in BAC, but when consuming BAC, instead of allopathically supplementing Probiotics for life, your natural intestinal bacterial balance will be restored along with many other vital health metabolisms.
Bacteria are naturally available in our tracks by the trillion. There are more bacteria in our guts then cells in our body.
Typically, poor foods, environmental toxins, and stress conspire to acidify the body bathing it in damaging free radicals. Normally the ratio of friendly to bad bacteria in our digestive tracks should be 85% / 15%, while in America it is reversed to 15% / 85%, setting the stage for exhaustion, acidity, chronic pain, rapid aging and a host of degenerative diseases.
According to Wikepedia, Probiotics are dietary supplements containing potentially beneficial bacteria or yeasts. According to the currently adopted definition by FAO/WHO, Probiotics are: "Live microorganisms which when administered in adequate amounts confer a health benefit on the host".
This definition does not tell you that there are many natural ways to maintain or regain your own intestinal beneficial microorganisms, as opposed to supplementing for life, nor of any other natural sources to replenish them.
Thus the industry has cooked up a large business of selling Probiotics and no solution. The issue when you take Probiotics, is that you do not resolve the problem, you simply patch the symptoms for a while.
The smarter way to return the critical pH balance is in stopping overeating, the junk foods, the bad diet, sugars, alcohol, cigarettes, etc, and in adding fresh fruits and vegetables, exercise, and other good life style changes.
When using BAC, you support the body's return to intestinal vitality in a natural and wholistic way. BAC stimulates the pancreas to efficiently alkalize the digestive system, which promotes the return of a healthy intestinal flora and bacterial balance. Instead of just "patching" the symptoms, BAC via efficient cellular nutrition invigorates and tones the entire digestion in a gentle, and even pleasant way.
With the return of the critical pH balance comes; reduction of pain, regeneration of the intestinal lining, allowing it to hold more water and less salt; removal of carcinogenic buildup of old matter; vitality of both extremes of bowel activity; and soon there is restored micro bacterial flora of your digestive tacks.
Processed foods and antibiotics deplete the friendly microbes necessary for healthy intestinal function. BAC rapidly restores beneficial flora, so food, nutrients, and supplements are more completely digested and assimilated.
With regular use of BAC, efficient detoxification takes place, the pancreas and the liver are cleansed, nourished, and stimulated to regenerate and fully perform their critical functions.

