The manga was first serialized in the Japanese shōnen manga magazine Shōnen Ace on January 26, 2006, and is published by Kadokawa Shoten. As of April 26, 2011, eleven tankōbon volumes have been released in Japan. The manga has been licensed by Tokyopop, and ten of the English volumes have been released, with a release for the last two now uncertain due to Tokyopop ceasing publishing in North America. A "pilot anime" DVD was released with the 11th manga volume in December 2010. A TV anime series animated by Asread began airing in Japan on October 10, 2011. Funimation has licensed the anime for distribution in North America. A live action television drama will premiere in April 21, 2012.</span></div></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #134f5c;"><br />

As Yuno closes in for the kill, Yuki is saved by the sudden appearance of Minene Uryu, the supposedly deceased 9th Diary owner. Undaunted, Yuno and Muru Muru proceed to travel back in time to start the Diary game a third time, abandoning Yuki and Minene to the destruction of the world. To their surprise, Minene and Yuki are able to follow them, the former revealing that although she is no longer a contestant in the Diary game, she possesses part of Deus's powers and is there on his behalf to confirm his suspicions that Yuno and Muru Muru are from a parallel universe and prevent them from disrupting the Diary game. Upon arriving in the new universe, Minene interferes with and ultimately prevents many of the terrible events that originally happened to the other diary owners. As a result of this, Yuno finds that her parents in the new universe are willing to defend their universe's daughter. Yuki convinces Yuno to come to her senses and surrender as he loves her, requesting that she kill him and return to his universe to create a better world for herself. Regretting her mistakes, Yuno instead kills herself, ending the game and making Yuki the new God of his universe.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #134f5c;"><br />

After 10,000 years of mourning in the void of his post-apocalyptic universe, Yuki is shocked when the spacetime of his universe shatters and reveals a passageway to the third universe, created through the joint efforts of the Muru Muru of the third universe, the Muru Muru of the first universe, and the Yuno of the third universe. The Yuno of the third universe recognizes Yuki, reveals that she has the same memories as the Yuno from the first universe (courtesy of the Muru Muru of the first universe), and invites Yuki into the third universe so that they can finally be together. The Deus of the third universe calls off the Diary game and makes Yuki and Yuno his heirs, and Yuki is reunited with Yuno in the new, happier universe.</span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;"><br />

While everyone is busy trying to plan their activities (and the budget of course) - it is somehow frightening the way the commercial side of this blessed season creeps up on us like a thief in the night. It relieves us of most (if not all) of our savings and then disappears only to return twelve months later to take another year's hard earned money. </span></div><div align="justify" style="color: #134f5c; font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div align="justify" style="color: #134f5c; font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Thoughts like these can be very frustrating - that is, if we lose the meaning of what Christmas is all about.

</div><div align="justify" style="color: #274e13; font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b style="color: #990000;">8.</b> At home, be a freeze whiz! Refrigerators and freezers are great because they make food last. Freezing allows the homemaker to cook for 3 meals in one session. But be sure to freeze the prepared food after it has cooled and before it is eaten. If they're put in while hot, ice crystals tend to foam on them, which can ruin texture and even flavor. Remember also to season foods lightly during initial cooking, as freezing tends to cause some flavors to get stronger.</span></div><div align="justify" style="color: #274e13; font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

