Hundred Islands Pasyal na!!!



This National Park covers a land area of 1,884 hectares with 123 islands. However, only 3 islands have been developed for tourists. A trip to Hundred Islands National Park and its home, Alaminos City, is a great diversion from the hustle and bustle of the busy, urban life. Breathe in the refreshing views - rice paddies, azure sea - and the rustic and peaceful lifestyle as you make your way to Alaminos City. And upon arrival, savor the city's unique and dynamic spirit, friendly atmosphere and especially, the beauty and adventure that lies in the hundred wonders that is Hundred Islands. Lose yourself among the Hundred Islands, scattered like emeralds in the deep blue waters off Pangasinan. Unexplored coves and islets await seekers of solitude. Each one in its own pristine beauty basks in the sun, lapped by the waters of Lingayen Gulf.

I have read!!!







I have read this morning www.jpost.com a daily online newspaper in Jerusalem, Israel, article

"'Iran leaks reflect conflict in US administration'

We would have to deal with possible military action from Hizbullah and Syria, and also diplomatic fallout. Don't expect the world to clap if we attack Iran, and as a result oil prices spiral from $140 a barrel to $300 a barrel.""

source: http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1215330878502&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull

So we expect if Israel attack Iran the crude oil products will be doubled in prices, if that the case we expect that our basic commodities etc., will doubled too...

That "Faith-Full" July 16, 1990

Dagupan after the July 16 earthquake


In Dagupan City, About 90 buildings in the city were damaged, and about 20 collapsed. Some structures sustained damage because liquefaction caused buildings to sink as much as 1 meter (39 inches). The earthquake caused a decrease in the elevation of the city and several areas were flooded. The city suffered 64 casualties of which 47 survived and 17 died. Most injuries were sustained during stampedes at a university building and a theater.



Looking back, it was exactly 4:26 p.m. on Monday, 16 July 1990, that a killer earthquake unexpectedly hit and extensively devastated the City of Baguio. As reported, the powerful temblor measured 7.7 in the open-ended Richter scale and lasted for 45 seconds. It was said to be the most destructive earthquake on record within the Cordillera Region. There were numerous aftershocks that followed and the strongest, which occured at 3:15 a.m. of July 18, lasted for eight seconds ... and measured 5.3 on the Richer scale.



Fearing for their lives, many of Baguio's 120,000 people slept outdoors on Monday night. The city suffered the most in terms of destruction to properties and numerous deaths. Many commercial and government buildings, hotels, inns, and residences were heavily damaged. The death toll continued to rise as rescuers pulled more bodies from the rubbles. It was estimated that as many as 1,000 people were trapped and killed in damaged buildings.

Lost Nuke






In 2004 it was estimated that at least 11 nuclear weapons of the bomb type. This is not counting other types of nuclear weapons. It was also estimated that 92 nuclear bombs were lost at sea from all nuclear capable countries.

Nuclear Accidents

Here are some of our military nuclear accidents in date order:

1950 saw a B-36 drop a nuclear bomb over the state of Washington, the explosive material detonated but the nuclear bomb didn't We also had a crash of a B-29 that was carrying a nuclear payload into the mountains of New Mexico. A B-50 crashed in Ohio setting off its high explosives but not its nuclear cargo. A B-29 crashed in California, again the explosive material to detonate but not the nuclear bomb.

In 1956 a B-47 crashed into a storage area containing nuclear weapons but they didn't go off.

In 1957 a B-36 dropped a nuke in the New Mexico desert. The explosive material detonated but not the nuclear material. A B-47 crashed in Florida with two nukes onboard.

In 1958 a B-47 containing a nuke crashed and burned causing contamination. A B-47 dropped it's nuclear bomb over South Carolina. The high explosive detonated but not the nuclear bomb. A B-47 caught fire while the plane was on takeoff. It contained nukes. The plane crashed and the high explosive detonated but not the nukes. This took place in Texas. A B-47 loaded with nukes caught fire and the its nuke was destroyed.

1959 saw a F-100 go on fire while it had a nuke on board. A C-124 crashed in Louisiana with a nuke but it was destroyed in the crash. A B-52 armed with nukes crashed into a KC-135. The two nukes from the plane were recovered in Kentucky.

In 1960 a fire in New Jersey destroyed a nuclear missile storage facility.

In 1961 a B-52 which contained two nukes crashed in California.

In 1964 a B-52 with two nukes on board crashed in Maryland. A nuclear Minuteman rocket fired in error. A B-58 with a nuclear load crashed in Indiana causing contamination.

In 1965 a C-124 loaded with nukes went on fire in Ohio.

In 1966 a B-52 with a nuclear cargo collided with a KC-135. The high explosive material detonated in two of the four nukes but no nuclear explosion took place. This happened over Palomares, Spain and caused one of the most expensive clean ups.