For Hundreds of Years, Pandemics Have Reshaped the Way We Work
War and Imperialism
Freg J. Stokes
The outcomes of class conflicts throughout history have been influenced by how workers and rulers respond to pandemics. As we emerge from this pandemic, the fight for fairer work regimes is our urgent task.
The bubonic plague ravaged Europe, sending the creaking feudal system into its final death spasms. (Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Triumph of Death , c. 1562, Museo del Prado, Madrid.)
When we imagine the four horsemen of the apocalypse, we think of War, Famine, Pestilence, and Death operating together to devastate human populations. But the current pandemic has shown there is a fifth rider in this malevolent troop: Work. From Singapore to Paris, COVID-19 has become entrenched in communities of precarious, low-wage workers. Unsafe working conditions and ongoing labor casualization have facilitated the spread of the virus across the world.
While we associate these conditions with the latest phase of capitalism, the interwoven dynamic of pandemics, labor regimes, and class struggle dates back seven centuries. There have been three major cycles: the Black Death hammered a stake through the heart of European feudalism in the fourteenth century; the European invasion of the Americas, with its accompanying wave of pandemics, aided in the birth of capitalism; and the last two centuries have seen a sequence of global pandemics accelerate alongside deforestation and the expansion of industrial capitalism. At every stage of this seven-hundred-year saga, the outcomes of class conflicts have been influenced by how workers and rulers respond to pandemics. The aftermath of the current crisis will be no exception.
Black Death and the End of Feudalism, 1300s to 1400s
Between 1347 and 1352 the bubonic plague ravaged Europe, sending the creaking feudal system into its final death spasms. The plague's spectacular spread throughout Europe, where it killed at least a third of the population, and up to two-thirds in many areas, can be attributed in part to the already poor health of the region's inhabitants. Under late feudalism, the combination of grueling agricultural labor, famine, and inter-lordly warfare led to high levels of malnutrition among European peasants, making them more susceptible to the plague when it arrived. Work, the unsung horseman, was always at hand to assist his more famous accomplices, Famine, War and Pestilence.
Unsafe working conditions and ongoing labor casualization have facilitated the spread of the virus across the world.
The subsequent demographic collapse had unexpected consequences. With labor suddenly scarce, and land plentiful, peasants in many regions found themselves in a better position to take on the power of their feudal overlords. Peasants organized collectively to free themselves from feudal obligations, conducted rent strikes, and escaped to unoccupied land, ushering in what Silvia Federici and others have described as the "Golden Age of the European Proletariat."
While this period shouldn't be idealized, the available evidence suggests that over the next century, both peasants and urban workers were able to demand higher wages, cheaper food, and more days off for feasting and revelry, with the gap between men and women's wages also dropping significantly. In the wake of the Black Death, it was the workers rather than the feudal lords who had made the most of the social crisis.
In response, the European ruling classes sought to regain their dominance over labor. Demography alone did not determine the result of this conflict: these responses differed according to the balance of class forces in each region of Europe. In 1349, at the height of the bubonic plague, England introduced the "Ordinance of Labourers." In a move that would warm Boris Johnson's heart, the ordinance declared that wages could not exceed pre-plague levels, and all those under the age of sixty who refused to work would be imprisoned.
In the wake of the Black Death, it was the workers rather than the feudal lords who had made the most of the social crisis.
Due to peasant revolts, these measures failed, and it took later reforms such as the enclosure of common land in England to rob agricultural smallholders of their independence. In the Mediterranean, as the Black Death decimated the populations of Cyprus, Crete, and other sugar-growing islands, Italian sugarcane plantation owners turned to slavery to guarantee a controllable supply of labor. The Portuguese and Spanish would continue this brutal experiment in the Americas, aided in their endeavors by a new cycle of pestilence.
American Pandemics and the Birth of Capitalism, 1500s to 1700s
The biggest windfall for the European ruling classes in their fightback against labor was the invasion of the Americas. The Iberian conquests unleashed a series of rolling epidemics on Indigenous populations, including smallpox, measles, influenza, dysentery, and more. The exact population of the Americas in 1492 is a source of contention, but most current estimates assume a mortality rate of over 90 percent between 1492 and 1650, implying a total death toll of anywhere between 50 and 90 million. This cataclysmic loss of life was exacerbated by the imposition of European work regimes, which used Indigenous labor to open new silver and sugar commodity frontiers. Once again, Work, the fifth horseman, aided his accomplice Pestilence.
The pandemics in the Americas helped create the conditions for the transatlantic slave trade.
This demographic implosion created the same problem for the conquistadores that the feudal lords of Europe faced with the Black Death: a diminishing population who used a variety of methods to resist the labor demands placed on them. Various Guaraní leaders in the Atlantic rainforest of South America allied with Jesuit missionaries to publicize their conflict with Spanish colonists. In their denunciations, they explicitly linked exploitation in their workplaces to the spread of disease in their communities:
The Karai (Spaniards) don't pay us for our exhaustion. What we bring from [the worksites] is fatigue; sickness is what we bring. Of our people, many frequently die on the road, others as they arrive, others stay sick forever . . .
But the missionaries were often as exploitative as the conquistadores, and many Indigenous communities in the Atlantic rainforest, the Amazon, and elsewhere chose social isolation over negotiation, retreating from colonized areas and minimizing contact with invading forces. Just as our options are limited today as we try to defend our labor rights during a pandemic, these Indigenous communities worked within the narrow range of choices available to them: some attempted to negotiate their work conditions while others refused to work at all.
The pandemics in the Americas also helped create the conditions for the transatlantic slave trade. In response to the difficulties of controlling Indigenous labor in the midst of multiple disease outbreaks, the European powers began abducting young people from the coasts of Africa. The profits from new commodity frontiers using enslaved labor in the Americas, such as sugar, cotton, and gold, were channeled back into Europe and helped kickstart the Industrial Revolution.
While there are ongoing debates about how, when, and where capitalism began, two commonly mentioned factors are the establishment of the plantation slavery system in the Americas and the growth of a market-dependent working class in England, forced into the cities by the enclosures and other events. Both these new labor regimes came about, in part, through ruling class attempts to reassert their power over rebellious workers in the wake of pandemics.
To tip the balance of forces back in their own favor, the governing classes had to create new, interlocking systems of oppression, with the "veiled slavery of the wage-earners in Europe" built on "slavery, pure and simple, in the New World," as Karl Marx put it. While this is only one part of the story, amid the broader complexities a clear thread runs between the pandemics in Europe and the Americas, the subsequent labor conflicts in both regions, and the birth of capitalism.
But the contest between labor and capital didn't end here. Even on the plantations, enslaved workers found ways to weaponize diseases against their oppressors. The slave trade had also enabled the transfer of new mosquito-borne illnesses to the Americas, such as malaria and yellow fever, which rapidly became endemic in the tropical zones of the Caribbean and the mainland. During the slave revolts on Saint-Domingue, the revolutionary leader Toussaint Louverture used his knowledge of these diseases to overcome his French and English adversaries.
A clear thread runs between the pandemics in Europe and the Americas, the subsequent labor conflicts in both regions, and the birth of capitalism.
Louverture and the other black Jacobins took advantage of the differential immunity between local rebel populations and the incoming European soldiers, drawing their opponents into protracted guerrilla conflict during the rainy season. Haiti's independence in 1804 can be attributed in large part to the success of this biological warfare. The fear of Haitian-style uprisings spreading elsewhere then played a significant role in the abolition of slavery in the nineteenth century. Unfortunately, this was only a partial victory for the global forces of labor. During this same period, the European powers embarked on a new wave of colonization in Asia and Africa, unleashing new pandemics in the process.
Global Pandemics, Forests and Farms, 1800s to 2020
Over the last two centuries, fossil-fuel powered capitalism has fast-tracked the expansion of commodity frontiers into tropical rainforests alongside the rise of industrial-scale agriculture, with these dual developments opening a Pandora's box of pestilence. International trade networks have then aided the transmission of these diseases between exploited and exhausted populations across the planet.
As Mike Davis has pointed out, while this process has accelerated since the Second World War, precedents for the current crisis can also be found in the wave of pandemics instigated by nineteenth-century imperialism in Asia and Africa. The British invasion of India led to the transmission of cholera around the globe after 1817, through British naval and commercial networks. This is how a disease that first proliferated on the rice fields of the Ganges delta came to provide the backdrop for Gabriel García Márquez's Love in the Time of Cholera, set on the coast of Colombia.
Similar forces were at play with the spread of a new round of bubonic plague from Yunnan in China, where the Qing dynasty had opened a copper-mining frontier. In the province's dense montane rainforests, Yersinia Pestis, the bacterium that causes the plague, had been circulating among local rodent populations. By 1855, the disease had infected the encroaching miners, then spread to the coast and out of China along opium trade routes set up by the British, who were trying to crack open the Chinese market by peddling drugs to local workers. The "third plague," as it came to be known, killed over twelve million people and was considered active by the WHO until the 1960s.
The advance of commodity frontiers in the rainforests of central Africa has been a key vector for the emergence of new diseases, with HIV/AIDS being the most devastating example so far.
In the twentieth century, the advance of commodity frontiers in the rainforests of central Africa has been a key vector for the emergence of new diseases, with HIV/AIDS being the most devastating example so far. The European scramble for Africa inaugurated a rush of ivory and rubber extraction, with distant monarchs such as King Leopold of Belgium and the German Kaiser wringing a surplus out of unpaid local workers, at the cost of millions of lives.
Recent studies suggest that bushmeat consumption, most likely in the Congo or German Kamerun, led to the transmission of Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV) from chimpanzees to humans, resulting in the appearance of HIV-1. It is possible that this bushmeat was consumed by workers on forced labor expeditions, with the virus subsequently travelling by ferry and by rail along ivory and rubber export routes. From 1920s Kinshasa in the Belgian Congo, the virus then leapt over to Haiti after the Second World War before finally being identified in the United States in the 1980s.
In the decades since, the continued advance of fishing, mining, and other commodity frontiers in central Africa have aided the transfer of a growing list of pathogens from animals to humans, including the Zika, Chikungunya, Ebola, and Marburg viruses. Simultaneously, the factory farming of huge numbers of livestock has provided a breeding ground for influenza viruses, with multiple flu outbreaks between 1957 and 2010 driven by the interaction between humans, swine, and birds.
While the exact origin of the 1918–19 "Spanish" flu pandemic remains a source of contention, it is possible that it also transferred to humans from livestock, then spread through the ranks of weary young men carrying out military work for their European rulers before inflicting even greater carnage on populations in India and Iran worn down by British occupation. As always, brutalizing work regimes played their part alongside pestilence, war, and famine. It was no coincidence that this period also saw an astonishing array of strikes and protests, run by everyone from anti-colonial activists in Amritsar to anarchists in Buenos Aires and dressmakers in New York.