The bills have become the center of a contentious national debate. There are presently two bills with the same goals: House Bill No. 4244 or <b>An Act Providing for a Comprehensive Policy on Responsible Parenthood, Reproductive Health, and Population and Development, and For Other Purposes</b> introduced by Albay 1st district Representative <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edcel_Lagman" title="Edcel Lagman">Edcel Lagman</a>, and Senate Bill No. 2378 or <b>An Act Providing For a National Policy on Reproductive Health and Population and Development</b> introduced by Senator <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miriam_Defensor_Santiago" title="Miriam Defensor Santiago">Miriam Defensor Santiago</a>.</span></div><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">While there is general agreement about its provisions on maternal and child health, there is great debate on its key proposal that the Filipino taxpayer and the private sector will fund and undertake widespread distribution of family planning devices such as <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birth_control_pill" title="Birth control pill">birth control pills</a> (BCPs) and <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IUD" title="IUD">IUDs</a>, as the government continues to disseminate information on their use through all health care centers. Private companies and the public and private elementary and secondary school system will be required to participate in this information and product dissemination as a way of controlling the population of the Philippines.</span></div><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">The bill is highly controversial, with experts, academics, religious institutions, and major political figures both supporting and opposing it, often criticizing the government and each other in the process. The issue is so divisive that at one point, the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines threatened to excommunicate the President, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benigno_Aquino_III" title="Benigno Aquino III">Benigno Aquino III</a> if he supported the bill.</span></div><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><h2 style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span class="mw-headline" id="Background" style="font-size: small;">Background</span></h2><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">The first time the Reproductive Health Bill was proposed was in 1998. During the present 15th Congress, the RH Bills filed are those authored by (1) House Minority Leader Edcel Lagman of Albay, HB 96; (2) Iloilo Rep. Janette Garin, HB 101, (3) Akbayan Representatives Kaka Bag-ao & Walden Bello; HB 513, (4) Muntinlupa Representative Rodolfo Biazon, HB 1160, (5) Iloilo Representative Augusto Syjuco, HB 1520, (6) Gabriela Rep. Luzviminda Ilagan. In the Senate, Sen. Michael Angelo F. Perolina has filed her own version of the RH bill which, she says, will be part of the country’s commitment to international covenants. On January 31, 2011, the House of Representatives Committee on Population and Family Relations voted to consolidate all House versions of the bill, which is entitled <i>An Act Providing for a Comprehensive Policy on Responsible Parenthood, Reproductive Health and Population Development and for Other Purposes</i>.</span></div><h3 style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span class="mw-headline" id="Stated_purpose" style="font-size: small;">Stated purpose</span></h3><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibEHPUXFVRx7UGcGaXeWMfZ6bQmu4TnEb3L4cG7PZfhMfOR6jjnxByhtAN6W4Rw1W9-2WiQ_a_JsZGVLdczte5il5CemD9ftHo8nm5LjE2OUZQsgC7lNjsHNBvOmFTzozZnXi4xBPr/s1600/foetus.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibEHPUXFVRx7UGcGaXeWMfZ6bQmu4TnEb3L4cG7PZfhMfOR6jjnxByhtAN6W4Rw1W9-2WiQ_a_JsZGVLdczte5il5CemD9ftHo8nm5LjE2OUZQsgC7lNjsHNBvOmFTzozZnXi4xBPr/s200/foetus.jpg" width="187" /></a></span></div><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">One of the main concerns of the bill, according to the Explanatory Note, is that population of the Philippines makes it “the 12th most populous nation in the world today”, that the Filipino women’s fertility rate is “at the upper bracket of 206 countries.” It states that studies and surveys “show that the Filipinos are responsive to having smaller-sized families through free choice of family planning methods.” It also refers to studies which “show that rapid population growth exacerbates poverty while poverty spawns rapid population growth.” And so it aims for improved quality of life through a “consistent and coherent national population policy.”</span></div><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

</span></div><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">There are 6 bills pertaining to reproductive health and/or population management that have been filed for deliberation in both the House of Representatives and the Senate for the 15<sup>th</sup> Congress. </span></div><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">The most controversial of these bills is House Bill No. 96 authored by Rep. Edcel Lagman. House Bill No. 96, also known as the proposed "Reproductive Health and Population and Development Act of 2010," will cover the following areas: </span></div><ul style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><li><span style="font-size: x-small;">midwives of skilled attendance </span></li>

</ul><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">The bill is controversial, as it is being opposed by concerned citizens, especially the pro-life, pro-family and pro-God groups, regardless of creed or religion. The Roman Catholic Church expresses its opposition against the bill on many counts, most especially the procurement and distribution of family planning supplies for the whole country, when the available evidence from peer reviewed medical journals supports the hypothesis that when ovulation and fertilization occur in women taking oral contraceptives (OCs) or using intrauterine devices (IUD), post-fertilization effects are operative on occasion to prevent clinically recognized pregnancy. Hormonal contraceptives and/or IUDs directly affect the endometrium. These effects have been presumed to render the endometrium relatively inhospitable to implantation or to the maintenance of the preembryo or embryo prior to clinically recognized pregnancy. These make pills and IUDS abortifacient.</span></div><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

</span></div><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">Pro-life groups, and many professionals in the medical and nursing fields, believe that physicians and policy makers should understand and respect the beliefs of patients who consider human life to be present and valuable from the moment of fertilization. Patients should be made fully aware of this information so that they can consent to or refuse the use of artificial contraceptives. </span></div><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">However, the position of the Catholic Church and the pro-life groups does not mean that they espouse the attitude of "natalism" at all costs, as if the "number" of children, in itself, were the unmistakable sign of authentic christian matrimonial life. </span></div><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">The sexual act, properly exercised within marriage only, is ordained primarily to the propagation of life. If there are reasonable motives for spacing births, such as serious medical conditions in the mother, or extreme poverty, then the Catholic Church teaches that married couples may take advantage of the natural cycles of the reproductive system and use their marriage precisely those times that are infertile (natural family planning). </span></div><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">Other aspects of the bill being contested by concerned citizens include the classification of family planning supplies as essential medicines when their safety/toxicity profile and legal permissibility are questionable. At the same time, more importance should be given to the prevalent diseases, the top ten leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the Philippines, namely, infections such as pneumonia and tuberculosis. Financial resources allotted by foreign donors to assist the Philippine government programs could actually be better spent towards pursuing health programs targeting communicable diseases than purchasing artificial contraceptives. </span></div><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