In 1968 a B-52 with nukes on board crashed in Greenland. We recovered one nuke but it is not know if the other three were destroyed in the fire or lost. Workers who helped with the cleanup died.

In 1980 a Titan II missile had it's fuel tank punctured and took off and traveled a distance of about 600 feet.

Will future generations suffer because of our carelessness? Could be! Imagine a nuclear weapon somewhere in the ocean and after a few hundred years the casing gets so corroded that the nuclear material leaks out into the water. The tides carry the contamination for hundreds or thousands of miles. This would effect the marine life. People would eat the fish and then the mutations and sickness would start. I am sure that this will be denied but I think that we as intelligent people all know better.

Israel @ 60




This year, Israel celebrates its 60th anniversary of nationhood



Israel (Hebrew: יִשְרָאֵל‎, Yisra'el; Arabic: إسرائيل‎, Isrā'īl) officially the State of Israel (Hebrew: מְדִינַת יִשְרָאֵל , Medinat Yisra'el; Arabic: دَوْلَةْ إِسْرَائِيل‎, Dawlat Isrā'īl),

The amount of news space that this small country occupies is somewhat remarkable, of which not enough is usually devoted to its contributions to business and industry. Those of us involved in telecommunications are likely more exposed to Israel than most other sectors of the economy - although bio-tech is another major source of exports.

The modern state of Israel has its roots in the Land of Israel (Eretz Yisrael), a concept central to Judaism for over three thousand years.

Over the past three thousand years, the name "Israel" has meant in common and religious usage both the Land of Israel and the entire Jewish nation. The name originated from a verse in the Bible (Genesis, 32:28) where Jacob is renamed Israel after successfully wrestling with an angel of God.

Israel has one of the world’s fastest growing developed economies.

Israel's impact on information and communication technologies and services has been immense: if you have deployed VoIP or mobile services, you are using Israeli technology. Most of the world's biggest carriers are using Israeli developed enhanced services platforms and most Canadians receive their phone or cable bills from an Israeli developed billing system.

Single economic parameter in Israel in 2006 was positive. Despite strong growth, inflation was actually negative –0.1% in 2006 compared to 2.4% in 2005, while unemployment dipped sharply to 8.3% at the end of 2006 from 9% in 2005 and 10.4% in 2004.

In terms of trade North America remains Israel’s largest overseas exports destination with $18.7 billion worth of goods sold there in 2006, of which $17.85 billion was to the United States. During 2006 $15.5 billion worth of goods was exported to Europe and $8.5 billion to Asia. Israel is the only country in the world that has free trade agreements with both the European Union and NAFTA (United States, Canada and Mexico).

Israel is considered one of the most advanced countries in the Southwest Asia in economic and industrial development. The country has been ranked highest in the region on the World Bank's Ease of Doing Business Index[170] as well as in the World Economic Forum's Global Competitiveness Report.[15] It has the second-largest number of startup companies in the world (after the United States) and the largest number of NASDAQ-listed companies outside North America.[171] In 2007, Israel had the 44th-highest gross domestic product and 22nd-highest gross domestic product per capita (at purchasing power parity) at US$232.7 billion and US$33,299, respectively[4]. In 2007, Israel was invited to join the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development,[172] which promotes cooperation between countries that adhere to democratic principles and operate free market economies.[173]

Despite limited natural resources, intensive development of the agricultural and industrial sectors over the past decades has made Israel largely self-sufficient in food production, apart from grains and beef. Other major imports to Israel, totaling US$47.8 billion in 2006, include fossil fuels, raw materials, and military equipment.[2] Leading exports include fruits, vegetables, pharmaceuticals, software, chemicals, military technology, and diamonds; in 2006, Israeli exports reached US$42.86 billion.[2] Israel is a global leader in water conservation and geothermal energy,[174] and its development of cutting-edge technologies in software, communications and the life sciences have evoked comparisons with Silicon Valley.[175][176] Intel[177] and Microsoft[178] built their first overseas research and development centers in Israel, and other high-tech multi-national corporations, such as IBM, Cisco Systems, and Motorola, have opened facilities in the country. In July 2007, U.S. billionaire Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway bought an Israeli company Iscar, its first non-U.S. acquisition, for $4 billion.[179] Since the 1970s, Israel has received economic aid from the United States, whose loans account for the bulk of Israel's external debt,[2] although that aid is expected to end in 2008.[163]

Tourism, especially religious tourism, is another important industry in Israel, with the country's temperate climate, beaches, archaeological and historical sites, and unique geography also drawing tourists. Israel's security problems have taken their toll on the industry, but the number of incoming tourists is on the rebound.[180]

Has the largest VC/GDP rate in the world, seven times that of the United States.

There are strong links between the US and Israel that have been built over the years. For many Israeli issuers a NASDAQ primary listing is preferred. The principal attraction of the US is its size in investment terms - $15 trillion in equity assets, representing nearly half the world's total," explained Crosswell.