The origins of COVID-19 are also uncertain, but one frequently mentioned hypothesis is that it spread from bats to humans via captive pangolins. As Andy Liu has argued, the large scale consumption of pangolin scales and meat in China is a recent phenomenon, a gastronomic spectacle that serves as a marker of privilege in the midst of an economic boom. The fifth horseman fans workplace competition, status-seeking, and the breakdown of class solidarity by providing ever more extravagant luxuries for the well-waged. Like the growing worldwide appetite for pork and beef, the consumption of exotic wildlife in China has been fueled by the frenetic expansion of the capitalist world economy. And the unchecked growth of these commodity frontiers is sure to bring further plagues down upon us.
There is no truth to Australian prime minister Scott Morrison's clueless claim that the current pandemic is a "once-in-100-year type event." On the contrary, the latest scientific reports predict that if deforestation continues at current rates, we might have to endure five to six new epidemics a year. Commodity supply chains are driving this process at every step. The pigs in China and Europe that could be incubating the next influenza pandemic are fed on soybeans from plantations that are erasing the savannas and rainforests of South America. These are precisely the areas where new infectious agents, such as the Machupo virus (an arenavirus hosted by Amazonian rodents), have emerged in the last seventy years. The destruction of the Amazon rainforest, in turn, would accelerate global warming, leading to the further melting of Arctic permafrost, where anthrax and other long-dormant diseases are already being unleashed from the thawing carcasses of reindeer.
But there are steps we can take to avoid this nightmare scenario. For one, we need to break down the false divide between campaigns for workplace safety, Indigenous land rights, and environmental conservation. We shouldn't just defend biodiversity because we think monkeys and pangolins are cute: we should defend it because we don't want monkeys and pangolins to infect us with horrific new viruses. The best way to do this is to reduce deforestation and the illegal wildlife trade through the implementation and maintenance of well-protected ecological reserves and Indigenous territories.
It is in the health interests of urban workers to support the struggles of Indigenous peoples living in tropical rainforests and other biodiverse regions to prevent the further encroachment of commercial loggers and poachers into these areas. This means supporting Indigenous groups who are still resisting incorporation into capitalist extraction regimes, who are refusing to work for the fifth horseman. The COVID strikes in urban warehouses and the Indigenous campaigns against mining in the Amazon are two sides of the same struggle over health and labor.
Each wave of illness has exploited the weaknesses inflicted by the work regime of the day, but the resultant crises have also created opportunities to overthrow these regimes.
We can also build solidarity by recognizing that the last seven hundred years of pandemics and labor conflicts have affected both paid and unpaid workers, in the Global North and South. Each wave of illness has exploited the weaknesses inflicted by the work regime of the day, but the resultant crises have also created opportunities to overthrow these regimes.
As Naomi Klein notes, government technocrats, allied with Silicon Valley billionaires, are using COVID-19 to usher in a "screen new deal," papering over the cracks in the current system by forcing students and employees to learn and work at home, on call and under surveillance 24/7. If the horseman of Pestilence doesn't assail you on the street, the horseman of Work will trample you before you've even stepped out the door.
To push back and invent our own alternatives to this B-grade cyberpunk novel, we can look to past struggles across multiple continents. We can take inspiration from how medieval peasants in England, Guaraní communities in Paraguay, revolutionaries in Haiti, and dressmakers in New York fought for both the right to better-paid work, and the right to not work at all, amid devastating disease outbreaks.
The ongoing global wave of strikes by workers protecting their health amid the coronavirus pandemic, the campaign by Brazilian Indigenous peoples to install check points near their communities to maintain social isolation, along with international demands to de-commercialize aged care, are the modern continuation of this global tradition. Rather than forgetting these past generations, we can draw strength from their victories as we enter our own battle against the five horsemen of the capitalist apocalypse.

When we imagine the four horsemen of the apocalypse, we think of War, Famine, Pestilence, and Death operating together to devastate human populations. But the current pandemic has shown there is a fifth rider in this malevolent troop: Work. From Singapore to Paris, COVID-19 has become entrenched in communities of precarious, low-wage workers.

Q: What's a term for Sea Level Distance which is usable by novice users? I've been using the term Sea Level Distance to describe the total length of a line string where I ignore the elevation and just calculate the distance from point to point along the ellipsoid and sum the total.
Sea Level Distance has always seemed to be an artificial term for this. Slope Distance seems to naturally describe the distance when elevation is included. Is there a term for Sea Level Distance that is more natural and usable for novice users.

A: Geographic distance can be described in a number of ways, depending on the surface abstraction used:

*

*For flat surface models, Euclidean distance is appropriate.

*For spherical surface models, you would probably use great-circle
distance.

*For ellipsoidal surface models geodesic distance may be more
appropriate, as the shortest distance between two points on an
ellipsoid is not exactly the same as the great circle distance.

A: What about "2D distance"? That's a term i've used as opposed to 3D distance (your slope distance)

A: How about just using 'distance'?  Not sure what your application is, but most people would assume distance relates to the length of the path from one point to another following a given route.  Mind you, I'm from a flat part of the world and maybe it's different where you are.