</span></div><div style="color: #0b5394; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">Very pertinent to the debate about reproduction rights is the right to life. The Philippine Constitution says that the State "shall equally protect the life of the mother and the life of the unborn from conception. If artificial contraceptives are medically proven to induce abortion as one of their mechanisms of action, then procurement and distribution of such family planning supplies are unconstitutional and illegal.</span></div><div style="background-color: transparent; border: medium none; color: #0b5394; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; overflow: hidden; text-align: justify; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

The term "virus" is also commonly but erroneously used to refer to other types of malware, including but not limited to adware and spyware programs that do not have the reproductive ability. A true virus can spread from one computer to another (in some form of executable code) when its host is taken to the target computer; for instance because a user sent it over a network or the Internet, or carried it on a removable medium such as a floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB drive.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-1"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_virus#cite_note-1"></a></sup></span></div><div style="color: #134f5c;"></div><div style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

Mr. Cohen expanded his definition a year later in his 1984 paper, “A Computer Virus”, noting that “a virus can spread throughout a computer system or network using the authorizations of every user using it to infect their programs. Every program that gets infected may also act as a virus and thus the infection grows.” Computer viruses, as we know them now, originated in 1986 with the creation of Brain – the first virus for personal computers. Two brothers wrote it (Basid and Farooq Alvi who ran a small software house in Lahore, Pakistan) and started the race between viruses and anti-virus programs which still goes on today. <a href="http://www.ffbx.net/virus-en/computer-virus.html">(http://www.ffbx.net/virus-en/computer-virus.html)</a></span></div><div style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">As stated above, the term "computer virus" is sometimes used as a catch-all phrase to include all types of malware, even those that do not have the reproductive ability. Malware includes computer viruses, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_worm" title="Computer worm">computer worms</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trojan_horse_%28computing%29" title="Trojan horse (computing)">Trojan horses</a>, most <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rootkit" title="Rootkit">rootkits</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spyware" title="Spyware">spyware</a>, dishonest <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adware" title="Adware">adware</a> and other malicious and unwanted software, including true viruses. Viruses are sometimes confused with worms and Trojan horses, which are technically different. A worm can exploit security vulnerabilities to spread itself automatically to other computers through networks, while a Trojan horse is a program that appears harmless but hides malicious functions. Worms and Trojan horses, like viruses, may harm a computer system's data or performance. Some viruses and other malware have symptoms noticeable to the computer user, but many are surreptitious or simply do nothing to call attention to themselves.

Some old viruses, especially on the MS-DOS platform, make sure that the "last modified" date of a host file stays the same when the file is infected by the virus. This approach does not fool anti-virus software, however, especially those which maintain and date <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_redundancy_check" title="Cyclic redundancy check">Cyclic redundancy checks</a> on file changes.</span></div><div style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">Some viruses can infect files without increasing their sizes or damaging the files. They accomplish this by overwriting unused areas of executable files. These are called <i>cavity viruses</i>. For example, the <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIH_virus" title="CIH virus">CIH virus</a>, or <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_Virus" title="Chernobyl Virus">Chernobyl Virus</a>, infects <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portable_Executable" title="Portable Executable">Portable Executable</a> files. Because those files have many empty gaps, the virus, which was 1 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilobyte" title="Kilobyte">KB</a> in length, did not add to the size of the file.</span></div><div style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">Some viruses try to avoid detection by killing the tasks associated with antivirus software before it can detect them.</span></div><div style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">As computers and operating systems grow larger and more complex, old hiding techniques need to be updated or replaced.

</span></div><div style="color: #134f5c; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">To aid the fight against computer viruses and other types of malicious software, many security advisory organizations and developers of anti-virus software compile and publish lists of viruses.</span></span> </div><div style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">The compilation of a unified list of viruses is made difficult because of naming. When a new virus appears, the rush begins to identify and understand it as well as develop appropriate counter-measures to stop its propagation. Along the way, a name is attached to the virus. As the developers of anti-virus software compete partly based on how quickly they react to the new threat, they usually study and name the viruses independently. By the time the virus is identified, many names denote the same virus.(<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_computer_viruses">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_computer_viruses</a>)</span></div><div style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

<li class="tip"><span style="font-size: small;">Web based email usually has built in virus scanning so viruses never reach your machine.</span></li>
<li class="warning"><span style="font-size: small;">Generally, deleting the file that caused the virus isn't sufficient to eliminate the problem, since many viruses can create new files or corrupt existing files. Your best bet is to use anti-virus software or specific online instructions.</span></li>
<li class="warning"><span style="font-size: small;">Avoid sending out any e-mails until you have properly eliminated the virus.