The LOVERS - MOM Barista Collection series was created in cooperation with the industrial designer Lisanne van Zanten. Lisanne designed the barista collection, and invited illustrators to create a graphic design for the coffee cups.
The LOVERS series is a series dedicated to non-monogamous and/or queer forms of love. It shows love and intimacy in a polyamorous and/or queer setting. The reason that I chose to illustrate non-monogamous forms of love is because when it's showed in media, it's often showed being sexualised. With the LOVERS series I wanted to show intimacy and love.
Love is love, and there are lots of ways to share it.
The LOVERS series is also available as art prints and as postcard set.

Will Diddy Become Hip-Hop's 1st Billionaire? Check Out The 2014 Forbes 'Top 5 Richest Rapper' List
admin April 28, 2014 Comments Off on Will Diddy Become Hip-Hop's 1st Billionaire? Check Out The 2014 Forbes 'Top 5 Richest Rapper' List
– Written by GoodFellaz TV Staff
It's a race to a 'Billi', and some of Hip Hop biggest starts are closing in on the coveted $1 Billion mark.
According to Forbes Magazine, who recently released their annual 'Top 5 Wealthiest Hip Hop Artists of 2014' List, the top 5 biggest 'ballaz' in Hip Hop are:
Sean "Diddy" Combs- $700 Million
Dr. Dre- $550 Million
Jay-Z- $520 Million
Birdman- $160 Million
50 Cent- $140 Million
Diddy once again takes the #1 spot, with an estimated fortune of $700 Million, an increase of $120 Million from last year. The change comes largely from his stake of the mega-successful Ciroc liquor brand, and the addition of Revolt TV to his impressive portfolio.
Coming in at #2 this year, knocking Jay-Z down a notch, is the legendary Dr. Dre. The D-R-E has an estimated $550 M's in his bank account, climbing on the list due to the success of his Beats By Dre empire, which he co-founded with Interscope CEO Jimmy Iovine back in 2008, and now boasts an estimated $1 Billion in annual sales. Jay Z comes in at third place this year with an estimated $520 Million in the stash, raking in even more cash this year with his Samsung/ "Magna Carta Holy Grail" album deal, a world-wide tour, his ROC Nation imprint, and the success of his sports management company who most recently secured a $240 Million contract with Baseball super-star Robinson Cano.
Rounding out the list #4 is Bryan "Birdman" Williams with an estimated $160 Million, his split of the Cash Money empire he shares with brother Ronald "Slim" Williams. The duo cofounded Cash Money Records over two decades ago, and currently sports an impressive roster of super-star artists including Lil Wayne, Drake, and Nicki Minaj, as well as other successful ventures including GT Vodka, and their YMCMB & Trukfit clothing-lines.
At the #5 spot is 50 Cent, who owes most of his fortune to the success of his first couple of albums, G-Unit clothing line, and his $100 Million Vitaminwater pay-out in 2007. His currently business ventures include SMS Audio and SK Energy drinks. Fif has also recently shaken up his G-Unit record label, leaving long-time partner Interscope Records in favor of the independent route, and also disbanded the group G-Unit. He is set to release a new album "Animal Ambition" in June.
The 'Forbes Top 5' list takes in to account each artists past earnings, current holdings, and other investments, and can be found in the May 2014 issue of Forbes Magazine. So on behalf of the GoodFellaz, congratulations to each artist on the list, their moves are truly inspirational to people across the globe. Now let's see who will become the first Hip Hop Billionaire. Who do YOU think will make it there first?

Former Beatles Paul Mccartney and Ringo Starr Reunite at Los Angeles Concert
By Rodolfo Vieira
https://news.amomama.com/162037-former-beatles-paul-mccartney-ringo-star.html
Aside from the late John Lennon, Paul McCartney is the most beloved and well-known face of The Beatles, but Ringo Starr also has quite a lot of fans around the world.
On Saturday, July 13, the two former bandmates were able to play together once more during a soldout concert at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, Nevada.
At one point, McCartney addressed the crowd, announcing that he had a surprise for everyone before introducing the legendary drummer to the roaring crowd.
STARR PROVED THAT HE'S STILL GOT IT
The 79-year-old joined McCartney on stage, where he received a hug and a kiss on his forehead under the deafening cheers of those in attendance.
After a quick "I love you, man" from McCartney, Starr made his way behind the drummer kit to play the minute-long "Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)."
Starr also stuck around long enough to perform "Helter Skelter," from "The White Album." In the end, the drummer thanked the fans and McCartney for the opportunity before leaving the stage.
However, Starr wasn't the only surprise appearance of the night. Joe Walsh, the famous Eagles guitarist and Starr's brother-in-law, also stepped on stage to spread some of his magic.
The iconic artist joined McCartney midway through "Abbey Road's" closing medley and jumped in on the guitar solos of "The End," another popular song by The Beatles.
According to McCartney, the performance was completely improvised and none of them knew what they were actually doing, they just kept on playing without knowing where it would lead.
77 AND STILL ROCKING

The famous Beatle turned 77 last month, on June 18, but despite his age, he is still quite active and doesn't miss a chance to put on a show to please his fans.
McCartney marked his birthday by taking to his official Instagram account to share a black-and-white photo of himself with the words "You say it's your birthday, it's mine too," from the song "Birthday."