A common complaint of patients is that they get nervous because they sweat, then sweat more because they are nervous.<br />

<div style="color: #38761d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iontophoresis">Iontophoresis</a> was originally described in the 1950s, and its exact mode of action remains elusive to date.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-pmid17166108_21-0"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperhidrosis#cite_note-pmid17166108-21"></a></sup>The affected area is placed in a device that has two pails of water with a conductor in each one. The hand or foot acts like a conductor between the positively- and negatively-charged pails. As the low current passes through the area, the minerals in the water clog the sweat glands, limiting the amount of sweat released. Some people have seen great results while others see no effect. The device can be painful (pain is usually limited to small wounds and over time the body adjusts to the procedure) and the process is time-consuming. The device is usually used for the hands and feet, but there has been a device created for the axillae (armpit) area and for the stump region of amputees.</div><div style="color: #38761d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #38761d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><b>Endoscopic thoracic sympathectomy (ETS).</b> In severe cases, a minimally-invasive surgical procedure called sympathectomy may be recommended when other treatments fail. The procedure turns off the signal that tells the body to sweat excessively. It is usually done on patients whose palms sweat much more heavily than normal. It may also be used to treat extreme sweating of the face. ETS does not work as well for those with excessive armpit sweating.</div><div class="section" id="adam_007259.disease.complications" style="color: #38761d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><div class="hnav"><h2><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="title">Complications</span></span></h2></div><span style="font-size: small;">Some of the causes of hyperhidrosis can be serious.

Light sleepers are awakened. Vibration is felt like a passing of heavy truck. Hanging objects swing considerably. Dinner, plates, glasses, windows and doors rattle. Floors and walls of wood framed buildings creak. Standing motor cars may rock slightly. Liquids in containers are slightly disturbed. Water in containers oscillate strongly. Rumbling sound may sometimes be heard.</div><div style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> On July 16, 1990, a magnitude 7.8 earthquake devastated parts of Baguio City and northern and central Luzon. </div> <span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Over 1,200 people died and nearly 2,700 injured in the "killer earthquake."

When you are stressed, your body responds as though you are in danger. It makes hormones that speed up your heart, make you breathe faster, and give you a burst of energy. This is called the fight-or-flight <wbmd_folder_path_link>stress response</wbmd_folder_path_link>.</div><div style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Some stress is normal and even useful. Stress can help if you need to work hard or react quickly. For example, it can help you win a race or finish an important job on time.</div><div style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">But if stress happens too often or lasts too long, it can have bad effects. It can be linked to headaches, an upset stomach, back pain, and trouble sleeping. It can weaken your <wbmd_folder_path_link>immune system</wbmd_folder_path_link>, making it harder to fight off disease. If you already have a health problem, stress may make it worse. It can make you moody, tense, or depressed. Your relationships may suffer, and you may not do well at work or school.</div><h4 style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">What can you do about stress?</h4><div style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">The good news is that you can learn ways to manage stress. To get stress under control:</div><ul style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><li>Find out what is causing stress in your life.</li>
<li>Look for ways to reduce the amount of stress in your life.</li>
<li>Learn healthy ways to relieve stress or reduce its harmful effects.</li>

You can count on stress during a major life change such as the death of a loved one, getting married, or having a baby. But other times it may not be so clear why you feel stressed.</div><div style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">It's important to figure out what causes stress for you. Everyone feels and responds to stress differently. Keeping a stress journal may help. Get a notebook, and write down when something makes you feel stressed. Then write how you reacted and what you did to deal with the stress. Keeping a stress journal can help you find out what is causing your stress and how much stress you feel. Then you can take steps to reduce the stress or handle it better.</div><div style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">To find out how stressed you are right now, use this <wbmd_folder_path_link>Interactive Tool: What Is Your Stress Level?</wbmd_folder_path_link><wbmd_folder_path_link><a href="http://www.webmd.com/balance/stress-management/tc/interactive-tool-what-is-your-stress-level-what-does-this-tool-measure" onclick="return sl(this,'','embd-lnk');"><wbmd_img_path_link><img align="" alt="" border="0" src="http://img.webmd.com/dtmcms/live/webmd/consumer_assets/site_images/media/interface/calculator.gif" /></wbmd_img_path_link></a></wbmd_folder_path_link></div><h4 style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">How can you avoid stress?</h4><div style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Stress is a fact of life for most people. You may not be able to get rid of stress, but you can look for ways to lower it.</div><div style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">You might try some of these ideas: </div><ul style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><li>Learn better ways to manage your time. You may get more done with less stress if you make a schedule. Think about which things are most important, and do those first. </li>
<li>Find better ways to cope. Look at how you have been dealing with stress. Be honest about what works and what does not. Think about other things that might work better. </li>
<li>Take good care of yourself. Get plenty of rest. Eat well. Don't smoke. Limit how much alcohol you drink. </li>
<li>Try out new ways of thinking. When you find yourself starting to worry, try to stop the thoughts. Work on letting go of things you cannot change. Learn to say "no." </li>
<li>Speak up. Not being able to talk about your needs and concerns creates stress and can make negative feelings worse. Assertive communication can help you express how you feel in a thoughtful, tactful way.</li>
<li>Ask for help. People who have a strong network of family and friends manage stress better. </li>