How to Control 3rd Party Apps in Hybrid Learning
The ability to control 3rd party apps access is a hot issue for K-12 IT admins planning for hybrid learning this year
Vendors flooded the K-12 market with remote learning resources such as free or reduced-price 3rd party apps when COVID-19 first shut down school buildings. Most of these Education Technology (EdTech) apps are offered on cloud-based SaaS architecture. If the SaaS isn't engineered with security in mind, it can cause real security headaches. And, there are a variety of other security issues that make it necessary for school districts to control 3rd party apps.
What are 3rd Party Apps?
PCMag.com defines 3rd party apps as "An application that is provided by a vendor other than the manufacturer of the device."
In education environments, most 3rd party apps are cloud apps that are connected to a Google or Microsoft domain using Open Authorization (OAuth). OAuth is popular because it saves users time when they login to their apps. For example, an app can let you log in using the credentials you use to login to Google. It cuts down on the number of logins a user needs to keep track of. It also allows the app access to different permissions, such as view, read, write, and/or send emails through Gmail.
There are tens of millions of apps available on Google and Apple app stores. The volume is undoubtedly one reason why even these two giants deal with malicious apps. For example, early in 2020, Google found fraudulent apps in their store that could cause significant problems for the owners of the 1.7 million devices that already had the apps installed.
3rd party apps are also available on many private websites. While most people know not to download apps that haven't at least been vetted by Google and/or Apple, less tech-savvy adults and younger students who don't know better could create real problems for IT admins. It's important to include a warning against those types of apps during internet education for students, staff, and teachers. Better yet is to have a formal 3rd party app policy that includes a list of approved apps and a process for vetting new apps.
"Shadow" 3rd Party Apps
One of the biggest challenges district IT admins have is finding ways to control 3rd party apps that are part of the tidal wave of EdTech being connected to their district domains. This has always been a problem, but it particularly ballooned out of control since remote learning began last spring. Those admins understand first-hand the meaning of "shadow" 3rd party apps.
TechTarget defines a shadow app as "a software program that is not supported by an employee's information technology department." IT teams have an even bigger challenge because not only are teachers using shadow apps for EdTech, but students are busy connecting shadow apps to district systems as well.
OAuth risks were an issue long before COVID-19 required schools to switch to remote learning almost overnight. EdTech security risks include ransomware vulnerabilities, account takeover risks, and data security threats for school districts that aren't monitoring and controlling app risk levels and activities.
Hybrid learning security increases the complexity of securing district data and information systems. IT teams need to start planning to monitor and control 3rd party apps that are creating these security risks in their environment.

How to Control 3rd Party Apps for Hybrid Learning
Our recent poll found that just over 60% of K-12 districts are planning for hybrid learning for the 2020/21 school year due to continued COVID-19 concerns. This means that students, teachers, and staff will be relying on cloud apps more than ever before. Controlling 3rd party apps, along with the variety of other K-12 cloud risks, is going to continue to be a challenge for many districts.
It's true that Google and Microsoft provide some type of native support to control 3rd party apps. The problem is that these native solutions require expensive upgrades to get close to real control and they aren't very user-friendly. Neither native solution provides an easy way to find and control 3rd party apps that shouldn't be connected to your district's domain. Nor do they allow you to automate 3rd party app management on a granular level. Controlling 3rd party apps is still a time-consuming and frustrating process.
Controlling 3rd Party Apps in Google Admin Console
Using Google's App Access Control feature, you can:
restrict access to most G Suite services
leave G Suite services unrestricted
trust specified apps to access restricted G Suite services
trust all domain-owned apps
Using this tool, you can review the apps that your users have authorized. You can see the number of users accessing the app, which G Suite services each app is using, and whether the app is verified to access certain restricted data. You can then assign each app to a category, including Unrestricted, Restricted, and Restricted – High-Risk. You can also add and delete apps from a "trusted" list.
When an app is trusted, it can access all Google services, but you can also make a trusted app limited, which means it can only access unrestricted Google services. Any internal apps that you build for your district can be trusted as a group, or you can assign them to a "trust internal, domain owned apps" category individually.
Building a trusted app list is time-consuming and difficult to manage. And, once you enable the restricted function in Admin Console, the policy is applied globally to your entire domain. There is no flexibility to allow certain apps for different OUs.
> Learn how to control 3rd party apps in Google Admin Console
Controlling 3rd Party Apps in Office 365 Advanced Security Management
When a user tries to connect an app to Office 365, a prompt will appear asking them to approve the permissions for that app. However, since many users don't read the permissions closely or don't know which apps should be allowed access, Microsoft also provides an App Permissions feature that District IT can use to manage the apps' access.
Using App Permissions, you can see which apps have access to Office 365 data, and the level of permission assigned. You can also see which users approved access to their accounts for each app. You can then approve the app or reverse its permissions, which will restrict its access to any users' data. If you do deny an app permission to access Office 365 data, you can send a notice to the users who approved the app to notify them that the app is no longer available.
Again, accomplishing these tasks in your console is "clunky" at best. It doesn't provide you granular control over approving, removing, sanctioning, and unsanctioning apps without the need for advanced coding and configurations.

ok, i've quietly sat by and refrained from making any comments about the current presidential race, but silence i can no longer keep.
bill clinton - while very charismatic and obviously successful in winning two presidential elections -- he is not america's first black president, and he is not running in 2008. hillary is. i think it is ridiculous that he has taken such a dominant position in her campaign. for someone who is trying to become the first female president, she sure is relying on her husband a lot. as a woman, she should be able to stand on her own two. if she's gonna play with the big boys, she needs to do it independent of her husband's political status.
bob johnson - i support the right for each and every eligible american citizen to vote for their candidate of choice. and no matter how much emphasis the media try to place on race, african americans (the author of this blog in particular) are capable of researching the issues and candidates, then making an educated decision. (and one a sidenote, every eligible african american should be researching and voting, if only to honor those who fought and died for us to have this opportunity). however, for bob johnson to think that bill and hillary are "deeply and emotionally involved in black issues" may be a bit of a stretch from reality. in this america obama is seen as a black man by most. and his experiences as a "black" man are more similar to the the black population at large. bill and hillary can sympathize all campaign, but they can never truly walk in a black person's shoes.
race - the election should be about the issues. i would think after all these years of struggle, we have moved beyond the color of one's skin and onto the content of one's character. but perhaps i'm just another clueless african american woman who must decide to vote based solely on race or gender rather than choosing the best candidate.
we are at an awesome point in history that both a woman and an african american can have a viable chance at becoming america's next president. let's not relegate the presidential race to gender and race. let's focus on the real, pressing issues at hand - and there are many on which to focus.

I must admit that I just can't/won't/don't pay much attention to all of the politics at this stage in the game.
I do find the viable candidates in this race to be exciting and historical - can't wait to see how it all turns out.
Send up a prayer for me and the kids. I lost my wife in an accident at the end of last month.