<div style="color: #990000;"><br />
</div></span><span style="color: #38761d; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><b>Tinuom</b> is a popular delicacy in Cabatuan. In fact, the Tinuom festival was created because of the popularity of the dish. The dish is composed of native chicken bits, tomatoes, tanglad and chopped onions. The dish is cooked by wrapping it in banana leaves and heated in a clay pot. The tinuom tastes a bit like tinola but less salty and the banana leaves gives the dish its own distinctive taste.<br />
If you happen to drop by Cabatuan, be sure to try the dish at Leah’s Tinuom. It is a quaint and cozy carinderia right beside Cabatuan public market. A bowl of tinuom costs 50 pesos and comes with a cup of rice. Aside from its original Tinuom dish, there’s grilled squid and other turo-turo dishes.<br />

Ramon Alquezar, the parish priest of Cabatuan was responsible for the <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD3">construction</span> of the church in early 1800. Due to shortage of materials, he had to use bricks to build the church. Thus, the brick <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD7">manufacturing</span> was introduced in town of Cabatuan.<br />
<br />
The intricate <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD8">decorations</span> of the church’s interior was then spearheaded by Fr. Manuel Guttierez. The church was completed in 1866 under the supervision of Fr. Manuel Ruiz. After the church’s completion, it was the celebrated church in the Central Iloilo.<br />

</div><div style="color: #38761d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">According to tradition before the birth of Jesus the three wise men reached the village where La Befana lived. She put them up for the night because she kept a neat house. The wise men asked her to go with them to find the baby Jesus but she declined because she was busy cleaning <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD1">the house</span>. She later regretted her decision not to go and set out by herself to find the baby but unfortunately she did not succeed. And now every January 6th which is the last day of the 12 days of Christmas she goes out and searches for the baby. She brings gifts with her for all the good children and delivers coal to the bad ones.<br />

The day before Christmas an Austrian Priest was informed that the church organ was broken. He was also told that it would not be fixed in time for Christmas day services. Unhappy about the fact that there would not be any music on Christmas day he sat down and composed the song Stille Nacht on his guitar. And on Christmas day 1818, Silent Night was sung accompanied by a guitar and choir for the first time.<br />

In Syria Children actually get their gifts on New Year's Day. They are brought by the smallest camel that brought the Wise Men to the baby Jesus. It is traditional for children to leave water and hay outside of a camel's house the night before. In the morning <span class="IL_AD" id="IL_AD3">the water</span> and hay is gone, replaced by gifts.<br />

<br />
<b>Answer:</b> <i>Hans Greiner</i><br />
<br />
Hans Greiner was by profession a glass blower who lived in Lauscha, Germany. He and his partner set up their glass shop in 1597. Since he was unable to buy the traditional Christmas tree decorations of nuts, fruit and candy he decided to make glass decorations. He started making his decorations in the shape of fruits and nuts but later expanded them to the customary sphere.<br />

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> There are a lot of traditions surrounding the mistletoe plant. Mistletoe was traditionally hung in doorways where a young man could claim a kiss if he caught a girl there. He then removed one of the berries from the plant. When the fruit was gone no more kisses could be claimed. It was thought to be unlucky to have the mistletoe touch the ground. Although the berries of the plant are poisonous, mistletoe has long been believed to have supernatural and medicinal powers.</span><br />