Q: Transform curve into linear How can I transform the blue curve values into linear (red curve)? I am doing some tests in excel, but basically I have those blue line values inside a 3D App that I want to manipulate with python so I can make those values linear. Is there any mathematical approach that I am missing?
The x axis goes from 0 to 90, and the y axis from 0 to 1.
For example: in the middle of the graph the blue line gives me a value of "0,70711", and I know that in linear it is "0,5". I was wondering if there's an easy formula to transform all the incoming non-linear values into linear.
I have no idea what "formula" is creating that non-linear blue line, also ignore the yellow line since I was just trying to "reverse engineer" to see if would lead me to any conclusion.
Thank you

A: Find a linear function y = ax + b that for x = 0 gives the value 1 and for x = 90 gives 0, just like the function that is represented by a blue curve.
In that case, your system of equations is the following:
1 = b // for x = 0
0 = a*90 + b // for x = 90

Solution provided by solver is the following : { a = -1/90, b = 1 }, the red linear function will have form y = ax + b, we put the values of a and b we found from the solver and we discover that the linear function you are looking for is y = -x/90 + 1 .
The tool I used to solve the system of equations:
http://wims.unice.fr/wims/en_tool~linear~linsolver.en.html

A: What exactly do you mean? You can calculate points on the red line like this:
f(x) = 1-x/90

and the point then is (x,f(x)) = (x, 1-x/90). But to be honest, I think your question is still rather unclear.

The Holy Bible is God's word. Written by men but every Word inspired by God. It is alive, active and able to speak directly to your spirit. When you read it... It reads you back. It is God's instruction to us for everything pertaining to successful life. It leads us into a relationship with Him and a life that glorifies Him. His Word is TRUTH. His Word is LIFE. He IS the Word.
He is our Father, loving, compassionate, faithful to us and His promises.
Jesus is the only begotten Son of God. He lived a sinless life in order to be the substitution for our sins. He was innocent. We are guilty. He took our guilty verdict and the sentence of death by dying on the cross. He gives us His innocence and puts us back in right standing with God, our Father. It's a free gift. He defeated death in His resurrection. He is the only Way to God.
He is the Seal and Guarantee that we belong to God now. He guides, comforts, teaches, convicts our hearts, reminds us of God's Word, glorifies Jesus and makes us more like Him day by day.
Every human person is uniquely created by God in His own image and likeness. The purpose of our existence is to be in fellowship with God. That fellowship was broken through sin and disobedience. Only through the finished work of Jesus' death, burial and resurrection, is that broken fellowship restored. God gives us the freedom to choose to be reconciled with Him and live our lives close to Him, which is His greatest desire for everyone.
Because sin and death entered the world through the disobedience of Adam and Eve, we are all born "sinners." We have a propensity to be rebellious and selfish. No one ever has to teach a little child to lie, just all of a sudden one day, they realize that deception is possible and they act on it. That is sin at work in us. Every human that is born sins against God. We try to justify ourselves in our own eyes by comparing ourselves with others and say, "I'm not as bad as someone else." However, God does not compare us with one another to judge sin in us, He judges us against His own righteousness and we all fall short of that mark. The penalty for sin is eternal death and separation from God. We all are deserving of the penalty and condemned to the judgment of eternal death. That's why the Gospel of Jesus Christ is called the "Good News!"
John 3:16, For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
Salvation is the free gift of God. We cannot earn it. We do not deserve it. We could never be good enough to receive it on our own. God is gracious and loves us so much that He offers it to us by choice as an act of faith. That act of faith is to simply confess Jesus as your Lord with your mouth (tell God and others) and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead.
The Good News of the Gospel is also this... Jesus died on a sinner's cross for the sins we committed 2,000 years ago. They hastily removed His body from the cross, laid Him in a tomb and rolled and enormous stone to close the entrance. Three days later, the women who followed His ministry went to prepare His body with linen and spices. Along the way they wondered how they would be able to move the stone themselves, but when they arrived, the stone was already moved away. An angel was there who said, "Why do you seek the living among the dead? Jesus is not here. He has risen!" The women ran back and told the disciples. Jesus revealed Himself to them on many occasions before His ascension to Our Father in heaven.
The bodily resurrection of Christ has defeated death and conquered it for us! One day we will be like Him and there will be no more death, sorrow, tears or sad good byes!
After we receive salvation through faith in Jesus, our next steps are to be baptized in water to make a public declaration of our new life in Christ. Joining yourself to the church is a lifelong decision to give your life back to God through the process of discipleship, serving alongside other believers.
The Church is made up of believers united through faith in Jesus Christ and committed to bring the knowledge of Him to others. In every generation since His departure, Jesus is faithful to give us ministry "gifts" of apostles, prophets. evangelists, pastors, and teachers to equip believers for the work of the ministry. We have all been given unique talents and gifts to give and share with the community of believers in our local church to make it more effective and powerful. Through the Holy Spirit the church is empowered with spiritual gifts to demonstrate the compassionate nature and miraculous power of God's love. We are His ambassadors and representatives in the earth, powerful and endowed with authority through His name.

History of Napatree
In 1614, the Dutch Trader Adriaen Block sailed up Long Island Sound to Little Narragansett Bay. He formally named Fisher's Island after one of his crew and he called the narrow spit of land extending out from Watch Hill "Nap of Trees" because of its heavy forest cover. The name Napatree Point has persisted. Captain Block then visited Block Island and named it after himself (1).
Napatree is a storm-driven ecosystem. The forest cover that Captain Block observed was destroyed in the Great Gale of 1815 (2). In 1898, the US Government purchased 60 acres of the west end of Napatree and built Fort Mansfield, a military fortification to protect the entrance to Little Narragansett Bay between Watch Hill Point to Fisher's Island. In its heyday, Fort Mansfield had three large canon batteries and was staffed by up to 100 soldiers. In 1907, it was determined that Fort Mansfield had a major design flaw and enemy ships could pass under the trajectory of the shells. The Fort was decommissioned and sold to a syndicate of Watch Hill developers. The syndicate defaulted on their debt in 1931 and the Washington Trust Company foreclosed on the property (3).
In the 1920's and 1930's summer cottages were built along Napatree. By 1938, 39 cottages lined the dune crest of Napatree. The Hurricane of 1938 changed the face of Napatree forever. All of the buildings were blown into Little Narragansett Bay and 15 Watch Hill residents died. Sandy Point, which was connected to the western tip of Napatree, was separated and began its migration north, now almost reaching the Stonington shore all the way across Little Narragansett Bay (2).
In 1945, the Watch Hill Fire District purchased most of the land that comprises Napatree Point to preserve it for public enjoyment and conservation of nature. In 2013, the Fire District granted the Chaplin B. Barnes Conservation Easement over their parcels on Napatree to the Watch Hill Conservancy. The Fire District and the Conservancy collaboratively steward Napatree and offer educational programs for children and visitors. The Napatree Point Conservation Area is open all year for visitors to enjoy the serenity and beauty of this special place.