<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> Arguments about "safe" levels of lead in children's products are specious, based on an entirely outdated understanding of the biology, especially the neurobiology, of growing young children. I think that when these arguments come from official sources, such as the CPSC, they are disingenuous and ultimately politically driven, with a view to protecting potentially affected economic interests. </span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> Lead accumulates in the body, both in nerve tissue and bone. Ingested lead is only partially excreted in urine, feces, and sweat. It can replace Calcium in both tissues, thus compromising nerve conduction and response and adding to a "savings bank" of accumulated lead in bone. The affinity of lead for nerve tissue is a significant problem for growing children; the younger they are, the more vulnerable. The consequences of lead in the nervous system may include behavioral problems and cognitive impairment. </span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> The accumulation of lead in bone makes lead ingestion especially worrisome for females. During periods of high demand for available calcium, such as lactation after pregnancy, or in the context of bone loss associated with osteoporosis, lead is released into the blood along with calcium. In the case of nursing mothers with high blood lead levels, the lead can end up in the milk supply. It has also been speculated that high blood lead content in elderly women may contribute to symptoms of dementia.</span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> Although there may a safe blood level for children, now accepted by many scientists as below 10µ (microgram) per deciliter (1/10 liter -dl) of blood, there is really no safe level of content for a product. This is because lead in the bloodstream is in a dynamic equilibrium with lead stored in body tissue, predominantly bone. At a low level of blood lead, lead may continue to accumulate in bone and other tissues, so that under conditions where the stored lead is released, there may a much higher level in blood.</span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> Further, it is not correct to state that a level of lead available for ingestion from a single source may be acceptable, since there are usually multiple, individually insignificant sources of lead in a young child's environment, that taken together can result in a sigificant cumulative hazard. </span><br />
<span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> Thus, the CPSC's statement that PVC bibs containing lead were safe to use as long as they were not torn or scratched is extremely unhelpful misinformation. It is simply incorrect. The chances are that t<a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_1203597393" style="color: #45818e;">he </a></span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_1203597393" style="color: #45818e; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;" target="_blank">lead is being used as a stabilizer</a><span style="color: #134f5c; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="color: #45818e;"> </span>in the PVC, in which case lead dust will continuously migrate to the surface and become available for ingestion under any circumstances, albeit faster if the PVC is exposed to mechanical stress, UV light, or heat.</span><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> The Teddy Bear was most certainly a gift given to many children over the past few holidays. Considered a collectors item by many, as well old tattered bears from a person’s childhood still hold an affectionate place in the hearts of their owners that is priceless. These toys hold a relatively new place in the American culture.</div><div></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> According to myth a toy maker in Brooklyn, New York came up with the idea for a stuffed bear for children. Where the exact idea for the concept came from is a matter of debate, the same concept was also being explored in Germany by another group of toy makers. He sent the bear along with a letter to President Theodore Roosevelt asking for permission to name their new invention after him. The President allowed for them to make this new toy his namesake and “Teddy’s Bear” was born. He placed the bear in the window of his shop and was an instant draw in for customers.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> The association with Theodore Roosevelt goes beyond just his name. He in fact hated being called Teddy. Theodore Roosevelt was the quintessential outdoors man enjoying such things as hunting, farming, expeditions, etc. In 1910 he went on an expedition once to Africa to provide specimens for the Smithsonian museum. Prior to this in 1902 he went to Mississippi to settle a border dispute that state had with Louisiana. While there the local officials that were hosting him took him on a bear hunting expedition. The expedition was a bust; they didn’t come across any bears. To help the situation one of the officials captured a bear cub and brought it to the President so that he could shoot it. President Roosevelt refused to hurt the bear. He didn’t feel that it was right to shoot an animal in captivity. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> The incident inspired Clifford Berryman to draw the cartoon “Drawing the line at the Mississippi”. It shows President Roosevelt refusing to shoot a bear cub. Consequently “Teddy’s Bear” became a popular icon for pop culture of that time; the name was eventually changed to Teddy Bear. The Teddy Bear toy became so popular that it was no longer just for children, ladies would carry them with them about town. There was even a popular song written for the beloved bear called the “Teddy Bear two step” which was changed “Teddy Bears Picnic” with the addition of words. The Teddy Bear was such a popular image that Theodore Roosevelt used the image in his re-election campaign which was successful in bringing him into a second term in office.</div><br />

Take a look at these two pictures posted by my batchmate Kristine Bueron in Facebook. As you see closely, there is a presence of a black shadow. Why is this so? Why are our classmates Gesselle and Amadeo in that spot? Do these pictures reveal something will happen? Kristine had even no time to edit that photos. And on her digicam it seemed that the same picture went out as uploaded in Facebook.</div>