Jennifer Rose Olayvar is a ballerina from the Republic of the Philippines. She was a dancer for Ballet Manila from 2000 to 2013. She became the Special Assistant to Lisa Macuja-Elizalde from 2004 to 2007. Olayvar has taken minor and intermediate examinations for the Royal Academy of Dance London.

Career
Olayvar studied ballet at Goldcrest Dance Workshop under the tutelage of Jinggay Formoso and Josette Salang. In 1995, she transferred to Steps Dance Studio where she trained with Sofia Zobel de Ayala-Elizalde and Raul Sauz. At Steps, she has danced the lead roles of many of its shows including the Sugar Plum Fairy for "The Nutcracker", Princess Aurora for "Sleeping Beauty" and Olivia for "Olivia the Octopus Princess". Olayvar came to the attention of Ballet Manila when she was able to get the principal role of Giselle in July 2000 when the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) held local auditions in the Philippines. She joined Ballet Manila right after where she stayed with the company until 2007 but returned after a year of absence. In an interview with Pointe Magazine, about the support for the arts, Olayvar pointed out that Ballet Manila is not state funded and the dancers do not have contracts, instead they are paid from the troupe's performances.

Notable performances
Olayvar has danced the principal roles of Lise in "La Fille Mal Gardee", Kitri in "Don Quixote Grand Pas", Giselle in "Giselle", Gulnara in "Le Corsaire", Micaela in "Carmen" and Cinderella in "Cinderella". She was a Muslim princess for "Sayaw sa Pamlang" (dance with the bamboos), the other half of Agnes Locsin's intense and sensual pas de deux "Arachnida" (mating spiders) and Bam Damian's "Widmung", a dance choreographed to Jennifer and her partner Romeo Peralta. In 2008, during the visit of guest choreographer and People's Artist of Russia title holder Sergey Vikulov Olayvar was one of the dancers selected to perform the lead role of "Lise" in La Fille Mal Gardée (The Naughty Daughter).

Jennifer has joined the company's performances for La Bayadere, Romeo & Juliet, Carmen, Don Quixote, Paquita, Firebird, Nutcracker, Le Corsaire, La Fille Mal Gardee, Swan Lake, Pinocchio  and Giselle. She has traveled and performed with the company during its 2004 Aberdeen International Youth Festival in Scotland, the 2004 & 2005 United States Tour, the 2005 8th Asia Arts Festival in China, the 2005 Andong Mask Dance Festival in South Korea, the 2005 Russia Tour, the 2006 Angkor-Gyeongju World Culture Expo in Cambodia, and the 2011 England, Ireland, and South Korea Tour and with its performances within the Philippines bringing her from Baguio to Zamboanga. Representing Ballet Manila, Jennifer has also participated in an arts appreciation program of the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) with Sopas, Sining at Sorbetes, an outreach program for the underprivileged communities in the country.

In 2012, she was a Gawad Buhay Awards nominated Female Lead Performer for two categories - the Female Lead Performer in a Classical Production (for Giselle) where she was up against her mentor and Philippine's Prima Ballerina Lisa Macuja and the Female Lead Performer in a Modern Production (for Sinderela).

Personal life
Jennifer Rose Olayvar is the eldest of two daughters of DLTB Co. SVP James Olayvar and Landbank AVP Emerita Estonina.  Jennifer is a bachelor's degree graduate majoring in International Studies from De La Salle University where her undergraduate thesis in which she got a perfect score of 4.0 was about the comparative study of ballet in the Philippines and Russia. Olayvar was also an active cheerleader of the Pep Squad organization in DLSU. When she left Ballet Manila in 2007 to pursue a different career path, she got accepted to be in the 1st batch of Filipino flight crew members of AirAsia (from over 600 applicants, it went down to less than 15 potential flight attendants). She was about to be deployed in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for the next 3 years.  However, after 5 months of absence in the dance circuit, she came back performing with Ballet Manila. The dance bug bit her as she fondly says. In her years with Ballet Manila (2000–2013), she has become the Special Assistant to the Chief of Staff, a faculty staff member of the Ballet Manila School and a Marketing Consultant.  In February 2013, she has nailed a major project for Ballet Manila, bringing the dance company to Macau for the 113th Philippine Independence Day celebration and the 2012-2013 Years of Friendly Exchanges between the Philippines and China.

Olayvar has always been the athletic type – enjoying football in her high school alma mater at the Colegio San Agustin (CSA) in Dasmarinas Village, Makati. Being a team varsity of the CSA Soccer team and a pioneer of the Boosters (cheerleading varsity) squad, she also played for Makati Football School and had been a part of the champion team during the 1997 Metro Manila Girls Football Association, the 1st Alaska Soccer Cup, and many more. She was part of the Philippine soccer youth team who played in international football tournaments – the Helsinki Cup in Finland, the Gothia Cup (described to be the "World Cup" for the youth) in Sweden and the Pondus Cup in Denmark.

Olayvar is now married to former Pacific Islands Club Guam Executive Sous Chef Jerome Espejo. The couple is now based in Perth, Western Australia. For the meantime, they enjoy doing yoga and taking ballet classes together, as well as traveling the world when their schedule permits.