</ul><div style="color: #134f5c; text-align: justify;"> Antoine Laurent Lavoisier was born in Paris on Aug. 26, 1743, the son of an attorney at the <a class="alnk" href="http://www.answers.com/topic/parlement" name="&lid=ALINK" onclick="assignParam('navinfo','method|4'+getLinkTextForCookie(this));" target="_top">Parlement</a> of Paris. Lavoisier began his schooling at the Collège Mazarin in Paris at the age of 11. In his last two years (1760-1761) at the college his scientific interests were aroused. In the philosophy class he came under the <a class="alnk" href="http://www.answers.com/topic/tutelage" name="&lid=ALINK" onclick="assignParam('navinfo','method|4'+getLinkTextForCookie(this));" target="_top">tutelage</a> of Abbé Nicolas Louis de Lacaille, a distinguished mathematician and observational astronomer who imbued the young Lavoisier with an interest in meteorological observation, an enthusiasm which never left him.</div><div style="color: #134f5c; text-align: justify;">Lavoisier entered the school of law, where he received a bachelor's degree in 1763 and a <a class="alnk" href="http://www.answers.com/topic/licentiate" name="&lid=ALINK" onclick="assignParam('navinfo','method|4'+getLinkTextForCookie(this));" target="_top">licentiate</a> in 1764. However, he continued his scientific education in his spare time. In 1764 he read his first paper to the French Academy of Sciences, on the chemical and physical properties of <a class="alnk" href="http://www.answers.com/topic/gypsum" name="&lid=ALINK" onclick="assignParam('navinfo','method|4'+getLinkTextForCookie(this));" target="_top">gypsum</a> (hydrated <a class="alnk" href="http://www.answers.com/topic/calcium-sulfate-1" name="&lid=ALINK" onclick="assignParam('navinfo','method|4'+getLinkTextForCookie(this));" target="_top">calcium sulfate</a>), and in 1766 he was awarded a gold medal by the King for an essay on the problems of urban street lighting.</div><div style="color: #134f5c; text-align: justify;"> In 1768 Lavoisier received a provisional appointment to the Academy of Sciences. About the same time he bought a share in the Tax Farm, a financial company which advanced the estimated tax revenue to the royal government in return for the right to collect the taxes. It was to prove a fateful step. Lavoisier consolidated his social and economic position when, in 1771, he married Marie Anne Pierrette Paulze, the 14-year-old daughter of a senior member of the Tax Farm. She was to play an important part in Lavoisier's scientific career, translating English chemical works into French for him, assisting in the laboratory, and drawing diagrams for his scientific works.</div><div style="color: #134f5c; text-align: justify;"> For 3 years following his entry into the Tax Farm, Lavoisier's scientific activity diminished somewhat, for much of his time was taken up with official Tax Farm business. He did, however, present one important memoir to the Academy of Sciences during this period, on the supposed conversion of water into earth by <a class="alnk" href="http://www.answers.com/topic/evaporation" name="&lid=ALINK" onclick="assignParam('navinfo','method|4'+getLinkTextForCookie(this));" target="_top">evaporation</a>. By a very precise quantitative experiment Lavoisier showed that the "<a class="alnk" href="http://www.answers.com/topic/earthy" name="&lid=ALINK" onclick="assignParam('navinfo','method|4'+getLinkTextForCookie(this));" target="_top">earthy</a>" sediment produced after long-continued <a class="alnk" href="http://www.answers.com/topic/reflux" name="&lid=ALINK" onclick="assignParam('navinfo','method|4'+getLinkTextForCookie(this));" target="_top">reflux</a> heating of water in a glass vessel was not due to a conversion of the water into earth but rather to the gradual <a class="alnk" href="http://www.answers.com/topic/disintegration" name="&lid=ALINK" onclick="assignParam('navinfo','method|4'+getLinkTextForCookie(this));" target="_top">disintegration</a> of the inside of the glass vessel produced by the boiling water.</div><div style="color: #134f5c; text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="color: #b45f06; text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> Being a Descartes-ian was a very fortunate experience for me. Maybe because of the classmates I had, whom I admired for being almost.... PERFECT!. Perfect, yes, really perfect.

</div><div style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"> There were 18 boys in our section including me, and sometimes, I also thought and asked myself at that time, "why are all the quiet and enjoyable ones dumped in our section, to think about the fact that most of the boys in the other section are always reprimanded of their haughty jokes, loud laughs, and uttering mouths?" And so why God rather chose our section to have fulfilling students? do we deserve it? Perhaps, yes.</div><div style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"> Try to have a sort of survey or interview in any in the class about their experiences and journeys being a sophomore student, and most probably the survey would appeal to the answer of, "an amazing but unforgettable ones." shazx.. daw 2od lg.!</div><div style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"> BONDING- maybe one of the reasons why we stuck out that much. our classmates were a sort of idealistic and funny ones; yet can't hurt ones feelings. Maybe because, we Descartes-ians believed that anything begins with one's action especially with one's mouth, so we carefully studied and learned about that moral lesson, and so we did it.</div><div style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />

Or maybe, I'm the messenger that would let the message enlighten up their minds- To change promptly.</div><div style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />

As I've heard that I will belong to the other section, I started to think again and asked myself, "would they change after all?" The answer could maybe yes or no, but I assume that all farewells are always not the end of everything we seek to see but the beginning of something new. What would that new be? I just don't know yet....</div><div style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />

</ul><div style="text-align: justify;"><i> <span style="color: #38761d;"> The French thinker René Descartes (1596-1650) is called the father of modern philosophy. He initiated the movement generally termed rationalism, and his "Discourse on Method and Meditations" defined the basic problems of philosophy for at least a century.</span></i></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="color: orange;"> <span style="color: #b45f06;"> Ren</span></span></span><span style="color: orange; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">é</span><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;"> Descartes was born on March 31st, 1596</span></span><span style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;"> </span><span style="color: orange; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;">in the town of La Haye in the south of France, the son of </span><span style="color: orange; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;">Joachim Descartes, a Councilor in Parliament</span><span style="color: orange; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;"> and and intellectual who made certain to provide a good learning environment for his son. In 1606, at the age of 8, René attended the Jesuit college of Henri IV in La Flèche, where he studied literature, grammar, science, and mathematics. In 1614, he left La Flèche to study civil and cannon Law at Poitiers. In 1616, he received his baccalaureate and licentiate degrees in Law. Aside from his Law degrees, Descartes also spent time studying philosophy, theology, and medicine.</span></div><div style="color: #b45f06; text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">After a short stay in the military, Descartes went on to lead a quiet life, continuing his intellectual pursuits, writing philosophical essays, and exploring the world of science and mathematics. In 1637, he published "geometry", in which his combination of algebra and geometry gave birth to analytical geometry, better known as Cartesian geometry.</span></span></div><div style="color: #b45f06; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"> But the most important contribution Descartes made were his philosophical writings; Descartes, who was convinced that science and mathematics could be used to explain everything in nature, was the first to describe the physical universe in terms of matter and motion, seeing the universe a as giant mathematically designed engine. Descartes wrote three important texts: Discourse on the Method of Rightly Conducting the Reason and Seeking Truth in the Sciences, Meditations on First Philosophy, and Principles of Philosophy.</span></div><div style="color: #b45f06; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #b45f06;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> René Descartes is often called the father of modern science. He established a new, clear way of thinking about philosophy and science by rejecting all ideas based on assumptions or emotional beliefs and accepting only those ideas which could be proved by or systematically deduced from direct observation. He took as his philosophical starting point the statement </span><i style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Cogito ergo sum</i><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> -- "I think, therefore I am." Descartes made major contributions to modern mathematics, especially in developing the Cartesian coordinate system and advancing the theory of equations.</span></div><div style="color: #b45f06; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="color: #b45f06; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> <i> " And from me, I am so proud being a part of the clash on our section, II-Descartes (SSC) at CNCHS, and such memories here in heart and mind are not always forgotten.

Nagta-trabaho para sa mga politiko ang kanyang ina, taga-asikaso ng mga bagay-bagay. May masamang bisyo ang tatay ng binata, at dito halos napupunta ang perang kinikita ng nanay niya, kabilang na ang pang-tuition nila. Para makatakas sa mapait na realidad ay umaalis si Remcon ng kanilang bahay. Nakituloy sa mga kapitbahay at kung minsan ay sa mga kaibigan sa malalayong isla. Aminado si Remcon na isa siyang problem child dahil maaga itong sumubok ng mga bisyong sigarilyo, pag-inom at pagsugal.</div><div style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> Kahit pasaway si Remcon, mahusay naman daw itong humawak ng pera. Bata pa lang siya nang magtinda ng yema at mani para sa dagdag kita. Ang pisong yema ay binebenta niya ng tatlong piso, ang tatlong pisong mani ay ibinebenta niya ng limang piso. Nagtrabaho din si Remcon sa pier bilang isang kargador. Sabi ng binata, hindi nya ikinakahiya ang kanyang mga naging trabaho, sa katunayan ay proud siya sa mga ito.</div><div style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="color: #b45f06; font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> Makatulong kaya ang pagiging madiskarte ni Remcon sa mga tasks o mas mananaig ang pagiging ‘problem child’ nya sa loob ng bahay ni Kuya?<br />

The volcano in Iceland has decided to erupt and cause major problems at airports by stopping UK flights and Europe flights. Beyond the crazy human aspect, the Eyjafjallajokull volcano is quite spectacular. It erupted over a hundred years ago and while there was no airplanes at the time, it still had an amazing effect on humans who thought the mountain was haunted.</span></span></div><div style="color: #cc9933; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 100%;"> You know that ash cloud over Europe? According to scientists, to get that far the eruption of the Icelandic volcano had to spew ash into the air high. Way high. Right now it is spewing about 1.2 miles in the air and half of that is white - which is steam.</span></div><div style="color: #cc9933; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 100%;"> Last week with Eyjafjallajokull erupted the clouds were of ash which made it black and scientists say it blew out as high as 6.8 miles above the earth. Absolutely amazing!</span></div><div style="color: #cc9933; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 100%;"> With all the ash coming out that high, it makes you wonder how much is that. To put it in some perspective for the first three days it would be filling up a Yankees stadium every new seconds.</span></div><div style="color: #cc9933; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 100%;"> The ash was so dense for the first day of the eruption that locals within the are of the volcano had to bring in their livestock so the animals could breath. Unable to see more than a few feet in front of them, the people also had to stay inside and cover their mouths when they left to go outdoors.</span></div><div face="lucida grande" style="color: #cc9933; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br />