Q: How to rotate the origin of rotation of a quaternion Im working with a quaternion, and its roll pitch and yaw are based on its global location(Im not actually sure how quaternions work, im guessing its on fixed axis). So when i get the values they are always fixed in a certain direction, the "0" of yaw is in some fixed direction. What i would like to do is kind of "reset" the rotation so that its "0" is pointing to the direction directly in front of me and that all rotations from that point will be based on the "0" being the direction i was initially facing. How do i do this?
Example:
     ^---say this is the original origin or "0" of the rotation.
  <     >
     v

Then if i am facing down:
     ^
  <     >
     v---I would then like this to be the new origin or rotation.

A: Turns out i just had to invert the quaternion i wanted as the new origin and multiply the current quaternion.

Present-Day PM2.5 over Asia: Simulation and Uncertainty in CMIP6 ESMs
Su, X, Wu, T, Zhang, J et al. (9 more authors) (2022) Present-Day PM2.5 over Asia: Simulation and Uncertainty in CMIP6 ESMs. Journal of Meteorological Research, 36 (3). pp. 429-449. ISSN 2095-6037
This study assesses the ability of 10 Earth System Models (ESMs) that participated in the Coupled Model Inter-comparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) to reproduce the present-day inhalable particles with diameters less than 2.5 micrometers (PM2.5) over Asia and discusses the uncertainty. PM2.5 accounts for more than 30% of the surface total aerosol (fine and coarse) concentration over Asia, except for central Asia. The simulated spatial distributions of PM2.5 and its components, averaged from 2005 to 2020, are consistent with the Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications version 2 (MERRA-2) reanalysis. They are characterized by the high PM2.5 concentrations in eastern China and northern India where anthropogenic components such as sulfate and organic aerosol dominate, and in northwestern China where the mineral dust in PM2.5 fine particles (PM2.5DU) dominates. The present-day multi-model mean (MME) PM2.5 concentrations slightly underestimate ground-based observations in the same period of 2014–2019, although observations are affected by the limited coverage of observation sites and the urban areas. Those model biases partly come from other aerosols (such as nitrate and ammonium) not involved in our analyses, and also are contributed by large uncertainty in PM2.5 simulations on local scale among ESMs. The model uncertainties over East Asia are mainly attributed to sulfate and PM2.5DU; over South Asia, they are attributed to sulfate, organic aerosol, and PM2.5DU; over Southeast Asia, they are attributed to sea salt in PM2.5 fine particles (PM2.5SS); and over central Asia, they are attributed to PM2.5DU. They are mainly caused by the different representations of aerosols within individual ESMs including the representation of aerosol size distributions, dynamic transport, and physical and chemistry mechanisms.

Tank or Tankless Water Heater: Which One is Best For You?
The average water heater can last 10-plus years, which gives water heater technology plenty of time to evolve in the interim.
By the time you need to select a new water heater, there is new terminology to learn. Not to mention that none of the new models look quite like what you currently have.
As well, since an aging water heater doesn't always announce its exact retirement date in advance, you are often forced to select a new water heater as quickly as possible while your grumpy, shivering family watches your progress closely and counts the minutes until it arrives.
There is always a risk that the new water heater you choose won't be the best possible match for your needs. In this post, learn more about two of the most popular types of water heaters and how to choose the best type for your household's water usage patterns.
A conventional hot water heater is the type you most likely inherited when you bought your home.
A conventional water heater, also called a storage or "tank" water heater, is the type with the big insulated tank, which is where the heated water is stored. There are also knobs, valves, and metal pipes going to and from it that can make it look like a large, round stationary robot.
Conventional water heater tanks come in a variety of storage capacities ranging from small 20-gallon (75.7-liter) tanks to massive 100-gallon (378.5-liter) tanks. Most households will have a tank that holds around 55 gallons (208.2 liters).
When selecting a new tank hot water heater, the most important piece of data is what is called the FHR, or "first hour rating." The FHR tells you how much hot water the heater can supply during a 60-minute use period, assuming the storage tank is full of water to begin with.
Here, it is critical to remember that, once the water heater has supplied hot water for 60 continuous minutes, it will need to refill the tank and reheat the water. What this means is that any hot water demands made from minute 61 until the storage tank has been completely refilled and reheated may be cool, lukewarm, or warm.
Choosing a conventional hot water heater becomes easy once you know your household's average 60-minute peak hot water demand. The U.S. Department of Energy offers a helpful chart for calculating this average demand.
Here, you can see how, once you have a working knowledge of how much hot water is required to complete certain tasks, you can choose optimal times to do certain tasks so as not to impact primary hot water usage needs, such as hot morning showers.
A tankless hot water heater is a relatively new invention conceived to save storage space and energy use. These hot water heaters are often called "on demand" water heaters, because that is basically how they function.
There is no storage tank as such to preheat and store the water until it is needed. Rather, when a demand for hot water comes in, the water heater begins to heat up cold water right then and there.
According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), the average tankless hot water heater can produce anywhere from 2 to 5 gallons (7.6 to 15.2 liters) per minute.
If you have a gas-fueled tankless water heater, you can expect output near the high end of that range. An electric-fueled tankless water heater, on the other hand, will more likely fall near the low end of the output range.
As you might imagine, a tankless or on-demand hot water heater won't be able to keep up with the simultaneous hot water demands of many people at once.
For this reason, an on-demand hot water heater is often added as a secondary source of hot water to supply specific appliances (hot tub, remote guest house, clothes washer) or simply supplement existing hot water options.
Which Hot Water Heater Type is Right For You?
Here are some insights to help you select the right hot water heater for your household's needs.
Current DOE estimates indicate you will pay more for a gas-powered tank or tankless water heater, but you will recoup that in lower monthly energy costs.
A tank water heater with around 55-gallon (208.2 liters) capacity is typically a better choice for larger households with multi-use hot water demands (unless you install multiple tankless units).
This will cost you more on the front end, but can save you anywhere from 8 to 34 percent on your annual energy costs (around $100 per year for an Energy Star-rated tankless hot water heater equipped with an intermittent gas-powered pilot light system).
